There are many circumstances where regular group classes may not meet your individual needs. If you have an extremely specific fitness goal, are an athlete who competes in a specific sport, or prefer a fully customized 1 on 1 approach then Programming packages or Performance Coaching may be something you want to invest in. As always, the daily Competitive CrossFit Integration will continue to be free.
Not a member of our gym but want to have access to all our daily class and competitor workouts in beyond the whiteboard? We can set you up with remote programming access through beyond the whiteboard for a small fee. If you are a member at Ironstone your beyond the whiteboard subscription in included in your membership.
If you are a sport specific athlete in certain disciplines you may be best served through custom individual programming. For instance, a competitive weightlifter with a leg strength deficiency needs programming specifically to practice weightlifting while simultaneously focusing on leg strength. An athlete set on running a marathon in 6 months will likewise need to set aside the group template to focus only on those workouts which will improve running performance in the short term. An athlete who chooses a custom programming package will need to make a 3 month commitment and will receive programming covering off that entire 3 month period.
On a smaller scale, an athlete who wants to focus on a few specific skills outside of general fitness program may do well with a goal biased program. Goal biased programming takes our existing group template and adds on 4-5 custom workouts per week that focus entirely on those attributes you want to develop. Perfect if, for instance, you have an obstacle race coming up next month and you want to push your performance.
Some athletes may need more than workouts and group classes to accomplish their goals. Our performance coaching program is designed to give you a strong, dedicated presence to help you on your athletic journey. Performance Coaching is not personal training sessions or even just someone to answer your questions; a 1-on-1 performance coach will tell you specifically how to scale and approach your workouts, give feedback based on your performance, do thoughtful video analysis of your technical lifts and meet with you weekly via Skype or in person (depending on your location). Performance coaching is oriented towards only those athletes that are striving for maximal performance and are willing to put in the work that their coach assigns to accomplish their goal. They are your partner in accountability and a force pushing you forward.
Athletes in the Performance Coaching Program will get discounts on many of our services including massage, nutrition coaching, personal training, and our programming packages if appropriate.
Programming requested are completed on a first come first serve basis and take some time to prepare. Please expect a minimum 2-week turn around from request to provision. Based on the specifics of your request we may need to follow-up with additional questions.
Performance coaching is a limited service and subject to coach availability and coach-athlete fit. Requests will require a short 2-way interview to determine if this is the right service for you.
Which sport do you compete in?


I'm sure that most of the developers have met the terms "big endian" or "little endian". Originally these two terms were used by Jonathan Swift in his Gulliver's travels. Briefly people from Lilliput were cracking boiled eggs from the small end (little endians) while the inhabitans of the rival kingdom of Blefuscu were craking the eggs from the big end (big endians); but what do they mean in computing? They describe the way data with a size bigger than 1 byte, is memorized.

Aloha Poke
Rachel Ng
poke bowls women in food
International Women's Day has been occurring for more than a century and is continuing to grow from strength to strength. A collective day for global celebration, on the 8th of March we celebrate the social, economic, and cultural achievements for women all around the world.
We're kicking off the week with an inspiration series from women in the F&B industry who deserve a standing ovation for being kick-ass and of course being a part of some of the greatest restaurant names in Singapore.
Introducing the women behind Aloha Poke
With the recent uprise of poke bowls in Singapore, there must always be a leader to which co-founders Selene
Ong and Lee Yue Xian called it, Aloha Poke. Much like the name suggests, it is little-Hawaii giving a little wave to Singapore with an all-in-one nutritional bowl packing a powerful punch, and of course, sunny spirit. Mahalo.
Having a little bit of Hawaii wherever you go…
Much like a dream we all have to be on a permanent holiday, Selene and Yue Xian decided to find a way to eat like you're on holiday, everyday. After discovering the Poke in Hawaii, they wanted to spread the poke joy to the Little Red Dot, and from the bottom of our hearts, we say thank you!.
"Poké is traditional Hawaiian Food and it could be found in every nook and corner of the island. From Supermarkets to high end restaurant, this unique raw fish dish was the staple for all! It was delicious on its own, but for a full meal it can be consumed over rice and salad. We call it "love at first taste"".
And what great love is is.
With Singaporean's love first love for rice and sashimi, and their continuous journey to search for delicious food, Aloha Poke knew that a poke bowl would be the happy ending we've all been looking for.
With family, there's always food and love
For both Selene and Yue Xian, it seemed like a national transition to own a food establishment since growing up around food has revolved around family. With a Peranakan grandmother, Selene has seen the importance of having the right ingredients brings together a dish.
"It had to be fresh, and sauces must be made from scratch! Every meal made supervised by her was a "Tok Panjang" (feast)."
Similarly for Yue Xian whether there was a big gathering or a cozy setting, food was always the main staple and is now even being passed down a generation.
"As a child I was always told to eat more, eat more! I just grew up learning to eat, now my daughter too!"
This International Women's Day, celebrate yourself!
With the question, "who is your role model" you can definitely expect to find a strong-headed, independent woman in the family whether it's a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt.
And honestly, we can't find fault in that because that's what International Women's Day is about, celebrating the women in our lives who have made you, and us, into the women we are today.
However sometimes you can forget to celebrate yourself, and it's a leaf we should take from Selene's book. "Believe in yourself! To always try new things and learn from experience"
Hear, hear girl! If you feel you haven't been celebrating yourself recently - perhaps you should take a day to pamper yourself and celebrate your accomplishments. Whether you spend it at home with a movie and Deliveroo (cheeky!), or a day at the spa - it's important to focus on yourself, after all International Women's Day is your day too!

Q: MvcSiteMapProvider MVC5 External URL Re-routing to Home Controller / Index Method I'm using MvcSiteMapProvider 4.6.18. Many of my menu items link to external sites; however, the "url" attribute of mvcSiteMapNode is not being carried over to the menu. That is, I can see the url in the source, but the link is referring to the parent mvcSiteMapNode controller and action and not the url I specified.
Here's the relevant code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<mvcSiteMap xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xmlns="http://mvcsitemap.codeplex.com/schemas/MvcSiteMap-File-4.0"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://mvcsitemap.codeplex.com/schemas/MvcSiteMap-File-4.0 MvcSiteMapSchema.xsd">

<mvcSiteMapNode title="Home" controller="Home" action="Index">
    <mvcSiteMapNode title="About" url="http://www.amazon.com"/>
</mvcSiteMapNode>

</mvcSiteMap>

And here's what I see when viewing source:

    About

It doesn't matter what I use for the url, it always points to the root (i.e. Home).
There seems to be something simple that I'm missing. But for the life of me, I can't figure it out.
For completeness, here's my RouteConfig:
public class RouteConfig
{
    public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Default",
            url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
        );
    }
}

Any help would be much appreciated.
Update
Thanks to @NightOwl888, the issue was with one of the display templates. The mvcSiteMapProvider was part of a bootstrap theme template I downloaded from wrapbootstrap and didn't think to look at the display templates as a possible issue.
Here's the offending template, modified from the original NuGet download to work with a custom side bar menu.
@model MvcSiteMapProvider.Web.Html.Models.MenuHelperModel
@using System.Web.Mvc.Html
@using MvcSiteMapProvider.Web.Html.Models

   @ShowMenu(Model.Nodes)

@helper ShowMenu(IEnumerable<SiteMapNodeModel> menuItems)
{
   foreach (var node in menuItems)
   {
      var nodeclass = "";
      if (node.IsCurrentNode)
      {
         nodeclass = "active";
      }
      if (node.Children.Any(n => n.IsCurrentNode))
      {
         nodeclass = "active open";
      }
      else if (node.Children.Any())
      {
         foreach (var c in node.Children)
         {
            if (c.Children.Any())
            {
               if (c.Children.Any(n => n.IsCurrentNode))
               {
                  nodeclass = "active open";
               }
            }
         }
      }

         @if (node.Children.Any())
         {
            @Html.Bootstrap().SidebarMenuItem(node.Title, node.Area, node.Action, node.Controller).Icon(node.ImageUrl).IsDropDown();
         }
         else
         {
            @Html.Bootstrap().SidebarMenuItem(node.Title, node.Area, node.Action, node.Controller).Icon(node.ImageUrl);
         }
         @if (node.Children.Any())
         {

               @ShowMenu(node.Children)

         }

   }
}

A: MvcSiteMapProvider is driven by HTML helpers. Since I cannot reproduce the problem with v4.6.18 and MVC5, I suspect that you have not added one to your view.
A typical case would be to add the menu HTML helper to your /Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml page, as follows.

    @*

@Html.ActionLink("Home", "Index", "Home")

@Html.ActionLink("About", "About", "Home")

@Html.ActionLink("Contact", "Contact", "Home")

*@
    @* Use the MvcSiteMapProvider Menu HTML helper *@
    @Html.MvcSiteMap().Menu()
    @Html.Partial("_LoginPartial")

TIP: If you update your MvcSiteMapProvider.Web package to version 4.6.18, the Bootstrap CSS classes will be output on the Menu HTML helper, so it will blend with the default MVC 5 theme. Run the command PM> Update-Package MvcSiteMapProvider.Web -Safe from the Package Manager Console to update.

← T.G.I.F. – Ten Absent Artists
Stand Up Wit…The 100 Best? →
Paying Tribute! The Kinks
Another in a series of Kinks tribute albums, Unkovered features a mostly lesser-known roster of artists who produce mixed results. About half the songs are from the classic late 60s period, but I was glad to see the usual targets like "You Really Got Me" skipped over and tracks like "Dandy" and "Who'll Be The Next In Line" get covered.
Some of the artists offer little more than straight cover versions. Ghosts of Electricity handles "Sunny Afternoon" about as well as you'd expect a bar band to play it, and James O'Malley's odd pauses in "Celluloid Heroes" gives it an odd Harry Chapin flavor but neither track sticks in your head. On the other hand, while Maura Kennedy's cover of "Autumn Almanac" doesn't vary much from the original arrangement, her lilting voice perfectly suits the song, and she inhabits it with spirit and heart.
A couple of my favorite tracks have been given a country flavor, and why not? Muswell Hillbillies, Percy and Village Green Preservation Society did nothing if not celebrate family, hearth and home from the English perspective. The Corduroy Sky's take on "Holloway Jail" morphs from simple acoustic riffs to a lightweight version of Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Caroline Doctorow's beautiful "Oklahoma USA" (with Maura and Pete Kennedy backing up) is the standout cut on the album along with The Blaggards' "Last of the Steam Powered Trains".
Other artists took chances; Smile Pretty Misery treats "Set Me Free" like a dark confessional, while The Lone Sharks threw "Willesden Green" through an Elvis Presley filter. Johnny Cuomo's ragged voice makes Rod Stewart sound silky, but at least he infuses some emotion into "Dead End Street", much like Patrick Costello's wailing guitars save "Give The People What They Want". There are disappointments – I found Tara Eberle's "Do It Again" and Claudia Jacobs' "Loony Balloon" pretty tepid – but for a regional label (Long Island, NY) it's a pretty decent tribute disc.
Die-hard Kinks fans collect everything related to their heroes; hopefully they will find a few favorites on Unkovered to listen to alongside This is Where I Belong, Shangri-La, Give The People What We Want and the other loving tips of the cap.

Been looking at doing some site optimization and improving the design on my site for a while, so this website has been really useful. Easy read also, so thanks!


This approach can be easily implemented at other institutions and McMaster has since utilized a similar model for subsequent service reviews. Having the ability to utilize an existing framework and approach reduced start up time and helped bolster buy-in and credibility within the McMaster community. Identifying suitable internal and external committee members is critical to the process, as is ensuring the inclusion and engagement of the entire community (through various inclusive information gathering activities, outlined in the next section, along with regular and consistent communication with stakeholders). Lessons learned around increasing community member engagement and service descriptions can be shared.
Reviewed and prioritized 12 project proposals, approving an investment of $2.1 million dollars in funding for key IT projects aligned with student, faculty and staff priorities. At least 2 key projects had been previously rejected through budget processes. IT Governance allowed the benefits to students, faculty and staff to be considered along with the budget request.
Created 10 career growth opportunities identified for staff: 8 temporary and 2 permanent.
Held the first IT Forum for IT personnel from across the university, with over 193 participants.
The institutional scan undertaken as part of the IT review identified many departments and units that were providing the same or similar IT services with varying levels of service levels. This was not unexpected in a structure that is extremely decentralized and has evolved over decades to meet local needs and requirements. One of the recommended next steps is a collaborative rationalization and optimization of IT services – determining basic needs vs. enhanced services and relevant priorities, identifying who is best placed to deliver those services, ensuring that the IT service delivery units are properly resourced, and obtaining community-wide agreement on service levels. It is expected that process and resource efficiencies will result and, with this common delivery of basic services, the decentralized units will then be able to focus on value-added services to their local community. Steps around this have started with the central IT unit offering service desk support for a few other departments, which will help assess the front-line support required for staff, students and faculty. The new governance process in place, also allows for proposed projects being evaluated from an institution-wide perspective and efficiencies are realized across departments vs. when decisions were made in isolation across departments. In addition, the implementation of campus wide Microsoft Campus Licensing agreement has provided a more streamlined and visible opportunity for productivity software downloads, and to date has resulted in over $1 million in savings to McMaster students who are able to download this software at no cost.
over 75 submitted stakeholder feedback questionnaires.
25 in-person feedback sessions with the Review Committee (including over 100 individual stakeholders from the staff, faculty and student community).
a comprehensive institutional scan, conducted by online survey, to collect information around IT service delivery, infrastructure and resourcing, across 35 units.
high-level institutional IT spend analysis.
institution-wide IT service satisfaction survey completed by 1275 faculty, staff and students.
continuous communication regarding status and information gathering results.


Snow drifts are so deep, it's hard to carry seeds out to the birdfeeders. The red-shoulder hawks perched in one of our trees this afternoon were so cold, they stood on one foot with the other tucked up in their feathers. The fox that lurks in our woods bounds over the drifts looking for a meal. The squirrels seem reluctant to come out in the cold to pilfer the birds' food. Winter solstice is here, and I long for the warmth of spring.
Now, back to making Christmas cards — with one of my cardinal paintings on them. The message typed on the front excerpted from Carol of the Birds: "Whence comes this rush of wings? Birds of the woods in wondrous flight…sweetest music bring" And on the inside: "Wishing you peace & joy, not only this holiday season when heaven & earth join the birds in song, but always." And this is my wish for you in this season of miracles and magic.
Thanks, Karol. Maybe a teacher or 2 will want to use my short stories in their classroom!
Update: Both Bells and Sideshow by the Sea have been updated and appear in my book, Owl Light, published by Cold Moon Press.

Adamari López, her ex, Luis Fonsi, confesses, yes I dedicate songs to him
Adamari López, her ex, Luis Fonsi, confesses, he did dedicate songs to her | instagram
More than ten years ago, the famous actress and driver from Telemundo, Adamari López and the singer Luis FonsiThey were shocked by the announcement of the end of their love relationship, causing great controversy. Now, Adamarisurprised with his reaction when he found out to whom Luis Fonsi has dedicated songs.
In the last hours, the reaction he had has transcended, Adamari Lopezwhen in the middle of the program that he leads, Todaylistened to the statements made by his ex husband, in an interview in which he revealed to whom, how many and which songs he had dedicated throughout his career.
Knowing that they would watch the interview with Luis Fonsi, Adamari LopezShe did not lose her good humor and was relaxed and calm. He points out that Luis Fonsi never mentioned it in his account, despite the fact that he did name the subject.I do not give up', which, it was said at some point, had been dedicated to the Puerto Rican.

The first is a song that I dedicate to my wife called 'Somos uno'. A song that I wrote for my son before he was born, 'There you are,' the third is a very special song called 'Llegaste tú', I wrote it for my daughter Micaela. I dedicate a fourth song to people who fight for what they want, who get up in the morning with dreams and wanting to be a better person, 'I don't give up'", declared Luis Fonsi.
After these statements, Adamari López came out into the picture singing a verse of the famous song, limiting himself to saying: "He dedicates beautiful songs." Although Adamari López preferred to stay out of Luis Fonsi's statements, the social networks were in charge of putting on the table that the singer had supposedly dedicated the songs 'Step by step' and even 'I don't give myself up' to his ex. as defeated'.
Although as always, these are mere speculations by fans who have followed the actress for more than 10 years. In addition, the host has always been characterized as a prudent person with her comments and opinions and if Luis Fonsi already has another wife and children, there was no opportunity to detail or talk about the songs that he dedicated to him more than ten years ago.
Adamari LopezHe always kept his smile and good spirits, despite the interview in which he never mentioned it, but it is understandable that there was no longer room for the singer to talk about the things he did so many years ago.

Slowly but surely, life returns to the fire zone. (Photo/Jeremy Olsan)
Six months later, community shows resilience and resolve
By J. Editorial Board | April 20, 2018
Six months after fire swept across the North Bay, green shoots have begun to sprout and wildflowers are blooming. Winter rains have brought healing to the scorched earth of Sonoma and Napa counties.
Would that it were so simple for the human ecosystem.
The wildfires of last October killed 44 and destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. Entire neighborhoods in Santa Rosa disappeared in the flames, displacing hundreds of residents, including more than 50 Jewish families. Many are still living in temporary housing, while others have moved away for good.
Yet, as J. reported in the aftermath of the fires, and in our updates this week, we remain justifiably proud of the all-hands-on-deck response from the Bay Area Jewish community. Synagogues, social service agencies, JCCs and Federations answered the call, raising thousands of dollars and delivering goods and services to victims even as the fires raged.
They are all still on the case, as those affected struggle to regain their footing. It's one thing to talk about honoring community; it's quite another thing to step up when you are truly needed.
If the fires proved one thing, it is that this community means it when it says kol Yisrael arevim zeh bazeh: "All of Israel is responsible for each other."
And it's also worth noting that Jewish institutions and social service agencies extended a hand to everyone affected by the fires, not just Jews.
Though we wish it were otherwise, as our stories convey all too clearly, the trauma of the wildfires has not yet faded. There is still much work to be done, both physical reconstruction and psychic repair. And the work goes on.
But as a prime example of the resilience of the human spirit, we point to Camp Newman, the URJ overnight camp nestled in the hills east of Santa Rosa. The fires essentially gutted the camp, leaving little more than a few smoldering structures, an untouched cabinet full of siddurim and tallitot, and a Magen David overlooking the site.
While renovation of the physical plant has yet to begin, Camp Newman is very much alive. With summer beckoning, camp will take place offsite this year at the Maritime Academy in Vallejo.
Mere buildings do not a camp make. What makes a camp are campers, counselors and a spirit that cannot burn.
We suspect the same is true for every North Bay community affected by the fires. We wish them Godspeed.

When Elephants Weep – The Emotional Lives of Animals
By Jeffrey M. Masson and Susan McCarthy.
268 Pages | Published in 1996 | Softcover | Vintage, London | ISBN: 0099478919.
Fore more than 100 years, scientists have denied that animal experience emotions, yet this remarkable and ground-breaking book proves what animal-lovers have known to be true: wolves, giraffes, elephants, and many other creatures exhibit all kinds of feelings - hope, fear, shame, love, compassion. From Ola, the irritable whale, to Toto, the chimpanzee who nursed his owner back to health, this book collects together for the first time a vast range of case histories, which show the extraordinary complexity of the animal world, and the tumult of emotions that govern it.
From page 223:
" Freedom from exploitation and abuse by humankind should be the inalienable right of every living being. Animals are not there for us to drill holes into, clamp down, dissect, pull apart, render helpless and subject to agonising experiments. They are, like us, endangered species on an endangered planet, and we are the ones, who are endangering them, it and ourselves. They are innocent sufferers in a hell of our making. We owe it to them, at the very least, to refrain from harming them further. If no more, we could leave them be.
When animals are no longer colonised and appropriated by us, we can reach out to our evolutionary cousins. Perhaps then the ancient hope for a deeper emotional connection across the species barrier, for closeness and participation in a realm of feelings now beyond our imagination, will be realised. "
auteur: Masson, J./McCarthey, S.


Our innovations combine state-of-the-art laboratory diagnostics, imaging technologies and IT solutions to pinpoint disease early on, enhance diagnostic precision and optimize patient care.
Modern medicine is inconceivable today without innovative imaging techniques: They enable early and detailed diagnosis of illnesses and can confirm or deny the presence of suspected disease. Imaging systems are now increasingly also being used in therapy. Modern imaging enables forms of therapy which are more gentle on patients and reduce costs. At the same time, they open up treatment options for patients who until now had to live without the prospect of recovery. For example, open surgical procedures can be replaced by minimally invasive surgery. The outcomes of operations can be directly controlled while surgery is still being performed. New types of cancer therapy allow for treatment approaches which are both mild and effective. Powerful software solutions from Imaging & Therapy Systems support the diagnosis and therapy.
In many cases, X-ray and Ultrasound mark the beginning of a patient's care. To determine what kind of therapy the patient needs, medical providers need fast, effective imaging - the kind that can enable clinically confident diagnoses. Thus, it is the goal of the Siemens Clinical Products Division to provide physicians and radiologists with ultrasound and X-ray imaging to obtain better insights and allow safer diagnoses in a shorter time.
Siemens Molecular Imaging is a pioneer in all aspects of molecular imaging, from PET and SPECT scanner development to clinical applications, from radiopharmaceutical discovery and distribution to preclinical imaging.
The team in Oxfordshire is responsible for development of software products and solutions for the clinical applications of PET∙CT, SPECT, SPECT∙CT and MR∙PET scanners that enable clinicians to visualize and quantify the biology of diseases such as cancer, heart disease and dementia.
Siemens MR Magnet Technology is the world's leading designer and manufacturer of superconducting magnetic resonance imaging magnets for medical applications.
Around 95 per cent of the magnets produced at its Oxfordshire facility are exported and the business has been awarded several Queen's Awards for export success.
More than 30 per cent of the MRI scanners installed in hospitals worldwide have at their heart a superconducting magnet manufactured by Siemens MR Magnet Technology.


Since cataracts are located just behind your pupil, the size of your pupils is an important factor in the success of cataract surgery. So the eyedrops will be used to dilate your pupils before the procedure. Once dilated, the clouded natural lens and other structures will be seen within your eye in greater detail, then your cataracts will be allowed to safely removed.Once your cataracts have been removed, the doctore will re-constrict your pupils using another type of eyedrop, since your new intraocular lens (IOL) will be implanted in front of your pupil and iris. Depending on the type of IOL you have implanted, your pupils may remain dilated for a week or more after cataract surgery. During this time, you will need to use pupil-constricting eyedrops until your pupils return to their normal size.As your pupils start to naturally constrict again and your eyes adjust to the IOL, your vision will become gradually clearer. Some people have excellent vision immediately after surgery, while others may need to wait for their temporary blurry vision to dissipate.
A well dilated pupil increases the ease of cataract surgery, it is difficult to perform cataract surgery on any patient with pupil size less than 5mm. During the pre-operative assessment, dilatation of the pupil is a very important parameter to be observed, as well as diagnosis of the cause of a poorly dilating pupil. If the pupil does not dilate fully, performing phaco surgery is going to be difficult. It is also important to remember not to dilate the pupil 48 hours before the surgery and with strong dilating agents like atropine, homatropine or cyclopentolate. In that case, the pupil will not dilate fully on subsequent attempt on the surgical day.

Q: bash function that logs to screen and returns a value I am a Java guy, learning how to write a clean bash script. I am writing a bash function that does some calculations. During the run, this function must log something that shows how the internal calculation goes. Then at the end, it returns the computed value.
This way:
calculate() {
    local some_varible_1
    # doing something here
    printf "result: %s\n" "$some_varible_1"

    local result
    # doing something again
    printf "result: %s\n" "$result"

    # return value
    # the stdout must be cleared somehow
    printf "%s" "$result"
}

The function does not need (and does not have) any input param because it works with script level global variables and I would like to avoid using input param only for passing back the return value.
This is how I call this function:
computed_valuee=$(calculate)

Is that possible to reset the stdout somehow before returning the result from the function?
What is the best way to write a bash function that has a return value but the function logs info to stdout as well?

Mali junta head stops fighting in key town as rebels advance
By Serge Daniel
Malian military junta leader Amadou Sanogo. By Issouf Sanogo (AFP/File)
BAMAKO (AFP) - Mali junta head Captain Amadou Sanogo on Saturday ordered the army "not to prolong the fighting" in Gao, a move that leaves the main northern town open to the rampant Toureg rebels.
"Given the situation of the populations" near the battle zone "the Mali forces have decided not to prolong the fighting," Sanogo said late Saturday.
Just minutes earlier the leader of last week's coup had said, in a statement read by a journalist on state ORTM television, that the Malian army had fought off the Tuareg rebel assault.
Sources close to the junta recognised that the order to stop fighting was in fact a decision to pull the government forces out of the area, following similar withdrawals form other parts of the region in recent days.
"A more viable security plan will be put in place so that the whole territory of Mali will not be violated," Sanogo said in his statement.
Heavy gunfire earlier rocked Gao as the rebels, reportedly backed by Islamists, pursued a relentless advance on an army struggling with the aftermath of a coup.
As the junta that seized power on March 22 tried to contain the rebel offensive, its envoys met in Burkina Faso with the West Africa bloc's mediator, President Blaise Compaore, and promised to work towards restoring constitutional order.
A resident of Gao, contacted from the capital Bamako, said the rebels were pushing to take the town, which serves as the military headquarters of northern Mali, some 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) northeast of Bamako, with a population of about 90,000.
In a letter sent to an AFP correspondent in Bamako, an Islamist group called The Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa (Mujao) said it "attacked the city of Gao this morning".
The group is thought to be a breakaway faction of Al-Qaeda's north Africa branch, known as Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).
The assault came less than 24 hours after the strategic town of Kidal, north of Gao, fell into rebel hands following an attack reportedly led by Tuareg separatists from the Azawad National Liberation Movement (MNLA), fighting alongside another Islamist group.
With Mali threatening to unravel, the current chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Ivory Coast's President Alassane Ouattara, said the regional bloc had put 2,000 troops "on alert", ready to intervene if necessary.
Precise details on the various factions hammering Mali's army remain sketchy, but crucial to the offensive is the MNLA, a group boosted by weapons brought into Mali from neighbouring Libya following the fall of Moamer Kadhafi.
In January, the MNLA relaunched its decades-old fight for the independence of what the Tuareg consider their homeland in the vast desert region.
It has been joined by the Islamist Ansar Dine (Defenders of Faith, in Arabic) which is headed by renowned Tuareg rebel Iyad Ag Ghaly and has ties to AQIM.
Mutinous soldiers overthrew President Amadou Toumani Toure, saying he proved incompetent in facing the rebel offensive.
Even as it weighs sending military support, ECOWAS has threatened to hit Mali's junta with tough sanctions if constitutional order is not quickly restored.
Following the Saturday meeting with ECOWAS mediator Compaore, the junta's chief of staff, Colonel Moussa Sinko Coulibaly, said the putschists supported the bloc's call for a return to constitutional government.
"Now, the way to establish this, that is what we are going to discuss," he explained.
Junta leader Sanogo on Friday said he needed outside help to beat back the rebels.
Speaking on television in Abidjan Saturday, he added that ECOWAS "must preserve Mali's territorial integrity at all costs ... we must succeed because if Mali is divided, carved up, it is a bad example," noting that the rebels would withdraw if confronted with an international show of force.
On the MNLA's website its spokesman Bakaye Ag Hamed Ahamed said the movement would continue its offensive by targeting both Gao and Timbuktu, another regional capital.
Following the coup the European Union, the United States and other Western powers suspended hundreds of millions of dollars of support for landlocked Mali -- except for emergency aid to drought-hit regions.
Washington, which has warned the region was becoming a new hub for Al-Qaeda, on Friday supported ECOWAS' efforts to force the junta to step down but said it was "very concerned" by the latest rebel advances.
The Tuareg offensive has caused more than 200,000 people to flee their homes in the remote region that is also a hub for arms and drug trafficking.
Meanwhile, in Bamako on Saturday, more than 25,000 heeded a call from Christian and Muslim leaders to join a peace rally at a stadium in the capital.
"We must shake hands, set aside our differences and save Mali," said Mahmud Dicko, who heads a leading Islamic organisation in a country where more than 90 percent of the 13 million people are Muslims.

District Director of Customs
300 Second Avenue S.
RE: Protest No. 3307-92-100039; Lubidet; Timely Filing
Dear District Director:
The following is our decision regarding the request for further review of Protest No. 3307-92-100039, which concerns the classification of Lubidet's personal hygiene water sprayer under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). The entry was filed for the protestant by a licensed custom house broker on August 21, 1992. On October 15, 1992, a Notice of Action was issued to the protestant that the merchandise was classified differently than as entered and that the difference would result in an increase in duties. The notice stated that the entry papers were in liquidation process.
The bulletin notice of liquidation is recorded as having been posted on November 20, 1992. The protest was filed on November 17, 1992, before the protested entry was liquidated. The protest recites that the entry was not liquidated.
The statute, 19 U.S.C. 1514(c)(2) provides in pertinent part, that a protest shall be filed "within ninety days after but not before notice of liquidation". (emphasis added)
This protest fails to meet that statutory requirement. The appellate decision in United States v. Reliable Chemical Co., 66 CCPA 123, 605 F.2d 1179 (1979) controls here. In that case, the Customs Court reasoned that the courtesy notice of liquidation could be viewed as a notice of liquidation. On appeal, that decision was reversed. Here, the Notice of Action is no more than the courtesy notice of liquidation was in Reliable Chemical.
There being no timely protest, this protest must be denied.
A copy of this decision should be attached to Customs Form 19 and provided to the protestant as part of the notice of action on the protest.
John Durant, Director

...especially women entrepreneurs, to share experience and to learn useful lessons from people from other APEC members.
Trie't said women in Viet Nam played a very important role in all aspects of life.
"During the wars for national liberation, women actively participated in many areas, proving that they are as strong as men," said Triet.
"In times of peace and development, women are in leading positions in the field of economics, culture, science and technology."
The President urged the Viet Nam Women's Union to increase study of new and innovative ways and policies to promote the participation of women in all economic and social activities. The President said the State may learn from these policies to create favourable conditions for women to fully develop their potentials.
Triet said 27 per cent of National Assembly delegates were now women, a percentage that was still too low. Trie't called on legislators to work on ways of increasing this ratio.
The heads of delegations, including representatives from Australia, South Korea, the United States and Russia, said they will continue to cooperate with Vietnamese women leaders.
Delegates said they appreciated Viet Nam's hosting of APEC and acknowledged the active-ness of Vietnamese women in the past and during the current phase of building a more prosperous society.
The President said he would inform APEC leaders at November's summit of initiatives and proposals discussed at Tuesday's meeting.

New Aeroterm cargo facility opens at Edmonton International Airport
Aeroterm's new state-of-the-art $10 million dollar cargo and logistics warehouse opened on Friday, October 20 at Edmonton International Airport (EIA). The new 50,000 square-foot cargo facility is the third building owned by Aeroterm at EIA. Construction began in spring 2016 and opened in October 2017.
"Most airports are very land-constrained and there's limitations as to what can be done," said John Cammett, CEO and founding partner of Aeroterm. "Here at Edmonton, it has such a large land mass, and it's working with the various municipalities to be able to do developments that are transformational to help the economy fit in the global marketplace. They have the available lands, which gives you the ability to put in the runways that you need, and the supporting facilities," Cammett said.
The four tenants at this new facility include Gate Gourmet, Swissport, Sky Café and Airport Terminal Services (ATS). Notable features of this new facility include vehicle maintenance pits, wash bays, clear-span warehouse, direct airside access and proximity to passenger terminal. The project has employed over 250 people and will feed the Edmonton & Alberta economic engine.

We are so excited to announce our Alliance for Gun Responsibility Victory Fund endorsements this election season. In order to address the crisis of gun violence in our state, we need passionate, dedicated champions who will fight for common-sense gun laws in Olympia. These candidates have shown that they understand this epidemic and care deeply about putting the safety of our families and communities ahead of gun lobby rhetoric. We're proud to support these candidates for the Washington State Legislature to build a true gun responsibility coalition. Remember to vote by Tuesday, November 8.
The Alliance for Gun Responsibility Victory Fund has endorsed the following candidates in the 2016 General Election.
In 2016, Victory Fund endorsements supported the successful election of over 40 candidates, many who ran on gun responsibility issues. The Victory Fund endorsed 31 incumbent legislators and Governor Inslee for re-election and eight candidates, who won in open seat elections in 2016. The fund also endorsed two candidates who successfully beat incumbents: Senator Lisa Wellman in the 41st legislative district and Representative Kristine Reeves, who now serves the 30th legislative district.

Search engines are used to look for information on the Internet. The largest and most important search engines are: Google, Yahoo and Bing. Search engines store a summary of what a particular site is about which is what shows up in search results for a particular phrase when it is searched. When building a webpage, you can use meta tags to write the headline and paragraph a search engine will display in its results. Members of the Staging Diva Directory of Home Stagers get this as a free benefit of participation.
SEO or Search Engine Optimization describes an Internet marketing strategy used to maximize search engine traffic to a website or blog using "natural," "organic" or "unpaid" methods. Two important aspects of SEO are improving your website's Page Rank and getting links to your site from others. The best links are from high traffic and established websites.
There are billions of websites on the Internet, all competing for attention. In order to get found by people who don't know you, you need to be concerned with your search engine ranking, ie, how close to the top of search engine results your site can come. Everyone hopes to be in the top 10 which puts you on the first page of search results for a particular phrase. The goal of search engine optimization (SEO) is to improve your search engine ranking which leads to more and better quality visitors to your site.
Seasonality refers to an activity that follows a predictable and fairly regular pattern. Because there is seasonality in the real estate market, there is also seasonality in the demand for home staging services. Staging leads real estate because many people stage their homes before putting them on the real estate market. The great news for home stagers, is that it also follows the real estate cycle because many people stage their homes after they've tried unsuccessfully to sell it. For more on this topic, read this article Seasonality of Home Staging.
When the demand for homes is higher than the supply, it is known as a "seller's market." In this situation home sellers have more power than buyers, which is why a seller's market drives up asking and selling prices. Too many buyers compete for too few listings, leading to bidding wars. For further reading about home staging in a seller's market get this free report on how the real estate market effects the home staging industry: Ask Staging Diva "Can I grow a home staging business in a depressed economy?"
The sheen level of a paint indicates how shiny it is and much light it reflects. Paint is available in different sheen levels ranging from flat to high gloss. The higher the gloss level, the more the light bounces off the surface of the paint and the more any bumps or imperfections in the surface become apparent. This can be a big disadvantage to using a higher sheen level on old plaster. Lower sheen levels are harder to wash which makes them inappropriate for hallways and kitchens.

Spiders are programs used to scour the Internet, feeding web pages to search engines. They're called spiders because of the way they crawl the "web". They move from one web page or one web site to another by following links. They're also known as web crawlers.
There are several associations claiming to be "the voice of the home staging industry." It's important to know that none of these organizations are completely independent (and therefore unbiased) associations in the home staging field. All are tied in some way to a particular training company (because they are owned by them, or their owners hold executive positions within the organization) or they are tied to a group of training companies (because they pay to be endorsed by the association). When determining which one to join, look carefully at the benefits you'll get for the amount paid. Don't automatically assume that membership will give you instant credibility since home staging is a completely unregulated field and there are many associations. Some stagers enjoy association membership because of the connection with fellow home stagers or other benefits. Others, don't belong to any staging associations and have built very successful home staging businesses without that.

Calling attention to the nastiness of the Holocaust for the University of Colorado, Boulder's Holocaust Awareness Week, is starkly dark campaign, created by TDA Advertising & Design, that reminds us of the horrors that time brought. From freakish experiments on the body to pressure chamber torture to showers of gas, bulletin board postings, door knob hangers and shower hangers slap students in the face with this message of remembrance. A radio spot featuring a sickly twisted fairly tale accompanies the campaign. There's nothing pretty about this campaign and that's as it should be.
See the campaign components here and listen to the radio spot here.
a real breakthrough. these ads are great.
These are powerful and important ads. I'm truly impressed.
I thought it was hamfisted, when more finesse and subtlety is needed. Draw parallels between ficiticious horror stories, and what actually happened.
And calling the boy "Franz" in the radio spot was ridiculous. If the intent of Holocaust Awareness Week is to remind people of its very real evil, and in a way scare them into preventing it from happening again, NOW, then it would have been better to use a "good-'ol" American name like Tommy or Bobby.

There are probably many reasons to wear long skirts this spring. But I'll you give three big ones, that you won't be able to ignore. All you'll have to do, is pick your style and go for it – adopt it, wear it and own it…Because skirts will always be skirts!! And I'm sure you have one or two tucked somewhere in your wardrobe. After all we girls know how to have fun with them. Now don't we?!
They look good on everyone. They are easy to wear and the right style skirt enhances body shapes.
They can be worn with any shoe. How awesome is that? Sneakers, boots, pumps, slingbacks, ballerinas, sliders, wedges – you name it!
They are really comfy. And yes, comfort is a big thing this decade. So why not combine comfort with an edgy, flirty feminine side?!
Image by JDWilliams (via). One with a nautical flair to it.
Image by M&Co (via). A boho long skirt is always great to wearing from spring till the end of an Indian summer.
Image by Debenhams (via). A J by Jasper Conran skirt.
Image by White Stuff (via). Did I mention how I fancy boho long skirts?
Image by Jigsaw (via). When I was little, I didn't get pleat skirts. But, maxi long pleat skirts do look fabulous. It's all about getting the length right! Now, I get it! 😉 This also happens to be the perfect styling example of high profile vs low profile staples that come together to pull off an outfit with a huge COOL factor to it. The top and shoes are both low profile. But the skirt with its color blocking and yellow color is a big profile staple. Add a high profile bag to it and it will be the perfect statement street-wear!
Image by House of Fraser (via). A Label Lab skirt, combined with a yellow top looks really trendy!! Have you noticed all that yellow around you yet?!
Image by Oliver Bonas (via). A plain black skirt is never plain when paired with a striped top.
Image by Debenhams (via). More stripes!!
Images by Bimba Y Lola (via), House of Fraser (via), Joe Browns (via) and Very Exclusive (via).
I don't know about you, but I don't have anymore my beautiful suntan. Therefore, long skirts are ideal for hiding my whiteness right now. Denims are always cool, but skirts and dresses are on my radar now!
Let me know your thoughts… Which style would you go for?
Skirts are definetely more feminine so why not? Love that they can be worn with sneakers. Makes the outfit so casual and easy going!
Oh yes! Sneakers are a low profile staple and therefore, when paired with a high profile staple you still get a cool outfit without feeling overdressed and stepping out of your comfort zone.


An amputee has created a whimsical, custom-build prosthetic using Legos.
Christina Stephens used the building blocks to create a casing around her leg, a solid post and a makeshift foot. She then shows off how the homemade prosthetic can support her weight and allow her to walk around. No word how comfortable the device is, but the colorful blocks make the project fun.

Bonus: New giveaway opportunity now available courtesy of Goodreads!
Just a few weeks after Prayers for the Living is published, you'll be able to find our second book—a re-issue of Meyer Levin's Compulsion—in bookstores as well. Originally published in 1956, this classic novel will be published on April 15.

Kvell Korner
Here's a new newsletter feature—one that we hope will become a staple! In the "Kvell Korner" (yes, we know, it may sound KORNY), we are delighted to offer a hearty Mazal Tov to each of the following FTB team members on their latest honors.
First, some exciting news from Jessamyn Hope, whose debut novel Safekeeping we will be publishing in June. PRISM International has nominated Jessamyn's memoir piece "The Reverse" for a 2016 Pushcart Prize. As you may know, this prize is an American literary award that honors the best "poetry, short fiction, essays or literary whatnot" published in the small presses over the previous year. You can read the nominated essay in print in PRISM 52:4 (it's a stunner), and see photos related to the story here.
Next, the Association for Jewish Studies has awarded FTB advisor Dr. Joshua Lambert a 2014 Jordan Schnitzer Award. Conferred this week at the AJS annual conference in Baltimore, the award recognizes the excellence of Josh's book Unclean Lips: Obscenity, Jews, and American Culture (New York University Press).
Finally, New York Times Book Review art director Nicholas Blechman has cited work by Charlotte Strick among "The Best Book Covers of 2014." Of course, Charlotte's talents are no secret to us: With Claire Martinez Williams, Charlotte is one-half of the Strick&Williams design team. As such, Charlotte is part of Team FTB as well: Strick&Williams have designed the covers for Jonathan Papernick's The Book of Stone and Jessamyn Hope's Safekeeping. You can see the Safekeeping cover just above. Why not go take a peek at The Book of Stone's cover, too?
