Remembering the Milkman
Working as a milkman was often thankless, but those old enough to remember the days of milk delivery often look back with nostalgia on that period of time when life operated at a slower pace. Folks would begin the day by opening their doors to retrieve bottles of milk, fresh from the farm, just waiting to be enjoyed by adults and children alike.

Sweet Recollections
Maryland resident Judy Bach remembers hearing the clinking bottles early in the morning as the milkman arrived at her house and even recalls a certain jingle after all these years, "If you don't own a cow, call Cloverland now, North 9222," she said with a chuckle.
One thing that stands out in Dennis Royer's mind is a little mischief he engaged in back in those days. The Perry county resident said, "My mother always left a note in the milk box on our front porch with our order. Once I got into trouble by imitating her printing and adding one quart of chocolate milk to the bottom of the note." He also recalls the bottles being used for something other than milk. "The opening of those returnable bottles was about one- inch wide. At kiddie birthday parties we used to play a game to see who could drop the most old-style clothes pins into those bottles by holding the clothes pins at waist height."
Pat Fallon, who currently lives in Catasauqua, said, "My grandmother lived in an old, but well-maintained, four-floor apartment building in Scranton. There were two apartments per floor, with a common stairwell in the center. I can still remember hearing the clinking of the glass milk bottles as the milkman went up and down the stairs leaving cold bottles of milk on the back porches. Everyone used to have a little milk box by their back door. The bottles of milk had a small round cardboard lid that fit snug just down in the top of the glass bottle; you pulled up with a little tab in the center to pry it open. The bottles were smooth, curved glass, but they were easy to handle and pour as they were not that big in diameter and fit in your hand. I think they had an emblem engraved in them instead of a paper label."

Starting a Successful Milk Delivery Business
According to most accounts, milk delivery began in the 1800s, when milkmen traveled by wagon, with cans full of the product, which they ladled out with dippers into customer-provided containers.
Carlisle resident Charles Kruger, now in his mid-80s, tells how milk not only nourished his family physically, but provided for them financially as well. "Sometime around 1916 or 1917, my mother made a deal with this farmer to bring his milk in and she would peddle it. Those days they used buckets, crocks, jars--whatever customers brought to hold the milk. Kids would pull the express wagon with the can of milk on it.
My dad was a railroader and he got hurt, so he had to quit and do other things. During WWI, they conscripted the railroad guys to haul equipment to the seaports, so dad returned to the railroad. At that time, my mom sold milk off her wagon. When the war was over, all the railroad guys got their jobs back, so my dad was bumped. He said, 'mother, how we gonna make a living?' She said, 'well, this milk business isn't so bad,' so dad bought a horse and wagon and started to peddle milk," he said.
Kruger said his father would visit a local farm after the twice-a-day milking. "He started to cool the milk in an ice bath and stirred it until it was cold. What he was doing was stopping the growth of bacteria because most people's milk was sour in the morning as it curdled overnight," he said, adding that his dad's milk became popular because it would last several days. "They thought we were putting something in it," he said with a laugh.
Before homogenization, customers would have to shake the milk to distribute the cream evenly. Kids, in particular, used to enjoy the cream that would rise to the top. "In the winter, when the milk froze, it would pop up the cap and the first kid out the door would get the cream ball," said Kruger.
The Plights of the Profession
As milk delivery became increasingly popular, the milkmen of yore contended with problems unique to the profession. An article in the San Francisco Chronicle, dated September 6, 1902, said, "He comes and goes like a shadow in the early dawn, communicated with, if at all, by means of notes, which he has to strike a match to read." It continues with tales of beleaguered milkmen who were vexed with a litany of issues. Inspectors would halt them on the street and subject their milk to a lactometer test, forcing those who failed to dump their product out on the streets, or into the marshes. Thieving competitors, who would run short on their own routes, might swipe a few bottles from another's porch delivery.
The article suggests there was a time when milkmen held keys to residences. "He is baffled by bunches of keys for which he must select one for every door along his route."
Until delivery trucks arrived on the scene, another challenge milkmen faced was training the horses where to stop along the route. "We had horses until 1939 on two routes," said Kruger. "They were later replaced by a specialized Diamond T Pack-Age Car, which was open on both sides. Often the helpers on the trucks would run out both sides at the same time."
Other problems revolved around the milk bottles themselves--from the lazy customer who refused to wash them, to the careless ones who forgot to return them and the unscrupulous scofflaws who had other ideas for their use.
Milkmen often returned from their routes short many a bottle. One reported catching a customer preserving fruits in his bottles and sharing a laugh with her about it, only to return later with helpers to recapture the stolen bottles. Needless to say, he wasn't invited back. Many a milkman may have welcomed the advent of "returnable bottles," which gave customers a financial incentive to "remember" to relinquish them.
The onset of the war brought even further challenges to the milkmen. "They were trying to conserve fuel, so delivery was reduced to every other day," said Kruger. "Our competitors found this out and used it against us, delivering on the off days, so instead of a family ordering four quarts from us, they'd order two from us and two from the other guy," he said.
Before insulated porch boxes were used, sunlight would oxidize milk left on the doorstep. Kruger tells the story of how a local glass company made an error on a large lot of amber bottles. "We got a heck of a deal on a bunch of them," he said, adding that they just labeled over the problem. The dark protected the milk from the sunlight, providing his company with a competitive edge. "We marketed it as more wholesome," said Kruger.

The End of an Era?
As time passed, so did the need for the milkman. Refrigerators reduced the need for frequent deliveries and many families purchased second cars so any spouse could drive to the supermarket whenever the need arose. Soon dairies like Kruger's began to merge in order to stay in business.
The age of milk delivery reached its nadir near the 1970's, although some businesses continued the practice years later.
Today milk delivery is more of a novelty, although a search on the internet proves that it's still taking place. Here in Central Pennsylvania, a business called Mr. Milkman touts home delivery in Cumberland, Dauphin, York and surrounding counties. Does this prove that what's old is new again and that there's a modern market for the days of old? Only time will tell, but for now there will always be those who long for the good old days when the cream would always rise to the top.

The puzzling St. Paul sandwich


On April 16, AmCham members were invited for a breakfast meeting at the Ambassador's residence to meet with the OSAC HQ representative – Joseph Benyam. The meeting focused on the goals of OSAC, public-private partnership when it comes to security matters in the region, but also on reviving the OSAC Tallinn council with the help of the business community and AmCham members.
The Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) was created in 1985 under the Federal Advisory Committee Act to promote security cooperation between American private sector interests worldwide and the U.S. Department of State. OSAC Country Councils replicate the OSAC public/private partnership at 143 overseas locations bringing together the American embassy or consulate with the private sector regional manager to share information about security issues of mutual concern in the region. These councils encourage managers of U.S. organizations to organize themselves to cope with security-related problems by pooling their resources. Key representatives of these councils and embassy security officers, as well as other post officials, develop working relationships to create an exchange of information through which pertinent security information is shared in a timely fashion.
OSAC Country Council Tallinn was launched in 2007 and at some point was the most active country council in Europe. Today, the idea is to revive the council and re-launch regular meetings.Daria and Omar will work on a follow up event in the fall to address the topic of Cyber Security and Internet Safety in everyday life. Stay tuned!
With a big Thank You to Elizabeth Horst, Charge d'Affaires, Chris Hasegawa and Omar J. Facuse, RSO of the US Embassy Tallinn!

Varanasi is an important center for weaving silk sarees. Of the many styles of brocades used for adorning these sarees, Amru is the famous one. It is done using silk threads.
The Amru style employs an overall pattern of buds, called �buttis�. The borders and the pallu (hanging end of the saree) are the most decorated portions of the saree. The pallu contains flowering bushes and flowering mango patterns. Red, orange and yellow are the usual shades that are employed.


No one ever said the Connecticut shore was lovely this time of year, but a Russian spy ship has decided to come for a visit, anyway. The Victor Leonov is floating off the coast about 30 miles from the U.S. Naval Submarine Base near New London, after making a journey up the Atlantic coast from Havana, Cuba. The ship was hanging out near Delaware earlier Wednesday, and it has stayed well within international waters the entire time.
Russia made similar patrol exercises under President Obama in 2014 and 2015, but this is the farthest north a spy ship has ever patrolled, a Pentagon official told CNN. And, as they say, timing is everything.

Q: Calculate Number of Days under Contract from List of Contracts I have two sheets in an Excel workbook. The first is a list of contracts for workers A, B, and C and the contracted revenue rate per day.

In the other sheet, I would like to calculate the number of days each worker (A, B, C, etc.) (ignore the Revenues in the image) is under contract during the given period. What formula would I use to do this?

A: Add columns with the period date on the right of your first table. Then under each period's end date, insert the following formula:
=MAX(IF($C3>G$2,G$2,$C3)-IF($B3<F$2,F$2,$B3),0)

And populate to fill the table

Then for your second table, use the following formula:
=SUMIF($A3:$A6,$A13,G3:G6)

If you want to have the number of days times the rate calculated, use the following formula in the second table:
=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$3:$A$6=$A13),$D$3:$D$6,G$3:G$6)

Why do Vetwest recommend microchips?
What happens after your pet is microchipped?
What age do you need to microchip your pet?
Do you need to microchip your pet if they are unwell?
Collars can fall off or be removed and details on pet tags can fade or become outdated. Inserting a microchip means your pet can be easily identified by a ranger, animal shelter or veterinarian regardless of the situation. Once identified, you can be contacted immediately and informed of the location of your pet.
In Western Australia, it is compulsory for all cats over the age of 6 months of age to be microchipped and as of 1st November 2015 all dogs that have reached the age of 3 months must be microchipped.
Our Vetwest healthcare team can insert a Microchip during a normal veterinary consultation. The chip itself is very small – about the size of a grain of rice – and is implanted just under the skin, between the shoulder blades at the back of your pet's neck.
Each chip has a unique number that is detected using a microchip scanner. The microchip number along with your pet's details are submitted to a database registry. Should your pet stray or become lost, vets, animal shelters and local councils can scan your pet for a microchip and contact you via the database.
All cats must be sterilised, microchipped and registered by the time they reach 6 months of age.
Section 21 of the Dog Act 1976 requires dogs to be microchipped when they are 3 months of age, and being registered for the first time or when a change of ownership occurs. As of 1 November 2015, all dogs that have reached 3 months of age must be microchipped regardless of registration status.
If we believe microchipping is likely to adversely affect the health and welfare of your pet, Vetwest veterinarians may issue you with an Exemption certificate that you take to your local government.
When you register your dog, you will be required to provide proof that the dog has been microchipped, by providing the local government with the microchip number.
If you purchase a cat, it must be sterilised and microchipped by the seller. If your new cat is considered by the vet to be too small to be sterilised, the seller must provide you with a sterilisation voucher.
By the time your cat is six months old, you need to provide evidence of microchipping and sterilisation to your local government to get it registered. Your local government will then issue you a registration tag which you must make sure your cat wears whenever it is in a public place.
If you sell or give your cat away, it is your responsibility to ensure the cat is microchipped and sterilised prior to sale or being given away. You also need to notify, in writing, both the local government being where the cat is registered, and the microchip database company of the new owner's details.
If your pet is ever lost, a ranger, animal shelter or veterinarian anywhere in Australia can scan your pet for the microchip and access your contact details. The only way that you may not become reunited with your lost pet is if you don't contact the register when you have changed your address or contact phone numbers.
Pets with a microchip implanted in NSW are required by law to be registered on a state based register known as the NSW "Companion Animal Registry" (see www.petregistry.nsw.gov.au). This state based database is not linked to any national register. It is not compulsory in NSW to register a pet's microchip on a national registry. Therefore if you have recently moved from NSW to our state we strongly recommend checking www.petaddress.com.au to see if your pet has been registered on a national database. If your pet's details are not recognised, please contact a national register such as Central Animal Records (details above) and complete a registration form. A fee of approximately $10 will apply. If you do not know your pet's microchip number and visit our practice please contact us for more information.
Microchips are implanted by veterinary practices and can be done safely without an anesthetic. Just call us today to make an appointment for your pet's microchip implant and registration.

Revamped F1 Show to feature studio audience
February 21, 2014 March 2, 2014 David Nelson9 Comments
The F1 Show is to be revamped for the 2014 Formula One season and will feature a studio audience, it has been confirmed by Sky Sports today. The past two years have not featured a studio audience, and have been presented by Ted Kravitz alongside Georgie Thompson and Natalie Pinkham respectively. Sky did deviate from this last Summer with a 90 minute special taped the day before, which 62 percent of you wanted to see happen again. The revamp will feature a completely new studio, presumably you can expect one similar to that last Summer. Audience figures for the past two years have been generally low, rarely hitting 100,000 viewers per week.
My first thought is that I hope that the Midweek Report will move into The F1 Show's old studio, possibly a scaled down version, personally I'd be very happy if that happened and extended to an hour, basically taking its place in terms of format. With a studio audience it means that the entire format of the show could potentially change depending on how involved the audience are going to get. Sky have an audience for Saturday Night Football, and I'll be honest, they clap when they want to clap and be silent when they're meant to, and it doesn't add to the show (unlike say, Top Gear). Audience members do ask questions after the football game finishes on Saturday nights, but these are pre-prepared and generally are cookie cutter in nature.
One fear is that the show could become too lightweight, but this hinges on their guests. If you had Christian Horner and another Formula 1 boss on the show, and the audience was able to throw questions at them (yes, double points, I'm looking at you) then it could be great. But if we have more 'samey' guests who don't give us much, I'm not sure it will work too well. Let's have people on the show who fans want to get up close to and ask key questions to. The guests I think will be the deal breaker here. For reference, these are the studio based dates for The F1 Show this season:
– March x2 (7th and 21st)
– April x2 (11th and 25th)
– May x3 (2nd, 16th and 30th)
– June x2 (13th and 27th)
– July x1 (11th)
– August x4 (1st, 8th, 15th and 29th)
– September x2 (12th and 26th)
– October x2 (17th and 24th)
– November x2 (14th and 28th)
Note that those are based on my calculations, quite possible of course that Sky may end up with a mix of audience vs no audience shows, whilst two of those August shows will be a mid-season review and a Journalist's review I imagine. What is unclear from the article is whether the show will be live, reference is made to a live studio audience, but then mentions that the programmes will be recorded later on, but I imagine we will get the answer sooner rather than later.
Update on February 27th – Gaz in the comments says that he will be in the audience for the first episode, noting that the filming is taking place between 20:00 and 21:00, meaning that the show will indeed be live.
Update on March 1st – Sky say that Natalie Pinkham and Simon Lazenby are presenting Friday's show, I strongly hope that is just for the launch and not for every live studio show going forward.
Update on March 2nd – Ted Kravitz noted in the final testing Notebook that the presenting duties for The F1 Show will be shared around in 2014 between himself, Pinkham, Lazenby and David Croft. I suspect it will be Pinkham and Kravitz for the paddock shows, with it being a mix of Pinkham/Kravitz, Pinkham/Croft and Pinkham/Lazenby for the studio shows.

Dumbing down to try and stem the exodus of viewers.
Oh god, that is going to be even more painful to watch. The only time the F1 show was good was when they did a review of the previous race. With Midweek report the F1 show is just nullified in my opinion.
polblagger says:
Oh dear, another reason not to watch this.
At least this time some real fans might get into the audience rather than screened sycophants and Sky staff.
Let's hope there's a different director so we don't feel like a little person watching a street performer.
Honestly, of all the ways to spend budget left over after their jollys, this should not be it.
Golly says:
Your comment that viewing figures for this type of midweek show rarely tops 100,000 again clearly illustrates the effect pay TV is having on our sport. Not sure how F1 ranks in UK sports interest/popularity, but with a population of around 62 million, these figures are surely appalling.
F1 used to be the UK's most viewed TV sport, (when viewers to broadcasts are taken into account). It had the highest reach of any sport, only equaled by Wimbledon Tennis, and that had nearly twice as many broadcast slots compared to F1
However since the Sky deal, unique viewing of F1 in the UK has dropped by over 22%.
Sky barely get over 500k for their races, and that's even when they manipulate the figures, one of the reasons teams are in sponsorship trouble, lowering their rate cards due to lower AVE returns for sponsors.
Gaz says:
I've been invited to take part on the 7th March. I don't have much info at present. The filming is taking place between 8pm and 9pm on the Friday evening.
The F1 Broadcasting Blog says:
Thanks Gaz, that's actually the news I was looking for, as it means that the show is airing live.
Gaz I'm intrigued, how did you get your invite?
The entire audience at the experiment show seemed to be the SkyF1 fan club and Sky staff, friends and family. Certainly no one that might not wee themselves just to be in the same room as Lazenby.
The experiment show was some of the worst professional live studio television I've ever seen.
The New F1 Show is terrible. An audience standing around like idiots. I think the show could do with some more glamour with the presenters also and keep Natalie to present at the race weekends. Please go to the original format and stop talking about Lewis Hamilton every 2 seconds. It is now a very repetitive show. Some of the comments to fill the gaps are truly awful. BBC is much better at the moment.

New business plan for Sunderland and South Tyneside Metro extension unveiled
South Shields FC release 3D flyover showing how stadium will look after ambitious project is complete
Bosses at South Shields FC have released a 3D fly-through of how the club's stadium will look after an ambitious project is complete.
By Ross Robertson
Monday, 19th July 2021, 5:01 pm
Plans to redevelop part of the 1st Cloud Arena, off Shaftesbury Avenue, were approved by South Tyneside Council in May 2021.
The plans included two new supporter stands with a total of 1,402 seats to replace a number of existing covered supporter standing and seating areas.
South Shields FC (SSFC) announced at the weekend that delays meant the project would not be ready for the start of the league 2021-22 season on August 14 – but adding it would be 'worth the wait'.
How the new stands will look
Now the club has released a CGI tour of how the new stadium will look from all angles, including a look indoors at the bars, shop and other spaces inside.
A spokesman for the club said: "We are delighted to provide supporters with a greater insight into the new main stand at 1st Cloud Arena after a virtual flythrough of the facility was released.
"Construction work on the stand, which will seat more than 900 spectators, began in June.
"Earlier this week we explained that the project had been hit by some significant challenges and unforeseen issues, and would unfortunately not be operational for the start of the league season on August 14.
How the new stands at South Shields FC will look
"However, we hope the release of this video will whet your appetite further and provide an even more significant indication of just how much we have to look forward to when the stand is completed.
"This project is a transformative next step for us which will benefit our club greatly for what we hope will be many years to come.
"It simply would not be possible without your support and we would like to thank every Mariner who has played a part in our progression to this stage of our development. We have an exciting journey ahead."
The club said that work on the project has been delayed by 'significant challenges and unforeseen issues' during the coronavirus pandemic.
Fans who have bought a season ticket in the new stand will be contacted by the club and offered a temporary solution while the work is being completed.

Southern Regional is an amazing school that I am very fortunate to be attending. The academics are superb and we are learning at a very high level. I'm grateful for the opportunities they have given me and the friends I have made. However, I am a part of the theatre company which I love and adore. They have helped me grow as a person and a performer, but I wish we received more acknowledgement from those who are at a higher level at our school. For example, our musicals are rarely NOT sold out, however, we are still a school that is tied to theatre censorship. Theatre is a form of expression and some of the most difficult pieces to perform are most definitely the ones rated higher than G. We should be challenged with theatre that is more difficult and I feel we should receive more credit than we do. My school is very focused on sports, although, certain sports that are viewed on a high pedestal do not win as often as they should considering the love and honor they are given.
Southern Regional is by far the best high school in Ocean County. Southern has excellent academics, with teachers and staff who try their best to help you succeed. The school has a top athletic program that rivals top programs in New Jersey. And not to mention the safety of this school. Southern has multiple security officers on at all times and a Full-Time Stafford Township officer employed as well.

The Future Of DCEU Actors Ezra Miller & Ray Fisher In Serious Doubt
Marcos Melendez Posted On March 22, 2019
The future may be right for DC Films, but they are not out of troubled waters yet. The past few months have not been kind for a few of actors attached to DC superhero roles.
Not only has Superman himself Henry Cavill completely fallen out of talks with Warner Bros., but we've also lost Ben Affleck as Batman for future installments. It was known for some time that the news was coming yet it still left fans disgruntled at the idea of a major recasting in the DCEU. Now the latest targets are Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher, who portrayed the Flash and Cyborg respectively in 2017's Justice League. Although the two fan-favorite characters may have shined in the subpar film, the importance of getting these characters their own franchises has vastly dwindled. So let's breakdown what is occurring and explain why more changes are likely headed DC's way.
First, let's begin with the Scarlet Speedster.
Warner Bros. has been taking their sweet time developing The Flash with directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. The film was looking to begin production at the start of this year, but something happened: Ezra Miller's vision of the Flash movie began to clash with Daley and Goldstein's.
Ezra Miller has now taken the initiative to write his own script for The Flash, alongside comic mastermind Grant Morrison, in a last ditch effort to keep the role. Miller has been having deep creative differences with directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein in terms of what direction to take the movie. Miller has a darker vision for his Flash compared to the comedic route the directors have gone with. The latter's script has very much pleased WB the most thus far. There are whispers that Miller's script will be in the vain of Flashpoint, but not a direct adaptation. He wants a dark, epic film while the studio is perfectly fine with a "normal" solo film featuring Barry Allen.
READ: Ezra Miller Is Writing His Own Script For 'The Flash'
So what does that mean? Well, it seems like Ezra Miller will be getting the boot if he doesn't get with the program. Although it's obvious Warner Bros. respects him enough to let him write a script, but they have no problem in recasting if it means getting the most competent film possible. You see, Miller's five-year contract as the DC character ends this May and there won't be much of anything officially tying him to the character if not renewed. Letting him off the chain would not be the most difficult decision on the studio's end. Besides, they already gave him the Fantastic Beasts franchise anyways, no harm no foul.
With that being said, Ezra Miller is a die-hard fan of the character and him going out of his way to try to stay in the role by writing a script himself is bold, to say the least. Even with Morrison on his side, the task of changing WB's mind and having them replace the directors is a tough sell, to say the least. After all, Daley and Goldstein have a film brewing at Universal so they will be fine no matter what happens. But when push comes to shove unless Ezra Miller decides to stay on no matter what, he's going to be gone in a Flash…
Up next: Ray Fisher's Cyborg.
Although there is still hope with The Flash, the same can not be said for Ray Fisher's Cyborg. His holding contract (apparently) also ends this May and at that point, both parties would have to renew the deal. However, Warner Bros. has absolutely no interest in making a Cyborg film in the near future and there's no reason to keep Fisher waiting. He has proclaimed numerous times his devotion to the character so this is not on him. Perhaps at some point, the studio regains interest in the character and calls him up years from now. If not, you can catch the Cyborg on DC Universe's Doom Patrol series portrayed by Joivan Wade.
As said before, the future is indeed bright for the DC film universe. Aquaman was a huge hit, and Shazam! is already looking to make a splash with critics and audience alike. It's just a matter of time before everything is squared away, but until then keep close attention as we deliver updates on the most recent developments.
Do you think DC will go ahead and let the two superhero actors go? Let us know in the comments below!
It was recently reported a November production was possible for The Flash.

Coached Hard: The Story of Toronto Raptors' Asst. Coach, Patrick Mutombo
Rashawn Fulcher
If you Google "Patrick Mutombo" you'll easily come across his professional accolades and athletic accomplishments: NBA-D league player, an overseas professional phenom in Italy & Greece, All-American college basketball player, and an assistant coach for the Austin Spurs (NBA D-League). You may even read about his newest move, joining the Toronto Raptors, as an assistant coach, during the 2016/17 NBA season. However, what the news stories may not cover is his backstory. What it actually took to get him where he is today and the intrinsic values, beliefs, and life lessons that helped him along the way.
Mutombo, not to be confused with his cousin Dikembe Mutombo, was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1980. His father worked three jobs and provided steadily for the family and in Patrick's words, "we weren't rich, but we would eat every day." As the only son in a house of five daughters, Patrick was raised to care for his family in his father's absence. His responsibility as a protector and provider was so deeply ingrained that when his father left, ahead of the family, to work and study in Belgium, Patrick immediately took up the mantle of "man of the house." However, at ten years of age, there was no way he could have known what to expect from what should have been a temporary separation.
The 1990s welcomed some of the most violent and chaotic times in the history of the Congo. As a matter of fact, if you follow the news as of late, then you know that the biggest fear many officials have is that the ethnic violence occurring in
the southeastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo may reach the levels of the 90s where 5 million people were killed between 1996 and 2003 alone. The political unrest in the Congo during the 90's affected everyone everywhere, and governments and companies soon stopped honoring their agreements. As a result, Mutombo's father's pay at home and abroad was cut overnight, and with no income, his father had to make due and figure out how to survive in Belgium. Meanwhile, Patrick had to make due and figure out how to take care of the family back home. He was 10.
From eating daily to collecting pig manure to till the garden, Patrick can remember boiling the meager vegetables his garden produced and then splitting the gains to feed his sisters and mother – the oldest always ate less so that the youngest could get their fill. He recalls spending his days at the market trying to sell the bread that his mother made and then hopefully spending everything to bring home the family's one meal of the day. As a former professional basketball player and current NBA coach, he now sits in awe and recounts stories of he and sisters getting kicked out of school for failure to pay tuition. He is humbled when describing a friend's dad paying their tuition after finding out about their situation, and he speaks in amazement when talking about running through that same school looking for his sisters when soldiers showed up and began shooting in the air. "There was no 'calmly walk out of your classroom and go here,'" he states as if just now realizing the weight of that situation and the increasing violence that would define an era.
Three years later, the family was finally able to escape and join their father in Belgium. It was here that a gangly pre-teen, growing up in the ghettos of Brussels, first learned to play basketball. It was here that a spark was lit and dreams of playing in places like America took shape. It was also here where his coach said, "You move like a spider, and you're bony. They will eat you alive in America!"
If there was one thing that Mutombo's adolescence taught him it was perseverance. He says that his time in the Congo "forged my personality, taught me to lead, to be selfless and to sacrifice." As such, one coach's disregard of his dreams was not going to stop him. He began practicing, getting bigger, getting better and reaching out to people who could help him. At 18, he was a force on the court and caught the eye of recruiters who invited him to play in college-level exhibitions in the U.S. These opportunities brought, even more, opportunities, and at 19 years old he accepted a full ride scholarship to Metro State College in Denver, Colorado.
Though he was mocked for his inability to speak the language or understand the culture, he found a home amongst teammates and used his time in Colorado to further his dreams. Eventually, he would go on to play in Italy and Greece and then make his way back to Colorado to join the Nuggets coaching staff. He has built a comfortable life for his family, but when asked: "If it weren't for basketball where would you be?" His voice lowers, and he can only say, "I don't know. I don't know." Breaking from his reverie he continues, "but I'm thankful for the gift that was given. Basketball is a tool that God gave me to open many doors. It gave me a voice in the world."
Today, Patrick Mutombo coaches a lot of players and in his words, he "sees a lot of society reflected in the players we [the staff] coach." But he knows that everything comes down to drive, purpose, and hunger. "Regardless of your background, if you realize that you are here for a reason and the gifts you've been given are for a purpose, then you become focused." He says that there are still opportunities to teach and forge character in players without duplicating how he acquired it and that the key is to coach hard and drive home one thing: "I'm on earth to do something, and I have a purpose."

Transcript: Deepak L. Bhatt, MD, MPH: Let's move on to discuss and provide an overview of peripheral artery disease [PAD]. I'll start with you, Marc. If you would, give us a quick recap of the epidemiology of peripheral artery disease: in the United States, worldwide, and whatever else you want to cover.
Marc P. Bonaca, MD, MPH: Thank you, Deepak. The term peripheral artery disease is interpreted differently in different places. The most general concept is atherosclerosis outside the coronary arteries, whether it's in the carotids, the lower extremities, and so on. Many of us in practice think of it as lower-extremity atherosclerosis, which afflicts more than 200 million people worldwide. It's important from an epidemiology perspective to recognize that in general, it's underdiagnosed. The manifestations are atypical in a lot of patients. They may walk slower or have some leg symptoms, but it's not always recognized as vascular disease. It's much more prevalent than we understand, just based on diagnosis codes. It's associated with all the problems that atherosclerosis brings, such as heart attacks or stroke. Importantly, very specific to this population are lower-extremity complications, such as functional limitation, critical limb ischemia, amputation, and acute limb ischemia. It's an important problem. It's a growing problem as the population ages and we see more obesity and diabetes.
Deepak L. Bhatt, MD, MPH: Mike, why is it that cardiologists don't really pay a lot of attention to peripheral artery disease? Some of them do, obviously. But as a general principle, it doesn't seem as though it's front and center. There are a lot of publications showing that PAD is bad, with high rates of ischemic events, cardiovascular events, and mortality. But in general, I don't know if cardiologists still pay a lot of attention to it. Why is that?
C. Michael Gibson, MD, MS: I don't know, Deepak. It's bad. If you can't walk around and take care of yourself, this can be a very devastating disease. The prognosis, as we're going to get into, is horrible for people with multiple, impactful diseases. This is why we're doing the program, in part. Cardiologists need to take much more care and pay much more attention to PAD than they're doing currently. It's sad.
Deepak L. Bhatt, MD, MPH: I agree. Matt, it seems that repeat revascularization is much more frequent in patients with PAD than patients with coronary artery disease. What is the reason for that?
Matthew T. Menard, MD: That's a great question, Deepak. Anyone who intervenes in the lower-extremity disease, at some point in their careers, has thought that, "Oh, the fibula vessels are a mirror image of the heart, and we can learn a lot from our cardiology colleagues and cardiac surgeons." It doesn't really seem to translate all that well, and it's really divided into 3 separate anatomic segments that all behave differently. The SFA, the superficial femoral artery, has its own unique challenges. It's the center point of a lot of torque and angulation and compression when you move and bend the knee. The popliteal artery is a particularly tough segment, and the biggest challenge we face is probably how to keep things open across that segment, at least for endovascular therapy. And then, the tibial arteries are their own unique anatomic bed and have their own challenges.
We're also seeing more challenges with diabetic patients that we didn't see 20 years ago, when very frequently the pedal vessels were spared. Now it's very common to see really diffuse, severe disease across the ankle into the foot. The options are different. As you said, it is a very challenging territory, and the things that we do don't work as well as we'd like them to. We're faced with a lot of reinterventions, both from the surgical side of things and the vascular side of things.
Deepak L. Bhatt, MD, MPH: Absolutely. One of the things we learned from vascular surgeons is that the patients with PAD often have a lot of coronary artery disease, if you think back to the classic studies such as those done by a vascular surgeon, Dr Norman Hertzer, from the Cleveland Clinic. He'd done that initial work showing that 90% or more of patients undergoing vascular surgery had concomitant coronary disease, which at the time was a really striking finding. I actually had the privilege of scrubbing in with Dr Hertzer a number of times when he was active as a surgeon. Matt, have you ever met Dr Hertzer?
Matthew T. Menard, MD: I met him once. I don't know him well, but he's certainly a legend.
Deepak L. Bhatt, MD, MPH: He used to smoke quite a bit too. That's neither here nor there. But there's a lot we can learn from vascular surgeons, either as vascular medicine or cardiology specialists.

Q: Theming react-dates not working I am using react-dates and I want to change the colours of the SingleDatePicker using the theming. I have read the docs (https://github.com/airbnb/react-dates#theming) but my implementation is not working. Here is my component:
import React, { Component } from "react";
import ThemedStyleSheet from "react-with-styles/lib/ThemedStyleSheet";
import DefaultTheme from "react-dates/lib/theme/DefaultTheme";
import { SingleDatePicker } from "react-dates";
import "react-dates/initialize";
import "react-dates/lib/css/_datepicker.css";

ThemedStyleSheet.registerTheme({
  reactDates: {
    ...DefaultTheme.reactDates,
    color: {
      ...DefaultTheme.reactDates.color,
      highlighted: {
        backgroundColor: "#AE68FF",
        backgroundColor_active: "#DEC2FF",
        backgroundColor_hover: "#DEC2FF"
      }
    }
  }
});

class DatePicker extends Component {
  state = { focused: false };

  render() {
    const { date, onDateChange } = this.props;
    return (
      <SingleDatePicker
        date={date}
        onDateChange={onDateChange}
        focused={this.state.focused}
        onFocusChange={({ focused }) => this.setState({ focused })}
        id="date-picker"
        numberOfMonths={1}
        showDefaultInputIcon
        displayFormat="DD/MM/YYYY"
      />
    );
  }
}

export default DatePicker;

A: The docs say:

Note that you must register an interface if you manually register a theme. One will not work without the other.

In their example they register the Aphrodite interface:
import aphroditeInterface from 'react-with-styles-interface-aphrodite';
...
ThemedStyleSheet.registerInterface(aphroditeInterface);

I can't see that you've registered an interface in your code - maybe this is the problem.

Per venedor ambulant és un comerciant que no practica la seva professió en un lloc estable. L'activitat del venedor ambulant generalment es concentra en les fires o en els mercats diaris o setmanals (en aquests casos es du a terme en zones públiques), però de forma generalitzada, -de vegades il·legal, com el comerç del top manta -, també en altres llocs concorreguts, com a destinacions turístiques , centres comercials, esdeveniments esportius i musicals.

Història
Els seus orígens es perden a la boira del temps, ja que antigament no hi havia botigues permanents als pobles agrícoles i, per tant, per al subministrament, calia anar a les fires que es realitzaven periòdicament. Per fer front a les necessitats de la població rural, hi havia les figures dels venedors ambulants, els orígens dels quals poden estar relacionats amb la relativa seguretat dels viatges després de l'any 1000, sense excloure la seva existència en temps més antics. Moltes vegades a la part posterior d'un ase, potser amb un carro, passaven per tots els carrers, portant tota mena de productes que podrien servir.

Venda porta a porta
Herència de l'antic venedor ambulant és el venedor porta a porta que, literalment, es trasllada de casa en casa o d'empresa en empresa per vendre els seus propis productes o els d'una altra empresa que promociona en aquell moment. En el segon cas solem parlar d'un agent comercial o d'altres que fan vendes directes , és a dir, proposen, per diversos mètodes, productes o serveis de consum directament al domicili del consumidor.

Hi. I'm a nice, friendly, cheerful lady, alone for almost two years and ready to begin again. I am from Huntington Long Island (yes, they say I tawk funny) but have weathered two winters up here and find it a wonderful, welcoming new home. I am emotionally, physically, and financially independent with no baggage to weigh me down. If you are kind, easy going, a homebody who likes to do country things or go out on the town as the mood strikes, we will surely be able to begin a friendship. If that is as far as it goes, isn't friendship, in itself a miracle? Even friendship , for me, requires openness and sharing. If you keep your thoughts to yourself and don't care about mine...not good. These profiles are limited and best way to go for me is to meet. I like walks, rides, locally to enjoy the scenery or cross country, country fairs (Schoharie sunshine fair is just weeks away), bluegrass (annual bluegrass fest in Norton Hill coming up and be great if we could enjoy together), smalltown concerts in the town square. Gardening is good and small projects around the house usually involving trips to home depot . I worked many years and now enjoy doing whatever feels good at the moment. So come visit and lets find something to do. Negatives??? My dog is large, not well trained and annoying, kids are always visiting with their children, making a mess and emptying the refrigerator.Both these negatives give me greatest joy but if you are not into seven little people and a dog jumping around I surely am not for you.


It's been very quiet on the blog for the past few weeks, but I have a very good excuse: I got married! Finally, I got to wear my wedding shawl, RosaFlora, and, most importantly, married the love of my life. We even had the venue of our dreams, the Roman Baths.
I haven't got many photos of the day yet, so I am sure I will be able to show you a better view of the shawl later on. For now, you can have a look at my project photos on Ravelry.
It was a wonderful day, topped off with a lovely, relaxing honeymoon in the south of Spain.
We both had a fab break, but now it's time to get back into daily life. So look forward to regular posts starting next weekend.
Congratulations! Your shawl is stunning and you look so happy. All the best for a very happy future together.
Thank you! I was (and still am) very happy. It was a lovely day and the perfect place to get married. Here's to a new chapter in our lives!
ich gratuliere Dir von ganzem Herzen und wünsche Euch alles gute. Ich hoffe Du erinnerst Dich noch an mich, Steffi, Afrosteff77 von Ravelry.

Now You Know: Monumentomb
Tuesday, 1st July 2014 By Bridget Erickson
Formation: 2013
Location: Maidstone, Kent, UK
Personnel (at time of interview and album): Byron Braidwood (vocals/guitar); Alex Brown (guitars); Gaius Toulson (bass); Lee Charlton (drums)
Style: Morbid old-school death metal
Latest release: Ritual Exhumation
Note: this interview was conducted prior to the recent changes/losses in the band's line-up. Alex Brown is no longer shredding for the dead with Monumentomb and decided to focus entirely on his other project Infected Dead.
Every decent post-90's metal band memoir begins with booze and a Beherit shirt, does it not? "Years ago I was drinking at a metal pub in my local town of Maidstone. The Beherit shirt I was wearing prompted conversation very quickly when Alex noticed it, and we've been good mates since. Then after a long time later, years in fact we met again and decided to form a band with our strong agreement in musical tastes. At the same place a little later, I met Gaius while drinking at a mutual friend's birthday, to then we got totally hammered. I met Lee at a gig Alex was playing at with local death metal band: Infected Dead. Alex heard that Lee was a decent and freed-up drummer and introduced us that night. We all started getting along very quickly and easy with no hassle fortunately."
Monumentomb have many evident musical influences in genres, styles, bands, etc. and obviously did their research by exploring music before embarking on their own project. It's not all about metal bands. "Shredders" like masterful Yngwie Malmsteen and alien-surfer Steve Vai are very beneficial for any musician, especially guitarists, to take notice of. "The first obvious one is old-school death metal, me [Byron] & Alex listen to a lot of 80's metal from Yngwie Malmsteen to W.A.S.P. Styles and bands we take a lot of influence from are Bolt Thrower, Autopsy, Grave, Dismember, Morbid Angel, Carcass, early Entombed, Obituary, and Death. Influences always have a bearing on our development as players, especially as we greatly enjoy shredders such as Malmsteen, Tony MacAlpine, Steve Vai, Jason Becker etc. Lee is ever aiming to reach the same ability level as George Kollias and Gaius listens to plenty of technical metal. So, as a band, development is constantly in mind and ever evolving, which in turn stylises the overtones to our sound, structures, riffs and direction. We're not aiming to be an overly technical band, as the fundamental idea at inception was to maintain the essential feeling and simplicity of most of the old-school death metal bands."
The name's band Monumentomb came quite naturally and has a killer death metal past. "It was an obvious choice immediately.'Monumentomb' is the namesake of a killer album by the band Nominon from Sweden. They're great guys and have impacted our ambition in many positive ways. Kindly, Perra granted permission for us to use the name. It's a name that always stood-out to me and aptly it suits our morbid themes." That's pretty cool of Perra but since when do metallers have to ask permission to do anything? Politeness is not a typical manner for metal but if Byron Braidwood is anything like Lord Byron, then politeness and darkness apparently do go hand in hand. Things like these make people like them more mysterious and harder to figure out; maybe it's an Englishman thing or a folks named Byron stereotype, or both, either way one simply cannot be named Byron and partake in making music themed so close to the Frankenstein design without it being pointed out but it's
Metal has strong significance in Braidwood's life and always has long before he was in a band. Again, one must explore a wide spectrum of metal before taking it into their own hands because it's more than it seems. One of the oddest things is when musicians play metal but don't like it, Monumentomb are not among those. "Metal music in particular has been a huge part of my life since I can remember. It's always had a significant appeal in terms of the sound, attitude and image from when I was a child up to now. It's certainly a vessel for anyone who has the ambition and passion/or wants to vent their thoughts and find an escape from mundane life. The fact that there's sub-genre in metal for almost anyone just demonstrates the complete versatility that other genres tend not to possess."
There's quite the array of themes and ideas infused in the songs of Ritual Exhumation. This album alludes to many things such as the undead, exhumation, zombification, ritual witchery, nightmares, the macabre, and so on, correct? "You've pretty much nailed most of it there! The themes are essentially all based around necromancy and death rituals/rites with an apocalyptic goal, with narratives and side-stories in between. A lot of inspiration comes from the Necronomicon by Lovecraft and related grimoires in terms of direct literary inspiration. I'm an avid fan of 80's horror and splatter films and comics, it's usually easy enough to write lyrics to these themes but it's tough to attempt a new angle when a lot of the subject matter has been broached upon before." Nailed it like a corpse on a crucifix.
How accurate is it to say Monumentomb make Halloweenish music? As I said in the review, Monumentomb make the kind of metal best listened to during night hours, or better yet, on Halloween. According to Braidwood, that'd be a pretty accurate statement. His response: "you're not far-off the mark there, thanks for the comment! It wasn't solely intentional, but more incidental due to the morbid themes. I'd like to think it's a release to be enjoyed all the time but listening to it at Halloween it makes sense, it would optimise the atmosphere and themes we're trying to convey."
Writing, rehearsing, recording and mixing music is a different process for every band and a different turn-out every album made. Ritual Exhumation is one of those albums destined to be made no matter what because Braidwood and the other musicians intended it to be so. Wisely, they had a head start on the music previous to Monumentomb. "It was all put together fairly quickly, most of the riffs had been written before the band even formed. As I mentioned earlier, the intention was with myself and Alex to create a revival of the good days of Death Metal with an updated touch. It was recorded within 5 days, for 6 tracks that's extremely quick! As I'm sure many others in bands say the same, there is always room for improvements and things that would be changed in hindsight. Given the time constraints we had, for a debut it's not been a bad start for the band at all."
Truly not a bad start at all, far from it. In more ways than one it's appropriate to say that Ritual Exhumation is bloody good.
"Majority of the writing in the early days started as just me and Alex bouncing ideas off each other and listening to a ton of music. The writing process sped-up dramatically when Lee joined, which then transpired into just the two of us meeting-up every weekend and continually getting a better sense of how the structures should form. In terms of funky issues, we only had one or two which involved a piece of studio equipment suddenly die on us while tracking guitars, but that was a minor set-back as the studio engineer (Graham) fortunately had a friend who lived around the corner from the studio who had the same identical processor." That's unluckily lucky. Judging by everything else Monumentomb have shown us so far, 13 might as well be their lucky number.
Was producing a debut album more or less difficult than you initially expected? "Slightly less than I thought actually, always keeping the 'have a plan B' mind-set ensured things ran very smoothly!" And indeed, 13 is their lucky number. Monumentomb have been up to some "auspicious" and mischievously superstitious, but serious, tasks as of late. "At the moment [now a couple weeks ago] we're headlining a local show on Friday 13th (very auspicious) and playing a festival in the UK called Beermageddon with Onslaught in August, then after that we're playing our first London appearance with Gravecrusher in October. Apart from that we're currently dealing with a label to release the EP on CD and concentrating on getting a full-length written."
Of course, there's always a last word to leave on: "Thanks very much for the comments and we'll be making an announcement soon in terms of who's releasing the EP, watch this space and cheers from the 'Tomb!"

Abstract: Purpose: To examine the relation of early age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes. Design: Population-based, cross-sectional study. Methods: A sample of 1,684 persons ages 51 to 72 years with no history of stroke had cerebral MRI and retinal photography. MRI scans were graded for severity of white matter lesions (WML), sulcal widening (SW), and ventricular enlargement (VE). AMD was graded from retinal photographs. Results: After adjustment for age, gender, race, or center, early AMD (5.0% of participants) was not significantly associated with WML (odds ratio [OR] 1.0, 95% confidence intervals [CI], 0.6 to 1.6), SW (OR 0.6, 95% CI, 0.4 to 1.2), or VE (OR 1.0, 95% CI, 0.6 to 1.8). Conclusions: These data showed no statistically significant association of early AMD with cerebral MRI changes, but the study was limited by a small number of cases with wide CIs. Further studies may clarify these associations. © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Scientists perform a shocking experiment with an apparatus known the God helmet
The device has been used in Persinger's research in the field of neurotheology

The God Helmet is an experimental apparatus originally called the Koren helmet (or Koren octopus) after its inventor Stanley Koren. It was developed by Koren and neuroscientist Michael Persinger to study creativity, religious experience and the effects of subtle stimulation of the temporal lobes. Reports by participants of a "sensed presence" while wearing the God helmet brought public attention and resulted in several TV documentaries. The device has been used in Persinger's research in the field of neurotheology, the study of the purported neural correlations of religion and spirituality. The apparatus, placed on the head of an experimental subject, generates very weak magnetic fields, that Persinger refers to as "complex." Like other neural stimulation with low-intensity magnetic fields, these fields are approximately as strong as those generated by a land line telephone handset or an ordinary hair dryer, but far weaker than that of an ordinary refrigerator magnet and approximately a million times weaker than transcranial magnetic stimulation.
The Netherlands ; Dutch: Nederland , also known informally as Holland, is a country in Western Europe with a population of seventeen million. Together with three island territories in the Caribbean (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba), it forms the main constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The European portion of the Netherlands consists of twelve provinces and borders Germany to the east, Belgium to the south, and the North Sea to the northwest, sharing maritime borders in the North Sea with Belgium, the United Kingdom, and Germany. The five largest cities in the Netherlands are Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht(forming the Randstad megalopolis) and Eindhoven (leading the Brabantse Stedenrij). Amsterdam is the country's capital, while The Hague holds the Dutch seat of parliament and government. The Port of Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe and the world's largest outside East Asia.
The Netherlands, a country in northwestern Europe, is known for a flat landscape of canals, tulip fields, windmills and cycling routes. Amsterdam, the capital, is home to the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and the house where Jewish diarist Anne Frank hid during WWII. Canalside mansions and a trove of works from artists including Rembrandt and Vermeer remain from the city's 17th-century "Golden Age."

Songwriters and Music Publishers Appeal Canadian Copyright Board's Decision on the CSI Online Music Services Tariff
By CMRRA | Published: September 26th, 2017
September 26, 2017 – Toronto and Montréal: On August 25, 2017, the Copyright Board of Canada ("Board") released its decision certifying the royalties payable to songwriters and music publishers for the reproduction of musical works by online music services operating in Canada, including services that offer music downloads, on-demand streaming and webcasting. CMRRA-SODRAC Inc. ("CSI"), the music collective that represents the vast majority of music rightsholders in Canada, is greatly disappointed by the decision and has filed an application for judicial review before the Federal Court of Appeal on a number of reviewable errors.
"CSI does not agree with many aspects of the Board's decision, including the very dramatic reduction in the royalty rates for streaming services and the virtual elimination of minimum rates for subscription services and services offered on a free or ad-supported model," said Alain Lauzon, President of CSI and General Manager of the Society for Reproduction Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers in Canada ("SODRAC"). "If applied, these rates would significantly decrease royalties payable to songwriters and music publishers, and provide no compensation at all in some cases."
CSI and the rightsholders it represents know that the decision widens the value gap in an era where music is more in demand than ever before. Rightsholders are now faced with a tariff that has unacceptably low royalty rates, largely based on the scant evidence that was available at the time of the hearing, and which was produced before most of today's online music services began operation in Canada.
This tariff, which applies to the years 2011-2013, took more than three years to be rendered after the conclusion of the hearing in early 2014. "During this time a new streaming market has emerged and, in the absence of a Board certified tariff, CSI has negotiated directly with these new services to license them at rates much more favourable than those specified in the tariff," said Caroline Rioux, Vice President of CSI and President of Canadian Musical Reproduction Rights Agency Ltd. ("CMRRA"). "CSI and its rightsholders welcome new services to Canada and believe that it is in the best interest of songwriters, music publishers, and the services to continue to negotiate directly for solutions that benefit both sides."
At the current pace, a new tariff for the post-2013 period within which these services launched in Canada is unlikely to be certified for years to come. In the interim, this decision will continue to cause confusion and frustration in the market for songwriters and music publishers every day. For these reasons, CMRRA and SODRAC look forward to participating in the consultations that were recently announced by the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Economic Development on the Board.

As the air grows brisker and the holiday season draws nearer, hot, home-cooked meals are at the forefront of everyone's mind. An updated standard from ANSI member and accredited standards developer the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) helps to make sure that household electric ranges meet their performance requirements.
ANSI/AHAM ER-1-2007, Performance Evaluation Procedure for Household Electric Ranges, is an updated version of AHAM's previous electric range standard, AHAM ER-1-1992. Only minor editorial changes were made to this new edition.
The revised standard establishes a uniform, repeatable procedure for evaluating the performance of household electric ranges. The procedure provides a means to compare the characteristics of different brands and models, and does not inhibit any future improvement or innovation in product testing, design, or performance.
According to a survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Education, more and more adults participate in continuing education programs each year. Whether they are returning to the classroom to finish a degree or obtain vocational training, the quality of these programs has never been more important.
The International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET), an ANSI member and accredited standards developer, has recently released a new set of standards for adult learning programs and practices. ANSI/IACET 1-2007, Standards for Continuing Education and Training, provides a framework to assist organizations as they assess the quality of their programs and offerings.
Key aspects of this process include the establishment of a responsibility and control system and the development of a plan to execute a quality learning event. The standards also recommend appropriate assessment criteria, and emphasize the importance of continuous monitoring and improvement of the learning process.
Approved earlier this month, ANSI/IACET 1-2007 will take effect beginning January 1, 2008.
