Our department hosts numerous events during the school year, including rehearsals, concerts, master classes and shows.
SJU Theatre Company
The SJU Theatre Company is the premier theatre producing organization at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia. It has produced plays and musicals on campus for over 80 years, performed in Bluett Theatre, a 440-seat proscenium theatre on the campus.
The SJU Theatre Company is supported by the Department of Music, Theatre and Film, which offers music, acting, directing and film production courses, and the Department of English, which offers dramaturgy, playwriting, and dramatic literature courses. The SJU Theatre Company also offers the Frank Olley Memorial Scholarship for students who participate in two productions each academic year, as a performer, musician or crew member.
Composers and Coders: Twin Brothers Combined Their Passions on Hawk Hill: Identical twin brothers Dylan Dinh '20 and Dustin Dinh '20, who double-majored in computer science and music at Saint Joseph's, combined their passion for coding and playing the violin to create a video game that takes place in a fantasy world filled with magic, witches, wizards and monsters. The video game, which includes music that Dylan and Dustin composed themselves, was part of their capstone project prior to graduation.
SJU Theatre Company Performs for Drive-In Audience: On Friday, March 26, 2021, the SJU Theatre Company hosted its debut performance of "Jesus Christ Superstar" on an outdoor stage for a drive-in audience. The Saint Joseph's University performers were masked and had their own microphones, and the music was broadcast to each car through an FM radio station.
Senior Recitals in Music, Voice and Theatre Are Going Virtual: For Saint Joseph's music, voice and theatre students, four years of study and dedication to their craft typically culminates in performing a senior recital live for the University community. When classes moved online due to the coronavirus pandemic, Suzanne Sorkin, Ph.D., associate professor and chair of the Department of Music, Theatre and Film looked for a creative way to ensure that graduating seniors would still have a recital experience. As a result of her efforts, recitals now take place via live stream.
A Look Behind SJU Professor's Award-Winning Film 'Mirrors': Michael Wellenreiter, M.F.A., has been racking up awards for his sci-fi film about World War III, and the techniques he learned while making the movie have informed his classroom lessons.
My professors in the music department and everyone I worked with in Campus Ministry always fostered my passions. They also gave me endless opportunities and encouraged me to pursue church music as a long-term career."

Dictionary > Osteichthyes
A taxonomic superclass of a diverse group of fish that have skeletons composed primarily of bone tissue
Osteichthyes is taxonomic superclass of the phylum Chordata (chordates) and includes groups of fish that have skeletons mainly composed of bone tissues. Chordates are primarily characterized by having a notochord, dorsal hollow nerve cord, muscular post anal tail, and pharyngeal slits for at least some period of the life cycle of an animal. The phylum Chordata has three subphyla: Vertebrata (vertebrates), Tunicata (tunicates), and Cephalochordata (cephalochordates). The vertebrates include various animal groups such as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. A fish pertains to any gill-bearing animals lacking limbs with digits. Osteichthyes (bony fish) is one of the taxonomic superclasses of fish. The others are chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish) and Agnatha (jawless fish).
Osteichthyes includes the ray-finned fish (Actinopterygii) and lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii). The bony fish group is paraphyletic with land vertebrates, and in some classification schemes the tetrapods are considered to be members of the osteichthyes for this reason.
Most bony fish belong to the Actinopterygii. There are only eight living species of lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) including the lungfish and coelacanths. Some species of lobe-finned fish have jointed bones. There are over 29,000 species that belong to superclass Osteichthyes, which make them the largest class of vertebrates in existence today.
Word origin: Greek ὀστέον (ostéon, "bone") + ἰχθῡ́ς (ikhthū́s, "fish")

Do you know anyone who has ever purchased a high-priced ticket-item from any of the vending machines at Dallas Fort-Worth (DFW) international airport?
If your answer was "no", you do now.
This is a little story of how I got sunk at DFW.
Date: Wednesday, May 5, 2010.
As the layover was 5 hours to the overnight flight to Santiago, Chile, I was going to head out to the Apple Store at nearby Southlake Town Square, only a 20-minute taxi ride from DFW. I was all primed and ready, except I lamed out and didn't feel like forking over the cash for a taxi.
Instead, I exercised what passed for procrastination by taking the Skylink train over to Terminal A, grabbing a bite to eat, and getting a shower in the AAdmirals Lounge. After checking e-mail over a cup of coffee, I left the Lounge to make my way to one of the Skylink stations to return to Terminal D, where naturally, I passed by one of the diabolical vending machines.
This is where I surrendered, and somewhat meekly at that.
You know how this works, right?
Normally, you'd walk away, feeling a little self-conscious about who in their right mind would buy an iPod, noise-reducing headphones, or a Canon point-and-shoot camera from a vending machine in an airport.
But wait! You're thinking about how simple it would be, if only you would just whip out the debit- or credit-card, and within seconds, you would have your prize in your grubby little paws.
At the vending machine, there's a touch-screen to see what is available. Prices for Apple products are the same as those found at the the company website or in a brick-and-mortar Apple store. Oh and look, your selection comes with a short description, illustrated in loving detail why your selection would be a useful and powerful tool in your technological arsenal.
But alas, the customer need not be fearful. After your choice of bank-card is swiped and the transaction is duly approved, a robot arm sweeps up and out of its hidden parking slot, reaches for and holds onto your purchase, and gently places the product in the retrieval tray at the bottom of the machine.
In less than one minute, you have in one hand a brand new "chocolate bar", and in the other hand, a printed record of your folly … er .. transaction. It is dangerously easy, as that extraordinary "chocolate bar" is about two hundred times more expensive than your average candy-bar.
You could think that it might not really be about the product. It might in fact be about the process, which by this point a small crowd had gathered behind me to witness my use of the vending machine, all of them no doubt silently asking themselves : who in their right mind would buy anything from one of these vending machines?
There are no iPads. Yet.

I Tried IKEA's New Plant-Based Meat and It Cooks Up Just Like Ground Beef
It's made primarily from pea protein.
Rochelle Bilow
Rochelle Bilow is a graduate of the French Culinary Institute, and the former social media manager at Bon Appétit and Cooking Light magazines. She has also worked as a cook on a small farm in Central New York and a Michelin-starred restaurant in New York City. Her first book, a food and farming memoir titled The Call of the Farm, was published in 2014. Her second book, a romance novel set in Scotland, will be published in February 2023.
The Spruce Eats / Rochelle Bilow
Whether you're a vegan, an omnivore, or swear by steak, it's impossible not to notice the rise in plant-based grocery products. This new wave of veggie-friendly foods goes beyond the lentils and tofu of yore—today's vegan foods are sophisticated concoctions, made to look, taste, and even "behave" like meat.
You may be familiar with meat-free patties like the Beyond Burger and the Impossible Burger. These two brands have big-time name recognition, with many restaurants across the country using them in veggie-approved menu items. (Burger King, for example, offers an Impossible Whopper, and you can now get a Beyond breakfast sammie at Dunkin').
But with many of us eating the majority of our meals at home, there's been a shift away from ready-made patties and with all the fixin's. Now, brands are offering faux meat products that behave just like ground beef, pork, or chicken, so we can whip up vegetarian chilis, tacos, and meatballs in our own kitchens. And Beyond and Impossible aren't the only players in the game: Even IKEA, the maker of some of the most famous meatballs in the world, is now offering a plant-based meat alternative for home cooking.
Here's What You Need to Know about Världsklok
I'm an omnivore who loves veggies, so I couldn't wait to try IKEA's Världsklok (translated to "World-wise," the Världsklok is meant to taste and cook up like ground beef). I scored a couple of bags, which are sold in IKEA's frozen foods section for $9.99, and put them to the test.
I'd previously tried IKEA's ready-made plant-based meatballs—called Huvudroll—and loved them. The pre-made meatballs are super savory, with a sweet undertone, thanks to oats and apples in the mix. In contrast, the Världsklok has a more neutral flavor palate, which makes it perfect for adding to your own recipes. There's an impressive amount of protein in each serving—11 grams of pea-based protein for 4 ounces—and a modest amount of sodium. (I've tried frozen foods with a lot more than 450 milligrams per serving.) But how does it taste? And is it easy to cook with? I did some experiments with the 1.6-pound bag to find out.
My Review of IKEA's New Plant-Based Meat
I split the package into two separate portions, so I could sauté half and use the other half for burger patties. I'll cut to the chase: Världsklok tastes really delicious. It's savory, and has a distinctly meaty texture. Världsklok is also satisfyingly hearty however you cook it. In my opinion, it performs best as burgers, meatballs, and patties. The binding agents in the ingredients help it stick together well, so you won't experience any crumbling, whether you sear, grill, or roast your dinner.
On the flip side, because it was so adhesive, I found it sticking to my wooden spoon as I sautéed my batch of crumbles for tacos. I did have to use a helper spoon to scrape off the sticky bits, which wasn't a dealbreaker—but also wasn't something I experience when sautéeing beef. It did brown beautifully, though, which I consider to be one of the most important factors in cooking ground meat on the stovetop.
Would I use the Världsklok again? Absolutely. In fact, it's the first item on my IKEA wish list.

Caladan Oceanic Completes First Mapping of Key Deep-Sea Features in Indian Ocean
Victor Vescovo and team map an area the size of Rhode Island and document previously undocumented seamount near Seychelles
DALLAS (April 09, 2020) – After making the first manned dive to the deepest point in the Red Sea, investor and explorer Victor Vescovo's Caladan Oceanic team conducted the first-ever mapping of the Amirante Trench near Seychelles. The Amirante Trench is approximately 610 km long and 30 km wide. The oceanography of the trench has been highly debated among geologists and geophysicists since the late 1970s. While early theories suggested the trench formed through traditional subduction methods, more modern assessments argue that the evolution of the Amirante Trench is more complicated and tied to the separation of India and the Seychelles.
"Over 90% of the seafloor remains unexplored, and with our unique sonar and submersible assets, we are trying to help map the deepest areas that remain a mystery," Vescovo commented. "We are doing all of this mapping pro bono for the greater scientific good, and we will be donating this and other data to the GEBCO 2030 mapping initiative."
The Amirante Trench was mapped over three days from March 26 to March 29, 2020. Two passes about five kilometers apart were collected along the full shape of the trench to produce a full-coverage map. These data sets, along with 14,830 square kilometers of transit data (to and from the trench), were collected within the Seychelles EEZ in collaboration with the Government of Seychelles, represented by the Ministry of Environment, Energy and Climate Change. Except for a large – and previously undocumented – seamount on the southern end, the trench is wide and featureless with a very small, gentle slope (less than one degree) running north to south.
"These data have shown the previously unknown topography of the Amirante Trench in surprising detail," said marine geologist Heather Stewart. "A previously unknown seamount was discovered in the southernmost part of the trench. [It's] unbelievable that this underwater mountain was previously undiscovered, considering it is over 1000 meters high. The newly discovered 'Amirante Seamount' adds to this global database of knowledge, and further study will reveal the geodiversity and biodiversity it hosts."
"The Amirante Trench is a really interesting deep-sea topographic depression. It has all the hallmarks of a deep subduction trench, but is not," said lead scientist Dr. Alan Jamieson. "As the deep Indian Ocean is often lacking in very high-resolution mapping, work like what has just been done on the Pressure Drop is incredibly important in understanding what the seafloor looks like now, how it got to be like that, and the geological processes that are underpinning it. Any new maps of the deep Indian Ocean are great and long overdue. Compared to the satellite-derived maps, our new echosounder's 3D digital renderings are like Caravaggio going back to redraw a Monet."
For the next – and last – phase of the 2020 expeditions, Caladan Oceanic will travel to Guam for multiple dives around the western edge of the famed "Ring of Fire" in the Pacific Ocean. The Caladan crew plans to revisit the bottom of Challenger Deep up to six times for scientific mapping purposes, as well as dive in never-before-visited deep areas in the northern part of the Mariana Trench. In July, they hope to explore the seafloor off Samar Island, Philippines, and execute what could become the deepest wreck dive in history.

Yes, I am a Christian and soon I will be joining the United Methodist Church (UMC) and will be joining the congregation at Broadway United Methodist Church in Council Bluffs, Iowa. With that said, I believe that God has a plan for my life, my politics, and my health. I believe that he put me on this journey for a reason. I better understand why I am going on this path and that it is with his guidance. I believe that his reason for putting me on this journey because he wants me to encourage others to stand up, speak out, and take care of each other who has less then us.
I believe that it was God's plan for me to go through so many challenges to make me stronger. I believe that it was him who gave me the power to be able to speak out for myself. Which, lead to me speaking out against the discrimination, harassment, and bullying I faced in high school over my gender identity, and that led to me re-starting the Gay Straight Alliance at my high school which is still thriving. I believe it was him who gave me the strength to start Forward Equality back in 2010.
I believe that it was God's plan for me not to get my kidney transplant at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) Nebraska Medical Center so that I would go to the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics (UIHC) and meet the great people of Council Bluffs, Iowa. In doing this, I got the wonderful opportunity to work (non-paid) on the Barack Obama re-election campaign, which taught me a lot in political campaigning. This created the opportunity for me to meet some truly amazing people in Council Bluffs, including Michele Lendt, Nancy Flores, Diane, Bob, Tom Dean, Connie Lairmore, Sue Hendricks, Linda Nelson, Chad Hannan, Melissa Head, Mike Gronstal, Leonard Boswell and many more. Living in Council Bluffs, gave me many great opportunities to learn and expand my knowledge to better work for my political goals of workers' rights, healthcare for all, civil rights, adoption for all families, and safe schools.
I believe he gave me the courage to continue to fight for my life and to keep my head up while dealing with my illness, Cystinosis and all the crap it throws at me. I believe he is the reason my family had me participate in the clinical trial at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland with Dr. William A. Gahl. That trial has lead to better understanding of the effects of Cystinosis and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approving the Cysteaminie eye drops which help reduce the formation of crystals on the corneas of my eyes. He gave me strength to keep fighting when I went into kidney failure and when things were quite difficult. He gave me the strength to not give up when it seemed hopeless. He continues to give me the strength to stay in the clinical trial at the NIH and help make lives better for future generations of kids with Cystinosis.
I believe it was God's plan that Jon von Kampen donate his kidney to me. I believe this because how close of a match he was and because of how great my body has accepted his kidney. Here are my most recent lab results: Platelet Count 184, WBC (White Blood Cell) 7.2, Hemoglobin 13.7, Creatinine 0.8, BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) 10, CO2 23, Potassium 3.8. I am doing so well that the U of Iowa transplant team has lowed my dose of anti-rejection medications and has even cut one of my medications out of my regime.
I believe it was God's plan to have me work to end oppression and stand up for those who have less then others. I believe it is his hand that leads me down the road into my field of politics, and my passion for medicine and wishing to help others with illnesses find the greatest healthcare professionals to help them.
With that said, I feel grateful to the Pottawatomie County Democratic Chair Linda Nelson for inviting me to speak at the Pott. County Women's Dem lunch on December 2nd to speak about my story, my illness, and Forward Equality.
Next Save Paige's Life and Get Tested!

PRESS WATCH: "I learned a lot off Steve Ogrizovic and I can't speak highly enough of him" - Ryan Allsop
The 22-year old has thanked the City legend for his time and experience during the Walsall-born stopper's time at the club...
Ryan Allsop spoke to the Coventry Telegraph after his last game for the Sky Blues on Saturday - here is what the stopper had to say...
All content in Press Watch stories is speculation reproduced from print and online media and does not necessarily represent the position or intentions of Coventry City.
Ryan Allsop told the Coventry Telegraph that he has enjoyed his time with Coventry City as he returned to his parent club.
The 22 year-old featured 27 times for the Sky Blues during his loan spell after joining the club in July.
The stopper also revealed he wanted to return to Bournemouth in order to earn a new contract as he has six months left on his current Cherries deal.
"I've really enjoyed my time with the club," Allsop said.
"I learned a lot off Oggy and I can't speak highly enough of him and Lee Burge.
"I think it has been good for me to play games at Coventry, to help me progress.
"Obviously I am still a young goalkeeper and still learning the game but at the same time I think I need to go back to Bournemouth and try to progress there.
"They are doing really well at the moment and I think I need to get in under the manager's nose there and try to show him what I can do. I am out of contract in the summer so I've got six months left to show him how I have progressed.
"I spoke to Steve Ogrizovic and numerous people to get their advice about what's the best thing for me to do. It's been a tough decision and I haven't made it lightly, but I think it's the best thing for me at this moment in time."

A new analysis from the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs (OCPA) and Arduin, Laffer & Moore Econometics (ALME) makes a bold case for state policymakers to move toward a decade-long reduction of state income taxes, reaching abolition of the unpopular levy by the year 2022.
The study asserts, "Oklahoma can significantly increase its economic competitiveness by phasing out its personal income tax." The analysis is certain to provoke controversy and conversation "under the dome" at the state Capitol, and throughout the government of Oklahoma.
Arguments favoring the glide path to abolition are based in assumptions about the role of government, taxation and economic activity.
In an executive summary of the ALME analysis, the writers reflect, "It used to be the case that the sole purpose of the tax code was to raise the necessary funds to run government. But in today's world taxes play many other roles, including redistributing income, rewarding favored industries, and punishing unfavorable behavior.
As CapitolBeatOK has reported, the Sooner State is doing well in certain analyses (including monthly unemployment rates and overall growth). A June 28 story on "The Eyes of the Beholders" detailed ways in which Oklahoma, traditionally one of the poorest states, is edging upward in varied measurements of economic dynamism. In sum, Oklahoma has a better outlook than most U.S. states because of its improved economic performance over recent years.
That story also distilled contrary arguments from the data, put forward by David Blatt of the Oklahoma Policy Institute.
In cooperation with economist Arthur Laffer, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) ranked Oklahoma seventh in economic performance and 14th in economic outlook, with first being the best and 50th being the worst. The rankings are detailed in "Rich States, Poor States: ALEC-Laffer State Economic Competitive Index" released last summer. However, that research was completed before the state income tax rate dropped to 5.25 percent.
In order to reach the top tier of states in terms of economic growth and prospects, the authors contend the state needs to take additional steps, including phaseout of the state income tax. Authors detail varied performance benchmarks to make the case that over time (and notably in recent years) states without an income tax, including Texas, perform better than states with that tax.
"Data points" supporting the authors' contentions can be examined in several tables found within the study.
The new analysis was crafted by the econometrics group in collaboration with OCPA, Oklahoma's leading free market/limited government "think tank." A lead contributor to the study is Dr. Arthur Laffer, who spoke today (Tuesday, November 29) at the 55th annual joint meeting of the Downtown Oklahoma City Rotary, Lions and Kiwanis.
"When … I show … that to create wealth will increase the national income and that a large proportion of any increase in the national income will accrue to an Exchequer, amongst whose largest outgoings is the payment of incomes to those who are unemployed and whose receipts are a proportion of the income who are occupied, I hope the reader will feel, whether or not he thinks himself competent to criticize the argument in detail, that the answer is just what he would expect – that it agrees with the instinctive promptings of his common sense.
Two decades later, Kennedy's tax rate cuts were exceeded by the reductions achieved early in the presidency of Ronald Reagan.
In addition to his speech at the joint gathering of the city's largest civic organizations, Dr. Laffer was meeting this week with state officials and supporters of OCPA during his visit to Oklahoma City.
Laffer's partners in the ALME group are Wayne Winegarden and Donna Arduin. Winegarden is a well-known and respected economist. Arduin is former state budget director for California, Florida, New York and Michigan.

Isla Margarita is het grootste eiland van de deelstaat Nueva Esparta in Venezuela, gelegen in de Caraïben aan de noordoostkust van het land. De staat heeft twee kleinere eilanden: Coche en Cubagua. De hoofdstad is La Asunción en deze is gelegen in een riviervallei met dezelfde naam. Primaire industrieën zijn toerisme, visserij en bouw. Er wonen ongeveer 425.000 mensen op het eiland en de oppervlakte is 1150 km².

De grootste stad van het eiland is Porlamar, die bekendstaat als commercieel centrum en wemelt van winkels. De stad ligt dicht bij de tweede grootste plaats van het eiland, Pampatar. Het klimaat is zeer zonnig en droog, met temperaturen van 24 tot 37°C. Het eiland heeft vele stranden, van vrijwel verlaten tot zeer druk bezochte stranden. Playa El Agua in het noorden van het eiland is het populairste met 4 kilometer aan fijn zand. Het strand Playa El Yaque staat internationaal bekend als uitstekende locatie voor windsurfen.

In de 17e eeuw werden voor de kust oesterbanken gevonden. Het eiland was vermaard om zijn parels waaronder de beroemde grijze Saraparel. De oesterbanken rond dit eiland waren al in 1650 uitgeput. De oesters moeten tot de soort Pinctada imbricata oftewel Pinctada radiata hebben behoord.

With a degree in business management training, Pedro Sampaio is the second generation of Mazoni. Pedro, who already for 12 years is coordinating the company's destiny along with his dad, believes the footwear sector is "stimulating"..
Why did you decide to work at Mazoni?
I made the decision of initiating my professional activity at Mazoni, firstly because this is a family business, founded by my father, thus with the consequent need of succession in order to keep growing and evolving, but most of all because this was a unique opportunity for me, as a young graduate in business management training.
Allied to these motivations, was also the fact that the footwear industry is closely related to fashion, trends, collections, designs and colors, characteristics which contrast with other industries that have somewhat a common routine.
All of these circumstances make the footwear industry an extremely exciting work field.
What do you believe are the biggest challenges in this succession process, in which you most certainly can include yourself (and is becoming ever more common within the sector)?
Although there are some complexities that are felt in some realities of successions in family businesses, as far as I'm concerned, up to now I haven't felt major difficulties.
The succession process in Mazoni is beeing done gradually and softly. Primarily, because my father (Fernando Sampaio) is still young and has a lot of energy and vitality to keep leading the company's destiny for many years. His knowledge and experience, accumulated over decades working in this industry, are fundamental to problems solving that happen every day.
My biggest contribution is within the commercial department and where I assumed responsibility of making the company grow.
Above all, there is also a harmonious and well-defined family structure that reflects itself on the business dynamics. Nowadays, a lot of the important decisions are shared, which allows the companies' values and philosophies to live on and take part on projects and the company's future.
The new generation of entrepreneurs has the ability boost the sector at all levels.
From the point of view of academic background, this is the generation that's probably better prepared, which can mean that it has the necessary knowledge to respond to adversities, as well as recognize and seize the opportunities that the upcoming years may bring.
Nowadays, there a lot of challenges within the industry, since the processes digitization, the continuous production flexibilization and an increasing personalization of the product. Challenges that require strategic changes of business owners, both at commercial basis and productive/technical levels.
I believe the new generation has the required characteristics not only to continue the excellent work that was done by the previous generations on the development of our main competitive advantages, but also to continue to boost the Portuguese footwear from the qualitative, technological and design's points of view. The balanced approach of how we absorb all the knowledge of this successful generation and the implementation of ideas, technics and methodologies is perhaps the formula to keep demonstration the sector's vitality in the future.
In what way do you believe it's possible to evolve the footwear industry in the coming years?
In general, the Portuguese footwear industry has been investing in differentiating elements that makes it stand out from other countries. In my opinion, this sector's evolution will necessarily undergo an accentuation of these distinctive added values by increasingly focusing on the final consumer and the development of added-value products.
The project within the Industry 4.0 will have a major role on the companies' evolution. The technological advances and the connection to management systems will allow the companies to adapt their productive processes, enabling them to a greater product customization and customer proximity.
This technological appropriation in our factories will be crucial so we continue to be a benchmark in the sector on a global scale.
The emergence and development of brands and/or own label collections on the initiative of our companies will also allow the consolidation of the label "Made in Portugal" towards the goal of gaining a greater recognition and consequently increasing business opportunities.
Finally, the footwear industry must take vital steps to overcome the lack of workforce by taking action in attracting more people to work in this field, mainly youngsters, otherwise it may be strongly affected in the future.

In this blog we will discuss about difference between datareader and dataset in Ado.Net.
(1)-It is defined with multiple tables.
(2)-It is a disconnected architecture.
(3)-It can't be defined without DataAdapter.
(4)-Dataset is able to fetch record in bidirection.
(6)-It comes under disconnected architecture.
(7)-It is slower as compared to datareader.
(1)-It is a readonly and forward only data i.e Read-Only access.
(2)-You can access one table at a time .
(3)-It comes under connected architecture.
(4)-One of the most advantage is that it is much faster than dataadapter.
(5)-Using Datareader only one value can be accessed at a time from the database.
(6)-Here the data is retrieved based on the select statement .
(7)-We can't do DML operations through datareader.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - A high school art project helped students gain a new perspective by connecting them with people of the Islamic faith.
Fayetteville High School students in Ashley Grisso's advanced placement world history classes worked in groups of two or three. They interviewed Muslims in the community, then told their stories through art.
The students' work was on display recently at the University of Arkansas' Kittrell Art Gallery. Each piece of the "Putting a Face on Islam" exhibit was accompanied by a one-page artist statement about the work. Students and their subjects gathered one evening for a reception at the gallery.
"It's really great to be able to understand a person from a different culture, because you might see stuff on the news and read about stuff, but there's like, a person right there," Peter Herman, a Fayetteville High School junior, said to the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
Herman worked with classmates Robert Benafield and Grady Cape. They interviewed a man identified in the statement as only Amel. He was born and raised in the Comoro Islands, off the east coast of Africa. Amel is pursuing a master's degree in public health at the university.
The boys' piece of art is a collage on paper, divided in halves. The left half, with a purple background, depicts some of the negativity Muslims feel from America. A quote from Amel — "I was so scared to show my religion to America" — is at the center of that half.
The other half, with a white background, was meant to showcase Amel's jolly personality. It includes a picture of him with a broad smile standing on the university campus.
The high school students met their subjects during an event arranged by Cynthia Smith, assistant director of outreach programs in the university's department of International Students and Scholars.
This is the third year Grisso has done the project as part of the ARTeacher Fellowship program. The program is organized by the university's Center for Children and Youth in collaboration with Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and the Walton Arts Center.
It provides area secondary teachers with an intensive course of training and development focused on using arts-based strategies in English, science and social studies.
Students were trying to capture their subjects' essence and design something they felt reflected that person. The artists' statements forced them to exercise some of the academic skills they need involving analysis of a piece of art, Grisso said.
"It's a very challenging thing for a 16-year-old to look at a piece of pottery and tell you the historical context and all that stuff," she said. "But when they make the art piece themselves, it's like, light bulbs go off."
Students visited a local mosque and met professors in the university's Middle Eastern studies program.
"We found out Muslim people are living in our community, hiding in plain sight," Grisso said. "And there are lots of high school students who are Muslim that the kids didn't even realize were Muslim."
Febriyanti Lestari, a doctoral student from Indonesia, was an interviewee. She thanked Grisso for giving people like her a platform to share their life experiences and to get to know the high school students.
"This is an amazing idea," Lestari said. "I hope she does it every year."
Lestari, who's been in America since 2014, said she's traveled to 27 states, adding she enjoys the opportunity to meet new people.
"People are very nice. So far I've not had a bad experience," she said.
High school students Haley Jackson, Amanda Thomsen and Christina Lim — all of whom were raised as Christians — visited the Northwest Arkansas Islamic Center and guided a discussion with preteen children during Sunday school. Their artwork was paper cut and decorated to resemble a mosque; they drew small pictures within it representing what they had experienced during their visit.
Thomsen said it's fine to learn about another religion from a textbook, but getting to visit an actual mosque is a more powerful experience.
The group's artist statement summed up what they'd learned: "We were able to see through the children's eyes how Muslim principles are applied in their everyday life and how they handle judgments from people that are not familiar with Islam."
Out of about 28,000 students at the university, nearly 1,400 are international students representing 119 countries, according to Smith. There's no data about how many are Muslim.
Smith was impressed by the effort the high school students put into their project.
"I really liked it," she said. "I felt like the students' reflections were great, their artwork was nice. They took the project seriously."

How to Use a Magnetic Level – and Why You'd Want To
Kevin shows one of a set of sculptures he is working on, Shade and Shadow. It has a 3/8″ rod running through the center of it with triangles slid onto it, all of which is bent into an oval.
The form itself is called an umbilic torus, which is three-dimensional but one-sided. It rotates 120 degrees, which makes it three dimensional even though it has just one side. Go around three times and you end up in the same place!
"It's really easy," Kevin says, "except for that math."
Then he found a little level made by Flange Wizard that has magnets in the bottom, a degree wheel and a bubble level. Kevin takes the level and places it on one of the triangles and levels the bubble.
Each line on the magnetic level represents 2-1/2 degrees, and Kevin knows he needs each triangle to rotate 4 degrees to get the twist he wants. So he just advances the level 4 degrees, sticking it on the next triangle, tack welding it into place, and then doing it over and over.
Figuring out the number of degrees he needed to advance was easy – there are 30 triangles and 120 degrees of twist, because it is three-sided, to get to 360 degrees.
Kevin then thanks Mr. Inman, his high school math teacher. "You were right!" he says.
He also thanks the folks at Flange Wizard, who makes this tool, which he found at one of his favorite sites, pipefitter.com
Before you go, you might want to stick around for another moment to see Kevin tell how he really feels about math ….

Be forewarned. These sea salt chocolate caramel candies are sinfully delicious!! They take 15 minutes to make from start to finish, and the recipe is super kid friendly. But I need to warn you that these "caramels" are totally addicting, but in a good way. Simply roll up the medjool dates into sticky little balls and dip them in this simple raw chocolate sauce, garnish with flakes of sea salt and chill until firm, and then you will swear you were eating a soft caramel "candy" from a fancy chocolate shop. I love having a bowl of these babies in the fridge for a tasty little burst of energy in the late afternoon or I often grab a couple to enjoy as a simple dessert. They remind me of a cross between "Rolos" and "Milk Duds" but are soooo much better. I love how these real food ingredients are in disguise as a naughty treat.
These candies are as simple to make as it gets! I think that is partially why I love them so. But if you are looking for a more authentic sticky vegan paleo caramel filled chocolate recipe check out these crazy caramel filled chocolates or my raw snickers bar recipe.
If using granulated pure maple sugar, (coconut sugar or date sugar) grind it to a fine powder in a coffee grinder, this takes like 10 seconds. It is also okay to use without grinding it, but the maple sugar will make a kinda gritty chocolate, though it's still freaking delicious!! Skip this step if you are using liquid maple syrup.
When cacao butter is melted, stir in cacao powder and maple syrup. Remove from heat.
Place all 32 date balls into the chocolate sauce in the bowl. Stir date balls until they are well covered in chocolate.
Spoon each chocolate covered date ball onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaked sea salt over each chocolate.
Place in the fridge for an hour to firm up. Store chilled.
*Important Recipe Notes: I have made the chocolate coating for these candies 5 different ways. My most favorite way is with cacao butter + finely ground maple sugar as this makes a firmer chocolate that is so nice to bite into!! My second favorite method is using cacao butter + maple sugar, not finely ground. Tied for third place, I like the recipe made with cacao butter + date sugar, OR cacao butter + liquid maple syrup. And finally the recipe totally works with coconut oil + liquid maple syrup, but the chocolate coating will be softer and melt much easier when left at room temp if you use coconut oil to make the chocolate base.
These little morsels look absolutely delicious with the dark chocolate. All the ingredients are so healthy. Thanks for sharing on Real Food Fridays. Pinned & tweeted.
Thank you for your sweet comment! I am currently convinced these are the BEST treats in the Paleo universe, at least for the time being. Cheers!
Wow. These look really, really good!
These look amazing!!! I love using dates for caramels, so yummy! Thank you so much for sharing these with us at Savoring Saturdays … I'll be featuring them on Friday. Pinned and sharing. Thanks again!
I adore chocolate so I am delighted that you shared your healthy and delectable chocolate treats with us at the Healthy Happy Green and Natural Party Blog Hop. I am so delighted that you are partying with us! I'm pinning and sharing.
Thank you Deborah! It's always a sweet pleasure linking up with you!
Thank you! I am totally honored!!
Just a note to let you know that I have chosen your post to be one of my features for this weeks Real Food Fridays blog hop that goes live every Thursday @ 7pm EST. Thank you for sharing with Real Food Fridays and being part of our mission to make this a healthier world.
Awesome!! Thank you! I am honored!!
Thanks!! These are my favorite treat at the moment for sure!
Sea salt chocolate caramel is my love language. These are mouthwatering!
I would love to link up! Thanks so much for the invitation!
Before going nut free on the AIP, dates filled with almond butter were my favorite treat. It looks like I have found a new favorite! Thank you for this!
Yum!! I would love to try these .Thanks for sharing and linking up with The Alder Collective!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I look forward to linking up with you again!
These look so delicious! And I just looooove what they're made of :). Pinning!
Thanks Michelle! I LOVE these little "caramels"! This afternoon I made a triple batch (100 of them) to serve at my dinner party tomorrow. Have a great weekend!
This recipe is absolutely delicious! I have tried making it a variety of ways. The only problem I encountered is that my chocolate seems to seize every time Mix it with the date ax which while it doest detract from their flavour, makes them look less pretty. Do you have any advise to stop this from happening?
The only thing I know that really makes chocolate seize is water. Is there a chance a drop of water is getting into your melted chocolate? Also I would make sure you dates are totally dry too, if there is any water on the dates it can make it seize.
You can also try adding in a little extra coconut oil to help thin the chocolate out a bit too. And you can try dipping just a few dates at a time into the melted chocolate instead of the whole batch of 'em, that might help?
Hope you next batch goes more smoothly!
How can I make this into milk chocolate please ?
You can use a milk chocolate recipe (there are tons of them out there) and dip the date balls into it. Or you can try melting down milk chocolate chips. I personally have an allergy to milk that's why I don't use it in my recipes.

Introducing Sealand Gear Ambassador Patrick Burnett
With the concept of making upcycled products from discarded yacht sails, truck tarpaulin, advertising billboard, ripstop and Bedouin stretch tent materials, who better to represent Sealand on the ground than the man who makes beautiful, handmade wooden surfboards and runs courses on how to build them. Patrick Burnett is the latest Sealand Gear ambassador who we would like to introduce.

Explain to us what you actually do for a living.
I make hollow wooden surfboads, stand-up paddleboards and related surfcraft, all out of wood. As part of that I run courses where people come into my workshop and build their own boards.

So it's woodworking then. If someone were to want to make a board, but is not very good with their hands, will it be a challenge for you and for them?
I've had people from all backgrounds - from 14 to 70 years of age - from people that are good with their hands to people that have never picked up a saw. What's great to see is how everyone no matter his or her background really gets something out of creating a surfboard out of wood. The job for me is to assess where people are and then either let them get on with it, or assist where required. But it is definitely not a pre-requisite to be good with your hands. I find it very inspiring when someone who hasn't worked with wood before comes in and makes a beautiful surfboard - it gives me chicken skin!
Recently planed timber ready to form part of a new wooden board.
How long does it take to make a board with you?
The full course is 5-6 days and with that you start off with a pile of planks and finish the woodwork on your surfboard. For folk with less time, there's a three-day option where part of the board is done for them. Most people choose the 6-day option - I think they want to start at the beginning and be able to say they did all of it.

What else do you do? You're in Europe at the moment.
I've been lucky to have a relationship with a company called Vermont Sales, who distribute Triton power tools in South Africa. Triton have supplied me with power tools for the last 18 months and I'm in Germany to shape a wood surfboard at their demo stand that they have at an exhibition in Cologne. It's been an awesome experience so far to see a different place and meet some amazing people. Triton's whole vibe is to support the maker movement - people doing interesting things with wood, and so there is a really talented young woodworker here from the UK and a woodworking blogger from the States who are also doing demo's, so it's been great to share experiences and hang out.

What is your philosophy on life in general?
In three words, let it happen...
What would you do if you were granted the power to change the world?
I wouldn't know where to start; it's so daunting a question. Maybe prioritise time travel research so we could go back and change our destiny, end up in a better place?
What is the most progressive thing in the world of surfing right now?
Big wave surfing. The way the paddle boundaries have been pushed the last few years has been phenomenal, unbelievable almost. But I think what's also interesting for me where I'm at is how the idea of what you can ride and how you ride has diversified – the ride anything movement, the finless movement, the retro movement, the wood surfboard movement – and also how all those movements cross pollinate each other. It's inspiring.
Patrick testing the boundaries of big wave surfing on one of his hollow wooden board.
On fatherhood and challenges. You love being a dad?
Yes. It is very meaningful. My kids (two boys age 11 and 4) inspire me, challenge me, keep me young and sometimes even tell me when I'm full of shit. Being a parent is a privilege, an honour and keeps me honest. I'm tremendously grateful.
Father like son, Patrick and youngest son share the stoke of hand craft.
Our environment needs to be looked after, for your children and their children. Elaborate.
A few years ago the author George Monbiot put it well in saying that "we're borrowing from the future to pay for the present." I think we need to try and live more consciously, keeping in mind that the hard decisions we don't make about how we structure our lives and society as a whole have tremendous consequences for the lives of our children.
Do you have an opinion on Nuclear?
I'm opposed to nuclear, for a number of reasons. Generally, nuclear accidents do happen and when they do it is a multi-generational disaster that compromises the future of our kids and kids kids. Check out Fukushima. There's got to be a better way. With regards South Africa's nuclear plans, as widely reported there are serious questions around the transparency of what's under discussion and huge concerns about the potential for corruption and the vested interests that want to see us adopt nuclear – it's not only about our energy needs but has the potential to further undermine the health of our institutions and body politic, as the arms deal has so tragically demonstrated.

we've made no secret that we plan to travel a lot once we retire early in just a couple of years. and we've stressed that we can't avoid all splurges (which for us are mostly travel) while planning for early retirement without feeling too restricted and going off the rails. though we've made the choice to put off more extended travel for now in the interest of soon being able to travel basically forever, we think some travel every year is super important so that we don't feel like we're missing out on the present in the interest of the future, and since travel is one of life's best teachers.
of course, when we travel now, we do just about everything we can to keep expenses low, so that it doesn't set us back in our early retirement savings, and so that we don't get used to "travel inflation" (just like lifestyle inflation) that would make it hard to adjust once we're on our early retirement budget.
having to do a lot of work travel has pros and cons. on the positive side, we earn a lot of points from flying and staying in hotels, and from charging those expenses to our points-earning credit cards. of course the negative is having to travel so much! sometimes we feel like we are missing out on life where we actually live, though we can deal with it because we know the end is in sight. we make the travel a net positive, though, by being smart about points — trying to travel with a single airline as much as possible, and staying with only a few hotel chains (we're partial to united and marriott). by doing that, we bank lots of points that we can use to travel for close to nothing when it's travel for fun. if you don't travel a lot for work, don't despair. you can still make an effort to consolidate your travel with a limited number of airlines and hotel chains — just watch for how quickly your points expire. some hotel chains are now setting expiration dates as early as one year after the most recent stay, and some airline miles expire within 18 months. often, though, you can keep points active by signing up for that chain's points credit card.
when we can, we love traveling in groups, both to spend time with people we like hanging out with, and to save money. if a group of four couples rent a four-bedroom house, inevitably the house will cost less per couple than trying to rent an apartment for just one couple — and usually far less than the equivalent hotel cost. also, when you travel with a group, it feels more festive to shop for food and dine in, with people rotating on kitchen duties, and there's less pressure to go out to eat. and often there are cost savings to be had on transportation costs, too, especially if you carpool or take cabs or ubers.
we love sampling local cuisine when we travel, but going out to eat can add up fast. we always plan some meals out when we travel, making sure to avoid chain restaurants like the plague and do our best to eat like locals. but we try to cook most of our meals ourselves, especially breakfasts and dinners. (often you can get the same food for lunch at a much better price than you'd pay for dinner at the same restaurant — so we often plan to do our eating out at lunchtime.) we make sure that we can cook for ourselves by either booking lodging through airbnb or vrbo, or by staying at a hotel with a kitchen or kitchenette (these are actually pretty easy to find in most places). most hostels will also let you use the kitchen.
this tip is also good for our sanity. we aren't big fans of crowds, and we're willing to miss out on the best weather in a place if we can go there when it's less crowded. bonus: off-peak is also cheaper, often by a lot. just make sure you do your homework and don't go when attractions you want to visit are closed, or in the middle of monsoon season. double bonus: we often find that locals are more welcoming and friendlier when you visit off-peak.
as much as we look forward to traveling slowly when we're retired, we also believe in the benefits of short trips. some destinations are unavoidably expensive, and so taking a shorter trip there lessens the cost. (we're talking to you, nyc. and you, vegas.) and while we love a good cathedral or museum as much as the next guy, the truth is that you don't have to see every sight in a place to get to know it. most places that we love we love for the vibe of the place, and the energy of the people, not the tourist attractions. you can soak in that vibe and energy in a relatively short time and carry it back home with you. the other benefit of taking short trips, especially long weekend trips: not having to take much time off from work.
sometimes the biggest travel expenses come from not being prepared for what you might face. when you leave the country, buy travel insurance. you have to pay for it, but it could save you huge money if something happens. when you go around town each day, don't take all of your ID and credit cards with you, because if your wallet gets stolen, you'll be in tough shape. take one photo ID and card with you, and leave your passport and backup card in the safe in your room or hostel. and be prepared for sketchy accommodation. though we never recommend booking a place that looks sketchy (safety first!), sometimes if you've booked a cheap place to save money, you'll inevitably end up somewhere you're not thrilled to be sleeping. do yourself a favor and buy an inexpensive travel door alarm, and maybe a small doorstop to wedge the door shut. then you'll still be able to get a good night of sleep, instead of staying up all night worrying about someone coming into your room. after all, time is money, too, and a day wasted because you're too tired to enjoy it defeats the whole purpose.
what other tips do you have for saving money while traveling? we'd love to hear!
when you're not naturally frugal // are we doomed?
Interesting. I hope it works out for you!
Thanks! Appreciate you reading and commenting. Have a great day.
We have done all those things and I picked up some new ideas today. When we traveled for work, they gave us a per diem for food regardless if we used it or not. So we would go to a local deli/grocery store and pick up stuff for a cold breakfast or lunch that can stay in those wee little hotel fridges and then we used the per diem to cover fancy restaurants for a treat or other costs of travel. (Plus you can control your portion size and meal quality a lot more easily that way.) Our travel was always associated with scientific meetings so we would also book an extra day or two before the meetings started or after they ended. Those days, we used the per diem to go see a museum or catch the local fun spot. On a few occasions we would add some extra days at our expense to fly to a nearby city since we were already across the ocean. That is a much cheaper way to see Paris if you are already in Vienna for example. One of the best times I ever had was back in the days when, if you stayed over the weekend, you got a huge discount in airfare. The powers that be were willing to negotiate to allow me to stay over the weekend and cover the cost of my hotel for doing as they saved money on the airfare. I used the extra two days to go to Disneyland and I had an absolute blast even though I was by myself. I didn't have to wait in line because most rides had single rider advance lines. I rode the Indiana Jones Temple of Doom ride about a dozen times. Alas those days are gone but there are always ways.
Wow — you are a pro at milking the work travel. Once upon a time we had a brief per diem gig, and we definitely spent less in order to pocket the difference. But now we get reimbursed for actual expenses. Though it's not all bad — we often try restaurants we've been wanting to eat at while traveling for work (and therefore get reimbursed for the expense, which is pretty great) — the drawback there is that we're usually not together! :-) We love the idea of the add-on trip, too. We did that once when we had a paid trip to London, and tacked on a weekend in Paris. Though now international travel for work is super rare, so we try to leverage what we can on stateside travel, and bank those miles and points for the international stuff. Thanks for reading and commenting!
I definitely try to keep my flying and consistent for work (Delta and Marriott affiliates). I also try to be flexible for personal travel to get the lowest rates. Great list of ideas!
Good call — and thanks!
I love checking out local markets, co-ops, farmers markets for unique local produce. This is a great way to sample local cuisine and culture yet still eat on a budget and healthy. We take our two burner camp stove with us every time we travel by car, and often stop to cook meals in city parks or national forest picnic areas.
I second the being prepared. Even if we are just going a couple hours away for a night or two, I do extensive research on points of interest and especially directions. I hate wasting time driving around or the frustration of deciding on something to do. I typically research a bunch of different options, so we can pick and choose what to do depending on the mood we are in any given day.
Two words – hell yes! These are awesome tips, especially the ones about traveling off peak and being as prepared as you possibly can. Things happen, but the more you know about the place that you're going, the better your chances of avoiding unintended expenses.
My wife and I are going to learn how to camp so we can ditch the hotel room for a tent – at a fraction of the cost, too. We don't exactly stay in expensive 5-star hotels either, but renting a camp site for a night instead of a hotel room will leave a bunch of extra cash in our wallets.
Just wondering if you have ever explored bike touring. You can do it anywhere in the world, or right at home in the states. You can pack a simple change of clothes and stay in hotels, or load your camping gear onto your bike's panniers and stay at campgrounds or wild camp. Most tourers mix and match. Either way, bike touring allows you to get off the tourist route and see a more authentic side of the region. Also, people tend to be super friendly to cyclists.
We have lived overseas for 7 years now, and sometimes feel a bit jaded with taking selfies in front of another Unesco World Heritage Site. Bike touring offers us a chance to have those spontaneous conversations and unique moments with the local people that regular tourists miss out on.
A favourite resource site we like is http://www.cyclingabout.com.
I love that you suggested bike touring! It's definitely something we're looking at doing in the near future, once we can take some longer trips. Thanks for the great resource link!


Citing growing public concern over "how the animals are treated," Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus has taken the long-suffering elephants exploited for their shows off the road. And LION Pres John Di Leonardo and his father Gary traveled down to Rhode Island to protest their elephant acts one final time.
However, Ringling's announcement came too late for 8-month-old baby Riccardo who was killed after he fractured his hind legs during a training exercise involving ropes and bullhook, 3-year-old Kenny who died after he was forced to perform despite defecating blood, and 2-year-old Mike who died from elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus—a highly fatal disease linked to the stress of captivity—at Ringling Bros. Florida prison camp more than 7 months after the elephants were taken off the road.
It also does nothing for lions like Clyde, who was baked to death in a Ringling box-car, and Arnie, who was shot to death in a locked cage.
