An excellent review for Coro Allegro's recent release AWAKENINGS appeared in the December issue of Gramophone. A copy of the article can be found here:
Click read more for a few excerpts from the review.
Coro Allegro
The Boston-based Coro Allegro, led by David Hodgkins, performs each score with fine balance and interplay. The ensemble singing is at all times keenly engaged to the emotional moment and the soloists bring vivid definition to their duties (Gramophone, Dec. 2012).
Robert Stern – praise for "Shofar"
Soloists and chorus engage in dramatic lyrical encounters drawn from passages from the Old Testament. It is a work of dignified power (Gramophone, Dec. 2012).
Ronald Perera – praise for "Why I Wake Early"
In his settings of the Oliver poems, Perera places the chorus in a series of glistening soundscapes in collaboration with string quartet and piano. The final titular poem basks in reflected beauty before taking euphoric wing on the words 'I start the day in happiness, in kindness' (Gramophone, Dec. 2012).

I get a lot of my inspiration from great TV shows, and I think people sometimes forget that TV Shows are only as good as the writers behind them. It has to have all the pieces in the formula to make it complete: great characters, an interesting and believable world and a great story.
I get inspired by these great stories and characters and love them sometimes just as much as my favorite books. So I thought I'd share some of my favorites of the past several years and why I think they deserve a good watch.
(It all depends on what you are into, too.) Me, I love science fiction/fantasy and alternate realities, but mostly I love great characters and these shows have all that and more:
8. Once Upon a Time
From the brilliant creators of LOST, the first few seasons follow Emma and the other characters of Storybrooke, Maine in a world where fairy tale creatures don't know who they truly are. The show presses you to believe in them as you follow these troubled characters and hope that they'll be able to find true happiness. There's true love between Snow White and Prince Charming, and despite the clichés, there happens to be something different and fresh about each character you see here, and you will see all sorts of fairy tale characters from multiple worlds.
7. Chuck
One of my favorites, but clearly not up to par as a show like Game of Thrones. Chuck is about "Chuck," a man who works at a Buy More (think Best Buy) whose life changes when he has a super computer downloaded into his head. Mostly I love this show because of Chuck played by Zachary Levi. Others might know him as the voice of Flynn on Disney's Tangled. He's that awkward, yet handsome nerd that everyone has in their lives and knows and loves. He's relate-able, there's action, there's chemistry, and instead of becoming repetitive, the show and the characters continue to grow throughout the seasons.
6. BonesBones is about forensic anthropologist, Dr. Temperance Brennan, and how her partnership with the FBI helps them solve murders. I love the chemistry between Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and FBI agent, Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz). It is a relationship that definitely has more depth to it than just physical chemistry. You begin to understand that at the end of the day, these two are best friends, and can overcome any odds together. Plus, there's a great cast and a humor that evens out the gruesome deaths and murders that the crew solves on each episode. Without the chemistry between all the characters, this show would have died a quick death a long time ago.
5. Downton Abbey
A period drama that focuses on the lives of the people who live and work in a large house, "Downton Abbey" that functions in the early 1900s and into the 1920s. Each character faces trials and tribulations, and the characters downstairs, (the kitchen, maids, footmen, etc.) are just as important as the lords and ladies of the manor in all their finery. Maggie Smith delivers great one liners, and the costumes, colors and dialogue transports you to a world that is very different from the one we live in now. I have a hard time writing after watching this show, merely because the character's accents and mannerisms get in my head and it is sometimes hard to switch it off! It is a great show if you need to escape for a while.
4. Breaking Bad
It is fourth, merely because there are other TV shows that I love more, however, this one takes the cake when it comes to great writing. The show is about high school chemistry teacher, Walter White (Bryan Cranston), who is diagnosed with lung cancer. He decides to make and sell crystal meth to leave a legacy for his family. I love the bro-mance between Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston's characters, and each season amps up the suspense as you're taken along with Walter White on his journey of self discovery. It challenges the idea of right and wrong and each episode feels like a movie – there's a lot of cinematic moments, great landscapes; Vince Gilligan is a pro when it comes to the awkward conversation.
3. Game of Thrones
George R.R. Martin's books come to life on the screen, the phrase "Winter is coming," should be heard throughout the realm – this show airs on HBO on Sunday nights, although now we have to wait a whole year for the new season! The show follows several characters, (more than several actually) as they make their way through the seven kingdoms; some with desires for the throne, some with dragons, some with destinations of their own. There's gruesome deaths, sex, love, fights, dragons, and epic fantasy. If you love all that…then this show is for you. The show doesn't skimp on the special effects either…it is HBO after-all. Not for the faint of heart, but that's what makes it so great.
And yes, I wrote it in great big capital letters, like it appeared on the show. (Writing it in lowercase just seems an insult to the show really.) LOST follows the lives of several survivors of a plane crash on an island somewhere in the south pacific. Unbeknownst to them, there is a greater purpose at work here as we learn how these characters lives are interconnected. There are so many themes in here for the starving English major: Death/Life, Science/Religion, Heaven/Hell, Right/Wrong, Retribution/Rebirth; it is a conspiracy theorist's paradise and the skies the limit on what may or may not happen here. I fell in love with this show, and it is definitely worth it to see great actors, Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, and of course Josh Holloway's dimples.
1. Firefly
I don't know if you have heard the story: Firefly, the almost was. It aired for 14 episodes, when producers cancelled the show, not realizing (apparently) that it was starting to grow a fan-base; a fan-base so large that they were able to make a movie to conclude the show! I don't know if there is a producer somewhere kicking himself for the mistake (there should be!) but had this continued on for five or more seasons it would have been a huge hit. Like every Firefly fan, it bugs me to no end that there weren't more episodes to this show…ANYWAY…
Firefly follows Captain Malcolm Reynolds and his crew on Serenity as they 'keep on flying,' in the black; taking jobs when they can, either legal or illegally all while trying to exist under the empire of the Alliance, which tries its best to make the little man feel very small and insignificant. It touches on the idea of freedom and what it truly means; as well as friendship, loyalty and love. But mostly what draws you in is the great characters – a testament to Joss Whedon's writing skills, of course. Viewers are usually hooked after the first episode. (I know I was!)
Well, that's that! If you have other great TV shows that deserve a good watch, let me know! I've also recently started watching Orange is the New Black – and that one has got me hooked as well!
Happy Writing people!

Dear Parents, Carers & Guardians
It has been another exciting and spectacular half-term for the arts, science, sport, community service and charity fundraising, as the news stories on the website are testimony to.
We have been working hard to ensure that students receive relevant and regulated homework set in line with the newly published homework expectations. As you will appreciate, it makes life very difficult for my teachers, together with creating an unnecessary additional work load if students fail to complete and hand in their homework. Moreover, it results in unnecessary punishment for students who fail to discharge their responsibilities. I would welcome your support in ensuring that the homework set is completed and handed in by the required date. It is also worth remembering that a student's participation with an electronic homework can and will be checked by staff. Any failure to complete homework, electronic or otherwise, will, after one occasion being given to rectify the situation, result in a student having to undertake a punishment.
Please encourage your child (ren) to undertake some on-line learning, revision and any required catch-up work during the Christmas holidays, so that they can hit the ground running in January, together with making sure they are on track. Remember, there is no substitute for hard work!
Our new independent learning and effort rewards system 'Selby Keys' is bedding in well and helping students to rapidly develop the skills necessary to be a successful learner in today's educational climate.
Your co-operation in helping to maintain the now established high standards of uniform, together with attendance and punctuality, from the outset of the Spring Term in January will be much appreciated. In this respect it is worth remembering that students should wear their blazers at all times, in addition to any school jumper or cardigan, unless instructed to do otherwise by a member of staff. We will also continue our campaign, during 2015, to educate everyone connected with the school what bullying is and what it isn't, together with convincing all concerned of the virtues of being a 'telling school'.
As winter tightens its grip may I once again remind you, that in adverse weather conditions, a decision as to whether or not to open the school will be made, at the latest, by 6.30am. If closure is necessary an announcement will then be made on BBC Radio York & Minster FM. The school's website will also carry information about any school closure and we will tweet and SMS message you with information. Once the school is open it will remain open until the end of the day unless it becomes clear that students risk becoming stranded, because of any worsening conditions. If the school has to close we will make a decision, whenever possible, by the end of the closure day about the prospects for the following day.
As we say at Selby High School and as we look forward to 2015, it is more important that we are more successful tomorrow than we are today!
On that note I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the staff and governors to wish you a very happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year!
Paul Eckersley Headteacher

To whom it may concern
Ok cigarians, I m Zizuzi2000.
I m Italian, cigar aficionado and before of posting reviews I d like to explain my new method for judging cigars.
Since It takes a lot of effort to review the cigars because too much details and variants to consider, I often lose the attention to the masterpiece I m smoking.
Therefore, I m now opting for pen and paper. I found an useful form published in Italian by Cigar Club Association that I tried to translate for you, for easy reference. You can download it here.
And here below it is my post-review that is summarizing as much as I putted in the paper:
Tatuaje RC 184
2nd Febr 2013
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Brand: Tatuaje
Cigar (Vitola de Salida) RC 184
Shape (Vitola de Galera) Figurado
Price: 20$
Size: 184mm (7 1/4) x 57 ring gauge
Manufacture: Totally hand made (TL=long filler)
Code and Production Date: RC (Retro Cuban) 184 – 2005
Wrapper Colorado Maduro, brown tones, bright, looking smooth and uniform. It was oily to the touch.
The construction was excellent and the filler was regular. the stick was without spots or soft parts.
Medium strength smelling of cedar and roasted coffee aromas were present also in the cold draw
The draw was excellent and the burn line was shaped (razor shape).
the ashes were compacted, light grey color.
The start was very spicy and a bit Tannic and sour
The centre was pretty sweet
The final was well balanced between sweet and spices flavours.
The first third had Cedar, Pepper, spices, lather and hints of coffee. Spices in the retrohale.
The second third introduced herbs and hearty aromas. I found toasted nuts and lemon tea. Retrohale fresh and only a bit spiced.
The last section went back to the aromas given in the first third but the freshness taken in the second third remained in the palate.
Medium strength body.
Organoleptic property
Excellent quality. The smoke was Armonic (very well balanced), with good complexity. The long smoke was developing excellent.
Final thought
Smoking time was 2 hours
The cigar is for connoisseurs, better smoke it on afternoon and pairing of with brandy or cognac Armagnac. Rate quality/price is good. I don't recommend to ageing this cig, it is good like it is. The production is limited and I wouldn't suggest any investment
Final score
Final score is 4 (good) but Ok!! Very exciting for me.
It's a cigar for me, another good blend by Don Pepin for Pete Johnson line. I liked the flavors and aromas variations as well as the excellent construction. Maybe a bit expensive and not a cigar that can be impressed in my mind for ever.

How I overcame my doubt and concerns about becoming a foster parent
Looking back, I often wonder when and where the seed for fostering was planted in my heart. I grew up in a wonderful neighborhood with many loving families and kids all around. Several homes in my neighborhood welcomed foster children into their lives, and in turn many of these kids became my playmates. Some would stay and some only would be with these families for a short time, but it was my introduction to the gift of foster care.
Many years later I met my wonderful husband and we moved our lives to Milwaukee. On the surface, we moved here for education, but deep down there were bigger things taking root. We were here for about nine months when little moments snuck in to our lives bringing us messages of the great need for foster homes. I saw firsthand the need through my work at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, where often I had the privilege to work with these amazing kids! We saw billboards, commercials and watched movies all connected with the same messages of beautiful children in need of stable love and support. However, it wasn't an instant decision.
Giving my fostering seed a chance to sprout
Doubt and concerns started to clutter our plans.
- How would we afford child care?
- How would we afford medical and dental care?
- How could we become first time parents to a child who may only be with us for a short time?
- How could I survive a relationship with parents who may hate me?
- How could I learn to love a child and then let him or her go?
- What would this do to my husband, my dogs, my house and my life?
My seed for fostering quickly became overrun with doubt. It no longer had a chance to flourish. That's when I had the privilege of meeting some of the greatest gardeners in Milwaukee.
I found a message in my inbox at work advertising a lunch and learn opportunity about foster parenting. I listened to real stories, from real foster parents who lived, breathed, and most importantly, thrived as foster families. I asked difficult questions and started to clear out some of the barriers I let in. There would be assistance with child care, medical and dental, a thorough screening process, support systems and always someone to call when I need help. It was as if my seed finally received enough water and sunlight — that's when it began to sprout.
Letting go of excuses
There always will be more reasons not to become a foster parent. How do we prune those fears to let real growth and beauty take root? It felt scary to let go of all excuses, but if I hadn't, I never would have witnessed the immaculate garden that has become my family. There were days we felt like we were drying up or drowning from too much water, but each time we reached out for help, someone always was there to make sure we kept growing.
Despite the 101 reasons not to become a foster parent, the one inexcusable reason I became a foster parent was because there was a child who was counting on me to live. For reasons greater than myself. I took a risk on love because they deserved it.
We have been blessed with a son who will forever be with us, and I can't wait to meet the others who we can help grow with the right mix of love and support, and a community who cares.

Clan Lamont is one of the oldest Scottish clans, with an oral tradition of descent stretching back to the Kings of Ireland. The name is derived from a chief in the 13th century, Sir Laumon, whose charter granted lands to the Paisley Abby and is still in existence. Few clans can document their existence at such an early date.
Although the name comes from the 13th century chief, the clan is much older, being known as MacKerracher before Sir Laumon's time. The famous Scottish poet, Sir Walter Scott refers to him in Antiquary as "Lamon mor ", or the Great Lamont in English. Sir Laumon's mother is believed to have been a daughter of the great Somerled, ancestor of the MacDonalds and founder of the Family of the Isles.
Tradition, supported by a genealogical work of 1682 found in Inveraray Castle, maintains that a son of Sir Laumon, had to flee Cowal as a result of a murder; and founded the Lyon family of Glamis. He took the name of LYON from the Lamont arms, and chose as his arms, the reverse of the Lamonts, a blue lion on a silver field
Sir Iain Moncreiffe of that Ilk, the celebrated twentieth-century herald and historian, asserts that Sir John Lyon, who became Thane of Glamis in 1372, was a son of the chiefly house of Lamont. He points out that the Lamont arms bear a silver lion on a blue shield, while the LYONs' bear a blue lion on a silver shield. Such a simple reversal of the colour scheme of a coat of arms was a recognized manner of differencing used by cadets.

Video game development is notoriously complicated and protracted. A single project can suck up years, span countries and continents, and employ thousands of talented staff. And why? Because the rewards are great, not just financially but in terms of technological advances and artistic achievement.
With an exclusive launch title for the Xbox One, RYSE: Son of Rome, Crytek is a German games studio taking a huge risk of their own. Not only is this a new genre for the company, branching out from the first-person CRYSIS and FAR CRY shooters for which they're famous, it's also a new intellectual property on a new platform. Any one of those factors would be cause for sleepless nights.
"Alright guys, what are we doing here?" jokes PJ Estevez, Design Director for RYSE. He starts running through the list: "New IP? Check. Okay, that's hard. New genre for the company? Check, that's hard. Let's innovate on the camera. And while we're at it, let's tell a really great story and push performance capture into the next gen. Check, check, and check."
"So, we really set ourselves high goals. Going from making sci-fi FPS to Ancient Rome, we wanted to show there's another side to Crytek and another dynamic that people might not have expected."
RYSE began life as a first-person brawler for the Xbox 360, a dedicated Kinect title with full motion control and voice commands instead of a gamepad controller. Thirteen months later, the game has been reconfigured as a third-person action-adventure for a new platform with a new control scheme. While the story remains the same -- players assume the role of Marius, a legionnaire of the Roman empire entangled in a web of treachery and revenge -- the framework has undergone some dramatic differences.
"Definitely, the combat system is different," says Estevez, "but the thing I like to point out to people is that things like the cinematic camerawork, facial animations and brutal executions, they still resonate in the game. Those parts carried over from one version to the next, they're very much the heart and soul of what RYSE is supposed to be."
And of course, the historical setting of Rome is something else that informs RYSE, where the lush graphics, lighting and sound are used to recreate the ancient civilisation in all its pomp and splendour. "Every generation has its own interpretation of Rome, ranging from Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus, to Ridley Scott's Gladiator," says Estevez. "There really hasn't been a great game set in Rome other than the Total War series, and those are from the perspective of a tactical general. We're trying to tell a story about the guys on the actual battlefield."
To better tell that story, RYSE relies heavily on motion-capture performances, the process of which was split into three distinct phases. "One is the casting, using actors who we thought could play the parts. We hired a lot of British stage and film actors, and made sure that they really fit the role," explains Estevez. The second was working with Andy Serkis and his mocap team at The Imaginarium.
"The Imaginarium's part was capturing the best data possible on the motion-capture, and it always came to us super-clean and ready to go. And as soon as we had that data down on the technical side, the next question was how do we build a Marius that is a one-to-one representation of our actor, John Hopkins?"
Looking at some of the expressions on the faces of the in-game characters, it really does look like a new benchmark in graphical realism. "People might think that it's overkill but it's not, not when you can see the kind of fidelity we can achieve," says Estevez. "This is like a line in the sand: you can go back to doing what feels like a bad high school play, or you can take this next step forward."
Early on, the team decided that they wanted to use the same character in-game as they do in the cinematics, thereby making the transitions seamless. So when Marius does his OTT executions when stomping barbarians, those actions were actually mo-capped by the actor playing Marius. "We laughed about it, because we had him do a bunch. 'Alright John, we need a little more 'ARRGH'. We did tons of libraries of that stuff, and hand-picked the ones that worked best for the game."
But while the art direction is spectacular, is Estevez concerned that the violent content is going to cause some controversy? Or at the very least, limit their potential audience? "We have to portray combat as a life or death struggle, and we really can't pull any punches with this stuff. If you're a soldier and the fastest way to deflect a blow is to take off a limb, that's what real warriors did back then. The last thing we wanted to do is water that down. But at the same time, we try not to glorify the gore. It's a fine line."
Based on the criteria of mo-cap animations, fluid camerawork and realistic combat, RYSE is an unqualified success. But whether it's going to be a hit for the Xbox One...
We had a chance to play a demo at a press event prior to launch, and we can honestly say that our impressions were positive. The fighting system is as complicated and as simple as players want it to be, and the visuals were spellbinding. Moreover, we were itching to keep playing well past our allotted time. On that basis, we have a sneaking suspicion that Crytek's gamble could well pay off. Big time.

Coming into the 2014 postseason, the Big Ten as a conference was looking to get back some of the respect its lost over the last several years. After Game 1? Hey, at least there are nine, possibly 10 more remaining.
It wasn't pretty as mistakes in all three phases littered the playing field, but Louisiana Tech, which had jumped out to a 21-9 halftime lead, was able to pull away to a 35-18 win over Illinois in the Zaxby's Heart of Dallas Bowl. The win marks Tech's first bowl victory since the 2008 season, and their ninth win this year after winning just four in 2013.
Were it not for one key fourth-quarter sequence, though, it might've been the Illini doing some postseason celebrating for the first time since 2011.
With just over nine minutes remaining and trailing 21-18, the Illini forced a fumble at around the Tech 40-yard line that was recovered by Jihad Ward and returned to the Tech 16-yard line. However, Ward fumbled before he went down and the ball was recovered by, oddly enough, quarterback Cody Sokol, the player who originally fumbled it. Five plays later, one of which was a 70-yard pass to Carlos Henderson, a Kenneth Dixon one-yard touchdown run with 6:15 remaining stretched the lead to 28-18 and essentially put the game out of reach.
The scoring icing on the cake was a 28-yard touchdown run by Blake Martin with 3:43 remaining.
While Sokol completed just 14 passes, he threw for 247 yards. Dixon ended up scoring twice, one each rushing and receiving, in accumulating 142 yards from scrimmage.
Sokol's counterpart, Reilly O'Toole, took a severe, game-long beating but still passed for 295 yards and a touchdown.
Houston Bates, who transferred from Illinois to Tech earlier this year, totaled 4.5 sacks in the game, with another being wiped out late in the game by a penalty. The senior came into the game with 5.5 this season.
While the Big Ten is 0-1, Conference USA moved to an impressive 4-1 with Tech's win. Through 11 bowl games, that conference as well as the ACC (1-0) are the only ones that are above .500.

Psychotropic Medication for Children: A Doctor's View
I have had concerns for years about the use of atypical antipsychotics in children and young adults. My feelings are based on my son Dan's experiences with these medications, which wreaked havoc on him, physically and mentally. These drugs also exacerbated his OCD and left him with a slew of side effects. And Dan is certainly not the only one who has been negatively affected by these medications. The potentially dangerous side effects of these drugs have been well-documented.
Dr. Allen Frances, a world-renowned psychiatrist and professor emeritus at Duke University, wrote an important article in July 2015 for Psychiatric Times which begins with this sentence: "A perfect storm of interacting detrimental factors has resulted in the recent massive overuse of psychotropic medication in children."
I highly recommend reading this easy-to-understand article, even though it is primarily written for psychiatrists. Dr. Frances makes excellent points and cites a checklist meant to help doctors evaluate whether or not a child should be prescribed these drugs. He says:
Doctors have swallowed the misleading sales pitch that typical problems in children are really underdiagnosed and undertreated "mental disorders" — very easy to diagnose and very easy to treat with a pill. Just the opposite is true. Children change so much in response to environment and development that their diagnosis and treatment always require the greatest care, patience, and time. I can't picture ever starting a child on medications after a brief evaluation, but this is often done.
I have said many times before that I believe parents' thoughts, feelings and opinions should always be considered and taken seriously when it comes to any kind of treatment for their children. Collaboration is important as nobody knows, cares, about, or loves their children more than they do. So it's not surprising that the paragraph below is my favorite one of the article, and it is even more meaningful because it comes from such a well-respected doctor:
Parents far too readily follow doctors' advice about medication for their children. I recommend always becoming a fully informed consumer and getting second and third opinions before allowing your child to take any psychiatric medicine. This is an important decision that requires careful deliberation and full parental input.
When talking about OCD and these drugs, it is important to realize that studies have shown atypical antipsychotics to be no more beneficial than a placebo for those already taking an SSRI. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, the psychological approach to treat OCD as recommended by the American Psychological Association, continues to be the gold standard for treating OCD. And it can be utilized in an age-appropriate manner for children as young as four or five years of age with no side effects.
Every child's situation is unique and pros and cons of medication should be weighed carefully. However, if you are seriously considering using an atypical antipsychotic as part of your child's treatment plan for OCD, please read Dr. Frances's article. You might just change your mind.

The Israeli military Saturday said it foiled an imminent large-scale attack by Iranian forces and Shiite militia on targets in northern Israel, with a series of airstrikes on Iranian targets near the Syrian capital Damascus.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed responsibility for the airstrikes, saying it was necessary to thwart multiple attacks by what it called killer, or kamikaze, drones, of a kind not previously used by Iranian forces against Israel.
Iran Focus
London, 25 May - Washington, May 24, 2019 - The US administration is warning the Syria of a "quick and appropriate" response for the possible use of chemical weapons against its own civilians.
Reuters cited a US State Department statement saying that Washington sees signs the Syrian government may be using chemical weapons, including an alleged chlorine attack on Sunday in northwest Syria. The Trump administration is warning that Washington and its allies would respond "quickly and appropriately" if this were proven.

Iran has become quite isolated in the region because of its belligerence. It has been involved in some horrific conflicts and has spread chaos further and further afield.
It now seems that relations between Iran and Russia are starting to rapidly deteriorate. It has been reported that Russian military police carried out a raid on militiamen that are backed by Iran. The raid took place a week ago at the international airport in Aleppo, Syria.
By Pooya Stone
Iran and Russia are currently vying for power in Syria as the country's eight-year-long civil war draws to a close and this battle recently became public.
Syrian news site Syria Call wrote that nearly a dozen people, including women and children, were killed and about a dozen more were wounded in clashes between pro-Russian and pro-Iranian militia groups on April 14. The clashes in Aleppo involved heavy weaponry and rockets that hit a civilian neighbourhood and marketplace.

Underground cave adventures, mountains, desert and a delightful cultural scene are features of this city in southeastern New Mexico.
Head to the Chihuahuan Desert in New Mexico to find Carlsbad. This city on the Pecos River is an attractive vacation spot for its stunning scenery and outdoor leisure pursuits. Search for fossils on steep mountain trails, marvel at the stalactite formations in underground caves and canoe down the river.
Carlsbad's most popular attraction is the Carlsbad Caverns National Park, 20 miles (32 kilometers) outside the city. Descend deep underground to explore limestone caves. Join a ranger-guided tour or explore on your own. Part of the cave system is accessible to wheelchair users.
About 1 hour's drive from Carlsbad is the Guadalupe Mountains National Park, a vast wilderness just over the state line and into Texas. More than 80 miles (129 kilometers) of trails meander through forested canyons, mountains and desert. Look for ancient marine fossils embedded in the rocks. Millions of years ago a tropical ocean and a 400-mile-long (644-kilometer) reef system covered the area.
The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens State Park is a good place to see animal and plant species native to the Chihuahuan Desert.
With more than 1,400 acres (567 hectares) of parks and the Pecos River on its doorstep, Carlsbad has many outdoor attractions. Plan a day of family fun at the Lake Carlsbad Recreation Area. Enjoy fishing, boating, waterskiing, tennis courts and a skateboard park.
Swim or glide across the river on a kayak or paddleboat at the Pecos River Beach and Picnic Area.
To experience Carlsbad's cultural scene, watch a concert at the Walter Gerrells Performing Arts and Exhibition Center. Study the work of early 20th-century New Mexican artists at the Carlsbad Museum and Arts Center.
Carlsbad is an easy city to get to by car. If you are traveling by plane, the nearest major airport is El Paso International Airport, 158 miles (254 kilometers) away, where you can arrange a rental car. Carlsbad is a great place to come for adventures above and below ground.

Animal gifts are a real hit, but giving a baby buffalo is not just cute - it's also a powerful weapon in the fight against poverty.
Give a baby buffalo through Christian Aid's Present Aid scheme and you will provide an Egyptian family with milk and cheese that can be sold for income – perhaps for many years to come. And it will ultimately breed more baby buffalos to sell.
Sarah Makram, says 'the water buffalo has helped us a lot. It's like the kitchen of our house. Now I have nutritious food in the house for my children.'
You can give a baby buffalo quickly and easily online through Christian Aid's Present Aid site. Once you have selected your gift, a card will be sent with your special message to the person on whose behalf you are giving the gift.

Candidate for U.S. Senate, Deborah Ross, visited Local 553's hall on Friday, Dec. 18th. The leadership team of the local discussed a variety of topics with her. Ross was a representative in the NC State House for many years, and has been endorsed by the AFL-CIO in the past.
Ross grew up in Philadelphia around many tradesmen of all stripes, so unions were a part of life for her. She has always defended the worker; her record on labor issues has been exemplary. During our meeting, we discussed the current NC Senate primaries and election for the upcoming year, and Ms. Ross stated she has always been a friend of labor, and her record proves it.
With all of the solar farms that we have seen popping up in our jurisdiction and putting IBEW members to work, we also asked about what she would do to attract more sustainable power to the state. Ross said she would increase tax breaks and incentives to encourage wind, solar, and other renewable energy companies to set up shop here. Also essential to her platform was infrastructure investment, as the basis of a good economy is good infrastructure.
As far as labor issues, Ross sees wage stagnation, underemployment, and workers losing benefits as major setbacks for all of North Carolina's workers. In fact, she stated that "wage stagnation was, by far, the biggest issue facing North Carolina workers in all trades", and that unions are essential moving forward to ensure that all workers have a living wage and retain benefits in an ever-changing economic outlook.
We here at Local 553 wish Ms. Ross luck in the Democratic primaries on March 15th!
*IBEW 553 does not endorse candidates for political office during the primary season.*

In Victoria Falls most people voted for Morgan Tsvangirai, hoping that he would bring change and a return to better times. But this town of about 50,000 people, Zimbabwe's trademark tourist mecca, is a sad example of the country's plight under Robert Mugabe. To survive, Mugabe defies the world; to survive, Victoria Falls needs the world. As long as Mugabe remains in power, Victoria Falls will remain in economic limbo.
In August 1999 Mugabe officially opened The Kingdom Hotel at the Falls. Built at a cost of $26.3 million, it was the largest tourism investment in the country since independence in 1980. Cleverly modelled on buildings of historic central African empires, the Kingdom's d�cor is superb, most of it consisting of natural woods, thatch and stone. At the entrance stands a sculpture of 4-m-high African warriors, spears and shields raised. Water features cascade throughout the hotel grounds; kingfishers skim across the artificial lakes; mongooses scurry among the syringa, acacia, flame lily and bougainvilleas, while monkeys and baboons chatter in the baobab and giant fig trees. With luxury air-conditioned rooms, glitzy shops, four restaurants, three bars and a casino, it is a tourist's paradise.

Our 2015 Corporate Freedom Climbers summited Kilimanjaro today. Praise God! After starting their climb at 11:30pm last night, they climbed 3,920ft. to reach Uhruru Peak. Nearly every climber was able to reach the top.
After descending 7,200ft., the team has reached Horombo, their camp for the night.
"We're just so thankful that God has intervened on our behalf and the weather has been spectacular, and we've been praying for those we've been climbing on behalf of," said Tina Yeager, Freedom Climb director.
Thank you to everyone who has prayed for our team and the projects around the world that the Freedom Climb funds. Please continue to pray for the team as they climb back down the mountain – and for all those who are currently being trafficked, enslaved, and exploited; pray that God would bring freedom to them today.

Dick Groat does not have the fame of Bill Mazeroski, the immortality of Roberto Clemente, or the legend of Willie Stargell. Nevertheless, he was a mainstay of the Pittsburgh Pirates for a majority of his major league career, which spanned 1952 to 1967.
In the October 1, 1952 edition of the Sporting News, Les Biederman honored the rookie shortstop's special relationship with the city. "Of all the bonus babies the Pirates scouted, signed and put into major league uniforms during the first two years of the Branch Rickey regime, the one standout has been Dick Groat, Pittsburgh native who leaped from the Duke University campus right to the Big Time in June," wrote Biderman. "Groat had a choice of many teams when he completed his baseball curriculum at the North Carolina breeding grounds, but now admits he chose well when he picked the Bucs."
Groat's best year was 1960, the year that the Pirates beat the Yankees in the World Series; with a .325 batting average, Groat won the National League's Most Valuable Player Award. In his career, Groat compiled 2,138 hits and achieved a .268 batting average.
Though Groat displayed solidity in baseball, he might have had a career in basketball; at Duke, Groat was an All-American in both sports. In a 2014 article for the magazine GoDuke, Groat explained, "Baseball was always like work for me. Basketball was the sport that I loved, but it was baseball, where I knew I would make a living. I made a deal with Mr. Rickey (Branch Rickey, the general manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates at that time). I was a junior at Duke. I went home and worked out for the Pirates in the summer before I went back to Duke. After I had worked out he invited my mother and father to come to a game at Forbes Field where the Pirates played. I was sitting in his booth and he turned to me, remember I am only 20, I'm still a minor, he says to me, 'Young man, if you will sign a contract tonight, I'm going [to] start you against the Cincinnati Reds tomorrow night.'
"I said, 'Mr. Rickey that's not even fair. You know I want to play major league baseball [sic], but I owe my senior year to Duke and I am going back to play basketball and baseball. But I promise you, you make the same offer to me next spring and I will sign with the Pittsburgh Pirates.'"
Rickey relented.
After the 1962 season, the Pirates traded Groat to the Cardinals, where he became a vital part of the team's infield. In a 1963 Sports Illustrated article, Walter Bingham wrote, "Groat, still the same deadly opposite-field hitter he was when he won the National League batting title in 1960, uses a log for a bat and merely slaps the ball wherever it is pitched. While [Cardinals manager Johnny] Keane admires Groat's uncanny ability at performing the hit-and-run, he feels that Groat too often gives himself up to protect the runner. 'He's too good a hitter to be sacrificing himself.'"
Groat added another World Series championship to his résumé in 1964, when the Cardinals beat the Yankees in seven games.
After three season with the Cardinals, Groat played for the Phillies and the Giants—1967 was his last season.
In 2007, the College Basketball Hall of Fame inducted Groat. Four years later, the College Baseball Hall of Fame followed suit. Groat, like many athletes, pursued a broadcasting career after his playing days, but he did not join the ranks of Bill White, Tom Seaver, Keith Hernandez et al. Rather, Groat went back to his first love—he provides the color commentary for the radio broadcasts of the University of Pittsburgh Panthers men's basketball games.

24 reviews for LATEST HARVEST – 3L tins
I have been using Mother's Garden Olive Oil for three years now and can't imagine not having it in my kitchen. The oil contributes so much freshness, flavour and wholesome quality to all of my meals and it has quickly become a staple in my diet.
Thanks to the website I have become aware of the diatry benefactors that this fruit juice holds and as a student it is really wonderful to know I am very much getting my money's worth. I have shared Maggie and Martin's homegrown product and ethos with many family and friends, who have all been inspired by its quality and it's label's charm.
Also, it's accesible in regards to the process, where the oil comes from and the people who make it possible, something so rare in today's market.
Thank you so much and I recommend it to anyone. It's a true treat.
The first thing you'll notice about this oil is the colour, an intense fruity green which has nothing in common with the dull dark tones of the supermarket varieties. And then you taste it and the freshness and vitality of the olives hit you with a grassy green fruity bitterness and the aroma of a June hay meadow ! It is quite simply incredible stuff and, having first tried it a year or so ago, the only Olive oil I will use. Cook with it, dip it, drizzle it, and if you store it in a cold place and it solidifies then spread it on crusty bread like butter and it tastes AMAZING.
This oil is produced with the utmost care and respect and it shows. The health benefits are undisputed so get yourself a large bottle, use it daily, take long walks and enjoy life and you're sorted!
Vibrant, green and utterly quaffable, indeed I could quite drink a glass of the stuff. I pour it on everything – brown rice + olive oil + gros sel = a meal in itself. From a cooperative of olive growers in Catalunya. Delighted to have discovered Mother's Garden Oil and to have introduced it to friends and family.
Been getting the oil for a few years now, the quality and reliability are matchless!
This is absolutely lovely olive oil. It looks bright and vibrant, it smells of fresh grass and artichokes, and it has a mellow smooth fruity olive taste with delicious slightly bitter finish. The freshness really comes through, and it adds class to all boring supermarket salad leaves. It is great drizzled on grilled fish and vegetables. Ordering it is easy, and I was kept informed about when it was shipped to Britain and when it was sent out to me. It is wonderful stuff, and I highly recommend it. Many thanks.
Best olive oil I have tasted by a country mile – these guys care about their produce and it shows
I've been buying the 5 litre container for years now and give the 500ml bottles as gifts after a friend originally introduced the product to me. Consistently excellent, I wouldn't be without it in my kitchen.
Been using this fabulous tasting oil for many years.
I use it for everything; roasting, frying, dressings, in cake recipes that use oil..
the Best Olive Oil for freshness and taste ever.
I'm with Delia – this is top olive oil. In fact, I don't think I've had better and I like to think of myself as a (not very gifted) amateur connoisseur. The taste, consistency and aroma are fabulous. What's more, the value for money is stonking, especially if you get the 5 litre bottle. Be warned, though – it probably won't last as long as the stuff you currently buy, because you'll use it whenever you get the chance.
Absolutely fantastic olive oil with such a fresh taste and smell ideal for cooking with, drizzled over pasta, as a dipping oil for bread….. the list is endless.
This olive oil is simply delicious. We use it not only to cook with, but as a seasoning on salads, cooked vegetables, pasta and rice. As well as tasting great this also makes meals healthier as olive oil makes the nutrients in other foods more easy for the body to absorb, which is a great excuse to enjoy it with every meal! It is also a nice feeling knowing that by buying this oil rather than the sorry supermarket offerings we are supporting a family business that really cares about its product and its customers.
I have been using this fantastic olive oil for over 5 years and highly recommend it. Great colour, fresh taste and aroma. In addition to the excellent quality, I love that it is made by enthusiastic, caring people. Brilliant delivery system. Thank you Maggie and Martin.
I have just taken a most efficient and fast delivery of a new 5-litre barrel of this fantastic Olive Oil. I have been using it for about six years now and don't use anything else! It's much the freshest of anything I have tasted from the supermarkets and certainly as economical if bought in barrels and decanted into a smaller vessel to pour when cooking. The smaller bottles make excellent presents too. The oil is traceable and not subject to money making middlemen and is ethically produced. Whats not to like!
Totally deliciious olive oil, I put it on salads, vegetables, on toast, I highly recommend it, I couldn't contemplate using any other now!!
Great product, one of the best olive oils I have ever tested.
It tastes delicious! I got talking to a colleague at work, who acts as a Hub, so I got a 3 litre tin. I love this olive oil, it is so green and fresh tasting with a nice peppery finish. The first thing I used it for for in the River Cafe Crab, chilli pasta recipe, you really need good olive oils for such a dish and it lifted it to a new height. I am hooked and will be back for more…
The very very best…..I've had olive oil all round the world and this is hard to beat for taste, freshness, clarity, colour and fragrance…not too thick or thin, perfect for multiuses.
You can taste the sunshine and love in this wonderful oil.
Thank you.
The only olive oil I have allowed in the house for six years now. Without doubt the best – and best value – I have ever found.
I started off buying 6 bottles with friends. Then I bought a 3l tub and shared it with friends. Now I just buy 2 lots of the 3l and keep it all for myself! I use it in bread making, frying, pesto, humous and absolutely everything I can. I love it. And the flavour when drunk neat is incredible… so light and fiery! If you're wondering whether you should buy any – DO!
My family and I have been enjoying Mother's Garden olive oil in large quantities since 2016. We have tried one other oil in that time and have come back to Mother's Garden as it is consistently excellent, superb with a nice piece of sourdough and great with salad as well as in cooking. Good value, particularly when buying multiple three litre tins. And the producers are a pleasure to deal with. I hope one day to visit!
My partner Steve and I have been enjoying Mother's Garden olive oil almost from the very first year of its appearance, and just love it! We were lucky enough to stay in Martin and Maggie's holiday cottage one November with our daughter and a friend, and were taken to see the cooperative where the oil is pressed – it's so professional and they are all dedicated to providing a quality product. We have a small hub, and have introduced many other friends to this wonderful amber liquid which, as many other reviewers have said, is excellent value. It's part of our diet every day, sprinkled on bread, on salad, on tomatoes with basil – as Shakespeare said …"do I love thee, let me count the ways". I don't think we could live without it!
Totally delicious. I started out sharing an order with friends, and now find I'm getting through 2 tins in under a year. It tastes awesome – just a sip sets the taste buds dancing and the throat heats up! Yes, it's not cheap, but yes, it's so worth it. The cheap stuff has no zing. This is all zing!
Liquid sunshine in my happy tummy 🌻

What Hrithik Roshan wants, he gets!
Not happy with his new laptop ad, Hrithik Roshan gets ad agency to re-edit it
What Hrithik Roshan wants, he gets! Known to have an indomitable interest in the nitty-gritty, the actor apparently sent his new laptop ad back to the editing table to have it the way he wanted it to be.
The star's ad for a laptop brand had been on air for almost two months. However, Hrithik was apparently not happy with the way it looked. A source adds, "Hrithik had a problem with the way the ad ended earlier. He says 'huh?' towards the end and that is what has been on his mind ever since."
An industry insider says, "He was not getting positive reviews for the ad from his friends and his fans. They thought he seemed to be an arrogant person. Hence his request for the ad agency to rework the ending."

You've heard me on here complaining about the high cost of just about everything these days, so I decided to look into making my own bread. A friend loaned me a bread making machine and here's how he advised me to use it: first, his wife puts the ingredients in the bread machine and lets it do its thing. After that she lets it sit so the bread can rise, but before the machine can bake it she pulls it out and puts it in the oven, otherwise it comes out very dense.
He hasn't bought store bread in a couple of years now and that got me thinking I'd like a piece of that action. True, I get my bread at a day-old shop for $1 a loaf, but he thinks that it might even be a little cheaper this way, not to mention healthier. Now, I wouldn't quibble over a few cents and I suspect that in the long run it would about even out with the electricity used when making it, but it seems to make a lot of sense to have a large supply of ingredients on-hand to make your own bread if something happens. Whereas I might have enough bread in my freezer for a couple of weeks if supplies suddenly get tight a big bag of flour or wheat and the other ingredients on-hand would probably supply my family for a few months. We're not big bread eaters in my family, but when I want to make a sandwich it's nice to know the bread is going to be there.
I made my first loaf this weekend and I'm happy to say that it worked out pretty well. The bread was dense, nutty, and quite flavorful. The machine takes the ingredients and mixes them up amazingly well and then lets the dough sit inside where it rises. At that point I followed my friend's advice and pulled the dough out and cooked it in the oven. Later my wife and I had hot bread with butter (one of my favorite things to eat since I was a kid) and a few days later we still have about a half loaf still on the counter.
I know you can use many different ingredients when making bread and Chefbear wrote a post about that here.
My question to you is do you make your own bread? If so how many weeks/months of supplies do you have laid in? Do you do it by hand or do you use a machine?
All comments welcome.

BTW: Here's the bread machine I'm looking at. It's a little pricey, but if you're going to have something you're going to use a lot it makes sense to get what you want.

Subscribe to get periodic updates about Auburn Downtown Development.
The City of Auburn invites you to participate
The City of Auburn has been awarded a planning grant from the Atlanta Regional Commission's Livable Centers Initiative (LCI). Over the next six months, an updated plan will be prepared for downtown Auburn and immediately surrounding areas. TSW, an Atlanta-based planning consulting firm, has been hired to manage the process, which is being called, "Define Our Auburn, An LCI Study."
Vibrant and Rural are terms not generally used together. Healthy downtowns are vibrant, active, busy. Yet, it's important to honor Auburn's rural roots – that organic character and charm. The design will influence the experience for residents and visitors. So, how to design a feel that's both vibrant and rural? Town Urbanist, Lew Oliver does just that.
The Downtown Auburn plan will be constructed with a combination of funding sources and planning processes. The Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) is a key component of the funding and planning strategy.
From the street, it may seem like there isn't much happening on the Downtown project. But the team is working every day on things that aren't so visible. On March 4, 2019 the Mayor and City Council met for an extended work session to hear updates from the team and make some key decisions.
What's the right square footage for City Hall? How will the water and sewer lines get there? Which finance tools fit best in the market today? Working through the long list of such detail is the Downtown Auburn GA team.
The vision for Downtown Auburn includes a new City Hall complex, places for businesses to take root and grow, and new homes for residents to breathe life into the area and help support it all. So how do these things happen? Here's an overview of what's been done and what's coming...
View timeline
Auburn's vision for the downtown district began to take shape - visually - in a 3-day charrette, August 22-24, 2018. Gathering at TSW Planners, Architects and Landscape Architects headquarters in Atlanta, their professionals worked with engineers, city officials, partners, and citizens to talk through options. Sketches were then created to help illustrate the plan.
Downtown Auburn's visual image started to emerge during a 3-day charrette in August, 2018. Building on the Market Study, research was presented to help give direction to the plan. After two full days in Atlanta with discussion, drafting and adjustments, the event culminated in a big reveal presentation in Auburn.
Click on the Read More button below to view the Downtown Charrette Photo Gallery.
Auburn is a step closer to making its new downtown a reality with the presentation of the Downtown Auburn Real Estate Market Overview & Analysis on August 9, 2018. The report shared local and regional data related to population, housing, employment and other market trends and potential marketplace options for economic development. It will also be a helpful tool in targeting potential investors and businesses.
Among the key findings from the study:
What makes a great place to live? Similarly to how our opinions of what is beautiful might differ from person to person, what we look for varies. But there are consistent themes.
How do we make sure Downtown Auburn is a great place?
So, you heard a new and improved downtown is coming to Auburn. Why? We'll be talking about lots of reasons in the coming months, but primarily it's about three things:

Lesson plan includes...
Lesson Plan
Lesson 10: Using a Stimulus – Independent Writing
A 60 minute lesson in which students will independently write an informative text, using appropriate text structure, language and features.
This lesson plan includes the following resources:
Lesson Plan
Tuning In
- Explain to the students that they are now going to plan and write an informative text independently.
Teacher Instruction
- Select one of the 5 Informative Writing Stimulus Sheets that best suits the focus content of the unit e.g. The Natural World. Project the stimulus on the board and read through it as a class. Explain to the students that they will be writing an informative text based on this stimulus.
- Remind the students to apply their knowledge of informative text structure, language and features when writing their text. Encourage the students to refer to their copy of the Informative Text Checklist – Structure, Language and Features throughout the writing process.
- Teachers may wish for students to formally research the topic of the text before writing begins (depending on computer availability and internet access). If this is the case, provide the students with a copy of the Note Taking Graphic Organizer. Remind students to write dot-point notes and to translate all information into their own words when writing their text.
Guided/Independent Learning
- Monitor and support the students as they write their informative texts. Teachers may wish to set a time limit for writing, or they may allow the students to take as much time as they need to complete the task. Ensure that the students know exactly how much time they have and provide regular reminders of how much time is remaining.
Wrapping Up
- Once students have finishing writing their informative texts, encourage them to proofread and edit their work.
- Teachers may wish to collect this piece of writing and use it to assess the students' understanding of the unit objectives. The Informative Writing – Assessment Rubric may be a helpful tool for teachers during this process.
Extending Students
- Encourage strong writers to select a more challenging topic for the writing task.
Supporting Students
- Support weaker writers through the planning process, so they have a clear direction for writing.
Assessment Strategies
Suggested Assessment Strategies
- used strategic whole class or individual questioning
- observed student participation during learning activities
- recorded student progress on a checklist
- annotated student work samples
- collected and reviewed student work samples
- facilitated whole class or peer feedback sessions
- encouraged student self-reflection
- administered formal assessment tasks.

Today, a lot of families love to travel, using every school holiday and bank holiday to get away. The only downside to traveling as a family is that once the kids reach school age, you can only really get away in the school holidays when prices triple. How a lot of parents are getting around this issue is by investing in a holiday home of their own, so that when it comes to traveling all they have to pay for is the transport.
Obviously, buying a second home isn't going to come cheap, which is what puts a lot of families off of investing in property abroad or in regions of the UK that are popular travel hotspots. However, the fact is that holiday homes have fantastic rental potential in peak season and can bring in a fantastic income. If you've always dreamed of investing in a second home to use for family holidays and to rent out as an extra income stream, perhaps now could be the ideal time to buy?
To make the process of buying a holiday home a little easier, below are some useful tips and pieces of advice.
Be selective about the location
When it comes to the location of the holiday home that you buy, you need to be selective about the location. The first question that you want to ask yourself is, do you want it to be in the UK or abroad? Next, you need to determine what sort of area you would like it to be in, the countryside, near the sea, or in the city? Rural properties tend to sell at lower prices, but the rental potential will also be lower, whereas the potential for suburban and seaside properties tends to be much higher, like the seaside properties on offer from Lupain Estate Agents. What you also want to do is pick a destination that's easy to get to, either it's quick by air and flights fly all the time, or it's somewhere in the UK.
Never buy without viewing the property
It can be tempting to make an offer on a property that you've never seen before if it looks the part in the photos, but don't make this mistake. The fact is that photos can be deceiving, they can only show parts of a property, which is why it's so important to always view properties in person before agreeing to buy. If you can't view the property yourself, you could always send a trusted friend or family member to do so. Perhaps they could call you on video chat while they are there and give you a virtual tour of the property? Obviously, viewing the property in person is always best, but if you're not able to do that, a virtual tour can be the next best thing.
Think about the potential it has
One of the most important factors to consider when it comes to viewing a property that you are interested in investing in as a second-home is to think about the potential it has. What you want to do is look at the potential the property has as a holiday home for you and your family as well as for other families. What size is it? What facilities does it have? What area is it in? What you want to do is think about the potential that the property has, to ensure that it's a good fit for what you hope to use it for.
There you have it, everything that you should know if you're dreaming of buying your own holiday home.

Companies of all sizes and across virtually all industries routinely rely on certificates of insurance as proof that their counterparty, vendor or supplier has insurance, including an additional insured endorsement that may be required by contract. The certificate of insurance not only shows the types of insurance policies, limits of insurance and policy period, but also requires the additional insured or certificate holder to be notified when the insurance policy is cancelled. Specifically, the "old" ACORD certificate of insurance stated:
Should any of the above described policies be cancelled before the expiration date thereof, the issuing insurer will endeavor to mail ___ days written notice to the certificate holder named to the left, but failure to do so shall impose no obligation or liability of any kind upon the insurer, its agents or representatives.
Recently, the ACORD certificate and notice requirement was fundamentally changed. Instead of requiring that the certificate holder receive notice of cancellation, the form now states:
Should any of the above described policies be cancelled before the expiration date thereof, notice will be delivered in accordance with the policy provisions.
Consequently, unless the insurance policy itself requires that a certificate holder receive notice of cancellation, no such notice need be provided. As a result, an additional insured who relied on the certificate of insurance as evidence of insurance and of its status as an additional insured is no longer guaranteed that it will receive notice of cancellation unless the policy itself affirmatively requires such notice.
The question now becomes, what can a prudent company do to ensure that it receives notice that an insurance policy has been cancelled? Policyholders have tried at least three different approaches: 1) request that the insurance company issue the "old" certificate; 2) require the counterparty responsible for purchasing the insurance to provide notice of cancellation; and 3) request an additional insured endorsement that requires the insurance company to notify the additional insureds of cancellation. Each approach has its pros and cons.
An insurance company is unlikely to issue an outdated certificate of insurance. Brokers and insurance companies may respond that they are unable to use the "old" certificate of insurance without approval by state regulators or because of other licensing requirements. While it may be possible to have regulators approve a different certificate that includes the notice of cancellation provision, it is unclear whether insurance companies are willing to seek regulatory approval to use a certificate of insurance form that differs from the current ACORD form.
While requiring a counterparty to provide notice of cancellation may have initial appeal, this solution may not be ideal in all situations. A counterparty's failure to notify you of cancellation may give rise to a breach of contract claim and damages, but it may not fully address the situations in which your company may be in breach of its obligations, whether in keeping with the terms of its own insurance, other contract requirements or bid requirements, if insurance is cancelled. While any such breach of contract dispute is pending, your company may also have to fund defense and other payment obligations that would otherwise have been insured under the insurance policy. Careful drafting of insurance, indemnity and other risk transfer provisions, and a thorough assessment of the counter-party's ability to pay, may reduce the chances that your company will be left holding the bag if an insurance policy is cancelled without notice.
A third — and perhaps better — way to avoid the pitfalls created by the changes in the ACORD form may be to require that your counterparty purchase an insurance policy that requires the insurance company to notify additional insureds of cancellation. Because not all insurance companies offer such additional insured endorsements or policy language, it is important to work closely with your broker to ensure that the correct additional insured form or description of the additional insured coverage requiring notification is reflected in the contract.
The change to the ACORD certificate of insurance that removes the notice of cancellation requirement emphasizes the importance of reading the fine print — both in the policy on which you are named and in your contract with the counterparty. Although it was previously possible for a certificate-holder to rely upon a certificate of insurance and the requirement that a certificate-holder or additional insured be notified of cancellation as proof that insurance is in force, that may no longer be the case. Policyholders should consult with their trusted advisors, including brokers and outside counsel, to identify the most effective way to ensure that their commercial contracts — including their counterparty's insurance policies — require that they be notified if insurance upon which they rely is cancelled for any reason.

This is my first entry to what I hope to be nothing more than a personal log of my fitness journey. I was previously just posting my WOD (Work Out of the Day) on my facebook page, but realized that most of my friends and family were probably just bewildered by it. No one cares how much weight I dead lift and no need in trying to explain myself over and over to people who could probably care less. So I decided to start blogging as this seemed to be the vogue thing to do of late in the fitness community. And I must admit, since I started keeping track of my work out results a couple months ago, I have been pleased by my progression, which in turn has inspired me to do better. It has also encouraged me to continue working out, which is half the battle for most adults. We do just fine…. until we quit working out.
Anyway, there's not much to see here, but I chose to keep it public in the off chance I need to link to it or someone may actually get some benefit from seeing what a newbie 40 something male can do as part of an orchestrated workout program.
Thanks for stopping by!

Redefining Residence Halls
Residence halls are now providing opportunities to provide new presentation areas, as well as offering the chance to provide a wide variety of student services. Universities and campuses across the U.S. are considering ways to enhance the student experience by providing additional services such as tutoring, counseling, and technology support in residence halls. Some institutions are also considering embedding faculty in the building to assist students in their learning. This is an important step in providing services to the Millennial student of today. Today, learning occurs well beyond 5:00pm. The Internet is open 24 hours a day. This begs the question, "are we available to help students during the same time frame?" The photo (left) shows a technology space in Reuter Hall on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. It comes with a full complement of presentation equipment with remote control of the equipment, large front projection screen complemented with a large screen flat panel which can display presentation material, cable TV, or provide video conferencing capability.

hi Jim! Nice post about residence halls as learning spaces. Our newest hall at the UO is the Living-Learning Center, and it includes classrooms and presentations spaces with surrounding "touchdown" spaces for advising, consultation., etc. The library is working closely with Univ Housing on academic programming (not just in the LLC); for more info see
There's some good momentum here. All the best, Andrew B

Andrew, great information at U of Oregon. You are right on target with classrooms and presentation rooms in residence halls. It greatly helps promote collaboration. I am checking into your post. Thanks for visiting my learning space- I think they call it "life-long learning!"
