Kenya's Eunice Sum Sums up Great Performances by Kenyans in Moscow by Justin Lagat
By RBR Admin on August 20, 2013 3:00 AM | 0 Comments
Eunice Sum, who did not make it out of the 1,500 meter heats, won the 800 meters in Moscow, as the last medal won by Kenya in the World Champs. Justin Lagat reviews her fantastic race in this column.....

Kenya's Eunice Sum Sums up Great Performances by Kenyans in Moscow
by Justin Lagat
The first individual gold medal to be won in Moscow was in the women's marathon and it went to Edna Kiplagat of Kenya. The last individual gold medal was in the women's 800m and, coincidentally, it also went to Kenya's Eunice Sum. It just became a wonderful beginning on the first day and an amazing ending on the last for Kenya. The women 800m gold was a surprise win. The best we expected in this event was a bronze medal.
Sum had stayed at the best position an 800m athlete should stay in the first lap. She was just behind Montano of the USA, but keeping a slight distance between them. Being at that position enabled her to use Montano as her pace maker and benefitted too from the fact that she was using the shortest path of the lane while some of the athletes behind her would have to move a little to the outer part of the lane if they wanted to overtake. Montano crossed the 400m mark in 56.12 and Sum followed with the rest in 57.16. In the last 200m, Sum and the rest started closing in on Montano. With less than 100m to go, Sum was the first to run past her and continued to open a gap ahead. She crossed the finish line in a personal best time of 1:57.38. Mariya Savinova of Russia followed in 1:57.80. Brenda Martinez of USA crossed the line third in 1:57.91 before Alysia, who had not economized her energy in the first lap, and collapsed at the line in fourth place in 1:57.95.
After Sum's gold medal win, Kenya was in third place behind Russia and the US and all we were hoping was any other country to win one of the 4x100m relays and stop Jamaica from winning two other gold medals and making theirs six against the five we had collected. But, perhaps they also knew that they had to win the two medals, and they did it and ended up ahead of Kenya at the medal table. However, Kenya remained in third place in the total number of medals having collected a total of 12 medals. USA collected the highest number of medals totaling 25 while Russia was second with 17. Ethiopia followed Kenya with 10 medals while Jamaica completed the list of the top five with 7 medals.
While the Kenyan men had exhibited some of the surprisingly poor performances in the 800m and marathon events, their female counterparts had come up with some surprising victories as well to cover for that, notably in the 800m and in the steeplechase where Milcah Chemos won the first ever gold medal at the event for Kenya. Now that Kenyan women are beginning to dominate the world like their male counterparts, everything may look much better for Kenya in the next world event. A few things ought to be adjusted before then though. Athletics Kenya should find a way to cultivate interest in the best marathon runners in the country to want to represent the country at the world events. Also, long distance track athletes should hone their finishing skills. Another thing that I think should perhaps be considered are the trials to be conducted at lower altitudes, like in Mombasa or in Kisumu, because it appears the athletes who do well in high altitudes do not necessarily do well in lower altitudes.
Julius Yego is one athlete worth mentioning after he almost landed a medal for Kenya in the Javelin Throw. He had been in the bronze medal position before Russia's Dmitri Tarabin's final throw moved him to fourth position. He is a self disciplined, self coached and a hard working athlete who is so hungry to make history for Kenya in his event that I am almost certain that he will win a medal in the next championships.
All in all, it has really been another wonderful time here in Kenya watching the championships with neighbors seizing the opportunity to visit each other's houses after a long while, just in the name of coming to watch the championships. Some would bring with them their own seats, while others would stand against the wall after the few seats would have been occupied by the first ones to get into the house. In fact, I should now wind up this article and start returning some of the seats that were left by another neighbor in my house. It will be another very long time before I get such large number of visitors again in my house!

Eunice Sum,

The Basic Aerobatic Manual
by William K. Kershner
This book is the standard reference for flyers who want to learn aerobatics. Explore basic maneuvers from stalls and spins, to loops and rolls.

DescriptionSpecifications
The Basic Aerobatic Manual: With Spin and Upset Recovery Techniques, Second Edition, is a complete reference for the beginning aerobatic student, with invaluable unusual attitude and spin recovery information for the more straight-and-level flyer. This book emphasizes techniques for the Cessna Aerobat models, but the described maneuvers easily translate to other aerobatics-certified airplanes.
Starting with stalls, chandelles and lazy-8's, the student is guided through spins and the Three Fundamentals of basic aerobatics: the aileron roll, loop, and the snap roll. Once these basics are learned, the combination maneuvers (the cloverleaf, for example) are covered in-depth.
For the pilot more interested in flight safety than aerobatics, there is a chapter on unusual attitude (upset) recovery. Returning to controlled flight solely by reference to instruments is examined closely. The chapter on spins and spin recovery benefits from the knowledge gained in over 7,000 spins, each having from 3 to 25 turns, in the Cessna Aerobat.
William K. Kershner started his solo aerobatic career in a Stearman N2S at the age of 17. As a flight instructor, he later operated an aerobatic school in Sewanee, Tennessee using a Cessna 152 Aerobat, until his death in January, 2007.
Softcover, 8-1/4" x 10-3/4", 128 pages; illustrated throughout with black and white diagrams, figures, and the author's own illustrations.

NOA Lifetime Achievement Award
Joan Dornemann was honored with NOA's highest award, a Lifetime Achievement Award, at the closing banquet on Saturday, Jan. 8.
Joan Dornemann, Co-Founder, Artistic Director of The International Vocal Arts Institute and Assistant Conductor, is one of the most highly respected opera coaches in the world today. In her position as Assistant Conductor with the Metropolitan Opera, she has prepared the most prominent international artists for their performances at the Met. She has worked with such singers as Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, Montserrat Caballé, José Carreras, Sherrill Milnes, Kiri Te Kanawa, Renée Fleming, Deborah Voigt, Neil Shicoff, Juan Diego Flórez, and Anna Netrebko, among others. She has also collaborated with outstanding opera singers as an accompanist for many solo performances. Ms. Dornemann has been associated with the Gran Liceo in Barcelona, the Spoleto Festival, and the New York City Opera. At the Met she worked with such conductors as James Levine, James Conlon, and Carlos Kleiber. She prepared singers from the Kirov Opera for a recording of La Forza del destino and performances of Carmen and Aida under the baton of Valery Gergiev, and she was in charge of musical preparation for La Bohème and La Cenerentola at the Opéra de Paris. Ms. Dornemann was awarded an Emmy for her contribution to the highly acclaimed "Live from the Met" telecast of La Bohème with Luciano Pavarotti and Renata Scotto. She also teaches master classes throughout the world and is the author of Complete Preparation: A Guide to Auditioning for the Opera. She was honored by the city of Tel Aviv, which issued a commemorative stamp bearing her picture, and she received an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Montreal.
"Lift Every Voice" Legacy Award
Barbara Hill Moore is this year's recipient of the "Lift Every Voice" Legacy Award, given at the closing banquet on Saturday, Jan. 8.
Barbara Hill Moore is Senior Associate Dean for Faculty and Meadows Foundation Distinguished Professor of Voice at SMU Meadows School of the Arts. She began teaching at Meadows in 1974 and served as chair of the voice department from 1977 through 1992. Professor Hill Moore has performed with orchestras throughout the United States and Europe. She was a frequent performer in Western Europe, especially Germany, where she sang in opera, concert and recital, premiering the works of many American composers. She sang in Theater Des Westens in Berlin, was a guest with the Nürnberg and Kiel symphony orchestras and sang concerts of American music annually from 1983 through 2009. She was invited on many occasions to sing in the summer music festivals in Germany, including the Zelt Music Festival in Freiburg, where she premiered songs written for her by American composer Simon Sargon. It was following a concert of American art songs in Freiburg that Justis Franz invited her to sing a recital for the guest of honor, Leonard Bernstein, in a weekend celebration of his 70th birthday during the Schleswig Holstein Musik Festival. Opera lovers in Berlin know Professor Hill Moore for her interpretation of Jenny in Kurt Weill's Threepenny Opera, which she sang in more than 50 performances in Berlin and Cologne, repeating the role with the Pittsburgh Opera in Philadelphia. She sang the role of Serena in the 50th anniversary performances of Gershwin's Porgy and Bess in Charleston, South Carolina. Afterwards, she sang the role of Bess with the Florentine Opera, in opera productions and in concerts throughout Europe and North America. Other roles include Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni with the Houston Ebony Opera and the title roles in Dido and Aeneas and Aida. Most recent performances include Samuel Barber's Knoxville: Summer of 1915 with the SMU Meadows Symphony Orchestra, Hector Berlioz's Les Nuits d'Eté with the Sherman Symphony, Porgy and Bess with the Victoria Symphony and solo recitals in Nürnberg, Hannover, Hameln, Heilbronn and Weilheim, Germany, and Numana and Ancona, Italy. In October 2017 she was invited to sing a concert of American music in the 7th International Festival of Strings in Sarajevo, Bosnia.
Her recent focus has been in serving as master teacher, mentor and advisor to aspiring young vocal artists in classes, private lessons and advisory sessions throughout the U.S. and South Africa. She has worked with singers in master classes throughout North America, Europe, Asia and Africa. In 2000, Professor Hill Moore began a long relationship with the University of South Africa in Johannesburg, Tshwane University of Technology in Pretoria, the University of Cape Town, the University of Western Cape near Cape Town, University of the North-west in Potchefstroom, Nelson Mandela University (previously known as the University of Port Elizabeth), the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, Stellenbosch University (near Cape Town) and the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Durban, South Africa.
The inspiring conference Keynote Address was given by Dr. Todd Queen at the opening luncheon on Thursday, Jan. 6.
Dr. Todd Queen was recently appointed as Dean of the College of Music at Florida State University. Queen came to Florida State from the LSU College of Music & Dramatic Arts, where he served as Dean and Penniman Family Professor of Music, a position he held from 2014 - 2021. His unique combination of teaching, directing, and performing experience has allowed him to travel the world as an educator, stage director, singer, and arts leader.
During his time at LSU, Queen worked with the faculty to modernize the undergraduate curriculum to meet the needs of the 21st century artist. New courses included instruction in technology, marketing, entrepreneurship, and arts leadership. An avid fundraiser, Queen led the college in a $60 million fundraising campaign, which included a $4M gift in 2018, the largest gift in the college's history. Additional significant gifts included two new endowed chairs, the lead gift for a recital hall renovation, and the naming of the John G. Turner and Jerry G. Fischer Center for Opera. Queen is also a strong advocate for international study and has traveled to Asia on multiple occasions to forge a partnership with East China Normal University in Shanghai, where he was named Visiting Professor. He has spent over a dozen summers in Italy, working with Opera Orvieto and Operafestival di Roma, where he currently serves as Executive Director.
Prior to his appointment at LSU, he served as Professor of Voice and Chair of the Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance in the College of Liberal Arts at Colorado State University. In 2012, Queen was the catalyst for the formation of the LEAP (Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Arts Advocacy and the Public) Institute for the Arts at Colorado State, an interdisciplinary academic unit that houses both an undergraduate minor and graduate program in Arts Leadership and Administration. During his time at CSU, Queen established ten new endowed scholarships for the department and formed the Charles and Reta Ralph Opera Center at CSU, one of a handful of named opera programs in the United States. Queen joined the CSU voice faculty in 2001 as Assistant Professor of Voice and Director of Colorado State Opera Theatre.
Raves from Past Conferences
I found this year's NOA conference the most inspiring of any I have attended. Here I was amongst colleagues who are curious, open to new ideas, and genuinely committed to educating performers. I left feeling excited, motivated, and thrilled to explore new possibilities.
Ann Baltz, educator, director, and pianist
My only regret about attending this amazing conference was the fact I spent much of my time kicking myself in the head for not joining NOA 30 years ago. I missed so much, but; I'm so happy to be part of this wonderful group now. Never too late!!

Apologies for not getting over to visit your blogs, ROWers. It's been a challenging couple of days. I'll be making my rounds a bit late, but I'm already buoyed by all the progress I've seen mentioned in the comments. Yes! Rowers Rule!
Short check-in, here… as I said, a challenging (not bad, just challenging) couple of days. Hope you all are having a great half-week. Let us know in the comments or at our FB page.
Oh, and a small PS here: Will be announcing plans for the next Round of Words (officially starts on the 31st, but we'll be doing our first check-in on Jan 2), this Sunday. If you have any ideas or suggestions for things you'd like to have us do, let me know. And have a great week of creativity.
I'm off to – a start with the changing focus of this month…..
Yup. A start. And the run-up to the finish lines of this Round/Year.
Have you posted your goals?
Twice a week on Wednesdays and Sundays!
Read Me! and Come Find Us!
Find us on Twitter at #ROW80!


It is now 8:30 at night and I am finally home. After work, I had to run to Target to pick up a few things including a prescription. The ambian that my new doc proscribed just doesn't work for me. Oh it puts me to sleep but 2 to 3 hours later I am wide awake and not able to get back to sleep. This has been going on for almost a month. Since she only gave me a 30 day supply with no refills, I picked up a refill of my trazadone. At least I know that I can sleep on it.
The first thing that I did once I unloaded the bags and fed the dogs was hit up my tea supply. Since it is evening, I didn't want a tea with a lot of caffiene. Just something to help me relax and brighten up my day/evening. As I have mentioned before, I review teas for Teaviews and one of the teas that I sampled recently was a Jasmine white tea and it was wonderful. So I set some of what I had left to brewing. The scent of jasmine wafting about my kitchen and I start to relax. Now I sitting in my recliner with my laptop and my tea. Just the scent and taste is enough to make my day better. Now I can laugh at my monday. Isn't it strange how some hot water and some leaves can change a person's whole perspective.
I sure hope that you had a good Monday and a better Tuesday!

Classes are generally thought through online programs with the help of tutors that make sure that the student gets the most out of their schooling. Our programs also offer SAT preparation and some college courses for those who qualify.
Some of the programs that are offered do have some co-ed activities and groups in a highly supervised setting. It can be important for boys to interact with girls in an appropriate and structured manor.
Studies have shown that the best option for teenage boys entering treatment is to enroll in an inpatient gender specific program for addiction. When a teen has low motivation and really doesn't believe that there is a problem entering into an inpatient program can provide the individual the tools necessary to ensure that their continued success.
Once the young man has finished their program at one of our centers they are encouraged to follow up treatment with consoling and aftercare treatment further insuring and reinforcing what was learned while involved in an inpatient drug and alcohol treatment program for teen boys.
SAMHSA reported , that almost 25 million young people aged 12 and older are current illegal drug users, or they had used drugs within the past month. Marijuana is the drug most commonly used by teens. In 2013 alone, almost 20 million (7.5 percent of Americans aged 12 and older) were marijuana users — a jump from about 6 percent in 2007. Abuse of other drugs, such as cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens and prescription painkillers, was relatively unchanged from 2012 to 2013, the researchers added.
If you feel that your son has a problem with addiction or is exerting behavioral problems please give us a call and we can start discussing options for their treatment plan.

Q: mongodb aggregate orders to group by date with list of products and quantity I have been banging my head with this problem of several days now. I have the following Order schema:
order_no: Number,
timestamp: { type: Date, default: Date.now },
total: Number,
details: [
    item:   String,
    price:  Number,
    qty:    Number,
    amt:    Number
]

A sample of the Orders collection:
[ {

How would i go about aggregate to output the following:
{
    "_id": {
        "day": 24, "month": 2, "year": 2017
    },
    "products": [
        item: "Product A", totalqty: 3, totalamt: 270,
        item: "Product B", totalqty: 2, totalamt: 180,
        item: "Product C", totalqty: 1, totalamt: 90,
        item: "Product D", totalqty: 5, totalamt: 450,
    ]
},
{
    "_id": {
        "day": 25, "month": 2, "year": 2017
    },
    "products": [
        item: "Product A", totalqty: 1, totalamt: 90,
        item: "Product B", totalqty: 2, totalamt: 180,
        item: "Product C", totalqty: 3, totalamt: 270,
    ]
}, etc, etc

Help me please find how to do the grouping for each date with a list of each products with their total quantity and total amount.

A: You can try below aggregation.
$unwind the details and first $group by timestamp and item and calculate the total quantity and amount and final $group by timestamp to push the item with previously calculated quantity  and amount values into products.
db.orders.aggregate({
    $unwind: "$details"
}, {
    $group: {
        _id: {
            month: {$month: "$timestamp"},
            day: {$dayOfMonth: "$timestamp"},
            year: {$year: "$timestamp"},
            item: "$details.item"
        },
        totalqty: {$sum: "$details.qty"},
        totalamt: {$sum: "$details.amt"}
    }
}, {
    $group: {
        _id: {
            month: "$_id.month",
            day: "$_id.day",
            year: "$_id.year"
        },
        products: {
            $push: {
                item: "$_id.item",
                totalqty: "$totalqty",
                totalamt: "$totalamt"
            }
        }
    }
})

A: In case you are using mongoose here is the total solution:
Then you can follow @Veeram's solution as you first need to unwind the details array to convert each item of detail to a new document. Then you can group by documents by product id and day (here we are using aggregation framework's date helper functions such as $month, $dayOfMonth and $year). Lastly if you need to put all the products of a day under an array you can groupBy day. You can learn more about how the groupBy works in aggregation through official docs: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/group/
const Promise = require("bluebird");
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/myapp');
const schema = {
  order_no: Number,
  timestamp: {type: Date, default: Date.now},
  total: Number,
  details: [{
    item: String,
    price: Number,
    qty: Number,
    amt: Number
  }]
};

const ordersSchema = new mongoose.Schema(schema, {collection: "orders"});
const ordersCollection = mongoose.model("Orders", ordersSchema);

const aggregations = [];
aggregations.push({$unwind: "$details"});
aggregations.push({
  $group: {
    _id: {
      month: {$month: "$timestamp"},
      day: {$dayOfMonth: "$timestamp"},
      year: {$year: "$timestamp"},
      productId: "$details.item"
    },
    totalQuantity: {$sum: "$details.qty"},
    totalAmount: {$sum: "$details.amt"}
  }
});
aggregations.push({
  $group: {
    _id: {month: "$_id.month", day: "$_id.day", year: "$_id.year"},
    productSummaries: {
      $push: {
        item: "$_id.productId",
        totalQuantity: "$totalqty",
        totalAmount: "$totalamt"
      }
    }
  }
});

ordersCollection.aggregate(aggregations).then(results => results.forEach(result => console.log(result))).catch(err => console.error(err));

BOC to collaborate with CSIRO on revolutionary $3.4m hydrogen project
BOC will support CSIRO during its $3.4 million ammonia to hydrogen cracking and membrane purification project that is set to revolutionise the global supply chain for hydrogen.
Bob Carr Posted on 22 August 2017 1 Comment
Sydney, 22 August 2017: BOC, a member of The Linde Group, one of the world's leading gases and engineering companies, will support CSIRO during its $3.4 million ammonia to hydrogen cracking and membrane purification project that is set to revolutionise the global supply chain for hydrogen.
Dr Michael Dolan Principal Research Scientist at CSIRO and Alex Dronoff BOC at CSIRO's Pullenvale site
As part of a recently signed collaboration agreement, BOC will contribute in-kind gas products, equipment and technical expertise worth in excess of $100,000 for the two-year project now underway at CSIRO's test site in Pullenvale, Brisbane.
BOC will supply ammonia, which will be cracked and purified into pure hydrogen by the modular membrane technology unit developed by CSIRO. BOC engineers will also assist with compressing the hydrogen and storing it in special cylinder packs, then distributing it to customers on the Australian east coast for use in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
General Manager Hydrogen Alex Dronoff says BOC is proud to be working with CSIRO researchers as they take a significant step forward in hydrogen technology, paving the way for a renewable hydrogen export market that could meet rising demand in emerging markets Europe, Japan and South Korea.
"As the only global organisation with expertise and technology that covers the entire hydrogen supply chain, BOC and The Linde Group are committed to working with Australian researchers and industry to help advance the global transition towards clean hydrogen for mobility and energy.
"We look forward to sharing our extensive experience with CSIRO as they enter the final development stages of the membrane technology device – providing advice on generation and storage, right through to transportation and refuelling of hydrogen-powered vehicles."

CSIRO Energy Director Karl Rodrigues is excited by the growing global momentum to develop hydrogen energy systems, and the potential for a hydrogen export industry to benefit Australia.
"We're pleased to be partnering with industry – including BOC – and look forward to applying CSIRO innovation to facilitate the creation of new low emissions energy markets."
Dronoff adds the CSIRO project is a vital technology breakthrough that complements much of the pioneering work that The Linde Group has been driving for decades.
"With more than 150 fuelling stations built worldwide and over 1.5 million refuelling operations completed, Linde is continuously working on the expansion of hydrogen infrastructure. In August 2016 Linde launched BeeZero, the world's first hydrogen-powered carsharing service – and is a joint partner of the Energie Park Mainz project that produces and stores renewable hydrogen for mobility applications generated by electrolysis through wind energy at a grid-relevant scale.
"With this CSIRO technology, it will be easier and faster to replicate this success on an even larger scale. We are certainly excited by the significant role that Australia will play in making renewable hydrogen a fuel of the future."

The greatest adventure and saddest irony--taught alike by teachers to students and students to teachers--is that the big picture of history is writ small and ruthlessly unforgiving in each life--indeed, in every moment.
109 min. Fox Searchlight Pictures. Directors: Nicholas Hytner, Nicholas Hytner, Nick Starr. Cast: Richard Griffiths, Clive Merrison, Frances De La Tour, Stephen Campbell Moore, Dominic Cooper.
It's a perennial pastime of film critics to put this axe to the grindstone: plays don't translate well to film. Certainly there's something to this old chestnut: film is its own unique medium, and just as cinema's freedom of scope and editing isn't always practical or even possible on the stage, so too are the limitations of stage not always advisable on the screen (hence the screenwriting practice of "opening up" a play by adding more—and more visually appealing—settings and action).
And yet, in both mediums, content is supreme. The medium need not be the message and, to be frank, hardly ever should be. Which brings us to Alan Bennett's The History Boys, a theatrical phenomenon on the West End (where it won Olivier Awards for "Best New Play", "Best Actor," and "Best Direction") and Broadway (a record six Tony Awards, including "Best Play", "Best Director of a Play", "Best Featured Actress," and "Best Actor"). Just after the Broadway run, the play's director Nicholas Hytner (The Madness of King George) collected the much-lauded cast to immortalize the piece on film, and the results are suitably impressive.
The screen robs the play of one dimension, and Bennett's theatricality cannot be hidden, but the transcendent pleasures of Bennett's play remain intact: crackling dialogue, vibrant performances all around, and a depth of emotion and intellect. Though technically set in 1983 Yorkshire, The History Boys isn't limited by time and place; it's the sort of film that seems to be about everything: the theory and value of education, the multiplicity of sexuality, growing pains, moral choice, nostalgia, professional competition, feminism, the role of art in our lives, and indeed how a life should be spent.
Richard Griffiths plays Hector, a British prep school's roly-poly, chipmunk-toothed teaching institution. His name betrays his Grecian values, from the Socratic method to his eyebrow-raising penchant for enjoying the company of boys. Though stressed out about their applications to Oxford or Cambridge, his students appreciate Hector's irreverence and cultural enthusiasm while laughing off his sexual peccadillos.
Everything changes when the school's stuffy headmaster (Clive Merrison) brings in younger, leaner instructor Irwin (Stephen Campbell Moore) to teach to the tests. As the adults—including Frances de la Tour's whip-smart Mrs. Lintott—debate how best to serve their young charges, the lads reveal bundles of contrary impulses. Fun-loving but capable of self-absorbed aloofness, gifted but nerve-wracked over their futures, "clever, but...crass," the boys bond over their collective social and hormonal plight.
As ever, the biggest teenage wild card is sex: a prize still elusive and mysterious, Hector's copped feels notwithstanding. Provocateur Dakin (Dominic Cooper) has a volatile mix of attractiveness, overconfidence, and sexual adventure, while his younger foil Posner (Samuel Barnett) laments, "I'm a Jew, I'm small, I'm homosexual, and I live in Sheffield. I'm fucked." Hector's class—which celebrates cultural literacy by way of theatrical and musical performance, object lessons in foreign language, and spirited, irreverent debate—proves irresistable to young minds, though they also know enough to intuit that Irwin may be their best hope for success at the gauntlet of college exams and interviews.
Hytner's simple approach is to follow the action, often with a handheld camera capturing the electricity of Hector's classroom and the boys' youthful energy. The direction and the performances soar because of a well-developed empathy. Hector's transgressions are hardly excused (though the boys are past the age of consent, the teacher clearly abuses his position), but Griffiths makes his hurt poignant and as palpable as his pedagogical brilliance. If his sex drive waylays him, his heart is always in the right place, as he exhorts his boys to retain at least one lesson, to pass on what they've learned.
The greatest adventure and saddest irony—taught alike by teachers to students and students to teachers—is that the big picture of history is writ small and ruthlessly unforgiving in each life—indeed, in every moment. Lintott encapsulates this history in the making as "the utter randomness of things." Though less poetic, one student's description is no less apt: "it's just one fucking thing after another."

Five Finger Death Punch are thrilled to be hitting the road for a massive series of co-headlining North American dates with Breaking Benjamin this summer. As special guests, they will bring along two of the most exciting new rock acts in the world: 3X GRAMMY Award-nominees Nothing More and Bad Wolves who are currently dominating the #1 spots on the mainstream, Rock and Metal charts in multiple countries around the world with their cover version of The Cranberries' "Zombie". The video for "Zombie" has garnered more than 15 million views in 2 weeks. The track has reached 3.2m streams and hit #3 on Spotify's Viral Global Top 50, as well as #4 on Spotify's Viral US Top 50. "Zombie" will appear on the band's debut album Disobey, due out May 18. Rolling Stone described the song, "Bad Wolves' interpretation of "Zombie" is moody like the Cranberries', though the instrumentation sounds clearer and more cutting."
The summer amphitheater tour, co-produced by Live Nation and Frank Productions, kicks off on July 16, 2018 in Seattle, WA and will make stops in 32 North American cities. Last week, select dates were announced via Live Nation's Ticket To Rock program. Today, all dates are now available and VIP presale begins today at 12:00 PM EST.

"When I'm asked for a tour quote I'm always scratching my head… Is there anything to add?" says Five Finger Death Punch guitarist, Zoltan Bathory. "We are putting together 2018's biggest Hard Rock tour of the Summer; where even the first band on the bill has a massive hit single around the world. There will be fire, there will be lights and it's going to be loud. An experience you can't just download, you have to be there. We all get about 80 summers in our lifetimes, so make them count."
"This is the type of tour package that is all too rare nowadays," adds Larry Frank, Owner Frank Productions/Live Nation. "Five Finger Death Punch, Breaking Benjamin, Nothing More, and Bad Wolves is the kind of tour that keeps music alive and exciting and at the same time introduces the audience to newer bands that will become the next generation of arena rock acts."
Fans purchasing a ticket to the tour will also support a good cause. The co-headliners will donate $0.50 from each ticket sold to two charity organizations close to their hearts. Five Finger Death Punch has chosen C.O.P.S – Concerns Of Police Survivors, an organization whose mission is rebuilding shattered lives of survivors and co-workers affected by line of duty deaths, through partnerships with law enforcement and the community. Breaking Benjamin has chosen Prevent Child Abuse America to help counteract the abuse and neglect of our nation's children by promoting services that improve child well-being and developing programs that help to prevent all types of abuse and neglect.
The current singles of Five Finger Death Punch ("Gone Away", #6), Breaking Benjamin ("Red Cold River", #4) and Nothing More ("Do You Really Want it?", #7) have all entered the U.S. Top Ten Rock Chart with Bad Wolves closely following on their heels with "Zombie" at #14.
Five Finger Death Punch's current single, "Gone Away" (their own rendition of The Offspring's 1997 hit single) has received over 7 million streams since its debut, over 15 million video views on YouTube and topped the iTunes rock and metal charts globally. The song continues to climb up the rock charts and is already at #6 this week. Check out the official video for "Gone Away" and the lyric video.
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH is Ivan Moody (vocals), Zoltan Bathory (guitar), Jeremy Spencer (drums), Jason Hook (guitar) and Chris Kael (bass).

It's easy to visit the vending machine during a long shift for a quick bag of Doritos or a pick-me-up can of Red Bull. It's just as tempting to grab a high-calorie juice smoothie after a good workout. But if you really want to step up your game when fueling up, consider these healthier, high-energy options.
Go for complex carbohydrates, if you can. These foods often rank low on the glycemic index—that is, they're absorbed more slowly into the bloodstream, which can result in a slow and steady energy boost. Although simple carbohydrates will provide a quick kick of energy, such high-glycemic foods can also result in an equally sudden drop in blood glucose levels—a sugar crash—which saps your energy.
Try these treats that are on the lower end of the glycemic index.
A handful of almonds contains a heap of nutrition. A single serving (1 oz) provides 6 g of protein and a variety of nutrients and antioxidants (found in the brown skin), such as vitamin E, manganese, magnesium, copper, riboflavin, and phosphorus. Almonds are low in carbs, high in fiber (making you feel full), and they provide a healthy dose of monosaturated fats. Bonus: chomping down crunchy almonds can blow off some stress.
Although an apple a day won't really keep the doctor away, it does make for a great snack when you're on the go. Just one medium-sized apple, with the skin, provides almost 20% of the recommended daily amount of fiber. Apples are on the lower end of the glycemic index and take longer to digest than other fruits, so they provide a more prolonged lift of energy.
Bananas are a good source of energy because they contain some tasty carbs (about 27 g for a medium-sized banana) and about 12% of your recommended daily amount of fiber. They're also a good source of potassium, an electrolyte that's important for glycogen processing. Spread on peanut or almond butter for an extra punch of protein.
Beans (legumes) are a great nutrient-rich, low-glycemic food. But beans don't make for a great snack when you're in a hurry. Come to think of it, a handful of beans doesn't make for a great snack even when you're not in a hurry. But dry roasted chickpeas are the exception. They crunch like peanuts, but they have a fraction of the saturated fat and nearly double the amount of fiber. You can buy dry roasted chickpeas in the supermarket or, better yet, easily make them yourself.
A complete protein contains all the essential amino acids, and eggs are the highest form of complete protein of any food. One large egg contains 6 g of protein and 14 important nutrients, including folate, iron, zinc, choline, and vitamins A, B12, D, and E—all for just 70 calories. Pack a hard-boiled egg for a portable, protein-filled snack.
Despite their delectably sweet taste, oranges are still on the lower end of the glycemic index. Because they're high in vitamin C, potassium, and folate, oranges are a refreshing and replenishing after-workout food. Eat orange segments from the peeled fruit to benefit from the pectin and fiber in its membranes.
Yogurt has received some bad press recently for having added sugar, but it can still be a healthy, energy-boosting snack to revive your get-up-and-go. A 3.5-oz serving of plain yogurt (Greek or whole milk) has 4 g of sugar, 9 g of protein, and healthy doses of calcium, phosphorus, riboflavin, and vitamin B12. In addition, yogurt contains probiotic bacteria that are believed to improve gut health. Toss in some blueberries for extra flavor, energy, and antioxidants.
Last but not least, don't forget the chocolate. This sweet treat not only supplies energy but can also be a useful source of antioxidants. Believe it or not, chocolate is on the lower end of the glycemic index. Researchers believe that this is because chocolate's high fat content slows the rate that the stomach releases sugars into the intestine, as well as the speed that the blood then absorbs these sugars. Still, chocolate is a high-calorie food—so consider it a treat rather than a daily snack. Dip chocolate in peanut or almond butter for an extra boost of protein or drop semi-sweet chocolate chips into plain yogurt.


Sooo, it happened last year and the car has been sitting in my driveway since. It happened as I started the car up. It just clattered to a stop. On the second crank, it made a sound I have heard before; the sound of no compression. My question is, does anyone have any idea of what this would cost to fix? The car is a 2010 with about 121K on it, and I am debating on repairing it, or selling the car, BT kit, everything I have for VW along with it. If this was an MKIV, I would have ripped it apart, fixed it, and been driving it already. I would love to do the repair myself, but I have a degree of concern on working on these engines.
Don't these have the cams with the pressed on lobes as well, so those often get ruined/spin when they crash as well? Bummer.
I'll know more once I start ripping into it. I'm tempted to just get a boneyard engine and swap that in, once I replace the chain tensioner. Seems like the cheapest route that I can go at this point.
A firned of mine @ work recently sold a B6 A4 Avant that had this happen to it 2 days after he sold it... Buyer beware!
ill make a really long story short. find a good used engine on ebay with a warranty and swap it in. i bought an engine with 26k and it included intake, exhaust, and turbo. This is 25% of the amount of work it takes to swap in a new head and costs much less in the long run.

Oderzo is known for its ruins and cobblestone streets, but once a week it comes alive!
Vendors come to town to sell a plethora of merchandise and local produce. Most Italian cities of any size have a weekly market day, but Oderzo's is larger than most.
Spend the day wondering around this famous market, followed by a siesta in the afternoon. Then in the evening enjoy the first of our traditional cooking classes hosted by Chef Marco Salvestrin.
Caorle is a pleasant and popular seaside resort in the Veneto region of Italy, north of Venice. It has large beaches on the Adriatic, a pretty and colourful historic centre, and fascinating fishing traditions which can be glimpsed on an excursion along the waterways of Caorle's lagoon.
Today the historic town centre spreads out around the Via Terrà, a street full of shops and cafès. Losing oneself on walk through the unique atmosphere narrow lanes and streets lined with brightly-painted houses, 'campielli' (small squares) with restaurants and bars is a pleasure.
This is an Italian ritual that varies in tradition from region to region. The Venetian aperitif is a time for socialising.
The people of Venice meet before dinner to enjoy an aperitif with local wine and starters.
Hang out in the bacari, a small bar with an intimate atmosphere and a large variety of cicchetti—fish, meat, and vegetables.
Home to the famous Mosaic School, Spilimbergo is notably known as "the Town of Mosaic" and is the capital of ornamental mosaic, for floors and walls decorations, as witnessed by the remarkable and precious works of art made by the school and by the town ateliers.
Spilimbergo is very quiet in the middle of the day, but it is a bustling, busy place during shopping hours. Market day (Saturday) has everyone in town here to shop, eat, drink, and socialise.
Here we will visit the vineyard/winery Traverso which is located in the hills of Fruili.
Conegliano is a cheerful and attractive historic town in wine-producing country close to the foothills of the Alps in the Veneto, northern Italy. The historic centre, on a hillside, is compact, and although the town has more recently sprawled over the plain below, it still retains a welcoming small-town feel. Conegliano (pronounced Conelyano) is a good stop on a tour of the Veneto, or a pleasant day out from nearby Treviso or Venice.
We will spend the morning exploring the towns of Conegliano and Tre Panoce, followed by lunch at a local restaurant then visiting Bassano.
Bassano del Grappa is located to the north-east of the Veneto region of north-east Italy, in the province of Vicenza. The town is best known for its medieval bridge. It is also known for where they make wine spirits otherwise known as Grappa!
Following this, we will visit the famous Cipriani Hotel for lunch, a timeless place where elegance and charm are found in every detail!
We can't think of a better way to spend the last day in Italy than on a boat cruizing around Lake Garda, taking in the local sights, eating local produce and enjoying Italy at its finest.

"'Hands of Time' is the 21st album to come from the climax blues band, consisting of 13 brand new tracks, plus a bonus un-released track 'getting there' with the late colin cooper.
It was recorded at Silk Mill Studio's in Staffordshire, UK.
A mixture of bluesy funk, soul and jazz rock, all of the ingredients that have kept the band working for over 50yrs.
The album has a fresher more modern feel to it than on previous releases and is being well received by the industry.
You can hear a selection of the new songs played live by the band when they embark on their major UK and European tour staring in 2019 to promote the album's release.
A sample EP 'Tempus Fugit' was released in 2017 to great acclaim and sold out very quickly."

Newspapers that mention the Cook bill at all tend to treat it as a quixotic oddity. Most people do not know that it exists, and some legislators have professed not to have heard of it.
By Ellen Willis
Published in the print edition of the February 22, 1969, issue.
In each of the past three years, the New York State Legislature has defeated proposals to liberalize the state's eighty-six-year-old criminal-abortion statute, which permits an abortion only when the operation is necessary to preserve a pregnant woman's life. Now a reform bill introduced by State Assemblyman Albert H. Blumenthal, of New York County, appears likely to pass. It would amend "life" to "health," and give relief to women who are physically or mentally unequipped to care for a child or who risk bearing a deformed child, to victims of rape and incest, and to the very young. A second bill is also pending. Sponsored by Assemblywoman Constance Cook, of the 125th Assembly District, it would repeal the abortion law entirely and make abortion available on the same basis as any other medical treatment. The repeal bill has received little public attention. Newspapers that mention it at all tend to treat it as a quixotic oddity. Most people do not know that the Cook bill exists, and some legislators, when asked for their support, have professed not to have heard of it. A number of women's organizations, however, are very much aware of the repeal proposal and are determined to spread the word. These groups are part of a revived—and increasingly militant—feminist movement. They include the National Organization for Women (NOW), the radical October Seventeenth Movement (a split-off from NOW), and Women's Liberation, a collective label for radical feminist groups formed by women activists who found that men on the left too often expected them to type, make coffee, and keep quiet. Whatever their ideological differences, feminists have united on the abortion issue. They oppose Blumenthal's reforms—or any reforms—and demand total repeal. Abortion legislation, they assert, is class legislation, imposed on women by a male-supremacist society, and deprives women of control over their bodies. They argue that women should not have to petition doctors (mostly male) to grant them as a privilege what is really a fundamental right, and that only the pregnant woman herself can know whether she is physically and emotionally prepared to bear a child.
Last Thursday, the Joint Legislative Committee on the Problems of Public Health convened in the Public Health Building, at 125 Worth Street, to hear a panel of expert witnesses—doctors, lawyers, and clergymen selected for their knowledge of medical, legal, and social problems connected with abortion—who were to comment on the law and suggest modifications. About thirty women, including City Councilman Carol Greitzer, came to the hearings to demonstrate against reform and for repeal, against more hearings and for immediate action, and against the Committee's concept of expertise. "The only real experts on abortion are women," read a leaflet distributed by Women's Liberation. "Women who have known the pain, fear, and socially imposed guilt of an illegal abortion. Women who have seen their friends dead or in agony from a post-abortion infection. Women who have had children by the wrong man, at the wrong time, because no doctor would help them." The demonstrators, about half of them young women and half middle-aged housewives and professionals, picketed outside the building until the proceedings began, at 10 A.M. Then they filed into the hearing room. The eight members of the Joint Committee—all male—were lined up on a platform facing the audience. The chairman, State Senator Norman F. Lent, announced that the purpose of the meeting was not to hear public opinion but, rather, to hear testimony from "experts familiar with the psychological and sociological facts." Of the fifteen witnesses listed on the agenda, fourteen were men; the lone woman was a nun.
The first witness, the chairman of the Governor's commission on abortion reform, began enumerating the commission's recommendations. Suddenly, a young, neatly dressed woman seated near the front stood up. "O.K., folks," she said. "Now it's time to hear from the real experts. I don't mean the public opinion you're so uninterested in. I mean concrete evidence from the people who really know—women. I can tell you the psychological and sociological effect the law has had on me—it's made me angry! It's made me think about things like forcing doctors to operate at gunpoint."
It took several minutes for Senator Lent to collect himself and try to restore order. By that time, several other women were on their feet, shouting.
"Where are the women on your panel?" one woman said.
"I had an abortion when I was seventeen. You don't know what that's like," another said. "Men don't get pregnant. Men don't rear children. They just make the laws," said a third.
Senator Lent began, "If you girls can organize yourselves and elect a spokesman—"
"We don't want a spokesman! We all want to testify!" a woman cried.
"But wait a minute, dear—" the Senator began.
"Don't call me 'dear'! Would you call a black person 'boy'?" the woman shouted.
The committee quickly adjourned the hearing and announced that there would be a closed executive session in an upstairs room.
Senator Seymour Thaler, who has been long associated with hospital reform, and who is himself a proponent of the Cook bill, was furious with the women. "What have you accomplished?" he called out. "There are people here who want to do something for you!"
"We're tired of being done for! We want to do, for a change!" one of the women replied.
Upstairs, police barred the door, and the women stood outside shouting, "We are the experts!" Women's Liberation sent in a formal request to testify, and the committee replied that two women might speak after the other witnesses had finished. The women were not satisfied ("It's a back-of-the-bus compromise!" "They just want to stall us till the newspapermen go home"), but half a dozen members of Women's Liberation decided to stick it out. All of them were under thirty, and half were married. Two had had illegal abortions; one had had a child and given it up for adoption; one had a friend who had nearly died because she hesitated to go to the hospital after a badly done seven-hundred-dollar operation.
As it turned out, the women waited for seven hours, sitting on the floor in the corridor, because the authorities, afraid of further disruption, would not let them into the hearing room. Finally, three women were permitted to speak. They talked about their experiences and demanded a public hearing that would be devoted entirely to the expert testimony of women.
The legislators would not agree to this. "Why do you assume we're against you?" one senator asked. "Four of the witnesses were for repeal. They said the same things you've been saying."
"There's a political problem you're overlooking," said the last of the women to speak. "In this society, there is an imbalance in power between men and women, just as there is between whites and blacks. You and your experts may have the right ideas, but you're still men talking to each other. We want to be consulted. Even if we accepted your definition of expert—and we don't—couldn't you find any female doctors or lawyers?"
"I agree with you about the law," Senator Thaler said. "But you're just acting out your personal pique against men."
"Not personal pique—political grievance! " the final speaker replied.
"All I can say," Senator Thaler declared, in conclusion, "is that you're the rudest bunch of people I've ever met."
The meeting broke up, and everyone began drifting out. "Well, we're probably the first women ever to talk about our abortions in public," one woman said. "That's something, anyway." ♦

Access MBA and Access Masters Tour
Mar 1, 2012 | Career
Mumbai, The Leela Mumbai
The two prestigious business education events offer a unique opportunity for qualified MBA and Masters candidates to meet with an elite selection of international business school representatives.
On March 17th the Access MBA event will be held for the first time in Mumbai, giving experienced business professionals the chance to meet face-to-face admissions directors from top ranked universities. For the first time, we are simultaneously organizing the Access Masters event destined for students in their last year of university study and residents interested in pursuing a specialised masters programme abroad.
Taking Careers Further with an MBA Degree
As many companies struggle to rebuild and expand their activity after the economic crisis, an increasing number have shifted their hiring focus and are now recruiting qualified MBA graduates. Two-thirds of the companies participating in the latest Graduate Management Admission Council's Corporate Recruiter's Survey planned to hire MBA graduates for mid-level positions. Now almost a prerequisite for a business management position, the MBA degree is a great asset for career-focused individuals. The general consensus is that MBA graduates are more qualified to take on business-building tasks than employees without such experience.
The Access MBA Tour's One-to-One format is a unique and effective way to match MBA candidates who meet schools' admissions criteria. When registering online, candidates provide information about their personal and professional profile. Before the event, Access MBA matches the candidates with the MBA programmes that meet their needs and criteria, and at the event the candidates speak with MBA Admission Directors during 20-minute meetings. Event participants can also benefit from free orientation sessions with Access MBA's experienced consultants and GMAT test preparation advisors.
"The MBA One-to-One format that we created 8 years ago has become the new standard of graduate recruitments amongst top international business schools" says Christophe Coutat, founder and CEO of Advent Group, organizer of the Access MBA and Access Masters Tours.
MBA candidates can register for the event free of charge at www.accessmba.com.
A Masters Event with a Personalised Approach
The MS/MSC/MA is a specialised graduate degree that focuses on practical knowledge and vocational or technical expertise in a specific career field. It is awarded upon completion of one to two years of advanced graduate study after completing a Bachelor's Degree.
The Access Masters event orientates candidates towards Masters programmes that correspond to their profiles and preferences. Candidates are placed in small groups based on their background and area of study, and thematic meetings are organized with a school representative. Personalised discussions with business school representatives has become an effective method for hundreds of students to choose the Masters degree that meets their requirements.
Access Masters consultants review each candidate's educational and professional plans, anddetermine which are the best programmes for them to meet at the event.
Masters candidates can register for the event free of charge at www.accessmasterstour.com.

JLS >
Jls To Split Five Years After X Factor Success
By WENN on 24 April 2013
Follow JLS
Picture: JLS - Iron Man 3 UK premiere held at the Odeon Leicester Square - Departures - London, United Kingdom - Thursday 18th April 2013
British boyband JLS are to split after five years together.
The X Factor stars will hit the road for one final tour in December (13) before calling it quits.
Singer Aston Merrygold tells Britain's The Sun, "It's just that time. We are still best of friends and always will be - but this is the end."
And bandmate Marvin Humes, who is about to become a dad next month (May13), adds, "It's an emotional time. There's no getting away from that. We have been through so much together, but we have to be mature and look at this decision as a celebration of what we managed to achieve. We never wanted to overstay our welcome. We never wanted to be that band where people said, 'Oh, bloody hell. It's Jls again'.
"We wanted to finish on a high. We're finishing with an arena tour - our third arena tour - and that is a massive achievement.
"The last five or so years have been nothing short of incredible. It has been an incredible journey."
Jls' breakthrough came in 2008 when they made the finals of Simon Cowell's talent show, losing out to pop star Alexandra Burke.
They have since sold 10 million albums worldwide and scored five number one singles in their native U.K. The band will release a greatest hits record to coincide with their last tour.

United is slowly phasing out their CRJ-700s as the newer E-175 aircraft is joining the fleet. N797SK is still one of the few active CRJ7s operating for Skywest. Personally, I do really like the Bombardier CRJ-700/900 aircraft. Credit to AirbusA330, Airplanenerd777, SkyCoreSCL (aka Chilean Aviation Films), me, PlanespotterA320 and other contributors.

Q: UL is not centering when inside a div float:right Please review the fiddle here for an example:
http://jsfiddle.net/TKJsc/1/
Basically i'm trying to make it so the UL is centered in it's parent div.
Each li has a width, and if i use inline it will not render with the width.  If i use inline-block then IE doesn't render it properly, but FF does.  How would i accomplish this?

A: Use display: inline instead of float: left on your li elements, like so:
http://jsfiddle.net/TKJsc/

A: Try display: inline-block instead of float: left.
This way you get the margins and padding, and the inline behaviour.
http://jsfiddle.net/juanojeda/asfjK/

A: IE8 doesn't work quite right with inline-block due to a bug with some proprietary concept called hasLayout. If an item !hasLayout, it is considered inline.
To fix it in IE8, all that is necessary is to give it some property which will trigger hasLayout == true. The most simple way to do it is with the again ms-proprietary zoom:1;
For more details, check out this very in depth article: http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html
