French biologist, microbiologist and chemist Louis Pasteur was born on December 27, 1822, in Dole, Jura, France, to a Catholic family of a poor tanner. He was the third child of Jean-Joseph Pasteur and Jeanne-Etiennette Roqui. The family moved to Marnoz in 1826 and then to Arbois in 1827. Pasteur entered primary school in 1831 and was an average student in his early years, and not particularly academic, as his interests were fishing and sketching. He drew many pastels and portraits of his parents, friends and neighbors. Pasteur attended secondary school at the Collège d'Arbois. In October 1838, he left for Paris to join the Pension Barbet, but became homesick and returned in November.
In 1839, he entered the Collège Royal at Besançon to study philosophy and earned his Bachelor of Letters degree in 1840. He was appointed a tutor at the Besançon college while continuing a degree science course with special mathematics. He managed to pass the baccalauréat scientifique (general science) degree in 1842 from Dijon but with a mediocre grade in chemistry. In 1842, Pasteur took the entrance test for the École Normale Supérieur. He also attended classes at the Lycée Saint-Louis and lectures of Jean-Baptiste Dumas at the Sorbonne. In 1843, he passed his exam and entered the École Normale Supérieure and In 1845 he received the licencié ès sciences (Master of Science) degree.
In 1846, he was appointed professor of physics at the Collège de Tournon (now called Lycée Gabriel-Faure [fr]) in Ardèche, but the chemist Antoine Jérôme Balard wanted him back at the École Normale Supérieure as a graduate laboratory assistant (agrégé préparateur). He joined Balard and simultaneously started his research in crystallography and in 1847, he submitted two theses, in chemistry and physics He became professor of physics at the Dijon Lycée in 1848 and professor of chemistry at the University of Strasbourg, and in May 29, 1849 he married Marie Laurent, daughter of the university's rector.
He made a number of remarkable breakthroughs in the causes and prevention of diseases, He reduced mortality from puerperal fever, and created the first vaccines for rabies and anthrax. He disproved the doctrine of spontaneous generation and investigated tartaric acid and optical isomers. He made significant discoveries in chemistry, most notably on the molecular basis for the asymmetry of certain crystals and racemization . He also invented a technique for treating milk and wine to stop bacterial contamination, a process now called pasteurization And discovered a fundamental principle in the structure of organic compounds. He also performed experiments that showed that without contamination, microorganisms could not develop and demonstrated that in sterilized and sealed flasks nothing ever developed, however in sterilized but open flasks microorganisms could grow.
Pasteur was appointed professor of chemistry at the University of Strasbourg in 1848, and became the chair of chemistry in 1852 and In 1854, he was named dean of the new faculty of sciences at University of Lille, where he began his studies on fermentation. In 1857, he moved to Paris as the director of scientific studies at the École Normale Supérieure where he took control from 1858 to 1867 and In 1863, he was appointed professor of geology, physics, and chemistry at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts Until resigning in 1867 whereupon he became the chair of organic chemistry at the Sorbonne. In 1867, the École Normale's laboratory of physiological chemistry was created at Pasteur's request, and he was the laboratory's director from 1867 to 1888.
English songwriter, lyricist and poet Peter John Sinfield was born 27 December 1943 In Fulham, London. Up until the age of eight, he was raised largely by his mother's German housekeeper Maria Wallenda, a high wire walker from the circus act the Flying Wallendas, after which he was sent to Danes Hill School in Oxshot where Sinfield discovered a love of words and their uses and meanings, with the guidance of his tutor John Mawson. He read voraciously, especially poetry. He later attended Ranelagh Grammar School in Bracknell, Berkshire. He left school at sixteen and worked briefly as a travel agent, believing that this would "allow him to see the world". He then went on to work for a computer company for six years, travelling around Europe when he could and hanging around with friends from the Chelsea School of Art. Sinfield also began learning to play the guitar, and write poetry in the mid 1960s. He made a living on market stalls selling handmade kites, lampshades, paintings and customised clothing. He spent a number of years drifting around Morocco and Spain before returning to England. Sometime in 1967, he started the band Infinity,and fellow band member Ian McDonald, was impressed with Sinfield's talents as a lyricist, if not his abilities as a singer or guitarist.
In 1968, McDonald decided to a band, consisting of Michael Giles, Peter Giles, and Robert Fripp, who were looking to do more with music than their three-man line-up could manage. McDonald let the others know that he was already working with someone who could write lyrics. In their primordial form, Giles, Giles & Fripp, augmented by McDonald and ex-Fairport Convention vocalist Judy Dyble, recorded an early version of the McDonald-Sinfield song "I Talk to the Wind". Peter Giles left the group at about this time, to be replaced by Greg Lake, and Sinfield joined around the same time. In his own words, "I became their pet hippie, because I could tell them where to go to buy the funny clothes that they saw everyone wearing". Sinfield also came up with the name King Crimson. Sinfield loved working with the band and, in addition to writing the phantasmagorical lyrics that came to be part of King Crimson's trademark, he also ran the group's light-show at their concerts. Apart from writing lyrics for In the Court of the Crimson King (1969), In the Wake of Poseidon (1970), Lizard (1970) and Islands (1971), and offering advice on artwork, album design, and other details of the band's releases.
Sinfield's musical role in the band was limited over the first four albums. He was not a good enough singer to contribute to the band's vocals, and the presence of Robert Fripp made his guitar playing superfluous. However, Sinfield occasionally added touches of EMS VCS 3 synthesizer, see, e.g., the Ladies of the Road album recorded live on tour in 1971 and '72 or "Indoor Games" and "Happy Family" on the Lizard album. Fripp became involved with other projects (most notably the Centipede orchestra), which left Sinfield with much of the responsibility for the final version and design of the album, including the uniquely ornate jacket. Even so, the relationship between Sinfield and Fripp had become increasingly strained as the band progressed. On their next album, Islands, Sinfield began exploring new lyrical territory, with more sexual imagery juxtaposed with the languidly surreal title track. On 1 January 1972, however, following a tour of the United States, Fripp got tired of Sinfield's fantasy-based lyrics and Sinfield left.
In 1972, Sinfield remained associated with E.G. Records, which represented King Crimson and Roxy Music, and it was while Sinfield was producing Roxy Music's debut album and their hit single "Virginia Plain" that he first decided to try his own hand at recording a solo album. In 1973 he wrote English lyrics for the Italian group Premiata Forneria Marconi (also known as PFM) and produced their first album for ELP's Manticore Records, titled, Photos of Ghosts, as well as The World Became the World.
Sinfield's debut album, Still, united numerous former (Greg Lake, Mel Collins, Ian Wallace) and future (John Wetton) Crimson alumni. Sinfield intended Still as the start of a solo career, but while working on it, he was approached by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, who needed a lyricist of Sinfield's calibre. Still was originally released on ELP's own Manticore label in 1973, but Sinfield found himself subsumed into Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Already having a fear of the stage which he had little time to overcome due to writing demands, his solo career was put on hold and he worked with ELP for the next few years. During this time, Sinfield lived with his first wife Stephanie in The Mill House, Surrey, which was loaned to him by ELP. His neighbour was Gary Brooker of Procol Harum, with whom he co-wrote five songs on Brooker's first solo album No More Fear of Flying. He also released a book containing his previous lyrics and poems titled Under the Sky (named after one of the lyrics from Still). In 1975, "I Believe in Father Christmas", a song co-written with Greg Lake was released.
Sinfield then moved to Ibiza to live as a tax exile, and enjoyed his first break from continual work in the music industry. Here he met a circle of artists, actors and painters and members of the Chelsea Arts Club such as Peter Unsworth and Barry Flanagan, eventually parting from his first wife. During his time in Ibiza, Sinfield had a break from songwriting and was able to spend his time travelling, socialising and reflecting, which he had been unable to do for the previous decade.
During the late 1970s, he continued to move in communities around Spain. In 1978, following the success of his previous lyrics for Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Sinfield was asked by ELP to produce lyrics for their album Love Beach, now regarded by many (including Sinfield himself) to be the worst of all ELP's albums. In 1978 he also narrated Robert Sheckley's In a Land of Clear Colours, an audio sci-fi story released the following year on a limited edition of 1000 vinyl records. The backing music for the story was provided by Brian Eno, with whom Sinfield had previously worked while producing Roxy Music. By the time he returned to London in 1980, with his new Spanish wife (a model and runner-up for Miss Spain), he discovered that progressive rock music was no longer in demand, and that punk had emerged in the UK. Between 1978 and 1980 Sinfield also wrote the lyrics for the English versions of Alla fiera dell'est (Highdown Fair) and La pulce d'acqua (Fables and Fantasies), by Italian singer-songwriter Angelo Branduardi.
Upon his return to London in 1980, his publisher introduced him to Andy Hill, a composer and fellow songwriter. He and Sinfield collaborated on such hits as "The Land of Make Believe" by Bucks Fizz. He then returned to Spain, where he was already established in the communities within Ibiza and Barcelona, and as his career progressed, moved into a house in Majorca. At this time, he appeared on Spanish television programme Musical Express, where he was interviewed and performed a set with Boz Burrell, Tim Hinkley, Michael Giles, Bobby Tench, Mel Collins and Gary Brooker.
In the United Kingdom, he continued to release hits with Hill, such as "I Hear Talk" by Bucks Fizz and "Have You Ever Been in Love" by Leo Sayer (which they wrote with John Danter). He also co-wrote Five Star's "Rain or Shine" with Billy Livsey. After divorcing his wife and leaving Majorca, he returned to the UK around 1990 to a flat in Holland Park and continued to write lyrics for popular music. In 1993, he re-released his solo album as Stillusion. In the same year, he and Hill released "Think Twice" by Celine Dion, which went on to become a massive hit and won an Ivor Novello Award for "Best Song Musically and Lyrically". Sinfield and Hill had won an Ivor Novello a decade previously, for the Leo Sayer track, "Have You Ever Been in Love".
There had been rumours of a second solo album, and Sinfield worked on it for a couple of years with vibraphone player and programmer Poli Palmer, formerly of Family. It was always a challenging project, made slightly more so by Sinfield's quadruple bypass operation in 2005. After a period of convalescence, Sinfield attempted unsuccessfully to restart the project. Sinfield also wrote an increasing number of haiku and After his appearance at the Genoa Poetry Festival at the Ducal Palace in June 2010, he turned his creative energies more towards poetry. In 2012 wrote the lyrics for a song written by Italian avantgarde musician Max Marchini and singer Paola Tagliaferro, "Blossom On The Tree" and also read some verses on the same tune issued on the album "Milioni di Lune". In 2009 the Italian duo already wrote the music for a lyric written by Sinfield years before "Poem To A Blue Painting", published on the album "Chrysalis".He is still active as a writer, and gives interviews to the media concerning progressive music and his career as a songwriter. He appeared in the 2009 BBC documentary Prog Rock Britannia: An Observation in Three Movements.
National Fruitcake Day takes place on 27 December. Fruitcake (or fruit cake or fruit bread) is a cake made with candied or dried fruit, nuts, and spices, and optionally soaked in spirits. In the United Kingdom, certain rich versions may be iced and decorated. Fruitcakes are typically served in celebration of weddings and Christmas. Given their rich nature, fruitcakes are most often consumed on their own, as opposed to with condiments (such as butter or cream).
The earliest recipe from ancient Rome lists pomegranate seeds, pine nuts, and raisins that were mixed into barley mash. In the Middle Ages, honey, spices, and preserved fruits were added. Fruitcakes soon becae popular all over Europe. Recipes varied greatly in different countries throughout the ages, depending on the available ingredients as well as (in some instances) church regulations forbidding the use of butter, regarding the observance of fast. Pope Innocent VIII (1432–1492) finally granted the use of butter, in a written permission known as the 'Butter Letter' or Butterbrief in 1490, giving permission to Saxony to use milk and butter in the Stollen fruitcakes.
Starting in the 16th century, sugar from the American Colonies (and the discovery that high concentrations of sugar could preserve fruits) created an excess of candied fruit, thus making fruitcakes more affordable and popular.
In 1967 The group released the singles "Fly Me High" and "Really Haven't Got the Time" followed by "Love And Beauty" & "Leave This Man Alone". The Moody Blues were then offered a deal to make a rock and roll version of Antonín Dvořák's New World Symphony, and although executives were initially skeptical about the hybrid style of the resulting concept album. Days of Future Past became one of the most successful pop/rock releases of the period, earning a gold record award. It takes place over the course of a single day & drew inspiration from the pioneering use of the classical instrumentation by The Beatles. It includes the songs "Nights in White Satin" & "The Sun Set" "Another Morning", "Twilight Time","Peak Hour" and "Evening (Time To Get Away)". The 1968 follow-up LP, In Search of the Lost Chord included the songs "Legend of a Mind","House of Four Doors","Voices in the Sky", "Ride My See-Saw" and "The Best Way To Travel". The 1969 album On the Threshold of a Dream contained the songs "In The Beginning","Lovely To See You","Never Comes The Day","Dear Diary" "Lazy Day","So Deep Within You","The Dream" and "Have You Heard".
The band's music continued to become more complex and symphonic, resulting in 1969′s To Our Children's Children's Children which was inspired by the first moon landing.and contained the songs "Higher And Higher" "Floating" and "Eternity Road" "Gypsy","Out And In" the two part "Eyes of A Child" and "Candle of Life""Sun is Still Shining". and "Watching and Waiting". the Moodies had a somewhat psychedelic style and progressive rock sound, the group next album was A Question of Balance (1970) & contained the songs "Question" and "Melancholy Man". For their next two albums, Every Good Boy Deserves Favour (1971) and "Seventh Sojourn"the band returned to their signature orchestral sound.These contained the songs "Procession", "Story in Your Eyes" "Our Guessing Game","You Can Never Go Home", "One More Time To Live", "My Song" and "Nice To Be Here". The Album "After You Came" (1971) featured "Isn't Life Strange ?" "I'm Just A Singer (in A Rock 'n' Roll Band)","Sojourn","Lost in A Lost World" "When You're A Free Man", "For My Lady", and "New Horizons".
Around this time Justin Hayward enjoyed a solo hit with the song "Forever Autumn" from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds.The Moodies toured the US and Europe during much of 1979. The next album ,Long Distance Voyager,was released in 1981 and yielded two hits, "The Voice" &"Gemini Dream". and the band embraced a more modern, less symphonic approach, while still retaining a lush keyboard-led sound. The next album The Present yeilded the singles "Blue World" and"Sitting at the Wheel". In 1986 they released the album The Other Side of Life, containing "Your Wildest Dreams"which garnered a Billboard Video of the Year award,as well as the songs "House of Four Doors", "Candle of Life" and "One More Time To Live" "Here Comes The Weekend", "Rock and Roll Over You", "Love is On The Run (From Me)", "The Actor", "Dawning is the Day", "You Can Never Go Home"& "The Land of Make Believe".
In 1986 The Moody Blues performed live at the Birmingham Heart Beat Charity Concert which raised money for the Birmingham Children's Hospitals, and also provided backup with the Electric Light Orchestra for George Harrison.The Moodies released Sur La Mer in 1988 containing the single, "I Know You're Out There Somewhere". Then In 1991 they released the album Keys of the Kingdom contained the songs "Say It With Love", "Never Blame The Rainbows For The Rain","Bless the Wings (That Bring You Back)","Magic" "Shadows On the Wall" "Lean On Me (Tonight)"and "Say What You Mean."They also played at the Montreux Jazz Festival and remained. a steady concert draw, They also made a series of recordings of their Night at Red Rocks concert. The next album Strange Times, was released in 1999 with the songs"English Sunset","Nothing Changes" and"This is The Moment".
The Moody Blues have also appeared in one episode of "The Simpsons" called "Viva Ned Flanders". In 2000, the band released "Hall of Fame", a new live concert from Royal Albert Hall. In 2001, an IMAX film was released, entitled Journey into Amazing Caves. In 2006, the first five of the band's 'Core Seven' albums ( Days of Future Passed to Seventh Sojourn) were re-released featuring bonus songs and previously unreleased tracks. Remastered versions of Octave, Long Distance Voyager and The Present soon followed. The Moodies also released a compilation of sessions recorded at BBC Studios, rarities & various TV appearances, entitled Live at the BBC: 1967-1970. The Moody Blues have sold more than 70 million albums worldwide and have been awarded 14 platinum and gold discs. As of 2012 they remain active and continue to tour, Hayward also tours with Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds.

INSA Strasbourg opens its doors to the second summer school of Dnipro, Ukraine
Par Yasmine Sidloch
Within the framework of the partnership with Prydniprovska's Civil Engineering and Architecture state Academy (PAEGCA), INSA Strasbourg has had the pleasure to host the second edition of the francophone summer school of architecture from the 3rd to the 24th of July 2019.
This year around, Natalya Yakovyshena, director of the department of intensive foreign languages program and coordinator of project was accompanied by Jean-Paul Meyer, director of Strasbourg's faculty of literature, Claude Noël, architect, economist and author from Paris, Rudolf Brennenmann, delegate of the exchange federation of France-Ukraine, Igor Ryzhkov, computer engineer and university lecturer at PAEGCA and Olga Velikorodnaya, architect-painter of Moscow.
The 18 students who partook in the summer program were given theoretical classes on diverse themes like architecture, drawing, economy and French. A part of their program was dedicated to visits of buildings internationally recognized for their architectural qualities like the European institutions, worship facilities, half-timbered houses but also the modern and contemporary buildings of Strasbourg. It was the case for the discovery of the multimedia library André Malraux, thanks to a guided tour given by Marc Meschberger, director of the library. Some of these visits were supervised by Jean-Jacques Virot, retired professor of architecture and Frank Guené, professor in the architecture department of INSA Strasbourg.
At the end of their stay, each student had to present a report with pictures of the subjects they studied and displayed their sketches. This oral presentation was a good exercise for them to practice their French and show the work elaborated in the course of their internship.
The francophone summer school of architecture which gets together in the premises of INSA Strasbourg for the second time, has for objective the mix of both the linguistics and architecture aspects. It also allows students the discovery of internationally renowned monuments and their architecture, to learn more about the history of arts and to open their personal horizon.
Pictures of the summer school :
"The students were very happy to have been able to take part in that valuable experience. We would like to thank the organizers, the International relations office of INSA Strasbourg and Louise Flouquet, our guide who gave us great guided tours throughout our stay!"
It has been a pleasure for INSA Strasbourg to receive them!

One quick follow-up to my comments post yesterday. The way I am looking at comments assumes that there are at least two types of people, comments from the trusted community (with accounts on the system) and comments from outside. There is definitely a need to have comments be private in instructional – particularly assessment-related situations.
Treating a comment on par with a reflection emphasizes the value attached to a comment.
I'm also thinking that either individual (the person making the comment and the person receiving them) may want to re-use those comments/reflections for other contexts and purposes.
Why a content type/object? For re-use!
As a student, I may want to be able to indicate what an instructor thought of my work – or – perhaps use two comments and reflect on how those two comments, provided at different times, demonstrates my growth (increase in competency).
As an instructor I might want to do something similar — particularly with respect to a teaching portfolio. I may want to select a representative comment to demonstrate how I evaluate my students, or several to demonstrate how I have changed my approach over time.
These objects do need to be portable.
The same thing goes for my rubrics — or how I mark particular assignments or an overall portfolio. The assessment schema needs to be an object as well.

Tag: Devin Townsend Project
Review – Devin Townsend Project – Ocean Machine – Live At The Ancient Roman Theatre Plovdiv – by Jez Denton
When I hear of bands with project in the name, I get a kind of pre-conception of what I'm going to be listening too. When the main artists name precedes the project I'm pretty certain that I'm going to be hearing a vanity project, some sort of self-congratulatory audio jerk off; a look at me, ain't I clever piece of work. Not that there is anything wrong with that as often the artist is right, they are that good. They are entitled to show off and give it large. Like Muhammed Ali in his pomp, some projects own the ring they are in and they create an enigmatic aura of musical invincibility. They say, and prove, with some justification, this is great stuff, you WILL enjoy it.
Often the reason this arrogance is successful is because it is done with an element of tongue in cheekiness, a knowing sense of not taking things too seriously. And this is something achieved by the Devin Townsend Project with glorious aplomb. The live album that dropped into my inbox last week is a majestic piece of over the top, bombastic, showing off, rifftastic and oblivion inducing noisiness; a symphony of a tight and talented band being directed by the Project leader to create amazing sounds that help provide contrasting visions of the discordant ingredients that make up this performance on record.
As a reference point I couldn't help but think back to the early 1980's and one of the original, and often underrated, exponents and developers of science within electronic music, Thomas Dolby. In 1982 he released his 'Golden Age of Wireless' album which was chock full of ideas that invoked scientific exploration and discovery. Which is something that DTP seem to have taken on and updated for a 21st century guitar driven band. Quite honestly, like Dolby, there are great parts of this album that are just completely bonkers, mad as a box of frogs, completely and utterly deliciously loony tunes. With my headphones on, listening to this album, I imagined a band with Christopher Lloyd playing guitar, Dr.Frank 'n' Furter on bass and Dr.Frankestein on drums. It is seemingly a live performance directed by Tim Burton in one of his more weird moments. It is a triumph of surrealist bombasticness, an opera of madness, a cacophony of crazy.
The thing with this album and project is that there is a lot thrown at it. But it works. From the choir that moves between sounding like a southern gospel group through to Russian sailors, often in the same song, to the crashing meld of guitars and drums, this live performance treads the thin line between being too over the top, too pretentious, too silly whilst still having glorious moments of sheer, unadulterated and joyful, scenery chewing genius. Referencing a stand out kitsch cult cinematic moment of the early 80's, if a director somewhere wished to remake Flash Gordon, then the Devin Townsend Project would have to be top of the list for the soundtrack. This live performance is fabulous, brilliant, funny and glorious.

Progradar Best of 2016 – Craig Ellis Bacon's Top 10
Anderson/Stolt – Invention of Knowledge
Expansive and spiritual in the vein of Tales From Topographic Oceans, this album–like all things Yes these days–has sharply divided the prog world's opinions. And everyone's got an opinion on this thing. Well, I'm firmly in the camp that Jon Anderson, Roine Stolt, and Co. have gifted us with a masterpiece. The album is a singular experience, a meditative exercise in four movements. The unrelenting positivity might sound out of place for these dark days, but it's nonetheless needed. Strong contender for album of the year, for those with ears to hear.
Big Big Train – Folklore
Big Big Train keep adding members, and with each addition they get a little–scrap that, they get A LOT–better. I think they've hit on a perfect line-up, because they've just released a perfect album. They continue here with themes of the English countryside and fading cultural artifacts, rocking a 'pastoral prog' approach that owes a lot to Selling England By The Pound and Wind & Wuthering. Be sure to listen to the extended version as released on vinyl and hi-res download.
Childish Gambino – "Awaken, My Love!"
Donald Glover and Ludwig Göransson deliver the funk with plenty of 70's heart and…well, y'know. There's lots of organic percussion, fat synths and keys, deep grooves, and vocal effects to fill out the tracks. Childish Gambino keeps things varied here, but centered on those 70's funk tropes, and somehow manage to inhabit rather than merely imitate. If Prince had released this album in the last few years, it would have been hailed as a renaissance and return to form.
Ben Craven – Last Chance To Hear
Great & Terrible Potions is quite an album to follow up, but Ben Craven has managed it with Last Chance To Hear. Loosely a concept album about the end of the music industry as we've known it, this album features William Shatner, prog-a-billy, a spot-on James Bond theme, and even a lovely piano elegy. It's also a contender for best album art and packaging, with gorgeous designs by Freyja Dean. Cinematic, progressive, singer-songwriter with lush production.
The Fringe – The Fringe
Nick D'Virgilio, Jonas Reingold, Randy McStine. I was sold on the first two names alone, and I wish I had known about the third sooner. Perhaps the album I've listened to the most this year, The Fringe incorporates the more alternative rock side of prog into a garage band ethos with my pick for the best production work of the year. The album is stacked with deep grooves, vocal harmonies, and guitar solos. The Fringe are too good to remain a side-project, so here's hoping that we hear more, and soon.
Frost* – Falling Satellites
Prog has always been a Populist musical venture, however strange that may sound these days. Why shouldn't pop be progressive, anyway? The latest from Frost* is the most modern-sounding album of the year; it's ahead of its time, really. All pop music will sound like this in ten years (we can hope). Hooky, layered, accessible, rich, and emotional–it suits a wide range of musical needs.
Steve Hindalong – The Warbler
Incorporating elements of his work with The Choir, The Lost Dogs, and his previous solo album, Steve Hindalong turns in another batch of so very human songs. His descriptive lyrics are so mundane–that is, they essentially capture the mundanity of everyday life–that they bypass our receptors for aesthetic filigree and hit straight at the heart. It's not unusual for a song to prompt tears, chuckles, and tears again in the course of a verse and chorus. Essentially a singer-songwriter album, the rich production frames the lyrics while never obscuring them. Don't let the religious backdrop scare you away; this is less of a 'Christian' album than what Neal Morse was writing before he was a Christian, and it captures themes of friendship and everyday existence so very well.
Marillion – F.E.A.R
Wow. Of course I want my Prog to be beautiful, grandiose, immersive, but to get one that's also so…so important? If I were ranking albums, this would have to be #1, and I'll happily listen to it twice for every person who's turned off by the message. Political prog at it's finest, and Mark Kelly is going to win an award for his keys on this album, right
Muriah Rose – Beneath The Clay
Muriah Rose hits the ground running with this gorgeous debut, comprising folk, country, Americana, and singer-songwriter forms recalling The Carter Family, Julie Miller, and The Byrds. Beneath The Clay is Appalachian music through and through, not only musically but thematically and emotionally. Her husband, Bill Mallonee, holds down the rhythm section and adds textured guitar, but Muriah's voice and lyrics stand front and center in the spotlight, where they belong.
Devin Townsend Project – Transcendence
Continuing in the vein of Sky Blue but with some Ocean Machine thrown in for good measure, Transcendence finds Devin Townsend working the "emotional mid-tempo rock" thing the DTP have perfected over the last several years, except that here they perfect it even a little more. While I'd love to hear more of Anneke Van Giersbergen's vocals, the decision to lean on her vocals a little less really brings Dave Young's guitar and Mike St-Jean's keys more to the forefront. It's not just marketing, folks: this album sounds less like a Project and more like a band effort. Nolly's mixing and production also add some breathing room to Devy's typically dense arrangements. It's heavy, proggy, inspirational, and good.

Cello has continued to experience robust trading for the first six months to 30 June 2013.
Cello Health has continued to grow revenues, with an ever increasing majority of income coming from outside the UK. Cello Consumer has returned to strong revenue growth and a solid recovery of margins, as expected.
The Board continues to be confident that trading for the first six months will be well ahead of the same period in 2012 and that current full year expectations will be met.
International revenues have been outpacing UK revenues, and now comprise the majority of Cello Health's activity, the largest market for Cello Health's services being the US. Cello Health has now opened an office in Chicago, to complement its other offices in New York and Philadelphia. Cello Health has also launched a US based early product commercialisation practice with a focus on helping clients address Market Access issues.
Cello Health's Consumer Health offering is expanding rapidly, following the growing importance of consumer issues to the Group's clients. In January, the Group acquired Mash Healthcare to accelerate its push into Consumer Health. Cello Health's central new business team has gained traction, with a number of noteworthy incremental client wins and opportunities. The Group's digital capabilities continue to grow rapidly.
Cello Health continues to add senior members to its team. Whilst the primary focus is continued organic expansion, the Group remains actively engaged in seeking targeted acquisitions to complement its client offer.
Cello Consumer has returned to growth as expected, along with an associated recovery in operating margins. The growth in the retained income profile of the business has been particularly pleasing. There have also been several significant project wins which have impacted the first half and which will positively influence the rest of the year. Whilst the business remains more UK centred than Cello Health, its international revenue profile is growing rapidly. Cello Consumer recently opened a new office in Los Angeles to complement its existing offices in San Francisco and New York. It also has taken on enlarged facilities in Singapore and a new office in Hong Kong. As a result, it can now sell global client solutions.
The primary engine of growth of Cello Consumer is the digital core of the business, enabling clients to exploit and deploy digital and social media to optimise their data gathering and communications execution. Cello Consumer recently launched the new version of its social media analytics product suite, Pulsar TRAC, to strong blue-chip client uptake and continued significant interest.
The majority of the start-up investments made in 2012 to promote growth have now turned to profit in 2013. As such, the organic investment model has already proven itself to be a prudent method of securing ongoing growth in value for the Group and its shareholders.
The planned transition to larger client contract sizes and more continuous contracts continues to make steady progress.
At the half year stage, net debt is better than management expectations, following continued strong conversion of profit to cash.
The Group will announce its full interim results on September 18th 2013.

If our lead picture looks familiar, it's probably because it is one of the most filmed locations in Morocco. The ksar (fortified village) of Ait Benhaddou has been popping up in movies for decades. From The Man Who Would Be King to The Mummy to Gladiator, Ait Benhaddou is arguably Morocco's most celebrated big screen legend. And if you are a Game of Thrones fan, this is the epic city of Yunkai (minus the giant CGI pyramids.) Can you believe it, we've visited Yunkai and Astapor in the same trip?
The UNESCO world heritage site was our entry point to the river valleys and remote oases of the Moroccan Sahara. The whole region is a playground for culture junkies and adventure travel fans. We grabbed another rental car in Ouarzazate, Morocco's desert take on Hollywood, and set out on an epic seven-day exploration winding and bumping our way from ksar to ksar, kasbah to kasbah. I would officially like to thank Thomas for sticking with me and indulging my severe architecture addiction, although he has officially forbidden me to overwhelm this post with pictures of "mud buildings." Well, excuse me!
Most travelers shoot through the region on whirlwind tours, but we would STRONGLY advise against that. While all of the "main attractions" are spectacular, this is definitely one region where it pays to get off the track a bit. Yes, the Draa Valley, with Morocco's largest oasis palmery, is an impressive site, but our hearts will always belong to the adobe backstreets of the N'kob oasis or decaying kasbahs of the Skoura oasis. Magic moments abound in the destinations between the supposed "highlights." One of our favorite finds was the very cool (and easy to miss) traditional house museum located deep within the Ksar de Tissargate. Don't be afraid to walk down that very intimidating, dark street that leads straight into the heart of he ksar – this little museum is worth it.
Having said that, there were moments that we really wished we had had a guide. Some villages are friendly and welcoming, others not so much. One small village just past Tamnougalt went so far as to even stone our car. (Although I strongly suspect after my reaction they won't do that again.) Similarly, we definitely felt very unwelcome in several of the isolated ksars in the Ziz Valley around Rissani. Let's just say we totally get the concept of the "evil eye" now. Too bad… because those ksars are architectural masterpieces which, with a little touristic management, could help bring relief to the extreme poverty in the region.
Yes, local hospitality may have its ups and downs, but the scenery and architecture recall the height of the trans-Saharan caravan routes that once brought salt, gold and – unfortunately – slaves to North Africa and Europe. The descendants of some of those slaves still inhabit many of the villages in the region today. In places like Ouarzazate and Tinerhir, the narrow streets of the Jewish mellahs (quarters) recall a time when the region boasted much more religious diversity. Because of the rich history, the sense of village life and the architectural heritage is better preserved here than in any other country in North Africa.
There are hundreds of eroding kasbahs, ksars and agadirs (fortified granaries) dotting the landscape. Many of the ruins are being restored into amazing kasbah hotels in the river valleys and oases just waiting to be discovered by curious explorers. This area is definitely worth a splurge or two for those who want to play Laurence of Arabia – another movie partially filmed in the region – for a night or two. We found great value stays at Kasbah Baha Baha in the N'Kob oasis, Hôtel Tomboctou in Tinerhir, and Ait Ben Hada in the Skoura oasis. All very atmospheric kasbah hotels in historical locations with great food options. So get out there and start exploring.
must be following the same route we did. we are huge GOT fans. didn't realize astapor was essaouria. morocco rocks!
We want more "mud building" photos! 🙂 Every single photo in this post is so stunning, beautiful and inspiring. I would hate to visit those places in a whirlwind tour as I might need at least a few hours at each place to really appreciate its beauty.
We are planning a trip to Morocco this fall and there are so many kasbahs I have no idea which ones should be on our itinerary. It sounds like you visited all the best ones. We will have two or three days. Which did you like best?
If architecture is your goal, you don't need to go that far to experience a great sampling of the kasbahs. We say that you should get off the track, but that doesn't mean that you need to drive all over the desert. Ait Benhaddou combines nicely with the Taouirt Kasbah in Ouarzazate and then you can get off the track a bit in the beautiful Ounila Valley and drive up to the Glaoui Kasbah in Telouet or take in the Kasbah Amerhidil in Skoura oasis and explore some of the other kasbahs in the same oasis. Tons to see and do, just give yourself some time to stop along the road and explore the areas you visit rather than trying to cram too much into a short trip. Definitely try to stay in a kasbah hotel along the way.

Dub Proof is an Asbury Park, New Jersey-based reggae band, mixing in elements of dub reggae, old school hip-hop and funk.

History
Dub Proof was founded in 2007 by bassist Nick Paolise, guitarist/vocalist Sean Milano, saxophonist David Hollander and drummer Patrick Clarke. They now perform with anywhere from three to ten members, including keyboardist Addis Pablo (son of Augustus Pablo). Their dub sound is done live.

Their song "Ocean Avenue" made online music zine Lucid Culture's Top Ten Songs of the Week in April 2009. Lucid Culture called the song, "Woozy instrumental dub reggae with a nice funky groove."

In 2010, they performed at a benefit concert in New Jersey to raise money for those harmed by the BP oil spill.

Dub Proof was named Top Groove Band at the 18th Annual Asbury Music Awards in 2010. For the 2011 awards, Paolise has been nominated for Top Bassist, and Kates for Top Keyboard Player.

"NJ Dub (Beer)" was released on August 16, 2011. It features a conventional version of the song, and a remix by producer and dub legend Scientist. The single was featured on URB's 2012 selection of songs for Martin Luther King Day.

Musical Style and Influences
Dub Proof writes its own music, and also covers classic by Bob Marley, Augustus Pablo, Sugar Minott and others. They have backed and performed with Burning Spear, Mighty Diamonds, Mykhal Rose of Black Uhuru, Pato Banton & The Now Generation, Badfish, EOTO, Culture, Nina Sky, Kosha Dillz, Kyle Rapps, Predator Dub Assassins and others.

The Courier News wrote that Dub Proof "brings the free-form vibe of dub to a live music setting for island-flavored reggae grooves." Dub Proof released 'It's the Music' (feat. Grindstone Road's Stephanie Quick) under the name Jersey Dub in 2007.

"Dub Proof lays down sensible, thinking man's groove that puts them right at the highest rank of performers specializing in soul-flavored reggae and slicked-back funk rock," The Aquarian Weekly wrote. "Styled from the old school, groove-oriented icons of Yellowman and the contemporary slant of Gogol Bordello, Dub Proof takes all bold chances as they move fluidly from the traditional into the jazz smooth sounds of Sade and the bluesy darkness of Curtis Mayfield."

Q: How can i get a checkbox text inside a
* tag and show this in another label in jQuery? What i want to do in the code below is a jQuery code which:

*

*If CheckBox1 is selected, the 'selectedCheckBox' label text becomes "Item 1" (same for checkbox2 and 3)

*(DONE)If 2 or more checkboxes are selected, the 'selectedCheckBox' label text becomes "Group"

<asp:Label ID="selectedCheckBox" runat="server" Text="Selected Checkbox Here!"></asp:Label>

......

        <asp:CheckBox id="CheckBox1 "runat="server" />Item 1

            <asp:CheckBox id="CheckBox2" runat="server" />Item 2

            <asp:CheckBox id="CheckBox3" runat="server" />Item 3

A: Try using this:

        <asp:CheckBox id="CheckBox1 "runat="server" OnCheckedChanged="CheckboxClick" Text="Item 1"/>

        <asp:CheckBox id="CheckBox2" runat="server" OnCheckedChanged="CheckboxClick" Text="Item 2"/>

        <asp:CheckBox id="CheckBox3" runat="server"  OnCheckedChanged="CheckboxClick" Text="Item 3"/>

In the code behind use something like this:
protected void CheckboxClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.selectecCheckBox.Text = ((CheckBox)sender).Checked ?
        ((CheckBox)sender).Text :
        this.selectecCheckBox.Text;
}

A: HTML:
   <asp:Label ID="selectecCheckBox" CssClass="selectBox" runat="server" Text="Selected Checkbox Here!"></asp:Label>

                    <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" Text="Item 1" />

                    <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox2" runat="server" Text="Item 2" />

                    <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox3" runat="server" Text="Item 3" />

Q: How to rereference a mutable slice I want to uptade a slice through a mutable reference.
While this does work with immutable slices:
fn shrink(value: &mut &[u8]) {
    *value = &value[0..2];
}

fn main() {
    let a = [0; 4];
    let mut a_slice: &[u8] = &a;
    shrink(&mut a_slice);
    println!("{:?}", a_slice);
}

It doesn't work with mutable ones:
fn shrink<'a: 'b, 'b>(value: &'a mut &'b mut [u8]) {
    *value = &mut value[0..2];
}

fn main() {
    let mut a = [0; 4];
    let mut a_slice: &mut [u8] = &mut a;
    shrink(&mut a_slice);
    println!("{:?}", a_slice);
}

Error message:
error[E0502]: cannot borrow `a_slice` as immutable because it is also borrowed as mutable
 --> src/main.rs:8:22
  |
7 |     shrink(&mut a_slice);
  |            ------------ mutable borrow occurs here
8 |     println!("{:?}", a_slice);
  |                      ^^^^^^^
  |                      |
  |                      immutable borrow occurs here
  |                      mutable borrow later used here

I know that there is a way to update the slice by directly returning a subslice.
But is there a way to make rereferencing a mutable slice through mutable reference possible?
The problem is similar to this one, but I can't figure what makes it so different, that proposed solution doesn't work.

A: I don't know what the problem is with that code, but one option would be to return the updated slice directly:
fn shrink(value: &mut [u8]) -> &mut [u8] {
    &mut value[0..2]
}

fn main() {
    let mut a = [0; 4];
    let mut a_slice = &mut a[..];
    a_slice = shrink(a_slice);
    println!("{:?}", a_slice);
}

Rather than updating via the mutable reference, updating in the caller makes it clear that the old value of a_slice won't be used any more.


Birchwood Intermediate School's crosswalk safety light is official. In a wonderful example of concerned parents working with the town of Huntington and the South Huntington School District, this new pedestrian crossing light is a reality.
When a pedestrian pushes a button at either side of the street, it activates bright strobe lights that flash in each direction to warn drivers to be prepared to stop. The curb area has also been extended several feet, making the area of crossing shorter and the sidewalk safety area wider.
Over the course of the next year Ms. Carey continued advocating for action, working with parents and school administrators to bring the issue to the attention of Supervisor Petrone. "I did it first as council president, and now as Board of Education trustee, but I did it always as a parent of a Birchwood student," Ms. Carey said.
Superintendent Dave Bennardo had nothing but praise for the parents in the community who were committed to making this happen. "This group of energetic and enthusiastic parents, who all have the kids' best interest at heart, worked well with the town of Huntington to make this happen," Said Superintendent Bennardo.
Town Supervisor Frank Petrone and Town Board members Susan Berland and Mark Cuthbertson joined in the dedication, along with the District Superintendent Dr. David Bennardo, Birchwood Assistant Principal Annie Michaelian, District Board of Education trustee Laura Carey, and Robert and Dorothy Boyle. One individual who is also greatly appreciative is crossing guard "Miss Cindy," who has been at the very same spot for the past 13 years and is due to retire after over 23 years of helping to ensure the safety of our students.

En la mitología griega los epígonos (en griego antiguo Ἐπίγονοι Epígonoi, 'nacidos después') son los hijos de los héroes argivos que lucharon y murieron en la primera guerra tebana. Polinices y seis aliados (los siete contra Tebas) atacaron Tebas porque el hermano de este, Eteocles, rehusó cederle el trono, como había prometido. La segunda guerra tebana, también llamada guerra de los epígonos, sucedió diez años después, cuando estos, queriendo vengar la muerte de sus padres, atacaron Tebas.

Lista comparada de los epígonos

La guerra

Tanto Apolodoro como Pausanias cuentan la historia de la guerra de los epígonos, si bien sus relatos difieren en varios aspectos. Según Apolodoro, el oráculo délfico había prometido la victoria si Alcmeón era elegido como líder, y por eso se le escogió. Egialeo murió a manos de Laodamante, hijo de Eteocles, pero Alcmeón mató a Laodamante. Los tebanos fueron derrotados y, por consejo del adivino Tiresias, huyeron de su ciudad. Sin embargo, Pausanias dice que Tersandro fue su líder, que Laodamante huyó de Tebas con el resto de los Tebanos, y que Tersandro se convirtió en rey de Tebas.

Como tema poético

Los epígonos es el título de una antigua épica griega sobre este tema. Constituía una secuela de la Tebaida y por tanto se la incluye en el ciclo tebano. Algunos la consideraban no como un poema separado sino como la última parte de la Tebaida. Solo se conoce la primera línea:

Los epígonos es también el título de una tragedia griega perdida escrita por Sófocles. Se conocen desde hace mucho unas pocas líneas de esta obra porque fueron citadas en comentarios y diccionarios de antiguos eruditos. En 2005 se descubrió un nuevo fragmento de varias líneas.

En el arte

Había estatuas de los epígonos en Argos  y Delfos.

Afternoon double shooting in Annapolis; suspect nabbed,
1 victim shot in face, 2nd victim caught a ride to ER
ANNAPOLIS, MD. – Annapolis Police report that the local population is attempting to keep up with their killing cousins in Baltimore and P.G. (Pretty Gory) County. The shooter, who has not yet been identified by police but is in custody, almost accomplished what Anne Arundel County Prosecutors have not been able to do; take two bad guys off the streets.
New edition of THE CHESAPEAKE TODAY now on newsstands in Delaware, Maryland & Virginia
Police say that on Friday, November 27, 2015, at 2:28 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 1800 block of Copeland Street for a report of shots fired. When officers arrived, they located a victim with a gunshot wound to the face. The victim was flown to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma via Maryland State Police. The victim has been identified as Traymont Wiley of 1822 Copeland Street, Annapolis, Md.
At approximately 2:50 p.m., as officers were working the scene in the 1800 block of Copeland Street, the Annapolis Police Department received numerous calls for shots fired in the 1300 block of Tyler Ave. Additional calls provided a description of the suspect and that he was running in the Robinwood community. A police sergeant and an Annapolis Fire Marshall encountered the suspect and ordered him to the ground. The suspect complied and was taken into custody.
The second victim was transported to the hospital by a family member. The victim is identified as Corey Holland of 1338 Tyler Avenue, Annapolis, Md. Holland received a gunshot wound to his abdomen.
Holland was charged with theft in Anne Arundel District Court on Aug. 4, 2015, and was represented by a public defender, paid for by taxpayers. On Nov. 24, 2015, Anne Arundel States Attorney Wes Adams dropped the charges.
On Nov. 5, 2013, Holland entered a guilty plea to attempted armed robbery in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court. A plea deal with the prosecutor allowed for credit of 72 days of time served; jail for 18 months and three years on probation.
Holland was charged with attempted first-degree murder and handgun violations in 2009 and the charges were dropped by the Anne Arundel States Attorney.
On Oct. 20, 2006, Holland was charged with burglary and on Aug. 28, 2007, he entered a guilty plea in Anne Arundel District Court. He was given three years in jail with one year, nine months and 158 hours suspended along with credit for time served.
Wiley was indicted for drug dealing from an incident which took place on Jan. 10, 2012. In a plea deal with the Anne Arundel County States Attorney on March 10, 2014, three charges were dropped and Wiley entered an Alford Plea, which indicate he and his mouthpiece both realized the prosecutor had plenty to convict him and put him in the slammer. The deal gave him probation before judgment and immediate parole. Wiley has assessed court costs of $45 which are pretty easy to pay when selling drugs. Other drug charges in 2009 were dropped by the States Attorney.
The suspect is in custody and criminal charges are pending.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Detective Charles Bealefeld at 410-268-9000 ext. 7268 or email him at cebealefeld@annapolis.gov.

Inbox Health Raises $3.5 Million in New Venture Funding
Katherine LaBash
NEW HAVEN, CT MARCH 10, 2020
Inbox Health, the patient communication platform for medical billers, has raised $3.5M in funding led by Healthy Ventures, joined by Collaborative Fund and Commerce Ventures. The funding will power Inbox Health's expansion into thousands of new practices, helping deliver modern patient communication and seamless billing experiences to more than one million people. The funding also included participation from existing investors: Connecticut Innovations, I2BF Global Ventures, Startup Health, and others.
Inbox Health powers amazing patient billing and payment experiences for billing companies and their practices. The platform analyzes millions of data points across its entire customer base, empowering billers to personalize each patient's billing, payment, and communication experience to drive significantly greater patient collections and patient experiences.
"This new funding will allow us to expand our reach faster and improve the billing experiences of millions more patients," says Inbox Health CEO and Co-Founder Blake Walker. "Healthcare is about caring for people. The current industry-standard static billing systems of today treat patients like numbers. But behind every bill is a unique person with unique needs, preferences, and payment ability profiles. Our mission is to power billing experiences that focus on who the patient is, honoring the patient experience while delivering top-notch results."
"Inbox operates within the $1 trillion dollar market opportunity of infrastructure needed to facilitate consumer healthcare payments. The company's differentiated distribution strategy of partnering with billers – a key part of the ecosystem – and the leadership team's product-first DNA are exactly the right combination for this market," shares Enmi Kendall, Co-Founder and General Partner of Healthy Ventures. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity driven by the shifting liability paradigms in healthcare. It takes a singular team to bring a smart, intentional product to serve both billers and end-user patients."
"Based on their decades of experience within healthcare, Blake and the Inbox Health team have uncovered a unique approach to modernizing payment for millions of patients and hundreds of thousands of providers – through the billing companies that service them," says Tejinder Gill, Principal at Collaborative Fund. "We are fortunate and excited to be joining them on this journey towards building the modern operating system for healthcare billing."
Inbox Health's platform now reaches in excess of one thousand practices, and 4.5 million patients across the US, with more than $1.3 billion of healthcare spending under management.
About Inbox Health

I was looking around for an idea for an easy weeknight dinner the other night when I spotted a new book with th e perfect title: "Sara Moulton's Everyday Family Dinners." Exactly what I needed: A slightly lighter (less butter filling, baked instead of fried) version of Chicken Kiev that was easy enough to do and still gave me a little time to sit on the patio with a glass of white wine before I got started.
In honor of Sara, let's give away a copy of the book. (I already tucked a copy of the Kiev in a safe place.) Respond in the comment section below (if you use the anonymous sign-in, give me a name I can use to recognize you) and we'll do a random drawing Friday. Remember to check back to see if you won.
Place each chicken breast flat on a cutting board. Starting at the thick end, insert a knife tip in horizontally into the center of each to make a pocket about as dip as the middle joint of your index finger and a little bite wider. Fill each pocket with 1 tablespoons herb butter, pressing the opening closed. Season each breast with a little salt and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line up 3 bowls. Place the flour in one, whisk the eggs in the second and place the crumbs in the third. Place 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over high heat and let it start heating while you get the chicken ready.
Place each chicken breast first in flour, turning to coat both sides, then into beaten egg, then into crumbs. Place the coated breasts in the skillet. Reduce heat to medium and saute breasts for 3 minutes per side or until golden. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil when you turn them.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake breasts until they are just cooked through, 8 to 11 minutes depending on their size. Serve with lemon wedges.
Note: For the herb butter, I just mixed about 2 cloves minced garlic and about 1 tablespoon fresh chopped oregano from my garden. But you could use thyme, marjoram or a combination of pretty much any fresh herbs. Just let the butter soften at room temperature for a short time and mush it all together with a fork. You also could skip the herbs and just flavor the butter with a little garlic.
I enjoyed watching Sara on America's Test Kitchen, and now on her own show. My wife is learning to cook since her layoff and this will be a great resource for her. Enjoy your blogs Kathleen -thanks!
I love easy weeknight meals like this!
Sarah is fun to watch...I bet her book is great!!
Have always loved Sara Moulton!
Hope I'm not too late for the drawing... I've been working so much I haven't had any time to look at the paper (online), let alone prepare a meal. Sounds like something I could use!
I love Chicken Kiev and Sara Molten. I miss her show. I used to watch all the time. She always has such great tips.
Would love to try this cookbook and the chicken kiev.
I'm in need of good recipes I can make when I get home from work!
Looks like a great working mom cookbook - thanks for the contest!
PS...I don't have to make those Mini Ice Cream Cookie Cups to tell you they don't taste like a million bucks.


The Nautis Dive Pro 200 is a timepiece to be reckoned with. Carefully crafted with a precision Japanese Quartz Movement, rotating bezel and genuine leather band, the Dive Pro 200 is a stunning accessory to any endeavor. Designed with 20 ATM water resistance, luminous hands and markers, this sports watch is perfect for the most adventurous oceandweller, whether exploring the shore or navigating the deep.


Wow. It always amazes me when time shows itself.. and what seems so long ago, really isn't that very long ago.
It seems like yesterday, when I was just a small girl... discovering my love for powder rooms.
I remember when powder rooms & 1/2 baths seemed to adorn only the biggest and fanciest homes. All of the powder rooms I encountered as a child, were always elaborately decorated and the had the BEST bowl of hand soaps!! Sometimes, I would even feel as if I had entered an entire different place.
I remember telling myself, "I am going to have a powder room in my house, one day!".
Now, over 30 years later... The powder room has nearly become an essential in a home's layout.
And, I think that is FANTASTIC news!!
With that, How will you design your powder room??
Check out this fabulous collection of powder rooms featured on Houzz.

Residents with Disabilities Take NYC Sidewalks to Court
Advocates for people with disabilities asked a federal court yesterday to declare that New York City has not done enough to make its sidewalks accessible.
The advocates want the court to accept the conclusions of a report released in August that found up to 80% of sidewalk curb cuts in the city do not meet the standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act and to order the city to come up with a plan to fix the situation.
"New York is a pedestrian city and people who use wheelchairs should be able to access every part of the city on its sidewalks," said Daniel Brown, an attorney for the Center for Independence of the Disabled of New York.
The CIDNY and a national group, Disability Rights Advocates, argued in their own lawsuit that the agreements were inadequate because, among other reasons, they lacked a stringent timeline for the city to achieve compliance.
In response to the groups' lawsuit, Daniels commissioned the report from disability rights expert Robert Burgdorf Jr., who found the vast majority of city intersections were not compliant with the ADA and that it could take 20 years for the city to meet the standards.
The report recommended the city survey pedestrian crossings for ADA compliance and devise a plan to reach compliance within eight years.
"It is truly an issue of safety as well as convenience and equal access," said Michelle Anne Caiola, director of litigation for Disability Rights Advocates.
In legal papers, city officials insisted they are working aggressively to improve access for the disabled and described Burgdorf's report as "completely divorced from legal and operational realities."
"The city takes its responsibilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act very seriously," a city Department of Transportation spokesman told the Daily News. "Enhancing accessibility is part of the DOT's mission, and each day we complete often complex work to improve our city's streets for the disability community."

Dallas Symphony Orchestra unveils its 2018-19 season. Who will lead when Jaap van Zweden leaves?
The Dallas Symphony Orchestra's 2018-19 concert season, announced Friday, doesn't answer the question: Who will be the orchestra's next music director? With Jaap van Zweden leaving this summer to head the New York Philharmonic, search committee chair Morton Meyerson thinks an announcement may happen by the end of the current season. But we're not there yet.
In the meantime, the orchestra may be hedging its bets by re-booking three of the conductors I'm guessing are in the running: the American James Gaffigan, the Scotsman Donald Runnicles and the Spaniard Pablo Heras-Casado. Even assuming an appointment is announced in May, conductors' advance schedules make it unlikely that a new music director could take over at least until the 2019-20 season.
Without a music director in place, the DSO will be using a variety of conductors next season — six from the DSO "family." As conductor laureate, van Zweden will pace a program including the Mahler First Symphony. Former principal guest conductor Claus Peter Flor will make a welcome return for a program of Wagner and Strauss.
Principal guest conductor Claus Peter Flor directs the Dallas Symphony Orchestra in 2005.
Assistant conductor Ruth Reinhardt will appear on both classical and the more casual ReMix series, and her predecessor, Karina Canellakis, will lead one classical program. Concertmaster Alexander Kerr will double as conductor and violinist on one of the ReMix programs. Former assistant conductor Lawrence Loh will lead holiday concerts.
Ruth Reinhardt conducts at City Performance Hall on Friday, May 19, 2017.
Other familiar faces on the podium will include David Zinman, David Robertson, Carlos Kalmar and (although in his DSO conducting debut) composer John Adams. Also on the conducting roster: Andrew Grams, Brett Mitchell, Matthew Halls, Krzystof Urbanski, Juraj Valcuha, Lionel Bringuier and John Storgards.
Unusually, the September Gala will feature not a classical headliner but actress/singer Kristin Chenoweth. The Soluna International Music and Arts Festival will move earlier, to April, to coordinate with the Dallas Art Fair and the city-wide Dallas Arts Month; programming will be announced later.
There's a particularly strong lineup of violin soloists on the classical schedule: Augustin Hadelich, Leila Josefowicz, Karen Gomyo, Stefan Jackiw and Renaud Capuçon, as well as the DSO's own Kerr and Nathan Olson. As an artist-in-residence, Leonidas Kavakos will perform as both violinist and conductor. Pianists will include Yefim Bronfman, Hélène Grimaud, Louis Lortie, Jonathan Biss, Jan Lisiecki, Andrew Van Oeyen and Orli Shaham.
Within the roundup of usual repertory suspects, there are a few surprises. The Dallas Symphony Chorus will perform Carl Orff's Carmina Burana yet again (somewhat surprisingly, in the Pops series), but also Rachmaninoff's The Bells and Haydn's The Creation. The only orchestral work just making it into the 21st century is Dallas native Christopher Theofanidis' Rainbow Body. John Adams will conduct two of his most popular works, Short Ride in a Fast Machine and the Violin Concerto.
More "legacy" American music, shamefully neglected in recent DSO seasons, is represented on the classical series by only two works: Copland's Appalachian Spring and Bernstein's Age of Anxiety Symphony, the latter marking the composer's centenary. (Bernstein's music also will be featured on pops and family concerts.) Rounding out the complement of more modern music will be Orawa (1986) by the late Polish composer Wojcieck Kilar and Tabula Rasa (1977) by the contemporary Estonian Arvo Pärt.
There's a little bump of British music: four works by Elgar and William Walton's First Symphony. Denmark will be represented by Carl Nielsen's dramatic Fifth Symphony.
On the lighter side, a movies-in-concert series will include Star Wars: A New Hope, Jurassic Park and The Little Mermaid. Pops concerts will feature music of Bernstein, Andrew Lloyd Webber, John Williams and Prince. And Hamilton star Leslie Odom Jr. will make an appearance.
In general, I again wish DSO programming were a little more imaginative, with less automatic reliance on obvious repertory choices. How about Copland's dazzling Organ Symphony instead of the thrice-familiar Appalachian Spring? (The Meyerson Symphony Center's Fisk organ will make no solo appearance on next season's orchestral concerts, although the Opus 100 recital series will present Thomas Heywood, James O'Donnell and Monica Czausz.) While on the subject of American music, how about one of the worthy symphonies of George Chadwick or Walter Piston? Has the DSO ever played a piece by the late Elliott Carter?
Once again, in a city and state with a huge and growing Latino population, there's not a single work by a composer from south of the Rio Grande, or from a Latin-American composer in the United States. There's not a single work by an African-American or Asian — or by a woman. One needn't obsess over political correctness — or match the Los Angeles Philharmonic's multi-cultural lineup of 50 new commissioned works next season — to think the DSO still too stuck in the Old White Guys rut.
Subscription packages, from $119 to $1,789, are now on sale. Single tickets will go on sale this summer. For further information on programming and ticket packages, call 214-849-4376 or go to mydso.com.

Feds File Suit Against V.I. Government Over VIWMA
Lynda Lohr
On Monday the U.S. Department of Justice filed suit in U.S. District Court on St. Thomas against the V.I. government for its failure to live up to the terms of consent decrees between the V.I. Waste Management Agency, the V.I. government and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The consent decrees concern the Bovoni landfill on St. Thomas and the Anguilla landfill on St. Croix. The Bovoni consent decree was filed March 19, 2012. The Anguilla consent decree was filed Jan 14, 2013.
"There are a number of issues with both these landfills," EPA spokesman John Martin said from his New York office.
Martin said he couldn't comment on why the V.I. Waste Management Authority failed to live up to the terms of the consent decrees.
The suit mandates that the local government and VIWMA pay the federal government $2.5 million in penalties accrued through Oct. 31 for their failure to comply with the two consent decrees.
Additionally the suit mandates that VIWMA "expeditiously abate the subsurface fires at Bovoni and Anguilla."
The authority must also submit a correct gas collection and control system plan for Bovoni that address the previous plan's deficiencies. It must include a plan for a temporary gas collection system and "accounts for fire damage." The Bovoni gas collection system was destroyed by a fire earlier this year.
The suit mandates VIWMA address the problem of the very steep slopes at Bovoni by building a masonry wall on the east side of the landfill and a structural fill berm on the west side. They must also get the proper permits for the projects.
According to the court document, the government shall immediately seek approval from the Legislature to float bonds to pay for all the obligations agreed to under the two consent decrees.
V.I. Waste Management Authority Director May Adams Cornwall, VIWMA Chief Operations Officer Steven Aubin and Government House spokeswoman Kim Jones could not be reached for comment Monday evening.
The ultimate goal of the consent decrees is to close both landfills. According the consent decree, the target date for Anguilla is June 30, 2020. The Bovoni consent decree doesn't indicate a specific date but notes it must be closed two years and two months after it stops accepting waste on April 30, 2019.
At an April hearing in the Legislature, VIWMA officials said it would cost $75.4 million to close both landfills.
Monday's suit is the latest salvo from the EPA in its decades-long efforts to bring the landfills into compliance with federal regulations.
"We take this very seriously," Martin said.

Job interviews are disreputable for being scary. However, since these interviews are an integral part of the whole hiring process, you cannot escape it. As such, the best thing to do would be to prepare yourself for the face to face interview.
And, part of the interview preparation process includes knowing how to conduct yourself in a face to face interview. How you enter the room for the job interview and the way you conduct yourself during the interview process – all of it needs to be top-class.
Whether it is a telephonic interview or a face to face interview, confidence is the key to success. Confidence in itself is very attractive and can work to leave a favorable impression on the interviewer.
So, be confident in your abilities and know there must be some reason you were shortlisted for the job interview. If you continue to belittle yourself or doubt your abilities then it will reflect in the way you conduct yourself.
However, be wary of coming across as an over-confident snob or you might lose the gig just as easily. Don't be scared to show that you have faith in yourself but don't discard the opinions of others, especially the interviewer. Be ready to listen to what other people have to say and try to understand them.
Your body language says a lot more about you than you can possibly imagine. If you have watched the Sherlock Holmes series, then you would understand how people give away a lot of information through the way they conduct themselves.
So, if you want to leave a favorable impression on the recruiter, then every aspect of you should reflect it. And, you can start working your magic from the moment you enter the room.
Walk with confidence, pull your shoulders back and keep your chin up (ideally parallel to the ground). Practice a firm handshake and smile warmly.
Also, try to maintain eye contact with the interviewer as it will make you come across as someone really interested in the job profile.
It is normal to fidget when we are nervous. However, this normal fidgeting might turn things against you during a face to face interview. All your air of confidence will come to nothing if your legs are shaking nervously under the table or if you keep wriggling your hands together.
If you feel your composure is giving away and you want to fidget then do something that might distract or stop you from it. Like you can cross your legs to keep them from shaking and keep your hand(s) on the table to keep them from wriggling.
Also, whenever you feel nervous then try to remember that this is not the end of the world and you will get more opportunities after this. So, there is no need to be so nervous about a face to face interview.
To get your body language right and to keep away from nervousness during the face to face interview, you can take the help of Mock-AI.
Mock-AI is a mock interview tool that conducts interviews in a simulated environment. With Mock-AI you get to answer actual interview questions and get knowledge of your strengths and weaknesses.
The comprehensive result provided at the end of the test, along with study materials can be a real boon.
People often assume that a face to face interview is solely about the interviewer asking you questions. However, that is an old concept as interviews these days are more about interaction and having an engaging conversation.
So, be prepared with interview questions that you can ask in return to keep the conversation going. However, don't ask personal questions or questions whose answer you can easily find on the internet.
Keep the questions restricted to the company, it's operations, the team you would be a part of (if selected) and so on. If there is something that you read about the company but you couldn't really understand or comprehend, then talk about it.
Show the interviewer that you have done your homework thoroughly and are really excited about the opportunity.
If you don't know the answer to any particular question, be honest about it. If you are passionate about the job, don't be scared to show it.
Interviewers seek honest and sincere people to be a part of the company. Also, they want someone who is honest, genuine and most importantly, polite.
How you conduct yourself during a face to face interview is important but so is how you conduct yourself outside of it. Of course, you should give due respect to the interviewer, not interrupt when they are speaking but also give equal respect to others around you.
From the office-boy to the HR person who might have arranged the interview, you should be polite to them too.
How you conduct yourself during a face to face interview can be detrimental into deciding whether you get the job or not. So, be confident, know your value, be polite and interactive. Also, try to be organized for the job interview and dress up well for the process.
You would not want to lose marks on these things when the interview day comes. Also, whether you get selected or not, remember to send a thank you note across to the interviewer and the HR.
All in all, you should be well prepared for your job interview with high confidence. And, if you have any reservations regarding your interview preparations, then you can always take professional help of MockAI. Register for your subscription today!

ZC board chairman Tavengwa Mukuhlani
Zimbabwe Cricket clear legacy debt, seek to revive club cricket, academy
25th June 2020 Sport, Tennis
By Sports Reporter
ZIMBABWE CRICKET (ZC) has set its sights on reviving the country's once vibrant club cricket structures and the re-establishment of a national academy, as it moves closer to financial stability, having managed to nearly pay off its legacy debts amounting to US$27 million.
ZC's financial situation was one of the major talking points as the local cricket governing body held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) virtually for the first time in the organisation's history due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
ZC board chairman Tavengwa Mukuhlani revealed that despite facing such a difficult year due to the country's suspension by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Covid-19 pandemic the cricket body emerged in a much stronger financial position.
"Perhaps the biggest irony of our lifetime, the very same horrible year saw us making huge strides towards making ZC debt-free," Mukuhlani said while presenting the chairman's report to delegates during the virtual AGM.
"At the close of the just-ended financial year, we had whittled the US$27 million legacy debt down to US$1 million, in the process breaking the chains that had enslaved our organisation to an unending cycle of financial troubles."
The repaid amounts included the US$6 million obligation to the ICC as well as the loans worth up to $10 million that were housed under the Zimbabwe Asset Management Company (ZAMCO).
"You will probably recall that when I was first elected as ZC chairman in 2015, I made it clear that my board's top priority would be to address our game's perennial viability challenges and to forge a sustainable financial and cricket future for our country," Mukuhlani said.
"That required us to implement an intricate debt resolution plan which ultimately saw us engaging ZAMCO to assume ZC's debts which had been choking the organisation because of high interest rates.
"Under the arrangement, we were supposed to settle the ZAMCO obligations by 2023 but, as we take stock of the period under review, I am proud to report that – a whole three years earlier – ZC is nearly debt-free."
Mukuhlani said after clearing most of the crippling dept ZC would be turning its attention to the development of the game's grassroots structures which includes the revival of club cricket and the re-establishment of a national academy.
ZC is also planning to breathe new life to first-class cricket in the country, while the establishment of a provincial women's competition is also being mooted.
Mukuhlani also reflected on the devastating effects of the ICC's suspension of the country's membership and the coronavirus pandemic during the 2019/20 year.
"From the game teetering on the brink of collapse to a global health crisis on a scale not seen in over a century, 2019/20 should probably go down in history as a massive write-off," Mukuhlani said.
"When we thought the worst was over, then came the coronavirus pandemic that plunged the world into a crisis like no other, with millions infected and hundreds of thousands succumbing to the respiratory disease," Mukuhlani said.
"The pandemic caused the most significant disruption to the worldwide sporting calendar since World War II that saw international series being postponed and major tournaments being thrown into doubt.
"For us, it was a devastating blow, messing up what would have been a fairly busy calendar for Zimbabwe – something we desperately needed after enduring a terrible start to 2019/20."
ZC acting managing director Givemore Makoni also reiterated that the organisation would prioritise boosting its game development as well as domestic and international cricket structures.
". . . having successfully navigated a 2019/20 that threw suspension, financial troubles, a deadly virus and everything bad at us, I find pleasure in reflecting on how ZC managed to cope with such a myriad of challenges to emerge in a much stronger position," Makoni said in his report during the virtual AGM.
"Indeed, the beauty of the mess – an oxymoron if ever there was one – was our ability to make the most of the difficult situation.
"This would not have been possible without the commitment, hard work and massive sacrifices made by our management and staff who had to face layoffs, take pay cuts and operate within shoe-string budgets to ensure cricket continued being played at all levels.
"The difficulties we faced – and conquered – in 2019/20 could only prepare us for a better future.
"As we all know, domestic competitions are seen by the cricket world as the barometer of the game's health.
"We are therefore going to strengthen our domestic competitions and our entire pathway to ensure that in the end our national teams, both male and female, are very competitive and capable of qualifying for and doing well at the major global tournaments."

The diptyque story began in Paris at 34 boulevard Saint-Germain with, at its heart, three friends driven by the same creative passion. Christiane Gautrot was an interior designer, Desmond Knox-Leet, a painter, and Yves Coueslant, a theater director and set designer. The first two collaborated designing fabrics and wallpaper for Liberty and Sanderson. They were joined by the third in 1961 and opened a shop to display their designs. Yves became the administrator and consultant; Desmond and Christiane were the artistic soul. Bit by bit, with finely honed taste, the trio transformed the site into a one-of-a-kind setting, a kind of stylish bazaar where one found surprising articles unmatched in Paris, mined and conveyed home by the trio over the course of their travels.
