Everyone one for the most part agrees that 2015 was a huge year for board gaming. We saw huge hits in Pandemic Legacy, Blood Rage, Time Stories, and Codenames. You could have easily separated 2015 in half and still had 2 great years. Unfortunately, due to so many great games, some may have been overlooked or forgotten. This was not due to them being bad games but rather when they may have been released or got lost in the Essen flood of games. Here are 10 games that I felt deserve a second mention as they were all really good games. The games are not listed in any particular order.
This had the misfortune of being the other game Space Cowboys put out before Time Stories. Elysium is a unique card game that can be played in approximately an hour. Cards have great art and an insert that actually works! This set collection game has some great strategy that will leave you shaking your head on what you should do. There is enough player interaction to keep everyone involved at all times.
Voyages of Marco Polo was my Euro game of the year. This may have fallen off many peoples radar due to being released early in the year and selling out. This dice worker placement game has similarities to other great games such as Alien Frontiers. I enjoyed Voyages of Marco Polo more because of the player powers, traveling to different cities, and various paths to victory. If you are a Euro style or worker placement fan, you should play this as soon as you can.
Viceroy was my favorite game that I played in the first half of 2015. This card pyramid building game combines some interesting elements. Auctioning to receive cards each turn using gems in a secret bid was an interesting system that was hit or miss with players. There were great decisions in figuring out which card your going to place due to card abilities and matching gem colors. Viceroy's engine building made you really think ahead of time on which strategy you wanted to go with. There were many paths to victory and games were usually close. The art on the cards is very good.
Dice City was released around Essen and had great success. Due to all the big releases this did not get as much notice as it deserved. Dice City replaced Machi Koro for me. I was a huge Machi Koro fan and Dice City impressed me that much. This light civilization building game has players rolling dice and using the corresponding buildings that are in that certain dies location. You can attack other players if you want or focus on your own city. Easy to teach and learn. This is a great family game for all to enjoy.
Dark Moon is a commercial release of the popular BSG Express PnP game. Dark Moon is a co-operative game with a hidden traitor element. You are trying to keep your space station in tact while some members of your crew may be infected. Players are rolling dice to repair the station, taking care of urgent missions, and for your voting. A vote may hinge on you have the right color die. If you do not have it, will make you a suspect as an infected player. Tension is high and with the station falling apart can you survive?
The best way I can describe Favor of the Pharaoh is that it is Yahtzee with special abilities. You will spend the whole game preparing for the end roll. You need to balance having a lot of dice, types, and abilities to win this game. Released around Essen time, this family game did not get much press, but I recommend it if your family enjoys dice games.
Tides of Time is a 2 player game that has players drafting cards back and forth to collect cards to meet goals for points. The goals are on the cards that you are collecting for symbols. Trying to get the most out of each card is very huge in this game. One of my favorite games that came out of Gen Con this year and has been a hit for everyone I introduced to it. The art is outstanding and could be on someone's wall as a painting. 7 Wonders Duel came out and took the attention from all the other 2 player games. 2015 was a great year for 2 player games and this was most certainly one of them.
DragonFlame was a game that I had not even heard about till I was sent a review copy. DragonFlame takes a fresh look at mixing auction and area control mechanics with set collection. Players will be collecting gems and treasure, while also burning the towns. If you do the most burning in a town, you get victory points, but if the town is not fully burnt down it is worthless. In the auction cards are placed face up and face down leading to some tense decisions on which pile you want to take. Take the wrong one and you could end up with negative points. Compact game that is very fun to play.
Between Two Cities was a kickstarter game that had players building cities with the players next to them. You had to work with the players next to you but also not help them out too much. You score the weaker of your two cities and the player with the highest points for a weaker city wins. Between Two Cities is all about balance and how to best maintain it. You can play solo or up to 7 players. Very quick set up and no down time makes this a hit for larger groups.
Starfighter is another 2 player game that was released around Gen Con that really got barely any attention. You are a commander of a capitol ship and sending out fighters to protect your ship against the other player. Each player can adjust their board position and cards will move around the board including flipping over or turned 180 degrees. This has a classic arcade game feel that will appeal to some. Lots of combos and decisions that make this very enjoyable in a short period of time.
Welcome to a new year of gaming. I predict that 2016 will be an even bigger year than 2015! Hard to believe but I have a gut feeling it will be huge. January started off the year with some excellent games I have never played before. The top 5 or 6 could easily be on a top 10 list for the year, in fact a few did make my list of top 25 of 2015. This month saw a lot of heavier euro style games and were of great quality. If this is a preview of what I have to look forward to in 2016 I will be a very happy gamer. I look forward to hearing what your favorite new to you games were for the month.
This was my most disappointing game of the month and possibly of games that came out in 2015. I love the X-Men and the one thing I did enjoy about the game was all the various X-Men and students available that I recognized. The gameplay was kind of bland and the dice were especially cruel. The game lasted close to 3 hours and felt longer than that. I ran away with the victory and no one else was even close. I hate giving a comic game a pass, but I will not play this again.
 Junking was a enjoyable family game. I would personally not want to play it on my game night with my buddies, but if I am playing games with kids, then this would definitely be a good choice.
Helionox was a unique deck builder that added a movement aspect. I liked the decision making into buying new cards or focusing on overcoming events. The game played very quick which normally I would love but in this case I wish the game lasted slightly longer. If your a fan of science fiction or deck builders, please give this a chance.
Mage Wars: Academy is a game that simulates being a mage better than any other game I have played. I usually do not enjoy 2 player CCG type card games, but this was very good. Mage Wars: Academy is not a CCG but plays like those games in many ways. The binders that are included were a great touch of immersing you into this game. If you find this theme enjoyable or have been looking for a jumping point into the Mage Wars universe, this is your game.
I like a lot of the games that release a dice version of the original. The dice version a lot of times can be hit or miss and be completely different from the original. Nations: the Dice Game I actually prefer over the original. This is less complicated to explain and takes about half the time as the original. Nations: the Dice Game keeps the flavor of the original with completely new dice mechanics. Plenty of strategy with a bit of luck of the dice. If you enjoyed the original or love dice games then you should give this a try soon.
Dice City was played very early in the month and I am glad I did finally get to play it. Dice City was played as I was finalizing my top 25 of 2015 list and Dice City and the next game made me redo my list. Dice City is another civilization dice game, but this is more in flavor with Machi Koro. In fact, Dice City has now replaced Machi Koro in my mind. Very fun with a little player interaction. Every die you roll will help you in some way. This is how a dice game should be done.
This was one of my first heavy style worker placement game. The theme came off great and was an instant hit for me. Everyone was close in victory points at the end and you always felt like there was something you could do. Lots of critical thinking and some humor as we made fun of some of the art. Everyone wanted to kill an artist so their art got more popular. (you don't get to kill artists) The components for this game were great. Highly recommend to anyone that enjoys worker placement games.
I am actually not going to say much about Signorie as my review will be out this week for it. Obviously by the position in this list you can tell I enjoyed it a lot. A great medium difficulty worker placement game that puts you in charge of a family in 15th century Italy. A great start for euro style games in 2016.
I am upset it took me this long to play this great game. The theme is felt in every aspect of the game and I now feel I have a shot at running a vineyard. Port el Taco? I think it could make a great wine. Mechanics played out very smooth and was a very easy worker placement game to teach. I can not wait to play with more of the Tuscany expansion added to it. There is so much in this game to explore. The components are above any other euro game I have played. If you are a fan of worker placement games then you should have already played this game. If you have never played a worker placement game, then this will turn you into a fan of one.
December was a slower month for new games for me sadly. This month you will see lots of expansions on the list and you may be surprised by some of their rankings. 4 of the games on this list made my top 25 of 2015 list in some way. I look forward to seeing what everyone else played this month that was new to them.
Jordan will be posting a review soon on this game so I wont go into any detail. This ranked low to me because it reminded me a lot of games like Fluxx. I am not a fan of games that can take anywhere from 5 minutes to over an hour. House Rules is interesting in the way that the cards will be dry erasable so that you can make up your own rules and changes.
This is probably the biggest surprise on the list. I love Rum and Bones, but this expansion has in my opinion some balance issues. The issue manly is with the ships and how the Kraken ends up attacking your opponent more than the minions on your Mazu ships because of the layout. I still enjoy the new characters and will look into ways of evening out the boats.
Fun worker placement game that looks like it should be a game of Risk. A lot of interesting ways of getting victory points in this game. I have only had to chance to play this once so I can not say too much about it, but I did enjoy the one play through.
Expansion for one of my top 5 games of 2015. Ambition adds black dice and objectives that add a little extra to the game. I like this expansion for the fact it doesn't change the original but rather adds to or enhances the core game. Very fun expansion that I will play with anytime I play Roll for the Galaxy.
Welcome back winter! Your cold weather brings my friends indoors, which means more gaming. This month I have 12 new games I played. Rankings were super tough this month and I would recommend playing 11 of the games on this list. Many of them will end up on my best of 2015 lists. I hope you all got to enjoy playing games this month as much as I did. Quick Note: If you click on the picture of a game it will either take you to my thoughts on the game or the game's boardgamegeek page.
Blood Rage Squeaked out a very close battle for number 1. The hype for Blood Rage was crazy and I was worried that it could never live up to what everyone was saying. I was very wrong. Blood Rage met the hype and sent it to Valhalla. Excellent minis, fast fun game play, and surprisingly easy to learn and teach. Blood Rage will be a contender for many of my best of 2015 awards.
All that is left of 2015 is December. I still have a lot of 2015 games to play before the year is done. I look forward to the challenge and the rankings for next month. Till then I hope you all get to play lots of fun games.
I did not get in as many games as usual this month. What I did get in was very good. Looking at the list the majority of the games in it could easily be a contender for top game of the month in any month this year. The one that got it deserved it for being unique, fun and flawless execution of the style it was going after.
Why is Rum & Bones is #1 for October: I really enjoyed playing Rum & Bones. This is the board game version of League of Legends MOBA style game. I was very addicted to League of Legends for the greater part of two years and this game felt as if I was playing a head to head game of it in person. Each character feels unique despite all being pirates. It was surprisingly easy to pick up and play and had plenty of risk and reward type strategy to it. This is currently my number 1 game for 2015 but with devoting November and December to catching up on all the games of 2015 we will see if it can maintain that title. Jordan should be doing a review for Rum & Bones sometime in November and look forward to seeing what he thought of it.

Atlanta Public Schools – Forgotten Treasures
Connecting Atlanta's history through the history of historic buildings.
Welcome – School's Back In Session
Former APS Schools Mapped
Atlanta Public School Namesakes
Welcome to Atlanta Public Schools – Forgotten Treasures! As many of you may come to discover, the city of Atlanta is constantly changing its landscape. Native Atlantans have watched these rapid changes with awe and trepidation. While it is wonderful to see the city change and evolve into a modern metropolis, fit for the title of "Hollywood of the South," it is also sad to see the history of the city wiped away.
The purpose of this blog is to provide a look back at Atlanta's past through a different avenue – through the history of forgotten Atlanta Public Schools that have either become victims of the wrecking ball or have luckily received renovations and repurposing. Histories of public schools fall into the category of local history, which is crucial for any inhabitant of Atlanta. The interesting history of the former Atlanta Public Schools tells you more about the city than you know. It provides a history of local neighborhoods, the history of social trends, economics, gendered history, integrations, etc. Finally, native Atlantans longing for the old Atlanta can explore the histories of old Atlanta schools and reminisce about the days long forgotten. Unbeknownst to many, buildings can connect people's stories to a broader story of Atlanta's history.

What happened to the school called the North Ave. School in 1921?
R. Scott says:
Lee street closed in 1970 and students were transferred to the new Dean Rusk school. The property was bought by a developer before the close of the ladt school year and torn down to make way for the West End Mall. I attended Lee from the second grade to the third and half the sixth and half the seventh I finished the seventh at people Street school. The years I was not at Lee street in West End I was at Lee Street in Jonesboro. My first grade was spent in Moleania in the country of Cantonment Fl.

Thank you for this information on gone but not forgotten schools! My first teaching experience was at Grant Park Elementary in 1965-66 school year. My second year with APS found me coordinating the teaching of science at Grant Park, E.A. ware, and M.Agnes Jones elementary schools.
I would LOVE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THESE SCHOOLS. If the buildings are still standing, I would like their addresses!
Thank you for this fortotten bit of history!

APS – Along the Racial Lines
When the Atlanta Public School system began in 1872, schools were separated by race and would remain this way until possibly the 1970's; a time where many APS schools continued to fight against integration. White Flight permanently damaged the APS system as funding seemed to dry up as the school system because more inclusive to African-Americans.… Continue reading APS – Along the Racial Lines

Myth or truth: Do greasy foods cause acne?
Let me just say this, right out of the gate: The majority of health experts label this a myth. However, I did find something interesting in my research that you may want to consider.
But first things first – if not on our face, where does the grease and fat go?
Here's what happens: The food you chew, with hidden fat wrapped in every wondrous bite travels through your mouth, down your esophagus and into your stomach. Once it gets processed and exits your stomach, it piles into your intestinal cavity, where acids and enzymes break fat down into molecules small enough for your cell walls to absorb. From there, these tiny molecules find their way to the veins of your chest and fat stores throughout your body.
Sidebar: Unless we do the things necessary to eliminate fat from our system – exercising to burn it off and reducing our fat intake as much as possible – it never really leaves. But instead of surfacing on our skin, it takes the form of obesity, heart disease and diabetes – far worse than any facial breakout, right?
But I digress – back to the issue at hand.
Acne doesn't come directly from the fat deposits that develop from the foods we eat. Breakouts originate in the ducts that connect the sebaceous (said seb-ay-shus) glands in the skin. These glands produce sebum, what our skin and hair uses to keep both soft and protected from the elements. When these glands get clogged with sebum, dead skin cells and bacteria, pimples and blackheads have the perfect environment to develop and multiply. The immune system responds, and that's where the redness and inflammation of acne comes from.
That's the process in a nutshell – and hormones increase the frequency of that process. So what affects the hormone levels that increase the frequency of the process that causes acne?
There are others, of course. Two of them, in particular, really have me thinking twice about the things I'm choosing to eat regularly – dairy & sugar.
It turns out that they raise androgen (hormones that promote male characteristics in humans) and insulin levels, both of which get that whole acne process started in the first place.
So, bottom line: Does greasy food show up on your face as acne? No. Does the food you eat influence your body's chemistry, thereby promoting conditions like acne, obesity, heart disease and diabetes? Absolutely. We can't go wrong with incorporating more raw vegetables, fruits and whole grains into our eating habits.


Settled by Bohemians back in 1863. The early settlers of Puhoi (Slow Water) came in 1863 from Bohemia, an area of what is now the Czech Republic approximately 60 km from Prague. At the time the migrants left Bohemia it was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the snow, at midnight on 26 February 1863, 82 Bohemians left Staab by train for Prague, with the farewells of their parents and friends they would never see again.
Three days later they were in Hamburg, their port of departure. After a long voyage they arrived in Auckland before being taken by sailing cutter to the mouth of the Puhoi River. There they were transferred to Maori canoes for the last four miles of their journey.
They arrived at two nikau wharf on the river bank, now part of the presbytery grounds. This was on June 29, 1863 after a journey of 124 days. In despair, in the cold and dark, the women sank to the ground and wept. The Bohemian settlers started clearance work immediately of their allotted land and began building nikau shacks and providing access between neighbours by tracks. Life was a real struggle.
In those early years the Bohemians had to forage for what little they could find and were close to starvation. From time to time friendly local Maori brought them vegetables and fruit and despite real language difficulties the settlers gradually gained skills and learnt what could be gathered, caught and planted in the first small bush clearings. What little income could be derived from sending firewood and charcoal down to Auckland was used for tools and later animals.
Visit the Puhoi Museum for the continuation of this story.
Built of the best heart kauri in the hip-roofed style of Puhoi homes common in the early 1900s, the much modified Puhoi Cottage celebrated its 100th birthday in 2008 with a summer-long programmeof musical performances. Timber for the cottage may have been pit-sawn, or milled at the Remiger and Dahlberg mill up the Puhoi Valley, and the flooring was brought into the settlement by steamer.
The cottage was originally home to the family of Jeseph and Margaret Hendl, who with two daughters, arrived in New Zealand on the Friedeburg in 1875.
Upon the marriage of Anna Hendl to Mathew Wech it became their family home. Mathew later drowned, aged 57, in a fully-clothed and booted fall from the Puhoi wharf while collecting a parcel from the steamer "Kotiti" in 1920.
Puhoi Cottage has been a Devonshire Tearoom and garden cafe since 1976.

Three full television / video sets, and over 45,000 sq. feet of media production facilities. Microsoft Studios is the place to create high-impact video, audio, and new media experiences in support of Microsoft's global marketing initiatives.
Challenge: Create a web portal showcasing the impressive media created at Studios while also facilitating easy searching and cataloging of thousands of videos. Also involved was creating a knowledge base (including blogs, wiki's and robust search features) for those interested in DIY filming, editing and creation.
Solution: The site and associated properties were structured for maximum visual impact, while also being functionally superior from a usability standpoint.
Result: With the combined forces of Studios and the project team, we were able to develop a beautiful video showcase portal integrating the latest social media features.


The forerunner of the South African Institution of Civil Engineering was established in 1903 as a learned society aiming to develop technology and to share knowledge for the development of the day. The minutes of the proceedings of the then Cape Society of Civil Engineers mainly contained technical papers presented at the Society's meetings. Since then, and throughout its long history (during which time it has undergone several name changes), the organisation has continued to publish technical papers in its monthly publication (magazine), until 1993 when it created a separate journal for the publication of technical papers.
Today, the Journal of the South African Institution of Civil Engineering publishes refereed papers on all aspects of Civil Engineering relevant to Africa. It is an open access, internationally accredited journal, providing authoritative information not only on current developments, but also – through its back issues – giving access to data on established practices and the construction of existing infrastructure.
It is published quarterly (from 2015, previously biannually), and is controlled by a Journal Editorial Panel.
The ScIELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online) website stands under the auspices of the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), which in turn stands under the auspices of the National Department of Science and Technology. Acceptance of a journal onto this website is subject to stringent requirements, such as existing international accreditation.
The African Journal Archive website stands under the auspices of Sabinet Gateway, which is the non-profit arm of Sabinet promoting and supporting library and information services in Africa. The African Journal Archive was established after Sabinet Gateway received a grant from the Carnegie Corporation for the creation of a digital archive of African research published exclusively in Africa. A hundred years' worth of SAICE material was scanned by them recently and uploaded onto their website.

Small works roster contract procedures—Limited public works process—Definition.
*** CHANGE IN 2019 *** (SEE 5418-S.SL) ***
(1) This section provides uniform small works roster provisions to award contracts for construction, building, renovation, remodeling, alteration, repair, or improvement of real property that may be used by state agencies and by any local government that is expressly authorized to use these provisions. These provisions may be used in lieu of other procedures to award contracts for such work with an estimated cost of three hundred thousand dollars or less. The small works roster process includes the limited public works process authorized under subsection (3) of this section and any local government authorized to award contracts using the small works roster process under this section may award contracts using the limited public works process under subsection (3) of this section.
(2)(a) A state agency or authorized local government may create a single general small works roster, or may create a small works roster for different specialties or categories of anticipated work. Where applicable, small works rosters may make distinctions between contractors based upon different geographic areas served by the contractor. The small works roster or rosters shall consist of all responsible contractors who have requested to be on the list, and where required by law are properly licensed or registered to perform such work in this state. A state agency or local government establishing a small works roster or rosters may require eligible contractors desiring to be placed on a roster or rosters to keep current records of any applicable licenses, certifications, registrations, bonding, insurance, or other appropriate matters on file with the state agency or local government as a condition of being placed on a roster or rosters.

Master contracts may be required to be signed that become effective when a specific award is made using a small works roster.
(b) A state agency establishing a small works roster or rosters shall adopt rules implementing this subsection. A local government establishing a small works roster or rosters shall adopt an ordinance or resolution implementing this subsection.

(c) Procedures shall be established for securing telephone, written, or electronic quotations from contractors on the appropriate small works roster to assure that a competitive price is established and to award contracts to the lowest responsible bidder, as defined in RCW 39.04.010. Invitations for quotations shall include an estimate of the scope and nature of the work to be performed as well as materials and equipment to be furnished. However, detailed plans and specifications need not be included in the invitation. This subsection does not eliminate other requirements for architectural or engineering approvals as to quality and compliance with building codes. Quotations may be invited from all appropriate contractors on the appropriate small works roster. As an alternative, quotations may be invited from at least five contractors on the appropriate small works roster who have indicated the capability of performing the kind of work being contracted, in a manner that will equitably distribute the opportunity among the contractors on the appropriate roster. However, if the estimated cost of the work is from one hundred fifty thousand dollars to three hundred thousand dollars, a state agency or local government that chooses to solicit bids from less than all the appropriate contractors on the appropriate small works roster must also notify the remaining contractors on the appropriate small works roster that quotations on the work are being sought. The government has the sole option of determining whether this notice to the remaining contractors is made by: (i) Publishing notice in a legal newspaper in general circulation in the area where the work is to be done; (ii) mailing a notice to these contractors; or (iii) sending a notice to these contractors by facsimile or other electronic means. For purposes of this subsection (2)(c), "equitably distribute" means that a state agency or local government soliciting bids may not favor certain contractors on the appropriate small works roster over other contractors on the appropriate small works roster who perform similar services.
(d) A contract awarded from a small works roster under this section need not be advertised.
(e) Immediately after an award is made, the bid quotations obtained shall be recorded, open to public inspection, and available by telephone inquiry.
(3) In lieu of awarding contracts under subsection (2) of this section, a state agency or authorized local government may award a contract for work, construction, alteration, repair, or improvement projects estimated to cost less than thirty-five thousand dollars using the limited public works process provided under this subsection. Public works projects awarded under this subsection are exempt from the other requirements of the small works roster process provided under subsection (2) of this section and are exempt from the requirement that contracts be awarded after advertisement as provided under RCW 39.04.010.
For limited public works projects, a state agency or authorized local government shall solicit electronic or written quotations from a minimum of three contractors from the appropriate small works roster and shall award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder as defined under RCW 39.04.010. After an award is made, the quotations shall be open to public inspection and available by electronic request. A state agency or authorized local government shall attempt to distribute opportunities for limited public works projects equitably among contractors willing to perform in the geographic area of the work. A state agency or authorized local government shall maintain a list of the contractors contacted and the contracts awarded during the previous twenty-four months under the limited public works process, including the name of the contractor, the contractor's registration number, the amount of the contract, a brief description of the type of work performed, and the date the contract was awarded. For limited public works projects, a state agency or authorized local government may waive the payment and performance bond requirements of chapter 39.08 RCW and the retainage requirements of chapter 60.28 RCW, thereby assuming the liability for the contractor's nonpayment of laborers, mechanics, subcontractors, materialpersons, suppliers, and taxes imposed under Title 82 RCW that may be due from the contractor for the limited public works project, however the state agency or authorized local government shall have the right of recovery against the contractor for any payments made on the contractor's behalf.
(4) The breaking of any project into units or accomplishing any projects by phases is prohibited if it is done for the purpose of avoiding the maximum dollar amount of a contract that may be let using the small works roster process or limited public works process.
(5)(a) A state agency or authorized local government may use the limited public works process of subsection (3) of this section to solicit and award small works roster contracts to small businesses that are registered contractors with gross revenues under one million dollars annually as reported on their federal tax return.
(b) A state agency or authorized local government may adopt additional procedures to encourage small businesses that are registered contractors with gross revenues under two hundred fifty thousand dollars annually as reported on their federal tax returns to submit quotations or bids on small works roster contracts.
(6) As used in this section, "state agency" means the department of enterprise services, the state parks and recreation commission, the department of natural resources, the department of fish and wildlife, the department of transportation, any institution of higher education as defined under RCW 28B.10.016, and any other state agency delegated authority by the department of enterprise services to engage in construction, building, renovation, remodeling, alteration, improvement, or repair activities.

From left, Farrah Bui '14, Dallas C. Nan '16, and Lea Trusty '16 are leaders of the Princeton Quest Scholars Network, which connects and supports low-income students.
President Eisgruber '83 was among more than 80 higher-education leaders who attended a White House conference Jan. 16 on socioeconomic diversity in higher education, pledging new initiatives to recruit and support high-achieving, low-income students.
The conference, hosted by President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama '85, offered "compelling evidence that selective higher education has especially powerful benefits for students from low-income families," Eisgruber said. Educating those students "enables the University to serve as an engine of social mobility," he said.
Eisgruber said he found "very persuasive" a conference theme that "students coming from low-income groups should be thought of as great talents who will succeed," and not as students in need of special assistance.
Hiring Princeton's first associate dean for diversity outreach last spring.
Working with the College Board to use newly available data to identify high school students from low-income backgrounds, along with test scores and grades.
Expanding Princeton's partnership with Leadership Enterprise for a Diverse America (LEDA), a New York-based nonprofit that seeks to develop the academic and leadership potential of disadvantaged students and brings high school seniors to Princeton for summer courses and college counseling. The University has enrolled 60 LEDA alumni over the past 10 years, including 39 current students.
Seeking foundation funding to expand the summer Freshman Scholars Institute for incoming students, to include courses in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. Among those invited to attend the institute are first-generation college students and those who attended high schools where advanced courses were limited.
Michelle Obama, raised in a working-class family in Chicago, told the White House gathering that if her brother, Craig Robinson '83, had not been a basketball recruit at Princeton "and if I hadn't seen that he could succeed on a campus like that, it never would have occurred to me to apply." There are "so many kids out there just like me," she said. She said she received valuable support in adjusting to Princeton from a summer orientation program and from the Third World Center, now called the Carl A. Fields Center.
Princeton's definition of "low-income" correlates to the top of the middle quintile of household income, based on Census Bureau figures, according to Robin Moscato, director of undergraduate financial aid. For the Class of 2017, it was $60,000; for the Class of 2018, it is $65,000.
The Class of 2001 — the last class admitted before Princeton adopted its pioneering no-loan financial-aid policy — enrolled 88 low-income students, one of every five aid students, Moscato said, while the Class of 2017 includes 254 low-income students, nearly one of every three receiving aid.
In recent years Princeton has ranked at or near the bottom of its peer institutions in the number of students receiving Pell Grants, another measure of socioeconomic diversity, though the number is growing. Moscato said that about 10.5 percent of current seniors are Pell recipients, and 14.5 percent of freshmen.
Farrah Bui '14, the daughter of Vietnamese parents who settled in a small town in South Carolina, set out to help smooth that transition. Bui came to Princeton with assistance from QuestBridge, a nonprofit organization working to increase the number of low-income students at elite U.S. universities; Princeton has been enrolling more than 40 QuestBridge participants in each entering class.
Bui organized the Princeton Quest Scholars Network to support low-income students on a campus that offers "polar extremes" of financial status, as well as to mentor younger students. A committee formed by former president Shirley Tilghman a year ago to assess the campus experience of low-income students shows that the University is "being open and public about these issues," Bui said.

The Works of Francis Bacon, Volume 1
By Francis Bacon (visct. St. Albans.)
moving herbs and flowers into new earth once in two years, which is the same thing, for the new earth is ever looser, doth greatly further the prospering and earliness of plants.
407. BUT the most admirable acceleration by facilitating the nourishment is that of water. For a standard of a damask rose with the root on, was set in a chamber where no fire was, upright in an earthen pan, full of fair water, without any mixture, half a foot under the water, the standard being more than two foot high above the water: within the space of ten days the standard did put forth a fair green leaf, and some other little buds, which stood at a stay, without any shew of decay or withering, more than seven days. But afterwards that leaf faded, but the young buds did sprout on; which afterward opened into fair leaves in the space of three months; and continued so a while after, till upon removal we left the trial. But note, that the leaves were some what paler and lighter-coloured than the leaves used to be abroad, Note, that the first buds were in the end of October; and it is likely that if it had been in the spring time, it would have put forth with greater strength, and, it may be, to have grown on to bear flowers. By this means you may have, as it seemeth, roses set in the midst of a pool, being supported with some stay; which is matter of rareness and pleasure, though of small use. This is the more strange, for that the like rose-standard was put at the same time into water mixed with horse-dung, the horse-dung about the fourth part to the water, and in four months space, while it was observed, put not forth any leaf, though divers buds at the first, as the other.
408. A DUTCH flower that had a bulbous root, was likewise put at the same time all under water, some two or three fingers deep; and within seven days sprouted, and continued long after further grow. ing. There were also put in, a beet-root; a borageroot, and a radish-root, which had all their leaves cut almost close to the roots; and within six weeks had fair leaves; and so continued till the end of November.
409. NOTE, that if roots, or peas, or flowers, may
be accelerated in their coming and ripening, there is a double profit; the one in the high price that those things bear when they come early: the other in the swiftness of their returns: for in some grounds which are strong, you shall have a radish, etc. come in a month, that in other grounds will not come in two, and so make double returns.
410. WHEAT also was put into the water, and came not forth at all; so as it seemeth there must be some strength and bulk in the body put into the water, as it is in roots; for grains, or seeds, the cold of the water will mortify. But casually some wheat lay under the pan, which was somewhat moistened by the suing of the pan; which in six weeks, as aforesaid, looked mouldy to the eye, but it was sprouted forth half a finger's length.
411. IT seemeth by these instances of water, that for nourishment the water is almost all in all, and that the earth doth but keep the plant upright, and save it from over-heat and over-cold; and therefore is a comfortable experiment for good drinkers. It proveth also that our former opinion, that drink incorporate with flesh or roots, as in capon-beer, etc. will nourish more easily, than meat and drink taken severally.
412. THE housing of plants, I conceive, will both accelerate germination, and bring forth flowers and plants in the colder seasons: and as we house hotcountry plants, as lemons, oranges, myrtles, to savę them; so we may house our own country plants, to forward them, and make them come in the cold seasons; in such sort, that you may have, violets, strawberries, peas, all winter: so that you sow or remove them at fit times. This experiment is to be referred unto the comforting of the spirit of the plant by warmth, as well as housing their boughs, etc. So then the means to accelerate germination, are in particular eight, in general three.
Experiments in consort touching the putting back or retardation of germination.
413. To make roses, or other flowers come late, it is an experiment of pleasure. For the ancients
esteemed much of rosa sera. And indeed the November rose is the sweetest, having been less exhaled by the sun. The means are these. First, the cutting off their tops immediately after they have done bearing; and then they will come again the same year about November: but they will not come just on the tops where they were cut, but out of those shoots which were, as it were, water boughs. The cause is, for that the sap, which otherwise would have fed the top, though after bearing, will, by the discharge of that, divert unto the side sprouts; and they will come to bear, but later.
414. THE second is the pulling off the buds of the rose, when they are newly knotted; for then the side branches will bear. The cause is the same with the former; for cutting off the tops, and pulling off the buds, work the same effect, in retention of the sap for a time, and diversion of it to the sprouts that were not so forward.
415. THE third is the cutting off some few of the top boughs in the spring time, but suffering the lower boughs to grow on. The cause is, for that the boughs do help to draw up the sap more strongly; and we see that in polling of trees, many do use to leave a bough or two on the top, to help to draw up the sap. And it is reported also, that if you graft upon the bough of a tree, and cut off some of the old boughs, the new cions will perish.
416. THE fourth is by laying the roots bare about Christmas some days. The cause is plain, for that it doth arrest the sap from going upwards for a time; which arrest is afterwards released by the covering of the root again with earth; and then the sap getteth up, but later.
417. THE fifth is the removing of the tree some month before it buddeth. The cause is, for that some time will be required after the remove for the re-settling, before it can draw the juice; and that time being lost, the blossom must needs come forth later.
418. THE sixth is the grafting of roses in May, which commonly gardeners do not till July; and then
they bear not till the next year; but if you graft them in May, they will bear the same year, but late.
419. THE seventh is the girding of the body of the tree about with some pack-thread; for that also in a degree restraineth the sap, and maketh it come up more late and more slowly.
420. THE eighth is the planting of them in a shade, or in a hedge; the cause is, partly the keeping out of the sun, which hasteneth the sap to rise; and partly the robbing of them of nourishment by the stuff in the hedge. These means may be practised upon other, both trees and flowers, mutatis mutandis.
421. MEN have entertained a conceit that sheweth prettily; namely, that if you graft a late-coming fruit upon a stock of a fruit-tree that cometh early, the graft will bear fruit early; as a peach upon a cherry; and contrariwise, if an early-coming fruit upon a stock of a fruit-tree that cometh late, the graft will bear fruit late; as a cherry upon a peach. But these are but imaginations, and untrue. The cause is, for that the cion over-ruleth the stock quite; and the stock is but passive only, and giveth aliment, but no motion to the graft.
Experiments in consort touching the melioration of fruits, trees, and plants.
WE will speak now, how to make fruits, flowers, and roots larger, in more plenty, and sweeter than they use to be; and how to make the trees themselves more tall, more spread, and more hasty and sudden than they use to be. Wherein there is no doubt but the former experiments of acceleration will serve much to these purposes. And again, that these experiments, which we shall now set down, do serve also for acceleration, because both effects proceed from the increase of vigour in the tree; but yet to avoid confusion, and because some of the means are more proper for the one effect, and some for the other, we will handle them apart.
422. It is an assured experience, that an heap of flint or stone, laid about the bottom of a wild tree, as an oak, elm, ash, etc. upon the first planting, doth
make it prosper double as much as without it. The cause is, for that it retaineth the moisture which falleth at any time upon the tree, and suffereth it not to be exhaled by the sun. Again, it keepeth the tree warm from cold blasts and frosts, as it were in an house. It may be also there is somewhat in the keeping of it steady at the first. Query, If laying of straw some height about the body of a tree, will not make the tree forwards. For though the root giveth the sap, yet it is the body that draweth it. But you must note, that if you lay stones about the stalk of lettuce, or other plants that are more soft, it will over-moisten the roots, so as the worms will eat them.
423. A TREE, at the first setting, should not be shaken, until it hath taken root fully and therefore some have put two little forks about the bottom of their trees to keep them upright; but after a year's rooting, then shaking doth the tree good, by loosening of the earth, and, perhaps, by exercising, as it were, and stirring the sap of the tree.
424. GENERALLY the cutting away of boughs and suckers at the root and body doth make trees grow high; and contrariwise, the polling and cutting of the top maketh them grow spread and bushy. As we see in pollards, etc.
425. IT is reported, that to make hasty-growing coppice woods, the way is, to take willow, sallow, poplar, alder, of some seven years growth; and to set them, not upright, but aslope, a reasonable depth under the ground; and then instead of one root they will put forth many, and so carry more shoots upon
a stem.
426. WHEN you would have many new roots of fruit trees, take a low tree and bow it, and lay all his branches aflat upon the ground, and cast earth upon them; and every twig will take root. And this is a very profitable experiment for costly trees, for the boughs will make stocks without charge; such as are apricots, peaches, almonds, cornelians, mulberries, figs, etc. The like is continually practised with vines, roses, musk-roses, etc.

Zhishan Park 芝山公園
Located at the junction of Section 1 of Zhicheng Road and Yusheng Street in Shilin District, beside Shuangxi River, this vast nature Park is thoughtfully installed with ecological features and culture-historical relics. The Park got its name because its landscape is similar to that of Zhishan in Fujian's Zhangzhou, whose people came to settle in northern Tamsui and Shilin during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. Historical monuments abound in the Park, with prehistoric cultural icons, including those of the Dabenkeng, Zhishanyan, Yuanshan and Botanical Garden eras, as well as the enchanting history and culture of the Qing Dynasty, Japanese Colonial period and Nationalist government. There is a century-old temple "Huiji Temple" in the Park, which was built in the 17th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty. In 1979, the temple was designated as a Class 3 historical monument by the Ministry of the Interior, in which the main deity is Kai-Zhang-Sheng-Wang (Sacred Prince, Developer of Zhangzhou). Due to the fact that the Park is a well-preserved historical site, many ancient trees can be found here, including the icon of the Park, a 300-year-old Camphor tree grown next to the Yunong Reading Room. The extended weathering process has caused the landforms in the Park to figure various quaint sculptural formations, such as Elephant Rock, Cavity Rock, Onion Rock, Giant Rock and Snake Frog Rock, which are all excellent geological educational materials.

(Harlem) Shake It Up: Tracking and tackling the seismic trend
Cat Zakrzewski/The Daily Northwestern
Northwestern students jam to the Harlem Shake in SPAC Gymnasium to show off their school pride before the men's basketball game later that night. The Harlem Shake is a song by Baauer, a Brooklyn-based DJ, and thousands of renditions of the dance have been added to the Internet.
Stephanie Haines, Development Editor
Students of all Northwestern media outlets rushed to the scene Sunday to film the NU version of the Harlem Shake video phenomenon. It is no secret SPAC gymnasium hosted about 100 NU students participating in the Wildcat version of the hyper-fashionable dance.
"Originally it was obviously going viral across the country, and we got a plea from ASG saying, 'What's a good way to make something viral?'" said Alex Pezeshki, Weinberg senior and one of the coordinators of the event. "So we made a campus video to include everyone, and it just worked well."
Among the crazy costumes and the silly dance moves, the NU rendition looked similar to the thousands of other Harlem Shake meme videos: One person in a crowd starts dancing, seemingly unnoticed, and then at the "drop," a jump cut shows the rest of the crowd dancing along. For Sunday's version, Willie the Wildcat and Burgwell Howard, assistant vice president for student engagement, danced by themselves in the middle of a basketball court during a game.
"We tried to call it the 'Purple Shake,' so we could have more purple pride," said Weinberg senior Henri Pierre-Jacques, another coordinator of the event. "And the ones we've seen don't have administration, so getting Burgie was a big deal for us because we think that shows more support from Northwestern itself, and that's a big difference."
Howard danced proudly at the front of the crowd, blazoning his NU pride.
This, however, is not the only NU version of the trend. Plenty of other student groups created their own renditions. The NU Swim Team created a version that "went viral." Despite its more than 13,000 views, it was taken down after the athletic department intervened.
But what is the Harlem Shake? What does the video trend have to do with the dance? And why is it garnering such success?
According to The Root, an online black culture magazine, the Harlem Shake is a dance that originated in the 1980s in Harlem, N.Y.
The version seen in recent videos is not exactly true to its origins.
"The old-school Harlem Shake is a back and forth kind of dance, and the new one is more of an, I guess, Bernie type where you move your body back and forth up in the air," Pierre-Jacques said. "Some people do it more sexual than others."
In 2012, DJ Baauer of Brooklyn released a song called "Harlem Shake," which gained popularity among electronic music enthusiasts. The music genre became known as "trap," a southern-crunk type dominated by Waka Flocka, Young Jeezy, Lex Luger and Gucci Mane.
The YouTube craze became even more of a fad when comic Filthy Frank posted a video to the song. Since Feb. 2, it has garnered 4.6 million views on YouTube and inspired countless spinoffs.
Some people believe the Harlem Shake is a craze simply because it is short and easy to film.
"It's fun to see your friends in it," said Victor Shao, president of Associated Student Government and a participant dancer in the NU Harlem Shake.
Some people say once the phenomenon reaches news media, it will dwindle in popularity. The "Today Show" filmed hosts Al Roker, Matt Lauer and some others dancing their version Feb. 12.
"It's just really goofy," Pezeshki said. "The music itself is like the new 'Gangnam Style' or 'Teach me how to Dougie' or something like that. The drop is crazy. And everyone just does something crazy."
The craze blazes on for now. From college students to puppies, soldiers to football players in locker rooms, the song and dance still captivate our attention. Recently, after a Fashion Week show, Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn elevated the Harlem Shake to supermodel status.
But are these renditions the real Harlem Shake?
News outlets such as the Huffington Post and the Daily Beast reported on a video directed by Chris McGuire that surveyed actual Harlem dwellers about their thoughts on the viral video.
The Harlem residents react with a little disdain and confusion. One passerby describes the dancers' movements in the videos as just "humping," as opposed to the real Harlem Shake, a back-and-forth art form of dancing that holds strong roots in the Manhattan neighborhood. One woman explains that DJ Baauer's song is just a work he titled "Harlem Shake" — not actually the Harlem Shake.
If you watch the video, you can't help but feel a bit bad for being susceptible to such a widespread phenomenon that "mocks" the Harlem culture, as the people surveyed in the video say. It is never right in any situation to mock a culture, no matter if you think what you are doing is harmless. This insight to the real people of Harlem takes away the humor in the videos.
However, if you do watch the reaction video, what is amazing is the overwhelming sense of pride the people of Harlem possess from being born, raised or living in the dynamic Manhattan neighborhood. It makes you wish you lived in Harlem yourself. "Don't come to Harlem with that," the people surveyed said about the viral Harlem Shake. I wouldn't. As the people of Harlem performed the true Harlem Shake dance, they swayed and grooved in a way no outsider could achieve.

Hi! I'm new to this forum (my husband has been here for a while now, though).
I was wondering if anyone knew anything about Curse Free TV & how well it did or did not work with Home Theater equipment.
We have a 6.1 setup, if that information helps at all.
I read a review about a competing product (TV Guardian)and it said that it would mute out words & phrases in the front speakers, but not the rear.
We have a couple younger boys in our house & there are a number of movies that they would enjoy watching but for the language in them.
I appreciate any help any of you can give this newbie!
I don't have one of these, but I know some folks who do, and just looked up some info online.
This would work OK if the movies in question are on VHS. These little gizmos only have RCA and coax pass-throughs, so only analog signals can be filtered.
In those cases, it would work for a 6 channel setup, but if using a digital source, you wouldn't be able to use it at all.
Your only choice would be to connect the gizmo from your DVD players analog outputs. But in that case you'd only be able to use Pro Logic playback.....no DD or DTS.


The hotel is equipped with sputnik television, swimming pool, sauna, massage room and restaurant. You can also make international calls.
Apartment is equipped with conditioner and Wi-Fi internet. In room functions mini-bars. We will regale with Georgian and European dishes. We offer supper accompanied by Georgian-Traditional dances. Unforgettable show for tourists every day.

Anyone notice, on the One show (on BBC1) last night the old fella who met up with his old girlfriend of 65 years ago was driving round in a mint, white 1984 Vauxhall Cavalier SRi.
I've not seen a cavalier on the road for about 10-15 years!!
Nice spot. Bet it sounded fantastic especially on the first start this morning. Never seen it before and we're not far from the FedEx.
Never seen it before and we're not far from the FedEx.
I live in Silverdale and work in Tunstall, I've seen it a few times around town, have you ever clocked the local Red Ford Gran Torino? (a-la Starsky & Hutch complete with white stripe) I've followed it through the Chesterton Maccy's drive through a few times but never got the chance to speak to the owner who seems surprisingly young from apperance.
Bit of a late upload. 1 of 5 I believe? Had 3 signatures on the boot.
All is forgiven Japan, bring back scientific whaling as that deserves to be harpooned, for scientific reasons off course.
At the services on the way to York. Not so keen on the colour if I'm honest. Crap parking as well.
Love the car, shame he can't park.
To be fair those bays are small and that would fill a bay and overlap, meaning any car parking next to it would no doubt smash there door into it, so you can hardly blame the guy.
If parking bays were bigger or people had a lot more respect for other peoples property than people with nice cars or wider cars would not feel the need to park defensively.
I personally always go and look for a nice space as generally there is always an edge or end space or just park very far away across two.
I have to admit I am still not keen on new shape, much prefer my classic Vantage from both front and rear.
Shame others have no care for the cars next to them.
Tbh, I'd park a £200K+ car like that too.
Turbo toaster branching out into JDM?
Why? Is there something wrong with either your eyes or brain?
Plenty of spaces = freedom to take up 2, IMO*. Parked decently far away, too. Though even if you do park with nobody in sight there'll almost always be someone parked right next to you when you come back.
*Wouldn't ever do it myself in fear of retribution.

Hammer Chillers: Series One (Audio Media Review)
Posted by Harvey Chartrand | Jul 30, 2013 | Reviews, Slider | 0
Six full-cast original audio dramas from Hammer Films were released on July 26, marking Hammer's first-ever excursion into audio horror. Hammer Chillers: Series One presents all-new contemporary tales of unease in the tradition of the 1980 Hammer's House of Horrors TV anthology series, but aimed at the 21st century listener. The episodes are of a uniform high quality, well written, produced and acted and at times, indeed… quite chilling if one is willing to meet the production halfway.
The plots spring from the twisted minds of acclaimed British screenwriters Stephen Volk (Ken Russell's Gothic) and Stephen Gallagher (Eleventh Hour), and award-winning horror novelists Christopher Fowler (The Bryant and May mysteries – taken from the files of the Peculiar Crimes Unit) and Mark Morris (The Deluge, The Black), among others.
With a running time of 212 minutes, Hammer Chillers is releasing as a digipack across four CDs, and includes free downloads and a bonus documentary.
Here is the episode lineup:
THE BOX –
The Box is an underwater helicopter escape simulator for prospective oil rig workers. Those candidates who are inside the test device are seeing spooky things when they're submerged in a giant water tank, and won't talk about them when they come out. The secret of The Box is very unsettling, and this episode really got under my skin. The story by Stephen Gallagher is handled with the utmost realism: the attention to technical detail is thoroughly convincing. Actor Con O'Neill – who plays The Box's operator – is very good at conveying a steadily mounting fear bursting into blind panic.
THE FIXATION –
When Ian Hibbert witnesses a hoodlum dumping a bin of rubbish outside his house, he decides enough is enough. But Ian discovers, to his detriment, that someone – or something – doesn't want him to clean up. The Fixation could best be summed up as Basil Fawlty Meets Ramsey Campbell. An irritable busybody discovers the awful truth behind the decline of his inner-city neighborhood. Actor Miles Jupp really nails Hibbert's exasperation and blindness to escalating danger. This is a taut tale, well told by Mark Morris.
STICKS AND STONES –
Neil Stanley has a nice house, a nice wife, and an overall a nice life. But Neil has a secret: he's an internet troll. When he begins trolling talent-show contestant Sam Pinker, his threats begin to come true. Is it Neil, or is something else to blame? Written by stand-up comedian Robin Ince, Sticks and Stones is the most relentlessly sadistic of the six episodes. Certain images conjured are enough to make the listener wince with disgust. Alex Lowe (Haunted) plays Neil Stanley as a gibbering lunatic.
THE DEVIL IN THE DARKNESS –
English guest worker Mia takes the old elevator in the decaying St. Petersburg International Archive, which is being emptied floor by floor. While descending with only one other passenger – Andrei, an electrician – the lift jams and the two are trapped inside for the weekend. Will no one come to their aid? They begin to hear strange voices rising in a deranged chorus from the basement. Are supernatural forces trapping Mia and Andrei? Or is the truth even more terrifying? The Devil in the Darkness – by Christopher Fowler – is the longest and most depressing of the Hammer Chillers. The twist ending in this two-character struggle for survival is a real sting in the tale, leading the listener to question all the events that came before. English actor Dylan Charles (who plays Andrei) impresses, never losing his thick Russian accent.
SPANISH LADIES –
Phil doesn't need a girlfriend, or so his overbearing Mother, who intends to look after him forever, tells him. But when Mummy discovers that her best friend, Renee from Friday Night Bingo, is carrying on with her darling boy, she exacts a terrible revenge… and mother-smothered Phil lashes out. Easily, this episode of Hammer Chillers is one that most resembles one of the more ghoulish Tales from the Crypt entries. Spanish Ladies is set in 1976, the year Hammer's To the Devil a Daughter was released… and the macabre doings are reminiscent of earlier Hammer productions such as Paranoiac (1963) and The Nanny (1965).
DON'T GO THERE –
John Daulby's son is lying in a coma in a hospital on a Greek holiday island. John enters the world of young ravers to get to the truth, and meets the enigmatic and beautiful Stheno. However, he realizes that she may just be a Greek myth come to life… Don 't Go There (written by Stephen Volk) is an outstanding episode of Hammer Chillers and my personal favourite of the series, as it's a thoroughly modern take on Hammer's The Gorgon (1964). Truly great performances by Tony Gardner (Cockneys vs Zombies) as the prudish John Daulby and Lizzie Roper as his miserable wife Laura, and Daphne Alexander is also outstanding as the Greek temptress Stheno. Don't Go There is a cunningly well crafted tale of exotic horror.
DISC FOUR
DOCUMENTARY FEATURE – A 66-minute behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of Hammer Chillers, presented by Ruth Barnes and produced by Simon Barnard.
Even the weakest of these full-cast audio dramas is first-rate. Hammer Chillers: Series One is a landmark in audio horror; and comes highly recommended. Episodes are available to download at www.hammerchillers.com.

"I believe deeply that managing people is a privilege. I work toward this belief every single day as CEO. Our Kronos family is built on a foundation of trust and transparency, which has been instrumental to our success. I am exceptionally proud to be a Kronite thanks to so many inspiring co-workers."
Kronos CEO Aron Ain fiercely contends that great businesses are powered by great people and that there is a direct link between employee engagement, customer satisfaction, and business success – and he has proof. Since becoming CEO in 2005, Ain and team have put a laser focus on employee engagement as a growth strategy and saw worldwide employee engagement scores skyrocket as revenue nearly tripled to $1.4 billion.
Ain joined Kronos in 1979 and – as the only company he's ever worked for – has played a role in nearly every functional department at the company, helping to build a global enterprise software powerhouse. With more than 35,000 organizations using Kronos solutions across 100+ countries, Kronos is a leading global provider of workforce management and human capital management cloud solutions.
Regarded as a pioneer in workforce management and human capital management, Ain has been instrumental in revolutionizing the way organizations manage their workforces with a new generation of products and services that empower employees to work smarter, work their way, and work in a modern cloud. Kronos industry-leading cloud, analytics, and mobile technologies are designed to serve global customer needs, increase productivity, manage compliance risk, and drive employee engagement.
As a multiyear recipient of Glassdoor's Top CEOs, Ain believes anything is possible when people are inspired and that great management is the single largest component that adds to shareholder value and company performance. In recognition of Ain's visionary leadership, entrepreneurial spirit, and personal commitment to business and the community, he has been awarded numerous prestigious awards, including being named the inaugural recipient of the "Ray Stata Leadership and Innovation Award" from the Massachusetts High Technology Council, "CEO of the Year" by the Mass Technology Leadership Council, and "Entrepreneur of the Year" by Ernst & Young.
Under Ain's leadership, Kronos continues to be recognized for its innovative product offerings, exceptional services, and energized Top Place to Work corporate culture around the world. He has been profiled by The New York Times about "The Incalculable Value of a Good Boss" and was featured in both Harvard Business Review and the HBR IdeaCast podcast series discussing Kronos' unique outlook on the employee experience and how the company works diligently to be a great employer. This continued recognition for the company's award-winning culture culminated in the 2018 release of Ain's debut book, "WorkInspired: How to Build an Organization Where Everyone Loves to Work," which chronicles the Kronos employee engagement journey and imparts lessons Ain has learned for senior leaders, HR professionals, and people managers to turn employee engagement into a strategic weapon.
Passionate about delivering the experience that customers expect, Ain asserts that employee retention leads to loyal and satisfied customers. According to Ain, "Kronites who feel valued stay longer and develop a deeper understanding of and stronger relationships with our customers. It is their experience and knowledge that allows Kronos to deliver incredibly innovative products and a superior customer experience." Ain's focus on the customer experience is the reason that a customer-first orientation is a core value intricately woven into the fabric of the company.
Kronos has achieved tremendous global growth under Ain's direction, with operations and market leadership throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, and Latin America. As a result of driving the company's global expansion, traveling the world to spend time with customers and partners, and leading a multinational software company, Ain is well-versed on the complexities of managing a global workforce. He is frequently asked to share his experiences by speaking about entrepreneurship and the skills necessary to lead a successful global organization.
Ain believes that being an active participant in the broader community brings balance to his life and allows him to give back in recognition of all the guidance he has received over his career. Ain serves on the Board of Trustees of his alma mater, Hamilton College, in Clinton, New York, is a member of the Board of Directors at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Mass., and serves as a member of the Board of Directors at Combined Jewish Philanthropies (CJP) in Boston, Mass. Ain is also an active member of several other community organizations and business groups, including the Massachusetts High Technology Council, where Ain serves as the current Council Chairman.
In addition to a bachelor's degree in economics and government from Hamilton College, Ain has participated in a series of executive education programs, including the AEA/Stanford Executive Institute at Stanford University.

I remember going to Memphis, Tennessee by 7 car rental when I was very young. We had family that lived in Tennessee not far from Memphis and I was always disappointed that we never made it to Graceland. However, we seemed to always have a good time going to various sporting events in Memphis. Pick up a car rental from Memphis Airport for your next visit to the United States.
The Memphis Grizzlies are an NBA team with quite the impressive arena. Their Arena, the FedExForum, is the largest public building construction project in Memphis history. Basketball games are fun and entertaining family activities in Memphis by 7 seater car rental.
If you happen to be visiting Memphis during the month of May be prepared to sweat. Memphis can be incredibly hot during the summer months, but besides that you can enjoy some amazing music. I attended an outdoor concert here many years ago and it was wonderful. The Memphis in May International Festival features more than 40 musicians on multiple stages over three days. Events of the festival include a Barbecue Cooking Contest, an air show, and a performance by the Memphis Symphony Orchestra.
For a visit to Memphis any old time of the year you'll have to settle for its local establishments, which aren't too shabby, especially if you like the blues. Places like Wild Bill's Lounge uphold the city's Soul reputation; Minglewood Hall represents the new face of the city's music scene, and the always popular Beale Street establishments serve up good southern blues music 7 nights a week.

The last 40 or so Snipes have executed fine. So, hopefully there will be no more trouble with Snipes today. Are coder will check things out hopefully by tomorrow to see what happened earlier today with those three Snipes. I'll post another update when I find something out.
EBay added a new special notice page that is shown when bidding on tickets, which prevented at least one snipe from executing recently. We have updated our sniper engine to be able to work through this new notice page. So, there should be no more potential trouble when sniping tickets, at least unless/until they significantly change the special notice page in the future or add a new one, which we will again update for. We are sorry for the missed snipe(s) that occurred before we updated. Good luck with your sniping.
EBay was having trouble on the 1st, eBay users were having trouble logging in and with a couple other things. I saw that there were a couple strange response pages with the message - "System Problem Sorry, we are experiencing a technical problem. Please click the Back button of your browser and try again.", but luckily it looks like the maximum bids were exceeded for them anyway. So, it didn't cause any trouble for us in the end. I believe it is supposed to be taken care of now.
