The Colosseum is the most famous building of Antique Rome. Located in the Eternal City, capital of Italy, its construction began in 72 A.D under the reign of the Emperor Vespasian and was finished around 82 A.D. In the beginning, the Colosseum was named "Flavian Amphitheatre" since Vespasian founded the Flavian dynasty. It is composed of three different levels of arches and it is about 48 meters high. This Amphitheatre was able to welcome about 70 000 people for the different shows and games it held. There were 80 entrances; one was personally dedicated to the emperor and his family while three entrances were dedicated to the Roman Elite. Inside, the different terraces were organized in a way that the different social classes were separated from one another while watching the various games. The name "Colosseum" first appeared in the Middle Ages because people were fascinated by the huge statue of Nero (known as the "Colossus of Nero") that once stood next to the amphitheater.
Things to see
The Colosseum offered different kinds of entertainment to the Roman people such as animal fights, hunts of wild animals such as lions and tigers, gladiator fights, and reconstructions of different battles, including naval battles. Said naval battles were permitted due to the ingenious machinery which brought water inside the Colosseum.
The Colosseum is listed as one of the new Seven Wonders of the World. Unfortunately, its structure suffers from bad weather, pollution and time. The parts of its walls that are missing and which give it its famous silhouette were taken away during the Middle Age to build other buildings, such as Saint Peter's Basilica. In other words, Saint Peter's Basilica was built with stones originating from the Colosseum!

Capitoline Hill
Capitoline Hill is the most famous of the seven hills of Rome; another name often associated to it is the "Hill of Gods". Capitoline Hill is composed of two summits separated by a gap. During the Roman Empire, Nero built his arch in the gap between the two summits.
On one of the summits once stood the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, the most important temple on the hill. It was not only a place of worship but also the place were Romans used to keep their treasure and precious items. The Temple of Jupiter was destroyed and rebuilt several time until it eventually declined into disuse and ruin during the 5th and 6th centuries. Some say that when Emperor Vespasian rebuilt the Temple of Jupiter, he helped the masons himself. To reach Jupiter's temple, people had to take the Gemonian Stairs. These stairs were also a place where people were condemned to death sentence and then thrown down the steps toward the Tiber River.
Things to see
On the other summit, where now stands the Basilica of St. Mary of the Altar of Heaven, there was the Temple of Juno, the protector and special counselor of the state. Romans used to make coins for their currency here; in fact, the practice started in this temple. Another interesting thing about this temple is that according to legend, the Gauls arrived and climbed the Hill to try to steal Roman treasure but Juno's sacred geese cried out so loudly that the Romans were alerted of the Gauls' attempt.
Nowadays we can reach the Capitol Square from a huge staircase named Cordonata. On the summit now stands Rome's City Hall along with the Roman Museum of the Capitoline Hill. The equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius is situated in the middle of the Piazza del Campidoglio, where these buildings are situated, and cannot be missed!
Circus Maximus
Circus Maximus is the biggest Roman arena and the oldest circus from Ancient Rome. It is located between the Palatine Hill and the Aventine Hill in the Murcia Valley. Circus Maximus was famous for its chariot races; even if today many see it as some mere ruins, we can still appreciate how big it was for its time with its 600 meters in length and 80 meters in width.
Circus Maximus was able to welcome up to 250 000 people when it was originally built, and even more after some renovations were made. It was first used during the Etruscans era in the 6th century B.C. Julius Caesar later extended the Circus and added a gap between the arena and the bleachers in order to protect people watching the race.
Things to see
After the big fire of Rome in 64 A.D., the seats were rebuilt out of stone and marble while the arena itself was enlarged to be able to welcome up to 300 000 people. In the middle of the arena was the "Spina", which divided the arena into two different parts. The Spina was a small wall covered by statues, fountains, columns and other embellishments, along with Augustus' Obelisk. This obelisk, the first ever brought over from Egypt, still exists and can be seen today on Piazza del Popolo. The chariots racers would ride around this obelisk in the middle of the Spina.
It is actually still possible to see vestiges of the starting point of the chariots if you go on the side of Viale Aventino. The last race happened in 549 A.D. but after that the Circus Maximus slowly fell into disuse and decay. Nowadays, it has become a large green space where people go to jog or exercise; concerts and other events are sometimes held there.
Palatine Hill
The Palatine Hill is the most centrally located among the seven famous hills of Rome. It is positioned near the Colosseum, the Circus Maximus and the Roman Forum, and was the home of several emperors. Indeed, Augustus, Cicero and Marcus Antonius all built their palaces on this hill. From the top, it offers visitors a very nice view of the Eternal City.
According to legend, it is on this hill that the twins Romulus and Remus were discovered by their mythical she-wolf mother. It is also on this hill that Romulus decided to found Rome, so Palatine Hill is generally considered as the birthplace of the Roman Empire.
Things to see
During the Roman Republic, Palatine Hill became the most popular place to live. In fact, the name "Palatine" is derived from the word "palace" since so many were built. Many chose to live here firstly because it offers a wonderful view of the city and secondly because at the time, people believed there was more pure air here than lower on the hill where laborers worked. They believed that they would get less sick thanks to this pure air.
During the Middle Ages, several churches and convents were also built on the hill. Later, the hill became the property of the cardinal Alessandro Farnese, who had a nice botanical garden constructed upon the ruins.

Usually, January is the month that lasts for two. But I feel like this particular January flew by. Here's some randomosity for your Friday reading.
- My mother-in-law got us tickets to go an author reading in a few months and suggested that, to prepare, we both read her latest book. The author – B. A. Shapiro – is new to me. The book is called The Collector's Apprentice and it sounds v. interesting – love and art and revenge, all with the 1920s as a backdrop. Sign me up!
- I bought the book with a gift card. A gift card I'd had since… at least two Christmases ago. I am not good at usinggift cards, because I don't want to waste them. My husband is the exact opposite. He BURNS to use a gift card immediately. I hoard them. That is how I came to have several months of pedicures last spring: because I needed to use up a gift card I'd gotten before it expired. It had been a present for my baby shower. In 2013. See? Gift card hoarder. It can really backfire, though, so I'm trying to be better about it. Once, my husband got me a gift certificate for a massage. And I saved and saved it and saved it, waiting for the best possible time to use it… And the spa went out of business. Let that be a lesson to gift card hoarders everywhere!
- The Collector's Apprentice wasn't the only book I bought with my years-old gift card. I spent the whole thing. I bought some writerly type books and some newish fiction I've been wanting to read and some classics that I've been meaning to read for a long time. And now my side table/personal library looks a little… overburdened. I mean, it's been a good long while since it's been even nearly this bad. I don't normally organize the books that way – they don't fit. Usually the spines are facing the bed. Not that I read through them every night and select one based on the available titles. No, I read no more than two or three at a time like a normal person.
- Hiding behind my book stacks are a variety of chapstick and hand lotion (and pillow spray, which I love). My hands are HATING this weather. My entire skin, in fact, has decided to stage a rebellion. I have big painful spots on each arm, my legs are covered in a scaly, itchy rash, my face has alternated between auditioning for role of Teenage Acne and becoming so dry it peels off. It's really lovely. My hands are the easiest to deal with. I have purchased a wide variety of hand lotions with oddly aggressive labels like Intensive Healing and Ultra-Dry Skin Relief and Uber Nourishing Dry-Guard Skin Milk. I have stashed lotion everywhere: my nightstand, my bathroom, Carla's bathroom, the kitchen, my purse, my car. My cuticles are still peeling, but none of my knuckles are cracked OR bleeding, so I think I'm winning.
- Some of those books have been on my nightstand for a couple of years. The upside-down Louise Erdrich book, LaRose, has been there for at least two. She's an exceptional author and the book is very well done, but it's so achingly sad I can't get more than halfway through it before I need to take a break… and then by the time I can gear myself up to pick it up again, I need to start over from the beginning. Lather, rinse, repeat. My husband keeps asking if he can go file it (he LOVES to put books on our bookshelves) but I can't bring myself to give up on it. Some of the books are just laziness on my part. My husband will be happy to know he can shelve the Tana French book (very good, as per usual, but not my favorite of her works) and I need to return the Jodi Picoult book and The Association of Small Bombs and The Master Butcher's Singing Club to their original owners. (I read none of them but have had each of them for well over a year now, so it's time they went home.)
- Today is the last day Carla can sell Girl Scout Cookies. Since the weather has warmed up a bit, I think we'll head out to the last few neighbors' houses we haven't hit yet. I am so glad this portion of Girl Scouts is over because I HATE IT. My parents never let me sell things when I was a kid. For one thing, my nearest neighbor was two miles away. For another, they were both "the boss" at their respective offices and felt like it wasn't cool to ask their employees to buy shit from their kid. I remember distinctly a standoff between my mom and some hapless teacher who was trying to insist that I had to sell whatever scheme they were in the midst of: citrus fruit for choir, magazine sales for lord knows what reason (something to do with "weebles," although I'm not sure how it benefited the school, exactly). My mom said no, the teacher said it was mandatory (how??? my memory isn't great so I am probably misremembering) and so my mom wrote a check. And the teacher was sullen about it – the money was only part of the point, I think – but that was that. The end of my career as a salesgirl. This is all to say that I have a deep-rooted discomfort with selling stuff. And yes, I KNOW people love Girl Scout Cookies, and I KNOW this is teaching Carla valuable skills like counting money and interacting with people and memorizing a little sales script and facing rejection and yada yada yada but I HATE IT WITH THE FIRE OF A THOUSAND SUNS.
- Along with most of the country, Carla's school was closed this week due to cold, so we stayed home and entertained ourselves. By far the most entertaining thing that happened was that an enormous unfamiliar bird stationed himself on top of Carla's swingset for a good hour or so. I took many pictures of the bird, from many different windows, with two separate cameras. Carla and I pored over our Birds of State book, trying to pinpoint what it was. I narrowed it down to a Cooper's Hawk or a Broad-winged Hawk; Carla insisted it was an owl of some sort, although I think we can all (except Carla) agree that it does not have an owl face. I took a very boring video of our backyard squirrel, Howard, trying to get close to the bird, and the bird puffing up its wings. I mean, what was Howard thinking? Was he trying to scare the bird off of what he must consider to be HIS swingset? Was he just getting a better look? Did he want to snuggle? But I'm pretty sure a bird that size wouldn't hesitate to eat Howard for Thanksgiving dinner, so I was pretty relieved that Howard gave up after the bird flapped at him.
- Purely because it's February, and not because I have anything at all to report, I shall update you on my goals/aspirations for the year. In short, I am not doing well. I have been writing my book, but not as often as I should. My "be in bed by 10:30" goal has been a laughable failure. Last night, for no reason whatsoever, I stayed up until 12:15 am watching Child 44, which wasn't even particularly good. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't stay up past midnight good. And yet. Okay, I just continued listing all the ways I am failing at my goals and that way madness and tearful potato chip eating lies, so I erased it. One goal I haveaccomplished is to buy new underwear. I was at Nordstrom and there was a sale rack of underpinnings and I figured, I can spend $4 a pair on some new underwear! So I collected two pairs in my size and then found a whole big pile of Natori underpants in nice, bright, pretty colors. And they were on sale for $10.87 a pair, which is steep. But a salesperson happened to walk past and she said, "Those are our bestsellers. Everybody loves them." So I figured a) Natori is the brand of bra I like best, maybe the underthings will be just as good and b) who am I to go against the undergarment grain? The only problem was that these fancy drawers were one size fits all. I asked the salesperson and she ASSURED ME that they really were magical and fit ALL SIZES. I was deeply suspicious, but wanted to try them – and also felt like it was a bit of a challenge, right? I mean, I've got a generous backyard, so if these lawn covers were truly going to be one-size-fits-all, then they had their work cut out for them. Well, I did try them on and they did fit… but I have yet to take the tags off and wash everything and wear them out and about. I will tell you that the Natori knickers rang up at $3.97 apiece, so I feel like even if they provide mere cautionary fodder for this blog, they were worth the price.
- Lately, whenever I can't find my phone, it's because Carla has swiped it to take photos. She has her own camera – this Vtech Kidizoom camera which is actually quite cool – but the memory card fills up quickly. And I understand why, because I find evidence of her voluminous photography in my phone's photo stream.
- I really can't believe it's February. Despite the lingering cold, it feels like winter is on its way out. February is so short and then it's March and spring and warmer temperatures. Sitting here in my cozy house with the promise of not just above-zero but above-freezing temperatures later today and all weekend, it is easy to feel like winter is going fast. Of course, I can say that because it's my favorite season – and I LOVE snow, in particular. As part of my More Weekend Adventures goal, we went sledding a couple of weeks ago. It was Carla's first time and I think she had a blast. I had to buy a sled, and I got a $9.99 sled from Target. It lasted for an hour before it sprung a big hole. Fortunately, it was quite cold so we were all ready to exchange sledding for hot chocolate, but it was disappointing nonetheless. I don't know if we misused it – my husband and I did go down with Carla a couple of times; not all three of us, but one parent with the kid – or if the terrain, which seemed nice a deeply snow covered, was somehow rougher than it seemed… but it seems to me that even a $9.99 sled should last for longer than an hour. I wanted to return it, but my husband says it's not worth it. Who knows if we'll even get the combination of Good Snow and Survivable Temperatures again this season? And we did use it. Maybe we already got our $9.99 worth of sledding out of it. I'm new at this.
Happy weekend, Internet!

Anthropomorphic Clay Figurines of the Jomon Period of Japan
Koji Mizoguchi
This chapter charts the trajectory of change of Jomon period clay anthropomorphic figurines in the Japanese archipelago. The earliest specimens embodied the perception of the body and female bodily experiences rather than accurately representing the body itself. Emphasis gradually shifted from the material embodiment of unmediated bodily perception and experiences to the visual representation of the body. Through this process, the subject of the representation expanded from the female body to the bodies of various categories of being, including animals and fantastic/supernatural beings, and the figurines came to embody the mutual transformability. These beings were networked to form an 'animistic' cosmology whose successful reproduction was metaphorically linked to that of human life and community. The decline of the symbolic role of the female reproductive faculty as the universal referent in the prayer for communal well-being led to the end of the Jomon clay anthropomorphic figurines.
Bronze Age Mongolia
Jean-Luc Houle
This article discusses the Bronze Age in Mongolia, a period when pastoralism, mobility, and interaction between regional communities increased dramatically. It also corresponds to the heyday of monumental construction and to the development of societal complexity in this region. After briefly discussing the local Bronze Age chronology, the discussion then turns to the topic of the transition to animal husbandry and to the development of mobile, equestrian pastoralism in particular—a phenomenon that seems to have taken place during the Late Bronze Age. Following this, I examine the monumental landscape as well as what is known from "settlements" before discussing the nature of Late Bronze Age social organization and societal complexity. The article ends with a brief exposé on bronze metallurgy before highlighting what are thought to be the critical issues that continue to challenge research on the Bronze Age in the region.
Introduction of domestic animals to the Japanese archipelago
Hitomi Hongo
Zooarchaeological and molecular biological studies indicate that all domestic animals found in Japan were introduced and local domestication of wild boar and wolf is unlikely. Timing of introduction and husbandry practice for dog, pig, horse, cattle, and chicken are discussed. These main domestic species were introduced from the Chinese continent in prehistoric times, probably via the Korean peninsula. Meat of domestic animals and dairy products were not a major part of the diet until the twentieth century ad, partly because of the Buddhist prohibition of the consumption of animal meat. Zooarchaeological data from the Yayoi and Kofun period sites as well as the historical era have been gradually accumulating, helping the interpretation of textual records as well as supplementing them.
Post-Pleistocene Transformations of Hunter-Gatherers in East Asia: The Jomon and Chulmun
Junko Habu
This article reviews recent advances in the field of hunter-gatherer archaeology in Japan and Korea. It concentrates on issues that are key to understanding the importance of east Asian data in world hunter-gatherer archaeology and anthropology. Emphases are on issues that are relevant to recent discussion in the field of historical ecology, including long-term sustainability, collapses and subsequent recoveries of human socio-economic systems, human impacts on the biosphere, and the examination of processes operating on temporal scales of varying duration. The article first presents the chronological framework and regional/temporal variability of two post-Pleistocene hunter-gatherer cultures—Jomon and Chulmun. It then reviews new data on post-Pleistocene socio-economic transformations of these hunter-gatherers in relation to changing environmental conditions. Cases presented here indicate that overspecialization among hunter-gatherers can contribute to a rapid decline or a seeming 'collapse' in their socio-economic systems, followed by a shift to a new subsistence strategy among reduced populations.
Prehistoric Figurines in China
Sascha Priewe
In early China there was no widespread tradition of making figurines until about the mid-first millennium bc when human figurines started to be placed in burials to accompany the deceased into the afterlife. In prior millennia only pockets of China had seen the emergence of figurines, but these appeared to be short-lived phenomena clearly rooted and linked to local and regional cultures. The overall paucity of three-dimensional imagery and relative rarity of human representations both in two and three dimensions meant that China does not feature in surveys of early figurines. This chapter surveys and discusses selected appearance of figurines of the Neolithic and Bronze Age, with an emphasis on the Hongshan Culture in the northeast, the Yellow River and the Shijiahe Culture along the middle Yangtze.

Classrooms ... have come under scrutiny - again - in Kansas' seesawing battle between left and right over the teaching of evolution.I think that there are several very powerful emotional and conflicting issues here. First science has been oversold as being capable of explaining the Truth (with a capital 'T'). Evolution is a theory. I think that it is an excellent theory in that it logically and consistently provides a plausible explanation for the available empirical evidence. I look around at biological diversity in the world today and I say to myself, "yup, I could believe that evolution is responsible for part or all of it." What's important to understand is that I say "could believe" as opposed to "do believe". The reason I don't "believe" in evolution is that it isn't a belief system. It's a theory. There is no point in believing or having faith that evolution actually describes how the current biosphere came to be.
The battle could heat up over the coming weeks, with Kansas' State Board of Education expected to revise its science standards in June.
In 1999, the board deleted most references to evolution in the standards, bringing international ridicule and wisecracks from the late-night comedians. Elections the next year made the board less conservative, resulting in the current standards describing evolution as a key concept for students to learn.
Last year's elections gave conservatives a majority again, 6-4. A subcommittee plans six days of hearings in May, and advocates of intelligent design plan to put nearly two dozen witnesses on the stand to critique evolution.
National and state science organizations plan to boycott the hearings, contending they are going to be rigged in favor of intelligent design.
Instead of science being presented as "the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena", it has been presented as a belief system. It has been presented almost as a pseudo-religious faith. Scientists have acted like high priests issuing edicts about what everybody should believe to be the Truth. This arrogance has really annoyed a lot of people and the battle over evolution in Kansas is the resulting backlash.
A second problem is that parents get really tired of others deciding what their children should be taught. I have absolutely no patience for outsiders coming in and telling me what my children should be taught. Fortunately, we've been able to enroll our children in schools that provide learning environments that we enthusiastically endorse. But I can certainly understand the feelings of the parents in Kansas if they don't want their children taught Evolution, at least from the "belief system" perspective.
I'm saddened by this, because Evolution is a powerful concept in computer science (called genetic algorithms). We use it in our work in robotics. Biological evolution is a nice, intuitive way to introduce the concept. Too bad it was oversold.

KACE Product Support Question
How to exclude an application patch from updating using K1000
I have created an smart label with the below 4 feilds but want to add two more feilds to exclude updates to citrix and java patches. But as you only have 4 feilds and I can't write in sql query how can I stop updates to citrix and java application patches in my smart label?
- Win 7 SP1 x64
- Critical
- Active
All Answers
You can have more than 4 lines with the 5.5 release of K1000. Have you upgraded to that?
As for the exclusions, here's a sample that I did to exclude Microsoft, Mozilla, McAffe, Novell, Trend Micro and Ctrix patches. You don't need to be a SQL expert to modify your existing smart label. Play around with it using my example as a template.
select UID from KBSYS.PATCHLINK_PATCH where ( KBSYS.PATCHLINK_PATCH.VENDOR not rlike '(microsoft|novell|mcafee|trend micro|mozilla|citrix)')
Hi Rockhead thanks for the reply I am using version 5.5.90545 for K1000. Some smart labels allow you to create more than 4 line but a patch smart label is limited to 4 lines, if there is a way to increase the number of lines please let me know?
My smart label seems slighlty different (see below) its using %% where yours uses () I will test both.
AND KBSYS.PATCHLINK_PATCH.TITLE not like '%citrix%')
I didn't realize the patch smart label was still limited. As for the smart label itself, in my case I used pipes to separate the vendors.
I know you think they would have increased the number by now, thank for your comments. The Pipes will go the job.

How about living by the law of Moses?
Q. While on Facebook recently, I happened upon a childhood friend who describes herself as a "born again, Spirit filled, Torah observant, believer in Yeshua (Jesus)."
Have you ever heard of this? Doesn't this seem to disregard the new covenant?
I can't help be intrigued, because I have such love and admiration for the Jewish people, and would dearly love to be "one of them" myself…. but I don't know how you can have it both ways. It seems that one observing the Torah couldn't possibly embrace grace and forgiveness through faith. But clearly my old friend believes in Jesus. I'm so confused… can you please help me unravel this?
A. Being a Torah observant Christian could be something of a contradiction. It all comes down to where your friend believes her salvation comes from. If she believes she's saved by grace through faith and observes the law solely to express her gratitude that's one thing. But if she believes her salvation is even partly earned or maintained through her observance of the law then there's a problem with her theology. After all grace plus work equals work.
Any work we do to supplement what the Lord did for us demonstrates our lack of faith in His work and violates the most basic tenet of Christianity. It's by grace we are saved through faith. Not by works lest any should boast. (Ephes. 2:8-9)

"Thanks to the team at Fairway! We needed 14 smaller desks fast and didn't know what to do with the bigger old ones. Problem solved on one visit and the best price from a local supplier. ......" Simon in Taunton
Buy some real office furniture bargains - some furniture is so good, it looks new!
Examples of recycled office furniture in our Bridgwater Showrooms
Radial Desks £65 Straights and waves from £45 Chairs from£8
and if you have used furniture for disposal - let us recycle it for you
What is the office furniture recycling project?
We clear out old and unused items of office furniture like desks, chairs and filing cabinets. Often when delivering new. A van can deliver your new office furniture and instead of returning empty - we take away the old. It helps you and the environment. Local delivery and collection to Bridgwater, Taunton, Exeter, Yeovil, Street, Shepton Mallet, Weston. National service available.
We refurbish and sell anything that can be used again – the purest form of recycling. Profit made here goes to our charities. www.chsw.org.uk
We separate and stream for recycling any items that are at the end of their useful life and try to keep this to a minimum and save land fill. This year we recycled over 88% of old furniture.
We have our own dedicated warehouse and workshop area to do this. Recycled Office Furniture Bargains always available.
Are you a charity and need some office furniture?
– ask us about our donation scheme
Helping the Environment
In the early part of 2009 we realised that our success in supplying whole floors of new furniture to large organisations, including local authorities, left a growing problem of disposing of the old furniture. Much of it was being sent to landfill and we found this unacceptable. We saw it as part of the responsibility of supplying new furniture to make better provision for removing and recycling office furniture in a much more environmentally friendly way.
We set about expanding to a 7000 sq ft facility from which we can offer the service.
We have a waste carriers licience
You get a collection certificate proving responsible disposal.
What does it cost?
When you are purchasing new office furniture, we will endeavour to offer this service at no charge but this will depend on a survey of your old furniture.
There may be a charge for recycling office furniture depending on what it is and how much you have. Each job is assessed individually and you will need to contact us for a quote. Some items can be collected free of charge, if they can be refurbished and re-used.
What furniture can be recycled?
Items we may be able to recycle for no charge when delivering new.
Modern Office Desks and Storage Units in lighter wood finishes (oak, beech, maple)
Working Steel and Wooden Filing Cabinets and Cupboards
Modern Reception Units
Better quality working Office Chairs and Visitor Seating
Items for which there may be a small charge (£5 to £15 per item)
Older dark wood veneer desks (Mahogany, Grey or Black finish)

His teams are notorious for excellence in the classroom. Mark Beyers has accomplished a lot in 19 years as a head coach, and with six of the top seven returning from last year's squad and one of the top newcomers in the nation, the Rebels hope to take it to another level in 2018.
Eleven SEC teams ended the 2017 season in the top 25 and 13 of the 14 made the NCAA Tournament, including the Rebels, who earned their ninth straight bid and advanced to the second round.

The 18 wins are the most since the 1999 team posted 21. The Rebels also advanced to the National Team Indoor Final 16 for the first time since 2000.

During his 21 years of coaching collegiate tennis as an assistant and head coach, Beyers has coached 24 All-Americans, 47 ITA Scholar-Athletes and 18 teams that have received the ITA All-Academic Team Award.
As a collegiate player at Armstrong Atlantic State, Beyers earned four letters, posted a 99-21 record and led his team to a national ranking of No. 4. He earned All-America honors twice in doubles and singles.
Beyers received a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Armstrong Atlantic State in 1991. After graduating, Beyers enjoyed a brief professional career on the satellite tour before returning to his alma mater to coach the women's team.
In 1998, Beyers became the youngest person ever to be inducted into the Armstrong Atlantic State Athletic Hall of Fame. This past fall he was selected as one of 75 notable alumni for Armstrong Atlantic University's 75th anniversary.
In July of 2005, Beyers married the former Lauren Dorcheus. The couple resides in Oxford.
Grant Roberts is in his first year as assistant coach. Roberts came to Oxford from Colorado, where he was the assistant coach for the women's program.
Roberts replaced Rebel All-American Robbye Poole, who left to work with former WTA world No. 5 Genie Bouchard.
"We are extremely excited to have Grant Roberts join our staff," Beyers said.
"Having both played and coached in the SEC, Grant understands what it takes to compete with the top programs in the country. Grant played for and learned from some of the top coaches in the country, Coach Dennis Emery and Coach Cedric Kauffmann at Kentucky. Grant is a very hard worker and passionate recruiter, and will undoubtedly help this program in all areas."
Prior to his position at Colorado, Roberts served as the volunteer assistant coach for the men's team at the University of Kentucky for three years.
He helped the Wildcats reach the semifinals of the NCAA Tournament in 2014 where the team finished 13th overall in the country. Roberts worked with ITA Ohio Valley Region Player to Watch, William Bushamuka who became a first-team All-SEC selection and a first team All-American in 2017. Roberts also worked with SEC Co-Freshman of the Year, Ryotaro Matsumura in 2016. Matsumura also earned ITA Ohio Valley Region Rookie of the Year honors and was named to the All-SEC second team.
"I am extremely excited to be here at Ole Miss, Roberts said." "Since I graduated from Kentucky my goal has always been to coach in the SEC, and I couldn't imagine being in a better situation here. I can't wait to hit the ground running this weekend!"
Roberts was a standout player at Kentucky. Despite battling injuries, he helped lead the Wildcats to the 2012 SEC Championship and the NCAA Sweet 16 three times, including the quarterfinals in 2010. Roberts is Kentucky's all-time leader in matches clinched.
In the classroom, Roberts was named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll three straight years.
Roberts earned his bachelor's degree in communications at the University of Kentucky in 2014.

I've spoken about the spoken word poet Shane Koyczan once before in my blog. For a fiction analysis segment, I showed his poem A Letter To Remind Myself Who I Am. I'm listening to this poem as I write this, because starting content this week has been difficult. I owe myself this though, so I've got to keep writing. Shane Koyczan, a poet I've been listening to for at least five years, reminds me to cling to my craft. No matter the payout, it will be worth it. Choosing from his top 3 works is difficult, but I'm going to give it a shot here. The basis of this list are ones that I feel are most inspiring to myself and will have an impact on those I suggest it to.
Instructions For A Bad Day
The motivational lines of Instructions For A Bad Day deserve to be legendary. They've motivated me in times of depression and I wouldn't be writing now if it wasn't for that.
"Scrape the grey sky clean. Realize every dark cloud is a smoke screen meant to blind us from the truth, and the truth is whether we see them or not — the sun and moon are still there and always there is light"
"So be a mirror reflecting yourself back, and remembering times when you thought all of this was too hard and you'd never make it through. Remember the times you could have pressed quit, but you hit continue,"
Move Pen Move
I use this video in particular because it couples Move Pen Move with Sonnet 10 (Death Be Not Proud) by John Donne. The marriage of these two poems proves utterly heart-wrenching and grief inducing. Despite all its sadness, I connect with a certain aspect of this poem. It is in the lines following lines that this poem earns the spot of top 3, "And all I could say is if I could I would write you some way out of this, but my gift is useless. And you said, 'No. Write me a poem to make me happy.' So I write." Writers are in a perplexing way, equally useless and entirely vital. We can't cure disease or ease pain, but with well-trained words, we can bring forth a bit of happiness.
To This Day
This poem claims to be for both the bullied and the beautiful. In truth, it is one part haunting, and one part beauty. For those who've ever been bullied, or who have ever felt on the outside of the world as it passed by, this is for you.
Every school was a big top circus tent
And the pecking order went
From acrobats to lion tamers
From clowns to carnies
All of these were miles ahead of who we were
We were freaks
Lobster claw boys and bearded ladies
Juggling depression and loneliness playing solitaire spin the bottle
Trying to kiss the wounded parts of ourselves and heal
But at night
While the others slept
We kept walking the tightrope
For this and much more I own my persistence as a writer to Shane Koyczan. I want to hear about what/who inspires you? What gets you out of bed and practicing your craft?

I got back to Cusco this afternoon but my wonderful New Zealand holiday is still very fresh in my mind, especially as I've just been looking at all my photos. Here are my images for week three ... and I cheated a little by adding a couple of extras.
366/105 April 14, 2012
Though I didn't actually take this one but appear in it instead, I did take others of the same tree and I liked how my green tshirt makes me kind of blend in. And what a tree! It's at the bottom of my friend Rosie's garden in Titirangi (in
) and is a kauri tree. This one may
well be as much as 1000 years old, judging by its size. Just magnificent! Auckland, New
366/106 April 15, 2012
Taken inside
yesterday ... looking at the lovely marble bust, and at the old part of gallery
building and at the lovely trees in Albert Park beyond. The gallery currently
has a splendid exhibition entitled From
Degas to Dali which I enjoyed with a couple of friends. It was the first
time I had seen the new extension to the gallery, which is a magnificent
building in itself. Auckland Art Gallery
366/107 April 16, 2012
This is a flower from the metrosideros family, of which 12 are endemic to
The most common here is the pohutukawa, known informally as the New Zealand
Christmas tree as it produces its brilliant display of red flowers (made up of
a mass of stamens) at Christmas time. This miniature variety is flowering now
and provides a wonderfully colourful display. New Zealand
366/108 April 17, 2012
The path around the Community Centre in Titirangi is lined with tiles made by local school children and designed to show aspects of life in the village. This is a good example of Titirangi, a beautiful tree-lined suburb on the shores of the Manukau harbour. The area has long been home to artists and other creative people, so these children probably have creativity programmed into their genes.
366/109 April 18, 2012
I went out for a long long walk this afternoon, partly through the tree-lined streets of Titirangi and partly around the bays that line the Manukau harbour. This was my view at about 3.30pm, and from here I walked straight ahead then turned left, crunching over oyster shells, sliding over muddy ancient lava flows and checking out rock pools. Bliss!

Another day of shell crunching today - I only have one full day of holiday left and it's busy with more friend catch-ups, so I was determined to hit the beach one last time today. I love the feel of the sand between my toes, and the smell of the salty sea, and beachcombing along the high-tide line. Pure delight!
This old tree has obviously seen better days, with barnacles and other beasties growing on it, but what wonderfully tangled roots it has.

On the last day of my holiday in
I think it's appropriate to highlight the city's most well-known building, the
Skytower, reflected here in another of the city's skyscrapers. At 328 metres,
it's the tallest man-made structure in the Southern Hemisphere and, from the
viewing platforms, you get breathtaking views for up to 80 kilometres in every
direction. You can go up it, eat in it, and jump off it – and, I don't mean
anything suicidal by that. It's one for the adrenalin junkies – it's called
Skyjump and basically you're attached to a wire, then lowered off the side,
very fast, 192m straight down. Not for me! Auckland

I couldn't resist one last beach picture before I left
Zealand and I thought this was so cute, with the kids'
scooter and trike parked by a post at . French Bay
366/113 April 22, 2012
And I just had to add one more
photo before I left the country.
This is the Percival Gull, the tiny plane that Jean Batten flew solo from New
Zealand England to in 1936. It's on
display at Auckland International airport and seems particularly appropriate as
this was the beginning of 2 days spent flying half way across the world, from New Zealand Auckland back to Cusco,
though obviously in much bigger planes!

From data manipulation/cleansing and workflow automation to desktop software and game development, Python is the language of choice for many when it comes to these use cases, as well as countless others. For tech entrepreneurs, coding skills are optional—but if knowing enough to do some damage is your style, then this Swiss Army Knife of programming languages can't be beat.
Companies like Instagram, Reddit, Pinterest, and YouTube have chosen to use Python as their language of choice for a myriad of reasons—here are 11 of the top reasons why every tech entrepreneur should learn it.
11. Python is a general purpose language suitable for creating both basic tools and complex enterprise applications.
Python is an efficient language for rudimentary purposes like creating UNIX command line tools—it can also be used to developer large-scale enterprise applications. Check out this list of notable Python success stories from the Python Foundation.
10. Python ideal for building prototypes and/or minimum viable products (MVPs).
Few languages beat Python for getting projects off the ground quickly. Because the language is simple to read and work with, many tech startup founders find it ideal for prototyping and building proof-of-concepts.
9. You can't beat Python for big data management.
Chances are your social and/or mobile offering will incorporate big data and require the processing of large volumes of information. Python is an exceptional language for data mining and big data management, commonly used in conjunction with MongoDB and Hadoop.
8. Python is a simple to learn with no complex requirements.
Python was designed from the ground up for novices. It requires fewer lines of code for basic tasks—3-5 times shorter than Java, and 5-10 times shorter than C++—and eliminates cumbersome brackets and variable declarations, using white spaces and common expressions instead.
7. Python is easy to read and understand.
As a tech startup entrepreneur, you may or may not decide to roll your sleeves up and start coding. Whatever the case may be, readability will allow you to quickly extract meaning from the codebase on-the-fly, without knowing the specifics.
6. Python is fun to learn and use.
Still cringing at the thought of your high school or college Java courses? Out of all the languages, Python comes the closest to being enjoyable to learn and use—even for technophobes.
5. Python is free—and always will be.
Python and its expansive set of supporting modules, tools, and libraries are completely free. Popular integrated development environments (IDEs) such as Pydev with Eclipse, PTVS, and Spyder Python are also available for free download.
4. Python is the perfect starter language for your programming toolkit.
Python is ideal for building rudimentary programming skills before moving on to more difficult languages. Like C++/C# and Ruby, the language is object-oriented with all the common features of the paradigm.
3. Adopting Python makes it easier to hire qualified talent.
Python is highly popular in academia and is usually taught at the college/university level. This makes it one of the best languages to hire for when seeking qualified engineering candidates.
2. The largest internet company in the world is a Python shop.
Python is Google's preferred language and many of the company's offerings and tools were developed with it in mind. For startups using/integrating with Google Apps and Google's cloud services, Python is a safe bet for optimal integration capabilities.
1. A great community and expansive following of supporters.
Few open source communities are as devoted and expansive as Python's. Millions of developers and supports work on a daily basis to improve the language's features and core functionality—additionally, support with a variety of issues can be easily found online.
These are just a few reasons why tech entrepreneurs in particular will benefit from learning the Python programming language. Check out our Python Crash Course to master the basics of the language today, in less than a day.

The Lillen Collection of ready-to-wear bridal and evening fashion was launched just a couple of years ago in Vancouver, by a pair of women who put their heart and soul into each of their designs. We have been hearing nothing but enthusiast comments about their work, so we 've decided to take a closer look. If you're still looking for your perfect wedding dress, we think you should take a closer look too!
Every year, the designers (Elena and Liliya) create two collections: Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. Each collection is comprised of a total of 10-14 dresses: 5-6 bridal gowns, 2-3 evening gowns (for mother of the bride/groom) and 5-6 cocktail dresses (for bridesmaids).
For Fall 2010, the collection includes this gorgeous Rafaela strapless gown (#551). This dress features French Chantilly lace and a corset bodice embellished with sparkling Swarovski crystals and freshwater pearls. The circle floor skirt is highlighted with laser-cut flowers.
To maintain their high quality standards and luxurious appeal, Lillen only uses silk fabrics as silk organza, duppioni, chiffon, duchesse satin and taffeta. Their gowns are all about the details with laser-cut fabric flowers, handmade appliqués, freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystal embellishments.
For a completely different look, the Sasha off-shoulder gown (#558) is a beautiful choice. Created from silk dupioni, this dress features an asymmetrically draped bodice and floral accents.
"The Lillen collection is a very contemporary wedding gown collection. Their silhouettes are classic but the finishing is contemporary - very chic and elegant. Customers love the fit, the lightweight and comfortable feeling and the glamourous styling...the dresses sell very well!".. ~ Colleen Karas, Bisou Bridal
Also from the Fall 2010 collection, the Michaela v-neck gown (#554) is a sophisticated option. This wedding dress features laser-cut flower details, a deep V-back and chapel train.
At Lillen, they are also willing to customize almost any dress to please the bride. For example, they can lower the back, add more flowers, make a longer train or convert a strapless gown to off-the-shoulder. Lillen offers more than 200 colors of silk fabric and have had customers order everything from a light purple wedding dress to a China red bridal gown.
Oftentimes a wedding dress just needs one eye-catching detail to make it memorable. With the Roxana gown (#553), it's definitely the neckline. This silk dupioni dress offers a unique split neckline and gorgeous draping. This dress would be suitable for any type of wedding from the church to an outdoor affair.
Sometimes simple is better. The Ramona gown (#555) isn't flashy but it's definitely beautiful. This strapless dress is created from Italian poly taffeta with French lace accents.
If you are looking for short dresses for your bridesmaids, consider the Riana strapless cocktail dress (#562). This beautiful piece features a ruched bodice with flower and ruffle accents. This dress is one that your bridesmaids will be proud to wear long after your wedding day.
These are a few representative designs in the current Lillen collection. To see the rest of the line, visit lillencollection.com.
Liliya was involved in fashion from very young age as she started designing clothes for herself and her younger sister when she was graduating elementary school. She was taught how to sew by her grandmother, who had her own tailor shop. Through helping her grandma, Liliya learned about fabrics, how to create a perfect fit and the importance of customer satisfaction. Her formal training included five years in the Academy of Art, four years at a fashion college and a course in couture draping, which helped her to develop a good sense of proportion and color.
Shortly after moving to Vancouver in 1997, Liliya started to work in the fashion industry. She has international experience working in Ukraine, Israel, Canada and the United States, with customers such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Barney's New York and many more.
Elena grew up between the sewing machines, podiums and fit meetings. Her mother was designer at House of Fashion in Tallinn, Estonia and Elena, from age five, was a fit model for children's clothes. During high school, she had a part time job helping her mother choosing fabrics, cutting, fitting and preparing for fashion shows. Elena had no doubt about her future education and career. She has a Master's degree from St. Petersburg State University of Technology and Design, specializing in engineering in the garment industry, and international experience working in Estonia, Finland, Israel, China, Canada and the United States.
Luckily for the rest of us, the two met each other in Canada in 2006. Elena had just graduated "Success" business school and was very impressed by Liliya's portfolio from fashion design and couture draping college. Both of them were passionate about having own business and creating their own collection. In September 2007, they took a trip to New York to meet the fashion world in search for fabric suppliers.
In 2008, Elena and Liliya launched their own company by founding the Lillen label and presenting their first collection: Spring 2009. The collection was a huge hit and was picked up immediately and exclussively by Bisou Bridal, arguably one of the 2-3 most prestigious and upscale bridal boutiques in Vancouver.
Bridal: $1,500-$2,300
Evening: $600-$2,300
Cocktail: $600-$900

Honda built their reputation on reliable cars that are great on fuel, easy to drive and even easier to maintain. Premier Auto Service knows this last part to certainly be true. We have been doing Honda repair work for several years now, that experience has taught us that a Honda is a car you can rely on. Yes, regular maintenance, minor repairs and routine services still have to be done, but nothing ever seems to go wrong with a Honda. And certainly nothing ever goes wrong that we can't repair!
The technicians at Premier Auto Service have been doing Honda repair work since our San Ramon shop first opened. We have told them time and time again, the best tool in our shop is their experience! We tried telling them that the best Honda repair tool we have is them, but one of them chimed in 'so we're all a bunch of tools?' We decided to change our phrasing! All kidding aside, our team of Honda repair technicians are absolute professionals who have handled repairs to every model of Honda that they have produced over the years:
As well as many past models that are not currently in production. You may say that our experience with past models makes us even better at repairing the newer models, but then the technicians would get offended that we're ignoring the fact they do their homework on the new models! They're well trained, qualified and able to repair any model and any year of Honda. Call our support staff in San Ramon to book your Honda repair job with Premier Auto Service today!

To dream of a crater represents lingering reminder of something bad that happened. Danger or disaster from your past that is impossible to forget. It may also reflect the impact of a relationship or conflict that has never been recovered from.
Positively, a crater may reflect a standing reminder of a big impact you made in your career, community, or someone else's life.

What does it mean when your refrigerator keeps running?
Ryan McVay/Photodisc/Getty Images
A refrigerator that functions properly should run through cycles where the compressor runs and shuts off in order to keep the interior of the fridge at a stable temperature. There are many reasons why a refrigerator may run constantly. Some causes, like a high thermostat setting, are easily fixed.
Other problems may require a qualified professional to repair.
New Refrigerator
New refrigerators may run constantly when you first turn them on. It can take up to 24 hours before the temperature is cool enough inside your fridge. Empty refrigerators may take longer to achieve a stable interior temperature. If there is very little in the fridge and the door is opened and closed, the temperature will fluctuate. Fill the refrigerator at least half full to help keep an even temperature inside.
Door Problems
If the door sags or has a damaged gasket, then the warmer air outside may be getting inside your fridge, causing the interior temperature to increase. Frequently opening and closing the door, or leaving it open for long periods can also cause the refrigerator to keep running for long periods. This is a common problem in hot, humid weather.
The thermostat turns your refrigerator's compressor on and off. The compressor, when switched on, runs until the temperature inside is lower than the thermostat setting, and then it stops. When the temperature gets higher than the thermostat setting, the compressor is switched on again. If the thermostat is not working properly, your compressor may run constantly. The thermostat may also be set too high, forcing the refrigerator to run the compressor to maintain the cooler temperature. Try lowering the temperature. If this stops the compressor from running, then you had the thermostat set too high. If it does not, you may need a new thermostat.
Refrigerant Leak
If the thermostat is working properly but your fridge still runs constantly, the problem may be caused by refrigerant leaking into the sealed system. Legally, only an EPA certified technician can fix this problem. If you attempt to fix it yourself, you may permanently damage your refrigerator and void the warranty.
Condenser Coils
The condenser coils, typically located on the back of the refrigerator, require room to move the heat away from the refrigerator. If they are dirty or too close to a wall, they will not be able to radiate heat away, and this can cause the refrigerator to warm up and run more often to cool it down. Move your fridge away from wall and make sure there is space on all sides to allow for air to pass through. If the coils are dusty or dirty, clean this away.
Broken Light Switch
Check the light switch, typically found on the door of your fridge. Push the switch in to ensure the light is shutting off when you close it. If the light does not turn off, it can warm the interior of the fridge and cause it to run in order to reach the thermostat setting temperature. If it is not shutting off, you may have to replace the switch.

Apple iWatch rumors have Intel developing the processors for the upcoming Apple Smartwatch design that will supposedly be released in 2013. The iWatch is rumored to begin production sometime in the first half of 2013 but some think the idea that Intel is producing the processor is too far-fetched.
SmartWatches have just begun becoming available this past year. As previously reported by The Inquisitr, Sony already has a smartwatch that connects to an Android smartphone via Bluetooth. But these smart watches are not designed to be self-contained devices that miniaturize and replace your iPhone like some sort of Dick Tracy device.
SmartWatches like the upcoming Apple iWatch are intended to supplement the functionality of other iDevices like an iPhone or iPad. Instead of being as powerful as an iPhone, or even a Nano, the iWatch would connect to other devices using low-power Bluetooth 4.0. The idea is that the iWatch is simply an extended interface that "allows you to do things like read a text message or control music directly from your wrist without having to pull out your device."
The watch face will feature ITO-coated glass, but otherwise the biggest rumor is that Intel will produce the processor. TechSpot believes this rumor is unlikely to be true:
"The confusing part of this rumor, however, is Intel's involvement. Apple has been keen on decreasing dependence on outside help as of late, especially with regards to processor development. An iWatch wouldn't need a powerful processor as CPU-intensive tasks could be remotely performed on the paired device instead."
Mobile Geeks is a German website but I've attempted to translate what they believe will be the specifications for the upcoming Apple iWatch:
"We can only speculate about the specifications of the Apple SmartWatch at this current time, but our insider sources in Asia speak of a 1.5-inch RiTdisplay with OLED technology. Apple itself has not officially announced specifications yet and are not expected to provide more info – Cupertino keeps such information close to its chest until launch day. If we look at the history of the recent Apple iDevices we know, however, that there is always information leaks somewhere in the production chain. So, historically, we know almost all the specifications and design of the new device before the official Apple presentation. Hopefully, this is also the case again this time, and we may lean quickly what specifications we have to expect from the iWatch."
Some enterprising people have already begun creating their own version of an Apple smartwatch by configuring the Apple iPod Nano 6G as a wrist watch. Do you think you would buy an Apple iWatch in 2013?

Most of the workers in Australia may work in extreme conditions and they are provided with all the necessary safety measures to keep them stay safe and unaffected by the negative circumstances. The compensation lawyers gold coast and compensation lawyers Newcastle are available for the compensation claims for which the workers may be found eligible for the claim.
In most cases, the compensation lawyers Brisbane and other workers compensation lawyers offer services for the physical damages and health issues that affect the worker and need help to get the compensation.
For emotional or psychological distress issues, there are certain policies to help such individual claim for the reason they have been damaged in a distressing manner. Sometimes compensation lawyers Melbourne and compensation lawyers canberra may include helpful services for the workers who are looking for the compensation claims due to psychological distress as this may lead to further health issues.
Though it depends on the fact that the worker may have documented the proof about the distress, the level of distress and the way their health has gotten damaged. Compensation lawyers Parramatta and compensation lawyers Adelaide can help in giving supportive services in case if the worker has the cover from their company and if they are found eligible based on the documents and proof collected along time.
Such a cover can help people who have been through some sort of emotional distress and it should include in the cover, but due to the fact this could lead to subjective opinions and the distress level may vary among the workers or individuals greatly, it becomes hard to judge and classify the level and compensation according to person's own perceptions.
If there is enough proof and legit documenting to support the case, and the worker has the cover provided, this can help workers avoiding health problems associated with such a distressing situation.

IPAB's Pegasys Decision: Was the Obviousness Analysis Truncated?
2 comments:
Dear Sai Deepak,ReplyDelete
Firstly, I must confess to a partial bias since I was one of the attorneys who appeared at the opposition.
Notwithstanding that, would agree that the IPAB does appear to have overstretched the prior art teachings in arriving at a finding of obviousness. One of the first principles of obviousness is the standard of a person of ordinary skill in the art. This appears to have not been dealt with at all in the decision. In the field of pegylation, the only thing that is predictable is that results of pegylation at different sites is unpredictable, and no results can be guesstimated at based on prior art teachings, unless such teachings are uncontrovertible. In addition, there would be a fundamental error in equating the teaching for proteins generally with pegylation for interferon, when it is recognised that even between intereferons, the results can vary dramatically.
If I may venture an opinion, this was a fit case where the services of an external independent scientific expert in the field of pegylation could have been called for to assist the IPAB in arriving at its conclusions.
Dear Sir,Delete
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. I couldn't agree more with you. This was indeed a good case for the IPAB to appoint a scientific advisor to avoid imputing more sense and meaning into the prior art than warranted. The unfortunate consequence is that the patentee does not have recourse to a statutory appeal to reverse the finding on merits, so it is stuck with the decision. It may not be possible to reverse the decision in a writ, given the limitations of writ jurisdiction.
Best Regards,

Fresh from its introduction of the MP4-12C model, McLaren will be proceeding to expand its supercar lineup with new additions, The Detroit Bureau reports. Antony Sheriff, the Managing Director of McLaren, said that with the addition of a battery-based car in the near future, McLaren will be able to comply with the new fuel economy and emissions standards.
The first model in this plan is the MP4-12C, a $229,000 (EUR156,600) car that will arrive in 9 US dealerships later this year.
Sheriff said that McLaren will offer a new model "about once a year." Sheriff said that McLaren will be making two-seat sports cars that use a "whole room of Formula One technology" that the automaker has available. The MP4-12C is powered by a 3.8-liter V8 twin-turbocharged engine that can develop 600 hp (448 kW).
Meeting the European and U.S. mileage standards is a challenge but Sheriff isn't much concerned about it since there are a few exceptions for small companies in the European regulations. Sheriff also said that to meet the fuel economy standards, McLaren will be making use of lightweight carbon fiber as well as advanced turbocharging technology.
