We present you a route to reach the highest peaks of the Pyrenees. A trip that will allow us to go over Posets-Maladeta National Park from one mountain hut to the other. Get to know and enjoy the most alpine part of our Pyrenees.
Access to mountain huts and Hospital de Benasque, hotel that has all kind of amenities and excellent gastronomy.
In our own vehicles, we will drive to the parking lot in Cascadas de Escarpisona. From there, and through Forcau's valley, we will climb to Angel Orús' hut. Once there, we have the option to extend the day and climb Tucón Redondo (2.645m).
Ascent to Posets Peak (3.375m), through Neu's valley (climbing the peak is not required to continue with the route). We will cross to Paul's pass (3.060m), and from this solitary valley we will have a nice downhill and a key pass to reach Estos' hut (1.890m).
From Estos' hut we will descent to Turmo's cabin (1.740m), and then climb to Ubaga's pass (2.703m), and up to Perdiguero's peak (3.222m). We will go down to Portal de Remuñe (2.831m) and enjoy a great downhill through the valley down to Llanos de Benasque (1.758m). There, we will spend the night in Hospital de Benasque, a charming hotel with a lot of history.
Day to rest and enjoy the beauty of Posets-Maladeta National Park. We will smoothly climb to Renclusa's hut. For those with extra energy, possibility to climb Paderna's peak (2.700m).
We will start early in the morning to reach Portillón Superior, a pass that will give us access to Aneto's glacier. From there we will cross to Mahoma's pass, that will get us to Aneto's peak (3.404m). By doing a circular route, we will go down through Valle de Barrancs to Llanos del Hospital, enjoying one of the longest runs in the Pyrenees.


Can We Trust The Data on Student Achievement?
Everyone is paying very close attention to student achievement data these days, but there is evidence that the data reported are inaccurate at best or worse, intentional skewed. Today we'll examine the integrity of student achievement reporting. We'll look at the flaws, impact and potential solutions.
How Do We Create Powerful and Patient Problem Solvers?


This device is a semi-automatic cement air permeability tester used for specific surface or Blaine value.
Two test methods are given: test method A is the reference test method using the manually operated standard Blaine apparatus, while test method B permits the use of an automated apparatus, which has demonstrated acceptable performance.
The Blaine air-permeability apparatus consists essentially of a means of drawing a definite quantity of air through a prepared bed of cement of definite porosity. The Blaine works by drawing a definite quantity of air through of bed of cement exhibiting a definitive porosity value. The number and size of the pores in a prepared bed of definite porosity is a function of the size of the particles and determines the rate of airflow through the bed. This procedure is outlined in ASTM C204, Method A and AASHTO T153.
The standard Humboldt Blaine Air Permeability Apparatus consists of: calibrated U-tube manometer, ground glass joint, stainless steel test cell and plunger, rubber aspirator bulb and perforated disc. Includes an 8 oz (226.8g) bottle of red manometer fluid, filter paper, wood block for holding test cell during filling and a funnel. Mounted on finished wood panel with rubber-footed base. To perform this test, NIST Portland Cement #114q is required by the ASTM standard for calibration.
The Semi-automatic Blaine Apparatus provides more accuracy and precision than provided by the manual Blaine Apparatus. Calibration of this unit is done using a cement sample reference, such as NIST 114q. To obtain the most accurate results, the test should be performed in a temperature controlled environment. Unit inlcudes: the unit with an electric pump and time registration; filter papers ( 12.8mm, 1000pk; fill oil (50ml); Plug; thermometer; brush and funnel.
Humboldt also carries a selection of automated Blaine apparatus. The PC-controlled, electronic Blaine Apparatus, Dyckerhoff system provides a fully automatic test procedure and evaluation, complete with software, for one cell. Once the test material is set inside the chambers, the test procedure is able to measure the values for the user. This device provides quick test preparation, which does not require the operator to determine the weighed quantity, as precise as he would for the standard procedure. After test preparation, the device can perform the test in full automation, recording all information without need of supervision Measuring cell dia. is 41 mm (1.6"). Volume of measuring cell is approximately ca. 75 cm3. Comes complete with digital indicator, fill oil, syringe with tube, tamper, round, 41mm filter paper (500pcs) and 13mm dust filters (10pcs).
Humboldt provides a wide selection of cement and mortar testing equipment. If you have questions or need help selecting equipment, please call us at 1.800.544.7220 or use our Quick Response form.


With an election just around the corner, it's time for the economic illiterates within Labor and the Greens to promise rainbows and unicorns to "save the planet".
Labor's latest uncosted and unfunded fart-bubble is to demand that, by 2030, 50% of all new vehicles sold must be electric. Because clearly we can power all those electric cars from wind and solar, right? How can they be so dumb?
The good thing about this policy is that it is so ludicrous, so ridiculous and so unachievable, that many of the rusted-on Labor voters might see through it and be instantly red-pilled. In fact, it may have just lost Labor the next election!
One of the unfortunate consequences of rising early is the extended interview slot on ABC News Radio, broadcast at about 5.45 am. Frequently this will be a lengthy regurgitation of a Lateline interview from the night before, and this morning's was no exception.
This morning we were greeted by an almost unbelievable cosy fireside chat between David Lipson and Labor climate spokesperson Mark Butler, who proceeded to spout the most egregious climate nonsense, unchallenged at every step by the interviewer.
The South Australian miracle battery, for example, was made to sound like a cure for all the state's energy ills, despite the fact that it is a band-aid solution to a problem that should never have arisen. Proper use of gas and clean coal generation will be essential until renewables and other forms of generation are economical, but South Australia's ideological crusade (which has turned the state into the world's electricity crash test dummy, as I read somewhere) has meant that the lights will continue to go out during periods of high demand, with or without Elon Musk's Duracell.
Butler then proceeded to lecture us on how Australia's emissions of "carbon pollution" (actually harmless CO2 gas, nothing to do with elemental carbon, and not pollution either) had risen by 1.4%. That's 1.4% of the less than 2% of the contribution that Australia makes to global emissions, or just under three-hundredths of one percent – as if that was going to have any effect on the climate.
Lipson let all this through without challenge, including Butler's heavily implied link between Australia's actions and the 'survival' of the Great Barrier Reef. All complete nonsense, of course, since China and India cannot build coal-fired power stations fast enough, and their increasing emissions will obliterate any token reductions by Australia.
Suffice it to say, after all that I needed a cup of tea to calm down. You can watch/read the whole thing here.
Long before the term fake news was even thought of, the activists at the Climate Institute, headed up by John Connor, were pushing it by the barrowload.
Australians overwhelmingly want our country's energy system to be powered by renewables because they see it as the "economically smart" thing for Australia's future, The Climate Institute's Climate of the Nation 2017 report has found.
This is the reality of efforts to alter the climate of the planet: huge expense for almost no result.
Bjorn Lomborg's 2016 paper on the impact of current climate proposals (full text here) reveals that the trillions of dollars that the world is spending on climate change mitigation will result in a tiny fraction of a degree difference in the global temperature by the end of the century.
A tiny fraction of a degree that will be swamped by natural variation anyway.
This must be the worst value for money ever – in the history of the planet.
President Donald Trump's withdrawal of the US from the Paris climate agreement leaves his country without a global warming policy. That is alarming. But the world's response — to double down on the pact in opposition to Trump — should also cause concern. There have been two conflicting responses to Trump's decision — often heard from the very same person.
Who cares that fewer and fewer people in Australia can afford this most basic necessity? At least we're saving the planet, right?
Actually no, since nothing Australia does makes any difference to the global climate. It just appeases the idiotic Green/Left activists, while India and China burn cheap coal to their hearts' content.
About three-quarters of households and businesses on the east coast and South Australia face substantial increases in power bills from next month, after Origin Energy announced price rises for electricity and gas.
Origin, the biggest of the three major generators and retailers, confirmed the pressure on wholesale prices from a historic lack of investment in new baseload generation capacity. AGL Energy and EnergyAustralia also announced price rises in recent days.
NSW, which came close to blackouts amid soaring temperatures in February, faces the steepest percentage increases for power, with business bills set to rise 18 per cent, or an average $748 a year, while households will pay about $282 more, up 16.1 per cent.
But South Australians, who faced blackouts from September and who already pay most for power, will face the biggest dollar increases. Businesses are set to pay an average $920, or 15.3 per cent, more, while households will pay $313, or 15.9 per cent more.


Legacy donation: The start to this year was marked by a very generous (and our first) Legacy Donation, through the will of a deceased family relative of one of our members. This amounted to £2,000 for which we are extremely grateful, these funds were used to finance the construction of 2 wells for needy communities.
Rotary Global Grant - Most of this year was devoted to pursing our Rotary Global grant application and responding to the various enquiries posed by The Rotary Foundation.
Two more wells funded! - During the course of the year we received pledges for the construction of 2 further wells.
AGM - please download the annual report for full details of last years events.
September 2017 - The trustees authourised the construction of 4 wells using the funds donated during the course of this year.
October 2017 - Rotary district 1145 conference in Bournemouth, this was again a busy conference for us, with many clubs showing support and enthusiasm for our cause. We welcome the opportunity to visit them in order to make formal presentations.
October 2017 - 4 wells completed and inaugurated. KKm were delighted to advise us that the 4 recently commissioned wells had been completed and these were visited and inaugurated by 2 of our team members. As usual the construction quality was impeccable and it was clearly obvious that they brought relief to needy communities.
November 2017 - Success! - The Rotary Global Grant has been officially approved, taking the total funds available to USD $56,166. We hope to finance construction of at least 35 wells with these monies and thank our partners RC Whitburn and RC Colombo for their enduring support. Especial mention and thanks should be given to Rotarian and Past District Governor Alistair Marquis (RC Whitburn), Rotarians Tajammul Abidally and Thirunavukarasu Someswaran (both RC Colombo) for their enduring support, advice and patience throughout this process. We will ensure the complete success of this project and are planning the next!

Laser microphones, and long distance listening becomes reality
novembre 1, 2010 Technology No Commenti
When a group of dangerous criminals, or a mafia "cupola", meets in secret to make decisions on their illegal business, they usually take a number of precautions to ensure that the police can not catch them.
In such situations, any operation of wiretapping of phone lines or planting of bugs is almost impossible, unless the lives of agents are put in grave danger, also risking the failure of the entire chase.
Therefore, to gather intelligence, the police may use tools to listen to conversations from a distance, in order to gather the information in the safest possible way. For example, this is the case with laser microphones, which give their users the opportunity to capture the conversations that take place inside a closed room, thanks to the use of a laser beam.
The laser, appropriately pointed at the window glass, in fact, is able to read the small vibrations of the glass caused by sounds, noises and voices inside the room. By pointing the beam on the glass at the correct angle, and retrieving the reflected beam with a receiver, you can read these vibrations, and turn them into sound and voice, enabling you to successfully carry out a remote listening operation without running any risk.
In fact, the laser microphone is able to secretly pick up conversations at a maximum distance of approximately a mile, allowing the monitoring agents to work without excessive stress, and to quickly take shelter in case something goes wrong.
Not only for law enforcement, but also for private detectives who are following a case of industrial espionage or marital infidelity, the laser microphones can prove very useful; if you wish to learn more about them, you can visit the Endoacustica website.
BlackBerry, ban in India has been lifted
It seems that a happy ending has finally come, for the long story which went on between RIM, manufacturer of BlackBerry phones, and a number of Asian governments that would like to impose stricter measures on use of the RIM platform, in order to ensure themselves the right to listen to phone calls in case of threat to the national security.
Specifically, in India the government has officially confirmed that the negotiations with RIM have led to an agreement under which the BlackBerry Messenger services will continue, and the government can legally intercept the relevant content.
In addition, RIM has promised to find a permanent solution by January 31, 2011, in order to provide Indian government agencies with a continuous access to their encrypted data. The details of the agreement were not disclosed, but surely it is a significant step forward since the beginning of the story, when the Indian government had threatened to close all BlackBerry services at the end of last August.
As that date came closer, the government had instead granted an extension of 60 days to find a solution and this solution seems to have been finally found, as testified by today's announcement, which follows a similar compromise that RIM had found with the Government of the United Arab Emirates, another one of the countries (along with Indonesia and Saudi Arabia) which had requested access to encrypted data on the BlackBerry platform.
Indeed, the services provided by RIM in the UAE have now been declared legal and compliant with the rules in force in that country. RIM also stated that they are following a similar approach to continue to operate in those countries, respecting local laws and regulations compatibly with its characteristics and principles.

Carl Sagan on Mindfulness & Gratitude
Carl Sagan, the preeminent scientist behind the landmark PBS Cosmos series that aired in 1980, was interviewed by Charlie Rose a few months before his death in 1996. I watched it on YouTube over the weekend. It was his last TV interview.
Sagan died of complications from myelodysplasia. He was promoting his latest book, The Demon-Haunted World but reflected on many topics, some eerily relevant now in what feels like a post-science era. I encourage folks to watch the full 20-minute interview posted below at the end.
The last seconds of the interview caught my attention especially. Sagan was reporting exactly what I wrote here last week when I announced my cancer diagnosis. I wrote that serious or life-threatening illness can be a gateway to awakening. It can silence the noise in our head and bring us into the present moment with a clarity and appreciation we have seldom experienced. Confronted with his illness and uncertain future, Sagan reported experiencing exactly this.
Although he had been an astute observer by profession his whole life, Sagan now found himself observing life and things with an attention and appreciation he'd never known. Here's the clip:
As I wrote last week, we don't have to wait for serious or life-threatening illness to become awake to the present moment, but it does certainly provide a motivation for doing so.
Words of Appreciation for Life
Raphael Block is a poet who lost his wife to cancer in 2002 and now finds himself facing cancer as well. His poetry captures the beauty of the natural world in all its splendor. Block started composing his verses after his wife's death. He strives to live every day to the fullest and relishes when he can draw inspiration from the outdoors.
It Doesn't Have to Pass
There's nothing new or novel in all this, except perhaps that mindfulness, presence and gratitude are getting more attention these days. This a good thing!
The Mary Tyler Moore Show featured an episode in which news anchor Ted Baxter suffers a heart attack and, in his typically-hysterical style, becomes obnoxiously present and grateful. Still, it rubs off on the others who find themselves also present and grateful — and sad when they feel it slipping away again.
But it can last. I'll have more in future posts. For now, this is a scene where Ted reverted back to "normal" while the others try to stay in the moment and savor a sunset.

Microsoft will patch Mac Word to comply with court order
Microsoft pulls Office from own online store
Court rejects Microsoft appeal, bans Word sales
Microsoft yanks Custom XML from Word, offers patch to OEMs
Retailers still selling Word with custom XML
Microsoft says that's allowed; i4i could counter with contempt claim
By Gregg Keizer
Senior Reporter, Computerworld |
Microsoft today said that retailers can continue to sell unmodified versions of Word 2007, even though a court order that required the company to remove custom XML technology from the software took effect Monday.
"Retailers who had already purchased their inventory from Microsoft are permitted to continue selling those copies," said Microsoft spokesman Kevin Kutz today in an e-mail reply to questions after Computerworld noticed online sellers such as Amazon.com selling boxed copies Office 2007 this week.
Microsoft was barred from selling Word 2003 and Word 2007 after a Texas federal jury last May said it illegally used custom XML technology owned by Canadian developer i4i. The judge who oversaw the patent infringement lawsuit awarded i4i nearly $300 million in damages and court costs, and in August slapped an injunction on Microsoft.
According to that injunction, which was affirmed by an appeals court last month, Microsoft is barred from "selling, offering to sell and/or importing in or into the United States any Infringing and Future Word Products that have the capability of opening a .XML, .DOCX, or .DOCM file ('an XML file') containing custom XML."
For its part, Microsoft moved before Monday to comply with the court order by pulling all versions of Office 2007 for Windows and Office 2008 for Mac from its own online store. Since then, Microsoft has restored to the store download copies of many of its Office editions. But it has not yet begun selling boxed copies, which are to be replaced with ones that have had the offending technology removed.
"The packaged version of this product is temporarily out of stock causing a shipping delay," the Microsoft store states on the page for Office Home and Student 2007. "Alternatively, this product is currently available for download."
Loudon Owen, the chairman of i4i, declined to claim that the continued sales of unchanged copies of Word are a violation of the injunction, but he clearly was concerned. "In terms of the actual compliance, we're doing our analysis right now," he said. "We're looking at what Microsoft is doing, not only with the product, but the full scope of the injunction."
The injunction also prevents Microsoft from using the custom XML technology internally, marketing Word as capable of opening documents with custom XML, or providing support to anyone who bought the software after Jan. 10.
"The injunction is pretty clear," said Owen. "It prevents Microsoft from 'selling, offering to sell, and importing Word into the U.S.," he continued. "That's pretty broad, but we're not in a position to judge compliance based on press releases from Microsoft."
i4i would have several options if it did decide that Microsoft wasn't complying with the injunction, Owen said, ticking off a legal move that would ask the court to place Microsoft in contempt, and one that was more direct. "It's not unthinkable that we would speak with Microsoft," he said. "But we just don't know. This is the first time that we have sued anybody like this."
Microsoft is not planning on updating unmodified copies purchased after Jan. 10, perhaps by identifying these instances of Word 2007 when users activate the suite. "There is no plan to push out an automatic update for those copies," Kutz said.
Gray Knowlton, who leads the product management team for Office developers, said the same thing in a post to his personal blog Monday. "The patch will not be made available from Microsoft Update or Office Update, and will not be 'pushed' to any user's machine by Microsoft services," said Knowlton.
He was referring to an update that Microsoft posted to its download site last week that removes i4i's technology from Word 2007. Last Sunday, Microsoft published a similar update for Word 2003, which was also named in the injunction, because customers can "downgrade" their licenses for Word 2007 to the older edition if they wish.
According to Microsoft, it is updating Word 2003, Word 2007, Office 2003 Professional, all editions of Office 2007, all editions of Office 2008 for Mac and Word 2008 for Mac. Contrary to what Computerworld earlier reported, Microsoft will not update Office 2004 for Mac or Word 2004 for Mac. "Office for Mac products were not accused of infringement," said a Microsoft spokesman today, "[but] we are changing the product to allay any potential concerns about compliance with the injunction."
Microsoft has asked the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to grant a rehearing before the three-judge panel, or to consider an en banc hearing before all the judges of the court.
"That was predictable," said i4i's Owen. "It didn't surprise us at all. And we'll do whatever we have to do to continue this."
Owen said he expected that Microsoft would petition the Supreme Court if the company is denied a rehearing or en banc hearing by the appeals court.

Avengers Endgame: The End of an Era
The end of a Marvel Cinematic Universe generation leaves fans everywhere shocked and curious for what's to come. Endgame appeared in theaters on April 26, 2019.
Makayla Bryant, Entertainment Editor
The tragic course of events set in motion by Thanos (Josh Brolin), wiped out half of the universe and fractured the remaining Avengers. The Avengers, now broken and disheartened, come together five years later in an attempt to time travel to the past and stop Thanos from ever getting the six infinity stones. Once Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) discovers a way to time travel and rejoins the remaining Avengers: Captain America (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), Nebula (Karen Gillan), Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper), and War Machine (Don Cheadle), they embark on a journey to reclaim the infinity stones before Thanos does. But things don't end up the way they plan, leaving the Avengers to time jump multiple more times before they obtain the stones. Thanos soon learns of their mission and takes drastic measures to prevent the Avengers from ever stopping him in the first place. With what's left of the world's mightiest heroes, they do whatever it takes to gain the world they once knew back. Will the Avengers defeat Thanos and bring back the rest of the superheros? Or will Thanos win, ending the Avengers as we know them?
Earning a global total of $2.5 billion, Avengers Endgame smashed box office records and became the second highest grossing movie of all time. It wraps up the current Marvel movies, delivering an epic and over-the-top superhero adventure while honoring the past MCU films and characters. Endgame, not only honoring the past, also has grown to include new superheros from all across the universe, bringing them back for a heroic, final battle against Thanos. Avengers Endgame is the end of generation three, leaving fans to wonder what will come next.

Marie Augustine Anne Tayau (12 June 1855 – August 1892) was a French violinist and violin teacher.

Life and career
Marie Tayau was born to music teachers Henri Tayau and Adélina-Eulalie-Aude (née Mettez) and grew up in La Rochelle. As a child, she studied with Jean-Delphin Alard at the Conservatoire de Paris. From 1866, she performed in Parisian salons and concert halls, delighting audiences with her virtuoso playing.

Tayau performed regularly at the Société Nationale de Musique. In December 1876, she premiered Benjamin Godard's Concerto Romantique. The Revue et gazette musicale wrote: "Mademoiselle Tayau's performance was perfect; accuracy, style, beauty and power of sound, she combined everything." A few weeks later, she premiered Gabriel Fauré's Violin Sonata No. 1. Fauré wrote: "I will never be able to express adequately how she made my sonata her own, how she put her heart and spirit into playing it. [...] Mademoiselle Tayau's interpretation was perfect."

In 1879, the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung called her the most brilliant female violinist after Wilma Neruda: "Her playing is as remarkable for its elegance as for its purity, and in addition she possesses a quite exceptional musical temperament. No one executes and comprehends the music of the great masters better than her." After she gave the Paris premiere of Anton Rubinstein's Violin Concerto, the Revue et gazette musicale wrote: "Mademoiselle Tayau gave an admirable interpretation of this work; one could not wish for a more reliable playing, a more sympathetic sound, a more elevated style. It seems to us that Miss Tayau has even won in terms of charm and delicacy." In 1881, she was named officier of the Académie des Beaux-Arts.

In 1876, Tayau founded the all-female "Quatuor Sainte-Cécile" string quartet, and the chamber music association "L'Art moderne". The founding of a women's quartet was noted in the international press, the Revue et Gazette musicale calling it a step to equality for female musicians: "A female string quartet! Twenty years ago this would have been a laughing matter; today it at most arouses curiosity, even interest. The number of young girls studying the violin and the cello is steadily increasing. [...] The newcomers, however, do not linger on trifles, and they pose first of all as serious artists."

In 1886, Tchaikovsky visited Tayau at her house in Paris. She hoped to give the Paris premiere of his Violin Concerto, and Tchaikovsky gave her his word, later even writing in a letter that he was indebted to her: "Was it not you after all who was the first to try to propagate my music in Paris?" Nonetheless, Tchaikovsky privately found that Martin Pierre Marsick was a more suitable soloist than Tayau. Understanding that this would hurt her deeply, he asked his French publisher to make it seem like that it was he who made the decision.

From the mid-1880s, Tayau taught violin at the École Normale de Musique de Paris. Near the end of her life, she ceased performing publicly and devoted herself to teaching.

Tayau died in Paris in late August 1892 at the age of 37. Her obituary in Le Ménestrel read: "A very talented violinist, Mademoiselle Marie Tayau, died this week. Since her extreme youth, she had shown remarkable artistic dispositions. She was in her time a child prodigy. Her time at the Conservatory was very brilliant; she won the first awards with an indisputable superiority. From then on, she was heard in concerts, especially when it came to helping unfortunate artists. As one of the most distinguished teachers, in the last five years she had almost given up playing in public in order to devote herself more completely to her lessons. Mademoiselle Marie Tayau will be greatly missed, for this distinguished artist was a woman with an excellent heart."

I spent nearly two years regularly visiting the harbour village of Kalk Bay on the peninsular of the Cape of Good Hope and which sits comfortably in the northern nook of False Bay (Die Blou Dam). Many of my images were originally made with digital media and in colour and the results were initially very satisfying. For this reason, and for the pleasure of the fishing people of Kalk Bay, I produced a small book with many of these pictures; "Fishermen – Kalk Bay". This is available at Kalky's on the harbour and at the KB Modern in a very limited edition.

Nottingham Forest caused the biggest shock of the round as they knocked out holders Arsenal, and they've been rewarded with a tie against Hull City.
In other fixtures, Newport, who beat Leeds, will now face Spurs, whilst Shrewsbury held West Ham to a goalless draw and so will get a replay at the London Stadium.

Taking the Lead
Keith Loria
George J. Hruza, MD, has always been surrounded by the medical field. His mother was a pediatrician, who later became a psychiatrist. His father was a gerontology researcher and pathologist. His sister is a radiologist; her husband is a rheumatologist. So it's no surprise that Dr. Hruza, founder of the Laser & Dermatologic Surgery Center in Chesterfield, Missouri, also sought a career in medicine. "It seemed like a profession that would allow me to make a tangible difference for the better in someone's life," he says.
But dermatology wasn't his original choice, the Queens, New York, native admits. His goal upon entering medical school at New York University was to become a cardiologist.
"I was examining patients and listening to their hearts, but I wasn't able to hear the S3 and S4 sounds that everyone else seemed to be hearing," he says. "Clearly, my hearing skills were not quite there—but I am a very visual person and dermatology is a visual specialty. When I worked in dermatology for the first time, I had the same feeling as when I chose medical school—I knew I could make a difference."
At the time, medical lasers were in their infancy, and Dr. Hruza gravitated toward these new tools. He got a position at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General, where he worked with R. Rox Anderson, MD, and John Parrish, MD.
"They had lasers that could target almost anything in the skin, and we were in the lab working on some of the earliest devices—Q-switched ruby, CO2, erbium and the excimer. It was fascinating," says Dr. Hruza. "I may have been the first or second person to be a laser fellow there."
He next did a Mohs surgery fellowship at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with Fred Mohs, MD, Stephen Snow, MD, and Paul Larson, MD, after which he was recruited to join the faculty at Washington University in St. Louis, where he spent 11 years teaching dermatologic surgery.
"Not only was I dealing with different types of patients and procedures—the university had some challenging cases—but I had residents and fellows with me for ongoing back-and-forth teaching," he says. "They kept me on my toes. It was very rewarding and interesting."
An Interest in Business Management
About nine years into his academic career, Dr. Hruza enrolled in an MBA program to hone his business skills in anticipation of opening his own private practice. In 1999 he opened the Laser & Dermatologic Surgery Center.
"The academic world was sometimes confining. If we wanted to change how we operated or add a new laser, especially in the aesthetics arena, it was difficult," he says. "But when I went into private practice, I continued my fellowship program, which kept me in academics so I could support my inquisitive nature and still be my own boss."
His practice was profitable early on thanks to the many patients who followed him from the university system. "It started off great right away," he says. "The majority of our practice growth has been through word-of-mouth."
Based on the positive support from his existing patients, Dr. Hruza instilled in his staff the need to provide an optimal patient experience. "We make sure that when patients come in, we see them on time. We offer extended hours and always have adequate staff," he says.
Marketing Savvy
Today, the Laser & Dermatologic Surgery Center has 15 staff members, several of whom have been with Dr. Hruza for more than a decade. "We have nine staff members on the clinical side of things, and the others are in the front office," he says. "On the clinical side, we have a range of people from the medical assistant level to nurses, and we have a physician assistant and a nurse practitioner."
The facility, which Dr. Hruza built and helped design, is modern, minimalistic and elegant, with a large lobby, quartz flooring and a glass wall leading to the waiting room. "It's very open and inviting," he says. "I have Art-Deco posters and a gorgeous silk Persian rug on the wall."
Dr. Hruza hangs his professional accomplishments on one wall of his waiting room, and a bulletin board displays recent news stories in which he has been featured. "Patients enjoy that," he says. "I think it helps connect them to me, and it puts them more at ease. It is important to market yourself and your practice as providing top-quality personalized care. It's far more useful than marketing the latest device or procedure."
He also maintains a strong online presence. "Physician reviews have become especially important in the last few years," he says. "But unhappy patients are much more likely to post a review than happy ones. Due to HIPAA regulations, we can't respond with specifics to complaints, so we need to make sure that our happy patients are represented and overwhelm the rare negative review. That's why we encourage all patients to post online reviews."
Dr. Hruza has found that the no-show rate from the Internet is about 50%, which has reinforced his belief that cultivating positive relationships with existing patients is the lifeblood of private practice. To ensure he and his staff are living up to their goal of providing an optimal patient experience, all patients are given a survey when they leave the office.
"The staff is a huge part of our success. I hear all the time from patients how wonderfully they were treated," says Dr. Hruza. "My goal as a physician and practice leader is for my employees to know that I am genuinely interested in understanding and helping them achieve their goals. I want my patients to know that once I am in the exam room, I am 100% focused on their concerns and care."
A Leading Role in Dermatology
In addition to treating patients and managing his practice, Dr. Hruza is the president-elect of the American Academy of Dermatology and has held leadership positions in several professional organizations. He is a former president of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery, the St. Louis Metropolitan Medical Society and the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery. He has also lectured on lasers and dermatologic surgery on four continents, written four textbooks on laser surgery and authored more than 150 scientific articles.
His varied roles as physician, practice owner and medical society officer have also pushed him to get more involved in government legislation. While he feels that some regulations have had a positive impact on patient safety, he feels other efforts are unnecessary and make things much more difficult for providers and patients.
"I am going to Washington, D.C. three times a year fighting for these types of issues because I want to preserve and strengthen the doctor-patient relationship and try to keep government interference at bay," he says.
Dr. Hruza's immersion in all aspects of dermatology reduces the amount of time he can spend with patients, he admits. "But I see it as an opportunity to give back and to help dermatology be a continuing, thriving specialty," he says. "Dermatology has been very good to me and my family, and I have been very happy and fulfilled in my career."

"sweet". "spicy". "smokin'". Big reaction with the dozen plus males who attended...and ripped off their tops to put on the "Sausage Fest 2009 " teeshirts with a pig and TBXC (Trumansburg Cross Country) designation. The group played Kubb. They listened to loud music from Lady Gaga ( and danced and sang...which we as parents did not witness as it would strike us to stone). There were way in excess of 30 sausages on buns consumed. I put a huge pepperoni on the table as their "flower arrangement" which according to the Kitty report, was used as a prop ==grecian red figure vases as a reference for the play acting relative to a phallus... pretty funny, pretty comic, pretty obscene. Salad and an entire box of 30 ice cream sandwiches were consumed. 2 Boxes of brownies, two jugs of Arnold Palmer Half and Half. 4 bottles of seltzer and a box of lemonade. They played Kubb and jumped with our two pogo sticks. The boys all played Twister. They played Alex's electric guitar. They wore mustaches? It was all fun.

Somali man beats life sentence for migrant smuggling: Greece
LESBOS, GREECE (AP) – An appeals court in Greece has ordered the release of a Somali migrant who had been sentenced to life in prison for people smuggling.
Mohammad Hanad Abdi was sentenced to 142 years in prison in 2021 after being convicted following a deadly crossing in a dinghy from Turkiye to the nearby Greek island of Lesbos the previous year.
At an appeal on Monday on the Greek island of Lesbos, his sentence was reduced to eight years and an appeals court judge ordered his release, recognising time served and good behaviour
The trial was attended by several members of the European Parliament who had argued that Abdi, a 29-year-old father of four, had been wrongfully convicted. "We are all in tears with relief.
It was a very difficult day. The state prosecutor took a tough line and wanted to uphold the sentence," European Union (EU) lawmaker Stelios Kouloglou, who led the campaign and attended the trial, told The Associated Press.
Abdi told the court he had only steered the dinghy after it had been abandoned by a Turkish smuggler during the 2020 crossing to Lesbos from the nearby Turkish mainland.
Two people drowned when the vessel took on water while 33 others were rescued.

Police: Knife used in deadly attack targeting Idaho students | National
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Four University of Idaho students found dead in an off-campus home were targeted, and the killer or killers used a knife or other "edged weapon" in the attack, police said Tuesday.
The Moscow Police Department made the announcement in a news release, adding that investigators were working to establish a timeline to recreate the victims' activities before they were found dead Sunday. Police said the killings likely occurred in the early morning hours, and the bodies were found around noon.
The students' deaths were considered to be "an isolated, targeted attack and there is no imminent threat to the community at large," according to police, who earlier said evidence from the scene led them to believe there was no broader risk. Police provided no information about that evidence or why they believe the victims were targeted.
Autopsies expected to be completed later this week could provide more information about how the victims were killed.
Investigators were "following all leads and identifying persons of interest" in the case, the news release said. Monday night, police Captain Anthony Dahlinger told the Idaho Statesman that officers were searching for a suspect.
Police discovered the students' bodies Sunday as they responded to a report of an unconscious person at a home steps away from the campus. The victims were identified as Ethan Chapin, a 20-year-old from Conway, Washington; Madison Mogen, a 21-year-old from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; Xana Kernodle, 20, from Avondale, Arizona; and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, from Rathdrum, Idaho.
The university canceled classes on Monday, and said additional security staffers were available to walk students across campus if needed during the remainder of the week.
Still, the initial lack of information about the cause of the deaths — and the fact that police have said there is no one in custody — prompted many students to leave campus early, days before the Thanksgiving break was scheduled to begin.
A vigil for the slain students originally scheduled for Wednesday evening has been postponed until after Thanksgiving break, University of Idaho spokesman Kyle Pfannenstiel said in an email Tuesday.
In an earlier memo, University of Idaho President Scott Green urged university employees to be empathetic and flexible, and work with students who decided to leave classes to spend time with their families.
"Words cannot adequately describe the light these students brought to this world or ease the depth of suffering we feel at their passing under these tragic circumstances," Green wrote of the slain students.
Police said anyone with information should contact the department and asked that people respect the privacy of the victims' family and friends.
Brian Nickerson, the fire chief of the Moscow Volunteer Fire and EMS Department, said police were the first to arrive at the home. The first responders from the fire and EMS department didn't go inside or transport anyone from the scene, Nickerson said.
The city of Moscow is a close-knit college town nestled in the rolling hills of north-central Idaho, about 80 miles (130 kilometers) southeast of Spokane, Washington.
The university said Chapin was a freshman and a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity, and Kernodle was a junior majoring in marketing and a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. Mogen was a senior also majoring in marketing and a member of Pi Beta Phi, and Goncalves was a senior majoring in general studies and a member of the Alpha Phi sorority, the university said. The university also had different home town listed for Chapin and Kernodle than the towns listed in the Moscow Police Department release: The school said Chapin was from Mount Vernon, Washington, and Kernodle was from Post Falls, Idaho.
Shortly after Moscow police announced the homicide investigation, students at the University of Virginia were also told to shelter in place after police said a suspect gunned down fellow students on a bus as they returned from a school field trip. The shooting left three members of the school's football team dead and two other students injured. The shooting touched off an intense manhunt Sunday, and authorities announced Monday that a suspect, Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., had been apprehended.
AP researcher Jennifer Farrar in New York and AP reporter John Antczak in Los Angeles contributed to this report.

CGS Joins Amicus Brief to Uphold DACA (10/04/19)
On October 4, CGS joined an amicus brief submitted by 43 other higher education associations. The brief, which was led by the American Council on Education (ACE), was submitted to the Supreme Court urging that the justices uphold the legality of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The court will hear oral arguments on November 12 related to a set of three court cases challenging the Trump Administration's decision to end DACA, first announced in September 2017. The amicus brief expresses support for the courts' decision to currently keep DACA in place, highlighting how rescinding the policy would be extremely detrimental for Dreamers, their peers, institutions of higher education, and the nation writ large. For additional information, read ACE's summary here.

CGS Joins Amicus Brief on Travel Ban (3/29/2018)
CGS joined 32 other higher education associations in submitting an amicus brief on March 29 to the Supreme Court on a case examining the president's third ban on several majority-Muslim countries. The administration issued the third version of its travel ban in September 2017, which places restrictions of varying degrees on entry to the United States from Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Chad, North Korea, and Venezuela. The brief highlights the ban's potential impacts on U.S. college and universities.
CGS Joins Higher Education Community Amicus Brief on Travel Ban (9/19/2017)
On September 19, CGS along with 29 other higher education associations submitted an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court regarding President Trump's second executive order which banned refugees and immigrants from several majority-Muslim countries. The brief focuses on the importance of maintaining a welcoming perception to international students and scholars. It highlighted the risks of deterring them from studying, teaching and researching in the United States. Further, it argues that the travel ban has already harmed America's reputation in the global education market.

Scandal House
Scandal. noun. "a circumstance or action that offends propriety or established moral conceptions or disgraces those associated with it."
Willie's World (1871-1878)
Posted on October 24, 2020 by Scandal House
The Judge's only son, William Fullerton, Jr., had a brief, but shining moment in the footlights as an expatriate composer of romantic songs and light opera, in the height-of-empire 1880's London. They are clearly a study in contrasts: aggressively male father and sensitive, musical son. But both were well-known players at unique historical moments on opposite sides of the Atlantic. And perhaps if there had been a better accommodation between them, neither would have been so thoroughly forgotten later.

There are only scattered Willie footprints from his youthful New York years, but these provide a glimpse into gilded age NYC as well as the origins of the 'Broadway' Theatre District. Intentionally or otherwise, Willie left a roadmap to his personal relationships and ambitions on the front covers of published sheet music.

(as described in Rudolph Aronson's, "Theatrical and Musical Memoirs")
The earliest surviving piece, Silver Strains, is a waltz published in 1871. He was 17 and still living in Newburgh. The dedication reads simply: "To My Parents." In 1865, Willie's father had described in unmistakable terms a rigid, if idealized, view of a mother's role:
"Silver Strains," Wm. Fullerton Jr., 1871, Library of Congress
While the husband is battling with the sterner duties of life, she remains at home to form the infant character…She is not only to guide the tottering footsteps, she is to guide the immortal mind. Her husband may go out into the world to win its wealth and honors, but she has a far higher sphere in which to act.
William S. Fullerton, Closing Statement, Millspaugh v. Adams.
Compared to the public lives of her husband and son, Cornelia Augusta Fullerton (like most women of her era) is both silent and invisible. But we can safely assume that she nurtured and encouraged Willie's talents, and cannot entirely dismiss the possibility that she took some of the blame for whatever sorrow the old man felt over his only son's choices and ultimate fate.

That Judge Fullerton could be both forceful and intimidating was well known to generations of witnesses and opposing counsel. Willie would pass away in 1888, at 34, consumed by a combination of tuberculosis, financial woes and distress over his inability to stage what was supposed to be his greatest work — the lost operetta "Waldemar: Robber of the Rhine." Shortly after his death, sister Gussie wrote to her own daughter that Willie had once admitted he sometimes lay awake at night and cried when he felt their father was disappointed.
Still, during Willie's boyhood, the busy trial lawyer was usually 60 miles away and mid-century Newburgh was a thriving place, filled with music. Adjacent to the bustling docks, the Water Street business district (utterly demolished during 1970s urban renewal) featured competing dealers who sold musical instruments, along with sheet music that could be brought home to fill evenings with intimate performances of song.
The emerging middle class was buying pianos. Although professional musicians and actors were not considered respectable, any well-bred young lady was expected to play an instrument and entertain friends, family and gentlemen suitors. Up and down the Hudson Valley, there were home-grown composers writing waltzes and military-style marches, and the public calendar was full of orchestral and choral group performances.
But Willie clearly had his sights on bigger things. His next surviving piece, Waltzes Marguerite, was published in 1873. The title as well as the dedication at the top of the cover page — "to Miss Clara Louise Kellogg" – speak volumes.
"Marguerite Waltzes," Wm. Fullerton Jr., 1873, Library of Congress
Kellogg Program, Academy of Music, 1874
Fullerton Jr. 's intended public would have known that 'Marguerite' referred to the leading female role in the opera Faust, by French composer Charles Gounod, and that Clara Louise Kellogg (1842-1916) was a home-grown opera star, an internationally popular prima donna who had been born in South Carolina and raised in New England. In November 1863, 21-year old Kellogg performed the role of Faust's ill-fated love interest in the opera's American debut at New York's Academy of Music. Her Marguerite catapulted the lyrical soprano to stardom, brought crowds to the Academy of Music on 14th Street (demolished in 1926), and helped establish opera's place in New York City, just beginning to emerge as a cultural capital.
Marguerite was an early, signature role, and Kellogg also performed it in her London debut in 1867, at Her Majesty's Theatre. By 1873, Kellogg had moved on to other challenges. In a memoir published 50 years after the first American performance of Faust, the world-weary diva wrote: "Musically, I loved the part of Marguerite—and I still love it. Dramatically, I confess to some impatience over the imbecility of the girl." But 19-year old Willie — a descendent of hardscrabble, revolutionary war era farmers — was paying homage to Kellogg as a reverse pioneer — a 'made-in-the-U.S.A.' songstress who achieved widespread acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, as he himself would set out to do.
Kellogg as "Marguerite", 1865, University of Michigan Library Archives, Gutenberg Project
Kellogg's 1913 memoir also offers a glimpse into an exclusive, private musical world that Judge Fullerton's son must have found enchanting:
In the seventies, New York was interesting musically, chiefly because of its amateurs…at that time, New York had a collection of musical amateurs who were almost as highly cultivated as professionals. It was a set that was extremely interesting and quite unique; and which bridged in a wonderful way the traditional gulf between art and society.
One of these glittering, gilded age amateurs was Mrs. Peter "Fanny" Ronalds, who would have a considerable influence on Willie's career in London. To Kellogg, these talented socialite-singers "combined music and society in a manner worthy of the great French hostesses and originators of salons." And in time, William Fullerton and his life-companion, artist and costume designer Percy Anderson, would host their own bohemian salon in London, where musicians and actors would mingle in an unrestrained atmosphere that would have been shocking back in Newburgh (and possibly in Manhattan as well).

But young Will Fullerton was under pressure to undertake a serious career. Law was something of a family business. His father and two of his uncles were attorneys. Willie's sister married a promising young lawyer who joined Judge Fullerton's law firm (but unfortunately died young), and an older cousin, Captain Stephen Fullerton, had been a promising attorney and politician whose brilliant prospects were cut short when he died from illness contracted in a Civil War army camp.
Plus, there was one more role model in Willie's own generation. One of his father's law partners, Benjamin Dunning, had named his son after Willie's dad. That dutiful son, William Fullerton Dunning, went on to graduate from Columbia Law School and became an outstanding New York practitioner. But Willie steered clear of the well-worn path.

The records of Columbia University's School of Mines (precursor to today's Columbia School of Engineering) show that 20-year old William Fullerton, Jr. enrolled in a preparatory program for the academic year 1874-1875. Willie organized their annual December dance – the height of the year's social calendar for those eligible bachelors. The surviving dance program includes a long list of Waltzes (nearly all predictably by the Waltz King, Johann Strauss II, but there was, of course, a performance of Marguerite Waltzes, by William Fullerton, Jr.

It is difficult to imagine that young Fullerton had in mind a career of designing or operating machinery or transportation networks. But if Newburgh was not widely known for its musical offerings, the opposite was true for its architecture, much of which was in the immediate neighborhood of the Fullerton home. Newburgh's most famous native son, A.J. Downing (1815-1852), is sometimes described as the "father of American landscape architecture." He died two years before Willie was born, but his lost gothic revival mansion, Highland Garden, was still standing a mere block away from the Fullerton family home.
The genesis of the Greensward Plan, which became New York City's Central Park, began when Connecticut gentleman farmer Frederick Law Olmsted met Downing's junior partner, young English architect Calvert Vaux, at the Downing home. Even today, the Grand-Liberty-Montgomery Street corridor is a showcase of 19th American architectural design, where surviving homes and churches reflect the vision of Downing's peers like A.J. Davis and Thornton Niven, as well as Vaux and Downing's other U.K. import, Frederick Clark Withers.

From the Catalogue of the Officers and Students of Columbia College, 1874
It is probably coincidental that Vaux's son, Downing Vaux, as well as Olmsted's nephew and stepson, Owen, attended the Columbia School of Mines at the same time as Willie. But the School of Mines offered many possible career avenues, including architecture, which was folded into their curriculum until the establishment of Columbia's vaunted School of Architecture in 1881.
School of Mines was a tough program – rigorous and rigid. A student could fail a course simply by coming late to class. Young Downing Vaux dropped out and so did Willie.
A year later, in 1876, Willie applied for a passport. Records show that he crossed the Atlantic to Liverpool twice — in 1876 and again in 1878. His concerned father may have followed him abroad (or at least prepared to do so). William Fullerton, Sr. applied for his own passport in 1877.
There is a peculiar discrepancy between American and English versions of Willie's European education. English reviews of Willie's music from the 1880's referred to his studies at Leipzig's renowned Conservatory of Music. But certain biographical sketches of the prominent American lawyer William Fullerton state that his son studied in Heidelberg (a major institution for science and engineering). Perhaps Willie tried Heidelberg, or told his parents he was doing so, in 1876, before undertaking studies in music composition at Leipzig, beginning in 1878.

"On the Silent Sea," Wm. Fullerton Jr., lyrics, Rudolph Aronson, music, 1877, Library of Congress
The next surviving scrap can be found in the sheet music archives of the U.S. Library of Congress: On the Silent Sea (1877), composed by Rudolph Aronson, with lyrics by William Fullerton, Jr. The title evokes the trans-Atlantic steamship passages that were an essential element of the burgeoning cultural exchanges between New York and the Old World, something he and Rudolph would have known well of by 1877. And Silent Sea's dedication — to Mlle. Emma Albani — is a sort of a matching book-end to the 1873 homage to Kellogg.
Kellogg's 1913 memoir traces her own 1867 glimpse of Mlle. (later Dame of the British Empire) Albani (1847-1930), in London. The celebrated diva had gone to check out the rival company at Covent Garden, where the competition included "a pretty, young, new singer from Canada with them…who had a light, sweet voice and was attractive in appearance." Like Kellogg, French-Canadian Albani was a successful North-American cultural export into the demanding European market. The sheet music salutes to these two divas clearly point in the direction of Willie's own hopes.

"Bright Blue Eyes," Wm. Fullerton Jr., lyrics, Rudolph Aronson, music, 1878, Library of Congress
The U.S. Library of Congress has a second Fullerton/Aronson collaboration, Bright Blue Eyes, published in 1878. Rudolph Aronson (1856-1919) was an orchestra leader and composer – aided at the time by the music publishing business of his younger brother, Edward. But by 1878, as 24-year old Willie Fullerton was leaving New York for good, on the ship Abyssinia, Aronson was turning his attention to a different kind of role – raising funds to build the Casino Theater, a lavishly decorated Moorish revival palace at 39th and Broadway. The now-lost Casino Theater became an important home for the production of light opera and musical comedy for nearly fifty years.

There are no other known instances of Willie writing lyrics, and no evidence of a continuing connection between the two men after Willie settled in London, and went on to produce a major work of his own, Lady of the Locket. Curiously, it was not Aronson, but his erstwhile business partner-turned competitor, 'Colonel' John A. McCaull, who would later purchase the American rights to William Fullerton's now-lost operetta Waldemar, and broadcast loudly his intention (never-fulfilled) to bring Willie's work home to his native New York.

Notes on further reading:
Many theatrical figures published memoirs which — with due allowance for the authors' biases, settling of old scores, and the vagaries of memory — provide wonderful period pieces. These include:
Albani, Emma, Forty Years of Song, Toronto, Ontario, The Copp Clark Co., 1911. Aronson, Rudolph, Theatrical and Musical Memoirs, New York, McBride, Nast, and Co., 1913. Kellogg, Clara Louise (Mme. Strakosch), Memoirs of an American Prima Donna, New York and London, G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1913.
For musical theater history, all paths lead to Kurt Ganzl, whose vast output includes Encyclopedia of Musical Theater (Schermer Books, 1994) and the earlier, groundbreaking British Musical Theatre (Oxford University Press, 1986). Without Kurt's writings, as well as his guidance and encouragement, research into lost composer Willie Fullerton would have been next-to-impossible.
As to Newburgh's rich C19 architectural heritage — the definitive book remains to be written.

featuring Frank Langella, Laurence Olivier, Donald Pleasence, Kate Nelligan, Trevor Eve
In the late '70s, Frank Langella starred in the hit Broadway play Dracula, written by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston. Langella's charisma and the surreal, black-and-white sets designed by cartoonist Edward Gorey were the chief outstanding features of the play, which was otherwise undistinguished. While this film production of the play boasts performances by stage veterans Lord Laurence Olivier and Donald Pleasance, as well as Frank Langella as the suavest of counts, it was neither a critical nor a box-office success, doubtlessly because expectations ran too high. One highlight of this production is its skillful use of special effects. The standard story of Bram Stoker's original novel is re-created here: the undead count arranges to move from his home in Transylvania to Whitby, and once there, a reign of terror begins. He is opposed by the canny Doctor Van Helsing (Laurence Olivier), who eventually triumphs. Clarke Fountain, Rovi Read Less
