What You Will Experience Along the Way
A Day In and Around Nazareth
In the morning, we would visit Caesarea-by-the-Sea (pictured) including the area of Paul and his trial before Felix. The story of Cornelius is told with time for Scripture reading and prayer in the amphitheater, followed by inland travel through Wadi Ara and the Jezreel to Sepphoris - the only major city in Galilee's interior when Jesus was a boy. Today it is rich in ruins, especially mosaics, among them the one called the Madonna of the Galilee.
Traveling further toward Nazareth, we head to the Jezreel Valley and stop at Megiddo (Har Megiddo in Hebrew) which gave its name to Armageddon. We will have lunch and a tour at Nazareth Village recreating Nazareth as it might have been in Jesus' day. We always hope to spend time getting acquainted with Jesus' hometown, visiting its spring, also known as Mary's well.
We enjoy a walk through the present-day bazaar (over the site of the ancient village) to the Church of the Annunciation, continue driving through the Jezreel Valley and up the Lower Galilee Hills to Nazareth, and head to Mt. Precipice for an overview of the Jezreel Valley, Mt. Tabor and Nazareth City itself. We then drive to Tiberias passing by Cana where Jesus performed his first sign (John 2).
A Day on the Road to Bethlehem
Our tours typically start on the Mt. of Olives (pictured) with the Old City tilted toward us. After an orientation, we descend the traditional Palm Sunday road to Dominus Flevit ("The Lord weeps"), remembering Jesus' entry (Luke 19). We continue down to Gethsemane (Matthew 26) with a visit to the garden and the church to enjoy some quiet time.
A drive to the church grounds called Peter in Gallicantu will afford us the best view of early Jerusalem from the west. Here, the Assumptionist Fathers believe, was the house where the High Priest Caiaphas interrogated Jesus. We drive south to the region of Bethlehem passing by Rachel's Tomb on the outskirts of the city.
Continuing southeast, we visit Solomon's Pools, Jerusalem's main source of water for almost 2,000 years. Passing the monastery of Hortus Conclusus ("the sealed garden") in Artas, we drive to one of the possible sites for the Shepherds' Fields. Proceeding into Bethlehem itself, we walk through the restored old town to the Church of the Nativity and visit the manger.
That evening often have a special treat - walking through underground tunnels to see the remnants of the Temple Mount of Jesus' day, including hewn stones weighing over 400 tons!
A Day at the Sea of Galilee
We begin with a drive up to the Mount of Beatitudes (Matthew 5-7), continuing to Tabgha where Christians have long remembered the first feeding of the multitude (Mark 6) and nearby, the breakfast of John 21.We enter the Church of Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes and the Church of St. Peter's Primacy. We continue to Capernaum (pictured) where Franciscan archaeologists believe they have uncovered the house of Peter (Mark 1 and 2).
We drive the northern end of the Sea of Galilee heading east and we stop at Beth Saida, which is the fishing village of the Gospels. This village was the hometown of Peter, Andrew, and Philip (John 1:44). Here, as well as Capernaum and Chorazin, Jesus performed most of his miracles, healed a blind man, and cursed all three towns for their failure to repent. In Luke's account, the feeding of the 5,000 occurred in Beth Saida.
We continue driving around the eastern shores of the Sea of Galilee heading south to Ein Gev where we can stop for a St. Peter's Fish lunch. After lunch we drive further south and stop at Kursi in the "Gergesa" of Matthew's Gospel where the evangelist locates the miracle of the swine.
We then see the unearthed ruins of the City of Magdala including admission, ending our day at the moderBaptal site of the Yardenit before heading back for a Sunset Cruise on the Sea of Galilee.
We Cater to Groups of All Kinds and Sizes

About Travelink
TRAVELINK, a Virtuoso member, is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. The company operates nationally with a combination of boutique business call centers, vacation travel retail locations, and a national network of experienced virtual business travel and leisure travel advisors.
Q: When is the best time to visit Israel?
A: We suggest avoiding travel to Israel November through March as that is the rainy season when it can be cold, including the possibility of snow. We also will consider avoiding other specific dates as the Jewish holidays cause many places to close (it may be difficult to find accommodations).
Predicting Israel's weather is difficult due to her many climate zones. For instance, May is the beginning of summer; however, though it may be warm in the south, in the higher elevations like Jerusalem, evenings can still be cool. April is very pretty in Israel, but evenings can still be cool and it can rain. We'll help you choose the right dates for your group's travel plans.
Q: Will our group feel safe in Israel?
A: Absolutely! The most common thing for a first time tourist to Israel to remark upon return is how safe they felt. The reason is that Israelis are more vigilant than most other peoples. There is ample security in most public places in Israel and our national security policies have helped us to minimize the threat of terrorist attacks. Also, you will be touring with experienced tour guides who will never take you anywhere that is risky or considered unsafe. We are always taking stock of the climate in the region and will adjust our itineraries accordingly. Israel has comparatively low levels of crime. Israeli cities are as safe, in many cases safer, than most North American and European cities.
Q: Do we need any specific immunizations prior to travelling to Israel?
A: We recommend having your COVID-19 vaccine prior to travel, but no other immunizations are required. Israel is a developed country with a level of health and hygiene equal to that of the United States. Visitors entering Israel are not required to undergo vaccinations prior to their arrival.
Q: What currency is used in Israel?
A:The equivalent of the dollar is called the New Shekel (NIS). One (1) New Shekel equals 100 agorot, Israel's equivalent to pennies. We included gratuities in our pricing so you don't have to hassle with cash along the tour. Most businesses in Israel accept all major credit cards, and there are ATMs located in convenient locations.

Parishes & Communities
Parish Admin
Op-shops can be found in more than 20 parishes around the Diocese provide low cost clothing, household utensils and furniture to families and individuals within the Community. Our Op Shops are staffed primarily by volunteers and offer a place of welcome for those looking to connect to others and make a difference in their community. In some locations the Op Shop also offers an opportunity for those needing work experience as part of their search for paid employment in conjunction with other organisations and government agencies. The money raised in the Op Shop will primarily go to support the work of the parish and to provide funds to support charities beyond the parish, both locally and further afield.
The benefits to the local community from Op Shops is apparent but the good news goes beyond the local. As well as charitable giving, some of the goods donated will not be sold but rather will be used to supply clothing to three Aboriginal Communities up north, St Bart's Men's Refuge, the Albany Women's Refuge, two Refugee Centres in Darwin, the Mission to Seafarers, as well as families in crisis or distress.
If you would like to visit one of our Op Shops or wish to learn more, please contact the parish within which the Op Shop is located for more details. A list of Op Shops in the diocese is supplied here with links to the parish contact details.

Is there any way to Skype Video Chat with the iP4 front camera yet?
Discussion in 'Jailbreaks and iOS Hacks' started by FitRider42, Aug 8, 2010.
The ladies want me on cam and I always have to say I can't yet ya know?
I don't think Skype has allowed any third party, other than Fring, to use their protocol. So, until Skype updates their own software/client, or lets someone else utilize their protocol, then no.

Multi-Section Digital Axle Counter MSDAC-730P
MSDAC-730P is a multi section digital axle counter system that is designed using the principles of fail-safety and has a two-out-of-three fail safe architecture. It is microcontroller based and has redundant power supply arrangement. Its modular nature allows you to plan your upgrade and extensions without any problem. It is extensible with 8 detections points in a module set. It provides an easy to use GUI for configuration.
It is used for detecting railway track occupancy primarily in a station. It is used for track circuiting a whole station. MSDAC-730P is modular in design and can be used with 40 detection points per chassis. Each detection point has a track sensor that identifies a track section boundary. A track section can be defined with 2/3/4 detection points.
The system consists of the following components:
Axle Detectors
Electronics Field Units
Central Evaluator
SM's Reset Panel
Monitoring Unit
The Central Evaluator of MSDAC-730P has been designed to be modular. The system can be configured for up to 40 field units in steps of 8. Therefore, the system has the provision to scale up or scale down according to the requirement at station.
The Axle Detectors are installed at the limits of a track section along with their electronic field units on track side. The number of detection points is decided based on the tracj circuiting requirement of a station. The field units are connected with Central Evaluator by means of ½ Quad cable. The Central Evaluator is installed at the station and is powered by 24V DC local supply. The field uits are also powered using 24V DC that is dereived from the power source that powers the central evaluator. The Axle Detectors operates on high frequency (21 KHz & 23 KHz) electromagnetic wheel detection technology. When a train wheel passes over the Axle detectors, the change in electromagnetic field is sensed. This change triggers a complex algorithm that decides if a wheel has passed over the axle detector. The Axle detectors and the electronics associated with it is working on the principle of Phase Modulation.
The wheel-detection events are converted into pulses and these pulses are counted by the field units. These countsa re stored as well here. The stored counts as well as the healt of the track sensor are monitored and are continuously transmitted bynthe field unit by means of telegram packets to Central Evaluator on the ½ Quad cable that also powers the field unit. The central Evaluator receives the count from each of the field unit it is connected to and it then takes the decision of the track section is occupied or not. This decision is taken based on 2003 voting logic in a fail safe manner. MSDAC signals the occupancy of the track section by means of an electro-mechanical relay called VR relay. The contacts of VR is used in the signaling circuits of signalling system at the station.
MSDAC has a mechanism to reset a particular track section to recover from an error or a failure condition. This is done through the SM's reset panel. The section is to be physically verified by the SM to be unoccupied and then the reset command is to be given from the reset panel. This command is received by the central evaluator and it then send the command to the respective field units to zero their counts.
It is designed in accordance with the RDSO specification No. Specification No. RDSO/SPN/176/2005 to meet CENELEC SIL-4 standard.


Terrific. This post is an antidote to Martens' fear of losing our history.
This is certainly a part of history that I have to see. Awesome reading.
I used to go here as a kid (mid to late 70's), and still remember it as if it were yesterday. It's a must see. It is a shame about the vandalism, but it has weathered along.
I live right by here, it gives you an eerie feeling walking through those woods. But thank god the history is still alive there, it's truly a beautiful place.
Some of us siblings of Pat were up there yesterday to tend to Pat's grave. His birthday is May 29th. We usually get up there around then.
Curious where this cemetery is. The link for directions doesn't exist anymore.
Wow what a interesting post, I liked it.

Extremophiles Living Organisms in Extreme Circumstances
By: Janet Grischy
Janet Grischy's image for:
"Extremophiles Living Organisms in Extreme Circumstances"
Extremophiles are proof of the toughness and variability of life. They are organisms found in conditions of cold, heat, pressure, dryness or darkness that are unendurable to humans. They can be found in hydrothermal vents deep beneath the oceans, in hot springs, in the dry valleys of Antarctica and in our deepest mines. They live where we cannot.
Most extremophiles are microscopic bacteria or Archaea. Not all are. The Pompeii worm, for example, Alvinella Pompejana, is the most heat tolerant animal on earth. It is about as long as an average hand, and of a fuzzy gray color. It has scarlet gills that resemble tentacles on its head and below that a structure resembling a small ball of yarn, which it uses to snag and feed on passing bacteria. It has a fleecy appearance caused by a shaggy coat of bacteria that live on it, feeding on mucus that the worm secretes for them, and possibly helping to insulate it from the scalding conditions in which it lives. Pompeii worms live in colonies of paper-like tubes on the lip of the mineralized chimneys of hydrothermal vents that release scalding water at the bottom of the ocean. At their tail end, they thrive in temperatures that may reach 176 degrees F. Their tentacled heads are usually in a cooler environment of about 72 degrees F. (22 C.), and it is possible that the worm vents heat from its gills to cool itself.
The Pompeii worm is not the only denizen of hydrothermal vents. They support a whole community of extremophiles. The basis of life there is chemoautotrophic bacteria. These organisms perform chemosynthesis, using the sulfur compounds produced by the hot vent to create food the way plants use water and sunlight for photosynthesis. These bacteria grow in a thick mat, which provides a food base for other members of this community, such as the tube worms, crabs, shrimp and fish. Some of the tiny organisms of this community are aerobic, that is dependent on oxygen produced by distant photosynthesis, but many are anaerobic, and could in theory survive if there were no sun.
Hot springs also shelter hyperthermophiles. In fact, they were first discovered in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park. Many of these organisms are also able to survive conditions of high acidity and high radiation. Most hyperthermophiles need oxygen to carry out their life processes, but at least one, Aquifex pyrophilus, can substitute nitrogen for oxygen and grow without it. Thermus aquaticus, which was discovered in a Yellowstone spring, produces polymerase, the key enzyme in polymerase chain reaction, which is used extensively in investigating DNA.
Another place to find extremophiles is Antarctica. The McMurdo Dry
Valleys are barren of ice and snow. The average annual temperature is 68 degrees below zero. They are whipped by gravity-fed karabatic winds which suck moisture from the exposed gravel. Here, endolithic plants and bacteria live within the rock, drawing sustenance from the trickle of summer melt water. Their lives are so attenuated that the single-celled organisms may divide once in a thousand years or more. Research here gives us an idea of what possible life forms could survive off our kind planet.
These are only a few of the extremophiles earth holds. There are organisms that thrive in extremely salty conditions, halophiles. Acidophiles and alkaliphiles grow in environments that are extremely acid or base. Drilling through volcanic deposits on the island
of Hawaii, geologists believe they have discovered organisms living within rock 4000 feet deep. Extremophiles indeed!

On December 3rd, while visiting Jacmel, the former Haitian Prime Minister Jacques Edouard Alexis has said, the resignation of Michel Martelly could pave the way for an early election in the country. He has also said that he never had an optimistic view to the efficiency of Martelly's Advisory Committee that floored the synthesis of political consultation between 22 September and 24 November 2014 to hold the overdue election. He denounced the method of collecting tax on the population. Alexis said he was dismissed because of inflation and high cost of living. The socioeconomic situation in the country is practically worse compared to his days.

Ohio State suspends Muhammad, Washington for Nebraska game
COLUMBUS, Ohio —
Ohio State has suspended sophomore guards Luther Muhammad and Duane Washington Jr. for its game against Nebraska.
The team announced the suspensions shortly before Tuesday night's game. The reason was cited as "failure to meet program standards and expectations."
Washington has started 11 games and is the team's second-leading scorer, averaging 10.7 points per game. Muhammad has started every game but one and is averaging 6.5 points.
The team did not release any more details or say if the players will miss any more games.
Ohio State (11-5, 1-4 Big Ten) has lost four in a row after starting the season 11-1. The Buckeyes were ranked as high as No. 2 in the AP Top 25 but have dropped to No. 21.

The New Hot Spots Where Americans Are Moving Right NowWhy do people get the overwhelming urge to move in the summer? It's one of those eternal questions, right up there with "Can love really last a lifetime?" and "Why does the Trader Joe's line I'm in always move the slowest?" Maybe the warm weather wanderlust happens because your kids are off from school, or you graduated from college, or perhaps you just got married. Or maybe it's just because it's warm.
For whatever reason, summer is the prime time of year when Americans pull up roots—and find new places to plant them again.
And this moving season is shaping up as one of the busiest in memory. As the economy continues to improve, job markets are opening wide, the sun is shining on folks' financial prospects, and people are on the move.
It's hard not to notice the exodus from New York. The New York metro area has the most escapees—but then again, it's the country's biggest city. So we adjusted for city size and based our calculation on the ratio of inbound to outbound moves to come up with the most desirable cities—where more people are moving in than moving out.
What do these metros have in common? Affordable housing and strong job markets, mostly. Some of these places are just beginning to join the ranks of the housing market's elite class.
For example, we first noticed dark horse Raleigh, NC, back in March when it popped up on our monthly hottest markets report, and then kept its spot in April. It turns out that Raleigh has one of the best job markets in both hiring opportunities and job satisfaction rate, according to Glassdoor.com.
Florida is clearly the top state for new moves, and not just for the blue-haired set. Three central Florida cities make the cut, largely due to unusually strong job creation. Another factor: housing prices haven't fully recovered from the crash yet, so there are plenty of deals to be had. Plus, the state has no income tax.
Not all is rainbows and unicorns, however. A decline in foreign buyers is causing inventory to balloon in southern Florida. But, of course, this has a positive side, too, because it means "there's actually inventory to buy and prices are not rising rapidly as a result of growth in inventory," said Jonathan Smoke, our chief economist.
And then there's the Lone Star State. The San Antonio metro area, home to the Alamo and the NBA's Spurs, was one of the fastest-growing major U.S. metros in 2015, with 2.2% population growth, according to the Census Bureau. About 80 miles away, Austin—the city competing with San Antonio for the hallowed title of "Birthplace of the Breakfast Taco"—is officially home to 2 million people, according to Census data. That's about eight times its population a half-century ago when IBM opened a facility that set the stage for the tech boom.
Austin now counts Apple, Google, Facebook, Intel, and Samsung among its top employers. But those who want to keep Austin weird have no need to despair: Hipsters, indie music, turtle racing, and a famous tower of junk still co-exist in harmony.
Leaving New York, rather than moving to it, has established itself as a solid trend—getting away from the harsh winters, harsher summers, high taxes, exorbitant cost of living, and bad-tempered hot dog vendors. (And also the excitement, the glamour, the beautiful people, and the city that never, ever sleeps.) On the West Coast, where a San Francisco shack is going for $1.38 million, soaring home prices are pushing locals out and scaring away potential new ones.
Where are they going? As you can see in the map above, New Yorkers are mostly moving to Florida. San Franciscans opt for cheaper cities away from the coast (but not outside California), and Angelenos head to Las Vegas. And everyone is moving to Texas! Must be the breakfast tacos.
Of course, what you need in a hometown varies at different stages of your life. A bedroom community in Arizona may represent perfection for baby boomers, but soul-crushing boredom for millennials. To find out where the up-and-coming generation is setting its sights, we sliced and diced our own cross-metro search data—people searching realtor.com for homes outside the area where they live—by age group.
Worth calling out: Oklahoma City. More and more young, educated 25- to 34-year-olds choosing between the opportunities and excitement of city life and the affordability and warmth of a small town seem to be finding this growing city in the Great Plains to be the perfect compromise. WalletHub declared it the seventh best city to start a career, taking into account factors such as availability of entry-level jobs, median starting salary, economic mobility, and workforce diversity. Oh, and there's the Thunder, too.

Базалиома — опухоль из базального слоя эпителия кожи, одна из разновидностей рака кожи. Развивается из атипичных базальных клеток эпидермиса и фолликулярного эпителия. По злокачественности занимает промежуточное положение между доброкачественными и злокачественными опухолями. Не даёт метастазов.

Заболеваемость
К основным причинам возникновения базалиомы относятся длительное пребывание на солнце, воздействие высоких температур и ионизирующего излучения, воздействие канцерогенных веществ (мышьяка, смолы, дегтя, сажи, некоторых красителей). Чаще всего встречается в возрасте после пятидесяти лет, но в очень редких случаях может появляться у детей и подростков. У мужчин и женщин встречается с одинаковой частотой.

Клиническая картина
Базалиома как правило возникает на открытых кожных покровах, обычно — на лице, шее, волосистой части головы. Чаще всего поражаются носогубные складки, крылья носа, верхняя губа, внутренние и наружные уголки глаз, виски.

Различают следующие виды базалиомы:
Узелковая базалиома — экзофитная округлая опухоль розового цвета, легко кровоточит. В центре узла наблюдается углубление.
Плоская базалиома — бляшковидное новообразование с приподнятыми чёткими валикообразными краями.
Поверхностная базалиома — розовое пятно с приподнятыми краями и блестящей поверхностью. Локализуется на туловище, нередко в виде множественных образований. Из всех форм наиболее доброкачественная — может существовать десятилетиями, лишь медленно увеличиваясь в размерах.

По Международной гистологической классификации базалиомы подразделяются на следующие виды:
поверхностный мультицентрический;
склеродермальный;
фиброзно-эпителиальный.

Наиболее распространена узелковая форма базалиомы, из которой образуются все остальные формы. Опухоль часто сопровождается образованием эрозий и язв. Новообразование обладает преимущественно местнодеструирующим ростом и не даёт метастазов.

Вначале на коже лица появляется безболезненный узелок, который изъязвляется и покрывается корочкой. Постепенно в течение нескольких месяцев или лет узелок растёт вширь, сопровождается образованием язв. Опухоль становится дольчатой, на её поверхности возникают телеангиэктазии.

С течением времени базалиома превращается в большую (свыше 10 см) плоскую бляшку с шелушащейся поверхностью, в выступающий над поверхностью кожи грибовидный узел либо в глубокую язву, разрушающую подлежащие мышечные ткани и кости.

Диагностика и клиническая классификация
Диагностика базалиомы заключается на цитологическом исследовании опухоли и ввиду её доступности обычно не составляет труда.
T — первичная опухоль
Тх — недостаточно данных для оценки первичной опухоли.
Т0 — первичная опухоль не определяется.
Tis — преинвазивная карцинома (carcinoma in situ).
T1 — опухоль до 2 см в наибольшем измерении.
Т2 — опухоль до 5 см в наибольшем измерении.
Т3 — опухоль более 5 см в наибольшем измерении.
Т4 — опухоль, прорастающая в глубокие экстрадермальные структуры, хрящ, мышцы, кости.

Лечение
Применяются следующие способы лечения базалиом:

 лучевой,
 хирургический,
 комбинированный,
 лекарственный,
 криогенный,
 лазерный.

Лучевое лечение практикуют в начальных стадиях базалиом, облучая её короткофокусным рентгеновским излучением в СОД 50-75 Гр.

Хирургическим способом лечат базалиомы небольших размеров.

Комбинированное лечение применяется в далеко зашедших (III—IV) стадиях, когда новообразование сначала облучается в дозах 45-50 Гр, после чего иссекается в пределах здоровой кожи. Этим способом также лечат рецидивы базалиомы.

Лекарственный способ лечения заключается воздействием малых доз цитостатических препаратов (проспидина, спиробромина, циклофосфамида).

При криогенном способе опухоль замораживают до температуры −20 °C, иногда — в сочетании с ультразвуковым воздействием, усиливающим эффект криотерапии. Криодеструкция опухоли может выполняться амбулаторно, не требует анестезии и почти не имеет противопоказаний.

Лазерная терапия применяется ограниченно и лишь к небольшим опухолям.

Прогноз
При лечении базалиомы прогноз благоприятный. Полному излечению поддаётся 90 % случаев базалиомы, а в случае локальных форм — почти 100 %. В случае запущенных язвенных форм возможно прорастание базалиомой костей черепа, что значительно ухудшает прогноз.

Дефекты кожи и хрящей после удаления опухоли замещают кожной пластикой.

Back in 2014 Theatre503 announced the winners of its inaugural playwriting award which saw joint winners Bea Roberts and Paul Murphy each receive £6,000.

Now the Theatre503 Playwriting Award is back for its second awards session and will open for entries from 1st – 29th February 2016. Given that last time there were over 1,600 applications from 42 countries, the number of entrants is only likely to increase, especially given the critical attention that the award has received over the last year.

FYI doubled down on the small-space realty trend, renewing Tiny House Nation for its second season and picking up new series Tiny House Hunting.
John Weisbarth and renovation expert Zack Giffin host Tiny House Nation. The docuseries follows the two as they explore and create mini-homes across America all no larger than 500 square feet.
The freshman show is up 37% in total viewers compared to last year's time slot, Wednesdays at 10 p.m., before BIO channel rebranded into FYI.
Tiny House Hunting will follow couples looking for a micro-abode of their own. Each family will see three houses and then choose which one to move into.
"FYI opened viewers' eyes to the cultural phenomenon of dramatically downsizing with Tiny House Nation and we'll delve deeper into that process with Tiny House Hunting," said Gena McCarthy, SVP of programming and development for the network.
Both shows are produced by FYI and Loud TV and will have 13-episodes for their upcoming seasons.

Speakers inspire student leaders
Jenna Zucker
The Queen's Canadian Leadership Conference (QCLC) saw 11 Canadian leaders, four Queen's alumni and two television personalities come together to inspire students to incite social change across the world.
The opening ceremony introduced the theme of breaking barriers — the idea that you should stop at nothing in order to achieve your dream. This theme weaved its way through each of the keynote speakers' and panelists' personal stories, culminating in an incredible two-day conference.
The weekend kicked off with the fun, motivating and incredibly fashionable MuchMusic VJ Sarah Taylor. After undergoing a "spiritual epiphany" following a near-death experience from a brain injury, Taylor highlighted the "power of adversity" in bringing about significant change.
As a VJ, Sarah harnessed her relationships and resources to make emotional videos that allowed her audience to "learn about the little guys" that she hopes to help. For example, Sarah travelled to Ethiopia with Plan Canada to document and raise awareness for families suffering from drought and malnourishment.
By airing her experience on MuchMusic, Taylor reached out to a demographic that wouldn't necessarily be aware of these issues otherwise. She goes above her own job description to report on what she feels is important.
Already feeling empowered, the delegates welcomed the next keynote speaker: Jay Rosenthal. As the Program Director of Public Impact Lab, he explained the harsh reality that people are more likely to do positive things in the world when there's a personal incentive involved.
He paralleled this statement with an example of young people being reluctant to vote, but if bribed with a free beer in exchange for their vote, turnout would be much higher.
Rosenthal pointed out that people looking to effect social change work within this model. For example, Rexall sponsored a free flu shot in Uganda for every flu shot they gave in Canada.
Next up was Canadian Armed Forces veteran and Amazing Race competitor Jody Mitic. While on his tour of duty in Afghanistan, Mitic lost both of his feet after stepping on a landmine.
Mitic spoke about his journey to get his life back on track after the tragedy and all the accomplishments he achieved. For example, he's a marathon runner and outspoken advocate for veterans' rights.
The audience was riveted by Mitic. His story was a concrete example of what people are capable of if they're prepared to persevere.
As the first black Canadian woman to win a medal at the Olympic winter games, bobsledder Shelley-Ann Brown passed on some valuable advice during a panel discussion.
"Pursuing your passion is 100 per cent of who you are," Brown said.
"Whatever the thing is you love to do, you can't regret doing it with 100 per cent of the effort."
In other words, any time spent working towards a goal is always worth it. Brown explained the importance of doing what you love in order to live a fulfilling life, a sentiment that truly inspired the whole room.
Other speakers and panelists included Jan Caruana, Asad Chishti, Tim Evans, Maria Nasr, Wendy Cherwinski and Blair Adamache, all of whom were equally motivational.

Sometimes, an inactive statement is action too


Because it sums up a whole forgotten history. Because you introduced your characters. I have never begun a novel with more misgiving. If you don't follow step one, be open. By convention, your main ideas statement provides the transition between your introduction and the rest of your text. Some introductions, however, may require a short transitional sentence at the end to flow naturally into the rest of your essay. The next part of your introduction explains to your reader how that hook connects to the rest of your essay.
His agent is Paula Munier at Talcott Notch. He manipulates the fiction and leaves us questioning the account of the narrator. In fact, I thought of it immediately when I read the headline to this article. I want a list of last lines too! However, it shouldn't be so broad that you confuse the reader. The towers of Zenith aspired above the morning mist; austere towers of steel and cement and limestone, sturdy as cliffs and delicate as silver rods. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye Can you find it in your heart to forgive this young man his grievously bad attitude? How did you feel about the way the story is introduced on screen? An appealing voice achieves an intimate connection — a bond much stronger than the kind forged, intellectually, through crafted writing.
Titania and Oberon, the immortal Queen and King of the Fairies, live under a hill in a modern city park. This email introduction sample from Yesware Sales Development Representative who used all three persuasive elements to ask for an introduction. He used his selections to reinforce this call. It's perfectly normal to write your introduction before the rest of your text. When a teenage girl stays home, trying to exude angst and resentment, something she has set in motion leads her to a horrifying moment.
But until you write the first two drafts, polishing is probably a waste of your time. However, you're still moving to your main idea sentence, where you'll specify just what genes you plan to cover. Why It Works: The first line is wrought with irony, setting the breezy, sardonic tone that so distinguishes Pride and Prejudice from its contemporaries. They are: 1 , Amy Hempel 2 , Neil Gaiman opens as a. Numbers 3 and 8 are, of course, awesome.
Gaiman and Chandler would probably pop into my top 20. Every detail works together here to render Nabokov's testament to the illusiveness of love and memory, and a reader's patience is richly rewarded. Banks, The Crow Road 1992 50. Start with the basics -- what do you think about the topic? He has won contests at ChiZine and One Buck Horror, and has received five Pushcart Prize nominations to date. This casual disinterest in creating a reliable history is one of the things that makes Slaughter-house Five such a fun, intriguing read. Draw your reader in gradually. In this Article: The introduction of your essay serves two important purposes.
Sometimes, when you're beginning your text, you may not know exactly all the points you want to make. Shattuck's facility with prose makes this a funny, winning story, even as it is a bitter and sad one: a clever and unique creation that will stay with you long after you're done reading. He is well known for his abilities to apply the Word of God to daily life, even though much of his work is not attributed to him. Such a bittersweet story, this one, as many of the best ones are. That signals to the professor that you don't have an argument of your own. What is a book if not a bridge across the dimension of time, allowing one to revisit the past and envision the future? Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn't know what I was doing in New York.
But, what I most appreciate about our speaker, is you can count on him to constantly and continually exalt Christ every time he speaks. Within just the first five minutes, there are at least five factors that work together to give the film an unforgettable introduction: 1. The proliferation of visual media, its ready access Netflix, YouTube, etc. One page of an order is 275 words per page, Times New Roman font 12pt, double-spaced. I love Jane Austen — Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite books.
I love learning new things and getting good at them. Lewis, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader 1952 48. After you've set up the context within which you're making your argument, tell your readers the point of your essay. Your first draft is a discovery process. Keep your introduction short and simple.
Introduce some kind of action to get the story going. This curious, masterful story is about a set of brothers who work as managing engineers overseeing the Chernobyl power station on April 26, 1986, but, as with most of Shepard's work, it's also about the invisible planets of loss that our personal lives orbit. We want to learn more. Write Good Dialogue comes from two things: intimate knowledge of your characters and lots of rewriting. Why It Works: The central theme of Peter and Wendy lies within these six simple words.

For Bill Bigos, assistant professor of behavioral sciences and education with Penn State Harrisburg, educational technology should meet a few criteria, such as addressing a specific need and ease of use. Bigos has found that the collaborative online application VoiceThread meets those criteria.
VoiceThread is basically a sharable multimedia slide show that allows the user to include documents, images, and video. The VoiceThread creator can share this multimedia with friends and colleagues. Those who are included in the share list can then navigate the pages and leave comments in five ways. These include voice either with a computer mike or telephone; text; audio file; or video via a web cam.
VoiceThread also is not software that students would have to download onto their computer, since it is an online application. Therefore, they can use VoiceThread on any computer.
Bigos is part of the teaching and curriculum masters program, which is delivered to students face-to-face at the York and Harrisburg campuses, and online to the Beaver and New Kensington campuses. He has used VoiceThread in EDUC 586 Education Research Design and EDUC 591 Education Seminar.
Bigos uses other technologies for teaching, including ANGEL, Skype, Jing, and Google Docs. While Google Docs is a collaborative tool, he described VoiceThread as one step above Google Docs.
Bigos gave an example of how he uses it in the classroom. "Let's say a student uploads her paper and I assign two or three other people to work collaboratively with her. When she uploads it, it sends an invite to those three people and you get the invite via e-mail," he said. "You click on a link in the e-mail and you can view that person's paper anytime you would like to. You can do peer editing and offer peer feedback on the papers.
Bigos said he decided to start using VoiceThread after reviewing a lot of different technologies. "VoiceThread meets a need. To me, it was perfect," he said.
VoiceThread is free: "The basic version is, anyway, it has some limitations but you can use it in the classroom regardless," Bigos said.
Ease of use: "VoiceThread is actually written for an 8- to 10-year-old to be able to use," Bigos said.
Relevance to a student's future career: "We try to use technology that teachers and other people will be able to use in their own jobs and their own classrooms," Bigos said.
Students like it: "I get very positive response from students because they actually use it," Bigos said.
One minor drawback of the free version of VoiceThread is students having to invite people so they can get online and review a VoiceThread. While he has access to up to 50 student VoiceThreads and he assigns students to VoiceThreads, he would like easier sharing options. "That's one of the reasons this year I put it in the budget to upgrade it," Bigos noted.
Bigos said that he will continue to use VoiceThread in his class, and hopefully expand the use of it some. The students will use it for peer editing, and he will also continue to use it in face-to-face classes.
For those interested in using VoiceThread in their classes, Bigos offered some advice and help.
"We are always looking for new tech, looking for new ways to use the existing tech. If any would like to get in contact with me with other ideas or would like to learn, I would be happy to do talk to them," Bigos said. "We did that last year with some of my colleagues who did not use VoiceThread. I asked students to include them as member of the groups so they could learn what was going on.

Some Super and Some Not So Much
Posted by Chris Doelle | Sep 9, 2007 | Movie Reviews & TV | 0 |
Superbad was surprisingly good. I always view this type of film with skepticism because they are rarely average – the norm is for them to be either super bad or super good. If ever a film had the wrong title, it was Superbad.
The story of high school goofs trying to score with hot girls is certainly not new and this was true to the formula. Where Superbad parts way with many "coming of age" flicks is that it is uproariously funny. Sure, there's some bad language. Sure, there's some low brow humor. But isn't that was high school is all about? Seth Rogan's story however, resonates with a realism that makes the most insane situation seem plausible.
The character of McLovin/Fogell played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse is one of the best I have seen in awhile. This one ranks up with there with any film in this genre.
The Simpson's Movie has to be the worst episode of the show ever. It was like pulling teeth watching this thing. In a typical television episode there are three or four interesting stories all intertwined, amazing sight gags, excellent and witty one-liners both up-front and in the subtext. In short, the television show is bullets.
The transition to the big screen was not kind. There was less intelligent writing across an hour and a half than in a typical thirty minute show. The supporting cast was entirely wasted – you think with three times the show length, they could fit in a joke or two involving someone other than Homer. Even the color seemed to be more pastel and less lively than normal.
Blood Diamond was another film that surprised me. Leonardo DiCaprio is an actor I have really tried to dislike. The problem is that he keeps putting in excellent performances. I'll admit it – I think Leo is a damn fine actor.
The story of blood diamonds is nothing new as I have seen numerous documentaries and yeah, the character of Maddy Bowen played by Jennifer Connelly is standard tough-girl reporter stereotype, but DiCaprio and an amazing performance by Djimon Hounsou (Soloman Vandy) sealed the deal. The editing was sharp. The directing was flawless. It is a well told story that keeps you interested right up until the cliche ending. Had it not been forced to fit the Hollywood script mold, this could have been one of the great ones.

Tipping culture in the United States is a mess. In fact, it's perfectly legal for many employers to pay restaurant servers and bartenders less than minimum wage. There are just seven states where tipped and non-tipped employees have the same minimum wage.
Below you can read more about the history of tipping in America, and just how broken our current system really is.

Edit Maria Ekman, född 12 maj 1877, död 28 juli 1971 i Solna, var en svensk prostinna och välgörare. Edit Ekmans plats i Solna kyrkby är uppkallad efter henne.

Biografi

Edit Ekman kom 1925 till Solna där hennes man, Karl Ekman, tillträdde tjänsten som kyrkoherde i Solna församling. Tiderna var svåra och för att hjälpa de nödställda i församlingen startade hon ett upprop i Stockholmstidningarna och i Solna kyrka där hon inbjöd människor att skänka kläder, möbler och husgeråd.

På uppmuntring av ärkebiskop Nathan Söderblom tog hon under 1930-talet initiativ till bildandet av S:t Martins Förening vars syfte var att hjälpa Solnas många fattiga, framför allt barn. 1936 anordnade prinsessan Sibylla en stor insamling som inbringade 66 000 kronor och blev grunden till Prinsessan Sibyllas S:t Martinstiftelse.

Verksamheten ökade i snabb takt och snart samlades ett 80-tal kvinnor i prästgården för att hjälpa till. Föreningen behövde mera plats och lät renovera kyrkstallarna (nuvarande Sankt Martinsgården) där sedermera olika verksamheter organiserades, exempelvis skomakeri, snickeri och en motorkurs för blivande chaufförer. Edith Ekman ledde verksamheten till 1948. Ända fram till 1960-talet fungerade byggnaden som ett yrkesgymnasium i Solna.

Edith Ekman vilar tillsammans med sin make och dotter på Solna kyrkogård. För att hedra hennes minne döpte Solna kyrkoråd år 2016 grönområdet mellan Sankt Martinsgårdens stall och lada till Edit Ekmans plats.

Home » Victorian Authors List » Robert Frost Biography » The Fire and Ice
"Fire and Ice" is one of the famous poems by the grand poet Robert Frost. This is a very short kind of poem that consists of nine lines. When the poem is first published it comes along with other poems.
In the year 1920, it was published in Harper's Magazine. Later Robert Frost wins an award called Pulitzer Prize for writing this short poem.
The figure of expression that the poet produces is very significant and also hard. In some lines expressing thoughts is very stiff that Robert Frost can express.
"Fire and Ice" is one of his best poems that is known as an anthologized poem. One of Frost's critics opines that,
"poetry gets to be the poetry of life by successfully
becoming first the poetry of poetry",
Fire and Ice Theme
Fire and Ice Summary
Fire and Ice Analysis and Lyrics
Fire and Ice by Robert Frost Tone
Fire and Ice Literary Analysis
The central theme of the poem is the future is in a question. Some say that earth will die with fire and some say the earth will end with ice. This is a conflict that arises in the context.
Nobody knows what is going to happen with the world. According to the poet, fire stands for human desire, love, and solace. Fire is the sentiments and emotion of life.
On the other hand, ice stands for human destruction, hate, devastation, etc. So, the central theme of the poem is the conflict between fire and ice.
Fire and Ice both are different elements of the world if Ice comes fore gets faded. So the power of these factors is the meaning of this poem.
This a very relevant poem that connects the worldly system with human life. If a reader gives consent to the poetry then will surely get to know about the human race and desires of life. In the first line,
"Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice."
The poet is concerned about the death of the world and he wants to know how the world die. Many people opine that the world will die in a fire and some utter it will die in ice.
So this is a diplomatic situation that the poet has come with. Poet even wants to know what will be done to the earth. Then the poet also says that from that statement the poem achieved desired.
Till now what is the motive of the poet is not very clear. But the poet says that he achieved desire.
"I hold with those who favor fire."
By this line, the poet is enunciating with the condition of the poet. He is holding these desires, love, solace, emotion, etc. that have "favor" fire. Favour means the assistant fire that the poet can absorb. But if the poet had to destroy twice then,
"I think I know enough of hate"
These two lines are very relevant to the poem. If the had to destroy the twice then he knows well that there is enough of hate everywhere.
So, 'ice' is being compared with the poet's darkest part where hate, destruction, ego lies. Suddenly, the poet changes the context from the end of the world to human life.
The poet has a keen phobia on ice. Even in the next lines he also speaks on the destruction. He explains ice as great destruction to life. There no valid logic why he is saying that ice has a destructive influence on human-kind.
"And would suffice."
It would suffice to the poet because he does not care for the world as his heart is filled with hatred. Throughout the poem, Robert Frost has made a very elegant comparison with the world and human sentiments.
In this poem, a reader will find that the poet has a love for 'fire' and hatred for 'ice'. But according to the Bible, 'fire' is the symbol of 'Inferno' or hell.
The poem Fire and Ice
The 'fiery lake proves that fire is an expression of cry or sorrow. Though the poet does not utter the same. One explanation can come to the context, as the poet lives in a cold place, 'fire' was love to him.
Most of his poems are contained with an icy background that is why the poet wants warmth. When the poet starts talking about human life, a human race among the lives also has come out.
All the man and women have desires and peace in their lives. And all the poet also have sorrow and destruction in life. It works like human-being are going through the sorrow. Everyone has sorrow in life.
The rhyming pattern of the poem is 'aba abc bcb' and the written in iambictetra meter.
Symbolism is a common literary device in the case of 'Fire and Ice' poem. 'Fire' is the symbolism desire and love for other men and women.
Then comes Anaphora. Anaphora is the repetition of the same words in the starting lines one after another. Here is the example,
Alliteration is the other literary device. It means, repetition of vowel sounds in a single line.
Enjambment is a common literary device that can be found here. Enjambment is everywhere that is continuing the thoughts of the poet.
Not the end, the poet also uses imageries to the context. 'Fire' and 'ice' are the imagery that is being shown. These are all kinds of literary devices.
What is the message of Fire and Ice by Robert Frost?
Destruction of the world is the central message of the poem.
What does ice symbolize in fire and ice?
Ice symbolizes the destruction, hatred, greed, rigidity towards the world.
What does fire stand for in the poem Fire and Ice?
Fire stands for human sentiments like Love, solace.
Which is more powerful fire or ice?
According to the poet, both are equal.

Phillips Receives Clemente Award
CINCINNATI — Brandon Phillips today was named the Reds' recipient of the 2008 Roberto Clemente Award presented by Chevy. He is one of 30 Major League Club nominees for the national 2008 Roberto Clemente Award, which is given annually to the Major League Baseball player who combines outstanding skills on the baseball field with devoted work in the community. Tomorrow will mark the seventh annual Roberto Clemente Day, which was established by Major League Baseball in 2002 to honor the legacy of Roberto Clemente, and Phillips will be honored in a pregame ceremony.
The Roberto Clemente Award presented by Chevy, is part of Chevy's official sponsorship of Major League Baseball, and recognizes those players who best represent the game of baseball through sportsmanship, community involvement and positive contributions to their teams. The award is named for Clemente, a 12-time All-Star and Hall of Famer who died on New Year's Eve 1972 while attempting to deliver supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua. This award perpetuates Clemente's legacy and character by recognizing current-day players who truly understand the value of helping others.
Fans are encouraged to participate in the selection of the national winner of the Roberto Clemente Award presented by Chevy. From September 3rd through October 5th, 2008, fans can log on to www.chevy.com/clemente and vote for one of the 30 Club nominees.
Since arriving in Cincinnati in 2006, Brandon has emerged as one of the Reds' top players on the field and in the community. In 2008, he contributed $25,000 to help restore a baseball field at Clark Montessori School in Winton Place. The new complex will be known as "Brandon Phillips Field" and will serve as the home for Cincinnati's RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) program as well as for all Clark Montessori varsity and junior varsity baseball home games. Phillips has participated in school visits, Reds Heads Kids Club activities, the Reds Rookie Success League, the Reds winter caravan and Redfest.
The fan vote winner will be tallied as one vote among those cast by the selection panel, which includes Vera Clemente, wife of the late Hall of Famer, and Baseball Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig. Participating fans automatically will be registered for a chance to win a trip to Game Three of the 2008 World Series, where the national winner of the Roberto Clemente Award presented by Chevy will be announced.
As the official sponsor of the Roberto Clemente Award, Chevy will donate $7,500 to the charity of choice of each of the 30 Club recipients. Chevy also will donate $30,000 and a Chevy vehicle to the national winner's charity of choice and an additional $30,000 will be donated by Chevy to Roberto Clemente Sports City, a not-for-profit organization in Carolina, Puerto Rico, designed to provide recreational sports activities for children.
