Bullet the Blue Sky: Su-35S Named One of the World's Deadliest Fighters
Breath-taking footage has emerged on the Internet which shows state tests of the advanced Russian tank T-14, according to the Russian newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
A four-minute YouTube clip shows the T-14's crew of three implementing an array of tasks during what appear to be tests conducted by the military.
In particular, the T-14 performs several 360 degree turns, and then rushes down the road at a speed close to its maximum.
Apparently, the clip was filmed in the wintertime, which is why the Armata looks especially impressive against the backdrop of a snow-covered landscape. The video ends with the T-14 successfully destroying a target using its 125-mm gun.
In early March 2016, Sergey Chemezov, head of the Russian state corporation Rostec, confirmed in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that the T-14 is already being mass produced.

Tank Killer: New Armata Gets Really Big Gun
The tank's interior features a capsule that keeps the crew isolated from ammunition and fuel, which could increase chances for the crew's survival if the tank is hit.
Currently, the tank sports the standard 125-mm cannon, but designers say it could easily be outfitted with a much more powerful 152-mm cannon in the future.

Undoubtedly very clever, but I do wonder what the purpose of it is.

I was amazed by what it could do and how closely it followed the old HyperCard look.

Specialty Insurance for False Claims Act Investigations: Coverage Gaps Leave Healthcare Providers Exposed and Vulnerable
Healthcare providers continue to remain at the greatest risk of having to defend against False Claims Act (FCA) investigations, particularly those alleging billing errors and overpayments. See 2016 DOJ FCA Statistics. Not surprisingly, healthcare providers increasingly look for insurance products to help manage that risk.
Healthcare providers have discovered that they generally cannot rely on their standard Errors and Omissions (E&O) policies to manage the risk of FCA suits. See e.g., Jenkins v. St. Paul Fire & Marine Ins. Co., 248 F.3d 1164 (8th Cir. 2001) (unpublished decision); MSO Washington, Inc. v. RSUI Group, Inc., No. C12-6090 RJB, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 65957 (W.D. Wash. May 8, 2013). Standard E&O policies most often are limited to claims for damages arising out of the rendering of, or failure to render "professional services." And, FCA claims alleging the overbilling of a federal healthcare agency (i.e. a billing error) are generally deemed not to arise out of a healthcare provider's "professional services" and thus are not covered. See HorizonWest, Inc. v. St. Paul Fire & Marine Insurance Co., 214 F. Supp. 2d 1074 (E.D. Cal. 2002), aff'd, 45 F. App'x 752 (9th Cir. 2002).
To fill this coverage gap in the standard E&O policy, some insurance carriers now offer specialty healthcare errors and omissions coverage. These policies purport to cover defense costs, penalties, and other losses due to investigations into healthcare billing errors. Though a positive development, these insurance products can have potential limitations that healthcare providers should analyze closely in deciding what insurance to purchase.
Some of these limitations were on prominent display in the case of My Left Foot Children's Therapy, LLC v. Certain Underwriters at Lloyd's London, 207 F. Supp.3d 1168 (D. Nevada 2016). In that case, Underwriters issued an E&O insurance policy to a provider of physical, occupational, and speech therapy for children (hereinafter "Children's"). Underwriters agreed in their policy to defend Children's against any claim or suit arising from "any act, error or omission in the rendering of, or failure to render Professional Services . . . to others by any Insured person." The Policy defined professional services as "pediatric physical, occupational, aquatic and speech therapy Services."
In addition to E&O coverage, Children's also purchased specialty healthcare coverage in the form of a "billing errors endorsement" (the "Endorsement"). The Endorsement provided up to $25,000 of coverage for "any billing error proceeding made against an Insured" during the one year Endorsement Period beginning April 15, 2015.
On June 30, 2015, Children's received notice of a qui tam action filed against it alleging that it violated the FCA by allegedly billing Medicaid for therapy services that were not medically necessary. Children's timely submitted a claim to Underwriters seeking coverage for the costs to defend the action and indemnification for potential damages.
Underwriters denied E&O coverage, but agreed, subject to a reservation of rights, to provide Children's a defense under the Endorsement. Given that $25,000 would not begin to cover the cost of defending the FCA suit, Children's filed a declaratory judgment action challenging Underwriters' denial of coverage. Children's argued that the Endorsement provided coverage, that such coverage was not subject to a $25,000 limit, and that Children's was entitled to $2,000,000 of coverage.
Underwriters countered that the FCA action did not trigger coverage under the Endorsement because the qui tam had been filed on October 28, 2014, and thus was pending prior to the Endorsement's April 15, 2015 initial effective date.
The Court found that the Endorsement did provide Children's coverage against the qui tam. Qui tam lawsuits under the FCA, the Court observed, have a "unique procedural status" and often remain under seal for months after being filed. Id. at 1173. The Court explained that, "it is commonly understood that a qui tam suit under the FCA becomes active once the defendant has notice of the lawsuit and that notice most often occurs at the time of service." Id. (citing 31 U.S.C.3730(b)(3)). Thus, in determining whether the action was pending on or prior to the initial effective date of the Endorsement, the Court utilized the date the qui tam became active, i.e., the date that Children's received notice of it, not the date when the relator first filed it under seal. Because Children's did not learn of the qui tam until June 30, 2015, the Court found that it fell with the coverage period of the Endorsement. The Court noted further that it was "not subject to dispute" that the qui tam qualified as a dispute over "billing errors" which was also within the scope of the Endorsement. Id. at 1173.
Though it found coverage, the Court also found that coverage was limited based on the Endorsement's clear language that "a sub-limit of liability of $25,000 . . . applies to any billing error proceeding." Thus, Underwriters were required to provide Children's with a maximum of $25,000 in coverage, leaving Children's to go out of pocket for the remainder of what will likely be a very costly defense and settlement.
My Left Foot demonstrates the limitations with some specialty healthcare policies, and it presents three takeaways for any healthcare provider concerned with managing the risk associated with a FCA investigation. First, a healthcare provider concerned with such risks should examine its existing E&O policy, paying particular attention to how the company's professional services are described in the policy declarations and how the policy defines "professional services," in order to determine whether that definition would encompass allegations of billing errors. If the policy language does not encompass such allegations, the provider may wish to purchase additional coverage, such as a billing errors endorsement. Second, if a healthcare provider currently has specialty healthcare coverage purporting to cover FCA claims, the provider should review any sublimits contained therein and assess whether they are sufficient to indemnify the insured for the cost to defend and settle an FCA suit. Third, if a provider has to make a claim under such a policy, it should bear in mind that in determining whether a FCA action arose during the policy period of a professional liability policy (and thereby triggered coverage), courts are likely to use the date that the provider received notice of the qui tam action as opposed to the date the action was filed under seal.

Claude Puel had said in the build-up to the last 16 tie that there was now extra motivation for his players to lift some silverware this season in memory of chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and the fixture had been delayed until now because of the tragic death of Khun Vichai and four others in the helicopter crash following the West Ham United game.
That meant the winners already knew who they would face in the quarter finals and it would be holders and Premier League champions Manchester City, albeit on home soil.
City boss Claude Puel made nine changes to the side that battled with ten men for over an hour to claim a point at Brighton on Saturday.
Only Jonny Evans and Demarai Gray kept their places from the 1-1 draw. Danny Ward, the hero of the penalty shoot-out at Wolverhampton Wanderers in the last round, replaced Kasper Schmeichel in goals while there was a first start for eight months for Danny Simpson at right-back.
Christian Fuchs also came in at left back for the rested Ben Chilwell, while Caglar Soyuncu was given only his second start of the season as Evans' partner in defence.
Adrien Silva was given only his fourth start of the season in midfield alongside Wilfred Ndidi, who was dropped to the subs' bench at Brighton.
Fousseni Diabate was given his first start of the season on the right flank alongside Gray, Kelechi Iheanacho and Jamie Vardy, who captained the side.
With several of his first team squad nursing injuries, Puel looked to the under-23s and called up 19-year-old South African attacking midfielder Khanya Leshabela to fill a place on the bench.
Southampton's perilous league position meant Premier League survival had become a bigger incentive this season but under-pressure manager Mark Hughes made only five changes to his starting line-up.
The theme of City's starts this season has been slow start, and this was yet another laboured first half display, although more understandable considering the amount of changes and the number of players making rare appearances.
City had very few glimpses of the Saints's goal as there was far too much scrappy play.
Demarai Gray was the one bright spark and he made several impressive runs but couldn't find the finishing touch, while City's most promising moment came in first half added time when Kelechi Iheanacho's quickly taken throw-in released Vardy down the left and he cut inside the area, but the there was little support and his low cross was just turned past his own far post by Jannick Vestergaard.
The Saints were not much better but striker Michael Obefemi had the best chance of the half when the visitors broke quickly from a Christian Fuchs long throw into their own box and the youngster took on Danny Simpson, who understandably looked rusty, but Danny Ward came to the rescue with his feet.
City fans had to endure a few other threatening moments and Nathan Redmond fired wide towards the end but neither side deserved to have the lead at half time.
There wasn't much improvement in the quality of the game at the start of the second half until City did start to put a passage of play together close to the hour mark when after some neat interplay Gray's deflected shot found Iheanacho at the far post but he headed over.
It was Iheanacho last contribution as he was promptly replaced by Shinji Okazaki and Puel also dragged off Silva for Papy Mendy.
The Saints blew a great chance to open the scoring just after the hour mark when Nathan Redmond ran at the City defence and smashed his shot on the underside of the bar. The rebound fell invitingly to Obafemi but he miscued his finish wide with the open goal at his mercy.
Who is Khanya Leshabela - Leicester City winger included in Carabao Cup squad?
City tried to get some momentum and Vardy teed up Diabate, who was denied by a last-ditch tackle, which demonstrated when City played with some energy and intensity they could be a threat, but for most of the game their play was laboured and ponderous.
There was finally some drama in the 84th minute when Redmond cut into the City box and rode a challenge and the ball ran free for Steven Davis to score. The goal was given but then overruled by VAR for a handball as the ball bounced up onto Redmond's arm in the build-up.
It was another huge let-off for City after the Obafemi miss.
There was more controversy as Evans went down in the box under a challenge from Hojbjerg and again VAR was consulted, but this time not in City's favour.
City were further reprieved at the death when Ward tipped Manolo Gabbiadini's effort onto the underside of the bar and Soyuncu completed the clearance to take the game to penalties.
The penalties were taken with more quality than the game as none were missed and the shoot-out went to sudden death, and it was Gabbiadini who blinked first as Ward saved his effort, leaving Mendy to score the crucial winning spot kick.
City had Ward and VAR to thank for their passage to the last eight.

NGC 2217 è una galassia a spirale barrata nella costellazione del Cane Maggiore.

È individuabile 3 gradi a nord della stella ; si presenta in un telescopio di modeste dimensioni come una chiazza chiara e ben delineata. Un riflettore superiore ai 200mm di apertura consente di apprezzarne i dettagli: il nucleo centrale, molto concentrato, è attraversato da una barra che lo percorre in senso NW-SE, con i bracci esili che si dispongono attorno ad esso, formando un anello perfetto. Dista dalla Via Lattea circa 62 milioni di anni-luce.

"With Open Eyes" (New York: Voyager, 1995) features more than 200 works from the Windy City's renowned Art Institute of Chicago. This CD-ROM feast for the eyes can be either an interactive learning experience or a passive slide show: Perusing Renoir's jugglers and Hopper's nighthawks is an incredibly accessible experience for the discerning expert and unapologetic art neophyte alike.
In 1979, Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party (a feminist reinterpretation of The Last Supper) shocked the art world. Her show asserted a simple message: Women deserve a place at history's table. (The installation consisted of "place settings"–plates transfigured into works of art, representing famous women throughout history.) This spring, Chicago revisits her work with a reinstallation at UCLA at the Armand Hammer Museum, opening April 24, and with the publication of The Dinner Party: A Symbol for Our Heritage (New York: Viking, 1996), commemorating the show. Chicago chronicles her own history in her companion book, Beyond the Flower: The Autobiography of a Feminist Artist (New York: Viking, 1996).
Andrea Modica's Treadwell (San Francisco: Chronicle Books, 1995) contains striking photographs from upstate New York, shot between 1986 and 1995. Although the subjects are not related by time or place, these fragments of isolated rural lives are drawn together by her artistry. Pulitzer Prize-winning author E. Annie Proulx introduces the work: "We may not recognize these faces or these rooms or these ruined patches of landscape, but looking at them is like staring into a mirror."

With a drop from a giant bucket, thousands of little yellow rubber ducks are ceremoniously dropped into Fall River at Nicky's Resort where they begin their journey to a festival at Riverside Plaza in downtown Estes Park. The ducks are scooped out of the water one-by-one by waiting volunteers. It's all part of the benefit Estes Park Duck Race.
The 2016 Duck Race Festival, May 7, offers expanded activities in Bond Park and George Hix Riverside Plaza, the Duck Waddle 5K and a scavenger hunt hosted by local businesses. From beer to pancakes, and interactive games for the kids to live music, the festival promises fun for all ages, according to 2016's "Big Duck" Rene Moquin.
The board also decided to increase the number of events on May 7 in Bond Park to make it a day-long festival. On race day Bond Park will feature family fun, music, activities and more. Stop by the "Outdoor Theater" and watch a free showing of the Rocky Mountain National Park Centennial Film, Wildlife, Wilderness & Wonder. The 20-minute short film will be shown all day. Other new events include the scavenger hunt and 5K race, a beer garden, a pancake breakfast, interactive games for children, bounce house, photo booth, live entertainment on stage and several food vendors. And, of course, the main event will be the duck race itself.
Reestablishing "collaborative relationships" with several entities including the Lodging Association, the downtown businesses, partner organizations and the Running Club is also a new priority.
Major prizes will inspire travel to exciting destinations this year. A $20 duck adoption will mean a chance at winning a trip to New Orleans, San Francisco or Las Vegas for two for third place. The four-day and three-night package is worth up to $2,000. Second place earns the adoptee a trip to Disneyland in California or Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for two. The four-day and three-night package is worth up to $3,000. The Disneyland option includes three-day park hopper passes and hotel. The Puerto Vallarta trip includes accommodations at a beachfront, four-star all-inclusive resort.
The Grand Prize trip is to the Emerald Isle for two, worth up to $6,000. The seven-day and six-night Ireland package includes sightseeing, hotels and some meals. All of the major prizes include airfare from Denver and round-trip transportation to hotels. Columbine Travel in Estes Park is arranging the vacation prizes.
Offering travel prizes adds to the general excitement surrounding the race, according to Duck Race Committee Member Scott Thompson. "We heard so many positive comments about last year's prizes, we decided to offer some new options for 2016," he said.
The major travel prizes are just the tip of the iceberg. Due to the generosity of major sponsors and local area merchants, there are prizes for 100s of entries.
Ever since being named "Big Duck" last year, Moquin says he likes to remind himself what the annual Duck Race—the oldest and largest annual fund raising event in town—is really all about. The numbers are impressive. The race has raised over $2.2 million for local charities and groups since 1989. Last year's race netted $111,000 for Estes Valley beneficiaries. Selling adoption forms may be the end game, but the ability of participating organizations to have the resources to serve the Estes Park community is ultimately the goal.
"Because of our efforts the arts will prosper in our community, low cost housing can be provided, children from single parent families will get a head start with affordable preschool, at risk children in this community will have partners who can show them the way, seniors can rely on meals on wheels and companionship, and folks in the last days of their lives can rest peacefully in a hospice program," he said.
As an added attraction during the Duck Race Festival weekend, merchants in downtown Estes Park will set up tables outside their businesses for the annual spring sidewalk sale Saturday and Sunday. Great deals are easy to find.
Everything adds up to a wonderful experience according to Moquin. "Estes Park is a dream vacation destination that nestles against Rocky Mountain National Park. Recreational opportunities abound. Activities and festivals are offered every season, year round. The Estes Valley boasts abundant wildlife including majestic elk, mule deer, bobcats, bears, marmot, foxes and mountain lions." he said.
Festivities get underway at Nicky's Resort at 11 a.m. on race day. Ducks go into the water at 1 p.m. and activities continue in Riverside Plaza until the last duck swims past the finish line. Festival activities in Bond Park and Riverside Plaza take place from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
The process is simple to participate. Simply adopt a duck or a flock of ducks for a fee of $20 each, or $21 for each online adoption, and $19 of what is donated will benefit one of the 64 charitable organizations selected at the time of adoption. The more duck adoptions sold by the individual charities, the more money they can raise.
The 2016 Estes Park Rotary Duck Race will keep visitors entertained from early morning until late afternoon in so many places that it will be impossible to miss the fun. Most events are free of charge. Here's a recap of the entertainers and activities in Estes Park on Saturday, May 7.
8 – 10 a.m. Pancake Breakfast sponsored Longs Peak Rotary Foundation and Kiwanis Club. Pancakes, sausage, juice or coffee for $5 per person.
9 a.m. Duck Waddle 5K foot race departs from Bond Park and follows a route that features views of the Fall River and Rocky Mountain National Park, finishing at Bond Park. Register online at epmarathon.org. Cost $25/adult and $23/seniors includes a duck adoption; $23/youth. All registrants get a race shirt. Fee increases by $5 after May 2.
10 a.m. Duck Hunt. Pick up a game page at Bond Park, visit 20 listed businesses, find the hidden duck at each and collect a sticker. Return the game page by 2 p.m. to Bond Park for a prize drawing. Sponsor: Downtown Business Partners.

One of the main difficulties experienced by candidates doing the IELTS Reading test is they do not have enough time to complete the test. It is, therefore, essential to read both efficiently and effectively.
There are a few main skills that you will need in order to do well in the IELTS Reading test. It is useful to apply the following hints for each passage that is given.
(a) Study the passage by noting: titles, subheadings, illustrations, diagrams, any print in boldface or italics.
(b) Study key parts of the passage by skimming. Skimming is reading fast to get the gist or the general idea of the text. There are different techniques of doing skimming. You can run your eyes over the passage getting the general meaning, not stopping at words that you do not understand as this will slow you down. The important thing with skimming is speed. You could just read the title/heading, subheadings and illustrations if there are any.
Another way to skim is to just read the first paragraph which often focuses on the main idea. The first sentence of each paragraph is usually the topic sentence which expresses the key points of the paragraph. Generally, the concluding paragraph provides a summary of the given passage.
An important part of "comprehending" a given passage or part of a passage (a paragraph) is to understand its theme. A theme is, in fact, the main idea or concept.
If a reader can locate and/or understand the theme or main idea, then comprehending the rest of the passage becomes a lot easier.

Many Homes Still Without Roofs in Puerto Rico, 2 Years After María
At least 30,000 households are still living without a roof on the two-year anniversary of Hurricane Maria making landfall. Organizations have stepped up to help rebuild homes
By Cristina Corujo	• Published at 12:07 pm on September 19, 2019
Amarilis González
When Doña Milagros Matos Márquez and her husband Don Cruz Márquez received the news that Hurricane María was approaching Trujillo Alto in Puerto Rico, they expected some rain and maybe a little bit of wind, like with previous storms. Instead María blew their roof off once the storm made landfall exactly two years ago on Friday.
In the months after the hurricane hit, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) distributed 125,981 tarps to the island's municipalities. At the same time the agency also provided 59,469 blue roofs, which are temporary roofs professionally installed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
At least 30,000 households across the island still live without a roof, former Gov. Rosselló said in May. Until recently the Márquez family was among them, after FEMA denied Matos Márquez's request for help and her insurance company didn't respond.
President Trump has said multiple times that the federal response in Puerto Rico since María made landfall on Sept. 20, 2017, has been great, rating it a 10 out of 10. But the island is still waiting for delayed disaster relief funds. Last week, FEMA ended restrictions they had placed in July over Puerto Rico to manage recovery funds amid the government's crisis that ultimately led to the governor's resignation along with members of his cabinet. Overall, Congress has allocated $42.8 billion, while the island has only received $14 billion so far.
In the meantime, organizations and private citizens have taken charge of reconstruction efforts in the wake of one of the country's worst natural disasters, with an official death toll of 2,975.
"They have been our angels," Matos Márquez said about the nonprofit organization "Techos Pa' Mi Gente" (Roof for my People), which has been rebuilding her home since mid-July. The couple had been living on the first floor of their house, since the second floor was completely destroyed after they lost their roof.

"Techos Pa' Mi Gente's" founder Amarilis González was a schoolteacher who, in the month after the storm struck, saw the same three houses without a roof on her way to work everyday.
Out of frustration, she took to Facebook and wrote about how she wished she could help. Messages started pouring in despite poor cell service across the island. She followed up on Oct. 9, 2017: "DONATE A TARP Do you want to help Puerto Rico? Thousands of families need a tarp to cover their houses... I have decided to take a step forward and request my fellow worldwide friends to donate tarps."
"I received tarps everyday," added González. Once she had enough tarps she asked in another post for volunteers to help her start putting up these temporary roofs.
"We installed hundreds of tarps," González said. She would go on to quit her teaching job to fully dedicate herself to the project. For the first three months, "Techos Pa' Mi Gente" only worked on installing tarps. As time passed by González changed her focus to home reconstruction.
Through donations from private citizens and companies, she and her team of volunteers started to rebuild houses with the help of people locally and nationally.
"Once a month, we have carpenters from the U.S. helping us out," she said.
González and her volunteers take seven days to rebuild roofs when volunteers arrive on the island exclusively to work on the project. If using local volunteers, it might take about a month, since they can only work on weekends due to the volunteers' day jobs. González has experts who guide her and the nonprofit follows guidelines from the Professional College of Engineers and Land Surveyors of Puerto Rico, to make sure these houses are more resistant to any other potential threat.
González said that due to the bad state of the houses on the island, the organization spends at least $5,000 for each repair with money that comes from donations. Some repairs cost more.
Data obtained by The New York Times last year says two-thirds of the people in Puerto Rico who were granted help by FEMA to repair their homes received less than $3,000.
Matos Márquez has been grateful for Techos Pa' Mi Gente's help. "When I went upstairs and saw I had a roof and walls I kissed them and said 'Thank you God,'" she said tearfully.
Seeing the reaction of people she's helped has inspired González to stay committed. "This project can't stop," she said.
"Techos Pa' Mi Gente" has helped 48 families so far and has almost a thousand requests of people in need.
Iris Torrado Alvarado is one of those thousands waiting for help. For Torrado Alvarado, living under a tarp has become her new normal in Coamo, located in the south of the island. FEMA gave her two blue tarps, for her house and her mother's house, and $500 to cover food lost during the emergency. She wasn't granted any other help from the agency because she didn't meet the requirements needed. Both houses were under Torrado Alvarado's mom name. Following FEMA's requirements, you can't get assistance for two properties that are under the same name.
As of Sept. 20, 2019, Torrado Alvarado's house in Coamo, Puerto Rico, still has no roof.
Since the storm, Torrado Alvarado has been looking for ways to fix her house and her mother's, where she now lives, due to the poorer conditions of her own home. The 49-year-old woman lives on the second floor of her mother's three story house.
"It's been so hard... I feel helpless," said Torrado Alvarado, who not only is struggling due to the destruction, but is also grieving her mother's death in March 2018. Although Torrado Alvarado's mother had cancer, she says that the emotional toll experienced during the aftermath of the hurricane played a big role in her declining health.
"I'm sure that seeing our homes destroyed advanced her death," she said.
Two years after María, Torrado Alvarado still has the tarp on the third floor of her mom's house, one patched together by her husband because the original FEMA tarp broke. This has caused leaks on the floor were Torrado Alvarado and her husband sleep.
Worried about the thousands of Puerto Ricans who are living in similar conditions, Maricarmen Más Rodríguez, a member of Puerto Rico's House of Representatives, said she wrote a letter in June to FEMA asking the agency to replace damaged tarps in Puerto Rico. She said she never received a response.
A FEMA spokesperson told NBC that they received the letter and that it's under review.
"This situation has to be taken care of," Más Rodríguez said, adding that what Puerto Ricans have lived through is unfair. "Since we are not a state we've been discriminated and we deserve an equal treatment."
Más Rodríguez has referred people to local organizations that are assisting Puerto Ricans in need.
Aside from Techo Pa' Mi Gente, other organizations working to rebuild homes in Puerto Rico include Habitat of Humanity Puerto Rico, Enactus Puerto Rico, Ricky Martin's Foundation and Rehace.
Also among the groups is CUNY Service Corps based out the City University of New York. Melissa Fernández, the director of Service Corps Puerto Rico, has traveled three times to the island with 500 students who have volunteered to help in the rebuilding process. Some of the municipalities they've operated in include Loiza, Orocovis, Arroyo, Rio Grande and Vega Baja.
As a Puerto Rican, Fernández feel especially drawn to the project.
"It's been one of the most important and meaningful experiences of my life," she said. "It makes me want to work even harder to make sure everyone has a roof over their heads."

Stone mason celebrates 40 years working on Durham Cathedral
By Kate Proctor
Durham Cathedral stone mason Iain Wilmshurst celebrates 40 years working on one of the country's most impressive buildings
Iain Wilmshurst, who has worked at Durham Cathedral for 40 years
A stonemason who has clocked up 40 years making sure Durham Cathedral looks its best says he still can't fathom how it was built through manpower alone.
Talented Iain Wilmshurst has spent decades restoring intricate spiral staircases and windows since he started work in 1974 as a 16-year-old apprentice.
However, it is the hundreds of men who built the 900-year-old structure in 1093AD that he is humbly in awe of, despite his many decades of hard graft.
"I still just don't know how they did it," said Iain, whose mother and father and three daughters have also all worked at the cathedral.
"How they managed to do it years ago when you think of the stuff we've got now is quite something. It was just hundreds of people and sheer manpower."
Despite 40 years of dedicated restoration work, Iain said he has no plans to hang up his chisel just yet and hopes to put in another 10 years before retirement.
He will be instrumental in the planned £3.9m Open Treasure project which starts in June, and he said it will bring him great joy to open up parts of the cathedral to visitors for the first time.
"This is about changing the monks' dormitory and the kitchen into an exhibition area and opening up parts of the cathedral that have never been seen by the public before.
"For me, though, I still really like the inside of the building because that was the way it was always intended to be. Outside has been decorated over the years but inside is the most impressive bit," said the 56-year-old, who lives at Langley Moor in County Durham.
Iain, who is now the cathedral's works yard manager, got his first job fresh out of the former Whinney Hill Secondary School in Durham City as an apprentice stonemason.
At the time, his father John worked in the cathedral's finance office, while his mother Frances worked as a laboratory assistant at the Chorister School. Those close links have never wavered either, and his wife Jackie currently works in the restaurant and his daughters Fiona, 28, Rebecca, 24, and Holly, 21, have also held part time summer jobs there.
He said: "I didn't have any plans to go to university or college and my parents both worked up at the cathedral and heard about the apprenticeship so I decided to give it a go."
Although he had no formal experience in stonemasonry, he started a four year apprenticeship and his first job was working on a spiral staircase for the deanery. Stonemasonry was the main focus, he also learned skills in bricklaying, plastering and drainage work.
Work on Josephs window on the cathedral's north-side has also been his most challenging task so far.
"That was the most challenging job 12 years ago. The window is not geometrically correct because it was cut by hand 200 years ago so nothing really works the way it should and I had to make the stones fit."
Reflecting on his 40 year career, he added: "My mum would be so proud because she really worried what I would do when I left school and I'm quite proud of how far I've come too; it's a great honour to work at such a world-renowned building."

Een roltong, ook wel rolfluit genoemd, is een feestartikel dat bestaat uit een fluitje met daaraan een opgerold gedeelte. Het opgerolde gedeelte ontrolt zich als er in het fluitje geblazen wordt. Omdat er in dat gedeelte een veer zit, rolt de fluit zich ook weer in zodra met blazen gestopt wordt. Bij het blazen lijkt het net alsof de persoon een lange tong maakt.
De fluit zelf is meestal gemaakt van plastic, het uitrollende gedeelte van papier, maar ook wel van glanzend folie. De fluit is meestal een conventionele fluit, maar wordt ook wel uitgevoerd als een mirliton, een fluit met een trillend membraan. De veer kan gemaakt zijn van metaal of kunststof. Het is ook mogelijk een roltong te maken zonder veer, omdat stijf opgerold papier na een paar uur wachten een materiaalgeheugen heeft zodat het vanzelf weer terugrolt. Er bestaan ook roltongen zonder fluit.

Roltongen kunnen zijn voorzien van allerlei decoraties, passend bij het doel. Er zijn roltongen met decoraties voor kinderfeestjes of voor feesten voor volwassenen. Roltongen zijn goedkoop en hebben geen lange levensduur. Ze kunnen daarom gezien worden als een wegwerpartikel.

Wetenswaardigheden
 Voetbaltrainer Barry Hughes kreeg in een wedstrijd van Haarlem tegen AZ '67 in 1978 de lachers op zijn hand toen hij met een rolfluit naar de Duitse trainer Georg Kessler floot.
Het Guiness Book of Records vermeldt dat op 21 november 2009 een record aantal mensen, namelijk 6961, tegelijk op roltongen bliezen. Dit record werd gevestigd door de fanclub van Nana Mizuki in Tokyo.

Paul Graham's latest essay makes an impassioned plea for more liberal immigration policies in the United States for high-tech workers. Software startups are desperate for great developers, he writes, and the notion that we can meet this need simply by training more Americans is idiocy. The only way to satisfy Silicon Valley's hunger for engineering talent is to open the floodgates and let in more skilled foreigners.
The essay's central thesis is convincing. America's immigration policy is idiotic. It is clearly in the country's interest to let in more highly skilled workers. And you can't just turn any random individual, even a highly intelligent and motivated one, into a great developer. To a large extent the best programmers are born, not made.
Paul is doubtless correct, as well, that "if we let more great programmers into the US, they'll want to come." The implication of his title, that every developer in the world would like to move to America, is an exaggeration. Deal with it: hyperbolic titles are how internet authors get hits nowadays. What he really means, as his last paragraph makes clear, is that the country needs to let in "a few thousand great programmers a year". That seems reasonable.
The assumption I would question is that companies can only benefit from foreign programming talent if it is sitting in the same room as the rest of the team.
In truth, the very same technology that has heightened the appetite for great developers to a fever pitch has made it much easier to work with them remotely. When I first started out in the software contracting business, in 1998, there was no Skype (and definitely no Slack), no Basecamp, no agile software development and no smartphones. Over the past 15 odd years it has become dramatically easier to manage teams of distributed programmers productively using modern internet-based communication and project management tools.
Of course, having everyone is one room is the best option. Face-to-face discussions are always easiest. Impromptu brainstorming around the coffee machine can lead to important insights. Working across time zones mean that work days may have only a few hours of overlap. But the trade-off isn't between working with great developers remotely or having them on-site. If you don't want to work with remote talent then you'll probably have to lower your hiring standards significantly or do without those extra developers entirely.
Even removing all visa restrictions completely wouldn't mean that every great developer in the world would be aching to immigrate to America. Having lived, worked and hired great developers in Europe for over 20 years, I can say with assurance that there are many who patently don't want to move to Silicon Valley. Here in Europe we have rich history, diverse cultures, a less frenetic lifestyle and more colorful banknotes. Some would doubtless appreciate the chance to experience America firsthand, but even they don't necessarily want to live there for more than a couple of years.
Paul concludes his essay by saying that failure to take action to admit more high-tech workers would be a "colossal mistake". He's right. But companies shouldn't cling to the notion that every developer has to be sitting in their office to be of value to them. Experiments in outsourcing have not always been successful in the past, but the march of technology is making it easier and easier to work productively with remote developers. Ignoring this option would be an equally colossal mistake.


Beaver is a singer-songwriter with a passion for soul and blues music.
"When I first started out, I couldn't find a singer I liked and I couldn't find a drummer I liked, so I decided to do both," she said in a recent press release.
Raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Beaver is a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to music. Though she is a classically-trained violinist and a jazz-trained drummer, her sound is full of southern roots and influence. Beaver's music contains bluesy rumblings, jazzy sounds and rock-and-roll tracks. Beaver, 33, now resides in Austin, Texas, which is where her latest album was recorded.
"Tough as Love" is Beaver's fifth album. Her first four albums were all recorded with her band, the 24th Street Wailers, but "Tough as Love" will be her first release under her own name. After touring through Canada, Europe and all across America, Beaver is back on the road once more to share her music with her fans.
Ludmerer said that from the first song to the last, "Tough as Love" is rough, raw, fearless and moving.
Beaver's sound might be recognizable to music fans in Macon; with influences like Little Richard and Amy Winehouse, her style aligns with our southern music town. Her other influences include The Ramones, Billie Holiday and Queens of the Stone Age, among others.
Beaver has won numerous accolades; most recently, she was awarded Canada's 2018 Maple Blues Award for Drummer of the Year.
Lindsay Beaver will perform at The Creek Stage at The Rookery on 543 Cherry St. in downtown Macon on Saturday, April 13. Tickets are $10 each, and the show starts at 10:30 p.m.

Contrary to the news making rounds that he accused the former governor of Abia state, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu of being a fugitive who ran away from corruption trial, the APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole has denied the allegation, saying it is the handiwork of those who want to pitch him against the Abia North Senator-elect, ABN TV reports.
Reacting to the allegation, Oshiomhole said Orji Uzor Kalu was one of the best governors he had an encounter with as a Labour leader, stating that the former governor was never found wanton especially in the area of welfare of the state civil servants.
"I can never say ill of Orji Uzor Kalu. He was one of our best governors. As the NLC president, I never had issues with him about my workers. He is a forthright person and whatever he has with Obasanjo, only Obasanjo knows why he dragged him to EFCC. I respect Kalu, fine gentleman with integrity" he said.
The former Edo governor described Kalu as an asset to the nation, with wider network of acceptance within and outside Nigeria.
He called on Nigerians to ignore the report, accusing members of the opposition, the PDP of doing what they know how to do best.


lower your body's ability to fight infection.
often result in high blood sugar levels.
Your blood vessels bring oxygen and nutrients to your tissues, including your mouth, and remove wastes.
Diabetes causes the blood vessels to thicken and become less elastic, making you less resistant to infections, like periodontal disease.Diabetics often experience a decrease in the flow of saliva. This can lead to a condition called dry mouth, or xerostomia.
A lack of saliva allows plaque, the sticky film of food and bacteria, to build up easily on teeth. This accumulation of plaque is the main cause of periodontal disease, which can result in bone loss.
Having poorly controlled diabetes also means that there is often an excess level of glucose in the blood and saliva.
Some think a higher glucose level may encourage the growth of the bacteria that live in plaque and are responsible for periodontal disease.
We will work with your physician to monitor your diabetes and keep you in good health. You have to do your part by maintaining a meticulous oral homecare routine.
Together, we can help keep you healthy and free of periodontal disease.

Stockbridge is a city in Henry County, Georgia, United States with a population of 22,045 (2007 census). It is the hometown of the multi-platinum selling alternative rock/post-grunge band Collective Soul and home to one of the youngest starting pitchers ever to play for the Atlanta Braves, Kyle Davies, who also graduated from Stockbridge High School.
The area was settled in 1829 when Concord Methodist Church was organized near present today Old Stagecoach Road. It was granted a post office on April 5, 1847 named for a traveling Professor, Levi Stockbridge, who traveled through the area many times before the Post Office was built. He was said to be well known and respected in the community now named after him. Others contend that the city was named after Thomas Stock, who was State Surveyor and President of the Georgia State Senate in the 1820s.
In 1881, the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad was to pass through Stockbridge between Macon and Atlanta. The settlers who owned the land about Old Stockbridge asked so much for their land that two prominent Atlanta citizens, John W. Grant and George W. Adair, bought a tract about a mile south of Old Stockbridge and offered lots at a reasonable price. Here the railroad built their depot and many lots were sold. The depot was located about 600 feet (180 m) north of what is now North Henry Blvd but was destroyed by the Southern Railway in the early 1980s.

Torts: Viability of Negligence Claim vs Intentional Act
Posted by Ted A. Schmidt | Aug 28, 2018 | 0 Comments
Ryan v. Napier, __Ariz. Adv. Rep. __ No. CV-17-0325-PR (August 23, 2018) (J. Timmer)
CARELESS DECISION MAKING RESULTING IN INTENTIONAL ACT IS AN INTENTIONAL TORT AND NOT AN ACTIONABLE NEGLIGENCE CLAIM/NEGLIGENCE VS BATTERY
Plaintiff McDonald swerved his car into opposing traffic nearly hitting a car driven by a Pima County Sheriff deputy. A stop and go pursuit followed involving several deputies and traffic spikes. Plaintiff ultimately stopped his car, got out and staggered around to the passenger side of the car. Among the deputies at the scene was officer Klein who had a police dog named Barry trained to "bite and hold" on command. This deputy warned plaintiff "stop or you will be bitten." The plaintiff put his hands on the roof of the car. The police dog was intentionally released by the deputy and bit and seriously injured plaintiff. It was later determined the plaintiff was experiencing an extreme hypoglycemic event causing him to lack cognitive function to understand what was happening or to respond to the deputy's commands. No criminal charges were brought.
Plaintiff sued the canine officer and sheriff's department alleging the dog was "negligently released" and the police used "excessive force." Notably plaintiff did not assert claims of battery or deprivation of rights under § 1983. Defendant's motion for summary judgment arguing the intentional use of force could not constitute negligence was denied. The case was tried on the issue of whether the deputy acted negligently in releasing the dog and if so was he legally justified in so doing pursuant to A.R.S. § 13-409. Plaintiff's expert was permitted to testify that the legal standard for determining whether the officer was legally justified in releasing the dog was delineated in Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386 (1989), which sets forth factors pertinent to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 excessive force cases in the context of the Fourth Amendment. The trial court also instructed the jury that the burden of proving the release of the dog was justified fell on the defendants.
The jury found for the plaintiff awarding $617,500 and assessing 5% fault on the plaintiff. Defendants' motion for new trial was denied and they appealed. The Arizona Court of Appeals affirmed finding the plaintiff could recover under a negligence claim for the officer's "evaluation of whether to intentionally release" the dog. The Arizona Supreme Court vacated the court of appeals decision, reversed and remanded.
Here, Klein's "act," and the sole cause of McDonald's injuries, was Klein's intentional release of Barry to bite and hold McDonald. ("Thus, if the actor, having pointed a pistol at another, pulls the trigger, the act is the pulling of the trigger."). As previously explained, an intentional act cannot also constitute negligence. In short, Klein's internal evaluation of whether to release Barry and his decision to do so was part and parcel of his intent to inflict harmful or offensive contact on McDonald. . . We are further persuaded because permitting negligence liability to rest on an officer's internal evaluation of the need for intentionally inflicted force could permit plaintiffs to "plead around" statutory provisions that apply only to intentional tort claims.
For example, the sheriff is immune from liability for damages caused by an employee's felonious acts. A.R.S. § 12-820.05(B) and would not be required to indemnify an employee if the harm was caused by the commission of a felony. So that if Klein's release of the dog was found to be unjustified and to be an aggravated assault, see A.R.S. §§ 13-1203(A), -1204(A), the sheriff would be immune from liability, unless he knew that Klein had a propensity to act as he did, and would not be required to indemnify Klein.
Likewise, "statutory presumptions are triggered when a law enforcement officer intentionally uses physical force to arrest or capture a suspect and the suspect is injured. The officer is 'presumed to [have been] acting reasonably' in using physical force. A.R.S. § 12-716(A)(1). And the officer's employer is 'presumed to have reasonably hired and trained' its officers to use that physical force. Id. § 12-716(A)(2)."
To be clear, plaintiffs may plead a negligence claim for conduct that is independent of the intentional use of force or plead negligence and battery as alternate theories if the evidence supports each theory. For example, if the evidence here also supported a finding that Klein unintentionally dropped [the dog's] leash, resulting in the attack against McDonald, [or carelessly waited too long to order Barry to release] a negligence claim would have been appropriate.
Here the only viable claim under the facts presented was an intentional battery.
A.R.S. § 13-409 provides the defense of justification to excessive force cases where it is reasonable to believe the force is immediately necessary to effect an arrest, detention or prevent escape, it can reasonably be made known to the subject the purpose of the arrest and a reasonable person would believe the arrest or detention to be lawful. This defense does not apply to negligence actions essentially because it is redundant to the underlying determination of whether or not the officer acted reasonably or breached the standard of care. It would apply where a claim of battery is made. Defendants would have the burden to prove the defense where it is applicable.
Finally, it was error here to allow an expert to testify that the legal standard for determining whether the officer's actions were justified are those factors announced by the United States Supreme Court in Graham. It is for the trial court to instruct the jury on the law not an expert witness. Ariz. Const. art. VI, § 27. If reasonably relied upon by the expert, the expert could state what the factors are and that police officers are trained based upon these factors. Ariz. R. Evid. 703. But citing the case, the fact it was a decision by the Supreme Court or otherwise that it is the law to apply to the case is improper.

News World 'Tiger Who Came to Tea' author Judith Kerr dies aged 95
'Tiger Who Came to Tea' author Judith Kerr dies aged 95
Judith Kerr, the author of "The Tiger Who Came to Tea", has died at the age of 95 after a short illness, her publisher said.
"It is with great sadness that we announce that Judith Kerr OBE, author and illustrator of The Tiger Who Came to Tea, When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, Mog the Forgetful Cat and many other classic children's books, died at home yesterday aged 95 following a short illness," HarperCollins said.
Born in Berlin, Kerr's family left Germany in 1933 to escape the rise of the Nazi Party and came via Paris to England.
The family's struggle to get by as impoverished refugees in Paris and then wartime London formed the subject of Kerr's autobiographical trilogy that started with "When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit", published in 1971.
The book has been translated into many languages and taught to school children as an introduction to a dark chapter of history. It won the prestigious Youth Book Prize in Germany, and in 1993 a school was named after Kerr in her native Berlin.
In an interview with Reuters in 2015, Kerr said that as she had got older she had thought more often about the Jewish children from her generation who perished in the Holocaust, and of the lives they might have lived.
"If you've got a life that so many people didn't have, you can't waste it," she told Reuters.
As a young woman, Kerr worked as a textile designer, art teacher and script writer at the BBC, before taking time out from work to raise her and her husband Tom's two children.
It was while looking after her daughter Tacy when she was a toddler that Kerr made up the story of a little girl and her mother who are having tea at home when a friendly tiger arrives unannounced, eats all the food and then leaves, never to return.
"Talk the tiger," Tacy would often say, and years later, when both of Kerr's children were at school and she was wondering what to do next, she hit upon the idea of a book.
"The Tiger Who Came To Tea" came out in 1968 to critical acclaim and has been a bestseller ever since, with "Mog the Forgetful Cat" following in 1970, the first of a long series.
Kerr was often asked whether the tiger has a hidden meaning, and some people have suggested that it might represent Hitler or the Nazis, invading her home and stealing her possessions. Kerr dismissed this, saying the idea for the tiger simply came from a visit to the zoo with Tacy, and the creature was harmless.
"I never think about telling small children what to think," she told Reuters with a grin in 2015.

In this trilogy thriller, forensic sculptor Eve Duncan is still the prey of a vicious killer. She was taken for a reason. Chosen for her skills as a forensic sculptor. Abducted by the deranged father of a serial killer and forced to reconstruct his dead son's skull from bone fragments. Now Eve Duncan has escaped her captor—and she's running for her life. Alone. Unarmed. In the mountains of Colorado, Eve must use all of her strength, courage, and wits to survive this madman's obsession. But Jim Doane is not the only player in the game. While Joe Quinn, Jane MacGuire, and Kendra Michaels search for Eve in the abandoned mining town that could be her ultimate refuge—or her grave—a stranger with ties to her long-ago past is closing in, circling like a wolf, and Hunting Eve.
I'm a big Iris Johansen fan and I couldn't wait to get started on this trilogy. This is the second book in the series and I was not disappointed. This one was just as good as the first book in the series called Taking Eve. Full of suspense it made for on-the-edge-of-your-seat reading. I could not put it down. I follow all of Johansen's Eve Duncan books and have enjoyed them all. This was good reading – it moved along quickly with lots of action. I'm getting ready to read the last of the trilogy, Silencing Eve and I can't wait to delve into it. I'm really looking forward to finding out how it's going to end. If you like thrillers, you may want to check the Eve Duncan books out. I feel you won't be disappointed.
Initially set in the early 90s we are introduced to teenager Emily Vidal at the scene for her father's 50th birthday party. When she later stumbles across her father embracing their next door neighbor she's not sure how to react… especially since it has only just recently been revealed that her parents will be getting a divorce. In the midst of all this Emily witnesses one of her neighbors committing suicide and this (understandably) impacts her significantly.
The Adults follows Emily's path to "adulthood" while making it clear that there is never really a time when we truly become adults and completely leave childlike tendencies behind. The novel goes from Emily's first year in high school to a few years beyond college. Emily has struggled to find herself while also being supportive of her parents and pining for a relationship that began way too early in life.
I enjoyed this book, which also happened to be Espach's debut novel. I appreciated that the author received her MFA from Washington University here in St. Louis. It wasn't a dense book, but it wasn't something I found myself racing through. There were parts where I laughed out loud and there were parts I could definitely relate to. We're in the mind of a young woman as she grapples with the world around her and tries to find her place in it as an "adult." Something that isn't always that easy.
While I would recommend the book, I didn't realize it was going to be a series and so the book doesn't really end, it has a huge "To Be Continued." The other thing I didn't like about the book is what makes the book unique, the pictures. I felt that the author tried too hard to incorporate very random strange old pictures into the storyline. I didn't feel like they added to the novel at all and the pictures sometimes took you out of the story in an awkward way.

I didn't love this book. The writing was annoying at times and seemed much more juvenile than other young adult books that have become popular, most specifically The Hunger Games. It was hard not to compare these two novels because of their similar themes and the strong female heroine. Divergent fell short. Its story was not one that pulled you in like The Hunger Games did.

Deep Comedy is an exercise in philosophy, historical theory, and literary criticism – all guided by theological intuitions. Leithart makes the claim that with the advent of Christendom came a remarkably hopeful or comic understanding of the trajectory of human history. He sees this perspective on history as being deeply informed by and connected to Trinitarian theology. This connection is made through an admittedly nuanced and, at times, difficult to grasp argument about the nature of the Trinity and the view of history that Leithart believes flows from the doctrine. The significance of this kind of "deep comedy" is illustrated through contrasting the essentially tragic take on human history expressed by the ancient historian Hesiod and ancient dramatist like Homer and Virgil with the deeply comic vision of Shakespeare's plays. Leithart traces this ancient sense of tragedy through postmodern thinkers like Derrida and tries to show that Trinitarian orthodoxy offers an alternative and more hopeful account of history.
Leithart covers a lot of ground in this short book, but I think he manages the task remarkably well. It is interesting to note that though the book is scholarly in tone and format, he claims that it is actually "more an impressionistic essay than an academic treatise" (xv). This upfront acknowledgement helps to mitigate what might otherwise be overgeneralizations about the differences between Greek and Roman theories of history and literature on the one hand and European Christian views on the other. His case is effectively that the peculiar doctrine of the Trinity has had a deep and observable effect on the cultures that have assimilated its story and logic, and I think he argues it brilliantly.
One of my favorite aspects of Leithart's work is his consistent ability to draw imaginative and fruitful connections between disciplines, and that is precisely what he does in this book. His observations about the differences between the nature of Greek and European tragedies are far from unique or new. However, his explicit connection of these differences to Trinitarian logic is remarkably creative and contains serious explanatory power. I've read a lot from Leithart, but this may be my new favorite among his books. The literary analysis of Shakespeare's King Lear and Twelfth Night in the final chapter is particularly worthwhile, and it should be valuable to Shakespeare fans even if they do not buy the broader argument of the book.
Raised primarily in Ireland it was interesting to get an inside look at what life was like as the child of a famous director. We also get a look at how she initially resisted acting after working under her father and decided to enter the world of modeling. Hearing her list some of the photographers she was photographed by made me request a number of books to check out their work. She also introduces the reader to her love life which started early and revolved primarily around older men… The book ends with Huston in her early 20s in California about to enter the Hollywood life.
There's no question Anjelica Huston's life was an interesting one, I just don't think it came across well in the book. Perhaps when someone does a biography on her later it will be able to better capture her experiences. I didn't feel really invested in her life or attached at all to any of the people she mentioned. The audiobook was narrated by the author which I thought would be a great way to "read" the book but I don't think Huston did that justice, either. It really irked me when words were mispronounced (unless there are other ways of saying "turquoise" and "daquiri" that I'm not aware of).
If you're a big Huston fan you would still appreciate this book. I might still pick up the memoir coming out in the fall because that will better highlight the parts of her life that I think most people will remember and want to hear about.

Crayons have feelings, too, in this funny back-to-school story illustrated by the creator of Stuck and This Moose Belongs to Me — now a #1 New York Times bestseller!
What can Duncan possibly do to appease all of the crayons and get them back to doing what they do best? Kids will be imagining their own humorous conversations with crayons and coloring a blue streak after sharing laughs with Drew Daywalt and New York Times bestseller Oliver Jeffers.
One of our reference librarians, Julia, ordered this book for our collection here in the library. Wow! Did she make a good choice for our juvenile book collection. A co-worker of mine told me she had ordered it for her grandsons because she liked it so much. So I was curious to see what she liked so much about it. It took me about thirty minutes to read it. And every one of those thirty minutes was worth it! This book is LAUGH OUT LOUD funny! Duncan's crayons have complaints which they convey in a series of letters. What makes it so funny is that it's so true. I can imagine each color crayon really having these complaints. Red and blue ARE overworked, pink probably IS ignored by a boy, and beige is right, when was the last time you saw a kid excited about coloring wheat? The author, Drew Daywalt, hits this one WAY out of the park with some of the most clever, touching and hilarious text I've ever seen in a children's book. This is an awesome book!
It's about a boy named Duncan who has an unexpected discovery one day at school. His crayons have all written him letters of complaint! Grey crayon is tired of coloring in all those large animals–elephants hippos, whales; Black crayon is tired of only being used to outline other colors; Blue crayon is just plain tired; Green crayon is happy enough but he'd like to intervene on behalf of his friends, Orange and Yellow, who are currently not speaking to each other as each claims to be the true color of the sun; and Pink and Beige feel frankly ignored.

SIS Live Delivers Satellite Truck to British Army
By posted by Deborah D. McAdams 14 August 2014
MILTON KEYNES, ENGLAND—SIS Live said it has successfully delivered a bespoke satellite uplink truck to the British Army, to enable its media teams to deliver live HD pictures and other multimedia content from operational theaters around the world.
SIS Live operates the largest satellite uplink fleet in Europe and has used its systems integration and product design expertise to develop the truck for the Army's Media and Communications branch, which delivers footage from frontline operations to broadcasters and other media outlets.
The Army commissioned SIS Live to produce a satellite uplink newsgathering truck which could be flown to any part of the world and relied upon by its media teams to transmit footage via satellite, to broadcasters in the U.K. and beyond; providing a vital link between military operations on the ground, and understanding from the general public back home.
AMC specified a vehicle to be used in three distinct roles: As an edit van in all disciplines; as an SNG and as a mini OB van, with the ability to mix and play out live to air on a four-camera shoot.
The team modified a long wheel-base Mercedes Vito truck that was large enough to meet the requirements for equipment and operational space, yet was small and lightweight, making it suitable for transport by military aircraft. SIS worked closely with the RAF to ensure the vehicle complied with Defense Standards.
SIS Live installed a lightweight Ku-band 1.2m DriveForce antenna linked to SIS Live's own Uplink Management System, which incorporates its automated satellite
The vehicle is fully equipped for editing and multi-function HD play-out facilities, with a SIS Live provided iDirect multi-satellite network providing communications and Internet connection. The truck also is equipped with wireless camera equipment providing the camera teams with ultimate flexibility.
