This month's tea is filled with the love and care of some amazing people we'd like to introduce to you. Many of you who have been to our center know about the great influence Master Tsai has had on all that we do. He is a teacher, a brother and a great tea sage - one that will surely constellate our sky along with the tea masters of ages past. He shares tea and wisdom with a spirit we tea lovers have all encountered, freely given the way tea trees open their crown and offer leaves to passerby. When you begin to understand how lovingly tea longs to be human, you more easily recognize its spirit shining in the eyes of tea brothers and sisters like Master Tsai.
Master Tsai studied tea for more than twenty years, often dreaming of a place where he could share his bliss with others. He knew that wisdom is nothing if not shared with the world. Of course, the Dao made way for him and his Long Cui Fang (櫳翠坊) teahouse was created. The two characters "Long Cui (櫳翠)" in the name come from the classical novel Dream of the Red Chamber. It was the name of the place where one of the characters, Miao Yu, lived. Miao Yu was the one who understood tea best.
Amidst the hustle of Taipei, Long Cui Fang is a gem. There is no sign or billboard outside. It is tucked away in a small alley, and known only to those who seek. Tea is by appointment only, and when you arrive there is not any tea for sale on display, only spirit.
As you read this you might be wondering if this is an advertisement, which would run contrary to everything Global Tea Hut stands for. If you are asking yourself whether you will have to read about teahouses and/or vendors every issue, don't worry. We can't advertise Long Cui Fang to you because we have never felt that it was a place to simply go and buy tea. Master Tsai is generous with his tea and wisdom, and the fact that all the tea is kept in a back room where it won't disturb those who are there to enjoy a cup of pure tea says a lot. He donated this month's tea with great enthusiasm and joy, and not a trace of self-promotion. We are full of such gratitude and praise for him because of how much he has taught us, and because the praise is honest and worthy.
Master Tsai's card expresses his philosophy best: "Lost, Trained, Found". In his words: "In this loud world, full of such dust, we all lose our heart (lost), after cultivation (trained), we again find our heart (found). One day we naturally breathe in and then out, realizing that we actually never lost anything. Our heart was always with us!"
We have been discussing a lot about socalled "real" tea: propagated by seeds, in ecological gardens where the trees are allowed to grow up large, and given the space to do so. But as we mentioned before, this kind of tea has a glaring defect, which is that there will never be enough of it for us all. For that reason, we'll need some plantation tea as well. And this issue isn't black or white. Don't dismiss the quality of properly grown, organic tea - plantation or otherwise! Remember, we like to focus only on whether a tea is living or not, and this month's tea, as you'll soon see for yourself, is definitely alive. Our Tea of the Month for April is a green oolong (Qing Xiang) from Central Taiwan. These lighter oolongs are a great introduction to Taiwanese tea. They are fragrant and clean, with a refreshing aftertaste. And when they are organic and alive, like this one, their simplicity and clarity draws you in.
Our tea was grown in Nantou County. The farmer's name is Mr. Xie, and his family has been growing and producing tea for three generations. Besides their greener oolong, presented here, they also produce traditional charcoal roasted teas, GABA, and even some red tea. Perhaps we'll have some of their other teas for you in future months. In 2002, the Xie family farm passed MOA certification.
* As we mentioned last month, we recommend letting the tea get over its jet lag. Let it sit a week or two and become acclimatized. Brew the tea as you wish, with slightly cooler water. You may want to use half the bag or so per steeping.


It's that time again for another free pattern!
I love making Christmas gifts for my boys. I have to be sneaky when I make them which means staying up until 1 am almost every night until I am done. This year, I somehow managed to finish their gifts way ahead of time. It was my own Christmas miracle!
My oldest said he wanted a giant die to use while playing his plethora of board games. It's a really easy and quick project. It does require quite a bit of yarn and a good amount of stuffing if you make it as big as I did. The most difficult part of it was finding a bag large enough to put it in!
When making the dots, you will be working in a continuous round. It is recommended that you use a stitch marker to help you keep track of the beginning of your rounds.
Sew the dots on each side. I used a die to make sure that I was sewing them to look like a real die.
Join white yarn in any corner and begin to sc two squares (see picture below). Make sure they are the corresponding squares as pictured above. You won't be able to sc them all in a continuous round. Simply fasten off when you get to a "dead end" and then attach the yarn to join the remaining openings.
Before closing your last side, begin stuffing your die with fiber fill. I purchased a large 5 pound box with my 50% off coupon at Joann's. I barely used a ¼ of it but it was much more economical than purchasing a bunch of smaller bags of stuffing. I make a lot of amigurumi so bulk size makes sense for me. If you won't be using stuffing a lot, buying a bag or two might be sufficient.
Have fun making your giant die!

The state-level competitors won regional contests held throughout the state this spring. First- and second-place winners at the state competition advance to the National History Day contest June 9-13 at the University of Maryland-College Park.
National History Day is the nation's leading educational program for history education in schools. The program annually draws more than half a million participants from 48 states and the District of Columbia.
Wisconsin History Day involves students in grades six through 12 with separate categories for the Junior Division and Senior Division. Seven entry categories in each division provide for individual and group projects in formats ranging from traditional research papers to dramatic performances, documentaries and exhibits.

UpClose with Lauren Kingry
By: Evan Wyloge August 20, 2010
Lauren Kingry (Photo by Evan Wyloge/Arizona Capitol Times)
Lauren Kingry was looking for a way to make some money while attending Friends University in Wichita, Kan., where he took a job working as a mail boy in a family-owned bank. He had no idea it would be the beginning of a four-decade career in banking, leading to a position overseeing the Arizona Department of Financial Institutions, the regulating agency for 3,800 businesses across the state.
Kingry said the fact that he was the CEO of a failed bank distracts from his accomplishments. Moreover, he said, it overshadows the important lessons he learned from the experience, which are applied each day as his agency evaluates the soundness of financial institutions and their practices.
But at heart, Kingry says he's just a farm boy who loves to ride his John Deere lawn mower and tinker with his 1931 Ford Model A — the first vehicle he ever owned.
Describe your work.
Of the many businesses that operate in Arizona, each has a license to do business in the state, and that license has to be accomplished by somebody. So 18 of those specific licenses have been assigned to the Department of Financial Institutions.
It grew out of just banking and credit unions, but as other industry types came about they were added to this agency.
What do you feel is least understood about your agency?
I think the most misunderstood is all of the license types. The DFI (Department of Financial Institutions) probably becomes reasonably clear when you talk about banks and credit institutions. They are large and visible and it's very common for some state or federal agency to be responsible for their supervision, but there are 16 other license types grouped under DFI.
So I think probably the most misunderstood is why they were added, what causes them to be under the DFI. Probably the easy answer for me is that all of them have to deal with the transfer of money or the granting of credit to an individual.
Of those different types of licenses, which do you think stick out for the average person as unexpected?
Probably the license that is connected with car dealerships, because your first thought of car dealerships is that they are in the business of buying and selling cars, not that they are in the business of financing of cars, so that's one that was a surprise to me.
A new license that we are all dealing with now is the license for loan mortgage originators that are not employed at a national bank or a federally supervised bank. That is new.
What's the biggest challenge in regulating this industry?
We have an unprecedented economic challenge — not only globally or within the state, but in our own homes. And that translates directly into these licensees.
So there is a more deliberate frequency that we must step in and supervise these licensees, because they're dealing with the transaction of money. They're dealing with people's credit, with people's lives. So the economy itself has been a challenge because the frequency of our examinations is more critical.
The other challenge for DFI is that we, along with many of my agency colleagues, are dealing with limited resources and limited budget resources.
That and a very troubled economy make up my biggest challenge — managing the timely frequency of those exams.
What could go wrong if the proper management of those examinations doesn't happen?
Since the licensees have some diverse aspects to them, it's difficult to make a wide statement, but what I would tell you is that in the banking and credit world, there could be lending techniques, there could be concentrations of lending types that would be outside of their licensed purview and their safe and sound business practices.
So we go into those banks frequently, in order to ensure ourselves that they have not strayed from that particular plan, as it relates to escrow and title agencies and collection agencies. Some people could, in fact, be using unauthorized procedures.
In collections, for example, they could move into a harassing-type environment, or changing their business approach, which is not approved by statute, and which is unacceptable for safety and soundness.
What are your thoughts on the recently passed financial reform package?
It's significant for our time. It will be significant to interpret for several years to come, and it will cause several more laws to be written and rules to be written in order to define what it means.
Anything that is over 2,000 pages has got to have a great deal of scope to it. So I think it will change some of the landscape for banks and banking. It may change a bit of the landscape for Arizona, and we're just being informed of that now.
Are banks doing enough to address the foreclosure crisis going on right now?
I think they are. If you look at a bank as being an individual business, the amount of activity they can provide in bringing and helping with foreclosure, stopping a foreclosure, being communicative about a foreclosure or being able to be compromising about a foreclosure is based on the health of that business.
That business has been compromised across the board.
In good times, if you asked me this question, I would tell you the banks could probably do more. Now they are compromised just as much as the economy is, so they are looking at their own bottom line, looking at their soundness, and they're doing what they can. But the economy has brought such a volume of foreclosure, that it's sometimes a stalemate.
Sometimes they can't do more because it will hurt them even greater, and then we have regulations that they must follow in order for them to stay sound. It is a dilemma for them also. I would say that the banks that we supervise, in the state, I'm surprised at the number of things they are doing to help with the foreclosures.
How can banks improve what they do with foreclosures?
I think I would encourage the banks to be more clear and quicker on their decisions, from what I've observed. Sometimes the foreclosure process is drawn out a long way. Sometimes it harms the customer and the bank when there is indecision on what to do.
What advice would you give to individuals who are either about to go into a foreclosure, or who are in the middle of the process?
I would suggest not to let any question go unasked, and to be as transparent as you can with your lender. Once you've come to a point where it may mean the loss of a home or business, you've now stepped into a time when transparency and complete clarity about your situation and what your needs are and what your limitations are.
So I would encourage the willingness to explain fully, honestly, transparently to that lender. When that lender sees that, it would be my understanding that would be the best starting ground to make their decisions quickly and transparently and understanding where you're coming from.
When banks make a decision to take a loss on a foreclosure rather than renegotiate the terms of the mortgage, just so they don't set a precedent for allowing a wide range of renegotiation, are they worsening the foreclosure crisis for the sake of shorter-term demands?
Foreclosure and facing a loss in a financial institution on a transaction is very serious, because the decision to take that loss is harmful for the balance sheet of the bank, but it's also making a decision about the value of the stock for the stockholders of the bank.
So each decision point is really important to see if it causes a belief that the bank will always react in this manner or a belief that the bank is not doing enough, or that the bank is only being driven by the regulator and not by common sense or practice. So it's very difficult to really analyze overall how banks are reacting with their foreclosures, and (whether) it's causing a greater trouble.
But I'll tell you that I think their methodology for weighing the health and welfare of their organization, given this elongated problem — if it were a shorter-term problem, then I think we could be more critical of the banks, but this is longer-term. So they've got to weigh out what they can handle, and what is going to be acceptable for customer understanding, and what is going to be in the best interest of the customer in the long term, whether to renegotiate or take a loss.
Have you personally gotten a bad rap because you were the CEO of a failed bank?
No, other than the initial headline.
It was a nine-month consulting event, in a 39-year career in banking. Actually, it has caused some extremely good experience for what I am now involved in — that is regulation — and in the most unfortunate circumstance, closure of banks and credit unions if it's necessary.
I was asked to come in as a consultant, and one who had the expertise to possibly have that bank recover. It was too late, and we could do too little.
So, other than the initial advertising of that being a part of my career, it's probably given me experience and strength to do what I'm doing now.
But you were the CEO of a failed bank. So for the person who only heard that fact about the new head of the DFI, what details fill in the more complete picture of you and your experience?
It's real common for banks, credit unions, businesses that find themselves moving into a very critical health and soundness situation to change management. That's what this bank did. The board saw a concern.
They brought in a credentialed banker who had knowledge of the area and of banking. You bring these people in with the knowledge that you may be in too deep.
I think the information of more importance is that I was found to be one who had the credentials who could possibly save it, but the chance of failure was always there. And it was the only experience I've ever had with (bank failure), and it wasn't my interest to have it end that way. We did everything we could.

To help ensure a healthy environment for current and future generations
Why Bridgestone /
Responsibilities /
The Bridgestone Group has more than 190 production and development locations in 25 countries, business presence in more than 150 countries, and a combined workforce of around 140,000 employees. Our global Environmental Mission Statement acts as a common philosophy to which each of our employees adheres to as they do their jobs on a daily basis.
The philosophy behind the Global Environmental Mission Statement
In May 2011, the company refined its Environmental Mission Statement. The mission itself stayed the same -"to help ensure a healthy environment for current and future generations…" - and it serves as the company's unchanging environmental philosophy. To highlight further steps the company is taking to support that mission, the Bridgestone Group declared its commitment to working together with its many stakeholders in order to realize a sustainable society. Furthermore, by outlining the direction of our long-term environmental activities and expressing them in simpler terms, we aim to further raise the environmental awareness of all members of the Group and encourage their engagement in initiatives aimed at achieving a more sustainable society.
In the Environmental Mission Statement, we also clearly indicate the "three areas*1 of environmental progress" and the "two core strategies*2 for growth." We feel that by outlining these areas and strategies in simplified terms, understanding is promoted, and all employees belonging to the Bridgestone Group can engage in activities in their respective positions that are in support of our environmental goals.
To ensure everyone in the Bridgestone Group is exposed to the Environmental Mission Statement, it has been translated into 20 languages and is displayed in every Bridgestone Group business. We also use various educational opportunities, such as e-learning, training programs and environmental intranets, to support employees in understanding the connection between the Environmental Mission Statement and the work they do each day. Results from an internal survey on the Environmental Mission Statement conducted in November 2011 at Bridgestone Corporation, showed that the refinements of the Environmental Mission Statement have led to increased interest in participating in environmental activities. The Bridgestone Group will continue to work to create a work atmosphere in which employees feel empowered to promote environmental activities that help support the company's Environmental Mission Statement.
Global and Regional Projects
"MAKE CARS GREEN" is a global environmental campaign which was started by the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) in 2008. It has aimed to help reduce the impact of cars on the environment and help drivers think "green" before they drive. Bridgestone has continuously promoted this environmental initiative by communicating "10 points for greener monitoring" to motorists in each country since its start.
Visit the Global Site for more information
In line with its status as a company with a vast global presence, Bridgestone recognizes that its initiatives have a significant impact on the Earth's environment. To raise environmental awareness and encourage greener activities to contribute to achieving a sustainable society, Bridgestone launched the "I'm going green with Bridgestone" campaign in the Asia Pacific region since 2010. Through this campaign, Bridgestone continuously promotes a string of activities that include encouraging the use of Bridgestone's eco-friendly tyres, advocating greener motoring habits, as well as environmental activities involving Bridgestone employees and the local communities in the region.

Rashid Al Dhaheri future F1 driver
Young Emirati wants to follow in Fernando Alonso's footsteps
While kids play computer games or watch TV on weekends Rashid is training
Coach impressed by the determintaion and aptitude of the 5 year old prodigy
Rashid al Dhaheri is a little kid who is making a big impact on the local karting scene, with the goal of making all the way to Formula 1 and he is only five years old!
On 8 April 2014 young Dhaheri will turn six, yet on track he is beating older rivals and causing quite a stir on the local scene under the protective guidance of his father Ali Al Dhaheri.
The late great Ayrton Senna once said that "racing is in my blood" and the same can be said of diminutive Rashid who is also a huge fan of Fernando Alonso, using a replica race suit of Spain's two time world champion when he is out on track.
In fact it all started in 2011, at the age of three, when Rashid made his first visit to the Ferrari pit box during the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix. He was enthusiastically standing in front of the Ferrari garage for hours mesmerised by the work going on, the sound of the engines and the pit stop practices.
This was noticed by the Ferrari crew who took Rashid inside their pit box where he got to meet Alonso, and from that moment on Rashid knew what his future should be. Since that day he has not missed a grand prix in his home city.
The bug had bitten and after his first visit to the inner sanctum of Ferrari, it was all the youngster could talk about and at such a young age he told his parents that he wanted to race – to become for the UAE a world champion like Alonso is for Spain.
This set in motion a series of contacts and developments which resulted in Rashid travelling to Italy, in January 2013, where he undertook an intensive training program in junior karting. This in turn led to his first race on 4 October 2013 at Al Ain Raceway at the opening round of the 2013-14 UAE Rotax Max Challenge Series where the cream of the country's karting gathered.
Karting is the natural first step in the ladder to Formula 1 or any career in motorsport for that matter. Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, Kimi raikkonen and of course Alonso and every driver on the F1 grid starts off karting – many of them having started to race karts at around same age as Rashid.
It is noteworthy that although karting for kids four to five years of age is common abroad, and even among expat kids living in the UAE, this is a unique situation for an Emirati. Traditionally UAE youngsters tend to start racing in their early teens, thus Rashid is blazing a brand new trail in his homeland and is by far the youngest new kid on the block.
The 2013-2014 UAE karting season started in October with Rashid on the Bambino grid, among other five to eight year olds who contest the series. To say that Rashid is making good progress is an understatement as he recently scored two dominant wins at Dubai Kartdrome in January, the occasion of his first anniversary as a kart racing driver. He smashed the Kartdrome lap record in the process.
For the remainder of the season Rashid will compete in the Bambino class, while continuing with his training and development program. Further international training in Italy is being planned with the view to participating in selected European kart series for his age group.
As for the long term future, Rashid's father Ali explained, "Given his young age, we are currently looking at Rashid's development in terms of graduating through the different karting age group classes here in the UAE and overseas. However, in the long term, Rashid has a very focused objective which he is passionate and highly motivated to achieve. Some kids want to become policemen, or fire fighters, but Rashid is adamant he wants to become 'a Formula 1 driver, drive for Ferrari and win races for the UAE' and often he quite blatantly says 'I want to be the next Fernando Alonso' and with that attitude there is no stopping him."
Currently Rashid is coached by Paul Chatenay who is well known within UAE karting community as a highly experienced international driver. Paul has represented UAE four times in a row at the SWS World Finals. Last year, he was vice world champion in the SWS series, thus has the required skills and experience to teach and transfer knowledge to Rashid.
Chatenay has developed a challenging and active program to oversee all aspects of Rashid's development as a driver here in the UAE. While helping him build the technical and physical attributes necessary to be successful in such a demanding sport.
When asked for feedback on Rashid, Chatenay's face lights up, he talks of his young protege with great enthusiasm, "What makes Rashid special is how he listens to what you teach him, and then without hesitation adapts what he has been taught immediately on track. This is remarkable considering his age. I have seldom seen a kid progress so rapidly in karting from never driving to top step of the podium in one year is a great achievement. I believe he is the real deal and along with his family support he can go a long way in motor racing."
While most kids are fussing over their Playstations or parked in front of a TV on weekends Rashid is training hard. Before race events he goes for regular afternoon training sessions and will spend all day at the track working on different aspects of his driving under the guidance of Chatenay, who coaches him on how to improve his race lines and driving techniques. After the session, they always have a debriefing session to address issues that arise during the training. The objective is to ensure that Little Alonso is optimally prepared for his next race.
Kids with talent in any sport they choose need sponsorship or a benefactor to ensure they have the best of the best at their disposal, in motor racing this financial backing is a vital element of a young driver's progress.
If motor sport is to grow and flourish in the UAE the sport needs to have local heroes as champions. For that to happen there must be support for young Emiratis. By backing Rashid these benefactors or companies will be playing an active role nurturing and developing a talented and hugely dedicated young Emirati, who quite clearly has great potential, to make it in an expensive sport.
Being associated with such a young role model and an individual who will be raising the flag for the UAE across the world can only bring positive benefits and exposure to any company who has the vision to invest in Rashid.
Meanwhile Rashid's father Ali continues to back his son and make sure he has the best grooming possible in the sport he has chosen, and he says without any expectation, "We very much welcome the opportunity to discuss potential sponsorship for Rashid with any company who may be interested."
So look out for the tiny fellow, with the huge grin and big heart wearing the bright red Alonso replica race suit, and take note of that name Rashid Al Dhaheri. Don't be surprised, in a couple of decades, to see his name emblazoned on the side of a F1 Ferrari, on the grid at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix…

KCAS Webinar: Addressing the Challenges of Complex Analytes and Matrices in Preparation for Routine Sample Analysis
Join us Tuesday November 10, 2020 at 11am EST| 8am PST| 4pm CET| 5pm CET
Bioanalytical liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) for small molecules is often referred to as a routine technology. That perception may be true for many drugs, but as pharmaceutical companies move into new areas, more projects may present challenges in at least part of their scope, such as drug moiety, the matrices being assessed, the need for biomarker assessment, or high sensitivity requirements.
The challenge for bioanalytical service providers is to develop LC-MS assays to address these challenges and provide resulting methods that are robust and reliable enough to allow hand off to additional teams to support extensive sample analysis.
Key Learning Objectives:
Develop knowledge of the factors that present analytical challenges when developing bioanalytical methodologies
Gain insight into strategies for dealing with challenging analytes, matrices, and assay limitations
Review case studies presenting experiences with solving challenging LC-MS/MS assays and translating the solution to a production environment

Chapel of Ease
A Novel of the Tufa
Tufa Novels (Volume 4)
Alex Bledsoe
The latest installment in Alex Bledsoe's critically-acclaimed Tufa series about musically-talented fae in rural Tennessee, a series Kirkus Reviews calls "powerful, character-driven drama...a sheer delight." (starred review)
"Beautifully written, surprisingly moving, and unexpected in the best of ways." —Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author
When Matt Johansson, a young New York actor, auditions for "Chapel of Ease," an off-Broadway musical, he is instantly charmed by Ray Parrish, the show's writer and composer. They soon become friends; Matt learns that Ray's people call themselves the Tufa and that the musical is based on the history of his isolated home town. But there is one question in the show's script that Ray refuses to answer: what is buried in the ruins of the chapel of ease?
As opening night approaches, strange things begin to happen. A dreadlocked girl follows Ray and spies on him. At the press preview, a strange Tufa woman warns him to stop the show. Then, as the rave reviews arrive, Ray dies in his sleep.
Matt and the cast are distraught, but there's no question of shutting down: the run quickly sells out. They postpone opening night for a week and Matt volunteers to take Ray's ashes back to Needsville. He also hopes, while he's there, to find out more of the real story behind the play and discover the secret that Ray took to his grave.
Matt's journey into the haunting Appalachian mountains of Cloud County sets him on a dangerous path, where some secrets d… More…

Praise for Chapel of Ease
"With his subtle, character-driven approach, Bledsoe skillfully fuses music, legend, and regional atmosphere to create something that feels like an unexplored corner of American mythology." – Publishers Weekly
Praise for the Tufa books:
"Long Black Curl makes me so happy that there are authors writing real North American-based mythic fiction...one that sits so well it feels like it's always been a part of us." - Charles de Lint
"Beautifully written, surprisingly moving, and unexpected in the best of ways." -Seanan McGuire, New York Timesbestselling author, on Wisp of a Thing
"Captures the allure and the sometimes sinister beauty of the Appalachian backwoods. -Library Journal, starred review, on Wisp of a Thing
"It's no secret that music stirs the soul, and combining that with a folk-tale setting makes a deeply heart-rending novel." - RT Book Reviews (four stars) on Long Black Curl
"Haunting. . . . It's a mixture: folk tales and folk songs, updated with a dose of Sex and the City. Or, you might say, a rustic version of 'urban fantasy,' with its suggestion that there's mystery just around the corner, hidden behind even the dullest small-town facade." - The Wall Street Journal on The Hum and the Shiver
"A lot of fun." - Booklist on Long Black Curl
ALEX BLEDSOE is the critically-acclaimed author of the Tufa novels The Hum and the Shiver, Wisp of a Thing, and Long Black Curl as well as the Eddie LaCrosse series: The Sword-Edged Blonde, Dark Jenny, Burn Me Deadly, and He Drank, and Saw the Spider.

Giuseppe Fabre (1910 – 3 November 2007) was an Italian Generale di Corpo d'Armata (Lieutenant General) and skier.

Biography
Fabre was born in Cuneo. He served in the South-Tyrolian Alpini battalion "Saluzzo" of the 1 Alpine Division Taurinense before he was transferred to the Scuola Militare di Alpinismo (SCMA; today: Centro Addestramento Alpino) in Aosta. In Aosta he was advanced to the rank of a Lieutenant (Tenente) and became platoon leader of a speed skiing section.

Lieutenant Francesco Vida, Private first class (Caporal maggiore) Ettore Schranz and Private (Caporale) Angelo Bonora were the reserve military patrol team at the 1936 Winter Olympics, where the Italian competition team placed first. One year after, in 1937, Lieutenant Fabre, Sergeant (Sergente) Luigi Perenni and Alpino (Soldier E-1) Anselmo Viviani won the 5th Trofeo Mezzalama competition.

During World War II, in June 1940, he was captain and commander of an Alpini company, that defended the Col de la Seigne on the Western front, a main pass of the Mont Blanc massif. For his merits he was decorated with the Bronze Medal of Military Valor. Meanwhile advanced to Major, he assumed the command of the Alpini battalion in Saluzzo. As commander of the Alpini brigade in Saluzzo, he was captured and spent two years in war captivity in Germany. In 1956 he became commander of the SCMA. Afterwards he became commander of the Military district of Cuneo.

It was Colonel Fabre, who chose the area for Campo Felice, a well known ski station in the Abruzzo region built in the 1960s. For the Ministry of Defence, he supported and organized Olympic events in several functions, for example the 1956 Winter Olympics (Cortina) and the Summer Olympics in 1960 (Rome), 1964 (Tokio) and 1968 (Mexico City). For his work he was decorated with the Stella d'oro al Merito Sportivo (golden star for sportive merits) by the Italian National Olympic Committee.

He was married with two children, Silvio and Gianna. Fabre was buried in the family grave at the cemetery of Saluzzo.

KMVX (101.9 FM, "Mix 101.9") is an American radio station licensed to Monroe, Louisiana, United States. The station, established in 1967, is currently owned by The Radio People and the broadcast license is held by Holladay Broadcasting of Louisiana, LLC.    Studios are located in Monroe, and its transmitter is located in rural Caldwell Parish, Louisiana.

Programming
KMVX broadcasts an urban adult contemporary music format to Monroe and the greater Alexandria, Louisiana area and Natchez Mississippi.  Local weekday on-air personalities include Rickey Smiley, Rob Lloyd, DJ Scott Banks,

History
The station, under the KNOE-FM call sign, was founded in 1966 by former Governor of Louisiana James A. Noe.  Noe had earlier started Monroe AM radio station KNOE in 1944 and Monroe TV station KNOE-TV in 1953. In 1936, he also acquired an AM radio station in New Orleans which he renamed WNOE and in 1968 started New Orleans FM radio station WNOE-FM.

Noe's son, James Albert "Jimmie" Noe Jr., ran KNOE-FM along with its AM and TV sister stations for almost four decades.  When Jimmie Noe died from cancer in 2005, the remaining family members agreed to place the stations up for sale and exit broadcasting.  In October 2007, the Noe family reached an agreement to sell this station to Clay Holladay's Radio Monroe, LLC., for a reported $900,000.  The deal was approved by the FCC on May 1, 2008, and the transaction was consummated on May 13, 2008.

On March 3, 2013 KNOE-FM changed its format from CHR to urban adult contemporary, branded as "Mix 101.9". The call letters were changed to KMVX on March 21, 2013.

Tower collapse
On March 21, 1997, KNOE-FM suffered a catastrophic collapse of its broadcast tower.  The 1,989 foot (606.25 m) tower, roughly 545 feet (166 m) taller than Chicago's Sears Tower, collapsed as a result of a maintenance crew's failure to install a temporary support structure during the replacement of diagonal braces.  Of the three workers on the tower at the time of the collapse, one was killed, one fell into a satellite dish about 12 feet (3.7 m) above the ground, and one was thrown clear and walked away basically unharmed. The workers were together about 200 feet (61 m) up the tower when it collapsed.  The tower, whose primary tenant was then-sister station KNOE-TV, was also used by Louisiana Public Broadcasting.  After operating from temporary facilities for more than a year, KNOE-FM's permanent replacement tower was ready for use in June 1998 and licensed for operation by the FCC on September 15, 1998.

Intel Core i5-6400 Review
Intel Core i5-6400 Quick Specs
Cache L3 – 6 MB, L2 – 1MB
Base Clock Speed 2.7 GHz
Standard Overclock Speed 3.3 GHz
Base Power Consumption 65 W
The Intel Core i5 6400 processor is a lightweight ready to enter the middleweight division. Built on the Skylake architecture with a 14nm manufacturing process, it is on par in terms of build with the i7 6700K. However, does it have what it takes to be a powerful and yet power-conscious CPU?
From the onset, let me be honest that this CPU is a tad slower than its elder siblings and obviously compared with the latest 7th generation Intel processors but that doesn't mean it won't do the job. The only true question, therefore, is what kind of job are you tasking to it with?
From the pricing point of view, i5-6400 is the cheapest i5 6th generation processor you can buy in the Skylake range. What this means is that while you spend less, you still get the majority of the assets that all its elder siblings have. It has 1MB of L2 cache, 4 physical cores and 6MB of L3 cache.
The true difference lies in the clock speed. This is where corners are cut to reduce the pricing. The i5-6400 operates at 2.7GHz standard and under Turbo Boost can go as far as 3.3 GHz. Compare this with the i5-6600K that begins with 3.5GHz and peaks at 3.9GHz. Obviously, there's a wide berth between the two when it comes to clock speeds. But, the plus side to this is that the 6400 consumes 65W rated power, which is significantly less than what the 6600K requires at 91W.
Intel Boxed Core I5-6400 FC-LGA14C 2.70 Ghz 6 M Processor Cache 4 LGA 1151 BX80662I56400
DDR4 & DDR3L Support
Display Resolution up to 4096x2304
Like I mentioned before, the i5-6400 does get 4 cores and so it should do better than all i3 processors. However, it is the clock speeds that are significantly lower. What does this translate to? Well, it meant that in our benchmarks, the if-6400 gave decent multi-core performance but had poor single core results as opposed to the rest of the lot.
Take the Cinebench R15 single core tests. The i5-6400 barely managed to bring in 142, which is poor. It even falls behind Core i3 Skylake processors that have higher speeds. The closest in terms of its Cinebench scores is probably an i3 from 2 generations back. However, all is not lost.
When it came to Cinebench's multiple core testing, the i5-6400 picked up the slack and outperformed all i3 processors by sporting a 524 score. This is way higher than what the i5-6100 gives, but that should not surprise you since the i3 chips all have just a couple of cores.
However, with respect to costlier i5 and i7 chips from the 6th and 7th generation, the score was low. But, don't take this into consideration if you are on a limited budget because the multi-core performance on Cinebench suggests it is a decent alternative to the K suffixed cores.
As far as performance against AMD processors go, the closest performer is AMD FX-8350. With about 100 on the single core benchmark and 700 on multi-thread tasks, the FX-8350 becomes its rival. Point to note, though, AMD is almost always better with multi-threaded tasks with similar core count Intel i5 processors.
Where the i5-6400 really shines though is in Geekbench tests. Here it posted an 11,303 multi-core test score, which is nearly 2500 points clear of its nearest competition in the i3 CPU stable. AMD FX-8530 came pretty close in multi-core tests but in single core tests on Geekbench it managed an abysmal 2000 points, which is nearly 2000 points less than what the i5-6400 posted.
As far as video encoding goes, the core i5 completes the test in under six minutes with a good one minute lead on i3 competitors. Unfortunately, once again single-core performance issues came to the forefront when we went on to Dolphin Emulator benchmarks. Here, it was the slowest of the entire lot of CPUs we tested managing only to beat the AMD processors.
Now let's get to the gaming aspects of this CPU. Does the single core performance impact on gaming experience? Yes, and no. Take Battlefield 4 for instance. Here its performance on discrete GPUs is pretty decent though not great. It outperforms only older generation Intel CPUs but comes in tied with i3-6100 performance, which was a bit of a shock honestly. With Battlefield 4 it matches the core i3 6100 performance but on Bioshock, it falls behind by a few frames.
The good news though is that this processor does not bottleneck any game.
Heat issues are definitely not a concern with the i5 6400 considering its lower power consumption levels. Even at full Turbo, it will maintain temperatures less than the average of an i5-6600K. In other words, you can easily use the stock cooler that comes with the 6400. On idle, it consumes around 48W and on stress testing, it rises to around 91W. That is way better than any other i5 in the market. AMD in terms of power consumption and heat generation does worse than Intel so, comparing the FX-8350 wasn't necessary for us.
Priced economically and provides decent gaming performance. If you are on a budget but need some amount of performance boost, this is a good processor.
All the build quality of 6th generation Skylake architecture.
Above average multi-core performance.
Poor single core performance. Can't match single core performance of Core i3 6100.
Integrated GPU is absolutely useless with gaming in modern to two-year-old titles.
AMD processors that cost less give a similar performance though not when it comes to power consumption and heat generation.
Should You Buy The Core I5-6400?
Yes, this processor seriously lacks in the single core performance department and if cost is your overbearing factor then you really have limited options. In those options, the i5-6400 is a decent bet for now and the future. Single core performance is just adequate so you won't get bottlenecked. As for any hyper-threaded performance, you won't feel the pinch at all.
Like I said earlier, the i5-6400 is a lightweight processor that tries hard to fit into the middleweight segment but fails only by a few pounds. Currently, we feel you will be better served purchasing a Core i3 7100 processor considering the change in generation and better scores of the i3-7th gen over the 6th generation processors. Besides, the pricing even makes this a more reasonable bet but if multi-core performance is what you are after then the core i5 6400 is what you should consider.
Basically, for those who need a processor to do music or video editing, this is the perfect price to performance choice. But if overclocking or gaming and single-core performance is what you need, look elsewhere.
Cheapest of all Skylake processors with four cores onboard, the i5-6400 is indeed a good performer but it lacks in several areas. Single core is its biggest performance lag but if you can live with that, this is a sacrifice worth making. If not, prefer the i3-7100 Intel processors.

The 2,200-square-foot, free-standing restaurant and drive-thru will be located in the busy Highway 601 corridor between Interstate 26 and the city of Orangeburg. The vacant lot where the restaurant will be built is between a Dollar General store and an auto dealership and is less than a mile from the I-26 interchange.
Construction is expected to start immediately and completion is set for the spring of 2016. The building will be a new design that Taco Bell is implementing in many of its markets across the country.
Investment in the project is estimated at $1.3 million, including the cost of the lot, said Frank Cason, owner of Columbia-based Cason Development Group.

Chaotic talks show challenge of reaching opioid settlement
Posted 6:44 PM, September 12, 2019, by Associated Press, Updated at 06:48PM, September 12, 2019
For months, the judge overseeing national litigation over the opioids crisis urged all sides to reach a settlement that could end thousands of lawsuits filed by state and local governments.
But the chaotic developments this week in the case against OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma underscore how difficult that goal is. By Thursday, half of the nation's state attorneys general said they would reject a tentative deal crafted by the other half, and many criticized the terms as grossly insufficient.
Purdue and the Sackler family that owns it "will never be able to undo all the damage they have done," Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring, a Democrat, said in a statement, "but at the very least, they must face real, significant, personal accountability for their lies and for the pain and heartbreak they have caused."
Herring and other attorneys general opposed to the terms say the amount of money involved will be far less than the $10 billion to $12 billion promised by Purdue and the Sacklers. They want the family to pay more from their vast fortune, much of which has been shifted overseas , and say the current settlement terms allow the relatives to walk away without acknowledging their role in a crisis that has killed 400,000 Americans over the past two decades.
"This epidemic has affected everybody in our state," Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings, another Democrat, said Thursday in a statement. "Irrespective of Purdue's actions or evasions, we will continue to pursue justice on behalf of those harmed by the Sacklers' greed, callousness and fraud."
Washington state not settling with Purdue Pharma
The failure to reach a wide-ranging settlement so far, as the Sacklers had hoped, means the legal battle over what their company must pay will probably shift to bankruptcy court. Questions about the family's responsibility could play out at the same time in dozens of state courts. More than 20 states have filed separate cases against members of the family, and it's not clear whether federal bankruptcy proceedings would halt those state cases.
The company is expected to file for bankruptcy protection within days.
Attorneys general who say they agree with the terms said the deal is better than what their states and communities would likely receive if Purdue files for bankruptcy without any settlement language to guild the proceedings.
"Sadly, this agreement cannot bring back those who have lost their lives to opioid abuse, but it will help Florida gain access to more life-saving resources and bolster our efforts to end this deadly epidemic," Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, a Republican, said. "I want to assure Floridians that we will continue to aggressively pursue our state case against all remaining defendants."
Some attorneys general — the group that had been leading the settlement talks with Purdue — have described the negotiations as ongoing and unsettled.
Katie Byrd, a spokeswoman for Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, declined to comment Thursday about the state's stance but described the situation as "fluid."
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said "widespread uncertainty" remains about the details of the settlement terms, including the size of the payments, how long they would be made and how Purdue and other Sackler-owned entities would be operated going forward.
Under the proposed deal, the family would give up ownership of Purdue and pay $3 billion to $4.5 billion, depending on how much Purdue brings in from selling a company known as Mundipharma. Several attorneys general said they are skeptical that Mundipharma is worth that much, and they want more money guaranteed from the Sacklers.
OxyContin is probably the best-known prescription opioid and was a blockbuster drug in terms of sales after it was introduced in 1996. In their lawsuits, the state and local governments say Purdue aggressively marketed the drug while downplaying its addictiveness.
The developments related to Purdue and the Sackler family come just five weeks before the scheduled start of the first federal trial over the toll of the opioids crisis in the U.S. That trial involves claims by Ohio's Cuyahoga and Summit counties against multiple opioid makers, distributors and pharmacies. If the company files for bankruptcy, the trial will go on without Purdue.
Families who have lost loved ones to the crisis or have otherwise been hurt by opioid addiction have pushed back against settlements with Purdue and other players in the opioid industry. They want a chance to face company executives in court and tell their stories.
In a statement, members of the Sackler family urged governments to sign on to the settlement terms, saying it will fund solutions to the crisis rather than continue "endless litigation."

State auditor urges better aid control
Norway's state auditor general is among those calling on cabinet minister Erik Solheim to impose much better control over Norwegian foreign aid programs. Questions persist over what happened to aid given to Tanzania, for example, over a 12-year period.

"The foreign ministry and Norad (the state agency administering aid) have improved, but they still have a long way to go," State Auditor (Riksrevisor) Jørgen Kosmo told newspaper Aftenposten on Tuesday. "The control has to get better."
Kosmo was reacting to reports in Aftenposten that as much as half of the NOK 300 million in aid given to Tanzania's Management of Natural Resources Program (MNRP) remains unaccounted for, and is believed to have disappeared through corruption and mismanagement. Norway did demand money to be returned, but claimed to be satisfied with refunds amounting to less than NOK 12 million.
Kosmos said that state auditors conducted evaluations in 2003 and 2011 of Norwegian authorities' control of the billions of kroner distributed through foreign aid programs. He said control has improved but that both the ministry, where Solheim has political control over foreign aid, and Norad remain in "a very demanding" situation.

"What we're asking for now are examinations of programs before aid is released, to evaluate risk, the chances for corruption, infrastructure and the chances for the programs to succeed, all in advance," Kosmo told Aftenposten. Asked whether the ministry has complied, Kosmo said "somewhat, but not well enough."
The "demanding situation" faced by the ministry (Utenriksdepartementet, UD) is that most of the aid is earmarked for countries with a culture of corruption, far away from Norway, Kosmo said. The closest Norwegian embassies have limited capacity and competence to follow up on the aid programs, much less carry out detailed controls.
"In some countries, it's so difficult to rely on national authorities to undertake controls that we have to go in with our own resources," Kosmo said.
He thinks it's important to get to the bottom of irregularities that occur, not least to secure that aid money lands in the right hands on future occasions. He warned against relying too heavily on private auditors hired in to help.
Several opposition politicians in Parliament also reacted to reports of the trouble Norway experienced in Tanzania. "We have to be tougher with detailed control of several aid programs," claimed Morten Høglund, a Member of Parliament and foreign affairs spokesman for the Progress Party (Fremskrittspartiet). Peter Gitmark of the Conservatives agreed. "In countries known for corruption, like Tanzania, it's very important to follow in detail what's being used on goods and services," Gitmark told Aftenposten.
Solheim, of the Socialist Left party (SV), took over as aid minister after SV joined the Labour-led coalition government in 2005. The first audits of the Tanzania program, which began in 1994, started becoming available the next year, so it can be argued that Solheim inherited the aid problem from earlier governments including the center-right coalition of which the Conservatives was a member.
Høglund remained concerned that Solheim's administration never "rolled up" what happened to Norway's aid money, and suggested the ministry has misled the public. "It looks like there's a systematic culture here of secrecy, manipulation and independent research results and lack of communication of critical accounting reports in Norad and UD," Høglund told Aftenposten.
Svein Roald Hansen of SV's government partner Labour said he had no basis for believing the public has been misled and demanded evidence of it. Solheim, currently on a trip to Burma, said he was "absolutely not naive" about the potential for corruption and pointed to "intense" work going on within an anti-corruption unit at UD.

I admit that I knew a little about Arthur Conan Doyle. A little. Now I know much more. Alistair Duncan writes in such a clear way as to enable us to envision the events as they were unfolding during the Undershaw years – the years that Arthur Conan Doyle and his family resided at this home which he had built in Hindhead in Surrey. Witness its birth, life and uncertain future.
Built in 1897, the house soon became alive with activity. Children playing, friends and relations visiting, author creating.
The years that followed showed scandals, speculations, successes, controvercies and conflicts.Within these walls more happened in the life of ACD than most people realize. Mr. Duncan diarized the life of the Doyles in and around Undershaw.There were new beginnings, followed by sad endings. There was news of great importance, disapointments, literary genius was exercised, distinguished visitors walked the halls.Eventually, the house, although still physically visible, was leased. And after all the awards and achievements bestowed upon its famous resident, time went on and its life faded.Throughout the book, are rarely-seen drawings and photographs from the author's collection.
With the more recent photos of Undershaw we can see how we need to breathe life back into the home, as ACD did with Holmes.
There is an introduction by Mark Gatiss, and praise from Roger Johnson.
For me, this book filled in many blanks. It pulled the puzzle together.

Compliance training is viewed by organisations as an area in which technology can deliver a big win. Why have face-to-face sessions when you can provide engaging, cheaper and more personalised content online? Well, that's the promise. But does e-enabled learning content deliver on that promise?
Towards Maturity conducted a new benchmark study during April and May2013 to provide participants with insight on how to improve the impact of compliance training. Online compliance training is often criticised for being little more than a box ticking exercise. It is seen as a necessary evil due to the fact that most businesses have to ensure their employees are compliant with industry-specific regulation. In this report we lift the lid on how organisations are using technology enabled learning to deliver compliance content that leads to behaviour change. We examine what organisations are currently doing with their compliance training programmes and how successfully L&D and risk and compliance professionals feel these programmes are performing. Filtering the data by the level of organisational maturity at using technology enabled learning enables us to provide insights into what good training looks like. The findings are revealing: more mature organisations are more than twice as likely to change working culture than those in the less mature category and 75% more likely to report a positive impact on staff behaviour. By comparing what more mature organisations are doing against their less mature counterparts, we are able to identify the steps to creating effective online compliance training. We have also dug deeper into the data to provide insights from compliance and risk managers and those in multinational organisations. Some 90% of organisations see technology enabled learning as the answer for delivering compliance training. We hope this report will help dispel some myths around compliance training delivery and help convert the potential into effective, behaviour changing learning experiences. This new study, commissioned by SAI Global, considers the views of 136 organisations representing 2.3 million employees across 17 nations.
20% of organisations provide managers with resources and job aids to encourage application back in the workplace.

Thousands of pilots believe fatigue is not taken seriously enough by airlines, according to a new survey.
London School of Economics said more than half of the 7,200 pilots who took part in its poll lacked confidence in carriers' safety culture.
The British Airline Pilots' Association (Balpa) said it was "not surprised" by the results, adding that its own survey had received similar responses.
Balpa said fatigue was top of its members' concerns across all types of airline.
European Aviation Safety Agency flight time limitations that were introduced in February this year allow pilots to be rostered for shifts of up to 20 hours, it said.
Balpa's head of flight safety, Rob Hunter, said: "Fatigue has been a growing issue among pilots and has only intensified since the introduction of EASA flight time limitations earlier this year. Balpa has been working with all airlines and carriers to improve their fatigue management.
"Our own survey with in collaboration with the CAA previously highlighted similar issues, with pilots not having confidence in their companies' attitudes towards fatigue or reporting of fatigue.
"Safety is the top priority for pilots, as is demonstrated in the LSE's survey, with 93% agreeing their colleagues take safety seriously.


EIB stands for exercise-induced bronchospasm. It is sometimes called exercise-induced asthma. People who experience EIB find it hard to breathe during or after exercise.
These types of symptoms usually occur 5–15 minutes after beginning physical activity.
If this happens to you, you're not alone. As many as one in 10 people in America experience EIB, many of whom do not have asthma. That's an estimated 30-plus million adults and children, including some of the world's best athletes. In fact, an eight-time Olympic short-track speed skating medalist competed despite his EIB-related breathing problems.
Also, many people have EIB but don't even realize it. One study found that as many as 29% of athletes had EIB that was "unrecognized." So it's important to be aware of these types of symptoms.
EIB may make you feel frustrated. But the good news is that there are things you can do. For example, using ProAir RespiClick® 15–30 minutes before exercising can help prevent EIB. Ask your doctor if ProAir RespiClick® may be right for you.
Because EIB breathing issues are "short-term," you need to treat them only before sports or exercise.
How does EIB affect you?
EIB can cause temporary coughing, wheezing and chest tightness during or after exercise. Many people who experience EIB may avoid exercising and other physical activity because they're afraid it'll trigger their exercise-related breathing problems. However, a lack of physical exercise can lead to other problems, like obesity or diabetes.
But there's no reason why EIB should keep you from staying active.
How does ProAir RespiClick® help you breathe during exercise?
1.The muscles in your airways stay relaxed.
2.More air is able to flow through your airways.
3.You can breathe more freely.
The active ingredient in ProAir RespiClick® is a medicine called albuterol, which is inhaled directly into the lungs. Once there, it works quickly to relax the muscles in the airways, allowing more air to pass through.
Most people with EIB don't need to limit their physical activity, unless instructed to do so by their healthcare provider. Using ProAir RespiClick® (albuterol sulfate) Inhalation Powder 15–30 minutes before exercising can help prevent or reduce the effects of EIB for two to three hours in most people.
Exercise indoors when the air outside is cold and dry, because it can trigger EIB. If you do exercise in these conditions, wear a scarf around your mouth.
If you don't already have ProAir RespiClick®, learn more about it here so you can talk to your doctor about a "rescue rethink" instead of just a rescue refill.
