Elon University is a private, coeducational and comprehensive university. Founded in 1889 by the Christian Church (now United Church of Christ), it is the third largest of North Carolina's 36 private colleges and universities.
During the 1980s, Elon experienced a decade of unprecedented growth. During this time, applications doubled and enrollment increased 35 percent, making Elon one of the fastest- growing institutions in the region. Dozens of academic and student life programs were added to enrich the quality of an Elon education. Special classes and volunteer programs were developed to provide students with leadership and service opportunities. In fall 1984, the university began offering a Master of Business Administration degree through the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business. In fall 1986, a Master of Education degree was added, and in 1997, a Master of Physical Therapy degree program was established. In 2003, the Doctor of Physical Therapy replaced the MPT. The Elon University School of Law opened in fall 2006. The Master of Arts in Interactive Media program was established in fall 2009. The Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies program began in January 2013. The Master of Science in Management program enrolled its inaugarual class fall 2015. Elon's newest graduate program is the Master of Science in Accounting, enrolling in spring 2018 and the Master of Arts in Higher Education , which is set to enroll in fall 2018.
Also during the '80s and '90s, the university's physical plant grew. Total campus acreage doubled, square footage of buildings increased and significant new facilities were added, including Carol Grotnes Belk Library, featuring 75,000 square feet with more than 100 computers, networked study rooms and multimedia and audiovisual stations; Dalton L. McMichael Sr. Science Center, providing 81,000 square feet of research laboratories, high-tech instrumentation and computer technology; Moseley Campus Center, a 74,000-square-foot student center; and Koury Center, a physical education, athletics and recreation complex. In the early part of the new century, Elon opened Rhodes Stadium, Belk Track, White Field and five pavilions in the Academic Village.
In the summer of 2006, Elon opened the three-story, 60,000-square-foot Ernest A. Koury, Sr. Business Center, home of Elon's Martha and Spencer Love School of Business. The Center includes the LaRose Digital Theatre; the LabCorp Suite for Executive Education; the William Garrard Reed Finance Center with real-time data from global financial markets; the Doherty Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership; the Chandler Family Professional Sales Center and the James B. and Anne Ellington Powell Lobby.
In the summer of 2009, Elon renovated the second floor of Powell Building to become the home of the Master of Arts in Interactive Media program. The Powell Interactive Media Suite houses a state-of-the-art computer laboratory/production facility and classroom. It includes five editing suites and a graduate study center and a lounge. The suite also houses DSLR cameras, which shoot still photos and high definition video. Offices for interactive media faculty are also located in the Powell Interactive Media Suite. Additionally, high-definition cameras, audio recorders, lighting kits, booms and other equipment to produce interactive media are available for checkout from the School of Communications.
In April 2011, the Elon University Board of Trustees established the School of Health Sciences. The school is housed in the Gerald L. Francis Center, a renovated space that opened in December 2011 and includes classrooms, lab facilities, meeting and office space.

Rising inflation will hurt some consumers for sure, but consumption per se is growing, thanks to the wider affluence a strong economy is creating.
The fear that short selling by institutional investors may tank an already depressed market may not come true after all.
The statutory body, which is supposed to regulate higher education in the country, is a sclerotic, bureaucratic organisation that is, instead, vitiating the atmosphere of technical education in India. In the past, it has been often accused of approving institutions with questionable credentials even as some of India's premier institutes have found it difficult to gain recognition.

Predictions by most analysts point to a slower GDP growth. Inflation (7.41 per cent at the end of March) is causing concern.
Caution is back in boardroom discussions in corporate India. There is still optimism, but irrational exuberance—a phrase popularised by Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the US Federal Reserve—has, for all practical purposes, gone out of the picture.

Baker Who Made "Build That Wall" Cookie Deserves Our FULL Support!
Ken Bellingham is the owner of Edmonds Bakery.
He made headlines last week after he made a "Build That Wall" cookie for fun on Valentines Day.
Some took offense, and he issued an apology.
But after thinking about it, he changed his mind and said he has nothing to apologize for.
Don't worry, we've got your back right along with 70 MILLION "Deplorables"!
The owner of Edmonds Bakery is apologizing following social media uproar over politically-charged Valentine's Day cookies.
Ken Bellingham says he's responsible for the cookie in question – a pink heart frosted with "Build that Wall." The cookie was in his display case Thursday. He said he only made one of the design.
But he says he's been making the style of Valentine's cookies – some more suggestive than others – for years.
The "Build that Wall" cookie is getting more attention online.
The Build that Wall cookie on Carrera's phone. She snapped the picture Thursday.
The issue began when Ana Carrera visited the store Thursday, took a picture of the cookie, and shared it on Facebook.
"It's hard to see words like that," she said.
Hard, she said, because it felt personal. Her parent fled Mexico for the U.S. in the 80s, fearing the drug cartels.
It's why she finds it to be such an offensive phrase.
"You say something with enough hate – you chant it, you have white supremacists, the alt-right chanting it – it's going to become racial," she said.
He told KING 5 he meant it to be a joke – not a political statement on behalf of the bakery.
Then he wised up and realized he had NOTHING to apologize for.
Bellingham, who's owned the Edmonds Bakery for 26 years, initially apologized for designing and selling the "Build the Wall" cookie last week.
Others KOMO spoke with on Thursday said this baker's decision to sell the cookies does not reflect the character of the Edmonds business community.
"We cannot condone this type of behavior and business practices not only in Edmonds but anywhere in the country," said an Edmonds businessman who asked to remain anonymous.
Bellingham said he does support border security but would not go as far as to say he supported a wall.
In the end, he said his decision to sell the 'Build the Wall' cookies was a business decision, rather than a political one.
"People should lighten up," said Bellingham, as he etched 'Lighten Up' on a heart-shaped cookie.


Years of campaigning by trade union and labour rights organizations around the world have forced major apparel brands to acknowledge that the workers who make their products are entitled to wages that meet their basic needs by local standards. The focus has now shifted to pressuring brands to put their living wage policies into practice.
Throughout the global garment export industry, the fundamental human right of workers to freedom of association (FOA) and collective bargaining is routinely violated by employers and severely restricted or prohibited by law.
MSN has been working with Mexican and international stakeholders to tackle widespread systemic barriers to workers' rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining in Mexico and the failure of Mexican government institutions to protect and enforce this fundamental right at the workplace.
Since 2005, MSN has been working with Bangladeshi and international allies to expose and remedy unsafe working conditions in the country's garment industry and to pressure international brands to compensate the survivors of factory disasters and eliminate unsafe conditions and practices in their supplier factories.

Reaction Dynamics partners with Precious Payload to offer non-ITAR-restricted launches via Launch.ctrl platform
Filed under Commerce, Precious Payload, Reaction Dynamics
Precious Payload, the leading online world marketplace for satellite launches, and Canadian rocket company Reaction Dynamics (RDX) join forces to offer satellite operators affordable, eco-friendly launches via the Launch.ctrl platform, using a state-of-the-art hybrid rocket. Aurora-1, Reaction Dynamics' demonstration launch vehicle, is expected to make its first suborbital flight later this year.
Watch an interview with Bachar Elzein, CEO and CTO of Reaction Dynamics:
With its cutting-edge additive manufacturing capabilities, RDX builds economically efficient and eco-friendly commercial rockets. The company aims to offer launch services to provide routine access to space for satellites and research payloads in the safest, most sustainable, and most affordable way. Its proprietary, patent-pending, hybrid propulsion technology meets the performance needed for orbital launch while being less expensive, safer, and more sustainable than traditional liquid rockets used by the vast majority of rocket companies.
"We are very excited to work with the leader in the launch industry in Canada to give international customers the option to launch from North America without the strict regulations and logistical challenges of working with US sites," commented Andrew Maximov, CEO and founder of Precious Payload. For example, even the process of obtaining US visas for international satellite teams can delay a launch for months or even permanently ground a project. "Furthermore, Reaction Dynamics manufactures non-ITAR-restricted launch vehicles that can be exported to a number of countries not previously served by US manufacturers, making it possible to launch from almost anywhere in the world."
Reaction Dynamics partners both with Canadian and international launch sites to ensure very short lead times. If one site is crowded, RDX can easily switch to another and get the payload into space with minimal delays. Its rockets are designed to be easily shipped in containers, either by air or sea, which gives even more flexibility when it comes to launching from multiple orbital inclinations and various sites.
"Precious Payload has quickly established itself as the international online platform of choice for orbital launch bookings," said Bachar Elzein, CEO and CTO of Reaction Dynamics. "Its Launch.crtl platform minimizes costs and development timelines while maximizing launch schedule reliability and mission assurance. It was a natural fit for Reaction Dynamics to be present on this platform, given the complementary nature of our two offerings."
Beyond simply functioning as a marketplace for satellite launches, Launch.ctrl templates for mission description and the workplace for team collaboration bridge the gap between payload engineers and an LP's business development, sales, marketing, and launch-management teams.
Earlier this year, Precious Payload successfully introduced a new version of its commercial launch schedule and released individual pages for launch and hosted payload providers, their vehicles, and upcoming missions (with all available launch service operators including brokers, commercial spaceports, and OTVs). Using Precious Payload's Launch.ctrl platform, any payload developer can find the best commercial launch or hosted payload solution for their instrument or experiment.
About Precious Payload
Precious Payload is a US/UAE/German space tech company that developed Launch.ctrl, a marketplace for satellite operators looking to book a launch and the related services needed to get their payloads off the ground and into space.
About Reaction Dynamics
Founded in 2017, Reaction Dynamics (RDX) is a rocket company with a mission to enable routine access to space by launching the most eco-friendly, safe, and affordable rockets ever created. It has developed a revolutionary hybrid launch technology that dramatically reduces the environmental impact of reaching space, compared to current technologies. This advancement has the potential to enable regular and affordable access to orbit. Aurora, Reaction Dynamics' first small launch vehicle, is currently undergoing qualification testing. Its first suborbital flight is expected to occur later this year.

Try doing /testforblock in the execute command instead of the detect. You will have to have a comparator output on the /execute command block that then completes the action, but the /testforblock allows you to add data tags unlike the detect function of the execute command. I hope this helped!

In the words of Drunvalo Melchizedek, a modern Master of sacred geometry, "The Flower of Life symbol is considered to be sacred among many cultures around the world, both ancient and modern. Within this symbol can be found all the building blocks of the universe that we call the Platonic Solids. The symbol can be used as a metaphor to illustrate the connectedness of all life and spirit within the universe. The Platonic Solids are important because they are found in the rudimentary construction of organic life, as well as music, language, and consciousness itself. In the Flower of Life workshop we show how these building blocks of life called the Platonic Solids serve as templates through which the foundation of all life everywhere can be expressed. Once this is understood, the importance of the Flower of Life becomes apparent as a totally integrated expression of 'God' or 'All That Is.'"

Florida State is really good. I'm not sure there's another team in the country you could call definitively better than the Seminoles, who have physically intimidating size and athleticism all over the floor.
But Gonzaga was an eight-point favorite on Thursday night and covered with a 72–58 win. It was chippy all night but the Bulldogs took the 'Noles' best shot and got redemption for when FSU knocked Gonzaga out in the same spot last season.
It was the type of win that can fuel a team going forward, namely in this game, two days later that represents a chance to go to the Final Four.
Two years ago, Gonzaga reached its first Final Four and National Title game in school history. This year, it feels like the 'Dogs are legitimate favorites to win their first ever National Championship, unless that team of freshman from Durham spoil the party.
Texas Tech was really good in the first half against Michigan on Thursday night and downright dominant in the second. The Red Raiders tallied a 19-point win to advance to their second regional final in a row.
Last year, it felt like Tech stretched as far it could go in getting to the Elite Eight before losing to the eventual National Champions, Villanova.
It kind of feels the same way this season. Michigan didn't play well on Thursday and it was a nice matchup for Tech, at least in the sense that the Wolverines didn't have any major mismatches to attack.
Texas Tech's bigs are solid, even more than solid. That said, they haven't faced many guys like Rui Hachimura and Killian Tillie. Both can put it on the floor, step outside, and hit from the perimeter. That really puts a lot of stress on even some of the best bigs at the collegiate level.
Then there's how Tech scores enough to keep up with the Zags, who are so well balanced on offense. There'll be a lot of onus on Jarrett Culver to hit at least 25 in this game. He's been a star all season but if the Zags can key in on a guy, and they will key in on Culver, it's really hard.
Over is 14-2 in TTU last 16 Sat. games.
Under is 19-7 in TTU last 26 neutral site games.
Over is 11-4 in GONZ last 15 Sat. games.
GONZ are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 vs. Big 12.
Free Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders NCAAB Prediction: Gonzaga gets back to the Final Four with a double-digit win.
There just aren't any cracks in this team. The bigs are relentless and flexible enough to switch out onto the perimeter. The guards are smart and quick. I've had Gonzaga going all the way and what they've shown me so far has me thinking nothing to the contrary. The Zags will be tested but, at the same time, shouldn't have much trouble passing.

For the past decade, smart home technology has been viewed as something that only the incredibly wealthy, or incredibly technologically aware, possess. High prices, complicated installations, and intricate technology have contributed to the belief that a completely automated home was something reserved for movie superhero alter-egos of the Clark Kent variety, and millionaires. Recently, however, the rapid proliferation of mobile internet and smartphones, along with an increasing number of companies choosing to invest in more user intuitive home automation products, has made the idea of a "smart home" more attainable than ever.

Coppinger of Jutland
Captain Cuthbert Coppinger DSC RN the commanding officer of HMS King Alfred, the RNVR training station, in the middle of the front row with his dog training staff and trainees in 1945
I and three others lived in a cottage in Twyford Hampshire for our last year at Southampton University in 1969. In the other half of the sprawling brick and flint building lived Captain Cuthbert Coppinger RN Retd.
Captain Coppinger told us he had been at the Battle of Jutland (31st May 1916). After the Great War he attended a reconstruction of the battle using German records. He asked a moderator 'What is that ship over there on its own in the German Fleet?' The moderator said 'HMS Canterbury'. 'Good Lord,' said Captain Coppinger, 'I was the navigating officer on HMS Canterbury'.
Light cruiser HMS Canterbury that fought at Jutland on 31st May 1916. Lieutenant Cuthbert Coppinger RN was awarded the DSC for his conduct as navigating officer of the ship during the battle
It was a good story. What Captain Coppinger did not tell us was that he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his conduct at Jutland as the navigating officer of the ship that led one of Admiral Hood's advance light cruiser squadrons.
Part of the crew of HMS Canterbury in 1916: Lieutenant Cuthbert Coppinger DSC RN is not obviously in the photograph
The citation stated that the award of the DSC was for 'navigating the ship in the coolest manner from a very exposed position under extremely heavy fire'.
In the 1930s Captain Coppinger was the Senior Royal Navy Officer on the North China Station on HMS Capetown. From this service he was awarded the French Order of Maritime Merit for the rescue of survivors of the steamer 'Yolande' wrecked on the coast of Shantung on 6th March 1938.
Battleship HMS Malaya commanded by Captain Cuthbert Coppinger RN in 1941
During the Second World War Captain Coppinger commanded HMS Malaya, the Queen Elizabeth class battleship that took a considerable hammering at Jutland as one of Admiral Evan-Thomas's Fifth Battle Squadron.
At the end of the Second World War Captain Coppinger was the last commanding officer of HMS King Alfred the training station for RNVR officers, Brighton Swimming Baths in peaceful times.
Captain Coppinger died a few years after we had known him at Twyford. He had a voice like a foghorn and was a committed Catholic. His booming voice could be heard across the garden addressing a pair of questing Jehovah's Witnesses 'And do you go to church like we do?'

The biggest news in TV this week could be Hulu's continued ad innovations, or Viacom working with T-Mobile or Comscore's executive exodus — (though that is a massive ad tech story). Or pay TV declines (that may be slowing?). Or even Accenture buying Droga5 and how that reflects the new integrated ad economy including TV.
But if I'm a betting man on , the biggest news was the scoop from Cheddar that Amazon is launching a Roku competitor. Not just because Amazon has a massive war chest and is eating main street (and littering it's recycling bins with too many damn boxes!).
It's massive news because if you think about it, Amazon has what everyone is chasing– first party, opt-in data and rich data. And not just consent, or email data but purchase behaviors; from stores, online, mobile apps and viewing data from Fire sticks and devices. They can link my penchant for avocados and chocolate (problem) to the fact that Mrs Maisel is a hit in our home and that my 11 year old son reads more than me.
That matters because with privacy issues looming, having a solid, multi-touch opt-in footprint gives Amazon the ability to deliver EXTREMELY addressable ads. Like–odds are you're out of toothpaste so we'll introduce a new brand at this ad break- kind of ads.
That type of lower funnel, purchase behavior advertising is why we're so bullish on companies like Downstream that don't just help brands target ads on Amazon but help companies sync cost of production for said products against demand, and cost of advertising, in real time. Advertising out at the point of discovery is great on TV, or Google or Facebook. Brand messaging at the digital register where most purchase decisions are actually made is an entirely different dimension of the conversion cycle. And as those TV ads become clickable, who are you going to trust more to get your package to your door tomorrow? No one more than Amazon. Period.
This closed-loop TV advertising system sets a new bar for OTT advertising and TV advertising in general. There is no need for third-party data set matching and externally enriched segment modeling, is there?
There are one-to-one marketing capabilities baked in, if not from day one, then not long thereafter. How does Roku (which lost money on the announcement) compete with that, let alone the broadcasters?
This is why Project OAR in particular is so important. For networks to compete in the new world, there needs to be an addressable standard that gives networks the ability to deliver targeted ads at the household level, using the proprietary technology stacks each designed around the assets in each's arsenal. One size will never fit all if competition is to thrive. But, having a standard for enabling are the networks' best hope of being more dynamic in their ad offerings down to the device.
For an industry built on a one-to-many model, Amazon's hammer drop just reminded everyone: tomorrow's marketing for TV will be extremely addressable and those who are not machine-learned, data-enriched will likely perish.

I love the old school Napa feel at the core of this wine. It smells and tastes like some of the great California wines from the 60s and 70s only with better farming and oak treatment. The first thing that greets you here is the savory character of the varietal. Due in equal parts to the greatness of the Larkmead site and the uniqueness of the Olmo clone, the modernness of the framing of this wine is meant only as a complement to its traditional center. Damp soil, bay leaves, black walnut and tobacco leaf begin the aromatic profile. Tasting it from tank a week before bottling, it reminded me of the mid-90s Araujo Eisele Vineyard wines. The palate takes on a dusty, minty character featuring plum, cedar and cassis. There's a stuffing to this wine that has been lacking in years past. The vintage gets a lot of the credit for that. This is the new benchmark for our Calistoga bottling.
A barrel sample, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Herb Lamb Vineyard sports a very deep purple-black color and exuberant nose of crushed wild blueberries, red and black cherries and black plums with touches of dried sage, garrigue, tilled soil and chargrill plus a waft of pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is vivacious, refreshing and savory, featuring red and black fruits and framed by fine-grained tannins, finishing long and earthy.

How Much Would War in Syria Cost?
Defense budgets are out of control. Adding another war won't help.
Veronique de Rugy | From the December 2013 issue
The United States in August and September began considering in earnest whether or not to become militarily involved in Syria. There are many tough and contentious questions about that decision, but one fact is undeniable: It would be expensive.
In a 2010 paper, Stephen Daggett of the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service estimated the costs of all major U.S. wars expressed in contemporary dollars, from the American Revolution through the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. With the caveat that comparing war costs over a 230-year period is "inherently problematic" because the definition of war has varied and official numbers have included and measured different things over time, and also "because of the difficulties in comparing prices from one vastly different era to another," Daggett nonetheless concludes that the trend is clear: Wars aren't cheap.
According to his estimates, the American Revolution cost $2.4 billion (all numbers are in constant FY2011 dollars), World War I cost $334 billion, World War II cost $4.1 trillion, and the Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined have cost around $1.1 trillion and growing.
The price tag on the proposed intervention in Syria is unclear. According to a Congressional Research Service report published in September, "the cost of any military intervention could range widely depending on the type and length of U.S. military actions, the participation of U.S. allies, and Syrian and Syrian-allied responses." Estimates range from $500 million initially to train, advise, and assist opposition forces in a safe area outside Syria, to as much as $12 billion dollars a year to use military force to establish either a no-fly zone that would prevent the regime from using its aircraft or a buffer zone to protect border areas next to Turkey or Jordan.
If history is any guide we can expect that direct military spending will be grossly underestimated. Take the 2003 war in Iraq. Mitch Daniels, then the director of the Office of Management and Budget, predicted that the war in Iraq would cost $50 to $60 billion, including the costs of reconstruction and clean-up. President Bush's economic advisor Larry Lindsey got canned for suggesting that it could cost as much as $100 billion. But as of 2013, the Cost of War Project estimates that Department of Defense (DOD) appropriations for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined has already reached $1.4 trillion. On top of DOD appropriations, the total costs of the Iraq war alone-including war-related expenses through 2013-is about $1.7 trillion. This number increases to $2.1 trillion when you add substantial costs for veterans through 2053.
There are several reasons for the discrepancy between government-projected and actual costs of war. The first one is mission creep. We tend to intervene more deeply than originally planned, from Vietnam to Afghanistan. Second, pro-war interests have an incentive to make the war appear to be as cheap-and therefore attractive-as possible. Secretary of State John Kerry claimed during a September 4 hearing on President Obama's request for an authorization for use of military force in Syria that unnamed "Arab countries" have offered to pay for the administration's proposed war in Syria. Something similar happened in March 2003 when the Bush administration announced that the war in Iraq would be paid for by future oil revenues there.
But no matter how large the direct price tag for war, that's only a down payment on what military interventions usually end up costing taxpayers. Queens College economics professor Ryan D. Edwards looked at the costs of 10 major U.S. wars in a 2010 National Bureau of Economic Research paper, and found that the costs of death and disability compensation, health care, and survivors' benefits to veterans and their dependents "represent between one third and one half of the total present value of all war costs."
Even for short and seemingly cheap engagements, like the 2011 Libya intervention and possibly Syria this year, the unfunded liability of future veterans' benefits will have lasting implications for fiscal policy beyond the short-term impact on the budget and economy. That was certainly the case for both the Spanish-American War and the first Gulf War.
Any Syria-war costs would also be higher than originally announced because lawmakers will abuse the "emergency" spending process. During the two-front war in Iraq and Afghanistan, this back-door budgeting scheme allowed President Bush and his Republican Congress to not only conceal the true costs to taxpayers, but also to avoid painful budget choices while funneling billions of dollars in unvetted goodies to favored military contractors. The result was more defense and nondefense spending. Lawmakers from both parties have refused to close this emergency loophole, even though Obama has so far kept his promise to fund the war out of regular appropriations.
There's another factor that could trigger higher-than-projected costs in Syria. As soon as news of a potential U.S. strike hit the news cycle, hawks and pro-defense spending interests started making the case that it would require boosting defense spending or putting an end to the defense spending cuts implemented on March 1 of this year though sequestration. During a September 8 interview on CNN's State of the Union program, for instance, Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, warned that many Republicans would only support the president's intervention if it was coupled with repeal of the modest defense cuts.
The cost implications of undoing hard-fought sequestration could be large. Democrats wouldn't agree to re-boosting defense spending without undoing the rest of the sequestration cuts as well. If that happens, as with emergency supplementals, both defense and nondefense spending will grow much faster than projected.
For all these reasons, Americans should demand that lawmakers do a much better job at projecting all the costs of an intervention in Syria. Then, they need to demand a credible plan on how it will be paid for. Under no circumstances should war ever again simply be added to the nation's credit card.
