Alcher de Clairvaux, hispanizado como Alquero de Claraval y latinizado como Alcherus Claraevallensis fue un monje cisterciense francés de la Abadía de Claraval.

Biografía
Pocos datos se tienen sobre su vida. Probablemente se hizo cisterciense al escuchar las predicaciones de San Bernardo (✝1153), y vivió bajo los dictados del abad Geoffroi d'Auxerre (1162-1165). Los pocos detalles sobre él son conocidos por los escritos que le dirigieron Pierre de Celle (De conscientia) e Isaac de l'Étoile (De anima).

Obra
En el pasado se le atribuyeron dos obras, De spiritu et anima (o Liber de anima et spiritu) y De diligendo Deo, ambas actualmente atribuidas a un autor anónimo conocido como Pseudo-Agustín, de la misma época.

Fue Tomás de Aquino quien por vez primera le atribuyó De spiritu et anima a Alquero. Actualmente, se ha acreditado que es una compilación de alrededor del año 1170 fundada en Alcuino, Anselmo de Canterbury, Bernardo de Claraval, Agustín de Hipona, Cassiodoro, Hugo de San Víctor, Isaac de Stella e Isidoro de Sevilla, además de Boecio. El texto se refiere en particular a los puntos de vista medievales sobre el autocontrol y sobre la doctrina de que "el alma gobierna el cuerpo". El propio Tomás de Aquino argumenta en su Summa que "este libro no posee gran autoridad".

De diligendo Deo es una obra devota tradicionalmente atribuida a Alquero. Sus obras pueden encontrarse en el volumen centésimo nonagésimo cuarto (194.º) de la Patrología latina de Migne.

Ideally, instead of being here at my office desk typing a blog, I'd have been at Westminster this morning for the launch of The Co-operative Advantage, a substantial piece of research coordinated by Ed Mayo at Co-operatives UK which suggests fifty innovative ways that cooperatives could help boost the British economy.
The book is divided into chapters covering, among other sectors, agriculture, housing, transport, banking, renewable energy, social care, health and (the chapter which I was asked to contribute) insurance.

A former Ballinacurra Weston youth worker, Evan O'Grady (Lefty), has a great philosophy on life – it is all about making a person smile.
The West End Youth Centre was opened in Ballinacurra Weston in January 2010.
It aims to provide young people with the opportunity to develop socially, personally, educationally and recreationally by providing three services: after-school programmes, late night drop-ins and small group projects.
"I don't see this as our building. This is the young people's building. This is their safe place.
"My job is to empower them every day. We offer programmes to young people who just happen to live in a tough area and who may be more at risk," Mr O'Grady said.
He is committed to creating a safe-haven for disadvantaged youths in Limerick.
In 2010, he spotted an opportunity for an apprentice youth worker after completing his Leaving Certificate.
After being selected for the position he also enrolled in the Youth Work Diploma in UCC which he took part in during his apprenticeship at the Youth Centre. "I've been here ever-since and I love it," he added.
He runs weekly group activities to develop young people with skills like cooking, bakery sports, arts which they might not necessarily do every day.
According to the children in the centre they are learning important life skills.
"When you get older, you must cook and clean for yourself. They taught me to look after myself and to cook, bake, making buns, making pizza," one teenager said.
"Lefty is decent, he's fashionable, he's good, he's nice and he does fun stuff with us," another teen added.
Young people aged seven to 25 are welcome in the West End Youth Centre.
"We don't have any restrictions of the type of people who come in here. Regardless of background or location we welcome them all," the youth worker explained.
The centre also promotes active volunteering and anyone coming to volunteer will receive proper training. This encourages a sense of responsibility amongst them.
"I nominated one young person, Adam, for the Garda Youth Award in November after his summer volunteering," Mr O'Grady told Limerick Voice.
Processing youth program funding applications is an important part of the job for Mr O'Grady.
He is also working on programmes focused on Sexual Health; Drug & Alcohol Awareness and Cyber Bullying to give in 2019.
Seventy young people are currently using the service with strict rules on who gets access to the centre to ensure the facility is not used as a place for the youths to go instead of attending school.
In December, Evan will be taking part in Mental Health training with the Limerick Mental Health Partnership.

Pool Landscaping in Dallas | #1 Dallas Landscaping and Lawn Care Co.
There are several reasons you may want landscaping around your pool. Pool landscapes can provide both privacy and protection from debris while being low maintenance at the same time. It can also be a great way to bring your personality into your backyard, creating an entire theme and landscape that goes around the pool.
If you want plants around the pool, you will need to choose carefully. Not only will you have to worry about what grows well in the Texas weather, but you also have to think about potential issues with certain plants. If plants grow too tall they may drop leaves and other debris into the pool, which means more maintenance. You also should consider what will thrive by a pool where plants might get splashed with large amounts of chlorinated water. Luckily, Lawn Connections has many trained and experienced landscapers who are experts at helping you choose what plants you can use by your pool. You might be surprised how many choices you have once you talk with us.
You can only trust the most experienced and knowledgeable landscapers with your lawn or yard, and we know that. We pride ourselves on how we handle customer service as well as our amazing finished products. Working with us means that you will get a landscape you love. Contact us by calling 972-418-LAWN.

The Hawker 800XP extended performance mid-size business jet.
The Hawker 800XP taking off.
The Hawker 800XP can be configured as a business or VIP jet or as a special mission aircraft.
The Hawker 800XP entered service in 1995.
The 800XP features an uprated engine, enhanced aerodynamics, increased design weight and system upgrades.
The interior has been extensively restyled with new windows, seats, lighting and tables.
Over 1,000 Hawker series aircraft have been delivered.
800XP aircraft have been configured for special missions including flight inspection.
The 800XP is powered by two Honeywell TFE731-5BR-1H turbofan engines each rated at 20.73kN.
The launch of the Raytheon Hawker 800XP extended performance mid-size business jet was announced in 1995. The aircraft is in service both as a business / VIP jet and also in special mission versions. The XP features uprated engine, enhanced aerodynamics, increased weight and system upgrades.
In December 2006, Raytheon announced the sale of Raytheon Aircraft to GS Capital Partners. The new company is called Hawker Beechcraft Inc and the sale was completed in March 2007.
The Hawker 800XP business jet is derived from the design of the UK-built de Havilland / Hawker Siddely and British Aerospace 125, first built in 1962, which evolved into the Series 400 to 800 produced up to the early 1990s. Raytheon purchased the Series 800 program in 1993 and the aircraft took the name Hawker 800.
Over 275 of the Hawker 800 were built until final production in 1995 when the 800XP entered service.
The largest fleet of Hawkers is run by NetJets, the fractional aircraft ownership programme run by Executive Jet. NetJets has 100 Hawker XP aircraft including 27 800XP. A number of Hawker 800XP are in the fleet of Raytheon's fractional ownership company, Flight Options LLC (formerly Raytheon Travel Air), along with Beechjet 400A and KingAir B200 aircraft.
A Hawker 800XP is in operation in China, providing medical evacuation services for International SOS.
In November 2005, Raytheon introduced the Hawker 850XP, a successor to the Hawker 800XPi. The aircraft has composite, outwardly canted winglets, a range increased by 4% (an additional 185km) and 8% improvement in time to climb. The 850XP has the same Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics Airshow 21 cabin management system as the 800XPi. The Hawker 850XP received certification in March 2006 and is the current production model, superseding the 800XP.
Special mission variants
The Hawker 800FI is a flight inspection variant carrying the designation C-29A for the United States Air Force and U-125 for the Japan Air Self Defence Force. The United States Air Force received six C-29 aircraft for C-FIN (Combat Flight Inspection and Navigation) missions. The aircraft, equipped with LTV inspection systems, have been transferred to the Federal Aviation Authority for flight inspection operations worldwide.
The Japan Air Self Defence Force operates the U-125 for flight inspection missions by the Hiko Tenkentai forces based at Iruma.
The Hawker 800XP is of all-metal construction with low sweptback one-piece wings, a high tailplane and rear-mounted engines. The leading edges of the wings and tailplane are fitted with a TKS liquid de-icing and anti-icing system.
BAE Systems Aerostructures supplies the doors, fuel tanks, flaps and elevators, and from September 2004, the rudder and tailplane assemblies.
The flight deck of the Hawker 800XP accommodates two crew with a third seat for an observer or crew member. The windscreen is fitted with an electrical anti-icing system.
"The Hawker 800FI is a flight inspection variant in service with the United States Air Force and the Japan Air Self Defence Force."
Since 2002, the Hawker 800XP has been equipped with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite. The suite includes four 10in x 8in active matrix liquid crystal displays, dual FMS 6000 flight management system, digital autopilot, GPS-4000A global positioning system, TCAS 4000 traffic alert and collision avoidance system, TWR 850 turbulence-detection weather radar system, Terrain Awareness Warning System (TAWS) and dual Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) that uses a digital quartz gyro. Honeywell Mark V Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) is also fitted.
In May 2005, Raytheon introduced the Hawker XPi with upgraded avionics, including the Rockwell Collins IFIS-5000 integrated flight information system and Pro Line 21 Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) suite fitted as standard.
IFIS includes dual graphical multi-function displays, electronic charts, enhanced map overlays and optional 3D flight management system mapping, paperless cockpit and real-time graphical cockpit weather.
The 17.1m³ (604ft³) cabin can accommodate up to 14 seats, with typical seating layouts for six to ten passengers in a variety of configurations. A VIP cabin layout provides seating for eight passengers with four club seats at the front of the cabin, a
three-seat settee and a single seat at the rear of the cabin. The luggage compartment is accessible in flight.
In 1999, Raytheon restyled the interior: the interior window frames were restyled from square to oval, passenger seats were restyled and retailored, sidewall lighting was added and the side panel worktables were redesigned for easier access.
As part of the Hawker 800XPi upgrade, the cabin has been restyled to provide more baggage space, LED cabin lighting and the Rockwell Collins Airshow 21 cabin management system which now includes LCD touchscreens at each chair for the individual control of lighting, temperature and entertainment systems.
The aircraft is powered by two rear-mounted Honeywell TFE731-5BR-1H turbofan engines each rated at 20.73kN. The engines, fitted with Dee Howard thrust reversers, are mounted in Northrop Grumman pods on either side of the rear fuselage. The engines are
fitted with BCF engine fire extinguishers and engine bleed air ice protection.
"The 17.1m³ (604ft³) cabin can accommodate up to 14 seats."
The aircraft has integral fuel tans in the wings and a rear underfuselage tank, of total capacity 5,700l.
The aircraft is equipped with twin-wheeled hydraulically retractable tricycle-type landing gear.
The landing gear is fitted with Dunlop wheels, Dunlop triple disc hydraulically operated brakes and a Maxaret anti-skid system. The main gear retracts
inward into the wings and the nose unit retracts forward.

So, you've chosen rings, a date and a venue for your wedding, and it's all moonlight and roses. But what about your Ante Nuptial Contract (ANC): have you given that any thought?
We don't like thinking about death or divorce when we are in the grip of a heated romance and can hear wedding bells in our heads. We don't like talking about which assets we will claim as ours if the relationship sours. However, it is far better to get these uncomfortable details sorted out before you exchange rings in order to avoid losing out when things go wrong or end – and they ultimately will, whether you like it or not. Drawing up an ante nuptial contract isn't about being greedy or getting more than your fair share of someone else's wealth, though of course there are some gold diggers out there. It is about protecting your finances when you are vulnerable.
A G Jenkins Attorneys will be giving away an Ante Nuptial Contract to the value of R2,000 (+VAT) to one lucky couple at the Midlands Bridal Fair at Lythwood on Tuesday, 1 May 2018 – enter at the A G Jenkins Attorneys' stand at the fair to stand a chance of winning!

Call to end bishops' place in the Lords
Home > News > Call to end bishops' place in the Lords
Nia Griffith MP spoke up this week in the parliamentary debate on the House of Lords, calling on the government to go further than an 80% elected second chamber to a fully 100% elected chamber, and opposing the government's proposals to retain reserved places for bishops of the Church of England in the new chamber.
"The bishops are not representative of all Christians in the UK, never mind those of different faiths or no faith at all. The Church of England is not the established Church of the United Kingdom. The Church in Wales was disestablished in 1920, in Northern Ireland there has not been an established Church since 1871 and the Church of Scotland Act 1921 acknowledged that the Kirk had never been the established Church of Scotland and so could not be disestablished. Many countries specifically separate Church and state, even countries with a clearly dominant religion, such as Italy or Spain. Furthermore the Church of England still does not allow women to be bishops.
I oppose reserving the 12 places for bishops of the Church of England in the second Chamber because it is not the established Church of the whole UK, because the appointment of bishops does not conform to the spirit of equality legislation and because it is high time that we separated Church and state."

With a number of SBAS systems and four global satellite navigation constellations either already operating or under development, eventually "many, many satellites" will be in view, said the satnav experts of RTCA's Special Committee 159 (SC-159) on GPS. So many, in fact, that incorporating them all into a navigation solution may be more that the processors in GNSS equipment can handle.
During the October 21 plenary meeting of RTCA, however, Working Group 2 (WG-2) of SC-159 reported on a promising solution to the problem developed by Todd Walter, senior research engineer at the Stanford GPS Lab at California's Stanford University.
Walter's approach, which will be described in more detail in an article in an upcoming issue of Inside GNSS, chooses the optimum combination of satellites to get the best performance. Although that sounds simple, arriving at such a solution requires first answering questions like what constitutes "best performance" and what yardstick do you use to first select satellites then compute and evaluate a navigation solution — all while using processor capacity efficiently.
To tackle the problem Walter suggested and compared several approaches for the working group during an exercise to select the best 20 satellites out of 30 satellites in view.
One of the simpler options was to drop those satellites at the lowest elevations. Another approach called the used a "greedy algorithm" based on making a locally optimum choice, or prune, and at each stage — a technique that should result in a convergence to a global optimum. The Greedy Method process involved calculating all subsets, removing one spacecraft at a time. Remove from consideration the result (and thereby one satellite) with the smallest impact on a chosen performance criterion, such as geometric dilution of precision (GDOP), Walter explained. Keep down-selecting until you get to the number of satellites you want to work with.
Walter then modified the Greedy Method to look for the smallest solution variance after satellite removal.
"Start with an all-in-view covariance matrix," the working group chairs said in their summary, "remove one satellite at a time by 'adjusting' the full solution variance without a full subset computation — this is the "measurement downdate." This approach uses a focus on obtaining the smallest position variance to cut the amount of computation required by the original Greedy Method.
Walter proposed a further refinement called the Heuristic Optimal Criterion, which uses a weighed combination of horizontal protection level (HPL) and vertical protection level (VPL) variance to better balance the selection between horizontal and vertical covariance optimums — with a bias in favor of VPL.
Though heuristic, they said, his approach "will become at least a reference technique if not a minimum requirement in the eventual DFMA/MCMF MOPS," that is the minimum operational performance standard (MOPS) for dual-frequency, multi-constellation (DFMA)/multi-constellation, multi-frequency (MCMF) equipment.
"Not bad at all," the working group concluded.

The 52-year-old head of one of Sweden most infamous gangs was sentenced in Germany on Tuesday to three years and three months in prison.
Mats Rimdahl, who previously headed the Maskeradligan ('The Fancy Dress Gang'), was found guilty by a court in Lübeck for reckless driving, being an accomplice to auto theft, and for counterfeiting official documents in connection with a wild car chase through the city last autumn, the Dagens Nyheter (DN) newspaper reports.
The incident took place in October, after Rimdahl took possession of a Porsche Cayenne stolen from Stockholm.
He then outfitted the vehicle with false number plates and drove to Lübeck to sell the vehicle.
Acting on a tip from authorities in Sweden, German police set up a check point in an attempt to intercept Rimdahl in Germany.
But the Swedish gang leader instead sped away, leading police on an extended car chase through city streets involving 24 police cars and reaching speeds of 140 kilometres per hour.
According to Swedish police, Lindahl is active in an international criminal gang which specializes in stealing expensive sport utility vehicles.
The former naval officer became one of Sweden's most feared criminals in the 1980s as head of the Maskeradligan, which earned its moniker for a series of high-profile heists carried out by disguise-wearing robbers.
He was released from prison in Sweden in 2006 after serving a lengthy sentence for kidnapping, car theft, and armed robbery.

Q: How can I remove images from a PDF of a given size using ghostscript? I'd like to remove some images from a PDF, but only images that match a certain criteria in terms of size (height x width).  Is this possible using ghostscript?
I've seen some answers for removing all images, but not for only some images.

A: You could redefine the image operator to check the height and width of an image, and if it is too large you could install the nulldevice for the duration of the image.
That will require some PostScript programming of course.

Real Madrid vs. Barcelona live stream: How to watch El Clasico right now
By Philip Michaels 01 March 2020
La Liga is on the line - catch Real Madrid vs Barcelona live streams
(Image credit: Claudio Chaves/Eurasia Sport Images/Getty Images)
The waiting is over... El Clasico has arrived! And it's time to get your Real Madrid vs Barcelona live stream ready. Whoever wins this huge encounter will be in the driver seat for the title in Spain's La Liga. Just two points separate league leaders Barcelona from second place Real Madrid, so plenty is at stake in this showdown.
This match-up figures to be extremely lively since Real Madrid can leapfrog Barcelona for first place in La Liga with a home win. Here's where you can find a live stream of Real Madrid vs. Barcelona along with tips on using a VPN to watch El Clasico.
Real Madrid vs. Barcelona start time, channel
The Real Madrid vs. Barcelona match is scheduled for Sunday, March 1 in Madrid, with kickoff at 9 p.m. CET. That's 3 p.m. EST/noon PST.
U.S. viewers can watch El Clasico on beIN (or, indeed, Sling TV), a cable channel that's also carrying the match in Canada. UK viewers can find Real Madrid vs. Barcelona on LaLigaTV as part of Premier Sports.
How can I use a VPN to live stream the Real Madrid vs. Barcelona match?
If you're someplace where you can't watch Real Madrid vs. Barcelona on Sunday, a virtual private network, or VPN, can come in handy. With a VPN, you can disguise where you're surfing the web from, allowing you to access the same streaming services you subscribe to back home.
We've tested many different services to find the best VPN overall, and our pick is ExpressVPN. We like its mix of performance and customer support, and you can get a lower price by subscribing on an annual basis.
ExpressVPN: Express VPN can access more than 3,000 servers spread out across 160 locations in 94 countries. Expect reliable performance and responsive customer support should you run into trouble. And if you buy a year of ExpressVPN, you'll save the equivalent of three months off the cost of a monthly subscription.View Deal
How can I watch the Real Madrid vs. Barcelona match from anywhere in the world?
U.S. viewers will need to have a cable or satellite TV package that includes beIN. That can be tricky, as beIN isn't included in a lot of common TV subscriptions. You can live stream events like Real Madrid vs. Barcelona from the beIn website, but you're required to sign in with a TV provider. Note you can't stream beIn through Safari.
In the U.K., you can watch Real Madrid vs. Barcelona through LaLigaTV, a channel included in Premier Sports. That services costs between £5.99 and £9.99 per month depending on what package you opt for through Sky or Virgin.
How can I live stream Real Madrid vs. Barcelona without a cable TV subscription?
If you don't have cable TV or beIN isn't a part of your cable package, you're not out of luck when it comes to watching Real Madrid vs. Barcelona. Just sign up for a subscription TV service that includes beIN among its channels.
Your cheapest option comes through Sling TV, which in addition to its Blue and Orange package of channels also offers a World Sports package for $10 a month. World Sports includes beIN among its channels.

AIM-listed buy-and-build construction materials company SigmaRoc plc have acquired a 40% equity interest in GD Harries, a leading quarrying and construction materials group located in South Wales, for a cash consideration of £4.89 million. The company has also entered into an option agreement to purchase the remaining 60% for a cash consideration of £7.5 million, on or before 31 August 2020.
GD Harries are one of Wales's largest independent suppliers of aggregates – based in West Wales, they operate out of six granite and limestone quarries – incorporating three asphalt plants. six concrete plants, and a wharf operation, as well as a civil engineering division delivering significant infrastructure projects.
The business was founded by Gerald D. Harries and built into the foremost independent regional supplier by his son Ian Harries, who will continue as chairman of going forward.
For the calendar years ending 31 December 2015, 2016 and 2017, GDH averaged revenues of approximately £23.4 million and adjusted EBITDA of approximately £3.4 million. The company held assets with a book value of approximately £26 million at the end of 2017, including approximately 80 million tonnes of reserves and resources, sufficient for an approximated 100 years of quarrying life.
Following the acquisition, SigmaRoc's David Barrett and David McClelland will join the GD Harries board, alongside Ian Harries and Janet Philips. The investment with GD Harries will be the foundation for SigmaRoc's third platform and will incorporate Foelfach high-PSV quarry acquired earlier in 2018.
SigmaRoc, who intend to fund the transaction through internal resources and existing debt facilities, expect the Group's net debt to EBITDA ratio to remain close to the current level of 2:1.
Ian Harries, chairman of GD Harries, commented: 'Having been approached by several companies to buy the business, SigmaRoc was the only one we engaged with directly due to their business ethos and commitment to our workforce, which has, over the years, been a key factor in driving the business forward.

Individual Titles Awarded at National Outdoor Collegiate Championships
HARRISONBURG, Virginia - The U.S. National Outdoor Collegiate Championships (NOCC) came to a close today, with individual champions crowned in eight competitive categories. 254 archers from 34 different schools and colleges competed at the inaugural event, with strong team pride evident in everything from uniforms to banners and school flags.
History was made by many of the competitors over the weekend's events, who earned first-ever team and individual titles for their schools - or in some cases, clinched multiple medals in team and individual events. All of the competitors are part of USA Archery's Collegiate Archery Program.
In the compound categories, the big winner was the University of South Carolina, a team headlined by Team USA archers Carli Cochran and Garrett Abernethy, both of whom won gold medals in their respective matches. Silver and bronze went to Daniel Suter (James Madison University) and Bryce Bason (Lock Haven University) for the men, respectively. For the compound women, it was Columbia University's Julie Hoffman taking silver, and Emmanuel College's Claire Estrada winning bronze.
Sungwoo Shin of Atlantic Cape Community College was crowned the recurve men's champion, with University of Connecticut's Eliot Simon earning the silver medal. Curtis Balusek of Georgia Institute of Technology rounded out the podium with the bronze. Branduin Stroud of the University of California - Berkeley earned a gold medal of her own in the recurve women's category, edging out silver medalist Katie Alexander; Cassandra Pelton of Georgia Southern University won bronze.
The barebow category saw strong competition from Kelton Cheng, the top qualifier who was eventually crowned champion of the men's category today; he hails from the University of California - San Diego and earned that school's first national championship title. Daniel Allen and Roger Ho, of Georgia Southern University and the University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA), respectively, clinched silver and bronze. Megan Larson of UCLA won the barebow women's gold medal, while Sophia Jung of Stanford University earned silver. Bronze went to Sandra Childress of the University of Arizona.
Bowhunter division competitors should keep an eye on fourth-ranked Camille Silverman, who took the women's gold medal today on behalf of host school James Madison University. Kendel Baier of Penn College was the silver medalist, while Erin Formiller, shooting for Michigan State University, won the bronze. For the men's group, it was Penn College's Tyler Schoonover who claimed the championship title. He was joined on the podium by silver medalist Jerry Knauth (Texas A&M University) and Aaron Stickman (JMU).
Complete results from the event are available at this link. Photos from #NOCC can be found at USA Archery's Facebook, Instagram and Twitter feeds. Tonight's banquet will recognize the winners of several different awards, including All-American Team and Collegiate Archery Program Coach of the Year.

Women's History Month Blog: Women of WIN
Michigan is filled with amazing women who have made ground-breaking advances in the state and around the country. Take for instance Merze Tate, a champion in higher education[1], Andra Rush, founder and CEO of Rush Trucking, one of the first Native American woman-owned businesses in Michigan[2], or Harriet Quimby, the first woman to gain a pilot's license in the United States. [3] All these women hail from Michigan and not only accomplished great feats for themselves, but paved the way for the generation of women after them. In 2018, the annual workforce population of Michigan was 4,704,127, with 49% being female.[4] Women are increasingly becoming a large part of the workforce and are bringing outstanding change and progress to the state.
For this Women's History Month, MI Bright Future wanted to celebrate women doing amazing work here in Michigan by talking with the innovative leadership of the Workforce Intelligence Network (WIN). In this interview Carrie Bonofiglio, MI Bright Future Business Partnerships Manager, Lisa Gordon, MI Bright Future Program Manager, Sarah Gregory, Director of Youth Strategy- MI Bright Future, Michele Ureste, Executive Director of WIN, and Michelle Wein, Senior Research Manager share their career paths and thoughts on how young women can stand out in today's workforce.
MI Bright Future Welcomes Partnership Opportunities
The State of Michigan recently approved legislation to address the gap in workforce skills by increasing K-12 career awareness and competency-based learning. The Workforce Intelligence Network (WIN) was awarded a multi-year contract in 2018 for MI Bright Future, a talent development initiative in alignment with state workforce goals.
As Michigan transforms its economy to meet 21st century needs, it has become more important than ever to remove barriers between the state's educational system and professional industries. This observation led WIN to develop MI Bright Future in 2015, and the State of Michigan to adopt the Marshall Plan for Talent in 2018, which included support to expand the scope and reach of MI Bright Future throughout the state.
MI Bright Future is a collaborative effort to increase youth career awareness and readiness through online resources to address workforce needs. The State of Michigan currently requires all students to complete Educational Development Plans (EDP) for career planning, with many districts utilizing software platforms to do so. MI Bright Future leverages and enhances these technologies by providing direct linkages between employers and high school students, thereby enhancing career planning through access to real-time interactions with experienced professionals.
WIN's goal is to provide access to MI Bright Future to all Michigan students, regardless of their district's chosen EDP platform. Public Act 227 (PA #227) highlights the requirements MI Bright Future must meet as it expands to additional communities. In order to effectively meet the goals of PA #227, WIN is happy to announce the opportunity for partnership with any software vendor that adequately meets the standards, requirements, and goals stated in PA #227.
If a vendor creates or can utilize existing web-based software to satisfy PA #227, WIN will work with them to provide their clients access to MI Bright Future. Upon agreement of partnership, the vendor's technology platform will be populated by the MI Bright Future team with propriety information collected, managed, and owned by WIN. However, interested vendors unable to meet stated needs will not be selected for partnership.
Interested vendors may contact the Director of Youth Strategy and MI Bright Future at the Workforce Intelligence Network, Sarah Gregory, directly by email or phone to discuss the potential for partnership: sarah.gregory@winintelligence.org, 734.934.4510.
Sincerest regards,
Michele Economou-Ureste
Executive Director, Workforce Intelligence Network for Southeast Michigan
Blog: Three Creative Ways to use MI Bright Future
MI Bright Future is a platform for students and educators to explore and interact with professionals and businesses throughout the state of Michigan. It allows users to explore careers and employers in a meaningful way. There are several ways to use the program, including career/company discussion boards, company profiles, and work-based learning activities. Through this program, educators can greatly impact a student's post-secondary career pathway and relate what they are learning in school to their future careers . Below are three creative ways to incorporate MI Bright Future in the classroom.
Create EDP activities to explore MI Bright Future:
Educators can use MI Bright Future to create student activities that count towards EDP completion. These activities are unique to every educator and can be customized by grade level or to a group of students. Creating EDP activities to explore MI Bright Future is a good way to introduce the program to students and encourage them to interact with it in a constructive manner. Activities like drafting a career coach question, looking up a particular industry in the region, or finding a local company and exploring their work-based learning activities helps students learn how to use the program effectively to interact with businesses. Educators can create EDP activities in the Career Advisor Management System (CAMS) through the EDP Completion Standards tab under the "Required Assignments & Activities" by selecting "add an assignment". Connect with the MI Bright Future team to learn more!
Have a "MI Bright Future Lesson" in your classroom:
A new resource available to educators are MI Bright Future lesson plans! These lesson plans were developed in response to school partners requesting resources to guide educators and students through the MI Bright Future system and serve as support when the MI Bright Future team cannot be in the classrooms. They cover topics such as internet safety, importance of soft skills, and best practices with social media. These plans are great for classrooms just starting out with MI Bright Future or those that want a "refresher" with students. Facilitation of the lesson plans is first done by one of MI Bright Future's Implementation Coordinators, and then, through discussion with school staff, can be facilitated by educators themselves. The lesson plans meet Common Core College and Career Readiness standards. To learn more about MI Bright Future lesson plans, contact MI Bright Future at info@mibrightfuture.org.
Think outside the box with work-based learning :
One of the main functions of MI Bright Future is requesting work-based learning activities from local businesses and professionals. This feature is especially versatile and can be used to engage with students through creative means. One way to use work-based learning activities is by hosting a competition with a local business. For example, educators can use work-based learning activities for an art class doing a project that will be evaluated by a local designer or artist. Another way to use work-based learning activities is to have local professionals come in and do mock interviews with students to prepare them for job interviews. These out-of-the-box examples not only get students to interact with local businesses, but also allows for relationships to form between businesses and educators.

Blog: How to prepare your students for their future today!
In Michigan, there are a lack of individuals who have obtained a degree or certification towards careers in high-demand industries, such as health care, IT, skilled trades, and engineering and design. [1] In response, MI Bright Future is a statewide initiative to grow the next generation of qualified candidates and in turn narrow the gap in Michigan's workforce demand. The program makes career-related information accessible online to high school students and their educators! Here are four tools to help you jump start your students' journey towards a rewarding career.
Blog: MI Bright Future and Work-based learning activities: A match for a successful workforce
Work-based learning activities (WLAs) are activities offered by individual professionals or businesses to provide students real workplace experiences, and a chance to engage seriously with the economic, social and educational demands of the modern workforce.[1] WLAs not only provide students career exposure and on-the-job learning, but also an opportunity to develop key employment skills, such as communication and teamwork. Companies that offer WLAs raise local awareness of their business and industry, provide guidance to students on how to be successful in their field, and have an opportunity to identify prospective future employees.Read More
Blog: Building your future workforce with MI Bright Future
A healthy workforce pipeline is crucial to Michigan's economic sustainability and growth. Michigan would struggle to develop, attract, and retain the next generation of qualified workers if not for the collaboration between business, government, community, and education. This type of collaboration is at the heart of MI Bright Future. By connecting businesses with local schools through an easy-to-use online system, MI Bright Future allows companies to take a proactive role in developing the state's talent and securing its future in Michigan.
Michigan Schools & Government Credit Union Award Scholarships
Participating MI Bright Future organization Michigan Schools & Government Credit Union has awarded $67,500 in scholarship money to local students and educators. Read below to learn more about the awards and their recipients. Congratulations to all those who were selected!
Engaging Students with Active Learning
If you want to increase student interest in your class, add "extreme" to its title. That strategy worked for University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) professor Perry Samson, who more than doubled the number of students attending his meteorology class, "Weather and Climate," by renaming it "Extreme Weather." But if your goal is to improve student outcomes, Samson says, employ active learning techniques, an approach that improved examination performance among his students by just under half a standard deviation.

La gazza di Ceylon o gazza blu dello Sri Lanka (Urocissa ornata ()) è un uccello passeriforme appartenente alla famiglia Corvidae.

Descrizione

Dimensioni
Misura 40-47 cm di lunghezza, per 196 g di peso.

Aspetto
Si tratta di uccelli dall'aspetto slanciato, muniti di testa arrotondata con lungo e forte becco conico dall'estremità adunca, ali lunghe e digitate, lunga coda (poco più del corpo) e zampe forti. Nel complesso, la gazza di Ceylon ricorda molto la gazza eurasiatica, sia per l'aspetto che per la distribuzione dei colori (che però in questa specie sono del tutto differenti).

Il piumaggio è inconfondibile: la testa, il collo e la parte superiore del petto sono di color bruno-cannela, e dello stesso colore sono anche le remiganti primarie, mentre le secondarie sono di colore blu-violaceo. Dorso, petto e ali sono di colore azzurro-bluastro, mentre ventre e fianchi schiariscono nell'azzurro brillante: la coda è dello stesso colore, con le singole penne dalla punta biancastra, col bianco delimitato da una banda di colore blu-nerastro.
I sessi sono simili per taglia e colorazione.

Il becco è di color rosso corallo: dello stesso colore sono anche le zampe e l'ampio cerchio perioculare glabro, mentre gli occhi sono di colore rosso scuro.

Biologia

La gazza di Ceylon è un uccello dalle abitudini di vita diurne, che si muove da solo o in coppie passando la maggior parte della giornata indifferentemente al suolo o fra i rami di alberi e cespugli alla ricerca di cibo.

Nonostante si tratti di uccelli piuttosto schivi, essi sono molto rumorosi e ciarlieri: il loro richiamo (formato da un fischio nasale, seguito da due corti ed acuti uguali fra loro, che ricorda una ruota cigolante) viene infatti emesso quasi incessantemente, ed è di solito il primo segno della presenza di questi animali nella zona. La gazza del Ceylon emette inoltre tutta una serie di richiami fischiati e gracchianti, ed oltre a ciò è in grado di imitare i suoni dell'ambiente circostante.

Alimentazione
Si tratta di uccelli onnivori, la cui parte carnivoro/insettivora della dieta è preponderante: essi si nutrono infatti perlopiù di grossi insetti (coleotteri e grilli), bruchi, larve, altri invertebrati e piccoli vertebrati (topolini, lucertole, rane), ma possono cibarsi sporadicamente anche di bacche e frutta matura.

Riproduzione
La stagione riproduttiva di questi uccelli comincia verso la metà di gennaio: rigidamente monogami, le coppie rimangono assieme anche per anni.

Il nido, a forma di coppa, viene costruito da ambedue i sessi fra i rami di un cespuglio alto o di un albero: esso ha forma di coppa e viene edificato utilizzando rametti e fibre vegetali, foderando la parte interna con licheni e radichette.
Al suo interno la femmina depone 3-5 uova biancastre con fitta punteggiatura bruna, che provvede a covare da sola (col maschio che rimane di guardia nei pressi e si occupa inoltre di reperire il cibo per sé e per la compagna) per circa tre settimane, al termine delle quali schiudono pulli ciechi ed implumi.
I nidiacei vengono accuditi e imbeccati da ambedue i genitori: essi cominciano a tentare l'involo attorno alle tre settimane dalla schiusa, continuando a rimanere coi genitori (seguendoli nei loro spostamenti e chiedendo loro sporadicamente l'imbeccata) ancora per una settimana circa prima di affrancarsene definitivamente ed allontanarsi dal territorio natio.

Distribuzione e habitat
Come intuibile dal nome comune, la gazza di Ceylon è endemica dello Sri Lanka, del quale occupa la porzione centro-meridionale corrispondente grossomodo al triangolo compreso fra le città di Kandy, Badulla e Matara.

L'habitat di questi uccelli è rappresentato dalla foresta pluviale tropicale di pianura e collina: questi uccelli popolano sia le zone di foresta primaria che secondaria, colonizzando anche le piantagioni di tè.

Sideman Special: Doug Corcoran (Pt. 2)
Under The Spell Of JD McPherson
An interview with Doug Corcoran (Pt. 2)
Words: Vincent Abbate / Photos: Amanda Devitt
Having traveled in blues circles for over 20 years now, I've seen the different ways musicians react to the purist attitude held by many long-time blues enthusiasts: They either conform, stick to their creative guns, move on to another genre or pack it in completely. While conversing with multi-instrumentalist Doug Corcoran for the better part of an hour, I learned something. Rockabilly fans can be every bit as conservative.
There's a difference, though: On the style-conscious rockabilly scene, purism has as much to do with having the right image as with the music itself.
"The really hardcore rockabillies don't care how good the music is. It's more about if the band wears the right things. Are they playing vintage instruments? Do they have an upright bass? It's more about what it looks like, does it fit their lifestyle."

An interview with Doug Corcoran
Words: Vincent Abbate / Photos: Jimmy Sutton, Amanda Devitt
Some musicians crave the spotlight. They're born to raise hell, jump security barriers and take twenty-foot leaps into the crowd. Others just show up and do their jobs without any fanfare. Saxophonist Richard Oppenheim, who has blown his horn alongside Otis Rush, Johnny Winter, Marvin Gaye and dozens of others, put it this way: "There's a certain comfort in being a sideman. (…) Basically I shut up and play."
Chicago product Doug Corcoran would likely echo that sentiment. Though his steady hand on guitar and occasional saxophone flourishes are integral to the ever-evolving, neo-rockabilly sound of JD McPherson's five-piece band, Corcoran is a stoic figure onstage who shuns extraneous motion. In conversation, he's deliberate and self-effacing. "JD's a lot harder to get an interview with. I think there's about six hoops you have to jump through." It's almost as if he's apologizing for being the one doing the talking – without actually saying "So you're stuck with me."
WoW #12: Hound Dog Taylor and the HouseRockers – "Sadie"
December 13, 2017 December 13, 2017 Vincent Abbate 1 Comment
Hound Dog Taylor and the HouseRockers – "Sadie"
"They were inseparable, and they played together like brothers, sensing each other's musical twists and turns before they happened, feeding energy and good spirits from one to the other."
Thus wrote Bruce Iglauer of Alligator Records of singer/guitarist Theodore Roosevelt "Hound Dog" Taylor, guitarist Brewer Phillips and drummer Ted Harvey – the band of brothers who inspired him to start a record label.
"They fought like brothers too," recalled Iglauer in 1982, "as they crisscrossed the country from gig to gig in Hound Dog's old Ford station wagon, arguing constantly about who was the best lover, who had the best woman, who was the best mayor Chicago ever had, who was or wasn't out of tune the night before. The arguments weren't always in fun, either. From time to time a knife appeared, and finally even a gun."


Jesus died because he was completely human, not just a divine alien visitor wearing human skin. A part of the condition of being human is limitation. And the great limit is that nothing lasts forever. And so we die. For God to show his love by becoming one of us meant that he signed up for the whole package, including hurting and dying.
Jesus came to make a new covenant between God and humanity. Today, we make covenants by signing our names to written contracts. The signature means that everything we own is on the line to back up our commitment to the other party of the contract. Before the age of universal literacy, serious covenants were made and sealed in blood. This indicated that both parties were placing their whole selves on the line in making the contract. Jesus came as God and as human. To seal the contract he gave all the blood and all the breath he possessed. This new and everlasting covenant between God and ourselves was thus sealed in the "Everything" that was Jesus himself.
This covenant included liberation from sin and death. Like a mighty hero who rides into the enemy kingdom, Jesus allowed himself to be overpowered by darkness, to have the life sucked out of himself. Then, in the very bowels of death, he rose up in the power of God and vanquished the slavery of death itself. He wielded the Cross and defeated Satan and then completed the task by leaping into the dwelling place of God and throwing open the gates of heaven. This offered us hope and the availability of eternal life.
In all of this, Jesus completed the work of mediator and builder. He crossed from God and his divinity to us and our humanity, completely embracing both and constructing a great bridge. To do this, he had to be firmly planted in both the Kingdom of Heaven and the kingdom of earth, divinity and humanity. In his incarnation, life and death, resurrection and ascension, he built the everlasting bridge.
Because Jesus did this (not Moses or George Washington), the work is eternal and cannot be taken away or diminished. We can choose to ignore it, but we can't make it go away. When the spirit of evil whispers that we have sinned too much, too frequently, too deeply to ever be forgiven, we have only to stop and look, to realize and accept that we are on a bridge and in a covenant connection that will last forever.
And all of this because Jesus died.


At the Law Offices of Tedone & Morton, P.C. in Plainfield, we handle private, agency, stepparent and relative adoption for clients in Will County and surrounding areas of Illinois. Our firm offers the services of an attorney who has more than 10 years of experience in complex family law matters. We can answer your questions and help you evaluate your options in pursuing an adoption. Contact us today to schedule an informative consultation.
In most cases, the courts will order an investigation and a guardian ad litem review before approving an adoption. This can be a lengthy and complicated process. Aspects of your past or your current situation can be misinterpreted. Having experienced legal guidance can help you avoid serious roadblocks to adoption.
It is important to remember that you are dealing with a bureaucracy that is designed to protect children from possible harm rather than facilitate adoption. Investigators are often looking for anything questionable or out of the ordinary, rather than considering the big picture.
It is also important not to become discouraged. Adoption is a wonderful gift that can make a tremendous difference in a child's life. With the help of an experienced lawyer who knows the system and can guide you through the process step-by-step, you can realize your dream of adopting the child you love.
To discuss your plans to adopt with an experienced Illinois adoption lawyer serving clients in Will County and beyond, contact our office located near Joliet today.

Q2 2012 Orlando, Florida Commercial Real Estate Economy
The January 2021 market report for the Orlando, Florida All Sectors market includes our most recent findings on:
View our Orlando, Florida Submarket Map
The Orlando economy was left with little to hold onto once the recession swept away its major pillars—an inflow of tourist dollars, population in-migration and residential development. The housing market was left in tatters. As the national recovery makes its fitful progress, Orlando's does as well.
Job growth in the Orlando Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) has increased in the recent term. According to data provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), non-farm employment as of July was up 1.0% (10,200 jobs) over the 12-month span ending with July. Growth over the preceding 12 months was 0.9% (9,200 jobs). The gap between current and pre-recession employment levels, meanwhile, remains wide. Non-farm employment per the latest July remained down fully 6.0% (64,500 jobs) from July 2007.
The recent positive turn in the local economy has been led by the huge Leisure and Hospitality sector. Indeed, employment in this segment accounts for fully 21.2% of total metro area non-farm employment—and 23.7% of total private non-farm employment. Employment in this segment as of July was up 4.1% (8,400 jobs) from 12 months prior and was up fully 8.2% (16,300 jobs) over 24 months. Weakness in the large Professional and Business Services segment, meanwhile, remains an impediment to fuller recovery. Employment therein as of July was down 0.3% (500 jobs) over 12 months and was down 1.0% (1,600 jobs) over 24. And the ravaged Construction sector continues to shrink, albeit at a slower pace. Employment in this sector per the latest July was less than half the total recorded as of July 2007.
Recent reporting, meanwhile, cites improvement in the local housing market. "Metro Orlando's homebuilding industry is on an upswing—and that's expected to help Florida lead the nation in economic recovery," the Orlando Business Journal reported in August citing local residential research firm Charles Wayne Consulting Inc. New sales increased 41.0% in the second quarter year-over-year to 872 closed transactions, while the average new home selling price grew by 6.9% to $252,400. In addition, this source reports 1,218 new home construction starts during the quarter, nearly double a year prior. According to data provided by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the 5,310 residential building permits issued during the first seven months of the year were up 48.3% from the total recorded for the comparable span of 2011. Of that sum, 3,928 were for single-family detached units, up 49.1%. Foreclosures, meanwhile, remain a topic of concern. According to RealtyTrac as reported by the Journal, Orlando ranked 15th among more than 200 U.S. metro areas surveyed in rate of foreclosure for July as 3,219 residences, one of every 293 in the MSA, received some kind of foreclosure notification.


A young man, a Senior in high school that many was close to died last week. I know he is happy and with God now, but I worry about his family, the ones he left behind. I worry of his mother and father, who are taking the death of their son so hard. The young man was a beacon of hope and joy for all around him, showing us all that whatever god you worship loves us. Please, pray for his family, and every family grieving a loved one.

I dont know if I'm Bi/Straight
By TennisLover
September 17, 2006 in Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender
TennisLover
Well here is my story. Im a 16 year old girl from California. Well I have heard that being sexualy abused can kind of make you think you are gay...you know like if youve been molested by a guy, then you hate them. Well thats what happened to me. But thats a whole other topic I need advice on. So that happened when I was about 12 or 13, and the guy is my friends older brother hes 21 now. So needless to say I now feel uncomfortable around most every male, I hate to admit it but even mt male family members who would never do anything like that to me, I feel uncomfortable around. So now Ive found that I only feel comfortable around women. And lately I have begain to find some of them very attractive. I dont know if its just that Im open minded or what. I really dont think Im full on gay, but I can definatley see myself as bi. I could never imagine myself with a guy from high school. I wouldnt dream of having a boyfriend, but I could picture myself with a girl. I find them very attractive, much more attractive then men. And lately I have been into all these lesbian movies and TV shows, and hello I do like tennis...haha Butit seems like its an on-off thing. Sometimes I feel like I like men, then its like I like women. I just really dont know what it is. Im so confused. Im sorry I cant tell you more right now, Ill try to explain more when I can put it into words. Thanks in advance though.
BrokenWingedFaery
I think you should probably get some counseling for the abuse before trying to ascertain your orientation.
I knew I was bi prior to being molested, so it wasn't an issue for me.
God isnt it disgusting, it seems everone has been molested! Well I know I need to talk to someone, but Im sure you know, its easier said than done
law4life
I agree, you should seek counseling prior to dating anyone, especially while you are still young. Getting help now will save a lot of heartache in the future. I was raped at 13 lost my virginity that way. I am 33 now, and still have problems dealing with men. No one got help for me, you go get it for yourself, I wish I didn't wait so long to get it. Trust me, you are more than likely not bi-or gay. You just need to be healed that's all Sweetie...
"God isnt it disgusting, it seems everone has been molested! Well I know I need to talk to someone, but Im sure you know, its easier said than done"
Sexual violence is very common. Nearly everyone I know was raped or molested. Granted, people with similar experiences group together, but it seems like everyone's had something like this happen.
And yes, I know it's easier said than done. In fact, I've never gotten professional help, with how my family is, it wouldn't be safe. It's one of those things...when you think you're over it/ok/getting better, something comes up and it's suddenly very hard to cope. I've only recently begun to see everything objectively and it's been awhile since this happened.
Ipso Fracto Man
I read somewhere that sexual abuse occurs in about one out of three homes. And think, that's just the ones that get reported. Sad frickin' state of affairs.
Counseling does sound like a good idea, since it helps so many people with the confusion and other things related to being victimized. I would add to that, though, that if you decide you like girls, guys, both or even none of the above, it is your right to take your orientation in any direction you want.
Once you're eighteen (per CA law), that is.
Yeah...sexual abuse is majorly under reported.
I think it's important to focus on getting to be ok with guys, for the most part, before trying to figure out if you're bi/straight/les
