In a Nutshell: One of the biggest challenges with online employment searches is that job seekers must sift through boards and postings hoping to find an opening that's a good fit. WorkFountain eases this dilemma with its survey-based approach to matching candidates with employers and assessing how well each meets the other's expectations and needs. A variety of industries and organizations are represented on WorkFountain, creating a substantial job pool for candidates. The platform also helps employers focus on the qualities they value most in prospective employees, ensuring the best possible matches. Postings on WorkFountain expire after 30 days, which means that job seekers and employers enjoy a fresh stream of ideal opportunities.
Job seekers frequently comb through listings on employment boards looking for potential opportunities and then send off applications with the hope of receiving at least one call back. Often, they never do. The same is true of posting résumés; there is no guarantee an employer will look at it, let alone get in touch with a candidate.
Digerati saw the need for a platform that lets users create a profile, post a résumé, answer a few questions, and then immediately see job openings that best match their professional needs and interests. The company also wanted to enable employers to post openings and see a list of job seekers who match their institutional values and goals.
Those goals led Digerati to launch WorkFountain. Using surveys and questionnaires rather than keywords, WorkFountain connects qualified candidates with potential employers. The platform goes beyond basic matching and provides users with a fit assessment that indicates how well a candidate meets a given position's requirements.
"We provide both parties information at the same time, so there's a level playing field and not just a black hole that you're throwing your résumé into," said Brian Balasia, CEO of Digerati. "You actually get feedback in real time about how the position aligns with your own interests and aspirations."
The process is as easy as signing up and completing a questionnaire about your profession. "Within seconds of answering the survey or applying for a job, you get feedback about how you stand with that job," Balasia said.
In short, WorkFountain does more than just help candidates find a job; it helps identify the job that best lines up with their skills and experience.
Apply to Jobs in Minutes Thanks to Simplified Setup and Innovative Matching
Job candidates can get started on WorkFountain in two ways. The first is to apply directly to a particular posting. Or job seekers can create a profile, after which the system will automatically show appropriate matches.
Creating a profile takes less than 10 minutes. "If you have a résumé, we can use that as a base, but you don't need a résumé to create a profile," Balasia said. Users can also specify their professional and educational experience — but that information isn't required.
WorkFountain's real advantage is in its surveys. Once users select a job category, they answer questions about their experiences and preferences. Users can broaden their employment compatibility by answering questions for multiple categories. After that, users can review their matches and apply for the positions that interest them. "Once you have a profile, it's one click to apply to any job on the platform," Balasia said.
When posting a job opening, employers answer similar survey questions to create a profile of their ideal candidate. WorkFountain matches users to positions by comparing job seekers' answers to those of employers. "Instead of just relying on traditional résumés, which can be limited in depth of information, the system has about 1,400 job titles and 100,000 question sets," Balasia said. "It uses these to dynamically survey candidates and employers to understand the candidate's skills, abilities, and interests, as well as the companies' needs and opportunities."
The system also compares user profiles to recently posted job postings, alerting them to new opportunities. For every match, the system automatically generates a fit assessment for the candidate and employer. "From a candidate perspective, it shows where the job is aligned to their own interests and abilities, and where the job might not be aligned to their own aspirations," Balasia said.
This immediate feedback is vital for candidates as they approach a potential employer. "We want to make sure that the job is a fit for the candidate and that we equip them with the information to put their best foot forward in an interview," Balasia said. "When you're going into an interview, you're able to have a balanced conversation with the employer."
Sophistication and Scope of Industries Help Candidates Find Prime Positions
More than 25,000 businesses use WorkFountain to connect with candidates, and the system has produced 1.6 million matches in a wide range of fields, according to Balasia. "We tend to have a lot of middle and high-skill jobs — skilled trades through jobs requiring advanced degrees," he said. "We've placed everybody from day laborers to CEOs."
Big brands, including Target, Mercedes-Benz, and Whirlpool turn to WorkFountain to fill openings, but the platform isn't limited to large-scale operations. "We have tens of thousands of smaller and mid-size businesses that use the platform.
"And we partner with trade organizations, chambers of commerce, and government agencies to help them support the businesses in their communities," Balasia said. Jobs based in Minnesota, Texas, Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio, in particular, are prevalent on WorkFountain, but the platform also features positions from across the US.
When a job seeker applies to a position, WorkFountain will highlight them for other openings in the company as well.
Balasia used the example of someone looking for a position as a warehouse associate; one company may have over 100 openings, but they use a dozen different titles that a user may not recognize as describing a warehouse associate.
"And so what typically happens is a candidate might apply to Job A, but they might not apply to Jobs B, C, D, and on down the line," Balasia said. WorkFountain's matching system ensures that a candidate will be presented as a fit candidate for those jobs, as well. "A candidate who might not be a good fit for an employer for Job A but might be a great fit for Job M is now considered. And that's a benefit to both the candidate and the employer," Balasia said.
Ease of Use Benefits Employers and Job Seekers
WorkFountain's goal is to provide transparency for both candidates and employers. For job seekers, the value is clear. But the transparency WorkFountain provides to employers is just as beneficial to candidates.
WorkFountain surveys help define what an employer wants from a new hire. "We use these questions to help articulate their specific needs," Balasia said. "Often, that can be pretty difficult to do when you have a blank piece of paper in front of you, trying to write a job description."
By helping employers focus on the qualities they most value in a candidate, WorkFountain minimizes potential bias and maximizes employers' candidate pools. "We help them see candidates that they might not have otherwise noticed," Balasia said. And that, of course, is beneficial to both parties.
Job postings are created in much the same way as job seekers create and post profiles. Once an employer posts a job listing, they'll see a ranked short list of well-suited candidates and receive notifications when strong candidates post new profiles.
Best of all, WorkFountain is easy to use. "The whole system is driven by simple navigation. It's something that small businesses and small business owners without HR experience can do as well as seasoned professionals in the recruiting space," Balasia said.
A Fountain of Fresh Opportunities
WorkFountain profiles and job postings remain active for 30 days. If a candidate is still seeking a job at the end of that time, they can log into WorkFountain and maintain their active status instead of creating a profile again from scratch. Otherwise, they'll be dropped from employers' matches. The same is true of job postings.
"We make sure that, if you're getting opportunities as a candidate, they're real opportunities — they're not something that's been in the system for a long time," said Balasia. "And it's the same thing on the employer side — we want the employers to get matched to candidates who are actively seeking work."
That time limit, combined with the platform's innovative survey approach, ensures WorkFountain remains a dynamic space for job seekers and employers. Altogether, WorkFountain offers the opportunity to find the perfect job without all the noise and uncertainty we've come to expect from the online job search.

Who We Are
Our Mission
The Martin Family Initiative is committed to improving elementary and secondary school education outcomes for First Nations, Métis Nation, and Inuit students in Canada, by working in full partnership with the Indigenous people of Canada, pertinent governments and the private sector.
To that end, we seek to:
- Empower educators of Indigenous students through specialized training, implementation of relevant programs, and the application of appropriate research
- Support the development of elementary and secondary school strategies for First Nations, Métis Nation, and Inuit students that are able to produce results comparable to, if not better than, those which exist in provincially and territorially funded schools
- Mitigate the social challenges and determinants of education that face First Nations, Métis Nation, and Inuit children and youth, such as those in the areas of child welfare, health and economic opportunity
- Implement targeted programs based on research for First Nations, Métis Nation, and Inuit students
- Promote a better understanding of the experiences of Indigenous people, their culture, experiences, rights, and history
- Contribute to a foundation of Indigenous-based knowledge and learning practices that can be used as a resource for teachers and students across Canada
How MFI intends to achieve our goals:
The importance of partnership with Indigenous people in Canada is at the heart of MFI's mission. We seek to build capacity through educational approaches that are grounded in Indigenous cultures and informed by research with the aim of producing optimal education outcomes for all Indigenous students in Canada.
We believe we can make the biggest difference by seeding successful pilot programs in Indigenous contexts. Our work will only succeed if it is informed by historical and current realities. We have much to learn from traditional knowledge and practices in a quest to shape new educational models; the insights of Indigenous leaders, educators, and parents are intrinsic to our work.
Once we have proven success, we focus on finding ways to bring initiatives to scale and then helping schools implement them for the long term. Our goal is that our successes be repeatable and sustainable, which is why our initiatives are subject to rigorous evaluation.
It is these values of partnership, innovation and evaluation that provide the opportunity to define the future of Indigenous education in contemporary Canadian society.

This example describes the steps to patch a miniroot image to create a modified miniroot.
In this example, you perform the unpacking and packing of the miniroot on a system that is running the current release.
This procedure shows how to install a Kernel Update (KU) patch on an Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 miniroot image on a system that is running the Oracle Solaris 10 OS. Note these details:
jmp-start1 – A network installation server that is running the Solaris 9 OS
v20z-1 – A system that is running the Oracle Solaris 10 OS, with GRUB implemented
v20z-1:/export/mr – The unpacked miniroot location
v20z-1:/export/u1 – The installation image that was created, so it could be modified
The network installation image is located at /net/jmpstart1/export/images/solaris_10_u1/Solaris_10/Tools.
Note - Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
# cd /net/server-1/export
# mkdir /export/u1 /export/mr
# cd /net/jmp-start1/export/images/solaris_10/Solaris_10/Tools
# ./setup_install_server /export/u1 Verifying target directory... Calculating the required disk space for the Solaris_10 product Calculating space required for the installation boot image Copying the CD image to disk... Copying Install Boot Image hierarchy... Copying /boot netboot hierarchy... Install Server setup complete
The installation server setup is now complete.
# /boot/solaris/bin/root_archive unpackmedia /export/u1 /export/mr
# cd /export/mr/sbin
# cp rc2 rc2.orig # cp sulogin sulogin.orig
patchadd -C /export/mr /export patch-ID
patch-ID specifies the patch ID that you want to apply.
In this example, five patches are applied to the miniroot.
# patchadd -C /export/mr /export/118344-14 # patchadd -C /export/mr /export/122035-05 # patchadd -C /export/mr /export/119043-10 # patchadd -C /export/mr /export/123840-04 # patchadd -C /export/mr /export/118855-36
# export SVCCFG_REPOSITORY=/export/mr/etc/svc/repository.db
Caution - The SVCCFG_REPOSITORY variable must point to the location of the unpacked miniroot's repository.db file. In this example, that location is the /export/mr/etc/svc directory. The repository.db file is located in the directory /etc/svc under the unpacked miniroot. Failure to export this variable results in the modification of the live repository, which prevents the live system from booting.
# svccfg -s system/manifest-import setprop start/exec = :true # svccfg -s system/filesystem/usr setprop start/exec = :true # svccfg -s system/identity:node setprop start/exec = :true # svccfg -s system/device/local setprop start/exec = :true # svccfg -s network/loopback:default setprop start/exec = :true # svccfg -s network/physical:default setprop start/exec = :true # svccfg -s milestone/multi-user setprop start/exec = :true
For more information, see the svccfg(1M) man page.
# cd /export/mr/sbin # mv rc2.orig rc2 # mv sulogin.orig sulogin
# /boot/solaris/bin/root_archive packmedia /export/u1 /export/mr
This step essentially replaces /export/u1/boot/miniroot directory, along with some other necessary files.

Although there are more than 2.3 million non-British EU citizens living, studying and working in the UK, very little accurate demographic information exists about this important segment of the population. With debates about the impact of migration dominating mainstream media and public discourse, it is often hard to separate fact from fiction.
New Europeans together with CSV are delivering Community Voices, a European Commission funded initiative that seeks to explore the impact of European migrants on communities across the UK, and to promote dialogue between community actors and EU migrants.
Community Voices comprises a programme of six seminars in six local communities designed to examine the impact of European migrants on local services and develop a report on that impact, offering a space for discussion between community actors and EU migrants in the process.
Delivered in the context of the Active Communities for Europe (A.C.E.) project, the first seminar was held in Edinburgh on Tuesday 3 February, on a cold frosty evening at the John McIntyre Conference Centre. Nearly 40 individuals from colleges, health and housing services, almost half of whom were themselves New Europeans, came together to look at the impact of European migrants on services.
The three plenary speakers, Dr Michael Rosie, Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Edinburgh, Dr Daniela Sime from the School of Social Work & Social Policy at Strathclyde University and John Busby, Project Organiser from the Welcoming Association, gave informative and thought provoking presentations.
The group then divided into three roundtables to examine more closely the experience of local people with reference to health, education and housing services.
The groups used mind maps to record all the inputs, which will be logged along with the responses from the subsequent seminars in Lincoln, Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff and London to form part of the report to be launched in June.
Registration is now open for the next Community Voices seminar in Lincoln, 17 February, 14:00-17:00. REGISTER NOW

Talk:CH391L/S12/Artemisinic Acid Engineering
From OpenWetWareJump to navigationJump to search
- Jeffrey E. Barrick 12:41, 15 April 2012 (EDT):History of the compound is very interesting and well done. It might be good to give a short background or link to how malaria works. What kind of organism is Plasmodium? How does an infection progress?
- Peter Otoupal 11:48, 16 April 2012 (EDT) Thanks! I added a brief answer to this in the beginning. Luckily, malaria is a relatively well characterized disease that seems to be receding; the new paper I referenced mentions that malaria cases in Africa have been reduced by 30% in less than 10 years.
- Jeffrey E. Barrick 12:41, 15 April 2012 (EDT):Great description of their work. There is an earlier paper published about a checkpoint in their engineering efforts where they appear to have been moving the yeast enzymes to E. coli to get it to produce artemisinin. Is this evidence that they were evaluating multiple chassis and had to switch to yeast later?[1].
- Peter Otoupal 14:21, 16 April 2012 (EDT)This article definitely indicates that the Keasling lab was searching for a way to engineer the mevalonate pathway to produce artemsinin for a quite a while. I'm not necessarily an expert at interpreting intent from scientific writing, but it seems to me that there referral to E. coli as a "platform host" for the production of terpenoids suggests that they were only using E. coli as a proof-of-concept chassis. One figure indicates that high concentrations of mevalonate is harmful to E-coli. While they were able to somewhat circumvent this problem, the "maximum yield was not attained" which they attribute to unknown bottlenecks in the pathway. They probably tried more experiments with E. coli optimization, but couldn't surpass these bottlenecks and didn't publish any data about it. They therefore couldn't achieve the high concentrations of mevaolanate that they eventually were able to achieve with S. Cerevisiae, which I guess is the main reason they had to switch. Later in the discussion they also mention that the amorphadiene synthase gene is poorly expressed in E. coli, which may be another reason they switched.
- Jeffrey E. Barrick 12:18, 15 April 2012 (EDT):Looks like you have the new reports of resistance to Artemisinin covered. Do they know what the mutations are and why they make it resistant?
- Peter Otoupal 12:07, 16 April 2012 (EDT)It sounds like the authors are not entirely sure what the exact mutations are and how they provide resistance. They countinually mention a "93-locus genotype" that increases the time it takes to kill the malaria parasite, but I honestly don't know what they are referring to. There may be some clarity in this graph which you could derive.
- Jeffrey E. Barrick 12:41, 15 April 2012 (EDT):It's usually good to avoid value judgements, like calling something "famous", in scientific or formal writing.
- Peter Otoupal 11:48, 16 April 2012 (EDT) Removed all the qualitative judgement calls.


text: MOVIES Box Office Shocker: 'Now You See Me' Crosses $100 Million Overseas 1:14 PM PDT 8/7/2013 by Pamela McClintock FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME YOUTUBE Summit's $75 million magician heist pic has earned roughly $235 million worldwide, more than big-budget tentpoles "The Lone Ranger" and "White House Down." Casting a spell on moviegoers worldwide, Louis Leterrier's caper-thriller Now You See Me has quietly raced past the $100 million mark at the international box office, pushing its worldwide total to a stellar $234.9 million through Tuesday. The Summit Entertainment movie is bound to be one of the most profitable films of summer, considering it cost $75 million to produce, with much of the budget financed through foreign presales. BOX OFFICE REPORT: 'We're the Millers' Opens to $1.7 Million Tuesday Night In the movie, Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco and Woody Harrelson play gifted magicians lured into a bank robbery. The international cast also includes Michael Caine, Mark Ruffalo, Jose Garcia and Melanie Laurent. Released over Memorial Day weekend in North America, Now You See Me's domestic total is $115.6 million. The movie continues to roll out overseas, opening in France last weekend to $6.2 million, one of the best numbers of the year for an English-language film (France is Leterrier's home country). All told, Now You See Me has earned $119.3 million overseas through Tuesday. Russia and surrounding Baltic states lead with $21.2 million, followed by the U.K. with $15.4 million and Spain with $7.3 million. Now You See Me also is doing well in Latin America, where Brazil alone has ponied up $6.5 million, and Asia. The movie has yet to open in Australia, Japan and China. The strong performance of Now You See Me -- an example of the sort of midrange pic that many Hollywood studios have abandoned in favor of more pricey tentpoles -- is all the more impressive considering it has outgrossed several big-budget summer event titles, including The Lone Ranger ($175.6 million) and White House Down ($125.1 million).

No. 7 Michigan (2-0) saw the defense come up huge in a double overtime victory over Army (1-1). After taking a 24-21 lead to begin the second overtime, the Wolverines celebrated a gritty victory over the Black Knights when they recovered a fumble on Army's last effort.
On 3rd and 11 form the Michigan 26-yard line, Army quarterback Kelvin Hopkins dropped back to pass and was sacked by Carlo Kemp and Aidan Hutchinson for a loss of 10 yards. To make matters worse, Hopkins had the ball knocked out of his hands, and Josh Uche came up with the loose ball for the victory.
Jake Moody gave Michigan a 24-21 lead to start the second overtime on a 43-yard field goal after the offense sputtered on three consecutive pass attempts by Shea Patterson. Patterson had a rough afternoon with a pair of lost fumbles and completing 19-of-29 passes for 207 yards. But the missed passes, at times, were infuriating for the Wolverines as he missed some wide open receivers for what could have been big plays. Michigan's new-look offense showed it still has some work to do to become the improved unit that had been hyped going into the season.
Michigan had a chance to take a lead on Army in the first half thanks to the defense pouncing on a fumble, but a return by Josh Metellus was ruled down on the field on the recover. Video replay confirmed Metellus was not down when he recovered the football, shortly before he returned the loose ball for what should have been a touchdown. The play was not reviewable by officials, so the play stood.
Jim Harbaugh will certainly face the music for a pair of fourth-down decisions in the second half that backfired. The first was inside the red zone, with the game tied at 14-14 in the fourth quarter. the second came later around midfield with under three minutes to play. The later led to what was nearly a last-second field goal victory for Army, but the 50-yard attempt by freshman Cole Talley (his first field goal attempt of his collegiate career) didn't quite have the leg or the angle to sail through posts.
Army came agonizingly close to scoring its first win against a top 10 opponent since 1963, when Army knocked off No. 9 Penn State. A year after losing to Kyler Murray and Oklahoma in overtime, Army knows it can give some of the best programs a good battle, but that won't make anyone at Army feel any better after a tough loss at Michigan. Army will look to some of their own miscues that haunted them in this one. Midway through the third quarter, with a 14-7 lead in their favor, Army stalled on the door step of a possible touchdown with a false start penalty on 2nd & Goal form the one-yard line and Hopkins throwing an interception two plays later on 3rd & Goal form the five by Lavert Hill. Michigan seized the opportunity off the Army turnover by marching right down the field to tie the game at 14-14 on a Zach Charbonnet run form the Army one-yard line. Patterson did have a big third down pass for an 18-yard gain when he needed nine on third down, and a 25-yard pass to Ronnie Bell on 3rd & 7 moved Michigan to the two-yard line.
Michigan will now get a week off before taking the field again. The Wolverines hit the road in two weeks for their Big Ten opener against Wisconsin. That will give Michigan some time to refine the offense after having plenty of issues pop up against Army (and last week against Middle Tennessee). Wisconsin will also get the bye week to prepare for Michigan.
Army is back in action next week in San Antonio when they face UTSA.

UNC School of Medicine named Best Medical School for Primary Care
The School ranked 1st in Primary Care and 22nd in Research overall in the 2014 U.S. News & World Report Best Medical School Rankings. Family Medicine, Rural Medicine and AIDS were also listed as top ten specialties.
Media contact: Tom Hughes, 919-966-6047, firstname.lastname@example.com
Tuesday, March 12, 2013
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The UNC School of Medicine is ranked No. 1 for the first time by U.S. News & World Report in the magazine's 2014 "America's Best Graduate Schools" issue. The School ranked 1st in Primary Care and tied for 22nd in Research overall. Family Medicine, Rural Medicine and AIDS were also listed as top ten specialties.
"Our vision is to be the nation's leading public medical school," said William Roper, MD, MPH, dean of the UNC School of Medicine and CEO of the UNC Health Care System. "Primary care is an area of tremendous importance to the health of our state and the nation. I want to thank all of our faculty, staff, students, and alumni for the work they do every day to help meet our vision of leading in patient care, education, and research."
Each year U.S. News & World Report ranks Schools of Medicine and selected health disciplines. UNC was ranked 2nd this year for Family Medicine, tied for 5th for Rural Medicine and tied for 9th for AIDS. "There is consensus across the country that delivery of and innovation in primary care is critical for the future of health care in this country," said Warren Newton, MD MPH, Vice Dean for Education and Chair of the Department of Family Medicine. "For that reason, it is important to be ranked so highly in this area."
"To be ranked first in primary care and in the top 25 for research is terrific," said Marschall Runge, MD, PhD, Executive Dean for the School of Medicine, chair of the Department of Medicine, and director of UNC's NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award. "UNC is part of a select group of schools with strong programs in both primary care and research."
These latest rankings reinforce the UNC School of Medicine's position as a national leader in both research and teaching. UNC is ranked 9th in the nation for federal research expenditures, and the UNC School of Medicine is ranked 14th nationally in NIH funding (6th among public schools).
The UNC School of Medicine has a total enrollment of 765 students and boasts more than 6,700 living alumni. In the 2012 fiscal year, the School of Medicine received more than $391 million in research funds.
"I want to thank all of our faculty, staff, students, and alumni for the work they do every day to help meet our vision of leading in patient care, education, and research." - Dr. William Roper, dean of the UNC School of Medicine

How does language precede us? How does it shape our being in the world, the emergence of a self, the connections and disconnections between us? In this introductory program, we will move between a variety of theoretical traditions and art practices (particularly in experimental writing, sound art, philosophy and psychoanalysis) to think about language as it stands in relation to sound and image, thinking and memory, power and the individual. Our reading, writing, and thinking will be experimental, as we look to playfully access our own language and the discourses and disciplines that surround it. How do these "inputs" shape our creative and intellectual "outputs"?
Over the quarter, we will closely read psychoanalytic texts and short stories as well as texts in critical, literary and sound theory, with regular seminars, small groups, lectures, and reading sessions. (Our authors will likely include Freud, Kristeva, Lacan, Žižek, Fanon, Michel Chion, Gertrude Stein, Roland Barthes, Sianne Ngai, Fred Moten, Herman Melville and Edgar Allan Poe.) Writing will be a central focus, as we alternate between poetic experimentation and playful academic essays. We will "write" with found language and sound collage, working within constraints in an attempt to disrupt language's smooth functioning.
In addition to regular short essays and writing experiments, students will develop a final collection of written work and an experimental electronic soundscape. The program will provide introductory technical instruction in graphic design, Adobe InDesign, and small press publishing, as well as parallel sound technology training (recording, editing software like Adobe Audition, and formal approaches to sound and soundscapes). At the end of the quarter, we will collectively organize a sound art audition party and reading series.
This offering will prepare you for careers and advanced study in:
language studies, philosophy and writing.

Boro + Sashiko – The Art of Mending
There are some things that I personally think should not be lost to the convenience of low-cost/high-speed consumer production. Most of the fabrics that make up my life (sheets, jeans, jackets, blankets, socks) all get pretty roughed up and, although it may take precious time out of my busy day, I would always prefer to take care of the items that have treated me well — that I love and have been a part of my personal history — by mending them and extending their lives.
I may just be more sentimental than others but I am obsessed with the idea that fabric absorbs human energy by being used; through sweat, dirt, hair, wear and tear. Last night while patching a hole in my sheets, I thought of my mending as helping to create a visual composition, subconsciously directed by my sleeping patterns. I love that I don't have to go to Ikea and buy new sheets for $30. I just find a nice piece of scrap fabric, and patch it up.
Japanese boro (futon cover), 19th century by recycling remnants of indigo dyed cotton- courtesey of Ounodesign.
Boro is the Japanese art of mending, "literally translated as rags or scraps of cloth, the term boro is also used to describe clothes and household items which have been patched-up and repaired many times." -Furujistar

Sashiko, literally translated to "little stabs", is a form of decorative reinforcement stitching, usually running stitch, for areas on clothing that get a lot of wear.

November 4th TAC will be hosting a full day workshop with Sashiko master, Marico Chigyo, creator of Chigyo, where students will study and explore the beauty of the stitch.
"Threads create new encounters and connect our hearts to others. From this new thread another work is born. Threads generate our creative and artistic life." -Chigyo.
I like to think that when I patch, stitch up and mend that I am extending, connecting and creating new histories that I will carry around with me. So don't throw it away! Learn how to stitch: generate! Don't destroy!

Crud, an URP.
Go git 'em, boys.
Well, a no-hitter anyway.
Well, the shut-ou........oh forget it!
Yay, Curtis!
As frustrating as it is to watch A.J., it's pleasurable to watch Ivan.
Run Robbie run. Nice triple. Man his swing is a beaut!
[1] No URPing tonight! (Unfortunately, the Angels are throwing another URP tomorrow night.)
I feel bad for the kid, but otherwise this is quite satisfying. I'm surprised its so quiet around here, not that I have been in many game threads this season.
So Garrett hasn't pitched above AA before. 5 runs isn't good, but he's not pitching worse than a certain pitcher with an 8 digit contract. . .
[9] Yeah, I've been fairly absent/early leave from game threads this year. Just too damn hot to run the computer (still have a 20" CRT) this summer. But I just bought an HP Touchpad and once I get a wireless router, it'll make things much easier.
What a catch. That could have been an unmitigated disaster. Yikes.
Brutal call.
What a crappy call.
Curtis is THe Man!
Curtis making up for last night's mistake!
Much better tonight, eh. Ivan in trouble in the seventh though.
Robertson available tonight?
I love relievers who throw strikes!
[17] Brett was punched out at first on a throw from the shortstop. Replays showed Brett's foot on the bag and ball about a foot from entering first baseman's glove. It was the third out and nullified the guy who would have scored from third.
Damn, Robison. You're strong!
Ha, I was just wondering why Granderson had so many more homers than Cano this year...
I like how the bats didn't go silent after building an early lead tonight.
Very nice W.

VeriSign, as we all know is one of the most popular signing authorities for secure pages. Its SSL security is relied upon by thousands of businesses and it is extremely popular with worldwide banking services.
The renowned Firewall manufacturer Comodo has made an announcement today saying that they have discovered an exploit in the VeriSign SSL certification and has informed VeriSign of this but apparently, their words fell on deaf ears. VeriSign has blatantly denied the presence of any such exploits and has replied to Comodo saying,
We thank you for bringing this to our attention, but the information you have accessed is public information that can be found in a multitude of ways. The pages you have accessed are merely pubic portals for our customers authenticated work to be performed.
A good reason as to why VeriSign responded in this weird manner might be because this is a part of VeriSign's strategy. First, they make this news seem unimportant and save the panic amongst their customers. Next, they will probably roll out a fix for this quietly. Given the top notch businesses VeriSign has as its clients, this move can either put it in jeopardy or could save it from a lot of trouble.
Another reason why VeriSign is shying away from this is because Comodo is VeriSign's competitor in the digital certificate business. Accepting the presence of this exploit will raise questions about VeriSign's position as the unchallenged certification authority.
Comodo has successfully demonstrated the exploit to Ms. Smith from Networkworld. Read more at this exclusive report.

The market need became evident through our training and consultancy arm, which regularly audits and updates customers' SMS."

CBS News identifies Ja'Mal D Green as one of the leaders of the violent protest that shut down the Donald Trump rally in Chicago on Friday.
Many of the protesters responsible for the cancellation were Bernie Sanders supporters. One of the leaders of the protest was a Sanders surrogate, 20-year-old Ja'Mal D Green, who describes the night as a "win."
"Our whole purpose was to shut it down," Green said.
He told CBS News he was not alone in planning the event.
NBC News also quoted Green and said the violence "was largely organized by supporters of Sanders, the Democratic presidential candidate who has struggled to win over black voters but whose revolutionary streak has excited radicals of all racial demographics."
Remember the #TrumpRally wasn't just luck. It took organizers from dozens of organizations and thousands of people to pull off. Great work.
— People For Bernie (@People4Bernie) March 12, 2016
People for Bernie collects donations for the candidate. Last May it joined other groups—including remnants the Occupy movement and Democratic Socialists of America—in support the candidate. Democratic Socialists of America is a spin-off from the Socialist Party of America.
Sanders has yet to denounce the Friday storming of the Trump event.
On Saturday Donald Trump blamed Sanders for the mob action that shut down his rally.
"They were taunted, they were harassed by these other people—by the way, some represented Bernie, our communist friend," Trump said during an event in Dayton, Ohio. "With Bernie, he should really get up and say to his people, 'stop, stop.' Not me."
Infowars.com reported today Ilya Sheyman and MoveOn were also responsible for the attack that denied the frontrunner his First Amendment right of free speech.
On his Facebook page today Green said he "woke up to a lot of love" after the rampage.
He informed Trump, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez the mob that stormed the Chicago Pavilion runs the city.
In February Green admitted working directly with Bernie Sanders:

Inquirer.com and PhillyDailyNews.com, standalone websites for two newspapers owned by Interstate General Media, will soon close, Philadelphia Magazine reported Thursday.
According to a memo obtained by Philadelphia Magazine, the two sites, which feature content from The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Philadelphia Daily News, will be "folded into" one site, Philly.com:
What this means is that the standalone newspaper-branded sites will no longer exist and will instead redirect readers to Philly.com, where users will find Inquirer and Daily News journalism featured more prominently and have access to branded Inquirer and Daily News section fronts that represent the editorial voice and judgment of the newspapers.
The decision marks an end of an experiment began in April 2013, when both newspapers unveiled the subscription-based sites. The sites were designed to "reflect the papers' personalities"
A few newspapers have released parallel free and subscription-based sites, including The San Francisco Chronicle (which maintains sfgate.com free of charge and sfchronicle.com for subscribers) and The Boston Globe (which offers boston.com for free and bostonglobe.com with a metered paywall system)

Musical Memories: My Grandpa
I don't know if playing music by ear is a gift that can be inherited, but if it is, I can't take full credit for what I have learned. I have a long ancestral line of musicians, including trumpeters, harmonica players, singers, band leaders, songwriters, whistlers, and of course, piano players.
My Grandpa Hathaway played the piano by ear. I never asked him what kind of technique he used to learn what he played, but I have vivid memories of watching his fingers dance across the keys as the sounds of Beautiful Dreamer and Memories filled my grandparents' living room. Their house always had a classic, well-cared for style, with curio-cabinets and intricate mementos of their lives and era. The piano was situated in the tightest corner of their beautiful living room, with only enough room for the piano and a player, but the music carried throughout the whole house.
Not only did Grandpa teach himself to play that piano, he essentially put the thing together himself – at least after taking it completely apart. When he and Grandma bought it, they wanted to put it in the downstairs living room, but their stairway was too narrow for a full-size piano. So Grandpa disassembled the whole thing – with every key removed, and took it down into the living room in pieces.
Grandma hassled him that he would never be able to get the thing back together, but he did, and it is still there today. I suppose that piano will stay with the house forever.
We had a piano in our living room, too, though we didn't have to take it apart to get it there. I was fourteen when I decided I was going to really learn to play the piano, and that year Grandma and Grandpa Hathaway came for Thanksgiving Dinner.
During those contented hours between the feast and the serving of pie, I found myself Continue reading Musical Memories: My Grandpa

The Skinny Bastard diet can be found in the book "Skinny Bastard", a foul mouthed companion diet to the popular "Skinny Bitch" series of weight loss books which suggest a vegan diet as a route to weight loss. One difference between "Skinny Bitch" and "Skinny Bastard" — the book aimed at men suggests ways that men can "get ripped", or add muscle mass.
In an effort to capture the attention of males, the "Skinny" series authors Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin have reclothed their vegan manifesto with terms and concepts aimed at men. Their best-selling diet book franchise includes titles like "Skinny Bitch: Bun in the Oven" and is known for being a bit over the top. The new book, "Skinny Bastard" is published by Running Press and went on sale Monday May 11th 2009.
The authors and publisher seem to think that a "tough-love" message (one similar to the message found in the original book aimed at women) will translate wel for men who are under the same pressures to lose weight and build muscle. Running Press, which is a division of Perseus Books, has an initial print run of 100,000 copies planned.
The original book "Skinny Bitch," containing weight loss gems like "soda is liquid Satan" and "sugar is the Devil", has appeared on the New York Times Advice, How To , and Miscellaneous Paperback Best-Seller list for a total of 92 weeks, selling over a million copies thus far. The book's authors have also come up with a recipe book, called "Skinny Bitch in the Kitch," which sold a solid but not stellar 217,000 copies. Their book for pregnant mothers, "Skinny Bitch: Bun in the Oven," has no doubt been a disappointment to the publisher, moving only about 26,000 copies.
An executive at Perseus Books had this to say about the latest addition to the "Skinny" series — "Skinny Bastard is a testosterone repackaging of basically the same book, prepared in a way that will get the message out to men." Critics wonder if men will respond to massive social pressure the same way as women.
Ms. Freedman said she and Ms. Barnouin claim they always planned to write a book for men, but decided to establish their target audience among women — who are indeed more likely to buy diet books.
What does the book look like? "Skinny Bastard" does in fact follow the same outline as "Skinny Bitch," with some big changes in language meant to raise the book's appeal to the male psyche. When you compare the male version of the book with the female, you get a good idea of the tactics the authors are using to attract the different genders. In the original book, "Skinny Bitch", we get this from the introduction to women — "If you can't take one more day of self-loathing, you're ready to get skinny." Note the assumption of low self esteem and the appeal to women's eagerness to "fit in". In the men's version, the message is gentler. The introduction to "Skinny Bastard" reads, in part: "Chances are, you haven't done so badly . . . don't kid yourself, pal: A hot-bodied man is a head-turner." This message appeals to men's apparently higher self esteem (" . . . you haven't done so badly . . .") while trying to convince them that a man with a certain type of body is more appealing to women. I tend to agree with this philosophy — as a man, I've seen this behavior work on other men. If you tell a man that he'll attract more women by eating crushed glass, he's likely to do it.
In another attempt to appeal to males, the authors have included a section on professional athletes who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet — just the kind of diet that the authors of "Skinny Bastard" support. Athletes featured in the book include Ricky Williams, infamous running back for the Miami Dolphins. I'm not sure that men will want to follow the diet of such a controversial character, but their appeal to the sports loving side of men is not misguided. The authors have also added a new chapter not found in the "Skinny Bitch" diet. Called "No Girls Allowed", this chapter outlines the male exclusive benefits of eating a vegan diet, such as the prevention of prostate cancer and certain heart diseases more often found in men.
In general, diet books that men have purchased in the past tend to focus on the fitness aspect of weight loss and muscle mass building rather than telling men what to eat. When "Skinny Bastard" suggests that men should abandon the typically masculine "meat and potatoes" diet they may be barking up the wrong tree. Though I know a handful of men who are vegetarians, and at least one who claims to be a vegan, I know hundreds, maybe thousands of men who would be very cautious about abandoning their standard diet habits. In fact, it is doubtful that men will buy a diet book at all. According to the survey experts at Nielson, as many as 8 out of 10 people who buy diet books are women. "Skinny Bastard" may be a huge gamble for the women whose success with "Skinny Bitch" was both surprising and a bit upsetting to most women. There is a chance that women will buy "Skinny Bastard" for their friends, boyfriends, or husbands, but can this "gift" market be as popular as the self help market was?
Only time will tell.

The pop star grew up in Stoke-on-Trent and has supported the club since he was a child.
"Although I can't be at the Vale often, my investment is just to say that my heart is still there and I'm a huge supporter," Williams said.
Port Vale chairman Bill Bratt said he welcomed the investment, the size of which has not been disclosed.
He confirmed that Williams has bought the remaining available shares in the club.
There was £260,000 worth of shares remaining at the beginning of February.
'Secure the future'
Mr Bratt said he was "extremely pleased and excited" about Williams' stake, which "clearly shows that he cares about Port Vale FC and its future".
"It's now up to the board and all at Port Vale FC to ensure his investment is used wisely in helping to secure the future at the club," said Mr Bratt.
Three years ago Williams turned down a chance to invest in the club, which had been suffering financial problems at the time.
"I'm really excited about what we may be able to do with the club in the future," he said in a statement on Monday.
Vale manager Martin Foyle added: "I've always known Robbie's heart is in the Vale - I'm delighted, but not surprised by what he has done."

Gutters 101: Cleaning and Maintaining Them
Although you may not always consider your gutters, they play a vital role in the general state of your home. Poorly maintained gutters or gutters which have sustained serious damage may result in additional harm to other sections of your house, so ensuring they are in good shape is essential. In this week's article, we are going to provide you with some basic suggestions about how to best clean and manage your gutters.
How to Efficiently Clean Your Gutters
When it comes to keeping your gutters in good shape, among the biggest issues is that of congestion. Events that cause strong windows or seasonal changes may cause trees to lose a significant amount of their leaves, which then find their way into your gutters.
Installing Gutter Guards
To prevent leaves, twigs and other debris from getting into your gutters, it's worth considering installing gutter guards. Gutter guards are typically a plastic mesh that fits into your gutter and prevents any form of debris that is often responsible for clogging up your gutters from collecting. Of course, before you put in gutter guards, be sure that you have eliminated any present debris out of the gutters.
Do the following before installing gutter guards:
Eliminate debris. Check every section of your gutters for debris and clear all of it, one area at a time. Take note that having a hose and forcing the debris down into your downpipe is something that you should NOT do since this will just cause clogging issues instead. At the same time, when eliminating the debris by hand, make sure you are pushing the debris away from the entrance of your downpipe.
Check for leaks and rust. A few more things to do before getting gutter guards would be to hunt for any leaks and rust. If you merely have pinhole leaks, these can normally be fixed with some roof sealant. If the leaks are more serious, however, the ideal approach is to hire a professional. Gutter corrosion is not as big of an issue as it was due to most gutters being made of hard plastic but, if you still possess a metal gutter, rust is a possible issue. Pooling water or excessive moisture may result in rust. If you spot any, call a professional to repair or replace those components.
After the debris has been removed and your gutters repaired as necessary, you should be good to go to install those gutter guards, which will make future maintenance a much effortless task. Take note that if you choose not to install gutter guards, it is crucial to examine your gutters every few months to check and make sure that any clog-causing debris has not made its way in there.
Lastly, remember to always keep an eye on your gutter straps. Be sure to re-nail or tighten them if any of them have loosened. If any of these straps have been seriously damaged or ruined, a replacement is needed as soon as possible.
You've got this! Regular gutter maintenance will keep improving the overall health of your roof and house.

To Backup or not to Back-up?
We know that Businesses run on data, however how many businesses have acted to actually protect their core operations if and when disaster strikes? To put it in perspective, let's look at some mind-blowing statistics on Big Data:
- Data volumes are exploding. More data has been created in the past 2 years than in the entire previous history of the human race.
- Data is growing faster than ever before. By 2020, about 1.7 megabytes of new information will be created every second for every human being on the planet.
- By 2020, our accumulated digital universe of data will grow from 4.4 zettabytes today to around 44 zettabytes.
- Within 5 years there will be over 50 billion smart connected devices in the world, all developed to collect, analyze and share data.
- For a typical Fortune 1000 company, just a 10% increase in data accessibility will result in more than $ 65 million additional income.
Source: forbes.com
Now that we see the big picture, I would argue that data is of vital importance in the long-term sustainability of a business. Additionally, most businesses will need to start thinking about analyzing and visualizing their data in order to make intelligent decisions about their business.
Firstly, there seems to be a misunderstanding between Data Back-Up and Disaster Recovery or better known as Business Continuity.
There is a strong necessity for business continuity to be put in place, not only for SME's but all large organizations. Around 35% of businesses have data backup in place, and at the SMB end of the market, around 75% of SMBs have no disaster recovery plan at all. A lot of companies don't factor the cost implications it would encounter if a server crashes and an e-commerce website goes offline for a few hours. These organizations would suffer greatly if transactional records were lost, or doctors could not administer proper care on patients due to data loss at a hospital or a healthcare facility if their records were inaccessible.
Organizations looking at deploying business continuity solutions must first realize that they have to differentiate between data backup and business continuity. For non-essential documents and other information this might not be a problem for the organization, but when it comes to information held on a mail server, or a customer database, it's a very different story. A true business continuity solution will allow organizations to be fully function during an actual disaster, instead of just simply recovering from it.
As a business owner, if you have not contemplated deploying some sort of a business continuity solution, then consider the following statistics obtained from Boston Computing Network:
- In the past 2 years, over 50% of businesses experienced unforeseen interruptions. 81% of these caused the business to close for 1+ days
- 80% of businesses that suffer a major disaster go out of business in 3 years
- 40% of businesses that experience a critical failure go out of business in 1 year
- Vendors offering disaster recovery solutions have stated that 60-70% of all problems that disrupt businesses are due to internal malfunctions of hardware & software or human errors that lead to fraud
- 140,000 HDDs fail in the US every week
- 31% of PC users have lost their files due to events beyond their control
- 34% of companies fail to test their tape backups, and of those who do, 77% have found backup and restore failures
Customers are now smarter and more educated than ever and have a lot of options to choose from. It is not uncommon for customers to demand accessibility and availability of your business 24/7. If your business isn't prepared to support true business continuity following any unplanned interruption, more than likely, there's a competitor who is. Organizations today can't afford to leave their data to chance. Effective continuity planning is a must, and for those businesses unable to manage the process themselves, Media Solutions provides robust data storage, replication and recovery services.

Benefits: Heart + Immunity + Brain & Vision + Anti-Aging Beauty
Here you've got a tasty recipe that is low fat, heart-healthy, and good for your circulation. It comes from a Chinese colleague, whose family owned and operated Chinese seafood restaurants for years. This is what they had the chef prepare for them almost every evening when they sat down for dinner. Besides its wonderful taste, it's also a beautiful dish with the colorful peppers.
- Yield
- Serves 4
- 1 (2-pound) skin-on halibut fillet, rinsed and patted dry
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut lengthwise into long, thin strips
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut lengthwise into long, thin strips
- 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut lengthwise into long, thin strips
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
- 2 scallions (dark green part only), chopped, for garnish
- 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- 2. Put the fish in a baking dish and top with the bell peppers, onion, ginger, and soy sauce. Drizzle the orange juice over the fish and sprinkle the zest evenly over it; cover the dish tightly with parchment paper. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
- 3. Using two large spatulas, transfer the fish to a serving platter, pour the juices from the baking dish over the top, and garnish with the scallions.
Tangy and crunchy, bell peppers come in a rainbow of colors. They are packed with vitamins C and A, two antioxidants that work together to neutralize free radicals. Their content of beta-carotene, the vitamin A precursor, supports vision health and skin regeneration. Among many beneficial vitamins, peppers contain vitamin B6 , folic acid, and fiber—all helpful for protection against hardening of the arteries and heart disease. Compared with green peppers, red peppers contain more vitamins and nutrients, especially lycopene, a carotenoid that can help protect against certain cancers such as prostate and cervical cancers.

I just watched parts 3,4,5 and 6 tonight... any comments?
I havent watched the original, which is also on Demand so I didnt have anything to compare it against.
i dont think I could stand watching The Prisoner if it had been a regular ongoing series without any answers, just the fact that they wrapped it up in 6 shows with a beginning, middle and end was good... but some of the shows from 2,3,4 seemed as if it were stretching it out a bit.

This is a quick and easy recipe for a cheesy chicken quiche that uses poached chicken but can also use leftover chicken.
Excellent...I changed a few things,I used montery cheese/ garlic & herb soup mix and I added broccoli. Everyone loved it, had enough to make two deep dish pies. Very easy to make, next will be spinach and chicken quiche. - 21 Feb 2005 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
The quiche looked pretty when I took it out of the oven but the onion soup taste was overwhelming. Maybe it would be better with half or a third of a package of the dry onion soup mix. - 19 Mar 2003 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Recipe was great. I'm on low carb diet so I made it crustless and substituted heavy cream for skim milk. It was still great! My husband even liked it. I will definitely make this one again! - 29 May 2002 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)

Sydney progressive rock trio Cog are ready to release their first new music since Sharing Space. Following a sold-out 2016 tour, Cog are back in 2018 with new music.
The band formed in 1998 by former schoolmates Flynn Gower (vocals, guitar) and Lucius Borich (drums), who had previously played together in The Hanging Tree, a late-'90s stoner rock band. Shortly after forming and writing some initial material, the two incorporated Luke Gower, the brother of Flynn, to play bass.
Now a trio, Cog proceeded to establish themselves as a popular gig attraction in Sydney and the surrounding state of New South Wales, and following the release of a 2000 demo recording, Pseudo, they were soon signed by the independent label Little Samurai, resulting in a few EP releases: Just Visiting, Pt. 1 (2002), Just Visiting, Pt. 2 (2002), and Open Up (2003).
Cog was then signed by former Universal Music Australia managing director Paul Krige's independent label, Difrnt Music, and in turn went to California to work with Sylvia Massy, who had produced Tool's Undertow (1993) and who also had a close affiliation with producer Rick Rubin, working as an engineer with him on albums such as System of a Down's 1998 self-titled debut. Cog's resulting full-length album debut, The New Normal (2005), became an Australian rock sensation, debuting in the Top 20 of the albums chart and hitting number one on the Australian Independent Recordings (AIR) chart; moreover, the album spawned the popular radio single Run, which reached the Top Five of the AIR singles chart.
Cog recorded their follow-up album, Sharing Space (2008), with Massy once again, and the album proved even more successful than its predecessor, reaching number two on the Australian albums chart and spawning the Top 50 hit What If.
