Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Charles S. Kettles was born in Ypsilanti, Mich., Jan. 9, 1930. The son of a World War I Royal Air Force (Canadian) and World War II Air Transport Command (U.S. Army Air Corps) pilot, Kettles had aviation in his blood. While attending the Edison Institute High School in Dearborn, Michigan, Kettles honed his love of flying on the Ford Motor Company Flight Department simulator.
Following high school graduation, Kettles enrolled in Michigan State Normal College (now Eastern Michigan University), where he studied engineering. Two years later, Kettles was drafted to the Army at age 21. Upon completion of basic training at Camp Breckinridge, Kentucky, Kettles attended Officer Candidate School at Fort Knox, Kentucky, and earned his commission as an armor officer in the U.S. Army Reserve, Feb. 28, 1953. Kettles graduated from the Army Aviation School in 1953, before serving active duty tours in Korea, Japan and Thailand.
Kettles returned in 1956 and established a Ford Dealership in Dewitt, Michigan, with his brother, and continued his service with the Army Reserve as a member of the 4th Battalion, 20th Field Artillery.
He answered the call to serve again in 1963, when the United States was engaged in the Vietnam War and needed pilots. Fixed-wing-qualified, Kettles volunteered for Active Duty. He attended Helicopter Transition Training at Fort Wolters, Texas in 1964. During a tour in France the following year, Kettles was cross-trained to fly the famed UH-1D "Huey."
Kettles reported to Fort Benning, Georgia, in 1966 to join a new helicopter unit. He was assigned as a flight commander with the 176th Assault Helicopter Company, 14th Combat Aviation Battalion, and deployed to Vietnam from February through November 1967. His second tour of duty in Vietnam lasted from October 1969, through October 1970.

In 1970, Kettles went to Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas, where he served as an aviation team chief and readiness coordinator supporting the Army Reserve. He remained in San Antonio until his retirement from the Army in 1978.
Kettles completed his bachelor's degree at Our Lady of the Lake University, San Antonio, Texas, and earned his master's degree at Eastern Michigan University, College of Technology, in commercial construction. He went on to develop the Aviation Management Program at the College of Technology and taught both disciplines. He later worked for Chrysler Pentastar Aviation until his retirement in 1993. Kettles currently resides in Ypsilanti, Michigan, with his wife Ann.
Kettles' awards and decorations include the Distinguished Service Cross, the Legion of Merit, the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Bronze Star Medal with one bronze oak leaf cluster, Air Medal with Numeral "27", the Army Commendation Medal with one bronze oak leaf cluster, the National Defense Service Medal with one bronze service star, the Korean Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal with one silver service star and one bronze service star, the Korea Defense Service Medal, the Armed Forces Reserve Medal with bronze hourglass device, the Master Aviator Badge, Marksman Badge with carbine bar, the Valorous Unit Citation, the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with bronze star, the United Nations Service Medal, the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal with "60" Device, and the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross Unit Citation with palm device.

May 15, 1967 | Duc Pho, Republic of Vietnam | Song Tra Cau riverbed
During the early morning hours of May 15, 1967, personnel of the 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, were ambushed in the Song Tra Cau riverbed by an estimated battalion-sized force of the North Vietnamese army with numerous automatic weapons, machine guns, mortars and recoilless rifles. The enemy force fired from a fortified complex of deeply embedded tunnels and bunkers, and was shielded from suppressive fire. Upon learning that the 1st Brigade had suffered casualties during an intense firefight with the enemy, then-Maj. Charles S. Kettles, volunteered to lead a flight of six UH-1D helicopters to carry reinforcements to the embattled force and to evacuate wounded personnel. As the flight approached the landing zone, it came under heavy enemy attack. Deadly fire was received from multiple directions and Soldiers were hit and killed before they could leave the arriving lift helicopters.
Jets dropped napalm and bombs on the enemy machine guns on the ridges overlooking the landing zone, with minimal effect. Small arms and automatic weapons fire continued to rake the landing zone, inflicting heavy damage to the helicopters. However, Kettles refused to depart until all reinforcements and supplies were off-loaded and wounded personnel were loaded on the helicopters to capacity. Kettles led them out of the battle area and back to the staging area to pick up additional reinforcements.
Kettles then returned to the battlefield, with full knowledge of the intense enemy fire awaiting his arrival. Bringing reinforcements, he landed in the midst of enemy mortar and automatic weapons fire that seriously wounded his gunner and severely damaged his aircraft. Upon departing, Kettles was advised by another helicopter crew that he had fuel streaming out of his aircraft. Despite the risk posed by the leaking fuel, he nursed the damaged aircraft back to base.
EMERGENCY EXTRACTION

Later that day, the infantry battalion commander requested immediate, emergency extraction of the remaining 40 troops, and four members of Kettles' unit who were stranded when their helicopter was destroyed by enemy fire. With only one flyable UH-1 helicopter remaining, Kettles volunteered to return to the deadly landing zone for a third time, leading a flight of six evacuation helicopters, five of which were from the 161st Aviation Company. During the extraction, Kettles was informed by the last helicopter that all personnel were onboard, and departed the landing zone accordingly. Army gunships supporting the evacuation also departed the area.
"We got the 44 out. None of those names appear on the wall in Washington. There's nothing more important than that."
Retired Lt. Col. Charles Kettles
Once airborne, Kettles was advised that eight troops had been unable to reach the evacuation helicopters due to the intense enemy fire. With complete disregard for his own safety, Kettles passed the lead to another helicopter and returned to the landing zone to rescue the remaining troops. Without gunship, artillery, or tactical aircraft support, the enemy concentrated all firepower on his lone aircraft, which was immediately damaged by a mortar round that damaged the tail boom, a main rotor blade, shattered both front windshields and the chin bubble and was further raked by small arms and machine gun fire.
Despite the intense enemy fire, Kettles maintained control of the aircraft and situation, allowing time for the remaining eight Soldiers to board the aircraft. In spite of the severe damage to his helicopter, Kettles once more skillfully guided his heavily damaged aircraft to safety. Without his courageous actions and superior flying skills, the last group of Soldiers and his crew would never have made it off the battlefield.

In May 1967, the 176th received orders to provide aviation support to the 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, as part of a provisional division-sized unit called Task Force Oregon. The company stayed with this command, until August 1967, when it transitioned its support to other Americal Division elements.

11th hour bailout request for Greece
By R.B. KlamaJuly 1, 2015
Greece (MNN) — It took guts to do it…or extreme desperation. Hours before Greece was set to default on its debts, Greece asked the International Monetary Fund for its third European bailout in five years.
The alternative could be catastrophic.
Greece is one of 19 countries that share the euro. It means that goods and services can go across borders without changing currency. If Greece can't renegotiate its debt, it could be forced out of the Eurozone.
A default would mean at least couple of firsts: (1) it's the largest single overdue payment in IMF history, ( 2) as well as the first advanced economy to default in IMF's 70-year history. As far as defaults go, Greece would join Afghanistan, Haiti, and Zimbabwe in that distinction, although Afghanistan and Haiti were both dealing with major insurgencies at the time.
In an effort to prevent impending default, Greece also requested a short-term extension of the current bailout program. However, any bailout would be attached to stiff reforms from creditors. At the same time, the country is set to vote Sunday on proposals from the country's creditors.

How this is fiscal showdown hitting the average citizen? Tasos Ioannidis with AMG International is in Greece this week. He says, "The immediate reaction to these developments was for the Greek people to be afraid of what's happening when it became apparent that the negotiations would fail." Hours before the banks closed, "there were long lines at ATMs around the country. A lot of them ran dry, and then everything closed down." That sparked other fears, he says. "There was also widespread fear of basic necessities running out. Gas stations around the country ran out of gas. There was a run, also, on supermarkets, and a lot of shelves were empty."
Pensioners were caught off-guard. Many could not withdraw their pensions from the banks for living expenses. Since they have the thinnest margin of survival, Greece will re-open 1,000 bank branches until the end of the week to cater to pensioners who do not use cash cards for automated teller machines. For everyone else, capital controls apply. "Next week, the banks will open, but still there will be a 60-Euro-per-day limit on what they can withdraw."
Plus, the state treasury is running out of money. "Depending on how the IMF proceeds, it will basically make Greece formally bankrupt, and that will create further problems." Since nobody knows what will actually happen, everything is in limbo. That's problematic for missionaries who get their support from overseas. With the banks closed and no funds moving anywhere, "All the businesses will be affected, all the ministries. St. Luke's [Hospital] will be affected because most transactions between businesses will have to go through special procedures [and] permissions from the Greek Central Bank."
Ioannidis says some businesses put their employees on furlough. Others are closing their doors because "they cannot get supplies from abroad. Foreign suppliers are demanding payment up front. They will not give credit." It's adding to the snowball effect. Incredibly, he adds that "as people have gotten desperate, and as this crisis leaves them–they just don't know what to do–when they are presented with the Gospel, there is a lot better response these days."
As the crisis has unfolded, AMG's ministry arms have felt the weight of need increase. Local churches have opened their doors as relief stations. "We pray that as we continue to help people at the point of their needs, with basic stuff like food, clothing (at St. Luke's hospital, by providing medical care, as the government's health system has continued to collapse), that we will continue to have the opportunity to share the Good News."
The concerns in Greece affect the expatriates there, too. Ask God to give them strength and wisdom for the days ahead.
Because there's support coming from AMG, it has helped keep the ministry moving. However, with such a murky future for Greece, "We want people to pray that many hearts will be touched, that God will take this disaster here and turn it into an opportunity to touch lives, to draw lives to Him, and that they will come to know Him as Savior."

Glenda says:
our God is Sovereign. He is in control of everything in this world. He allows circumstances to happen with His purpose. Everything shall be done according to His will, ways & time. He allows this crisis in Greece for His glory.
obioha val says:
What is happening in Greece now will soon spread over many advance economy in the world. Just get ready
Glenda, I say, AMEN! to everything you said. God IS Sovereign and His great purposes are coming to fulfillment though His wisdom,
power and love. May we glorify Him as we follow Him with complete trust.

I dont know whats up with everyone hating on this place. the people you know in there sound to me like theyre exaggerating and lying about the place. I was here almost 9 years ago at age 16....I was there for 3 months and when I was able to go home I DIDNT WANT TO! I wanted to stay. The staff were like family to me and so were the other girls there. I still talk to a few staff members and mostly every single girl that I was there with. I have them all on facebook as well and we all stay up to date on eachothers life. I was locked up in alot of places as a kid and I would have chosen this place 100x over if i had a choice everytime. 712 will always hold a special place in my heart!
Literally saved my life. Forever grateful.
Program saved my life. Grateful to the staff and YSS for believing in me more than I believed in myself.
My girlfriend is currently attending this place for her mental health. This is a place for drug addicts, not mental health. She was very open to coming thinking she would get help and be better but then she got there and now she's getting punished. I just received a letter from her and I'm in tears. She has to wake up by 6:30 and has to be downstairs by 7:30 or else they get an hour of community service. They can't use public restrooms. Cant use the phone for the first 10 days. They barley let you use the phone ever. The house smells like urine. Her mom said they are basically making it feel like they own her own child! And there's nothing she can do because she singed a contract. They had to pay thousands of dollars to get her in but the guy said they had to pay him that day or there wasn't going to be any rooms available so they did. They go there and there was only 2 girls there.... so they lied. Bacially bottom line is all they want is your money, don't send your child here unless you want to severely punish them. This is a place for EXTREME drug addicts. It's sad how this place was reccomended by a mental health physician.
YES claims to be a dual-diagnosis facility. Please, before you admit your child have that confirmed. My child received NO professional counseling beyond drug counseling. (Drug addiction counseling is not a degree...it is a program a person attends for certifcation.) After 88 days...the staff told me I had to come get my child because they couldn't "handle" him. He was not allowed to graduatethe program and was told he could never come back...not even to their end of summer party. The school teacher at the facility told me he was saddened for my child because he didn't deserve what they were doing. He is a good old who followed the rules but was kicked to the curb like garbage. (He completed 2 full high school classes in 2 weeks.) The problem was is the facility did not have true dual diagnosis treatment and I was lied to about that...they never had him start therapy for PTSD, anxiety disorder, and his MDD. Thankfully, this was 5 years ago and he is now a healthy adult, in therapy on his own, drug free, and a shift superior at a great restaurant. We have to place so fast as a parent to save our children that we don't get the opportunity to really research. I reported these concerns to our insurance company...that helped us find placement, and they began reseaching them for insurance recertification. If you need a placement, don't choose YSS.

Professor Emeritus Collette Tayler held the Chair in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) at the University of Melbourne. She completed a PhD in Education at the University of Western Australia; a Bachelor of Education at Edith Cowan University; a Diploma of Teaching at Mount Lawley College of Advanced Education, Perth; and a Teacher's Certificate (Primary) at Kelvin Grove Teachers College, Brisbane. After graduating as a teacher in 1969, Collette worked in different parts of Australia and overseas, consistently focusing on effective teaching, and young children's learning and development.
Professor Tayler passed away on Friday 1 December 2017, surrounded by family.
Professor Tayler was raised with her four siblings on a farm outside Beaudesert, Queensland. She attended a Brisbane boarding school to complete secondary education and then studied to become a teacher. She married Allan Tayler, an engineer, and they lived in different parts of Australia, raising two children to appreciate the importance of learning, respect for the natural environment and appreciation of human ingenuity.
A love of nature and realisation of the importance of education for life enabled Professor Tayler to develop a range of interests and skills that ensured economic independence, and work experiences in Australia and abroad. Over her lifetime, her respect for Indigenous women and elders grew as she observed their knowledge of environment, community orientation, and generosity toward fellow Australians, despite experiencing significant political and economic disadvantage.
Professor Tayler was a trusted advisor to the Department of Education and Training. Her expertise was sought through several projects, including the recent revision of the Victorian Early Learning and Development Framework and the Education State Early Childhood Reform Plan: Ready for Kinder, Ready for School, Ready for life.
Professor Tayler had a strong interest and commitment toward working with Indigenous communities to promote child and family learning, development and wellbeing. As an early childhood educator and researcher, her work addressed studies involving pre-birth to eight-year-old children and families. She led numerous research and development projects which addressed home, centre and school-based learning environments in culturally and linguistically diverse urban, regional and remote communities.
Some of Professor Tayler's more notable achievements include co-authoring the OECD Thematic Report on Early Childhood Education and Care across 20 countries, Starting Strong II: Early Childhood Education and Care (2006). This report influenced the direction of early childhood education and care reform in Australia from 2007-2016. She also led the E4Kids longitudinal study tracking the learning experiences of 2600 Australian 3 to 8-year-olds as they encountered different home, education and care programs, including school education. This study revealed the important influence of teaching to raise children's achievement outcomes, and the problem that many young children do not encounter high-quality early education programs that make a difference to later achievement and wellbeing.
In 2017, the University of Melbourne awarded Professor Tayler the title of Emeritus Professor in recognition of her career, and particularly during the last 10 years at the University of Melbourne as the Chair of Early Childhood and Care. Professor Taylers research has been disseminated extensively in important international journals and to the profession and will continue to have significant impact.
Through this gift, Professor Tayler wished to further recognise Indigenous Australians, and to support students in endeavours that promote excellent teaching of young Indigenous children, educational leadership and close collaboration with Indigenous leaders and/or communities, It is hoped that the gift can assist eligible students to research and develop educational experiences for young Indigenous children and their families. Advancing reconciliation, building understanding, and promoting the wellbeing of young Indigenous Australians is an overarching idea behind this gift.
The University of Melbourne produced a tribute video for Professor Tayler.

Indian game of sing-gamble
Today's article: a snapshot of Chinook Jargon as used in the life of post-frontier "Shokomish" (Skokomish) Indians.
With this bonus feature:
I'd never consciously noticed slahál / bone game / stick game being called "sing-gamble" before. This uncommon, Puget Sound-associated name — which is potentially Chinuk Wawa — led me to the earlier source of this article, Joseph Costello's book "The Siwash: Their Lives, Legends and Tales".
In turn, Costello may have gotten the phrase from a Chinookless 1894 article "The Sing Gamble of 1895" in the The Oregon Naturalist (pages 78-79 of volume 2, number 6, June 1895; attributed to the San Francisco Examiner), which looks at different tribes of the same region.
Independent confirmation of "sing gamble": I also found another, briefer, Oregon news article from 1894…
This Washington state article from 1894 explicitly says the "sing gamble" goes back several years in the Puyallup Valley —
An 1895 occurrence —
And in 1899 a "singing gambling game" —
So we're looking at a previously unrecognized Pacific Northwest English dialect word, and possibly a previously unknown Chinuk Wawa term.
Now let's get to the article I wanted to show you today, at least to the paragraph that overtly plaes Chinook Jargon on the scene at the event it describes:
Played by Shokomish Tribe, Which Dwells in Vicinity of Puget Sound.
SING AND DANCE WHILE PLAYING
Savages Even Risk Their Wives to WIn and Often Play All Night.
…At a game which I witnessed, thirty points constituted the game, but the limit often runs as high as sixty. As a preliminary, the bets were arranged between the players. Two canoes, a silver watch, two ponies, a dollar and a half in silver, a coat, a shirt, and some other articles were wagered. This consumed a great deal of time and much talking in Chinook and real Siawash "wawa," but was finally settled satisfactorily. Then the game began…
— from the Los Angeles (CA) Herald of August 15, 1897, page 17, columns 4-5

Researches provided by TalentSmart company proved 90% of employees with the best working results know how to deal with tension and how to control emotions. Eight rules of stress control help these people to perform well.
If you'll stop working for a while and compose a list of all that is valuable for you, you are most likely to feel yourself calm. Feeling of thankfulness lowers the level of cortisol (one of stress hormones) on 23%. Additionally, one research of California University proved people who feel thankful every day get a better mood and physical state.
The more you concentrate on possible variants for the situation to develop – the less time you devote to real actions. Successful people don't ask themselves "What, if…". They know the answer not to bring them any satisfaction or calmness.
Positive thoughts distract the mind form stress. In order to get calm, it is required to think about something pleasant. It's an easy deal if your mood is already good. But if you are already in despair, it seems impossible to find something positive. In that case, think and find at least one positive event of the past day. Remember, something good occurs even on bad days.
Modern technologies supply people with communication 24 hours a day, making us all available for round-the-clock job. If you don't separate your life and work, then it is you who provokes constant stress for yourself. To stop thinking about job, try going offline. Start from short periods on weekend mornings, when there is less probability for your colleagues to contact you about job. You'll wonder how much lower will be your stress level, if to learn switching the "job mode" off.
Because of constant use of caffeine, one gets their pulse more frequent, feeling of worry appears, energy level rises suddenly. That is how our survival mechanism works allowing us to react onto a certain threat fast. If there is no bear running after you, your organism doesn't need this stimulation because of stress and anxiety feelings appearing with it.
When you are asleep, your brain gets its reboot and processes the memories of a past day. As a result, you aware with your mind being clear. Lack of sleep increases cortisol level. Add job stress here, and you will get emotional exhaustion. If you want to work fine, sleep well.
Everyone of us does this sometimes, though it can't give us anything useful and has nothing in common with an adequate analysis. The more you think about something negative – the more energy it takes out from you. The best way to stop this irritating process is to switch to something else.
Doing everything by oneself is not effective at all. In order to work calmly and productively, you have to accept your weaknesses, and to ask for help once you need it. This method will not only allow you to complete tasks in a more effective way, but will make your job easier as well.

Informazioni generali e commenti
King and Robber Baron was originally released by Hans im Glück in 2003 (as part of King and Scout, which also featured 5 tiles for Hunters and Gatherers).
In 2008 it was released as part of Count, King and Robber.
5 new land tiles
1 King tile
1 Robber Baron tile
The 5 new land tiles should be mixed with the rest of the tiles. This expansion has been developed for the Carcassonne basic game and can be used with any or all of the other expansions.
The King and The Robber Baron tiles should be set aside at the side of the playing area, as they will be used later.
Posizionare una tessera
When you draw one of the King or Robber land tiles, place it according to the normal rules.
Note: This tile has two separate city segments.
During the course of play they may nevertheless become connected, and then count as only one segment.
Schierare un seguace
When you place one of the King and Robber land tiles, you may place a meeple on it according to the normal rules.
When you complete one or more features (e.g. a monastery, a road etc.) by placing a King and Robber land tile, it is scored according to the normal rules.
Città completata
Il re
As soon as a player completes the first city (in the game), he or she should take the King tile.
If, during the course of play, another player completes a larger city [1] — which means he or she places the final tile of this city — then he or she receives the King. [2]
Strada completata
The Robber Baron
The Robber Baron functions in the same way as the King.
As soon as a player completes the first road, he or she should take the Robber Baron tile. If, during the course of play, another player completes a longer road he or she receives the Robber Baron tile.
Punteggio finale
At the end of the game, the player in possession of the King scores 1 point for every completed city. [3] [4] [5]
At the end of the game, the player in possession of the Robber Baron scores 1 point for every completed road. [6] [7]
At game end, use a lot of dice, place them on the board as completed features are found. Then collect them in, counting as you go. (Thanks to viberunner)
Place unused pieces (or other objects) on the scoreboard to represent the size of the biggest city and the longest road. (Thanks to RationalLemming)
The player holding the King or Robber Baron at the end of the game receives a straight 10 points for each card. This matches the points awarded for trade goods, and avoids having to count the number of completed roads and cities. (Thanks to Joff)
The player holding the King or Robber Baron at the end of the game receives a straight 15 points for each card, or 40 points if both cards are held by one player. (Thanks to PreGy)
The player who completes the first road receives the Robber Baron and keeps it until another player completes a longer road. Until that time, the player receives 1 bonus point every time a road is completed. The same applies for the King and cities. (Thanks to dustyu)

Per la licenza e informazioni riguardo le icone visitare Icone.
↑ The player who completes the biggest city during the game, that is, the city which consists of the most land tiles, receives the King. Thus, the highest scoring city may not always win the king, such as a smaller city earning more points through pennants or the cathedral. The same is true of roads and the Robber Baron.
↑ It is often difficult during the course of play to keep in mind the size of the city or road which is currently the largest. To avoid having to constantly recount, you could mark the size of the largest city and road on the scoring track using a neutral figure for the King and a different one for the Robber Baron.
↑ Castles (from Bridges, Castles and Bazaars) do not count as cities for the purposes of scoring for the King.
↑ The City of Carcassonne (from The Count of Carcassonne) does count as a city when scoring points for the King tile. (11/2013)
↑ The City of Leipzig form (The Markets of Leipzig) should be counted as a city when scoring points for the King tile, following the lead of the City of Carcassonne.
↑ Short roads like those on some CRCR tiles should not be considered for the Robber Baron bonus, since they cannot be occupied or scored.
CRCR tile with short roads in Inns and Cathedrals (old junction version)
CRCR tile with short roads in Inns and Cathedrals (new junction version)
CRCR tile with short roads in The Festival
↑ With the three-way tile in Abbey and the Mayor, the length of the road is the total number of tiles in the road, not simply the longest distance between two ends. The road has three ends which have to be closed, but the result is that it's likely to be bigger.

I just received the press release below about the new iSchool dean. I have been impressed with the school as of late, all the positive forward-looking changes, and have to admit feeling jealous of the students attending today. They are learning some very interesting things! I find some of the new dean's thoughts interesting, especially the idea of establishing an undergraduate program. As many of you know, information studies have for years been at the graduate level. I'm curious to know what he has in mind.
(Toronto, ON) –– The Faculty of Information, University of Toronto, is pleased to welcome Dr. Seamus Ross as its eighth dean, for a seven-year term. He commenced his term on January 1, 2009.
Dr. Ross' areas of research include preserving cultural heritage and scientific digital objects, humanities informatics, and the application of information technology to libraries, archives and museums.
"The Faculty of Information had what I was seeking in my next challenge ― contributing to research and teaching in a highly relevant field given society's reliance on information consumption, a young faculty offering fresh ideas and insights, and graduate students eager to contribute to society," says Dean Ross.
His top priorities include increasing research initiatives and grants, expanding facilities and space, and establishing an undergraduate program. Dr. Ross also hopes to build upon the Faculty's long-standing commitment to students by hiring more faculty members to offer an even broader range of learning opportunities.
Dean Ross is the founding director of the Humanities Advanced Technology and Information Institute (HATII), at the University of Glasgow. Under his leadership, HATII conducted innovative research into the use of information and communication technology (ICT) within the humanities, archives, libraries, and museums, and promoted collaborative IT-based research within the Arts and Humanities. From 2004 until the end of 2008, Dean Ross was also the Associate Director of the United Kingdom's Digital Curation Centre.
This news item is also posted here. See also the appointment notice from the Provost's Office (May 2008).
Anyone who rides the Toronto transit knows that people find ways to close themselves off from everyone else, usually either by wearing headphones to listen to music (if you see me with headphones, I'm more likely listening to business podcasts) and by reading.
Julie Wilson, who works in the publishing industry, likes to observe what people are reading as well as who is reading, and she makes note on her blog Seen Reading. As a writer, she takes some poetic license by writing the person into a little scenario. Her blog is very readable, especially if you are interested in books and people as I am.
I thought this would be interesting to all of us in the book business, whether publishing or library.

The prolific song writer has once again written songs reflective of her life today.
However, the other walls of the box are thermally insulated, reducing convection as well as radiation to the environment. In addition, the box can also have a reflective surface on the inside. This reflects heat lost from the tank back towards the tank.
In winter, the combination of full moon and reflective snow can give additional light. Glacial ice covers or 60% of Svalbard; 30% is barren rock while 10% is vegetated.
It is reflective of a group - particularly myself - who was just writing songs and there was no larger idea behind it. Sometimes some of the group was there, sometimes they weren't.
A good life need not be an especially reflective one; most of the best lives are just lived rather than studied.
The most well-known type of reflective surface is the cool roof. While it is true that cool roofs are mostly associated with white roofs, they come in a variety of colors and materials and are available for both commercial and residential buildings.
George spelt out certain principles which should guide the formulation of a new constitutional preamble. They were reflective of his own personality and approach to legal issues.
Original history is like that of Herodotus and Thucydides, these are almost contemporaneous writings limited to deeds, events and states of society which they had before their very eyes and whose culture they shared. Reflective history is written at some temporal distance from the events or history considered. However, for Hegel, this form of history has a tendency to impose the cultural prejudices and ideas of the historians' era upon the past history over which the historian reflects.
The weather has direct impact on how the game looks - on a rainy day, people are walking around with umbrellas, and on a snowy day, the street is covered with snow. The conditions generated are reflective of the season in which they take place. In addition, records of actual weather conditions of the Yokosuka area during 1986/1987 (the time period in which the game is set) were implemented into the game, giving players the option to experience these weather conditions as opposed to those which are randomly generated.
The intensity of the radar echoes (reflectivity) is proportional to the form (water or ice) of the precipitation and its diameter. In fact, rain has much stronger reflective power than snow but its diameter is much smaller. So the reflectivity of rain coming from melted snow is only slightly higher.
This approach has been discussed through various examples, for example those in interaction design or virtual environments. It is related to other parallel efforts such as those towards reflective design, critical design and critical technical practice.
As companions, they love people and children and do make good pets. Their activity level is generally reflective of the pace of their environment. This breed should not be kept or live outside since they thrive on human contact.
The size of a Solar System object can be deduced from its optical magnitude, its distance, and its albedo. Objects appear bright to Earth observers either because they are large or because they are highly reflective. If their reflectivity (albedo) can be ascertained, then a rough estimate can be made of their size.
Although this is far less efficient than static mapping because of additional rendering steps, it can still be performed at interactive rates. Unfortunately, this technique does not scale well when multiple reflective objects are present. A unique dynamic environment map is usually required for each reflective object.
ACT Government vehicles are allocated codes 2nn-nnn. The plates are red/brown on reflective white with ACT GOVERNMENT below the number. ActewAGL vehicles are issued with plates in the format of YWE-nnn, the 'W' and 'E' standing for Water and Electricity.
This was not simply a preference but, particularly at the beginning of his career, a practical consideration as he juggled writing with work. His subject matter was often focused on blue-collar experience, and was clearly reflective of his own life.
The unique eight-sided shape of the sign allows drivers facing the back of the sign to identify that oncoming drivers have a stop sign and prevent confusion with other traffic signs. It was also chosen so that it could be identified easily at night, since the original signs were not reflective. The National Conference on Street and Highway Safety (NCSHS), a group competing with AASHTO, advocated a smaller pink-on-yellow stop sign.
Taking off from an airfield in the Kola Peninsula, the release plane was accompanied by a Tu-16 observer plane that took air samples and filmed the test. Both aircraft were painted with a special reflective white paint to limit heat damage.
For instance, Vincent Massey went into office without taking an ill-suited wife and managed to overcome the difficulties of the abdicating and dying kings in England. Davies has stated that aspects of the character are more reflective of his father. The initial snowball incident that shapes Boyd's life is more neutral and Davies claimed it was developed out of an inspirational dream.
The film is probably his most reflective work. It is the story of a film crew trying to finish their film while dealing with all of the personal and professional problems that accompany making a movie.

A Flourishing Family Business Since the 19th Century
The Geiler CompanyBy Nate Hendley
View in E-MagazineView Brochure
Founded nearly 150 years ago, The Geiler Company of Cincinnati, Ohio is a woman-owned, family-run business that provides heating, plumbing, and cooling services for residential and commercial clients. Specialties include installing, repairing, and servicing plumbing systems, process piping and refrigeration, pump-related work, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. The company is weathering the COVID-19 lockdown and looking forward to the future.
Many of The Geiler Company's services are self-performed by its unionized workforce, although some duties such as testing, adjusting, and balancing are subcontracted out. "We do some of our own ductwork, but we subcontract out quite a bit of it. We don't have a duct fabrication facility, although we do have a piping fabrication facility. [Piping] insulation, typically we sub that out," says Vice President Reid Geiler.
Among the sectors served are residential, educational, medical, and manufacturing. Thanks to the geographically advantageous location of its hometown, the company can work in three states. "If you look at a map, Cincinnati is in the southwest corner of Ohio. We're right across the river from Kentucky, and we're probably sixteen miles from the Indiana state line," he says.
While frequently hired as a subcontractor, the firm does not like to fence itself in. "We work with construction managers. We work for general contractors. We work directly for owners. We do design-build work. We're familiar with all the project delivery systems," Reid states.
After experiencing strong growth in recent years, The Geiler Company has had to reckon with the onset of COVID-19 and the ensuing economic lockdown. "In the state of Ohio, we were deemed essential services," he says, so, fortunately, work did not grind to a halt.
Activity on the residential side was not greatly affected, other than homeowners now tending to be at home when company employees perform their tasks. To ensure that staff members do not get sick, frontline employees follow standard precautionary measures and use masks, hand sanitizers, and social distancing.
Some big construction jobs have been halted for the time being. The company was supposed to put in new boilers at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and was slated to provide plumbing services at a downtown Cincinnati building being transformed into a boutique hotel but those projects have been called off for now.
Due to the unexpected dip in business, The Geiler Company was forced to lay off thirty staff members at the start of the lockdown; however, most of these employees have been hired back. Despite these initial layoffs, the company has been ahead of the curve in terms of receiving information about the virus and lockdown regulations.
"One of my daughters is an attorney for a very large law firm in Cincinnati, and she was in charge of the COVID response for her firm. We were very fortunate in that we were getting updates [from her]. The other thing is, my mother [Dr. Nancy Blades Geiler] is a retired physician, so she understands all of this," Reid notes.
The Geiler Company relies on its reputation for good work and a strong online presence to attract clients. That reputation goes back to 1885 when it was launched in Cincinnati. "The founder was Charles Geiler. He would be my great-great-uncle. My great-grandfather was his brother, who joined him two years after the company was founded. Eventually, Charles decided to leave the business and gave it to his brother. My grandfather took it over from him then my father took it over," Reid explains.
Plumbing was the focus at first. This meant more than just fixing leaky water pipes, however. The company also worked on steam and hot water systems, infrastructure that was particularly important in the nineteenth century.
Under the guidance of Reid's father, Jack, the company was modernized and expanded. Jack Geiler served as an air force flight engineer during the Second World War, and after his discharge, he applied lessons learned in his military service to the family business. Realizing the importance of good communication, for example, Jack installed two-way radios in company vehicles which was a pioneering move at the time. The company branched into new areas, including process piping, refrigeration, and HVAC work. He also expanded its service department.
For his part, Reid says he "grew up with the business." When he was eight years old, his grandfather paid him a quarter to wash the company's windows on weekends. He worked at the plant during the summer when he was fourteen, sweeping floors, taking out the garbage, and other menial tasks. A few years later, he worked on job sites with company plumbers. He attended college in Kentucky then earned an MBA at Xavier University in Cincinnati, all the while working at the family firm during the daytime.
Being a family-run business with a tradition of passing on ownership to the next generation "helps us to understand the people who are working for us, and that's very important," he says.
He says the plan is to keep the company within the family for the foreseeable future. He ascribes its remarkable longevity to "luck and commitment." According to Reid, his grandfather decided to remain in Cincinnati when the rest of his family moved to San Diego. By staying behind, his grandfather was well-positioned to purchase the company when the opportunity arose in the 1920s.
Reid's mother, Dr. Geiler, has the controlling shares of stock in the company. Thanks to her presence, The Geiler Company is a certified woman-owned business, and having certification as a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) "helps somewhat," in terms of getting contracts "but is not the predominant reason people use us," says Reid. The main reason is "because we're competitive and do quality work and people know we'll be here next week. [We offer] stability."
It also helps that company has a solid reputation for doing excellent work on projects big and small. Over the decades, it has worked on several prominent landmarks in the Cincinnati area, including Riverfront Stadium and the 580 Building of high-rise apartments.
In-the-field work is complemented by an emphasis on customer support and round-the-clock emergency services. This union shop has connections with locals representing plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical equipment service specialists. Having a unionized staff ensures that frontline workers are reliable, reputable, and skilled, and these positive attributes also help bring in business. "We do a lot of renovations because we have a more highly-skilled labor force than a lot of our competitors. A lot of them shy away from that type of work, but we embrace it," states Reid.
The company also benefits from the safety-mindedness of the unions it works with. "The unions are very strong on safety training. In fact, if you're a first-year apprentice, the first thing they teach you is safety," he says. "All of our people have thirty-hour OSHA cards," referring to Occupational Safety and Health Administration training certificates. Employees undertake additional training on boom lifts, scissor lifts, ladders, forklifts, and other equipment while an outside safety consultant imparts further lessons.
The company currently has "about ninety-five," employees, he says. "We've been as high as two hundred but decided that was not conducive to profitability."
As for the future, he has a vision for the company of steady sustainable growth as well as personal goals. "My goals are to be able to transfer a lot of my day-to-day responsibilities to someone else. I want to be able to just be more of an advisor… We're trying to transition to the next generation."
This transition is the biggest issue facing the firm at present. The company is relying in part on family ties to meet this. In addition to his daughter who works as an attorney, his other daughter is an accountant and he has a son-in-law "who is very interested in the business. So, we're trying to figure out the best way [to transition]."
Adding new services is one way the company hopes to achieve its growth goals. It just hired three people from another contractor to do temperature control work, for example. Temperature control work "fits in very well with our HVAC commercial service," Reid states.
At the same time, The Geiler Company also plans to grow by augmenting and enhancing existing services – doing what the company already does, "just doing it better," he adds.
Silver (and Steel) Linings
The construction industry has managed to overcome some massive hurdles in 2020. Despite a range of challenges, from orders to halt work during the shutdown to navigating new health and safety requirements to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the industry kept going. As the year draws to a close, it is time to celebrate some of its notable success stories.

In the starting blocks

Athletes participate in warmup drills on the turf during in-person preseason workouts.
It was Friday the 13th.
What started just like any normal day would soon signal the beginning of an entirely abnormal time.
Distance runners were off on the streets of Kirkwood. Throwers were behind the natatorium, using the outfield of the baseball diamond to practice. The sprinters were gathered in a mob on the side of the track, preparing to run a set of 250m sprints. Long jumpers had finally gotten a turn at the pit, grabbing pieces of chalk and hustling to finish run-throughs and marks. The well-oiled machine that was the 2020 KHS Track and Field team was running just as smoothly as it ever had.
It all stopped when Coach McWoods called practice to an end. She told the team she would see everyone over spring break. That team never came back to the track.
What followed instead was months of Zoom workouts, first while the team waited for the return to school, then during the summer to keep some kind of normalcy. There were discussions of meets in late July, but they did not happen due to safety concerns.
Roberta McWoods, KHS Track and Field head coach, has spent the off-season discussing possible protocols with other track coaches around the country and the St. Louis area. At a recent Zoom meeting, coaches from the St. Louis area compiled a document of proposed regulations and procedures.
"We went through and fine-tuned [the document] and word-smithed it and then we [showed] it to our Athletic Directors (ADs)," McWoods said. "Many of our ADs are not track savvy. They may know basketball, they may know football, some of them know track but they had a ton of questions."
What's weird is just being out there because I haven't dealt with that in a while, being surrounded by all these people."
— Krista Steele
The protocols discussed at these meetings have not yet been approved by St. Louis County. Some of the proposed guidelines include limited teams allowed at meets, masks required when athletes are not running and wiping down equipment between usages.
"It's going to be a big job, but we're going to do whatever we're told to do to keep our student athletes safe," McWoods said. "We're going to give it our best shot and we're just glad to have a season. We will do everything we can."
Krista Steele, senior, has been participating in KHS track camps since kindergarten. She is now a captain and participating in her last year of track at KHS. Steele was disappointed with the cancellation of the 2020 season, especially after jumping a personal record during the first week of practice.
"[Being a captain] is kind of strange, but at the same time, I feel like, throughout my three years of previous track, I've always been encouraging to everyone," Steele said. "It's not much different. I just have more of a voice now."
Steele mentioned the importance of working out during the offseason, something many track athletes do. David Gill, junior, worked on his skills with the javelin with other throwers in preparation for this season.
"I'm looking forward to being able to throw again and get coaching and competing," Gill said. "Even though we're probably not going to be able to compete much this year, competing is going to be a highlight for me."
According to Steele, it is strange to be back on the track. KHS track athletes had two weeks of practice before the 2020 season ended in-person.
"What's weird is just being out there because I haven't dealt with that in a while, being surrounded by all these people," Steele said. "It's strange because of what the reality of our world is right now."
Despite the restrictions, McWoods is confident that a track season is possible. Practices begin March 1, so the final decisions on safety protocols must be made before practices can officially begin.
"The coaches are very energetic and very enthused and want to have a normal season," McWoods said. "But we know that it won't be normal. Things won't be normal for a long time."

Exploits are methods or tools for abusing software bugs for nefarious purposes.
They're very popular with cybercriminals because, with the right exploits, they don't have to persuade you to download and install software, open attachments or enable macros, they can just bypass your security protections and tell your computer to run their malicious code.
Exploits take on many different forms. In October 2017, criminals started exploiting a 24 year old feature of Microsoft Office that could be used to run malicious code embedded in emails, calendar invites and Office documents.
Earlier in the same year we saw a brief revival of the network worm as criminals used the EternalBlue exploit, which exploits a bug in Microsoft's SMB (Sever Message Block) protocol, to spread malware around the world in day, during two separate global outbreaks: WannaCry and NotPetya.
Even though exploits can be very complex and difficult to develop, you don't have to be a skilled hacker to get your hands on one.
There is lucrative trade in exploits and, thanks to Crimeware as a Service, cybercriminals can buy the hardware and software they need, including kits that package up exploits in a way that's easy to use.
When we have a client that wants a zero-day vulnerability for whatever reason, we don't ask, and in fact they wouldn't tell us. Researchers find them, they sell them to us for X, we sell them to clients for Y and make the margin in between.
While it is becoming easier and easier for cybercriminals to build new malware variations quickly, there is some good news: by using the right exploit mitigation techniques we can eliminate entire classes of vulnerabilities and break the exploits that depend on them.
You can read more about this in our Exploits Explained paper.
Looking at the exploit industry as a whole, the paper details how the top techniques, like "heap spray," which makes vulnerabilities easier to exploit, and "stack pivoting," which bypasses data protections, work.
And, to arm you against these attacks, the paper also takes an in-depth look at the components of exploit techniques and how Intercept X can stop them from being used.
