Every three months a new Poster Parade is installed for visitors to enjoy at London Transport Museum (LTM). The themes of the poster parades are often selected to either showcase a particular strength of the LTM poster collection, coincide with an exhibition or celebrate national or international events such as the Olympic Games. The poster parades are usually curated by young museum professionals such SOCL trainee curators or University of Leicester Museum Studies Interns. A SOCL trainee curator is a traineeship position provided by Cultural Cooperation in partnership with London Transport Museum through their Strengthening Our Common Life (SOCL) programme which encourages greater diversity in the Museum workforce.
As a current SOCL trainee at LTM I had the privilege of curating the current Poster Parade, Literary London, which explores the ways in which designers have engaged with the subject of literature in posters commissioned by London Transport and Transport for London. The display also celebrates National Storytelling Week (30 January – 6 February 2016) and World Book Day (3 March 2016).
The theme for the exhibition was chosen because literary references are a recurring theme in London's transport posters, from the early 20th century to the present day. The posters displayed in the exhibition were chosen because they are prime examples of four ways posters engage with books and literature and they are arranged in four sections to reflect this. The sections are called Country Walks, Children's Book Illustrators, Poems and Prose and Today's Commute – Read all about it. Posters from the Country Walks series were chosen because they are an example of a London Transport publication. A section about children's book illustrators was chosen because many poster designers in the collection were also children's book illustrators or come from an illustration or graphic design background. Poems were an important addition to the Poster Parade because the Museum holds a large collection of posters from the Poems on the Underground series. The last section Today's Commute – Read all about it contains posters with literary references from the contemporary poster collection.
Interpretation material was written in accordance with the Museum's editorial guidelines which detail for example, how TfL and its predecessor institutions should be referred to and that written material should provide neutral accounts of historical or political events. The curator writes the introduction panel and labels. The interpretation material is edited by the senior curator and librarian to ensure the guidelines are adhered to and the text is written to the best standard possible. Once the editing process has been completed it is given to the design department for formatting and printing. The labels are printed in NJ TfL Book (16 point) typeface which is the house style and digital version of the Johnston typeface which is used across TfL from signage to publications. This is a clear san-serif font like Helvetica which is favoured by publishers and designers for its clarity which makes it suitable for a museum audience to read.
The Poster Parade can be found on Mezzanine Level 1 of the Museum and is on display from 29 January – 29 April 2016.

Agra-based business-to-business (B2B) marketplace for leather products ShoeKonnect has raised an undisclosed amount in an angel round of funding from Indian Angels Network (IAN), a top company executive told Techcircle.in.
The firm plans to use the capital for technology enhancement, marketing, brand building and team expansion, ShoeKonnect co-founder Siddharth Vij said.
Bizcrum Infotech Pvt. Ltd, which runs ShoeKonnect, was founded in 2014 by three economics graduates from Delhi University—Siddharth Vij, Chaitanya Rathi and Siddharth Rastogi. While Rathi earlier co-founded Beghar.in, Rastogi previously worked as a tax analyst at PwC (formerly PricewaterhouseCoopers). Vij's family runs footwear and apparel manufacturing businesses.
Bizcrum aims to make industry specific B2B mobile platforms. ShoeKonnect is its first product for the footwear market. It brings manufacturers, retailers, component suppliers and buyers to a single platform, using a mobile app.
It follows two business models. It acts as a pseudo marketplace for retailers and manufacturers and enables retailers to procure directly from manufacturers. The startup earns a commission on each transaction and takes care of payment and logistics. It also has an open marketplace, which is a free platform where footwear sellers can post products. It also offers chat and call facilities to help users connect with businesses.
ShoeKonnect connects more than 5,000 footwear businesses on its mobile app and gets requests from Thailand, Pakistan and Bangladesh, among other countries. It claims to get more than 100 product postings daily. It also claims that weekly gross merchandise volume (GMV) is more than Rs 2 Lakh.
"Footwear is not a tech savvy market. Retailers have the habit of paying and buying traditionally. We are trying to change that," said Vij.
Currently available on Android Play Store, the firm will soon be launching an iOS version as well.
India is the second-largest footwear producer globally after China. India's total retail market is worth Rs 33,592 crore and is expected to cross Rs 54,000 crore by 2017.
The company claims that it is supported by various organisations, including Indian Footwear Components Manufacturers Association, Council for Leather Exports and Agra Footwear Manufacturers and Exporters Chamber.
Pragya Singh, associate vice president, retail and consumer products at management consulting firm Technopak, said the B2B market is untapped and there is enough space for online players to come and organise the sector and bring efficiency.
"Whatever is happening in the B2B market is still small. Also, B2B is a low-margin, high-volume game and there is high dependency on credit. At the same time, online gives sellers a wider market to reach out while buyers get a bigger sourcing network. Their success will, however, depend on what more value they are adding so that credibility is established," she said.


As I approach the ripe young age of 32, being that my birthday is in November, I find that it is only natural to ponder where I am at on my journey through this world. When I was younger, where did I see myself in life at this age? I know I didn't expect that I'd be where I am- I was POSITIVE when I was in college that by the time I was 25, I would be married to my hunk of a husband, with two children, one boy and one girl (naturally), living in San Diego, making big money as a pharmaceutical sales rep, and driving my BMW. HA!!!!! What on earth was I thinking?! 7 years post that deadline, I can look to the heavens and say THANK YOU for not letting my life take that fateful turn. I was SO not ready for marriage, much less children at age 25, I absolutely cannot see myself wheeling a briefcase into doctor's offices to sell viagra, and a humble Jeep Wagoneer in Seattle is soooo much more my style than a flashy beemer in San Diego. So, the question begs, what DO I want to do when I grow up? What do I want to be? And am I already too grown up to be asking these questions?
I met a girl the other night. She is an EMT, a server, and a graphic designer. She is close to my age, and as we were talking about our future plans, she told me she still has no idea what she wants to do, and it causes her daily angst as she realizes that time is ticking in terms of her career path destination. But after we went around and around about what it is that we are wanting to achieve and pursue, it started to occur to me…what's the rush? Isn't it all about the journey instead of the destination? Why are we constantly putting so much pressure on ourselves to FIGURE IT OUT, and KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, START PLANNING FOR A CAREER IN HIGH SCHOOL. It took me 6 years to get through college. No, not because I couldn't pass my classes, but because I kept changing my mind about what I wanted my major to be. And is there anything wrong with that? (Except for the tuition; thanks Dad!) But had I not chosen 3 different majors at different times, and postponed graduation and hitting the 'real world', I wouldn't have gotten to live with my best friend Shellee for 2 years in Santa Barbara, or had the opportunity to travel abroad, or to move back in with my parents after things went awry, and eventually live with my older sister right on the beach in Del Mar, learning so many important lessons along the way about what I want from life, and what I want to do during my time on this earth. Have I made mistakes in those years? Absolutely. Have I tried things that I knew were not right for me? One hundred percent. Am I so thankful to have experienced those things and learned from them? Would not change it for the world.
Oh Clint. Well put, my friend. I must say, I personally would spend every yesterday exactly as I have, because, well, all those yesterdays have made me who I am today. But I must say, I could've spent all those yesterdays doing many things differently and forming a much different trajectory than the one I am on. Things could've played out much differently than they have. But for whatever reason, I went left instead of right, and here I am.
How about a picture to stir up deep thoughts?

WHERE IS SAINT PAUL'S SHIPWRECK?
As far as shipwrecks go, the wreck of the apostle Saint Paul falls right up there at the top in both historical and religious significance. Though not the first shipwreck Paul was involved with, the last one is what most of are familiar with and which is addressed here. Newer versions of the Bible say Malta is where Paul's ship wrecked, and that's what I was led to believe. I'd never given it much more thought until I ran across some 1830's copies of the Naval Chronicles. A couple of issues had a number of articles, both pro and con, giving an entirely different island location as to where St. Paul shipwrecked.
I soon did a google search and found numerous on-line articles on the subject, along with links to a number of books written about the event. After reading through many of these, I still have no idea where it could have wrecked, but put this short article together as simply a starting point for anyone wanting to research this further.
The only known account of the wreck that I'm aware of is in the Bible's New Testament book, the Acts of the Apostles. The Evangelist St. Luke who had accompanied Paul, though not as a prisoner, related the events of the shipwreck in Chapter 27, and its aftermath in Chapter 28. Most say around the year AD 60 as when the Apostle Paul, along with other prisoners, was being taken to Rome to be tried as a rebel. He was under the guard of some Roman soldiers commanded by a Centurian named Julius. It appears that Julius befriended Paul during their voyage and was the one who prevented the prisoners, including Paul, from being killed by the soldiers after they shipwrecked.
A brief outline of the journey was such: Originally departing the port of Caesarea on a merchant ship, the first part of the journey was uneventful until they reached the city of Myra, where they transferred to a large grain ship from Alexandria to complete the trip to Italy. Soon after that, the winds became non-cooperative, and they lay off a place called Fair Havens by Lasea, on the south coast of Crete. Winter was approaching, and as this area did not provide great harborage during the winter months, the ship's captain wanted to sail to Phenice (spelled Phoenix in newer versions) on the SW end of Crete, where they could winter there in a much better harbor. Paul warned Julius that they should remain where they were, but the captain persuaded Julius they should try and make Phenice while the weather still allowed. The Centuriun Julius actually had the final say, and likely believing the captain had much more seafaring experience than Paul, he agreed with the captain and they soon departed for Phenice. Almost immediately they were met with a strong wind, which their ship was now in the middle of. Luke calls this wind a "Euroclydian." It allowed no headway and they let "her drive," which soon had brought them under the island of Clauda, which lay south of Crete below Phenice. The crew lightened the ship on the second day, and on the third they "cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship." More days passed as they drifted at the mercy of the winds, and though many felt despair, Paul comforted them saying they would all be saved though the ship would not. He said that they would soon be "cast upon a certain island." On the 14th night, "as they were driven up and down the Adria, about midnight the seamen deemed they drew near to some country." They immediately sounded the bottom and found it to be in twenty fathoms, another sounding soon after had them in 15 fathoms, and they threw four anchors off the stern to prevent them from grounding. As morning approached, they either took up the anchors or left them in the sea and made for land. The ship eventually grounded I presume much closer to shore. There were 276 men on board when it wrecked, and all made it safely to shore by either swimming or floating ashore on wreckage.
The 1830's articles say the island where they wrecked was called "Melita." I looked at my 100+ year old family bible and confirmed my older version of the Bible did give the name of the island as "Melita," and not Malta, which is the name given in my more modern Bible. It's true that Malta was called Melita in the past, but so was another island. The other is the island of Mljet, off the coast of Croatia in the Adriatic, spelled Melita (Latin) and also Meleda (Italian) years ago. Both islands are associated with the wreck of St. Paul. There's a rock off Mljet called "St. Paul's Rock," and Malta has a bay on the NE coast called St. Paul's Bay, and where most have associated where Paul indeed wrecked. More recently a group has said evidence points to St Thomas Bay on the SE coast of Malta, and not St. Paul's Bay. Salina Bay off Malta is another site some believe is where the wreck lies. In 2005 a lead anchor stock with Egyptian inscriptions was recovered there, and Paul was shipwrecked on an Egyptian grain ship. Though other islands have also been named, Malta and Mljet appear the two most likely.
The wind called "Eroclydon" that Luke mentions, is the basis for many who have researched the event to say either Malta, or Mljet as where the wreck must be, and there are a number of different views on what this wind was (NE wind, SE, etc. ) and where the winds would have taken the ship, St. Paul's Bay being one. Back in 1730, a Benedictine monk named Ignacio Giorgi from Mljet, wrote a dissertation in Venice that Miljet was where Paul shipwrecked. In 1767, the well-known scholar Jacob Bryan, wrote two dissertations concluding Mljet as where they wrecked, having never read Giorgi's dissertation, but coming to the same conclusion. Both these scholars based much of their theory on which direction they believed the Euro-Clydon blew. Though rare, hurricanes have been known to occur in the Mediterranean (called medicanes), though never really stronger than a Category 1 type storm. Did Paul's ship get caught in one of these? A hurricane's winds could blow a ship in many different directions.
Here are a just a few more "clues" many researchers used to validate their theories. Chapter 27:27 says: "But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down the Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country." That it says they were in the "Adria," points to the Adriatic where Mljet lay, though there's much speculation as to what the bodies of water throughout the Mediterranean were all named 2,000 years ago.
Chapter 27:28-29 goes on to say they took soundings and found themselves in 20 fathoms and again in 15 fathoms, and they then let out four anchors off the stern to prevent from going aground. Chapter 27:39 says: "And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship" (some areas do have similar landmarks but who knows how the landscape may have changed in 2,000 years). Chapter 27:40 says: "And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea" (my old bible and an even earlier one say the same thing, though the old family bible has a footnote after that last quote which states ("Or, cut the anchors, they left them in the sea.") My newer bible relates this a bit differently saying "So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea." Many believe they did leave the anchors, but maybe they did "take them up?" A few years ago, reports that the actual location had been located due to four anchor stocks (lead stocks) being found in 90' of water in St. Thomas Bay, Malta. The anchors were of the type of that period, and that the biblical account states that four anchors were put out before it wrecked in 90' of water (the 15 meters mentioned in the Bible) led credence to these claims. The anchors had actually been found years before by two teenage fishermen, though two were melted down for diving weights, another was lost, and the fourth was the only one still available to document, so no way to verify if true, and these type anchor stocks have been found throughout the Mediterranean.
In chapter 28, it referred to the inhabitants of the island on which they wrecked as "barbarians." Another important clue is that Paul was said to have been bitten by a viper soon after landing on shore but survived with no sign of any trauma, which the inhabitants took as a sign that Paul was no ordinary person, plus the fact that he healed a number of the sick there including the father of the local leader. Malta does not have any venomous snakes, but Mljet was known to have many. That the populace on the island were referred to as barbarians, which would likely not be what the Greek/Roman populace on Malta at the time would be called, but more likely would of the Illyrians living at that time on Mljet is another point to be considered. After three months on the island, they then took passage on a ship of Alexandria that had wintered there and made their way to Syracuse. It seems much more plausible that they would sail to Syracuse from Malta than from Mljet, though maybe that's where the ship they took passage on was headed for anyway. Only time will tell if this mystery ever gets solved!
Here's a few of the many websites giving credence to Malta or Mljet as to where the shipwreck may lie.

Photography: Thoughts on Digital Technology
by Sandra Hildreth
I have been traveling for most of the summer and fall, hiking and painting in Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks and visiting family in Atlanta, so have not written much for the Almanack. I have literally taken thousands of digital photographs. Dealing with all those photos has prompted me to think about how our use of images and technology is evolving.
First, all of us with digital cameras have learned that we can now take unlimited numbers of photos. Up close, far away, every possible angle, multiple views – only then we end up with huge numbers of images, like I did, and it becomes an immense task to do something with them. » Continue Reading.

Commentary: Lawrence Gooley On Google Books
by Lawrence P. Gooley
Remember Napster and the legal cases against individuals who used it to obtain copies of songs without paying for them? Citizens were pursued relentlessly by huge companies and eventually made an example of in court, getting hit by fines in the thousands of dollars. I'm not defending what those individuals did, but when the shoe is on the other foot, it's an entirely different story. A large company has been brazenly stealing from thousands of citizens, and they may well get away with it.
In this case, instead of music, it's books, and instead of citizens, it's a gigantic company, Google, that has completely ignored longstanding law and violated the rights of thousands. On their own, they redefined US copyright law in order to suit their business plan, copying millions of books without bothering to seek authors' permission.

Program Focusing Rockwell Kent's Art, Life
The SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry's (ESF) Adirondack Interpretive Center will celebrate the work of Adirondack artist Rockwell Kent with a daylong event on October 20, 2012.
Caroline Welsh, director emeritus of the Adirondack Museum, will present a program on Kent's artistic legacy, including many images of his work.

John Brown Portrait Unveiling Set For History Event
John Brown Lives! and North Country Community College have announced that Maine artist Robert Shetterly will be present for the unveiling of his portrait of abolitionist John Brown during Freedom Now, Freedom Then: The Long History of Emancipation, a two-day program designed for students, educators and the general public on November 30-December 1, 2012. The events will take place in Saranac Lake and Lake Placid, New York.
Brown is one of the newest additions to the Americans Who Tell the Truth project that Shetterly began 10 years ago using portraits of contemporary and historical figures and their own words to offer a "link between a community of people who struggled for justice in our past and a community of people who are doing it now."
With this portrait, Brown joins Shetterly's pantheon of more than 180 Truth Tellers that includes Abraham Lincoln, Sojourner Truth and Mark Twain from the nation's past, and Bill McKibben, James Baldwin, Michelle Alexander, and Jonathan Kozol who are addressing some of humanity's gravest concerns today. » Continue Reading.
Remembering Warrensburg's Movie House
by Anthony F. Hall
"The movie theater and the church often existed side by side in a small town," the late novelist John Updike once remarked in an interview. "The old Hollywood movies were very pious. Sins were punished in exact proportion to their seriousness. In many ways, the movies carried religious weight."
Updike grew up in the 1940s, and by the 1960s, when I was growing up in Warrensburg, the movies may have played a smaller role in shaping moral habits, but they did help fire one's own imagination, and, for that matter, the collective imagination. » Continue Reading.
Adirondack Philosophy: Coaxing the Muse
by Marianne Patinelli-Dubay
Over the past few months I've been considering what it means to be subjects in and subject to place. I've wondered if this condition of inter-subjectivity is responsible for whether and how our surroundings influence who we are and what we create.
On the one hand, influence is explicit when we make representative art as in landscape painting or poetry and prose whose subject is Emerson's lake water whipped » Continue Reading.
Ethel Dale's 'Most Perfectly Formed Legs'
It's not often that a person is the focus of a sculptor's attention. In the mid-1920s, a North Country woman found herself in just that position. The sculptor's name was Pompeo Coppini, a noted artist who won several awards and whose works were featured from coast to coast. Many of his 128 principal creations are prominent in the state of Texas, including The Spirit of Sacrifice, the large monument at the Alamo, honoring those who died within the fort's walls. It has been viewed by millions.
Coppini sculpted many historical figures of great accomplishment, including Robert E. Lee, Woodrow Wilson, Stonewall Jackson, Sam Houston, and George Washington. Add to that list Mrs. Ethel Dale, chosen as a sculpture subject for her great achievement in the field of … well, doing nothing.
Mrs. Dale's family was living in Ticonderoga when she was born in 1895 as Cecille Dukett, daughter of Clayton and Lena Dukett. (The spelling of the family name in the media varied: most common were Ducat and Dukett.) A few years later, they moved to Crown Point. » Continue Reading.
Family Activities: Northern Adk Artists Studio Tour
As a parent I honor the art projects my children bring home from school. My kids take time to make special cards and spend hours sketching and drawing the world around them. Do I think they will become professional artists? I have no idea. My main goal is for them to be happy. The rest is up to them.
While I try to support any and all artistic endeavors, one annual event I encourage families to attend is the Northern Adirondack Artist At Work Studio Tour. » Continue Reading.
Adirondack Center for Writing Moves to Saranac Lake
This month the Adirondack Center for Writing (ACW) moved to Main Street in downtown Saranac Lake. ACW's new office is above the Artist Guild with a doorway in the parking lot bordering Nori's Village Market.
ACW had been housed at Paul Smith's College, for the past thirteen years. ACW still plans to work with Paul Smith's to bring a major author every year and also plans to continue to work with Paul Smith's staff to bring in performance poets every year. This year that event will be held November 15th. » Continue Reading.
The Adirondacks: A Place to Dream
Sept 7 – 9 there will be a congregation of artists, scholars, historians, and writers in Lake Placid for an exploration of Adirondack cultural heritage (more info). Free and open to the public, it should prove to be enjoyable and informative to all who love this place. I was thinking about this event as I paddled with a group of friends on the Oswegatchie River, in the Five Ponds Wilderness. Our objective was High Rock – not a terribly difficult or long paddle, although it was challenging in places because the water levels were pretty low and rocks were exposed. Having recently returned from almost four weeks in Glacier National Park – where the "big sky" glacier carved landscapes are truly magnificent – I couldn't get over the fact that I was still moved by the scenery flowing past me along the Oswegatchie.
Orange brown rocks just beneath the surface, covered with colorful paint swatches from all the boats that have scraped across them for more than a century. Massive white pines that probably were too scrawny to harvest during the logging booms of the 1900's, were now towering over the river. The tag alder filled flood plain that this wild river was meandering through. The Five Ponds Wilderness is a prime example of how this amazing place can inspire. » Continue Reading.

He has performed across the States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. » Continue Reading.
Adirondack Family Activities: Rustic Riders at St Williams
My family has never gone to St. William's on Long Point. I am aware of its special programming and always think that I have a full summer to attend just one of the free Thursday events. As we travel around hiking, swimming and eating our way through the Adirondack Park, suddenly the end of the summer looms and only one more special event is scheduled to take place on Long Point.
I get an e-mail reminder from Lisa Meissner of the acoustic group, Rustic Riders. Lisa and her husband Klauss will be performing at St. Williams on Long Point in Raquette Lake on August 23, 7:00 p.m. » Continue Reading.
A Publisher's Perspective On e-Books and Local Writers
History and storytelling are important to all of us on a number of levels, whether as learning tools, sources of entertainment, or that wonderful, satisfying, nostalgic feeling we get from reawakened memories. All three came into play recently in regional book events held at North Creek, Inlet, and Long Lake. Anywhere from 20 to 60 authors gathered to discuss their work, sign and sell books, and share stories with attendees and other authors.
If you visited any of these―"Rhythm & Rhymes at the Hudson" at the Hudson River Trading Company in North Creek, the Author's Fair at Adirondack Reader (in Inlet), or the 28th annual "Author's Night" at Hoss's in Long Lake―you saw a range of writers spanning the gamut of North Country literature. » Continue Reading.

My passion is to take away the obstacles to studying for all college students and these free tools offer opportunities for struggling learners that promote academic success. A lot has been said about how technology has made the lives of people significantly simpler and extra handy, and understandably so. It's exhausting to think about a world the place technological breakthroughs and developments are nil. Neurofluocyte Technology is just one of only a few causes for why technology will help humanity (Our"). High school college students work on artistic initiatives that assist storytelling, while studying about technology and engineering ideas.
I believe although that it's not technology that is the drawback, it's the human thoughts. The teachers can load the ability factors on a projector in their classroom for the students to view. A blended classroom, because the identify suggests, incorporates technology into a conventional setting.
The development of technology could draw upon many fields of information, together with scientific, engineering, mathematical , linguistic , and historical data, to attain some practical end result. I'm completely happy to announce that I'm working for NUITEQ as a Okay-12 Technology Specialist. Music technology professors Rob Harari and Carlos Alomar create experimental music with college students in Stevens' music technology lab. It was funded by 10 million dollar award from the US Authorities to try to encourage curiosity in science and math training.
You possibly can watch the video below demonstrating how MVS technology and Google Goggles works. Another drawback with digital reality is time: it takes a protracted period of time to develop a digital setting which may not be good news for any business enterprise wishing to speculate in this technology. This potential may be harnessed and channelized by constructive use of this technology.


London: The England squad for next months FIFA U-17 football World Cup was announced by head coach Steve Cooper on Tuesday.
A 21-man group will make the trip to India for the competition starting on 6 October, where they will face Mexico, Chile and Iraq in the first round of Group F.
All matches will be played at the revamped Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata which will also host the final on 28 October.
Cooper was able to call upon most of the players who helped England to qualify for the World Cup, after reaching the final of the U-17 European Championship last season.
The squad enjoyed two warm-up games in September, drawing with Brazil in Shrewsbury before suffering a 1-2 defeat against South Africa in Leek.
Added to that group is Jadon Sancho, who missed the September get together whilst completing a switch from Manchester City to Borussia Dortmund.
There is also a first England call-up for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher, who has impressed with his form at Stamford Bridge for their U18s.
The Young Lions enjoyed a strong campaign last time around, reaching the Euro Finals in Croatia with distinction before suffering their first defeat of the season after a penalty shootout in the final against Spain.
They will travel to India this week for a pre-World Cup training camp in Mumbai, where they will play a warm-up game against New Zealand on Sunday, 1 October.
After that, they will transfer to their base for the group stages in Kolkata where they open their World Cup campaign against Chile on 8 October.
Their second game will see them up against Mexico three days later before their final group game with Iraq on 14 October.
Ironically, England's previous two U-17 World Cup expeditions were hosted by two of their group opponents, Chile and Mexico.
The Young Lions travelled to Chile for the 2015 edition of the competition, when Cooper was on the coaching staff as Neil Dewsnip's assistant. Unfortunately, after beating the host nation in a pre-tournament friendly in Santiago, a squad featuring the likes of Everton's Tom Davies and Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold went out after the group stage.
Prior to that, England's 2011 campaign saw John Peacock's side reached the quarter-final in Mexico. That squad contained players such as Jordan Pickford, Nathaniel Chalobah, Nathan Redmond and Raheem Sterling.

.Real Estate Roundup: Long & Foster Opening New Office for Luxury Listings
Real Estate Roundup: Long & Foster Opening New Office for Luxury Listings
Also: Home sales up in Montgomery County; contemporary Potomac home hits market for $1.8 million
By Aaron Kraut
Rendering of the Long & Foster and Christie's office planned for Woodmont Avenue in Bethesda
Long & Foster
Long & Foster and Christie's International Real Estate are opening a new office in a downtown Bethesda luxury condominium building that will display their luxury home listings.
The two companies are renting a roughly 3,000-square-foot ground-floor space on the Woodmont Avenue side of The Darcy, the condominium building that opened last year with units ranging in price from $340,000 to $1.4 million.
Dottie Crago, vice president at Long & Foster Cos., said the companies hope to open the office in December. It will be home to the companies' luxury property agents, such as the Heller Coley Reed group. It will also function as an art auction house.
"It's an upscale kind of marketing venue, not just for luxury homes but for high-end art, which plays nicely into the real estate piece," Crago said.
Long & Foster will maintain its existing downtown Bethesda offices at the Garden Plaza building on Old Georgetown Road.
Home Sales in County Hit Highest Monthly Total Since August 2005
According to real estate data companies RealEstate Business Intelligence and ShowingTime, 1,532 home sales closed in June in Montgomery County.
The number represents a 10 percent increase when compared to the total number of homes sold in June 2015 and is the highest monthly total recorded in the county since August 2005. The 3,051 active listings at the end of June were 382 fewer than at the end of June 2015, according to the report.
Half of the homes sold in June were on the market for 17 days or less, similar to June 2015's numbers. The $435,000 median home sale price in June was 2.4 percent higher than the June 2015 median price of $425,000 and the highest June median price since 2008, when 955 homes were sold in the county for a median price of $450,000.
Via ShowingTime
The average sales price in June of $546,394 was 3.3 percent higher than the June 2015 average of $529,011.
There was a 2.7 percent dip in June sales of townhomes in the county when compared to sales numbers for June 2015, while there were increases of 2 percent in sales of single-family detached homes and 4.9 percent for condos.
Contemporary Potomac Home with 2-Acre Wooded Lot Gets Relisted
Via MRIS
This 6,450-square-foot home on the edge of Potomac near Bethesda's Congressional Country Club was relisted this week at a price of $1,799,000 and features a wooded area and garden that spans 2 acres at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac.
Robert Jenets, an agent with Stuart & Maury Inc., has the listing of 9309 Inglewood Court. Jenets said Thursday one of the home's current owners is an art appraiser, which prompted renovations to highlight a significant contemporary art collection.
"One of the very unique additions to the house is a huge family room with a half-barrel ceiling that's very dramatic," Jenets said.
Jenets said the home's proximity to River Road and the country club makes it "function sort of like a Bethesda home," rather than a home in Potomac that's farther from the Beltway.
The home has four bedrooms and four bathrooms on a sloped site that allows for an exposed first level with access to the backyard. It offers a gym, spa, home office and media room, plus a master suite with two walk-in closets and a bathroom outfitted with limestone.

Wesley Seminary Graduates its First Master of Divinity Students
Fourteen students are the first graduates of Wesley Seminary at Indiana Wesleyan University to have earned a Master of Divinity degree. Their August 11 graduation marks a milestone achieved for the Seminary that opened in 2009.
"This was truly a group of pace-setters...not only because they were first, but because they pioneered a truly unique MDIV integrating the disciplines (Bible, theology and history) with ministry practice and completing a spiritual formation emphasis throughout the program, all while serving in their ministry contexts," said Dr. Wayne Schmidt, Wesley Seminary Vice President.
In all, the August commencement celebrated the achievements of 1393 students who had earned associate, bachelor's, and master's degrees. Twenty-nine of those studnets graduated with Master of Divinity and Master of Arts degrees from Wesley Seminary.
The MDiv graduates are: Aaron Vaughn Gross, Dustin Lawrence Jones, Eric M. Key, Joel Christopher Liechty, Joshua S. Bowlin, Bart Andrew Hall, Tyler Hettich, Marc Lehman Kelley, Ian Edward Nacy, Justin J. Nierer, David Wayne Norman, Jessica L. Schmerse, Timothy E. Stradling and Paul Vincent Tillman.
"The great thing for me," said Dr. Ken Schenck, Wesley Seminary Dean, "was that the graduation of these students didn't fell like an ending. It felt like our fellowship and relationship had just moved to the next level and was more vibrant than ever."
Governor Sam Brownback of Kansas provided the commencement address. The title of Gov. Brownback's address was "Liberty, Responsibility: Keys to America's Future."
Brownback advised graduates to pursue their dreams not only for themselves, but for those whom they will serve by accomplishing the calling that God has put into their heart.
"If you don't become a teacher, if you don't become a minister, if you don't become a doctor or nurse, somebody else gets hurt...they don't get the service of what you give. The reason you follow a dream is for somebody else. That's the way a good dream is," Brownback said.

A fascinating exposé of Florida's sugar cane industry guest worker program Winner of the Grand Jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival, H-2 WORKER reveals the systematic exploitation of Caribbean laborers by the Florida sugar industry from World War II through the 1990s. Each year more than 10,000 foreign workers were granted temporary guest worker ("H-2") visas to spend six brutal months cutting sugar cane near Lake Okeechobee. They were housed in overcrowded barracks, denied adequate treatment for frequent on-the-job injuries, and paid less than minimum wage. Faced with deportation and soaring unemployment in their home countries, workers had little recourse but to silently accept these deplorable conditions.

CLEVELAND — Corey Kluber allowed three hits and struck out 12 in eight innings to help the Cleveland Indians beat the Texas Rangers 5-1 on Thursday.
Kluber (7-2) tied a franchise record held by Bob Feller with four consecutive games with double-digit strikeouts. Feller struck out 10 or more batters in his last three starts in 1938 and his first start in 1939.
It's the 30th time that Kluber has reached double figures in strikeouts in his career.
Pinch-hitter Lonnie Chisenhall had a two-run double in Cleveland's three-run sixth inning. Francisco Lindor and Edwin Encarnacion also had RBIs for the Indians, who won six of seven over the Rangers this season.
Andrew Cashner (3-7) was struck on the right elbow by a broken bat in the sixth inning and was removed a batter later. He was making his first start since June 14 after being on the disabled list with a strained left oblique.
Kluber was in command other than Nomar Mazara's two-out homer in the first. Rougned Odor had a leadoff single in the second and Adrian Beltre singled with one out in the seventh.
The right-hander, who walked one, is 4-0 record with 1.26 ERA with 64 strikeouts in 43 innings since coming off the disabled list on June 1. He was out for month with a strained lower back.
Cashner was hit when Encarnacion broke his bat hitting an RBI single in the sixth inning. Cashner didn't appear to see the bat, which hit him directly on his arm.
He went down on his knees behind the mound and held the elbow as manager Jeff Banister and a team trainer came out. He threw a warmup pitch and remained in the game. Cashner was removed after Jose Ramirez's single.
The Rangers said Cashner has a contusion and is getting X-rays.
Rangers: LHP Martin Perez (broken right thumb) continues to throw pitches every day, but has yet to play catch because his thumb cannot fit in a standard glove. He has been on the 10-day disabled list since June 24.
Indians: OF Austin Jackson (strained left quad) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment in a couple of weeks. He was injured running the bases Sunday.
Rangers: RHP Austin Bibens-Dirkx opens a three-game series against the White Sox in Chicago. The 32-year-old rookie has won two straight starts on the road.
Indians: RHP Josh Tomlin begins a four-game series in Detroit. He was tagged with his team-high ninth loss on June 25 against Minnesota, allowing four runs in 5 2/3 innings.

NHS Scotland will be changing the National Pregnancy Screening Programme from September 28 September, following a recommendation from the UK National Screening Committee.
As a result expectant mothers will be offered testing for Edwards syndrome and Patau's syndrome as well as the current testing for Down's syndrome.

All three conditions are chromosome-related and can be detected early in pregnancy and from this month, all Scots mothers will be offered:
* testing for Edwards' syndrome (T18) and Patau's syndrome (T13) as an additional option within the existing first-line blood screening test for Down's syndrome (T21) which will happen during a woman's first trimester of pregnancy.
What are Edwards syndrome and Patau's syndrome?
Edwards syndrome
This occurs when a baby has three copies of chromosome 18, rather than two.
It is a very serious, but rare condition.
Sadly, most babies with Edwards' syndrome will die before or shortly after being born.
A small number (about 13 in 100) babies born alive with Edwards' syndrome will live past their first birthday.
Full Edwards' syndrome
Most babies with Edwards' syndrome have an extra chromosome 18 present in all cells. This is called full Edwards' syndrome and the effects are often more severe with most babies dying before they are even born.
Mosaic Edwards' syndrome
A small number of babies with Edwards' syndrome (about 1 in 20) have an extra chromosome 18 in just some cells. This is called mosaic Edwards' syndrome (or sometimes mosaic trisomy 18).
This can lead to milder effects of the condition, depending on the number and type of cells that have the extra chromosome. Most babies with this type of Edward's syndrome who are born alive will live for at least a year, and they may even live to adulthood.
Patau's syndrome
Also known as Trisomy 13 (T13) Patau's syndrome is again, serious but rate and occurs when there is an extra copy of chromosome 13 in some or all of the body's cells.
This severely disrupts normal development and, in many cases, results in miscarriage, stillbirth or the baby dying shortly after birth.
It affects about one in every 5,000 births. The risk of having a baby with the syndrome increases with the mother's age.
Babies with Patau's syndrome can have a wide range of health problems.
Their growth in the womb is often restricted, resulting in a low birth weight, and eight out of 10 will be born with severe heart defects.
The brain often does not divide into 2 halves. This is known as holoprosencephaly.

*Screening programmes for Down's syndrome, Edwards' syndrome and Patau's syndrome will also be expanded to include twin pregnancies.
Will the tests will be made available to all expectant mothers, they are not obliged to take them.

Q: Xamarin Forms IsVisible false taking up space I have a list view with a template switcher, and a on a particular item I want it to be hidden so I've used a hidden template. I set the view (or the StackLayout) to be isVisible=false and the HeightRequest=0 so that it should not take up space and should not be visible. However as you can see in the picture, it is still taking up an empty space.
In the image below, there are 2 hidden messages. The one before the "This is a Bot Hero Card Message!" and the one after it.
How do you do this to make it not take up space?

Based on John Butterfield's groundbreaking D-Day at Omaha Beach system, this solitaire game presents the critical days of fighting at platoon and company scale. You command the invading American forces against dug-in Japanese defenders, which are controlled by the game system. Tarawa covers the landings on Betio Island in November 1943, and the operations of the US 2nd Marine and 27th Infantry Divisions to clear it -- the first heavily contested landing of the Pacific War. The battle for the tiny Island raged for four days and, when it was finally over, fewer than 200 of the 5,000 Japanese defenders remained alive. One map, two counter-sheets and 55 cards.

Michael Enright has a solution for the toilet paper shortage.
(2021) Documentary (Curiosity Stream) Michael Enright, Mace Gifford, Anthony Delgatto, Bill Park, David Malet, Clay Lawton, Manuel Roig-Franzia, Anne Speckhard, Jason Fritz, Rojda Fielat, Arie Kruglanski, Jordan Matson, Joseph Camby, Keith Caraway, Nuri Mahmood, Jim Dornan, Joanna Palani. Directed by Adam R. Wood
Michael Enright is an actor. He was born with what the Irish like to call "the gift of gab." He came to America in the late 1980s to pursue a career as an actor, and being a handsome and rugged sort, got some roles in movies and TV shows starting out as an extra and working his way up to things like Pirates of the Caribbeanand Agents of SHIELD.
Like many others, he was greatly disturbed by the events of 9/11 and felt he needed to do something and actually called a military recruiter to see about volunteering, but his call was never returned and he decided not to pursue it. However, it stuck in his craw a little bit and when he saw footage of what ISIS was doing in Syria to the Kurds, he felt that he could no longer idly stand by. He volunteered to join the Kurdish militia, the People's Protection Unit (or YPG).
This is where the story gets a little murky. Enright claims he served on the front lines of the fight against ISIS and participated in the victorious assault on Reqqa, which had been the capital of the caliphate until the Kurds went after them. That account is disputed by Jordan Matson, who made several accusations that Enright was a publicity-seeking dilettante looking to further his own career, was distrusted and perhaps hated by the Kurds who had removed the firing pin from his weapons because they were concerned that he might accidentally shoot their own troops in the back. That account was largely picked up by the American press, seeing as Matson was in many ways the American face on the Kurdish militia. Handsome and military-trained, Matson had also, like Enright, volunteered to fight ISIS when it became clear that the American government would not place troops in harms way, preferring to use surgical drone strikes, diplomatic pressure and military aid to the Kurds to fight this particular foe.
But Washington Post reporter Manuel Roig-Franzia investigated the claims of both men and found that Enright was actually telling the truth and that Matson, for his own reasons, was telling falsehoods (Matson was apparently approached to comment for the film but declined). Enright was, in fact, considered a valued asset to the Kurds, who had requested that Enright film his experiences in Syria with a GoPro camera that the YPG provided him. Much of the documentary's footage was shot by Enright.
Enright is an engaging storyteller; although he is British by birth (he is originally from Manchester) there is an almost Irish flavor to him, given his storytelling ability and his general outgoing nature. He seems to be generally honest, and that is borne out by the reporter's testimony, as well as testimony given on-camera by officials of the YPG.
One thing Roig-Franzia was unable to verify is crucial. You see, Enright had entered the United States on a tourist visa and had never bothered to get a green card. When he left to fight ISIS, even with the best of intentions – he felt he owed a debt to the United States for his success and he wanted to pay it back – when he tried to return, he was detained at the border. While in detention, he claims that he was approached by a CIA agent identified only as "the blonde," and given a deal – in exchange for actionable intelligence that he delivered from Syria, his immigration issues would go away and he would be given that precious Green Card. THAT'S the part that nobody has been able to confirm.
So when the fighting ended, Enright was denied re-entry into the United States. He also is unable to return to Britain and currently lives in Belize where he has been petitioning the U.S. government to allow him to return. To this date, those petitions have been denied.
The film is a bit of a strange one, but then again, the story is a bit of a strange one. Enright is certainly a compelling personality and it's difficult not to like him. The filmmakers certainly do; while the movie doesn't whitewash his character, they don't go fully into detailing why he can't return to Britain, why he didn't apply for a green card when he began to achieve success as an actor, and what he is doing in Belize.
This is the first original documentary feature to be produced by the nonfiction streaming service Curiosity Stream and it's not a bad first effort. Personally, I would have appreciated a little more effort to tell a balanced story, but that isn't a requirement for most documentaries. Nevertheless, the story is a compelling one and it might stimulate you into finding out more about him, which is a "mission accomplished" for any documentary. For now, the movie is only available to stream on Curiosity Stream but may become available for purchase on other VOD platforms at some later date in the future.
REASONS TO SEE: Enright is an engaging storyteller.
REASONS TO AVOID: A little bit on the hagiographic side.
FAMILY VALUES: There is much profanity, war violence and some disturbing images.
TRIVIAL PURSUITS: "Heval" is the Kurdish word for "friend" or "comrade."

Police detained a man Thursday morning seen a half-mile north of Almeria Middle School in Fontana wearing military-style clothing and reported to be pointing a gun, or a replica of one, at passing cars, authorities said.
Fontana police did not find a gun and do not believe the school was a target of any threat. "The children of Almeria Middle School were at no time in any danger, and we do not believe the school was a target of any type of threat from the subject," the department said in a statement.
Officers said they arrived within three minutes of the 7:28 a.m. call at Almeria and Baseline avenues. The man was placed on a mental-health hold. School district officers were assigned to the Almeria campus for the rest of Thursday "out of an abundance of caution," the district said in a statement.

'Nothing can compare to this time culturally': Paul Dorrell on 30 years of Leopold Gallery
Susie Whitfield
Paul Dorrell, owner of Brookside's Leopold Gallery, isn't done raising hell yet.
His gallery is celebrating its thirty-year anniversary on the Kansas City art scene this Friday, October 8 from 6 pm-9 pm.
Dorrell remembers that in the late '80s, Kansas City considered itself a cultural backwater. Now, the art scene is highly regarded on both coasts.
"Nothing can compare to this time culturally," Dorrell says. "Kansas City's greatest strength is its visual arts."
After he graduated from KU, Dorrell didn't settle down quickly: "I wandered the world for ten years—worked on a fishing boat in Alaska, on a horse ranch in California."
Dorrell eventually became the assistant director in a museum of French Impressionism in Connecticut, which had a profound influence on him. When he returned to Kansas City, he wanted to represent Kansas and Missouri artists on a national level.
After opening a gallery space at the Hotel Savoy, he realized how few galleries turned a profit and how often they failed. Dorrell began to approach corporations, encouraging them to embark on a cultural crusade to support regional artists.
Fortunately, Henry Bloch, the University of Kansas Medical Center, the Kauffman Center, St. Luke's and the Hunt family also wanted to keep local artists in Kansas City.
"When we did H&R Block Building, that became a cultural foundation for visual arts in the Crossroads. That huge collection of local artists' works inspired other galleries to open there and inspired artists to open studios. It began the Kansas City Renaissance."
To support the emergence of Kansas City's young artists, the Leopold Gallery Educational Foundation supports Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. Dorrell has also invested in Sumner Academy and Paseo Academy since 2006.
"I found that both academies' art departments were grossly underfunded—a lack of basic art supplies, functioning laptops, proper cameras, metal for sculptures, oil paint canvases—it was a disgrace. I realized I had to start raising money immediately."
We also asked Dorrell for some of his KC favorites
The West Bottoms
"It's still raw and unrefined. I love all the old railroad lines and bridges. They're almost sculptural."
The River Market
"Saturday mornings having coffee, getting produce from the stalls and flowers for my wife, and then riding bikes along the Missouri River."
"You can feel a different era there. It's almost a dream state. Go out the back door and take the footbridge across the tracks to the Crossroads.

This is the standard recorder given to countless elementary school children. It is also my least favorite voice in the family. Our disdain for the recorder comes from this instrument that is the exact same pitch as the Piccolo Flute. Who wouldn't be annoyed by it? As the top voice in an SATB recorder consort its role is perfect.
