Die M 10 ist eine 69 km lange Fernstraße von "internationaler Bedeutung" in der Ukraine. Sie führt von Lemberg in westlicher Richtung zur polnisch-ukrainischen Grenze bei Krakowez. Ihre Fortsetzung auf polnischer Seite bildet die Autostrada A4 (Polen). Vor 1991 hatte sie im sowjetischen Fernstraßennetz die Bezeichnung A 267. Neben der M 11 gilt sie als Teil der Europastraße 40.

Entlang der Fernstraße M10 ist eine Autobahn in Planung, die an die polnische Autostrada A4 anschließen und bis Lemberg verlaufen wird. Ihre Fertigstellung war zunächst für April 2012 geplant, das Bauvorhaben wurde dann aber aus Geldmangel auf die Zeit nach der EM 2012 verschoben. Stattdessen wurde zur EM 2012 die bestehende M10 instand gesetzt.

Geschichte
Diese Strecke gehörte bis 1918 zum österreichischen Kronland Galizien und trug die Bezeichnung Krakauer Reichsstraße. Sie war eine wichtige Ost-West-Verbindung innerhalb des Habsburger Reiches und wurde aufgrund ihrer großen strategischen Bedeutung ab 1779 unter der Regierung von Joseph II.  zur Chaussee ausgebaut. Innerhalb von zehn Jahren war der Straßenbau von Schlesien bis zur russischen Grenze bei Brody vollendet. In den Anfangsjahren wurden Soldaten und bezahlte Arbeiter für den Straßenbau genutzt, danach kamen die Anwohner durch Fronarbeit zum Einsatz.

Diese Straße lag zwischen 1918 und 1939 auf dem Territorium der Zweiten Polnischen Republik und wurde durch das polnische Straßengesetz vom 10. Dezember 1920 zur Staatsstraße (droga państwowa) erklärt.

Home Events Event: Climate Transparency in Washington D.C. (United States)

Event: Climate Transparency in Washington D.C. (United States)
Washington D.C., 17-18 March 2015; Nearly 30 experts from eleven countries met at the World Bank in Washington D.C. to discuss improving assessment methods for climate action and to explore increased co-operation. The workshop was a follow up to a technical meeting held in Berlin in October 2014.
The Workshop was convened by the co-chairs of the Climate Transparency Initiative, Dr. Alvaro Umaña and Prof. Dr. Peter Eigen, facilitated by Dr. Gerd Leipold and held at the World Bank Group headquarters in Washington DC.
The workshop provided an opportunity to closely analyze and compare existing initiatives to assess climate action. For example, it allowed for a detailed comparison of the Carbon Action Tracker, the Climate Change Performance Index, the Climate Transparency Initiative and the Yale Environmental Performance Index, which enabled a deeper understanding of the differences and complementarities between existing efforts. Crucially, this led to the recognition that the initiatives has brought together cover nearly all of the relevant climate mitigation assessment factors.
Based on the discussion of the workshop, the participants came to a number of conclusions and agreed on follow up actions:
The participants agreed that closer co-operation between different initiatives will lead to a more complete assessment of mitigation efforts.
Assessments of actions by non-state actors (regions, cities, industrial sectors etc.) are at an early stage and do not yet allow evaluation the global effect of these actors. Significant methodological questions will have to be addressed and data quality and quantity will need to be improved.
Assessment efforts on climate adaptation and climate finance were also discussed and the consensus was that they are much less well developed. It was agreed that those assessments will be necessary to review the full range of climate action and will be useful input for the international climate discussions.
The participants agreed that, at this stage, it is difficult to determine the impact of assessments and indices on climate change discussions and negotiations. However, there was consensus that more comprehensive assessments, structured in the form of indices, serve the need for independent MRV. Independent and easy-to-understand assessments of climate actions also have the power to mobilize civil society, private sector and government to influence national and international climate change discussions and negotiations.
A consortium – "Climate Transparency" – will be formed. It will be an open consortium for all qualified initiatives that work on the assessment of climate actions. Climate Transparency will be a platform for existing efforts and not as a competition to them.
For the moment the consortium will have a light governance through the two Co-Chairs Alvaro Umaña and Peter Eigen. The Humboldt-Viadrina Governance Platform (HVGP) will serve as secretariat.
CT will produce a joint composite picture (not a composite index yet) of the climate action by the G20 countries before the Paris conference.
Post 2015 Climate Transparency will explore and possibly extend its work to also include assessments for adaptation actions and climate finance. To this end, the co-operation with relevant institutions that work on these will be sought.
From 2016 onwards Climate Transparency work towards a common conceptual framework for mitigation action and will eventually include adaption action and climate finance.
The participants agreed that participation of experts from middle income and developing countries should be strengthened in the future.

How difficult will it be to port the code to clojurescript?
I'll watch that talk once I have a little spare time. However, I assume it suggests cljx for simultaneous clj and cljs development?
org.clojure/tools.reader: This is used for reading simple tokens. Could be replaced with cljs.reader.
fast-zip: A faster zipper implementation. Could be replaced with clojure.zip.
potemkin: Used for generating the zipper API facade. Lots of macros. Even if not directly usable, the API can still be exposed manually.
So, I think this can be done with a reasonable amount of work.
I'm also interested in ClojureScript version.
(prn/print-edn (p/parse-string "(defn my-function [a]\n (* a 3))"))? So I basically want to reformat clojure code in ClojureScript application.
Hi, is this still an interest? I'd be happy to get started on this feature.
Would you rather fast-zip be replaced with clojure.zip, or that the cljs version use clojure.zip and the clj version use fast-zip?
How are you soon the port? As a seperate project or using cljx?
I'd go with clojure.zip in this case for both as I don't really have a problem with the speed up for fast-zip and it's neater... @xsc what do you think?
Clojurescript support would be really neat !
The good news is that I haven't spent more than a day or so, but got quite a lot of it up and running. The bad news perhaps is that I've gone down the route of creating a rewrite-cljs rather than the cljx route.
I have no experience with cljx. With cljc gaining traction/maturity that might be a better option in the longer run.
My primary use case is for using the lib from Light Table to provide clojure/clojurescript refactoring support and perhaps/hopefully better paredit support in LT. LT unfortunately currently uses a very old ClojureScript version, that probably wont change in the very near future.
Since I haven't really commited that much effort into it yet, It's not to late to turn the ship around though.
Several options and I'd like to hear your thoughts !
You would have to be willing to take on the extra effort of supporting cljs !
@rundis I'd say, go for a 'rundis/rewrite-cljs' (maybe forking this repo so the necessary changes are documented?). Once Clojure 1.7. is out and adoption increases we can have another look at the cljc way.
Thank you for taking that matter into your hands!
Now that we have both .cljc and a cljs port of tools.reader, any thoughts on moving this forward? As I understand it, .cljc will break compatibility with clj <1.7, and midje will need to go.
Maybe rewrite-cljc deserves its own project?
I'm using rewrite-clj in refactor-nrepl and I'd love to see support for consuming cljc files.
Most the community has opted to adopt cljc without worrying about consumers running other versions of clojure. Given that, I don't think the extra effort is warranted. I tried keeping refactor-nrepl backward compatible but that was completely hopeless if I ever wanted access to new functionality. Thankfully upgrading clojure to a new version is relatively painless, given core's attention to backward compatibility.
@xsc The world has moved on and Clojure 1.7 and ClojureScript 1.7 is starting to become more and more mainstream. Maybe it's time to bring ClojureScript support to rewrite-clj.
I think it's worth considering bringing rewrite-cljs back into rewrite-clj (where it belongs imho). rewrite-cljs has had it's place up until now, but it seems wasteful to continue duplicating efforts.
The two projects have diverged somewhat over time, but in essence they are mostly still similar.
@rundis I agree that adoption has spread and there's nothing speaking against integrating the ClojureScript version (and the Clojure version has generative tests now which should be easier to port to CLJS than the midje ones).
As I wrote in another ticket, I'm currently re-evaluating my projects. Now, rewrite-clj, I wrote it for a specialized purpose - upgrading dependencies in project.clj files - which is covered by the existing functionality; so I'm not as invested in further development as I probably should be. I feel this provides a frustrating experience both to contributors (who I'm very much indebted to) and me.
So, I'll just ask: Seeing the awesome work you've done for rewrite-cljs, would you want to take over this project?
@xsc Sorry for the late reply. I've got to think this through. Since I did rewrite-cljs I've sort of joined the Light Table open source team and have to consider how to handle my already limited spare time.
@rundis No problem, and thanks for your reply!

Bermuda's champion triathlete Flora Duffy has announced that she'll not be on the start line for this year's World Triathlon Series in Bermuda, due to a long-standing injury that prevents her from running.
In making the announcement, she said, "Of course I hoped I would be ok to line up in Bermuda, but that is not the case. I had to really back off training, unload and let the tendon heal. Brutal news to announce."
"We're right with Flora as she works her way back to full fitness and winning races again. We know that Bermuda will support her with every swim, bike and run as she trains towards next year's Tokyo Olympics", she said.
Meanwhile Flora still wants to be involved in the event as much as possible. Her injury is only preventing her from competitive running at this time, so she now intends to form a relay team to compete in the Age Group race on Saturday morning. Hometown crowds will be able to see the former World and Commonwealth Champion compete in the bike leg through the streets of Hamilton.
Flora will also be very involved with World Triathlon Bermuda 2019 festivities as an ambassador throughout the weekend, creating opportunities for her Bermuda fans to see her on each day of the event. Details of her appearances will be publicised this week.
The MS Amlin World Triathlon 2019 on April 27th, 2019 is the second of three annual World Series Triathlon events that Bermuda will host; in 2021 the island will be home to the ITU Grand Final and Age Group World Championships. The event's Title Sponsor is MS Amlin and the Main Sponsors are Hamilton Princess & Beach Club, BF&M, BTA, NTT and Royal Gazette. The City of Hamilton's support also contributes significantly to the success of the event.


Different regions have different plans for the sale of recreational marijuana.
In British Columbia, the provincial Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) will handle wholesale distribution and online sale of marijuana. Marijuana will be sold in both public and privately run stores. The minimum age to purchase cannabis would be 19, which is the same as the legal drinking age. Adults in British Columbia will be allowed to grow up to four plants per household, but landlords and strata councils can restrict or prohibit cultivation and smoking in properties.
Vancouver and Victoria have already set up regimes for dispensing marijuana but other municipalities, such as Richmond, will be allowed to reject cannabis shops altogether if so chosen.
In Alberta, cannabis would be sold online through a Government of Alberta website and retailed through privately operated storefront dispensaries. Age limits for purchase and consumption of cannabis would be set at 18, which coincides with the legal drinking age.
The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) will be in charge of distributing legal cannabis to private retailers in a model similar to how it handles beer, wine and spirits. The AGLC will also be responsible for licensing retailers.
Smoking or vaping cannabis will be prohibited in the same public locations where smoking is banned, including bars and restaurants. Consumption will be banned for school properties, daycares, hospital grounds, and places where children frequent, like pools, playgrounds and sports fields.
In Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority will be in charge of distribution and will issue about 52 retail permits to private operators in roughly 32 municipalities and First Nation communities. Eligible First Nations and municipalities will have the option to opt out of having a retail cannabis store.
The minimum age for cannabis use will be 19, which is the same as the province's legal drinking age.
The province also announced that each household will be allowed up to four cannabis plants. There is also a limit of 30 grams of cannabis per consumer.
In Manitoba, the Liquor and Gaming Authority (LGA) will regulate the purchase, storage, distribution and retail of cannabis while the Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Corporation (MBLL) will secure and track supply of cannabis sold in the province. The private sector will be responsible for retailing the product.
In early December, the government said that the minimum age to buy pot would be 19, a year older than the provincial drinking age of 18.
The public would be able to order pot online through retailers who also have a storefront, but would be barred from growing it at home unless they had a medical licence.
In Ontario, marijuana will only be sold by the Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation, a subsidiary of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. Starting next summer, the OCRC will operate 40 stand-alone marijuana shops, increasing to 150 stores by 200.
Usage will be restricted to private homes and consumption will continue to be outlawed in all parks and other public places as well as in vehicles.
Eligible individuals would be permitted to grow up to four cannabis plants for personal use.
The minimum age to purchase and possess recreational cannabis in Ontario would be 19.
Ontario will ban the public consumption of marijuana.
In Quebec, the Société Québécoise du Cannabis (SQC) will be allowed to purchase cannabis from a producer, ensure its transportation and storage, and sell it, with certain exceptions. The SQC will open 15 physical stores around the province where cannabis products will be sold and will also offer online sales.
The minimum age to purchase and possess recreational cannabis in Quebec could be 18. This might jump to 21.
The legislation would bar people from growing cannabis for personal use at home. Smoking marijuana would only be allowed in the same locations where people are currently allowed to smoke a cigarette.
In New Brunswick, a Crown corporation and new subsidiary of NB Liquor will set up a network of 20 stand-alone, government-run stores that will be dedicated to selling cannabis.
The stores will be set up in 15 communities across the province.
Online sales will also be allowed, but the details haven't been worked out yet: One option is "click and collect," which would see customers order online but go to a retail store to pick up their cannabis. Another is delivery by trained staff, who check identification at the door.
Under the province's Cannabis Control Act, the minimum age for buying cannabis will be set at 19.
In Newfoundland and Labrador, in line with its minimum drinking age, users will have to be 18 years old to purchase and use cannabis products.
Pot will be sold in approved private stores, with distribution handled by the Newfoundland and Labrador Liquor Corporation (NLC). In some areas, though, NLC may be the retailer, too.
Online sales will also be an option.
But wherever people buy it, they're going to be barred from smoking pot on public property.
In Nova Scotia, cannabis will be sold through some, though not all, Nova Scotia Liquor Corp. outlets as well as through online sales. This means that at some locations, a customer can buy cannabis at the same location where they buy alcohol.
The sale of cannabis will initially be restricted to nine stores.
Although the sale of marijuana plants will be permitted when federal government legalizes the drug, it's unclear where in Nova Scotia those seedlings will be sold.
A possession limit of 30 grams per person and a household growing limit of four plants.
The government has announced the legal age for consumption will be 19 years old.
In P.E.I., cannabis will be sold in four government stores across the Island, as well as online.
The government stores will sell seeds and seedlings in addition to dried cannabis and cannabis oil.
Consumption of cannabis will be limited to private residences and some exceptions for designated spaces.
Adults will be allowed to carry up to 30 grams with them. People will also be allowed to have up to four plants, provided minors don't have access to them.
The legal age for buying cannabis will be 19 years old.
According to the territorial government website, Yukon will, "own and operate at least one retail store and provide an e-commerce option." Cannabis will not be sold where alcohol is also sold.
The Yukon government will alone control the import and distribution of legal marijuana in the territory, and set the legal age for buying, using or growing pot at 19 years of age.
The proposed Yukon legislation aligns with the federal government's plans to cap the possession limit for pot at 30 grams, and limit the number of plants you can grow at home, to four.
In Northwest Territories (N.W.T.) Adults will be allowed to grow marijuana at home under the proposed plan, but will be limited to four plants.
The N.W.T Liquor Commission will control the importation and distribution of cannabis, whether through retail outlets or by mail-order service run by the liquor commission. The N.W.T. will allow cannabis and liquor to be sold in the same establishment.
In the N.W.T., personal possession will be set at 30 grams "of dried cannabis or its equivalent in a public place."
The minimum legal age at which someone can purchase and consume cannabis is 19 years in the NWT. Adults will be allowed to smoke at home, while public smoking will be prohibited in certain areas to protect others against second-hand smoke.
Communities in the N.W.T. will be able to "hold a plebiscite to prohibit cannabis, similar to the options currently available to restrict alcohol."
The Nunavut government has not yet unveiled its plan or released the results of its survey regarding pot legalization.
Regarding taxation, the public already expected that there would be some form of a sin tax on marijuana products. According to a 2016 report by Canada's Parliamentary Budget Officer, initial federal tax revenue from cannabis sales would be around $618 million and then rising to potentially $1 billion.
At first the federal excise tax, or sin tax, was to be a shared 50/50 with the provinces and territories and would not exceed $1 a gram or 10 per cent of the producer's price, whichever is higher. But the provinces and territories lobbied for more of a share of the tax, so it was changed to be 75 per cent share of the tax, with the maximum to be taken by the federal government $100 million per annum, with any excess paid to the provinces and territories.
The idea that tax revenue could be used by the provinces for drug awareness campaigns and drug treatment costs has helped to assuage some concerns from social groups who were wary of drug sales or the impact of the easier access to recreational marijuana will have on society.
This is the second part of a two-part series on cannabis in Canada. Read part one here.

Actor: Clark Gable
Posted by Robin - G+ on Nov 28, 2009 in Actor | Comments Off on Actor: Clark Gable
Yep, regardless of all the other movies he made, he'll always be Rhett Butler to us. Uploaded by assets.nydailynews.com.
Admit it. When you hear "Clark Gable," you think "Rhett Butler." Gable was an excellent actor who appeared in many movies and won lots of acclaim, but he'll always be Rhett Butler to us.
Most actors have a career role, but seldom has there been a man so prominent in a movie as successful as Gone With the Wind. Gable had already won the Oscar for Best Actor in It Happened One Night (1934), in which he and Claudette Colbert made a delightful team. And he received another Best Actor nomination for Mutiny on the Bounty (1935). So he already was one of Hollywood's biggest stars when GWTW came along. But as great as those performances were, Clark Gable is Rhett Butler.
Uploaded by z.hubpages.com.
Gable's career actually began in silent movies and lasted until 1961's The Misfits, in which he co-starred with Marilyn Monroe in her final film. He worked opposite Joan Crawford eight times, Myrna Loy seven times, and Jean Harlow six times. But it's that one movie opposite Vivien Leigh that has stayed with us.
He appeared in 81 movies in all, and you really can't say he had a huge hit after 1939. Maybe he just became a bad judge of scripts. Maybe he just had bad luck. Or maybe it's that even Hollywood producers always saw him as…you know.
Doris Day summed up Clark Gable this way: "He was as masculine as any man I've ever known, and as much a little boy as a grown man could be – it was this combination that had such a devastating effect on women."

New Release: The Rainbow Detective Agency; The Wedding; Bus Driver Slams Kids with Gay Dads; "Divine" Had a Chainsaw; Do Gay Men Worry Too Much About Aging?
Bus Driver Slams Kids with Gay Dads
This is why Tony and I choose to live in New Hope, PA, because it is, and has been for years, a gay enclave on the East Coast. It's like Provincetown, or WeHo, with a huge concentration of LGBT people and very progressive mainstream people.
Not everyone makes the same choices, and I give those people credit for being brave enough to endure small town mainstream USA. Unfortunately, they have to deal with some serious discrimination. Some school bus driver wielding a bible thought it was her duty to let the child of two gays dads know how she feels about that.
From the dad's POV…
Just this week our 15-year-old son's bus driver was listening to her "Christian" radio station while driving the school bus, giving him religious propaganda — in the form of a comic book — with Jesus as Superman and the rest of us poor citizens of Gotham living a dark dreary life until we accept the Man of Steel as our Lord and savior. Why has she taken it upon herself to volunteer this information? He already subscribes to all the teenage angst: attempting to fit in, questioning his parents' beliefs and doubting his self confidence. As my son listened to the religious Sermon on the Mount…or rather the Sermon on the Bus, he discussed with the driver that he had two fathers. She imparted her wisdom unto him; she doesn't have a problem with homosexuals, but "they are not blessed, and they will go to hell."
You can read the rest here. It's a painful story, but filled with insight, about what it's like to be living in the heart of the mainstream if you're considered a "gay" family. And, this happened in New Jersey, not somewhere in the deep south. It can happen anywhere.
"Divine" Had a Chainsaw
I remember the first time I learned about "Divine." I was in high school and didn't know much about the gay community or culture. At the time, I had no idea how important Divine was to gay culture or the impact she would continue to have so many years later.
Here's John Waters on Divine…
I think he changed drag queens forever. RuPaul's show wouldn't be there. RuPaul started a long time ago, I've got to give him some credit, and RuPaul also has a great look out of drag, something that Divine struggled with. Except towards the end, when he wore men's suits and looked like a very handsome, distinguished man…His legacy was that he made all drag queens cool. They were square then, they wanted to be Miss America and be their mothers. Divine frightened drag queens because he would show up with a chainsaw and [makeup artist] Van Smith would put fake scars on his face, wearing mini skirts when you're 300 pounds. He broke every rule. And now every drag queen, every one that's successful today is cutting edge."
You can check this out here.
Do Gay Men Worry Too Much About Aging?
Hell yes. I do. I haven't had a carb since last May. I eat salad at least two nights a week. I haven't had pizza, donuts, or ice cream in over a year. I run four miles every morning, plus work out. I will, indeed, have cosmetic surgery when the time comes. (I've already had one thing done.) And I'm not too fond of celebrating birthdays anymore.
Evidently, I'm not the only gay man who feels this way. Here's a quote by John Grant…
This aging thing is quite strange. I don't want to generalize too much, but gay men worry about aging a lot more than other men, from what I can tell.
Youth is prized above all things — the beauty of youth — and I know a lot of gay men who are very, very obsessed with keeping young.
I don't understand it in most of their cases. I think older men are super sexy. The 'beauty of youth' thing, I totally get that. But by God! I would not want to be where I was in my 20s. I was clueless!"
I had a friend who used to say, "You're young for a short time and old for a very long time." And he was a gay man, too. When he died, he had them make him ten years younger on his tombstone. I swear that's the absolute truth. I never knew his real age until he died. And I once went to a birthday party for a gay friend that his straight sister threw for him. It was a surprise party. But the surprise was on him. He told everyone he was 55, when the huge happy birthday banner hanging at the party read, "Happy 65th Birthday." It was NOT a happy moment for him, but very amusing for the rest of us.
Side note: I do, however, have a little Dove Chocolate every now and then. It compensates for everything else 🙂

Yasmine and I have known of each other for years, and I have always wanted to photograph such a beautiful soul. So when she got married and moved out here to Cali, I was so ecstatic when she wanted to shoot with me! I got to know her and Ali throughout the session, and their love for each other was so beyond gorgeous. Getting the honor to capture such raw and authentic beauty between them, means everything. They made this session with all that LOVE! I seriously couldn't pick a few of my faves, because there are so many good ones! Thank you two again for letting me capture you both! I wish you guys endless smiles, love and happiness for a lifetime!


You've probably heard that Midway's in a bit of a financial bind right now, a bit hungry for cash. How can they turn it around? Maybe with an iPhone game? Maybe with five of 'em?
Well, the Chicago-based developer/publisher is giving it a go, announcing a quintet of iPhone and iPod Touch-bound games for later this month. All five fall under the Touchmaster brand — this isn't Mortal Kombat Touch, folks, but pretty, colorful App Store appropriate fodder.
Prismatix, Dice King, Combo 11, Carpet and Spellwinder will hit the iTunes App Store by end of January, giving Touchmaster flashbacks to the regularly inebriated and lonely bar patron. Each is just 99 cents, with all five bundled for $3.99.
Say, you know what would be great? Hydro Thunder. On anything.

TV News a la carte.
I'm laptopping this week from San Antonio, the brutally hot-and-muggy site of the annual grand bazaar of broadcast news. The Radio and Television News Directors Association conference has a collection of seminars and speakers that gives it a thin veneer of legitimacy, but the get-together really centers around an exhibition of the stuff sold in the name of "improving" newscasts.
So, get out your checkbook:
You can pick up a new news set here, all gleaming chrome and rich wood, for fifty grand and up (WSB's new set was way, way more than that), or you can buy a Forward Looking Infrared Radar for your news helicopter-and if you don't have a chopper, they're had at the RTNDA for a price, too.
But why buy a real set when something upwards of six figures will get you a virtual set, changeable at the click of a mouse, always perfectly lit and scuff-free?
Shop for satellite trucks in aisle 1, and duck inside a Sony booth crammed with cameras and tape machines in aisle 2. Automation systems and robotic cameras, sit next to weather computers that will spin you sickeningly in three dimensions around the meteorological disturbance du jour. (Be thankful: you've been spared the experience of listening to Texas-accented weatherfolk trying to pronounce "Georges..")
But transcending all the pricey hardware is the real commodity: programming. I'm talking reporting, features, and even those sweeps week specials that are poured identically into newscasts around the country.
Pick up customized live shots a la carte from Fox NewsEdge (they say it's "the feed you need") or the enormous CNN Newssource booth plopped in the exact center of the exhibition floor. For a price, you can get reporters you've never heard of reciting stale facts from the wires while they stand in front of the crashed plane, bus, or Presidency. A quick packaged report, and then the moment news directors are really paying for-when the guy at the crash site-live!-answers questions and tosses "back to you, Amanda and Russ." And moments later, he's saying "back to you, Stacey and Tom" to some other place, some other audience fooled by this televised slight-of-hand.
News Directors, faces painted with the anxiety of job insecurity, ask the sales person to make them just as cool as KCBS, or to get that WSVN kind of impact. Deals are made with a snappy exchange of cards and email addresses, and yet another market (we all live in a market, y'know) looks a little bit more like everyplace else. Think it's only in Atlanta that stations are "live, local, and latebreaking," "dedicated, determined, and dependable", with "coverage you can count on"?
You know better.
But do the NDs? As fewer and fewer people watch local newscasts, more and more of what is poured into these broadcasts is pre-chewed, unoriginal, over-consulted, and if you ask me, unwatchable. So fewer people watch.
The programmers of television news might catch on to the pattern here. Sometime.
But until then, and for now, we're live in San Antonio. I'm your name here, Eyewitness News. Back to…uh…back to you.
The past future of television.
I watched a tape of the future of television the other day–but it was an old tape of an old future. My friend had been to a reunion for employees of the first experiment in interactive television, and he brought back a dusty VHS filled with 1977-vintage optimism (and fashions).
They called it Qube (pronounced as if they had meant to type a 'C'), and it was run by what is now Time Warner out of a remodeled appliance store in Columbus, Ohio. It would qualify as mediocre cable today–offering an then-unprecedented 30 channels of television. Ten 'premium', or pay-per-views. Ten local and regional channels. And since there was no national programming to speak of– HBO was a newborn, and WTBS (then called WTCG) snuck into a few cable homes via satellite–the Qubians spent what was then a bundle concocting hours of original, often-live, local programming to fill up those last ten blank spaces.
Imagine how stunning this was at the time–thirty channels! Why, that was, like, unlimited choice! Endless entertainment! This ancient tape showed interviews with experts who sagely predicted that this might just be too much of a good thing, that people couldn't cope with that many channels of television. But heads didn't explode, at least as far as I remember. Those same predictors added, by the way, that no matter how popular cable became, it would never make much of a dent in the audience share of the big three networks.
This bounty of choice was dialed up by proto-couch-potato Ohioans on a chunky remote control the size of a fat Bible, wired, yes, wired to a large set-top box. But what was cool, what made this must-have TV was a row of five buttons down the right side that gave viewers–gasp!–the ability to "talk back to their television set." At any time, the hosts of "Columbus Alive!" or "Mr. Qubesumer" (terrifyingly and unquestionably Clark Howard's direct ancestor) could ask the viewers of America's Most Generic City their opinions on…well, how they liked their eggs. "Touch now!", the flashing screen commanded, and moments later, the breathless hosts reported that 32% like them sunny side up, and…gee, it's hard to see why this two way TV never caught on.
The real irony is, in and around the "Touch now" crap, there was actual, watchable (if uneven) locally-produced programming, including a channel for kids that evolved into Nickelodeon, sports coverage and local politics. It was stuff that hasn't been consulted into a national melange that looks the same whether you're in Georgia, Oregon, or Kansas. The local programming isn't why they did it–the two-way features gave them a great excuse to wire the city into the impulse-buy heaven of pay-per-view, and in the days before video stores, that was a very attractive deal.
But it did fill a void, and here and now, in our city, amidst dozens of channels of indigestible "choice", I'd touch any button you've got for some local programming that feels like here…like us, like how we like our eggs.

Q: It's possible to create a C# package that doesn't need anything else to works in any PC with? I have an application in C# that I made in Visual Studio 2012 and I need people to test it. The only way I have found to send my application is to publish it and send the setup.exe with the other files, but, if someone wants to use it, they need to install .NET framework (as far as I know) and it asks to install VisualBasicPowerPacksSetup (I'm not sure what it is, but it asked when I tried to install in other PC) first. Is there a way to make a package of files (like needed dll or something) that the receiver can just download all the files in one folder and execute or install it without needing to install other separated things?
thanks.

A: No this is not possible, due to the fact that various versions of windows (All Server versions, and XP) don't have the .NET Framework installed by default. Furthermore Microsoft is quite clear that windows is not a distribution platform for the .NET Framework, MFC, ATL, or MSVC (all versions) and that you are required to make sure that the redistributes are distributed with your application, or installed from their servers.

Universal or Particular?
If trying to have it both ways is your definition of Anglicanism, then the recent statement by the Archbishop of Canterbury about the Denver Consecrations will have been music to your ears.
At a time when a major row is brewing in the Roman Church about where ultimate authority lies – in the Church Universal, and so the Papacy and the Curia (Ratzinger); or in the local or particular Church, and so with individual diocesans (Kasper) (see Way we Live Now, July) – Dr Carey has taken both sides in one letter.
He tells the Archbishop of South East Asia that 'I gave no authority to the Province of South East Asia in 1996, to consecrate bishops for service elsewhere in the world'. He also says: 'I cannot recognise John Rodgers and Chuck Murphy as bishops in communion with me unless they are fully reconciled to the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church.'
In the first statement Dr Carey is claiming an authority and primacy which he does not have. The first two provinces of the 'Anglican Communion' – Scotland and the USA – were not inaugurated by an Archbishop of Canterbury, nor even, in the first instance, owed allegiance to one. So begins the problem.
In the second statement he asserts a doctrine of episcopal territoriality which, in a fellowship of Churches where orders are no longer equivalent and interchangeable and where jurisdictions with differing ecclesiologies overlap one another (as for example in continental Europe), is self-evidently untenable.
At one level Ratzinger and Carey see eye to eye: they both, apparently, believe in a universal primacy which guards the essential values and doctrines of the Church. Where these two great minds differ is on what those values are. Ratzinger believes the primacy exists to uphold and guarantee the Apostolic deposit of faith. Dr Carey (more in tune here with Kasper than Ratzinger) believes that its role is to uphold and defend the rights of local Churches in their own distinctive heterodoxies. To be 'reconciled' with the Presiding Bishop of ECUSA is, on important matters, to be at variance with most of the rest of the Communion, including Dr Carey.

PRESENTATION OF EXPLORATORY PROPOSAL FOR THE SETTING UP OF AN EDUCATION GRANTS PLATFORM UNDER THE GENERATION90 EDUCATION ENDOWERMENT FUND(GEEF)
Good day Ladies and Gentlemen,
My presentation will commence by listing the problems, challenges and/or constraints facing the GEEF Program. You would also be patient with me while I also list the problems that will militate against the success of the proposal if it is to be implemented.
The proposal is in numbered sequence to allow for item by item deconstruction as may be required:
GEEF is faced with expanding requirements and dwindling and/or insufficient resources.
GEEF targets for students to support are not being easily met.
GEEF outreach to G90 outsiders has not been hugely successful.
Emerging from the immediate successes of the GEEF program and the above-listed challenges, it is believed that it is time for Generation 90 to set up a crowdfunding platform to connect needy students to sponsors, mentors, and supporters.
What is crowdfunding? Crowdfunding (a form of crowdsourcing) is the practice of funding a project or venture by raising monetary contributions from a large number of people, today often performed via Internet-mediated registries, but the concept can also be executed through mail-order subscriptions, benefit events, and other methods. A digital excursion on the internet will bring you to crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter, NaijaFund etc.
I asked the Welfare Officer who has kept the GEEF Program alive what he thought militates against the raising of funds from the public in Nigeria and this was his answer. "The success of such a platform in Nigeria these days is narrow due to the fact that many people have come to know that fraudsters hide under the guise of NGOs to defraud people. For obvious reasons, a call to such aid may not yield expected results but one can equally give it a try."
I read this message off our WhatsApp group," Good day all pls here is a reminder: this is August and our GEEF Appeal Cards should be returned by the first week of December 2016. Thank you"
To best tackle all these and meet or surpass our set goals for GEEF we must innovate. We have been gifted with tools to explore our world far beyond boundaries ever imaginable and we must take full advantage of these tools to advance our cause. G90, through GEEF, having shown that it is distinctly possible to intervene in the academic pursuits of indigent but intelligent students and pupils should, using its past successes as a springboard, evidence of competence and proof of concept, reach across to millions of people and organizations across world to help poor Nigerian kids have access to the education that will provide them with the tools to survive in an ever increasing and competitive knowledge-driven world. If ISIS can recruit for evil from anywhere in the world why can't we recruit for good?
GEEF can create a crowdfunding platform for example ( www.edugrants.org) where students who need help can be listed and public-spirited individuals and organizations who believe that by giving, humanity is served to connect to them. These sponsors, supporters or mentors may choose to fully sponsor listens or contribute a token to the general fund that will be administered by GEEF. The platform will contain past success stories, ongoing interventions, list of waiting for students, list of supporters or sponsors and a payment channel for seamless payments. The finer details of the management will be dealt with later as it is not the intent of this presentation to delve into that.
To tackle the issue of integrity and skepticism by the Nigeria public and even the international community we must be ready to deploy and showcase our proof of concept and evidence of success, expertise and experience, contact and network, integrity and endorsement from entertainment stars like Julius Agwu, Kanu Nwankwo, Francis Duru and others that we may have access to.
Today with our GEEF cards and the Welfare Officer working to seek out students we have access to only as many persons that are known and approached by the 32 members of G90 and the numbers of schools the Welfare Officer and his GEEF committee can reach. But with the platform and the internet, we can reach 3,424,971,237 people who have access to internet across the world with 86,219,965 of them in Nigeria.
We may, as we prepare to upgrade our website, consider bundling this platform with it or request for expert advice from our prospective web designer.
The question is can we do it, yes we can. Should we do it, yes we should.
My personal take on education interventions is that they should be repayable grants or loans other than outright scholarships. This allows for sustainability and

Since Ole [Gunnar Solskjaer] came in we talked about this, we want to be at the top, in the top four. Sound for this one, Reds.
Since Solskjaer's arrival, Pogba, now deployed in a free-roaming role that better suits his personality, has been directly involved in more goals, either scoring or assisting, than any other Premier League player. They put us under pressure in the first 10 minutes but after we scored I thought we were excellent.
It wasn't just due to his goals that Pogba had a great game but it was more so how he dictated the game, slowing down and raising the tempo as it suited him.
A win for United would see them over take fourth-placed Chelsea, and with the Blues travelling to title-chasing Manchester City on Sunday, there is no guarantee of a response.
And as we head towards the final phase of the season, Fulham are sinking further into the relegation scrap, having acquired just seventeen points in 26 matches and are in desperate need of a miraculous turnaround if they are to maintain their top-flight status next season. "There were some good performances today, I have to say".
"(Being in the top four) is a big thing", conceded Solskjaer. But like I said there is still a very long way to go and we have big games coming up and it's not going to be easy. "It's a good sign, even though we have to carry on to stay there".
"We started very well", he said. "We've done really well in the 11 games we've played, but that's down to the team effort", he said. I think in the first half we didn't control the game but we scored two goals and after that we got another and then controlled it.
"Manchester have champions in their squad and kept possession of the ball - for us it was then more hard. We could have had four or five goals, it was different to what we did against Leicester so another step in the right direction". "When you play against champions you have to stay calm and not lose your composure - that is the real problem".


The other day I was surfing the great wide web. Normally my Google searches focus around shopping centers and the fast track to my Netflix account, but I decided to switch things up and do some light research on one of my favorite food groups: Chocolate.
If chocolate stems from beans, I'm officially calling chocolate a special vegetable.
1) Cocoa farmers crack open the pods, scoop out the seeds, ferment them and dry them.
2) The beans are shipped to factories all over the world, where manufacturers inspect and clean them, then roast and grind them into a dense liquid called chocolate liquor. 3) More pressing, rolling, mixing with sugar and other ingredients, and heating and cooling finally yields this delicious treat.
Thankfully, we have the luxury of going to the store and buying the finished form. If you are unlike me and have a semblance of baking skill, then you might go above and beyond by making your own chocolate goodies (if so, bless your skilled hearts). I can hold my own when it comes to a box brownie mix, but anything after that, well, that's what bakeries and grandmas are for.
If you have a hankering for sampling chocolate creations, check out the Kendall Young Library Festival of Chocolate.
The event is set for this Sunday, Jan. 28 from 2-4 p.m. Participants can enter one or more recipes in four categories of chocolate: Bars, cakes, candy, and cookies.
Try your hand a new cupcake recipe or favorite homemade brownies and bring enough to share!
This is a fantastic way to support The Friends of the Kendall Young Library, as the funds collected from this event help support fun future library activities.
Tickets for the Festival of Chocolate are available for $10 at the library checkout desk. Tickets will also be available for purchase the day of the event and at the door.
For more information, or to get an entry form, contact Ketta Lubberstedt-Arjes at Kendall Young Library at 832-9100.
If you need a fun family activity to do this weekend, have a baking adventure in your kitchen and bring the results to the Festival of Chocolate!


2019 – new year, new marketing techniques. Creating a confident, professional online presence is never out of style, but here are some tips to help you keep on top of 2019's most popular trends with the latest social media marketing techniques.
First impressions count, and online, they are everything. The format of a page, from the colours to the font size, can make the difference between someone staying to find out more and clicking elsewhere.
There's no excuse for low quality content in 2019 - even personal accounts are beginning to look professional, organised into colour schemes with edited photos gracing every page.
This means good quality photographs on social media accounts and websites are essential for competing on even the most basic level. Make sure you carefully consider every post, including clever captions under high quality, relevant photos: these details will make a world of difference.
A picture can speak a thousand words. And with modern attention spans growing shorter and shorter, often they really need to. More often than not people are gathering most of the information they need with a cursory glance rather than poring over pages of copy. The likes of Instagram are beginning to dominate other platforms mainly because of their emphasis on visuals.
For 2019, establish your business's online presence in a picture-perfect format on Instagram, or build as many visuals as possible into your existing and future posts online.
Transparency is all the more important in the wake of the social data risks that came to light in 2018. This explains why live broadcasts have become so popular, with users posting live video updates on platforms such as Facebook for their audience of followers to watch.
Making your posts as interactive as possible allows you to communicate with your followers and authenticate your image as a trustworthy, approachable business. This kind of content is also favoured by the algorithms that control what users see on each social network, so you're more likely to gain engagement with interactive posts than with updates that include external links, for example.
Take advantage of this by creating posts that people can interact with: this can be in the form of caption competitions, polls on Twitter, or simply posting a question for your followers to start a conversation.
Understanding which platforms your desired audience are using the most, and then creating content that is relatable to them will help you stand out from the crowd and make better use of your time.
Focus on one or two platforms depending on the demographic of your target customers, perhaps using Instagram for a more visual experience, or Facebook and Twitter for text posts.
You can determine which social media networks to use by either sending a survey to your clients asking where they spend the most time, or using a study such as this one to see which platform is most popular with your target demographic.
Thanks to social media, people have the power to make a disgruntled voice heard across an entire platform. And customers have become accustomed to receiving almost instantaneous responses, making them feel like they are important to a company.
A strong, reliable company presence is required to be as attentive as possible to any queries or complaints, so keep on top of any interactions with your posts and pages.
Consistency is key. Posting regularly will boost your business reputation, help with your SEO efforts, enable you to reach a wider audience, and present your brand as competent and reliable.
The benefits are endless, and to help you keep on top of things you can even pre-schedule when your posts will be uploaded, taking away the added stress of remembering to make a post.

Staples High School
WESTPORT — School officials have identified two areas to focus on in their new strategic plan. After several years attempting to develop the new plan, officials believe Westport students would be better served focusing on social and emotional wellness and collaborative problem solving and design thinking,
Superintendent Thomas Scarice said the new plan is an opportunity to bring the school system to a new level.
"It is my recommendation, and that of a team of exemplary Westport educators, that a deep and sustained focus on social and emotional wellness, and collaborative problem solving via design thinking, can provide an inspiring backbone to the core academic and whole-child educational program of the Westport public schools." Scarice said
Since 2010, the district has been guided by a plan called "Westport 2025," which aimed to develop students' critical and creative thinking, communication and problem-solving skills.
In 2017, the board adopted the most recent strategic plan, which guided the district's commitment to diversity and inclusion. In addition, a number of goals were categorized in five broad groups including teaching and learning, healthy learning environment, organizational synergy and efficacy, facilities and finance, and stakeholders.
Scarice said in his strategic plan update letter to the board on Dec. 4, that for a variety of reasons, including a facilities crisis at Coleytown Middle School and turnover in key leadership positions, the plans and intentions of the 2017 adaptation were not realized.
"This deleterious churn was only compounded by a generational pandemic," Scarice said.
One of the first actions Scarice began working on when he was hired in 2020 was a new long-term plan. He gathered stakeholder feedback and information on what the district did well and where the district fell short, he said.
He also convened focus groups, conducted surveys and participated in a two-day retreat of 29 district educators.
The essential questions at the retreat were: To what extent is the district preparing students for the true challenges of work and citizenship that they will confront as young adults? What are the consequences for students, and society, if the students are unable to meet these challenges as a result of not transforming the district's current practice? And how can the schools justify much of what they do?
Scarice said a consensus emerged that a focus on social and emotional wellness was a clear choice to include in the plan.
"Throughout the past six-month journey, broad consensus would confirm that our students will continually face extraordinarily complex challenges throughout their lives, most that do not even exist today," Scarice said.
The board will be reviewing the proposal and voting on the strategic plan during the next board meeting.
Scarice said in order for a school system to have its greatest impact for the students "a compelling vision with deep focus is necessary."
Chairwoman Lee Goldstein agreed with the direction of the plan during the last board meeting.
"My mind is ablaze," Goldstein said. "I am really excited to see this going forward."

Josh Hutcherson is mourning the loss of The Hunger Games role
by Jaclyn Brandt

The Hunger Games was the biggest moment of the careers of many who were involved in it — including Josh Hutcherson. The three-book franchise, which was split into four films, still has two release dates in theaters, but has finally completed filming.

For Hutcherson, the world of The Hunger Games is over and he finds himself wishing it wasn't.
"I miss it so much," he told People at the Teen Choice Awards. "It pains me every day a little bit when I wake up, that we're not filming anymore."
The final two films, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Parts 1 and 2, were filmed over 10 months — a long time in movie world — but Hutcherson said, even after all that time, the cast didn't want it to end.
"It was really tiring, but we were so sad to see it end," he explained.
Hutcherson won the award for Choice Movie Actor: Sci-Fi/Fantasy at the Teen Choice Awards, was just invited to join the Academy and likely has a long career ahead of him. Besides the Hunger Games films, the actor will be seen next in Paradise Lost, along with Benicio del Toro.

But, for now, Hutcherson is mourning the loss of his Hunger Games family, who celebrated the end of filming with a small wrap party.
"It was honestly hard to say it was a celebration because we were all so sad that it was coming to an end," Hutcherson added. "It was so great to see everyone there letting loose, but it was more sad. I don't want to be melancholy, but we weren't ready for it to be finished yet."
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1 will be out Nov. 21, 2014, and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2 will be out Nov. 20, 2015.

Verstappen 'best driver in F1' - Horner
"Max is in the shape of his life"
Max Verstappen has stepped confidently into the driver leadership position at Red Bull, following the departure of Daniel Ricciardo.
That is the claim of Christian Horner, who is quoted by De Telegraaf newspaper as saying the Dutchman is driving even better than Lewis Hamilton at present.
"Max is in the shape of his life," the Red Bull team boss said.
"If you take the last 12 months, then he is the best driver in the field, despite not having the best car."
Indeed, 21-year-old Verstappen was once described as fast but erratic, but Horner says he has made basically "no mistakes" since Canada 2018.
Amid that backdrop, there have been rumours he might consider a move to a rival team like Mercedes.
"He is a big asset for Red Bull and we have to deliver him a car in which he can compete for the world title," said Horner.
Horner said Verstappen has slotted perfectly into the driver leadership position formerly occupied by Daniel Ricciardo prior to the Australian's move to Renault.
"Max has taken over the role of leader and the responsibility that comes with it," he said. "He has grown into an even more mature and focused driver.
"Ricciardo was a great personality with a great sense of humour and Max was always a bit in the shade with him. But it's very different now," said Horner.

So today was crazy long! We had our Harvest Festival, I got to paint perhaps fifty faces in an hour. I got skills!!! Anyway, my girls got to walk around with their dear old dad while playing games. It is always so fun because you get to see old, old, old, students that return. You see everyone in such a positive fun setting. I am exhausted, and my daughters were ready to snuggle. We got jammies on, our set of books, and we hunkered in for the night. I hope you enjoy!
My girls, my sweets, a memory in their head.
I read an email from that very same facilitator, I sat with a much shorter book and magic occur ed!
Mem Fox's, she never fails, Harriet, You'll Drive Me Wild was the text that I used to introduce a better Interactive Read Aloud. We sat in a circle, we sat with a friend of our choice. I read, and then after the first transition in the story I turned to my partner and modeled!!! the the conversation they were to have with their partner. (Did you miss that? I MODELED for them.) We discussed what we did correctly, we talked about staying on topic, and then they practiced. It was a magical lesson. I am once again on board.
1. How to talk in the group without raising their hand, just not getting that!
2. How to agree, add, and disagree while supporting their responses.
3. Staying focused on the read aloud.
A while back I wrote this poem, and I didn't really know where it came from? Perhaps it will touch you in some way. In the end, answer that question for yourself, "What drives you?"
not of people, but of places.
I wrote a poem for the summer entitled "Summertime Mommy." You can read it here. Well, a start of a new year has inspired a new kind of mommy. I love being a mommy, but we all know the guilt, responsibility, the heart strings that encompass that role. It is truly not understood until one has children of their own. So, here is "Working Mommy."
The other wanders to where she left her heart.
Her hands are never idle.
-If you keep the caught frog, his mommy will miss him.
-The stars are here for wishing.
-Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings.
-Watching the light on the refrigerator, does it go off or stay on?
My students know this information already. I didn't have unscientific responses to the questions that are within this book. If I asked my 5 year old daughter and my almost 7 year old I am sure that I would get completely different responses. Not just because my youngest daughter doesn't know this knowledge but I think it is because at this age she still believes these things. So when do they lose this ability to ignore the scientific? When do they start to answer questions like "how do the flowers know when to come up in the spring?" or "What is snow?"
I can go back to the purely unscientific world but I have to choose to do so, she lives there daily. I choose to go there for my creativity, my nostalgia, and my sense of play. When I am back in this world my seven year old just rolls her eyes and says, "Mooom!" She knows I know, the other one doesn't. So when do we lose it and why do we fight so hard to lose it?
Sarah Says, and So Do I!
"So, what do you think about PMA? Does it work for you? How does it impact your teaching and/or classroom?"
A while back Ruth challenged me to think of a word that I could coin for myself and I said: optimism. After reading this definition from Sarah I was shaking my head because this is what I believe. I have to admit that my hope, whether I am sitting down with a student, a colleague, a parent, etc. is that I am having PMA.
Teaching first grade can be very tiring, and taxing, especially the first couple of weeks. Even during the school year I always try to establish good behavior by praising the good behavior around me. It goes a lot like this: "Boy, I sure do like the way that Jack is standing quietly in line!" I praise and then the rest of the children fall into line. It's positive and I feel less stressed when I notice the positives. Amazing what a positive mental outlook can bring to your day.
I think PMA does work for me and I think that it is catching. Think about people that you come in contact with, when they are negative you either conform to their negativity or you don't spend much time with them. When you are with someone who is positive you tend to stay longer than you would have, walk away with a smile, and good things are accomplished.
I challenge you to think about your Positive Mental Attitude. Does it work for you? How does it affect your teaching and/or classroom? If you don't have a PMA then what can you do to work towards a better one? What changes can you make?
"Maybe the moon falled asleep before it was supposed too. It just needed a nap. When it woke back up it was daytime. You know mommy the moon doesn't get to see the peoples ever and so the moon decided to stay away all day. I bet he is really going to be tired tomorrow. Look, here is the nuts in my apple!"
I thought to myself, what a wonderful story. I like living in a world that is purely unscientific. I mean I know the reasons why the moon and sun arrive each night and day. Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah.... Sometimes it is just more fun thinking about the sun and moon as living breathing creatures that need sleep and they want to see the "peoples."
Oh yeah, the "nuts" in the apple? They are really seeds, we brought those home and talked daddy into putting them into a plastic bag with paper towel moisture. When they "hatch" we're going to plant them so that we can have an apple tree in our yard.
Also, she wants to know if it would be okay to take noodle soup to preschool. "Do you think that would be a nice snack to share mama, wif my new friends?"
So, before my students begin writing I have them plan their writing with a friend. This is where I say, "Go knee to knee with a friend and discuss what you will be writing." One of my students last week went knee to knee with me. I said, "What are you going to write about M?"
M. said, "I want to write about candy."
Me: "Do you know a lot about candy?"
M. "Oh, yes, I love candy!"
Me: "So, will your piece be an all about piece?"
Me: "M. I would really love to try something with you and I think we could share it with the class when it is finished. Would you like to work together on this?"
M: Big smile, nod, affirmation!
I go home and write! I write about cereal. I create a mentor text for M. to show her the next day. We have been writing already! 10 days into the writer's workshop and already I am amazed at my children and their accomplishments.
I will keep you posted on the, All About Candy book!


She's finished. FB URC has finally realised she's a fraud so if she's got any sense she'll shut up and go and get help for her issues.
I was hoping for more insight in Amy's ultrarunning history, which I wasn't able to find. It seems like there is none of that.
In my opinion, Amy Hughes is a fraud.
There is no way that she could have run 521 miles on a treadmill. Even if you would consider an error margin of 10%, that would be 468.9 miles in 7 days or 67 miles per day. That would be 401.9 miles (646.68k) in 6 days.
If you look at any of these ladies results, they all have a long list of running accomplishments. Amy Hughes has none of that.
It would be great if Amy could prove her running excellence in a real 6 day race but probably it will never happen, like the 6 day race Robert Young promised us to do this spring.
The typical behaviour has now begun - she's crying out about hurtful comments when there have been very few, and ignoring the legitimate analysis of her capabilities.
I like your new alter ego Derek.
The idea that a boyfriend can't count miles just because he's a "man" doesn't hold water for me either.
Wow, can't believe how many people are willfully ignorant and believing everything she says. Makes me question humanity.
I will be keeping a close eye on this Amy Hughes. Seems like I should write a counterpoint of her to point how all the lies and send it to the newspapers.
So basically a relative unknown, with no experience other than running a few marathons (ie, no multi-day or trans-con efforts), is claiming she ran 3 marathons a day for 7 straight days. Right.
I noticed Laz commented on that FB post. Hopefully they'll get on the case and report their findings here. And if we're really lucky, maybe a resurrection of fake Laz.
I followed this quite closely at the time, as she is a good looking girl and I'm a simple man.
Didn't really raise any alarm bells for me until all the recent media attention and #justiceforamy crap on twitter, which just came across as petty and stupid, when the rules from GWR were quite clear. Now suddenly, people are starting to analyse the numbers and make comparisons to other, more established ultrarunners who have done similar treadmill stunts and it definitely looks doubtful she did the mileage she claims.
I'm amazed that the sponsors behind this stunt didn't do more due diligence into Amy's pedigree and the recording of the attempt.
This is another example of corporations being so greedy for exposure that they really believe this vacuous girl ran 26 miles a day for 53 days and was capable of setting an incredibly difficult world best while day dreaming about unicorns in a shopping mall.
Does anyone know what sort of funding was provided for this event?
Does she make a living from stunt running?
Where was Michael Speicher while all this was taking place?
Would anyone here like to buy some compression socks?
Ha ha this is funny.
Besides the picture from that professional photo shoot she doesn't seem to have much muscle tone or definition. How do you run 53 marathons in 53 days and not firm up a little?
Laz has arrived about a week earlier than expected. That's apparently because he'd run out of cigarettes so was able to fight hard to hold his pace.
Luckily Amy was knocking out a few 6 minute miles on the treadmill when he arrived so we're still hoping to get his backing for the GWR social media campaign. No-one does social media better than Laz.
Dave Keighley, (Amy's boyfriend and unrecognized Guinessbook witness) responded but he removed it straightaway after I commented.
You are a body shaming troll. Why not spend more time running instead of looking at the seductive photos that my GF keeps releasing to the media?
Yes, this type of stunt running is her real full time job. She was a former personal trainer according to her 53 Foundation bio. Amy Hughes and her boyfriend David's only real jobs is being the owner of their "53 Foundation" "charity" for which they do these stunts and solicit money. An online donation link is prominently displayed on Amy Hughes website to her personal 53 Foundation for this event. Probably other sponsors I don't know about.
On her boyfriend's Facebook page, he lists himself as "Self-employed" meaning he is otherwise jobless other than for being one of the owners of the 53 Foundation.
So all the money from the publicity of this stunt would either go directly to them out to their 53 Foundation and then to them to spend with who knows what transparency.


"I guess so," she answered hesitantly.
"Then I would like you to meet Mr. Graschel," Herbert said as he indicated Deet.
"You're a very pretty girl," Deet said gently.
"Momma never made me be with no white man," she returned.
"What you know about girls?" Jane asked him.
"Sit in that chair over there," Jane suddenly order and Deet, more amused by her sudden command than anything else, obliged.
"This is an unusual request, considering that the minor in question has suffered sexual abuse," the judge said.
"I think I'd be interested in anything you might have to say," the judge said.
Dieter rose slowly, cleared his throat a few times, and pulled nervously at the edge of his shirt.
Hebert Milhauser groaned and Manuel Fuentes buried his face in his hands.
"Do you know why you're here?" Judge Solari asked Eric.
"I'd like to speak to you alone," the judge said.
"Your Honor, I object," Milhauser replied.
Eric reluctantly complied after the looks from his father and the two attorneys told him it would be okay. He was surprised when they entered the judge's office and she removed her black robe. She was wearing jeans and a Grateful Dead t-shirt.
Judge Solari didn't know whether she should laugh or cry. She nodded to her bailiff to summon Herbert Milhauser.
"Your Honor," Milhauser said, "my firm authorized an extensive investigation of Mr. Graschel before sending the boy to San Antonio. He comes from a good family. He had a steady job before his parents both died and he came into a comfortable sum of money. He lives a quiet life and contributes heavily to this community's charitable organizations. He's one of the volunteers every year with the Elf Louise project at Christmas and gives several hours a month to the Ronald McDonald House. He's a patron of the arts and has provided funding to several local playwrights. We found that he has never given any indication of showing a sexual interest in minors. Mr. Fuentes has allowed his children to spend extensive time with Mr. Graschel and is comfortable with that. In fact, all of the Fuentes children adore him and call him Uncle Deet.
She rose and retrieved her robe. Eric and his attorney followed her back into her courtroom.
"Mr. Graschel," she said when she resumed her seat, "your son speaks highly of you. I would, however, suggest that someone explain to him the difference between a fifth and the Fifth Amendment." Her tone suddenly turned serious. "I received word this morning that little Jane Doe's baby died so I want her to remain in the hospital a little while longer. I was with the girl this morning when she received the news and, while she doesn't totally comprehend anything that's happened to her, she will need around the clock medical care for a few more days. I will speak to her doctors on Friday and, if they agree, she will be placed in your temporary custody at that time. I highly recommend, although I will not require, that you have some kind of female presence in the home at least part of each day.

Currier Residence - 2/ Robert Morton
The Currier residence organ was originally from Spokane's American Theatre. It was a two-manual Robert Morton of unknown size.
According to George Perks of Spokane, the Robert Morton instrument was moved from the theatre... "to Wallace Idaho and played in a Masonic temple then later moved to Spokane by Harold Currier. He installed it in his home on the South Hill in Spokane with the pipe work in the basement (an older turn of the century home with stone basement). All of the larger pipework was installed in a horizontal position as the basement was only a little less than seven feet high. Years later he sold the home with the organ in it. The organ was not playable and the later owners took the console apart in many pieces, cutting cables, pulling screws and pretty much ruining it. They did this to make it easy to get out of the small doors on the living room. When I heard about the organ, the home owners were again selling the home and were making a deal with a scrap dealer to take the pipes and other equipment out of the basement where it had been left for many years in dampness, and with pets and children climbing all over it. There was a Morton Marimba that had to be completely taken apart and rebuilt, a Wurlitzer Chrys and a Wurlitzer toy counter and Glock. The water had completely ruined the relay and some chests had been wet."
George rebuilt several of the components and added them to his large Kimball concert organ originaly from Sholwalter Hall at Eastern Washington University. More information on the Perks instrument is available here.

3.2: What is Matter?
[ "article:topic", "Matter", "showtoc:no" ]
3: Matter and Energy
Define matter and explain how it is composed of building blocks known as "atoms".
We are all familiar with matter. The definition of Matter is anything that has mass and volume (takes up space). For most common objects that we deal with every day, it is fairly simple to demonstrate that they have mass and take up space. You might be able to imagine, however, the difficulty for people several hundred years ago to demonstrate that air has mass and volume. Air (and all other gases) are invisible to the eye, have very small masses compared to equal amounts of solids and liquids, and are quite easy to compress (change volume). Without sensitive equipment, it would have been difficult to convince people that gases are matter. Today, we can measure the mass of a small balloon when it is deflated and then blow it up, tie it off, and measure its mass again to detect the additional mass due to the air inside. The mass of air, under room conditions, that occupies a one quart jar is approximately 0.0002 pounds. This small amount of mass would have been difficult to measure in times before balances were designed to accurately measure very small masses. Later, scientists were able to compress gases into such a small volume that the gases turned into liquids, which made it clear that gases are matter.
Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\): Everything from an ant, to a truck, to the earth and even the entire galaxy is composed of matter. Images used with permission from Wikipedia (CC_SA-BY-3.0; credit High Contrast)
Even though the universe consists of "things" as wildly different as ants and galaxies, the matter that makes up all of these "things" is composed of a very limited number of building blocks. These building blocks are known as atoms, and so far, scientists have discovered or created a grand total of 118 different types of atoms. Scientists have given a name to each different type of atom. A substance that is composed of only one type of atom is called an element. At this point, what should amaze you is that all forms of matter in our universe are made with only 118 different building blocks. In some ways, it's sort of like cooking a gourmet, five-course meal using only three ingredients! How is it possible? To answer that question, you have to understand the ways in which different elements are put together to form matter.
The most important method that nature uses to organize atoms into matter is the formation of molecules. Molecules are groups of two or more atoms that have been bonded together. There are millions of different ways to bond atoms together, which means that there are millions of different possible molecules. Each of these molecules has its own set of chemical properties, and it's these properties with which chemists are most concerned. You will learn a lot more about atoms and molecules, including how they were discovered, in a later part of the textbook.
All matter has mass and occupies space. All physical objects are made of matter. Matter itself is composed of tiny building blocks known as "atoms". There are only 118 different types of atoms known to man. Frequently, atoms are bonded together to form "molecules".
