Dr. Raymond Laflamme to lead Quantum Advisory Council under new National Quantum Strategy
Dr. Raymond Laflamme, a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and founding director of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), has been named co-chair of the National Quantum Strategy's (NQS) Advisory Council. The NQS will amplify Canada's strength in quantum research; grow its quantum technologies and cement our global leadership in quantum science and its commercialization.
Advances in quantum science have the potential to transform how people work and live in Canada and around the world. Canada is a global leader in quantum science with a growing ecosystem of world-class centres of quantum expertise. The NQS will enable research cooperation and collaboration between industry, academia and government and further increase connections between regional quantum hubs to foster a robust national ecosystem.
The seven-year $360 million announcement was made last week by the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Canada's Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry. Laflamme will work in close collaboration with fellow co-chair Dr. Stephanie Simmons of Photonic and IQC affiliate.
"I am delighted to have been asked to serve as a co-chair of the NQS Quantum Advisory Council, along with Dr. Simmons," said Laflamme. "I have seen first-hand the benefit of cultivating a dynamic quantum ecosystem here in Waterloo Region and look forward to being part of the working group's national approach to fostering a similar sense of community amongst quantum researchers and industries in all corners of our country."
The NQS will guide the development of future quantum technologies in Canada and ensure that Canada maintains its quantum innovation and leadership through the strategy's three pillars of research, talent and commercialization.
Left to right: The Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Dr. Robert Myers, Perimeter Institute Director, The Honourable Bardish Chagger and Dr. Raymond Laflamme.
"We thank the Government of Canada for its leadership in investing in the future of quantum research here in the Waterloo region, and across the country," said Charmaine Dean, vice-president of research & international at the University of Waterloo. "Path-breaking work in quantum has been underway at Waterloo for many years now and we look forward to helping to grow and solidify a national network of quantum scientists, and industry partners who will come together to tackle some of the greatest challenges we face as a society. I'm incredibly proud that Dr. Laflamme, a leader in this field, will help to shape the direction of this national strategy."
Through the development of the NQS, and with the leadership of the Quantum Advisory Council, Canada aims to mobilize quantum research into commercial applications, foster large-scale partnerships and train a next-generation workforce to ensure Canada remains at the forefront of quantum science and technology.
"Dr. Laflamme is one of the world's leading experts on quantum information, a pioneer instrumental in creating a uniquely collaborative quantum ecosystem in the Waterloo Region," said Dr. Norbert Lütkenhaus, Executive Director at IQC and professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Waterloo. "His leadership along with Dr. Simmons' will be pivotal in ensuring Canada can realize the full societal and economic benefits that a robust national quantum strategy will deliver."
The work IQC has been doing for over 20 years in research, talent development and commercialization aligns with the NQS. To learn more about how IQC's research harnesses quantum information to develop powerful new technologies and drive future economies, visit the IQC website.

Crystal and lead crystal are largely used for making glassware. Most often people are not aware of the difference between crystal and lead crystal glassware. The only difference that they know is that one of them contains lead.
Crystal is only a type of glass. They are very delicate than the regular glass. In order to give the crystals more stability and weight, lead is often added to it.
Both crystal and lead crystal glassware comprises of manganese, soda, silica sand and lime. Other materials like borax, arsenic and saltpeter are added to give color.
First of all let us look at the cost of the two. Lead crystal is priced higher than the crystals.
Lead crystal sparkles more than the crystals. This is because of the addition of lead oxide, which increases the refractive index. Unlike the crystals, the lead crystals are more clear and bright.
Lead crystal is blown and cut by the hand whereas crystals are machine made. As the lead crystals are hand made, it has added brilliance and sharp facets. On the other hand, the crystals have rounded edges.
When comparing the health issues, there is a saying that lead crystals are not good for the body as they contain lead. Though the warning is there, people prefer lead crystal to crystals as they are more beautiful. Another point that is sometimes raised is that alcohol should not be stored in lead crystal decanters. If alcohol is stored for more than three months, then there is a possibility that the lead oozes into the liquid.
The first crystals were traced around 500 B C in Mesopotamia. On the other hand, Lead crystal was discovered in 1674 after an English glassmaker changed the formula of making crystal glassware by substituting lead oxide for calcium.
1. Both crystal and lead crystal glassware comprises of manganese, soda, silica sand and lime. But in lead crystal, lead is also added.
2. Lead crystal is priced higher than the crystals.
3. The lead crystals have added brilliance and sharp facets. On the other hand, the crystals have rounded edges.
4. Lead crystal sparkles more than the crystals. Unlike the crystals, the lead crystals are more clear and bright.
5. When comparing the health issues, there is a saying that lead crystals are not good for the body as they contain lead.
6. The first crystals were traced around 500 B C in Mesopotamia. On the other hand, Lead crystal was discovered in 1674.

Do you know if Steuben crystal glass is lead crystal? I'd assume it would be since it is quite costly.
does weight matter? going through moms stuff,and everything is beautiful,but some things are really heavy,some are "dainty" looks like it would break in a minute. what too keep everything but dont have room.
No, lead crystals are not more clear than for example RCR LUXION crystal glass or BOHEMIA Crystalite crystal glass. They are on comparable level of clearness. I think mentioned brands of crystal glass can be said to be more transparent than most if not all examples of lead crystal I have seen. Lead crystal tends to have whiteish tone to it when we compare samples of both types of the same thickness.

Southern Door ready to defend Packerland title
Korey Mallien
Stay hungry.
That's the mindset Southern Door coach Josh Rankin is trying to ingrain into his players this high school boys basketball season. It's the mindset he believes the Eagles need in order to contend for a second consecutive Packerland Conference championship.
"We have to stay hungry and motivated and work on getting better every day," Rankin said. "We're not out there to defend anything. We're on to chasing another title."
The Eagles won the Packerland last season for the first time since 2008. They finished 13-1 in conference, three games ahead of runner-up Kewaunee.
They return only three regular varsity players from last season, but that small group is an experienced and talented one to build around. Seniors Mitchell Gerend and Trevor Hawkey and junior Nick LeCaptain are all-conference standouts who have played on the varsity team since their freshman seasons.
Gerend, a 6-3 point guard, averaged 11.6 points and six assists per game last season. He was chosen first-team all-conference as a junior and second-team all-conference as a sophomore.
"He makes us go," Rankin said. "As a point guard, he has really great vision and is able to create for us on the offensive end."
Hawkey, a 6-4 forward, averaged 11.9 points and a team-best 7.3 rebounds per game last season. Rankin said he's counting on Hawkey, a second-team all-conference pick as a junior, to elevate his game even more in the post with the graduation losses of Mitchel Neubauer, Lance Klaubauf, Sonny Soquet and Peter Soto.
"He's going to have to do a lot of in-the-paint work — rebounding and shot-blocking," Rankin said. "He's our only true post player."
LeCaptain, a 5-10 guard, averaged 11.7 points per game and made a team-best 62 three-pointers last season. He was honorable mention all-conference as a sophomore.
"His ability to stretch the floor with his outside shot is huge for us," Rankin said.
The Eagles have only 15 players in their program, so Rankin is planning to carry six on varsity full time and rotate three others between junior varsity and varsity. The Eagles received a waiver from the WIAA that allows players to play three halves a night.
Rankin said his team is definitely capable of repeating as conference champs, but it's not going to be easy. He said the eight-team conference appears as balanced as ever.
"Oconto has everybody back," Rankin said. "Northeastern Wisconsin Lutheran has made the state tournament (three) years in a row and has a great program. Kewaunee returns the best player in the league in Zach Baumgartner. And Sturgeon Bay and Algoma are going to be tough,
"Across the board there are a lot of teams that could win this thing and will be in the conversation late in the season. We certainly believe we can be one of those teams. We have to be ready to go right from the beginning and stay hungry."
Packerland Conference
Coach: Bob Graf, sixth year.
2014-15 record: 19-5.
Key players: Alex Dellis (sr., 6-3), Jake Lifto (sr., 6-3), Casey Stangel (jr., 5-10), Max Grovogel (jr., 6-0).
Notable: Graf likes the toughness and defense displayed by his team, although consistent scoring and rebounding could be a weakness early. The team's junior varsity team went 20-2 last season, and several players from that squad are expected to be contributors this season. Lifto, Stangel and Grovogel all played significant varsity minutes last season.
Coach: Justin Burress, first year.
2014-15 record: 6-17.
Key players: Thor Johnson (sr., 6-1), Tyler Kropuenske (jr., 6-5), Nathan Sturgis (jr., 6-0), Anthony Laughlin (sr., 6-2), Ian Bennett (sr., 6-3), Connor Brennan (sr., 5-10), Casey Weddig (sr., 6-0).
Notable: Burress replaces Kent Sittle. The team will be a bit inexperienced having lost eight seniors. Johnson and Kropuenske combined to average 12.4 points per game last season.
Coach: Keil Ganz, second year.
Key players: Sam LeCaptain (so., 6-2), Noah Kleiman (sr., 6-1) Mitch Kudick (jr., 5-8), Wes Gallenberger (jr., 6-4), Cody Bultman (so., 5-11), Zachary Baumgartner (sr., 6-8).
Notable: Baumgartner will helped lead the way for the Storm. He was a unanimous first-team all-conference pick as a junior. Kewaunee has to replace the production of former star Logan Brusky, who was the league's co-player of the year last season.
N.E.W. Lutheran
Coach: Mark Meerstein, 25th year.
2014-15 record: 16-12.
Key players: Nathaniel Schaefer (sr., 5-11), Tanner Natzke (sr., 5-10), Samuel Meerstein (fr., 6-2), James Lana (sr., 5-10), Gabe Lloyd (sr., 6-5), Jed McClellan (sr., 6-3).
Notable: The Blazers have lost their first two games, including one to Southern Door. But they started last season 1-6 and ended up at the WIAA Division 5 state tournament. Schaefer, Natzke and Lloyd all started at state, giving N.E.W. some impact talent back to make another run. It has been to state each of the last three years.
Coach: John Bostedt, fifth year.
Key players: Jakob Jarvey (sr., 6-3),Brady Bostedt (sr., 5-10), Sawyer Koch (sr., 6-5).
Notable: The Blue Devils had a young team last season that was successful, and now with most of the roster back there could be another jump in the standings. Oconto has started the season 2-0.
Co ach: Andy Symons,third year.
Key players: Matt Newman (sr., 6-4).
Notable: The Pioneers have not won a conference game in the last two seasons, but they should be helped out with an experienced group that includes all five returning starters.
Coach: Josh Rankin, third year.
Key players: Mitchell Gerend (sr., 6-3), Trevor Hawkey (sr., 6-4), Nick LeCaptain (jr., 6-0), Derik LeCaptain (fr., 6-2).
Notable: The defending Packerland champions are set up to have another big season. Gerend is a four-year starter and is closing in on the career assist record at the school. The Eagles have three returning starters in Gerend, Hawkey and Nick LeCaptain, and all three were on the all-conference team last season.
Coach: Jim Benesh, 21st year.
Key players: Ryan Jackson (sr., 5-9), Cooper Nellis (sr., 6-2), Austin Lardinois (sr., 5-10), Rory Meikle (sr., 6-1), Kyle Medlen (sr., 5-10), Montana Gunnlaugsson (sr., 6-1), Edmon Kurschner (jr., 5-8).
Notable: The Clippers return three starters in Jackson, Nellis and Lardinois. It has to find a new point guard after senior Levi Haight decided to play club soccer this season. Kurschner should help fill the void. The team hopes to improve its shooting, which was an issue last season.

Where can I find samples of models of the mission?
Most of the missions display professional models of their mission in the mission gift shop and examples of models built by others as displays in the mission museum. The San Gabriel Mission has large models of all the missions on display. They were built by seminarians in 1930s.
You asked for some ideas and help in building a mission model in a shoebox, which is a pretty small space. Most of the models we have seen are built on a larger platform but if that is what the teacher has specified you can build a small model that would fit. You will not have enough space to build the entire mission complex so you will probably want to focus on the church.
The San Juan Capistrano Great Stone Church collapsed in 1812 in an earthquake but there is an artist recreation of what it looked like on our website at www.missionscalifornia.com in the Galleries section. To save you time I am posting a copy here.
To start your mission project you should cut out a piece of heavy cardboard or even better, have your mom or dad help you cut a piece of plywood that will fit inside the shoebox, so you have a firm foundation on which to work. You will find it easier to build the model on a separate base that is open to work on, then you can place the finished product inside the box after it is done..
There is a book Projects and Layouts by Kari Carnell and Libby Nelson that describes how to build a mission, describes materials you can use etc. You can also find some a lot of instructions on the Internet.
You will find that models can be made of sugar cubes, styrofoam. paper mache or almost anything. You start by drawing the lines for the church walls, fountains, walkways etc. on the base. You probably want to leave room for a path or steps leading to the church. When you get to the roof you can cut out and bend cardboard in the shape of the roof, and then add 'roof tile' by gluing elbow macaroni or rigatoni pasta to the top and painting it brown or redish brown.

Board Game Classics to Play at Christmas
By: Jan De Ryck - Updated: 6 Aug 2012 | *Discuss
Frankly, it's the best thing in the world. Lots of loved ones around one big table: everybody telling stories, enjoying great food, toasting the happy occasion and getting a little tipsy…there's nothing like it. A great way to prolong the joy is by playing board games together after dinner. Let's face it: it beats watching sports on television…
You may have already read all about Pictionary and drawing games (also in the Games section of this website), so we won't go into those again. Here are some other great "family classics":
This all-time favourite has been around for more than a couple generations now. Give the tiny wheel a spin to find out what big thing is going to be happening next in your "life": will you become a millionaire, go to jail, get a raise, tie the knot, go bankrupt or extend your family with yet another baby? Anything is possible. Yep, just like in the real world - and that's exactly why this game is so much fun.
Another one that is every bit as popular as the Game of Life, and for good reason. Monopoly will never go out of style, because (let's face it) everybody loves to become a millionaire - even if it's only with pretend money. It is however best to avoid this game when there's an undercurrent of financial trouble or jealousy running through your group - in that case what starts as a friendly game of Monopoly could trigger intense emotions of a kind you want to avoid at Christmas.
The butler did it! If only things were that simple…To avoid all confusion: yes, "Clue" is "Cluedo" - different name, same game. And it is of course the one where you get to play detective and figure out who committed that heinous crime… So put on your Sherlock Holmes hat, curl your moustache into a "Poirot" and break out the magnifying glass, because every little hint matters. Who is the smartest and most attentive crime-solver in the room?
Cranium is absolutely perfect for people who get bored easily: instead of playing one game, you get to play fourteen! Drawing with your eyes closed, humming songs, answering trivia questions, spelling words backwards: it's all in there - and then some! A game of Cranium could go on for a very long time, so make sure there's enough wood in the fireplace, brew another pot of coffee and put on some nice background music: you're in for hours of fun!
Where was Pope John Paul II born? Is an "oud" a musical instrument, a bird, a tool to change tires with or a kitchen appliance? What's Madonna's real name? How many Oscars has Francis Ford Coppola won so far? You'll absolutely adore a game of Trivial Pursuit. Winning doesn't even matter: the fun is in the - often beautifully random - questions. Oh, and the answers are Poland, musical instrument, Madonna Louise Ciccone and none.
Guess Who I am?
Give everyone a piece of paper and a pen.
Ask them to write the name of a famous person on the paper or the name of a person everyone around the table knows.
Then fold the paper up and tell everyone to do the same and put them all into a bowl and give it a shake.
Ask everyone to pick one from the bowl and not to open it.
Then take it in turns around the table to hold the piece of paper to your forehead so that you can't see what name is written on it but everyone else around the table can.
Then you have to ask questions about who you are that can only be answered with 'yes' or 'no' e.g. 'Am I a man?', 'Am I Famous?', 'Am I English?'
A game of fun for everyone to play and really funny when your Grandma is trying to guess she's Pamela Anderson!
Happy playing!

Jersey City, New Jersey Passes Law Mandating Paid Sick Leave For Workers
by admin on February 11, 2014
On October 21, 2013, Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop signed into law the Jersey City Earned Sick Time Ordinance, Ordinance 13.097 (the "Jersey City Earned Sick Time Ordinance," the "Earned Sick Time Ordinance," the "Ordinance," or the "JCESTO"). Effective January 24, 2014, the Earned Sick Time Ordinance requires employers in Jersey City, New Jersey which employ 10 or more employees to give each employee one hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours worked by the employee, up to five days (40 hours) of paid sick time per calendar year.
Further, also effective January 24, 2014, the Ordinance requires businesses in Jersey City, New Jersey which employ one to nine employees to afford, to each employee, one hour of unpaid sick time for every 30 hours worked, up to five days (40 hours) per year.
On September 25, 2013, the Jersey City Council had passed the Earned Sick Time bill by a vote of 7 to 1.
The Earned Sick Time Ordinance does not apply to governmental employees. Apart from this exclusion, the Ordinance applies to any employee who works within Jersey City for at least 80 hours in a year.
Employees of companies in Jersey City which employ 10 or more employees may carry over, from one calendar year to the next, up to 40 hours of accrued, unused paid sick leave mandated by the Earned Sick Time Ordinance. However, the JCESTO does not require an employer to allow an employee to use more than 40 hours of paid sick time in a calendar year.
Similarly, employees of companies in Jersey City which employ one to nine employees may carry over, from one calendar year to the next, up to 40 hours of accrued, unused, unpaid sick leave to which the Earned Sick Time Ordinance entitles them. That said, the JCESTO does not require an employer to permit a worker to use more than 40 hours of unpaid sick time in a calendar year.
Under the Ordinance, an employee may use paid sick time for any of the following purposes:
The employee's mental or physical illness, injury or health condition or need for medical diagnosis, care or treatment of a mental or physical illness, injury or health condition or need for preventive medical care; or
Care of a family member who needs medical diagnosis, care or treatment of a mental or physical illness, injury or health condition or who needs preventive medical care; or
Closure of the employee's place of business by order of a public official because of a public health emergency or the employee's need to care for a child whose school or childcare provider has been closed by order of a public official because of a public health emergency.
The Earned Sick Time Ordinance does not require employers, upon cessation of a worker's employment for the employer, to pay the worker for accrued, unused paid sick time.
The Jersey City Department of Health and Human Services (the "City Department of Health and Human Services") is authorized to enforce the Earned Sick Time Ordinance, adjudicate complaints, provide information about paid sick time, create notices and posters, and conduct audits and on-site investigations. In conducting audits and investigations, the City Department of Health and Human Services may interview workers and former workers in private, outside the presence of the employer. Each violation of the JCESTO is punishable by a fine of up to $1,250 and/or a period of community service not exceeding 90 days.
Further, the Earned Sick Time Ordinance creates a private cause of action by a worker or other aggrieved individual against an employer for violating the Ordinance. A worker or other aggrieved person need not submit a complaint to the Jersey City Department of Health and Human Services before suing an employer under the Ordinance.
Employers may not terminate, or otherwise retaliate against, an employee because the employee has exercised rights protected under the Ordinance. So, for example, a business may not fire, or otherwise strike back against, an employee for requesting and using paid sick time, or for submitting a complaint to the City Department of Health and Human Services about the employer's alleged violation of the Ordinance.
Jersey City is the seat of Hudson County, New Jersey. As of the 2010 U.S. Census, the population of Jersey City was 247,597, making it the second-most populous city in New Jersey, after Newark. About 30,000 employees work for employers in Jersey City, New Jersey which employ 10 or more employees.
Jersey City is the sixth city in the nation to enact a law mandating paid sick leave. The other five such cities are New York City; Portland, Oregon; San Francisco; Seattle; and Washington, D.C. See also this author's July 5, 2013 blog post about New York City's enactment of a law requiring paid sick time.
Take-Aways for Employers
Effective January 24, 2014, employers in Jersey City, New Jersey must modify their policies concerning absence due to illness to conform to the Earned Sick Time Ordinance. Businesses must revise their employee handbooks to incorporate these modified policies.
However, those companies in Jersey City that already have policies which allow time off that amounts to at least the minimum requirements under the JCESTO, and that can be taken for the same purposes and under the same conditions as set forth in the Ordinance, are not required to provide additional paid sick time.

DEEP WATER: THE MURDER BALLADS
Choreography by E. E. Balcos
Music by John Allemeier
Folk Songs performed by Riley Baugus
UNC Charlotte - College of Arts + Architecture
We are fascinated by tales of twisted, over-heated passions and their sometimes violent resolutions. Many people have at one time or another been subject to out-of-control emotions and the irrational feelings they spawn, not to mention what actions may follow. Is it any wonder that recently the nation, actually the world, has been obsessed with the Jodi Arias case where one lover killed the other?
Love and hate become entwined in a dance of life and death. History shows us this is not a new phenomenon. "Murder Ballads" about cases of love gone wrong in the extreme have been around and passed down generation to generation in the oral tradition of folk songs. UNC Charlotte brought three of them from North Carolina to life on stage at the Knight Theater on Friday night. Deep Water: The Murder Ballads, a creative melding of story, dance, and music, gives us another look at some of these old intriguing tales of misplaced love, or lust, or selfishness, or greed. The truth is mostly there, but it's difficult to be completely sure as history leaves room for interpretation, even as the stories have been embellished over the years. Researching the stories it is clear there are a number of variations on each of the three murder ballads presented.
Before each dance well-known folk singer and North Carolina native Riley Baugus, who is on the sound track of the movie Cold Mountain, and albums by Allison Krauss, Robert Plant, and Willie Nelson, gave us some history of the ballad, and sang the mostly mournful songs for the audience. He performed "Poor Ellen Smith", "Frankie Silver", and "Little Omie Wise".
The inspired choreography by E.E. Balcos, Associate Professor of Dance at UNC Charlotte, in each piece pays homage to the times, and especially to the everyday, hard-working North Carolinians of the 1800s. His distinctive dance interpretations give you a sense of time and place even as you sit watching the bare stage at the Knight Theater. The lifts performed are strikingly effective, not just male lifting female, but female lifting female, and male lifting male. The ensemble work of the dancers is admirable as well, with four in each piece, performing some arresting tableaux. Each dancer separately, and together, contributes to the overall program.
Composer John Allemeier, Associate Professor of Composition at UNC Charlotte, provides the music using different instruments to dominate giving each original piece a specific mood. The ability to work closely, and be flexible, with choreographer Balcos creates a unique ability to help shape the program. Credit also to the musicians: Scott Christian (timpani and percussion), Tomoko Deguchi (piano), Chris Fensom (trumpet), Erinn Frechette (piccolo/flute), Mira Frisch (cello), Sakira Harley (violin), Reese Manceaux (saxophone), Shawn Smith (conductor), John Sadak (clarinet), Kirsten Swanson (viola), and Jenny Topilow (violin).
The first dance Poor Ellen is about a teenage hotel worker at the Zinzendorf Hotel named Ellen Smith who became involved with a ner-do-well ladies man named Peter DeGraff, age 22. This ballad is well known to this day in the Winston-Salem area where it took place in 1892. Ellen was found shot through the heart in the woods behind the hotel, a note still in her pocket from DeGraff asking her to meet him there. Ellen (Audrey Ipapo Baran, delicate and graceful) and co-workers/friends (Tai Dorn and Melissa Jesse), are shown cleaning and scrubbing, socializing and occasionally stomping as though out dancing, along with her moments of excitement rushing off to clandestine meetings with DeGraff (E.E. Balcos, dynamic and precise). The connection between Ellen and DeGraff is visceral even as it flows, making it all the more poignant for poor Ellen. The music underscoring this dance combines the strings of violin, viola and cello invoking Appalachian themes.
Pieces of Silver is the next dance about a jealous teenage wife named Frances "Frankie" Silver (Tracie Foster Chan, elegant and radiant) who in 1833 in Burke county murdered her husband Charlie (Shane Lucas, muscular and charismatic), cut up his body with an axe, distributing some parts in the fireplace and under the floorboards of their house. E.E. Balcos provides interaction with Charlie, as Elizabeth Sturgis does for Frankie, whose facial expressions and movements show distain for Charlie. Uncertainty exists about the motive as Frankie and others claimed she was physically abused by her husband, but she was hanged for his murder anyway. The musical accompaniment to this piece added tonal complexities with flute and clarinet as well as percussion elements.
The final piece is Deep Water about Naomi "Omie" Wise (Tai Dorn, lively and expressive) who was killed in Randolph county. The ballad tells us that she was seduced and abandoned by her lover Jonathan Lewis (E.E. Balcos) who drowned her in the Deep River when he learned of her pregnancy. Again, there is conflicting information about the facts, but Lewis escaped before his trial, was eventually caught, tried, and acquitted of her murder. Audrey Ipapo Baran adds support as does Melissa Jesse who adds spirited movement here. It is said that Lewis confessed on his death bed, but even that is in contention. Lovely choreography of the dancers sliding across the stage on their backs cleverly suggests the sense of movement in water, while intermittent movements provide the aspect of drowning. The music during this piece seemed the most contemporary and complex, adding piano, saxophone, flugelhorn, trumpet and timpani to the mix.
Overall, this was an excellent example of combining separate artistic elements to create something innovative, something more expansive, that enhances the production more than the separate parts could bring alone to an audience. Obviously much work and great care had been put into this production, and it showed. I hope we see more programs like this from UNC Charlotte.

Our Five Favorite Sneezing Scenes in the History of Movies
Tom Foster 5 years ago
In a movie sneezing scenes can be comical or just kind of awkward, or even just flat out gross. But the reason some of them are so funny is that they tend to come out of nowhere if the actor is doing them right. Think about the dynamics of a sneeze and you'll understand. Something tickles the inside of your nose, the irritation or sensation grows stronger, and the next thing you know your body is forcing a reaction that seems to come out of left field and take you by surprise. The sneeze is usually something rather explosive but some people tend to keep it in to avoid slobbering all over the place.
Others just let it fly.
5. Angry Birds
This is a clear case of a person's mucous membranes working overtime, ALL the time. This bird's got enough slime coming out of his nose to fill a mason jar the size of a kiddie pool every few days it seems, and his sneezes are about as explosive as an industrial-strength power washer. This is kind of bird you really don't want to see fly since you could be certain that he'd be dropping streamers of gunk behind him everywhere he went. Yeah, gross.
4. Major Payne
It was bad enough the kid decided to try and poke fun at Major Payne, but then he seemed to get so intimidated that he couldn't help but sneeze. Of course when someone's just discharged their firearm into the air in order to get a bunch of kids to pay attention it kind of seizes a person up in that moment. I don't know hat that has to do with a person's nasal passages but it seems to have affected this kid.
3. The Neverending Story
Here's a word of advice, when the creature you're talking to has nasal passages that you could crawl into like a tunnel it's safe to assume that when they sneeze they're going to be coming out at hurricane force. Atreyu was muddy already so getting knocked back into the mud wasn't a big deal. But for a creature that exists in the muck the tortoise sure didn't snock out a large amount of gunk and glop.
2. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

One of the most epic sneezers in all of cinematic history is Sneezy. This guy can sneeze so loud and so hard that he sends things and people flying when it comes out. Plus, just about anything makes this guy sneeze. He could have hayfever, allergies, or just feel a tickle in his nose at any given moment and be ready to blow in the next instant. If only there was a way to weaponize that quality.
1. Dogma
In this movie you get the feeling that Loki is so bored that he's just looking for a reason to smite someone. It wouldn't matter if it's the most heinous crime in the world or someone forgetting to say "God bless you" after you sneeze. Anything that seems like a sin even in passing and he's in.
At least cover your mouth when you sneeze.

The nephew of model and actor Tyson Beckford was charged with murder after crashing a stolen truck into an MTA bus and killing the driver last month, the Manhattan district attorney announced Wednesday.
Domonic Whilby, 23, pleaded not guilty at his arraignment at state Supreme Court in Manhattan, according to the Manhattan district attorney's office. Whilby, who is in jail on remand, is also charged with aggravated vehicular homicide, vehicular manslaughter, burglary and assault.
Prosecutors say Whilby, who was partying and drinking with his famous uncle on Feb. 11, took a truck parked at a loading dock of a Meatpacking District hotel for a joy ride and drove it into an M14 bus with William Pena behind the wheel at Seventh Avenue and West 14th Street around 5:20 a.m.
Pena was ejected from the bus and died at the scene. Four other people were injured in the accident.
"The tragic death of William Pena was preventable, as are so many vehicular fatalities," Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance said in a statement.
Whilby, who told detectives he doesn't remember the accident, said the last thing he remembered was partying in Manhattan with Beckford, according to court documents and his attorney.
The attorney, Harvey Slovis, criticized the murder charge against Whilby and said he would appeal the judge's remand order.
"It is truly a manslaughter. It is not a murder," Slovis told amNY.
He added that Whilby is remorseful about his actions, having told detectives at the hospital to "just let me die."
"He feels terrible," Slovis said. "He's the nicest kid in the world. He's a lovely kid with no record."
Members of the Transport Workers Union Local 100 attended Whilby's arraignment.
"My brother William Pena came out to do a safe job for that day and he didn't make it home to his family," TWU recording secretary LaTonya Crisp-Sauray said outside the courthouse. "We will return at every court date for justice for our brother."

Is recent instability a cause for alarm for emerging market investors?
Over the last two decades, emerging markets have been attractive to investors and investment strategies have followed an ever globalising trend. High growth rates in developing nations have meant that large profits have been generated in riskier assets outside of the more stable markets that have long dominated global economics.
Often double-digit growth in the BRIC nations – Brazil, Russia, India and China – has seen wilful investors reap great profits through investing in countries with plentiful opportunities, which often carry a higher degree of risk.
However, despite the fact that emerging markets have generally matured, they are still subject to exaggerated economic cycles where both ascents and downturns are amplified. Over the past months, certain emerging markets have suffered and their fragility has been revealed.
Recent events in Turkey and Argentina have served as a reminder of just how vulnerable developing economies are to violent shocks.
Stubborn political tactics by Turkey's President Erdogan have caused market commentators to worry that he threatens the country's economic stability.
In the run-up to elections, Erdogan kept interest rates incredibly low – too low in fact, to contain Turkey's rocketing inflation. This caused the lira to plummet and placed Turkey on the brink of financial crisis.
Unsurprisingly, Erdogan – who has dominated national life for 15 years – was sworn in again in early July. His leadership worries many investors because his relentless drive for economic growth has seen Turkey's debt levels soar.
What's more, upon re-election, the populist leader handed the job of economic chief to his son-in-law, a clear sign that he is unwilling to adopt a responsible economic strategy any time soon.
A weak currency has also been a factor in Argentina's recent economic turmoil. Over the past year, the peso has lost a quarter of its value against the dollar and is at a record low. Interest rates have risen to an alarming 40%, stifling development throughout the country.
Should these events be cause for alarm? The short answer is "not really". What they highlight is the importance of assessing a local political situation when making investment choices. Political shocks can cause massive volatility in emerging markets, which are less resilient than those of developed countries.
Elsewhere, developing economies have been performing incredibly well. Brazil, propelled by rising oil prices, has emerged from a two-year recession as a buoyant opportunity for investors. Even Argentina, despite its recent economic woes, has a government unanimously praised among international investors for ending a long period of capital controls and re-establishing trust in Argentine economic data.
Investments in countries with governments that react quickly to externally driven economic deterioration are favourable. Here, a downturn in prices can even provide sharp investors with attractive buying opportunities.
However, investors should take a measured approach when investing in weaker emerging markets. Exaggerated movements are commonplace, so the potential for extreme volatility should be taken into account.
It is important to be mindful of the additional implications of investing in emerging markets if you choose to do so. Keeping a close eye on the local political context should always be on your agenda.


Children's smaller size makes them difficult for drivers to see. Watch for children standing between parked cars on the side of the road, or darting into the road from playgrounds, alleys and side streets.
Children have a harder time judging distances and vehicle speeds because of their age and development. This can result in misjudging whether it's safe to cross the street. Slow down whenever children are present.
Children too young for driver's education have little to no knowledge of traffic rules. It is critical that drivers keep this in mind whenever children are present, and not assume they will obey the "rules of the road." Drivers should always yield the right–of-way to pedestrians, especially children.
Come to a complete stop at all intersections with stop signs.
Eliminate driver distractions. Don't text or talk on your cell phone, especially when driving in school zones. Studies show that taking your eyes off the road for two seconds doubles your chances of crashing.
Anticipate delays. Plan ahead and leave early for your destination. Change your travel route to avoid school zones if possible.
Please do your part in ensuring the safety of school age children returning to classes this Fall!

Accidental poisoning is perhaps the biggest hazard associated with pica. Other complications include lead poisoning, malnutrition, tears in the intestine lining, constipation and blockages in the digestive tract. This disorder is common in pregnant women, people with mental disorders and in small children.
Pica is found in a wide variety of people. There are several reasons why someone might have this disorder, such as nutritional deficiency or the presence of a mental disorder. This disorder is often found in children. In fact, it is estimated that approximately 10 to 20% of children will obtain this disorder.
Those with pica consume or taste a wide variety of objects. The consumption of these objects results in many different problems.
Acuphagia – The consumption of sharp objects.
Amylophagia – The consumption of laundry starch, cornstarch, and other forms of purified starch.
Cautopyreiophagia – The consumption of burnt matches.
Geophagia – The consumption of sand, dirt and clay.
Lithophagia – The consumption of stones.
Plumbophagia – The consumption of lead.
Pagophagia – The consumption of ice.
Trichophagia – The consumption of hair.
Such complications can be very damaging to the health of a person and eating disorder residential programs across the country desire to help any sufferers. Pica can be a very dangerous eating disorder, and its presence should be addressed and analyzed by those at a qualified eating disorder treatment center.

Virtual Reality to tell stories
Home Critics Virtual Reality to tell stories
By Daniel Bydlowski Critics 04/05/2018
Storytelling is part of human culture. We count on to entertain ourselves, leave us alone, frighten, remember and learn. This has happened at least since human history began to be documented, and there is evidence that ancient homo sapiens based their rituals on tales that memorized their ancestors and prepared them for future hunting.
The invention of cinema has revolutionized not only how we capture images and how we project them in motion, but also how we tell stories. While literature has always given us the possibility of listening to a narrator – or even what a character is thinking – and the theater has enabled us to witness characters in conflict, the cinema brings both. With the seventh art, we can "see" or "feel" the thoughts of the characters, even when they do not speak what is in their mind (of course, only good actors can communicate what they think without using words).
This characteristic of the cinema guarantees the catharsis, or at least the momentary immersion on the part of the spectator, in the history of a third person. In other words, we are part of a character's life and we can see his story through his own eyes (especially when the camera itself shows us what he sees). Thus, we create empathy with others and see the world differently.
Now in 2018, virtual reality technology becomes more popular than ever, especially as the experience of being transported into a new world becomes more "realistic." However, this technology can be used both to tell the story of others and to turn the attention of those who use it to themselves.
Unlike the literature and cinema, the virtual reality viewer always occupies the central place in the plot or in the video game games. That is, we always witness the VR plot with our own eyes, not with the eyes of other characters. This does not happen even in the theater, where at least we occupy a specific but not central place in the audience. In virtual reality, we are the center of the universe.
This has led directors like Steven Spielberg to point out the danger of technology to the big screen. Thus, we can not see this new media only as a development of cinema, but as a technology still in the beginning of its growth and that can take any direction. The danger pointed out by Spielberg comes about when VR becomes similar to social media, where each one accesses first-person sites and always in order to pay attention to himself (or try to attract attention to himself).
Even when someone gets excited about some post on some social media, for example, he just shares the post or writes some comments to express what he feels, something that can not be compared to the possibility that the cinema gives of becoming other people, even for a few hours (real people, in case of documentaries).
It is still possible, however, to tell stories in VR. Although the spectator's ability to look anywhere makes it impossible to use traditional cinema features (such as the choice between a close-up and a general plan, or even the framing), other strategies, such as lighting and sound, can direct the attention of those who use it so that filmmakers and virtual reality artists can tell stories and make the viewer empathize with others in a stronger way.
Films like Pearl by Patrick Osborne or NanoEden, of my own, follow this strand and create stories for technology. The future will probably be a mix of virtual reality projects that feed into the viewer's central plane and projects that try to lead the same to feel what different characters feel through stories that somehow increase empathy with others.

Luis Alfonso Ravaschino (15 January 1903 - 30 March 1988) was an Argentine footballer, who played as forward, most of his career for the Club Atlético Independiente, becoming one of the club's historic topscorers and one of the most notable players during the 1920s and 1930s.

With Independiente, Ravaschino won 4 titles: Primera División 1926 Aam and 3 consecutive Copa Competencia in 1924, 1925 and 1926.

Ravaschino is also placed 4th as club's all-time topscorer with 136 goals scored. He was the leading topscorer at the 1924 Aam championship with 15 goals (sharing the top position with Ricardo Lucarelli of Sportivo Barracas).

Career
Ravaschino started his career playing at the fifth division of Sportivo Barracas (located on his place of birth) in 1918. In 1923 he debuted in Independiente, where he would play 12 consecutive years scoring 136 goals for the club.

He was one of the most notable players that formed the 1926 team, forming a powerful attacking line along with Canaveri, Lalín, Seoane and Orsi. Independiente won the title finishing unbeaten that season.

Ravaschino also played for the Argentina national team in 1924 although he only played 2 matches (both against Uruguay) with no goals scored.

When football became professional in Argentina in 1931, Ravaschino scored the first goal of Independiente in the professional era during a match against Argentinos Juniors, on 4 June that same year. In 1934 he left the club after 12 years, signing for the Club Atlético Lanús where he played one season before his retirement as a footballer. His last goal scored was on September 1, 1935 against Chacarita Juniors.

After his short tenure in Lanús, Ravaschino became manager, coaching Los Andes, Talleres (BA), Banfield (where he won the title in 1946 promoting to Primera), Independiente and Lanús. He also worked as broadcaster for the radio show "Ases del Deporte" ("Aces of Sports"), sharing the microphone with other former footballers such as Juan Carlos Muñoz, Roberto Cherro and Natalio Perinetti.

Making money is not a crime
While share markets panic, this Japanese day trader makes $48 million while in his pyjamas
Posted on August 28, 2015 by Henry

While investors around the world were hitting the panic button during the global share sell-off on Monday, a Japanese day trader who'd made a big bet against the market timed the bottom almost perfectly.
Giving a play-by-play of the trade to his 40,000 Twitter followers, he claims to have walked away with $US34 million ($48 million).
As financial markets got crazy this week, many people turned cautious. Some were paralysed. Not the 36-year-old day trader known by the Internet handle CIS.
"I do my best work when other people are panicking," he said in an interview Tuesday, about an hour after winding up the biggest trade of a long career betting on stocks. He asked that his real name not be used because he's worried about robbery or extortion. To support his claims, he shared online brokerage statements showing his trades second by second.
CIS had been shorting futures on the Nikkei 225 Stock Average since mid-August, wagering it would fall. By the market close on Monday, a paper profit of $US13 million was staring him in the face. He kept building the position. When he cashed out late that night, a collapse in New York had caused his profit to double.
Instead of celebrating, he kept trading. He started betting the market had bottomed. When he finally took his winnings off the table on Tuesday, he tweeted, "That's the end of my epic rebound trade." His profit, he said, had almost tripled.
"It was a perfect trade," said Naoki Murakami, who follows CIS on Twitter and whose markets blog has made him a minor celebrity in his own right.
Trash talking
Last year, when he was the subject of this profile story, CIS said that in a decade of day trading, mostly from a spare bedroom in a rented apartment, he had amassed a fortune of about $US150 million. At the time, he shared tax returns and brokerage statements to back up his claims. One document showed he had traded $US14 billion worth of Japanese equities in 2013 — about half of 1 per cent of all the share transactions done by individuals on the Tokyo Stock Exchange that year.
CIS became a cult figure among Japan's tight-knit community of day traders by trash talking on internet message boards early in his career.
He's notorious for lines like "Not even Goldman Sachs can beat me in a trade." Last year he opened a Twitter account, on which he talks about video games and, regularly, his trading. It's impossible to say how many of his followers are also day traders, and how many of those buy and sell in his wake. Those who do, of course, are quite possibly helping him make money.
Playing poker
During this week's interview at a Tokyo coffee shop, where he had agreed to talk before continuing on to a poker game with buddies, he explained his recent trades step by step. Dressed in a plain gray T-shirt with a flannel shirt tied around his waist, he was monitoring a brokerage account on his iPad and had a $US1600 burgundy under one arm, a 2003 Domaine de la Romanee- Conti. (It wasn't a celebratory bottle, he said; he drinks a lot of good wine.)
"Of course I'm happy about today, but you win some and you lose a lot, too," he said, explaining the Greek financial crisis had cost him about $US6 million.
CIS said he has no idea whether or not China is going to drag down the global economy. He doesn't even care. When he trades, he tracks volumes and price moves to follow the momentum. For him the basic rule is: "Buy stocks that are being bought, and sell stocks that are being sold."
Latest trade
The latest trade began on August 12, when CIS noticed a shift in equity markets he hadn't seen for a while. Shares in the major indexes were struggling to recover from sell-offs. He started shorting Nikkei futures: 200 contracts the first day and another 1300 over the following week and a half.
The stakes were enormous. With 1500 contracts at a notional value of about $US160,000 each, his bet against the Nikkei was about $US240 million. For every 100 yen move in the index, he stood to make or lose $US1.25 million.
The market was mostly flat over the next few days; CIS bided his time playing video games. Then last Friday, August 21, the Nikkei dipped. On Monday, the index plunged the most in two years, and the futures fell more than 1000 points to 18,410. By the close at 3 pm in Tokyo, his profit stood at about $US13 million.
Feedback loop
This is the point where most traders would take their money off the table and call it a year. Not CIS.
"I'm adding to my position," he wrote on Twitter. "Then I'm going to go for a walk and prayer."
He sold 100 more futures contracts. Two hours later, he sold another 100. His bet against the Nikkei had risen to about $US275 million. He would lose $US1.4 million for every 100-yen increase in the index.
His logic for hanging on to the trade until the US open, at 10:30 pm Tokyo time, was this: Panic would grip American investors returning from a weekend after they saw the scope of Asian selling, including Shanghai's 8.5 per cent plunge. That would trigger selling, which, in a feedback loop, would pull Nikkei 225 futures down violently amid the thin volume of late- night trading.
"I figured there would be a lot of fear around the US open and that's what I was aiming for," he said.
On cue, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 6 per cent in early trading. Nikkei futures tumbled again, dipping 1250 yen below the 3 pm closing level. CIS, home in his pyjamas, finally cashed out his short position. His profit had hit $US27 million.
'Too delicious'
There was still more money to be made from the panic though. Some investors that night were willing to pay a hefty premium for options that protected against the Nikkei crashing below 10,500. That would be a collapse of almost 40 per cent. In CIS's view, these investors were looking to buy insurance against a near impossibility.
He was happy to take the other side of that trade. The contracts were worth another $US250,000 to him. He made the first deal within 10 seconds of what would prove to be the market's bottom at 10:34 pm.
"Too delicious," he tweeted.
About an hour later, as he became more confident in a rebound, he started buying Nikkei futures. Now the play was the opposite of the short bet he'd started the day with. By 1 o'clock Tuesday morning, he'd accumulated 970 contracts, a $US145 million wager that the market would start to climb.
He made one more trade before bed: a few more option contracts sold to straggling panickers. Those were worth $US6,250. By now, at 1:40 am, he was a rich man stooping to pick up pennies.
He dashed off a last tweet at 2 am. "What a day. Still holding on to all my buys," he wrote. "Time to sleep."
The rebound trade
CIS returned to Twitter five hours later. Nikkei futures opened at about 18,000 and slowly recovered. Early that afternoon, he closed out his long position.
At the coffee shop later that day, CIS was pretty nonchalant for man who had made tens of millions of dollars in less than 24 hours. For him, it was just one trade out of thousands he would make this year.
"When a trade goes right I feel like bragging a little, but I don't get on Twitter to talk about it if I lose," he said with a laugh.

Staying Grounded In the Entertainment Business: One Young Artist's Perspective
In an entertainment world where pop sensations like Jessica Simpson and Katy Perry grew up as pastor's kids, young performers today continue to face the challenge of keeping their faith while working in mainstream entertainment. It's a familiar tale in Hollywood; one that's usually about achieving success and rarely about faith. In Grace Unplugged, the upcoming film due in theaters October 4th, Grace Trey (played by Christian music's AJ Michalka) struggles with the transition from being a worship leader in her small local church, to becoming a fast-rising recording artist.
The Perfect Role
Michalka herself is no stranger to the difficulties of balancing faith and fame. As a Disney teen pop sensation, along with her sister Ally, she has faced many of the same challenges her character does in the movie. However, her perspective on her role in the music business is quite different than Grace's.
"I feel like there is a group of God's little soldier warriors who are a light in this industry who are really, really important," Michalka shares with uptv.com. "I don't think that as a young artist or a young actor you have to compromise. I think you can be really wise about the decisions you make. It might take a little longer to get to a point you want to get to in your career, but it's worth it because as a person inside you feel better later… I feel like my sister and I just having a really good team around us, having each other, having really grounded parents, we've been able to make some great decisions that have shaped and molded us, which I think is so important."
Unfortunately that's not always the case for young stars. Some have had to mature to adulthood in the spotlight, and as a result make provocative career choices to create shock value and shed the squeaky-clean image they're branded with.
But Michalka sees things differently.
"I think it's important to mature naturally and gracefully. For some reason people feel like it's exciting or powerful or shocking to grow up super fast. 'Look at me. I've changed so much.' I feel like we were intended to naturally form into the women we are supposed to be instead of shoving and pushing that along. I hope that I have a young soul my whole life but also have the wisdom and discernment that an adult can bring with knowledge and time and years lived. It's this important balance of still enjoying being a kid, especially in this business, but also making decisions that are adult-like. I don't think it should ever be a rush. I think we were meant to grow and mature at a pace that is the Lord's, not ours."
Critics Say…
The value of positive movies like Grace Unplugged is the ability to open up discussion about the challenges faced by young people in the entertainment industry. The film illustrates the choice most every young person of faith must make at some point, with the added hardship of choosing under the intense scrutiny of the public eye.
As Michalka reminds us, our dreams and talents don't originate from us. "We don't just create these goals or dreams. They're put in us by the Lord. And I really feel like people selfishly put what they want to do ahead of other things, instead of asking themselves 'Is this something God wants me to do?'"
Grace Unplugged presents circumstantial challenges in a positive and entertaining way. In a world where young people in the spotlight often appear misguided, it's a nice change of pace to see characters – and the actors playing them – who are staying grounded.
