After months of speculation, looks like the final judging seat on 'American Idol' has been filled -- by Harry Connick Jr.
A show insider told the Hollywood Reporter that Connick will join returning judges Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez on the panel for the upcoming 13th season. And since he's served as a guest mentor several times previously and always seems to offer the contestants cogent and relevant guidance, he'll likely be a popular choice.
Assuming he actually has been hired, it'll bring to a close seemingly endless media hype over who exactly would round out the panel. Just last week, songwriter and producer Dr. Luke was supposedly a lock, but had to drop out because of label conflicts (he's part of Sony Music and rival Universal Music Group has the rights to 'Idol' recordings). Then the guy we can blame for unleashing Justin Bieber on the world, manager Scooter Braun, was up for consideration, but he declined the gig.

Background: In Latin America and the Caribbean, anemia has been a public health problem that affects mainly women of childbearing age and children under 6 years of age. However, the current prevalence of anemia in this region is unknown. Objective: To examine the latest available prevalence data on anemia in Latin America and the Caribbean. Methods: A systematic review was conducted in 2011 and updated in 2014. Studies determining the prevalence of anemia conducted in apparently healthy populations with national or regional representativeness were included in the review. Results: The lowest prevalence rates of anemia among children under 6 years of age were found in Chile (4.0%), Costa Rica (4.0%), Argentina (7.6%), and Mexico (19.9%). In Nicaragua, Brazil, Ecuador, El Panama, and Honduras, anemia was a moderate public health problem, with prevalence ranging Salvador, Cuba, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Peru, from 20.1% to 37.3%. Anemia was a severe public health problem in Guatemala, Haiti, and Bolivia. The prevalence of anemia among women of childbearing age was lowest in Chile (5.1%). In Colombia, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Honduras, and Argentina, anemia was a mild public health problem, with prevalence ranging from 7.6% to 18.7%. In Guatemala, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, and Bolivia, anemia was a moderate public health problem, with prevalence ranging from 21.4% to 38.3%. Panama and Haiti had the highest reported prevalence rates (40.0% and 45.5%, respectively), and anemia was considered a severe public health problem in those countries. Conclusions: Anemia remains a public health problem in children under 6 years of age and women of childbearing age in most Latin America and Caribbean countries for which data are available.


Abstract: We investigate the nonlinear dynamics of microcantilevers. We demonstrate mechanical stiffening of the frequency response at large amplitudes, originating from the geometric nonlinearity. At strong driving the cantilever amplitude is bistable. We map the bistable regime as a function of drive frequency and amplitude, and suggest several applications for the bistable microcantilever, of which a mechanical memory is demonstrated.

well the big day (sunday) finally arrived after months of waiting finally saw temple of the dog. it was an outstanding show musically. they started with "say hello to heaven" & kept going. & going. & going. the whole record was played along with several mother love bone songs & some other choice covers. they came on about 9:30 after about an hour after the opening band (fantastico negrito or something like that, they were ok. 2 or 3 good songs with sort of obnoxious lead singer). i don't know if its just me but i find an hour between bands to be excessive. having done a bit of roadie work i know that everything technically is set up in the afternoon for the headliner. there was absolutely no need to build up anticipation as it had been over the top for months. temple played 2.5 hours ending at midnight. with the long break, it seemed too long. by the time they got to the last song of the 1st encore (war pigs), we were ready to go home. it was a work night & i ended up dealing with 3 hours of sleep yesterday with an intense day in the mines. luckily, will have a 4 day weekend to recover after tomorrow. my friend observed that she would've rather heard more music by the musicians onstage than covers by led zep & sabbath. she had a point. some of the covers were excellent (hendrix "hey baby", "fascination street") others seemed excessive. other highlights were mad season's "river of deceit" & "times of trouble". chris cornell was extremely chatty which was a little unusual. back in the hey day he was definitely a diva. eddie vedder was a no show, which was surprising because he was in town, having been seen earlier in the day @ the Seahawk game with actor Bradley Cooper. i think if he would've shown up for a few songs it would've lifted the show to the realm of special. as it was, i would give the show a B grade. very good but could've been better. i think i would like to see this lineup create some new music in the future as the chemistry seemed very good.

Had an excellent start to concert season Friday night in Seattle with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Trombone Shorty & Jack Irons. Jack Irons played a short set of just drums with tapes & vids. It was actually better than it looks like on paper. For his last song, Eddie Vedder came out to sing "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" with him. It was amazing & probably only half the crowd had arrived.
Next up, Trombone Shorty for a highly energetic 45 minute set. These guys rock! Modern rocking take on the New Orleans sound. Really outstanding musicians all around in the band. They did a mix of covers like Bulls on Parade (Rage) & Brain Stew (Green Day) & original material. I would go see them again in a heartbeat. Really good choice to open for RHCP.
For the main event, the Peppers put on a highly charged set. I was sitting at the side of the stage close to Flea. @ 54, he still put enough energy into his playing that its the equivalent of running a marathon. He was noticeably winded by the end. Such an amazing musician & Chad Smith (Rickey Bobby's brother, haha) is a stellar drummer.
I hadn't seen the Peppers in over 10 years & had a few qualms about John Frusciante not being there. He's 1 of my all time favorite guitarists. His replacement, Josh Klinghoffer, was fine though. He is finally coming into his own. While not at a virtuoso level like Frusciante, he is quite good. His back up vocal were spot on also. Lower in the mix though than when John was doing them. Anthony Kiedis actually sang pretty well. I've always viewed him as the week point of the band but he was good on Friday. They were augmented by a few additional players who switched off on instruments at times but not every song.
The presentation was pretty spectacular. A big video screen projected psychedlic images & was well done. The lighting was out of this world & innovative. There's a pretty good pic I took below. LED lights on wires stretched over the stage & whole floor of the arena. They changed shapes & colours to the music & were mesmerizing. I have never seen anything quite like it & am pretty sure other bands will start incorporating the technology. Very impressive. The Peppers played an intense hour & 45 minutes, so maybe a little short. I'm of the school that headliners charging $100 a ticket for most seats should play at least 2 hours. Minor quibble though since the show was so good & never really let up. If you get the chance, go. If you like the band you won't be disappointed. Next up for me is U2, then a few days later the Flaming Lips in May. Setlist for Chili Peppers:

Snow ((Hey Oh))
Dark Necessities

(tour debut; first time since 2012)

Our local arts festival always gets a couple of names to play each year and this year was Kate Nash and Nothing But Thieves.
Love Kate Nash, she's got that sincerity vibe and great pop hooks.

Q: Call body of all traits inherited Say I have the below:
type Receive = PartialFunction[Any, Unit]
trait Functionality {
    /**
     * A set containing all Receive functions
     */
    var allReceives: Set[Receive] = Set[Receive]()
}

Now other trait's can extend Functionality and do awesome stuff. Example:
trait LoadBalancer extends Functionality{
  def body:Receive = {
     case ...
  }
  allReceives += body
}

And ultimately my class:
class Main with LoadBalancer with SecurityFunctionality
                      with OtherFunctionality with Functionality{

    def receive =  {
      case x if allReceives.foldLeft(false) { (z, f) => if (f isDefinedAt x) { f(x); true } else z } == true => ()
    }

    def body: Receive = {
    }
    allReceives += body
}

Question: What I wish to do is, in Main I need to call body function of all the traits that I have inherited. This way my code can be loosely coupled and I can add/remove functionality at a go.
The above works, but I do not like it as the compiler cannot guarantee that any trait that extends Functionality should add its body to allReceives.
I cannot declare def body:Receive in Functionality as then my implementation in Main will override body implementations of other traits. I am sure there should be a smarter way!

A: This does not really answer your question, but here is a solution using the stackable traits pattern. Alas you still need to call super.receive as the last case in each trait, but I could not find a way around that yet.
object Main {
  type Receive = PartialFunction[Any, Unit]

  trait Receiver {
    def receive: Receive
  }

  trait LoadBalancer extends Receiver {
    abstract override def receive: Receive = {
      case "one" => println("LoadBalancer received one")
      case msg => super.receive(msg)
    }
  }

  trait OtherFunctionality extends Receiver {
    abstract override def receive: Receive = {
        case "two" => println("OtherFunctionality received two")
        case msg => super.receive(msg)
    }
  }

  class Main extends Receiver {
    override def receive: Receive = {
      case "three" => println("Main received three")
    }
  }

  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    val main = new Main with OtherFunctionality with LoadBalancer

    main.receive("one")
    main.receive("two")
    main.receive("three")
  }
}

A: On second thought, composition really might be a better option here. This is a simpler solution, without any funny "abstract override"s:
object Main {
  type Receive = PartialFunction[Any, Unit]

  trait Receiver {
    def receive: Receive
  }

  class LoadBalancer extends Receiver {
    override def receive: Receive = {
      case "one" => println("LoadBalancer received one")
    }
  }

  class OtherFunctionality extends Receiver {
    override def receive: Receive = {
        case "two" => println("OtherFunctionality received two")
    }
  }

  class MainFunctionality extends Receiver {
    override def receive: Receive = {
        case "three" => println("MainFunctionality received three")
    }
  }

  class CompositeReceiver(receivers: List[Receiver]) extends Receiver {
    override def receive: Receive = {
      case msg =>
        receivers.find(_.receive.isDefinedAt(msg)) map (_.receive(msg))
    }
  }

  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    val main = new CompositeReceiver(List(new OtherFunctionality, new LoadBalancer, new MainFunctionality))

    main.receive("one")
    main.receive("two")
    main.receive("three")
  }
}

Thread: HTML, My worst enemy.
I just feel like flaming right now, maybe another spam attack on a random website....WHY? Because I have lately been trying to use DreamWeaver to make a website for my newest upcoming comedy film (home made of course) called Its A generic horror scene 2. Now, I am trying to learn HTML. But sadly the books on it are expensive, and being 16 means I want to waste my money on girls and art stuff (I plan on being a comic book artist or video game conecpt artist.) So I dont have alot of money to blow on books since most of it goes towards Girls, Guns, Random video games, and film production. How does working at Wal-Mart pay for this stuff? I WORK THREE JOBS. So....In all....Whats the best resource to learn HTML. I prefer free. FREE IS ME! But, alas, the goddamn Goverment seems to hate the word "free." So, Get me free or cheapest resource possible. If you do...I shall CC you. Thanks guys.

Honestly, all this stuff is unnecessary and makes you look like an idiot.
As for your HTML problem, I mostly use W3 Schools as a reference if I ever need help with anything web development. They have an HTML Tutorial and tons of examples.
Lol, yes you are right, maybe I said to much, but it was needed to stress how much money I spend. And the need for a free resource, thanks for the reply dude.
No offense brotha but if you work 3 jobs and $22 is expensive your doing something wrong.
Anyway. Recently read this to refresh my memory on the subject. Very easy read explains everything really well. But if your concerned about money there's an unbelievable number of tutorials on the internet.
Just saying, if you want to become an artist it's very usefull if you can build websites. It makes you an all-rounder and building websites can be a lot of fun and gives you possibilitys to design as well. People actually pay very well for good looking websites, so if you want to become an artist-entrepreneur, I highly recommend it.
Thanks bro, Ill look into it.

The Versatile Organization
Hotel Front Maritim Barcelona
69 Passeig de Garcia Fària, Barcelona, 08019
What comes after Management 3.0, SAFe, and the Spotify Model?
What comes after Management 3.0, SAFe, and the Spotify Model? Well, it's not hard to see in which direction the world is moving: organizations that consist of networked individuals who work from anywhere, who form teams on the fly, who aim for objectives and achieve results, and make that a whole lotta fun for themselves. Such an organization can do anything!
Dynamic Teaming with Networked Individuals
All organizations need business agility and continuous innovation. But if you work exclusively with dedicated teams that always need to go through forming, storming, and norming stages before they can finally perform, you're out of luck. That's neither agile nor innovative. The accelerated pace of change in the world asks for more fluidity of work structures and a switch from dedicated teams to dynamic teaming.
In our new connected age, we need networked individuals who can team with each other on the fly and who can fluidly collaborate and form flexible team structures depending on context. With dynamic teaming, a business is better equipped to become a continuous learning organization. However, this demands a culture of transparency and psychological safety and new approaches to collaboration, motivation, and performance.
Hybrid Workplaces of the Future
After a year of lockdowns, Covid-19 policies, and many people working from home, organizations call workers back to the office. But not everyone, and not all the time. In hybrid workplaces, most team members are at the office for a limited number of days and hours of the week. Some work only from home. Some only at the office. And many spend their working time at clients, coworking spaces, or coffee bars.
But how should organizations manage that? When should everyone be at the office? How often should team members meet in person? What are the consequences for security, diversity, and performance? Can we still have static teams in a world of networked individuals? And how do we optimize creativity and productivity with team members spread across the country?
OKRs, KPIs and the North Star Metric
Objectives and Key Results seem to be the new Holy Grail. Many organizations are embracing the new goal-setting framework that was invented at Intel and popularized by Google. At the same time, most organizations are unwilling to let go of their Key Performance Indicators. After all, how can you achieve objectives without targets and incentives?
And then there is the North Star Metric: the highly focused approach commonly used by startups and scale-ups to get high-performance, agile teams aligned around a single team-wide metric. And if this technique works for young businesses, then why not the larger ones? And does goal setting even work when people are dynamically teaming and switching between contexts?
Motivation and Gamification at Work
For many years, organizations have wondered how to motivate their workers. Average employee engagement has been low for decades, and no employee engagement program seems to have a lasting effect. But it doesn't have to be like that. There are plenty of examples of organizations with very motivated and engaged workers. Many of them, deliberate or not, rely on principles and practices that we also find in gamification.
Gamification is all about applying concepts and techniques from good game design. The purpose of games is to give people a great time while doing some activities together. How is that any different from working together as a team? But beware! Gamification comes with a dark side. We need to avoid addiction and unintended consequences.
Mid-level employees such as functional managers, product managers, coaches, consultants, team leaders, HR team members, change agents
The increase of dynamic reteaming
The challenge of hybrid workplaces
The blending of OKRs and KPIs
The options of gamification
What are the post-pandemic challenges in the workplace?
How can we perform well with stable and flexible teams?
How do existing methods and frameworks need to adapt?
How do we motivate teams in post-pandemic workplaces?
How do we boost and measure performance in the future?
This workshop is led by:
Jurgen Appelo, CEO of a startup and quite familiar with all the latest trends. He was once Entrepreneur of the Year in The Netherlands. He launched Agility Scales, a company that got EUR 1M of investments. He founded two other businesses, both of which are profitable. As a public speaker, he travels around Europe all the time. His list of clients includes the largest and best-known European companies.
Max Participants : 25 + 3 Organizers/Facilitators

      Ping Statistics for 10.23.14.115

What happens if you get a longer result using one computer and a shorter result using another computer?

A: Depends on which system and which ping implementation you use.
On Windows, by default ping sends 4 packets only. So you get 4 responses, like the 1st example you give.  If you do ping -t some-host, it'll keep pinging until you stop it with CTRL+C.  You typically want to do this when you are restarting a server, you would do ping -t your-server so that you know as soon as the server is online.
On Linux, I believe by default ping keeps pinging the host until you stop it.

Austerity Definition | Finance Dictionary | MBA Skool-Study.Learn.Share.
In economics, austerity measures are the actions taken by government to reduce its fiscal deficit. These measures are combination of reducing expenses and increases taxes.
Sometimes, Government is pursued to take austerity measures if country defaults on its loan payments or debt rises above accepted levels. Sometimes, government voluntary takes austerity measures to bring its expenditure in line with revenues.
Few of the European countries such as Greece, Italy and Spain introduced austerity measures after their debt to GDP ratio rose significantly.
Austerity measures can lead to economic, socio-political effects. It leads to lower economic output and consumption. However, some argue that the relation between austerity measures and economic growth is not so straight forward. It depends on many other factors. Government reduces development and social spending which might result in unrest among citizens. If government decides to raise taxes, it leads to decrease in private consumption and savings.

My boyfriend and I had recently split up after only a few months of dating. No matter how long we'd been together, I was in serious need of some dance therapy. Clark, one of my good friends, offered to take me out one night. .
. a hard opportunity to pass up. Clark didn't drink much, and he never had issues taking care of me if I accidentally drank myself silly. After agreeing to go out, I put some real effort into myself while I got ready.
I straightened my hair, fixed my make up quite nice, and picked out a decent outfit which generally included a nice pair of tight jeans, and a flashy low cut tank top. Since Clark and I live on opposite sides of town, we met at the club. The night started out great, I found a group of girls I'd met a few times before and danced with them.
Clark wasn't much of a dancer, so he had the tendency to sit at a table and people-watch. This seemed to work in his favor this particular night, because within about twenty minutes a fairly pretty girl sat down and started talking with him. As the night went on, Clark asked if it would be okay if he left.
Shortly after he left, I spotted a group of people I'd graduated high school with several years before, and I made my way over to say hello. It wasn't until I was closer that I saw him, one of our old high school teachers, Damien. Personally, I'd never had him as one of my teachers, but I definitely knew who he was.
Let's face it, it was hard not to admire the guy, he was quite young and very good looking. Anyways, Damien bought a round for the table and offered up the empty chair next to him for me to sit. Before I knew it, he'd treated me to five rounds and was dragging me out onto the dance floor with him.
I was originally there to dance in the first place, so it was damn hard to resist. Things started out friendly. We were mostly laughing and goofing around. But a few songs in he was working himself up to placing his hands on my hips, and I didn't find myself fighting him off.
About forty five minutes later, we were still dancing. The dance floor was getting cramped with all the extra bodies, and it meant we had a smaller space to work with in terms of dancing. With the floor now flooded with swaying bodies, the DJ changed the music to something people could bump and grind to, and I found Damien pulling me closer yet.
Damiens fingers twisted in the side of my shirt, and he began turning me so that my back was against his torso. I continued dancing to the rhythm, my hips keeping pace with the rhythm and probably moving a bit suggestively. He seemed to appreciate this, because he began pressing more firmly against me, and his head leaned down towards my neck.
'Maybe it's the alcohol kicking in, or maybe it's because you've got me so hot. . . but, you're feeling really good right about now.
' he said into my ear. I hadn't felt it yet, but he was growing hard in his jeans. 'It's probably the alcohol making you brave. ' I replied, smiling back at him.
Damien's fingers slid from my hips to my stomach, and he began gently pulling me more firmly against him. 'Probably. And regardless, you've got so many things running through my mind right now. ' he admitted.

Cypress Christian School to relocate to Bridgeland in 2025
By Danica Lloyd | 10:54 AM Dec 10, 2021 CST
Updated 10:54 AM Dec 10, 2021 CST
Cypress Christian School is moving to Bridgeland in 2025. (Rendering courtesy Cypress Christian School)
Officials with Cypress Christian School and with the Howard Hughes Corp. have confirmed the local private school will relocate to Prairieland Village in the Bridgeland master-planned community in 2025.
It will move from its current location at 11123 Cypress N. Houston Road, Houston, to the intersection of Prairieland Creek Drive and Bridgeland Creek Parkway.
The new 130,000-square-foot campus will be built on a 40-acre property to house up to 1,000 K-12 students and more than 100 staff members, according to a news release. This space will allow the school to expand educational facilities and athletics amenities, and accommodate for a new fine arts building and ample parking, officials said.
"Thanks to our remarkable and supportive families, we have outgrown our current campus, presenting us with a unique opportunity to build a larger educational facility in Bridgeland that will allow us a greater impact on the lives of our current and future students," Cypress Christian School President Jeffrey Potts said in a statement. "The availability of space in such an exceptional, award-winning community allows us to further our mission of academic excellence and biblical values. We firmly believe this decision is the bridge to our future."
Cypress Christian School is the largest private school in the Cy-Fair area with a current enrollment of nearly 700 students and has a mission to provide both academic excellence and biblical values.
Earlier this year, the school won the 2020-21 4A Henderson Cup, which is awarded to the best overall private school statewide based on achievement in academics, fine arts and athletics, according to Cypress Christian School officials. Additionally, the school's football team took home the TAPPS Division III state championship title in early December.
Officials with the Howard Hughes Corp. said they are excited to welcome the school and offer residents additional education options for their children.
"Bridgeland is home to acclaimed schools, with a strong educational legacy that has been built over 15 years," said Heath Melton, a regional president for The Howard Hughes Corp., in a statement. "As one of the top-selling master-planned communities in Texas, the number of families choosing to live in Bridgeland is rapidly growing, and high-quality schools help drive that success. Cypress Christian School will be a welcome addition to the number of academic offerings available to Bridgeland residents."

During World War One, numerous U.S. Navy ships were outfitted with new vacuum-tube radio transmitters, which were occasionally used to broadcast concerts to local installations, in this case from off the coast of California.
Telephone Engineer, March, 1919, page 107:
Music by Wireless
The radio department of Rockwell field at San Diego gave a treat to music lovers February 2 which, so far as is known, was never tried in the world before. The treat was entitled "Moonlight Witches Dance," the music coming from the battleship Marblehead transmitted by wireless telephone.
The affair was arranged for the concession containing the cabaret and dance, and in charge of Lieut. R. C. Roberts of the radio department. The apparatus was tuned so as to sound as if the music was in the house, and not miles away.
Arrangements were made with the officer in charge of radio at Point Loma to cut down the spark there at regular intervals, in order to permit the use of the telephone for music without interference from outside sources. Although the apparatus can be tuned for one distance only, Lieut. Roberts would take no chances with the music being spoiled by heavy radio sparks.
A perfect reproduction was made of tones from the Victrola aboard the Marblehead, the volume of tone being greater than the musical instrument itself.

An early start today, got to get working, got to get out the shipyard. The weather today was perfect, just a bit of drizzle, not enough to stop work. All day I have been cleaning, scraping, sanding and painting. Truce is now almost ready for antifouling paint.
After a couple of glasses of amber nectar last night I found a solution to the broken strut. The strut is like a leg, when a leg is broken you splint it. Why not splint the strut? By putting stainless plates either side of the strut and bolting them through, the strut is made whole again. The whole arrangement acts like an 'I' beam and has great strength.
A young guy called Jimmy Pritchett did the work and made a great job of it. The bolts are tapped into the receiving plate and then welded in place to prevent any chance of movement. I am very pleased and relieved to have got the job completed. I feel pretty tired tonight, it's been a long day. The boat is in disarray, stuff everywhere as I am doing some small jobs inside now that we are out of the water.
The biggest inconvenience is not having fresh water at hand. Wrangell has a water crisis (treatment plant problem). Hope the weather holds for a couple more days.

Fishing with Gubby
Amelia Frances Howard-Gibbon Illustrator's Award (2011), Bill Duthie Booksellers' Choice Award--BC Book Prize (2011), Governor General's Literary Award for Children's Literature--Illustration (2011), Joe Shuster Award (2011), Moonbeam Children's Book Awards (2011)
Fishing with Gubby is the marvelously illustrated, authentic account of one season in the life of a salmon fisherman. Based on actual events, the story is told by award-winning children's illustrator Kim La Fave and former fisherman Gary Kent. Together they make the wharfs, boats, fishermen and villages of the BC coast come alive with remarkable detail and humour.
Gubby is a salmon fisherman who lives with his wife Millie and cat Puss in a small seaside village on the west coast of British Columbia. He keeps his boat, the Flounder--a 36-foot west coast salmon troller--at a local wharf with many other boats.
Gubby's journey first takes him up BC's west coast, through Georgia, Johnstone and Queen Charlotte straits and north past Port Hardy. He then heads into the open ocean towards treacherous Cape Scott, through to Winter Harbour and Quatsino Sound to settle in for a summer of fishing. Gubby and Puss face rolling rapids, rough and tumble storms and banks of fog, tussle with a basking shark and a pod of orcas, all while trolling for spring and coho salmon
and visiting other fishermen and homesteaders along the way.
Part graphic novel and part ocean adventure story in the style of Raymond Briggs, Fishing with Gubby not only depicts the salty BC coast, it captures the vanishing "golden age" when fishing was more than just a job--it was a way of life.

CGA freshman honors abolitionist Stevens
Photo Credit National Constitution Center
George wins contest with essay on Thaddeus Stevens
When talking about great Americans, Thaddeus Stevens is not one that trips off the tongue quickly – if at all.
But his spot in history is important enough to garner him a spot on the American National Tree, and you can thank Culver Girls Academy freshman C. Sophia George (Indianapolis) for that. George wrote the winning essay on Stevens earlier this summer and recently returned from the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, where Stevens was added to the tree on Sept. 17.
His plaque (digital display) now hangs on the tree sculpture next to a copy of George's essay about him. He is one of 100 Americans so honored. Others include the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Ryan White, Mickey Mouse, and Nellie Bly. The tree is part of an exhibit called The Story of We the People, which tells the stories of those honored and how their actions helped shape the Constitution over time.
Stevens was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives during Abraham Lincoln's presidency. A strong abolitionist, he helped draft the 14th Amendment during Reconstruction. George said one way to remember Stevens is that he is played by actor Tommy Lee Jones in Steven Spielberg's movie Lincoln, which includes Hal Holbrook '42 as Preston Blair.
And, for most people, that would be enough. But George wanted to dig deeper. And it was tough going, she said.
It was really difficult to find information about him. Reliable sources were hard to come by.
"It was really difficult to find information about him," she explained. "Reliable sources were hard to come by. There's Wikipedia and a couple of websites, but that's about it on the internet. There are not any hardback books about him. Mostly what I found were people he was related to or had contact with and he's mentioned. But there are not a lot of specifics. Most of it is general information."
But her digging paid off for her and Stevens, who was one of five nominees up for inclusion on the American National Tree. George said participants could select one of the five to cover in an essay of between 250 and 500 words. She chose Stevens because she was intrigued by his short biography.
George was invited to participate by the National Constitution Center, Scholastic, Inc., and the Alliance for Young Artists and Writers because she had won an earlier Scholastic essay competition. But the email inviting her came only two weeks before the essay was due. She did her research and then wrote her rough draft, which was over the 500-word limit. Then the editing process started.
"I don't really do different drafts," she explained. "I fine tune as I go along. I'm continuously editing. At the very end, I asked my sister Sarah '17 to look it over and tell me what she thought. She gave me a few pointers."
After she submitted the essay, it took about a month for the submissions to go through the various judges before her piece was selected over the other 250 entries. She had an email waiting on her one morning when she woke up.
"I read the email and I started screaming that I had won," George laughed. "I ran through the house screaming. Then I realized I was alone. And I was like 'OK, I'm alone here.' So, the excitement was deferred for a while. It was still pretty exciting though."
As the winner of the M.R. Robinson American National Tree Award, George got to read her essay before the audience during Stevens' induction ceremony. She also received a $1,000 scholarship. The ceremony was held on Constitution Day. Sept. 17, 1787, is the day the U.S. Constitution was signed by 39 of our Founding Fathers.

Over the weekend, what used to be my regular gaming group assembled over lunch to discuss getting back into the swing of actually playing around the same table in the same room again. It has been too long. While PBeM and games over Messenger have enabled us to keep certain games moving along at a glacial pace, for all intents and purposes, gaming activities have been on the most minimal of life support.
Our group has always operated under two or more GMs with an essentially monthly rotation of setting and system, interspersed with some experimental, theme-based, or holiday-focused one-shots. This allowed us to try out a lot of systems and characters, but it also meant that we had to try out a lot of systems and start a lot of characters. Sometimes, the good is the bad, and the bad is the good.
Once the food finally came – from Antarctica, I am guessing – we settled down to the business of deciding if we wanted to game face-to-face again, if we could schedule it, what that schedule would actually be, and what game and GM would be first up. For us, like many groups I am sure, this sort of dialogue is prone to stalling and leaving the question without a definite resolution – particularly if you are just listing games you think you might like to try. Having been caught in that trap before, we opted to evade it this time by trying to refine what sort of setting and system we had played in the past was enjoyed by us all more or less equally. In addition, we also addressed an on again, off again concern about being jacks of many systems and masters of none. With all of this experimentation and no regular practice, certain aspects of the games we play are never really brought kicking and screaming out into the light and made to serve us as they ought. It was put forward that we establish a setting and associated system to use for a long-term, shared campaign and to really try to make the most of it.
After a reasonable debate, we settled on Heroic Pulp Adventure, and opted to use Exile Game Studios' Hollow Earth Expedition. The Ubiquity Roleplaying System offers elements we all like, and occupies a spot on the Learning Curve versus Granularity index which matches the cross-over point in our Available Time versus Desire for Verisimilitude graph.
As we all live and work in Seoul, we have decided to set the game in Asia. After some discussion of politics and logistics, we settled on Shanghai as the ostensible base of operations for the cast of characters. As the setting will be shared, we have each decided to generate two characters, one with an action-oriented bent, and the other with a more intellectual disposition, to balance out the different design styles of each GM, and provide a large enough pool of character expertise to expand the range of possible story types as far as possible for such a small group of players.
It is early days, yet, but I am quite pleased by this turn of events, and am very much looking forward to getting started in Shanghai in 1936. Additionally, I am hoping to be able to do a direct comparison of Ubiquity and Savage Worlds in play to see for myself the dynamics of each.

Thomas Melindi was tested on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan as a sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps. Then he was tested in the classrooms of Orange Coast College.
On Thursday, as the student speaker at the college's graduation ceremony, Melindi, a Brooklyn, N.Y., native, playfully compared the two experiences, saying each was equally stressful.
But one thing is now certain: His next step in life is going to be just as calculated and concise as it was in the classroom and on the battlefield. That's because life after community college, he said, is more "a marathon than a sprint."
And if there's anything he's taken from his experience overseas in the Middle East, it's that he'll never take America for granted.
"The time I spent there shed light on how truly blessed I am to be an American," said Melindi, 25, who next will attend UC Irvine to major in business administration.
He was just one of more than 2,000 students who received their associate's degrees and career certificates as thousands of proud parents and friends filled into the outdoor Pacific Amphitheatre to watch the students, dressed in caps and gowns, receive their diplomas.
Next up for hundreds of students is either the real world or onward toward a bachelor's degree at a four-year university, whether from UC Berkeley, UCLA or Stanford, in state or out of state.
It was the 62nd annual graduation ceremony, and although he did not attend OCC, astronomy professor Nicholas Contopoulos said not a day goes by on the job that he doesn't enjoy walking to class and talking with the students, encouraging them to question everything and leave no stone unturned.
Quoting the great boxer Muhammad Ali, he said, "Don't count the days; count the days that count."
"Students," he added, "make your days count."
He went on to offer a few astronomical factoids: One, there are something like 350 other planetary systems outside our solar system; There's even one planet, in fact, that's filled with nothing but water; on another, if you were to visit it, you'd weigh 30 pounds lighter than what you are on Earth.
But just as Melindi loves America, Contopoulos extolled the virtues of Earth.
"We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors," he said. "We borrow it from our children. The future is out there. Make it an exciting journey."
Jeff Hobbs, spokesman for the community college, said in an earlier interview that a quarter of the some 2,000 graduates received career certificates — that is, they are now experienced enough to go out and get a job, whether it's serving as a radiologist in the healthcare industry or becoming an emergency medical technician.
That's what the community college is all about, he said. It's about planning for the future, something hundreds of thousands of people are doing across the nation as the result of a high unemployment rate and a need for retraining for new jobs.
"But you've got to sign up early, in some cases, and get a jump on things" Hobbs said. "If you don't, there are waiting lists. That's how high the demand is for a community college education these days."
Also honored at the ceremony was Katrina Foley, a Costa Mesa City Council member, who was selected as the 2010 Citizen of the Year by the college. A total 1,376 students received Associate in Arts degrees, while 516 earned Associate in Science degrees. Certificates of completion were presented to 511 students.

3 Marketing Best Practices to Ignore When Developing Your Website's Navigation
Blog Article | 9 min read | August 15, 2018
The process of developing a website is always an exercise in finding a balance between pursuing creative ideas and adhering to convention. The best websites — the ones that satisfy your needs and provoke your curiosity — land somewhere in the middle. The worst can be found at either extreme.
Each part of a website-to-be is subject to this balancing act. Do we do what everyone else does, or do we try something new? Marketers will try to answer this question using careful research and trend analysis, but research and trend analysis have led many well-intentioned projects astray.
Good data and so-called "best practices," when interpreted incorrectly, can lead to negative outcomes. In this post, we'll consider the ways in which data-driven decision making and usability concerns meet head to head in the design of website navigation systems.
What is Navigation?
In the context of a website, navigation describes the system which allows users to get from one part of a site to another; it includes universally recognizable elements such as search bars, top-level menu items, and dropdown lists. Nielsen Norman Group, leaders in usability research, state that:
"The primary goal of navigation is to help users find information and functionality, and encourage them to take desirable actions."
What these definitions may fail to communicate, however, is the sacred nature of navigation systems. These systems have remained relatively unchanged since the early days of the internet, and have informed our fundamental web-browsing behaviors. Their standardization allows us to visit a website for the first time and immediately know how to get around — even if the content on that site is completely foreign.
As Morville and Rosenfeld write in Information Architecture for the World Wide Web, Navigation systems provide "a sense of context and comfort as we explore new places."
An analogy:
There's a big difference between a Ferrari 458 and a Volkswagen Bus, but a competent driver could probably figure out how to operate either. That's because steering and transmission controls are relatively universal. When you begin departing from these fundamental conventions, you end up with high interaction costs and negative user experiences.
IMAGE: www.saabplanet.com
The Saab Prometheus is a perfect example of good research leading to bad outcomes. Based on the very real data that steering wheels cause injuries in auto accidents, Saab engineers decided to forego the steering wheel altogether, replacing it with an airplane-esque joystick. This concept car was notoriously difficult to drive and never made it to production.
We're not suggesting that website navigation conventions should never be challenged — only that extra care must be taken when considering breaking from traditional navigation systems, even if the idea is based on good data.
Here are three marketing best practices which can lead to bad navigation design and reduced usability when interpreted incorrectly:
Best Practice #1: Website content should be driven primarily
by an understanding of buyer personas.
At Salted Stone, we start most engagements by working to develop a clear, well-documented image of our client's buyer personas. It's well-understood that having a deep understanding of these personas enables more targeted marketing and sales efforts and improves business outcomes.
The website development process is no exception. Buyer personas should be top-of-mind when developing a website's information architecture, and should inform all of the content that eventually makes it onto the finished site — after all, we're operating under the assumption that these personas represent the bulk of our intended audience.
This mindset leads some organizations to pursue the idea of persona-specific navigation. Bucknell University is one example. They opted out of a traditional navigation structure, instead creating an "I'm looking for…" menu filled with points along their buyer's' journey.
Unfortunately, this kind of navigation is likely to alienate users and decrease the availability of information. According to Nielsen Norman, "forcing people to self-identify creates an additional step and takes people out of their task mindset." In addition, users will often feel anxious that the information they're seeing on their persona-specific page is incomplete, and may be afraid of missing out on important content.
In addition, it's important to remember that buyer personas are representative, not comprehensive. Bucknell University probably identified their buyer personas as students, parents, and alumni. However, there are various other groups who might be interested in learning more about the school, like high school teachers or guidance counselors. Because they don't fit in with the persona-based navigation, these outlying visitors are left without a starting point.
Best Practice #2: Video is the most engaging form of content and
should be a point of focus for online marketing.
Users absolutely love video, and the statistics that back up this claim are staggering. For example, four times as many users would rather watch a video about a product than read about it, and just including the word "video" in an email subject line can increase click-through rates by 65%.
This much is clear: Video is a great way to increase time-on-page, deliver information about your business in an engaging way, and promote social sharing and organic growth.
However, often these facts are misinterpreted to mean that users are specifically seeking out video when they come to a website; unless that site is called YouTube or Netflix, this probably isn't the case. As a result, when developing navigation, project leaders may decide to include a section called "videos."
This is an example of format-based navigation, something many web usability experts strongly recommend against. The issue with this navigation style is that, with rare exceptions, users aren't coming to your site to seek out specific types of content. Instead, they're seeking out answers to specific questions.
In other words, resources separated into categories like "Videos" "Ebooks" and "Blog Posts" are far less useful than resources separated in categories like "Starting an Online Business" or "Understanding Regulations."
Best Practice #3: Creating branded terminology is good for SEO.
The basic principle behind search engine optimization is that your business is in competition with countless others to rank on the first page of search results for certain terms — a ranking that's based on how authoritative the search engine determines your site is. The most straightforward strategy for getting to the top is generating large quantities of high-quality content — however, this is expensive and difficult.
Another way to go about SEO is to target more specific keywords, and one of the best ways to do this is to invent branded terms and target those instead of their generic alternatives. For example, HubSpot doesn't appear until page 3 when you google "online marketing," but they're #1 for "inbound marketing," a branded term they coined and then disseminated.
Similarly, it's a good idea to come up with branded terms for your products and services, so that as they increase in popularity, they don't get drowned out by competitors with similarly titled offerings.
The one place where this concept does not apply, however, is top-level navigation (despite what some bloggers would have you believe).
Remember: the primary goal of navigation is to help users find what they need.
SEO is an important consideration, but if it keeps navigation from accomplishing its primary function, then it's going to be detrimental to the user experience.
Take a look at the navigation on Airtable's website:
By using the words "Blocks" (a branded term for a feature of their platform) and "Universe" (their name for their resources database), they've increased new visitors' interaction costs. A visitor may not be able to find what they're looking for immediately, and instead have to click blindly into unknown pages hoping that the desired information will be there. Airtable's decision may be working for them, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will work for you.
Going back to the automotive example from above, it's perfectly acceptable to call the way your car drives "SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring Control," but if it doesn't say "D" on the gearbox, then drivers are going to have a bad time.
As Nielsen Norman puts it, "Navigation should not be like a box of chocolates: people must know what they are going to get before they bite." So, before you give your users a big mouthful of almond praline when they really wanted nougat, consider the long history of standardized navigation systems and the high costs of breaking from these conventions.

I recently went to a traditional Japanese festival in Ikebukuro, Tokyo which was naturally outdoors, displaying lots of Japanese cultural and religious history and background. I've been to a Japanese festival before and wasn't surprised to see the big parade, nor the tonnes of delicious Japanese food, nor the traditional Japanese dancing and drumming.
However, I really didn't expect to see a full bar with servers dressed up in tuxedos, especially since the event was outdoors and so casual. But of course anything is possible in this country!!!
This entry was posted on September 28, 2010 by emikosan. It was filed under Japan, Only in... .
Great post, Emily, and you've prompted the creation of a new category: 'Only in…' It's a great idea to try to get at something that seems to really be a hallmark, a distinctive characteristic of the place that you're visiting.
But the tuxedo thing is really interesting. I wonder if it's a situation where the Japanese people involved aren't as worried about the distinction between what is 'traditional' and what is 'modern,' or what's 'authentic' and what's 'imported.' Anthropologists talk about how certain practices (like tuxedos, in this case) get taken on board in new places and fundamentally transformed: people don't even realize sometimes that the practice isn't authentic.
Great eye for the odd detail though. Loved the photos.
Indeed anything is possible in Japan! I recall the way the staff in department stores dressed too – not in tuxedos perhaps, but very smart and always with white gloves. And all the staff at the railways stations, including the people who sweep the platforms- white gloves always. It's the same as always leaving your outside shoes outside – no personal physical contact with the contamination of the outdoor world at all. Never touching food with your bare hands too – maintaining very clear demarcation lines between different elements of existence. Have you found yourself characterised as a rather grubby 'gaijin' yet? I remember very clearly being ticked off in no uncertain terms by a five year old when I walked out of the bathroom still wearing the 'toilet slippers'! Unforgivable and highly embarrassing!

Tehran begins test run of nuclear plant despite weapons fear
Written by Tony Halpin in Moscow - The Times Online
Iran moves a step closer to joining the nuclear club today by beginning a test run of its Russian-built atomic power plant. Officials in Tehran said that the Bushehr plant would undergo operational tests during a visit by Sergei Kiriyenko, the head of Russia's state atomic energy corporation.
Mr Kiriyenko is travelling to Iran to discuss completion of the $1 billion (£695 million) project, which is running almost three years behind schedule after repeated delays caused by disputes over payment. Iran's atomic energy organisation said that the power station was now expected to start work in the first half of this year. Russia said that today's test would not involve nuclear fuel.
Tehran insists that its nuclear programme is purely for civilian purposes to overcome electricity shortages in its economy. But the United States and European Union suspect that Iran is secretly building a nuclear bomb and the United Nations Security Council has imposed sanctions over the regime's refusal to suspend uranium enrichment.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will meet next week to consider the latest report by the director-general, Mohamed ElBaradei, on Iran, amid continuing concern over the Islamic republic's intentions. The IAEA reported last week that inspectors had discovered an additional 209 kilograms (461lb) of low-enriched uranium, a third more than was previously thought to be held. The find took Tehran over the threshold of the "nuclear breakout capacity" of a tonne of fissile material, the amount that is sufficient to make a bomb.
While it could take months and even years to enrich the uranium to weapons-grade material, the development has raised fears about Iranian ambitions to new heights.
Russia has refused to abandon the Bushehr project, which it started in 1998. It argues that no evidence exists of an Iranian weapons programme and that the Islamic state has the same right as other countries to develop civil nuclear energy. Iran had provided written assurances not to use uranium supplied by Russia for any purpose other than civil energy and all spent fuel would have to be returned to Russia for reprocessing. Russia delivered 82 tonnes of low-enriched uranium to Iran last year, which is under IAEA supervision.
Alexei Borodavkin, Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister, told the Islamic Republic News Agency this month that Moscow saw no reason to change its policy towards Iran. He insisted that Bushehr would be completed and put into operation.
Relations between Russia and Iran present a key challenge for President Obama. The United States needs Russian help in transporting essential supplies to Nato forces in Afghanistan and it can not afford to alienate Moscow as it pushes to restrain Iran's nuclear activities. However, co-operation over Iran will also be an early test of Moscow's willingness to find common ground with the US.
Fears that Russia may sell advanced anti-aircraft systems to Tehran are already causing concern in the US and Israel, which have refused to rule out a military strike on Iran's nuclear installations if diplomacy fails.
Iran's Defence Minister visited Moscow last week amid reports that Russia was ready to sell S300 air-defence systems, which have a range of 150 kilometres (95 miles) and can intercept jets at low altitudes. Moscow has already supplied 29 Tor-M1 missile-defence systems to Tehran in a 2005 deal worth $700 million.
Russia's defence ministry denied that it had sold "offensive weapons" to Iran. Kommersant newspaper reported, however, that Moscow had already signed a contract but was holding back delivery as a response to American overtures for an improved relationship.
The new US Administration has signalled that it is willing to accommodate Russian concerns over the planned American missile-defence shield in Eastern Europe. Since the shield is principally aimed at threats from Iran, any deal would be likely to involve Russian support for efforts to prevent Tehran from acquiring a nuclear bomb.

What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, the worship leader has a hymn, and the pastor has a word of instruction, a presentation or a joke. All of these must be done to create an atmosphere.
If anyone speaks in a tongue, everyone should speak at the same time so that no one else can understand.
If there is no interpreter, they should speak even louder.
Only one guest preacher should speak and the others should accept what he says without testing it. If anyone sitting down has a question he should keep it to himself and ask the pastor after the service.
For the pastor can prophesy because he has a theology degree.
The content of the sermons is subject to the control of the pastor.
This fellowship was the work of the Holy Spirit and remains the model of church for all times. Times change but God's will and Jesus' commandment will never change.
What can we see from this description and other passages of the Bible about the features of the church?
Learning from Jesus' love who gave his life for us, Christians want to give their lives for one another to help that everyone will reach the aim. They encourage, admonish, and build each other up.
A clear sign of the first Christians' love for each other was the readiness to have everything in common. Nobody prescribed it to them; they did it voluntarily as a natural consequence of love. Sharing their spiritual lives with each other resulted in sharing their material property as well.
Love is the base of the right structure of the church. If there is brotherly love among Christians there is no room for any hierarchy as the aim is to love and not to rule over each other.
In the first Christian church we see that there were apostles, elder brothers (elders—Greek: πρεσβύτεροι = presbyteroi) who were also called overseers (Greek: επίσκοποι = episkopoi—translated sometimes as bishops) or pastors1; we also read about evangelists, prophets, teachers etc. These are, however, no titles or ranks like in worldly organizations but gifts, tasks, and services given by God to build up the church.
Every member participates in the edification of the church according to his gifts. Some brothers are elder in faith or God entrusted them more responsibility but the aim is that everyone can grow in maturity. If everyone devotes himself there is no need of a leader who organizes everything. Such a monarchic structure (one pastor system) is far from the New Testament. The church has one head, this is Jesus and we as brothers are all members of his body. If we read about elders or leaders in the NT we always find them in plural and always in the above sense, i.e., like elder brothers in a family who help the younger and weaker ones to grow and reach maturity so that they can also bear more and more responsibility in God's kingdom.
In this chapter Paul encourages the Christian church in Corinth that they should respect the Holy Spirit's work in each other and should not exalt themselves thinking that the gifts of some members are more precious than those of the others.
The base of all this is the fervent desire of everyone to devote themselves for God and each other. If this is missing then it is very convenient that one appointed person conducts almost everything and the other members just have to attend a prepared program.
They understood that they had to change radically and Peter confirmed it when he said that they had to repent. Repentance means to give up the old life of sin and to live as God's holy people.
The first church was not attractive to those who wanted to continue their sinful lives but it was a clear invitation for those who wanted to repent. As we see through the example of Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5:1–11), God himself guarded the holiness of the church. Jesus gave authority to the church to exclude from among themselves those who do not want to give up their sins (Matthew 18:15–18). A practical realization of this is visible also in 1 Corinthians 5:1–13. The church can only fulfill its mission in the world if it does not accept people who want to continue in their sins. It should be an assembly in which those people who want to be holy can support each other in their fights against sin not only with words but with their living examples.
Being one as Jesus was one with the Father is a very deep unity which is not restricted only to some basic doctrines of the Bible (like believing in the Trinity, the divinity of Jesus, justification by faith through Jesus etc.) but it refers to everything that Jesus and the apostles taught.
Unity does not mean uniformity but obedience to God's leading in doctrinal as well as practical questions of life.
The fact that nowadays there are divisions and different teachings among people who call themselves Christians is a sign that the Holy Spirit cannot work among them because they oppose Him with their own human interpretations based on their wishes.
This can in no ways be accepted as something normal or part of natural human diversity. Paul saw a great danger in the divisions which occurred among the Corinthians even though they did not have doctrinal disunity.
As we see in Jesus' prayer (John 17:21) unity is an important part of our mission in the world because through this the world should realize that Jesus was not just a religion founder like many others before and after him but what he founded was the work of God, which cannot be imitated or reproduced by human efforts. In the world there are many organizations and religious movements which are held together by some common aims and principles. The Christian church, however, is different: the disciples of Jesus are one in everything—this is not possible by human effort only through the power of God.
As the first Christians received the right teaching from the apostles, all Christians later on also have to build on the same base (see Ephesians 2:19, quoted above). What the apostles heard from Jesus and what the Holy Spirit revealed to them was handed down by them to the first Christians. Now we have it in written form as the books of the New Testament. This was the base in that time and remains the base forever. No one can add anything to it or take away anything from it.
Christians will never accept new teachings or traditions contrary to the New Testament.
The church is universal2 in the sense that the belief of Christians has been everywhere and always the same. It is not identical with the belief of the big organizations which claim to be the original churches founded by Jesus but it has been always and everywhere the belief of the assembly of those people who have clung to the right teachings in spite of the deception in the name of Jesus.
