Amanda Cook "Brave New World" Album Review
By Timothy Yap Sep 21, 2015 08:20 AM EDT
Prime Cuts: The Voyage, Heroes, Shepherd
Many of us were introduced to Amanda Cook when her song "You Make Me Brave" became the soundtrack of our lives when we were intimated by fear. Culled from Bethel Music's #1 album of the same name, Cook is not only one of Bethel Music's songwriters and worship leader but she's also signed onto the imprint as an artist. Joining Jenn Johnson, Steffany Gretzsinger, Hunter Thompson and others, Cook has released her debut solo debut. Utilizing "You Make Me Brave" as her launching point, Cook has decided to take a whole odyssey of faith into a brave new world of trust and dependence on Jesus. In many ways, this album is her travelogue where these 13 songs function as landmarks across her voyage. Each track poetically and artfully captures her (and our) struggles, hopes, and joys of what it means to journey with Jesus into her (our) brave new world.
Hailed from Medicine Hat, Alberta, Amanda has a dynamic history as a worship leader and songwriter that began at a young age. She has been a part of the Bethel Music family since 2010 and currently ministers in the US and internationally. Cook has written many anthemic worship songs for Bethel Music including "You Make Me Brave", "Closer", "I Will Exalt", and "Shepherd". Her newest song "You Don't Miss a Thing" is featured on Bethel Music's latest album We Will Not Be Shaken. For her solo debut, she has enlisted the help of three-time GRAMMY-nominate "Producer of the Year," Jason Ingram, and one of Nashville's most in-demand producers and drummers, Paul Mabury to share the producer credits. Cook, on the other hand, co-wrote or wrote all of the 13 songs, with three of them co-written with label mate Steffany Gretzinger.
Easily the first three songs on the record are the cynosure. "Heroes" is arguably the album's most propulsive number with its incorporation of some EDM lines. Not the Mariah Carey song of the same titular but a new co-write between Cook and producers Mabury and Ingram, "Heroes" is a call to trust God in the midst of our disappointments. What is most interesting about this record is that 8 out of the 13 songs use a singular word as its title. "Shepherd" is the second of such a one-word titled paean Drawing us in with her breathy Brooke Frase-esque vocals, "Shepherd" gets us to become co-worshippers rather than just mere listeners. With the same atmospheric built-up and intensification of emotions, the ethereal-sounding "The Voyage" calls to mind Hillsong UNITED's "Oceans."
However, the title of "Never See the End" is indicative of the nature of the song. This ballad just meanders and winds without every arriving at any recognizable hook that you wonder if Cook will ever reach her brave new world. Save for a couple of instrumentals, the rest of the album follows suit. Being mostly teased out atmospheric worship ballads with very nebulous melodic structures, it takes a lot of concentration to know where one song ends and where another begins. If these songs are meant to serve as devotional pieces used for one's down time to unwind before God's presence, then they could pass muster. But if they are to be used for congregational worship, the congregation will be severly challenged in finding any hooks to latch onto. This will sadly give rise to perennial complaints by church goers that modern worship songs are repetitive and tedious.
Based on the first triumvirate of songs, Cook shows potential. But over an entire album of material with similar tempo and rarely capitalizing on songs that are ear-grabbing, it can be a chore to sit through listening to the entire project. Regardless of how heartfelt the execution may be, a good song still needs to have a strong and memorable melodic structure, especially if it's meant to be sung by congregations. It needs to etch its way into our hearts via the ear. Thus, if there were a few more cliff hangers and a few more attention grabbing sites, getting to the brave new world may be a little more exciting.

VIDEO: Key Moments From CECC Hearing "The Long Arm of China: Exporting Authoritarianism With Chinese Characteristics"
(Washington, D.C.)— U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) and U.S. Representative Chris Smith (R-NJ), the chair and cochair respectively of the bipartisan Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC), held a hearing on December 13, 2017 to look at the scope of the Chinese government's foreign influence operations.
Witnesses included Shanthi Kalathil, the Director of the International Forum for Democratic Studies at the National Endowment for Democracy; Glenn Tiffert, a Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University; and Sophie Richardson, the China Director for Human Rights Watch.
Partial transcripts and links to videos of some of the hearing's key moments are below. Witness testimonies and the opening statements of Senator Rubio and Congressman Smith can be found on the CECC's website. The archived hearing webcast can be viewed at the CECC's YouTube page.
VIDEO: Senator Rubio Says Chinese Government Wants to Roll Back Human Freedoms
What see here, on behalf of the government and the Communist Party, is an effort to roll back the advances towards human freedom that have been made over the last hundred years, particularly since the end of the second world war. That's also important to communicate because sometimes when we talk about China it means, in the minds of some, that we are talking about the Chinese [people]—and we are not. We are fully cognizant that in a nation that large, with that many people, there are hundreds of millions of people who aspire to a different way forward, but simply do not have the way to advocate for it, or are punished for advocating for it—sometimes even with their lives—and so that's always important to leave clear on the record.
VIDEO: Glenn Tiffert Responds to Representative Smith's Question About China's World Internet Conference & Confucius Institutes
The United States is accustomed to dealing with or engaging with the world from a position of the strength, not just comprehensive economic and military strength, but also a deep confidence of the enduring appeal of our values around the world. And that, particularly since the fall of the Berlin Wall, has produced a certain amount of complacency—we thought game over—I don't think China ended the game and I believe that we are now playing different games and the United States needs to get its game back on. Our confidence about our strengths, our power—our soft power not just our hard power—has produced the language of "responsible stake holding," "convergence"—they will become more like us if we open our institutions to them and show them how fabulous we are. China is the first country this century to challenge that from a position of comprehensive strength. They are large, they are increasingly rich, and increasingly militarily powerful, so we need to dig deep. Our way of dealing with a lot of these issues is too harden our own institutions, some of which are developing cracks—academia, the media, other institutions. China is exploiting those cracks and it is doing it in ways that frankly are brilliant. Our best response to these exploitations is to strengthen ourselves, to raise consciousness, to get our game back on and to reinvest in ourselves… It is a question of values—Senator King raised this earlier. To the extent that we regard our engagements with them as purely transactional and disengage values from it—then Tim Cook (Apple CEO) can talk optimistically about a day when China may suddenly open up without having to confront the problem of the China of today.
VIDEO: Senator King Describes China Influence Operations as 'Geopolitical Jujitsu'
What is going on here is what I call "geopolitical jujitsu" where you are using your opponent's strengths as their weaknesses. Our strength is our openness, our free society, our first amendment, and protected expression and that is being used by our adversaries to undermine our system. It is kind of an ironic turn using our own values against us and that is concerning to me because any country in the world could look at what the Russians did here in 2016 and say, "Wow that worked, it was pretty cheap, and here is another avenue for influence."
VIDEO: Shanthi Kalathil on the Exporting of China's Censorship
This combination of aspects results in a system that curtails freedom, suppresses dissent, and manages public opinion reliant not on any individual elements put on a principle of redundancy built into every layer. Why is this domestic approach relevant to our topic today? It is becoming evident that the CCP under Xi Jinping is intent on encompassing the rest of the world within its "walled garden." This isn't to say that China seeks to control every facet of communication or that it wants to impose its exact model of authoritarian government everywhere, but it is increasingly true that Beijing's technology ambitions, combined with its attempts to determine, on a global scale, the parameters of acceptable speech and opinion with respect to China, pose clear threats to freedom of expression and democratic discourse outside its borders. So how does the Chinese government apply to gardening techniques internationally? While it cannot control the infrastructure and technology of the global Internet, Chinese companies are actively building out key telecommunications and communications infrastructure in developing countries, raising questions about security and dissemination of censorship capabilities. And, if China succeeds in dominating the emerging global market for data-enabled objects, also known as "the Internet of Things" its approach to embedded surveillance may become the norm in places with weak individual privacy protections.
VIDEO: Sophie Richardson on China's Efforts to Undermine UN Human Rights Mechanisms
Even as it engages with UN institutions, China has worked consistently, and often aggressively, to silence criticism of its human rights record before UN bodies and has taken actions aimed at weakening some of the central mechanisms available there which in turn poses a longer term challenge to the integrity of the UN human rights system as a whole. In a September 2017 report, we detailed how Chinese officials have harassed activists, primarily those from China, by photographing and filming them on UN premises, in violation of UN rules, and by restricting their travel to Geneva. Members of this Commission need no reminder about the case of Cao Shunli. China has also used its membership on the UN's Economic and Social Council's NGO committee to block NGOs critical of China from being granted UN accreditation and it has sought to blacklist accredited activists. Behind the scenes, Chinese diplomats, in violation of UN rules, contacted UN staff and experts on treaty bodies and special procedures including behavior that has amounted to harassment and intimidation. China has also repeatedly sought to block or weaken UN resolutions on civil society, human rights defenders, and peaceful protests including when they do not directly concern policy and practice in China. It has pushed back against efforts to strengthen some of the key mechanisms, notably country-specific resolutions on grave situations like North Korea and Syria and efforts to strengthen treaty body reviews. During UN peacekeeping budget consultations earlier this year, China sought to slash funding for the UN human rights officers who play a vital role in monitoring alleged human rights abuses in some of the world's most dangerous places...
VIDEO: Glenn Tiffert Responds to Senator Rubio's Question About the Scope of Chinese Influence Operations
What distinguishes the Chinese efforts to wield influence in the United States is that they are spending a great deal more money to do that—they have commercial advantages and so they are able, through, for example, Confucius institutes, to promote a particular view of China and to close out discussion of certain topics on campus. They are able to donate money to a particular cause—much of this is legal activity but they can simply wield influence because they can write checks. That is something that we did not face as a country during the Cold War with the Soviet Union as their pockets were not as deep. China is not necessarily appealing to hearts and minds, it is appealing to wallets.


Hey y'all, I'm sick this week and my voice sounds terrible, so it's another transcript version. Enjoy, I guess.
Parliament voted again on Monday to narrow down options for the impending Brexit from the European Union, and once against couldn't really agree on anything. This comes after last week's third defeat of PM Theresa May's proposed deal. With the EU saying a no-deal Brexit is likely (which would be bad), May crossed the aisle to the Labour Party for help getting a deal, an extension on the leave date or literally anything done. Her party was pretty pissed, but a no-deal prevention bill was struck in the House of Commons. If it passes the House of Lords, it will help get a 12-month extension and to give the UK time to figure something out.
Brunei imposed a law allowing for people found guilty of adultery or being gay to be stoned to death. And they're not the only country in which being gay is punishable by death. Seriously.

And Everything Is Going Fine (2010)
(A talkie, courtesy of TIFF Bell Lightbox, in Toronto)
And Everything is Going Fine is about the life of Spalding Gray; a man who wrote and performed monologues on that same subject. "I can't always tell when I'm making things up" he tells his dad, in one of the film's many clips. "I can't tell either," says the elder Gray, who has since died.
Spalding Gray is dead, too. His body was found in the East River in March 2004, two months after he apparently committed suicide. Dental records confirmed his identity. Witnesses told police they saw Gray on the Staten Island ferry the night he vanished, and it is presumed he jumped into the water. He'd investigated that method before.
Steven Soderbergh's film makes it clear that Gray pondered suicide, and death in general, for a long time. Maybe all his life. The actor talks to Soderbergh, and to his audiences and interviewers in various decades, about his mother's own suicide; his brother's sing-song questions at bedtime ("If I die, is it forever-ever-ever?") and his own sharp demand to a pregnant girlfriend: "get rid of it." I believe he saw death like an author sees the end of a book. He was an actor who worked from his own script, drawn from a life he felt able to document but not control, except when he used it to fashion stories. For him to die any other way than by his own hand would be to leave the story a chapter short. About the afterlife he says almost nothing.
We're shown many Grays—stills of a surprisingly handsome actor tinkering with convention in the 1960s; pixelly videos of a still-young, but more familiar looking Gray, performing monologues in the early-80s; an older, paunchier, but crisper filmed Gray doing the same thing in recent years. And a thin, hobbled Gray, on crutches after a serious auto accident in 2001, voice dipping to despair when he tries to be wry. He tells stories to Joy Behar, Charlie Rose and others in the same rhythmic cadence he uses in performances, but sometimes he changes his voice, answering serious questions in a measured, professorial tone. He is old and young and old again; sick then well then sick at Soderbergh's command. Everything fluctuates. "What's it like to be a dad?" asks one interviewer. It's great, Gray says; it brings you outside yourself. 'Relativizes' things.
"I hope I don't put myself through all this just to generate material," he half-jokes. (I'm paraphrasing here—have been all along. Can't write in the dark as fast as Gray speaks onscreen). What about using family as material? "I think I can get away with it once," Gray says, and we see clips of him doing just that. "The risk of telling a story about my family is that the next story would have to be about my leaving them."
Soderbergh worked with Spalding Gray several times. In 1996 he directed Gray's Anatomy, basically a filmed version of one of the monologist's near-90 minute pieces. Gray's Anatomy was thoughtful and funny, but I'd rather have seen Gray perform it live. And Everything Is Going Fine is something else altogether—a microcosmic twin to, rather than a sample of, or movie about, Gray's career. Gray mined his own life, reordering, refining, and distorting details as needed to find a bigger truth—and to entertain. Soderbergh, to find a bigger truth about Spalding Gray, draws not from the man's life but from his work—of which, it can be argued, his every on-camera utterance was a part. The truth about Spalding Gray is that he's dead; and this is how he got there. One of the ways, anyway. I liked it.
Where to find And Everything Is Going Fine:
And Everything Is Going Fine will have an exclusive engagement at TIFF Bell Lightbox for at least one week starting on Thursday, March 10.

This is one last of the scheduled showings of this film and the only Canadian showing. There is no word on DVD release. It's excellent in so many ways. I hope people in Toronto go to see it.

DEVORE SHELTER FRIENDS: RESCUE HOLDS: COURTESY THAT SAVES LIVES OR ENABLES SCAMS?
RESCUE HOLDS: COURTESY THAT SAVES LIVES OR ENABLES SCAMS?
In the past couple of weeks, San Bernardino experienced another big fire. Notices were sent out to rescues that had placed 'holds' on pets at the shelter to come and pick them up. The shelter needed room for evacuated pets.
Devore is very fortunate in that there are many reputable rescuers in their network. Devore is also preyed up by some not so reputable individuals and groups taking advantage of the Hayden Law. Right before the fire, on June 9th, 45% of the dog kennels at Devore had holds on them, most from out of state phone numbers.
But, really what can rescue holds do to the shelter pets is a better question. Why these holds? Could it be to solicit more pledges? Is it to actually save lives? Some rescues use it to save lives, some use it to raise money, money that is often unaccounted for and often the pet the money was raised for sits in the shelter and is euthanized.
When a rescue has a hold, that means the space becomes a private kennel basically. At one time, a major agency reported that 40% of their kennels were holding for rescues, some for as long as a month. These 'rescues' yell the Hayden Law if they drag their feet and fail to do their duty, the pet is euthanized, the rescues had their chance or chances. Holds are not dictated by law, they are a courtesy. Some rescuers think it is an entitlement, but they are wrong.
Understand that a hold means taking up valuable space, and it means another can go down to keep that space on hold. Devore makes an effort to move out the ones with holds before euthanizing for space. Usually when the shelter reaches the point where space is an issue, they won't grant additional extensions based on how long the pet has been in the shelter. Rescuers don't realize they can affect others when they fail to show to pull their holds. Rescues drag their feet, leaving pets in there for as long as they can; often times this can mean the pet becomes ill. Although the rescues are made aware of the urgency with the sick pets, they will come to the shelter and decide to adopt other well pets instead. Typical case is the Zephyr in Los Angeles County. The rescuer walked by that dog for a month, watched that dog getting sicker, even took a picture of Zephyr dying, but went on to get others out instead.
Animals that are on "hold" status pose a dilemma for staff; they struggle between euthanizing an animal versus holding on in the hopes that a volunteer or rescue group will meet their commitment to take the animaL. Even when an animal on "hold" is euthanized for humane reasons, staff is often criticized even if it is in the animal's best interests. In this instance, staff erred on the side of trying to accommodate the volunteer's wishes.
On December 1, 2007, Zephyr passed away. Zephyr had been in the Carson Animal Shelter for five weeks and on "hold" for the volunteer for a month.
One of the challenges faced by the Department in its efforts to work with volunteers or Adoption Partners is ensuring that the animals these partners place on "hold" are removed by them in a timely manner. This is critical because animal shelters cannot become a place to keep animals for extended periods of time. Animals that are housed too long at a shelter become stressed, are exposed to illnesses from other animals, infect animals with their own illnesses, and take up valuable cage space needed for new arrivals. Moreover, overcrowded shelters exceed staff's capacity to effectively and humanely care for the animals.
As part of the Department's review of the holding practices used by Adoption Partners and volunteers, it was discovered that the Carson Animal Shelter in particular had a large number of animals being held for a very extended periods of time. In fact, over 50 dogs were being held by volunteers or rescue groups, some for as long as five months. The Department has corrected this abuse of the system by insisting the animals be removed in a timely manner.
Online there are people complaining about the Devore shelter on holding times. Those very people have a considerable record of Devore extending holds for them as many as 25 times. Yet they condemn. When they condemn, it is because they failed to do their responsibility and pull the pet before euthanasia became necessary.
As of the writing of this piece, which started before the Lake Fire, Devore has 82 dogs listed in inventory. Thirty seven (37) of those are on hold for rescues. That is almost half of their inventory. Will they all be pulled in time? How much money in pledges will come in while the animals sit in the shelter?
Anyone these days can sit on the computer, pull pictures of shelter animals and set up a pledge account. There is no followup to see if the pledged pets really ended up safe and in a forever home. All you have to do is post a 'freedom' picture and collect those pledges. The pet could have been dumped on the side of the road for all anyone knows, or worse.
Another question is if these pledges are reported as income? Some of these people aren't non profits so how is this reported for tax purposes? There are a lot of questions surrounding these pledges, transports, etc. Pets are being shifted around in appalling numbers, unaccounted for, and many unaltered. It is time for regulation of the field of rescuing and transporting, heavy regulation with power of enforcement.
The courtesy extended by Devore to hold pets for rescue is being taken advantage of. Devore shows it's commitment to wanting to save pets with this courtesy. Be respectful of this extended courtesy.

My Question on the Cuts t...
My Question on the Cuts to the Family Court Support Worker Program
Cuts to the Family Court Support Worker Program Hurts Vulnerable Women: NDP
Queen's Park – During Question Period yesterday, Peggy Sattler, New Democrat MPP for London West, challenged Premier Wynne on funding cuts made to the provincial Family Court Support Worker Program, which provides services to survivors of violence as they navigate the legal system.
"One of the essential programs that helps vulnerable women stop the cycle of violence is the Family Court Support Worker Program, which provides specialized services such as safety planning, preparing for court and assisting women to file restraining orders," said Sattler.
"Through a Freedom of Information request I've learned that the Premier and her government reduced funding for this already underfunded, but highly effective, program."
Premier Wynne failed to acknowledge the cuts made to the program.
"There has been no increased investment in the Family Court Support Worker Program," said Sattler.
"Women and community advocates have told me repeatedly about how effective the program is in helping women leave abusive relationships, which is why demand for the program has been increasing," said Sattler. "The government's own briefing notes speak to the success of the program. Cutting funding just doesn't make sense, especially when it's vulnerable women who are paying the price."
Sattler made her comments on December 6, the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women.
"As we remember the 14 women who died at l'École Polytechnique, we also recognize the many women in Ontario who struggle to flee from violence and abuse," she said.

At the beginning of the school year I wrote about how I introduced my first rejoinders to the class.
By this time of the school year, my students have a variety of ways to respond to different situations, what I say or what we read. But I'm still training them. They're not where I want them to be yet. Their engagement and motivation to use the language is still quite strong, so I still haven't introduced any extrinsic motivator like you may have seen at #iFLT15. Even so, I still sometimes get the deer in the headlights look in response to statements and questions I make. Remember, my students are expected to respond in a way that I can observe to every statement I make or question I ask.
I now have three areas in my classroom dedicated to rejoinder posters: The Bank, Active Learning, and Mastery. The Bank is the database of many of the rejoinders we will learn this year. The second is the Active Learning space for expressions we're currently learning. The third is the wall of mastery. This is where the expressions go after I am convinced that 80% or more of my students know them and can use them in appropriate contexts.
I have many expressions posted on the cabinets on one side of the room that gets little use. They aren't obvious because they are obscured by the white board on wheels that I use for extended or enrichment vocabulary. The students know they are there, but they've never been introduced to the class. They are present but unknown, waiting for their turn to move to the Active Learning spot.
There's something really neat about having rejoinders we're not currently learning already posted on the wall. I see students congregating around the list during passing time. I hear them sounding out the expressions and making guesses as to their meanings. Sometimes they shrug and walk away. Occasionally they ask me what one means and I tell them. And you know what that means.
Their own curiosity is driving their learning.
They then take these expressions and use them. First, they use them with friends in passing time, at the cafeteria and in the locker bay. But they also use them in class and show them off. They are the only ones who know what these new expressions mean. Most of the kids don't know. When you are the only one who knows something and you share it, and it garners a positive response from the teacher, that validates your use of the expression. It makes you feel special. You are now the early adopter of that expression. You are the innovator. You own that expression. It's yours. And when we teach it to the other students, you get the credit for having brought that into our common knowledge. Interestingly, this is not something that I plan for or train my students to do. It just happens. They are human and thus they are creators and innovators by nature. They do this on their own account.
I tend to have four or five expressions at a time posted vertically on the right edge of the whiteboard with their meaning in English written next to them in white board marker.
I underline it again but this time in syllables: I MA GI NA TE. I underline it again but this time with rhythm. Finally, I turn to the class begin to snap at a slow rate, and begin to chant the word. When I do this, I am snapping with my right hand. I am pointing to my ear with my left.
I say the word pointing to my ear and then with my left hand I give them an open palm, indicating that it is their turn to return the chant. We do it two or three times. Then I increase the pace. A little bit faster. Then, with a funny voice. They mimic the tone. If they don't, I stop and say, "Class, mimic my tone, please." Next, I find a way to elicit that response in context. Class, I say, Tommy has 113 sisters! Open palm to the class and they say to my cadence with the snapping, "Imagine that!" All told this probably takes 3 to 4 minutes.
The second rejoinder I introduced was "¡Lo que sea!" (whatever!). I did the same thing as with the first. Pointing first to it's English meaning on the whiteboard, then underlining the expression slowly. No sound yet.
I reminded students to make a hypothesis about it's pronunciation. I returned to underlining it by syllable. When I got to the word sea, I paused and said to the class in English, "Class, remember in Spanish when you see a vowel, you say a vowel." I underlined it one more time and then went back to the class, snapping with my right hand pointing to my ear with my left and said the expression with rhythm having them repeat it twice or three times.
T: Class, Carly has 200 cats at home!
T: Class, Jeff likes to eat platypus!
T: Class, Zayn doesn't sing with One Direction anymore!
To each of these, the students responded with either of the two expressions, whichever they felt was the appropriate for the context.
After I presented all three of these, I picked up a stuffed globe that I have for geography games. It's about the size of a soccer ball, but it's stuffed and soft. I introduced the expression, "¡Cuidado!" and quickly put it to use by shouting "¡Cuidado!" and tossing the ball at a student. They sit in their chairs with nothing in their laps or hands. So, responding to this soft ball coming at them was quite easy. After I threw it a few times and had kids pass it back to me, I then encouraged them to throw the ball at each other. But I said, in the TL, "Clase, ¡Cuidado! Primero se grita ¡Cuidado!. Segundo se lanza el balón." And I modeled it once more, slowly. I always avoid modeling the wrong behavior. Just model what you want to see.
Once I'm convinced that my students know the 4 or 5 in the Active Learning space, I move them over to the Mastery wall. There is no English accompanying the expressions on the mastery wall. They're there for reference and I occasionally will Point and Pause to one that's appropriate in the moment that I didn't hear any students use.
These will stay up all year and will grow as the year goes on, organically, according to the expressions needed to make communication happen.
I know a lot of people are working with rejoinders of all types. Some people categorize them. I haven't found that to be exceedingly helpful for my students. But I did find it to be time consuming for me. So, I don't do that anymore. I do try, however, to make sure I have expressions available for different personalities, different contexts, different emotions, etc. So, how are you using rejoinders in your class to help students communicate effectively, accurately and in their own unique way?
← The Secret Password: Can Exclusion Lead to Inclusion?
What does your color coding of the different rejoinders denote (or just for decoration?) I have only two colors – green for 'positive' rejoinders, i.e., , ¡Claro que sí!, Fantástico, Es obvio, Qué emoción, etc; and red for 'negative' rejoinders, i.e., ¡Claro que no!, ¡Qué asco!, No es justo, ¡Mentira!
I love the idea of moving them around the room from novice to active to mastery, and leaving some new ones up there ready to be employed in the moment.
Thanks for your comment and for reading! The posters I have in the Bank are prototype posters so the colors don't match the colors I have on my store. The colors in the store are green, yellow, red and blue. They aren't categorized by positive or negative, but rather by what time of the school year I tend to introduce them. Green are the first 2-3 months-ish or so. Yellow are usually late Nov-Janish. Red are usually Feb-Marchish and blue is usually toward the end of the year.

Though there are many languages I'm eager to discover, German has never been one. Yet as a beginning German student, I found myself drawn in and very eager to keep learning! Our class readings have emphasized the importance of narrative form and emotional investment for connecting students to lessons and helping them create meaning. I thought this was a bit unimpressive. However, it only took the briefest experience as your student for me to see otherwise. I'm grateful for the opportunity you gave us to sit on the other side of the desk and try being beginners again.
I am without appropriate words to express how grateful I am for Grant's investment into my teaching career. I feel that I have been encouraged, stretched, challenged, supported, enlightened, and more. He is a wonderful mentor and colleague.
I have directed the iFLT Conference	for several years, and 2015 was the first year we have ever had to turn students away! We had a waiting list of students who wanted to take classes, and that is a huge testament to Grant's universal success in the classroom, his professional relationship with his colleagues and his stellar reputation in the community as an advocate and a catalyst for highly effective, all-inclusive language instruction.
Grant knows the value of taking risks, and his growth is the result of unmistakable passion and an incredible work ethic.
Grant is one of us that has worked hard over the years to develop his craft–and that can give all of us hope that we can get better too.

Are you trying to find ways to increase your leads but not getting any luck?
To be honest, lead generation is increasingly becoming one of the hardest aspects of the sales process. The number of competitors is increasing by the day, meaning consumers are faced with several choices.
When identifying and cultivating a potential customer for your product, chances are another salesperson has already approached them with a similar product!
But worry not. However tough things look, there is always a solution. And that solution is to turn to the Internet!
In this article, we're sharing various types of online advertising you can use to increase your website traffic.
These days, social networks are the jam!
Consider this: Facebook has 1.9 billion monthly users, Instagram has 700 million active users, and Twitter does about 300 million. Other networks such as Snapchat and Pinterest are also pulling in millions of people.
Almost everybody you know has to be on at least one of these social networks.
As a marketer, what does this tell you? If you want to increase your leads, then you should be advertising on these social networks. As of 2015, 96 percent of businesses were utilizing social media advertising, so you can't afford to be left behind.
However, you need to understand how social networks work in order to make this one of your best performing types of online advertising.
First, you must identify the platforms that will enable you to best target your audience. Next, create business accounts, and then grow your following and social presence. The best way to do this is to post informative and entertain content regularly, and also engage your followers by responding to their comments.
Once you're satisfied you have a sizeable presence, launch your social advertising campaign. This involves buying display ads and promoting your posts to your intended audience.
Many social networks typically provide tools to monitor the performance of various ad campaigns.
Even though social networks are aggressively attracting more and more internet users, search engines still take the giant share of Internet traffic.
Google, for instance, handles 3.5 billion search queries every day and commands 77 percent of all search engine traffic. Bing commands about 7 percent.
Implement effectively, search engine marketing is one of the types of online advertising that can yield a lot of sales leads.
The primary objective of search engines is to rank web pages and provide the more relevant and informative content to web searchers.
As such, to run a search engine ad campaign you must have a well-designed, responsive website with an optimized landing page.
There are two ways to get you web pages on the first page of Google and other search engines: Organically through search engine optimization, or through paid search.
Paid search involves selecting a set of keywords that are relevant to your business, product or service, and creating an ad that will appear on top of other results every time somebody searches for the keywords on your preferred search engines. You pay each time somebody clicks on the ad.
While search engine optimization can be as cheap as free, it takes weeks, even months and years to break into the first page. With paid search, you jump to the first page instantly!
But how do your maximize the effectiveness of your PPC campaign? How do you ensure as many people as possible see the ad and click on it?
The answer is simple: get you keywords spot on.
Use tools such as Google's Keyword Planner (free) or Keyword Discovery (paid) to identify trending keywords in your niche.
The more you get these keywords right, the higher the number of people likely to see, and the more leads you'll get.
You've certainly visited a web page and found banners advertising a certain product or service. This is display advertising, which ranks highly among the most effective types of online advertising.
If you were not interested in purchasing the advertised product, you will likely feel irritated by the banner. But if you were indeed interested in making a purchase, the banner can lead you to the product you wanted. All you need to do is click on it, and it will redirect you to the advertiser site where you can learn more about it.
That's from the buyer's eyes. How do things look like from the marketer's side?
This is pretty straightforward. It works the same way you would select a television channel to run your ads!
You begin by identifying high-traffic sites that attract the audience that's likely to buy your product or service. For example, if you sell fishing hooks, you'll want to find a fishing website with a solid readership.
Next, approach the site owner for an advertising opportunity. Depending on the site's advertising policies, you'll pay to display your banner on the site's pages for a certain period of time.
If you choose the site correctly, display advertising can be one of the best types of online advertising for generating leads.
Why struggle to find display advertising partners when Google can do it for you?
What's more, with Google you will have the power to reach potential customers on the web and in apps – across various devices.
Google gives you a couple of options.
You can display banners or text. You can also create display campaigns to run a specific category of mobile applications.
All you will have to do is log into your Google AdWords account, pick a format, create your ad, select where your ads will run and set a budget.
Once Google approves the ad, it will go live on sites where you customers are likely to hang out. Sit back and wait for potential leads to land on your website!
2017 is the year you should be hitting the record button more than the capture or shoot button!
Videos drive more leads. For instance, did you know real estate listings with video generate 403 percent more inquiries than those without? You don't have to be a real estate agent to reap the benefits of videos!
Evidently, video advertising is among the best types of online advertising strategies to gain more leads.
Begin by identifying the kinds of videos you want to share with your audience. You can do informative or education posts. If you run a fitness studio, for example, you can produce an informative video on the benefits of hitting the gym often.
Other content types include how-to and visual stories. Quality is crucial, so be sure to invest in recording equipment and editing software, or hire a video producer to do the job.
The next step is to identify the platforms where you want to run the video ads. YouTube should be top on your list because it has over 1.5 billion monthly users. You can also run the ads on Facebook, Twitter or Vimeo.
Of all the types of online advertising, email marketing has the highest returns on investment. (A median ROI of 122 percent, according to a 2016 survey).
Regardless of this, most marketers allocate a meager 16 percent of their marketing budgets to email marketing, with a huge junk of the dollars going to search engine and social media advertising.
To get started with your email marketing campaign, build an email list. The most effective way to do this is to encourage your website visitors to subscribe to your email list.
Now, nobody is going to give you their emails unless there is a very good reason to do so.
If your site provides compelling content, ask them to join your list so you can send them new content as soon as it goes live. If you're an online store, you can offer discounts on first orders to customers who subscribe to your lists.
Keep in mind, building an email list is a long-term process. You just need to find ways to incentivize your site visitors to subscribe.
With your list ready, the next thing is to determine the type of campaign you want to send out. You could send a newsletter, marketing offer or event invitation. It all depends on your lead generation strategy.
The success of your email advertising campaign depends on how effectively you craft your message. An attention grabbing header and a compelling call to action are a must.
We have been providing our clients with a platform to purchase targeted pop under visitors for almost 10 years. Our network is designed to allow you to target visitors by both location and demographic using our contextual keyword database. You can start buying traffic for your website by visiting our home page and entering your advertising details into our order form.
Our regular, adult and alexa visitors are all generated via full page pop under promotional methods. To learn more about how our platform operates visit our knowledge base!
So this one sort of falls under social media advertising however, instead of advertising through the platform itself you simply create a list of content creators or influencers in your niche and reach out to them directly. You will be surprised how many are happy to post a link to your product or article for a relatively small amount of money. This can work great for YouTube and Instagram infact you may have heard how well it worked out for a certain Kardashian.
In an overly competitive marketplace, your lead generation strategies can give you an edge over your competitors.
With these different types of online advertising, you now know what you need to do to increase your leads. Find the ones that work for you, and stick to them.
Good luck, and if you have any questions on the various types of online advertising, drop a comment below or get in touch with us.


As a frequent flyer, I've been able to pare down what I actually use while I travel vs. the unnecessary items whose sole purpose is to weigh my carry on bag down. I have dedicated an entire drawer to the products I go back to over and over again which makes packing a breeze. Today, I invited you to open this magical drawer and check out everything that I can't travel without.
Ok, you may be thinking "…don't you just mean headphones?". Nope. Hear me out – over-the-ear headphones are the best because they block sound and cushion your ear so you can lean on them pillow-style. I'd love to see your AirPods do that. Wireless is a no-brainer too – who wants to have your headphones yanked off your head when the person in front of you suddenly sits their seat up?
I've been using my trusty Bose headphones for about four years and they've never done me wrong.
I don't know about you, but I always get phone battery anxiety when I travel. Sure, I have 10 extra chargers in my bag but WHAT IF MY PHONE BATTERY DIES? That's why I always love traveling with a watch. My favorite watch I've ever owned is by Jord (pronounced like Yode). Not only is it a beautiful piece, but it is actually made from recycled wood sourced across the country! I love watched with large easy-to-read faces and no ticking, so it doesn't keep me up on red eye flights.
I have the Cassia Zebra & Ivory model which I adore. The neutral wood design means that it goes with any outfit I pack, and I always get tons of compliments!
Well, any gallon-size resealable bag, really. I like to take my iPad, pop it in, seal the bag, pop a hole at the top and hook it to my tray table lock. Now you've got your own personal in-flight entertainment without having to lower the tray table which takes up valuable lap real estate.
I can't remember the last time I had a physical boarding pass or printed out an itinerary. I am so dependent on my phone that if it suddenly died, I'd pretty much be lost. You can get backup chargers pretty cheaply, but they may only hold one or two charges. I'd recommend one with at least 20,000 mAh like this one so that you can get tons of charges (and peace of mind) for all your devices.
I stumbled across the cutest travel wallet one day at Marshalls and picked it up for 12 bucks – little did I know it would be my go-to travel wallet for years! I never take my huge chunky day-to-day wallet with me when traveling because let's face it – I don't need to be schlepping my high school ID and library card around with me. While Laura Ashley doesn't make the exact wallet I have, this travel organizer is similar to the one I found.
Bags are packed? Next, let's plan a travel outfit that may even get you upgraded to first class!

ACTS Offers Alternatives to Violence Training For Free in Syracuse
Where: Dunbar Center, 1453 South State Street, Syracuse NY 13205, FROM JULY 14th-16th
Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) is a life-changing training program which teaches participants to transform conflict through methods of non-violence. AVP also inspires participants to pass their knowledge along to others in their lives, sometimes spurring first-timers to become leaders in the movement.
AVP's participants often include inmates, gang members, social workers, and activists. Timothy Kirkland, a leader in this first Syracuse training, is himself a former-inmate who changed his life thanks to the AVP workshops he completed while at Attica prison.

Healthcare is a Civil Right: Call Your Senators Today!
CALL BEFORE JULY 4TH
The Senate is gearing up for a vote on their own version of the American HealthcareAct (AHCA) that passed the House last month, and advocates across the country are calling their Senators to make sure that Medicaid, protections for people with pre-existing conditions, seniors, kids, people with disabilities are protected! We must protect the underserved and most vulnerable in our communities.
ACTS and its partners at the National Action Network therefore urge everyone to call their senators before July 4th to tell them "healthcare is a civil right."

Where: Frensdorf Room at Temple Concord, from 12:00-1:30 PM, Address: 910 Madison St, Syracuse, NY 13210
"There is a clear tie-in between the social justice advocacy work of ACTS and the problems disadvantaged people are having getting to/from work. This is all part of the big picture in terms of alternative transportation modes other than an interstate through the center of city," wrote the ACTS Convener for the Moving People Transportation Coalition.
The Moving People Transportation Coalition will host a forum that is free and open to the public. Businesses, social justice activists, and residents all share a common fate when it comes to the infrastructure decisions of Syracuse—for better or worse. Thankfully, there are several initiatives and partnerships that should help create a better transportation network for all. At the Forum, Aaron McKeon from Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council will discuss the "Work Link" project, which aims to provide transportation options to those without vehicles. A spokesperson from Lyft will discuss their ride-sharing project in Upstate New York, which should give people more options in their commute to work, school, or other destinations. For more information, please contact the Moving People Convener at: movingpeoplecny@gmail.com
ACTS Co-Sponsors More Candidate Forums for the Month of July
Monday, July 10th, at 7:00 pm, AND, Monday, July 17th, at 7:00 pm, LOCATION TBA
ACTS and its partners are sponsoring two more candidate forums for upcoming elections in the Syracuse area. The offices up for grabs are spots on the School Board, seats on the Judge's bench, and places in the County Legislature. All these elections will have broad impacts on our livers here in Syracuse, and those of our children. Therefore, ACTS urges concerned citizens to attend these forums to help inform responsible voting decisions.
The previous Forums held for the Mayoral Candidates and County Council Candidates were terrific successes. On both occasions, Syracuse citizens learnec how each candidate will address important issues, such as poverty. On July 10th and the 17th we gather to ask candidates of several positions about their stance on Syracuse's future. With this knowledge, Syracuse will make the right choice. Details of location for each forum are still being determined. We'll see you there!

Together we came closer to our goals. Let's reflect on the vital work we have done:
ACTS and Allies Score Major Victory Against Youth Solitary Confinement
ACTS and its allies at the New York Civil Liberties Union and Legal Services of CNY recently announced a settlement with the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office that ends the routine practice of 23-hour-a-day isolation of youth at the Syracuse Justice Center. The settlement is the accumulation of two years' worth of work by ACTS and its allies against the abhorrently unjust system of youth solitary confinement.
Activists in the Grace Episcopal Church, an ACTS Member Organization, alerted ACTS in 2015 that youth were being held in solitary confinement for weeks at a time. This practice first was noticed in the Onondaga County Justice Center and the Jamesville Corrections Facility, but transferred with the youth to the Syracuse Justice Center. The landmark settlement obtained recently does not end solitary confinement, even within the Syracuse Justice Center, but it does drastically limit its usage in terms of 16 and 17-year-old youth. This is another important step in our mission to end the inhumane practice of solitary confinement, and to dismantle Mass Incarceration in all its forms.

Video footage shows Minn. traffic stop that ended with Philando Castile's death
"Castile was among 963 people fatally shot by police officers last year, according to a Washington Post database tracking such shootings."
ACTS suggests an article about the routine traffic stop that ended in Castile's death. Although our country is served by many police officers trying to do the right thing, there is clearly a systemic problem within law enforcement that allows dangerous or unhinged officers to act outside their prescribed duties. It is time for our community to salvage the discussion over the responsibilities of police and the rights of the citizens they serve. Please comment below to share your thoughts, or share the post to spread the discussion. Please send your opinions and feedback to Ryan Ivers at rivers2@oswego.edu.

Q: How can I add a more rows of buttons in my frame when my hstack is too long in Swift UI? I would like to make the second row appear when my list is too long.
Do you have any idea how to do that?
Thank you in advance!

In pictures: King Kong premiere
One of New York's most famous visitors - he memorably climbed, and fell from, the Empire State Building in 1933 - returned to the city on Monday.
The world premiere of Peter Jackson's remake - starring Adrien Brody and Naomi Watts - prompted New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to declare Monday "King Kong Day".
Security around the giant ape was tight all day - but was Kong being guarded from the public, or the other way round?
Director Peter Jackson had complete creative control of the follow-up to his Lord of the Rings trilogy - he finished King Kong for a record $207m (£116m), $32m (£18m) over budget.
Naomi Watts plays the actress with whom King Kong becomes infatuated, previously played by Fay Wray in 1933 and Jessica Lange in a 1976 remake.
Jack Black appears alongside Watts as the movie producer aiming to exploit the discovery of the giant King Kong - the film's early reviews have been enthusiastic.

Battle for Misrata


With our belongings wrapped tightly in plastic bags and lashed to three body boards, the three of us tentatively wade into the creek. Soon the water is too deep to stand so we use the boards for buoyancy and kick for the other side. Ten minutes later, we're standing on Whangapoua Beach, a long stretch of blindingly white sand backed by grass-covered dunes. Apart from a handful of birds, there's not another soul here.
It's hard to believe we're on New Zealand's fourth-largest island in the middle of the busiest holiday of the year. But that's the appeal of Great Barrier Island – no one seems to know about it. The term "best-kept secret" is overused in travel articles but I honestly don't understand why more people don't come here. It's only a four-hour ferry ride or 30-minute flight from Auckland and awaiting you is a ruggedly beautiful wilderness.

Remember me next time? | I've lost my password
Posted by Craig Borlase on 31 October 2014
"Deeply spiritual and mysterious and misunderstood"
A conversation with a military Chaplain about worship, witness and losing some of the Christian fat.
Rev Adam Jenkins (not his real name), always assumed that he was going to be a traditional parish priest. He imagined that he would be caring for the spiritual needs of eighty, maybe a hundred people from the parish for an hour on a half on a Sunday, while the rest of the week few people beyond the church would be interested in what he did.
But then he became a military Chaplain (padre), and everything changed. "Depending on what's going on in the world there are anything from 1800 to 3000 people on the camp. On a Sunday the congregation ranges from six to twelve people, but you walk around the 'parish' and everybody knows who you are. Everybody knows you're the Christian presence - their Christian presence. They know that you're there for them, praying for them, even if they don't share your beliefs."
The difference is significant, he says. "It's a harder place to be a Christian. You're not surrounded by people who pray all the time and you're not getting carried along by others. It's more gritty, more grounded. But it's a very spiritual existence in a way that you wouldn't think possible looking in from the outside. You're constantly in dialogue about things of faith, things that are spiritual."
The reasons, Adam says, are clear and varied. "There's an element of 'we're all in it together'. They could be deployed at short notice for months overseas, so could I. They're having their pension pinched, so am I. Their spouses find it difficult to get a job because of the transient nature of the job, so does mine.
"The other key part is being in uniform. We have occasional ministers who come in wearing their black shirts and dog collars. On paper that should have the same effect as a military padre, but they don't have the same impact. There's not the incarnational, community basis that we share with the people. With those of us in uniform there's the sense that we're in the foxhole together with them, going through what they're going through."
There's a reason why lots of military padres like the story of Jesus walking along the road to Emmaus. "He's not up front preaching, but walking side by side. People are not entirely sure who he is but he's there anyway. It's deeply spiritual and mysterious and misunderstood."
How much of that is due to the fact that padres get deployed overseas along with everyone else?
"Getting deployed overseas was the one big sticking point before I applied, but when you're in and everyone else is doing it, moving all the time, going away for six to nine months is normal.
The Emmaus connection goes deeper than that, Adam says. "They know if they've got nowhere else to turn, they can come and see their padre and we've got the authority and the uniform to walk into anybody's office on camp and do some chest poking on their behalf. It's a unique role that doesn't really get replicated out in normal parish life."
What of fighting, though? Does faith fit comfortably with war? "I was asked on my interview about my view of war. You're taught throughout your leadership training that war is a political lever, something to get things done. It's out of our control. None of us have anything to do with the decision to send troops overseas, so our view is irrelevant. We've still got to get on with the job. The people on this camp need to do what they're told and they still need a padre who's going to be with them."
Bit by bit, Adam says, he's noticed the change in his faith. "It's like a bit of Christian fat has melted off. What's left is the stuff that's at the core of being a Christian; being with people where they are, praying for them and letting them know that. Anything else is a nice to-have."
Having served his curacy in a town centre church, Adam's view on worship has changed since joining becoming a part of the armed forces. "We don't have impressive Sunday services and I wonder what it means to be a worship leader round here.
"I wonder whether the answer has something to do with going out every day, being the light on the hill rather than the light under the bushel basket. I think I'd go mad if I didn't worship every day through my conversations, I'd wonder what the point was. It would be very depressing to have these conversations with people about how hard their lives were if I didn't feel that I was being that lighthouse, that beacon drawing people in. They might not want to come now, maybe not ever, but they'll take comfort from the fact that on the horizon is that presence."

A Mother's love, the fuel of dreams.
The Fuel of Dreams
When renowned Malaysian stained glass artist Philip Wong first stood before the Louvre in Paris back in 2012, he felt the embrace of the arts all around him. Being in the epicentre of the art world was a dream come true for Philip, but at the same time he felt a sense of regret deep in his heart.
The following year, Philip revisited the Louvre. But this time, he brought his mother along to Paris so that she can experience the romanticism and artistic flair for herself. Standing before the Louvre with his mother, Philip finally felt a real sense of happiness welling from within.
Philips mother has always been his pillar of support on his artistic career despite herself not being schooled in arts. His mother was his strength through thick and thin, and this is why Philip was overcome by a sense of regret when she was not by his side during his first visit to the Louvre.
After all, standing before the temple of arts, all he wanted to do was to share his joy with the most important person in his life --- his mother.
Living Art, My Mother's Way of Life
Born in Seremban, the capital of Negeri Sembilan, Philip Wong is one of Malaysia's most prolific artists and at 47 years of age, has accumulate a wealth of experience in the world of arts. His love for the arts begun at a very young age and he would often spend his time drawing on whatever he could get his hands on. Even at a tender age of 6, Philip has already clearly told his mother that he wanted to pursue fine arts in the future; a passion that has only grown ceaselessly over the decades.
"I believe that the ability for art is something that we are born with and I must have inherited my mother's talent in the field. Her artistic side can be clearly seen in all aspects of her life, from the way she cooks and set up the dishes, to how she organises every detail of her life. She might not be aware herself, but she is definitely showing her immense talent every day."
"Amongst the three siblings, I was the only one to pursue a career associated with the arts. I have been drawing since my kindergarten days and it was only natural for me to enter an art college after finishing my secondary education."
The journey of an artist is not an easy one and Philip can still recall the strong opposition from friends and family when he first started out.
"My mother does not understand fine arts on a deeper level and although she has never shown any real opposition to me pursuing of my dream, there was a point that she too, was worried about my future."
While the pursue of one's dream is a calling, there is still need to put food on the table, and Philip has worked in advertising firms and taught in art college to supplement his income.
The economic crisis that struck 8 years ago was a particularly trying time for Philip. This was the first time he felt the impact of how a poor economy can affect his dreams as he struggled to keep his art gallery afloat. His mother was understandably worried for him during this time as she saw how hard he had to work to keep everything together.
"As far as I remember, that was the first time my mother actually opposed to what I was doing and advised me to wind up the gallery and look for a more stable job."
He does not deny that it was difficult to make ends meet during those years as less people are buying paintings while the rent still needs to be paid. "I kept telling myself to wait patiently for my chance and not to give up on my dream that easily. As I waited, I grew more resolute in my beliefs and am convinced that the day when I can put the worst behind me will come."

Q: Regex for mark scheme I am developing some node js code to parse pdf exam papers and march schemes. I am using regular expressions to convert the mark scheme into JSON.
I need a regEx for capturing both the (a)/(b)/(i) and everything up until the next (a)/(b)/(i)
A sample of the mark scheme:

(a) (iii) Separation of solid
Filter to obtain solid/precipitate
Requires realisation that solid is filtered off.
Solid may be stated within in 'removal of water'
Removal of water
Dry (solid)
OR Evaporate (water/solution/liquid)
2 ALLOW
Removal of water
Evaporate/ distil water/solution/liquid 
IGNORE 'distil' if product OR H2 is distilled
Collection of remaining solid 
Requires realisation that solid remains
IGNORE 'Leave to crystallise' (already solid)
(a) (iv) Formula

in here I would want to capture the (a) and everything up to the next (a) and the (iii) and everything up to the (a) etc.
Here is my (failed) attempt https://regex101.com/r/QetW3f/1
Sorry for my awful explanation.

A: You can use
/\(([a-z]+)\)\s+\(([ixvclmd]+)\)([^(]*(?:\((?![a-z]+\)\s+\([ixvclmd]+\))[^(]*)*)/gi

See the regex demo. Details:

*

*\( - a ( char

*([a-z]+) - Group 1: one or more lowercase ASCII letters

*\) - ) char

*\s+ - one or more whitespaces

*\( - a ( char

*([ixvclmd]+) - Group 2: one or more chars from the set

*\) - a ) char

*([^(]*(?:\((?![a-z]+\)\s+\([ixvclmd]+\))[^(]*)*) - Group 3:

*

*[^(]* - zero or more chars other than (

*(?:\((?![a-z]+\)\s+\([ixvclmd]+\))[^(]*)* - zero or more occurrences of

*

*\((?![a-z]+\)\s+\([ixvclmd]+\)) - a ( char not followed with one or more lowercase ASCII letters, ), one or more whitespaces, (, one or more chars from the ixvclmd set, )

*[^(]* - zero or more chars other than (

Q: What do I need to install to get Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.dll? Do I simply need to install the VS2010 SDK?
Is there such a thing as the TFS2010 SDK, and if so, would that be the thing I need to install, and if so, where can I get it?
On Microsoft's "Extend Visual Studio" web site, I saw a link to example code for the "TFS 2010 SDK" but I could not find the TFS 2010 SDK itself.

The reason I am asking: I am building a codebase that is not mine, which depends on Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.dll .

A: You can find it here :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\ReferenceAssemblies

A: For Visual Studio 2017, the Assemblies are here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer

A: For anyone looking for this in Visual Studio 2012, you can add references without an external download:

A: For visual studio 2015
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.TeamFoundationServer.ExtendedClient/
You can have more details for another similar assembly here:
Where can I find Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client in Visual Studio 2015?

A: You need to install the TFS Team Explorer (i.e. the TFS client tools).
Installing the VS2010 SDK will add documentation etc., but the assemblies come from the client itself.

A: I am using VS 2015 and I found this dll file on path --
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\TestAgent\

A Whole-System Approach to Saving Mothers in Cross River State, Nigeria
This brief documents how the Saving Mothers, Giving Life approach was adapted to the Cross River state context to achieve substantial declines in mortality in its first three years of implementation.
Reducing maternal mortality and ensuring women around the world have equitable access to quality sexual and reproductive health information and services is a global health priority. During the Millennium Development Goal era, the global maternal mortality ratio declined by 45 percent—a significant achievement, but short of the goal of 75 percent. In 2012, the Saving Mothers, Giving Life initiative set out to drastically reduce maternal and neonatal mortality in sub-Saharan African countries over a shorter period of time by addressing the three delays to life-saving care and engaging the private sector. Under Saving Mothers, Giving Life, Uganda and Zambia achieved a 44 percent and 41 percent decrease, respectively, in maternal mortality ratios in initiative-supported districts. Over a three-year period, Nigeria's Cross River state experienced a 66 percent decrease in maternal mortality from baseline assessments within initiative-supported facilities.

The goal of this project was to determine how precisely temperature can be measured using rare-earth ion spectra, and to determine the Stark levels of the rare earth ion multiplets. The absorption spectra of Er-doped silicate glass were studied, and a method was developed to determine temperature change. Emission spectra were used and was calculated from the absorption spectrum by the McCumber method. An uncertainty in temperature of approximately 10K was obtained, and a simplified Stark level model was constructed.


In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, 3/4 cup cream of coconut and egg whites; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes.
Pour into three greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 22-26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For filling, in a small saucepan, combine the evaporated milk, chips, cream cheese, 3 tablespoons heavy cream and remaining cream of coconut; cook and stir over low heat until chips are melted.
Remove from the heat; stir in 1-1/2 cups coconut and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Transfer to a large bowl; cover and refrigerate until mixture reaches spreading consistency, stirring occasionally.
For frosting, in a large bowl, beat remaining cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar and remaining vanilla; beat until stiff peaks form.
Place bottom cake layer on a serving plate; spread with half of the filling. Repeat layers. Top with remaining cake layer. Frost top and sides of cake; sprinkle with remaining coconut. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 12 servings.
