First five states approved for SSBCI funds
The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced today that five states — Hawaii, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan and West Virginia — have had their State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) capital programs approved by the agency. Not all programs to be run by these states have been announced at this time, but they include: HI-CAP Invest program, which will support impact funds; GROWKS Angel Capital Support Program; Maryland's Neighborhood Business Works Venture Debt Program; and, West Virginia's seed capital co-investment fund.
Maryland TEDCO reported that it will receive $50 million of the state's SSBCI funding and will split those resources between four existing programs targeting technology-based businesses and entrepreneurs. Three programs — the Venture Equity Fund, Venture Capital Limited Partnership Equity program, and Seeds Funds Equity program — are primarily focused on venture capital and startup funding. The fourth, the Social Impact Fund, provides investment and support to entrepreneurs who demonstrate economic or social disadvantage. Through these programs, TEDCO will continue to leverage its relationships with top-tier technology companies, entrepreneurs, and investors in the state while partnering with universities, regional business accelerators and incubators, and other organizations.
"[We] want to express our thanks to our friends at [the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development] for their leadership on getting us to this point," said Maryland TEDCO CEO Troy LeMaile-Stovall in correspondence with SSTI. "And this point is about investing in individuals and communities that are underrepresented in our innovation ecosystem, while also creating additional funds for TEDCO to invest in firms that will start and scale in Maryland — generating a more equitable future."
Fifty-one other state and territory jurisdictions submitted their capital program applications by the deadline and will be hoping to see their approvals quickly follow this first announcement.

Tales & Traditions: Miss Rodeo Oklahoma- Vinita, OK
Calli Newman is our 2017 Miss Rodeo Oklahoma and it's truly an honor to have her let me into her heart, and barn, to learn about how she overcame obstacles and made her wildest dreams come true..
Take a look into Calli's story here:
"A rodeo queen isn't just a public relations person for the sport of rodeo. She is also a PR person for everyone involved in rodeo; the farmers and ranchers who provide the livestock, the veterinarians and anyone who helps put the show on," described Newman.
Calli stated that doing anything to make the rodeo move smoother is part of a rodeo queen's job.
"It's a big circle and each and every person is just as important as the last," said Newman.
The circle involves everyone from the stock contractors, contestants, and rodeo queens to the farmers who grow the corn for feed and the ranchers who produce the cattle for the stock. A circle that is less obvious to those unfamiliar with agriculture and western sport.
"We must have the producers, not only in our industry, to provide for the sport of rodeo. Those animals are our livelihood. We have to be able to promote that. It's a dying breed," admitted Newman. "Our farming and ranching industry is declining and we have to be able to promote it."
To some the industry may be a dying breed but as long as we have rodeo queens - just like Calli - promoting her way of life, the western culture will be alive and well.
"The agriculturalists, the farmers, we have to have them to feed our cattle, to feed our horses," said Newman.
For many, the connection between ranching and rodeo is less clear than other inner industry ties. But when it comes down to it, rodeo is an ode to the western way of life and where it all began - the ranch.
"We must have cattle. Those cattle have to be doctored, they have to be worked," said Newman. "Rodeo creates an image of what it's like working cattle on the range. The horses aren't born ready to be ridden. They have to be broke. That's what the rough stock events represent."

The latest MED BRIEF on "The success pillars of a national innovation system in Maghreb" is available here.
Abstract: The perspective of economic growth supported by innovation activity has now proved ineffective for Maghreb countries (Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia). Our analysis under the angle of the national innovation system emphasizes the main causes such as structural weaknesses and lack of time-consuming coordination among the actors of innovation. Our recommendations are based on proposing an appropriate systemic model of innovation that takes into account the specificities of these three countries. The pillars of success of this model are first "Structural": Setting up an effective "support structures" for innovation and entrepreneurship, offering appropriate tools and complementary services; Second, "Coordination": Coordinated coherent interactions between public and private actors of innovation in the development of new production methods and the dissemination of knowledge; And third, "Governance": The rehabilitation of the role of the Government in education, in ensuring and overall coherence of the actor's actions (regulation protecting innovation, financing of innovation, supporting scientific research activities and an education system favoring the development of a new generation of innovative entrepreneurs).


In 1634, two small ships, the Ark and the Dove (replica shown here) landed on a small island in the Potomac River and thanked God for a successful voyage, marking the first Catholic spot in the New World. The voyagers then sailed back downriver, and found a place to settle, establishing the colony that would become Maryland, at St. Mary's City.
Every time I look at one of these ships, I can't help but imagine the skill and bravery, or perhaps desperation, that drove them across a vast ocean to uncharted shores. Even while moored at the dock, they evoke a sense of adventure, and hope.

British Government Goes Ahead With £120 million 'festival of Brexit' Plans
Boris Johnson plans a post-Brexit festival of Great Britain and Northern Ireland schedulled for 2022 to celebrate independence and sovereignity of UK from the European Union; former prime minister Theresa May's grand idea which the PM had been advised to skip///BY CRIMSON TAZVINZWA
Dean Creamer, a delivery director for the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham is the point man of planning for the £120m project – dubbed the "festival of Brexit" by critics – which is due to take place in 2022, according to the Guardian reporting.
This is only Leicester///CRIMSON TAZVINZWA
However, figures from arts institutions have privately expressed concern about the project, which some say is likely to alienate remain-supporting visitors at museums and galleries that are expected to take part.
There had been previous warnings that the idea – announced by May in 2018 as an initiative that would "strengthen our precious union" – could inflame tensions in Northern Ireland, coming a year after the centenary of Irish partition and on the 100th anniversary of the start of the Irish civil war.
The festival was billed as a showcase for "the UK's unique strengths in creativity and innovation" with echoes of the 1851 Great Exhibitionand the 1951 festival of Britain.

Broken English, a Berlin-based shop that stocks British products, doesn't fly the Union Jack outside its door anymore.
The British flag has become a source of shame for the shop's new owner, Munich-born Antje Blank.
Blank, an avowed Anglophile, says the flag that once, for her, "oozed a sense of cool," has now become tainted and stands for "insularity and borderline racism" following the Brexit vote.
"It has been hijacked by the Tory party, the Brexiteers and the Farage people," Blank said, referring to Nigel Farage, the leader of the Brexit Party. The UK is currently gearing up for a Dec. 12 election, prompted by an impasse in parliament over Brexit withdrawal agreements.
Related: Boris Johnson's Brexit deal: What's in it and how is it different from Theresa May's version?
The Broken English shop is a Berlin institution that provides homesick British expats and anglophile Germans with everything from Tetley's tea and Branston Pickle to Cadbury's Chocolate and Walker Biscuits.
But Brexit has shaken the shop's existence. Its long-time owner, Dale Carr, who is from Sheffield in the UK, closed the store earlier this year. Although she had plans to retire, the prospect of all the paperwork Brexit would entail to import goods to Germany from the UK was the final nail in the coffin.
Blank, who spent 15 years living in the UK and was a huge fan of the store, was devastated when she heard it was going to close. Instead, she decided to take it over from Carr and give Broken English new life. It was also a way to boost her family's income, which had dropped as a result of the Brexit referendum, she said. Blank's husband is an academic who travels to the UK every week — his salary dropped as the British pound tumbled.
Blank worries that Brexit will also prove challenging for her new store. The shop imports specialized British produce from many small, family-owned companies who may find it difficult to keep up with exports if Britain leaves the European Union.
Related: Statement pieces: Fashion designers worry over Brexit's cost to UK industry
"They probably won't be able to afford to export to us. To fill out the forms that will be necessary for every single product to be exported across the border," Blank said.
If the UK crashes out of the EU without a deal, exporting and importing goods will likely be even harder. "Operation Yellowhammer," a government report detailing the consequences of a no-deal Brexit, show that businesses are not well prepared to handle such a scenario. Small businesses are likely to be even more affected.
To ease the pressure, Blank's plan is to replace some of the lost produce with goods from Ireland, which — although further away from Berlin — will still allow her to continue to import under EU rules. In fact, Ireland has been the EU's fastest growing economy over the past three years of Brexit talks.
As for the change in product sourcing, Blank believes her customers will understand.
"Those customers talk about Brexit every day," Blank said. The British reflect on it with "a sense of slight shame and exasperation. Germans treat it with complete bemusement," she added. "It's a feeling that they've all gone bonkers, but it will be alright in the end."
Blank is skeptical that the long-haggled Brexit will actually come to fruition. "They will come to their senses."
She herself sees the UK's decision to leave the EU as "monstrous stupidity."
"I think it's a shambles," she said. "I find it's a very backwards move and a very insular move."
But even if the shop ends up stocking produce from Ireland, the name will stay the same.
"It will be quite prophetic if we call ourselves Broken English and the UK opts for a hard Brexit."
In the meantime, Blank is considering flying the Saltire — the Scottish Flag — outside her shop. Many of her customers approve of the idea.
Related: How much will a 25% tariff hurt sales of Scotch?
"Because we have a lot of Scottish customers, and a lot of German people who enjoy Scotland."
But one thing won't change. The shop's bestseller: Marmite, the quintessentially British yeasty spread with a "love it or hate it" following.
Broken English shoppers should be able to stay well-stocked with the Britsh delicacy. "We do Marmite from a number of different distributors. Some are in the UK and some in Germany," Blank said. "I am hopeful they will be able to supply us even if there is a hard Brexit."

Labour's Uxbridge candidate could be the first person in history to oust a sitting British
The UK political history books may well have to be ripped up as a 25 year-old Iranian-born candidate tries to topple Boris Johnson in his constituency in the upcoming election. Can the unthinkable happen?
Ali Milani is Johnson's Labour challenger in the west London seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip. He was born in Tehran and moved to the UK at the age of 5 where he lived in social (public) housing with his family – his upbringing couldn't contrast more starkly from that of the 55 year-old Eton- and Oxford-educated Johnson.
Johnson is defending a 5,034 majority, but one that was more than halved at the 2017 general election. If Milani can secure a five percent swing in favor of Labour then he will unseat the UK prime minister, who would then become the first in UK political history to suffer the humiliation.

By Crimson Tazvinzwa///Prime Minister Boris Johnson's maiden election campaign in dissaray after it emerges a minister in his cabinet used a fake video to discredit his opponent.
Mr Boris Johnson's election campaign launch marred by the resignation of one of his ministers, a gaffe about the victims of a deadly blaze at Grenfeel Tower in London and a doctored video of an opponent released by his party.
Jacob Rees-Mogg has apologised "profoundly" for suggesting that residents of Grenfell tower should have used their "common sense" to escape the catastrophic fire of 2017 which killed 72 people.
The PM called for a snap December 12 general election in a bid to 'break the Brexit deadlock' that he says has paralysed Britain for more than three years.
Conservative Party Chairman James Cleverly spent whole Wednesday defending distributing a doctored video clip of a rival Labour Party politician instead of touting Johnson's election campaign launch.

"Grenfell Tower would not have happened to wealthy Londoners" – Corbyn's speech

Below is the full text of Jeremy Corbyn's speech responding to the first public inquiry report on Grenfell.
Mr Speaker, I want to thank the Prime Minister for an advance copy of his statement. I want to start by paying tribute to the survivors of the fire, and those family members who have campaigned with dignity for justice these past two years. 72 people lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower fire of June 2017, a horror that not only rocked that community but that shook an entire nation.
It brought a community together to help and it must bring our nation together to say never again. It was a tragedy and an avoidable tragedy. All the survivors deserve a new home and the support they need. All those responsible for this avoidable tragedy must be brought to justice and every necessary measure must be put in place to prevent a fire like Grenfell ever happening again.
We welcome the report of the first phase of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry which we will study in detail. We expect the government and other agencies cited will respond in full to the recommendations it contains. However, given the limited scope of the inquiry agreed by government, and the fact that phase 1 only looks at what happened on the night of 14 June 2017, many questions inevitably remain unanswered and the recommendations do not cover the range of issues that need urgent action from Ministers.
The Prime Minister talks about the "whole truth" but that is not yet with us. In light of the particular focus on the actions of the London Fire Brigade in phase 1 of the inquiry report, we urge that the recommendations made of the London Fire Brigade are given the full response they require.
At the same time, we pay tribute to the heroic actions of firefighters in our country every day, including on the night of the Grenfell Tower fire. While our natural instinct is to run from danger, they are trained to run towards it. Those brave firefighters saved lives that night and without their public service many more people would have died.
The government's response to the Grenfell Tower fire has been too slow and too weak on every front, from rehousing survivors to dealing with Grenfell-style ACM cladding on hundreds of other tower blocks across the country. The Prime Minister and the government must now act urgently on their failures since the Grenfell Tower fire:
The failure to learn the lessons from previous high-rise fires with no proper response to coroners' recommendations made in 2013 following the Lakanal House and Shirley Towers fires.
· The failure to rehouse survivors with some families still living in hotels and in temporary accommodation more than two years on.
· The failure to re-clad blocks identified with dangerous, Grenfell-style cladding. Disgracefully 8 in 10 residential blocks are still yet to have that ACM cladding replaced.
· And the failure to identify suspect non-ACM cladding with tests on potentially dangerous cladding still not complete more than two years on.
The government's response has been inadequate, uncaring and frankly insulting. Grenfell Tower would not have happened to wealthy Londoners. It happened to poor and mainly migrant Londoners.
I've met with Grenfell survivors on many occasions since that dreadful night and they have all emphasised the wonderful community that existed around Grenfell Tower. That is what working-class life is like in London. And while this phase of the report makes criticism of the London Fire Brigade, we should remember; it was not firefighters that deregulated building safety standards. It wasn't firefighters who ignored the concerns of tenants. It wasn't firefighters who ignored a coroner's report and failed to put sprinklers in high rise blocks and it wasn't firefighters who put flammable cladding on Grenfell Tower.
Likewise, Mr Speaker it's disgraceful that over two years on there has been no major review or assessment of the 'stay put' policy. The Fire Brigades Union has raised this with government ministers on numerous occasions. Concerns about the 'stay put' policy were raised with government years before Grenfell. Will the government today stop dragging its feet and act?
The past nine years have seen this Conservative government's cuts degrade our Fire and Rescue service. We now have fewer firefighters, fewer fire appliances and slower response times. While firefighters selflessly risk their lives to protect others, the government has chosen not to provide them with the resources and support they need.
Between 2010 and 2016, the government cut central funding by 28% in real terms, followed by a further cut of 15% by 2020. These cuts have led to 11,000 fewer firefighters (a 20% cut). As Mayor of London, the now Prime Minister was at the forefront of the cuts to our Fire Service. In the eight years that he was Mayor, the London Fire Brigade was required to make gross savings of over £100m, cutting of 27 fire appliances, 552 firefighters, 324 support staff, two fire rescue units, three training appliances and closing ten London fire stations.
Mr Speaker, Grenfell must never happen again. It happened because of the negligence and recklessness of a Conservative government, a Conservative Council and a Conservative Mayor of London. The night of 14 June 2017 will never be forgotten but just as importantly it must never happen again. The fact that this government has dragged its feet – that the exact same cladding is on similar high rise blocks, that sprinklers have not been fitted, that thousands of people will go to bed tonight and tomorrow night not feeling safe – should shame this government.
Mr Speaker, I pay tribute to the firefighters. I pay tribute to the local community. But most of all I pay tribute to the solemn dignity of those survivors and bereaved who have continued to campaign for justice, so that no one else ever has to suffer like they have. Whoever forms the next government owes it to them to say: never again.

For clad sheet metals, springback behavior is directly related to the elastic-plastic properties such as Young's modulus, the yield strength, workhardening and the Bauschinger effect of each metal layer. The aim of this study is to understand the springback characteristics of the clad sheet metals in draw bending based on the accurate FE simulation corresponding to experimental data on stainless-steel clad aluminum sheets. In the discussion, the special emphasis is placed on the influence of the Bauschinger effect. For that purpose, in the simulation, two types of material models, one is the classical isotropic hardening model (no Bauschinger effect included) and the other Yoshida-Uemori kinematic hardening model which describes the Bauschinger effect of materials properly, were used and these numerical results were compared.

Q: Wifi is working, but can't connect to the Internet I have a Linksys E1200 v2. I just flashed it with DD-WRT. Wifi is working properly and the signal is pretty strong. However, it won't connect to the Internet so it must be misconfigured. Is there an obvious culprit? Here is a screenshot of the DD-WRT control panel:

It seems the WAN has no IPv4 address configured, but I am not sure what to do. DHCP should already be enabled as far as I can tell. Thanks.
Note: the router is plugged into my ISP's modem/router, though that has not been an issue with my current/previous routers.
[edit1]
Here are some basic WAN and IP settings.

[edit2]
Same issue after switching to FreshTomato.

[edit3]
I forgot to mention that I have three other wifi routers that all work properly in the same context.

A:
Note: the router is plugged into my ISP's modem/router, though that has not been an issue with my current/previous routers.

This does not mean that it is not a problem now. My internet access got blocked once because my router has made some improper request during setup.
Try and plug the cable in a computer and see whether there is still internet on the cable that goes into your router.

A: I am not convinced that DHCP is the correct way to connect to your ISP modem/router.
Most of my routers have been configured with a username and password to authenticate. My ISPs have always used PPPoE for this.
For this to work the modem/router of the ISP would be set to "bridge mode" (i.e. the modem would pass everything from your DD-WRT router to the ISP directly. It would not have a DHCP server to give out IP addresses/configuration).
In both of your screenshots I can see that your ISP's modem/router is not giving out an IP address via DHCP (the DNS servers in FreshTomato are OpenDNS servers). As @Harm Campmans said above, some ISPs could block any new equipment connected to a modem.
EDIT:
I cannot see any problems with your configuration  if DHCP is the right option. You could try the MAC address cloning option and use the same MAC address your functioning router has on its WAN interface. AFAIK To receive an IP address via DHCP your modem would forward your router's MAC address to your ISP's DHCP server.  While I assume that they do not filter access via MAC addresses, as we do not know which ISP you are using the requirements are speculation.
Do you remember needing a username/password before when you used your other working routers?

A: The problem was that I had a different router already plugged into the ISP device. Since the ISP device was in bridged mode, only one of the two routers was connecting to the Internet. What I ended up doing was daisy chain the routers such that device A was plugged into device B which was plugged into device C. Now the Internet works properly on all devices.

Life Christian Center was founded in 1976 by Pastor Keith and Alice Hendrickson. In September of 1976 the church began meeting at the Oak Tree Farms Clubhouse. Then in 1978 ground was broken on the site where the church remains located today. After 23 years of dedication and faithful service Pastor Keith and Alice desired to retire and pass the baton onto a new pastor. On Sunday November 14, 1999 Bill Virgin officially stepped in as the Pastor of Life Christian Center at which time the Hendricksons remained members as well as a vital part of the staff. In August of 2004 our founder and faithful member, Pastor Keith, graduated into eternity to be with the Lord. We will miss him but look forward to seeing him again. Alice continues to be a vital part of this Ministry. The church has been abundantly blessed and continues to thrive and grow as a part of the Lee's Summit community.
Pastors Bill and Laurie have been in the ministry for over 26 years. Bill attended Boise State University and later met his wife Laurie at Christ For the Nations Institute where they both graduated. Bill went on to receive his Doctorate of Theology degree from Jacksonville Theological Seminary.
Bill and Laurie felt God begin to move them in a new direction. In the fall of 1999 after a period of traveling and itinerate ministering, they answered the call to pastor Life Christian Center in Lee's Summit, Missouri; where they have experienced God's tremendous favor as they continue to build His kingdom.
Bill and Laurie desire to see every member achieve their God given purpose and be planted and rooted deeply in His Word. Bill and Laurie have been married for 36 years and they have four daughters Abigail, Joy, Aimee and Lindsay.

From housing Cuban doctors during the pandemic to digital nomad
work pad - The Pegasus, Jamaica promotes a new offer.
By David Jessop, Consultant to the Caribbean Council
Despite the understandable desire by some in tourism to talk up a 'return to normal', it is hard to avoid the conclusion that the industry's recovery from the pandemic will be slow and uncertain, largely because infection rates in the region's principal overseas markets continue to rise.
This suggests that the timing of any return to pre-pandemic tourism buoyancy now depends on factors far beyond the region's control and full recovery is unlikely to occur this or year or even in 2021.
Unfortunately, the spread of COVID-19 is evolving in the region and its key visitor source markets in different ways and over dissimilar time scales, implying that finding a viable basis for the full return of air and sea lift to the region will likely be complicated and slow until a vaccine is found. To make matters worse, economic uncertainty now faces many mid-market travellers in North America and Europe.
The hiatus in arrivals helps make the case that it is time for a long overdue discussion about how tourism related economy might be transformed, future proofed, and the industry's longer term vitality be better harnessed to encourage broader economic growth.
'Haphazard' growth
Unlike most Caribbean industries, tourism has grown in a haphazard unintegrated manner, powering its way from the 1990s on to dominate much of the Caribbean economy. This happened as preferential arrangements for agriculture and commodities were attenuating, disposable income was growing rapidly in North America and Europe, and governments were happy to regard the industry as an alternative, seemingly limitless way to rapidly generate economic growth and revenues.
What the pandemic has proved is that the critical role the industry now plays requires greater strategic consideration so that the economic demand it creates encourages not only linkages with the wider economy but also catalyses development, grows transferable skills and supports newer industries in ways that better balance the national economy.
While everything possible should be done by governments and the industry to facilitate tourism's short term recovery, the industry's economic dominance suggests that this should be coupled with a thorough going long-term analysis that explores how the pandemic may structurally change travel and tourism, and how a more strategic approach might reposition the industry so that it facilitates domestic growth.
The pandemic offers a unique opportunity to assess how a region with billions of dollars invested in fixed hospitality infrastructure, in a region unlikely to ever go out of tourism, might establish linkages that go far beyond the obvious such as agriculture and fisheries, and for example, be incentivised to link with and stimulate the growth of new services-based industries.
Port Barbados
A few days ago Barbados' Minister of Tourism and International Transport, Lisa Cummins, explained how the Barbados Government is hoping to turn the present crisis into an opportunity, and has developed plans that it hopes will make it the southern tourism hub of the Caribbean.
Speaking to the Barbados Hotel and Tourism Association (BHTA), she said that as a part of Government's tourism restructuring plans it was negotiating with the cruise lines to make the island the homeport for cruise traffic in the southern Caribbean. When the lines resume service, she said, this would see them developing itineraries that begin and end in Barbados.
She went on to link the initiative to helping the island's hotel sector by negotiating with the cruise lines integrated pre-and post-cruise stays which when finalised, would be incorporated into the new tourism products and marketing programmes government is developing.
Senator Cummins also explained that Government intends positioning the island as the southern regional hub for air travel, and as its deepens and expand its industry relationships will have as a part of its negotiating objective the inclusion of pre- or post-stay stopovers on the island for travellers passing through Barbados to other destinations.
The Minister also plans to develop hanger services for private planes; a new business strategy for Grantley Adams International Airport that would increase air traffic; placing emphasis on the resilient high-end luxury segment of the travel market; better forecasting of international air traffic and industry trends using big data available from regional and international sources; redesigning the private-public sector partnership approach to marketing; and developing the possibility of a PCR test before travellers board, based on a project developed by Heathrow airport.
In addition, the Barbados Government has said that it will create a much stronger training component for those who work in the sector and will develop a comprehensive approach that involves new green investment plans intended to make tourism fully renewable and conservation oriented.
Senator Cummins said that the overall objective will be to re-emerge from the COVID experience "with a tourism product that has been transformed, but also with a tourism worker that has been upskilled, retooled, retrained and repositioned, to be the frontline worker in a new tourism economy" to make Barbados "far more effective, efficient and competitive" than before.
By recognising the extraordinary range of onshore services and support which cruise ships require, by thinking long term (the island provided safe haven for cruise ships and helped repatriate crew), by taking advantage of the island's geographic location, by trying to find a practical way to lessen the enmity between the cruise lines and the hotels, and by supporting workers, it is attempting to deepen holistically its engagement with tourism's future.
Put another way what Barbados and Jamaica before it has been doing is thinking laterally about how tourism can bring wider benefits that are transformative.
By illustrating the critical economic importance of tourism, the pandemic has validated the case for a better integrated, and more socially relevant industry. It is indicating that with thought and sensitive direction, tourism can come to be seen by all as a sustainable, beneficial, ecologically sound, socio-economic development tool.

The New Activities Committee is made up of student volunteers involved in different aspects of Imperial College Union Activities. The role of the committee is to oversee all applications and to help with the transition of the application process to a fully functional Club, Society or Project.
The reasons for this might be that your idea is too similar to an already existing society. In this case, the Committee would recommend that you engage with the existing society and work together on your idea. Another reason could be that the application itself is not as strong as it could be. If this was the outcome, the committee would recommend that you work with the Student Activities Coordinator to strengthen your application and reapply. If you are unhappy with the outcome of this, you will be able to appeal the decision at the next New Activities Committee meeting the following month, addressing the feedback that you would have been given after the initial meeting.
The committee felt that your application was strong and you have shown you are a sustainable, active and proficient group. This is the most common result of an application. This result means that the Committee like your idea, though they feel it has room to grow. From this point you will be placed in the 'New Activities Incubator' (NAI or 'the Incubator'); this is a 'buffer' period whereby you receive support and training from the Activities Team to allow you to develop into becoming a fully-fledged Club, Society or Project. For more information on the New Activities Incubator please click here.


I love the depth and intricacy of the carving. And the energy of the imagery she chooses. This particular piece is from 1988, and you can see in subsequent paintings and other pieces how these shapes have evolved. However much or little of ceramic art Kerryn has done, these pieces jumped out at me for their monochrome finish and energy of line, and rang in my mind as another landmark for the carving I hope to pursue myself.
This piece is from 2001, and the carving and shapes have clearly evolved. I love the clean lines and the bold but simple presentation. The added element of the figure also caught my attention, since I hope to join the tile elements I've been working on with the figurative work I was working on last year. Having run about a hundred different renditions of that through my mind in the last few months, this image will serve as a note for the possibilities that I hadn't really considered consciously, though that ring true now that I've seen it.
This really should be my Fourth series, but I got overexcited right at the start… And progress is halting and then manic, but it is progress nonetheless. Even from the first one till the couple I'm working on currently, I can feel the shapes and textures and fluidity of form coming more naturally. This. This. This. I would do this forever if I didn't have other things to do and push, too.
I did get paralyzed on language for a while. Trying to find the right words was just getting stupid, everything was ridiculous and dissatisfying. Like I started to feel like my brain didn't work anymore, and that nothing was ever going to work, ever again. But that is not the case, and instead of waxing verbose and ponderous, I'm learning to cut right down to the chase with the text. Which is pretty much the point. An image and some words to tell the story, both feeding each other, ideally.
It's interesting watching the psychological part of this. I'm digging up a bunch of tender and raw and funny stuff from growing up, and it's weird how totally exhilarating and distressingly vulnerable that is. It leaves me feeling both very calm and a little bit scorched by the end of the day. But that's also the point. I don't want to do it if isn't getting at the crux of something.
(I know, I know, it's not a real source.) But it is a real word, and I love that it's an actual thing. I'm sure, being psychoanalysis, there are good and bad aspects, but for now, until I learn more, I am happy with the simple definition.
Karma Cat thought it was amazing and wanted all the bits to be her very own.
I am happier with the line quality, depth of carving and general boldness of this rendition. There is still text to add and some refinement of the shapes, but this is where it's at until things firm up a little bit.
This one is going to make me laugh every time I look at it. Waiting for it to firm so I can put the text on and refine shapes. Childhood playground games were mystifying to me.
And this one is going to be tricky with all the shapes of people, but I hope it'll portray the moment well. Stories will be revealed forthwith as I get text added.
And then there is KitKat, my tiny kitten. This was a hard one. The text was difficult and the shapes didn't behave at first. Which was an effect of wrestling the text. But I'm happy with where it's going now, except for that awkward bow at the bottom edge of the tile. Trimming is in order.
After bisque firing, I stained these tiles with Iron Oxide.
Then added 3D White glaze to the raised areas to accentuate the reductive carving and draw out the graphic novel aesthetic- boldly defined images and texture. And I am delighted with how they turned out.
These are some of the books I've read before and been reading recently to get visual ideas for image making, and language ideas for what words to use.
They are: Building Stories by Chris Ware, Woodcut by Bryan Nash Gill, Graphic Witness by Frans Masereel, Lynd Ward, and George Walker , The Art of the Woodcut by Malcolm C. Salaman and David A. Beronä, Wordless Books by David A. Berona and Peter Kuper, Lost At Sea by Bryan Lee O'Malley, Hurricane Story by Jennifer Shaw, Friends with Boys by Faith Erin Hicks, Hyperbole and A Half by Allie Brosh, Trusting Soul by Brian Andreas, The Book of Frank by CA Conrad, The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet by Reif Larson, On Loving Women by Diane Obomsawin and Helge Dascher, and Stitches by David Small.
Also, Fun Home and Are You My Mother? by Alison Bechdel, and The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznik.
And S. by J.J. Abrams and Doug Dorst, One! Hundred! Demons! by Lynda Barry, and Mrs Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs (graphic novel version).
And Anatomy For The Artist by Sarah Simblet.
Having gotten totally stymied by language, the following are some books I hope will help me navigate how to form the overall story, and choose the words to tell the story in the most elemental way.
They are: Bone Black by bell hooks, Getting a Life: Everyday Uses of Autobiography edited by Sidonie Smith and Julia Watson, The Weather of Words by Mark Strand, The Limits of Autobiography: Trauma and Testimony by Leigh Gilmore, Women Autobiography Theory: A Reader edited by Sidonie Smith and Julia Watson, and An American Childhood by Annie Dillard.
Also, glaze research and image options for future projects. The are: The Complete Guide to High Fire Glazes by John Britt and Image Transfer on Clay by Paul Andrew Wandless.

Charles H. Stocking / Susan A. Stephens: Ancient Greek Athletics
University instructors of courses on Greek and Roman sport often swap stories of frustration over the inadequacy of available sourcebooks on the subject. Many such sourcebooks were published decades ago and are for the most part outdated in their coverage of themes and selection of sources, not to mention at times idiosyncratic in the presentation of material. Most of these issues are successfully addressed and rectified in Ancient Greek Athletics, a new sourcebook on Greek sport.
C. Stocking and S. Stephens present a wide range of texts. Part I covers literary texts which are presented in chronological order ('Archaic and Early Classical period'; 'Classical Period'; 'Hellenistic Period'; 'Roman Period'). Sections on the 'Archaic and Early Classical Period' and 'Classical Period' are further subdivided into sections by genre (for instance, 'Epic'; 'Victory Odes'; 'Attic Oratory'; 'Philosophy') as suitable by historical period. The two sections covering Archaic and Classical Greece comprise numerous passages from poets and historians, but also judicious selections from medical and philosophical writings. The 'Hellenistic Period' and 'Roman Period' sections also comprise translations from a wide range of sources, including the Hellenistic epinicians by Callimachus and epigrams by Posidippus as well as an extensive selection by authors of the Roman Imperial period, including Pausanias, Plutarch, Philostratus, Epictetus, Galen, and others. Part II covers inscriptions, which are presented by location (for instance, Olympia, Delphi, Sparta, Athens, and others). Within each subsection, corresponding to a certain location, inscriptions are presented in chronological order. The emphasis here is on athletes as well as on regulations and select organizational aspects of athletic contests. A short part III on papyri, presented in chronological order, rounds up the translated texts.
In the Introduction, the authors justify their preference for a presentation of the material in chronological order (as opposed to a thematic division, adopted in some older sourcebooks) on the grounds that such a format prevents the uncritical and anachronistic mix up of sources, allows readers to trace interactions between authors, and elucidates the development of ideas and arguments about sport over the longue durée. Moreover, the format of presentation clearly reveals how different genres negotiate sport perceptions and practices, and the authors are right to underscore that laying out all these diverse texts in one book brilliantly demonstrates how deeply the world of athletics had permeated almost every aspect of life in Greek antiquity, from the time of the Homeric epics until the third century CE.
Even though the advantages of the format preferred by the authors are undeniable, a quick perusal of syllabi on ancient sport courses in North American universities available online clearly indicates a preference for a thematic approach within a broad chronological framework. To be sure, there can never be a one-size-fits-all approach in teaching choices and the organization of a sourcebook, and much depends on the familiarity of the presumed audience (readers of a book and/or students in a classroom) with the subject in hand. The authors of the sourcebook under review often provide in the short introductory notes, that contextualize many readings, cross-references to other sources in the book. Introductory notes for literary authors are primarily of an intertextual nature, and less frequently on themes and patterns in the history of Greek athletics that clearly emerge from the translated texts. To compensate, the reader can construct such thematic links and patterns through cross-references in the 'Glossary of Greek Terms' and the 'General Index'. Ultimately, it is up to the instructor or student using the book to explore, analyze, and synthesize, as part of the pedagogical process, the themes that suit their courses and interests.
In addition to its scope of coverage, other features of Ancient Greek Athletics make it stand out from older sourcebooks. In principle, authors, inscriptions, and papyri are independently introduced and, in cases where there is more than a single translated passage by author, additional notes provide short commentaries. Translations of literary texts are in general of high quality. Inscriptions often contain rare technical terms and jargon popular among athletes, and it is at times more challenging to keep track of all the semantic subtleties. For example, the last two lines of I5k (345) regarding the athlete T. F. Metrobios are translated "Titus Flavius Metrobius son of Demetrius won the periodos in the men's dolichos first in the games of Iasos, first in the men's category in the Capitoline Games in Rome in honor of Olympian Zeus". The correct meaning here is that Metrobios was the first among Iaseans (Ἰασέων πρῶτοϛ), the citizens of his native city, to win the periodos in the men's dolichos. Furthermore, he was the first of mankind (πρῶτοϛ ἀνθρώπων) to win the dolichos at the Capitolian games in Rome - he won, in other words, at the inaugural Capitolian games of 86 CE. The monument was dedicated to Olympian Zeus. The translation of this and other inscriptions can be perhaps revisited in a second edition.
Beyond the translated texts, a number of useful appendices cover in a succinct but reliable way central topics in the history of Greek athletics. These appendices can be read independently or collectively as a short introduction to ancient Greek sport by students but also non-specialist scholars. In fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to claim that Ancient Greek Athletics can be used as a quick and reliable reference point to some basic sources on Greek athletics by students and scholars alike. In addition to all these features, the book includes numerous and helpful illustrations and maps, as well as a select, up-to-date bibliography of basic titles, mostly in English.
In short, Ancient Greek Athletics is a welcome and long-awaited upgrade to the tools available in teaching ancient Greek sport. It is versatile but coherent, authoritative but accessible, wide-ranging but not pedantic. To borrow a favorite value-added term of Greek athletes, Ancient Greek Athletics prevails akoniti ("dustlessly", denoting an uncontested victory) over the competition.

Driver killed after car slams into oncoming school bus in Lac-Saint-Jean
A driver was killed in a collision with a school bus early Monday morning in the Lac-Saint-Jean region.
According to the Sûreté du Québec, the car strayed from its lane and crashed into the oncoming bus.
None of the approximately 30 children onboard the bus was seriously injured, police said.
According to the Commission scolaire du Lac-Saint-Jean, a doctor boarded the bus to assess the students' condition. The children were placed on another bus which transported them to Alma Hospital.
The hospital opened a room on the 6th floor for all the students, and a psychosocial team was also called in to intervene. Parents were asked to collect their children from the hospital. The students attend Jean-Gauthier school, Camille-Lavoie high school, Pavillon Wilbrod-Dufour and Pavillon Damasse-Boulanger.
The SQ said it doesn't yet know what caused the accident on Highway 169 in Alma. The maximum allowed speed there is 90 kilometres per hour.
It's so far unclear if weather conditions played a role in the crash. Environment Canada had forecast light intermittent snow for the start of the day, with cold temperatures.
The road was closed in both directions to allow police to investigate.
Firefighters and paramedics were also dispatched to the scene.

There's momentum behind this concept, though it needs more research to elucidate exactly what's at work.
The Sports Medicine Technology
Changing the Way We Exercise
When it comes to medical spas, German-based Lanserhof is in a league of its own. So when its latest outpost opened right in London at the Arts Club on Dover Street, we were not surprised to learn that in addition to traditional spa features like cryotherapy and acupuncture, this site adds a uniquely Lanserhof touch to the Arts Club's (extensive, luxurious) existing facilities: a medical gym. Which is like a regular gym, but way, way cooler.
It goes like this: When you join Lanserhof at the Arts Club (and you don't have to be an Arts Club member to do so), the physicians and nurses in residence, guided by medical director Sebastian Kunz, evaluate you from head to toe with diagnostic tests and screenings. What's the curvature of your spine like? Is one leg more dominant than the other? How's your heart? They work with trainers to set up a plan for whatever you need, whether that's extraordinary athletic performance or bouncing back from a nagging knee issue. Then your entire gym routine is loaded onto an electronic drive, and when you you insert that drive into any one of the gym's ingeniously designed machines, they do the setup—seat settings, weight loads, incline—for you.
Thoughtfully prescribed medical and wellness treatments fill in any holes in your workout to help you reach your goals faster and more safely. Kunz, a professional footballer turned orthopedic doctor, is especially passionate about this. He's been injured many times himself, and his background is in trauma surgery. Every time he would set a hip or realign a knee from a sports injury, he'd think, If I'd seen this patient earlier, I could have prevented this.
To meet each client's specific needs, Kunz crafts bespoke plans that often involve some really innovative tech. We had him break down the four tools in his armamentarium that he relies on the most.
Infrared Cameras for Comprehensive Body Composition Analysis
To capture and analyze motion, Lanserhof technicians use data from infrared cameras. They look at a client's gait, running and jumping mechanics, and ability with functional tasks, such going from sitting to standing. They measure muscle flexibility, strength, and volume. And they assess the complete structure of the spine. That motion analysis is combined with kinematic data (which measures how joint angles move during dynamic tasks) and kinetic data (which measures limb symmetry).
All of this together allows a practitioner to see exactly how forces distribute load on your joints. Maybe everything looks good, or maybe things aren't properly aligned, making you prone to injury. Depending on the data, Lanserhof sets up personalized programming using bracing or exercise therapy to minimize your risk. If your priority is to get back in the game ASAP after an injury, he may combine therapeutic exercises with a number of other techniques, like shock wave therapy or platelet-rich plasma injections.
Ultrasound-Guided Injections for Speedy Recovery
"Exercise therapy is super effective—and its effects are long-term," says Kunz. "But because we're treating the root causes of the problem, it takes time to work. And that can be really frustrating for a patient." So while Lanserhof practitioners diagnose and try to correct the underlying reason a problem has appeared, they also treat the symptoms. One popular option: ultrasound-guided injections.
Ultrasound is used as a diagnostic tool to pinpoint injuries in muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments and to target the location of damaged tissue for more-precise injections. Kunz uses several injection therapies, including two derived from a patient's own blood.
Platelet-rich plasma: To stimulate tissue regeneration in tendon injuries and mild degenerative conditions, Kunz will inject platelet-rich plasma. Platelets are blood cells that are responsible for clotting and healing. PRP is a sample of a client's own blood in which some components have been separated out, so the remaining mixture has a platelet concentration two to three times that of regular blood. When PRP is injected at sites outside of the bloodstream, the platelets release a number of growth factors that stimulate tissue regeneration in bones, joints, and soft tissues.
Autologous conditioned serum: Another blood-derived solution, autologous conditioned serum is made by drawing and incubating a patient's blood at high temperatures to increase the concentration of anti-inflammatory proteins. Then the resulting serum is reinjected at the site of tissue damage. Kunz uses ACS when he's looking to reduce inflammation in a patient's joints—ACS contains a high count of anti-inflammatory proteins, and studies have demonstrated its potential to manage pain and functionality for people with osteoarthritis.
Simulated Environments for Injury Prevention
"We can prevent common injuries by training the body and brain to function better in situations where you might get hurt," says Kunz. For example: In the Lanserhof movement lab, there's a training protocol for preventing falls. Strapped into a safety harness, you walk on a split-bed treadmill, where each foot lands on an independent belt. By programming one belt at a slightly slower speed than the other, Lanserhof creates an environment for tripping when you walk to see how you react. Can you catch yourself?
New research shows that if people practice this tripping simulation on a treadmill several times a month, they can significantly reduce the risk of falling within one year. "It's a little like vaccinating your body against falls," says Kunz. "You're training your brain and muscles to react quickly when something happens in real life."
Oxygen Therapies for Cellular Energy
There's a technique known by competitive athletes to enhance energy and endurance: training at high altitudes. That is, a runner can train their body to use oxygen more efficiently by taking a few days to run in the mountains, where the air is thinner and they get less oxygen in each breath. When the athlete returns to their normal altitude, their body is acclimated to lower-oxygen conditions. Because of that, every breath they take feels more energizing and powerful. If you're not an athlete with convenient access to the mountains, that doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't take advantage of this training technique. At Lanserhof, there's a treatment called Airzone therapy (it rolls off the tongue better than its technical name: interval hypoxia-hyperoxia training). It's like altitude training but can be done without the uphill climb.
Here's how it works: Clients lie down while wearing a breathing mask that alternates between a high-oxygen air supply and a low-oxygen one. This cycle of excess and deprivation puts the body in a stressed state, and cells are thought to respond by clearing out weak mitochondria (a mitochondrion is the part of a cell that controls respiration, energy, and metabolism) and replacing them with newer, stronger mitochondria that use energy more efficiently. In addition to improved athletic endurance, the treatment could have a number of benefits, including improved cardiovascular health and cognitive function, as well as reduced free radical damage.

Great Aunt Of Drew Barrymore Crossword Clue


The UK's world leading insurance industry is a vital contributor to the economy, managing investments of over £1.7 trillion which is equivalent to around 20% of the UK's total net worth. And recently published ABI statistics reveal that in 2016 insurers' income on those investments stood at £78bn, helping to support the economy and benefit society as it drives sustainable economic growth.
Insurers will have different investment approaches depending on the types of insurance being written, the scale of the business, and the risk appetite of the firm. In particular, the pattern of investment varies considerably between long-term and general business. The ABI's recently released 2017 Invested Assets statistics show that general insurance companies, driven primarily by the need for liquidity and short-term certainty, tend to invest largely in cash and 'Overseas Debentures, Loan Stocks, Preference & Guaranteed Stocks & Shares'. In comparison, long-term insurance companies, driven by the needs to both deliver good returns long-term, and match assets against long-term liabilities, focus much less on these areas, and more on traditional equities and property.
Across the market, diversification is a key method of risk-management. The principle intention of diversification is to mitigate the risks of volatility in financial markets, and striking a balance between returns and certainty.
Within long-term insurance, we also see a significant proportion of assets invested through Unit Trusts, which themselves are comprised of a diversified portfolio, and so any shortfalls within certain investments will likely be offset by gains in others. Unit trusts have rapidly become a popular investment choice for customers (now over double the figure from 2008) within long-term savings, as they allow exposure to a wider range of underlying investments than would otherwise be possible through the customers investing directly in the same assets.
Investment fund managers keep a keen eye on a range of factors to inform investment decisions. One key trend continuing in 2017 relates to inflation; the overall pattern of investment within non-index linked Government bonds has been on a gradual decline since 2005, although they are still more popular than their index-linked counterparts. Inflation can erode on investment returns, and so speculation of inflation growth can be a plausible explanation, where fund managers may want to reduce any risks associated to loss of earnings.
Another trend is that insurers have increasingly invested in overseas assets – both bonds and equities. This allows insurers to diversify against any risks associated with investment within UK markets. Foreign investment also opens up avenues to beneficial exchange rates, and a direct example of this is the effect of Brexit on sterling for those who invested in overseas stocks and shares. Conversely, this can also present itself as exchange rate risk. If a UK insurer buys foreign stock, and the currencies in the overseas territories weaken, the investment returns for the UK insurer will decrease.
Fund managers will continue to adapt their investment strategies based on these factors, yet other influences such as political uncertainty and climate change regulation may also have a significant transformational impact on the investment landscape.
Despite efforts to provide certainty of investment performance through diversification, ABI data shows that this performance remains highly uncertain. Total investment returns stood at 4.5% in 2016, a 2.8 percentage point increase from the previous year, and this is just one of many large fluctuations in the data over the last decade. With Brexit approaching and the ongoing low interest rate environment, there is little doubt that this uncertainty will continue for the foreseeable future.

Denis Donoghue writes about Louis MacNeice, and the thrusting of Shakespeare into touch

Selected Literary Criticism of Louis MacNeice
edited by Alan Heuser.

"... This is the first of two volumes in which Alan Heuser is making a selection of Louis MacNeice's occasional writings. The first is mainly his reviews of Classical and modern literature; the second will bring together his fugitive pieces on philosophy, history, travel and autobiography. The currently renewed interest in MacNeice arises from two considerations: one, that he deserves better than to be regarded as merely one of Auden's acolytes; two, that he may be seen as precursor to the young poets in Northern Ireland who have been making a stir, if not a Renaissance, since 1968 ..."
