With the support of the funding, a cross-border portal will be launched for the first time to increase the visibility of regional dance events and facilitate information exchange about the art form through image, text and film.
The pilot project will initially cover the cities of Aachen and Heerlen. The intention is to expand it during the next phase to include the cities of Maastricht and Liège, using funding from the Netherlands and Belgium, and then to expand the portal to become TANZwebEUREGIO (working title), to cover the entire Maas-Rhine region.
The cities of Aachen and Heerlen draw attention for their productions, festivals and guest performances, and local dance practitioners are engaged in intensive cross-border networking. A TANZweb platform for Aachen and Heerlen, and in the medium and long term for the wider Maas-Rhine region, would provide effective and powerful structures to amplify and publicise this potential in the cities, the region and further afield. Funding would allow for the current bilingual articles in English and German to be translated into Dutch and French.
A key factor for success is the artistic quality of the dance films and photography being created, as well as the journalistic quality of the reviews, their diversity of perspective and the quality of the translations. One of the project's goals is therefore to build a network of critics and filmmakers from and in the region, if possible in collaboration with local training centres. The more cities can be included, the more quickly this goal will be achieved.
Once a start has been made in this region, a TANZweb for the Netherlands and Belgium, analogous to that currently present in North Rhine-Westphalia, will be created one step at a time.

Nikki Cummings outlined plans for the building at the corner of Green and F St.
On Oct. 8 the Tehachapi Planning Commission was finally able to give the go-ahead to Rudy Ramirez for the development of the old Moose Lodge at 123 West F St. The Commission had been unable to reach a quorum at their two prior meetings. Ramirez plans to develop the facility as a restaurant, meeting facility and venue for parties and weddings. Ramirez said that the facility will have amplified music at which time he agreed the outside doors will be closed. All events must end by 11 p.m. Commissioner White had to recuse himself from voting as his house is across the street. Development Services Director Jay Schlosser apologized to Ramirez for the voting delay and approval passed 3-0.
Also receiving a green light from the Planning Commission was the development of the building at 122 S. Green St. , the prior home of the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store. The store has been purchased by Mountain Top R.E. Holding, LLC who presented a concept plan for the location. Appearing on behalf of Mountain Top, Nikki Cummings outlined the project and answered questions adding "we have a real vision for this space."
Approximately a third of the building is planned to be a cafe serving healthy whole food and a cold pressed juice bar. Roll-up doors will open onto Centennial Plaza. The majority of the remaining space will be a co-work space. It will offer private offices as well as offices, work spaces and meeting rooms that can be rented on a daily basis to people who work from home and need meeting space without the overhead of a private office. The space is planned to include a breakroom, coffee and refreshments, utilities, printer services and a receptionist among other amenities. Cummings said that, space permitting, they are also considering a beauty bar on the lower floor.
"This is just the kind of revitalization we have been looking for," said Jay Schlosser, adding that it will be great for telecommuters. Projects like this "are the hallmark of a vibrant town," he added.
"This is a proud day for our city," said Michelle Vance who in the past has worked for both Mainstreet Tehachapi and the City.
Schlosser presented and the Commission approved a new updated Capital Hills Specific Plan replacing the original 1989 plan and bringing it into compliance with the City Master Plan. Recent developments have made the old plan obsolete. These include the hospital and plans for the High Speed Rail. Schlosser said that the Capital Hills area was originally planned to be a "technopolis" before the bubble burst in 2008. Areas currently unzoned will become agriculture and open space and the remaining is now divided into seven sections of mixed residential and commercial. As the High Speed Rail is currently slated to run through the middle, a version had to be presented accounting for that as well.
The Planning Commission also approved the fourth project, the expansion of a light maintenance service building at Love's Truck Stop.

Sweet, ang He's a better fighter...but she has all the weapons.

Even though she's everything he's told himself he can't have, Hudson can't help but want her. She's a fiery, unpredictable paradox with hidden wounds as deep as his own, and a wicked roundhouse kick he's gotten mighty acquainted with.

Good romance.
This series is full of great romance stories. Each book is a complete novel with no cliffhanger. The characters are great with lots of emotion. The writing style is easy to follow and focuses on the story details rather than a lot of steamy scenes. I would recommend the whole series.

Hudson Reyes is former U.S. Army Special Forces and injuries from combat force him to retire from the military earlier than he wanted. Hudson is now a movie industry fight scene choreographer and a weapons specialist. It helps him keep one foot in front of the other and fills his endless days. Until he sees the woman from his friends wedding, the woman who he couldn't take his eyes off of and this time he will get her name.
Liana Lin is an antique arms authenticator who has trained at martial arts her whole life. Lia's past is filled with traumatic events that has shaped her into the observant, scrappy, take no BS, woman that she is today. She may look sweet and innocent but Lia wrecks Hudson from the inside out with just one look, one laugh and brings him to his knees watching her perform that "A1" roundhouse kick of hers. Sparring with Lia turns him on like nothing has in a long long time. She's feisty and unpredictable, has wounds that she tries to hide...just like him.
However, Hudson feels like he isn't good enough for her, can't have her, but he wants her anyway. Can Lia in between all the tussles take him down for a life time of love? ...more

This review was originally posted to Jen in Bookland
I loved Love, Tussles, and Takedowns. Hudson and Lia are amazing together. Where they both end up by the end of the book is just perfect. Such a great read.
Lia is this strong, tough, girl. She is the bouncer for the local bar, she is an antique arms authenticator, she does kickboxing and martial arts, she is just amazing. She is small, but man you do not want to mess with her. Loved her.
Hudson is trying to figure out his new life outsi This review was originally posted to Jen in Bookland
Hudson is trying to figure out his new life outside the military. He was forced to retire when he was injured before he was ready. Now he is working on films helping with the fight scenes and weapons expert. He has a bit of PTSD and just not really dealing with what happened to him well. He is just kind of existing until he sees Lia at a friends wedding. When he runs into her again at an antique arms convention he is intrigued.
One of my favorite things about this book is how much Hudson loves Lia for her strength. How he admired her for her skills and knowledge of things. How he is just in awe of her as a person. He spars with her, they fight, and he doesn't always win. He loves that and I love that about him. I love how he can appreciate someone who is so strong and able. She has some issues to deal with herself, but he is so sweet with her. He helps her work through some things that she didn't even know she wanted or needed. He helps clear some things up for her and he is just amazing with her.
Hudson has some injuries that made it so he could no longer be in the military. He has some things to deal with regarding that last mission that injured him. He carries a lot around with him and Lia is the perfect person to share some of that weight. She helps him in more ways than he could have imagined. They didn't think there could ever be anything long term between them since he works on movie sets and is stationed all over all the time, but man I am so glad they figure it all out in the end.
"Hudson, anything with you and the word 'home' in it sounds better than perfect to me."
And it makes me wonder if what Lia and her brother came up with to help Hudson and people like him - do these places actually exist? Is what she did something returning soldiers have access to? This book made me want to look into more what resources there are for injured returning soldiers. Really amazing.
Oh there is one other thing. I have absolutely no idea how Lia puts up with her brothers. There is protective, there is over protective, then there are her brothers. She wears a watch that signals them of her mood every second of the day with alarms if she seems upset. Really? Why would you ever wear that? I would not have been able to handle that. That is way too overprotective for me. And too invasive. I can see with her past she might have had some issues, but man. That was a bit much, but she doesn't seem to think so. And Hudson deals with it too. It was just like woah, I would not be able to handle that. I would be getting them to back off. I know they do it because they care, but it was way over the top for me. But if they don't mind then I guess I shouldn't either.
Overall another great read. I love how the author writes and handles every situation. I love the characters and the town and I just am always left wanting more. Amazing. ...more

They are adorable, trying to take it slow but getting turned on at the slightest noise, roundhouse kick, and tap out. Liana, the heroine, seems like she has all of her trauma behind her, but there is something that she didn't really know wasn't resolved.

Hudson has a deeply buried misery that when it rears it's ugly head - it's ... well ugly. This torment is more difficult to resolve. "Love, Tussles, and Takedowns" takes place in a quirky small town with Saturday Markets that have giant Lincoln Logs and colorful picnic blankets rather than tables scattered through the park. It also opts to have a cereal bar instead of a sundae bar. Liana's brothers are compelling. There is Caine the overprotective Police Officer. Gabe is the tech genius that Lo-Jacks cell phones and can make watches that monitor heart rate and mood and even match a playlist accordingly. Max is more of a Gamer guy who Betas the games before release. But they are funny as Hell and can charm the pants off of you. Liana and Hudson go through a lot of trials which allow them to be able to find their way to being open to being in a lasting relationship.
"Love, Tussles and Takedowns" is an incredibly fun read! It's sexy, delightful, and has just enough angst not to be a downer but still intriguing. Violet Duke brings yet another interesting combination of hero and heroine together in the fantastically quirky town of Cactus Creek. The entire cast of characters are fabulous. The novel has an energy that has you almost unable to set the book down. And I loved the open door love match, between Drew and Skylar, the teenage girl character, from Violet Duke's Can't Resist series! I can't wait to move on to the next installment of the Cactus Creek series!
This novel is from my personal bookshelf, which mean I purchased it, thus it is an honest review. ...more

The first time Hudson has seen Liana, he couldn't take his eyes off her. And as an antique arms authenticator trained in martial arts, Hudson was in awe. He was so turned on, on how much she knew her firearms. After he saw her ride her motorcycle, he was turned on even more. After that he couldn't get his mind off her, he tracked her down and surprised her at the bar. When they started talking it was effortless, they talked like they've know each other for years.

That day was the first day of their new friendship.
Every time they talked it was relaxing and they always enjoyed each other's company. Hudson's life was all about surviving, until Liana came into his life. She was everything he always wanted, but knew he couldn't have. Hudson didn't feel like he deserved someone to make him happy, because of his past. But being around Liana made him want to try to live for so much more than he think he deserves.
Will Liana help Hudson get pass what's keeping him so closed off?
Or Will Hudson just take what he can get and leave when it's time?
Read and find out.
This story is short and sweet. I enjoyed how Hudson was with Liana, he never left her side when she needed him. He was sweet and so attentive to her. I couldn't help but love him from the beginning of the story. I can't wait to read more of Violet Duke's books. I'm working on my next one now. =)

I enjoyed that there was a bit of military background in there and that Lia was pretty kick ass if not perfect and ethereal in every way. I especially loved her family unit.

Especially where her three overprotective brothers are concerned. Believe me, some of their antics get pretty hilarious. It seems like Hudson has been on his own forever. Oh, his parents are still around, but they never really paid much attention to him; they never understood him. He chose a military career. A career that has just ended.
While this is mostly pure entertainment, it does reach into some deep subject matter in the form of PTSD. But mostly, it's a fun, quick, and easy summer read. Love this Cactus Creek series!

Just not as graphic sex wise as I like. They actually kissed right? Very little description in there lol but loved the characters. Also undressing seems to have gotten forgotten.

(2) CCDM references were hyperlinked.
CCDM 32.2.5 dated August 11, 2004, and Chief Counsel Notice CC-2004-004 are superseded.
(Procedure and Administration)
Overview of Coordination Process
In order to achieve accuracy, uniformity, and consistency in documents issued by Chief Counsel, advice must often be solicited from other offices on issues crossing into their jurisdictional areas. Early recognition of the need to obtain advice from other offices is essential in order to permit a timely referral and allow sufficient time for a thorough and useful response.
Coordination should be done with any office that has expertise in the subject matter involved in the proposed publication or whose operational area may be affected by the position to be taken.
The drafting attorney may request coordination either before a draft of the proposed publication item is completed or the drafting attorney can send a draft to the coordinating office for that office's input on the contents of the item. Prior to sending a draft to a coordinating office, the drafting attorney should have the branch reviewer complete the review of the draft or otherwise concur in the coordination.
Early coordination with the assigned Treasury attorney is strongly recommended, especially where the issues involved in the proposed publication item are complex or significant.
The drafting attorney should notify and provide an opportunity for early involvement in a proposed publication item to all Associate and Division Counsel offices and the Special Counsel to the National Taxpayer Advocate. See CCDM 32.2.5.2(2) and 32.2.5.3(2).
If any proposed publication item is intended to communicate with taxpayers and contains an IRS toll-free number, the drafting attorney must coordinate the publication with the Office of Taxpayer Correspondence (OTC). The drafting attorney should either email the publication to the OTC or submit a request to the OTC website at http://win.web.irs.gov/TPC/TPC.htm. The OTC staff will review the publication item and promptly notify the drafting attorney if any problems or issues are identified.
This requirement does not extend to work products that relate to a single or small group of taxpayers, such as TAMs or PLRs. In addition, only the office having primary responsibility for preparing a document is responsible for coordination with the OTC. Accordingly, Counsel attorneys that are reviewing documents created by the Service, such as IRM updates or IRS publications, are not responsible for forwarding these documents to the OTC.
Coordination Within the National Office
When more than one branch or Associate office has concurrent jurisdiction over the subject matter of a proposed publication, coordination among those offices with related jurisdiction is appropriate. Coordination is particularly important when:
The other office or branch has not participated in the development of the proposed publication (or has participated in the development but has not previously approved the proposed publication), and
The other office or branch has participated in the development of a related letter ruling, technical advice, or other underlying document.
To facilitate coordination, when work is initiated on a project, the drafting attorney should email each Associate Office within 30 days after the opening of the project on TECHMIS to alert the Associate Offices that the project has been opened. The email should contain the information described in CCDM 32.2.5.3(2).
Coordination may be done either formally or informally, as appropriate, as long as the other branch or office has an opportunity to react to the proposed publication before it is circulated for comment.
An office that receives formal advice or assistance from another office must follow the advice or implement the assistance unless the receiving office requests reconsideration of the advice or assistance and the advice or assistance is changed through the reconciliation process discussed below. When there is doubt as to whether the advice is directive rather than suggestive, the receiving office should ask for clarification rather than proceed on what might be an erroneous assumption that the advice was merely a suggestion.
Absent extraordinary circumstances, reconciliation should begin by the receiving office requesting reconsideration and providing the reasons for its disagreement to the office that provided the advice or assistance. If that office adheres to its views after reconsideration, the receiving office must follow the advice or assistance or elevate the request for reconsideration to the next higher level.
A request for reconsideration of branch level advice should be elevated to the Associate Chief Counsel of the office within which the branch is located, as applicable. A request for reconsideration at a higher level within the national office should be made by the appropriate branch or the appropriate Associate Chief Counsel.
When coordination with another branch or office is completed, the preparer enters on page 1 of the BIN under "Coordinated with" the name of the person, symbols of the office or branch, and the date coordinated. Page 2 of the BIN must reflect any unresolved disagreement. If the Associates are unable to reconcile their views, the matter should be elevated to the Deputy Chief Counsel or the Chief Counsel. The Associates will reconcile differing views and will ensure that the package that goes forward contains an analysis of all significant issues.
Coordination with Division Counsel and with the Service
The Associate Chief Counsel is responsible for drafting and preparing published guidance. Division Counsel may assist the Associate Chief Counsel in developing published guidance. The Associate office should coordinate all projects with each Division Counsel office through their Publication Coordinator or designee. Each Division Counsel Publication Coordinator or designee is responsible for further coordination within its respective Service Operating Division.
Within 30 days after the opening of the project on TECHMIS, the drafting attorney should email each Division Counsel Publication Coordinator or designee as soon as possible to alert the Division Counsel that the project has been opened. The email should contain:
Description of the issue to be addressed by the project
Taxpayers affected
Reasons for publication
Target publication date (and any other timing considerations)
Name and telephone number of drafting attorney
Within 15 business days (unless time is of the essence and the email from the drafting attorney requests feedback in a shorter time frame), the Publication Coordinator or designee will notify the drafting attorney by email whether that Division requests to be involved in the development of the proposed publication. If the Division does not request to be involved in the development of the proposed publication item, the Division will still have an opportunity to comment on the draft publication item when the item is circulated for comments. See CCDM 32.2.6.4, General Circulation.
A decision by the Publication Coordinator or designee not to be involved with the drafting of the publication item does not prevent the Publication Coordinator or designee from reconsidering at a later time, and requesting further involvement in developing those projects in which the Operating Division is interested. Similarly, the Associate office may later suggest a higher level of involvement by Division Counsel than was originally indicated.
If a Division Counsel office requests involvement in the development of a project, the respective reviewer and Division Counsel Publication Coordinator or designee will determine the scope of the participation as soon as possible. This involvement will vary but, at a minimum the drafting attorney should:
Send the Division Counsel Publication Coordinator or designee all issues and policy memoranda and invite the Division Counsel Publication Coordinator or designee to attend any preliminary meetings to discuss the issue and policy memoranda,
Invite the Division Counsel Publication Coordinator or designee to briefings of Treasury, Counsel, or IRS executives, and
Include the Division Counsel Publication Coordinator or designee in the distribution of the circulation draft.
Any comments made by Division Counsel should be made by an employee with authority to speak on behalf of, and bind, the Division Counsel. The drafting attorney must ensure that all comments made by an employee of Division Counsel represent the comments and views of the Division Counsel and not merely the views of the employee.
Coordination with Other Agencies or Organizations
Disclosure Prohibited — Generally, the contents and status of proposed publications are confidential and can be disclosed to anyone outside of the Service only with the approval at the Associate Chief Counsel level or higher. This approval has been granted to permit clearance of proposed publications with certain agencies of the federal government, including the Social Security Administration (SSA) and the Railroad Retirement Board. See below.
Coordination Permitted — The Service may seek comments and suggestions from taxpayers or taxpayer groups with respect to proposed publications when justified by special circumstances. Thus, the drafting attorney may seek information from another agency or organization affected by a proposed publication. For example, it may be necessary to secure information regarding industry practices in a developing area or to determine whether a fact pattern still exists when updating a prior publication. In the process of this coordination, if it becomes necessary or desirable for a representative of another agency or organization to read a draft of the proposed publication, the drafting attorney must first secure approval at the Associate Chief Counsel level before permitting the representatives to read the draft. A brief description of this coordination must be included in the BIN on page 2 under the heading "COORDINATION. "
When coordination outside the Service is necessary, the drafting attorney must ensure that the persons to whom any information concerning the proposed publication is communicated understands that the proposed publication is a draft and has not been approved at higher levels of the Service and should be kept confidential.
Coordination Required on Social Security Matters
The Service is responsible for the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax and the Self-Employment Contributions Act (SECA) tax provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers the social security and medicare coverage provisions under the Social Security Act. Any matters relating to liability for FICA or SECA taxes must be coordinated with SSA. The Division Counsel/Associate Chief Counsel (Tax Exempt and Government Entities) (TEGE) has responsibility for this coordination, which, for proposed publications, generally is conducted contemporaneously with circulation.
If a proposed publication involving social security taxes is prepared outside of TEGE, the drafting attorney should coordinate with TEGE early in the development of the publication to obtain their views on the social security tax aspects of the publication. TEGE will work with the drafting attorney to coordinate the proposed publication with SSA.
A proposed publication may proceed through review channels while awaiting a response from SSA if the drafting attorney and reviewer believe that the matter should be expedited and have agreement from TEGE to proceed. Final clearance by the Chief Counsel, however, cannot occur until SSA agrees with the proposed publication.
Coordination Required on Railroad Retirement Matters
The Service is responsible for the Railroad Retirement Tax Act provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) administers the retirement and benefit coverage provisions under the Railroad Retirement and Railroad Unemployment Insurance Acts. Any matters relating to liability for Railroad Retirement Tax Act taxes must be coordinated with the RRB. Division Counsel/Associate Chief Counsel (TEGE) has responsibility for this coordination, which, for proposed publications, is accomplished under procedures similar to those followed for coordination with SSA, above.


My name is Samantha and I am a fiery, passionate young woman. I am also an elementary school teacher, quilter, printmaker, salsa dancer, and Ed.D (doctorate of education) candidate.
In mid-May 2015 I was reaching for soap in the shower when I hit my left breast, hitting something different, something hard. By May 27, 2015 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a very common type of breast cancer known as IDC (Invasive Ductile Carcimona). I got placed in the Multi-Disciplinary Team for Breast Cancer with an appointment for June 2.
In a PET scan ordered before the appointment, my worst nightmares were revealed: I not only had advanced breast cancer, I had metastatic breast cancer meaning the cancer was Stage IV and had spread to my lung and thigh. I had 0% chance of survival and was told by my all the oncologists in the little exam room along with my parents that they could make me comfortable until the end, but they could not cure me. I was 29 years old.
I ended up being one of the lucky ones. With further examination, they discovered I did not have Stage IV cancer — the spots in my lung and thigh turned out to be non-cancerous. I think that the initial horror that my time left was to be limited and unpleasant led me to be grateful for all moments. I remember waking up from my bilateral (double) mastectomy now breastless, hairless and infertile (from chemotherapy) thinking that these were just battle scars to a better life.
Cancer helped me to clarify my perspectives. I had many friends before I got cancer. Many of them left and stayed away after I got cancer. The friends that have stayed I have learned are true friends, not just friends who are there when it is convenient for them. The deep love my parents have for me is unmatched. I realized that more framed degrees on my wall would not make me happier, but that I should focus on slowing down and enjoying life with the people I enjoy being around.
To help me cope, I go to cancer patient groups. I go to a group that meets weekly that is people mostly 30 or more years older than me and along with a cancer counselor we help each other problem-solve. It is a group made up of people with many different cancers. I also go to a 40-and-under (when diagnosed) group for breast cancer; that group meets once a month. I also walk as much as I can and spend time with the people I love.
If you are just being diagnosed with any kind of cancer, I say you should find a group that works for you. There are writing groups, groups that are just for men, women, and young survivors. Not every group just sits and talks, many groups go on all kinds of outings. For me the greatest help came from another young teacher diagnosed with breast cancer who came to my house when I couldn't leave for comfort. I hope to do the same for someone else someday.
If you want to be a supportive friend, I suggest finding yourself a job that you can do. The hardest friends to me were the friends who would make plans; I would rearrange many medical appointments, and then they would cancel. I had a friend who loved to drive so she would take me for rides at a good time in my chemotherapy cycle. Other friends lived far away and would send me care packages.
Remember that the worst thing to say or do to someone who has cancer is nothing—it completely invalidates that they exist. Having cancer, I thrive on connection. A hug, a letter, a phone call, they mean the world.
Please join me in keeping Samantha in your thoughts and prayers as she continues to fight to regain her health.
You're still breastfeeding? How old is your daughter?
Yes, I still nurse my daughter, who is almost 21-months-old.
OK, that's cool, but this topic makes me uncomfortable. Can we still be friends if I don't read this article?
Sure, why don't you check out these photos my husband and I took on our recent hike to the top of Spencer's Butte. I'm not trying to make you uncomfortable, but I do think it's important to raise awareness about this topic.
Are you some kind of breastfeeding activist?
Not exactly. I've never been very comfortable nursing in public, and I never nurse her in public now that she eats solid foods regularly. But I would like to live in a society where any woman would feel comfortable nursing in public — since breastmilk is the healthiest possible food you can give a baby.
Is it normal to breastfeed a toddler? I thought you were only supposed to nurse until age 1.
Both the World Health Organization and UNICEF recommend breastfeeding until two years or more. Check out this Huffington Post article for more on the topic. True it is not the norm in the U.S., but Americans have very low rates of breastfeeding when compared to the rest of the world.
But doesn't it hurt? Toddlers have lots of teeth.
Imagine sucking your thumb. Would that hurt? Sometimes babies go through biting phases, but if they want to continue nursing they will learn not to do so.
My pediatrician said there was no medical reason to breastfeed past age 1.
This is what my daughter's former pediatrician implied, and although he was a very nice man, he was apparently misinformed about this topic. According to the Mayo Clinic "Breast milk is considered the gold standard for infant nutrition…There's no known age at which breast milk is considered to become nutritionally insignificant for a child." In addition to high nutritional value, breast milk also contains your antibodies to viruses, which can help your toddler stay healthy while her immune system is still developing. Extended breastfeeding also has many positive benefits to the mother's health including reduced risk of breast and ovarian cancers.
I weaned my baby when I went back to work at 3 months. Are you trying to make me feel bad about myself?
No way girlfriend. Being a mom is oh so challenging — we're all just trying to do the best we can, right? In fact, nursing a newborn was one of the most challenging things I've ever had to do, so kudos to you if you made it through these early weeks!

10 Awesome Hikes in Pennsylvania
Waterfalls. Deep gorges. Bright green forests. Trout-filled streams.
By: The Outbound Collective + Save to a List
Pennsylvania is one of those states that might surprise you. It has pastoral beauty in spades, but between the rolling hills of farmland and the bustling of major cities is enough wildness to satisfy anyone with a craving for adventure. From the Allegheny Mountains to Pine Creek Gorge and everywhere in-between, you're never far from a trail to hike in this mid-Atlantic state.
Here are a few of our favorite places to stretch our legs in Pennsylvania.-
Adventure by Shannon Kalahan
The Falls Trail at Ricketts Glenn State Park is 7.2 miles of waterfall bliss. Hike past 21 waterfalls, cross and re-cross the creek on a series of wooden bridges, and rock hop along the edge of the water to snag the best views of the falls. This is a very popular trail, so if you're looking for solitude, hike in the off-season or start early in the morning.
Adventure by Ian Carey
Located near the bustling towns of Harrisburg and Allentown, the Pinnacles and Pulpit Rock trail climbs to sweeping views of the Lehigh Valley. Part of the route follows white blazes of the Appalachian Trail, and two different trails after the Pinnacles allow for a 7-mile or 9-mile roundtrip from start to finish.
Adventure by Brett Rothmeyer
Feel like you're worlds away at McConnell's Mill State Park, where a 12-mile out-and-back trail travels up and down the rock-strewn path through Slippery Rock Gorge. Enjoy the bright green forest in spring and summer, and stop to check out the historic mill and stone bridge along the way.
Adventure by Katch Silva
For a little bit of history with your hike, wander the trails at Valley Forge. Valley Forge was the 1777-78 Revolutionary War encampment of the Continental Army, and its meadows and forests offer a beautiful backdrop for a casual afternoon stroll.
Adventure by Tyler Cranden
The family-friendly trails at Bushkill Falls offer the chance to explore eight different waterfalls tucked into the verdant forest of the Delaware Water Gap. In the summer, a souvenir and snack stand at the trailhead offers tasty treats to help fuel your adventures.
Adventure by Shawn Grenninger
The 6.5-mile Hemlock Mountain Loop can be done as a day hike or, if you want to soak in the panoramic views and rest by the gushing waterfalls, you can turn it into a weekend backpack. Be sure to bring a trail map on this hike, as there are a few different routes that join together to create the loop.
Adventure by Jeff Henderson
It may be a short hike, but a trip to Kinzua Bridge State Park is absolutely worth it. The Kinzua Viaduct was once the longest and tallest railroad structure in the world, and its engineering is a sight to behold. Partially destroyed by a tornado in 2003, the bridge has re-opened as a pedestrian walkway. Two trails—the General Kane and the Kinzua Creek Trail—offer the chance to explore the nearby creek and hills.
Winter or summer, a hike to Jacoby Run Falls rewards adventurers with up-close and personal views of the cascading waterfall. Camping is not permitted along the trail, however, the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources does allow primitive camping (with a permit) in other locations within the Loyalsock State Forest.
Combine a bike along the Pine Creek Rail Trail with a hike to Pine Island Vista for beautiful views of the "Pennsylvania Grand Canyon." This route requires a bit of wayfinding, so do your research before you head out.
Speaking of views, the Barbour Rock Trail gives you an eagle-eye vista of Pine Creek Gorge. This easy trail is accessible for even the tiniest of kiddie legs, and the overview is worth every step. Squint to watch kayakers navigate the rapids far below before returning to your car along the 0.7-mile trail.

All right. Hope they can solve the problem soon.
And I am curious about the test of TFmini, the blind area of TFmini is 30cm, that is actually right. Have you set it in a drone? Or what do you use it for? Beyond the 30cm, does it work well?
And thank you for your advice.

The biofield is a word about which you are going to hear a great deal in the years to come. It is a term that we use for the organizing Informational Matrix, which is the underlying field of life itself. If you are not functioning at your best, or if you're ill, this means your Informational Matrix or as the ancients called it, your Inner Light is being hidden and not expressing itself. We decided upon this new term several years ago because it best explained our observations. The Matrix underlies the energy fields of the body, which themselves support molecular and biological processes. I've spent a lot of time talking about this issue in Healing, Meaning and Purpose.
Information is a form of energy. But when we use the term "energy," I must issue a word of caution. The term itself is fuzzy, conveying multiple meanings, with many people discussing "energies" and "vibrations" with little clarity. There is a potent reason why this matters: When healers only visualize energy flowing from them into a receiver, like water flowing from a pipe, they are limiting what they can do to help. When we use self-healing, it is essential to use the bigger idea of the Informational Matrix to help us focus our mind and our attention. Yes, there is a flow of "energy:" I can see and feel it, as can thousands of other people. I can train most people to sense it within an hour, and it can probably be photographed. But the energy flow is secondary to a correction in the Informational Matrix.
For centuries, most of the traditional forms of healing have relied upon the notion that there is a "Vital Energy," an "Essence," a "Life Force," forming the basis for a person's health and healing. Many scientists around the world are now re-investigating this life force, now re-labeled the biofield, or, as we prefer it, the Informational Matrix. A recent paper in a prestigious journal has advocated the importance of integrating "energetic" therapies into cancer care. Here are just seven recent and very interesting papers on this incredibly important subject: 1. 2.3. 4.5. 6.7.
In the last few years, there have been a number of studies of the brain in people who are practicing different forms of meditation. Andy Newberg at the University of Pennsylvania has looked at cerebral blood flow of meditators, and there has been a long-standing collaboration between Richard Davidson at the University of Wisconsin and the Dalai Lama, who has provided the University with a steady flow of experienced meditators for an array of different types of electrical measurements of their brains. One of the most consistent findings in experienced meditators is that some of these electrical rhythms become synchronized. This was first reported over 20 years ago, but some of those early experiments had some technical problems associated with them. But the new findings seem to be very robust. Meditators also produce an unusual type of high frequency electrical activity known as gamma waves, that oscillate at 40 cycles per second.
1. There are many types of meditation: many are a form of intense concentration, others are a witnessing or watching of thoughts, yet others are a form of profound devotion. So it is no surprise that different forms will produce different effects in the brain.
2. The fact that the brain can be trained to produce certain types of electrical activity is in line with multiple lines of evidence demonstrating that the brain is not the static structure that we used to think it to be: it can learn and develop. We already knew that with motor functions and some cognitive abilities, but now we can extend those findings into the emotions: feelings of love and empathy can be developed, expanded and deepened. The old metaphor that the brain can be exercised like a muscle may not be a metaphor after all, but a biological fact.
3. The fact that there are neurological correlates of meditation or of any emotional or psychological state does not mean that we can reduce the experience to the firing of some neurons or the synchronization of regions of the brain. Some of this research has been misinterpreted to mean that meditative states or mystical insights are no more than the calming of neural activity. It is vital that we also acknowledge the subjective experiences and reports of individuals and recognize that they are as valid descriptors as changes in the brain.
4. Meditation has been shown to have a great many physiological and psychological effects, from lowering blood pressure, to improving the performance of sleep-deprived individuals, reducing age-related cortical thinning and ultimately leading to demonstrable psychological and spiritual development. So the neurological and psychological findings provide a partial explanation for those observations.
The fact that some researchers are cooperating with the Dalai Lama has not sat well with some critics, but I think that it is important for us to remember that we are living in a time when it is essential for us to synthesize different approaches and to find common ground. So I applaud these studies and will continue to report them.


Once you have left Fiona Stanley Hospital and have finished as an outpatient at the Physiotherapy department there are very few options for rehabilitation in Western Australia.
If your functional ability and skills are changing, either improving or getting worse, it is possible to be referred back to the State Rehabilitation Service at Fiona Stanley Hospital as an outpatient. To do this you need to get a referral from your GP to see a spinal specialist. The specialist will then assess your overall health and will decide if you require additional physiotherapy or occupational therapy.

A Conversation about Empowering Clients Living with Physical Disabilities & Chronic Illnesses: Learning Lessons from a Feminist Clinical Practice, Personal Experiences, & Kafer's Relational/Social Model of Disability.
"A crippled politics of access and engagement …. yearning for an "elsewhen" - in which disability is understood ….. as political, as valuable as integral. (Kafer presents) … a hybrid political/relational model …..mak(ing) room for people to acknowledge – even mourn – a change in form or function while also acknowledging that those changes can not be understood apart from the context in which they occur. …. allow(ing) for important questions about healthcare and social justice (Kafer, 2013, pp. 3-6)." In this workshop we will talk about relational, political, existential, & practical issues clients face living with physical disabilities & chronic illnesses. We will explore how the above quote from Kafer challenges those with and without disabilities to engage this issue. Presenter will encourage participants to draw on their wisdom in this discussion.

Q: A battle of thousand units In unity3d, how can i implement a battle of 200 prefabs versus another 200 prefabs?
Let say i have a support prefabs that increase armor of friendly prefabs and decrease armor of hostile prefabs at the same time. In a huge battle where 400 prefabs (friendly and hostile) are close to each other it would result in enormous amount of calculation and drastically reduce the fps down to 2 or 3.
I googled it and found something interesting called culling scheme. But I can't understand it or figure out how to implement it in unity.
Here is the link: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/overlapsphere-with-hundreds-of-agents-and-performance.157690/
So,
1. Could you please explain to me how to use the culling scheme method in the link above?
2. Is there any other approach in implementing a battle where there are hundred of prefabs at the same time?

A: The information doesn't seem to be reliable. However what was described as Culling Scheme is actually a simple idea but how to implement it is highly dependent on your game.
The idea is to separate units based on their location, so that interactive operations (Attacks, Defense, AI, etc...) work on only those that are close enough to each other.
There are 2 different methods that I can think of:

*

*Divide the map into rows and columns, calculate interactions within each 2x2 square. A,B,C fit in the same square. Also B,C,D. But not A,D.

*Use colliders with triggers and add/remove each unit to a collection when it enters/exits the collider. So that you can easily do the interactive operations within each collection.

My guess is if you choose the first option it will be easy to implement but since you should update the square members more often than the second option, it has some performance issues.
If you choose the second one (it needs more research on how to use triggers, kinematic, rigid body...) and do it right, you will less likely encounter performance issues.

edit
In each 2x2 square these 5 are the only necessary interactions to be processed IF the previous squares are already processed:
   (first 1x1 square, last 1x1 square)
   (second 1x1 square, last 1x1 square)
   (third 1x1 square, last 1x1 square)
   (within last 1x1 square)
   (second 1x1 square, third 1x1 square)

Suppose we have an area divided into 3 rows and 3 columns. We add an extra row and column to simplify the calculations (the zero squares are outside boundary and thus no units will be in them)

Now in each 2x2 square (e.g 1,2,4,5) there are 10 types of interactions:
(1,1) (1,2) (1,4) (1,5)
      (2,2) (2,4) (2,5)
            (4,4) (4,5)
                  (5,5)

If we process these interactions sequentially like below, We can make sure no interaction is made twice.

e.g.

*

*in step1 (1,1) is seen.

*in step2 (2,2) and (1,2) are seen.

*in step4 (4,4) and (1,4) are seen.

So what's left for step 5 is:
(1,5) (2,5) (4,5) (5,5) (2,4)

Obviously it goes the same for the 2x2 squares which contain zero squares. only that we skip the interactions involving a 0.

Kosta Tonev sets his experience working as bicycle courier against the background of cycle-like phenomena in the world economy.
He investigates the causal link between the re-establishment of cycling as a mode of transport in the 1970s and the economic recession that triggered it. The exhibition marks the 40th anniversary of the Oil Crisis of 1973 and implicitly raises questions about its present day resonance.
Since 2012 Kosta Tonev has been attending the Master Artistic Research programme (KABK). This exhibition has been developed during his project-based residency at GEMAK|Vrije Academie.

Remembering Paul Musco
Paul Musco playing in the Musco Center lobby
Philanthropist. Enthusiast. Visionary. Leader. Friend.
It would be difficult to overstate the impact that Sebastian Paul Musco – simply known as "Paul" to his friends and the many thousands of people whose lives he touched – has had on Chapman University. His generosity knew no bounds – and, among his countless other achievements, led to the planning, creation, and opening of his proudest legacy: our beautiful Musco Center for the Arts, which opened its doors to the public and the campus community in 2016.
Paul's peaceful passing, on September 18, 2021, at the age of 95, means that a giant has left us. But what a life! And what an astonishing legacy he leaves to all of us.
Marybelle and Paul Musco
"It's hard to imagine being without him here," Richard T. Bryant, executive director of Musco Center, told the Orange County Register. "Paul attended performances here all the time with his beloved Marybelle and other members of his family. He was joyous; he cared about everybody here. He wanted the center to be the best of the best -- and he loved the students."
Paul and Marybelle Musco first became interested in Chapman University in 2003, via an invitation to American Celebration, the annual fund-raising gala student performance now known as Chapman Celebrates. "We didn't know Chapman or (then-Chapman-president) Jim Doti or even what American Celebration was," Paul would recall a few years later. "But we sat at the head table, and we learned a lot."
The Muscos were enthralled by the stage show featuring students of the College of Performing Arts. Then, during the gala dinner that followed, the Muscos noticed a university staff member whisper something to President Doti, whose face couldn't conceal his disappointment. The event had fallen $46,000 short of the established fundraising goal of $1 million.
Paul Musco, Marybelle Musco, and Musco Center Founding Dean Dr. William Hall worked side by side on the look, feel, and sound of Musco Center from the very beginning.
Without hesitation, Paul told the president he would contribute what was needed to get the event over the hu m p. "Jim got all excited and jumped up (to make an announcement)," Paul recalled later. "I told him, 'If you mention my name, you won't get a penny.'" President Doti grinned, sat down -- and a beautiful friendship was christened.
"Now whenever I talk to people, I'm always bragging about Chapman," Paul, who became a Chapman Trustee shortly thereafter, told Chapman's Pinnacle Magazine in 2010. "I walk the campus and I say, 'Hi, how are you? Do you have any complaints? Because if you do, I'm the one to talk to.' But all I see are smiles."
Plans for a state-of-the-art performing arts center on the Chapman campus had long been bubbling, with little progress -- but when the Muscos came aboard, the visualization, planning and subsequent construction hit warp speed as they chaired the fundraising committee and led the way with Musco Center's Founding Dean Dr. William hall, Jim Doti, Daniele Struppa and many others. The Muscos, who contributed $39 million to the project,, also took an interest in and oversaw many details of the Center's genesis and fruition, from design and color choices to the workings of the hall itself.
Paul and Marybelle Musco are surrounded by Wylie and Bette Aitken (left) and Julianne and George L. Argyos (right) at the 2016 Gala Opening of Musco Center.
"It was that persona l involvement that created this fabulous design, this acoustically-superb tool for the advancement of performing arts education at Chapman," Bryant said. "That's what they wanted and that's what they did. The true definition of philanthropy begins with engagement. He w as the best."
During the Center's two-year construction process, Paul was a constant promoter of the project, talking it up to everyone he met – his eyes brightening and energy expanding as he spoke. As the opening day drew nearer, his energy burgeoned, Bryant recalls. "How many of us can say that we lived to see our legacy take its concrete, fullest form? Paul did. The grand opening of Musco Center for the Arts in March of 2016 was one of his proudest moments – he was there to see this long-held dream come true, the beginning of a new era in performing arts for Chapman's students and our audiences."
But even in the midst of all the glitter and glamor, the true Paul Musco came out: the man who cared about the smallest details and who truly cared about all people. He insisted that every employee at his company, Gemini Industries, and every person who participated on the contracting and construction crews who built the Center, receive tickets to the first performance, that once-in-a-lifetime moment when the Musco Center stage came to life with musicians, dancers and singers.
Paul Musco and Chapman President Daniele Struppa.
And from that day on, Paul and Marybelle were regularly in attendance, giving standing ovations to many of the greatest performing artists in the world who graced the Musco Center stage –and with equal enthusiasm for the Chapman student ensembles and soloists who performed there. He loved the students and wanted only the best for them.
How did he make it happen? What it all came down to, for Paul Musco, was one simple concept. "It's a four-letter word – w-o-r-k," he told Pinnacle. "It's having a dream and then working to make it happen. There are those who have a dream and wish for their dream to come true, and there are those who have a dream and MAKE their dream come true."
Paul Musco was truly one of the makers, the doers, the achievers. His biography and the long, long list of his philanthropic generosity can be read in the many other tributes that have appeared since his passing.
Paul Musco (center) shares a laugh with (left to right) Hilbert Museum director Mary Platt, Musco Center executive director Richard T. Bryant, Hilbert Museum co-founders Mark and Janet Hilbert, and Mary Bryant at Chapman Celebrates, 2019.
As for us, we can only say: Paul, we will miss you, always. But if anyone seeks your monument, they need only to look around here at Musco Center. As you would agree, it's not just the building, as stunning and advanced as it is: it's the people within it who bring the building to life.
The audiences who cheer and whose lives are transformed by the arts. The performers whose talents are enhanced by the stellar acoustics and uncompromising excellence of our acclaimed hall.
And the student s who perform and learn here, who are the artists of tomorrow and the generations to come.
They are your triumph and your living legacy. Thank you.
Paul waving from the Musco Box.

Congress can — and should — repeal DC's assisted suicide law
By Dr.Grazie Pozo Christie
The District of Columbia recently became the seventh "suicide" jurisdiction in the country when the D.C. council passed the Death with Dignity Act in February. No one has yet to kill themselves under the law using a massive, prescribed dose of sedatives, and it may be that the law will be blocked by Congress before anyone has the chance.
As a physician, it is no surprise to me that Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), the congressman spearheading the effort to repeal D.C.'s assisted suicide law, is a doctor. Some of the most ardent opponents of physician-prescribed suicide are doctors and nurses with plenty of experience accompanying patients through the shock of a terminal diagnosis and the struggle of the last months of life. Becoming an agent of your own patient's death is directly at odds with a vocation designed to prolong and enhance lives.

Scrambling to find a replacement Christmas present; my coworkers inform me that a 12-month Curves membership is apparently "insensitive".
Oh wow. Yes. Even if she wants to join a gym, do not give it as a gift. Especially that one, which is specifically marketed as weight loss instead of muscle-building or sports training, leaving absolutely no ambiguity. You can offer to pay for her membership later, at least a week after Christmas, but that's not a gift — that's just something nice you can do separately.

Q: How to pass an array using PHP & Ajax to Javascript? Apologies if this explanation isn't clear, it's hard for me to understand too. How can I use PHP & Ajax to send an array to Javascript? I'm using Ajax to get an array of photos, which I'm then looking to append to an empty <div> on my page.
The jQuery looks as follows:
$.ajax({
    url: "<?php echo site_url('demo/getPhotos/'); ?>",
    type: 'POST',
    data: form_data,
    success: function(data) {
        alert(data);
   }

And the PHP function getPhotos looks like this:
<?php

$photos = array();

foreach ($data as $photo) {
    array_push($photos,$photo['source']);
    }

// echo json_encode($photos); How should I be returning $photos?

If I simply echo $photos; the data is sent to the success callback, but it doesn't appear to be in a usable format.
If I do a var_dump($photos) in PHP, the result looks something like:
array(4) {
  [0]=>
  string(14) "some_image.jpg"
  [1]=>
  string(14) "some_image.jpg"
  [2]=>
  string(14) "some_image.jpg"
  [3]=>
  string(14) "some_image.jpg"
}

I've tried various combinations of json_encode and the like but really I am guessing and not sure of the theory behind it. What's the best way to pass data from PHP to Javascript in this context?

A: Try:
$.ajax({
    url: "<?php echo site_url('demo/getPhotos/'); ?>",
    type: 'POST',
    data: form_data,
    dataType:"json",
    success: function(data) {
        alert(data[0]);
   }

On the PHP side, you'll be wanting to print:
print json_encode($photos);

Another thing you might try in order to better encapsulate your code, and as an example of further JSON gooodness, would be:
print json_encode(array("photolist"=>$photos,"photo_owner"=>"Me!"));

Then on the server, you'd access these with:
data.photolist[0]; //First photo
data.photo_owner;  //The owner of the photo set

A: json_encode is definitely the way to go. jQuery even has built-in support for parsing JSON. You could use e.g.
$.ajax({
    url: "<?php echo site_url('demo/getPhotos/'); ?>",
    type: 'POST',
    data: form_data,
    dataType: 'json', // will automatically convert array to JavaScript
    success: function(array) {
        alert(array[0]); // alerts first string
    }
});

A: I made an array $result in PHP and at the end of request.
 echo json_encode($result);

and in JS $.post handler function :
var obj = $.parseJSON(data);
var v = data.k;

where k is key value in associative array.

A: return the json itself and then construct the array in js by looping over the json as follows:
var array=[];
for(var key in json)
{
    if(json.hasOwnProperty(key))
      array.push(json[key]);
}

Or you can simply work with the json itself any reason for needing the array?
something like json[0] or json[1] etc.

A: json_encode rulez when you need this stuff.
I recently learned this cool thing too! Here's how you do it:
function jsonResponse($array) {
     header('Content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8;');
     die(json_encode($array));
}

This is optional, if you want to do it, you don't have to, but in my MVC system, I tend to write this way... So first I make an ajax request (prototype), to a script, that later calls this function jsonResponse I mentioned earlier...
    new Ajax.Request('URL',
{
    method:'post',
    onSuccess: function(transport){
        res = transport.responseJSON;
        $('actionInformation').update(res.username);
    },
    onFailure: function(){
        alert('Something went wrong...')
    }
});

This is the jscript code, notice the res.msg, this is where we can operate with array. But, be sure to send response in JSON format in your PHP, using the jsonResponse function, it's easy to use, e.g., your php function can look something like this :
function ajax_get_user() {
     $userName = 'Adrian';
     $active = 1;
     jsonResponse(array('username' => $username, 'active' = $active));
}

Later you can get it easy, res.username, res.active.
I think this should do it!

A concert played both Friday and Saturday night at the Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park was a reminder of why the Grant Park Music Festival has become Chicago's most exciting and committed summertime home for classical symphonic music.
On paper, the program of French and Swiss French music might not have appeared too compelling — the popular chestnut "Organ" Symphony by Saint-Saens; Frank Martin's 1949 Concerto for Seven Wind Instruments, something of a connoisseur's piece; and the very rarely played early Berlioz overture, "King Lear." The conductor, Thierry Fischer, 55, was little known. Also Swiss, though born and initially raised in Zambia — his father was an engineer — he spent much of his career as an orchestral flutist before stepping in for an ailing conductor one night, sticking with it and now heading the fine Utah Symphony Orchestra in Salt Lake City.
Add to that Friday's extreme heat and humidity which, while not preventing the performance, did require a program reordering and the insertion of a 30-minute heat recovery intermission. I could not attend then but was able to hear the live WFMT radio broadcast, was knocked out by its precision and mastery and knew that I could not miss Saturday's concert.
Of course there are no prescriptions for what makes a successful conductor; plenty of people have what one would think would be great credentials and training for the experience. But Fischer certainly shows that deep knowledge of playing an instrument and understanding the life of an orchestra player from the inside does not hurt. Nor does playing for years under the major maestros Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Claudio Abbado.
Saturday's more manageable but still summery weather conditions meant the 90-minute program could be presented as planned with the Berlioz overture preceding the Martin concerto and then the Saint-Saens as the big closer. Fischer made the case for the 1831 Op. 4 Berlioz and the Saint-Saens; he finds and illuminates structure in works either somewhat loose or too often taken lightly. And he gave the knowledgable support and direction that allowed the superb Grant Park wind and brass soloists to play the intricate but wholly appealing Martin work at the highest level. He conducts with both clarity and passion. Though hardly restrained, he is no showboat. His connection with the players was clearly two-way.
All seven soloists, most of them principal players — Mary Stolper, flute, Nathan Mills, oboe, Gene Collerd, assistant principal clarinet, Eric Hall, bassoon, Douglas Carlsen, acting principal trumpet, Jonathan Boen, horn, and Daniel Cloutier, trumpet — were simultaneously snake charmers and skilled braiders with their individual melodic lines and variations. Their life as colleagues made for an absolutely integrated presentation both with each other and the full orchestra.
If you had told me that I would voluntarily hear the 1886 Op. 78 Saint-Saens C minor Third Symphony with its crowd-pleasing organ sections even once this year — let alone two nights back to back — I'd have proposed a head examination. But Fischer sold this oft-played piece both to its many fans and its fair number of skeptics equally, and, frankly, better than I have ever heard the work live. Fischer believes in this work in the way that Daniel Barenboim believes in Wagner, and if he cannot make it more than it is, his attention to detail, his ability to pay attention to all vertical (harmonies and combinations) and horizontal (melodic and narrative) development make the piece as strong and original and rewarding as it truly is. Though playing only an electronic console, Chicago fixture David Schrader delivered the organ parts in full sync with Fischer.
Utah is lucky to have this conductor, and several Grant Park players who are members of that ensemble can you tell you so. Kudos to Grant Park for snaring him now. The players honored him with his own ovation when he tried to get them to stand a second time at concert's — and difficult engagement's — end. Let's hope he's back. Indoors across Michigan Avenue would be great, too.
