SMITH & LEE: BEHIND THE TENNIS MVP
The 2018 IIAAG MVP's of tennis have a long history of playing the sport. Seniors Victoria Smith from Academy and Gavin Lee from Harvest were awarded the MVP for the first time in their career, but the road to their last season makes their MVP award feel like a long-time coming.

Girls MVP – Cougar Victoria Smith
Being the daughter of Guam Tennis Federation's Torgun Smith, a long time tennis player himself, you'd assume that a path towards tennis was written in the stars. But Tori has two older siblings who never picked up the sport making her journey a serendipitous one.
"My dad started to get back into tennis in 2006 when I was six years old and tennis wasn't as prominent in the family until then. I took a break in middle school, but I eventually came back to the tennis community because of how family oriented it is. You really get to develop personal connections with the community because you're really a team at heart," said Smith.
The introduction was thanks to dad, but the drive to get better was all on Tori. Dad Torgun wanted Tori to find her own love for tennis and never put the pressure of being good on her shoulders.
"He really just wanted me to enjoy the sport like he does. But when you're attending all these tennis camps and get to see kids playing at a higher level, you develop the want to get better yourself. It makes you want to get to their level and beat them eventually," said Smith on her drive.
Fast forward to 2018 where Smith was named MVP of the league ending her four-year career with the Cougars. Smith had been playing in the shadow of former teammate and MVP Tara Usita-Lee, but Tara decided to forgo her senior season as she is still recovering from a injury suffered last year in soccer.
"When [Tara] told me she wasn't coming out this year I decided to come out really hard this season and do my best at every game. I had previously given up my dream of ever being MVP because I felt [Tara] was just that much better than me," said Smith.

Smith was riding high until her run in with the Eagles where she dropped her match to Selah Chung. She was convinced the loss did enough damage to hurt her chances at the 2018 award.
"That really made me nervous throughout the season. All three of the top girls had the same standing at that point so I never really felt confident that the award was mine," said Smith.
Victoria's road to the IIAAG Singles Finals was as tough as ever where she faced a tough opponent in Laurel Hughes from Harvest in the second round where Smith won 8-5. She was then pitted against her sister Joycelyn Tenai in the semifinals where she came back from a 5-2 deficit to win 8-7 in what she admitted was the hardest match she's ever had, emotionally and physically for obvious reasons.
The wear on Smith weighed heavy in the finals against St. John's Anika Sachdev, whom she had beaten in the regular season. Sachdev played a clean game as she defeated Smith 8-3 in the finals.
Though Smith's high school tennis journey has ended, the door on collegiate tennis is still wide open.
"I want to try playing intramural in college, but my dad said I may be able to play Division II. Tennis is a lifelong sport so I'm just going to keep playing and having fun with it," said Smith.
Boys MVP – Eagle Gavin Lee
Lee's tennis journey started at five years old. He followed his father Alan Lee to a neighborhood tennis court to run some basic drills one evening and Gavin had never put down the racket since. Dad was a tennis player in high school and hoped that Gavin and his brother would be open to try out the sport. 13 years later, Lee helped lead the Eagles to an iconic season while capturing the MVP.
As far as winning the MVP, Lee wasn't expecting to win the award, let alone get nominated for it.
"Winning the MVP meant a lot to me, especially since I'm a senior and have been competing in the IIAAG since freshman year. I made it my goal to play the best of my ability this year and leave it all on the court. Although I didn't expect to be nominated MVP, I'm thankful for the title. It was a nice ending for my last year of playing tennis for Harvest," said Lee.
The Eagles posted an (8-0-1) record, tying the four time champion FD Friars for best regular season record. The IIAAG considers the team with the best record as League Team Champions and the Friars and Eagles had to get into a third tiebreaker to determine the champ.
With allowing less points, the Friars were champs for the fourth year in a row. Despite nearly bringing in a tennis title for the first time ever, Lee will never forget the 2018 season.
"When I saw the final decision, I quickly became discouraged, but I focused more on the fact that we pushed FD, the former champions, to a final IIAAG ruling. For a last season, it was definitely my best one," said Lee.
"This season was very special to me, considering it was my last one. This season was my favorite one that I've played in by far, and although we didn't bring the title home, I'm grateful for the experiences and lessons it taught me. The matchup against FD was the most exciting match that I've played these past four seasons; I had never felt more pressure to play well on the court than ever before, and the overall matchup taught me to be mentally strong and lead my team as a senior, no matter the situation."
With teammate Mason Caldwell, a former MVP, the Eagles were in prime position to shake up the IIAAG All-Island Singles Tournament. However, what no one expected was for Lee and Caldwell to team up to play in Doubles instead.
Harvest Eagles Mason Caldwell and Gavin Lee
"Mason and I initially planned to play singles this All-Island, but our other team members wanted to give it a shot at singles this All-Island tournament. Considering that Mason and I played singles all season, we didn't mind passing the singles role over to our doubles players, who've been training hard in practice for singles as well," said Lee.
Lee has been playing doubles for the All-Island Tournament since his freshman year so he considered jumping back into doubles one last time a nostalgic trip. Lee and Caldwell didn't get to hit the court for their finals match as they were handed the title after a missing Friar gave the Eagles duo a default win.
Lee will be attending college at Brown University and has no plans on playing college tennis.
"I will definitely try to play tennis with some other club/recreational players in college and maybe even compete in local leagues or tournaments over there. After college, I hope to continue competing at a high level and eventually help build up the local tennis scene on Guam, whether through coaching or some form of sponsoring," said Lee.
With tennis seemingly on the rise on Guam, Lee is excited to see how he can eventually further the sport.
"Guam has a small but thriving tennis community, and I'm curious to see where it heads in the next couple years. With the current progress with the Davis Cup Team and the new Guam National Tennis Center being built, I'd like to come back and help train young players to compete with the Eastern Asia and Oceania Region."

Evolving the curriculum to support remote work

24 August, Monday
When the pandemic forced Olin's campus to abruptly close, the Quantitative Engineering Analysis (QEA) course was one of many that transformed into a virtual class halfway through the semester. QEA is a pivotal course for dozens of first-year students that requires solving a series of robotics challenges while learning linear algebra, optimization, physics, multivariable calculus, and vector calculus. It's centered around completing three projects, including building a boat, learning facial recognition software, and programming a mobile robot to accomplish a task.
How the class could continue this remotely was a challenge that a team of Olin instructors–Paul Ruvolo, Mark Somerville, John Geddes, Linda Vanasupa, and Jeff Dusek—had the chance to address with many of the students before they left. "They came up with a big list of suggestions, like how to work in groups, which was a big component of what we'd been doing," says Ruvolo. This played out well in virtual class sessions as class resumed online. Five instructors were assigned to breakout rooms with small groups of students. A main virtual classroom became a place for students who were behind to get focused attention. Students worked on Zoom whiteboards so faculty could see when someone could use help.
High-level group discussion among Olin professors has addressed topics such as ways to use online learning platforms, but the details of how to best engage students are entrusted to professors, depending on the pedagogy of the specific course. "We have faculty who really care about teaching at Olin, and we have confidence that everyone will rise to the occasion and do something that works for the students," he says.
Ruvolo hasn't found it overly difficult to adhere to Olin's emphasis on project-based learning. "We're seeing that there are a lot of ways to make the positive aspects of project-based learning work like it would on campus, and students are still doing open-ended projects," he says. "It's about finding creative ways to maintain the benefits of project-based learning. We're not just doing lectures and problem sets online. Not at all. We're asking, What are opportunities to put the unique things that we do in this online setting and what's available to us?"
For example, QEA's robot module was redesigned to be done through simulation. "We learned that we could really minimize the use of physical things," he says. In working with students on the simulated robots, Ruvolo got excited about creating a similar situation with the boat project. Typically, students design a boat using a laser cutter and other materials, and now they'll use 3-D printers. "I'd already been exploring using 3-D printed boats as a way to do this module, and these materials can be ordered online and delivered to students' homes."
Pictured: One of the 3-D printed boats the students will be making.
Ruvolo sees that evolving the curriculum will continue to be half of the adjustment. The other half will be finding ways to address equity issues that could manifest in the online learning environment. Students may not have home environments that are conducive to focusing on work, and students live in different time zones, many in Asia. "An essential challenge is keeping track of everyone, and spending time reaching out to individuals and making sure everyone has support—and feels motivated," he says. "We know that this course thrives on a positive learning environment, and we'll be guarding this as closely as possible."

Cannes: Wild Bunch's Insiders, MadRiver Merge Sales Operations
4:12 AM PDT 5/17/2016 by Pamela McClintock

Kim Fox
Veteran foreign sales agent Kim Fox will run the new venture.
Vincent Maraval's Insiders and Marc Butan's MadRiver Pictures are merging their foreign sales operations to form a new company, IMR International. Veteran executive Kim Fox of MadRiver will run the venture.
MadRiver and Insiders, however, will continue to exist as separate independent production and financing companies. IMR will handle all titles for the two production ventures, as well as third-party titles. All told, Fox is expected to have a slate of 12 to 16 films per year.
CAA brokered the deal, which was unveiled by Maraval, Butan and Fox at the Cannes film market.
Separately, Fox will continue to run Megan Ellison's Annapurna international label.
MadRiver is a film finance, production and international sales company launched in early 2015. Butan's goal is to produce two to four director- and star-driven films a year. MadRiver's lineup includes Peter Landesman's Watergate drama Felt, starring Liam Neeson and Diane Lane, and James Gray's The Lost City of Z, starring Charlie Hunnam and Sienna Miller. MadRiver's 2016 Cannes sales slate includes Hallie Meyers-Shyer's Home Again, starring Rose Byrne, and James Gray's sci-fi epic Ad Astra.
Maraval, CEO of European powerhouse Wild Bunch, formed the Los Angeles-based Insiders a year ago with the aim of focusing on prestige projects. Insiders' sales slate includes 2016 Cannes Film Festival entry Loving, directed by Jeff Nichols; Pablo Larrain's Jackie, starring Natalie Portman; Lynne Ramsay's You Were Never Really Here, starring Joaquin Phoenix; and David Robert Mitchell's Under the Silver Lake, starring Andrew Garfield.
"Our tastes are fully compatible, and having the benefit of his expertise and relationships throughout Europe and the world will be invaluable for us," said Butan in a statement.
Added Maraval: "Our combined experience will give a unique combination for the films we defend."

On May 20th 2012 five of us witnessed what we feel was a UFO sighting. It was definitely not an airplane, helicopter, comet, meteor, asteroid, flares, fireworks, balloon, fighter jets or anything else that I've seen before. There were no engine noises – totally silent. I have no idea what it was, but I know what it wasn't. We saw two extremely bright red lights coming from the north of where we live. They moved in unison, as if attached to something larger, they headed southwards, turned to the west, and the disappeared – just like someone dimmed the lights and then turned them off.
A spectral Luftwaffe World War II jet over Gower, questions about Anglesey's nuclear plant, and terrified Flintshire motorists. These are just three of the cases uncovered in files released by the National Archives examining UFO sightings across Wales.


So you just had a stranger come to your home, hand you a stack of papers, and tell you that you were being served with a lawsuit. I am a litigation and lawsuit attorney in Mesa, Arizona and I can tell you what you need to do, now.
Don't ignore it—it will not go away by itself.
Hopefully you have gotten over the initial shock (or maybe it wasn't a surprise), and the sinking feeling in your stomach has subsided, but you still don't know what you are going to do about this new problem. After all, chances are you are not an attorney and have never set foot in a courtroom. Your plate is already full with your job, maybe a business to run, a family to raise, yard work, home repairs, etc., etc. You don't have the time or the expertise to deal with a lawsuit.
Unfortunately, you cannot just throw away the papers and pretend you never saw them. Even if the allegations against you are made up, you must do something to defend the lawsuit. If you do nothing, then it is only a matter of time before the person who filed the lawsuit (called the "Plaintiff") is going to automatically get a judgment against you (the "Defendant"). Once that happens, then your wages, bank accounts, and other assets are at risk of being garnished—taken by legal means to satisfy the judgment.
No, this problem will not disappear. In fact, you have only a limited number of days in which to respond to the lawsuit by filing something with the court. You need to call an attorney immediately. An experienced civil litigation attorney will be able to sit down with you, talk through the facts underlying the lawsuit, inform you of your rights and obligations in the lawsuit, and give you an idea of what kind of risk you are facing and how to best go about protecting yourself.
A good attorney not only knows the law but also communicates well with his or her clients, does not give false expectations (beware anyone who promises you a successful outcome), and will make your case a priority.
Even if you think you cannot afford an attorney, the truth is that you can't afford to go without one. An unrepresented party to a lawsuit is subject to the same rules and legal standards as those who hire attorneys. Not knowing the law or rules of court can get you into trouble and be a great disadvantage. Also, if your business is being sued, you need to understand that in many situations the business is required by law to be represented by an attorney . Finally, if you eventually do decide to defend yourself, you will still benefit by meeting with an attorney early on in order to better understand your case and what to expect in the court process.
I have the litigation experience to help you.
As a partner and lawsuit-litigation attorney at Rowley Chapman & Barney, I enjoy helping my clients to navigate through the uncertain world of litigation. For more than eight years, I have been successfully representing clients in matters ranging in value from a few thousand dollars up to several million dollars. If you have been served with a lawsuit (or if you are thinking of starting your own litigation) I would be glad to meet with you and answer your questions and then aggressively represent you through the court process. I look forward to getting to know you and helping to carry your burdens. Call me today at (480) 833-1113 to make an appointment to discuss your case.

Senate Looks to Revive Magnitsky Bill
Mar. 29 2012 00:00
WASHINGTON — Human rights legislation named after a lawyer who died in a Russian jail is likely to be considered by a U.S. Senate committee this spring, panel chairman Senator John Kerry said Tuesday. The Sergei Magnitsky Bill would require the United States to deny visas and freeze the assets of people with links to his detention and death, as well as to those who commit human rights violations against other whistle-blowers like him.
"I'd like to try to put it on a business meeting for when we return (from spring recess in mid-April), and we should aim to do it," Kerry said Tuesday at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee meeting after the panel's ranking Republican, Richard Lugar, urged the committee to finally take up and vote on the legislation.
The 2009 death of the 37-year-old Magnitsky, who worked for equity fund Hermitage Capital and died after a year in Russian jails, spooked investors and tarnished Russia's image.
The Kremlin human rights council says he was probably beaten to death. Before his arrest, he had testified against Interior Ministry officials during a tax evasion case against Hermitage. Senator Benjamin Cardin introduced the Magnitsky bill in May of last year. A companion bill by Representative James McGovern was introduced in the House of Representatives. But the Obama administration did not embrace the legislation, and no action has been taken in Congress.
U.S. envoy to Russia Michael McFaul recently noted that the United States had already imposed visa restrictions on some Russian officials believed to be involved in Magnitsky's death. This made the Magnitsky bill "redundant," McFaul said. Cardin, who is also a member of the committee, said he was trying to work out differences with the Obama administration on the bill.
Cardin said the best opportunity for passing it would be in conjunction with legislation on trade relations with Russia that is expected to come before Congress in the coming months. But trying to link the Magnitsky bill to the trade legislation could run into trouble from other Democrats.
Senator Max Baucus, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said Tuesday that he was inclined to oppose adding the Magnitsky bill to the trade legislation. Baucus' office said he has expressed a willingness to work with Cardin and find the best path forward for human rights legislation.
Over 40 U.S. Republican senators said in a letter to U.S. President Barack Obama that they would oppose any attempt to limit U.S. missile defense capabilities.
The letter came as a response to a remark by Obama, who was caught telling Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on an open microphone that he would have "more flexibility" after his "last election" on the issue of a planned U.S-led missile shield in Europe.

I was interviewed during the summer for an interesting documentary about Bebo and online social networks (or "social networking services") by the Multime Group from DCU. I prepared some answers for their questions, which I am sharing here.
What is your interpretation of an online social network (OSN)?
My interpretation is that it is a place where people can define their offline relationships to others – family, friends, schoolmates, etc. – online, and as well as defining existing real-world relationships, they can begin to form new ones or strengthen others with people they may have had less contact with previously.
Do you think users realise the public nature of OSNs?
No, most are unaware of how public OSNs are, especially through new social network search engines like Bigulo, Wink and other systems like Google (Ed.: And now Spock!), it's very easy to deliberately or accidentally happen across someone's profile, with all sorts of information there that they would not expect the public to be able to view.
Do you think users feel they are in control of their page? Do you think they actually are in control?
It depends on the OSN in use. Some offer very primitive control over what you can allow people to see – some just allow profiles to be public or private. Other OSNs offer more sophisticated access control, based on the number of degrees away that a contact is.
In research conducted you mentioned the need for "reputation management for the exchange of information in these networks". Do you think there is a pressure for users to present a certain image in order to feel part of the community?
Do you think that virtual reputation is becoming an obsession with OSN users, e.g., the hits counter on Bebo or "share the love"?
One of the most common ego boosters is the number of friends you have, and the number of comments or scraps that people are leaving on your profile. Luckily, most OSNs only allow positive increases in reputation – it's the systems where you can add negative points to someone (like eBay, bulletin board karma systems) that really cause problems! Yes, it's very important and as someone who often looks at others for potentially unconnected friends, I can understand the drive!
Do you think the interactions on OSNs like Bebo resemble real-life social encounters or is it just escapism?
Web interactions haven't quite reached the level of real world interaction just yet, but features like being able to respond to people's videos with video comments of your own (e.g., on YouTube) are going in this direction. Some theorise that some OSNs will eventually move towards 3-D worlds like Second Life, where networks of friends are interacting in much more realistic ways. 3-D gaming has had groups of people working towards common purposes for more than a decade, but they may never have met each other. But, I also believe that online networking can often lead to real-world group meetups, and if one strengthens the other, it should be a good thing.
Do you think people are bypassing the establishment of a trust model in favour of promoting themselves, e.g., Bebo's "hottest babes"?
It depends on what they are trying to achieve by this. I've haven't seen the Bebo section you mentioned, but if it's being used as a quicker way of getting people to your profile rather than serendipitously happening across your profile via a friend or search, then some people will happily go for it and I'm sure those people may often not realise how persistent information on the Web can be. If you're looking for a job in the future, well, maybe your OSN page has been edited, but services like the Web Archive or Google may well have a copy to show your future generations!
Do you think the image-centred nature of OSNs may lead to an unhealthy focus on the self and self-presentation?
It may be the wrong approach because you could probably attract better matches to your profile by expanding on your interests, events you liked, films you went to, or even by just blogging about yourself.
Do you think there is a ritualistic element to OSNs, e.g., entering daily thoughts on a community blog, checking on a daily basis, creating, what could be considered, a shrine in the form of their personal page?
For some, OSNs can border on addiction, as people have to login to check what has changed on their own pages and on those of their friends. Facebook have a nice system whereby you can see at a glance from your own friends list who has been updated, so they are making things easier (less clicking!). For those who are just trying to make themselves more popular, its not just important to contribute to your own page, but to drive people back to your own shrine, you must comment on other people's sites and thereby create more backlinks to yourself. I don't think people would continue to participate in some sort of ritualistic maintenance of their own sites without feedback from others, and luckily that means interacting with other people either online or offline.
Do you think OSNs like Bebo worship individualism? Is this community unique in this sense?
No, I think all social networks are now striving to allow people to express their individuality through widgets, skins and other "pieces of flair". From the individual's perspective, being able to customise your page like this means you can attract like-minded or random curious people to visit and keep on visiting your page, making you more popular in the process. From the service provider's perspective, its driving up the revenues from the display of advertising on the site.
Do you think the social norm of the Bebo community, that is to say, the safety in the community, allows or affords individuals the right to be more ego-centric than in other situations (because 'everyone is doing it')?
I think that may be true in some respects – and the drunked photo phenomenon is a good example of this – but also, it can depend a lot on the personality of the individual. People will often say things online that they would not say face to face, but the reverse is true and others will not get the same buzz from interacting through a web browser as they would in real life.
Do you think OSNs present or reflect the fragmented nature of the postmodern society we live in? And if so, how?
(Ed.: I am no expert on postmodernism, sorry!) They say that OSNs are causing more young people to watch less television, so from that point of view they are no doubt causing people to become disconnected physically from families in the evenings while they are logged on. In the opposite direction, more conversations are being formed offline about what such and such put on their page last night – but I suspect that the extra time spent online outweighs that being spent offline as a result.
In your opinion, what are the best and worst parts of OSNs?
The best part is the fact that a community of like-minded people can group together and talk about things and interests that they would never have been able to do via phone conversations or e-mail. It's a lot easier to get involved, and having these social networks centred around objects of common interest means that you can get the answers and chats you want about things you are actually interested in rather than switching on the TV and waiting for something interesting to come on. They are also great for networks of geographically-disconnected friends, who may have been in school but are now all around the world. They are very useful for getting in touch with someone who's advice or skills you need, through the friend of a friend or friend of a friend of a friend. The worst part is probably the inadvertent uses that OSNs have been put to that they were never intended for: bullying, stalking and other types of abuse.
What do you think is the future for OSNs?
There are a number of things that are needed and that are already beginning to appear. The first is a way to manage your identities across all these social networks. Services like PeopleAggregator, 30boxes and Klostu are the first step towards collecting your identities, and then using systems like OpenID you can have a single sign-on to any of the networks that you are a member of. The second interesting idea is that of object-centered sociality, which says that people will only connect to others who have a shared object of interest – it may be content they create or tag together, it may be a place where they discuss their job or hobbies, or it may be some geographical or interest-related community they are members of.

Green lights for construction solar park Vlagtwedde
Today the district court of Groningen has ruled that Powerfield may start with the construction of solar park Vlagtwedde. One objection was lodged against the construction, but the judge concluded that the objector is not a stakeholder. Powerfield had already been promised the SDE subsidy for this solar park from the RVO and Powerfield had already purchased the 126 hectares of land in mid-January. Symen Jellema, director of Powerfield: 'We are pleased that the construction of this park can kick off this year. The Netherlands has an enormous task in finding and using more sustainable energy sources. Gas and fossil fuels are really a thing of the past, and fortunately, more and more people are becoming aware of this. Every step in that direction is essential.'
With the court ruling and the positive SDE decision, Powerfield can start building the solar park this spring. The first activities consist of planting the blueberry bushes on the site that will be part of the landscape integration. Once fully grown, this will create 20 FTE jobs for picking the berries and maintaining the berry bushes. Powerfield is currently in the final stages of financing the project. The solar park is expected to be operational by the end of 2019 and will annually produce as much electricity as the consumption of almost 30,000 average Dutch households.
Energy transition in the Netherlands
Powerfield realizes large-scale solar parks in the Netherlands and as such wants to contribute to the climate and energy goals. Currently, less than 6% of the electricity we use is sustainably generated. After Luxembourg, the Netherlands has the lowest percentage of sustainably generated energy of the 28 EU countries. The solar park in Vlagtwedde, which is also currently the largest in Western Europe, represents an important step in the energy transition.
In addition to achieving the climate and energy goals, Powerfield also strives to create and retain jobs in the region. One of these initiatives is the assembly of solar panels in our own solar panel factory. This solar panel factory will be located in the province of Groningen and with a 150 FTE will be an important input for employment in the region. In addition, Powerfield, together with the Noorderpoort college, is exploring the possibility of creating a separate training course for solar engineers, so that the construction and maintenance of solar parks can be done by local parties.

Q: Command line showing "Wireless" as a heading Opened up terminal, and I can see the last time I logged in, a bash error saying a certain file does not exist, and then "Wireless" followed by some numbers in front of every command I enter.
Upon entering exit, I get stuck in a [Process Completed] message, and cannot do anything else.

A: wireless-* is your host-name. Most likely it was assigned automatically by the wifi-router you were connected to last time you started your computer.
[Process completed] is the default behaviour for the macOS Terminal.app. It does not close the window when the shell exists, but shows this message. You can change this by opening Terminal's Preferences, then selecting the Profile you're using, and then switching to the "Shell" tab: There is the option "When the shell exists:" where you can select "Close the Window".

Despite being the world's biggest flop of a festival, its legacy lives on.
From promises of the biggest entertainers to the luxury accommodation and delicious food, the festival - which was set on a 'private' island in the Bahamas - was simply too good to be true. It was the biggest party that never happened.
But it appears the party is going to happen... in Melbourne!
With acts like Non-Disclosure, Minor Lazer and Blink 183, Melburnians will have the chance to dance the night away while chowing down on some 'gourmet' cheese sandwiches and sipping on customs-approved Fyreball.
Is your Fyre Festival heart still not fulfilled? At midnight, there will be a toast to the one and only Andy King. While he isn't able to attend the party, there will be life-sized cut-outs of the legend around the venue.
Hosted by the Mill House, all funds will help support the local community affected by the infamous event including Maryann Rolle who spent $50,000 of her own life savings to feed and pay the festival staff.
So whip out your Magnises cards, load up those wristbands and prepare to celebrate life like the millionaires do at this festival-inspired, tropical blowout!
Keep hydrated with unlimited Evian water and get yourself down to The Mill on Saturday, March 2nd.


The world is constantly becoming more global, and new markets like China and India are making their ways into the world economy. With the technological evolution the last two decades, where Internet in many ways has changed how everything is done, the world is now more interconnected than ever. But this also means that there is a huge need for people with an understanding of various cultures. Studying abroad will definitely give you an edge in your professional career. And equally as important: it is a lot of fun! You are not likely to regret studying abroad.
If you are considering studying to Master's in science degree abroad, the next question is where to go. Now you don't only have your local, or national options to choose from, you can choose from alternatives all over the world. Make sure to look for a university that is highly regarded in the field you are planning to study. Also contemplate what places in the world would be most exiting and the best learning experience for you as a person. You might want to combine your science studies with learning a specific language. So take your time to think about what you want out of your experience.
What knowledge will be useful in the future?
The answer to the question above is not a simple one. Over the last decades the technology has evolved so fast it would have been impossible to predict what the future would bring. But there is no question that the future involves understanding of different cultures and languages. Even if we see tendencies of deglobalization in the United Kingdoms exit out of the EU, and the election of Donald Trump as the president of the United States, there is no way that the need for this kind of knowledge will decrease, but instead will be more important than ever.


Install boost (again, Homebrew), being careful to compile against libc++ using brew install boost --with-c++11 . Hey, I like the C++11 features.
Set up the search paths and library paths in Xcode. My project is a dynamic library written in C++.
The reason for the multiple symbolic links is because I had multiple BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(SubpackageX) within my library in the hopes of being able to organize the resulting python library a little better. The Xcode project ends up with one .dylib file, but it turns out that it still contains all the information needed for the various sub-packages, so all I had to do was to create various symbolic links to simulate a python package structure. I'm not sure if this is the proper or the optimal way of doing this though… but it works for me for the time being.
You can more or less follow the instructions on boost website. I chose to compile with clang and libc++ because, well, let's face it, c++11 is kinda cool.
buddy$ cd boost_1_54_0 buddy$ ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=clang --prefix=/path/to/your/build/directory buddy$ ./b2 install toolset=clang variant=debug debug-symbols=on cxxflags="-std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++" linkflags="-stdlib=libc++"
buddy$ ./b2 install toolset=clang variant=debug debug-symbols=on cxxflags="-std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++" linkflags="-stdlib=libc++"
Let's assume that you have already set up an Xcode project.
Add the dynamic (or static) lib file to the Xcode project.
Here, I've added the boost serialization library.
Make sure that you are actually linking to the boost library that you just added.
Note, this step may have happened automatically when you added the .dylib file to the project.
Add a new copy files build phase, and make sure that the boost .dylib files are copied to the appropriate locations.

Jordan Peele's 'Us' Will Also Be Part Of Universal's Halloween Horror Nights 2019
By The Movie God | @ | August 7th, 2019 at 8:00 pm
On the heels of the announcement that the anthology classic Creepshow, as well as the new series based on it coming soon to Shudder, will be at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights 2019, it's been revealed that Jordan Peele's recent hit Us will also have mazes at the attraction this year.

Director: Jordan Peele
Writer: Jordan Peele
Cast: Lupita Nyong'o, Winston Duke, Shahadi Wright Joseph, Evan Alex, Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker
Distributor: Universal Pictures
Rated R | Minutes: 116
Jordan Peele redefines the genre in bold new ways by weaving in truth and honesty with horror. But horror has acted as a reflection on the society we live in now by terrifying us with the sort of imagery that very few would like to admit is true. With Us we get to see the monsters within us, or at least, the monsters that are capable of living within us.
And now, with the release of the Blu-ray, we get to see how Peele crafted this movie with precision and great detail. Check out our review, plus a look at some of the bonus features that take a deeper look at the production of the film, below.

'Us' Blu-ray Arrives To Haunt Your Lovely Home This June
By eelyajekiM | @ | May 1st, 2019 at 1:00 pm
One of my favorite horror films to come out this year will finally be available for you to own this summer. Jordan Peele's Get Out follow-up Us was a huge box office success grossing over $170 million since it first opened back in March.
Now, Universal is ready to give us a reason to be afraid to go into a House of Mirrors or at least question everything we know about ourselves when they release the film on digital, 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD. Check out the full list of special features below.

Cast: Lupita Nyong'o, Winston Duke, Shahadi Wright Joseph, Evan Alex, Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker
The phrase "we are our own worst enemy" is a theme that plays a huge part in Jordan Peele's Us. The filmmaker's sophomore effort walks that fine line between horror and social satire. It examines the human condition and uses scares as a vehicle to take a look at the monsters that lurk beneath our skin and what would happen if it were ever to crawl out of it. The end result is another genre-bending film with something to say. While allegories and metaphors have been a part of the fabric of horror films, Peele knows how to deliver that message with terrifying precision. Check out my full review of Us here below.

'Us' Super Bowl Spot: Jordan Peele's Latest Terror Has Terrifying Coincidences
By eelyajekiM | @ | February 3rd, 2019 at 6:06 pm
There's no doubt that Jordan Peele's Us, his follow up to Get Out, is one of the most highly anticipated films of the year. And judging by the reactions and eagerness to see it as soon as possible, the Us makes its debut at SXSW later this year, we can expect to see the same visceral terror with a tinge of Twilight Zone. Even the film itself was inspired by that show. Now with the film's theatrical release just a little over a month away from release, we are getting a new look at it with a brand new TV spot.
Initially set up to be unveiled during the Super Bowl, Peele posted the spot on a SubReddit, much to the delight of everyone. Check it out here below.

Abstract: Cross-sectional studies report notable discrepancies between patient and caregiver ratings of the quality of life of patients (QoL-p) with Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study aimed to identify the factors associated with any changes in QoL-p ratings and any discrepancies between patient and caregiver ratings of QoL-p. Three-year follow-up of a cohort of non-institutionalized patients (n = 119). QoL-p was assessed by the Quality of Life in AD (QoL-AD) scale. We analyzed the influence of functional and cognitive status and behavioral problems in patients, and burden and mental health in caregivers. Repeated measures analysis was applied to the scores of patients and caregivers on the QoL-AD, and to the discrepancies between them. Generally, patients' own ratings remained stable over time (F3,116 = 0.9, p = 0.439), whereas caregiver ratings showed a decline (F3,116 = 9.4, p < 0.001). In the analysis of discrepancies, patients with anosognosia gave higher ratings (F1,117 = 11.9, p = 0.001), whereas caregiver ratings were lower when the patient showed greater agitation (F1,117 = 13.0, p < 0.001), apathy (F1,117 = 15.4, p < 0.001), and disabilities (F1,117 = 17.1, p < 0.001), and when the caregiver experienced greater burden (F1,117 = 9.0, p = 0.003) and worse mental health (F1,117 = 10.1, p = 0.003). Patient ratings of QoL-p remain generally stable over time, whereas those of caregivers show a decline, there being significant discrepancies in relation to specific patient and caregiver factors.

I refer to a number of books when I am writing some of my articles. Some of these are identification guides, some are conservation books, and others a combination of both.
Here's a selection of books I recommend - I have managed to write fuller reviews for some of these books, and my intention is to update this page further with more reviews.
If you are a publisher or author, and would like me to review a book, please contact me via my Contact Page. Please note that I whilst I will not write negative reviews, I will not include or promote a book I do not like on my website. Thank you.
This is a really excellent book, detailing the 275 species of Britain and Ireland. It's especially impressive to have a guide (at last!) which so comprehensively covers the solitary species. You can read my review here.
Field Guide to the Bees of Great Britain and Ireland is availabel from Amazon.
A superb, and highly readable book, suitable for a wide range of audiences, and one of my favourite 'bee books'. This book not only helps with identification of species, it answers common questions and many ad hoc, fascinating facts and insights. A full review can be found on this page.
Bumblebees Behaviour And Ecology - by Dave Goulson is an excellent conservation book, which also provides detailed information about the bumblebee life cycle, foraging behaviour etc. Please note, this is not a book providing an identification guide, and is not UK species specific - for example, it refers to scientific studies both from the UK and overseas, yet is easy to read.
Professor Goulson is a well-known 'Bee author' and academic.
A further review can be found here.
Bumblebees: Behaviour, Ecology, and Conservation is available from Amazon.
An I.D. guide to North American bumblebees - see my review here.
A handy guide complete with key, from Princeton University Press.
Get Bumble Bees of North America: An Identification Guide (Princeton Field Guides) from Amazon.

The title speaks for itself - a publication from the excelllent Xerces Society.
You can buy Attracting Native Pollinators: The Xerces Society Guide, Protecting North America's Bees and Butterflies from Amazon.
Field Guide to the Bumblebees of Great Britain & Ireland - by Mike Edwards & Martin Jenner, is a very handy bumblebee identification guide, for species specific to Great Britain and Ireland. Some useful general information about bumblebees, is included, with great information to help you identify the different species. Ideal for packing into a small rucksack and taking with you on a walk.
Written by Will Allen. Will has had an interesting past, serving in the Marine Corp as a chemical warfare paramedic, then gaining a Phd in Anthropology, teaching, and later co-managing an organic farm.
You can read a Q&A with the author here.
Buy Meadowland: the private life of an English field by John Lewis-Stempel from Amazon.
With beautiful illustrations, fear can turn to fascination!
It really amazes me that more noise is not made about the value of wasps in gardens!! Yes, I know, there are times when having wasps around is not convenient, but there are things we can do about that - see this page).
This is actually a book not just about wasps, but about why some creatures sting generally. It even looks at the differing severity of stings!
I do think that this kind of understanding brings a sort of respect, and counters a lot the "it's out to get me personally, I have to kill it" attitude.
If you are interested in bee books, you may also be interested in my links about bee pollination, as well as my lists of bee plants.

HARRISBURG, Pa. - Republican congressman Tim Murphy of Pennsylvania announced Wednesday that he would not run for a ninth term, amid tawdry revelations of an extramarital affair in which the anti-abortion lawmaker urged his mistress to get an abortion when he thought she was pregnant.
Murphy's decision came a day after the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette published text messages between Murphy and Shannon Edwards.
A Jan. 25 text message from Edwards told the congressman he had "zero issue posting your pro-life stance all over the place when you had no issue asking me to abort our unborn child just last week when we thought that was one of the options," according to the newspaper.
A text message from Murphy's number in response to Edwards said his staff was responsible for his anti-abortion messages.
Edwards, it turned out, wasn't pregnant. Murphy recently acknowledged his affair with Edwards, which became public as a result of her divorce proceedings.

If Your Handwriting Looks Like This, You Could Have Early-Onset Alzheimer's
Brain cells damaged by dementia can result in this easy-to-miss early symptom.
By Luisa Colón
tomertu/Shutterstock
While there's currently no cure for Alzheimer's disease—the most common cause of dementia—being aware of the condition's early warning signs is key to helping slow its progress. Early detection gives people access to new treatments for dementia, as well as the opportunity to make lifestyle changes that can help preserve cognitive function—just two of the many medical and emotional benefits of early diagnosis, according to the Alzheimer's Association.
Memory loss and confusion are commonly known signs of dementia, but other symptoms may go unrecognized.Trouble managing money, changes in mood, and a lapse in hygiene habits can all signal the onset of cognitive decline—and your handwriting can offer a clue, as well. Read on to find out what to look for next time you put pen to paper—and when to see your doctor about it.
READ THIS NEXT: If You Do This While Walking, It May Be an Early Dementia Sign, New Study Says.
Brain cells affected by dementia can cause changes in handwriting.
JLco – Julia Amaral/iStock
"Dementia is a category of brain diseases, so the causes of the apparent symptoms are hidden in the brain," says Eric Rodriguez, co-founder and CEO of Innerbody Research. Rodriguez explains that Alzheimer's disease can stop new brain cells from forming. "The neurons in the affected person's brain start to lose their structure and function and may even die," he says. "The result of this is a shrinking of the brain, called atrophy."
Brain atrophy can cause a host of changes in the everyday functioning of those it affects, and one of the ways it can manifest is in their handwriting.
"Nerve cells generate an electrical pulse and send a message that manages the muscles, so as to allow movements of the body parts for various day to day tasks, including handwriting," according to an article in the International Journal of Engineering Development and Research (IJEDR). Neurons that have died or been damaged due to dementia are no longer able to control these muscles. The result can be shaky or indecipherable handwriting.
Confusion and forgetfulness can also affect handwriting.

"Writing is not an ordinary skill," notes Rodriguez. "People spend years developing a specific style of writing consolidating a sound motor-control system of the brain. A marked deterioration of this carefully honed skill indicates something is wrong with the brain."
Dementia can affect handwriting for other reasons, as well. Diana Kerwin, MD, told Everyday Health that shaky or increasingly indecipherable handwriting can be caused by apraxia. "The person literally forgets how to perform the motor tasks needed to write," she explains. "Even though the motor system is intact, the instructions from the brain to the hand are impaired and it can affect handwriting."
"Damage to cognitive functions makes your handwriting gradually indecipherable," says Rodriguez. "Eventually, they look more like scrawls and scribbles than writing that could be once identified as yours."

Difficulty communicating is a hallmark of dementia.

Rodriguez details some of the other signs of dementia. "If a person repeats themselves while having a simple conversation, [telling] you the same story again and again without being aware that they just told you the story," he says, or if they "have trouble remembering the answers you gave them to a question they have asked several times," this could signal the onset of cognitive decline.ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb
Another potential symptom? "[People] might have difficulty expressing the word when speaking, and often leave words out or substitute the wrong word, yet these are words they would previously use daily and would not have had difficulty with," says Rodriguez. "An example would be if they asked you to pass them the TV remote. Instead of asking for the TV remote—words they would normally use—they say 'pass me the flicker for the thingy.'"
The inability to clearly communicate contributes to mood swings and depression, which are also commonly seen in people with Alzheimer's disease.
Early diagnosis helps people with dementia—and their caregivers.
Fly View Productions/iStock
Increasingly shaky handwriting, mood swings, and personality changes are all potential signs of cognitive decline—and it's important to discuss these symptoms with a doctor. "Early detection of dementia disorders reduces the risk of you, the caregiver, developing anxiety and depression," says Rodriguez. "Research shows that dementia caregivers experience the highest rates of anxiety and depression. Early diagnosis helps to reduce that risk."
Preventative care can help reduce your risk of dementia and other illnesses. While exercise and diet can both be helpful for heading off dementia, other ways you can potentially lower your risk of Alzheimer's disease are less expected. Good oral hygiene, for example, has been shown to reduce the likelihood of dementia. Brain-stimulating games are another approach, such as video games, crosswords, quizzes, card games, and chess. Familiarizing yourself with these various activities and lifestyle choices, and putting them into practice, can lower your risk of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.

Nets Brooklyn Boro
Circle the Date: Jason Kidd's returns to Brooklyn Nov. 19
Ex-Nets Coach's Return to Barclays Highlights Early Season Slate
August 14, 2014 By John Torenli, Sports Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle
Jason-Kidd-Returns-To-Brooklyn-November-19
The Nets issued a press release regarding the official announcement of their schedule for the 2014-15 season on Wednesday evening.
The missive mentioned their Oct. 29 season opener in Boston, the home opener Nov. 3 against reigning MVP Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder and an early four-game homestand featuring a visit by Brooklyn-born Carmelo Anthony and the East River rival New York Knicks.
The Nets also announced that they would play eight consecutive road contests – their annual "Circus Trip" — during a grueling February stretch before finishing the campaign with eight of their final 11 contests at home.
There were even a smattering of "notable" games revealed in the release, a Dec. 3 home date against the defending NBA champion San Antonio Spurs and two visits by LeBron James and his new Cleveland Cavaliers teammates on Dec. 8 and March 27.
While Barclays Center figures to be packed to the rafters for any one of the aforementioned games, the one date Nets fans were most eager to see revealed Wednesday evening wasn't mentioned once in the release.
I'll reveal it to you here now: Nov. 19, 7:30 p.m.
Circle it.
Bold it.
Highlight it.
Do whatever you have to do to remember it.
That's the date Jason Kidd and the Milwaukee Bucks will visit the corner of Atlantic and Flatbush avenues for the first of four meetings between the Eastern Conference rivals.
That's the date Kidd will face the Barclays Center crowd for the first time since his ill-fated power play landed him in Milwaukee only months after he guided the Nets to the Eastern Conference semifinals following a tumultuous but ultimately successful first year at the helm of the Brooklyn franchise.
That's the date Nets fans will have to decide whether to deride Kidd mercilessly for the well-chronicled back-door screen he set against Brooklyn general manager Billy King, or welcome him back as arguably the greatest player ever to suit up for the franchise.
Nov. 19 is the date of reckoning for Nets fans and Jason Kidd.
No other game on the Nets' regular season schedule will carry the amount of juice already loaded into that pre-Thanksgiving week contest.
Not King James and the Cavs, not K.D. and the OK City Gang, not 'Melo and the Knicks, not Tim Duncan and the champs and certainly not any other of the Nets' first five home dates before Kidd and the Bucks arrive.
King took the high road earlier this summer when Kidd's bid to usurp his organizational power fell on the deaf ears of billionaire owner Mikhail Prokhorov.
Kidd wanted to be a step above the man who hired him only a year earlier in the team's front-office hierarchy.
He was also irritated by a pair of five-year, $25 million contracts handed out to first-time head coaches Steve Kerr and Derek Fisher by the Golden State Warriors and Knicks, respectively.
Kidd, a two-time Coach of the Month in his initial season, was receiving $10 million over four years from the Nets.
He wanted more money and more power and was willing to climb over King to get it, even though Brooklyn's top basketball executive had taken a big chance on handing the most expensive roster in NBA history over to a first-year coach fresh off a 19-year playing career.
King took the "It's only business, not personal" approach in the aftermath of Kidd's departure and subsequent signing to a more lucrative deal in Milwaukee.
Brooklyn fans, however, may not be as generous.
Though his No. 5 jersey hangs from the Barclays Center ceiling as a reminder of the two NBA Finals he led the Nets to in 2002 and 2003, Kidd isn't likely to receive a hearty welcome from the 17,000-plus who will pack the arena on that mid-November night.
He arrived here promising to elevate this franchise to its first-ever NBA title, something he fell just shy of delivering on the hardwood when the team was situated in New Jersey.
He thanked Prokhorov and King for believing in him and insisted that the Nets would not take a back seat to the crosstown rival Knicks or any other franchise when it came to pursuing that elusive NBA title.
He overcame a job-threatening 10-21 start by turning the Nets into a "small-ball" driven unit that went 34-19 following the turn of the New Year despite the absence of injured All-Star center Brook Lopez.
He helped Brooklyn overcome Toronto in the opening round of the playoffs, thanks to a tweak of the starting lineup in a pair of win-or-go-home games.
He had the Nets competing with the eventual Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat in the second round, only to fall short in a trio of winnable games that sent Brooklyn home early for the summer.
He did all this, and then forced his way out of Brooklyn in a move that still has Nets fans shaking their heads.
Now it will be their turn to take the business of his rather rude departure quite personally.
Nov. 19., that's the date.
Mark it down Brooklyn.
Here's the Nets' entire 82-game regular-season schedule

New York City's most populous borough, Brooklyn, is home to nearly 2.6 million residents. If Brooklyn were an independent city it would be the fourth largest city in the United States. While Brooklyn has become the epitome of 'cool and hip' in recent years, for those that were born here, raised families here and improved communities over the years, Brooklyn has never been 'uncool'.

Living Bible
9 Kish was a rich, influential man from the tribe of Benjamin. He was the son of Abiel, grandson of Zeror, great-grandson of Becorath, and great-great-grandson of Aphiah. 2 His son Saul was the most handsome man in Israel. And he was head and shoulders taller than anyone else in the land!
3 One day Kish's donkeys strayed away, so he sent Saul and a servant to look for them. 4 They traveled all through the hill country of Ephraim, the land of Shalisha, the Shaalim area, and the entire land of Benjamin, but couldn't find them anywhere. 5 Finally, after searching in the land of Zuph, Saul said to the servant, "Let's go home; by now my father will be more worried about us than about the donkeys!"
6 But the servant said, "I've just thought of something! There is a prophet who lives here in this city; he is held in high honor by all the people because everything he says comes true; let's go and find him, and perhaps he can tell us where the donkeys are."
7 "But we don't have anything to pay him with," Saul replied. "Even our food is gone, and we don't have a thing to give him."
8 "Well," the servant said, "I have a dollar! We can at least offer it to him and see what happens!"
9-11 "All right," Saul agreed, "let's try it!"
So they started into the city where the prophet lived. As they were climbing a hill toward the city, they saw some young girls going out to draw water and asked them if they knew whether the seer was in town. (In those days prophets were called seers. "Let's go and ask the seer," people would say, rather than, "Let's go and ask the prophet," as we would say now.)
12-13 "Yes," they replied, "stay right on this road. He lives just inside the city gates. He has just arrived back from a trip to take part in a public sacrifice up on the hill. So hurry, because he'll probably be leaving about the time you get there; the guests can't eat until he arrives and blesses the food."
14 So they went into the city, and as they were entering the gates they saw Samuel coming out toward them to go up the hill. 15 The Lord had told Samuel the previous day, 16 "About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin. You are to anoint him as the leader of my people. He will save them from the Philistines, for I have looked down on them in mercy and have heard their cry."
17 When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said, "That's the man I told you about! He will rule my people."
18 Just then Saul approached Samuel and asked, "Can you please tell me where the seer's house is?"
19 "I am the seer!" Samuel replied. "Go on up the hill ahead of me and we'll eat together; in the morning I will tell you what you want to know and send you on your way. 20 And don't worry about those donkeys that were lost three days ago, for they have been found. And anyway, you own all the wealth of Israel now!"
21 "Pardon me, sir," Saul replied. "I'm from the tribe of Benjamin, the smallest in Israel, and my family is the least important of all the families of the tribe! You must have the wrong man!"
22 Then Samuel took Saul and his servant into the great hall and placed them at the head of the table, honoring them above the thirty special guests. 23 Samuel then instructed the chef to bring Saul the choicest cut of meat, the piece that had been set aside for the guest of honor. 24 So the chef brought it in and placed it before Saul.
"Go ahead and eat it," Samuel said, "for I was saving it for you, even before I invited these others!"
So Saul ate with Samuel. 25 After the feast, when they had returned to the city, Samuel took Saul up to the porch on the roof and talked with him there. 26-27 At daybreak the next morning, Samuel called up to him, "Get up; it's time you were on your way!"
So Saul got up, and Samuel accompanied him to the edge of the city. When they reached the city walls, Samuel told Saul to send the servant on ahead. Then he told him, "I have received a special message for you from the Lord."

Samuel Anoints Saul
9 There was a Benjamite,(A) a man of standing,(B) whose name was Kish(C) son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bekorath, the son of Aphiah of Benjamin. 2 Kish had a son named Saul, as handsome(D) a young man as could be found(E) anywhere in Israel, and he was a head taller(F) than anyone else.
3 Now the donkeys(G) belonging to Saul's father Kish were lost, and Kish said to his son Saul, "Take one of the servants with you and go and look for the donkeys." 4 So he passed through the hill(H) country of Ephraim and through the area around Shalisha,(I) but they did not find them. They went on into the district of Shaalim, but the donkeys(J) were not there. Then he passed through the territory of Benjamin, but they did not find them.
5 When they reached the district of Zuph,(K) Saul said to the servant who was with him, "Come, let's go back, or my father will stop thinking about the donkeys and start worrying(L) about us."
6 But the servant replied, "Look, in this town there is a man of God;(M) he is highly respected, and everything(N) he says comes true. Let's go there now. Perhaps he will tell us what way to take."
7 Saul said to his servant, "If we go, what can we give the man? The food in our sacks is gone. We have no gift(O) to take to the man of God. What do we have?"
8 The servant answered him again. "Look," he said, "I have a quarter of a shekel[a] of silver. I will give it to the man of God so that he will tell us what way to take." 9 (Formerly in Israel, if someone went to inquire(P) of God, they would say, "Come, let us go to the seer," because the prophet of today used to be called a seer.)(Q)
10 "Good," Saul said to his servant. "Come, let's go." So they set out for the town where the man of God was.
11 As they were going up the hill to the town, they met some young women coming out to draw(R) water, and they asked them, "Is the seer here?"
12 "He is," they answered. "He's ahead of you. Hurry now; he has just come to our town today, for the people have a sacrifice(S) at the high place.(T) 13 As soon as you enter the town, you will find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. The people will not begin eating until he comes, because he must bless(U) the sacrifice; afterward, those who are invited will eat. Go up now; you should find him about this time."
14 They went up to the town, and as they were entering it, there was Samuel, coming toward them on his way up to the high place.
15 Now the day before Saul came, the Lord had revealed this to Samuel: 16 "About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin. Anoint(V) him ruler(W) over my people Israel; he will deliver(X) them from the hand of the Philistines.(Y) I have looked on my people, for their cry(Z) has reached me."
17 When Samuel caught sight of Saul, the Lord said to him, "This(AA) is the man I spoke to you about; he will govern my people."
18 Saul approached Samuel in the gateway and asked, "Would you please tell me where the seer's house is?"
19 "I am the seer," Samuel replied. "Go up ahead of me to the high place, for today you are to eat with me, and in the morning I will send you on your way and will tell you all that is in your heart. 20 As for the donkeys(AB) you lost three days ago, do not worry about them; they have been found. And to whom is all the desire(AC) of Israel turned, if not to you and your whole family line?"
21 Saul answered, "But am I not a Benjamite, from the smallest tribe(AD) of Israel, and is not my clan the least(AE) of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin?(AF) Why do you say such a thing to me?"
22 Then Samuel brought Saul and his servant into the hall and seated them at the head of those who were invited—about thirty in number. 23 Samuel said to the cook, "Bring the piece of meat I gave you, the one I told you to lay aside."
24 So the cook took up the thigh(AG) with what was on it and set it in front of Saul. Samuel said, "Here is what has been kept for you. Eat, because it was set aside for you for this occasion from the time I said, 'I have invited guests.'" And Saul dined with Samuel that day.
25 After they came down from the high place to the town, Samuel talked with Saul on the roof(AH) of his house. 26 They rose about daybreak, and Samuel called to Saul on the roof, "Get ready, and I will send you on your way." When Saul got ready, he and Samuel went outside together. 27 As they were going down to the edge of the town, Samuel said to Saul, "Tell the servant to go on ahead of us"—and the servant did so—"but you stay here for a while, so that I may give you a message from God."

NOSTALGIA: A look back at Blackburn College
By Neil Athey @NeilAtheyJourno News Reporter
Many of us would have studied, or known someone who studied at Blackburn College over the years.
It started out as Blackburn Technical College back in 1888,
The Fielden Street centre specialised in engineering and textile courses, and introduced a-levels in 1984.
It had famous tutors including Sir Robert Howson Pickford, who was head of chemistry and principal from 1900 to 1920.
He went onto become the vice-chancellor of the University of London from 1937 to 1939.
The college has been a focal point to the community, as well as its students.
As we can see in the photos, a political fair for young people was held in the college, as well as visits from international friends, such as students from Qatar.
The Four Lane Ends Adult Learning Centre staff moved to the college in 1995.
It was one of five colleges in the north west to be awarded beacon status by the Quality Improvement Agency in September 2008.
The college now provides a range of qualifications, including a-levels, apprenticeships and diplomas through its university centre.
In September 2014, the college's new Regional Automotive Hub was officially opened in August 2014 by Carl Fogarty.
