That verb is catification. The creation of a feline-friendly environment catering to a cat's natural instincts to climb and perch, rest and play. A "cats only" club whose members own their own space.
Curious about catifying? Then, consider these suggestions.
Since felines are famous for being "busy bodies", keep them happily busy by giving them a clear view of the world outside their favorite window. Create a lookout point for them using a window seat or perch, a strategically situated shelf or bookcase. One note of caution: the sight of outdoor cats – whether neighborly or feral – may unsettle some indoor cats. Should yours be one of them, find a different window or an equally acceptable alternative.
Expand their world vertically and horizontally by erecting multi-perched and multi-leveled cat trees or by installing specially designed cat shelves, which, when connected, will form a veritable "cat highway." This allows cats in a multi-cat household to get along more amicably since they can a) claim their own special spots without having to "time share" and b) peer down from on high at the world below. This also encourages them to be more active and to exercise (both sorely lacking in too many indoor cats) by giving them something to aim for and somewhere to jump to.
Rather than concealing scratching posts for esthetic reasons, place them precisely where your finicky feline prefers them. They may be eyesores to you, but they're godsends for your fabrics and furniture, doorknobs, drawer handles and drapery pulls. Ensure that the scratching posts are extremely sturdy and provide horizontal, vertical, and inclined positions. Two additional benefits to scratching on these posts: cats stretch their back muscles and remove the outer sheaths of their nails.
Some cat behaviorists suggest the "plus one" rule, i.e., when determining how many litter boxes you need, count the number of cats you have and add one. One cat equals two boxes, and so on, each located in places of significance to THEM not YOU. And that usually means as close as paws-ible to you and YOUR favorite places, from couches and chairs, to coffee table and closets. Rather than engage in a cat fight, compromise by placing one litter box in your bathroom and the other near your cat's favorite window or door.
As supreme self-groomers, all fastidious felines will, not unreasonably, turn up their noses at "kitty bathrooms" that aren't equally as fastidious. To keep them from turning your carpets or floors into their pottying places of choice, use only those litter boxes specifically designed to fight odors. Ones that optimize natural air circulation, allowing wet litter to properly dry and discouraging the growth of the bacteria and fungus that fill the air – and your cat's nostrils – with their noxious fumes. The bonus for you? You won't have to change your cat's litter as often!
Eliminate the stress on your cat's whiskers caused by their brushing up against or being confined by the high sides of most food and water dishes. Because a cat's whiskers are long, fine and delicate, they are also extremely sensitive. Wide, low-sided dishes will allow your cat to lap and lick, feed and feast whiskers-and-pain-free.
Paws crossed that these simple solutions help to create the most catified, satisfied felines ever.
What would summertime be without Fourth of July celebrations and family reunions, backyard BBQs and porch, patio and pool parties? Whether held outdoors or indoors, whether with fireworks or fanciful decorations, feline guardians must NEVER let down THEIR guard.
1. Warn your guests to keep all alcoholic beverage holders (from glass and plastic to paper and styrofoam) out of reach of your cat. Alcohol can be very poisonous to pets, causing them to become weak or ill, fall into a coma due to respiratory failure, and possibly die.
The same applies to all non-alcoholic beverages (including soda, tea and coffee) because the caffeine they contain can cause rapid heartbeats, extreme agitation and muscle tremors in your cat.
And if a BBQ is on the menu, keep your curious cat away both from the heat and the sizzling, scintillating smells emanating from the barbecue grill.
While most cats won't voluntarily jump into water, they can easily and accidentally fall into a swimming pool when either chased (by a dog) or distracted (by the hubbub). Naturally good swimmers, they can't, however, climb OUT again without a ramp or a person's prompt, helping hand.
2. Should your party include pretty and perky party favors (such as firecrackers, miniature flags and sparklers, glow sticks, paper hats and poppers, balloons, streamers and confetti), keep them out of reach of playful paws and retrieve any fallen favors from the ground or floor as soon as you see them.
If swallowed, these same party favors can swiftly turn pernicious, potentially causing an obstructed digestive track, severe vomiting, dehydration, and possible surgery.
Because many cats have extremely sensitive ears, the sudden, startling sounds made by poppers and horns, firecrackers and noisemakers can be both frightening and unnerving. For this reason, it's wise to keep all fearful felines far from this form of fun and frolics.
3. Remind your guests that all table and plate scraps are off limits to your cat's inquisitive nose and inquiring mouth. Parties abound with unsafe temptations, including salted chips, nuts and chocolate, fat drippings, highly seasoned meats and dips that contain avocado, onion and garlic.
While some of these sweets and savories may merely cause mild stomach upsets, some can be highly toxic.
4. To be safe instead of sorry, provide for your cat's comfort beforehand by providing her with the protection and privacy of her own purr-sonal chill space. A quiet bedroom, far from the partying crowd or the explosion of fireworks, is ideal.
Supply your cat with "all the comforts of home" – including her cat bed, a scratching post or pad, and her favorite toys. Set down a bowl of cold, fresh water and spread assorted treats around. For additional calming, leave the TV on low or play some classical music to blunt the effects of the noise outside.
Place a note on the door warning your guests to please NOT enter the room or let your cat out.
Play peek-a-boo once in a while, or stay for a pet, a cuddle or a game to reassure yourself that your cat is content, and to remind her that you're always close by.
Pica (from the Latin term "magpie") is the term for a feline's affinity for eating anything that isn't FOOD. And although it appears most frequently in young cats, it can affect older cats as well.
Many cats may "nurse" on fuzzy items like wool, fleece and stuffed animals due to being weaned from their mothers too early, while others may "nurse" on their owners' arms, earlobes or hair instead. But when SUCKING progresses to EATING such items as shoelaces, string, paper, plastic (from grocery bags to shower curtains), elastic bands and electrical cords, then there's a pussycat problem. And its name is pica.
The ingestion of inedible and indigestible items is indeed cause for concern. Why? Because indigestible items can cause intestinal blockages that can be both extremely costly and potentially deadly.
Dietary deficiencies: When suffering from anemia, some cats may eat their kitty litter. And while eating SOME grass is normal for cats, eating large quantities of grass or the leaves of houseplants may indicate that something is missing from their diet. (This habit is also dangerous because many houseplants are either poisonous to cats or can cause them severe gastrointestinal upset).
Medical problems: Often associated with FeLV (feline leukemia) and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), pica may also be triggered by such conditions as diabetes or brain tumors.
Genetic predisposition: Wool "sucking", sometimes a precursor to pica, is seen more often in Siamese, Burmese and other "Oriental" cats.
"Compulsive pica", on the other hand, results from boredom due to a lack of physical and mental stimulation or is used by some cats as an attention-seeking mechanism.
Remove, hide or store the items your cat loves to eat and keep all play areas free of tempting and chewable "clutter." Consider it a form of constructive housecleaning.
Apply a pungent, non-toxic substance such as Bandguard or Bitter Apple to electrical and power cords to turn them from appealing to UNappealing.
Divert your cat's need to chew on and swallow dangerous objects by providing safer, more appropriate alternatives such as cat toys with inside pockets to hide tasty, edible treats.
Discard all toxic houseplants (refer to the ASPCA web site) or place a few small pots of grass or catnip on a ledge or other low surfaces for plant-eating cats to nibble on, while carefully monitoring their intake.
Create a consistent routine of active playtime with your cat to remove boredom or loneliness from the equation. Not only is playing together (from using cat wands and feather toys to interactive games and simple tricks) an essential bonding time for you both, but it also keeps your cat mentally stimulated and physically satisfied.
Consider training your cat to wear a harness, then go on walks together.
If possible, build a "catio", a safe outdoor enclosure where your cat can prowl, sit or curl up in a cat bed while keeping an inquisitive eye on the activities of the world outside.
But if, despite these efforts, your cat continues to eat inedible and indigestible items, seek out the advice of a certified applied animal behaviorist (CAAB).

What Moves You?: Georges Didi-Huberman's Arts of Passage and Pittsburgh Stories of Migration
Irimia, Alexandra;
Publisher: Scholarship@Western
Contemporary art historian, critic, and theorist Georges Didi-Huberman thinks of images not as static objects, but as movements, passages, and gestures of memory and/or desire. For the French "historian of passing images," as he has been called, "all images are migrants. Images are migrations. They are never simply local" (D2017). His book, Passer, quoi qu'il en coûte ("To Pass at Any Price"), co-written with the Greek poet and director Niki Giannari, takes on precisely the visual dynamics of passages, passengers, and passageways in the context of contemporary migration flows. In April 2018, only several months after the launching of the book, the Carnegie Museums in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, engage in a series of events and exhibitions celebrating and investigating the contemporary process of "becoming a migrant" in America. The challenging title of the series, What moves you?, points not only to the experiences of loss, encounter, and transformation that occur between the departure and the arrival of the migrant, but also to the presence of absence of an empathic affective response from the host culture. For the individuals whose identity becomes defined by their passage (homo migrans, to use a term coined by Didi-Huberman), passing over the American border may be a matter of survival. Their desire to pass through a wall of interdictions and restrictions moves not only the image in which it is reflected, and – obviously – the migrants themselves; through its visual embodiments, this desire also 'moves' some of the witnesses of this passage. My paper aims to present Didi-Huberman's most recent thoughts on the intrinsic nomadic character of the image (in general) and of photography (in particular), in the context of a photographic project that stands out among those proposed by Carnegie Museums. Entitled "Out of Many," the project consists of migration-related shots taken as recently as 2017 by a group of 5 photographers living and working in Pennsylvania: Brian Cohen, Scott Goldsmith, Nate Guidry, Lynn Johnson, and Annie O'Neill. Their selection of migration images, seen through the lens of Didi-Huberman's "nomadic image," have a strong potential to rekindle discussions on how art history deals with contemporary phenomena of American migration as reflected into photographic production.

Depicting Absence: Thematic and Stylistic Paradoxes of Representation in Visual and Literary Imagery
The article draws up an inventory of, and compares strategies for, the theoretical and critical treatment of the absence–presence interplay at stake in the literary and visual representations of absence. This brings to our attention a multiplicity of heterogeneous and, to a greater or lesser degree, marginal signify-ing phenomena that have in common patterns of disrupting and deviating from the standard conventions of creating and conveying meaning through figures of absence. Lacking a name for these disparate yet similar instances where meaning is created from empty signifiers, we have chosen to call them figural voids. This attempt to produce a critical inventory focuses on modern and contemporary approaches to the analysis of figures and figurations of absence in literature, visual arts, and cinema, relying on the works of Anne Cauquelin, Jean-Pierre Mourey, Philippe Le Roux, Maurice Frechuret, Bruno Duborgel, and Marc Vernet. Their theoretical positions stand in a variety of literary and artistic contexts that are seemingly disconnected yet can be brought together on the basis of their common affinity to figural voids. This calls for a comparative standpoint and can be illustrated with examples ranging across historical periods and disciplines: from Stoic writings to Alberto Moravia's Boredom, from Mallarmé's blank page to the controversial curatorial practices espoused by Yves Klein.

Canada's Missing and Murdered Indigenous People and the Imperative for a More Inclusive Perspective
Hansen, John G; Dim, Emeka E;
The National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) emerged to bring attention to the overrepresentation of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada. It has raised awareness about systemic racism and sexism as well as social and economic conditions experienced by Canada's Indigenous population. Yet, research shows that Indigenous males are the most likely to be murdered in Canada (Mulligan, Axford, & Soecki, 2016). Since Indigenous men are going missing and are murdered in disturbing numbers, and they are fathers, brothers, and sons to Indigenous women and girls, it is understandable that many in the Indigenous community wanted to include them in the inquiry. Our analysis explores how the MMIWG and discourses about inclusion and exclusion have been framed in ways that limit interpretations about the root causes of problems experienced by Indigenous people, especially when they exclude an important part of the Indigenous population—Indigenous males. We draw upon Indigenous perceptions of the inquiry and analyses of social norms and stereotypes in order to explore the conflicting positions and experiences associated with missing and murdered Indigenous people in Canada. We conclude by exploring the need for a more comprehensive inquiry. We recognize that a holistic model of inquiry that honours the voices of Indigenous communities is crucial to a proper investigation into missing and murdered Indigenous people in Canada.
"A Completely New Approach" to Indigenous Cultural Heritage: Evaluating the Queensland Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act
O'Neill, Mark E;
The Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 challenged the hegemony that Western, archaeological methodologies has held over Indigenous cultural heritage in Australia. By choosing to relinquish state control and authority over cultural heritage in favour of the expertise of Indigenous people, the Act created a unique and innovative heritage policy. Over the 10 years the Act has been in force, it has seen a variety of approaches adopted as part of myriad projects. This has created a mature field of practice for investigation and analysis. This article examines and critiques the Act to determine its successes and weaknesses. In doing so, it offers opportunities for other policy-makers to consider as part of policy review.

Michael and Suzanne were having their weekly coffee on Wednesday at a nearby cafe. Midway through their chat, Michael checked his phone and groaned with frustration.
Suzanne perked up a bit. Her friend Thomas, a freelance management consultant, came to mind.
Back at the office, Michael clicked through to Thomas's website on his phone. If he could hire a consultant to come in and help organize his sales team, it would make his life a lot easier. It would also make the business more money.
When Thomas' website finally loaded, it looked dated. It was one of those websites where you had to pinch your fingers to zoom in. The text was small and he had to scroll horizontally to read the copy. It was hard to read and it wasn't easy to tap on the links.
Michael hated websites like this. His companies' website was by no means special, but at least it worked well on phones.
Thomas sounded like someone who could help, but Michael didn't feel as though his website was professional.
Michael decided he would keep Thomas in mind but put off any hiring decisions until later.
If you have heard the term "responsive web design," then you're aware of a fairly recent shift in web design & development circles.
Although only a few years old, the term is already on it's last legs.
More people are browsing websites on their phones than desktops. They expect websites to fit the device they are working on.
It's already become the standard for websites to be responsive. Google has already penalized websites that aren't mobile-friendly.
If your website isn't responsive it's hurting both your traffic and your credibility.
It's no longer a bonus – it's a necessity.
When a visitors comes to your website, they are making judgments about you and your business.
As a freelance consultant, how others perceive you is important. This first impression is critical for positioning yourself as the expert in your field.
With more people browsing the web outside of desktops, you don't want to give them the perception that you are out of touch. A website that doesn't work on their device will do that.
This article will teach you the benefits of having a responsive consulting website. It will help you figure out whether your website is responsive, and what to do if it isn't.
If you use your website as more of an online business card instead of a lead generation machine (which, I would argue, is a huge mistake), you still want your website to be responsive.
Hiring managers may or may not troll the internet looking for consultants. But when they learn about you and receive a link to your website, they will be checking for credibility.
Your website is one of your most important marketing materials. Having a responsive website shows that you have updated and modernized your online presence. It immediately inspires more credibility and enhances your perception.
People are judging your business based on the design of your website. First impressions are 94% design related – so the look and feel of your website are the most important factors and it's not even close.
As a freelance consultant, this is especially important. They are not just judging your business, they are judging you.
If your website isn't responsive, that means it's outdated.
If you're presenting outdated marketing materials, that doesn't help set you up as an authority in your industry.
Having a responsive website helps ensure that your website is modern.
What does having a modern website mean for you, a freelance consultant? Credibility. A modern design is fresh, new, and more trustworthy.
Take this example an unresponsive website versus a responsive website….
Does the design on the left inspire credibility to you? No.
It's not responsive, and much harder to read and navigate than the example on the right.
Your website is many things, and one of those things is a credibility vehicle.
A modern, responsive design helps position your brand and services as more trustworthy and credible.
As demonstrated with Michael in the story above, unresponsive websites are hard to read and navigate.
The User Experience that your website provides is extremely poor if this is the case.
The most important aspects of your website's design are legibility and how easy it is for visitors to find what they are looking for.
Unresponsive websites are hard to read and hard to navigate. They violate the most important factors of your website's design.
If you want to position yourself as the trusted advisor to each person that visits your website, you want to provide them with a great user experience.
If someone is coming to your website to check out your articles or case studies, and it's hard for them to read your articles or case studies, you're making it difficult for them to see you as their trusted advisor.
With a responsive website, you are providing a better user experience for all your website visitors.
User experience means considering all your users. Whether they visit your website via their desktop, tablet, or phone – your website should be consistent.
With a responsive website, you will get more traffic.
Google penalizes websites that aren't responsive because they provide such a poor user experience.
To help their users find what they are looking for, Google wants to provide them with a list of the best options. Your website can't be the best option if your article or page won't work on their device.
So, Google is ruthless when it comes to using responsiveness as a ranking factor.
If you want to improve your search engine visibility and get more organic traffic, making your website more responsive is a good place to start.
With more traffic, you will get more inquiries and more leads.
With more inquiries and more leads, you will get more clients.
Responsive doesn't just mean works on phones as well. Responsive websites work on every device and browser. Whether someone visits your website on Safari with their iPhone or Chrome on their desktop, a responsive website works equally well on both.
Your designer should be testing your website to make sure it works across these all browsers and devices.
People are going to visit your website on all sorts of technology and resolutions. Creating a consistent experience for everyone will help you build trust with those who visit your website.
There are some different rules concerning your website on mobile. Google is planning to penalize website with what it considers "intrusive ads" on mobile sized screens.
If you do any sort of lead generation on your website, you may have a pop-up opt-in form.
You can leave this on for desktop users. Your designer or developer should have this disabled for mobile phones. On mobile, these pop-up intrudes on the user's experience. Enough so that Google will steer your readers towards other websites if you keep it enabled.
If Google deems your website as not mobile-friendly, then you were in trouble yesterday. They have already penalized websites that aren't mobile-friendly.
If you are looking for a quick solution, you can download my free high converting consultant landing page template. It works on all devices and browsers.
Otherwise, it's worthwhile to look into rebuilding your website.
Remember, your website is more than just your online business card.
Having a responsive website helps you control how other perceive you – and it tips the deck in your favor.

We're Inspired By What it truly means to be part of a global team
International business is on the rise at Hormel Foods
Mary Burich
When your mission is all about feeding the world, it makes sense to operate throughout the world. Hormel Foods has been doing it for a century, having formalized the endeavor in 1967 with the establishment of an international division. Today, the wholly owned subsidiary known as Hormel Foods International Corporation (HFIC) has a portfolio of 80-plus countries to its credit, and it's not slowing down.
In fact, when Hormel Foods Chairman of the Board, President and CEO Jim Snee spoke at the company's 2018 annual meeting, he promised a heightened focus on the company's "international presence" in order to grow the business and deliver optimal shareholder value.
Larry Vorpahl, for one, is delighted that his CEO has "agreed to bet on International." Larry serves as group vice president of Hormel Foods and president of HFIC. He believes firmly the subsidiary under his watch will experience above-average growth in both the short and long term. Indeed, it's already delivering above-average results.
Relatively small, the International segment accounted for $545 million – or 6 percent – of the Hormel Foods revenue in 2017, but if things go according to plan, that will change. "We're working for 10 percent growth on the top line and 15 percent growth on the bottom line," Larry says.
Larry Vorpahl, Hormel Foods group vice president and president, Hormel Foods International
They're ambitious goals that are rooted in reality. "If you think about international expansion in general, the gross domestic products around the world are growing faster [than the United States' GDP]. China is at 6.8 percent, the Philippines is at 8 percent. There are growing middle classes and a greater demand for convenience products that is outpacing the United States," Larry says.
Hormel Foods is not alone in its thinking. Many U.S. companies are adopting a strategy that looks beyond their country's borders, says Wharton Magazine, a publication of the University of Pennsylvania.
"For any business in today's world, not expanding internationally is practically a sin. Not only does such expansion provide diversification and additional revenue, it also exposes one to different methods of doing business. In addition, the U.S. business that expands overseas can benefit back home from increased cultural sensitivity, competitive intelligence, new opportunities and better management practices."
To Market. To Market.
There are three ways Hormel Foods brings its products to international markets, Larry points out.
The first is by exporting items produced in the United States. "That's where the business started," Larry says. The SPAM® brand and Hormel® chili, for example, are made in the U.S., and shipped overseas.
No one at Hormel Foods has logged more time in the International segment than Tim Barinka. The director of marketing and administration for Hormel Foods and vice president of Hormel Foods International has close to 30 years of history and experience in the company's operations outside of the United States.
"When I came in 1989, it was very much an export-driven business," he says. "Our business model was taking U.S.-made products and selling them overseas. We used U.S. formulas, U.S. packaging, U.S. advertising. And there was nothing wrong with that. It worked for us."
However, countries often have laws and guidelines in place, especially where meat is concerned. "There are barriers to entry," Larry says. "You need to have in-country manufacturing or find a partner who is there on the ground," he says.
That's where partnerships, in which Hormel Foods joins forces with an entity that is present in a specific country, come in. "This method began for us in the '70s," Larry says. "We started some partnerships in places such as Okinawa in Japan and San Miguel in the Philippines."
Sisig is a popular recipe in the Philippines using SPAM® products
The third way is through a multinational operation, where Hormel Foods has a wholly owned in-country operation. "That's where we do everything. China is a good example of that," Larry says.
Nothing Better Than Being There
The present-day goal of HFIC is to follow a multinational approach, as it has done in China. For 20 years, the company has built a business – and its brand – from the ground up. "It's our gold standard," Tim says. "We're in country with people and management teams who have a better understanding of customers and consumers."
Hormel Foods has three manufacturing facilities in China, including a new, state-of-the-art plant in Jiaxing that is poised to double its production capacity in China, even as it allows it to produce SPAM® products in country for the first time. The latter alone offers tremendous promise. China is a nation of 1.6 billion people. Meat consumption – especially of pork – is high; the canned meat category is the largest in the world.
Ground breaking for the plant located in Jiaxing, China.
"The new plant rivals anything we would have in the U.S., in terms of food safety and capacity," Larry says. "We used our expertise and know-how. We sent people over to the United States to learn the processes. It gives us the ability to grow into the future."
Bem-vindo ao Brasil
The Chinese operation is one of the segment's success stories, but it has been two decades in the making, Larry says. In a recent case of global expansion, Hormel Foods wanted to see results much sooner.
Tim, who oversees business development for the International segment, had been working on studies of three regions – Latin America, Asia Pacific and Africa – to help identify markets with the most potential. The exercise led to the 2017 acquisition of Cidade do Sol, owners of the Ceratti® brand, an 80-year-old Brazilian company known for its production of premium deli-meat products such as mortadella, sausage and salami for Brazilian retail and foodservice markets.
With that, Hormel Foods International had an instant presence in Brazil and the blossoming South American market, not to mention ownership of a company that has been experiencing double-digit growth numbers of late. It also allowed Hormel Foods to gain entry into what Larry describes as a "very restrictive country with a strong meat/protein industry and huge barriers to entry."
The move marked the first time Hormel Foods acquired a company outside of the United States specifically for the International segment. It's not likely to be the last.
"We'll look for other sizeable acquisitions that can be bolted on to give us some significant scale," Larry says.
Perhaps it goes without saying that operating outside of the United States poses challenges to Hormel Foods. "Every country has its own set of rules, ways of doing business, taxes and other things," Larry says. The company strives to conduct business in the language of the country it's in, so there's often a need for translators.
However, when it comes to employees, the company takes great pride in an approach that transcends borders.
For example, HFIC recently brought the Cultural Beliefs of Hormel Foods to all of its operations, with Ceratti being the latest to come on board. "It gets everybody in the company on the same page in terms of our language, mission, vision," Larry says.
What he and others have found is a universal language of fairness, empowerment and other values that define the 125-year-old company.
"Employees really like being part of Hormel Foods. They're happy to be part of who we are."

Movies are meant to be dramatic and educative. While entertainment is usually the primary objective of motion pictures, the audience always appreciates useful lessons that they can apply in their lives. Married couples benefit greatly from movies with marriage as one of the themes. Marriage is a journey that two people choose to undertake. They meet challenges along the way and hence have to look for sources of inspiration and guidance. Some movies offer lessons and guidance.
The movie "The Vow" is based on a real story about a couple who went through a traumatic event shortly after their wedding. The main characters are involved in car crash shortly after getting married. The woman losses part of her memory, and cannot remember the husband or anything pertaining to their life together. Being deeply in love with his wife, the husband fights to save their marriage, even though the wife still views him as a stranger.
Such faith and perseverance in fighting for something that one believes in is necessary in a marriage. The husband had faith in God, and in the end they rekindle their love affair. The events that transpired in this movie are a clear indication that God works miracles and that those who believe in him will always get their heart's desires.
Couples can use this lesson to overcome difficulties in their marriages. No matter how dire a situation is, one can always turn to God for help. It is hence necessary to have a personal relationship with God so that you can turn to Him in times of trouble.

Australia's prime ministers
Francis Forde
Francis Forde was the Prime Minister of Australia in 1945.
About Francis Forde
Born: 18 July 1890
Died: 28 January 1983
Partner: Veronica (Vera) Catherine Forde
Political party: Australian Labor Party
Image: NAA: A1200, L53754
Frank Forde was Australia's 15th Prime Minister. He served for only 8 days from 6 to 13 July 1945.
Forde was sworn in immediately after the death of John Curtin on 5 July 1945. His term ended after the Labor Party elected Ben Chifley as their new leader (and thus prime minister) on 12 July 1945.
Forde was the Labor member for the seat of Capricornia for 24 years. For 14 years, he was deputy leader of the federal parliamentary Labor Party, and for 9 of those years was deputy Leader of the Opposition.

The profession of athletic training has continued to emerge as a profession for both men and women over the last 50 years. The nature of the profession and the environment in which it exists may lead to sexual harassment by coaches, athletes/clients, administration, or other certified athletic trainers (ATC's). The purpose of this study was to determine the perception of sexual harassment, the prevalence of sexual harassment, and mechanisms in place to prevent sexual harassment in three professional environments of athletic training: college/university, high school, and sports medicine clinic.
The Modified VELMAC Sexual Harassment Questionnaire was distributed via email to certified athletic trainers currently working at either a college/university, high school, or sports medicine clinic in the National Athletic Trainer's Association's District 4 (n=226). One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and individual chi-square analysis were conducted. Results demonstrated that sexual harassment is not perceived to be a serious problem in athletic training regardless of the setting. The prevalence of sexual harassment in the form of a hostile environment (jokes by athletes or comments on appearance from coaches and athletes) is more likely in the college/university setting than at the high school or sports medicine clinic. Female ATC's are more likely to both perceive sexual harassment as a problem and experience it than male ATC's. The majority of the sexual harassment victims were more likely to confront the harasser than file a formal complaint as a mean of managing the hostile environment.

Tokyo Drifter/Branded to Kill
Tokyo Drifter
TOKYO DRIFTER and BRANDED TO KILL (Suzuki, 1966 and 1967)
(Yesterday, word broke that Seijun Suzuki had passed away on Feb 13 at the age of 93. I originally wrote this dual review on the occasion of Criterion's Blu-ray re-releases of two Suzuki titles from the early days of the Collection, "Tokyo Drifter" and "Branded to Kill," probably his two best-known films. It appears that re-watching both Suzuki joints inspired me to a more playful mood. Which sure sounds right to me.)
Seijun Suzuki doesn't often do establishing shots, and when he does they don't establish shit. Transitions? Listen, buddy, every cut is a transition of some kind and it's not Suzuki's fault if you can't follow it. Match cuts? Kind of you to ask, but as one killer in "Tokyo Drifter" (1966) says to another, "Because you were kind, you'll have to go to hell!"
I exaggerate a bit, but let's just say that seamless continuity isn't a priority for Suzuki and, also, I wasn't exaggerating at all.
One of the greatest pleasures of watching a Seijun Suzuki's best films is the comforting knowledge that you cannot possibly know what image you're going to see next. A killer preparing for his climactic showdown with the enemy may suddenly decide to bounce a balloon around his apartment. Two may men may suddenly walk into a bathroom locked arm-in-arm. A car chase begins and before you've figured out who's driving or if there's even another car involved in the chase, it's already over and we're back at the nightclub. Are those two gunmen engaged in a shootout to the death or are they just two guys who happen to like guns? Are they even in the same town? Screen geography, in Dude-speak, is just, like, you opinion, man, and when Seijun Suzuki wants your opinion, he'll tell you what it is. And you still might not understand. But you'll love every second of it.
Unless you don't. One of the more irritating aspects of watching Seijun Suzuki's best films is the discomforting knowledge that you cannot possibly know what image you're going to see next. The barrage of disorienting, off-kilter compositions can lead to sensory overload and exhaustion exacerbated by the lack of the familiar guideposts provided by more traditionally and coherently structured narratives. I sometimes wonder if Suzuki could have made the greatest 60-minute films of all-time. Not that he dawdles - "Tokyo Drifter" clocks in at a brisk 82 minutes, and "Branded to Kill" (1967) at just 91 – but his Red-Bull-charged cinema can lead to a nasty crash and burn, a deflationary death by a thousand little catharses, so be careful not to overdose. Unless you want to.
"Tokyo Drifter" and "Branded to Kill" represent Suzuki at his creative peak. He had made a name for himself furiously cranking out three or four B-movies per year at Japan's Nikkatsu Studios in the late '50s and early '60s, drawing particular attention after the success of increasingly kinetic and violent films like "Youth of the Best" (1963) and "Gate of Flesh" (1964). As Suzuki's creative control over his project grew so did his penchant for formal, genre-bending experimentation, and so did the studio's frustration with a director it couldn't easily pigeonhole or comfortably market. Can't you just make us a nice, normal movie?
Sorry, Mr. Studio Executive, I'm afraid you'll have to go to hell! Suzuki kept exploring previously uncharted stylistic territory, skirting the boundary between commercial and avant-garde (with a bullet), until "Branded to Kill" proved to be a breaking point for Nikkatsu. The studio chose to rid itself of this troublesome director, canning Suzuki for alleged insubordination, upbraiding him for his "incomprehensible" films, leading to a protracted legal battle and a decade-long blacklist that terminated the most prolific part of Suzuki's career, though he would gamely bounce back with a few late-career gems, my favorite being his underrated tour-de-force "Pistol Opera" (2001).
"Tokyo Drifter" and "Branded to Kill" are sometimes thought of as a paired unit, though they are actually radically different films, the first a neon-jazz color explosion. Both offer bare-bones distillation of yakuza plots. The main character in "Tokyo Drifter" (Tetsuya Watari) becomes an underworld target while staying loyal to his master; the protagonist in "Branded to Kill" (Joe Shishido, a Suzuki regular) is currently the third-best assassin in Japan (apparently they keep meticulous rankings) and he'll do anything to move up the charts, but finds it difficult to climb the rankings after he screws up a job. Also he really, really likes to sniff boiling rice.
But enough about the plot and the characters and other irrelevant nonsense. Suzuki's best films are about outrageous set designs, endless fracturing of the visual field, frames nested within frames, and maddeningly repeated audio cues. Pure audiovisual pleasure, if that's your definition of pleasure. Suzuki's "discovery" by non-Japanese audiences took far too long, but once cinephiles around the globe started mainlining him, they also discovered there was nowhere else to get a fix quite as potent. Plenty of viewers first got hooked with either "Tokyo Drifter" or "Branded to Kill" and not a one has ever regretted the decision.
Criterion's SD releases of "Tokyo Drifter" and "Branded to Kill" way back in another century were two of their more disappointing efforts. The details aren't worth going into nearly twenty years later, but at this point they only qualify as collector's items or for "emergency viewing only." The 2011 Blu-ray upgrades both represent massive improvements. For one thing, they're both 2.35:1 anamorphic transfers, like they're supposed to be!
Brighter, whiter colors in the new high-def "Tokyo Drifter"still look like they "bleed" a little bit, but the color arrangements in the film are so audacious and over the top, it's hard to judge exactly how accurate this transfer is. Let's just say it's wild, man. And a whole lot more vivid than the old SD. The black-and-white image in "Branded to Kill" has a lot more depth and detail than the old SD (it's nowhere close) though there are still a few modest signs of print source damage evident in a few places. But nothing troubling.
Both films get LPCM mono mixes, and both sound a bit thin and tinny, perhaps because they were meant to in the first place. The "haunted" sound of some of the effects in "Branded to Kill" is actually quite effective. Optional English subtitles support the Japanese audio for both films.
Tokyo Drifter:
Criterion has imported a March 1997 interview with Suzuki (20 min.) from the old SD release. It was recorded at the Nuart Theater in Los Angeles during a retrospective of the director's work, and it's quite engaging. Suzuki exhibits a pragmatic streak, speaking more about business matters than creative decisions, though he is justifiably pleased to speak about how important it is for the director to be the only person who knows what to expect in a film.
Criterion also presents a newer interview with Suzuki and assistant director Masami Kuzuu (2011, 12 min.) in which they discuss the production of "Tokyo Drifter." Suzuki is on oxygen during the interview, but is still quite sharp and entertaining. A Trailer (3 min.) is also included.
The 1999 SD had slim liner notes by critic Manhola Dargis. The 2011 re-release comes with a 12-page insert booklet featuring as essay by critic Howard Hampton.
Branded to Kill:
The extras are similar to the ones on Tokyo Drifter. Another excerpt from Suzuki's Nuart interview (14 min.) is imported from the 1999 SD. The disc also includes a newer interview with Suzuki and Masami Kuzuu (2011, 12 min.) and a newer interview with star Joe Shishido (2011, 11 min.) A Trailer (3 min.) is also included.
Missing from the old 1999 SD is a Poster Gallery from the collection of composer John Zorn who also wrote the slim liner notes for that release. Those notes have been replaced in the 2011 release with a chunkier 16-pager insert booklet featuring an essay by critic, filmmaker, and festival programmer Tony Rayns.
There was nobody quite like Seijun Suzuki. And there never will be.

Six games called off as Covid wreaks havoc on Premier League: League statement says matches will 'continue where safely possible' as calls for break grow
See Also Rafael Nadal tests positive for Covid
The Premier League on Thursday postponed six more matches due to the wave of coronavirus infections hitting Britain, but said it intended to "continue its current fixture schedule where safely possible" as calls for a circuit break intensified.
Leicester's scheduled match against Tottenham was postponed just hours before kick-off on Thursday.
Five more games scheduled for this weekend have also been postponed due to outbreaks at Manchester United, Brentford, Norwich, and Watford.
United's home clash with Brighton, Brentford's trip to Southampton, Watford's meeting with Crystal Palace, and West Ham's fixture against Norwich have all been called off along with Leicester's visit to Everton.
For the second consecutive day, record numbers of Covid-19 cases were recorded in Britain as the Omicron variant runs riot, with fears growing that the crisis could derail the football season.
Brentford boss Thomas Frank led calls for a firebreak of at least a week to allow the infection rate to stabilize.
""Covid cases are going through the roof at all Premier League clubs. Everyone is dealing with it and having problems," said Dane.
"To postpone this round and also the Carabao (League) Cup round (next week) would give everyone a week at least, or four or five days to clean and do everything at the training ground so everything is clean and you break the chain."
However, the Premier League insisted games will continue where it is safe to do so and defended the rationale of postponements on a case-by-case basis rather than when a threshold of positive cases is passed.
"While recognizing a number of clubs are experiencing Covid-19 wreaks outbreaks, it is the League's intention to continue its current fixture schedule where safely possible," the Premier League said in a statement. "The health and wellbeing of all concerned remain our priority."
Brentford, Watford, and Leicester have all closed their training grounds to contain the outbreak, while Norwich and Manchester United were unable to field a side due to positive cases and injuries.
"(The Premier League board) will assess a number of factors, including the ability of a club to field a team; the status, severity, and potential impact of the Covid-19 wreaks outbreak at the club; and the ability of the players to safely prepare for and play the match," the league's statement added.
Two matches did take place on Thursday in front of full crowds as Liverpool beat Newcastle 3-1 and Chelsea were held 1-1 by Everton despite outbreaks at Liverpool and Chelsea.
Both clubs are among those still due to play over the weekend.
Chelsea was without Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner, and Callum Hudson-Odoi as well as injured left-back Ben Chilwell due to positive tests.
"I will not get involved in this sports politics," said Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel. "Other games get canceled, ours didn't so we have to do our best to win it."
Liverpool shrugged off the loss of Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho, and Curtis Jones but the status of their trip to Tottenham on Sunday will depend on how the outbreak is contained in the coming days.
Another 10 matches have been postponed in the English Football League (EFL) as the authorities urged players to get vaccinated or their booster shot against the virus.
The EFL, which runs the second, third, and fourth-tiers, said 25 percent of players were still refusing to get the job based on their data from November with just 59 percent double vaccinated.
According to The Times, the level of unvaccinated players is aggravating the crisis as they still have to isolate themselves after coming into close contact with someone who has tested positive.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp reiterated his call for players to ignore "lies and misinformation" around the vaccine.
"I follow the advice of smart, educated people who know their field because they've dedicated their lives to it and have studied it," the German said in his program notes ahead of Thursday's match.
"Ignore those who pretend to know. Ignore lies and misinformation. Listen to people who know best. If you do that, you end up wanting the vaccine and the booster."

Designer Moira Spencer took an unconventional route to her career and has found herself in an equally unusual niche.
"I think I'm the only designer in the UK doing exactly what I'm doing," she laughs. In addition to her unique specialism (of which more later), Moira offers a full domestic interior design service.
"I've always been interested in colour, and I'm a keen watercolour artist," she says. "I'd always dabbled a bit but took it up again seriously about seven years ago. I had a lot of success – I was exhibited, and sold some paintings, and some of my work was published, which gave me confidence. At the same time, I was doing up my own house and got so many positive comments about what I was doing. I'm not a beige person, and I used lots of bold colour and texture. The response I got from friends was what really got me thinking I could do this as a career.
Moira set up Glove & Lotus, a design company with a difference. Using her experience working on martial arts and sports magazines, she's offering a design service to sports clubs and gyms alongside her more conventional work.
"Organisations like martial arts clubs don't realise how much they have to offer," she says. "They're so diverse and should really be capitalising on their USP. They need to develop their own style, from the matting to the logo. For martial arts clubs, 70% of the clientele are normally children and young people, and that's often not factored into the design.
I like to design a product that engages as many senses as possible, from touch to smell. If you walk into a gym and all you can smell is rancid sweat, that's pretty off-putting! I'd always recommend something like incense burning to suggest a sense of place, as smell is so strongly linked to memory.
"The same ideas carry forward into a domestic space, as well. A designer will look at the way you use your space and take an objective view – when you live in a house, it's surprisingly difficult to see how you could use your rooms differently! You might have a problem space you can't think what to do with, or a particular piece of furniture you're keen to incorporate.
If you haven't considered using a design service, it's much more accessible that you might think, and you can start at any level you want. A consultation need only cost a few hundred pounds, and you can have as much involvement as you want. I offer everything from a simple mood board to kick start your own ideas, to a full end-to-end service. I can show you samples and swatches, give ideas for window treatments, wallpaper or flooring, mock up wall elevations, draw up lighting schematics, source suppliers and offer trade discounts.
"In my experience, people are frightened of colour and they really shouldn't be – after all, paint isn't permanent!
Your home is the one place you can really express your personality, so go with your gut instinct. If you love purple, go for it, but maybe just add some touches to start with. There's always a way to inject the right amount of colour to create the mood you want. Colour has a huge effect on mood, so don't pick it for how it looks but rather for how it makes you feel. Use texture in rugs, throws, lampshades, even on the walls.
For more information about Moira, please visit www.gloveandlotus.com.
Love the bold use of colors and patterns. It makes a statement and it's beautiful! Wow!!
Love the push you provide for people to decorate out of the box so-to-speak!
what an interesting read Rachel! love her style and story.
So talented! Love the use of texture and color on the walls, especially. Wall paper is making a big comeback in the U.S. because of all the interesting new materials. There are more options than ever for a personalized environment.
Thank you, this is just what I need. We always talk about adding bold colours but always end up neutral. As you said, no one comes in and says they love the beige.
Interesting to read about Moira's background and her approach to design. She is so right about smells, too – they really do trigger memories, don't they?
Really interesting area to focus on, the sports and leisure industry. Commercial design is certainly more in demand, so it's good to see people bringing a design eye to an area that's not often considered!
I have never been frightened of color! I have gone overboard because of that though, but you can just repaint if you don't like it so it's not permanent! I love the way the blues go together in this room though, gorgeous!
I'm very careful with colors and prefer pastel shades. I've seen so many examples in different interiors that colors used don't go along very well with each other. Using more neutrals is usually safe option.

A Statement from Hawke Media: "We Cannot Rest"
Our hearts weigh heavily with the recent, ongoing, and institutional tragedies that the black community faces too often. George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor could have been our friends, neighbors, family, or team members who happened to be born black in this country and indeed many parts of the world.
We stand with them in solidarity and we stand against the systemic and putrid racism that led to events like this and countless more. This movement is not for us to co-opt.
We move to amplify the voices of the men and women of color and their allies who cry out for relief, for change, and for justice.
See these protests as a response by people who have experienced collective centuries of generational injustice pushing back against forces that would have us maintain a status quo that promotes the comfort of some over the humanity of many.
Our communities are alight with the rage of those who want a more equitable world. Grief and loss are being felt by all.
Until accountability has become a core component of our society, we cannot rest.

Comic Creator Michael Dougan
Michael Dougan
(b. 1958, USA)
Michael Dougan a Seattle-based cartoonist, originally from East Texas. From the late 1980s through the mid-1990s he published his largely autobiographical stories in in anthologies such as Weirdo and Drawn & Quarterly. He also did commercial work for Entertainment Weekly, and contributed to Dennis Eichhorn's autobiographical comic book series 'Real Stuff'. Collections of his work, such as 'East Texas: Tales from behind the Pine Curtain' (1988) and 'I Can't Tell you Anything' (1993) are a showcase for Dougan's talent for storytelling. Among the stories included is the famous 'Chicken Trilogy', his ongoing war with vehicles, and a very weird but compelling tale about his job in an ice cream parlor. Michael Dougan has also been working on an animated cartoon, 'The Dangwoods', for MTV's Liquid Television.

First of all, the list is sorted by total number of points for this league cycle (highest at the top). This is usually enough to determine the sequence of players. However, if two players have the same total score, then total number of games played in the league (in total, not just for this cycle), then first name and last name and finally (since there's theoretically a chance that there will still be two players with the same 'position' in the list) the internal 'userid' of the players are all used to determine a sequence of the players that can't result in two players 'drawing' for positions. As with all matters relating to the administration of the leagues, the league administrator can override any of these parameters.

Next take a look at the video and watch the demo.
Listen carefully to the words he uses in his presentation. He reminds me a lot of Steve Jobs, that other entrepreneur who invented the iPhone.
Then read the story and enjoy.
Jim Marggraff is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of livescribe.com.
For more than 20 years, Jim has created new products to help others achieve their goals.
He was one of the first programmer when the Internet all started to come alive.
He became a successful entrepreneur when he joined LeapFrog Enterprises.
If you have a child like I do, you know that Leapfrog sells interactive books for children to learn how to read and write with an electronic pen. Go try them at your local toy store.
Jim helped propel the company from $31 million to $680 million annual sales in five years.
As the inventor of the LeapFrog FLY Pentop computer and creator of the globally renowned LeapPad Learning System, Jim sold over $1 billion dollars of LeapPads and educational content worldwide.
He also co-founded Explore Technologies (acquired by LeapFrog), StrataCom (acquired by Cisco), and now has founded Livescribe.
Jim invented the Fly pen. It's an ideal tool for teaching the 8- to 14-year-old tween market everything from algebra to Spanish.
It's so impressive that Disney, Upper Deck, and Warner Bros. have already signed on to develop games for the device.
Now he's done it again with the livescribe pen.
Did you notice Jim's voice when he presented his new baby, the livescribe pen?
It's perfectly modulated, precisely inflected, with no discernible accent. Every syllable is cleanly enunciated. It almost sounds digital. He's had practise.
Also did you notice the use of the words, "come by and stop by our stand." Very suggestive, don't you think?
The Livescribe pen is perfect for your kids, high school and university students. How about journalists who want to capture every word Obama says at his press conferences.
Did you also notice the added supplies you need to buy such as notepads and memory?
1-Test your product. 2-Make it practical and useful. 3-Make your customers come back for more supplies. 4-Practise your sales presentation.
Ah the sweet sounds of Ka Ka-ching!
P.S. Try this product, it gives you the strategies to do for you the same thing.


Yeezy Mafia is known for providing information you don't find no where else for the biggest adidas drops.
For the mock up, we have a Black rubber outsole, White Boost midsole, and the upper mainly consists of Blue. The heel counter is done in Silver and the laces appear to be White rope laces.
Stay tuned for more details as they're revealed.


The process of doing something you enjoy is the important thing to focus on. Finishing is nice, but secondary. Do you ever feel let down by finishing a really good book? I do. I wonder what can I read next that will be as good as what I just finished. I sometimes experience the same thing with a quilt I really enjoyed making. For me, the making is more important than having a finished project – most of the time. I'm currently working on a quilt that I am really looking forward to being done with, but this is not usual for me.
Lynn, I understand about the process, but I never finish anything! I hear about all these people who make quilts and finish in a week or so, and me, it takes me over a year to finish one. I DO really enjoy the process, but if I don't at least consider finishing something then I will have the endless stack of UFO's in the house. The quilt I was working on on National Quilting Day is getting closer and closer to being finished, with a good plan for the rest of the quilt top, but no quilting plan (as of yet), but I have a good idea on the binding. (I'm a little ahead of myself probably).
I really like the image you created with Flame. Hope you tell us how you did it in the next podcast (if you already told us, I guess I need a refresher).
I just went to the flame website listed on the post debby. I just played around with the colors and settings. Maybe I'll remember to talk a little bit about it in the next podcast.


Our house is located near the port of Tinos island (2-5 hours trip by ship from Athens, depending on the port and the ferry you choose).
It has two bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with two single beds, a living-room with a bed-size sofa, a kitchen, a bathroom and a courtyard with shade, trees, lizards and a table area you will surely enjoy! It is a clean and cosy place to stay, ideal for a couple or family.
The house is a 10min walk from the port, 5min walk to the market,restaurants,bars etc, 10min walk to the buses and taxis going around the island, 10min walk to the nearest sandy beach, 20min by ship to Mykonos and Delos islands and easy access to most Cycladic islands.

Five killed in South Africa explosives truck accident
Four South African police officers and a motorist were killed on Thursday after a vehicle collided with a truck carrying explosives
Four South African police officers and a motorist were killed on Thursday after a vehicle collided with a truck carrying explosives on the main highway between Johannesburg and Zimbabwe.
Three other officers were seriously injured in the blast, which blew a crater in the middle of the motorway in the northern province of Limpopo and scattered debris over several hundred metres.
"A grocery truck collided with a truck carrying blasting cartridges and soon after the police arrived on the scene of the collision the cartridges went off," the government said in a statement.
The highway was closed in both directions.
Road use is the primary means of travel in Africa's largest economy. The government has introduced tough laws to clamp down on reckless driving and poorly maintained vehicles in an attempt to curb high accident rates.

Q: How to catch exception thrown during response model serialization I have bad business logic inside model classes generating exceptions but which are not caught by exception handling. Is it possible to catch exceptions that occur during the serialization operation of my model by controller code exception handling?
code example:
BrittleModel.cs
[DataContract]
public class BrittleModel
{
    private string peanutBrittle = null;

    [DataMember]
    public string PeanutBrittle
    {
        get
        {
            // if not set generates exception during serialization
            return peanutBrittle.ToString();
        }
        set
        {
            peanutBrittle = value;
        }
    }
}

api/brittle
    public HttpResponseMessage Get()
    {
        try
        {
            return Request
                .CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, new Models.BrittleModel());
        }
        catch
        {
            return Request
                .CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError, "Something went awry.");
        }
    }

actual response - exception message isn't "Something went awry."
<Error>
  <Message>An error has occurred.</Message>
  <ExceptionMessage>
    The 'ObjectContent`1' type failed to serialize the response body for content type 'application/xml; charset=utf-8'.

New challenge for Ferrari at 51st edition of the Daytona 24 hours
11:15 PM PST - 1/24/2013 Written By: Ferrari S.p.A.
This weekend sees the 51st edition of the Daytona 24 Hours, which dates back to 1966, although as far back as 1962, it ran as the Daytona Continental, the first three hour endurance race. It is a legendary event, run over a 5.73 km track using part of the high speed Nascar tri-oval, that features banked curves and a very twisty in-field street section.
This American weekend is significant for Ferrari which has always had close ties to Daytona: the Maranello marquee has taken overall victory twice, three over the shorter distance and eight class wins, the most famous coming in 1967, when it took a clean sweep of the podium, with a car that that one year later gave birth to the Ferrari 365 GT4, or as it is better known, "the Daytona." It is the ancestor to the current 458 Grand AM which was a winner in last year's American series, in which Ferrari took the Constructors' title in the car's debut season.
There are six Ferraris entered in the GT category in this race, which as usual is also the opening round of the Grand AM series, including two AIM Autosport cars, the Number 61 machine run in collaboration with the Canadian dealer, Remo Ferro, in the hands of the trio made up of Giancarlo Fisichella – Max Papis – Toni Vilander – Jeff Segal. Also at the wheel of a Ferrari is one of the stars of Nascar, Clint Bowyer, crewed with Rui Auguas – Robert Kauffman – Michael Waltrip, flying the flag for AF Corse, the only Italian team running in the GT class, while Ed Brown – Mike Hedlund – Scott Sharp - Johannes Van Overbeek will be driving the Extreme Speed Motorsport car. The second car is in the hands of Emil Assentato – Guy Cosmo – Anthony Lazzaro – Nick Longhi – Craig Wilkins from AIM Autosport, previous winners in this marathon event. There are two more cars entered by Scuderia Corse, who first raced in Grand AM last year and these are crewed by Olivier Beretta – Alessandro Balzan – Marco Frezza – Alessandro Pieguidi and Chico Longo – Rafa Matos – Xandinho Negrao – Daniel Serra.
The race gets underway on 26 January and is a major challenge for the Prancing Horse, especially in light of new technical regulations which in the GT class impact on the power output, the tank capacity and the time taken at pit stops. The first 15 minute sprint qualifying session starts on Thursday 24 January at 16.55, then comes a further hour of practice on Friday 25th at 10.30, the final session before the race which starts at 15.30 on Saturday 26. Providing a high class start to the weekend's activities, the Stars and Stripes Ferrari Challenge is a curtain raiser, giving competitors their now traditional opportunity to race their cars on a historic and thrilling tracks.

Even if you think you know no architects, you've still probably heard of this one. If you are up on architectural things, you may look at the photo of Bena's station and think it looks a bit like something designed by a certain famous 20th century architect, but you've read in all the books that the only gas station he ever designed is the one pictured on the right. Ignore the experts and go with your gut.
After a hiatus, Joe Carter has started posting in his "Know Your Evangelicals" series again. Number 30 covers the late Stanley Grenz, probably the theologian with the most influence on the "Emergent Church" movement. I have his Primer on Postmodernism and found it most helpful in trying to make sense of this philosophical phenomenon.
I think this is an important aspect of God which would be easy to miss if all we considered were his immutability and eternalness. God is a personal God. He interacts with his creation.
When men sin, God reacts in anger.
When men sin, God responds in judgment.
When men repent, God gives mercy.
When men pray God hears and answers prayer.
More than just that, God invites men to come, invites them to pray, makes conditional promises to them. If they meet a condition, he will respond to that.
But none of God's interaction with his creatures in time contradicts the fact that God knows all and has purposed and permitted all according to his eternal decrees.
Thanks to my little April Fool's gag (see here and here), as of this week I'm actually the #1 Google hit for Google Search: "creed of the alexandrian cult". Oh, the irony. No other really interesting searches brought people to the Crusty Curmudgeon this week, except that it looks like all the students have finished their papers on John Cheever's "The Swimmer" and moved on to Life of Pi .
