KINK (101.9 FM also known as kink.fm) is a commercial radio station in Portland, Oregon.  It is owned by Alpha Media and it airs an Adult Album Alternative radio format. KINK's studios and offices are on Southwest 5th Avenue in the PacWest Center.  The signal is heard over much of Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington.  The transmitter is located off Southwest Barnes Road in the West Hills.

Although KINK's format has evolved over the years, its sound, philosophy, target audience, marketing, and community involvement have remained fundamentally consistent over its 50+ year history, a rarity in commercial broadcasting. Many of KINK's DJs have been associated with the station for decades. In the vernacular of commercial radio, KINK is known as a "heritage" radio station.

History

The station began broadcasting Christmas Day, 1968, as "KINK – The Underground Link".  It was a sister station to KGW (now KPOJ) and KGW-TV. The stations were owned by Seattle-based King Broadcasting.  KINK aired a Freeform/Progressive Rock format, where the DJs chose the music they would play.  Over time, the format evolved to adult album alternative.  In 1998, KINK was sold to CBS Radio.

The station is a prior employer of screenwriter Mike Rich (Nativity Story, Finding Forrester), who worked there as the morning newsman and co-host early in his career.  In August 2009, CBS Radio sold its Portland cluster (including KINK) to Alpha Media, in an effort to focus on major market stations.

From its first broadcast in 1968 until August 2010, the studios and offices were co-located with KGW-TV on Southwest Jefferson Street, west of Downtown Portland.   In August 2010, Alpha Broadcasting moved the station to the PacWest Center, in downtown.

HD Radio
On December 17, 2014 KINK began broadcasting digitally in HD Radio, with a simulcast of co-owned sports radio KXTG 750 AM ("750 The Game") on its HD2 sub channel.  KINK's HD2 programming is also heard on a 99-watt FM translator, 102.9 K275CH in Gresham. On September 16, 2019 KINK-HD2/K275CH dropped the sports simulcast with KXTG and changed their format to rhythmic CHR, branded as "WE 102.9".

Programming
KINK plays a wide variety of music, including adult album alternative, rock, acoustic, folk, pop, blues, reggae and new age. KINK's format also features several special programs, some of which have been in place for many years. These include the Sunday Night Blues Room, Sunday Acoustic KINK, and Tranceformation, a weekly selection of trance and chill music. KINK showcases emerging artists from the Portland area with its nightly Local Music Spotlight feature, as well as independent or unsigned artists with a feature known as The Gamut.  Beginning in 1973 and ending in the early 2000s KINK aired a late night program of mellow instrumental music known as "Lights Out". A version of the program was resumed in 2021, but ended in early 2023.

The station regularly airs special music features in addition to its regular format. These features can run for a weekend or longer, and often involve input from KINK's listeners. Such features include the Listener Sets Weekend, the KINK Hall of Fame, Five Decades of KINK, and the KINK Summer School of Rock.

In recent years, KINK has expanded its offerings of live musical performances. The KINK Live Performance Lounge brings together touring artists and KINK listeners for casual three to five song performances with brief interviews, either in the KINK studio's performance space, or in another location such as a concert venue or coffee shop. These sessions are recorded, and annual compilations are released in the KINK Live CD series, a benefit for Start Making A Reader Today. The Live Performance Lounge sessions are also videotaped, and are presented on the station's website with high quality audio.

KINK has a longstanding involvement in fundraising efforts for Oregon Food Bank. These include the Lights Out CD compilation series, the annual KINK Christmas Concerts and the Waterfront Blues Festival. Together, these have raised more than one million dollars for the food bank.

KINK's website has become part of its identity and outreach, with the station identifying itself as "kink dot fm" on the air and in its marketing. The website's content is regularly updated and expanded, including interactivity with the station's listeners, known as the "KINK Community."  KINK.fm also offers streaming audio of the station's broadcast, as well as side channels that focus on specific music elements of Kink's format, such as Lights Out 24/7, the Blues Room, Acoustic Kink, and the New Music Channel.

BN Pac-12 Power Poll: Week 3
The Bruins Nation power poll for the Pac-12 conference, week 3 of 2013
By tasser10 Sep 19, 2013, 2:59pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: BN Pac-12 Power Poll: Week 3
The college football freight train is a'rollin'. Teams have now played at least two games, and we have even seen a few conference games here and there. So we are starting to get an idea of who the contenders might be, but we don't know yet who the pretenders are. Confidence is rising for some, deflating realities setting in for others. Some are still not sure, and there are a blasphemous few who don't care (or have the equivalent of Steve Alford for coach)! Most teams are still a week away from starting their conference slate, and so far the SEC and Pac-12 have made their mark. With the increased exposure, imagine the possibilities if the Pac-12 got some competent referees...
Player of the Week: Brett Hundley, UCLA - it's a homer call, but I think it's the right call. Brett faced the toughest environment and the toughest circumstances and after a slow start, he went into beast mode, throwing 3 TDs and rushing for 61 yards against Nebraska. If stats alone were what mattered, I might have picked Keith Price or Bishop Sankey from Washington, or Sean Mannion from Oregon State. I would definitely give a shout out to Lane Kiffin for masterfully bringing his team back. But none of them showed as much character as Brett.
Stat of the Week: 35 points in 16 minutes - that's what UCLA was able to put up against Nebraska, essentially winning the game in a single quarter.
Game of the Week: ASU at Stanford, 4:00pm PST, FOX - the only conference game of the week is a matchup of two ranked teams. While they are in different divisions, this game has rather big implications. Stanford is looking to regain its 2012 form while ASU seeks to take a major step towards being a serious contender.
1. UCLA (2-0, 0-0): I think we've covered every angle of UCLA's victory against Nebraska, none better than in gbruin's post. A disappointing start led to an offensive outburst, a stout defense and a huge emotional release. Coach Mora said it best, it won't mean anything unless the team sustains its effort going forward. And that begins this week against New Mexico State as the Bruins return to the Rose Bowl (where apparently fans will be able to enjoy the Ralphs Ultimate Tailgate Experience, whatever that is).
2. Arizona State (2-0, 0-0): the Sun Devils get a huge lucky break at home against Wisconsin, in one of the worst endings to a game that I have ever seen, and another testament to the incompetence of Pac-12 referees who have now solidified their reputation nationwide. The game did not reveal much about either team, who either both have good offenses or mediocre defenses. Taylor Kelly threw for 352 yards but Marion Grice did all the scoring on the ground. We will find out what ASU is all about this week when they visit Stanford.
3. Arizona (3-0, 0-0): Ka'Deem Carey and B.J. Denker did the damage for the Wildcats against UTSA. Denker, the new Wildcats QB, had an efficient game though he didn't have a big day in the air. That's not really RichRod's system anyway. But once again, Arizona has had 3 games against meaningless opponents so it is difficult to get a feel for this team yet. This week they have a bye so that won't help matters either, until they begin conference play.
4. Utah (2-1, 0-1): Norm Chow is gone and suddenly the Utes can score! OK that's not entirely fair, but there is no question that Utah's offense is what held them back a bit last year, breaking in a young QB. This year, it looks like the Utes can put up some serious points. 148 in 3 games, to be exact. Unfortunately, they also gave up 51 points last week in an OT loss to Oregon State while giving up a lot of yards in the air. The rush defense seems to be solid though. It will definitely get tested this week against BYU.
5. Southern Cal (2-1, 0-1): Kiffin's crew might just have gotten its swag back, demolishing a top ACC team. Boston College didn't stand a chance against the onslaught of Kiffin's offensive playcalling and the stingy Southern Cal defense. Lost in the mayhem and fury over their coach is the fact that Southern Cal has only allowed 9 points per game, good enough for 8th in the country. Now that the offense is rolling, this team is going to be dangerous. This week they host Utah State, who already lost to Utah in a close game, so it will be a good indicator of where Southern Cal is.
6. Colorado (2-0, 0-0): with the devastation of the floods in the Boulder area, the game between Fresno State and Colorado was postponed and not yet rescheduled. Sometimes nature and life like to remind us how trivial sports are. Our thoughts are with all the residents in Colorado affected by these floods, we know they're in good hands with guys like gbruin out there. What's not trivial for sports fans is that Colorado's next game isn't until September 28. This gives new coach McCarthy a lot of valuable practice time...as long as the team can practice. I'm sure there are other pressing matters at the moment.
1. Oregon (3-0, 0-0): poor Volunteers. Traveling to Oregon for a beatdown like this cannot be good for morale. Hopefully UCLA will not experience the same fate. Things started reasonably well for Tennessee, who was up 7-0 in the first quarter. Then Oregon scored 38 points in 20 minutes. Guess they were inspired by UCLA's performance earlier that day. Marcus Mariota had a ridiculous day, throwing for 456 yards and 4 TDs, adding another one with his feet. He's likely to have a blast when Cal comes to Autzen this week.
2. Stanford (2-0, 1-0): it wasn't pretty and probably a little tighter than Stanford would have liked, but the Cardinal was able to put away Army and the final score (34-20) is a bit misleading as the final Army touchdown came in the last minute. Still, Army was up 6-0 before Kevin Hogan threw a TD pass at the end of the first quarter. The option offense is always difficult to defend though, and Army was able to rush for nearly 300 yards. The Cardinal hasn't been at its sharpest yet, but will likely need to be when ASU visits this week.
3. Washington (2-0, 0-0): the Huskies' major bugaboo last year was their performance in away games. Per this week's performance against Illinois, they may finally have that monkey off their back. Washington looked pretty solid and RB Bishop Sankey looked unstoppable, but the Illini are also a bit of a mystery at this point. There's no doubt that the talent is there for the Huskies. They need to at least challenge Stanford for #2 in the division to prove they can use it. But for now they will take it out on Idaho State.
4. Washington State (2-1, 1-0): the Cougars followed up their surprise win over Southern Cal with a routine win over Southern Utah. While SUU is a FCS school, Mike Leach continues his tune up of the Wazzu offense, which put up 48 points in the victory. But that shouldn't take away from two good defensive performances in a row (only 17 points allowed the last two games). We will see if the Cougars can keep it up against lowly Idaho this week.
5. Oregon State (2-1, 1-0): well, these Beavers can score. In fact, they've put up about 43 points per game. But they've also allowed 37 points per game. It's always tough to play in Salt Lake City and they needed overtime to put Utah away, but they gave up a ton of yards and points in the process. They put the game in their QB's hand (Sean Mannion) and he delivered, but Mike Riley is likely very concerned about his defense. Luckily it doesn't look like San Diego State will present much of a challenge this week so the Beavers will have an opportunity to work on things.
6. Cal (1-2, 0-0): it is quite unfortunate for Sonny Dykes that he had two ranked opponents in his first 3 games. It is even more unfortunate that the Cal defense is terrible. The Bears got torched by #4 Ohio State's backup QB last week, who threw 3 TD passes to start the game and put Cal in a 21-0 hole. Cal didn't cave, and in fact their new QB Jared Goff had a nice game, with 371 yards and 3 TDs. So at least the Bears can score, but it doesn't look like they can score enough to make up for their defense. It could get ugly real quick when they visit Oregon this week.

We have no other help, we have no other hope, but You, O Most Pure Virgin.
(Canon of the Moleben to the Most Holy Mother of God).
In these days, when our nation and fatherland is once again experiencing a great ordeal—with the occupation of a part of our land—our hearts are filled with anxiety for the future, uncertainty and fear.
Amid these present circumstances, the Lord Himself sends us a sign of hope, just as He did to King Ahaz in the ancient days of the Old Testament. Jerusalem was under mortal threat from hostile neighbours and its ruler, King Ahaz, desperately sought support from the world powers of the time. The inspired author conveys eloquently the sentiments of the king and his vassals: "the heart of the king and of the people shook as the trees of the forest shake before the wind" (Is. 7:2). Lord sent to King Ahaz the prophet Isaiah to reassure him and to call him to fully trust in God. The king, however, continued to doubt and waver. Thus, God placed in the mouth of His prophet these words of promise: "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel" (Is. 7:14). This prototype of the protection of the Mother of God became a sign of God's personal and omnipotent sheltering of His people. At that time, the Most High asked His people and their rulers not to place undue confidence in the powerful ones of world, but rather to surrender themselves into His mighty hands by returning to His law: "In returning and rest you shall be saved, in quietness and in trust shall be your strength" (Is. 30:15).
During our Great-Fast journey, the Lord God sends us His word, calling us to sincere conversion, to an inner change, and as a guarantee of His blessing, He gives us a sign—the Most Holy, Most Pure, Most Blessed, our Glorious Lady, the Mother of God and Ever-Virgin Mary.
In all times, God has come to the aid of His people. As a sign of victory and hope is "the virgin" announced by the prophet Isaiah—the Immaculate Virgin Mary. In Sacred Scripture, the Theotokos is present from the first tragic moments of history, when—after the fall—the Creator announces the defeat of the serpent, mankind's murder, by the woman's offspring, who shall bruise the serpent's head (cf. Genesis.3:14-15). And in the last book of Scripture, the Revelation of St. John, the inspired author sees in a prophetic vision a great sign in heaven: "A woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars" (Rev. 12:1). From the mouth of the Red Dragon, who hunted this holy Woman, a deadly stream of water came forth, but he could not overcome Her. Rather, by the power of Archangel Michael, the ancient serpent was cast down to the earth and his power over the human race was destroyed forever (cf. Rev . 12:7-17).
The Mother of God accompanies humanity not only through the recorded history of Sacred Writ; she dwells with Her children always and everywhere, in all times and in every circumstance. The Most Pure Theotokos has graced many places on earth with her special presence. These unique places have become for many people, and even entire nations, signs of refuge and salvation. Such are the sites in the Holy Land near and dear to heart of every Christian—Nazareth, Bethlehem, Ein Karem, Jerusalem, all of which still attract hundreds of thousands of pilgrims from all over the world. One should also mention—Lourdes in France, Loretto in Italy, Aparecida in Brazil, Guadalupe in Mexico, Mariazell in Austria, Czestochowa in Poland, Máriapócs in Hungary, Litmanová in Slovakia. How can we also not mention the small Portuguese village of Fatima, where the Immaculate Mother of God, at the beginning of 1917, appeared to three shepherd children, asking us to pray for Russia so as to prevent the spread throughout the world of a menacing and devastating infidelity that would bring so many people immense suffering and pain. How can we also not call to mind Univ and Pochaiv, Zarvanytsya and Hoshiv, all of which are signs of the Most Holy Mother of God's care for our land during its turbulent history. Finally, let us not forget Hrushiv, and that turning point in the life of our church and country, when exactly a year after the Chernobyl disaster, the Lord gave us a sign from heaven, freeing us from fear and awakening in us a new life in a renewed country. At that time, we did not yet know how our race would end, but we felt a great hope and trust, for She, the Mother of God, was with us and through Her the Lord and Master of heaven and earth was with us.
Given the new historical circumstances, I wish to turn your spiritual eyes towards the Mother of God and, in response to Her loving and caring presence in our lives, entrust all of you to Her maternal care. During his reign, the pious Prince Yaroslav the Wise consecrated the people of Rus'-Ukraine to the Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In 1995, Myroslav Ivan Cardinal Lubachivsky, of blessed memory, renewed this consecration in Zarvanytsya.
Continuing the ministry of my great predecessors on the throne of Kyiv-Halych, I desire—in communion with the whole of our Church, both in Ukraine and abroad—to renew once again this act of consecration of the Ukrainian people to the mighty Protection of Mother of God. By this act, we recognize God's care for us, we manifest our love for the Most Holy Theotokos and our willingness to fulfill all that is commanded us by her Son, our Lord Jesus Christ; and, finally, we manifest our desire to serve God and our nation in accordance with the light of His law. Let make manifest this consecration in our lives in the form of a prayer to the Immaculate Mother of God, either personally and communally, beseeching from our Lord a blessing upon our long-suffering people through Her intercession. This prayer can be a Paraklesis, Moleben, Akafist, Rosary or any other pious practice, which we recite daily in honour of our Heavenly Queen and Intercessor, putting in Her motherly heart all of our hopes and dreams for the renewal and strengthening of our nation in Christ's truth.
I instruct the clergy to make this solemn act of consecration of Ukraine to the Protection of the Most Holy Mother of God on Sunday, April 6th, after each Divine Liturgy in all of our churches. The liturgical order for this consecration—and some other practical guidelines—are attached to this letter. I ask that all the faithful properly prepare for this solemn occasion by receiving the sacraments of Confession and Holy Eucharist, and by doing works of mercy and penance.
I invite and encourage all the bishops, priests, monks, nuns and the laity of our church to persevere in hope and prayer to the Most Holy Mother of God, so as to always remain beneath Her Protection, and when the spiritual labour of the Great Fast has reached the light of our Lord Jesus Christ's Resurrection, that we may also be witnesses and partakers in the renewal of our beloved fatherland.
May the blessing of Almighty God, through the prayers of the Theotokos, descend upon our people—in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
After the conclusion of the prayer beyond the ambo and the singing of "Blessed be the name of the Lord" (and the 33nd Psalm), the Priest and concelebrants stand on the ambo.
Let us sinners humbly and diligently have recourse to the Mother of God.* Prostrate in repentance, let us cry out from the depth of our soul:* O Queen, in your compassion, come to our aid!* Make haste, for we are perishing from the multitude of our sins.* Do not turn away your servants empty-handed,* for we have no protection besides you.
Unworthy as we are,* we shall never cease to proclaim your power, O Mother of God.* If you no longer intercede for us,* who will deliver us from so many misfortunes?* Who will keep us free?* We shall never leave you, O Queen O blessed Lady,* you always save your servants from every calamity.
Most Holy, Most Pure, Most Blessed Virgin Mother of God. To the sorrowful, you are a great intercessor, quick to help, the salvation and support of humanity and the unwavering Protectress of the whole world. Before your throne, we give glory to you with confident hope that you will implore for us mercy and grace, active assistance and defence at this time of tribulation; not because of any merit of ours, upon which we cannot depend, but because of the immeasurable goodness of your motherly heart. Therefore, today we hasten to you and fervently implore you: With the mantle of your mercy, cover your Church and our whole people that cry out to you.
Faithful: Most Holy Mother of God, save us! Presvjata Bohorodytse, spasy nas!
We are distraught by dire experiences and they fill our souls with great sorrow; appease them with the peace of your Son and God, O immaculate Virgin. Take away our soulful storm of grief; for you, Bride of God, all-pure one, gave birth to Christ, the Prince of Peace.
To us, who cry out to you, reveal the depths of your mercy and obtain for us the forgiveness of all our sins, for you, for whom praises are sung, gave birth to the Kind-hearted One – the Saviour of us all.
O God-loved Theotokos, the only ever-virgin, help those who lay upon their beds of pain and suffering; heal the wounded, wipe away the tears of the mournful, protect the wanderers, and comfort those who are persecuted; be a willing intercessor for all who call upon you.
Bride of God, who gave birth to the Lord our Helmsman, give us courageous and wise leaders of Church and society; by your prayers obtain for them the light of the Holy Spirit so that enlightened by it they would guide along the ways of truth the People of God that call out to you in faith.
Powerful Commander and Leader of heavenly legions, you who by raising your hands in prayer, conquer enemies and overcome all aggressors, strengthen our soldiers, grant them the strength and courage to defend with an unyielding shield their people that calls out to you.
O immaculate Mother of the Word Incarnate! Bless all of our families; grant us temporal wellbeing and health, and especially – the Grace of God and a virtuous Christian life.
Good teacher of the young and innocent and Source of knowledge and wisdom, guide our youth along the path of truth, strengthen them in the virtues, teach them to desire greatness and to follow the calling of the Most High, always growing in wisdom and the Grace of God.
O Mother of mercy, ask of the Most High God, complete and righteous peace for our lands, not only protection from armed conflict, but also liberation from hatred and discord, from malice and the desire for vengeance. Bring us to a peace founded on truth, justice, forgiveness and love.
O Mother of God and Protectress of the Ukrainian lands! In haste, we gather under the mantle of your mercy, and we implore your help and in you alone do we set our hope. Accept us all under your protection, bless us and preserve us as your chosen community. By your prayers, make us proficient adherers of the commandments of Christ. Abide with us always as the merciful and kind one who loves us all; and in the present life be our warm defender and helper, expelling the battalions of our adversaries and setting us on the way of salvation. For we have no other helper, we have no other hope, except you, Most Pure Virgin! Come to our aid; we set our hopes on you and you are our glory: for we are your servants, that we may not be disparaged now, always and for ever and ever.
Priest: The blessing of the Lord be upon you with His grace and love for mankind, always, now and for ever and ever.
Priest: Glory to you, O Christ our God, our hope, glory be to you.
Choir: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and for ever and ever. Amen. Lord, have mercy. (thrice). Give the blessing.
The Priest delivers the Sunday dismissal. Choir: Amen.
Священик голосно промовляє нижчеподану молитву.
Пресвята, Пречиста, Преблагословенна Богородице Діво. Ти для скорботних велика заступниця, негайна помічниця, спасіння та підпора людства і всього світу незмінна покровителька! Перед твоїм престолом славимо тебе в певній надії, що випросиш для нас милосердя і благодать, дієву допомогу й захист у ці дні випробувань, не за наші заслуги, на які покликатися не можемо, але з незмірної доброти твого материнського серця. Тому до тебе нині прибігаємо і усильно просимо: покрий омофором милості твоєї Церкву і ввесь народ наш, що кличе до тебе.
Вірні: Пресвята Богородице, спаси нас!
Тяжкі нас засмучують досвіди і сповняють великої журби наші душі; то ж утихомир їх миром Сина й Бога твого, всенепорочна Діво. Усунь, Діво, душевну бурю журби нашої, бо ти, Богоневісто, як єдина Пречиста, Начальника миру – Христа породила.
Вияви нам, що до тебе кличемо, глибину твого милосердя і випроси нам прощення усіх провин, бо ти породила Добросердого і Спаса всіх, що тебе оспівують.
Допоможи, боголюбна Богородице, єдина Вседіво, тим, що лежать на постелі своїх болів і немочі, зціли поранених, утри сльози засмучених, захисти скитальців і пригорни переслідуваних, будь готовим заступництвом усім, що призивають тебе.
Богоневісто, що Керманича Господа породила, даруй нам мужніх і мудрих провідників на церковній і народній ниві, вимоли для них світло Святого Духа, щоб Ним просвічені провадили дорогами правди люд Божий, що з вірою кличе до тебе.
Могутня Воєводино і полків небесних Провіднице, ти, що, піднісши свої руки на моління, перемагаєш ворогів та долаєш усіх супротивників, укріпи наших воїнів, даруй їм силу і відвагу щитом могутнім захищати свій народ, що кличе.
О Мати непорочна Воплоченого Слова! Благослови всі наші родини, дай нам дочасний добробут і здоров'я, а ще більше – Божу благодать і чесноти християнського життя.
Добра вихователько дів і Джерело знання та мудрості, провадь нашу молодь дорогою правди, скріпи в чеснотах, навчи великого бажати та йти за покликом Всевишнього, зростаючи в мудрості і благодаті Божій.
О Мати милосердя, випроси від Всевишнього Бога повний і справедливий мир для нашої землі, не тільки захорону перед збройними боями, але і визволення від ненависті й чварів, від злоби і бажання помсти. Доведи нас до миру, заснованого на правді, справедливості, прощенні й любові.
О Мати Божа і Покровителько української землі! Під твою милість прибігаємо, твоєї помочі благаємо, тільки на тебе уповаємо. Прийми нас всіх під свій Покров, благослови нас і зберігай як свою вибрану громаду. Зроби нас своїми молитвами вмілими виконавцями Христових заповідей. Будь при нас як милостива, й милосердна, і чоловіколюбна, завжди і в теперішньому житті, теплою заступницею і помічницею, відганяючи полки супротивників, наставляючи нас на спасіння. Бо не маємо іншої допомоги, не маємо іншої надії, крім тебе, Пречиста Діво! Ти нам допоможи, на тебе надіємось і тобою хвалимось: бо ми твої слуги, щоб ми не посоромилися нині, і повсякчас, і на віки вічні.
Священик: Благословення Господнє на вас, з Його благодаттю і чоловіколюб'ям, завжди, нині, і повсякчас, і на віки вічні.
Священик виголошує недільний відпуст. Хор: Амінь.
Most Reverend Metropolitans and Bishops. Very Reverend Priests, Religious Monastic! Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ!
At the same time, we will always keep in mind that the results of this winter were not the accomplishment of human hands: "if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us up alive (Psalm 124: 2-3) We became witnesses and conveyers of the mystery of the actions of God's grace, witnesses that, "what is impossible for man, is possible for God". (Luke 18:26).
This year in particular, the Great Fast challenges Ukrainians to overcome the sins of hatred and distrust. This is especially the case for those who have been entrusted with the helm of the nation. It is difficult for us to trust the new leadership today, because we have experienced authorities that enslave, humiliate and kill. Thus, it will take a great effort to overcome this sin. The first step in this direction must be forgiveness. A good opportunity for this is "Forgiveness Sunday" which opens the way to reconciliation with God and neighbour.
Together with this, we must remember that trust toward a restored authority cannot be blind and should usher in an active sharing of responsibility for that which happens on our country. This shared responsibility must emanate from each of us: with responsibility for our own household, our village or city, and for our country – remembering that every citizen must not demand of oneself any less then he/she would demand of others.
28 February 2014 A. D.
 The "Great Fast" is the term used by the Ukrainian Church for Lent, as it is the most significant of four more major fasting periods of the year.
 "Maidan" is the Ukrainian word for "Square" and in this case it refers to the central major Independence Square ("Maidan Nezalezhnosti") in the capital city of Kyiv where the protesters of the corrupt government first gathered and remain to this day.
 Translation of "Nebesna Sotnya", the title given to the over 80 people who were killed, mainly be sniper fire, on the Maidan during the protests in Kyiv February, 2014. "Sotnya" is a military unity used by Ukrainian Cossacks that somewhat equates with the 'legions' of 100 soldiers used by the ancient Roman army.

We decided to celebrate by going back in time to Madison Avenue in the 1960s. This meant channeling our inner ad-women and creating some Artificial advertisements. Can you guess the original brands?
No Artificial party would be complete without beautiful and delicious food and drink. For our third birthday, we created a cocktail for each of us, pre-mixed for easy consumption. As a takeaway, we created a recipe book for anyone wanting to recreate our concoctions at home. If you forgot to grab one, the recipes are below!
We also used our new button maker to create drink pins. Earned for trying the different drinks, it was easy to see which drinks were the biggest hits (and which drinkers were the thirstiest).
With everyone dressed in their 1960s best, we had to have a photobooth. Our looks were completed with fake cigarettes, roses, and prop glasses.
Thank you everyone who celebrated our third birthday. We look forward to number four!


The Second International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation has been initiated by ELRA and is organised in cooperation with other Associations and Consortia, including ACL, ALLC, COCOSDA, ORIENTAL COCOSDA, EAFT, EAGLES, EDR, ELSNET, ESCA, EURALEX, FRANCIL, LDC, PAROLE, TELRI, etc., and with major national and international organisations, including the European Commission - DG XIII, ARPA, NSF, the IC/863 HTRDP Project (China), the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the ICSP Permanent Committee (Korea), The Natural Language Technical committee of JEIDA (Japan), and the Japanese Project for International Coordination in Corpora, Assessment and Labelling. Cooperation and support from other institutions is currently being sought.
In the framework of the Information Society, the pervasive character of Human Language Technologies (HLT) and their relevance to practically all the fields of Information Society Technologies (IST) has been widely recognised.
Two issues are currently considered particularly relevant: 1) the availability of language resources and 2) the methods for the evaluation of resources, technologies and products. Substantial mutual benefits can be expected from addressing these issues through international cooperation.
The term language resources (LR) refers to sets of language data and descriptions in machine readable form, used specifically for building and evaluating natural language and speech algorithms or systems, for software localisation industries and language services, for language enabled information and communication services, for electronic commerce, electronic publishing, language studies, subject-area specialists and end users.
Examples of language resources are written and spoken corpora, computational lexica, grammars, terminology databases, and basic software tools for the acquisition, preparation, collection, management, customisation and use of these and other resources.
The relevance of evaluation for Language Engineering is increasingly recognised. This involves assessment of the state of the art for a given technology, measuring the progress achieved within a programme, comparing different approaches to a given problem and choosing the best solution, knowing its advantages and drawbacks, assessment of the availability of technologies for a given application, product benchmarking, and assessment of user satisfaction.
Language engineering and R&D in language technologies have made important advances in the recent past in various aspects of both written and spoken language processing. Although the evaluation paradigm has been studied and used in large national and international programmes, including the US ARPA HLT programme, the EU LE programme under R&D framework programmes, the Francophone Aupelf-Uref programme and others, and in the localisation industry (LISA and LRC), it is still subject to substantial unresolved basic research problems.
The aim of this conference is to provide an overview of the state of the art, to discuss problems and opportunities, and to exchange information regarding ongoing and planned activities, language resources and their applications. We also intend to discuss evaluation methodologies and demonstrate evaluation tools, and explore possibilities and promote initiatives for international cooperation in the areas mentioned above.

Editing Dan
Gush Dan (Gooh-Sh Dahn Hebrew: גּוּשׁ דָּן) is the name of the [[Tel Aviv]] metropolitan area including areas from both the Tel Aviv District and the Central District of [[Israel]] on the Mediterranean coast. It is the largest metropolitan area in Israel, with a population of approximately 1.75 million. It is divided into an inner and an outer layer. The inner layer includes Tel Aviv, Bat Yam, [[Holon]], [[Ramat Gan]], Givatayim, Bene Beraq, [[Herzliya]], Or Yehuda and Kiryat Ono, as well as a multitude of towns (local municipalities). The outer layer includes Petah Tikva, Hod Hasharon, Kfar Saba, Raanana, Yehud, Ramla, Lod, Rishon Lezion, Nes Ziyyona and Rehovot, as well as a multitude of towns (local municipalities). Gush Dan also has its own bus transportation company, the Dan Bus Cooperative, which is the equivalent of Egged, Israel's biggest bus company, and the 2nd biggest in the world. The name Gush Dan means "Dan Block", and is so named because the area was the territory of the tribe of Dan in the ancient Kingdom of Israel. {{stub-region}} {{Regions Israel}} [[Category:Regions Israel]]

Shaun Marsh missed his century by a whisker as Australia set India a daunting target of 384 after declaring their second innings at 318-9 on a rain-hit final day of the third cricket Test here today.
Marsh's 99-run innings was studded with 11 fours and two sixes as he took Australia's lead to 383 runs at the Melbourne Cricket Ground after rain delayed play twice in the morning session.
Australia declared their innings at lunch and India now have to score 384 runs in 70 overs across two sessions of play to remain alive in this four-match series.
Play started early by 30 minutes to make up for the time lost on day four, but only three balls into the day and rain came down to stop the proceedings. There was a 40-minute delay before resumption of play again.
Marsh and Ryan Harris (21) continued to take their time and it looked like scoring runs was not on their agenda. Only 57 runs came in this morning session and the run-rate was nothing to write home about.
It could be seen from the fact that the first boundary came in only the 83rd over, the 8th over of the morning.
India looked like they were waiting for the declaration to come about, while Australia were looking to play for time as the pitch didn't show enough variable bounce like in Brisbane or deterioration like in Adelaide.
When play resumed, Harris was the first to depart of the two batsmen, caught behind off Mohammad Shami (2-92). There were only 20-odd minutes left in the session as Nathan Lyon (1*) came out to bat, but probably with the message that the team management intended to declare at the break.

Two treating systems have been developed to provide corrosion control of gas-lift well tubulars by continuously injecting corrosion inhibitor into the gas-lift gas stream. The amount of inhibitor injected is controlled by either a system of proportional divider valves or by an auto mated time-shared proportional divider valves or by an auto mated time-shared system using an electronic scanner and an adjustable time to control solenoid valves.
Internal corrosion of tubulars in gas-lifted oil wells along the Texas Gulf Coast is widespread and often quite severe. The corrosion attack is caused by production of large volumes of salt water, particularly from the predominantly water drive reservoirs in this area, predominantly water drive reservoirs in this area, coupled with the presence of carbon dioxide in the produced gas. Carbon dioxide dioxide dissolved in salt produced gas. Carbon dioxide dioxide dissolved in salt water forms an acidic brine solution that causes a general corrosion attack on steel tubulars. This form of corrosion often results in heavy localized pitting, with the greatest metal loss in gas-lifted wells usually occurring in the portion of the tubing string above the operating gas-lift portion of the tubing string above the operating gas-lift valve. Corrosion severity is often such that tubing strings require replacement as frequently as every 6 months. Plastic-coated tubing has solved, to an extent some of our severest tubing corrosion problems; but it cannot be economically justified in many instances. During the past several years, corrosion has become an increasing problem as a result of the need for capacity production. Corrosive high-water-cut wells are being production. Corrosive high-water-cut wells are being produced; and additional turbulence in the tubing from produced; and additional turbulence in the tubing from higher producing rates accelerates the corrosion-erosion attack. This paper describes systems developed to replace conventional down-hole corrosion-inhibitor batch treatments with continuous inhibitor injection into the gas-lift stream. The systems allow control of treatment for individual wells.
Corrosion of steel tubulars in gas-lift wells can be controlled by application of properly selected corrosion inhibitors. Corrosion control programs for gas-lift wells commonly use one of the following batch treating techniques: Tubing displacement Corrosion inhibitor in displaced to the bottom of the tubing string with the inhibitor forming a protective film on the tubing. Weighted inhibitor weighted corrosive inhibitor is pumped into a well where it falls to bottom then slowly comes back in the produced fluid, forming and replenishing a protective film on the tubing. Formation squeeze Inhibitor is squeezed (pumped) into the producing formation; inhibitor is adsorbed on the formation and subsequently desorbs into the produced fluids, forming and replenishing a protective film on the tubing. Successful corrosion control programs using these treating methods are expensive, since they usually require a truck-mounted pump and operator in addition to the inhibitor. Schedules for such programs are frequently difficult to maintain, resulting in treatment inconsistency. It is also difficult to optimize treatment size vs frequency to avoid periods of under-or over-treatment. Operating problems often associated with programs using batch treating techniques are the following (1) Wells must be shut in to treat, resulting in lost production.


Officials in downtown Bolton were able to shrink the size of an evacuation cordon after ice jams along the Humber River resulted in flooding Friday night that receded throughout the day Saturday.
Several roads in the vicinity of King and Queen Streets were covered by up to 1.5 feet of water when the Humber River began to overflow its banks at around 7 p.m. on Friday.
Emergency officials initially ordered the evacuation of about 45 homes but then at 1:30 a.m. they opted to extend the evacuation order south to cover another 40 or so homes.
Caledon Fire Chief Darryl Bailey says that about 30 of the evacuated homes have likely been directly affected by the flooding with the damage ranging from minor to significant.
At about 5 p.m. Saturday, the water levels had dropped to a point where all roadways had dried.
Officials told CTV News Toronto that all but 12-15 families would be able to return to their homes by the end of Saturday night.
Contractors using heavy equipment were able to break up three of the ice jams overnight and are now focusing their efforts on a fourth and final ice jam, which Bailey said was initially difficult to access due to some trees and other woodland in the area.
He said that crews have recorded a 20 centimtre drop in overall water flow from Friday night but still need to clear the final ice jam to allow the existing floodwaters to subside.
That work, he said, will likely continue through the night and into tomorrow morning.
"We are fairly confident at this point that we are not going to see anymore flooding increase in the area we are dealing with. The floodwater that is there now will remain in place because there is nowhere for the water to go; just through the natural course of the water leaving the area," he said.
Still a disaster area, mayor says.
A temporary evacuation centre for displaced residents was set up at the Caledon Centre for Recreation and Wellness and is expected to remain open as long as parts of the community remain under an evacuation order.
Caledon Mayor Allan Thompson, however, told CP24 on Saturday morning that the neighbourhood around the Humber River downtown is still considered a "disaster area" for now.
He said that city workers have been monitoring the Humber River and preparing for potential flooding for "more than a week" but were unable to predict where ice jams might develop.
Officials with the Toronto Region Conservation Authority are currently on scene, as are Ontario Provincial Police and firefighters.
A nearby Hampton Inn is housing some households for the night at no charge.
Bailey said that while plunging temperatures overnight did "slow up" the flow of water, it has also created icy conditions that will pose further complications for homeowners.
"Now we are dealing with ice and some of the homes that don't have power and don't have heat we will be worrying about that as well given some of the freezing around the foundations and in the basements," he said.
Though now dry, King Street is still closed from David Street to Evans Ridge Road due the presence of heavy equipment and emergency vehicles.
The road could re-open sometime tomorrow.
A flooded street in downtown Bolton is shown on Saturday, March 16.

The Top Eight Business Continuity Threats of 2022
State of business continuity and resilience in 2022
In 2022, businesses are struggling to find their bearings, after two years of radical shifts in the business environment.
As a result, the capacity to adapt quickly has become a prerequisite to continuing to deliver services in this era of change.
The firms that have this capacity – also known as organisational resilience – will be better poised to anticipate threats and respond to opportunities.
The only problem – too few do.
A cursory look at the state of business continuity going into 2022 suggests not enough firms are prepared. According to the latest PWC Global Crisis Survey, as many as 95 per cent of business leaders report that their crisis management capabilities need improvement.
At least, senior leadership, thanks to the pandemic, is becoming more attuned to the importance of organisational resilience. That awareness, however, hasn't trickled down to staff. Forty per cent of management teams might be very aware of the role of resilience in their organisation, but only 16 per cent of staff are.

Whisky is sometimes considered to be an acquired taste. Not for all, the golden dram is not for everyone. And yet, how many of us can truly say that we've tried and tasted some of the finest whiskies, enough to give an informed opinion?
I've always been pretty impartial to whisky, enjoying a taste when it's around but never actively seeking it.
However, my curiosity was sufficiently piqued when I was invited to attend the Birmingham Whisky Club's event, New Releases by Pernod Ricard.
Hosted in the upstairs room at The Wellington pub, I joined a mixed group of men and women, from different backgrounds and ages, to taste five whiskies; Scapa Glansa ABV 40%, Chivas Regal Extra ABV 40%, Chivas Regal Ultis Blended Malt ABV 40%, Longmorn 16 ABV 48% and The Glenlivet Peated Cask ABV 61.5%.
Presented by Lauren Mustard, the Chivas Regal Brand Ambassador, she talked us through the history of the brand, how each whisky was made, what kind of barrels were used in the process and also the characteristics of each whisky.
By no means a connoisseur, I learnt a lot from the whisky tasting. I also really enjoyed the pace, which was slow enough to allow everyone to taste, appreciate and also discuss each whisky whilst still keeping our interest.
The first whisky we tried, the Scapa Glansa, is matured in American barrels and available only in specialist retailers. From the Speyside area, this area is known as a centre for distilleries because whisky was easy to hide in the valley! Known as the smooth flowing one, this was fruity, floral and sweet.
Second along was the Chivas Regal Extra, a blended scotch of single malt and grain led whisky. This process was started by an American, Robert Stein, and refined by an Irishman, making it not too Scottish at all! The grain whisky is considered to be a canvas on which to paint the malt. This whisky is smooth, rich and harmonious, which is considered to be the house style of Chivas Regal.
Here, we learnt a lot about whisky barrels, about how casks can be used for up to 90 years after which all the oak colours and flavours will have been drawn out. Over time, a spirit line appears and this is how to tell how much longer the barrel is good for. Often, barrels are repurposed too and made into different shapes to hold different spirits.
Thirdly, we tried the Chivas Regal Ultis, another blended malt released in October 2016. This used five single malts, and Ultis means strength in Latin. With a floral element and a spicy element too, the blend honours five master blenders and uses five single malts from five Speyside distilleries. The names of the master blenders are even featured on the box, along with the Chivas Regal symbol which represents friendship and included Scottish symbols such as the lance.
The penultimate whisky we tried was the Longmorn, a single malt from Elgin created in 1893 by John Duff, a Victorian whisky personality. Matured for a minimum of three years, this was characterised by mellow caramel and toffee flavours which made it easy to drink. This was by far my favourite tipple of the evening. A helpful whisky connoisseur recommended I try the Glendronach 8 or 12 year old since I enjoyed this so much.
Lastly, the Glenlivet is a cask strength single malt, which is finished off in a peated cask. Typically, peated whiskies come from the islands, but not in this case.
Two hours later and I could safely say that I'm a little wiser on the ways of whisky, but by no means an expert! It was fascinating to learn a little more about the history and the making of whisky, as well as tasting the differences between each kind. What's the prescription? Another dram of whisky for me, there's still plenty to learn!
Siamais restaurant has just opened in Brindleyplace, Birmingham, and I was lucky enough to attend the launch event and also sit down for a three course meal on the night.
Located on the corner of Oozells Street by the IKON Gallery, Siamais sits on the site of Thai Edge. Offering Thai food and cocktails, the restaurant takes it's name from the word Siamese to reflect the dual experience on offer to customers.
At the entrance is a gorgeous gothic cocktail bar, decorated with lamps and skulls to create an exotic, stylish area for serious cocktail drinking.
Beyond here is the main restaurant, where diners can sit and eat in a space that's quite separate from the bar area.
At the launch, we were treated to a VIP night of smoking cocktails, music and Thai treats.
This was prime selfie time and you can see I got to spend time with the very lovely Denise Morris and Claire from Nosh and Breks.
After the cocktails, we were seated and presented with a menu that included dishes such as satay chicken, prawn rolls, stir fried chicken beef or lamb and pad thai.
As a gluten free diner, the team were great at navigating me through the menu and instead of a starter platter, I was able to try the Tom Yum soup instead of the House Platter of prawn rolls, fish cakes, spring rolls, satay chicken and chicken wrapped in Pandan leaves. There was also an option to try the Vegetable Platter which included spring rolls, deep fried tofu, sweetcorn cakes, deep fried vegetables and samosas.
My Tom Yum was exactly as I'd want it to be, and edged enough to the side of sour to make me believe that this is a pretty authentic rendering of the dish.
I also tried the chicken satay and chicken wrapped in Pandan leaves, and was again pleased with how well these had been cooked and how delicious and tender they were.
Onto the main course, there was a choice of chicken or vegetable Thai Green Curry, vegetable or seafood Pad Thai or a spicier option of stir fried chicken, beef or lamb.
I opted for the Thai Green Chicken Curry and was again, pleased to find that there is finally a new player in the fight for the title of 'Best Thai in Birmingham'. Again, this was exactly as I'd want it to be, creamy without being overpowering, with large tender chunks of chicken and vegetables that made this a dish I can't wait to try again.
At the table, we were also able to try another cocktail, this time the Oriental Orchid. I picked this as my tastebuds do tend to edge towards the sweet scale. A blend of vodka and peach, served in something that looks like it came out the laboratory was light, but sweeter than I expected. However, the presentation was excellent, hot on the heels of our favourite trend for chemistry inspired concoctions.
Finally, we were able to finish off with a little bit of something sweet, the mango and coconut Thai sticky rice. A small but perfectly formed portion, I adored this dessert for being sweet enough to satiate a craving, but light enough to not overpower the meal. I'd take this over an Alabama Fudge Cake any day.
Siamais offers cocktails and Thai dining without compromise. Whether you're happy to stay at the bar and work your way through the extensive cocktail menu or prefer a quieter night at the main restaurant, you'd be happy with your evening either way. The cocktails on offer were varied, thoughtful presented and well executed, whilst the food was to an exceedingly high standard and fills the gap for Thai food, something which is under-represented in Birmingham. Personally, I can't wait to come back again soon.
*With thanks to Siamais and Delicious PR for the invitation.

Song Lyric Sunday – Come On Eileen
by Christine Bolton • February 16, 2020 • 20 Comments
Thank you Jim Adams for the series of prompts this week for Song Lyric Sunday. With words like Come, Go, Leave and Stay I new there would be many songs to choose from. My pick is Come on Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners. This is one of those songs that always puts me in a place and time when you hear it. The video begins with some footage of 1950's singer/songwriter Johnny Ray arriving in London. The opening lines of the song refer to him.
Hope you enjoy it and have a great Sunday.
Come On Eileen" is a song by English group Dexys Midnight Runners (credited to Dexys Midnight Runners and the Emerald Express), released in the United Kingdom on 25 June 1982 as a single from their album Too-Rye-Ay. It reached number one in the United States, and was their second number one hit in the UK, following 1980's "Geno". The song was written by Kevin Rowland, Jim Paterson and Billy Adams, and was produced by Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley.
"Come On Eileen" won Best British Single at the 1983 Brit Awards and in 2015 the song was voted by the British public as the nation's sixth favourite 1980s number one in a poll for ITV. It was ranked number 18 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the '80s.
There are various versions of the song, some in addition to the main section featuring either an intro of a Celtic fiddle solo, or an a cappella coda both based on Thomas Moore's Irish folk song "Believe Me, if All Those Endearing Young Charms".
The main section begins with a Celtic-style fiddle played over a drum beat, with the bass guitar and piano providing accompaniment.
The lyrics of the song begin with the lines:
Poor old Johnnie Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
Moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried, sang along
Who would blame them?
The phrase "Come on Eileen" is used as the chorus to the song, which was loosely inspired by the song "A Man Like Me" by the 1960s British soul group Jimmy James and the Vagabonds.
The bridge of "Come On Eileen" features an improvised counter-melody which begins in a slow tempo and gets faster and faster over an accelerando vocal backing. The chord sequence of the bridge is actually the same as the verses, but transposed up by a whole tone.
Throughout the song, there are numerous tempo changes and key changes:
The 1982 music video was filmed in the inner south London suburb of Kennington in the vicinity of the corner of Brook Drive and Hayles Street, then Austral Street and Holyoak Road. The character of "Eileen" in the music video, as well as on the single cover, is played by Máire Fahey, sister of Siobhan Fahey from Bananarama.
Archival footage of Johnnie Ray arriving at London Heathrow Airport in 1954 was featured in the video.
In a poll by Channel 4 a UK TV channel, the song was placed at number 38 in the 100 greatest number one singles of all time. Similar polls by the music channel VH1 placed the song at number three in the 100 Greatest One-hit Wonders of all time,] number 18 in VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 1980's[5] and number one in the 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s[14] (the group had a previous number-one single in the UK—"Geno" in 1980—but "Come On Eileen" was their only US hit). "Come on Eileen" has sold 1.33 million copies in the UK as of June 2013.
The song reached number one in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100 charts during the week ending 23 April 1983. "Come on Eileen" prevented Michael Jackson from having back-to-back number one hits in the US: "Billie Jean" was the number one single the previous seven weeks, while "Beat It" was the number one song the ensuing three.

Come on, Eileen
Poor old Johnny Ray
But he moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried, sang along, who'd blame them
You're grown (so grown up)
So grown (so grown up)
Now I must say more than ever
(Come on, Eileen)
Too ra loo ra too ra loo rye aye
And we can sing just like our fathers
Come on, Eileen, oh I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah, come on, Eileen
These people 'round here
Were beaten down, eyes sunk in smoke-dried face
They're resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no, never), no, not us (no, never)
We are far to young and clever
(Remember)
And you'll hum this tune forever
Come on, Eileen, oh, I swear (what he means)
Ah, come on let's take off everything
That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah, come on let's, ah, come on, Eileen
Ah come on let's, ah, come on, Eileen, please
Come on, Eileen, too rye aye
Now you're full grown
Now you have shown
Oh, Eileen
Said, come on, Eileen
These things they are real and I know
How you feel
Things 'round here have changed
I say, too ra loo ra, too raloo rye aye
Oh, I swear (what he means)
Oh, come on, Eileen
In that dress, oh, my thoughts I confess
Well, they're dirty

Every Eileen I know hears me singing this song to them!
Yes! Funny though because I can't think of anyone I know called Eileen 😀
This song has it all. Never knew the name of it or who did it, but every time it came on the radio I got dancing feet. Excellent choice and good to learn about the song.
I did too. The song just made me so happy! Glad you liked it Lisa 🤣
Took me back to High School. This song always gets stuck in my head!
That's good Lisa! Happy memories I hope ☺
Yes happy memories. 😊
Johnny Ray was popular in the 50s and some people say that he was a precursor to what would become rock and roll.
Yes I think you're right. We had some of his records when I was a kid. They were my mum and dads
Christine this wonderful song brings back so many wonderful memories 💜💜
Yes this song seems to do that to many of us. Thanks Willow 🥰
💜💜💜
It was a great song-a-long song! 🙂
Stroke Survivor UK
Brilliant choice. I loveDexy's
Yes such a great song!
Can't help but get 80s-brain when I hear this one!
Too raloo rye aye! Great share! 😄👍
I always sing that part out loud! 🤣
Come on, Christine……. xx
🙂👍


Dr. Kenneth R. Morris received a dual B.S. in Chemistry and Aquatic Biology from Eastern Michigan University in 1978 an M.S. in Pharmaceutical Chemistry from the University of Arizona (1986) and his Ph.D. from the University of Arizona in 1988. After getting his Ph.D., he joined E.R. Squibb and Sons. There he developed the Physical Characterization group and co-developed the Materials Science function. He went on to form the Pre-formulation/Physical Pharmacy group in the Bristol-Myers Products organization, which he led along with Analytical Chemistry. During his time at BMS he also served as a teaching and advising adjunct professor at Rutgers College of Pharmacy and St. Johns University. Dr. Morris then moved to the department of Industrial and Physical Pharmacy at Purdue University in the fall of 1997 where he continued his work in Pharmaceutical Materials Science and Industrial Pharmacy. He was also a professor and associate head for the department. In 2008 Dr. Morris moved to the University of Hawaii at Hilo to help establish the new College of Pharmacy and Ph.D. program in Pharmaceutical Sciences. He also served as the Department Chair from 2012-2015 and Chair of the Graduate Council for the University. In 2015 Dr. Morris moved to Long Island University as a University Professor and founding Director of the Lachman Institute for Pharmaceutical Analysis. His research and teaching interests include: analytical tools for solid state characterization; the study of the impact of processing on the physical characteristics of formulation components and on subsequent dosage form performance; pharmaceutical unit operation optimization; advanced applications of powder x-ray diffraction and dielectric analysis; the study of the association of water with pharmaceutical solids; and modeling and methods for monitoring processing unit operations. Dr. Morris is an AAPS fellow (American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists) and was the Purdue University Site leader for the NSF Engineering Research Center for Structured Organic Composites (ERC-SOPS). Professor Morris is a special government employee and past-chair of the U.S. FDA Scientific Advisory Committee for the Office of Pharmaceutical Sciences (ACPS-OPS) advising the agency in his areas of expertise.
The majority of my research is in the emerging discipline of Pharmaceutical Material Science. This area can be described as the study of the impact of the physico-chemical properties of formulation components on the performance of the final pharmaceutical dosage form. These properties include: particle size, shape, surface area, and charge; crystal structure, lattice energy, forms (i.e.: polymorphs and hydrates), morphology; relative crystallinity (and amorphous content); hygroscopicity; and solubility. These properties affect powder flow, mixing, compaction, and physical stability, which, in turn, determine the dosage form performance. Changes in these critical properties that occur during processing can, therefore, alter dosage form performance. A focus of our research is the use of advanced analytical techniques to follow these properties throughout the manufacturing process. The techniques include: powder and single crystal x-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermal gravimetric analysis, mid and near diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infra-red spectrophotometry, dielectric spectroscopy, and molecular and crystallographic modeling.

Each of the first two days includes one four-match session of four-ball and one four-match session of foursomes. The final day is reserved for 12 singles matches.
In four-ball, each member of a two-man team plays his own ball, so four balls are in play on every hole. Each team counts the lowest of its two scores on each hole, and the team whose player has the lowest score wins the hole. If the low scores are tied, the hole is halved.
In foursomes, each two-man team plays one ball per hole with the players taking turns until each hole is complete. Players alternate hitting tee shots, with one leading off on odd-numbered holes, and the other hitting first on even-numbered holes. The team with the low score on each hole wins that hole. If their scores are tied, the hole is halved.
In singles, each matches features one player from each team. The player with the lower score on each hole wins that hole. If their scores are tied, the hole is halved.
Each match is worth one point, with matches ending in a draw worth ½ point to each side. The first team to reach 14 ½ points wins the Ryder Cup. If the matches end in a 14-14 draw, the team holding the Ryder Cup retains it.
The three days of the matches consist of 28 total matches, each of which is worth one point. There are no extra holes in Ryder Cup matches. Should the two sides be tied after 18 holes, each side earns a halve (½ point).
To win the Ryder Cup outright, a team must collect 14 ½ of the 28 points available. In the case of a 14-14 draw, the winning team from the previous Ryder Cup retains the trophy.
Unlike stroke play, players don't have to complete each hole in match play. If a player concedes a stroke – almost always a putt – to his opponent, the opponent picks up his ball, takes the score he would have made on the next stroke and moves on to the next hole.

Students might help College pick new faculty
By Deirdre Erin Murphy
The University's tradition of student involvement may get an additional boost in the College. The Arts and Sciences Council, comprised of students representatives from the College, hopes to start a program that would increase student involvement in faculty hiring within the College.
Although still in its preliminary stages, Council members said they hope the initiative will allow students to give input into who will be their next professor.
"At a big university there are so many aspects to consider when hiring a new professor," Council President Kerry McNabb said. "I think that the faculty considers certain aspects that are valid, but they are not the only aspects that the students think about."
The idea for the initiative came up at a February roundtable discussion between College Dean Edward L. Ayers and Council.
"I think it's a great idea for students to come to job talks and to ask good questions and to let people know in the department what they thought of it," Ayers said. "Student involvement in the hiring process would really be a welcome thing."
Currently, a few departments have students provide feedback on prospective hires, but it is not widely practiced, Council members said.
The initiative aims to compile lists of students who show a strong interest in each department within the College, for example, Distinguished Majors, academic fraternity members and club members.
The lists then would be provided to department heads for individualized use.
"We are going to have a lot of different ideas on how the departments can use us," Council Academic Affairs Committee Chair Steve Marchette said. "It will be an individual departmental decision on how they want to do it."
Possible student involvement could include listening to prospective hires lecture or teach a class. Students could then fill out evaluations or talk with hiring committees.
"We thought this was a really great way for students to have a voice in what they think will make a good professor," said Catherine Neale, current Council treasurer and president-elect. "I think it's a great opportunity for both the department and for students."
Student involvement would be limited to input, but both Ayers and Council members said they believe that would be very helpful.
"That leaves a lot of latitude for students to let us know who would be an interesting teacher and who appeals to them," Ayers said.
Council still is in the list-compiling stage, but hopes to have the program implemented in the upcoming year.
"The focus is to build the infrastructure for next year," Marchette said. "If it turns out that we can build the infrastructure quickly and efficiently then we can" start the initiative this year.
And Council is dedicated to making this happen.
"Arts and Sciences Council is working hard towards this and we hope to see it through," Neale said.
All students who plan to learn on Grounds or live in the area must complete pre-testing before returning to Charlottesville and are required to abide by weekly prevalence testing guidelines.
Though the hospital has been able to accommodate the number of COVID-19 hospitalizations so far, U.Va. Health has had to redeploy staff to manage its patient population.

I've seen this game before: Providence gives Big East powerhouse a run for their money in the first half, struggles at the onset of the second half, comes back strong with six minutes left... Maybe even pulls ahead... And then loses. Oh, Providence.
The Syracuse fans reminded me of Yankees fans. PC fans are totally Chipster, though. I had a great time, but part of me was hoping for a surprise upset. That's me and Billy in the picture, at a different game with a happier ending.
Please enjoy the McGair story about the game, Cooley, Boeheim, and YOU GOTTA HIT THOSE FREE THROWS, FRESHIE!!!!
My hair is outrageous but I love the pic none the less. GO PC!


I like Erica. Maybe because her name ryhmes with my first name Monicah. Or because she is an equally imperfect human as I am and she shows that really well in the series Being Erica.
Erica (real name Erin Karpluk) is the main cast in the series Being Erica (2009 – 2011).
It's the kind of series that you live through with the character; try comfort them when they need it, cry with them, pat their back when they do good, celebrate their victories, party with them, cook with them, fall in love along with them, help them curse a character, go to sleep when they do too, the list is as you can imagine, huge. More like you live in their world as their best friend/ guardian angel and forget your real world. That was me and Erica for a while. I still think of her even though the series came to a halt on Season 4, a happy ending kind of halt.
So what's the fuss about Erica you ask. Well, here goes.
It starts with Erica having the possibly worst day of her life. On this day, she gets fired from her very boring job. She is supposed to have a date with a possible suitor and she is consoled by the thought of him making her day better or even better; being her "The One". Shock on her as she calls him later in the evening, only for him to apologise after giving her petty excuses. As much as she is disappointed, she is already used to such as she is 32 and has been in the dating scene for long. As if nature is not aware, it rains cats and dogs while she stands on the highway thinking of what next.
She rushes to the nearest coffee shop and orders a coffee which contains something she is allergic to. Next time she opens her eyes, she is at the hospital. All this in one day. There's so much one can take!
That's like the first 5 minutes into the series and I couldn't help but wonder what became of her so, I kept watching.
While on the bed, a stranger shows up, Dr. Tom (real name Michael Riley), you will love him trust me, and tells her he knows about her life and would help her if she is willing to trust and listen to him and be open of course, at no charge.
First sessions involve Erica writing down all her regrets. The next sessions usually are a one on one where Dr. Tom chooses a specific regret, asks Erica to describe it and say what she would do differently, then Erica has the priviledge of going back in time experiencing it all over again. With her current knowledge. Who wouldn't want that?! Her biggest regret usually is her brother's death which she painfully learns she can do nothing to change it. Death is death.
The series is a mixture of all emotions and you will especially laugh when she goes back in time and falls over or drops dishes or hits something,..
Watch as Erica's personality, beliefs and choices are put to the test and her becoming a self aware, confident and above all a complete woman.
A fan of Being Erica.
Well put. You should be incorporated in the series and allowed to bring all your wonderful experiences.
A very personal blog about my journey, my feelings which vary quite often. Not your ordinary advisory blog on life solutions, but more of an early 20's adult finding her path to life fulfillment. Celebrating sometimes, confused other times but not embarassed or regretful of whatever life offers. I mean, there's no perfect formula to life right? Its gonna be quite the ride. And i am excited to meet my future self. I know she will be smiling and hugging and patting the current self's back and telling her, babe, you did it, it was never worth the worry.
