Which best explains the evolution of gymnosperm plants
What is the evolution of gymnosperm plants?
Gymnosperms were the first seed plants to have evolved. The earliest seedlike bodies are found in rocks of the Upper Devonian Series (about 382.7 million to 358.9 million years ago). During the course of the evolution of the seed habit, a number of morphological modifications were necessary.
When did gymnosperm plants evolve?
about 319 million years ago
The gymnosperms originated about 319 million years ago, in the late Carboniferous. It is a diverse cluster of plants, containing cycads, ginkgos and the shrub Mormon tea.
What best describes a gymnosperm?
Which statement best describes a gymnosperm? Seedless vascular plants use spores to reproduce. … All flowering plants are gymnosperms.
What did gymnosperms and angiosperms evolve?
Angiosperms evolved during the late Cretaceous Period, about 125-100 million years ago. … Angiosperms did not evolve from gymnosperms, but instead evolved in parallel with the gymnosperms; however, it is unclear as to what type of plant actually gave rise to angiosperms.
Which best explains the evolution of gymnosperm plants quizlet?
Gymnosperms are the first seed plants. … Which best explains the evolution of gymnosperm plants? They evolved after the seedless vascular plants. The fossil of a plant reveals that it produced spores that were used for reproduction.
Which evolved first gymnosperms or angiosperms?
During the mid to late Mesozoic, the first flowering plants or angiosperms appeared. They rapidly dominated the more primitive gymnosperms, and are the dominant plants on Earth today. These waves of competition are typical of the history of life.
When did angiosperms first evolve?
The earliest plants generally accepted to be angiospermous are known from the Early Cretaceous Epoch (about 145 million to 100.5 million years ago), though angiosperm-like pollen discovered in 2013 in Switzerland dates to the Anisian Age of the Middle Triassic (about 247.2 million to 242 million years ago), suggesting …
How did angiosperms evolve?
Angiosperms evolved during the late Cretaceous Period, about 125-100 million years ago. Angiosperms have developed flowers and fruit as ways to attract pollinators and protect their seeds, respectively. … Once the egg is fertilized, it grows into a seed that is protected by a fleshy fruit.
What is a gymnosperm seed?
gymnosperm, any vascular plant that reproduces by means of an exposed seed, or ovule—unlike angiosperms, or flowering plants, whose seeds are enclosed by mature ovaries, or fruits. The seeds of many gymnosperms (literally "naked seeds") are borne in cones and are not visible until maturity.
What is the origin of angiosperms?
Indeed, the term angiosperm derives from the Greek for seeds within a vessel and contrasts with gymnosperm, the name given to the remaining seed plants (conifers, etc.), which refers to naked seeds. … In parallel, the gymnosperms have declined to only around 1000 living species.
Do angiosperms and gymnosperms have a common ancestor?
The common ancestor of both gymnosperms and angiosperms, which lived some 300 million years ago, was some kind of seed fern, a plant that bore seeds and pollen on its leaves. … Some phylogenetic analyses of fossil Mesozoic seed plants reveal this group to be the most closely related to the angiosperms.
Which of the following is a characteristic of gymnosperms that distinguishes them from angiosperms?
Angiosperms, also called flowering plants, have seeds that are enclosed within an ovary (usually a fruit), while gymnosperms have no flowers or fruits, and have unenclosed or "naked" seeds on the surface of scales or leaves. Gymnosperm seeds are often configured as cones.
Where do Gymnosperm seeds develop?
Gymnosperm seeds develop either on the surface of scales or leaves, which are often modified to form cones, or solitary as in yew, Torreya, Ginkgo.
What is the difference between a Gymnosperm and an angiosperm?
The key difference between angiosperms and gymnosperms is how their seeds are developed. The seeds of angiosperms develop in the ovaries of flowers and are surrounded by a protective fruit. … Gymnosperm seeds are usually formed in unisexual cones, known as strobili, and the plants lack fruits and flowers.
What are the various theories of origin of angiosperms?
The Bennettitalean theory was first proposed by Saporta and Marion (1885), followed by Arber and Parkin according to which, Bennettitales have been proposed as possible ancestors of angiosperms, on the basis of the resemblance in structure between the strobili of the Mesozoic genus Cycadeoidea and the flower of …
What is development of seed in gymnosperm?
Ovules are borne by both the angiosperms (true flowering plants) and the gymnosperms (which include the conifers). … Seed development is initiated by fertilization, the union of a haploid male nucleus from the pollen grain with a haploid female nucleus within the ovule to form a new diploid organism.
What is a gymnosperm plant?
Gymnosperms are a relatively small group of plants that do not flower and bear "naked seeds." This means that the seeds are produced on the surface of the reproductive structure, rather than enclosed within it as in a fruit.
Which of the following generations occur in seed of gymnosperms?
The seed that originated in gymnosperms includes 3 generations of tissues: Seed coat and nucellus that arises from the sporophyte tissue, the gametophyte that will give nutrients, and the daughter sporophyte i.e. embryo itself. Hence, the correct answer is option (A).


Students in courses on business ethics, corporate social responsibility, corporate citizenship, and sustainability will find BEH a rich source of essay topics. BEH covers an enormous range of topics and sub-topics, so you're sure to find something that interests you, and writing on something that interests you is one of the keys to successful essay writing. And because the editors of BEH post several fresh stories per week, students can rely on BEH as a source of recent, interesting topics to write on. It's also worth noting that BEH provides not just news stories, but brief commentary: each time we post a news item, we start by offering a few sentences of commentary. This means that you've already got a hint at what one of the key ethical issues might be, even if the news story doesn't have "ethics" in its headline.
Students taking other kinds of courses may also find BEH useful. If you need an essay topic for a course in strategy or accounting or finance or whatever, and if your instructor lets you choose your own topic, you might want to write on an ethics or CSR issue. Just use the search box at the top of the page to look for relevant items. Make sure to check the topic with your instructor before you start writing, though.
If you find a topic you like on BEH and decide to write an essay on it, that's great! Make sure, of course, to cite your sources properly. If you're going to discuss a news item or blog entry that we point to, make sure to cite the original source. If you want to quote one of our brief comments (generally the part above the orange headline in the middle of the page), you should give credit and cite the entry appropriately.
Note: The "n.a." part means "no author", since BEH entries don't have authors, but are the collective product of our editorial team. And you should replace "August 15, 2015" with whatever date you visited us.
But notice! Each BEH item includes two ingredients. It includes an introductory commentary written by The Editors, and that should be cited as shown above. However, each BEH item also includes a link and a paragraph quoted from the linked article. If you click on the link and then quote something you find there you should cite that source, rather than citing BEH. In other words, only cite BEH if you're quoting or using ideas from our introductory paragraph.

Q: How to stop after the script created a number of folders and choose files randomly? @Mofi helped me a lot on this answer of mine
How to organize files in folders?
Now I tried myself to add a feature, it's working, but for the respect of this wonderful job Mofi did, I think, there is a more professional way to do it.
I need the batch to stop after it created a number of folders.
Let's say, I have 100000 .mp4 files in the main directory. The script processes now them all together.
For example, I need to use only 1200 files and group them into 120 folders. I can do that now with FoldersInFolders=120 and FilesInFolder=10. The issue is that after finishing Canal-1 it continues with Canal-2 to Canal-10, etc. until all 100000 MP4 files are moved into directories and I don't want that. I want to stop after 120 folders overall and process only 1200 from 100000 MP4 files which I have in my main folder.
I added the following two lines:
set "MaxTotalFolders=120"
if "!VideosIndex!"=="%MaxTotalFolders%" exit /b 0

@echo off
setlocal EnableExtensions DisableDelayedExpansion
set "FilesInFolder=10"
set "FoldersInFolders=120"
set "MaxTotalFolders=120"

for %%# in ("%USERPROFILE%\Videos" "D:\Videos" "F:\Temp\Videos" "\\MyNAS\Videos") do (
    pushd %%# 2>nul
    if not errorlevel 1 (
        if not exist "*!*.mp4" (
            setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
            set "FileCount=%FilesInFolder%"
            set "CanalIndex=0"
            set "VideosIndex=%FoldersInFolders%
            for /F "eol=| delims=" %%I in ('dir *.mp4 /A-D /B /ON 2^>nul') do (
                if !FileCount! == %FilesInFolder% (
                    set FileCount=0
                    if !VideosIndex! == %FoldersInFolders% (
                        set /A CanalIndex+=1
                        set VideosIndex=1
                    ) else set /A VideosIndex+=1
                    set "TargetFolder=Canal-!CanalIndex!\Videos-!VideosIndex!"
                    md "!TargetFolder!" 2>nul
                    if "!VideosIndex!"=="%MaxTotalFolders%" exit /b 0
                )
                move /Y "%%I" "!TargetFolder!\" >nul
                set /A FileCount+=1
            )
            endlocal
        ) else (
            echo/
            echo ERROR: Moving video files not possible because of file names with ! in name.
            echo/
            echo Please rename first the following files(s^) in: %%#
            echo/
            dir *!*.mp4 /A-D /B
            echo/
            pause
        )
        popd
    ) else (
        echo/
        echo ERROR: Failed to change to directory: %%#
        echo/
        pause
    )
)
endlocal

Another feature that would be very helpful for me is to choose the MP4 files randomly every time I run the batch file.

A: The first batch file is without random selection of the MP4 files.
@echo off
setlocal EnableExtensions DisableDelayedExpansion
set "FilesInFolder=10"
set "FoldersInFolders=50"
set "MaxTotalFolders=120"

for %%# in ("%USERPROFILE%\Videos" "D:\Videos" "F:\Temp\Videos" "\\MyNAS\Videos") do call :MoveVideos %%#
goto EndBatch

:MoveVideos
pushd %1 2>nul
if errorlevel 1 (
    echo/
    echo ERROR: Failed to change to directory: %1
    echo/
    pause
    goto :EOF
)
if exist "*!*.mp4" (
    echo/
    echo ERROR: Moving video files not possible because of file names with ! in name.
    echo/
    echo Please rename first the following files(s^) in: %1
    echo/
    dir *!*.mp4 /A-D /B
    echo/
    popd
    pause
    goto :EOF
)
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "FileCount=%FilesInFolder%"
set "CanalIndex=0"
set "FolderCount=-1"
set "VideosIndex=%FoldersInFolders%
for /F "eol=| delims=" %%I in ('dir *.mp4 /A-D /B /ON 2^>nul') do (
    if !FileCount! == %FilesInFolder% (
        set FileCount=0
        if !VideosIndex! == %FoldersInFolders% (
            set /A CanalIndex+=1
            set VideosIndex=1
        ) else set /A VideosIndex+=1
        set /A FolderCount+=1
        if !FolderCount! == %MaxTotalFolders% goto EndMove
        set "TargetFolder=Canal-!CanalIndex!\Videos-!VideosIndex!"
        md "!TargetFolder!" 2>nul
    )
    move /Y "%%I" "!TargetFolder!\" >nul
    set /A FileCount+=1
)
:EndMove
endlocal
popd
goto :EOF

:EndBatch
endlocal

There is used a subroutine with name MoveVideos to be able to use goto :EOF to stop moving files in the current directory into subdirectories on reaching the maximum number of total folders as defined with MaxTotalFolders and counted with FolderCount inside the second FOR loop.
This batch file creates with the three values defined at top for a directory with the MP4 files Video001.mp4 to Video1203.mp4 a directory structure with following files:

*

*Canal-1

*

*Videos-1

*

*Video0001.mp4

*:

*Video0010.mp4

*:

*Videos-50

*

*Video0491.mp4

*:

*Video0500.mp4

*Canal-2

*

*Videos-1

*

*Video0501.mp4

*:

*Video0510.mp4

*:

*Videos-50

*

*Video0991.mp4

*:

*Video1000.mp4

*Canal-3

*

*Videos-1

*

*Video1001.mp4

*:

*Video1010.mp4

*:

*Videos-20

*

*Video1191.mp4

*:

*Video1200.mp4

*Video1201.mp4

*Video1202.mp4

*Video1203.mp4

This first batch file took 1.58 seconds for the file moving task on my PC.

The second batch file is with random selection of the MP4 files.
@echo off
setlocal EnableExtensions DisableDelayedExpansion
set "FilesInFolder=10"
set "FoldersInFolders=50"
set "MaxTotalFolders=120"

for %%# in ("%USERPROFILE%\Videos" "D:\Videos" "F:\Temp\Videos" "\\MyNAS\Videos") do call :MoveVideos %%#
goto EndBatch

:MoveVideos
pushd %1 2>nul
if errorlevel 1 (
    echo/
    echo ERROR: Failed to change to directory: %1
    echo/
    pause
    goto :EOF
)

    echo ERROR: Moving video files not possible because of file names with ! in name.
    echo/
    echo Please rename first the following files(s^) in: %1
    echo/
    dir *!*.mp4 /A-D /B
    echo/
    popd
    pause
    goto :EOF
)
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "FileCount=%FilesInFolder%"
set "CanalIndex=0"
set "FolderCount=-1"
set "VideosIndex=%FoldersInFolders%
set "TotalFileCount=0"
for /F "eol=| delims=" %%I in ('dir *.mp4 /A-D /B /ON 2^>nul') do set /A TotalFileCount+=1
:NextFile
if %TotalFileCount% == 0 goto EndMove
if %TotalFileCount% LEQ 32768 set /A "FileIndex=%RANDOM% %% TotalFileCount" & goto MoveFile
set /A FileGroups=TotalFileCount / 32768
set /A LastFileCount=TotalFileCount %% 32768
set "LastGroupIndex=%FileGroups%"
if not %LastFileCount% == 0 set /A FileGroups+=1
set /A GroupMultiplier=%RANDOM% %% FileGroups
if not %GroupMultiplier% == %LastGroupIndex% (set /A "FileIndex=GroupMultiplier * 32768 + %RANDOM%") else set /A "FileIndex=(FileGroups - 1) * 32768 + (%RANDOM% %% LastFileCount)"
:MoveFile
if not %FileIndex% == 0 (set "SkipValue=skip=%FileIndex% ") else set "SkipValue="
for /F "%SkipValue%eol=| delims=" %%I in ('dir *.mp4 /A-D /B 2^>nul') do (
    if !FileCount! == %FilesInFolder% (
        set FileCount=0
        if !VideosIndex! == %FoldersInFolders% (
            set /A CanalIndex+=1
            set VideosIndex=1
        ) else set /A VideosIndex+=1
        set /A FolderCount+=1
        if !FolderCount! == %MaxTotalFolders% goto EndMove
        set "TargetFolder=Canal-!CanalIndex!\Videos-!VideosIndex!"
        md "!TargetFolder!" 2>nul
    )
    move /Y "%%I" "!TargetFolder!\" >nul
    set /A FileCount+=1
    set /A TotalFileCount-=1
    goto NextFile
)
:EndMove
endlocal
popd
goto :EOF

:EndBatch
endlocal

This variant is much slower because of the randomization. It took 18.93 seconds to do the job on my PC.
It produces the same directory tree as the first batch file on current directory containing the MP4 files Video001.mp4 to Video1203.mp4, but which file is moved into which directory is really random.

Here is a third variant also with random selection of the next video file to move.
@echo off

It defines for each MP4 video file name an environment variable with a name beginning with # and a number incremented on each file and assigns the current file name to the environment variable. It processes this list of environment variables reduced by one environment variable after each file move.
It causes less file system accesses as the second batch file. But it took 20.54 seconds in my test on my PC to complete the video file movement task.

The main cause of the much longer time with random file selection is the fact that for each file to move one more cmd.exe must be started in background to output the new list of video file names in current directory, capture that file names list, skip all file names up to current random file index number and move the randomly selected file.
It would be much better if the list of environment variables with the video file names in current directory could be updated with removal of the environment variable of a just moved file and check if an environment variable with current randomly determined file index number still exists in the list to move that file and otherwise determine a new random file number index as often as needed. But such an approach can easily result in determining again and again randomly a file index number of video files which were moved already before. The result could be a nearly endless running loop on number of remaining files in environment variables list becomes small. The Windows Command Processor is not designed for such a task.
The randomization is tricky in case of the number of files in a directory is greater than 32768 because of %RANDOM% expands to a random decimal number between 0 and 32767. A cascaded randomized file index number determination is added for that reason to the code of the batch file.
The randomization of the selection of next video file to move causes also a lot of batch file open, seeking to next line to process, processing that line and perhaps read more lines and process them to, remember current position in batch file, batch file close. The first batch file is for that reason much more efficient. A more modern and powerful script interpreter like PowerShell would be much better for that task if randomized movement of video files is an important requirement.
To understand the commands used and how they work, open a command prompt window, execute there the following commands, and read the displayed help pages for each command, entirely and carefully.

There is nothing better than an original photo-shoot for a photographer. It gets our creative juices flowing and it usually means that you'll have a wonderful time creating something very unique with some very cool people. Instead of opting for the "usual" engagement shoot, Véronique and Mathieu decided to change things up bit and gave Aaron Rodericks and myself a theme to play with. Specifically, they wanted a 1960s "Mad Men" themed photo-shoot and both Aaron and I were more than happy to oblige.
To make the shoot as authentic as possible, we needed to work on four elements. First, Véronique and Mathieu's clothing had to be reminiscent of the 1960s. Second, just like the clothing, the location had to have as many "old" elements in it as possible. Third, Mathieu had to play (for the most part) a more dominant role while Véronique had to assume the more "subservient" one. And finally, the post-processing of the pictures had to create that vintage faded look to make them feel "old".
As I mentioned before, Véronique and Mathieu were eager to play along and both came dressed appropriately for the part. From a location perspective, we were able to book the Diefenbunker after-hours (the Diefenbunker is a bomb shelter built to protect the Prime Minister of Canada from a nuclear attack. The content and appearance of the bunker have been preserved). And finally, Aaron did a wonderful job processing the pictures and gave them that vintage look that's a bit hard to describe.
All in all, it was another successful engagement shoot, and we can't wait for the next original idea to be presented to us. Enjoy!


The iconic piece of local history has just been sold for £140,000.
A charmingly tiny one bedroom cottage in the North Somerset village of Stanton Drew has just been sold for £140,000.
Located within the heart of the Chew Valley, the Grade II listed property – lovingly known as the Round House – totals at just 258 sq ft, making it smaller than your average school bus or tube carriage, reveals the listing.
Constructed in 1793, the Round House is small in stature but equally bursting with period charm and character, and has just been sold to a lucky new owner through agents Debbie Fortune via OnTheMarket.com.
The Round House was originally built as a toll house to serve the road leading west towards the coast, and remained a working building for about 70 years from 1800 until around 1870 where it then became a residential dwelling.
It truly is an iconic piece of local history, so much so, that many stories have been told about previous owners. One recalls a family of eight living in the property, with the children having their bunk beds built amongst the roof rafters which are in fact still present in the property today.
Others include tales of how an old hook with money pouch used to hang over the front door of the Round House. It is here that coach drivers would pass their fares into the pouch as they passed freely along the road.
Inside the hilltop house you'll find an open plan kitchen and living area as well as a modern downstairs shower room.
A twisting staircase to the side of the house leads to a large double bedroom, which features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and boasts wonderful countryside views.

Annualized is a financial term meaning that a figure has been changed from one number to another number (using math) in order to show the yearly rate instead of some other rate (daily, monthly, quarterly).
Annual means "yearly" or every year. You can have an annual festival or an annual meeting.
Annualized is a finance word. Annual is more often used in normal vocabulary. You're more likely to use "annual" than "annualized," unless you're in finance.

Toyota wary of expanding in the U.S.
Joel Arellano
Dec 6th 2005 at 8:00PM
Remember when Toyota's chairman, Hiroshi Okuda, announced that the company could raise its prices in the U.S. to help the Big 3? Later it was learned the world's #2 automaker feared a backlash caused by its success competing with U.S. domestic automakers. While most experts (and readers of Autoblog) dismissed the notion, Toyota apparently still takes it seriously.
Despite our report earlier today about a possible manufacturing plant in Michigan, the company is still debating whether it should add a new production line to its San Antonio factory, despite the fact that Toyota's current production capacity is already strained even after doubling employment at its other domestic facilities.
So the San Antonio plant continues to build its Tundra and other vehicles. While erring to the side of caution is admirable, maybe it's time for the company to stop cruising and put the pedal down (preferably in a new IS450.)

Tigers' Bodies Are Plundered To Make £185 Wine !!

Behind rusted bars, a skeletal male tiger lies panting on the filthy concrete floor of his cage, covered in sores and untreated wounds. His once-fearsome body is so emaciated it is little more than a pitiful pile of fur and bones.Death is surely a matter of days away and can only come as a welcome release. Wardens at the wildlife park in southwest China say, indifferently, that they do not expect him to see the start of the Year of the Tiger which began last Sunday.
'What can we do?' a female park official asks a small huddle of visitors with a sigh and a casual shrug. 'He's dying, of course, but we have to keep feeding him until he does. It's against the law to kill tigers.'Instead, it seems, they die slowly of neglect. In row after row of foul, cramped cages, more tigers lie alone, crippled and dying. One is hunched up against the side of its cage with its neck grotesquely deformed. Another, blinded in one eye, lies motionless.
This shabby, rundown park in Guilin – one of China's main tourist cities – is home to the world's biggest single collection of tigers. Yet it is never included on foreigners' tour itineraries.For here, 1,500 captive tigers – around half as many as there are thought to be remaining in the wild – live out miserable lives in squalid conditions.Each tiger costs around £6 a day to feed, and it is easy to see that the small clusters of visitors paying £7.50 each to wander around the cages and watch bizarre animal shows cannot possibly cover even the cost of food for the vast park.
Not Just China US Under Fire For Tiger Trade

Conservationists appealed Wednesday for an end to the commercial tiger trade, warning that demand in China, Southeast Asia — but also the United States — was threatening the big cats with extinction.Environmental campaigners see 2010 as crucial to spread their message as East Asian nations celebrate the Year of the Tiger and Russia prepares to hold a summit on tiger conservation in September in Vladivostok.
Only some 3,200 tigers remain in the wild, nearly half of them in India, down from 100,000 worldwide a century ago due to burgeoning human populations and a demand in China, Vietnam and Laos for tiger parts in folk medicine.But environmental campaigners said the problem was not just in Asia. They worried about the United States, where more than 5,000 tigers are believed to be in private hands as backyard pets or roadside zoo attractions.
Giant Cattle To Be Bred Back From Extinction

Aurochs were immortalised in prehistoric cave paintings and admired for their brute strength and "elephantine" size by Julius Caesar. But despite their having gone the way of the dodo and the woolly mammoth, there are plans to bring the giant animals back to life.The huge cattle with sweeping horns which once roamed the forests of Europe have not been seen for nearly 400 years. Now Italian scientists are hoping to use genetic expertise and selective breeding of modern-day wild cattle to recreate the fearsome beasts which weighed around 2,200lb and stood 6.5 feet at the shoulder.
Breeds of large cattle which most closely resemble Bos primigenius, such as Highland cattle and the white Maremma breed from Italy, are being bred with each other in a technique known as "back-breeding".At the same time, scientists say they have for the first time created a map of the auroch's genome, so that they know precisely what type of animal they are trying to replicate."We were able to analyse auroch DNA from preserved bone material and create a rough map of its genome that should allow us to breed animals nearly identical to aurochs," said team leader Donato Matassino, head of the Consortium for Experimental Biotechnology in Benevento, in the southern Campania region.

The last wild Indochinese tiger in China was killed and eaten by a man who was yesterday sentenced to 12years'jail.Kang Wannian, a villager from Mengla, Yunnan Province, came across the tiger in February while gathering freshwater clams in a nature reserve near China's border with Laos.He claimed to have killed it in self-defence.The only known wild Indochinese tiger in China, photographed in 2007 at the same reserve, has not been seen since Kang's meal, the Yunnan-based newspaper Life News reported earlier this month.
A local court sentenced Kang to 10 years for killing a rare animal plus two years for illegal possession of firearms.Prosecutors said Kang did not need a gun to gather clams.Four villagers who helped Kang dismember the tiger and ate its meat were also sentenced from three to four years for 'covering up and concealing criminal gains', the report said.
1,147 Fish Species Threatened With Extinction: IUCNFF
by ezquara in Uncategorized Tags: Extinction, Fish, species, Threatened
More than 1,000 freshwater fish species are threatened with extinction, reflecting the strain on global water resources, an updated global "Red List" of endangered species showed on Tuesday.The list by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is the most respected inventory of biodiversity covering more than 47,000 of the world's species.
Scientists looked at 3,120 freshwater fish this year, 510 more than a year ago. They found that 1,147, or a third, are now threatened with extinction."Creatures living in freshwater have long been neglected," said Jean-Christophe Vie, deputy head of species programme at the IUCN.
"This year we have again added a large number of them to the IUCN Red List and are confirming the high levels of threat to many freshwater animals and plants."This reflects the state of our previous water resources. There is now an urgency to pursue our effort but more importantly, to start using this information to move towards a wise use of water resources."

Leopard gecko. A bird eating fanged frog, a gecko that looks like it's from another planet and a bird which would rather walk than fly, are among the 163 new species discovered in the Greater Mekong region last year that are now at risk of extinction
A bird-eating fanged frog, a gecko that looks like it's from another planet, and a bird which would rather walk than fly — these are among the 163 new species discovered in the Greater Mekong region last year that are now at risk of extinction, says a new report launched by WWF.
During 2008 alone, scientists identified these rare and unique species within the jungles and rivers of the Greater Mekong, including a bird eating fanged frog that lies in streams waiting for prey, one of only four new species of musk shrew to be described in recent times, and a leopard gecko whose "other world" appearance – orange eyes, spindly limbs and technicolour skin – inspired the report's title Close Encounters.

Holoxica has been involved with projects that start from the smallest things in nature all the way to the scale of the universe. We have made holograms of the CERN particle detector, space telescopes, models of the universe and planetary science.
Holoxica made a digital hologram to celebrate the discovery of the Higgs Boson and the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to Peter Higgs (Edinburgh University) and Francois Englert (University of Brussels). The Higgs boson is a fundamental particle of nature that is responsible for the formation of matter, or the stuff that we're all made of. It was predicted way back in 1964 and but it took four decades to find. It was discovered on 4th July 2012 by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Centre for Nuclear Research into particle physics. This model shows the ATLAS detector with a candidate Higgs event.
Holoxica made a series of holograms of the ELT is the world's largest oprical/infra-red telescope, located on a mountain in Chile, with a 39.3 metre primary mirror. It employs adaptive optics to correct for the distortion of the Earth's atmosphere via eight guide star lasers (four shown). Construction started in 2017 and first light is planned for 2024, the cost is ~one billion euros. We worked with the ATC - UK Astronomy Technology Center & ESO - European Southern Observatory.


A few years back, I found myself living a life that I though should've made me happy.
I was working a job in public relations, and getting raises, promotions and accolades left and right. I was managing accounts and valued greatly by my bosses. I was traveling the country and running fabulous media events, dating the man who would become my husband, and having a blast at happy hours with gorgeous people and great friends.
I was naturally thin, young, coupled up, making money and successful based on all the metrics I'd learned growing up.
We live in a world that teaches us to look outside for success, for happiness, for fulfillment. I learned growing up that physical features and certain standards in a career and relationship were the necessary and expected parts of a happy life.
But what I realized a few years ago was that those rules don't have to apply to me. And in fact, they didn't apply to me, which is why I felt crappy even when it looked like I was living the dream.
And I know so many women who can relate.
We're all fed these stories from the time we're young that tell us what we should look like, how we should spend our time, what success looks like and what we should value. And when those standards don't match up with how we actually feel, we start to think there's something wrong with us.
We wonder why everyone else can get their finances and diets and exercise routines together. Why everyone else's Instagram posts about their partner look better than ours. Why our coworkers seem so content but we feel like there must be something more.
I became a coach because I believe that there is something more.
When I decided that the rules I'd allowed other people and influences to place on my life weren't for me, I got to start a whole new chapter. I found a whole new level of freedom. I've created a life that feels fulfilling, nourishing and driven by ease rather than stress. Flow rather than striving. Calm rather than anxiety.
And all the while it became a thousand times easier to take care of myself, to find time for the things I love, to let myself rest and to build a career around the life I want rather than the other way around.
That's what I do as a coach. I help you build the life you desire, on your terms. That means diving deep into the blocks you've been holding onto - what beliefs are you carrying around that have led you to the life you've got? Whose beliefs are those?
We work together to help you let them go, and replace them with the ideas and values that are true to you.
We get you feeling physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually stronger than you've ever felt. By using a combination of practical tools, knowledge, information and spiritual + emotional practices, we set you free from a life of living like you think you should, and allow you to step into your power.
And because your life is made up of a lot of different components, we tap into each of them. I work with my clients on components of their careers, their nutrition and diet, their physical activity and the spiritual and emotional mindset work. My biggest commitment to myself and to those I work with is that we always aim to act and live from a place of intuition. I believe that you know what you need - I'm here to help you reconnect to your gut, learn to trust it and fill in any of the gaps.
When two magical beings come together with the common goal of creating a better tomorrow, I believe that incredible shi(f)t happens. I'm one of those beings - and I believe that you're the other.

Zaw Zaw's zeal motivating Myanmar football
Mon, 30 Nov, -0001
Kuala Lumpur: The AFC U-19 Championship, Myanmar is fast approaching as we move closer to October 9, the first day of the championship.
Last year's Dream Asia Award winner, Myanmar, knows all too well regarding the importance of providing youth with the exposure to international competition. Led by charismatic businessman U Zaw Zaw, the Myanmar Football Federation (MFF) won the award in recognition of the ASEAN nation's positive initiatives in the area of social responsibility.
Zaw Zaw, who is celebrating his birthday today, August 22, was recently chosen as his country's banker of the year. According to the Myanmar Times' editor-in-chief Ross Dunkley, it is his energy and drive that marks him out as his country's best, providing a real inspiration to the people of Myanmar.
But it is not only his ability to crunch numbers that has got people talking; his leadership in the arena of football has also made people stand up and take notice.
Zaw Zaw is an Executive Committee member of the Asian Football Confederation, but it is his work with the MFF that has really set his name alight. Upon receiving the 2013 AFC Dream Asia Award he said, "This award is a reflection of how we've been working hard to promote social change in society".
For Myanmar football, development was a stop-start affair. The national team held some highly impressive records in international tournaments back in the late 60's, winning the Asian Games gold medal twice in 1966 and 1970 as well coming in as runners-up for the AFC Asian Cup in 1968. The record, however, did not prolong.
Since the appointment of Zaw Zaw in 2005, he has overseen great improvements in the MFF and Myanmar football, and the successes of the past few years has led the MFF to pick up the Asean Football Federation's Association of the Year award at the AFF Awards 2013.
In an interview with a Myanmar news outlet, Mizzima, Zaw Zaw declared: "I work only because I love my country". True to his words, the banker has personally contributed a lot of his own wealth to build up Myanmar football including in the administration of the Myanmar National League, Myanmar's top football tier, which only achieved professional status in 2009. The league now boasts twelve teams.
With Myanmar hosting the AFC U-19 Championship in October, their commitment towards grassroots and youth football befits the occasion. Zaw Zaw once said in an interview: "I'm aiming for success not only for Myanmar but also for the region, in ASEAN and Asia. Youth development is important as they are after all our future."
Recently, a total of 1200 children took part in the MFF AYA Bank Football Festival 2014, which was sponsored by Ayeyarwady Bank and hosted by the MFF. The festival was aimed at popularising football and healthy lifestyles under the MFF's Grassroots Football Plans and FIFA 11 For Health Programme. In total, six Grassroots Football Festival Plans will be held this year.
Asian football's finest young players will be determined to showcase their talents at the U-19 AFC Championship, and in Myanmar they will have their best opportunity to shine.
Grassroots event a resounding success in Myanmar
AFC Dream Asia Award: Myanmar
Good preparation is the foundation of success: Zeise

Revolo Biotherapeutics Completes Enrollment in Phase 2 Trial of '1104 in Allergic Disease
January 5, 2023 Staff
Topline data anticipated in Q2 2023
NEW ORLEANS and LOS ANGELES and LONDON, Jan. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Revolo Biotherapeutics ("Revolo" or the "Company"), a company developing therapies that reset the immune system to achieve superior long-term remission for patients with autoimmune and allergic diseases, today announced that it has completed enrollment and has fully randomized all patients in a Phase 2a clinical study investigating its immune-resetting molecule, '1104, for the treatment of patients with allergic disease.
"The ability of '1104 to reduce and reset the inflammatory immune response to common allergens has the potential to provide a long-awaited improvement to disease management with less frequent dosing without immunosuppression," said Jonathan Rigby, Group Chief Executive Officer of Revolo Biotherapeutics. "Having finalized enrollment and randomization of the trial, we believe we are on track to have topline data in Q2 2023. We are very pleased with the clinical progress made with our two '1104 trials in 2022, this one and our recently completed trial in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and continue to build confidence in the potential of this platform for the treatment of a broad range of allergic diseases."
Professor Stephen Till, Professor of Allergy at King's College London, and lead investigator of the study, added, "Current prescription medications used for the treatment of various allergic conditions aim to help reduce the inflammation-related effects, but patients still often suffer from debilitating symptoms which can have a major impact on quality of life. A medication that provides patients with longer-term symptom relief with less dosing and no immune suppression would be a true improvement. I look forward to evaluating how '1104 can help achieve this, given its upstream mechanism of action at preventing allergen-driven inflammation as shown in pre-clinical models."
The Phase 2a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study (NCT05098522) is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of '1104 in 60 participants with moderate to severe allergy. All participants receive six doses of either the investigational drug, '1104, or the matched placebo over six visits within a 12-week period.
About '1104
'1104 is a first-in-class peptide derived from a natural immune-regulatory protein, mTB Chaperonin 60.1 that is involved in resetting the immune system. Revolo Bio is advancing '1104 through two Phase 2 trials: one in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and one in patients with allergen sensitivity, while exploring its potential for other allergic diseases.
Revolo Biotherapeutics
Revolo Biotherapeutics is developing therapies that reset the immune system to achieve superior long-term remission for patients with autoimmune and allergic disease, without the immune system suppression seen with current therapies. Its two drug candidates, '1805 and '1104, a protein and a peptide respectively, reset the immune system to prevent the chronic pro-inflammatory immune response that results in autoimmune or allergic disease. '1805 is a modified analogue of a key protein in immune function nearing initiation of a second Phase 2b clinical trial for moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis and a Phase 2a clinical trial for an additional autoimmune indication. '1104 is a peptide derived from a natural immune-regulatory protein and has recently completed a Phase 2a clinical trial for patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) with topline data expected in early 2023. '1104 is also being evaluated in an ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial for allergic disease with data expected Q2 2023. The disease-agnostic mechanism of action of Revolo Biotherapeutic's assets provides a potential platform for the development of treatments for multiple autoimmune and allergic diseases.

The first stage consists of researching the optimal material likely to meet our client's specifications.
In the second stage, the tooling study is conducted in close collaboration with the toolmakers, specialised in the development of dies and calibrators.
At the end of this stage we can send our offer.
When we receive the order, a third stage consists of extruding prototypes with the final toolings.
After validating the prototypes, the tube, the profile, or any other product studied is allocated a product code and followed in production by batch number, dimensional report and process monitoring datasheets.
Quality certificates will be provided if necessary.
The development time of a product is generally between 4 and 8 weeks, depending on the complexity of products to be manufactured.


Attica - Comfort vocab: what's your trade mark phrase?
I proofread a colleague's lengthy document this week (let's call her Claire), and soon noticed she repeated the same word throughout. That word was nevertheless, and it started every other paragraph.
This made me think about the regularity with which people use certain words or phrases, both in speech and in writing. We're all guilty of it. I noticed recently that I was saying historically far too much. But now I've caught myself at it, I'll rein it in.
These words form part of our personality. We automatically weave them into our language without thinking; their use becomes a habit and makes us feel safe. It's also because we can't be bothered to think of other words, particularly when we're short of time.
So what are the repercussions of such repetitive language?
It becomes like a tic – a flicking pen or tapping foot. Once your reader starts noticing it, they can't block it out. And if they're thinking about how often you've used the word nevertheless, they're probably glossing over your key points.
A lot of the time, it's not actually the right word.
Words like nevertheless, although, however and furthermore are used incorrectly all the time. Don't use your comfort vocab over more suitable wording. And if you do get stuck, just pick up a dictionary or thesaurus.
Most importantly, it signals a lack of thinking.
Instead of pausing to think and plan, Claire launched straight in. The outcome was loosely written and very wordy text, and a lot of repetition. When writing, you have time to choose your words; don't let your fingers work faster than your brain.
Repeating yourself is often a sign you're writing on autopilot. Take your document to a quiet spot, switch your brain on, read it aloud and be very self-critical.

A hearty warm you up casserole!
The recipe I am sharing with you today is one that was shared with me years ago by the late Mary Arneson, she loved to entertain and was such a good cook! I made this last week and took it to a church pot luck, many requested the recipe, so I told them to read the next Photo Press!!
Plan ahead this dish needs to be refrigerated overnight before baking!
Wash rice, drain. let stand in boiling 2 cups water for 15 minutes, drain. Brown hamburger and onion in 2 Tblsp butter, till meat no longer pink. Combine rice, meat, mushrooms, dissolved bouillon cubes, add remaining ingredients. Place in greased casserole and refrigerate overnight. Bake uncovered for 2 hours at 325 degrees. If most of the liquid had been absorbed in the refrigerate overnight, add another 1 1/2 cup of beef or chicken broth before baking. The original recipe didn't call for that but that's what I did and the consistency was just right, wild rice absorbs a lot of liquid. Stay Warm!

Welcome to Travelle
Situated on the second floor of the luxurious Langham hotel in an iconic skyscraper designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe that once housed IBM regional headquarters, Travelle is located along the Chicago River in the heart of downtown Chicago. A play on the word travel, Travelle is a casually elegant restaurant, lounge and bar featuring Chef Jeff Vucko's Seasonal American cuisine. Dishes feature ingredients sourced from around the country, utilizing Chef Vucko's connection with some of the finest farms, ranches and orchards in the nation.
Alongside a carefully curated 1600-bottle wine list, Travelle boasts a beverage program that highlights skillfully-crafted classic cocktails. Influenced by the romance of the digital age, architect/designer David Rockwell of the Rockwell Group creates a modern environment that conveys history, sophistication and nostalgia into the 124-seat restaurant and 81-seat bar and lounge that overlook the Chicago skyline and river.
Chef de Cuisine Jeff Vucko
"The farm-to-table ideology has always been a driving force for me as a chef. Getting to know our local farmers continues to inspire me and our team. I look forward to introducing a creative menu utilizing fresh, locally-sourced ingredients and simplicity."
Chef Jeff Vucko has been a part of the Travelle team since The Langham, Chicago's opening in June 2013. He has been deeply involved with Chicago's Green City Market and in collaborating with the organization to offer a Wednesday summer dinner series for the past three years, building relationships with farmers and local producers while creating menus featuring market-fresh ingredients.
Upon graduating from Culinary Arts at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Chicago, Vucko started as a line cook at theWit Hotel's Cibo Matto under Chef Ken Carter, then moved on to The Pump Room in the former Public Hotel. A few years later, Vucko joined the opening team of The Langham, Chicago, working first under Chef Tim Graham and then Chef Ricardo Jarquin.
Pastry Chef Danielle Marelli
"I put a lot of thought and emotion in my work. When I was young, I would spend hours in the kitchen making sweets for my grandfather, who was a lover of all sweets. It is what inspires me to be creative and make really delicious pastries."
Pastry Chef Marelli has been a part of the Travelle team since 2014, when she joined as a pastry chef de partie. Upon being promoted to pastry sous chef, she assisted former Executive Pastry Chef Scott Green and developed signature recipes for the continuous rotation of seasonal menus. Her passion for organization ensures efficient operations of pastry preparation, production, and presentation.
Starting her professional career at The French Pastry School and serving as a Chef Intern, Marelli honed her skills in prep, organization and cleanliness for class kitchens. Marelli received a Certificate in Pastry Arts in June 2012.
Following her achievements from The French Pastry School, Marelli spent two years as a pastry chef at St Regis Monarch Beach, Dana Point. Her love and knowledge of pastry grew as she ran the line, producing all components for plated desserts including ice cream and sorbets, as well as creating wedding cakes and custom cakes for on-site weddings and functions.

Beverage Director Thibaut Idenn
"For me, wine is the expression of the vineyard and where it comes from. "The wine-making techniques are here to help express this notion."
Travelle at The Langham Beverage Director Thibaut Idenn has come a long way since his upbringing in the countryside of France – and he has created the beverage program to prove it. Idenn's comfortable yet attentive and upscale style of hospitality comes from a background influenced by a variety of cultures. His career goals and aspirations were formed at the age of 14, when he worked at a local restaurant as a prep-cook in the countryside of France. What some would consider tedious, dirty work, Idenn loved.
"I attended a hospitality-focused school and my love for that world was cemented by my work in restaurants early on," says Idenn. With a well-rounded education focused on the hospitality industry, Idenn entered a coffee-themed competition: The Best Young Coffee Professional by Malongo. Through competition, his curiosity in the workings of front of house service was sparked. He continued to participate in more than ten service-focused competitions. "I developed a taste for competition," says Idenn. "I've been able to represent my country and our service ingenuity at international competitions in Sri Lanka, Germany, and Brazil – all while pursuing my professional career in service."
At the beginning of his professional career, Idenn worked two summer seasons in Saint-Tropez, France at the three Michelin star restaurant La Vague D'Or under the mentorship of Restaurant Director Thierry Di Tullio. The establishment earned its third Michelin star during this time. During the winter seasons, Idenn worked in the luxurious Palace Les Airelles – located in the heart of the French Alps, in the stunning ski resort of Courchevel. Idenn also worked at the three Michelin Star restaurant Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée in Paris.
Idenn next achieved a B.A. in Wine and Beverage Management at the Institute Paul Bocuse and a MSc in International Hospitality Management. While achieving his master's degree, Idenn worked for the AccorHotels Group in Shanghai, China. After six months, he was offered a position at the Sofitel Chicago, Magnificent Mile in Chicago as Food and Beverage Manager. Soon after, he found his place at Travelle at The Langham. Managing the beverage program at Travelle, Idenn has two main focuses: the first being the cocktail program. The bar offers a sophisticated selection of classic cocktails, as well as a collection of modern-era classic cocktails, featuring the elevated experience of the art-inspired cocktail menu. Idenn's second focus is on wine, highlighting the winemakers' use of the terroir rather than technique. "For me, wine is the expression of the vineyard and where it comes from," says Idenn. "The wine-making techniques are here to help express this notion."
Idenn was recently named "Best Sommelier" by the Chicago Reader in their "Best of 2019" issue.
Mixologist Slava Borisov
"Our cocktail gallery is interesting and versatile enough to accommodate the uniqueness of all of our guests. Each cocktail has its own legend and inspiration."
Mixologist Slava Borisov helms the casually elegant bar at Travelle at The Langham, Chicago—lending his refreshing, timeless take on spirits with over 20 years of experience in the beverage industry. Driven by the belief that all guests should receive an expert level of craftmanship and service, Borisov ensures that Travelle's overall vision of being a distinctive restaurant and bar comes to fruition. "Travelle brings its ideas to the local dining scene," he says. "Serving traditional dishes and drinks in an unexpected way makes it an interactive experience for our guests."
With libation lists inspired by world-class masterpieces, Borisov approaches each craft cocktail as a work of art. "Our cocktail gallery is interesting and versatile enough to accommodate the uniqueness of all of our guests. Each cocktail has its own legend and inspiration," he explains. For guests who prefer the classics, he creates elevated versions of famous recipes provided by Travelle's expansive cocktail library.
Hailing from Omsk, Siberia, Borisov grew up with a diligent outlook shaped by his time in the Russian military. A fortuitous advertisement for Bartender Association of Russia in Moscow later prompted him to enroll and consider pursuing a career in mixology. Between classes, Borisov worked as a bartender at an upscale restaurant and stumbled upon the Tom Cruise movie, "Cocktail." He realized his path mirrored Cruise's path to a certain extent—this epiphany, along with his hands-on experience in the food and beverage industry, fueled his passion to become a bartender. After earning a professional bartending diploma, among many other certifications in spirits, Borisov also received his M.A. in human resources management from Omsk State Technical University in 2010.
In 2011, Borisov's dream became a reality when he moved to New York to work in Brooklyn's renowned beverage scene. A few years later, he eventually moved to Chicago—a city that introduced him to the world of luxury hospitality—where he learned how to express his talent and passion for bartending. Borisov joined The Langham as part of the opening team in 2013, which opened his mind to working in the luxury hotel service industry. After three years at The Langham, he moved overseas for almost two years, but returned to his Langham family to share his international experiences and transform Travelle's bar into "the most shining spot in the city – and in the country as well."
Earlier in Borisov's budding career, he won several bartending competitions in Siberia, a trajectory that allowed him to treat his so-called "hobby" more seriously and improve himself as a leading professional in the industry. One of Borisov's defining career moments occurred in 2019 when he competed as a finalist in the Diageo Reserve WORLD CLASS Bartender of the Year. After moving through five rounds, Borisov successfully reached the National Finale in which the top 15 regional winners competed against each other to be crowned the "Best Bartender in the World."

Every degree is different, so this is just what my experience has been throughout my second year of studying law.
Students are examined through essays and exams but the weight of each towards your final mark varies on the course. Over the course of second year, I've sat 9 exams and written 8 essays, so it's fair to say that when my exam finished on Friday, I was ecstatic.
I'm not going to lie, this year has been the most difficult and stressful year of my life so far, and I know it's going to get even more challenging. It is very difficult to keep on top of everything but you've just got to keep telling yourself that you will get it done, you have to!
I find that the most difficult thing with the essays is that they're all due around the same time. In my second semester this year, I had to hand in 5 essays over the course of 2 weeks. The best piece of advice I can give is to start them as early as you can. One of my essays was a 2000 word count and in between handing essays in, I was going to Edinburgh for a weekend. I started this essay a month before it was due, so when it came to writing it, pretty much all of my research was complete.
Even though I'm saying start them early, I wrote my last essay in 4 days, and I got a decent mark for it. It was almost impossible to start this one early because of having to write another 4 beforehand.
Now onto exams…my uni do all the exams over the course of 2-3 weeks. Last semester, I had 3 exams one day after the other – this was horrible! There was hardly any time to properly revise and focus because when you're finished an exam you want to give your brain a little break but you couldn't, you had to go straight back. This semester I had 5 exams. My exam period wasn't as stressful this time, plus I enjoyed my courses more so it made it slightly easier to revise them. The best way to revise, for me, is repetition. As I am studying law, the courses are all heavily case-based so I need to remember as much cases as I can, I therefore just repeat and repeat them.
So all in all, every year is incredibly stressful! I've coped with it as much as I can but I've broken down numerous times. I enjoy what I'm studying but the stress is very much there. I like to write everything I need to do down and allocate times and days for when they're going to get done – this really helps me keep on top of things!
Let me know in the comments how you're getting on with your workload!
It was lovely reading your opinions on the workload! Sorry about this years stress but good job with powering through it and good luck for next year!

Snyder signs law creating Medicaid work requirement
Gov. Rick Snyder signed a Medicaid work requirement law that affects able-bodied adults, ages 18 to 62.
Snyder signs law creating Medicaid work requirement Gov. Rick Snyder signed a Medicaid work requirement law that affects able-bodied adults, ages 18 to 62. Check out this story on Freep.com: https://on.freep.com/2Ii6oNo

LANSING — Work or education will be required for many Michigan residents receiving Medicaid health coverage.
Gov. Rick Snyder signed a law Friday that affects able-bodied adults, ages 18 to 62. They'll have to show workforce engagement averaging 80 hours a month, such as a job, school, vocational training, an internship, substance abuse treatment or community service.
About 690,000 Michigan residents are covered by a 2014 expansion of Medicaid. The number of people who might lose coverage from the new requirement is unclear due to exemptions for the disabled, full-time students, a parent with a child under 6 and pregnant women. The federal government still must sign off on the Michigan changes.
Democrats widely panned the work requirement as cruel for depriving poor people of health care.

Lebbeus Woods in Collaboration with Christoph A. Kumpusch

"How many works does an architect need to build to be valid? One," said Steven Holl recently, referring to the late Lebbeus Woods's only permanent structure, Light Pavilion, which is embedded in (and juts out from) one of five towers that make up Holl's Sliced Porosity Block in Chengdu, China. The 3 million-square-foot mixed-use complex and public plaza opened in September. Woods's four-story pavilion is lined with mirror-finish stainless-steel panels and pierced by steel columns and beams covered in polycarbonate and illuminated with integral LEDs. Visitors experience the space from stairs and walkways within the sculpture. Holl spoke about the project at Cooper Union in late November at an event hosted by the Architectural League of New York. Woods, Holl's longtime friend, was scheduled to appear at the podium with him, but he died on October 30 at age 72.
The influential architect carved a singular path of resistance through the profession: He lectured, taught, wrote, drew, and created temporary installations, constantly questioning architecture's purpose. Holl told the crowd at Cooper Union that he prefers "Time Light" as a title for Woods's pavilion because it alludes to another dimension of architectural experience–one that is mysterious and ephemeral, yet is effectively conjured by his friend with this work. "He now travels on a beam of light of his own invention," said Holl.

Few things in the spiritual realm are more confounding than prayer. After all, if God already knows everything—and if he already has a plan in place for everyone—what can we hope to accomplish by talking to him?
If you are having trouble, you should pray. And if you are feeling good, you should sing praises. If you are sick, ask the church leaders to come and pray for you. Ask them to put olive oil on you in the name of the Lord. If you have faith when you pray for sick people, they will get well. The Lord will heal them, and if they have sinned, he will forgive them.
If we acknowledge that prayer is important, our next step is to figure out how to pray; that is, what to say to God.
One of the most popular prayer models is called ACTS, an acronym for four key elements of prayer: adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication.
The best way to start any prayer is by telling God how awesome he is. The more specific you are in your praise and the more time you spend in adoration, the better your experience will be.
The things we do wrong get in the way of our relationship with God. To make things right, we need to confess them and ask for his forgiveness.
It's one thing to be thankful for the countless things God does for us; it's quite another to tell him, in detail, just how thankful we are.
After we've told God that we recognize how incredible he is, asked his forgiveness, and thanked him, we can talk to him about our requests.

More retirement plan advisers coverage »
New RIA aggregator enters 401(k) market
Hub International jumped in two months ago, and already has acquired a shop with $2.5 billion in plan assets
Nov 30, 2017 @ 4:11 pm
By Greg Iacurci
Hub International is a neophyte among so-called RIA aggregators focused on the retirement plan market, but it's making a grand entrance that signals competitive heft and further hints at a growing consolidation trend among plan advisers.
Aggregators are firms actively gathering a significant amount of plan assets through outright acquisition of advisory firms or via those firms' affiliation with the aggregator's RIA and/or broker-dealer.
Hub, an insurance brokerage, is an acquirer and traditionally has bought groups specialized in employee benefits and property and casualty insurance. The firm hadn't entered the retirement market in a big way until September, when it hired David Reich as its national president of retirement services.
Before taking the job at Hub, Mr. Reich had helmed the Retirement Partners group at LPL Financial, the nation's largest independent broker-dealer.
Hub announced Monday it acquired Summit Financial Corp., a Burlington, Mass.-based advisory firm with eight producing advisers overseeing $2.5 billion in defined contribution plan assets, as well as an additional $200 million for wealth-management clients.
The acquisition was the firm's largest of a retirement-focused shop to date. Hub also has several pending deals involving firms "of decent size," Mr. Reich said, though he declined to elaborate.
"This place has never really gone after the business, and now we are," Mr. Reich said. "There's a significant opportunity to grow in this space."
Interest among 401(k) advisers to join RIA aggregators has grown, which industry observers attribute to an increasingly challenging operating environment for independent advisers. Most shops offer in-house services and staff to support advisers through lead generation, investment research and analytics, marketing, compliance, training, and relationship management, for example. Through scale, they also may help advisers drive down costs for clients.
Hub has a lot of competition for business, though. A recent InvestmentNews analysis identified roughly 15 aggregators — massive firms such as Captrust, NFP and SageView Advisory Group — that are active in recruiting retirement plan advisory groups into their ranks.
Lockton Investment Advisors and Gallagher Benefit Services Inc. are similar to Hub, in that they are part of large insurance brokerages.
Fred Barstein, founder and CEO of The Retirement Advisor University, believes Hub has the DNA to be successful, since it's already a prolific acquirer of insurance and employee-benefits groups, and has hired Mr. Reich, who knows the DC market well.
"I think they have all the ingredients, but it's all about execution," Mr. Barstein said. "And the market's getting competitive. You [already] have established aggregators."
Hub's business model is unique in a way, when compared with its competitors. Although Hub has a broker-dealer and is in the process of setting up its own RIA, the firm allows advisers to stay with their current RIA and/or broker-dealer if they wish.
"If you look at the other firms doing acquisition, you have to join their B-D or RIA," Mr. Barstein said. "Here, you'll have to deal with multiple B-Ds."
