Q: Why am I getting the Tomcat error "HTTP Status 404 - The requested resource is not available."? Here is what is going on. Whenever I create a servlet on my laptop in NetBeans and deploy it locally, the servlet works perfectly. However, when I deploy the very same WAR file to my server (Apache Tomcat/6.0.36) over the network via the Manager app, I will always get this error. Whenever I attempt to access any .html or .jsp files included in the servlet, they work fine. However, whenever I attempt to access any of the servlets (the .class files), I always get this error. I am not using a web.xml, so I do not believe this can be the issue. I have hot deployed locally through NetBeans and also locally through the Manager app, and they both work. It only seems to be when I try to deploy this WAR through the Manager app to a different system.
Thanks for taking the time to read. Have a great day. :-)

A: You need Tomcat 7 with Servlet 3 support if you want to use annotations.

Natural shale samples, particularly well-preserved, drilled core samples, are extremely difficult to obtain for laboratory research. Multiple tests must be carried out on one sample, and some samples are disposed after destructive tests. Therefore, rarity and non-reusability of samples strongly restrict shale studies. In this study, based on statistical data from the world's major shale block, a new type of synthetic shale was physically constructed via a process of interfusion, stuffing, and compaction using quartz, clay, carbonate, and kerogen as the primary materials, according to statistical data from the world's major shale blocks. Further evaluation of the synthetic shale involved the use of scanning electron microscopy imagery and analysis of its anisotropic characteristics in comparison with natural shale. The synthetic shale had a laminated microstructure similar to natural shale, and its velocity anisotropy corresponded to Thomsen's anisotropy of a transversely isotropic medium. The results of tests for homogeneity and repeatability indicated that the construction process was stable and that several identical synthetic samples, which were satisfactorily similar to natural shale, could be produced for both iterative and destructive tests. The composition of each mineral, as well as the density, porosity, permeability, and anisotropy of the samples, were all variable. Therefore, a series of synthetic samples could be obtained with properties set to meet the requirements of petrophysical experimentation. Moreover, gas or oil saturation was also considered in the construction of the synthetic shale, meaning that the characteristics of gas or oil saturation (or the complete range of data from dry to saturated samples) could be tested using the synthetic shale.

2017 IDSA Election Results Take Effect
May 26 2017 - 9:24am
The latest term of IDSA's Board of Directors is in effect as of May 1, 2017. Megan Neese, IDSA, of Renaul-Nissan Alliance, is now the fourth woman in the 50+ year history of IDSA to hold the position of Board chair. She has served as chair-elect since May 1, 2016. See more in a new video featuring Neese about "What's Ahead" for the Society. John Barratt, IDSA, of TEAGUE, has served as chair since 2015. He is chair emeritus for the next year.
Three open positions have been filled for the 2017–19 term:
David Wynne, IDSA, joins the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee as secretary/treasurer, overseeing the Society's funds and records and ensuring that proper accounting procedures are followed. Wynne is VP finance and strategy at Boxed. Previously, he served as VP operational finance at American Apparel. Wynne earned an MBA from The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, a master's degree in product development from Carnegie Mellon University and a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering with minors in industrial design and business, also from CMU.
Rebecca Alvord, IDSA, becomes chapter director. She is a senior industrial designer at GE Appliances in Louisville, KY and the co-founder and former chair of the IDSA Kentucky Chapter.
Qin Li, IDSA, is continuing as an at-large director, with a special focus on the International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA). The industrial design director at fuseproject in San Francisco earned her BID from Guangzhou Academy of Fine Art in China and her MID from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
The other Board members are:
Sean Hägen, IDSA, of BlackHägen Design, Inc., section director
Paul Hatch, IDSA, of TEAMS Design, at-large director
Scott Shim, IDSA, of Notre Dame University, education director
Ayse Birsel, IDSA, of Birsel+Seck, Northeast District VP*
Christopher Brown, IDSA, Central District VP*
Laura Dye, IDSA, of Nike, Design Foundation President
IDSA Executive Director Daniel Martinage, CAE
Three, new District Chapter Representatives now make up the new Districts Committee, focusing on chapters in their respective Districts:
Chris Livaudais, IDSA, served as IDSA BOD South District VP from 2015–17; chair of the IDSA Atlanta Chapter from 2012 to 2015; and treasurer of the IDSA Atlanta Chapter from 2007 to 2011. Now, the associate director of experience and service design with InReality, is West District chapter representative.
John McCabe, IDSA, of Aether Learning and SHiFT Design Camp, was named IDSA's Young Educator of the Year in 2016. He is South District chapter representative.
Tony Schmidt, IDSA, is Midwest District chapter representative. Since 2013, the exhibit designer with PGAV Destinations has served in several positions with IDSA's St. Louis Chapter—education chair; chair and co-vice chair.
In addition, several key changes have been approved in the IDSA Bylaws. "The revisions reflect a significant shift in the Society's governance strategy—resulting in more fluidity and better alignment with nonprofit best practices," says Martinage. See how:
VPs are now directors (chapter VP to chapter director; section VP to section director; and education VP to education director; two current VPs will hold their titles until their terms end in 2018, then the title will be retired.*).
The responsibilities of District vice presidents (DVPs) are shifted from the BOD, to the new Districts Committee, with one focus on chapters. The positions have been renamed District Chapter Representatives.
The positions of Board advisors have been added, representing a wide range of disciplines other than industrial design.
The BOD term is being realigned according to the calendar year. New terms will be phased in to run from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31.
Ending their Board terms are George Daniels, L/IDSA, secretary/treasurer; Jason Belaire, IDSA, West District VP; and Marianne Grisdale, IDSA, Midwest District VP. "IDSA was fortunate to have their contributions at a particularly strategic time for the Society including far-reaching enhancements and improvements to our governance structure, and with outreach and advocacy efforts," says Martinage.

An Unexpected Moonlighting: Glycolytic Enzyme Aldolase B Acts as a Metabolic Switch for Metabolic Reprogramming in Hepatocellular Carcinogenesis
Huiyong YIN
Professor, Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai, China
Metabolic reprogramming is one of the most important hallmarks of cancer (Hanahan and Weinberg, 2011). Tumor cells undergo a series of metabolic reprogramming to meet the demands for rapid proliferation and growth. The Warburg Effect proposed by Otto Warburg in the 1920s points out that even under aerobic conditions, tumor cells prefer anaerobic glycolysis to produce energy and biosynthetic building blocks for cell proliferation (Warburg, 1956). Since then, tremendous research efforts have been made to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms of metabolic reprogramming and its clinical significance. Recent studies have unveiled a diverse mechanisms for cancer cells to achieve metabolic reprogramming, such as gene mutations, epigenetic alterations, protein-protein interactions, and the interaction between metabolic enzymes and metabolites (Bose et al., 2020; Hopkins et al., 2020; Wang et al., 2020; Zhu and Thompson, 2019).
Aldolases catalyze the cleavage of fructose-1,6-bis-phosphate (FBP) to generate dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) in glycolysis, as well as the reverse reaction of DHAP and GAP to FBP in gluconeogenesis. Recent years have witnessed increasing research interests on Aldolases in glucose metabolism in cancer and other human diseases (Chang et al., 2018). For example, Dr. Wulf's group at Harvard University found that PI3K regulates glycolysis though mobilization of aldolase from the actin cytoskeleton (Hu et al., 2016). A recent study from Dr. Sheng-Cai Lin's laboratory at Xiamen University, China, found that FBP's binding to aldolase mediates glucose sensing by AMPK independent of AMP levels (Zhang et al., 2017). Aldolase B (Aldob) is abundantly expressed in the liver, small intestine, and kidney. Aldob has been extensively studied in fructose metabolism and human mutations lead to hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) (Oppelt et al., 2015). A recent work from Dr. Xiling Shen's laboratory at Duke University discovered that hepatic Aldob-mediated fructose metabolism drives colon cancer metastasis to the liver (Bu et al., 2018). Although previous studies found that Aldob is down-regulated in liver cancer tissues and its expression is reversely correlated to clinical prognosis for liver cancer patients, the molecular mechanisms and clinical significance of Aldob downregulation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain elusive.
On July 6, 2020, our team published a research paper in Nature Cancer entitled "Aldolase B Suppresses Hepatocellular Carcinogenesis by Inhibiting G6PD and Pentose Phosphate Pathways" (https://www.nature.com/articles/s43018-020-0086-7). This study has discovered a novel mechanism by which Aldob regulates liver cancer metabolic reprogramming. In this study, we started out from gene expression microarray analysis of paired human HCC tissues and found that the expression of Aldob was significantly downregulated, whereas glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), the rate-limiting enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), was significantly upregulated in tumor tissues compared to peripheral normal tissue. Furthermore, a low expression of Aldob and high G6PD expression was positively associated with short overall survival and poor prognosis for HCC patients. A multivariate analysis demonstrated that Aldob is an independent risk factor for HCC. Using N-Nitrosodiethylamine (DEN)-induced HCC mouse model, they further found that global or liver specific knockout (KO) of Aldob promotes hepatocellular carcinogenesis through enhancing G6PD activity to increase the metabolic flux to PPP, while re-expression of Aldob in liver-specific Aldob KO mice suppresses HCC. Consistently, pharmacological inhibition or genetic knocking down G6PD attenuates the tumor formation. All these in vivo data suggest that Aldob opposes HCC through regulation of G6PD and PPP. They further demonstrated that in normal liver cells, Aldob interacts with G6PD to inhibit its activity, and the presence of Aldob enhances the inhibitory effect of tumor suppressor p53 on G6PD through a protein complex containing Aldob, G6PD and p53 to regulate cell metabolism. In cancer cells, however, Aldob downregulation releases G6PD activity and attenuates the inhibitory effect of p53 on G6PD, leading to the increased metabolism of PPP to meet the need for rapid growth of cancer cells.
In summary, our current study has defined a new molecular mechanism for cancer cell metabolic reprogramming: the interaction of metabolic enzymes Aldob and G6PD regulates cell metabolism in glycolysis and PPP, whereas the loss of Aldob in tumor cells leads to rewire metabolic pathways to favor tumor growth. The study found a new non-enzymatic function of Aldob, highlighting a clinical significance in diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer. However, it remains to be investigated what the upstream factors are in regulating the Aldob expression and how Aldob is gradually lost during the progression of HCC.

leads in the motherland of cycling culture from the Belgian border at Sluis along the coast of the North Sea to Den Haag (167 Kilometer) and with further 284 kilometers eastward to the German border in Zwilbroek.
The path through the dune scenery of the North Sea coast, over the storm barriers and dams of the Delta works, as well as two ferry transfers and the passage through the new port of Rotterdam are a unique experience. East of Den Haag the cyclist finds a wide variety of landscapes: the typical Dutch canal landscape to Utrecht, the hilly, densely wooded national park Veluwezoom at Arnheim, the passage along the Nederrijn as well as the park landscape of Achterhoek.
The road is interesting and diverse. In addition to cities and bigger towns like Vlissingen, Den Haag, Utrecht and Arnheim, you find smaller historical places, for example Scheveningen, Worden, the national park Veluwezoom as well as the park landscape with mansions close to the German border, that entertain and surprise and make the Euroroute R1 in the Netherlands a memorable and exciting experience.
The Euroroute R1 consists of sections of the "Noordzeeroute LF1" - its route was corrected recently yet again, of "Midden-Nederlandroute LF4" as well as of a part of "LF8" close to the German border. All those roads are excellently signposted — the quality of the mostly separated cycle paths and streets with little traffic, with a small number of exceptions, are good to very good.

Sentencing and Supervision of Sex Offenders
Response to the Home Office Consultation Paper
Mr. K. Hopley,
Action Against Crime Unit,
50 Queen Anne's Gate,
London. SW1H 9AT
Dear Mr. Hopley,
Consultation Paper: Sentencing and Supervision of Sex Offenders
In our view the Home Office is right to take action to protect children from sexual abuse. However, the new proposals set out in Sentencing and Supervision of Sex Offenders mistakenly lump together consensual and coercive sexual offences, and those between adults and those involving children.
We believe the proposals should be restricted solely to people convicted of sexually abusing children, and should not penalise persons convicted of consensual sex with other adults or other young people of a similar age.
In accordance with the Indecency With Children Act 1960, we propose that the definition of a child should be a young person under the age of 14.
The requirement to register with the police, and other penalties outlined in Sentencing and Supervision of Sex Offenders, should exclude those convicted of consensual sex offences involving persons aged 14 or over, and those convicted of similarly victimless offences where both partners are under 14 and of roughly comparable ages.
We furthermore believe that those convicted of consensual offences involving one person over 14 and the other under 14 should also be excluded from these proposals, providing there were no more than three years difference in their ages (as in the case of mutually agreed sex between a 13 year old and a 15 year old).
Some young people under 14 knowingly and willingly sexually experiment with each other. They are not a threat to children and should not therefore be subject to the provisions set out in Sentencing and Supervision of Sex Offenders.
We particularly want the largely gay and consensual offences of buggery, indecency, soliciting and homosexual acts on merchant ships deleted from the index of offences in Annex A. Accordingly, we propose the removal of:
(1956 Sexual Offences Act)
* Section 12 – Buggery (or attempt to commit buggery)
* Section 13 – Indecency between men
* Section 32 – Solicitation by a man
Section 2 – Homosexual acts on merchant ships.
There are plenty of other laws (apart from the four mentioned above) which can be used to protect young people against abusive, coercive and violent sexual exploitation, such as the Indecency With Children Act 1960, and the laws against rape, incest and indecent assault (under the Sexual Offences Act 1956).
There is no need, or justification, to punish the thousands of gay and bisexual men who have convictions for consensual sex with other adult males.
Our research, based on Home Office and police statistics, suggests that there were nearly 20,000 convictions for homosexual acts between consenting adults during the period 1980-89 (mostly for victimless cruising and cottaging).
In 1994 alone, about 500 gay and bisexual men were found guilty of offences which caused no harm and had no victims. All these men will now be required to notify the police of changes of address, as will many thousands more if these proposals are made indefinitely retrospective to cover anyone who has ever had a conviction for a sexual offence (a proposition we urge the Home Office to reject).
Under the Home Office proposals, the Bishop of Durham, Michael Turnbull, who was convicted of gross indecency with another man in a public toilet in 1968, would be required to inform the police of any change of address and alert them if he went away on a holiday or religious retreat lasting longer than four weeks. The idea that men like the Bishop are a threat to children is absurd.
It is a gross mistake to classify men involved in consenting sex with other adult males alongside child sex abusers, rapists and other harmful sex offenders. Most importantly, it will not help to protect children from unwanted sexual advances and molestation.

Q: Best place to store background images My WP8 app support changing theme, just a background image. User could choose the prepared backgournd image or choose from their device, I prepared 10 images for users. Should I place images in a theme folder in the same project of my app or place them in a class libarary as embeded resources? Which place is better?

A: Embedded resource is preferable since OS is more optimized to read those rather than standalone files. But the difference in speed may be negligible, so I suggest you to try and see if it makes any difference to you, especially on a low end device like Nokia Lumia 520.


Teamwork is a funny thing – the saying goes that you are only as strong as your weakest link. When it comes to project management, this saying is especially true; especially when it comes to working with a team of individuals who all rely on each other to make a project work.
Creating a synergy between employees from different backgrounds, with different interests and different experiences can be extremely tricky. The good news for project managers is that most team members can be driven toward a common purpose; and finding that common purpose will often determine the success of the overall project.
When it comes to working together as a team, working towards a common purpose or goal is critical in maintaining morale and quality. For project managers, this goal is typically obvious – complete the project on time, on budget, and within scope. To do that successfully, there are a few things to consider.
Are the right team members in the right positions?
Maximizing strengths is a key part of getting people to work as a team. Think, for instance, of a soccer team. If a center forward is playing as a defender because your side is full of injuries, your results on the filed will probably reflect this. The same goes when assigning project roles- sure, a web developer might understand databases, application layers, and front-end coding; but understanding where they will be most effective and happy will ensure higher project performance. When people are in a role where they function well and which they are good at – you will achieve better results.
Recognizing strengths is crucial for all project managers – if you have adequate subject matter expertise in your field, you'll pick up on who belongs where. If you're not, you would be best suited in having assistance as you delegate roles.
Are you positively reinforcing your team members?
People want to feel good about what they are doing, and they want to know that those who monitor their work are encouraged by their performance. As a project manager, if you're only ever highlighting performance issues, you will end up fostering a negative team environment. It is crucially important to praise team members when they get things right.
There is a great saying which goes: "praise in public, scold in private". As a project manager, you should master these words and also learn to master your temper. You might be infuriated and want to act instinctively when team members make obvious mistakes. But when you learn to step back, act diplomatically, and take control calmly, you will often get the best long term performance results.
Are you setting achievable team goals?
As mentioned earlier, setting achievable team goals is crucial to a project's success. Make sure that you allow every member of your team to be part of the process. Even if you, as the project manager, set the schedule and timeline of activities; you can include team members by individually asking each if they agree with your scope estimates. In addition, sharing the long term project goals and mapping them out so everybody knows exactly what is expected of them down the road shows that team members are treated maturely during the life-cycle of a project. Further, make sure you track those team goals in a repeatable, consistent manner. This includes recurring status meetings, frequent status checks, and individually meeting with team members if you feel like they are falling behind.

Reader question: "There are lots of HUD homes for sale in my area. I would like to include them in my house hunting, because I've heard you can get a good deal on these properties. The trouble is I'm a first-time buyer, so I'm not familiar with the offer / bidding process for HUD foreclosure homes. How much should I bid when making my offer? Is there a specific formula, or should I just use comparable sales?"
I recommend that you work with a real estate agent who is familiar with the bidding process for HUD homes. It's different from buying a "regular" home, where you're dealing with a homeowner. In fact, the Department of Housing and Urban Development requires that you submit your bid through a licensed agent or broker who is registered to make offers on HUD homes.
Your agent will do a lot of the work for you. But that doesn't mean you can coast along on autopilot. You need to be actively engaged in the process. You need to know how to make an offer on a HUD foreclosed home. We'll get to the bidding / offer process in a moment. But first, I want to cover some of the basics.
Definition: A HUD home is residential property that has been repossessed by the Department of Housing an Urban Development through the foreclosure process.
So now the government owns this foreclosure home. Their goal is to sell it as quickly as possible. If they can make a profit, great. But they're most concerned with recovering their losses resulting from the foreclosure process. The "loss" in this case is the money HUD had to pay to the lender who made the FHA loan in the first place. Remember, the government insures these loans against losses resulting from borrower default.
HUD wants to sell the property as quickly as possible. So they use a local real estate agent to list it for sale in the MLS (in some cases). They also list the home on their property website at www.hudhomestore.com.
In many cases, these houses are priced below their current market value. Why? Refer back to HUD's primary goals. They want to (A) sell the home fast and (B) recoup their losses from the FHA insurance claim. They're not trying to turn a profit, per se. This is why there's often a potential for savings when buying a HUD foreclosure home.
This is where you come in, as a buyer. You can make an offer on a HUD home through a licensed real estate agent or broker. Depending on the market you're in, there may or may not be multiple buyers bidding on the foreclosure home. There's a chance that yours will be the only offer. There's also a chance you'll be bidding against several other would-be buyers. It depends on your market and the desirability (pricing) of the home in question.
Believe it or not, most real estate agents aren't very familiar with HUD foreclosure homes. They know what they are, of course. But they don't necessarily know how much to offer for such a property, or how the bidding process works. That's why I recommend working with an agent who has done this in the past. It will prevent a lot of headaches.
You need to use an agent when buying a HUD foreclosure home. I touched on this earlier. You need to use a licensed real estate agent, at a minimum. But you should go above and beyond this by finding an agent who has experience making offers on HUD homes (on behalf of clients).
You are not obligated to offer the list price. You can offer below the asking price, if you feel you are justified in doing so. I mentioned earlier that these foreclosure homes are often priced below market value. Often ... but not always. They are usually appraised by a professional home appraiser, before being listed on the HUD site. You need to evaluate the price just like you would with any home purchase. Use comparable sales for this purpose.
You need to consider how long the listing has been on the market. You can generally get a better deal on HUD homes that have been on the market for a while, when compared to a new listing.
Rule of thumb: For a new listing, you should offer an amount closer to the list price. Making a low-ball offer on a new listing will probably just be a waste of time. What's worse, you could lose the property to a higher bidder.
If the home has been listed for three months or more, you will have more bargaining power. The low-ball offer is a safer strategy in this scenario.
If the listing is new on the market, HUD will generally accept 85 - 88 percent of the list price as net proceeds to HUD. This means if you offer an amount that allows them to net more than 85 percent of the listing price, there's a good chance they'll accept your offer. See the 88 percent strategy below.
Generally speaking, HUD is willing to contribute up to 5 percent of the purchase price to the buyer's closing costs. If you are requesting that they make such a contribution, you must include this amount with your initial bid / offer on the home. They will only help you with certain fees (not all of them), so ask your HUD-savvy real estate agent about this before bidding on the property.
If your real estate agent is registered to make bids on HUD foreclosure homes, he or she can use the electronic bidding system. This system has made the bidding process a lot more efficient than it used to be. It's another good reason to use an agent who has experience in this area.
If your bid gives HUD the highest price for the home (after any closing costs and commissions they must pay), then your bid will be acknowledged. Your agent will then have 48 hours to follow up with a complete contract. These documents would be sent to the nearest regional office.
It's imperative that you submit the signed sales contract package in a timely fashion. Having your bid "acknowledged" electronically does not mean the home is yours. They need to receive the contract package in order to accept the offer. If you fail to send these documents, the home could be placed back on the market for other buyers to bid on.

In a recent interview on Dutch TV, former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton attacked First Daughter Ivanka Trump said the United States doesn't want "any more inexperienced Trumps" in the White House.
The former Secretary of State was asked to weigh-in on Ivanka Trump's possible future ambitions, referring to baseless allegations that Ivanka Trump wants to follow in her father's footsteps that surfaced in Michael Wolff's book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, published at the beginning of this year.
Hillary said that Ivanka Trump will not be the "first female President" of the United States.
"Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. The American people are seeing for themselves what happens when a reality TV candidate wins. Clinton said.
Please keep Hillary talking… The best hope for the Republicans this fall is for Hillary to go on a tour of the Midwest.
And when she's wrong, she's wrong. If inexperience equates to honesty then I am for it. The experienced people show they are in it for themselves. People don't want any more EXPERIENCED CLINTON'S in the White House that is for sure.
However, having a Trump in the White House always beats having a Clinton in there.


When it comes to electronics purchases, it seems that technology moves right with the learning curve and has been proved again. Here the younger teens are a step ahead their older counterpart.
They are so fascinated about the tech gadgets that at times they are the major influencer (high value electronic purchases). Now I'm going to tell you a balled over fact that might be hard to believe for boys, girls spend more money on entertainment than the guys (as per a reliable research report).
The sand of times ruling over the facts and figures, a sign of changing times and gesture of the different needs prevalent in today's society. Girl's working very hard to top the health and beauty category by spending good times with cosmetics, friends and movies.
Let the cat out of the bag. Boys have their own story in terms of where they drop their dollars. These days branded clothing companies are in a state of dilemma. Because boys usually preferring branded items to differentiate themselves from their counterpart, while there is no such parameter to scale the girls choice as they have so many choices, where branded clothing wouldn't be their preliminary preference.
When it comes to cell phone/mobile bills again girls talking more than the boys, but this time cupid arrow touches the guy's heart, the boys spend far more than girls. When it comes to eating habits there is no question and answers that left unknown.
Finally, I'm going to shut down my brand buzz world with one more revealed secret that is "spending on "designer bags, stylish shoes and jewellery". Emerging companies are churning out dollars by keeping this in purview. There is no boundary girls don't want to cross when it comes to spend dollars on these things. Sweet hearts are looking for style and convenience. Market researchers are making a note of this well known shibboleth.
Well said, if you're having a tough day then picks up your credit card from the wallet bag and ramp towards a shopping mall. Because girls it's your day and guys we do not need to worry about them at the moment.
Saga World Dubai Mall is the complete shopping destination which attracts plenty of shoppers who go by high end shopping in Dubai.This Mall in Dubai is ultimate when it comes to shop luxury jewels, jewelery, Islamic arts. souvenirs, carpets and gifts etc.
Can you share us that report you're talking about? Hey, it's not that I don't believe you, okay? I'm just a bit curious about it. Well, it's not really shocking that the girls would lead in terms of purchasing those new gadgets. I mean, those iPhones and stuff are really amazing.

The LEGO Movie — 7/10
THE LEGO MOVIE (2014, Phil Lord & Christopher Miller)
The layers of meta are incredibly deep with this one. The ultimate message of the film, delivered in a disappointingly treacly third act, is that it's amazing to take something someone else made, and do something new with it. It's like everything already exists, and the only type of art left is to get creative with existing properties. What Lord & Miller are doing with their LEGO MOVIE, then, (and as they kind of did with the somewhat-pretty-funny 21 JUMP STREET) is to take an existing thing and be creative — make it their own using a strong imagination and deft execution skills.
The results are mostly a riot — a steady stream of laugh-out-loud lines, a lot of which are self-deprecating, satirical, or winking at what's going on. And at times it's just silly fun, like when Will Ferrell calls nail polish remover "The po-LEESH remover of na-EEL!" (and he calls an Exact-O knife "The Sword of Exact ZERO!"). And when the actors are allowed to riff amusingly without servicing the heavy plot, it's at its best. Chris Pratt is terrific in a rare lead role, letting his talent for being a naive, innocent everyman become a big asset; Elizabeth Banks finds subtle ways to deliver her exposition with humor; and Will Arnett almost steals the show as a tempestuous, selfish, juvenile jerk of a Batman.
Unfortunately, the third act does get a little moist, and part of the problem with it is Ferrell's acting — when he's asked to do something serious, his earnest expressions fail him. Plus, the movie distressingly contains yet another Magical Negro without ever putting a twist on the cliche (which is odd, because it twists so many other conventions) and while Morgan Freeman's performance is amusing (and has the film's single biggest laugh for me, though the joke is repeated later on to dampen the effect), the character is still a lame trope. And this may come across as a bit of an overly sensitive complaint, but the story struck me as being kind of sexist — there's literally no reason the hyper-competent Banks couldn't have done everything Pratt does. Why can't she be the hero, rather than just being a sidekick to either Arnett or Pratt? The other instance of sexism I won't reveal because it's the final scene in the movie, but together it just kind of stuck out to me. Probably not a big deal but on the heels of the Magical Negro I couldn't help but start to notice a trend.

The Chlamydomonas Spatial Interactome (CSI) collection was generated by Luke Mackinder/Martin Jonikas. The collection contains strains expressing a single Venus YFP tagged protein (CSI_FC prefix) or two different tagged proteins: Venus YFP and mCherry (CSI_DT prefix).
Target genes, primarily implicated in the Chlamydomonas CCM, were cloned into the pLM005 (Venus) or pLM006 (mCherry) vectors and transformed into strain cMJ030 (CC-4533). Lines were then selected for positive fluorescence. Further details are available in the below publications and at https://sites.google.com/site/chlamyspatialinteractome/ .

Wish-List 5: Early American Literature
American History and Literature is of great importance to me. Right now I'm in the middle of studying extensively the War Between the States but often times in my research I need to go back further than that. Doing so gives me a greater understanding of the creation of our great nation, how our government works, how they evolved and what was in the minds of our early settlers and founders. In today's society, there are so many Americans who do not know their history and do not know what it means to be an American. For many reasons- I won't go into today-but I will say much of the blame goes to the public school system and our government. We have become a nation of political correctness and we are erasing our history. In my opinion that shows weakness and cowardliness on our part and should be stopped. On Facebook I shared a quote that says, "A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday, does not know where it is today." The rest of the quote-by Woodrow Wilson-say's, "…nor what it is trying to do. We are trying to do a futile thing if we do not know where we came from or what we have been about."
Today's wish-list is one I am actually putting at the top of my reading pile soon. Some of these works I am familiar with and have read a bit of. Alas, it has been years and I would like to refresh my mind with these readings.

The Works of Anne Bradstreet (John Harvard Library) by Anne Bradstreet
Anne Bradstreet, the first true poet in the American colonies, wrote at a time and in a place where any literary creation was rare and difficult and that of a woman more unusual still. Born in England and brought up in the household of the Earl of Lincoln where her father, Thomas Dudley, was steward, Anne Bradstreet sailed to Massachusetts Bay in 1630, shortly after her marriage at sixteen to Simon Bradstreet. For the next forty years she lived in the New England wilderness, raising a family of eight, combating sickness and hardship, and writing the verse that made her, as the poet Adrienne Rich says in her Foreword to this edition, "the first non-didactic American poet, the first to give an embodiment to American nature, the first in whom personal intention appears to precede Puritan dogma as an impulse to verse."
All Anne Bradstreet's extant poetry and prose is published here with modernized spelling and punctuation. This volume reproduces the second edition of "Several Poems," brought out in Boston in 1678, as well as the contents of a manuscript first printed in 1857. Adrienne Rich's Foreword offers a sensitive and illuminating critique of Anne Bradstreet both as a person and as a writer, and the Introduction, scholarly notes, and appendices by Jeannine Hensley make this an authoritative edition.
Adrienne Rich observes, "Intellectual intensity among women gave cause for uneasiness" at this period–a fact borne out by the lines in the Prologue to the early poems: "I am obnoxious to each carping tongue/ Who says my hand a needle better fits." The broad scope of Anne Bradstreet's own learning and reading is most evident in the literary and historical allusions of "The Tenth Muse," the first edition of her poems, published in London in 1650. Her later verse and her prose meditations strike a more personal note, however, and reveal both a passionate religious sense and a depth of feeling for her husband, her children, the fears and disappointments she constantly faced, and the consoling power of nature. Imbued with a Puritan striving to turn all events to the glory of God, these writings bear the mark of a woman of strong spirit, charm, delicacy, and wit: in their intimate and meditative quality Anne Bradstreet is established as a poet of sensibility and permanent stature.
American Colonial Writing (Essays) by Mary Rowlandson, William Bradford, John Smith, Anne Bradstreet, Thomas Morton, Elena Ortells
This anthology features a selection of works written during the first century of English settlement in the colonies of North America. These texts illustrate the extraordinary depth of colonial writing (chronicles, poetry, captivity narratives, etc.) and help us understand the origins and the future of America and Americans.
The Collected Writings of Samson Occom, Mohegan: Leadership and Literature in Eighteenth-Century Native America by Samson Occom
The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano: Written by Himself by Olaudah Equiano, Robert J. Allison (Editor)
Widely admired for its vivid accounts of the slave trade, Olaudah Equiano's autobiography — the first slave narrative to attract a significant readership — reveals many aspects of the eighteenth-century Western world through the experiences of one individual. The second edition reproduces the original London printing, supervised by Equiano in 1789. Robert J. Allison's introduction, which places Equiano's narrative in the context of the Atlantic slave trade, has been revised and updated to reflect the heated controversy surrounding Equiano's birthplace, as well as the latest scholarship on Atlantic history and the history of slavery. Improved pedagogical features include contemporary illustrations with expanded captions and a map showing Equiano's travels in greater detail. Helpful footnotes provide guidance throughout the eighteenth-century text, and a chronology and an up-to-date bibliography aid students in their study of this thought-provoking narrative.
Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson by Mary Rowlandson
In February 1676, during King Philip's War, the frontier village of Lancaster, Massachusetts, was attacked by a party of Nipmuck Indians and completely destroyed. As relief from Concord approached, the attackers withdrew, taking with them 24 captives, including Mrs. Mary Rowlandson and her three children.
For almost three months the little family was forced to live with their captors and endure exposure to a New England winter.The youngest child, who had been injured during the attack, failed to survive. Eventually ransom was paid and the family released.
Mrs. Rowlandson's account of her experience was published in 1682. It became a"best-seller" of its day and created a new literary genre, the captivity narrative. Such accounts were in part responsible for the mistrust and hatred of the Indians that plagued the country for centuries. It is also the first publication in English by a woman in the New World.
The Puritan Dilemma: The Story of John Winthrop (Library of American Biography) by Edmund S. Morgan
Caught between the ideals of God s Law and the practical needs of the people, John Winthrop walked a line few could tread. In every aspect of our society today we see the workings of the tension between individual freedom and the demands of authority. Here is the story of the people that brought this idea to our shores: The Puritans. Edmund Morgan relates the hardships and triumphs of the Puritan movement through this vivid account of its most influential leader, John Winthrop. The titles in the Library of American Biography Series make ideal supplements for American History Survey courses or other courses in American history where figures in history are explored. Paperback, brief, and inexpensive, each interpretive biography in this series focuses on a figure whose actions and ideas significantly influenced the course of American history and national life. In addition, each biography relates the life of its subject to the broader themes and developments of the times."

HomeEquity Bank Rallies Canadians with Virtual Call to Arms to Support the Digital Poppy
The Digital Poppy, part of the Royal Canadian Legion's National Poppy Campaign, is more important than ever as the pandemic takes its toll
Pause to Remember campaign enables veterans to band together and stand shoulder-to-shoulder and share their stories of heroism on the virtual battle field with other players
One of Canada's oldest veteran influencers returns to support the Digital Poppy initiative
TORONTO, Oct. 29, 2020 – As the proud Presenting Partner of the 2020 Royal Canadian Legion's Digital Poppy initiative in support of the National Poppy Campaign, HomeEquity Bank, provider of the CHIP Reverse Mortgage, is honoured to support Canada's brave men and women who served their country in the Canadian Armed Forces. As we face one of our greatest challenges in peacetime — the COVID-19 pandemic — it's more important than ever to ensure that our veterans' stories of courage and selflessness are passed on to future generations.
With millions of Canadians practising physical distancing, downloading and sharing the Digital Poppy is a safe and thoughtful way to support veterans and their families. From the last Friday in October to Remembrance Day on Nov. 11, Canadians can visit www.MyPoppy.ca and download their Digital Poppy to complement the traditional lapel poppy that's synonymous with honouring the service and sacrifice of our veterans.
"Whether it's war or a global pandemic, Canadians have a long history of heeding the call to help each other in times of difficulty," said Steven Ranson, HomeEquity Bank's President and CEO. "That's why we're calling on Canadians to support and thank those who served our country with valour. It's the right thing to do."
A number of high-profile Canadian celebrities, including HomeEquity Bank spokesperson Kurt Browning along with Justin Bieber, Margaret Atwood, Sandra Oh, Ashley Callingbull and Kevin Bieska, will serve as campaign ambassadors to champion the Digital Poppy on social media. Canadians are encouraged to join the conversation by tagging their posts with: #DigitalPoppy, #GetYourPoppy #LestWeForget, #WeWillRememberThem, #TwoMinutesSilence, #TeamLegion, #HEBRemembers and #RemembranceDay. All funds raised through MyPoppy.ca are directed to the Legion Foundation Fund, which provides a variety of services to veterans and their families at no cost across the country.
"It's no secret this has been a challenging time for the Royal Canadian Legion, and we are at a pivotal moment in our history," says Legion Dominion President Thomas D. Irvine, CD. "With the steadfast support from companies like HomeEquity Bank, and the generosity millions of Canadians show us each year, I'm confident we will get through this together."
Standing shoulder-to-shoulder on the virtual battlefield with #TeamLegion
For the second consecutive year, HomeEquity Bank and the Legion are partnering with popular video game streamers on the Twitch streaming platform for a virtual moment of silence. The Pause to Remember campaign seeks to reach younger generations who may only be connected to our military history through video games.
This year, four Second World War veterans will team up on Twitch under the group banner #TeamLegion. Members include 100-year-old Captain Jack Rhind, 95-year-old Albert "Bert" Card, 94-year-old Ronald Moys and last but not least 95-year-old Jack Boeki.
Because many veterans will be unable to attend Remembrance Day ceremonies in person, #TeamLegion will stand together on the virtual battlefield surrounded by players who will hear their stories of heroism and honour their service.
One of Canada's oldest veteran influencers returns to support the Digital Poppy
Canadians will once again see Private (Ret'd) Ardwell "Art" Eyres in a national TV ad starting Nov. 1. He'll dedicate his Digital Poppy to his friend and mentor, Sgt. Maj. John Copeland, with whom he served during the Second World War.
HomeEquity Bank would like to acknowledge its valued partners at Zulu Alpha Kilo, OMD Canada and Provident Communications for donating their time and efforts to making the second annual Digital Poppy campaign truly memorable.

The company was founded more than 30 years ago as an annuity-based solution addressing the financial needs of Canadians who wanted to access the equity of their top asset – their home.

Shots are a terrific way to bond with friends. There is no stopping after the first drink has been consumed! Have a great day and shoot a lot of photographs! In addition, when you realize that the trip is almost done, grab a canned beverage as your final treat so that you may carry it with you off the ferris wheel!

Bathrooms and running water are not available in any of the High Roller's cabins, so make sure you have enough of moist towelettes on hand.

How many people fit in the High Roller cabin?
The High Roller, which has been in operation since March 2014, consists of 32 passenger cabins, or pods, with a capacity of 40 passengers per pod. Taking a 30-minute helicopter flight above the dazzling lights of downtown Las Vegas is a cost-effective and pleasant way for the entire family to take in the breathtaking sights of the magnificent Las Vegas Strip.
Is the High Roller better day or night?
The High Roller is the world's highest observation wheel, and it offers spectacular views of the Las Vegas Strip and surrounding area. It takes around 30 minutes to complete a full'revolution,' enabling you to take your time and enjoy the experience. It's preferable, in my opinion, to go at night to see the lovely lights of the Strip.

Artist info: Diary of Dreams
Diary of Dreams started in 1989 as the project of Adrian Hates, who took the name from a little composition for classic guitar called "Tagebuch der Träume". Hailing from the West German city of Düsseldorf, Adrian's musical education had been exclusively classical, and when he first heard electronic music on the radio, he was transfixed. Therefore, his own musical development was very distinctively influenced by the combination of the electronic sounds of the 1980s and his own classical background, culminating in the desire to merge both worlds in his very own, personal way.
He started to play classical guitar at the age of nine, and a few years later, his first electric guitar opened a wealth of new possibilities for him. Music became a substitute world. At the age of 15, he decided he also wanted to try his hand on the piano and took lessons, and only a little later, his sound spectrum was expanded by drum machines, keyboards and the first Atari computer. He worked on his own, not by choice but simply because it proved nearly impossible to find musicians sharing his own musical vision. In the end, necessity became a virtue: From the early days, this mode of operation determined the unique and extraordinary character of Diary of Dreams.
In 1994, after a number of demo recordings that all failed to satisfy Adrian's high musical standards, Diary of Dreams released their debut album Cholymelan. It received enthusiastic press reviews and conquered the hearts of many music lovers with a penchant for darker sounds.
Soon afterwards, Hates decided to launch his own label, Accession Records; the workaholic felt a deep mistrust towards the music industry, and the urge to control every little detail seemed vital to him at the time.
Two years later, Diary of Dreams' second album, End Of Flowers, was released indeed on Accession – just as every other Diary album until the present day. By now, Diary of Dreams look back on 26 different releases, among them a DVD, a few singles, two EPs, a critically acclaimed acoustic album and 12 regular studio albums such as the seminal Nigredo with the legendary photo shooting on Iceland, or the enormously successful latest release, hell in Eden.
Held in high regard by his fans also for his lyrics, Hates is well-known for his metaphorical language and the expressive and ambiguous descriptions of the matters on his mind. He writes mostly in English, but sometimes also in German – the language of choice, he says, tends to be determined by the song itself.
While Diary of Dreams' line-up has undergone a number of changes, mastermind and singer Adrian Hates has come ever closer and closer to his vision for the project, and thus, to his dreams.
Since the first note rang out of the Diary, the band has been playing about 500 concerts in almost 40 countries, with no end in sight. According to Adrian, it will be the last thing he ever does in his life.
A life with and for music.

American Plane maker Boeing has made scheduled delivery of the first of 10 C-17 Globemaster III airlifters to the Indian Air Force (IAF). Boeing is expected to deliver four more C-17s to the IAF this year and five in 2014. India inked a pact with the U.S. in June 2011, to buy 10 C-17 airlifters, making India the largest C-17 customer outside the U.S.
A high-wing, 4-engine, T-tailed military-transport aircraft, the multi-service C-17 can carry large equipment, supplies and troops directly to small airfields in harsh terrain anywhere in the world day or night. The massive, sturdy, long-haul aircraft tackles distance, destination and heavy, oversized payloads in unpredictable conditions.
It can land in remote airfields in rough, land-locked regions to serve for military, humanitarian and peacekeeping missions. It can take off from a 7,600-ft. airfield, carry a payload of 160,000 pounds, fly 2,400 nautical miles, and refuel while in flight and land in 3,000 ft. or less on a small unpaved or paved airfield in day or night.


"Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Thursday threatened to nationalize the country's banks and largest steel producer, accusing them of unscrupulous practices.
'Private banks have to give priority to financing the industrial sectors of Venezuela at low cost,' Chavez said. 'If banks don't agree with this, it's better that they go, that they turn over the banks to me, that we nationalize them and get all the banks to work for the development of the country and not to speculate and produce huge profits.'

Loudoun County currently has Video Franchise Agreements (VFA) with Comcast and Verizon FiOS to provide Cable TV video service to Loudoun County.
Both franchise agreements have a variety of clauses that indicate where/when a franchisee must provide video service to a portion of the county, the most basic of which is a residential density requirement of a minimum of 20 homes per mile passed.
This calculation is based upon strand mileage required to provide service to an area from the nearest technically feasible connection point, and not road miles.
If you believe your location meets this requirement, please submit a request for the Communications Commission to evaluate your area by submitting an online service request form through the Loudoun Express Request (LEx) system. The Communications Commission will coordinate your request with the franchisees to determine the nearest technically feasible connection point, length of the cable run needed to service the area, and the resultant density per mile calculation.
Community Request for Cable Service Form (PDF) Opens a New Window.
Community Request for Cable Service Form (DOC) Opens a New Window.
The requests for service require a calculation of the number of residences committing to service along a coaxial cable or fiber run from the nearest technically feasible connection location within the franchisees video Cable TV network. This connection point will be determined after your submission request is received, and an evaluation analysis of the area is completed by the franchisees' Engineering and Construction Departments.
In making these avenue of inquiries available, neither the Loudoun County Communications Commission nor any department within the Loudoun County government is committing to providing Cable TV services to the requesting neighborhoods.
Also, please note that the oversight of the franchise agreement is strictly limited to Cable TV video operations. The agreement does not have any provisions, or provide oversight power, to require the provision of Broadband Internet availability to any location within Loudoun County.


승탑은 승려의 무덤을 상징하여 그 유골이나 사리를 모셔두는 곳이다. 이 승탑은 선암사 중심에서 북쪽으로 약 400m 지나 한적한 산중턱의 선조암이라는 암자에 세워져 있다. 3개의 받침돌로 이루어진 기단(基壇) 위로 탑신(塔身)을 올려 놓았으며, 각 부분이 8각으로 이루어져 있다.
기단은 아래받침돌에 사자상과 구름무늬를 조각했고, 가운데받침돌에는 안상(眼象)을 얕게 새겼으며, 윗받침돌에는 8장의 연꽃잎을 큼직하게 새겨 놓았다. 탑신의 몸돌은 모서리에 기둥 모양의 조각이 있고, 앞뒷면에 자물쇠가 달린 문짝 모양을 새겨두었으며, 앞면 양 옆으로 인왕상(仁王像)을 배치했다. 투박해 보이는 지붕돌은 여덟 곳의 귀퉁이마다 큼직한 꽃장식이 솟아 있다. 꼭대기에는 머리장식으로 보륜과 보주(寶珠:연꽃봉오리모양의 장식)가 남아 있다.
이 승탑은 사자상, 구름모양, 연꽃, 인왕상 등을 새긴 조각 양식과 수법으로 보아 고려 전기의 작품으로 추정된다.
Stupa symbolizes the grave of monks and enshrines bone cremains or sarira. Located at Seonjoam Hermitage on a quiet mountainside 400 m north from the center of Seonamsa Temple, this stupa is built on the stylobate consisting of three supporting stones made in an octagonal shape. The bottom base of the stylobate has carvings of lion image and cloud design; the middle one has symbolic images of the elephant's eyes, whereas the top one has 8 carved sides of lotus design. The body stone has corner pillars on every side, with its front and rear sides having carvings of door and lock design and the front side having Inwang (guardian spirit) image on each of the right and left sides. The heavy roof stone has carvings of large flower decoration that stretches upward at every corner. Carvings of wheel and finial with lotus bud shape remain as the head ornament at the top. This stupa seems to have been made during the early Goryeo Dynasty, judging from the technique and carving style of lion image, cloud design, lotus shape, and Inwang image.

ROZA district reservoir ready to help farmers in times of low water supply
KIMA TV – GUSTAVO OLGUIN – SUNNYSIDE, Wash.- Governor Jay Inslee was at the just finished ROZA Wasteway Reservoir today to recognize years of planning finally coming to fruition. "The world needs the best apples and the best hops in the world and the best wine in the world. That's Washington and it's got to have water to do that," he said.
Inslee said this water is crucial to everything Washington produces and he's been trying to do something like this since he was in congress.
While the event today was more of a ceremonial ribbon cutting, Ric Valicoff with the ROZA Board said the reservoir gives farmers in the lower valley another life line when water supply is low.
"We have supply here that can take care of them when they make the call for water, is the face that they can manage their farms much better," Valicoff said.
The reservoir was paid for by a combination of the Bureau of Reclamation, the ROZA Irrigation District, and the Department of Ecology.
The total came out to a little more than $30 million and it holds 1,600 acre feet of water. Which is over 500 million gallons.
"Water that was normally wasted here would be sent back to the Yakima River. We're actually able to capture that water with this resevior," said Tom Tebb with the Department of Ecology.
How much water each area gets is determined by the size of snowpacks in winter and then percentages of that water is divided amongst farmers.
Before, farmers in need of water would have to make a call and wait four to five days for it to get there from the head gate in the Yakima River Canyon.
With this, they can cut the wait time in half and save farmers from losing money.
"If that water isn't available for the plant, it can stress the plant or the trees, which would cause quite a bit of shrinkage," Valicoff said. "Which in turn would be millions of dollars of loss to individuals."
While we are almost at the end of harvest season in the valley, farmers in the ROZA district know they have extra water next year if needed.

Obituary: Ann Hedges McKinstry Micou
Montclair Local Published: January 6, 2023
Ann Hedges McKinstry Micou
Ann Hedges McKinstry Micou, formerly of Montclair, an educator and writer who worked in international efforts for social justice and economic development, including the fight against apartheid, died on Dec. 30, 2022, at Crane's Mill independent living community in West Caldwell. She was 92.
Mrs. Micou was born in 1930 in Santa Barbara, California, the youngest daughter of Gen. and Mrs. Charles Hedges McKinstry. She graduated from Concord Academy in Massachusetts, and received a bachelor's in English, Phi Beta Kappa, from Mills College in Oakland, California, in 1952 and a master's in nonprofit management from the New School in New York in 1982. In 2014, at the age of 84, she earned a doctorate in American literature at Drew University.
She was married for 56 years to Paul Micou, a United Nations officer, who died in 2011, and with whom she raised two children, Julie Micou Cerf and Paul Micou, both of Montclair.
Mrs. Micou began her career as a high school English teacher in San Francisco and Washington, D.C. Later, she lived with her family for five years in Turkey and Iran during the 1960s and early 1970s. The Micou family traveled widely around the Middle East, visiting historical and archaeological sites, and learned Turkish and Farsi, accompanied by their Turkish sheep dog, Tutie, to whom she was particularly devoted.
In Ankara, Turkey, she edited the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics at Hacettepe University; in Tehran, Iran, she taught American literature at Pars College. She also wrote two books while in Iran, "Handbook for Iran" and "You Already Know Persian," both published by the American Women's Club.
Back in the United States in 1972, she and her family lived in Wilton, Connecticut, from which she commuted to Manhattan for 26 years.
At World Education, Inc., an organization dedicated to improving people's lives around the world through education and social and economic development programs, she was responsible for producing newsletters and annual reports for eight years, and for five years at the United States Council for International Business as director of communications.
At the Institute of International Education, during the period immediately before the fall of apartheid, she directed for 12 years the Southern African Information Exchange, producing dozens of directories on resources for anti-apartheid groups.
She traveled to southern Africa 40 times and published numerous papers on human rights and the role of voluntary organizations in emerging democracies. During this time, she developed close relationships with colleagues working at anti-apartheid voluntary organizations in South Africa and told vivid tales about their courage and bravery.
In 1999, she and her husband moved to South Newfane, Vermont. During the next decade she wrote a series of guides to literature set in Vermont that were published by the Vermont Humanities Council.
In 2009 the couple moved to Montclair to be near the Cerf family. After completing her doctoral degree, she began working as a writing consultant at the Center for Writing Excellence at Montclair State University in 2015; she retired in 2019.
She was a member of the Montclair Women's Club, where she indexed and archived many years of the club's former magazine, Quest, producing a social history of the club's membership in the early 20th century.
Mrs. Micou's career was complemented by terrific zest for life, for family, for elevated conversation, for travel and for what she called "making the world a better place." Still passionate about this in her late 80s, she volunteered for the Petey Greene Program at Northern State Prison in Newark, tutoring incarcerated adults studying for high school equivalency diplomas.
In addition to her daughter and son, she is survived by her son-in-law, Monty Cerf; her five grandchildren, Olivia, Charlotte and Jason Cerf and Charles and William Micou; her sisters, Sally Hall of Santa Barbara and Evelyn Thorne of New York City; one great-grandchild and many nieces and nephews.
Services were private.
Donations may be made in her memory to continue the work of the Petey Greene Program at tinyurl.com/HonoringAnn.
Arrangements were by Compassionate Cremation Services, Clifton.

Need a barman for your next bash, but don't want to hire a human or force one of your friends to mind the taps all night? Thanks to the glory of technology, one company solved that problem. Meet R2BeerMe.
Named after the famous "Star Wars" robot R2D2, this drink-droid is a motorized, remote-controlled beer "kegerator" (mini-fridge turned keg cooler, with tap.) As reported by bizjournals.com, R2BeerMe was created by real estate adviser Charlie Wolff, and it generally tends to protocol by scooting around his firm's office on a modified wheelchair chassis.
Wolff was inspired by hospitality carts that circled his company office during parties, and he rolled with the idea. "In a parallel universe, I had aspirations of building an RC lawn mower," he said. "Everyone has a garage project, right? So, I had put together a wheelchair base under radio control."
R2BeerMe has been known to sport a camera, mood lighting, sound effects, and even a different costumes (including Pancho Villa) for events of all sorts. But most importantly, he's full of beer. And that's a Force you want to be with you.
Now he just needs his sidekick, C-3POT.


The phase 2 competition of the FemBioBiz Acceleration Programme participants echoed a common purpose: to use Mozambique's abundant and underutilised natural resources to better the wellbeing of their communities.
Human health and specialised bio-products was the order of the day at this year's South Africa edition of the FemBioBiz Acceleration Programme (Season 2) – Phase 1 Business Training and Pitching competition, arranged by SANBio in partnership with the Africa Women Innovation Entrepreneurship Forum (AWIEF). The event was held in Cape Town on 29-30 May 2018.
Ms Ntombenhle Hlengiwe Gama, a PhD student at the University of Pretoria, was recently awarded the Women in Science Award (WISA) Doctoral Scholarship by the Department of Science and Technology in South Africa.
Biotechnology is a field rife with opportunities and potential to improve the lives of communities across the globe. Nevertheless, some potential risks cannot be discounted. Today we are profiling a smart professional from the National Biotechnology Authority (NBA) in Zimbabwe, working on biosafety. NBA is a a statutory body with a mandate to manage and support biotech, research and application in Zimbabwe.
During our recent visit to Mozambique, we met with Dr Claudia Baule (DVM, PhD). Her enthusiasm towards biosciences presented an excellent chance to interview her more closely on her career as a scientist as well as her views on the role of biosciences not only in Mozambique but in the whole Southern Africa region. Due to the length of the interview, the below is a shortened version, and the full article can be found here.


I have been blessed with naatyacharyas (Bharatanatyam teachers) who are completely devoted to their art, and incredibly willing to share. They each have their strengths, passions, and characteristics from which I gain inspiration.
Padmini Chari – Padmini Aunty is a high energy, high enthusiasm person, with a very unassuming depth of knowledge in the art. She leads by example in her reverence for her gurus, Sri Adyar K. Lakshman and Smt. Kalanidhi Narayanan, and passes on that value to her students with humility – not to have reverence for her, but to have reverence for those who teach you. Her generosity as a teacher has been a true blessing for me.
Sri V.P. and Smt. Shanta Dhananjayan – this famed multidimensional couple have been commanding stage artists for 50+ years, creative choreographers, exacting teachers, tireless advocates for their arts. They show an encouragement and pride of their students and their students' work that is rare. Dhananjayan Anna reminds us that honesty is the path to truly improving and making change. Shanta Akka, whose anga suddham and depth of expression were my early "WOW!" moments in Bharatanatyam, defines poise, warmth, humility and dignity to me – not to mention her command over the art form. She reminds us that teaching with patience and without compromise will always get excellent results.
Sri M.V. Narasimhachari and Smt. M. Vasanthalakshmi – in my eyes, a couple who epitomize originality in their thinking and their work, and creating uplifting beauty with an incredible depth on knowledge in dance, theater, music, literature and culture. Vasantha Akka's blend of understated elegance and complete command of her artistry is incredibly unique. Master's passing in August 2015 has most certainly left a huge void, but he has also left an incredible legacy. There are so many memories I cherish about Master beyond his artistic genius. But he shared a few words with me many years ago that have influenced me greatly – he told me that I must keep creating, and keep sharing. If you keep creating and sharing ideas, you would always come up with new and better ones. And, that the only reason to not share what you have is that you are afraid that you cannot come up with any more.
