Kobe's International District
Kitano is the foreigners' district in Kobe, at the foot of Rokko Mountain range. It spreads around Kitano street and Yamamoto and Oranda-zaka avenues. About twenty former diplomatic residences of western-style architecture were converted in museums and opened to the public. Some of the houses are even registered as Japan's Important Cultural Properties.
The international district of Kobe
An attraction in each residence
How to go to Kitano?
Kobe opened to the world at the end of the 19th century and naturally became a home port for foreigners. At the times, they were mainly Chinese, American and European, who settled comfortably on the heights of the city, with a view on the bay and the mountains in the background. The residences they built are imbued by the nostalgia of their countries of origin that shows in the architectural styles. Thus was born the picturesque district of Kitano Ijinkan.
The first residence dates back to early Meiji era (1868 – 1912), but it was not before 1887 that the number of constructions increased significantly. Until World War II, there were about two hundred houses. Most of them were destroyed by fire 🔥 during the war and later in the Great Hanshin earthquake in 1995. Nowadays, twenty one houses are preserved and opened to the visit.
The historical and entertaining features of Kitano Ijinkan have made it the main touristic attraction of the city. The well-defined path brings visitors to one museum after another, dispersed among souvenir shops and houses turned into restaurants or cafes. Starbucks and Tully's even have outlets camouflaged in the local architecture, and some might be disappointed to find such big fast food chains in the heart of the Japanese heritage. Lastly, a tribute is payed to jazz music, one of Kobe's iconic features, through the statues of musicians that can be encountered here and there in the vicinity.
A fee is collected at each house opened to the public. The lovely colored facades first attract the view and the high fences hiding some of the houses are intended to encourage people to come inside and discover more. Therefore, visiting Kitano Ijinkan can quickly become expensive, even if some combine tickets are available to enter several houses at a lower price. We selected below the residences that appeared the most appealing to us:
Kazamidori no Yakata, Kitano's symbol, this beautiful house is topped by a weathercock,
Uroko-no-ie, whose architecture pertains strong western style accents,
Yokan Nagaya, the French residency,
Sakanoue-no-Ijinkan, the former Chinese consulate,
The English House, with a room themed on Sherlock Homes.
Asian tourists, and especially young Japanese, love Kitano Ijikan for its exotic and unusual atmosphere; Western tourists, however, might not be impressed by the change of scenery. We therefore advise to climb up to Kitano Tenman shrine, the Japanese touch of the place, from which the bird's eyes view on Kobe and Osaka bay comes as a great reward after the steep stairway.
The district is quite hilly and we recommend wearing comfortable shoes to walk in the area, which is also a nice course to connect Kobe downtown to Nunobiki Park's ropeway.

Kingston is a renowned maker of memory and storage solutions. To meet demands of the mobile consumer, Kingston has released the MobileLite Wireless (MLW), described as a reader, media streamer and USB charger. Multi-talented? Indeed.
MobileLite Wireless is a small, lightweight unit, measuring 12.5 x 6 x 1.6cm and weighs just 98g. It resembles very much like an ultra-slim external hard drive, although much lighter.
On one side is the solitary SD card slot, and on the opposite end, a full USB 2.0 and micro-USB slot. On top is a row of LED indicators – power, wireless connection and internet. The power indicator has three different colours to denote different levels of charge – green, amber and red.
Below the buttons, on the side is the tactile power button, with a reset button alongside it.
Nothing out of the norm with the design, just practical and sized just right for portability.
The MobileLite Wireless app is available for Android and iOS users, for free. Once downloaded, the app presents you with five pages of instructions to get the device up and running.
The app is functional and simple, nothing fancy and works as advertised. The main dashboard shows the MobileLite Wireless device and its IP on the network.
Below shows Local Storage, which is either SD card or a USB thumbdrive plugged in.
Click on the SD card or thumbdrive and a list of file names will appear, giving you access to all files/data in the card or thumbdrive.
Clicking on the arrow beside the filename will give you options to share the file on Facebook, Twitter, Email or Move/Copy/Delete the file.
Click on settings and you will be able to rename the device, enable visibility of the Wi-Fi network, change channel, turn on WPA2 security (I recommend that you do) or also connect the device to an existing network to act as a regular acces point.
Overall quite a polished app with an intuitive, simple user experience.
The MobileLite Wireless works as an SD card reader, media streaming device and a battery backup. So where does it really excel?
Personally I feel the MLW would appeal to two types of people.
Firstly, owner of digital cameras which do not have Wi-Fi or direct ability to view/share photos and videos without tethering, or buying a Wi-Fi enabled memory card like the Eye-Fi.
Secondly, smartphone owners who need additional storage for their devices. With the MLW, storage is pretty much limitless as you'll be able to easily plug in additional SD cards or thumbdrives to extend storage further.
The SD card slot supports SD, SDHC and SDXC cards. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a micro-SD slot, however, Kingston is kind enough to include a microSD adapter with the package.
I found removing an SD card from the spring-loaded slot sometimes difficult, and you may need some long fingernails to give it a good pokey-pokey before it slides out. Hope Kingston can improve on this in future iterations.
As a plus, the MLW also acts as a battery backup. With a 1,800mAh rated Li-Polymer battery it can by itself last up to 5 hours, or able to charge a smartphone to about 50% charge.
I wished it had a bigger battery though, a starting point of 3,000mAh would be fantastic, so that using it can at least fully charge up a smartphone.
The MLW supports Wi-Fi 802.11g/n with WPA2 security. I/O performance over the air isn't spectacular but fast enough I reckon, with speeds ranging from 12-15Mbps. Note that by default it is unsecured, I highly recommend you go to Settings within the app and have it secured with a WPA2 password.
Disappointingly there's no Windows Phone app, so I was unable to use the MLW with my Lumia 1520. However, it does work flawlessly with my Lenovo K900 and iPad 2.
The MobileLite Wireless is an excellent multi-function device, made for mobile warriors. Despite its few shortcomings, the MLW is a handy accessory to have and should appeal to smartphone and tablet users who need additional storage or need to access their data/media immediately from their digital cameras without the hassle of tethering.
It's an accessory that's become something of a 'don't leave home without it' item since I received it for review two weeks ago.
*Lazada has informed that they've reduced the price of the MLW to RM139.00. Nice!

This chart sums up the main differences between POP (Post Office Protocol) and IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) email configurations. Any mail server at Thexyz supports both IMAP and POP connections and the choice is your for how you wih to connect and access your mail.
What is a use case for POP email?
As POP email is not deleted from the server, is often used when more than one user, shares the same email account. This allows emails not to be missed if one user deletes an email. If storage space on the server is limited, a user may opt to use a POP email configuration to allow for downloading email without keeping in on the server. Some users also prefer POP if they read email on their phone and delete it. They can then come back to the email later on Webmail or an email client. This use case is rare and most users will prefer an IMAP setup.
Why is IMAP the preferred protocol?
Due to the server synchronization IMAP is the preferred choice for setting up on mobile device or email client. This allows your email data to be backed up on the server. It also remains synchronized if you access your email on different devices. When you configure email on a mobile with IMAP, it usually allows to set a period of time for how long to sync email. This keeps data usage on your mobile minimal, as it will not start downloading email from the complete inbox. IMAP will also be the preferred protocol to setup with to allow for multiple devices. If for example you have an email account setup on multiple devices and delete a message on a single device, it will in turn sync and delete the message on all the devices that are setup with the email account.
Thexyz Webmail allows you to access your own private or business email server by POP and IMAP, giving you secure access to check your email anywhere in the world, from any device. Thexyz supports TLS/SSL connections and authentication for data security. Thexyz Webmail can also help you access your email account if your ISP blocks popular webmail sites or ports.
With Thexyz Premium Business Email, you can configure your device to use both POP and IMAP configurations. We generally recommend IMAP as this will keep a backup of email messages on the server. Whereas the POP protocol will simply deliver the message to the device, without keeping a copy on the server..
When does POP email become a problem?
Many people do not realize the limitations with POP until it is too late. This usually comes in the form of a computer crash, virus or a lost/stolen device. It is only once the device that held all the email without a backup, (or maybe only a local backup) becomes corrupt or lost, does the user then realize they have lost all their email data as emails are stored locally and not on the server with POP.
How does IMAP help protect against data loss?
Having your email stored on an IMAP is far more secure than your local device as this keeps messages on the server. With most people not having a backup of their device, they rely on the backups of the email service provider. It is only when the device as been setup with IMAP email configuration that data is stored on the server. As added protection and enhanced data retention polices we also recommend adding email Archiving to your business email hosting solution.
How do I ensure my email client or device is using IMAP?
You can check this by checking the account settings. If you do know where to find this, we recommend using our wizard. Once you see how to set the device up with IMAP, you will see how to check.
How can I ensure my email folders are backup up and synced?
If you are looking to backup and sync your email folders with multile devices, then IMAP is the way to go. This will not only sync email with all your mail clients, it will ensure all emails are stored on the server.
Can storage become a problem with IMAP?
With all messages stored on the server instead of locally, storage can become a problem for high volume email accounts. Our Premuim Webmail accounts allow for storage of 25GB per user. This is upgradable to 100GB with Hosted Exchange and can also become unlimited with the Email Archiving add-on.
With Office 365 can I setup email with POP or IMAP?
Yes you can. By default Office 365 may try an connect via Exchange ActiveSync, especially if you a using a client like Microsoft Outlook.

Freezing Temperatures an for a Landing
People taking a hit from all the temperatures
Nancy Drescher
Melody Maendel, Staff writer
Most of the U.S. population knows about climate change and how it is affecting the world's climate to a certain point.
But since the first of February freezing temperatures have been sweeping the nation, leaving drastic affects. This cold has brought a lot of attention to problems that we already deal with, but much worse.
In Chicago, the temperature is getting even colder than Antarctica. On Thursday, February 7th, Chicago had a high of -13 and a low of -24 degrees Fahrenheit. While Antarctica's temperatures are between -1 and -7 degrees.
Along with the cold there has been a reported 16 deaths due to this weather. These deaths have included some homeless people. Doctors in Chicago have already treated 50 people for frostbite in the last week, some of these have even lost an arm or a leg.
Moreover, slippery roads are resulting in car crashes which are causing deaths. In Minnesota 6,000 flights have been canceled and 4,010 of those cancellations have been in the last three days.
The cold has made it even harder for firefighters to do their job. There was a house fire in Indiana where it was below – 22. With such low temperatures because of the ice. Firemen were slipping on and injuring themselves. A citizen watching from her house stated that they all looked like snowmen running around covered in ice. Along with that it took over an hour to put out the house fire and just any fire in general.
It has gotten so bad that people in other states have to go to extreme measure to stay warm while doing their jobs. In Chicago and other places they have been setting fire to the railroad tracks to keep from freezing while doing their job. On that note the railroad tracks are also getting damaged and having defects not by the fire but because the metal is shrinking and not being in the right place.
In some places like Washington DC, there are winds up to 50 miles per hour with blizzards like snow. In the next week temperatures are expected to go off the charts. At this point the cold can reach anywhere, even Colorado. It's winter in the United States to an extreme point.

In their biggest sale ever, EB Games is getting rid of some Collector's Edition of popular games.
The most notable would definitely be the Mass Effect: Andromeda Nomad Diecast Collector's Edition. It was previously available for $259.95 but EB Games is selling it for a measly $68 on both PS4 and Xbox One.


Aside from relationships, another huge change that both of us have experienced is moving! We are both born and raised in New Jersey and went to school out of state, which was when the first big move out of our comfort zones happened. Sweetness went to University of Delaware and lived at school all four years and Sass went to Georgetown University and not only lived in Washington, DC during college, but for 5 years after too!
It seems pretty obvious that with moving comes change, however our moves were definitely more complicated and extensive than that. We are sharing our experiences and how to adjust to the changes that moving brings along as well as the new life you will experience!
Hola, Sass here! So, as we've already mentioned I lived in Washington, DC for college and upon graduating, I moved home to New Jersey to figure out what I was going to do with my life. Well, that lasted for all of 4 months before I picked up and move back to DC. I moved back because I had a sense of independence in DC that I was unable to achieve at home in New Jersey. I knew I could get my bartending job back just in time for football season and continue to look for a job both in NJ and in DC in the meantime because I never intended on staying in DC very long.
But then don't ya know it, 2 months after I moved to DC, I met my now husband and 6 months after moving there we were officially unofficially dating and the rest is history as they say. As he is born and raised right outside of DC, it looked like I was bound to the area forever.
That all changed, however, when a job opportunity presented itself for him in Boston, MA. You all know that I credit this move and the year we spent there as one our best years yet; it was the best experience. Within that year we got preggers and as you know, moved home to New Jersey.
So not only have I moved states several times but within those states I've lived in 5 apartments (not including college) so moving and I are no strangers. The process is an actual b*tch but each time I get more and more efficient. Boxes? Oh I've labeled each side with absurdly descriptive descriptions, like embarrassingly descriptive but who knows where any item is when I need it? THIS GIRL.
But all kidding aside, my recommendation is to be as organized as possible, even over the details that you don't think will really matter or that you take for granted when you are in a routine. For example, you will want internet set up ASAP, you will need a place to sleep immediately, you will want to know where to order delivery from the first night, and you will need to take off a day from work. I've attempted the "no days off" thing when moving and it really makes for a stressful first day at work in a new place or even in your same city just trying to find your stuff!
Hey everyone, it's Sweetness! As mentioned above, I have lived in New Jersey and Delaware during my childhood and college years. After college I moved back to NJ until I met my ex. We both lived in NJ for about a year, however he was from California and wanted to move back home. For me it was a no-brainer at first! I have always loved Cali (I dated a guy in college that was from there too!) and thought it would be really awesome to live in a state that pretty much everyone dreams of living in.
So off I went to LA to live with my ex and bring on a whole new life. I had these thoughts that every day would be sunny (which it was), we would go to the beach all the time (um hello, have you heard about the traffic?!), and also that we would have an amazing group of friends that we would always do fun things with (did I mention we lived in LA…). Though the sun was always shining and the beaches were beautiful, California was a different experience for me than I thought. It took over an hour to go 10 miles, which limited our travel to about a 2 mile radius and the people I experienced in LA were not the most welcoming with open arms.
My expectations before the move were high and when I first got there, though it was exciting, it was MUCH harder than I thought. Yes, it was fun going to Home Goods and finally having my own space with my then boyfriend, but boy do you realize how much in a routine you were in your last place you lived to only realize EVERYTHING changes. Like literally everything, even those small things that you don't realize, which we will be talking about in our next post!
So we believe everyone should step out of their comfort zone and make a move that will give you a new experience, just make sure to really evaluate the move before you do it! You will miss things about the old place you lived and love things about this new place. Sometimes this will be great, sometimes they will be not so great. Keep your expectations low and if you are struggling and having a hard time, make sure you have someone you can turn to!

Client Stories » Duncan and Michelle Brown
Duncan and Michelle Brown
Pongaroa, Tararua, New Zealand
From no plan to no stopping us!
"It was tough going for us just before we joined the Growfarm® team. Now we know where we are going and how to get there. There is no going back!"
Life has changed incredibly for Duncan and Michelle Brown, Growfarm® clients from Pongaroa, Tararua, New Zealand. Even their banker says their progress has been nothing short of exceptional over the last 2½ years. "We are thankful for a friend passing on our names to Brendon from Growfarm® because we have learned how to look at our business properly from a business point of view and also what we can do to work smarter, not harder, to achieve our goals," reflects Michelle.
Having started on their current block (a piece of land that seemed like the farm in the district that no-on else wanted to farm), tough seasons and poor animal performance took the gloss of a promising farming career under their own steam. "We didn't like how under the conventional mindset we were behind the game with a lack of clarity on where we were really heading," says Michelle. "Stock performance was poor and we had no strategies for dealing proactively with challenging seasons. After coming on board with Growfarm® we saw that the system for generating profit under any season and market conditions was actually quite logical!"
Duncan agrees. "Once we understood profit periods, which animals were making profit, which ones weren't and at what times of year, the fog tended to clear enough to make forward progress. Results got better and better because we worked hard at dotting the i's and crossing the t's in terms of stocking rate, animal condition and target pasture covers at the key times of the year. It wasn't easy going through that transition and we encountered many potential challenges. But they were mainly because the profit system was new to us. We knew that to get results and get value from the system we had to work at it and boy are we glad we did!"
"We learned how to set meaningful goals for us and how to focus on fully feeding profit animals during profit periods. We got rid of unnecessary animals and put our energies into what we needed to do to get the results we wanted." Michelle adds, "we have managed now to work more fertilizer into the budget on top of generating more spare cash, which is helping to move things on up. We are very happy to be keeping it simple and doing what it takes!"
Along the journey there was the birth of their daughter, as well as health challenges for both Duncan and Michelle. By keeping clear on the pathway forward and on the bigger picture they were able to keep the focus where it needed to be. "Now we have clarity and certainty about the way forward, including our next steps in developing towards our business goals. We have belief in ourselves that we can do it, that we can make it happen. As far as we are concerned there is no stopping us!" laughs Duncan.
"We like how the Growfarm® System allows any farmer on any farm in any location to make profit, regardless of all of the traditionally accepted constraints. We know that wherever our next steps take us we can create results. The confidence and belief in ourselves now is something we wouldn't swap for anything!"


How can the NFF avoid another leadership crisis?
The Aiteo Cup quarter-finals second legs take place on Saturday across three centres, and while holders FC Ifeanyi Ubah have one foot in the semis, reigning champions Plateau United must overturn a first-leg deficit.
Just over a week after winning the NPFL title, United were brought back to earth in Lokoja on Wednesday when they lost the North Central Derby against Niger Tornadoes 2-0.
International commitments and suspensions have denied Kennedy Boboye several key players, but having masterminded the Jos-based club's maiden league triumph, he'll be hoping to capitalise on Tornadoes' underwhelming away form at the Rwang Pam Stadium.
Sunshine Stars are another domestic heavyweight who have to overturn a first-leg deficit, although they'll still be asking themselves how they managed to lose to 10-men Osun United in Oshogbo.
Tosin Omoyele's winner was the different in the first leg, but Unite are without suspended Emmanuel Osigwe, and Duke Udi's Stars ought to be considered favourites to progress on the day if they start strongly.
In Ilorin, it will take a mammoth effort from ABS FC to deny FC Ifeanyi Ubah a spot in the semi final after they ran out 3-0 winners in Nnewi in the first leg.
The defending champions were dominant on the day, and recently relegated ABS are unlikely to enjoy further cup progress as they look to salvage a disappointing season.
Instead, expect Ifeanyi Ubah frontman Godwin Obaje to heap further woe on the home side, but could Adeshina Gata inspire ABS to an unlikely comeback?

Амазонський фемінізм () — течія фемінізму, що підкреслює жіночу фізичну силу як засіб для досягнення гендерної рівності. Прихильниці руху пропагують образ жінки-воїтельки, статури та подвиги спортсменок, майстринь бойових мистецтв та інших міцно збудованих жінок у суспільстві, мистецтві та літературі.

Історія

Членкинь збройного суфражизму, особливо тих, які практикували фізичну культуру або брали участь у насильницьких формах політичного протесту, часто називають «амазонками» романісти та газетні журналіст/ки.

Походження терміна «амазонський фемінізм» можна простежити в декількох джерелах, у тому числі у Томаса Гремстеда. Гремстед прагнув поєднати унікальні зображення героїзму Айн Ренд разом з тодішньою сучасною феміністською ідеологією й амазонськими поняттями. Це був частково натхненний книгою «У пошуках жінки-воїтельки» (). На початку 70-х рр. Глорія Стейнем звернула увагу на цю концепцію.

Located on the western edge of Lake Erie and at the mouth of the Maumee River, Toledo developed rapidly as a port and industrial and transportation center in the 19th and 20th centuries. Beginning in the early 1870s, Polish immigrants were found among the German settlers. By 1882, there were two Polish parishes established in two distinct Polish neighborhoods (Lagrinka in North Toledo and Kuszwanc in South Toledo) that continued to grow and expand through the mid-20th century. Toledo's Polish community was numbered among the 10 largest in the country and was home to the Paryski Publishing Company, which printed more than three million books in the Polish language. This book illustrates how people lived, worshiped, socialized, celebrated life, and maintained their ethnic heritage while also becoming patriotic Americans.
Author Bio: Rev. Richard Philiposki, a priest of the Society for Christ for Polonia, is the grandson of Polish immigrants on both sides of his family. He has lived and studied in Poland and has a great interest in ethnic and urban history and geography. He is currently pastor of the twinned St. Adalbert and St. Hedwig Parishes in Toledo. The Toledo Polish Genealogical Society eagerly embraced this book project and assisted in preparing this work.

SplashData, which provides password management applications, has published its annual list of the "25 worst passwords of the year". While the top three entries haven't changed from last year's list, there are several new contenders this year with "welcome", "ninja", "mustang", "jesus" and "password1".
Unchallenged as the most used, yet terrible password is still the simple "password", with an ascending sequence of the first six and eight numbers in a row making up the remainder of the top three. Classics like "qwerty", "monkey", "iloveyou" and "master" are still featuring prominently, as are "baseball", "football" and other simple dictionary words.
The list of passwords was compiled by analysing several millions of stolen passwords, resulting from various data breaches and break-ins, which hackers have posted on the internet. Anyone using one of the passwords on the list should obviously change them immediately. In general, it is never a good idea to use simple dictionary words as passwords and anything as obvious as "12345678" is trivially easy to guess.
Microsoft's Safety & Security Center provides a guide on how to create strong passwords that includes an online password checking service. Google also provides guidance on how to create sensible and more secure passwords.


Years ago I adopted an eleven year-old boy, who had suffered many traumas in his earlier life. From my side I became a single mother without previous experience, as I had no children.
Every so often when I would go into his room I would find it smelling simply awful! I made sure the room was cleaned regularly, and did everything I could to figure out what was smelling so bad in there.... After a loooong time (months really), it turns out that my son was bed-wetting and being terribly ashamed of it. He would remove the sheets from his bed, ball them up and stuff them into a chest he had for toys and treasures.
When I found out what was going on we had a long talk. I took him to the pediatrician, where I found out three things.
1. Bed wetting is not uncommon in pre-pubescent boys.
2. Barring some serious disease (not the case for my son), it is inherited from the father.
3. It goes away with the onset of puberty (which was the case with my son).
1. Using incontinence pants (aka diapers) at night. My son refused to wear these even though I left them in his bathroom where no one would know one way or the other if he had worn them.
2. Wearing an electronic device attached to his waist, which would vibrate and sound some sort of alarm to wake him to go to the bathroom. I think he tried this a couple of times (more out of curiosity about the device itself) but ultimately also decided not to wear it.
3. Covering his mattress with a protective plastic and cotton mattress cover and learning to do his own laundry. This is the option he chose!
Along the way in this adventure, there were many opinions offered to me by others. They ranged from "he is lazy and doesn't want to get up to go to the bathroom at night" or "he is afraid of the dark and doesn't want to go to the bathroom" to "he has some neurological disorder." All these opinions were incorrect and the pediatrician was right: at puberty the problem went away.
The moral of the story is: don't assume other "more experienced" people are well informed. Check with medical experts.
Meanwhile, my son became a laundering expert!!
What a very useful piece. Thanks. I forwarded it to a mom who was really upset about this recently. Really useful.
I wonder if anyone knows of any good books for children on bed wetting?
Find out whether your child is anxious about anything. is there a kid (s) at school teasing your child? A teacher who is difficult? A parent who is critical or abusive? When a child is tense or anxious during the day, the night may be the time to let go.
Also make sure the child drinks plenty of water during the day and stops drinking after 5pm.


John Carle created The World of Gilbert & Sullivan for WMNR in 1984. He started his performing career in New York City doing commercials and performing with the Group of Ancient Greek Drama. He was then cast by Dorothy Raedler in her Gilbert and Sullivan repertory company, The American Savoyards, as understudy to the "patter" man. The following season when he moved from understudy to leads in these famous roles the New York Times cited him as being "a master of the Gilbert and Sullivan patter roles." After touring nationally with Gloriana Productions, Gilbert and Sullivan à la Carte and others, he was invited to perform and direct for the Madison (Wisconsin) Savoyards for a number of seasons.

The delivery of education services is carried out by using credits (SKS) as a measurement of evaluating students' learning.
The Credits is a way of organizing higher education programs in order to explain its academic weight.
Semester is a minimum period that describes the duration of the education program.
The General Objective of the credits (SKS) method is to enhance the extent to which higher education can be developed. It involves the presentation of education programs that are flexible and more varied, gives greater opportunity to students when choosing programs, and focuses on planning a definite professional path.
Allow the students who are clever and diligent to finish their study in a minimum duration.
Allow the students to choose the subject according to their interest, talent, and capacity.
Give the possibility to the execution of education system with plural input and output.
Facilitate the adaptation of curriculum to a rapid development of knowledge and technology.
Enables the evaluation system of advance learning of the students could be conducted optimally.
In credit system, each subject has a weight namely credits. The number of credits of subjects is various. It is determined by the effort to finish the tasks presented in lecture program, job training, practical work, and other tasks.
In credit system, each subject is finished in one semester that lasts for 13 weeks (exclude mid exam and final exam). In addition to quantitative valuation, credit system acknowledges that the finishing of study unit could be valued in a quantitative manner by giving a weight to the relevant unit.
At BINUS Business School Undergraduate Program, 1 credit equals to 36-48 hours/semester. To attain the good result, a student is expected to provide 50 minutes face to face for each credit per week, and at least one or two hours of self-learning. The recently mentioned time is provided to recite and explore the material that has been accepted in the course, for example: reading the textbook suggested, doing the task, etc.
An academic hour of scheduled face to face learning in the classroom with education staff.
An academic hour of structured academic activity which is not scheduled but has been planned by education staff (lecturers) e.g.: review session or seminar.
An academic hour of independent academic activity like reading, summarizing, working on papers etc.
The delivery of education at BINUS Business School Undergraduate Program is achieved through teaching materials, discussion, speeches, case studies, job training, and practical work.
The examinations which are conducted by BINUS Business School Undergraduate Program consist of course examination and final project/thesis examination.
The examination for each course consists of two forms: Mid-term test (UTS) and Final test (UAS) that are conducted once in each semester. For the practical examination in the laboratory, the student must take both theory and practical tests.
Students who finish the report for the thesis take a thesis examination. The mechanism for the thesis examination follows the guidelines for the thesis of each program.
Students are registered during the prevailing semester or academic year and are registered with the subject for that particular examination.
Students are not on suspension or are taking academic leave.
Students fulfill other academic requisites, e.g : frequency of attendance.
Students fulfill all the administrative and financial obligations.
Note: Semester Final Score (NAS) determines the grade for the subject.
The evaluation system that meets the objectives of the education program at BINUS Business School Undergraduate Program is an Absolute Evaluation System.
The students must pass all courses which are stated in the table of prerequisites with minimum score required is D (for certain department, the minimum score required is C).
Students must attend tutorial courses and multipaper exams which are stated in Quality Controlled Courses List.
For leave or remedial students, they do not require to follow the tutorial, but they are still required to follow multipaper exams.
Passing the final examination of final project/thesis and collect its hard covers.
Obtaining minimum cumulative credits of 146 (including the thesis) for Undergraduate programs. The double majors have its own rules. Otherwise stated as elective courses, all courses (Mata Kuliah) are compulsory.
Achieving GPA at a minimum of 2,00 and finishing all obligatory subjects.
Passing all of the subjects of Quality Controlled Courses (PM).
Not having an outstanding loan (finance, library, and administration).
In the year 2014/2015, BINUS UNIVERSITY started implementing 3+1 curriculum for all undergraduate programs, which allow students to have a one-year enrichment program. The program consists of 2 semesters with 8 credit units to 16 credit units each. Students may choose 5 tracks for each semester, namely 1) Internship Track; 2) Entrepreneurship Track; 3) Community Development Track; 4) Research Track; 5) Study Abroad Track. By the end of each semester, each student will submit an enrichment report and assessment related to technical competencies in his/ her disciplines and soft skills.
Considering the urgency of enrichment program to achive learning outcomes, it affects all courses in enrichment program to become one entity. It means that if there is one or more than one failed courses in enrichment program, the whole courses in enrichment program will also be failed.
The aim of Industrial experience track is to facilitate students in the real industrial setting. By following this track, students will work full time and have exposures to the industrial experience in multinational or top national companies with study program related to job task. The assessment for this track will involve both industry supervisor and faculty member supervisor to give the assessment for students. Through this program, students will also have opportunities for future employability/job offer, and talent grooming (e.g. MT Program, LD Program).
This track provides students with real experiences to become entrepreneurs through business start-ups. Students will come to the office at Binus Campus from 09.00 – 18.00 from Monday to Friday. The Office will be supported with Coaches, Content & Administration officers, and Program Officers. Student's Entrepreneurship track who's ready with the prototype product to be monetized will be supported internally with links to industry within the program. External supports will be provided by Mentors from industry related to the business Start Up.
Community Development is a program conducted by students to achieve the 5th mission of BINUS Business School Undergraduate Program to improve the quality of life of Indonesian and global community. These initiatives include: 1) Scheduled Voluntary Services incorporated in a Company's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) or a Social Foundation's Program; and 2) Community Development activities to improve community's ecosystems. Apart from utilizing their knowledge to design and implement a system in communities (excerpted from their technical competence and soft skill), students will also have direct interaction with local people as well as enjoy the opportunity of living in with them.
This track allows students to get involved in conducting research related to the study program scope. Student will be attached to a team that conducts a research as a junior researcher. The research itself can be conducted in BINUS or outside BINUS (e.g. government research institution, R&D unit in a company). Students can start from writing a research proposal or jump directly into an ongoing research activity in that institution (not necessarily developing a research proposal).
This track will give students opportunities to have study experience in foreign countries. Courses that are taken by students are transferred directly to the respective courses in BINUS transcripts. Through this track, students will be able to expose themselves to international experiences, such as personal development, academic development, and cultural value.
To finish the Undergraduate program (S1) at BINUS Business School Undergraduate Program, the student must be capable of compiling and presenting the thesis to the examiner.
The thesis compilation must be relevant to the rules of the department. It must be conducted by the individual, guided by a supervisor that is appointed by the head of the study program or program.


Well, that didn't take too long. My Leica gear arrived back from Miles Whitehead sooner than I'd anticipated. I'm pleased with the way everything has cleaned up but not ecstatic. Miles has done a very good job from what I can see but there was a limit to what he could do for the Summicron and Summaron.
The 50mm has had some fungus on a rear element at some point and this has slightly etched the glass. The lens appears sparkly when you look through it but use a torch to light it up and you can see some spidery traces. I'd have loved it if the Summicron had emerged like new but I'm not too bothered really. It was a good sharp lens before it was cleaned and it should only be even better now. The Summaron is better than it was but it proved impossible to remove all the haze that you could see when looking through it. There's still a thin veil of mistiness visible. Again, though, it was fully usable before and will be better now. Both have been rebuilt with new helical grease and are buttery smooth.
Despite Miles finding some interior corrosion in the M2 which he reckoned prevented it being as smooth as when it was new, it feels good to me! The MDa is about 15 years younger than the M2 but I can't really discern any difference in the smoothness quotient between the two when it comes to winding on. The M2 shutter is firing properly again and the viewfinder is nice and clear. The MDa's shutter problem has also been sorted. OK, I don't have an outfit that will perform quite as well as when it was made but it's still in pretty good nick - cosmetically excellent, I'd say - and fully capable of doing a job of work.
So on now to finding a 25mm finder to match the 24mm Zuiko that will soon be attached on a semi-permanent basis (assuming it works well) to the MDa. And if anyone has any leads for a not-too-expensive 90mm Elmarit, please let me know.
I'm thinking about getting a pair of wrist straps as well for the cameras. It's not been my practice in the past to hang the cameras around my neck, preferring to keep them in a Domke bag and just bringing them out as needed. Having neck straps on the cameras causes a bit of a guddle in the camera bag, I've found. It would make more sense to have short straps on them to provide a bit of security when hand-holding but without everything being snarled up in the bag.
I had a quick look at what's available and there's a mind-blowing variety out there. It seems a wrist strap cottage industry has sprung up with every man and his dog riveting, stitching, gluing and binding bits of leather to metal clasps and split rings. Some of this is about man jewellery. In fact, most of it is about man jewellery if we're being honest. (See Steve Huff's website for more sordid details about the seedier side of Leica ownership but remember to clear your browser history.) I'll be going for something strong and cheap.
I've got a tough test in store for Miles now if he fancies it. A very fungusy 35-80mm f2.8 Zuiko - one of the best OM lenses ever made. If he can sort that one out I'll be chuffed to bits. I also have a partially dismantled 6x4.5cm Ensign Selfix Autorange folder that I'd love to get going. I took the lens apart a while back to repair a broken shutter, fixed it using a part from a similar shutter, put it all back together again and, just when I was feeling quite proud of myself, managed to lose three tiny grub screws vital to the focusing action. They disappeared into the ether and are probably nestled up against the ball bearing that flew out from my 40mm Focotar enlarging lens when I was giving it a clean, leaving me without click stops. Despair! And increasingly, I've found, that's my default condition.
Ah, the campness of Leica sundries - take it from me Bruce, don't go down that route - this stuff, whilst REALLY beautiful, just seems like a good way to milk you of your money - the prices are extraordinary.
I've carried the M2 around on the wrist strap from my old Olympus MjU, but have abandoned that in favour of a Domke Gripper neck strap, which works nicely and is pliable and secure. For wrist straps if you don't mind the very clumsy modern look go something neoprene and Op-Tech. Nice quality, not too expensive and reliable carriers.
I've done the Leica on a wrist strap thing quite extensively, it works very well, and is fast and easy, but you never struck me as a sort of 'street snapper'.
When thinking about this, I always keep in my mind the self portrait of Ernst Haas, called "Self Portrait, NY, 1971"
as you can see he's holding a Leicaflex, and it is on a short neck strap - your photos, whilst not colour remind me of Haas in some way I can't define . . .
On your advice, I looked up Steve Huff.
How can I live without a pokerwork hot-shoe cover? How can you? Yeee-Ha!
The hot shoe covers are hilarious. As are the various sculpted wooden handgrips that fit the Leica and cost about half as much as a secondhand body. The only thing I really covet in that line is an Ona Bowery leather camera bag but fortunately it costs around £250.
Small thought: Those lanyard things that are used for identity tags are very cheap and sturdy and might be useful for maintaining contact with the camera. Soft enough to wrap around the hand or reap round the camera when in its bag. I use one for a meter. They are also available in bright colours, which could reduce the apparent seriousness of the camera. Might even reduce its appeal to an opportunist thief, too.
I've got a plan in mind involving braided paracord. Just bought 25ft of the stuff from EBay for 99p including postage - enough for five straps. I'll let you know how it goes once I've worked out the braiding routine. Might need Cath's assistance.
Hope its real paracord Bruce - do a test, though that being said it should be fine for the lightness of the leica. If you google say Woodcraft and paracord weaving, there's some enterprising souls with a lot of time on their hands who have come up with some really interesting braided wrist things which you could adapt - the more I write this the more I think you have had a great idea here.
Oh, and if you're buying a split ring, trust me, don't get shite ones - get proper USA, British or European made stainless steel FISHING ones - designed for sea fishing - there is a hell of a difference between proper stainless steel and the parade of guff that appears from the Far East.
Sorry that should have said Bushcraft, not Woodcraft . . and Ernst Haas - well yes, I can see bits and bobs.
This is beginning to sound as if you're going to knit a tiny Fair Isle pullover for it.
Now I've said that, slipping it into a sock would protect it from scratches and envious eyes. Socks are widely available. Fishing socks? Are there fishing socks?
Haha. Well, we've had the Ralph Gibson Leica so why not the Frank Spencer version? Non-UK readers and those below 40 will have to Google that one.
Not entirely frivolous. I was thinking of a story my grandfather told me of a miner who took his hot tea in the glass innards of a Thermos flask down to the coalface, wrapped in a sock. For some reason, the outer part had vanished and being a Yorkshireman, he was opposed to unnecessary expense of any kind. Yorkshire and Scotland share a reputation for creative parsimony, but in Yorkshire, they say less.

This Epic Train Ride In New Hampshire Will Give You an Unforgettable Experience
Train rides aren't usually associated with thrill, but in New Hampshire they are! The Granite State is home to Mount Washington, the tallest mountain in the Northeast at 6,288 feet. Unlike many tall peaks, there are multiple ways to reach the summit of Mount Washington: you can hike, you can drive, or you can take the train. That's right – there's a trail that goes directly to the rooftop of New England. Here's what you need to know about the Cog Railway, the most unforgettable train ride in New Hampshire.
Russ Seidel/flickr
The Cog Railway on Mount Washington operates from April to November, taking visitors on a three-hour tour to the summit of the tallest peak in New England, and back down to the base.
Dennis Jarvis/flickr
On its climb to the summit, the Cog Railroad passes three miles along the western flank of Mount Washington, offering riders sweeping views of the presidential range.
Robert Linsdell/flickr
The view from the cabin shows just how steep the climb is. In fact, the Cog Railway's track is the second steepest in the world, with an average grade of 25% and a maximum grade of 37%.
Susam Palm/flickr
The Cog operates a number of engines, from authentic coal-fired steam engines to biodiesel.
Brian Boucheron/flickr
Mount Washington's railway is the oldest cog railroad in the world. It first reached the summit in 1869!
Nick/flickr
Over the decades, the Cog Railway has undergone many renovations to ensure that it stays as safe as possible by utilizing the latest technology.
When the coach reaches the summit of Mount Washington, riders have an hour to take photos and enjoy the view. There is also a museum that offers history of the Mount Washington Observatory and the Cog Railway.
Mostly though, you'll want to enjoy the amazing views of the Presidential Range. From the summit you can see east to the Atlantic Ocean and North to Canada on a clear day.
Then, it's time for the most harrowing part of the journey - the ride down! For a moment it looks as if the train is going to disappear into thin air!

But you can rest assured that visitors have been safely riding the Cog Railway for nearly 150. years.

Consultation - the 'concordat' & support for research careers
Archive: RAE 2008
UCU as a union supports moves toward open access publication.
However, the union has been consistently critical of the government's support for the recommendations of the Finch report, which were to move rapidly toward 'gold' open access, which would have meant academic staff having to pay article processing charges to publish their work. Our Congress called on the union to campaign to ensure that 'pay to say' article processing charges would form no part of any open access regime.
Alongside many other academic bodies, UCU lobbied against the imposition of 'gold' access and we welcomed HEFCE's consultation document on its proposals to move toward open access on a 'green model'. Under the green model, publications could be considered open access if they are submitted to a repository in post-peer reviewed, pre-publication form. This would require academic staff to pay no article processing charges.
Read our briefing document on Open Access and HEFCE's proposals here [33kb].
UCU has now responded to HEFCE's consultation, having conducted a survey of more than 1,600 academic members in higher education. You can read our new campaign briefing, which updates members on the consultation response and the results of the survey here:
Open Access: UCU campaign briefing, Nov 13 [62kb]
UCU believes that like the REF, the issue of open Access publication raises profound issues about our research infrastructure.
We will continue to campaign to ensure that moves toward Open Access are implemented properly and fairly at institution level.

Biographical details can be found on this French site, where the photograph comes from, or on the new French chess problem site Problemiste here and here.
A delicious endgame with a beautiful ideal stalemate.
Hans Hilmar Staudte was a very strong player (some of his games here and more here) and chess composer. He also wrote several books about chess endings "Das 1×1 des Endspiels" with Milu Milescu in 1965, "Richtig und falsch" with Kurt Richter in 1962, "Aus der Welt der Schachstudie" alone in 1961.
He was also International Judge in chess composition.
An incredible ideal stalemate with 3 pinned white pieces. No wonder this endgame was qualified for the 1989-91 FIDE Album.
Two homogeneous variations with clearance sacrifice.
The attentive reader will of course remember the fairy twomover he composed in collaboration with Anatoly Khandurin in 1993.
Allumwandlung, but also promotion to S (respectively B, R, Q) after capturing a black S (respectively B, R, Q).
He is the son of composer Ladislav Salai sr. and a renowned composer of cyclic problems (see Cyclone by Peter Gvozdjak).
He is also a Grand Master in Solving.
Was it pleasant to solve?
Labels: de Villeneuve-Esclapon, january, Lewandowski, Postnikov, Salai jr., Staudte H.H.
Staudte also has a wikipedia page!
Ladislav Salai jr. has been International solving grandmasters of the FIDE since 2011. I wish him to be in a short time Grandmasters of the FIDE for chess compositions, too.

The Best Ways To Protect And View Multiple File Formats With DRM
More about viewing multiple file format with DRM.
If you're already using robust DRM controls in your organization, you must be wondering what the different options for viewing those protected documents are.
Many custom control DRM systems claim to be able to apply DRM controls to just about any file type. However, it's important to really check out what access and viewing options these systems offer as well as what functionalities accompany the protected files.
Most often, the methods outlined below only provide viewing options and restrict editing options.
1. Emulating the Original File Type Application
One way of viewing DRM-protected documents is to produce several custom viewing applications that emulate the features and functionalities of the original application at the recipient end. For example, viewing a .docx or .xlx file with the full range of functionalities available on Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel, respectively.
However, there are marked disadvantages to this. First, emulating the functionalities of a proprietary and widely used application can be expensive and time-consuming.
Second, when an "enveloped" file (rather than a file that has integrated document security) is released into its native application, a lot of code conflicts can occur when you're trying to restrict certain actions, such as copying or saving the content in the protected documents. This event provides an excellent opportunity to unauthorized users who are actively hunting for vulnerabilities in a document. So, attackers can actually pinpoint what aspects to aim for which eventually ends up compromising the document's security.
2. Adding a Security Add-on
A common solution that many DRM systems provide for protecting or viewing a document is by adding a plugin or add-on in to the application. However, neither protection nor viewing is foolproof if you use this method. Also, DRM systems that propose such add-ons are often unable to keep up with the system updates of the original application which leads to undesired consequences such as users not being able to access their documents or failures in the security system.
So, this option is, in fact, one of the worst for viewing a protected document. This is because you're actively compromising the security of the application and annoying your end users when the original application updates or breaks the plugin.
Also, the main application provides such third-party plugin makers the access which practically allows potential attackers to switch to a mode that lets them view the code they're trying to crack. (Yes, they can attack the code that outlines the edit, save or copy access which the plugin is trying to restrict.)
3. Preferred Method: Create Meta-Forms of a Document
The most preferred viewing option for protected documents is to convert them into meta-forms and restrict any additional changes to the original form because your primary aim is to provide viewing access rather than to emulate all the features of the original application.
Developers who are creating a viewer application can use System Development Kits (SDKs) to provide only viewing functionalities for different file formats. Moreover, by isolating the protected documents from native application add-ons or avoiding enveloping measures, the developers of viewer apps can rule out the threat of attackers trying to peek into the code to see what aspects are restricted.
Are Native Applications Preferable in This Case?
If you thought using the native application as a viewer for a protected document is the most prudent and straightforward solution, think again.
Native applications, in fact, offer all the functionalities that you're trying to restrict in a document, making it easier to abuse the controls on the protected document. In addition, the more widely used document formats (like PDF) can even be viewed across various operating systems, such as Mac or Linux.
So, when you opt for a DRM system that claims to support different file formats, be sure to check out the added functionalities. Most often, these systems provide an option to convert multiple formats into a specific secure format for recipients and usually don't provide options for editing, which actually defeats the purpose of claiming to support the different file formats.
In the end, don't confuse DRM with network access controls. In essence, network access controls oversee the read, write, execute or delete controls on an internal server. So, it controls the internal server or a set boundary but ceases to have any restrictions once the document has left the building. This is different from DRM that provides persistent protection that is a part of the document.

A Little Positivity: California Principal Donates Kidney To Former Student
Christine Buell learned about Kelvin Sanders III's health problems on Facebook.
Desire Thompson
This week isn't just the celebration of a new year, but an opportunity to celebrate the generosity of the season.
The Washington Post reports Christine Buell, 45, and Kelvin Sanders III, 20, will go into surgery Tuesday after the mother of two decided to donate one of her kidneys to Sanders, who is battling renal kidney disease. Buell, Sanders' former teacher-now-vice principal at Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory School in San Francisco, says she found out about Sanders' health problems on Facebook.

While browsing the social site, she saw a post from Sanders' family looking for a donor. Shortly after Sanders headed to San Francisco City College in 2014, he began feeling faint, lost a drastic amount of weight, and suffered from high blood pressure. Several tests revealed he had renal insufficiency and needed a donor as soon as possible.
After he started dialysis, several other family members and friends signed up to donate their kidneys, but were not a match. Buell underwent months of testing and found out she was the one.
Via The Washington Post:
Both Buell, who is Catholic, and Kelvin, who was raised Baptist, talk a lot about faith when explaining how they are feeling about the upcoming transplant.
"Everything happens for a reason," Kelvin said. "I was shocked and happy when I heard it was my teacher who was the match."
As for Buell, she said she is "going into this with 100 percent faith that this is the right thing to do. It is a gift given freely," she said.
The surgery was scheduled to happen before the holidays at The University of California-San Francisco (UCSF), but after a donor died following their surgery, it was changed to another hospital. The chances of death in a kidney transplant are 0.06 percent. UCSF has suspended kidney surgeries until they determined what happened in the fatal surgery. The recipient is doing well and their identity has been kept hidden due to the death.
Sanders' mother was frightened to hear about the tragedy and feared Buell would back out.
The Post reports:
"I broke down," Kelvin's mother Nicole said when she heard the news. "I was worried about Christine and maybe she shouldn't go through with it. She assured me as tears were running down my face that she understood there was a chance of something happening to her but that she was confident she would be in the percent that is fine. That lady is amazing."
In the months when Buell was going through the testing, she said she learned a lot about herself both mentally and physically. "Apparently I'm healthy as a horse, which is good to know," she quipped. At every step, she said, UCSF told her she could change her mind and stop the process, but she said she never wavered in her decision.
Buell is hoping to be released in a timely matter after the surgery so she can spend New Year's Eve with her family.
Sanders and his family created a GoFundMe for Buell to help pay for her hospital fees. So far, $8,980 has been raised for the $10,000 goal.

Saint John's (Minn.) Athletics | October 14, 2018
DIII football: St. John's wins Tommies-Johnnies rivalry with record-setting passing duo
Sean Donohue | St. John's Athletics Senior wide receiver Will Gillach, following one of his two third-quarter touchdowns.
COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. — No. 7/8 Saint John's football forced seven turnovers and rode a record-breaking passing attack to an emotional 40-20 win over No. 3 St. Thomas on Saturday, Oct. 13, in front of an announced crowd of 16,922 spectators in Collegeville.
Junior quarterback Jackson Erdmann set a school record with 470 passing yards, on 28 of 53 passing, and three touchdowns in the victory. Fourteen of his completions were to senior wide receiver Will Gillach, who turned them into an SJU-record 256 yards and two scores.
The Tommies (5-1, 3-1 MIAC) were inches from making it a one-score game early in the fourth quarter, but junior linebacker Alex Sais forced a fumble on the one-yard line and All-American safety Max Jackson scooped it up for a 99-yard return for a touchdown.

— SJU Johnnies (@SJUJohnnies) October 13, 2018
The two teams combined for 1,149 yards of offense on 172 plays.
The Johnnies' victory snapped the Tommies' 31-game win streak against conference opponents (30-game regular season, one playoff). SJU (6-0, 5-0 MIAC) is now 52-35-1 all-time against UST, including a 25-12-1 record in Collegeville.
Honoring John
Saturday's game was the first for an SJU football program that lost its legendary coach, John Gagliardi, who passed away Oct. 7 at the age of 91. College football's all-time wins leader, Gagliardi totaled a 489-138-11 record in 64 seasons (465-132-10 record in 60 seasons at SJU). He was 43-17 against St. Thomas. Visitation is 4-8 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 14, at Saint John's Abbey Church in Collegeville and continues from 9-10:45 a.m. Monday, Oct. 15, prior to the Mass of Christian Burial at 11 a.m.

Throw Out the Stats
Saturday's statistics were mind-bending, considering where both teams stood nationally prior to kickoff. UST made the trip to Collegeville Saturday ranked first in NCAA Division III in total defense (124.8 ypg.) and second in four other categories: passing defense (109.8 ypg.), pass-efficiency defense (73.5), scoring defense (5.6 ppg.) and scoring offense (61.2 ppg.). SJU, meanwhile, was third nationally in scoring defense (5.8 ppg.) and 14th in total defense (233.8 ypg.).
Erdmann broke two SJU single-game records Saturday: passing yards (470) and yards of total offense (456). The previous school record for passing yards, 435, was set by Kurt Ramler '97 on Oct. 12, 1996, at Gustavus Adolphus. Pat Mayew '92 totaled 442 yards of offense against St. Thomas on Sept. 14, 1991.
Erdmann's 53 pass attempts tied Jordan Hansel '10 (Oct. 4, 2008 at Bethel) for the second-most in a game by a Johnnie. The record is 57, set by Alex Kofoed '07 in the second round of the 2007 playoffs at Central (Iowa). Eleven of Erdmann's 28 completions Saturday went for 20 yards or more.
Elsewhere in the Record Book
Erdmann passed Mayew and Nick Martin (2012-15) for seventh in school history with 4,821 career passing yards, and Mayew and Connor Bruns (2010-13) for the eighth-most pass completions (319).
Gilly Gilly
Gillach's 256 receiving yards surpassed SJU's previous record of 226, which was set by running back Rick Bell '83 against St. Cloud State on Sept. 11, 1982. The 100-yard receiving game was the first Gillach's career, which he reached early in the second quarter. The 14 receptions were the most by a Johnnie since Blake Elliott '03 caught 15 against Bethel on Nov. 8, 2003; Gagliardi's record-breaking 409th collegiate victory. Gillach's 255 yards from scrimmage (he carried the ball once for a loss of one yard) were the eighth-most in SJU history (Bell totaled 375 yards in 1982's win over SCSU).

Long Return
Jackson's momentum-shifting, 99-yard fumble return for a touchdown tied the longest in school history. James Schafer returned a fumble 99 yards in a similar fashion (also along the near sideline, from the other end zone) in the Johnnies' 34-0 shutout of fifth-ranked Bethel on Oct. 27, 2001, in Collegeville. Saturday's touchdown was Jackson's school-record fourth defensive score of his career. He tied for the team lead with nine tackles (five solo) and broke up two passes on the afternoon.
SJU intercepted UST's Jacques Perra (25 of 53 for 339 yards) five times and forced two fumbles in the win. The Tommies had committed five turnovers, total, through their first five games this season. Junior safety Ryan LaCasse recorded two of the five interceptions, while both of SJU's starting cornerbacks (Chris Harris and Sam Westby) each had a pick. Even junior nose guard Kyle Borgeson got in the action, recording SJU's first interception by a defensive lineman since 2014 (Blake Bellefeuille '15 vs. St. Scholastica).
Tommie Offense
St. Thomas posted 610 yards of offense, 256 of which came from senior running back Josh Parks (22 carries). Eerily enough, Parks and Gillach (256 receiving yards) were high-school teammates at Chisago Lakes. Parks transferred to SJU from Division I Minnesota in the fall of 2015 but left before classes started. He sprinted to a 92-yard touchdown on the Tommies' second offensive play and cut the Johnnies' lead to 19-14 with a 60-yard scamper on the first drive of the second half. Parks scored his third touchdown of the day, from one yard out on fourth-and-goal, late in the third quarter.
SJU converted nine of its 17 third-down attempts and held UST to just a 3-for-16 showing (4-for-9 on fourth down). The Tommies scored points on one of their four trips to the red zone. SJU was 0-for-11 on third down in last year's 20-17 loss to UST at Target Field.
The Johnnies host St. Olaf (5-1, 3-1 MIAC) for a 1 p.m. kickoff next Saturday, Oct. 20, in Collegeville.

Stephen Cushman: On "Corsons Inlet"
. . . from the late fifties or early sixties on, Ammons's work demonstrates an awareness of Williams, whether in its use of the rigorously enjambed, short-line stanza, which is one of Williams's trademarks, or in its deepening commitment to the minimally noted fact--what Bloom calls "Ammonsian literalness"--or in direct quotation and allusion, as in this passage from "Corsons Inlet":
the possibility of rule as the sum of rulelessness:
the "field" of action
with moving, incalculable center:
in the smaller view, order tight with shape:
blue tiny flowers on a leafless weed: carapace of crab:
snail shell:
pulsations of order
in the bellies of minnows: orders swallowed,
broken down, transferred through membranes
to strengthen larger orders: but in the large view, no
lines or changeless shapes: the working in and out, together
and against, of millions of events: this,
so that I make
no form [of]
formlessness.
Commenting that "in a difficult transitional passage, the poet associates the phrasal fields of his metric with the 'field' of action on every side of him," Bloom either ignores or does not recognize Ammons's direct reference, signaled by his use of quotation marks, to the title of Williams's important essay "The Poem as a Field of Action" (1948). Among other relevant remarks, that essay argues that "our prosodic values should rightly be seen as only relatively true." Furthermore, if in doubt about the presence of Williams in "Corsons Inlet" and in the period of Ammons's life from which it comes, one has only to look to the piece that precedes it in the chronologically arranged Collected Poems. Titled "WCW," this short poem exults: "What a / way to read / Williams!" Even the most skeptical antagonist of influence theory, let alone its chief formulator, would have a difficult time ignoring these signs.
The transitional passage from "Corsons Inlet" is difficult, but it bears directly on "The Ridge Farm" and on a larger discussion of form. In the lines "this, / so that I make / no form of / formlessness," the antecedent of "this" appears to be "the working in and out," recalling "the coming and going," "of millions of events," each reflecting some degree of order. This working in and out, then, reveals itself to the "I" of the poem, informing and instructing his poetic procedure ("so that I make"). The question is, What do these lines mean? Do they mean that having been instructed by the events of Corsons Inlet, the "I" will not attempt to impose a form on an overall, subsuming formlessness, a kind of undifferentiated plenitude that transcends the polarities of form and no form?
At least one statement from Sphere could be enlisted in support of this reading: "The shapes nearest shapelessness awe us most, suggest / the god." Formlessness, then, is an attribute of what is too large and remote to be trapped into shape, call it the god, the Most High, the One, or Unity. But although this reading may persuade locally, it presents two problems for "Corsons Inlet." First, Ammons admits quite explicitly, in terms that suggest his differences with Emerson, that "Overall is beyond me," and "Scope eludes my grasp." In other words, the working in and out of millions of events does not lead Ammons toward the apprehension of transcendent formlessness, even though forms nearest an ideal formlessness may awe him most. Instead, they reveal to him the contours of form in a natural landscape where "terror pervades" because a controlling form appears to be missing. But he refuses to fasten himself to the limited forms he can recognize ("I ... will / not run to that easy victory"), vowing instead to extrapolate from limited forms to larger, more inclusive ones. Meanwhile, he knows and celebrates the knowledge that no form he discovers can be all-inclusive.
Second, if it is true that for Ammons formlessness is an attribute of overall Unity, then there must be two kinds of formlessness with which he concerns himself. Like Stevens's two versions of nothing in "The Snow Man," Ammons's versions of formlessness imply both a condition to be aspired to and a condition to be escaped from. When he explains in "The Ridge Farm" that "one hugs form because / he fears dissolution, openness," he cannot mean that formlessness offers him order or stasis, which some would consider attributes of Unity. He means that form defends him against extreme randomness, chaos, and disintegration. The declaration of mental independence in "Corsons Inlet," "I was released from forms," is deceptive. It does not mean that the speaker now enjoys an Emersonian transparency, as he becomes one with formless Unity. It means that having shed preemptive, a priori forms of thought, he must discover or invent new forms to ward off the terror of dissolution. The search for new form is every bit as urgent as the flight from old, and it is this urgency, and the preoccupation with form it engenders, that links Ammons so closely with Williams.

Yes, this is an attention grab by Rev. Jackson. He heard about ESPN's impressive ratings for "The Decision" and, like a mafia don, wants to wet his beak. Why let Jim Gray and ESPN executives have all the fun exploiting LeBron's naivete?
There's enough of LeBron's carcass for Jesse to feast, too. And Gilbert's childish letter to Cavaliers fans in the wake of LeBron's departure gave Jackson the opening he needed to break out his knives and forks.


The cold crisp air that might otherwise keep you inside provides some of the clearest and darkest skies of the year, so even with this week's bright moon, some major stars and constellations stand out against its glare.
Sunset Thursday finds the near-full moon high in the east, between Betelgeuse, the shoulder of Orion, below, and the twins of Gemini, Pollux and Castor, above. From these two stars wends the stars the Great Winter Circle, more aptly called the Great Winter Hexagon, which contains seven of the 23 brightest stars.
To trace this asterism, begin with blueish-white Pollux (17), then look to honey-orange Castor (23) higher in the north. From there shoot to the northeast to golden Capella (6) of the constellation Auriga the charioteer. Next, drop southwest to red Aldebaran (14), the eye of Taurus the bull. Now shift your gaze to Orion's foot, blue-white Rigel (7). Farther south is the hunter's great dog, Canis Major, marked by Sirius, the brightest star in the heavens. Back to the northeast you'll find the Little Dog Canis Minor and its lead star Procyon (8). Return to Pollux and you've closed the loop. While not part of the circle, Betelgeuse sits right in the middle and is the 10th brightest star.
As the sun sets Saturday, January's full Wolf Moon climbs into the eastern sky, trailing Castor and Pollux and to the left of Procyon. By Monday the now-waning gibbous moon has left behind the Great Circle and is just a few degrees to the south of another stellar luminary, Regulus (21), the heart of Leo the lion. Tuesday the moon is midway between Regulus to the west and Jupiter to the east. Wednesday night through dawn next Thursday, the moon is 10 degrees below Jupiter.
Brighter than any star, Jupiter rises due east just after 9pm and is at its highest in the south at 3am. By that time Mars, rising around 1:30am, will be well above the southeast horizon. Saturn rises just after 4am, followed 90 minutes later by Venus, brighter than all but the sun and moon. Saturn and Venus are about 15 degrees apart, but the Morning Star sinks lower day by day while Saturn inches higher. As the coming sun starts to glow in the east, see if you can spot Mercury low against the horizon; binoculars may help spot this last of the naked-eye planets.
Most prominent in Taurus is its fiery eye, the orange-red star Aldebaran. From there look for the bull's face, marked by the V-shaped Hyades star cluster. Aldebaran is at one leg of the V, although not itself a part of the Hyades. Higher to the right marking the bull's shoulder is the Pleiades Cluster.
Monday the waxing gibbous moon sits at one point of a triangle with Aldebaran and the Pleiades, although you may be hard-pressed to spot the cluster against the glare of the moon.
Tuesday after sunset look for the moon just right of Aldebaran and the Hyades Cluster. Then, just before 9:30, watch as the moon passes over the bull's fiery eye, occulting it from view for almost an hour.
In the hour before sunrise, clear skies in the southeast should allow you to see the four naked-eye planets currently visible. Closest to the horizon are Venus and Saturn. There should be no mistaking Venus, blazing at –4 magnitude. Saturn, roughly 10 degrees higher, is more than 60 times dimmer at magnitude +0.5. Don't confuse Saturn with the nearby star Antares; the ringed planet shines with a steady yellowish glow, while the not-quite-so-bright star twinkles with a red hue. Antares, Saturn and Venus do, however, form a nice triangle.
Imagine a line from Venus to Saturn, and extend it another 20 degrees or so to find Mars and farther still for Jupiter. Mars is not as bright as Saturn, while Jupiter is the next-brightest starlike object after Venus. You should be able to tell both from blue-white Spica a dozen degrees above Mars.
You might be able to spot the last the naked-eye planet, Mercury, as early as Wednesday if you're lucky. It will be even lower than Venus in the glow of the coming sun. You'll likely need to scour the horizon with binoculars to first see this fleeting planet, which will present an easier target next week.
