Always Ready: The Gaudian Family
Posted by Lt. j.g. Carl McLaughlin, Wednesday, March 6, 2013
The Coast Guard is in his blood. Caleb Gaudian is a few weeks away from shipping to Coast Guard basic training. He won't have much time in boot camp to ruminate on what brought him here, but his family history is rich with Coast Guard adventure.
After graduating high school, Gaudian went to college but felt restless. He didn't want to waste any more of his parents' hard-earned money if he couldn't decide what to study and why, so he went to his dad, Bryce, and asked him about his service in the Coast Guard.
Bryce Gaudian told him that it didn't start with his service, but with his great uncle, Marvin who volunteered in 1942 when World War II was at full bore. Marvin Gaudian served at Cape Hatteras on horseback beach patrols looking for debris and casualties from sunken Nazi U-boats. Amazingly, Bryce Gaudian didn't know about his uncle's service in World War II until after his own service ended in 1980. Caleb Gaudian wasn't so unlucky; he got to hear all about his dad's exploits in the Coast Guard.
Bryce Gaudian had been a "Morse code fanatic" growing up. One day, while reading a radio enthusiast magazine, he came upon an advertisement for the radioman rate in the Coast Guard, which has now evolved into the operations specialist rate. The rest is history. After graduating first in his "A" school class he had the choice of units at which to serve. He decided to fulfill another dream of his childhood, living in Alaska. He shipped out to Communication Station Kodiak where he reveled in a "fisherman's paradise," catching trout and hiking in the mountains while off duty.
Kodiak was just the first stop as Bryce Gaudian sailed the Pacific between the Arctic and Antarctic, Australia and the Galapagos aboard the icebreaker Polar Sea. The cutter broke the way through an ice shelf for a naval resupply vessel bound for McMurdo Research Station. The crew was granted ice liberty, which was fun until his wisdom teeth ruptured after having passed below the 60-degree latitude. How many people can say they had their wisdom teeth removed in Antarctica? The trip back was better, minus the 50-foot seas. They went to New Zealand for two weeks. They had swim call in the Galapagos trench. While patroling near Hawaii, they rescued a distressed Japanese fishing vessel off of Kingman Reef. The crew of the vessel was so grateful they donated more than 400 pounds of fresh tuna to the Polar Sea. As they were returning from that patrol, Bryce Gaudian could see the ash from Mount St. Helens drifting out over the ocean; it had just erupted.
After hearing the stories about his great uncle and his father, Caleb Gaudian was sold. There was just one problem. He was a 235-pound former all-conference football player. The weight limit for his frame was 197. The recruiter told him to try again after he lost 40 pounds. Undeterred, he lost 50. At a sinewy 187 pounds he strode back into the recruiting office and was accepted for training. Caleb Gaudian already knows how he'd prefer to serve. His goal is to become an Aviation Survival Technician. He's well aware of the intimidating attrition rates at AST "A" school, but as usual, he's undeterred.
The Coast Guard will be glad to have him; we take pride in our rich history. Having the Gaudian family legacy continue can only enrich that history; the Gaudian's embody Semper Paratus.

Nothing feels as good as bringing a smile to a friend's face, especially when they could use some cheering up. There are a lot of ways to show someone that they are special to you and to bring some much-needed laughter into their life. Here are a few creative ideas for brightening someone's day.
Change of Scenery
Sometimes all it takes to bring up someone's mood is a fresh, positive outlook. This can be easily achieved with a change of scenery. There are a lot of great opportunities to get out and take in some fresh air. Here are a few of them:
- Go on a walk.
- Take a day trip to a nearby city or hiking trail.
- Go on a road trip. The destination isn't important; the journey is what counts.
- Visit a nearby park, restaurant, or coffee shop that neither of you has been to before.
- Go on a shopping trip. Retail therapy isn't always the answer, but it's fun!
The point of providing a change of scenery is to get someone's mind working in ways it hasn't been and to shake off any stagnation. Sometimes getting outside, breathing in fresh air, and appreciating nature is the answer. On the other hand, observing people and having the opportunity to form new relationships can be cathartic. Whatever you decide on, getting your friend out into a new environment and spending valuable time with them is bound to create great memories and truly cheer them up.
A simple phone call or note can completely turn around someone's day. Just reminding them that someone cares can be all it takes. This can be as simple as a post-it note or a text message, or as involved and creative as your imagination allows. Consider sending an eCard to let them know you're thinking about them. You can personalize a design you know they'll appreciate—add an inside joke, or something that will make them laugh. Sending a cute encouraging message reminds them that you are there to talk and that you care about them.
It's been said that food not only nourishes the body, but the soul. Studies show that eating together brings people closer and strengthens relationships. This emotional connection to food explains why intense emotional states can lead to specific cravings.
Stress causes cravings for salty foods; craving creamy foods such as ice cream and pudding indicates nostalgia, and sweetness, of course indicates sadness.
Knowing what foods help improve certain moods can certainly help you cheer up a friend. Plan a movie night with some popcorn; bake them some cupcakes or their favorite cookie. Not only will the food itself help, but knowing that you put in the effort will remind them they are loved.
By providing positive experiences for your friends, you're sure to bring a smile to their face. Whether they are going through a rough spot in life or just having kind of down day, you can remind them that they are loved and that life is good. Taking the time to make little gestures will also strengthen your connection to them and lead to a more genuine relationship.Laughter is the best medicine, so use your comedic skills to your friend's advantage. Sometimes laughing at a situation makes it better. If you can laugh at something, you're more likely to look on the bright side. So bring some humor into your friend's day. If it doesn't make things better, it will at least take their mind off things.

The Question of the Commons
Edited by Bonnie J. McCay and James M. Acheson
The University of Arizona Press
This collection of eighteen original essays evaluates the use and misuse of common-property resources, taking as its starting point ecologist Garret Hardin's assertion in "The Tragedy of the Commons" that common property is doomed to overexploitation in any society. This book represents the first cross-cultural test of Hardin's ...
Oyster Wars and the Public Trust
The University of Arizona Press
Who owns tidal waters? Are oyster beds common holdings or private property? Questions first raised in colonial New Jersey helped shape American law by giving rise to the public trust doctrine. Today that concept plays a critical role in public advocacy and environmental law.
Bonnie McCay now puts that doctrine in perspective by ...

ATTENTION: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are canceling all external organizations' meetings and events at the CNY Philanthropy Center until August 31, at which time we will reassess based on the most current information. Contact us for more information.
The University Club building at 431 East Fayette Street was built in 1917 as the home for the University Club of Syracuse. The building cost close to $100,000 to complete. Designed by architectural firm Taylor & Banta, the new Georgian clubhouse became a distinguished landmark in the Fayette Park area.
Officially occupied on October 1, 1917, the building featured a lush bar, dining room, ballroom, library and twenty comfortable dormitory rooms that could be used by businessmen visiting Syracuse.
Tucked between the Hayden Hotel and the Wolcott Restaurant & Tea Room, the pillared and gracious Georgian Revival building provided members with a new headquarters to meet in comfortable privacy. The Club was wildly popular, maintaining a waiting list with hundreds of applicants.
In November 1930, construction began on a three-story addition to the clubhouse that cost $30,000. The new addition, designed by A.L. Brockway, housed handball and squash courts, a gymnasium, steam room, locker room, rub room and six additional dormitories. The private rooms were lavishly decorated with fox-hunt paintings and well-maintained Stickley Furniture.
The University Club of Syracuse was founded in 1899 by Dr. John Van Duyn, the only American surgeon to serve behind the front lines in both the Civil War and World War I. He formed the club to provide a meeting place for the college educated men of the city and to create a forum for discussing a spectrum of current issues.
Over the years, the University Club morphed into a private social society and meeting place where the area's elite conducted business, socialized and shared common interests. Members discussed matters from business to politics, knowing that their conversations would never go beyond the front door.
Those wishing to join had to be sponsored by one member, seconded by another and acquainted with three other members. Activities included everything from lectures by industry leaders and college chancellors to concerts, big-band dances and stag parties.
The Club drew its share of celebrity visitors over the years including Governor Nelson Rockefeller, who held press conferences in the club ballroom, and Woodrow Wilson. Richard Nixon once made a stop at the clubhouse for lunch during his unsuccessful 1960 presidential campaign.
For its entire history an all-male social club, the University Club did not change its membership requirements until after its 80-year anniversary. Given that many members conducted business at the club, women thought it important to gain access to the entire facility. In 1980, women were invited to join the club as members for the first time.
Facing financial troubles in 1986, the Club reluctantly decided to leave its home on East Fayette in favor of a less-expensive, modern space in the Atrium on Clinton Square. Club leaders saw the sale as a means to escape debts while generating new interest.
The Club lost almost 400 members when it left its clubhouse for new space in Clinton Square. Total debts of over $250,000 finally forced the Club to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 1990. The University Club of Syracuse officially dissolved on April 2, 1990.
Green & Seifter purchased the building in May 1986. The firm intended to renovate the space and move its offices there. Eighteen months later, Green & Seifter put the building back up on the market deciding instead to renew its lease at One Lincoln Center.
Skaneateles Savings Bank purchased the building in December 1987. The first floor was converted into a full-service bank. The location was chosen to better serve the bank's commercial customers in the downtown area as well as to establish a presence in the city's banking district. Renovations of the building included the construction of a drive-up window, elevator and handicap accessibility. After renovations were complete, Skaneateles Savings Bank occupied half of the building's space and rented the rest to commercial clients. Most of the historic elements that had characterized the University Club s dining and social rooms were removed during renovation to create new commercial space. The new branch was ready to open for business in November 1988.
In January 1999, Skaneateles Savings Bank was acquired by BSB Bank & Trust. The Fayette Street branch continued business under that name.
BSB renovated much of the building to fit its needs while housed there. In 2001, remodeling contractor McClurg Associates completed an $82,000 project to rebuild the building's facade and porch while staying in character with the building. In April 2003, BSB announced it had spent $1.3 million in equipment and renovations of the building's basement. This space would be used as a check processing and call center. The basement had at one time housed a squash court and a half basketball court.
At the end of 2003, Partners Trust Bank acquired BSB Bank & Trust. The Fayette Street branch and check processing center continued business under the new name.
In December 2007, M&T Bank took ownership of the building through its purchase of Partners Trust Bank. M&T consolidated many of its Onondaga County branches and soon put the University Club building up for sale. M&T Bank sold the building to the Community Foundation on March 31, 2009.

Christmas may be over, but the savings are far from done. After Christmas is a great time to shop and save. Post-Christmas deals can be found both in stores and online, as retailers shed seasonal and excess merchandise to make room for new stock. This can lead to substantial savings for shoppers, especially if you know what to buy. We're sharing some of the best purchases to make after the holidays.
5 Things to Buy After Christmas
- Holiday decorations and supplies. This one is a no-brainer. As soon as Christmas is over, retailers significantly slash all holiday-related merchandise so they don't have to store it until next year. Stock up on gift wrap, decorations, paper goods, clothing, candy, and more.
- Gift sets. Retailers fill their shelves with easy-to-give gift sets during the holidays and then rush to get rid of them as soon as Christmas is wrapped up. Purchase these sets now to keep on hand for presents throughout the year or to keep them for next holiday season.
- Cold-weather clothing. Retailers start bringing in the spring clothing while there's still a chill in the air, so expect to find fall and winter clothing on clearance. Look for long-sleeved shirts, jeans, and sweatshirts/pants, along with outerwear like coats, scarves, gloves, and snow boots.
- Fitness equipment. As the New Year approaches, you will start to see sales for fitness equipment of all sorts. Many people make a New Year's resolution to lose weight and/or get in shape, so retailers are happy to provide slashed prices on everything you need to be a better you for in the year ahead.
- Toys. Another remnant from pre-holiday stock-ups, retailers let go of some of their toy selection after Christmas. This can be a great time to stock up for gifts throughout the year or for next Christmas.
Get the Best Post-Holiday Steals When You Shop with FreeShipping.com
Shop from the comfort of home and get the best deals when you utilize your FreeShipping.com membership. Members enjoy 10% cash back, free shipping, exclusive coupons and discounts, and a search tool that offers you instant price comparisons on any item sold through our cash-back network of over 1,000 top online retailers.
Start your post-holiday search with Macy's. You will get department-store quality at prices your budget can afford. You'll find items for women, men, children, and the home on sale and clearance. Didn't get exactly what you wanted for Christmas? Make up for it and enjoy after-Christmas savings.
Start the New Year with a fresh look for your home with help from Pier 1 Imports. This is one of my favorite home décor and furniture stores, because I love the global, artisan feel of their merchandise. Look for discounts on seasonal items, furniture, pillows, rugs, curtains, tableware, wall décor, and much more.
In my family, going to Walgreens on or after Christmas was somewhat of a tradition. That's when they mark down everything from Christmas candy to decorations to gift sets. If you're looking for great deals but don't want to venture out into the cold, you can check out their website.
Post-holiday sales are a great way to catch fantastic deals after Christmas is wrapped up. Whether you're buying the gifts you didn't get for Christmas, stocking up for next year, or just taking advantage of some good deals, shopping after the holidays can yield serious savings.

By Gerry Smith and Anousha Sakoui
Walt Disney Co.'s deal with 21st Century Fox Inc. will transform Hollywood's most successful studio into an even more powerful force, potentially pressuring rivals to consolidate, squeezing theatre chains and furthering the industry trend of blockbusters and sequels.
Disney will acquire Fox's studio, cable channels such as FX and National Geographic, and international assets in a deal valued at $52.4 billion, the companies said Thursday. The deal can be completed in 12 to 18 months if regulators approve it, Disney said.
"Disney is becoming the Walmart of Hollywood: huge and dominant," said Barton Crockett, a media analyst at B. Riley FBR. "That's going to have a big influence up and down the supply chain."
This is the first major consolidation in Hollywood since Comcast Corp. swallowed Universal Pictures in 2011. With Fox and Disney under one corporate roof, the top six studios will shrink to five.
Comcast, which bought DreamWorks Animation last year, may feel it must buy another studio to stay competitive. Meanwhile, smaller independent studios, like Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, or larger entities such as Viacom Inc.'s Paramount Pictures, could face more pressure to sell.
Getting bigger would give studios more content and intellectual property, while cutting costs, helping them create movies that dominate the weekend box office, Crockett said.
Fox would give Disney, even more, leverage in negotiations with theatre chains, like AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc., which have been undergoing their own wave of consolidation. Disney asked some theatres for a greater share of ticket sales for big films like "Star Wars," according to a person familiar with the situation. Usually, the revenue is evenly split but on very popular films, Disney can claim more than 60 percent.
Disney could try the same tactic again with Fox's popular film franchises like "Avatar," which has four big-budget sequels in the works. Disney and Fox combined for 40 percent of ticket sales in 2016 in the U.S and Canada, according to researcher Box Office Mojo.
"We would expect Disney's increased scale to be a meaningful negative to exhibitors," Rich Greenfield, an analyst at BTIG, wrote in a note Wednesday. AMC shares are down more than 50 percent so far this year.
A Disney-Fox tie-up would follow years of growing concentration at the box office, with most ticket sales going to a smaller number of movies. Last year, the top 10 films accounted for 34 percent of the total, up from a historical average of about 28 percent, according to Doug Creutz, an analyst at Cowen & Co.
One looming question is whether Disney will distribute any movies under the Fox label, or increase its output at all. So far, Disney's strategy has been to narrow the number and type of movies it makes to focus on big-budget, family-friendly franchises. Fox has put out 22 flicks so far this year. Disney has distributed just seven, yet still may end the year with the highest box-office sales of any studio with the latest "Star Wars" opening this week.
Disney could scale back the slate of indie dramas at Fox's Searchlight studio in favour of even more blockbusters with sequels, merchandise and theme park attractions. That could leave less room at theatres for "smaller speciality stuff" and independent players like A24, which distributes Oscar-winning films such as "Moonlight," Crockett said.
Owning Fox will also help Disney's TV production. Fox has one of the largest TV studios, and a stake in Endemol Shine, maker of reality shows like "MasterChef" and "Deal or No Deal." A larger slate of popular reality programming could allow Disney to license shows around the world, a profitable strategy that Warner Bros. has used with "The Bachelor."
To be sure, the ripple effect of a Disney-Fox combination in Hollywood will be muted somewhat by the recent arrival of Silicon Valley giants. Merging Disney and Fox would create one less buyer for movie and TV show ideas and almost certainly lead to job cuts. A few weeks after completing its acquisition of DreamWorks last year, Comcast cut about 200 jobs there. Tech companies like Netflix Inc., Apple Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. could fill the void by buying more TV and movie scripts, and some job losses at Disney and Fox could be absorbed by these new entrants.
Disney Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger is preparing to introduce the company's own streaming-video services in the next couple of years. Disney movies that are now available on Netflix will be pulled off the service so Iger's company can offer them exclusively online. In an interview Thursday on Bloomberg Television, Iger said he'll probably do the same with Fox programming that's now available on HBO and Netflix.
"They have a relationship with Netflix and HBO, but we will be looking at more direct-to-consumer opportunities for our company," Iger said.
Disney's purchase of Fox leaves unclear the futures of Fox film studio chief Stacey Snider and Dana Walden and Gary Newman, co-chairmen of Fox Television Group, since Disney already has a successful studio chairman in Alan Horn, and Ben Sherwood leads Disney's ABC Television Group.
Amid the distraction of an impending deal, Fox studio employees have been soldiering on. Late Wednesday, senior members of the 20th Century Fox film team were making their way to the East Coast for the red-carpet premiere of the movie "The Post," a continent away from the merger brewing in L.A.

Hello James Ruse,
Hopefully your holidays have been both enjoyable and productive. Of course as always many students took the opportunity to use the Library's Unlimited Holiday borrowing.
Thanks to all the people that have returned their borrowed books already, this is just a reminder to those who perhaps haven't finished reading their books yet to return them when they have.
Happy reading.

Asha, Lori & Ghandi
VSA Tennessee Ambassadors
Asha Patel, a junior at MTSU, was encouraged by MTSU Communications Professor Lori Kissinger to look into the collegiate chapter of VSA Tennessee. She is one of many VSA Ambassadors who serve children, teenagers and young adults with disabilities. "This past fall, the group has had more student participants than at any time in the four year history of the group. They have also had more programs and activities to reach out to the community. It has been wonderful to see the group thrive and grow. Its success is greatly due to Asha," says Lori Kissinger, Executive Director.
A native of India, Asha is trilingual! She is achieving a double major at MTSU in Political Science and International Relations. Prior to VSA Tennessee, she had not previously volunteered. Yet one person suggested she get look into VSA Tennessee. She did, and she "decided to stay."
Asha considers Ghandi an educational role model. As he said, "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."

Cranfield and UK Irrigation Association win international award for UK agriculture
Posted: Friday 24th December 2010
Experts from Cranfield Universitys Centre for Water Science and the UK Irrigation Association (UKIA) have won the prestigious WatSave 2010 Technology Award for their research and promotion of on-farm reservoirs in the UK.
The winning project, undertaken by Cranfields Dr Keith Weatherhead and Dr Jerry Knox, and Dr Melvyn Kay, Executive Secretary of the UK Irrigation Association, promoted the use of on-farm reservoirs to conserve surplus winter water for use in summer droughts, saving the summer water for other uses, including the environment.
The team researched the wide range of problems that UK farmers face in constructing reservoirs, and developed guidelines to help from concept to commissioning. The resulting information booklet, Thinking about an irrigation reservoir?, was delivered to 2500 farmers and agri-businesses and followed by a successful one-day UKIA national conference, training courses and farm reservoir visits.
The annual International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) WatSave Awards recognise outstanding contributions to water conservation or water saving.
The judges noted that though this was not a new technology, its application here, by water professionals campaigning for farmers to invest in storage on their own land was worthy of award. The construction of on-farm reservoirs [in the UK] has provided the water security essential to achieve timely production of high quality food that reduces water wastage from field to plate.
The research was funded by the Environment Agency and supported by the UK Irrigation Association, the East of England Development Agency, Natural England, the National Farmers Union, the Country and Land and Business Association and numerous individual UKIA members.
The information booklet can be downloaded from www.ukia.org/eeda_strategy.htm

Peter Kirk has tagged me with a rather interesting meme which asks rather more difficult and meaningful questions than the normal 'what is you favourite ice-cream?' thing that goes the rounds. There are four questions and I might get round to answering all of them.
1. if the nature of god is omnipotent, benevolent, and anthropomorphic (that god is a person, who sees suffering as wrong, and can change all of it), why does god not act to relieve all suffering, or at least the greatest amount of suffering for the greatest amount of people the greatest amount of time?
2. if you were god, and you were omnipotent and benevolent, how would you respond to suffering?
3. if this is not the nature of god, what is the nature of god, that allows suffering in the world?
4. if these are the wrong questions to ask, what are the right ones?
Let me take number two first because it's the easiest. If I were god, I'd mess everything up. No doubt my motivations would be good, but lacking wisdom and omniscience, I'd never be able to see all the consequences of my actions. Being good and powerful is not enough. Introducing rabbits to Australia would be nothing alongside the well intentioned disaster I could cause.
The problem with the other questions is that they can be answered in two ways.
There is the intellectual, philosophical question of why God allows suffering which deserves an intellectual and philosophical answer. My answer to this would be more or less a mixture of Peter's answer (God allows suffering so as not to restrain human free will), Jim West's answer (people cause suffering, not God, so don't blame him) and God's answer to Job (do you really think that you are capable of understanding why I do what I do?). The problem with all of these answers is that they do not satisfy, which is why theologians and philosophers have debated the subject for centuries and still keep on at it. They've even invented a cool name: theodicy for the question.
More important to me is the second way in which this question is asked. The deep philosophical question can actually hide a heartfelt cry of "I'm hurting so much, why doesn't God stop it?". The pastoral question of why God allows me or my loved ones to suffer is much more urgent than the dry, objective stuff that some theologians turn out. Dave Burke, writing on this subject says the following:
Of all the people he met who were suffering terrible pain he never offered a theoretical explanation to any of them. He never once gave any of them a lecture on philosophy or the theory of suffering. Instead he told them to trust God, whatever the circumstances, to hang on to the one who could help them.
And to me, Jesus is the answer to the heart cry of 'why does it hurt so much?'. You see, I don't know why God allows suffering – I can give answers, but they won't satisfy. But I do know that God cares deeply and more than that, I know that he suffers with us. Jesus Christ understands our suffering as only a fellow sufferer can. He didn't remain in heaven, watching human suffering from a distance, he came down here to the earth and got involved with human life at its very worst and through his suffering he brought the promise of peace and reconciliation for the whole of creation.
Why does God allow suffering? I dunno, but I do know that when people suffer, he cares and he feels their suffering and that he alone can bring healing and peace to a broken world.

9.1.17 "My Week In Review"
This past week has been really fun. I started a new Instagram account dedicated to my blog and the brands I work with and am obsessed with. I love to work with companies that I really believe in. There are so many bloggers who are willing to just work with anybody to get free products and I find that so sad. I would hate to find out that the bloggers I love don't really actually use the products they post about and are only in it for the gifted merch.
I spent last weekend down the shore shopping for vintage gems in the mornings and laying on the warm sand in the afternoons. Long Beach Island, a coastal community, is starting to get less saturated with the summer rush and the pace is starting to slow down... I LOVE IT.
When I woke up on Saturday I just couldn't get myself together. I didn't have the energy to put together a whole outfit, yet I still would not allow myself to leave the house looking like a homeless man from New York City! So, because I wanted to wear something comfortable and still look put together, I grabbed for my favorite polo: Rhoback. Rhoback is an active wear, performance style company that combines an active lifestyle with really stylish and comfortable clothing. My favorite part about this polo is that the color NEVER loses it's shape! Most polo shirt collars start to flop and lose structure throughout the day.... this is my pet peeve!!!! By pairing my Rhoback polo with some L.L. Bean shorts I was honestly ready to take on anything!
So while shopping some reclaimed wood and vintage shops in Long Beach Island I came across this amazing store, "Garden State Surf + Art." I am such a home decor lover and this place had the most amazing vintage framed photos and things that you would expect to find in a well decorated and cozy beach house. Unfortunately I have redecorated my bedroom so many times already that I don't think I can fit another thing in there! But, I still can't help but look!😊

Syria, Turkey crisis spices up cumin exports from India4 min read . Updated: 17 Oct 2012, 10:56 PM IST
Indian exports expected to be higher than last year despite slowdown in global demand
Indian exports expected to be higher than last year despite slowdown in global demand
Ahmedabad: Prashant Shah, head of sales at Jitenkumar Vivek Kumar, a proprietorship firm, keeps close watch on a computer screen that keeps ticking over with live changes in commodity prices. But every now and then, his attention shifts to a news channel running on a television set on the wall that flashes news of the unrest in Syria and the nation's deteriorating relationship with Turkey.
Shah is one of the traders in Unjha, a small town in Gujarat that's known as the Spice Bowl of Asia, who have directly or indirectly gained from exports of cumin or jeera this year.
The turmoil in Syria and its worsening ties with Turkey have hampered their efforts to trade in the spice, diverting business to India, the largest producer of cumin in the world. Syria and Turkey are India's closest rivals for cumin in the international market.
At least 60% of India's cumin output is from Gujarat, and Unjha is the world's largest trading yard for the spice.
Cumin accounts for 7-8% of India's total spice exports. Last year, it exported 45,500 tonnes of cumin, valued at ₹ 644 crore, according to Spices Board India and many industry watchers expect it to be much higher this year. That could surge by as much as 50% this year, according to some in the trade.
In India, cumin is a winter crop sown from October and recent spells of rain in Gujarat have brightened the prospects of a good crop.
"This year, till August, India has already exported 35,000 tonnes of cumin (about 75% of the export target set by the government)," said Yogesh Mehta, chairman of the Indian Spice and Foodstuffs Exporters' Association. "The arrival for crop in Syria, the second largest producer after India, starts in June-July. The country has about 22,000-23,000 tonnes of cumin in the fields, but could ship only 2,000 tonnes so far due to the political scenario there. Also, India offers one of the lowest prices."
In a normal year, according to Mehta, Syria would have exported at least 10,000 tonnes in the first two months. He expects Indian exports to be higher than last year despite slowdown in global demand.
Cumin traders in Gujarat saw a similar boom in 2006 when the conflict between Israel and Lebanon resulted in the sea routes from Syria and Turkey to West Asia getting blocked.
Exports were high last year and Indian exporters got a better price due to crop failures in Syria and Turkey.
"The area under cultivation in Syria has gone down drastically," said Bhaskar Shah, managing director of Jabs International Pvt. Ltd, the largest exporter of cumin in India. Syria used to produce about 50,000 tonnes of cumin every year, he said. Turkey produces about 6,000 tonnes of cumin annually.
Production in Syria and Turkey is expected to fall by 40-50%, according to a 13 October report by Angel Commodities Broking Ltd.
Shah estimates that India has so far already exported about 50,000 tonnes this year till mid-October due to the crisis in Syria and Turkey.
"Going by the current scenario, India will export at least 70,000 tonnes of cumin, the highest ever," he said on the sidelines of a seminar on the spice organized by Commodity World, a Gujarati newspaper daily and Gondal market yard in Gondal on Monday.
Shah said his company accounts for 60-65% of India's total cumin exports.
Other countries that produce cumin are Iran, Pakistan, Morocco, Egypt, Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, North America and Chile.
The US, the UK, Dubai, Nepal and Brazil are some of the largest importers of cumin in the world.
Besides the supply constraints facing Syria and Turkey, India has introduced stringent pre-shipment quality checks that have helped increase its share in the global market, said M.R. Sudarshan, director (marketing) at Spices Board, which is in the purview of the commerce ministry.
"Production of cumin in the 2011-12 season in India is around 38-40 lakh bags (of 55kg each) or 2.2 lakh tonnes, higher by about 10 lakh bags as compared to 29 lakh bags in 2010-11," according to Angel Commodities report.
According to the Gujarat government, cumin was sown in an area of 368,000 hectares, higher by about 50% compared with last year, while in Rajasthan, cumin was sown in an area of around 303,000 hectares this year versus 330,000 hectares in 2010-11. Many farmers had switched over from crops like moth and moong to cumin as they did not give good returns.
Despite large carryover stocks (700,000-800,000 bags) compared with last year (400,000-500,000 bags), cumin prices have not witnessed a sharp decline due to supply concerns in the global markets, according to the Angel Commodities report.
Spot prices shot up from a low of ₹ 13,345 per quintal in June and peaked at ₹ 16,580 in the beginning of August due to demand from the Gulf region during Ramzan. The demand has declined since Ramzan as export prices were high.
Exporters were keeping away from the market at higher price levels. However, due to lower supply in the international market from Syria and Turkey, demand for Indian cumin remained high, according to an October report by Agriwatch. Expectations of improvement in export orders may result in buying at lower levels.
The current political scenario will help cumin seed growers to chalk out plans for the next sowing season that will begin during the Diwali festive season. If prices remain attractive, the area under cultivation is expected to rise significantly, said Vimal Patel, managing director of Patel Ambalal Lalludas, a proprietorship firm in Unjha that trades in cumin.

Alexander Cartwright
|Alexander Joy Cartwright
Cartwright in 1855
|Alexander Joy Cartwright, Jr.
April 17, 1820
New York City, US
|July 12, 1892
(aged 72)
Honolulu, O'ahu, Kingdom of Hawai'i
|Known for
|Invention of the modern game of baseball
Alexander Joy Cartwright, Jr. (April 17, 1820 – July 12, 1892) is referred to as a "father of baseball". Cartwright is thought to be the first person to draw a diagram of a diamond-shaped baseball field, and the rules of the modern game are based on the Knickerbocker Rules developed by Cartwright and a committee from his club, the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club.[1] With the myth of Abner Doubleday inventing baseball debunked, Cartwright was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame as an pioneering contributor 46 years after his death.[2][3] Cartwright was officially declared the inventor of the modern game of baseball by the 83rd United States Congress on June 3, 1953.[2][4][5][6]
Early life and work
Cartwright was born in 1820 to Alexander Carwright, Sr. (1784-1855), a merchant sea captain, and Esther Rebecca Burlock Cartwright (1792-1871). Alexander Jr. had six siblings. He first worked at the age of 16 in 1836 as a clerk for a Wall Street broker, later doing clerical work at Union Bank of New York. After hours, he played bat-and-ball games in the streets of Manhattan with volunteer firefighters. Cartwright himself was a volunteer, first with Oceana Hose Company No. 36, and then Knickerbocker Engine Company No. 12.[1][7] Cartwright's ancestor Edward Cartwright immigrated from Devonshire, England to New England around 1661.[8][9] Cartwright married Eliza Van Wie, from Albany, on June 2, 1842.[7]
A fire destroyed Union Bank in 1845, forcing Cartwright to find other work. He became a bookseller with his brother, Alfred.[7]
Knickerbocker Base Ball Club
Cartwright led the establishment of the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club (after the Knickerbocker Fire Engine Company) in 1842. The Knickerbockers played a brand of bat-and-ball game called town ball on a field at 4th Avenue and 27th Streets.[1]
In 1845 Cartwright and a committee from his club drew up rules converting this playground game into a more elaborate and interesting sport to be played by adults. The original 14 rules were somewhat similar to but not identical to the English sport of rounders. Three exceptions devised by Cartwright included the stipulations that the playing field had to be laid out in a diamond-shape rather than a square used in rounders, foul territories were to be introduced for the first time, and the practice of retiring a runner by hitting him with a thrown ball was forbidden.[11] Cartwright is also credited for introducing flat bases at uniform distances, three strikes per batter, and nine players in the outfield.[12]
The first clearly documented match between two baseball clubs under these rules took place on June 19, 1846, at Elysian Fields in Hoboken, New Jersey. In this match, the Knickerbockers lost to the "New York Nine" by a score of 23 to 1.[13] Some authors have also questioned the supposed "first game" under the new rules. The Knickerbockers' score-book shows games during 1845 also. Those who have studied the score-book have concluded that the differences in the games of 1845 and 1846, compared with the specifications of the Knickerbocker rules, are minimal, such as fielding teams of seven players instead of nine.[citation needed]
In 1849, Cartwright headed to California for the gold rush, and then continued on to the Hawaiian Islands. His family came to join him in 1851: wife Eliza Van Wie, son DeWitt (1843–1870), daughter Mary (1845–1869), and daughter Catherine (Kate) Lee (1849–1851). In Hawaii sons Bruce Cartwright (1853–1919) and Alexander Joy Cartwright III (1855–1921) were born. He set up a baseball field on the island of Oahu at Makiki Field.[citation needed]
Cartwright served as fire chief of Honolulu from 1850 through June 30, 1863.[14] As advisor to King David Kalākaua and Queen Emma he encouraged the growth of baseball on the islands until his death on July 12, 1892, a year before the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893. One of the leaders of the overthrow movement was Lorrin A. Thurston who played baseball with classmate Alexander Cartwright III at Punahou School. He was buried in Oahu Cemetery.[13]
After about two decades of controversy, invention of America's "national game" of baseball was attributed to Abner Doubleday by the Mills Commission (1905–1907). Some baseball historians promptly cried foul and others joined throughout the 20th century.[citation needed] Cartwright was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1938.
New York City librarian Robert W. Henderson documented Cartwright's contributions to baseball in his 1947 book Bat, Ball, and Bishop, which Congress cited in recognizing Cartwright as the inventor of the modern game.[15] Although there is no question that Cartwright was a prominent figure in the early development of baseball, some students of baseball history have suggested that Henderson and others embellished Cartwright's role. The primary complaint is that touting Cartwright as the "true" inventor of the modern game was an effort to find an alternative single individual to counter the "invention" of baseball by Abner Doubleday.[citation needed]
Cartwright was the subject of a 1973 biography, The Man Who Invented Baseball, by Harold Peterson.[16] He was the subject of two biographies written in 2009. Jay Martin's Live All You Can: Alexander Joy Cartwright & the Invention of Modern Baseball supports Cartwright as the inventor of baseball, while Alexander Cartwright: The Life Behind the Baseball Legend by Monica Nucciarone credits Cartwright as one of the game's pioneers but not its sole founder.[17]
The Cartwright Cup is awarded to the Hawaii state high school baseball champions each year.[18] Makiki Field has been renamed Cartwright Field.[19]

The IPCC investigates allegations of gross misconduct involving three British Transport Police officers in relation to statements given after a man fell to his death from a multi-storey car park.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) investigation, which concerns the death of Stephen Church, 53, in Reading in 2011, is also looking at the "possible involvement of the BTP Federation" in the alleged misconduct.
The officers under investigation are two Reading-based male police constables, aged 33 and 40, and a 58 year old male detective constable, based in London, thought to be an officer with the British Transport Police (BTP) Federation.
Stephen Church was detained by British Transport Police officers on May 13, 2011, under the Mental Health Act. He had previously been spotted on train tracks in Reading. After being taken to Royal Berkshire Hospital with an injured hand, according to an IPCC spokesman, "he left the hospital and died after falling from a multi-storey car park nearby".
An initial IPCC investigation (routine for all deaths following police contact) into the BTP's handling of Mr Church had been due to report its findings at the conclusion of an inquest hearing which was due to start in February.
In a statement released this morning, a British Transport Police spokesman said: "BTP identified concerns following an internal investigation and referred the matter to the IPCC on Thursday, 24 January…the officers have not been suspended from duty at this time".
An IPCC spokesman said: "A new IPCC investigation will look at statements provided by two BTP officers after Mr Church's death and the possible involvement of the BTP Federation.
"The findings of the first IPCC investigation were to be released at the conclusion of an inquest hearing that was due to start in February. The hearing has now been adjourned by the coroner following new information from BTP".
The British Transport Police Federation, when contacted by Channel 4 News, declined to comment.

Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) just walked walked into the Democrats all-important caucus meeting tonight sounding defeatest about the chance that a Medicare buy-in or public option trigger will survive Sen. Joe Lieberman's (I-CT) decision to block the compromises this weekend.
Asked by a reporter if the Medicare buy-in will be pulled out, Harkin said "looks that way," before praising a Democratic health care bill without the two public option compromises.
"There's enough good in this bill that even without those two, we gotta move," he said. "All the insurance reforms, all the stuff we wrote so hard for prevention and wellness in there, the workforce development issues that we have in there, the reimbursement based on quality not on quantity — there's good stuff in this bill. It's a giant step forward, changing the paradigm of health care in America."
With that, Harkin turned and walked into the caucus meeting. Shortly after him came Lieberman, dashing into the room and taking no questions from the reporters swarmed around him.

One thing I have been wondering that I haven't seen written about or posted anywhere else is what about your co-workers post collapse if you were one of the lucky ones to still have a job? During the Great Depression, not everyone was unemployed. It will be the same this time around, folks will still have jobs. So what if you were lucky and your employer was still in business? Being a prepper, you probably have plenty of food to ride out a long while, especially if you raise and grow your own, so even in the event of hyperinflation or a food crisis, you ain't losing any weight. However, what if your coworkers are and they are eying the lunch you bring to work each day? I don't know about you, but most the guys who work at the shop I work at are already in a bind financially. Debt, child support, and legal trouble are the biggest causes along with plain old mismanagement. And they all know I prep (they don't know what I have or where I live though) because I've been trying to warn them for as long as I've been there. What if one were to try to follow me home? I've put a lot of thought into this, and I know the possible risks. I warn them because I care for them, even though I know I could get into a pickle over it.
I almost always keep at least a half a tank of fuel in the car at all times. I am also alert when I drive and keep an eye out for anyone trying to follow me, a good habit to cultivate now. It's not paranoia, just a calm alertness. I know those back roads like the back of my hand, most, if not all, of my coworkers, don't. Another good idea is that if none of your coworkers are bringing a lunch, don't bring one yourself. Stay as low key as possible. If they know already that you are a prepper, use comments like 'I wasn't prepared for this' or 'I didn't realize this would be so bad, I'm just as bad off as the rest of you'. If the majority can no longer afford decent clothes, dress as ratty as they do. The trick is to blend in as best as you can. Same with shaving and hair cuts, if they can't do it, don't do it yourself.
The same goes for living in your community. Look as they look and act as they act (so long as you're doing nothing wrong). The more you blend in, the more you'll be left alone. Those who stand out as having more than everyone else are the ones who will be targeted first. Hope this helps. May God grant you peace and protection.

Tara Westover's memoir Educated, released in February, gives an intimate look at her zealously religious upbringing in southeast Idaho, and her unlikely rise from having virtually no education as a child to earning her Ph.D. at Cambridge. While she speaks to her growth as a thinker and scholar, get ready for many macabre descriptions of life-threatening injuries as she describes how virtually every member of her family was impacted by her father's insistence that God would heal their wounds through her mother's tinctures, salves and midwifery experience.

Legendary Portland soul singer Ural Thomas brought the Pain to Spokane. Literally, his band is called the Pain, and they played nYne Friday night ahead of hometowners Super Sparkle. Thomas, sporting a Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck tie and wide-brimmed hat, mixed screamin' soul with smooth melodies, and at 79, he still has some moves. After the show, Thomas wandered through the crowd and talked with the audience. A friend asked him to recall the best show he'd seen recently. He raved about a performance from the kids in the Portland School of Rock. "They play with no fear," he says. "If you're ever in Portland, don't miss 'em." (MITCH RYALS)
The news of Anthony Bourdain's suicide was probably all the more shocking because the chef and TV host seemed anything but tortured, hosting his new season of CNN's Parts Unknown with the same biting wit and love of adventure he'd shown for eight seasons (and several seasons of his No Reservations show before that). While his travel/dining TV excursions make for great repeat viewing, I encourage you to read the book that launched his career. Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly is a memoir of his time hustling in New York kitchens, and it's a punk-rock and drug-fueled read that set the template for an utterly unique rise to fame.

text: Channeling is a natural form of communication between humans and angelic beings, nature spirits, non-physical entities, or even animals and pets. A channeler is very similar to a language translator or interpreter. They allow themselves to sense the non-verbal communication from another being and then translate it into human words. A channeler can choose who or what they want to channel. As long as the other party has an interest in communicating, the link is made and the channeling can begin. For instance, many people channel Archangel Michael that in itself is a form of energy and frequency. If he agrees to communicate with the channeler, the flow of non-verbal information begins. The channeler receives the raw information at a high sensory level and then converts it into human language.

Borge's Punctuation

Victor Borge was often called the "Clown Prince Of Denmark." He was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1909 to parents who were classical musicians. He started taking piano lessons at age 2 and he gave his first recital at age 8. Borge started as a serious concert pianist but it wasn't long before he developed his signature "stand up" routine. When he emigrated to the US in 1940, he didn't speak a word of English but he taught himself by watching movies and by 1941 he was working for Rudy Vallee and then Bing Crosby. Victor enjoyed a very successful career up to the end of his life. Here he is at the White House. Ike is president so obviously it's some time between 1953 and 1961.
I don't care how much better kids were in the olden days, there is NO WAY little Victor Borge was having piano lessons at 2! No matter how bright you are, your "sit still and listen" program is just not online at that age. Heck I'm pretty sure mine never got downloade… hey look, a shiny thing!
It blows my mind that this blog has nearly a year and a half worth of posts and, until last month, the song "Cute" never appeared. It was composed by Neil Hefti. I never knew it had lyrics but it does. The internet says they were written by Stanley Stein but I couldn't verify that. It's the perfect song for drum solos!
This excellent clip is from the show "The Hollywood Palace." This particular episode is from the 1964 season. This version of "Cute" features an eye crossing talent roster! There's an introduction from Victor Borge and drum solos by Loui Bellson, Philly Jo Jones, Shelly Manne and Irv Cottler plus the fantastic dancing of Caterina Valente.
Only one of these performers has been featured on this thread so far. There's no way I'd do them all justice in one post so I have decided to bestow the music industry's highest honor on them all and give them individual posts right here on this blog! I know it's a huge honor but these kids have talent and I want to make sure they finally get the recognition they deserve!

The long journey to turning Miss America into a reality show will end in a four-part TLC reality series this January.
The network previously announced this show, but reality programs related to the pageant haven't had success in actually making it from announcement to air. Last year, CMT ditched a planned reality series and aired a special instead.
On Jan. 4, TLC will debut Miss America: Reality Check, a four-part series that will air on Fridays. The show, filmed in high definition, "brings all 52 beauty queens together to live under one roof to undo everything they have learned about pageant basics and determine if their smarts, attitudes and looks hold up in contemporary society," according to a press release.
They will "participate in an intense set of events and challenges designed to prepare them for the finale event, a renewed competition that will redefine what it takes to be Miss America, a relatable and individual it girl' who can connect with today's modern woman," TLC said.

Digging up Bones and catching Fish!
I'd like to take a moment to explain to those of you who are new to my site a little about the philosophy I apply when creating tutorials.
If you already know about my philosophy, I would still suggest you read below as I have added a new concept to the whole idea behind them.
Tutorials for "mere mortals"
not so many years ago video tutorials were few and far between. In today's IT world there is a vast jungle of video tutorials available through the Internet. Unfortunately, although the numbers have increased by leaps and bounds the quality seems to have gone in the opposite direction. Looking at video tutorials on my main interest - video editing - I find that to follow many of them you have to have extremely quick visual reactions in able to follow the cursor as it shoots around the screen, clicking all over the place as a muffled voice speed reads a voice-over which is usually out of synchronisation with the visuals.
In other words you have to be some sort of superhuman to be able to follow and digest the information without having to replay the tutorial over and over again..
I am not a superhuman. I am a "mere mortal" and I prefer watching video tutorials which have been created for "mere mortals".
Taking my own preferences into consideration I always try and create my own tutorials in such a way that they can be of benefit to "mere mortals".
Bring a Fishing Rod
Many of you already know that my main philosophy in making tutorials for "mere mortals" can be summed up in my paraphrasing of the old Chinese proverb;
Give a man a fish and he can eat for a day.
Teach a man to fish and he can feed himself for the rest of his life
with that in mind I guess you could say that my idea of making video tutorials is to teach "mere mortals" how to fish!
. . . and a Spade!
Starting in 2017 I am going to use a third concept in the construction of my tutorials.
To understand the concept you have to study the behaviour of dogs!
Most dogs, as you know, if given a bone, will bury it somewhere in the garden. At a later date they will go sniffing around for it and when they locate the spot they will start digging happily and eventually dig it up. If you were to watch the dog sniffing around for the bone and then, when it located the bone, you were to push the dog aside, take a spade, dig up the bone and give it to the dog, The dog would not really be very happy. The reality of things is that dogs like digging up their own bones. They they get a kick out of enthusiastically uncovering the bone by their own efforts.
In the case of my tutorials, you are the dog and the tutorial is the bone. In the tutorials I will try and point you in the direction of the bone by giving you pointers and clues. Then it will be up to you to enjoy digging it up completely so that you feel satisfied with your efforts. I am not going to hand you the bone on a plate.
So there you have it.
To get the most out of my tutorials and to, hopefully, expand your skills and creativity in a stimulating and satisfying way you are going to need a spade and a fishing rod!

Are more working class students dropping out of university?
7th Aug 2017
Record levels of working class students are leaving university before completing their degree.
The proportion of young UK students from disadvantaged areas dropping out of higher education in England by their second year is at its highest level for five years, but it's not a record high. That's looking at full-time students on their first degree, and is based on educational disadvantage. Disadvantaged students, including working class students, are generally more likely to drop out than advantaged.
"Many working class and part time and older mature students are actually leaving university… there's record levels of students that are actually having to leave university before they finish their qualifications, and I think that's because of the government's policies."
Angela Rayner, 9 July 2017
The proportion of young students from disadvantaged areas leaving higher education in England after their first year is at its highest level in five years, but isn't the highest ever recorded.
Across the UK, and in England where the UK government controls education policy, the proportion of students dropping out a year into their first full-time degree increased slightly over the last two years. Over time it has remained steady or generally decreased depending on which type of students you look at.
Overall mature students are more likely to drop out of full-time degrees than younger students although the proportion doing so has been decreasing. Mature students are less likely to drop out of part-time degrees than younger students.
HESA told us that it doesn't publish any data on why students are choosing to continue or not with their courses.
Students from disadvantaged areas leaving higher education after a year are at their highest level in five years
Aside from students from the most advantaged areas, the proportion of UK students leaving higher education in England before their second year of study has increased over the last two years according to the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). Ms Rayner's office pointed us towards a report by the Office for Fair Access which used these HEFCE figures.
8.8% of young students from the most disadvantaged fifth of areas undertaking their first full time course left higher education after their first year in 2014/15. That's the highest level since 2009/10, when it was 9.3%. So it's a bit lower than the highest level recorded.
In comparison the drop-out rate for students from the fifth most advantaged areas stayed relatively stable at 4.9%.
The gap between students from the most and least advantaged areas has also widened since 2012/13.
Students who drop out in later years aren't measured in these statistics, which we'll discuss later on.
Disadvantage here is measured according to the rate of participation in higher education by young people in each area, so the most disadvantaged areas are those with the lowest rates of participation by young people.
This measure doesn't look specifically at individuals' socio-economic backgrounds. HEFCE says that "POLAR classification measures a specific form of disadvantage, namely educational disadvantage, in the form of a young person's likelihood of progressing into HE based upon where they live. Estimating educational disadvantage is not usually the primary purpose of other measures of disadvantage, and although there is known to be a correlation between disadvantage in general and a young person's chances of progressing into HE, the correlation is not always strong."
As well as the figures above, Ms Rayner's office pointed us to a separate report which looked at the link between the proportion of students at a university whose parents had "lower-level" jobs and the rate at which that university's students didn't complete their degree, and found that students from lower socio-economic backgrounds were more likely to drop out.
This report didn't look at trends over time.
Research from the Institute for Fiscal Studies also found that those in higher socio-economic groups were more likely to complete a degree than those in lower socio-economic groups.
The proportion of students leaving higher education in the UK is generally decreasing or stable
"Non-continuation rates among young, full-time first degree students [in the UK] has remained relatively steady over time with a more downward trajectory observed for mature entrants", according to the Higher Education Statistics Authority (HESA) which publishes the figures.
The proportion of students under the age of 21 not continuing in higher education in the UK in their second year of study was 6.2% in 2014/15.
It was highest for students at universities in Scotland (6.5%) and lowest in Northern Ireland (5.3%).
New mature students are more likely to drop out of full-time degrees, but fewer have been
Ms Rayner also mentioned mature students in her interview.
The proportion of mature students (those over the age of 21) not continuing with higher education after the first year of their full-time degree is generally higher than for those under the age of 21. It was 11.7% across the UK in 2014/15.
Across the UK the proportion of mature students not continuing beyond the first year of their first degree has changed most considerably in Northern Ireland. 2011/12 saw the lowest drop-out rate in Northern Ireland at 7.3%, but it has since returned to 15% in 2014/15—the highest on record, and closer to the levels seen in 1997/98.
Overall the individual countries of the UK have seen the drop-out rate among mature students generally decreasing since 1997/98, though they have levelled off or increased in the last few years.
Looking at students starting university again (as in, those not first time entrants), younger students are slightly more likely to drop out. Both proportions have generally been declining over the last 20 years.
The proportion of young part-time students who aren't continuing with higher education has fluctuated
The proportion of part-time students who don't continue with their first degree beyond the second year of study has fluctuated in the under 30 age group, and stayed roughly similar for the over 30 age group.
Projections on continuing with higher education show a similar trend
HESA also makes projections about the proportion of students it thinks will leave with a degree, and the proportion it thinks will leave higher education without gaining any kind of qualification or having transferred elsewhere.
This means we can have a rough idea of the full 'drop-out' rate—taking account of students leaving in their second, third, or later years of study.
It projects that for those starting in 2014/15 10.3% across the UK will leave without a qualification or a transfer. This proportion has remained relatively similar over the last three years and has been generally declining over the last 20 years.
A similar trend can generally be seen across all the individual countries of the UK.

Wallpaper newspaper by Union troops in Louisiana...
Item # 660598
October 31, 1863
UNCONDITIONAL S. GRANT, New Iberia, Louisiana, Oct. 31, 1863
* Extremely rare wallpaper title
This title is a great rarity which we have never before had the pleasure to offer. A single sheet printed on wallpaper, folded such that page 1 has news, pages 2 & 3 are wallpaper, and page 4 has additional news, this unusual newspaper was published by the 130th Illinois Regiment stationed in New Iberia at the time. I am not aware of any other Yankee newspaper having been printed in occupied Louisiana.
This is the volume 1 number 2 issue, and only two issues are recorded in Gregory and known to exist. Gregory notes just two institutions holding #1 (October 24) and only one institution having this, issue #2.
The front page has: "The Price of Treason" which has near the beginning: "...we are now chasing the fleeing, fugitive minions of Jeff. Davis across the swamps and over the prairies of Louisiana..." with much more, taking over 1 1/2 columns. Also on the front page is the: "Biography of President Lincoln" which carries over to take most of a column on page 4. The front page also has the: "Roster of Officers of the 130th Illinois" and the "Roster of Officers of the 97th Illinois".
In addition to the continuation of the Lincoln biography on page 4, there are also several news reports, including: "We learn that three or four of the 1st Louisiana cavalry were gobbled up by guerrillas a few days since..." and "Lieut. Fielding Phillips of company F, 130th, is now acting Quartermaster..." and "Forty-eight prisoners arrived here on Thursday from the front. They look a little the worse for wear." and a lengthy article: "A Sunday In New Iberia" which is very descriptive (see). There is also a great letter to the editor of the newspaper which includes: "Many are the hearts made glad by the circulation of even the first issue of the Grant. The 13th Army Corps remember with thrilling emotions of love & admiration the great general whose name stands at the head of your paper, & they love the name, the love the man, and are devoted to the cause in which he has been their leader. They have a peculiar respect & love for anything that has Grant before it as its beacon light to success, and they hail with raptured delight the "Conditional S. Grant" as a token of their fidelity to their great leader..." with a bit more (see).
Other content on pages 1 and 4 as well.
This newspaper measures 19 1/2 by 24 inches when opened. The wallpaper side has a grayish tone on white as the background with a pattern of yellow floral designs (all lightly inked; best observed at an oblique angle. The photo with the well-defined floral pattern is with the issue back lit. The other much more subtle is front lit.). As the photos show there is various old strengthening at the folds of the reverse, many of which were likely never needed. A few modern & very discrete archival mends. There is some wear at some folds with the loss on pages 1 & 4 being very minimal and affecting a few words.
One of the more rare Civil War newspapers we have had the pleasure to offer. For what it's worth, a little note which came with the newspaper reads: "This newspaper...was picked up in a deserted cabin in the South during the Civil War....by H.T. Antes, Army Surgeon."

Carolyn knew several of Kristin's other romance authors. When it was time for Carolyn to look for new representation, she reached out by email. Kristin signed her after reading only a partial of MY WICKED ENEMY. So rare is it to find an author who writes incredibly sexy yet intelligent romance.
Carolyn Jewel was born on a moonless night. That darkness was seared into her soul, and she became an award-winning author of historical and paranormal romance. She has a very dusty car and a master's degree in English that proves useful at the oddest times. An avid fan of fine chocolate, finer heroines, Bollywood films, and heroism in all forms, she has three cats and a dog. Also a son. One of the cats is his.

I was skeptical of this recipe, but everyone says it's good. So, I gave it a try. I blended all the ingredients listed. This made one huge serving. As you can see in the picture, I poured it into a huge glass, but there was still leftovers in the blender. It was good and sweet! I couldn't taste the spinach, but I could feel the texture of it, which wasn't all that appealing to me. I LOVE the idea of blending in the spinach for an extra serving or two of veggies. I will make this again, but won't eat it everyday for breakfast!
Tip: I've started chopping up bananas that are going old and freezing them for my smoothies. I've found this a great way not to waste those "going brown" bananas!
Time: 5 minutes. Super fast recipe!
Substitutions: I used 2 T. of peanut butter and I probably only added 2 cups of fresh spinach (all that would fit in my blender).

Single released 31st May, 2004
Following on from the Top 10 success of their debut single 'Love You Like Mad', VS are headed back in to the UK charts this summer with 'Call U Sexy', released on 31st May through Innocent Records.
Buy Call U Sexy from Amazon
Sampling the bassline from Imagination's legendary hit 'Body Talk', 'Call U Sexy' is a cool slice of r&b that features a smooth groove and an infectious chorus. Produced by erstwhile hit makers Cutfather & Joe, "Call U Sexy" perfectly mixes up the slick and sexy vocals of Marvin, Chinyere and Ryan, with the smooth raps of Blimi and Jaime.
Jamie says: "Call U Sexy is a perfect summer track with a great vibe to it. The boys in the group sing about what they find sexy in a girl, then Chinyere and I come right back at them with what we need a guy to do and say to be sexy – so it was fun to record!"
Since exploding onto the music scene this February, VS have been busy writing and recording their debut album, due out later this year. Jaime has also been working with the boys from Blue guest rapping on the Love 4 Music remixes of both Top 5 hit "Breathe Easy" and the band's next single "Bubblin'".

Women have a tendency to over analyze our relationships, how we communicate with other people, and other situations in our everyday lives. We want people to like us, so we can get caught up in going out of our way to make other people happy. Of course, this isn't just a female issue- plenty of guys get caught going down the over analyzing rabbit hole, too.
Over analyzing in a relationship can lead to frustration, communication, and giving up far too early. All too often we find ourselves asking our friends what so-and-so meant by that text message, or why someone hasn't called us back yet, or a variety of other small worries that keep us from living our lives. With all this time spent worrying about someone else, we forget how much power we really have in our own hands.
Before you start over analyzing a new relationship or your communications with another person, sit back and think about how you might be misinterpreting or over complicating a situation. Other people aren't as complicated as we give them credit for, and often what they are saying is actually what they really mean.
Here are ten ways we might be misinterpreting and over analyzing our potential or current relationship.
- Forgetfulness doesn't equal a lack of value. Guys remember different information because their brains process data differently than women's do. Even if he forgets some information about you doesn't mean he doesn't care.
- Men talk less than women, usually. Just because he is silent or quiet doesn't mean he isn't listening to you or paying attention to the things you find important. Some people require more time to rest and recharge in social situations. Don't interpret his silence as a lack of interest or affection.
- They're out of my league. Men and women might find themselves pulling back from a potential romance because they think the other person is out of their league. However, the person in question might not realize how attractive they are- after all, it's about more than just looks!
- Don't be subtle. Guys aren't the greatest at picking up on subtle hints that women might be sending them; it's always better to be straightforward and honest than it is to dance around a topic that is important to you.
- You don't owe each other anything. There is often an expectation that if a guy (or girl) pays for a date or an event, that the other person owes them sex, or love, or another favor. This is a harmful mindset and can lead to a perceived inequality in a relationship. You own each other respect and honesty.
- Suggest, don't demand. Women often get on guys for having selective hearing, but guys like to process things in their own way. They want to be able to make up their own minds without being told what to do; by changing how you ask for something, you can make it easier for them to not feel cornered by a verbal demand.
- Don't misinterpret his body language. Women like to talk face to face, while some men refer side to side conversations. This feels less confrontational to them and allows them to communicate more effectively.
- If I don't nag, it won't get done. Part of what drives women crazy about men is that we feel like we have to nag a guy to do a task, or else he'll forget about it for six months. Guys will get around to tasks eventually but try not to nag- you don't like to do it, and he doesn't like to hear it.
- Be yourself. There's this idea that guys like women who are hard to get, and to a certain degree that's true. Men like women who run their own lives; we have friends, careers, and things that interest us. We're not waiting around for a guy to call us in order to have something to do. Men like women who are available, interested, and present when they are together.
- Success scares him. Unfortunately, strong and independent women do scare some men. These aren't the guys you should be dating! Real men are interested in relationships with women who are taking control of their own life. You should have goals for your personal life and your professional life, while being open to a new relationship and love.

Bipolar Disorder Home > Depakote Overdose
As with all medications, it is possible to overdose on Depakote. Overdose symptoms with this medicine may include drowsiness, heart block, coma, or even loss of life. Treatment for a Depakote overdose will vary depending on several factors but may include giving certain drugs, "pumping the stomach," or administering supportive care.
Depakote® (divalproex sodium) is a prescription medication used to control seizures in people with epilepsy and to treat manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder. It is also used for migraine prevention. The effects of a Depakote overdose will vary depending on a number of factors, including how much of the drug was taken and whether it was taken with any other medicines, alcohol, or street drugs.
If you happen to overdose on Depakote, seek immediate medical attention.
If a person overdoses on Depakote, the symptoms can vary. Some commonly reported symptoms of an overdose with Depakote include:
- Drowsiness
- Heart block (a problem with the electrical system of the heart)
- Coma
- Loss of life.
The treatment for a Depakote overdose will vary. If the overdose was recent, a healthcare provider may give certain medicines or place a tube into the stomach to "pump the stomach." Dialysis may also be helpful. Treatment also involves supportive care, which consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose. For example, supportive treatment options may include:
- Fluids through an intravenous line (IV)
- Careful monitoring of the heart
- Other treatments based on complications that occur.
It is important that you seek medical attention immediately if you believe that you may have overdosed on Depakote.
