Through the Google lens: Search trends April 17-23
Emily Wood
Managing Editor, Google Ink
Everyone wants to know what D.J. Tanner and Target are up to. Read on for all the search scoop from this week:
The earth in focus
Wednesday marked the 45th annual Earth Day celebration. People came to search to get more information on the origins of the holiday and learn about ways to conserve—oh, and find out what animal they are, of course. In addition to searches for [earth day slogans] and [earth day worksheets], searchers asked questions like "When was the first Earth Day?", "How do we stop climate change?" and "Is styrofoam recyclable?"
Just when we were feeling all warm and fuzzy about our planet, we got a reminder that nature can be a little scary as well as awe-inspiring. In Chile, the Calbuco volcano exploded for the first time in more than 40 years, sending clouds of ash into the air and causing thousands to evacuate. There were 100K+ searches for [chile volcano] as people sought to learn more about the eruption.
Prized Pulitzers
Sunday morning, people lined up outside Target stores around the country for the launch of the store's new Lilly Pulitzer collaboration. But many fans waited in vain, as the affordable line of clothes and home decor sold out within hours both on and offline. Shoppers vented on social media, and searches for Lilly Pulitzer reached an all-time high this month. Meanwhile, persistent types have driven searches for [lilly pulitzer ebay] up 1000% in the last seven days.
But lucky Lilly fans weren't the only ones thanking the stars for their Pulitzer this week. This year's Pulitzer prizes were announced on Monday, leading people to the web to learn more about the winners across categories ranging from fiction to investigative reporting to poetry. (And in case you were wondering: Lilly Pulitzer, who died in 2013, was once married to the grandson of Joseph Pulitzer, who established the eponymous Prize.)
Everywhere you look...
...there are reboots. First "DuckTales," then "The Muppet Show," and now "Fuller House." This week Netflix announced a spin-off of the 90s family sitcom "Full House," to debut in 2016, and 200,000+ searches followed. The new show will feature oldest sister D.J. Tanner (Candace Cameron Bure), and several other stars from the original series are signed on to return, including Jodie Sweetin—the subject of some 50K+ searches this week—and John Stamos. Still, it's yet to be seen whether the rest of the cast will participate or decide to cut it out. Though searches for Mary-Kate Olsen reached more than 50,000 this week, she and her sister have said that they were surprised by the news. So you might want to wait a bit before saying "TGIF!"
Keep that good Earth Day momentum going. Just ask Google, "Where can I recycle electronics near me?" for a handy list of places to drop off your old wires and devices.

Migration Info: Depending on I/O requirements either the FX3G or FX3U PLC should be used in place of an FX PLC. Neither is a direct drop-in replacement in terms of wiring or dimensions, but very similar. FX PLCs can be programmed using the same software as the FX3G and FX3U, but some review is necessary to ensure that all functions of the program are migrated successfully. Please contact your local Mitsubishi representative if additional assistance is required.

After strong debut, USC receiver Amon-Ra St….
LOS ANGELES — The latest matchup between USC and Stanford will also involve a friendly sibling rivalry.
Amon-Ra St. Brown, the Trojans' freshman receiver, will face his older brother, Osiris, a redshirt freshman wide receiver for the Cardinal.
In the lead-up to Saturday's meeting in Palo Alto, communication has been short.
The brothers are in new territory, squaring off on opposite sides after they starred together at Mater Dei High, with Osiris one grade class ahead. The oldest among the prodigious brothers, Equanimeous, was a standout for three seasons at Notre Dame before leaving for the NFL earlier this year.
Both made their college debuts last weekend.
Osiris, who redshirted in his first season on campus, caught a pass in the first quarter of Stanford's 31-10 win over San Diego State.
St. Brown delivered a particularly impressive performance in the Trojans' season-opening win over UNLV, catching a team-high seven passes for 98 yards, including a 43-yard touchdown to begin the fourth quarter. No previous USC freshman wide receiver had ever caught more passes in his first game, living up to some of the lofty preseason expectations set by coaches following training camp in which they compared him to Robert Woods.
Throughout the season opener, St. Brown served as a dependable pass catcher for freshman quarterback JT Daniels. According to Pro Football Focus, St. Brown was targeted on nine of his 18 passing routes, the highest frequency among Pac-12 wide receivers in Week 1. Several of Daniels' earliest completions fell into the hands of St. Brown, who has aided the young passer's transition to college.
The tandem starred at Mater Dei, where they first developed a connection. A few weeks after Daniels announced last December that he was graduating early to join the Trojans for this season, St. Brown, previously uncommitted, pledged to USC.
Lobendahn continued to practice after returning the previous day from a pectoral strain that sidelined him for the season opener. He did not report pain following Tuesday's workout and saw more work Wednesday in 11-on-11 drills.
"It was good to get that live action," Helton said.
Cornerback Iman Marshall will be tasked with slowing down Stanford's JJ Arcega-Whiteside, an imposing wide receiver who caught three touchdowns on deep passes last week against San Diego State.
Marshall is eager for the challenge.
Like Marshall, Arcega-Whiteside returned for his senior season, a boon to Stanford's passing game.
Nose tackle Brandon Pili has been limited in practice this week due to a wrist injury. … Redshirt freshman safety Isaiah Pola-Mao did not practice Wednesday due to an illness. Helton said there was a "24-hour bug going around." … Helton said there was no update on safety Bubba Bolden, who remained absent from practice after missing the season opener for an undisclosed matter. … Tight end Josh Falo remained sidelined due to a hamstring injury.

THE con is back on tonight as Hustle returns for a fifth series.
Robert Glenister stars again as Ash Morgan – and I interviewed him yesterday for today's MEN TV feature.
You can see what he had to say – and view a pic gallery – here.
But I know fans of Robert, as well as Hustle and Spooks, will want to read more.
Episode one of Hustle sees Robert's character Ash posing as Simon Porter-Jones, a City misogynist with a 19-year-old mistress.
He has coffee and brandy for breakfast as he bids to reel in his mark.
Robert told me: "I just thought that rather than make him an obvious semi-caricature of the obnoxious City bloke, it would be better to try and make him unpleasant as opposed to funny and a bit cartoonish.
"I think that gives the whole thing an edge, the fact that he's as leery and surrounded by women who are considerably younger than he is. I thought that was important, just to give it that slight darkness.
"What we tried to do this time was to make the characters that we were portraying believable and give the whole thing a darker and slightly more dangerous edge than I think we had towards the end of the last couple of series.
Albert Stroller (Robert Vaughn) is in prison when the new series starts, with Mickey Stone (Adrian Lester) newly arrived back from Australia.
"Initially there was a thought that we were all going to be inside and Adrian was going to come back and spring us all out. But I think that would have taken too long to get going and taken up one or two episodes with that one storyline.
Two new members of the team are revealed at the end of tonight's episode. Check back then for Robert's comments on the new cast additions.
Post episode one update: See the bottom of this blog for more.
Bill Bailey is impressive in a guest role this evening and returns later in the series.
The cast of Hustle are optioned for two more series after this one but the decision is, as ever, ratings-based.
Robert also plays Home Secretary Nicholas Blake in Spooks and I remarked that he has quite a female following.
Is there any reason why the Home Secretary can't come back in the new series of Spooks, being filmed this spring?
"As far as I know, no. There's no logical reason. There isn't going to be an election between then and now, although I don't know if they pay too much attention to that sort of thing anyway. But, no, there's absolutely no reason. And given how the last series ended with Harry being bundled away, in a sense there is every reason for the Home Secretary to try and sort things out, given the fact that he shafted him very badly when Harry was being interrogated. It's great.
More on plans to work together with younger brother Philip Glenister: They haven't managed it yet. Is that simply because they've yet to find the right project?
Did his early urge to act come from the fact that his TV director father John was involved in the business?
"It was sort of always there, really. Ever since I was a kid. From the age of eight or nine I was doing local am drams and stuff at school, so it was always sort of there. My dad didn't often bring his work home with him. He'd go to work and come home and forget it. So we weren't surrounded by actors and all that sort of business.
He starts rehearsals next week for a production called Wrecks at The Bush theatre in Shepherd's Bush. Previously staged in Ireland and New York, it consists of a 75 minute monologue.
"There's a clever twist at the end, which I won't reveal. But he's basically a guy who's lost his wife and he's talking to an audience about her and reminiscing about her and her previous life, and his. It's a challenge and something that I haven't done before.
"I haven't worked at The Bush for years. But it's 75 minutes of me, so let's hope people don't get too bored. If they do, I can always go and buy them a drink in the bar downstairs and shut them up.
Robert acted alongside new Doctor Who Matt Smith in The Ruby In The Smoke.
"Matt was my office boy. He was great. I tell you what I did see him in, which I thought he was wonderful in, was a Simon Stephens play at the National, called On The Shore Of The Wide World. That was the first time I'd seen him and he was playing a very strong Manchester character. I was absolutely convinced that he was from Manchester, but he's not.
Hustle returns to BBC1 at 9pm tonight.
It's a shame that some newspapers, magazines and websites – whether through ignorance or design – spoiled the twist in episode one for their readers.
Several published photos, like the one above, which were strictly embargoed until after tonight's episode.
Also revealing in advance that Kelly Adams and Matt Di Angelo were joining the regular Hustle team as Emma Kennedy and her baby brother Sean.
Anyway, now the episode has been screened, I can add Robert's comments to this blog on what the two newcomers bring to the series.
"They've got an enthusiasm and an energy…and a youth," he laughed.
"Both Kelly and Matt are very enthusiastic about the whole project. They've got a great sense of humour between the two of them. And you believe that they're brother and sister, which I think is quite an achievement, because they didn't know each other before.
If you want to see more and larger photos of the new team, click on the link to today's MEN TV feature immediately below – I've now added them to the pic gallery.
Ian – thank you so much for this Robert Glenister interview and the MEN article. Lots of information about future projects – Spooks, Hustle and Wrecks – that'll keep him out of mischief for a while!
It's wonderful news that the cast are optioned for two more Hustle series – if it depends on the ratings there should be no problem – it's hugely popular, and very good.
And… you asked him about the Home Secretary ! Thank you ! ! There is indeed every reason for the Home Sec to help Harry out – he shafted the whole team earlier in Series 6 as well, sanctioning their 'assassination' by Davie King -so let's hope he can 'finesse' this one.
Will you be 'catching up' again with Robert Glenister in advance of Hustle 6?
Hi Pat…sadly, probably not. Would never turn down a chance to interview Robert but it just hasn't happened so far in the run up to the new series of Hustle.
Shame ! but it won't stop me reading the blogs.

Bittrex has earned it's place as the new contender to the throne of world's largest crypto exchange. Years of hard work and some lucky circumstances (BTC-e shut-down, Poloniex exodus, Cryptsy) have compounded a steady inflow of new users. It is a great place to trade bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. I'll let you read the detail in my Bittrex review, which has some important facts and analysis.
Bitstamp are big in Europe and, since 2011, have moved from Slovenia, and the United Kingdom in search of sound regulatory environments. Good volumes are available for larger trades. Well received by people using SEPA and credit cards. Both euro and US dollar deposits are accepted. I like Bitstamp because they really focus on being a pure bitcoin-only exchange (update: since 2017 Bitstamp have started adding popular cryptocoins). Please read my Bitstamp critique for analysis of factors such as security, fees, and the history.

Since we are involved in complex engagements, the PMO enables ZAG to deliver effective solutions in a predictable manner. To ensure effective delivery, PMO is involved as early as possible in the scope definition process.
We offer Project Management as a stand-alone service or as part of our other IT project consulting services. With our years of experience in technology engineering, systems integration, tools, processes, and asset management, we deliver a value-driven approach that can manage project change while tightly managing cost, time and scope. As the complexity of technology integration increases, so does the need for solutions that are more predictable and defined, where outcomes can be measured and managed.
Companies are looking to stay competitive and meet business demands in today's rapidly changing environment. Projects must be completed faster and within budget, and given the complexities of business and technology today, companies are turning to project management offices (PMO) to improve processes, control costs and deliver a clearly defined outcome. The return on the PMO investment is realized through consistent processes and oversight that will deliver greater efficiency, improve customer service and satisfaction, and provide greater competitive advantage.
The goal of the PMO is to improve execution and, ultimately, profitability through efficient project execution and better reporting standards that enable strategic decision-making. To that end, more companies are turning to outsourced PMO to manage complex IT projects and initiatives. Managing projects internally can prove to be a costly and inefficient process due to inexperience, ever-changing project complexities, and inconsistent management.

Get Inspired By These 5 Famous, Real Life Bears
Since June is traditionally Bear Month at Rocky Mountain Cabin Décor, we thought that it might be fun to take a look at five famous bears that would make great inspiration for wildlife decor fans. And no, not one of the bears on our list has a sidekick named Boo Boo. As a matter of fact, there isn't a fictional bear on our list. Here's a look at our five picks and feel free to chime in on Facebook with a few of your own:
1.) Prehistoric Artie
Arctotherium, or "Artie" for short, was a short-faced bear that once roamed Argentina during the Pleistocene Period. His skeletal remains were unearthed in 2011 and eventually put on display. Scientists widely believe that he could reach a standing height of 11-feet and weighed far more than 3,000 pounds. He tops our list because of his age and size.
2.) Bruno
Next on our list is an American black bear that may cause many readers of a certain age to get nostalgic for pill box hats and hot pants. Yes, we are talking about Bruno. He's the bear that was featured in the 1960s' television phenomenon, Gentle Ben. Ringing in at more than 8-feet tall, Ben was said to have originally hailed from Wisconsin, and at his heaviest weighed in excess of 630 pounds. He was so famous, in fact, that he even had stunt doubles. And that leads us to the third famous bear on our list, Hammer.
3.) Hammer
Hollywood legend has it that Hammer loved the water. So it is no wonder that he was often the one taking center stage during the television show's water scenes. In later years, he gave up his on screen career for a baby pool at one of West Palm Beach's zoos.
4.) Bart
Fourth on our list is another big name bear that film and television fans may remember. Known as Bart, this hefty grizzly bear had a resume as impressive as any of the other bears we've previously mentioned. During the course of his lifetime, he starred in a multitude of popular films, like Legends of the Fall, The Bear and The Great Outdoors. In addition, he has done charity work as a celebrity spokesbear and appeared posthumously in video games.
5.) Goliath
Last on our list is Goliath. Originally from Alaska, he earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for his size. At the time, he stood 12-feet tall and weighed a whopping 2,000 pounds. He passed away in the spring of 1991 and his remains have since been put on display in Sussex County, New Jersey.
If reading about these five bears has inspired you to add a bit of wildlife décor to your home, please contact us today. From now until the end of the month, we have great deals available on bear décor. In addition, you'll be able to take advantage of our Triple Peak Advantage.

It's finally here, the remake that so many of us have been waiting years for, Resident Evil 2. One of the best survival horror games of all-time, re-imagined for a new generation that welcomes newcomers and veterans alike into the horrors of Raccoon City, starring Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield.
To celebrate, Capcom has released an awesome live-action trailer. The actors playing the roles have quite the similarities to both Leon and Claire, it's gleefully cheesy and well worth the watch. Those who are maybe too young to remember, back in 1998 for the release of the original RE2, the master of zombie movies, George A. Romero directed a live-action trailer for the PS1 classic and this new live-action trailer is influenced by that very one. I'll include both the new and old live-action trailers so that you can compare the two below.
And of course with it being the big release day, Capcom has also released the games launch trailer, which can be found below. However, just as a warning for the launch trailer, it shows A LOT of spoilers, so be aware.
Resident Evil 2 releases today for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Be sure to read our review of the bloody brilliant Resident Evil 2 remake here, which we described is as "re-invented for a new generation and is better than ever!".


The paintings in this exhibition originate from a number of different sources. Nevertheless the works share a common set of principles, connected by technique and vision. They are indeed 'fragments' of my imagination.
Oil paintings completed over the year. Along with the portfolio of etchings and some smaller works in acrylic and pastel.
A portfolio of etchings made with New Zealand printmaker, Merle Bishop.
The artist and printmaker will be in attendance throughout.
An exhibition about the area surrounding Tupe Tupe, the land owned by the Ludbrook family for one hundred and fifty years.


Dark green boards with gold lettering to the spine. Glazed pictorial unclipped dust jacket yellowing to the edges. Now in a new removable protective clear sleeve. No inscriptions, 296pp, clean pages with coloured images throughout. Please note this is a heavier book and an additional postal may apply. (Any digital image available on request).


In this season of skeletons and specters, monsters and mayhem, the National Library of Medicine offers a few goodies that, unlike candy, won't add to your waistline—though they might help pass the time between knocks on your door.
The human skeleton evokes more shivers than science this time of year, but whether you're interested in medicine or the macabre, we have some treats for you. Type "skeleton" in the search bar of the US National Library of Medicine's Digital Collections to access over one hundred skeletal images, from the cranium to the phalanges. Many images are in the public domain and available for you to use—if you dare.
Over 200 years ago, a young woman's novel about a scientist's "unholy creation" was published anonymously.
Since then, Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus" has inspired plays, films, comics—and a National Library of Medicine exhibition.
That exhibition, Frankenstein: Penetrating the Secrets of Nature, has been captivating audiences for 20 years.
If you're in southern Arizona or northeastern Ohio, you're in luck. The traveling exhibition is on display at the University of Arizona's Health Sciences Library and the College of Wooster's Andrews Library through the end of November. But the online exhibition is available for everyone.
So take time this Halloween to consider the medical advances that challenge our traditional understanding of what it means to be human and that expose hidden fears of science and technology.
From the dance of death to a costume conundrum, Circulating Now, a blog from the NLM History of Medicine Division, has been offering Halloween-themed stories for years.

make believe | Have you got a problem with me?
I can't remember where I heard or read this, but I'm pretty sure that it is a genuine technique suggested by life coaches and the like: if you can't get up the courage to try on a new belief system and wear it like you're favourite old jumper which gets brought out every Christmas, begin by just pretending. Or make believe, as the kids say! Obviously the aim is that, with time, we begin to embody the new qualities or beliefs which we set out to develop, but in the meantime, pretending is a good start, and is certainly preferable to giving up before you've even started.
The added benefit of doing this is that, as you begin to question your approach to situations, you can identify certain stumbling blocks and areas in your life where you could benefit from some personal development. Afterall, you can't hope to resolve a problem area until you know it exists!
So what has any of this got to do with worrying what others think of us? Well I suppose one of the problem areas us human beings struggle with the most is worrying that we've said or done something wrong – that we aren't enough just as we are, and that we somehow have to twist and morph our personalities to suit what we believe others expect of us. Perhaps you have one or two key relationships where you feel it's particularly difficult to just be yourself, without fear of seeming less than worthy in the eyes of others. (I think it's pretty safe to say that most of us have at least one of these relationships!) Well whenever you are with this person – your own personal kryptonite – have a go at acting the part of the person you would like to grow into. Gain some perspective and view the situation from a different angle if you possibly can. And it doesn't have to be a groundbreaking performance! You're not aiming to win an Oscar straight away. Just take on a bit-part to begin with, and see what happens.
I hope some or all of this makes sense to you lovely readers.

Here's how to land Taco Bell Hotel reservations so you can live más in Palm Springs this August
By Stephanie Breijo Posted: Thursday June 20 2019, 8:01am
Rendering: Courtesy Taco Bell
Summer's almost here, which means one thing for those of us who like to think outside the bun: The Taco Bell Hotel is almost upon us—and so is Taco Bell breakfast in bed.
In case you've been living under a whopper of a rock, you may have heard the call of the fire sauce last month when the Fourth Meal advocates and Crunchwrap creators announced that Taco Bell will take over a Palm Springs hotel in one of the company's most insane and ambitious activations yet. Officially running from August 8 to 12, The Bell: A Taco Bell Hotel and Resort promises poolside cocktails, "Bell" hops, an on-site hair and nail salon, themed rooms, merch and tacos galore.
The reservation's set to be hotter than diablo sauce, which is why we've got great news: We now know exactly when you should be setting your alarms to snag a spot—plus a few more details on what to expect.
King Sauce Room
On Thursday, June 27, at 10am PDT, you'll finally be able to head to the hotel's official site and book your room. Choose between one-, two- or three-night stays within the four-night window, starting at $169 per evening. Unfortunately, you won't be able to book additional rooms for your entire crew: While the V Palm Springs Hotel, the actual site of the pop-up, offers more than 70 rooms, The Bell has a one-room-per-booking rule (so remind your friends to set some alarms, too). Note: There's also a one-car-per-room rule when it comes to on-site parking, in case you're meeting up there.
Your decked-out digs? There's the single king-bed option with standard view; the single king-bed room with a pool view; the two queen beds with standard view; and finally, the two queen beds with pool view, all with check-in at 2pm and check-out at 11am (and sorry, kiddos, this hotel is 18-plus).
Double Baja Room
In addition to the Crunchwaps and Doritos Locos tacos we all know and love, The Bell is unleashing a hotel-only, to-be-announced "poolside resort menu" for the occasion, plus a Baja Blast "Freeze Lounge," a pool bar and other spins on resort life (ahem, that Taco Bell breakfast in bed, though). The Mexican-pizza purveyors also promise that no two days at the hotel will be the same, with events like drive-in movies and live performances to entertain. Expect a gift shop stocked with every imaginable Taco Bell-branded item your cinnamon-twist–loving heart could want, not to mention daily morning hot yoga, DJ sets, that salon featuring Taco Bell-inspired nail art and hair fades, and who even can imagine what else.
Listen to us very, very carefully: Thursday, June 27 at 10am. Don't let anything come between you and a night of restful sleep atop hot-sauce pillows.
The Bell: A Taco Bell Hotel and Resort runs August 8–12, popping up at 333 E Palm Canyon Dr in Palm Springs, with rooms starting at $169 per night.

MDMA generally comes in the form of small tablets, capsules, or white powder. When found in tablet form (often referred to as "ecstasy"), it is common for MDMA to be combined with any of the following substances : MDMA, Caffeine, MDA, Methamphetamine, …... No. If it is "okay" is a bit of a strange wording, but let's assume that you are in Portugal where it is perfectly legal, you have actual pure uncut pharmaceutical MDMA, are at peak health, and have your mothers permission.

Chaos Sedated returns with a new mix of industrial, dark ambient, and apocalyptic folk featuring Awen, Der Blutharsch, Rome, and more.
From the Heathen Harvest review of Awen – Grim King of the Ghosts:
Grim King of the Ghosts is the second album from the American neofolk project Awen after their 2009 debut The Bells Before Dawn, though the band has had much activity in the intervening years with limited singles and compilation appearances. The album was released on the Italian Old Europa Café label in a digipak format with a pressing of 300 copies. It contains thirteen tracks, totaling fifty minutes of music that straddles the neofolk and martial genres, with hints of dark ambient/industrial.
This is a concept album, and per the promotional text it "stands as a sonic dedication to the ties that bind this world to the spectral" and is "rooted in the concept of the Grim Grey King." The music and songs which Awen employ on Grim King of the Ghosts is successful at bringing this concept to fruition, with the overall album showcasing musical acumen, standout songs, memorable lyrics (in a variety of languages), and vocals that range from bombastic to seductive. Awen, helmed by Erin Powell and Katrin X—along with a plethora of other musicians including b9 InVid (from Et Nihil and the now-defunct, infamous industrial project Luftwaffe)—brings a musical diversity to Grim King of the Ghosts which ranges from haunting and unnerving to militant, mystic, and folky, while managing to keep each track's sounds canonical for the entire experience.


Haverford College Rankings, Tuition, Acceptance Rate, etc.
Haverford College is a private, coeducational liberal arts institution founded in 1833 by members of the Orthodox Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). While Haverford has no formal religious affiliation, Quaker philosophy still influences academic life. Established as an all-male institution, Haverford began admitting female transfer students as early as 1970 and became fully co-ed in 1980. Located in Haverford, Pennsylvania, the college is just eight miles outside of Philadelphia, the fifth largest city in the United States. With the train station located right across from the campus entrance, students have easy access to the social, historical, and cultural experiences, jobs, and internships the city has to offer. Known for its educational quality, Haverford has an excellent track record in its students and graduates who are admitted into medical, law, and professional schools at rates significantly higher than the national average.
Haverford operates a little differently than most colleges in that students are given an unparalleled degree of freedom and responsibility when it comes to their own education. In place for over 100 years is the Honor Code – Haverford's code of conduct that places trust in its students to act with responsibility and honesty. There are no RAs in dorms, exams are unproctored, 24-hour lab access is granted, and there is no admission enrollment deposit. Through this unconventional method, Haverford's purpose is to teach students responsibility and develop them into good citizens who are trustworthy, concerned, and respectful community members.
Consistently ranked among the top academic institutions in the nation, Haverford's curricular requirements are intentionally diverse to ensure that students become well-rounded and expansive thinkers. The school boasts nearly 30 academic departments, over 25 programs, and students have access to four libraries. Haverford is part of a unique four-college exchange program known as the Quaker Consortium, involving Bryan Mawr and Swarthmore Colleges and the University of Pennsylvania. Through the University of Pennsylvania, Haverford students are offered a 4+1 engineering program that grants a B.S. from Haverford and a Masters from Penn in just five years.
Haverford has a total enrollment of over 1,000, split almost in half between male and female students. Though only first-year, transfer and exchange students are required, nearly all students live on-campus – as does over 60% of the faculty – in student housing that is overwhelmingly co-ed. Haverford's residence halls offer a wide variety of accommodations, ranging from four-person apartments to suites and singles. Many of the residence halls are beautifully constructed historic buildings, several dating back to the late nineteen and early twentieth centuries. Students have a number of options for dining in and around the campus as well.
An NCAA Division III school, over 30% of students participate in intercollegiate sports and there are over 20 varsity teams. Over 140 student-run clubs and organizations exist, centering around an array of topics and interests, including academic; affinity; special interest; awareness; media & publication; spiritual & religious; sports & recreation; music; pre-professional organization; student government; service & activism; and visual & performing arts.
NO GLOBAL PUBLISHER RATINGS YET FOR Haverford College.


Overheating is a serious risk when it comes to exercise—especially in a climate like Orlando's. It's not about being a wimp—heat stroke can be fatal. Remember: Any activity can be strenuous when you add the heat factor, so bear in mind that you may need to change your exercise routine when the heat and humidity index begin to rise. But you can prepare to exercise safely outdoors this summer if you take some common sense steps.
You can quickly overheat from dehydration, as your body loses fluid faster while you exercise. That means you should drink plenty of water before you even think about exercising—and way before you even feel thirsty. But water's not the only way to keep up your fluid intake. During the summer months, add lots of water-dense fruits and vegetables to your diet. Those that contain 90% or more water content include broccoli, celery, cucumber, strawberries, cantaloupe, and watermelon—and that's just for starters! You also should avoid the other extreme—over-hydration—by overwhelming your body with lots of water all at once. It's best to sip water or other fluids steadily before, during, and after you exercise. And keep a water bottle with you when you're out there doing your workout.
Plan your exercise schedule so that you avoid the hottest part of the day. If you usually take a mid-day run, either switch on those sweltering days to running indoors on a treadmill (ideally in the AC, or at least a cool fan blowing directly at you) or run early in the morning or evening when the sun's not in full force. Check the forecast for the next day so you can plan for extreme heat and humidity, and limit your exposure to the worst heat conditions. Taking a day or two off here and there, when there is an extreme heat warning, is a wise choice.
You can prevent overheating by wearing lightweight, light-colored and moisture-wicking clothing when you work out. Darker colors absorb more sunlight, which converts to heat, and therefore increases your body temperature. Light clothing, on the other hand, reflects light. Moisture-wicking fabrics help to pull the sweat away from your body, so you can cool down faster. Natural fibers such as cotton absorb sweat, and can become heavy, as the water takes time to evaporate—too long during a long run, for example.
Watch out for the early warning signs, which include feeling thirsty, muscle cramps, heavy sweating, and tiredness. Heat exhaustion comes before heatstroke—as a kind of warning. If you're unsure, read more about heat illness, but if you feel any of these, get yourself to a cool place, out of the sun, and remove any extra clothes to help your body cool down more quickly. Drink water or other fluids, and rest. Get yourself to a doctor if you don't feel better within an hour.
Taking care of yourself in the extreme heat is essential. Exercise is supposed to give you energy—not endanger or deplete you. Taking these extra precautions and you can get through the hottest months of the year and still enjoy your exercise routine—safely.

Candidate For Judge Sues: Says Opponent Is Using Phony Name
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but a candidate can't use just any name the ballot, especially in a race for judge.
Using a phony name in a judicial campaign is illegal, alleges Broward Circuit Court candidate Melissa Minsk Donoho.
Donoho is asking the court to keep opponent Jason Allen Rosner from using a fake name in the campaign.
Melissa Minsk Donoho
Jason Allen Rosner suddenly decided that his name should be Jason Allen-Rosner on August's ballot, according to Donoho.
The decision moved his ballot position from last to first in a field of four candidates vying for Circuit Court Group 38. Ballot positions are alphabetical.
Rosner's new name pushes Donoho from first place to second place.
The reason for this con game: Research has found that being listed first is a slight advantage in a low visibility race where many voters know nothing about the candidates.
The other two candidate are Linda Marie Leali and Stephanie Camille Moon, who are not involved in the legal action. The defendant in the case is Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes, who will prepare the ballot.
Donoho's 36-page petition for an injunction in Broward Circuit Court alleges that:
Rosner "decided that his 'middle' name, 'Allen,' will now be his 'last' name, all for the apparent purpose of moving his name on the alphabetically listed election ballot from the last position on the election ballot to the first position on the election ballot. A judicial election ballot is not a scramble to create a name to be listed first like a Yellow Pages listing — 'aa aardvark locksmith.' Such chicanery or flimflam must not be permitted, particularly, in a judicial race where candidates must avoid even an appearance of impropriety…"
Donoho's legal action alleges that using a hyphen between Jason Allen Rosner's middle name and last name is a recent creation for campaign purposes as proven by the following:
Jason A. Rosner was the name the candidate used as a registered voter for the past 21 years.
Jason Allen Rosner is the name he uses with the Florida Bar.
Jason A. Rosner is the name he uses in his legal practice incorporation papers.
Jason Allen Rosner is the name he wrote on some election documents including his financial disclosure filed May 4 with the Division of Elections.
Rosner was the last name he used in various campaigns in 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016.
If these legal allegations are true, Rosner could be investigated by the state Judicial Qualifications Commission for violating the judicial campaign code that requires candidates to have integrity and forbidding them from misrepresenting themselves.
Rosner could also have problems with The Florida Bar at some point.
This whole mess is pathetic.
It is another reason why judges should be appointed rather than elected.

Sam The Sham says:
This is not a reason to have only appointed judges. It is a reason to get rid of that doddering old fool of an Elections Stupervisor, Brenda Methuselah Snipes.
This constant yammering about appointed judges is just another call for elitists to control the judiciary and deny the public from our right to select our judges.
Broward Voter says:
This is reason why Florida should, like many other states, use some type of system such as drawing lots to randomly determine ballot order.
Stormwatch says:
Broward Female judges have been playing the hyphenated name game forever. Jose Diaz-Balart called. Wants to know what the big deal is.
FROM BUDDY:
Jose Diaz-Balart would be listed higher on the ballot without a hyphenated name.
Mud Slinging Melissa Donoho says:
It is unfortunate that Ms. Donoho yet again has to sling mud against an opponent and refuses to try and win on her own merit and resume.
For those who don't remember, prior to filing against Judge Hurley, she practiced under the name Melissa Donoho and then added the "Minsk" in what was probably an attempt to have a Jewish sounding name. That was the year when many candidates with Jewish sounding names challenged incumbents and lost.
http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2010-08-17/news/fl-group-12-judge-endorse-af-0817-20100817_1_seat-bench-criminal-cases
Retain Judge John Hurley for County Court Group 12
Keep Hurley in County Court Group 12 seat
The Sun Sentinel Editorial Board recommends incumbent Judge John Hurley.
Hurley, 49, makes an impassioned case for why he should remain on the bench. Nominated by Gov. Charlie Crist, Hurley has been handling bond cases.
Before joining the bench, Hurley was a state prosecutor, a Navy intelligence officer and a defense attorney. In his presentation to the Editorial Board, Hurley made a compelling and convincing argument that he has the knowledge, the temperament and the passion for the bench.
His opponent, Melissa Beth Minsk Donoho, 45, also has a sound legal background. She has been in private practice the past decade, specializing in criminal cases. She started her career in the Broward State Attorney's Office, where, for a time, she was a colleague of Judge Hurley's.
Donoho's background would make her a viable candidate, but her allegation that Judge Hurley was appointed to the bench because he was a "frat" brother of the governor fell flat. It reflected poorly on her judgment, especially when Hurley effectively refuted the claim. It's simply the kid of mud-slinging that doesn't belong in the judicial elective arena.
Broward voters are urged to retain Judge Hurley on the bench.
A reader says:
Donoho has a point. Rosner's trick with his name is an example of criminal thinking. Who needs a person with that lack of integrity in office?
Another sour rose says:
She's not the only one trying to defraud voters. In Group 36, there is a candidate who filed using the name Shari Beth Africk-Olefson. There is no such person named Shari Africk-Olefson. There is an attorney who is a member of the bar with the name Shari Olefson. Who practices law under the name Olefson. Who has a girlfriend/partner named Pam Africk with whom she shares a home. Did Olefson legally take Africk's name? If not, isn't she just conveniently using that name to get the advantage over her opponent Kristin Padowitz? It's a shame that it takes a lawsuit to get this resolved. The SOE shouldn't let candidates file with fake names.
Long Time Voter says:
This is how it is, Melissa Minsk Donoho:
If you're known and have a good, proven reputation, it wouldn't matter if you're 10th on the ballot. People will vote for you.
If you have friends who will help get your name out there, people will vote for you.
If you're good, nothing else will matter. People will vote for you.
Ha Ha Ha says:
Names aside, Rosner is by far the weakest of the four candidates.
Leali is a strong candidate but also a narrow specialist in bankruptcy, finance & accounting; not sure whether or not she will perform well in other (less mathematical) areas.
Moon is a strong candidate who also brings diversity to the judiciary.
Donoho is a strong candidate and (icing on the cake!) her spouse is a NSU law professor.
Balancing all factors, I think Donoho has a slight edge over Moon, with Leali close behind.
Rosner should just withdraw from this race immediately. Donoho will soon defeat him in court, and vs. these 3 strong opponents Mr. Rosner should get virtually no votes in this race, regardless of what his name is!
Broward Sucks says:
Yes Sam the Sham is right! We deserve the right to vote for a judge whose net worth is NEGATIVE $289,114 so she can sell her rulings to the highest bidder and pay off her debt. Give me a break. Elections, particularly in Broward, are a joke. Check everyone's financials in each race. You will find the biggest loser.
what to know about Donoho says:
Melissa Donoho runs the local office the State of Florida Conflict Counsel Office. A secondary public defenders office. In the last 2 election cycles, 3 or her underlings have run against sitting judges. While there is nothing wrong with that.it sure seems unfair that Melissa and her two lawyers currently running against sitting Judges can campaign on tax payer dime.
Also to note, her lawyer in the Rosner suit, is H. Dohn Williams… If you call Mr. Wiliams at the Conflict office you get the voice mail of an Assistant that says he works for Donoho and Williams.
Looks like representing Donoho was a quid pro quo by Williams whose contract is up July 1.
Are these two going to be litigating this suit on State time?
Judge Hurley Fan says:
I remember your old article on this woman when she ran against Judge Hurley. Didn't like her then and nothing has changed. IMHO Judge Hurley is one of the best Judges in town.
https://www.browardbeat.com/hurley-under-attack-by-former-judge/
Hurley Under Attack By Former Judge
Now we know who is behind the campaign against Broward County Judge Jay Hurley at least one of the Good Ol Boys who lost power at the courthouse two years ago.
The first big donation to Melissa Donoho's campaign against Hurley is $500 from Jay Spechler of Hollywood, the former judge who now describes himself a mediator.
Spechler, an enemy of the current regime at the courthouse, quit two years ago when the then-new Chief Judge Victor Tobin demoted him. Tobin ordered him out of the downtown Fort Lauderdale courthouse to a satellite facility, where he would hear traffic cases.
Hurley was appointed by Gov. Charlie Crist to Spechler's old job.
I guess Spechler is still mad
I wrote the piece because Donoho filed a legal action against her opponent based on an interesting allegation. I still believe that Judge Jay Hurley is a very good judge and deserved to be reelected in that race, which he was.
Hey Broward Sucks says:
You are so right… we should continue to elect billionaires like Trump to the Presidency because he and the rich guys around him have so much money they have no need to whore themselves out as influence peddlers.
Tell The Truth says:
If Judge John Hurley is on a ballot, he gets my vote.
Low Class Melissa Donoho says:
Donoho has evymry right to sue in this matter. It takes a real dirty player to wait until Mr. Allen-Rosner's kick off event when he standing next to his wife and two elementary school children to have the process server crash the event, make a scene and serve him with the lawsuit. Not surprising for a person the sun sentinel called a mud slinger when she ran against Judge Hurley.
If Jose Diaz-Balart was running in this race and removed the hyphen from his name would he be getting sued too?
Trish Bailey-Entin says:
June 3rd, 2018 at 11:31 am
Melissa Donoho is by far the most qualified candidate in this race. If Rosner wasn't hiding in his house for a week and avoiding service, then he wouldn't have been served at his own event. Has anyone realized that even if Rosner wins, he will most likely be removed being in violation of canon 7, unethical behavior? In that event, the seat will go to the governor for appointment. All that time and money wasted campaigning for all the candidates. What a great way to deceive the voters of Broward County, Rosner.
Hey Trish says:
How much work does your firm get from ORCC and Melissa? Melisa better take a look at all the lies she put about Allen-Rosner in her Memorandum of Law. Jason never ran and lost four times and never worked for the Ticket Clinic. It is lies like these by Judge Santino during her campaign that have her about to be removed by the JQC. If Donoho's case is so good how come it was dismissed by the Court this week? How pathetic is it that despite the bs lawsuit, Allen-Rosner was endorsed in the last week by the AFL CIO and Hispanic Vote. Allen-Rosner was previously endorsed by the PBA and the FOP. Looks like most people don't share your view that Melissa is a better choice.
Finally, it is great to see that your grand fundraiser you are hosting for Melissa at Mezzeluna is up to a whopping 10 "attending" on Facebook.
