First Peoples Arts Map Contributors
We would like to acknowledge everyone who participated in the Cultural Mapping sessions First Peoples Council hosted in 2005, 2007 and 2009. Their hard work and creative thinking contributed to the foundation for the generation of the interactive online First Peoples Arts Map.
The following people made generous contributions of their intelligence, time and energy to those earlier Cultural Mapping sessions:
Internationally respected Cultural Consultant, Robert Palmer introduced First Peoples' Council's Arts Program Coordinator, Cathi Charles Wherry to Cultural Mapping in 2005 and coached her during the development of the 2007 Cultural Mapping session.
This session was facilitated by a team of Aboriginal arts administrators and facilitators: Debra Hoggan, ainjil Hunt, France Trepanier and Debra Prince as well as First Peoples' Council staff, Lou-ann Neel and Emmy Beaton.
We would also like to thank STOLCETH /John Elliott for the welcoming address that set the tone for the 2007 session.
Paula Beltgens was an invaluable support as a mentor and advisor to the Arts Program Coordinator during the creation of the facilitation plan for this session. We also acknowledge her partner at EnCompass Consultants, David Scott for creating the print maps we used for the session.
This session was facilitated by a team composed of Sylvie Cottell, France Trepanier, ainjil Hunt and Irene Mills.
We would also like to thank the En'owkin Centre for hosting the session at their beautiful facility on the Penticton Indian Reserve. Special thanks to Jeannette Armstrong, Tracey Kim Bonneau and Geraldine Manossa.
We also thank the people at GeoMemes Research for building the website and the back-end architecture, and for continuing to support the project with contagious enthusiasm. Thanks to Charles Burnett, Patrick Hayes and Greg Sebastian, for their commitment to the project.
Thanks also to Metaform Communication Design and Susan Mavor for developing the icons and working with the team to design the site.
Any initiative like this requires financial resources. The First Peoples Arts Map would not be possible without the generous contributions to the Cultural Mapping session in 2009, and for the development of the actual site, from our funders and partners:

broadcast classes being scheduled for social distancing
Welcome to
The Guillory Group School of Real Estate
Texas' ONLY Commercial Leasing-Focused Real Estate School
Welcome to
The Guillory Group School of Real Estate
Texas' ONLY Commercial Leasing-Focused Real Estate School
We teach classes all over Texas -- in title offices, private brokerages, organizational luncheons and live via the Internet. While we're based right here in Houston, yet we've traveled to Austin and San Antonio, Tomball, Galveston and every place in between. Did we mention that a complimentary lunch is almost always included? The 2019 schedule already has classes booked through November. Did you book yours?
There are some great real estate schools in Texas, with the largest being woman-owned and that's phenomenal in our eyes! And while we're also woman-owned, that's not what makes our school unique. What's different about us is our laser focus on teaching the basics and beyond of commercial real estate. We've been in business since 2012 and have been growing strong every year. Thank you, Texas, for the love!
While we'd love to offer you courses in every area of real estate, we limit what we do so we can do it better than anyone else. So, if you're looking to obtain a real estate license, we can tell ya about some great institutions. But if you're a broker or agent, a tenant or even a landlord looking to expand your knowledge of commercial real estate transactions, this is your one-stop shop for education and information.
We have a variety of courses to choose from, all centered on some aspect of commercial leasing transactions. Our classes can be combines in full-day boot camps or taken separately. Visit our Registration page to view our calendar.
Sometimes, brokers and agents need transactional guidance NOW and simply cannot wait for a class! We're still here to help you whether this is your first commercial transaction or your 21st. Just give us a call or send an e-mail...and ask for owner Michica 'Mish' Guillory - Broker, GRI, ITI, TRLP.
We're not exclusive to Texas' real estate community. The information we teach is great for small business owners still operating out of their homes, existing tenants, new landlords & even investors. We speak at national and local conferences, luncheons and workshops all over the greater Houston area and Texas.

Canon describes their EOS C200 Cinema Camera as a "ready-to-go" production camera.
The C200 couples a small form factor coupled with the ability to capture 12bit RAW DCI 4K and the ability to use the full EF lens lineup.
Nauticam has always been at the forefront of housing development for the modular cinema camera with housings for RED, BlackMagic and ARRI cameras.
Nauticam continues the line now with the NA-C200 for the Canon C200.
Nauticam has long been producing industry-leading housings for Cinema cameras and have taken that experience to create the most advanced underwater cinema system housing available.
Taking advantage of the small form factor of the C200, the Nauticam NA-C200 is both ultra-portable yet offers full access to the camera's critical functions.
Nauticam has taken a modular approach to the C200 system, similar to that of the DCS housings for RED and ARRI cameras with a wide variety of add-ons from top-handles to skids and movable trim weights.
The NA-C200 features multiple bulkhead openings for HDMI/SDI Bulkheads and when paired with the NA-502S allows for the use of the SmallHD 502 monitor with SDI support. In bright conditions or if a monitor is not called for, the EVF can be used and enhanced with a Nauticam magnifying viewfinder, available in either traditional 180º or angled 45º.
The housing includes the newest version of the venerable Nauticam Cinema Skids that feature tracks along which the accompanying trim weights can be moved to achieve perfect trim for the shot.
Mounts on the housing itself also allow for direct attachment of the trim weights to allow for either a fixed trim or for when using tripod legs instead of the skids.
As with previous Cinema System housings, the Nauticam NA-C200 features large control knobs for focus and zoom also feature marking disks that can be removed and marked with the desired lens position or focus information.
The NA-C200 comes with the Nauticam Vacuum Check and Leak Detection electronics installed and with the addition of a vacuum valve gives temperature compensated (important for cinema cameras that generate significant sensor heat) visual indications via a large multi-color LED on the rear of the housing as to the watertightness of the system.
Connect the C200 to an external monitor or surface support with an HDMI or SDI bulkhead.
The C200 features SDI and HDMI output.

eight years
Eight years ago today we stood in a field and vowed to belong to each other. We were total opposites in a lot of ways. I think that makes things hard sometimes but it has also helped us to soften each other's edges. I knew when I married Joshua Caleb Green that my life would not be short on laughter and adventure and it definitely has not been. So today I reflect on where we've been, the sweetness, the trials, the oceans we've seen, the cities we've walked,the people we've loved, the babies we've made and I thank God for this man whom I love with all of my heart.

Naya is now three months old. She is the sweetest most laid back baby ever. She started sleeping through the night on her own at 8 weeks. She loves having her velvety little head rubbed. Nothing quite prepares you for the first time they smile back at you, amazing.
The smell of dirt and sunshine is making us look forward to summer.
Bathing suit season is kind of scary except when it's this cute.
Since Naya has been on the scene Ella has developed a feisty side.Lately they have been doing this puppy wrestling thing. I always feel like I should intervene but it is so funny to watch especially when Ella is the champion.

May 18, 1935-November 8, 2004
Now as I was young and easy under the apple boughs
about the lilting house and happy as the grass was green,
The night above the dingle starry,
Time let me hail and climb
Golden in the heydays of his eyes,
And honoured among wagons I was prince of the apple towns
And once below a time I lordly had the trees and leaves
Trail with daisies and barley
Down the rivers of the windfall light.
And I was green and carefree, famous among the barns
About the happy yard and singing as the farm was home,
In the sun that is young once only,
Time let me play and be
Golden in the mercy of his means,
And green and golden I was huntsman and herdsman, the calves
Sang to my horn, the foxes on the hills barked clear and cold,
and the sabbath rang slowly
In the pebbles of the holy streams...
...Nothing I cared in the lamb white days, that time would take me
Up to the swallow thronged loft by the shadow of my hand,
In the moon that is always rising,
Nor that riding to sleep
I should hear him fly with the high fields
And wake to the farm forever fled from the childless land.
Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means,
Time held me green and dying
Though I sang in my chains like the sea.
part of Fern Hill by Dylan Thomas,
because today instead of celebrating or writing a card I'm remembering.

to the birthday girl
If every family has a drama queen Heather is ours. She is the big sister who got me my very first shimmery pink lip gloss and mascara and showed me how to use them. There are seven years between us, so growing up we were always at pretty different stages, but I always loved my beautiful big sister. She seemed to always have to learn things the hard way which is probably why her compassion and understanding of people runs so deep. She is a wonderful listener and encourager. She's a mother to (soon to be) five children.
She's the only Riley sibling that still resides in New Jersey so we miss her lots. So cheers to you sweet sister.

How did my postcrossing hobby start? Here are some facts about it. :)
My first sent postcard went to Russia (surprise)! And it travelled 135 days. I sent it on13th November 2013 and it was received 28th March 2014. When I first requested the addresses, I didn't really have any postcards at home. :D So after requesting I had to do some postcard shopping. Other 4 cards went to Netherlands, Ukraine, Germany and USA. I was so excited (but also nervous) to send these first cards. I didn't get any "thank you" -messages after the first cards were received, because I had a problem with my e-mail. :S I couldn't get any e-mails for a while.
My first received postcard was from Leipzig in Germany and it travelled for 4 days to Finland. It was sent on 25th November 2013 and received on 29th November 2013. I wrote on my profile only that I would like to get pictures of your city (because my friend did so XD), but later I started to make a better wishlist which changes all the time.
Today I've been a member for 701 days! I enjoy postcrossing, postcard united and other kinds of postcard swaps very much. My friend told me about postcrossing, but I wasn't very interested in it right away. I told her that I preferred letters, and thought postcards were so boring. :'D But here I am! Totally addicted, sent and received hundreds of cards..
How did you find postcrossing? When did you start? Or still planning to start? :) Let me know!

We use pumice blocks to smooth your feet after calus removal.
Once you are satisfied that you have the smoothness you need, we discard the pumice we have used on your feet. We do this with every client who has a Deluxe or Luxury Pedicure.
OUR aim is simple: never ever reuse a pumice bar! Throw it away after each use in front of our clients!
(Reusing pumice will cause foot disease)
Yes, it's expensive in the long run for a business but when you are dealing with Client Hygiene, there is NO negotiation!
We also use the Prestige Visage Medical system which sterilises all tools to 134 degrees Celsius to ensure a high level of hygiene.

If your guess was yours truly then you are a very gooood guesser.
That's right, I am now in the latest, most hip virtual space – the software application market – and you can carry me around with you in your purse, in your pocket, or in your… – nevermind, I don't even want to consider where else you might be carry things – conveniently located and readily accessible to the touch of your command on that smartphone of yours that you love and worship so much.
Screenshots of the App:
In addition to what we see here with the screenshots:
- We have a photo stream of most of the photographs found on this site, as well as many, many more that are exclusive to the app (via Flickr, that is).
- We can access the entirety of this site, as well as PROSOCHĒ, my Literary Consultancy site.
- You can contact me directly through the app.
- There are games!
- And the feature that I'm most excited about: An audio recording of my novel The Sea Trials of an Unfortunate Sailor as performed by the author – and that would be me. I'll be recording and uploading new chapters of the book to the app regularly.
Pretty cool, right?
Now, I'll be the first to admit that the app is a little quirky. For instance, the audio player in the app starts the sound file over again each time the player is paused. And, if the phone goes to sleep, then the player stops. At least on my Android phone anyway. I'm not sure about iPhones. I'm not cool so I don't merit one of those. But those of you who are cool, please let me know what you think.
Another quirk is that when you open up either this site or PROSOCHĒ, you have to double tap the screen to get it sized correctly.
But other than those things it seems to work well enough, as far as I can tell anyway. But hey, you get what you pay for right and for this app you don't have to pay a dime. Just as I didn't have to pay a dime to create it. I used a free app building service found at appsbar.com. The site is pretty good but it has its own quirks. Contact me if you want a more thorough feedback of my app building experience than what you find here.
While building the app is free, there are costs associated with its distribution. To get the app into Google's app store I had to pay a $25 developer fee. The process in setting up the account and getting the app reviewed and accepted was pretty easy. All in all it took about an hour or so. They say it can take several days to get the app approved but my approval came back within a couple of hours and voila it was in the store and ready to go.
The best part about the appsbar service is that any update you do through them automatically updates the app in Google. Although I had to find out about this the hard way – by myself. Before I submitted the app I was wondering how updates are handled because it didn't discuss it on its FAQ. I submitted question after question but never got any response, other than a reply from them to one of my emails, but their email didn't have any text in it (yeah, weird). Finally I just went ahead and published the app. And, of course, as soon as it was published I realized that I needed to make changes. So I made the changes via appsbar and happily found that it is an automatic process all the way through Google.
The only negative about it all being automatic is that you will not know when I update that app. So that means you all better be checking that sucker on a regular basis…
Can you dig?
Anyway, as far as how the Apple process goes… I'm not there yet. It costs $100 for their developers account and I'm not ready to commit that kind of coin to it yet.
In the interim, you can scan the QRC image (found below and on the sidebar) and, according to appsbar, it will load an HTML5 page onto your iPhone that is just the same as downloading it through the iTunes store. Again, I'm not cool so I don't have an iPhone so I don't know so if you are cool and if you try it please let me know how it goes so I will know, despite my uncoolness.
Okay, so how about that? I'll be finishing up with the first chapter of my novel soon so get your app installed and on standby. And if you do install that sucker, hit me up through either the "Info Request" or "Contact Kurt" feature of the app and let me know what you think.
Thanks, Friends.

I live to be over Your knee.
Restrained within Your limbs.
Naked, vulnerable, bottom in the air.
Your hand warms my flesh.
Kind caresses, gentle tickles.
Sweet, but we both know why I'm here.
Your big hand lifts up, higher.
I wait for the impact, needy, impatient.
When I've given up, Your hand crashes down.
I jump, I cry out, I wiggle on your lap.
You are steadfast and strong.
The onslaught begins.
Rarely a pattern, I think You're afraid I'll get lost.
But tonight, I might get lost anyway.
Left cheek, right cheek, center.
Center, left cheek, left cheek.
It's so startling, but soon enough I calm.
I sink into it, tears threatening to fall.
Far too quickly, it's over.
I want to be Your good girl, but I want more.
I think I need it.
Before I misbehave, You speak.
Bend over the bed.
I comply eagerl, listening to your retreating footsteps.
You return before I finish that thought.
Smackthud! The floggers hits hard.
Between my shoulder blades, causing me to flinch.
Down my back, across my ass, the backs of my thighs.
And back up again. A beautiful, painful pattern this time.
Tears flow freely from my soul.
I'm not crying due to pain, but because of love.
Long ago, I explained this to You.
I never want you to worry – or to stop.
You tire of the flogger and pick up something else.
Cracksting! The whip.
I was floating a little, but I'm back on the ground now.
This bites. In such a good way.
I love the marks, the blood just at the surface.
My back, my ass, my legs are on fire.
I think I can't take anymore, but I'm so glad I do.
Shortly, the whip joins the discarded flogger.
You pick up something else.
Thudboombloom! Ah! The metal loop.
The contrast between this and the whip is divine.
I don't want it to stop, ever.
I want to float away, but You want me here.
I struggle to stay planted. I become still.
I am quiet. Living a full life within each strike.
It's never long enough and tonight is no exception.
You stop the torrent of blows.
But before I can protest, politely of course…
You slam all the way into me.
We are one and I would do anything for You.
You are my air, my water, my life.
A pump or two and I am gone.
Yours, and nothing else.

If you are based in Tel Aviv then there is plenty for you to do and see in the surrounding areas.
For instance, just down the road is the marina in Herzliya. There you will find that they run a number of different events throughout the year including music festivals, beer gardens, special events on the beach and much more. Herzliya is a very short distance from Tel Aviv, and there are excellent public transport links.
If you are looking for a day trip away from the city then you can easily visit the city of Jerusalem. Jerusalem is only about an hour's drive away from Tel Aviv, and there is excellent public transport links that basically run around the clock. In Jerusalem, you can visit a huge number of famous sites, such as the Western Wall and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Old City, or the Israel Museum in the modern city.
One of Israel's most famous attractions is the Dead Sea, and it is entirely possible to go on a day trip from Tel Aviv. At the Dead Sea you can bathe in the nutrient rich muds, float in the salty water, and also go to visit Masada, the famous mountain top fortress that dates back thousands of years.
In the opposite direction, you could go on a day trip to the Negev Desert in the south of the country. You can visit the old city of Beersheba (as well as the modern city), visit the local Bedouin communities, and even stay overnight in a Bedouin tent.
Geographically Israel is a very small country, so if you are based in Tel Aviv, then there are plenty of options for exploring outside of the city.

Lately everybody's been raving about simplifying our approach to nutrition. It's the premise of Food Rules, Michael Pollan's nutrition guide I just reviewed. It's also the motto of fitness guru Harley Pasternak, creator of The 5-Factor Diet.
But really, if eating simply were so simple, wouldn't we be doing it already?
Why It's Hard to Choose Less
Americans aren't minimalists. We strive for abundance and revel in our power as consumers to choose. Oh, and we don't like to make too many trips. To satisfy our love of options, our choices grow and conglomerate into bigger and bigger supermarkets.
Not really conducive to paring down.
Lengthening lists of ambiguous ingredients don't help, either.
Is maximalism really more efficient? Does it improve our quality of life?
Research says no.
It Pays to Declutter
Sheena Iyengar, author of The Art of Choosing, has found that although we like options, too many often leads to paralysis or bad choices. Says Sheena, "The buffet is appealing—even if the food is worse and you put stuff on your plate you don't want."
Sheena conducted an experiment in a grocery store. She set up a booth offering samples of jam, first presenting 24 flavors, and later just 6 flavors. While more people were drawn in by the larger array of jams, only 3% of samplers chose a jam.
Of those who stopped to sample from the 6-flavor selection, 30% bought jam.
Her conclusion: there are costs to having too many options. Too many food choices stress us out and we often pick the wrong thing or give up.
Closing your eyes and pointing is not the best way to make food decisions at the supermarket. Or in a restaurant. Or standing in front of the fridge.
Less (Than 10) is More
Sheena reports that 5-9 choices is the magic range. When we choose from within this scope, we "feel most confident and are more likely to make a choice and be happier about it."
Applying her discovery to eating, if we can retrain ourselves to narrow the scope of our food options we'll be happier. And, if we eat food with fewer (junky) ingredients, we'll be healthier.
With fewer choices and simpler practices, we are free to spend more time tasting our food, learning the facts and listening to our bodies. Think of how easy it will be to put together the perfect nutrition plan!
Food Bliss
If you get overwhelmed trying to decode your nutrition picture (what should I cut out? how many ingredients is too many?), take a pause and just enjoy your meal. That's part of eating simply.
Food, naturally grown and cared for, really is awe-inspiring (and mouth-watering).
Another reason the farmer's market, not the supermarket, is the place to be on Saturday mornings!
How about you: food minimalist or maximalist?

Patrick Roy could be head coach and general manager of the Colorado Avalanche if he accepts the posts from his former club.
According to Ruefrontenac.com - a Montreal-based news website - Avs president Pierre Lacroix has offered Roy both jobs and that Roy wants to hire former teammate Sylvain Lefebvre and Drummondville head coach Guy Boucher as his assistants.
The GM posting became vacant after Lacroix fired Francois Giguere last month and Tony Granato is still the team's head coach.
The Montreal report added that Craig Billington - the Avs' vice president of hockey operations and Roy's former backup, could serve as a co-general manager.
The Denver Post reported last week that the Avalanche offered Roy the coaching job, and added there was a possibility he might get the vacant general manager's job as well.
Ruefrontenac.com also reports that Lacroix is offering Roy almost full control over the club's hockey operations as a way of trumping any potential offer from his other former team - the Montreal Canadiens.
Since retiring in 2003, Roy has been part owner and head coach of the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, winning a Memorial Cup title in 2006.

Collection Policy
The Scandinavian-Immigrant Experience Collection in the Robert A. L. Mortvedt Library of Pacific Lutheran University is a depository of historical materials relating to immigrants to the Pacific Northwest from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden and to the immigrants from these countries who first settled in other states and countries. The collection includes items which support the academic, educational, and research programs of the university and the research needs of scholars beyond the immediate university constituency. The collection is augmented by other books and materials in the Mortvedt Library and by artifacts, works of art, and other materials in the collections of the university's Scandinavian Cultural Center and The University Archives. The collection is an administrative department of Mortvedt Library. The responsibility for the management and development of the collection rests with the curator under the delegated authority of the Associate Provost for Information and Technology. Faculty members of the Scandinavian Studies Committee work closely with the curator and assist with the development and promotion of the collection.
Types of Materials Collected
a. Formats
The Scandinavian Immigrant Experience Collection includes types of materials which are normally found in archives and local and regional history collections. These include books, pamphlets, newspapers, periodicals, photographs and prints, slides, filmstrips, motion pictures, videotapes, phonodiscs, tape recordings, manuscripts, maps, drawings, clippings and other ephemera, and printed memorabilia. Both original material and facsimiles, including microprints and other reproductions, are collected. Artifacts and works of art, more appropriate for a museum or an art gallery, are not collected for the Scandinavian Immigrant Experience Collection, but if received, will be transferred to the Scandinavian Cultural Center or The University Archives.
b. Subject Coverage
The Collection is limited to materials relating to Scandinavian immigrants. General works of fiction and non-fiction are added to the general collection of Mortvedt Library rather than to the special immigrant collection. Exceptions may be made for items which are rare, valuable, or fragile if they have a distinct relationship to the immigrants or the country from which they emigrated.
Works describing conditions in the native countries are included, as are materials describing conditions in the Pacific Northwest at the time of the immigration.
Materials written expressly for the immigrants and published in the United States or abroad, including fiction and non-fiction, are collected. These may be either on specific topics or for special purposes (music, school books, religious literature, occupations, guides, manuals, etc.)
The Collection includes literature produced by immigrants which relates to their personal experiences before, during, and after immigration, and which describes and interprets the experiences of others.
Biographies and autobiographies, family historic, and institutional and organizational studies (including resources such as directories, catalogs, rosters, brochures, letters, diaries, etc.) are included. However, the major focus of the Collection is not on genealogical materials.
Collection Policies and Procedures
a. Collection Management
The collection, preservation, and use of materials in the Scandinavian Immigrant Experience Collection are subject to the general policies and procedures governing other collections in the Mortvedt Library.
b. Acquisition of Material
All materials given to the Collection become the exclusive property of Pacific Lutheran University. If it is deemed advisable, a gift to the Collection shall be conveyed by a deed or other legal instrument describing the material, stating any use restrictions, and listing any exceptions to the conveyance of full property and literary rights. The curator shall have the right to dispose of gift material in any way she/he wishes. This includes the right to give such material to other institutions.
As an interested party and for the protection of its donors and itself, the curator will not appraise gifts to the Collection. However, she/he may suggest to a donor that an appraisal is desirable and assist in obtaining one.
The donor of materials agrees to allow The Scandinavian Immigrant Experience Collection to make at least one reproduction of each item that is considered essential to the preservation of the original or if it contributes to the research and educational purposes of the Collection. Furthermore, the donor of materials agrees that the curator and members of the archives staff shall not be held liable for any copyright infringement by a user of the materials as long as the user adheres to the provisions of the Copyright Law. (U.S. Code, Title 17.)

Orlando York Rite Bodies Legend
January, 2017
Eureka Chapter No 7
Royal Arch Masons
C. Craig Frazier, Excellent High Priest
Greetings Companions,
I am deeply honored to have been elected to the office of High Priest of Eureka Chapter No. 7. Royal Arch Masons. I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to serve my companions in this role. With the support of the elected and appointed Officers, it is my goal to breathe new life into our York Rite and to keep the business meetings structured, organized, and meaningful while attempting to be expeditious.
This year we will be revisiting different portions of the ritual that were key points of interest during our initiations, so that we may all benefit from the knowledge of that which was lost. It is my hope that this will be interesting to both the new as well as the seasoned companions. I also hope this will bolster meeting attendance and ignite a revitalization in our membership.
We will also be planning some events both curricular and extracurricular in the hopes of strengthening the bond of fellowship amongst our members. We see a lot of new faces with each festival but rarely see them again. It is my hope that together we can provide the atmosphere and knowledge of the rites that the initiates are so hungry for.
Sincerely & Fraternally,
Companion C. Craig Frazier

2017 is upon us and with it a new year. I started 2016 as EC of the Commandery and in the first legend I asked for a new commitment to increasing our membership. I again take up that torch to preach about our need for new members, not only in the Council but in all three bodies of the Orlando York Rite. I believe that if we can all recruit one new member each we will double in size. The Orlando York Rite has a proud tradition of being a strong vibrant fraternity that we can all help restore to a healthy institution of Masonic brotherly love. Stop for a moment and look at the pictures on the wall outside the sanctuary of the Orlando Commandery back in day. Wouldn't it be wonderful to see that again as well as a Chapter and Council with a multitude of sideliners.
That was my Christmas wish and was my New Year Resolution as well. You or I by ourselves cannot accomplish this but as I said, if each member recruits a new member, we double our size quickly and we definitely need some new (young) blood to begin advancement toward the leadership positions.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a joyous New Year.
Fraternally; William J. Miller

Sir Knights,
Greetings form the East! and Happy New Year!
I am looking forward to serving you, as your Eminent commander this year! I am filled with thankfulness that you have honored me with this position.
I have been a member of the York Rite for five years and have had the pleasure of the friendship and companionship of all who have attend. The degrees and Orders that are the York Rite are some of the greatest piece of literature ever written and as we study and become more familiar with the teachings our lives are abundantly enriched. I am thankful for the Commanders and Officers that have gone before me as they have been excellent examples. Knowing many of our members I know I can rely on you for guidance and council and therefore feel confident in assuming this roll. I will make it my priority to make our conclaves interesting, fun, short and always lifting up the name of Our Blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I want to say a word about two Sir Knights who have gone ahead to be with Our Lord Jesus. John B. Fletcher Jr. and Richard I. Fox. These two men were great friends, mentors and teachers to me. They have shown all of us what it is like to leave a legacy. May Each Of You Be Tremendously Blessed In This New Year.

When you go through a divorce, you'll find yourself in the middle of managing work, children, property settlements and co-parenting – and often, divorce guilt. It's often not discussed, but divorce is often a great upheaval in your life, and you may find yourself suffering in the aftermath with divorce guilt. Depending on whether you initiated the divorce and how acrimonious the divorce has been, your levels of divorce guilt and pain may be different, but most people go through a grieving process, and it's important to know that this is okay.
Divorce Guilt Is Real
In a recent situation, Kayla (not her real name), initiated a divorce from her husband. The religious group she was part of did not condone divorce, despite the fact that it had been an abusive marriage. She says she experienced terrible divorce guilt because she wanted to end the toxic relationship, and because she could see that her children would be treated differently because of her decision. The exclusion of her religious group added to the divorce guilt and pain she had already experienced.
Research has discovered that if your divorce is bitter, then the more guilt and pain you will experience. If you have children, you may feel guilty for breaking up their family. It's common for most people to experience divorce guilt because they feel as if they've failed in their marriage, or that their vows have been broken. You may also experience divorce guilt and pain if your children struggle to adjust to their new normal, but rest assured that there is plenty you can do to help both you and your children heal.
While each case is different, researchers have bought together a list that may assist in overcoming divorce guilt and pain.
How To Deal With Your Divorce Guilt and Pain
Usually, professionals recommend treating the pain and guilt of divorce in the same way as grief. The first step is to recognise that there has been a loss and not try and avoid the fact that your marriage has ended. It's normal to feel shock and denial, especially if you didn't initiate the divorce. Even if you did, the shock of your new reality is likely to hit you at some point. However, it's important not to remain in this stage.
The pain of divorce is normal, and accepting such a fact will help you move on faster. It is a normal way for you to realise that something needs fixing. Even if you filed for divorce, you may also be feeling grief and pain. However, you should also realise that your pain will lessen over time. As bad as you feel right now, as time continues, you will heal.
Spend your time healing. Some people prefer to sit at home and wallow in their sadness. However, turn that grief into energy! You might like to throw your efforts into your career to take up a new volunteering position. You might start training for a marathon or get that puppy you've always wanted. Find something that works for you. But remember, don't feel upset if it is taking a while to heal. A broken finger can take a months to heal because of the constant use. Divorce is a major life event and a major source of stress, so give yourself plenty of time and permission to heal. It's not going to happen overnight, but it will happen eventually. Be patient with yourself in the meantime.
Don't put off grieving. Pushing your feelings down deep inside never helps. Do not feel embarrassed at your sadness or grief. Instead, acknowledge it. Ask for help, talk to people and do things to better yourself. Feeling upset is a normal response to divorce and your body and mind needs to heal. You may not want to consider it, but forgiveness can help you move on. Instead of holding that grudge, put your energy into forgiving the person who has hurt you.
Also, begin to let go of what happened in the past. Yes, you were once in love with that person; but now it is time to move forward. Do not spend your time dwelling on what has happened in the past; instead, focus on how you can work on yourself in the future. However, avoid rebounds! A rebound relationship can end in disaster, because usually you are bringing all of your pain and grief into the next relationship. Instead, make sure you deal with the end of one relationship before you enter into another.
Our last tip is to find support. Whether it be from your mum, a professional mental health worker or a support group you found online; support can go a long way. Do not be afraid to ask for help.
If you need any help with the legal terms of divorce, do not be afraid to contact us. Our friendly and experienced family lawyers are ready to help you navigate this new chapter of your life.

All aesthetics arises from life and ends up going home to the world of art, no matter how or where it started, in the church or the counterfeit palace of pleasure known as the cathouse. What was understood by jazzmen like Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, Sidney Bechet, and Louis Armstrong was of such profound importance to jazz performance that it has continued to influence every solid approach to the music, regardless of style.
The most familiar Mississippi blues story starts in the Delta, where African-rooted field hollers evolved into haunted guitar masterpieces that traveled to Chicago and became the electric core of rock & roll. But there are lots of other stories, and this one is blue in another way. It is about the songs of the lowdown characters who ruled the lumber and levee camps, the honky-tonks and jukes, from the Gulf Coast to Memphis. And about the dozens, which has carried their tradition into the twenty-first century.

Apart from being taller than many of his fellow students, his apparently carefree demeanour, sense of humour, and engaging grin belied a maturity beyond his years; and his Croatian passport and Californian driving licence hinted at exotic details of his biography which were otherwise only evident on closer acquaintance.
Born in Zagreb on 11 September 1978, Luka, at the age of 13, fled the wars which marked the break-up of former Yugoslavia. Though he was still very young, he cherished his freedom and did not conceive his life as the life of "a refugee." His adaptability and openness won him acceptance and friends wherever he went.

PwC is the world's largest professional services firm with $29.2 billion in revenues and offices in 757 cities across 154 countries. Their success, in part, has been achieved by employing a large, empowered workforce powered by a network of branches across multiple cities.
The Challenge
"Druva is an effective solution that completely meets IT expectations without requiring user intervention or maintenance."
Rajesh Kumar Sharma
Assistant Manager, PwC
PwC is spread across multiple locations and a significant percentage of its workforce operates remotely. Without an endpoint data protection solution in place, PwC faced a number of challenges in protecting its critical corporate data:
- High costs associated with recovery of lost data
- No guarantee of complete data retrieval
- Reduced productivity from lost data
- Excessive user involvement and heavy resource requirement for backing up manually
To effectively protect data for its mobile workforce, PwC needed a solution that would meet these requirements:
- Enterprise-grade data protection for laptops and mobile devices
- Successful backups without user intervention or impact to user productivity
- Protection against data breach of lost or stolen devices
Druva inSync
"What we really needed was a solution that would help safeguard and protect critical client data carried by our remote users in the event of theft or hardware failure."
Rajesh Kumar Sharma
Assistant Manager, PwC
"Druva is perfect for the enterprise that needs an effective backup solution for its mobile users."
Rajesh Kumar Sharma
Assistant Manager, PwC
After testing solutions from several vendors, PwC selected Druva inSync to provide its remote workforce with complete data protection. inSync provides PwC with fast and secure endpoint backups over WAN and centralized administration with low user intervention. Automated backup eliminates costs incurred from data loss, as well as consequent productivity loss. If devices are lost or stolen, inSync protects PwC's critical data with DLP capabilities including device encryption and remote wipe.

The extractive (labelled Sc), from Chenopodium ambrosioides (Linn), which had been characterised as hexadec-12-enoic acid in an earlier work, was tested for analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory activities. The result for the acetic acid induced writhing test for Sc revealed very high activity, 96.77%, being significantly higher than that of the standard, aspirin i.e. acetyl salicylic acid, (64.68 %). The hot plate analgesic test showed that the activity was not significant and was short-lived compared to that of morphine. The test for antipyretic activity revealed that it possessed not only antipyretic but also hypothermic activity 3 hours after administration. The anti-inflammatory activity of hexadec-12-enoic acid may be involved prostaglandin synthesis inhibition.

Dancer's year in reviewAs we kick off a new semester of dance and a new calendar year, take a few moments to think about what your goals are for your dancing. Depending on your life and the amount of time you have been dancing, these vary a great deal from person to person.
A few things to think about as you look back on your dancing thus far:What did you accomplish/what are you proud about with your dancing? This can be as simple as making it through the performance, or nailing a combo you were struggling with. If you can't think of something, we need to talk J I can list multiple things each of you have accomplished.
In planning for the new year – What down you want to work on? This can be one simple thing or a couple of things.Looking back in one of my old dance notebooks, I found some of my own lists. They were simple, like improving my chicken arms (yep, I had them), attending a workshop with Aziza, learning how to Berber Walk and elevator drop without pain.
If you have been dancing for a while, these goals may include trying your first workshop, joining Shimmymob, or working on your physical strength to make you better dancer. Need someone to help you be accountable, talk about your goals with a dance friend or me!! Happy Shimmies!!!!

Growing up, I read a lot of mythology. I took classes on it, too (as do many gamers and fantasy writers). So, I base a lot of the concepts and names in my stories on mythology. Of course, the problem is, a LOT of people do that. Video game designers, film makers, other writers. When you use something that's appeared in popular culture, you run the risk of being told "You totally ripped that off XYZ."
I read a lot. I have all my life. It's really difficult to keep all that subconscious knowledge from influencing me in some way. I would argue that to do so would not only be counter-productive, but would make my life and my writing devoid of creation. Explaining a new concept in writing, to an audience who has never heard of it, can be very difficult. If it's truly new and unique, it can be equally difficult just to write about. Using ideas, concepts, and descriptions that are somewhat familiar to an audience already can help them visualize it in a very quick, efficient way. It's a risk every author takes. One can be influenced without even realizing it. One just has to trust that their editors and beta readers will point out anything too overt. That's why we go through the process.
Take World Trees, for example. They are linked with things like the Tree of Life, Yggdrasil, etc. The idea has been around for millenia. Azeroth, the world of World of Warcraft also has world trees, of a sort. So did the film, Avatar (Hometree). It's not new, but I guarantee you someone, somewhere will criticize me for using it in my novel, Wings of Twilight and say "You ripped off World of Warcraft!" It's a short reference to something that isn't even seen in the story.
"He saw their World Tree, Syl'drasil, once, from a great distance, but never cared to venture deep enough into the forest to find it. The World Tree was over a mile high, near half that in diameter and as old as the world itself, if one believed the stories."
—Wings of Twilight
Another example are devils. Demons, devils, whatever you want to call them. Most depictions of them have some similarities. Common attributes include horns, red skin, resistance to fire, wings–usually leathery or bat wings, sharp teeth. I have never read a description about an entity specifically called a demon or devil that didn't include one of those. Like Poseidon's trident, or Zeus's lightning bolt, those attributes help an audience make an immediate connection and help them identify what is is they're reading about or seeing.
It's not a rip off, it's a tool. Readers will enjoy your writing more if you make it easy for them to visualize and identify with what you're describing. If they have to analyze every sentence, stopping to look up words or research concepts, chances are, they're not going to finish your book.

IFPI and ARIPO sign landmark agreement to support African music rights
IFPI, representing the recording industry worldwide, and the African Regional Intellectual Property Organisation (ARIPO), have signed a landmark agreement that will enhance the rights of African artists and their music.
The Memorandum of Understanding signed by the two organisations will further strengthen the copyright law framework and licensing of sound recording rights across the African continent. This will support African artists and record companies with their rights to be fairly rewarded for the music they are creating and contribute to the evolution of the African music market.
The commitment made between the two parties also foresees further cooperation in areas from capacity building to the development of joint events.
Commenting on the agreement, Frances Moore, chief executive IFPI, said: "The new digital environment opens unprecedented opportunities for African artists and record companies to bring their music to a worldwide audience, provided the copyright laws and the licensing infrastructure is there to support it.
"IFPI and our member companies look forward to cooperating with ARIPO to enable African artists and record companies to achieve their potential and to fully benefit from the fruits of their creativity and investment."
Sean Watson, Managing Director of Sony Music Entertainment Africa, Chairperson of the Recording Industry of South Africa and the South African Music Performance Rights Association said on the development: "If we all work together to create a safe environment for copyright owners and artists to make their music available for fans then everybody wins. This is an important step in that direction."
The Director General of ARIPO, Mr Fernando dos Santos, had this to add: "We are excited to seal this strategic partnership with IFPI. Our greatest hope is to see Collective Management Organization's become more pro-active in collecting and distributing royalties amongst the right holders' whose works have been used and to see users of copyrighted works willingness to pay for the usage. ARIPO with its partners will endeavour to do all it can within its means to best further the cause of capacity building in Africa thereby contributing to the benefits and protection provided for within the African music market."
ARIPO is an Intergovernmental Organization established to promote the use of Intellectual Property for the development in its Member States. Membership of the Organization is open to all States members of the African Union (AU) or of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA). Currently ARIPO counts 19 Member States from the East, South and Western Africa and looks forward to other African countries to be its Member States.
IFPI promotes the interests of the international recording industry worldwide. Its membership comprises some 1,300 major and independent companies in 58 countries. It also has affiliated industry national groups in 57 countries. IFPI's mission is to promote the value of recorded music, campaign for the rights of record producers and expand the commercial uses of recorded music in all markets where its members operate.

The ARMA model is a general model that includes both the AR and the MA models. This section describes time series value predictions based only on ARMA models. You can apply ARMA model-based prediction to AR or MA model-based prediction by converting an AR or MA model to an ARMA model.
Use the TSA ARMA Prediction VI to predict the future values of univariate or multivariate time series based on the estimated ARMA or VARMA models.
The following figure shows an example of predicting the monthly temperatures for the following year based on the ARMA model of the monthly temperatures during the previous eleven years.
|Note The data source in the previous figure is from the Time Series Data Library.
In the previous figure, the Original graph contains the monthly average temperatures for twelve consecutive years. Before predicting future values, this example estimates the AR model for the temperature time series of the first eleven years. With the estimated AR model coefficients and by specifying the MA model coefficients to one, this example predicts the monthly temperatures for the twelfth year using the TSA ARMA Prediction VI.
The Prediction Result graph in the previous figure compares the predicted temperatures with the original temperatures of the twelfth year by plotting them together. The prediction may bias from the true values but the true values fall into the estimated confidence range. The Upper Limit and Lower Limit plots in the Prediction Result graph indicate the confidence range of the prediction. You can see in the Confidence Level indicator that the prediction result falls into the estimated confidence range with the confidence level of 99.73% (3σ).
Refer to the ARMA Prediction VI in the labview\examples\Time Series Analysis\TSAGettingStarted directory for an example that demonstrates how to obtain ARMA model parameters of a univariate time series by using the Time Series Analysis VIs.

by RC Miller
Calliope Nerve Publications
37 pages.
reviewed by Joseph M. Gant
Though drawing quite steadily from the vocabulary of contemporary dark verse, RC Miller uses specific surrealism and absurd humor to disarm any preconceptions of the poems in Gore. The turns are sharp, well executed, and refreshing. If there is "shock" in these poems it is a shock to any misplaced expectations regarding a book titled Gore.
In Gore, nothing is taboo, but that's not what sets Gore apart. Irreverence aimed at church, sanity, and ambiguous sexuality have become common fodder in many works, however Miller makes no pretense that he is the first nor profoundest to write such verse. Often, these poems seem to be laughing at themselves. They are both the tight-rope and the walker, and this relationship of the poem to itself is signature throughout Gore.
Stylistically, Miller writes in tight, concise stanzas and couplets. With a strong awareness for presentation, he uses the page well, avoiding meandering narrative and consistently respecting the inherent bounds of the free form poem. Regardless of whether Miller evokes in you a contemplation, a disregard, a chuckle, or a scratching of the head, the execution of each poem is undoubtedly polished down to its punctuation. Gore is a book of language first, message second. This characteristic makes Miller's work both accessible and easy to enjoy.
All that aside, it's just a good fucking book worth reading.

While singer-songwriter Justin Levinson, a Burlington, Vermont native, is not a household name he has started to generate some heat in New England and beyond. Levinson has won songwriting awards from Boston's famed Berklee College of Music as well as the award for Best New Male Artist of 2007 from the International Acoustic Music Awards. Predetermined Fate, his third CD of original material, shows us why.
Levinson's latest disc falls firmly into the country-rock genre and makes full usage of harmonicas, steel guitars, and fiddles along with the usual piano, electric rock guitar, and drums. His voice fits the material well and his arrangements are always mainstream yet eclectic. He writes intelligent lyrics without getting obscure so his eleven tunes are all highly accessible. Many of his self-written songs discuss the serious side of life and love. However, his often brisk arrangements prevent them from wallowing too deep in the quicksand of self pity that so many of his peers become mired in with predictable regularity.
Predetermined Fate is front loaded with the CD's best songs. "Everything's About You," the lyrically great "Bandaid On A Bullet Wound," "Hopelessness," and "Losing You To Tennessee" are the highlights of this thirty-seven minute disc that is concise enough not to wear out its welcome.
Kudos to Levinson who proves once again that fame and talent often do not meet at the musical fork in the road.
