- Synopsis
New work from the Pulitzer Prize winning author of Repair.
Reality has put itself so solidly before me there's little need for mystery. Except for us, for how we take the world to us, and make it more, more than we are, more even than itself. --from "The World"
In his first volume since Repair, C. K. Williams treats the characteristic subjects of a poet's maturity--the loss of friends, the love of grandchildren, the receding memories of childhood, the baffling illogic of current events--with an intensity and drive that recall not only his recent work but also his early books, published forty years ago. He gazes at a Rembrandt self-portrait, and from it fashions a self-portrait of his own. He ponders an "anatomical effigy" at the Museum of Mankind, an in so doing "dissects" our common humanity. Stoking a fire at a house in the country, he recalls a friend who was burned horribly in war, and then turns, with eloquence and authority, to contemporary life during wartime, asking "how those with power over us can effect these things, by what cynical reasoning do they pardon themselves." The Singing is a direct and resonant book: touching, searching, heartfelt, permanent.
The Singing is the winner of the 2003 National Book Award for Poetry.

5 Justifications for Marketing Automation
Sep 28, 2010
It's becoming significantly more obvious to all businesses – B2B or B2C that buying behavior has changed and is continuing to change. The Internet and the volume of information available at a buyer's finger tips has changed the sales cycle to be driven by the buy cycle. It has taken the leverage of the sale away from the company and sales person and it has put that into the hands of the buyer. This change in the buy cycle is the number one justification for marketing automation. If you aren't selling based on where a buyer is in their cycle, you won't sell them at all. And if you can't identify and stay in touch with the buyer, who is only interacting with your company digitally, then you won't sell them at all either. So you ask, what other dynamics are affecting businesses today that are driving the use of marketing automation?
The second most common justification is the dwindling marketing budget. Marketing has to justify their budget. The time when large budgets were available for everything from branding to advertisement is gone. Marketing budgets continue to be scrutinized and put under constant pressure. Marketers are struggling to apply their limited budgets effectively. To help accomplish this, Marketers must be given the tools they need, and marketing automation provides for this support.
Lack of resources is the third most common justification for marketing automation. Companies should leverage the many service organizations and/or vendors that provide resource help for implementing marketing automation. Once the initial work is done, the huge leverage (and of course benefits) that companies can get from marketing automation should not be overlooked.
Is your company changing the way it measures marketing effectiveness – are you trying to really understand your impact on revenue and measure campaign ROI? The fourth justification for marketing automation is about measuring ROI. Marketing managers and departments are becoming more responsible for not just generating a volume of "leads" for sales, but now are being measured for the quality of those leads. How much of their marketing budget has impacted revenue? Marketing automation systems help companies improve the quality of leads passed to sales and enable marketers to track this effectiveness.
The fifth and probably the most costly justification for marketing automation is the cost of sales. Between the time sales spends trying to contact leads that aren't "sales-ready" or leads that aren't ready to buy, they are wasting a significant amount of time. This wasted time translates into significant costs and into potential lost revenue opportunity (sales not spending their time on real opportunities).
With the change in buying behavior, lack of marketing budget and resources, it's hard not to understand how to justify marketing automation today.

We were super limited on WHERE we could do the photos b/c apparently Kyle wouldn't be able to leave base. I thought, we'll this will be interesting! I had never been on that base before. Luckily Kyle went and scoped out a place that ended up perfectly beautiful for their photo session. And the sunset that night was AAAmazing. Torry and Kyle are SUCH an adorable couple. I'm bummed they won't be getting married in Jacksonville b/c I just think they are super cute and would love to be a part of their big day.

I have made tonkatsu and it's awesome! Not dried out or anything (hard to do with pork). Also, it turns out you can totally substitute Tonkatsu sauce with Okonomiyaki sauce and it will still taste great!
The only bad news is that I was super lazy after work and instead of going to buy a new bottle of tonkatsu sauce I just used an unopened okonomiyaki sauce we had in the cupboard that expired last March. If I die, it was delicious. I figured since it was unopened and air sealed, it's probably fine, right? (Probably not)

Charles picked up a package of grouper at the grocery the other day and had his heart set on a great fish sandwich. I had in the past used cornmeal when I fry my fish along with the flour and seasonings but I didn't have any in the house. I have to confess I think I might have liked this better. The flavor was superb; I made a horseradish tartar sauce to go along with that I will share tomorrow. I really enjoy the way grouper tastes. It makes a great sandwich and has a fantastic texture. I think I will have to make this again in a day or so.
Fried Grouper Fish Sandwich
- 12 ounces grouper
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp dill weed
- black pepper
- oil for frying
Thaw fish if frozen and pat dry.
Mix flour with seasoning. Heat 1/4 inch or so of oil over medium high heat; dip fish into flour mixture and press gently to coat.
Cook fish for a total of 4 – 5 minutes. I flipped mine over after about 2 1/2 minutes and sprinkled on a little more salt. Drain on paper towels and serve. I had 4 fillets which made 2 tasty sandwiches!
Enjoy ~ Kimberly

Tomoko Omura is among today's leading voices in jazz violin. "Roots", her debut album for Inner Circle, is a compelling tribute to her native Japan, featuring original arrangements of ten classic Japanese folk and popular songs. In the words of fellow violinist Christian Howes, "'Roots' is a tremendous accomplishment, and undoubtedly one of the most important and creative jazz albums produced by a violinist in recent history." Downbeat magazine calls Tomoko "a leader with a fine future" with 4 and half star. She is also chosen for one of "Rising star" on critisc poll, Downbeat Magazine in 2015.
Strongly informed by the jazz violin tradition, her 2008 self-released debut album, "Visions", is a collection of seven dynamic original pieces, each of which is dedicated to one of the greats of the instrument, from Stuff Smith to Zbigniew Seifert. Violinst Matt Glaser praises "Visions" as such: "Her playing here is uniformly amazing, with great ideas, great tone, perfect intonation and great feel…". "Mark's Passion", dedicated to Mark Feldman, was awarded an Honorable Mention in the 2008 International Songwriting Competition. The release of "Visions" also prompted Strings Magazine to name Omura a "Rising Star" in 2009. In 2014, she was chosen as a finalist of the 1st International Zbigniew Seifert Jazz Violin Competition in Krakow, Poland.
Originally from Shizuoka, Japan, she began studying the violin at a young age with her mother, and began
playing jazz music while studying at Yokohama National University. In 2004, Tomoko relocated to the United States when she was awarded a scholarship to study at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. While at Berklee, Tomoko worked with such legendary musicians as George Garzone, Hal Crook, Ed Tomassi, Jamey Haddad, Matt Glaser and Rob Thomas. In 2005, during her sophomore year, she was awarded Berklee's prestigious Roy Haynes award; an award given to one student for their exceptional improvisational skills. Tomoko was the first violinist in Berklee's history to receive this award. She graduated summa cum laude in 2007.
Since moving to NY in 2010, Tomoko has performed with a wide range of musicians including; Fabian Almazan, Vadim Neselovskyi, Paquito D'Rivera, The Mahavishnu Project, Aubrey Johnson, Tammy Scheffer, and Simon Yu's Exotic Experiment, Miho Hazama, Mario Castro, Joanna Wallfisch. She is featured on Almazan's Blue Note/ArtistShare debut recording, "The Rhizome Project". She has previously been a full time member of world music band, The Guy Mendilow Ensemble, Celtic music band, RUNA and the vintage jazz band, Carte Blanche.

The United States is the only industrialized country in the world that does not primarily use the metric system to measure quantities like volume, length, weight and degrees. While there have been pushes within the United States to convert to the simpler metric system, and the metric system is used to varying extents in science, medicine and government, in commerce, the United States largely uses "customary units," based on the "English units" in use in the British Empire before American independence. This quiz tests your knowledge of U.S. customary units of measurement.
Note: Special thanks to Learning Life intern, Kane Boynton, for conducting some of the research for this quiz, and drafting the questions and answers.

After working on my blog for over 2 years I thought to myself 'ok so you've posted all these recipes and sure people can go to the Recipe page and choose' but why not also create a meal-plan based on what you feel is a typical healthy week to really kickstart someone else's healthy lifestyle.
So that's exactly what I did. You can stick religiously to the plan below or deviate slightly from it if you wish, its your choice. All I'll say is the plan is healthy, tasty and you certainly won't starve! It's ideal for those wanting to eat better and is a bit like a 'healthy detox week' which I'm sure you'll benefit from.
Print the table off and stick it somewhere in or around the kitchen (on the fridge would be ideal). I'd also recommend bookmarking this page so that each time you're ready to move on to the next snack or meal you can click the item and it will take you straight to that recipe.
Bear with me though! Not all of the recipes have been published so not all the links are currently active (the ones underlined are the active ones) however they soon will be!
Finally just to make you aware I'm not a qualified dietitian, the meal plan is based around my own experiences and weight-loss journey.

I know I am in the minority when I say this, but I do not like zombies.
Which is and is not true. I *do* like Zombies. I happens to be friends with a man who organizes Zombie Walks in Seattle, where hundreds of people dress like the dead and do the moan-n-shuffle down main thoroughfares. I am friends with a woman who volunteered to be a survivor in the Survivors vs. Zombies VI. I met the girl who currently runs the Thrillingham zombie group at the Farmer's Market. Another dear friend of mine lurves Zombies and also has prepared for the Zombpocalypse, should it ever come.
When I see Zombies, though, I don't see fetid creatures of the undead seeking out my spicy brains. I see a homogeneous mass of half-aware people who would prefer to criticize a person for trying something new rather than try to break out of their self-induced coma. I see people who embody the definition of insanity, doing the same things over and over again expecting a different result. I see people who do not have expertise but believe that they do, judging someone and cutting them down until they give up and vomit the same ennui that everybody else does.
When I see these images, I try to balance them out with beautiful things. Art, or stories, or uplifting photography, or maybe even people's anecdotes about a brush with a truly unique person or situation.
The curse of reason is the necessity of judgment. Just as our sense of spatial awareness lets us know where we are relative to our surroundings, our judgment tells us if an object is food, or shelter, or dangerous. Our judgment also helps us to protect ourselves against those who might manipulate us for gain. No one likes being judged, yet we all must judge if we are to survive.
Zombies, to me, embody that overwhelming sense of judgment coming from a group that believes you are standing out too far from the crowd. Zombies are the critics that try to stop you, would rather kill you than see you succeed. They want to eat your brains, to scoop out that which makes you who you are and make you one of them, a soulless, lifeless being that hunts down beauty and uniqueness and destroys it utterly.
In every Zombie movie, either humans or zombies end triumphant. I have finally seen one Zombie film where they find a cure for zombie-ism, and of course the cure is love. I feel that story rings the most true, that the only way to cure an infestation of toxic people bent on withdrawing your brain from your cranial cavity (figuratively speaking, of course) is to hook them into something they can love. It doesn't have to be romantic love. Love of dance, love of music, love of painting, all these things are passions that can reach those who have shut out their inner fire.
Sometimes Zombies live within our minds, the little voices that assure us that we'll never be good enough anyway so it seems better to just give up now and save ourselves the embarrassment. I know that is true with me. I'm very quick to judge myself, and I am always the harshest critic. I did spend a few painful years in school being harried by Zombies, but now that I'm older, I realize that almost every person deals with that at some point in their life, especially in school. I'm learning to tame my inner Zombie and set it up in a shed with an X-box, a la Shaun of the Dead.
I hope that our culture can move past this Zombie phase and begin to identify with truth and beauty a little more, and see the world with hope again. I spoke with a man tonight who remembers the sixties, and is more than a little disappointed that there aren't people hanging out on the Moon by now. He has seen technological achievements slow down, become smaller, and while the Internet in the palm of a hand is a neat tool, it's the sonic screwdriver without the TARDIS. One will get the job done, but the other will take you to lands beyond imagination.
We need to reclaim our love, our passion, from the dim gray horizon. It's time that people stopped freaking out about the future and start to forge one they can love. Just because we think we know what is possible doesn't mean we should stop dreaming about what will be possible.
If we stop dreaming, the Zombies win.

Memorial Day
Memorial Day is this weekend. Many folks are excited about the three-day weekend, making plans to have BBQ's, picnics, going on mini-vacations and just basically enjoying themselves. There are also those who are slightly derisive of those who make such plans, telling them to remember that Memorial Day is a day set aside to honor the memories of those who served in our military in order to gain and retain our freedoms. They are both right. Memorial Day does fall on Monday and therefore it is a perfect time to get together with friends and family and it is also a day set aside in honor.
Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on May 5, 1868 by General John Logan, National Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11, and was first observed on 30 May 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873. By 1890, all of the northern states recognized it, however the South did not acknowledge the day, honoring their dead on separate days until after World War I. After the first World War, the holiday changed from honoring just those who died fighting in the Civil War to honoring Americans who died fighting in any war. Passed by Congress with the National Holiday Act of 1971, it is now celebrated in almost every State on the last Monday in May.
Some folks wear poppies to honor our fallen soldiers. That was the brainchild of Moina Michael, who wrote a poem (inspired by the poem Flanders Fields by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae):
We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.
Her idea was to wear red poppies on Memorial Day in honor of those who died serving the nation during war. She was the first to wear one, and sold poppies to her friends and co-workers, the money raised went to needy servicemen.
As a child, I was a member of the Girl Scouts. We went to the Punch Bowl, (true names is National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific) in Hawaii and placed flags and leis (which we painstakingly made ourselves) on the gravesites. The boy scouts cleaned them. Taps was played and flags were half-mast. It was a solemn occasion, a least in the morning. In the afternoon, it was luau time.
Memorial Day is day to remember our fallen defenders, those brave men and women of our military who have given their lives to keep us free. It is also a time to be with family and friends. I personally think that those fallen heroes would want it that way. It is what they fought for. So take a moment and reflect upon those who fought for you. Perhaps go ahead and place a flag on a fallen soldier's grave. Then go and enjoy the day.

O2's new TU Go service allows users to make phone calls and send texts from their mobile number using any supported device, including Apple's iPad and iPod touch.
Available to O2's Pay Monthly customers, the free-to-download TU Go app means that users can make and receive calls, texts and voicemail from their existing O2 mobile number on almost any internet connected and microphone-equipped device.
O2 says that the TU Go app is available on Apple's iOS devices running iOS 5 and above, Android devices running Android 2.3.1 and above, and PCs running Windows 7 only.
The texts and calls made using the TU Go app come out of the customer's O2 bundle, and the person receiving the communication from you doesn't need to be using the TU Go service.
"Customers can now take their mobile number wherever they like, even away from their mobile," said O2's UK Marketing and Consumer Director Sally Cowdry. "TU Go lets you take a call on a tablet, pick up text messages on a PC and have conversations in places with WiFi coverage but no mobile signal. We're letting nothing stand between our customers and their number."
The service could also come in handy for communicating when the user's handset has run out of battery or has been accidentally left at home, allowing phone calls to be made and text messages to be sent as normal from other devices.
O2 says TU Go combines Voice over IP (VOIP) and its mobile network to allow customers to view their communication history across multiple devices. Customers can log in to the app on up to five devices simultaneously, and this doesn't need to include the O2 handset.
When a user receives a call, the TU Go app will ring across all the devices it is installed on (which could get rather noisy), and text messages will arrive on other devices just as they would on a phone, says O2.
Cowdry says that TU Go is still in its early stages, so we should expect to see further services added to the platform in the future. This could include OS X compatibility.
You can watch O2's TU Go video below:

The chicken chain says it hopes to use assvertising to "tempt fellow students" into trying the fried-meat monstrosity that only a frat boy or freshman could love. "On select college campuses," the press release says, "female undergraduates will sport KFC Double Down branded sweatpants to encourage students to try the unique bun-less sandwich." The gig pays $500, in case that helps you swallow your pride like a pile of greasy hen flesh. The promotion kicked off this week in Louisville, Ky., and will soon hit three more campuses. You're asked to apply on the KFC Facebook page, presumably through a wall post. That's probably the first weeding-out process for applicants: If you're too ashamed to show your interest in a public forum like Facebook, you're probably not a good fit for the Double Down butt brigade.

Autumn's the quiet type of chick, but eventually she starts to spill a little. There's lots of great Autumn tit play in this photo set, one of her most popular pictorials, and 5'2" Autumn wears her trademark six inch platform shoes, which makes her already shapely legs even sexier.

'Camera Obscura' Writer-Director Aaron B. Koontz Discusses What Inspires Him
Alex Aronson
In the directorial debut of Aaron B. Koontz, "Camera Obscura" tells the story Jack Zeller (Christopher Denham, "Billions"), a veteran war photographer struggling with PTSD, who receives a gift in the form of an old camera that allows his to see imminent deaths of those he loves. The developed photographs from this mysterious camera, which is acquired by his wife Claire (Nadja Bobyleva, "Bridge of Spies") at an estate sale, depicts gruesome crime scenes that cannot be unseen.
Jack makes an effort to stop these terrible acts from happening, but soon becomes the subject of an investigation lead by Detective Dawson (Catherine Curtin, "Orange is the New Black") and Detective Ford (Chase Williamson, "The Guest"), as the string of murders begin to trace back to him. Koontz, who is no stranger to the horror genre himself, and recently executive produced the cult-hit "Starry Eyes," spoke with Entertainment Voice about directing his first feature, his creative process, and the contemporary horror that inspires him.
The original and intriguing horror/thriller concept was a writing partnership between Cameron Burns and Koontz himself. "The writing partner relationship is different with everyone," Koontz explained. "Cameron and I both have different tastes, which I think is a good thing because it allows us to provide a voice for everyone."
The actual inspiration for Burns and Koontz is heavily inspired by current events pulled right from the headlines. "We come together in my house, sit in recliners, and I play music in the background that I feel is fitting for the project." Koontz continues, "And then we talk about the news because what's strange and true out there is what inspires so many ideas… that's actually where the PTSD came from. There was a news story about an Army vet who went down a wrong road, and ultimately he had PTSD and he had blacked out, so this kind of added to the main character."
Not only does the news inform Koontz' writing, but the work of his contemporary genre filmmakers also pushes him to forge ahead. "I was fortunate to go to film school with Adam Wingard ("The Guest," "You're Next," "Blair Witch"). I reconnected with him, and he encouraged me."
As far as his taste in modern genre films, Koontz notes, "In the industry, I love Jennifer Kent's 'The Babadook.' It's atmospheric and had a little bit of a Lovecraftian taste to it. I like that it took a concept we had heard of before and it felt original." He also goes on to note that he loves "The Conjuring" films saying, "What I love about those, in particular, is that they're so well shot. They really are a great example for our generation. I mean, I feel like they're 'The Shining, ' and I'm watching Kubrick or something. I really do believe that the aesthetic and production design is really on another level."
On the subject of contemporary horror, it has been a recent trend to adapt short films into feature length pieces – the last notable adaptation is "Lights Out," which grossed a hefty $148 million last summer. "Camera Obscura" is no exception. "The core concept," Koontz said, "was based on 'Aperture,' (a 30-minute short film he co-wrote and directed back in 2015) but they're still quite different." Koontz also noted that "the time came up for me to do my first feature, so I wanted to do something with this idea (based on 'Aperture']. So we took a little bit of the core idea and merged that with the other idea that I had, which dealt with PTSD, mental illness and the concept of an unreliable narrator."
Although this was the feature-length directorial debut for Koontz, the writer/director had created some short films in the past that served as experiments of a sort. "I just think it's important to make a variety of short films to test the waters and see do you do, whether it's comedy or horror or thriller… I [also] wanted to see if I could make a 30-minute film and see if I could handle a narrative – and boy, did I fail. It was early in my career. I had great actors and a great team, but I tried to fit too much into a small screen."
However, the experience creating shorts films ultimately paid off in the end, as helming his first feature-length project, "wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. Things happen, locations fall out, but as a director and producer you just have to weather that storm." Koontz concluded, "It felt natural."
"Camera Obscura" opens in select theaters June 9 and on VOD and Digital HD June 13.

Research on Parish councils and FOI
In June 2015 we made a series of FOI requests and asks to look into the openness of parish councils in England. To ensure that awareness of our research project did not bias responses we identified ourselves as belonging to a group called Making Parishes Better, rather than from two academics, though our contact details were on the website. We wanted to make sure parishes responded normally and our concern was that if parishes believed we were researching how well FOI worked they would respond differently. We asked for an organisation chart to be sent and published. This was chosen as an item that would not cause controversy and could, we hoped, be put together at very low cost.
The bullet points below offer a summary of our findings, which we hope can help discussion around FOI and how it works for parishes. All data used for our research in the answers is statistical only and is not identifiable or attributable to an individual or public body. You can see a copy of the paper here: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2699198
We would like to thank all the parishes that helped provide the information and hope our research is of value to them. We also hope that the information will have a democratic value to the community.

Research Highlights
How effective are systems of transparency, such as Freedom of Information (FOI) requests? We sent selected parishes either an FOI request or a simple 'ask' or question, seeking an organisation chart.
Looking across both request and ask we found:
- FOI triggers more responses and requests are more than twice as effective as simple informally asking. 20.4 per cent of FOIs got a response as against 9.2 per cent of asks-so an FOI is more likely to get a response than just asking. For parish councils, the smallest bodies staffed by part-time staff often with very little funding, these results are positive.
- The first step is the hardest and the bottleneck appeared to be over emails and requests getting lost or going into junk.
- FOI triggers more compliance. Parish councils which received FOI requests were more likely to send the requested document and to make it public.
- Size doesn't matter as although resources and commitment may influence how open a body is, in this case it appears the size of the parish or pre-existing level of opennessappears to make little difference to responsiveness.
- FOI requests get stronger not weaker the further up the chain of asking they go, indicating strong levels of support within the system. For example, when asked to publish charts on the website, 3.2 per cent of parishes responded to the 'ask' and 9.4 responded to the FOI, which is three times as responsive.

Wreath Laying in the Sanctuary
Shrine Representatives:
Shrine Life Governor Lieutenant Colonel Adrian Lombardo
Shrine Life Governor Mr Peter Whitelaw
In the month of January, we commemorate the following events:
9 January 1917: Light Horse captures Rafa
The Allies, led by the ANZAC Mounted Division, took the Turkish outpost of Rafa on the Egypt-Palestine border. Together with the earlier capture of Magdhaba this action provided the Allies a secure base for their advance into Palestine.
3-5 January 1941: Battle of Bardia
The attack and capture of the Italian held city of Bardia, Libya marked the beginning of Australia's first major ground campaign of the Second World War.
9 January 1966: Operation Crimp, Vietnam
1st Battalion Royal Australian Regiment was involved in heavy fighting in Viet Cong tunnels during Operation Crimp.
Sunday 20 January 2019, 10:00am
Shrine Representative:
Shrine Life Governor Colonel George Mackenzie OBE RFD
The 2/29 Australian Infantry Battalion was raised in Victoria in 1940 for service in the Second World War. They participated in the Malayan Campaign, fighting delaying actions around Bakri and Muar, eventually withdrawing to Singapore to fight in the defence (February 1942). The Battalion were captured when the garrison capitulated and they spent the duration of the war as prisoners, being moved around different camps including the infamous Changi prison. 582 members of the 2/29 AIB were killed in action or died in captivity, with 143 wounded in action.
This Service is held on the closest Sunday to 17 January as the anniversary of their first action.
Sunday 20 January 2019, 12:00pm
The 2/22 AIB was raised in July 1940 and initially headquartered at Victoria Barracks in Melbourne. Arriving in Rabaul (New Britain) on 26 April 1941 they combined with the local New Guinea Volunteer Rifles, a coastal defence battery, an anti-aircraft battery and elements of 2/10 Field Ambulance and 17 Anti-tank Battery to form Lark Force. The "Bird Forces" were deployed to protect vulnerable coastal areas and airbases, with Lark Force operating at the Lakunai and Vunakanau airbases.
After Japanese bombing of New Britain in January 1942 destroyed most of their assets, Lark Force withdrew from Rabaul and awaited the inevitable Japanese landings. Overwhelmed by superior numbers of Japanese troops and unprepared for an ordered retreat, Lark Force disintegrated and attempted to escape.
Approximately 160 Australians captured were massacred at Tol Plantation and another 836 were interned as prisoners, some of whom were killed in the sinking of the Montevideo Maru transport ship.
Sunday 20 January 2019, 01:30pm
Shrine Representatives:
Shrine Life Governor Colonel George Mackenzie OBE RFD
Shrine Trustee Dr Robert Webster OAM
The Shrine Monthly Remembrance Service honours Victorian servicemen and women from all branches of the Armed Forces. In particular, we remember Victorians who served during the First and Second World Wars, who once would have attended their annual Pilgrimage in this month, but due to the passage of time are no longer able to.
In World War I, 89,000 Victorians served overseas. 19,000 made the supreme sacrifice.
In World War II, 297,000 Victorians served overseas. 10,900 made the supreme sacrifice.
We will remember them.

Artillery Salute on the Forecourt
Australia Day has evolved from a small commemorative New South Wales holiday into a major national celebration. Australia Day is the most inclusive celebration of a national day in Australia, expressing the national diversity which has become such an important part of the Australian national character. Australia Day celebrates diversity and tolerance in Australian society. It is commemorated on this day each year with a 21-gun salute fired from the Shrine's Lower Forecourt by the Royal Australian Artillery.
Note: The salute is extremely loud and it is recommended that visitors wth small children or pets maintain an appropriate distance from the guns.
Saturday 26 January 2019, 04:30pm
This service has been cancelled by the Association and will no longer be held.

We'd been given a list, from which we were to pick a number of items to include in our parcel. They were more headings really. For example, I sent something shiny, something with an animal on it, something to represent myself (I sent a little sewing kit) and a "bad day survival kit" for which I was sent a recipe for cake and some candles, with instructions to "bake a cake and put candles in it, even if it isn't your birthday". Cute.
|I received a tomato growing kit as 'something seasonal'
My swap parcel came from Miranda, whose note told me she runs a treasure-swapping site on Tumblr. As for what I sent out, I've taken a photo below. My parcel went to Brandi, and I did leave her my blog details so I'm hoping she will get in touch when she gets it.(I'm not sure if she has a blog or not).

If money could buy happiness, how much would it take to bring it back after the death of a partner, child or spouse? Most of us would be loathe to assign such a value, if not offended by the question, but two economists have attached such dollar values to deaths by comparing the way that lost loved ones lower scores on happiness surveys with the way that greater incomes boost scores. More than just a gruesome exercise, they say they hope it will provide courts with a way to more fairly award damages.
Huh? Read the entire article here.

In the analysis of business cycles, investment-specific technology (IST) shocks are the new rage. A few papers now have shown that they explain better business cycles than the classical shocks to total factor productivity ("technology"). Specifically, IST shocks are perturbations to how efficiently investment translates into productive capital. There is one problem, though, and it is a major one: in response to IST shocks, investment and consumption move in opposite directions, while the data clearly indicate they are positively correlated.
Francesco Furlanetto and Martin Seneca study under which circumstances a positive correlation could be obtained. They find that you need the following: non-separability of consumption and leisure in utility and nominal price rigidity (à la Calvo, sigh...). Remove any of the two, and the result crumbles. Thus it seems essential to make a point whether these two assumptions make sense. Regular readers know that I do not believe Calvo pricing is an appropriate way of looking at price rigidity, provided that it even is significant to matter economically in the first place. It is not clear that another pricing mechanism would yield the same result. And regarding non-separability of leisure and consumption, I have no evidence whether this is a valid assumption, and the authors do not help me. And what about other shocks? Those typically lead to positive correlations between consumption and investment, and include such shocks may help relaxing the requirements identified by Furlanetto and Seneca.

Beaudry and Floden have separately done some work on the comovement issue in expectations-driven models, and they think that changing the production technology can move things in the right direction. Certainly seems much more reasonable to me than relying on a fragile theory of aggregate supply.

It's almost Labor Day. No more white pants!! (Do people actually follow this rule?) Anyone doing anything special on this day off? I plan on enjoying this last day before classes start Tuesday. Last day of summer!
For dinner tonight, I had a side of sweet potato fries. Typically I season them with salt and pepper followed by a quick toss with coconut oil to roast. Today I tried something new and seasoned them with some salt and pepper, ground cumin, ground paprika, and garlic powder. Baked them into fries and served it with this ketchup recipe.
Tastes just like Heinz ketchup, but without all of that sugar! Perfect. Also weird thought that came to mind..ketchup in Europe tasted really different in a strange way. Wasn't much of a fan when I needed some ketchup with my fish and chips!

Regression testing is a means to assure that a change in the software, or
its execution environment, does not introduce new defects. It involves the expensive
undertaking of rerunning test cases. Several techniques have been proposed
to reduce the number of test cases to execute in regression testing, however, there
is no research on how to assess industrial relevance and applicability of such techniques.
We conducted a systematic literature review with the following two goals:
rstly, to enable researchers to design and present regression testing research with
a focus on industrial relevance and applicability and secondly, to facilitate the industrial
adoption of such research by addressing the attributes of concern from the
practitioners' perspective. Using a reference-based search approach, we identied
1068 papers on regression testing. We then reduced the scope to only include papers
with explicit discussions about relevance and applicability (i.e. mainly studies
involving industrial stakeholders). Uniquely in this literature review, practitioners
were consulted at several steps to increase the likelihood of achieving our aim of
identifying factors important for relevance and applicability. We have summarised
the results of these consultations and an analysis of the literature in three taxonomies,
which capture aspects of industrial-relevance regarding the regression
testing techniques. Based on these taxonomies, we mapped 38 papers reporting
the evaluation of 26 regression testing techniques in industrial settings.
Background: Software quality assurance (QA) is an essential activity in the software development lifecycle. Among the different QA activities, regression testing is a challenging task for large-scale software development. Regression testing is a well-researched area, and a large number of techniques have been proposed to fulfill the needs of industry. Despite the extensive research, the adoption of proposed regression testing techniques in the industry is limited. Studies show that there is a visible gap between research and practice.
Objective: This work aims at reducing the gap between industry and academia in regression testing. To fulfill this aim we have the following objectives:
1) Understanding the practitioners' goals regarding regression testing.
2) Understanding the current state of regression testing practice and challenges in the industry.
3) Investigating the testing research applicable in an industrial context.
Method: We conducted multiple studies using different methods.
To explore the industry perspective on regression testing we used focus group and interview-based studies. To explore solutions from the literature, we used the systematic literature review and systematic mapping study.
Results: This thesis presents the practitioners' specific regression testing goals. The identified goals are confidence, controlled fault slippage, effectiveness, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. The challenges identified in the thesis are of two categories, 1) management related challenges and 2) technical challenges. Technical challenges relate to test suite maintenance, test case selection, test case prioritization, evaluation of regression testing.
We have mapped 26 empirically evaluated regression testing techniques to the context, effect, and information taxonomies, and provided a guide to the practitioners regarding the adoption of the techniques in an industrial setting. We have also classified 56 model-based test case generation techniques regarding their strengths/limitations, input/intermediate models used, and relevance to the industrial context.
Conclusions: The challenges identified in this study are not new for research and practice. There could be two reasons regarding the presence of recurring challenges: 1) regression testing techniques proposed in the literature do not fit the companies' context, 2) or, companies are not aware of the availability of the techniques that could be suitable for their context. To support the adoption of existing research on regression testing in the industry, we have presented three taxonomies. These taxonomies, allow the characterization of regression testing techniques and enable to determine which of these techniques might be suitable in a given context. Furthermore, the identification of information needs for these techniques would be helpful to learn the implications regarding the cost of adoption. Regarding the support in test case generation, we conclude that current research on interaction model-based test case generation techniques did not illustrate the use of rigorous methodology, and currently, model-based test case generation techniques have low relevance for the industrial problems.

text: 1- At work I leave my phone on my desk. I don't know if I get a text message, phone call, or email unless I check. On my old phone (LG Voyager) I would have a message (I don't recall the detail) that there was a missed message or call. How can I set the Droid up for this? Maybe there is an alarm alert that repeats but obviouly it doesn't repeat rapidly enough to solve the problem. 2- When the Droid goes to "sleep" I have to press the on/off button to have the screen come on then sweep the unlock to use the Droid. Doesn't this seem redundant to have to unlock the phone twice? This is really annoying. Thanks!


text: Good afternoon and thank you for being at the webinar on accessible PowerPoint presentations. This is Dr. Zayira Jordan web accessibility coordinator at Iowa State and this is the topic for this week's webinar. In upcoming weeks, I will announce upcoming webinars and different topics that are seem to be more pattern in terms of the needs for our stakeholders to understand better in terms of accessibility. So even before I go into the presentation itself, I would like to give you a little bit of background. The motivation that drove me to address this topic specifically today is that, recently I met with a students who is part of the Student government here at Iowa State, and usually when I talk to students I asked them why do they think if they heard that they're so specific issue that we should be dealing with in terms of accessibility in general and he told me that the one thing that keeps hearing from different students is that they would like for power points to be more accessible even in the classroom not necessarily power points online but power points as professors teach them or someone is presenting. So in this presentation you are goanna learn a little bit about accessibility as you create your PowerPoint. As we see here in the first slide and then we are going to talk about the oral presentation itself briefly, at the end a little bit about how to check for accessibility. What are the different tools and you have, that you can check for accessibility in PowerPoint. How to export or save power points so that they are readable in PDF format and I guess I will take questions, if not you can send questions at z as in zebra Jordan firstname.lastname@example.com or digitalaccess.iastate.edu. So let us move on, as you see here the first part is about how to create a power points presentation that is accessible and usable even because when we talk about accessibility were talking also about usability and inclusion thinking about how different users in this case our viewers of our presentation or listeners of our oral presentation perceived that information on how can we better convey to them in different formats, so that they are able to obtain the meaning that they need to from the contain, so as you see here the first recommendations would be to choose of built-in design. As you know power points brings different design that you may choose from. Choose one of those because most of the time if not all our point has already tested their designs: their templates to call them some other way and the readers have been I mean readers has been used to test those designs and they have tested and improved that these designs are suitable for reading with the screen reader and they're all well organized in the way that someone with an invisible, visible disability such as a learning disability would have the information we convey to them you know in a usable fashion. Okay, the next point here is you are creating your own, which I have done myself in this presentation that you're looking at, you can use an existing design. I use the black background and white font in this case and I included the logo of Iowa State University as you see on the top. You can adapt to existing style or designed by using the master slightly you are inserting the different components that we wants so that those components are in all slides. So you can have some flexibility in that case and you may customize the slides. The next point is to ensure color scheme is high contrast as you may know high-contrast it's important terms of the people with visual disabilities it it's not only about people who are blind, who may have blindness or low visibility but some users might have a problem with color, defining color or color blindness and to check for color scheme that is high contrast it's important and I will show you in a minute a tool that you may resort to make sure that the colors are suitable for accessibility. The next recommendation would be to use a Sans-Serif Fonts such as Aerial or Verdana. Sans-Serif fonts are those that are not have those little endings that are a little bit curved like in this case I used Sans-Serif font. Again aerial and verdana fonts that are sponsoring that you may resort to. Ensure that the information conveyed through your color is also related in an alternate format because there is again people who may be color blind that may not perceive information that you related try to relate to try to hold the attention to an element in your text color and that may not be conveyed to the user if the user is color blind. The one of the things that my research is underlining if you are using color as some something to our relating to the user. One other thing is not to use time transitions because they might stop or the viewer or the reader of our power points from being able to read all the content as you may understand I have falling into this error before and it's very frustrating for the presenter as well because some time the presenter goes on yes, I do sometimes and the transition keeps moving along and you don't have to slide, you're supposed to have at that moment, so time transitions are not advantageous neither for the presenter nor for the user on it might be, there might be some instances were use useful but for the most part you should shy away from those. One other thing that you can do is use the outline view as you know in power pints we have different types of views; this slides order that the outline, the slide master. So you can restore to the outline view because outline view will show you the titles of each of your slides and the contains as they are organized, so that informs you about all the contains that you have included is it's actually provided in the reading order that it should be and it's goanna be read by the screen reader. If you do insert media like audio file or a video file, for a video file you should include captions or transcript if you do insert an audio file make sure to insert a transcript as well and finally ensure that your slides are readable and they're adaptable if you do upload a PowerPoint presentation for to share it with other users when you're not presenting it they might have low vision and if they can adapt text and increase the font that's excellent. Readability again you may shorten your senses you don't want to have slide wear there's long sentences use, just use your power point presentation as a support both for you as a presenter and for your reader. Here you can see this light master view that maybe resort to if you are to change your slide and as you see here in this slide master view is the one from the presentation you're seeing right now. I inserted the white pane on the top on and Iowa State logo and you might do some of the changes even inserting contain areas and in the footer you have the ability to insert a page number and the data as you see here. So there you go you can determine different levels of text and the recommendation is that presentations do not have text that are lower than 24 points in terms of the size of the font and you can also restored to one another tool you have the URL here for webaim color checker to make sure that all the colors included in your presentation at least the ones that are portrayed in the background and foreground that is the background and the font color are high contrast and passed for what we call we had web content accessibility guidelines level AA, which is the guidelines that we are following at Iowa State and most Universities and industry follows to comply with accessibility requirements in the law. If you are doing an oral presentation with your power Points again tell a story, have your power points be you're basically your reminder or the reminder for the user about what you talked and they may annotate them as many users too many people in the audience get students or other kind of viewer. They use it as a support for understanding what went on during the presentation and they annotate them for your power points is to reminder do not include no sentences and sites as I said already because those tends to be boring and when people were surveyed according to fast check one of them sources that I used for this presentation the most common reasons why they didn't like power points were because either sentences were reading from them or the slides have long sentences. One another thing that you can be mindful about is to pace yourself. I myself have fallen into this problem often. When you get nervous and you're presenting sometimes you tend to run through things and that is not the best way to go up out presenting your power points. So I have to remind myself to stop and breathe and be mindful and try to convey the contents and whatever message I want to convey to the viewer in-depth and as calmly as possible. Even more so when you have an accent like myself have, making an effort for people to understand what you are saying be mine pulled off of your audience indicate time of transition for the next slide in terms of a person cannot know in any other way that you're changing the slides either not a five-year audience that you're changing to the next line or include some sort of all of the sound that indicates that there's a transition to another slide and we can do so through so on instruct that your audience about the adaptations and the measures that you took for making your PowerPoint presentation more accessible to start with. One of the things that I like to do is to resort to Guy Kawasaki's 10/20/30 rule which is not written in stone but it's a good guideline and what it does is that Guy Kawasaki, he is a speaker and technology guy and he usually speaks out about how to be an effective speaker and he says that you can convey your message by using just 10 slides in 20 minutes and at least 30 points font. I said that you should not use less than 24 point font but he recommends to use 30 point font. This is more about the usability and more effectiveness as a speaker than it is about accessibility but all things collide overlap usability, accessibility, and inclusion. Again this is taken with a grain of salt because sometimes we do need to resort to longer presentations and it's okay it's just it's contextual and all our efforts about making things accessible are more about being mindful and be aware and having that awareness and empathy for different types of users and different needs that our users and audiences may have. If you are using images please do so images are a wonderful way of conveying and telling your stories, use an image early you can use it repetitively throughout your presentation so that you will make your points don't be afraid to do so. Ensure that the resolution is it's good so that the users of viewers can see a good image if you are convenient, if you are a presenter to an audience and try to describe the image or insert that description within your story that you're telling and finally include alternate text which is we have requirement and you can do so through the menu that PowerPoint itself provides for formatting an image. Finally you can check accessibility both in office 365 through their menu as you see here illustrated in the office 365 menu there's a button that allows for you to check accessibility and also there is an item in younger earlier versions of Microsoft office PowerPoint on all of the applications that are born out of Microsoft office. You can go to file then click on info and there's a menu item called check for issues there, there's a sub-item called check accessibility and that provides you with the report and even allows for you to go into each item that is reported that report and allow for you see different ways of permittee in addressing whatever accessibility issues you have. So as you see here again go to file, click in info then uncheck for issues you go to check accessibility report is generated and you can check your findings and address item-by-item through their recommendations provided by MS Office PowerPoint in this case but it is also featured in as I said other Microsoft Office applications like word and excel. When you would convert, converting you're Power Points to PDF make sure that you instead of doing anything other than saving it, do save it so again to make it more clear go to file save as and make sure that the format is PDF and save it as a PDF otherwise you wouldn't be saving it so that is readable by a screen reader so make sure again that you save as PDF formats for your exporting to PDF. For more information about how to do different things on your own in terms of PowerPoint and other applications and other activities on tasks that you are confronted with when you're addressing accessibility specifically for digital content you may go to www.digitalaccess.iastate.edu or you might go to iastate.edu Iowa State home site and search for digital accessibility and you find the web site. As you see here this presentation which will be uploaded to the website itself includes references you can see the links are provided in-depth there here or how they appeared so that users and copy them and see them usually when you're trying to convey information online through HTML webpage or other types of formats you don't include the links in this way you rather in link to a description of the link so that the screen reader might does not have to go through all the URL reading through but in this case I you know contextual decision-making I have included the links themselves. Thank you for listening to this presentation.

Welcome to the I Hate Critics Podcast. We watched two movies this week, Old Man Washington's "The Equalizer," and the family friendly "Box Trolls. "The Equalizer" over performed because it made more money than it's worth and "The Box Trolls" under performed in that it was worth way more than it made.
This week Josh defends "Man on Fire" another Old Man Washington film. He loves the movies potential, Sean and I hate it because of it's potential to be good.

I was having a hard time thinking of topics for this week's list, so I asked my kids for ideas. Here's what they suggested:
- A list of people who are smarter than me. S thinks that list should include herself, her sister, and her father. I have to take exception to at least the first two.
- E thinks I should write a list of parenting tips from 123 Magic by Thomas W. Phelan, PhD. I'll make that list as soon as it starts working on S.
- S thinks I should make a list of things she knows that I don't. I'm starting to recognize a pattern here.
- E thinks I should review books I've read recently.
- S suggested a list of stupid things that Donald Trump does. Sorry, kids. I don't think I can limit my list to 13 things.
- R says I should write a list of Alohomoras. I'm told this will be a short list, since there only exists 1 of whatever-these-things-are in the world.
- S says I should write a list of colors of poop. Unfortunately, I could make a pretty long list for that one.
- S says a list of recipes I won't let my kids cook.
- E wants me to write a list of places I want to go and information about those places. She might be my favorite.
- S wants me to write a list of things E doesn't want me to know. E insists that I don't disclose the items S would put on that list.
- E says, "Mom, what's something you know a lot about? Like housecleaning or something. Write a list of advice on that." Aw, honey. I appreciate your misplaced confidence.
- R says I should write a list of wands. If you can't tell, he's a little Harry Potter obsessed right now.
- The kids couldn't agree on who should contribute the last list idea, so #13 will include one from each of them. See if you can guess who contributed what: 1. A list of fun things to do with your children. 2. A list of fun things to do with wands. 3. A list of things R has ruined.
So which kid said what? I love hearing from you!
ps. E says I'm good at lots of things, like snuggling and writing. Just so you know.

Mark Gonzalez's 75th-minute goal put Chile on the brink of the second round with a 1-0 win over Switzerland. A fussy referee produced eight yellow cards and sent off Valron Behrami for an elbow on Arturo Vidal.
Gonzalez, formerly of Liverpool but now at CSKA Moscow, struck with 15 minutes remaining as Switzerland, reduced to ten men when Behrami was sent off before the break, finally succumbed at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth.
His goal will send the South Americans into their final Group H clash with Spain knowing a point will be enough to take them through to the knockout stages.
Switzerland, looking to build upon their shock victory over the Spaniards, found themselves up against it even before their numbers were reduced.
Goalkeeper Diego Benaglio had to make a fine double save from Arturo Vidal and Carlos Carmona with just ten minutes gone, and he was in the right place at the right time five minutes before the break when Alexis Sanchez toe-poked a shot towards goal with his defenders once again conspicuous by their absence.
In the meantime their task had increased markedly when Behrami, having tangled with Jean Beausejour, did so with Vidal and saw the midfielder go to ground clutching his face. Referee Khalil Al Ghamdi had little hesitation in producing a red card and the Swiss were very much on the back foot.
In truth, they had been already for much of the first half with Chile's midfield trio of Vidal, Carmona – who will miss the final group game against Spain after picking up a second booking – and Matias Ferrnandez repeatedly causing problems.
Switzerland offered little in response and skipper Alex Frei, who missed the opening game through injury, departed before the break having struggled to make an impact.
Sanchez in particular made a nuisance of himself as the South Americans stepped up a gear in the wake of Behrami's exit, although the Swiss just about held firm.
Chile thought they had taken the lead within three minutes of the restart when Sanchez blasted home a shot with the help of a significant deflection, but an offside flag correctly halted his celebrations in their infancy.
Benaglio needed to be at his best once again with 55 minutes gone when defender Stephane Grichting gifted the ball to Sanchez, who raced in on goal but could not beat the goalkeeper one-on-one.
Half-time substitute Gonzalez headed over from a Fernandez corner but, as the game became increasingly bad-tempered, Fernandez, who will also miss the Spain game, Gokhan Inler and Gary Medel were all cautioned in quick succession.
Grichting made a fine 69th-minute block to deny substitute Esteban Paredes, but it was he who did the damage with 15 minutes remaining when he rounded Benaglio and crossed for Gonzalez to power a downward header in off the underside of the bar.
The lively Paredes might have doubled his side's advantage twice within the final six minutes but was unable to hit the target on either occasion, and Swiss substitute Eren Derdiyok passed up a glorious opportunity to level with seconds remaining when he fired wide.
from: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=264076&cc=3888&ver=global
Mark González was born on July 10th, 1984 according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Gonzalez
July 10th
7 + 10 2+0+0+9 = 28 = his personal year (from July 10th, 2009 to July 9th, 2010) = Hero. Unstoppable.

Fantastic Four 100 by Jack Kirby
After a minute or two, we went back to our game. Here you see what I consider the best of a bad lot, some of the interiors. And a great cover (Well, my copy's not so great--for one thing, the Hulk has a big crease on his back, and we all know, "Nobody give Hulk crease on his back!")
Jack's alter-ego, The Thing, sums it up great in one of these panels, if I sub one word, "Hey! What's goin' on here? The whole blamed comic is comin' apart!"
As the poet once said: Not with a bang, but a whimper

Jaguar Unveils its Production SUV the F-PACE
Jaguar just unveiled its first ever SUV and the automaker made it very clear that the vehicle's set for production and heading to a dealership near you sometime in the near future. A concept vehicle was unveiled way back in 2013, but the automaker put the real deal on display over this past week, and it's an impressive vehicle to say the least.
Keeping Up with the Competition
With Jaguar sales beginning to lag a bit it's taking measures to keep up with most of the other automakers in the industry who all sell some form of SUV. Even companies like Lamborghini and Rolls Royce have announced plans to produce their own SUVs, following in the footsteps of automakers like Porsche who is doing quite well with its two different SUV offerings.
Different than Land Rover SUV
What's surprising about Jaguar producing an SUV is that it's all Land Rover does. Both automakers are owned by the same company, Tata Motors of India, and they would almost be competing against one another by Jaguar entering the production race. But just as a Range Rover and the Porsche Macan don't really compete with one another much, neither will Land Rover vehicles and a Jaguar SUV, because they have very different purposes. Sure they're both designed to travel around stylishly and comfortably, but the Jaguar SUV is clearly going to have a sporty stance, while Land Rover favors a more rugged quality in its vehicles. That's the key difference that will let SUVs from both automakers thrive alongside one another.
A Sporty SUV
The Jaguar F-PACE SUV is going to take design characteristics from the F-TYPE sports car giving it an edgy look that stands out as clearly Jaguar. While it won't be brimming with as much power as the automaker's F-TYPE sports car is thanks to the ultra-light body of the vehicle, it's still going to have enough strength to be a blast to drive around, and it will have that distinctive Jaguar edge to it that stands out so much.
New Technologies
The F-PACE will be the very first Jaguar vehicle that offers automatic braking that will help the vehicle stop when a collision is detected up ahead. The vehicle will also come with sign detection and will update drivers on the speed limit by reading signs and tapping into GPS data that it has available.
Multiple Engine Options
When the F-PACE is released, it's going to come with either a 340 HP or 380 HP V6 engine. Each option is supercharged to generate enough power. There's also a 4-cylinder diesel option that offers 140 HP for those who want something a bit more economical that's still packed with plenty of torque. The top version will go from 0 to 60 in just slightly over five seconds.
This SUV marks a big change for Jaguar, and hopefully enough success for the automaker to fund a bunch of awesome new sports cars, that's exactly how things are working for Porsche lately.
