CHAPTER XI.
No opportunity has occurred of informing the reader that, during the last week or two, Charles had accidentally been a good deal thrown across Willis, the _umbra_ of White at Bateman's breakfast-party. He had liked his looks on that occasion, when he was dumb; he did not like him so much when he heard him talk; still he could not help being interested in him, and not the least for this reason, that Willis seemed to have taken a great fancy to himself. He certainly did court Charles, and seemed anxious to stand well with him. Charles, however, did not like his mode of talking better than he did White's; and when he first saw his rooms, there was much in them which shocked both his good sense and his religious principles. A large ivory crucifix, in a glass case, was a conspicuous ornament between the windows; an engraving, representing the Blessed Trinity, as is usual in Catholic countries, hung over the fireplace, and a picture of the Madonna and St. Dominic was opposite to it. On the mantelpiece were a rosary, a thuribulum, and other tokens of Catholicism, of which Charles did not know the uses; a missal, ritual, and some Catholic tracts, lay on the table; and, as he happened to come on Willis unexpectedly, he found him sitting in a vestment more like a cassock than a reading-gown, and engaged upon some portion of the Breviary. Virgil and Sophocles, Herodotus and Cicero seemed, as impure pagans, to have hid themselves in corners, or flitted away, before the awful presence of the Ancient Church. Charles had taken upon himself to protest against some of these singularities, but without success.
On the evening before his departure for the country he had occasion to go towards Folly Bridge to pay a bill, when he was startled, as he passed what he had ever taken for a dissenting chapel, to see Willis come out of it. He hardly could believe he saw correctly; he knew, indeed, that Willis had been detained in Oxford, as he had been himself; but what had compelled him to a visit so extraordinary as that which he had just made, Charles had no means of determining.
"Willis!" he cried, as he stopped.
Willis coloured, and tried to look easy.
"Do come a few paces with me," said Charles. "What in the world has taken you there? Is it not a dissenting meeting?"
"Dissenting meeting!" cried Willis, surprised and offended in his turn: "what on earth could make you think I would go to a dissenting meeting?"
"Well, I beg your pardon," said Charles; "I recollect now: it's the exhibition room. However, _once_ it _was_ a chapel: that's my mistake. Isn't it what is called 'the Old Methodist Chapel?' I never was there; they showed there the _Dio-astro-doxon_, so I think they called it." Charles talked on, to cover his own mistake, for he was ashamed of the charge he had made.
Willis did not know whether he was in jest or earnest. "Reding," he said, "don't go on; you offend me."
"Well, what is it?" said Charles.
"You know well enough," answered Willis, "though you wish to annoy me."
"I don't indeed."
"It's the Catholic church," said Willis.
Reding was silent a moment; then he said, "Well, I don't think you have mended the matter; it _is_ a dissenting meeting, call it what you will, though not the kind of one I meant."
"What can you mean?" asked Willis.
"Rather, what mean _you_ by going to such places?" retorted Charles; "why, it is against your oath."
"My oath! what oath?"
"There's not an oath now; but there was an oath till lately," said Reding; "and we still make a very solemn engagement. Don't you recollect your matriculation at the Vice-Chancellor's, and what oaths and declarations you made?"
"I don't know what I made: my tutor told me nothing about it. I signed a book or two."
"You did more," said Reding. "I was told most carefully. You solemnly engaged to keep the statutes; and one statute is, not to go into any dissenting chapel or meeting whatever."
"Catholics are not Dissenters," said Willis.
"Oh, don't speak so," said Charles; "you know it's meant to include them. The statute wishes us to keep from all places of worship whatever but our own."
"But it is an illegal declaration or vow," said Willis, "and so not binding."
"Where did you find that get-off?" said Charles; "the priest put that into your head."
"I don't know the priest; I never spoke a word to him," answered Willis.
"Well, any how, it's not your own answer," said Reding; "and does not help you. I am no casuist; but if it is an illegal engagement you should not continue to enjoy the benefit of it."
"What benefit?"
"Your cap and gown; a university education; the chance of a scholarship or fellowship. Give up these, and then plead, if you will, and lawfully, that you are quit of your engagement; but don't sail under false colours: don't take the benefit and break the stipulation."
"You take it too seriously; there are half a hundred statutes _you_ don't keep, any more than I. You are most inconsistent."
"Well, if we don't keep them," said Charles, "I suppose it is in points where the authorities don't enforce them; for instance, they don't mean us to dress in brown, though the statutes order it."
"But they _do_ mean to keep you from walking down High Street in beaver," answered Willis; "for the Proctors march up and down, and send you back, if they catch you."
"But _this_ is a different matter," said Reding, changing his ground; "this is a matter of religion. It can't be right to go to strange places of worship or meetings."
"Why," said Willis, "if we are one Church with the Roman Catholics, I can't make out for the life of me how it's wrong for us to go to them or them to us."
"I'm no divine, I don't understand what is meant by one Church," said Charles; "but I know well that there's not a bishop, not a clergyman, not a sober churchman in the land but would give it against you. It's a sheer absurdity."
"Don't talk in that way," answered Willis, "please don't. I feel all my heart drawn to the Catholic worship; our own service is so cold."
"That's just what every stiff Dissenter says," answered Charles; "every poor cottager, too, who knows no better, and goes after the Methodists--after her dear Mr. Spoutaway or the preaching cobbler. _She_ says (I have heard them), 'Oh, sir, I suppose we ought to go where we get most good. Mr. So-and-so goes to my heart--he goes through me.'"
Willis laughed; "Well, not a bad reason, as times go, _I_ think," said he: "poor souls, what better means of judging have they? how can you hope they will like 'the Scripture moveth us'? Really you are making too much of it. This is only the second time I have been there, and, I tell you in earnest, I find my mind filled with awe and devotion there; as I think you would too. I really am better for it; I cannot pray in church; there's a bad smell there, and the pews hide everything; I can't see through a deal board. But here, when I went in, I found all still, and calm, the space open, and, in the twilight, the Tabernacle just visible, pointed out by the lamp."
Charles looked very uncomfortable. "Really, Willis," he said, "I don't know what to say to you. Heaven forbid that I should speak against the Roman Catholics; I know nothing about them. But _this_ I know, that you are not a Roman Catholic, and have no business there. If they have such sacred things among them as those you allude to, still these are not yours; you are an intruder. I know nothing about it; I don't like to give a judgment, I am sure. But it's a tampering with sacred things; running here and there, touching and tasting, taking up, putting down. I don't like it," he added, with vehemence; "it's taking liberties with God."
"Oh, my dear Reding, please don't speak so very severely," said poor Willis; "now what have I done more than you would do yourself, were you in France or Italy? Do you mean to say you wouldn't enter the churches abroad?"
"I will only decide about what is before me," answered Reding; "when I go abroad, then will be the time to think about your question. It is quite enough to know what we ought to do at the moment, and I am clear you have been doing wrong. How did you find your way there?"
"White took me."
"Then there is one man in the world more thoughtless than you: do many of the gownsmen go there?"
"Not that I know of; one or two have gone from curiosity; there is no practice of going, at least this is what I am told."
"Well," said Charles, "you must promise me you will not go again. Come, we won't part till you do."
"That is too much," said Willis, gently; then, disengaging his arm from Reding's, he suddenly darted away from him, saying, "Good-bye, good-bye; to our next merry meeting--_au revoir_."
There was no help for it. Charles walked slowly home, saying to himself: "What if, after all, the Roman Catholic Church is the true Church? I wish I knew what to believe; no one will tell me what to believe; I am so left to myself." Then he thought: "I suppose I know quite enough for practice--more than I _do_ practise; and I ought surely to be contented and thankful."

A New Generation of Corporate Codes of Ethics
Cynthia Stohl, Michael Stohl & Lucy Popova
Journal of Business Ethics 90 (4):607-622 (2009)
Globalization theories posit organizational convergence, suggesting that Codes of Ethics will become commonplace and include greater consideration of global issues. This study explores the degree to which the Codes of Ethics of 157 corporations on the Global 500 and/or Fortune 500 lists include the "third generation" of corporate social responsibility. Unlike first generation ethics, which focus on the legal context of corporate behavior, and second generation ethics, which locate responsibility to groups directly associated with the corporation, third generation ethics transcend both the profit motive and the immediate corporate environment. Third generation ethics are grounded in responsibilities to the larger interconnected environment. The results of the study suggest convergence, insofar as Codes of Ethics are becoming standard communication features of corporations across region and industrial sector but still manifest a primary concern with profits and those behaviors which are mandated by law. Only corporations headquartered in the European Union demonstrate a significant degree of global consciousness and reflexivity. However, there is some evidence that third generation ethics and thinking are becoming part of the corporate landscape. More then three quarters of the corporations made at least some reference to third generation ethics

Home/Iran/Ahmadinejad Denounces US Missile Defense Shield
Ahmadinejad Denounces US Missile Defense Shield
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said a proposed US missile defense shield in central Europe would threaten "all Asia". "Such a plan goes beyond threatening one country. It concerns most of the continent, all Asia," he said at a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).
Ahmadinejad spoke at the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which includes Russia, China and four ex-Soviet Central Asian countries. Iran has observer status in the SCO.
Russia has vehemently objected to US plans to place elements of a missile-defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic, saying the system could be used against Russia and would wreck the strategic balance of forces in Europe.
The United States says the system is intended to head off the threat of possible missile attacks by rogue countries, including Iran.
Russian President Vladimir Putin in turn told the summit that "any attempts to solve global and regional problems unilaterally are hopeless," and called for "strengthening a multi-polar international system that would ensure equal security and opportunities for all countries."
He did not mention the United States by name, but the comments echoed Russia's frequent complaints that the United States dominates world affairs.
The phrase "multi-polar" is often used by Russia to push for efforts to counter the United States' power.
The SCO summit in the capital of Kyrgyzstan was being watched closely by Washington. The United States maintains an air base near the capital, and the SCO previously has called for a timetable to be set for withdrawing American military elements from member countries.
The SCO emerged 11 years ago to address extremism and border security issues in Central Asia.
China and Russia have been pushing for strengthening the group since the US military set up air bases in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan after the September 11 attacks to support the anti-terror campaign in nearby Afghanistan. Uzbekistan evicted its US base in 2005.
In recent years, with Iran, India, Pakistan and Mongolia signing on as observers, the group has been emerging as potentially a broader and more powerful bloc aimed at resisting US domination in world affairs.
Ahmadinejad is attending the annual summit for the second consecutive year.
The SCO has welcomed Ahmadinejad, accepting Iran as a full member may be on the table in the near future.
The organization, whose members are some of the world's biggest energy producers and consumers, also has begun to embrace economic cooperation.
At the summit, the leaders plan to discuss the creation of an SCO Energy Club, a Kremlin official says.
A further sign of the group's intention to influence energy markets is the participation in the Bishkek summit of Turkmen President Gurbanguli Berdymukhamedov, whose country is the second-largest producer of gas in the former Soviet Union after Russia. Turkmenistan is not a SCO member; the president is attending as a guest.
Ahmadinejad stopped in Turkmenistan on his way to Bishkek to meet with Berdymukhamedov.
For Washington, a more immediate worry is the fate of its military base in Bishkek.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Denisov said the organization's opposition to a prolonged US military presence in Central Asia had not changed, according to an interview in the Vremya Novostei newspaper.
US Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher said during a visit to Bishkek in June that the US air base there was a bilateral issue and "not an issue for discussion between the Shanghai Cooperation Organization."
Kyrgyz Foreign Minister Ednan Karabayev has signaled in the run-up to the summit that his country is not seeking closure of the US base, saying that it is important for the reconstruction of Afghanistan.
Russia also maintains a military base in Kyrgyzstan.

Former NYC Mayor Bloomberg, California Team up to Launch Satellites Tracking Climate Pollutants
Posted 9:46 AM, September 25, 2019, by Associated Press, Updated at 07:58PM, September 25, 2019
In this file photo from NASA, a GOES-O satellite is seen at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on Sept. 6, 2007.
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is teaming up with California to use satellites to track climate pollutants.
Bloomberg Philanthropies announced its partnership with the state and the San Francisco Earth-imaging company Planet on Wednesday. It builds on former California Gov. Jerry Brown's declaration last year the state would launch its "own damn satellite" as the federal government receded from global climate commitments.
Bloomberg's involvement puts the effort on a larger scale and helps Planet and the California Air Resources Board expand what it will track. Antha Williams, the philanthropies' head of environment programs, declined to say how much Bloomberg plans to spend on the initiative.
"We really see the potential in the kind of imaging that Planet can bring combined with California's appetite to actually then use that info," Williams said. "That really provides a model for what certainly other states across the U.S. could be doing but (also) other jurisdictions around the world."
California is still two to three years away from launching its satellite, said spokesman Stanley Young of the air board. Planet already operates the most Earth-observing satellites in orbit.
The partnership with Bloomberg expands California's initial vision, which only included the tracking of methane, a highly potent greenhouse gas known as a "super pollutant." It's emitted from industrial dairies, landfills and oil and gas drilling exploration.
The satellite's high-resolution imaging will make it easier to pinpoint large emissions if, for example, an oil well or storage site begins leaking.
"There is nothing in the sky at this time that can track that," Young said.
Under Newsom's direction, the air board has expanded the project to include tracking forest health and risk from wildfire. Bloomberg also wants to track and analyze coal-fired plant operation beyond California. The philanthropy already funds the Sierra Club's "Beyond Coal" campaign that aims to end its use in the United States.
For California, the project is essential to help the state meet its ambitious climate goals. Brown signed an executive order for the state to reach "carbon neutrality" by 2045, meaning it takes as much carbon out of the air as it emits. The state has also committed to drastically reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.
Bloomberg, meanwhile, sees an opportunity to gather better data to inform national and global policy making and advocacy campaigns, Williams said.
The philanthropy wants "to expand on the model of what California is proving in terms of the ability to use satellites for climate action," Williams said.

Модибо́ Майга́ (; 3 сентября 1987, Бамако, Мали) — малийский футболист, нападающий. Выступал за национальную сборную Мали.

Карьера

Клубная
Модибо Майга начал карьеру профессионального футболиста в клубе «Стад Мальен» из Бамако. В июле 2004 года он перешёл в марокканскую команду «Раджа Касабланка», в составе которой стал обладателем Кубка страны. Сезон 2006/07 нападающий провёл в дубле «Ле Мана», выступавшем в то время в группе С Любительского чемпионата Франции.

Год спустя Майга стал игроком основной команды «Ле Мана», за которую провёл 3 сезона. Дебютировал за «Ле Ман» 25 августа 2007 года в проигранном со счетом 1:3 выездном матче чемпионата против «Монако», заменив на 74-й минуте Стефана Сессеньона. Первый гол в чемпионатах Франции Модибо забил 16 августа 2008 года на 33-й минуте гостевой игры с «Лиллем». Позже в ходе того матча малиец сумел отличиться ещё раз и, тем самым, помог своей команде одержать победу со счётом 3:1.

Летом 2010 года нападающий перешёл в «Сошо». В чемпионате Франции 2010/11 забил 15 мячей, оказавшись в десятке лучших бомбардиров первенства.

Own Your Own Identity With Universal Two-Factor Authentication
The Universal Two-Factor (U2F) authentication standard backed by the FIDO Alliance promises user authentication that just can't be cracked or duplicated by a hacker. Could it spell the end of password-based authentication?
By Neil J. Rubenking
https://www.pcmag.com/news/own-your-own-identity-with-universal-two-factor-authentication
Who are you? As far as most secure websites are concerned, you are your email account. Forgot your password? No problem—we'll send a reset code by email! If your email account falls into the wrong hands, you're screwed good and proper. Hackers who crack your PayPal account get access to just that account; hackers who crack your email account get everything.
That's where two-factor authentication comes in. Just about every email provider offers some type of authentication beyond simple-minded username and password. Some will send a text to your smartphone. Others let you link the account to an app like Google Authenticator or Twilio Authy. Without much fanfare, Google has slipped in another option for protecting your Gmail account—the security key. Now you can unlock your email with a key, just the way you unlock your car, or your front door. And if the backers of this new-style authentication have their way, that key will soon unlock many more sites and applications.
Fast Identity Online
Each security key implements a standard called U2F, for "Universal Two-Factor." This open standard was published by the FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance, of which Google is a prominent member. Yubico, purveyor of the Yubikey authentication device, is another prominent member, and in fact most of the design of the Security Key comes from Yubico. However, the standard is wide open and the code is available, so a number of other vendors already sell their own model of the security key.
The original Yubikey worked by sending a one-time password to supporting applications like LastPass. You can still use the updated Yubikey for that purpose, but in order to implement FIDO U2F it now contains a built-in smart card that interacts with supporting applications. Both old and new device types are extremely durable; I've had a Yubikey rattling around in my pocket with my keys since 2009.
As for the alliance itself, its membership list reads like a who's who of finance and security. Among the board level members are Google and Yubico, of course, but you'll also find Samsung, Bank of America, Microsoft, Mastercard, and Visa. The more numerous sponsor-level members include Costco, Dell, Ing, Netflix, and Wells Fargo. This is a heavyweight alliance!
Using a Security Key with Gmail
You can buy a FIDO U2F Security Key from Yubico for $18, or scan the Web for deals from other manufacturers. I've seen them for as little as $5. Before you can register your security key, you must set up traditional two-factor authentication, either using Google Authenticator or having Gmail send an authentication code to your smartphone when you try to log in. Once you've completed this configuration, you'll find a tab labeled Security Key. Do note that only Chrome is supported at present, so if you log in with a different browser you'll have to use the smartphone-based authentication.
Registering a security key is simple. Click Register to ready the system, insert your security key, and touch the gold button on the key. Done! You can register multiple keys on the chance you might lose one. Just don't keep them all in the same place!
When nothing but a password protects your email, anybody who learns that password can open your account. With security key protection, nothing will unlock your account except the handshake between the security key's smartcard and the secure application. Remote access just isn't possible, as initiating that handshake requires that you touch the key's button.
The Future of U2F
At the recent RSA Conference in San Francisco, I caught up with Stina Ehrensvärd, CEO and Founder of Yubico and unabashed evangelist for U2F. Indeed, she sees U2F as the key to the not just the Internet, but to the future.
Why You Need To Protect Your Email Address
"I'm excited about U2F because my vision is that this will be everywhere," said Ehrensvärd. "Eventually it can scale to encryption, payments, it can allow users to take control of their own identity. You don't get your identity from the bank, or the government; you buy your key and it's your own ID." Ehrensvärd pointed out that U2F can take multiple forms, not just like a USB key. It can be in phones, or computers, for example. She mentioned that two combined biometric-U2F devices are already out. Going forward, Yubico plans to add U2F capability to its Bluetooth and NFC-based devices.
"Authentication with a security key lets you be secure, yet anonymous," continued Ehrensvärd. "You can eliminate the username and password, so dissidents and those doing human rights work can communicate without revealing their actual identity." She pictures people carrying at least three keys, one for work, one for your personal identity, and one for authenticating anonymously.
Why give away the technology? "In Sweden, Volvo decided that we need a three point seat belt," said Ehrensvärd. "The guy who developed it said, let's make this open, and saved millions of lives. We want to drive an open standard. I prefer five percent of a big market to all of a tiny one."
Using a security key to lock up email is something any of us can do, but there's a lot more to U2F. "All the leading cloud companies use it for authentication internally," she said. "We have nine of the top ten cloud companies. We get in through the geeks; they see the value." In the end, though, it's more than technology for Ehrensvärd. "Secure online identity is a basic human right," she said. "We want it to be affordable and easy for everyone."

GyPSy Guide GPS driving tour of Rocky Mountain National Park is an excellent way to enjoy a sightseeing trip to explore by driving yourself. There are 135+ audio points that play automatically, featuring what to see, stories, tips and advice. All the benefits of a guided tour, the freedom to drive yourself. TOUR GUIDE AS YOU DRIVE AROUND ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK If you like driving yourself when you go sightseeing, GyPSy Guide™ tour apps allow you to enjoy a guided tour experience while remaining totally independent. By driving yourself, you'll be able to get from place to place faster, see more things and not be tied to anyone else's schedule. DON'T MISS OUT ON THE BEST SIGHTS AND STORIES The tour apps use your device's location abilities to play the commentary AUTOMATICALLY. All you have to do is drive, listen and decide which places you want to stop at. Our tour guides have created an insightful and entertaining tour of Rocky Mountain National Park. We'll recommend the best places to experience and some great locations that most visitors will drive by. PLAYS AUTOMATICALLY GyPSy Guide knows where you are and which direction you are heading, and plays commentary automatically about the things you are seeing, plus stories and tips and advice. EXPLORE LIKE A LOCAL It's just like having a local friend to show you around. And that friend just happens to be a professional tour guide. GREAT VALUE The same information you would get on a bus tour or from a guide book, for just a fraction of the price. And you control the itinerary and schedule. WORKS OFFLINE No data, cellular or even wireless network connection needed while touring. Anyone can use them with no need for roaming data – even visiting from another country. DRIVING TOUR ROUTE Start the tour from either Estes Park or Grand lake. The tour includes the most popular sightseeing and much more: 1) Trail Ridge Road 2) Old Fall River Road 3) Alpine Visitor Center 4) Bear Lake 5) Horseshoe Park 6) Rock Cut 7) Gore Range Overlook The tour is designed that you can drive it one way from either side or you can drive from one entrance to another and then back. The commentary provides all the major highlights each way, but different stories depending on which way you go. NOTES Because the app is filled with audio commentary and maps, its larger than "normal" apps. If you have a limited data plan, its recommended to download over a WiFi network. ++ Continued use of GPS running in the background increases battery usage - we strongly recommend taking a cigarette style (DC outlet) car charger. This is much better than simply plugging into the USB port in a vehicle. ** iPad users - please note that WiFi-only iPads will not activate the commentary automatically. Any iPhone or network-capable iPad (WiFi + Cellular - whether you have a network connection or not) will work just fine. ABOUT US GyPSy Guide™ produce award winning audio tours along scenic drives around the world. Enjoyed by travelers who prefer to set their own pace and itinerary on vacation, but enjoy a fun, informative and educational guided experience. Our goal is to provide a great introduction to the region and perhaps inspire you to learn more and return. None of our apps include paid advertising or placements for benefit.
We named our guide "Kevin" and he is our new best friend!!!! Learned so much about RMNP and will use Kevin on all our trips!!! You NEED this app!!
We love these GyPSy Guide apps! We just used it for Rocky Mountain NP and loved it! It's worth every penny it costs. We learned so much about the park that we never would of heard of without it. It's a must have for visiting National Parks all over. Hopefully they are making more of the parks they don't have yet. Love love love these!
This is the second time I have used one of the gypsy guides. Two years ago I did the Canadian Rockies package and loved them. Recommended them to friends who went last year, and they agreed. So happy there was one for my first visit to Rocky Mountain National Park. It has been such a nice addition to all of the drives.
It had been a long time since we visited RMNP & it was the first trip there for our 8 year old grandson. We all enjoyed this audio tour! Great advice for detours & fun stories as well.
Did the drive in Rocky Mountain NP. So informative.
I'm so glad I found out about this app before my time in RMNP. Now I want one to lead me through the rest of my trip through CO.
The perfect guide for our first trip to Rocky Mountain National Park! It was like having a private guide in our car! Great info, history, information on which places were "must see"! We will definitely use again!
This app was awesome. So worth the price. This is a must have app for people who are new to this experience!
My husband and I visited RMNP for the first time last week. It was rather frustrating to lose all cell service upon entering the park and we felt "lost". We decided to purchase this app before we drove the Alpine Ridge Trail hoping it might give us some guidance. We were wowed! It was as if we had a tour guide with us throughout the drive. I loved all the information it provided about RMNP, the side stops and the animals that we might see during the drive. This app is well worth the money.


When Minnkota network specialists Sarah Lundeby and Casey Hancock started making travel plans for the HiPoCon Technology Show and Conference in Fargo, they decided to go all in on the technology theme of the day. They booked the Bolt for the 80-mile drive to Scheels Arena, excited to experience a long-range trip with the EV for the first time.
The IT duo left Grand Forks with an expected range of 181 miles – not a lot of wiggle room for the 160-mile round trip, but enough. Sarah had perfect weather for her portion of the drive, and she set the cruise to the highway speed of 75 mph. They arrived on time and in style, confident that the remaining 100 miles of range would get them back to Grand Forks without an issue.
"We did tell a handful of conference attendees that we took the car down," Sarah said, adding that she fielded several questions about it. She also noted that her favorite part of having the car was the loud and proud design of the car wrap. "I'm representing Minnkota when out and about!"
After a day of mingling with other technology professionals and learning about the latest innovative developments in IT, it was Casey's turn to take the wheel for the drive home. His leg of the trip wasn't so easy.
On the drive north, a harsh headwind and heavy rain pummeled the car, and the battery's energy started dipping quickly. Casey lowered his speed to just above 60 mph and used any opportunity to follow the draft of semis on the road. As they drew nearer to Grand Forks, their battery power continued drop, so they started turning off smaller functions like climate control and radio.
Ultimately, they arrived back home with less than 10 miles of range – a close call!
Sarah and Casey arrived back at headquarters in the low battery warning zone. Count that as a first for the Minnkota team!
Sarah says she learned that a lot needs to be considered when taking an electric vehicle on an extended trip. "You need to be conscientious of your battery range and how the weather conditions affect your range. Do not assume this is just like a fuel operated vehicle," she said.
"It will be interesting to see how the range is affected during the winter," Casey added, reflecting one of the top inquiries Minnkota hears when out in the community with the car.
Even with a heart-pounding finish to their journey, both Sarah and Casey said they had a great time with the car and look forward to taking it on the road again.
"It was fun to drive!" Casey said. "The acceleration is crazy compared to a normal vehicle."
Sarah told us she enjoyed the smooth, quiet ride, the cabin's roominess and, of course, the pep!
"I love the car," she said. "It's such an amazing addition to our fleet."

La Mark V è una autovettura costruita dalla Bentley dal 1939 al 1941. È stata il secondo modello prodotto dall'acquisizione della Bentley da parte della Rolls-Royce. Esso aveva molto in comune con i modelli di quest'ultima, incluso il nuovo motore in linea a sei cilindri. Il propulsore aveva una cilindrata di 4257 cm³, con 88,9 mm di alesaggio e 114,3 mm di corsa.

È stato in progetto anche un modello denominato Corniche, alleggerito e con carrozzeria aerodinamica, ma a seguito dello scoppio della seconda guerra mondiale la produzione fu sospesa con solo un singolo esemplare prodotto. Quest'ultimo fu elaborato da Georges Paulin e carrozzato  dalla Pourtout di Parigi. È stato restaurato ed attualmente fa parte del Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust di Derby.

Rockstar finally announces that GTA V Online Heists will be available March 10 for consoles, later for PC
Stephen Yuen February 25, 2015 Comments Off on Rockstar finally announces that GTA V Online Heists will be available March 10 for consoles, later for PC
It's like waiting for a whole new game, and for how long we've waited, it better hope it's like one. Rockstar Games has finally announced that GTA V Online Heists are coming and given it a solid released date: March 10th, but only for consoles. Sorry PC gamers, along with today's announcement about Heists, Rockstar also announced that the PC version of the game is going to be delayed again, this time till April 14th this time. On the plus side, you'll have access to Heists as soon as the game launches, and Rockstar has given everyone who preordered the PC version an additional $200,000 in-game cash to use in GTA Online as a token of goodwill. I know I can't wait until Heists are available – I definitely found them to be the most interesting parts of the story missions, especially weighing up cost and benefits of the accomplices you ...
Confirmed: GTA V will have first person perspective included in the Xbox One, PS4 versions
Stephen Yuen November 5, 2014 Comments Off on Confirmed: GTA V will have first person perspective included in the Xbox One, PS4 versions
It almost seemed like a fantastical rumour at first, but today it was confirmed by Rockstar Games that GTA V will have first person perspective included in the PS4 and Xbox One versions releasing on November 18th. This will be a huge departure for the franchise which last changed player perspective moving from the top-down GTA 2 to the third-person GTA III which has been the staple ever since. Whether or not this is going to be something that sticks around in future games is yet to be seen, but it probably gives players on last-gen consoles another reason to pick it up again to play on Xbox One and PS4. In fact, Rockstar Games animation director, Rob Nelson, says that "We could've put it in the [last-gen version] but we were too busy making the game". Fair enough, I guess. Check out the new gameplay trailer below which shows ...
Stephen Yuen November 4, 2014 Comments Off on GTA V to get Limited Edition soundtrack box sets which include CD and vinyl versions

Grand Theft Auto 5 release date has finally been confirmed for November 18th on Xbox One, PS4
Stephen Yuen September 15, 2014 Comments Off on Grand Theft Auto 5 release date has finally been confirmed for November 18th on Xbox One, PS4
In case you haven't heard, the official Grand Theft Auto 5 release date has been confirmed. After all the assorted leaks that jostled back and forth between the 7th and 14th of November, Rockstar Games has set the record straight and announced that it will be arriving on November 18th for Xbox One and PS4, however, PC gamers will have to wait a little longer as the game will be releasing on January 27th, 2015 for the platform. Thankfully, this marks the end of a long period of speculation. To celebrate, Rockstar Games even released a new trailer to celebrate the news – check it out below: For those of you wondering, all previous players of GTA 5 with a Social Club account will be able to migrate over their account to your choice of PC, PS4 and Xbox One. For those worried that this is just going to be a ...
Amazon.de lets slip November 14th as GTA V release date on Xbox One and PS4
Stephen Yuen August 8, 2014 2 Comments
The big question on the lips of GTA fans is: what is the GTA V release date on PC, Xbox One and PS4. Well, if Amazon.de – Amazon's German branch – is anything to go by, GTA V is going to release on those platforms on November 14th. The find was made by Xboxygen who were able to make the observation before Amazon.de removed that information, leaving just the listing. This of course comes after a listing a few weeks ago which seemed to suggest the release was happening on November 7th. Either way, given the number of rumours and listings with either November 7th or 14th listed as its release date, it seems extremely likely that we will be playing GTA V when either of these dates roll by. With that in mind, it shouldn't be too long before Rockstar Games comes out with the official release date in ...
Will GTA V release on PC, Xbox One and PS4 on November 7th?
Stephen Yuen July 24, 2014 Comments Off on Will GTA V release on PC, Xbox One and PS4 on November 7th?
If you are anything like me, you have been patiently waiting for the release of GTA V on either PC, Xbox One or PS4. We've known they were on their way for some time now, however we haven't seen any indication of when, or where, they will be releasing. Retailer GameSeek, however thinks that the GTA V release on PC, Xbox One and PS4 will happen in November, specifically the 7th of November, which is shown on their shopfront (below). This seems to be the ballpark date for the release of GTA V, but puts it up against some very stiff competition, with plenty of big name games expected to launch immediately prior to the Holiday period. That competition includes the likes of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Far Cry 4, The Crew and Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Still, we've yet to hear anything official from Rockstar Games themselves, ...

Do you ever find yourself at an event or outing thinking "I should do this sort of thing more often?". Feeling "in the moment" and knowing that it is a good moment? That is exactly how I felt at this art-opening last Thursday! Living in a large city, there is so much opportunity to explore art and culture. It felt very "The Artist's Way" to enjoy a lovely Fall weeknight by looking at beautiful art, being with a good friend, and enjoying great wine and food.
I am a big believer in "girls night out" (and "girls night in" for that matter). I am so lucky to have such awesome girlfriends in my life!!! We all need a little girl time, right! So, this was our "outing" for the week. My friend Jamie is an artist herself and works for the Spruill Center.
The art was amazing...and we even ended up with a photo of us taken by Michael David Murphy, one of the artists on exhibit, (photographer)...so, this begs the questions...does this make this photo of us art? We like to think so! We actually both wanted to take a picture with the artist (but, were both too shy to ask LOL...Barbara and Kelly, where are you girls when we need ya!?!?):) We loved Michael David Murphy's quirky sense of finding humor and irony in urban landscapes. As Jamie expressed, there was a serendipitous quality to his photos. The works by the other exhibitor Margaret Fletcher were amazing too. She uses a really cool technique called encaustic painting or hot wax painting...it was amazing and beautiful and hard to describe. The great news is that you can see it for yourself! This exhibit is on display until Oct 31st. Also, please be sure to check out the artists' websites (linked under the Spruill Gallery heading).
Lets all strive to find a little more beauty in our everyday lives...and as always, enjoy our time with good friends!
And, if you have never read: "The Artist's Way"...then, you must!!!
I love girls nights out! I am always ho hum on going and then end up having a ball with my girlfriends.

John of Ephesus (or of Asia) (c. 507 – c. 588) was a leader of the non-Chalcedonian Syriac-speaking Church in the sixth century, and one of the earliest and most important of historians who wrote in Syriac.
Born at Amida (modern Diyarbakır in southern Turkey) about 507, he was there ordained as a deacon in 529 by John of Tella at Zuqnin Monastery, but in 534 we find him in Palestine, and in 535 he passed to Constantinople. The cause of his leaving Amida might have been the great plague which broke out there in 542. However he also had already been traveling the region before in order to collect stories for his collection of saints lives. He was back in Amida at the start of the furious persecution directed against the Monophysites by Ephrem, patriarch of Antioch, and Abraham (bishop of Amida c. 520-541). Around 540 he returned to Constantinople and made it his residence.
In Constantinople he seems to have early won the notice of Justinian I, one of the main objects of whose policy was the consolidation of Eastern Christianity as a bulwark against the Zoroastrian power of Persia, through persecution of all the remaining pagans of the empire. John is said by Barhebraeus (Chron. eccl. i. 195) to have succeeded Anthimus as Monophysite bishop of Constantinople, but this is probably a mistake. In any case, he enjoyed the emperor's favor until the death of the latter in 565 and (as he himself tells us) was entrusted with the administration of the entire revenues of the Monophysite Church.
Ephesus (/ˈɛfəsəs/;Greek: Ἔφεσος Ephesos; Turkish: Efes; ultimately from Hittite Apasa) was an ancient Greek city on the coast of Ionia, three kilometres southwest of present-day Selçuk in İzmir Province, Turkey. It was built in the 10th century BC on the site of the former Arzawan capital by Attic and Ionian Greek colonists. During the Classical Greek era it was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League. The city flourished after it came under the control of the Roman Republic in 129 BC. According to estimates, Ephesus had a population of 33,600 to 56,000 people in the Roman period, making it the third largest city of Roman Asia Minor after Sardis and Alexandria Troas.
The city was famed for the Temple of Artemis (completed around 550 BC), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. In 268 AD, the Temple was destroyed or damaged in a raid by the Goths. It may have been rebuilt or repaired but this is uncertain, as its later history is not clear. Emperor Constantine the Great rebuilt much of the city and erected new public baths. Following the Edict of Thessalonica from Emperor Theodosius I, what remained of the temple was destroyed in 401 AD by a mob led by St. John Chrysostom. The town was partially destroyed by an earthquake in 614 AD. The city's importance as a commercial center declined as the harbor was slowly silted up by the Küçükmenderes River.

Combat Cage Fight Night
by Sinead McManus 16/01/2015
Goa is introducing India to a new kind of rush, mixing the throb of nightclub entertainment with the nail biting hush of contact sport. Get ready for Combat Cage Fight Night.
Combat Cage Fight Night combines sport and entertainment in an incredible spectacle featuring some of India's – and Goa's – most talented athletes performing stunning martial arts feats.
It's the chance to experience an electric vibe, an ambiance charged with anticipation, and heart-pounding moments before a jaw-clenching finale at a nightclub. With the support of the tourism department, Goa is about to host this new kind of entertainment sport, where sweat and tears are part of the game, where the better man or woman will need to give everything he or she has got to come out tops.
This is Combat Cage Fight, an entertainment sport that makes anything you've seen in Goa so far look like child's play. Scheduled for Sunday, January 18, the Fight Night will take place at Tito's Courtyard in Baga, where 12 fighters from across the country will go head to head in a six-bout contest that will challenge them physically and mentally as they fight for the top prize.
Combat Cage fighting is a safe, regulated sport involving a combination of a number of martial arts techniques fought inside a metal cage. A variety of traditional combat modes are involved, including boxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, Muay Thai, karate, Taekwondo, wrestling, judo and others to overpower the competitor.
Unlike traditional modes where one can to an extent anticipate the type of attack and defence possible based on the underlying structure of the combat mode, this free-style event forces fighters to react instinctively. Even thinking is out of the question! It is fast, intelligent and seemingly, if not actually, dangerous – competitors do not wear any obvious protection and must thwart the other's attempts to take them down by their own skill.
This is a first-of-its-kind event in India, where the complexity of these technical self-defence skills will merge with the pulsating vibe of a nightclub experience with sensational acts in between bouts. Some of the best DJs will perform at the event, including world renowned Eve Carey, taking the experience to a whole new level.
On Saturday, January 17, Combat Cage Fight will hold the weigh-ins for competitors at Café Mambo in Baga, where visitors will have the chance to get up close and personal with all the competitors and choose who they would like to support the following day. The weigh-ins include all major standard categories, from bantamweight to heavyweight for men and from straw weight to heavyweight for women, although it is not expected that any of the fighters in this Combat Cage Fight Night will fall in the heavyweight categories.
Goa has two competitors in the fray – Nelson Paes from Thivim and Soniya Parab from Chapora. Both have been training vigorously for the past six months to grab the debut Fight Night laurels for Goa. Paes left a life of corporate humdrum behind in Pune to pursue his thirst for sport. Finding his footing in kickboxing in Pune, he has never looked back since, his interest in contact sport continuing to grow as he mastered a variety of techniques.
An alumnus of Monte de Guirim high school, he has already trained in boxing, Muay Thai, wrestling and the basics of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, preparing for fights by learning as much as he can about his opponent to gauge his strengths and weaknesses.
Parab, on the other hand, is a master of boxing, having won her first fight against a male opponent since there were no females in her category. The former student of Guardian Angel High School in Curchorem has already made Goa proud, participating in every National Games since 2004 and being Goa's only gold medallist at the Guwahati games in 2007. She is also a professional boxer under the Professional Boxing Federation of Russia and has competed against international opponents.
Other competitors participating in the Combat Cage Fight Night include Alfaan Salim Hashmi from Devlali in Maharashtra, Amit Kumar from Delhi, Bharati Poswal from Bhivani in Haryana, Michael Pereira from Mumbai, Rohit Pundeer from Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh, Sachin Panwar from Haryana, Shrikant Shekhar from Orissa, Suraj Bahadur from Jalandar in Punjab, Tajodhin Sayeed from Nasik and Vivek Sharma from Delhi. Goa's Parab will be pitted against Bharati Poswal in the co-main event, while Paes will fight in the main event.
This will be one of India's leading entertainment sports that also happens to encourage women to take on self-defence skills and showcase their talent to the world.
The first four bouts will have three rounds of three minutes each, while the last two main events will have five rounds of three minutes each. Performances between bouts, in addition to the musical offerings, will include fire dancers and stunning ring girls in the cage, among other artistes.
Combat Cage Fight has ensured that strict security and medical arrangements – including bouncers, paramedics, an on-site doctor and ambulance – are all on hand to maintain order and preparedness in case of any untoward event. Referees will also regulate the bouts according to a pre-decided set of rules.
The main sponsor of the event is Magners Irish Cider in association with Vh1. Other supporters include Café Mambo, Go Pro, XXX Tequila and Goa Tourism. It is powered by Tito's and VIVA GOA magazine, with What's Up Goa being the online media partner and Spangle as the digital marketing partner. Manipal Hospital has come on board as the medical partner for the event.
As a home-grown event, Combat Cage Fight is set to break into a new level of entertainment in India, bringing glamour to combat sport and an edginess to the
nightclub experience. Discover the thrill of adrenaline as your favourite fighter defends and attacks, gasping as s/he takes the punches and cheering as s/he throws them back.

CNA | SOPHIS – Introducing the RetailPositive™ program!
Increase Brick & Mortar Traffic…Without Increasing Your Budget.
With the new RetailPositive™ program, now through proof-of-concept, you can change your business in 2015. RetailPositive™ can increase your brick & mortar traffic without increasing your budget.
Since 2012, from the development stage into the practical real word, RetailPositive™ has proven to work with existing retail brick & mortar by increasing individual store traffic on a day-to-day comparative from the previous year.
For years, one of the most pressing problems in retail has been the falling of store traffic. While many retailers have continued to rely on old legacy media to provide a 'push' method of sustaining sales volume along with increased pricing, traffic has lagged.
The fact of the matter is that what was a push platform used by many retailers in driving traffic prior to the Great Recession, mainly through legacy media, has become a relationship driven platform where the voice of the potential customer must be heard. The following engagement that must be developed builds the possibility of that potential customer coming into the existing brick & mortar facility.
b. Is extremely cost effective without increasing the client's existing marketing budget.
c. Maximizes digital & mobile.
d. And, increases the ROI of the retailer.
All of this is done without increasing the work load of the retailer's staff during the RetailPositive™ period. And, the complete platform is turned over to the retailer after six months of going 'live'.
With more and more people using digital and mobile to be connected, to look at their social media, to check out the latest commerce video and/or to read their mail and yes, actually making a call, it is an absolute that your integrated marketing core must be connected to them continuously in order to engage with them and get them into your store.
Sound like a 'silver bullet'? Its more than that. It works! Contact lance@cnasophis.com or klaus@cnasophis.com today.

Adam Idah 'over the moon' after extending Norwich contract
Updated / Friday, 25 Dec 2020 09:08
Idah was capped five times by Stephen Kenny in 2020
Republic of Ireland striker Adam Idah has signed a new contract at Norwich City, extending his stay until June 2024.
The Cork native, who made both his Premier League and senior international debuts in 2020, had signed his first professional contract with the Canaries in 2019.
Speaking after signing on new terms, Idah said: "I'm over the moon. When I found out the news, I knew straight away that I wanted to extend my contract with the club because since I've come here, I've loved every moment of it.
"I love the club and it's like a second family to me. Everyone's been backing me since the minute I came here and it reminds me a lot of home. Norwich is so similar to Cork because everyone here is so friendly, not just at the club but out in public.
"I've developed a lot as a player and come up through every age group since I was 16. I still just want to get better and keep developing and I think this is the best place for me to do that."
Idah with Daniel Farke
Currently sidelined with a knee ligament injury sustained in Ireland's UEFA Nations League defeat to Wales in Cardiff in November, Idah is expected to return to first-team club action early in the New Year.
The 19-year-old had made seven Championship appearances this season before the injury, scoring the winning goal in Norwich's season opener against Huddersfield.
Norwich manager Daniel Farke cited Idah's potential in spurring the decision to offer the five-time Ireland cap updated terms.
"It's great news for both parties. We have a great lad and a player with lots of potential. He knows he has people who trust him and we're a club who gives a stage to young players," he said.
"He was capable of being called up to Republic of Ireland's first team as well. He can play in several positions and we wanted to give him more of a stage this season. Sadly, it was stopped by an injury, but there's lots to come.
"He will need to improve and once he returns to team training if he can keep going with his attitude, I think he will have a great future."
Adam Idah

Learning and Discovery All Year Long
On The Country School campus, learning and discovery take place year-round. We offer a vibrant Summer Fun and Learning program, where participants are invited to explore their passions and discover new ones — from robotics to theater, soccer to outdoor adventures. We also offer before- and after-school programs each day through Owl's Nest and Homework Haven, as well as periodic enrichment programs on days when school is not in session.
Fostering a Feeling of Family
In our small community, we foster a feeling of family. Parents and teachers work together to nurture each child, valuing his or her unique gifts in an atmosphere of mutual respect. Because they feel safe in our familial environment, students dare to try new things, and our community celebrates the discovery of each talent. Older students and younger students form lasting friendships through our Reading Buddies program, as they share books and activities throughout the years. The entire community, PreSchool-Grade 8, comes together regularly for All School Meetings and assemblies and large-scale service learning projects.
Like a family, The Country School tries to prepare students to meet not just academic challenges, but personal and ethical ones as well, and so students are called upon to serve their communities and the larger world. Through our Service Learning Program, students of all ages learn that they can make a difference — and they routinely do.

Design and operation of enzymatic reactive crystallization: Applications in chiral purity and kinetically controlled synthesis
ENCARNACION-GOMEZ-DISSERTATION-2015.pdf (2.744Mb)
Encarnacion-Gomez, Luis G.
The work presented in this thesis is aimed to design efficient reactive crystallization operations that could potentially be implemented in the manufacture of enantiomerically pure compounds and β-lactam antibiotics. Multiple aspects of solution thermodynamics, reaction engineering and crystallization from complex solutions are involved and will be discussed in detail through the following chapters. The first piece of this work utilizes reactive crystallization for the manufacture of enantiomerically pure amino acids. Chemo-enzymatic stereoiversion reactions are used to enrich saturated or supersaturated solutions to favor the selection of a desired enantiomer. L-Methionine and L-Phenylalanine were resolve successfully from racemic mixtures by cyclic stereoinversion. r D-amino acids were oxidized by D-amino acid oxidase (D-AAO) and the resulting ketoacid was subsequently reduced by ammonia borane producing a racemic-mixture After the necessary enantiomeric enrichment was reached, system conditions were changed to induce supersaturation and promote crystal formation. In each case crystals with chemical and enantiomeric purities greater than 99% wt. were recovered. experimental information about reaction and crystallization kinetics was used to developed models. Such models were used to design model-based optimizations in which the productivity of the operation was enhanced by selecting an optimal temperature profile. The second example is a reactive crystallization towards the manufacture of β-lactam antibiotics. One of the major drawbacks of the utilization of enzymes towards the manufacture of β-lactam antibiotics is the fact that the same enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of the antibiotic also catalyzes its hydrolysis and thus, its degradation. The reaction scheme is a kinetically controlled synthesis in which the desired product is an intermediate within the network. Hence, the focus of this work is to design an efficient reactive crystallization in which the product is crystallized before it is consumed by hydrolysis. In order to accomplish this goal we have study solution equilibria, reaction kinetics, and crystallization kinetics. Even though crystallization kinetics of ampicillin has been previously reported; the reported models are not applicable to a reactive crystallization scheme for a variety of reasons. In this work, we have developed a robust model that can be applied to multiple crystallization protocols that are consistent with the conditions at which the enzymatic reaction can be performed. Finally, a reactive-crystallization scheme in which ampicillin was successfully recovered from solution was developed. In this work, crystal seeds were used to promote crystallization of the desired product from the complex media. The results indicated that is possible to perform the reaction and crystallization in parallel, and still recover crystals with high purity. This work is the first example in which ampicillin was produced and recovered with high purity in a single stage. Previous work on reaction crystallization of antibiotics reported ampicillin crystallization; however, this was accompanied by precipitation of by-products which greatly reduces the applicability of the operation as product purification is required after the reaction.
