Famous automotive designer Gordon Murray has signed on to the Lotus Advisory Council to oversee the current and future direction of the resurgent British sports car brand.
Murray is famous for his design and development of Brabham and McLaren Formula One race cars between 1969 and 2006, as well as the McLaren F1 road car and more recently the T.25 and T.27 electric concepts.
Murray joins the Advisory Council alongside Bob Lutz, the former vice chairman of General Motors, as well as Tom Purves, Prof Burkhard Goschel and Frank Tuch.
The Council will give Lotus advice and guidance on strategic issues including product strategy, technology, quality, marketing and distribution.
Group Lotus CEO, Dany Bahar, said the Norfolk-based team was excited to work under the guidance of an automotive icon like Murray.
“Gordon has never been afraid to trail blaze, take risks and do things differently, these are attribute that we are very familiar with and very proud of at Lotus,” Mr Bahar said.“With his incredible and unique motorsport and design experience he will complement the existing council line up perfectly.”
Upon his appointment, Murray said he had been an admirer of the Lotus brand for decades.
"I have great respect for the legacy that Colin Chapman created and I think what Dany and the team are doing is a really good thing for the brand,” Murray said.“He's taking the strength from Chapman's principals and taking the business to the next level whilst still keeping the general ethos – not an easy task.”

Now the moment all of you living in Seattle, Boulder, and Montpelier have been waiting for—the all-new Subaru Outback! Unwrapped in Frankfurt, the Outback is based on the new Legacy platform and comes with a 2.5-liter flat-four or a 3.0-liter flat-six, which is mated to a five-speed automatic. Compared with previous Outbacks, the new look is more restrained, void of the contrasting cladding and white-lettered tires. Inside, the Outback is bigger and more decadently appointed. Subaru says the new Outback will go on sale in the U.S. by the middle of next year.

Is there a particular vehicle I should get for my trip to Mechanicsburg?
That all depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Mechanicsburg. Economy or compact vehicles are great for short commutes and are easier to park.

Mid and East Antrim Council has backed a motion urging the UK Government to review the current levels of Air Passenger Duty and VAT in Northern Ireland.
Elected members supported a motion by Councillor Audrey Wales MBE, who said the province’s tourism sector is at a competitive disadvantage due to the current levies.
The motion welcomed the opening of a consultation on the matter and appealed to the Government to ensure a swift conclusion, in order that proposals can be made in the Autumn Budget.
Cllr Wales said: “The tourism and hospitality industry in Northern Ireland has been a real success story over the past few years. External visitor numbers reached almost 2.5 million in 2016 – eight percent higher than the previous year.
“Although tourism has performed well, there’s still much potential for growth. We have the magnificent Carrickfergus Castle – the gateway to the Causeway Coastal Route, the stunning Gobbins cliff path, a world-class spa resort in Galgorm, the UK Village of the Year in Broughshane, key sites from the iconic Game of Thrones, and, of course, St Patrick’s connections with Slemish.
“The Northern Ireland Affairs Committee at Westminster published an inquiry report into promoting the tourism industry in 2016. After a full inquiry, their conclusion was clear – Northern Ireland’s tourism industry is at a disadvantage to the Republic because of the effect of lower VAT and no equivalent to Air Passenger Duty.
“The inquiry report recommended that the UK Government implement regional variations in tourism VAT and abolish Air Passenger Duty on all flights. The long-haul Air Passenger Duty was devolved to the Northern Ireland Assembly in 2012, and the Assembly chose to immediately remove the Duty.
“The removal of short-haul Air Passenger Duty would encourage airlines to bring new routes to Northern Ireland and would connect Northern Ireland with key business and tourism markets. The short-haul Air Passenger Duty has made it more difficult for our airports to obtain new routes and compete with the increasingly dominant Dublin airport.
“The reduction of VAT and removal of Air Passenger Duty at this time would set a new direction for Northern Ireland.
“As we approach the departure from the European Union, Northern Ireland must maximise the opportunities to promote, encourage and showcase our tourism potential.”
Councillor Robert Logan, who seconded the proposal, said: “We have a duty to our citizens to be proactive and make sure those outside of Northern Ireland hear about what we have to offer. Our role as a council is to go out and make sure we spread the word of how great Northern Ireland, and in particular Mid and East Antrim, really is, and to support businesses investing in our wonderful Borough.”

Is the party finally over for the North American oil boom?.
According to the IHS study, about one-quarter of the new wells that started up last year had a break-even WTI price -- that is, the price needed to both cover capital and operating costs, while generating a 10 percent return -- of $40 or less. A bit less than half of those new wells, however, had break-even prices of $60 or less, and close to one-third had break-even prices of $81 or higher.
IHS said more wells will be drilled this year, and it expects U.S. oil production to increase again in 2015. But most of that growth will occur by midyear.
The major oil companies are already acknowledging that things are slowing down. On Tuesday, as part of BP's (BP) report of fourth-quarter 2014 results, it announced it was reducing its annual budget for 2015 to $20 billion, down from nearly $23 billion last year.."
At the same time, IHS officials say, a lot can occur -- economically, industrially, geopolitically and otherwise -- that could make all these predictions moot.
"If oil prices remain weak and confidence in future prices remains shaken, U.S. production in 2016 could possibly flatten or even decline," said Raoul LeBlanc, IHS Energy senior director, financial markets and co-author of the report.
"But there is plenty that could happen," he continued, "a recovery in oil prices, lower upstream costs and improved well productivity -- that would quickly change the calculus of drilling new wells and reinvigorate U.S. production growth."

Effective: Late Fall 8-Week, 2018/2019
Prerequisite: 6 hours of PSYC courses or 6 hours of BIOL courses.
Welcome to Neuroscience (BIOL 371/PSYC 371). This course examines one of the most exciting and fastest growing fields in psychology. In recent years, advances in neuroscience have significantly altered long-held assumptions, ideas, and beliefs about the brain and mind; indeed, about the very nature of human nature. In fact, all branches of psychology – and many other fields of scientific inquiry – are being profoundly impacted by neuroscience (also known as biological psychology). During this course, we will survey the physiological processes that underlie human thoughts, feelings, and behavior. We will learn about human anatomy, the structures of the brain, and the central nervous system. We will study sensation and movement. We will learn about the importance of hormones and neurotransmitters, as well as sleep, hunger, and reproduction. We will explore the neuroscience of emotions. We will study the biopsychology of language, memory, cognition, attention, and how we learn. Finally, we will explore the biology of selected psychological disorders, such as the schizophrenias, bipolar disorders, and substance abuse.
You can find more details about standard technical requirements for our courses on our site.
Students are expected to complete each week’s readings and activities on time. Students will be required to read and review additional scholarly materials from sources such as professional journals, relevant books, multimedia sources, and reputable websites.]
Self-Assessment Quizzes: Students are expected to complete two (2) self-assessment quizzes, each consisting of 20 multiple-choice questions, during the first four weeks of this course.

These two quizzes may be taken an unlimited number of times, at any time during the period from Monday 12:01 AM CT of Week 1 through Sunday 11:59 PM CT of Week 4, using the Quizzes area for this course. [2 self-assessment quizzes x 10 points each = 20 total possible points]
Quizzes: Students are required to complete a weekly quiz consisting of 20 multiple-choice questions covering the week’s assigned readings. Each week’s quiz may be taken once, at any time during the week but must be submitted no later than by Sunday 11:59 PM CT of the assigned week, using the Quizzes area for this course.

Midterm Exam: Students are required to complete a midterm examination consisting of 50 multiple-choice questions, covering all course readings to date. The midterm examination is not proctored; you may use books and other resources. However, it is a two-hour timed test taken online, so you will not have much time to look up information.

It's Not You/
To be chosen. To be seen.
To be enough. To be loved.
There’s pain behind not feeling chosen. Not feeling seen. There’s pain behind not feeling enough. Not feeling loved.
You look for ways to be chosen. You work hard to be seen. But you are not enough as you are. You are loved for other things.
In your desire to: Be chosen. Be seen. Be enough. Be loved.
You put on the happy face. This is your armor. This is your mask. This is you. You believe this as truth. It becomes a pattern in your life and you don’t even know it. You are doing what you need to do.
To be chosen, seen, enough, loved.
You don’t fully trust You don’t fully receive You don’t fully believe
Until one day. One day after many Days Months Years
You grieve another “not you” It’s deep It’s raw It’s not you
Only, “It’s not you” takes on a different meaning.
A new dawn arises You take on this new meaning. It’s not you
You begin to say I choose me I see me I am enough I love me
And the patterns come to light- How you’ve bought into the lie. Have repeatedly lived the lie- “Not You” In so many ways.
My children My family For so many years filled my need, my soul, by choosing me.
And I choose them. I see them. They are enough. They are loved.
They grow up – and then they choose.
Our children. They teach us. We are children among our children, Continuing to grow and evolve.
When they were young; They showed me peace. They showed me creativity. They showed me I am intuitive. They showed me trust.
When they were tweens; They taught me about silence. They taught me about patience. They taught me about boundaries. They taught me about discomfort.
As teenagers, they are teaching me; They wish to be chosen. They wish to be seen. They wish to be enough. They wish to be loved.
By me, by others, by their own selves.
They become adults: They go. They choose. The choices are theirs. It’s not you.
They teach me: New ways of choosing New ways of being New ways of understanding New ways of loving
You, too, continue to have a choice. Buy back into the lie and believe, it’s not you Or You can continue to grow, learn and know, it’s not you.
You are seen. You are loved. You are enough. You are chosen.
As YOU

Unhealthy Foods Celebrities Refuse to Eat
Celebrities have access to the best nutritionists, personal chefs, and trainers in the business. So when they dish on their diets, we can’t help but be interested in what they’re eating (and what they refuse to put on their plates). Sure, some celebrities promote junk food through commercials and advertisements. And many occasionally indulge in unhealthy food. (They — and you — probably deserve the occasional cheat day or sweet indulgence.) But many celebrities stick to relatively strict diets.
So which unhealthy foods have your favorite athletes, movie stars, and models sworn off? Some adhere to strict diets and cut out lots of food groups. And some have some pretty weird eating habits. But many of them avoid the same kinds of foods we all cut out when we’re trying to lose weight or eat a healthier diet. Read on to find out which foods are off-limits in celebrities’ households.
1. Cheeseburgers
Tom Brady steers clear of cheeseburgers. | iStock.com
New York Magazine learned that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady doesn’t eat cheeseburgers. “I don’t believe you could be a 39-year-old quarterback in the NFL and eat cheeseburgers every day,” Brady explains. “I want to be able to do what I love to do for a long time.” Another interesting feature of Brady’s diet? He has also never tried strawberries or coffee. That probably won’t change anytime soon. “I’ve never eaten a strawberry in my life. I have no desire to do that,” Brady tells the publication. Never? “Absolutely not.”
2. Cocktails

Many celebs do their best to cut sugar out of their diets. And People reports that for Kourtney Kardashian, an important part of that strategy is avoiding cocktails. “Cocktails are often mixed with juice or soda — not only high in calories, but sugar, too,” Kardashian wrote on her website. .” Other ways Kardashian recommends cutting sugar out of your diet? Steer clear of soda and store-bought salad dressing.
3. Cookies

Kirstie Alley tells People there are three foods she avoids to maintain weight loss: cookies, linguini with clams, and cheese. Linguini, clams, and cheese might be relatively healthy in moderation. But cookies aren’t super nutritious — and it’s pretty easy to overindulge, especially if your cookie of choice is as adorable as what Alley describes. “I love sugar cookies that are frosted with Santa’s faces and trees, so I didn’t order any and I didn’t have any,” she says. “My friends were dismayed because I usually give them out as gifts.”
4. Fried food

Snacks might not be inherently unhealthy. But Delish reports that Beyoncé swears off many kinds of snack foods. She doesn’t eat fried foods. And she doesn’t allow chips, candy, or desserts in her pantry. Delish reports that the star doesn’t believe in crash diets and loads up on vegetables. She loves hot sauce. And she occasionally treats herself to a meal she wouldn’t normally eat. “I always treat myself to one meal on Sundays when I can have whatever I want,” she says. “Usually it’s pizza, which is my favorite indulgence.”
5. Pork

Many celebrities are vegetarians or even vegans. Others are just selective about which meats they choose to eat. According to People, reality TV star Khloé Kardashian refuses to eat pork. In fact, when asked whether she would rather eat pork or gain 10 pounds, she answered, “I would for sure rather gain 10 pounds! I don’t think I’ll ever eat pork in my life.” She’ll only eat turkey bacon. And she notes that she often has to switch up recipes, specifically for Thanksgiving, when many dishes include bacon.
6. Processed foods

Spoon University reports that actress Emma Watson tries to avoid overly processed foods. Instead of eating packaged, processed foods, she’s a big fan of nutritious options such as lean proteins, whole grains, and unsaturated fats. She’s a proponent of cooking your own food. (It’s an easy way to eat more wholesome foods instead of relying on processed foods.) As for the things Watson likes eating? She’s a fan of Mexican cuisine; occasionally indulges in junk food, such as pizza; loves gin and tonics; and occasionally eats Nutella.
7. Red meat

Red meat isn’t the healthiest source of protein out there. Red meat of all types makes the (long) list of foods Gwyneth Paltrow doesn’t eat. Refinery29 reports that as part of a detox plan, Paltrow swears off red meat. She also refuses to consume alcohol, caffeine, dairy, gluten, nightshades, soy, shellfish, added sugar, and white rice. Sure, sugar and alcohol might not be the healthiest things to consume. But keep in mind that dairy, gluten, and shellfish can all be part of a healthy diet.
8. Refined carbs

Eat This, Not That! reports that according to Kate Upton’s trainer, the model avoids refined carbs, plus alcohol and added sugar, when she’s trying to lose weight. Refined carbs just means foods that are made with white flour. That means ditching the white bread for whole grain and swapping processed packaged foods for wholesome, homemade versions.
9. Soda
Shaquille O’Neal avoids soda. | iStock.com/Radu Bercan
Former basketball player Shaquille O’Neal tells People that when he’s trying to eat healthy, he sticks to a diet of “a lot of chicken, a lot of fish and a lot of salad.” But at the same time, he cuts out a lot of foods — soda, bread, and sandwiches in particular. He also cuts out cheat days at Waffle House and McDonald’s. That’s all in pursuit of a muscled physique. “I’m trying to get big and bulky and strong like a body builder almost,” he tells People. “When I take my shirt off I want you to see muscles everywhere.”
10. Sugar
Connie Britton avoids sugar. | iStock.com
Friday Night Lights and Nashville star Connie Britton tells People she loves food. “I’m a foodie, and I think that getting out and trying different restaurants is a great way to see what local people are doing and to feel the essence of that place,” she says. Britton tries to eat a heart-healthy diet and loves pasta. As for what she doesn’t eat? “Sugar is something that I really try to stay away from,” she says. However, she admits, “If I was really, really going to cheat and be really bad and didn’t care about calories, I go for chocolate cake.”

Bullet Chess #8
Hello everyone, I wanted to write this quick post to let everyone know I have just published a new video on my youtube channel. It is the eighth installment of my bullet chess series. The video features upbeat music by Kevin MacLeod for sound as I play a bullet game that leads to an endgame where I have an extra piece. As usual, the video can be found at the end of this post. Stay tuned for more!
Sincerely,
Charles Collier

Review: IM Castellanos' Comprehensive Positional Course for Club Players
For about two years, I’ve received numerous requests to do reviews for chess products I’ve tried. I occasionally do reviews for books on Amazon, so I felt occasionally doing a few on my blog for chess products that I can’t review for Amazon would fill the void. It’s obvious to many that I acquire a rather absurd number of products for training, and so I get many general and specific requests for reviews, or merely asking whether I recommend whichever product. Among the most frequently asked product-review question I get is about products from The Chess World. I’m still not set in my opinion on The Chess World. Probably, the best I can say is that each individual product they produce is going to be hit or miss. The item I’m going to review here is IM Renier Castellanos’ Comprehensive Positional Course for Club Players.
Contra my preliminary impression of The Chess World, Castellanos’ series is phenomenal. In fact, I’ll begin with all the positives, which seem to stem exclusively from Castellanos’ approach, philosophy of instruction, and pedagogical methods; and then I’ll list the negatives, which are almost assuredly the fault of The Chess World as the production company.
IM Castellanos is extremely organized in his presentation. In almost every point of his presentation, where a club player is going to ask about a major alternative move, IM Castellanos’ either goes back and says, “not move X, because…” or “I know what you are thinking, but move Y does not work yet in this position.” Castellanos is very incisive with his question-asking, forcing the view to become engaged and actively think about the positions, ideas, features, of the positions, and variational possibilities. He’s very quick to answer natural questions that arise, such as “If bishops of opposite color are so good for drawing in middlegames, then why is the possession of opposite color bishops so problematic for the weaker side in a middlegame?” He answers in a theoretical fashion, and then points the exemplar positions to give concrete explanations; then he ties in the plans of each game to that concrete explanation. Castellanos is very nearly this systematic in every video, and sometimes more so.
Castellanos covers 15 topics in the course, 4 of which have two videos to cover the 1 topic: IQP, hanging pawns, backward pawns, doubled pawns, Q-side majority, minority attacks, exploiting weak squares, creating weaknesses, space advantage, open files, bishop pair, opposite color bishops, exchange sacs, exchanging pieces, and B vs. N. Each video is about 30 minutes. Just by looking at the contents list, you can probably get a sense of how well thought out this course is. There certainly are some explicit topics missing by name, but even those are included videos, even if not featured as the central topic. For example, N outposts, while not explicitly discussed as a central feature of any video, are still to be found in segments, such as N vs. B and creating weaknesses.
What I have negative to say is probably exclusively the fault of the production company. There were a few errors in the videos, and I feel like they were the result of essentially not having an editor or editorial staff to point things out or double check. The general production quality of the videos was bare bones minimum. The resolution was fine, at least. The company probably should have asked Castellanos to create some related interactive problems, even if only in PGN format, for the viewers to attempt to employ what was learned. There was a bit of an issue with what the target audience was supposed to be, which is a major issue within the production, I think. Castellanos repeatedly stated that the course was for “beginners,” though the company titled it for “club players.” Aside from terminology, this may not have made much difference, but I think Castellanos changed his teaching speed a couple of times to slow down and speak more simply for lower rated players. The general pacing of the series was excellent for the 1200-2000 level, but you will notice these strange “speed changes,” which I think are due to the presenter either not being confident in who his audience is, because there is some disconnect between the presenter’s idea of the intended audience and the production company’s; or the former hadn’t clearly articulated who the audience is to the former, or even the presenter could have petitioned to be more inclusive. I really don’t know.
I got this course for $40, so at $2 video, I think that cost-benefit ratio is right at about where it needs to be to recommend this series. I’m a huge advocate of books over videos, partly because you get so much more content from books. However, if someone tremendously prefers videos or is going to use videos as I do, as a supplementary form of study to augment other studies and to fill time gaps, Castellanos’ course can easily be recommended. It is probably suitable for most players under 2000 (USCF). At $40, I think the course is properly priced. One of the big issues I have with these sorts of video productions is that the companies often want a whole lot more money than a book’s cost, yet so much less work generally goes into them. For me, I might go as high as $60, because I think Castellanos is one of the up-and-coming chess instructors, who are much better than many of the GMs. I’m not sure it will happen, but I’d love to see the production quality of ChessBase get behind Castellanos.
I enjoyed the course, and it went very well with other study materials I’ve been going through on positional play, including Chess Strategy for the Club Player by IM Grooten and GM Nigel Davies’ content on tigerchess.com.

How to image diagonals
That's difficult to image a diagonal without seeing a board. So, I thought how to image a diagonal. Of course imaging that depend on the person. Just for information.
Firstly, imaging three square's diagonals ( red ) on the 4 x 4 squares. That's easier for me to image it with another three square's ( blue ) . It's more important to recognize where squares are than imaging figure clearly.
Four square's diagonals
Imaging it with two 2 x 2 squares.
Five square's diagonals
At first, memorizing either end of five square's diagonal. And then imaging five squares with three square's image and 4 x 4 square's image.
Six square's diagonals
Similarly, memorizing either end of six square's diagonal. And then imaging six squares with three 2 x 2 squares.
Seven square's diagonals
Memorizing either end of seven square's diagonal. It might be the most difficult to image seven square's diagonal. I image it like the diagram below.
Eight square's diagonals
That's easy, right? Imaging that with four 2 x 2 squares.

Newport Open Round 3
With 1 point after the first 2 rounds, I was paired with Ritch Duron who also had 1 point. He was rated 1775, and I'd never played him before, so I didn't know what to expect. It was the last round of the day, starting at 7 PM. By now I was rather tired and felt like I had enough chess for the day, so I probably didn't play the best. But presumably everyone was in this situation by round 3.
After my opponent flagged at the end of the game, he had a question for the tournament director about the time controls. The head TD had gone home for the night (as it was close to 10 PM), and the assistants tried their best to answer it, but ultimately the buck stops with the head TD. After flagging my opponent said he thought there was a 5 second delay on the clock, because its optional/recommended/prefered. My opponent was ~7 minutes late to the start of the round & the game, and he forgot to check if the delay was set at the beginning of the game. The TD decided to award me the point due to my opponent flagging because it is the player's responsibility to check how their clocks are set. His tardiness / my not setting a delay was bad luck, but that is how the game goes. If the delay was mandatory (eg no analog clocks allowed), maybe the TD would have suggested that Ritch and I play on, but as it wasn't mandatory, the point was mine. Ritch said he was felt the ruling wasn't fair and was going to appeal it to the USCF, so I will update this if I hear anything back.

Brenda Malinics, founder of the Cat Camp at 8514 Germantown Ave., was just informed that she and all of the homeless cats and kittens must vacate the premises by June 30. Here Brenda is seen with Lisette, one of the 26 cats and 42 kittens needing to find homes before they are forced to vacate. (Photos by Bill Achuff)
by Brenda Malinics
— Part Two
Ed. Note: Brenda Malinics is one of four area residents who were given awards for community service by the Chestnut Hill Community Association at a dinner on Thursday, April 23. Brenda, who now has a team of volunteers, has rescued and found homes for hundreds of abandoned and abused cats and kittens over many years. However, on Monday, after the article below had been written, Brenda sent us the following note: “We have just been given notice that our Cat Camp must vacate the property at 8514 Germantown Ave. by June 30. This means that all of the 26 cats and 42 kittens presently housed at Cat Camp have nowhere to go. Brenda’s Cat Rescue is dealing with the height of kitten season, and we just finished a major trapping with Best Friends, where many pregnant females, kittens and teens were pulled from the streets.” More information at.
When I wasn’t at Cat Camp, I was at my full-time job. My house was beginning to look as if I was moving. Boxes were everywhere, and my resident cats began to run from me when I came home. Did I look like a stranger in their midst?
The Cat Camp space was huge, the windows enormous, which proved to be great for educational displays. The room itself had to be divided into cage display, work space and a quiet area where potential adopters could spend time with the cats. I borrowed a tent from a friend and set it up with pillows and chairs. We wanted the room to be welcoming and tasteful.
We then had to decide how many cats would go to Cat Camp and then check records and ensure that all those cats were current on their vaccinations. Everyone also had to have their nails clipped and their ears cleaned. It was approaching showtime.
Showtime. Friday, Jan. 30. Brenda’s Cat Rescue (BCR) volunteers spend the day putting the finishing touches on the space. Thirty minutes before opening, the skies opened, and it began to snow. Actually a blizzard began. I was sure that no one would come, but they did. Our twinkle lights in the window attracted attention from passing traffic, just as we had planned.
Opening Day. Saturday, Jan. 31. As I walked outside to get in my car to come to Camp, a neighbor ran outside with a clipping from the Roxborough Review announcing Philadelphia’s First Cat Camp sponsored by Brenda’s Cat Rescue. Pretty cool, I thought, one newspaper ran the release that I had written. (I mistakenly put the wrong address on the release!)
A friend called to say she had just heard about Cat Camp on KYW Radio; another friend phoned to say that Channel 6 featured it on TV. People were streaming in the door, and in walked a TV cameraman and reporter from Fox Channel 29. Wow! We may be onto something, I thought. The weather was frigid, but 185 people came in the first day.
Our initial plans were to keep the cats at Cat Camp only during the weekends, but now with 20+ cats in the space, that was going to be difficult. I checked with Bowman Properties, and we got permission to keep the cats onsite during the week. That proved to be another challenge because we now needed weekday volunteers and more food supplies.
Robertson Flowers donated a dozen long-stem roses for us to raffle, and we got other donations from the Chestnut Hill Cheese Shop and several Ambler businesses. On Valentine’s Day, Bredenbeck’s Bakery donated a tray of cookies, and we sold “kitty kisses” for $5. By mid-February, we adopted almost 18 cats. (BCR Adoption entails an application approval and fee.)
This is one of the 42 kittens remaining at the Chestnut Hill facility. They were rescued from inner city streets by caring volunteers who have just been told that they must close down the Cat Camp by the end of June.
The great windows of Cat Camp became educational displays showing winter shelters, heated water bowls, have-a-heart traps and messages about the need for sterilization. In one window, we placed our “adoption tree” where we hung newly adopted cats’ photos and descriptions.
This ample space was not only great for adoptions, but it enabled us to trap and recover ferals (strays). Winter trapping is always risky to the cats because following anesthesia, a cat (or person), can’t thermoregulate, and with frigid temperatures, you can’t guarantee that a cat will be able to find food and shelter when put back outside. Plus they are sore and have incisions. Females, whose bellies have to be shaved, need a minimum of 5-7 days recovery time following sterilization surgery, so we were able to trap and recover many feral cats before putting them back outdoors.
Multiple adoptions began to occur from the first weekend, and the crowds kept coming even during the most frigid weekends. Our slowest night in February, when the temperatures were well below zero, still brought in 35 people. Some folks who visit are just curious, but others come with questions about cats or to report strays in their neighborhoods. People have brought donations from our wish-list and have signed up to volunteer. On two different Saturdays, we had 265 people visit each day, and on April 18 we had 304 people visit!
February’s success turned into our space being extended into March, April and now into May. So far, we’ve had over 2,000 visits, 43 adoptions and have trapped/recovered countless feral cats. We’ve held two shelter building workshops, one in partnership with Best Friends of Utah, with whom we are partnering. We’ve held four children’s programs and four adult workshops, all focusing on compassion for animals.
The Cat Camp/Pop-up Adoption site has been a labor of love, blood, sweat and tears. People ask how long we will be at the site, but we don’t know. What we do know is that it has taken a village to create Cat Camp and build it into the success that it enjoys each Saturday weekend from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For that opportunity, the cats and BCR team extend their most sincere heartfelt thanks.

(Crain's) — Four former Merrill Lynch brokers in Chicago are pressing their ex-employer, now owned by Bank of America Corp., to pay about $3 million in compensation they argue is owed to them.
The brokers filed in Chicago for arbitration of their dispute, says Tom Leahy, an attorney at Chicago law firm Leahy & Hoste, which is representing the brokers.
The brokers left Bank of America in November 2008 over concerns that the terms of their jobs would change after the September 2008 announcement that Bank of America would acquire Merrill, he says.
Bank of America asked Merrill brokers to agree to accept personal loans under a program that would write off the IOUs within seven years if a broker stayed with the company.
But the agreement also required brokers to waive their right to get deferred compensation even if they left the company for “good reason,” Mr. Leahy said. If the brokers didn't sign up for the loans, they would be cut off from receiving coveted accounts redistributed when other brokers left the company, he says.
“Our people said ‘it looks bad and it smells bad,' ” Mr. Leahy said. The brokers declined to comment.
A Bank of America spokesman declined to comment on the case.
When the Chicago brokers left Bank of America, without signing up for the loan program, they demanded the bank follow through on Merrill promises to pay them deferred compensation earned under bonus programs.
The bank contended the brokers forfeited the deferred compensation because they didn't leave the company for “good reason,” according to Mr. Leahy.
The brokers countered that the change of control qualified as a “good reason,” Mr. Leahy said. In addition, their decision not to sign onto the loan program would have kept them from receiving the redistributed accounts, creating another “good reason” to exit, he said.
Two brokers who took the bank to arbitration on a similar issue in Florida won a $1.17-million award last month.
The Bank of America spokesman noted that the Florida arbitration panel didn't give those brokers as much money as they demanded and denied a request for punitive damages and payment of the brokers' attorney fees.
The Chicago cases are expected to be taken up as early as next month, Mr. Leahy said.

OVERVIEW
This brief social belonging intervention aims to promote a view of social setbacks as non-threatening in order to improve well-being. During the intervention, college freshmen read a report, write an essay, and read a speech that presents social adversity as something that is common and temporary during the transition to college. The activities emphasize that social adversity is not due to flaws in the individual or their ethnic group. An experimental evaluation found that the intervention had positive impacts for African American students on uncertainty about social belonging, self-doubt, happiness, health, and GPA.
DESCRIPTION
Target Population: Racial minority students adjusting to college
This intervention aims to convince students to view social setbacks or feelings of isolation in a non-threatening way since their interpretations of relationships can impact well-being. The intervention presents the message that concerns about belonging are common among students adjusting to college, but that they are temporary. Students first read a report that indicates that most students at their school worried about belonging in college during their freshman year, but that those feelings decreased over time. The report also stated that this was true across gender and ethnic groups. Next students write an essay describing how their own experiences are similar to those in the report. They then turn this into a speech and read it for a video recording that they are told will be shown to future students to help them transition to college. The intervention occurs in one 1-hour session.
EVALUATION OF PROGRAM
Evaluated population: Ninety-two students in the second semester of their freshman year in college participated in the study. Forty-three were European American, and 49 were African American.
Approach: Participants were randomly assigned to the intervention or a control condition. Data on GPA were collected from transcripts through three years after the intervention. At the three-year follow-up, data were collected on uncertainty about social belonging, self-reported health, doctor visits in the past 3 months, happiness, and how accessible negative racial stereotypes and self-doubt were in participants’ minds.
Results: GPA increased over time for African Americans in the intervention compared with African Americans in the control condition. There was no impact on GPA for European Americans. African Americans in the intervention reported greater decreases in belonging uncertainty, accessibility of negative racial stereotypes, and accessibility of self-doubt at the three-year follow-up compared with African Americans in the control condition. African Americans in the intervention had greater increases in self-reported health and happiness and fewer doctor visits compared with African Americans in the control condition. Impacts for these outcomes on European Americans were not found.

Keep Your Home Hay Fever Free
Helpful Tips For This Summer
Most of us are delighted to see the weather improving and the sun shining. However, there are many people across the country who suffer from allergies, and in particular hay fever. Over recent weeks there has been an increase in the pollen count and we want to help those who suffer from this allergy. Below, we provide some helpful tips that could ‘hay fever proof’ your home.
Windows
The first thing to do is remove the possibility for any outdoor pollen to enter your home. The easiest way for this is by keeping the windows in your home closed. People may feel the warmth at night and decide to open a window, but this may result in your allergies affecting your sleep.
Flooring
Hard wood floors may be more beneficial to those who suffer with allergies, as it is less likely to trap any dust or pollen. If your home is carpeted, it is recommended to vacuum and clean your carpet as frequently as possible.
Clean Your Home
This tip seems pretty straightforward as most of us prefer keeping our homes tidy. However, we want to make sure that you are doing so correctly. Especially during hay fever season, we recommend that you avoid using feather dusters as they just lift the dust particles into the air instead of cleaning them. Instead, we recommend using a damp cloth which will collect the particles and keep your home fresh.
Bedding
To help ensure that you get a good night sleep during hay fever season it is important to keep your bed sheets and pillows clean. Your hair is likely to trap pollen which may spread to your pillow cases, so we recommend washing or rinsing your hair before going to bed to help keep your room pollen free.
Keep Your Pets Clean
If you're a pet owner, it's worth knowing that every time they go outside they are likely to collect pollen from their fur. We recommend ensuring that your dog is bathed weekly and it is also important to brush them after every outdoor visit. It is also advised to keep them out of the bedroom, especially during the height of the hay fever months.
We hope these tips prove useful and help with your battle against pollen this summer. Not only do we provide useful information for our readers, but at Chill we provide great value home insurance. If you would like to talk to us about what policy suits your needs, you can give us a call on 1890 30 20 20.

Recently, I had the opportunity to enjoy a meal at Signatures in Ottawa. The Cordon Bleu Paris cooking school (as I understand it, the only location in North America) has moved to the former location of Le Cercle Universitaire, once a lavish private club. They have lovingly redecorated this beautiful old mansion, and have opened Signatures, which is a formal French restaurant in the traditional style. Two restauranteur friends were with us, and they agreed that the school's students will benefit immeasurably from the experience of working in a restaurant kitchen while they train. We unfortunately were rushed that evening, but this is a place that deserves to be the evening's event. The food and service were both splendid, from the scallop soup to the perfect rack of lamb, and sea bass en croute. My wife had roast veal, the whole of which was brought to the table and presented prior to her portion being expertly carved and returned under the requisite silver dome, along with the other mains. The wine list was a pleasant surprise, with excellent selections from around the world, and many wines in the $30-$40 range (although plenty of $300 bottles adorned the list as well). So many French restaurants ignore the world's bounty in favour of an all-Gaul wine list, that it was refreshing so see such open minds at work.
We ran out of time for dessert (on our way to Diana Krall at the NAC), but were favoured with plates of petits-fours that were garnished with elaborately beautiful sugar sculptures of flowers.
All in all, a beautiful experience that I am looking forward to repeating, albeit with more time to take it all in.

Isn’t that fun. We speak about the importance to transform for the digital industrial revolution. About how massively this revolution will be and how it will transform us. Claus Schwab from WEF speaks even about the fact that this industrial revolution will the the first which transform us human. Yet I’ve seen very few companies which took the change that serious to create a new LT position, the Chief Digital Officer.
Of course digital transformation is the task of each and everyone. Of course the CEO has to be the leader to enable the change. But if you are not as serious about this transformation as you are about your financials, how do you want to ensure that you will be successful across the whole organization.
The 4th industrial revolution will hit each and everyone in every organization. Either it will impact how you work, how you collaborate, how you enable your teams to work and operate as a network. Or it will hit you because your products, offerings will become obsolete due to technology or business model evolution. There is only one certainty. It will impact you if you want it or not.
So how do you ensure that you have full clarity on all changes this might bring? How do you ensure that every part of the business is becoming digital sensitive? How do you ensure that you fly the plane while you’re building a new one with new mindset, new culture, new products without having someone dedicated to it, someone dedicated at leadership team level with very close connection to the CEO and the board?
Depending on the size of your organization, most likely you won’t be able to if you don’t establish a new role, the role of the Chief Digital Officer, CDO, which only job is to enable the digital transformation across all parts of the organization.
I feel priviledged that in my current role I can follow my passion, enabling organizations and leaders to transform. Through this “job” I’m getting a lot of incredible insights from many executives. But one thing scares me at nearly every conversation. The GAP between what is happening and where companies and executives are. See also my previous blog.
So do you have an internal Chief Digital Officer? Do you ensure that every parts, every piece, every leader of the organization clearly understands the needs for change? Do you have someone which day to day job is solely to pave the road to change? If not, think about. Get in touch with me if you’d like to get my view on the profile, on the JD of such a CDO. I’d love to hear if you already have such a role in place and the experiences you gained with it.

Based on World Relief’s 40 years of experience with resettling refugees, the organization halts the process for all refugees on their way to the United States, from those applying (it usually takes at least 18 months) to those with plane tickets already, said Arbeiter. News reports Saturday indicated refugees and visa-holders restricted under the order were already being detained at airports.. “Today’s order.”
The Sunday following Trump’s order, leaders of eight evangelical organizations involved with the Evangelical Immigration Table released a letter to the president and vice president, saying, “While the US has…received only a fraction of 1 percent of the world’s refugees annually, we believe the refugee resettlement program provides a lifeline to these uniquely vulnerable individuals and a vital opportunity for our churches.” It was signed by representatives from Accord Network, the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, Korean Churches for Community Development, the National Association of Evangelicals, the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, The Wesleyan Church, World Relief, and World Vision., earlier in the week.. For the Muslim-majority countries where most refugees comes from, this would benefit Christians (and other minority faiths, like Yazidis) and penalize Muslims.
Trump told president of Christian Freedom International celebrated the decision. “The Trump administration has given hope to persecuted Christians that their cases will finally be considered,” said Jim Jacobson. order marks:
Prior to Paris, three-quarters of self-identified “committed Christians” in America said they were willing to help Syrian refugees, according to an Ipsos poll sponsored by World Vision. However, only 44 percent had already done so.
Of the one-quarter of committed Christians who were not willing to help, 34 percent said it was because they feared that refugees were potential terrorists, while 24 percent felt the problem was too big for them to make a difference.
…
LifeWay also found that only 1 in 3 evangelical pastors have addressed the refugee crisis from the pulpit. A prior survey found that only 2 percent of evangelicals get their information on international migration to America from their local church, while 12 percent cited the Bible. The two combined were fewer than those who rely on the media. “Most evangelical Christians are not thinking as Christians on the issue,” said Matthew Soerens, World Relief’s church training specialist. “Most see newcomers as a threat or a burden. Only 4 in 10 see a gospel opportunity.”
“We.”

The UK's biggest banks are making good progress rebuilding balances shattered during the economic shock of 2008, but might the next crisis be digital rather than financial?
According to KPMG's half-year Road to Recovery? What the Future Holds for UK Banks report, the country's biggest firms have dragged their economic model back into the black despite having to cope with unprecedented regulatory pressure.
That said, banks will probably never return to the sort of pre-2008 returns, and have to put up with returns of half or less than the gargantuan profits made during the good times. But to borrow a phrase from the report, is worrying about future the size or reserves and future profitability a case of banks fighting the wrong war?
"Traditionally, banks have been leaders in IT security, at the cutting edge of innovation, but their ability to combat future security threats is increasingly debatable. After years of improvement, UK banks suffered a 12% increase in online account fraud last year," said KPMG.
"Furthermore, the motivation for cyber assaults is shifting, from financial crime to political and ideological attacks, with the number of state-sponsored hacking and 'hacktivist' revenge incidents growing."
The authors sketch over which form of cyber-incident might constitute a serious shock for banks - a huge data breach or mega-DDoS? - but noted growing worries about the potential trouble that might lie ahead. It was only a small pull-out box in a much larger report but a number of commentators seized on it.
"KPMG is right to highlight the imminent cyber threat that is currently hanging over UK banks. This has been building over the past year and if financial institutions haven't already made security their top priority, they should do so immediately," said McAfee EMEA CTO, Raj Samani.
"Where Europe has been the primary target for financial fraud rings - such as Operation High Roller - in the past, McAfee's research has found thefts are spreading outside Europe, including the United States and South America."
Others have argued that by working on the assumption that an attack was bound to succeed eventually, banks might be less likely to experience it as a mortal shock.
"By accepting that it is a case of when, not if, a breach will occur, financial organisations can focus on protecting data at its core, rather than on layers of perimeter security which are no longer up to the job of offering adequate defence," said SafeNet vice president EMEA, Gary Clark.
At the very least, the growing threats from cyber-risk were likely to raise costs for the industry at a time of relative weakness, said Marc Lee of risk management firm, Courion.
"This regulatory burden can be eased by improving governance of access and identity risk. It is not enough for organisations to just develop external defences to protect against cyber-attacks - serious breaches have arisen in the past thanks to weak internal access management systems," he said.
In June, the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) published a report that worried about the potential of DDoS-led cyberattacks to 'down' a major securities exchange such as a stockmarket.
Perhaps the most concerning incident was the widely-ignored but still extraordinary heist last December in which a large number of cybercriminals co-ordinated at least $45 million of thefts from ATM machines in 27 countries. Although a small event in financial terms, the warning is clear. The criminals are now extremely organised, know which bits of the system to attack, and will almost certainly come back for a much large sum the next time.
The best defence? In the case of detecting an ATM attack of large enough scale, temporarily shutting down bank system across the world. In other words, pulling the plug.

Taking an Empathetic Approach to User Experience
The CEO of Story+Structure breaks down the importance of realizing that all businesses are essential in the people business.
As the founder of Story+Structure, CEO Chokdee Rutirasiri has been designing human-centered solutions for the private and public sectors since 1995. He's led projects resulting in new user experiences in higher education, human resources, publishing, manufacturing, health care and non-profits. Prior to founding Story+Structure, Rutirasiri held roles as a strategist, designer and developer for UMass Boston, MassArt and Worcester State College. He also spent some time on muni bond trading desks in Chicago and Boston. Rutirasiri took time to speak with CIO Insight on a variety of topics, including the elements of good design, empathy in a capitalist world and what it means to be a good host.
CIO Insight: You recently lead a discussion at the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium on taking an empathetic approach to the user experience. Can you expand a little on what that means and why it’s important to take this approach?
Chokdee Rutirasiri: Empathy is the key to opening up the wants, needs and behavior of what people are seeking in their experiences. Whether you’re a services company or a product company, at the end of the day you’re in the people business. Staff. Clients. Customers. Constituents. Stakeholders. Stockholders. All people. People are beautifully complex and ever evolving. What we say and what we do are often two different things. When you practice empathy, you begin to develop a deep understanding of those you’re serving. And with this understanding, you can be more intentional with your strategic decisions.
CIO Insight: You’re the CEO of Story+Structure, a design firm that puts a strong emphasis on human-centered design. How does this differ from other established approaches to the workplace specifically and technology in general?
Rutirasiri: Lots of times people try to solve a problem by throwing a piece of technology at it or designing for their preferences, ignoring the fact that they are not the end user. Then solutions end up being overly engineered or complicated, leading to poor user adoption. This is because you were addressing your own frustration, not your customer’s. A human-centered approach simply puts the human being right at the center of every question. What do you need? How does this make you feel? How might this solution help you reach your aspirations and goals? An empathetic approach is respectful and intentional.
CIO Insight: I understand designers Charles and Ray Eames were a big influence on you. How so?
Rutirasiri: Oh my, where does one even begin? What made the Eames Office a special shop was imagination. Charles, Ray and the whole shop looked at life in a different way.
The Top 3 lessons for me include:
1. Design flows from learning and knowing who you are serving.
This is fundamental to the iterative, rapid prototyping process at the core of human-centered design. You gather information about your target audience. You prototype solutions quickly and cheaply. You test it. You find out answers to some basic questions. You learn. You go back to the design and iterate. Repeat.
2. Design is about being a good host.
When you invite someone over for dinner, you usually clean your place, set the table, prepare delicious foods your guests would enjoy, offer a drink when they enter your home, catch up on life, and then sit down to eat at the proper time with more wine and banter. Your actions show thoughtfulness and intention. That is what good design is. Is it meeting basic needs? Is the experience enjoyable? Do I feel an emotional connection to the experience or the people involved?
3. Eventually, everything connects.
We live in an ecosystem. Everything eventually connects. Good design is about being mindful of that connection. It’s about thinking and being holistic in your approach to designing, developing and supporting solutions.
CIO Insight: Can their design philosophies be applied to IT and to, say, mobile app design?
Rutirasiri: Often times we look at things in a sort of myopic way. Let’s look at the “I” and the “T” here. Information is currency. It has been for a long time but now its value is more complex and meaningful. Technology continues to advance and connect all of us at such a crazy pace. To understand and leverage the true value of information and harness technology effectively, one must be able to understand the fundamentals of who you are serving, what it takes to be a good host, and how it all connects from online to mobile to real life. Personally I think we add “experience” to the IT: Information Technology Experience.
CIO Insight: Who has inspired your career and outlook that you’ve known personally?
Rutirasiri: Two people come to mind: my mother, Varunee Rutirasiri, and my Chief Design Officer, Shaun Gummere. My mother is a mixture of empathy, thoughtfulness and tenacity. Shaun taught me the fundamentals of good design and mindfulness as we look to solve problems through design. Shaun said ‘we need to treat one another online as we would in real life.’ He taught be about how to be intentional and respectful of the people we are designing for and those who need to support the solution.
CIO Insight: One of the job titles at your firm, aside from other traditionally named roles, is “Director of Client Happiness.” That may be the most intimidating job title in the world, as it seems to require being happy and making sure others are happy as well, which can be quite a challenge on both ends. Is the director entitled to occasionally having a bad day?
Rutirasiri: Ha! Kandace Gilligan is immune to having a bad day! When we created this position, we were trying to be mindful and thoughtful of our clients’ needs that extended beyond our project engagement. The success of our business is built upon the relationships we build with our clients and their needs as professionals and as a human being. It’s a good day when a client hugs you goodbye—which happens a lot these days.
CIO Insight: Kidding aside, in business, does being content and empathetic have to be mutually exclusive to staying competitive and growing revenue? There’s an eat-or-be-eaten mentality that often permeates tech and business in general. Does it have to be this way?
Rutirasiri: I grew up a Buddhist. I also have a business degree from Boston University. I always felt there was a place for compassion and empathy in a capitalist world. It’s about having the right intention. The world is quite large and there is plenty of business to go around. If you let capitalism define you, it could bring you down a less righteous and enjoyable path. But if you set out with the intention to “Do No Evil” like Google has tried, the world can and will look very different.
CIO Insight: There’s been a major shift over the last several years in how we work, where we work and how we collaborate with customers and colleagues. How does Story+Structure fit into this changing work dynamic?
Rutirasiri: For us, it’s about energy. Some folks on the team love the camaraderie we get from the physical office and being together, while others prefer the quietness and solitude of the road. Our goal as a firm is to provide folks with the most pleasant environment to be thoughtful and creative in. There are no set hours. We have an open vacation and sick time policy. Like with good design, our dynamic internally or client-facing is about being empathetic to one’s needs, being a good host and making sure we have connected all the dots respectfully.

Just in time for the festive holiday season, classic car sales seem to be having a jolly year, reportedly as the best performing alternative asset class in 2015 (even better than the S&P 500!). Before you tell your spouse you are buying a Ferrari with your 401K, though -do your research.
One of the key players on the collector car scene is Simon Kidston. The classic car broker and consultant has a client list that reads like a who’s who of classic car collectors. Born into that world, he went on to work for top auction houses like Brooks and Bonham’s. For him, starting his classic car index, K500, is a way to give enthusiasts an edge when buying a collector car.
The K500 Index draws its information from the sales results of over 30,000 public transactions for 500 valuable vintage models. Kidston says the index gives a better gauge of a car’s true value. It allows you to see how cars are really performing in the market. Kidston feels his index is the equivalent of Robert Parker's Independent Consumer Guide to Fine Wine or Michelin’s Red Book. He wants it to be your go-to resource guide for buying classic cars.
Kidston wants his index to bring better transparency to some of the misinformation and shady practices that he has witnessed over the years. The same car is often traded among different dealers to inflate the value, and some dealers try to pass cars off as similar, more valuable models. A car’s provenance is sometimes non-existent. Classic car buyers have to beware.
With all types of investors flooding the classic car market, it is difficult to determine a realistic value for any car. Indexes offer the consumer a chance to research a particular model first-hand. K500 offers a “collectability” rating as well as price guidelines. For example, on a scale of zero to 100, their top rated collectible car (at 97) is the Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic. Only two exist, one of which is currently owned by Ralph Lauren.
()
HAGI (Historic Automobile Group International) is an investment research group that specializes in the rare classic motorcar sector. They’ve determined that over the past five years, collector car values have risen 500%. Just this year a 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo sold for $275,000, up from $55,000. Some analysts worry that this type of appreciation is unsustainable and the bubble will burst.
()
As the value of classic cars soar, so does the number of forgeries flooding the market. Authenticating classic cars is not easy. Sophisticated crime rings go to elaborate measures to fool the automotive experts, like stripping old movie theater seats for worn leather or aging reproduced frames outside for years. Many times collectors have to prove their car is legit, which takes time, expertise and more money.
()
According to the Hagerty Market Rating scale of 0-100, classic car sales at auction have fallen slightly in the last month from 71.06 to 70.84. Several recent auctions had high priced cars left unsold. Kidston blames the auction houses for oversaturating the market at around the same time every year (usually September). Some of the most successful auctions are associated with well-attended collector events such as car shows.
If you are a first time classic car buyer, you have a ton of resources available to you to make a sound decision on what to buy. Do your homework, get the facts, and find reliable people to help you. Bottom line – buy a car you are passionate about. After all, this isn’t the stock market. (Stock shares don’t leak oil on your garage floor.) Your investment is one that will take you for the ride of your life -and isn’t that what it’s all about?
We’d like to take this opportunity to wish you and yours Happy Holidays! We're so glad to have you as clients and look forward to serving you in the New Year. May all your classic car wishes come true!

Jess and Karn are human sunshine. If you know them, I bet you’re nodding along as you read this. They radiate joy. So much so that as Jess’ bridesmaids came down the aisle, Karn went to pieces in a flood of happy tears just knowing Jess was around the corner. Their family and friends were treated to the most beeeeeautiful Sydney day, from champagne in the park post-ceremony to watching the sunset from Catalina where the rosé was flowing to espresso martinis on a packed dancefloor past midnight. On the way to Catalina for their reception, Karn said the day was going way too fast and that no matter what he did he couldn’t make it slow down. ‘That’s okay’ I told him ‘I have these two black boxes full of memories to give back to you soon’.
Jess and Karn are now expert level bride and groom, ready to rock wedding #2 in India early next year. As promised, here is the tiniest tip of the iceberg of memories of their wedding day.: Willow + Bear
Hair: Julia Hommard
Makeup: Gina Cartwright
Jess’ Gown: Sarah Seven from The Bridal Atelier
Karn’s Suit: Woolcott St.
Celebrant: Celebrant Genevieve
Reception: Catalina Rose Bay
Entertainment – Ceremony: Asahi May | Reception: Glenn Whitehall
I keep coming back to look at these photos so I can relive the day mentally. You captured the day so perfectly, I really can’t thank you enough xx

BOSTON, May 04, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LogMeIn, Inc.’s (NASDAQ:LOGM) Xively IoT division today released the next-generation of the Xively Connected Product Management (CPM) Platform. Building on its proven track record of helping companies successfully navigate the IoT, the new version of Xively provides a complete application suite that addresses the core needs of running an IoT business. This release adds new connected product analytics and insight tools, universal device and user management, and richer integration capabilities including out-of-the-box Salesforce integration. Purpose-built to address key challenges in building and launching a connected product business, the new Xively helps companies accelerate their IoT initiatives -- effectively eliminating the need for costly and risky do-it-yourself IoT projects.
“At the outset of our IoT journey, we were determined to build our solution from the ground-up, but as time went on we realized we should leverage the expertise of others and use our limited time to focus on delivering the most value to our customers,” said Kyle Seaman, Director of Farm Technology at Freight Farms. “Xively offered a proven platform, IoT expertise, and the ability to deliver quickly. In just 60 days, we went from concept to field-ready product.”
Xively is the fastest and most scalable IoT platform on the market today1. With security built for the IoT, Xively helps product companies connect and manage their products at scale. The latest version of Xively contains a number of enhancements aimed at providing customers a much quicker time to market and actionable insights for superior product and customer support including:
- Connected Product Application Suite – A unified system of record that provides a real-time view of connected products in market including product details, trend data, product health, connectivity status, device location, firmware versions, and events associated with the product.

with everything an organization needs to get products to market faster, make the product data actionable across the company and future-proof the IoT investment in a single platform.”
“The IoT platform marketplace is noisy and extremely muddled, leaving companies uncertain on where to turn for help,” said Eugene Signorini, Senior Analyst, ESG. “Organizations would much rather identify the innovation opportunities and business value that IoT solutions can bring, rather than sorting out complex technology. Ultimately, companies will turn to vendor partners who make it easy for them to focus on product innovation by leveraging out-of-the box capabilities like those offered by Xively.”

HE does not strike you as desperate. At least that is the general impression of the man. He is also has control over his emotions as he rarely betrays anxiety.
But more than that he has patience—one quality that is in short supply among young men of his age.
A discussion once came up somewhere in Lagos and the topic was Anambra State. Immediately the issue of performance was brought up almost everybody agreed that Governor Obi has done well for the State. Those who disagreed, cited his austere approach to governance as discomforting. When reminded that it was the only way the State could record meaningful achievements without borrowing a dime, they grudgingly conceded.
But it was the issue of the man’s political future that generated greater controversy. Since the governor’s public disavowal of contesting for either a senatorial seat or going for ministerial appointment, folks are confused as to what he intends to do soon after his office expires in March of next year.
Those who think he deserved higher political office because of his impressive performance in the State far outweighed others not as impressed.
Many think he is the best leg forward for the Igbo nation should the issue of President of Igbo extraction arises. For some , the position of the vice president is not a bad idea.
Those who think this way believe that in the event of President Goodluck Jonathan’s completing his tenure, first or second, Mr. Obi can easily pair with a Northerner. The argument goes thus: Unlike any other person who may wish to contest such with him, Obi has a thousand and one qualities to his credit.
He is young, hardworking, patient, listens, cannot be stampeded into disavowing himself or those of his people, wealthy, has built bridges across the nation within so short a time, trustworthy, discreet, etc. Obi, unlike most politicians is a very patient person.
One of the discussants said emphatically that Obi stands a better chance to clinch either the vice presidential ticket or that of the President for obvious reasons.
Obi, he believes, can pair with anybody as a Vice without giving the person reasons to doubt his loyalty and or competence. For the presidency, Obi, he observed, is the only governor from the zone who understands the meaning of governance and the aspiration of the average Igbo man.
You don’t send a person who does not understand the nuances of regional politics in the country. Or even if the person understands, will be indifferent to it – or because of personal interest will most willingly relegate it.
He thinks Obi can serve both the nation and his people well without necessarily compromising either. He will not fight the cause of his people with rabid fanaticism but will still achieve the set target. Obi is so well disposed for higher assignment, that even if Ndigbo sends him forth he will discharge the duty of the office so well to their approval and that of the comfort of other Nigerians.
He cited instances of how his leadership of the Southeast Governors’ Forum has made concerted efforts to improve on infrastructural development of the zone without necessarily drenching that in the toga of ethnicity. How he has importunated the Presidency for a second Niger Bridge, an International Airport, a federal university for Ebonyi state, rehabilitation of all federal roads in the South-East zone, etc.
For now, except, perhaps he decides to going back to his business when he is through with governance in Anambra State, Obi remains a force to be reckoned with in the people’s march for a rewarding federal assignment. What is more endearing about the man is his consistency Do you know for how long he bore the burden of being in APGA?
Lesser mortals would long have dumped it for wider political association elsewhere. If you are in doubt, look around you and experience carpet crossing at its despicable height.
Mr. ORAKWUE CHIKELUE, a public affairs commentator, wrote from Abagana, Abia State

5 Updated Basics to Add to Your Wardrobe
You don't need to read another magazine article telling you how much you need a great pair of jeans or black pumps. You probably didn't even need to read one in the first place -- those pieces are obvious MVPs in your wardrobe lineup.
At this stage in your life, you've probably found your fave basics that work best for you. But lately, I've been realizing how much use I get out of my basics-with-a-twist: classic pieces with a chic update. A cool neckline or hemline on an otherwise blank canvas item can make an outfit.
That's why I've chosen five pieces that are updated versions of classic basics, that I consider to be the musts for 2016. Read on for my picks.
1. White tie blouse
Your white button-down is amazing for layering and for wearing to every job interview you've ever had. A bow blouse version is an amazing step up, and you can wear it in all the same ways. Plus, you can experiment with tying the neck in different size loops, or wear the ties undone for a more relaxed vibe.
A bow looks so chic poking out from under coats, jackets, and pullover sweaters alike. This top is a statement-maker on its own with black pants and pumps, and it adds polish to a floral skirt. You could even throw a sleeveless dress on over it. Basically (no pun intended), the possibilities are endless.
2. Undone hem jeans
Cropped, raw-hem jeans are a big trend this fall (and one which you can even DIY). They look so cool when paired with a high heel or any sort of statement shoe. The relaxed, unfinished vibe creates eye-catching contrast with all of your more polished pieces.
Wear these babies anywhere you would wear your current favorite jeans! They're cropped, so it's better to rock them before it gets too cold (but they do also look great with warm socks and ankle booties). Tuck in a white top like the one above, add killer footwear, and you have yourself an incredible street style look.
3. Black ankle-strap heels
I have sung the praises of ankle-strap heels on CF before. A classic black pair is a more high-fashion version of a basic black pump.
Ankle strap heels look great with almost any length skirt or dress, and especially awesome with cropped pants. And for cold weather, don't be afraid to pair them with chunky socks for quirky, high-fashion look.
4. Menswear pattern blazer
Your black blazer is an outfit finisher, but a perfect-fitting menswear-esque blazer (in houndstooth, plaid, gingham, or tweed) is an outfit maker. I always feel so chic and polished in a great blazer, even if it's just paired with jeans.
A jacket like this can be the star of a look on its own, but is also amazing when mixed with other patterns like leopard, brocade, or floral. Talk about luxe.
5. Chain necklace
Necklace: Forever 21.
A chain necklace, be it layered like the one above or a single, thick chain, is a go-with-everything piece of jewelry that makes a look instantly more dynamic and modern. Don't get me wrong, I still love dainty, personal jewelry. But I also think a chain statement necklace is usually the answer when I feel like a look needs a little something extra.
You could build a whole edgy outfit around your strands, or add a thick chain to an otherwise girly or classic look for something unexpected. Chain necklaces look just as great with a crew neck tee as they do a plunging-neckline gown.
What do you think?
What pieces in your closet do you consider updated basics? Do you love these five styles? How do you make a classic outfit look a little more trendy? Let me know in the comments!

Code School is an awesome option for teachers looking to offer a flipped or blended programming classroom, either as part of a computer science course or integrated into science or math (or anywhere else). Students can easily work through lessons at their own pace and on their own computer at home. Skipping videos if they're already somewhat proficient or taking their time if they need more structure makes for easy, student-driven differentiation. This could free up class time for collaborative work on larger projects or give teachers the freedom to provide one-on-one instruction as needed. There's no teacher dashboard to manage classes, so you'll have to get creative with assessment to keep track of individual student progress.
Another awesome option could be to include Code School as a choice for kids who want to learn programming skills but don't have time in their class schedules, as a piece of an after-school program on computer science or as an alternative to an internship or job-practice program for kids with busier lives.Continue reading Show less
Code School is exactly what its name implies: a large set of interactive online lessons that teach users how to code. Using a smart combination of live lecture videos, informative slide decks, and interactive practice, learners can work through dozens of courses. Students can explore web markup, databases, and programming languages (such as HTML/CSS, Ruby, SQL, and JavaScript), get their hands dirty with Python, build iOS apps with Swift, Objective-C, and Google Maps, or learn about other useful development technologies (such as Git, R, Chrome DevTools, and Regular Expressions).
Users begin by watching amusing themed videos with expert lecturers and clear visuals, answer a few multiple-choice questions, and then get started right away on coding challenges. Each challenge gives step-by-step tasks, which users program in an online development environment. During the process, a real-time interpreter displays results of code immediately. For extra help, students can jump back and forth between slides, videos, and the coding environment as needed.
Code School's videos are excellent and well-paced, with visuals and examples that give students immediate familiarity with the concepts. A quick review quiz after each lesson emphasizes key concepts to ensure learners are ready to move on to practice. The real strength of the experience lies in the practice challenges –- there's really no better way to learn programming than with hands-on tasks, which here are broken down into sensible pieces that reflect what each chunk of code is intended to accomplish.
Being able to see the results of work in real time allows users to see, down to the character, what their code actually does (or fails to do). It also allows flipping back and forth between lessons and practice, which means fewer web searches for help when inevitable confusion occurs. There are also various screencasts to extend learning beyond lessons and a robust community forum for peer-to-peer support.

As stewards of Mack Laing Park in Comox, the Mack Laing Heritage Society (MLHS) has embarked on the long overdue job of removing invasive plant species within the park boundaries.
Currently working in the area immediately around Mack Laing’s former home of Shakesides, in cooperation with the Town of Comox Parks Department, the MLHS to date has contributed over 40 volunteer hours of labour to remove English ivy, Himalayan blackberry, lamium and holly. An estimated two dump truck loads of material has been extracted.
In the process of clearing the invasives, the group has uncovered some unusual “artifacts”, including a rototiller, a metal trailer, a plastic kayak, yards of plastic drain pipe, ropes, an iron axe head, bee hives and circular saw blades.
The MLHS welcomes public involvement in the invasives removal project and invites those interested to assist them on Wednesday afternoons, weather permitting. Please wear tough clothing and rubber boots, and bring heavy duty gardening gloves and pruning shears.
For more information, please email [email protected].

Edible Arrangements / Horrendous customer service
My boyfriend decided to surprise me with one of edible arrangements bouquets for valentine's day. He pre-ordered, and when he went to the store to pick it up, the customer service representatives could not find his order. After keeping him waiting for twenty minutes, they went into the back and the owner then accused him of already picking up his order and attempting to get another one for free. Despite having no proof to substantiate such an accusation and his insistence that he did not already pick it up, the owner of the store rudely insisted that he did. Disgusted, mauricio angrily told the owner that he wanted to cancel the order and was told that the order could not be canceled because it was already made, and a bouquet was practically thrown at him "just to get [him] out of [there] . "
This was the fourth or fifth bouquet that mauricio has bought for me, and we have been consistently delighted with the products. I have glowingly recommended the service to friends, family and coworkers. I sincerely regret doing so, as I would hate to think that anyone else may receive the same kind of treatment that my boyfriend did. Needless to say, they not only lost us as customers, but I will now tell every single person I associate with about our experience, and that my boyfriends integrity was questioned so he could be accused of trying to steal from the store and was treated appallingly.

Sloe
Blackthorn or Sloe, (Prunus spinosa) is a species of Prunus native to Europe, western Asia, and locally in northwest Africa. They are thin-fleshed, with a very strongly astringent flavour when fresh. They are the ancient ancestor of all types of plum, but their legendary sourness makes them difficult to cook with.
Sloe or blackthorn is a deciduous large shrub or small tree growing to 5 m tall, with blackish bark and dense, stiff, spiny branches. The fruit, called a "sloe" is a drupe 10–12 mm diameter, black with a pale purple-blue waxy bloom, ripening in autumn, and harvested in October or November - usually after the first frosts. Frost and late harvesting help reduce the worst elements of the flavour. Shrivelling berries are too late to use for food. Freezing the berries after picking doesn't have the same result as frost when on the plant.
The fruit is similar to a small damson or plum, suitable for preserves, but too tart and astringent for eating, unless deeply frozen, as is practised in eastern Europe.
Processing
In rural Britain so called sloe gin is made from them, though this is not a true gin but an infusion of vodka, gin, or neutral spirits with the fruit to produce a liqueur. The bottle is packed with whole sloes and the alcohol added. If the sloes are hard they need to be pricked, but this produces a cloudy drink. Sugar must be added.
In Navarre, Spain, a popular liqueur called patxaran is made with sloes.
Sloes used for alcohol can then be reused for jam or chocolate.
Jam
Process as usual, adding pectin or some pectin-rich fruit.
Pie filling
Sloe works well in pies, but needs to be limited to around 10% of the fruit content. A pie with just sloes would be unpalatable. 9 parts apple to 1 part sloe works well. A lot of sweetener is required.
Relish
Preserved in vinegar, they are similar in taste to Japanese umeboshi. Vinegar may be mixed into sloe puree with some sweetening; all types of vinegar produce a good result.
Mustard
50/50 sweetened sloe puree and strong English mustard make a nice sour pink mustard.
Curry
Madras curry spices and an equal amount of sloe puree make a nice curry paste. Ensure enough sweetness is added, in the form of sugar, sweetener or fruit.
Chocolate
Alcohol soaked sloes are often broken up and used in chocolate. It keeps well due to the alcohol.
Other uses
Sloes are useful in photography. Give a child a raw sloe, have a camera ready, and catch the grimaces of horror and complete disgust.
Sloes dye without need for a mordant. The colour produced is a rich magenta-pink, which fades to a permanent light blue.
Cleaning
Sloe is prone to staining some cookware & tableware. Persisting stains can be removed from ceramics and plastics with fuming hydrochloric acid. This is vicious stuff though, time will tell if there are less antisocial cleaners that also work. (Fuming HCl eats through flesh, and should not be handled by anyone not suitably skilled and prepared.)

This week, we have lots of pragmatic advice for you on how to be a happier, more productive person.
Because you’re good enough, you’re smart enough, and gosh darn it, this joke has now been permanently rendered un-funny.
On Monday, Morgan Dix (he happens to be one of our Certified Content Marketers) revealed what meditation can do for your creativity and focus. I’ve been a meditator for many years, and I really enjoyed this post — I think you will, too.
On Tuesday, our VP of Operations, Kim Clark, shared some of her favorite tips for getting more out of working from home. Because some days are great … and some days you really wish you had found those 10 minutes to take a shower.
On Wednesday, I wrote about confidence and the ongoing work of reinventing ourselves. The key to gaining more confidence isn’t some kind of self-help affirmation — it’s something much more fundamental. It all comes down to Moscow, Napoleon Dynamite, and disturbances in the Force — and a fairly simple mindset shift that could actually change your life.
And if you’ve had starting a membership site or online course as one of your goals, you might want to check out our newest StudioPress premium theme for WordPress — AcademyPro.
AcademyPro is designed specifically for education sites, and offers great-looking styles for your lesson plans, course topics, and educational goals. The StudioPress team has optimized the theme to provide a great user experience for both your learners and your potential customers.
Over on Copyblogger FM, I suggested some things you can think about now to create a fantastic 2018. No goal-setting or annoying homework, just some creative noodling you can do to start to move in productive new directions.
And on Unemployable, Brian Clark talked with the bootstrap founder of FreshBooks about a topic dear to my heart — how to charge what you’re really worth.
Enjoy the content, and we’ll catch you next week!

Spring primary set for Coshocton
COSHOCTON – The spring primary will feature two levies and no competitive races in Coshocton County.
According to the Coshocton County Board of Elections, county voters will once again decide on a 5-year, 1-mill levy for capital improvements at the Coshocton County Career Center. It's the third time the career center is trying for the levy estimated to raise $865,661 annually.
The city is making its first go at a.
For city offices, all incumbents are seeking re-election without opposition. This includes Mayor Steve Mercer, Law Director Robert Skelton, Auditor Sherry Kirkpatrick, Council President Cliff Biggers and council members Bob Fetters, Jim Baker, Jackie Salmans, Brad Fuller, Glenn Mishler, Tom Grier and Bob Pell. However, Fetters, a Democrat, will face a challenge in the fall general election for the 1st ward council seat from Republican Steven Williams.
The deadline to file for the May 5 primary was Wednesday. Independent and write-in candidates can still file to run in the fall general election.

Join us for a seven day painting intensive with artist Amanda Sage at CoSM, Alex & Allyson Greys art sanctuary just one hour north of New York City.
The time has come to take things to the next level. This workshop is for those of you who want to dive deep. It doesn’t mean you have to be a professional or already proficient in the Mischtechnik, but if you are this will be an opportunity to expand understanding within the approach.
The ‘Mischtechnik’, translated simply to ‘Mixed Technique’, originates with the Van Eyck brothers in the early renaissance and was revived by the Austrian painter Ernst Fuchs in the 1950’s. It was originally taught to me by Michael Fuchs and Philip Rubinov-Jacobson through workshops and independent study, which led to 10 years as a painting assistant to Ernst Fuchs himself. Fundamentals of the Mischtechnik has been adopted by many painters working with fantastic and visionary subject matter, as the transparencies and use of light in developing a painting are exquisite.
Traditionally one uses white egg tempera to build up volume on a dark ground, then glazing in thin layers of oil. There are many contemporary variations of the Mischtechnik, and the wisdom and genius behind the layers has much to reveal. During the intensive we will explore various uses and examples of materials through presentations and hands on experience, as well as creating a painting using basic concepts of the Mischtechnik.
A variety of approaches will be visited as grasping the diversity of application is sometimes the most baffling. Exploring the possibilities through basic framework allows us to help define our own path, as each of us is unique in our expression. Participants will be welcomed to work in oil or acrylic or both.
During the past 7 years of teaching I have done my best to straddle the vast landscape of beginners and advanced artists in my workshops. I find the alchemy of individuals in all levels of their experience to be incredibly enhancing to everyone. For what happens in these intensive environments transcends all degrees of separation as we adventure through the non-linear experience of arting…
We will take at least one painting from start to finish through the guidance of demonstrations, presentations, one on one instruction and open studio time. You will also be invited to bring a couple current pieces that you are working on and are looking for guidance with. Often the setting of the group offers a wide spectrum of experts and support, as we all end up learning from each other.
This being said, YOU are invited to participate, no matter your ‘experience’ level in paint. Although you shall be dutifully warned that we are going to go deeper then your threshold may register. I only state this in necessity, as I do not want to promise integration of all of the information. Through experience, the process of understanding the subtleties of the Mischtechnik, let alone control of pigment and brush, are forthcoming… sometimes taking years..
If participating in the Painting with Light Master Class, we are asking that upon registering, you submit a short email stating your intention, and briefly state your background in art, as well as some images your best and most recent your work. You will then receive a more detailed description of the Workshop program and materials list. The registration link is live, so you can register and reserve your space now. This class is for intermediate to advanced students.

Additionally, Dr. Platis and his staff are so kind and thoughtful. They make you feel like family and not just another patient. I wouldn’t go to anyone else but Dr. Platis.” -Sara

Outrageous Abuses Reported at Hawaii Prison
HONOLULU (CN) – A male prison warden filmed his “public sexual shamings” in which female inmates had to disclose their “rape, childhood sexual abuse … sexual preferences [and] sexual deviations,” while he called them “whores” in front of male inmates, a woman claims in a federal class action.
Alexandria Gregg sued Hawaii’s Department of Public Safety, its director Ted Sakai, and the allegedly abusive warden of the Kauai Community Correctional Center, Neal Wagatsuma.
“Defendant Wagatsuma’s public sexual shamings of female detainees at KCCC involved a myriad of improper, intolerable, and illegal acts,” Gregg says in the lawsuit. “For example, defendant Wagatsuma belittled and derided female detainees in front of other male detainees and required the female detainees to hold up provocative, sexual photographs of themselves as he called them ‘whores.’
“During these public sessions, defendant Wagatsuma would demand that female detainees disclose their private sexual histories, which included rape, childhood sexual abuse, and drug-induced sex. Defendant Wagatsuma would go further and extensively question the female detainees about their sexual histories, sexual preferences, sexual deviations, and sexual pleasures. For example, female detainees were asked about what they thought about when they masturbated.
“Defendant Wagatsuma would often film these public sexual shamings. Typically, the detainees selected for filming were young attractive women.
“If a detainee refused to follow defendant Wagatsuma’s order to degrade themselves sexually, he would deem the detainee uncooperative. Defendant Wagatsuma retaliated against these ‘uncooperative’ detainees by sending them back to the more restrictive and punitive KCCC modules, transfer them to another correctional facility, or withhold privileges.”
Gregg claims that in the 6 months she was incarcerated at KCCC she and other women endured numerous “public shamings” in front of male detainees, for up to 45 minutes at a time.
Wagatsuma called her a “whore” and a “batuna,” a slang word for a woman who trades sex for drugs, Gregg says in the lawsuit.
The complaint adds: “Defendant Wagatsuma would also force female detainees to write and submit detailed descriptions of traumatic sexual and physical molestations endured in childhood or adolescence. These intimate sexual disclosures were then posted in an open book for other detainees and DPS employees to read.”
The 28-page lawsuit alleges a string of nauseating abuses. For instance: “Defendant Wagatsuma’s public exhibitions and sexual humiliations of female detainees also involved the screening of a twenty minute film that depicted the rape of a young adolescent female. The film appeared realistic and included graphic, violent images of the young female screaming as she was raped. This film screening traumatized plaintiff and the other class member female detainees.”
Gregg was released for a 3 months, and was sent back to KCCC while she was pregnant and gave birth while incarcerated there.
She claims the warden then targeted her again. She says when she asked him to return the videotapes of her sexual statements, he claimed they had been destroyed.
And: “When defendant Wagatsuma learned that plaintiff contracted mastitis and stopped pumping breast milk, he had plaintiff immediately moved back to the harsher conditions of KCCC’s module units.”
Gregg claims Watsugama is still employed and believes he is currently retaliating against employees and detainees in response to their complaints.
She seeks class certification, declaratory judgment, an injunction and punitive damages for cruel and unusual punishment, sexual abuse, other constitutional violations, civil rights violations, privacy invasion and reckless indifference.
She is represented by Margery Bronster of Bronster Hoshibata.

Adobe Illustrator CC: Vector Art Using Adobe Stock
Lesson 4 of 8
Greeting Card Set
Lesson Info
Greeting Card Set
Here it is, Illustrator file. It's artwork that I've downloaded before, and I could take this content right here, and I could go back into my file, any one of my files that I was working with, and go back in, and let me get back to you by (chuckles) the one that I had. I can't remember the name of it there. Come on. There's a, well, there's another one that we did for downloads as well, different images. I need to remember the name. That's one of the problems with downloading all of this content with all of these file names is that I can never remember which one is which. There's another nice stock. If I had my birthday, I copied it, I could paste this in here, there it is, I can copy this whole content right there. Go back to my image that I wanna paste it into, there it is, scale that in, put this into my file someplace, however I wanna do this. Place that in there and begin to work with my content. Now, all this content here is very well-built content. I'm gonna call it my Layers pa...
nel because a lot of these things are gonna be done in layers. And if you've worked with Illustrator before, everything gets really, really tricky, and the great thing that I like about Adobe Stock is the stuff is really well put together. So there's a lot of elements in this little birthday card right here, but when I go in my Layers panel, it looks like everything is nicely grouped together. So I've got by banner and I've got my little doily and my cupcake, and my background, it's all done. It's kind of hard to see in the Layers panel, so when I go to the Layers panel, I'm gonna click on the cheese grater, yes, that's what it's called, that's what I call it. I'm gonna go down to the bottom of my panel options and I'm going to make my thumbnails much larger so I can see the thumbnails a lot better here. And so now I can see all of my content. What's great with this is now I can, if I wanna create several different ones, I can have a common theme like this background right here. I could actually take this and I could create other elements but I could now go in and I could lock the background, and I could select all my other content here, and I could simply move this down if I'd like to reposition this to be able to work with this a little bit better. So, nicely set up file-wise, when you create this yourself, not everybody does an awesome job at putting it together. But because I've got this stock layout, it's gonna make it that much nicer. It's already done very nicely, so each and every element's its own separate component. Maybe I wanna use this for something else. I can, I just simply take this, select the whole thing, copy it, paste it, or I could just take this element alone and drag it right into my library. It doesn't have to be the entire file. That's the great part. And it's like, well that could be cool, maybe I could use this theme. So if I select this and drag it into my library right there, there it is, there's my artwork. And it's like, wow, okay, that was awesome, wasn't it? Yeah, it is. So I've also got my little cupcake and I can begin to work with my files. Now as I go through this, if I would like to have reoccurring themes and elements here, I'm gonna have to get my Layers panel out of the way 'cause it takes up a lot of space, I can set up multiple different setups in my document. Artboards is what they're called. So I'm gonna click on my artboard tool, and I get my artboard, and I'm gonna duplicate my artboard by holding down my option key. I'm gonna Option + Click and drag, and get an artboard right there with all of its content. And now I can go through and I can change the elements of this artboard. It's gonna copy absolutely everything on here, it's no longer a birthday here, it's an anniversary, so I no longer need the cupcake, but I kind of like this style that I have right here for this card. Now, as I go through and I duplicate my artboards, it's always gonna copy all the items on there. But as I go through, I realize that I may wanna change the elements, change the colors, change the attributes as I go, so instead of having each as a separate Illustrator file, I'm gonna do separate artboards that I can then tweak and kind of keep the same theme. So I've got my artboard duplicated, and I'm ready to work with this, but in this case I'd like to change the colors of the background. Well, if I go into my Layers panel, and I see what's going inside my Layers panel, and that's locked right there, and I go through and I select my element right there, let's unlock it, there we go, there's the group. I realize when I get in here, it's like, wow, there's a lot of colors here, and it's like, gosh, how do I go in and select those colors, do I pull it all apart, do I open up the group, and you know, and then it becomes this huge mess, oh my gosh there's a gradient in there. And it's like, oh I didn't realize that there was kind of a radial gradient, it's like, well that's cool. But how do I change the whole thing? Well, we're gonna keep it simple, okay? Because the number one thing when you go in to change the artwork is if you're not really savvy with Illustrator, it could become a quite harrowing experience. So we're gonna show you some tricks that are gonna make this really nice. I just wanna change the background here. I like the background. Sure, I could rotate it, I could stretch it and change it. But I just wanna change the colors. I don't know the colors very well, I can't get into this file very well, I just wanna keep it nice and simple. So I'm just gonna go in and I'm gonna select the entire group. Sometimes I can't select the entire group very easily, but there are times when I can go into my Illustrator file, click on that layer, and I could click on that little circle right there, which will activate everything right there. Sometimes it's hard to select, so people move stuff out of the way, turn stuff off and lock things. Don't have to; multiple different ways we can go through this file. Because this is a well-built file, I have the ability to go in, click right on that and activate this. Now, I wanna go in and I wanna change the colors, and I wanna see the color changes. So I'm not gonna go in, I'm gonna go, I wanna go in and I wanna get my control bar back, for some reason it disappeared. So I can't go in and just use my color palette here because all this is selected, so I don't wanna see all of that. I just wanna go in and I wanna be able to go in and select my content and be able to get in and hide my edges here. I'm hiding the edges so that the object is selected but with all my edges showing right here, I'm just doing this for the particular video here. It's hard to see, when I change the color, what it's gonna look like with all these blue lines, okay? So what I'm doing under the View menu here is I'm actually hiding the edges. So it's kind of freaky because it is selected, you just don't see it, okay, so when people watch the video they're like why is that not selected? It is. But I wanna show you how we can change the color without having all those container edges there. It is selected, by the way, because I have it selected. So I'm gonna use one of the basic principles of Illustrator here that works great, called Recolor Artwork. And this is gonna allow me to go under the Edit menu, and I can choose Edit Colors, and I'm gonna recolor the artwork that I have selected. This allows me to go through and very easily change the color of this object or the set of objects here without specifically breaking it apart using the fill, the stroke, the gradient, all that other stuff, and individually target those particular elements. So, edit, edit colors, recolor artwork. As I go through, here are the basic colors that are being used. I'm gonna click on the edit here. I'm gonna go into my color wheel so we can see what's going on. These are the three colors in my color panel that I'm using right here, kind of the taupe, the green or the mint, and then the pink. And here they are in the color wheel. I could take any one of these colors and I could slide them around, and I could see the instantaneous results of what happens wherever that color's used, okay? I can target that, I can change that, change the hues, change the shades, change the saturation, and I can change how dark it is overall, how light it is overall, if I like to get more toward the cooler colors, I can drag those all over there to the cool colors and change that just like so. Without having to go in and target anything, it's just really simple and easy to see, and see how that works, you just grab that. That's my yellow, I'm gonna make it orange. There it is. If I want my pink to be a little bit more orange, there it is, and I want my highlights to be a little more yellow, green, orange, purple, blue, whatever it may be, awesome. There's my recolored artwork. Simple, didn't have to mess with a single thing, but it's really nice to know that right there. There it is, click okay, click off my object there, now I can go through all of my content here, I could go through my group here that I have selected, you don't see it selected 'cause I have my edges turned off, I have the edges, you can see it right there. Really quick and easy way to just globally change the colors without specifically targeting all those elements. Now if I wanted to do something different with this, I could do a search in my Adobe Stock for different types of calligraphy which I had done, because I have an anniversary one here, and I can either double-click and open this in Illustrator like so and copy it over. There's my box in there so I could copy it over here, and then I could go back to my file and I could paste it right in, and I could take that content, and I would probably want to put it on its own layer, there it is as a group, great. And I can take this, wanna show my bounding box right there so I can actually get my pull handles, there we go, take that as well. And I can change the color of that, I've got my fill so I can go in, and I can change that color if I'd like, to any different color that I have. Place it right in there, wonderful. All from Adobe Stock. Beautiful, works absolutely great. Now, I do have other content here, so I've got another one for Save the Date, and instead of double-clicking on the file and opening up in Illustrator, I can actually just drag it right from here and then simply place it in my file. And it kind of places it as a graphic right here, so it's not editable in Illustrator per se, still an Illustrator file, but it's now a placed file in my Illustrator file right here. So if I don't intend to go in here and edit this and make many manipulations, dragging it in is placing a file. Just like you would place a file in InDesign, this is a placed file. But if I did go in and edit it, I have complete control over that by going and double-clicking on this and being able to select everything, going back into my existing file, and being able to paste that right in and work with that. Now, the calligraphy is really great because we could use fonts on anything, but in a lot of cases like this where we have multiple different artboards for different purposes and different cards, I may wanna go in and may wanna do a little bit more fun with the type than what I've normally done. I'm gonna duplicate this artboard by clicking on the artboard tool, Option + Click and drag to get a different artboard here, and now I'm going to revamp this a little bit, and I'm going to take off some of the content, and I can change the colored background here really quick, 'cause I can go in and that's not the right one right there, that's the one right there, great, I'm gonna activate all of that. And I see all of my lines right here, so I'm just gonna turn off my Hide Edges for now. I'm gonna recolor my artwork. By the way, the shortcut for recolor artwork is this little pinwheel right here in the control bar. Okay, right there. Same thing as going under Edit, Edit Colors, Recolor. You can do it either way. I'm gonna go back to Edit here, and I'm gonna do one different thing with this that I didn't do last time. Before, I just moved them all around separately. If I like the parameters that I have here with what I call analogous colors, you know, they're gonna be pretty much in the same range, I could block these all together so that when I move these they're all gonna stay in that same basic range, okay? So if I wanna get to the yellow right there. If you wanna become totally adventurous with color, where's what you can do. It's actually really easy. These are the three colors that started with my artwork. I've kept them all together here. If I wanna branch out, I can go to the end right here, and I can choose different color harmonies. Now, the color harmonies are based on the main dot that I have selected here, and the main dot just simply becomes the one that I click on. That color dot becomes the primary color in which the color harmony is based on. So if I choose the yellow-green or the peach, or the tan, and I go through and I say okay, I'd like a color harmony based on this, it's going to take that color here when I click on that, and it's gonna use that as the color harmony. And I can say you know what, I'd like to go ahead and get kind of a different set of colors here. If I do a split complement, it'll go in and break these apart, 'cause maybe you're just not finding the right colors and you'd like a little bit of help. It can get crazy quick, but you can go through and say you know what, no, I want a different color here, and I wanna assign that color, and I'm getting kinda crazy. I can unlock these, move them around, I can change that to get some interesting effects. So a lot of things that you can do just with color. You see how easy this is? I didn't have to go in, pull anything apart, dig it all, not a problem. But I wanna do something fun with the save the date, 'cause I've got this, I've put it in here, and I wanna do a little bit of fun stuff with this. Now, I'm gonna go into preview mode, which is under the view menu here, I'm just gonna go into Outline. And I'm just gonna show you what this looks like. So I'm gonna zoom in here, and this is all a nicely done shape. It's not a whole bunch of different shapes and overlapping things, just really simple, nice, clean, well-done artwork. So I could go in and I could apply a fill and or a stroke or other elements to this that could make this look kinda cool. So I'm gonna go back into my preview here, go back into preview, which is right there, and I'd like to go ahead and and experiment with some colors here and some other different styles with this vector stock artwork. Okay, this is fine, but it's black. It's like, yeah, I could change the color. What else could I do with it? Well, I could choose any color that I'd like for here, and I could make this kind of interesting. You know, pick a color from my swatch panel, yeah, that's fine, but I'd like to just open this up a little bit more, and I'd like to get some interesting style with this. But how do I go ahead and introduce more style to this? Well, if I go under my Window menu, I'm gonna go down to Graphic Styles. And Graphic Styles are a, there's a whole bunch of presets in Illustrator that gives you some really cool, interesting effects, as well as your ability to make any that you want as well. And a graphic style is nothing more than attributes that are applied to vector artwork. So, if I go in and I go to my vector, my graphic styles, and I click on the cheese grater, there's actually a whole list of graphic styles that are here in Illustrator, which gives you a whole new learning curve, but here's what I want. And it's like, you know what, mm, they have this graphic style called Textures. There's one called Type Effect. Oo, let's do both. Textures, it's gonna call up a floating window of all different textures that you can add to any one of your elements. So I could click on here, and I could get all these really bizarre textures on here, and you're like, wow, this is like all kinda crazy, and it's like it is. It's like, oh my gosh, what is this? It's like, okay, this is kind of interesting. Toasty, like, wow. I can also go in and, these are the names of the graphic styles, I'm gonna go back in here, and I'm gonna do type effects as well. And here's all these different, cool type effects that I can apply to my style right there. And it's like, this is just all kinda crazy, like, neon. It's like, how is this done? Not everything works really, it's like, oh, that's kind of interesting, wow, all right, put that on there, and it's like, okay, the vector artwork and I have that, it's like, yeah, you know, it's kind of going the right direction, but how can I go ahead and make it more unique? Well, a graphic style is nothing more than multiple attributes applied to a shape. Fills, strokes, and a whole list of effects. Well, how do I know what's been done to this? I use the presets here and I click on it, and I kind of like this, but I'd like to change some of these attributes. It's a great place to start. But the way I'm gonna change the attributes on here is going to be under the Appearance panel. And the Appearance panel is going to be where all the attributes are applied. So with this, I've got my fill of my color right here and I could change that color to anything that I want and I could see how that changes. And it's got another fill on this here, which is a whole different ball game, it's like, wow, okay, there it is. And I've got a drop shadow on here as well, it's like, oh cool. Well, I could go in and I could kind of control that drop shadow that becomes more of a blur on there as well. Click on the fill, you know, maybe I want a little bit more of a gray rather than that, maybe do a brown, darker brown instead, it's like, wow, that's pretty cool. So, any graphic style that you can apply from the presets here, you can go ahead and you can manage in the appearance panel. Great thing with this is that if you find a style that you like and you can tweak it, that's going to work very well for you, you can now save what you've done as a graphic style to apply to things later. You're not stuck with what it is. So I've gone in here and I've tweaked this graphic style and now I would like to save this. It's as simple as taking this object, dragging it back into the graphic styles panel, I'm gonna put it at the top here to make it easy, and now I can create anything and have that graphic style match. Check this out. If I go in and I create just a normal circle right here and I apply my graphic style, it applies all those attributes that I've just done. Could you imagine how much fun you could have here just by taking the presets and being able to do that. Gotta question here? Yes, can you rename that from graphic style to something that's more meaningful? Certainly. Just double-click on it. Sometimes the first answer is the best answer. Yep, there you go. Now, we've been able to take a template, been able to adjust it very quickly, throw some other graphic elements in here as well, but keep in mind that all of this other content that I have done a search for, I've got one for Easter. 'Cause I did a search for Easter. And when I did a search for that, came up with Adobe Stock, I found my Easter element here, have some nice little Easter eggs here, and I'm going to do just images, and I'm going to filter this via just vectors and illustrations as well. And, there it is. Anything that I've already got and done, it says it's been licensed. Awesome. So I already know that I've got this file already downloaded if I'm searching for it. So I've already dragged that into my graphic library, actually saved it to my graphic library, so I could go in, use my artboard, and I could just simply duplicate any artboard here, remove any content that I want here, take that and double-click on my file. Copy all this content over, go in, bring it back in, paste it on the artboard. And, scale everything right to where I want it, there it is. Grab these elements off here, start to use them in others. I can ungroup this whole thing and be able to edit each and every one of these sections and pieces, all by itself, and in the layers panel, look at that, all nicely done. I could take any one of these elements here, take this, drag it into my panel, so wherever that group is. There it is, right there. Drag that into my library, and I've got that artwork. Use it, scale it, change the colors, and yeah. If I wanted to go in and change the colors, you know the drill. Go in, edit the colors, we can lock them all together, change that whole thing, now my Easter egg looks totally different. Crazy, cool, fun, awesome, and it's like, yeah, all right there, great place to start. And you can imagine going through, see how fast we were able to go in and just create the different themes on this just using the different elements, taking these elements, putting them in. Here's other Adobe Stock stuff, not a problem. Grab the birthday cake, double-click on it, copy the whole thing, jump back to the file that I was working on, paste it back in there. You know, there's our anniversary. There's a logo, throw it in there, on and on and on. So this rolls really quickly through all of our content. It's really enjoyable. So when we go through and we're creating other elements here these are just great for going in, producing cards, Easter, anniversary, whatever we've got, holidays as well. And you have so many great illustrations here, I just love this, it's like, totally awesome to see. You search for this, and you could just keep going on and on and on, and remember, because it's all vector, you can pull any of this content apart and reuse it. You know, each and every one of these. You liked that snowflake? Well, go into layers here, and I can turn off that whole group right there and I can get to the snowflakes in here, and it's like, totally cool..

Explanations Real Estate
1.Number of real estates owned
The number of buildings/land plots owned or partly owned
2.Total tax value
The taxed value according to the most recent property tax assessment for wholly owned and partly owned buildings/land lots. Total taxed value is thus not adjusted for shares owned.
3.Average owned part
Total tax value owned parts / Total tax value.
4.Property tax value, owned part
Total share tax value of wholly or partly owned buildings.
5.Land tax value, owned part
Total share tax value of wholly or partly owned land plots.
6.Total tax value owned parts
Sum of shared tax value of buildings and land plots.
7.Number of owners
If the number is greater than 1 the ownership is shared.
8.Owned part of the real estate
The owned part in percent.
9.Area
The measured size of the real estate in square metres.
10.Land value
Tax value of the land plot according to the most recent tax assessment.
11.Owned part [land]
The owned part of the land plot in percent.
12.Land tax value, owned part
Share of the tax value for the land plot.
13.Building type
“Friliggande” = detached house, “kedjehus” = detached houses built together with e.g. garages, “radhus” = terraced house.
14.Value Year
The Value Year is usually the year the building construction was completed. Value Year is decided by the Tax Agency as a part of the property tax assessment.
The aim is to indicate the probable remaining building life. In cases when a building has been rebuilt or built to – resulting in an extended remaining life of the building – the Value Year can be changed by the Tax Agency. Note however that it will not automatically be changed to the year of the rebuilding but rather will be a compromise between the year of construction and the year of rebuilding.
15.Value Area
Value Area is the total area used by the property tax assessment. For a house the Value Area is the living area with the addition 20 % (max 20 m2) of the secondary area accessible from indoors. Area is calculated according to Swedish Standard. It is thus an according to the standard measured value and not the physical area.
16.Property value [building]
Tax value of the building according to the most recent tax assessment.
17.Owned part [building]
The part owned by the person in percent.
18.Property tax value, owned part [building]
Share of the tax value for the building.

“In matters of faith the baptized cannot be passive.”
~ International Theological Commission
“Easter is a big deal at St. John’s,” Doug Barnes observes about his church. “It’s like the second-biggest deal behind Christmas.”
If you remember your Catechism, you’ll know that Barnes is dead wrong—at least from a theological and liturgical perspective. Easter (Alleluia! He is risen indeed!) is the high holy day for Christians, which is why it’s stretched out into an eight-day feast that blossoms into an additional six weeks of Easter “season.” Moreover, the Resurrection permanently altered the Christian calendar by shifting the Church’s Sabbatarian observance to Sunday, thus making every Sunday a mini-Easter.
Yes, Barnes is way off—and just who is this Barnes guy anyway?
Barnes is no theologian. Rather, he’s the youthful narrator of Dave Barry’s Christmas book, The Shepherd, the Angel, and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog. In other words, he’s just a kid, and a fictional one at that, but he has a point: Liturgical theology notwithstanding, Christmas cleans Easter’s clock.
You know it, I know it—there’s no getting around it. The clergy can clamor, catechists can cajole, and liturgists can lament, yet Easter simply can’t compete in popular terms. It seems that, on every front—culturally, commercially, even spiritually—Christmas has captured the imagination of the masses. By comparison, Easter finds itself relegated to a relative liturgical backwater, and has become for many merely a super-charged Sunday with bunnies, bonnets, and extra chocolate.
Alright then, the people have spoken: Christmas is #1, right? Chalk one up for the sensus fidei fidelium—the “faithful’s sense of the faith”—and let’s swap that paltry “twelve days of Christmas” for Easter’s full-on fifty-day revelry so that yuletide gets the attention it deserves!
Needless to say, that’s not how it works. “It is clear that there can be no simple identification between the sensus fidei and public or majority opinion,” the International Theological Commission wrote. “These are by no means the same thing.”
To begin with, what is embraced in society at large has no prescriptive bearing on what the Church ought to be teaching. “Opinion is often just an expression, frequently changeable and transient,” the Commission wrote, “of the mood or desires of a certain group or culture.” Faith, on the other hand, is about truth, and truth is not democratic, especially with reference to the caprice of social trends, political movements, and the latest hot-topic band-wagons.
And what applies to society in general applies to the Church as well, for just because somebody identifies as Catholic doesn’t mean he or she thinks with the Church on controversial matters of doctrine and morals. “In the history of the people of God,” noted the Commission, “it has often been not the majority but rather a minority which has truly lived and witnessed to the faith.” The sensus fidelium is not a poll, but rather a plumb line that confirms a direction already established.
Recall St. Athanasius, for instance, who held firm to orthodoxy when it seemed like all of Christendom was going over to the Arian heresy. Having endured persecution from emperors and episcopate alike—including five different exiles totaling 17 years—Athanasius saw orthodoxy triumph at the Council of Nicea, and afterwards he acquired the nickname Contra Mundum, “against the world.”
Athanasius’ perspective on faith and truth—that dogma is not a popularity contest—flies in the face of today’s rampant raw relativism, and not just among those formed by Western, Christian values. Here’s a notable example from NPR that caught my attention: “No religion, whether it’s Islam, Christianity or any idea based on scripture or texts, is a religion of anything, really,” asserted Muslim scholar Maajid Nawaz on NPR. “It’s—you know, Islam will be what Muslims make of it.”
Catholicism, however, is well known for rejecting religion by the numbers, and there’s no better illustration of this than Humanae Vitae and Pope Paul VI—a latter-day Contra Mundum duo. It was 1968 when the Holy Father issued his encyclical describing the inseparable connection between sexuality’s unitive and procreative meanings, and reiterating ancient Christian proscriptions against birth control—right when the West was in the throes of the Sexual Revolution. Everyone but everyone was expecting the Catholic Church to finally “get with it” and dump the old rules—pretty much every other branch of Christianity already had. Besides, married Catholics had taken to birth control in the same numbers as the general public by that point, and even their pastors seemed to be ambivalent about the practice, both in the confessional and outside it.
Nonetheless, Paul VI was unequivocal in his affirmation of the Church’s teaching on marital intimacy and openness to life, and he did it without apology. To be sure, Humanae Vitae acknowledged the hardships and challenges that some might experience in order to stay true to the teaching, but there was no attempt to rationalize self-destructive rebellion. “He looked to the peoples beyond,” Pope Francis said of Paul VI. “He saw the lack and the problem that it could cause families in the future.” Speaking in the Philippines, where a majority of Catholics embraced birth control, Pope Francis went on to say that Paul VI had been “courageous. He was a good pastor, and he warned his sheep about the wolves that were approaching.”
It’s noteworthy, then, that Pope Francis follows Paul VI’s lead in his new encyclical, Laudato Si’, and refuses to kowtow to the contracepting majority—a majority that sees birth control as both essential and eminently responsible. The Holy Father strongly affirms the necessity of caring for the environment, but he links concern for the earth to a sane concern for humanity. “Everything is connected,” he repeatedly asserts throughout the encyclical, and that means an ecological consistency that respects natural law when it comes to human life. Quoting John Paul II, Francis points to the consequences of ecological inconsistency:” (#117).
Despite suggestions to the contrary, the Church isn’t going to change her teaching on birth control. At the same time, Catholics in huge numbers still either don’t know that teaching, don’t understand it, or simply choose to ignore it. Of course, this isn’t a new problem—remember that Humanae Vitae came out in 1968, almost 50 years ago. Nonetheless, there’s a sudden urgency today because of rapid shifts in public opinion regarding the nature of marriage itself. The Church sides with history in affirming marriage in both its meanings: a couple’s love for each other and the potential for loving others into existence as well as creating the best circumstances in which to care for them. The fact that a majority of Catholics are oblivious to this wisdom, as enshrined in Humanae Vitae, goes a long way to explain why they might be ill equipped to defend traditional marriage and its privileges. For “if Catholics have never been taught the Church’s teaching,” Janet Smith writes, “isn’t it more likely that they have been formed more by the culture that surrounds them than by their Church?”
What to do then? In short, we need to get the word out but quick—and we can’t wait for the bishops or the clergy. Their reluctance to unequivocally and unabashedly affirm Humanae Vitae over the decades has helped create the current mess: a Catholic laity so utterly confused on these essential matters of life and love. And for the splinter minority of Catholics who aren’t confused? Let’s just say it’s not been easy to stay the course in the face of widespread ridicule and demoralizing marginalization, even within our ecclesial home.
Yet stay the course we must, and particularly these days we should be emboldened to make Humanae Vitae better known, although I’m not talking civil disobedience here. No doubt, that may come, but no need to rush it. Instead, here are a few alternative suggestions that are perhaps just as radical.
- Don’t contracept. Your marriage will be stronger, your ability to talk about chastity with your kids will be enhanced, and your conscience will be clear as you take Humanae Vitae to the streets—which leads me to suggestion numbers two and three…
- Teach Humanae Vitae. Whenever you get a chance. Teach it to your children right alongside teaching them about the Facts of Life (when developmentally appropriate, of course). Talk with your teens about birth control—about what they hear from their friends and at school, what they pick up in the news and on social media—and be clear, unapologetic, and confident. Teach it in CCD and ask for it to be taught in Catholic schools. Finally, ask your pastor—ask your bishop!—to make Humanae Vitae the centerpiece of pre-Cana workshops. Too often, this marvelous, beautiful teaching on marital intimacy—including the warnings about birth control—is tagged on to pre-marriage instruction as an appendix or afterthought. Instead, it should constitute that instruction’s very core.
- Be a Humanae Vitae missionary. Buy a case of Humanae Vitae and pass them out—with a smile. When I first read Humanae Vitae as a twenty-something convert, it was a revelation—and a revolution! I wanted to share that same epiphany with as many folks, Catholic and otherwise, as I could, and so I was delighted to find out that the Daughters of St. Paul published a small pamphlet edition for a mere 25¢—remember that? I used to buy them by the box and distribute them to people willy-nilly and with great joy. It made me so happy because I was sure they’d be surprised what they found, and that they’d at least be persuaded that the Church’s teaching made sense, even if they couldn’t accept it.
On that last point, you could argue that it would be much cheaper—even free!—to just forward online links to Humanae Vitae, especially since printed copies have risen in price from two bits to a buck or more. However, consider the difference between an “e-card” and an actual greeting card—is there any comparison? We routinely ignore our overflowing email inboxes, but when you get a physical letter in the mail, aren’t you eager to open it? It’s like the extra effort involved in non-electronic forms of communication entitles them to greater attention and consideration.
Plus, a real smile has it all over an emoticon, and if you personally put copies of Humanae Vitae in the hands of folks, you can attach a bit of your own buoyant poise—a grin, in other words, from ear to ear! This is terrifically good news, after all, and you get to be the messenger. It’s almost like, well, Christmas—and you can be an angel passing along the good word. Alleluia!

PhD Students
My research interests include
- Sequential decision making and decision theory
- Simulation-based dynamic optimisation / reinforcement learning
Learning decision-making strategies using data or sampling from a real or a simulated environment. For example, an algorithm can learn how to play a game using a set of past games, or it can play against a human or a simulator in order to learn how to improve its behaviour.
- Fully and partially observable Markov decision processes (MDPs and POMDPs)
Here, an algorithm knows the parameters (dynamics) of the game, and it can perform a direct optimisation of its own strategy.

One such expatriate is Wisconsin-born John Neumeier, whose penchant for creating story ballets with an original twist has made him one of the most sought-after choreographers in Europe. Ten years the director of the Hamburg Ballet, he has now brought his troupe to the Brooklyn Academy of Music for its North American debut. The Hamburg Ballet presents an all-Neumeier repertory through March 27.
Judging by the first of the Hamburg Ballet's four programs - which will probably also be performed when the troupe appears later in the spring at the Ravinia Festival and the Toronto International Festvival - I'd say Neumeier's reputation for novel ideas holds up. The spur to his imagination is ''A Midsummer Night's Dream,'' a Shakespeare play that Balanchine and Ashton have also transported into dance with straightforward means and great success.
Neumeier's route is fancier. The crux of this ''Dream'' is to demarcate, and so isolate from one another, each of the play's three worlds through music and dance style. The betrothed aristocrats are assigned the traditional Mendelssohn score and move like ballet dancers. The rustics cavort to hurdy-gurdy tunes in vaguely vaudevillian terms. The supernaturals dance to various and assorted noises composed by Gyorgy Ligeti.
Obviously, it's the ultramodern conception of fairyland that gives this ''Dream'' its famous Neumeier twist. Usually choreographers define human characters with extreme grace and virtuosity, especially when they're woodland fairies. Neumeier's big idea is to place the supernaturals in a futuristic landscape. Accordingly, they wear sleek, unisex leotards; Oberon's crown is a shiny silver skullcap.
Twistedness is another way to regard this twist. For along with the space-age music and costume goes space-age movement: mechanical, abrupt, and acrobatic. As often happens when choreographers become obsessed with physical technology, the basic energy of a dance springs from the keep-moving principle. The big ensemble dance for Oberon's retinue looks like an aerobic class.
Well, so much for the chrome-plated fairy world of Neumeier's imagination. The mortals are treated with less splash but more respect - almost. That is, the choreography for the quartet of mismatched lovers is necessarily less gimmicky, given its base of Mendelssohn's music. Neumeier pays careful attention to delineating each character, but he goes too far in making Helena an ugly duckling. She wears eyeglasses most of the time.
Is Neumeier playing around with the idea of vision and insight? That one person's clearsightedness is another's myopia? For Puck's continual blunderings this is a most novel explanation: He's wearing the wrong pair of eyes. But is the audience supposed to be pondering these ideas at the expense of love-thoughts? Even though Neumeier devotes the second act to a celebration of the weddings, ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'' is about love last of all. Mostly it's about how three strands of being cannot meet.

Where Jumanji meets Harry Potter: Abandoned hotel is transformed into a magical overgrown pop up wine bar... complete with a 'grand dining hall' and a 'ballroom'
- A bar as appeared in an abandoned hotel in Sydney suburb Chippendale
- The pop up wine bar looks as though it has been overtaken by the jungle
- Patrons have compared it to the house in the film Jumanji
- So will garden themed venues be the new hot trend?
For the last few years hipster chic bars have become less polished and more grungy, often with mismatched furniture and jars instead of bar stools and glasses.
And now, one bar has taken that aesthetic to the next level, setting up in an abandoned hotel that looks as though it has been taken over by a jungle.
New Zealand brand Stoneleigh Wines has set up a pop up wine bar in inner city Sydney suburb, Chippendale, that is reminiscent of the house from the movie Jumanji.
A new pop up bar is making waves in Sydney due to its unique styling (above)
Designed to look like an overgrown hotel, the pop up wine by is hosted by Stoneleigh
The New Zealand company has taken over an abandoned building in the inner-city Sydney suburb of Chippendale
The building is decorated to look like it has been overtaken by nature
The outside of the sandstone building is covered in ferns and vines, with a grass covered lounge seat for anyone who wants to sit and see locals wander by.
Inside decor includes a reception desk covered in wines and plants growing out of abandoned suitcases.
There's even a book to record names, an old phone and hanging chandeliers.
There's even a reception desk covered in plants and wines (above)
A large stained glass window dominates the main, light filled room (above)
There's also a main table with bottles of wine among grass and fresh fruit (above)
There are four rooms in the bar, the grand hall (above), powder room, ballroom, and study
There's four rooms, each dedicated to a different wine, and people are encouraged to wander around while sampling the different drops.
There's a powder room complete with a vanity table, jewellery and accessories, and a study with an overgrown typewriter and desk.
The main rooms consist of a light filled 'grand dining hall' and a darker 'ballroom', both with overgrown furniture and props.
The venue looks as if it has been taken over by a jungle, reminiscent of the house in the movie Jumanji
In the study, there is a working typewriter that appears to be been subjected to the elements
There is no place to sit down, as all the furniture has flora growing on it
Small details show that there was a masquerade ball in the hotel at some point (above)
The bar is only open for a month, but it has already proven extremely popular with locals who have taken to social media to share snaps of the incredible place.
While there's nowhere to sit without getting dirt on your derriere, the hip inner city folk don't seem to mind.
The question remains if this is the newest trend in hipster dining and if it will return as a permanent venue.
The bar is only open for a month, but is proving very popular with locals
There's even hats and dresses (above) for people to wear if they feel like getting into the theme of the bar
The pop up bar shuts on the 11 December but has made quite an impact already
Are jungle themed bars the newest trend we're going to see in food and...

Beijing slams 'provocative' US overflight in South China Sea
Two US B-52 bombers flew close to islands in the flashpoint authorisation," Beijing's defence ministry said, using the Chinese name for the Spratly Islands.

"This behaviour is a serious military provocation which complicates the general situation in the South China Sea, (contributing) to the militarisation of the region," the ministry said in a statement.
During the mission by the two B-52 bombers, one of the aircraft unintentionally flew within two nautical miles of an artificially constructed island, the Wall Street Journal quoted Pentagon officials as saying Friday.."
- 'Show of force' -
The United States has previously argued for its right to freedom of navigation in the South China Sea and is critical of China building artificial islands there.
It United States kilometres", the People's Liberation Army Daily said.
Beijing's claims in the sea conflict with those of its regional neighbours Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Brunei.
This week, Australia said one of its military surveillance planes had flown near disputed areas of the South China Sea. The crew reportedly heard warnings from China's navy.

NATO, Russia fail to narrow differences in Munich talks
MUNICH, Feb 7 (Reuters) - NATO and Russia failed to narrow their differences over the Ukraine crisis in talks on Saturday but agreed they would keep talking to each other.
The alliance's Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg held a 40-minute meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on the Ukraine conflict, which has caused the worst crisis in East-West relations since the Cold Wara a generation ago.
"It's clear that we assess the situation in Ukraine in very different ways," Stoltenberg told reporters after the meeting took place on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.
Russia and NATO, which tried after the Cold War to build a more cooperative relationship, have hurled accusations at each other since Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea last March.
That prompted NATO to suspend practical cooperation with Moscow. Western countries followed up with sanctions on Moscow.
NATO accuses Russia of sending troops to support pro-Moscow separatists in eastern Ukraine, a charge the Kremlin denies.
"He (Lavrov) re-stated some of the well-known Russian positions and that just confirms that we have very different assessments about what has happened ... and what caused the conflict in Ukraine and also the increased tensions between Russia and NATO," Stoltenberg said.
He said he had voiced deep concern to Lavrov about the "very critical and serious situation" in Ukraine and underscored Russia's responsibility for the situation because of its support for the separatists.
He urged support for the French and German drive to reach a peace accord in eastern Ukraine and stressed the importance of respecting any agreement that was reached.
Lavrov did not immediately comment on the talks.
Stoltenberg said NATO and Russia had agreed to keep channels of political contact open and NATO would also keep open military communication channels with Russia.
Experts say more frequent Russian air and sea patrols close to the borders of NATO countries have raised the risk of an accident or clash. Germany has urged NATO to set up an early warning system with Russia to prevent any military accident from spiralling out of control. (Reporting by Adrian Croft; Editing by Mark Heinrich)

NORTH Wales Police are to target boy racers in the next stage of a campaign to reduce road casualties.
The move follows a highly successful campaign to halt the spiralling number of serious accidents involving motorcyclists.
Members of the police authority ' s performance review committee heard yesterday that in the first six months of this year there were 96 serious or fatal collisions, a drop of 68 on 2004.
The number of fatal or serious casualties also fell by 70 to 116 - a 38% reduction, the force target being 2%.
And the number of motorcycle casualties in the same period was cut by 86%.
But authority member Quentin Dodd said while he welcomed the figures, it was clear boy racers presented a real problem.
"There have been some horrific cases and something needs to be done to tackle the problem," he said..
Deputy chief constable Clive Wolfendale agreed there was a problem involving young drivers under 25 who "drive around in cheap, high- performance hatchbacks".
"It is our current priority," he said.
He said the BikeSafe initiative involved education and co-operation with motorcycle organisations.
" The same principle applies to this problem and we have a number of initiatives," he said..
But Anglesey councillor Eifion Jones said Arrive Alive cameras were not the answer because most of the incidents involving boy racers were at night.
In his performance report, chief constable Richard Brunstrom said in most categories North Wales was highly placed compared with its "sister" group of seven similar forces.
The exception was violent crime, where North Wales was ranked seventh among similar forces and 20th throughout England and Wales.
But Mr Wolfendale said the reasons for the relatively high figures included the fact that incidents in which some fixed penalty notices were served, were recorded as violent crimes.
Also some forces were not using the same recording systems and in North Wales police were determined to tackle domestic abuse, hate crime and race crime.
Independent member Chris Drew pointed out the high number of fixed penalty notices also meant the detection rate for violent crime was higher than it would have otherwise been.

RESIDENTS in a busy housing scheme are claiming victory in the long-running battle to stop a derelict shop becoming a fast-food outlet.
So far, a businessman has attempted to turn the former hairdresser’s premises, in Arthurlie Avenue, Barrhead, into a takeaway shop on FIVE occasions.
But residents closest to the property, and those in nearby Aurs Glen and Burnbank Drive, have bombarded East Renfrewshire Council with more than 100 objections, and applicant Jaspreet Kaur, from Alva, in Clackmannanshire, has now withdrawn his planning request.
Residents’ spokesman Tom Wilson, 51, from Aurs Glen, insisted this was the end of the road for the fast-food shop – for now.
He said: “Our area is already well served with fast food outlets so there was absolutely no need for another one.
“The council must have agreed because this is the fifth time similar applications have been turned down, while a couple of appeals have also been dismissed.”
The latest planning application was for sit-in café premises but residents felt this was merely a ruse to get the takeaway request through.
Mr Wilson said: “There is absolutely no passing trade here, nor off-street parking, and we have had problems in the past with rodents coming up from the nearby burn.
“We also felt that it would encourage groups of youths to congregate nearby, which could potentially lead to antisocial behaviour.
“Residents are also a bit put out that the person applying for this permission has no local ties whatsoever.”
The premises were last used as a hair salon five years ago, and not long after that, the first request was made to turn it into a takeaway food outlet.
During the intervening years, there have been numerous requests to convert it for the same purpose and, to date, all proposals have been refused on the grounds that the area is already well served with such premises.
But residents are refusing to rest on their laurels, and Mr Wilson reckons they may not have seen the back of the determined Mr Kaur.
He said: “This is the latest in a long line of small victories, and we are all hopeful that we have heard the last of these applications, but we will wait and see.
“Every time we think we’ve seen the last application, up pops another one.”
But Mr Wilson has insisted that the locals would like to see something done with the derelict premises.
He said: “The way the building is at the moment is unacceptable. It is shabby and a real eyesore but the fact of the matter is that this area does not need another fast-food store.”
A spokesman for Mr Kaur confirmed that he had withdrawn his application.
He said: “I can’t say what will happen in the future, whether or not there will be a further application, but for now it won’t be happening.
“Mr Kaur is looking at other business propositions and most of his time is taken up with that at the moment.”

FIRST the school run. Then a Champions League run.
If anyone thinks Brendan Rodgers might be crushed by the pressures of qualification for Europe’s top tournament and lose focus on the really important things in life, think again.
Tonight, he and his Celtic troops will walk out into the cauldron of the Play off against Hapoel Be’er Sheva.
This morning, though, there are children across the country who walk through gates for the first time and into the intensity of a first-day at school.
Footballers take pride at their achievements on the pitch.
But Rodgers knows that away from the game, they are husbands, fathers and sons like anyone else.
Work is hard enough without stress at home, which is why Rodgers is tailoring preparations for the clash against the Israelis and any other future game to reflect the needs of his players away from the field.
Rodgers believes that, for his players to be at their best on the pitch, their mental state needs to be perfect.
Which is why the boss has taken his man-management skills into ensuring some of his squad such as Leigh Griffiths go into battle tonight with their chests puffed out and full of pride having been there for their child’s first day at school.
In a fascinating insight into his work, Rodgers explained: “It’s life. then-jig the preparation, but it doesn’t affect us. It’s just about planning forward, really.”
Rodgers’ approach may open eyes. There are managers across Europe who would slam their players into a hotel the night before a massive game without discussion.
But the Celtic boss continued: “Family is so important. Psychologically it can be a massive lift for a player.
“Listen, you’d need to ask the players, but I always try and put myself in their shoes.
“Ultimately it’s about getting them on the field in the best possible condition as I can, and that’s in every way.
“Psychologically, technically, tactically and mentally.
“Mental fitness is important. So if you have got that release then great.
“Someone like Leigh,.
“Hopefully they take that responsibility as being a mature human being and they’ll be prepared mentally.”
Such detail might seem trivial to some, but if it draws an extra ounce from one of his troops tonight, Rodgers knows it’ll be worth it.
When he was appointed boss, the Irishman put the Champions League mission among the top of his objectives.
Celtic’s absence from the top-table of European football since 2013-14 has hurt the club, both in prestige and finance.
The importance of returning both to Parkhead is not lost on the manager, who said: “I think everyone knows the importance of it.
“The players who have been here over the past couple of seasons have felt the pain within that.
“The message I’ve looked to send to those players is that we don’t really want to go back into that.
“They will have learned lessons from it, but this is a new team with a new idea and one which is progressing very well.
“It will be tough, the last qualifying stage, but it is important to stay calm. We want passion, intensity and pressure, but you have to stay calm in order to make the process work.
“Whatever has happened in the past is irrelevant. This is a different team with a different mentality and a different manager. That’s how we have been approaching it.”
It’s a freshness of approach which could serve Celtic well.
Ex-boss Neil Lennon once said these qualifiers caused his sleepless nights, but Rodgers smiled: “I know Lenny well and we are different characters with different personalities.
“I’m sure, if he said it, that he didn’t sleep too well the night before these games. Of course, these are huge games,
“You can sense it when you drive up to the stadium. When that music comes on and the flag is fluttering in the middle of the pitch, everyone will sense the size of the occasion.
“You have to stay calm. The work has gone in with the players and the staff to try and make sure we arrive at a good moment.
“It has been very thorough and we can do no more.
“If you get a bit of luck along the way, then you hope you can qualify. The players are ready. I'm calm and confident we have done the work. I will sleep fine and we will be ready for the game.
“It’s football. We want to do well. Yeah, I love football, it’s my life, we spend many hours at the training ground analysing, you get home at night and analyse a game, think about the game, and of course this match is clearly on our minds.
“I respect what it means to everyone to get through. It’s one of our objectives for the season.
“But you cannot get too emotionally hooked in. Or you won’t sleep.”

MICHAEL MOFFAT hit a double but it was the babes who stole the show as Ayr proved they're kids in for the future.
Brian Reid flooded the team with youth as he looked to save his first choice men for the play-offs against Airdrie United.
And the side of fresh faces more than held their own despite Falkirk plundering their first win of the season against them.
Boss Reid said: "It was a gamble with a very young team, I was proud of them and hopefully they can learn from the experience.
“I was delighted to see Moffat score two. He’s always harping on at me that he’s playing out of position a wee bit in wide left midfield.
“But due to the amount of injuries, he’s had to do a job out there and he’s done it well.
“He’s an honest lad and works his socks off. But I’m not daft – he’s a better striker than midfielder but for the benefit of the team he has been sacrificed and he’s happy to do that.
“We came through unscathed and played well considering it was a completely new team. The young boys did themselves no harm with the way they performed.
"We rested a few players so hopefully they all come back in on Wednesday night and help us become stronger and add some experience."
There were starts for Darren McGill, Robbie Crawford, Jackson Longridge, Steven Hutchison, Gareth Armstrong and Roddy Paterson.
Aaron Wyllie and Dean Marshall were on the bench while back-up keeper Ryan McWilliams made his first appearance of the season.
It looked ominous when Falkirk raced ahead in seven minutes. A mix-up between Chris Smith and McWilliams allowed Farid El Alagui to nip between them.
The keeper was booked for bringing down the striker allowing Tam Scobbie, in his farewell game as a Bairn, to ram home the penalty.
Ayr's youngsters held firm and then equalised out of the blue six minutes after the interval.
Moffat cut inside Murray Wallace and although Michael McGovern got a hand to the shot he couldn't keep it out.
Falkirk had a goal chopped off when Kris Faulds needlessly touched home a Scobbie header that was going in.
El Alagui restored the lead in the 56th minute, heading home his 28th goal of the season from a Blair Alston cross.
Ayr went agonisingly close to levelling for the second time butPaterson's shot trickled just wide after Moffat set him up.
Falkirk thought they were home and dry seven minutes later when Alston forced home an inswinging corner from Mark Millar which McWilliams failed to hold.
Martyn Campbell and Alan Trouten replaced Paterson and McGill as Ayr looked to give two experienced men valuable game time.
Wyllie became the latest debutant in 79 minutes when he replaced fellow kid Armstrong. And he was on the park only two minutes when Moffat twisted his way into the box before squeezing home a low shot.
FALKIRK: McGovern, Alston, Scobbie (Dick 90), Dods, Wallace, Fulton, Sibbald, Millar (Brisbane 88), El Alagui (White 90), Faulds, Kingsley. Unused subs: Bowman, Rowan. Booked: Alagui.
AYR: McWilliams, Armstrong (Wyllie 79), Longridge, R. Robertson, Smith, McKernon, Hutchison, Crawford, Paterson (Trouten 66), Moffat, McGill (Campbell 66). Unused subs: Cuthbert, Marshall. Booked: McWilliams.
Referee: Mike Tumilty; Crowd: 3445.
