As companions in learning, faculty and students are committed to global Christian service through excellence in teaching, learning, and research.
The Curriculum & Instruction program is concerned with creating superior learning environments within learning organizations such as schools, colleges, universities, and corporations. Curriculum & Instruction (C&I) degrees at Andrews University are offered in traditional classrooms, completely online, or in a combination of the two. However, you must select one program and apply for admission to it. The programs are interdisciplinary, involving a broad spectrum of content areas and educational levels. Graduates of the Andrews University Curriculum & Instruction program serve as classroom teachers, department heads, principals, superintendents, curriculum specialists, teacher educators, department chairs, researchers, academic vice presidents, and university presidents. [Note: Persons seeking master's level initial teacher certification for K–12 schools should pursue the MAT degree for elementary or secondary education.
Specialized study in the form of concentrations is offered in several areas. Students in all graduate C&I programs may choose to include a concentration to help reach their personal goals for advanced study. The chart below lists currently approved concentrations for MA, EdS, EdD, and PhD degrees in Curriculum & Instruction. Please note that all concentrations are available on-campus and several of the concentrations also are available online. If you are interested in one of the online concentrations, please check the chart below carefully to be sure that concentration is currently available online. While graduate degrees in Curriculum and Instruction are designed for experienced educators, provision is made for individuals desiring a career change. Such persons may be required to earn more than the minimum number of credits.
We offer both a synchronous, online degree pathway and a traditional, face-to-face (f2f) residential path to degree completion. Some students combine the two options, taking some courses f2f and others online. The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) and NCATE have accredited both program delivery options. We have a rolling admissions policy and it is possible to begin your program during any semester. Courses are offered year-round in three semesters: Fall, Spring, and Summer. Courses offered during the Summer Semester may be subdivided into shorter more intensive sessions of 2, 3, 4, or 8 weeks.
We have students from all over the United States and the world who come to southwestern Michigan to complete their graduate degrees in a classroom setting. The residential program is appropriate for international students who want a degree from a United States university, but whose national governments do not recognize online degrees. Some countries such as Brazil, for example, require their citizens to complete degrees on a residential campus. Additionally, international students living in the United States are limited in the number of online courses they can take each semester.
For those learners pursuing their degree online, we offer every EDCI class and many others online. From your program orientation to presentation of your capstone project and portfolio, you will be immersed in a richly interactive online environment. The interactive online C&I program allows participants to meet program competencies within the context of their current career positions. This immediate application of learning strengthens authenticity, provides relevancy, and benefits the place of employment. Our interactive online program is offered through synchronous online or blended learning courses. All online courses are delivered via the Internet. Online learners interact with their peers in the traditional classroom during synchronous class sessions. This allows the ongoing construction of a learning community and supports learners as they advance their understanding and develop expertise in their selected area. Please note: Not all concentrations are available via online delivery. Online doctoral students are required to travel to the Berrien Springs campus for their dissertation defense.
The Master of Arts (M.A.) degree is designed for individuals seeking to further develop and deepen their skills as educators, as well as for those future leaders in education who plan to go on to do further work and research in education. The M.A. is the starting point for those who may wish to later pursue an Educational Specialist (EdS) degree, a Doctor of Education (EdD) degree, or a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree. This program requires 32 semester hours of post-Bachelor's work, preparation of a Master's Portfolio, a project or thesis, and a written comprehensive examination. Students who are choosing one of the four special Master's concentrations must focus their project or thesis on a topic in the concentration area.
This program is offered on campus and as a synchronous, interactive online program (see School of Distance Education definitions). The online courses are not self-paced, but have regular semester start and end dates. Participants interact with each other, their traditional classroom peers, and the instructor throughout all courses. Online students are encouraged to come to campus for graduation.
A 500-word statement of purpose explaining how your professional goals fit with the mission of the Curriculum and Instruction program. Identify the concentration you plan to complete.

It depends upon how you are authenticating (NTLMv1 vs NTLMv2).
And how your passwords are stored (MD4 Hash). NTLMv1 with MD4 Hash should be fine. Other combinations may have problems.
Unfortunatly CIFS authentication is problematic.

Genuine Pivot or Deliberate Re-Branding? Donald Trump's Speech to the Joint Session of Congress, Tuesday, February 28, 2017
Posted on March 14, 2017 March 14, 2017 by Alice Day
Why this post?
To post a comment on Donald Trump's first speech to a Joint Session of Congress, a full 2 weeks after the fact, may seem like a fruitless exercise. However, a closer look at what he said and why he said it may be well worth the effort. The very fact that an interval of 2 weeks could make analysis of this nationally- anticipated speech seem dated is in itself a commentary on the President's style and strategy. Whether deliberate or spontaneous, Trump's style is guaranteed to keep us guessing about what he really intends. His erratic behavior creates uncertainty about what to expect and what to count on. Across all sectors of government, it keeps us in the dark about likely future actions.
Pivot or Re-Branding?
The Joint Session of Congress speech was followed by an outpouring of speculation about whether that so deliberate reading from the teleprompter might indicate a "pivot" to a calmer, more judicious Mr. Trump. Looking "presidential" definitely seems to have worked to his favor. The startling abandonment of his typical aggressive, derisive tone threw the public off its guard. The relief was audible. At last, Trump was showing that he could be a leader of this great nation.. As Paul Krugman noted, "It was a speech filled with falsehoods and vile policy proposals, but read calmly off the teleprompter — and suddenly everyone was declaring the liar in chief "presidential."
True, some in the national audience were not so easily convinced. Is this kinder and gentler persona the new Donald Trump, they asked, or the same old Trump playing a role of lofty, more temperate Commander-in-Chief? Certainly, given the often wide discrepancy between what the President has been saying and what he has been doing, there are plenty of grounds to doubt the sincerity of any transformation. How can we tell whether the pivot is genuine or a clever smoke screen concealing the intention to release more extreme Executive Orders and hurl insults at people considered to be his "enemies"?
It did not take long before the answer was manifest: Trump started to tweet accusations of wire tapping against Barack Obama. Six days after the avalanche of praise for the new "presidential" Trump, Robert Reuben wrote in his blog: "The Old Trump Is Back. In fact, He Never Left" (Robert Reuben's Website, 06 March/17): "But that all ended Saturday morning when the old Trump – the "birther," the hatemonger, the thin-skinned paranoid, the liar, the reckless ranter, the vindictive narcissist, the whack-o conman – reemerged in a series of unprecedented and unverified accusations about his predecessor."
In a media climate consumed with stories laced with dishonesty: daily tweets impugning the truthfulness of journalists, speculation about the integrity of the voting process, and dark innuendoes about Russian cyber hacks, it is tempting to be conspiratorial about the President's more temperate style. Rather than marking a genuine pivot to new ways of thinking and governance, the change in tone seems to have been just a clever strategy to garner our attention.
The distinction is important. If the President was deliberately feigning "decent" behavior to get our attention, we who oppose his policies need to be forewarned about what he will do to "win."
What the President chose to highlight in his speech and what he left out offers further clues about the sincerity of the so-called presidential pivot. Consider that he chose not to mention, for example: the warming of the planet, the widening chasm between the rich and the poor, the role of Russia in hacking the election, the specifics about how "to replace" the Affordable Care Act, women's reproductive health and freedom to choose, and the protection of natural resources and the preservation of wild places. The President had nothing new to say about some of the greatest challenges his administration is likely to face in the coming decades. Everything he presented to Congress and the American people on February 28 had already been forecast in his campaign speeches.
Finally, two matters, in particular, that the President chose to highlight in the speech reveal the old, unrepentant Trump going to the dark side to fulfill campaign promises to his base. First, he doubled down on pursuing harsh measures against undocumented immigrants by calling for a new agency, VOICE (Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement), established ostensibly to address the grievances of people victimized by crimes perpetrated by undocumented immigrants, and, second, he elevated the efficacy of unleashing greater military force by mandating historically huge increases in spending for the Pentagon. His insistent mantra in defending this increase, is "Must fight only to win!"
In a prescient article, "How Trump Wins by Losing" (New York Times, 03/05//17, Tim Wu quotes George Orwell, "The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous" to illustrate the essence of Trump's strategy. What the President really wants, says Wu, is to "generate a riveting spectacle," to be at the forefront of our attention (mindshare) at all times and for an indefinite period. Thus, although he wants to win, what is more important is that the public focus on him as the central player.
The logic of Wu's thesis leads inevitably to the fact that the best way to make Trump a loser is to ignore him. Wu concludes, "To live by attention is to die by it as well, and he [Trump] may end up less a victim of political defeat than of waning interest, the final fate of every act."

Top tips for reducing energy costs and your carbon foot print in a warehouse.
Could you be doing more to reduce your carbon foot print and reduce cost? There may be many factors which contribute towards energy consumption within your warehouse.
Making simple changes could help you save cost, increase efficiency whilst also reduce your warehouse's carbon footprint.
This article offers some key tips on how you can get started.
The use of fluorescent lighting could be an alternative consideration or many industries. This can help increase lighting for staff during the day and night and impact positively on productivity and efficiency.
Temperature Control within the warehouse is vital for many industries. As, sensitive products may be stored, ensuring you have well-insulated warehouses is a significant consideration.
In order to minimise waste and optimise business revenue, considering how your warehouse can be efficient is important.
For many businesses, when initially starting up, considering the structure and long-term maintenance of their warehouse is the last thing on their minds. Nevertheless, the structure of walls, roof insulation and segmentation of your warehouse can make a huge difference to reducing energy costs and carbon footprint.
Providing staff with further training on how they can also be greener, can be effective in reducing cost in the long-run. This will allow your team to work more productively and think smart when using equipment and refrigeration units.
If you would like to know more on how your business can benefit from reduced carbon footprint and energy costs with CRS Cold storage units, please inquire today.

Looking around the corner
March 19, 2018 vprofybristol, family, Gallagher, irish Leave a comment
The Gallagher girls with Nanny.
A few years ago, Viv and Eli gave me a small planting of clover. For a minute they perched on either side of the plant looking for a four leaf — a token of their Irish heritage? It's March again and Irish eyes are shining. Diane sometimes places the Bryers Choice Irish dancer on the bow window. I purchased it as a reminder the year my mother was killed in a hit and run on Radcliffe Street. I like to remember that she was proud of her Irish heritage. More so probably than Father's interest with anything Italian.
Growing up in Bristol Borough in the 1950-60s, my sisters and I were presented with a mix of Italian-Irish heritage. Since Catholics attend the maternal church, we were baptized and attended Irish Saint Mark's. Saint Ann's was the Italian parish. I'm not sure why but I favored the Italian culture. Food was certainly better and we had some exposure to good Italian cooks — Aunt Mary Profy in Harriman, Mrs. Mignoni across the street, Mari's pizza on the corner; Mom even made a decent spaghetti and meatballs.
But in the mid 1970s, I read "Trinity" by Leon Uris. In his sweeping, epic style, Uris traces the history of Ireland from the Great Famine of the 1840s to the Easter Rising in 1916. It touched a nerve. Some of Mom's family were probably Catholic farmers from a small town in County Donegal. Unfortunately none of the Gallaghers knew their exact origin. "Trinity" however was powerful, I wrote Mother and told her the Bristol divide aside, I would forever embraced my Irish heritage.
It was in the early 1980s, Diane, Jenny and I traveled for five weeks in Ireland. We landed in Dublin, rented a car and headed south, then up the western coast, to Northern Ireland and back down for a week in Dublin. The Dingle peninsula, the rocky western coast with its narrow roads, the cliffs of Moher, and the Giant's Causeway. The countryside was beautiful — how many, so many, shades of green. Some nights we camped — along the coast, our tent floor covered with rocks, insurance against the winds. Other nights we we found a small B. and B. Ireland was enchanting; and the food wasn't bad.
Since I didn't have any names or addresses of Irish relatives; not even a town, I borrowed "Gallagher" heritage from a close friend Bill Gallagher. In Ireland, we went to a small country house in Donegal asking for I think William (same as my maternal grandfather). His wife said he was out but we could catch him in the pub come evening. We did. And we spent a delightful evening drinking Guinness and getting to know a William Gallagher.
I have one photograph of my grandfather William. That image came to life on the docks of Donegal. Some of the fisherman had to be relatives. I knew I was in the right county. Grandfather Gallagher was a habadasher — that's a dealer in men's clothes. His business was in a large building on the corner of Mill and Cedar streets in Bristol. The background of his wife, Hannah, for us, was also sketchy. She was Irish; had two sisters, Lucy and Allie. Lucy was a domestic living in the homes of her employers; Allie lived with her daughter, Mary, on Jefferson Avenue. William Gallagher and Hannah Deviney (?) were married and had three daughters — Ellen (the oldest), Cecelia (my mother) and Marie. They lived on Buckley street in Bristol's 4th Ward, the Irish district.
Growing up we were told that grandfather William died young. When I coughed from smoking, my mother would remind me that her father died of TB. Hannah, Nanny as we grandkids called her, lived in an apartment over the former habadashery. I have no idea how she supported herself and the three Gallagher girls. Unfortunately I never asked the questions or if I did my mother never had answers.
Marie and Cis. Cis and Ellen
My images of the Gallagher girls from the 1920s to the 1940s come from books and movies not from real stories. I know they went to Saint Mark's school and attended Bristol High School. I suspect they had jobs during the war. For a while Ellen worked in a Bristol distillery. Ellen and Cis married Italians from the other side of the tracks, (Frank Mignoni and my father Vince Profy). Both boys came from business families who lived on Mill street. The youngest sister, Marie married Irish. I suspect Hannah didn't like any of their choices. She had strong opinions.
I'm not sure how my parents met. But Bristol is the classic small town. They both lived on the same 200 block of Mill street. Vince in an apartment behind his father's GE appliance store; Cis above the habadashery. Although they both went to Bristol high school; they attended different Catholic churches — Italian or Irish. Similarly Frank, Ellen's beau lived a block away in an apartment owned by his family.
Mother, my sister Cissi and me.
After the war, my father worked briefly in Rohm & Haas but left to work for his father's store. He and Cis were married at St. Mark's in 1946. Frank Mignoni was a realtor. He and Ellen married. Both couples lived on Mill street in family properties. Small town. They began families; worked and lived on Mill street and attended Saint Marks. Vacations were a week in a shared Long Beach Island rental.
Growing up, St. Mark's parish was one sign of our Irish background. It wasn't really a strong ethnic parish. Saint Ann's several blocks away, for instance, had Italian speaking priests and celebrated Italian feast days. Saint Marks was more subtle. But as an alter boy I went with the priest to the Hibernian hall in the fourth Ward (remember, Bristol's Irish neighborhood) after some evening service. I sat at the bar with Father and picked numbered balls from a glass container — the weekly lottery.
We were also aware of "Irish" relatives that lived in the 4th Ward neighborhood. Grandfather William had quite a few siblings and other relatives. There are different numbers depending on who does the ancestry. But we associated with a few. I recall at least one house wake (prior to a church funeral I guess). It was at Uncle Lawrence's. There was a casket; a lot of eating and drinking. Somehow I was aware of what was thought to be an Irish custom. As the afternoon proceeded, I waited for them to take the deceased from the coffin and stand him in a corner with a glass of whiskey. Came close I think.
We weren't real close to most of our Irish family. An ocassional 4th Ward visit, a wedding or funeral. I was aware of a bit of Irish brogue, aunts and cousins who had red hair and freckles. Pretty stereotyped. There were two elderly sisters, Nin and Hester. Not sure if they were blood relatives or friends. Aunt Annie was a hair dresser who operated out of her house. I visited her quite a bit. She got me collecting postcards, giving me many from the early 1900s. Another Aunt Alice lived nearby.
Ocassionally with my mother we visited Aunt Allie on Jefferson. When Aunt Lucy retired in the 1960s she moved into my grandmother's apartment. Hannah soon moved in with Aunt Ellen. Lucy was always interesting. She was quite independent. Would take the train on shopping trips to Wanamaker's. Always brought me a small gift. She collected stamps and would share them with me. Of all my Irish relatives, it was a bit of a shock, to learn about Nitter Ferry, a homeless alcoholic, who lived along the river behind our house.
Aunt Ellen and Mom were extremely close. Our families were in daily contact, shopped together, celebrated holidays and birthdays. I frequently had lunch and Sunday breakfast at the Mignoni house on Radcliffe. Cis never learned to drive so depended on Ellen who had a car. Neither Ellen or Cis were as close with sister Marie.
The Gallagher girls didn't wear their Irish heritage on their arms. There weren't constant reminders. But they were proud. Food is often part of ethnic heritage. Although Mom learned to make a decent spaghetti and meatballs for Father, we were served Irish stew — some beef, lots of potatoes, carrots, onions and spices. I think we had colcannon — potatoes and cabbage. Lots of meat and potatoes — baked, boiled, mashed. My grandmother wasn't much of a cook. Don't ever remember her ever cooking; even morning tea was more hot water and lemon than a real cup of breakfast tea.
If Mom enjoyed Irish culture — music, art and literature it may have been because of our influence. For several years in March we went to McCarter Theatre in Princeton to see The Chieftains. I know we took Mom and Dad one or more times. I recall giving her a copy of Joyce's "The Dubliners" for Christmas. At a family dinner at the Old City pub, The Plough and the Stars, we discovered Barrie Maguire's painting "I Will Give You Ireland." It's shades of green. An old women is sewing a quilt, it's Ireland. My sisters and I made arrangements to buy it for Mom.
Interestingly the Profy's eventually rented the old Habadashery for an enlarged appliance store. For several years my parents, myself and first sister, Cissi lived in an apartment on the 2nd floor. Nanny lived on the third floor. At some point my father and Uncle Frank Mignoni bought out grandfather Gallagher partner's interest in the building. I always thought it curious how my father rented from his own partnership.
Ellen and Cis may have married Italians with strong traditional views of marriage and a woman's place in a relationship but both could be strong; some might say they allowed Vince and Frank to think they were in control. From my perspective, Mother was in charge of our house. As kids we had to listen (and sometimes fear) her. I only remember father getting upset once. He caught me; shook me; "don't annoy your mother" was the message.
In the 1960s, Cis opened a dress shop. It provided her four girls, my sisters, with fashionable clothes. It asserted her independence. Father's interest in travel was limited. To our amazement, Mom took off to Alaska with a local group. Later she would travel to Ireland. Father stayed home.
Mom life was cut short on December 10, 2008. She returned some books to the Grundy Library, a block from the apartment where she and my father lived. She was crossing the street to visit her sister Ellen and was the victim of a hit and run driver. She was 86 years old. Bagpipes were played at her burial, a sad reminder of her Celtic heritage. Aunt Ellen has since passed; Marie is the last living Gallagher girl. A trace of our Irish heritage.
When I think of mom I think of how she influenced my own curiosity and independence. Like the old woman in the painting, I see her sewing a piece of Ireland.
"May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. And rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand."
Delaware Canal Memories
March 10, 2018 vprofybristol, Delaware Canal, Yardley 2 Comments
For Christmas, Diane gave me "The Delaware Canal: from stone coal highway to historic landmark," by Marie Murphy Duess. It's a typical History Press (2008) imprint. There wasn't much new for me but refreshed many Canal memories.
I grew up near the Delaware canal and have lived near it most of my life. Currently the canal is across a back street beyond our yard. Since retirement, I walk on it several days a week. Growing up we lived in a Bristol Mill Street apartment over several store fronts owned by my grandfather. The area behind us was part of the canal basin, the end of the line for many coal filled canal boats. I have a foggy recollection of the basin being filled in during the early 1950s when the river was dredged to make way for iron ore ships headed for Fairless Steel, just south of Morrisville. The area became the Mill Street parking lot.
There was a small section of the canal with water at the head of Mill street. We played and fished it. I also remember falling in one day. Rather than being caught by my mother, I dried the wet clothes in a dryer in a wharehouse under our apartment. My family owned a General Electric appliance store on Mill. The wharehouse was filled with appliances. I'm not sure if I used a new dryer or one that was hooked up for my mother in a small laundry room. Whichever my fall in the canal was kept a secret.
Sometimes we walked the canal bed and towpath through town. A large section was filled in the 1950s to create land for the new Warren Snyder Elementary School. There were still coal bins along the right of way, for the canal or railroad spar that ran adjacent. Years later students in a Canal Camp that I organized interviewed Bristol residents about their canal memories. Carl Nelson, who was about 90 at the time, sheepishly admitted to one 5th grader that he was the contractor responsible for filling it the canal in Bristol. He no longer thought that it was a good idea. Beyond the school was a section of watered canal that flowed past the Grundy Mill into the Lagoon — a small town park today.
I have several clear memories of a Boy Scout canoe trip I took on the canal. Not sure where we started but the first night we camped right on the towpath near Woodside road. The Scudder's Falls bridge on I-95 had just been completed (1959) but was not yet opened for traffic. In the dark we climbed up on the bridge and walked out to the middle of the Delaware River. There must have been some lights but I remember it was extremely erie.
The last night on the way back we camped on the towpath in Washington Crossing State Park. It started to rain and I don't think we had tents, so we climbed under the canoes. The rain pinged on the the canoes but we were dry and them someone called out, "Hey guys, these canoes are aluminum, lightening you know!" I think we stayed under them.
At New Hope we crossed into the river. I'm not sure how far up river we traveled or where we slept the second night. I will nerver forget the cross back into the canal on our way home. We were dragging the canoes across a stretch of land at Chez Odette's — the same place we had crossed the day before. Only this time we heard a woman's shrill voice. "Get off my property, get off, you aren't allowed there." Our leaders informed us it was the French, singer-actress, Odette, who was opening a restaurant there. Even today when I drive past I can hear her scream.
The canal in the Bowman's Tower section of Washington Crossing State Park was a favorite Sunday family picnic spot. We would walk along the canal, climb Bowman's hill and tower. There was no elevator then. Father grilled hamburgers and hot dogs. I think picnics to this area ended after my mother was attacked by yellow jackets. Years later I saw aa amazingly large woodpecker there. A park employee told me, "Oh, that's our Pileated Woodpecker." The first and only time I ever saw one.
In 1970 Diane and I rented a house on Canal Street in Yardley. It was a small colonial next to the original Borough Hall and lock-up. We had been attending Quaker Meeting and met Sid Cadwallader who introduced us to the house and Helen Leedom who collected our rent from her desk in the lumber company at the head of the street along the canal.
Although we only lived in the house for just over a year, we have many pleasant memories. There was one of the earliest Harvest festivals on the street. A Bucks County Guild of Craftsmen woodcarver, Maurice Ganter, set up in front of our house. At the end of the day he gave us a small carved fish. It still hangs in our bedroom window. The house was charming with a workshop area ground level. I actually ran a small summer camp for about 6 students in the room (I was teaching elementary school at Saint Michael's in Levittown).
We had a fireplace and narrow curved steps that led to two rooms on the second floor. We hosted at least one large party. Diane bred and sold Labrador pups; the old library on Lake Afton was a favorite walk especially on cold snowy nights; we had a small flower garden. Our neighbors had a canoe that we were free to use. On our first canal trip we were attacked by young teens swimming near the Afton Avenue bridge. I seriously thought they were going to tip the canoe. We moved after deciding to rent a house in New Hope with John and Barbara Paglione.
Our Old York rental was outside of town but we frequently walked on the canal towpath. There were several shops and a canalside restaurant that we enjoyed. We could walk south to Washington Crossing or north to Center Bridge. We also discovered the Black Bass in Lumberville and the Golden Pheasant in Erwinna. For our budget these were expensive but we ate in them several times. We also took Many bike trips; sometimes riding for hours.
In 1977 Jenny was born, Paglione's moved to Ann Arbor, MI and we bought 121 N. Delaware Avenue in Yardley. Our property was river front and the canal was across the street (Morgan Avenue) from the back yard. Our access was through an empty lot or walking a block south to the Mary Yardley foot bridge. Built to access the trolley on Main Street and critical Today during floods. We pushed Jen in a baby carriage into town, walked and rode bikes on the towpath. Sometimes all the way to Bristol or north to New Hope. Jen had a kids' seat on the rear of Diane's bike. On one trip there was another attack near the College Avenue bridge. This time it was several Canada Geese.
Around 1980 I answered a local Yardley News ad — volunteers needed for Canal clean up. I remember Rick, the Council President, in a truck as we picked up trash along the canal. Near Lock 5 and the Railroad Bridge I pulled out an old tire, throwing it on top a pile of trash, it made a Courier Times photo op. Meeting a number of community leaders led me to apply to council for a position. I was initially appointed to an opening on the Cable TV Commission. Within a year I agreed to run for Borough Council.
I served eight years on Borough Council. My running mate was Susan Taylor who would get a position as Director of the Friends of the Delaware Canal. A position Susan still holds decades later. For about 10 plus years I became active in several community organizations — the Yardley Historical Association, Community Center, Friends of Lake Afton and I served on the board of the Friends of the Delaware Canal. There were many activities and issues. Sometimes I helped lead the annual Canal walks; clean up days; membership programs and annual auctions. I shot a lot of canal photographs.
In the 1990s I was hired by the Friends (with a State grant) to develop educational materials about the canal. The state educational interpreter was basically an environmental educator and the hope was that she could also be encouraged to do some historical interpretation. For two summers myself and an elementary science teacher, Trish Rienes, piloted a week long summer camp for 4th and 5th grade students. Trish and I spent a summer developing a variety of lessons and activities exploring the canal from Bristol to Easton.
Working on this project immersed me totally in the history and culture of the canal. It was a lot of fun and I think the kids involved in the camps had a great experience. We discovered a delightful age appropriate book, "Tune for the Towpath," and developed a variety of reading and language arts activities. We learned and then taught about material culture and archaeology related to the canal. We hired an art teacher to have kids make a paper mural while riding on a canal boat in New Hope. I interviewed a former lock tender and students interviewed senior Bristol residents related to growing up in that canal town. We developed and took kids on canal centric walking tours of Bristol,, Yardley and New Hope. We did environmental surveys of the canal and learned about local flora and fauna. We visited the Canal Museum in Easton and rode on the canal boat on the Lehigh Canal.
Trish took our canal curriculum back to Pen Ryn where she taught and Bonnie Tobin, the state educator, and a few others used some of the material. Our materials were given to the Friends but time passed and we never published the curriculum. Some years later a formal canal curriculum was published by another educator. I used many of the ideas, activities and lessons in a college class, Teaching Social Studies in Elementary School, that I taught for many years at Holy Family University. Hundreds of elementary school teachers learned about the Delaware Canal.
In recent years my canal related activity for the most part has settled into an easy pattern. I've enjoyed introducing my grandson, Eli to fishing in the canal. On his first time out several years ago he hooked a small sunny within ten minutes. His sister Viv provided the worm dug from our garden. Several years ago we turned our canoe into a fairy boat. Eli and Viv with their father competed in the canal festival boat decorating competition. We've also had flooding from the canal in early 2000s. The worse was in 2006 when canal and river met — our house was in the middle.
Since retirement in 2014, I try to walk most days and it is frequently along the canal. I'm slower but can walk to town (Eli and Viv like trips to Cramer's bakery) or I can head to lock 6, or Woodside road, sometimes to lock 7. Some days I'll take pictures to post on Facebook — changing seasons, birds and animals, water abstractions. Since my surgery I've been slower but try for an hour walk. Diane gets tired of the same route and frequently takes the dog for a drive-walk. The canal at Washington Crossing is a favorite. For the past few years we've enjoyed walking the canal in Yardley during Canal O Ween when locals compete and display hundreds of carved pumpkins. It's pretty amazing.
A drive along the canal and river is still an outing. We celebrated our 50 anniversary last year with a family brunch at the Black Bass. We've bought several original Bucks County oil paintings — several are canal scenes. And several times a year we go to the Mitchener, always enjoying Bucks County art, including canal paintings. As much as I enjoy to explore new things, I take total enjoyment in the familiar. Each step I take walking the canal evokes a memory.
This reminds me, I have a box of books and memorabilia about the canal in the basement that I need to sort and hundreds of slides. More memories.

La  de la course cycliste, le Tour des Flandres a eu lieu le  et a été remportée par le Belge Henri Van Lerberghe. Le Tour des Flandres revient après 5 ans d'absence dus à la Première Guerre mondiale. À partir de cette édition, il aura lieu chaque année, même pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Récit de course
Avant le départ de la course, Henri Van Lerberghe déclare sûr de lui au peloton qu'il allait lâcher tout le monde et s'imposer en solitaire. Van Lerberghe attaque alors qu'il reste encore 120 km à parcourir avec vent de face, dans ce qui ressemble à une attaque sans aucune chance de réussite. Au cours de son périple, il aperçoit un assistant avec un sac de nourriture prévu pour Marcel Buysse, puis le convainc de l'abandon de Buysse pour récupérer la nourriture. Plus tard, il doit poser pied à terre car un train est arrêté à un passage à niveau. Van Lerberghe n'attend pas le départ du train et décide d'entrer d'un côté dans un wagon avec son vélo pour sortir de l'autre côté. Juste avant d'entrer dans le vélodrome pour l'arrivée, Van Lerberghe s'arrête dans un bar pour prendre quelques bières. Son manager, paniqué qu'il manque une chance de victoire, se met à sa recherche et le fait revenir sur son vélo. Il atteint la ligne d'arrivée avec une marge de 14 minutes, la plus grande marge dans l'histoire du Tour des Flandres. Après avoir franchi la ligne et fait son tour d'honneur, Van Lerberghe déclare dans la foule et, en toute sincérité : .

Walker Back To Happiness (Season 1982/83)
Posted By Admin On July 3, 2012 @ 7:06 pm In All | Comments Disabled
"With the closed season now upon us, the CSG has decided to re-post some excellent articles (and pictures) that our friend 'Corby' put together many seasons back. We hope you enjoy them once again"
* Previous parts here [1]
Here is 'Part Eight'
82-83 season
Our 4th consecutive season in the 2nd division started with a visit to Cambridge, where they'd totally underestimated the amount of Chelsea that would turn up. Maybe they thought that after 3 seasons in the 2nd Division our tremendous away following would tail off a bit. Wrong. Very wrong. Chaos ensued at the turnstiles and on the terracing as 1,000's tried to gain entrance. We managed to squeeze our way to the back of the small terrace that was behind the away goal. The covered terrace to our left that ran along the side of the pitch soon became an overspill for Chelsea fans, many had simply climbed over the fences before Plod started letting more in through a gate to relieve the pressure a bit. Other fans had climbed on to the roof of that stand and sat down to get a perfect view of Pop Robsons very late winner. Cambridge later apologised for "trying to squeeze too many into a corner" Maybe Chelsea should've apologised for the various vegetables that were yet again lobbed over the wall from the allotments behind the away end…
The distant echo of faraway voices boarding faraway trains were me and a few my other Chelsea mates. Fed up of listening to our Spurs/Man U/Liverpool mates planning European trips, we boarded the train to Copenhagen to see Denmark v England in a Euro Championship Qualifier. It took us 1 ½ days to get there, after stopping over in Hamburg en route. Easyjet etc didn't exist, so the cheapest way was with a Transalpino train ticket.
The game was a 2-2 draw, whilst on the terracing the Danes and English fought running battles. We (removed for legal reasons) The fighting went on as we made our way back into the city centre, though by the time we got there, most Danes had disappeared. Later that night we sat in the Spunk Bar and watched a well known Chelsea face and his crew count a pile of money that was the result of raiding a Bar at the ground during half time…Whilst drinking in there well into the early hours, a few of the locals turned up and were very friendly. Some of them got quite drunk, and 2 of them announced to everyone that they were undercover Police who had been at the game, but were now off duty. When they left, there were followed by a large group of English. I sat inside and realised Hans and his mate should've kept quiet…
After the 'success' of the front cover of the Spurs FAC programme the previous season, Chelsea printed at similar warning for the one covering the visit of Leeds in early October…. "Dont be mug, don't be a thug"…. zzzzzzzz . Maybe they should've printed that warning on Tube tickets, as over 100 were arrested in fighting at Piccadily Circus before the game. I was on the tube that day, and when it pulled into Picc Circus it seemed half of the Met Plod were on the platform. I just thought there was some sort of left wing 'save the whale' demo going on, until some woman got on and I heard her say something about Chelsea fans. Fark me, have we started taking harpoons to games? The game finished 0-0, and saw most trouble in Gate 13 of the East Stand.
With 10 games gone we were mid table, things were as they'd been for the last few seasons. The football wasn't great, and when you got back to the Pub that night you'd find yourself being asked about any trouble that had occurred, instead of the actual game itself. Home games had became a routine, a bit boring to be honest. Away games though, now that was different. It had the excitement of being amongst 1,000's who would turn up at some Northern town, like Barnsley, Rotherham or Carlisle. It was great walking through these places, CHELSEA CHELSEA CHELSEA CHELSEA being sung over and over again as the locals were stare on at what seemed like an invading army. We'd take over their Pubs, as good as drink them dry, then leave some them in a 'different' condition to when we arrived… "Chelsea boys we are here, shag your women and drink your beer.."
Mickey Droy in the tunnel
Though it was great at away games, actually getting to or from one could be a bit dodgy if you didn't travel in numbers up from London. On the way back from Huddersfield for the FAC 3 game in January, I had to change trains at Leeds for one to Sheffield. The vast majority of Chelsea stayed on the Kings Cross bound train and I made my way over to the other platform. Standing on the platform I heard someone shout "OI! YOU! You northern farking w*nker" I turned round and some Chelsea lads on the train I'd just got off, thought I was a "northerner" and started giving me quite a bit of verbal. "You 4 eyed karnt"
I moved towards the edge of the platform and was about to show them my little round Chelsea badge that I'd put on the inside of my jacket when about 20/30 Leeds fans came along and started giving verbal back and throwing things at the windows. By then it seemed the whole train was hanging out the windows, I stood there hoping no one would recognise me as Chelsea! Plod eventually came along and I found myself pushed out of the station and told 'not to return'. Sod that, I watched the Leeds fans disappear back into town and then scaled a fence and just caught the Sheffield train as it started to pull out.
At Sheffield I bought the evening sports newspaper (the Green 'un?) and laughed as it told how Chelsea's hooligans had ran the home end at Huddersfield and then, much to the dismay of the reporter, had "jumped back into the terracing and sadly chased the home supporters for a second time" It was funny to watch, the Police had taken the Chelsea out of the home end and while escorting them along the side of the pitch to the away end, loads of Huddersfield had gone to the front of the massive terrace that ran along the side of Leeds Rd to shout abuse. They soon retreated when Chelsea jumped back into the terracing! I've seen many incidents of 'trouble' at Chelsea games over the years, and maybe 'funny' isnt the right word. But it was!!!!!!!
'Trouble' also occurred when we went up to Derby for the 4th round. The previous week Leeds fans had ripped "1 or 2" seats out at the Baseball Ground. When the train pulled into Derby station we realised by the amount of Plod around that they were intent on herding us all up straight into the ground. We got off and quickly dived into the Buffet on the platform, sat down and watched as all the other Chelsea were rounded up and 'snaked' up to the ground. When the platform was clear, we casually walked out of the station and found a Pub.
A couple of pints was followed by a couple of scuffles as we made our way up to the ground. The Baseball ground was probably one of the most depressing grounds around. Outside it all seemed to be clad in rusty corrugated steel sheets, painted blue for some reason. Inside the Stands sat at an odd angle to the pitch. We stood along the side, and were happily looking forward to a replay, the score being 1-1 as we moved well into injury time. Seconds later, future Chelsea player Kevin Wilson scored to make it 2-1. As the ball hit the net, the sky filled with seats that were being ripped out from the stand behind the goal. Players and Police ran for cover as the seats flew towards the pitch. Some seats fell onto the Chelsea standing behind the goal, they were simply lobbed onto the pitch! As we were escorted back to he station, some Plod kept saying over and over "you're not Hooligans, just bad losers"…. Knob.
By coincidence the following week we were at home to Derby in the League, a pathetic 8,661 of us watched a 3-1 defeat. As we were falling towards the relegation zone our home crowds were also falling. Early season we were getting around 14,000. By February we were scraping 8,500, and for my birthday game in March v Carlisle I sat in a very empty Stamford Bridge. 6,677 sad but loyal souls saw a 4-2 win. That win v Carlisle was our last for 2 months. Home defeats by Barnsley (3-0) QPR (2-0) and Newcastle (2-0) saw us plummet from 13th to 17th. When Burnley beat us 3-0 at Turf Moor we fell into the relegation zone for the first time. I've often wondered why people live in Burnley, its such a hole. Still better than Middlesboro…
Keith Jones
Times were bad, there didn't seem to be any effort being put into the games by the players, and I found it very hard to motivate myself to get up and go to the games. It wasn't much fun standing in a crowd of 8/9000 in a damp Stamford Bridge watching bottom of Division 2 football. Resigned to relegation, I'd start looking at the teams in Division 3, counting how many 'new' grounds I'd get in"!
We were now at the lowest point in our history, but we still turned up in the hope of avoiding relegation. Less than 9,000 saw Rotherham come and take a point, then just over 10,000 saw Sheff Wed do the same. With 2 games left –away at Bolton and home to Middsboro- we were staring Division 3 in the face. Also in my face were my mates up the Pub, they were happy as fark, floating around at the top of Division 1 and having jollies off in Europe. Horrible times, having the pee taken out of me week in, week out with nothing to throw back at them.
The night before Bolton away I went out up the Pub, as I'd done every Friday all season. A few pints..a few pints…a few pints…and I woke up Saturday morning. Late Saturday morning. Very late Saturday morning. To my horror it had gone 11am. A quick wash and I got a cab to Kettering station, 8 miles away. Things got worse as we got stuck behind a tractor or something on the road.
Arriving at Kettering at around 11.45 I enquired if I could still get to Bolton for 3pm. The following words have haunted me since.."the earliest you'll get to Bolton is 16.10, and that's if all the connections run good" Fark!!! I then remembered Leicester were at Oldham, so I rang my mate up to see if I could scrounge a lift with them in the car. Oldham wasn't too far from Bolton. His Mum said they left an hour ago. At the time I was of course peeved off, but sadly smiled at the knowledge that I'd been to Bolton a few times before, I wasn't missing a new ground, and anyway, they'd be plenty of them next season in Divison 3 after we'd been relegated.
On the bus home I was sick, luckily I had the top deck to myself so no one saw Fridays drink make a violent reappearance. The curse of Bolton and alcohol had struck yet again, I'd missed the 1978 "3-0 down 4-3 up"game due to being hung over, and now nearly 5 years later I still hadnt learned the lesson. Home and into the shower, Mum gave me the "serves you right" sermon. I retired to my bed and lay there dying as the news filtered through that Clive Walker had scored the only goal and Chelsea had won 1-0 up at a rain sodden Burnden Park. I quickly worked out if we were safe from relegation, and to my horror we could still go down.
The following week was worry week. One of the Nationals done a 'fall from grace' article about us, how we'd gone from 70's cup kings to staring at life in Division 3. It was really starting to sink in now, trips beckoned to Newport, Exeter and Lincoln, whilst my mates all had European football to look forward to…again.
I still went out on the Friday before the last game of the season, but made sure I didn't get in another drunken state! On the train down for the Middlesboro game the following morning I studied the league table, the bottom 10 were seperated by a sad 4 points. We were 15th with 46, 3 points above bottom placed Burnley. I sat there, predicting the scores….they'll get beat by them….. they'll get a draw at there…. they'll win that…..I worked out that even if Middlesboro beat us we could still stay up!!
Programme cover
As I took my normal place in the Shed up by the West, I tried to picture a Chelsea v Exeter Division 3 game being played in front of a crowd of 3,001. The '1' would be me, I was still going to go Chelsea even if we ended up relegated that day. I would've avoided the Pub though…
The support was great, very vocal from start to finish. Those there that day knew what was at stake, though the Bolton game had took a lot of pressure off us and gave us some badly needed hope. Deep down I knew we could get relegated, but surely it couldn't happen to us, cos we are the Chelsea and we are best, we are the Chelsea so fark all the rest… A 0-0 draw saw both teams 'saved' from Divison 3.
On May 14th 1977 we'd invaded the pitch to celebrate winning promotion to Division 1. On May 14th 1983 we invaded it to celebrate not getting relegated to Division 3. In those 6 years of following Chelsea there had been a few ups, but far too many downs, what would 83-84 bring? Master Ken Bates said in his programme notes that day that some of the current squad were "simply not good enough". In John Neal notes, he said he "hopes to strengthen our squad"…………Along the M4 at Reading, Kerry Dixon had just been relegated to Division 4….

Gina Cigna
Gina Cigna (6 March 1900 – 26 June 2001[1]) was a French-Italian dramatic soprano.
Studio recordings
Gina Cigna was born in Angers, department of Maine-et-Loire, to parents of Italian origin. She trained as a pianist at the Paris Conservatory studying with Alfred Cortot and graduated with a gold medal. She then started a career as a recitalist. She met French tenor Maurice Sens, whom she married in 1923, and following his advice turned to singing. She took private lessons with Emma Calvé, Hariclea Darclée and Rosina Storchio, but was mostly self-taught.
She made her debut as Geneviève Sens in 1927 at the Teatro alla Scala, in Milan, as Freia in Das Rheingold, and sang minor roles in Boris Godunov and Ariane et Barbe-Bleue under Arturo Toscanini, without much success.
Two years later, still at La Scala, but this time under the name Gina Cigna, she sang the role of Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni, and this time it was a triumph. A few weeks later she appeared as Elisabeth in Tannhäuser.
She was to sing regularly at La Scala until 1945, quickly establishing herself as one of the leading Italian dramatic soprano alongside Maria Caniglia in operas such as Il Trovatore, Un ballo in maschera, La forza del destino, Aida, Andrea Chénier, and Tosca.
She recorded Norma in 1937 and Turandot, opposite Francesco Merli, with Magda Olivero as Liù, in 1938, both for Cetra Records. She sang at the Paris Opéra, the Royal Opera House in London, the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the San Francisco Opera, and the New York Metropolitan Opera, where she made her debut on 6 February 1937 as Aida.
Cigna's career came to a halt in 1948 when she was involved in a serious car accident and suffered a heart attack. Forced to retire from singing, she turned to teaching. In 1996 at the age of 96 she appeared in Jan Schmidt-Garre's film Opera Fanatic.
Cigna died in Milan, Italy, on 26 June 2001, aged 101.

It is normal for age to begin to notice the passage of time, especially on our face. This is because the skin gradually stops producing the necessary collagen to maintain the smoothness and firmness that characterizes young skin. The frequency of regeneration decreases by accumulating dead cells in the epidermis which generates fine lines. That becomes wrinkles once they increase in depth. It is therefore important to consider anti-aging practices as part of your daily routine.
Exercise benefits the body in a large number of ways. It keeps you in shape, helps you stay toned, and helps you lose excess fat. It also helps keep the heart, lungs and other organs younger and healthier which results in a slower aging process. It has a positive benefit in your mind too. Also, when you exercise intensively it helps to increase your production of HGH (human growth hormone) and that definitely plays a role in staying younger.
Eating a diet that is full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals is a great way to help maintain a look and feel younger. A healthy diet increases your energy and your vitality. It helps to guard against free radicals that are responsible for wrinkles, aging organs, and diseases. So the next time you're thinking about a quick meal, a salad that's full of fresh vegetables is recommended.
HGH is produced in the pituitary gland but by the age of 30 years our pituitary gland produces less and as a result, begin to see the signs of aging, including loss of energy, loss of libido, weight gain, especially in the abdomen, loss of muscle mass, heart disease, decreased bone density, high blood pressure, wrinkles, and a number of other symptoms related to aging.
Taking an HGH supplement helps the body produce more HGH and when that happens, the aging process stops and even the signs of aging are reversed. When you combine an HGH supplement with exercise and a healthy diet it makes you enjoy maximum benefit.
Do not confuse HGH injections with HGH supplements. HGH injections inject synthetic HGH into the body and require a doctor and a prescription. It is required only in the most severe cases of deficiency. HGH supplements are a powerful blend of natural substances that help the body produce more natural HGH and are what most people require.
There are all kinds of lifestyle choices that in the age you have to drink too much, smoking, inactive lifestyle and stress. These are all things to keep in mind in your life to help reduce aging. Drinking and smoking cause organ aging and the appearance of wrinkles. It also affects the mental capacity.
Aging is all about the attitude. By keeping your mind young, active and alive, you will really look and feel years younger than your chronological age, and doing so is good for your overall health as well.

Q: Drools How to get ruleContext in when or conditions? I have a requirement to get rule name in my custom function where I use it for some processing , Below code is how I'm trying to do.
 If this is not possible directly, is there an alternative .
BTW currently we are using Drools 5.6
 import org.drools.spi.KnowledgeHelper;
            function boolean printRuleName(KnowledgeHelper context ) {
                System.out.println(context.getRule().getName());
              return true;
             }

            // rule values at C15, header at C10

            rule "MY_RULE_15"
                salience 65521
                when

                    k:StatefulKnowledgeSession(true == "true")
                    //context: KnowledgeHelper(true=="true")
                    m:Map(true == "true")
                    Map((printRuleName(kcontext) == "true")

                then
                    System.out.println(kcontext.getRule().getName());
    //this works in action
        end
        //Map((printRuleName(kcontext) == "true") this is causing null pointer exception, kcontext is not getting injected

A: There is no rule context on the left hand side of a rule, i.e., during condition evaluation.
If you really need the rule name on the left hand side (which isn't going to be useful anyway) you'll have to write string literal containing the rule's name as a parameter.
I suggest that the reason for having this requirement is reviewed.
Note that printRuleName(kcontext) == "true" is never going to be true as it compares a boolean with a String. Also, comparing true == "true" doesn't make any sense.

4Now John wore clothing of camel's hair with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey. 5Then the people of Jerusalem and all Judea were going out to him, and all the region along the Jordan, 6and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
7But when he saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, 'You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8Bear fruit worthy of repentance. 9Do not presume to say to yourselves, "We have Abraham as our ancestor"; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham. 10Even now the axe is lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

For about a half hour, Minding the Gap lulls you into a false sense of security. The opening passages of the documentary introduce us to two Rockfort skaters, Zack and Keire; Zack is a young father struggling to support his family, while Keire is a timid teenager who becomes increasingly desperate to leave the city. The film intercuts stories of their troubled youths with incredible footage of them skating around the streets of Rockfort.
While Keire and Zack still reel from the abuse their fathers inflicted upon them as children, they rhapsodize about the escapist nature of skateboarding. More importantly, it allows them to bond with one another, creating a valuable support network. At this stage, the documentary appears to be a warm, if gritty celebration of the sport and sub-culture.
That would be an easier film to make, and judging from the opening act, not without its pleasures. Director Bing Liu combines early home videos of his friends with breathtaking montages of the boys performing all kinds of skating feats, reinforcing the seemingly carefree nature of youth.
But as the film develops, you realize that Liu has bigger concerns in mind. Zack and Keire's abusive childhoods are brought into sharper relief, as well as Liu's own history with his violent stepfather. Gradually it becomes apparent that some of these men are doomed to repeat the mistakes of their fathers. It's an interesting bait-and-switch; you're expecting an empowering film about skating, but instead you get a thorny exploration of toxic masculinity.
Rather than causing him to pull his punches, Liu's friendship with his subjects makes Minding the Gap all the more difficult to watch. Though he exhibits compassion and acknowledges the cycles of abuse, Liu never excuses their behaviour. The film is defined by the creeping realization that your closest friends aren't just human, but capable of causing great pain and anguish.
Sadly, some stories are more developed than others. The film constantly hints that Keire has inherited his father's explosive temper, but bar some outtakes of him destroying skateboards, we never see it. Ling occasionally touches on Keire's blackness in the mostly white world of Rockfort skating, but it seems like an obligation rather than anything the director is truly interested in. Ultimately Keire feels more like a counter-point to other stories, rather than having a fully realized narrative of his own.
Minding the Gap is screening at the Irish Film Institute, Dublin from Friday 22nd March.
