Final chapter for 'One Region, One Book'
mycitizensnews
Woodland math teacher and former Marine Craig Skigen talks about his experience in the military at Region 16's final One Region, One Book event.
BEACON FALLS – For Sgt. Helman Roman, war didn't just change his outlook on life. It made his friends and family appreciate things they used to take for granted at a different level.
Roman was wounded in Afghanistan and is still an active duty member of the U.S. Army.
After all the things he'd been through, life's little annoyances didn't seem as significant as before.
"Before they complain about it, they've got to think about it twice," Roman said.
Roman and fellow veterans spoke about their experiences in the military for the culminating event of "One Region, One Book," a project intended to get the whole community discussing the same book.
The event took place March 30 at the Woodland Regional High School Library Media Center.
Students, parents and faculty came together to discuss "The Things they Carried" by Tim O'Brien, a collection of war stories that begins by listing the physical objects soldiers carried with them during the Vietnam War, and goes on to describe the emotional baggage soldiers took with them and brought back.
At the event, guest speakers described some of the things they brought with them in more recent wars.
Roman took a plastic green and white rosary from his aunt.
"Even though every time I put my body armor on, it would hurt me, I always kept it there," Roman said. "Always, you grab something from home. …You keep all those memories alive."
Eric Trinidad-Perez, veteran of the second Iraqi War, and recipient of a purple heart, said he carried a photograph of his wife, which he kept inside his helmet, as well as a copy of the New Testament from his grandmother. He said he used to read the Bible at night for an hour or two and still has the battered photo.
Dawn Rodock, also an Iraq War veteran, said she always kept a pair of jeans in her duffle bag.
"They made me feel good," she said.
Brian Fell, Woodland assistant principal and athletic director, served in the U.S. Navy. On the submarine, soldiers could only carry the bare essentials. Fell kept a picture of his wife and his wedding ring in his locker. The only thing he had with him all the time was a TLD, a device men would wear around their belts to protect them from radiation. Fell said the one thing he collected while on the submarine was family grams. Once every two weeks, soldiers would receive a few sentences from their loved ones, messages like "Miss You. See you soon. Daughter took first steps," Fell said.
"It was kind of a badge of honor. If you had ten or 11 of those things, boy, you were doing good," Fell said.
The veterans agreed with the author's sentiment that the best war stories aren't about war at all, but about the people who fight in wars. They discussed the rivalry between people who often go out on missions versus those that mostly stay at the base and what it's like to come back home after being in combat.
"When you're in a combat zone, it's like you're going 1,000 miles per hour. And when you come back home, it's like pulling the e-brake," Tinidad-Perez said.
Roman spoke about adjusting to civilian life after living in a combat zone.
In Iraq, he said, the soldiers were the authority. People would get out of the way when American tanks came down the streets. Back in Connecticut, he gets stuck in traffic on I-95. It's a difficult adjustment.
Unlike the soldiers in "The Things They Carried," today's veterans are welcomed home.
"To go through what you go through is hard enough. I can't imagine how those soldiers felt when they came home from Vietnam," Rodock said.
As part of the project, students wrote essays in reaction the book.
Ryan Landry read his essay about his personal battle with scoliosis and his seventh grade surgery. Makenzie White wrote her essay about leaving her mother on the first day of kindergarten and the importance of friends in facing life's adversities.
Makenzie's mother, Michelle White, said she enjoyed reading and discussing the book with her daughter.
"I just like the reach of it and bringing people together. I think a good story, a good book, is a way to expand your world. And when you can share it with other people, it just enriches the experience for everyone," Michelle White said.
Her daughter agreed.
"I just like the idea of the One Region, One Book, and I hope they do continue it. I thought that what all the speakers said was extremely inspirational," Mackenzie White said.
Woodland teacher Paul Geary said the program was more successful than he expected and he hopes to continue and expand the program next year. He is already thinking of books for next year, and is considering choosing two books with a similar theme. He and co-planner Joelle Kilcourse are soliciting suggestions from the public.
Book club co-presidents Lauren Heerdt and Shipojn Rifati worked on One Region, One Book for their senior project.
"We wanted to get the school involved in reading more and learning about the Vietman War," Rifati said.
Kilcourse said the event was a success.
"I'm hopeful that our turnout today will kind of foster some interest in reading and hopefully next year's choice," she said.

The 5 Biggest Reasons Browns Offense has Failed in 2021
While many want there to be a single reason the Cleveland Browns offense has failed in 2021, the reality is there are a handful that have contributed and there is no magic wand to fix them.
Despite a desire to find a single reason to explain why the 6-6 Cleveland Browns offense has only exceeded 17 points five times so far this year, the reality is that there are a multitude of reasons that have contributed to a massive failure on that side of the ball.
While the issues the Browns have simply cannot be fixed in the 2021 season, there is plenty of reason to believe a productive offseason can put them right back on track in 2022.
1. Baker Mayfield
Unfortunately, there's simply no way to avoid the fact the trajectory of the 2021 season was altered the second he tore the labrum in his left shoulder against the Houston Texans. It's an injury that will require surgery and could take three to four months to recover from in the offseason. Adding injuries to his knee and heel did not help, but once Mayfield could not be the player he showed capable the last ten games of the 2020 season and the first game of the 2021 season, this offense was not going to be able to reach their potential on that side of the ball.
That does not excuse mistakes Mayfield has made in games, the most recent of which includes a ghastly fumble against the Baltimore Ravens, an opportunity that may have yielded the points necessary to win the game. However, a major reason the Browns were able to play so well down the stretch in 2020 is because Mayfield was playing as well as any quarterback in the league. Going from that to a compromised version, at times a complete shell of himself, has been a substantial challenge to the Browns as a whole. He did not go down for the year, but in a number of ways, he may as well have.
Looking ahead to 2022, Mayfield needs to get healthy. Beyond the imminent surgery on his shoulder, he's going to have to get rid of some bad habits that creeped into his game in 2021. He did not trust his protection (we'll get to that) and dropped his eyes too often in an effort to try to escape pressure for example. Mayfield's feet have also been troubling at times.
Earlier in the year, Mayfield held onto the ball too long in hopes of making hero plays and subjected himself to avoidable punishment, creating turnovers in the process while also suffering a broken humerus in his shoulder. That much has been corrected as Mayfield has started to play within his physical limitations to better results.
Nothing that has happened to Mayfield in 2021 prevents him from being able to return to the form he showed capable in 2020. Given that Mayfield has fought and continues to fight through this season with everything he has, the hope is he find ways to use the struggles of the season to help him for the future.
It's simply not realistic to compete for a championship with a starting quarterback in the physical state Mayfield has been in this season.
2. Wide Receivers (And One Tight End)
The wide receiver position was not great in 2020, an issue that was completely exposed in the playoffs against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Browns were hopeful that Odell Beckham Jr. being healthy and available this year would provide the difference maker that would open up the offense. They were half right.
Beckham did open up spacing in the offense, which provided a notable difference for the Browns when he was on the field. The Los Angeles Rams are seeing a similar impact with Beckham on the field. It did not translate into production for Beckham, which proved to be unsustainable for him to continue with this team.
Jarvis Landry, so excited for this season, finally able to be healthy, playing with Beckham, changed his body to make himself quicker and have a more defined role. Two snaps into the second game of the season, Landry suffered a knee injury that caused him to miss the first games for injury in his entire career. That knee has been aggravated on multiple occasions and he's a shell of himself.
Landry was able to turn in a 111-yard game against the Ravens, That is more than any two games he's had since sustaining the injury. Unfortunately, he also had a costly fumble in the game.
Forever a zone beater, Landry consistently struggles beating man coverage, which is the biggest issue that group faces across the board and the Chefs exposed in the playoffs, the Browns have been unable to get past it in 2021.
Landry is giving everything he has to the point where he might be trying to do too much which has led to some of the costly mistakes he's had this season.
Landry's struggles look minor compared to Rashard Higgins. The best receiver on the team in 2020, Higgins has gone from the most reliable and efficient option for Mayfield to being so ineffective, he was benched in favor of practice squad option Ja'Marcus Bradley.
Higgins simply has not been able to get open this season and he's dropped passes, something he did not do in the entirety of the 2020 season. Maybe there's more to why Higgins has experienced such a disappointing year, but his room for error has always been thin given his underwhelming physical attributes.
With what were three of the top four options not being anywhere near the Browns would have hoped, they have been left with second year talent Donovan Peoples-Jones and rookie third round pick Anthony Schwartz.
Jones, a 2020 6th round pick has flashed immense talent, but he was available that late because he was such an unfinished product. As a rookie, he shined in part because he was a fourth or fifth option, able to capitalize against favorable matchups.
Jones has missed multiple games due to ongoing groin issues, but in the two games he's most recently been able to play, the Ravens and New England Patriots, he often found himself against Marlon Humphrey and was shadowed by J.C. Jackson, two of the best corners in the NFL.
He had a critical drop early in the Ravens game, but the Browns are counting on production from a player that is suddenly the focal point of how opponents game plan for defending the Browns.
All of this has suddenly made Anthony Schwartz an integral part of the offense. The third round rookie, who was selected as a project and entered the season fifth on the depth chart, he was never intended to be anything more than a player peppered into the offense this year.
Schwartz is the one remaining receiver who can consistently stretch the field and force opponents to keep defensive backs deeper. Having gone out early against the Patriots with a hellacious hit that resulted in a concussion and then missing games against the Lions and Ravens, defenses are lining up almost every single player near the line of scrimmage in an effort to stop the run and force the Browns to beat man coverage in the air.
The fact the Browns now desperately need Schwartz just to try to create space for their offense illustrates just how badly the wide receiver position has turned out to be in 2021.
Austin Hooper may not be a wide receiver, but he has been one of the most frustrating pass catchers on the team not just this year, but last year as well. Because he's 250 pounds and can block at a high level, there's reason to give him a little slack, but it's increasingly difficult.
He drops or is otherwise unable to catch too many passes that he should make. It's that much more apparent when contrasted against David Njoku and Harrison Bryant, who have been cleaner in that aspect of the game this season.
Hooper is clearly capable of playing better than he's shown, but at some point it simply has to happen. Tight ends are a critical component within this offense, especially as the Browns are so devoid of receiver talent and Hooper has an opportunity to be so much more than he has been in Cleveland to this point.
Looking ahead to 2022, the Browns need to take a similar approach to the wide receiver position that they did with their secondary last year. Outside of Jones, Schwartz and Felton, who functions as a three-position player, the Browns have to bring in talent that fits what they want to be.
This position needs to improve drastically if any quarterback is going to have sustainable success for the Browns.
3. Offensive Tackle
Even though the Browns offensive line did its share of juggling in 2020, they were able to get by playing just six guys for the majority of the season and were legitimately seven deep.
Chris Hubbard was deservedly hailed a hero, stepping in at both tackle spots as well as right guard, allowing the Browns to continue to excel in that area, even if it wasn't quite as dominant. After he dislocated his kneecap against the New York Giants and their accursed turf, Kendall Lamm was able to step in and keep that going.
When they got to the playoffs, the Browns got a huge game out of reserve Michael Dunn in the wildcard round, taking over for Joel Bitonio, who missed the game with COVID-19. Blake Hance made an appearance and left guard and had to play a significant amount of tackle against the Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round.
Not only were the Browns incredibly well prepared for 2020, they also had an element of magic that year with their line. Bill Callahan was the offensive line coaching equivalent of King Midas and everything he touched turned to gold.
Going into 2021, the Browns had countless reasons to be confident. Jedrick Wills was wholly focused on improving at left tackle in a normal offseason where he could really improve in a more orthodox fashion. This really stood out in the running game where he could get hands on people actively resisting him.
The first game of the season on a touchdown run by Jarvis Landry against the Kansas City Chiefs, Wills went down grabbing his ankle. He had to come out of the game and there was a worry that he would be lost for far longer.
In fact, Wills missed virtually no time immediately and was right back out there the next few weeks doing everything he could on a bad ankle. He left multiple games after aggravating the injury including once on a cart before the Browns sat him out for weeks five and six.

Even if the ankle injury isn't as debilitating as it had been, Wills continues to play with it and it has continued to impact his play. Against the Patriots and Ravens, he struggled and it led to a number of big plays for the defense.
Wills is still just 22 years old and has plenty of room to grow. Ankle or not, he might have had some hiccups this year just with the challenges of the NFL, but the ankle has only exacerbated those issues.
On the other side, Jack Conklin's 2021 season has been a nightmare. When he was on the field, Conklin has been a terrific run blocker and largely solid pass blocker. He may well have ended up in the All-Pro conversation again.
The problem was that Conklin entered the season with a nagging knee injury. He played through it before missing games six and seven. When he returned in week eight, he suffered a dislocated elbow against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which caused him to be placed on injured reserve, missing three more games. Returning for the Ravens game, Conklin's knee gave out due to a torn patella tendon, which ended his season.
Chris Hubbard, the heroic sixth man of 2020, stepped in for Wills the first game of the season, playing out the rest of the game. In the process, he suffered an injury to his tricep. Inactive for the next three games but still on the active roster, Hubbard reached a conclusion that he would not be able to contribute and he needed to have the surgery, ending his season. The Browns offensive tackle depth was burned up after just 39 offensive snaps.
The Browns had drafted James Hudson III in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, but he was picked as a developmental project. He demonstrated in the preseason just how far away he was from being ready. He was never supposed to see the field this year.
Nevertheless, Hudson did get on the field at points out of sheer necessity, including a game where he and Blake Hance were the team's two tackles, producing terrifying results. Hance, meanwhile, had been practicing at center as an emergency option in case they needed him. He even played a game at center in the preseason. The Browns needed Hance to play tackle, so once again, he went out there and did the best he could.
Initially, Hance had some decent performances. Unfortunately, a combination of bad habits and opponents studying him for weakness have rendered him completely inadequate to the task. He has been a massive liability and limited what the Browns could do. Teams fearlessly send extra pressure off the right side knowing they will get through to disrupt the run or attack the quarterback.
Looking ahead for 2022, it starts with Wills and Conklin getting healthy. Wills should continue to grow, getting cleaner with his technique, getting more comfortable with how opponents will attack him while also continuing to get more powerful.
The Browns may want to re-sign Hubbard as a swing option. Hubbard really likes the Browns and they really like him, having restructured him to keep him on the team for two years. If not Hubbard, they will need to find someone else that can contribute, whether that's looking at options that have been with the team in the past, including Alex Taylor and Greg Senat, or finding someone else either in free agency or the NFL Draft.
Clearly, Hudson needs to make massive improvements in year two, because the Browns know they cannot have him take up a roster spot while not being able to contribute anything two years in a row.
4. Kareem Hunt
Related to the issues discussed with the wide receiver position, the loss of Kareem Hunt for five weeks was pretty devastating, largely because of his ability to contribute both in the running and passing game.
In the six games before Hunt hurt his calf, he caught 20 passes on 24 targets for 161 yards. That's on top of the 381 yards rushing and five touchdowns he had rushing, averaging 5 yards per carry. Plenty of that receiving yardage was in the form of screens, but his ability to largely fill the void left by Landry in the form of underneath passing routes was useful.
Frankly, Hunt should've gotten the ball more than he did, particularly in his capacity as a space player. His threat in the passing game also helped him in the running game. His running style, going full bore into the hole, can often beat opponents to the spot. When they are concerned about him going out for a pass, it only helps him find more success as a runner.
Not having Hunt forced the Brown to be more willing to utilize Nick Chubb in the passing game, which was a small positive. Chubb continues to get better in this aspect of the game and has improved every season of his career.
But for a team getting nothing out so little out of the wide receiver spot, losing Hunt who can line up anywhere only applied salt to the wound.
5. Kevin Stefanski
After operating at an incredibly high level under terrible circumstances as a first year head coach during the pandemic, Kevin Stefanski has proven fallible in year two. He's still a talented and capable head coach, but there is more that can be criticized in terms of decisions, strategy and play calling.
Absent a true understanding of how the play calling operation works, criticizing who's mouth the call comes from is irrelevant. Undoubtedly, Stefanski has any number of plays over the course of a game he will. But given the fact Stefanski deals with other issues during the game between the defense, special teams and time management as well as the sheer amount of people involved in the offensive operation, it stands to reason he's not hand picking every play.
Offensive Coordinator Alex Van Pelt is likely the point man, but it's an operation that includes passing coordinator Chad O'Shea, running game coordinator Stump Mitchell, Bill Callahan and a few others who work as support staff up in the box to gather and provide prudent, timely information.
Some of these play calls are coming from that group. Stefanski may be relaying the call, but a percentage of the plays are coming from that brain trust. The same is true of the offensive game plan.
Setting that fruitless discussion, opponents have had a chance to study and game plan against the offense the Browns have installed, finding the differences between what he does as opposed to the Shanahans and Kubiaks of the world. They were going to come up with ways to fluster the offense and Stefanski's staff was going to have to adjust on the fly and over the course of the year.
Combine that with the challenges this offense has faced that have been discussed already, calling plays is substantially more difficult. The most brilliant play callers almost always have a significant amount of talent. This year, the Browns are trying to figure out the right play calls effectively with a hand tied behind their back.
For example, with Hance at right tackle combined with Mayfield's limitations due to injury, designed rollouts and wide play-action calls have been almost nonexistent this season. When Stefanski took the job, one of the first things he told Mayfield to do was to get faster to run the stretch concepts.
What the Browns are running into now is being unable to run the ball to keep themselves on schedule as defenses load up to eliminate it. Running on first down often results in second and long or longer than when they started as was the case against the Ravens. Running again doesn't make a ton of sense at that point. So the result has been an offense trying to pass to create running opportunities, which has been a struggle.
There are some regrettable play calls that Stefanski has made this season. Some of the calls on fourth down earlier in the year were a mess and his handling of the last two drives against the Los Angeles Chargers stand out.
And as many coaches have been, Stefanski was completely undressed by Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. It stands to reason Stefanski will learn from it and get better.
The Browns need better health and more talent to make the offense and Stefanski better. It also stands to reason that he's going to learn a significant amount from many of the failures the Browns had this season.
More frustrating given how much more time the Browns have had to prepare has been the issues with pre-snap penalties and motion. It's stunning how much smoother the operation worked for the Browns offense last year when they had less practice time and operated digitally for such a long period of time.
Illegal formation penalties.
False start penalties from wide receivers.
It's not young players making those mistakes either. It's veterans that should know better. The Browns are too often beating themselves before the opponent has a chance. And since the most effective offenses tend to employ the most motion, not being able to utilize it at the same rate is a disadvantage this team can ill afford. Seemingly, almost all the motion are Browns do employ involves their three tight ends.
It also impacts how much they can do in terms of changing plays at the line of scrimmage. Certainly, they go to the line of scrimmage with more than one play available, but when they can't just make a call at the line based on an opportunity they see in part due to the inability to trust the personnel not to botch it, that's a major red flag.
Given the talent on the offensive coaching staff, it's stunning it has gotten to this point, but they will not allow it to continue beyond this season, making changes as they deem necessary.
There's unquestionably an element of luck when it comes to being a championship team in the NFL and the Browns haven't had any of it in 2021 as it relates to injuries on the offensive side of the ball.
There are also meaningful improvements the Browns will have to make both in terms of talent as well as the operation. They have the capability to get right back on track in 2022, but that will not minimize the overwhelming disappointment that has been the 2021 offense which still has five regular season games remaining.

yeah, it works, but the issue with missing traces still there in gimp :/, also why i cant configure anything in your app ?? like a said on my last replay it only detects my tablet and in the pad sections says cannot find device 'Wacom intuos4 6x9 pad ??
It looks like you've found a bug in something other than this program. This program simply applies settings to your driver so that the tablet behaves in certain ways. You're running a development release of ubuntu so it's important to report the issue to the right people by doing a little troubleshooting.
1) Was the issue there before you installed this program? Or did it start when you installed this program?
2) Does the issue occur in GIMP only? Or does it occur in all GTK drawing programs such as mypaint too?
3) Does your tablet work correctly in another computer?
I'm trying to configure my Bamboo Pen & Touch tablet (CTH-460), but your control panel gives me no option. It recognises the tablet as a "Wacom BambooPT 2FG 4x5" but under Input Devices I get only "options".
I'm on Ubuntu Lucid, with the upgraded Wacom kernel module and Xorg module from the doctormo wacom-plus ppa.
My Bamboo Fun is not detected by ubuntu 10.10.
And the script don't work with this serial number.
can you add bamboo wacom 0xD8?
My screen is 4:3 and my drawing tablet seems to be 16:10. It would be nice to have the option to map the screen to the center of the tablet instead of stretch to fit.
This feature is quite high up on my list when I get time to work on this.
In the Windows Control panel, there is a left-handed mode. I am left-handed and I suggest that you add that feature to your app soon. I am not very good with codes and I can't set it myself, but I know that there is a pretty simple way to switch that with xsetwacom.
I think that it would help lots of leftys like me.
Thanks for your suggestion. I would like a little more detail as to what you expect this left hand mode to do, and what model tablet you are using.
Thanks again, and by the way you did a great job with your app!
It doesn't work for me, I restart PC and the desktop never initialize. In order to recover my OS I have to delete the xorg.conf, I know is about the video but I don't know how to fix it, I have a intel x3100 and it works without the file xorg.conf.
I have a genius gpen tablet and I installed the wizard pendrivers from the ppa. My question is, can this wacom control panel work without creating a xorg.conf file??
I'm not an expert but I think that even if I could fix my video configuration in a xorg.conf file I think I will loose KMS functions and dual display. Am I right?
Anyhoo.. Thank you for the tool because I know it works for most people.
You must be using the older of the two versions available - as the newer version (8.10 and onward) does not have to modify your xorg.conf file to make tablets work.
However I hate to state the obvious but this utility is called Wacom control panel, not Genius GPen control panel. None of the backends or drivers are designed to work with your tablet's manufacturer.
and those tiny lines doesn't allow a full desktop start.
this is the only thing the panel shows http://www.alm-mediaconcept.com/images/varias/Wacom%20Tablet%20Configuration.png then I restart and... black screen. I cannot even open a tty. Deleting the xorg.conf file is the only way to initialize my desktop.
Well I only dropped the gpen thing just as an exmaple because I own both tablets, a wacom bamboo touch and pen and a gpen.
Again thank you for the help you could give.
work very well on maveric!
only what i need more is screen mapping.
Donate it, guys, this is really great tool!
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you like it. I'll add new features to this app once the wacom-tools developers fix a bug that seems to affect alot of users from viewing what hardware buttons they have set.
Screen mapping and application profiles are high on the list once this happens.
Is this really a bug or did they just change the mapping for some reason?
It all works well (except for the touchstrips) as long as one knows this.
Also, it forgets the settings on program exit. Maybe it or wacom-tool just need to run with some more su-like powers or something?
For now I think Ill just try and get the readout from the program it sends to xset in a file and get some auto thingie to send that to wacom-tool on startup.
@nausser: I got it (sort of, like stated above) working on Maverick by adding the Lucid lynx-repos, and then search for the python thing that was phased out, or whatever. And then installing Wacom control panel from a deb or the added reps.
Probably a bad idea though, but I prefered it to the alternative.
Thanks for the image with the button mappings. I'll be sure to include those corrections with the next release. Sorry for the delay.
When I try to set a new command to one of the buttons on my intuos 3, it doesn't save it.
2. When I try to use the scroll bar, it just moves my cursor to the upper left corner of the screen, and does nothing.
Has anyone else had these problems? If so, what did you do to fix them? I really want to be able to use my tablet properly in Ubuntu, but as it stands now, the tablet is twice as useful in Windows as in Linux.
As this app is a frontend for xsetwacom, part of the wacom-tools package, there's nothing I can do to fix these bugs.
These are serious issues introduced into the wacom-tools package in ubuntu 10.04, there's nothing I can do to fix them. I've opened two bug reports, and the devs have done nothing. If you have the time and energy, then go chase the respective people and get their attention on it.
Ah, I see. Thanks for replying, though.
I agree. Before I discovered this package, I heard Ubuntu 10.10 had multi-touch support built in so I thought maybe my Bamboo Touch may finally work. Now I wish I didn't upgrade. I sure hope this is somewhat simple for you to port to 10.10. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know!
Right now I'm unable to upgrade to maverick because I use a macbook pro - and EFI is completely and utterly broken so I have to do a full reinstall every time I upgrade in the hope that they have fixed this major bug. I may be able to compile it for maverick if you tell me what dependencies are missing.
Can the deb package install? If not, what package is it missing?
doesn't know what it is.

Prague: Dozens of people pray for Syria
Keywords:People pray for SyriaPrague prays for SyriaPresident Bashar AssadSyria Civil War
Dozens of people prayed for peace in Syria and the war victims during a rally at Hradcany Square in Prague within the Candle for Aleppo IV event staged by the Czechs for Aleppo group on Monday.
The event accompanied the international march to Aleppo, which is now crossing the Czech Republic.
Speakers at the event blamed the conflict in Syria on President Bashar Assad and called for solidarity with the war-destroyed country.
The participants were also addressed by those taking part in the Civic March for Aleppo, aimed to draw attention to the extermination of the civilian population in Syria.
The marchers set out on their journey in Germany at the end of last year and they want to go as far as Syria.
In Prague, where the march arrived on Sunday, the group of several dozens of people grew into about 200.
The march will leave Prague at 10:00 on Tuesday and will continue via the Czech Republic to Vienna, where it is to arrive at the end of January.
From Austria, the marchers will continue in the direction opposite to the traditional route of migrants via Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia and Greece to Turkey.
Aleppo, Syria's second largest city, has become a symbol of the civilians' suffering in the current war. At the end of last year, it became the site of hard fighting between the Syrian military and the opposition, in which the military got control of the city.

Men who had high levels of the activated Stat5 protein in their prostate cancer after a radical prostatectomy were more likely to have a recurrence or die from the disease compared to men who had little to no presence of the growth protein, according to a recent study published in Human Pathology by Jefferson's Kimmel Cancer Center researchers.
This suggests, Stat5, a protein that when activated signals cancer cells to grow and survive, could be an ideal biomarker to help guide patients and physicians for future treatment.
The research team, led by Marja Nevalainen, MD, PhD., associate professor of Cancer Biology, Medical Oncology and Urology at Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson's Kimmel Cancer Center, examined prostate cancer biopsies and tumor tissues obtained from 562 men who underwent a radical prostatectomy, comparing Stat5 levels with outcome.
They also looked at prostate tumor tissue in 106 patients who were under a "watchful waiting" or active surveillance treatment plan and had no neoadjuvant therapy. Samples were taken at the time of diagnosis.
"In both cohorts, if the patient had increased Stat5 in their prostate cancer, that patient was more likely to experience prostate recurrence or die from his disease compared to patients who had very low levels of Stat5," said Dr. Nevalainen.
More specifically, patients without detectable nuclear Stat5a/b expression had recurrence-free survival of 72 percent at eight years. In contrast, patients with high nuclear Stat5a/b score had a recurrence-free survival rate of 42 percent at eight years. This indicates an approximately 30 percent benefit in recurrence-free survival at eight years associated with negative status for nuclear Stat5a/b expression in prostate cancer.
For those on active surveillance, patients with low nuclear Stat5a/b scores had a lower probability of prostate cancer specific death. There was an approximate 50 percent benefit in prostate cancer specific survival at 10 years associated with a negative status for Stat5.
The findings support a series of past and ongoing studies investigating Stat5 and its predictive capabilities led by Dr. Nevalainen.
A study from 2005, published in the journal Clinical Cancer Research, showed similar findings to this current study. Activated Stat5 in prostate cancer predicted outcome; however, there were differences in the cohorts. The key limitation of the previous study was the heterogeneous cohort of the patients, who received different adjuvant therapies at the time / after radical prostatectomy. In the present study, the patients received a single mode of surgical intervention with no neoadjuvant therapies.
In 2008, in a another study published in Clinical Cancer Research, researchers showed that they can effectively kill prostate cancer cells in both the laboratory and in experimental animal models by blocking Stat5. That provided a proof of principle that Stat5 is a therapeutic target protein for prostate cancer.
Next, the group will be investigating Stat5's predictive response after radiation therapy.
"There is an urgent need for reliable biomarkers to identify prostate cancer patients whose cancer is most likely to recur after the initial therapy and progress to advanced disease," said Dr. Nevalainen. "The data presented here supports the initiation of prospective studies to determine the clinical utility of Stat5 as a prognostic and predictive marker in prostate cancer."
Research reported in this publication was supported by the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health under award number R01CA113580.

Stages of Human Reproduction

How to Calculate Growth Velocity
By Jillian O'Keeffe
Human reproduction can be divided into different stages, the best known being the trimester system. This divides the roughly nine months of pregnancy into three equal sections lasting three months each. From a microscopic single-celled organism, a baby uses time and maternal resources to grow into a healthy baby weighing about six to eight pounds when it is born.
The first trimester lasts three months. It begins with fertilization of the egg by a sperm in the fallopian tube that connects the uterus to the ovaries. The fertilized egg turns into a zygote, which is a single cell with a full set of chromosomes (an egg and a sperm both have half a set of chromosomes). The original zygote cell multiplies as it moves down the fallopian tube. The zygote turns into a morula when it contains 16 cells and a blastocyst when it is made of about 100 cells. The cells get to the uterine lining and implant there on about day six. There the blastocyst continues to grow as an embryo.
The organs start to differentiate in the third week, limbs become apparent in the second month and at the end of the second month, sexual characteristics appear. The embryo turns into a fetus in the third month.
After the first trimester, the fetus has almost all of its organs ready apart from the brain, nervous system and lungs. It spends the next three months developing bone structure, growing larger and maturing its brain and lungs. The baby starts to kick and move around during the second trimester.
The fetus perfects its brain structure during the last trimester. Its circulatory system and its lung system develop more during this time so the baby is ready to breathe air. The last trimester is also when the baby grows even larger and uses a lot of the mother's protein and calcium reserves to fuel this process. The mother's natural antibodies also pass to the fetus during the last month of pregnancy.
Stages of Birth
Birth also has three stages. The first stage is when the mother goes into labor and the labor progresses until her cervix is fully dilated (10 cm in diameter). The amniotic sac also bursts (her water breaks) during the first stage. The second stage involves moving the baby down the birth canal and out of the body using very strong contractions of the uterus every two to three minutes. The third stage of birth is expelling the placenta after the baby is born.

If you are the type of person that enjoys searching for answers and helping people solve complex issues, you could be a great addition to this field. The first step you should take towards achieving your goal of working with patients that have are showing symptoms of or have been diagnosed with mental health disorders is to locate a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling to begin your training.
The field of counseling may have long been an area in which people could connect with others in need of guidance. If you were to review some of the specialized fields of counseling, you may find that counseling professionals can be useful in many different aspects of everyday life - especially those that can involve dramatic or large-scale change.
Counseling degree programs can be a great resource for upcoming professionals with the desire to help guide others through difficult life circumstances or even assist people with managing the side effects of diagnosed mental health disorders.
The Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling is a degree program that was designed to help train students on the assessment of clients that may show symptoms of mental health disorders, help students learn how to create helpful treatment plans based on the theoretical foundations of counseling, and assist current students in learning how to make suggestions for healthier lifestyles.
Each masters program may have a slightly different layout, making your research into the right program an important step in finding one that meet all of your needs. If you want to learn more about programs currently available and the results they can provide for you, read more in this helpful guide below.
So, you know that you might be interested in becoming a clinical mental health professional. What do you do now? Your next best step may be to review what is currently available to you in the educational realm.
All over the United States, counseling degree programs are currently accepting applications from qualified and dedicated students willing to go the extra mile to be a helpful counseling professional. Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling may be offered both online and in-person, which can be a great feature for current professionals that cannot give up their current career in order to continue their education.
Choosing the right school for your program should consist of a few different considerations. If you are looking to become a licensed counselor after graduation, you should seek out degree programs that are currently accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). This organization's accreditation is required in order for a degree program to lead to licensure, so always locate this confirmation on a degree program prior to submitting your application. Also, if you have the ability to engage in full-time learning, you should consider the length of time it can take you to complete each program.
In an effort to help make your search a little easier, our team of educational experts has reviewed a list of degree programs currently provided by the CACREP. In the list below, you can read a little about each program to see if any meet your expectations.
North Carolina Central University: North Carolina Central University may take a different approach at training upcoming clinical mental health counseling professionals. This university may focus on the needs of diverse population within their degree program, in hopes of creating counseling professionals that can be guidance experts in any social setting. This degree program may require that students complete 3 years of educational training, which may include internship components in the field. This online degree option can be great for current professionals seeking advancement within the field of counseling.
Northwestern University: The online Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Northwestern University can be a great option for students that are seeking supervision components within their degree program. This CACREP-accredited degree program can allow students to engage in face-to-face experience opportunities, supervision hours, and internships within the provided curriculum. This added benefit to this program may be what makes it so attractive for upcoming students in clinical mental health counseling. Students enrolled in this program may be able to complete it within 3 years.
Malone University: Universities such as Malone University may understand the need for convenience and flexibility for masters-level students. This school currently provides an online Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling for students with the desire to help others in need. This program may include coursework that can further educate students about the symptoms of common mental health disorders, treatment methods to assist clients with dealing with issues, and ethical guidelines for professionals to follow along their journey. Students can choose to pursue their degree at a full-time or part-time rate, which can influence how long it takes them to complete their program in total.
A common question from students considering this degree field may surround the type of courses they may be required to take while in the Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. In order to quality for accreditation, degree programs must contain a specific set of classes within their curriculum.
This can make the search a little easier for upcoming students, since they know that accredited programs should contain similar coursework regardless of where they are found. Each university may provide a different layout of courses, different sequences, and even varying deliveries of information throughout their program. Depending on where you enroll, you may have a slightly different experience that people in other masters programs.
The courses that may be included within your degree program may include those that focus specifically on the care of patients with mild to severe mental health disorders. Some course work may also focus on working with clients that may be showing signs of mental illness and are in need of assessment. The degree programs common throughout the United States may begin with an introduction into the origination of mental health fields and move quickly into the theoretical foundations of mental health treatment, ethics, and practice in the clinical setting.
Our team of educational experts has years of experience in researching educational programs in different fields. This team recommends that students review the curriculum of their chosen program prior to making a decision on which university to apply to. Small differences between the curricula of different programs can make a big difference in what you learn while enrolled in your program. Take a look below at some of the common courses that can be found within online Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree programs.
Counseling and Psychotherapy Theories: In order to be an effective clinical mental health professional, students should have a wide range of knowledge of the different theories pertaining to counseling and psychotherapy. There are currently hundreds of theories for students to search through – each with their own special contribution to the field of mental health. Students within this course can research these theories, identify shortcomings, and acknowledge the positive influence that each of these theories can provide to clinical mental health counseling. Students may also have the opportunity to apply information from these theories to scenarios through course room assignments.
Multicultural Counseling: As a clinical mental health counselor, professionals may often work with people from varying backgrounds, religions, ethnicities, and even sexual orientations. Courses such as this one can provide a foundation of understanding for students that may work with multicultural groups in the field, so that all people can receive the same level of quality when receiving treatment. This course may also encourage students to embrace diversity and provide an even quality of service to all clients, regardless of their individual traits. Students in this course may be encouraged to further educate themselves about the people within the communities, their norms, and their beliefs.
Psychopharmacology: Working in the mental health field may include the need for knowledge into the medications that can be used to treat mental health disorders. Students within this course can learn more about psychotropic medications, their effects of the human body, and the psychological side effects of each one. This knowledge can assist professionals in assessing the symptoms of clients that may be taking prescribed medication, as well as help counselors determine which medications might be the best options for their clients depending on their diagnosis. This course may also include a look into psychopharmacological interventions common throughout the United States.
The below is not necessarily a comprehensive step-by-step outline for getting your counseling licensure. Each state is different, be sure to check out your state for specific counseling licensure requirements.
Accredited Masters Degree Completion: First and foremost, prospects in counseling licensure should locate a degree program that can promote their success in the field of clinical mental health counseling. Regardless of which state you reside in, you may be required to engage in a masters program that is currently accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). This organization reviews educational programs to ensure that they consist of the required sequence of courses and provide a high-quality educational program for upcoming clinical professionals. Completion of an accredited masters program can be your first step to becoming a licensed counselor in the future.
Supervised Clinical Experience: Completing a masters degree program is not the only step in your journey to licensure. Since counseling is such an effective method of providing care to the public, professionals must have thorough training prior to receiving the clearance to provide services to people in the field. The supervised clinical experience requirement is present in every state, and may require that student engage in 3,000 to 3,500 hours of clinical experience prior to being approved for licensure. Different state may have varying specifications for this requirement, but most require that half of your hours be completed under the direct supervision of a licensed professional counselor and the other half be completed in a clinical environment.
Examination: Clinical mental health providers must also successfully pass the National Counselor Examination prior to applying for licensure within their state. This test may consist of clinical elements that can test a student's ability to perform assessments, implement treatment plans, and identify ethical dilemmas while working in the field. After completing this test, students can then move forward to filing documentation with their state to pursue their license to practice.
Licensure Application: Depending on which state you reside in, the documentation requirements for a licensure application may vary. Most states require that students provide proof of completion of an accredited masters degree program, documentation showing supervised clinical experience, and proof of completion of the National Counselor Examination. From that point, students may be required to complete a state law examination specific to their state. Meeting these requirements may then qualify applicants for licensure in counseling within their state.
The role of the clinical mental health professional can vary depending on what a client needs. Professionals within this field may assess new clients to determine what level of services they may require, as well as administer testing to determine if the client has any mental health disorders that may need diagnosed. After this step, professional counselors may work with the client to determine an effective treatment plan that may include different kinds of therapy. Speaking with families or other concerned parties, checking progress, and conducting needed therapies may also be a big part of what these professionals do on a regular basis. Counselors within this field can work with people with a broad range of mental health issues, including some of the disorders and issues listed below.
What can I earn as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor?
Mental Health Counselor: $46,050 on average per year (BLS).
Mental Health Counseling - Mental Health Facilities and Substance Abuse Centers: $42,140 on average per year (BLS).

Старые Котлицы — деревня в Муромском районе Владимирской области России, входит в состав Ковардицкого сельского поселения.

География
Деревня расположена в 12 км на север от центра поселения села Ковардицы и в 25 км на северо-запад от райцентра города Муром.

История

В писцовых книгах 1629—1630 годов на погосте Старые Котлицы значится деревянная церковь во имя святого и чудотворного Николая с приделом в честь Покрова пресвятой Богородицы и церковь во имя Архангела Михаила… Приход села значится в окладных книгах 1676 года: с церковью Николая чудотворца, двор попа Стефана, дворы попов Бориса и Каллистрата, двор дьячков… Из надписи на старинном колоколе можно видеть, что в Старых Котлицах в 1690 году была церковь Пресвятой Богородицы Казанской и чудотворца Николая. Эта церковь, по свидетельству местной церковной летописи, в конце XVIII столетия переделана заново. Вновь устроенная деревянная церковь существовала в погосте до 1867 года. В этом же году устроена трапеза каменного храма и каменная колокольня; главный же храм окончательно устроен и освящен в 1879 году. На колокольне сохраняется старинный колокол с надписью 1690 года: «приложил сей колокол … в погост Старых Котлиц к церкви Пресвятой Богородицы Казанской и Чудотворца Николая… стольник Семен Матвеевич Коровков…». Престолов в новом храме три: главный — во имя святого Николая чудотворца, в трапезе теплой — в честь Казанской иконы Божией Матери и Архистратига Михаила. Приход состоит из Старых Котлиц и 11 деревень, в коих по клировым ведомостям числится 728 дворов, 2383 души мужского пола и 2426 женского. При церкви имелась церковно-приходская школа.

В конце XIX — начале XX века село входило в состав Новокотлицкой волости Муромского уезда.

С 1929 года село входило в состав Ново-Котлицкого сельсовета в составе Муромского района, позднее, вплоть до 2005 года, — в составе Савковского сельсовета.

Reaching 1,000 Live Publishers
Our company recently reached a milestone in launching the 1,000th live site across the Mediavine Publisher Network.
This was a true team effort, but one that wouldn't have been possible without the contributions of Brad Hagmann, who joined Mediavine last winter.
Working countless hours to streamline strategies and manage our growth, and making sure every last publisher is taken care of, Brad deserves special recognition.
Whether he's launching new sites, solving problems we didn't know existed or troubleshooting endless technical issues with publishers, Brad is fantastic at what he does.
On an equally exciting note, Mediavine is proud to announce that we are commemorating our 1,000th publisher milestone with a new initiative, the MVP Loyalty Bonus:
Every year, when a site reaches its anniversary, we will issue a bonus payment. On the 1st anniversary of going live with Mediavine, the publisher will receive 1% of the net earnings from the previous year as an additional payment. In year 2, 2%. In year 3, 3%. In year 4, 4%.
The MVP Loyalty Bonus will continue to increase until a publisher reaches their fifth year, when it caps at 5%.

The air freshener business is a highly lucrative market that rakes in hundreds of millions of dollars per year for specialty shops and retailers. Exotic scents in the form of candles, sprays and plug-in gels line store shelves for customers to buy and rid their homes of unwanted odors, but the only alternative for the unpleasant smells of the family car are spray-mist pumps or the trusty freshener dangling from the rear-view mirror.
At Green Dot we know how to incorporate scents and fragrances into the matrix of eco-friendly biopolymers. We can blend liquids, powders, or fibers, into the matrix to make a plastic with a very long-lasting scent. The fragrance could be anything from essential oils, to spices, to fibrous herbs.
One concept would be to produce a scented compound to be formed into a stylish shape for use in the car interior – perhaps a key chain, floor mat, dashboard doo-hickey, or spinning air vent pinwheel. Many different fabrication techniques could be used, including molding, extrusion, die cutting, or origami folding.
Perhaps, this air freshener product could be sold at auto parts stores, given away as promotional items, offered as branded item by specialty retailers, or as an added feature on other auto accessories.

Get Shorty Film Review
Barry Sonnenfeld
Danny DeVito, Delroy Lindo, Gene Hackman, John Goodman, John Travolta, Rene Russo
The ViewAuckland Review
Review byMatthew Turner18/10/2000
Five out of five stars
'Look at me…. Look at me the way I'm looking at you'. Sonnenfeld's screen adaptation of Elmore Leonard's cult classic sees Chili Palmer (Travolta), a loan shark with mob connections straight out of Miami who ends up in L.A. with a taste for the movies.
Palmer, with a gift for captivating people's attention, meets Harry Zimm (Hackman), a b-movie director with a gambling problem and even bigger problem by way of investor-cum-mobster Bo (Lindo).
They plan to get Zimm's dream screenplay onto the screen with leading man Martin Weir (DeVito) with the assistance of a fine-looking Russo as Karen Flores an ex-b-movie star.
In a role that could easily have been written with him in mind Travolta is cool, calm and simply sublime. Strictly in-tune with Leonard's 1984 novel the script is as snappy and nothing is lost in this well polished comedy.
DeVito, originally intened to play Palmer, is slick as the self-centred a-list movie star desperately wanting be 'bad' and Russo is well-cast as the sexy side-kick to Palmer.
An award winning film that is thoroughly entertaining, one that you can watch again, and again, and ….. Leonard has a sequel, so let's hope they're all up for it!

The top of the Shard will be the focus of a nightly light show each day until New Year's Eve between 5pm and midnight.
Developer Irvine Sellar said: "The Shard has become a beacon for modern London, and is globally recognised as an emblem of our capital.
"We wanted to create an unprecedented installation that takes an architectural icon and turns it into a piece of public art as a gift that every Londoner can enjoy during the festive season.
"Shard Lights reflects the diversity and energy of our wonderful city and will put us on a par with the celebrations in global cities like Paris, New York and Sydney."
The show has been designed by Jason Bruges Studio. He said: "Shard Lights will create a theatre in the sky, and it will be a prominent feature of the London skyline for the twelve days of the project.
"It has been an honour to work on this project for such an iconic and internationally recognised building."
Tenants of The Shard and The News Building along with the management of the London Bridge Quarter estate have raised more than £8,000 for the Evelina London Children's Hospital this Christmas.
The money will go towards a new state-of-the-art mobile sensory unit, as well as gifts for children who are unable to be at home this Christmas.
The hospital's medical director Sara Hanna said: "The children and their families who live in Lambeth and Southwark are especially important to the Evelina London.
"There is a long tradition of care specifically for children in this area. We are really pleased to be supported by the local people and businesses and look forward to using their kind donations to make things better for the children we look after. Thank you for supporting us."


Rice Crispy Treats - yea! I've expressed my extreme love for Rice Crispy treats in previous blogs so there is no need to be redundant. Rice Crispy Treats are not only delicious, they're also one of my favorite mediums for dessert creativity. I've formed them into interesting shapes (remember the starfish?), cut them with cookie cutters and even colored them to fit the occasion.
I don't consider myself and especially creative person. (My forte is borrowing someone else's great idea and running with it.) Pinterest is one of my new favorite places to get creative inspiration - to get my creative juices flowing. That is exactly where I found this idea for Rice Crispy Treat pumpkins. I saw a picture of a similar idea - I took the idea and made it my own. The result? Amy's Rice Crispy Treat pumpkins.
These are my very simple instructions for these Fall inspired treats.
Melt marshmallows, butter and orange food coloring in saucepan.
Use cookie cutter to cut leaves.
Roll the scraps into thin "snakes".
Gently slide off the pencil to maintain shape.
Press a tootsie roll into the center of each pumpkin to make a stem and then add leaves and tendrils. Place on waxed paper to cool.
I wrapped up one of the pumpkin rice crispy treats to give to a friend.
There you have it, a perfect little treat for a Fall party, a classroom of students or for your own family.

How the PropTiger team wowed Rupert Murdoch
By Mansi Taneja
Last updated on: November 30, 2014 17:24 IST
With a team of over 500 in Noida, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata and Ahmedabad, PropTiger.com is a one-shop solution for property purchases.
At a time when most real estate companies in the real world are struggling to raise money, one company in the virtual world is bucking the trend.
In just three years, PropTiger.com, an online real estate portal started by friends Dhruv Agarwala, Kartik Varma and Prashan Agarwal, has managed to raise $44 million, or about Rs 270 crore (Rs 2.7 billion), in funding from various sources.
The website's biggest triumph came early this week when American media mogul Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp announced that it had picked up 25 per cent stake for about $30 million, or Rs 183 crore (Rs 1.83 billion), in the company.
With that, Agarwala and Varma, who were classmates at Harvard Business School, and Agarwal, an alumnus of Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpur, managed to pull ahead of a pack of websites pursuing the same business of online property listing.
What sets them apart, says Agarwal, is the wider focus.
Unlike other websites that serve merely as an online directory of property for sale, PropTiger.com allows a potential buyer to access additional information.
"Lack of accurate information is a major challenge for home buyers," says Agarwal.
"Since inception, we have made a significant investment in ensuring quality of data and introduced multiple data-led innovations such as livability scores to compare properties in a neighbourhood, a property portfolio tracker to keep a watch on performance of property investments and up-to-date construction and neighbourhood pictures."
With a team of over 500 in Noida, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata and Ahmedabad, the portal is a one-shop solution for property purchases.
This has underlined the company's success in finding investors.
In the first round of funding in 2011, it got $2 million from SoftBank, Horizen Ventures and a few angel investors. In 2012, it received another $5 million from SAIF Partners and Accel Partners.
In addition, the existing investors -- SAIF Partners, Accel Partners and Horizen Ventures -- have also agreed to pump in another $7million over the next few years.
So far 10,000 properties worth over $1 billion have been sold through PropTiger.com, with nearly 40 per cent of its traffic coming from mobile applications.
Before starting PropTiger.com, Agarwala was CEO of GE's infrastructure business in India.
He also led institutional sales for GE in the country.
He holds a bachelor's degree in materials science from Northwestern University, a master's from Stanford University and an MBA from Harvard. Agarwal too has formerly worked at GE.
Agarwala's first business enterprise was a financial advisory firm called iTrust that he started in 2006 along with Varma.
The idea of a property website struck them after they realised that there weren't many websites catering to people who were looking at property as an investment.
In 2011, they sold iTrust to the Karvy Group and decided to focus on real estate instead. While Varma was a co-founder, he is no longer actively involved with the property business.

We really try to be impressed with the schemes at this brand although we do find ourselves wrestling with it a little when we walk passed. This scheme is certainly one of their better ones although motifs such as Stars really do turn us off immediately. The concept itself consists of several layers which at a certain view point join together to complete the image. Great concept but really.....Stars.....really?


There is no need to look for codecs since one pack is all that you need. For example, Combined Community Codecs Pack is the "goto" solution when you need filters to encode or decode files. Access the download page of the application and then save the installation package. Double click to start the installation and configure the things if you know or leave them be as their are.
Restore your PC and Windows Media Player will be able to open many audio and video files.
Note: The pack also contains some video players as well. You can use them to play your files if you find Windows Media Player slow or unresponsive.

Artist 2 Artist show will celebrate the music of James Taylor
JON WOODHOUSE
For The Maui News
jonwoodh@gmail.com
"I'm a huge James Taylor fan,"said Alx Kawakami. "I try and model my songwriting and how I play after James Taylor. He has so many hits. I'll play a bunch of them. It's going to be so exciting." Kawakami will perform with Henry Kapono during the Artist 2 Artist show at MACC's McCoy Studio Theater at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
If you heard a recent song by Alx Kawakami on the radio, you might wonder for a moment whether you were hearing new music by James Taylor or Jason Mraz, because this Oahu-born musician has a gift for composing catchy, memorable pop songs that are influenced by Taylor and Mraz.
"The influences on my music are C&K, James Taylor, John Mayer, Jason Mraz, and Jack Johnson," says Kawakami. "It's got that acoustic pop, folk style, a mix of everything."
While living in Los Angeles a few years ago, Kawakami had the opportunity to work with Grammy Award winning producer, Ken Caillat (Fleetwood Mac), who began calling him the "Hawaiian James Taylor."
On Friday, he will perform with Henry Kapono for a special Artist 2 Artist show in the MACC's McCoy Studio Theater, which will celebrate Taylor's music.
"I'm a huge James Taylor fan," he continues. "I try and model my songwriting and how I play after James Taylor. He has so many hits. I'll play a bunch of them. It's going to be so exciting."
Chris Duarte performs at Maui Coffee Attic Nov. 14
"You Can Close Your Eyes," is one of his Taylor favorites. "I listened to it a lot when I was away for college," he recalls. "I found out that my now wife would listen to that song when she was little to help her go to sleep. That song means more to me now."
A Hoku Award-winning musician, Kawakami has previously performed with Kapono in "The Songs of C&K" show at the MACC, and was a featured artist on "The Songs of C&K" album, singing "Sunflower," in a breezy, Jack Johnson style.
"I put a group together with Blayne (Asing), Alx and Johnny Valentine," Kapono previously reported. "Alx added a new flavor to 'Sunflower.' "
Recently presenting a memorable Artist 2 Artist show with Jerry Santos at the MACC, Kapono has been debuting songs from his latest work in progress, a "re-imagined" album of new interpretations of classic songs including the Beatles' "Blackbird," Bobby Hebb's "Sunny," "Fever," made famous by Peggy Lee, and the Everly Brothers' "Let it Be Me."
"I've known Henry a long time," Kawakami notes. "My dad used to play with C&K when they got back together in the '90s. We reconnected a couple of years ago and our styles really melded together. The good part is playing the classic C&K music. They were my favorite band growing up. I knew all of their songs. When Henry first asked me to jump up on stage and play a C&K song, I had a whole list because I learned them since I was 10."
Picking up ukulele at two he eventually started taking lessons from the legendary teacher Roy Sakuma. After becoming one of Sakuma's "super keikis," he took lessons from one of his idols, Jake Shimabukuro.
Before pursuing a solo career, he composed songs and performed with the award-winning, contemporary Hawaiian family band ManoaDNA, with DNA standing for Dad, Nick and Alx.
Their first three albums generated seven Na Hoku nominations, and won the 2007 Hawaii Music Award for Contemporary Album of the Year.
"We started it with my dad and my older brother Nick," he explains. "We'd play at family parties and we were asked to play at a restaurant, so we needed a band name and a repertoire, and the rest is history. We're still going strong."
They plan to release a new band album next year.
Kawakami's original compositions "Discover Aloha with Me," "Only in Hawaii," and "Our Hawaii," recorded by Manoa DNA, were featured as Hawaii Tourism Japan campaign songs, and became hits in Japan.
Recently returned from performing in Japan he reports, "it's my third trip this year. I used to go there all the time with ManoaDNA and my dad and brother. We still go there with the band."
Their most recent album, "Family Memories — The Best of Dad, Nick, and Alx — Manoa DNA," was nominated for a Hoku for Anthology of the Year in 2018.
As a solo artist in 2016, Kawakami released the well-received album, "Rise & Shine."
"We were playing around town in 2014 and I decided I needed to do something adventurous," he says. "I took a break and went to Los Angeles for a couple of years. I played solo and learned how to produce and write a little better. It was a great experience, which made me a more well-rounded musician. The adventure is still going strong."
* The Artist 2 Artist show with Henry Kapono and Alx Kawakami is presented in the MACC's McCoy Studio Theater on Friday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $35, $45, and $65 (plus applicable fees). A backstage "Hangin' with Henry" package is available before the show for $45 (plus applicable fees). Patrons must purchase a concert ticket to purchase the backstage ticket.
Making good on his word to raise money for environmental causes, Paul Simon has donated $1.1 million of his net proceeds from performing his two shows at Maui Arts & Cultural Center and at San Francisco's Outside Lands festival in August, to Maui and California environmental organizations.
Legendary hardcore punk band Black Flag will ignite Mulligans on The Blue on Saturday night. Best known for hits like 1978's "Nervous Breakdown," as well as "Rise Above" and "Six Pack" from 1981's "Damaged," the band was reformed earlier this year by vocalist Mike Vallely and founding guitarist Greg Ginn. They'll be joined by Gregory Moore on drums and Dale Nixon on bass.
Formed in 1976 in Hermosa Beach, Calif., by Ginn, the group's primary songwriter, and sole continuous member, Black Flag have released seven studio albums and two live ones. Vallely first sang with the band as a guest vocalist in 2003, before becoming the band's lead vocalist and touring with the band in 2014.
"I'm truly happy for the opportunity to be able to perform this music," Vallely reported. "It's a very substantial catalog of timeless songs, and a lot of great vocalists have sung these songs before me, and that both inspires and encourages me."
Influencing countless bands, Black Flag was acclaimed as the definitive Los Angeles hardcore punk group, who created a ferocious, edgy, and ironic amalgam of underground aesthetics and gut-pounding metal.
Former members included punk rock icon Henry Rollins, who first jumped on-stage to sing with the band during a New York performance, and fronted them from 1981 to 1986.
When Black Flag signed with a subsidiary of MCA Records, the label refused to release their album "Damaged," citing the content of the music was "anti-parent" and too dangerous and vulgar. Subsequently self-released by the band, it became known as one of the most influential punk rock records ever made, with Kurt Cobain including it in his list of top 50 albums of all time.
* Black Flag play Mulligan's on the Blue on Saturday. Doors open at 6 p.m., show at 7. Tickets are $39.50 in advance, with a $5.50 increase day of show. Tickets available at www.bampproject.com, www.eventbrite.com, Mulligans on the Blue, and One Eighty Maui.
Texas blues rocker Chris Duarte performs at the Maui Coffee Attic on Nov. 14. He will be joined by Vince Esquire and Beth Lee.
The Austin-based musician cites Stevie Ray Vaughan and John Coltrane as prime inspirations. Named Best New Talent in Guitar Player's 1995 Reader's Poll, he finished fourth in the magazine's Best Blues Guitarist category behind Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, and B.B. King.
Reviewing his latest album "The Fan Club," Rock and Blues Muse noted that Duarte has a, "well-deserved reputation for blazing honky-tonk style SRV-esque blues."
"I'm here to try and further my craft and to try to play better than I did the night before," Duarte told Rock and Blues Muse. "That's what gives me solace because I'm still out there trying to get better. That's my goal in life, not just to get better and better, but to have more peace with myself for my accomplishments and my efforts toward reaching that nirvana in music."
Admission is $30 and $20. Duarte will also lead a guitar workshop on Wednesday at 5 p.m. for $35.
