Congressional Democrat candidate Dan Kohl recently released three ads in which he states that he is not a politician, that he won't take money from corporate PACs, that he will fight for term limits and that he won't vote for Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House. Despite what Kohl tells the camera, his history tells a different story.
Kohl is facing incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Glenn Grothman in November in the 6th Congressional District. In all three of the newly released ads, Kohl starts off by saying, "I am not a politician." However despite the repeated phrase, the ads fail to mention that Kohl's political career began in 2008 when he ran and lost for State Assembly. The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign reported in 2009 that the campaign cost him $311,709 dollars.
Over the past five election cycles, J Street's political action committee has contributed almost exclusively to Democrat candidates, including hundreds of thousands of dollars to Wisconsin ultra liberals, Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Madison), Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Madison) and Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Milwaukee).
…the activist group Kohl helped craft keeps company with politicians bent on breaking ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and breaking the bank with costly socialist experiments like Medicare for All.
In the ad "This Money" Kohl states that he "won't take money from Corporate PACs." However, Kohl served on the JStreetPAC board, and was tasked with expanding their donor base to fuel lobbying activities. The Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle reported in 2009 that Kohl stated his first task as political director of J Street was, "to broaden and deepen J Street's nationwide network of major donors and activists into a political action network that will drive the organization's lobbying and advocacy operation." Although the ad states Kohl would not take money from corporate PACs, a Federal Election Commission report shows that he has received tens of thousands of dollars from PACs to the Kohl for Congress campaign.
In Kohl's ad titled "This vote" he vows not to vote for Nancy Pelosi because "both parties need new leaders," a view perhaps influenced by the growing number of Democratic candidates who have denounced her in a bid for better political standing. Politico reported that there were "at least 20 House Democratic challengers who've publicly rejected the minority leader on the campaign trail." Regardless of who eventually holds the speaker title, it is clear that the Democrats would support a far-left agenda including tax hikes and potentially abolishing ICE if given majority control.
In the ad "This limit" Kohl says he supports term limits, but he's helped in financing the campaigns of longtime Democratic politicians while working for J Street. In fact, Kohl was also honored by J Street for his close ties to senior Democratic leadership in 2016.

Greetings from the Alexa Club!
Enthusiasts were delighted that so many people (perhaps 40-50) attended the first meeting of the Carlsbad By The Sea Alexa Club last week.
Using the Amazon Echo or Dot technologies has proved great fun and an enormous convenience for many of us, and sharing the latest "trick" we've discovered with our own use of "Alexa" has become a daily pleasure. We act like proud parents showing off our kids … or the owners of especially cute dogs … who revel in the admiration of others. Speaking personally, I haven't had this much fun with a "gadget" in years and years, not to mention that I find it useful. And Jessica Yoon (a member of Front Porch's Center for Innovation and Wellbeing, who shepherds the Alexa trials here) finds us new "skills" to try all the time … i.e., new things Alexa can do.
How is it useful, the uninitiated may ask? Well, I don't have to find a clock (and be sure it's got the right time and hasn't run out of batteries!) — I just ask Alexa the time. I figure out what to pull out of the closet to wear, and whether to put on extra sun block during my walk by asking Alexa for a weather report the night before. I get a "flash news briefing" from my favorite station (she gives you your choice — CNN, Fox, CBS, PBS. and even the BBC, if you prefer your news with a high-toned accent.) I am now letting Alexa keep my personal appointment calendar to back up my written notes (which I too often mislay).
I'm happily part of a small test group using Alexa to set our thermostats — all without moving from my easy chair, mind you — and turn on (or off) a night light at the far end of the living room, just by voice command. I set alarms and timers on Alexa — just in case I doze off over the novel I'm reading. I don't want to miss the time for my bridge game, do I? Nor leave the laundry in the dryer to get re-wrinkled because I nodded off and didn't get it out in time. Alexa doesn't nap and she wakes me in time to get the wash-and-wears out and onto hangers (Now if only I could train her to do that part too).
If you're a "hold out" who says, "Who needs this complication? I do fine without it," well yes, you do — thanks to all the help and services Carlsbad By The Sea offers us. True. But once you have accustomed yourself to saying "Alexa … good morning" and had her cheerfully announce "Good morning. Did you know this is National Shark Week? Ask me to tell you a shark joke." You'll be hooked. And you'll love it. Ask John Sanders or Chris Craig-Jones to set you up and get you started. There are Dots available through the Alexa Club. As the ad used to say "Try it … you'll like it." Guaranteed.
The Amazon Alexa, a voice-activated personal assistant, has commanded the attention and excitement of consumers since its release. In collaboration with residents and staff at Carlsbad by the Sea, a Front Porch retirement community, the Front Porch Center for Innovation and Wellbeing launched a pilot to explore the potential use case scenarios of this emerging innovation.
To learn more check out MIT Technology Review's recent article The Octogenarians who love Amazon's Alexa, or read our impact story on FPCIW.org.


More Dots: A superb book of dotwork here from a variety of different artists including Marco Galdo, Cory Ferguson, Daniel Dimattia, Ari Akkerman, Mo, Orge Kalodimas, Maxwell 114, Vlad Barlas and many many more. The book gives a great overview of dotwork and provides a brilliant inspiration for all those into pattern and dotwork.

Peter Drobac has played an important role in improving health care options for critically ill people in the world's most rural and impoverished communities, from Haiti to Peru and now Rwanda.
A skilled internist, pediatrician and infectious-disease specialist, Drobac's passion for medicine is equaled by his determination to bring comprehensive health systems to resource-limited areas. Although the challenges of working in global health are constantly changing, he finds the rewards to be unlike any other field of medicine.
"Global health gets to the very core of what it means to be a physician: to serve the sick and the poor, and to link that service to research, teaching and advocacy," he says.
Following graduation from the UW, Drobac spent time in Tanzania working as a children's rights advocate — an experience that would change his life forever.
"I met hundreds of kids living on the street, many because they had lost one or more parents to AIDS. Some were themselves HIV positive," recalls Drobac. "I saw children starving, dying, beaten, burned and jailed, all for the grave crime of being poor."
Despite the development of an antiretroviral treatment for HIV, it was, at that time, deemed too expensive and too complicated for Africa. Fueled by this injustice, Drobac returned to the United States to start medical school, determined to make a difference.
Today, he serves as executive director of Partners In Health (PIH) in Rwanda. This world-renowned nonprofit organization is dedicated to improving health for the poor and to strengthening the public health system in Rwanda in particular. By working with the local government, Drobac helps to provide comprehensive health care and social services to nearly one million people across three rural districts.
Drobac also chairs the board of directors of the Rwanda Biomedical Center, the agency responsible for implementing the country's national health sector. Likewise, he co-leads the Population Health Implementation and Training Partnership — a large research program focused on improving various aspects of health care in Rwanda's rural areas. When he's not in Rwanda, Drobac serves as an associate physician in the Division of Global Health Equity at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital. He also teaches global health and social medicine at Harvard Medical School.
"My UW experience brought me from state-of-the-art research labs to remote rural communities in Tanzania," he says. "I learned psychology, Swahili and semiotics. The UW exposed me to activism, social justice and the importance of service, all of which have informed my life's trajectory ever since."

City spares owners a tax increase
PETER GUINTA
St. Augustine's proposed $46.5 million budget for 2011 will require no tax increase and keeps city staffing at the same level, even though the city's revenue will be down $1.3 million because of lower property values, City Manager John Regan told the City Commission in a workshop this week.
"There will beno decrease in services," Regan said. "In fact, we are increasing services."
Those additional services include more crews pressure-washing streets and sidewalks, more frequent trash collection and more efforts to spruce up the Bayfront, Plaza de la Constitucion and other downtown areas.
On the other hand, homeowners may see a water and sewer rate hike of 2.3 percent, meaning the average monthly bill will increase about $1.38, Regan said.
In addition, Regan said city employees would see a 2.3 percent across-the-board wage increase.
"By creating a culture of loyalty, we keep our good employees," he said.
Commissioners plan to review the proposed budget Sept. 9 and 23.
Given the recession, however, they didn't expect the numbers to trend upward.
For example, the city expects $9 million in property tax revenue for 2010-2011, down from $10.3 million in 2009-'10. The reason for the loss of $1.3 million in taxes: The taxable value of St. Augustine's properties fell from $1.4 billion to $1.2 billion over one year due to the housing crisis.
Regan said the city's "management team engagement," where officials brainstorm ideas, found a few efficiencies and cost-saving measures.
* Eliminating 14 positions and reassigning three positions, saving $985,296.
* Reducing a 26 percent increase in health insurance to 2 percent, saving $645,000.
* Not painting city vehicles brown, saving $5,000.
* Electrical savings due to "green" equipment, saving $20,000.
* Purchasing retreads for city nonemergency vehicles rather than new tires, saving $15,000.
* Performing generator maintenance in-house, saving $12,000.
* Seeking competitive bids for liability and life insurance, saving $113,000.
* Installation of motion sensor light switches, saving $5,000.
* Reducing right of way maintenance to within city limits, saving $28,000.
The total saved was $843,000.
In addition, the city will save an additional $50,000 after changing incandescent bulbs in the parking structure to LEDs, light-emitting diodes. Officials said that job is about to go to bid.
"We tried to get rid of dinosaur programs," Regan said. "We expect that everyone in the city will be doing more work. Most of the positions eliminated were middle management."
Only one city department, Heritage Tourism, reported a deficit. It's down $440,000 in its $1.2 million budget, requiring it to replace that money from the general fund.
Assistant City Manager Tim Burchfield said Historic Tourism took that hit because $125,000 to $130,000 in rents that once came from tenants renting the state's 34 historic properties are not available to the city anymore and are instead collected by the University of Florida.
Spanish Quarter revenues were also down again this year.
Burchfield said, "We can easily double attendance next year, from 27,000 to 50,000, by enhancing the three entrances and making capital improvements to offer a better project."
The Taberna on St. George Street has already seen a "remarkable increase" in business, he said, adding that he projects a profit of $130,000 next year, "about 30 percent higher."
Under its agreement with the city, UF plans to spend $450,000 to $460,000 on improvements to 11 historic buildings in the St. Augustine area, including Government House.
Regan said that every year, a definite amount of money will be discussed for repairs.
"It will be an immediate jump start of capital improvement," he said. "As revenues increase every year, we'll get that (Historic Tourism) deficit down."
The City Marina and its $2.3 million budget is becoming known as a growing profit center.
It will clear $35,000 this year because its dockage revenue is up 24 percent, staff said.
Director of General Services Jim Piggott said the city would like to dredge and build a protective breakwater on the marina's north side to shield that dock from storm surges. But that would cost $2.5 million. It has become part of the city's $25.7 million wish list.
Piggott added that once it is built, the new breakwater could also be used to dock 37 more vessels.
With that extra dockage and with new mooring field rents being collected, the marina will prosper even more, he said.
"There will be no rate increases at the marina," Piggott said.
In his budget summary, Regan praised St. Augustine city employees for their high motivation, long-term commitment to the city and patience.
He addressed them directly, saying, "Your standard of living has gone down over time. This (proposed increase) is a chance to get that back."
St. Augustine's Bond Rating: A+
The rating reflects the following credit strengths:
* Extremely strong property values.
* A very diverse tax base.
* Very strong available fund balances.
* Low debt levels.

Alan Dzagoev has revealed he rejected the chance to join Chelsea despite Roman Abramovic's attempts to recruit him.
The CSKA Moscow legend played in a trial game with Chelsea during the earlier days of his career.
Avram Grant was in charge of the Blues at the time and was not convinced by the Russian midfielder.
CSKA Moscow legend Alan Dzagoev has revealed he rejected the chance to join Chelsea
But Chelsea chairman Abramovic informed his fellow countryman Dzagoev that the club would sign him regardless of Grant's wishes.
'It's true that Abramovich told us if we want to go to England, we just need to tell him,' Dzagoev told Sport Express.
'But at the time, the situation was a very confusing one for me. So, I decided to stay with the club.'
Dzagoev, 29, opted to remain in Moscow where he's been since 2008 and has gone on to make over 300 appearances for the club.
The midfielder has also won 59 caps for Russia, scoring nine times and was part of their 2018 World Cup squad that reached the quarter-finals.
At different stages of his career, Dzagoev had been linked with both Tottenham and Arsenal too, but insisted that he was never approached by either club.

A study of the TeachTown: Basics curriculum was carried out in four elementary schools in Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) during the 2009-2010 school year (Whalen et al., 2010). The participants were 47 students ages 3 to 6 years enrolled in the district's preschool and K-1 Intensive Comprehensive Autism Programs, a special day class program for students with an eligibility of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The students were enrolled in four preschool and four K-1 classrooms with no more than eight students in a class. The eight classrooms were randomly assigned to a TeachTown: Basics treatment or to a no-TeachTown: Basics comparison group. Over a three month period, students in the treatment group used the TeachTown: Basics computer-based lessons for approximately twenty minutes a day in the classroom. In most cases, the child's regularly scheduled 1:1 direct teaching time was replaced with TeachTown: Basics computer time. The study assessed children's growth in basic skill areas including social skills, receptive and expressive language, auditory memory, general concepts, matching, and body parts using the Brigance Inventory of Early Development (IED; Brigance, 2004), a criterion-referenced assessment.
Figure 1. Age equivalent gains in months on the Brigance® IED over three months of instruction.
At pretest, the treatment and comparison groups were similar in terms of chronological age and severity of autism symptoms, as measured by the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS, Schopler et al., 1986). After only three months of instruction, students who used TeachTown: Basics (n = 22) showed larger age-equivalent gains on the Brigance IED than students who did not use the program (n = 25) in all eight of the skill areas assessed. Gains for TeachTown: Basics students were between two and five months greater than the gains of students in the comparison group (see Figure 1). Most of the treatment students (15 out of 22) mastered lessons in TeachTown: Basics, with an average of 4-5 computer-based lessons mastered over the three month period; representing a minimum of 16-20 concepts learned. The study found a significant positive relationship between the number of lessons mastered and pre-/posttest change on the overall Brigance score: children who mastered more TeachTown: Basics computer-based lessons showed larger increases in Brigance scores after three months of instruction. The research was funded through a Technology in the Works grant from the National Center for Technology Innovation (NCTI), and was published in Autism—The International Journal of Research and Practice, a peer-reviewed journal.

Madison, CT Homes for Sale
Madison, Connecticut - Convenience, comfort, and beauty
Situated along a 36-square-mile stretch overlooking Long Island Sound, Madison, Connecticut provides a quintessential New England lifestyle. The town sits about halfway between Boston and New York, as each is reachable in about 2.5 hours, and is only 20 miles from New Haven, home of Yale University.
Madison is known for its old architecture, with many buildings from the 1600s still standing. The historic downtown area is also full of structures from the 1930s, some of which are now family-owned restaurants and boutiques. Of the town's over 18,000 residents, you'll find a sizable community of artists, in addition to accountants, lawyers, and other professionals who work in larger centers.
The five communities
Five distinct communities make up the town of Madison, with the most notable being Madison Center. Although this neighborhood isn't the geographical center of the town, it is home to many of the area's shops and restaurants, making it a local gathering spot. You'll also find Madison Green, a historic park that hosts concerts and farmers' markets, in this part of town.
The East River neighborhood is the town's westernmost area, as it borders the neighboring town of Guilford. There are a few restaurants and shops along Boston Post Road in the region, along with a marina with access to Long Island Sound, but most of East River is residential.
Hammonasset Point is the furthest south you can go in Madison, as it darts into Long Island Sound and is home to a natural area preserve. You'll find a state park and some beachfront homes for sale throughout this neighborhood, as well.
North Madison and Rockland are somewhat interchangeable, as the neighborhoods sit on the north side of town near Durham. North Madison is situated in the area where Durham Road and Old Toll Road meet, while Rockland is further north. Both communities feature dense tree cover offering plenty of privacy for residents, and lots of single-family homes.
In addition to Guildford and Durham, surrounding towns include Clinton and Killingworth, which are to the east. Interstate 95 runs right through Madison, providing easy access to other communities throughout southern Connecticut and into New York and Massachusetts, as well.
Madison, CT's history
The land that is now Madison, Connecticut was initially purchased by European settlers from the Mohegan and Nehantic Indians in 1641. This land was then settled in 1650, becoming part of Guilford and calling itself East Guilford. In 1707, the increasing population led to East Guilford dividing into a separate town. The area that is now North Madison separated in 1753, becoming North Bristol.
In 1826, the town of Madison was born. Named after President James Madison, the community became a regional hub for industries like fishing, farming, shipbuilding, and crayon manufacturing.
Buildings like Deacon John Grave House, Jonathan Murray House, Shelley House, and Allis-Bushnell House still stand from those early days, and living in Madison, Connecticut means interacting with history every day.
Parks, beaches, and amenities
There's plenty to do in Madison, starting with Hammonasset State Park. This 900-acre section is the state's largest shoreline park and features two miles of beach. There are also trails, meadows, and picnic tables here, as well as some of the region's best birdwatching.
West of Hammonasset is Bauer Park, which is 64 acres in size and offers nature programs for kids You'll also find hiking and outdoor activities at Rockland Preserve, a park with 649 acres of woodlands and trails in the north end of town. East Wharf Beach and Surf Club Beach are popular with locals, as well.
Away from the parks and beaches, Main Street is the place to be, thanks to its abundance of shops and restaurants. Freshly-shucked oysters and other seafood dishes are available throughout the downtown area, and you can also visit some boutiques and check out the history-filled buildings.
A year-round destination
Many people who buy real estate in Madison, Connecticut start as seasonal residents. We're seeing an increasing number of these buyers fall in love with the community, however, turning Madison into their year-round home.
Whether you're looking to buy a second home or want to make Madison, CT your full-time residence, Page Taft has you covered.

LOUISVILLE -- The more Leah Bradley drove through downtown Louisville on her way to work each morning, the more taken in she was by the wide assortment of quaint and charming homes that seemed to line each and every street.
She marveled at the unique architecture and bright colors, she was struck by the tidy porches and shuttered windows. Until one day in March, Bradley broke out her easel and her brushes, took up a position on the side of the road, and began to paint ... and paint ... and paint.
Two months later, she has painted -- oil on wood panel -- 30 houses in the historic downtown district, and she has her eye on 20 more.
"I kept admiring these little houses because they seemed like little still lifes to me," she said Friday, as she took up her station in front of a house on Jefferson Avenue. "They seem like little shrines to the beauty and comfort of ordinary things."
Bradley, a professional artist who specializes in still life paintings, said most homeowners whose houses have been captured by her brush don't even know it. It takes her about three hours to complete a painting.
Many of them hang on display at Eyeworks, an optometry office and eyeglass shop on Main Street where Bradley's husband works.
That's where Deb Kulcsar first saw the paintings and wanted to know if Bradley would paint her house on Jefferson Avenue, which is listed on the local historic register.
"One thing led to another and I said, 'I gotta have one of those,'" Kulcsar said. "They're fun and bright -- you look at them and there's action in them.
She and her husband commissioned Bradley for $140 to paint their small Queen Anne home, which Bradley had largely completed by mid-morning Friday. She used broad brushstrokes and a generous color palette to render an impressionistic view of the home.
Kulcsar can't wait to see the finished product. She notes that her house, where she and her husband have lived for nearly a quarter century, was featured in an old postcard of the city and looks largely the same today.
"This is a great tribute to how cool downtown Louisville is -- the history, the Italian influence, the culture," she said of Bradley's effort.
Linee Perroncel, who stumbled upon Bradley one day as the painter interpreted another historic home with her paintbrushes, was so impressed by what she saw that she asked Bradley if she wanted to hang her paintings inside Perroncel's downtown Louisville frozen yogurt shop, The LoCoYo, next month.
"They're fun, whimsical paintings and the couple that I've seen sort of embody what we do here at the shop," she said.
The showing, which coincides with the one-year anniversary of The LoCoYo's opening, begins June 22 and runs for two weeks.
"There's something very genuine and authentic in her work that's reflected in the town itself," Perroncel said.
Bradley doesn't know how much longer she'll continue painting the old homes of Louisville, but she wants at least to get to the ones that are in danger of being razed. She still kicks herself for not setting up her easel in front of a home on Pine Street that recently fell to the wrecking ball.
"There's so many of them that have been torn down," she said. "They are small, human-scale houses where people lived at a more simple level. There's something very meaningful about that."

Mitchell leads No. 22 SDSU past Boise State 78-66 in OT
Associated PressFeb 26, 2021, 2:54 PM EST
Orlando Ramirez-USA TODAY Sports
SAN DIEGO — After breezing through eight straight wins by an average of 26.4 points, No. 22 San Diego State was brought back to reality by Boise State.
Matt Mitchell scored 24 points, including four in overtime, and the Aztecs overcame 29 points by Derrick Alston Jr. to beat the Broncos 78-66 on Thursday night for their ninth straight win.
Trey Pulliam matched his career high with 18 for SDSU, which blew a 17-point second-half lead before recovering in overtime to take the inside track to repeating as Mountain West Conference regular-season champion.
"We knew this kind of game was coming," coach Brian Dutcher said. "It's getting to March, it's getting to conference tournament, it's getting to another hard game with Boise and hopefully if we play well enough, the NCAA Tournament. The rest of the games are probably going to have a feel like this."
SDSU (18-4, 12-3) took a half-game lead over Boise State (18-5, 14-4), which had its four-game win streak snapped. On Tuesday, the Mountain West awarded San Diego State a pair of forfeit victories over New Mexico. Those games do not count in SDSU's overall or formal conference record, but will count for seeding and conference championship implications.
That means the Aztecs control their own destiny. They host BSU again on Saturday and then finish with a rescheduled game at UNLV on Wednesday night.
Alston scored 22 points in the second half, including Boise State's first 11 points, to help bring the Broncos back from a 17-point deficit. BSU used a 14-0 run to pull to 52-51, getting three 3-pointers from Emmanuel Akot and a 3 from Alston.
"He just flipped a switch and was a great competitor in the second half and we're going to need every second of that when we play them again," coach Leon Rice said.
After Abu Kigab missed two straight inside shots, Alston hit a step-back 3 to tie it at 58 with 1:39 to go.
Mitchell converted a three-point play for a 61-58 lead and then hit two free throws with 27 seconds left for a 63-60 lead. RayJ Dennis hit a 3-pointer to tie it with 9.3 seconds left.
Mitchell was called for a charge and the game went to overtime. Mitchell made two shots sandwiched around a 3-pointer by Jordan Schakel, and BSU never recovered. Alston was 0 for 2 in overtime and Boise State, the league's highest-scoring team, had only three points in the extra period.
Mitchell said the only thing to do after blowing the 17-point lead was "just look your teammates in the eyes and tell them to dig in. It's something we've done in practice and we've dealt with different types of adversity. Boise State coming back from a 17-point lead was today's type of adversity."
The Aztecs fattened up on the conference's second-tier teams during their winning streak and then came out strong against the Broncos.
SDSU put on a defensive clinic in the first half, forcing 12 turnovers while BSU went just 3 of 17 on 3-pointers.
Pulliam had 11 points in the first 20 minutes, including a jumper off a rebound at the buzzer for a 29-17 lead.
"When you dig yourself that big of a hole, it's a long way back and a whole lot of energy," Rice said. "Our guys left it all out there. That first half they dictated everything that we did and we dug ourselves a big hole because that's how soft we were that first half.
"We adjusted and fixed it the second half, and I was proud of that."
Rice said he knows both teams will be eager for Saturday's rematch.
"These are two really, really good teams and that showed up tonight. We were getting blasted and we didn't lay down. Got it to overtime but didn't have enough in the tank," he said.
BSU took 40 3-pointers, making only 12.
Boise State: The Broncos are 8-57 all-time against Top 25 opponents, including 3-32 under Rice. One of those victories came at Viejas Arena on Feb. 28, 2015, 56-46 against No. 24 SDSU.
San Diego State: The Aztecs are playing for their eighth regular-season MWC title. They won the championship last year en route to a 30-2 overall record. They were expecting a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament before it was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The teams finish their two-game series on Saturday afternoon.

4th International Workshop on Solar Energy for Sustainability March 2016
4th International Workshop on Solar Energy for Sustainability, 21 to 24 March 2016.
We would like to invite you to the upcoming 4th International Workshop on Solar Energy for
Sustainability: "Photosynthesis and Bioenergetics" on 21 to 24 March 2016, held in celebration of
the 75th Birthdays of Prof Sir John Walker FRS and Prof Leslie Dutton FRS, and the legacy of Prof
Jan Anderson FRS.
Global bioenergetics relies on the continuous input of solar energy initiating with light-driven
charge separation and water splitting reactions of photosynthesis followed by the subsequent use of
the resulting high energy electrons and protons to drive the production of ATP either through
photosynthetic or oxidative phosphorylation. The resulting ATP is the energy currency of biology
and powers the processes of life including the synthesis of organic molecules. These molecules are
a store of chemical energy which is ultimately utilised by non-photosynthetic metabolism leading to
their oxidation back to water and carbon dioxide from which they were formed.
This meeting will cover various aspects of this bioenergetic cycle to which Prof Sir John Walker
(Nobel Laureate) FRS and Prof Leslie Dutton FRS have made major contributions. The cycle is
initiated by the reactions of photosynthesis and the workshop will also cover the regulation of
these processes in memory of the outstanding contributions made to this area of research by
Professor Jan Anderson FRS who recently passed away. Therefore this workshop will bring together
world leading scientists actively involved in understanding natural biological processes associated
with the flow of energy in biological cells.
Chaired by Prof James Barber (Imperial College London), the distinguished speakers include Prof Sir
John Walker FRS (MRC Cambridge), Prof Leslie Dutton FRS (University of Pennsylvania), Prof Rudy
Marcus (Caltech) and many others.

For enquiries, please email to the workshop secretariat at Photosynthesis@ntu.edu.sg
We would appreciate it if you could circulate this announcement to your friends, colleagues and stu
dents who might be interested to attend.

When setting up a new online business, the look of the website is something that is often overlooked, going for the functionality of actually having the ability for customers to make a purchase as soon as possible, rather than spending the time to make sure the website is at the highest possible standard prior to launch.
All online businesses should look at the website the same way they would a bricks and mortar store. It is the focal point of the business, the place where you are going to be able to entice customers to actually make a purchase. While you will be using other marketing channels to draw these visitors through to your website, it is going to be the layout of your website itself and the content on it that is going to transition these visitors into purchasing customers. To do this you are going to need to look at a number of different factors.
As soon as a visitor lands on your website, the look of your site is going to provide them with a substantial amount of information about your business. Think of your website the same way you would someone driving a car. When you see someone driving down the street, you instantly base their social standing and situation based on the quality of the car they're driving. The better the car, the better the opinion and your website is no different. If a customer lands on a website that looks to be of a high quality and professional, it is instantly going to create a positive impression that encourages them to delve further and begin the purchasing process. If your website doesn't look too hot and gives the impression of being cheap and just not too good, it is going to put customers off making a purchase and will probably result in them leaving your site and never coming back.
The look of your website should not only be professional, but reinforce your brand image. This means clearly identifying your brand name logo and the colour scheme that makes up your business. The idea is to make your website instantly recognisable so a customer can clearly identify who the website belongs to, based on the colour scheme and logo, without having to ever see the brand name.
Your website needs to not only look good, but it needs to be easily accessible for a visitor to use and locate any products they are looking for. There are a number of conventions that many eCommerce stores have taken up when deciding the layout of their website/products and you won't go too far wrong if you follow them. On the home page you should have a navigation bar either at the top or side of your website that contains the level one categories of your website. For example, if you provide a range of clothes for everyone, your top level categories could be mens, womens, children, etc. If you only supply women's clothes then your top level categories could be dresses, shoes, skirts, etc. When deciding on your top level categories you need to look at not only what products you sell, but who is your target demographic and what will they most likely be looking for when they land on your site.
These top level categories will then break down into second, third and even fourth level tiers, allowing customers to filter down your products until they reach a page that contain exactly the type of products they were originally looking for. For example, if they are looking for dresses, they would select the top level category dresses, then could select summer dresses and then finally formal dresses, allowing them to filter down the products until they have found the summer formal dresses they were looking for.
While this took three clicks for the customer to find the products they were looking for, it would be a much quicker process than if you were to have pages and pages of random products, requiring them to go through each until they locate the sort of products they are looking for.
Once a customer lands on your page, it is then up to you to draw them through to the pages you want them to go to through effective calls to action. The calls to action could be as simple as a "View" button on a product or as appealing as a banner advertisement promoting a product or offer your website is running, encouraging them to click on the banner and visit the appropriate page which contains this deal/products.
If you leave it up to the customers own devices without any encouragement on where to go, you will find that they tend to wander round aimlessly trying to find the a particular product they are looking for before giving up hope and leaving your website. Slight encouragement on your part will play a significant role in not only encouraging them to make a purchase, but having them visit different pages on your website to increase those pages' popularity and reducing your overall bounce rate.
While all businesses should have an array of images for their products, promotions and other engaging content on their website, the quality of those images make the world of difference as to whether they purchase from you or not. Similar to the overall look of your website, if a customer views the products and finds that the images are of a poor quality, not really giving them the added detail about the product that they wished for, it will not only put them off buying the product, but will reduce your overall professionalism in their eyes.
Every single image you use should be of the highest possible quality, whether it's the product images, any banners you have or just images you may have in articles or over informative landing pages. While these will cost more money in order to have them created by a professional photographer, these images will provide the customer with more information about the product, increasingly the chances of them actually making a purchase and resulting in you making a large income that brings about a positive return on the original expenditure.
Also, as you will be getting your products from suppliers, you will find that many of these suppliers can provide you with the professional images they have for each product you have on your store. While this will mean you have the same product images as some of your competitors, the positives they bring in terms of having professional images outweigh this drawback.
Social commerce is becoming a huge part of all businesses in not only bringing in online sales, but helping to promote your brand. Each of the pages you have on your website should all have social media integration buttons, allowing visitors to view your Facebook, Twitter and other social media pages. This success all comes in the ability to have these social media integration buttons linked to each of the products on your site. When a customer lands on your page, if they like the look of that particular product, they should then have the opportunity to share this product on their various social media pages.
This ability to share massively increases the exposure of not only that particular product, but also your brand as a whole due to the fact that all of their followers will have been exposed to the product they shared. This can result in extra traffic through to your website and increased sales on particular products. However, even if a customer doesn't visit your page or view a product, they have been exposed to your brand name and if they decide they wish to make a purchase in the future, your business will be one of the sites they consider.

I found an old bagged Airfix MRCA kit and was wondering what to do with it. Greg's idea of an RAAF F-111 replacement is what I was thinking, any other suggestions?
Maybe a RNZAF one? Say that as part if the RAAF deal New Zealand also managed to negotiate a joint buy to get a Sqn's worth. This would have the effect of reducing the unit price for both potentially.
However, what clothes would a shiny new RAAF Tonka wear?
Please tell me why the Tornado F.3's were scrapped? Is it just me or did they have a short service life? Thanks.
According to that the F.3 served with the RAF from 1986 to 2011.
Please tell me why the Tornado F.3's were scrapped? Is it just me or id they have a short service life? Thanks.
They were designed to counter a specific threat. Now that, that threat has receded, they were no longer needed and their role as an interceptor (not a fighter) could be just as easily covered by the Typhoon.
I think you will want either 1 or 6 SQN'S markings.
Lots of bombs, a couple of AIM-9s for protection. Which squadron was/is the more mudmover-ey one?
1Sqn...though for something different you could go with 6Sqn and arm it with ALARM as a dedicated SEAD unit.
What scale are you looking at?

Can evangelical Christianity be postmodern? In The Next Reformation, Carl Raschke describes the impact of postmodernism on evangelical thought and argues that the two ideologies are not mutually exclusive. Instead, Christians must learn to worship and minister within the framework of postmodernism or risk becoming irrelevant. In this significant and timely discussion, Raschke demonstrates how to reconcile postmodernism with Christian faith.
This book will appeal to readers interested in the relationship between postmodernism and Christian faith as well as church leaders and pastors wrestling with the practical implications of cultural changes for worship and ministry.

Cagayan Valley - The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) and Oxfam joined forces to assist victims of Typhoon Ompong in 3 Barangays in Rizal, Cagayan last October 3.
A lot of families from isolated and remote communities affected by Typhoon Ompong are still struggling for food and water. Many still have not been able to repair their damaged houses. Their livelihoods are gone and markets are limited.
To help address this gap, PHLPost and Oxfam recently distributed multipurpose cash grants to at least 608 families, who belong to Aeta and Malaweg ethnic minorities from Barangays Bural, Masi, and San Juan in Rizal town, Cagayan.
The multipurpose cash grant amounting to Php3, 000 will give each family the freedom to prioritize their immediate needs such as food, shelter repair, medicine and water.
"Masaya, self-fulfillment, at nakakataba ng puso na makita sa mga mata ng mga benepisyaryo ang saya na naihatid namin sa kanila ang kaunting tulong lalo na sa karamihan na galing pa sa malalayong lugar sa kabundukan" Postmaster Arsenio Mateo said.
The activity was led by PHLPost together with Citizens' Disaster Response Center and Cagayan Valley Disaster Response Center with support from Oxfam.
Oxfam is a charity founded in 1942- a global movement of millions of people who share the belief that, in a world rich in resources, poverty isn't inevitable.
The organization works on issues from food, water, health and education, women's rights, business and poverty, conflicts and disasters, aid and development, citizens' right, and even climate change. They do life-changing, groundbreaking work in all sorts of areas.

Ноннос (Нонн) (род. ок. 500 года - умер ок. 560 года) — святой настоятель монастыря святого Сильвестра. День памяти — 2 сентября.

Святой Ноннос, или Нонозий (Nonosius) был приором монастыря святого Сильвестра на горе севернее Рима и позднее монахом в Суппентониа около Чивита-Кастеллана. Он был современником святого Бенедикта Нурсийского.  Албан Батлер писал, что о святом Нонносе сохранилось столь мало информации, что сама по себе она интереса не представляет   Его имя не появляется в более ранних мартирологах.

Диакон Ноннос упоминается в преданиях Каринтии, Австрия, XII века .   Его почитание сильно в Баварии,, где в  почивают его мощи. Почитание святого на горе Монт Соррат восходит к 1650 годам, где оно установилось благодаря усилиям Андрея ди Бонавентура (Andrea di San Bonaventura), цистерцианского монаха. В 1661 году часть его мощей вернули на гору Монт Соррат, и почитание святого Нонноса распространилось в центральной  Италии. Имеется мнение, что предания, касающиеся двух персон, были объединены в одно житие.

Атрибутами святого Нонноса считают масляную лампу или висящую лампу, а также скалы.
