Holiday Review/Holiday Reviews for Concorde El Salam Hotel Sharm.
Second time my family have been to the Concorde sport, and it was better than last year!
food is fantastic, I am very fussy and every day there was fresh veg, meat, pasta and fresh pizza made to order. staff can not do enough for you and you can always get a bed by the pool whether you are in a pair or a family of 5.
Have read the negative reports and really do not understand them, these people must have expected to have their bums wipes or something.
We will be going back again next year, before june is best as the russians come after this time for some reason. would reccomend this hotel to absolutley anyone!!
We returned yesterday from a wonderful week at the Concorde Sports. We went to Egypt to chill and relax, and that is exactly what we did.
The room was spacious and clean and overlooked the pool. The housekeeper was very efficient and friendly, and we had a lovely assortment of towel art left for us!
The food was good, with plenty of choice for any sort of diet. The salads were wonderful, with an amazing assortment of bread and dips.
There was a pasta station where the chef would make you a pasta dish of your own (there were also pre made pasta dishes to help yourself to). There was usually a carvery such as turkey, beef etc, and lots of different vegetables.
Chinese, Italian and Egyptian food were all represented too. On Egyptian night in the restaurant – please try the hot pudding 'umali' as it is gorgeous!
The pool bar is where we had out lunch most days. We had made friends with Emad the head barman there, and the chef who did the cooking at the pool bar Abdallah, so we always got special treatment!
Unlike the very rude, obnoxious Russians who also used the pool bar for lunch. I had to walk away on several occasions as they treated the staff like their personal slaves – banging fists on the bar and saying 'more beer'! Grrr!
Food at the pool bar – fresh marinated sea bass, homemade burgers, calamari, chicken, chips, salads – all freshly made in front of you – wonderful!
The staff in the restaurant were fantastic – extremely friendly – lots of banter going around and I really couldn't fault them at all. Look out for Hany who made out stay so wonderful.
We stayed at the Sports side for most of the holiday, and ventured to the main side a couple of times. Seemed a bit crowded over at the main hotel, and busy round the pool and on the beach. The shops in the lobby there were quite good though.
We took travellers cheques with us – it was a bit of a bind to change them as they insisted that they have a photocopy of your receipt, traveller's cheque and passport as they apparently get a lot of fraud.
The reception will copy all this for you though, and just take it all to the bank in the main hotel lobby.
We didn't go to Naama Bay, although there was a free shuttle bus from the hotel that ran pretty regularly, and some of the guests did make use of this service.
The Sports side does get aircraft noise, but my husband and I really weren't bothered by it. The Sports is perfect for a relaxing holiday – space by the pool, fewer Russians in their thongs and Speedos (yuck), and you can always walk over to the main site if the fancy takes you (or jump on the bus).
All in all, a wonderful holiday, our first in Egypt, and it certainly won't be our last to this hotel.
We are pleased to announce that Egypt Holiday Packages will soon be offering details of holiday events in Sharm El Sheikh and in the whole south Sinai. Local News, Special offers from hotels such as Concorde El Salam Hotel, Announcements for latest events, Openings of new Hotels, Diving centers and Clubs. All is now available at your finger tips. Be a frequent visitor and make use of our fast growing, free of charge services before you book your holiday trip to the Sharm resort of Concorde El Salam Hotel.

Aulorhynchus flavidus ist eine Fischart aus der Teilordnung der Stichlingsartigen (Gasterosteales). Sie kommt im nordöstlichen Pazifik von der Küste Alaskas bis zum nördlichen Baja California vor.

Merkmale
Aulorhynchus flavidus wird 18 cm lang und ist von stichlingsähnlicher Gestalt aber sehr langgestreckt, ähnlich wie der Seestichling. Der Fisch besitzt 24 bis 27 kurze Rückenflossenstacheln, die nicht durch Flossenmembran verbunden sind, gefolgt von einer dreieckigen, weichstrahligen Rückenflosse mit neun bis zehn Weichstrahlen. Die Afterflosse ist symmetrisch zur weichstrahligen Rückenflosse. Die Brustflossen schließen gerade ab. Die Bauchflossen werden von einem Hart- und vier Weichstrahlen gestützt. Die Schwanzflosse ist klein, gegabelt, mit 13 Flossenstrahlen.

Die Fische sind hell, fleckig braun gefärbt, am Rücken variierend von olivgrün bis gelbbraun und cremeweiß am Bauch. Ein heller, silbriger Fleck liegt zwischen Kiemendeckel und Brustflossen und erstreckt sich bis zur Kehle. Ein dunkles Band über dem Fleck erstreckt sich durch das Auge bis zur Schnauzenspitze. Bei brutpflegenden Männchen sind um die Schnauze leuchtend rot.

Lebensweise
Aulorhynchus flavidus kommt in algenbewachsenen Küstengewässern, in Tangwäldern, steinigen Arealen und über Sandflächen in Tiefen von 0 bis 30 Metern vor. Die Fische leben normalerweise in Schwärmen nahe der Oberfläche, manchmal in dichten Schwärmen entfernt von der Küste. Sie ernähren sich von Fischlarven und kleinen Krebstieren. Männchen bilden zur Laichzeit Reviere um den Riesentang (Macrocystis pyrifera). Das Weibchen legt die Eier um den Spross und biegt Teile des Tangs abwärts, so dass der Laich bedeckt ist.

Free furniture is a good thing. Especially if it's sturdy. Especially if you see it and thing "AHA! I know exactly what I'm going to do with that!"
check out the pollen tracks! yikes!
It was a diamond in the rough. I really couldn't decide whether or not I wanted to paint it. The original finish was cool, but it didn't really match anything else.
And there she sat for a couple months. Me not loving. Me no longer inspired to work on it.
Definitely the kick in the pants I needed.
I was totally excited. Ready to go. Then...the sink backed up. Then, it backed up again. And again.
Last night, we had a stressful situation arise not related to the sink. So I took out my frustrations on the dresser again.
Another two coats of chalk paint. And tape. I decided to do a zigzag thing. I contemplated chevron, but that seemed like too much work. I couldn't decide on the contrast paint color. Grey? Pink? Periwinkle? I'm not afraid of color, by any stretch...I ended up using Sherwin Williams Peppercorn.
Then, I took out more frustration by hand distressing. I worked out quite a sweat.
maybe it will look better in the morning?
Still not totally loving it. Maybe I should have gone with pink? Maybe it will look better in it's "spot" with the TV? Maybe I was just so frustrated with the situation I couldn't like anything.
Thank goodness in the morning, it didn't look as bad as I thought the night before. I distressed it a bit more and in the natural light, it didn't look so....school bus-y. This is definitely not a school bus yellow. It's gorgeous. My favorite yellow.
The TV is actually smaller than the last one. YIKES.
I'm still wondering if I should repaint the zigzag and go with a pink. Would love some opinions on that. But I'm sooo glad it's finally done!
I think it looks FANTASTIC!!!! And it was F-R-E-E?!?! SCORE! And it does perfectly pair up with your TV. Great job, girl!
I am returning your visit to see what a ADD housewife does. Well, I found out she does beautiful things. I love the butter and the blue together. I know how it is late at night and the beautiful turquoise blue has become a gaudy peacock! Back to my UFO project. I am your newest Linky follower!
I wouldn't touch it! It turned out awesome, just give it a few days and let it work it's magic on you before you change anything.
I like it just the way it is! You've given it new life! Big makeover from Before to After! Great job! Thanks for sharing at the Rock N Share!
I love a good chevron! I can't believe that was a zero cost project.
It looks so cute! I actually love the blue color - it looks so summery and cheerful paired with the light yellow. Then again, I'm not a pink girl by any stretch haha.
That's a great makeover, though - and for free! love it.
What a drastic difference - you have a great imagination for how something can be reborn.
It turned out great after all that! I think I need a UFO challenge, too!
Wow- that looks great! I love the storage space you'll get out of that piece!
Looks great! Thanks so much for sharing at Homemade By You!! Hope to see you next week!
Thanks so much for linking up to Creative Thursday this week. I think it looks awesome! You did a great job.
I so know what you mean about being disappointed with your first (or second, or third...) attempt at making over a piece of furniture and then not wanting to work on it anymore. I like what you've done with this piece but I do know that your wheels will keep turning until you've found the perfect look that makes you happy.
FABULOUS!!!!!! Everything about it is PERFECT!!
Thanks for sharing at The DIY Dreamer... From Dream To Reality!!
What a difference! Thanks for linking at Shine on Fridays!
It looks great! I would leave the blue. Thanks for sharing at Terrific Tuesdays.
Fabulous project! I can't believe the dresser was FREE! You did an amazing job transforming it. :-) I would definitely leave the blue, it looks really nice with the buttery yellow. Found you through Debbiedoo's Newbie party. I'm now following and look forward to seeing more of your creative blog. Have a great week!
I think it's fun just the way it is!
You did a fantastic job on this piece. It really is different and fun. Thanks for sharing your talents with the newbie party.
I'm not good at home decor so I can offer no help in terms of suggestions. I'm just impressed that you took on such a project. Some day I'll get brave! And once my neighbors start throwing out good junk. :) Thanks for linking this one too!
That looks amazing! Hard to believe you started with something free :) Thanks so much for sharing at Mom On Timeout!

Temescal on fire
Last night my neighborhood was on fire. If you're unaware, for the past two days there have been demonstrations against the lack of indictment of Darren Wilson for the shooting of Mike Brown, and they've been very large and spirited in Oakland. I realize this is an extremely complicated issue, and I can't possibly get all angles on this (and will probably catch some hell for it), but I'm going to talk about what I saw the day after, in my neighborhood.
In many cases I've been out there with the protesters, as part of Occupy and other demonstrations, but for whatever reason, last night I stayed home, and just watched on a livestream. It was quite striking to see fires and masses of people so close to my house – at one point they were at 52nd and Telegraph, five blocks from me, at which point police stopped them from advancing.
Last night, and the night before, freeways were also blocked.
I have a lot of mixed feelings. On the one hand, I am very angry that Darren Wilson, like any other cop, can shoot an unarmed black man and go free – not only go free, but get $400,000 raised for him by a friend of the prosecutor. The specifics of the altercation and who hit who first don't even matter that much to me – shooting an unarmed man would land me in jail, and should land Darren Wilson in jail too. Sometimes people simply will not listen to you unless you make enough noise, and that's where protesting and sometimes gumming up the works of daily life can be effective. Jay Smooth does a much better job of explaining this than I could.
On the other hand, the destruction that was caused, at least in my neighborhood, seems unrelated to this case and the events of the last few days. Stopping up 580 or 980 only inconveniences citizens. I do realize that shutting down commerce and transportation actually makes a bold statement – it states that everything the government and our social system accepts as standard, only exists because citizens are complicit in those systems. When we shut down the port during Occupy Oakland, the statement was "you only get to make money here because we all allow you to."
But if you were going to make a statement about shutting down systems and gumming up the works, it should be somewhere where it makes a difference – the financial district in San Francisco, for example. Doing it here only stops people from getting home. (There is the remote possibility that it could have stymied some police movement since there's a police station under a mile from there, but they have other means of access.)
I think the statement is still made to some extent, but it's muddled, and much weaker than if it were done somewhere with meaning, instead of the most convenience place to do it, as was the case here (they simply walked on the 980 onramp from downtown).
Today I went on a walk through the neighborhood, to see what had happened here last night, in terms of vandalism and destruction, to see whether there were any statements made in this way. The movement of the people was South to North along Telegraph, and I was approaching from North to South.
Bakesale Betty was unscathed, but the owner was super freaked out last night, because everything basically stopped right around there. She said the police were arm in arm along 51st street, beginning to push people back.
I got down as far as Kelly Moore paints, and made my way back up from there, trying to pay careful attention. Kelly Moore is right by Arbor, a local cafe that tries to use local ingredients and provide a nice hangout for people – it is one of the newer places people could gather that is not a chain restaurant south of 45th.
Kelly Moore Paints, last night and this morning.
So, Kelly Moore was smashed up, and paint was taken from there, and strewn along the street, as well as thrown through Arbor's window. "Fuck go" was spraypainted on Arbor's remaining unbroken windows.
Arbor, last night (top two images) and this morning (bottom two images – arbor opened for business as usual today).
Now, the thing that struck me was that right across the street, there was a Popeye's Chickien, completely unscathed. This is a choice, here. You've got one side of the street or the other, that's the choice – and the local business was smashed, while the chain was left alone. A block down, the word "payback" was spraypainted across the wall of the Korean Casserole House.
Kasper's Hot Dogs, which is an Oakland institution that's looking to reopen, is owned by a local Armenian family (who happen to be friends of my mother's, full disclosure). It's on Telegraph between 45th and 46th, and was spraypainted, but directly across the street, the McDonald's was totally fine. Likewise a local business in the process of getting set up was vandalized.
Kasper's rather randomly vandalized, McDonald's unscathed, and another local business. Most businesses were putting the "Love" poster for Plaid Friday over their boarded windows.
When it comes down to it, the main things that were vandalized were local businesses and homes. The only exceptions are my bank (Bank of the West), a T-Mobile store (I didn't see this, but read about it), and Kelly Moore Paints, which is still a business based in California.
Keller Plaza – much more graffiti along its full length.
Bank of the West and T-Mobile were the only actual institutions that were targeted, and randomly at that. Everything else was people who would actually care or feel hurt that this happened to them. So, were I being expansive, I could view this as a commentary on gentrification – Arbor does represent the way the neighborhood has been changing across the last 10 years or so. But I can't actually accept that this was the message, because as I walked home, I realized that the low income housing complex, Keller Plaza, was tagged – past where the cops had attempted to push everyone back. Bizarrely, a lot of the graffiti was huge images of cacti, but also "fuck pigs" was written along the side of one of the complexes, and "No peace" was written on the driveway to the church across the way, that was serving food to the homeless this morning.
So I don't think it was about gentrification. And since I only saw one "RIP Mike Brown" tag, frankly I don't think it was about him either. I'm not sure it was about anything by the time it got up to the Temescal neighborhood. I suspect it was simply an excuse for some angry folks to cause vandalism and destruction. The demonstration certainly, absolutely started out being about Mike Brown and Darren Wilson, but it ended up being thoughtless destruction, which is massively unfortunate, because that becomes the story that's told to the world, instead of the legitimate outrage. I had friends in China asking if I was alright, rather than asking what I thought or how I felt about this lack of indictment, which should be the real focus.
T-Mobile last night, Bank of the West today.
It is of course difficult, or perhaps impossible, to control a mob and what it will do or where it will go. Once the destruction starts, it ceases to be a demonstration and starts to become something else. And I suppose that the graffiti and destruction be viewed as more of a message to the police than it is to the businesses. But the police are only there for that one interaction – it's the businesses that are left to pick up the pieces, and who see the word "payback" on their wall until they can afford to remove it. I'm not in favor of violence, but had institutions been exclusively targeted for disruption (not destruction) instead of local businesses, a point might still have been made. "Shut it down for Michael Brown" could have meant something a lot larger than what it did last night.
I can't help but feel the results of Tuesday evening were at direct odds with the message the majority of protesters wanted to send, which is "you can't treat us this way." In the longer term, I hope the message can evolve to become "we can exist without you." To try to support local business, local farming, local programs helping those in need, and affordable housing, while policing ourselves, rather than needing to relying on institutions that don't serve us.
Note: some of these images were taken from news outlets, and twitter – unfortunately I've already forgotten which ones. All the photos in daylight are my own.

Q: Password Encryption in Flask On receiving a GET request in Flask, I connect to a backend database and send the response. Currently, the username and password of the database are stored in an ini file. What is the best way to encrypt the username and password?
Also is it good practice to encrypt the username and password for REST calls ? as I need to decrypt every time on receiving a request

A: You never store plain password in you database. Instead, you want to store hashes -- the special sum, which can't be decoded, but will produce the same result on same data.
Therefore, you can just apply this function to plain password and compare it to the one on your database
Take a look at bcrypt module:
https://flask-bcrypt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
On your register method:
pw_hash = bcrypt.generate_password_hash('some_password')
And then you only store pw_hash in your db
On your login method just extract pw_hash from db and compare it:
bcrypt.check_password_hash(pw_hash, 'password_from_request') # returns True or False
At the same time, you can store plain username in DB if you want, there's nothing wrong with it

A: On your server, you cannot encrypt the username and password to access your database, otherwise you cannot access it.
Usually, you do not put them in a file, but in an environment variable.
Also see the twelve factor app:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve-Factor_App_methodology
P.S.: For instance, I use batou for deployment (similar to Ansible).
The username and password are both encrypted in a gpg file, so I can check them into version control. But of course, when I deploy the app to production, both values need to be un-encrypted.

The below article of mine was recently published in the October 7, 2014 edition of the Pennsylvania Law Weekly and is republished here with permission from the publisher American Law Media.
Spurred by a number of state and federal court decisions over the past year, the issue of whether a previous award secured by an injured plaintiff can serve to preclude the plaintiff from seeking additional coverage from an underinsured motorist carrier on the same claims has become a hot topic in post-Koken auto accident litigation.
The cases show that a previous recovery by a plaintiff can serve as a roadblock on the road to additional recoveries following a motor vehicle accident.
In auto accident matters, a plaintiff will often proceed to a binding arbitration by agreement to resolve the claims against the defendant driver before proceeding to the related UIM claim. Such a plan of attack could prove troublesome.
In his Jan. 15 opinion in Borrelli v. AIU North America, No. 0430, Control No. 13110820 (C.P. Phila. 2014), Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Mark I. Bernstein granted a UIM carrier's motion for summary judgment based upon the collateral estoppel doctrine in a case where the plaintiff proceeded through an agreed-upon high/low arbitration with the tortfeasor defendant first.
In Borrelli, the plaintiff, with consent of his own UIM carrier, resolved the third-party claim by way of a binding arbitration. At the arbitration, the arbitrator entered an award that was less than the defendant driver's policy limits. This award below the liability limits, by definition, raised the question of whether the plaintiff had indeed been injured by a tortfeasor who was underinsured so as to enable the plaintiff to pursue UIM benefits from the plaintiff's own automobile insurance carrier.
After the arbitration, the plaintiff then filed a UIM lawsuit in Philadelphia against the UIM carrier. The UIM carrier eventually filed a motion for summary judgment based upon the application of the collateral estoppel doctrine in light of the prior arbitration award. The argument was that the doctrine precluded the plaintiff from relitigating the amount of her damages.
Bernstein granted the carrier's motion after finding that all of the elements of the collateral estoppel doctrine were met. The court more specifically ruled that the issue of the full amount of damages to which the plaintiff was entitled had been previously litigated and determined to be less than the tortfeasor's liability limits.
The court noted that it therefore followed that the arbitration award precluded any UIM recovery as the defendant driver was not underinsured. Stated otherwise, the plaintiff was found to have been fully compensated for the alleged injuries by the award entered on the third-party side of the case.
A similar result was also handed down by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. In his decision in Harvey v. Liberty Mutual Group, No. 130-CV-04693 (E.D. Pa. 2014), Judge J. Curtis Joyner ruled that an injured party was barred by the doctrine of collateral estoppel from proceeding on a UIM claim after having agreed to a high/low arbitration on the third-party side with a high parameter being a number below the third-party liability limits and where the arbitration award was entered at a number even below that high parameter.
The court ruled in this fashion even though there was an express agreement between the parties in the third-party liability case that the binding arbitration was not intended to preclude any subsequent proceedings.
In Harvey, the liability limits on the third-party side were $2.25 million. The high parameter agreed to between the parties for the binding arbitration of the third-party case was $1.35 million. The arbitrator entered an award in the amount of $680,000.
The third-party proceedings and the award entered implicated the collateral estoppel doctrine, as the damages claims were fully litigated and the award entered was below the agreed-upon high parameter (which was also well below the available liability limits).
Joyner noted that to avoid the effects of the collateral estoppel doctrine, the parties easily could have written into the binding high/low agreement an express provision to the effect that "the binding high figure is not intended to have any preclusive effect."
The application of the collateral estoppel doctrine to UIM claims has also been held to apply where a plaintiff first recovers a primary level of UIM coverage and then proceeds to attempt to obtain an additional recovery from a second-level UIM carrier.
This scenario arises when a plaintiff is injured in a car accident while a passenger in someone else's vehicle. The UIM coverage on the vehicle represents the primary, or first-level, UIM coverage available to the plaintiff. If that plaintiff also has their own UIM coverage on their own vehicle, that other UIM coverage would apply as a second level of possible benefits for the plaintiff, assuming no exclusions to coverage apply.
In a recent nonprecedential memorandum opinion in the case of United Services Automobile Association v. Hudson, No. 224 EDA 2014 (Pa. Super. 2014), the Pennsylvania Superior Court addressed a matter involving a claim for second-level UIM benefits after an arbitration award was previously entered for UIM benefits under a primary UIM policy.
In this auto accident matter, the plaintiff initially secured the tortfeasor's $15,000 in liability limits by settlement and then proceeded to her UIM claims.
The primary UIM coverage on the vehicle in which the plaintiff was located as a passenger at the time of the accident provided for $100,000 in UIM limits. An arbitration award of $75,000 was eventually entered on that claim.
After a credit for the third-party coverage of $15,000 was applied to that initial UIM arbitration award, the plaintiff received $60,000 of the primary UIM carrier's $100,000 UIM policy limit.
The plaintiff then sought to recover a second level of UIM benefits under her own personal UIM policy. That second-level UIM carrier denied the claim by arguing that the issue of damages had already been fully litigated, with the result being a number that was below the first-level UIM carrier's policy limits, thereby precluding the claim for second-level benefits.
The trial court upheld the insurance company's collateral estoppel argument and the plaintiff appealed. The Superior Court affirmed by ruling that the insured was estopped from relitigating the claim as the issue of damages had already been litigated. Since the UIM award was less than the amount of the UIM limit on the first policy, the court ruled that the plaintiff could not recover under the second-level UIM policy.
In addition to being found to apply to binding arbitration, Pennsylvania courts have also found that the doctrine of collateral estoppel may apply to looser forms of alternative dispute resolution proceedings.
In her decision earlier this year in the post-Koken case of Gallagher v. Ohio Casualty Insurance, No. 13-0168 (E.D. Pa. 2014), U.S. District Judge Nitza I. Quinones Alejandro of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania found that while a nonbinding ADR award did not technically implicate the collateral estoppel doctrine, the award nevertheless served to preclude a UIM claim.
According to the opinion, the third-party portion of this case settled after a nonbinding ADR proceeding was held and the arbitrator entered a settlement value that was approximately $59,000 less than the third-party liability limit.
The insured plaintiff initially declined to accept the evaluation issued by the arbitrator and proceeded with the litigation of the third-party case. However, after the completion of some further discovery, the third-party case settled for the same amount as the nonbinding arbitrator's evaluation.
Despite settling the third-party claim for substantially less than the tortfeasor's liability limits, the plaintiff nevertheless commenced a UIM claim against the plaintiff's own automobile insurance carrier.
The UIM carrier denied a UIM claim even existed given the nonbinding arbitration value placed upon the case was below the tortfeasor's liability limits.
The carrier argued that the UIM case could not proceed because the third party could not be considered to be underinsured, because the third-party coverage was not exhausted and because the claim was allegedly barred by the collateral estoppel doctrine.
The court in Gallagher noted that the UIM claim would not be barred by the collateral estoppel doctrine because the nonbinding arbitration did not result in a final judgment as required for that doctrine to apply.
However, the court found that the defendant driver was not a UIM motorist as defined by the policy or Pennsylvania law. The only evidence to consider of the other driver being underinsured were the policy limits, the arbitrator's evaluation and the eventual settlement amount. Under that evidence, the court found that the third-party defendant could not be considered to be underinsured and that, therefore, the injured plaintiff could not present a UIM claim.
In light of the above string of cases, both sides of the bar should activate their high beams to keep a cautious eye out for roadblocks in the road to a UIM recovery.

The Obama administration may conclude that the road to Donetsk leads on to Damascus.
What started as a campaign to punish Vladimir Putin for annexing Crimea and menacing eastern Ukraine could morph into a larger effort to increase pressure on the Russian leader by imposing sanctions on Russian companies supporting the regime in Syria.
Pro-Russian separatists block monitors from buildings in east Ukraine, diplomats say
Published by Washington Post, April 21, 2014
The United States and Russia traded charges Monday over implementation of last week's agreement to defuse tensions in Ukraine, with Secretary of State John F. Kerry urging Moscow to publicly call on armed pro-Russian separatists to vacate occupied government buildings in eastern Ukrainian cities and to send a senior diplomat to tell them Russia wants them to leave.
Kerry's comments, in a telephone call to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, came after separatists blocked international monitors from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe from the occupied buildings. In some cases, the monitors were stopped at separatist checkpoints outside urban areas, according to Western diplomats.

The Prince and the Dressmaker by Jen Wang (2018)
When Frances creates an outrageous new dress for a client, her talent is noticed by the royal palace. But her position isn't what she originally expected...it turns out that Prince Sebastian wants her to design dresses for him to wear as the wonderful Lady Crystallia.
Frances and Sebastian strike up an understanding immediately, with Frances designing the most extravagant dresses, making Lady Crystallia a fashion icon in Paris.
Jen Wang's illustrations are a thing of beauty. I adored this graphic novel that features acceptance, fabulous dresses, and love. (No, seriously, I hugged it after finishing it. I didn't want to bring it back to the library!) Lucky for all our patrons, I did. The Prince and the Dressmaker is available to check out in our Teen Lounge.

Comics for a Strange World by Reza Farazmand (2017)
You've likely seen Reza Farazmand's work floating around the internet, even if you've never heard his name. His newest book, Comics for a Strange World, is the second collection from his popular webcomic series Poorly Drawn Lines. Organized by theme, you can consider these short comics the "best of the best" of Farazmand. His humor is offbeat, tongue-in-cheek, and occasionally bleak, but his commentary on technology, humanity, and society will absolutely resonate with a wide audience, especially among Millennials.

Duran Duran, Imelda Marcos, and Me by Lorina Mapa (2017)
When Rina learns that her beloved father has passed away unexpectedly, she flies to Manila to attend his funeral. This graphic novel memoir is told in flashbacks as Rina recalls aspects of her childhood growing up in the Philippines.
Lorina Mapa skillfully illustrates emotion in her panels which change between grief and humor, always with love for her family, friends, and country. I laughed out loud more than once as I recalled some of my own memories of growing up -- who didn't have a pop culture inspired haircut that didn't quite work out? (Mine was the bangs from The Secret World of Alex Mack.)
I would recommend Duran Duran, Imelda Marcos, and Me for fans of Lucy Knisley, Ramsay Beyer, and Alison Bechdel.

Big Mushy Happy Lumpy by Sarah Andersen (2017)
After reading Heather's review of Adulthood is a Myth, I immediately whipped through the first in the "Sarah Scribbles" collection. Sarah Andersen's comic strips offer sparse drawings and humorous relatable insights. Big Mushy Happy Lumpy, the second book in the collection, is also a quick and enjoyable read—but it takes a different turn, highlighting struggles with social anxiety. This shift in tone brings to mind Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh and Furiously Happy by Jenny Lawson.
I can't wait to read Herding Cats, a new collection out next month.
Spotlight: Calvin and Hobbes
IPPL Staff
Why do we care so much about an egotistical, obnoxious, bratty kid, and his stuffed cat? I know that I—along with billions of other fans— love Calvin and Hobbes, but I have to ask myself why. Calvin is certainly not admirable in any way, other than maybe the expert use of his imagination, and his undying devotion to his tiger. Mostly he can be counted on to be more intent on mischief than on doing good, taking an almost disturbing sense of pride in this. And when he isn't "up to no good," he can be found doing something totally unproductive, like watching bad television.
And yet we do love Calvin and Hobbes, because they're undeniably charming and childlike, with that sense of abandon that we wish we still had. Plus, Hobbes is the voice of reason, after all—a good foil to Calvin's enthusiastic hedonism and reckless sense of adventure. Though, most of the time, we have to admit Hobbes doesn't put up much of a fight…

Adulthood is a Myth by Sarah Andersen (2016)
This was my first go at a graphic novel, so I was pleased to find that this book is a collection of short graphic anecdotes. It was easy to read a few pages here and there in between other activities. Adulthood is a Myth is incredibly relatable, especially if you're a 20-30 something female, but anyone in that age bracket can definitely connect with Sarah Andersen's humorous spin on life. If you do enjoy Adulthood is a Myth, don't miss the additional installments in the Sarah Scribbles series, Big Mushy Happy Lump, which came out in 2017, and Herding Cats, due out in March 2018.

All up-to-date on Marvel Netflix TV shows like Jessica Jones? Want to get into the comics but are too intimidated to dive in? Get your toes wet with Patsy Walker, a.k.a. Hellcat!

Lumberjanes by Noelle Stevenson (2015)
Jo, April, Molly, Mal, and Ripley are teen lumberjane scouts at Miss Quinzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet's Camp for Hardcore Lady Types, where they spend the summer learning valuable skills like knot-tying, archery, and battling supernatural creatures. As the girls start running into monsters and brainwashed boy scouts, they realize things at camp may not be what they seem and begin to investigate.
Comic fans will recognize the names Noelle Stevenson, Grace Ellis, Faith Erin Hicks, and Shannon Watters and know this is not a series to be missed. Lumberjanes is full of fantastic female characters and references to powerful women (often using phrases like "Oh my Bessie Coleman!"), fun dialogue, and intriguing mysteries. Lumberjanes Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 collect issues #1-8, but if you're like me and simply can't get enough, you can check out newer issues through Hoopla or eReadIllinois.

The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys by Gerard Way and Shaun Simon (2014)
Gerard Way and Shaun Simon's piece is not your run-of-the-mill graphic novel; its story chronologically takes place after My Chemical Romance's album: Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. That's one of the best parts about it! Since its precursor was a music album, as you are reading through it, there are references to MCR's lyrics and you can actually hear what some characters are intended to sound like. As you're reading Dr. Death-Defying's lines, his voice appears in your head like magic. It's a surreal experience to have when you're reading a graphic novel that doesn't have a TV or movie adaptation!
The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys is a great read for anyone who is (and even isn't) a My Chemical Romance fan. It makes a wonderful accompaniment to Danger Days but stands on its own as well with no pre-knowledge of the music. It's a coming-of-age story about a young girl who was previously under the protection of the Killjoys. After their deaths in Danger Days, she struggles to find her place in the unforgiving world she was left in. Why were they protecting her? What was it about her that made them so willing to risk their lives? In The Fabulous Killjoys, the reader finds the answers that they are seeking and so much more.
The Motherless Oven by Rob Davis (2014)
I grabbed this quirky graphic novel on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Rob Davis' The Motherless Oven contains a story of friendship as three teens go on an adventure to solve the usual mysteries of life. Can someone escape their assigned death day? Where did Scarper's robot father go?
It was the world building in this book that intrigued me the most though. Why on earth does it rain knives instead of water? Read this on a day you are FEELING WEIRD. Or ready to feel weird. Or weirder than you already feel.

The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil by Stephen Collins (2014)
Welcome to Here, a perfectly egg-shaped island, completely isolated. Everything Here is perfect and peaceful, with all of the houses identical and no competition between neighbors. All of the men in Here are clean shaven, except Dave who is bald, save for a single hair on his chin that resists both plucking and shaving. One day, the hair begins to grow and grow, until Dave has a full beard, which just keeps getting bigger and bigger, until the size of it is making daily life on Here difficult, not to mention the beard is proclaimed on the news as a "portal to Hell."
Beautifully illustrated in a black and white minimalist style, The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil by Stephen Collins is a well-considered and hilarious satire of normalcy and keeping order.

Sir David Attenborough to front new 5G app to win public confidence
Albertina Lloyd
·Entertainment reporter, Yahoo UK
Sir David Attenborough is to front a new 5G app part-funded by the government. (PA)
Sir David Attenborough is to be the face of a new government-funded 5G app to demonstrate the benefits of the new technology to the public.
The 94-year-old broadcaster and naturalist's forthcoming BBC documentary series The Green Planet will be accompanied by an AR (augmented reality) app using 5G technology that allows people to see exotic plants and animals around them.
AR superimposes virtual objects into users' surroundings.
The Green Planet app has won funding from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport's 5G Create competition.

Matt Warman, minister for Digital Infrastructure, said: "This cutting-edge app, fronted by broadcasting legend Sir David Attenborough, is set to be an inspiring example of how new technology can reconnect us with the natural world whilst demonstrating the power of 5G to a huge new audience."

The five-part The Green Planet series is expected to be broadcast in 2022.
Viewers who download the accompanying app will be able in certain locations to see "meticulously detailed graphics of exotic plants and animals" as if they were right in front of them.
The app will be available in "set locations" around the UK to users who have a 5G-enabled device. These are yet to be decided but could include parks, visitor attractions like Kew Gardens and even urban environments.
In April, the government called the suggestion that 5G masts cause coronavirus a "crazed conspiracy theory", while a number of scientists spoke out to debunk the alleged link.

Meanwhile, Attenborough has received the COVID-19 vaccine, his representative has confirmed.
The TV presenter told The Telegraph last month: "At 94, I think I'm entitled! I'm sufficient of a scientist still, I hope, to realise this is the thing to do."

It's not known which of the approved vaccines the presenter has had, but it was revealed he had received the first of two doses in the same week it was revealed The Queen – who is 94 – has also been vaccinated against coronavirus.
Other notable stars to have been vaccinated in the UK include Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith, 80, actor Sir Ian McKellen, 81, performer Lionel Blair, 92, actor Brian Blessed, 84, and actress Dame Joan Collins, 87.

I can find it really tough to discover a skincare brand that is organic and actually agrees with my skin. My skin can be so unpredictable just like a moody tween (haha!), it is really hard to find a product that my skin can get along with, without getting cranky at me. I was recently sent a "Luxe Travel Kit" of their goodies that I could try!
The Luxe Travel kit consists of a really good range of skincare products and it's a great way to try them out if you're a newbie, like me! It includes a Day Cream, Face Serum, Cleanser, Exfoliator, and a lip balm! I love that Uni Organic focuses on being Cruelty-Free, Australian Made, and Certified Organic, I think that is pretty darn awesome! Today, I will be talking about the exfoliator and the lip balm as these are my favourites out of the kit!
Let's start with the exfoliator! The exfoliator has a slightly sweet scent of Cranberry and Apricot seeds that I find quite pleasing, it also includes Gardenia Extract for a healing boost of power! When you squeeze out the product, you'll notice straight away the little red seeds from the Cranberry/Apricot, this helps buff the skin and get rid of any yucky dead skin cells you might have! I like to very gently massage the cream in circular motions on the skin and wash it off with warm water. The results are really lovely, it does completely what it says to do! My skin feels like a baby bottom and it has that squeaky clean feeling!
I give it an 8 out of 10!
I travel with this EVERYWHERE now. It is so easy and handy to pop it in your handbag, I like to use it during the day when I'm on the run (don't worry, I'm not literally on the run!). It is easy to wear over the top of your lipstick, or just on it own for a really glossy finish! I love that it can keep my lips moistened and supple and I don't have to worry about my lips getting dry from the harsh winter winds! It has a rather soft scent/ flavour of mint and has organic coconut oil to help protect the skin! It is a very runny texture but that doesn't bother me!
I give it a 9 1\2 out of 10!
I hope you like my honest thoughts on the Uni Organics products, if you would like to have a look at MORE of their goodies, just click here for their site!
Stay tuned for an upcoming fashion blog post!
Definitely want to try out these two products in particular! Love a good exfoliator and who can go wrong with a bomb as lip balm!
Thank you Jacquelyn! Appreciated the comment and yes, you can never go wrong with a lip balm!

"Don't forget to be against ACTA" – with these half-humorous words organisers of the anti-ACTA protest closed the demonstration that took place on June 9, 2012, in Berlin. On the European Action Day Against ACTA, around 500 people walked through Berlin streets in a march against the controversial anti-counterfeiting agreement that is believed to impose new criminal sanctions forcing Internet actors to monitor and censor online communications.
So far, 30 countries have signed ACTA, but it is the European Parliament that has the final say on whether the agreement will come into effect. The voting is supposed to take place on the plenary session in the beginning of July.
At the first sight, the relatively modest number of protesters may seem a bit disappointing compared to many thousands of protesters that took to the streets in February. Have people forgotten about ACTA?
After all of the announcements of ACTA's death, one would wonder why anybody would have felt the need to turn up to the anti-ACTA demonstrations today. In April, the European Parliamentarian in charge of the ACTA dossier said that ACTA was dead. In May, the European Commissioner for the Information Society, Neelie Kroes, said that ACTA was dead. Now, in June, four different European Parliament Committees rejected ACTA. Was tumbleweed going to be the only participant at the ACTA demonstrations?
I know it seems that it's all over and done now. But it's not. In the background they are trying to rescue what is left to rescue and we need to send a clear signal.
Why was ACTA a good idea?
Besides mspr0, there were several other activists speaking at the manifestation. Peter Sunde, co-founder of the Pirate Bay and Flattr, introduced Henrik Chulu from a Danish digital rights organisation Bitbureauet.
In the video below, posted on YouTube on June 10 by the author of this post, you can see Henrik talking about the importance of staying vigilant, as ACTA is not the last bill that we will be confronted with. He also pointed out that the agreement did something good for Europe by remindidng us of how fragile and important internet freedom is and causing people to get politically engaged and stand up for their digital rights.
Here you can find a photo report from the protest, uploaded by the German NGO Digitale Gesellschaft, a supporter of the protest and a leading advocate in the German anti-ACTA movement.
The European Anti-ACTA Action Day is over, but the voting in the EP is still on the agenda. It's good to know that netizens are keeping an eye on the parliamentarians, even if they are "just" a couple of hundreds activists. We've seen already that, if needed, they are able to motivate hundreds of thousands.

Whether you love or hate them you can't deny it doesn't get much worse than EA's bottom grade. Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today, we're counting down our picks for the Top 10 Worst EA Games. To have your ideas turned into a WatchMojo or MojoPlays video, head over to http://WatchMojo.comsuggest and get to it!
EA has made some pretty terrible games, but these are the worst of the worst. Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today, we're counting down our picks for the Top 10 Worst EA Games.
For this list, we're looking at some of the most terrible games published and/or developed by Electronic Arts.
This was the game that killed the "Command and Conquer" franchise. "Command and Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight" has gone down as one of the most downvoted games on Steam, and for good reason. Everything about the game is mediocre from the story to the gameplay to the graphics. Adding to the dreadful quality is the DRM policy, which demanded players maintain a constant online connection. So, if you lost your internet connection, all of your progress was lost! Guess killing franchises wasn't enough, they just had to go for the save files, Thanks, EA!
The "Army of Two" franchise was a welcoming experience up until EA shelled out "The Devil's Cartel". The game suffered criticism for a lot of things: the mechanics are something to gripe about, the AI is stupid, and the entire experience is forgettable. Although, the biggest misstep here was that the game failed to include what made "Army of Two" so fun: the co-op. For a series like "Army of Two", famous for delivering an engaging co-op experience, how in the world did you leave out the co-op and still felt all was right in the world?! This was absolutely bewildering, and "The Devil's Cartel" would become a massive commercial failure for EA.
For a story as in-depth and engaging as Lego's Bionicle series was, it's a wonder how EA and Lego Interactive managed to mess up. And boy, they really messed it up! Instead of creating an original story, the plot takes parts from the movie, "Bionicle: Mask of Light", making it a movie tie-in game. As if things couldn't get any worse, the graphics are appalling, and the gameplay is extremely lackluster. In a sense, you're playing a rough prototype of what could have been a more promising Bionicle game.
As much as we'd love to play a James Bond game where we can drive Bond's most kickass cars, why did we need a racing game? Thankfully, we're not talking about traditional racing. This is more inline with "Spy Hunter" series, only the game is utterly boring and the graphics are unimpressive. You're practically being led around by the hand, collecting power-ups, and then, waiting to be told when to use them. Considering this game came out three years after Rare belted out "GoldenEye", this felt like a massive step back.
Much like any other franchise that's been around too long, "The Simpsons" has seen its fair share of terrible games. In an attempt to cash-in on the success of the "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" games, EA brought us the obviously rushed "Simpsons Skateboarding". In addition to the abysmal controls, the game is littered with bugs and glitches, making it almost impossible to pull off any tricks. Had it succeeded in providing a quality experience, fans may not have minded that it was a "Tony Hawk" rip-off. Sadly, that's not the case. "The Simpsons Skateboarding" fell flat on its face and ran home.
You didn't think "Skateboarding" was their only cash-in attempt, did ya? The only difference here is that EA would only publish the European version while Activision handled the North American release. As you might expect, the graphics are ugly and the game does little to provide a decent challenge. The most damning flaw of all is the extremely broken gameplay. Fights with certain characters feel unfair in how they can spam certain attacks or deal an unreasonable amount of damage. If fighting the other playable characters wasn't enough to make us quit, the match against Mr. Burns and Smithers did.
If you're looking for a jammin' rhythm game to play with your friends, you might want to look elsewhere because "Boogie" will only disappoint. Granted, it has a solid selection of songs (despite all of them being covers), but that's all the game has going for itself. "Boogie" fails in providing an exciting experience due to its overly simplistic controls. The game will tell you to follow the beat of the song with its out-of-sync metronome, but you'll quickly figure out that flailing the remote around will satisfy the game anyways. This destroys any challenge "Boogie" has left in it, turning the game into an overpriced karaoke CD. We'll gladly take our dance party elsewhere!
Its notorious for being one of EA's greediest titles (next to a certain sci-fi franchise…). "Dungeon Keeper Mobile" took the name of a legendary series and dragged it through toxic sludge to transform it into a mobile game built entirely around monetization. As you build your dungeon, the game will try its hardest in tempting you to spend money by enforcing ridiculous wait times. You're telling me I have to wait at least an entire day just to build one square of a hallway? There are much better mobile games to use our data on, and this will never be one of them.
This game is about as messy as Shaq's free throws! In all seriousness, "Shaq Fu" has proven to be the worst in EA's library of duds for a number of reasons. The game does nothing to engage the player in the action, reducing fights to nothing more than lifeless button mashing. Speaking of which, the game doesn't go deeper into movesets, so don't expect to see much outside of punching and kicking. "Shaq Fu" quickly overstays its welcome with its dumbed down controls and bland presentation. Aside from being a game starring Shaquille O'Neal, is there any reason for "Shaq Fu's" existence?

Art and music therapy seem to help with brain disorders. Scientists want to know why
Published February 19, 2022 at 5:00 AM CST
Madeline Gray for NPR
Following a traumatic brain injury, veteran Michael Schneider found that art and music therapy helped him manage his epilepsy and PTSD. Schneider explains that by playing music, he can prevent a seizure.
When Michael Schneider's anxiety and PTSD flare up, he reaches for the ukulele he keeps next to his computer.
"I can't actually play a song," says Schneider, who suffered two serious brain injuries during nearly 22 years in the Marines. "But I can play chords to take my stress level down."
It's a technique Schneider learned through Creative Forces, an arts therapy initiative sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, in partnership with the departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs.
It's also an example of how arts therapies are increasingly being used to treat brain conditions including PTSD, depression, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
But most of these treatments, ranging from music to poetry to visual arts, still have not undergone rigorous scientific testing. So artists and brain scientists have launched an initiative called the NeuroArts Blueprint to change that.
The initiative is the result of a partnership between the Johns Hopkins International Arts + Mind Lab Center for Applied Neuroaesthetics and the Aspen Institute's Health, Medicine and Society Program. Its leadership includes soprano Renée Fleming, actress and playwright Anna Deavere Smith, and Dr. Eric Nestler, who directs the Friedman Brain Institute at Mt. Sinai's Icahn School of Medicine.
One goal of the NeuroArts initiative is to measure how arts therapies change the brains of people like Schneider.
"I had a traumatic brain injury when I was involved in a helicopter incident on board a U.S. Naval vessel," he explains. That was in 2005.
Later that same year, he experienced sudden decompression – the aviator's version of the bends — while training for high-altitude flights. The result was like a stroke.
"On my right side of my body I lost all feeling," he says.

Challenge coins that Schneider, a retired Marine Corps Master Sergeant, has received over the years sit in his garage studio at his home.
Schneider recovered from both incidents. But they took a toll on his brain. And in 2014, he began having serious problems.
"I had this progression of really bad seizures," he says. "At one point I was having 20 to 40 seizures a day."
He also developed symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, known as PTSD, and depression. Schneider went to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda for treatment. But he wasn't getting better.
"I'd lost hope," he says. "I didn't really believe that I was going to make it through the next couple of years. My brain was just shutting down."
That's when military doctors referred Schneider to Rebecca Vaudreuil, a music therapist at Creative Forces and the Henry M. Jackson Foundation. Early on, Vaudreuil learned something intriguing about the big Marine from Marquette, Michigan.
"He had a history in doing theater arts," she says. "And so I could tell, you know, there was some priming there."
Vaudreuil had Schneider play a few notes on a piano.
"I started to hum the notes and she's like, 'You can sing,'" he recalls.
So they sang Andrea Bocelli's operatic hit Con Te Partirò.
That led to a lot of musical exploration, including the ukulele. It also helped Schneider start talking about his struggles and gave him a way to reduce his seizures and relieve some of his anxiety and PTSD.
"Relearning music took away that fight-or-flight, that ingrained piece of how I trained," he says. "It was able to open up all these new pathways through my brain."
Personal experiences like Schneider's are beginning to get some scientific confirmation, Vaudreuil says.
"We know that when we receive music, even when we hear music, we're activating multiple parts of the brain," she says. And studies suggest that this strengthens brain circuits that help repair damage.
There are also hints that the brain changes in response to other art therapies, like dance, poetry, painting, sculpture, even leatherwork. But so far, there hasn't been much scientific study to back that up.
Schneider has been doing leatherwork for the past five years as therapy. He also teaches the craft to other veterans. Schneider uses stamping tools to emboss leather (top; bottom left) and plans where stitching will go (bottom right) on a final product.
"We're going to need to provide the robust, empirical data demonstrating that there is efficacy," says Nestler, a co-chair of the NeuroArts initiative advisory board.
"It's harder in some ways to do that with music or art than with a new medication," he says. "On the other hand, I think it's very doable."
Nestler says advances in brain imaging technology are making it possible to objectively measure brain changes produced by arts therapies.
For example, there are lots of anecdotal reports of Alzheimer's patients who can no longer speak, but will begin singing and become more interactive when they hear a familiar song.
"Now, in addition to reporting the behavioral changes, one could identify a greater level of activity in circuits in the brain related to memory and emotions," Nestler says.
Fleming, another co-chair of the advisory board, has actually seen the effect of singing on her own brain.
During a visit to the National Institutes of Health in 2017, she agreed to perform while inside an MRI scanner.
"They had me singing, imagining singing and speaking," she says. "They would probably have guessed that singing would have the largest effect on my brain, but it didn't. It was imagining singing."

Singer Renee Fleming looks at a brain scan with NIH neuroscientist David Jangraw after singing in the MRI machine, at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. in 2017.
For Fleming, the existence of something like the NeuroArts Blueprint represents a big and important shift in thinking since the early days of her career.
"I had terrible stage fright. I had somatic pain from performance pressure," she says. But at the time, doctors tended to dismiss symptoms involving the link between mind and body.
So now Fleming makes a point of using her performance trips to meet with brain scientists and arts therapists.
"I saw a music therapist working with a gentleman who'd had a stroke and couldn't speak," she says. "And within one session of singing he could communicate."
In order to understand why that happened, she says, neuroscientists and artists need to create a new field of expertise: neuroarts.
Nestler, the neuroscientist, agrees.
"We've realized how our two worlds can merge in this really interesting way," he says.

But Nestler says even with good scientific evidence, arts therapies are likely to face obstacles to gaining widespread acceptance and support.
"No one asks a question about paying $100,000 or more for spinal surgery," he says. But coverage of music therapy for a brain condition, he says, "that is going to be a major struggle."

/ How Do Labor Market Networks Work
How Do Labor Market Networks Work
Roberto Fernandez > The William F. Pounds Professor of Management at the MIT Sloan School > of Management
Please feel free to bring a lunch.
Please join us for the Economic Sociology/Social Organization seminar next Monday, March 24, 2014. We are delighted to welcome Roberto Fernandez, the William F. Pounds Professor of Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management.
From 2008-2010, Professor Fernandez served as the Head for the Sloan School's Behavioral and Policy Sciences area. He currently serves as the Co-Director of the MIT Sloan School's Ph.D program in Economic Sociology. He has extensive experience doing field research in organizations, including an exhaustive five-year case study of a plant retooling and relocation.
Professor Fernandez's current research is on networks, gender and race inequality at the hiring interface. He has received numerous research and teaching honors and awards, and has recently been elected to American Academy of Political and Social Sciences.
Professor Fernandez will speak to us about "How Do Labor Market Networks Work?"
Abstract for the talk: The idea that social networks matter in labor markets has great intuitive appeal to sociologists. However, recent labor market research has raised the question of whether the often observed effects of social networks in labor market studies are causal or spurious. In this presentation, Professor Fernandez will identify key mechanisms involving social networks in the labor market context, and review the state of knowledge on how these processes operate. He will present findings of new research aimed at assessing the causal status various aspects of these network processes. He will conclude with suggestions for further research on how to assess the causal impact of networks.


One of Spain's best known tourist hotposts, the Costa del Sol is the place to go to enjoy a classic Spanish beach holiday. The Costa del Sol is one of the most famous holiday regions in Spain.
Down in Andalucia, the weather here is balmy, and the region contains the city of Malaga, as well as iconic tourist destinations such as Torremolinos, Marbella and Nerja. The beach is obviously the big draw for many people heading out to stay in Costa del Sol holiday villas, as well as the excellent weather. The temperature here rarely drops below 15C, even at the peak of winter, and summer temperatures often exceed 38C. The harbour of Cabopino, close to Marbella, possess some of the best sands in Spain, and visitors can find shade from the excesses of the sun among its sand dunes and palm trees. Other excellent beaches include the Playa del Saladillo, near to Estepona, and Bounty Beach, again near Marbella.
Many groups of visitors who head to Costa del Sol holiday rentals are travelling to party. The area is especially popular with stag and hen parties, and the nightlife in coastal towns such as Torremolinos is usually very vibrant indeed. While the restaurants, bars and clubs in these coastal towns are often very lively, quieter places can be found in smaller towns, and Malaga is a big city with a lot of very different venues to offer. Eating out is a way of life in this part of Spain, and even the simplest 'venta' can offer superb food at great prices.
Golf is another activity which draws in thousands of visitors every year to the region. Indeed, some even refer to this part of Spain as the 'Costa del Golf'. The warm temperatures mean many golfers stay in Costa del Sol villa rentals during the winter months, especially if they are from northern Europe. There are 45 golf courses along the Costa del Sol, with many more nearby elsewhere in Andalucia. Four of the Costa del Sol courses are ranked in the top ten in Europe, making this a dream destination for anyone looking to tread in the footsteps of Seve Ballesteros. With great local produce ensuring that the food and wine is good and plentiful, this part of Spain can really offer almost anything anyone wants from a beach holiday. Staying in Costa del Sol holiday rentals provides access to some of Europe's best weather and beaches, while golfers will feel that have arrived in paradise.


September 1 is when I consider fall arriving, anyone else? Crisp evenings, pumpkin everything…everywhere, school is back in session…and I get the urge to clean up my habits. With summer, I often get more lax with my normal routine. Yes, I may be more active in the summer months but my overall healthy habits tend to take a backseat. So I am going to jump right into fall with a few steps to get my habits back in check.
–I joined a new workout routine. Yep, I am back on an exercise routine that I LOVE and is super convenient to my schedule. My goal is FIVE days a week…Monday thru Friday. I can't wait to share what it is.
–Track my food. When I feel like I need to get back on track, I often need to track my foods. It really helps me see what I am putting into my body to avoid mindless eating.
–I need to get a grasp on my beverages. Join in on the SPARKLING DETOX, next week! Remember me talking to you about this a couple of weeks ago. Yep, it's time to join! And I can't wait. I will be replacing ALL beverages with Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water.
Next week, Gerolsteiner is kicking off its #SparklingDetox with the goal to help you stay well hydrated and learn the benefits of mineral water. Mineral water contains natural minerals like calcium and magnesium to help your cells operate at optimal health. Many of the minerals that you find in mineral water are not naturally made by the body, thus, drinking this type of water makes it easy to get these essential nutrients.
Are you ready to join in? To participate, join the Gerolsteiner Sparkling Detox Facebook group. All you have to do from September 11-15 is commit to drinking only Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water — 1.5-2 liters per day (say goodbye to soda and alcohol!) — and feel the benefits. Learn where you can find Gerolsteiner mineral water near you.
I CAN'T wait to jump head first into fall!!!!! I will keep you all up to date on my habits. Stay tuned!
What are you habits you need to get back into?!
I can't believe it's pretty much fall already! Let's make it the best, healthiest, and most bubbly ever!
I'm so excited to develop some new habits this fall! The timing is perfect, and I loved starting it with the Detox!

Jockey Richard Migliore retires after 30 years
NEW YORK - There will be no more comebacks for Richard Migliore.
Migliore, known for overcoming terrible injuries as much as for his skill as a jockey, retired on Wednesday after a 30-year career.
Migliore made the announcement at a press conference before the post position draw for the Belmont Stakes on Saturday.
The 46-year-old Migliore broke his neck for a second time in a spill at Aqueduct on Jan. 23. He underwent fusion surgery and had hoped to resume riding. Doctors told him last week that another return was not possible.
Although he never won a Triple Crown race, "The Mig" rode 4,450 winners. His mounts earned over $160 million and he won 10 riding titles at Aqueduct.

Like Father Like Son As Dawn Approach Installed Favourite for 2013 British Classics
Posted on October 16, 2012 by Richard Smith | 0 Comments
At the outset of the 2008 Flat Racing season the talking horse was very definitely the Jim Bolger trained New Approach who had swept all before him as a juvenile and was a hot favourite for both the English 2000 Guineas and the Epsom Derby.
The son of Galileo had won both the Group One National Stakes over seven furlongs at the Curragh and then completed his juvenile campaign with success in the England's most prestigious two year old race, the Dewhurst Stakes, also over seven furlongs at Newmarket.
Alas, despite being involved in a thriller in the following season's 2000 Guineas, beaten on the line by Henrythenavigator. However, New Approach bounced back by winning the Epsom Derby that year, following in the footsteps of his Sire, Galileo, winner of the Derby in 2001.
Fast forward four years and as New Approach enjoys life at stud, the "fruits of his loins", Dawn Approach, is following a route to Superstar status, identical to that of his father.
Dawn Approach won Saturday's Dewhurst Stakes (YouTube video of race here) at Newmarket by 2 3/4 lengths, justifying his 3/10 starting price and that came after taking the National Stakes over in Ireland last month. And now, "like father, like son" he will start his three year old season in 2013 as the antepost favourite for the opening two Colts classics; 5/1 to win the 2000 Guineas and 12/1 to win the Derby.
In winning the Dewhurst, Dawn Approach did come under some pressure but that could be attributed to his lazy running style and once jockey, Kevin Manning, gave him a reminder, there was never any doubt of the outcome. He finished comfortably clear of stablemate, Leitir Mor, in second place and three lengths clear of the Ballydoyle entry George Vancouver.
In Saturdays other major Group One juvenile race, the Middle Park Stakes, run over six furlongs, it was the Clive Cox trained Reckless Abandon who held off fellow joint favourite, Moohaajim, winning by a neck with Gale Force Ten a further neck behind in third.
The win means that the son of Exchange Rate remains unbeaten after five starts which includes the GroupOne Prix Morny at Deauville in August. The win at Newmarket came after a fierce battle with Moohaajim where the lead changed hands at least twice on the final furlong. However, Gerald Mosse, onboard the winner, held off the challenge of Adam Kirby.
Unlike Dawn Approach, it would appear that the odds compilers have yet to be convinced about Reckless Abandon, who remains a 20/1 chance to win the Guineas next May and he doesn't feature in the Derby market as breeding suggests a mile will be his optimum trip.

Look at the lines of your home—it might give you the perfect spot to place a deck (and make mowing or other yard maintenance chores easier to boot). Extending the roofline of this home over the deck helps the area look as if it's always been part of the landscape.
Instead of clearing the ground when you add a deck, take advantage of what's already there. An old tree isn't just a great element of the yard—it gives the deck more privacy by creating a soft, natural canopy, too. Lush plantings around the edge of the deck also help it feel softer and more secluded.
A pergola can do triple duty for your deck. Beyond helping your space feel cozier, a pergola creates shade and adds interest—especially if you enhance it with hanging baskets, planters, or light fixtures.
Background noise from a busy street can be just as annoying as seeing your neighbor's weedy back yard. Solve this kind of problem by adding a fountain or other water feature to your deck. Even a gentle trickle of water can make a big difference in how much you enjoy your time outdoors!
Evergreen trees are first-rate picks for creating privacy. They block any view and offer a lush, green backdrop. Plus, dense evergreens help filter noise. There's an evergreen for almost every garden; they come in a wide range of colors, shapes, and sizes—including columnar types that grow no more than 2 feet across.
Gardeners in warm-winter climates know how tropical plants can create almost instant privacy. Even gardeners in the North can enjoy these fast-growing, big-leaf plants: Grow them as houseplants and move them in and out each season, or treat them as exotic annuals.
Amp up the privacy offered by a pergola with the addition of a trellis. Even though this trellis doesn't completely block the view beyond, it provides enough protection to make the deck more enjoyable. Plant vines along the deck line and watch as they wind their way up the trellis over the seasons.
A traditional awning offers protection from the blazing summer sun—as well as from the neighbors' second-floor windows. Awnings come in a range of styles and options, including retractable types that you can use whenever you want.
If blocking the view of your entire deck isn't possible, then work on a section of it. Here, a beautiful garden of shrubbery and grasses creates a beautiful focal point that draws your eye away from the more-visible deck areas behind it. Planting the garden so close to the stairs also helps the deck feel more intimate and secluded.
Vines are the ultimate plant for providing privacy. Here, a hearty vine forms a lush roof over this tiny deck. It also provides an extra privacy "wall" as it scrambles up the support posts and pergola.
A few small trees dotted around the edge of your deck create a soft, leafy curtain without taking up too much space in the yard. Add drama and interest by selecting different types of trees. Small maples (such as Amur maple), for example, provide bold fall colors, while crabapples offer springtime blooms.
Check out the wide variety of outdoor-friendly fabrics to create a perfect little privacy screen. Sheets of fabric sewn like curtains and hung from curtain rods or wire are quick and easy to put together. Plus, they're inexpensive—so you can create a couple of different options to fit your mood.


Basketball is an extremely popular team sport which is followed closely by sports news providers. The sport includes two teams that compete against one another to score the highest number of goals within a stipulated time frame. Both teams consist of five players each who attempt to score these points by passing the ball through the 10 foot high hoop also called the goal. There certainly are a list of organized rules that all these players must play by.
After the given time the team that creates the highest score is declared the winner, however, at times in the event of a tie, an overtime or additional time may be given to conclude the overall game.
There are numerous strategies which are carried out to advance the standing of the team and increase its probability of winning. Positioning of players, throwing and dribbling techniques, defense and offence strategies all play a very vital role in this. It is often seen that mostly the tallest player in the team is placed in the centre or even in the forward positions and the guard positions are provided to players that are good at handling the ball well or are high on speed.
Basketball too, much like American football, initially developed and rose to popularity as a college game. The 1st inter-college basketball match is said to held in 1895 in Hamline University. As basketball increasingly began to remain in sports news the need for a basketball association arose. This led to the formation of the Basketball Association of America in 1946. The name of this association was then changed to the National Basketball Association following its merger with the National Basketball League in 1949.
The National Basketball Association or even the NBA as it's more popularly known is made up of 30 teams from North America and zone team from Canada. The NBA is the recognized governing body for basketball in the USA as decided by way of the International Basketball Federation. The regular NBA basketball season sees a total of 82 games being played by each team. Of those 41 games are played in the teams home base along with the rest in other locations.
Some of the most comprehensive basketball sports news is provided in Sporting News, that is an American sports news magazine. It follows the NBA games closely and in addition gives an unofficial, yet very widely publicized, "Executive of the Year" award to the general manager of the best performing team.
