DAPs Magic Disney News – PRESS RELEASE
CELEBRATION, Fla. – This holiday season, give a gift that's both nautical and nice: a cruise on the Disney Magic, Disney Wonder or Disney Dream, all decked to the "raft-ers" with holiday cheer.
From Thanksgiving through the new year, Disney Cruise Line adds sparkle to each ship, with traditional "turkey day" fanfare, Christmas feasts, "snow flurries" and New Year's Eve galas. But the best part might just be relaxing on deck instead of shoveling snow.
The spirit of the season surrounds guests the moment they arrive at the Disney Cruise Line terminals in Port Canaveral, Fla. or Los Angeles, Calif., with festive, seasonal decorations and Disney characters in their finest holiday attire welcoming guests.
Special stem-to-stern holiday events begin during each of the Thanksgiving cruises and include:
Nightly "King Triton's Tree Lighting" in the atrium lobby, where a young guest helps Disney characters light the glittering, three-deck-tall tree.
Family holiday crafts such as decorating stockings, building gingerbread houses, making holiday cards and creating holiday animation cells.
Holiday storytellers sharing tales of Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. Plus, a story just for Disney Cruise Line guests about the magical feeling of the holidays on a ship.
Traditional holiday feasts in the Disney Cruise Line themed dining rooms.
"'Til We Meet Again" on the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder, and "See Ya Real Soon" on the Disney Dream feature a special holiday edition of Disney Cruise Line's cheerful farewell on the final night of each cruise with beloved Disney characters and the ship's crew in an engaging musical finale led by Mickey Mouse.
When the Disney Magic and Disney Dream stop at Disney's private island in the Bahamas Castaway Cay, during the holidays, the celebration continues with "snow flurries," decked-out Christmas trees, Disney character meet-and-greets, holiday carolers, and holiday-themed activities and crafts for children.
Disney Cruise Line kicks off the holiday cheer with special Thanksgiving voyages setting sail Nov. 19 with a seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Disney Magic, Nov. 20 with a seven-night Mexican Riviera cruise on the Disney Wonder, Nov. 20 with a three-night Bahamian cruise on the Disney Dream and Nov. 23 with a four-night Bahamian cruise on the Disney Dream. Guests will enjoy a bountiful Thanksgiving Day feast, with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and friends dressed in traditional Thanksgiving attire.
Activities throughout the day include holiday crafts for youngsters and the big NFL football games broadcast live on the ships' outdoor, jumbo LED screens – Ariel Vision located near the Goofy's family pool on deck 9 of the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder, and Funnel Vision near Donald's family pool on deck 11 of the Disney Dream.
The Disney Magic sails a six-night Caribbean Christmas cruise departing Dec. 24, with visits to Cozumel, Key West and Castaway Cay. The Disney Wonder offers an eight-night Holiday cruise departing Dec. 18, with a Mexican Riviera itinerary calling at Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas. The Disney Dream sails a four-night Holiday cruise on Dec. 22 to Castaway Cay and Nassau, Bahamas.
On Christmas morning at the atrium lobby tree, Santa Claus and his elves will have surprises for all the kids, along with cookies and milk. Christmas services will be held on Christmas Day with a midnight mass on Christmas Eve. Hanukkah services will be held each day, Dec. 20-28.
To celebrate the new year, the Disney Magic departs on Dec. 30 for an eight-night Eastern Caribbean itinerary with stops at St. Maarten, Tortola, St. Thomas and Castaway Cay; the Disney Wonder departs Dec. 26 for a seven-night Mexican Riviera cruise calling on Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas. The Disney Dream sails a five-night Bahamian cruise that departs on Dec. 29 and features two stops at Castaway Cay and one day at Nassau. These voyages include a special New Year's Eve party to ring in 2012, complete with music, sparkling wine in commemorative flutes and a midnight countdown.
Christmas by the Numbers on the Disney Dream
Garland, wreaths, twinkling lights and glitter transform Disney Cruise Line ships into a winter wonderland during the holidays. On the Disney Dream alone more than 300 custom designed décor pieces adorn the ship for its very first holiday season, including:
1,016 feet of garland, which is more than three football fields and nearly enough to stretch the entire length of the ship
66 holiday sprays ranging from 15 inches to six feet
29 wreaths ranging from 24 inches to five feet in diameter
41 Christmas trees ranging from two feet to 20 feet
One 20-foot-tall tree takes center stage in the atrium lobby weighing more than one ton and featuring 300 branches and more than 20,000 white LED lights
Unique holiday décor is created for specific locations around the ship. Themes include bright colors in the kids' clubs, holographic foliage for the teen and tween spaces, and elegant accents for the adult areas. Customized ornaments include a paint brush and palette in Animator's Palate, Mr. Potato Head in Oceaneer Club and colorful tropical fish in Cabanas.

Helping the Australian World Dwarf Games Team to Reach Their Potential
Artius were proud to support the 2017 Australian World Dwarf Games squad during their recent training weekend on the Gold Coast.
The 7th World Dwarf Games will be held in Ontario, Canada in August 2017. Supported by the International Dwarf Athletic Federation, the event which occurs every four years, is the largest sporting event exclusively for athletes with dwarfism.
Ms Kobie Donovan, a member of the squad said: "The games are rare and unique opportunity for short statured athletes to come together and compete on a level playing field at an elite level; the Gold Coast camp provided an opportunity for athletes from different cities across Australia to come together and train in preparation for the games".
The Australian squad met on the Gold Coast on the 20th and 21st February for a training camp at the Runaway Bay Sports Super Centre. Artius, who specialise in helping people to reach their potential, was proud to donate the use of one of their buses to transport the athletes from the airport to the training venues during the camp.'
"It was great to see so many athletes on the Gold Coast giving it their all in their chosen sports! We'd like to express our thanks to all of the organisations and individuals who made the weekend a success." said Ms Donovan.
Paul Stokes, Artius Managing Director said: "It is an honour to support these athletes to achieve their goals. Their commitment is inspiring and embodies our mission of helping people reach their potential."
The athletes representing Australia in a combination of swimming, athletic and team sports events, will travel to Canada July 2017.

Posted December 5, 2010 by Howard Gethin.
Prison is somewhere that I'd managed to scrupulously avoid so far in life until 1992, and have done since. And long may it stay that way. But my first and last acquaintance with such an institution did provide its fair share of interesting moments.
In 1992, I did a four-month overland trip, starting in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, and ending up in Kathmandu, Nepal, via Kashgar in China's Xinjiang Province, Western Tibet, Lhasa, and the southern road out to Nepal, which my buddy and I did by bike in around 30 days.
By the time we got to Kathmandu, I had a pretty serious infection requiring several visits to a clinic, and the advice from the doc was to avoid any more significant travelling, get lots of rest and eat well. That sounded fine to me after 30 days of living off Chinese army biscuits, the odd bowl of soup and stir-fry noodles, and camping out under passes in sub-zero conditions.
Kathmandu has its charms, despite sometimes having some resemblance to medieval London on crystal meth. And as it was our first time there, my mate and I enjoyed looking around, but eventually I started to get a bit bored. So, when we saw a notice in a Freak Street café one morning, asking for visitors to come and see an American, an Aussie, a Brit and a Frenchman, in Kathmandu's main slammer, I resolved to go.
It wasn't more than half an hour walk from my Durbar Square hotel, and there was (in those days) nothing in the way of prior formality required. It took me a while to find the right place, but eventually some Nepalis pointed me to a courtyard on the edge of the prison. I simply rolled up one morning, and asked to see Rhett, the American whose name was on the poster. I didn't' even know his surname.
The Nepali guard, armed with an ancient Lee Enfield SMLE rifle and sword bayonet, gave my rucksack a cursory search, and I was in. I strolled across the courtyard and asked the supervisor if I could see Rhett. A few shouts upstairs, and a few minutes later a young American bounded up to me, beaming. We sat down in the courtyard, among loads of Nepalis, mainly men getting visits from wives.
I liked Rhett immediately. He was intelligent, witty, and fun to talk to. He was intrigued by the trip we'd just done from Tibet, and was keen to find out what I thought about it as a possible place to do a runner to if he busted out of jail (forget it, I said).
Nepal taxed imported gold, in an effort to control currency devaluation in a country where gold retained big cachet and was in huge demand for traditional dowries.
Rhett and his three pals had flown into Kathmandu from Hong Kong, where Nepali mobsters had fitted them out with close-fitting waistcoats loaded with little ingots. He was not keen to disclose if he'd done it before (I later found out that he had).
The deal was supposed to be that the mob had paid off the customs officers, and the guys should have sailed through customs and immigration easily, to pick up a few grand in cash from the mob. But the bent customs man hadn't show up, and they'd been busted.
They had copped a massive fine, several times the couple of million bucks that the gold was worth. Unable to pay that sum, they were facing a four year stretch in Bhadra Ghol (if I remember the name of the establishment correctly). So far, they had done just a few months, and were not enjoying the prospect of the remaining stretch at His Majesty's pleasure.
Rhett was a well-read chap, and with plenty of time on his hands, he was getting through a lot of books. He asked me to find him a few on his list. I spent a few afternoons trawling the bookshops of Thamel, Kathmandu's tourist district, and visited Rhett a few more times. On one occasion, I met his co-conspirators, the French Corsican, Eric, the Brit, Piers, and the Aussie, whose name I forget. I also met Piers' uncle Tony, who had some kind of spook background, and was trying hard to work out what had led up to their arrest, and was also trying pretty hard to get them out of jail by the front door. I had a chat to Piers and Tony on one visit, over milky Nepali chai, and Ryvita crackers with Marmite.
Piers looked like he was having a rough time in the prison, and didn't seem to be keeping his chin up too well. He did OK out of it eventually though, becoming a journalist on the back of his prison stories, and eventually making editor of Front magazine, which was the next time I saw his face. And they say crime doesn't pay!
Visiting, as I've said, was a surprisingly relaxed business. I could rock up at any time in visiting hours, and the security seemed pretty negligible. Then, on my fourth visit to Rhett, that changed. I was more thoroughly searched going in, and the guard had been beefed up. There were less people in the courtyard, and the staff were very noticeably more attentive, indeed twitchy.
Rhett explained why. Just a couple of days before, a Nigerian drug mule prisoner had been in the courtyard for a visit, and had suddenly just got up, sprinted for the gate, leaped past the sentry and legged it down the road. By the time the guard had cocked his ancient but lethal rifle, the prisoner was out of sight. He had not been recaptured. The prison staff were left red-faced, and were not happy with the result.
Rhett said he had also considered doing a bust-out, but was counting on a negotiated exit coming off. And that's indeed what happened a few months later. It turned out that their arrest was part of a double-cross by senior political and law-enforcement people in Nepal. They'd decided that taking pay-offs from the mob was not good enough – better still to just grab the gold instead. Eventually, the whole thing was uncovered and some pretty heavy people were unmasked. The four guys were released.
I imagine they were pretty relieved. Rhett was surprisingly upbeat on the prison. Whilst keen to get out of it, he said the conditions were not that bad, for those like him with a bit of cash to spend on extra food, someone to cook it, some renovation for the cells and various other odds and ends. He appreciated the visits, but said he'd "prefer to see some chicks – nothing personal against you, man." I could see where he was coming from, and did indeed ask some passing nubilia on the streets of Kathmandu to go and see him. I don't know if they ever did.
Finally, my three weeks in Kathmandu was up, and I flew home. I never saw Rhett again.
Now resident in Moscow, Howard works as an editor and still makes occasional forays into places where men carry guns and mountains are nearby.

:Pandemic Flu: Potential for U.S. Economic Recession (Part II):
Pandemic Flu: Potential for U.S. Economic Recession (Part II)
The debate continues about the likelihood of an outbreak of bird flu, otherwise known as Pandemic Flu, or simply, H5N1 variant (variant because of the belief that the H5N1 strain will need to morph at least once more before the jump to humans becomes a serious issue).
There were two important related developments this past week.
US Establishes New Protocols For Interagency Fight Against Pandemic. Basically, this discusses the need for the resources of both DHS and DoD to be pooled and mobilized to fight an outbreak of Bird Flu. Included in the resource pooling would also be Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of State, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and others. President Bush's 2005 National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza is provide here for reference.
What becomes very interesting is that in the latest Defense spending bill, a mere $13.2 million to address avian flu research and monitoring was provided. But the bill was passed without $650 million in pandemic preparedness spending that had been included in an earlier version of the bill. The earlier bill was vetoed by President Bush because it set a timetable for starting a US withdrawal from Iraq.
The exclusion of the pandemic money doesn't mean Congress won't appropriate anything for that purpose this year, but it does suggest that a considerable delay is likely, said Richard Hamburg, government relations director for Trust for America's Health, a public health advocacy group based in Washington, DC.
"This is going to delay completion of the initial commitment by the president to supply at least $7.1 billion in funding," he said, referring to Bush's request for pandemic preparedness funds in November 2005. "And we're certainly concerned about the fate of those dollars and whether they'll go into another vehicle."
The deleted $650 million included $625 million for vaccines, antivirals, other medical supplies, and diagnostic and surveillance tools, according to a text of the earlier bill that was vetoed (HR 1591). The sum also included $25 million to compensate individuals for any injuries caused by H5N1 influenza vaccines.
Back in April, I posted Pandemic Flu: Potential for U.S. Economic Recession in which the potentially strong negative effects an outbreak of Pandemic Flu would have on the U.S. economy.
In response to this post, a comment was left this week by Robert E. Armstrong, Ph.D. & Mark D. Drapeau, Ph.D. of the Center for Technology and National Security Policy, National Defense University in Washington, DC. With their permission, it is reproduced here.
While the medical response to pandemic flu will be important to controlling its spread and limiting its toll, there are considerable non-medical issues related to flu preparedness that are essential for ensuring the continued well-being of the nation's economy. Planning for Continuity of Operations (COOP) and Continuity of Government (COG) is critical to maintaining the overall viability of society. Thus, while we rightly prepare for the flu, we must be equally prepared to function during the flu. The Center for Technology and National Security Policy of the DOD's National Defense University has prepared a number of freely-available items which can help civilians be prepared both before and during the flu. "Bird Flu and You" is a poster available in 9 languages with basic information about influenza preparedness. "Weathering the Storm" is a report with information about planning for COOP, including instructions for carrying out "tabletop exercises" with a COOP plan.
In reviewing the report, a number of issues are raised. Clearly, the debate continues about whether H5N1 will actually make the jump to humans, especially since Bird Flu was first discovered in 1961 and human cases didn't occur until 1997. Of course, we already know that mutations of H5N1 are occurring and that the one or two additional mutations needed to "go human" would not be surprising. Clearly, what is different today than in 1918 when the last pandemic occurred is globalization in general, and as just demonstrated by the traveling TB patient, air travel is such that a virus can be spread from one part of the globe to another, almost in an instant. So the report itself is presented as a guide to keeping your organization operating through a pandemic. It presents ways to ensure a healthier workspace including sanitizing and decontamination procedures, restricted movement, limiting group meetings (e.g., telecommuting and video teleconferencing), and establishing work groups to keep the work of your company flowing. Further, it talks about continuity planning, and specifically, how your company or organization will continue to operate, especially as employees fall sick (or have a family member fall sick).
I bring this up because planning and preparedness continues to be a general issue when it comes to disaster planning (disasters meaning to include terrorist attacks with chemical, biological or radiological weapons). There are so many exigencies that it is impractical or unrealistic to expect that "tabletops" or wargames can provide the road map to appropriate responses. Just yesterday the local emergency preparedness people here (where I live) made public pronouncements that they were ready in the case of another Gulf Coast evacuation like the one during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Anyone who drives the local interstates and experiences the long delays created by road construction has to come to a different and less rosy conclusion. Another point made by the National Defense University report was that a medical response to an outbreak of Pandemic Flu (a variant of the H5N1) will be late since the morphing of the virus itself makes it difficult to develop a vaccine for an unknown. Yesterday, the FDA Finalized Guidances for Pandemic and Seasonal Influenza Vaccines.

People's bowel habits can be vastly different from others. However, if you experience dramatic changes in your normal bowel habits you need to investigate the causes for those changes. Changes are often caused by simple problems (such as diarrhoea being caused by a tummy bug). However, bowel changes may be an indication that something more serious is happening. Sometimes changes in bowel habits can be the only clue to bowel cancer and therefore it is essential to investigate further.
If your bowel habit alternates between constipation and diarrhoea it is possible that you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
However there are other potential causes, with significant negative health outcomes, that do need to be excluded. If you have had a change in bowel habits then medical advice is recommended.
What if my Stool changes Colour?
What if my Stool changes consistency?
What if I have ongoing Diarrhoea?
Diarrhoea is often caused by a tummy bug and will stop after a few days. If it persists however, an underlying problem may be at the root. If your diarrhoea has come on suddenly and lasts more than a week, further investigation is essential.
What if I have ongoing Constipation?
Again, many people commonly suffer from constipation. However a change in bowel habits, including constipation may point to another problem.
What if I have changes in how often I need to go?
More or less bowel movements.
Inability to control bowel movement.

England's Sea-Kit leads rivals in race to map Earth's seabed
The Maxlimer on its return from the Atlantic.
Photographer: Rich Edwards, Enp Media
From Bloomberg by Amy Thomson
A comprehensive atlas would help find minerals needed for electric cars and mobile phones.
On July 24 a 40-foot-long boat called Maxlimer set out from the port of Plymouth on the southern coast of England, steering southwest out of the English Channel into the open ocean.
The unmanned vessel, guided by pilots at a computer onshore, carries sonar that sends out an average of 10,000 sound pulses per hour to chart the topography of the ocean floor.
The goal of the boat's three-week journey was to put together for the first time a detailed map of about 600 square miles of Europe's continental shelf, the place where the ocean floor plunges from a few hundred feet beneath the surface to several thousand.
As the Maxlimer's sonar pings bounced off the seabed, scientists around the world took turns listening for alarms indicating gales, approaching ships, or problems with the vessel's sensors.
The Maxlimer, whose bullet-shaped hull looks like a submarine that's just surfaced, had never spent this long a time in such a harsh environment, and researchers fretted a storm might hobble it, says Neil Tinmouth, 37, chief operating officer of Sea-Kit International Ltd., the company that builds the £1.3 million ($1.7 million) boats.
"We wanted to push the limits," he says, "to do operations in open oceans where you don't know what you're going to encounter."
Sea-Kit is at the forefront of accelerating efforts to map the ocean floor, a terrain that's less understood than the surfaces of the moon or Mars.
Only 20% of the seabed has been mapped, and an atlas would boost efforts to find everything from minerals used in electric cars and mobile phones to new species.
The Seabed 2030 project worked with Sea-Kit on the voyage, getting data for its mission to map the ocean floor in the next decade and ultimately make the data freely available.
The initiative comes as the United Nations' International Seabed Authority drafts a framework to allow deep-ocean mining, which may come into effect next year.
The Remote Operations Centre at Sea-Kit's base in Tollesbury, England.
The Sea-Kit team is remotely controlling and monitoring the Maxlimer at sea.
The ISA is grappling with how to fairly distribute wealth from international waters and protect the poorly understood ecosystems of the deep ocean.
"The law of the sea was written on the idea that if you use something that belongs to everybody, it's equally shared," says Marzia Rovere, a marine geologist at the Institute of Marine Sciences in Bologna, Italy, who's been working on the UN framework.
"How to do this—it's still a matter of debate."
For centuries, sailors have sought to measure the ocean's depth as a way to gauge the approaching shore and gain a better understanding of the topography.
Until the early 20th century, the technology was simple: a weight and a long rope.
The Challenger expedition in the 1870s used such sounding lines for a four-year trip that sought to map the seabed and catalog creatures in various parts of the ocean; it discovered the Mariana Trench, home to what's now called the Challenger Deep, at more than 35,000 feet the deepest known part of the ocean.
After the Titanic sank in 1912, explorers proposed using sound waves to find its hull in the North Atlantic, accelerating the development of sonar, the most common technique used today.
Using the Sea-Kit Maxlimer, GEBCO-NF, a 14-nation team let by Rochelle Wigley and Yulia Zarayskaya, last year won the Ocean Discovery XPrize, netting $4 million in the competition aimed at nurturing technologies for mapping the seabed.
Other groups submitted ideas such as deploying multiple robots to map an area quickly, dropping retrievable pods from drones, and using lasers to determine the shape of the terrain.
The XPrize judges said a key differentiator for Sea-Kit was the way it tapped cloud technology to process data and create a detailed map in a tight, 48-hour window.
Corporations are also starting to study the ocean's depths.
Ocean Infinity, based in Austin, does surveys for the oil industry with robots that can map terrain 20,000 feet below the surface.
International Business Machines Corp. is working with marine researcher Promare to build the Mayflower Autonomous Ship, which next year will attempt an Atlantic crossing guided by artificial intelligence.
Fugro NV, a Dutch company that also serves energy producers, has been developing similar mapping technologies—and this year it bought two of Sea-Kit's boats and invested in the company.
Teledyne Caris and researchers this summer analyzed the 1.5 billion data points the Maxlimer gathered.
Schools of fish, temperature changes, and the drop-off of an underwater canyon can muddy the information coming back from the sonar; until recently, sorting through those anomalies to build an accurate map took an hour of computer time for every hour spent collecting data.
AI has cut that to less than 10 minutes.
Those are the kinds of advances needed to reach the goal of mapping the entire ocean, says Jyotika Virmani, who was executive director of the XPrize.
With that information in hand—and available to the public, as envisioned by Seabed 2030—scientists will better understand, say, where a tsunami might hit, how much sea levels might rise because of climate change, and potential shifts in ocean currents as temperatures climb.
"It works to everyone's advantage to get this information out," says Virmani, who now runs the Schmidt Ocean Institute, established by former Google head Eric Schmidt.
"Once we know what's there in its entirety, we can really truly start to figure out what's what on this planet."

Clarice: Although selecting favorites isn't easy, I choose Leif Enger and Cynthia Ruchti. Leif's novel, Peace Like a River is rich and full, and kept me emotionally engaged in the story for months after I finished it. Since I write contemporary women's fiction, I admire Cynthia's skill in that genre, especially her ability to create believable characters who overcome in real-life situations.
Clarice: I'd love to spend more time with Seymour Kaufman, one of the characters in my novel, Manhattan Grace, because of his big faith and unique way of overcoming life's hardships and disappointments. We'd spend the day walking around Lincoln Center in New York City, while I listened to his stories and learned from his experiences.
He sounds like an interesting and wise character. Thanks so much for dropping by!
Giveaway: Clarice is pleased to give away a copy of either of her books: Double Header, Party of One, or Manhattan Grace.
When a door opens for Gracie Camden to leave Cape Cod and move to Manhattan as a nanny for a Juilliard drama instructor, she fully expects God to use her acting talent and launch her to stardom. It's been six months. What's taking him so long?
Seymour Kaufman relocates to New York City from Iowa due to a shortage of mohels (circumcisers) in the tri-state Messianic congregations. Secretly, he hopes to explore a deeper relationship with Metropolitan Opera star and fellow Moldovan, Polina Zelenka. But he is conflicted when he meets her less complicated, widowed cousin, Simka.
While Seymour celebrates every closed door by believing God will open a better one, Gracie whines and wonders why God doesn't bless her plans. Gracie finally learns it's not about making it big in the Big Apple, it's about living God's perfect plan for your life.
As a little girl, she helped her mother clean by soaking all the family's toothbrushes in Lestoil.
She loves time alone with her grandchildren, so they can play make-believe without their parents spoiling it.
She and her husband don't keep score in Scrabble. They're just happy they can spell.
If she ever invites you on a road trip, say no. She once got lost in a beach parking lot.
Very nice to meet you, Clarice! I read your description for Manhattan Grace and it sounds like a great book. Life doesn't always meet our expectations. Good thing God has better plans for us. You are in my To Read list for sure!
Thanks, Kristy. Hope you enjoy MG!
Thanks for commenting, Linda! I feel honored when another writer likes my books. I can say the same about yours!
I enjoyed this interview! I think, because of the way Clarice described Seymour Kaufman, with 'his big faith and unique way of overcoming life's hardships and disappointments", that I would also like to spend the day walking around Lincoln Center in NYC and listen to his stories, & learn from his experiences. Sounds like a good book!
Thanks, Becky. Seymour's character was originaly based on a mohel (circumciser) in the poor hill country of Israel. A misisonary friend told me about this mohel with only one eye … and I was off and running!
Peace Like a River is also one of my favorites! So glad you mentioned it because I don't see a lot about it, and I think it is a beautiful story.
Hi Dee Dee. We read it in our book club. It was my favorite book of the year! Thanks for writing!
I like fun. Glad you enjoyed it, Anne.
I thoroughly enjoyed every one of your books, Clarice! Looking forward to the next one.
I enjoyed this too, Clarice, and think Peace Like a River will be recognized as a classic. Now looking forward to Manhattan Grace! I sat across from a member of the Juilliard Quartet on a plane one time, when planes occasionally had quad seating–and his cello, for which he'd bought a ticket.
When you write the book about fad diets and the Bible, let me know. I'd love to find out what the Bible has to say about it.

TAKING ONE FOR THE TEAM
Submitted by Anthony Musiala on Mon, 02/12/2018 - 10:33PM
Today is a "snow day". The university is closed today due to the 7-plus inches of snow that has been dumping itself on our campuses since last night. For many students, administrators and faculty, this is a day off from work or studies, which means they will likely use some form of broadcast media to keep them informed and entertained. For many of those who work in the broadcast field, this can be a long day of work.
Television reaches over 75 percent of the United States' population daily, while radio reaches 54 percent of the country's population on a daily basis. When there is a snowstorm, TV and radio stations are fulfilling their obligation to the public by broadcasting information such as school closings, snowfall totals, road conditions, and any other information or entertainment that they think will capture an audience. There are 82 radio stations within listening range of the university's Joliet, Illinois campuses, and over 10 television stations within viewing range that carry local news; all of these commercial stations (and some non-commercial stations) are staffed with people working during this "snow day". For the broadcasting outlets' talented staff of on-air talent, producers, engineers, managers, administrators and even student interns, this is a time when they understand that their audience is relying on the them to deliver information and entertainment.
The Chicago market's number 1 rated (in household ratings from 5am-10am) television news program, WGN Morning News, had their full "A List" staff on this morning to cover the snowstorm. This included one reporter driving in a car on the expressways to report road conditions, and another reporter standing outside in the snowstorm in front of a suburban train station. The in-studio staff consisted of the popular news team, plus two additional weather reporters, and two entertainment reporters. One of their entertainment reporters had a live segment where he was in station's parking lot with an intern dressed as a snowman. The intern was a college student from San Francisco who revealed that she had never thrown a snowball in her life. The reporter then held up two cut out masks of the program's anchors, and had the snowman attired intern throw snowballs at each of their printed out faces. He then instructed the intern to throw a snowball at his face. He ducked of course, but then shot the intern with a Nerf arrow from a toy bow! View iit here: http://bit.ly/2Br5Vsv
For those interested in working in the broadcast field, be prepared to work long hours when many other people may be at home enjoying their "snow day". If you're interning at a station, be prepared to not only work the long hours that may come with a snowstorm, but you may also have to throw some snowballs and take an arrow for your audience.

Q: Can statistical significance be obtained in an underpowered study? Excuse my ignorance. I tried to look up the questions but couldn't find it. I had a discussion today whether it is possible that a study result will have a p<0.05 yet that would be caused by chance (i.e. a possible underpowered study - if I got all the terms correctly). My thoughts were that if there is a statistically significant difference (proven by p=0.03) then the study is automatically powered enough to detect that difference.
Thank you!

A: The power of a test depends on the sample size and the alternative hypothesis under consideration.  It is not affected by whether or not the null hypothesis is rejected.  If a study is highly powered the chance of rejecting the null hypothesis when the alternative is true is greater than for a study with lower power but the null hypothesis can be rejected by chance when it in fact holds and it also can be rejected when the alternative is true and the study is not highly powered.

Maritime authorities throughout the Mediterranean have become more stringent with PW use. There have been a number of reported instances where PW's drivers using PW's belonging to the yacht, have been party to a random check and heavily fined when unable to provide an appropriate licence.
It is important that Captains / Officers are aware of local by laws and regulations, and clearly inform the Owners, guests and crew who are using the PW's.
The Royal Yachting Association (RYA) offers both the 1-day RYA Personal Watercraft Certificate at various RYA Training Centres, as well as the provision for Yachts to become RYA Training Centre, offering the PW Safety Certificates onboard to guests or crew after appropriate training.
This is an overview of the regulations in place for various Mediterranean countries. This information changes from time to time – so please ensure you check the latest information with the local authorities.

Edward Waring (Old Heath, Shropshire, 1734 - Pontesbury, Shropshire, 15 augustus 1798) was een Engels wiskundige.

Waring is de bedenker van het wiskundig probleem dat nu bekend staat als het Probleem van Waring, te boek gesteld in Meditationes Algebraicae. Hij formuleerde ook de naar zijn leerling Wilson genoemde Stelling van Wilson zonder deze te kunnen bewijzen. Hij voerde tevens het Lagrange-polynoom in.

Waring studeerde als sizar (student die vanwege omstandigheden minder collegegeld betaalt) aan het Magdalene College van de Universiteit van Cambridge. Hij werd in 1757 verkozen tot Fellow van Magdalena en in 1760 tot Lucasian hoogleraar wiskunde, wat hij bleef tot aan zijn overlijden.

Waring werd verkozen tot Fellow of the Royal Society in 1763 en in 1784 kreeg hij de Copley Medal.
