UK sending 21 athletes to Tokyo Olympics
The Big Blue Nation will be well represented when the Tokyo Olympics begin July 21, with 21 athletes either played at UK or have university ties.
Track and field dominates the list of qualifiers with University of Kentucky ties, with 1nine total athletes competing, including two world-record holders. But Kentucky has athletes representing men's and women's swimming, men's and women's basketball, rifle, softball and fencing from across the globe.
Here is a rundown of who to watch as the games begin:
Coming off her world record-setting performance in the 400-meter hurdles, Sydney McLaughlin earned her second trip to the Olympics.
2015 UK graduate and UK Athletics Hall of Famer Keni Harrison, who set the world record in the 100 hurdles shortly after the 2016 Olympics, qualified for the first time in that event, winning the U.S. Olympic Trials in a time of 12.47 seconds.
Alumna Javianne Oliver '18 earned her trip to Tokyo by placing second in the 100-meter dash in 10.99 seconds. She advanced to the finals by finishing second in the semifinals with a time of 10.83 seconds.
They will be joined at the Olympics by Jasmine Camacho-Quinn '19, who will represent Puerto Rico in the 100 hurdles, and Leah Nugent '15, who made the Jamaican team in the 400m hurdles. Sophomore All-American Megan Moss will run as part of the 1,600 relay for Team Bahamas after finishing third in the 400 at The Bahamas Athletics Championships.
On the men's side, Daniel Roberts, the 2019 Southeastern Conference champion in the 110 hurdles, two-time double NCAA runner-up and U.S. Champion, was third in the final, running a season best 13.11 seconds.
Recent graduate Dwight St. Hillaire will be competing in the 400-meter dash and be a member of the 4x400m relay team for Team Trinidad and Tobago. St. Hillaire is coming off a first-team All-America performance in the 400-meters and 1,600-meter relay at NCAA Outdoor Championships.
Current UK volunteer assistant coach Devynne Charlton, who ran collegiately at Purdue for current UK coach Lonnie Greene, will represent the Bahamas in the 100 hurdles.
Kentucky basketball stars Bam Odebayo and Devin Booker have been selected for the U.S. men's basketball squad. The two were later joined by Keldon Johnson. Three other Wildcats – Tyler Herro, Immanuel Quickley and PJ Washington – were chosen for the 2021 USA Basketball Select Team that will train with the Olympic squad.
Jennifer O'Neill '15, an All-SEC performer for the UK Women, will play for Puerto Rico.
The 2021 national champion UK Rifle squad is sending two athletes to Tokyo. All-American and overall national champion Mary Tucker, qualified in both women's smallbore and women's air rifle and Will Shaner also qualified in air rifle.
Former Wildcat Henrik Larson, who won the individual air rifle national title at the 2018 NCAA Championships, will compete in the men's 50-meter smallbore for Norway.
Former player and current director of softball operations, Brittany Cervantes '12 '20 will play for Mexico in the first Olympic Games to have softball since the 2008 summer games in Beijing. Softball signee Alexia Lacatena was named as a 2020 Tokyo participant and will represent Team Italy in the Olympics.
Former UK All-American Ali Galyer '20, the school record holder in 400-meter medley relay, 400 freestyle relay, 800 freestyle relay, will swim the 100 backstroke, 200 backstroke and 400 freestyle for New Zealand, where her father was born and she has citizenship for athletics.
Peter Wetzlar '20, who holds the UK records 50 free, 200 medley relay and 200 and 400 freestyle relays, will represent his native Zimbabwe in the 50 freestyle. He is one of five athletes representing the country.
Lee Kiefer did not play a sport at UK, she was a fencer at Notre Dame. However, she attends the UK College of Medicine and will be making her third trip to the Olympics as a member of the U.S. fencing team. She is the top-ranked U.S. fencer and is ranked fifth in the world.

Q: Can you infer that $\int_a^b f d\alpha = f(0)$ with no assumptions of continuity on $f$ (but knowing that $f\in \mathcal R(\alpha)$)? My problem says

Let
  $$
\alpha(x)=
\begin{cases}
0, & x\in [-1,0).\\
\frac 1 2, & x=0.\\
1, & x\in (0,1].
\end{cases}
$$
Suppose $f\in \mathcal R(\alpha)$. Prove that $\int_{-1}^1fd\alpha=f(0)$.

And so I thought that I could grab any sequence of partitions $P_n$, with $\|P_n\|\to 0$, and that should give me the value of $\int_{-1}^1fd\alpha$.
Thus, I picked $P_n=\{-\frac 1{2n-k},0,\frac 1 {2n-k}: 1\leq k <2n \}$.
Note that $\operatorname{Card}(P_n)=2(2n-1)+1=4n-1$.
Then I calculated  $ S_{P_n}= \sum_{i=1}^{4n-2}f(x_i)(\alpha(x_{i+1})-\alpha(x_i))$: The first  and last $2n-2$ terms are $0$ as $\alpha$ is constant in those intervals, and I'm left with
$$
S_{P_n}=f\left(-\frac {1}{2n-1}\right)\left(\alpha(0)-\alpha\left(-\frac 1{2n-1}\right)\right)+f(0)\left(\alpha\left(\frac{1}{2n-1}\right)-\alpha(0)\right)
$$
If I knew that $f$ was continuous at $0$ then I'd be done, right? As all this would go to $f(0)$, but  I don't have that. How do I go from here?

A: Consider the partition $P_n = (-1, -1+2h, -1+4h, \dotsc, 1-2h, 1)$ for $h=\frac{1}{2n+1}$. Then, we have
$$ S_{P_n}(f) = f(0)\underbrace{(\alpha(h) - \alpha(-h)) }_{=1} = f(0) \to \int_{-1}^1 f \, d\alpha $$
by assumption.

Day 12: More Blossoms on the Press!
If one hydrangea looks good on paper, why not a whole garden of them???
Here you can see the 3 prints I can make with just 1 plate inking. Please let me know which one is your favorite!
The top image happens first - a full inking of black on the plate, with fresh flowers laid on top, and paper on top of that goes through the press. The gorgeous sepia shadows are made with the plant's own juices. The heavy cotton paper is dampened first to allow it to give around the stems, leaving a nice embossed texture.
The middle image happens next. I carefully remove the flowers and place a new sheet of damp paper on the plate. I tighten the press so it will absorb the leftover ink and all the fine details of the leaves and petals.
Lastly, with most of the ink off of the plate, I lay the inked flowers back onto the plate, turning them over so that the ink side is up to face the 3rd piece of paper. I like that the "ghost" images of the earlier printing still show behind the dark black of the new arrangement.
I'm really enjoying this long horizontal composition too. Next I have 3 new papers that I background printed with green. Can't wait to see how those look in the new "garden." This 30 in 30 challenge is a great push forward into new territory!


I am moving this back up to the top of the page. Check out the runners below. Did I miss anybody? Who should move up?
Feel free to comment below if I missed any runners or if you feel some of the runners above should move up.
Not to put any undue pressure on incoming freshman Izzy Fauria (St. Francis SJS), but I would not be surprised to see her pressing most of the top 10 here. Thinking an honorable mention wouldn't be a stretch at all given her times this past year.
I agree so adding two freshmen girls to the honorable mention list.
Anika Paylor 1600 5:07.61/3000 10:13.55. Incoming freshman.
Having been at several of her open competition races against collegian women, seen her workouts at American River College (with her coach) and having both met and talked with her parents at several races...as a coach (HS and USATF) and parent of two former High School elite runners...I can say that her parents and Ms. Fauria are all down-to-earth and look at running as fun versus something she HAS to accomplish. Having also known Jordan Hassay and her parents Theresa and Joe similarly, I will honestly state that I believe Izzy is on a similar tack...with an outstanding foundation. However, where she takes it from here will be up to great coaching, parenting and a drive that surpasses what most can comprehend. As I move back east I will continue watching this young woman progress with the right mindset and determination that only she can know and develop.
Anika Paylor will be attending what high school?
Let's be honest. Grace Dailey would come before before Emily Perez.
That is correct. Grace Dailey beat Emily Perez at both the NCS and state meets last XC season.
If there was an individual who beat someone on the list most of the time, including the league final, section, and state meets last year, would that individual belong on the list too?
That would seem pretty logical. Who is this runner?
Annika Paylor AND Oriana Jalal (1500 4:39.36) incoming freshmen at Los Gatos High School.
CCS Division 1 shaping up to be quite a battle for those team slots to CIF.
Surprised not to see Zach Walker of Willow Glen on the honorable mention list. He's coming off a sophomore season of 15:45 at Crystal Springs, and 4:21/9:34 in track.
High School. Oriana Jalal is not at Los Gatos High School.
Thank you for the excellent coverage you provide.
Thank you for the clarification. I will update this list after a few invitationals when it's a little more clear on who are the top runners and freshmen.
Welp, Isaias De Leon from De La Salle was just 3rd at the Cool Breeze Invite, so I'll say he should be added.
Good call. Will add him later tonight.
I'd have to say after Lagoon Valley, Isabella Dobson and Sophia Kaeperos, two of the four girls who broke 19 minutes on that tough course. Dobson had a solid track season. Kaeperos is just a freshman.
If Neil Braganza's on the list, then you should probably mention the top two or three Monte Vista guys.
This is clearly written by a San Joaquin fan.
"This is clearly written by a San Joaquin fan." This...list? This...comment? Do you mean Sac Joaquin? Your comment is very unclear.
Oh yes, I meant Sac-Joaquin.
At first glance I was surprised at the order and omissions on the guys side. Purely based on 2016 TF PRs. There is plenty I don't know about these athletes and their XC performances.
Additionally after a closer read I see the honorable mentions are alphabetical, not ranked, though I think some of those guys should be on the first list. Slaney for sure. We'll see how it shakes out.
Looks like Slaney had a great track season, but if you look at the top 10, they all went under 16 at State XC last year, whereas Slaney was 16:08. Season is early--there will no doubt be some shake ups, but I think the lists look good. :) Thanks Albert!
However Slaney had the 3rd fastest Crystal springs time last year @ 15:14, behind Robison and Zaeske. Both of whom graduated.
I know these lists aren't perfect, just a point of discussion.
Those ratings were posted during the summer and I weighted state meet performance above anything else. There is no question that Kent Slaney is one of the top runners in NorCal. I will update the team and individual rankings as we get closer to the end of September.
I'd say Ryan Cutter should be on every list after today...but you leaving him out seems to work just fine too.
Wow--you certainly had it right with Kent Slaney. Great performance at Lowell!
Yep. Both Slaney and Cutter made statements yesterday.
Do you have enough information for an updated ranking?
Can you list them with their previous ranking too?


Designed by Third Drawer Down in collaboration with the Easton Foundation the Louise Bourgeois Memory Card Game brings together famous textile works and quotes from the contemporary artist in a fun and educational game that can be played by children and adults, and stuck on the wall if you want to really make the most of it. A beautiful gift for children who have everything.
Louise Bourgeois was a French-born American artist who used her art to work through her experiences and seek calm and strength. She once said, " "To give meaning and shape to frustration and suffering. The existence of pain cannot be denied. I propose no remedies or excuses." Her interior life was often the basis of her work. The feelings she tapped into were universal yet complex and affecting. Third Drawer Down first collaborated with her in 2008 for a retrospective at the Tate Museum.

News: Heavy Earthquake hits NORTH-EAST India
5 Jan 2016 12:04 pm
A strong earthquake measuring a magnitude of 6.7 has struck North-East India on Monday. The quake caused damage to many buildings and spread panic in the region. The epi-centre is found to be at Tamenglong district in Manipur, which occurred at a depth of 17 km below the ground.
According to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), the earthquake which hit the region at 4.35 am, reported to have killed at least five persons along with 50 others injured.
Many buildings collapsed in Tamenglong region, while several others in Imphal developed cracks. People ran out of their homes looking for safe places. Nearly 20 persons were injured in Guwahati and other areas in Assam due to the earthquake.
All states in the North-East are categorized under zone V in India's Seismological map and considered to be highly vulnerable. According to the Regional Seismological Centre, the earthquake for is one of the biggest in recent times and was felt in the entire North-east region.


A couple of months back a song popped up on my Spotify Daily playlist. It was a song called "Losing Side of 25" by a band named American Aquarium. Its one of those songs that just jumped out at me and caused me to stop what i was doing and really listen to it. It is a song that resonated with me and my life, talking about getting older and being a musician and not going about life the way that others may have planned out for you. It talks about friends growing up and having kids and other families children getting "the good jobs" while the author of the song takes a different path and finds happiness in being a touring musician.
This song caused me to dig more into the band. Upon listening to them I found that many of the songs and themes really related to me. The sound of the band is also amazing outside of the lyrical content. This band is a blue collar, Americana, Alt-Country powerhouse that has built a following and fan base the old fashioned way by playing upwards of 300 dates a year. Lead singer and founder BJ Barham started this, his first and only band, while he was in college and hasn't looked back since. The band has gone through quite a few members over the years. The newest lineup of the band in my opinion is the best and tightest they have ever sounded.
I was thrilled when I saw they were coming to town. This was my first time experiencing American Aquarium live, and I was blown away. BJ has a great presence about him. He is charming, funny, and most of all honest. He is a great story teller and really sets the stage for the songs he is playing with his band. Whether he is talking about getting sober 4 years ago, parting with old band members, or speaking of his opinions of the current political climate in this country, there seems to be nothing he won't share with the audience. I'm not sure if all of his shows are like this or if the intimate setting of the City Winery made the show more of a "Story Tellers" show, but I can't wait to see them again to find out.
June 1st 2018 marks the release of the bands 10th album, "Things Change". I would highly recommend picking this up. I have been listening to it non stop since it came out. Be sure to catch American Aquarium the next time they come through your town. You will not be disappointed!!


The Good The Magellan RoadMate 1200 offers a simple design and basic navigation features at an affordable price.
The Bad The RoadMate 1200 doesn't have text-to-speech functionality, and the system is sluggish with route calculations and recalculations. There are no pedestrian and bicycle routing modes.
The Bottom Line Despite ease of use and an affordable price tag, the entry-level Magellan RoadMate 1200 portable navigation system suffers from various performance issues.
At first glance, the Magellan RoadMate 1200 looks to be a good entry-level in-car GPS. It has a compact, no-fuss design that's perfect for first-time buyers, and you get the most essential navigation features for an affordable $199.99. Sounds good, right? Not so fast, once on the road the RoadMate 1200 tells a different story. It's sluggish to perform tasks, such as route recalculation, and lacks some of the functionality that similarly priced systems offer. That said, if you're in the market for a basic portable navigation system, we'd recommend the Mio C230, which also adds text-to-speech functionality, or the TomTom One 3rd Edition.
The Magellan RoadMate 1200 is one of the smallest portable navigation systems we've seen in recent memory. It measures a petite 3.6 inches wide by 3.3 inches high by 0.6 inch deep and weighs a light 4.9 ounces. It's roughly the size of a deck of cards, so you could even mount it to a bicycle or use it as a handheld navigator while traveling on foot. Too bad the system doesn't offer bicycle or pedestrian routing modes. While the RoadMate 1200 feels solidly constructed, take care when transporting the unit between vehicles as the plastic shell could crack with a nasty tumble.
Now, the one trade-off to the RoadMate 1200's small frame is you don't get the larger 4.3-inch displays found on some of today's systems. Instead, you get a more standard 3.5-inch diagonal touch screen that admittedly looks cramped after having tested the wide screens, but it's still bright and sharp and we had no problems reading the maps. The touch screen is also responsive to commands.
The user interface is fairly intuitive and simple to master with clearly identified icons. Like other Magellan models, the RoadMate 1200 has a QuickSpell feature to aid in the text entry process. As you start to input the numbers and letters of an address on the virtual keyboard, QuickSpell dims any characters that don't match any of the city or streets located in the system's database.
Some final things to note: There is a SD expansion card slot and reset button on the right spine, while there's a mini USB port on the left and a sole power button on top of the unit. The Magellan RoadMate 1200 comes packaged with just a bare-bones list of accessories, which include a car charger and vehicle mount (windshield and dash). An AC adapter would have been a nice addition.
The Magellan RoadMate 1200 is a basic navigation system, so there really aren't any bells and whistles to this in-car GPS. It ships with an SD card preloaded with maps of the 48 contiguous United States, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico and has a 1.3 million points of interest database. To plan your trip, you can enter a specific address, an intersection, a zip code, or select a location from your Previous Destinations list. There's also a Trip Planner for multidestination journeys.
The POI catalog includes all the major categories and more specialized entries. As with systems today, you can search for restaurants by cuisine type and tapping on any POI icon will bring up the address and phone number if listed. The database is comprehensive, but we checked a number of businesses around San Francisco and found some out-of-date entries. There's also an Exit POI feature that will alert you to popular points of interest (e.g., restaurants, gas stations) along freeway exits, though this tool was hit or miss--mostly miss. We often got the message, "Exit POIS are not available for this road."
The RoadMate 1200 can calculate routes based on fastest time, shortest distance, least or most use of freeways, and without toll roads. As we mentioned earlier though, we're disappointed at the lack of a pedestrian or bicycle mode. There's a route simulator to give you a running demo of the trip, as well as a detour option if you want to avoid a certain portion of the route. If you happen to get off course along the way, you can rest easy, as the Maestro does automatic route recalculation. In addition, by pressing on the tow truck icon, you can get the coordinates of your current location, heading, and nearest cross streets.
Maps are available in 2D (north up or tracking up) or 3D modes with night or day color. In addition to that, you can get just a list of maneuvers or a split-screen view that shows both your 3D map and your next maneuver. To supplement the visual aids, the RoadMate 1200 provides text- and voice-guided turn-by-turn directions as well. Unfortunately, unlike the Mio C230, it doesn't support Magellan's SayWhere text-to-speech feature, which gives the Mio C230 an advantage in that department.
General performance on the Magellan RoadMate 1200 was slow. There was a bit of lag from the time we tapped an icon to the time a command was registered or we got the appropriate menu. Let's just say we spent a lot of time looking at the hourglass icon turn. For our road tests, we took to the streets of San Francisco and from a cold start, it took the unit about 3 minutes to get a fix our on position under clear skies. Subsequent starts took just a few seconds and the receiver did a good job of keeping its lock when driving throughout the city.
We also entered our standard trip from the Marina District to CNET's downtown headquarters. The RoadMate 1200 took its time returning with directions compared with other systems we've tested. However, the prescribe route was accurate. Once on the road, the voice-guided directions were loud and clear, and it punctuates its upcoming turn announcements with a chime (you can change the sound or turn this off under User Options). Unfortunately, road performance also suffered some setbacks because of the slow speeds. On a couple of occasions, the RoadMate 1200 would alert us to a turn right as we were passing the street, but it was worse with route recalculations, which got to be very frustrating.


Write an Action Plan You don't need to understand just what things to do, some of it you might have to to exercise along the way, but you should have an overall plan of actions. Every job will present some non-project benefits. It's unique in some manner. At the most basic level, any project or job occurs in the context of the wider group, and everybody should have the opportunity to emerge a winner. A conventional design with simple design elements is you should achieve a professional appearance. The illustration demonstrates that the corporation should sell approximately 1,222 units as a way to cross the break-even line.
If you've got little ones running around the house, you may not want to produce your jack-o-lantern overly spooky. When considering places, it would be wise to consider easy accessible locations. Be certain to replicate your principal benefit you offer clients three or more times on your commercial. Most people complicate life and become bogged down in decision making.
To achieve the results you desire, you should compose your own rules of great luck. Never talk in general terms when you're in a position to use a particular. The ideal way to get other people to trust you is by using body language. Giving every line another name is very likely to make editing a bit simpler. On another note, there is not any reason to use bold type for your very first line. To them, it's a black box. Half mask kits are also easily available to create your life simpler!
Any idea might be good one, but endeavor to consider something that's going to be easy for you to shoot budget wise. Ideas have a great symmetry. As an example, the concept of a child being forgotten at home more than probably gave us Home Alone. Always remember that the very first thing you are selling is yourself. It is too easy to just tune out.
When you understand what you're likely to state and your presentation is strong, public-speaking might still be a tiny nerve-wracking, but it is enjoyable, too. Invent images on your thoughts and store" them in several places around the area where you will deliver the presentation. Notes can make you feel somewhat better, but they also take a critical tool for your effectiveness. Before you decrease a project fee, be certain to're creating a good exchange.
Try to recall, a tagline isn't strictly necessary for each and every company, rather than having one is much better than a bad one. Exactly like in various parts of your organization, clients respond more favorably once you give them something of value at minimal cost. Then you'll be better ready to socialize with each customer on a higher degree, and boost your sales radically. You also will need to learn more about the clients' needs. Having a plausible estimate of advantages, the client has an effective circumstance to assess whether your planned fee is a great thing. Frequently he utilizes the ballpark number to find preliminary approval for the project.
Post Production when you've shot all of your scenes, it is time to bring everything together in editing. A consultative strategy is a process for discovery and proposing solutions. Send a succession of postings to the exact same folks To estimate adviser Richard Brock, Revenue is a practice of communication, not a function. To make expert sites is not always only by any indicates. Now let's look at the current letter. Keep a working list of activities you want to do now, and set them in prioritized order. Leaders of dispersed workforces need to establish that protocol by taking advantage of the teams early and reinforce it frequently.
Learn what goes into a fantastic tagline and the way to compose one. You just might locate a superb headline, a natural and extremely believable spokesperson and also the base for a significant profitable ad campaign. You may realize that it is amazing, interesting, reassuring, and absolutely faith-building once you begin to record and keep track of the amount of great ideas you've got. Radio has long been among the very best advertising choices for smaller companies. Radio stations need to perform a great deal of work speedily. Sales people can arrange for you to get your business running on a number of different channels with varied formats and respective audiences.
You can't have great resume templates if you don't know how to write one. It isn't hard to use the template, but it's crucial that you utilize the one. It can assist you in knowing some of the excellent templates that you may utilize. Selecting a great template is very important and if you're thinking to utilize it, you should use the correct one. You've got four formats to pick from. Additionally, it is important to understand what format you may use. There are several different types.
You have to create a resume of a CEO at a tiny enterprise. You can even explain that you simply share a great rapport with the boss and other people in the company. You don't need your boss to take your petition in the erroneous sense and wait against you.
You do not have to get overzealous with the specifics, but a couple details go a lengthy way.

Uma zona híbrida existe onde a distribuição de duas espécies não isoladas reprodutivamente se encontram. É onde a prole híbrida de dois táxons diferentes prevalece e há variação clinal na composição genética entre as populações dos táxons envolvidos. As duas (ou mais) linhagens geneticamente distintas que formam a zona híbrida são designadas como formas parentais. A variação clinal em zonas híbridas pode ser observada por meio do registro da frequência de alelos diagnósticos ou características fenotípicas de uma das populações ao longo de um transecto entre as duas populações parentais, tendo geralmente o formato de uma curva sigmoide que pode ser larga (gradual) ou estreita (acentuada) dependendo da proporção entre taxa de sobrevivência de híbridos e taxa de recombinação genética.

Uma zona híbrida pode se formar in situ devido à evolução de uma nova linhagem mas geralmente resultam de um segundo contato entre as formas parentais depois de um período de isolamento geográfico que permitiu a diferenciação.

Para uma zona híbrida ser estável, os descendentes produzidos pelo cruzamento das espécies (os [híbrido (biologia)|híbridos) têm de ser menos aptos que os membros das espécies parentais, embora esta condição não seja necessária na primeira geração (Híbrido F1) que pode apresentar vigor híbrido. Algumas zonas híbridas movimentam-se.

Zonas híbridas são úteis no estudo genético da especiação por exemplificar a diferenciação e às vezes fluxo gênico entre populações que em diferentes momentos representavam uma única espécie e representavam várias espécies em isolamento reprodutivo.

Tipos
Zonas híbridas podem ser primárias ou secundárias. Na prática é difícil distinguir entre as duas.

A primária ocorre quando há divergência entre populações adjacentes que antes eram uma espécie homogênea, o que poderia induzir especiação parapátrica. Essa população passa a se espalhar pela região, podendo encontrar um ambiente diferente ao qual precisa se adaptar, gerando especiação parapátrica. Ainda têm-se contato entre a população original e a nova, ocorrendo hibridização e a formação da zona híbrida.

A secundária ocorre quando duas populações, que passaram por especiação alopátrica, se reencontram e geram híbridos. O fluxo gênico pode ocorrer entre endocruzumento entre híbridos e parentais não-híbridos (introgressão).

Junkers Ju 88A-4, EE205, of No. 1426 (Enemy Aircraft Circus) Flight.
Originally of 3/KG30, the aircraft landed by mistake at Broadfield Down airfield (Lulsgate Bottom), near Bristol, after a night raid on Birkenhead on 23/24 July 1941. It was taken on charge by the Royal Aircraft Establishment as EE205 and, after tactical trials with the Air Fighting Development Unit, was flown to No. 1426 Flight, then at Duxford, on 28 August 1942. In 1945 EE205 was transferred to the Enemy Aircraft Flight of the Central Fighter Establishment at Tangmere, Sussex, and finally to No. 47 Maintenance Unit for storage in November 1945.
During it's time with 1426 flight, German markings were temporarily re-applied to EE205, for it's apperance in the 1943 film The Adventures of Tartu.

Q: Bluetooth pin request dialog appears even for paired device (Nexus 5) I'm developing a simple app to connect 2 devices via bluetooth and faced the next problem: on my Nexus 5 there are always a prompt to enter pin code, even if the second device is paired(it is in paired devices list and it's bond state == BOND_BONDED). On Samsung Galaxy S3 there are no such a problem, prompt only appears for the connection attempt.
Could you please advise if there any way to hide pin request dialog for the second connection attempt or somehow emulate pin entering?
I tried several solutions, proposed on SO, but none of them worked:
1. device.getClass().getMethod("cancelPairingUserInput", boolean.class).invoke(device, true);

2. device.setPairingConfirmation(false)

3. Method mm = device.getClass().getMethod("createBond", (Class[]) null);
   mm.invoke(device, (Object[]) null);

4. device.createBond()

5. device.setPin(pin)


Once considered something alternative mindfulness courses are being increasingly used by business to improve morale, productivity and the ability to cope with stress. Businesses as diverse as Transport for London (TfL), Google, Facebook, GlaxoSmithKline, the Home Office, the Cabinet Office, KPMG, and PricewaterhouseCoopers are all turning to mindfulness meditation as a tool for giving them an edge in a competitive market.
The benefits of a regular meditation practice include improvements to physical and mental health and an increased ability to be resilient and manage stress. This has the effect of supporting increased productivity and reduced sickness absence levels in staff. An example of this is Transport for London, which has seen the number of days taken off because of stress, anxiety and depression fall by 71% since introducing employees to mindfulness. Other benefits include heightened emotional intelligence, improved decision-making and strategic-thinking abilities, a heightened ability to focus and enhanced creativity. These are key abilities at all areas of a business as it will support improved levels of resilience, team work, productivity and problem solving whatever a persons level of responsibility.
In an increasingly competitive and demanding work environment the importance of supporting staff well-being is shown by the rise in mental health problems, with stress topping the league of reasons for long-term sickness absence according to research by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (2011). Mindfulness is a way to train the mind in a way that we can recognise that we are not a slave to our thoughts and that we can choose how to respond to internal and external events, two strands highlighted by the Mental Health Foundation as key to mental and emotional well being. The National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence's recommendation of MBCT as the treatment of choice for recurrent depression has also contributed to mindfulness gaining recognition as a significant form of intervention in cases of recurrent and ongoing mental health issues.
Its not just scientific research and meditation teachers noticing the benefits of mindfulness. A study of HR managers by the University of Washington in 2012 concludes that mindfulness helps us experience less stress and an increased focus when multitasking; whilst research by the Institute of Mindful Leadership found that for 93% of leaders surveyed, mindfulness training helped them create space for innovation. Some 89% said it enhanced their ability to listen to themselves and others, and nearly 70% said it helped them think strategically.

Michael Mann's widely adored Heat really does have it all: a great cast, dynamic performances, kinetic action, and, last but not least, a gorgeous homewrecker. The last component is Ashley Judd, sporting blonde-dyed hair and vamping it up as Val Kilmer's adulterous wife. With so many bodies dropping and guns busting, it's nice to think about something other than bullet-ridden corpses every time Judd appears on screen. Though, the word "busting" still applies.


The Dock Point Trail, although rather short, numbers among one of the prettiest for its size. Close up views of a grass and wildflower meadow from the boardwalks, along with spruce trees and ground dogwood, offer good photographic opportunities. The West and East overlooks offer good overviews across Valdez Bay. An eagle's nest located an one of the islands can be seen from the north side of the trail. A variety of plant life makes this trail a nature lover's delight.
Because of the increased use of the 1899 Pack Trail, it was upgraded in order to accommodate sleds, wagons, and eventually automobiles. By 1905, the Valdez Transportation Company was offering a nine day stagecoach trip to Fairbanks for $150. In 1913, the first automobile traveled from Valdez to Fairbanks over the improved trail, even though the Goat Trail section was difficult to maintain due to snow and rock slides.
The Snowslide Gulch area posed a particular problem as massive snowslides would periodically destroy or severely damage its bridge. Bear Creek Bridge, the last of the four main trail bridges, was built in 1943. This 300 foot steel arch bridge is a good example of World War II construction. The Goat Trail/Wagon Road was in use as late as 1952 when a major flood destroyed the 317 foot long Lowe River Bridge, located just upstream from the mouth of Keystone Canyon. What remains of the concrete piers can still be seen in the river. Once a through trail, the Goat Trail and Wagon Road are now considered two separate trails because of the destruction of the bridge at Snowslide Gulch during the floods of 2006.
Mineral Creek Valley is one of the most scenic drives in this area. The rough gravel road begins at the upper end of Mineral Creek Drive and runs for a distance of approximately 5.5 miles before reaching a gate and parking area. With mountains rising to over 5,000 feet and beautiful waterfalls on each side, the scenic vistas can be overwhelming.
About halfway up the road, a fork will be reached. The right hand fork leads to the water where a small tram was used years ago to service the McIntosh Roadhouse (1912 era), which was located on the other side of Mineral Creek. The left hand side continues up the valley.
The W.L. Smith Stamp Mill is located at the end of the Mineral Creek Trail. This mill was built in 1913 and used in conjunction with the Mountain King Mine, which was located about 3,000 feet above sea level on the east side of Mineral Creek.
(Formerly Solomon Gulch Trail) The trail climbs through a beautiful coastal spruce forest where it intersects with the Trans Pipeline Service (TAPS) road and continues to Solomon Gulch. During 1915 an aerial tramway, 5.25 miles long, was put into operation and ran from the beach, up Solomon Gulch, to the Midas Mine (Jumbo claim). More than 1,000,000 pounds of copper were produced before closing down in 1919. The tram was run by current that was furnished by the then local electric plant on Solomon Gulch. The present dam and power station were finished in 1982 and supply power to the Valdez and Glennallen areas during the summer months.
The trail begins from the west end of the first parking area at Allison Point at Dayville Road (Alyeska Terminal Road). The trail starts up a steep hill where it then joins the TAPS access corridor. There is a sign-in sheet at the gate which is passed on the left.
The track continues up another steep hill before dropping down into Solomon Gulch. The 2 penstocks passing overhead carry water to the power station and are made from surplus Alyeska pipe. The pipeline access road continues straight ahead but the trail veers to the right, up Solomon Gulch.
After passing through a pipe storage yard and another bridge, the dam is reached. By looking up the lake, the access road to the mines can be faintly seen on the left side. Very good informational signs are along the way.
TIME: 2-2.5 hours round trip. DISTANCE: 3.8 miles round trip.
Section A of the Shoup Bay Trail runs from the trail head to Gold Creek bridge. This scenic tract transverses the West Mineral Creek flats, running through an alder forest. It then opens out onto the grasslands after 8/10 a mile. Many wildflowers and interesting prospects can be seen for the next 2/10 of a mile until the trail starts to climb.
After crossing 2 small streams (caution: water levels change with weather conditions) the trail begins a steep ascent offering views of Valdez to the east and Valdez Bay to the south and west. A steep descent brings one onto Gold Creek and then to the camping area and bridge. The trail to the left before the bridge leads to a camping area with a firepit, restroom and food lockers.
During 1914, the Budd Mining Company was making preparations to start hydraulic operations in the basin above the falls as it was believed that gold placers existed in paying quantities. However, during the summer of that year, work was stopped owing to a proposed change of ownership.
The trail starts from the parking area located on the left at the west end of Egan Street. The track is wide and easy going with a few bridges and boardwalks in place. After about 1.2 miles, a short side trail leads down to the beach. The main trail, now being back in alder growth, starts a steep ascent to break out after a while and offer good views. Then a steep descent to the Gold Creek Bridge and camping area.
TIME: 4 hours round trip. DISTANCE: 6.5 miles round trip.
Section B of the Shoup Bay Trail runs from the Gold Creek Bridge to the north end of Shoup Bay. Starting from the bridge, the trail runs through a grove of spruce trees. It will then start a gradual, and at times steep, climb to the divide overlooking Shoup Bay. This section may be very muddy and difficult to follow at times due the overgrowth. Spectacular views of Shoup Bay can be obtained from the divide. The trail continues along the east side of the bay until the inner bay is reached. From this point there are good views of the kittiwake rookery.
This section of the trail begins at the Gold Creek Bridge. From the bridge take the right hand fork for 3.2 miles until the divide is reached. The track is quite steep in places and, depending upon the weather, very muddy.
The trail may be difficult to follow due to the extensive growth of vegetation. Descending from the divide via a series of switchbacks, the trail runs along the east side of Shoup Bay. A section of stairs is reached at 1.6 miles from the divide. The trail continues to descend, and, with the help of a series of cairns, crosses Uno Creek. The trail continues to the inner bay.
The distance from the stairs to the inner bay is 1.4 miles.
TIME: 5 hours O.W. DISTANCE: 6.3 miles O.W.

Close Bros 20% profit slide as CEO resigns
By Nick Goodway for MailOnline
Updated: 07:04 EDT, 29 September 2008
City bank Close Brothers saw its profits plunge 20% last year as the credit crunch hit its corporate finance, fund management and market-making businesses.
The bank also confirmed the departure of chief executive Colin Keogh, who rejected a £1.5bn takeover bid from rival Cenkos at the end of last year.
The shares have fallen by more than a third since then.
Keogh, 55, would not comment today on whether he had been forced out.
He said he would stay on until a successor was found, which was likely to take several months.
'Now is a good time to commence the search for a successor to take the group forward in what will be a new era for banking,' he said.
He said that today's results, which saw profits drop £173m to £137m in the year to end-July, were 'resilient in a year which has been as eventful and challenging as any in the bank's history'.
Close Brothers' largest division, banking, was the only one to increase profits last year with a 4% rise to £74.5m despite a 28% rise in losses on bad loans and debts to £27.5m.
Keogh said the bank's balance sheet was much stronger than many of its larger rivals with funding covering the loan book more than twice over.
The biggest fall in profits came in fund management which caters primarily to wealthy individuals and saw an outflow of funds during the year.
Funds under management fell 10% to £8.2 bn which Keogh said came roughly half from falling markets and half from people withdrawing funds.
Corporate finance profits more than halved, dropping from £22.5m to just £10m. That reflected the near drying-up of deals by Close's core of small and medium-sized companies.
In securities, profits fell 12% to £38.7m with market Winterflood feeling the effects of markets volatility. The dividend rose 2p to 39p.

Based on research on how volunteering contributes to people's subjective well‐being, this study uses the case of the Peace & Love festival in Borlänge, Sweden, the largest music and societal cohesion city festival in Sweden, to suggest an individual, organizational, and societal cost-benefit model, including intangible values such as subjective well-being and social capital. Previous studies on the festival's audience correlated an individual's subjective well‐being and their voluntary engagements. Does this relationship hold for the volunteers?
The festival calls for about 6,000 volunteers. Their contribution, in traditional economic terms, is about SEK 18 million (€2.1 million), corresponding to about 20 percent of the festival's net turnover. Volunteers seem to be necessary to make ends meet financially. Volunteer motives, ranging from rational choice to pure altruism, are addressed. For a teenager, the weekly pass is quite expensive: as a result, some people only volunteer to get festival access. Such participants usually require more supervision than altruistic volunteers. However, the societal return may be large for this group considering the amount of young, first-time volunteers introduced to civil engagement. The festival volunteers report an average subjective well-being of 8.2 compared to the festival visitors averaging 7.6 on a scale 0–10, where 10 is the maximum, implying positive effects on the intangible values.


TIP! Concentrate on making your customers happy. It isn't as hard to build a repeat customer base as it is to bring in new customers.
Many people find it difficult to understand exactly how to run a successful home based business. Understand, work from home business is easier than you might think. Learning tips of the trade, like the ones from this article, is the first step in understanding home based business.
If you need to spend time driving to get things done for your business, it's vital that you record your mileage and keep careful track of all your receipts. While you may only be going to the store to buy supplies, you can write off your mileage and gas 100%. However, you need to be able to prove that that the travel is necessary for your business.
TIP! You should start your business from home while keeping your old job. Since it may take a long time for your business to produce a profit, keeping your present position is highly recommended.
Focus your business efforts on maintaining the happiness of your regular customers. It takes much less effort to produce sales from happy repeat customers than it does to convince a new one to buy for the first time. Your repeat customers are the bulk of your business and when they are happy, they will keep coming back!
TIP! If you are considering selling a product or a service, determine the going rate for that product or service in today's marketplace. Be aware of what competitors are charging for their products, and be prepared to offer yours at a cheaper price.
You need to be determined and a self-starter, in order to be successful with a home business. Building a separate structure for your home business might be a good idea – or even a legally required one, depending on your local codes. This is particularly well-suited for home businesses with a lot of face-to-face sales, as it keeps customers out of your private home. This will also create breathing space between your home and professional life.
TIP! Make goals each day. There may be a few things you don't get around to, but setting reasonable and achievable goals everyday can help you accomplish more.
Do a background and previous work history check on anyone you think of hiring for your work from home business. You want to make sure that your employees are reliable and skilled in the product that you are going to sell, or else you are taking the risk of your business flopping.
TIP! All home-based businesses should have a clear objective. This is a short, punchy description of your company and its services.
You need to to let your customers know if you have an item on back-order. It is a sure-fire way to upset your customers when they find out their products had to be placed on back order, and will not be ready for immediate delivery. If a product is on back-order and can't be delivered swiftly, say that prominently on your website, and offer them a suitable substitute to it.
TIP! You need to work on business promotion at every turn. If you are chatting with people and the conversation somehow pertains to your business you should bring it up.
Be sure to properly use all the tips you just read. You will want to make sure you remember all of the new material you have just learned so you can apply them to create a successful home based business. Using these tips is the best way to find success with your home business enterprise.

Surface Forces: Little Things Mean A Lot
September 29, 2016: In mid-2016 Russia ordered more Buyan-M class corvettes. The exact quantity was not given apparently because details of new features as well as uncertainty over how much cash the navy will have in 2017 (because of low oil prices and sanctions) and how many new export customers there are for Buyan-M.
Buyan class vessels were originally built as smaller (550 ton) ships and the first of these Buyans entered service in 2006. Only three were built before it was decided that the larger and more heavily armed Buyan-M was the way to go. In 2013 the first of five larger Buyans entered service (thee in the Caspian Sea and two in the Black Sea).
The larger Buyan-M was a 950 ton ship that is 74 meters (243 feet) long and has a crew of 36. Top speed is 45 kilometers an hour and endurance is ten days. Armament consists of a 100mm gun, two 14.5mm machine-guns, two AK-630 multibarrel 30mm autocannon for close range defense against missiles and aircraft. There are eight vertical launch tubes holding 1.2 ton 3K14 Kaliber anti-ship missiles (range 300 kilometers). There is also a short-range (5-6 kilometers) missile system (Gibkha 3M47) with eight missiles. There is an air/surface radar and optional sonar. The newly ordered Buyan-Ms are a little larger, at 1,047 tons but otherwise armed and equipped as the first five.
The heavily armed Buyan (or Bayan) provides you with a low-cost patrol vessel that can handle just about anything it runs into during coastal patrols and can even be useful in wartime. This is one of several new Russian designs intended for coastal patrol. At the high end there is the 2,200 ton Stereguschyy class corvettes that entered service in 2007 followed by six more.

021-0192-0008 Millwood Colored School
Millwood Colored School is a one-story, two-room, frame school that was constructed around 1910 for African American pupils of Millwood, a small village in southern Clarke County and the Chapel Rural Historic District. The school was built using funds donated by local citizen Graham F. Blandy, who was interested in the education of black youths in the area. For 83 years, until the school closed in 1952, its educators were instrumental in teaching black students to read and write, and also trained them in technical and trade skills. After the building was no longer used as a school, the Millwood Good Will Association purchased it. Renamed the Millwood Community Center, the former school continues to be a center for community activities.


CEA has arrived in our Santa Monica showroom.
We're so excited to welcome Italian manufacturer CEA Design to our showrooms. Husband-and-wife team Natalino Malasorti and Roberta Bertacco run the firm and we're head-over-heals for their super-stylish and ultra-minimalist designs. What began with just bathroom taps in the 1980s quickly grew into a larger firm now offering kitchen taps, outdoor shower designs, ceiling fans and an ingenious wall-mount hanging system called Hook that can be adapted to hold everything from pots and pans to bicycles. (No wonder it caught editors' attention at Wallpaper magazine last month.) CEA has also rounded out their stainless steel designs with colorful finish options and a variety of beautiful wood accents. So many cool things on offer, and all created with a focus on the environment and sustainability. See why we're so excited to have them? Scroll below, then come see them in person. We think you'll become fast fans, too.
Below, we've rounded up a few inspiration images of European design projects that have incorporated CEA Designs into their kitchens and baths…and garages! Los Angeles designers, how will you use them?

2010 Decade
Best movies of 2010s – IndieWire
Ten years ago, it seemed like we all had a pretty solid idea of movies — what they can do, who they're for, and where they're watched. That idea was inflexible, and supported by a century of precedent. It came with the added benefit of making the people in charge comfortable with the idea that cinema's future wouldn't look all that different from its past. DVD sales were strong, Netflix was still just a sad little envelope at the bottom of your mailbox, and China was starting to give studios the biggest safety net it ever had. Perhaps the arrival of James Cameron's "Avatar" in the waning moments of 2009 could have been seen as a harbinger of strange things to come, but no one in Hollywood has ever lost sleep over a movie that grossed nearly $3 billion.
Things have changed. Cinema is in a constant state of flux, but it's never mutated faster or more restlessly than it has over the last 10 years. And while the decade will no doubt be remembered for the paradigm shifts precipitated by streaming and monolithic superhero movies, hindsight makes it clear that the definition of film itself is exponentially wider now than it was a decade ago.

Silicon Valley Trends of the 2010's
Literally Everything Should Connect To The Internet
…Then there's the Griffin Connected Toaster ($99), which sends a notification to your smartphone when your toast is done. Perfect for those who can't hear the sound of the toaster while swimming in their giant money bin. For some real Star Trek meets Idiocracy shit, the toaster can also pair with the upcoming Griffin Connected Mirror (estimated at $1,000), which displays the weather, news headlines, and toast readiness while you brush your teeth. So much more convenient than glancing at your phone.
There are even smart flip-flops, which pair with an app to send you "special offers" (ads) as you walk around. Not even the makers seem able to justify this. Onvi is developing a toothbrush that films the inside of your mouth and beams the footage to your phone, presumably to market to some fetish community we haven't heard of. And if you're thinking Silicon Valley can go shove this tech up their ass, don't worry. They literally can with the Kinsa Smart Stick rectal thermometer ($125). You simply connect the thermometer to your phone via the headphone jack, and it displays the results through an app! Just, uh, make sure you plug each side into the right hole.

AV Club's 100 best movies of the 2010's
A lot happened, in other words, over the back half of the 2010s. If there was a comfortable constant, it was that for all the changes to the cinema landscape, movies themselves still delivered. Without fail, people kept making good ones, in stubborn defiance of the bellyaching cliché that they never make 'em like they used to. Whether judged as a whole or as two five-year parts, the 2010s were a terrific decade for film; you just had to be willing to go looking for the best, and to look outside of an increasingly IP-obsessed studio system—not that the multiplex didn't offer some gems of its own, including the movie you'll find at the very top of The A.V. Club's new list of the decade's best.

One of the primary factors a user takes into consideration when purchasing a smartphone is its battery life support. Microsoft's new kids on the block i.e. the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL smartphones boast robust batteries, but how capable are the devices?
GSMArena conducted a battery life comparison of the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL smartphones, both of which sport the Quad HD AMOLED panels.
While the 5.2-inch Lumia 950 houses a Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor, the 5.7-inch Lumia XL boasts a Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor. On paper, it would seem that the newer Snapdragon 810 chip powering the bigger 5.7-inch model would be more powerful of the two, but did this translate to the physical tests as well?
The Lumia 950 houses a 3,000mAh battery which is smaller than the 3,340mAh battery on the Lumia 950 XL. The latter's battery offers 10 percent more power. The Lumia 950 XL's battery is one of the biggest around and pales only next to the 3,400mAh battery on the Lumia 1520.
The battery comparisons revealed that the Lumia 950XL easily trumped the Lumia 950 when it comes to talk time support on 3G and web browsing.
"The Lumia 950 XL posted great and very respectable 17 hours endurance on the 3G talk time test, doubling the Lumia 950 score. The web browsing on the Lumia 950 is just average at 7 and a half hours, but the Lumia 950 XL lasted some 3 hours more for a total runtime of 10 hours and 50 minutes," says GSMArena.
The video playback offered by the Lumia 950 XL on a single battery charge was 10 hours and 38 minutes. The Lumia 950, by comparison, offered 9 hours and 40 minutes.
Therefore, as the comparison shows, a newer Snapdragon 810 processor could potentially be the difference between the two smartphones' performance.
However, while both the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL performed well, the devices' performance pales compared to some Android-powered handsets as shown by the graph.
The standby time offered by the duo is similar to that from other Windows Phones, many with smaller batteries. Both the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL could last only for a week on a single battery charge when left idle, a dismal performance for smartphones with a big battery size. This aspect suggests that the Windows Phone operating system could use some improvements.
The Lumia 950 garnered an overall rating of 48h i.e. the time the battery should last if one makes hour-long calls, browse the web or play videos for the same period in a day.
Per the publication, the Lumia 950 emerges "average" on the different tests and the standby endurance. The Lumia 950 XL, on the other hand, performed a tad better, scoring a 62h rating. With an overall average score, this is not impressive for a phablet.

UB By the Numbers

After only 301 days of construction, the Varsity—a luxury, all-student housing facility at the corner of Biddle Street and Maryland Avenue—opened in time for the fall semester. Of its 301 residents (a pure numerical coincidence), 85 percent are UB students (the Varsity is available to any student from any institution), and 77 percent of these UB residents are new to the University this year.

When the British burned Washington, D.C., in 1814 (during the War of 1812), then-President James Madison fled the capital and sought shelter for his government. He was welcomed in the Quaker town of Brookeville, Md., where students in the accelerated course HIST 383: Community History conducted original research this past summer. They developed mini-histories about the town as they worked in archives, met and collaborated with historians, and contributed to a public-history project.
Marking the fifth time since the Corporation for National and Community Service launched its list of exemplary institutions in 2006, UB has been included on the 2012 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. According to the corporation's website, the list annually recognizes "institutions that achieve meaningful, measureable outcomes in the communities they serve."
UB's done it again: This year, we welcomed 6,569 students to campus, marking an increase of 121 students from fall 2011 and setting a new enrollment record for the University. This headcount includes 3,426 undergraduates, 2,031 graduate students and 1,112 law students. UB's newest population, its ever-expanding freshman class, grew 38 percent from fall 2011 to a total of 264 students.
Between this fall and next, UB will introduce three new degree programs: an M.A. in Global Affairs and Human Security (launched fall 2012), a B.A. in Digital Communication and an M.S. in Innovation Management and Technology Commercialization (both to come). In addition, UB's M.S. in Human Services Administration is now offered at the Universities of Shady Grove in Rockville, Md.
When UB alumni give back to the University, they offer their time, energy and passion in addition to providing financial support. During Fiscal Year 2012, 170 alumni volunteered to help out with initiatives like Backpack to Briefcase, provided career mentorship through programs like Savor UB and offered leadership to various boards and advisory councils. Interested in getting involved? Contact the Office of Alumni Relations at alumni@ubalt.edu or 410.837.6131.
Through a 2012 Alfred P. Sloan Award for Faculty Retirement Transitions, UB has received $100,000 to help retired faculty members travel to conferences and receive assistance from human resources professionals. UB was one of 15 institutions nationwide recognized by the American Council on Education and the Sloan Foundation.
Requests for membership in UB's Professional Development Institute have been overwhelming. The newest element of the recently renamed Career and Professional Development Center, the institute matches students with faculty, staff and alumni mentors to discuss career goals and develop professional plans. For the fall semester, the institute received 130 applications from prospective mentees for 80 slots. (The institute accommodated 93 students.)
To help meet demand, the institute is recruiting alumni mentors. To learn more about participating, email pdi@ubalt.edu or call 410.837.5440.
In its new 2013 America's Best Colleges guide, U.S. News & World Report ranked the University of Baltimore among the top 25 (at No. 23, if you're counting) public universities in the northern region. Ranking criteria include student retention and graduation, faculty resources, peer assessment and financial resources.

Happy Pink Saturday and Happy New Year, Jillian! Your slippers are adorable and I think it's fabulous that you are taking ballet again. Good for you! Thanks for sharing and have a lovely weekend.
The slippers are delightful! How wonderful to pick up dance again - What a sweet gift!
It is good for us to do something different for a change. However, bale was never for me. I never had the feet for it.
I admire you for going for it and your husband for indulging you! I am envious as I am a wannabe dancer that will never be! Have fun!
Good for you starting Ballet again! You will have a blast...enjoy!
I love this!! How wonderful that your hubby gave you such a wonderful gift!! Dance away!


Facts: A dry cleaning business subleased space in a shopping center. The business owner was also the guarantor on the sublease. The subtenant prematurely vacated the space. The landlord sued the subtenant. A trial court ruled in favor of the landlord, awarding it $343,000 in damages. The damages represented lost rent over the remainder of the sublease, real estate escalation charges, the cost of a new sign, the costs of preparing the space for re-rental, and the proportional real estate broker's fee for obtaining a new tenant.

Welcome to my stop on the Spooktacular Giveaway Hop hosted by I Am A Reader. For my stop I decided to give away a copy of Black Ice by Becca Fitzpatrick. I read this one recently and really enjoyed it. It was thrilling and the mystery was good-- perfect for Halloween!
Sadly, I don't have one! I'm going strong to have one this year. Between The Spark and The Burn was pretty creepy. Thanks!
Mmmm.... I have read a few creepy books, but I can't really pick one. I guess for right now it's Anna Dressed in Blood! That was such a good read!!
I don't really have a favorite Halloween read. I enjoy PNR/urban fantasy all year round.
I'd have to say anything by RL Stine. Thanks for the giveaway.
My favorite Halloween read would have to be Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz. I've read that book since I was kid with my sister we would always make a fort with a blanket and grab candles and read it to each other. Though now that I think about it that was pretty dangerous, but it was fun. i now read it alone though, I seriously love that book.
I love to read PNR/UF the whole year round, and don't like gory horror stories. I guess I would have to say that my TOP favorite is The Twilight Saga, although I don't think of those books as Halloween stories. Still, they do have vamps & werewolves in them. Hmmmm....I did enjoy "The Forbidden Game", by L.J. Smith. ( This is the omnibus edition.) Now that one WAS a bit scary! But I LOVED it!! Her "Night World" books are also great!
My favorite halloween read is Don't Breath a Word by Jennifer McMahon.
I like It by Stephen King.
My favorite Halloween-y read is Harry Potter. It has witches and wizards...can't get much more Halloween-y.
I'm not a seasonal reader, but right now I'm reading Witch Hunter Olivia by T.A. Kunz, and I'm loving it!
The Tell Tale Heart by Poe.
My favorite Halloween read is "A Discovery of Witches" by Deborah Harkness!
I like to read Children's Halloween books.
It's not really a Halloween read, but I like House of Dark Shadows as a scary series.
Thanks for the fabulous giveaway! We WANT this. Right now our favorite is Anna ;) We love you GOBS!
I don't tend to read anything I'd consider Halloween reading. I just read whatever I'm currently into. My interests jump all over the place, so I get into these kicks for a few weeks where I only touch romance novels or a particular kind of paranormal creature.
Read the walking dead. Not that I only like to read it during Halloween. It just seems more appropriate.
I like Stephen King's The Shining, it is really scary!!!
Ten by Gretchen McNeil. SO good. Thanks for the giveaway!
I'll read it at any time, but my favorite creepy me out book is Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None.
Hands down I would have to say that it was the Demonata Series by Darren Shan. This series is really creepy and will keep you up for nights! I could not put them down though. He is a great author!
I like Edgar Allan Poe for Halloween.
Unbreakable. Thanks for the giveaway!
I don't really read alot of scary books but I loved anna dressed in blood.
Thank you for the great giveaway one of my favorite authors!
I enjoyed Evie's Knight by Kimberly Krey.
Hand me anything by Stephen King and I'm happy.
I try to read new books each year so I can't really say I have a favorite. BUt I like most Stephen King's spooky novels.
I sometimes re-read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
My fave is The Shining by Stephen King. Thanks for the chance!
