Q: get as far as doing something
Possible Duplicate:
What is the meaning of "get as far as doing something"?

According to my dictionary, we can use this expression to talk about how much progress someone makes, or how much effect something does. In my point of view, I think that there is no difference between these sentences, supposing they are both correct.
I went to Spain and I bought 5 Spanish music cd's.
I went to Spain and I got as far as buying 5 Spanish music cd's.
I reallly can't understand why the explanation talks about progress. Supposing the 2nd sentence is correct, I bought 5 cd's as well as in the 1st sentence.

A: "I got as far as buying 5 CDs" means that you were in the process of buying 6 or more CDs, but at that point you had only bought 5.
It may be that you did indeed go on to buy more, but often when we use the phrase it is because we are about to describe something that interrupted the progress. "I got as far as buying 5 CDs when the stores closed".
"I bought 5 CDs" has no implication that you were going to buy more.

I only read Kissing Santa Claus by Jill Shalvis. So the review and rating are for that short story alone and not the entire anthology as a whole.
According to the text, this short takes place approximately 5 months after Lucky Harbor book #2, The Sweetest Thing.
To be totally honest, I had wondered how a short story for Logan Perrish, Tara's ex-husband, would manage so soon after their divorce and the end of his battle to reclaim Tara's heart. And honestly, had Logan been a different man rather than the man he had given me the impression he was from The Sweetest Thing, and maybe if I'd read this short story five months after I finished reading The Sweetest Thing, and maybe if Sandy and Logan had had more of a back story than they actually did... I might have been a little more inclined to enjoy it as a short and sweet little romance all on its own for Christmas and holiday's sake.
But really, it was a pointless, PWP (plot-what-plot) short story that doesn't sit well with me because I can't fathom how easily Logan falls in love with a woman he only spent a short time with after he'd spent the entire summer chasing after Tara. And to make matters a little more hard to take, I believe Logan and Sandy started off their little fling during THAT same summer he'd spent trying to win Tara back. The two of them were together for a week, then spent the next five months ignoring each other for REASONS, and now they want forever with each other.
Maybe if Logan and Sandy were merely starting a tentative, yet exclusive, steady relationship due to chemistry and maybe a bold need to make a change in each other's lives... But the forever "You're it for me and the rest of my life" type of love is a little too difficult to actually believe in and probably easy to brush off if this weren't a short Christmas fic.
And that's a lot of "maybes" and "probablys" to work with for such a deep romantic insight, packed into a 30 page short story.
Nonetheless, this was a cute little love story. And the guest appearance of Tara for a short scene was delightful enough. But the so-called romantic gestures on Logan's part were kind of tacky and might have been a bit condescending and cliched.
Not the best short story in the world.


I love photographing landscapes, and when I was out photographing barns one day, I found myself framing a shot across a pasture with this rustic old fence in the foreground. I noticed the sunlight just filtering through the grasses growing along the edge of the field, and decided it was a much prettier tableau than the barn itself.
This is lighter than I thought it would be, but overall very nice!!


Join the discussion on our forums! Come discuss Arrogant Crusader over in our dedicated Arrogant Crusader discussion topic.
With this card, I'm honestly "damn the functionality and the strategy", I'd play him just for those funny as hell voice clips.
I dont tihnk people know how this card works. Firstly its obvious you need to have taunt givers in deck. Bonemayer and spikeridged should be enough depending whether you have more of such minions like those who summon 8/8 skeleton. In such case i suggest adding sunfury protector since shes cheaper than argus and you already have expensive taunt givers.
If it doesnt go off its kinda like fireball which can be saved for later after the mana had been used. But this should be done only at necessity.
Overall its a pretty good card in nzoth paladin.
I am using this guy in my divine shield midrange deck. He is really really good I have to say. Most of the times I get the ghoul from him, because my opponents trade in him.
Would be insane at 3 mana. Probably still good though in an aggressive deck. It's not like you opponent can ignore a 5 attack minion.
A worse Piloted Shredder. Which is fine I suppose. Piloted Shredder is an insane card that I'd rather not see in standard again.
Pack fillers under form of class card. Poor Paladin and it is even a rare not even common.
Am I wrong in that this seems relatively decent?
It ends up being 7/4 in stats if your opponent removes it on their turn. If they don't, you have the choice of where or what to attack with it.
I can't say it's good enough to be constructed viable - especially with the glut of 4 mana cards paladin has, as well as how bad this is against low cost minions, but it doesn't seem like the worst card ever.
In worst case it's a 4/4 if they remove it with 2/2 minion or something. But then again if it survives it can get rid of Tar Creeper or Sludge Belcher and cards like that. Decent card but I agree that it probably won't see play in constructed because there are lots of better options at turn 4.

Cristiano Ronaldo: Solskjaer Needs To Start Wining Trophies – Wayne Rooney
Mawande Nzulu
Former Manchester United Soccer Star, Wayne Rooney has pointed that the recent deal by the Solskjaer putting the Portuguese striker into his team now means that he need to start winning big titles.
Recall that a few days ago it was officially announced that Cristiano Ronaldo joined Old Trafford after 12 years.
The 36-year-old underwent a medical in Lisbon, Portugal over the weekend and is expected to be in contention to make his second debut after the international break.
United had a busy transfer window that also saw the addition of Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane to an already star-studded squad.
"Cristiano is still one of the best players in the world and has won titles everywhere he's been so he's going to be huge," he said according to Metro.
"He still wants to be the best and I'm sure he will have a big impact on them this season.
"Ole will certainly know that he's in a position now where he needs to start winning these big titles with the players that he's brought in.
"For their development, to get to the next step now is to start winning titles."

Coronavirus: Dozens more COVID-19 cases reported in Fiji
Watch: Fiji fears 'COVID tsunami' after 'double mutant' variant outbreak (from April). Credits: Video - The AM Show; Image - Newshub.
By Lice Movono for RNZ
Forty six people from Fiji's central division where the capital Suva is located, have COVID-19, taking the national total to 195 active cases.
Fiji has had 360 cases in total since the first case was reported in March 2020, with 161 recoveries and 4 deaths.
The Ministry of Health Permanent Secretary Dr James Fong said two patients are in the intensive care unit of the Colonial War Memorial Hospital in Suva.
"Today has not been an easy day, nor do I expect that the days ahead will get any better. Many of you have questions. I hope to answer some now and I am assured that a press conference will be organised soon to answer more questions," Dr Fong said.
Funerals seen as spreader events
Calling attention to what he described as the troublesome nature of final rites, Dr Fong said funerals were the spreader events of the current outbreak of the B1617 variant of COVID-19.
The health head called on Fijians to adjust funerals and while he acknowledged it was a difficult time for all involved, he asked that people adjust activities to suit the current situation.
Authorities have restricted funerals to graveside services with only 10 persons in attendance at the cemetery and lead up events.
"Everyone should recall that this latest outbreak gained momentum when one person who contracted the virus in the border quarantine area attended a funeral, yet funeral gatherings continue to be sources of spread."
The deceased must be buried, and we must pay our respects and accompany them during their last hours on earth, but we must temporarily find new ways to do this.
Fiji fears 'COVID tsunami' after 'double mutant' variant outbreak
The harrowing impact on Fiji of a year without tourists
Families are urged to limit graveside services to 10 persons and to limit gatherings before or after the burial to 10 persons or less. Investigations indicate that in some instances, funeral gatherings of 100 were split up into five so-called "bubbles" of 20 persons," he said.
Meanwhile 43of the new cases are linked to existing clusters which had been under investigation and were detected through contact tracing and targeted screening.
Of the 43 new cases, 28 are from Nadali in Nausori town and 3 are from Navosai near Nausori which are linked to the Narere funeral cluster. Two are from the Muanikoso cluster which stems from a staff of Extra Supermarket in Suva city where an outbreak occurred a fortnight ago.
Meanwhile, nine more naval officers are confirmed positive, nine of whom are from Kinoya in Nasinu town and one is from Nadonumai in Lami which had previously been COVID-19 free. One cluster is linked to a Samabula household where a funeral had taken place a week ago.
The remaining three new positive cases are not yet linked to other cases and were still being investigated.
The Nadali red zone is 29 into a targeted lockdown while Muanikoso is on day six.
"It is important to note that the majority of these cases have been found as a result of our extensive contact tracing effort and are linked to known clusters. This increase was not unexpected, but it should serve to show how easily this virus is transmitted and why restrictions are in place," Dr Fong said.
"We expect the number of cases to rise because we are testing aggressively in areas where we know the virus is spreading. We have a number of prominent locations under investigation including Government buildings and Kadavu House."
The permanent secretary said COVID-19 had spread within containment zones but assured medical authorities would be "exercising extra vigilance to ensure that there is no spread outside those containment zones."
Enforcement of COVID-safe restrictions including restrictions on movement and gatherings will be strengthened along with enforcement of mask-wearing, physical distancing amongst other measures, Dr Fong added.

Fiji shuts hospital, locks patients and staff inside after 'very serious' COVID-19 infection case
The MOH has in the past week administered 19,348 AstraZeneca vaccines in the Suva-Nausori corridor and 24,042 in all of Fiji.
"To date, 18.5 percent of the targeted population have received at least one dose and 3117 individuals have had 2 doses.
An additional 50,000 doses are due to arrive in the country by the end of the week. Once these doses are deployed, at least 260,000 persons will have got their first dose," Dr Fong said.
Restrictions in west and north
Dr Fong said the information from the Western Division where gateway town Nadi and port city Lautoka was good but authorities would exercise caution and continue surveillance work. Restrictions in the Western division are being reviewed and changes to the containment measures there and in the Northern Division would be announced soon.
"We will need to maintain restrictions on movement from Viti Levu to Vanua Levu in order to ensure that Vanua Levu remains transmission-free. We will be exploring and announcing soon protocols of movement that will allow persons who have not been home for long to return home.
This virus has kept families apart and has caused undue social suffering. Our response has been firm and has proven successful in the western division and in specific locations in the Central Division," he said.


What Can You Do to Stop Creditor Harassment?
Facing financial difficulty is stressful and receiving constant calls from creditors makes it more so. Once you file for bankruptcy, these harassing calls stop, but if you are only in the consideration stage and you have yet to officially file, the calls can be relentless. Though you cannot stop the calls completely without filing, you can expect creditors to follow certain legal regulations when contacting you. It is within their right to make an attempt to recover the money they are owed, but they must do so within the limitations of the law.
If you are in a financial bind and you owe creditors money, you have likely heard every threat in the book. Creditors call at odd hours, they attempt to contact your family, friends, and employer, and they show very little consideration for your circumstances. Their goal is to collect their money and they will use any means at their disposal to do so.
When the calls you are receiving from creditors cross a line, you have the right to do something about it. If you feel threatened by the calls or a creditor has overstepped the boundaries set by the law, you should report the behavior. An experienced bankruptcy attorney can explain what creditors are legally permitted to do and offer you protection if a creditor goes beyond their legal restrictions.
You can also end collection calls by telling a creditor you are represented by a lawyer. When a creditor violates any of these restrictions, it is within your legal right to sue the creditor.
In addition to the fresh start bankruptcy eventually provides, the process also stops collection calls. The moment you file bankruptcy, all phone calls, law suits, repossessions, and foreclosures halt. Specific details concerning your bankruptcy determine your future arrangements with creditors, but the harassment must stop the moment you file for bankruptcy. Your attorney will help you either discharge the debts completely or create a repayment arrangement through a court approved plan. The good news for you is that the creditors are prohibited from attempting to collect the debt at this point.
If you are tired of the harassment from creditors and you believe bankruptcy might be your best option, we can help. Contact the law office of Frank J. Laperch, PC for information about what you can do to get your financial woes under control. Our goal is to get you through the tough times and help you build a brighter financial future.


Two of the three leading UofG academics elected Fellows of the British Academy this year are from the College of Arts.
Fellows of the British Academy are leading minds in their academic fields and represent the very best of humanities and social sciences research, in the UK and globally.
Professor Lynn Abrams, Professor of Modern History and Head of the School of Humanities, along with Professor Alexandra Shepard, also of the School of Humanities, are both among the new cohort announced by the British Academy. They are joined by their UofG colleague Professor Hervé Moulin, of the Adam Smith Business School.
This year marks the largest ever cohort of new Fellows elected to the British Academy for their distinction in the humanities and social sciences. Altogether 76 world-leading academics have been elected from universities across the UK and around the world.
Professor Abrams' research interests are in the history of women and gender relations, the social and cultural history of modern Britain as well as oral history theory and methodology.
She has published widely in the field of modern European women's and gender history on topics including marriage and the family, post-war womanhood, autonomy and the self, Scottish masculinities, the history of child welfare, everyday life, the home, and memory.
She has led projects on Scottish knitted textiles, the gendering of Scottish history and the history of post-war housing in Glasgow.
Professor Abrams said: "Being elected as a Fellow by one's peers is a huge accolade and acknowledgment of the central place of women's and gender history within historical scholarship.
As Co-Investigator of an AHRC funded project on 'Women Negotiating the Boundaries of Justice: Britain and Ireland, c.1100-c.1750', and as leader of a Leverhulme International Network Grant on "Producing Change: Gender and Work in Early Modern Europe", she is currently involved in comparative research projects on women's agency before the law and on gender and the early modern economy. She is also currently researching a book on childcare, family and economy in Britain, 1650-1850.
She said: "I'm delighted by the recognition this brings to the history of gender inequality, and I'm grateful for the many opportunities for collaboration and exchange I've had through the Centre for Gender History here at the University of Glasgow".
The British Academy's newest cohort of Fellows also reflects the growing diversity of research in the UK. The proportion of women elected to the Fellowship has doubled in the last five years.

Gyula Csapó: Déjà? Kojâ?
Bozzini Quartet
Collection QB / CQB 1821, CQB 1821_NUM / 2017
Gyula Csapó hails from the rich Hungarian musical tradition. Beyond his Liszt Academy diploma (Budapest), he went to study to IRCAM in Paris and completed his Ph.D. with Morton Feldman in the United States (1989). He taught at SUNY-Buffalo, McGill and Princeton Universities. He is Full Professor of Composition and Music Theory at the University of Saskatchewan, and also holds a Habilitation Doctorate from the Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest. Csapó received the 2009 ARTISJUS Prize "Composition of the Year" for his Concerto for Viola and a Changing Environment (recorded on Hungaroton, 2010), numerous grants and commissions such as his 2011 Canada Council Grant for the string quartet Déjà? Kojâ? commissioned by the Quatuor Bozzini. Csapó's music is performed worldwide, (at venues like The Juilliard School, Lincoln Center, New York, Royal Festival Hall, London, UK, Muziekgebouw, Amsterdam (with Continuum, Toronto, Canada), CBC Radio and the Montréal New Music Festival, Tessara Autumn Festival in Tokyo). The ARMEL Opera Festival and Competition made Csapó's tetra-lingual opera Phèdre its entry work for international opera companies in 2014. Csapó published a large series of scores with Editio Musica and was selected to the roster of Universal Music, whose Contemporary Music Catalogue describes him as follows: "His music grew out of the minimalism of the 1970s, to which his early analytical minimalism, drone systems and timbral sensitivity responded by giving it a new dimension. Early exposure to the music of Cage, Feldman, Kurtág, Boulez, Stockhausen and Xenakis and the Budapest New Music Studio merely strengthened his pursuit of his own unmistakable path in works quintessentially Csapó without ever a reminiscence or a repeat. His career led him from Hungary through Paris to New York and Canada, and this trajectory endowed him with a truly global musical outlook that he carefully and consciously cultivates. His music, once heard, is impossible to forget due to its often timeless beauty, referencing multiple traditions while being exceptionally innovative; finding a voice for the general and the highly individual alike, and creating unique narratives and dramaturgies that embrace and mesmerize its listeners worldwide." In 2014 Csapó became elected as a member of the prestigious Széchenyi Academy of Arts and Letters (Budapest, Hungary). The year 2015 will hear the world premiere of the complete quartet Déjà? Kojâ? Parts I-II-III, the European premieres of Tool az Óperencián (2012) and a new work Trilce V de César Vallejo (2014) for eight-stringed guitar and baritone voice with falsetto.

Video about Hawaii hiking bloggers for Hawaiian Airlines. Oahu, Hawaii.
My friend Brad Watanabe (owner of Berad Studio) and I teamed up again to produce another video for Hawaiian Skies, the video magazine of Hawaiian Airlines.
Starting today, and for the next four months, it will be shown on Hawaiian Airlines flights to and from the mainland. You can also press play in the video above and watch it online via the Hawaiian Skies YouTube channel.
The video features the three Hawaii hiking bloggers that have had the greatest influence on me. Kaleo Lancaster's blog Island Trails opened my eyes to what hiking in Hawaii could be. Shortly after discovering Island Trails, I stumbled across Nate Yuen's blog Hawaiian Forest and Joshua Serrano's blog 808 Goonies. For some time I used those three blogs as my main resource for discovering new trails.
It was a pleasure to interview those guys and get to know them a little bit better by making this video. I have also, by the way, shamelessly featured myself in the video. And, the trail we are on is the Poamoho Trail.
I hope you enjoy it. Read on to learn a bit more about the making of this piece. It was a pretty long process.
This project started way back in early February. Brad and I were chatting in the hallway at work (we used to work together at an advertising agency downtown) and I mentioned I was interested in making a video about hiking in Hawaii. We had learned a lot through our first video project together (the rock climbing video called "Hawaii Bouldering") and figured we could apply that experience to a new project. We tossed around several ideas and the concept of hiking bloggers was the one that stuck.
Hawaii is known around the world for it's beautiful blue waters and glorious golden sand, but often overlooked are it's magnificent mountain ranges. Over the last few years, a growing community of hikers have gone digital with their explorations. Combining still and video photography, they blog about the panoramas and uncharted terrains (typically unseen and unknown to mainstream hikers). This new digital generation of hikers are not only exploring Hawaii for themselves, but with the purpose of sharing their journeys with the world wide web. This Hawaiian Skies segment will feature four hikers who actively blog about their experiences and explorations as they hike in Hawaii.
The first step to get the project started was to see if the bloggers would be up for it. And that's how we ended up here (at the house pictured above) in Wahiawa at Kaleo's house.
I hadn't seen Kaleo and Brian since our backpacking trip to Waimanu Valley. We caught up over beers, steak and poke and then discussed the video. He was down. I was stoked.
From there I gave Nate and Josh a call and was happy to hear they were up for it as well.
Over the course of the month, Brad and I brainstormed and planned the video. We would meet during lunch or right after work to brainstorm. We set up the first shoot at the end of February. We were shooting this video in a style totally unfamiliar to us. For me especially, since this would be my second video production ever. This shoot in my apartment would be sort of a practice run so we could work out the kinks before interviewing the other guys.
Brad produces TV commercials (in fact his latest commercial for Pearlridge Center is currently airing on TV) so he owns a lot of the gear necessary to turn my apartment into a mini set. If I look awkward here, that's just because being in front of the camera is still very awkward for me.
About a month later, at the very end of March, we scheduled a shoot with Josh. Since Josh is currently a student at UH Manoa, he suggested we shoot his interview there. Brad and I loved the idea so we met him there and instructed him to walk aimlessly throughout different parts of campus while we recorded him.
Luckily it was Spring Break and there were very few people on campus. We found this quiet area with some tables to conduct the interview.
The very next day, after Josh's interview, Brad and I drove out to Kaleo's house again. Joel Campos, owner of Studio:Red (an amazing wedding video production company in Hawaii) came out to shoot this segment with us.
Then the very next day after that, we shot the hike. Brad organized the entire thing. He brought out Joel again and Chris and Jon Rhoades to grab video from all different angles and distances. Noah Tom and Rae Huo (a professional photographer in Hawaii) came out as well to take still photos. Brad also contacted the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to discuss our project and their trail specialist, Aaron Lowe, came out to guide us on the trail.
Aaron is the Oahu Trail and Access Specialist for the Na Ala Hele Hawaii Trail System. It was a very nice of him to take the time to accompany us on his day off.
When Brad and I first started talking about this project, he immediately mentioned that we should get Joel involved. See, Joel is sort of an expert with the Steadicam. With the vest mounted stabilizer, Joel was able to and capture steady video while walking on the trail. The effect makes it seem like the camera is hovering on air.
As we hiked up to the summit, Aaron pointed out some notable plants and vistas for us to capture on film.
At the Poamoho summit we took a group photo of the crew.
Back row: Joel Campos, Joshua Serrano, David Chatsuthiphan, Kaleo Lancaster, Rae Huo, Ryan Chang, Nate Yuen, Aaron Lowe. Front row: Mel Rhoades, Chris Rhoades, Jon Rhoades, Brad Watanabe, Noah Tom.
After those three consecutive days of hiking, we still had one more shoot left. About a month later, at the end of April, Brad and I drove out to Kaneohe to shoot Nate's interview. After this shoot I wrote up a blog post about Nate's photography gallery at the Tagami and Powell Gallery.
From that point on, it was mostly up to Brad to take all that footage, catalog it, synch the video and audio and cut the piece together.
This process happened in phases. First Brad put together an edit of just Josh's segment. We took that edit and tweaked the shots and music options until we nailed down the style we wanted for this piece.
Then Brad put together an edit for the rest of the interviews and the hike. At that point we basically had 5 separate vignettes. 4 interviews and a hike. From there we spent an entire day at Brad's house in front of the computer figuring out how to blend the 5 pieces together into one cohesive video. It was like a puzzle. A puzzle that takes a long long time to complete.
Once we were happy with the sequence of shots and voice over, I went home and Brad spent another couple days polishing up the video. He adjusted the color in every video clip, cleaned up the audio and added in the titles. All this work for a 12 minute piece. What I've learned is that video production (even run and gun projects like this one) take a lot of time and effort if you want it to look professional.

FIRST-GEN is one of the Academic Themed Community options available to freshman seeking on campus living. This community is particularly geared for students who are the first to attend college in their family and who seek an extra layer of support to ensure success during their first year of college. FIRST-GEN is designed to maximize success at Sonoma State University by helping residents connect to each other, and creating a support system within the FIRST-GEN community. FIRST-GEN is dedicated to facilitating the development of helpful relationships between residents and SSU faculty and staff, and through offering intentional academic and personal development programming that will help students make the most of their SSU experience.
FIRST-GEN students, faculty, and student staff are engaged in a holistic approach in addressing transition to college and academic skill development in the classroom, and as a residential community member. Through active involvement in FIRST-GEN, students will be better prepared to meet the demands of university life through understanding of self, and utilization of campus resources, and through developing and fostering mentoring relationships with student leaders, faculty and staff.
In the fall, FIRST-GEN students are enrolled together in University 102 , First Year Experience, (2 unit elective credit) transitions course. FIRST-GEN students are also enrolled together in a yearlong course specially reserved for FIRST-GEN students related to the theme of race in contemporary U.S., (4 units GE credit). The classes are integrated into the programs and activities offered in the residential community. Therefore, students can apply what they are learning in one class to all the classes and what they are engaging in outside of the classroom.
Students who reside in the FIRST-GEN living area will be assigned to the Zinfandel Village.
Please note that the following majors are not eligible to participate in the FIRST-GEN program due to required major courses that conflict with FIRST-GEN classes: Chemistry/Biochemistry, Communication Studies, Engineering, Hutchins, Mathematics, Music and Theater Arts.
To help prepare First Generation students become connected to Sonoma State's, resources, programs and other that FIRST-GEN students, and feel more comfortable and successful in a university setting. Students will be able to create community with other First Gen students where they can help each other succeed here at Sonoma State.
What are the learning outcomes of FIRST-GEN?
Students will be able to identify and use campus resources that will help them be successful in their college transition.
Students will take classes together to develop connections with a common academic experience.
Students will interact with Sonoma State faculty to better understand the role of students in classroom and gain additional support.
Students will build connections with other FIRST-GEN students that will allow them to have a support network with students going through similar experiences and transition.
What are the benefits of active involvement in FIRST-GEN?
What does the community look like and how many spaces are available?
The FIRST-GEN living/learning community is housed in Semillon in Zinfandel Village, which includes the Residential Life Office, Study Lounge, Service Desk, and Zinfandel Pool. To maintain a small, close-knit community where students have the opportunity to create one-on-one relationships with faculty and staff associated with the program, space is limited to 46 residents.
What are the unique features of FIRST-GEN?
One of the signature points of the FIRST-GEN Program is the utilization of a team of advanced student leaders who play a critical role in connecting the classroom to the living room. FIRST-GEN has two Peer Mentors, who co-teaches a specialized section of University 102 (First Year Experience transitions course) and a Community Service Advisor (CSA), who resides in the building and creates community building activities and events. The student leader team also arranges for outside of the class field trips, and events with faculty members. Additionally, they will focus on teaching FIRST-GEN residents effective study skills, including the utilization of study groups within their community.
Strong connections with faculty complement the ACE program. The importance of faculty commitment to this program is affirmed by out-of-class involvement with students at meals, study sessions, field trips, and receptions.
What are the requirements of the FIRST-GEN program?
There is no additional fee to participate in the program, even though there are many additional benefits provided by both the Residential Life Office and the academic departments. No English placement or Math placement requirements. Because there is the living component, students must live on-campus in the FIRST-GEN building their entire freshman year. Failure to maintain enrollment in all FIRST-GEN courses will result in a forfeit of the FIRST-GEN contract and students will be required to move to a different building or village, space permitting. Must live on campus in the designated FIRST-GEN building, the entire academic year. No exceptions.
Maintain enrollment in all FIRST-GEN courses both Fall and Spring semesters. No exceptions.
Check each program to determine its individual requirements.
Select First-Gen as your desired Academic Community when you complete your online Housing License Agreement. This process takes place through the Housing Office in the spring.

Blood In The Gutter: A Comics Noir Primer
If you're a fan of noir, if you like your crime tales bleak and nihilistic, if you like your movies to be in black and white, and your morals to be all shades of grey, then there are some comics that you should know about. See, crime stories were a news-stand staple long before the capes and masks came over the rooftops and camped up the joint. You could get your fix of guns, broads and hard-faced men making bad decisions in the newspapers. The true crime comics vied with Warren and EC's horror titles for pure visceral, authority-baiting thrills. And that tradition carries on today with writers and artists across the planet giving us stories that hit hard and stay put.
You can look back to the Thirties for the kickstart. Shovel-faced 'tec Dick Tracy hit the newstands of the Chicago Tribune in 1931, followed soon afterwards by a strip from none other than Dashiell Hammett, Secret Agent X-9. Fast-moving, slick-talking, action-packed and filled with Hammett's rich dialogue, the strip was also graced with the art of Alex Raymond, who would take what he learned about economical storytelling and dial it into the title he became best known for: Flash Gordon.
In the early forties, Mickey Spillane would use the comics format to get his start, creating a character called Mike Danger. Danger would change his name, become the hard as nails Mike Hammer. He would become a hit in the pulps, on screen, and in the Sundays, where the books were adapted into strip form with surprising fidelity for the times.
Meanwhile, Will Eisner would redefine what could be accomplished with the format in his seminal Spirit strips. The forties and early fifties brought a slew of new books to the stand, that didn't bother about the family values of the newspaper strips, going full out for lurid thrills. Titles like Crime Does Not Pay and Real Clue helped create a boom that saw one commentator estimate that in 1949 one in every seven comics dealt with crime – and its punishment. These were supposed to be cautionary tales, ripped from the headlines, showing the bad guys getting their just desserts. But no detail was spared in making sure the reader saw every detail of the adventures of Baby Face Nelson, Machine-Gun Kelly and the like. The books were thrill-packed, gory, and caused so much of a ruction in church and parent groups that they helped lead to the creation of the Comics Code – a self-imposed code of conduct that ripped the heart and guts out of the American crime book scene for decades.
America is not the world, though. The European comics scene was never one for the superhero boom, and crime tales like Sanchez Abuli and Jordi Bernet's Torpedo 1936 and Sampayo and Munoz's Alack Sinner took the hard-boiled approach and filtered it through an angular, expressionistic filter that was even more bleak and bloody than the comics that they were, on the surface, at least, playing homage too. I discovered these titles as an avid reader of anthologies like Deadline and Revolver in the late 80's and early 90's, and they've always haunted me.
The growth of the direct sales market in the 80s meant that comics publishers no longer had to rely on newstand sales, selling straight to fans or through burgeoning new comic store chains. They could also sidestep the Comics Code, and the books on offer began to regain some of the power of the old titles. In amongst the horde of cape-and-mask books, Max Allen Collins and Terry Beatty created Ms. Tree, (say it out loud to figure out the pun) a female 'tec as tough and smart as Hammer or Marlowe. Collins would later go on to reinvigorate Dick Tracy in the Sunday funnies, and create a striking and powerful noir graphic novel, The Road To Perdition. The film's great but the book, with exquisite artwork from Richard Piers Rayner, is better. Collins is a principal figure in the revivication of comics noir from the 90's on.
Of course, you can't talk contemporary comics noir without mentioning Frank Miller. Sin City brought the genre up to date with a bang with Marv's first appearance in the Dark Horse Presents anthology. His skew had always been towards crime stories, though, and his work on Daredevil is noir extremis. Born Again, illustrated with an Alex Toth-like economy of line by David Mazzucchelli, strips Matt Murdoch down to the bone, driving him mad and allowing him to rediscover everything that is meaningful. Sin City has always been more of a homage, but the frantic energy and bleak amorality at the heart of the books make them essential reads.
There are a ton of great crime books around these days, from both European and American creators. Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips are creating their own version of The Wire with the dense, picaresque Criminal, while Brian Azzurello and Eduardo Risso's 100 Bullets wraps a conspiracy around an enigma around an exploration of the need for revenge. Paul Grist's Kane is a very English take on the Ed McBain-style station house saga, complete with nods to shows like Hill Street Blues. A personal favourite of mine, John Wagner and Vince Locke's A History Of Violence is a stark and brutal treatise on how you can never run away from your past. Again, the film is good, but the book is something else again. Canales and Guardino's Blacksad takes the funny animal tradition and gives it a solid noir makeover – coincidentally making it the biggest selling bande desinee in France at the moment.
This is really a brief overview, with the emphasis on the heavy heavy hitters and major influences. A great place to start if you want to explore is the Paul Gravett-edited Mammoth Book of Best Crime Comics, to which this post owes a heavy debt. Now, whaddya waitin' for, ya mugs? These here books ain't gonna read 'emselves…

'Better Things' Review: Season 4 Is an Experience Like Nothing Else on Television
Sam Fox is the ideal television star. Played with sagacious pluck by Pamela Adlon and inspired by her life, work, and family, the eccentric "Better Things" lead is curiously hard to read. Take an early Season 4 episode, when Sam discovers an owl nesting under her bedcovers. Will she freak out? Will she shoo it away? Will she take care of it, like she takes care of so many others? Will she make it a family affair, inviting her three daughters into the conversation before naming the owl Edwin and wrapping it in a blanket?
You may think you know what Sam is going to do next, but rarely are those assumptions rewarded. "Better Things" purposefully chooses its events, eliminating the obvious developments to dwell on defining moments. Sam's unpredictability is enticing on its own, as are her equally unexpected adventures, but the perpetual resourcefulness with which she lives her life, paired with her ability to get a quick read on strangers and share her deep empathy with those who pass the test — that's what makes her the kind of lead writers and viewers dream about.
"Better Things" Season 4 remains a perfect television series. This should come as no surprise to anyone wowed by the breathtaking emotional journey captured in the third season — there was no hint then, that Adlon, who showruns, produces, directs, and stars in every episode, was running out of steam. If anything, she was just getting started. Season 4 continues the bold shifts in format (including a wistful black-and-white silent movie and a killer "instagran" segment), keeps up its loosely serialized plotting (matching its mesmerizing, scripted, cinéma vérité aesthetic), and tells more one-off stories as beautiful vignettes (some you'll want to revisit immediately). But Season 4 also sets a definitive tone unlike previous seasons, in which Sam is forced to look at a future she doesn't want to imagine and yet still finds ways to celebrate the turbulent present one thing at a time.
Los Angeles natives should immediately notice the first thematic through-line helping illustrate life's inevitable contrasts: rain. It's raining all the time in Season 4; the kind of rain California so desperately needs in these drought-ridden years. Sam similarly has mixed feelings about the steady drip, drip, drip. Her ceiling is leaking. Her walls are bursting. The roads are slick. This is largely why people don't like rain, no matter where they live — it becomes a nuisance — but "Better Things" acknowledges the deeper ties to the downpours. With rain comes clouds, with clouds comes darkness, and darkness creates isolation, sorrow, and self-reflection; it's why symbolic rain has become a cliché — it's sad, and it's obviously sad.
But rain is also necessary. Farmers pray for rain because rain brings rebirth. Being alone isn't a bad thing, and Adlon's contemplative camera, roaming Sam's two-story home, recognizes the potential within the changing weather. Sam isn't sad in the rain, and neither are her girls. Not always. She and her daughters — Duke (Olivia Edward), Frankie (Hannah Alligood), and Max (Mikey Madison) — let the showers wash over them, whether it's a storm or a drizzle, choosing whether to appreciate its fleeting nature or fight forward with their own wants. Rain doesn't mean one thing in "Better Things," it means everything, and the patience shown in capturing those shifting emotional tides creates a powerful mood for the first six episodes.

As Max threatens to move out of her mother's house and Frankie starts seeing older men, Sam has to consider what's next, and she wrestles with it in aptly taxing fits and starts. She gets suckered into trying a dating app, but won't look up any of her suitors. She toys with life in another city during a destination wedding in New Orleans, and dives headfirst into local customs with enviable verve. She buys a new car that's only got room for two. Each choice, or the exploration of her options, is done slowly, over time, with just a few episodes bottling up the entirely of Sam's internal debates. It's a uniquely realistic depiction, given life sometimes requires acting fast, while other times you can sit on the precipice of a decision for years.
In this relatable presentation, as well as the natural dialogue and grounded performances, "Better Things" creates a powerful personal connection with its audience. Sam may be unpredictable, but she's not obtuse. She's a hard-worker, a respectful co-worker, a natural leader, a real-world empath, and a thoughtful mother — when a random "fan" approaches her at a restaurant, drunkenly bragging that he masturbated to her before, there's no doubt that Sam will push that toxicity as far from her as possible. Like her brunch guest, you want to get up and slug the guy in the face, but as a viewer, you get to sit and watch exactly how Sam will get this douchebag to back off. In this way and so many more, she's a leader. Adlon's choice to include the aforementioned moment isn't a gratuitous ploy for pity, but a recognition of what it's like for her to be out in the world, and what it's like for so many women.
All of this is delivered in such a natural way that it's even more astounding to see Adlon put her artistic stamp on scenes; to draw attention to her camera, use forceful cuts, or fit in scenes that don't match the more observational scenes of her series. New paintings adorn the stairs of the Fox family home, seen in plenty of early framings but magnified in a striking profile shot of Sam during a contemplative instant. The reeling shot that precedes it captures Sam's shock, but the jarring interjection of her still face looking out past these colorful portraits is informative to the character and aesthetically gorgeous. Later episodes feature jovial dance sequences, casually shot web videos, and more of Adlon's fascinating artistic exploration. It's like she's chasing a feeling only she can define, and there are endless ways to explore it.
Yet Sam Fox remains the ever-reliable fixture. Following her journey is more than enough reason to watch, but "Better Things" has become an event all its own. Plenty of shows hold your attention well enough to keep you hooked. Less leave you thinking about them long after they're over. Fewer still invite you to feel like you're a part of the story, week in and week out. Adlon's series lets you live inside it during each episode, and then invites you to carry its lessons, messages, and lifestyle out into the real world. Watching these episodes is an experience, and while Sam Fox stands tall as one of television's best characters, Adlon has created a vehicle around her lead unlike anything else you'll see.
"Better Things" Season 4 premieres its first two episodes Thursday, March 5 at 10 p.m. on FX. New episodes will be available the next day via FX on Hulu.

Lakewood, Olivet play for conference title for fourth straight year
By Mitchell Boatman mboatman@sentinel-standard.com616-522-6043
Oct 5, 2018 at 10:00 AM Oct 5, 2018 at 11:40 AM
LAKEWOOD - Lakewood and Olivet are working up quite the annual rivalry.
For the fourth consecutive year, the Vikings and Eagles will battle for the Greater Lansing Activities Conference title when Lakewood travels to Olivet on Friday night.
In each of the past three seasons, the winner of this game finished 5-0 and in first place in the GLAC, while the loser finished 4-1 in second place. Lakewood came out on top in 2015 and 2016, while Olivet took last year's game.
Lakewood comes in at 5-1 overall and ranked No. 10 in the state in Division 4 by the Associated Press. Its only loss was a 21-14 decision to Belding. Olivet has opened the season 6-0 and is ranked No. 6 in Division 5.
"A game like this is why you play any sport," Lakewood coach Matt Markwart said. "This game is always circled on the calendar. As the week starts to get closer you can feel the intensity start to rise.
"You start working on things just to play Olivet. The players ramp up practice. You can feel the nervous energy during team meetings. By this Friday, everyone is ready."
As if playing for the GLAC title isn't enough for Lakewood, a win would also guarantee the Vikings a berth in the Michigan High School Athletic Association playoffs.
"The players know how important this game is," Markwart said. "They get to win a conference championship and qualify for the playoffs in the same game. This is two ranked teams playing in the last game of the conference. This is going to be a great atmosphere to watch a football game in."
Regardless of the result, Friday's game will give Lakewood a good idea of where it stands against top-notch competition.
"This game is against a playoff team," Markwart said. "It will tell us how we measure up to another playoff-caliber team, what we need to work on, and what we need to do to finish the season."
The teams come in with very similar numbers for the season. Lakewood averages 43.5 points per game, while Olivet scores 48.6 per contest. The Vikings defense gives up just 12.3 points per game, while the Eagles allow 10.5.
Markwart says execution will be the key to cracking Olivet's strong defense.
"In this game, whoever executes better and makes the least mistakes will come away the winner," he said. "They have a solid defense with not many holes in it. Our line needs to block to the whistle and continue to open the holes for our backs.
"Our backs need to run hard and our receivers need to catch the ball. If we play as one unit we will be hard to stop."
Speaking of hard to stop, Olivet has yet to be held under 40 points this season. Markwart said his team will have to stop the ground game to be successful.
"Olivet has the strongest running attack that we have seen since Belding," he said. "They have a very talented back that runs hard. Our defense has to control the running game. We need to be disciplined, patient and do our jobs. If we do this, we should give ourselves a chance."

Уолтер Гуд Фитч (; 28 февраля 1817—1892) — британский ботаник и ботанический иллюстратор.

Биография
Уолтер Гуд Фитч родился 28 февраля 1817 года в Глазго.

Фитч заинтересовался ботанической иллюстрацией под влиянием профессора Уильяма Гукера, компетентного ботанического иллюстратора, редактора журнала «Curtis's Botanical Magazine». Первая литография Фитча «Mimulus roseus»появилась в «Curtis's Botanical Magazine» в 1834 году, и вскоре он стал его единственным художником. В 1841 году Уильям Гукер стал директором Королевских ботанических садов в Кью и Фитч вместе с ним перебрался в Лондон. После 1841 года Фитч был единственным ботаническим иллюстратором всех официальных и неофициальных публикаций, изданных Ботаническими садами в Кью; он получал оплату персонально от Гукера. Для сохранения времени Фитч создавал изображения в технике литографии. Эти хромолитографии базировались на ботанических иллюстрациях, предоставленных Гукером и другими авторами.

Важными работами Фитча являются его иллюстрации к книге Уильяма Гукера «A century of orchidaceous plants» (1849), и «A Monograph of Odontoglossum» Джеймса Бэйтмана (1864-74). Он также создал около 500 иллюстраций для «Icones Plantarum».Гукера (1836-76) и 4 литографические пластины к монографии «Victoria Regia». Последняя работа получила критическое признание в журнале «Athenaeum», «они точны и они прекрасны»..

Также Фитч иллюстрировал «Handbook of the British Flora» Джорджа Бентама (1858, следующее издание под редакцией Джозеф Долтон Гукера).
Когда Дж. Д.Гукер вернулся из своего путешествия по Индии, Фитч создал литографии эскизов Гукера для его книги «Rhododendrons of Sikkim Himalaya» (1849-51) и из рисунков индийских художников для издания «Illustrations of Himalayan Plants» (1855). Он также создал иллюстрации для книги Гукера-младшего «The Botany of the Antarctic Voyage», которая состояла из трех томов описаний образцов флоры Антарктики, Новой Зеландии и Тасмании, собранных во время экспедиции в 1839—1843 годах.

В 1877 году из-за спора с Джозефом Гукером по оплате Фитч оставил работу иллюстратора в «Curtis's Botanical Magazine» и Ботанических садах в Кью. Однако он остался активным как ботанический художник до 1888 года. В этот период он работал над иллюстрациями к «Monograph of the Genus Lilium» Генри Джона Элвиса (1877-80). В 1857 году Уолтер Фитч стал членом Лондонского Линнеевского общества. Его слава как ботанического иллюстратора была такой, что в некрологе, напечатанном в журнале «Nature» было заявлено «… его репутация была настолько высокой и настолько широко распространена, что здесь больше нечего сказать».

Уолтер Гуд Фитч умер в 1892 году в Кью (Лондон).

Felimida krohni is a species of colorful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Chromodorididae. This species occurs in European waters (from France to the Canary Islands) and in the Mediterranean Sea (Greece). The specific name krohni was in honour of Russian zoologist August David Krohn.

Description
This nudibranch can reach a maximum length of  but a more normal adult size is . The colouring is quite variable; the basic colour is pink, mauve or purple with an iridescent border of pale blue or mauve and an outer border of yellow. The dorsal surface bears three longitudinal, white or yellow lines, sometimes continuous and sometimes interrupted and usually slightly raised. These unite at the posterior end near where the purple branchial plumes project from the surface forming a ring around the anus. There is often a pattern of yellow spots between the lines. At the anterior end, the rhinophores are deep purple and lamellar, with 12 to 20 gills. Both rhinophores and branchial plumes can be retracted if the animal is disturbed.

Distribution
Felimida krohni is native to the eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. In the Atlantic Ocean its range extends from the British Isles as far south as Cape Verde. It feeds on sponges and is to be found in habitats where suitable sponges grow, at depths ranging from .

Ecology
Felimida krohni feeds on sponges in the genus Ircinia, or sometimes on the crumb-of-bread sponge (Hymeniacidon sanguinea), grinding off fragments with its radula; the bright colours and conspicuous appearance of these nudibranchs comes from the pigments and toxins they sequester from the sponge tissues, and indicate to potential predators that they are distasteful, an example of aposematism. Nudibranchs are hermaphrodites, having a set of both male and female reproductive organs. A pair will line up with their right sides adjacent, and each pass a spermatophore (bundle of sperm) to the other. The eggs are laid in a gelatinous spiral on the substrate, some time between April and September. The larvae are planktonic.

Just thought I would share a few photos from my time at The Lab Event last weekend. I'm not anywhere close to being a bride, but I still had a pretty good time getting all fancied up in Sarah Seven gowns and trying every flavor of wedding cake imaginable. If you're hungry for more, there are a couple of snapshots from the event on Instagram too.
beautiful shots! You looked great!
looks like such a fun event and you rocked the runway!!

People would say. 'Girls don't play hockey, girls don't skate,' I would say 'Watch this'.
In the winter of 2016 /17, the NGO www.freetorun.com started a very unique project in Bamyan, a town located in the foothills of the Hindu Kush Mountains, in Afghanistan. In partnership with the Canadian Embassy in Afghanistan and the Conservation Organisation for Afghan Mountain Areas (COAM), they facilitated the construction of a new ice skating rink, the very first one in all of Afghanistan.
International ice skating coach, Britt Das, was flown into the country for a few weeks in February so Afghan participants could experience the joys of ice skating. The project was aimed at young women (ages 10-25) from the region, but participants from other regions were also flown in to take part in a special Winter Sports Week.
I had met Taylor in the fall of 2016 when I ran the 2nd Marathon of Afghanistan in Bamyan and with the success of the ice skating initiative, Taylor approached me to see if I would fund raise for the re-installation of the ice rink and support the Winter Sports Week in 2017 / 18. My Annual December 31st Run / Walk fund raiser has been going since 2010 and last year we supported the first ever kayak and camping expedient for Afghan women and girls to the Panjshir valley.
So, on December 31st 2017, the 8th Annual Run / Walk took place at the Spray Lake Sawmills Family Sport Centre in Cochrane, Alberta. The temperature hit -48C and a total of 60 hardy souls came out that day and ran / walked distances of 2 km up to 50 km. In total over $6,000 were raised and the ice rink and Winter Sports Week became a reality.
In early March, Taylor sent me an email and told me that re-installation of the ice rink and Winter Sports Week had been a huge success. The coach they had hired, not only was an ice skating instructor but also had 16 years of experience in ice hockey. He donated sticks and pucks and introduced hockey basics and puck handling on the ice to the women an girls.
So there you have it. The women and girls in Bamyan, Afghanistan have 8 hockey sticks. I think I know what my 2018, 9th Annual December 31st Run / Walk will be fund raising for.
According to an article on the Human Resources Director website, (May2014) the average working Canadian spends 1,702 hours at work per year. That's a lot of time. In fact, it's probably more than the time spent with your family or closest friends.
When you think about it, if you spend that much time with your work colleagues, its little wonder that you build up close relationships. We've all had that person who we usually spend our coffee and lunch breaks with, who we tend to sit next to at meetings, and share details of our out –of-work activities with, like what we did at the weekend etc.
So, what happens if one of your closest working buddies decides to leave?
It is a question addressed in an article I found whilst browsing through an old copy of Rotarian magazine (February 2016). In it, Steve Almond describes a situation where he had an unpleasant encounter with his best friend, a guy whom he had worked with for years and who was also his editor and mentor. During a business meeting the person directed a harsh diatribe at Almond, who couldn't understand why this so-called friend was trying to humiliate him. It was totally unprovoked and out of character.
Our colleagues can become close friends and confidents. They come to know all our little foibles and idiosyncrasies and we get to understand theirs. Not only will they be able to understand the pressures you face at work, but they will know about your family and might be aware of problems you may have in your personal life and be a shoulder to cry on.
Is it any wonder then that, if they should leave, they will be terribly missed? You may be required to step into their position or take on an extra workload. You will most likely have to adapt to working with their replacement. This is a time of significant change. But, bear in mind it's not only for you, but for them as well. If their decision to leave is sudden and they had not made you aware, it can be even more upsetting. Try to remember, there is obviously a reason as to why your friend has decided to leave. It may be something beyond their control.
Whatever the reason, whether it be due to personal circumstances, a promotion or they need a challenge, be supportive. If congratulations are in order, make sure you show that you are happy for them. If they are not moving away, make a firm commitment to stay in touch. Make a date to meet for lunch, in the near future. If they are going to a new job, this is a stressful time for them, too. Even retirement, despite something most people look forward to, can produce its own challenges.
Try to stay positive. This, in some ways, is a new beginning for you, too. It may be an opportunity to make a new friend, spend more time with other colleagues and get to know them better. With a new person coming in, your experience will be valuable to them and your team. It might even make you think about your circumstances and ask yourself if you might be ready for a change.
There is no guarantee that the people we connect with so well at work are always going to be there. Just enjoy their friendship, but as all things in life, be prepared to adapt if the situation should change.
Be glad of your friendship, make an effort to maintain it and know that your friend is going to miss you, too!
If I asked you to close your eyes and think of an umbrella, I wouldn't know what colour that umbrella might be, but I'm pretty sure I could describe the basic design.
I was fascinated, therefore, to learn that a company, in the Netherlands, has come up with a completely new design for the umbrella. It was developed by Dutch company Senz, founded by former students of Delft University. They wanted to make an umbrella that was storm and windproof.
The new umbrella is weirdly angled, with one shorter side and one longer one connected at a 135-degree angle. The shorter end is the front, and the longer part is the tail. The designer, Gerwin Hoogendoorn says that the umbrella works so well because it mimics the aerodynamic shape of a stealth bomber.
Many of us will have experienced trying to open an umbrella, on a windy day only to have it turn inside out and the Senz model solves that problem, too. Also, there's less fabric to wrap up, so the umbrella travels surprisingly well. The spokes are reinforced, and the stem is quite short, which eases the strain on your wrist and Senz claims it can handle 100kmh winds. Apparently, it's become very popular, in Holland.
When you consider that the Encyclopédie Méthodique mentions metal ribs at the end of the eighteenth century, and they were also on sale in London during the 1780s it would appear that time for a re-design was way overdue. This got me wondering about things, in general, that might benefit from an overhaul. Could there be a better design for a tea cup, a sunshade, a barbecue, a space rocket?
The possibilities are infinite. We may be frustrated by a teapot that dribbles or a can opener that's awkward to operate, but, even though we could find something more efficient already on the market, sometimes it's just easier to accept things the way they are, if they appear to be working adequately enough.
Then I started thinking about less tangible things. What about the space we occupy, both at home and at work, could the way we use it benefit from a re-design. Do you park your vehicle on the road because your garage is full of "stuff" and have to waste precious time, in winter, de-icing it? Are your kitchen work tops cluttered because you have items in the cupboards that you might only get out at Christmas or Thanksgiving? It might be an idea to box them up and put them in the attic or under the bed.
The same thing could be said about our work spaces. Have you used those spaces in the same way for years? Do you have space that's not being used? Would employees benefit from having things moved around? Is that photocopying machine easily accessible for everyone? Are employees eating lunch at their desks?
Do you really need an extra board room that's only used for a few hours a week, when there's not enough space for employees to enjoy their lunch in comfort? Then there's the issue of how we use our time. Could that also benefit from an overhaul? Think about the way meetings are formatted. Does the way annual reviews are conducted need reformatting?
How about the forms we are required to complete. Are all those questions telling us anything we don't already know? Are we duplicating too much information? Do we have too many employees working on a task when their time would be better used elsewhere? Perhaps the design of your website could benefit from an update. Does your company logo look dated? The questions are endless.
Just as Senz has created a new design for the umbrella, redesigning or overhauling aspects of your home or working life may be solving a variety of issues that affect the way you or your business operate. You might already have a very efficient work space. You may have already decluttered your home. You may be super-efficient at managing your time and not feel that anything in your life needs changing. But, if you are a leader, in business, take a moment to look around and make sure it's not only working for you but your colleagues and employees too.
You may not feel the need to redesign anything. Everything may appear to be working well and efficiently, but it doesn't hurt to check.
All the tools, techniques and technology in the world are nothing without the head, heart and hands to use them wisely, kindly and mindfully.
I recently read a quote by Henry David Thoreau that got me thinking. Not long after, I heard a new word that intrigued me and the very next day, I read an article that I found disturbing. Coincidentally, they all appeared to be inter-related, so I decided to delve a little further in to all of them and see if there was a feasible connection.
The quote came from Henry David Thoreau, an American from Concord, Massachusetts, who was, amongst other things, an essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist and historian. He was born on July 12, 1817 and died on May 6, 1862.
The line comes from his book"Walden", in which he states: "Men have become the tools of their tools." I went on to read several articles on what this probably means to us today and many contributors relate it to our reliance on the use of modern technology.
But, bearing in mind when Thoreau wrote this I wondered how that could be the case and so I tracked down the rest of the quote and it reads: "Money is not required to buy one necessity of the soul. Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind." I feel that Thoreau was writing about society's want of material things, which would have been household items or the latest in agricultural tools i.e. the latest technology of the time.
With this in mind, I sought out articles about the quote and found brown7915's Blog posted on March 20th. 2013, in which the author writes: "Thoreau was part of the transcendental movement which took place between the years of 1830-1860. During this time a transcendental thought was based on philosophy, contemplation, and the discovery of one's internal spirit. Transcendental thinkers despised consumerism, along with materialism.
It's interesting to note that Thoreau should make the statement when he did, as the industrial revolution was still happening. The transcendental time was right after the invention of the cotton gin. Also, telegraphs, sewing machines, mass-produced muskets, interchangeable sewing machine parts, and new uses for rubber occurred during this time period.
If we think about the quote in respect to current lifestyles, it's easy to see why many people relate it to our use of modern technology. Perhaps Thoreau became disillusioned by the rate at which things were changing, people's preoccupation with these modern trends and their loss of appreciation for a more natural world.
In response to the blog, Susan Reynolds, Teacher, StoryTeller at ABC Legacy responded on June15th 2017 by saying: "Instead of asking what this quote meant to Thoreau, I answer what it means to us today, especially for our teens. If this tool is a digital device in the times of digital dependence and potential digital addiction, we are at risk of becoming the tools of our tools, then the tools can manage us, rather than being a tool that we manage.
It was then that I came a across the word phubbing.
Apparently, it is a term coined as part of a campaign by Macquarie Dictionary to describe the habit of snubbing someone in favour of a mobile phone. In May 2012, the advertising agency behind the campaign, McCann, had invited a number of lexicographers, authors, and poets to coin a neologism to describe the behaviour.
Phub - verb (used with object), phubbed, phubbing.
to ignore (a person or one's surroundings) when in a social situationby busying oneself with a phone or other mobile device: Hey, are you phubbing me?
In my opinion, it's a sad, if not disturbing sign of the times that it was deemed necessary to actually invent a word to describe this antisocial behaviour.
It reveals that, in a recent study: "Despite parents insisting that 11 is the "ideal" age for children to have a phone, 25 per cent of children aged six and under already have their own mobile and nearly half of these spend up to 21 hours per week on their devices. More than three quarters of parents paid up to £500 for their child's first phone with two-thirds admitting they don't cap the monthly spend.
According to the poll: "Researchers also found eight in 10 parents don't limit the amount of time children spend on their phones while 75 per cent don't disable the data function so their children are only able to call and text. SmartPhones have become the most important piece of technology we own, connecting us with friends, keeping us updated on the world around us, and letting us capture our biggest moments," said Liam Howley of musicMagpie which conducted the research.
There is no denying that technology is becoming more and more sophisticated at a rate we could never have imagined, twenty years ago. We must make an effort and take steps to safeguard the future generation against becoming ill-equipped to relate on a personal level and too dependent on technology.
There is a place for smart phones, computers, computer games etc. But, we have a responsibility to encourage them to develop all ways in which to communicate and keep active.

Полігональна (багатокутна) нарізка — один з видів нарізки в каналі ствола вогнепальної зброї.

Спочатку, у варіанті, запропонованому в середині 19 століття англійцем Вітвортом, полігональна нарізка дійсно виглядала в перерізі як правильний багатокутник (як правило, шестикутник). Канал ствола, таким чином, являв скручену призму. Кулі (і, в разі артилерії, снаряди) до такого ствола теж пропонувалося робити в формі скрученої призми. Через дорожнечу у виробництві, така нарізка поширення не отримала. Слід зазначити, що на Близькому Сході задовго до Вітворта мали певне поширення гвинтівки з трикутним перетином каналу ствола (в тому числі, часто згадуються козацькі «тройці»), які стріляли трикутними кулями і по суті були саме зброєю з полігональної нарізкою ствола.

В даний час розуміння полігональної нарізки більш широко, під нею розуміють по суті будь-який ствол, який не має в своєму каналі чітко виділених полів і нарізів, замість чого переходи між ними згладжені, так, що в перерізі канал ствола нагадує багатокутник з округленими кутами. Кулі для такого ствола звичайні, круглі, а при пострілі вони деформуються згідно з формою його каналу. Виробництво таких стволів сьогодні ведеться досить швидким і дешевим способом ротаційного кування, що робить його економічно доцільним.

Найбільшого поширення набули стволи з шестикутною нарізкою. В даний час така нарізка ствола застосована в пістолеті Desert Eagle.

Вважається, що полігональна нарізка забезпечує кращу обтюрацію порохових газів, більшу початкову швидкість кулі (через менший опір її руху), точніший напрям польоту кулі, менше забруднення ствола.

Nature Explorers Camp is all about getting your child outside to explore nature. The Basecamp is located at BREC's Independence Activity Building next to the Goodwood Library. From there, campers will set out to different BREC parks and locations throughout the parish to learn new things and enjoy the great outdoors. Activities will include themed outdoor games, hiking, canoeing, crafts and experiments. Camp field trips will include locations like Blackwater Conservation Area and Louisiana State Parks.
This year we are offering a CIT program so that your young adult can learn about becoming a natural resource professional while getting job training and experience. Additionally, we are offering NEW Expedition weeks for campers looking to take their explorations to the next level. This camp will be a great way for your child to learn new things while enjoying the parish's natural resources.
This week teens will take their nature interests to the next level. We will cover leadership skills, education program planning, natural resource and science careers and how to prepare for them and teach CIT's how to assist with Nature Explorers camp. Once completing this week, teens have the option of assisting with camp throughout the summer for additional experience.
During these sessions, we will break down the natural world through exploration and play. Campers will learn about nature's functions and the different ecosystems and the organisms within them. They will adventure into swamps, forests and rivers; hiking, splashing and investigating the who, what and how of local habitats. No bug, fish, bird or fungus is off-limits in this wild exploration of native Louisiana Ecosystems.
Ever wonder what it would be like to rough it in the wild? Or how explorers and Native Americans survived living off the land? This week we look at how indigenous cultures and early settlers interacted with the natural landscape and teach campers some of their survival techniques. Follow us into the wilderness where we will paddle, fish, hike and explore what it would be like to survive in the wild.
Resurrecting frogs, invisible insects, immortal jellyfish, supersonic shrimp, glowing sharks? The world is full of truly fantastic beasts and these are only the ones we know about. Join us this week as we look at the cool, creepy, amazing, magical world of beasts. We will take a close look at the spell-binding creatures that have been found on earth and even investigate the cryptid beasts of lore and legend that we are still in search of.
What's small and crawls and is fun to hunt for? Bugs! Join us for a week focused on the insect world where we will be digging in the dirt and swinging nets through the air in our search for bugs. We will explore sampling techniques and spend a moment in their buzzing, flying, crawling world as we learn all about the lives of insects and spiders.

In case you can't tell, it's Scooby-Doo week here on MyKidsGuide! I have to tell you, I'm excited because Scooby has always been one of my favorite cartoons. In fact, I started buying my son Scooby-Doo movies for kids when he was a toddler.
Now, I think he has every single movie and cartoon incarnation that has ever come out. There are dozens of them, making it hard to decide where to start. I've come up with what I think are the top 5 the essential Scooby-Doo movies for kids collection. Check it out! Affiliate links are included. We also have suggestions for great Scooby-Doo toys for kids!
Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!: Complete Series : This is where it all started, folks, back before I was even born. The Complete "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" series is a must-have for any Scooby-Doo movies for kids collection! I love that it comes in a Mystery Van! If you;re going to start building a collection, might as well start big with this one!
The Best of the New Scooby-Doo Movies : Remember when Scooby and the gang met the Harlem Globetrotters? How about Batman & Robin? This collection of 15 episodes feature the best Scooby-Doo movies for kids during the early years, when "movie" meant a double episode. They're shorter than the average movie of today, yes, but they're still some of the most entertaining Scooby double-episodes ever made.
What's New Scooby-Doo: Complete Seasons 1-3 : Scooby-Doo has been reincarnated into numerous different versions of the TV show over the years, but this is my son's favorite. It's updated for his generation, complete with awesome alternative music soundtracks. It's a bit edgier than we're used to. Fred is more of a goof ball than the smart guy I grew up with, but it's such a fun version.
Scooby Doo: Movie : I cannot even tell you how excited I was when they came out with the first live-action Scooby-Doo movie! Every actor in it was just the perfect choice for their character, especially Matt Lillard as Shaggy. I was never a fan of Scrappy, so I absolutely loved how they made him the surprise bad guy! Seriously, did anyone like Scrappy?
Scooby-Doo and the Loch Ness Monster : With so many Scooby-Doo movies for kids, what made me choose this one as the final item in your essential collection? Well, I thought about all the movies we have, then thought about which of them my son wanted to watch the most often. This one was in constant rotation, so it must have something that appeals to kids! I love the Scottish theme, and I think it's a cool way to teach kids about geography.
What is your favorite Scooby-Doo movie or version of the TV show?
I had a roommate who was so into scooby doo. could never get into this cartoon myself.
This brought back memories, I absolutely love Scooby Doo!
So cute! My favorite was the version that aired when I was a kid in the '80s. I used to watch that when I was really little.
That is a fabulous collection. I grew up watching Scooby Doo and love them!
