Requests are still rolling into Google Inc. in Europe for individual results to be deleted from Internet searches.
Google Inc. said Tuesday that it had received 41,000 requests from people hoping to delete individual results that turn up for their name in the first four days after it posted a Web page to take the requests late last week. The page was part of Google's response to a controversial court decision that enshrined the new "right to be forgotten" in mid-May.

MORRISVILLE, N.Y. – The North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) has announced its 2018 Men's Soccer All-Conference teams, naming Morrisville State's Toyi Hakizimana (Rochester, N.Y.) and Daniel Sparkowski (East Meadow, N.Y.) to its first and second team, respectively.
Hakizimana came in as a highly touted attacking player. After a few games the adjustment was made to move him to a defensive midfielder role, where he would be more impactful for the Mustangs group this year, and he took the change in stride.
On the season the freshman collected three goals and four assists for 10 total points, netting two game winners over Cazenovia and Wells College, and posting two assists in a single match against Cobleskill.
Sparkowski started all but one game this season, and throughout the year was the anchor of the Mustangs back line. The sophomore is a natural leader that organized a very young group around him this season to finish third in conference standings and return to the conference tournament.
Sparkowski posted one goal on the season, the game tying score in a critical matchup against Cobleskill.
The captain is a NEAC Scholar-Athlete and led Morrisville State back to the NEAC Championship Tournament quarterfinal round for a second straight season.

2019 polls: Okoye blames counsel for cases struck out by courts
…Berates staff for not being abreast of happenings
By Lateef Ibrahim, Abuja
A National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Barrister Festus Okoye has blamed the striking out in courts of some suits instituted by the commission on laziness on the part of some lawyers handling them.
Okoye categorically pointed out that
the courts struck out some of the suits filed INEC because the counsel that filed them did not keep abreast of the law and the fact that the constitution had been amended to provide timelines for the filing and disposal of pre-election matters.
The Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee said this yesterday in his welcome remarks at the opening of a 4-day workshop on media monitoring for some publicity officers of the commission in Abuja.
According to Okoye, "The Courts struck out some of the suits because the Counsel that filed some of them did not keep abreast of the law and the fact that the constitution had been amended to provide timelines for the filing and disposal of pre-election matters.
"The Courts struck out so many pre-election matters on grounds that the said suits are exercise in futility, spent and have become an academic exercise.
"A suit is academic where it is purely theoretical, makes empty sound and, of no practical utilitarian value to the plaintiff even if judgment is given in his favour.
"A suit is academic if it is not related to practical situation of human nature and humanity", he said.
Okoye, also, berated some staff of the commission for not be abreast of happenings in their environment, noting that some of them have modern communication gadgets in their offices and yet are not interested in them and hardly know how to operate them.
His words, "Some of our staff have modern communication gadgets in their offices and yet are not interested in them and hardly know how to operate them.
"Some of our staff are availed with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), the Electoral Act, 2010 (as amended), the Regulations and Guidelines of the Commission and other Manuals and Frameworks and yet do not make efforts to read and understand these documents.
"Society is dynamic and the laws must change and move with the dynamics of the society", he said.
The Commission, Okoye however assured, is presently repositioning and repackaging for the challenges ahead.
He stated that INEC is presently harnessing the lessons from the 2019 general election and harvesting positive recommendations aimed at improving subsequent elections.
According to him, "We assure participants and the Nigerian people that the Commission will continue to improve on its processes and procedures.
"We assure the various stakeholders in the electoral process that the Commission will study and analyze all the recommendations made and creatively and positively implement those that can be implemented administratively, while working with relevant stakeholders towards effecting fundamental reforms in the electoral legal framework.
"As some of you are aware, part of the challenges faced by the Commission during the 2019 general election revolves around information management.
"It revolves around strategic communication. It revolved around managing public perception around the processes and procedures of the Commission.
"It revolved around the caliber and knowledge of the staff saddled with managing its image and communicating to and with the public.
"It revolved around making information available to the media in real time to avoid speculation, rumor mongering and fake news.
"The Commission has consistently tried its best to provide information to the media. It has been upfront in media appearances and in some instances providing education on novel and unclear areas of the electoral process. "This demands that the spokespersons of the Commission must be conversant with the happening in the Commission. They must be conversant with its laws and procedures.
"They must be conversant with its processes and procedures. They must listen to the radio and the television. They must read newspapers of different qualities and varieties.
"They must access the social media platforms and understand the thinking of the different segments of the populace and their views about the electoral process. They must decipher manipulated information from outright fake news.
"They must understand when information is skewed and slanted to appeal to a constituency or achieve a particular result or outcome. They must know when a report or opinion is based on outright ignorance.
"These must then be turned into actionable recommendations for better image management and policy formulation", he said.
Okoye expressed the firm belief that the 4-day training will equip and empower commission's media officers with modern skills of monitoring the activities of the media, to keep the Commission abreast of issues as they break or begin to trend especially on the social media.
"We believe that this is the way to go in being proactive in information driven society where political considerations and partisan posturing sometimes play a huge role in the dissemination of fake news, misinformation and dis-information", he said.
He reasoned that media monitoring will help the staff to appreciate what is being said about INEC and where the commission needs to respond and timely too.
His words, "The establishment of a media monitoring center within the Commission is a step in the right direction. It is important for the Commission as a public trust to understand what the mainstream and the social media are doing and saying. "The media shapes, molds and defines the direction of public opinion in given circumstances. As a Commission that does not own radio and television stations, the Commission relies on the media to get its messages across to the Nigerian people.
"It is important for us to know whether our messages as a Commission gets to the Nigerian people and in what form the message gets to them.
"It is important for us to understand the mood of the nation and the interpretation given to the actions and inactions of the Commission.
"It is important for the Commission to use the instrumentality of the media to formulate policies, reshape policies and mold public opinion in given circumstances", it said.
The Commission lauded the collaborative partnership existing between it and the European Centre for Electoral Support (ECES) targeted at "strengthening the processes of the Commission, promoting Nigeria's electoral process and deepening our democracy".

AmCham language program reaches 10,000 students
The Language Ambassador Program of the American Chamber Of Commerce In Hungary launched five years ago now features the involvement of more than 10,000 secondary school students in Budapest and surrounding areas, according to a press release today.

Currently, 197 volunteers of 59 member companies take part in the program, to help raise awareness in more than 90 secondary schools about the importance of speaking foreign languages.
"Together with our 365 members, our goal is to see a ten-spot world competitiveness improvement in ten years for Hungary," said Írisz Lippai-Nagy, CEO of AmCham Hungary, commenting on the Language and Career Ambassador Programs that are an integral part of the AmCham strategy introduced last year.
In order to reach the "10in10" goal, AmCham chose four areas where the chances of making a significant impact are the highest. These focus areas are investment, talent, innovation, and health. Hungary is currently ranked 77th among the 148 countries assessed for labor market efficiency, the press statement says.
The Language Ambassador Program supported by the Ministry of Human Capacities was launched in 2011 to help raise awareness among high school students of one of the European Union's eight key competencies; the importance of communication in foreign languages, AmCham said.

A WORLD WITH A VIEW: As Seen Through The Lens of DONATEL
By Sandra Castillo
Photographer DONATEL is on a mission and that is to capture the one, standout image that has never been seen or experienced aesthetically before. Of course, since he rarely leaves home without his camera, it is more than likely his personal agenda is well on its way to being accomplished.
For it is with this very instrument, the camera, that has allowed his exceptional talents to marinate in the still waters of his mind's eye. Donatel is an expert in his field, deftly constructing images veiled in hues and shadows that perfectly translate into what it is he sees when he looks through the lens of his camera. Even though he has been involved with photography for nearly forty years, he considers the last two decades as the ones that have anchored his name to his craft. Donatel has gone on record as saying that the moment he "acquired a photography studio, that's when I became a professional photographer."
Just like so many of his constituents who view the world through the lens of a camera, Donatel has taken the long and winding road to be recognized for his art. For him, it has always been about the joy of the journey that has allowed him to witness the world and humanity at large, all from the astute perspective of the one whose camera is really an extension of his soul.
Originally from New York City, Donatel has called California home since the late '80s. When he was living in NYC, in the early 1970's, he worked as a concert photographer at Madison Square Garden, where he shot concert photos of The Rolling Stones, The Who and many other legendary
musical acts. Donatel was also called in to document major sporting events, including those involving the New York Knicks basketball team. "I used to find my way to the basket, the center of the action. This is where I took the photos, which was right under the basket. I'd sit with the other professional photographers and shoot the game and be right in the middle of the action. That was the most fun and exciting part of the assignment," said Donatel, recalling those moments he and his camera made it to the floor of the Garden.
Donatel's current list of clients include several San Diego publications – Uptown, Gay and Lesbian Times and Buzz Magazine – corporations and real estate agencies throughout Southern California and aspiring models and actors, who seek out his services to obtain that perfect headshot. Donatel is also highly sought after to document major events around town, corporate parties, weddings and the occasional, catered blacktie affairs.
Donatel considers his mentor as the late photographer, Herb Ritts, who, sadly, passed away in 2002, and was responsible for creating many of the black-and-white, ground-breaking videos that immortalized the likes of Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson and Madonna, during the early '90s. He is also an admirer of the master of portraiture, Richard Avedon, whose stark, edgy portraits of Andy Warhol, Judy Garland, Twiggy and Marilyn Monroe became visual templates for Donatel's own work.
In every photographer's career, there is usually that one, definitive moment which stands out as extraordinary. For Donatel, it was when he shot a photo of blues guitarist, BB King, during one of his concerts. As
Donatel peered through his viewfinder, he could see the performer looking right back at him. It was one of the most gratifying experiences of Donatel's career, as he witnessed the exchange of real emotion in
the eye contact between a living legend and lens man.

Most people love granola. But most people also don't realize that it's super easy for your granola to actually be very unhealthy. Many granola brands are loaded with sugar or other processed ingredients, so if you're buying your granola at the store, it's super important to LOOK AT THE INGREDIENT LIST. Look for granolas low in sugar or that are sweetened lightly with natural sugars such as maple syrup or honey.
If you're looking for a good brand, I definitely recommend Paleo Passion Foods. Their granola is grain-free and filled with healthy nuts and seeds. The best part is: it's only sweetened with honey.
This recipe uses the Caribbean Coconut Granola, but you can use any flavor you want! You can also try the granola yourself and get 15% off with free shipping if you use the code "kalememaybe" by going to www.paleopassionfoods.com.
These cups are great for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert! Feel free to top them off with whatever you want!
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a muffin tin with coconut oil spray/non-stick spray.
2. In a medium bowl, combine granola, melted coconut oil, and egg. Make sure the granola is evenly coated so it all gets wet from the coconut oil and egg.
3. Spoon the granola mixture into the muffin tin, patting it down. Use a spoon to press down into the center to make a indent for the Greek yogurt.
4. Bake for about 15 minutes. You may not need to blot the extra coconut oil off the cups when finished. Let cool for 5-10 minutes. You can remove the bowls with a knife, but they should come out easily. The granola cups should be firm and stay together.
5. Top with Greek yogurt, berries, and chia seeds.


Party Name: WBCMT 2007-C33 OFFICE 7870, LLC, Plaintiff, v. BAR J RANCH-KEMPER POINTE LLC, et al., Defendants.
BAR J RANCH-KEMPER POINTE LLC, et al., Defendants.
This matter is before the Court on the Motion to Stay Execution of Judgment Pending Appeal wherein Plaintiff WBCMT 2007-C33 OFFICE 7870, LLC, seeks "to maintain the status quo" by staying execution or enforcement proceedings of the Final Judgment Entry, entered on February 21, 2018, as well as staying the underlying Opinion Concluding Court Lacks Continued Jurisdiction Over Current Proceedings and the Entry Vacating Order and Judgment Entered Under and Pursuant to the Amended Complaint . Because the Final Judgment Entry neither enters a monetary award against WBCMT 2007-C33 nor compels WBCMT 2007-C33 to undertaken or perform any action, there is no execution or enforcement proceedings that could be stayed. Thus, it would be an illusory and futile act for the Court to stay execution or enforcement proceedings with respect to the Final Judgment Entry . Alternatively, upon consideration and weighing of the four traditional stay factors applicable to stays pending appeal, WBCMT 2007-C33 has failed to satisfy its burden of demonstrating the circumstances justify the exercise of this Court's discretion to issue the requested stay. Accordingly, the Motion to Stay Execution of Judgment Pending Appeal is DENIED.
Entry Granting Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment (entered on March 22, 2016) which entered a judgment against the THOMPSON DEFENDANTS "in an amount not less than the $258,669.58", as well as an additional deficiency judgment of nearly $7 million against two of the THOMPSON DEFENDANTS, including ANTHONY THOMPSON.
Previously, the THOMPSON DEFENDANTS appealed that Judgment Entry to the First District Court of Appeals. Notice of Appeal (filed on April 20, 2016) . Ultimately, on March 17, 2017, the First District concluded that the Judgment Entry "did not determine the action and prevent a judgment" and, therefore, "it is not a final order". Accordingly, that earlier appeal was dismissed for want of appellate jurisdiction and the case remanded to this Court. Judgment Entry of Dismissal (C-16-00422) .
In the interim, WBCMT 2007-C33 domesticated the Judgment Entry in Lake County, Florida, on October 31, 2016. Motion to Stay Execution ¶ 2. Ensuing enforcement actions in Lake County resulted in the sheriff of Lake County seizing the personal property of Mr. THOMPSON, with such personal property continuing to be in the possession, custody or control of the sheriff. Motion to Stay Execution ¶ 3.
see Mason v. Alexander, 44 Ohio St. 318, 333, 7 N.E. 435 (1886)("where jurisdiction is once acquired, unless the action be ended by the parties, the jurisdiction continues until final judgment in the case"); In re Burton S., 136 Ohio App.3d 386, 391, 736 N.E.2d 928 (6th Dist.)("[o]nce a court of competent jurisdiction acquires jurisdiction over an action, its authority continues until a final judgment on the merits of the dispute before it has been issued"). And it was based upon the claims in the Amended Complaint that this Court entered the Judgment Entry Granting Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment and WBCMT 2007-C33 undertook enforcement action in Florida.
Without jurisdiction over the claims asserted in the Amended Complaint, the Court entered the Entry Vacating Order and Judgment Entered Under and Pursuant to the Amended Complaint, together with the Final Judgment Entry dismissing the Amended Complaint . Subsequently, i.e., on March 7, 2018, WBCMT 2007-C33 filed the presently-pending Motion to Stay Execution, followed the next day by filing the Notice of Appeal . Through the Notice of Appeal, WBCMT 2007-C33 seeks review by the First District of this Court's ruling concerning whether this Court possessed continued jurisdiction over the claims asserted in the Amended Complaint .
Thus, even though an appeal has been taken, "Civ. R. 62 specifically provides that the trial court is not divested of jurisdiction to grant a stay of execution." Huntington Natl. Bank v. Payson, 2015-Ohio-1976, 2015 WL 2452302 ¶ 28 (2d Dist.). Thus, the Motion to Stay Execution is properly before this Court.

Q: if/else statements only logs if, not else I am stuck on a problem for my coding homework.
Here it is:

*

*Write a loop that logs "Marco!" when i is even,

*"Polo!" when i is odd.

*Do not edit the existing code.

*Hint 1: Use an if/else statement

*Hint 2: Google the mod operator (%)

My attempt
let x=11;
let y=4;
let i=x%y;

  if (i) {
 console.log("Marco!")
 }

  else  {
 console.log("Polo")
 }

This logs Marco when I need it to log polo. So while I continue to try and solve this I wanted to see how experts would do it.

A: If you want to check if a number is even or odd, use the modulo operator (%), which returns the remainder of dividing one number by the other. You should reverse your logic:

let x = 11;
let y = 4;
let i = x % y;

if (i % 2) {
  console.log("Polo!");
} else {
  console.log("Marco!");
}

console.log(i); //So you can see if the above works or not

Here's how this works:
let i = x % y;

What this does is it divides x by y (divides 11 by 4), and takes away the remainder - in this case the remainder would be 3, so i = 3.
Now, here comes the tricky bit. If you want to find out if a number is even, you can use % 2, which is what we're doing in the if statement. If the number is even, it will return 0 as there will be no remainder from dividing by two. It's tricky, but I'll show you as best I can:
If we have 6 (which we know is even), and we test if it is even by dividing it by 2, it should return 0 as there is no remainder:

console.log(6 % 2);

And this is how our logic in the first snippet works, only it uses Boolean truthy and falsy values. Falsy values are:
false
0
''
""
``
null
undefined
NaN

So if i is even, the modulo will return 0, meaning that the first if statement will not run because i % 2 will return 0 which evaluates to false, therefore the code will run console.log("Marco!") if i is even, but console.log("Polo!") if i is odd.

A: If you want to "run a loop" ...  you'll need to run a loop! : )
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  // do things!
}

These loops are ugly and scary!
But - it's really just a start { and an end } to some instructions.
Then there a few other things.
for (some setup, a condition, what to do after each loop)

*

*setup: make a variable to keep track of each time it runs through the directions (This is usually written i but it's just a convention - and it's for "iterator" or "index" or whatever. It can be anything you want. The setup can also be more complex

*condition: as long as this i thing is lower than 10, run the loop again

*after each loop: increment the i by one

So - the loop should just run whatever code is inside it... 10? times? or 11?
for (var counter = 0; counter < 10; counter++) {
  console.log('curerntly...', counter);
}

Now... what goes inside?
That's where the % bit comes in. This is the classic "fizz buzz" type of test.
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  var message = 'Marco';

  var isOdd = (i % 2) != 0; // if it can't be evenly divided by 2...
  if (isOdd) {
    message = 'Polo';
  }

  console.log(message);
}

https://jsfiddle.net/sheriffderek/dtkj0aby/
and you can write it in many different ways too.
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  console.log( (i % 2) != 0 ? "Marco" : "Polo" );
}

but that's pretty ugly! (yes, you can even make it shorter...)
So, stick to what is helping you and your team read it instead of trying to get too crazy and unreadable!!! The code is just as much for the humans as it is for the computer. It's our shared language.

La Universidad de San Buenaventura es una universidad privada, sujeta a inspección y vigilancia por medio de la Ley 1740 de 2014 y la ley 30 de 1992 del Ministerio de Educación de Colombia. Coloquialmente es conocida como La "SanBue" o por sus iniciales: La USB. Fue fundada en 1708 por los franciscanos y es regentada por la Provincia Franciscana de la Santa Fe de Colombia. Su sistema universitario comprende: la sede principal junto con la oficina de la rectoría general (Av. Carrera 9 n.º 123-76 Of. 602-603), en Bogotá y las seccionales de Cali, Medellín, y Cartagena de Indias. Así mismo, oferta programas en las ciudades de Armenia e Ibagué.  Es miembro de la Asociación Colombiana de Universidades (ASCUN) y de la Asociación Universitaria Iberoamericana de Postgrado (AUIP).  En el año 2017, el Ministerio de Educación de Colombia le otorgó la acreditación institucional de alta calidad por un término de cuatro años.

Historia

La Universidad de San Buenaventura nació en Santafé de Bogotá, como Colegio de San Buenaventura. Deriva su nombre de San Buenaventura, quien trató de unir el conocimiento de la ciencia con la difusión del Evangelio. Fue fundada por la Orden Franciscana conforme al Decreto Especial del Definitorio Provincial de los franciscanos de 1688, por el cual se determinó "Que en Santa Fe, se erigiese y formase un Colegio con título excelso doctor San Buenaventura". Su dirección y construcción estuvo a cargo de Fray Diego Barroso en 1708.

Con fecha de 4 de marzo de 1715, Fray José Sanz, comisario general de Indias, firmó en Madrid (España) el decreto por el cual se erigía en Santa Fe de la Nueva Granada el Colegio de San Buenaventura, para la enseñanza de las disciplinas universitarias de entonces, a saber: Artes, Filosofía, Teología. Más tarde, el 15 de octubre del mismo año de 1715, el mencionado comisario general de Indias daba licencia para que, además de dos lectores de Teología (de costumbre en los estudios generales de la orden), se instituyera un tercero. Finalmente el capítulo general de la orden franciscana, reunido en Valladolid, aprobó oficialmente el Colegio Mayor de San Buenaventura, de la Nueva Granada, y le dio su sanción jurídica definitiva, con fecha del 9 de junio de 1740.

Un poco más tarde, el 19 de septiembre de 1747, fue reconocido y aprobado civilmente, y le fue concedida la facultad de otorgar grados académicos, mediante Cédula Real firmada por el Rey Fernando VI en el Buen Retiro de Madrid, en una forma tal que, —como lo dice la misma cédula— debían reconocerse "a los estudiantes seculares los recursos que legítimamente constare para la obtención de sus respectivos grados, en las Universidades de aquellos Reinos". De esta suerte, la institución vino a ser un verdadero centro universitario a los 32 años de su establecimiento, constituyendo hoy en Colombia uno de los más antiguos del país junto con la Universidad Santo Tomás, el Colegio Mayor del Rosario y la Universidad Javeriana.

El 5 de noviembre de 1861 fue clausurado el antiguo Colegio Mayor de San Buenaventura por orden de Tomás Cipriano de Mosquera, quien ordenó la extinción de las comunidades religiosas en todo el territorio colombiano. Un siglo más tarde, en 1961, el Colegio fue restaurado con la Facultad de Filosofía, mediante el Acuerdo n.º 16 del 14 de junio y ratificado por el Decreto 2892 de 1964.

En 1973 las directivas solicitaron el cambio de nombre por el de Universidad de San Buenaventura, solicitud que fue aceptada y ratificada el mismo año. Dos años después, en 1975, fue reconocida como "fundación sin ánimo de lucro, administrada desde su origen por la Provincia Franciscana de la Santa Fe de Colombia, que mediante la actividad formativa contribuye al fomento y desarrollo de la educación colombiana". En los últimos años, ha extendido su acción a tres importantes ciudades colombianas en las que ha abierto seccionales: Medellín, Cali y Cartagena.

Sede Bogotá
La sede se instala inicialmente (como colegio Mayor) en el Convento Máximo de la Purificación San Francisco, luego, en octubre de 1919, se inaugura oficialmente la casa de estudios de la Provincia en la Porciúncula (Calle 73 n.º 10 – 45). Tiempo después, este espacio acogió la primera sede después de la restauración como centro universitario. Este reinicio de actividades se dio inicialmente con la Facultad de Filosofía, después con la resolución 0510 de 1973 y en 1974 se obtuvieron las licencias ante el ICFES para la apertura de programas en las áreas de Educación Preescolar, Educación Primaria y Administración Educativa.  La permanencia de la Universidad en esta sede de la Porciúncula se dio hasta los años 90, momento en que se traslada a su campus actual ubicado en la localidad de Usaquén carrera 8h N 172-20.

Seccional Medellín
Su creación se da desde el Consejo Directivo del Colegio Mayor de San Buenaventura con sede en Bogotá, en 1965; un año después, por medio de la Providencia n.º 81487 del 29 de noviembre, se autorizó la apertura del Instituto de Ciencias Socio – Familiares, con sede en el convento franciscano de San Benito, e inició labores propiamente en 1966, aunque la celebración oficial de este acontecimiento se celebró el 27 de febrero de 1967. En 1989, se compró el terreno en el barrio Salento del municipio de Bello, teniendo como base un auxilio monetario que la Asamblea Departamental asignó a la Universidad con tal propósito.

Seccional Cali
Se crea mediante el Acuerdo n.º 100 del 6 de octubre de 1969 expedido por el Consejo de Gobierno de la Universidad de San Buenaventura. Comenzó actividades en 1970 con seis programas de pregrado inscritos en tres Facultades: Contaduría, Derecho y Educación. Esta última ofrecía cuatro programas: Educación Primaria, Historia-Filosofía; Español-Literatura y Matemáticas-Física. Su primera sede en Cali fue en las instalaciones del Convento de San Joaquín, conocido como Convento de San Francisco, en el centro de la ciudad.  En 1972 la Comunidad cede a la Universidad en Cali las instalaciones donde funcionó su Seminario ubicado en La Umbría sector de Pance y para 1980 la Universidad traslada todos sus programas y ofcinas a esta sede.

Seccional Cartagena
Esta seccional inicia el 24 de junio de 1985, fecha en que se inauguró el Centro Regional a Distancia de la sede en Bogotá. A partir de esta experiencia, el Consejo Máximo autorizó la creación de una seccional en Cartagena, siendo aprobado el 20 de mayo de 1987, a partir de lo cual se inician los trámites respectivos. Cuatro años después, el 5 de septiembre de 1991, el ICFES aprobó el estudio de factibilidad presentado por la Universidad, para la creación de una seccional y autorizó su funcionamiento. Esto se materializa con su inauguración realizada el 26 de noviembre de 1992. Posteriormente, las labores académicas comenzaron el 2 de febrero de 1993 con sus primeros programas: Ingeniería de Alimentos e Ingeniería Química.

Símbolos

 Sello. Está basado en el que usaba el Colegio Mayor de San Buenaventura durante todo el  y parte del XIX. Tiene forma oval, la figura central es la imagen de San Buenaventura, representado de pie con su hábito y cordón franciscano, cubierto por la capa magna. En la mano izquierda sostiene un libro abierto que puede ser representado como el Evangelio. Al lado derecho de la imagen aparece un círculo semiovalado con cinco gotas de sangre que representan las llagas de San Francisco de Asís. Al lado izquierdo de la imagen aparece el cápelo, sombrero de alas y de color escarlata símbolo de la dignidad cardenalicia.

 Colores. Son el negro para el sello y el naranja para el rectángulo que lo enmarca, dejando una reserva de color blanco al interior del óvalo del sello. Estos se expresan en su bandera, compuesta por dos franjas de iguales dimensiones. La mitad superior en color naranja y la mitad inferior color negro. El primer color significa juventud, vigor, energía. El segundo, sobriedad, austeridad, elegancia.

La Cruz Tau. San Francisco de Asís eligió del alfabeto hebreo, la letra Tau, símbolo de su vida y vocación porque en su forma de cruz, veía el signo de redención. La cruz Tau fue su rúbrica; con la Cruz Tau marcó los lugares que habitaba, con la cruz Tau suscribía sus cartas. Es por esto que los franciscanos al compartir la cruz Tau, proclaman, unidos al fundador, el gozo del mensaje cristiano.
Himno: La letra fue compuesta por Fray Bernardo Molina, OFM, y la música estuvo a cargo de Fray Rubén Darío Vanegas, OFM

Our Triple Delight Cake is a moist, buttery, layered cake, originating from the Dutch Colonial era in Indonesia and is traditionally called Lapis Surabaya. It's name is derived from the city in Java Island.
While it is known throughout Indonesia and the surrounding area as Lapis Surabaya, the people of the city simply call it "Spiku." In Indonesia, this is considered a special occasion dessert, generally serves for holidays, weddings, and birthday celebrations. Many variations have been created, but Euforia Confections is sticking with tradition using our family recipe.
The Triple Delight consists of three layers of cake, vanilla-chocolate-vanilla, with caramel butter between the layers, and is known for it's rich, buttery flavor and light, delicate texture. Only all natural ingredients are used to create our decadent dessert. We also make it gluten-free.


What better way to practice hand embroidery than with a bunch of free sashiko embroidery patterns! It's a Japanese style of hand sewing, all done with a simple running stitch, that can be used as a reinforcement technique or decorative element. There are lots of pre-printed kits with sashiko patterns, which make it great beginner style to try. You can see my own first attempt at sashiko in this post here, as a part of my yearly Try Something New Every Month challenge.
There are lots of starter tutorials and overviews on how to sashiko, and my favorite one was at Sake Puppets. Jo from Dotta shared a sashiko cheat sheet on the imagine gnats blog that gives a nice quick and dirty starting point if you prefer diving in to researching.
You can find all my favorite hand embroidery tools in this post – they're perfect for working on these free sashiko embroidery patterns!
Sara at Radiant Home Studio recently shared a beautiful sashiko style Zsayla top AND a round-up of sashiko tutorials and projects; I made sure not to double-up on any of the links so be sure to click over and find another great list on her blog!
(I also found another embroidered yoke example/tutorial from Blank Slate Patterns, with a free tunic pattern* to go with it).
11. Bonus, sashiko knee patch mending with a link to a tutorial!
If you're a craft book lover like me, you might want to take a peek at these two books. They both had great Amazon reviews and I especially am intrigued to read more about sashiko's history and check out the free patterns in the second book.
Have you tried sashiko? Do you plan to?
Thanks for linking to my posts! This looks like a great list too!
What a great collection of project ideas!
Kimonomono (https://www.etsy.com/shop/kimonomomo) and Stonemountain & Daughter Fabrics (http://www.stonemountainfabric.com/index.htm) have great selections of sashiko supplies as well!
I have 12 of the 'blue' sashiko squares. I used to do them when we traveled in the car. Now I need to put them together. Any ideas? thank you.
Thank you Stephanie. This is very nice. It is the first one I've see. Most of the blocks are shown made into bags or placemats.
I will post a picture when it is finished….after the winter..

April Fool: Your Guide To Holiday Lies
Josh Tyler
Published: Mar. 31. 2008 9:00 PM
It's officially April 1st, the day every year when the world's journalists unite to pretend they're writing for The Onion. It's a fantasy we all, even those of us who are only marginally journalists, share. Celebrating April Fools day, for entertainment reporters anyway, means lying to your readers, and normally otherwise honest and responsible journalists sink their teeth into fibbing with vigor and vim. Those who find they like it too much will eventually give up being responsible reporters and become irresponsible bloggers, for whom today is just a normal Tuesday.
So all day and for the rest of the day, expect the internet to be filled with fake-outs, pranks, and flat out falsehoods. I'll be here maintaining my traditional boycott of all holidays, though you never know when some of the other CB staff might decide to participate in the April Fools merrymaking.
Instead of inventing my own pranks, I'm going to do my best to provide all of you with a public service, and help you sort through the April Fools foolishness being told around the web. Below is a listing of all the April 1st stories which we've confirmed to be April Fools prankery. If you're wondering if that story you just read about Harrison Ford playing Plastic Man is real or not, check here and see if we have it on the naughty list. I'll keep updating this page with pranks as we find them.
April Fooled! A Full List Of Fake Holiday Reporting:
Legend of Zelda movie trailer - IGN put way too much effort into their prank. I have no idea what this video on their site is, but I'm pretty sure there's no Zelda movie. Nice try though.
Iron Man gets staggered release - Screen Rant didn't go in for the wild, splashy, April Fool lies most sites go for. They just monkeyed around with Iron Man's release dates.
Harrison Ford to return as Han Solo! - Our buds over at Moviehole seem to be having more fun with this holiday than anyone else. This is just one of their many April Fools fake stories, so be wary of anything you read over there. It's also the one I most wish was true. But it's not. Sorry Peter Mayhew, put away that Chewie costume.
Christian Bale and Brandon Routh Sign For Justice League! - Even if it wasn't April Fools there's a good chance this story would be fake. We've all been fed so many false JLA stories (no that Hayden one we ran was not an early April Fools joke) that nobody really believes anything about it anymore. Well make it a point not to believe this one. The boys at Cinematical are just messing with you.
Gyllenhaal is Spidey! - In 2005 CB's own Rafe Telsch ran a similar story as his April Fool's joke. That was before Spider-Man 3, and in his gag report he claimed Topher Grace was taking over as the webhead. People seemed to get excited and believe it when Rafe did it, so I suspect JoBlo is soon to be deluged by comments from heartbroken Tobey Maguire fans littering their comments section with homophobic Brokeback Mountain jokes. Sucks to be them.
Jason Biggs Cast as Spider-Man - Another in the ever popular, Spider-Man nightmare casting series. This one from Moviehole's Ramius, where, as I mentioned further up, they're loving the hell out of this holiday. This one's really the most horrifying of the bunch. At least Gyllenhaal might be good. Now I'm stuck with the mental image of Spider-Man humping a pie crust. Thanks for the nightmares Ramius.
Colin Farrell in Once remake - Another one from Moviehole, and another one I'm delighted isn't at all true. Side note, is anyone else starting to get the feeling that Falling Slowly is being over played in the bathrooms of movie theaters? I love the song, but I don't need hear it every time I empty my bladder AMC. Change it up a little bit. Give me some Yanni. I hear he's good for the urinary tract.
Cloverfield Monster in Transformers 2 - Couldn't the Cloverfield monster just step on the Transformers? They aren't that big, I don't think it would be much of a fight. Be glad this one from GFR isn't true, or it'd mean Shia LaBeouf being fitted with a Shaky Cam.
Rogen is Rowlf in new Muppet movie - Hello again Moviehole. This one is actually fairly plausible. After all, Jason Segel is writing the script and the Frat Pack tends to stick together. The character's voice was originally performed by Jim Henson, so it wouldn't be sacrilege to bring someone else in to take over the part either. Heck, Rogen's voice even sort of resembles Rowlf's. The story's a joke, but it's actually not a bad idea.
Michael Bay announces Transformers 2 robots - Apparently Galvatron as a parrot, and his name is Laserbeak. The funny thing here isn't the story, but the fact that a few of The Movie Blog's readers actually seemed uncertain whether the story was an April Fool joke or not. Grimlock is a "military grade hammer"? Come on folks!
X-Files: Full Moon Rising - The gang over at IESB decided to go with a fake X-Files rumor, one concerning the title. I'd have gone with X-Files: Bad Moon Rising guys. Funnier! Only one problem with IESB's story... it's dated March 31st. Isn't that cheating?
Superman vs. Spider-Man movie - Slash Film is another site that's sort of cheating on the whole April Fools thing, by running their gag on March 31st. At least it's an obvious gag. Still, you have to wait till April 1st to do an April Fools joke. Stop with the cheating internet!
There Will Be Farts poster - Rope of Silicon wins the award for most effort put into their prank. They actually went through the trouble to make a fake poster for a fictional upcoming parody movie called Art House Movie: There Will Be Farts.
Sea Monkeys Movie - Comic Book Movie has looked into my deepest darkest fantasies and used the prospect of a Sea Monkeys movie a their gag. Sea Monkeys always get the shaft.
Steven Spielberg Remakes Duel and Jaws - The guys at Bloody Disgusting seem to love April Fools nearly as much as Moviehole. They've got two gags for you, this is the first. For the record, I actually think a remake of Duel could be a good idea.
Tyler Perry makes a Horror movie - The second one from Bloody Disgusting, and it's actually funny, and appropriate in light of recent stories in the trades that Tyler Perry may be looking for a wider audience.
Wolverine Vs. Hulk - Another one from Comic Book Movie, this time claiming Wolverine will have a cameo in Hulk. Well it ain't happening.
Nicholas Brendon is replacement Spider-man - Third fake out from CBM. Yet another fake Spider-Man casting story. I'm really glad we didn't do one this year.
World of Warcraft Molten Core - Hey we have a gaming section on this site too, so here's this... an April Fools joke from the folks at World of Warcraft. It's an advertisement for their new console game, which they say "has sound" and "lush 2D environments". I'm sold!

Law And Order: SVU Is Bringing Yet Another Franchise Vet Back In Season 22 television
WandaVision Introduces A Major Marvel Organization, And It's A Game Changer television


Imagine a supermarket shopping experience where you don't have to push your cart through the meat and seafood section. Doesn't that sound like the dream shopping trip?
In terms of vegetarian and vegan grocers, cities in Asia is a bit behind the times when placed alongside other international cities. Paris, Berlin, Los Angeles, and New York are swamped by 100% vegan and vegetarian businesses while Asian cities, such as Hong Kong are just starting to make headway. Finding decent vegetarian or vegan fare in Hong Kong isn't too difficult, but stores with a decent selection of plant-based products.
The struggle to have our own completely meat-free shopping trip just experienced a massive jump forward with the opening of Green Common. This eco-friendly and health-centric venture is much-overdue for Asia.
Green Common is a new vegetarian concept store by Green Monday, a non-profit organization that promotes a greener lifestyle and enables green, healthy and sustainable living. Green Common currently has two locations, one in Wan Chai and one in Central. At the Central branch, you will find a vegetarian bistro Ovo Café, and a cruelty-free cooking studio Kind Kitchen, all with the ultimate goal of making green living a natural way of life.
The Shopping Experience – It's a Vegan Wonderland!
Walking through Green Common felt like I was a kid in a candy store. The store is filled with snacks, sweets, all kinds of nut butter, superfoods (chia seed, açai powder, kale powder and the like), vegan cheese, vegan meat (Gardein, Beyond Meat, and Feild Roast), fresh produce, and vegan ice cream.
While Green Common calls itself as a vegetarian grocer, I found that the majority of the products aren't just veggie friendly, they are vegan! Green Common does not seem to stock dairy products. In fact, the only non-vegan products that were found were honey and some milk chocolate.
The products found in here are mostly imported from all over the world and are displayed and categorized appropriately. Each item is labeled clearly with icons that inform the customer whether the item is organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan, raw, fair-trade, Buddhist friendly and locally made. Also, to offer a holistic solution to green living, they also sell personal care and household items that are plant-based, natural, organic and sustainable for the environment.
As much I wanted to buy everything in the store and bring it home to Taiwan, we had to be responsible adults and buy what we need or are deprived of the most. So, we headed towards the chilled and frozen section and started looking for vegan cheese and vegan meat alternatives.
Green Common carries a large variety of vegan meat alternatives. Aside from the usual Asian vegan faux meat, they also carry western meat alternatives, which are a rare find if you live in Asia.Their freezers are full with Beyond Meat chicken strips and meatballs, Gardein chicken fingers and pocket meals!
Pretty soon, we had our baskets filled with a couple of bags of Follow Your Heart Mozzarella Cheese, Miyoko's Cultured Cheese, Gardein, and Beyond Meat products. Our total damage was about HK$1,000, and it was worth every penny.
After spending more time looking around Green Common, I became less distracted with the food and become more aware of the modern, brightly-lit space and green messages that are exhibited everywhere within the shop.
Suddenly, shopping at Green Common feels like a fun educational experience, from enlightening quotes and stories behind different foods, every detail seeks to inspire a more holistic mindset towards sustainable eating and living.
Green Monday's mission is to make sustainable eating a norm. Through Green Common, it hopes to provide people with more options and convenience to achieve a sustainable lifestyle for the body and the environment. To reinforce the learning experience, Green Common has a studio space that is utilized for public education, particularly for plant-based cooking. Cooks are invited to The Kind Kitchen to host a cooking class or workshop regularly.
After you've shopped for your healthy goodies, don't forget to stop by Ovo Cafe next door for a healthy feed. Ovo Café operates with the same philosophy as the health store Green Common next door; a passion for sharing a green life with a dedication to healthiness and an eco-lifestyle.
Ovo Café is exquisitely designed, the interior is decorated with all sorts of flowers, potted succulents and a feature wall of plates with hand-written messages from internationally renowned celebrities such as Faye Wong and others who are supporters of the cause.
They serve fresh, tasty vegetarian cuisine at all times of the day, from soups and salads to vegan meat alternatives. Even though Ovo Café is a vegetarian cafe, they have quite a few vegan options. The menu appropriately marked with icons indicating which ones are vegan or can be veganized.
The menu is chock full of exciting offerings like vegan crab cakes and mains that incorporate Beyond Meat products. Beyond Meat is dubbed as "the future of protein". It is a vegan meat alternative that carries the same amount of protein and nutrition value as real meat. I have had the product before and it is scarily convincing. The texture, the bite and the taste is very similar to the real deal. Once you've tried it, you will know what I mean. Aside from the salads, the menu has about four vegan mains.
We tried two out of four vegan mains, the first was called Spice Entice which was a paratha with Beyond Meat beef mince filling seasoned with Indian curry. This was really delicious, the paratha was very flaky and crispy. The filling was flavorful, the mince is served with other vegetables like chickpeas and potatoes.
The second dish we tried was Slim Power. At first, this dish did not appeal to me because it sounds too healthy, but we ordered this based on the waitresses recommendation. It is konjac noodles tossed in tomato sauce served with spinach and monkey head mushroom (lion's mane mushroom). Konjac noodles are thin, translucent and possess a gelatinous texture. They are Japanese in origin and most often eaten in hot pots.
Konjac noodles are healthy because of their low-calorie content, a single 200g portion of these noodles — enough to replace a small portion of rice, pasta or bread contains just eight calories. I have had konjac noodles before, but never had it with pasta sauce. It was weird but refreshing east meets west fusion.
We couldn't finish up the meal with a dessert, as Ovo Café do not have vegan dessert options. Of course, this left me feeling a bit disappointed. Instead of going home feeling like a sad sack, we headed over to Green Common and picked up some vegan ice cream!
Overall, Ovo Café is a place to go when your body is craving a healthy, wholesome and guiltless food. It ticks all the right boxes for a chill evening out except for the lack of vegan dessert.
Green Common and Ovo Café's passion for a sustainable living is surely taking Hong Kong by storm. Green Common is well worth any visit to Hong Kong, or two, or three, or like me just as many times as you can fit into your time there. As for Ovo Café, I'm not crazy over it, as there are better places for vegans to eat, but if you have not tried Beyond Meat and are keen on giving it a go, definitely dine in Ovo Café.

SPECIAL recycling bins where people can dispose of used batteries have been installed in Jawad outlets across the country.
24 Hours Market in Sakhir and at Tala, Amwaj Islands.
"It is a relief to be able to simply drop off their batteries in the specially marked recycling bins and walk away knowing they will be recycled in an environmentally responsible way," said Jawad Business Group assistant group general manager Kareem Jawad.
I actually have aquired a green charger for (non) chargable batteries many years ago which I use to charge batteries to avoid putting them in the bag for disposing off abroad where they do have recycling schemes of batteries. Great not to have to take them with me now.
I have contacted Kareem Jawad and hopefully get and indept answer on what is going to happen with those batteries once they are collected.

Biographie

Du MLN-T au gouvernement Vázquez
Ana Olivera milite dans sa jeunesse au Mouvement de libération nationale - Tupamaros (MLN-T), avant de s'exiler à Cuba puis en France après le coup d'État de juin 1973. Elle quitte cependant les Tupamaros en France, pour rejoindre le Parti communiste d'Uruguay (PCU), revenant au pays lors de la transition démocratique des années 1980, devenant professeur de lettres dans l'enseignement secondaire.

There are no permanent streams in this park, therefore, fresh water is very difficult to come across. Bring all water that you require. Any surface water must be well boiled, filtered or treated prior to consumption.
Lanz and Cox Islands were set aside as a provincial park to protect an unspoiled coastal wilderness environment. Together with the outer three islands of the Scott Islands chain (Beresford, Sartine and Triangle Islands) they protect some of the most important seabird nesting colonies in the world.
Due to the extreme weather conditions and sea states that these islands can experience at any time of the year, this park receives very few visitors. The rugged, rocky coastline of these islands provides poor access for boaters and the steep slopes of the islands makes travel onshore near impossible.
The only access to Lanz and Cox Islands Provincial Park is by boat. Only extremely experienced boaters should consider visiting these islands, as they experience open Pacific Ocean weather conditions. Boaters can reference marine chart #3625 (Scott Islands) for more information on this area.
History: Lanz and Cox Islands were established as a Protected Area on July 12, 1995 as a result of the Vancouver Island Land Use Plan.
Cultural Heritage: The Scott Island chain lies in the traditional territory of the Yutlinuk First Nation. These people died out in the early 1800s for a number of reasons, including the introduction of European diseases. Few signs of their existence remain today.
Conservation: Lanz and Cox Islands have extremely high conservation values as they provide critical habitat for a number of seabirds, such as Rhinoceros Auklets, Cassin's Auklets and Tufted Puffins, as well as several species of cormorant and petrel. These islands also contain numerous Bald eagle nests. In recent years there has been a reestablishment of a sea otter population in the kelp beds surrounding this area.
Approved Purpose Statement and Zoning Plan [PDF] for Lanz and Cox Island Provincial Park is available online in pdf format.
Anyone wishing to kayak in this area must be experienced due to the extreme weather and sea conditions.
Though this area has been traditionally utilized by commercial fishers, the extreme weather and sea conditions make it unsuitable for recreational fishers. All anglers should check the current regulations issued by Fisheries and Oceans Canada prior to fishing. Anyone fishing or angling in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence.
The difficult access to these parks limits wildlife viewing opportunities however boaters could expect to see a number of marine mammals and a variety of seabirds.

Ken Burns' Dust Bowl: How the 'Dirty Thirties' Changed Policy in Oklahoma

Joe Wertz is a senior reporter and managing editor at StateImpact Oklahoma. He reports regularly on energy and environment issues for national NPR audiences and other national outlets, and serves as president-elect of Freedom of Information Oklahoma, an open records and government transparency nonprofit. Previously, he worked as a managing editor, assistant editor and staff reporter at several major Oklahoma newspapers. He lives in Oklahoma City, and studied journalism at the University of Central Oklahoma.

Ken Burns' new documentary on the Dust Bowl premieres Sunday, and Oklahoma is the backdrop for much of the two-part, four-hour television epic.
But while the ecological and economic devastation had a profound effect on Oklahoma's landscape and cultural history, the Dust Bowl's everyday legacy might be the way it shaped state policy.
A New Form of State Government
One of the most sweeping post-Dust Bowl policy changes in Oklahoma was the Conservation District Enabling Act, which was enacted in April 1937. The state measure was modeled on legislation passed down from the federal government and created the state Conservation Commission, which oversees 88 conservation districts.
The districts were — and remain — independent subdivisions of state government, and each is overseen by a five-member board of directors. The charge of the commission and the districts is to help farmers, ranchers and land managers make better use of Oklahoma's natural resources.
Much of the focus concerns soil and water issues. The districts organize education and training programs and provide financial assistance for programs that improve soil conservation and water quality.

The state chips in some money for projects, but the bulk of the funding is federal and comes from the Natural Resources Conservation Service, a U.S. Department of Agriculture agency that evolved out of Dust Bowl-era soil erosion and conservation services.
While most of the funding comes from the federal government, the money pays for "locally led" conservation efforts, says Tom M. Lucas of the USDA-NRCS in Oklahoma. For example, a district might decide that "no-till" farming methods are key to soil conservation in Oklahoma's panhandle. The commission and district help train farmers and ranchers on the new technique, wherein residual crop stubble is maintained to help prevent erosion and improve soil quality and water retention. Some farmers and ranchers are also eligible for direct payments from the government if they convert fields to no-till and meet certain benchmarks.
Districts in other parts of the state might spend money on red cedar eradication, an effort to reduce a fuel rapidly consumed by devastating wildfires.

The Dust Bowl's most visible legacy was fueled by erosion and soil degradation, the result of over-cultivation and bad land management. From the devastation came organized education, and a determination to change how Oklahomans used the land itself.
"It would be accurate to say that all soil conservation programs were started as a result of the Dust Bowl," says Jason Warren, a soil and water conservation specialist and assistant professor at Oklahoma State University.
Soil conservation practices have evolved significantly since the 1930s, says Clay Pope, executive director of the Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts. Much of the focus now is on converting marginal cropland back to grassland, and in encouraging the use of no-till or strip-till farming. The commission and districts can give farmers and ranchers financial assistance for equipment and programs that improve water quality and reduce the amount of soil disturbance — a key contributor to Dust Bowl dustiness.
"It's work that's never done," Pope says. "We're constantly learning."
And Oklahomans have learned, Warren says. Drought played a major role in the "Dirty Thirties," a term for the era coined for clouds of dust, but the state experienced more extreme drought conditions in the 1950s. And the drought currently gripping much of the nation — especially Oklahoma and Texas — is even more intense, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
"But the dust did not return because of the practices implemented to control erosion," Warren says.
The state still has a long way to go, Pope says. Oklahoma is "20 years behind" other states when it comes to adoption of no-till farming techniques, he says. And reminders of the Dust Bowl days still crop up in modern day Oklahoma.
In mid-October, an immense dust storm blacked-out the sky over portions of northern Oklahoma, causing traffic accidents and forcing authorities to close Interstate 35 near Blackwell. The Blackwell blackout — and a similar storm that charged through Lubbock, Texas in October 2011 — are the direct result of soil erosion in drought conditions, Pope says.
"If you turn your back on this monster," he says, "it can still reach a claw out from the cage we've got it in and grab you."
