text:
Martha Dewing Woodward (1856–1950) was an American artist and art teacher. According to her obituary in The New York Times, she was "one of the nation's leading painters." Among her accomplishments, she founded the first art school in Provincetown, Massachusetts in 1896. In 1907, Woodward and her partner, Louise Johnson, founded the Blue Dome Fellowship in Woodstock, New York, which Woodward continued in Florida after her move there. Woodward's art and teachings thrived in Florida, where her work had a lasting impact.

Woodward studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art in Philadelphia and the Academie Julian in Paris. In addition to teaching at her summer art schools, Woodward taught art at the Female Institute in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania (which later became a part of Bucknell University), the Women's College of Baltimore (later Goucher College in Towson, Maryland), the Ethical Culture School in New York City, and the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. Woodward was active in the art world through painting and volunteering until her death in 1950.

Early life and education
Woodward was born on June 6, 1856 in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. She was the youngest of the eight children of John Vanderbilt Woodward and Wealthy Ann York Woodward. Her grandfather, Apollos Woodward, served as an aide to George Washington during the Whiskey Rebellion. Their home, called Springside, located at 721 Fifth Avenue, Williamsport, was originally a log house before being enlarged in 1845. The Woodwards added a studio above the kitchen of the Southern style home for Woodward to use as a studio. Woodward researcher, Ralph Rees, believes that the young Woodward taught art lessons from this home studio.

Career

Woodward began painting at a young age. A portrait she painted of her father when she was 11 years old was praised for its skillful and mature style.  Woodward attended the Hattie Hall Seminary for Young Ladies in Williamsport. She later attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, and the Academie Julian in Paris with Robert Fleury, Jacques Blanche, and Jean Francois Raffaelli. At age 26, Woodward was appointed art professor at the Female Institute of the University of Lewisburg (which later became part of Bucknell University). As the only art professor at the Female Institute, she taught 28-35 students in classes ranging from drawing to inks to china decoration to tapestry.  In 1889, she became head of the art department at the Women's College of Baltimore (later Goucher College) and served as principal of Goucher's School of Art from 1891-92. Branching beyond teaching art, Woodward was also a member of the Baltimore's Water-Color Club and Charcoal Club of Baltimore.

In the summer of 1896, after several years living and studying in France, Dewing Woodward established the Cape Cod School of Drawing and Painting in Provincetown, MA. The school is now recognized as the first art school in Provincetown, predating Charles Hawthorne's Cape Cod School of Art, founded 1899. The first students were from Felix Adler's Ethical Culture School in New York City, where Woodward was head of the art department. Among those students that first year was Norwegian-born artist, Jonas Lie (1880-1940).

Woodward shared her home and studio in Provincetown with Laura Louise Johnson. The two women lived and worked together until the 1920s according to various census records, city directories, and other sources. Laura Louise Johnson was one of six daughters of Henry and Margaret Johnson, who lived at 901 West 4th St., Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

Woodward and Johnson had several cottages in Provincetown, the "Pungo," "Willows," and "Kedge." Built on a high dune at 1 Commercial Street, the "Pungo" burned to the ground in 1907, destroying paintings, lectures, and $3,000 worth of antiques.  Some artworks painted by Woodward in Provincetown were "Clam Diggers Coming Home – Cape Cod," "Old Maids Pink – Cape Cod," "Wren Tower," "Provincetown," and "Flowers."
Woodward published a number of short stories about her time in Provincetown, Some Adventures of Two Vagabonds, by One of 'Em, under the pseudonym, Wealthy Ann York (her mother's maiden name).

Woodward went to Paris again in 1892, living there intermittently for eleven years. She described these years as the happiest time of her life. She maintained a studio called Rue Fromentin, exhibited in the Paris Salon ten times, and was assistant critic at Académie Julian. In 1894, she won the prestigious Grand Prix de Concours de Portrait at the Marseilles International Exposition for her portrait of an elderly woman. This portrait was displayed in the Paris Salon, and is believed to have been destroyed in World War II. She also won the silver medal in Nantes in 1904.

In Europe, Woodward faced discrimination because of her gender, prompting her to drop "Martha" from her name and to use her more androgynous middle name "Dewing." She was forced to withdraw a painting, Wooden Shoemakers, from the Paris Salon when Jule La Febre told the jury members that the painter was a woman," and "who knows who might have helped her!"

Returning permanently to America in 1907, Woodward and Johnson established the artist colony, the Blue Dome Fellowship, in Shady-in-the-Catskills where they taught for ten years. Likely branching from Woodward's strong religious faith, the colony's name comes from Woodward's favorite slogan: Worship God under the blue dome of heaven. The colony was located near the Brydcliffe Art Colony in Woodstock, New York. The Blue Dome Fellowship followed the popular French style of painting where artists posed living nude models in the open air. The Fellowship members consisted mainly of women and included many famous people in the arts, including Woodward's good friend, Poultney Bigelow. The James Cox Gallery in Willow, New York, held a festival in 2006, recreating the painting technique that produced ninety paintings.

In 1908, Woodward wrote and published Some Adventures of Two Vagabonds: By One of 'Em, a series of short stories about her and Johnson, under the pseudonym Wealthy Ann York, her mother's maiden name. She also wrote The Mass of the Shepherds of Provence, a short story published in 1911 by Hervey White's Maverick Press.

The Blue Dome Fraternity studio, appropriately called "Red Roof" for its red tiled roof, burned down in 1912, pushing Woodward into financial troubles. Throughout the rest of her life, Woodward struggled financially.

After the loss of her Woodstock studio, Woodward spent the rest of her life in Miami and Coral Gables, Florida. Inspired by the rich foliage and brightly colored birds, Woodward and Johnson would travel by Ford Model T to the Everglades to paint the wildlife. When the University of Miami opened in 1926, Woodward was horrified to learn that no art curriculum was offered. She began teaching art classes for free through the new university's Conservatory of Music. She eventually received a salary. The Conservatory closed in 1928, unable to pay the academic staff. For years afterward, Woodward wrote letters to the university president, begging for some reimbursement as her financial support had disappeared.

Well into her eighties, Woodward was active in the arts in Florida, volunteering at local arts and crafts centers, painting, and writing articles (none of which survived). In Coral Gables, Woodward was a charter member of the local Christian Science Church; an instigator in establishing the Blue Dome Fellowship, one of the longest existing art clubs in Florida; founder of Tropical League of Fine Arts, which organized artists' costume balls to raise funds for a permanent fine art institute; president of the Florida Federation of Art; director of the Index of American Design and the Florida Society of Arts and Science; and supporter of the Community Art Center and Roundtable of Southern Florida. Woodward was also the author of Colour, an art magazine, in which she discussed her color theories. She was interested in the "echo" theory, a phenomenon of the afterimages of color; for example, when a red object is held against a white background, then pulled away, the afterimage is green. She felt that this reality condoned any adjustment in such color codes.

In the 1930s, Woodward was hired by the Works Progress Administration to paint murals in public buildings to bring culture to the public. They also commissioned her to paint miniatures of historic antiques. Two of her Florida bird studies, Flamingoes and Great Blue Herons, were chosen by Eleanor Roosevelt to hang in the Sub-Treasury Building in Washington D.C. Woodward's Golden Warblers painting was hung in the Coral Gables Biltmore Hotel when it opened in 1926, and the Miami Woman's Club also housed her Morning Song of the Pines artwork.

Death and legacy
Woodward, "one of the nation's leading painters" died on July 12, 1950 after a brief illness at the age of 94. The New York Times obituary mentions that she was survived by a grandnephew, Charles V. Woodward of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Her cremated remains were buried in the family plot at Wildwood Cemetery in Williamsport.

In 1991, Bucknell University Association for the Arts honored Woodward with the Academy of Artistic Achievement award.

Her paintings can be found at the University of Miami's Lowe Art Museum, Woodstock Art Association and Museum, the Bigelow Homestead Collection, the Deschanel Collection in Paris, the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, and in private collections, including that of Dr. Alfred Frankel.

The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) announced Friday plans to "customize" training for bus drivers in response to a recent fatal Chicago bus accident, an announcement that came as welcome news to Chicago bus accident attorney Gregory F. Coplan of Coplan & Crane, a Chicago-based law firm.
"Increased training for bus drivers designed to make Chicago's streets safer is always welcome news," Coplan said. However, he added he hopes the additional training helps reduce or eliminate altogether fatal bus accidents in Chicago. "The only way to measure if the CTA's new program works is if the number of fatal bus accidents declines in Chicago. And the ultimate goal must always remain zero bus fatalities in Chicago and across Illinois. Nothing less is acceptable."
CTA President Dorval Carter Jr. revealed the new program training program for bus drivers on Friday, according to a news reports published by the Chicago Tribune and NBC Chicago as well as other news sources. Specifically, the new training program includes "additional route-specific instruction for some routes, increased ride-along evaluations by managers and supervisors and an increase in the total number of training days for new bus operators," NBC Chicago reports. (NBC Chicago, "CTA Revamps Training for Drivers after Deadly Downtown Bus Crash," June 12, 2015).
The NBC Chicago story also noted that "Beginning later this month, bus drivers will be trained for six weeks, including classroom instruction and field training. The CTA also plans to have staff take part in a study to identify the most challenging routes."
Such changes are good start, but the CTA cannot become complacent in the future, according to Chicago bus accident lawyer Benjamin A. Crane of Coplan & Crane. "There's often a rush to make streets safer soon after an accident," Crane said. "What's harder is to maintain that vigilance and commitment to safety six months or one year down the road. CTA officials need to constantly do everything they can to make sure Chicago residents can safely walk our streets and ride our buses. This could mean additional training for drivers in the future, perhaps even more testing or monitoring. Keeping Chicago's streets safe is something that needs to be constantly done on a daily basis."

FC dev jam is a 14 day game jam. It forces you to write a small fantasy console from scratch (graphic libs are fine) in any language under two weeks.
So, what is a fantasy console?
A Fantasy Console (FC) must not have existing hardware. e.g. The arduboy is not a fantasy console.
A FC may be influenced by retro hardware. While most FC's already are influenced by hardware choices of the past, I don't think it's a hard requirement. I feel that while the nostalga factor is awesome, it can't be required.
A FC may have tools included. I feed that requiring built-in tools being necessary is also beyond the scope of a fantasy console. Old DMG01 hackers remember having to make their own software and hardware just to dev for it. Requiring tools is a very nice thing, but it can't be a requirement.
It must have some form of output. lights, screen, speaker, etc. So you could make a controller console that only outputs sound. That would be a legit, albeit strange, fc. RAM is not a requirement - I imagine there could be some interesting FC's that only have CPU registers ROM is not a requirement (e.g. the Altair 8800).
You don't have to work on it for one week straight, but the total time spent on making it shouldn't take more than 14 days.
Be nice to other, don't take other ideas, be creative!
Make a game and ship it with your console!
Use a really tiny resolution (64x64 for example, it would be really neat for using in the #LOWREZJAM)!
Limit your time even more!
Add a web exporting for your carts!
Tweet about your FC on the @fantasy_console Twitter account.

Trade Paperback • $17.95

Short-listed for the British Fantasy Award
Jack Churchill, archaeologist and dreamer, walks out of the mist and into Celtic Britain more than two thousand years before he was born, with no knowledge of how he got there. All Jack wants is to get home to his own time where the woman he loves waits for him. Finding his way to the timeless mystical Otherworld, the home of the gods, he plans to while away the days, the years, the millennia, until his own era rolls around again . . . but nothing is ever that simple.
A great Evil waits in modern times and will do all in its power to stop Jack's return. In a universe where time and space are meaningless, its tendrils stretch back through the years . . . Through Roman times, the Elizabethan age, Victoria's reign, the Second World War to the Swinging Sixties, the Evil sets its traps to destroy Jack.
Mark Chadbourn gives us a high adventure of dazzling sword fights, passionate romance and apocalyptic wars in the days leading up to Ragnarok, the End-Times: a breathtaking, surreal vision of twisting realities where nothing is quite what it seems.
Praise for the Kingdom of the Serpent series:
"The first book in the remix of Mark Chadbourn's work offers a more gritty take on a war between good, evil and indifference. Think the spirit of V for Vendetta mixed with Neal Stephenson's historicism and infused by the spirit of Shakespeare's Puck: a featured character certain to invigorate future books."
"…an author whose work has redefined the boundaries of dark fantasy. The colossal story has never been less than fascinating, and at times easily rivaled the most riveting, original work of the genre. …Breath-taking, beguiling and very British, I can recommend Destroyer of Worlds and the entire trilogy of trilogies, as books which any serious reader of dark fantasy should have in their collections."
A two-time winner of the British Fantasy Award, Mark Chadbourn is the critically-acclaimed author of eleven novels and one non-fiction book. A former journalist, he is now a screenwriter for BBC television drama. His other jobs have included running an independent record company, managing rock bands, working on a production line, and as an engineer's 'mate'. He lives in a forest in the English Midlands.

Three weeks after a well-known local doctor was killed riding his bicycle across the James Island connector, a committee formed to advise Charleston City Council on bike safety is pressing forward with its demands for more bike lanes.
The group is making some progress, said Dan Kelley, chairman of Charleston's Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, which met Wednesday.
The city of Charleston is studying ways to reserve a bike lane over the Ashley River. The state Department of Transportation is finalizing plans to add bike lanes on St. Andrews Boulevard.
Charleston Mayor Joe Riley made a brief appearance at the committee's monthly meeting to reaffirm his commitment to making the T. Allen Legare Bridge safer for cyclists.
Riley also said he has been talking to the Transportation Department about making the James Island connector safer. For instance, one short-term possibility is to put poles between the right lane and emergency lane where bikers ride.
"That is under review," he said.
Officials should consider banning bikes from the bridge altogether, Arthur Field of Charleston suggested.
"It's inherently dangerous to ride a bicycle (with so much car traffic)," he said.
"We don't really look at that as an option," Kelley said.
There is no other practical way to get from James Island to the peninsula, because the Wappoo Bridge is even more dangerous than the connector, committee member Courtney Gruber said.
Committee members agreed that police need to educate and ticket bikers who run red lights and ride on congested downtown sidewalks.
Riley pointed out that the city printed up biking safety cards in May to give out to students. They are yellow and say "Bike Right City of Charleston" on one side and have safety and legal tips on the back. Riley said he would check to make sure they are included in student orientation packets this summer.
The law requires bicyclists to ride with the flow of traffic, as far to the right side of the road as possible, and to obey stop signs and stoplights.
The committee looked over Transportation Department plans to put bike lanes on a section of St. Andrews Boulevard by the end of the year. The road will be repaved and bike lanes added between Wesley Drive near the bridge and 5th Avenue near the intersection with S.C. Highway 171 toward Charles Towne Landing.
The committee agreed to ask the DOT to try to extend the lanes all the way to the bridge, to mark the bike paths across intersections and to make the crosswalks more visible.
Mitchell Hollon, an anesthesiologist and cycling enthusiast, was killed July 5 when he was knocked over the guardrail on the connector into the marsh below. The van driver was given a $113 ticket for an improper lane use.
Another high-profile cyclist was killed a year earlier. Edwin Gardner, 64, was struck by a sport utility vehicle on July 21, 2010, while he was riding his bicycle on Montagu Street near Lockwood Boulevard. Charlotte White of Sumter, 21, was charged with following too closely.

HIT TV shows 'Breaking Bad' and 'Modern Family' were the big winners at the 65th Emmy Awards.
Kicking off the Hollywood awards season, the awards show for TV series showcased some surprise winners.
Newcomer Netflix made its presence felt, but not in the splashy way it had hoped for as 'House of Cards' missed out on the top series honour. However, its director David Flincher won a directing award.
The best drama win for 'Breaking Bad' was its first ever, and Anna Gunn won a best supporting actress award for playing the wife of Bryan Cranston's Walter White character, the chemistry-teacher-turned-drug lord whom the series revolves around.
'Modern Family' was declared best comedy again – but none of its ensemble cast took home trophies.
A number of Irish productions had been nominated but none took home awards.
Fantasy series 'Game of Thrones', which stars Irish actors Ciaran Hinds, Aidan Gillen and Liam Cunningham, had 16 nominations, but only won Outstanding Make-Up For A Single Camera Series and Outstanding Special Visual Effects.
'Vikings', which was filmed entirely in Co Wicklow and starring Gabriel Byrne, failed to secure any awards.
However, there was some good news. Neil Jordan's recently axed series 'The Borgias' won a gong for Outstanding Costumes For A Series and 'Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God', featuring archival footage of Cardinal Sean Brady and Enda Kenny, won Exceptional Merit In Documentary Filmmaking, Outstanding Picture Editing and Outstanding Writing for Nonfiction Programming.
Jeff Daniels of the HBO's 'Newsroom' was probably the most unexpected winner, declared best actor in a category with heavyweights such as Cranston, Jon Hamm of 'Mad Men', Kevin Spacey of 'House of Cards' and Damian Lewis of 'Homeland'.


All of the problems and issues that I've been experiencing over the past 18+ months, continue, sadly, to exist. Because there appears to be no solution available and because great amount of inconvenience and frustration these issues and problems are causing, I'm almost (but not quite 'there' yet) to the point where I'm going to 'scrap' Homestead and seek out another Website hosting company.
It sounds like a lot of your other Homestead customers are, as well; base on the comments that I've been reading.
Since 'joining' the Homestead 'community', I've been receiving copies of comments about unresolved similar issues and problems other Homestead customers are experiencing. It seems to me that everybody is relying on everybody else when, in fact, Homestead should be 'stepping up to the plate' and addressing these issues and problems and 'fixing' what is 'broken'.
It appears, at least to me, that your customers, who pay you lots of money each year, are 'crying out' for help from other Homestead customers; hoping to get some help; help that should rightfully, and properly, be coming from your company.
What can we, as Homestead customers, expect from Homestead to resolve the many is that your customers are experiencing ?
Right now, as it stands with customs asking other customers for help, it's like "The blind leading the blind !!"
Richard, if you have a specific issue that we can help you with, please create your own topic and we will address it. If your issue is the use of Sitebuilder desktop on Windows 8 or later, I have advised you that usually, but not always it can be made to work. Unfortunately that is the case. I am sorry.
Sue3082, which site and page are you working on. I would be happy to take a look for you. Is the box locked in position and size?
I don't know now. I just know it was on one page and assumed it was like that on every page. the box doesn't move. It sits there, giving advice but one can't do anything with the advice while the box is there. Perhaps if others experience it they will let you know.
I am talking about the help box, not anything I have downloaded onto a page.
I checked a few pages and did not see anything. If you come across this again, please specify the site and page that you see it on.
I experience this happening all the time, Drew. But you are not? And have no help?
I can take a look if you specify a page you see the issue on. I need to see this box so I can identify what is happening.

Clark: no election certainties
City Sage
By John Hazlehurst
County Commissioner Sallie Clark sits in the comfortable living room of her bed and breakfast, Holden House, delicately balancing a cup of tea. She's attractive and disarming in private, with no hint of the steely determination that has sustained her long run in Colorado Springs politics.
She's contested five elections and won three. She's been in a lot of fights — and now she's in another. This time her opponent is political novice Karen Magistrelli, who outpolled Clark at the Republican County Assembly. Magistrelli has top line in the mail primary ending June 26.
"I was at a meeting the other day talking to [Sen.] Mark Udall," Clark says. "He asked me whether I had a primary opponent. He said that there are only two ways to run: unopposed and scared."
While Republicans here and elsewhere have a certain tendency to eat their own, Clark's sudden unpopularity traces to her role in crafting the successful 2010 "term limits" measure that has allowed her to seek a third term. Clark's hitherto-disorganized foes had long chafed under the leadership of Boss Sallie. Finally, they have a stick to beat her with.
Is Clark scared? Few believe it. Her 15-year career in politics has been characterized by a graceful fearlessness. She began in 1997 as a neighborhood activist fighting the proposed closure of Fire Station 3, which serves the historic neighborhoods of Old Colorado City and the west side. She singlehandedly took on City Council, Mayor Mary Lou Makepeace and Fire Chief Manny Navarro. With the patient canniness that has characterized her since, Clark found that many firefighters opposed the closure, but Navarro had forbidden them from talking. Claiming that Navarro and Council were "muzzling" firefighters and playing politics with public safety, Clark forced her opponents into a no-win position.
Riding her sudden notoriety, Clark ran for mayor in 1999, positioning herself as a conservative activist opposed to Makepeace's alleged heavy-handedness.
Votes split three ways between Clark, Makepeace and ultra-conservative auto dealer Will Perkins. The conservative vote split, and Makepeace won with a plurality. "I was talking to Will some time ago," Clark said, "and he admitted that I would have won if he hadn't run."
Undaunted, Clark ran for City Council in 2001, easily defeating incumbent Linda Barley. In 2003, Clark ran again for mayor, joining Councilors Ted Eastburn, Jim Null and Lionel Rivera in the race for the term-limited Makepeace's seat. Moderates and progressives split their votes three ways, and Rivera prevailed. Clark has no regrets ... she says.
"It's funny how you become good friends with former opponents," she said. "I loved Ted [who died two years ago], and Jim's a friend and a supporter." She doesn't mention Makepeace or Rivera.
A year later, she ran for county commissioner, walloping local businessman Jack Gloriod. She's been there ever since.
Clark quickly formed a productive partnership with fellow commissioners Dennis Hisey and Jim Bensberg. The three of them ran El Paso County for six years, shutting out Douglas Bruce and Wayne Williams from any leadership role. In her three years as chair, Clark icily muzzled the irascible Bruce, cutting him off in debate or refusing to recognize him.
Clark found her signature issue in 2007.
"Jim [Bensberg] told me to apply to the state child welfare allocation committee, which allocates money to counties to fund programs for abused and neglected children. I went to my first meeting, and I found that Denver's allocation was being raised by $4 million and we were being cut by $1.5 million. So I pounded the table — I couldn't believe it."
Eventually, the funding wasn't just restored, but increased by $2.7 million.
"I can't tell you how important that was, and how serious child abuse and neglect is in this county," Clark says. "It's funny — now I'm the senior person on that committee. And you know, I really feel that I found my purpose. Welling [Clark's husband] and I don't have any children, but I do feel that I was put here by God to do this work."
And suppose the voters don't agree?
"We'll see — but I don't take anything for granted. This is just the primary, so if I win I'll have to take on [Democrat] John Morris."
She pretends to be worried.

After one month as PM, Narendra Modi writes blog. He envisions glorious future. He also said that his government has not had the luxury of a 'honeymoon period' and had been subjected to a series of allegations within the 'first hundred hours' of its formation.
Have a look on the chronology of major train accidents in India which claimed many innocent lives.
Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on said his ministry has approved highway projects worth over Rs 40,000 crore for implementation over the next couple of years.
On the completion of one month of NDA government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked ministers about three key areas where he wants the PMO to pay greater attention and they are public grievances, improving Centre-State relations and meeting the requirements of the armed forces.

Q: Error when POSTing to react app after SAML auth Completely stumped on an issue I'm dealing with, and I feel like I've looked everywhere, just can't wrap my head around it.
I've got an app that's built as follows:

*

*React frontend, built using Create React App

*A separate API, running on a separate server, which the frontend interacts with via RESTful calls

*Auth0 handling auth, using a SAML connection. Authentication is successful against the SAML connection.

*App is hosted on Heroku, and uses the @mars/create-react-app buildback.

The issue I'm experiencing is that after the SAML authentication, there is a redirect back to my app as a POST. My app doesn't know what to do with said POST, and I'm unsure why.
The ideal scenario I'm looking for is:

*

*User visits domain.com/login

*User is redirected to SAML IdP, which asks for login

*User logs in with IdP, and is sent back to my app, preferably just to the path /explorer. This should all be straight GET.

I'm happy to post any code related, but unsure what would be the most helpful. Despite me having set the SAML protocol binding to "redirect" on Auth0, it continues to post back to my app. I might simply be misunderstanding that piece, however.
Again, happy to post whatever code would help, just unsure what's most useful to see. Like I said, it seems that auth is working, just that after the authentication, there's a POST back to my root, and my app has zero clue what to do with it. There is no nginx config to speak of.
Thanks for any tips or hints about where to look.

A: Quick followup. Solved this (I think) by spinning up a simple Express server to serve the React app with, and routed POST / to index.html, which seems to have worked for now.


Built in 1970, MacRury Hall is one of the primary academic buildings on campus, housing the Radiologic Technology and Paramedic Emergency Medicine programs.
MacRury Hall was a 40 year old two story academic building totaling 17,000 SF. The existing classroom uses were relocated and the building was renovated into the new state of the art Radiology Center. The interior was gutted down to structural CMU walls and all MEP systems were removed as well as all windows and exterior doorways. The envelope was updated with new EFCO windows and entries, new MEP systems, upgraded wall and roof insulation to meet current energy code and upgraded metal panel exterior trim and soffits. New canopies were located at the two main entries.
MacRury Hall is now home to state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging labs, a dental hygiene clinic, science laboratories, classrooms and offices. Variable refrigerant cooling, coupled with energy-recovery rooftop units and gas-fired condensing boilers provide a high-efficiency HVAC plant for the building.


The regulator had auctioned at least 77 properties between December and June with a combined reserve price of more than Rs 4,500 crore.
In a notice, Sebi said it will auction 43 properties of Pancard Clubs as well as five luxury vehicles owned by the company.
Looking to recover over Rs 7,000 crore of investor money from Pancard Clubs, markets regulator Sebi has put up for sale the company's luxury vehicles and properties.
In a notice issued today, Sebi said it will auction 43 properties of Pancard Clubs as well as five vehicles, including Mercedes Benz, Toyota Innova and Hyundai Verna, owned by the company.
The properties listed for the sale mostly include hotels, resorts, bunglows, a flat, land parcels and office space.
These assets are located in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Goa, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
As per the notice, vehicles would be auctioned on August 2. However, the regulator has not mentioned the auction date for properties.
The move comes after Pancard Clubs had failed to comply with Sebi' order passed in February 2016 that had directed the company to refund investors over Rs 7,000 crore.
The company had mobilised Rs 7,035 crore from 51,55,516 investors from 2002-03 to 2013-14 through its various holiday schemes.

Prevalence of and risk factors associated with polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-determined Plasmodium falciparum positivity were assessed on day 3 after initiation of treatment, pre-implementation and up to 8 years post-deployment of artemether–lumefantrine as first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria in Bagamoyo district, Tanzania. Samples originated from previously reported trials conducted between 2006 and 2014. Cytochrome b-nested PCR was used to detect malaria parasites from blood samples collected on a filter paper on day 3. Chi-square and McNemar chi-squared tests, logistic regression models, and analysis of variance were used as appropriate. Primary outcome was based on the proportion of patients with day 3 PCR-determined P. falciparum positivity. Overall, 256/584 (43.8%) of screened patients had day 3 PCR-determined positivity, whereas only 2/584 (0.3%) had microscopy-determined asexual parasitemia. Day 3 PCR-determined positivity increased from 28.0% (14/50) in 2006 to 74.2% (132/178) in 2007–2008 and declined, thereafter, to 36.0% (50/139) in 2012–2013 and 27.6% (60/217) in 2014. When data were pooled, pretreatment microscopy-determined asexual parasitemia ≥ 100,000/µL, hemoglobin < 10 g/dL, age < 5 years, temperature ≥ 37.5°C, and year of study 2007–2008 and 2012–2013 were significantly associated with PCR-determined positivity on day 3. Significant increases in P. falciparum multidrug resistance gene 1 N86 and P. falciparum chloroquine resistant transporter K76 across years were not associated with PCR-determined positivity on day 3. No statistically significant association was observed between day 3 PCR-determined positivity and PCR-adjusted recrudescence. Day 3 PCR-determined P. falciparum positivity remained common in patients treated before and after implementation of artemether–lumefantrine in Bagamoyo district, Tanzania. However, its presence was associated with pretreatment characteristics. Trials registration numbers: NCT00336375, ISRCTN69189899, NCT01998295, and NCT02090036.

I was thrilled to find out that Nabby of This Old Life has bestowed a Duchie Award upon my little blog. If you are not familiar with Nabby and her fantastic 1930s style wardrobe, you must take a peek – I promise it will make you wish you were living inside a Thin Man movie (if only for the fabulous fashion).
* There is no need to worry about being "in style" or on trend – vintage is so old it is new again. And even if it is considered passe, I just don't care!
* You will never show up to an event wearing the same outfit as someone else. I think I am rebelling against the many, many years I spent in a school uniform. Now that I can make my own clothing decisions, there is no way I am going to choose to dress like everyone else!
* There are so many extra special details found in vintage clothing and vintage patterns.
* Unless you are willing/able to spend $300 or more for a blouse, the quality of ready to wear clothing is seriously lacking these days, in my opinion. Everything is made to be disposed of in a couple of seasons. It amazes me that a cotton day dress from 1950 with pinked seams that obviously got quite a bit a wear is still around. I highly doubt that many of the cotton dresses made today will last 50 or 60 years and still be in wearable condition. Which begs the question – will vintage clothing even exist in 100 years?
* Color! One of the reasons I love sewing is that I can choose my own fabrics and color palettes (although finding something that I have pictured in my mind is not always possible and sometimes frustrating). These days we are at the whim of a few people at the top of the fashion ladder that decide on a palette of two or three colors for a season, and should you wish to purchase a new sweater in any other color, well, good luck with that! I love discovering old catalogue images from the 1940s and 1950s of fabric swatches in a rainbow of colors, not to mention those beautiful prints and plaids.
Amanda Lee is a picture perfect pin-up. And if you enjoy film noir, you must watch "The Naughty Lady" short with her starring as a Gilda-inspired character. Love it!
Jen always looks absolutely adorable in her 1950s full skirted frocks and cardis.
Molly sews her own wonderful vintage style dresses and takes incredibly cute photos.
If you are curious about where this award originated, check out American Duchess.
And a great big thank you to Nabby! My first blog award – this is so very exciting! I feel absolutely honored.
I finally finished this ensemble! And guess what – it is another Vintage Vogue – I know, you are super surprised, right?
I purchased the pattern and the fabric years ago – I just never got around to the sewing. I meant to finish it for the Mahler symphony concert, but decided I did not want to rush my bound buttonholes and all those tucks, so I put it away.
And instead of working on it over the weekend, I waited until Tuesday and Wednesday evening to finish it just in time for the Pink Martini concert I attended last Thursday.
The fabric was a lucky find from Fashion Fabrics Club. For me, the company is hit and miss. I have found some fantastic yardage, but the colors posted online are often nothing like what shows up at my doorstep – I do not believe it is my monitor because I never have the issue with other online retailers. They do have some fantastic deals, though, so the less than ideal stuff gets used for wearable muslins or patterns that I am not quite sure about.
This fabric was billed as faille, which it is not! However, I love the diamond texture created with the net background. Because I was worried that the net might be a bit itchy, and I knew it would stick to hosiery, I underlined the entire dress by hand with silk thread.
If you look close, you can see that some of my basting stitches are still visible from the wrong side of the garment – I finished the outfit, but did not have a chance to pull out all of those extra stitches!
And by the way, this group is absolutely fantastic. I was not familiar with their music, but it is truly phenomenal - if you ever get the opportunity, do yourself a favor and see one of their concerts!
P.S. Voting for the Threads Ultimate Sewing Challenge is still open! I am currently in second place, so thank you for all of your votes – please keep it up!
I am quite sure that I will be sick and tired of the cold weather soon enough, but for now, it is an excuse to pull out all of the dresses that have been patiently waiting for the temperature to drop!
I sewed this dress using a reproduction pattern from the Vintage Pattern Lending Library (the original pattern was Hollywood 1449). I highly recommend the company as a wonderful resource for vintage reproduction patterns. The patterns are printed on sturdy bond paper, and seam allowances are clearly marked, as are all notches and darts necessary to construct the garment. So there are no more excuses for anyone that might be overwhelmed by the thought of an unprinted vintage pattern – VPLL has done the work for you. More information about the actual construction may be found over at Pattern Review.
There are so many lovely little details to be found in this pattern. I have plans to make the peplum version in a bright colored print one of these days, but the short sleeve version is also calling out to me! Oh, whatever shall I do? Perhaps I should stop daydreaming and finish the jacket that is currently in pieces, waiting for a few bound buttonholes.
I have so many visions of fantastic frocks (who needs sugar plum faeries when you have velvet and lace?!), but not enough time to sew them.
Dress: Made by me, VPLL F1149.
Hair Ornament: Made by me.
There are not one, not two, but three new vintage reproductions in the Butterick Winter/Holiday 2011 collection. How very exciting!
So let's take a look, shall we . . .
I am a bit unsure how the fit will work with this one when there are so many shoulder tie options, but I love the look. Maybe some boning added along the side seams? And maybe a bit of interfacing on the lower bodice pieces?
The swing jacket is super cute, but I have a couple of coats planned for this season and I must not let this distract me.
My favorite is this lovely shift. How fabulous is the cutout and bow tie. Love it!
My only gripe is that I would like to see more complex vintage styles reproduced. When will Vogue bring back all of the Couturier designs?
I cannot wait until the next sale at JoAnn Fabrics. And I will have to go through the stash to find the perfect fabric for 5707.
And, of course, there are quite a few new contemporary patterns for those of us not completely obsessed with the past.
I attended the Marin Symphony's Mahler program this Tuesday. Guess what that means . . . time to play dress up!
After a couple of hours attempting to finish Vogue 1136 Monday evening, I took a deep breath and realized that I have a closet full of clothes that are suitable for an evening at the symphony. Not to mention, I enjoy the sewing process, and rushing through something when it is not absolutely necessary is just silly! Instead of doing a shoddy job, I put the pins and fabric away and looked in the closet.
This suit is one of the first vintage reproductions I ever attempted, and certainly the first structured suit I ever sewed. The fabric is from the upholstery section at JoAnn Fabrics and is therefore quite stiff and heavy. There are a few fitting issues. The bound buttonholes are a bit embarrassing. And I probably should have padded out or used an interfacing with more body for the jacket hips – I may not have used any interfacing at all – bad, bad seamstress. I did manage to match stripes at the shoulders, though.
At work, someone told me that I remind him of a film noir character! Rita Hayworth, Barbara Stanwick, and Lana Turner, oh my! I will definitely take that as a compliment. It is so much better than the response I got from my boss, D: "what are you wearing?" After ten years, he certainly knows what to expect with regards to my wardrobe, so I have to assume he is doing it just to irritate me.
And yes, the Symphony was fantastic!
Suit: Made by me, Vintage Vogue 2339, Original 1948 Design.
Fishnets: Simply Vera by Vera Wang for Kohls.
Shoes: Via Spiga "Unit" in Black Suede.

AUCKLAND – New Zealand will not have a tax on property investment by foreigners, despite renewed calls from the Mayor of Auckland.
On October 11th the Prime Minister of New Zealand reiterated the government's stance that no new taxes will be implemented on the purchase or sale of properties held by foreign investors.
The Prime Minister's statement came after a renewed call for a tax on investment by foreigners by the newly elected Mayor of Auckland, Phil Goff.
The Prime Minister explained that if the intention of a tax on investment by non-residents was to dampen the demand for housing, then the tax would not have a significant effect, as the tax would not target the right demographic.
John Key added that if the Mayor wanted to see an improvement in the affordability of housing in New Zealand, then he should instead look at improving the administrative workflow for obtaining Council Consent to build new residential properties in Auckland.
In addition to rejecting the call for a property tax, the Prime Minister also said that the government would not consider the proposal for a regional fuel tax in Auckland, which would be used to fund improvements to the area's roading system.


Complies to the new ESNZ and Pony Club helmet safety standards. Designed and finished by hand in France, the helmets offer exceptional fit and comfort and are all certified to VG 1, ASTM F1163/SEI Standards.
The outer shell of the Premium is made of polycarbonate, which is a material used, among other things, for high-end motorcycle helmets. It is equipped with original Alcantara®. The inner shell is made of polystyrene with variable density providing a better dissipation of the energy produced upon impact.
3 shell sizes are available: S, M and L. Each shell can accommodate 4 to 5 inner liners of different sizes in order to obtain a perfect adjustment to the rider's head. The size grid is available from 52 to 61.
The internal comfort foam, "shape memory"-kind, ensuring a constant thickness over the years of use and the semi-rigid jugular cancel all risks of tipping the helmet in case of a violent movement. It can therefore be washed at will in order to constantly be able to wear a clean and fragrant helmet.
Equipped with two front air inlets, the Premium helmet provides exceptional ventilation. Fresh air is channeled from both the front entrance under the blazon as well as the channel obtained by the unique concept of no contact on the rider's forehead. Fresh air expels the hot air to the back extractors around comfort foam. This concept generates a strong internal airflow avoiding the need for visible and unsightly air inlets: the equestrian elegance is retained without banishing technicality and comfort.
Customisation of this helmet is available at an additional cost - please see our Samshield configurator for all available options and contact Stirrups for ordering and final pricing.

Understanding the Damage Caused by Water Leaks
Many Water Leaks Are Preventable Through Proper Maintenance
Water-Related Exclusions
What's Covered?
Marianne Bonner
Marianne Bonner, CPCU, ARM, worked in the insurance industry for 30 years. Now she consults on and writes about commercial insurance.
Many businesses suffer costly losses caused by water leaks. Water can be very destructive whether it seeps from a loose fitting or gushes from a ruptured main. While the standard commercial property policy excludes many water-related losses, it does cover damage caused by the typical burst pipe.
Many commercial property policies contain water exclusions like the ones found in the standard ISO Special Causes of Loss Form. This form excludes three categories of water damage.
The water exclusion applies to damage caused by water that accumulates in various forms, including a flood, waves, mudflow, and water that backs up from a sewer or drain. The exclusion is very broad as it is subject to the anti-concurrent causation language that appears at the beginning of the exclusions section.
You can protect your business against property damage caused by sewer backups by purchasing sewer backup coverage.
Slow Leaks
The Special Causes of Loss Form excludes damage caused by water that leaks or seeps continuously for 14 days or more. It also excludes damage caused by the presence or condensation of humidity, moisture or vapor that extends for 14 days or more. The seepage exclusion eliminates coverage for water damage that results from poor maintenance rather than a sudden accidental event. An example is water that leaks from a clogged drain line in an air conditioning unit.
Many water damage claims are the result of frozen water pipes. When a pipe freezes, water may slow to a trickle or not flow at all. The pressure inside the pipe from expanding ice may eventually cause the pipe to burst. The ISO Special Causes of Loss Form excludes damage caused by water, other liquids, powder or molten material that leaks or flows from plumbing, heating, air conditioning or other equipment caused by freezing.
The Special Causes of Loss Form contains a broad mold exclusion. The exclusion provides a small amount of mold coverage via an exception.
The Special Causes of Loss Form is an "all-risk" form, meaning it covers damage caused by any peril that isn't specifically excluded.  The three types of water losses outlined below are covered because they aren't caused by an excluded peril.
Water Damage From Sudden Events
Property damage caused by water leaking from a broken pipe or appliance (such as a water heater) is generally covered if the damage occurs suddenly. For example, a copper pipe that feeds a faucet in your office suddenly ruptures. The event occurs on a weekend and pooling water causes extensive damage to a wood floor. Assuming your property policy includes building coverage, it should cover the cost to replace the damaged floor.
The Special Causes of Loss Form also covers sudden water leaks from fire protective systems  For example, a maintenance employee is replacing a lighting fixture when he accidentally damages a sprinkler pipe. Water pours out of the pipe, damaging your office furniture. The damage to the furniture should be covered by your property policy.
Rip and Tear Coverage
Many water pipes are situated inside walls, ceilings or floors, where they are difficult to access. In order to repair a leak, you may need to tear out a portion of the building. Fortunately, the Special Causes of Loss Form covers "rip and tear," meaning the cost to tear out and replace any portion of the building you remove to repair the plumbing system or an appliance (such as a boiler) from which water or another substance has escaped.
Damage to Fire Protective Systems
The Special Causes of Loss Form excludes the cost to repair any defect to an appliance or system through which water or other material flows. Nevertheless, it does cover the cost to repair or replace damaged parts of a fire protective system if the damage results in a release of water, powder, foam, gas, or some other substance used to suppress fires. It also covers the cost of repairing or replacing parts of the system that are damaged by freezing.
Exceptions to Freezing Exclusion
The freezing exclusion cited above contains some exceptions. These afford coverage for the following types of losses.
Damage to fire protective systems. For example, you own a commercial building that contains a wet sprinkler system (meaning the pipes are filled with water). Several pipes in the ceiling freeze during a cold spell and one bursts, causing water damage to your personal property.
You do your best to maintain heat in the building. For instance, a power outage causes the furnace to shut off in your warehouse. You bring in a portable heater but a plumbing pipe freezes anyway. The pipe bursts, damaging to your equipment and inventory.
You don't maintain heat in the building, but you do drain the equipment and shut off the water or other liquid supply. For example, you own an unheated building that you use for storage. In October, you drain the water heater and supply lines but a clog prevents one pipe from draining. The pipe freezes and then bursts. Water damages property you stored in the warehouse.

Q: direct path not displayed in semPaths plot for lavaan mediator model The following mediation model comes from the lavaan tutorial.
Below I printed the model structure using semPaths from the semPlot package. But one paths appears to be missing.
set.seed(1234)
X <- rnorm(100)
M <- 0.5*X + rnorm(100)
Y <- 0.7*M + rnorm(100)
Data <- data.frame(X = X, Y = Y, M = M)
model <- ' # direct effect
             Y ~ c*X
           # mediator
             M ~ a*X
             Y ~ b*M
           # indirect effect (a*b)
             ab := a*b
           # total effect
             total := c + (a*b)
         '
fit <- sem(model, data = Data)
summary(fit, standardized=TRUE)

The regression part of the results is:
Regressions:
                   Estimate  Std.Err  Z-value  P(>|z|)   Std.lv  Std.all
  Y ~
    X          (c)    0.036    0.104    0.348    0.728    0.036    0.028
  M ~
    X          (a)    0.474    0.103    4.613    0.000    0.474    0.419
  Y ~
    M          (b)    0.788    0.092    8.539    0.000    0.788    0.679

Plotting the model using semPaths only displays two of the three regression paths. The X -> Y path is not displayed.
semPaths(fit, "std", edge.label.cex = 0.71)

Can someone explain why this is so or how I can add the missing path?

A: estimate for Y ~ X is 0.036 (P= 0.728). So the path is very faint but it's still there (you can also find 0.03 written over the path, which should ideally be 0.04 when you round off to the second decimal)  if you hunt for it.
You should be happy, given your output, doesn't work out the same for the data I collect. This makes your interpretation that much simpler: no direct effect but only mediation effect. specify mediation/indirect (M~X * Y~M), direct (Y~X)and total (M~X * Y~M + Y~X)effects in the model to know how they are turning out in terms of 0.95 CI or p values.
You have got a pretty straightforward case here, cheers!

A: Try this and let me know if it helps
semPaths(fit, title = FALSE,layout = "spring", whatLabels = "std", intercepts = FALSE, style = "ram")

László Gesztesi
Péter Ágoston
Purpose: To evaluate acute side effects after extremely hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for definitive treatment of prostate cancer patients.
Patients and methods: Between February 2018 and August 2018, 205 low-, intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer patients were treated with SBRT using "CyberKnife M6" linear accelerator. In low-risk patients 7.5-8 Gy was delivered to the prostate gland by each fraction. For intermediate- and high-risk disease a dose of 7.5-8 Gy was delivered to the prostate and 6-6.5 Gy to the seminal vesicles by each fraction with a simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) technique. A total of 5 fractions (total dose 37.5-40 Gy) were given on every second working days. Acute radiogenic genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) side effects were assessed using RTOG scoring system.
Results: Of the 205 patients (28 low-, 115 intermediate-, 62 high-risk) treated with SBRT, 203 (99%) completed the radiotherapy as planned. The duration of radiation therapy was 1 week and 3 days. The frequency of acute radiogenic side effects were as follows: GU grade 0: 17.1%, grade I: 30.7%, grade II: 50.7%, grade III: 1.5% and GI grade 0: 62.4%, grade I: 31.7%, grade II: 5.9%, grade III: 0%. None of the patients developed grade ≥4 acute toxicity.
Conclusion: SBRT with a total dose of 37.5-40 Gy in 5 fractions appears to be a safe and well tolerated treatment option in patients with prostate cancer, associated with moderate or slight early side effects. Longer follow-up is needed to evaluate long-term toxicity and biochemical control.
