returning to nature - MARCH: NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH!
I get so excited about nutrition, because the saying that "you are what you eat" is definitely not just a cliché. It bears so much truth, and deserves this month to get that point across to as many people as possible. No matter what you are trying to do, whether it's lose weight, gain weight, fight disease, prevent disease, etc., what you put into your mouth will govern well over 50% of that outcome! Every facet of your health is affected by what you eat…your immune system, your mood, your energy levels, your skin health, etc. In fact, there's definitely a reason why you may tend to feel "sluggish" after eating a heavy, processed meal (often labeled as being "The Itis"). Our bodies have a difficult time breaking down this type of "food", and on top of that, there's usually little to no nutritional value gained from that meal.
I applaud those of you who have been making changes to alter your diets for the better! I understand that it's not easy to pull away from some of your staple meals or food items that may not be the healthiest for you. I also understand how difficult it can be to maintain such healthy changes while living in a society where body image tends to be over emphasized. This dramatization of the human physique makes it even more difficult to avoid the overwhelming amount of diet and weight loss programs out there promising the lightning speed shedding of your extra pounds. That's why I will continue to take a stand for educating and providing true information on good nutrition!
It can be tricky knowing were to begin your diet adjustments. What should be removed first? What should be incorporated? What do all of these lifestyles people are taking on mean (i.e. vegan, paleo, vegetarian, pescatarian, etc.)? In an effort to always support you on your wellness journey, I have a nutrition-related surprise event for you that I will be announcing next week in honor of National Nutrition Month! If you're on social media, stay tuned for Returning to Nature's Facebook and Instagram posts of nutrition tips, diet changes you can try, etc. Also, be sure to stay tuned to the website for more wellness blog posts!

New Fave Alert: Geek Artist Jeff Langevin
The winner of BBC America's 'Orphan Black' poster contest has a portfolio that goes way past Leda and Castor.
BBC America / Jeff Langevin

Say hello to your new favorite geek artist.
Entertainment Weekly announced today that the winner of BBC America's Orphan Black poster contest is artist Jeff Langevin, and Oregonian who has done work with video game publisher Square Enix.
The design, inspired by Kira's origami butterfly from Season 2, features references to the essential pieces that make up Orphan Black. Langevin told Entertainment Weekly, "What I hope the image conveys is that the clones are parts of a connected whole, and that these other elements — Castor, the Neolutionists, the sheep mask clone, Rachel's code, etc. — are all inexorably intertwined in their lives."
The contest-winning Orphan Black poster is far from Langevin's only stellar geek art creation, though. His website, Instagram and Etsy shop are full of pieces inspired by some of our favorite franchises, like Star Wars, Mass Effect, Harry Potter, Mad Max: Fury Road and Tomb Raider.
An artist and designer, Langevin's work includes projects for clients like Square Enix and comic book publisher Darby Pop Publishing. On his website, he describes his work as "emotional, figural paintings which explore the relationship between humans and nature, artistic interpretations and graphic works inspired by popular culture, and a wide variety of branding and logo design."
Some of Langevin's works have a beautiful painterly quality about them while others lean more towards vector illustration or highlight key elements and objects from books and films.
There are a lot of ways to express and entrench yourself in fandom, but they can't all look this damn good.

Enter the Wundrous world of Morrigan Crow and Nevermoor - the most fantastical children's release of the year.Morrigan Crow is cursed. Having been born on Eventide, the unluckiest day for any child to be born, she's blamed for all local misfortunes, from hailstorms to heart attacks - and, worst of all, the curse means that Morrigan is doomed to die at midnight on her eleventh birthday. But as Morrigan awaits her fate, a strange and remarkable man named Jupiter North appears.
Chased by black-smoke hounds and shadowy hunters on horseback, he whisks her away into the safety of a secret, magical city called Nevermoor. It's then that Morrigan discovers Jupiter has chosen her to contend for a place in the city's most prestigious organisation: the Wundrous Society.
In order to join, she must compete in four difficult and dangerous trials against hundreds of other children, each boasting an extraordinary talent that sets them apart - an extraordinary talent that Morrigan insists she does not have. To stay in the safety of Nevermoor for good, Morrigan will need to find a way to pass the tests - or she'll have to leave the city and confront her deadly fate once and for all.
I really like adventure stories and stories that are set in a different world to ours. Nevermoor had loads of adventure and was set in a world that was very different to ours! I loved it!
Mum started reading Nevermoor right before we were going to a book signing that Jessica Townsend was going to be at. She wasn't very far in to it when she told me that she thought I would love it. Luckily, Mum was reading Nevermoor on her Kindle so that left our hardback copy for me to read. I was hooked straight away and soon I was further past Mum, even though she started before me! I finished it on the train on our way to the signing yesterday and I had to keep everything a secret until Mum had finished. Mum kept on telling me her predictions about what was going to happen and I had to try to keep quiet, even though she was right about most of the things! She's finished now and loved it just as much as me!
I think Morrigan Crow was really nice even though people weren't always nice to her. And she was very brave. I loved all of her adventures and trials, especially the Chase Trial! Morrigan's friend Hawthorne was one of my favourite characters and I hope he's going to be in book two a lot.
There is so much adventure in this book, I just wanted to keep reading and reading to find out what would happen next.
I only finished Nevermoor yesterday but I'm going to start Wundersmith really soon. I can't wait to see what else happens to Morrigan now.
Here are some photos of me reading Nevermoor on the train yesterday and me and Casper meeting Jessica Townsend at Waterstones in Durham…


CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Space shuttle Atlantis and a crew of seven thundered away Monday on one last flight to the Hubble Space Telescope, setting off on an extraordinarily ambitious repair mission that NASA hopes will lift the celebrated observatory to new scientific heights.
"Let's launch Atlantis," commander Scott Altman said just before liftoff.
"Enjoy the ride, pal," replied launch director Mike Leinbach.
This is NASA's fifth and final trip to Hubble, launched 19 years ago. The stakes, as well as the dangers, are higher since astronauts last visited in 2002. Space has become more littered with junk at Hubble's altitude because of satellite collisions and breakups, and NASA now knows all too well how much damage can be done at liftoff by a piece of fuel-tank foam. Columbia was brought down by the damage.
Two spacewalking teams will replace the 19-year-old Hubble's batteries and gyroscopes, install two new cameras and take a crack at fixing two broken science instruments, something never before attempted. Those instruments, loaded with bolts and fasteners, were not designed to be tinkered with in space.
"We'll give it our best," Altman said.
All told, it's a $1 billion mission. The space telescope, over the decades, represents a $10 billion investment. It was launched amid considerable hoopla in 1990, but quickly found to be nearsighted, producing blurred images, because of a flawed mirror.
Corrective lenses were installed in 1993 during what NASA's science mission chief, Ed Weiler, calls "the miracle in space mission." The results were stunning and included the acclaimed "pillars of creation" image of Eagle Nebula, a star-forming region 6,500 light years away.
Atlantis will be flying in an unusually high orbit for a space shuttle. Space is more strewn with satellite and rocket parts there, and the odds of a catastrophic strike are greater. In addition, there's always the chance the shuttle could be damaged during liftoff by a piece of fuel-tank insulating foam or other debris, which doomed Columbia in 2003.
The mission was reinstated two years later by the space agency's new boss, but only after shuttle flights had resumed and repair techniques had been developed. As an added precaution, another shuttle was ordered to be on standby, in case Atlantis suffered irreparable damage.
This is the last time a shuttle flies somewhere other than the space station, and NASA doesn't expect to have shuttles on both pads again.


Completely banging psytrance. High level production with the resonant, harmonic rich, layered sound we have come to expect in recent years from labels such as Sangoma and Purple Hexagon. This is absolutely peak time material, unapologetically intense dancefloor destroying full on.


These are some of the Ranma ½ and Inu Yasha editions in different languages that exists. The list only includes tankôban (pocket book) editions and is not in any way complete. It lacks the Japanese editions, for instance, and I'm pretty sure there must be an Italian edition of Ranma ½. I gladly accept any information or cover pictures that you may be able to contribute. Just mail me if you want to.
Danish edition published by Egmont Serieførlaget A/S. First issue in the Autumn of 2003.
The artwork is mirrored. Technically this edition is identical with the German one, except for the language.
English (American) editions published by VIZ Comics. First edition (left) has larger format and better paper than the second edition (right). Volumes in first edition format are only available up to volume 21. Volume 22 upwards only exists in the smaller, cheaper format.
Translated from Japanese. The artwork is mirrored. The volumes does not correspond with other language editions, due to the first volume being thicker than normal.
The first American publication was in the for the US normal comic book magazine format with two chapters in each issue.
Johan's subjective comments: A very slick edition, but at that price it should be! (The second, lower priced version have lower paper quality.) The artwork is mirrored, which is a negative thing, but in those days they started publishing it, that was the standard thing to do.
French edition published by Glénat, France. All 38 volumes have been published.
First volumes translated from the American edition, later volumes translated from Japanese. The artwork is mirrored. Big similarities with the German edition, which in big parts used the French one as template.
German edition published by Egmont Manga & Anime, Germany. All 38 volumes have been published. There have also been an earlier edition with a different cover published by Feest Comics (volume 3 at right).
First volumes translated from the American edition, later volumes translated from the French one. The artwork is mirrored. Technically the Danish edition is the same as this one, except for the language.
Johan's subjective note: This is the version I've read from beginning to end and I like it. It got cheaper paper quality than the first American version, but it's also a lot cheaper to buy. My main – and only – objection is the translation-from-a-translation version. A direct translation had been preferred.
Norwegian edition published by Egmont Serieförlaget AS, Norway. First issue in the Autumn of 2003.
The artwork is mirrored. Technically this edition is identical with the Swedish one except for the language.
Spanish edition published by Glénat.
Swedish edition published by Egmont Serieförlaget AB, Sweden. First volume published in Autumn of 2003. Will be complete sometime around December 2006 or January 2007 if published monthly.
First volumes probably translated from the German edition, later volumes translated from Japanese. The artwork is mirrored. Technically this edition is identical with the Norwegian one, except for the language.
Johan's subjective note: I personally don't like this edition's translation. I don't know Japanese nearly well enough to judge if its true to the original or not, but no matter what, I have objections over the Swedish that's used. It's too unbalanced.
Inu Yasha – alternative spelling Inuyasha or Inu-Yasha – isn't published in a lot of languages yet. These three are the ones I know of. Oh, and the original Japanese of course.
English (American) edition published by VIZ Comics. The first edition only goes to volume 12, from 13 upwards the smaller format edition is the only one available.
Translated from Japanese. The artwork is mirrored.
French edition published by Kana, France.
Translated from Japanese. The artwork is non-mirrored (i.e. Japanese reading style).
German edition published by Egmont Manga & Anime, Germany. A second German edition have small changes in the cover designs.

EMA starts rolling review of Janssen's COVID-19 vaccine Ad26.COV2.S
EMA's human medicines committee (CHMP) has started a rolling review of Ad26.COV2.S, a COVID-19 vaccine from Janssen-Cilag International N.V.
The CHMP's decision to start the rolling review is based on preliminary results from laboratory studies and early clinical studies in adults. These studies suggest that the vaccine triggers the production of antibodies and immune cells that target the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.
The company is currently conducting trials in people to assess safety and immunogenicity (how well the vaccine triggers a response against the virus), and effectiveness. EMA will evaluate data from these and other clinical trials as they become available.
The rolling review will continue until enough evidence is available for a formal marketing authorisation application.
EMA will assess the vaccine's compliance with the usual standards for effectiveness, safety and quality. While EMA cannot predict the overall timelines, it should take less time than normal to evaluate an eventual application because of the work done during the rolling review.
How is the vaccine expected to work?
Like other vaccines, Ad26.COV2.S is expected to prepare the body to defend itself against infection. The vaccine contains genetic instructions for a protein known as spike (S) protein which is present on the surface of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. When a person is given the vaccine, their cells will read the genetic instructions and produce the spike protein. The person's immune system will then treat this protein as foreign and produce natural defences — antibodies and T cells — against it. If later on, the vaccinated person comes into contact with SARS-CoV-2, the immune system will recognise the virus and be prepared to attack it. The antibodies and immune cells can work together to kill the virus, prevent its entry into the body's cells and destroy cells that are infected, thus helping to protect against COVID-19.
What is a rolling review?
A rolling review is a regulatory tool that EMA uses to speed up the assessment of a promising medicine during a public health emergency. Normally, all data on a medicine or vaccine's effectiveness, safety and quality and all required documents must be ready at the start of the evaluation in a formal application for marketing authorisation. In the case of a rolling review, EMA's human medicines committee (CHMP) reviews data as they become available from ongoing studies. Once the CHMP decides that sufficient data are available, the company should then submit a formal application. By reviewing the data as they become available, the CHMP can come to an opinion on the medicine's authorisation sooner.
During the rolling review, and throughout the pandemic, EMA and its scientific committees are supported by the COVID-19 EMA pandemic task force (COVID-ETF). This group brings together experts from across the European medicines regulatory network to advise on the development, authorisation and safety monitoring of medicines and vaccines for COVID-19 and facilitate quick and coordinated regulatory action.

Common Threads: New Media Gallery Reception & Exhibition
Common Thread | Works by Sharla Fell
The New Media Gallery at Ventura College will host a solo exhibition by faculty member Sharla Fell from January 23–February 20, 2020. Fell is a process-oriented artist whose work celebrates and explores the forms and colors found in the natural world. A process that starts with freehand drawings, pastels, paintings, and fabric collages morphs into a digitally assembled, manipulated, and combined work that is then printed onto fabric with additional layers of collage and surface embellishment. This approach engages the viewer with a sense of familiar intimacy with the interwoven relationship of the natural world through her use of fabric and collage.

It seems odd to describe the death of a man of 82 years as untimely. Yet the fact that Ken Minogue died on a plane returning from a conference in the Galapagos Islands where he had delivered an admired address, preparing to promote the latest translation of his new book, and 'in mid-sentence' (as Peter Coleman wrote here in a graceful tribute last week) suggests that the deceased still had a great deal of life in him. But then Ken always had a great deal of life in him — several lives, indeed — and that life will continue to influence people and politics in three continents for some time to come.
Ken was born in New Zealand and educated in Australia (Sydney Boys' High School and Sydney University). He never lost touch with either country. Once he had achieved some academic eminence in Britain, he returned regularly to write, to lecture, and (inevitably) to take part in public controversy in both. He was later awarded Australia's Centenary Medal for services to political science. But this success abroad took a little time.
Ken left Australia in the early Fifties as a deckman on a Russian ship headed for Odessa. Having made his way to London, he became in succession an aspiring writer, a schoolteacher and a university lecturer. Ken soon found his vocation, however, as a lecturer at the London School of Economics, where the distinguished Tory philosopher Michael Oakeshott was head of its politics department. Ken taught there for almost 50 years, succeeding Oakeshott as professor of politics in due course, but also becoming a fixture in the various institutes, learned societies and salons of the London political scene. By the early 1970s he was a central figure in a very diverse set of writers, academics, politicians and journalists who exerted considerable but largely unnoticed influence on the Tories, then needing travel directions after two election defeats.
It was an unusually brilliant group, including, in addition to Ken and Oakeshott, Bill and Shirley Letwin, Elie Kedourie, Maurice Cowling, Maurice Cranston, P.T. Bauer, Perry Worsthorne, T.E. Utley, Noel Malcolm, Roger Scruton, John Casey, J.B. Kelly and Frank Johnson. It was rooted in three institutions: the LSE, Cambridge (in particular, Peterhouse) and above all the salon run by Shirley Letwin, with whom Ken had a close intellectual friendship.
Shirley's dinner table, especially after her Sunday tennis parties, was the occasion of extraordinary conversation on topics ranging widely from the latest ballet through the novels of Trollope to the burgeoning oil crisis but usually returning to the troubled state of Toryism. In addition to the above regulars, Shirley's guests might include Friedrich Hayek, Richard Pipes (of Yale and the Reagan White House), philosopher Freddy Ayer, historian Hugh Thomas, Margaret Thatcher, Michael Portillo or a very young Nigella Lawson. And Ken was almost always at the table, and usually on the tennis court beforehand where he exhibited a powerful, if erratic, Australian serve.
Composed as it was of good talkers and writers with intellectual self-confidence and views on everything, this group exerted influence socially. But it also did so more publicly through outlets such as the Daily Telegraph editorial page, the magazines Encounter and The Spectator (at different times), and the conservative think-tanks then beginning to sprout: the Institute for Economic Affairs, the Centre for Policy Studies, the Salisbury Group (which published an intellectual quarterly edited by Roger Scruton) and the Conservative Philosophy Group, which discussed papers by Oakeshott and others after dinner in the home of Hugh and Antonia Fraser.
Margaret Thatcher was a founder of the CPS, a friend to the IEA and the Salisbury Group and a scholarship girl, still eager to learn, at the CPG, where Ken was an equally regular pundit. Ken, the Letwins, and their dinner-table philosophers gave her wider Tory arguments to buttress the IEA's classical liberal ones to help shape the new Thatcherite direction of the party. Ken became an ally to the new prime minister in office and a good personal friend afterwards. He has a good claim (or as he might have put it, he risks the guilt) to being a founder of Thatcherism.
Most of the metropolitan media missed all this at the time, but they latched onto it in retrospect and made Ken an academic celebrity. His books were the real foundation of this public reputation: The Liberal Mind, frequently republished; Alien Powers, perhaps his deepest work, an exploration of the roots of all ideologies; and just recently The Servile Mind, which wittily examines how government infantilises its citizens. He also brought together some of the Letwin salon regulars — including Noel Malcolm, Owen Harries and Tim Fuller — in a collection of essays, Conservative Realism, that he felt represented the spirit of the salon. On these solid foundations Ken built a set of more immediate journalistic responses to current affairs in magazines such as Prospect, Quadrant and National Review.
It was not long before he became a prominent public intellectual of the Right (though rarely included in the lists of such). And because he was a brilliant talker, both profound and entertaining, he was regularly invited onto the better debate programs by the BBC.
Ken was, finally, a practical man of affairs. In addition to his academic duties as head of an LSE department, he gave generously of his time and experience to organisations in several countries with whose causes he sympathised: the Michael Oakeshott Society, the Centre for Policy Studies, the Bruges Group, and the Mont Pelerin Society whose president he had been until 2012 and whose conference he had been attending when he died.
In the last 20 years of his life, Ken went into the salon business himself. With his second wife Beverley Cohen he gave a series of lunch and dinner parties at their Fulham home that their generosity also turned into a very high class B&B for visiting intellectuals, Aussies and others. The Robert Conquests, the Tim Fullers, the Roger Kimballs, and (I have to add), the John O'Sullivans were frequent guests. We would join the locals — who might include his son or daughter, his step-daughters, his first wife Val (with whom he remained on very amicable terms), veterans of the Letwin salon, conservative academics/reporters/politicians of the new generation, including Cabinet Minister Oliver Letwin. Bev was a superb cook — many have hymned her steak and kidney pie — Ken a munificent host. And these evenings were rich in friendship and argument until, sadly, they came to an end with Bev's death three years ago.
This ironic critique of state infantilism, however, is merely the negative side of Ken's positive attachment to the life lived freely. He lived that way himself, and by his friendship and writing he helped others to live it too.

'Why We Sing' a hit
Bette McFarren La Junta Tribune-Democrat
The Otero Junior College Student and Community Choir gave the audience at the Ed Stafford Theatre on a chilly Monday evening several good reasons to sing in their Spring Concert, "Why We Sing!" They were Playfulness, Worship, Faith, Hope in Hard Times, Ferocity in War, Sorrow, Lullaby, Drinking Songs, Getting "In the Mood," and Pure Fun, the names of their divisions of songs.
Actually Pure Fun, the finale, turned out to be a love story, acted out on stage by Amanda Rees and her prom date, Kasey Coates, showing the various stages of a romance.
First came "Silly Love Songs," featuring Dawn Polmiller, Susan Shand and Tracey Salzbrenner.
Then came "She's a Lady," "Precious and Few," "Then Came You" and "Hey, Won't You Play," sung by Heather Pidcock-Reed and Mike Shima.
The break-up of the happy couple, accompanied by loud crying into handkerchiefs and dabbing at the eyes from the choir, introduced "Help Me Make It Through the Night" with soloist Mike Shima. The next songs were "One Less Bell to Answer," featuring a solo by Pollmiller, "All by Myself" and "Last Dance," featuring soloist Katie Lagergren.
But wait. The couple comes together again after the last dance.
"You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" brings them back together and they celebrate to the strains of "Reunited." At the end of the set (and the concert), the choir waves those hankies and tosses them at the end.
The show started with a trio - Lexie Summers, Shima and Pollmiller - singing "Sing, Sing a Song" backstage, with an empty stage out front. Then the choir came crashing out with "Trashin' the Camp" from the musical "Tarzan."
Worship was represented by the complex "Cum Sancto Spiritu," in a polyphonic four-part harmony.
Faith was represented by "His Eye Is on the Sparrow."
Hope in Hard Times was represented by "How Can I Keep from Singing?" and "Battle Hymn of the Republic."
Ferocity in War brought forth "O Fortuna."
Use your imagination for the rest, except for "A Musical," in which Brenda Erwin tries to explain the appeal of musicals and Randy Daniher scoffs.
Some said this concert was their favorite of the concerts the choir has presented, said Judy Hensley, choir member.

EGA to strengthen relationships in Europe at GIFA 2015
Europe market accounted for 23 per cent of EGA's sales in 2014
United Arab Emirates: Aiming to solidify ties with the European market and take advantage of growth opportunities, Emirates Global Aluminium ("EGA") will participate at GIFA 2015, which takes place in Germany from 16 to 20 June. Taking place every four years, GIFA provides a platform for industry networking as well as showcasing innovations that will shape the future of the sector. It is the largest aluminium exhibition in Europe and the most important trade fair in the world for foundry technology.
This makes GIFA a key event for EGA, which is one of the largest and leading suppliers of foundry alloys to the automotive industry where they are used in the manufacture of wheel rims, sub-frames, suspension parts, cross members, engine blocks and engine cradles among various other applications. Consistency of product quality and high metal purity ensure the continuous demand for EGA's re-melt foundry products.
Ranked among the world's five largest primary aluminium producers, EGA's core operating subsidiaries Dubai Aluminium ("DUBAL", also known as EGA Jebel Ali) and Emirates Aluminium ("EMAL", also known as EGA Al Taweelah) have a combined annual production of 2.4 million tonnes per annum. This also makes EGA the largest primary aluminium producer in the GCC region, accounting for approximately 50 per cent of total regional production capacity.
Europe is EGA's second largest market, with almost a quarter of EGA's total annual production being exported to Europe each year (23 per cent in 2014) – comprising mainly billet and re-melt foundry products. EGA first shipped metal to the European market in 1996, and today ships products to about 24 countries in Western and Eastern Europe, via 44 discharge ports across the region.
"Given that the European Union as a whole needs to import approximately 60 per cent of its primary aluminium requirements, there is abundant opportunity for us to achieve continued growth in sales to Europe," says Walid Al Attar (Chief Marketing Officer: EGA). "Our participation in GIFA demonstrates our deep commitment to the region, which is affirmed by our well-established offices in Zurich and Milan."
Al Attar adds that EGA sustains long-term relationships with customers, suppliers and partners through mutual trust and delivery on promises. "Events such as GIFA provide an opportunity to strengthen these relationships as well as to widen our business network and ensure future growth," he says.
EGA and its core operating subsidiaries have participated successfully at GIFA for many years. As in prior years, the EGA exhibition stand at the 2015 event will showcase EGA's industry leadership – specifically its high quality aluminium products, proprietary in-house developed technologies, exemplary operating practices and commitment to sustainability.

Tallahassee-Leon County GIS Rolled Out First Phase of Incident Management System
Tallahassee-Leon County GIS, a partnership program between the City of Tallahassee, Leon County, and the Leon County Property Appraiser's Office in Florida, rolled out the first phase of an ESRI ArcGIS Server technology-based incident management system known as the Emergency Operations Center Incident Mapper.
Tallahassee-Leon County GIS Rolls Out First Phase of Incident Management System
ESRI ArcGIS Server to Support All Phases of Emergency Management
Redlands, California-Tallahassee-Leon County GIS (TLC GIS), a partnership program between the City of Tallahassee, Leon County, and the Leon County Property Appraiser's Office in Florida, recently rolled out the first phase of an ESRI ArcGIS Server technology-based incident management system known as the Emergency Operations Center Incident Mapper (EOC Incident Mapper). Released as part of a phased rollout, the system complements existing communication networks in organizing, analyzing, and displaying GIS information in an easy-to-understand "big picture" format. It supplies electronic display of disaster activities in real time and, once in full deployment, will support all phases of the disaster management cycle including preparation, mitigation, response, and recovery.
"The GIS technology has allowed us the opportunity to do things we have always wanted to do with the resources that we currently possess," says Lee N. Hartsfield, Tallahassee-Leon County GIS coordinator, Leon County, Florida. "We see it as a visual aid for Emergency Operations Center staff during a large-scale emergency or disaster. We tested the system in numerous exercises, allowing us to refine the input and outputs. The system will be used for all types of hazards including tornadoes, floods, weapons of mass destruction, law enforcement operations, and quarantines."
An Enterprise Incident Management System
The EOC Incident Mapper was built using ArcGIS Server 9.2 and ArcGIS Network Analyst. The ESRI Professional Services Group provided on-site consulting work as part of the implementation. In addition, the county developed a viewer in ArcIMS for nonessential staff to view nonsensitive information during an event. The incident mapping system is still in the final phases of deployment, which includes end-user evaluation and testing. In addition, the TLC GIS staff is working to complete a system user guide.
The system organizes data and events into three basic categories: emergency service points, point events, and area events. It allows real-time interaction for managing resource and personnel allocation, placement, and routing.
Emergency service points include facilities and apparatus that may be open, closed, or placed on standby. This includes items such as Red Cross shelters, sandbag distribution points, and work crew feeding sites. Typically, these were tracked separately by different agencies.
Point events are incidents such as a fire, hazardous chemical spill, or similar type of disaster confined to a specific location. The incident management system provides National Incident Management System (NIMS)-compliant symbology for the command center, staging areas, incident base camps, helibase, and heliport. Using aerial photography, either through the Incident Mapper at the EOC or with a mobile application on a laptop, staff can quickly determine the optimal location for each of these facilities. Their locations can then be communicated to everyone involved in response over the Internet or over a secured intranet site.
An area event includes both man-made emergencies and natural disasters that impact more than one location or a series of locations within the county. The system can quickly adapt from a point event to an area event as the geographic impacts broaden in scope and effect. Users can track several common incidents that may occur simultaneously. This includes automobile accidents, downed trees, downed power lines, power outages, flooding, and quarantined areas. The common incidents also carry a status that indicates open, assigned, or closed; it can identify whether traffic flow is blocked or impeded. The system makes it easy for users to quickly respond to changing conditions and new information, providing emergency managers with a real-time view of the critical information.
The system will be available to any agency within Leon County and the City of Tallahassee. It will maintain 45 spatial data layers including roads, parcels, hospitals, airports, and multifamily complexes with a hot link to building and site layout. It will also include a population density grid, areas of potential flooding, hazardous materials sites, evacuation routes, locations of at-risk individuals (individuals who may require special assistance during an evacuation due to a medical condition), traffic light status, aerial imagery, critical facilities, and more.

WV Teacher of the Year
HomeWV Teacher of the Year
2022 WV Teacher of the Year
Past West Virginia Teachers of the Year
County Teachers of the Year
The mission of the West Virginia Teacher of the Year Program is to recognize teachers of excellence and connect them with a network of other equally inspirational and innovative educators. By recognizing those teachers who bring honor to their profession, the West Virginia program hopes to energize students, enhance community respect for learning, and revitalize teachers across the state.
West Virginia has long been recognized as one of the states with the oldest and most consistent Teacher of the Year programs in the nation. This prestigious, national program is an initiative of the Council of Chief State School Officers in partnership with the Voya Foundation that places emphasis on excellence in teaching and teacher recognition.
The West Virginia Department of Education strongly encourages each superintendent to nominate one outstanding teacher for the 2021 West Virginia Teacher of the Year Program. County nominations of teachers intending to retire, or teachers who will not be in the classroom actively teaching in the 2020-2021 school year will be recognized at the state level, but they are not eligible to be named the 2022 West Virginia Teacher of the Year or a finalist.
Relationship of Participant to West Virginia
The intent of the Teacher of the Year program is to help communicate the excellence of teaching to the public. The selected teacher will be requested to maintain a relationship with the West Virginia Department of Education for one year. During that time, the teacher will have the opportunity to give lectures, provide consultations, and participate in other activities with the department. It is expected that the selected teacher will be released from teaching responsibility by the local board of education on these occasions, but will continue as an employee of the school and the county school district. The West Virginia Department of Education will provide travel and lodging expenses for activities required of the West Virginia Teacher of the Year.
It is anticipated that the other county nominees, who have been selected at the county level, will serve as educational resources for local education agencies.
The principal purpose for collecting this information is to provide the data necessary to make determinations of qualifications for Teacher of the Year. This information may be shared with local, state, and national education agencies for lawful purposes as acknowledged by signing and submitting the acknowledgement form.
Teacher Eligibility
Each year the State of West Virginia identifies an outstanding teacher to be the West Virginia Teacher of the Year and to be the state nominee for National Teacher of the Year Program. Please read the following information carefully and be sure that you are eligible for consideration.
The candidate should be an exceptionally dedicated, knowledgeable, and skilled teacher in any state-approved or accredited school pre-kindergarten through grade twelve, who is planning to continue in an active teaching status the following year of application. (Supervisory and administrative responsibilities should be of secondary consideration). This opportunity is open to early childhood, middle, high, and adolescent level teachers of all subject areas.
The teacher must:
hold professional certification in area(s) of assignment;
be a current full-time classroom teacher as defined by a teaching contract;
have completed the past three years as a full-time classroom teacher in West Virginia; and
have verification of eligibility and consent to participate
In the event that you currently have or have had approved leave in the past three years which did not constitute a break in service, you are eligible to apply.
County nominations of teachers intending to retire at the end of the same school year in which they were nominated will be recognized at the state level, but they are not eligible to be named the West Virginia Teacher of the Year or a finalist.
The teacher should:
inspire students of all backgrounds and abilities to learn;
have the respect and admiration of students, parents, and colleagues;
play an active and useful role in the community as well as in the school; and
be poised, articulate, and possess the energy to withstand a taxing schedule.
The criteria for a National Teacher of the Year Candidate are as follows:
The National Teacher of the Year candidate has the respect and admiration of their colleagues and
is an expert in their field who guides students of all backgrounds and abilities to achieve excellence;
collaborates with colleagues, students, and families to create a school culture of respect and success;
deliberately connects the classroom and key stakeholders to foster a strong community at large;
demonstrates leadership and innovation in and outside of the classroom walls that embodies lifelong learning; and
expresses themselves in an engaging and articulate way.

When you rubbish an idea or reject a person that means you are repudiating that person or an idea. It is a verb. Its first usage dates back to 1545 and has originated from Latin repudiates, which is a past participle of repudiare, which has originated from repudium. It means rejection of a prospective spouse.
Repudiate can be easily learnt while associating the word to a situation in the movie Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. In the movie when Snape kills Dumbeldore, former rejected/repudiated the authority of the latter.
It can also be confused with the word refudiate, as repudiate and refudiate means to reject something or to refuse to acknowledge something.


When we think of a princess, we tend to picture forests and castles and all kinds of enchanting details. To shake things up, the inspiration for this shoot takes an enchanted princess and puts her in a natural desert setting instead. This bride has ventured far past her woodsy setting, past the light and shade of the forest environment to search for her one true love.
Ashley Rae Photography, and the team of vendors that helped put this shoot together, pulled moody colors that embrace the warmth, elegance, and rich, earthy tones of the desert into the floral crown and bouquet by incorporating 2015's Pantone color of the year "marsala". The bride was in an Ivory bridal gown that was light and ethereal, topped with hand-embroidered chiffon vines, with silk organza leaves paired with a cathedral length veil. With the desert scene, the moody richness of marsala and the stunning gown and accessories, we think this team created a glorious new princess image to love!
Wow, those dresses and the stationery are stunning! Lovely shoot.
This is beyond beautiful! I just shared on pinterest!
Those floral designs are kinds of gorgeous!
This is so incredibly dreamy!
The desert scene and the whole scenery are simply amazing for the styled wedding photoshoot you posted. Love how thebride is featured against the mountain ridge and the soft light falls on her hair and dress.
This is a dream for every wedding photographer: beautiful bride, gorgeous dress and lots of flowers. The color palette is also well selected. it supports the overall style and mood.
I wish I would be able to photograph one day in the desert and capture the moments from an exciting and beautiful day. Thank you for sharing the photos with us. Such a big inspiration!
Oh man! This is absolutely amazing – I am so in love with everything about this. The florals are amazing, the shots are killer, and that GOWN is absolutely beautiful!

Central Michigan football beats Western Michigan, 42-30: Game thread replay
Tyler J. Davis
Central Michigan football and Western Michigan play Wednesday night for a chance to stay alive in their crowded division standings.
So how do you watch CMU (4-4, 2-2 Mid-American Conference) meet WMU (5-3, 2-2) in Kalamazoo? ESPNU will have a broadcast, or you can follow the tweets below.
The loser of the game would be nearly eliminated from any hope of a division crown as Northern Illinois leads the MAC West with a 4-0 conference record.

Chippewa coach Jim McElwain is amp'd, according to CMU athletics. He hasn't beaten Western in his two seasons in Mount Plesant, and Central hasn't won in the series since the 2017 game at Waldo Stadium.
"We haven't stopped them in two years. I think they could have put 200 points on us if they wanted to the last couple years," McElwain said. "(Western) has embarrassed us and me personally the last two years. … We've got to play a lot better."
If you'll recall, WMU won a 52-44 shootout with CMU last season as the teams combined for over 1,000 yards offense.
CMU is coming off a nail-biting loss to NIU, where the Chips blew a two-possession lead in the fourth quarter... then missed a game-winning 40-yard field goal with 7 seconds left in the game.
WMU lost to Toledo, the last-place team in the West, 34-15.
Suffice to say both teams could use a win and that sweet, sweet victory cannon.

"Rustic" is a beautiful combination of country cottage and farmhouse decor. Rustic kitchens add instant warmth and charm to a home, and are equally appropriate for both large and small spaces. To create a contemporary cozy look, check out these decorating ideas… No ceramic roosters or toile fabric doilies here! Start with exposed wood beams on the ceiling and a muted color scheme where natural materials will dominate. Salvaged wood with imperfections like knots, weathering, and grooves make the kitchen more appealing. Add a rough-hewn plank, tumbled stone or polished concrete floor. Consider an artisan stone oven or a wood-burning stove in addition to modern appliances. Dark wood can be too imposing for smaller kitchens so choose bleached or primitive painted light wood (oak or pine) cabinetry instead. When combining wood finishes, make sure they are complementary to each other. If you paint, stick with country colors like blues, browns, greens or muted reds. Distressing is optional since Type A personalities may not be able to tolerate intentionally chipped paint. Custom cabinets can also be created to mimic barn doors and a vibrant Shaker-style island can become the room's focal point. Matte metal and industrial hardware are most appropriate for rustic kitchens because bright and shiny would clash badly. Exposed brick can be a great backsplash or accent wall. Install open shelving to display baskets and kerosene lamps as well as a hanging pot rack for showing off period copper or iron cookware. Add a farmhouse table, metal bar stools or a rag rug to complete the look. Be sure to blend old with new for a rustic space that is personal to your family. You don't have to live in a rural area to bring rustic elements into your kitchen because Mother Nature is truly timeless. Cornerstone Cabinet Company uses OakCraft, Shiloh, Eclipse and other fine cabinet manufacturers to offer a full range of inviting possibilities.


A NEW art exhibition centre has opened on the Costa del Sol.
The Auditorio-Teatro Felipe on Calle Santo Tomas de Aquino in Estepona has unveiled its airy and large new space, which it will use to showcase art and photography.
Malagueno Artist Andrés Antúnez is the first to exhibit his drawings of famous film stars in the room, which was opened in a previously empty space near to the new cafe-theatre in the hall of the auditorium.
Exhibitions, which will include a mix of local and national artists, will change every two months.
It is the latest edition to the building, which has a large auditorium where it hosts plays and concerts.
At last positive news, this cultural waste land of the Costa del Sol could do with more positive news concerning the arts. Its not just criminal gangs and drunken brits who live here.

One of the char dhams, Gangotri, in Uttarkashi, is a small town with the temple of Goddess Ganga at its heart. A 12-hour drive from Rishikesh, Gangotri is nestled among lofty Garhwal Himalayan peaks, glaciers and dense forests, and is one of highest pilgrimages in India (approx 3,415 m).
One of the most revered temple destinations of India, Kedarnath town is nestled in the mighty Garhwal Himalayas. The Kedarnath temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is a part of Char Dham pilgrimage circuit, and is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva in India.
The Badrinath Temple also known as the Badrinarayan Temple, located in Uttarakhand's Badrinath town, is one of the Char Dhams. The temple is believed to have been established by sage Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century. With Lord Vishnu as its presiding deity, the temple remains open for six months in a year.
Uttarakhand or Devbhoomi A mystical land of mountains and mythologies, exquisite landscapes and exhilarating adventure, and wellness and yoga, Uttarakhand has something to offer every traveller. Popularly known as Devbhoomi, or the land of gods, the state is framed by the Himalayas and divided into two main regions, Garhwal and Kumaon.

A New York Times report puts on the "fit to print" record what has been rumored about for years in regard to sexual misconduct by Louis C.K. Emily Nussbaum shares her reaction, and David Sims considers how the industry will grapple with this. Producer Mike Royce, who has worked with Louis C.K., says he never saw the alleged behavior but stands in support of the women sharing their experiences. HBO has cut ties with C.K., while FX says the matter is under review. Scaachi Koul says the C.K. revelations feel like a personal betrayal given his self-aware comedy routines. Willa Paskin looks back on Louie in light of the recent news.

Purdue continues to hit the jackpot on recruits.
VolleyballMag.com recently listed three future Boilermakers among its Fab 50 prep players nationally.
Purdue had three players among the top 50, tied with second most, joining Big Ten foes Nebraska and Ohio State, along with Oregon. Stanford had five among the top 50.
Six-foot-2 setter Megan Renner out of Iowa, along with a pair of 6-foot-2 outside hitters Maddie Koch (Wisconsin) and Emma Ellis (North Carolina) all rank in the top 50 in the Class of 2019 rankings. Maddy Chinn, Michigan's 2018 Miss Volleyball, also is in Purdue's recruiting class for the fall.
Renner verbally committed to Purdue two-and-a-half years ago.

Koch verbally committed to the Boilermakers in August 2017, as did Ellis.
As a senior, she led Ashwaubenon High to a Wisconsin regional championship and a 30-8 record. She had 530 kills, averaging 5.4 per set on .345 hitting and also was second on her team, averaging three digs per set.

Ellis led Charlotte Catholic to North Carolina's Sweet 16 round of the state tournament, finishing 20-9.
She pounded 406 kills, averaging 4.4 per set, and also led the Cougars with 58 blocks.
"Emma is one of the best athletes I have ever recruited to Purdue. She is a terrific jumper, very physical and hits the ball hard. She is going to be a terrific impact player for our program."

Q: How to validate selectize element while submitting a form without specific library? I want to validate a selectize element while submitting a form.
<form method="post" accept-charset="utf-8" action="/user/edit/2">
    ...
    <div class="selectize">
        <select name="roles" multiple required>
        </select>
    </div>
    ...
    <button type="submit" />
</form>

<script>
var user_roles = $('.selectize select[name="roles[]"]');
var $user_roles = user_roles.selectize({
    options: [{
        value: 'admin',
        label: 'Admin'
    },
    {
        value: 'user',
        label: 'User'
    },
    {
        value: 'developer',
        label: 'Developer'
    }],
    plugins: ['remove_button'],
    delimiter: ',',
    persist: false,
    maxItems: null,
    placeholder: 'Select a role ...',
    valueField: 'value',
    labelField: 'label'
});
...

As you can see, I added an attribute to the selectize element required.
In that case, if I click submit, it doesn't show anything.
I want to show normal jQuery validation message without any library or add any validate script like the following image if the value of selectize element is empty.

Other fields inside the same form show validation messages like the image except the selectize roles element.

A: It was because of selectize version issue.
Downgrading the version 0.11.0 to 0.8.5 worked for me. So I think we should report the bug or new feature even downgrading works.

In today's world, everyone is trying to do what they can to save money. And while there are many ways to get the most out of your budget, one fun and effective way to do this is with DIY projects.
An especially versatile material to use in DIY projects is wood. There are so many fun and simple projects to be done with wood, and each will be effective in helping you stretch your hard-earned cash.
When it comes to decorating your home, there are countless ways to adorn your walls. However, store-bought mirrors, artwork, or even decorative bulletin boards can be quite costly! Instead of splurging, you can easily create wall art for your home with wood. Long boards with a wire across them make for a great backdrop to hang things like photos and cards with metal clips. Switch out the images with the seasons to keep your work fresh.
This particular furniture piece could run you a bill of $100 or more if you were to buy one, but making it out of a wood stump is a far more economical option that will give your home some serious flair. Believe it or not, it's easy to find a tree stump that can be used as the top of the table. Search your neighborhood for tree stumps that are sitting out for garbage pick-up, or look on sites like Craigslist where people advertise them for free. Using a drill, screws, and purchased table legs, it's easy to assemble this piece of furniture. Before you know it, you'll have a beautiful end table with tons of character.
There's no need to buy an expensive wine rack in order to have a chic and trendy place to store your bottles. Instead, you can easily make one out of wood! You'll need a sizable wooden plank, a drill press that has the capability to drill on an angle, sandpaper, a pencil, stain and/or shellac, L-brackets for hanging, and a tape measure. To create the piece, begin by cutting the wood to the desired size, depending on how many wine bottles you want it to hold. Then, use your pencil to mark where the holes will be drilled. You will want to drill on a 30 degree angle, so leave four inches between each hole. Drill the holes, making each large enough to fit the neck of a wine bottle. Then, sand the wood and stain or shellac it as desired. Once it dries, hang it on your wall, placing wine bottles in the holes facing downward. You'll have not only a functional wine rack, but a decorative piece for your wall as well!
Instead of buying pricey wall hooks, easily make your own! These will elevate the levels of convenience and organization in your home while saving you some green. Make some out of sturdy branch pieces found in your yard. All you need are the branches, sandpaper (optional), a knife, paint (optional), a drill, and some nails to hang them with. Knife the back of the branches until they are smooth and peel all of the bark off of them, unless you prefer the natural look. If you want to paint them, sandpaper the branches until they are smooth, and then give them a couple coats. Once dry, simply use the drill and nail to hang them, and you have some pretty awesome hooks that cost next to nothing!
These are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to wood projects that are a money-saving goldmine. They're fun, easy to complete, and are bound to give your home a lot of character.

On Visionary Art
Rob Percival
The Visionary lineage predates religion, and has informed sacred art across the millennia. The Visionary artist is the eternal poet – 'ein verschollener Stil' is the grammar through which they speak. The lineage from these founding fathers is subtle but true. From the shaman's etchings, this artistic spirit continues into the carvings of the ancients.

The New Eye – Visionary Art and Tradition
The historical lineage of visionary artists masks a deeper and more commanding claim that sets the genre apart from the marvelous idiosyncrasies of outsider art. The claim is that the visionary artist gives personal expression to a transpersonal dimension, a cosmic plane that uncovers the nature that lies beyond naturalism, and that reveals, not an individual imagination, but an imaginal world, a mundus imaginalis.

Last week, the Department for Education (DfE) published a long-awaited update to Working Together to Safeguard Children (July 2018) (WTSC), which comes into force immediately, replacing Working Together to Safeguard Children (2015).
This guidance sets out additional safeguarding responsibilities for organisations working with children and introduces a new model for inter-agency working, which will see the disappearance of Local Safeguarding Children's Boards (LSCBs) and the introduction of three local 'Safeguarding Partners'.
Meanwhile, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has published new guidance for tackling prejudice-based bullying. Although the guidance is aimed at schools, its principles are applicable to all organisations working with children.
This article highlights the key changes to WTSC and the main features of the EHRC Guidance. It also sets out some of the steps that organisations can take in response to these developments.
If you require further information on anything covered in this briefing please contact Katie Rigg or Jane Foster, or your usual contact at the firm on 020 3375 7000.

First and foremost, we'd like to thank you for your interest in and attendance of PEMCo's very first fall production. "Edges" represents a unique chance for our program to diversify its musical theatre repertoire. This show is unlike any PEMCo has done before—it's a cross between the big musical you see in Washington Hall and the Musical Revue you see here in the ballroom. We are thrilled to bridge the gap!
"Edges" was conceived by duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, recent graduates of the esteemed Musical Theatre program at the University of Michigan, in their sophomore year of college. Pasek & Paul, as they are commonly known, have been dubbed "the next Jason Robert Brown" in the musical theatre world. Contemporary in nature, the writing of both JRB and Pasek & Paul provides a new direction for musical theatre that is often generalized as "too traditional."
We came to know "Edges" in a fortunate turn of events: last winter, Lindsay had the privilege of both meeting and singing for Benj at a musical theatre workshop in New York. Not only did she get to hear the phenomenal story of their arrival on the scene, but was fortunate enough to keep in close contact with Benj over the year. Benj sent an email last May encouraging us to take a look at "Edges" and consider producing it here at Notre Dame. He mentioned a recent revamp of the show and wanted us to be among the first to present the new material. Lindsay enthusiastically accepted the offer, and now we're here to share it with you.
"Edges" is a song cycle about the lessons we learn as we come of age. Whether it regards relationships, self-reflection, or hopes and dreams, these lessons are relevant and speak especially well to those of us who are, in fact, coming of age. The show has no central plot—rather, the intention is to offer a window into the life of the everyman. Each piece of the show is reflective of an issue or event we've experienced or will likely face at some point down the road. While they share a common denominator, not all of the pieces are meant to be connected. Benj and Justin gave us everything they have written for this show—multiple versions, alternate lyrics, and additional songs—and the freedom to build it however we wished. Similarly, we leave the interpretation of "Edges" largely up to you.
As with any show, we have multiple people to thank for their dedication and energy. We have to thank our producers, Connor and Mary, whose significant contribution got this inaugural fall show rolling. We have been motivated and supported by the enthusiasm of all PEMCo members, past and present, here and abroad. We are grateful to Benj and Justin for providing us with fresh material, in which every song is full of vitality and youth. Most of all, we are indebted to our amazingly talented and remarkably efficient cast. The effort they have put into this show is a testament to their talent and work ethic. Rehearsals started just three weeks ago, and they have been on top of their game since day one. Fifteen wordy songs and seventeen days later, we are proud to present "Edges."
Thanks again for your attendance. Enjoy the show!
The Pasquerilla East Musical Company is back for the 2008 season with "Edges," a revue-style production written by two graduates of the University of Michigan, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. "Edges" marks a new venture for PEMCo, as their mainstage productions are schedule to stage in the spring semester of each academic year. Â With the addition of a fall show, the students participating in PEMCo are helping to expand the arts scene at Notre Dame and Saint Mary's.
"We had a number of reasons for choosing to add a fall show to our season," Connor Nowalk, a senior producers, said in an e-mail to the Observer. "Primarily we, as a company, feel strongly about the promotion of the arts, both in general and here at Notre Dame. By providing more opportunities for performers and audience members alike, we hope to both contribute to and shape the arts scene at Notre Dame."
For those new to the ND-SMC arts landscape, PEMCo is a musical theater company that was originally founded in 1997 by Pasquerilla East resident Kelly McGann. "[McGann] organized a group of friends to perform 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,' using a children's chorus from the South Bend Area," Nowalk said. "Interestingly enough, some of those children go [to Notre Dame] now and have performed in PEMCo shows since."
Since that first performance of "Joseph," the company has expanded its scope and its repertoire. Recent shows have included "Ragtime," the company's 2007 mainstage production, and "Kiss Me, Kate," the mainstage show performed in February of this year. For Mary McLaughlin, a fellow senior producer, "Ragtime" was an especially memorable experience. "There was a lot of controversy surrounding the show, given some of the content," McLaughlin said in an e-mail to the Observer. Â "We ended up holding an academic forum, where we invited several prominent African American professors and mentors to join a panel and speak about some of these issues on campus."
McLaughlin cites the forum and the show together as signs of the effect that the arts can have in campus communities. "It brought our cast very close together, and I think we really made an impact on a lot of people on campus."
This year's mainstage show will be "The Producers," one of the largest undertakings in PEMCo history. The rights to the popular Mel Brooks hit were only released recently, and, "This is one of the funniest, most popular Broadway musicals ever written," Nowalk said. "We are so thrilled to be able to perform it as our mainstage show this February. We have a lot of talent - especially young talent - and an extremely knowledgeable production staff, so this is not going to be a show you are going to want to miss." "Edges," the latest addition to the PEMCo schedule, marks a departure for the company in some ways. "Bringing in a show like 'Edges' opens up the market for a style of musical theater which has been little performed at Notre Dame," Nowalk said. "Smaller, more intimate musicals have only recently become popular."  Nowalk cites the differences between a typical mainstage show, which is a much larger production, and a show like "Edges" as a chance to engage with a different kind of theater. "Because of the size and style of the main stage show … we didn't really have an opportunity to tap into this new genre.  We hope that through 'Edges' and future fall shows, we will be able to expose theater lovers to this wonderful new realm in the musical theater world."
McLaughlin cites the strength of the PEMCo team, particularly director Lindsay Schanzer and musical director Nicholas Shaneyfelt, as key to the strength of "Edges" as a production. "I can't say enough about Lindsay and Nicholas. Â Nicholas has been such a valuable member of PEMCo over the years, with his incredible musical gift, and Lindsay, only a sophomore, has already made such a tremendous mark on the company, both with her onstage talent and her gift as a director."
It was Schanzer, McLaughlin mentions, who first approached the PEMCo team about "Edges" last year. [Schanzer] came to us with this idea last year as a freshman, and we're really happy to see her take leadership in PEMCo."
