We just want to wish all of you a very happy holiday weekend; and for those who are still trying to recover from the wrath of Mother Nature our thoughts are with you.
WOW … by the 11th (the day I started writing this article) I had to call my doctor for a refill --- I ran out of my motion sickness pills! What is going on? Are we back to those wild days of just a few years ago, when the market's wild ups and downs made Kingda Ka (one of the largest, steepest and fastest roller coasters) look as scary as Disney's It's a Small World. I really hope not! The only people making money in this market are those who make the big trades … us small people are just the pee-ons (hope you got that).
This month showed, once again, that Wall Street is no longer a place for rational people to invest their money for the future and a comfortable retirement … it is just one GIANT CASINO and if you want to really make money, you have to roll big and bet big --- then hopefully you can get out before a correction comes; and they do come real fast and without much warning. I know that the Monday morning quarterbacks will all be telling us that the writing was on the wall … but where is that wall? I keep looking and cannot find it!
I do not know about you, but my portfolio (if I can call it that) is hemorrhaging and I have covered it with all sorts of bandages in an attempt to stop all the "green" from spilling out. Now I do have to say that on the morning of the 10th I did put my feet back in the water and bought more PDC (I initially bought it at $15 and added more that day at $11.66). By the end of that day the market was up over 400 points and PDC was over $12.30 … that was a good move! At least I thought so until the 11th, when the market dropped over 500 points … but PDC closed at $11.74 (so I was still looking good). However, by the 19th the market was heading even lower and PDC closed at $11.19 – more red! But by the 30th the market was improving and PDC was closing in on $13!
I know they say that you cannot time the market and nobody buys at the lowest point and sells at the highest. However, we all know that is a bunch of bull … some people do – just not me! Oh, I also bought more Citi (at $30.41 – still dollar averaging) and some JPM (at $36).
As for my other stocks, does it really matter? I can tell you that almost all of them are in the red and overall my portfolios are bleeding heavily. On the bright side, I remember that a few short years ago I was living the same nightmare … but it did end and there was a time of peace and tranquility --- those times will return; I hope! In addition, my retirement stock SNRS (20 million shares) is still at .0001 --- one of the only stocks I own that is not bleeding heavily … but then again, where can it go from .0001? Ok … it could go out completely.
Towards the end of the month I saw a headline on the Internet that really summed up the Media's take on the market … Buffett endorses BofA with risky $5 billion bet. Even they think it is a place to gamble. In addition it made me laugh to think that Mr. Buffett was a betting man. I see him more as an extremely wise investor and business man … and a more appropriate headline might have been: Mr. Buffett endorses BofA with a $5 billion investment.
I was asked to comment on this topic almost two years ago and have been thinking about it ever since. Bob, the individual who posed the topic, is a very good friend and client of ours. After seeing us at a show he sent an email asking the following: How do people who go to shows know who to trust? How can someone really believe that what a dealer is telling them is, in fact, the truth? Does someone actually walk into a show and just buy what they see? How does someone do their due diligence?
Before I get to the questions, let's quickly cover "a show". Large Art and/or Antique shows are, at this point, one of the main games in town and they have their pluses and minuses. Their most positive aspects are: they create a central location where dealers can meet thousands of people in the span of just 3 or 4 days and visitors can see and compare the offerings of a number of dealers in one location. Their main negatives are: only a selection of a dealer's inventory will be displayed, they last for only a few days and, most importantly, some shows can give credibility to dealers who do not deserve it.
So, you decide to visit a show … now what?
First, it is important to understand that shows come in all shapes and sizes. Some cater to the top level dealers and normally the works shown will be more expensive; however, there is usually a good reason for that. Typically (but not always) these works are the cream of the crop … those done during the prime period of an artist, in great condition and of superb quality. Others shows cater to a wider range of dealers and the items on display can range from the very expensive to the easily affordable. Finally, there are low end shows (more like flea markets) -- where you have to dig through items stacked one in front, or on top, of another (which can be fun and often a little dusty).
For our purposes, let's stick to the middle and high level shows. For the visitor, the best part of a show is that you get a chance to meet the dealers and ask questions … remember that there are no 'dumb' questions – well, I do have a list of about 30 questions and comments that would fall into the 'dumb/annoying' category (see volumes 112, 114 & 118). This is your opportunity to start building personal relationships with those dealers you fell know what they are doing. If you are lucky enough to live in an area that supports these shows, and you are interested in buying art and antiques, I would suggest that you attend. These shows will also give you a chance to see how different dealers present their works and how a particular piece stacks up against the other works in the dealer's booth, or against a competitor's work – which can often be very enlightening.
Here is a great story about pricing. I was standing in a dealer's booth at a show talking to the owner. There was a painting hanging near us that I know was priced at $500,000 (I had seen it at a number of other shows). While standing in the booth (on the last day of the show) a woman walked in and one of the salesmen started talking to her. At some point in the conversation he said the following: "… the painting is priced at $600,000, but it is the last day of the show and I would really like to make a deal, so I will offer it to you for $400,000." WOW, he just raised the price 20% and then cut it by 33.3%; I was shocked and wondered if that would really work? I walked back to my booth and watched the women talk to the salesman for another 10 or 15 minutes; I am pleased to report that she finally walked out – without the painting. Now I know there are different sales techniques, but that one seemed a little devious to me. The sad thing is that I know people do fall for that sales technique.
Now let's get back to Bob's questions, one of which was: does someone actually walk into a show and just buy what they see? Over my 30 years I have found that there are various types of the people attending shows; for my discussion, I will stick to the three main groups. The first are your veterans, or seasoned buyers … these people know what they are looking at, have a fairly good understanding of the market and just need some of the facts about a particular work in order to make a decision. These buyers can often make a decision on the spot … and many do. Hey, I know this might sound strange but one of the main reasons us dealers do shows is to make sales!
Then we have the lightly seasoned buyer --- people who might have bought an inexpensive work before, but have yet to take the big plunge. If these people have done the right prep work --- determined the periods of art they like, visited local museums and galleries, and searched the internet to read up on the dealers who will be exhibiting --- then they can come to a show and actually buy something; but typically they spend a great deal of time roaming the show and comparing pieces from different dealers. It usually takes two or three shows before they get comfortable with making a decision on the spot.
Finally there is the unseasoned buyer … or newbie --- people who have no idea what they are doing and come to a show just to look and maybe buy something if it strikes their fancy. Over the years I have seen many people like this and at times, they end up with a very bad experience. Here is an example: I was at a recent show and watched a couple wander the floor for a few hours … you could tell they had no idea what they were doing. They ended up at a competitor's booth and I watched as the owner tried, for more than an hour, to close a deal on a painting by an artist whose work we handle. I sat there wondering why these people were not in our booth asking questions about the 6 pieces we had since I know they stopped in earlier. Anyway, the couple finally exited the other dealer's booth and headed straight for us. They walked over to the works we had on display and started asking questions. I spent the next 30 minutes giving them a crash course on the artist, the sizes he favored, the changes his technique went through during his career and how prices changed depending on when a work was created. They then looked at the prices posted and said: "Oh, your works are less expensive because they are later pieces" … I said, "Later than what?" Their reply: "later than the work in the booth over there". Now I started to smile and went on to explain that in fact the other dealer's work was a much later example (turns out he told them it was a very early piece) … and how did I know that – because the dealer bought it from us and we gave them the provenance right back to the artist and the date the work was painted. After that, they had no idea what to believe and I watched as they left our booth and quickly walked out the front door. Not only was this a bad experience for them, but for us as well; here was a couple who might never return – and it is hard to blame them. The sad thing is that there is no way to protect people from this type of misrepresentation. Sometimes the dealer in question does it with full knowledge and other times they really have no idea what they are selling … other than it is a work by the artist – or is it?
Some final things to keep in mind when visiting a show --- not all dealers are created equal and some of the top level shows will include mediocre or marginal dealers. I am sure you are wondering: how can that be since it is a top level show? Well, it all comes down to money. Show promoters start out with the best of intentions, but as show time gets closer and they still have space to rent, they begin to lower their sights. I have been in many shows that have claimed to be only for the "best of the best", and when we arrive we find that some of the dealers are far from the best. What we hope for is that the visitors will realize the difference … but you do need to be careful.
Overall, shows are a great way to learn more about the art and/or antiques you love … and in the process you may come away with a great addition to your collection.
Here is a final, related, story which took place at the recent show we attended.
On August 24th, after setting up our booth in Baltimore, I started to walk the show floor to see what else was on display. As I passed another dealer's booth I paused and looked at a large, early, Cortes that was on display. The dealer walked up to me and asked what I thought ... my response was: "I think that is a stolen painting". He assured me it could not be and that he recently purchased the work from a dealer in California. My reply: "I was just contacted by an individual in California and was informed that a Cortes and Tiffany lamp were taken from their home ... they even included photos." I told the dealer I would go back to my booth and check my emails to be certain; sure enough, it was the same painting.
It is also interesting to note that had I not been at this show, the painting would have been offered for sale and may have even sold to an unsuspecting buyer. The title issue with the painting may have not surfaced until many years later ... when the potential new owner tried to sell the work and it was flagged; at that point, they would be out the money rather than the dealer.
Gallery Updates: There is still some good news for us … for the month of September we are open Monday – Thursday and all other times by appointment.
Web Site Updates: Works by the following artists have made their way through the gallery: Joan Miro, Jules Worms, Rico y Ortega, Cortès and Bart Walter. And look for new works by Cortès, Blanchard, Jules Dupré, Julien Dupré, Emile van Marcke and Greg Harris that have been, or will be, added to the web site.
Next Month: We shall see.

Gerace is called the Holy Town for the many churches, convents and monasteries standing in its territory. It is an enchanting, well-preserved medieval village that includes Borgo Maggiore, Largo Piano, Borghetto and Città Alta. Gerace was founded around the 7th century by the refugees of the nearby Epizephyrian Locris, who had to leave their place to survive Saracen raids. They settled in Hagia Kyriaki (Saint Ciriaca), name that popularly was later changed into ierókion (small hawk), which formed the current name. Gerace cooking is rich and site-specific, and local specialties still follow the traditional recipes of the area. Fried food is commonly consumed; typical dishes are alatucia (pork rinds) with eggs and cucurdia, a kind of Aspromonte polenta. Meat dishes are mainly goat specialties. The production of ricotta and cheese following very ancient methods is renowned. Hand-made pasta is delicious and it includes maccaruni, a shape obtained by rolling dough around thin stems called mazzuni or cannici Tomato sauce and olives preserved in oil are typical Aspromonte preserves. Among cold cuts, capocollo and soppressata are delicious, especially when eaten with home-made bread. Sweets and pastries include petrali and zeppole (for Christmas time); n'gute and cuddhuraci (for Easter time); sciaruni made with puff pastry, ricotta and eggs; different types of pitte and scaddateddhi. Dried figs stuffed with walnuts and almonds, mulberries and costee (dried pears) are real delicacies. Among local wines, Cuvertà and Palazzi are very appreciated. Mantonico and dessert Greco di Bianco are DOC wines. Home-made liqueurs, like limoncello, citrus mix and nocino, are produced as well. High-quality olive oil, the leading product of Aspromonte economy, is obtained from centuries-old olive trees and pressed by the many ancient and modern olive oil mills present in the area.

VILLAGES AND OLD TOWNS
There is a group of houses in Gerace village, outside the town walls, where peasants and clay potters still live and work. Clay craftsmen work in tuff-carved caves and continue a tradition that flourished in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Gerace has many architectural treasures, from the large Byzantine Cathedral to the tuff-carved houses where skilled potters still shape clay following ancient Greek models. Noble buildings have carved stone gates, the works of local stonemasons. Thousand-year old churches and tuff buildings, remains of the old castle in the upper town, paved narrow streets, everything here reminds the visitors of a fascinating past. The enchanting village has been included among Italian most Beautiful towns. The remarkable Byzantine church of S. Maria del Mastro, built in the 11th century at the center of the village, has a 17th-century façade. The upper area is called Borghetto and it is characterized by many medieval dwellings, some of which built on stone arches. The upper town is located on the flat top of the cliff and it includes Piazza del Tocco, the square where public assemblies were held. The most important noble buildings in Gerace overlook the square.
The Cathedral was partially erected on the rock and a Greek-Byzantine crypt that was probably built on an ancient oratory. The varied crypt columns support 9th-10th century sail vaults. The Cathedral is dedicated to the Assumption and it was consecrated for the first time in 1045 and later in 1222, probably at the presence of Frederick II of Swabia. It is the largest church and one of the most important in Calabria. It has a Norman structure and a Byzantine layout. The nearby Chapel of San Giacomo keeps the "Treasure of the Cathedral" with important liturgical furnishings and silverware, including a precious 12th century cross-reliquary from Jerusalem. The Church of San Francesco (1227) was once dedicated to Saint Lawrence, and the Monastery of the Friars Minor was annexed in 1252. The Gothic Church has a magnificent ogival side portal, with Norman-Arab triple decorated arches. The Church of San Giovennello stands on the Southern side of the Church, and it is a Basilian architectural jewel dating back to the 11th century. The church houses a well that was once employed as a baptismal font. The 18th century Church of Sacro Cuore, baroque Porta del Sole, charming Piazza del Tocco and Church of Sant'Anna are located in the lower village area.
Among the remains of the ancient castle, a round tower, rests of walls and some sparse relics are still visible. The castle was once connected to the town by a lift bridge, and it was a shelter for the population when the town was in danger. It was built during the Norman rule (1057-1060), and it was rebuilt in the 13th -14th century and remodeled again in the 16th century.

For Eliza Jane Carter, the town of Gardiner, Texas was a project. She was determined to teach the women that they had rights, deserved to be listened to, and not be beholden to a man. She had done this in other towns, and like those, she intended to leave and find a new town to help once she was finished here.
Babysitting a woman with revolutionary thinking was not in Will Martinson's job description. He was the town doctor, and only served as deputy since his best friend was sheriff. Those two jobs kept him busy enough, but now Eliza Jane was causing an uproar in every establishment that she entered. Not only was she very tall, striking, and attractive enough to pretty much keep only one thought on Will's mind, but now he had to protect Eliza Jane from the men livid over the ruckus she was causing.
Taming Eliza Jane was a lively read that was a thorough delight. I enjoyed the romance between Eliza Jane and Will, and was moved by watching them both overcome their personal issues in order to find happiness together. I loved the inhabitants of Gardiner, and would love to revisit the town. That's why I'm thrilled to know that there will be a sequel.


Hi I got the wii controller and the dolphin bar, but I can't seem to use the wiimote with the dolphin emulator.
I can't get the wii controller to work with the dolphin emulator. Nothing happens with games when i try to use the wii controller. What happens is that when i press buttons on the wii controller, things happen in windows (menus pop up, pressing home, gets to the start menu, etc.).
So I've tried the following without any success. Any suggestions on how to get the wii controller working with the dolphin emulator?
I followed the instructions about updating the dolphin bar firm ware, and then i synced the wii controller to the dolphinbar by pressing sync on both, and I put the dolphin emulator in continuous scan mode, and the dolphin bar in mode 3 (and then i tried mode 4). I've also tried pressing the 1 and 2 buttons together on the wiimote, and pressing alt f5 during a game. all no luck.
Please keep everything into your original thread. Please don't make duplicates!

Q: sql query to get data by date and time I want to get the rows where date and time are greater then given date. Here is my table:
EvDate      EvTime      ClBdg   Name    Event
18.01.2015  10:55:01    001     Jane    enter
18.01.2015  19:31:21    003     Brad    exit
19.01.2015  13:31:21    002     Lucy    exit

Given date is 18.01.2015, time is 17:00:00. Desired values are:
EvDate      EvTime      ClBdg   Name    Event
18.01.2015  19:31:21    003     Brad    exit
19.01.2015  13:31:21    002     Lucy    exit

Can anyone helps me?
Edit:
To be more clear I edited my post. Here is the java code to execute the query:
private static final SimpleDateFormat sdfTime=new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
private static final SimpleDateFormat sdfDate=new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
private long givenTimeStamp = 1421600400L;
public static Date givenDate = new Date(givenTimeStamp);

Class.forName("net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanaccessDriver");
String DATABASE = "jdbc:ucanaccess://"+CONF.getString("db.location")+";jackcessOpener=uz.lexus.access.crypto.MyCryptoProvider";
connection= DriverManager.getConnection(DATABASE, null, null);

List<Event> events=new ArrayList<Event>();
String selectEvents = "select EvDate,EvTime,ClBdg,Event from Evntlog_tbl where  Event in ('enter','exit') and not ClBdg=0 and EvDate >= ? and EvTime > ?  order by EvDate desc, EvTime desc";
PreparedStatement prstm= connection.prepareStatement(selectEvent);
java.sql.Date date=new java.sql.Date(sdfDate.parse(sdfDate.format()).getTime(givenDate));
java.sql.Time time=new Time(sdfTime.parse(sdfTime.format(givenDate)).getTime());

prstm.setDate(1,date);
prstm.setTime(2,time);

ResultSet rs = prstm.executeQuery();

Now the question is: Is the query in the selectEvent correct?

A: try this ,
As you have two different columns for Evdate and EvTime
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE EvDate >'18.01.2015'  OR (EvDate = '18.01.2015' AND EvTime > '17:00:00'

Update-
attaching a fiddle , will be helpful .

A: SELECT *
FROM table1
WHERE EvDate + EvTime > '2015-01-18T17:00:00'

Instead you could consider creating a PERSISTED computed column that adds date and time. Persisted computed columns will allow index
ALTER TABLE table1 ADD cEVdatetime AS EvDate + EvTime PERSISTED

A: This might hepls you
declare @t table(a date,b time)
insert into  @t values (getdate(),'7:00:00 AM')

select * from @t
where a>'2015/01/19' or (a=getdate() and a>'6:00:00 AM')

A: i am assume that EvDate Datatype is Date and EvTime Datatype is Time .
Try This ....
select
      * from yourtablename
where  CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),EvDate ,112)>=20150118 AND EvTime >='17:00:00'

When it comes to road trips, one of the most unique and exciting continents is definitely Europe. With so many countries to explore, things to see and do as well as cultures to experience, it's easy to see why Europe is frequently a favourite amongst people from around the world. So what about exploring Europe by road? Is it feasible, safe and enjoyable? The short answer to all of these is a resounding 'yes', and it's much more popular than you may think! But where to begin, and how should you prepare? Here is a checklist for anyone hoping to take advantage of #RoadTripsOfEurope.
Routes for road trips through Europe are numerous and can include only one or two countries or multitudes of different ones. You can even do themed road trips such as stopping off at important sites of World War II or doing a trip through the wine regions of France, Germany and Italy as two options that pique people's interests. Whichever route you choose, be sure to factor in a night or two in top destination cities and towns for the ultimate experience and to take some time off from the open road. A night or two would be perfect to allow you to get into the back streets and explore local places you've never seen before.
One of the main things you need to do in advance of a journey by road of any length is to get your car roadworthy and have it checked over to ensure there won't be any nasty surprises waiting in the wings or along the side of the Autobahn enroute to your next destination. A quick trip to the likes of Kwik Fit is an ideal way to make sure your car isn't just in tip top shape but also to make sure that you can relax and rest easy knowing that your car will get you where you're going without any hassle or issues.
Road trips require a certain level of preparedness when it comes to packing. Be sure to take not just your immediate needs, but also pack a bit of an emergency kit just in case you do run into any snafus along the way. Be sure to pack a blanket/blankets, at least a day's worth of water, food/snacks and an extra battery pack for your mobile phone. Of course for those long stretches of road you might need a snack or two as well, so be sure to pack enough to last you on those long, lonely stretches when the munchies hit.
Most of all, on any road trip anywhere, be sure to have a bucket of fun. Road trips are great ways to get out and see the world with a couple of your best friends, so make sure you take advantage of this great option for summer getaways this year. So invite your buddies around, break out a map and start planning the ultimate friends getaway of the summer!

Plan your trip /
Discover the best Kosher gastronomy France has to offer!
Published: 10 October 2013, 14:19
© France.fr
Kosher restaurants and other food establishments are under the supervision of the Beth Din, which is an arm of the Orthodox Consistoire Centrale, the official Jewish religious body in France. This certification is more than sufficient for most observant Jews.
Some restaurants carry the heksher of other authorities such as Chabad - Lubavitch or Rav Rottenberg, and of course somme carry more than one heksher. Kosher establishments in France are required to display their certification in the window and/or near the cashier. Make sure you look for a current date and the name of the supervising authority. If you can't see it properly, ask.
The websites of the Paris Consistoire (www.consistoire.org (External link) ) and the Consistoire for all of France (www.consistoiredefrance.fr) contain listings of kosher products, in French (produits cacher), under the heading Cacherout. The Paris site also has a list of kosher fish (poissons autorisés).
Another Web site, kosherinfrance.com, is privately run and is available in both French and English. It contains restaurant, bakery, takeout, catering, and grocery store information for the entire country. A variety of search options and information are available. Some may be tempted to eat baguette, that long, thin, crusty bread that everyone thinks of as French bread, from a non-kosher bakery, especially a boulangerie artisinale.
Note that even though the ingredients may be kosher per se, oftentimes the bread pan is greased with lard.
Experienced kosher travelers know that when restaurant or takeout food is not available, there is still no need to go hungry. Even if you're in a place without kosher food you'll be fine…just head to the local outdoor market and pick up fruit, vegetables, and eggs, if you've got the equipment with which to boil them. Unfortunately non-kosher cheese is hardened the old fashioned way, with natural rennet, not the vegetarian version used in most cheese in the United States. General grocery stores and supermarkets present other challenges to those who keep kosher.
Where the US has dozens of kosher symbols used to mark packaged foods, this system is not really used in France. So packaged food you find in the supermarket may in fact have a heksher and you can't tell. That's wherethe list of authorized products from the Consistoire comes in. Here is a selection of restaurants, but it is by no means exhaustive.
Again, we suggest you consult either Kosher in France Kosher restaurants in France (www.kosherinfrance.com (External link) ) or the Consistoire (http://www.consistoire.org/ (External link) ) for the most up to date information. And remember to call ahead to make sure the place is open…unfortunately no list is perfect.
Paris is filled with kosher restaurants, takeout shops, bakeries, and pastry shops, and supermarketsin neighborhoods with large Jewish populations sell kosher packaged goods. In Paris kosher restaurants serve food from all over the world - Israeli/Middle Eastern, pizza, sushi, Chinese, Italian, and of course French.
But oddly enough classic French food prepared according to kosher laws is the least common type of kosher restaurant you will find, and Israeli/Middle Eastern and pizza are the most common.

Q: Remove vertical ScrollBar from Lightning Page I am relatively new to Salesforce lightning and HTML/CSS. I was trying to create a Custom Grid to display Data with Pagintation(infinite scrolling).
It all went well till i started solving the issue of vertical scroll bar appearing on my page all the time. For pagination, i wanted to display scroll bar only on the grid and not on the entire page(default lightning grid behaviour). The snapshot below explains the problem very well.

But, as you can see in the snapshot above, there's an extra scroll bar that appears on the page as well. How do i set the
{ overflow:hidden;}

on the main page?

A: In addition to my comments above if you really need to do this it can be added to the init handler as such:
document.body.setAttribute('style', 'overflow: hidden;');

Which I have used many times to stop scrolling of main window when a modal is displayed.

Hlebine ist eine  Ortschaft in der kroatischen historischen Region Podravina (Drautal), 13 km östlich von Koprivnica mit 1304 Einwohnern (Volkszählung 2011).

Hlebine ist als die Heimat der kroatischen naiven Kunst (Schule der Naiven Kunst von Hlebine) bekannt, die sich dank zahlreicher Ausstellungen ihrer Vertreter Anerkennung in aller Welt erworben hat. Die Anfänge dieser Richtung gehen auf ein Experiment des Malers Krsto Hegedušić um 1930 zurück. Er versuchte damals, einer Gruppe von Bauern, die keine akademische Vorbildung hatten, die Malerei näherzubringen; unter ihnen zeichneten sich bald darauf Ivan Generalić und Franjo Mraz aus. Die Bauern griffen seine Tempera-Maltechnik auf Glas auf und verhalfen so der alten Barockmalweise der Hinterglasmalerei zu neuem Leben.

Medal Round
Rick Perry campaign to honor a legendary Aggie.

Why were Governor Rick Perry and Secretary of State Colin Powell engrossed in conversation at George W. Bush's inauguration? No, they weren't plotting to take over Mexico. The subject at hand was a name familiar to Aggies and military veterans alike, that of James Earl Rudder. The late Texas A&M president and decorated World War II hero—whose daring D-day raid at Pointe du Hoc, France, was critical to the success of the Allies' invasion of Normandy—never received the nation's most prestigious award for valor, the Congressional Medal of Honor. Perry pointed this out to Powell, and the two got to talking. The rest may soon be history. The story of Rudder's bravery is legendary: On June 6, 1944, Lieutenant Colonel Rudder led Companies D, E, and F of the Army's Second Ranger Battalion in a maneuver that one major deemed a suicide mission. Rudder's Rangers, as they were called, used grappling hooks to scale a sheer, nine-story-high cliff while German soldiers leaned over the precipice, slashing their ropes and cutting them down with grenades and machine-gun fire. But Rudder and his men prevailed, gaining a foothold on the cliff and knocking out a German artillery battery that guarded both Omaha and Utah beaches. Rudder's Rangers helped turn the tide of D-day.
Rudder, who was raised in the West Texas town of Eden and graduated from A&M in 1932, returned home after the war. He served as the mayor of the Hill Country town of Brady and then became land commissioner in 1955. His greatest challenge besides Pointe du Hoc, however, arose after he became the president of A&M, in 1959: Despite tremendous resistance on campus that included being burned in effigy, Rudder helped open the school's doors to women in 1963. "He took an insular, all-male bastion and forced it into the modern era," says Aggie Richard Box, who is aiding Perry in his campaign to win Rudder the award. "Only Rudder could do it. He was an individual of giant proportions."
At Perry's request, the labyrinthine process whereby Rudder could receive the Medal of Honor—which begins with the Adjutant General of Texas and, if the Army gives its blessing, ends with President Bush—is already under way. All told, it could take two years. For Perry, who remembers Rudder from his days at A&M as "a big, thick fella we were all scared to death of," honoring him is as much about Aggie pride as righting a wrong. Perry visited Pointe du Hoc with his father, a World War II veteran, on the anniversary of D-day last year and was stunned that Rudder's bravery hadn't won him the medal. "How anyone got up that cliff—you are literally at a loss for words when you see it," he said. "Those soldiers had to be so focused, so disciplined, so inspired. What James Earl Rudder did shouldn't be forgotten."

Temporal and Spatial Patterns in Abundance of the Wedge-Billed Woodcreeper (Glyphorynchus spirurus) in Lowland Ecuador

John G. Blake, Bette A. Loiselle; Temporal and Spatial Patterns in Abundance of the Wedge-Billed Woodcreeper (Glyphorynchus spirurus) in Lowland Ecuador. The Wilson Journal of Ornithology 1 September 2012; 124 (3): 436–445. doi: https://doi.org/10.1676/12-022.1
Glyphorynchus spirurus (Wedge-billed Woodcreeper) is one of the most common birds in the understory of many tropical forests of Central and South America but few studies have focused on its abundance and distribution. We use data from mist nets and direct observations over a 10-year period to examine patterns of abundance and distribution on two 100-ha plots (Harpia, Puma), ∼1.7 km apart in lowland forest of eastern Ecuador. Birds were captured in mist nets (96 nets/plot) that were open for ∼6 hrs/day for 1 day each in January and February; direct observations were made along transects within each plot during February (7 yrs) and April (4 yrs). We recorded 861 captures (447 recaptures) on Harpia and 963 captures (540 recaptures) on Puma; capture rates (birds/100 mist-net hrs) were slightly higher on Puma, largely a result of the greater numbers of recaptures. Number of individuals captured per year did not differ between plots. Mean (± SE) recapture distance within a year was less on Harpia (94.5 ± 6.1 m) than on Puma (121.6 ± 7.3 m) but recapture distances between years did not differ between plots (108 and 97 m, respectively for Harpia and Puma). Number of captures had a clumped distribution with some nets capturing many more individuals than others; number of captures per net was not correlated with captures at nearby nets. We recorded 490 Glyphorynchus during observations on Harpia (Feb samples) and 384 on Puma. Number of observations was greater on Harpia during 6 of 7 years. Numbers of observations had clumped distribution patterns on both plots; significant autocorrelations likely reflected the difficulty of detecting individuals by voice when >50 m from a transect. Comparisons with published data from other sites in Central and South America indicate considerable spatial variation in abundance but reasons for geographic variation in abundance need further investigation.

Rachel Linfield is going to Princeton, thanks to talent, hard work and some opportune strategies by her college advisor!
Gabriel Kabariti is going to Johns Hopkins, thanks to talent, hard work and some opportune strategies by his college advisor!
Most independent college advisors come up with lists of colleges balancing perceived reaches, targets and safeties. They then edit essays with an eye toward what has worked in the past (and frequently too distant past).
Coming up with a balanced list of wonderful colleges is the least of what I do. It's important and my deeper understanding of more campuses (than anyone I've met in a decade as an advisor) is crucial. But more important is the feedback I get year-in and year-out from top-tier admissions offices confirming that the conventional approaches of most college advisors are out-of-step with the changing priorities of admissions offices (not to mention that many rehash the same tired strategies year after year).
So I pride myself on innovative strategies that have seen quite a few students convert a deferral to an acceptance, come off a waitlist or leverage an Early Decision at colleges previously perceived as out of reach. These success stories often hinge on minor details overlooked by most advisors.
These decisive determinants are divined by a careful, ambitious and time-consuming process of interviewing which gleans nuances others miss. My passion to learn as much as I can while searching for counter-intuitive solutions has meant that my year-to-year success (see my Results page) continues to gratify both my colleagues and clients (see my Testimonials page).

New Trends in Roofing
The search for smarter and more sustainable buildings begins at the top.
Lower and lighter
The angle of a roof's pitch not only helps to determine how quickly it can drain rain and snow, but also defines the whole character and feel of a building. For example, steep pitches of 60 degrees or more are a common feature in gothic revival architecture – helping to create an imposing impression – whilst many housebuilders opt for a right-angled form factor with roof pitches around 45 degrees. Recently, however, designers of both domestic and non-domestic buildings have started to think more low-key — introducing pitches of between 30 and 10 degrees.
Why low pitch?
There are a variety of reasons for this shift towards shallower roof angles.
Local planning requirements often restrict the ridge height of new buildings to ensure they do not stand out from, or tower over, the surrounding architecture. By reducing the pitch angle, designers are able to raise the height of eaves on these buildings. This can allow floor to ceiling heights to be increased in the rooms below, making them feel lighter and more spacious. In some cases, it may even allow an additional floor to be created – considerably increasing the property's saleable value.
Aesthetics are another important consideration. Many designers and owners now favour sleek minimalist styling over the more traditional approaches. On a smaller scale, many owners of pitched roof buildings prefer low-angle pitched roofs to flat roofs when extending their property as they allow better continuity of design.
Decreasing the pitch angle of a roof can also lower its weight as the area of tiling is reduced.
The most obvious concern when designing or installing a low pitch roof is that rainwater will drain more slowly. This means careful detailing is essential at any openings in the roof surface and at ventilation points to prevent moisture being driven into the roof construction.
The increased potential for moisture ingress in these roofs means that many manufacturers do not support the use of standard clay and concrete tile systems at pitch angles below 30 degrees. If these systems are used then installers and designers must take considerable care to properly weatherproof them, for example, by increasing the degree of lap between the tiles. This can significantly increase both the timescale and cost of the roofing work whilst failure to properly assess these areas may lead to serious long-term problems including leaks and rotting soffits and rafter feet.
Metal tile systems can often provide a simpler and more cost-effective solution for these applications. The tiles are typically installed in long runs with a single fix, reducing the number of fixings and penetrations. Their precision jointing also helps to form a more resilient seal in these applications.
The lightweight design of metal tile systems makes them particularly well suited to installations on existing low-pitched roofs where structural loading requirements are already set. They also provide considerable design flexibility. Our Decra range tiles are available with a variety of coatings which can replicate the appearance of materials such as clay, concrete and even wood.

For centuries, we have relied on roofs to keep out the elements. However, as the continued spread of urban areas and changes to our climate lead to more frequent surface water flood events, we now have to ask them to do more. Blue roofs provide a means to carefully control rainfall drainage during storms, allowing the water to be released over a much longer period of time and helping to protect life and property.
Rain Risk
Surface water flooding occurs when rainfall is so extreme that it overloads sewer systems and ground storage. Research has suggested that large storm events are likely to become more frequent over the coming decades as a result of climate change whilst growth in urban and suburban sprawl means that land which could once store this water is now paved over. As a result, occurrences of these types of events are likely to rise over the coming years with potentially hugely costly impacts.
To counteract this, many governments now require the use of sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDs) as part of new developments within cities. A range of SUDs options are available, from permeable paving to use of green spaces. For flat roofed projects, the integration of a blue roof can form a key part the sustainable drainage strategy.
Blue roofs are designed to capture rainwater and slowly release it over a period of 24 hours. A typical construction comprises a waterproofing layer, which is fitted above the standard vapour barrier and insulation, followed with a void where the water can attenuate. This void is then covered beneath a permeable substrate and top surface (in many cases a green roof). Unlike standard flat roofs, they often feature little or no fall and all drainage primary points are fitted with flow rate restrictors to control the speed at which water is allowed to flow from the surface.
When designing these features there are a number of factors which need to be carefully considered. Clearly, when storing a potentially large volume of water on the roof it is crucial to ensure that detailing on the waterproofing system is carefully planned and carried out, particularly around any penetrations through the surface. These details and the drainage points must be designed to withstand the pressure of being submerged for several hours when the roof is at capacity.
Beyond the roof surface, designers must ensure that the building structure is designed to support the additional weight when the roof is at capacity. Care should also be taken to manage and cut back any surrounding trees which could potentially block drainage points during a storm event. In addition, emergency drainage must be provided to channel away excess flow once the surface reaches capacity.
To ensure all these factors are effectively considered and managed, it makes sense to take a holistic approach when designing and specifying these roofs.

Judas Priest have finally made the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Paul Truscot2022-05-09T11:20:25+10:00
After 23 years, heavy metal icons Judas Priest have finally made the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
After being eligible for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for a quarter century and appearing on the ballot three times, the band has finally made it in as one of this year's winners of the Musical Excellence Award.
"Third times a charm" Front man Rob Halford told Rolling Stone while beaming with delight.
"We left the launchpad and now we're headed to the hallowed halls. It's a great day for Judas Priest and a great day for heavy metal."
Priest will receive the Musical Excellence Award at this year's event, held on Nov 5, 2022 at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles.
According to the official Hall Of Fame website, the award is given to "artists, musicians, songwriters and producers whose originality and influence creating music have had a dramatic impact on music."
"It's a validation, more than anything else, of the importance and the relevance of Judas Priest. Fifty years we've been doing this. To have this opportunity as we continue to celebrate our 50th anniversary is just a beautiful thing. It couldn't have happened at a better time.
It's definitely a validation of Priest and the importance of heavy metal music. I've been championing the need for more heavy metal in the Hall of Fame. You look at the list of people that have been in since the Hall started in 1986: "They're not metal, they're not metal, they're not metal …"

Travel Insurance Can Be Buoy When It All Starts to Unravel
By Eric BellmanStaff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal
June 14, 2002 12:01 am ET
Purvi Gandhi needed to get to a hospital urgently. In the middle of a holiday in Berlin the Bombay native was hit with intense abdominal cramps, vomiting and fainting spells. Trapped at a friend's home, she discovered that her travel insurance policy didn't cover her getting sick abroad. It wouldn't even pay for a doctor's visit.
"The insurance was a rip-off, so I couldn't afford to go to the hospital," says the 27-year-old, who is now studying at a Berlin business school. "Once I read the fine print I found out it only covered emergencies and accidents."
Ms. Gandhi's cramps and fainting spells disappeared after that night of suffering four years ago, but her trust in travel insurance didn't return until a year later when her fiance was hospitalized for a blood clot in his leg during a trip to the U.S. His US$250 travel insurance policy covered the $5,000 cost of the time he spent in a Kansas City hospital. "Now, instead of a 4,000 rupee ($82) policy, I spend 10,000 rupees for a policy I can use," says Ms. Gandhi.
The number of people traveling may have dropped after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the U.S., but the number of people buying travel insurance when they do travel has jumped. The focus on terrorism, kidnappings and political unrest has heightened travelers' awareness of the unexpected dangers they may face -- and brought into sharp focus the importance of travel insurance. According to an American International Underwriters' survey of Hong Kong travel agents, the percentage of people taking out insurance when they travel has jumped from around 40% a year ago, to 60%. And travel industry experts say the surge has happened across Asia.
"Since 9/11 the awareness is increasing," says Manlo Cheung, managing director of Blue Cross (Asia Pacific) Insurance Ltd. in Hong Kong, which sold 30% more travel policies in the first three months of this year than in the same period last year. "People who used to only buy insurance for long trips are getting covered for even short trips of one or two days," Ms. Cheung says.

She is trying to make sure all the illegal aliens can vote in every election! This needs to be defeated.
I wish she'd quit thinking that she speaks for all of America. She wouldn't condescend speaking to us much less speaking for us. Shut her the hell up!
The ONLY reason she wants automatic voter registration,is so they can steal votes from people who don't vote.i hope the same Senate and the President but the squash on this.
That damned Trump and his wall. I got 210 keys of blow i need to get through. It s looking like I will have to bring it in through a port of entry.
How about making tax details available for all the people in office, going back the last ten years? Esp all the Congress and Senators as well as Presidents and Vice Presidents? Should be very interesting.

Cystic fibrosis in Europe: patients live longer but are we ready?

This study highlights the future challenge to deal with an ageing CF population and innovative, but expensive drugs http://ow.ly/JRCnx
Having passed the 25th anniversary of discovering the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, let's take a look forward to the next 25 years. Newborn screening, animal models, biomarkers, innovative drugs (prototypical CFTR modulators), and advances in lung transplantation have moved the field forward, probably faster than for any other lung disease in recent years [1–5]. As a consequence, the mean survival of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is steadily increasing and now exceeds 40 years of age in most European countries [6, 7] and beyond [8].
But no progress comes without a price. At least two major changes stir up the CF landscape today. 1) New drugs [9]: a CFTR potentiator (VX-770 known as ivacaftor) entered the market as the first mutation-specific therapy for a subgroup of patients with CF (∼5% of patients in Europe, carrying class 3 mutations). However, the costs of this drug pose a challenge for several CF healthcare systems, an issue gaining even broader relevance with the expected introduction of combined CFTR potentiators and correctors for patients with ΔF508, the most common mutation in CF [10]. 2) Demographics: the CF population ages with a transition from classical child-disease to adult-disease entity, resulting in a significantly higher proportion of adult CF patients in most industrialised countries [11]. But are we prepared for this change? To assess this issue at the European level, the European Respiratory Society (ERS) joined forces with the European Cystic Fibrosis Society (ECFS) in 2012 and initiated the ERS/ECF Task Force on The Provision of Care for Adults with Cystic Fibrosis in Europe. The findings from this task force are published in the current edition of the European Respiratory Journal [12]. The task force utilised CF patient registries in order to predict the number of CF patients by the year 2025, in 34 European countries. Although relying on population dynamics and statistical models, the findings from this study comprehensively demonstrate that the CF population in Europe will increase significantly (50%) by the year 2025. Stratifying estimated patient numbers according to age, the study forecasts that mainly the number of adult CF patients will increase (75%). The estimated rise in adult CF patients in Europe seems dramatic for some smaller Eastern European countries, which currently have low patient numbers and no established CF infrastructure, e.g. Moldova, Serbia and Slovenia are expected to have increases in CF patients of 212%, 168% and 164%, respectively, by the year 2025. However, European countries with pre-existing larger CF populations and established CF healthcare systems are predicted to face a substantial increase of their adult CF patients as well, for instance France, Belgium, Spain and Italy. The ERS/ECFS task force went beyond estimating future patient numbers and compared the gross national incomes (GNIs) of these countries. A special light should be shed on countries with a very low GNI. These countries are already facing serious problems in taking care of their CF patient population, e.g. in the Ukraine where not only adult but also child CF patients are forecasted to increase significantly in the future. These healthcare systems won't be prepared for the demographic change and the financial burden that comes with it.
Methodologically, the findings from this ERS/ECFS task force have highlighted the lack of high-quality patient registries in several European countries, thereby limiting the conclusions drawn from this study and underscoring that registries are indispensable for demographic research and should be promoted throughout Europe.
This first pan-European study of future CF demographics should remind us that early diagnosis and longer survival comes with a cost. It is the imperative responsibility of all CF healthcare professionals across Europe to plan ahead for the CF of tomorrow. To understand the demographics is the first, but should not be the last, step in order to optimise CF care, because patients should not pay the price for growing old with this disease.
