"With the new and exciting format comes a new and exciting panel of judges," said executive producer and judge Lythgoe. "I'm delighted that Paula Abdul and Jason Derulo will be joining me …

Yes, it's true. Almost every day I have been logging in and opening up the editor to create a new post. But then I conveniently find something else to do instead. Why? Honestly, I have completely lost my focus.
My very first blog. I set it up whilst I was at uni without really knowing what a blog was. All my friends were doing it, and I wanted to be a cool kid too - little did I know as I typed that first post, that blogging would literally change my life. I didn't have anything particularly interesting to say but over time a community formed and friendships were made (I am still in touch with many of those bloggers even now).
Gradually my blog evolved and I started to write about a wider range of topics - craft projects, food, design and my hopes and dreams for the future. It became a creative outlet, a stark contrast to my very corporate day job. I started customising the design and there a spark was lit.
4 years after that first post and I launched a side business - Little Tiny Pieces was born and I started selling digital clip art and graphics to help other bloggers pretty up their own sites. At the time I just hoped to make a little extra cash but soon business was growing and long story short - I am here now with my own creative agency and a consulting/coaching business.
In the last 18 months, I have been very heavily focused on my agency and most of my writing has reflected that. I have been busy writing blog posts over on the studio site as well as guess posting on marketing topics. I love it but it has left me with a bit of a conundrum when it comes to this here little site.
I have been backwards and forwards wondering what to do and suddenly writing a post here, seemed entirely overwhelming.
The truth is running two similar and yet different businesses can be challenging at times - whilst offering similar services each one has an entirely different audience. Yet there is an overlap in the content I create.
After much though I have decided that, for now, this is more of a personal space. I will be posting about blogging and running a creative business, and offering resources and hints to help you do that too - but there will also be posts on my life in general, fashion, design inspiration, food and anything else I want to write about.
Put simply - there is no goal here except to write about what I care about. No worrying about stats or who is reading, but instead writing because I feel compelled to.
I also want to get back some of that sense of community I used to share in. I want to know who is out there reading this (if, anyone). I want to know about you. So please please get in touch - leave a comment, drop me an email, find me on Twitter. I can't wait to meet you!


The startup's Corelight Sensor product uses the open-source Bro security monitoring and network analysis platform to help businesses quickly resolve incidents.
Corelight, a San Francisco-based technology startup announced today that had raised $9.2 million in a Series A round of funding led by Accel Partners. Osage University Partners and Dr. Steve McCanne, co-founder of Riverbed Technology also participated.
The company's product, Corelight Sensor, is an appliance that uses Bro, an open-source network analysis framework, to quickly unravel even the most advanced or stealthy network attacks. Bro originally hails from Dr. Vern Paxson, a professor of computer science at UC Berkeley, who co-founded the company and serves as its chief scientist.
The specialized hardware is tuned to provide up to four times the data processing throughput of standard servers and features a high-performance network interface card based on field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technology to quickly generate and deliver results to enterprises IT network and security professionals. In fact, Corelight Sensor has already found a home in six Fortune 100 companies, according to Corelight.
"Since all data, no matter what the threat vector, travel over networks, the Corelight Sensor is a powerful tool to understand threats" Alan Saldich, CMO of Corelight, told eSecurity Planet. Those threats include malware infections port scanning, denial of service attacks, unauthorized access, misconfigurations, abuse, exfiltration of data, insider threats, advanced persistent threats, phishing or other mail-based attacks, he said.
"While Bro-Corelight is not always the tool that detects incidents--in many cases it is end users who detect unusual emails or behavior, or report ransomware--it is the fastest way to resolve them and get clarity about exactly what happened and why, to get to the root cause," continued Saldich.
There's no shortage of security monitoring and alerting tools, but making sense of their output can become a job in and of itself.
"Understanding those alerts is a laborious and time-consuming job because there are many systems involved, each with different data, logs, user interfaces, formats and they are not necessarily correlated or organized in way that is useful to [incident responders]," said Saldich. "That means that advanced persistent threats can linger undetected or unresolved for hours, days or weeks because dealing with them is so challenging."
And every minute a security threat goes unaddressed can lead to a costly breach. Corelight takes the mystery out of security alerts for IT security professionals by structuring network activity information into an actionable format.
"Corelight helps companies resolve cybersecurity incidents much faster than they can today. We do that by providing clarity and detailed information about all network traffic, summarized and structured specifically for cybersecurity pros and incident responders," added Saldich.

Bobolink Alley
July 14, 2013 By winpen in birds, landscape, natural history, place, plants Tags: "Susie Asado", Bobolink Alley, bobolinks, David Spector, Enfield, F. Schuyler Mathews, Ithaca, Judy Pelikan, The Bobolink Project	1 Comment
Bobolinks. At first it was just a passing acquaintanceship. After all, they are birds, flying by quickly. But now, having spent time in Bobolink Alley and surrounding hayfields, I have become charmed by everything about them, the fact of their bobolinkishness, and, I, a forlorn lover, am mourning their imminent departure for Bolivia, Paraguay, or Argentina.
Like the bobolinks, I am migratory, returning to home territory in Highland County, Virginia. When I am gone, my husband David spends his evenings vegetable gardening, seeing friends, mowing, and bird-watching from a chair in a hedgerow in some hayfields we newly own, which we call Seven Fields. So, I first heard about bobolinks on the telephone. David would rave on about the numbers of bobolinks in the hayfields in Enfield, near Ithaca, and what he was learning about their endangered status. Since then we have discovered that our hayfields are natal territory to a significant number of bobolinks. Watching bobolinks from a distance, even with binoculars, is difficult. They are the usual songbird size, 7"-8" long, and whirl and swirl about with the typical fleetness of such birds, i.e., they don't pause in prolonged introspection like a great blue heron. David decided to mow a walkway through the middle of the largest, most open of the hayfields in order to observe them more closely. This walkway is Bobolink Alley.

It is not easy to "get up close and personal" with a bobolink. Bobolinks nest on the ground in the dense undergrowth of hayfields. A hayfield can look serene, a sea of gently waving grasses, but if I make a little noise walking down Bobolink Alley with Belle the dog, suddenly dozens of bobolinks fluff out of the field, swirl and circle to assess the danger, before settling down, invisible once again. They are social and live in loose groups called chains (e.g., like a herd of elephants). The males are polygamous, deigning only to feed the young of their primary female, but other members of the chain help in feeding the young that are not their own.
My husband and I want to keep track of progress in these invisible bobolink nurseries in order to allow the nesting and fledging to proceed without harm. Bobolinks arrive in northern North America and Canada in May. About nine weeks later, mid-July, after fledging their young, they start their journey back to wintering grounds, the pampas of South America. This life cycle is at odds with recent agricultural practices of haying much earlier than in the early 1900s, to reap high-nutrient hay and to harvest several times a season. Mowing too early means loss of nests with eggs; mowing not at all means loss of the only habitat for which they are adapted to build nests. They need grassland. Not shrubland, nor brushland. The Bobolink Project, subtitled "Helping Farmers Protect Grassland Birds," has organized for the purpose of mediating a compromise between the needs of farmers and the needs of bobolinks.[i]
The bobolink has been called the upside-down bird because of the noteworthy nature of the male's mating attire. Unlike most North American birds, which are dark on top and light underneath, the mating male bobolink has a dark belly and a prominent "buffy yellow" patch on the back of the head and several bright white patches on the upper wings. While some commentators, like Professor David Spector, author of "Bobolinks: The Poets' 'Rowdy Bird'' has called the attire a "clownish plumage,"[ii] I think that I might make the analogy to P. G. Wodehouse's young men in love, who often present themselves in a whimsical sartorial manner (e.g., Young Men in Spats). Certainly not classically beautiful like a bluebird, but distinctively bobolinkish. The female bobolink is described as a "buffy yellow brown" (musicofnature.org) or "large pale grassland sparrow" (Spector). "Buffy" seems a word that describers of birds use very freely. I would describe the female as being various shades of medium brown. I would say that the male's yellow head patch, which is somewhat like the human Mohawk hairstyle, is cream yellow, not buffy yellow! The feathers seem to stick straight up, and the shape of the patch on the rear half of the head is odd.
(On the subject of buffyness, I may be amiss. I have never observed a dead specimen closely, which is not a bad thing of course, but it is hard to evaluate the color of feathers from a great distance [which is why Audubon shot the birds he wished to paint]. I decide to check out the great bird song musicologist F. Schuyler Mathews, a source I greatly respect. While his major focus is bird song as music, he does describe the physical attributes of the birds. I find that he uses the words buff and buffy to describe both male and female bobolinks.[iii] He says the male's head patch is "corn-yellow" and the middle of the back is "cream-buff" and the female is "brown streaked with buff above" and the "head [is] dark sepia with a central line of green-buff; lower parts pale yellowish buff graded to buff-white"! I take back what I said. The word "buff" or "buffy" is used extensively to describe birds. I have been a plant watcher all my life, rather than a bird watcher, and buff and buffy are rarely if ever used in plant description. However—my husband and I once had an argument about the color of meadows in Highland County in winter sunlight. I said the meadows were tawny [meaning lion-colored] and he said they were dun, a word that sounded a little blah, depressing, and unevocative to me.]
The polygamous habit of the male bobolink necessitates a lot of energetic behavior. A pair of males will erupt out of a quiet hayfield for a competitive chase, settle down, and then erupt all over again, and again, and so on. Professor Spector writes that "A careful study of a meadow with displaying male bobolinks can provide occasional glimpses of [William Cullen] Bryant's 'modest and shy' female that resembles a large, pale, grassland sparrow. She is all business, with no amusing antics. The male, too, of course, is all business, with his plumage, song, and display suited to attracting females—not to amusing us. The humor and clownishness we see is our perception, not hers." One wonders about the female bobolink's powers of perception. What does she perceive when she is not the primary female? But perhaps she is the primary female for another male, while being an accessory female for a different male? I am sure that there have been many studies of the mating behavior of bobolinks and it is all very interesting and complicated. But the difficulties of collecting accurate data about who is mating with whom in the bottom of a dense hayfield must be enormous!
Dense hayfield in which much is going on that is invisible to the human eye.
Male bobolinks can sing. Ecstatically. F. Schuyler Mathews, the bird song musicologist I referred to above, writes that "The Bobolink is indeed a great singer, but the latter part of his song is a species of musical fireworks. He begins bravely enough with a number of well-sustained tones, but presently he accelerates his time, loses track of his motive, and goes to pieces in a burst of musical scintillations. It is a mad, reckless song-fantasia, an outbreak of pent-up, irrepressible glee" (p. 49, Dover edition). Another description of its song is "a bubbling delirium of ecstatic music that flows from the gifted throat of the bird like sparkling champagne" (musicofnature.org). The human ear can hardly comprehend the sequence of sounds. I stood in Bobolink Alley a few days ago as a male flew around me. As he flew I turned, and as I turned he circled. Soon I was dizzy. Perhaps that's the best way to "see" a bobolink, like a spinning top, the scents of the grasses, the clover, the milkweed, the teasel, the vetches, all of it mingling with the male bobolink's exuberance.
Mathews compares male bobolink's song to Chopin!
I am always remembering connections to my natal territory in Vinegar Hollow. Bobolinks are related to red-winged blackbirds and meadowlarks, birds that also nest on the ground in hayfields. Once my father came rushing from the orchard meadow, his face solemn and concerned. "Elizabeth," he said, "come with me. I have something to show you." I was known, as a young girl, as the resident naturalist. He brought me to Roy, the mower, who stood looking at a patch on the ground. It was a meadowlark's nest that had been chomped by the blades of the tractor. Some of the eggs lay smashed, oozing yellow yolk. What could I do? I realized that they wanted me to help by witnessing and mourning the destruction of the nest and the distress of the mother circling overhead.
So, a mower at Seven Fields is standing ready, and the bobolinks are about to leave on an incredible journey. It has been recorded that one female bobolink travelled 1,100 miles in one day (wiki). They will come back next May after a 12,5000 mile round trip. I hope. My husband has pointed out to me that they have a characteristic, and unusual, flying style. While most birds flap their wings in a near 180 degree arc, bobolinks never (rarely?) raise their wings above the plane of their body, creating a 90 degree arc. F. Schuyler Mathews is critical of this flying style: "The Bobolink is a distinctive meadow character. He rises from the grass with a great deal more wing-action than the shortness of his flight would seem to demand. It is evident by the constant flipping of the wings that flying is an effort with him, where it is not effort at all with the Barn Swallow. Perhaps his constant foraging in the meadow grass has put him out of practice on the wing" (51-51). Mathews suggests that proof of their shaky flying is that they take the shortest route to South America, hugging land, Cuba and the Yucatan, rather than going over the ocean! Mathews is known for being opinionated, but this criticism is going too far!! Judy Pelikan has illustrated an expurgated version of F. Schuyler Mathews' original Field Book, published in 2004 by Algonquin Press.
Beautifully illustrated (and expurgated) edition of Mathews' text.
Bobolinks will be called by other names in different places on their journey: ricebirds in the South where they are shot for their love of rice, and butterbirds in Jamaica where they are eaten because they have gotten fat on rice. Sympathetic sorts, like poets, write about bobolinks, rather than shooting or eating them. Emily Dickinson observed bobolinks in the hayfields around her home in New England ("the Bobolink is gone, the Rowdy of the Meadow")[iv]and Gertrude Stein, who wintered in South America, made an enigmatic reference to bobolinks in her famous poem "Susie Asado," a tribute to a flamenco dancer (which made her lover Alice jealous).[v] The line is "a bobolink is pins," which is not supposed to make any literal sense, but rather musical sense. The entire poem is aflash with "musical scintillations," to use Mathews' phrase about the male bobolink's song. The poem is almost meant to be read as a bird song.
Fledglings in the sky.
I want to be sure that the bobolinks are really ready. My husband and I have sighted groups of fledglings, intermingled young redwing blackbirds and young bobolinks, flitting to the hedgerows, but they are still descending to nestle in their invisible homes in the central parts of the hayfields in the evening. I am worried they don't want to leave.
Bobolinks: listen for the mower and go.

Rhode Island Sea Grant is dedicated to increasing knowledge and awareness of coastal and marine ecosystems for the next generation of professionals so that they may be stewards of these valuable resources. We are committed to providing hands-on educational opportunities for students across disciplines through fellowships, assistantships, and internships.
A marketing internship is available to support 41°N magazine (see http://41Nmagazine.org) and the educational, outreach, and research efforts of Rhode Island Sea Grant at the University of Rhode Island.
This internship is intended to help Rhode Island Sea Grant and the Coastal Institute improve marketing of 41°N magazine, which currently is printed and distributed free of charge to 3,000 subscribers as well as delivered to distribution points at coffee shops and supermarkets throughout Rhode Island as well as partnering organizations.
The circulation is 12,000 print copies as well as online publication, and two issues are produced each year.

Rhode Island Sea Grant sponsors undergraduate Coastal Fellows through the Coastal Fellows Program of URI's College of Environment and Life Sciences that is aimed at addressing emerging environmental problems from a range of disciplines and technologies.
The Coastal Fellowship Program provides training in both the classroom and applied venues to maximize educational opportunities. Coastal Fellows work within vertically integrated research or outreach teams that are problem-driven by nature. Teams involve some mix of faculty, research or outreach staff, land and sea grant educators, post-doctorate fellows, community professionals, and graduate students. These multigenerational teams provide students with a range of learning experiences and project-related support. Students take responsibility for a small piece of the project's overall research or outreach design and follow the work through to completion.
Rhode Island Sea Grant supports two students for the academic year from the Master of Environmental Science and Management (MESM) program at the University of Rhode Island to work with scientists in developing solutions to the pressing problems facing coastal and marine communities.
The purpose of the program is to give MESM Fellows opportunity to contribute to the work of Sea Grant programs and gain hands-on experience in coastal ecosystem management. Focal topics of activity include fishery management, managing for sustainable coastal communities, aquaculture, marine spatial planning, and coastal zone management policy and law.
Fellows are assigned to a Sea Grant mentor who directs their work. MESM Fellows will develop their major paper project around the issue they work on with the Sea Grant scientists.
The MESM (Master of Environmental Science and Management) program is an interdisciplinary, professional degree that provides training to students interested in the application – and transfer – of science to environmental problem solving. The program builds intellectual depth through advising tracks and focused coursework in such as Sustainable Systems, Conservation Biology, Geosciences, Coastal Watersheds, and Spatial Analysis. MESM builds intellectual breadth through a mix of multi-disciplinary courses, development of real-world problem-solving skills through professional internships, and a capstone project in environmental management. MESM students work on practical issues in coastal ecosystem management, fisheries and aquaculture, water resource management, and creating sustainable and resilient communities.
This program's mission is to provide on-the-job education and training opportunities in coastal resource management and policy for postgraduate students and to provide project assistance to state coastal zone management agencies and other key NOAA partners.

John Burnham
Accident Prone
A History of Technology, Psychology, and Misfits of the Machine Age
Technology demands uniformity from human beings who encounter it. People encountering technology, however, differ from one another. Thinkers in the early twentieth century, observing the awful consequences of interactions between humans and machines—death by automobiles or dismemberment by factory machinery, for example—developed the idea of accident proneness: the tendency of a particular person to have more accidents than most people. In tracing this concept from its birth to its disappearance at the end of the twentieth century, Accident Prone offers a unique history of technology focused not on innovations but on their unintended consequences.
Here, John C. Burnham shows that as the machine era progressed, the physical and economic impact of accidents coevolved with the rise of the insurance industry and trends in twentieth-century psychology. After World War I, psychologists determined that some people are more accident prone than others. This designation signaled a shift in social strategy toward minimizing accidents by diverting particular people away from dangerous environments. By the 1960s and 1970s, however, the idea of accident proneness gradually declined, and engineers developed new technologies to protect all people, thereby introducing a hidden, but radical, egalitarianism.
Lying at the intersection of the history of technology, the history of medicine and psychology, and environmental history, Accident Prone is an ambitious intellectual analysis of the birth, growth, and decline of an idea that will interest anyone who wishes to understand how Western societies have grappled with the human costs of modern life.
John C. Burnham is research professor of history at Ohio State University and the author of many books including, most recently, What Is Medical History?
"Accident Prone traces the birth, growth, and decline of an idea: that of accident proneness. John Burnham writes with the confidence, authority, and insight of a preeminent historian. This book is a work of great reason and originality that promises to advance the social history of science, medicine, and technology and will engage anyone interested in how Western societies have understood and grappled with the human costs of modern technology—from home and workplace injuries to the carnage all too common on the world's highways."
— Jeffrey K. Stine, Smithsonian Institution
"Based on massive research in the literatures of several nations and from a range of disciplines, Accident Prone is a pioneering effort in an area about which little has been written. It will make a major contribution to the growing field of the history of accidents and societal risk perception."
— Joel A. Tarr, Carnegie Mellon University
"Thoughtful. . . . A good academic book for academics."
— Times Higher Education
"Burnham has crafted a fascinating study of the rise and decline of the concept of being accident-prone."

Possessed Pooch? We Have The Answer To Your Problems!
A woman in New York is apparently trying to supplement her holiday income. She's claiming that if you have a possessed pooch or other possessed pet, that she can solve your problems!
It started when Olga Horvat purchased what she describes as a demon possessed poodle. With the poodle came a landslide of problems – a bedbug infestation that cost $7,000 to fix, a near eviction, her husband came down with a rare disease, and her daughter's near expulsion from school.
In short, Horvat claims her life went into shambles when the dog entered their life.
Additionally, the dog, named Princess, broke a leg that refused to heal and then suffered a mysterious fall which resulted in the dog's death.
Fortunately for you, Horvat's misfortune is your good fortune! For the low price of just $197, she can sell you a pendant that can save you from your demon possessed pet! After all, when you get sick there's nobody else to blame except the dog. When your kid misbehaves at school, it's absolutely the dog's fault. And bedbugs in New York? Who ever heard of such a thing!
Moreover, Horvat has written a book titled Paranormal Pooch, which details the misadventures of her family and her theories on her possessed canine friend.
I could go on about this, but you get the point. I'm pretty open to theories about the paranormal, but I'm inclined to believe that Horvat is more likely the recipient of bad luck. That, and maybe a loose screw. However… if you want to buy a unique last minute holiday gift, the seed has been planted.
Good luck out there with your pets. You're gonna need it.
Read more about Princess' Possession here.

Q: Unity - Повернуть объект Чет вообще ничего не понимаю, в инете читаю про поворот объекта, и так, и сяк делаю, но не получается ничего.
Мне нужно просто повернуть объект на 180 градусов, плавность не нужна, т.к. объект телепортируется и он просто должен смотреть в другую сторону после поворота. Все мои попытки повернуть объект:
other.transform.Rotate(0, 180, 0);
other.transform.localEulerAngles.y = 180;
other.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 180, 0);
other.transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, 180, 0);

Может я очень сильно туплю, но до меня не доходит, как еще можно повернуть объект, помогите поже.

A: Если Вы хотите установить значение поворота используйте
other.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 180, 0);

Если же Вам необходимо изменить текущее значение можно воспользоваться этим способом:
other.transform.Rotate(0, 180, 0);

Jamaican cuisine is a mixture of assorted cooking techniques and flavours. From the indigenous population to the Spanish, British, African, Indian and Chinese who have all at one stage all inhabited the island. All these cultures have helped shape the island into a world-class holiday destination.
Visitors to the island are always looking for affordable Jamaica group vacation rentals and authentic cuisine. Jamaican dishes are a fusion of cooking styles brought to the island from around the world. They are often adjusted to incorporate locally grown produce, these are the best Jamaican dishes from the home of reggae.

What to eat in Jamaica?
Curry goat is a dish which originated in India but has since become population in the Caribbean. The dish is popular in Jamaica and known as the party dish. At big dances a specialist chef is often brought into to prepare curry goat. While considerably milder than the Indian equivalent it is still a dish with a kick thanks to the spice mix that is typical of Jamaican cooking.
Jerk Chicken or more generally Jerk is a style of cooking native to Jamaica and perhaps the most well known style of cooking on the island. The meat is dry-rubbed or wet marinated with a very hot spice called Jamaican jerk spice. Jerk seasoning is traditionally applied to chicken and pork. Jerk seasoning mainly consists of two items, allspice (known as pimento in Jamaica) and scotch bonnet peppers (very much like the habanero pepper), these two ingredients give jerk chicken its infamous kick.
Ackee and saltfish is Jamaica's national dish and one which has spread throughout the Caribbean. To prepare the dish, salt cod is sauteed with boiled ackee, onions, scotch bonnet peppers, tomatoes and spices including pimento. The dish can be served with rice and is traditionally served on a Sunday.
Fish tea is a spicy Jamaican soup which can take up to four hours to prepare. The dish includes ground yam, pumpkin, cassava and potatoes and is cooked down until it is very soft. The fish is then added along with cho-cho carrots, before being flavoured with coconut milk and seasoned.

Consists of 15 boxes of Albert Croll Baugh's professional papers, including correspondence, research materials, a catalog of the book collection he donated to the University of Pennsylvania libraries, and reproductions of various medieval manuscripts. The correspondence is professional and overwhelmingly relates to Baugh's research. The research materials consist primarily of notes, unpublished article reviews, reprints of articles, and newspaper clippings, and make up the greater bulk of the collection. These materials cover Middle English, French and Anglo-Latin literature and literary history in the twelfth through sixteenth centuries. Specific topics covered in the research materials include Arthurian legends, Chaucer, Middle English language (including spelling, grammar and punctuation) and literature (especially romances, plays and lyric works), Piers Plowman, and the concept of the table dormant, as well as the teaching of English and the editing of medieval texts. The catalog records Baugh's extensive personal research library and can additionally be found on microfilm, along with various medieval manuscripts on microfilm. The bulk of the manuscript reproductions are, however, in photograph, facsimile or photocopied form. These manuscripts are primarily in Middle English (with a few in Latin) and include various transcriptions of the Ancren riwle (a 13th century text of rules for anchoresses, one version of which Baugh edited and then published in 1956), two versions of Piers Plowman, (the B and C texts), various English public records, and miscellaneous other Middle English works.

The alumnae association collection contains historical accounts of the hospital and the school as prepared by the alumni, minutes of alumni meetings, programs of various kinds of activities the association sponsored, newsletters, correspondence, clippings, and material the association collected of other organizations.

American Law Institute Photograph Collection
The American Law Institute (ALI) was founded in 1923 in response to a perceived uncertainty and complexity in American law. An association of practitioners and scholars known as the "Committee on the Establishment of a Permanent Organization for Improvement of Law" published a study that recommended a lawyers' organization be formed to improve the law and its administration. The committee was chaired by Elihu Root and counted Learned Hand, Benjamin Cardozo, and Samuel Williston among its members. This photograph collection is comprised of portraits of ALI directors, presidents, members, and staff. Also included are photographs from the Annual Meeting, including the 1st Annual Meeting in 1923.

American Section
The American Section was one of the first to evolve during the early development of the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. The University Archaeological Association established in 1887 and later, the American Exploration Society, established in 1892, exhibited several small collections in College Hall before the building campaign for the museum began. Charles Abbott was the first curator of the section succeeded by Henry C. Mercer and then Stewart Culin who was also named Director in 1899. Each succeeding curator was responsible for adding collections, many of them representing their own expeditions in the United States, Alaska, Mexico, Central America and South America. Records in the files are dated from 1826 through the 1980s. The transfer of materials to the Archives took place piecemeal and without a central organization. The current re-processing placed the files into three series, Deaccessions and Loans, Collectors and Collections and Exhibits.

Annual Meeting Records
American Law Institute, Creator
The American Law Institute (ALI) was founded in 1923 in response to a perceived uncertainty and complexity in American law. Former Penn Law Dean William Draper Lewis was the Institute's first director, running the organization's operations out of his campus office. The ALI was conceived as a representative gathering of the American Bar (including Judges, Lawyers, and Law Professors) for the stated mission "to promote the clarification and simplification of the law and its better adaptation to social needs, to secure the better administration of justice and to encourage and carry on scholarly and scientific legal work." To that end, the ALI has held annual meetings since its inception to adopt its restatements and other codification projects, discuss drafts, analyze pending legislation and aspects of the law, set policy, and initialize new projects. The collection, 1923-1995, includes correspondence, addresses and remarks, reports on codification projects and other ALI-related activity, annual meeting programs, yearbooks, proceedings, and related records regarding activity at the ALI's annual meetings.

Glasgow West Amnesty group will be holding an action in support of our adopted prisoner of conscience Ali Aarrass, in An Clachan Cafe in Kelvingrove Park (https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/An+Clachan/@55.8668301,-4.2802846,17z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0xc79c514272901429) next Saturday 17th October, 12 noon to 5pm. We will be asking customers of the cafe to support Ali by signing action cards asking for his release and taking a casesheet home in order to write a letter on his behalf.
This action is especially pertinent at the moment as Ali's situation has recently worsened dramatically. He is a Moroccon-Belgian national sentenced to 12 years in prison in Morocco after an unfair trial which relied on evidence obtained through his torture. He has now been on hunger strike for several weeks, is very weak, and reports that he was beaten in his cell the week before last.
We aim to invite the local press to this action and then to forward any coverage to the Moroccan authorities to demostrate how much people around the world care for Ali. Please come along and join the call for his release by signing a card to the Moroccan authorities.

Q: Spring JPA + Hibernate Add Where condition to my entire model I'm currently working on a new project and we are working with Spring DATA over Hibernate.
So the thing is that our base model has 3 fields "IsActive" "IsDeleted" and "AccessLevel"
The idea behind these is that a any record could be deactivated and logically deleted.
I Think I could write @Where annotation over my Base class and write the clause there IsActive=true AND IsDeleted=false
But the access level is in the authenticated user, so all the records in the DB inherit the field access level and it is a int, so records with Access Level 0 are public, and people with access level 1 can find records with level 1 and 0 but not level 2.
is there any way to implement this in my baseModel or in my CustomBaseRepository?

A: For the access restriction, you might want to have a look at hibernate filters :
https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/5.0/manual/en-US/html/ch19.html
The hibernate documentation shows how to activate a filter on a session, but not how to make it always active.
As it seems you want to achieve that, have a look at this question : How to enable hibernate filter for sessionFactory.getCurrentSession()?
The answer provided there : enabling the filter with aop on the hibernate openSession method, should work well with spring-data too.
