Mortified. That was the only word that Nyda could plaster to how she felt just then. Men, boys, any and all persons of the opposite gender had always had one type of classification to Nyda; competition. In the land of her upbringing, even boys were well tanned, well muscled, and overall in a health and physical condition to make a bull turn green around the gills. Then again, so were most girls. Long ago, the Aielwoman had come to terms with the fact that women not wedded to a spear – or any weapon for that matter – could be lacking in corporeal endurance. This indulgent tolerance would allow her to cope being a partner to some push-over of a girl. Mainly as she knew very well that once said girl reached the shawl, she would be anything but. But not in a thousand years would she have expected this.
Not a single callus marred what she could see of his hands and there was more flubber under those Novice whites than there ever would be muscle. The skin around his face was a pale pastel. Shove the boy up against the Tower and he would have blended in with it, if not for that shock of black hair. Nyda doubted if he had seen a full day of sun in his entire life. A lion would not go wanting with this Novice as a main course. Though in truth, most Wetlanders would have coincided that he was simply 'healthily plump', that stomach was large enough to start taxing on him after a short duration of excessive activity even if he was conditioned. Not to mention Nyda had to practically bend over to see him, and she was considered short for an Aiel, a few inches over six feet.
The Aethan'Tar could have wept. Grey eyes shot to the Head Gaidin, a 'you have to be kidding me' plead in their depths, but if her mentor saw it, he gave it no heed. Nor would he. If she was paranoid enough, Nyda would have believed this was another test of will. But she was not standing that far up on her toes yet.
Her job was to protect this? Bring back the Wise-Ones, bring back Traci Sedai, Light, and bring back the dresses! It would have been easier to protect a large sack of grain. That at least she could have thrown up on her back and run with. By the way this Wetlander's lower lip simpered, he would not take too kindly to such a situation.
Giving herself a mental shake and scolding, Nyda closed the distance between the two of them, telling her that she would behave herself and be overall… courteous. After all, she did want to be here and this was a personal test that she could do that.
Probably not something either of them wanted. But it was so.


Sorry that my blog has fallen by the wayside! I kept meaning to update this as I finished out my year abroad, but somehow it just didn't happen.
In April, I embarked on a four-day trip to Stratford-upon-Avon. The supposed birthplace of the most famous English writer, the town is full of Shakespeare sites and memorabilia. Though we had plenty of time to wander around the cute town, we quickly realized that for those who didn't like Shakespeare kitsch the town was a little bare. We found a few cute shops, but most of the stores were chains that had branches in Exeter. Bummer!
We went to Stratford to see plays at the recently re-opened Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Closed for renovations for a large part of our time here, it was interesting to be in a relatively new building for all of the plays. Our seats—I must admit—were not always the best; building a theatre in the style of The Globe has its drawbacks. However, the performances more than made up for uncomfortable neck craning!
We arrived mid-afternoon with enough time to check into the hotel bed and breakfast. Because we took up nearly every room in the B&B it felt a little bit more like camp than a tourist trip. Samantha and I were lucky enough to stay in a room with a fabulous window. The Elizabethan exteriors of the hotels across the street were lovely to look at as we attempted homework. We felt a little rushed to get food so we settled on one of the first places that we saw—an Italian diner called Carluccio's. I was a bit concerned that I wouldn't be able to eat much, since I don't eat wheat, but lo and behold they had a gluten-free menu! I'm sure that I've talked about this in previous posts but it never ceases to amaze me how celiac/allergy friendly this country is. Most places that I've been have gluten free options on the menu and are very aware of what allergy sufferers require. Our meal was lovely! I had the basil pesto corn pasta, followed by an espresso &chocolate drink. I gave into my cravings for dessert as well and ordered vanilla gelato with amaretto on top. The restaurant provided the best meal most of us had eaten out in a long time!
When the check came hilarity ensued. English majors trying to split the bill never goes well, but when all eleven of us ordered three courses the task became much more difficult. I brought out my trusty iPhone calculator and between it and some great detective work we finally knew how much each of us owed. After our meal we headed to the first of the weekend's four Shakespeare plays: Romeo and Juliet. For such a clichéd love story, this production took a very cynical take emphasizing the age of the lovers and the physical passion they felt for one another. This created a more sexually charged atmosphere but also took away from the "timeless love" aspect of the play—not that it was a bad thing. The main actors were mediocre but their supporting cast was exquisite! Mercutio was more bawdy than I'd ever seen Shakespeare, but dressed like a rock star he was compelling. Juliet's nurse seemed less world-weary and far more knowing, helping Juliet rather than doing her bidding. Overall the performance was good!
Trying to avoid the weekend crowds we visited the Shakespeare sites on Friday. Because I'd been to Stratford on my Paris/London trip with my mom, I decided to just visit his birthplace and grave and save a little money.
After wandering in search of the tourist office for upwards of twenty minutes, my friends and I found Shakespeare's birthplace instead. We found ourselves very frustrated throughout the tour by all of the supposedly concrete evidence about Shakespeare. Having grown up in a time when the writing of Shakespeare was still contested we found it odd that there was no mention of the controversy. The whole experience felt very fake and commercialized, which of course it was, but I was appalled at the lack of reality in that place.
While in the gift shop one of my friend's was injured when an employee dropped a box on her foot! Luckily the damage wasn't too severe and we quickly set off for Shakespeare's grave. The grave of Shakespeare isn't what I had expected. He's housed in a huge chapel with stained-glass windows, high ceilings and a pound for admission. I shouldn't have been surprised after the Disneyfication of his birthplace, but I couldn't believe that they had created a display to the baptismal font where Shakespeare "may have been baptized". Such lunacy!
After visiting the requisite sites we wandered around town until our second play of the weekend. Before this trip I had never seen or read Antony and Cleopatra so it was an interesting experience. The play seemed to be set in the modern Middle East, bringing a whole new level of understanding to the text. The actress who played Cleopatra was fantastic! She was very believable as a manipulative seductress while still being a joy to watch.
On Saturday morning we attended a performance of The Tempest that was geared toward children. The songs and costumes were a welcome change from the adult Shakespeare plays that we'd seen the previous nights. There were even puppets involved. A puppet Caliban was a little much to get used to, especially after a recent viewing of Julie Taymor's movie.
The afternoon was gorgeous so we enjoyed the day sitting down by the river, drinking tea outside and visiting the local butterfly farm! The butterfly farm has species from all over the world contained in a relatively small greenhouse. The butterflies seemed particularly attracted to my hair which made it hard to take pictures with them. Overall it was lovely to wander among the beautiful insects and attempt pictures for an hour or so.
All of the boats picture above were named after female characters in Shakespeare's plays.
After frolicking outdoors we were ready for our last play of the weekend King Lear. The same cast who performed Antony and Cleopatra performed Lear making for a strange evening of who's who! Lear is one of my least favorite of the plays so I was unenthused to see it performed. The play was interesting enough when taught by my favorite professor (Perry Lentz) but on stage it was a bore chore to watch.
Because we had time on the way back to Exeter, the bus took a detour to Tintern Abbey. Did I mention that's in Wales? It's easy to forget how close together things are over here. We didn't go more than a few kilometers out of our way to visit the gorgeous ruins.
We had a beautiful day to wander around and it was nice to take a brain break after such a scholarly few days.

Rev. Sharpton Exhorts Cleveland Crowd to Fight Ohio Voter ID Laws
The crowd squeezed into Greater Abyssinia Baptist Church in Cleveland last night to eagerly receive their marching orders from some of the most powerful and influential leaders in the land, led by Rev. Al Sharpton. The task at hand? To fight for their voting rights as their own state of Ohio, in addition to many others around the country, attempts to impose new voting restrictions that experts say will disproportionately impact African Americans and other voters of color.
Ohio is one of the dozen states that will now require voters to show government-issued picture IDs in order to cast a ballot. The state also eliminated early voting for the last three days before the election—which particularly hurts voting campaigns in the black church because many pastors in 2008 conducted large-scale marches down to the polls at the end of church services on the Sunday before election day. According to Ohio officials, 56 percent of African Americans in Ohio voted early in 2008.
At least 15 states have passed laws that could make voting more difficult for blacks and up to 38 states are weighing legislation that would require people to show government-approved photo identification or provide proof of citizenship before registering or casting ballots. New York University's Brennan Center for Justice released a study last year that said the new laws "may sharply tilt the political terrain for the 2012 election" by restricting voting access for up to 5 million people, mostly people of color, the poor and the elderly.
Rev. Sharpton and his National Action Network are traversing the country over the next two months, hitting at least 25 cities in the states where voting laws have changed since 2008. Yesterday their target was Cleveland, where they chose Greater Abyssinia Baptist Church to conduct workshops with volunteers, instructing them on how to make sure Ohio residents get valid IDs that will enable them to vote. Sharpton said it is part of his Network's two-pronged strategy—fighting the imposition of the laws on a national and statewide level, and on a more local and grassroots level ensuring that as many people as possible get the IDs they now need. The Network in recent weeks has already hit the ground in Florida (Tampa, Miami and Orlando), Georgia (Atlanta and Augusta) and Ohio. Sharpton said they will continue to travel to the cities where voters are imperiled by the new laws—particularly in the battleground states for the November election, such as Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida.
Illustrating the seriousness of the issue, Sharpton was joined at Greater Abyssinia yesterday by some of the top political and religious leaders in the state of Ohio, including Senator Sherrod Brown, Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, civil rights icon Rev. Otis Moss Jr., Ohio State Senator Nina Turner and Rev. Emmitt Theophilus Caviness, who has pastored Greater Abyssinia for 51 years.
Rev. Sharpton, speaking at a luncheon for the leaders earlier in the day, said it was a contradiction for the nation to erect a national monument in Washington, D.C., honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the same time as leaders in the Republican Party are working to take away the same voting rights that King ultimately gave his life to secure.
"Don't get caught on Memory Lane talking about what Dr. King and them did in Selma," Sharpton cautioned the room full of leaders. "You got your day right now. We have a real threat to the social order established in the Civil Rights Movement. Fifty-six percent of blacks here voted early in 2008. There's a reason they want to cut that off."
Sharpton said the Republican claims that they are trying to eliminate fraud are bogus and transparent.
"If they were so afraid of fraud, why didn't they ask for voter IDs during the Republican primary?" he said. "We're not that stupid—they're targeting us, they're not targeting fraud."
For many senior citizens, finding transportation to get to government offices and paying the $20 or $25 it would cost to get a valid ID is prohibitive, particularly in rural areas where there is no public transportation and government offices may be many towns away.
"That's why I say this election isn't about Obama, it's about your momma," he said.
Sharpton left the church to do his nationally syndicated radio show, which reaches 40 markets across the country, and then his one-hour show on MSNBC, "Politics Nation." He has been using both forums to incessantly push the issue of the voter ID laws and the millions who may be disenfranchised.
But Sharpton was back at Greater Abyssinia later in the evening for a public rally, where an overflow crowd heard from a succession of powerful speakers who put the issue in stark and dramatic historical terms.
Rev. Moss listed some of the bloody and deadly incidents that occurred during the Civil Rights Movement, including the Selma march, the deaths of Emmett Till and Dr. Martin Luther King and the four little girls killed in the Birmingham church bombing.
"All of this was to bring us the right to vote," said Moss, the retired pastor of Cleveland's Olivet Institutional Baptist Church who was a trusted partner of Dr. King's during the movement. "When I look at what is happening in our state of Ohio, I can hear the children asking, 'Momma, is that Selma?' I wish I could say, 'No.' But we have to say it's slavery by another name. It's Jim Crow in new garments."
State Sen. Turner said that the "foolishness" going on in Columbus, the state capital, makes her feel like Jim Crow has made a return in her lifetime.
"Jim Crow has packed his bags, left the South, and moved North," she said in a fiery speech from the church pulpit.
But the highlight of the evening, the person the crowd of 1,200 was waiting with palpable anticipation to hear, was Sharpton.
"We're still in the Civil Rights Movement," Sharpton reminded the crowd.
But he told the audience not to be deterred by Republican efforts to disenfranchise them.
"They need to talk to us with respect," he thundered from the pulpit as the crowd jumped to its feet. "They need to know, I'm not scared of you. My daddy beat your daddy, and I can beat you too."

Metals Creek and Golden Dory Announce High Grade Iron Results From Recent Sampling at the Gabbro Lake Project in Western Labrador
Iron Values Up to 75.38% Fe2O3 From Labrador Trough Iron Formation
July 21, 2011 09:00 ET | Source: Metals Creek Resources Corp.
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 21, 2011) - Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MEK) and Golden Dory Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:GDR) are pleased to announce assay results from its recently completed sampling program on the Gabbro Lake project located 160 km northeast of Labrador City. The project consists of 295 claim units (21 square kilometers) and was initially acquired to cover the most eastern extent of the prolific Labrador Trough iron formation which hosts all of Canada's present iron ore production in western Labrador and northeastern Quebec. The Gabbro claims are 35 km north of the Trans Labrador Highway and 50 km east of the Labrador-Quebec railway.
The project is a 50/50 joint venture between Metals Creek and Golden Dory with Metals Creek as the operator. The claims were acquired by both companies in 2007 and airborne geophysics (magnetic, EM and radiometrics) was completed in 2008. Within the Gabbro property, the magnetic data defines the Knob Lake iron formation as a structurally folded and faulted iron formation and shows a number of areas that may be thickened by the structural complexity. The prospecting/sampling program was carried out in June and targeted the magnetic iron formations. Highlights from this sampling include:
A total of 34 grab samples were taken from various iron formation targets which were outlined as discrete magnetic highs on the airborne geophysics survey. Results from grab samples of both outcrop and angular float ranged from 11.42% Fe2O3 to 75.38% Fe2O3 with 79% of the samples assaying greater than 25% Fe2O3 and 62% of the samples over 40% Fe2O3. The samples represented massive to semi-massive medium grained magnetite and banded cherty magnetite iron formation. There has been no known previous work carried out on these iron formation prospects.
Future work will include petrographic work on the higher grade iron samples and generation of a 3-D model using the airborne magnetic data to get a better understanding of the iron formation dimensions. Follow-up field work is recommended and would include additional prospecting/sampling, ground geophysics and diamond drilling.
The surface grab samples described in this news release are selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades on the property. The samples were delivered to Actlabs sample prep facility in Goose Bay, NL where representative pulps were prepared and sent to Actlabs in Ancaster, Ontario. The iron formation samples were analyzed for Fe2O3 and the other major oxides by XRF Fusion.
Michael MacIsaac, P. Geo, VP Exploration for Metals Creek and a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101, is responsible for this release, and supervised the preparation of the information forming the basis for this release.

Q: Use a control in MainWindow from a nested page WPF VB.NET I have a program in visual basic .net and WPF that uses a series of pages displayed in a Frame control on my main Window, pages are navigated from controls in the main Window outside of the frame and I have all that working ok.
I also have a MediaElement control on that main Window and I need to be able to change the source property of this control from the user clicking on elements in the pages. Every time I have tried to do this so far i have run into an error.
Right now I have a Public Shared function within main Window that is called from the control in the page, the code on the control passes on the URL to be loaded into the source property to the function, then the function is supposed to pass the url into the source property and tell the MediaElement to play.
The error I am getting when trying to achieve this is:

Cannot refer to an instance member of a class from within a shared
  method or shared member initializer without an explicit instance of
  the class.

Please help, how could I achive this?

A: Are you getting an instance of the main window or the media element inside of your shared function?  If not, this is you problem.
You might stick the media element into a shared variable when the main window is loaded or you can access your main window using the rootvisual of your application.current.app.rootvisual.
If your issue is something else, please post the code in your shared function that causes the error.

A: Thank you very much Steve for your answer, however I found how to do what I need on another post after idly trying some different search terms today.
Someone known as Jean on another post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/16781963/2668533 suggested something that worked for me, by using application.current.windows:
Dim parent As MainWindow = Application.Current.Windows(0)
parent.player.Source = New Uri(url)

Apologies for seeming such a novice but WPF is completely new to me and I have never encounterd a need for anything similer using WindowsForms.

What's the difference between Koolaburra by UGG and UGG? In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the electron configuration is the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule (or other physical structure) in atomic or molecular orbitals. energy sublevel - a smaller part within a primary energy level. We just wrote out the electron configuration for lead. Under the orbital approximation, we let each electron occupy an orbital, which can be solved by a single wavefunction. We do this with something called electron configurations.They are effectively a map of the electrons for a given atom. Which element has the ground state electron configuration Xe 6s25f4? The structure of the Periodic table of elements is partly based on electron configuration. answer choices . electronegativity - the ability of an atom to attract additional electrons. The -1 charge means that F gained one electron. Electrons always fill orbitals of lower energy first. What is an atom's electron configuration? We look at the four quantum numbers for a given electron and then assign that electron to a specific orbital below. F has no charge which means that no electrons are removed or added in the atom. Electron configurations of the 3d transition metals. Step-1: To do electron configuration of m agnesium element, we have to know the atomic number of the magnesium .The atomic number of magnesium element is 12.So magnesium has 12 electrons and 12 protons. 4 and 5.

An electron configuration can quickly and simply tell a reader how many electron orbitals an atom has as well as the number of electrons populating each of its orbitals. The electrons in an atom fill up its atomic orbitals according to the Aufbau Principle; \"Aufbau,\" in German, means \"building up.\" The Aufbau Principle, which incorporates the Pauli Exclusion Principle and Hund's Rule prescribes a few simple rules to determine the order in which electrons fill atomic orbitals: 1. What is the noble gas notation for fluorine? Electron Configuration The first example of overlapping energy levels found in building up the electron configuration involves the principal energy levels _____. Post by Chem_Mod » Thu Aug 25, 2011 … But since F gained one electron: F⁻¹ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ (Answer) Hope this helps!

The Story about How I Met my Sex Master
I always knew that I was different to other girls. While they were settling down and starting families, I could never seem to keep a relationship going. Something was missing, and I couldn't work out what it was. When the sex was good, I was always left with a feeling of emptiness. I wanted more than ordinary sexual relationships could give me, which is why I signed up for sex chat with online encounters websites.
It was an impulsive decision, but it paid off. For a while I'd been hearing about these sites. You'd hear rumours from girls in the area about group sex and all sorts of kinky activities, but I struggled to muster the courage to sign up. Eventually, I cracked. My last boyfriend was a bust. He was too submissive and nice. He hardly ever put a foot wrong, trying desperately to please me. The trouble was that the harder he tried to make me happy, the less satisfying our sex became. He was boring me, and I needed to escape, which is where sex chat came in. I signed up and created a profile that I thought was pretty adventurous, but it turned out I was soon altering it to fit in with my new contacts. Entering the chat rooms was a revelation to me. It was like suddenly becoming fluent in a completely new language, or having your sense of taste restored after many years. This was the community of people I wanted to know. They were free spirited, friendly and – most importantly of all – they were absolutely desperate to hook up.
My Adventures in Sex Chat Begin
I explored every aspect of my sexual self. In no time, I was fucking strangers on one night stands, locking them up in hand-cuffs, donning nurses uniforms and, once or twice, attending gangbang sessions with local guys. I thought that it was the most liberating experience of my life, but there was still something missing. Thankfully, I kept on searching on the sex chat rooms for someone to explain what it was. One day, I had a message from a guy called Claude. That's what he called himself, anyway. He was older than me, handsome and experienced. His messages were clear, authoritative and instantly arousing. This was someone who knew what they wanted and, after a few messages it was clear that he wanted me. Maybe he could sense that I craved submission, but from the moment we connected on the sex chat boards, I was his slave for life. Before that, submission had been something that I despised. I hated my boyfriends when they begged me to stay with them. I hated their niceness, their sympathy, their desperation. But now, when Claude started to chat with me, I began to understand why so many people become obsessed with the master-slave relationship. "You'll come over to my place tonight," he commanded, after a few evenings of sex chat. "Bring nothing. I have what we need. Just empty your mind and be ready to serve." Unthinkingly, I obeyed. This was new territory, and I wondered what Claude had in mind for us. My fantasies started to run wild, but reality was even wilder than my imagination.
My Master Takes Control, Forever
Claude had a normal suburban home, and he was just like his profile pictures. The strange thing was, that instead of greeting me like on the sex chat boards, he just ushered me into his home and pointed to the stairs to the basement. I half thought that he would push me downwards. I couldn't say anything, I was so excited. The basement door opened easily, revealing what looked like a fully appointed torture chamber. But Claude wasn't into torture. I knew enough about bondage to know that the end result of a session with an expert master was pleasure, not pain. You just had to endure some discomfort before you reached paradise, or so I thought. When Claude came downstairs, he was dressed in a kind of monk's robe, with black leather boots underneath and a whip in his hand. He commanded me to undress, and I had to obey. Then, he threw me a mass of leather, which turned out to be a figure hugging corset. There were reinforced hoops around the side, which Claude attached to a set of solid manacles. He instructed me to get onto the bondage table, and laid me out flat. As he stroked my skin, I quivered with the anticipation of pleasure, but Claude snapped at me, "Stop that. No pleasure until I say so!" It didn't stop me imagining. I was ready for anything.
Thanks to Sex Chat Boards, I'm a Slave for Life - and I Love it
Half an hour later, I was his devoted slave. Claude started by gently whipping my back, then he became harder, angrier, but never too hard. I felt pain, but not enough – it was a good pain, a pain that I needed. I started to moan as he struck me. Then, mounting the table expertly, he was inside me. As he entered me, he fitted a ball gag around my mouth so that I could not moan or scream with the pleasure I felt. It was incredible. He fucked me for 15 minutes, pouring his dominance into my body, making me weak with desire to obey. This was something else. Over the next few days, we communicated by sex chat. Claude never explained our arrangement, but we weren't lovers. We had a kind of bondage fuck buddy relationship. When we talked in the sex chat boards, I would tell him about my casual encounters, what had gone well, and what had gone wrong. Every time, Claude would persuade me that I had transgressed some rule of sex. I had to be punished, brutally, completely. Even if I was busy that night, I would drop everything and obey him. There was no choice, and there still isn't. I can't explain this to my lovers, but Claude is still my master. The touch of his whip and the sensation of being strapped in by him arouse me in ways that normal men can't. When I'm bad, he finds out. After every fucking session, I leave his home renewed and feeling no guilt. He's my master, and I'm his slave. It's as simple as that – and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Tiffany Smith named a Newman Civic Fellow
Tiffany Smith '18 is recognized as a Newman Civic Fellow by BGSU President Rodney Rogers and Executive Director of Ohio Campus Compact Richard Kinsley.
By Bob Cunningham
For Tiffany Smith '18, Bowling Green State University's dietetics program was the perfect major. It combined her two passions: nutrition and serving the community.
It also led to Smith becoming a Civic Action Leader for the Center for Community and Civic Engagement (CCCE).
She sought out a role as a Civic Action Leader to help grow BGSU campuses' commitment to food insecurity. Smith's commitment included coordinating a steering committee, helping lead a 10-week garden-based nutrition education program for low-resourced families, raising funds to bring a mobile food pantry regularly to campus, and building coalitions with food pantries and community partners to connect the needs and talents of students and community members.
"My undergraduate research related to critical issues in this area, and I am committed to becoming a professional and an activist who will be an advocate and change agent both with the people I serve, and the systems we navigate to create communities that allow everyone to thrive and access healthy, nutritious food," she said.
For her hard work and dedication to making her community a better place, she recently was named Newman Civic Fellow by Campus Compact. Smith is among 13 students who make up the Ohio cohort of Newman Civic Fellows. The one-year fellowship honors the late Frank Newman, one of Campus Compact's founders and a tireless advocate for civic engagement in higher education. Through the fellowship, Campus Compact provides learning opportunities focused on the skills the fellows need in order to serve as effective agents of change in addressing public problems and building equitable communities.
"Tiffany Smith is a committed educator and activist dedicated to building communities where all people have sustainable access to healthy and nutritious food," BGSU President Rodney Rogers said. "Over the last two years, she has worked on a variety of projects within her academic area of dietetics and health promotion and then as the coordinator of our campus food insecurity/hunger alliance. She has brought together campus and community members and organizations to link resources, expertise, and awareness to make a local impact on food access.
"Tiffany has combined community-based assessment and research with direct feeding programs through mobile food pantries to stimulate creative thinking about how our community can work together to end hunger. Her ability to mobilize and connect diverse constituent groups has resulted in the emergence of innovative ideas about how we can impact food access locally, and has created momentum for people to get engaged."
Smith's involvement in taking action to end hunger began with volunteering for the food pantry and Meals on Wheels program in her hometown of Vermillion, Ohio. Once she took her first nutrition class at BGSU Firelands, everything started to click for her. She soon switched from her original major of nursing to dietetics and moved to the BGSU campus.
"At BGSU, I have focused my volunteering, internships and projects on food insecurity and hunger," she said. "Linking my coursework and research to grass roots initiatives has deepened my understanding of systems that shape access to food as key factors in the social determinants of health."
In the fall, Smith will begin working toward her Master's of Science in food and nutrition at the University, coupled with her dietetics internship. Jill Bunge, the executive director of Food for Thought Toledo, will be her mentor.
"I think the experience and opportunities I'm getting now at BGSU and as a Newman Civic Fellow are allowing me to foresee my future of how I can help with the important issue of food insecurity," Smith said. "What I've learned at BGSU, I can take out into the community so that I can be a productive alumna and do the things that are going to make the public a little better."

Another UMBC Underdog Has Knocked Off The Top-Ranked Team In Its Sport

umbc retrievers
Those frisky University of Maryland, Baltimore County Retrievers have done it again: just three weeks after their men's basketball team became the first 16th seed to ever knock off a top seed in the NCAA tournament, their men's lacrosse team dealt a wildly improbable upset loss to Albany, the top-ranked men's team in the nation for six consecutive weeks:
UMBC's basketball team finished its season winning 14 of 17 games, and all of its last five, prior to their big upset of Virginia. What I'm saying is, those Retrievers were pretty good, even if only by the standards of a 16-seed. These lacrosse Retrievers can say no such thing for themselves—they entered the Friday game 2-7 on the season, and on a four-game losing streak. Per the NCAA:
But UMBC (3-7, 1-2 America East), which snapped a four-game slide scored a season-high 11 goals and freshman netminder Tommy Lingner (Fort Salonga, N.Y.) backstopped a stout defense which held the Great Danes to four goals below their previous season-low.
Lingner made a season-high 16 saves, including seven in the fourth quarter.
"[Albany] is a tremendous team, they have a great coaching staff and great players," said head coach Ryan Moran. "To be able to go in there and execute our game plan, play hard and do the things we needed to do to win, I'm just really proud of this program and proud of the players in that locker room."
The victory was the program's second over a No. 1-ranked team. The 1998 squad defeated No. 1 Maryland, 12-8, in the regular season finale and was propelled into its first-ever NCAA Division I Tournament.
Beware, all top-ranked teams in all 17 of UMBC's varsity sports. The Retrievers are out there, lurking, ready to strike.

Postmedia Network Selects RANK Software To Bolster Security Protection Against Real-Time Cyber Attacks
October 16, 2018 08:00 ET | Source: RANK Software RANK Software
RANK Goes Beyond SIEM Capabilities to Protect Postmedia Network From Unknown Attacks and Zero Day Events
TORONTO, Oct. 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RANK Software today announced that Postmedia Network Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Postmedia Network Canada Corp. (TSX:PNC.A, PNC.B), selected RANK Software's Virtual Advisor to Security Analysts (VASA). Under this multi-year agreement, Postmedia will use the AI-based threat detection platform to provide real-time threat hunting capabilities throughout its worldwide network of 160 brands across multiple print, online and mobile platforms.
Postmedia currently depends on Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions that collect and analyzes information on its networks, devices and users to identify security threats. While SIEMs are necessary, and investments in them should be protected, leading businesses like Postmedia realize SIEMs are no longer sufficient given the growth in the complexity, scale, and persistence of today's threats. These include zero day events, like the DNC hack and attack on Sony, as well as threats from internal attacks such as those originating from spear phishing.
"With VASA, Postmedia will be able to stay ahead of attacks, moving from a reactive to proactive security posture, protecting their existing IT investments and providing additional protection against zero day events and other internal security threats" said Rick Costanzo, CEO, RANK Software.
VASA helps identify and prevent security threats in real-time by ingesting data from network sources and identifying anomalies for security analysts to review. VASA addresses the challenges of identifying internal and unknown threats commonly missed today by perimeter defense systems through:
Active Learning. RANK Software helps reduce the false positives generated by most AI tools by recoding analyst feedback and allowing them to apply an action to similar alerts. This makes the VASA platform smarter over time allowing security analysts to become more efficient.
Enterprise Scale. RANK Software ingests data from over 40 sources out of the box including System Network Traffic and End Point log files. It is capable of handling more than 1 billion events a day at 10+ gigabits per second
Contextualization. RANK Software builds on the results of AI, machine learning, and behavioral analytics by making the data more consumable and understanding risk thresholds based on context. This helps assemble and interpret the signals needed to hunt and assess threats faster and with high precision.
Flexible Architecture. On the cloud or on-premise, RANK Software provides unparalleled context and visibility into potential breaches.
"Companies around the world tell us that they worry about the inefficiencies of sifting through tens of millions of security events each year, wasting time, money, and increasing the chance that a credible threat will slip through the cracks," continued Costanzo. "With RANK Software, the threat hunters and security analysts at Postmedia will have a 360-degree view of their enterprise security through a single dashboard, helping to prevent damaging intrusions."
About RANK Software
RANK Software is a leader in security intelligence and analytics. The company's first product, VASA, is an AI-based threat detection platform that helps enterprises identify and analyze cybersecurity threats in real time, allowing them to take a proactive security posture in the rapidly changing cyber threat landscape.

District Director of Health Leaving Position at Northern Kentucky Health Department
Bulldog Report
FLORENCE, KY. — Dr. Lynne Saddler has announced her plan to step down from her position as leader of the Northern Kentucky Independent District Health Department, effective December 31, 2021.
"I am honored to have been in the service of public health here in Northern Kentucky for the past decade," Dr. Saddler said. "It has been a pleasure leading such talented and dedicated public health professionals and I appreciate the many community partnerships that have helped move the mission of the health department forward during this time."
Dr. Saddler
Making this announcement now gives the District Board of Health time to conduct a thorough search for a replacement and help ensure a smooth transition.
Dr. Saddler, who has been with NKY Health since September 2010, said she is grateful for the many agency successes to make Northern Kentucky a healthier place.
"This is a good time for the agency to transition to new leadership – NKY is in a much better point in the pandemic now, as COVID-19 vaccinations continue to increase, and the agency can start planning for the future with new leadership and fresh perspectives."
