Banks Mill resident Mary Smith is an artist and workshop facilitator and at the beginning of this year came up with the idea of challenging herself to paint one painting per day for a whole year in order to raise funds and awareness for sufferers of Stroke and Dementia.
Both of these causes are close to Mary's heart as her mother, Joan Scarratt, passed away earlier this year having suffered multiple strokes and dementia.
Mary creates her paintings from her studio at Banks Mill and then sells them at any events she exhibits at, most recently Melbourne Festival and later in November at our Open Studios & Artisan Fair event. At the Open Studios, on 24-26 November you can meet Mary and chat to her about the challenge; she will showcase small canvas prints of a selection of the paintings which people can purchase on the day with 100% of proceeds being donated immediately to the charities – the buyer can specify which charity they'd like to donate to, or both.
At the beginning of 2018 Mary will then showcase all 365 original paintings, along with canvas copies which will all be for sale, again with 100% of the proceeds going to the two charities.

Franz SCHUBERT (1797–1828)
Winterreise Op. 89, D. 911 (1827)
Johan Reuter (bass-baritone)
Copenhagen String Quartet (transcription for string quartet by Richard Krug)
rec. June 2014, Operaen, Copenhagen
Sung texts enclosed
DANACORD DACOCD759 [76:00]
Yet another Winterreise! Is there room for one more on the market? Can this one compete with the legendary greats? YES! There is room for it! It is competitive! Firstly: Winterreise is such a marvellous cycle that you always return to it with pleasure. Secondly: I have more than thirty recordings of it and not one is bad. And I have heard it in live performances many times and not one was bad. It seems that this work inspires singers to bring out the best of themselves. Of course it is possible to have one recording of Winterreise and be fully satisfied with that. It took many years before I added another to my first Fischer-Dieskau, but when I did I realized that different singers find different things in the songs—and that also enriches my experience of them.
Regarding this latest addition, it stands out from all the others in one specific respect: it is the first where the piano is replaced by a string quartet. And this makes a difference. It is the same as watching a photo of a beautiful scenery in black and white and then see it on a colour photo. A good pianist with a good piano can conjure forth fifty shades of grey, yes, even more, but the string quartet brings forth other nuances as well. And not even the most masterly pianist can produce a seamless legato to challenge what a string group can do. Take the opening of Winterreise. The intro to Gute Nacht is always a bit bumpy in the piano version, while the strings level the bumps. Whether this is good or bad is another question, but it makes a difference and it makes you sit up and listen. It is a new perspective. In this case Johan Reuter draws the consequences of the different approach and sings Fremd bin ich eingezogen, Fremd zieh' ich wieder aus with a smooth soft legato. Right or wrong? In the next song, Die Wetterfahne, the wind plays with the weathervane and the tremolo strings illustrate this graphically. In the third song, Gefror'ne Tränen—frozen drops are falling down from my cheeks—we hear the frozen tears falling in the string accompaniment. "At the well by the gate there stands a linden tree, I dreamed in its shadow many a sweet dream". Müller's idyll becomes even more wrapped up in a rosy shimmer with the help of the strings in the first stanza of Der Lindenbaum and Reuter's legato singing is extremely beautiful.
I could go on and point to many instances of expressive word-painting or dramatic underlining of situations, but let me just highlight two more situations. Frühlingstraum gets in this version a ländler-like Viennese lilt. One can almost imagine a Schrammelquartett in the background, although this of course is an anachronism. And in the last song, Der Leiermann, the fateful atmosphere is enhanced by the strings imitating the hurdy-gurdy.
The sum of all this is a fascinating journey in a wintry landscape where the grayscale is complemented by shades of, let us say, blue and brown and in the retrospective songs—Der Lindenbaum, Frühlingstraum—lighter colours. I am sure some listeners will react negatively to this modernisation, while others, like myself, will feel that this is an attempt to regard the songs from a somewhat different perspective but with full respect for Schubert's intentions.
So much for the accompaniment. The singing is of course even more important. Johan Reuter is a serious artist who would not dream of making something gimmicky of Die Winterreise. He is Danish, and has been a soloist at the Royal Danish Opera since 1996 in a large repertoire. But today he is in demand all over the world, in particular as a Wagner singer. Just a few months ago I heard him as a magnificent Holländer in Helsinki. From the first song in the present recording I was reminded of another great Wagnerian who also was a masterly Lieder singer: Hans Hotter. Reuter has the same timbre and the same darkness of tone, and like his legendary predecessor he can scale down his big instrument to chamber size. I have already mentioned his superb legato singing, and time and again during my listening sitting I jotted down on my pad "restraint", "careful and expressive", "touching'", "deeply gripping". The last notation concerned his marvellous reading of Die Nebensonnen, the penultimate song of the cycle, where death approaches. In Celia Sgroi's prose translation it reads:
I saw three suns in the sky,
Stared at them hard for a long time;
And they stayed there so stubbornly
That it seemed they didn't want to leave me.
Ah, you are not my suns!
Go, look into someone else's face!
Yes, recently I, too, had three
But now the best two have gone down.
If only the third would also set!
I will feel better in the dark.
But as a Wagnerian Reuter can also wring the last drop of drama out of the texts—and the last desperate joy in Die Post. But he soon realizes: "The post does not bring a letter for you". To my ears he never puts a foot wrong. I was at first a bit dubious about his tempo in Wasserflut. But I checked the timings of the song on some 28 recordings and Reuter at 4:26 is far from extreme. The fastest was Lotte Lehmann (3:25) followed by Brigitte Fassbaender (3:47). The slowest by some margin was Siegfried Lorenz (5:19)! Reuter is somewhat below the average but not much, and I believe it was his marvellous legato singing that fooled me to believe it was too slow.
So here we are with a very special recording of Die Winterreise, worthy to rub shoulders with Hüsch, Hotter, Fischer-Dieskau, Bär and Goerne. I repeat that the string quartet accompaniment may not be to everyone's taste, but the playing of the eminent Copenhagen String Quartet is beyond criticism, and the arrangement by the quartet's cellist Richard Krug is skilled, inventive and does in no way violate Schubert's intentions. I urge every Schubert enthusiast to give this disc a listen. You will not regret it!

3 Things We Learned: W-League Grand Final
By Janakan Seemampillai Mar 21 2020 3:04PM
Mar 21 2020 3:04PM
The invincibles showed why they are invincible. Melbourne City beat Sydney FC 1-0 to complete their unbeaten season. Four titles in five years for the best club in the land.
Melbourne City are the benchmark
Rather than complain they had six Matildas and other international stars. Let's admire the fact City are a club that takes the women's game seriously.
Their facilities and female program is world class.
They take the women's game seriously and as a result they will reap the rewards. Four titles in five years says it all.
On the field today their class shone through despite a brave effort from Sydney FC. Steph Catley wasn't her usual fluent self but she performed in the big moments. Her goal was lucky but it was just reward for a player who always makes things happen.
Ellie Carpenter ran hard all night. Yukari Kinga showed her class when she needed too. Kyah Simon was strong in the middle.
Essentially City's entire program won them the game tonight.
2. Sydney FC's pressure was first class
Sydney FC's game plan was effective. They pressed hard and put pressure on City leading to turnovers and disconnect amongst the usually fluent City players.
Pressure is already there in a grand final, but Sydney FC took it to another level. It kept them in the game for the most part.
As the game opened up and City were tired and frustrated, the Sky Blues got themselves back into the game.
Unfortunately for Sydney FC it wasn't enough with City holding on for another win.
3. Natasha Dowie has a ready made career when she retires
While the game wasn't of the highest quality, arguably the best performance was in the commentary box where Melbourne Victory star Natasha Dowie gave some fabulous insight into the game.
A player known for her intelligence and excellent ability to read the play, Dowie was able to provide some tactical analysis as well as help fans understand decisions made by players and coaches alike.
It is always refreshing when a recent player can help fans at home relate to the action. Dowie is well respected and knows her stuff. Her knowledge came through loud and clear and the best part was she delivered it with professionalism.
We need more astute thinkers in the commentary box and Dowie is someone who has the brains to help drive the women's game forward.
What she has done on the field speaks volumes but her intelligent and practical commentary will make the powers that be listen. That is vital. We need females with credibility to speak up.
Dowie behind the microphone is a wonderful thing for the women's game.

Richie McDonald of Lonestar
by Dan MacIntosh
Lonestar had quite a run around the turn of the century. Their 1999 single "Amazed" spent 30 weeks climbing the Hot 100 until finally landing at #1 for two weeks in March, 2000, becoming the first country song to top the chart since "Islands in the Stream." The song has crossed borders as well as genres: in the UK, it remains the most popular selection for the first dance at wedding receptions (according to PRS For Music, which surveyed DJs to find out). A string of Country #1s followed: "Smile," "What About Now," "Tell Her." Their next chart-topper, "I'm Already There," took on a life of its own after 9/11 when many families were separated by war's cruel fate.
Formed in 1992, Lonestar - lead singer Richie McDonald, guitarist Michael Britt, drummer Keech Rainwater, keyboardist Dean Sams and bass player John Rich (since departed for Big & Rich) - worked up songs and played the bars before releasing their first album in 1995, scoring their first Country #1 with the lighthearted "No News." In 2007, lead singer Richie McDonald left for a solo career, but he has since returned to the fold. In April, 2013, Lonestar played before a huge crowd at California's Stagecoach festival where they not only played many of their biggest hits, but also sang some songs from Life as We Know It, the band's first studio album since Richie's return.
Dan MacIntosh (Songfacts): I'd like to get your thoughts on some of your more famous songs. It's been 20 years, and that's a long time for any band to be together. It's a long time these days for any marriage to last.
Richie McDonald: No doubt.
Songfacts: "Amazed" is probably your signature song. Do you still enjoy singing that song? And what is it that song means to you?
McDonald: Well, I absolutely still enjoy singing it. I know Michael Britt and Dean Sams enjoy performing it every night, as well. Artists wait for a song like that to come along that can take their career to another level, and that song did that for Lonestar, and that's something that we'll never forget. And it's not just the impact that it had on our careers, but the impact that it has on the fans. I mean, 10 years later it still has the same effect.
That song to me is just a classic, timeless song. And it is that song that took Lonestar to another level. We will never, ever get tired of playing that song, just because we still have fans come up to us night after night saying that's the song they got married to, the song they use on their anniversary. That's what music is supposed to be about: if you can get in touch with people's emotions, you can become a part of their story, as well. We've made an impact on people's lives and that means more than anything to us.
Songfacts: I can't imagine what it's like as an artist to think that a song that I performed would be the first dance at somebody's wedding. But I'm sure that that's one of those songs that must get played at countless wedding receptions.
McDonald: Still to this day. I have a friend who's a DJ and he says he plays it at every single wedding that he performs at. The problem is that sometimes you try to recreate that, but you can't recreate that. You've just got to go in; it kind of sets the bar awful high. But I'd love to write another "Amazed" without writing another "Amazed." But "Amazed" was, like you said, our signature song.
But "I'm Already There" was a big song for us, too, being adopted by the men and women in the military back in 2001 after 9/11. And this was a song that I wrote about being away from my family and a song that we could relate to every single night in the band being away from our families. But after 9/11 it took on a whole new meaning, especially with the men and women in the military. They spend years away from their families, and it put things in perspective for us.
But again, that's just the power of music. It's a song that came along at a certain time in the history, and something happened and it left a mark in people's minds. I think we've always had songs that have done that. "My Front Porch Looking In," "Mr. Mom," "No News" - even "No News" is just a quirky little song that we still get tons of requests for. "What About Now." We've had a lot of songs over the years that have made impacts, some bigger than others.
Songfacts: I talk to songwriters a lot, and sometimes a gimmicky song will be their #1 song and they'll have to play this novelty record every show they do for the rest of their lives. So whenever I get to talk to somebody that their most popular songs are also really darn good songs, I just think that's such a blessing.
McDonald: Oh, absolutely.
Songfacts: When you wrote "I'm Already There," did you have any idea that it could be used in other contexts, or were you just thinking about trying to express that feeling of trying to survive separation?
McDonald: I remember to this day, having that conversation with my little 4 year old son Rhett. He was 4, now he's 17. But I remember that night clearly to this day, just hearing that little squeaky voice saying, "Daddy, when you comin' home?" And when you're gone for 6 weeks at that point, you just hang up the phone and you cry and you think, you know what, physically maybe I'm not there, but mentally I'm already there. I'll never forget sitting in that hotel room in Southern California and just thinking, "I'm already there." There's an idea. And that's where it came from.
But it was a way to help me through the separation at the time. Songwriting, for me, a lot of times it's therapy. Just the chance to spill my guts out on a piece of paper or a computer or whatever it is and to put it to music.
You never have an idea that it's going to have an impact, but that's the great thing about country music: it's just, I do what I do. But there's somebody in the Army or the Navy or a truck driver or a pilot out there that basically does the same thing that I do, they're away from their families. But I just had to write about it and express it and then if they feel the same way, that's great. I just never imagine that it's going to touch people the way it does.
Songfacts: Does your son remember that experience when you talk to him now?
McDonald: Yeah, he does. He doesn't forget it. He knows what that song means, even to this day he does.
Songfacts: Is he musical?
McDonald: Yeah. He is. He's a really, really accomplished guitar player at 17 years old. We encourage him to do what he wants to do, and hopefully he gets an education, but continues to grow as a guitar player and follow his dream.
Songfacts: A friend of mine wanted me to talk about her favorite song of yours, which is "I've Gotta Find You."
McDonald: Oh, wow. [Singing], "I've got this dream that won't go away," that was off the Lonely Grill album. That's a song that I wrote with Ron Harbin, a really good friend of mine, and that's one of my favorite songs. Golly, that's so long ago. But what I love about that song is that when we were writing it, Ron goes, "Well, what if we do the verses down here, then you just hop up and do an octave in the chorus?" And he goes, "You can do that, you can sing that. Not too many people can, but you can do it." So that's what we did. I think people always are searching for that one special person, and that's what that song talks about.
Songfacts: Do you have any particular favorites off of the new album?
McDonald: One of my favorites has to be "Just the Rain." To me it's just one of those songs. I wrote it with a co-writer friend of mine, Jeremy Bussey. He came in one day over at my house and he goes, "Man, I've got this idea about when I go back home to Alabama, I drive by my grandparents' house and I just sit there in the front and I sit in my truck and I just look at that front porch and those rocking chairs are still up there. I can still see them there. I see them like it was yesterday. I've got this idea called 'Just the Rain.'" And that's what it talks about - people drop by and see this guy sitting on the front porch and they think he's crazy. And when it starts raining they think it's the rain, but he thinks it's tears.
I love what that song says, and I think a lot of people can relate to it. So many people have lost someone, and if it starts raining, they might think, hey, those are teardrops.
That's one of my favorites, but from beginning to end it's probably my favorite album that we've ever recorded. I like the song, "How Can She Be Everywhere," just because it's rockin', it's quirky, it's just a little left of center. I don't know if the fans will. It kind of reminds me a little bit of "No News," but it's a little edgier. I'm excited for our fans to hear that song and to hear other ones, as well.
"The Countdown," I love the tempo of that and love the edginess of that song, too.
Songfacts: Well, it's so good to hear you say that you like this album so much. I guess we can be a little cynical when we see our favorite groups get back to the original lineups, and we think, 'Oh, they just want to make money.' But this sounds like it's really organic, like you guys really enjoy being together and making music together. As far as I can see you're doing it all for the right reasons.
McDonald: Absolutely. That's one thing that we talked about when we got back together. We said, Look, let's just go have fun and cherish the moment. We had fun last time, before I took a break, but I don't think we really relished the moment. We don't really feel we could look back and remember what we accomplished, because we just didn't take time to enjoy it. So I think this time we're just recording music, having fun doing it, and cherishing every moment night after night, riding on the bus together, and not taking ourselves too seriously.
Songfacts: Well, you have yourself a great evening. I know it's probably pretty late for you there, but I imagine rock & rollers don't go to bed until pretty late anyhow, so I'm not keeping you up too late.
McDonald: No, I'm staring at a computer screen. I'm just working on a song, actually. Work is never done.
Songfacts: So I've interrupted you writing a song. Shame on me.
McDonald: No, I'm actually through. I'm just in Pro Tools tweaking things and making it sound better.

Joanne Williams from Neenah WisconsinI'M ALREADY THERE is so important to me and my grand daughter. My husband died in November of 2007 from lung cancer and we found out that she had a brain tumor in Feb of 2008 and she was real upset that she was missing her PAPA when she would come home from the hospital all the time, and I took that song and told her he was with her all the time even if she couldn't see him or talk to him. He was in her heart and the in hair and all around her keeping her alive. And now that is her song and mine it means a lot to us. She has been cancer free all most 7 years now.

Ventilatory management in extremely low birth weight infants.
The improvement in survival in premature infants associated with the evolution of mechanical ventilation has been accompanied by an increase in ventilator induced lung injury. High frequency ventilation has been shown to reduce the incidence of ventilator induced lung injury and hence chronic lung disease in the very low birth weight infant. The evolution in understanding how to best use high frequency ventilation in this population has prompted us to ask whether similar strategies to optimize lung volumes on conventional mechanical ventilation can minimize chronic lung disease in the neonate. We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of 51 extremely low birth weight infants born in Kingston, Ontario in two epochs, 1990 to 1991 and 1999 to 2000, for ventilatory strategy and outcome. From our review, it is clear that surfactant therapy rapidly changes lung mechanics by improving pulmonary compliance and that lung damage may result if there are not changes in the ventilatory management to reflect the altered compliance. Early ventilation strategies during the apparently stable "honeymoon period" in a patient with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) has significant implications on long term morbidity. In the era prior to the use of surfactant, 30% of infants died and 40% developed chronic lung disease (CLD). Immediately following the use of surfactant , mortality was reduced to 18%, however, the incidence of CLD increased to 78%. In the most recent era, following 10 years of experience with surfactant and mechanical ventilation, morbidity was 17% and CLD 21%. This study demonstrates that a particularly crucial time is in the immediate period following surfactant administration. The use of lower peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) and mean airway pressure (MAP) over the first 24 hours and an increase in the use of synchronous intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) was associated with an improved outcome. The challenge remaining is to determine how to best utilize a conventional mode of ventilation to best optimize lung volume and protect the immature lung.

For you film scholars out there:
I understand the point behind the Musical "South Pacific."
It was about the idiocy that is racism.
I used the video clip (see below) for humor and to point out a point.
Sailors were innocent (for the most part). Times were heady. Facing death, which I know, can make feminists of us all:
"Mommy! Please don't let me die here!"
End of rant.
P.S. If we ban the word, 'Bossy' what follows when we can seriously consider banning any word?
Or Book?
Hunger Games?
As much as I admire Jennifer Lawrence, I do not wish to go there.
"You've Got to Be Carefully Taught" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JjiaRJqKIU)
(sometimes "You've Got to Be Taught" or "Carefully Taught") is a show tune from the 1949 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific.
South Pacific received scrutiny for its commentary regarding relationships between different races and ethnic groups. In particular, "You've Got to Be Carefully Taught" was subject to widespread criticism, judged by some to be too controversial or downright inappropriate for the musical stage.[1] Sung by the character Lieutenant Cable, the song is preceded by a lyric saying racism is "not born in you! It happens after you're born…"
Rodgers and Hammerstein risked the entire South Pacific venture in light of legislative challenges to its decency or supposed Communist agenda. While the show was on a tour of the Southern United States, lawmakers in Georgia introduced a bill outlawing entertainment containing "an underlying philosophy inspired by Moscow."[2] One legislator said that "a song justifying interracial marriage was implicitly a threat to the American way of life."[2] Rodgers and Hammerstein defended their work strongly. James Michener, upon whose stories South Pacific was based, recalled, "The authors replied stubbornly that this number represented why they had wanted to do this play, and that even if it meant the failure of the production, it was going to stay in."[2]

In ARMACAD's newsfeed the articles appear in 3 different ways: in armacad.info home page the articles are sorted by their chronology of appearance by default, e.g. the recent published article appears on the top of the news list of Newsfeed section.
Right next to the Newsfeed you can find the DDL button, which will help the users to see the article by their approaching deadline (DDL = Deadline). This is to say, if today is the penultimate day of any month then by pressing the DDL button on the top you will see the name of the current month and all the articles having the same day as a deadline. Afterwards the user can see the articles having the deadline for the next day, which appears to be the last day of the month.
By going down and looking through the articles having the deadline of the current month the user can see the name of the next month written in big letters and the articles sorted by their deadline order. Overall, the DDL button gives an opportunity to look through the articles of the Newsfeed and know that first appeared articles should be applied as soon as possible. The most important is the surprise that awaits all those who will look through the articles of the DDL section to the bitter end. Once all such articles are done, the users can see "Archive" written in big letters and articles that have expired deadlines sorted by the closest deadline. If there was published an article in ARMACAD web page with application deadline expiring 25 months after the current date then in the DDL section it will appear after going down all the 25 months and only after that the "Archive" section will appear.
Such an opportunity is given to the user to make clear that no article and no opportunity will be missed and assure the fact that visiting ARMACAD page is necessary on daily basis. ARMACAD = Never miss an opportunity!
The third section is called Events. Here the articles are shown according their start date. On the top of the Events section the user will see the articles about events and programs that have the closest launch date. If you click on the Events button today, then on the top you will see the programs that start today then will appear articles about events which start tomorrow and so on. This section does not have an Archive section.
So, all ARMACAD articles appear in Newsfeed section, those articles that have deadlines appear in DDL section and those that have a start date can be found in Events section. If one article has both deadline and the start date then it will appear simultaneously in DDL and Events sections.
For example, if there is an article published about a conference that will launch on any month and for applying there is a deadline then the given article will appear in Newsfeed, DDL and Events sections. If there is an article published about a conference that will have a start day but no deadline, then it will not appear in DDL section but will be seen in Events section. If there is an article published about a scholarship which will have only a deadline, then it will appear first in Newsfeed and then in the DDL section and will not be seen in Events section.
Finally, if there are news and articles that have neither deadline nor start date (such an example is this article about the detailed description of how to use ARMACAD), these articles will appear only in Newsfeed without appearing in DDL and Events sections.

I just got the news that the Jordanian government represented by the Print & Publishing Department will extend its sad and frustrating laws onto online websites, most probably the vast amount of web-based blogs and press sites. Very frustrating, I don't know if my blog on hosted on WordPress will be included as well but it doesn't look like it. So this is a downer for all Jordanian blog based services like Maktoob and others.
From reading the article in today's Al Dustoor, a number of people are threatening legal action if the government starts to actually implement this.
In my opinion, this is a weak 's man try at controlling something that is obviously out of their control. Insecure and totally ridiculous to even talk about. How will Jordan be able to actually advance economically, socially and technologically ever if we prohibit people to think and express freely!

Graphical user interfaces are used in many programs. The command line certainly has its power, but there are some tasks (and some users) for which a GUI is all but essential. Windows has a GUI. Linux has many GUIs. But all these GUIs are incompatible, both programmatically and in what users encounter on their screens. This is a problem for developers who wish to make applications available on multiple platforms, or who merely have a hankering that they may wish to do so at some point in the future. WxWindows is an attempt to resolve these issues.
WxWindows provides a consistent programmatic interface to incompatible GUIs, enabling an application developer to describe its user interface in neutral terms then have it deployed with a Windows, GTK, or Mac GUI, looking just like a native application on each platform. You can consider WxWindows to be some sort of 'meta GUI'.
This talk shows what WxWindows does and how it can be used. It is compared with alternative technologies, discussing advantages and disadvantages. For example Mozilla attempts to solve the cross-platform problem with XUL, which has the advantage that Mozilla looks pretty much the same on all platforms, but the disadvantage that on any platform Mozilla sticks out decidedly from that platform's other apps. A WxWindows program, on the other hand, will look different in each environment, in its chameleon-like attempt to fit in with its surroundings. As a Linux developer WxWindows allows you to develop GUI apps that will run under Windows while you remain in your comfortable Linux surroundings. Or you can write a program for use on Windows now, safe in the knowledge that it can be used on Linux later if needed.
Features include advanced widgets such as checklist boxes, status bars providing menu help text, and even non-graphical tasks such as forking, performed in a cross-platform way. One of its major advantages is the comprehensive documentation, with all of the many, many classes and methods explained in readable terms, as well as a smattering of sample programs. The talk also covers problems that may be encountered, and the limitations of WxWindows. WxWindows can be used from C++, Perl, and Python. There is a small plethora of graphical tools available which can be used for building WxWindows user interfaces (for those that like that sort of thing, anyway - the author avoids GUIs where possible and sticks to writing WxWindows code in 'Vim').


In the current housing environment, there are a number of HUD properties on the market in many areas of town. But what exactly is a HUD property and would purchasing one make sense for you? Gary and Justin Miles have years of experience working with this type of real estate transaction. A HUD property occurs when a homeowner with an FHA or VA insured mortgage is no longer able to meet the payments. The lender then forecloses on the home and is subsequently reimbursed by HUD for what is owed. HUD then becomes the property owner and is highly motivated to recover the loss on the foreclosure claim. HUD then tries to sell the property at market value as quickly as possible.
Gary and Justin Miles have over 45 years of combined experience with HUD sales. They are thoroughly familiar with the ins and outs of the HUD purchasing process including contracting regulations, bidding procedures, and price evaluations.
It is important to work with qualified real estate agents like the Miles when considering a HUD home because an agent must submit your bid for you. Normally, HUD homes are sold in an "Offer Period." At the end of the Offer Period, all offers are opened and, basically, the highest reasonable bid is accepted. If the home isn't sold in the initial Offer Period, Gary and Justin will continue to submit a bid until the home is sold. If your bid is acceptable to HUD, the Miles will help you successfully complete the transaction. In addition they will help you find the best financing for your particular needs, and recommend other strategic partners to help complete the transaction including law firms, accountants, property inspectors, etc.

Back in April we took part in another of these challenges, using rice. This time we played with sand – well actually it was a mixture of sand and old pantry grains left over from our Construction Site Sensory Play that we did nearly a year ago! The idea of the challenge is to just provide the child with the sensory material, and let them play with it however they wish. I placed the sand and grains in a large cookie sheet and invited F to play.
At first he tested out the sand by grabbing handfuls and letting it fall back into the cookie sheet. Then he asked for a stick (actually a single chopstick) so he could draw squiggles and letters in the sand. This wasn't too much of a surprise as we had done this a few days earlier for some alphabet writing practice. After drawing with the stick for a while he swooshed his hand through the sand to see the effect.
Then he asked for some bugs. I thought he meant plastic bugs like we used in our Bug Slime, but no, that wasn't right. He ran off to get his Hexbugs! Hexbugs are little robotic insect toys that we recently used for Painting (seriously cool!) – so I guess he was sort of recreating that with the sand.
The Hexbugs got stuck a lot in the bigger mounds of sand but he still found it fascinating to watch. Just as I was thinking that this might spark a whole new activity if we did it again with less sand, we discovered that little bits of sand were working into the on/off switch of the Hexbugs, so we decided to take them out.
But F wasn't finished with this sand yet. He went and grabbed his tractor and wagon and at this point I knew things would get a little messy. But I pretended to be super-cool mom and not wince every time the sand hit the floor. He asked for a cup and I gave him a teeny tiny one. He tried making little sandcastles but the sand was too dry, so asked for some water. ARGH! But no, super calm me came up with a genius idea (if I do say so myself) to limit the water – by giving it to him in a spray bottle! He enjoyed spraying the water (great fine motor practice) both onto the sand and into the cup.
Then it was back to the tractor. With damp sand. Which didn't stick to the tractor at all. Absolutely not.
Overall I was pretty pleased with how this activity went, and how F brought in elements from previous activities. Yes, sand did spill onto the table and floor, but clean-up was actually pretty quick.


have taken over the years. We have now placed Twitpic in an archived state. GM Specific Models. 2002 Cadillac STS I looked under the hood and popped the cover off the fuse box. Under the lid is a diagram of the fuses with labels. One of them (#24 on my model car) said "DRL" on it. I pulled that fuse and voila!

China Central Television (CCTV) has lashed out at the domestic initial coin offerings (ICOs) and said that ICO activity continues to intensify in spite of the 2017 ban.
CCTV, which is China's highest-level mouthpiece of the government, said during its "Financial News" program that is aired every Monday night that the ban on ICO has not stopped people from engaging in cryptocurrency trading. The ban was issued last September by the People's Bank of China with the objective to safeguard the interests of the citizens by preventing them from trading in cryptocurrencies and ICO.
CCTV slammed the "air coins" phrase used by the Chinese crypto community, which is a reference to token projects that do not have legal backing by registered business entities. The outlet claimed that the air coin numbers have risen by 30 times since the ban.
"While many business entities have moved their projects overseas following the initial coin offerings ban, a lot of these 'air coins' carried on fundraising in China without migration because they are loosely organized as a temporary team, not even a formal business entity," revealed the program.
Previously, OKCoin, one of the four largest exchanges worldwide, has been accused of continuing its operations in China and also offering unlicensed securities. There was an investigation conducted to find out their involvement in cryptocurrency trading in China by one Mr. Yang. He had revealed to reporters that the platform did not have the necessary qualifications or supervision required for legitimate operation as a digital currency trading platform. He further accused them of going against regulations by moving the firm overseas. While the exchange says that they are based out of Belize with a team in Hong Kong, Yang claims that they are actually operating from Beijing, with most users being Chinese.
The report by CCTV shows the latest effort made by local state media to educate people about what it regards as cryptocurrency market chaos. Meanwhile, the police force in China is doing everything they can to crack down on schemes that use initial coin offerings and token sales to generate funds from the public.

I am inundated with sales pitches at both the day job and my creative arts biz. I am skeptical of anything that claims to solve all of my problems, so I frequently hit the delete key or throw the mailer in the round file (a/k/a trash can). Occasionally, I find value in a promotional pitch and look at the item/service a little more closely.
Recently, I received an invite to join a professional directory. For an annual fee, I could be listed in this directory and be "ranked" on certain attributes by the self-described "world's leading expert" in this industry. My Clark Howard radar immediately went off!
I realize this organization/person obviously thinks there is a "need" for this sort of product, or else the marketing email would not have shown up in my inbox. I've had some interactions with the "expert" and yes, the person is quite knowledgable about the subject under discussion, but to bill themselves as "the world's leading expert?" – I think not!
I realize this is nothing more than marketing hype using some hired-gun verbiage at best. Hopefully, the "expert" is well aware of the claims made on the website and in the advertisement. My guess is this was done to raise the ire of others in the community and to get people talking (thus, driving people to the website). Some of my friends and I certainly had a fun discussion about this tonight.
I am all for businesses promoting themselves and trying to increase business. However, when you make the claim that you are "the world's leading expert" on ______, you'd better have the credentials and data to support that claim. This is one of the major discussions I have with my students about evaluating information. (Can you see a future library skills lesson coming?????) IMHO, this person does not have said credentials nor the data to make that claim. Nor does this organization's ranking system make a lick of sense to me due to the fact it is so highly subjective.
Once I feel I have all the details and facts surrounding this "promotional offer" I may post links to the website and other discussion on the subject. Then again, I might not!
The takeaway: Be sure you are truthful in your advertising and that the claims made can stand up to public scrutiny.


KinderKord is a wrist to wrist connection for you and your child which leaves your hands free–while keeping your child physically connected to you.
Backstory: The KinderKord was invented by Joan Lunden and her husband Jeffrey Konigsburg when concerned about keeping their two sets of twins safe. The only option that Lunden and Konigsburg had were backpack harnesses, which proved impractical. The backpack harnesses have straps that don't retract so people are stepping on them and you need to use your hands to hold onto the harness, which leaves you unable to use your hands. Not to mention that you have to put the backpacks on and off when getting in and out of the car. They wanted something to free up their hands, that they didn't have to remove at every stop while running errands and wouldn't overheat their children's backs in the summer. To read more about their story and see more details about the KinderKord visit http://www.kinderkord.com/our_product.asp.
My Review: I love the KinderKord! I wish I had the KinderKord when my daughters were young, but am so happy to be able to use it with my son. He doesn't like to hold hands so this gives him the freedom he wants while keeping him safe at the same time. As a mom of three, I don't have enough hands to keep all my children safe. My son didn't protest wearing it like I feared he would. In fact, he started blasting his sisters like he was a power ranger. [laughs] I like that the cord is retractable so I don't have to worry about anyone tripping. I also like that it is just like a watch. Easy to put on and take off but durable enough for my little one to not be able to undo. There is a simple hook that when twisted just so releases very quickly. I was pleased to know that they had updated the original KinderKord from Velcro to a watch style because I was concerned that my little guy would figure out how to release the Velcro. However, no more Velcro, just a little metal clasp that hooks into a slit just like wearing an adjustable watch. I really have no complaints, other than I have to buy more because my daughters want their own. Each adult KinderKord can attach two children and the cords don't tangle.


UPDATE: The criminal charge against Doshi was subsequently dismissed by a federal magistrate judge after prosecutors filed a motion seeking to drop the charge.
SEPTEMBER 6--A Texas man repeatedly groped a female passenger on a recent flight from Dallas to New York City, according to federal agents who arrested him for the alleged in-flight molestation.
The victim, who was traveling with her daughter, told investigators that she dozed off during the June 16 American Airlines flight. She was awoken when Pratik Doshi began to bump and brush her "left torso and left leg," according to a U.S. District Court felony complaint. Believing that the contact was inadvertent, the woman continued to rest while leaning forward on her tray table.
Doshi, a self-employed medical technician who lives in Plano, was in an aisle seat next to the woman, whose daughter was next to the window. Prior to takeoff, Doshi (seen at right) moved up six rows in the plane to occupy the aisle seat.
The woman and her daughter subsequently went to the rear of the aircraft and spoke with a flight attendant, who recounted their conversation for investigators. The American Airlines worker recalled that the female passenger was "visibly upset" as she told of Doshi rubbing her breasts and trying to slide his hand between her legs. The flight attendant said that she moved the duo to different seats for the duration of the flight.
When questioned by a detective after the flight landed, Doshi denied groping the woman, saying that any contact between them would have been "typical for two people seated next to each other on an airplane." Doshi said that he was en route to India and would return to the U.S. in three weeks.

Athletic Training alumni recently recognized by NATA
July 2, 2019 | Jennifer Folwell
Two graduates of Marietta College's Athletic Training program were recently honored by the National Athletic Trainer's Association.
Dr. Chris Ingersoll '85, who was the Vice Provost for Health Science Affairs and Dean of the College of Health and Human Services at the University of Toledo, will be the founding dean of UCF's College of Health Professions and Sciences starting on July 9th. He was inducted into the organization's Hall of Fame after serving in various positions with the organization including president of the NATA's research and education foundation.
"The foundation raises money for scholarships and grants for athletic training students," he said. "The profession is not terribly old, getting the knowledge base up and supporting students is important."
He also served as past Associate Editor and Executive Editor of the Journal of Athletic Training, which is a monthly, peer-reviewed journal highlighting research and scientific advancement in the field.
Ingersoll said the profession has changed over the years and continues to evolve. He said you'll now find athletic trainers anywhere there are active people.
"It used to be that an athletic trainer would work for a pro sports team or high school team, but now you'll find them in places like the military and industry," he said. "Anywhere there are physically active people, you'll find athletic trainers."
NATA also honored Paul Geisler '87, Professor and Director of Athletic Training Education at Ithaca College, with the Distinguished Athletic Trainer Award.
Geisler started his career in the clinical setting and then moved to academia. He was the national director for HealthSouth Sports (golf, soccer and baseball) and was the former owner of SPEC Systems Inc. & KineticGolf Program. He joined Ithaca College in 1991 and was appointed to his current position in 2018.
"That more than 20 years of clinical experience is the foundation of what I teach," he said.
Like Ingersoll, Geisler also experienced the shift to a more medical-based education for athletic training in the '90s and says there's another shift in the profession under way.
"We're collecting information … proving that what we are doing is working," he said.
Both men credit their former professor, Dr. Paul Spear '64, with preparing them for the athletic training field of today. Spear helped to launch the athletic training program at Marietta College and was longtime chair of the program. Spear retired from Marietta College in 2000.
"Paul Spear was ahead of his time," Ingersoll said. "He demanded a lot from us. He was preparing us to be health care providers, not coaches. He was a visionary and I've seen the profession evolve into that vision."
Geisler agreed.
"The (Marietta College) program was medical-based," Geisler said. "We came out with higher medical acumen."
Ingersoll and Geisler, now educators, see athletic trainers having to upgrade their skills and be more involved in care where in the past physicians and others would be involved. Soon, athletic trainers will be required to obtain a master's degree in order to practice — Marietta College will make that transition over the next few years.
The men also see more creative uses for athletic training facilities, such as a high school athletic training clinic that serves not just teams but the community, too.
"Students are going to have to take their chemistry and physics and have a strong science foundation," Ingersoll said. "That may scare some, but they will have to be prepared for the athletic training of the future."
NATA is the professional membership for certified athletic trainers. It represents 43,000 members worldwide. Its convention was held in Las Vegas this summer.

Morocco – The culture shock that makes even the most seasoned traveler's heart throb is felt as soon as we arrive. This unique country provides ever so different moments throughout the trip, with the truly exotic places and unique experiences set against the constant cultural exchange with the Moroccan people, always warm and welcoming.
Accommodations: 9 nights in 4 or 5-star hotels. Breakfast and dinner1 included.


The Special Deputy Receiver for National Prearranged Services recently filed a Bill of Costs with the Federal trial court. The Bill of Costs seeks to recover copy charges of more than $500,000 from a former NPS trustee. Those costs do not include attorneys' fees. Litigation can be very costly.
Missouri's preneed regulators are keenly aware of the costs of the NPS lawsuit, and accordingly, have been challenging the Missouri Funeral Trust regarding how it is financing its lawsuit against the Missouri State Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors. In pleadings filed with the Circuit Court, the State has sought confirmation that the MFT is not using consumers' trust funds. The program's executive director stoked that issue at a recent State Board meeting when he advised that the program trustee should not be required to disclose whether attorneys' fees are being paid from the trust. As a defense to that statement, the executive director advised that preneed purchasers do not have a right to trust income on the cancellation of a contract. That statement ignores the Chapter 436 provisions that allow a purchaser to name an alternative provider and transfer their trust. The statement also ignores whether the funeral home providers have a right to a disclosure by the trustee of the payment of attorneys' fees, and how those fees are being allocated. More appropriately, the MFT trustee would owe provider funeral homes an explanation of why litigation expenditures are necessary and in beneficiaries' best interests.


The annual event is the largest motorcycle gathering in the country which raises funds for the Air Ambulance when an estimated 12,000 riders will take part in a 23 mile ride from Shrewsbury to RAF Cosford via the M54 in Telford.
Shrewsbury fire station's Watch Manager Paul Gray and Crew Manager Rich Meadows, both experienced motorcyclists, will be with the convoy on its route.
They are part of the Prevention team from Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service who will be at RAF Cosford on board the brigade's Outreach vehicle to put out important road safety advice to festival goers.
"Both of us have around 20 years biking experience each and we are passionate about motorbike riding," said Rich, who will be riding a motorbike and wearing motorcycle clothing from Honda Shrewsbury, which has also donated a demo motorbike for the Fire service display.
"Motorcyclists are always the ones who come off worse in a collision. As a motorcyclist you have to be so aware of the road conditions and your surroundings.
Former England rugby captain Mike Tindall MBE will officially lead the convoy with former World Superbike champion Carl Fogarty and former British Superbike champion and Moto GP presenter Steve Parrish.
Mike Tindall, husband of the Princess Royal's daughter Zara, rides a Harley Davidson and has been an ambassador of the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity for the past five years.
James Bainbridge, Station Officer for Prevention at Shrewsbury fire HQ, said that injuries to motorcyclists were "totally out of proportion" to the numbers of road users."Almost a fifth of people killed on our roads are motorcyclists yet they only make up just one per cent of all the traffic on our roads. They are 38 times more likely to die in a collision compared with occupants in a car. We will be doing our utmost to get the important messages out to them to keep them safe.
He thanked Honda Shrewsbury for their partnership support which also included a motorcycle helmet which will be raffled for the charity.

Q: How to specify the conversion format of a date to a string I am creating an app where the current date needs to be displayed in a label and automatically updated each day. I have looked at a few tutorials and they have all shown how to get the date in YYYY:DD:MM hh:mm, I am wondering how to change this format to DD/MMM/YYYY.
Any sample code or links to tutorials would be greatly appreciated.

A: Something like this:
NSDate          *today     = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateformatter alloc] init];

[formatter setDateFormat:@"dd/MMM/yyyy"];
[myLabel   setText:[formatter stringFromDate:today]];

A: NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat: @"dd/MM/yyyy"];

NSString *dateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate: dayDate];

//display dateString in label

[dateFormatter release];

A: You need to use the NSDateFormatter. For specfic formats look at
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSDateFormatter_Class/Reference/Reference.html
NSDateFormatter *format = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[format setDateFormat:@"dd/MMM/yyyy"];

NSDate *now = [[NSDate alloc] init];

NSString *dateString = [format stringFromDate:now];
