The Syracuse University School of Architecture consistently ranks among the best schools of architecture in the nation. The reasons most often cited are our committed and diverse faculty, our number and variety of study abroad opportunities, and our nationally-accredited, professional degree programs, which provide students the technical skill and the cultural knowledge necessary to practice in an increasingly competitive global marketplace.
Consistent with our commitment to prepare students for a world shaped by globalization, the Syracuse School of Architecture has created the Global Studio program with facilities and full time faculty in Florence, London and New York. In addition, we offer a range of other study abroad options with shorter programs of study in Turkey, Japan, China and India. We are also committed to bringing world-class practitioners and educators to teach and lecture at our home campus in Syracuse. Each semester we organize a visiting lecture series featuring architects and designers from around the world. And, each semester, as part of our Visiting Critic Program, nationally and internationally recognized professors lead studios on our Syracuse campus.
Shaped by globalization and rapid technological transformation, the practice of architecture, over the last decade, has undergone dramatic change, placing the architect, once again, at the center of some of the most defining issues of our time. The School of Architecture at Syracuse University has not only kept pace with these changes, but our faculty, staff, students and alumni have led and continue to lead the effort to make a better world through the design of better buildings and cities. We invite you to visit and to join us.

Program Mission
As a professional-degree-granting college within a research university, the School of Architecture at Syracuse University is dedicated to creating a rich academic environment marked by the confluence of advanced practice, contemporary theory, and social engagement. Our primary goal is to help students develop the capacity and judgment necessary to understand the built environment and generate architecture as a critical response, so that each student can engage both the discipline of architecture and the multiple discourses-artistic, technological, social, political, environmental, economic-necessary to be a successful practitioner and a conscientious citizen. Through our teaching and public programming, we help students gain a deep knowledge of architecture's techniques, traditions, methods of inquiry, and modes of production, so that they emerge with the intellectual breadth and acuity to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world that demands agility and innovation. Through both programming and outreach activities, we aim to engage a wider public audience in a dialogue about the role of architecture in society.
To serve this mission we are committed to the following principal objectives:
Recruiting, enrolling, and retaining the most qualified students.
Recruiting, employing, and retaining the most qualified faculty and staff.
Creating and sustaining a supportive academic environment marked by academic integrity, cultural diversity, and social responsibility.
Providing the best professional education possible by offering professional degree programs that combine expertise specific to the discipline of architecture with critical thinking skills and intellectual knowledge central to humanistic study.
Teaching an integrated curriculum within which courses in design and other specializations support the proposition, exploration, and development of architectural ideas.
Maintaining and enhancing our expertise and capabilities in significant areas of research and practice.
Providing opportunities for students to participate in international study programs to better understand the global forces and local cultural contexts that contribute to the production of architecture and urban design in these settings.
Offering visiting critic studios both on and off campus that provide students with an exposure to alternative perspectives and advanced building practices.
Demonstrating overall competency through a self-directed process of research, documentation, proposition, and project development within the capstone experience of thesis.
Increasing student awareness of and ability to engage with major issues such as social equity, economic development, and ecological balance.
Encouraging faculty and students to participate in interdisciplinary initiatives offered within a diverse and rich campus setting.
Preparing graduates to enter the profession in a variety of ways, with strong basic design skills coupled with the technical ability, business acumen and an understanding of the ethical role of the architect in society.
Supporting faculty achievement in creative activity and scholarly research.
Generating advocacy and support for School initiatives from alumni, faculty, staff, and advisory board members, and among civic and business leaders.
Syracuse Architecture Studio Culture
The primary goals of the School of Architecture at Syracuse University are to promote research into architecture and to educate students for professional practice and other forms of architectural engagement. Faculty instructors challenge students to develop the capacity for understanding the built environment and generating architectural design proposals as a critical response. They assist students in cultivating manifold design capabilities linked to critical intelligence about the discipline and supported by state-of-the-field expertise in representation, technology, structures, theory and history.
A central component of this mission is the cultivation of a learning environment that supports students in the fullest development of their capacities as designers, scholars, professionals, and citizens. To this end, students, faculty and staff are dedicated to the task of working together to foster five fundamental values:
mutual respect among all members of the School;
optimism about the potential for student learning, creativity and contribution;
collaboration among students, faculty, staff and the broader public in pursuing advances in learning, knowledge, and practice;
critical engagement with the discipline, the profession and the world; and
continual innovation in teaching, learning, and research.
These values inform all of our activities. In the context of classrooms, studios, and other learning environments, they translate into these guidelines:
The School encourages students and faculty alike to embrace the design studio and the classroom as places of intellectual and creative exploration and collaboration. The frequently open-ended pursuit of knowledge through design and other forms of learning requires generosity of spirit on all parts, including the recognition that faculty members bring a high level of expertise to their teaching and that students bring a diversity of valuable prior knowledge to their learning. It also requires clear communication, rigorous testing of ideas, and a commitment to excellence on the part of all participants.
The School encourages collaboration among students in their academic work and in extracurricular activities, as well as among students, faculty and staff in continually advancing knowledge and improving the ways we work together. It also promotes a culture of engagement in which students develop intellectually, technically and ethically through interaction with problems, opportunities and people not only within the field of architecture but also beyond it.
The School values social, intellectual and disciplinary diversity in its staff, faculty and student population, as well as in its curriculum. In its teaching, research and daily activities, it strives to support and promote each of these kinds of diversity.
The School recognizes that balance is a crucial element in the pursuit of excellence, and it encourages faculty to guide students in developing the capacity to reconcile what often seem to be competing imperatives in their work and in their lives. This includes managing expectations so as to minimize conflicts among courses, helping students to manage their time effectively, and promoting an appropriate balance between academic work and the other essentials of life.
The School expects students to uphold the principles of academic integrity in their work and ethical conduct in their daily lives. Honesty, trustworthiness and fairness are essential attributes for conduct in class, within the university community, and in academic activities beyond Syracuse. These principles should guide behavior not only in the completion of course assignments, but also in treatment of buildings and equipment; interaction with university staff, systems and procedures; and behavior in the studio and elsewhere.
The School of Architecture M.Arch program is fully-accredited by the National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB).
In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit professional degree programs in architecture offered by institutions with U.S. regional accreditation, recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted an eight-year, three-year, or two-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards.
Doctor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degree programs may require a pre-professional undergraduate degree in architecture for admission. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.
Syracuse University, School of Architecture offers the following NAAB accredited graduate degree program:
M.Arch - (110 credit hours)
For further information about NAAB accreditation, visit the NAAB website.
Master of Science in Architecture degrees are not reviewed or accredited by NAAB.

Founded in 1873, the Syracuse University School of Architecture provides a diverse and intensive approach to the design of the built environment. The program is committed to providing rigorous professional training and, simultaneously, emphasizes the creative and intellectual foundations of the discipline. The integrated curriculum is designed to prepare students to unite design, research, and technical understanding. Architecture is a dynamic profession, and like the society in which it functions, increasingly complex and fluid. The program seeks to respond with skill, intellect, and passion to the challenges and opportunities of contemporary practice.
Students benefit from extensive one-on-one communication with dedicated professors, in both formal reviews and informal interactions. Our faculty members are recognized for their level of commitment to each student's progress and represent a broad range of the profession, from practicing architects, architectural historians, and theorists to professional artists and engineers. For a complete listing of faculty members affiliated with the School of Architecture, see the faculty listings under Master of Architecture programs.
The school hosts lectures, symposia, and exhibitions featuring leading practitioners, critics, and scholars. As part of a major liberal arts university, students in the School of Architecture have access to a wide variety of courses throughout the campus and have the opportunity to broaden their intellectual and creative foundation. Students are encouraged to participate in the cultural and social life across the wide spectrum of offerings on campus and in the city of Syracuse.
The Syracuse Architecture Master of Architecture is a fully accredited professional degree open to students with non-architecture as well as architecture backgrounds. The Syracuse Architecture Master of Science in Architecture degree supports independent, timely, and innovative research projects in the field of architecture and urbanism.
Merit Scholarships and Assistantships
In addition to competitive scholarships for incoming students, the school of architecture is committed to offering merit-based financial assistance to continuing students who maintain satisfactory academic progress through a variety of channels. You can find an overview of our programs here: http://soa.syr.edu/admissions/graduate/financial-aid.php/.
We offer approximately 35 assistantships every semester to continuing graduate students. These positions are available in the areas of teaching or research, depending on the needs of the school and faculty. To qualify for a teaching assistantship in a particular course area, students must have appropriate experience, in the areas of design, architectural history, theory, building technology, drawing, structures, and computing. Students maintaining at least a 3.0 GPA are eligible for assistantship positions annually. Students who are not serving in a TA position are eligible for scholarship assistance each semester. Additionally, we offer hourly research internships, subsidize the cost of travel for required field trips, and offer a number of named scholarships.
For further information about our Graduate programs, visit our website.
The Programs
Students in the Master of Architecture program spend a summer of study in one of our two prestigious off-campus programs: at the New York City Fisher Center, or in our Three Cities: Asia program.
The University's Fisher Center is based at 136 Madison Avenue in Midtown Manhattan and offers opportunity to study in one of the most architecturally rich and culturally vibrant cities in the world. The summer curriculum focuses on the city's history, and morphology, and directly engages the creative challenges of the architect's role in planning, and real estate development. The program draws on NYC-based architecture faculty and critics, and includes guest lecturers, collateral programming, and extensive field studies in and around the city.
Three Cities: Asia
An eight-week, nine-credit program that moves between three major cities on a single continent. While these cities serve as the primary focus points of the program, a rich travel itinerary introduces students to many smaller cities and sights well beyond the realm of the tourist. Three Cities offers students an immersive studio + seminar in urbanism and architecture in three of Asia's most dense, vibrant urban environments. Throughout the eight weeks, the course connects students with renowned professors and practitioners in each city by way of dialogue, reviews, guest lectures, and visits to some of the most ground-breaking firms in Asia.
Short-term/summer off-campus programs
In addition to the regular semester offerings, summer and other 2-5 week off campus opportunities are available. Options vary from year to year and are designed to introduce students to architecture, urban cities and the disciplinary cultures that create them. India, France, Turkey, Greece, Germany, Russia, Spain, Austria, China, South America and Japan have been the subjects of study for such programs in the recent past.
All students wishing to study in our global campus programs must have a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA and be in good judicial standing.
For further information about our off-campus programs and how to apply, contact the Syracuse Architecture Associate Dean's office at (315) 443-3324 or visit our website.
Slocum Hall
Slocum Hall, the School of Architecture's campus home, offers an ideal environment for teaching, research, production, and exhibition. Constructed in 1918 and listed on the National Register of Historical Places, the five-story building underwent a dramatic redesign from 2006-2008 to enhance and restore original qualities while updating it technologically, functionally, and aesthetically. Slocum Hall now includes a vast open central atrium space, an auditorium as well as expanded studio, research, and office space.
The building's openness provides a cohesive setting that generates activity and communication between students, faculty, and visitors, supported by interconnecting vertical spaces or atria within the building. The central atrium and additional openings in the bearing wall allow pathways for natural light and ventilation. Facilities are closely integrated with the school's pedagogical priorities. Public review spaces, an exhibition gallery, the architecture reading room, faculty offices, and the café are located along the perimeter of these atria in order to encourage collaboration and exchange.
Computing and Fabrication
The School of Architecture has two computer clusters containing 60 latest-generation PCs connected to their own network and servers. State of the art software is available for a wide range of applications: 2D and 3D drafting; modeling, visualization, rendering and animation; image manipulation; desktop publishing; web page generation; video production; and GIS.
An output room provides an assortment of plotters, printers, and large and small format scanners available to students throughout the school from school or personal computers.
A digital fabrication suite includes 3D printers using various media (liquid and solid polymers, paper and starch), laser cutters, large and small format CNC mills and a vacuum former.
A fully equipped workshop is staffed by a full-time professional instructor and includes a full suite of woodworking equipment including saws, drills, planers, routers, sanders, a lathe, and various hand tools. There is also a ventilated spray booth for painting and finishing.
Reading Room and Library
Bird Library, the University research library for the humanities and social sciences, has an excellent collection of more than 25,000 architecture titles including back runs of key periodicals. Carnegie Library, at the heart of the main quad, houses resources in landscape architecture and building technology. Syracuse University Libraries also includes significant map resources, rare books and archival holdings. The newly renovated King+King Architecture Library on the third floor of Slocum Hall serves the needs of the School of Architecture and its students for quick access to core monographs, course reserves, current periodicals and unique resources like prints of working drawings and physical materials samples. The general stack collection of more than 3,500 titles includes such commonly used architecture books as history surveys, titles on key figures in architecture, books on building types and detailing, technical sources, and reference standards. The Librarian for Architecture is on site. The King+ King Architecture Library provides a quiet and convenient place to study, and is interconnected with the larger Syracuse University library system.

The farm could open within a year and the hill is likely to take another two years to complete.
The 10-acre patch of land, at the northern tip of the heath, is owned by the Fuel Allotment Charity, recently amalgamated into the Hounslow & Isleworth Charity, and is where parishioners used to dig peat for fuel.
Mr Richards said he hoped to either buy the land outright or rent it from the charity on a long lease.
Visitors to the car boot sale at the site this Sunday will be able to take a closer look at the plans and discuss them with Mr Richards from 7am-1pm.
For more on the proposals, and to have your say, visit: http://hillontheheath.com.
A HUGE hill with a farm and adventure sports facilities could be created on Hounslow Heath as part of plans to transform the long-neglected site.
The man behind the scheme, to be officially launched this Sunday, claims the 'focal point' will make people feel safer on the green, which has been plagued by anti-social behaviour in recent years.
Under the plans, 250,000 tonnes of building rubble would be transported to the site of the old gardening centre, near the main entrance in Staines Road, to create a 20-metre mound.
Visitors would be able to see as far as Canary Wharf and the London Eye to the east and Harrow-on-the-Hill to the north from the top of the hill.
There would be lakes for boating, a 'fractal house' with climbing, rope-walking and biking, and an information centre, educating people about the heath's history, from its use as a Norman hunting ground to its time as a quarry.
The 'Hill on the Heath' project is the brainchild of Quinton Richards, a former barrister and environmental scientist.
"We want people to be able to continue to walk the heath freely but to create a much greater sense of security," he said.
"At the moment, there's no reference point and if you go 150 yards in, it's easy to get lost, so hopefully this will make it easier to find your way around.
"I've been up on a cherry picker and the views are amazing. Families will be free to go up and enjoy a picnic on the hill. They'll only have to pay if they want to use the farm or the sports facilities."
Mr Richards said the scheme is expected to cost about £6-7million and would be funded using a mixture of income from disposing of the building waste and entrance fees for the farm and sports facilities.

Rolynn Anderson does not disappoint. You can expect a lot of tension, engaging but imperfect characters, and great suspense. I was fascinated by the psychology of PTS and high-anxiety. The reader can tell Ms Anderson did a lot of research.
Fear Land by Rolynn Anderson is a slow burn. It builds with steady intrigue and the layers build just as quickly as they're peeled away. Protagonist Tally works with troubled children, but she has a reason for that. She can't hear the psychic messages that most people send from either children or old people. She faces new beginnings in work and living arrangements, only to find both new clients and new threats. Toss in a spark of romance and this book will keep you turning pages!
"Fear Land" is a little hard to follow in the beginning, simply because the reader must digest all of the facts and get a sense of just where this story is headed. Once that is established, it twists and turns and has the reader hanging on for the ride.Read full review in the 2015 November issue of InD'tale Magazine.

Johnson & Johnson, Imerys to Pay $80M in Punitive Damages in NJ Lawsuit
Personal Injury April 17, 2018 By Jacob Maslow
Last week, a jury ruled that Johnson & Johnson should pay $37 million to a New Jersey man, who says exposure to the company's Baby Powder led to the development of mesothelioma.
At the time of the ruling last week, punitive damages had yet to be determined.
The jury in a New Jersey state court has now ruled that Johnson & Johnson and Imerys, the company's talc supplier, must pay $80 million in punitive damages.
A total of $117 million has been awarded in the case.
The case is the first trial loss for J&J over claims that its talc products contain asbestos. A Los Angeles court last year ruled in favor of the company in its first talcum powder-related case.
Johnson & Johnson has been ordered to pay $55 million in punitive damages, while Imerys is responsible for paying the remaining $25 million.
As far as compensatory damages go, the jury found Johnson & Johnson to be 70% liable ($25.9 million) and Imerys to be 30% liable ($11.1 million).
Johnson & Johnson continues to deny claims that its talc-based products ever contained asbestos.
The company claimed during the trial that it conducted extensive testing to ensure its products were free of asbestos. Talcum powder is made from talc, a natural mineral that forms alongside asbestos.
In a statement, Johnson & Johnson said it would immediately begin appealing the verdict. The company said it had been prevented from presenting important evidence to the jury.
Imerys also stated that it would appeal the decision and that they stand behind the safety of their products. "The evidence is clear that (Lanzo's) asbestos exposure came from different sources," Imerys said.
Johnson & Johnson faces more than 6,600 lawsuits related to its talc powder products. Most of the lawsuits allege that the company failed to warn women about the risk of developing ovarian cancer when using its products for feminine hygiene.

College sued over harassment by Muslim prof
Woman alleges no protection from colleague who brought nephew to U.S. to kill her
Published April 9, 2014 at 7:36pm
(MediaTrackers) Oberlin College professor Eunjung An sued her employer last month, alleging that Oberlin failed to protect her from Ali Yedes, a fellow French Department professor whom An alleges has harassed her and threatened her life.
In a complaint filed March 5 in the Lorain County Court of Common Pleas, An accused Oberlin of allowing a hostile work environment and negligently retaining Yedes as an employee.
According to Prof. An, Prof. Yedes — who also serves as the faculty adviser of Oberlin's Muslim Students Association (MSA) and as a "religious life affiliate" for the Islamic Center of Cleveland (ICC) — has "engaged in a pattern of severe or pervasive unwelcome harassment directed at Plaintiff and other female employees at Oberlin" since January 2006.


Tree removal service professionals assist their clients to remove dead trees from their compounds. Another reason why one may require tree removal is if a tree falls on one's house. Lightning and storms can cause a tree to become a danger especially if it is about to fall and one may need to hire tree removal services to have the tree removed. When carrying out construction, one may have an obstruction of a tree, and one can hire tree removal services to remove the tree.
A client can depend on the skills of the professionals from a tree removal service when they need a tree removed from a compound. Tree removal is not an easy task and it requires special equipment which a tree removal professional will use when they do tree removal. Professionals also take safety precautions when they do tree removal. Homeowners should not attempt to do tree removal because they can injure themselves and it may also lead to death. Due to the precision that is required by professionals of a tree removal service, one can expect quality work.
When a tree falls on a power line, one may need to have it urgently removed, and one can hire emergency services from a tree removal service. One of the things that a tree removal service will look at when one hires them is the height of a tree because this will determine the cost of tree removal. A tree which poses a danger to the workers of a tree removal service will cost more for tree removal than a tree which is at a safe distance away from a hazard. Tree trunk diameter can also determine the price of tree removal services. Other costs that one may consider during tree removal is whether one wants stump grinding.
People who do not want to keep the wood after a tree is cut down can pay a tree removal service to haul away the trunk wood. A tree removal service also offers wood splitting services for people who have hired them to cut down trees. Some clients may want to get branch chipping, and they can be able to get this when they hire a tree removal service. There is an extra cost for stump removal services when one hires a tree removal service to cut down a tree if one chooses to get stump removal.
An estimate can enable one to see how much it will cost to get a tree removed when one needs this service. By getting estimates from a few tree removal services, one can select a tree removal service that is affordable. Clients can benefit from tree removal services who offer their services for twenty-four hours a day.

If you are running DNS server on your system then enter the domain name and name server in dhcpd.conf file for example As i explained in BIND9 DNS CONFIGURATION I have DNS server named nefitari.autun.hom and IP address is 192.168.1.5 like as under
 option domain-name "nefitari.autun.hom";
 option domain-name-server  192.168.1.5;

Now start/restart dhcp server
sudo /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server start

If it gives you error like Ignoring unknown interfaces eth0=eth0 just do it again
 Sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

 *reconfiguring network interfaces      [ok]

Now lease an ip address from dhcp server
 Sudo dhclient

The DHCP server writes all current IP address "leases" to the file /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases so you should also find the lease there:
Sudo nano /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases

To releases the current lease *once the lease has been released, the client exits.
sudo dhclient -r

Now obtain fresh IP:
sudo dhclient


Featherstone have signed Batley back-rower James Harrison for the 2019 season.
Harrison, 22, has made more than 60 Championship appearances and is the son of former Great Britain prop Karl Harrison, who made 114 appearances for Featherstone during his playing days.
He said: "I'm looking forward to the challenge of stepping up to a big club like Featherstone, who play in front of big crowds.
"I'm really just looking forward to getting stuck into preseason now.
"Whenever Featherstone come to Batley their fans make it feel like a home game for them, so I'm really looking forward to playing in front of them every week.
"I've had three good years at Batley, particularly taking on Super League sides in The Qualifiers.
"I learned a lot, especially under John Kear in that first year, but I feel like I'm ready to move on and test myself at a bigger club now.
"Coming from a rugby league family means I've played it all my life, but I've always wanted to make a career off my own back, rather than through my dad's name.
Harrison came through the Bradford academy and had a brief spell on loan at Oxford in 2016.
Featherstone coach John Duffy said: "James is a player who we have been looking at all year.
"He's very capable in the back-row or down the middle and we know he can do big minutes for us.
"He comes from good stock and just wants to progress in his career.
"I'm looking forward to a big preseason from him and him adding value to us.
"He's got a big future ahead of him. Quite a few clubs were after him and we're lucky to have got his signature.


A hybrid silicon-core, silica-clad microspherical resonator has been fabricated from the semiconductor core fiber platform. Linear and nonlinear characterization of the resonator properties have shown it to exhibit advantageous properties associated with both materials, with the low loss cladding supporting high quality (Q) factor whispering gallery modes which can be tuned through the nonlinear response of the crystalline core. By exploiting the large wavelength shift associated with the Kerr nonlinearity, we have demonstrated all-optical modulation of a weak probe on the timescale of the femtosecond pump pulse. This novel geometry offers a route to ultra-low loss, high-Q silica-based resonators with enhanced functionality.

I imagine, since I'm basically the "Fix-it Dragon", that sort of duty would fall to me. If only I wasn't absolutely swamped as it is! I got, like... four different projects I'm handling simultaneously right now, not to mention a lot more in my backlog. Yeesh!
So...I payed close attention to the Tenrec...and during any scene it's described as an Otter-Shrew. The thing is, when I google both, Tenrec and Otter-Shrews are two different animals (In fact, a Tenrec was the type of animal Shadow the Hedgehog was meant to be in the beginning of development of Sonic Adventure 2).
So, is this some kind of confusion or did I miss something about Tenrecs and Otter-Shrews?


Fans of Han Suk-kyu, star of local hit movies such as "Shiri" and "Christmas in August" will be able to see him in his upcoming movie "The Scarlet Letter" before its domestic release at the end of October as it is the closing film at PIFF this year.
"I really wanted to shoot a movie and play a different and more complicated role than before", Han told reporters in a news conference in July. "And I picked up this movie as my next film after my long break".
Directed by Daniel Byun, who returns with his second feature film after the melodrama "Interview" in 2000, the romantic thriller also stars three popular actresses _ Lee Eun-joo, Sung Hyun-ah and Um Ji-won.
"The movie is more about people's desire rather than romance", said Byun during the conference. "I think you have to pay for satisfying your desire, which I want to depict in the movie".
Taking its name and basic motive from Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic novel, the movie revolves around a talented and intelligent police detective (Han) who indulges in secret affairs although he has a wife (Um) that loves him. He finds himself attracted to Kyong-hee, the wife of a murdered man whose case he is investigating, who is also a suspect. As the story evolves, the relationships between the cop and three women fall into disaster.
The Ninth Pusan International Film Festival kicked off Thursday with an opening ceremony to match both the festival's established status and the growing power of the Korean movie industry.

The Cycle of Change – Part 2 Moodscope blog.
Following my blog 'The cycle of change', 8 April 2016.
So, how have I reached Lasting Change, the final stage in the Cycle of Change?
Firstly I decided that I wanted to reach Lasting Change. I was determined. I just kept on; I refused to give up. I wouldn't even consider the possibility of not reaching my goal.
Secondly, I forced myself to be brutally honest with myself about where I was in the Cycle. This meant coming to terms with the woman I had become. And it was tough. It took me a long time. It was also tough having to revisit time and again earlier stages. But I came to recognise more quickly when I was slipping back, and gradually it meant that I could move through the stages more quickly.
Thirdly I found Louise Hay's work on affirmations really helpful.
Fourthly, annotating my Moodscope graph helped me become more objective about my low moods, and highlighted for me when they were down to simple fatigue, or to over-doing things.
For me, the key to reaching Lasting Change has been the affirmation "I choose to accept myself as I am just for today". This particular affirmation came about following a physiotherapy session; my lovely, gentle physiotherapist talked about hearing a holocaust survivor explaining that they chose to forgive the Nazis a day at a time – some days they could forgive, some days they couldn't forgive. This meant that they became empowered by the knowledge that they could choose to offer or to deny forgiveness and in doing this they ceased being a victim.
I have found this 'just for today' phrase incredibly liberating, since it allows me the option of choosing NOT to accept my condition sometimes. I can rage against it (and I do, believe me!) I can cry about it. I can and do have days when I need to stop and rest for longer periods. And I have begun to accept that thanks (yes, thanks) to my condition, I have become much more accepting of myself and of life in general; I have also learnt so much thanks to this wonderful Moodscope community, which has been a HUGE help to me in coming this far, in reaching Lasting Change. Actually, shouldn't that be "in reaching Acceptance"?

Fragmented federal programs and funding structures are not maximizing the efficient movement of freight.

Why This Area Is Important
The movement of freight is critical to the economy and the livelihood of Americans who rely on freight transportation for food, clothing, and other essential commodities. Freight shipments move predominantly over vast networks of highways, railroads, and waterways and often are transported by more than one mode before reaching their final destination. System performance is essential for the timely transportation of freight from its sources and manufacturers to the customer. Congress authorized around $43 billion in fiscal year 2010 for Department of Transportation programs that can benefit surface freight transportation.[1] However, the Department of Transportation is just one of many stakeholders that are involved in freight movement—all with complex and varied roles, but none are responsible for the entire system. Federal funds in the form of grants, loans, and tax incentives are provided to state and local governments and the private sector, all of whom play major roles in ensuring freight mobility. Specifically, public sector transportation agencies at the federal, state, and local levels have a significant role in developing and managing some modes of the freight transportation system—such as highways and waterways—while private sector entities—such as railroads—finance and manage their own infrastructure. According to the Department of Transportation, in 2007, the surface freight transportation system, which crosses multiple surface modes, connected an estimated 8 million businesses and 116 million households moving $12 trillion in goods. Federal leadership can help assure that projects that facilitate movement of freight, which can be high-cost and cross jurisdictional lines, are undertaken.
While freight transportation has some issues that are similar to the surface transportation issues that GAO identified in its first annual report to Congress on federal programs with duplicative goals or activities,[2] inefficiencies affecting freight transportation such as poor roads and the lack of intermodal connections can impact the nation's economy. Freight volumes are closely linked to the gross domestic product—increases in freight shipments closely coincide with economic growth. However, freight vehicles often compete with non-freight vehicles, such as on the U.S. highway system, which consists of mixed-use facilities where passenger and freight vehicles operate in the same stream of traffic on the same facilities. Systems that cannot adequately accommodate both freight and non-freight vehicles can become congested, leading to delays in freight movements, lost revenues, and increased carbon emissions—all of which can increase transportation costs and, consequently, the price of goods, hurting businesses that rely on freight transportation infrastructure.
[1]An unknown amount of the funding went to projects that benefit freight. These programs have broad eligibility and may be used for a variety of types of projects that benefit freight to greater or lesser degrees.
[2]GAO, Opportunities to Reduce Potential Duplication in Government Programs, Save Tax Dollars, and Enhance Revenue, GAO-11-318SP (Washington, D.C.: Mar. 1, 2011).
As GAO previously reported, federal goals in surface transportation are numerous and roles are unclear, and the federal government does not maximize opportunities to promote the efficient movement of freight, despite a clear federal interest, the billions of dollars provided, and the importance of freight transportation to the national economy. There is currently no separate federal freight transportation program, only a loose collection of many freight-related programs that are embedded in a larger surface transportation program aimed at supporting both passenger and freight mobility. This fragmented structure makes it difficult to determine the types of freight projects that are funded and their impact on overall freight mobility. As GAO reported in January 2008, the need for the federal government to reassess its role and strategy in funding, selecting, and evaluating transportation investments, including those for freight transportation.
Department of Transportation administrations that have a role in freight transportation include the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Railroad Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and the Maritime Administration (see table below). There also is an Office of Freight Management and Operations within the Federal Highway Administration that administers programs, develops policies, and undertakes research that promotes freight movement across the nation and its borders. However, the office does not coordinate federal actions related to freight mobility, specifically. In addition, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the Department of Defense is responsible for planning, constructing, operating, and maintaining the nation's waterways. Department of Transportation administrations also coordinate freight issues with other federal agencies including the Department of Commerce, Department of Homeland Security, and Environmental Protection Agency. The various federal agencies and modal administrations play key roles in planning, designing, constructing, maintaining, and regulating freight transportation. GAO could not determine the total amount spent on freight transportation projects because it is not separately tracked from other transportation investments. According to Federal Highway Administration officials, isolating freight transportation expenditures is not possible at this time because the vast majority of the nation's highway system is used by both passenger and freight vehicles, and most highway projects benefit both.
Number of Department of Transportation Programs GAO Identified That Provide Funding for Freight Surface Transportation Infrastructure

Source: GAO analysis of Department of Transportation information.
These programs' structures for funding freight transportation projects include
grants (such as the National Highway System program, which funds projects that benefit both freight and passenger travel and, since 2009, the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery—TIGER—programs, which use a criteria-based, competitive process to fund projects serving national and regional priorities);
loans (such as the Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing program, which directs federal loans and loan guarantees to finance the development of railroads); and
tax credits (such as the exemption from federal taxes on interest earned from state and local government bonds for general transportation purposes and tax credits for certain expenditures on railroad track maintenance, which can create incentives for the investment of private sector funds on transportation improvements).
These programs are administered by different agencies and modal administrations with different missions, oversight, and funding requirements; do not necessarily coordinate with each other; and at times may overlap. As a result, funds have not always been allocated based on need or condition of the infrastructure carrying freight. For instance, highway funds are distributed to states through formulas that are not linked to performance or need. Examples of programs that may overlap include loan programs such as the Federal Railroad Administration's Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing Program and the Federal Highway Administration's Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act Program. Both may be used for freight rail facilities and infrastructure. Additionally, certain state and local governments issue tax-exempt bonds for financing infrastructure projects.
Although the current federal structure of loans, tax credits, and grants (including formula grants and congressionally directed funds) is beneficial, opportunities may exist to return greater national public and private benefits. Furthermore, intermodal considerations may not be evaluated in considering beneficial freight solutions for a given corridor, which may result in funding projects across multiple modes without regard for how each works toward meeting a common goal. Current law generally ties transportation funding to a single mode, limiting the ability of state and local transportation planning agencies to use federal funds for intermodal projects. Further, Department of Transportation administrations and state and local transportation agencies are organized by mode—reflecting the structure of funding programs—resulting in an organizational structure that the department's own assessments acknowledge can impede intermodal coordination. In addition, collaboration between the public and private sectors can also be challenging; for example, private-sector interests in airport, rail, and freight (such as freight shippers and carriers) have historically not participated in the regional planning process.
The federal government's fragmented approach also has resulted in a situation where the users of each freight mode are not equally bearing the costs those modes impose on society. When looking at the three categories of social costs borne by freight transportation services—private costs (labor, equipment, and fuel), public costs (paid out of government budgets and can be funded through taxes and fees), and "external" costs (congestion, accidents, health, and environmental impacts), GAO reported in January 2011 that freight trucking costs that were not passed on to consumers of that service were at least 6 times greater than rail costs, and at least 9 times greater than waterways costs. Therefore, public and private investment choices may be distorted, and there may be misallocation of scarce government resources to one mode over another.
Constrained freight mobility could have negative economic, environmental, and health implications. Because of the growth in freight and passenger demand, there has been an increase in truck and rail congestion that is particularly pronounced in major urban areas that contain important freight hubs such as ports, airports, border crossings, and rail yards. Congestion results in increased delays, carbon emissions, and fuel and labor costs, among other things.
Since the expiration of the last surface transportation authorization in 2009, Congress has funded transportation programs through a series of temporary extensions; the most recent will expire on March 31, 2012. Comprehensive legislative action has not been taken to fundamentally reexamine the nation's surface transportation policies; however, several legislative committees have approved bills to reauthorize and reform surface transportation programs. For example, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee approved a bill on November 9, 2011 reauthorizing the highway portion of the surface transportation program.[1] This bill contains measures to increase accountability for results by entities receiving federal funds and consolidate federal programs. In addition, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved a bill on February 2, 2012 that includes consolidating or eliminating a number of programs.[2] When we completed our work for this report, floor action was pending in the Senate. GAO is evaluating the extent to which ongoing legislative actions better define federal roles and goals, incorporate accountability for results, emphasize return on federal investment, and ensure fiscal sustainability.

Actions Needed
Although there is a clear federal interest in freight transportation, there is no strategy or clearly defined federal role in freight transportation or mechanism to implement the strategy, complete with defined national and regional transportation priorities, to achieve the highest return on federal investments. As noted, federal funding for freight-related infrastructure is based on discrete programs' objectives, not on a national freight policy, and it is currently not possible to identify program costs associated with only freight. Further, the Department of Transportation does not have a national freight strategy to guide its different operating administrations' freight programs. In addition, oversight and funding requirements by the different modal administrations can make it difficult for planners to develop and implement intermodal freight projects which could result in more efficient freight movement.
In recent years, GAO has recommended or proposed for congressional consideration the following actions. The Department of Transportation has agreed to consider the following recommendations, but they have yet to be implemented, in large part because the authorization for surface transportation programs expired in 2009, and existing programs subsequently have been funded through temporary extensions.
GAO recommended in June 2007 that the Secretary of Transportation
direct one operating administration or office—such as the Federal Highway Administration's Office of Freight Management and Operations—to take the lead in coordinating intermodal activities for freight at the federal level by improving collaboration among operating administrations and the availability of intermodal guidance and resources.
GAO recommended in January 2008 that the Secretary of Transportation
develop with Congress and public and private stakeholders a comprehensive national strategy to transform the federal government's involvement in freight transportation projects, including defining federal and nonfederal stakeholder roles and using new or existing federal funding sources and mechanisms to support a targeted, efficient, and sustainable federal role.
GAO proposed in February 2009 that Congress, in considering the reauthorization of federal surface transportation programs,
consider defining the federal role in surface transportation in accordance with national and regional transportation priorities, implementing a criteria-based, competitive project selection process, and working with the Secretary of Transportation to develop enhancements to ensure the highest return on federal investments.
Congressional reauthorization of transportation programs presents an opportunity to address GAO recommendations and matters for congressional consideration that have not been implemented. By promoting and coordinating solutions across jurisdictional lines, the federal government could increase the effectiveness of localities, states, and regional governments and planning organizations in overcoming freight-related challenges.
How GAO Conducted Its Work
The information contained in this analysis is based on findings from the products listed in the related GAO products section. See pages 341-342 of the PDF version of this report (appendix III) for a list of the programs GAO identified that may have similar or overlapping objectives, provide similar services or be fragmented across government missions. Overlap and fragmentation may not necessarily lead to actual duplication, and some degree of overlap and duplication may be justified.
Agency Comments & GAO Contact
GAO provided a draft of this report section to the Department of Transportation for review and comment. The Department of Transportation provided technical comments, which were incorporated as appropriate. Department officials informed GAO that the department is working with Congress to address prior GAO recommendations as part of efforts to reauthorize the federal surface transportation programs.

The eclectic Music and Beyond festival is back
The Music and Beyond festival is one of of the most interesting events in Ottawa's busy summer calendar. Starting on Saturday, July 4 this two-week celebration of art and culture will present more than 75 concerts and events, with its ingenious showcase of classical music and other genres.
What makes this artistic gathering really special, however, is its focus on the word "Beyond" in its name, as many of the planned activities explore themes that go beyond music. Among the topics that will be explored are the law, food, art and film.
In fact, there are so many events going on the souvenir program is more than 150 pages long. (You really need to look at the full program to get a sense of how impressive this festival is).
To get a taste of what's on offer, however, below is a short summary of some highlights:
July 5: The family music expo takes place at the University of Ottawa.
July 6: Sitar-player Irshad Khan performs Indian music at the Dominion-Chalmers Church.
July 6: Pirates on the Rideau will see musicians travelling from Dow's Lake to the National Arts Centre and back, while playing the music of Gilbert and Sullivan.

De Rednitz is een 46 km lange rivier in Frankenland, deelstaat Beieren,  Duitsland die samen met de Pegnitz de Regnitz vormt. Deze stroomt op haar beurt weer via de Main uit in de Rijn.

Loop
De rivier begint in Georgensgmünd op 342 m hoogte door de samenvloeiing van de Frankische en de Schwabische Rezat.

Van daar stroomt de Rednitz noordwaarts langs Roth, Büchenbach, Rednitzhembach, Penzendorf, Schwabach, Stein, Neurenberg, Oberasbach en Zirndorf naar Fürth, waar hij ten noordwesten van de binnenstad samenvloeit met de uit het oosten komende Pegnitz en zo de Regnitz vormt.

Milieu
Het Rednitztal is een van de weinige valleien van het Frankenland die sinds de middeleeuwen niet is gewijzigd. Het dal bestaat voornamelijk uit meersen, die al eeuwenlang door een dicht systeem van kanaaltjes en grachten wordt onderhouden, wat drie grasoogsten per jaar toelaat.

Door deze bewerkingsmethode hebben heel wat zeldzame vogels, vissen, reptielen en insecten hier hun leefgebied. Om die reden werd in 2004 het deel van het dal tussen de A 6 en Stein als Europees Natura-2000-gebied geregistreerd.

Sluizen
 Stuw en sluis bij de Faber-Castell-fabriek bij Stein.
 Stuw en sluis bij de elektriciteitscentrale aan de westrand van Neurenberg

Economische betekenis
Ten noorden van Schwabach waren sinds de middeleeuwen en tot einde 19e eeuw talrijke houten watermolens actief die vooral voor de bevloeiing van de aanpalende velden dienden.

Q: Core Plot: Axis titles show randomly, not always working I am trying to get my X and Y axis titles to show, but it seems they are not always working:
CPXYAxisSet *axisSet = (CPXYAxisSet *)graph.axisSet;
    CPXYAxis *x = axisSet.xAxis;
    x.orthogonalCoordinateDecimal = CPDecimalFromFloat(min);
    x.title = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Distance %@", distLabel];
    x.titleLocation = CPDecimalFromFloat(7.5f);
    x.titleOffset = 55.0f;

    CPXYAxis *y = axisSet.yAxis;
    y.orthogonalCoordinateDecimal = CPDecimalFromFloat(minDist);
    y.title = @"Altitude";
    y.titleOffset = 95.0f;
    y.titleLocation = CPDecimalFromFloat(150.0f);

Sometimes the X title will show, but the Y axis title NEVER shows.  Why are they not showing?  Is it the padding?
plotAreaFrame.paddingLeft = 50;
    plotAreaFrame.paddingTop = 10;
    plotAreaFrame.paddingRight = 20;
    plotAreaFrame.paddingBottom = 50;

A: You need to increase your bottom and left padding. Your title offsets are more than that on both axes so the titles are hidden.

He often serves as the "translator" for the firm and the Court—turning incredibly complex data, expert analysis, and concepts into plain-English pleadings and motions. He has done this on behalf of institutional investors, insurance companies, and bankrupt estates against most of the world's largest banks and auditing firms, both in individual actions and by way of being part of our firm's role as lead class counsel.
By way of example, in a recent class action involving manipulation of the ISDAfix benchmark rate, he was responsible for creating the narrative surrounding our firm's industry-leading development of statistical models that found abnormalities in the daily setting of the benchmark rate, before the government had even acted. He then had primary responsibility for the expert materials developing a groundbreaking model for measuring damages—one keyed off a theory that manipulative trades permanently impact prices—that was the foundation for the request to certify the class. And after those efforts directly led to over $500 million in settlements, he was the main architect and defender of a multi-pronged plan of how to distribute those proceeds to a large and sophisticated group of class members.
His other work has included creating the template many would follow for how to plead (and then defend against a motion to dismiss) a fraud case arising out of residential mortgage-backed securities; bringing claims arising out of the rigging of the LIBOR benchmark (the "world's most important number"); crafting the leading complaint for rigging prices of U.S. Treasuries; pursuing antitrust claims against Wall Street for having distorted the evolution of multiple marketplaces (including those for interest rate swaps, credit default swaps, U.S. Treasuries, and for the lending of stocks—which has been called the "mother of all dark pools"); seeking compensation on behalf of the class for price-fixing in the market for supranational, sub-sovereign, and agency ("SSA") bonds, which has already resulted in tens of millions in settlements; bringing similar claims for rigging prices in the market for gold and related securities, which similarly secured tens of millions before discovery even began; and in securing a lead-counsel position for our firm in pursuing claims against the Chicago Board Options Exchange for failing to have adequately safeguard against manipulation of the "VIX" (known as the nation's "fear gauge"). He has also led efforts to secure documents in the United States to assist the prosecution of foreign actions, by way of 28 U.S.C § 1782.

Taiwan's parliament approves proposal to rename China Airlines

Renaming a company is always going to be a complicated undertaking, but rarely does it hit the levels of controversy currently swirling around China Airlines, Taiwan's largest air carrier.
On Wednesday, Taiwan's parliament approved a proposal to rebrand the airline – name change included.
Echoing earlier discussions about the need to rebrand, it was pointed out during the parliament meeting that the name of the Taipei-based carrier is easily confused with Air China, a major airline headquartered in Beijing.
This now tasks the Transport Ministry with working out policies that will help strengthen China Airlines as a Taiwan brand internationally so that it won't be mistaken for an airline from mainland China.
"The Ministry of Transportation and Communications shall study and propose a feasible plan for the renaming of China Airlines in phases," the approved proposal says in Chinese.
The proposal emphasizes that the ministry should find ways to rebrand that do not involve re-negotiating or modifying the carrier's international aviation freedoms – such as strengthening the image of Taiwan on the plane livery.
The carrier at the center of this debate, however, is remaining quiet for now.
"Please be advised that China Airlines has no comments on this topic at the moment," Jason Liu, vice president of China Airlines' corporate communications office, told CNN Travel in an email.
'Hamlet' in the skies? The story behind Taiwan's newest airline, STARLUX
A debate lasting for over a decade
China Airlines was founded in Taiwan in 1959 and flies out of Taipei's Taoyuan International Airport, servicing 160 destinations in 29 countries. The majority shareholder is the China Aviation Development Foundation, which is wholly owned by the Taiwanese government.
So why change the name now?
The argument for rebranding gained strength in recent months over fears a series of China Airlines' cargo flights, used to deliver coronavirus medical supplies around the world, were mistakenly thought to be coming from mainland China.
The island's citizens were enraged and a petition requesting the name change was initiated on Change.org. As of July 23, more than 50,000 people have signed.
This isn't the first time the airline's moniker has come into the spotlight, though.
A few Taiwan companies with the word China in their names – including China Airlines – were asked to change their names when Chen Shui-bian was the island's president in the early 2000s.
The topic resurfaced again in 2016 under Tsai Ing-wen's leadership.
Geopolitical issues
Those unaware of the region's geopolitical sensitivities could be forgiven for getting confused about the airline and where it's headquartered.
Taiwan's official name is the "Republic of China" (ROC), tracing its founding to 1911 on the Chinese mainland after the collapse of China's last imperial dynasty.
Mainland China and Taiwan have been governed separately since 1949 following the Communist victory on the mainland after a civil war, although a shared cultural and linguistic heritage mostly endures.
But China considers Taiwan to be an integral part of its territory, and comes down hard on any suggestions to the contrary – even where matters of aviation are concerned.
In 2018, Beijing demanded global airlines change how they refer to Taiwan on their websites or risk sanctions. In response, the White House issued a scathing statement criticizing Beijing for pressuring US carriers and other companies on this issue.
In the end, multiple airlines, including US carriers American Airlines and Delta, complied with the order.
