DSM will open its first application development technical center for engineering plastics in Japan on 26 March 2013 at the Yokohama Business Park in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture. The launch of the DSM Engineering Plastics Japan Technical Center is fully in line with DSM's strategy to support and grow business not only with customers in Japan but also with overseas Japanese Transplants, for which material specifications are determined in Japan. DSM recognizes the importance of developing new innovative and more sustainable applications together with its customers in Japan.
Having the new technical center, DSM can provide fast and specific test data for its products, and can collaborate more closely with existing and new customers. For establishing the center, DSM Japan Engineering Plastics K.K. is grateful for subsidies received from "Subsidy Program for Projects Promoting Asian Site Location in Japan" by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Japan and from "Targeted Industry Programs" by Yokohama City.
DSM regards the search for sustainable solutions as a key driver for success and profitability. In addition to reducing the environmental footprint of its own operations by reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, it is also driving sustainability via the engineering plastics it produces and in the applications they are used for.

Horror Patch's HALLOWEEN MONSTER MASH – Day 2: PUMPKINHEAD!
Posted on October 2, 2020 by Michael Juvinall in Features, Halloween // 0 Comments
PUMPKINHEAD (1988)
After his son dies in a hit-and-run accident, Ed Harley (Lance Henriksen) seeks revenge against the teenagers responsible. With the help of a local witch (Florence Schauffler), Ed summons the vengeful demon Pumpkinhead to hunt and kill the group of friends. But when Ed discovers a bond between himself and the creature, he begins to have second thoughts about employing the vicious monster, and he fights to end Pumpkinhead's murderous rampage before it is too late.
Pumpkinhead was the directorial debut of special makeup effects wizard Stan Winston, who also created the creature for the film. The film was a modest success when it was released into theaters in 1988. The film spawned three sequels, a comic book series, and a lot of merchandise.
Lance Henriksen in the lead role of Ed Harley is really why the movie works as good as it does, aside from the creature itself. His presence in almost any film elevates it above the competition. The remainder of the cast is passable as well, including Jeff East, John D'Aquino, Kimberly Ross, Joel Hoffman, Cynthia Bain, Kerry Remsen, Florence Schauffler, and George 'Buck' Flower.
For me, Pumpkinhead is one of the most iconic and original creature features created in the past 50 years. Pumpkinhead himself is definitely a worthy addition to the pantheon of the greatest monster movies ever made.

For the duration of the fight, creatures in the immediate area will not be visible to you (but they may still attack you if they wander too close). Keep in mind that other players will still be able to see you and attack you if you are eligible for player vs. player (PVP). Other players will also be able to view your pet battle in real time, including the pets involved as well as their health as the match progresses.
Start making serious gold with our Crafting section, which will help you determine which items are worth creating by comparing the cost of the materials to the amount they can be sold for. The guides themselves are dynamic, so if you don't already have the recipe required they will tell you how to get it, and if all the ingredients aren't available to buy outright you will have the option to farm them.
I think you are referring to the Env Bert strat I have linked. Basically I agree. But you might have noticed that I already had added min power to pet #2, in order to exclude some of the substitutes. Though, I didn't wan't to do the same with the Blazehaound (pet #1), because I think the strat is doable also with a suboptimal breed. But maybe you are right and I should just exclude any non-P/P breeds.
Why was this downvoted? The swing analogy is horrible. There's nothing physical that's going to change when u play the game the exact same way as 04 05 06. The difference is u know what's going on as opposed to not knowing where anything is. A good analogy would be playing Pokémon red again after beating the elite 4. The game itself won't be any worse, it just will be easier and maybe less enjoyable if all you enjoyed is the aspect of not knowing where to go. But this is why pvp servers are magical, because each time you level a character, your leveling experience is different based on the encounters that happen while questing. In 05 U may have breezed through stv, but in classic u may spend an hour on a single quest solely because of the competition between factions on that particular quest.
Kaivax, a WoW forum community manager, revealed that WoW Classic's class design, battleground mechanics and stats on existing items will be set to their 1.12 state, despite the game releasing content that expands beyond that. This removes "progressive itemization," so if the stats on a specific piece of equipment was changed during the original updates, that won't take effect in this version.
Nov 9 Trial and veteran account restrictions Okay so this is something that Definitely needs to be brought to the attention of the entirety of the player base. The Restrictions for anyone who is on a trial account are as follows. - Characters that are created cannot be leveled beyond 20. (Keep in mind the max level today is 120.) - The maximum amount of gold your characters can carry is 10 gold. - The maximum amount of skill you can obtain in any profession is 100. - The only people who can see you /says and /emotes are any players who are not 10 levels above your own level. (This means the maximum level players can be before the can no longer see your emotes or /says is 31.) - The only players a trial account user can whisper, is anyone who happens to have that specific character on their friends list. - Players of a Trial account are not allowed to make use of Auction houses, Mailboxes, or any form of trading between players. - Trial account players cannot join or create any guilds. - Trial account players are unable to access Trade, Local defense, or General chats in any zone. - Trial account players are unable to invite people into parties. - No pet battling. ... For Veteran Account players, the only difference is that a Veteran account can join a guild that one of their other characters is already in. The reason this is being posted is simple. It has been very rare for me to be able to find anyone who understands the idea of a level 4 not having says or Emote during RP because of them being a Trial or Veteran account. Players who do not understand this, end up getting offended with the Trial or Veteran account owner even though they have no control over these restriction. This needs to stop. It's hard enough already as a player who is using a restricted account without players who are not attempting to understand the situation, getting hostile towards these players and completely ruining the game for our newer and Veteran players. Before a GM tries to shoot this down if they have a reason to... Keep this in mind. It's true that these users who use Trial or Veteran accounts are not paying anything, but they are still players and should be respected just as much as the players who do pay. I'm not saying remove the limitations... make people aware of the restrictions. There are players who don't know about them simply because they never had to put up with it. This makes them ignorant towards those players who do use those trial and veteran accounts and will not think twice about putting them down for something they have no control over. You can tell them to report those player all you like, but at the end of the day..... There are a lot of players who don't know about them. MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF THE RESTRICTIONS. I'm doing so myself, starting with this thread.Eindrache4	Nov 9
Along with revealing the WoW Classic release date, Blizzard also listed plans for both a beta and stress test of the game. Players who opt-in for the testing on their account manager page and have an active subscription will be randomly selected for the beta starting May 15. Then the developer will have three stress tests where players can log in to play the game for a short period of time on the following dates:
Hey! Just came back from the game, looking to play bfa but i had no idea what to do when i logged on. It was all a bit confusing and i know nothing about the current content. So after some frustration i bought zygor again (haven't used it since cata ..) and i do currently feel more comfortable. I'm following the guides from the 'suggested' tab in zygor but i'm just really unsure if what i'm doing is even relevant. I know the end of the expansion is coming so i'd hate to waste my time. OK i will list the things it's been telling me to do.
Nov 8 New player! Hi there, I'm a new player. I just started today and it's a lot of game to take in. I was wondering if anyone has the time to explain/help me with general information about WoW. I'm an Orc Warrior in Emerald Dream server. I'm currently a free-to-play as I'm wanting to check the game out before I invest. Also, is this a good server? I was looking for a balanced server (Alliance:Horde) with good PvE/PvP content. Thank you!Beysiq5	Nov 8
Hey folks! I've got a small update here to help quell some of the rumors and let you know where we are at for WoW Classic. We recently began a phase of internal employee alpha testing. The new build data that many of you have been discussing over the last few days is simply part of this process. Phases like this allow us to test out the game content along with other functionality that will be used in the live game, like logging in through the Blizzard Battle.net 175 App.
Thanks for stopping by! I'm Crzypck, officer, Raid Leader, and tank of Mist on Area 52, and the official raid guide writer partnered with Limit, the US#1 and World #2 guild. This is the home page for Limit's Official Battle of Dazar'alor Mythic Raid Guide. Every strategy guide has been thoroughly discussed, reviewed, and approved by officers from Limit.
This is definitely why we do a beta test. We can also do things like reset the realm at a busy time like 4:30pm PDT to try and find the source of a certain issue where a crocolisk is losing it's brain due to how multiple processes are interacting and mirroring code to form a cohesive world. There were similar types of issues like this back in 2004 but we wanted to try and resolve this one before the weekend for the folks who are testing. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Blizzard said it will choose players who have active subscriptions to the regular game based on a variety of factors to help them test the beta. It could be based on your PC, your commitment to the game, or just your luck. If you get in, you'll likely receive an email, but if not, you can check your launcher. And remember: as with any beta, your progress will not be saved for when the game launches later this year.
As someone who's leveled enough Alliance and Horde characters to fill multiple accounts, it remains to be seen whether replaying content I've seen many times before will keep my attention in the long term. But even the thought that it might suggests that for many people, this could represent a novel experience compared to the modern game, something at least worth a try.

World of Warcraft Classic is currently in beta, which means some players are getting a chance to experience a much older version of the MMO ahead of its release. WoW Classic is based on how WoW played in August 2006, back around update 1.12. Back then, things were different. Tauren hitboxes were much larger, sitting could cause certain combat effects to not trigger and completed quests were marked with dots and not question marks. Strange days.
The system is automated, meaning that once slots are available, beta testers will be chosen, without any beta key to speak of. Kaivax then goes to stress the importance of your account security, stating that, "any third-party e-mail messages, websites, or in-game whispers that offer beta keys or access to the WoW Classic Beta should be considered illegitimate and ignored or reported."
Nov 13 What are the differences between versions? I just have a trial at the moment but i'm confused on what each version offers. Normal Sub : $15 a month Battle for Azeroth: $50 (needs subscription) Complete Colelction: $60 As far as i knew if you had a subscription to the game you get all of the content minus the latest expansion. So let me see if this is right. If i were to get the complete collection i would get one month at a $5 discount and the newest expansion OR Just pay $15 For the game and all expansions EXCEPT BFA?Buresh2	Nov 13

OG Jermon Bushrod had another disappointing performance, especially in the run blocking game, where he had his worst grade of the season. It was, however, the first game since Week 1 at Seattle where he did not allow a QB hurry.
DE Cameron Wake closed out the season on a positive note after having his worst game of the year in Week 16 at Buffalo. He finished the season as the third ranked 4-3 DE and had 44 QB hurries with 11.5 QB sacks.
The Miami linebacker corpse (rather corps) struggled in pass coverage as it has all season long, particularly Kiko Alonso. He allowed the biggest play of the game when Tom Brady connected with Julius Edelman on a 77 yard touchdown that essentially put the game away in the second half.
DT Ndamukong Suh had his worst game of the season, as he wasn't able to make an impact in the run defense game. Despite the poor performance, Suh finished the year as the third ranked DT, trailing only the Rams' Aaron Donald and Arizona's Calais Campbell.
DT Earl Mitchell had a strong game in the pass rush game, recording three QB hurries on the afternoon. However, he struggled in run defense, missing two tackles on the afternoon.
DT Jordan Phillips had his strongest game of the season, grading out well in both pass rush and run defense. He recorded two stops, a QB hurry, and a batted pass.

Elon Musk, the head of US electric vehicle producer Tesla, will only get paid if company stock shows strong performance, according to a plan approved by Tesla shareholders on Wednesday.
Each time Tesla's stock grows by $50 billion, Musk will get one percent from the company's market cap. If none of these goals are reached, he will not receive anything.
If Musk wants to get the maximum from the $50 billion award, company stock must skyrocket 1,300 percent from the current market cap of $50 billion and reach $650 billion.
"This ensures that Elon will continue to lead Tesla's management over the long-term while also providing the flexibility to bring in another CEO who would report to Elon at some point in the future," the company said earlier. Some institutional investors in the company have doubted the new plan, saying that Musk may lack motivation under this scenario.
The company's stock grew 1.93 percent on the news to $316.53 per share. The company's market capitalization now stands at $53.4 billion.


If you have a health condition it is your responsibility to report it to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) if it could affect your ability to drive. If you have an an unreported health problem that affects your driving you could be fined up to £1000 and if you have an accident you could also be prosecuted.
What medical conditions do I need to report to the DVLA?
You must notify the DVLA if you have developed a 'notifiable' medical condition or disability since obtaining your licence. They must also be informed if you have a condition or disability that has got worse over time.
The 'notifiable' conditions include epilepsy, strokes, other neurological and mental health conditions, or physical disabilities and visual impairments that could affect your ability to drive safely.
If you are unsure whether your condition will affect your driving, consult your doctor for further advice.
Everyones faculties will deteriorate as they get older, but this will of course depend on the individual concerned. If you feel you may no longer be able to drive due to an age related condition, you should consult your GP for professional advice.
Sometimes people are unaware of a gradual decline in their faculties, so it is also advisable to check with your doctor if a friend or colleague feels you may no longer be fit to drive.

Q: Quotient groups and normal subgroups I am wondering if there is some characterization of the normal subgroups of a quotient group.
More precisely let $G$ be a group and $H$ a normal subgroup. Let $U$ be a normal subgroup of the quotient group $G/H$. Is it possible to relate $U$ (the normal subgroups of the quotient) to the normal subgroups of $G$ or vice-versa, i.e. is there any link between them?
Thank you in advance!

A: Let $\phi$ be the quotient map from $G$ to $G/H$ then;
You can easily show that;
If $N$ is normal in $G$ then $\phi(N)$ is normal in $G/H$ and if $L$ is normal in $G/H$ then $\phi^{-1}(L)$ is normal in $G$.
Actually there is a one to one correspndonce between normal sobgroup of $G/H$ and normal subgroup of $G$ containing $H$.
http://www.proofwiki.org/wiki/Correspondence_Theorem_(Group_Theory)

A: All subgroups $U$ of $G/H$ are of the form $U = K/H$ for $H \leq K \leq G$. Furthermore, $U = K/H \unlhd G/H \iff K \unlhd G$.

Schoolyard Risks
ONE MORNING THIS past fall, the university in my hometown in North Carolina went into lockdown based on reports of a man near campus carrying an assault rifle. The university blared warnings of "a dangerous incident" while police swept the area. There were rumors that the gunman had taken hostages on a bus or in a class building. Eventually, authorities tracked down the suspect, a senior at the university. It turned out that he was just carrying an umbrella. "I was in a German class and I was the one that told my class there was an armed man. … I had no idea it was me," the student later told a local news station.
While on the surface amusing—an umbrella and an assault rifle look quite different, after all—this incident speaks volumes about the impact that school shootings have had in the United States. Certainly, they have propelled schools to alter their security procedures and sparked debates about gun control (as well as violent video games and Marilyn Manson). On a more fundamental level, however, Columbine, Virginia Tech, and other tragedies have altered the American psyche. We collectively harbor the fear that another young person might open fire on his fellow students, this time at a school we know. We crave knowing what might compel a shooter to act, so that we can understand what scares us. Our fear ebbs and flows, spiking each time a new shooting occurs, but at even its lowest levels, it is high enough to set people's imaginations spinning toward worst-case scenarios. And so a sturdy umbrella becomes, in the eye of the beholder, a deadly weapon carried by a young person with revenge or statement-making in mind.
In her well-intentioned but flawed book, Jessie Klein, a professor of sociology and criminal justice, seeks to explain why school shootings happen and to analyze their consequences. She argues that bullying is the crux of the problem: bullying, whether inflicted by individual students or school environments more broadly, motivates shooters ("a recipe for violence ensues when boys are pressured to be hypermasculine and then are marginalized"); and it is on display when they act ("[shooters] believed their violent response, a quick and easy demonstration of masculine prowess, would win them the recognition they desperately craved"). This theory is what frames Klein's discussion of the taunting, name-calling, reputation-trashing, beating, and other cruelties that have become "an intrinsic part of the cutthroat status wars … commonplace at school."
There are several problems with Klein's execution of this argument. Although her discussion of the widespread social, economic, and cultural tendencies that she believes lead to bullying in American schools—aggression, dominance, the prizing of beauty and wealth—hold some truth, her effort to explain why these tendencies exist is a jumble of finger-pointing at everything she thinks ails us: capitalism, Reaganism, suburban culture, mass media, the Internet, corporations, advertising, sports teams, fraternities, standardized testing, the fact that we are not more like Europe. Similarly, her assertions about what should be done to fix this grab-bag of problems are often banal. ("There is a crucial need in our society, I believe, for less Facebook and more 'face.'")
When she does describe specific anti-bullying programs that she believes take a good approach by seeking to build "cooperative, compassionate" school communities—an admirable goal, which contrasts with the security- and punishment-focused policies more frequently adopted by schools—Klein often fails to provide evidence that they are effective. When discussing the Sports Leadership Institute, started at Adelphi University (where Klein works), she provides anecdotes from its director attesting to its value and mentions the number of students it served before it was cancelled for budgetary reasons, but she does not offer concrete proof that it reduced rates of bullying. This is not to say that the program was unsuccessful; and perhaps data on its impact do not exist because the program was cut off too soon. But in putting forward programs that allegedly "work," Klein should have done more to show that they actually do.
The central defect of The Bully Society, however, is Klein's use of school shootings as a framing device. It distracts from what should be the central discussion—why do we have a bullying crisis and how do we fix it? —by playing, whether inadvertently or not, to the fear already induced by school shootings that they could happen to anyone, anywhere. If the young men (and they are mostly young men) who have perpetrated shootings were bullied, and thousands of students are bullied every day, does that mean there are ticking time bombs everywhere? (According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2009, nearly 20 percent of students in high school reported being bullied in the year before the CDC conducted a survey on the topic.) Although Klein does not pose it directly, this question is implicit in the incomplete theory that she puts forward in the book.
Klein counts 166 school shootings between 1979 and 2009, and is able to assess the motives of 93 of them, based on press and scholarly reports. Setting aside seven incidents that were related to drugs, money, or political protests, she offers evidence that shooters were bullied—such as courtroom testimony from the classmates of Barry Loukaitis, who killed three people at his middle school in Moses Lake, Washington, including one who regularly called him "faggot." Yet Klein fails to account for why the number of shooters pales in comparison to the number of students bullied across the country. Klein hints at other factors that might have influenced shooters—for instance, that Loukaitis had been diagnosed with depression—but she does not place them fully in her narrative. (Similarly, she does seem to not know where to situate the issue of race; most school shooters have been white, but she never offers a robust explanation as to why.) She also employs alarmist statements, such as this one: "Bullying is dangerous to the target of abuse and to the perpetrator, as well as to the innocent students who may find themselves in harm's way when the target unleashes his or her wrath."
Certainly, Klein does not ignore those individuals who are bullied and never act violently—they comprise the vast majority of those bullied, and they suffer from elevated rates of, among other things, depression, isolation, and self-harm. In fact, her book is at its strongest, in the chapters entitled "Gay Bashing" and "Girl Bashing," when she details the heartbreaking plight of male students who are targeted for seeming too feminine and female students who are called "sluts" for liking certain boys or mocked because they don't wear the right clothes. Klein describes the story of James Nabozny, who in 1996 successfully brought a case against his school district for failing to prevent anti-gay bullying:
James Nobozny suffered years of relentless verbal, physical, and sexual abuse. He was called antigay epithets, urinated on, made to suffer repeated assaults and indignities, including a mock rape. Eventually he was beaten to the point of requiring surgery, and he and his family began to receive death threats. … "After the mock rape in the eighth grade," Jamie said in an interview, "I went directly to the principal's office and told her … what happened. Her response was, 'If you're going to be openly gay you have to expect this kind of thing. Boys will be boys.'"
Why didn't Klein choose Nobozny and other bullying victims who have suffered without becoming mass murderers to be the centerpieces of her book? (Eight of her ten chapters begin with anecdotes about shootings.) After all, their experiences are the ones that are more widespread and that, despite our fears of angry gunmen on campuses, constitute the most day-to-day suffering.
I do not mean to suggest that school shootings are not a pressing concern, or are not worth discussing in a book about bullying. On the contrary, they should be part of the public discussion about how to make schools safer. But The Bully Society would have been a much stronger work if shootings had been presented, perhaps in a single chapter, as extreme examples of the potential ramifications of bullying.
Klein laments that "it takes violent responses like these shootings to make headlines, but gay bashing, and the culture that produces it, are everyday facts of life in schools across the country." The same could be said of "Girl Bashing" and other modes of bullying. Yet in giving school shootings top billing in her book, Klein did not heed her own observation. The Bully Society represents a missed opportunity to give one of the most potent and often overlooked crises in American education the treatment it deserves.

In trading, losses are the inevitable part of the game. Every business has its expenses. In trading, losses are the major part of your business expenses and they must be treated that way.
First reactions of inexperienced traders to losses are anger, frustration, revenge, and such. Beware of trying to get even with the market. That is exactly how trading accounts get wiped out.
In the history of human kind there never was a person who could predict markets for a reasonably long period of time. Just accept that fact and be humble. I never even try to predict the market, I just try to make my odds of being on the right side of the market higher than 50% and preferably more. But I do realize that I will never achieve a 100% winning rate.
Learn from all your trades. At the end of every week, go over each trade you made and examine it carefully. Could you have done better? Could you make more money or lose less? Did you follow your trading system? Were you emotional when you placed those trades? And so on and so forth.
Be consistent. If you are consistent in what you do, you can easily spot things that need improvements. You don't have to invent the wheel. Know your odds and keep doing the same thing over and over again and success will come. Casinos prove it time and time again.


Observe the legal history; the development of private international law seems to go into predicament. There are some flaws we can point out in both two major jurisdictions; the US conflict of law once drew criticism for "multifarious and disorderly" by many commentators, the EU was impatient to unify legal system between all member state instead of to preserve justice cases. For example, the anti-suit injunction of English common law system was prohibited by European Court of Justice. Not only English scholars criticized for "unnecessary Europeanization" but also French commentators object to the interference of French legal system. This essay suggest that the research and development of Chinese-style private international law is the only way to escape from the predicament.

Sister Cities International Announces Winners of 2016 Annual Awards for Innovation in Youth and Education
WASHINGTON, DC –The 2016 Sister Cities International Innovation Award for Youth and Education recognizes the accomplishments of outstanding community and individual sister city programs that promote peace through mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation.
The award was given to SCI organizations in three cities in different population categories. Sister Cities of Wilmington, Inc. (SCW) of Wilmington, Deleware won for cities of under 100,000 people; Bellevue Sister Cities Association (BSCA) of Bellevue, Washington won among cities with population under 500,000 and Phoenix Sister Cities (PSC) of Phoenix, Arizona won among cities with population over 500,000.
SCW was recognized for the Wilmington Children's Chorus' (WCC) exchange visit to Fulda, Germany. The WCC is a multi-cultural children's choir founded by the City of Wilmington, under Mayor James M. Baker, as a project of Cityfest, Inc., in the Office of Cultural Affairs. In 2015, the exchange program took 47 high-school age members of the WCC's Chamber Choir to Fulda to stay with host families and visit friends from the Fulda Youth Chamber Orchestra (KdjF) after their visit to Wilmington in 2013. At the end of the trip, the WCC and KdjF performed a free concert together with music spanning the 17th through the 20th centuries from both the American and European continents, including Mozart, Engelbert Humperdinck, and Aaron Copland, as well as three show and traditional American songs.
BSCA won for its teacher exchange program with Liepaja, Latvia, which began in 1998 to provide opportunities for their educators involved with special needs students to visit a cross-section of programs available in Bellevue. In 2015, BSCA began to help provide the school with a handicapped playground available not only to the students at the school but for the surrounding population as well. The main structure and landscaping has now been completed and is enjoyed by many special needs youth in the school and surrounding area.
PSC focuses on facilitating people-to-people relationships through international engagement and cultural exchange initiatives for Phoenix's youth. In 2015, PSC hosted several youth and ambassador programs including the Youth Ambassador Exchange Program, Teach Abroad – Himeji, Japan, a college internship program, the Taipei Chinese Culture Summer Camp, the Youth Ambassador Alumni Association, the Youth Ambassador Big Buddy program, the Phoenix Sister Cities Economic Ambassador Exchange Program, the "Mini-Ambassador" exchange program, and a youth baseball exchange in Taipei, Taiwan.
SCI's Annual Awards are awarded in several categories including Best Overall, Innovation (Arts and Culture, Economic Development, Humanitarian Assistance, and Youth and Education), and Volunteer of the Year. Award winners will be honored at the Lou Wozar Diplomatic Awards Dinner on Saturday, July 16 during SCI's 60th Anniversary Celebration in Washington, DC.
SCI's 60th anniversary celebration will include an Annual Conference and Youth Leadership Summit in Washington, DC July 13-16, 2016. The celebration will bring together hundreds of the most influential global leaders in diplomacy, foreign affairs, policy, business, and innovation. Elected and municipal officials, business leaders, youth delegates, and citizen diplomats will discuss this year's theme "Peace through People," building on President Eisenhower's initial vision of creating a more peaceful world by building global relationships.

Leading By Example: The Idealis highlights expert-curated open access LIS research
As I began crafting this sixth (and final1) piece as a First Year Librarian Blogger for ACRLog, I realized I'd come full circle thematically over the course of my posts, closing with a more focused call to action inspired by my work with The Idealis, which I discuss below. Last October during Open Access Week, in my first post, I shared reflections on the state of open access publishing, noting many optimistic aspects to this evolution in scholarship, despite its perceived slow pace of development. I highlighted Peter Suber's state-of-the-union webcast in which he accurately describes a movement led by librarians, who remain open access's biggest champions and workhorses, and the continued need to expand stakeholder engagement beyond the library. Much open access advocacy work has focused on partnerships with researchers, funders, and policy-makers (see groups like SPARC, Right to Research Coalition, Force11, etc.), yet Suber's ideas for extending OA's reach included a seemingly small suggestion–to lead by example.
Enter The Idealis, a new overlay journal of high-quality, open access library and information science scholarship, intended to elevate open access publications, and encourage others to publish and self-archive their work as OA. The journal officially launched on March 15th with its first collection area, scholarly communications, and will continue collection development into other areas of librarianship (such as archives, critlib, OER, liaison librarianship, etc.).

Publishing Practice: Developing a Professional Identity
ACRLog welcomes a guest post from Chelsea Heinbach, MLIS student at the University of Denver; Cyndi Landis, MLIS student at Emporia State University, and Alison Hicks, faculty at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
How can we bridge the divide between learning about library instruction and engaging more concretely with a teaching librarian's values and responsibilities? This was the question that drove the design of a writing assignment in our recent library instruction course at the University of Denver, and that we have been grappling with since the semester ended. Designed to mimic a core part of many academic teaching librarian positions, as well as to involve students more closely with teaching librarian communities, the assignment asked students to write a 3000 word essay that was peer-reviewed by librarians in the field, and published as an Open Access book.
Drawing from the idea of publishing as pedagogy, as well as sociocultural learning theories that emphasize participation rather than imitation, students were excited to mold the assignment on the first day of class. At the same time, the prospect of writing for a broad audience at this stage of a career was very different from previous LIS program experiences. This blogpost serves to explore the experiences of two MLIS students who participated in this project, Chelsea Heinbach (University of Denver) and Cyndi Landis (Emporia State University), as well as attempting to reflect on the role and nature of instruction librarian education today.
Merging practice and theory
The MLIS degree is largely practical in nature. As academic librarians in training we talk about publishing as well as open access, conferences, and peer review, but there is often little room built in for identifying our own place in these processes. While there are opportunities to publish as a student, there are rarely chances in class to simulate the peer review process and to treat our work as serious academic contributions. The future regarding our own publishing remains abstract for the entirety of our master's degree and there are few chances to explore our professional writing goals and ideas. This assignment offered us valuable mentorship in academic writing, extensive and thoughtful suggestions for improvement, as well as an opportunity to explore our professional identity in a supportive environment.
As a graduate student, there is pressure to have something on your resume to make you stand out among the pool of job applicants. We each scramble to find that extra separator to distinguish ourselves from others or at least to fill in the blanks of which accomplishments we think we should have by now. This assignment was something we could be proud of and use to prove ourselves.
Excitement and intimidation swept over us as we began to research and select our instruction topics. What did we want to know as a future teaching librarian? What could we research to make this open access book contribution count? This assignment was the opportunity we'd been waiting for throughout our graduate school experience – a professional introduction into scholarship that was guided and supported rather than just an assignment to be completed and tucked away in our personal portfolio.
Unlike most research papers throughout our LIS programs, this assignment would be shared with professionals beyond the student-teacher relationship. Not only would library professionals assist in the peer-review process, but the open access book would later be promoted within the LIS field as an example of this unique approach. This exercise was designed to emulate what research could be like in the "real-world". Even the peer reviewers wished they had a similar opportunity when they were in school.
While we recognized this as a valuable opportunity that we were excited to engage with, we also grew nervous about the implications. With the permanence of this piece weighing heavy on each step of the writing and research process, we began to unravel the pieces of its potentially lasting effects. What topic would best fit our future career goals? Would it be something we could use to start building our curriculum vitae? Throughout the assignment, we felt the reality of this valuable opportunity sinking in, causing us to reflect hesitantly on the formation of our professional identity and our overall contributions to the field.
As we received feedback from our instructor and reviewer, the constructive comments revealed areas for improvement. Our wandering thoughts now had direction and our emphatic assertions were paired within the context of practicing librarians; we had a glimpse into our book's audience and we could refine our papers with confidence.Throughout our academic careers, we had rarely received the opportunity to improve our scholarly writing within the assignment, or even within the course. The peer-review process gave us genuine, productive feedback to revise our paper before submitting the final piece for publication.
The feedback was two-fold, receiving detailed comments from Alison and our peer-reviewer. Comments ranged from pointing out areas to improve writing clarity, to making connections to concepts that we hadn't seen before, and suggesting other sources to use for a broader perspective. As we are not yet practicing librarians, we found that some of the issues we wanted to discuss are already common knowledge in the profession. The reviewers' comments provided the insight of instruction practitioners, helping us identify what truly needed further discussion and what research conclusions would prove helpful to our professional audience.
The level of detail in the feedback given in this assignment highlighted the lack of response have routinely received throughout our academic careers. With a few exceptions, we have rarely received suggestions for improvement on our work and instead have simply received a grade. After pouring hours into research and writing, a final grade isn't as satisfying as encouragement and thoughtful recommendations for further development. Up until this point, some of our most demanding academic work stemmed from our expectations of ourselves and our future goals.
This assignment, therefore, provided a welcome break from the standard dynamic, as it gave us an opportunity to explore and assert our views in a way that felt more impactful than a simple class paper. It was encouraging to be taken seriously by a professional in the field and to have the opportunity to contribute to such a unique project.
However, after the excitement of the opportunity wore off, we realized we felt nervous about moving from passively reading the literature to owning our own viewpoints. This class is a mere ten weeks long and, as students, many of us are balancing multiple jobs, volunteer positions, job applications, committee obligations, and other classes. In addition, the academic library world can feel like an overwhelmingly polarized place where work is judged and dismissed openly and critically. While these conversations lead us to important awakenings regarding issues in the profession, we found it difficult to feel comfortable as students making assertions when we were still developing our own positions. Perhaps this was simply due to overzealous imposter syndrome, but it is why some of us ultimately focused on topics that were not overwhelmingly controversial, and decided against making an obvious political statement with our work.
In the end, this pressure to cultivate raw ideas and develop work that would be seen led to a more genuine interaction with the content than we have had in most other classes. Ultimately, it helped us develop our professional research goals in a more concrete and granular way, giving us a better understanding of publishing demands. At the same time, the intersection between student research and professional practice exposed some eye-opening issues that arise for LIS students. We are taught general theories of librarianship and given research assignments with little guidance of whether our conclusions and assertions are appropriate in the context of the challenges professionals face. To combat this block between the classroom and our professional careers, one of the most beneficial experiences we can have during library school is a mentor in our chosen area of librarianship.
We really appreciated the feedback and we encourage librarians to seek out opportunities to mentor LIS students, to share their professional experiences, and to help to bridge the divide between theory and practice. This project enlisted an enthusiastic group of librarian reviewers, who we recognize as invisible laborers behind its success. We are grateful to them for their collaborative participation and commitment to bettering LIS student work through this publishing practice. Lastly, this memorable assignment would not have been possible without Alison's insightful vision, reviewer matchmaking, and endless encouragement. When students and professionals engage in dialogue, it fuels our profession with a stronger foundation of new ideas and perspectives.
Advice and suggestions for future improvements
For anyone who is interested in building upon this assignment, we would offer the following advice:
Scaffold: The assignment built in plenty of drafting time so the peer review really helped to edit and shape the final essays. At the same time, many students found that choosing a relevant topic was tough. We suggest plenty of class discussion about potential directions, as well as interviewing a professional before starting in order to get guidance.
Workshop: Our class did not build in any in-class workshopping, but that could have made the delivery of the first draft less stressful. The process of reviewing other people's work is always helpful for writers to experience, too.
Connect: This assignment was strengthened through the matching of reviewers with paper topics about which they were knowledgeable. Although the entire process was double blind,we found that this expertise, as well as the sincerity that the reviewers brought to the assignment, added considerably to the development of the second draft.

Happy Open Access Week!
The 6th annual international Open Access Week is here! This has been another banner year for open access publishing — as reported on Science Insider (a blog at Science), over half of all scholarly papers are now available open access and free of charge no later than 24 months after they're first published. That's a milestone worth celebrating!
I'm looking forward to the events this week happening at my college and university, as well as living vicariously through the events happening elsewhere via Twitter and the blogosphere. I'm sure there's loads of great stuff going on all over; here are a couple of events and thoughts that have caught my eye.
Open Access Button
This project from a group of European students and researchers seems like a great one: channel the frustration we all feel when we hit a paywall into research and action. In their own words, here's their goal for the open access button:
This idea was a browser-based tool which tracks how often readers are denied access to academic research, where in the world they were or their profession and why they were looking for that research. The tool would aggregate this information into one place and would create a real time, worldwide, interactive picture of the problem. The integration of social media and mapping technology would allow us to make this problem visible to the world. Lastly, we want to help the person gain access to the paper they'd been denied access to in the first place. Through incentivising use and opening the barriers to knowledge, this can be really powerful.
Today, in honor of Open Access Week, they announced their beta launch date: November 18th. Sign up to be a beta tester here.
DigiNole Upload-A-Thon
Florida State University Libraries are hosting an interesting event this year — a workshop to encourage and guide faculty and researchers through the process of uploading their work to the university's institutional repository. Called the Upload-A-Thon, they're striving to have at least one faculty member from each department at the university to upload at least one article that's already been published. I really like this idea — in addition to the catchy name, it sets out a modest goal and aims to help demystify open access for those new to the concept. I'll be interested to hear how it goes.
What about book chapters?
I eavesdropped on an interesting conversation on Twitter over the weekend. Most folks think of journal articles when they think of open access publishing, but what about book chapters? Books tend to be less of a focus of OA activism, though as some of the folks I listened in on pointed out, interlibrary loan isn't always possible, so maybe books should play a bigger part in OA advocacy efforts.
Lots of publishing librarians publish their work as part of a book, myself included — can we make these chapters OA post publication as many articles are? It's a great question and one that likely has many answers depending on which publishers we're working with. I have several pieces that appear in books and have let this question go unanswered for myself for far too long, so this year for OA Week I'm going to take the time to dig out those old contracts and see what I can free.
What are you doing to celebrate Open Access Week this year? Are you attending or presenting in any workshops or programs? Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments!

James Forbat interviewed for "Cupcakes & conversation with..."
The fact that it is a new week, full of possibilities. That I am surrounded by fun, intelligent and creative people who will all help me to get the best from myself, and especially if it is sunny!
Sylvie Guillem, Marianela Nunez. They are both inspirational dancers in different ways and every time I see them dance I get tingles!
Amy Winehouse, Sylvie Guillem, William Shakespeare, Pedro Almodovar, Dawn French and Jerry Springer just to mix it up a bit!
I love working hard and dedicating myself to my work, but I also love to forget about it all, let go of it and just go out and have fun!
When I originally started I was very young and I just did it because I wanted to dance - so in a way me! Some kind of realization that I might want to do it professionally came when I was working with The Royal Ballet at age 8 as a page boy and a gargoyle in Anthony Dowell's production of Swan Lake. The magic of it all and seeing stars like Darcey Bussell performing up close definitely inspired me to carry on my dream of being a dancer.
Talkative. Motivated. Decisive. Organised. Tidy. Hard working. Opinionated.
Do something you really love as a job and never hesitate to be bold. Only you have control over what happens in your life.
Probably dancing Albrecht in Giselle. I was very excited but it was a test because it combines all the factors of being a true classical dancer. Acting, technique, pas de deux, stamina and the ability to move an audience.
There are too many to fit in here – I love to laugh and growing up with my friends in The Royal Ballet School we had many hilarious moments!
Something easy to move in which shows off the dancers body but is unique and colourful.
Making it as a classical dancer. It is a truly gruelling process even to make it to the corps de ballet of any company and so many people aren't suited even if they put everything into it.
If I were famous enough for anyone to make a film about my life, I would want to play the role myself!!!
Lots of laid back music – Amy Winehouse, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, James Morrison alongside a lot of dance/trance music which I use to motivate myself. I really like music in Spanish, especially from Latin America in particular Mercedes Sosa. And far too many ballet videos!
I can do a backflip!!!
No doubt that James is a good dancer but he is also very goodlooking!!!
Wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2010!
His picture as The Prince in The Nutcracker is amazing! Happy Holiday!
I love his selection of dinner guests and what's on his ipod! He has a beautiful face.
Thanks so much for letting me know about this great blog, I am crazy about Ballet and I just came back to do it and I am in love!!!!! The dance, the moviments, the outfits, it is a dream!
So, I will keep my eyes at this blog, thanks so much for that!
what a fascinating (and beautiful!!!) young man!!! his dinner guest list is quite interesting (of course, any dinner with jerry springer would certainly add some spice to the mix....!).
I love his piece of advice: you have control in whatever happens in your life.
And backflip? I think I can do that... let's say decades ago. Hahaha!
Another great interview and the photo was a shock due to such good looks!
Greet - thank you ! I'm sure James will be thrilled by your compliment !
yonca - thank you !
Pinecone Camp - thank you - I hope yours was too !
lori vliegen - thank you - and to you !
Leah - ha ha ! Thank you - you made me laugh ! Best wishes for 2010.

Q: What do we mean by a Free-particle solution to Dirac equation? I read this part in Peskin,QFT. And I'm confused about the terminology "free-particle solution", I don't know what does it mean.
If by free-particle it means no interaction, then the Lagrangian from which we get Dirac equation has no interaction term! Then I'll assume by free-particle solution, there also exist nonfree solution or interacting solution?
It's true that in QM, free particle solution of Schrodinger equation is plane wave, but that is wave function, here we are talking about classical field, why we still assume free solution is plane wave?

A:
here we are talking about classical field, why we still assume free solution is plane wave?

QFT means Quantum Field Theory. The simplest quantum field theory is to posit fields as the free particle  wave function, i.e. no potential,  of some quantum equation, on which creation and annihilation operators act. The fields by construction are not classical, are not measurable and are defined in conjunction with creation and annihilation operators. The method is applied more widely than in particle physics.
The standard model is expressed as a QFT. Every elementary particle in the table of particles defines a field which is mathematically written as the free particle wavefunction, i.e. no potentials, of the corresponding equation: Dirac for fermions, Klein Gordon for bosons, quantized maxwell for the photons. On these the creation and annihilation operators can define the interactions between the particles, the Feynman diagrams representing the integrals that give crossections and decays.
Quantum field theory is quantum because it depends on the basic wave functions of quantum equations and thus the postulates of quantum mechanics.

A: What can an electron interact with? Plenty of things, EM fields being one. When you write down the Dirac Lagrangian, do you include a term for this EM field? Or anything else; let's be wild and say gravity. You don't.
So, is the electron interacting with anything? No; and thus it is, by definition, free. You have written down the Lagrangian for a FREE electron-one not subject to any interactions. The corresponding hamiltonian contains no interaction terms.
As another example; consider the Klein Gordon Lagrangian. These are 'free' waves(so you have nice properties like superposition). Now, add a $\phi^4$ term. This represents a (self)interaction, and the solutions to the equations of motion coming from here will NOT be free particles.
You could now, for instance, introduce now a coupling with EM field; you end up with the QED lagrangian(you have to introduce a covariant derivative etc, but that's details). This is NOT the Dirac Lagrangian, and it's solutions are NOT free particles-they are fermions INTERACTING with photons.

Supporting Safe and Respectful Learning
By Gateway Gazette Contributor 2 years ago
School leaders and staff will now have access to more resources for the prevention of bullying, harassment and discrimination in schools.
Minister LaGrange, Sheldon Kennedy, trustees, student leaders and staff from Eastview Middle School, Red Deer.
Government is providing a grant of $300,000 per year over four years to support the Respect in School program, which educates school system employees on their responsibilities to ensure students are safe from abusive situations.
"All students deserve a positive and caring learning environment. With this grant, we are following through on our commitment to support safe schools that protect students against discrimination and bullying. I encourage all school leaders and staff to complete the Respect in School training for the benefit of our children."Adriana LaGrange, Minister of Education
The Respect in School online training, offered in English and French, will educate teachers and other school staff, bus drivers, parent volunteers and student leaders about how they can prevent bullying, harassment and discrimination in their schools.
"We are proud to stand alongside Alberta Education who, through their leadership, is making the safety and well-being of our kids their top priority. Respect in School will give school leaders the confidence to step up and step in when situations arise and help create safe and respectful learning environments for all students."Sheldon Kennedy, co-founder, Respect Group Inc.
Through its online training programs, Respect Group Inc. has certified more than 1.2 million people across Canada to recognize and prevent bullying, harassment and discrimination.
"As a district we recognized increasing concerns for mental health and wellness. As we developed our Valuing Mental Health initiative, one of the key elements for prevention and promotion was the district-wide implementation of Respect in School. Each of our staff members goes through the training to recognize and prevent bullying, abuse, harassment and discrimination. By educating our school staff on the prevention of these issues, we build a culture of respect across our school community."Nicole Buchanan, chair, Red Deer Public Schools
Albertans dealing with bullying or other issues that may be affecting their mental health can access supports 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including the Mental Health Helpline (toll-free at 1-877-303-2642), the Bullying Helpline (toll-free at 1-888-456-2323), Bullying Helpline Chat, and Kids Help Phone (1-800-668-6868).

Two world premieres, music by prominent living composers and collaborations with local artists are helping to make Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble's (PNME) 2014 summer season a must-hear happening. Celebrating its 39th year, PNME runs July 11th through August 2nd at South Side-based City Theatre Company. If you're looking for unexpected musical performances, and boundary bending soundscapes, look no further than PNME this summer.
Since being founded by composer David Stock in 1976, PNME has focused on presenting world-class performances of contemporary music, commissioning and premiering new works by living artists, disseminating and promoting new works via recording and touring and playing a leading role in creating a progressive music arts community. Blending elements of music, performance and theatre, PNME is known for presenting fully immersive concert experiences.
PNME kicks off on July 11th and 12th with The Lost Traveler, featuring solo work by Martin Bresnick, as well as Kevin Puts' Living Frescoes and Iannis Xenakis' Rebonds A & B, in performances that explore themes such as birth and rebirth, childhood and adulthood, identity, and memory. Experimenting with the human body as an instrument, The Lost Traveler also features a performance of Vinko Globokar's pioneering work, Corporel, by percussionist Ian Rosenbaum.
The season continues on July 18th and 19th with composer Ted Hearne's newly commissioned work, The Cage Variations in Concert 2. Constructed entirely from shards of music by contemporary American composers, Hearne borrows and morphs music from existing works to create 12 variations on Charles Ives' philosophical and hypnotic song, The Cage. Featuring bass-baritone Timothy Jones, the colorful and prismatic program features sampled works, along with Hearne's original music, juxtaposed with selections by Anna Clyne, Morton Feldman and Amy Beth Kiersten.
Additional highlights include a Wednesday Showcase Series on July 23rd, featuring PNME violinist Nathalie Shaw, whose promising career has taken her around the world on recital and concerto tours through the US, Europe, South America and the UK. Shaw's performance will include works by leading Pittsburgh composers David Stock and Roger Zahab (in a world premiere), as well as US premieres of music by Alain Celo and Sébastian Béranger.
Concert 3, on July 25th and 26th, will feature a world premiere by Ryan Anthony Francis, written for PNME and guitar virtuoso Mattias Jacobsson.
PNME closes its season with a fresh new take on one of the most popular programs in the organization's history, Drunken Moon. Commissioned by PNME during its 30th anniversary, Drunken Moon is a companion or prologue piece for Arnold Schoenberg's (1874 – 1951) seminal 1912 masterwork, Pierrot Lunaire.
The haunting story depicts a love-sick woman in an after-hours club, who believes that she has met the man of her dreams—only to discover that "the river of love can be a dangerous place to swim." A fully staged production, Drunken Moon is directed by PNME's artistic director Kevin Noe, and features soprano Lindsay Kesselman starring as She, and bass-baritone Timothy Jones as He. The haunting program will also unveil a commissioned piece by local visual artist Chris Craychee, which will be auctioned off after the season closes.
Since launching in 1976, PNME, which consists of seven musicians, has commissioned and premiered 200-plus works by established and emerging composers such as John Cage, Ellen Taaffe Zwilich, Michael Daugherty, David Lang, Derek Bermel, Pierre Jalbert and Kevin Puts.
Also new for PNME in 2014 is the company's 4 Ticket Flex Pack option, as well as a deeper discount for students and seniors. View a complete 2014 PNME schedule. Purchase tickets.


What are you taking it for? How long? Dosage?
Five days is short, but 2x 20 is an enormous dosage! I dunno. I'd try half that.
Your doctor obviously thinks your body has inflammation somewhere. You are taking them for a very short time, but take what your doctor tells you, don't try and fiddle around yourself with different dosages. Some people on short term steroids take 100mg a day.
I was not suggesting you take 100mg a day I was just trying to point out that 20mg is quite a low dose in the order of things!! You are doing absolutely the right thing take two a day for five days and then stop and hopefully they will have helped.

Irish identity
In culture as in settlement a separate Irish identity was most evident in New Zealand during and immediately after the major Irish migration of the 1860s and 1870s. (One aspect, however, remained distinct for many years – the culture of the Irish Catholic Church.)
From the 1860s, St Patrick's Day was celebrated with sports, horse races, dances and drink on the West Coast. In the main centres this continued until after the First World War.
After parading in the streets, schoolchildren gathered at Newtown Park in Wellington or the Domain in Auckland for gymnastics and athletics. If the figures for Irish convictions for being drunk and disorderly are accepted as evidence, there was a clear propensity for them to carry to the new land their enjoyment of the pub.
Hibernians
Hibernian (the Latin word for Irish) societies were first established in Greymouth in 1869. They were dedicated to cherishing the memory of Ireland, promoting Catholicism and providing mutual aid to members. By 1921 there were 84 branches throughout the country. But the membership was always small (only 3,499 in that year) and the society hardly represented widespread Irish interests.
More significant expressions of Irish culture came in politics. The long struggles in Ireland for land reform, home rule rather than English rule, and eventually independence were a major concern of British politics throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Many in New Zealand followed these debates and crises, and expressed their sympathies in a number of ways. Occasionally it came in the form of civil disorder. There were 'shindies' between Irish Catholics and Orangemen (a Protestant group) at Ōkārito in 1865. In Christchurch on Boxing Day 1879, 30 Irishmen attacked an Orange procession with pick-handles, and in Timaru 150 men from Thomas O'Driscoll's Hibernian Hotel surrounded Orangemen and prevented their procession.
Free speech on trial
Three times, Irish Catholic New Zealanders have been brought before the court on charges of sedition.
In 1868 John Manning and Father W. J. Larkin spent a month in jail for expressing 'Fenian' sympathies in their Hokitika newspaper.
In July 1918 Thomas Cummins and Bert Ryan were sentenced to 11 months with hard labour for a 'seditious' article, commemorating the Easter Rising, in the Green Ray.
In 1922 Bishop James Liston went on trial in Auckland for alleged sedition in his St Patrick's Day speech. Helped by the brilliant Irish nationalist lawyer P. J. O'Regan, Liston was found not guilty.
New Zealand Fenians
The most infamous disturbance occurred in Hokitika in 1868. The previous year John Manning had set up the New Zealand Celt newspaper. With Father W. J. Larkin he expressed support for a group of nationalists in Ireland known as Fenians. When news reached the West Coast that three Fenians had been hanged in Manchester, there were funeral processions in Charleston and in Hokitika, where 1,000 people broke into the cemetery and planted a wooden Celtic cross.
Soon after, the attempted assassination in Australia of Queen Victoria's son Prince Alfred, by a suspected Fenian, triggered a minor panic on the West Coast. Eight hundred special constables were sworn in, the 18th Regiment was sent south, and Larkin, Manning and five others were arrested. Both men received one month in jail and a fine of ₤20 for seditious libel.
Visiting Irish politicians
These forms of civil disorder did not last beyond 1880. Thereafter Irish migrants' sympathy for the nationalist cause was more commonly expressed through receptions and lectures for visiting Irish politicians.
One such event was the visit of John and William Redmond in 1883. This drew particular support from working-class Irish who had set up Land Leagues (later Irish National Leagues) in New Zealand.
British Prime Minister W. E. Gladstone's conversion to the support of home rule for Ireland won over New Zealand's middle-class Irish. The visit by nationalist politician John Dillon in 1889 became 'little less than a great Irish carnival'. 1 There were successful visits by other nationalists: ex-land-leaguer Michael Davitt in 1895, Joseph Dillon and John Donovan in 1906, and William Redmond again in 1911, when 1,700 attended his Wellington meeting.

I had to make a quick, mid-appointment update to bring some really great news…George no longer needs to have growth-hormone shots!
Now, this may only be temporary, we will have to come back in 4 months and double-check on things, but I'm certain that things will continue to go on the right track. Sadly, our visits with Dr. Lteif (endocrinologist), may become fewer and farther between…but that's only sad because she's such an excellent physician, and thinks pretty highly of our little man.
Up next, we see the neurologist, who will become the lead doctor in George's care. Dr. Renaud is a pretty great doctor, too.
Yesterday, when they drew his blood, I saw on the paperwork that his tests were heading to Baylor for the genetic testing. George hasn't travelled much in his almost-2 years, but his blood certainly has!
"What Do I Make? (Let's Find Out!)" by Dale Simpson. A great board book, with turning wheel, where you can match up the animal with their gift to us! Great for the little guys! Include milk from cows, honey from bees, clothes from sheep, etc. And with the cute cow-shape of the book, and great illustrations, it keeps the little ones interested in the book!

Great news! Love this little book too! Wish my girls were still young enough to enjoy it, but I do have a little great niece or nephew on the way, so maybe I will start a collection!

Q: WordPress GUID PermaLinks - should I change them? I'm moving a WordPress blog from:
www.oldsite.com/blog/
www.newsite.com
When I export the XML Blog Post file it contains URL reference to the old domain for each blog post, for example:
<guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.oldiste.com/bog/?p=1275</guid>
*** This will be wrong when imported to new site ***

Before I import the file into the new WordPress site should I change each instance of the incorrect GUID file?

A: You shouldn't do it when moving database from one production site to another new production site. This article explained the reasons very well.
From a local dev site to a production site, you should. But make sure the guid and the real permalink point to the same content. You should follow this guidelines.


Join MARCH 3rd 2-4pm Stephanie Miller to explore the myofascial meridians & learn some easy self massage techniques to release fascial adhesions in the body.
Each one of us has connective tissue known as fascia throughout our entire body.
Throughout our lives this connective tissue can become tight, inflamed and even become inflicted with scar tissue build up in areas effected by trauma.
This over time can even cause restrictions of blood flow to the surrounding muscles. We will discuss the benefits of Myofascial release and how regular massage and exercise can help with issues in the connective tissues. There are also very specific patterns in the body caused by stressors which can over time affect our posture & how we move.
This workshop will examine the anatomy of myofascial meridians & teach specific movements we can do to help prevent & correct chronic tension patterns within the body.
Stephanie Miller is both a yoga instructor & licensed massage therapist practicing here at Prana Hot Yoga & Bodywork. Stephanie turned to yoga in 2002 after a serious car accident as a way to help manage her chronic pain. Using yoga as therapeutic exercise was so effective that she became inspired to enroll at the University of Texas to study kinesiology (the study of human movement) and exercise physiology.
During that time, she became a yoga instructor and began teaching classes at the university. It was there that she earned her nickname 'that yoga chick'. After she graduated, she decided to become a massage therapist. As a therapist, she specializes in myofascial release and other various modalities to help her clients manage chronic pain.
As a yogi, Stephanie has completed advanced trainings under Sadie Nardini in core strength vinyasa, which uses cutting edge anatomy using knowledge of myofascial meridians to generate body awareness and more effectively improve alignment & stability while releasing chronic tension patterns within the body. She offers her own unique brand of movement therapy on the mat integrating these fundamentals into a therapeutic & effective practice for students of all levels to enjoy.
