"Upgrade Flute"
I had a Trevor James flute as my student flute but as I progressed I needed a better flute with a silver headjoint. I tried some flutes over at justflutes and this one was by far the best, it had a nice deep tone on the lower register and it was not difficult to obtain some sweet sounding higher notes. The dynamics in the top register don't require too much effort and playing quietly is not a problem.
The middle register is good, not too airy, and pitching the notes is easy. The mechanism is great, there's not much clicking or sticking with the keys. The only problem is that it marks easily but I'm ok with that as long an I try not to scratch it.
I would recommend this flute, buying it has hugely improved my playing.

"Cantabile III Flute"
This was a Christmas present so early days yet. This instrument was recommended by my daughter's flute teacher to take her into her Grade 7 exam and forwards and hasn't disappointed. A noticable difference between this and her old Yamaha starter flute. No negatives yet! Very please with the purchase and the service provided by justflutes.com
"Upgrading from learner flute."
After playing the Trevor J James XX for a couple of years and no longer being happy with my tone decide to buy by myself a christmas present.
Want a silver head, open holes and a b foot joint to extend my range, since I dont want to buy another flute for while.
The finish to the flute is fabulous, on the down side the head joint marks very easily and now has a small scratch from a ring. Moving from a silver plate head joint to a silver head joint was easier than I thought and the flute has improved my tone. The open holes dont seem to have made a difference apart from being able to feel the air vibrate as you play. Simular to a wooden folk flute which I also play.
Overall very please with my purchase and hope to get many a happy tune from it.

Praying in Unison
Did you join us in prayer on Wednesday, February 21? Maybe you didn't choose to fast or dedicate the day to prayer, but I hope you spent some time holding up this broken nation before the God of the Universe.
I watched the morning news with the pause button in hand, so that I could stop and pray about individual news stories. My instinct was to curl up with a bowl of cereal or stick in a piece of toast as I watched; I wasn't yet hungry enough to remember I was fasting.
I even found myself thanking the Lord for a stand by President Trump. He is calling for strengthening background checks and a ban on accessories that turn legal guns into assault weapons. So common sense that it should be bi-partisan.
Being Still
I recently attended a women's retreat sponsored by my home church at Country Lake Retreat Center, Underwood, Indiana. I went, thinking it would be a chance to see lots of old friends. There were a few, but mostly it was a time of meeting new friends—younger women who are picking up the torch of encouraging women in their walk of faith and running with it.
A King Worth Serving
Praying through Messiah
Last December I was in New Haven, Connecticut, and attended a Messiah sing-along with the Yale concert choir and orchestra in their marvellous chapel. This fall I joined a local choral group to perform Handel's Messiah with another regional choir and a small local orchestra. Even though I drove nearly an hour each way for rehearsals and an hour and a half for one of the concerts, it was worth it. We gave three performances, well supported by the small-town communities.
Yahweh, Show Your Power!
In Valerie Comer's fantasy novel Majai's Fury reviewed here, Shanh, the Jonah-inspired character sent from his legalistically god-fearing culture to invite a sinful city to believe, calls on his god to protect him. "Azhvah, show your power!" and he does, often in miraculous ways. But then, as with the God of the Bible, there are times when he seems not to. He leaves his followers to suffer while he brings Shahn out of his strict legalism into true relationship.
There are so many times when I have no idea how to pray.
We recently celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of my home church, Faith Missionary Church in Indianapolis, Indiana. I was a charter member at age thirteen, and FMC has been our largest supporting church over the years so there were lots of old friends to see. Saturday night was a picnic. Most fun for me were <!--more-->conversations with one of my former Pioneer Girls, now an oncology nurse, and with a thirteen-year-old budding writer who grew up in West Africa.

In 1969 I decided to take my vacation and use it to participate in Corning, NY where the locals had arranged to hold the New York State Championship at the Corning Glass Corporation. I earlier wrote A Salute to An American Icon featuring my battle with John W. Collins from round 2. My success gave me a 2-0 score and lo and behold I was next paired with my fellow club president member, the famous amateur Dr. Erich W. Marchand who was to win this event (one of many) with a total score of 8-1! So set up your chessmen and enjoy the battle!
Through the years I have played many exciting games with my opponent and probably got the white forces about 60% of the time. For some strange reason, Dr. Marchand always seemed to defend with one of the Sicilian Defense set ups. That pleased me because I had a high percentage of success against this opening for some reason.
Don Reithel — White Dr. Erich W. Marchand–Black
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 a6 I believe this is the first time I met this defensive idea but had some knowledge of its peculiarities. It is called the Kan Variation and is quite popular due to the hedgehog type defensive ideas it espouses. Being familiar with Marchand's positional style I dismissed a 5.c4 variation and decided to choose to develop my pieces to good squares in keeping with my own philosophy of opening strategy.
5.Bd3! This seems to me to be the most flexible plan for white. With this, white can avoid playing Nc3 where b5 could prove annoying later on.
5…Bc5 6.Nb3 Ba7 7.0-0 Nc6 8.Kh1 Nge7 9.f4 d5 10.e5 g6 11.c3 Building a stop gap at d4.
11…h5 12.N1d2 Ng8 My opponent, like Collins before him, enters into a N tour that is giving me space and a free-hand development edge.
13.Nf3 Nh6 14.Qe1 Na5 15.Nbd4 Bd7 16.Be3 Rc8 20.Rc1 Ng4 21.Bg1 Be7 22.h3 Nh6 23.g3 Na8 24.Be3 Rc7 25.c4 dxc4 26.Bxc4 Ba3 27.Rd1 Qc8 28.Ng5 b5 29.Bd3 Nf5 30.Ne4 Be7 31.Nxf5 gxf5 32.Nd6+ Bxd6 33.exd6 Bc6+ 34.Kh2 Rd7 35.Bxf5! Taking advantage of the fact that the f5 pawn is tactically not protected by e6 because of the pin on the e-file and so the King must move to safety.
35…Kf8 36.Qc3 Rh6 37.Be4 h4 38.Qxc6 hxg3+ 39.Kg2 Qe8 40.Qxa8 Rd8 41.Qc6 Rd7 42.f5 Rh5 43.f6 Kg8 44.Rf3 a5 45.Rxg3+ Kh8 46.Bf3 Rh7 47.Bb6 b4 48.Rc1 Rh4 49.Qc8 Qxc8 50.Rxc8+ Resigns (1-0). After Kh7 51.Rg7+ Kh6 52.Rh8mate.
Thus, this gave me 3-0 having played three very good players. This event was held over nine days with one round per day. Unfortunately I got sun stroke playing minature golf with Matt Katrein and a couple other chaps and/or KFC dinner I had eaten before the next round. My mind went completely blank during the next battle against Dr. Buehl and then drew with a postal expert and with US master Matt Katrein where a bishop of opposite color ending was drawn with me holding a pawn material edge. I managed to win one more game and a loss finishing with a respectable 5-4.
Lessons from this game:
(1) Develope your forces in a timely fashion.
(2) Don't poke around when a firestorm approaches your house.
(3) An imbalance will always create better chances for the player whose forces are poised aiming into the guts of an adversary.
(4) Given the chance, make your opponent squirm on his britches.
(5) Avoid playing minature golf on a hot sunny afternoon!
(6)Get plenty of rest and relaxation before the next round.

The Most Current Changes in GCSE English Syllabus to Keep in Mind
Wondering what the fuss around GCSE 2015 changes is all about? Sit comfortably and prepare to read an article as we're going to explain all the new features for you. Why do you need to take the trouble at all? Well, if you are a student planning to pass GCSE English, pay attention because these changes will have a great effect on both exam process and grading (in case you worry about your results).
1. New Grading System
The most notable change is transfer from A-C marks to 1-9 points with 1 being the lowest, and 9 – the highest. Moreover, the Department of Education limited the number of people who can get the best card to 20% of those who receive 7 and higher. So, if you counted on the top score, you'll have to press harder.
What does it mean for you? Nobody can predict the exact results, but the teachers are worried that the students will get worse grades because of the variation (for example, you could do fine and receive a C while, right now, your "fine" will be also graded as "worse fine" (4) or "better fine" (5).
2. Only New Texts for Reading Comprehension
The easy life has ended. Now during the examination you will get only texts that you haven't seen before because the purpose of the test is to evaluate you reading comprehension skills, not a good memory of info your teacher told you about the excerpt you previously had analysed.
3. More and Longer Exams
Enjoyed a one-time, two-hour test? Prepare to miss it as according to the new implementations there will be 2 exams, two-hour long each. But the silver lining is that you will get more time on reading and writing tasks ☺
4. No Counting of Speaking and Listening
Speaking and listening were counted before into the overall grade. But after the changes they will be assessed separately without having any impact on the final result. Generally, students do better at speaking and listening than at other tests, thus, improving the grade. But now, in GCSE near the main score, there will be just "Pass", "Merit" or "Distinction" (evaluation markers for speaking and listening) that won't be taken into account.
5. Taking Exams Only Once
There won't be any controlled assessments or courseworks during the preparation course. There will be only one evaluation session at the end that will fully rely on the exam results. Yeah, it implies that you will have to go above and beyond to do your best because you have only one chance (in an epic case scenario, in real life you can just start all over again and take another exam).
See? These are major changes that have been totally worth your 5 minutes to read this article. In case you're asking yourself why all this is happening, we have a theory that the Department of Education wants to raise the standards in order to make students more competitive on the internal as well as international job market. But we'll see what comes out of it. Good luck!

Słupsk water tower. Going, going, gone… Photo Michal Sikora
(Click on the picture to see a sequence of brilliant photographs of the demolition on the sikorowe przypadki blog.)
Another Polish railway water tower has been demolished. Poles don't rate their industrial buildings very highly. Little priority is given to preserving the built environment unless the building is a church or a palace of national importance. So water towers come a very low way down the pecking order.
There is no Railway Heritage Committee1 or Railway Heritage Trust2 in Poland and no list of the nation's 'core' railway heritage. The legal protection enjoyed by buildings such as Slupsk water tower depends on the Wojewodski Konserwator Zabytkow – the official in each province charged with 'listing' historic monuments.
The two Slupsk water towers were not listed. When an application for listing was lodged with him, the Konserwator Zabytkow had argued that the water towers were only important in a wider context – that of Slupsk loco depot. As that had already been demolished, the water towers merited no protection. The second water tower is due to be demolished next week.
BRAINWAVE! British railway enthusiasts looking to escape spiralling price inflation in the UK and looking for an inexpensive and unusual home in Poland close to a railway need look no further than Poland's rapidly diminishing stock of water towers!
(1) A statutory body operating under the authority of the Railway Heritage Act 1996 as amended by the Railways Act 2005. It has the function of 'designating' records and artefacts still within the ownership of the post-British Rail (BR) industry which are historically significant and should be permanently preserved.
(2) An independent registered company limited by guarantee. It is sponsored by Network Rail and BRB (Residuary) Ltd. The Trust's role is to support with grants the conservation and restoration of historic railway buildings and structures in the ownership of the Trust's sponsors.

The AAP's New Guidelines for Food Allergy Prevention: What Families Need to Know
By: Andrew Leitner M.D.
The AAP's New Guidelines for Food Allergy Prevention: What Families Need to Know

The AAP's New Guidelines for Food Allergy Prevention: What Families Need to Know
By: Andrew Leitner M.D.
Learn more about how the new food allergy prevention guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics can help you reduce your baby's food allergy risk.
On March 18, 2019, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) released new guidelines for preventing childhood food allergies and other allergic conditions, such as eczema. These guidelines are based on a review of all current evidence from clinical studies, including the recent landmark LEAP (Learning Early About Peanut Allergy) and EAT (Enquiring About Tolerance) studies on food allergy prevention. Most notably, the new guidelines recommend introducing your baby to allergenic foods as early as 4 to 6 months of age, to help reduce their risk of developing food allergies.
"After a thorough review of the latest research on allergy prevention, the AAP issued updated guidance that reinforces that there is no reason for parents to delay allergen introduction, explains Board-certified Allergist Katie Marks-Cogan, M.D. "In fact, parents should introduce allergens as early as 4-6 months according to the AAP and recent landmark studies. In addition, the AAP simplifies the advice for prevention by recommending early allergen introduction as the first line of defense against food allergies, even for breastfed or hydrolyzed formula-fed infants."
Here are the key points that your family should take away from the guidelines, to help give your baby the best defense against food allergies:
What Families Need To Know
- Early Allergen Introduction Starting At 4-6 Months
According to the AAP guidelines, introducing your baby to allergenic foods as early as 4-6 months of age may help prevent them from developing food allergies. The AAP guidelines mainly focus on findings from the LEAP study:
- In the LEAP study, over 600 infants at high risk for peanut allergy were randomly assigned to either consume peanut protein regularly as early as 4 months of age, or avoid peanut protein until 5 years of age.
- The study showed an 80% reduction in peanut allergy in the group of children who consumed peanut protein early and often.
Thus, there is strong evidence that introducing allergens like peanut to babies at high risk for peanut allergy, starting as early as 4-6 months, may help reduce the risk of developing food allergies by up to 80%.
Babies At High Risk For Food Allergies
The AAP defined the following groups as high risk for developing peanut allergies (in accordance with the guidelines developed by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)), specifically infants with:
- At least one close relative who has an allergic condition
- Severe eczema
- Egg allergy
Babies at high risk for peanut allergy should be introduced to peanut starting between 4 and 6 months of age. Parents of babies with severe eczema should consult their pediatrician before introducing peanuts or other allergens, to determine if allergy testing is required.
Babies at low to moderate risk for peanut allergy (no close family allergy history and mild, moderate, or no eczema) should consume peanut within their first year of life.Want to learn your baby's risk for developing food allergies? Take our quiz now.
The latest guidance from the AAP reinforces that there is no conclusive evidence to prove that breastfeeding alone can help prevent food allergies.
Also, there is no evidence that excluding foods from a pregnant or breastfeeding mother's diet can protect her baby from developing a food allergy. Therefore, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should not restrict their diet in an attempt to prevent their babies from developing food allergies.
The AAP recommends early and sustained allergen introduction, regardless of a mother's diet while pregnant and/or breastfeeding.
Babies exclusively breastfed for at least 3-4 months may be less likely to develop eczema in their first two years of life.
- Eczema is the strongest risk factor for developing a childhood food allergy. Up to 67% of infants with severe eczema, and 25% of infants with mild eczema, will develop a food allergy.
- Families should still supplement breastfeeding with early, sustained allergen introduction, since breastfeeding alone is not enough to prevent food allergies.
Hydrolyzed Infant Formula
There is not enough conclusive evidence to prove that hydrolyzed formula may help prevent food allergies or eczema. So, babies who consume hydrolyzed formula also need to consume allergenic foods early and often.
What is hydrolyzed formula? Extensively hydrolyzed formula is designed for babies with a milk allergy or intolerance. The milk protein is broken down into small enough pieces that baby's immune system will not recognize and react to it.
Key Takeaways From The Guidelines
- The AAP guidelines recommend early, "purposeful" introduction of allergens to help reduce your baby's food allergy risk.
- Introduce foods like peanut, egg, and milk when baby is 4-11 months old, regardless of baby's risk for food allergies.
- Families with babies at high risk for peanut allergies (due to family allergy history and/or severe eczema) should introduce peanuts into their baby's diet at 4-6 months.
- Breastfeeding alone is not enough to prevent food allergies, although it may help prevent eczema.
- Feeding your baby hydrolyzed formula will not reduce your baby's food allergy risk.
How To Follow the New Guidelines on Prevention
Although the AAP recommends introducing allergens as early as 4-6 months, many babies are not developmentally ready for solid foods at this age. Also, many mothers choose to breastfeed exclusively until their baby is at least 6 months of age (in accordance with AAP breastfeeding recommendations).
But you don't have to wait until your baby is ready for solids to introduce allergenic foods. Ready, Set, Food! easily mixes with breastmilk or formula, and introduces peanut, egg, and milk to your infant in pre-measured doses, based directly on the amounts used in the recent landmark studies, including the LEAP study. So, our evidence-based system makes it easy to follow the AAP's allergen introduction recommendations even if your baby is not ready for solid foods.
Ready, Set, Food! can help you follow the new guidelines on infant food allergy prevention and reduce your baby's risk of developing food allergies by up to 80%. Join us in our mission to give families everywhere a lifetime free of food allergies!

Runners looking for support and comfort will find both in the Brooks Addiction 13.

Love these shoes. It's my 4th pair.
I recently went into my local Chico FleetFeet store to buy another pair of my Brooks Addictions that I love. They did not have them in stock but set me up to get them from another store to be mailed to my home. It worked! they arrived in less than 2 weeks, in good condition and I am happily wearing them right now.
These shoes are comfortable.
I exchanged Brooks for New Balance which I love
The person who "fit" us was incredibly patient and understanding. I had taken my 91 year old mother in for new sneakers at the request of her podiatrist. I ended up getting a pair too

The FINANCIAL -- The European Investment Fund (EIF) and ProCredit Group are providing an additional EUR 450 million to innovative small and medium-sized companies (SMEs), bringing a total of EUR 820 million to companies in eleven countries.
The EIF-backed financing is now available through ProCredit banks from Germany to Georgia and targets companies using new technologies and producing new products in one of the eleven countries where the facility is available (Germany, Albania, Serbia, FYROM, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine and Georgia). To date, agreements with ProCredit have already supported more than 1,000 innovative SMEs and many more will be financed in the coming years.
These agreements were signed under the European Commission's InnovFin initiative, backed by the EU's research and innovation programme Horizon 2020. The InnovFin initiative enables participating banks to provide loans to innovative companies with the support of a guarantee provided by the EIF. The agreements signed in EU member state countries were made possible by the support of the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI). The EFSI is the central pillar of the European Commission's Investment Plan for Europe, also known as the "Juncker Plan".
EIF Chief Executive, Pier Luigi Gilibert, said: "We are delighted that InnovFin SME guarantee agreements with the ProCredit banks are yielding such positive results. ProCredit's well-established distribution network, combined with its SME lending expertise, ensures that EC-backed loans can be rapidly deployed across the eleven territories. These transactions will help companies to access this EU backed finance, in order to drive forward an innovation agenda across Europe."
European Commission Vice-President Jyrki Katainen, responsible for Jobs, Growth, Investment and Competitiveness, said: "The Commission recognises that small businesses drive jobs and growth in Europe. Facilitating access to the finance they need to innovate, expand and create jobs is one of the effective ways by which the EU supports small and medium-sized enterprises across Europe. I wish those set to benefit from this financing every success as they take their next steps."
Borislav Kostadinov, Member of the Management Board of ProCredit General Partner AG (sole liable managing entity of ProCredit Holding AG & Co. KGaA) added: "The InnovFin initiative has definitely helped to modernise the SME sector in our countries of operation. Thanks to our Hausbank relationship with a large number of innovative SMEs, ProCredit banks have been in a position to finance innovation across a wide range of industries, especially in the manufacturing sector. Hence we are pleased that EIF and the ProCredit group have agreed to expand this successful programme."

WASHINGTON – The "Overpasses for Obama's Impeachment" movement is suddenly sweeping the nation.
WND first reported on the booming movement in July, and now the group claims it has mushroomed to 40,000 members across America to become "the largest grassroots movement in the nation" in the few weeks since it was launched in June.
The group's national website has links to Facebook pages of groups in all 50 states, plus Washington, D.C.
And it is on those Facebook pages that organizers recruit and inform, while fellow members share their experiences and bond, as the group's Internet-age version of grassroots democracy takes root and flourishes in cyberspace and on the streets.

Being the most enormous ship humans ever build at that time, Titanic already caught everyone's eyeballs. But what made it infamous is well known to all of us. Since that fatal incidence, there were many stories about the Titanic and its sink. The sinking of the Titanic is one of the historical moments that can be viewed on Youtube. Here we have compiled some interesting facts about the Titanic and extravagant controversies related to this lavish first and last voyage.
Here is the list of facts about the Titanic and the speculations made!
1. One of a kind
Don't think we are comparing the physical appearance or size of the ocean liner. To this date, there are many passages ships that are even three times more enormous than Titanic. One of the most astonishing facts about the Titanic is the cause that resulted in such a fatal sink – an iceberg. No other cruise ship has ever been sunk due to an iceberg.
2. Scarce sanitary
One of the most astonishing facts about the Titanic is that the rooms weren't the same for every passenger. First Class rooms at this gigantic ship had spacious rooms, private bathrooms, separate parlor suite, eye catchy lobby and many more classy features to please their passengers. Paradoxically, condition for third-class passengers wasn't the same. There were only two bathrooms for 700 third-class passengers to share.
3. Titan or Titanic
Novelist Morgan Robertson wrote a book named The Wreck of the Titan 14 years earlier the sink. In his book, the description of events strangely matches what happened to Titanic. In both, the cases ship was practically unsinkable, struck by an iceberg, a shortage of lifeboats. In fact, that was an April night and both were in the middle of Atlantic. Thus, this coincidence or forecasting is one of the most interesting facts about the Titanic.
4. Enormous enough to engulf
The largest ocean liner of its time, Titanic was 882 feet 9 inches long and 104 feet in height. The list of astonishing facts about the Titanic is incomplete without the fact that the Atlantic took 2:48 minutes to fully submerge it. This delay in sink actually helped the rescue team to save lives.
5. An engineering fault
As claimed by the makers, the construction of the ship was planned to make it unsinkable. But there was a technical fault. At number 5 in the list of interesting facts about the Titanic is that if the compartments weren't interlinked then, water wouldn't have traveled through the ship. This could have saved the ocean liner.
6. Security measure
Even after such huge planning, security was given the least priority. How can we say that? Because on one hand, it had a total capacity of 3,547 passengers whereas on the other side ship carried only 20 lifeboats. Each of which was capable of carrying 45-65 passengers each. That will sum up the only 1/3rd of the passengers onboard. Regrettably, the degree of carelessness was high enough that during the apocalypse lifeboats weren't even full to their capacity. Now, what makes this one of the astonishing facts about the Titanic is that how even after knowing the shortfall they let half filled lifeboats leave the boat.
1. Titanic didn't ever drown
Many believe that the ship sank on 15 Apr 1912 was RMS Olympic instead of Titanic. Actually, RNS Olympic is her sister ship. A year earlier the maiden voyage Olympic meet a crash and was damaged badly. This affected the construction of the giant to an extent. Owners were in heavy debt and wanted to come up with a solution to both these problem. Therefore, speculation started that half repaired RMS Olympic was sent on the voyage as owners didn't have the option to cancel the trip anyway.
2. Fire not ice
Some also say that it was a fire which resulted in disaster rather than iceberg. According to this coal, the reserve had caught fire couple weeks earlier the voyage. Even the authorities were in light about the same. But as mentioned earlier they were not in a position to cancel the voyage they kept the trip on.
3. Insurance
Even there are people who doubt that the number of coincidences on board wasn't normal. Like
• Right before the voyage sub-captain was replaced and he forgot to hand-over the keys where binoculars were placed. Now, this is important because those binoculars have had prevented the disaster.
• There was an emergency drill scheduled in the morning of that fateful event. But Captain Edward John Smith had canceled the drill himself without any explanation. No one knows why he did so. It could have helped the crew to take charge of the situation much better and saved more lives.
4. Commendable contributions
The heroes were the Birkenhead band. Wondering why? When the commotion started Captain ordered the band to play music so people relax a bit. Although when officially it was declared that all can't be saved they decided to stay and play the music for others. This was done so that they be able to have a peaceful rest.
Moreover, the engineers on-board even having a chance to escape disapproved the offer. They decided to stay back and keep the power on till the very end.
Now, this one is a little bizarre. The head chef of the cruise survived because he drank so much of alcohol meanwhile the ship was sinking that his body resisted the temptation. That too for 2 long hours in that cold water until he was actually rescued.
More than 100 years gone but still, the story of the Titanic feels fresh. These were some of the astonishing facts about the Titanic that still make it one of its kind journey. There is something so live in between all these. Maybe because of that infamous movie on it or so many talks going around. In fact, the sinking of the Titanic is considered is so unauspicious that Kate Winslet had nearly died while filming for the movie. After 73 years finally, a joint French-American team found its remains but said it couldn't be reserved for the future. But don't you think it does have to make a significant mark in history and our minds too?

Everyone is at odds these days with pop singer Rihanna who has transformed herself from a much-loved international superstar into a bitch with an attitude problem. Rihanna angered billionaire Donald Trump by not showing up to perform at his cancer fundraiser as planned.
The Donald reportedly paid Rihanna a staggering $500,000 to sing for an hour at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute on Saturday (Feb. 19). But Rihanna's people canceled the gig at the last minute claiming she was sick with bronchitis and couldn't fly to Florida.
Miraculously, the next day Rihanna recovered enough to give a high energy performance during half time at the NBA All Star game. Later that night she hosted an intimate 23rd birthday party for herself at a posh Beverly Hills mansion for about 100 of her closest friends and family, including Jay Z, Beyonce, Drake, Christina Milian, Young Jeezy, Snoop Dogg, Lil Twist and industry execs Bu Thiam (pictured right with Jeezy at the party) and Shawn "Pecas" Costner (Universal Records).
Jennifer Hudson graciously agreed to take the gig (albeit for far less than the amount The Donald paid Rihanna).
Even though the fundraiser was a huge success, The Donald couldn't resist getting a dig in at Rihanna.
"Nothing was missed. Jennifer's a beautiful girl," said Trump. "She came on her day off even though she performs almost every night. "She is an unbelievable talent, and her voice is better."
Luckily, my photographer was able to get get some exclusive shots on the inside. No other blog gained access to the party. Above is a pic of Rihanna's ice sculpture. I would post more pics from Rihanna's private birthday party but a national magazine has acquired the exclusive rights to the photographer's pictures.

A flat Securities Market Line is not evidence against the CAPM. In a rational-expectations economy in which markets are not informationally efficient, the CAPM holds but is rejected empirically (Type I Error). There exists an information gap between the empiricist and the average investor who clears the market. The CAPM holds unconditionally for the investor, but appears flat to the empiricist who uses the correct unconditional market proxy. This distortion is empirically substantial and offers a new interpretation of why "Betting Against Beta" works: BAB really bets on true beta. The empiricist retrieves a stronger CAPM on macroeconomic announcement days.

Now that she's in her mid-80s, celebrated author Toni Morrison feels aches, pains and regret.
She tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross, "When I'm not creating or focusing on something I can imagine or invent, I think I go back over my life — I don't recommend this, by the way — and you pick up, 'Oh, what did you do that for? Why didn't you understand this?' Not just with children, as a parent, but with other people, with friends. … It's not profound regret; it's just a wiping up of tiny little messes that you didn't recognize as mess when they were going on."
Morrison, the first African-American woman to win the Nobel Prize for literature, says writing provides a "big protection" from her thoughts. Her latest novel, God Help the Child, follows an African-American woman who has no idea why she has given birth to such a dark-skinned baby. The mother, named Sweetness, is embarrassed by her daughter's darkness and wants to distance herself. The daughter, meanwhile, is scarred by not having her mother's love.
Morrison says she wanted to separate color from race in her latest creation. "Distinguishing color — light, Black, in between — as the marker for race is really an error: It's socially constructed, it's culturally enforced and it has some advantages for certain people," she says. "But this is really skin privilege — the ranking of color in terms of its closeness to White people or white-skinned people and its devaluation according to how dark one is and the impact that has on people who are dedicated to the privileges of certain levels of skin color."

Standard Duplo Composite Horseshoe with Clips Traction Profile
Thanks to its material and its profiled surface, the Duplo Composite Horseshoe is well protected against slipping. But there are situations in which an additional skid-proof equipment is necessary. That's why some Duplo models are equipped with two threads in their heel area which can be used with screw studs.
The screw threads of the regular Duplo models are fixated in the synthetic material of the horseshoe. They can be used with studs of 4 mm and 6 mm. If you want to use larger studs, we recommend horseshoes with their threads firmly attached to the metal inlay – that is particularly the Duplo Jumper which has been developed for the requirements of show jumping horses and which even has four screw threads.
Features of the standard Duplo Composite Horseshoe with Clips Traction Profile:
- No extra modification needed for basic traction.
- Quarter clips provide stability while nailing.
- Quarter clips reduce shoe torsion in sport, excess growth, and with limited hoof wall for nailing.
- Orange inlay of plastic knobs on the sole surface to reduce torsion on the hoof.
- Round and Oval shape for easier modification of the fit.
- Plastic rim reduces debris and snow accumulation under the shoe.
- Large variation of sizes to accommodate the variety of horses.
- Price to performance ratio makes the shoes cost effective.
Modifications available to the standard Duplo Composite Horseshoe with Clips Traction Profile
- Widen or narrow the metal inlay to fit the hoof.
- Grind or nipper/rasp the plastic to fit the back of the hoof.
- Remove orange plastic knobs if placement is on the hoof sole.
- Remove or thin the plastic rim to accommodate the sole height.
- Rocker toe the metal inlay for therapeutic application.
- Bevel the break over into the plastic toe region to reduce leverage.
- Plastic weld glue on tabs to any model.
- Removal of one or both clips if needed.
Additionally, reference the instructional videos for demonstrations. The contact page is available for technical support. Further more the custom build page shows examples of how the shoe is shaped or modified. Duplo Composite Horseshoes have stability and flexibility matched to the hoof. The standard clipped model with traction profile is used for prevention of pathology, therapeutic settings, and where more shoe traction is needed. The clipped shoes with traction profile can be applied with nails or glue on tabs and because of the clips less nails are needed. The hoof wall is first notched out for the clip and then hammered into the hoof to set the clip. Consequently there is no hot fitting the shoe!

Most of my CCV profiles thus far have been dual mic'd with an SM57 and Royer R121. I recently incorporated a Dynamount robotic mic stand in my studio and have been testing various positions with the 57 alone. It's pretty convenient to be able to control the positioning of the mic from the comfort of my desk. I generally work alone so it's always been a lot of up and down, back and forth, and trial and error when micing my cabinets.
I've also been experimenting with some different things to get the low end right. Here is a sample of a high gain CCV profile through a Friedman cab with a single SM57 on the Greenback speaker. Would love some thoughts as to the balance between the highs and lows.
The profile was not tweaked at all post profiling (definition came out set at 10). The guitar I used to refine and test is a Gibson Les Paul Standard with Suhr Aldrich pickups. Sounds huge through my CLR but would love some opinions with other setups. Thanks in advance.

São Miguel Island is one of the – if not the most – naturally beautiful places we've ever visited. Still relatively new to receiving tourists, the Azores remain very untouched and you'll be in awe of the shades of greens and blues all over the island.
If you're heading to this beautiful Portuguese destination, here are 10 activities you absolutely must do on São Miguel Island.
Must-Do on São Miguel Island, Azores:
Take a Photo at Boca do Inferno (and all the other miradouros)
The Boca do Inferno viewpoint is probably the most famous spot on the island, made famous by gorgeous Instagram photos that will have you packing your bags immediately.
You'll want to visit this spot on a clear day to get the crater views. If it's foggy, just be patient since the weather in the Azores can change quickly. The visibility was minimal when we visited in the morning (shown below), but we returned later in the day and captured the clear view above.
Boca do Inferno is just one of many miradouros (viewpoints) on the island. Map them out before you hit the road and stop at as many as you can. They all offer amazing views and allow you to see the island from every angle.
Hike to Farol do Arnel Lighthouse
Even the hike down to this lighthouse isn't easy, but it's definitely worth the challenge for anyone that enjoys hiking! The view once you get to the lighthouse gets mixed reviews, but our group personally enjoyed it.
Do not attempt to drive your rental car down the road to this lighthouse. I can't imagine how scary that would be!
Once you make it back to the top, be sure to snap a pic with the 35% incline sign. And then grab a beer from the food truck near the parking lot and relax for a few minutes – you earned it!
Kayak on Lagoa das Sete Cidades
This is the perfect break during a long day of road tripping on the eastern side of the island!
We rented kayaks from Futurismo in Sete Cidades (make a reservation if possible — all the SUPs were taken since we didn't pre-book).
Sete Cidades is located inside the volcanic crater and the kayak launch gives you access to two lakes: Lagoa Verde (green lake) and Lagoa Azul (blue lake). The two lakes are divided by a bridge that you can kayak under. You'll need at least an hour rental to visit both lakes, especially if you plan to stop for photos.
Wander the Tea Fields at Chá Gorreana
Whether or not you like drinking tea, the tea fields at Chá Gorreana are a sight to see. Guests are welcome to wander through the rows and there is even a trail that runs through the plantation property.
Once you're done wandering, step into the shop and try some of the tea. We brought home some of the Pekoe black (we've loved black tea ever since visiting Sri Lanka on our honeymoon!).
Soak in a Thermal Pool
São Miguel Island has a variety of hot springs; one is even connected to the ocean! Ferraria Hot Springs, Parque Terra Nostra, Poça da Dona Beija and Caldeira Velha are each very unique and you'll want to make time to experience all of them.
We wrote a review of each thermal pool in our post Hot Springs in the Azores.
Visit Furnas & Try the Famous Cozido
Every visitor to São Miguel Island must make a stop in the town of Furnas where you'll see evidence of the area's volcanic activity. You'll know you're here when you get your first whiff of sulfur smell!
Your first stop should be Lagoa das Furnas (you will pay a small entrance fee) where you'll get to see geysers in action. Wooden walking paths allow visits to explore the area and get an up-close look.
In this area, you'll also get to see workers from local restaurants cooking the famous Azorean cozido. This traditional stew consists of sausage, other meat, and vegetables. It is cooked underground in large pots for hours.
From here, you can head into town to try some of the cozido at a restaurant or just explore the Caldeiras das Furnas. This is where you'll find more hot springs and mini geysers.
Locals also cook ears of corn in some of these hot springs and sell them at stands in town. Give it a try!
Climb the Stairs at Nossa Senhora da Paz
Nossa Senhora da Paz (Our Lady of the Peace) is – without a doubt – my favorite church I've ever visited. Don't get me wrong, it's not as massive or historic as some cathedrals we've seen like Westminster Abbey in London. But the white and blue exterior and it's placement high up on the hillside overlooking the ocean, make it one of a kind in my book.
I also can't get enough of the hydrangea fields surrounding either side of the chapel. Climb the steps for a gorgeous view and make sure to spend some time inside the church, as well.
Take a Dip Under a Waterfall
There are so many gorgeous waterfalls on São Miguel Island that we wrote a whole post about it! Some require hiking to remote locations, others are visible with just a short walk from a parking lot. We recommend seeing them all, but some of our favorites are Salto do Cabrito and the falls at Parque Natural da Ribeira dos Caldeirões.
Explore the City of Ponta Delgada
Ponta Delgada will most likely be your home base while you're in the Azores. It's centrally located and home to hotels, restaurants, shops, charming parks, and more. Your road trip schedule around the island will likely be packed, but make sure you take some time to explore the capital of the Azores!
Go Whale Watching
Whale watching is one of the most popular tours in the Azores and it's no wonder considering more than 20 different types of marine mammals can be spotted here. Pico Island is known for being the best island for spotting whales, but we saw our fair share on a whale watching tour from São Miguel Island with Picos de Aventura.
You're also likely to spot dolphins and, while that isn't all that unusual for us being from Florida, these dolphins were very active. They were doing flips out of the water and were so much fun to watch!
What else?
These are just 10 of the many, many fun things to do on São Miguel Island. Of course – if you have time – you should also consider a day trip (or longer) to Terceira, or one of the other Azorean islands. They are all so unique!

NHU-PAC indexing still running behind
Wednesday, March 30: Have you been looking for new releases from the last 2 weeks in the NHU-PAC and not finding them? Try searching with the browse indexes (not an option in the ILL program). Our keyword indexes have not been updated since March 17. Yet another configuration tweak was implemented today in hopes of bringing our keyword indexes up to date. Because of the size of the database, we won't know until tomorrow whether it works.

Heads up! This blog post hasn't been updated in over 2 years. CodePen is an ever changing place, so if this post references features, you're probably better off checking the docs. Get in touch with support if you have further questions.
Over the last year, Matthieu Aussaguel has been blogging a series named "Can you Code this UI Concept?" in which he finds user interface ideas that exist as GIFs, and then an implementation of that idea in real code. The implementations are already done in these posts, but it doesn't mean you still can't think of the originals as a challenge and try to build it yourself.
Here's an example from each of the five volumes he's published so far.

Persistence of Memory by Winona Kent
Long ago, when I ran a slush pile, there were unfortunate moments when I knew after the first page the book wasn't going to be good enough to even think about saving. It's sad to make such snap judgements but, when the command of English is tenuous, the plot is only possible savior and the lack of coherence in the language usually means the plot is not going to stand up. It's therefore disconcerting to report that I almost didn't bother to read beyond the first page of this book but eventually read it to the end. In this case, it's not to much that the words are actually wrongly selected. It's just that, in context, they don't make quite the sense the author obviously intended. However, having decided the judgement of the small press should be trusted, I persisted. There are some distinct linguistic oddities in the pages that follow, but the meaning communicated becomes more clear as we progress.
Persistence of Memory by Winona Kent (Fable Press, 2013) offers us a time travel story which, in a sense, parallels Lost in Austen. By one of these magical manipulations of physics, we have an exchange of two women across time. Both are widows and, to the casual observer, physically identical. One explanation of the phenomenon might therefore be that the minds of the two women are exchanged. This would bring the book more in line with classics like Bid Time Return by Richard Matheson which deal with time travel as more a mental than a physical process. Naturally, the woman who comes forward is rather confused by the modern world but adapts remarkably quickly, while our doughty modern woman, armed with a little knowledge of what has gone before, finds it relatively easy to fit into the past (once she's found the privy, of course). Even her mobile phone fits in, readjusting its local time to 1825 — that's some smart phone, lady! And it also gets a signal from the local landmark tree which persists into the future. This gives her a mechanism for co-ordinating the effort to keep history on its designated path. Or, if you want to get technical about it, the knowledgeable woman from the future must avoid changing history and thus, courtesy of the grandfather paradox, prevent herself from returning. The only problem is to decide what history is to be preserved. As you can imagine, not that much day-to-day detailed has travelled the almost two-hundred years into the future. There's just the broadest outline and even that's a little fuzzy around the edges.
We're therefore invited to see the book as a form of mystery novel in which our sleuth from the future has to understand precisely what's required in the past and then nudge events in the right direction to get the desired results. Unfortunately, a sequence of crimes is committed including murder, arson (both punishable by the death penalty), robbery, fraud and failing to invent a workable water closet. This range forces the plot to vary quite widely from the need to establish who's who in the family tree to the alarming prospect that the future has been changed by the murder. At this point, I need to dispel any assumption you might have that the plot works in a strictly logical way. For it all to come out right, there has to be some major cheating (or if you want to be scientific about it, some major anomalies have to be introduced into the tachyon stream). Yes, there's some cod science floating around which doesn't particularly impress. The tree as a network broadcast tower is also a really bad idea. As an outsider, I can confidently say the book would have been immeasurably better if events were left as a near-death experience including a major hallucination about time travel. When the poisoned tree fell down, the key document could have turned up to resolve matters and leave everything ambiguous. Having actual time travel with real-time cellphone conversations across two-hundred years denies everything science fiction is supposed to be. It turns the book into a romance-tinged fantasy and denies it any chance of real success.
Putting everything together, Persistence of Memory is a short novel, i.e. slightly more than 76,000 words* and although it's obviously intended as an SFnal time travel piece, it's really a fantasy with a romance element and written in rather wooden prose. In my opinion, there's a good story waiting to be told but the editorial service from the small press let the author down. Anyone with any knowledge of science fiction would have understood the major problems with the plot. The prose should also have been rescued by proper editing.
* I'm indebted to the author for giving me the actual word count. I had estimated this as novella length and have amended the text.
A copy of this book was sent to me for review.

Reminder: trolley buses are back on Granville today, Tue Sept 7

Yay! I was really tired of walking around the block to get to the Howe street stops.
By Big D, September 7, 2010 @ 8:58 am
I just noticed as i took a stroll down Granville that at least 4 stops will NOT be re-en-stated. For example. there was a stop right in front of the Granville SkyTrain entrance heading north & south bound and both have been moved. One at helmken heading southbound. as well the stops along Granville are really spread out as they were before. It will be a little different running for a connector from SkyTrain etc. Hopefully it will be a smooth process
By zack, September 7, 2010 @ 12:05 pm
Yeah! I noticed, I was along Granville "forgotten that the buses came back" This huge trolley bus honked behind me I almost freaked out but safely went back to the pedestrian strip. There still needs some kind of reminder that the buses are back because people are still walking along the street and jaywalking without noticing the buses. What's more dangerous is that the trolley buses make little or no sound. Color coded markers along the street might be helpful.
By Gordon, September 7, 2010 @ 2:36 pm
Coming northbound on Graville mall this morning the system that calls out the stops doesn't call the Georgia & Dunsmuir stops.
The Dunsmuir stop is north of Dunsmuir as opposed to instead of south of Dunsmuir near the Granvuille Skytrain.
By Jacob, September 7, 2010 @ 5:11 pm
The downtown canada line station neighborhood maps still have the buses on Howe and Seymour streets.
By Marvin B, September 13, 2010 @ 10:11 pm
WOW people sure are stupid on Graville Street. It's quite a basic thing to look BOTH ways before crossing a street. People sure like walking in front of buses.
By John, September 18, 2010 @ 11:25 am
Do some 152 trips via Meridian Industrial Park?

On this day (February 24th) in 1992, the movie Wayne's World hit theaters.
The first of two film adaptations of the popular Saturday Night Live sketch, starring Mike Myers and Dana Carvey, became a '90s icon.
It also spawned several popular catchphrases like "party on," "schwing" and "we're not worthy."
The movie also made Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" a huge hit, nearly 20 years after its original release. I love this scene!

Leicester Migration Network's multimedia library; below one can find multimedia related to the network's activities.
- 2016 - Talks and discussions drawing on the work of Lucy + Jorge Orta
- Experts from the University of Leicester, local community groups, campaigners and activists discuss the causes and implications of global migration.
- 2013 - Can we live with difference? Creolization, diaspora and the making of new identities - Professor Robin Cohen (Video)
- 'Creolization' refers to how prior and incoming cultures connect and overlap. 'Diaspora' refers to the retention or revalorization of old identities in new settings. Despite their ambiguity and complexity, creolization and diaspora (rather than assimilation, integration, multi-culturalism or cosmopolitanism) seems to offer ways of understanding and perhaps confronting one of the gravest challenges of the twentieth-first century – how to live with cultural and religious difference.
- 2012 - ESRC Festival of Social Sciences: 'Our Leicester' (Audio + Video)
- Young people in Leicester explored their experiences of multiculturalism and its challenges at a University of Leicester social sciences event. 'Our Leicester': Understanding a Multicultural City featured a series of workshops and an instant survey. The participating young people put together a Youth Manifesto for a successful multicultural city that was presented to the deputy city mayor, councillor Rory Palmer.

Remember back when Surfing Magazine had the Google Earth Challenge? It was 2007 or 2008, I think, and what a fantastic idea. Surf dreamers/searchers from all around the world pored over a million different setups from space in hopes of a free trip to whatever they found. And what a find!
Within months, Namibia's now-famous Skeleton Bay was the talk of the town. It still is, in fact–a sort of "ask and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find" kind of experience for those troubled by the ever-increasing crowds. It's a reminder that, inif one is willing to look, those waves are still out there. There on the very edge of Africa, a perfect, spinning tube had been spinning unnoticed and unsurfed for who knew how long. By now, though, we've all seen it a million times, and its sheen has lost a bit of its lustre. It's still pretty damn shiny, though.
That's why, when the forecasts caught the eye of surfers all over the world, a select lucky few who were able to jump on a plane at a moment's notice did just that. With bags hurriedly packed and expectations high, Benji Brand, Koa Smith, Aritz Aranburu, and Cory Lopez boarded a flight and ended up in a few insanely long tubes.

Greetings! In the news: Groundhog, "Punxutawney Phil" did not see his shadow, so winter will soon be gone! Hard to believe after the record-breaking snowstorm that hit the northeast two weeks ago and another storm that came across the Midwest last weekend! Hope everyone is warm and looking forward to a snow–free Valentine's Day weekend and of course, a warm week in March for the NAPNAP conference in Atlanta!
As the news puts the weather into perspective, it also offers some grim reality stories about challenges faced by our children. On Tuesday, in my neighborhood, two schools received calls about bomb threats. There have now been three weeks of threats, targeting Delaware, Maryland and Virginia schools. School officials and police take the calls seriously, but all of the calls are taking their toll on our children. How do you explain evacuation practices to a five-year-old without causing significant anxiety? Each of these events compromises children's mental health, as the place our kids consider safest away from their homes is not so safe anymore.
From news to policy in the news: Nurse practitioners are not being supported in efforts to allow them the ability to treat patients with addiction. Currently, more people are addicted to heroin and prescription drugs than ever before. More infants are also being born with neonatal abstinence as a major risk factor. There is a national initiative to address this issue, but the basics are not being managed. In addition, the Affordable Care Act is in jeopardy as details of the program are being questioned in the House and Senate. The promise of continued health care for all children is not a guarantee.
On the positive side of the news, President Obama signed the Child Nicotine Poisoning Prevention Act into law on January 28, creating a safer environment for children and protecting them from another potentially toxic hazard. One positive for three negatives, what does this mean to pediatric healthcare providers? We are continually facing new and different concerns regarding children's health. Ultimately, disturbing issues threaten children's physical and mental health every day, and it is up to us to support initiatives that create the best opportunities for legislation promising health promotion, disease prevention and ongoing care for our society's smallest members.
As we look toward the spring in less than six weeks (we hope!), I encourage you to continue to be involved locally and nationally in advocacy that supports child health!
I look forward to seeing everyone at the NAPNAP National Conference next month!

Recently, while skimming through the library shelves, I came across a book that sounded interesting and unlike most fiction I have read. Per the dust jacket, it was a book that told the story of an ornithologist as he lived through World War II and the Cold War in Germany and West Germany. Now I was not sure how the study of birds would really play into the story of living through the wars, but I was intrigued. So me being me, I checked it out with about a million other books.
Now the story is told mostly as the remembrances of an old man as he is teaching someone young about a specific bird. Well rather, flashbacks of an old man as the story is told as if the moments are happening in the present. Yet these stories and memories are told because something prompted the old man to go back to that place and time. Frequently, this prompt has to do with something he is doing with regards to different birds. While I found this to be a bit discombobulating at first, as it was a bit tricky to track when/where/who at first, in the end I found this to be almost relaxing to read. There were no crazy grammatical tenses needed, simply a story was being told as if it was happening. Then, once we returned to the older version of the man, we were given some context and insight into the events. For me, this gave the book a much more realistic feel and almost that movie-style approach where the current fades out as the past acts out in front of our eyes. The flashbacks also didn't feel forced or like the author was trying to put too much context into scenes as they were happening. I was left wondering what the real story behind events was, only to have it filled in for me after hearing the story from start to finish.
While the construction of the plot was novel (is that a pun? I think so…and if so I meant it emphatically), what really got me was the tone and pace. I struggled for a long time on how to describe both the tone and pace, and I finally settled on this: the book reads like the feeling of watching a lazy river flow. By this I mean, you are pulled along gently, never forced into the story. The way the words move across your mind is almost calming, even when the words form rather terrifying images. The pace rarely speeds up, and if so it only does so gently. There is no tossing about, no whitewater to navigate, no racing hearts to calm. In short, the book is a lazy river and you, the reader, are a raft gently floating downstream.
I realized about half way through the book that it was actually a translation from German. I have to say, it is an excellent translation. I have read some rather awful translations in my life, and it didn't occur to me once (until the narrator broke down the informal/formal "you" in German) that it even could be a translation.
Simply put, this book is an excellent and worthy read. No matter the original language.
Love and literature,
