The Wehrmacht of Nazi Germany was one of the most remarkable and effective armies in the history of warfare. Established in 1935 from the professional core of the inter-war Reichswehr, the Wehrmacht developed rapidly, massively expanding its numbers while developing a revolutionary set of strategic and tactical ideas, known to us as Blitzkrieg. When it was unleashed on an unprepared Europe in 1939, the Wehrmacht swept all before it, conquering most of the continent before it was finally halted in late 1942. Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, it fought on for the next two years, conducting a fighting retreat of unprecedented skill on three separate fronts.
Featuring full-color maps, contemporary photographs, and profiles of leading figures, this two volume set examines what it was that made the Wehrmacht so effective, and what weaknesses led to its eventual downfall and destruction. It also includes lengthy appendices detailing the organization, manpower strength, and equipment of different types of Wehrmacht division as well as a glossary of terms.
This book – the second of a two volume series – examines the nature of the Wehrmacht and its combat history in the second half of World War II. It looks at the relationship between Hitler and his generals; between his generals and their officers; and between those officers and their men. It profiles the German frontline soldier and the arms industry that kept him fighting. It also provides an unflinching look at the realities of the Wehrmacht's role in Nazi atrocities. The later chapters follow the Wehrmacht as it is fought back through Eastern Europe, France, and Italy, conducting a fighting retreat all the way to Berlin. To conclude this two-volume series, this book considers the fate of those who fought in the Wehrmacht's campaigns, as well as the historic and military influence of the Wehrmacht's successes.

Q: Can't get simple Azure AD ASP.NET authenticated web app to work I have used the Visual Studio template for an ASP.NET Webforms app with Azure AD authentication to create a simple web app. It works 100% fine locally. I can sign in, sign out, all good. Whenever I deploy to either AWS or Azure however, the behavior changes. The sign in still comes up fine, no issues at all, but after signing in, instead of taking me to the site, the browser just thinks for ages before dumping me to this error in the browser:

Server Error in '/' Application.
Runtime Error  Description: An application error occurred on the
  server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent
  the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for

I have tried adding the web.config setting and redeploying and it makes zero difference. Because I'm using App service on Azure for instance, I can't run the site on the actual web server as I don't have access to it. I tried looking at diagnostic log streaming, and got the below?

Tracing technological developments relating to field environmental measurements.
Assessing available remote sensing and GIS protocols and products for long-term monitoring and cross-domain indicator approaches.
The contact persons are in charge of organising the process and the expert community rather than being "jacks of all trades" by covering all aspects of this topic.
Based on the development and discussions about the conceptual framework for indicator selection within LTER-Europe, we agreed on Ecological Integrity concept and adjusted it to the needs of LTER issues. This work was supported by the Life+ project EnvEurope (www.enveurope.eu). The detailed report about the conceptual framework for LTER-Europe is available as PDF here.
The selection of parameters based on the Ecological Integrity concept and description of their properties relevant for comparison of data is compiled in the database ECOPAR.
Link to ECOPAR - ECOPAR is based on a database of indicators, parameters and corresponding methods for ecosystem monitoring and research. The Ecological Integrity framework enables the assignment of parameters to structures and processes of ecosystems. The ECOPAR database covers the main types of ecosystems: terrestrial, rivers, lakes and marine environments. It is aiming at harmonization of measurements especially in Long Term Ecosystem Research (LTER). However, it provides parameter recommendations for any kind of ecosystem research. ECOPAR is interactive, meaning that you are invited to comment and add information according to your expertise in the comment fields.
The final result are recommendations for the LTER-Europe community about standard LTER indicators and parameters within the framework of Ecological Integrity and how to measure them.


About 28,500 US troops are stationed in South Korea, where the US has maintained a military presence since the 1950-53 Korean War. The new deal must still be approved by South Korea's Parliament, but it would boost its contribution to 1.03 trillion won ($890 million) from 960 billion won in 2018. Unlike past agreements, which lasted for five years, this one is scheduled to expire in a year, potentially forcing both sides back to the bargaining table within months.
While acknowledging lingering domestic criticism of the new deal and the need for parliamentary approval, Kang said the response had "been positive so far". The US State Department senior adviser for security negotiations and agreements, Timothy Betts, met Kang before signing the agreement on behalf of the US, and told her the money represented a small but important part of South Korea's support for the alliance.
"The US government realises that South Korea does a lot for our alliance and for peace and stability in this region," he said. The allies had struggled to reach a breakthrough despite 10 rounds of talks since March, amid Trump's repeated calls for a sharp increase in South Korea's contribution. South Korean officials have said they had sought to limit its burden to $1 trillion won and make the accord valid for at least three years.

Bitcoins, Monetary Theory
Bitcoin Stars in a Senate Hearing
November 19, 2013 David Mint
11/19/2013 Portland, Oregon – Pop in your mints…
Bitcoins: What they are and how to use them
The virtual currency known as the Bitcoin has achieved what has become a badge of honor in the finance industry, it has become the subject of a Senate hearing.
Senate hearings have, in the past, starred noble characters such as MF Global and its lead actor, John Corzine, who still roams free after punting roughly $1.6 Billion USD to another Wall Street leading man, Jamie Dimon, who remains the head of JP Morgan, who added a $13 Billion fine to its list of greatest hits related to its dealings with other entities during what has become known as the Financial Crisis of 2008.
And who can forget the Gorilla, Lehman's Richard Fuld, who starred in one of the earliest versions of such hearings and gave us the phrase, echoed by insolvent bankers throughout the world, "why us?"
As the Bitcoin has no central authority to speak of, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs called Jennifer Calvary, head of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, Edward Lowery of the Secret Service, and Mythili Raman of the Justice Department to testify on its behalf.
As may be expected by three persons who are cast in the role of antagonist to anything offering anonymity to private citizens, a privilege that the government refuses to recognizes, they expressed concern about "what could happen" and "who may be using" virtual currencies such as Bitcoin.
However, the antagonists did show a measure of empathy for their crypto-foe, the same way viewers feel empathy for characters like John Q or Walter White. While taking the government line that what people may do with Bitcoins may be bad, the Bitcoins themselves are generally harmless and, in fact, may provide a great benefit to society.
As pageantry that generally accompanies a finance related Senate hearing unfolded, the Bitcoin market went ballistic, touching $900USD before the elevator moves inherent in the Bitcoin/USD (or any other debt based currency) market took hold and thrust it back to $600, it is now climbing past $700 as we write.
While it is interesting for Senators to listen to how various branches of government propose to regulate Bitcoins, it is clear that, while they may have a glimmer of a chance of understanding the technological framework of Bitcoins, they have no clue what it means in the monetary realm, for they do not understand money.
Alas, much of humanity is in the dark as to monetary theory. It is for this reason that we started The Mint, to explore this deep "mystery" that lies in the wallet of each and every one of us.
Along the way, we have found gems for those who would pause and listen, such as the key to reversing the effects of climate change, and why Bitcoins are the gold standard of digital currencies.
To be sure, Bitcoins have an Achilles heel, but it is not what many people think, want to know what it is and when to get out of Bitcoins? Someday we will give them away, for now, it will cost you $0.99 USD, or 0.00141 BTC to find out. Please pick up our hastily written guide to Bitcoins, which, to our knowledge, is the only one that has examined Bitcoins through the lens of monetary theory with clarity and coherence.
All we can say for the moment is that Bitcoin is a buy, you can sort out the details later.
As for the government's concerns regarding Bitcoin's inherent anonymity in the monetary realm, we propose the following Quid pro quo. Rather than the public being obligated to respond to the straw man argument of "If you have nothing to hide, what are you worried about?" what if the public's retort to the government became a universal, "if you have nothing to fear, what are you worried about?"
Stay tuned and Trust Jesus.
Stay Fresh!

Two Alliance Northwest churches now offer accredited, "church-based", Bachelors and Masters programs. The vision is to prepare a new generation of vocationally-called leaders to local church service (neighborhoods) and international missions (the nations). The reality is that a student graduating from these programs can be field-ready and debt-free.
Reach Training Institute (RTI), launched by Salem Alliance Church in January of 2014. Lead Pastor Steve Fowler and Dean Steve Dangaren.
Bible Institute of Seattle (BIOS), launched by Snoqualmie Valley Alliance in the fall of 2015. Lead Pastor Monty Wright.
As educational partners with Crown College in Minnesota, RTI and BIOS are developing highly effective leaders through theological education and practical ministry experience for international and local kingdom service, at the lowest possible cost. They enable students to earn fully-accredited, four-year bachelors degrees in Christian Ministry or Global Studies in a cohort model that encourages learning and growth in a community-based environment.

WALKING DEAD Heads Up, Thumbs Down
THE WALKING DEAD got around to addressing some of the dangling plot-threads it's been avoiding through its last three filler eps but the midseason finale isn't until next week, so even as the series finally starts to deal with these matters, some of which have been left dangling since the first and second eps of the season, the padding required to drag things out to that bigger-audience ep is profuse.
The opening moments of "Heads Up" reveal that--surprise, surprise--Glenn did indeed survive his predicament from "Thank You"; he climbed under a dumpster and hid there until the zombies left. When he crawls out, Enid, who left the safe zone after it was attached by the Wolves, is somehow instantly on the scene to helpfully throw him some drinking water. Absent the use of magic, of course, she had no way of knowing he was under there. Her being there, of all the places in the entire world she could have gone, and finding him just as he emerged is just another of those cosmic coincidences that have become increasingly common this season.
Back at the safe zone, Rick sees Maggie standing watch atop the wall, looking to the west, from whence, she hopes, Glenn will soon return. He mounts the wall and offers her a speech. "When we go out there, it's never easy. It's never simple. It's always a fight. But we've come back from harder things from further away. Glenn, Daryl, Abraham and Sasha, they will too." And so on. As if Maggie is entirely unaware of these things. A hefty helping of screentime-burning low-grade melodrama for the audience but, of course, completely ridiculous as any sort of verbal exchange between these characters.
The scene happens, as noted, while the two of them stand on the wall in plain sight of the gathered dead below. Two eps ago, Rick made a big speech in which his suggested course of action for dealing with the zombies surrounding the town was for everyone there to be quiet and remain out of sight and perhaps the zombies would simply move on. An uncharacteristically good idea from Rick. And, of course, everyone, including, most prominently, Rick himself, proceeded to entirely ignore it. Tonight, we get more of the same. Rick is instructing Ron in the use of firearms and Ron wants to get in some target practice at some of the zombies outside. Rick vetoes this, explaining that the dead outside are spread fairly thin (though only two eps ago, he described the town as completely surrounded by zombies twenty deep) and that he didn't want to risk their bunching up around the source of gunshots, which could result in their overly stressing the wall in that area. He even vetoes target practice in the center of town, which would presumably assuage this problem to an extent. And then shortly afterwards, Rick starts reinforcing the wall, spending an extended period loudly nailing up wood supports on the section of it damaged by the truck collision--the weakest point in the wall.
Viewers, you are being mocked.
Enid and Glenn, meanwhile, basically waste the entire ep. Enid runs away, Glenn chases her down, they argue over whether Enid was going to return to the safe zone with Glenn (something she initially insists she won't do but then relents), then they just dick around, talking, squabbling, no sense of urgency. Glenn is initially terribly concerned about the fate of his wife--the last he heard, zombies were marching on the safe zone--but that seems to go right out the window to make room for this business. And everything that happens between he and Enid is pointless contrivance, there only to eat up screentime. Glenn has absolutely no reason to either pursue her or to insist she return with him; she clearly knows her way around and can take care of herself. Once he's brought her to heel, he's presumably set on immediately returning to town but instead, for no apparent reason, they go in the opposite direction, which appears to be just another geographical foul-up by the writers. A few weeks ago, in my piece about "Thank You," I dealt with the significant geographical problems introduced in that ep. I've prepared a somewhat crude map[1] to illustrate some of them:
Glenn's apparent death happened somewhere in area #6, yet he and Enid, in supposedly traveling back to the safe zone, end up at point #5, where Enid begins to play with the helium balloons our heroes stashed there as part of the zombie herding operation. The two banter. No hurry.
Rick and Morgan finally have a sit-down about Morgan's problematic "all life is precious" philosophy. It's handled much better than one would expect from TWD. Rick learns the Wolves that Morgan allowed to escape were the ones who attacked him and shot up the RV, which killed his plan to lead the zombies away and resulted in the town being surrounded. Morgan confesses he just doesn't know if he can follow his philosophy in this zombified world. Morgan doesn't tell anyone about the Wolf he captured though and in a bit of absolutely unconscionable behavior, he goes to the infirmary and procures precious antibiotics for the homicidal maniac he's keeping locked up. Carol catches on but the ep cuts away before she learns exactly what he's done.
More padding: Rosita teaches a "class" of Alexandrians about how to use a machete, Spencer tries to go off on his own in an effort to lead the zombies away, is nearly eaten and has to be rescued and so on--more events present solely to eat up screentime. After being so generally dreary, "Heads Up" ends on a pretty good last image (though the lead-up to it is marred by another cosmic-scale coincidence) but that can't make up for the fact that a viewer could skip from the third ep of this season to this one without having missed a thing (and most of what happens in this one could have been done in 20 minutes).
[1] As crude as it is, it does manage to incorporate every bit of information we've been given about the area. If I've missed anything, I'm sure eagle-eyed readers will spot it. There is a dried-up creek somewhere along the route taken by Rick and Morgan when they were disposing of Pete's body--a bridge passes over it. There isn't enough info to plot its course and it doesn't matter, so I've ignored it.
The mid season finale format ruins this show. Its like they have to always spend the first 7 episodes building to a huge episode so they fill those episodes ip with crappy filler.
cinemarchaeologist November 23, 2015 at 10:14 AM
That's nothing imposed by the format though; that's a conscious choice the creators make.
Jacob November 23, 2015 at 11:06 AM
The format lends itself to this crappy pace, but there's nothing that requires it to be like this. This whole 8 episode span happens in 24 hours according to The Talking Dead last night.
The number of people still trumpeting this season as "the best one yet!" makes me scratch my head. It is becoming almost a credits-to-credits standup routine.
Rick pounding on the wall at the presumed weakest point? Standing on top constantly since telling everyone to keep a low profile. JRiddle's 60 second map is more thought put into time and place than this entire freaking crew has put into the show in the last 5 seasons. That's how absurd it has become.
cinemarchaeologist November 23, 2015 at 12:12 PM
The "best season yet" talk happens with every season while it's in progress. Chris Hardwick, the night Talking Dead debuted, said the season 2 opener was the best TWD ep ever produced--an assertion that looked ridiculous at the time and looks utterly ludicrous today--and that set the tone for a lot of the fan commentary.
I've asserted the series has descended into self-parody to an extent we've haven't previously seen and even with that in mind, I'm always surprised by the extent to which every episode brings such a cornucopia of new examples. It's as if each individual portion of each ep is being written by a totally different writer than the others and the writers never meet, never discuss what they're doing with the other guys writing the other segments.
I started scratching out that map a few weeks ago when the geography first got so screwed up. A fan had created a map that tried to explain it but it was just a mess, full of inaccuracies, so I was going to spend a few minutes trying to put together one that incorporated everything we knew. I ended up doing something else and never finished it. After Enid and Glenn suddenly ended up at "point green" last night, I pulled it out, wrote the copy and posted it. I don't think I've missed anything--if I did, I'm sure readers will point it out. I think I'm going to add in that theoretical road Rick was on with the RV, just for completion's sake.
HPWB November 23, 2015 at 12:50 PM
There's more points that don't make sense, and this map makes them clear, even though it could be far more detailed. The first part of the route was lined with cars, yet the area with the greatest danger, near Alexandria, was not lined with cars. With disastrous consequences. Also: the zombie herding had to start because the back road wasn't blocked anymore (the truck fell down), so why start the process at all? The zombies would either fall in the pit again or circle back to Alexandria over a period of weeks or more, plenty of time for another plan.
Jacob November 23, 2015 at 12:57 PM
Enid just popping up on a random rooftop in a random alleyway in a random town randomly placed for sake of plot was a fitting way to "unspoil" a main characters fake death on a show. The only episode my wife has watched this season was "Thank You" and she just watched part of it. So last night when she watched the first few minutes with me of this latest one she said... and I quote. "What the hell is that girl doing there?"
cinemarchaeologist November 23, 2015 at 2:48 PM
As I understand it, the upper shelf of the quarry led down to the same road as the front entrance and that road led straight to safe zone. If the zombies got out either way, they'd be heading in a straight shot for the safe zone.
Hey you didnt bring up that Tara flipped off Rick and told him to F' off!
That blows your theory that anyone who questions Rick dies out of the water.lol
Actually it has nothing to do with his point on anyone who disagrees with rick dies. She wasnt disagreeing with him she was telling him where to stick it. Much different than some guy trying to undermine him and try to get a group of survivers to turn on him because "add whatever reason here" is at the time. Try to keep up.
I watched the scene with Spencer and I could not for the LIFE of me figure out why Rick was pissed at Tara. He acted like she jumped down into the mob of walkers or something. All she did was shoot from the wall. But he acted like she was risking her life. I didn't understand it at all.
The geography and time passage is an absolute train wreck this season. They don't pay ANY attention to any of that, though. None of it makes any sense. They could hire a 5th grader for minimum wage and keep better track of time and place than these "professionals" do. When TWD is all said and done I will be interested to know where this crack writing staff ends up working for the rest of their careers. SyFy movies?
Mattk87 November 23, 2015 at 9:53 PM
I do think that there is an AMC mandate to have 16 episode seasons in order to stretch the season out over prime ratings seasons of fall and spring in order to produce more ad revenue. However it seems as if the writers only write enough story each season to fill 8-10 episodes. This is why we get many episodes each season that only focus on a handful of characters each episode over the same period of time (like last weeks daryl episode), and we often have episodes where characters are walking from location A to B having the same repetitive conversations about surviving in the world (Glenn and Enids plot from this episode).
Can you imagine if this whole herd plot had played out over the first 4 episodes of this season without the darryl episode and the morgan flashback episode? There would still be problems but the pacing would at least be bearable. Most quality story oriented shows are going for a trim 8-10 episode seasons while the walking dead has a bloated 16 episode run each season. I think the writers clearly do not want to write 16 episodes worth of plot because they would overrun the material of the comics even quicker than they eventually will at their current rate.
"it seems as if the writers only write enough story each season to fill 8-10 episodes."
We're lucky if there's that much actual writing going on most of the time. But I'll repeat, the problem with TWD's writing, including its poor pacing, has nothing to do with the number of eps. Talented writers with an enthusiasm for the material would be so full of ideas they couldn't cram it into only 16 eps or even 22, as they do on the major networks. The reason it ends up so underwritten is because the writers write it that way. It's a choice not to do the work. Cutting down the number of eps wouldn't help.
Mattk87 November 25, 2015 at 11:35 AM
I agree to an extent but the big mystery is why so little plot and so many episodes? The only thing I can come up with is a desire to not outpace the comics, or the fact that these writers think they are doing a good job which I guess given the ratings up to this point I guess they are.
Your theory of peak walking dead holds a lot of water imo especially given the whole Glenn fiasco. I could see that event turning a lot of people away from the show. It will be hard for the writers to come back from something that manipulative
It does not matter that you hate TWD. It is only the zombie show on TV, so what are you going to do (no, izombie doesn't count -its a police procedural, and the big fail that was zombieland tv series got cancelled immediately)? You have to watch it, and you will like it. Don't like this show? Why don't you go and make your own zombie tv series.
Anyway, it's not really the writers' fault. They have to stick with the comic storyline. Give them some slack, and please shift your blame to the guy who wrote the comics.
If only AMC would have just adapted the comic to the screen.
Dude....
The writing is horrible. That is why characters make dumb decisions. No one talks like a normal real person. All these writers have backgrounds in soap operas. They pick and choose what they want from the comics and spend 8 episodes for something that happened very quickly in the comics. There have been so many things left out from the comic on this show. And then they make up totally pointless stories like last seasons hospital arc that was so long and dragged out it basically took 4 episodes. Yes its the only zombie drama but thats not an excuse. The best sci-fi/drama shows explore human nature and what it means to never compromise on your beliefs. A perfect example is the characters of Capt.Picard vs. Rick Grimes. Rick is a schizophrenic random personality generator with no true beliefs or morals they changevepisode to episode.
Not the only zombie show. There is Z Nation on Syfy on Friday nights.
That is just a cheap parody show made by Asylum. We're talking about real zombie tv shows here. You know with actors, special effects and budgets. I heard they have a former hot dog salesman as their lead in that show, who is a blue zombie, and their last episode was about zombie aliens. Laughable, am I right?
I watch both TWD and Z Nation on my DVR. When I watch TWD I will at some point look at how much time has passed and think "how has this only been running for 24 minutes?"
With Z Nation most times I realize it's nearly over and I am almost never screwing around on my phone because it keeps my attention.
Compare budgets all you'd like. It's budget shouldn't be held against it in any case.
TWD's last episode was about zombies who get easily distracted by a rolling tin can while fresh meat is inches away. TWD has very frequently featured zombies with the power of teleportation and ninja-like stealth. Laughable, am I right?
I hope:

Le Bugatti-De Monge 100 est un avion de course expérimental conçu conjointement par Ettore Bugatti et Louis de Monge en 1938, peu avant le début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il est exposé au  dans le Wisconsin aux États-Unis.

Historique
Cet avion avait été conçu en 1937, et construit pour participer à la « Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe » en 1938, contre notamment Max Holste (futur concepteur, notamment, des Broussard) et Nicolas Roland Payen sur Payen Pa-100, et tenter de battre le record du monde de vitesse. L'avion était déjà presque terminé, mais l'arrivée de la Seconde Guerre mondiale a mis le projet en sommeil, et il ne fut pas terminé par la suite. Il n'a donc jamais volé.

L'avion était équipé de deux moteurs Bugatti T50-B1 de  à 8 cylindres en ligne, en aluminium, à double arbres à cames en tête, et donnant  chacun. Ces moteurs étaient montés l'un derrière l'autre, mais décalés l'un à droite (AV), l'autre à gauche (AR). Les arbres de transmission passaient de chaque côté du pilote pour entraîner une paire d'hélices contra-rotatives via un jeu d'engrenages d'accouplement et de réduction situé devant le pilote.

Après la guerre, l'avion, qui avait été démonté et caché en banlieue parisienne, fut finalement racheté par un Américain qui en convoitait essentiellement les moteurs, pour les utiliser en course automobile. Le reste de l'avion est actuellement exposé à l'EAA AirVenture Museum, à Oshkosh dans le Wisconsin.

Une réplique moderne, la plus fidèle possible tant dans la forme que dans l'esprit, après des années de recherches, d'efforts et d'heures de travail, a décollé le  à Tulsa, Oklahoma. Cet avion s'est malheureusement écrasé lors de son  de test, le , à Burns Flat, Oklahoma. Le pilote, Scotty Wilson, a été tué dans l'accident.

As an older person I was a little hesitant as I embarked on my Askari experience. I need not have worried as I managed everything perfectly and was made to feel part of a young team at all times. The experience is intense and exhilarating at the same time. Katie and Robbie are extremely efficient and organised. I left Askari feeling like I'd gained a lifetime of knowledge in only 2 weeks. This is despite the fact that I am South African and have been to many game reserves around South Africa. Katie & Rob, I have so much respect for what you do and thank you so much for putting up with my "old lady" stuff. I loved swimming in the stunning pool and the walks I did in the nyala enclosure. My friend asked me if I had anything negative to say about my trip and my answer was "No". I hope to be back sometime soon.

Colorado Kicks Off Statewide Expansion of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library
Dec 1, 2021 | Imagination Library, United States | 0 Comments
The Imagination Library will soon be available to all children under five in Colorado!
Governor Jared Polis, Education Commissioner Katy Anthes and the Imagination Library of Colorado joined American icon Dolly Parton during National Family Literacy Month to announce the Colorado statewide expansion of her namesake Imagination Library book-gifting program. Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is dedicated to inspiring a love of reading by gifting books each month to children from birth to age five, free of charge through funding shared by local community partners.
"I'm so excited to be working with Governor Polis, the Department of Education, and our Colorado state partner to bring my Imagination Library to more children and families across Colorado! Together we can gift a love of reading that will last a lifetime," said Dolly.
Goals for Expansion
The goal of the statewide expansion is to make books available to children ages 0-5 in every zip code in Colorado. Colorado has 30 programs covering portions of Colorado's 64 counties. Currently, four percent of eligible children in the state are receiving books through existing community-based programs.
"One of my goals is to make Colorado the very best state for children and families, and the Imagination Library embodies our commitment to make sure that every child and family thrives. We know that the most important factor in a child's success is an early introduction to books," Governor Polis said. "We are proud now to connect our kids with the resources they need to succeed through this statewide expansion."
In year one of the expansion, the Imagination Library of Colorado will:
Form partnerships with local community organizations. These local partners/affiliates are the heart of the program. They promote the program online and at in-person events, fundraise, and enroll children who live within their geographical area. A local program affiliate must be a 501(c)(3), though several organizations may form a coalition of support and leadership. Examples include businesses, school districts, service clubs, local foundations, etc. To learn more about becoming a local program affiliate, contact Pam Hunsaker at [email protected].
Assist with program start-up and enrollment strategies in local communities.
Build and sustain strong statewide partnerships to assure long-term sustainability of the overall initiative.
"Ensuring that students are reading at grade level by third grade is one of our most important priorities here at the Department of Education," said Colorado Education Commissioner Katy Anthes. "It will be so exciting for children and families to get a book delivered to their home every month, and we know it will help children develop a lifelong love of reading and set them up for success in school. We are so grateful to the partners who are expanding the Imagination Library program statewide, including the governor, the state legislature, the State Board of Education and of course, The Dollywood Foundation."
"We are grateful for the strong bipartisan effort to ensure that all children in Colorado, from ages zero to five, will have the opportunity to enhance and enrich their lives with books from Dolly Parton's Imagination Library," said Jack Tate, CEO of the Imagination Library of Colorado. "Like a ground-breaking ceremony, we celebrate beginning the hard work ahead forming partnerships with additional community based organizations so we can get books to all eligible Colorado children."

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library Garners Significant Award From Library of Congress
Sep 15, 2021 | Imagination Library, United States | 0 Comments
Library of Congress Awards Imagination Library With David M. Rubenstein Prize
The worldwide literacy program that many have called "the little program that could" continues to receive praise and recognition for its role in shaping the future for millions of children around the world. Dolly Parton's Imagination Library received one of the highest literacy honors from the Library of Congress on International Literacy Day for the work it does to instill a love of reading in kids.
The Library of Congress awarded the Imagination Library, an initiative of The Dollywood Foundation, with the $150,000 David M. Rubenstein Prize for its work in delivering more than 160 million books to children around the world. The Imagination Library continues to race at an ever-accelerating pace, now providing 1.8 million high-quality, age appropriate books each month to children birth to age five around the world. Dolly herself visited the Library of Congress on February 28, 2018, to enshrine the program's 100 millionth book, fittingly a copy of "Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors," which is an adaptation of her iconic song of the same name.
According to a release from the Library of Congress, "Since 2014 when the Imagination Library received 'best practice' recognition from the Library of Congress Literacy Awards, the Dollywood Foundation has strategically positioned the Imagination Library for aggressive growth…Although mailing the books to each child's home is only one aspect of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, it is a remarkable feat that helps improve literacy on an international scale and creates special moments for children and families."
The David M. Rubenstein Prize
The prize award is named in honor of David M. Rubenstein, the co-founder and co-executive chairman of The Carlyle Group. Rubenstein is a major benefactor of the Library of Congress and is the chairman of the Library's lead donor group, the James Madison Council. Dollywood Foundation President Jeff Conyers said,
"We are grateful to win what truly is the most prestigious award from the Library of Congress. This award showcases how the dream Dolly had years ago has become one of the world's largest book gifting programs. She continues to express her pride in what the Imagination Library has become, and she is excited for the growth it is poised to experience moving forward. There is no doubt Dolly treasures being called 'The Book Lady' more than just about anything."
The United Nations General Assembly designates a number of "international days" to mark important aspects of human life and history, including International Literacy Day on September 8. For more information on International Literacy Day, visit en.unesco.org/commemorations/literacyday.

The goal of the statewide expansion is to make books available to children ages 0-5 in every zip code in Kansas. Currently Kansas has 82 programs covering portions of 77 of Kansas' 105 counties.
"We know that the most important factor in a child's success in school and in life is an early introduction to books and being read to at home," Governor Kelly said. "In Kansas, we are proud to connect our kids with the resources they need to succeed through the statewide expansion of the Imagination Library program. I want to thank those partners who have worked tirelessly to bring this program to their communities for building a strong foundation for this expansion."
Plans for Expansion
The first year will focus on:

Providing start-up funding from the Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five (PDG).
"As a father of a young child, I know the act of reading to our children is instrumental to their development. Shortly after our son was born, we immediately enrolled him in Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. All children in the state of Kansas should have the ability to participate in this program, as well. I applaud the bipartisan effort to ensure that all children in the state of Kansas, from ages zero to five, will have the opportunity to enhance and enrich their lives with books from Dolly Parton's Imagination Library," Representative Waymaster said.
See if there is a program in your area. Continue to check availability to register as we expand programs across the state!

Deputy President concludes working visit to USA
Motlanthe had led the South African delegation to the 19th International Aids Conference on Sunday, which presented new scientific knowledge and offered many opportunities for structured dialogue on the major issues facing the global response to HIV.
The conference, which started on Sunday was held under the theme 'Turning the Tide Together', which had been chosen to emphasise how a global and decisive commitment is crucial to change the course of the epidemic now that science is presenting promising results in HIV treatment and biomedical prevention.
In his address during the opening session of the conference, Motlanthe told delegates that South Africa has made significant strides in the fight against HIV and Aids over the last two decades.
Among the achievements are 1.7 million people being placed on treatment; 20 million people having tested for HIV during the country's long testing campaign; and the decline of mother to child transmission from 8 percent in 2008 to 3.5 percent in 2010 and to 2.7 percent in 2011, the Deputy President said.
He also thanked the people and government of the United States of America and multilateral agencies including UNAIDS for their support to South Africa in its efforts to combat HIV and urged them to continue their support to South Africa and the other African countries in the ongoing efforts to create an HIV free world.
Motlanthe was accompanied by the Minister of Health, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, Deputy Minister of Women, Children and People with Disabilities, Hendrietta Bogopane-Zulu and Deputy Minister of Social Development Maria Ntuli.
The conference was attended by an estimated 25 000 people, including people living with HIV, social scientists, clinicians, activists, researchers and journalists.

Hi again! It's taken me awhile to find hair care products that I really like. I haven't always liked my hair, in fact, I used to hate it. I've always thought my hair was pretty thin and lifeless. When I was younger, my hair care was just this: shampoo (and maybe condition if I felt like it). I basically just used whatever shampoo and conditioner I could find, even if it wasn't meant for my hair type. Before we start off with the routine, I want to let you guys know what my hair type is. I have thin and fairly dry hair. I wash my hair 2-3 times a week, and while it's definitely oily on the 2nd or 3rd day, it could be easily fixed with some dry shampoo. I try not to use heat on my hair unless I absolutely have to, so my hair is definitely a lot healthier than it has been in the past. So, here's my affordable (all drugstore products) hair care routine!
The obvious first step is to shampoo my hair. I love the Pantene Sheer Volume Shampoo because it's absolutely perfect for my hair type. I've spent forever trying to find a shampoo that consistently makes my hair extra full and shiny. This one totally does the trick and I'd recommend it to any fine-haired gals out there. That being said, anything by Pantene is great, so no matter what you're hair type, you'll surely be able to find one that makes your hair glow.
Next, I use the conditioner that's meant to be used with the shampoo. I'm almost always have used the conditioner that matches with the shampoo I'm using. I use this on the ends of my hair (I never put it on my roots, as that can actually weigh down your hair and make it look more oily). I then leave it on for roughly two minutes then rinse.
This stuff is holy grail status. I've noticed such a huge difference in my hair since I started using it. I had honestly never tried a deep conditioning treatment before using this stuff, and I swear I'm never going back. Now, I only use this about once a week or maybe once every other week, just because I feel like it isn't necessary to do this each time you wash your hair. I still shampoo and condition like usual and after I've rinsed out the Pantene conditioner, I'll apply this to the ends of my hair and wait the three minutes.
After washing my hair, I always apply this penetrating oil by OGX for extra shine and softness. My hair feels amazing when I use this, and the oil smells so good. I definitely recommend using a hair oil if you have fairly dry hair. It will help to replenish moisture and give life to dull hair.
I love using a serum in my hair, and this one is so good. It really does make your hair really shiny and smooth, as the product claims. I just put a small amount in the palm of my hand and run is through my hair, focusing on the ends.
I finally gave in and began using a leave in conditioner. It really has made a huge difference in the texture of my hair. It doesn't tangle as easily and doesn't look stringy and lifeless at the end of the day! This one by Aussie is so inexpensive and it works wonders.
If I'm going to be using heat on my hair (I try to avoid using heat whenever I can though), I use this heat protectant. Protecting your hair from heat tools is so important if you want your hair to continue to look healthy and shiny. I love this one and it smells amazing!
This isn't technically a "step" but I had to include this product because it is probably my most used hair care product. I LOVE try shampoo, and I've tried so many different ones. This one by Dove is by far my favorite, and I've absolutely fallen in love with the scent the way it makes my hair look/feel. Since I only wash my hair 2-3 times a week, I always need a little hair pick-me-up on 2nd or 3rd day hair. I've also tried the one by Batiste and the one by TRESemmé. These ones are both awesome by the Dove Dry Shampoo is my absolute favorite!
What are some of the hair care products that you can't live without?
This is such a great post, girlie! I can't definitely relate to your frustration for years in finding products that actually work well for your hair. For years, I tried everything to no avail and I didn't know how important it was for me to keep up with my trims, so my hair always looked dry, dull, and damaged. I used to use the Tresemmé heat protectant, it was my holy grail, and for some reason I completely forgot about it after having tried other products. You've just reminded me of it, I need to check it out again! Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you're having a great start to your Monday so far!
Such a great post! Thank you for sharing with us!
That was me 3 years ago, i would use whatever shampoo i found in the bathroom and didnt even bother about using a conditioner , but all that changed when i saw the damage to my hair. I use Tresemme conditioners ,they are quite gentle on my hair. You have a great collection here.
Oh By the way , i'm following you on Google Friends Connect , hope you can follow using my blog link www.stylenbeautylounge.com , Thanks .
Great article! A hair care routine is definetely something I can relate to!
This is great - thanks for all the suggestions! I'm glad to hear that the Dove Dry Shampoo works well - I've been using the Living Proof one for awhile, but it gets expensive!
I haven't heard of that one! Is it worth the buy?:) Dove is a great alternative to more expensive brands!
It's a fabulous dry shampoo option!
Love drugstore products. I love that tresseme hair protector!
I LOVE and swear by this penetrating oil!
I love the Garnier Fructus oil it makes my hair feel amazing!
Beautiful products and they are all affordable, lovely.
Great post. Thank you for sharing all these product to us.

Former Hibs' fans' favourite Leigh Griffiths has offered to replace christmas presents stolen during a housebreaking in the capital.
Michael Wright, an avid hearts' fan and season ticket holder at Tynecastle was in his house in the Inch area when housebreakers entered on Tuesday morning and stole money for gifts, as well as the family's white Ford car which was parked outside.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "Within ten minutes details of the vehicle were immediately circulated to police officers across Edinburgh and a 'stolen' marker was added to the Police National Computer.
"We would urge the public to always lock their doors prior to retiring for the evening or leaving your home unoccupied.


Discussion in 'Olympus Cameras' started by barry13, Feb 17, 2015.
However the picture is totally different!
1. Can someone confirm the LC-62D is the original?
2. I remember another thread where someone was complaining about the cap and an alternative was recommended, but I can't find the thread... any other recommendations?
The one from B&H looks like the original. The one listed on Adorama does not. How they can both have the same part number is beyond me.
On the other hand, the inset releases on the original kind of bug me so I might just drop $10.00 on Amazon for the "other" one and see if it feels better.
Thanks for the inadvertent heads up.
Get couple generic caps for 99c and never worry about breaking or loosing them.
Mine actually fell apart shortly after I got the lens. Nasty sharp metal edges when it came apart too. I don't like the new "pro" lens caps much, which seem to manage to be overengineered, flimsy, and heavy all at once. Agree about getting generic ones, I don't care much about whether my caps have the olympus logo or not.
I agree that a 3rd party cap might be better. I don't think the OEM Olympus cap is particularly secure.
On the inside of the original cap it says "LC-62D 62mm", so it looks like it's the one.
Get a Sigma Art lens cap instead, they're far better made and don't cut you when they fall apart.
I notified Adorama and they replied with a very nice email apologizing for the incorrect photo of the cap on their website. They expect to have this corrected very soon.
I replaced my 12-40mm f/2.8 lens cap with a Nikon one, NILC62, which I find better for ease of removal and retention.
yeah, i replaced my entire olympus lineup with generics.
Would you mind sharing what "generic" brands are good? I too like the large edge pinch caps, the old Olympus center pinch style.
No logos would be a lot less conspicuous.
I bet they all come from the same (or 2 or 3 factories). I find a buyer with free shipping and request to buy multiple sizes at once for shipping convenience. (37, 46, 58, 62, etc).
I do the same for step-up filter adapters, to complete my kit all at once.
LC-62B is the center pinch Olympus lens cap like the photo lightmonkey posted. The few generic caps I have purchased seem to have a habit of popping off, $5.00 for the LC-62B is pretty inexpensive.
I've ordered the LC-62B from Amazon/Adorama, about $12 shipped (no prime on this item)... Should have it next week.
I don't know what the LC-62 A or C caps look like or even if they exist.
I think I'd go with something like the LC-62B. Don't care for the LC-62D.
I received the LC-62B... Fits great, looks great, is easier to use with the extra squeeze points, and weighs less.
Just checked Adoramas' Ebay listing for the Olympus LC-62D lens cap and they are still showing the LC-62 lens cap!
The -D cap seems less likely to get knocked off accidently. With the -B cap, the outer release points can be hit as the camera brushes against your body.

Concert Review: Afghan Whigs
The Afghan Whigs made a compelling comeback Friday night at The Barby Club in Tel Aviv as part of their 2012 reunion tour.

They came on stage to a surge of cheers and whistles from over 800 screaming fans jam-packed into a sold-out arena. Greg Dulli, The Afghan Whigs' frontman and chief songwriter, greeted the crowd with a hearty "Shabbat Shalom!" The Whig's opened with "Crime Scene Part One," the first song on their 1996 album Black Love. A blast from the past, bringing back the Pearl Jam, Silverchair era of teenage angst and grungy rock of the '90s, the set included songs like "Gentlemen" and "When We Two Parted" from their commercially successful 1993 album Gentlemen, which had the entire crowd head bopping and singing along to every word.
"This is a great opportunity for me to see them since they've been off the radar for so many years!" said Whigs fan and recent immigrant Mia Weinman from New Jersey.
"I had to come all the way to Israel to see them perform!" Along with their classic alternative grunge rock songs, the Whigs are also known for their covers of R&B and funk numbers.
"Let's make some babies, ya'll!" said Dulli, before getting behind his piano to perform his cover of "Lovecrimes," a song originally recorded by the young R&B artist Frank Ocean in 2011.
This year's tour is The Whigs first in 14 years, and Friday night's performance was the first half of their two-part stint in Tel Aviv – a rare opportunity to experience the classic '90s underground, indie, alternative rock scene that one would not expect to find anywhere in the Middle East.
The Afghan Whigs will be continuing their tour next month in Australia.

Cytomegalovirus ureteritis as a cause of renal failure in a child infected with the human immunodeficiency virus
Brigitta U. Mueller, Karen Mac Kay, L. Bryan Cheshire, Peter L. Choyke, Brenda Kitchen, Brigitte Widemann, Philip A. Pizzo
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is common in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus. Hemorrhagic cystitis and tubulointerstitial nephritis have been recognized as complications of CMV infection, and these complications lead to hematuria and compromised renal function. We describe a case of CMV infection of the ureters in a child with vertically acquired human immunodeficiency virus infection; the child presented with severe suprapubic pain, and prolonged macroscopic hematuria and intermittent acute renal failure developed subsequently.

"Breakfast. Depart Amman to visit the town of Ajlun with its fortress; one of the best preserved examples of medieval Arab military architecture in the entire Middle East, which was once governed by Saladin. Enjoy the magnificent view into the Jordan Valley. Proceed to visit the Greco-Roman City of Jerash, also known as the City of the thousand columns. Jerash showcases the grandeur of Imperial Rome (and is sometimes referred to as the Pompeii of the East). It is considered one of the largest, and most well preserved sites of Roman architecture in the World outside Italy. As the most pristine Decapolis City (meaning ten cities in Greek) in the modern world, Jerash's prosperity can be admired in the colonnaded main street and lovely Oval Piazza. Proceed to the Old Town Of Salt which is situated 29 km north of Amman. Salt is one of Jordan's longest continuously inhabited cities, it contains a remarkable architectural and civic heritage including many recently opened museums. Return to Amman."

Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis addressed a party rally in the city of Megara, western Attica, on Friday evening, urging citizens to participate in the October 4 general elections and stressing that "no one must be absent on October 4."
Focusing on the main opposition PASOK party, Karamanlis said that it "is distorting things and creating false images".
"They are applying themselves to vagueness, they are sharing out bounced promises, they are proposing dangerous recipes," the prime minister said and added that when PASOK's leader "limits himself to general references, the citizens must not wonder about what he is saying but about what he is concealing."
Karamanlis stressed that the "dilemma for all is if one shall proceed with confidence and a clear plan or leave the country to the dangers of irresponsibility and the absence of any plan."
The prime minister reminded that in 1981 the debt was below 2 billion euros and the PASOK governments delivered it one hundred times higher in 2004. He stressed that unemployment is currently at lower levels than those in 2004 and that "PASOK cannot pass by it, of course it is not in its interest, but it is the truth."
He also pointed out that no one can forget that until the crisis broke out there had been improvement in all the economic indexes, a stable decrease in unemployment and tangible results in the economy and in society.
He mentioned that all that time PASOK was reacting with "a no to everything and was acting as if it did not see any crisis, claiming that everything was a pretext and an alibi of the government."
Karamanlis also said that all the necessary measures must be taken now and not tomorrow and the country must not be allowed to become trapped in adventures.
"If we believe that difficult situations are handled with pleasant recipes, the consequences will be hard for all to bear," he noted.
Karamanlis referred in detail to all the public projects that the government has promoted and planned in western Attica. He also noted that arrangements concerning university asylum will change so that this institution will not be identified with illegality, arbitrariness and crime, addingthat a few dozen people cannot block streets every day and promised that this state of affairs will not continue.
Lastly, Karamanlis stressed that the government respects the rights of immigrants who are employed legally in the country and is seeking their social incorporation.
"No, however, to the uncontrolled waves of illegal immigration, no to the modern day slave drivers," he concluded.
Main opposition PASOK party leader George Papandreou, addressing a party rally in the northern city of Ioannina on Friday evening, invited Greeks "to mobilise in order to enable Greece to leave decline behind and to enter the path of creation, development and hope" while terming this course a "course of national recovery."
Papandreou also appealed to voters of the ruling New Democracy (ND) party who "were disappointed by the government over the past six years."
The PASOK leader referred twice during his address to President Karolos Papoulias, who is from this region, saying that he remembered the era when, being a student in the '70s, he used to visit the encumbent President of the Republic in Ioannina.
"We do not have a passion for power and for the chairs, but a passion for Greece which is awakening to change the course of the country," he further said.
Papandreou accused the government as being the one to blame for the "inexistant state" today, a state that "is consciously indifferent about the economic and social cost of its choices and the only cost that preoccupied it was the political one."
He went on to say that the path which the country has before it, and which he is proposing, is not easy but it is strewn with social justice, hope and optimism, while stressing that two diammetrically different policies are clashing in these elections.
Lastly, Papandreou referred to the measures that his government will take, if it wins the elections, during the first 100 days, measures which, as he said, "will tackle the problems of the big debt which it shall inherit from the New Democracy party, of recession, market immobility and low growth rates."
