When Maida Heatter's first book (the above-mentioned title) won the James Beard Cookbook Hall of Fame Award in 1998, she accepted her award on stage and began to toss out these brownies to the audience. Everybody clamored for one and went wild.
The original recipe came from a local deli in her area and did not include the mints (that recipe is available in the first edition of this book). She tinkered with the recipe and added the mints which do not melt during baking. I've been itching to make these ever since seeing them featured on the cover of the book.
These brownies are soft, gooey and wonderful. I like them best at room temperature. Every year, just before the holiday break, goodie bags are put together for our hard-working student library employees. This was my contribution to the bag this year.
The full text of the recipe is available from the Washington Post.
8 oz. (2 sticks) unsalted butter
8 oz. (2 cups) walnuts
5 eggs graded "large"
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1⁄2 tsp. almond extract
1⁄4 tsp. salt
1 TBS. plus 1 tsp. instant espresso powder
3 3⁄4 cups sugar
1 2⁄3 cups sifted unbleached flour
2 bags (14 oz. or 15.4 oz.) York chocolate-covered peppermint patties
(Note: Maida recommends using a Magic Line pan for these. I do not own one and used a regular pan. The edges did burn (like she said they might) but they can easily be trimmed off.)

Notts County Sailing Club's Spring Regatta took place over the bank holiday weekend. The RYA/Yachts & Yachting Club of the Year chose the theme for this year's event as Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
Recycling was encouraged and the club used washable plates and cutlery where possible, the children took part in the RYA Bluegreen Marine CSI challenge, keeping them entertained on Sunday. The event is a popular family friendly regatta with racing for all ages and levels of ability. RS Sailing, Allen Brothers and Noble Marine Insurance sponsored prizes, meaning the youngsters in particular went away with something, as did many adults.
Over 185 registered for the event which included the socials. Over 75 craft took part in the long weekend, many in two person boats, 17 were visitors from other clubs. There were about 50 juniors sailing, both crewing, helming and participating in the fun events, including the RYA CSI challenge and build a model boat out of recycled material.
The club also hosted the Graduate class nationals over the weekend, who are reporting separately, they enjoyed their weekend at the club, and thanked the club for a wonderful championship.
The weather was near perfect (though a little breezy for some) and even the thunderstorms hitting nearby Birmingham missed us (just), we had sunshine on all days, with a brisk wind on Saturday, a little less on Sunday and much less on Monday, and it was warm. With the excellent organisation, what more could you want.
The weekend starts with preparations and bring your own BBQ as everyone set up camp and checked out the bar on Friday. Saturday morning seeing registration and the Commodore's Cup (Handicap fast, slow and juniors) starting off the racing. In the fast fleet Jamie Mawson from Notts County set a blistering pace in his RS600, sailing pretty much flawlessly the whole weekend. He was followed in all but one race by the Scorpion of Janet & Alan Ritchie from Chipstead, with Matt Potter and John Rowell third in the first race. Luke Hardy and John Wells were third overall in the fast with a forth & second. The Junior fleet saw Adam Foster from Notts County dominate with two firsts followed by Raife Piggott. The slow fleet saw Stephanie & Katherine Gunn win with two firsts in their Mirror, Sarah Venning also from the home club coming second in her laser and Rob & Karen Bell from Emberton SC third in their Firefly.
The overall Commodore's Cup results were Jamie Mawson, with Stephanie & Katherine Gunn runner up and Adam Foster winning the Juniors.
The Regatta Cup is aimed at novices and families, crews often helm and some were entering their first race, youngsters also race with the adults, with 43 entries it is popular event and won by junior James Tilyard in his laser radial. Josh Bennett and Alex Brown from Toddbrook were second in a GP14 and Joe Taylor third in a Hansa Liberty. The racing takes place over a short compact course around lunchtime each day.
The third major race each day is the Class trophy split into Double hander, RS & Fireball, Scorpion, Single hander, Laser, Junior and windsurfer. The double handers saw the Gunn's mirror win, the Junior was won by Raife Piggott, the Laser Julian Lloyd, windsurfers by junior Duncan Monaghan, RS & Fireball Jamie Mawson, Scorpion Janet & Alan Ritchie and single handers Jake Willars (Junior).
There was also team racing using The University of Nottingham's Fireflys.
The prize for the oldest boat has to go to John Sears sailing a 58 year old restored National 12 "Slick Chick" (Mk 9) with his daughter Catherine.
The social side was also well catered for with an excellent roast and sweet by Pauline, the club caterer on Saturday, followed by a band, and Sunday saw a Midshires farm BBQ with a silent disco following the fancy dress. Many chose to avail themselves of the bar and catch up or put the world to rights in the warm evening sunshine.
James Logan the vice commodore, who organised the event with wife Phillipa thanked the sponsors, Allen, RS, Noble Marine along with Pauline & Colin for catering, Martin & Moria Hart for the bar organisation, and Jeff Hardy and Tim Miles-Haylor and team for safety cover, which was kept busy two days of the regatta. Ross Ryan for organising the Team Racing, plus many other too numerous to mention.
Roll on next year's event. More photos at ncsc.org.uk/2018/05/26/spring-regatta-2018

We took this daily driven Z32 owned by Jason & Nikki and injected it with some good ole fashioned mods. Believe it or not this car started out life as a 5-speed and was converted to accept an SZ Stage 1 Automagic Trans. This Z32 posses' a "fresh" JDM engine with the auto A\R turbos (smaller than 5-speed turbos). When the engine was dropped in we dynoed the car to see how it performed with factory boost levels, full SZ 2.5″ exhaust, and single POP. We then added our SZ 3″ Downpipes, SZ 3″ to 2.5″ Test Pipes, JWT Dual Pop w\ Selin Translator, Blitz SBC iD-Spec-R Boost Controller, and SZ custom tune. It still has factory intercoolers too.
Turbos are truly an amazing thing. Boost and Zs rule! Like my bud Rob Fuller would say. You can see the "before" and "after" results below.
Say "ahhhhhh" (At the doctor's office)
That's right folks, almost 100 RWTQ gained by 4000 RPM. Time to shred some tires and laugh at Prius owners! For those who have trouble reading a dyno graph, the red lines are the "before" runs and the blue lines are the "after" runs. The fainter of the lines are Torque and the darker are HP.

I had given this post some thought before replying as I knew I'd seen this before.
Then I recalled my change :)
I was where you were and know what you mean. But don't let those whispers bring you down. Pray for yourself and pray for those close to you and pray for everyone else too.
I wasn't fully practicing in my younger days, yet I wasn't sinning in bulk either. I would do things everyone else considred to be normal, which in fact was living in sin of some kind.
I used to be called out to go in Tabligh Jamaat for many years and I always said "InshaAllah" and got away with it, i.e. I didn't go.
Then one day I went to my local Markaz and then started going regularly and eventually found myself in Jamaat.
Then one night (last few nights of Ramadhan) I was in Jamaat for the first time, Alhumdulillah.
I knew I wanted to change, I knew I had to change, I knew I had to give up on the many things I loved doing.
Since I knew what I wanted, I chased it!
I gave up those silly sins that is the norm. I started giving up on those small things that were affecting me without even knowing it. I gave up listening to rubbish, I gave up my artistry, I got rid of all my collections of anything Haram. I went all the way.
I stopped getting angry, I started getting patient.
I recall the first sign of my patience and still remember when my younger sister spilt cooking oil on my new clothes and in my hair - I didn't get angry, I smiled it away. That was when my family saw a change in me.
I started to grow my beard, I started to dress in traditional clothing. In fact I started wearing my traditional clothing to University (a major change for me and my classmates and well accepted) (Not forgetting I am in London, UK)
My attitude changed. Those around me saw the change and didn't think it would stay - Alhumdulillah they were wrong and InshaAllah they will remain wrong and change for the better too.
This makes my confidence go down. Don't let it deceive you.
Before that, few years ago. I was confident enough, no one could talk to me. I was not popular in school but when I got to college, I made sure that changed. I let my otherself out, i.e. I would show off my skills in fighting (I knew I didn't want to have the same rubbish I had in school - so I let my skills out in the open and gained much respect)
Now i have reached to a point where i am busy with myself and i feel not confident. Will it be settled?
I eventually gave everything up, even my martial arts, although that kind of sticks with you just in case :)
I felt alone. I would sit in my bedroom for hours and hours and just read my books and listen to Audio tapes etc. I stayed away from the sins in the house and I knew I was being talked about. I did feel like just being with everyone again, but that would mean being sinful again and knowing the punishments that were waiting to come to me.
I would get whispers about the negatives of having a beard and wearing the Sunnah clothing and so on, but at the same time I would learn more of the benefits and rewards of doing what I was doing and then I would fight off those thoughts. My beard got longer instead of shorter, stylish "fake" beard.
I saw people that I wanted to be like and when I would hear their stories I would say to myself that I will be there in 5 years time :)
If it took them 5 - 10 years since their change, I can be there too.
Now I look back after over 20 years and I say Alhumdulillah, I am there, I passed some of them, I need to find higher goals so I can surpass those too. But I know that there will be many hurdles on the way. Those hurdles can come in the form of whispers from Man and Shaitan (Hence we ask Allah to protect us from those whispers - see here) They can be in the form of friends and family. They can be in the form of our Ego, in the form of envy, hasad and so on. But most important of all was not to give up.
I have seen some who gave up and it scares me :(
I have seen those whom I look up to and now they have let go and walked away from helping others (Selfish? Ego? Competition? maybe!)
Even members here past, present and silent readers, dual account holders, fake account holders... - they give up or let go just because of others misunderstanding. (Yes - I'm talking about you too. I know you log on everyday. I know you read my posts. All I want is for you all to be here to help in such situations where others can take the positives you can give them and forget about those tiny episodes, else I will hold you accountable for not being here when you were needed :))
And i will regain my confidence inshaAllah?InshaAllah!
Shaitan will not work on those who are already sinning. Why would he waste his time there?
His target are those who work for change.
Also, don't forget, Shaitan will not work to make you do Haram. He will distract you away from those actions that bring you closer to Allah and eventually that distraction will lead us to letting go of what is right and then get involved in sin again.
Allah will only test you as much as you can take, so be your best and fight to win!
Keep the Sunnah Alive in everything and inshaAllah all the positives will bear its fruits.
Remember the Prophet was once called the best of names by everyone around him. The moment he spoke the truth, he was called the worst of names. But the truth hurts as they say, so let it hurt "them" not us!

Our pick of Mozambique's best beach holidays
With numerous white sandy beaches and clear blue reef waters, the coastline and the islands of Mozambique are very well known for amazing beach holidays. Below are our recommendations for some of the best beach holidays in Mozambique.
These beaches are concentrated into two areas: the Bazaruto Archipelago in the south of Mozambique and the Quirimbasin the north - both of which have a series of lovely tropical islands which make stunning venues for beach holidays in east Africa.
Mozambique beaches: our top 4 recommendations
Azura Benguerra|97% (12 reviews)The beaches on Benguerra Island are beautiful: fine sand sprinkled with thousands of shells. Tidal variations are considerable – at low tide it may be a couple of kilometres to the sea! More about Azura Benguerra
Bazaruto Lodge|86% (13 reviews)If you are looking for a great beach holiday, then consider Bazaruto Lodge on Bazaruto Island. There are beaches all over the island with the waters on the western side generally very calm, perfect for swimming and sunbathing in Africa. More about Bazaruto Lodge
Benguerra Lodge|100% (3 reviews)Benguerra Island's pale, sandy beaches are beautiful and this old, established lodge can deliver a superb beach holiday – amongst the best bets after a Southern Africa safari. More about Benguerra Lodge
Nuarro Mozambique|95% (4 reviews)The yellow sand of Napula's beaches and beautiful reef in front of the Lodge are ideal for activities on the beach and the water. Get ready for one of the best beaches in east Africa. More about Nuarro Mozambique


text: No more so than any other game within its own series or among the dozens of other games like it in the current market. Also, it's not a reference, it's almost the entire level. It felt like "Let's have Sky Chase for the sake of having Sky Chase" so there's like 2 solid minutes where nothing really happens. It's fantastic speedrun design, except when it's decidedly not (bosses, entire stages) and then it just doesn't count because ??? I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying it's totally average for speedrunning among its peers. It's a good run, pretty hard to do and learn because analog movement games like this just intrinsically invoke a certain level of variation, but as far as the run goes it's about on a par with its peers and the featureset falls short. Instant restart is very nice, but it came at the cost of having the timer start via an actual physical object in the level, and abuse it people do. In-game leaderboards were nice, but lacking any type of replay functionality it quickly devolved into hacked/impossible times and swiftly becomes virtually useless for real competition. If this is high-bar then christ Dustforce would blow your mind. I know we're very eager to praise Mania and all but can we not praise it for things it really doesn't have over its peers. Mania is not an old game, so this question is facetious. It varies wildly depending on the game but usually you just slap a timer down and go. You can still do that with Mania, but it's kind of plain considering how many games that have come before have done a lot more. Previous Sonic games do this better, Sonic Colours has Egg Shuttle, for instance, which proved immensely popular with runners of that game for the simple reason of removing much of the fluff. (also many old games actually have done this better anyway, games as old as Super friggin Metroid were flashing clear times at the end of a playthrough so this question is double dumb)

Kobel positioning at fault PSG arrived again to me after which Thomas Tuchel identified as me. With the leaders not in motion right until Monday's journey to Nurnberg – and possessing thrown absent a three-goal end up in attract in your home to Hoffenheim inside their very last league online game ahead of once more conceding three inside a weighty Champions League reduction at Tottenham – Dortmund are now being hunted by Bayern.

Buddhism in Cambodia has bounced back from near total suppression by the ultra-communist Khmer Rouge to resume its role as a cornerstone of the Kingdom's education system, driving students to excellence on both spiritual and more mundane levels, according to one senior monk.
Venerable Samdech Preah Mahasomethea Thipadey Nun Nget, the 84-year-old director of all Buddhist schools in Cambodia, said the concentration and moral strength Buddhism encourages often translates into more impressive academic performances than a purely secular education provides.
"The degrees from Buddhist schools are the equivalent of degrees from public schools but, based on my own observations, even though the degrees are the same, the monks are much more brilliant than common students," Nget said.
"Monk-students are more industrious, spend more time working and are more moral than students in common schools. Therefore, it is rare that monk-students fail the exams needed to graduate from high school or university," he added.
According to a 2007 annual report by the Ministry of Cults and Religions, Cambodia has 549 Buddhist primary schools with 12,174 monks, 26 Buddhist secondary schools with 6,200 monks, and two Buddhist universities with 977 students. In addition, there are 726 "discipline schools" that teach dharma classes to a further 13,612 monks.
The schools follow largely the same curriculum as secular schools but include studies in the traditional Buddhist languages Pali and Sanskrit.
Nget said that since 1993 about 300 monks have gained scholarships to study Sanskrit and English literature at universities in other countries with strong Buddhist traditions.
"Last year, three monks gained scholarships to earn their master's degrees in India, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar, while another eight monks went to study in Japan," he said.

It's the first day of spring at V-Bar-V Ranch Heritage Site outside of Sedona, and a shadow is creeping slowly across a rock wall etched with ancient petroglyphs. As the sun rises high overhead, the shadow highlights several concentric circles that were long ago etched into the rock by unknown hands. Are these carvings part of a planting calendar, or is the position of the shadows merely coincidence?
Whatever the answer, this and other petroglyph sites around Arizona offer opportunities to admire rock-art images both familiar and fantastic.
And the people who left these images? How did they live? Find out for yourself at any of the state's numerous well-preserved cliff dwellings. In sometimes massive, shallow caves, native peoples erected entire villages of multi-story stone apartments. Because of the protection offered by overhanging cliff walls, these structures are among the best-preserved pueblos in the region.
National Monuments and More in Central and Northern Arizona
The Deer Valley Rock Art Center outside of Phoenix is arguably the best place in Arizona to learn about rock art. This archaeological site and museum preserves more than 1,500 petroglyphs and also provides historical context and interpretation of the site's many rock-art images through hands-on activities.
Across the valley and into the mountains to the east, explore two of the southernmost cliff dwellings in the nation at Tonto National Monument. The architectural styles and materials found at both sites represent Hohokam and ancestral Puebloan traditions.
In Northern Arizona, the sacred Tutuveni petroglyph site boasts more than 5,000 Hopi clan symbols and reflects 1,000 years of Hopi history and culture. The carvings tucked into a 200-foot tall red rock ridgeline at Dawa Park are even more ancient, dating to the Basketmaker peoples from 2,000 years ago. Individual and group visits are permitted with a guide who holds a valid Hopi tribal permit.
Few areas of Arizona offer more opportunities for exploring cliff dwellings and searching out rock-art sites than the triangle formed by Camp Verde, Sedona and Flagstaff. Within this region, amateur archaeologists can gaze up – via a paved trail – at the ruins of Camp Verde's Montezuma Castle National Monument and wander in and out of the narrow cliff dwellings at Walnut Canyon National Monument near Flagstaff, believed to have been inhabited in the 1100s.
At Palatki Heritage Site, west of Sedona, visitors marvel at well-preserved pictographs while exploring a modest cliff dwelling during docent-led tours. If you're up for a desert adventure, search out the Red Tank Draw petroglyphs south of Sedona and not far from the V-Bar-V petroglyphs.
Hidden History Deep in Canyon Country
Two of the largest cliff dwellings in the state are preserved at Navajo National Monument in Northern Arizona, where both the Keet Seel and Betatakin pueblos can be visited on free ranger-led hikes during the summer.
While there are numerous ruin sites within Canyon de Chelly National Monument in Chinle, only White House Ruin via White House Trail can be visited without a guide. Among the rock art within this canyon are some of the state's most impressive pictographs.
Privately owned but open to the public, remote Rock Art Ranch, between Winslow and Holbrook, is considered by some authorities to preserve one of the most extensive and diverse groupings of rock art in the world. The countless images here were likely left by numerous cultures over thousands of years.
Petroglyph Art in Southern Arizona
At the Painted Rock Petroglyph Site, west of Gila Bend and southwest of Phoenix, petroglyphs by the hundreds cover jumbled boulders that form a low hill. This Bureau of Land Management site also has an adjacent campground, which makes this a good place for immersing yourself in the past.
Just as the spring and autumn equinoxes are great times to visit V-Bar-V Ranch, sunset is the time to follow petroglyph-dotted Signal Hill Trail in the west unit of Saguaro National Park near Tucson. As the light of the setting sun turns to a golden glow, a large spiral, pecked into a hilltop rock eons ago, catches the day's last light, signaling the end of the day. So too does this impressive sight signal the long ago end of an era, when American Indians tracked water, wild game and the seasons by leaving a bit of writing on the walls and rocks of the Arizona desert.
Editors note: When visiting these historic sites, please remember that many of them are sacred to American Indian tribes. Leave petroglyphs and cliff dwellings as you found them. Do not damage or remove any artifacts, rocks or plants, or climb on walls. Oil from fingerprints can harm the site, so refrain from touching rock art.

Metal Tiger Plc
11 February 2016
Metal Tiger Plc
("Metal Tiger" or the "Company")
Botswana Progress Update & Drilling Commencement
Metal Tiger plc (LON: MTR) the London Stock Exchange AIM listed investor in strategic natural resource opportunities is pleased to provide an update with regard to its investing activities in Botswana and notably progress achieved in country with regard to licence transfer approvals and the commencement of drilling operations by our partners MOD Resources (ASX: MOD).
Readers wishing to understand the background to Metal Tiger's interests in Botswana are advised to review our announcement on 16 December 2015 confirming the acquisition of licence interests. This announcement can be viewed through the following link:
- Ministerial consent received to transfer ownership of DMI licences to Tshukudu Metals Botswana (Pty) Ltd, owned by MOD (70%) and Metal Tiger Plc (30%);
- All 14 DMI licences with a total area of approximately 6,300km2 in the central and western part of the Kalahari Copper Belt have been extended to 31 December 2016;
- Confirmation of the licence extensions enables drilling to proceed on a range of high priority targets. Application for renewal of key DMI licences is expected later in 2016;
- MOD and Metal Tiger to commence initial drilling of copper/silver targets starting next week.
Paul Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Metal Tiger said "we are delighted to see the rapid progress being achieved in Botswana by our partners MOD Resources. The acquisition of highly prospective interests is an important step in the value creation process, but the real test is the extent of mineralisation as determined by properly evaluating the ground and drilling.
With drilling to commence next week and with the soil sampling process ongoing we will begin to discover the true potential of our interests in Botswana. We expect news updates to flow to market as and when results are received and interpreted.
This is an exciting time for both MOD Resources and Metal Tiger. With MOD Resources longstanding experience on the ground, and with the information available to us with regard to our licence interests, we look to the future in Botswana with optimism and underlying confidence."
Botswana General Update:
The Board of Metal Tiger is pleased to announce that formal transfer of 14 prospecting licences acquired as part of Discovery Mines (Pty) Ltd (DMI) has been approved by the Minister for Minerals, Energy and Water Resources, Botswana. The Minister has also approved extensions to all 14 DMI licences in the area of MOD's high grade Mahumo Cu/Ag deposit and in the wider Ghanzi region.
Metal Tiger and MOD Resources have planned a staged, six month drilling program (Phase 1) to test high priority exploration targets in the Mahumo area and the potential for resource extensions at Mahumo onto adjacent DMI and MOD licences.
The initial RC drilling program is due to commence next week and will be operated from MOD's office and warehouse facility at Ghanzi. Targets include areas where high grade Cu/Ag mineralisation has already been intersected in previous widely spaced drilling, and untested surface Cu anomalies associated with favourable structural settings interpreted from airborne magnetic data. Recent evaluation of historical DMI data by MOD's geological team has highlighted the potential of the targets identified to date.
MOD and MTR are also awaiting first assay results from the on-going soil sampling campaign to infill and confirm a number of extensive surface copper anomalies on DMI licences. MOD will provide an update on these assay results once they are received and interpreted.

« Returning From Obscurity To Issue Inanities | Main | The Canadian Underground »
Islamists in Pakistan called for massive rallies against the Pervez Musharraf government after it rounded up hundreds of suspected terrorists while investigating the London bombings. The grassroots effort to support Taliban-style tyranny fell somewhat short of expectations:
An Islamist call for nationwide protests in Pakistan against a crackdown on militants after the July 7 London bombings fell flat on Friday with rallies in big cities failing to attract more than a few hundred people. ...
Up to 700 Islamists, most of them teenagers or in their 20s, chanted anti-Musharraf and anti-U.S. slogans at Islamabad's Lal or Red Mosque, which was raided by security forces searching for militants on Tuesday.
Some shouted slogans in support of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and Afghanistan's fundamentalist Taliban government, which was overthrown by U.S.-led forces after the al Qaeda attacks on U.S. cities on Sept. 11, 2001.
The protesters pelted a police post with stones, destroyed lamp posts and set fire to a police motorcycle.
Seven hundred people? More people show up here at the opening of a Krispy Kreme donut shop. Calling for massive rallies always carries the risk of embarrassment if the numbers don't reach significant levels. Howell Raines found that out when his weeks-long jeremiad in the New York Times against the Masters tournament in Augusta only resulted in a few dozen protestors on the first day.
This failure to capture the Pakistani imagination could find an explanation in the autocratic nature of the Musharraf government. However, Pakistan has seen protests of far more significant scope that challenged his policies. This shows that the Islamists have lost tremendous credibility since the fall of the Taliban, a result reflected in an opinion poll released last week showing rapid erosion of Islamist popularity and growing interest in democratic rule among the peoples of Southwest Asia and North Africa.
It looks like Islamofascism may be returning to its previous state: the lunatic fringe, where it belongs.Sphere It View blog reactions

Flash Fiction: Inbox
An old one. Maybe it seems like an odd choice, thanks to its melancholy, but it was written during New Year's once, and seemed sort of appropriate, if angst-y.
My inbox used to be full of you. And I hadn't realized just how much it had emptied, just how trivial the content there had become, until I went through and deleted old messages today. I started at day one and went all the way through, watched as my inbox went from a place to send school syllabi and student loan information, to a receptacle for all of our screwing around, all of the incoherent emails only the two of us could understand. I watched it fill up, as if that whole time it had been a dried up well, and only once your emails started pinging into existence did it begin to fill.
It was a bad idea, all around. Because you no longer exist in my inbox. You have been gone for a long time, because I deleted even the memories of you, the ghosts of you. It is the modern way to erase a person from one's life: delete the missive, empty the trash. E-burning, maybe. Love letters now just cyber ash on a data highway. And it was almost worse to look for you, searching desperately in all of my e-scrap piles, and not find you, than it would have been to find even a single correspondence and read it. This is the only place I ever touched you, and those touches are gone. This inbox is an empty cardboard casket I never got to bury You and Me in.
I dig through thousands of emails, knowing I won't find any semblance of the water in this once-full well. But I have never been thirstier in my life, and now there is nothing to drink.

One word that tends to come to mind readily when it comes to looking at the critical reputation of the Dave Matthews Band is polarizing. I find it hard to understand why this has to be the case. Admittedly, I have never gone to a DMB concert, but I have appreciated their songs on the radio and on albums for quite some time, and the band is one I consider myself at least a moderate fan of. It's hard for me to figure out what is polarizing about the band–they release songs that are reflective, often mellow, and sometimes immensely dark, are a live touring behemoth who have released dozens of live albums to their large fanbase, and for more than a quarter of a century the band has produced music that blends elements of jazz and pop and rock together in a compelling way that allows room for improvisation as well as some immensely layered and worthwhile hooks for popular radio. It seems unjust that some people would blame the band for being popular with a group of people who call themselves "Crash Girls" given that the band deliberately records and releases songs that have darker elements and cannot be blamed if people misinterpret their music.
The Influence Of Dave Matthews Band
The influence that Dave Matthews Band has had on music has been a deep one, but certainly a subtle one. For one, the band has made it clear that there is a great deal of goodwill to be gained in releasing live albums of decent quality to avoid bootlegs. While some bands have been interested in suing their customers for recording bootlegs, the Dave Matthews Band figured (correctly) that anyone willing to pay for overpriced bootlegs would pay for better livetrax albums, with the result that the band has a massively successful live reputation that has been honed by one successful live album after another in addition to their massively popular studio albums. With their catchy and tuneful blend of musical elements, including a great deal of jazz through their saxophone and violin, the Dave Matthews Band is far more than a jam band, and has demonstrated a way for bands that are outside of the mainstream of pop to demonstrate lasting power through developing a rabid and enthusiastic and diverse group of fans while keeping the quality of their music high for decades even in the absence of continual radio hits.
Why Dave Matthews Band Belongs In The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame
The Dave Matthews Band has several obvious and massive cases for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. For one, the band has a live reputation and fanbase that can only be compared to legendary jam bands like the Grateful Dead (inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame), including no less than 78 live albums they have released over the course of their recording. Whether Dave Matthews has been performing on an accoustic tour with Tim Reynolds or the whole band has been assembled including friends for massive efforts, their live reputation is solid. In addition to that, the band has had immense success with their singles and especially their albums. Their last seven albums, including 2018's Come Tomorrow, have debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts and every single one of their studio albums has been or could be certified at least gold (with five of them certified multi-platinum). At least seven of their live albums have been certified at least gold (with two of them certified multi-platinum), and they even have a gold compilation album. They only have four top 40 hits on pop radio, mainly because none of their singles charted there until their third album, but they have been dominant on AAA radio, notching twenty-one top 10 hits and nine #1 hits ("Too Much," "Don't Drink The Water," "Stay (Wasting Time)," "I Did It," "The Space Between," "Everyday," "Where Are You Going?," "Funny The Way It Is," and "Mercy") [1]. It is hard to imagine a band that has done more for the thoughtful and reflective AAA market than Dave Matthews Band, even though the band has certainly crossed over to adult rock, alternative, mainstream rock, and pop radio as well (where their first single, "What Would You Say was a top ten hit)." It's hard to imagine a band that is better qualified to stand as torchbearers for relevant and beloved American rock in the contemporary age.
Why Dave Matthews Band Isn't In The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame
They've only been eligible a couple of years, and their first studio album didn't come out until 1994, so it's possible that a lot of people simply don't know that they are eligible for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (their first live album, the platinum "Remember Two Things," was released in 1993). It is very likely, though, that given their massive first week sales of more than 300,000 with their 2018 smash "Come Tomorrow" and their continued relevance in pop culture (including an interesting turn in the movie Lady Bird), that the band will not have to wait too long to be inducted. With album sales so strong and their live presence and fanbase so overwhelmingly powerful, it's likely only a matter of time before they get their due credit.
Verdict: Put them in. This is a no-brainer.

Skip to comments.Nucor to set up plate mill in U.S. Midwest for $1.35 billion
Posted on 01/07/2019 4:32:28 AM PST by machman
.....will be fully operational in 2022, would produce 1.2 million tons a year of steel plate products and create about 400 full-time jobs.....
(Excerpt) Read more at finance.yahoo.com ...
"Tax reform, continued improvements to our regulatory approach and strong trade enforcement are giving businesses like ours the confidence to make long-term capital investments here in the United States," Chief Executive Officer John Ferriola said in a statement.
No longer treating Welfare as an industry.
Komatsu Milwaukee, currently in the old Joy Global/P&E plant, is building a new mega-facility a few miles away and will be completed sometime in the 2023 time frame.
A 1.35 Billion gamble on Trump's economic policies continuing and the China trade imbalance will drop.
I wonder of that confidence will remain after g the Pelosi House gets up and running? The 2018 election has cast the future in doubt.
Magic wand.
China has been screwing with us for years.
1.3 Billion dollar factory with only 400 jobs? There must a lot of robotic automation involved here.
Too early. Please add a "be."
Have you ever been in a plate mill?
It's the equipment costs.
Press release:
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Nucor Corporation (NYSE: NUE) today announced plans to build a state-of-the-art plate mill in the U.S. Midwest. Nucor's Board of Directors has approved an investment of $1.35 billion to build the mill, which is expected to be fully operational in 2022 and will be capable of producing 1.2 million tons per year of steel plate products. The project is expected to create approximately 400 full-time jobs.
"This investment is consistent with our drive to continue delivering sustainable, profitable growth and superior returns for shareholders," said John Ferriola, Chairman, CEO & President of Nucor. "Together with the significant share repurchases completed in 2018, the Board's decision to fund this high-return opportunity demonstrates our commitment to balanced capital allocation. We have a strong foundation to build upon as we advance our goal of leading in every market in which we compete."
Leon Topalian, Executive Vice President of Beam and Plate products, said, "By building this state-of-the-art plate mill in the Midwest the largest plate-consuming area in the United States we will enhance our ability to serve our customers in the region while also furthering our goal of meeting all the steel needs of our customers around the country. We expect to select a site for the new mill early this year. Our team is poised and ready to take the next step in advancing our position in steel plate products."
The new plate mill will produce cut-to-length, coiled, heat-treated, and discrete plate ranging from 60 to 160 inches wide, and in gauges from 3/16 of an inch to 14 inches in thickness; enabling Nucor to supply plate products that the Company does not currently offer. Nucor currently operates plate mills in North Carolina, Alabama and Texas.
"This administration is taking the decisive and meaningful actions that American manufacturers need to compete on a level playing field," Ferriola said. "Tax reform, continued improvements to our regulatory approach and strong trade enforcement are giving businesses like ours the confidence to make long-term capital investments here in the U.S. that create jobs and ensure our success for decades to come."
That's the art of business -— Making irrevocable decisions based on insufficient information.
this high-return opportunity
But theres no future in steel! The left told me!
Back in the late 1990s when I was writing "The Entrepreneurial Adventure: A History of American Business" (later reprinted as "American Entrepreneur"), I was researching Nucor and called the company headquarters for an appointment to interview the president, Ken Iverson. I got a secretary and expected to be given a calendar date of two or three months out to call back. Instead I got a beep: "Ken Iverson."
I was stunned. In one call I did an interview with the president of the third largest steel company in America, while getting a meeting with the president of my own (fairly dinky) little college too months!
Nucor, at the time, had a manager-to-plant ratio of .9 (!!!)
My university had three provosts, several assistant provosts, five deans, and at least five assistant deans for a student body of 6,000 regular students.
And people wonder why universities are so inept.
Yep lots of automation. That is why they refer to it as "state of the art" in the article I also bet the cost of these machines that move the plate is not cheap.
Interesting insight! Thanks for posting.
Is this 'wall steel' they will be producing?

Power Cord + Classic Reel Combo
By: t phamThe power cord is the BEST poly I've ever used . It keeps its tension like FOREVER and is so easy on the arm, not like some "old school" poly I've used before. The freshly strung racquet also give a "pop" which is really music to my ears :) That's will be my main string from now on for sure!
By: Dong Dong HouI ordered several power cord+ classic reel combos because it's a great price to try out the two strings. I have been buying from golden set for over two years. The power cord gives good power and spin while having the feel that when the ball is struck, it doesn't go as far. Thats good for my game cause I like to hit hard and not have the ball travel too far. I also string for my USTA team and they love the playability of the power cord. The power cord on the mains and classic on the crosses is a great combination of spin, feel and control. Thanks goldenset for bringing this new soft copoly to your website.

This Website Shows You What It's Like to Have Dyslexia
So many of the disorders that afflict modern society are deeply misunderstood by the general public. Certain mental disorders, like seasonal and clinical depression 5 Ways Technology Might Be Feeding Your Depression Technology can worsen depression. With tech enveloping our lives, we should be more aware of technology's potential impact on us. There are some things you can do to lessen the burden. Read More , have been getting more and more attention, but others have been left in the dust.
One of these disorders is dyslexia, which can manifest itself in several different ways, but the main thing is a difficulty with words — whether that means reading, writing, or spelling. In fact, it's the most common learning disability in the world.
That's why everyone should visit Dsxyliea, a website that demonstrates the kind of struggle that dyslexic people have to deal with every single day. The ailment has nothing to do with intelligence or aptitude — as you'll soon see the moment you open the page.
Admittedly, the website shows how dyslexia would manifest in an extreme case, but the general concept is sound: letters seem to "jump around" at random, which means reading takes a whole lot of concentration.
I admit that this was an eye-opening experience for me, and I'm amazed that all it took was a bit of JavaScript to do so. If you suffer from dyslexia, or know someone who does, consider using this helpful font designed for dyslexics.
Was this as eye-opening for you as it was for me? If you have any other websites like this that help provide glimpses into certain disorders, please share them with us in the comments!

Date Joined: January 26, 2010
Last Online: October 9, 2018
Birthday: November 5, 1955
Country: New Zealand
50 something crafter for over 15 years now. Love mostly making cards and doing internet swaps. going to classes learning new techniques. Do a little part time work in respite care work with the elderly and volunteer work with the Red Cross and also back doing Caring Caller for St John Very caring and generious as well. Starting to journal again and would love to do private swaps on a one to one basis with a trustworthy person.
Huge fan of Andre Rieu in fact are lucky enough to be going to his concert here in New Zealand in October. I also love music from the 70's 80's and 90's/ Music to me is a great therapy and when I am creating cards and scrapbooking love to listen to my favourite CDs or have DVD's playing in the background in my craft room/
Have always love to read and finally getting back into regular reading these days.. Always enjoyed Danielle Steel books but find that more and more I am reading historical romance novels. Also like to read true story books as well.
Again I like those based on true stories or the kids cartoon movies that have good story lines. Just watched Astro Boy last night. Recent movies have been The Young Victoria and have booked on Sky to watch My sister's keeper. Favourite movies from the past are An Officer and a Gentleman as Richard Gere is one of my favourite actors. Updating this to include watching this weekend The Chipmunks The Sqeaul (sp) movie which had me cracking up laughing all the way through this movie.
Like watching Masterchef Australia and Masterchef New Zealand, Coronation Street, The Bill, Cold Case, Criminal Minds and shows like Police 10/7 a New Zealand cop show, Rapid Response, Rescue One, Animal House Border Patrol and and sports games like Rugby Union, Rugby league, some soccer and horse racing. I also like Highway Patrol,Winners and Loosers,Packe to the Rafters,Two and a half men,Hot in Cleveland, Harry's Law
Favourite crafts are mostly to do with card making, love making all kinds of cards and do dabble with a bit of scrapbooking and art journalling as well and to include here becoming hooked on doing journalling. There are so many different ways out there that one can do these that it doesn't have to be the mundane boring every day stuff either.Just started doing collage art and now getting into making zines as well Favourite stamp compaies are Hero Arts and Inkadinkadoo. Love my Cuttlebug its the best tool that I have in card making. collect pretty designer papers particularly 6x6 designer pads, love clear unmounted stamps,use embellishments like rhinestones and pearls by Kaisercraft, stickers peel offs/like sentiment type peel offs, Happy birthday,happy Christmas, Best Wishes in gold and silver. Kaiser flowers and trims(ribbons) and prima flowers as well With stamped images I love anything Christmas,floral, animals butterflies and dragonflies Asian themed,quotes and sentiments
Also looking for one or two pen pals looking at long term friendships with writing when you can as I realise we are all busy these days. Looking at one to one swaps in card making related swaps either with embellishments or cards with themes. Did I mention one to one swaps as in themed journal swaps and the like. Love cooking even though I am a Diabetic. Also quite like making home made postcards with specific themes to swap as well.And also collect postcards as well.Would like to do personal zine one to one swaps with people who could show me new ideas for these.
If sending things to me please note that I live in New Zealand and the customs department will not let things through like feathers, potpourri and stuff like that. Our border patrol is very very strict with stuff like this. Can't think of anything else to add at this point but do check back often as I will probably update if I think of other things to add here. Adding to my profile . I am starting to make zines using the one sheet method and hoping to join a few basic swaps for these where possible.
With my postcards I prefer mine unwritten on in most instances and put in an envelope as that way they don't get lost.(have had this happen a bit over the years of being an avid collector).Having said that if the swap calls for it to be written on and sent naked I can also oblige that way and just hope the Post don't loose them in transit. I have just seen some lovely black and white type postcards that look like they are vintage or there abouts I don't mind receiving these, generally my love is landscapes and the such but old buildings cats children that sort of postcard is fine by me as well.Also like multi view type postcards too. Adding to my postcard profile. I don't mind them coming to me naked.
NOTECARDS Starting back into collecting notecards now as well, writing notecards can be a lot better for me than to write long letters to penpals as I can run out of things to say there. My preferences are for floral, scenes at the moment but this will grow as i get more into building my collection again
I am also getting back into ATCs again. I have about 3 full ring binders with ATCs that I have collected through various Internet swaps. I liked themed ATCS the best, letters of the alphabet are fine, and themes like animals,floral, winged things people,travel are what I normally like to do but am also open to trying new themes as well. I am also now that I am semi retired getting back into photography and have already joined some of the photography swaps here. I like taking photos of scenes most of all but as well like taking photos of things of interest either in my own area or places that I visit. People are ok too but have to learn to not cut off their heads or feet when taking photos of them. I am also getting into journal writing and journal swaps with different prompts and as well now adding quotes to that list. I want to add here the reason for my recent three. I hadn't read the instructions properly and had sent my 100 prompts in an envelope rather than sending them in a whimsey jar. the recipient was happy with what she did receive just that I hadn't sent it how it should have been.

Hi, Carol, I just mailed off your poetry/quote journal today. Don't know how long it will take to get to you from California. You can be looking for it though.
Just wondered if you got either the original notecard I sent or the resend yet. Looking forward to hearing how you like them!
I was just about to sign up for your Sentence a Day Journal Swap for March...but it disappeared on me. Just wanted to make sure it was cancelled on purpose and not just mysteriously gone. :) Will you be hosting one for April? I hope all is well! I really enjoyed participating in the December one. :)
Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I resent the "What do you know about my country? #6" postcard earlier this week, so keep an eye out for it :)
Hi Carol, I just got the second card in today's mail. Thanks so much, it is very sweet. And also, thanks for the sheep stickers and postcards. I would love to rate you again but I'll just say thanks. Rosalie
Hi there! Here's the international version of my Random Musings Journal swap! http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/95728
I'm glad you enjoyed the letter and postcard. I hope you'll remember to rate me for them. :)
The postman picked up your letter today. You should receive soon I hope..LOL Mail goes really slow at times..
Thank you for joining my Hometown Newspaper swap! I like your profile! We have some common interests. One being postcards. I have started a collection of them. I have often wondered since I've joined sb... What is a whimsey jar?

Exeter start-ups need your support to win prestigious Royal competition
Three innovative Exeter start-ups, each making giant steps in their respective industries, are calling on locals for support as they compete to win the People's Choice Award at the prestigious Pitch@Palace final.
Biosystems Ltd, Build Solar and OTA Water, which are all supported by the SETsquared Business Acceleration Centre Exeter, have progressed into the final of the Pitch@Palace People's Choice Award, where winning will give the businesses an opportunity to secure investment to support future growth.

Brings back memories of my youth where I too came face to face with a tiger.
Taronga Park Zoo in Sydney ;-)

Ah the memories ;-)

APSA Annual Conference 2019
Australian Political Studies Association Conference 2019 – Shifting Identities, Political Change, and the Idea of the 'Nation'
When: 22nd-25th September, 2019
Where: Hosted by Flinders University, Bedford Park, Main Campus, Adelaide, South Australia
The theme for this year's conference is focussing on questions of political identity, political change, linked to wider themes of nation and nation-hood.
Politics in the early 21st century is undergoing significant transformation across the globe, with the rise of populism, new threats to democracy and related challenges. These issues present wider challenges to the nation-state, and shifting ideas of citizenship and belonging. An ongoing concern for political science is to better understand the underpinning dynamics of political change, but also continuity.
APSA 2019 will also have a dedicated focus on Indigenous politics and policy issues, and the wider process of reconciliation. We strongly encourage papers and panels that examine these core question, that go to the heart of Australian 'identity' and nation-hood.
In terms of political change in the Australian context, we see further evidence of leadership instability. We invite papers that examine change in key political traditions and institutions in a wide range of fields, including social policy, political economy, and international relations.
We strongly encourage colleagues to join these ongoing debates about political change, identity, and nation-hood, and there are streams that include Australian politics, gender and identity politics, comparative politics, public policy, media and politics, Indigenous politics and policy.
At APSA 2019, we will also have a dedicated stream on Politics in Asia, examining issues of change, identity and nation across the continent and region.
Call for Papers and Panels
For the 2019 APSA conference we are inviting papers and panels to consider the wider question of political change, political identity, and nation and nation-hood. Within different contexts, the conference will explore what has changed about current political debates and institutions, and what has remained the same. We are keen to explore related ideas of how citizenship is being redefined and challenged, and the future and contested nature of the nation-state. We invite papers and panels for the following stream areas: Australian politics, comparative politics, environmental politics, public policy and governance, gender and sexuality, political theory, media and politics, Indigenous politics, International Relations, and Asia and Politics.
Please visit the conference website for all conference details.
Any other enquiries can be directed to Dr Rob Manwaring email@example.com at Flinders University.

- Make sure that your panels have an even copper distribution on each layer and between different layers. If needed add extra copper patterns inside the circuits, in between the PCB"s or in the panel border.
- Evenly distributed copper enhances the overall quality of the panel:
- Better mechanical stability ( reduced risk for bow and twist )
- well balanced copper plating in the PTH holes and on the copper pattern.
- This means that when you design panels containing different PCB"s you should only combine circuits with the same number of layers into the panel. For instance, never combine 4-layer, 2-layer and 0-layer PCB"s in 1 panel. This will surely cause mechanical stability ( and a lot of other ) problems. Major problems are bow and twist, and differences in copper plating in the holes.
- We calculate a plating index in PCB Visualizer to give you an idea about the plating behaviour of your board. Tricks and hints to enhance the copper distribution you can find here

The repertoire's spine is supplied by way of the competitive Veresov commencing (1 d4, 2 Nc3 and three Bg5) and this weapon is followed via both opposed innovations opposed to different Black attempts similar to the French, Caro-Kann, Dutch, Benoni, Pirc and Philidor. those guns are excellent offerings if you happen to experience forcing competitors into chaotic, uncomfortable positions.
*Opening guns to surprise and confound opponents
*Covers all of Black's major defences

The last twelve months in music production have been prolific to say the least for Craig Connelly, with no less than 11 Beatport Top 10 selling Trance productions to date including two number 1's 'Black Hole' & 'Robot Wars' with remixes for John O'Callaghan and Aly & Fila. However, his biggest step involves clubbing together a mix for Goodgreef Future Trance featuring some of toughest, most deadly current and upcoming trance music available to man, beast or DJ.
As DJ, producer and man with the A&R plan at Garuda Records, Craig Connelly has been carving up floors the right way for 4+ years. To his mix, he brings one floor-waxer after another, and frontend that means the reunion of Re:Locate & Robert Nickson on 'Recognition', his revision of Andy Moor 'Fade To Light'; his own Beatport-busting 'Decibels' and Armin's latest Gaia creation, 'Empire Of Hearts'. Further in Mark Sixma & Jerome Isma-Ae's 'Refused', Protoculture 'Music Is More Than Mathematics', Alex M.O.R.P.H.'s 'My Heaven' and Omnia trancelation of Gareth Emery/Krewella collab 'Lights & Thunder' all grab their time to shine. Lifting the mix to near vertigo-inducing levels, Aly & Fila's 'Speed Of Sound', Kandi & Wilkinson's 'Cityscape' and O'Callaghan revamp of Lange's 'Unfamiliar Truth' seal Craig's deal.
We made it a mission to get in touch with Craig to learn more about the Goodgreef Future Trance compilation along with a few other topics. Check out what Craig had to say. 🙂
T.H.E – Tell us a little about Goodgreef Future Trance.
Craig Connelly – Goodgreef is one of the most consistant and reliable trance brands of the last 20 years and this compilation is a snapshot of the sounds you can expect from the clubbing brand!
T.H.E – How was your approach to this mix when it came to track selection?
Craig Connelly – Just tried my best to remain true to myself and what I think works on a dance floor when im playing. Nothing too deep or brooding, just great music of the last 6 months and an expression of my own productions.
T.H.E – What is future trance according to you? What kind of sounds will be massive in the trance scene in the future?
Craig Connelly – Trance has never really stopped evolving, right now it's hard to say what will be massive as there's not really any peaks and troffs In the sound, it's just a constant evolution. The internet seams to be going nuts for the harder faster stuff right now but that's not a true representation of what works on the dance floors, my biggest reactions come from the darker slower tracks. I think the sounds will separate for a bit longer before meeting back in the middle again, but not for about 2-3 years when people get over the 140 hype.
T.H.E – What is your opinion on the other two mixes in the compilation?
Craig Connelly – Superb! I've played with both these guys in the clubs and it's interresting to see what they would play given the chance to induldge their own tastes a bit more. Great compilation over all.
T.H.E – Who are the most underrated producers in the trance scene according to you?
Craig Connelly – Rafaël Frost is probably the best mix engineer I've ever heard, has to be him. Notable mentions to Mark Sixma, Husman and Markus Wilkinson.
T.H.E – One trance classic you just don't get tired of listening to.
Craig Connelly – Above & Beyond – No One On Earth (Gabriel & Dresden Remix)
T.H.E – What can we expect from you in the second half of 2014?
Craig Connelly – A shit load of new productions and remixes, and possibly a sniff of the start of my artist album, maybe…
What do you think of our interview? We would love to hear your views. Post them in the comments' section below! 🙂

- ULTRA Worldwide Announces ULTRA Singapore | Becomes Two-Day, Three-Stage Festival - January 18, 2016

text: I'm trying to use the 1018 IfKit to sense an alarm panel when it goes off. It has a hardwire interface that closes like a relay when the alarm goes off. I am assuming that these should be connected to the digital inputs. However, there is voltage on the the terminals themselves (12volts DC). Is it safe to connect it to the digital inputs then?

The endowment fund is the financial heart of Cordia Group of Institutions. In the face of economic change and inflation, the long-term vitality and security of the Cordia Group of Institutions depends on the growth and health of our endowment. Income from the endowment is used to provide financial aid to students, expand student-faculty research opportunities, continue academic initiatives, recruit and retain an exceptional faculty, and support programs in perpetuity. Your investment in the endowment is an investment in the future of our students.
Student tuition does not cover the entire cost of good quality education. Your support of the endowment is an important investment that ensures scholarship assistance for students, collaborative student/faculty research, and supports academic innovation in changing times.
Endowment support is a focused priority for us as an institution. To remain competitive we must increase the endowment for student scholarships, faculty positions, and building maintenance. Your investment in Cordia's endowment will ensure that the Cordia experience will endure for future Generations.
Lord Diljit Rana
The Lord Rana Edu City, under the auspices of Lord Rana Edu-City, Sanghol, Punjab, a synonym of excellence in education is based on Panchmukhi Sikhsa Ideology, committed to all round educational growth and the five dimensional development of its students.
An academic leader with international standing, the students and the faculty are continuously engaged in creative and innovative teaching and learning pedagogies.
The Institutions were set up by support from Lord Diljit Rana who had a dream to transform the lives of the rural youth of India.
Our philosophy on education is driven by our mission of providing holistic and transformational education to our students. We firmly believe that education must not be limited purely to academic learning. At Cordia Group of Institutions, our focus is to develop all faculties of an individual to ensure full development.
MENTAL EDUCATION to develop high levels of concentration, power of observation, analytical organization, decision-making skills, and most importantly faculties of creativity and intuition.
VITAL EDUCATION for the development of one's character. Learning how to build and manage relationships and controlling emotions. The development of faculties for the appreciation of drama, music, arts, sports and the drive for self perfection as an individual.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION for agility, strength, flexibility, team building and collaboration.
SPIRITUAL EDUCATION for the growth of consciousness from a lower to higher level and for the development of deeper and larger values
Education has an unrivalled ability to change lives, both for those who have the opportunity to study, and for those who benefit from their knowledge. Making knowledge accessible has been one of the founding principles of Cordia Group of Institutions.
Thus, maintaining our ability to change lives through access to higher education will depend on the philanthropic support for scholarships and endowment funds from various sources. By contributing to these funds you will be providing opportunities for a diverse and vibrant student community. You will be changing lives and enabling them to improve the lives of many others, at a time of uncertainty for all, and when financial limits may prevent many promising students from pursuing higher education.
Cordia Group of Institutions must have the resources to respond to changing trends in higher education. In order to remain competitive, it is imperative that the Institution embraces emerging technologies and new academic and research innovations. It is imperative that Cordia Group has the resources to attract and retain an exceptional faculty and a diverse and talented student body.
• Scholarship Scholarships assure the enrolment of talented students who would otherwise be unable to consider the Cordia experience without financial support.
• Faculty Recruitment and Retention: Cordia Group of Institutions competes with the best institutions in attracting outstanding teacher-scholars. Resources which provide competitive salaries and start-up funds to faculty are critical to our success.
• Undergraduate Research: Cordia Group of Institutions is nationally recognized for student-faculty collaborative research—it is one of our key distinctive. Research occurs across all the disciplines and is integral to learning at Cordia. Support will enable more students to engage in research opportunities and enhance Cordia's national visibility.
• Spiritual Life and Development: Endowed resources enable the Cordia team to provide programs and opportunities that prepare students for the personal and spiritual challenges of today's world.
• Preparing Servant Leaders: Endowed funds will ensure the continuance of excellent externally funded programs which helps students understand their calling. A new Career Development Center provides a value-added component as we prepare students to serve and lead in the world.
• Co-curricular opportunities: Similar to the Career Development Center, there are many programs that are integral to learning but are beyond the traditional curriculum. Through endowment support, Cordia is able to provide opportunities and enrichment experiences in international education and multicultural life that prepare students for a global society.
Financial pressures can deter gifted and talented individuals from pursuing their ambitions. One of the prime aims of The Cordia Group of Institutions is to make resources available to ambitious, creative and academically gifted students who wish to broaden their opportunities through University Education.
This cannot be achieved by the Institution alone, so it is essential that we attract philanthropic support. Our Scholarship fund is designed for this very purpose; it will enable us to set aside a fund to provide a secure financial stream and so ensure that we have dedicated funds available to support our students.
Annual Scholarship
Annual Scholarship funds are typically distributed the year they are received by Cordia Group of Institution, or the following year. They are usually unrestricted and underwrite an existing scholarship program at the Institution. The minimum about of such a scholarship is $ 15,000 in a year.
Endowed Scholarship An endowed scholarship fund provides scholarship year after year from the portion of the fund's earnings. By providing at least $50,000 in funding, you can create an endowed Scholarship Fund. You will be able to specify grade-point average, major or other criteria that a student must meet in order to receive your scholarship.
A gift to the Scholarship Fund creates a lasting legacy of support and funds for students now & in the future (Punch Line)
An endowment to the Cordia Group of institutions is a gift intended to permanently support the Institution. The original principal, or corpus, of the funds must remain intact and invested while its earnings support students, faculty or programs for the purposes that the donor designates.
Endowments allow the Institution to create and maintain excellence in academics beyond what can be accomplished from internal sources of funding. Endowments provide the funds for scholarships, fellowships, professorships, academic chairs, libraries, innovative technologies and programs that serve as crucial elements of student and faculty recruitment and retention.
Perhaps the most important aspect of establishing an endowment is that it allows the donor to accomplish their philanthropic goals directly while helping the Institution fund its initiatives. The reason creating a named endowment are varied: the satisfaction of supporting academic excellence; the gratification of furthering important research; pleasure of honouring a spouse, family member or colleague in a way that is meaningful to him or her; the comfort of memorializing a loved one with a living legacy.
1. Endowed Scholarship Funds A initial contribution of $50,000 is required to establish an endowed scholarship. A scholarship is considered endowed once it reaches a market value of $100,000.
2. Endowed Chairs
A permanent chair may be established through a one-time gift of $ 250,000 that provides in perpetuity the annual funds needed for its support. Alternatively, a chair may be established if funds are made available for a minimum of ten years ($150,000).
3. Endowed Professorships A contribution of $150,000 allows Cordia Group of Institutions to fully recognize and support our most distinguished faculty in innovative research and sabbaticals and creates a new faculty position.
4. Endowed Lectureships allow Cordia Group of institutions to continue its rich tradition of fostering debate and discourse on issues of the day. Income from the gift of $100,000 is used to attract nationally & internationally renowned and distinguished speakers.
5. Student-Faculty Research Funds A one-time gift of $100,000 encourages student-faculty research across the curriculum. They provide summer stipends to needy students and allow them to remain on campus to work with their faculty members on research projects. This is also used to offset some of the cost of the student in completing their degree program.
6. General Endowment/Named Funds Cordia Group of Institution welcomes support and gifts from donors who have other specific and designated gifts in mind. Subject to approval by the Board of Management of the Institution, donors will find flexibility and cooperation in creating endowments to fund opportunities that meet their vision. This endowment can be created through a one-time minimum gift of $100,000.
Invest in our most important asset – minds of the future.
Thank You for Your Support Thank you for considering your support for Cordia Group of Institutions. Your interest and philanthropic response to Cordia's endowment needs will undoubtedly strengthen and sustain the Institution for generations. Through your support and investment together, we can ensure that exceptional educational opportunities endure at Cordia Group of Institutions. Endowing a scholarship, faculty position, or academic program, ensures not only the University's financial security but also helps future students afford an education that otherwise might not have been possible. Through your efforts and those of so many others, we can help to assure the Cordia experience we know to be so vital to our world for future graduates. Furthermore, your investment inspires the confidence to continue to strike the balance of academic excellence and spiritual vibrancy that makes Cordia Group of Institutions a unique and special place so many of us hold dear.

Blood Milk Jewels
Belonging To The Underworld Part II: Rose Quartz
Blood Milk Jewels
Belonging To The Underworld Part II: Rose Quartz
Inspired by my 'Belonging to The Darkness" ring series which embodies themes from the Persephone myth, this version is an update of the original 'Belonging to the Underworld' ring and features an antique setting married to two bat wing bones.
This ring is akin to an "engagement" ring, created in homage to the goddess Persephone, wife of Hades and Queen of the Underworld. Personally, it represents a way of showing a commitment, a belonging to something or someone, an idea, a specific period of time in your life, an emotion, and more potently, to the notion of belonging to yourself. This ring can also symbolize elements / aspects / memories that we are looking to let go of but still want represented in our lives: a symbol of self acceptance despite there being aspects of oneself that's undesirable or repressed. For me personally, it's a symbol of my ongoing journey of accepting my melancholia & ( at times ) paralyzingly sensitivity. It's a symbol of being strong & vulnerable. A symbol of meeting your shadow and allowing it to stay.
-Sits 10mm off of the finger
-7.5mm fine cut round rose quartz
-Cast in sterling silver, oxidized to achieve our signature shade of gloomy gray and hand finished to reveal the highlights beneath
**Please note that Rose Quartz is an entirely natural, earth made stone. It gets its name from its delicate pink color, which can range from very light, almost white pink tones, to medium-dark. The gem's inclusions give it a characteristic cloudy translucence.
If you have any preferences about the stone we choose for you, please reach out to us via email@example.com after placing your order.**
This jewel is handmade to order, just for you, with care and focus. Due to the influx of orders during our Rose Quartz Sale, please allow approximately 5 - 6 weeks for creation before shipping.
