Back in my favourite local stamping ground. I don't do a lot of bushwalking in the summer because of the bush fire risk, but this summer has been a little less dry than usual and I had a wee sliver of time between jobs to rush off to the mountains for peace and recovery. This gave me the chance to be out in the intense light and heat of the Australian summer and I've made a few sketches that try to share some of the shimmering and simmering. Not there yet, but they're all part of a journey. And the journey is the destination.
What do you mean by "seedy"…..
Hi Laurel. Glad you like the work! That might have been me. It's a reasonable description and a good word, although it does seem to have a "seedy" side. I first came across the word in a book called Wanderlust by Rebecca Solnit. A great celebration of walking.
I read somewhere that some flaneurs (who were mostly men back then) simply followed a woman they thought was attractive and when she went into a shop or something, they'd wander on and follow another one. Seedy I guess means "disreputable", "low life"… or something like that.

Home News Bryant Jennings vs. Mike Perez & Daniel Geale vs. Matthew Macklin set...
Bryant Jennings vs. Mike Perez & Daniel Geale vs. Matthew Macklin set for May 24 on HBO
Credit: Rob Epstein - Gary Shaw Productions
Undefeated heavyweights Bryant "By By" Jennings of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Mike "The Rebel" Perez, fighting out of Cork, Ireland will clash in a title Eliminator on Saturday, May 24, at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas and televised live on HBO Boxing After Dark beginning at 10:00 p.m. ET.
The winner of the 12-round bout will become the mandatory challenger for the WBC Title, which was vacated by longtime champion Vitali Klitschko earlier this year. Jennings and Perez are currently ranked #4 and #5, respectively by the sanctioning body.
Opening the telecast is a 10-round middleweight battle between two-time former world champion Daniel "The Real Deal" Geale and perennial contender Matthew "Mack The Knife" Macklin.
"The world has been desperately seeking a heavyweight to take over the division and I believe that person is Me," said Jennings. "By defeating Mike Perez, I will position myself as the mandatory position in the WBC. My promoter Gary Shaw ensures me that if I win this fight; I'll be looking at a potential world title bout soon. My main focus is winning this fight against Perez and I'm doing everything in the gym to make that a reality. I'll be ready to go come May 24th.
"My dream has always been to fight for the heavyweight championship," said Perez. " This has been my dream since I first started boxing and I have sacrificed a lot to get this opportunity. Jennings and I have been on crash course for a while and now with so much at risk I'm sure it will bring out the best in both of us. However, as good as Jennings is I will be victorious."
"Mike Perez is a good fighter with an undefeated record and he is dangerous for any opponent," said Gary Shaw. "But I feel my fighter Bryant Jennings has the athletic ability, the speed and movement to defeat him and is the all around better fighter. This is the type of fight the fans deserve, two undefeated guys putting it all on the line to get a world title shot, that's what boxing is all about."
Said Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions, "It is rare to see two undefeated heavyweights once again risk their record in a fight like this featured on HBO. However there was no hesitation from either side when the WBC ordered this eliminator because both fighters want to fight for the WBC Heavyweight Championship of the World."
"We feel that Mike is among the best heavyweights in the world and expect him to show that on May 24th against Bryant Jennings."
"The WBC is proud to sanction the fight between Perez vs. Jennings as a final elimination fight as part of the WBC tournament in the Heavyweight division," stated Mauricio Sulaiman of the World Boxing Council.
"Vitali Klitschko was honored with the Emeritus Champion distinction after he decided to search his dream of becoming President of his country Ukraine and is being regarded as a hero by many."
"The WBC ordered a tournament between all top rated fighters to fight and Perez vs. Jennings will prove to be a formidable match to find the second mandatory contender of the WBC Heavyweight division. "
The 29-year-old Jennings, 18-0-0 (10KO's) is coming off his career best victory, a sensational, HBO televised tenth round knockout of Poland's Artur Szpilka on JANUARY 25 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Dominating the action from the outset, Jennings dropped the crafty southpaw in the sixth before finishing him off in the final round.
A highly successful amateur in his native Cuba, the 29-year-old Perez has compiled a record of 20-0-1 (12KO's), since moving to Ireland and turning professional in 2008.
Perez has made two previous appearances on HBO, on NOVEMBER 2, against Magomed Abdusalamov from Madison Square Garden in New York City and more recently facing Carlos Takam on JANUARY 18 from the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada.
Hailing from New South Wales, Australia and sporting a record of 30-2-0 (16KO's), the 32-year-old Geale previously held the WBA and IBF middleweight titles. Most recently Geale stopped fellow countryman Garth Wood in the sixth round on FEBRUARY 19 in New South Wales, Australia.
Former world title challenger Macklin of Birmingham, England has had an illustrious 12-year career having compiled a record of 30-5-0 (20KO's).
Despite suffering a third round stoppage at the hands of middleweight world champion Gennady Golovkin on JUNE 29, 2013, Macklin stormed back into the world rankings with a dominant ten round unanimous decision over then undefeated Lamar Russ on DECEMBER 7 in Atlantic City, Jersey. Both of these bouts were telecast on HBO.
"I can't wait to make my return on HBO and fight Mathew Macklin," said Geale. "I'm keen to prove I am still one of the best middleweights in the world. Macklin is a very tough opponent who likes to go to war, as do I, our clash of styles could make a fight that steals the show. I will confirm my status as one of the top fighters in the division with a victory. When I win, I still want to fight Golovkin, if he comes back to 160, or the winner of Sturm vs. Solomon."
Said Macklin, "I'm really excited about the fight with Daniel Geale. He's a good fighter, a former world champion, and he throws a lot of punches like me so I'm expecting it to be a tough, action-packed fight. After the Golovkin fight, the win over Russ got me back on track and a much-needed 10 rounds of work. Winning on May 24th against Geale will throw me back into the world title mix, so in many ways this is almost a world title eliminator. It's a great fight between two of the best and most exciting middleweights in the world."
"Most people are saying that this is a 50/50 fight. I don't know Geale personally but he seems like a good guy and I respect him as a fighter for what he has achieved and accomplished in his career. That being said though, I always believed he was tailor made for me and there only going to be one winner on May 24th and that is me."

He was the president of a major aboriginal financial consortium which awarded over 600 million dollars in construction contracts. Me Murdoch was responsible for establishing the Niskamoon Corporation, which organizes concrete development activities in Northern Quebec and plays an important role in environmental monitoring programs for hydroelectric projects.
He also contributed to successful conclusion of a collaboration agreement between the Cree Nation of Wemindji, the Cree Nation Government and the mining company Goldcorp, following negotiations concerning the development of the Eleonore project in Wemindji.
Me Murdoch works to promote conciliation among different groups. He founded a partnership between the Cree and the Ngöbé-Buglé people of Panama through a solar energy project.
He collaborated with the World Bank to improve its internal regulations regarding Aboriginal peoples. He also engaged in discussions with the Inter-American Development Bank. Finally, Me Murdoch recently participated in improving a community development program in the context of a large-scale oil project in the Sakhalin Islands in Russia.
In the summer of 2007, Me Murdoch taught the course "Aboriginal Law on Cree Territory" for the Civil Law Section of the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Law. This summer course focused on the Cree Nation's internal laws, how these modern government laws manifest themselves and how relationships are developed with respect to them.
Outside of his law practice, John Paul Murdoch is a professional artist, known for his large portraits and murals. His most recent works of art are on display in the conference room of his Montreal office, as well as in the Aboriginal Peoples Committee Room of the Senate of Canada in Ottawa.


She gingerly lowered her racket, leaned against the fence and took a sip of water.
Caged in at Raffles Institution's (RI) courts yesterday for an adidas clinic, Simona Halep was surrounded by tennis hopefuls and a media horde of cameramen, photographers and journalists.
But for what seemed like an eternity, she stood alone.
This was the world No. 3, a woman who has been described by fellow professionals as "dangerous" and by observers as "unclassifiable", but yesterday, almost all eyes were pinned on Ana Ivanovic, while others were fussing over Caroline Wozniacki.
The trio took time off from their preparations for the BNP Paribas WTA Finals presented by SC Global in Singapore (Monday to Oct 25) to meet young players and, despite being the highest-ranked player (Ivanovic is eighth, while Wozniacki is ninth), it was evident that Halep was not the main attraction.
Where the statuesque Ivanovic glided through the gate, beaming at her subjects, Halep swaggered and smiled.
As the Serb whipped out her phone posing for selfies with Wozniacki, chatting and giggling, Halep rolled up her track pants and got ready to spar with the 50 or so students lined up across the other side of the court.
Wozniacki was not feeling too well and left as her colleagues prepared to take to the courts, but Ivanovic obliged photographers' requests for pictures first, posing with polish before sashaying onto court.
Halep was at the adjacent court, already waiting at the baseline.
"I have no expectations (for this tournament). I have no experience," said 23-year-old Halep, on what will be her first appearance in the prestigious season-ending tournament.
"All the eight best players in the world are here, and I will try my best in every match."
The WTA Finals in Singapore will feature the top eight women's singles players in the world, and the top eight doubles pairs and they will vie for a share of the US$6.5 million ($8.3m) prize money.
China's Li Na, ranked fifth, recently retired.
Speaking of her youth and her return to form this year, Ivanovic's breezy style was a hit with the youngsters, and she even turned the tables, asking them for tips on where to go and what to eat in the Lion City.
"I have to try durians," she decided, laughing, as photographers clicked away.
Ivanovic has matched her on-court game with a stunning princess-like polish, even when she steps out of the arena.
But it would be foolish to discount Halep, the Romanian from the quiet Black Sea port city of Constanta.
She is perhaps still coming to terms with the off-the-court game, where her 1.68m frame may be overshadowed by the model-esque (1.85m) Ivanovic, but her speed, power and unpredictable game can flummox even the best.
So is her single-minded drive to succeed.
Halep admitted to still feeling nerves before matches, and the difficulty she has to stay in top physical form through the season, but her eyes lit up when speaking of the joy she gets being out on court.
At the tender age of 17, she decided to go for breast reduction surgery - no easy decision for a teenager - in a clear an indication of an immense will to succeed.
She said: "I love to play and I always have pleasure playing and I enjoy every practice and every match."
A dynamo on the court, Halep is perhaps still getting used to the glitz and glamour off it.
It came as little surprise then, when she revealed that her favourite movie was one that speaks of a girl learning to play in the posh crowd - Pretty Woman.
"I have to try durians."
One is touted as the next Li Na, while the other is the highest-ranked player in the WTA Rising Stars Invitational Tournament.
By the end of the first day of competition at the OCBC Arena yesterday, it was China's rising star Zheng Saisai who earned the bragging rights over world No. 34 Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan.
Zheng, 20, lost the first set 6-2 to 71st-ranked American Shelby Rogers, but fought back to win the next two sets 6-2, 10-6.
In the next match, Diyas, 21, crashed to Puerto Rico's Monica Puig 7-5, 6-2, as she struggled to keep up with the world No. 63's strength and speed.
The WTA Rising Stars Invitational Tournament continues today with Puig taking on Zheng at 10am, and Diyas facing Rogers at 11.30am.

I felt ashamed for what I had done. I don't have any excuses. I did what I did. I take full responsibility for myself and my actions. I wouldn't pawn this off on anybody. I'm sorry it happened. And I hurt people.
I really try to have fun. If I don't have fun, you won't have fun. That's what my gift is: to relieve people from a little of the pain and comfort in their lives by allowing my comedy to distract them. A good laugh is almost as good as any doctor visit.
I had been asking the universe and God to send me a way for me to help me. Show business has been so wonderful to me, and it came in the form of that. It's just so funny how things come into your life, and if you take a chance on them, it might give you a brand new life.
All great comedians make me laugh, but people make me laugh more.
I was 10th of 11 kids in an alcoholic, abusive, poor family. We all want things that we can't have. And I found comedy.
I was with a famous comedian when a young fan walked up and asked for an autograph. The comedian blew him off. I'll never forget the look on the young boy's face. He was devastated.
I've been in Vegas. That's where you get into the money thing. Boy, you get greedy in Vegas, you know. That's the only place that you can bet $25, get it up to $500 and refuse to quit.
I have about 1,000 hours of myself on tape in a vault in Los Angeles. But I also have a photographic memory about my jokes, because they're really about me; they're my stories.
I was kind of a Rickles comic to begin with. I was caustic, and I was abusive and mean to the audience.
I think I have always tried to connect my comedy to my art.
We were on welfare when we were kids. Thanks for reminding me of that.
You have to be funny about it and honest about it. You can't leave yourself out of that mix. You have to be honest enough to say, I'm that messed-up one in the family.
Dr. Phil was very helpful and caring. I believe he helped all of us there and watching how to better relate, understand, and communicate with our families and loved ones. Dr. Phil recommended reading my new book.
We all think we're going to get out of debt.

Politics, Religion and Polio
By Gwynne Dyer ⋅ July 8, 2004 ⋅ Post a comment
Filed Under Africa Nigerians, Governor Shekarau, Nigeria
By Gwynne Dyer
'Unsophisticated' is not a word that springs to mind when somebody mentions Nigerians. Indeed, all across Africa Nigerians have the reputation for being not just clever but — how shall we put this? — a bit too clever for their own good. So what can explain the strange events in the northern state of Kano over the past year?
Only months after he was elected governor of the predominantly Muslim state in April of last year, Ibrahim Shekarau suspended all vaccinations against polio in Kano in response to claims by local religious leaders that the vaccine made women infertile and 'rumours' that it was a Western plot to reduce the number of Muslims. For almost a year now no children in Kano have been vaccinated, and as a result over 250 Nigerian children have been paralysed by the polio virus so far this year. But it gets worse.
Polio was scheduled to be the next infectious disease (after smallpox) to be exterminated entirely in the wild. If enough people are vaccinated at the same time all around the world, the virus will simply die out. Work has been underway since 1988 (when the disease was endemic in 125 countries), and huge progress has been made.
In 1998, when the Global Polio Eradication Initiative went into high gear, about a thousand children were being stricken by polio around the world each day. There were only 783 cases worldwide in all of 2003. Three billion dollars have been spent, 20 million volunteers have helped with the immunization blitzes, and by last year the disease still had a foothold in only six countries. There were hopes that the disease would be extinct in the wild by the end of this year.
Unfortunately, one of the six countries where polio still survives is Nigeria. Good progress had been made with immunization there, too — but then came last year's ban in Kano. And since Nigerians travel a lot, polio has also shown up recently in half a dozen formerly virus-free countries elsewhere in Africa including (ominously) in a refugee camp in Darfur, in western Sudan, where the war may prevent a crash immunization programme.
Polio cases are up fivefold in West and Central Africa this year, and Dr Bruce Aylward, the global coordinator of the Eradication Initiative (which is backed by the World Health Organisation, Unicef, and Rotary International) warns that "the virus is gathering steam to come roaring out" of northern Nigeria during the rainy season this autumn, when new polio infections traditionally peak. The whole continent could be reinfected, knocking the eradication programme back by many years.
An synchronised vaccination drive for the 22 African countries most at risk is being organised for this October and November, but it may already be too late. So what can have led Governor Shekarau of Kano, not at all an unsophisticated man, to ban polio vaccinations in his state on the strength of mere rumours? The answer, alas, is 'politics.' Convoluted, cynical, ruthless, Nigerian-style politics.
Nigeria is a seething cauldron of different languages, religions and ethnic groups, but the great divide is between the mainly Muslim north and the largely Christian south. Yet Nigeria's politics are not really about religion. It's just that the army used to be dominated by Muslim officers from the north who used it as a springboard to the presidency (Nigeria has been under military rule for thirty of the past forty years), and then shared the wealth with their political patrons among the politicians and traditional rulers of the north.
It was a cozy deal that died with the last dictator, Sani Abacha, in 1998. In 1999 Olusegun Obasanjo, a former military dictator with a reputation for honesty (the only one who ever left power voluntarily) won the presidency with much support from northern Muslim voters — even though he is a Christian. They were revolting against the privileged clique of emirs, religious grandees, local politicos and ex-generals who have long relied on appeals to Islamic solidarity to secure their stranglehold on power across the north. So the clique panicked, and started pushing Islam even harder in an attempt to restore their power base.
Suddenly sharia (Islamic) law was imposed across all the northern states in violation of the Nigerian constitution and of minority (non-Muslim) rights, in an attempt to provoke a polarising confrontation with Obasanjo over religion. (He didn't rise to the bait.) Elements of this clique have probably had a hand in the wave of religious riots that have killed an estimated 10,000 people in cities across the north in the past four years. And still their presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari (another former military dictator) didn't win last year's election.
It was shortly after that that Governor Shekarau banned polio vaccinations in Kano because they were allegedly a Western plot to cut the Muslim birth-rate. This is not ignorant fanaticism; it is cold-blooded political manipulation, and his political machine may even have started the rumours itself.
Under pressure from the Islamic Conference (which passed a strong resolution demanding the resumption of vaccinations at its Istanbul summit last month) and from his own voters in Kano state (who are now experiencing a polio epidemic), Shekarau has promised to resume vaccinations this month. But much damage has already been done, and he may have a few more tricks up his sleeve yet.
To shorten to 725 words, omit paragraphs 3 and 6. ("Polio…made"; and "Polio…years")

Marion Polk Food Share Distributes Bottled Water to Help Those Affected by Drinking Water Advisory
By Marion Polk Food Share|2018-05-30T19:13:53-07:00May 30th, 2018|
Marion Polk Food Share has begun distributing 21 pallets of water to help people in the communities affected by the drinking water advisory. This water will be delivered to food pantries, meal sites and service agencies in Salem and the surrounding areas including Stayton and Turner.
The water will then be distributed by our partner agencies to people who are at risk. According to the City of Salem, "Children under the age of six, people with compromised immune systems, people receiving dialysis treatment, people with pre-existing liver conditions, pets, pregnant women or nursing mothers, or other sensitive populations should follow this advisory."
Volunteers of Marion Polk Food Share have also begun delivering bottled water to home-bound seniors and disabled adults in Salem through our Meals on Wheels program.
The Food Share received 18 of the pallets of water from our partners at Oregon Food Bank. We have also contacted other regional food banks to ask if they have access to additional water, in case it becomes necessary.
Rick Gaupo, CEO of Marion Polk Food Share, says, "We are always concerned about the health of the communities we serve, and we're committed to making nutritious food accessible to the people who need it. Today, people need water. So today, we're putting our efforts into bringing safe water into our community and getting it out to people who need it."
Locations of our partner agencies and their hours of operation are available here on our website: http://www.marionpolkfoodshare.org/get-help

The source is strong in this one
The source is strong in this one published on June 27, 2011 No Comments on The source is strong in this one
Hey, have you checked out Damage Control? It's a new comic strip from yours truly, and it just launched this morning!
The other day, I was at a local coffee shop trying to troubleshoot a page on my cartoon site. I didn't have my trusty laptop with me, but I no worries — I had my iPad, which is practically the same thing, right?
Until I opened the page in Safari, and had a look at the source.
Or, rather, didn't. It turns out Safari in iOS – you're going to want to sit down for this – doesn't have a "View Source" command.
Now, if I'd dug a little, I would have found many others in my position. I would have discovered any number of JavaScript-based bookmarklets for creating an ersatz View Source command in Safari on the iPad. I might even have come across the miracle known as Firebug Lite, a bookmarklet that replicates much of the functionality of that venerable web developer's tool.
Instead, I opened the page in Atomic Browser. Which (ahhhh!) does let you view the source of a web page.
"You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone," sang Joni Mitchell in 1970, which is how I know she had access to very early Firefox and iPhone betas. Because only someone who has had access to View Source, and then lost it, could understand the concept of loss well enough to write those words.
View Source is more than just a menu command; it's the Rosetta Stone to web innovation.
View Source turns "take it into the shop" into "pop open the hood and see what's broken."
View Source turns "How did they do that?" into "So that's how they do that."
View Source turns "I did this once" into "Everyone can do this again and again."
View Source turns a dozen people reinventing the same wheel into a dozen better wheels.
View Source turns a magician revealing her secrets into tens, hundreds or thousands of new magicians.
In short, View Source is a big part of what puts the "write" in the read-write web.
(Credit where it's due: while I made some progress on my own, the solution to my problem ultimately came thanks to Michael Sisk, creator of the free Webcomic WordPress plugin that powers Noise to Signal — as well as Damage Control, the comic I launched today.)
Update: Lloyd Budd points to this blog post by Chris Messina, from a mere four years ago, celebrating the joys of view source with far more precision than I can muster.

Basic Electronics 9 The first quantum number that describes an electron is the Principal quantum number. Its symbol is n. It specifies the size or order (energy level) of the number.
How ever we thought to list 4 really good books to learn basic electronics. The books are not necessarily in any order – but the first book by Forrest Mims is hand picked 🙂 It's a really really good book and we recommend it to any one who is interested in Electronics.
The thing that makes this book differ from other similar publications is the view into the whole chain of scientific elements that guitar players are deal- ing with when playing their instrument.


Showing results for tags 'paramedicine'.
Hi there, So I am currently a high school student in Grade 11, and am considering to go into the medical stream. My first semester grade 11 marks, in my opinion, are good, but are not necessarily that stellar (currently averaging at 89). During second semester, I'm doing better with an anticipated average of around 93 (mostly business courses, hardest course is functions). Considering the fact that medical school heavily weigh GPA as well as MCAT, I was just wondering if this program is a "GPA killer"? From what I know, in this program, the college courses taken at Centennial College count as university credits and are presumably easy and high-school like in nature. As a result, I assume these are an easy way to bring up your GPA. However, the UofT courses (the mandatory life science ones) are considered hard and are specifically calibrated to bring the averages down if too high (bell curve). Is that true? One of the main factors that contribute to this program to be first on my list of choices is the fact that in addition to getting a degree, you also get a useful diploma which enables you to get a highly demanded job, as a paramedic. Other programs that I am considering are either a bio program at either Ryerson or Brock (to simply get a higher GPA) as well as Life Science at McMaster. With these programs, however, the potential possibility of not making it into medical school can be devastating. However, if the correct courses are taken, there is a chance to venture my way into dentistry or podiatry. Ultimately, what do you think would be the best course of action for me?
THE BEST UG PROGRAM: Paramedicine at UFTSC? EASY?

Q: Spark framework not starting server I'm trying out the Spark framework, and the Getting Started isn't working for me.  I have the dependency set up through Gradle, the code (same as step 2 in Getting Started) compiles and runs without error, but the server never actually starts. My process exits with status code 0 without any output. Any ideas where to look for the problem?
If it helps, I'm running it as a Java library module in Android Studio 2.1.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Edit: I updated Android Studio to the latest version (2.2.3), and it solved my problem.

Golden Aces quarterback Reece Metcalf will get the start on Friday night in the Big 8 Conference foot-ball finale at Boonville [3-5]. Metcalf was injured in the second half of last week's 20-0 loss to Vincennes Lincoln, and did not return to the game after reporting some numbness in his throwing arm after a helmet hit. But, Aces coach Darren Peach reported that he has since returned to action.
"He underwent an MRI on Monday and checked out fine," Peach said. The hit may have been in the funny bone area, causing the loss of feel-ing, he said.
Between the Alices defense and a driving rainstorm throughout, Metcalf was held to 45 yards on 5-of-15 accuracy.
The junior southpaw now has an unofficial season total of 1,648 yards in the air, and has connected on 107 of 183 passes.
Metcalf is now only 361 yards away from breaking the single-season record of 2,008 yards set by Luke Drone in 2002.
Now 4-3 on the season and still on the outside looking in as far as the playoffs are concerned, there is a sense of urgency for the Aces to get at least one more win to land a post-season spot.
Peach would just as soon pick up that victory sooner rather than later.
"The goal is obviously to win six and win the next two football games. But, you don't want to go into the last week [against Mount Vernon, IL] having to win that game," Peach said.
Five wins does not always guaran-tee one of the 256 spots available in the 8-class Illinois state football tournament. Last year, for example, the Golden Aces would not have qualified with five wins, lacking enough playoff points.
This year, thanks to the addition of Breese Mater Dei to the schedule [replacing Red Hill] and Princeton's much improved win total, the number of opponent victories should be enough if the Aces finish with only five wins, according to Peach.
Sophomore linebacker Austin Rue is expected back in the lineup after missing the last two weeks with what was termed a "mild MCL." And, Noah Thompson will see more playing time up front, after being used exclusively on defense last week while on the mend.
Lineman Cameron Peach, however, is out with a broken hand suffered against Vincennes.
Kickoff on Friday night is 7:00pm.

Based on the reviews from the Travel Channel, the Neptune Diner might be such that place.

Throughout the 20th century and even more in the early 21st, Orthodoxy has been confronted with many unprecedented challenges which call for a radical re-evaluation of its identity. The various transformations and rapid changes at the political, social and spiritual levels during those years have highlighted the need for a sincere meeting of the Orthodox Church and theology with the quests of the postmodern pluralist society, which often seems to move without a compass. The necessity of a

David H. Rothman writes about the multiple uses of voice recognition software from the perspective of an expert writer, speaker and typist. Rothman also advises readers on the requisite microphone and boom to enhance the use of voice recognition technology.
David Rothman is spearheading chronicling the progress of expanding low cost access to e-readers as libraries engage in mission critical outreach efforts to reach underserved communities. In this article, Rothman asks: Suppose you could buy an iPad for $38, read OverDrive library books, even hear text to speech from them, and enjoy Kindle books, too. And how about social media, photos, basic video chat, and production of low-res videos? What if you could even use voice recognition to dictate e-mail or other documents for work or school? Programs to loan out low-cost e-readers are on the horizon, but David cautions there are indeed impediments, including operating system security and lack of now ubiquitous high-end audio/video performance.
David Rothman's discussion of the newest Kindle Paperwhite E Ink reader from Amazon highlights that the device is still missing text to speech – among the very features Jeff Bezos touted when he unveiled the second Kindle in 2009. He advises that we refer to the Paperwhite users guide and see what's AWOL.
Nicole C. Engard reviews several open source tools she recommends not only for their usability and reliability, but also for the cost to value ratio when compared to mainstream applications outside our ever narrowing budget requirements .

Prime Service Inc to be acquired by Atlas Copco North America Inc for USD 32 cash per share
Stockholm, Sweden and Houston, Texas, June 9, 1997 --- Prime Service, Inc. (NYSE: PRS), one of the largest rental equipment companies in the United States, announced today that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement with Atlas Copco North America Inc., a subsidiary of Sweden based Atlas Copco AB, pursuant to which Atlas Copco will acquire all outstanding shares of Prime Service at a price of $32.00 per share in cash. The aggregate consideration of the transaction to Prime Service shareholders is approximately $900 million (exclusive of approximately $260 million in debt.)
Pursuant to the agreement, Atlas Copco will commence a cash tender offer on June 9 for all of Prime Service's approximately 28 million shares. The agreement also provides that Prime Service shares not acquired by Atlas Copco in the tender offer will be converted into the right to receive $32.00 in cash per share in a merger to be completed following consummation of the tender offer. The boards of directors of both Prime Service and Atlas Copco have approved the transaction. The Prime Service board has received an opinion from Credit Suisse First Boston that the consideration to be received by the Prime Service shareholders pursuant to the tender offer and merger is fair to such holders from a financial point of view. The acquisition is subject to antitrust approvals and other customary conditions.
Prime Service was acquired in December 1994 by Investcorp, certain international investors and Prime Service management. At the time, Prime Service had approximately $212 million in revenues. The company completed an initial public offering in October 1996. Investcorp and the other international investors, who currently own approximately 74 per cent of the outstanding shares of Prime Service, have agreed to tender all of their shares as a part of the Atlas Copco acquisition.
Thomas E. Bennett, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Prime Service, said, "We are extremely excited about this new partnership with Atlas Copco, with its long history of solid growth and premier product lines. As before, we will continue to enhance our customer relationships, grow our rental fleet and improve our market coverage."
Giulio Mazzalupi, President and Chief Executive Officer of Atlas Copco AB, said, "It is a strategic goal for Atlas Copco to increase revenues generated from the use of our products, including accessories, service and rental operations. Prime Service, with its highly developed service ability, is part of this strategy and is an excellent fit to our existing business in the U.S."
In the U.S. market, there is a trend towards renting construction and industrial equipment driven primarily by the desire to concentrate on core activity and always have the state of the art equipment. In the last five years it is estimated that the rental industry has grown about 20 per cent per year. Analysts estimate that the contractor rental market in the U.S. alone exceeds $18 billion.
"The acquisition increases the opportunity to develop our business in the United States, to be close to the customers, and to enhance the growth potential of Atlas Copco products. Atlas Copco will also achieve a leading position in service of construction and industrial equipment in the U.S.," comments Giulio Mazzalupi.
Christopher J.O'Brien, a member of Investcorp's Management Committee and a Director of Prime Service said, "We have enjoyed our association with Prime Service, and are proud to have participated in the growth of this premier company. We are very pleased that Prime Service shareholders will realize an excellent return on their investment in Prime Service." On June 6, 1997, Prime Service's shares closed at a price of $24 7/8 per share.
Prime Service is one of the leaders in the rental equipment industry in the United States, and currently operates 122 rental equipment locations in 14 states. Prime Service rents over 100 different types of equipment, including aerial manlifts, portable air compressors, forklifts and light earth moving equipment, as well as small equipment such as power tools. Prime Service has a base of over 40,000 customers ranging from Fortune 500 companies to subcontractors and homeowners. Total revenue for 1996 was approximately $330 million.
Atlas Copco, based in Sweden, is an international industrial group of companies and is among the world's leading suppliers of products and services in the areas of air and gas compression, industrial manufacturing, rock excavation, light construction and demolition, as well as installation, repair and service. Atlas Copco has approximately 21,000 employees worldwide, and had sales in 1996 of approximately $3.6 billion. Atlas Copco North America Inc. is the holding company for well-known U.S. companies including Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation and Chicago Pneumatic Tool Company.
Investcorp was established in 1982. It acts as a principal and an intermediary in international investment transactions. To date, it has completed over 60 transactions with an acquisition value of approximately $9 billion. Investcorp and its clients currently own 16 corporate investments in North America and Europe, including Saks Fifth Avenue, Star Markets, Simmons Company, William Carter Company, Helly Hansen and CSK Auto. Previous investments include Tiffany, Gucci, Circle K and Thorn Lighting.
