Alzheimer's Society's Dementia Friends programme is the biggest ever initiative to change people's perceptions of dementia. It aims to transform the way the nation thinks, acts and talks about the condition.
There has been a lot of moaning on social media lately,
Usually by the same people, again and again!
All about this very successful program.
Moaning about its title,
it's name,
"we shouldn't name the disease, "
"who's it friendly for, "
"we shouldn't say friendly, "
"what are the outcomes, "
"where are the outcomes."
All the suggestions of the different titles it could have,
moan, moan, moan…….
Nothing ever seems to be good enough for some, no matter what people do or how hard they work!
Majority of these moaners complain continually but never see their own short comings, their own problems and what they do so wrongly!
"We want more awareness! "
"People need to understand "
"The conversation needs to be had"
"Lack of knowledge promotes fear"
The Dementia friends information sessions came about and has made such an impact.
It's a great introduction to break some of the myths and misconceptions about dementia.
Majority of sessions are hosted by volunteers.
2.5 Million people now know more about dementia,
There are no numbers of the people that have then received information from the above.
It's been taken to schools for all ages.
It has opened up conversations that were much needed.
It has helped so many !
It has now been taken to about 35 countries, where it's been very well received in all.
People with and without a diagnosis, have been helped and informed, lives have been changed.
Age groups reached have been from 5-100 years old.
I do actually agree that maybe it could have had a better title, what title I'm not sure, but whatever it's called, these awareness sessions really work.
It's branded now, it's known!
Friends, friendly, community, communities!
These are the words that are most moaned about, but aren't these words exactly what it is all about.
We live in communities, we all need friends, we are social beings, we want a friendly world!
Yes, after the fact, with hind site, everyone could probably come up with a better or different phrase, a better or different word or title,
but surely! If it's working, stop your incessant moaning,
Especially if the moaners themselves won't make change,
Especially if the moaners don't actually do anything on the ground themselves.
Lots of organisations use the same approach and a similar title,
Because it works!
Friends of the Earth.
an environmental campaigning community dedicated to the wellbeing and protection of the natural world and everyone in it.
Friends of the Peak District.
is an independent charity that protects and safeguards the landscapes of the Peak District National Park against developments which threaten its beauty
Friends of the Elderly.
gives older people the opportunity to live fulfilled, respected lives through exceptional levels of care.
Friends International.
Quakers are members of a historically Christian group of religious movements formally known as the Religious Society of 'Friends' or 'Friends' Church.
Friends United Meeting.
is an association of twenty-six yearly meetings of the Religious Society of Friends in North America, Africa, and the Caribbean.
Evangelical Friends Church
is a branch of Quaker yearly meetings around the world that profess evangelical Christian beliefs.
Friends of Prostate Sufferers.
Prostate Cancer Support Group
Friends in Need.
A way for people affected by depression to meet online and in their local area to share support.
Friends Of Parkinson's.
a non-profit organization that provides a resource center, outreach awareness, and support groups for people with Parkinson's.
Breast Friends.
is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for female cancer patients. Our organization teaches friends and family specific ways to offer support.
Apparently it's ok and acceptable to be friends, make friends and have friends!
And the best bit…….
It's ok to be friendly, to use friendliness to help, to educate and inform!
Stop the moaning and just get on with something else if you don't like what you see or hear,
when it's actually working.
When It's making a difference to many lives, and spreading globally!
Does the title really matter ?

Dear big, black, hairy spider that appeared in the stairwell late last night, my "live and let live" policy only exists outside the reach of my broom tip. Let it be known that you were the first to breach the broom tip. You brought it on yourself. I feel entirely vindicated that you are now a James Bond movie title. I do not feel the least bit sad that your superhero aspirations as a web slinger are out the window. Spiderman's got game. All you got was broom. I'll bet your spidey senses weren't tingling that time. Nor do I feel sad that your computer career is over. You'll never be a web designer again, and I'm okay with that. In other words, big, black, hairy, last night stairwell crawler, your webinar has been cancelled. You are now a webinaren't.

The people of ancient Peru had a deep
appreciation for the animals who shared their
world. The fate of mankind frequently depended
on the benevolent will of the beasts, who
embodied the gods and spirits of nature. As in
many cultures through the ages, the habits and
characters of animals were identified with those
of humans. Warriors especially sought to link
themselves with fierce, swift, and strong
creatures. This fascinating tubular object, one of
a pair, depicts a shark with open jaws. It may
have served as a kind of trumpet, used to amplify
the voice on the battelfield. Its mystery adds to
its appeal. Its exact function has been lost in the
mists of time, but its power over the imagination
is undeniable. L. 20.2cm(8IN)

Here are a variety of storage suggestions we think you'll find helpful.
Use a high quality disc (round) padlock to secure your storage unit. This type of lock is difficult to cut or break and offers maximum protection for very little money.

It consists of two phases they are the reliability of managerial decisions depends upon the quality of data. The quality of data can be expressed in terms of its representative feature of the reality which can be ensured by the usage of fitting data collection method.
This data can be classified into primary data and secondary data.The data which is collected from the field under the control and supervision of an investigator is known as primary data. It is made by the self-made and self-managed questionnaire. The simple random sampling was used. And sample size is 50. And my samples are customers of spacers of Rajahmundry.The data which is collected from journals, magazines, annual reports of companies, etc ., then such data is called secondary data.
Food diversity in India is an implicit characteristic of India's diversified culture consisting of different regions and states within. Traditionally, Indians like to have home-cooked meals – a concept supported religiously as well as individually. However, with times due to increasing awareness and influence of western culture, there is a slight shift in food consumption patterns among urban Indian families. It started with eating outside and moved on to accepting a wide variety of delicacies from world-over. Liberalization of the Indian economy in the early 1990s and the subsequent entry of new players set a significant change in lifestyles and the food tastes of Indians. Fast food is one which gained acceptance of Indian palate after the multinational fast food players adapted the basic Indian food requirements viz. vegetarian meals and selected non-vegetarian options excluding beef and pork totally from their menu. Multinational fast food outlets initially faced protests and non-acceptance from Indian consumers. This was due to primary perception that these fast food players serve only chicken and do not serve vegetarian meals perceived expensive besides being out-of-way meals in Indian culture. Today, fast food industry is getting adapted to Indian food requirements and is growing in India. It is gaining acceptance primarily from Indian youth and younger generations and is becoming part of life. Keeping in view the Indian habits and changing preferences towards food consumption, this study has its focus to understand the factors affecting the perception of Indian youth, in the age group of 20-30 years, towards consumption of fast food as well as towards making choice of fast food outlets. Fast food is a very fast growing industry in world as well as in India especially in urban areas (small and large cities). However, not much research literature is available on fast food preferences of consumers' especially young consumers in India.

"This book may well be the most comprehensive collection of gnostic materials ever gathered in one volume. What is clear from the sourcebook is the tremendous diversity of thought that exists under the 'gnostic' umbrella including Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Pagan, Zoroastrian, and Greco-Roman themes. A valuable resource for students and scholars."—Publishers Weekly
"The selection of texts ranges across two millennia and various cultures. Each work, some translated into English for the first time, is accompanied by a clear introduction and synopsis. This is an important sampler of relatively unknown spiritual literature."—Library Journal
"To read The Gnostic Bible is to witness something astonishing. . . . I read it with dizzy excitement."—Ian Cant, Ascent Magazine
"A Godsend for anyone interested in alternative Christianity, the history of Christianity, or spirituality in general."—Turk's Head Review
"An enormously rich collection of sources—a wonderful achievement!"—Elaine Pagels, author of The Gnostic Gospels and Beyond Belief
"Willis Barnstone and Marvin Meyer's Gnostic Bible joins Bentley Layton's Gnostic Scriptures as one of the true critical sourcebooks for gnostic texts. Here, from China to Catalonia, from the first to the fourteenth centuries, gnosticism is seen as a global meditation."—Harold Bloom, author of Genius: A Mosaic, Hamlet: Poem Unlimited, and The Western Canon
"I feel as if I had been waiting for this book all my life."—Carolyn Kizer, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet
"Everyone interested in the tumultuous origins of Christianity and in a mysticism of direct, unmediated communion with God should fall on this brilliant and ground-breaking book. In it, for the first time, are assembled all the major texts of gnosticism, with illuminating notes and introductions, and in translations that radiate clarity."—Andrew Harvey, author of Sun at Midnight, Son of Man, and The Direct Path
"These ancient texts have not lost any of their power to awaken higher consciousness. Seekers of knowledge owe an enormous debt to Barnstone and Meyer for presenting these works to us in a fresh, clear, and accessible form."—Richard Smoley, author of Inner Christianity: A Guide to the Esoteric Tradition
"In this wonderfully readable anthology the authors have brought together a large number of interesting selections from a wide chronological, geographical, and cultural range of traditions that nevertheless illustrate fascinating overlapping patterns in religious symbolism and worldviews."—Michael Williams, author of Rethinking Gnosticism
"These two wise men have written an amazing book—the best of its kind, ever. They bear lit matches in our dark tunnel—sometimes they are the matches themselves."—Gerald Stern, author of American Sonnets and What I Can't Bear Losing

Vel Jon, dette var fantastiske bilder. Også fra Inderøy, der jeg har tante, onkel og søskenbarn. Så gøy! Vakkert er det der, og disse bildene viser jo akkurat det. Favoritten må bli bilde nr 3 hvor skyene er helt knall.
Ellers ble jeg litt nysgjerrig når du sier at du er gift med ei som er ivrig interiørblogger. Jeg blogger også litt om det nemlig, og frekventerer litt som leser på NIB. Hmmm.... tar gjerne imot bloggadressen altså.
Elles kan jeg avsløre at jeg er samboer med en ivrig fotograf jeg også - og som i tillegg driver innenfor telekommunikasjon - akkurat som deg. Og blogger en del om det. Tror nok du har besøkt siden hans også ;-)
Vi høres!
Gorgeous photos, thank you for sharing your beautiful view of the sky and your kind comments on my blog earlier.
I enjoyed these photographs slowly... and each one more than the one before.
These pics are so dreamy! A delightful series!
Beautiful skies! beautiful beach!!
Great skywatch captures!
Happy skywatching!

God helg til deg!
Beautiful Inderøy, beautiful sky. beautiful shots.

Kjære John! hva skal jeg si da?...som bor her...hihihihi.
Helt fantastiske bilder fra min yndlingsplass i verden.
Hils Lene så masse å si at jeg tenker på henne.
Klemmer til dere begge to.
A fine series of this beautifully tranquil scene. Isn't it wonderful how the water and the clouds give us endless variation in a view! Fine shooting.
det nest siste må da være kulisser for flere av Munch´s malerier
Great Photo - Please stop by and check out my blog. Iowa Nature Photos will now be a photo blog with no caption or commentary. I do not have the time to dedicate to my blog that I have in the past but would still like to post photos. I hope that you will continue to support my blog in the future.
Big sky country, beautifully captured!
If you don't stop showing these beautiful photos, I'll have to move to live there ;) to enjoy them daily myself.
Actually, tonight there was a pretty amazing sunset here too, and since I can almost see the sea from where we live, this is not that bad an area to live in, but still, I couldn't possibly take such beautiful photos as you do. Thanks!
The ripples look lovely in that light.
Nina at Nature Remains
Thank you for visiting me and for the comments on my daughters photos. Your photos of Norway are wonderful. It looks like a place I would LOVE to visit someday. Everything looks so peaceful.

Sean Hannity once again continued what appears to be a purposeful attempt to avoid the naming of Ron Paul. Hannity took a large portion of his first hour to discuss the Ames Straw Poll. He praised Romney by asserting that we should honor the successful men of our country. He proceeded to name the Republicans starting with winner Mitt Romney; he then mentioned second place Mike Huckabee, third place Sam Brownback, fourth place Tom Tancredo, and before mentioning the fifth, (Ron Paul) he skipped to mention that Tommy Thompson (sixth place) dropped out of the race. I may be overly skeptical here, but there is reason to believe that Hannity has continually avoided the mention of Ron Paul on his radio program since the day second Republican debate, where he and Paul had a heated discussion in the post-debate interview. Fortunately, the Wall Street Journal observed Ron Paul's campaign success:
Fourth place and fifth place went, respectively, to Reps. Tom Tancredo of Colorado and Ron Paul of Texas — impressive showings for two men with narrowly defined candidacies.
Mr. Paul, meanwhile, has built a fanatical following that has embraced his libertarian message and antiwar, anti-interventionist views; supporters came at their own expense from as far as Washington state to help out, though only Iowans could vote.

FuzzyBrew had a blast at the 2011 Cooper-Young Regional Beerfest in Memphis
Saturday's second-annual Cooper-Young Regional Beerfest drew a sold-out crowd of 600 to a small parking lot in Midtown that was transformed into an oasis of craft beer and homebrew. The selection of regional beer, combined with a picture-perfect 78-degree day, combined for Memphis' best beer festival in the past year. We're already looking forward to next year.
Boscos Squared's new brewer, Adam, who just moved to town from Nashville, pours a sample. To his left is Boscos founding partner Chuck Skypeck.
Memphis' Ghost River Brewing, which started bottling its Golden Ale this week, had its new bottlecaps on display.
Louisiana-based Bayou Teche Brewing was a new addition to the festival. The Grenade and Boucanèe were particularly good.
Atlanta's Red Brick Brewing, which is now distributing in Memphis, was also a new addition to the festival.
Red Brick's Laughing Skull Amber Ale was among the beers served.
Justin mans the Yazoo Brewing Company table. As usual, the Nashville brewery's Hop Project was excellent.
Yazoo Brewmaster Ivan Chester discusses keg beer versus cask beer at the "Beer Tent Revival," the festival's beer education tent.
Justin poured samples of Yazoo pale from a keg, then a cask, so festival-goers could compare the two in terms of taste and carbonation.
A deejay from Cooper Young's Goner Records spun tunes.
Mike Lee, owner of Midsouth Malts, sold homebrew kits and supplies and poured samples of homebrew, as well.
Memphis' homebrew club, the Bluff City Brewers & Connoisseurs, had 11 homebrewers at the festival, including the three of us who blog here at FuzzyBrew. The homebrew table always had a line, and the beer went fast.
The free FuzzyBrew bottlecap magnets were a hit.
The "B" shift of the Bluff City Brewers had these beers. Peter's Purple Rain and Grant's Apricot Pale Ale were the first kegs to float.
The FuzzyBrew crew — Grant, Mike and Jeff — in action. All of our kegs floated in under 90 minutes.

Menu Plan Monday
I didn't realize it, but my last Menu Plan Monday logo had a watermark on it. That's why the change to the new one. Plus, it's better.
Here's this week's menu. It's Pilgrim and Native American week at the homeschool so we're eating popcorn, cornbread, pumpkin muffins, etc… for our snacks.
Menu Plan Monday
As the first day of Fall has so quickly come (boo-hoo!), there will be more and more warm, oven-cooked meals, which I do love. But until it's snowing, I will still make pastas and use the BBQ!

Alright, I am attempting– once again– to post weekly menus. This is mostly for myself to actually have a plan for weekly meals, but I'll go ahead and share, too. They will almost always include a new recipe… so look for new recipes to be posted soon!
Meal Plan Monday
Husband is doing a 2-3 day cleanse this weekend so some of last weeks meals got pushed to this week so as not to torture him with too many things he loves but can't have!

United Auto Workers Union President Ron Gettelfinger sees more new jobs in the U.S. auto industry as the nation begins its slow economic recovery and praises the current Chief Executives of the Domestic car and truck manufacturers.
Speaking to the Birmingham Senior Mens Club the outgoing head of the UAW said the Big Three are focused on product and committed to growing manufacturing in America. His comments were surprisingly upbeat and positive about industry management – a sharp contrast with the many past rebukes delivered by the union.
Regarding the domestic manufacturers, Gettelfinger called the Ford Motor Company team assembled by Chairman Bill Ford and President and CEO Allen Mullaly "second to none."
Gettelfinger said General Motors CEO Ed Whittaker is progressive and committed to growth in the US. He cited the decision to build the Chevrolet Volt, an extended-range eletric vehicle, and the establishment of a factory to build batteries in Michigan as a major plus for the state and the nation.
Gettlfinger, in turn, called Chrysler CEO Marchione very knowledgeable and focused on improving products. The UAW head cautioned his audience not to believe the current street talk that "Chrysler will disappear". He insisted that, "The Big Three are strong companies."
Gettelfinger may have reason to be upbeat considering that each of the Detroit Three has announced plans to add new jobs. Just last week, Chrysler CEO Marchionne revealed plans to add a second shift – a move that will create more than 1,000 new blue-collar slots – at the Jefferson Avenue Assembly Plant, in Detroit, producing the new, 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Revealing that he just finished meeting with members of Congress on international trade, Gettelfinger said the US needs to negotiate agreements with Asian nations, like China, to deal with their currency manipulations, a problem that has made it difficult to compete in those markets with products made in America.
Calling for "fair" trade, rather tha free trade, the UAW head noted that some of the Asian nations have to be convinced to open their own markets to imported products. He cited the sale of 750,000 Korean vehicles in the US in 2009, while no foreign manufacturer sold more than 10,000 vehicles in Korea that same year.
The current push to "go green" in the auto industry will continue to gain momentum, said Gettelfinger. He added that this will help generate jobs in this country and that will help fuel the American economic recovery.
Noting that the UAW agreed to two-tier wages, he added, employers should not try to keep wages low. The UAW president, who retires at the end of this month, stressed, "The people in the new work force still have to make enough to be able to have a decent standard of living."
While answering questions from the audience, Gettelfinger said incoming UAW President Bob King has years of experience in dealing with manufacturers and labor issues and has the ability to expand labor's outreach.
Gettelfinger closed by saying, "I hope he (King) will be the best UAW president ever."

Trumpet/Mermaid Off-the-Shoulder Floor-Length Taffeta Holiday Dress With Ruffle #25961

Two beautiful gowns from JJ's for New Year's Eve 2015 with the Boston Pops!
2015-12-06 09:20:22
I ordered this dress for a law firm Christmas party. The dress arrived in less time than expected and was lovely. The dark green taffeta is a vibrant emerald that was perfect for the party and my Irish complexion. The tailoring was lovely and with the custom measurements the dress fit like a glove. Thank you for creating such a lovely gown for me.
The only two things I would offer as advice for future purchasers are this -
1. It is hard to tell in the photos, but there is not a modesty panel under the laces. Which means even with the dress perfectly laced, there is still a chance for skin to show thru. As I wanted the dress to be more on the conservative side, I ordered an additional piece of fabric and had my tailor make me amodesty panel for the gown.
2. With the custom measurements they add on two inches in length to accommodate heels. Only problem was that my heels start at 3 inches, so I felt I would have liked the dress to be one inch longer. Just something to note and something I will keep in mind for my future purchases.

The dress was beautiful and made me feel beautiful as well.
It was shipped in the timeframe indicated...
Very satisfied with my purchase and getting ready for the next... Thank you JJ's House

Addition to my previous review.
Dear JJhouse. Please place the information for customers to check import duty taxes for their countries. The information have to be on every page with the dress. Now it is only among FAQs which is obviously and unfortunately not enough.
2014-03-25 15:10:39
First of all, thank you very much for a great dress and extremely fast delivery service. The quality of the tailoring for the dress is just fine. I was amazed. People, who reads the feedbacks, can be sure that they will have a high quality product. I was happy with the dresses.
The only thing that was extremely unplesant is the customs import duty tax. I will join to the people asking to put it in big letters so your customers keep it in mind and carefully check. The dresses are perfect, people will buy even with high taxes. Just it is always better to be ready. When I got the bill for two dresses for taxes over 110 euro I was shocked. I know it is my fault and I had to check it before purchasing, but the lack of the experience (it was my first purchase) and I am in s uch an unpleasant trouble. Now I have a pellet that I can not even see these dresses and they are not bringing me a joy at all.
I would deeply ask you to lead peole like me and prevent them from misunderstanding for the price. Please, place this information on the FAQs and reads "Note #3" there.

First, the dress fit perfectly! It was exactly what I wanted for my formal sit-down dinner for 70 in my home to kick off the holidays.
Room for improvement - It never states on the website that they are actually shipping from outside the country and you will get a bill (nominal) separately for customs fees!
The description of this actual dress isn't clear on the fact that from the waist up, the back is actually a lace up. It's OK, but it was a surprise - I had to get help to dress!
The lining of the dress was not the correct color. (bright red lining for a burgundy dress). This sounds small, but when any part of it showed across the neckline there was an annoying contrast.
But even with all this, I have already recommended the site to my friends and I will buy again!

I have to say, this was my first ever purchase. Of course I had my doughts. I am so amazed the service I got to begin with with my questions and my directions. When I received my dress, it was just PERFECT..... I look a million dollars.
I really recommend JJ's house to others......
Very Sincerely thank you. I will be buying all my gowns from here....

Ordered this dress for my daughter with custom measurements. Arrived ahead of schedule, neatly packaged. The dress is beautifully sewn with incredibly quality fabric and fits perfectly. Sending in custom measurements saved us a small fortune on have alterations done. I'll absolutely be returning here for future dresses and will tell all my friends!

"In mythology, La Fenice - the Phoenix - is a fabulous bird, which was celebrated for consuming itself in flame then rising from its ashes. La Fenice is used here as a symbol of the influence of Italian music in Baroque Europe. It was also the title of a work by Giovanni Martino Cesare, an Italian composer and cornett player who moved north of the Alps in the early 17th century. Today this name has been adopted by a group of musicians, whose common desire is to share their passion for the sumptuous Venetian music of that time and bring out all its extraordinary vitality.
The ensemble's repertoire nevertheless includes works by composers from all over Europe and covers more than two centuries of music; indeed, the cornett was commonly used in the early 16th century by Josquin Desprez and his contemporaries and it was still in use at J.S. Bach's time and Bach himself included it in several of his cantatas.
The cornett can be found alongside the voice in sacred music throughout the Baroque period; it is mentioned in the registers of the Royal Chapel at Versailles until 1733. As for the sound it produces, Mersenne, tells us in his Harmonie universelle (Paris, 1636) that « it is like a sunbeam shining through the shadows or through the darkness when it is heard among the voices in churches, cathedrals or chapels... "
Anxious to respect the original instrumentation, particularly in vocal music, where the instruments shed light on the text through their symbolical import, the ensemble adapts to fit in with each programmes it performs. Coming from all over Europe, the Ensemble's musicians are all internationally renowned soloists, playing with the best Early music ensembles in the world.
Just after its establishment, the Ensemble La Fenice has won the first prize in two international competitions (Bruges, 1990 and Malmö, 1992). Since then, it has played in the most important festivals in France, Europe and all over the world. La Fenice's recordings - Opus 111, Virgin Classics, Ricercar - are regularly awarded the most prestigious distinctions (Choc Monde de la Musique, Diapason d'Or, 10/10. Répertoire, 5 Etoiles. Goldberg…)."

"Founded by Benjamin Perrot and Florence Bolton, La Rêveuse is an ensemble of solo musicians which aims to bring back to life selected works of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, that effervescent age so rich in artistic experiments and inventions of all kinds. By favouring an approach founded on eloquence, mastery of colour and a rich continuo sound the musicians of La Rêveuse wish to convey to audiences the rhetorical, spiritual and poetic substance of these repertories.
La Rêveuse has attracted favourable attention with its concerts in France (notably at Les Concerts Parisiens, La Folle Journée de Nantes, Fontevraud Abbey, Pontoise, the Radio-France Montpellier Festival, and Lanvellec), and also appears abroad, at such events as the Cambridge Summer Festival, the Organizatie Oude Muziek season in the Netherlands, La Folle Journée in Japan, the French Cultural Centre in Cairo, and in Switzerland, the USA,

"Obsidienne, a vocal and instrumental ensemble conducted by Emmanuel Bonnardot, wishes to keep the medieval and renaissance repertoire alive in a simple, natural way, thus reconciling the art of performing and that of improvising music.
In a happy relation to poetry, theater and dance, often approaching contemporary, traditional or song repertoires, the ensemble keeps researching into forgotten or neglected works, and endeavouring to reconstruct the medieval instrumentarium, inspired in its work by the paintings of the Middle Ages' greatest masters.
Obsidienne sometimes splits into smaller groups, allowing more specialized, more intimate and more personal work. At its full strength, with up to 16 musicians, the ensemble offers a powerful sound, in which soloists and choir alternate, a must in interpreting the great medieval repertoire. Obsidienne owe their longevity to their versatility and to the variety of their performances, which enabled them to reach exceptional musical quality. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

"Michel Laplénie founded Sagittarius in 1986, with a view to exploring new repertoire and sharing his musical enthusiasms. High artistic standards have brought the ensemble international renown and made it one of the foremost vocal groups in Baroque performance.
With their unquenchable curiosity, Sagittarius have taken part in several high profile opera productions (Handel's Alcina, Théâtre des Champs Elysées, Paris, 1990 - Lully's Phaëton, for the reopening of the Lyons opera house, 1993 - Campra's L'Europe Galante, Aix-en-Provence Festival, 1993 - Rameau's Hippolyte et Aricie, directed by Marc Minkowski, 1995, etc.).

The focus is on European vocal music of the Baroque era, more specifically from 17th and 18th-century France and Germany, with a particular fondness for Heinrich Schütz, whose Latinized name Sagittarius it adopted. This wide repetoire has led to a large number of recordings, which have won acclaim for the sincerity and depth of their performances.
Sagittarius has been appointed Resident Ensemble at Blaye, near Bordeaux, and is supported by the Regional Department for Cultural Affairs, the Aquitaine Region, the Département of Gironde, the cities of Blaye and Bordeaux, as well as the Caisse des Dépôts for its school programmes."

The name he chose combines the word "simphonie", which at the time was used to denote an instrumental ensemble, and the Marais, one of the most beautiful areas of Paris, typical of the Baroque period.
Hugo Reyne and La Simphonie du Marais perform a repertoire that ranges from the early baroque period to the classical period, with special emphasis on French music from Lully to Rameau. This ensemble brings together the most eminent musicians of the young baroque generation, giving Hugo Reyne the opportunity to bring his musicology research to life and to illustrate the innovative aspect of his interpretation.
The ensemble explore avenues of chamber music with flute or oboe, orchestral symphonies with between 15 and 30 musicians, open-air music with oboe band, side drums, trumpets and timpani and the birth of French opera. .."

When Lincoln began his remarks at Peoria, he cloaked himself in the garb of a Henry Clay-style slavery moderate, personally opposed to the institution but aspiring to avoid the wrath of, and maybe even befriend, his political foes. Lincoln had as much in him, counting among his friends Kentucky slaveholder Joshua Speed. He laid out that pledge very early on:
I do not propose to question the patriotism or to assail the motives of any man, or class of men; but rather to strictly confine myself to the naked merits of the case.
Now that Lincoln finished up his history of restrictions upon slavery, including those Stephen Douglas had eagerly supported, the one-time member of the House came to the question of Douglas' motives. What did he think, after so much energy spent praising the Missouri Compromise, as late as a year prior, if he went on to destroy it all? What really went on in the Little Giant's mind? Douglas always said that he didn't care one way or another about slavery, personally.
This declared indifference, but as I must think, covert real zeal for the spread of slavery, I can not but hate. I hate it because of the monstrous injustice of slavery itself. I hate it because it deprives our republican example of its just influence in the world—enables the enemies of free institutions, with plausibility, to taunt us as hypocrites—causes the real friends of freedom to doubt our sincerity, and especially because it forces so many really good men amongst ourselves into an open war with the very fundamental principles of civil liberty—criticising the Declaration of Independence, and insisting that there is no right principle of action but self-interest.
So much for not questioning patriotism or assailing motives. Lincoln might not have known just how thoroughly F Street had Douglas over a barrel, or how Phillip Phillips and Archibald Dixon outmaneuvered them, but he did have one salient fact before him: Douglas authored the repeal, endorsed it, and saw it made into law. Even if other men wrote the exact language, it came in Douglas' bill with Douglas' assent and considerable support. Why would any man who swore that the Missouri Compromise would always stand, who called those seeking to repeal it ruthless and reckless, suddenly turn on a dime and destroy it himself?
Douglas must not have believed in it after all. Instead, all of the previous declarations amounted to empty political piety. People praised the Missouri Compromise, so Douglas praised it. One expected as much. But in his heart, he wanted it gone. If in removing it he undermined the United States' position as the republican light of the world, Douglas hardly cared. Lincoln might not call the Little Giant the Accomplished Architect of Ruin, but he did call his opponent a proslavery wolf in sheep's clothing and deeply, fundamentally un-American.
Lincoln had a point on the latter issue. All the way back during the revolution, Samuel Johnson criticized the revolutionaries on just those grounds:
how is it that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers of negroes?

'Glee' Recap: Call Sheets and Name Calling
It's baa-ack! After getting our hearts smashed into millions of itty-bitty pieces in "The Break Up" and enduring 35 days of boring music-free programming, Glee is back! Unfortunately this episode did not show the New York storyline whatsoever, but chin up Glee-bees! There are some familiar faces strutting down the halls of McKinley, and Wemma fans get some much-needed loving from their favorite star-crossed teachers.
So Here's What You Missed on Glee:
Finding his Place: While Finn is working hard in the body shop— complete with cute grease-stained jumper—Artie rolls on in to give his much-taller friend a much-needed pep talk. Finn is once again feeling lost, but also a tad bit melodramatic when he says he's hoping to get crushed by one of the cars he's working on. (Side-Note: Please smile, Finn. You're a thousand times more attractive when you don't pout.) Artie asks Finn to help him co-direct the new McKinley musical Grease, and after listening to Artie threaten to blow up Olivia Newton John (Gasp!) he reluctantly agrees. Finn is seriously doubting his directorial skills, so Artie reveals a special surprise. Just then the original New Direction reinforcements arrive and Mercedes and Mike walk down the hall (in slow motion of course!) and gleeks everywhere let out a slight squeal of delight upon seeing these familiar faces.
Relationship Woes: Over in the halls of McKinley, Blaine explains to his vice-president Sam that he is a complete and total wreck. "Since Kurt and I broke up I haven't slept, I've lost my appetite and I don't even gel on weekends." Klaine fans then got a glimpse of what the future was supposed to hold for our beloved couple: "Kurt was my soul mate. We talked about spending the rest of our lives together. About retiring in Provincetown and buying a lighthouse together and start an artisan colony." Unfortunately all those dreams are shattered right now because Kurt wont even answer his calls or texts, and he sent back Blaine's peace offering gift: a boxed set of Gilmore Girls. (Side-Note: I'm obsessed with Gilmore Girls, so this only reaffirms the fact that Blaine and I are destined to be best friends and we need to go shoe-shopping together immediately)
Blaine then breaks into a lovely rendition of "Hopelessly Devoted To You" whie reminiscing on all the good times he shared with his now ex-boyfriend and walking in slow-motion through a football practice. (Side-Note: Ugh, having to type "ex" when describing Kurt makes me feel nauseous.) Blaine ends his song on the auditorium stage and right on the spot Artie offers him the role of Danny Zuko. But Blaine tearfully declines and scampers off the stage like his heart has been broken all over again. (Side-Note: Noo! Come back! I'll give you a hug!)
Will and Emma are having some differences of opinions regarding the move to Washington while sitting in an impromptu therepy sesh with Coach Beiste. (Side-Note: Yay that Beiste is back! Yuck that Wemma is fighting!) Will pleads, "This is not just a once in a lifetime experience for me but for both of us." Emma makes a fantastic case stating the she refuses to "play the part of the dutiful 1950's housewife" and drop all of her dreams and pack up her life to follow Will's quest for his dreams. Will quickly concedes once his sees how upset his fiancé is and then tells her the sweetest thing ever: "Emma I love you with every fiber of my being and no matter where we go or what we do, I want us to always be together." Emma agrees to leave with Will, but coach Beiste can see the faint glimmer of doubt in Emma's eyes. (Side-Note: It's about damn time that Wemma graced our TV screens! I've desperately missed this adorable duo.) Beist confronts Emma in her office about lying to Will. She clearly does not want to go to Washington, but Emma says that she really wants to support her fiancé. "I can't get in the way of his dreams, that's what Terri did." (Side-Note: I wonder if Terri ever became manager of Sheet-N-Things?)
Where in Lima is Tina? Luckily Mercedes has the answer! The forever dive says that Tina refuses to audition for the musical because she can't stand to be in the same room as Mike. Burn. Mike later finds his former high school sweetheart in the halls and demand to know why she has been avoiding him. She snaps, "I was fine with our break up, out of sight, out of mind. But maybe you could've called and asked if I could handle you choreographing the school musical." Mike practically begs her to audition for Gease, but Tina flat-out refuses. (Side-Note: Something tells me that Rachel would be proud of Tina's dramatics, but she should never let an awkward situation stop her from stealing the spotlight.
The Newest Newbie: Although there are plenty of hopefuls for the role of Sandy, finding someone to slip into Danny's leather jacket is proving to be a tricky task. So Finn decides to stalk the students of McKinley high and Coach Beist introduces us to our newest newbie. "Ryder Lynn, sophomore. I think he flunked out of his old so they transferred him here. Sweet enough kid but he's a loner and can't learn a play for his life and if you ask me I'd say he's got a last streak." Finn sends and extra gullible teacher to leave the classroom and he then takes the opportunity to introduce himself to Ryder.
Finn encourages Ryder to follow in his footsteps and audition for the glee club promising that it will somehow open up his brain and let him get better grades. (Side-Note: I love Finn, but I so desperately wanted someone to stand up in that classroom and yell, "He doesn't even go here!") Ryder arrives at Grease auditions and he and Finn share a rocking duet—complete with air guitar—to "Jukebox Hero." (Side-Note: Welcome to Glee Ryder! I think you'll fit in quite nicely, but mostly because you're like a baby Finn.)
Over in the hallway we see Marley and Ryder having the cutest conversation. She compliments his end-zone dance moves, he compliments her mom's generosity and for a brief moment I was just as giggly as Marley watching the two newbies interact. (Side-Note: Don't tell Jake I just said that.) Oh crap I think he heard me! Jake is brooding down the hall as he seethes with jealousy watches Marley and Ryder talk. Cue Kitty to enter the scene and make matters bajillion times worse: Kitty goes off on one of her attack-Marley rants and Ryder promptly calls her a bitch. (Side-Note: Santana's monologues were hands-down better, but I can still appreciate a longwinded verbal slap in the face when I see one.)
NEXT: The Auditions!
The Auditions: Over in the ladie's room, Unique tells Marley that she so desperately wants to play the party Rizzo in the musical, but just as Marley was in the middle of her pep-talk, Coach Sue arrives tries to squash their spirits. No worries, Marley and Unique with a audition a kickass rendition of Pink's "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)"
Jake and Kitty decide to team up for their Grease audition and give a brilliant performance of Neon Tree's "Everybody Talks." (Side-Note: Hands down this was my favorite performance of the night and it's not just because the former cheerleader in me was beyond impressed with Jakes beautiful layout step-out.) But of course in true Glee fashion, Marley was watching the entire performance off stage and she is crushed to see that Jake is so handsy with his ex-girlfriend.
As their call-back song the group performs "Hand Jive" and it was fantastic to hear Mercedes' diva-licious voice again. The performance was filled with lots of pushes and shoves from Kitty and she tried to dig her claws into the part of Sandy, but it's clear that the "Summer Loving" chemistry is between Marley and Ryder. (Side-Note: This is the part where I reaffirm that I ship Jarley so y'all don't need to freak out.)
Finding his Voice: Finn decides he wants cast Unique in the part of Rizzo but almost like magic, Sue enter the choir room an demands that Principal Figgins wants to see him in his office. (Side-Note: But he's not a student!) Sue explains, "We've become somewhat of a progressive bubble here at McKinley High and I think that's due to the fact that the glee club is being run by a strange weepy man child who has lotion in his hair but no adult friends. We live in Ohio and if you choose to cast Rizzo with a naïve gender-confused boy boy in a dress, I guarantee someone is going to raise a very public stink about it." And by "someone" she means Sue.
Finn finally finds his confidence and stands up to the cheerios coach and… holy freakin crap. (Side-Note: I'm typing all this as I'm watching and just now hearing Finn refer to Sue's newborn daughter as "a retarted baby," has made my stomach tie up in knots. This is so not the Finn we know, and I'm honestly baffled as to why this just happened) It's clear that Finn has just unleashed hell-hath-no-fury Sue and New Directions need to buckle down for the wave of terror that is surely headed their way. (Side-Note: Okay honesty time: Although we are all shocked that the writer's would have Finn blurt that out, we can't quite call it out of character. Remember when he called Kurt the three lettered "f" word in way back when? It's just unfortunate that the writers would exploit Finn's blunt tendencies like this. He's a good one!)
Over in the library, Finn offers Unique the part of Rizzo and says that if anyone has a problem with his casting choices, he'll handle it. The look on Unique's face when she gets the part makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. She the gives us some insight into the challenges she faces everyday stating. "I don't feel right when I go into the men's locker room, but I can't go into the girls. I don't feel right in men's clothing, but I can't wear dresses everyday. It sucks to never know your place. It's just nice for once to feel like I've finally found one." (Side-Note: Squee!)
The Final Five: Emma is cooking up a storm their kitchen and it only takes about 2.5 seconds for Will to realize that she's upset. Emma admits (for the second time) that she does not want to go to Washington. "For the past three years, all I wanted was to be your wife but when I really stop to think about it I have no idea what that means to me." Emma explains that she is terrified to go with Will because she does not want to end up resenting him for dropping her dreams. They once again show up that this is what a real couple should be and after listing what being a husband/wife really means, they agree to switch off visiting on weekends. (Side-Note: Who else screamed out loud when the Wemma wedding was mentioned?) Over in the choir room Will tells his former student that he is leaving the glee club for a few months and he wants Finn to take over for him. Just as Finn was done pondering and about to say "yes" or "no" the episode ends. Not to worry glee-bees we all know he's going to say yes…

Strong ties help UNC, Malawi fight disease
UNC researchers began working in Malawi more than 20 years ago. Since then, the relationship has deepened as faculty and students help tackle challenges such as HIV, malaria and a lack of basic health infrastructure. This week, Chancellor Holden Thorp is visiting UNC Project–Malawi to see Carolina's involvement firsthand and blogging about his trip along the way.
So far, Dr. Thorp has written two blog posts about his trip, "Building a physician-scientist pipeline," and "Malawi report: mixing medicine and music."
Carolina's presence in Malawi is significant. At least 32 faculty from eight different disciplines have ongoing projects and travel to Malawi once a year or more. Six faculty live there full time. About 25 students work in Malawi. They include short-term visits by undergraduates in service or research projects; pre-doctoral students doing research or patient care; residents and fellows on senior clinical rotations; along with other scholars and fellows there for longer stints.
UNC's National Institutes of Health Fogarty AIDS InternationalTraining and Research Grant has provided degree training for 12 Malawians while dozens of others receive short-term training. UNC activities also employ about 300 local residents, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists and others.

7 common misunderstandings about directory listing1
1. Directories are the same as link farms
This is completely untrue. A Link Farm is a website that lists a collection of all kinds of links in no particular order. Anyone can submit their site to be listed in link farms, without having to undergo a process of review. The information, of course, is miserably messy.
Web directories, on the other hand, are websites that list and classify websites by categories and sub-categories. In order to get a site listed in a web directory one would have to submit the site to the directory along with a few details, including titles, descriptions and keywords, just like our Promotions & PR Directory. Sites that are submitted to directories will have to undergo an editorial review.
Links from quality directories are valued by the search engines and could help improve search engine rankings, since the links are manually reviewed and categorized.
2. There is no point submitting to directories that look similar to each other
Although several directories may seem similar in terms of layout structure and the categories they contain, this does not in any way mean that the directories will not be valued independently. There are many directory templates available on the web. Several directories may use a single template. However this does not mean that all these directories are the same. They may look alike and even contain similar categories, but each directory would have its own separate editorial staff that review and value the websites submitted, according to the guidelines of that particular directory.
As such, the links that a site may receive will vary from one another, each coming from a separate directory. Hence each link will be counted and valued independently by the search engines.
3. Directories are no longer important today
If you have been concerned about the rumors doing the rounds over the last several months regarding the declining importance of directories, here's a link from Google engineer Matt Cutts himself, conveying the message that as long as links are from quality directories, they will still be valued by search engines.
4. Search engines will ban my site if I get too many directory links too fast
No, this is not true. Even if you were to make hundreds of directory submissions within a short span of time, it would still take a while before you start getting your links. Links from free directories could be expected anywhere between 3-90 days after submissions.
Besides, not all directories return links to websites. Hence, the number of links you get and the pace at which you get them with would be quite normal and would not alarm the search engines. Having said that, you could also choose to play safe and submit slowly.
5. Directory submissions do not help increase website traffic
You can make use of directory submissions to build targeted links to your site. You can do so by targeting specific keywords for which you want to rank in the titles that you submit for your site. Titles that are submitted become the anchor text or the link text with which directories will link to your site.
Getting relevant links with targeted anchor text will improve the search engine rankings for the terms you have targeted. The higher you rank, the more visibility you gain as a direct result of which you could expect an increase in the volume of traffic to your site.
However, it is important to continue to build links through directories regularly. A constant flow of relevant directory links with targeted anchor text will help you achieve and maintain top rankings.
6. Directory Links are only temporary
Most directories, just like us, give out permanent links that will last as long as the directory exists.
7. There is no use in submitting a site to a low PageRank directory
PageRank is never constant. The directories that presently have a PR of 0, 1 or 2 may be new directories that have the potential to increase in PR over time.
When some of these directories gain a higher PageRank, many of them tend to become paid directories. Hence by refusing to submit your site to low PR directories for free presently, could prevent you from having a valued listing in what might well be a high PR, paid directory in future.

Amy Antoniolli concentrates her practice on environmental matters, advising clients on compliance with relevant laws and regulations and representing them in permit appeals, requests for relief from regulations and in rulemakings.
Amy's prior experience as Assistant Attorney for the Illinois Pollution Control Board and as Assistant Counsel to the Illinois House of Representatives informs her work at Schiff Hardin and regularly benefits her clients.
Having advised the Board Members of the Illinois Pollution Control Board on environmental statutory and regulatory interpretation, she is better able to advise her clients on compliance with the law in the multitude of environmental matters that come under the Board's jurisdiction and control. Because Amy served as an Illinois Pollution Control Board Hearing Officer, she is better able to ensure her clients' perspectives are heard— and favorably acted upon.
When her clients' site-specific situation clearly falls outside the rules, Amy's experience with the Illinois legislature, where she drafted legislation and advised representatives on proposed legislation, has aided her in crafting site-specific new rule proposals for her clients— rules that have been adopted and, more importantly, have allowed her clients to proceed beyond the costly standstill of regulatory non-compliance.

For the first time MOS expands its horizon past Asia to Downunder! The chosen city is Melbourne, wellknow worldwide for its strong and long history of Graffiti!
Melbourne is the capital and most populous city in the Australian state of Victoria, and the second most populous city in Australia and Oceania. The name "Melbourne" refers to the area of urban agglomeration spanning 9,900 km2 which comprises the broader metropolitan area, as well as being the common name for its city centre. Melbourne consists of 31 municipalities and has a population of 4.4 millions as of 2013. Its inhabitants are called Melburnians.
The Melbourne rail network is based on a commuter rail model rather than a rapid transit model, with a focus on services at peak periods. A rapid transit system for Melbourne is currently in planning stages.
Melbourne's suburban railway network consists of 16 electrified lines, the central City Loop subway, and 207 stations, with a total length of 372 km of electrified lines. The suburban network operates between approximately 5:00 a.m. and midnight. In 2013–14 the rail network recorded 232 million passenger trips.
The spot is located pretty much downtown and contains sufficent wallspace. For various reasons – We have decided to keep locations unpublished until the completion of the event on Sunday – having said that – you KNOW where Melbourne's iconic legal lanes are located – so come and find one of the friendly MOS reps who will be on-site and ask about more locations.
