As Ecuador prepares to hold its general elections in less than a month, observers have expressed concerns over the use of an election technology which did not go through the regular procurement process.
This developed after the National Electoral Council (CNE) declared a failed bidding for the procurement of "service of data transmission between the CNE and the 1,818 Publication and Transmission Centers (Rtpa), used for the transmission of data from scanned precinct counts."
Instead, the poll body has accepted a donation from the government of South Korea consisting of 2,000 digitalization and transmission machines.
Observers are worried, though, that the Korean machines will not be up to specifications.
While the CNE has expressed satisfaction over the system's performance in a mock election, political parties have decried the lack of transparency in the testing. They are hoping that the next test on February 5 will shed light on their questions.
Former Dominican Republic president Leonel Fernández, who belongs to the observation team, said that he is concerned over several aspects of the polls including voter rolls, the IT system, and the scanners that will be used for the transmission of results.
In 2014, Ecuadorians had to endure a month-long delay before official results could be announced due to the failed performance of the Spanish company Scytl. Now, voters are hoping against hope that the untried donated technology will somehow suit the country's complex election needs.

EDITORIAL: Thankful for youthful Swiss Choral energy
OUR OPINION: For a tradition now in its 85th year, the fact that two 26-year-olds and a 31-year-old are at the helm is encouraging. And those teenagers!
There is much to be thankful for this week as people across the country observe one of the loveliest holidays we have — Thanksgiving. Health and happiness, friends and family and home and community are often the go-to answers when the question, "What are you thankful for?" is asked.
But this week there's something else to be thankful for that needs to be acknowledged: The Swiss Choral Society and the youthful energy behind it.
Other than traditional holiday celebrations, there is no other annual community event that has sustained itself as long as Swiss Choral. Remarkably, this is the 85th Thanksgiving-week concert in the long history of the chorale and a testament to the value this community places on music.
What is most remarkable, though, is the fact that it's not old-timers running the show, but rather three young adults who have found Swiss Choral important enough to give their time and energy to it. The executive committee is made up of Brett Eisenbeis and Patrick Hofer, both 26; and Daniel Graber, 31, who are bringing new and exciting ideas to the table as a way to sustain and energize the event. Let's face it: not only is this community getting older and losing men and women who have been active in music over the years and decades, but people seem to be busier than ever before.
Participation in the annual Swiss Choral event is just one more thing to commit to.
To the executive committee's credit, it has recognized this and has worked hard to respond to it in positive ways. New ideas included a hymn-sing last year and, this year, Freeman's two high school music departments were invited to join the chorus in "Messiah," to which both said yes.
Talk about youthful energy!
The 40 young men and women from Freeman Academy and Freeman High School double the size of the choir, which in and of itself is a welcome addition. But the invitation to have them join also exposes some of these teenagers to a choral tradition they have likely never seen — or even taken note of. The chance to sing with experienced vocalists from the community, as well as an orchestra made up of mostly string players from the South Dakota Symphony, is something that very few high school students will ever get the chance to do.
And when they take their spot in the choir loft at the Salem Mennonite Church this Friday night, Nov. 24, their families will most likely be there in support — parents who wouldn't ordinarily attend the performance.
Yes, indeed, these are all things to be thankful for.
The Freeman community is unique in the attention it gives to the fine arts; that starts with grade school children who take part in the Freeman Area Children's Choir, two schools that place a high value on music and theater, churches that nurture traditional choral music and a Schmeckfest musical that is among the finest community theater available.
The Swiss Choral Society is certainly a part of the equation.
That three dedicated young men are taking a lead on sustaining the tradition — and that 40 teenagers will join in singing one of the greatest sacred works of all time — is reason for both celebration and thanksgiving.
We are richer for it.
The Courier editorial reflects the opinion of Jeremy Waltner and Tim L. Waltner.

Over the past two months, I've participated in several opportunities to learn more about the history of my new home – Old Town Alexandria, Virginia! I've learned so much that I'm finding it a challenge to organize my thoughts and write it all down.
First, I can't recommend Footsteps to the Past enough as a way to gather a general overview of the long history of the town – from colonial times and George Washington, through its four year occupation by Union troops during the Civil War, then its period of neglect through the 1970s, ending with revitalization efforts that keep pushing out from the city center to create a destination town for tourists, new residents, and history buffs alike! My introduction to Footsteps to the Past was through Groupon, as they had a special for the nightly ghost tour. Since I joined the tour later in the season, our group was very small, so I got a lot of opportunities to pepper the guide with questions, making the tour a great history lesson, with fun ghost stories as well. The 1 hour ghost tour leaves the Alexandria Visitor's Center at Ramsey's House every night from April through November. The tour I joined covered stories of: the most famous couple in Alexandria — but no one knows their name; the curse of the Carlysles; the role of historic homes during the Civil war – specifically the hotel built across the front lawn of Carlysle house that was used as a hospital; the Carlysle house used as a Union Army leadership meetingplace; and, the confederate espionage disguised as courtship. What would a ghost tour be if it didn't end in a cemetery, at the Old Presbyterian Meeting House?
|Alexandria was once a part of D.C. – old water drain
Following that tour, I also scheduled the 90 minute history tour with Footsteps that fit with my parents' schedule while they were in town. I won't go into the details of all that I learned about, such as George Washington and his favorite spots, notable residents like the Lee Family (as in Robert E. Lee), the story of the first Union officer killed by a confederate sympathizer during the war as he tried to steal a confederate flag, that could be seen from the White House, on the first day of wartime occupation, etc. Just too much to talk about, and I don't want to discourage people from taking these great (and cheap) walking tours because they are a can't miss attraction, in my opinion.
Rounding out my unofficial Alexandria History Month, I purchased a discount admission from LivingSocial to attend the Alexandria Holiday Candlelight Tour. Held every year on a December weekend, the tour allows you to explore the interiors of four of the town's main attractions: Gadsby's Tavern (and attached hotel), Carlsyle House, Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary, and Lee-Fendall House. All of the historic buildings were decorated in period appropriate holiday themes. This year, as part of the sesquicentennial celebration of the Civil War, the period celebrated is the 1860s.
The tour was fantastic. Getting suckered into participating in a group period dance while at Gadsby's Tavern wasn't my favorite activity, but one of my favorite stories to tell. I actually spoke with a couple dressed in Civil War formal attire and discovered that they participate in dance lessons at Gadsby's every week, mostly to prepare people who may be attending one of the major balls held at the building, including George Washington's Birth Night ball, other 18th century and Civil War balls, and a Jane Austen ball – now that's more my style!
Here is my list of must not miss historic sites in Old Town Alexandria:
|Gadsby's Tavern (scafolding from recent earthquake)
Gadsby's Tavern – The tavern was built c.1782 and the hotel was built c. 1795. Like Starbucks today, back in colonial days, there seemed to be a tavern on every corner. This one was conveniently located across the street from the Alexandria jail, at the time. Gadsby's was a favorite of George Washington when he was in town on business from his estate just 8 miles south at Mount Vernon. He also enjoyed Wise's Tavern a block down the street on the corner of Cameron and Fairfax. One of the reasons for Gadsby's popularity was their vast ice cellar and, consequently, the offering of a colonial delicacy: ice cream. Before you get excited, one of the most asked for flavors of ice cream was…..oyster!! Ew!
|Carlyle House with Holiday Interior
Carlysle House – Completed in 1753 by a wealthy Scottish merchant, John Carlysle, for his bride, Sarah Fairfax. Sarah was the cousin of Lord Fairfax, one of the largest landowners in the region and, subsequently, very wealthy and influential. There are some interesting stories about the construction of the home, including a roofline that is not even, mismatched brick sizes on the house exterior, a cat entombed in the foundation, and how Carlyle got around the rule that all homes had to butt up the front of the house to the street – not set back like Carlysle house. After the Carlysle family line died, the house eventually was owned by a gentleman who also owned the two buildings on the sides of the house. He proceeded to build an extension between the two buildings on the front lawn of Carlyle House, essentially removing the home from sight. During the Civil War, the house became a headquarters for the Union Army, and the hotel surrounding the property became one of Alexandria's largest hospitals for wounded soldiers coming from surrounding areas, including both battles at Manassas/Bull Run.
Apothecary – Founded in 1792, this is Alexandria's longest continuously run business (1796-1933). Martha Washington used to write to the owner to send her medicines down to their estate. Robert E. Lee was also a customer. Now, it houses the store display and a museum upstairs. I didn't get to see the museum, as it was not a part of the Candlelight tour, so now I have an excuse to go back!
Christ Church – This adorable church, built from 1767-1773, has name plates on the pews were the Washingtons and the Lees sat during their worship.
|Lee-Fendall Dining Room
Lee-Fendall House – Built in 1785 by the cousin of "Light Horse Harry" Lee, father of Robert E. Lee and Revolutionary War hero, this house sat across the street from Robert E.'s boyhood home. The home is now a museum open to the public.
George Washington's Town Home – This is a replica built on the spot where the original stood, using materials from the dilapidated structure, like the foundation stones. This was George Washington's place to stay when he had business in the city and could not go back to Mount Vernon. The modern word "townhouse" most likely has its origins here, as Washington referred to it in letters as his "town house."
Captain's Row – Between Union and Fairfax on Prince St, this original cobblestone street, now brutal on your car's axles, indicates you are among a great collection of well-preserved historic homes.
Lyceum – Home to Alexandria's official history museum. I have not gone yet, but it's on the near-term to do list!
So go to Alexandria! Make a day of it, maybe on a Saturday to visit one of the world's oldest continually operating farmer's markets on Market Square, then visit some or all listed above. Maybe take an early afternoon history tour from Footsteps, then finish off the day window shopping or browsing the merchandise at the cute businesses that line King Street and cross streets.

Rescued from Ruin
Exterior Before
The tiny farm manager's cottage, one of only four original structures from Henry Ford's 1930s plantation, sat in a low, wet area and was used for storage before the Morgans saved it.
Cottage Exterior After
Charmed by the home's history, cozy size, and unusual combination of board-and-batten siding plus tiled roof, the Morgans renovated the house after relocating it to higher ground (atop brick piers) with expansive marsh views.
Living Room Before
Rotten window frames and peeling paint made the house look sad and gloomy.
Living Room After
The stripped original poplar tongue-and-groove boards, heart pine flooring sealed with a clear polyurethane, and beeswax-polished pine mantel lend a warm, welcoming glow. The off-white trim is a crisp touch.
Kitchen Before
The kitchen was dated and dingy, with Formica countertops, low ceilings, and mouse-infested cabinetry.
Kitchen After
Reclaimed heart pine counters, open shelves, and a vaulted ceiling exude vintage charm. Vanita found the 1952 double drainboard sink at a Georgia roadside antiques stand.
Dining Room
In the dining room, French doors open to a new screened porch with water views, replacing three small windows and a wood stove that heated the cottage before central heat was installed.
Bathroom Before
The cramped master bath was full of rotten and dilapidated fixtures.
Bathroom After
Vaulting the ceilings and lengthening the room by three feet gives a light, airy feel; the claw-foot tub lends old-school appeal.
Guest Room
The Morgans swapped out a window to create a doorway leading to the new 6- by 8-foot guest bath.
Screened Porch
The new 264-square-foot screened porch added extra dining space (read: the kids' table!) and a sitting area that helps the cottage live larger when extended family visits.

While the timeline for the redevelopment of Landmark Mall is still unclear, the nearly vacant shopping center could find a new use in a matter of months.
Alexandria's Carpenter's Shelter is negotiating with the Howard Hughes Corporation, which owns the majority of Landmark Mall, to occupy a portion of the area Macy's vacated in January.
The shelter would occupy the space for two years while its current facility at 930 N.
Henry St. goes through a major renovation.
Former Alexandria Mayor Kerry Donley, who is vice chairman of the Carpenter's Shelter board, has been leading the lease talks.
Donley said he originally approached the Texas-based company about the possibility when it first took control of the site earlier this year.
"We've been talking to them for a number of months and it seems like our two year window for using it as a temporary shelter aligns well with their planning to redevelop the site," Donley said. "It seems like it will be a win-win for both organizations."
Shannon Steene, executive director for Carpenter's Shelter, said the possibility of finding a temporary home is a testament to how supportive the community has been toward the nonprofit.
"We're grateful that the Howard Hughes Corporation is entertaining the possibility," he said. "It's one more example of the community's support for the mission of The Carpenter's Shelter."
Before beginning talks with Howard Hughes Corporation, Carpenter's Shelter had spent two years searching for a temporary space without much luck. The shelter ran into a number of constraints in its search.
"We have evaluated a number of sites and had some discussions with folks, but it was pretty apparent that number one, any place we looked at would carry a big price tag in terms of improvements we would need to make and, quite frankly, a number of places weren't interested in leasing to us," Donley said.
Donley said Landmark Mall "fit the bill" across the board, partly due to its proximity to public transportation.
Once the lease is signed, Carpenter's Shelter could use 15,000 square feet of the former Macy's – about a quarter of the store's overall footprint.
The shelter could adapt the space to its uses relatively quickly, Donley said. Temporary walls, showers and laundry facilities, among other things, would need to be installed. The intent is for the shelter to make its move to the provisional facility by the first quarter of 2018, Donley said.
Donley, who has served on the board of the shelter for eight years, said the possibility of occupying part of Landmark is an ideal solution to get Carpenter's Shelter and its residents through the transition period.
"What I think is exciting about it is we are going to be redeveloping our site, which will have 97 affordable units … [in] the new shelter. It's an innovative approach for two community nonprofits, Carpenter's Shelter and [Alexandria Housing Development
Corporation], to come together to utilize their resources to build 97 affordable units that will benefit the affordable housing shortage in the city," Donley said.
Steene said AHDC, Carpenter's Shelter's partner in the renovation, estimates the project will require 18 months of construction.
The new Carpenter's Shelter will be seven stories, with the shelter on the first floor and 97 units of affordable housing throughout, which will be made available to households with incomes between 40 and 60 percent of the area's median income.
In addition, 10 of the units will be reserved for formerly homeless individuals who continue to receive services from the shelter. A parking garage will be located underneath the building.
The hope is that Carpenter's Shelter will be able to move into the renovated building by early 2020. Howard Hughes Corporation, meanwhile, plans to begin demolition on Landmark the same year.
Councilor John Chapman, who has strongly advocated for affordable housing during his time on council, said the temporary move would be a good use of Landmark at a time when the redevelopment schedule is still in flux.
"With the developers not moving as fast as many folks in the community would like, it opens up the opportunity for Carpenter's Shelter to make use of the space," Chapman said. "It's a great use for them and the timing worked out perfectly."
Much of the uncertainty surrounding Howard Hughes Corporation's redevelopment plan comes down to whether the Sears store at Landmark remains open. Without acquiring the Landmark Sears, the company would be relegated to redeveloping two-thirds of the mall instead of making the entire property mixed-use, with open-air retail and entertainment, as well as residential components.
Redeveloping the whole property would be preferential, Chapman said, especially for a community that's been "waiting for decades" for some movement on Landmark's revitalization.
Although Howard Hughes Corporation didn't respond to requests for comment, Steene and Donley expect Carpenter's Shelter to sign the lease with the company in a matter of weeks.
Steene is excited to make the deal official, because the sooner Carpenter's Shelter makes its temporary move, the sooner work can begin on its permanent home.
"It definitely has upsides for both entities. Howard Hughes is able to provide some functional use for the space while they're doing their planning and Carpenter's certainly needs a place to be while we're redeveloping," Steene said. "The fact that those two timelines are coming together and are simpatico is a good thing."

Colt Shuts Plant, Workers Talk To Conn. Lawmakers
TWG: I can't believe obama's State-run media minions over at yahoo posted this article.
Colt will, HOPEFULLY, join the "Firearms Equality Movement"
They, and their fellow Firearms and Firearms Accessory Manufacturers, are eagerly invited to join us here in Montana where the business climate is far more welcoming to them than any other State in the Union.
Colt shuts down Conn. gun plant so workers can go to Conn. Capitol to oppose gun bills
By Susan Haigh, Associated Press | Associated Press
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The president of one of the nation's oldest gun manufacturers closed down his Connecticut factory Thursday morning and bused 400 of his workers to the state Capitol so they could personally urge lawmakers not to pass gun control legislation that they say could risk their livelihoods.
Dennis Veilleux, president of the Hartford-based Colt's Manufacturing Co., said even though he has spoken with legislators and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's staff about his trepidations several times, he believes they don't truly understand the financial ramifications of the legislation being proposed in the wake of the deadly Dec. 14 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
State officials have listened to the concerns he and other Connecticut gun company officials have voiced, "but I would say it's more pacifying us," Veilleux said. That's why he decided to rent 10 buses and bring over his first shift workers, plus some second- and third-shift ones, and some suppliers.
"These are the faces of the jobs at Colt," Veilleux said in an interview with The Associated Press while riding on a bus back to the factory. "Each of these people represents other people in the state. They represent the community and, in a lot of cases, they're the breadwinners of their families. And more and more, manufacturing jobs are hard to come by."
Colt has been operating in Connecticut for the past 175 years.
The Colt workers packed the Legislative Office Building, many holding signs that read "Save Our Jobs," as legislative leaders continued to meet behind closed doors, trying to craft a bipartisan response to the school massacre. They're scheduled to meet again on Friday.
Meanwhile, members of the General Assembly's Public Safety and Security Committee heard testimony on numerous gun control bills, including a new gun offender registry, an expanded assault weapons ban, ammunition restrictions and a ban on bulk purchases of handguns.
Ron Pinciaro, executive director of Connecticut Against Gun Violence, defended the breadth of legislation.
"We feel that because of the enormity of the situation that happened on Dec. 14, that if we just put some Band-Aids on things, it's really not going to be enough," Pinciaro said. Twenty first-graders and six educators were killed at Sandy Hook. The shooter had also killed his mother before eventually committing suicide.
Eric Koenigs, a manufacturing engineer at Colt for the past nine years, has worked in the industry for 18 years. Even though Veilleux has not threatened to move Colt out of Connecticut, Koenigs said he is extremely concerned about the fate of his job if, for example, the state's current assault weapons ban is expanded.
"I never thought it would happen here," said Koenigs.
Connecticut is known as the "Arsenal of the Nation," a reputation first gained in the American Revolution. In the early 19th century, inventors Eli Whitney and Simeon North began making firearms in Connecticut with interchangeable parts, which is often recognized as the beginning of modern mass production.
Democratic members of a legislative subcommittee charged with reviewing gun laws recently recommended exempting Connecticut gun manufacturers from a proposed law expanding the definition of an assault weapon. Even though the weapons could not be purchased in the state, they could still be manufactured here.
Veilleux contends his company would still suffer, even though it currently doesn't sell many rifles in Connecticut.
"If we ban this product in the state where we make it, our customers will take their business to another brand," he said. "When we start to get erosion of our customers, we lose our market share."
There are numerous postings on Colt's Facebook page from gun advocates urging the company to move out of Connecticut, which they claim does not respect the constitutional right to bear arms. There also are postings from people urging Colt not to supply law enforcement with guns in New York, a state that recently enacted strong gun control initiatives.
Veilleux said gun customers are well-connected and know what is happening in different states in terms of gun control efforts.
"Our customers don't want to support the state of New York. So our customers aren't going to want to support the state of Connecticut," he said. "And our association is so strong with the state of Connecticut, that it's inevitable that it's going to begin to erode."

PROFESSOR: Angelique Blackburn, Ph.D.
ABSTRACT: According to Datingsitesreviews.com, Match.com has created approximately half a million relationships, close to 100,000 marriages, and a million babies. The success of this site is due in part to the research underscoring its platform. Researchers have tested personality types, attachment styles, and other factors that determine compatibility. But why are we so eager for love? Why is the feeling intoxicating and unavoidable? Why do we seek this psychological state, even when it can end in devastation? And why is losing a romantic partner as painful as physical injury or drug withdrawal? In this course, we will discuss the neuroscience underlying the stages of romantic love and rejection, as well as psychological factors that underscore compatibility. We will also discuss the psychological and neurological basis of social bonding, including the close bond that mothers experience for their children. By the end of the course, you will understand what attracts us to our partners, encourages us to form lasting companionships, and enables us to create loving families.
PROFESSOR: Paty Cantu, M.A.
"Fire and fury!" Words or weapons? Heart or fist? How we choose to handle difficult situations is influenced by the world around us and the world within us. However, is it possible to "train the mind" and change the brain to become more resilient, persistent, and compassionate? In other words, is it possible to grow grit and grace? And, if so, how? Join us for the Signature Course Growth, Grit, and Grace: What Brain Plasticity Can Do for You! We will explore connections between brain plasticity and psychology in order to tackle questions about social issues, such as can our brains be manipulated to dehumanize others, and is it possible to program our brains to develop more kindness and compassion? We will also create a service-learning project that encourages others in our community to learn about and celebrate the brains' amazing ability to change in ways that lead to positive and productive outcomes.
PROFESSOR: Paul Niemeyer, Ph.D.
ABSTRACT: James Bond has been a major global figure for over fifty years, and this course examines why. We will look at how Bond embodies both our greatest ambitions and our deepest fears, from the Cold War to the age of terrorism and cybercrime. We will also consider the role of women, from the sexualized "Bond Girls" of the 1960s to Bond getting a female boss in 1990s. Last, we will look at the "Science of Bond"—the nuclearized threats of the villains and the wild gadgets of yesterday that are now part of today's world.
PROFESSOR: Puneet Gill, Ph.D.
ABSTRACT: Climate change is an often-discussed issue in the news, politics and in local communities. Recent events have indicated meaningful discussions about climate change can be strengthened with sustainability discussions. In Half Earth: Our Planets Fight For Life, Dr. E. O. Wilson puts forth the proposal that if we commit half of the planets surface to biodiversity we will be able to stabilize the environment necessary for our survival. Paired with the documentary series Years of Living Dangerously, you will evaluate evidence claims through a lesson plan methodology, evaluate the long term impacts of climate change and the fragile relationship between biodiversity and the impacts of climatic events. Towards the the end of the course, you will argue in defense or support of the Half- Earth proposal set forth by Dr. E.O. Wilson and analyze the feasibility of sustainable solutions to issues that relate to your major or future career aspirations.
PROFESSOR: Hayley Kazen, Ph.D.
ABSTRACT: Why do we fear the "other"? How does fear impact policy? How are groups negatively impacted? In this course, students will learn the negative consequences and ethical issues that fear of the "other" has on marginalized groups. We will examine how forced relocation, assimilation attempts, discrimination and religion has had a lasting negative impact on marginalized groups' physical and mental health, culture, and educational attainment. With both nationalism and immigration on the rise, nationally and globally, it is important to understand how nationalistic attitudes and policies have affected people historically.
PROFESSORS: Daniel De La Miyar, Ph.D. and Jonathan Martinez, M.A.
ABSTRACT: Signs and symbols tell a story the viewer may be able to understand its meaning and purpose. This course will teach the diverse uses of semiotics, its applications, forms of use in non-textual style (messages), non-sounding (memes) signs and symbols and how individuals encounter semiotics on a daily basis. Western hegemony, however, has established dominance through the acquisition and control of goods that have certain value. Throughout history, cultures have developed unwritten rules to establish classism, which, arguably, has evolved into racism. Hispanic—with particular emphasis on Mexican-American—culture, demonstrates how they place and label individuals within their respective societies.
PROFESSORS: Lucy Maldonado, M.B.A and Maria Guerra de Charur, M.A.
ABSTRACT: What do you think of the border? Is the border more than what we see on the media? Life on the border goes beyond what we see in the media. Cultural identity, racism, gender issues, language barriers, immigration, and education are some of the issues impacting those living on the US-Mexico border communities. In this course, you will analyze several Chicano texts that will uncover and identify problems presented in border life. At the end of this course, you will produce a newspaper article that will be published in one of Laredo's local newspapers.
PROFESSORS: Brett Nickerson, Ph.D. and Ediza Garcia, Ph.D.
ABSTRACT: This course provides students with an overview of the factors that constitute resilience and examines the interchange between physical fitness and psychological health. The course reviews how one's physiological responses to specific physical activity programs lead to improvements in physical fitness. Students also learn about common mental health disorders within a prevention framework. Through a careful examination of the relationship between physical fitness and psychological health, students obtain knowledge and skills for promoting positive change within themselves, thereby, increasing their levels of resilience. This course utilizes an applied approach in teaching the concepts and include practical steps for improving well-being.
PROFESSOR: Deborah Scaggs, Ph.D.
ABSTRACT: What we choose to eat is shaped by several factors: cultural traditions, social surrounding, economic status, geography, advertising, and federal laws. Known as "food politics," the intersection of these factors shapes with what we actually eat, and what we "choose" to eat is not as democratic as we think. Not only is human health at stake, but also the impact on our environment. Examining food politics as the reflection of one's individual, national, and global identities will allow students to consider the interconnectedness of several components of food beyond what is on their plate.
PROFESSOR: John Kilburn, Ph.D.
ABSTRACT: Each of us has our own definition of what is socially just in society. Various types of people appear to be competing for finite resources. In most cases, this competition manifests itself through a form of individuals looking out for their own self-interest and offering less regard to the interests of others. This course examines how basic needs are regulated in terms of opportunities for employment, educational attainment, access to health care, and governmental benefits. Public perception of unfairness leads to significant discord that ranges from petty interpersonal incivilities to violence and war.

Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani turned muses for Manish Malhotra, who unveiled his festive line with a fashion show. With this spectacular show, Manish gravitated towards a party-ready festive look. He shifted his focus from the quintessential traditional wears and gave his new ethnic ensembles, a western touch. So, Manish Malhotra's festive line consisted of flowing shararas, breezy kaftans, lehengas, cigarette pants, and kalidars among other millennial-inspired collection.
Coming to showstoppers, Kiara's attire was a cross between modern sensibilities and rooted traditions. It seemed like a fuss-free outfit that we are sure many young women would want to buy right away. Her kalidar ensemble was dipped in the pristine ivory shade and was also meticulously embellished. It was a stunning festive outfit with exaggerated balloon sleeves. Infused with cutting-edge technology, her attire featured a deep side slit.
She paired her outfit with metallic cigarette pants of the same hue and colour-blocked the silvery attire with a pair of shiny golden sandals. Her makeup was dominantly highlighted by a bold maroon lip shade and subtle eyeliner. Her well-defined middle-parted tresses were neatly tucked behind her ear and well those tresses gave her look a romantic touch.
Kartik, on the other hand, looked super dapper in a casual-meets-formal look. He also wore a very comfortable outfit and his attire backed minimalism in fashion. The actor wore a bandhgala white kurta with an overlapping feature and paired it with straight-fit matching pyjamas and a full-sleeved lightweight black jacket. He paired his ensemble with black formal shoes.
So, how did you find Kartik Aaryan's and Kiara Advani's showstopper looks? Feel free to share opinions in the comment section.

The Flying Hospital That Rushes Wounded Soldiers to Safety
The key to getting a wounded soldier from a battlefield to a hospital is stabilization—holding off the damage done by bullet or bomb for long enough to get to surgery. So faster evacuation is always better. Now the hospital can actually meet the injured partway—in the form of a Boeing C-17 Globemaster III, transformed into a flying triage unit. On board, doctors stabilize, monitor, and treat soldiers with high-level care so they make it safely home.

There Are So Many Tiny Animals in the Sea That They May Affect Currents
The wind and tides are major drivers of the ocean's global circulation, moving its waters all over the planet and mixing up its temperature, salinity, and nutrients. But according to new research, there might be another crucial force in ocean circulation that scientists haven't accounted for: the billions upon billions of small marine animals that live in its depths.

Nevada is sure to see more homebuyers opting to move to our "tax-friendly" state as their current states see tax hikes. The residents in states such as California, Connecticut and New York are looking to get or be forced to pay more. The result is an added strain on our already low inventory market, causing housing prices to continue to rise.
Las Vegas' 0% Tax
It's hard for states like California to compete with the sunny, luxuriousness that Las Vegas has to offer. Especially when they have a burdensome tax rate of 13.9 percent compared to our 0 percent. To some of the wealthier people in California, and these other states, the appeal is too much. The amount of savings available to establish residency in Nevada is far too much. They're ready to make a switch.
Relocating to Las Vegas
When you are ready to make the change, and save money in the relocation to Las Vegas, Windermere Anthem Hills & Windermere Proudfit are the only real estate teams you need to call. Our teams of experienced real estate agents can help you with all of your real estate transactions.

Another company is trying its hand at the emerging transcatheter mitral valve replacement space – which could someday outpace TAVR. OR Yehuda, Israel-based Cardiovalve said it has commenced the AHEAD US Multicenter Study, which will test the safety and feasibility of the firm's device in reducing mitral regurgitation. Trial recruitment will start in early 4Q18.
The news came at the start of the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics conference, being held in San Diego now and set to conclude Tuesday. Details of the first-in-human Cardiovalve procedure with the transfemoral mitral valve system will be presented by Prof. Francesco Maisano of the University Hospital Zurich, during TCT.
"The transfemoral approach to implantation was very straightforward, controlled and reassuring," Maisano said in a release. "I believe that ultimately, Cardiovalve will change how mitral valve replacement is practiced in the clinical setting."
Cardiovalve was originally a part of Valtech Cardio, a company acquired by Edwards Lifesciences for $340 million and up to $350 million in milestone payments. Irvine, CA-based Edwards picked up the company to bolster its mitral and tricuspid valve offerings. The deal came about two years after a wave of acquisitions in the TMVR space by many of the larger medtech companies.
Recently, Abbott Laboratories, a key participant in the TMVR M&A spree of 2015, announced it had initiated SUMMIT, a pivotal trial of its mitral valve system.

Whether someone is looking to purchase a home that needs renovations or is looking to renovate a home they currently own, there are two financing options available. Deciding which type of financing is best for a certain situation will depend on several factors. Understanding the different options will help home owners and buyers make the best decision for financing their fixer-uppers.
New Purchase
When a home buyer wants to make modifications to a home they are purchasing, they need to first decide how extensive these changes will be. The type of financing available will depend upon factors such as how much the renovation will cost and if it's a complete renovation or just minor improvements. These factors become important in the following ways:
- Conventional loan- Conventional loans provide many options for home modification. With a conventional loan, fifty percent of the "as-is" value of the home can be borrowed for renovations. This amount is in addition to the purchase price of the home. Conventional loans are also available for secondary residences and investment properties. This characteristic provides a great option for those who are looking to purchase a vacation home or rental property in need of repair.
- FHA loan- FHA loans are more limiting than conventional loans when it comes to home renovation. In order to qualify for this type of loan, the home must be the borrower's primary residence and must be in financeable condition. This means that unlike conventional loans, FHA loans are geared more for minor home improvements rather than full remodels. FHA loans are also limiting in the amount of money that can be borrowed. These loans have a $35,000 cap for improvements regardless of the value of the property. These loans are also subject to a 90-day renovation program, meaning improvements must be started within 30 days of purchase and completed within 90 days.
Owned home
If a home owner is looking to refinance their home and include funding for renovations, they will need to determine the extent of the desired changes. Knowing the regulations for conventional and FHA loans will help the home owner make a more educated decision on their refinancing options.
- Conventional loan- If a home owner wants to make a major renovation, or completely remodel a home, the conventional loan option will be the best choice. When refinancing with a conventional loan, the amount available for renovation costs is ninety-five percent of the "to-be-completed" renovation value minus the current principle balance. For example, if a borrower owes $100,000 on a property that, once the planned renovations are made, will have an appraised value of $200,000, the amount of money available to cover renovation costs will be $90,000.
- FHA loan- If a home owner will be making improvements to an existing residence such as energy efficient windows or a new heating unit, a FHA loan may be the best option. As stated above, FHA loans are only available for primary residences in financeable condition. With the $35,000 cap on renovations, this loan is best suited for minor improvements rather than major renovations.
Prior to making any home improvement plans or decisions, it is always a good idea to explore the available financing options. Once a loan option is determined, creating a feasible renovation plan will be easier. It is also important to note that with either a conventional or FHA loan, all improvements and renovations must be done under the work of a licensed contractor. Having the help of a knowledgeable loan officer is crucial for determining which financing option is the best fit for the renovation. For more information about these loan options, contact Kelly Tribell at Simply Home Lending, Inc.

(Yicai Global) Dec. 28 -- Shouhang IHW Resources Saving Technology, a leader in China's solar tower-type power generation technology, started operations at a new solar farm in western Gansu province today, predicting it will bring in annual revenue of more than CNY400 million (USD58.4 million).
The Dunhuang project consists of more than 12,000 mirrors surrounding a 260-meter-high heat-absorbing tower and will generate 390-million-kilowatt hours of power a year, the Beijing-based firm said in a statement.
This new type of solar power plant is equipped with many large on-site mirrors that concentrate sunlight on a receiver at the top of a high tower, where solar energy is converted into heat that drives a generator to produce electricity.
Shouhang IHW has a small solar power station in Dunhuang and invested in another unit, also in Gansu, in September. That is expected to complete in October 2020.

Even though Tejaswini is quite a famous name in Telugu, she has no offers in hand. She had some good films but she could not make use of them correctly.
So left with no choice she has done a spicy photo shoot and releasing one snap after the other. These snaps have gone viral and are making heads turn in the industry.
Though these snaps showcase her in a hot avatar, we need to see whether she will get her much needed break. As of now, Tejaswi will be seen in the adult comedy Baabu Baaga Busy.


text: Hey! So I have this old laptop with Intel graphics, driver from Windows Update breaks the system completely (black screen). Is there a way to completely disable Windows Update? Or even prevent installation of those trashy apps. I tried O&O ShutUp10 but it doesn't seem to work. I mean it works on my other PC which already has been updated and worked for some time, but it does not work on fresh installation of W10, that not even once scanned for updates etc. offline. The only thing I need is to get is activation from digital entitlement (I don't want to use KMS on my office laptop). Many thanks in advance!

There's a scene near the end of Battlestar Galactica where one of the main characters (Caprica) has a miscarriage. Overcome with grief, the father of the unborn child (Saul) goes to his friend (Bill Adama) to seek solace and comfort. "I know it's not the same as Zak," Saul admits to Adama. Zak was Adama's son, who had died before the events of the series began. Adama, however, doesn't respond with words. He simply embraces Saul and they weep together.
This scene captures something potentially central to but too often missing from our personal interactions with others' pain. When we are devastated we often reach out to others through a "protocol of suffering," a way of pleading for love and mercy without violating perceived principles of justice. We downplay and minimize our pain, emphasizing that we understand that we don't have it as badly as others might. We are calculating that if we follow the protocol faithfully, then we will be allowed the love and concern we so desperately yearn for. Otherwise, we say nothing, and allow ourselves to be consumed.
If it were possible to observe from a ledge of objectivity, we might see the sense in saying that Adama's experience losing his son was "worse" if only because he accumulated memories and experiences with his son that sharpened his absence in ways that Saul couldn't understand. But for precisely that same reason there's a sense that Saul's experience was "worse" because any potential relationship with his son and the chance to accumulate similar experiences had now been foreclosed to him, something Adama wouldn't be able to understand.
And yet, Saul needed the empathy of a friend, someone who could genuinely mourn with him. But he didn't think he was worthy of such empathy until he spoke the protocol of suffering and "squared" his pain with Adama's suffering. He didn't think he could be allowed the full measure of his pain until justice had been satisfied.
But real love is not and cannot be given in that way. We could easily imagine that Adama understood this, which is why he silently dismissed the protocol and embraced Saul and wept with him. That's grace. Grace doesn't tally and measure and compare lashes; it sees all suffering as a crack in being, every person's suffering as a world on fire. If it can help put the fire out it will, but if not it will sit in the fire and bear it with you. Because we've all suffered we know what it's like for our world to be on fire. There's nothing that bonds us to one another more than that worst of familiar feelings, and no aspect of the life of beings who are fully conscious that exacts a higher toll. And it's not that others require us to submit ourselves to them in this way, but that we require it of ourselves, because sometimes we believe we do not deserve to be loved, that our pain is a sign from the universe that our existence is a mistake and our continued living cannot be justified. And if someone or something doesn't challenge that logic with the grace of true love, then we will truly come to believe we are worth nothing, or even that nothing really matters, and therefore that nothing is real.
In the end this is all that love is if it is anything, all that lovers are if they are really lovers, and all that God is if God is worthy of that name: that which refuses to leave you, that guards and affirms the reality of all your sufferings, that will sit with you even though you might refuse to believe it is real.
Real love is nothing more or less than presence.

The fifth and last instalment of the wonderful collaboration between Scottish and Welsh National, and featuring the combination of Richard Armstrong, David Pountney and Maria Bjørnson, was well worth the wait, and had a shattering impact on audiences, partly through playing without an interval. It is extremely unfortunate that projected revivals in the nineties always seemed to be cancelled due to financial stringency.

Bullying, Harassment and Intimidation
Green Local Schools prohibits the harassment, intimidation, bullying or "cyberbullying" of any student on school property, including school buses/school transportation, or at school sponsored events.
According to Board of Education policy harassment, intimidation and bullying are defined as any written, verbal or physical act directed towards another student that: Causes mental or physical harm to the other student; and is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive that it creates an intimidating threatening, or abusive educational environment for another student.
Discipline for any substantiated incidents of bullying, harassment, or intimidation will be prescribed in accordance with the appropriate section of the Student Discipline Code. "Cyberbulling" involves the use of information and communication technologies such as email, cell phones, text messages, instant messaging, defamatory personal websites, Facebook or other social media accounts, to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group that is intended to harm others. To the extent permitted by the First Amendment, instances of cyberbullying off school grounds that disrupt the school environment or interfere with the learning process will be considered violations of the Student Code of Conduct and appropriate consequences will be issued by the Administration. Green Local Schools considers bullying of any sort to be a very serious concern, and those who report falsely will be issued consequences.

Equal parts glam and grit, White Reaper's forthcoming Elektra Records debut finds the band packing classic rock with grinning twin guitar leads into masterly crafted pop songs. Expected later this year, the album will follow 2017's critically acclaimed The World's Best American Band, which was praised by Pitchfork for having "more riffs than you can fit into the trunk of a Camaro". White Reaper recently treated fans to an early taste of new music with the release of their brand new single "Might Be Right". Read more about WHITE REAPER Special GuestsSpecial Guests: NO PARENTS FACEBOOKTWITTERBANDCAMPINSTAGRAMWith a cocktail of energy, humor, and sweat, No Parents bridges the gap between the catchy nostalgia of early 00's, anarchy-symbol-wristband wearing, pop-pranksters and the raw howl of glee that's resonated from mosh pits since before Reagan ever slunk into the presidency. Their live shows are both spectacle and splash zone, something to be witnessed yet impossible not to be immersed in. Thus far, no reports have surfaced of them turning any party-minded parents away at the door. Read more about NO PARENTS

Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Along with the national office, eight regional chapters grant magical wishes to children in need from coast-to-coast. Make-A-Wish Atlantic Provinces is an affiliate of Make-A-Wish® International, the largest wish-granting organization in the world, making dreams and wishes come true for more than 490,000 children since 1980.
When you donate your vehicle to the benefit of one of the participating charities below, you will receive a charitable tax receipt.¹
An excited gasp, a hearty laugh, a thoughtful sigh. What connects these important
expressions of emotion? Breath.
For most of us, breathing is so natural that we don't even think about it. Too often, we take it for granted. For the 1 in 5 Nova Scotians who struggle with lung disease, it can be their only thought.
For over 100 years, the Lung Association of Nova Scotia has been working to improve the lung health of Nova Scotians through advocacy, research, patient services and education. This includes implementing comprehensive programs for children with asthma and adults struggling with obstructive sleep apnea. We provide support to patients with COPD, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, and people awaiting lung transplants. We have taken a leadership role in advocating to government on lung health issues and we provide programming and education around key lung health issues like radon and smoking cessation. Together, we are working to make Nova Scotia a healthier place to live and breathe.
The Nova Scotia Nature Trust was created to protect and conserve our province's incredible natural legacy. Our world famous coastal landscape and its rugged beauty, our forests, lakeshores and waterways, and the plants, animals, and people who rely on these ecosystems and need them to be healthy.
We protect land in perpetuity so it can be enjoyed by all. We use a strategic, science-driven approach and work with government agencies, landowners, local communities and other conservation organizations. The Nature Trust protects nearly 100 conservation properties across Nova Scotia totaling 11,000 acres. These lands will be protected — forever.
Established in 1987, the Nature Trust of New Brunswick (NTNB) is an environmental non-profit organization dedicated to conserving ecologically significant land in in the province, as well as environmental stewardship, outreach, and education. The Nature Trust currently protect 36 nature preserves in New Brunswick, consisting of over 5500 acres of pristine forests, beautiful beaches, rocky shorelines, wetlands brimming with biodiversity, and more.
Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Along with the national office, eight regional chapters grant magical wishes to children in need from coast-to-coast. Make-A-Wish Atlantic Provinces is an affiliate of Make-A-Wish® International, the largest wish-granting organization in the world, making dreams and wishes come true for more than 490,000 children since 1980.
The PEI Humane Society has been the Island's only shelter for homeless, injured, lost, and abused companion animals for 40 years. We are a not-for- profit organization that assists over 1600 companion animals each year with no operational funding from any level of government. We provide a number of companion animal protection services, such as: an adoption program, emergency help for injured animals, cruelty and abuse investigations and animal control.
Literacy Nova Scotia (LNS) is a non-profit charitable organization supporting the literacy community in Nova Scotia since 1992. LNS exists to provide a wide range of supports that will help Nova Scotians meet today's literacy and essential skills demands. We do this by sharing information about the state of literacy in Nova Scotia and in Canada, by promoting accessible programs for all, and by collaborating with others in order to support and celebrate learning, to find solutions, and to make connections. Literacy Nova Scotia supports and serves the literacy and essential skills field through: information sharing; research; supports to practitioners and organizations; and support to learners.

The Consumer Review Fairness Act: Protecting Consumers Who Post Negative Reviews On The Internet
By admin On December 2, 2016 December 2, 2016· Leave a Comment
The use of online social business review sites, such as Yelp, Foursquare, Urbanspoon/Zomato, TripAdvisor, and many others, has grown significantly over the past few years. As of 2016, Yelp had 135 million monthly visitors and 95 million reviews; Yelp first became a profitable company in 2014. While social review platforms provide great advertisement and help build positive rapport for newer businesses, businesses face risks of negative reviews harming their reputation and steering customers elsewhere. Some businesses have responded to those risks by making their customers sign "gag orders," form contracts that either prohibit them from reviewing the business on these review platforms or include non-disparagement clauses. Non-disparagement clauses bar a party from publicly disparaging the other party, such as either leaving a negative review on a social review website or speaking poorly about a former employer. Federal courts have scrutinized similar non-disparagement clauses that bar former employees from publicly speaking poorly about an employer in employment contracts.
In 2015, a jeweler sued "Linda G.," who left this one-star Yelp review on the jeweler's Yelp page, under a defamation cause of action:
Run! Way overpriced, but worse than that is the ethics or LACK THEREOF!!
My husband, myself and some friends of ours were loyal customers of Pageo Newton, Nantucket and Boston. Together we spent 100s of thousands of dollars on some gorgeous but definitely way overpriced jewelry. It would be cheaper to fly to Italy, get a villa and buy it yourself!
…at one point I was in a very desperate situation and I sold my diamond ring to George my wedding ring/engagement ring. I was in abusive relationship… I thought I could trust him since I had given him so much business , but basically gave me not even near one 10th of what it was worth, but I was so desperate I took it so I could find a place to live and get away from my abusive husband who controlled all of our assets… George took all the jewelry that I had ever bought there and gave me peanuts for it!!
However, non-disparagement clauses in business form contracts will soon be pro se void, provided that President Obama signs the Consumer Review Fairness Act of 2016. On November 28, 2016, the Senate unanimously passed H.R. 5111, sending the bill straight to the President's desk. The law renders any provision in a business form contract that restricts, forbids, or imposes a monetary penalty/fee on a party who posts a performance review or assessment of the other party's goods and services per se void. Every time you check a box stating "I agree to the terms of service" before purchasing clothing from Nordstrom, subscribing to the Spotify music streaming service, or booking a flight using Travelocity. Many websites don't even have a separate box that you check; purchasing the product signals agreement with the Terms and Conditions. Many consumers don't read through the terms and conditions before purchasing the product; the Consumer Review Protection Act protects them from onerous litigation stemming from a $50 transaction.
Nothing in the Consumer Review Fairness Act prohibits businesses from bringing state law defamation causes of action against consumers who post negative reviews online, although a consumer's statement must be false and posted with malice to prove a defamation claim in many states.

Crime, Cheer and Cori
Born to two Berry alumns, Cori is no stranger to campus! She has a passion for criminal psychology, children and cheerleading. Learn more about Cori with Her Campus Berry!
Name: Cori Carmony
Year: freshman
Major: psychology
Minor: family sciences and Spanish
Hometown: Bethlehem, Georgia
What did you find most challenging while transitioning from high school to college?
"Not having my parents there for every little thing. You can't be like, 'Yo, mom, I need this,' and have her go get it. You have to be dependent on yourself."
Was the transition difficult?
"After Viking Venture everything fell into place. I got used to being here and not being at home. I don't feel it was a very difficult transition for me just because I've been coming up to Berry five or six times a year since I was born. Berry was already my second home, so I felt pretty comfortable right away."
Why did you visit campus so much growing up?
"Both of my parents are actually alumni. They met on campus, so I've been coming up here since I was born!"
Cori with her family
Is there anything in particular you want to do with your major and minors?
"I really want to work with kids and their families. I especially want to work with kids who have special disabilities like Down's Syndrome or behavioral issues, or kids who have been in or are currently in the prison system."
What inspired you to pursue a career in child criminal psychology?
"I've always loved kids. I got really into criminal psychology, but I knew that if I did adult criminal psychology it would be really taxing on me. No one ever focuses on the fact that kids can murder people too, and obviously there are psychological issues there if that happens. A child is more likely to be rehabilitated than an adult, and that's really my goal."
Do you like crime TV shows?
"Yes, they're my favorite! Criminal Minds, CSI and NCIS are my top three."
Do you have any hobbies?
"I love taking pictures, and I model. I like to work both sides of the camera."
What are some of activities you do on campus?
"I'm a cheerleader for football and basketball, so I do a lot of stuff with the cheer team. Right now we're doing an intramural softball team with all of us on it, so that's really fun."
Did you cheer before Berry?
"Yes, I've been cheering since the fifth grade. I normally cheer competitively. I didn't do what is considered sideline cheerleading until ninth grade. I didn't like it at first, but now I'm in love with it."
Is cheerleading different in college?
""It's definitely a lot different doing sideline cheerleading in college. I've gotten really close with a lot of the girls, and we have a really great family dynamic."
