... the Gainesville event might be the final culmination of the age of hijackers, where a small group's manipulation of a powerful vehicle has far-reaching disastrous effects. Only in this case, the vehicle is the Qur'an, not an airplane. And the manipulation need only be virtual. Never has book burning been so effective without even occurring. Symbolic actions on the internet and their consequences in the real world now occur almost simultaneously. And the threat of a symbolic gesture and an actual one become one and the same.
Let me go even one step further. One could even say that the suggestion of book-burning is the only possible form of effective action today—far more effective than the book burning itself. In the twenty-first century it is virtually impossible (pun intended) to destroy books as a way of entirely eradicating a class of information, as Diocletian and many other emperors wanted to do. This is impossible to do because books are no longer physical objects but also electronic ones. It is also impossible to do because even electronic destruction may not be effective. At best, no matter how widespread a computer virus (a contemporary version of book-burning), there is no guarantee that such destruction would be complete.
Iconic books are texts revered as objects of power rather than just as words of instruction, information, or insight. In religious and secular rituals around the globe, people carry, show, wave, touch and kiss books and other texts, as well as read them. This blog chronicles such events and activities. (For more about iconic books, see the links to the Iconic Books Project at left.)

Virtual Book Burning and Its Consequences
Posted by Jim Watts
On Religion Dispatches, Laurie Patton uses the idea of iconic books to meditate on last week's Virtual Book Burning and Its Consequences. She notes as I did in my last post that Pastor Terry Jones played on long-established tropes of book-burning that go back to antiquity. But she also points out the new effects of media and electronic communication:

Swiss RoomBox: Home on Board
Inspired by the multi-functionality of the Swiss Army Knife, creative designers from misC sport & leisure developed the Swiss RoomBox. The RoomBox's "Home on Board" is a modern approach to travelling. It features a modular system that allows users to cook, eat, sleep, shower and wash right in the cargo space of their car. Setup and pack-up take less than 30 minutes with no tools required. The system is equipped with built-in gas burners, and a camp sink that also serves as an outdoor shower with curtains. In addition to being used as storage, the boxes provide a comfortable platform for two people to sleep on. During the day, the transformability of these boxes allows them to become tables for dining within minutes. Swiss RoomBox is considered as the world's smallest motorhome setup and can be installed in most cars without any modifications necessary. Video:

Microsoft purchased Nokia Lumia phones some time ago. Thank God Nokia got rid of those not-so-well-working Lumias. The deal between Microsoft and Nokia is coming to end. Nokia is allowed to start phone business of their own again January 1st 2016. It's time for Nokia look forward and take their share of the global phone business.
It won't ever be the same as it used to be. No phone factories in Finland, no new jobs. Nokia will be manufacturing their new phones in far east i.e. China, South Korea. That is disappointing. However, there are others making it big for example in Europe. Take a look at Raspberry Pi. Those tiny well-selling computers are made in Wales (I guess?). Raspies are inexpensive and popular. They are selling very well. This goes to show it's possible to succeed even though manufacturing is European. Adafruit Industries is another example. An enterprise situated in Manhattan, New York, USA is selling electronics which the experts said was not possible because of the Chinese domination.
Nokia will probably choose Android as their platform for mobile phones. Android is free (of charge), widely supported and very popular around the world. But will Nokia succeed with their new phones? There are, as we all know, so many other brands out there. I guess Nokia will face some hard times when trying to access the global phone market again. It won't be easy. My hint is: Nokia, why not introduce 360 camera embedded in your Android phone? That way you'll beat others in no time.

Jamila Woods Debuts The Smooth Groove "Giovanni" At SXSW
With SXSW in full swing, it is all about the music and the artists we love making memories for us and others. Last night, Jamila Woods, who is absolutely one of our faves, held the audience at the Mazda Studio at Austin's Empire Garage in the pal of her hands as she debuted a brand new song called, "Giovanni," which you can watch below.
The emotively warm stroll through a summer breeze-filled beat is impactful and imbued with Jamila Woods' signature soulful sounds. "There must be a reason why / There must be a reason," she croons as the enthusiastic group of audiophiles sway from right to left. "I'm so nice, so nice / You can't not smile when I smile / And I cry, I cry / It's just the rain so I can grow," Jamila sings, showing her brave face in the midst of agonizing pain.
The event was put together by Stereogum who also featured the New Pornographers and Hand Habits during its daytime showcase. There's no word what "Giovanni" might appear on, but we will keep you all in the loop as more develops.
Until then, please check out Jamila Woods' new effort, "Giovanni," below and if you haven't heard her debut full-length, HEAVN, please do yourself a favor and listen to it immediately.

Hey! I'm Alexandra.
I'm a left-handed human who is a hug enthusiast and day dreamer living in Monterrey, Mexico. I have always had a special interest with patterns. It all started as a child, playing by myself with everything I could find. It could be bottle caps one day and fallen leaves the other. It had always be part of me. Those days creating objects, houses, and entire imaginary cities made out of useless things reappeared in college as an interest on design.
I studied Interior Design at CEDIM. Graduated in 2010.
I worked at my own interior design studio for the past 4.5 years, specializing on residential design. My projects, in a more architectural way, had textures and patterns as a key element in the space. An important part of my work as an interior designer has always been to integrate textures and prints into the spaces to make rich, vivid, and cozy places. Textures in walls, floors, upholstery, decor, and art. In 2017 I decided it was time to pursue my long time dream and become a full-time surface designer.
I always carry my notebook for a quick sketch if an idea pops into my mind or if I stumble upon an interesting motif. I always start in paper to later digitize the pattern in Illustrator and occasionally in Photoshop to give it more texture. Most of my patterns are inspired by nature, but I also enjoy exploring new topics. I play with abstract themes and repeats but also with figurative forms, or something in between.
Let's connect & create something together!

Big Richard is thrilled to hear you say, "the use of condoms can be justified in some cases." We couldn't agree more. Especially if these 'cases' involve fun, healthy, happy sex.

A solid start in the non-conference schedule followed up by an abysmal 0-11 start in Big East play has had me questioning the direction of the program in Chris Mullin's third year at the helm of the St. John's men's basketball program.
Yes, I'm aware St. John's has been ravaged by injuries. Yes, I understand it takes time to put together a winner, but the question I raised to athletic director Anton Goff last Tuesday at a This Is Queensborough-Queens Chamber networking event at the university is how exactly is progress being made when you are winless in the Big East?
Even when circumstances are not going according to plan, 11 straight conference losses is going to be tough to digest for a good majority of fans, alums and media members like myself.
The Red Storm needed a moment. Their fans needed a moment to maybe provide that glimmer of hope that brighter days are ahead .
That moment was Saturday in a shocking 81-77 upset over the fourth-ranked team in the country, the Duke Blue Devils, in front of a raucous Madison Square Garden crowd.
Finally, down the stretch of a game the Johnnies were able to deliver, which is something they were unable to do against the likes of Villanova and Xavier earlier this season.
To hear the Garden roar, to see St. John's come through on the grand stage is long over due.
It was one of those moments and wins that allows you to dream of what this program could potentially be.
Hats off, but it's one win.
Remember, in Chris Mullin's first yea, St. Johns destroyed a Syracuse team back in 2015 that found their way to the Final Four in March.
One individual win in the regular season does not make a college hoops program. St. John's needs to parlay this win into momentum in the offseason.
Let's face it, in the short term St. John's is not going to be able to salvage much of this 2017-2018 season.
However, a young team with a young coach and returning talent next season can use the rest of this year to piggyback on success moving forward.
Learn how to win the close games, figure out how to win in the conference, and maybe that progress that I've been searching for within the program will finally be evident on the floor on a night-in, night-out basis.
Let's hope the Duke win is the start of that progress.
You can listen to me on Friday, Sunday & Monday from 1 to 6 a.m. & Tuesday from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. on WFAN Sports Radio 660/1019 FM. You can also listen to me on Saturday from 2 to 6 a.m. on CBS Sports Radio.

The concept of science reasonable has been come down to us from European education pattern and their expansion of culture. They firstly considered " Science reasonable will have to be based mostly on creative imagination by cultivating expertise and intelligence of the learners". Indeed, science reasonable desires to be introduced in distinctive educational institutions by taking into consideration its pedagogical phenomena based mostly on simple expertise and abilities. That's why, there is no alternate of simple expertise to attain right education in the industry of Science and Technologies and that's why the measures for science reasonable is required as a taken of creative imagination and recognition for acquiring expertise among the the pupils. That's why, the measures for science reasonable in the educational institute are ideally envisaged and contemporary.
In our place, each individual yr science reasonable is held in distinctive educational institute yearly to make motivation of exploration do the job and enthusiasm. The teachers initial acquire the names and listing them that they will make a undertaking based mostly on science and engineering. The pupils who are observed fascinated to introduce a new science do the job choose a obstacle and develop into able of showing a distinctive resourceful do the job. He selects a undertaking and thinks more than the do the job and the nature of engineering behind it. Basically, he gets liable of inventing some thing like a scientist. So, it is observed off and on that the pupils are staying ready to show a awesome presentation in science reasonable. He from time to time shows some thing distinctive from contemporary age. They can undertaking from historic and mediaeval age.
The authority of distinctive colleges and colleges arrange science reasonable in buy to show the eagerness of genuine expertise and abilities among the the pupils. At this, a congenial atmosphere is made in the establishment for the reason that, they are regarding their heads about new inventions and discovery and they develop into acutely aware of awakening their suggestions and views. In the context of Bangladesh, each individual yr distinctive colleges and colleges arrange science reasonable. They initial invite names from the fascinated pupils who are inclined to make the undertaking do the job and to target it in the science reasonable. They, like the scientists carry on exploration do the job like creating law, hypothesis and principle. They request respective suggestions from distinctive guides and the achievement of scientists of the world. At previous they present their creative imagination and consequently a systematic undertaking is mirrored.
Arranging science reasonable is a significant action of distinctive educational institutions by way of which an intensified effort is led to prosper and enrich the expertise and abilities on application of science for the pupils. It is hoped in future that the measures to arrange science reasonable is a predominating requirements to fortify the cultivation of expertise in applying the definitive feeling of technical know- how of science. A science reasonable is really distinctive from other fairs existing in our place like a village reasonable and an industrial reasonable and so on. These fairs provide the intent of the company where by the commodities of qualitative nature are marketed and displayed for creating profit in issue. Listed here, the commodities are served in the current market in such a fashion, where by the organizations great will and the nature and high quality of item are vividly disclosed so that the folks are significantly attracted to buy it to a wonderful extent. Moreover this, in organizing science reasonable, the company value is not dealt with as the key element somewhat the pedagogical manifestation to equipment up the intensity and potentiality of the pupils is provided precedence. Basically, the eagerness for understanding the not known world is mirrored and a improved environment is flourished among the the pupils in any educational institute where by science and engineering are studied thoroughly. Even though, there has been delivered a large selection to the pupils in European international locations for generating a wide based mostly undertaking as a section of their education. The pupils who are observed attracted for studying technological abilities and expertise frequently shines in existence by contributing a good deal in the industry of education. For science reasonable, the adhering to items are critical:
• Natural environment: Like western place, appropriate environment is required where by vital devices will engage in a very important function. In a lot of cases, only theoretical teachings are offered beside simple expertise and abilities. It is a make a difference of wonderful regret that the pupils are deprived of attaining genuine expertise in the appropriate industry. Moreover this, technological instruments will need to be placed in distinctive institutions so that the utilization of people devices are effectively produced in a systematic fashion.
• Awareness and abilities relating to science reasonable: The teacher ought to select a quantity of topics ahead of allocating on the undertaking do the job to the pupils and they ought to give expertise on the measures of spreading and analyzing the topics in issue. He ought to interact himself in generating recognition and vital abilities in the industry of the application of mathematical model of science based mostly on constructive exploration of contemporary appliances. The teacher ought to established challenges on serious existence problem like making a model of the appropriate topics. The challenges will have to be based mostly on pretty much oriented which established forth the topics masking science and its technological facets of nature. Assuming in a instructing classroom, on Modern-day and electronic physics is going on. The pupils are sensation tedious for the reason that the teacher was not effectively dressed and effectively rested. Somewhat he has arrived late and he has not greeted them. Some pupils do not realize his lecture. He is running quickly. He is not determining and aiding the a lot less ready pupils. In this situation, despite his sound expertise in the appropriate industry of contemporary physics, he might not be dealt with as a great teacher. Henry Fayol defines a teacher as an lively university student of the pupils who can engage in really significantly desirable and fascinate function upon all round performances in the course. An ideal teacher desires to engage in a very important function in lively advisor among the the pupils. He desires to be very careful about the requirements on Regulate, Guideline, Check with and Aid. He ought to have significant studying working experience with which he can produce constructive and mathematical presentation for generating recognition for instructing in a significant fashion.
Currently being a science teacher, his mind-set might differ in accordance to the nature of the students' subject space and to substantiate the genuine abilities. He desires to be really very careful in making use of his voice for efficient instructing. In our place, in a lot of cases, the mom and dad relating to performance of the teacher lodge grievances. A great teacher will need not be energized and agitated in direction of the pupils. He ought to give opportunity to check with issue to the pupils so that transfer of behaviour is produced probable in a significant fashion. In accordance to Franchise Bacon, there are two styles of studying: Just one is Pedagogy- kid's studying and the other is Andragoggy- Grownup studying. In situation of grownup studying, we simply cannot teach any person, we only enable him or her to master. So in the situation of making use of our voice we will need to be liable and tactful.
That is to say, a teacher's behaviour will be in such, which will have to bring in the pupils for efficient and efficient shipping of the appropriate topics.
In offering lecture on the topics of science, there are limitations, which might make hindrance to studying on the section of the pupils. At times the lecture might be monotonous and tedious owing to continuous stating and without the need of emphasising simple orientation and presentation on the applicability of science and engineering. If there exists dryness amongst the pupils, the teacher ought to alter the plan of his lecture. He ought to check with open up-ended inquiries. Open up ended inquiries enable get the pupils included. Assuming to know a certain thing, a single might get fascinated if he is meant to know people certain merchandise. In a lot of cases, it is observed that the teachers are not effectively knowledgeable and they have no significant studying working experience to show the genuine respond to of the challenge and the topics. Even, without the need of adequate abilities and expertise, they are appointed as teacher which is absolutely insignificant. Some of the limitations of offering a lecture are as follows:
To check with issue for 'Yes'/ No respond to.
Not to check with open up ended issue to get folks included.
Not to use agitated words and phrases
Not to say continuously though offering lecture
Not to check with significant inquiries
To check with several issue at a time
Not to give opinions on solutions by yourself, or include other people
Not to give folks a opportunity to take up the issue and respond to it.
Not to welcome solutions
To be significant in answering and asking inquiries.
An ideal science teacher desires to be effectively conversant about making use of the language. It is indispensable to make recognition and congenial atmosphere on the section of a teacher. The adhering to are the distinctive ways to strengthen lecture.
To control intersperse lecture with possibilities to obstacle and talk about what is staying sent. In situation of significant challenge, he desires to synchronise and simplify it so that the genuine topics develop into straightforward and comprehensible.
To split the pupils into groups for exercises which build lecture themes and will need to be described again and analysed. Especially, in presenting nuclear and magnetic topics, he desires to show it with vital apparatus and appropriate calculations.
To use situation scientific tests, which obstacle pupils to utilize the instructing, they are staying provided. Generally, chapter intelligent topics are required to diversify to present the topics on simple themes and critics.
To use Movie report instructing periods and analyse development and benefits.
To use function-plays to exhibit illustrations of what is stated in lectures.
To split into groups which analyse the days lecture topic and give a resume of it on same / up coming working day.
To be prepared to facilitate and contribute to conversations and enable groups prepare opinions.

Self will agent
Concerning the instructing process, the adhering to are critical to utilize in instructing the pupils virtually.
Telling is not instructing
Age is not a bar to master

Repeat, Recap and Critique
Visible Hearing and Experience and F-ULLER
In see of the higher than, a great teacher selects any process to teach the pupils but in accordance to Franchise Bacon, most of the great teachers select the sixth Rule of instructing that is ' Repeat, Recap, Critique ' which is the most critical a single to make the instructing vitally efficient, significant, fruitful and up to the mark
The motives in assistance of the argument are stated as follows.
Repeat: In accordance to Franchise Bacon, 'when you tell some thing in the course to a group of pupils, it is only a stating but when you recapitulate it, repeat it and check with the issue on the development, it will be interacted and if you further more emphasize the concept, they will be conversant with the appropriate knowledge'. Indeed, incase of offering an critical information, if it is stated the moment-only ten% will be memorized but if it is stated six occasions then 90% are memorized following a single yr. So, reiteration/repetition is the most critical resources for the instructing to make the topics rememberable. If the information is not remembered and comprehensible then the entire thing will be dealt with as worthless.
Recap: It is frequently intended by recap to go more than again the very important place of the appropriate contents. Using FULLE-R and VHF for improved memorization can do the recap. As the initial occasions are finest memorized so to begin with big information. Thereafter unconventional party like cartoon, work out etcetera. be employed. Thirdly, linked party, listed here mnemonics or analogy can be employed and last of all to conclusion with big messages of fascination in direction of the topics. In this context, summing up the suggestions to get there the summary that is the gist in issue to be communicated to the pupils as a great communicator of the instructing course. We ought to recall a single thing that ' Telling is not instructing we will need to make instructing lively and exciting get pupils included see it from the student's see we ought to use VHF and Full-R. In accordance to Commoneus, a well known educationist, for an efficient instructing, 'only lecture is immaterial but in buy to ornament it for improved memorization, ideal technique, demonstration, visible display screen and types of points of interest of the pupils are needed'
Critique: A proverb generally goes like ' To err is human'. It is human nature to forget the items/information, which is not reviewed that are we getting rid of what we do not overview. To overview we are to often sum up where by we have achieved and invited inquiries.
At the conclusion of each individual topics if the teacher repeats, recap and overview, check with inquiries and enable them to respond to effectively, the trainees will be a lot more enthusiastic and conversant with the topics and grasp it effectively so that instructing will be efficient and fruitful.
In see of the higher than, it is noticeable that the function of teachers for science education simply cannot be dismissed. The expansion of science reasonable is unavoidable in the area of simple oriented sort of teachings where by a university student will reach right expertise in generating constructive undertaking do the job that will be eventually handy for the place. If the educational institutions emphasise technological facets on science, the integrity to do the job in the industry of science and its application of science reasonable will be improved intensively. As a outcome the place will be significantly benefited in owing feeling of engineering.

- Scott = 3+15+18+20+20 = 77
Another coincidence? Possibly.
The numbers 33 and 77 are very much connected to Freemasonry; they are two of the most important.
- Knights of Templar = 77
- Knight = 33

The OnePlus One has been notoriously difficult to acquire, no doubt frustrating some would-be customers, but those present troubles aren't stopping OnePlus from looking to the future.
The latest OnePlus Two rumors, from GizChina, peg the One successor with a 5.5-inch display and a Snapdragon 810 chip, plus 4GB of RAM, a 3300mAh battery and Android 5.0 Lollipop.
That would be the same size as the OnePlus One's display, but word this time is that the OnePlus Two's resolution will be bumped up to 2560 x 1440 - in other words, quad HD.
It's unclear where the site got this info, so take it with a side of salt.
Certainty and surprises
But the OnePlus Two is definitely happening - it's only a matter of waiting until the second or third quarter of 2015 at this point, as OnePlus team members revealed on Reddit last fall.
OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei said in January that the OnePlus Two will "surprise people," and although it's not clear yet exactly how we're hoping it's not with the Snapdragon 810's rumored overheating.

Early this year, we let you know that the Starfinder Adventure Path is going monthly starting in August, starting with the 3-volume campaign Against the Aeon Throne. While that Adventure Path is perfect for heroes who want to strike a solid blow against the sinister Azlanti Star Empire when they unlawfully annex a Pact Worlds colony, it will be over by November! We mentioned that we will be returning to the 6-volume Adventure Path format in February of 2019, but we have yet to say what's going on in between.
Well, witness as the shadows part to reveal terrible, twisted forms and soft clink of chains. I am so excited—rapturously so—to preach unto to you of the beautiful pain to be found within the Signal of Screams Adventure Path. It all begins when the heroes are treated to an all-expenses-paid vacation to New Elysium, a posh resort on a remote asteroid in the Diaspora. Things slowly begin to go awry, as all good things eventually do, and they will have to protect themselves and some of the other guests from a creeping madness infecting both the staff and the facility. Eventually, their adventures will take them to the Darkside of Verces and beyond as they struggle to overcome the architects of this affliction before it spreads to the rest of the Pact Worlds... and possibly into their souls!
Paizo's very own Chris Sims is writing the first adventure, "The Diaspora Strain," which is for 7th-level characters. That's right, your heroes can go straight from Against the Aeon Throne to Signal of Screams once they return to the Pact Worlds. After all, they deserve a bit of R&R after escaping from Azlanti space with their lives! This volume also includes a new system of corruption that will plague your heroes throughout the campaign written by yours truly, as well as advice for running horror campaigns in the Starfinder RPG written by Epidiah Ravachol, author of the incredibly popular indie RPG Dread.
It's going to be such a scream! From your players, of course.

Most of us won't expect a local news station's Easter broadcast to be that interesting. So viewers of Knoxville, Tennessee's WBIR-TV must have been in for a big surprise when they saw two bunnies on the anchors' news desk getting it on. Nope, we're not kidding.
The news anchors didn't appear to have been expecting it either. Even though the WBIR-TV broadcast appeared to have started right after the bunnies had already started engaging in coitus, they seemed taken aback. "Oh, wait a second. He can't do that up here," said the male anchor on the right. "They can be up here but — okay — that shit — you've got to stop that, Maura!" he added in reference to the female anchor in the middle. "Let's go to this!"
As the camera changes to another picture, the anchors unsuccessfully try to control their laughter. When the camera shoots back to the news desk, one of the rabbits is gone and the other one is searching for him. We assume that by then, the two lovers had been abruptly pulled away from each other.
The anchor closes the broadcast with, "We will announce the third rabbit's name in nine months. Have a terrific day and a great Easter."
Watch the clip below to get a shot of the NSFW (sort of) action.
This isn't the first time this Easter that an animal has done something funny on a news desk. Last Thursday, a Pomeranian known as the "Handstand Dog" made an appearance on the Good Morning America news desk. The dog, which also had a part in Katy Perry's music video for "Dark Horse," distractedly walked around the news desk, and raised its paws and hid its face on command.
Watch the clip below for even more cuteness without the NSFW part.
We can all now thank the Internet for always being able to give us these tidbits of amusement when we least expect it. Still, we think WBIR-TV wins the gold for most awkward broadcast with animals ever.

The Air Canada Centre in Toronto, ON
November 24, 2012
Review by: Laura Eley
Photos by: Allison Janzen
The all-Canadian line-up fills one of Canada's largest venues.
Humans like you and me crave authenticity. And, whether its by way of food or apparel or music, we seek out other humans baring all (figuratively and literally) for our eager judgments with hopes to satisfy those cravings. And so, with judging eyes ablaze, I set out last Saturday night to take in Metric and Stars at Toronto's Air Canada Centre.
First, let me say this: As a fellow Canuck, I found myself beaming like a proud grandmother at her grandchild's birth, simply because of the venue. The ACC? Mick Jagger, The Spice Girls, and Madonna have all danced across that covered rink, and it was really special to see Canadians headlining, opening, and filling that massive space.
Metric rolled in at a quarter past nine and dove straight into their latest album, Synthetica. Opening with the ascending "Artificial Nocturne", their relaxed uniformity, likely due to their fourteen years together. became immediately apparent. Moving in rehearsed unison beneath the blue, geometric stage lights that resembled a giant game of Pac-Man, it became more and more clear that this group has "arrived". Yes, they've played big shows before, and yes they've been nominated for some pretty prestigious awards. But until you can take such a huge stage and own it with your music and performance, you're not ready for an arena.
Lead singer Emily Haines sparkled as the pseudo Pac-Man, and offered up Richard Simmons-worthy dance moves as she bounced around guitarist James Shaw and bassist Joshua Winstead. Sailing right along, the band crisply recreated hits "Youth Without Youth", "Speed the Collapse", and "Help, I'm Alive". They pumped an electric energy that filled the space around Haines' beautifully distinct voice - a voice which, by the way, sounds amazing live. As the crowd stood from their seats and shouted out lyrics, camaraderie spread and could only have benefitted from more stage interaction. But with a well-earned following, many of whom were undoubtedly repeat attendees, Metric knew exactly what they were stepping into, and how to play it.
Opening for Metric was the equally-loved Stars who, though they live in Montreal, are all Toronto natives. Calm, cool, and collected, they make the sort of mellow, art-making music you can listen to forever. The band itself is comprised of five members that shrunk the stage into a living-room sized party, but whose passion and energy was so powerful that it became an extension of the crowd. Humble and lucid, this group and their fans will still be around when they're rocking dentures.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (CBSDC/AP) — U.S. Sen. Rand Paul said Wednesday that "the ball is moving forward" on immigration reform despite the surprise defeat of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in the Virginia primary.
Cantor lost to Dave Brat, a little-known economics professor whose campaign focused largely on his opposition to immigration reform. Cantor's defeat had some wondering if it would be difficult for the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives to pass immigration reform.
But Paul said a number of issues contributed to Cantor's defeat, including his past votes to raise the debt ceiling and the controversy surrounding the National Security Administration's domestic spying program. He noted the easy primary victory of U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, an author of an immigration bill that failed to pass the House last year.
"It's a mistake to … decide that one issue decided this," Paul told reporters on a Wednesday morning conference call organized by the Partnership for a New American Economy, a pro-immigration reform group. "Some people, myself included, think that you can go too far negative. And apparently millions of dollars in negative ads were run and it may well have increased the name identification of a lesser known candidate – a lesser known candidate who also had a lot of popular things to say on other issues."
Paul, a potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate, has been actively trying to expand the Republican Party by making it attractive to minorities — and immigration reform is part of that strategy. But Paul acknowledged Wednesday that immigration remains a tricky area for Republicans, including himself.
For example, Paul voted against the Senate's bipartisan immigration bill last year because he said it did not do enough to secure the border and it did not provide enough work visas. That bill passed the Senate but has stalled in the House.
"I've been someone who is for the concept of immigration reform. I'm very, very careful that I want to vote for something that works," he said.
Paul said Republicans have become "somewhat trapped by rhetoric and words" – including amnesty.
"We're trapped in a word that means different things to different people," he said. "We have to get beyond that. But I think the ball is moving forward, and it is complicated."
One such complication, Paul said, is what to do with immigrants who served in the United States military.
"Do I have sympathy if you served in our military, that we ought to find a place for you in our country? Absolutely," he said. "But do I want to send a signal to everybody in Mexico that if you come join our military you get to be a citizen? That's a bad signal."
Sen. Lindsey Graham also pushed for continued immigration reform following Cantor's loss, saying it would be a mistake to scuttle it.
"It's not a Democratic issue. It's an American issue. It's a national security issue," Graham said. "For God's sake, let's fix immigration before it destroys our economy, our culture and leads to another 9/11-type attack."

In our last blog (Born in a Pool Hall), we talked about the benefits of using an escrow agent to handle funds in aircraft transactions (and pool halls). But there is more to escrow than just taking care of money. There are documents involved as well. Lots of them.
Documents in Escrow
With buyers, sellers, lenders, attorneys, brokers, dealers, and anyone else involved in aircraft transactions these days, located often around the globe, it can be difficult to manage all the documents that need to be signed and filed at the FAA in time for a closing. Imagine if a seller in California mailed a bill of sale to the FAA at the same time a buyer in Texas mailed his app. What would happen if that app arrived and was filed at the FAA first? What about security agreements? Do you think a bank would ever agree to loan money on an aircraft if they were told the release of the previous lien was "in the mail"? What if – Heaven forbid – the release got lost in the mail? Or a bill of sale? The FAA records can be convoluted enough without having issues like these wreaking even more havoc.
Filing and Recording Documents
Furthermore, FAA Rules and Regs for recording of documents is extensive. If you don't know or understand the system and just send a document directly to the FAA, chances are good that it will be rejected. Fixing a rejected document is a lot harder than one might think. It is always cheaper and easier to file it right the first time.
FAA Response Times
The FAA stays pretty busy processing all the documents that are filed in its offices on a daily basis. Sending out filing times for documents they receive by mail is not a priority. So, when mailing documents directly to the FAA, it might take up to 6 weeks (at least) to hear anything back, and the notice you get might not be what you want to hear. 6-8 weeks after you've bought your plane is a not a great time to find out you don't really own it, or you're not allowed to fly it anymore.
Efficiency of Escrow
Along with holding funds, therefore, escrow agents also take care of important closing documents. Instead of shipping directly to the FAA, parties to a transaction can send documents to escrow agents to hold for closing. The agents review the documents for errors, helping to insure they are in proper form to be recorded by the FAA. They can then date them at closing, and file them with the FAA – in the order necessary to properly release old liens, transfer title to the new owner, and file a new lien in favor of the current lender. The agents can then provide immediate filing times to the all the parties involved and notify them when their documents have been properly recorded.
Using a qualified escrow agent can really help streamline the closing process and make everyone's life a lot easier. It is difficult to imagine what Aircraft closings and titles would look like without escrow agents guiding the process.

The forecast is done by summation of popular solutions such as financial management, transport management, Student Information System(SIS), Human Resource (HR)/ payroll, placement management, enrollment and admissions.
As we have already mentioned, the growth of Educational ERP is still in its infant stage. A lot of educational institutes lack the funds to implement the ERP solution. For example, it is in growth stage in the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Latin America. The reason behind the slow adoption is that most of the K-12 schools really are not ready to change to technological growth.
So, why there is an overall growth of educational ERP? The answer lies in the benefits of installing the ERP solution. The returns are huge and no school wants to miss out the opportunity to take a big leap with the ERP.
Another reason why the ERP school adoption is slowing down is the availability of new administrative systems. Insufficient funds are also one reason why schools are not ready to adopt the ERPs. There is also a projection in the decline of the educational ERP in developed countries such as UK, Canada and US.
With so many negatives, the market will grow from USD 6.40 billion in 2015 to 14.22 billion by 2020. The numbers are presented by MarketsandMarkets. The CAGR during the forecast period is around 17.3%.
The forecast is done with various assumptions including the market size and the impact of exchange rates in a long run.

Having faced ever-increasing competition from the New World for decades, the European wine sector will eventually have to battle with China in the international wine market, a new just-drinks report has warned.
However, for the time being, according to the report, rising domestic consumption means China's value as a market "offering huge export potential" outweighs the challenge the country's expanding wine industry may pose on the world wine stage.
Wine consumption in China has grown by 57% over the past ten years to 17.8bn hectolitres in 2012, 'The Post-Recessionary Face of the West European Wine Market' states. "At the same time imports have grown exponentially."
China only exports around 100,000 hectolitres of wine a year, but the country is now one of the top ten wine producers and consumers in the world. "The country presents little threat currently to the world wine trade but a time will come where production exceeds domestic needs thereby adding to the growing competition faced by Western Europe on the world stage."
The prospect of competition from China represents a further challenge to the European wine sector which has seen its share of the world wine market decline steadily. According to the report, in 1995 France, Italy and Spain combined accounted for 52% of the global wine supply. By 2005, that contribution had dropped to 50% and now stands at 44%. "European viticulture is facing intensifying competition through a mix of increasing trade liberalization and the rise of the New World wine producers," the report states.

The time has changed and so do moods. Setting the clocks back last night may have given us an extra hour of sleep this morning but it won't offset the loss of an hour of afternoon light in the days to come.
Light is a powerful antidepressant and mood booster, and so is getting away, even if it's a for micro-break. Travel has been scientifically proven to make people happier, promote endorphin-releasing activity, and reduce stress and the risk heart disease, according to a Cornell University study.
But according to a new expedia.ca study, more than half of us are vacation deprived, up from last year. According to Mary Zajac, of expedia.ca, on average, Canadian workers get 17 vacation days and don't use them up! It's estimated that more than 40 million vacation days will go unused in 2018!
Feeling vacation deprived is on the rise globally at 58%, and at home, but the good news is that 55% of Canadians are boosting their mental health with a few micro-breaks throughout the year. Zajak reports that millennials lead the way in integrating short weekend trips into their schedules at 58%.
While eight days has been deemed the ideal length of time for positive holiday health benefits, according to a Finland study, some time away is better than no time away. "The survey revealed that Canadians felt better about themselves, held more confidence, and also believed they were better able to solve problems following a vacation," says Beverly Beuermann-King, a Canadian work-life balance expert at worksmartlivesmart.com.
"Micro-breaks or mini vacations can be very powerful in allowing us to reset. They can restore our energy, increase our productivity and provide an overall better outlook on life," she says.
Fit in a break before you break down with tips from Beuemann-King:
* Keep your travel time short. Ideally less than four hours and book hotels close to the attractions, if any, that you are wanting to visit.
* If you know when you want to go away, book it and work out the details later.
* Don't wait for the perfect time to book your vacation. If the timing looks good or an opportunity arises, jump in with both feet and say yes. Spontaneity leads to excitement and can enhance the benefits of a mini vacation.
* Stay focused while on your mini vacation. Don't try to book too many activities into a short span. Pick one or two and thoroughly enjoy them and avoid feeling rushed.
* Disconnect as much as you can from work on your mini break. This is not the time to waste precious time checking email messages or on your smartphone, unless it's urgent.
Meanwhile, Zajak offers up these mini-break ideas:
* Staycations provide a mini mood booster. Pick a luxurious or centrally-located hotel in your own city and play "tourist" for a day. It can be so fun and a great way to get that vacation vibe without traveling too far. Try a new trendy restaurant, hit up the spa, or go see a show.
* Vegas is great spot for a micro-break when travelling from Canada. There are always flight and hotel deals available, lots of packages, and the options for entertainment are endless.
* Hit the beach. If you're looking for a beach, consider a quick trip to an area of Florida.
* Looking for a city escape? A weekend in New York, Chicago, or Boston makes for a perfect micro-break. These cities always have something new to offer, even if you've visited before.
You got an extra hour's sleep but still feeling down? Feed your happiness.
"This time of year brings about darker days and longer nights which can be really tough on our mood," says registered dietitian Abby Langer, of abbylangernutrition.com. "The lack of sunlight can also disrupt our serotonin levels, making it more likely for us to feel depressed."
These foods will boost moods and positivity, according to Langer:
* Carbohydrates from lentils and other legumes, boost serotonin levels, which in turn can help boost mood.
* Probiotics can help keep our gut healthy, which can affect our mood and well-being.
* Omega 3 fatty acids, from foods such as flax, nuts, and fish, may help with feelings of depression.
* Look for purple fruits and vegetables. Anthocyanin, compounds which can play a key role in protecting our bodies and help with regulating our mood, so eat up blackcurrants, blackberries, blueberries, as well as eggplant (in the skin), red cabbage, cranberries and cherries.
* Oysters and pumpkin seeds contain zinc, which may help reduce anxiety.
* Magnesium from leafy greens, nuts, and legumes may also help with anxiety.
* Legumes, whole grains, eggs, seafood, and meat contain B vitamins, and are linked to helping to fight depression.
* Dark chocolate (70% or higher) has high levels of antioxidants, and also sparks feelings of pleasure and happiness.
* Seafood and Brazil nuts for their selenium. A low intake of selenium may be associated with mood disorders.
* POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice is an excellent source of potassium and supports strong muscle function, growth and development.
These foods are a downer, says Langer. Ingest are your own risk!
* Fast food are overloaded with saturated fat .
* Candy and chocolate can cause blood sugar instability, leading to low mood.
* Alcohol is a depressant.
* Coffee can depress serotonin.
* Trans fats cause inflammation, which in turn can affect mood.
* Highly-processed foods offer no positive nutrients.
* Pop has a lot of added sugar and may exacerbate or cause inflammation.

Two wheels, a variety of boiled, fried, simmered, or steamed fillings wrapped in dough … and a common social cause.
For organizer Tom Nguyen the three ingredients which make up The Dumpling Tour — a motorcycle charity run next month benefiting the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC) — go together like pierogies and sour cream.
"There are hundreds of versions of dumplings in different countries all over the world," says Nguyen, one of three owners at Brooklyn's Phumpling Co, which has showcased its Chinese/Vietnamese pho-packed, bite-sized soup dumplings at Popup New York for the past two years.
"The reason why we as New Yorkers are able to enjoy gyoza from Japan, pelmeni from Russia, pierogi from Poland, momos from Tibet, empanadas from Latin America — just to name a few — is because of the immigrants who came to this country and shared their incredible food with us. Diversity in food, culture, and thought is what makes this country thrive."

What's really in a name? On first impressions DOOMEDnyc, and its borrowed tagline – 'life will be the death of me' – appear to offer a rather bleak outlook on life.
But for artist, industrial designer and creator Rachael Inman, the handmade leather bag company's philosophy is quite the opposite, an ironic statement on not letting life pass you by … of embracing and focusing your creativity, and living up to your potential.
"I think the brand can come off as this negative, down thing … like 'doom and gloom.' But it really is not what the meaning behind it is, … at least for us," says Inman in a recent interview from DOOMEDnyc HQ in Greenpoint, adding the original concept came from her now-husband and business partner Jason Goodrich, a photographer by trade.
"I think that what the message was for him – 'I'm doomed to be an artist.' – that was very much what rang true for me as well, because I tried the whole corporate thing," Inman says. "I tried to not be an artist, ... not only was I working too much, it was also that I didn't have a voice. I'm such a creative person and see the world so differently that … I was like 'I can't do this anymore. This is killing my soul, literally.'"

I have coast-to-coast friends – builders, mechanics and DIYers – all of whom are quite proficient, some even downright talented, at maintaining and modifying their motorcycles. I get by … I can do oil and filter changes, replace brake pads, bleed brake lines, do minor wiring mods, and even swap out batteries and re-program ECUs.
I've also added my fair share of bolt-on aftermarket parts.
But, high school industrial ed classes notwithstanding, designing and building specialty parts for bikes always felt a little out of reach.
So it would seem like providence when a Sheetmetal Shaping Fundamentals class, offered by noted custom builder Keino Sasaki, of Indian Larry, Brooklyn Invitational and Biker Build-off fame, came up on the local moto calendar … a chance to test my mettle, so to speak.

Naked Bike Project Stares Down Society's Portrayal of Women
Grace Roselli is as complex and varied as the artwork and photography she produces.
Tall ceilings, large paintings and photography from her latest series – Naked Bike, a well-worn 1967 Triumph Tiger, and two large, affectionate pooches – Laayoune, a Dogo Argentino, and Mokey, a Bull Mastiff/American Bulldog mix … They all dominate Roselli's Brooklyn-based work/home space … it's a mixture of calm confidence, gritty styling and in-your-face imagery, not unlike Roselli herself.
The Bay Ridge, Brooklyn-born, Rhode Island School of Design graduate sways between fiery passion and calm introspection as she describes the culmination of her love of motorcycles and her ambition to create a meaningful conversation on how women and the female form are portrayed in society … the essence of the Naked Bike project, and a theme that has followed Roselli her entire artistic career.

Some might call it a test of metal. A course designed to put you back in touch with artisan skills, working with your hands, and mastering tools that have been used to shape metal for many decades.
Sheers, snips, mallets, hammers, dollies, English wheels … basic tools and techniques are at the heart of a course being taught at Red Hook-based Keino Cycles, by owner, builder, Indian Larry disciple and Brooklyn Invitational co-director Keinosuke 'Keino' Sasaki.
"Basically, this is a class I wish I had (had) a chance to attend when I started to shape metal," says Keino, whose shop is famous for handcrafted motorcycles such as the recent Vincent custom collaboration with Stephen Pate dubbed 'Widow Jane'.

A documentary photographer and filmmaker living in Brooklyn, NY -- and a current member of the NY Classic Riders -- David Goldman originally pointed his camera at musicians and celebs. But a few years back he switched his focus to working with NGOs and socially conscientious companies, documenting human rights, marginalized people and maternal health issues. Goldman, who rides a 2004 Triumph Thruxton, has always been into motorcycles … but cars were his first love. He even took some racing courses in his teens and had hopes of becoming a pro racer. The long-suffering Toronto Maple Leafs fan now hopes to eventually buy a BMW GS 1200 one day, and like so many people have done before, ride across the country. Goldman's moto world credits include shoots for Walt Siegl and Pagnol-moto.

Via Meccanica's new Brooklyn-based digs are a cozy space … kettle on the boil, NPR tunes in the air, comfy couch and a quartet of motos in a backroom which houses a collection of leathers, threads and an industrial sewing machine. Creativity and inspiration abounds …
You may have seen Corinna Mantlo's handiwork on a number of classic restorations, seats that give a nod to vintage styling with piping and creative stitching, but with added details … a slightly more curved line than stock, or increased support for a smoother ride.
Revival Cycles' Rickman Velocette – on display at last year's Brooklyn Invitational, the Vinago, a 1982 Virago 1100 custom from Billy Joel's collection at 20th Century Cycles, and Iacona Custom Cycles IMS Championship Sportster are just a few showpieces recently added to the 36-year-old's proverbial leather belt.

There is a sophistication in simplicity when it's done right … whether you're running a 5,000-square-foot motorcycle storage facility and private members' community garage … or a gourmet taco stand.
For Brooklyn's Justin Walters it's all three … a combination of businesses he's blue skied about since he first opened Vax Moto six years ago.
"Originally when I first wanted to open up a garage I had this master plan … food, retail, wrenching, merchandising, beer garden … but it was an extremely expensive financial venture that I just wasn't ready to do on my first out," says Walters.
Now three locations later with plans to double the Butler Street facility's 225-bike space in the very near future, the 45-year-old family man and '74 Harley Shovelhead owner says the timing was perfect for his newest idea … Vax Taco.

It's about motorcycles, group rides, building a DIYer's knowledge base and exploring all of what NYC has to offer two-wheeled enthusiasts. But at its core, really the NY Classic Riders MC is about building lifelong friendships … an extended moto family, so to speak, which supports all aspects of New York moto culture.
That's a large leap forward from what club founder Dominique D. envisioned four years ago when he and a close-knit group of ex-pat French riders first started to organize local informal rides in and around the city.
"I first created this group to gather all my New York riding friends, and thought this would be the best platform for us to share ideas, bike tips, and arrange weekend rides," says Dominique, a relatively new rider who came to NY half a decade ago in his mid-30s.
With the help of a burgeoning Facebook membership, which is currently pushing the 600 mark, a newly launched and comprehensive website (featuring member bios, videos, photos, a blog and recommended moto vendors shops and eateries), and even a new logo, the NY Classic Riders seems well positioned for the upcoming spring riding season.
"My goal is to continue building a strong community of riders," says Dominique. "I see already in the group, people that would have never met before, developing amazing friendships, after only a single ride. People from the group today are meeting even outside the motorcycle context. When I see this, I tell myself: 'Mission accomplished!'".

Known for its feather weight and high tensile strength, carbon fiber is fast becoming the optimal choice in motorcycle helmet construction, a welcome change from fiberglass and lower end polycarbonate options.
But the added safety benefits, longevity and comfort offered through stylistic carbon fiber models currently available through the likes of NEXX, Les Ateliers Ruby and Bell come at a premium, with prices ranging from $500 to well over 2K for the luxury of being ahead of the crowd.
LA Motorcyclist decided to pit three top-end, retro-styled helmets in a head-to-head comparison to see if you really can put a price on the protection of your precious noggin; at odds, the newly released NEXX X.Garage Carbon, the Bell Bullitt Carbon, and, at the peak of the cost chart, Les Ateliers Ruby's Castel.

The NEXX X.Garage helmet is the first of many LA Motorcyclist tested, selected and endorsed moto products scheduled to be sold on LAMotoStore.com. We talk to North American Director of Operation Ricardo Silva about the relatively new helmet line and the company's big plans for 2017.
With the addition of a new carbon fiber variant to the popular X.Garage retro helmet series for 2017 and the opening of a dedicated North American headquarters – based in New Jersey – earlier this year, NEXX Helmets is setting its sights on the niche US moto market and expanding westward.
A look at the Portuguese company's 2017 catalogue reveals a series of helmets for riders from all segments of the motorcycle world: racers (X.R2), sports tourers (X.T1), dual sport (X.D1) and scooter enthusiasts (SX), and, most recently, the now broadly popular café racer set (X.G100 & X.G10).
NEXX has been around for 15 years, but is now looking at making a serious mark in the US, says Ricardo Silva, Director of Operations for North America, adding the X.Garage helmet series represents a culmination of unique styling and technology, combined with a refreshing artistic partnership with another Portuguese lifestyle moto brand – Maria Riding Company.

An interview with Rod Copes, Royal Enfield, President, North America
With a new recently opened headquarters and flagship store in Milwaukee, WI, and plans to triple the number of dealers in the US and Canada in the not-so-distant future (from 30 to 100), Royal Enfield's North American president, Rod Copes, is hoping to reignite the continent's 1960s love affair with mid-weight British vintage bikes.
Companies such as Triumph, and to a much lesser extent Norton, have led the way, flooding the US market with a variety of expat offerings in the 900 cc range and above. Copes – who took over the reins of Royal Enfield North America in August 2014 – says Royal Enfield's smaller-displacement-centered brand has a very different outlook on the industry, one that emphasizes simplicity in the face of the current trend of rising prices and overcomplicated products.
