The Signature Spellbook: Gideon Checklist
- Gideon Jura
- Martyr's Bond
- Path to Exile
- Rest in Peace
- Shielded by Faith
- True Conviction
- Worship
- Blackblade Reforged
Just in nonfoil alone, these cards are worth buying the box set. Of course, just like with Signature Spellbook: Jace, one of these cards randomly comes in foil. Obviously, you most want the Path to Exile or Rest in Peace, both competitive staples. However, Martyr's Bond is a great Commander card and Worship has actually been at the core of a few decent Modern decks. The OG Gideon Jura planeswalker, Shielded by Faith, True Conviction, and Blackblade Reforged all see some play in Commander, as well. In particular, Martyr's Bond and Shielded by Faith were both Commander deck exclusives, never before printed in foil! So, you can imagine those are sought after cards!
Is It Worth Buying the Signature Spellbook: Gideon Box Set?
Box Set Price: $33.00 - $35.00 (as of June 2019)
Market Prices (as of 6/12/2019) Non-Foil

Introduction: Despite early demonstrations that sympathetic activation elevates blood pressure and early clinical inklings that human hypertension may have a psychosomatic component, the pivotal role of the nervous system in human hypertension is only recently being clarified. We studied the effect of nutrition with different salt concentrations on autonomic nervous response.
Method: Eight groups of rats, six in each group, (one male and five female) having 200±20 gr of weight were selected, salt solutions were prepared in concentrations of 0.5, l, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, and 2 percent. Above mentioned salt solutions were given to test groups during pre-pregnancy, Pregnancy and lactation period, The control group used tap water of Isfahan, Another test group consumed distilled water. In order to study autonomic nervous response, 1% body weight of blood was substituted by the same volume of NacI 0.9% containing 1 μg/ml epinephrine and in another subgroup 1% body weight of blood was substituted by the same volume of Nacl 0.9% containing 0.1 μg/ml acetylcholine.
Result: Nutrition with salt solutions higher than 1% during prenatal period lead to an increase in infants BP during adulthood, Vascular response to epinephrine in groups which their mothers consumed higher salt concentrations were significantly increased in comparison with control group and other test groups and vascular response to acetylcholine decreased in these groups.
Discussion: Nutrition with excessive amount of salt during prenatal period leads to an increased vascular response to epinephrine which itself was due to heart and vascular changes, heart hypertrophy and an increase in the diameter of media layer. Additionally sodium could increase sympathetic activity and an increase in adrenal hormone release may help to develop hypertension. Vascular response to acetylcholine in groups which their mother consumed higher salt solution decreased and parasympathetic activity may also decreased.

ORAL22.01 - Increasing Incidence of Never Smokers in Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients (ID 707)
10:45 - 12:15 | Author(s): A. Madrigales
- Abstract
- Presentation
- Slides
It is estimated that 10-15% of lung cancer cases occur in never smokers. The cause of lung cancer in these patients includes many possible environmental factors but the precise cause in a given case is often uncertain. Additionally, there has been significant debate about whether the rate of lung cancer in these never smokers is increasing. Using our institutions' cancer registry data, our objective was to determine if the proportion of never smokers with lung cancer is increasing.
We conducted a retrospective study using lung cancer registry data from The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Parkland Hospital in Dallas, and Vanderbilt University in Nashville. These registries were queried between 1990 and 2013 for demographic information including gender, age at diagnosis, diagnosis [non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or small cell lung cancer (SCLC)], and self-reported smoking history. A total of 10,568 NSCLC cases and 1504 SCLC cases were analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the incidence of never smokers with lung cancer.
The percentage of never smokers increased among NSCLC pts between 1990 and 2013 [Table 1]. Univariate logistic regression demonstrated an increasing proportion of never smokers among NSCLC cases (p < 0.0001 for year) and multivariate logistic regression also demonstrates this increase (p < 0.0001 for year) after controlling for age and gender. Never smokers with NSCLC were more likely to be female (65.3%, p < 0.0001) than males. The increase in the percentage of NSCLC never smokers was seen at both university hospitals and the Dallas county hospital. In contrast, the percentage of never smokers among SCLC cases did not significantly increase during this time period. Table 1: Percentage of never smokers Figure 1
This multi-institution study demonstrates an increasing proportion of never smokers with NSCLC between 1990 and 2013 in a large, geographically and demographically diverse population. Because the biology and, thus, often the treatment options of lung cancer in never smokers differs from that of smokers, further investigation is warranted as to the etiology of the increasing incidence of never-smoker lung cancer.

Chicago has a new mayor and new treasurer. Illinois has a new governor. We have new aldermen and state representatives. We see change coming in different directions.
As we face change in 2019 culturally, legislatively and otherwise, I want to consider the concept of "minoritiness." It is insulting to call someone a minority in the first place. It suggests someone else is "major" or superior.
For the others, it deems you as "minor" and what you do as minor, your education your business, etc. – all minor. No one is minor. We cannot engage the idea of equity using the term and concept of "minority". We cannot change without changing it.
Recreational marijuana as a new business industry is on the legislative table and is likely to become legalized by 2020, with a push on involving "minorities" on the entrepreneurial end of the enterprise. The legislation even includes race remedies.
The mostly white male dominated corporate boards are being targeted as the state considers legislation to demand inclusion of women, African Americans, and Hispanics to corporate Illinois boards.
These are enormous changes that will impact minority communities. But I am looking for the new political powers and legislative efforts to produce a new "minority". I hope that as change is coming forth, the concept of "minority" is reconsidered.
The term "of color" is not representative of Black Americans. Lumped in does not work or reflect our racial designation. The reason it doesn't work is simple. "Of color' did not have laws that determined marriage and reading was illegal. "Of color" saw no lynchings or other horrible crimes simply because of the "black color" of your skin.
"Of color" did not put a ceiling on societal participation. "Of color" is not representative of Black Americans, whose ancestry picked cotton and provided America a free labor force.
"Of color" is not acceptable for African Americans because it does not directly address formerly enslaved people and white privilege. This mindset needs to change as it has impacted race practices and race relations.
As of now, so-called "minority" businesses seeking to conduct business with the various governments have to be certified. That is, you have to be registered and be on a list as a certified, and/or licensed "minority". Certification comes in the form of gender and race.
Realistically, the only demographic that is not a minority is a "white male." So why use the term "minority" in the first place? The reason is the law; the government with its Black Codes and Jim Crow laws legalized racism and discrimination. The only way to eradicate these governmental social ills is to move from negative laws to positive ones.
This is a must in the case of African Americans and women. Other American racial groups seem to pull up by their immigrant bootstraps, but they don't have the legal ills attached. They haven't been targeted, as Blacks have been. But now it's time for the target to become positive and enforced.
Currently, once a "minority" gets the magic certification, you "qualify" for a business portion of a government contract, usually at previously determined set-aside demarcations of 20 percent or five percent, depending on whether you are Black, female, or disadvantaged.
So from the onset you, Mr. or Ms. Minority, are limited in your business endeavors. Yet your expenses, your rent, phone bill, gas bill and the like are processed in full, with no minority discount.
In fact, too often these costs have been redlined, meaning that some expenses, like bank loans and insurance, are higher in minority communities.
The 2019 Minority
Some will argue that if "minority" businesses are not "certified" how will they be "identified"? I am suggesting new rules for the target.
So now, here we are in 2019 staring new lucrative industries in the face. What will the participation be? What list will the rich dominant ones choose from?
I should hope that equity is in the air – business equity meaning that you could do business according to your skill set, ability and capacity. The real question here is how do small businesses grow with a set ceiling?
And here is a Catch 22 of the "minority" business identity – after you make a certain amount of money as a certified minority, you graduate out of the minority program. But you're still a "minority" aren't you? How about it?
Some minority businesses refuse to fill out the volumes of certification papers that ask for everything from you but DNA samples and a birth certificate for proof of your racial and/or gender identity.
Some say damn the magic list; it's not that productive for all business endeavors. The affirmative action regulation that governs the 20-5 percent set-asides was written for the construction industry and does not favor professionals for the most part anyway.
Some will argue that declaring your "minoritiness" is preferable because if the affirmative action rules are rightfully executed, it leads to economic gain, and that it is better to have a fraction of some business than none at all.
This is true, but I question the waivers – that's when the dominant business claims they can't find a minority business to fulfill the set-aside requirements, so they get the contract anyway, rather than the contract being halted until a qualified minority can be found. Often the, "I can't find a minority" challenge can be solved with a, "Who did you ask and where did you look?"
The point is that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, depending on the enforcement, which is all over the place and falters far too often.
Segregation Or Integration?
As we look at the history and progress of Black business in this city and country, it seems evident that Black businesses were more prosperous in the days of segregation than integration. Minority businesses get lost in the integration pot, whereas in the market of segregation, the niche business enjoys a monopoly or limited competition at best.
Johnson Products and Soft Sheen Products, for example, were just fine thank you and multi-million-dollar profitable companies before Revlon and L'Oreal came along with buyouts, masterful marketing plans, and Hollywood "of color" models that advertise exclusively in magazines like Vogue and Elle.
The community benefited from these companies in the form of job creation, politics, advertising, legal, accounting, investment, b-to-b business, and philanthropy.
Essence Magazine and Soul Train entered pop culture with Johnson Products' Ultra Sheen advertising of the "natural" and "afro" hairdos. The money from these companies circulated within the Black community amongst ad agencies, banks, and for civil rights financing, etc. Harold Washington's campaign for mayor of Chicago was sponsored by Soft Sheen's radio ad budget.
I should hope the new administrations of Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker take a strong hard look, with expert heads and business entrepreneurs at the table, to reconsider the minority classification and pay more attention to their government spends with minority businesses.
It would be revolutionary if governments considered contracts based on taxes. I want ceilings removed and opportunities made more available. Too many businesses and government agencies don't even think of minority businesses as they conduct theirs.
For example, when was the last time you saw Navy Pier invite Black folk to its attractions? When did you last see the Park District advertise recreational schedules to Black and brown kids? Or any of the state's colleges and universities target advertising/marketing campaigns to recruit Black students that they claim they can't find. Black people don't exist for these organizations for the most part. There is little civic engagement with the Black community.
We need new thinking, new ways, new approaches and new money to eradicate racism and sexism.
Each city and state government department should be examined to see what the spend is for minority professional services/janitorial services/products/and the like. Each department should have a percentage of business dedicated to minorities and/or a certain spend level.
Years ago as a minority businessperson, I signed up for everything minority. I checked the boxes for "women" and "African American". I went to every conference and signed the forms. The mainstream corporate company kept the white form, and I kept the pink form.
After the expo, the conference, the business meeting, you then work the maze. The maze is the hierarchy of the organization. You move about from the diversity officer to procurement, then these departments put you on the list and if they need, when they need, they will consider you.
If you continue to press them, you will eventually get to the department where you belong…and then you are placed on another list. And then you find out that the budget is already spent or that they will consider you next year, and that never comes. This is the corporate excuse of not doing business with minorities in spite of the mandates and the good rhetorical talk of "diversity" and "inclusion".
And then you go back to the same conference and start the dumb process all over again as you lunch with the CEOs who get awards for their diversity commitments. Or you hear a keynote from the one "minority" that broke through and did profitable business with that company. And then you go home and wait until next year's conference.
So what the hell did I take the pink form for in the first place? It's a shell game, a shame and a joke. Seldom do you get the business, unless you decide to raise hell in some shape or fashion. You are not appreciated for your skill set or market ability or capacity.
It is always interesting to know from these companies what their minority spend is. It is usually minor or peanuts in comparison to their total spending.
We need new measures. How about tying how much they spend in the community to the levels of minority consumerism? There is a significant gap there.
Stores and businesses open in our community and at best spend the least amount they can for a market that they take for granted yet provide them significant revenue – and that includes businesses like Mariano's, Walmart, Jewel, Pete's Produce, AT&T, and on and on.
The Philanthropic Community
And then there is the philanthropic community, which has overlooked the minority community for the most part or seen us with pitiful, downtrodden, have-mercy eyes. They are beginning to wake up and take conscience note that they must fund minority efforts if change is to come forth.
But what do they fund? They fund children's recreational activity at established organizations like the Y, but they won't fund Project Hood with a hefty grant as Pastor Corey Brooks attempts to build a Y-like facility on one of Chicago's most underserved blocks at 63rd and King Drive.
The institution he is trying to build will be transformational for the people living in that neighborhood. Brooks truly understands the community undercurrents of what is needed for change.
The philanthropics fund cultural activity and they fund research on social problems. But they don't fund solutions, they don't fund start-ups, they don't fund Black innovation, they don't fund Black lecture series that would bring success stories or intellectualism to the community.
They don't fund marketing, they don't fund Black archives, they don't fund Black creativity, they don't fund scholarships. They don't fund Black success: they keep the marginalization in place. When they do fund minorities, they fund with minor money.
The philanthropic community needs challenging on moving major monies into minority communities beyond playing in the park and why Johnny can't read type research as he lives with his single mother. The foundations need to honestly look at "impact investments."
Real money is needed to be allocated to people of the community who understand from experience and reality the genuine dynamics of social issues and can bring solutions to community problems with a budget rather than church-like volunteerism and "let's make Johnny a good boy" attitudes.
Dollars are needed on the ground to revitalize marginalized communities, with firm commitments to a minimum of five years of funding. The red tape needs to be dismissed to let people roll up their sleeves and get to work, because they can.
I went to a world-class foundation a few years ago with a proposal for a book, a book about Black people who have made history, but who missed the newspapers and would probably never be mentioned in "traditional" history books, yet had made significant, world-class achievements.
I was told no to the proposal as I was asked who would want to read such a book about Black people. I cried as the Asian woman, to whom I had been steered to discuss the proposal, dismissed me. It was one of the most insulting meetings ever and haunts me to this day. This woman grantor had not a clue of what I was talking about, yet she funded a similar book undertaking on flowers. Really now.
But it made me more determined to pull the book together than ever. The book was self-published as N'DIGO Legacy: Black Luxe – 110 African American Icons of Contemporary History and released in 2018.
This foundation that I went to funds everything, and just about every national television program on PBS, but funds nothing that reflects Black life. It would have been easier to get funding for a rat mating with an elephant. They would have found that notion curious and interesting, filled with intrigue and possibility of what the outcome of a "new animal that would changed the world" might look like.
The point is that these philanthropic foundations too often miss reality and practical problem-solving issues. They need to be more impactful with their dollars surrounding community issues that could be game changers.
The Power of Listening
I am hopeful that with a new politic of listening and power, these issues are confronted, and that the marginalized are allowed to stand up and be all that they can be.
The previous Chicago administration did not, unfortunately, have listening abilities as Rahm Emanuel led with dictatorship and a Father Knows Best attitude. But to make sure you knew that Emanuel was a certified liberal, he would cite his mother marching with Dr. King and others in the Civil Rights Movement on Sundays.
But Rahm missed the point as he unapologetically and continually built up downtown and North Side communities during his tenure, but handed crumbs to the Black and brown communities. So much for marching liberalism.
The marginalized have to stand firm and tall and be real in the discussion in the white rooms. Let's take political correctness off the table as well as Black romanticism.
I wonder if Dr. King had approached a foundation with the idea and concept of "marching" and "protesting" to eradicate America of its original sin of "racism", would a foundation have funded a march or boycott for social justice. Probably not.
I wonder if as a young woman, Aretha Franklin could have gone to a foundation to request funding for a recording to be done in a church that would become the movie Amazing Grace and the bet ever recording on gospel music. She probably would have been rejected on the grounds that she did not hold a music degree and was not performing at a university.
I wonder if Berry Gordy could have approached a foundation for funding of a new start-up company that would take children, mostly poor teens, off the street corner and bring them into the studio to sing and write songs and record music.
I wonder if he could have received funds for equipment and salaries for what would produce the Motown sound and a new pop culture that went global. Probably not.
I wonder if Jesse Jackson could have received funding for a proposal for Operation Breadbasket, an effort that would introduce small Black businesses to corporate companies for the purpose of economic development. Probably not.
I also wonder if Jeff Bezos would have gotten funding for inventing a new "retail model" called Amazon. I wonder if Mark Zuckerberg would have gotten funding for "connecting" people in a new way that he would call Facebook. I wonder if Steve Jobs would have gotten funding for a new concept of a "pocket telephone". Probably not in all three cases.
My point is the foundations need to invest real money on real ideas and people that can make a difference and bring about systemic change.
With the newness of our government administrations and people in power, we need new thinking, new ways, new approaches and new money to eradicate racism and sexism. We need funding and opportunity for "minority" success.
I can dream, can't I?

MFA Student Pálína Jónsdóttir Directs Babette's Feast
March 1, 2017
Current student, Pálína Jónsdóttir directs her adaptation of Babette's Feast, this March at The Connelly Theater for her theatre directing thesis. Based on the eponymous anecdote by Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen), Babette's Feast tells the story of Babette, a great artist and culinary genius who seeks asylum in a small Protestant community in Norway. The story received greater exposure when it was adapted into afilm in 1987, which won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
"It was playing in a cinema in Reykjavik, where I went with my mother to see it. I loved the movie and it stuck with me for a long time," wrote Jónsdóttirr, when asked about the production. "Initially, what resonated most deeply with me was the transformative power of art that a great artist can have on her community.
For her adaptation, Jónsdóttir is working directly from the original story, seeking to translate it's captivating qualities directly to the stage. In addition to her interest in new and classical plays, she comes to the project with a love of opera and visual art and with an extensive background in acting and dance.
"This production is a conglomeration of my master directing studies for the last three years at Columbia University. It features a culmination of my directing characteristics and qualities that signifies my work at this time and place in my career," Jónsdóttir wrote. "Theater is a very complex art form because it uses all the other arts as its means to convey life on stage. So the director's job is very challenging. It is really an intense excavation into the chosen material, digging into its soil, looking for the golden bits that must be illuminated to reveal its hidden secrets. In effect, theatre is really a journey into the unknown guided by a strong intuitive hunch of what the core of the material really inhabits."
While the theatrical choices for how to bring the story to the stage have provided an exciting challenge, recent political events have created new resonances with the story itself. Babette is a revolutionary who has lost everything—her husband, her son, and her career—in the aftermath of the Paris Commune in 1871. She comes as a refugee to Norway and is saved by two sisters whose fervent religious beliefs are at odds with her own. While their differences don't lead to explicit fighting, the story's journey investigates how Babette's passion and artistry is capable of reshaping this austere community.
"I've never felt that I understand better than in these turbulent times why I do the work that I do and the necessity of it," Jónsdóttir continued. "Theatre must be about us and about our place in the world, here and now. It is also one of these very few places left where we come together as a community to experience human actions on a broad scale. The root of all great art is political and I am deeply committed to making radical theatre work that addresses our times and contributes to discovery and understanding of the human existence and its complexity with the hope it may inspire actions towards uniting our divided world."
Tickets for Babette's Feast are free with any CUID, $15 for General Admission, and $5 for Seniors; they can be purchased here. Performances are at the Connelly Theatre, 220 East 4th Street, at 8 pm on March 8-10 and at 2 pm and 8 pm on March 11.

Change, challenge and tough competition describe the market in which the new Hjerta organisation is being launched. The asset manager Monyx and the broker organisation Hjerta have merged under the new joint brand – Hjerta. Achieving the goal of becoming one of Sweden's leading financial advisors requires extensive branding. The new identity and joint brand must convey competence and resources, and preserve the uniqueness of Hjerta – entrepreneurship and strength in local markets.
In order to create a strong joint brand, reaching more customers and conveys what is unique about Hjerta, Narva developed strategic recommendations. Based on extensive research and insights, a position was created which clearly differentiated Hjerta from its competitors. The new brand was launched on Valentine's Day with communication support and PR activities. Digital campaigns were implemented during the spring in social media, combined with native advertisements and PR activities.
Lena Högfeldt
acting CEO of Hjerta
The new Hjerta is growing. Increasing numbers of brokering companies and advisers are affiliating themselves and want to operate under the new brand. The first digital campaign during the spring of 2018 was very well received, both externally and internally, with results well above expectations. The new brand means that Hjerta is now equipped to face the competition. A brand is strong when expectations and promises are in harmony with the customer's experience. Building a brand takes time and the journey continues.

Impact-Seekers from every age gathered at the Edutech Hackathon to offer disruptive solutions in the field of education
On October 19-21, Garage48 and foundation Innove held an international hackathon named Edutech. The objective was to develop new educational technology solutions.
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world," said Nelson Mandela once. Our hackathon was kicked-off on Friday evening with this quote presented by our co-hosts Kai Isand and Joao Rei, underlining the importance of every single idea to create an impact on our biggest and longest journey in life: education!
Let's start from the beginning and explain how come education became a key topic for a hackathon. Think of a car from 150 years ago – or should we say a horse carriage? How about the phones back in 19th century? Think of the fancy smartphone you are holding right now and imagine those museum-like phones from old times. The modern transformation in education, however, hasn't been that impressive. Many kids today are certainly more exposed to digital engagement in learning processes, but we are still lacking personalised and engaging approaches in many disciplines of education.
Our participants came up with many disruptive ideas and their suggested solutions were truly remarkable. So many innovative and practical solutions were discussed to be applied to the field of education in the most effective ways by our multinational and inter-disciplined attendees. We had more than 100 participants from 14 different nationalities, including Latvia, Belarus, Turkey, Estonia, Moldova, Morocco, Ukraine, India and South Africa. 31 ideas were pitched and 17 of these found teams. 10 ideas were pitched by students aged 12-18! This was the first time in the history of Garage48 that next to professionals also mid- and high school students were involved in a hackathon. They didn't only pitch brilliant ideas but also took part as participants to provide real-life insights, beside competing with their various skills.
"We initiated this hackathon to trigger and observe the real impact by bringing people from different ages and backgrounds together. The aim is to enable education to become something more personal – customised, so to say – through both psychological and technological mediums," stated Birgit Lao, CEO of Innove. "We heard 31 ideas with a potential of tremendous change and are very proud to be a part of something much bigger than ourselves."
"It was truly amazing to witness so many young students coming all the way to Estonia from different countries just to make their voices heard and make a real difference in the system – meaning in their actual lives and futures," added our co-host Joao Rei passionately.
While some participants came prepared with detailed market research and/or certain materials to support their ideas (e.g. a bag full of Legos), some came with ready solutions (e.g. ready VR tools, an interactive button, etc.) looking for problems for an ideal match. Eventually a great balance was set among different age groups and diverse skill-sets in order to provide the best results within 48 hours.
After seeing 17 teams presenting their brilliant prototypes at the final event, the jury had to make a decision and choose the winners. As our host Joao Rei stated, everyone involved were real winners as they came together and dedicated their weekends on something very important for all people. Yet, the strongest teams had to be recognized. The overall winner was Feed Bee – a tool that helps students rate how well they understood their lessons and provide the reasons, as the essential part of education is direct feedback and collaboration.
"It was very humbling to work and brainstorm with different age groups as equals – and the best part was that these 2 young minds were the ones who found the best ideas and we just implemented them!" said team leader Indrek Stern. "All the hardwork was worth it," added young participants Marta (12yo) and Vera (11yo) with tears of happiness in their eyes.
See all the ideas presented at our hackathon HERE!

A ROSE TO THE OCCASIONkk-admin
From the earliest times, indeed throughout the history of civilization, people from around the world have held the rose close to their hearts 마인크래프트 1.13.2 버킷. The earliest known gardening was the planting of roses along the most travelled routes of early nomadic humans. Earliest roses are known to have flourished 35 million-years ago and hips have been found in Europe and petrified rose wreaths have been unearthed from ancient Egyptian tombs 다운로드.

Roman high society women used petals much like currency believing that they could banish wrinkles if used in poultices 다운로드. Rose petals were often dropped in wine because it was thought that the essence of rose would stave off drunkenness.

War of Roses
The war started when the nobles of York rose against Henry VI of Lancaster who was a feeble ruler 폰부스 영화 다운로드. The Yorkists held power until Richard III lost his throne to the Lancastrian Henry Tudor. Henry Tudor married into the House of York. This personal union ended the conflict, and a new famous dynasty, the Tudors, emerged 옛날 가요 다운로드.
The War of the Roses was a civil war in England that lasted from 1455-1487. The House of York adopted a white rose (R 아오오니 3.0 다운로드. alba). The House of Lancaster decided to take a red rose (R. Gallica). The winner of this war, Tudor Henry VII, merged his Lancastrian rose with the red rose of his York bride and thus created the Tudor Rose, the Rose of England.
Roses in Modern Period
For many years hybrid teas and floribundas have been the most popular types of roses. There are many different types of roses:
- Antico Moderno™ Roses – A renaissance of nostalgic flower shapes
- Hybrid Tea roses – Queens of the garden
- Floribunda Roses – Flower power in action
- Fairy Tale™ Roses – Beauty spots on the cheeks of the world
- Miniature Roses – Flowering jelly tots
- Colourscape roses – The Artists' landscape
- Cushion Groundcovers
- Low Shrub roses (informal)
- Scrambler Roses (prostrate groundcovers)
- Midinette – Climbing starts
- Panarosa™ Roses – A rose panorama
- Spire™ Roses – Towering beauties
- Climbers, Ramblers, Shrub and Pillar roses
- Standard Roses
In recent years old roses are making a revival. The term 'cabbage rose' is a broad term used to describe rose blooms that have such a full petal arrangement that their unfolding shape is likened to the densely unfolding leaves of a cabbage. The original Centifolia (hundred petalled) roses were grown in gardens and parks in the 17th century. These roses were adored not only for the beauty of their blooms, but even more so for their rich intense fragrance.
Centifolias originally flowered only once, in spring, but retained their green leaves into winter. Only when they were cross pollinated with repeat-flowering varieties in the 18th century did new cultivars appear that flowered in spring and then carried on sprouting new blooms in flushes from summer into autumn.
This gave rise to a diversity of roses in nostalgic flower shapes that range from shallow, open and deep cups and incurved and recurved petals, button eyes, pompom rosette and quartered rosette blooms.
Many of these cabbage rose varieties exude their very own distinct, complex, rich and magnificent fragrance.
Today we are spoilt for choice, so you have every reason to add a touch of vintage to your vegetable garden by planting exquisite, fragrant cabbage roses that will create excitement amount your leafy greens!
Breeders around the world have put all their efforts into improving the health of roses in recent years and seem to be winning the battle. Many of the new introductions are now stronger, healthier and disease resistant than ever before, and who knows, we may just see the end of the black spot problem in the next few years, plus the introduction of a 'Royal Blue Rose'.
The future is definitely looking rosy.

If you think you have fallen in love with the beautiful bird parrot, there are various interesting parrot facts that you must know which can drive you even crazier about them. These colorful birds have three hundred and fifty different species.
Parrots reside in tropical and subtropical areas of South America, North America, Australia, Africa and Southeast Asia. The two main types of parrot families are the Psittacidae and the Cacatuidae. The Psittacidae include the miniature cockatiels and giant parrots, better known as Macaw and the Kakapo.
The Cacatuidae are better put as cockatoos. They differ mostly in their moveable head crest when compared to the Psittacidae. Compared to the true parrots, they have the additional gal bladder body part and are easier to teach tricks. Parrots, especially in their modern interpretation, use profanity when speaking, where as cockatoo is less vocal. The African grays, the Parakeets, the Amazons, the Conures, the Caiques and the Quakers are among other parrot families.
Parrots are formally named the "Ardea cinerea" in the Animalia kingdom. All parrots have strong legs and curved beaks. Each parrot has zygodactyl feet (four toes on each foot). Two toes point forward while the others point backward. Having these toes/feet help with walking, climbing tree trunks and keeping a steady grip.
In addition, parrots range in their sizes. Some are 3.5 inches, while others reach the staggering 40 inches. Parrots range from weighing a few hours to over three and a half pounds. South American parrots are generally green, while American parrots are blue or yellow. Most people are used to seeing parrots in a variety of colors – most are this way, more than one color.
Parrots acquire their maturity anywhere from 1 to 4 years old. The Macaws (the larger of the parrot families) and the cockatoos live for more than 75 years, while others, usually the smaller parrots, live to be about 15 years old. Parrots build their nests in tree holes, rock cavities, tunnels in the ground or termite mounts.
A parrot diet consists of fruits, seeds, birds, nectar and pollen. Some do eat insects. Just like dogs, parrots are sought out to be the best human companions. They are able to mimic what they hear and imitate noises surrounding them. The African gray parrots are among the best mimickers.
Parrots are believed to be in danger of extinction and so there are efforts being made by parrot lovers across the world to save them. Even after having explored these many aspects about parrots, there are ever so many parrot facts that are quite fascinating and may interest people.
For interesting formation on parrot facts, check out Alan Stables's website on talking parrots.

SA motorists who usually use an EzyReg account to do their transactions must now use mySA GOV. It's part of the plan to put all transactions with the SA government in the same place with one login. The app will store all your information digitally and safely. Also, it will send you vehicle registration reminders so you don't have to worry about forgetting again.
The new mySA GOV app can store selected government passes and licences on your Apple or Android smartphone or tablet.
Currently, the app stores proof of age cards, boat licences and land agent details but others will be added over time. For example, digital driver's licences (learners, provisional and full licence) should be available in late 2017.
Many people question the security of having all their personal information available from one source. Fortunately, this app has several layers of security:
- Encrypted storage
- Safe connections
- Screenshot protection
- One-time barcode
- PIN and fingerprint protection
- Identity verification.
Remember, if you already have an EzyReg account, you can login to mySA GOV using your existing details.
People who prefer not to do their transactions online – or are unable to – will still be able to keep their physical licences for some time to come. In fact, some businesses may request to see a physical licence because they are not yet set up for digital ID.

Major Win for Acid Attack Survivors: India Orders Free Reconstructive Surgeries
It's a cruel crime that is shockingly common in many African and Asian countries: throwing acid in a person's face, leaving them disfigured and often blind. As many as 1,500 people are attacked with acid every year. Most of them are women and girls, often ones who have rejected a marriage proposal or sexual advance or somehow accused of bringing shame to their families. They are left struggling with medical bills and a life hobbled by disability.
Now, India's Supreme Court is taking landmark steps to make things easier for recovering sruvivors. Last week, the court ordered all hospitals to treat acid attack victims for free, including food, medicine, and reconstructive surgeries, reports the Times of India. It also decreed that state governments must pay victims a minimum compensation of 300,000 rupees, or approximately $4,800. "We find that amount will not be burdensome" to state governments, the justices wrote in their decision. But it could mean a lot to individual victims in a country where the median per capita income is barely over $600 per year.
Acid attacks are carried out in many countries and by people of diverse religions, according to the British-based Acid Survivors Trust International. But they are most common in Cambodia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India. The Indian government alone officially documented 309 acid attacks last year, although activists say the number could be far higher.
The attacks are rarely fatal but "cause severe physical, psychological, and social scarring," says ASTI. Survivors can't be cured with a single operation, the group says: they "need long-term access to a holistic program of medical support, rehabilitation, and advocacy." That typically includes a dozen or more hospital visits. The damage can be extensive: acid eats away skin, fat, and sometimes even the bone underneath. Some victims lose all or part of their eyelids, eyes, lips, noses, ears, and hair. In addition, many disfigured survivors are ostracized from their communities, making it difficult to earn a living or find social and emotional support.
"The lack of rehabilitation is one of the biggest problems that survivors face," Alok Dixit of the Indian group Stop Acid Attacks told Trust.org. "Most victims come from poor families and therefore cannot afford the full medical treatment and just get very basic treatment. Others end up selling off all their assets, including property, to pay for these surgeries, and they end up in debt."
The legal system has taken steps to curb attacks. In past rulings, the justices have imposed stronger controls on sales of acid, and India recently became one of just a few countries with laws explicitly criminalizing acid attacks. The hope is that this will encourage more victims to come forward; as it is, many survivors don't report the crime because they or their families often blame the victim for bringing the attack on herself, or because they fear further reprisals.
ASTI works with organizations in six countries to support victims and lobby for change, and the results so far are positive. In Bangladesh, the number of acid attacks fell from 496 in 2002 to under 100 in 2011, according to the group. That's still far too many, but along with the Indian court's recent decision, it's a solid step in the right direction.

There is an article by Bryan Appleyard in the dead tree edition of today's Sunday Times Culture magazine, about the play and includes a brief interview with Joseph, who apparently is in the process of losing 2 stone in weight for the role.
"I have to look the part, as there does seem to be an implicit understanding in the play of how long he has been in these terrible places. There' is a kind of addiction to matyrdom in him that has quite a bit of glamour in it. It seems quite important to him that his name is known in the west."

Administrative secretary in Residence Life and Housing, Gwen Dolph loves the office's sense of teamwork and shared mission. Her "best gift ever" -- 11 grandchildren and one on the way -- and a very personal cause also keep her engaged.
What is an administrative secretary?
I do a lot of administrative support for Dr. Rick Kolenda (assistant vice president for Residence Life and Housing). I assist him with some of the more in-depth administrative tasks -- conduct letters, scheduling. I supervise the support staff. We currently have five support staff members. I'm in CSEA; my state title is Secretary II.
What kinds of things may arise that you deal with?
I have a lot to do with break housing -- students who might have to stay on campus during break -- along with summer storage for our international students who are flying home for the summer. Early arrivals -- students who have to arrive on campus from break earlier than scheduled. Students also come to us with access issues. I support our assistant director -- I check out their access cards, make sure they're set properly and troubleshoot items like that.
What's your favorite part of the job?
I love the students. They're so interesting, and it's nice to make a connection with them, even, "How's your day going?" or "Are you going home for the summer?" I really like to make a connection with the international students. They're immersed in our culture, which may be very different from their homeland, and I like to find out a little bit about them -- especially how to pronounce their name. To me, that's so important. It's interesting to get a little glimpse of their culture and make them feel as comfortable as possible when they're so far away from home. I helped a student from Brazil a couple of years ago with some break housing, and we got it resolved. When he went back home, he gave me a keychain from Brazil. I have it hanging on my bulletin board. To know that I made a little bit of a difference, brightened somebody's day, that makes it all worthwhile.
When did you start at SUNY Oswego?
I started in the Registrar's Office at SUNY Oswego 13 years ago. I was there a year, then I got a promotional position in the Counseling Services Center. I enjoyed that work, because, again, you connect with the students, help them through a rough time. I was there for five years. I then went to the Metro Center because I had gotten married and moved to Weedsport, so I thought it would be an easier commute. Turns out it was just a different commute -- not much difference mileage wise. I also liked what I did there. It's more of a business-type environment -- you're working with nontraditional students who are taking graduate classes. You work a lot with community organizations and professional development. I was there three years. There was then the chance for a promotion to come here four years ago to Residence Life and Housing. This has been a very good move for me.
What can you tell us about your co-workers?
I work with some awesome people. I certainly couldn't do it all myself -- they make me look good. I think I work for one of the best departments on campus. We all work as a team. We have two front desk personnel, Ellie Hayes and Michelle Hartshorne. They are so much more than receptionists. They are the front lines, so they answer the phones and deal with walk-ins, parents and students -- they try to triage the situations -- but they also do a lot of administrative support for the associates. Also on the support staff is Mary Craw, who does the room selection process and anything that has to do with occupancy -- she's the one that, in collaboration with the associate director, makes the magic happen to get all the students their assignments and room changes. Alexandra Sorbello is our artist/designer -- she handles all of our Facebook, photos, social media, publications and digital signage. I think we go out of our way to find ways to help our students. Rick has been a great supervisor -- he's been a mentor. He deals with so many things that I have insight to that others may not know about, and he keeps us on an even keel. In addition, I work with three associate directors, Marie Germain, Renee Landers-Jennings and Sara Rebeor, and an assistant director, Jacob Gardner -- they are amazing! We have been short-staffed several times in recent years, but we all help each other out. I love the camaraderie here -- we're like a family.
Where were you born and raised?
I was born in Oswego and raised in the town of Mexico. I went to the Mexico school district and graduated from high school there. I wound up working at the school district for 19 years. I worked in the kitchen and ended up being the kitchen manager. Unfortunately, I had an accident and tore my shoulder cuff and couldn't do the lifting required by the job. That's when I took the state Civil Service test and ended up here.
What can you tell us about your family?
My husband was also a state worker; he worked for the DOT (Department of Transportation). He 's retired now. We still live in Weedsport. I was fortunate enough to have four wonderful children. I like to say I also have two "bonus" children who have become very near and dear to my heart -- two wonderful stepsons came with the package when we got married eight years ago. Between us, my husband and I will have 12 grandchildren -- the 12th is expected in September! They are just the best gift ever. They range in age from almost 17 to newborn in September.
What do you like to do off campus?
In my spare time, I love to read -- I'm an avid reader. I love to spend time with family and outdoors, puttering around outdoors trying to grow flowers. I don't have a green thumb, but I try. (Laughs.) I like laid-back cookouts. We have a family camp on Owasco Lake, where we spend a lot of fun times in the summer. We have a boat. I do try to make the grandkids' sporting events and dance recitals when I can. Our little granddaughter, almost 3, is now starting dance and soccer. I ate lunch on Grandparents' Day with my grandson who's in kindergarten. My oldest granddaughter is involved in the C-NS softball team. Another granddaughter is in lacrosse at West Genesee, and my grandson has been on the track team there. My twin granddaughters who live in South Carolina are also involved in dance.
What can you tell us that many people don't know about you?
One thing I usually don't make public is my battle with breast cancer -- I am a two-time survivor. I enjoy helping with Passionately Pink for the Cure on campus. I participate in the annual Making Strides walk in Syracuse for breast cancer awareness sponsored by the American Cancer Society. I was selected to help cut the ribbon at one of the walks. That was when I had reached my fifth year of survivorship. That meant a lot to me. I've seen so many people close to me battle cancer. I think overcoming it … I don't know how to put it … all of the support I received from my family in keeping a positive attitude was just one of the best things ever. I would love to see a world where cancer is obliterated. It makes me angry and makes me want to find a way to end it. I hope my daughters and my granddaughters never have to experience any of that.

What is Crypton ransomware?
Crypton ransomware is a scam trying to fool users into contacting fake Microsoft technical support. According to reports, Crypton ransomware installs onto your computer via software bundles, which would make it a potentially unwanted program (PUP). If it's installed onto your computer, Crypton ransomware will lock your screen, prevent you from accessing your data normally and then ask you to contact fake tech-support. Crypton ransomware will not harm your computer, although it might claim otherwise. The worst it will do is lock your screen. In order to unlock your computer, you will need to delete Crypton ransomware.
What does Crypton ransomware do?
Crypton ransomware seems to be able to spread using software bundles. This means it's attached to free software as an optional item. It's not really optional if you choose Default settings during freeware installation. It will install automatically unless you choose Advanced or Custom settings. Always opt for those settings because they will allow you to deselect all added items. You might also get infected if open malicious spam emails. Always double check the email sender and the contents before you open the file attached to it. And try to avoid clicking on suspicious ads and close pop-up ads as soon as they appear.
You might be familiar with Microsoft's technique to fight piracy. As you most likely know, if you have a pirated version of Windows on your computer and download Microsoft updates, your screen will lock and you will not be able to access your computer and your data unless you put in a valid key. The people behind Crypton ransomware are trying to copy that. Please note that Microsoft has nothing to do with Crypton ransomware. If Crypton ransomware locks your screen, it might claim that you are using a pirated version of Windows and that you need to contact their customer support. You can bypass this lock screen if you boot your computer in Safe Mode. Then you will find a txt file that claims that your data will be deleted in 72 hours. This is not true so do not be alarmed. If you follow their advise and contact their tech-support, you might be scammed into buying expensive useless software or fooled into giving them remote access to your computer. There is nothing wrong with your computer and you just need to delete Crypton ransomware to unlock your screen.

The Crafty
Small enough to fit in your pocket, the Crafty is a luxury item with enough bells and whistles to back up its $400 price tag. This dry herb vaporizer links to an (easily downloadable) app that allows you to regulate temperature, modify settings, and make adjustments via your smartphone. The design is very solid, with a ridged chamber that acts as a grip and makes it possible for heat to dissipate quickly. There's also a cooling unit with a swiveling mouthpiece, which allows for long, smooth draws of vapor that won't burn your throat. The filling chamber holds a decent amount of dry material, and the Crafty comes with an herb grinder that also acts as a storage device and attaches to the filling chamber for easy transfer of ground material. One caveat: The temperature drops quickly when not in use, so you have to keep it active to maintain steady heat — which could be good or bad, depending on how much you want to vape.
