Great family retreat. Awesome fun for parents and kids alike.
We had the most amazing family holiday at diamond forrest cottages. So much for the kids to do in a safe and well organised environment. The cabins were clean, orderly, well equipped and private. We were really impressed and thank Mark and Kerriann for such a great experience.
Terrific cozy cabins with great pet facilities. Large high-fenced outdoor areas and outdoor undercover areas. Pets are allowed inside also, just not on furniture / carpeted areas.
What a great place to stay with the kids. We have 2 young, just school age kids, who had a blast feeding all the animals each morning, and learning their names to really personalise the experience. To top it off there is a dam that we were able to row a couple of canoes around for a few hours playing pirates. We will definitely be coming back.

Monday's Top Biotech Stories: Mylan, Abbott, Shire, Exelixis, Progenics
Mylan, Abbott, Shire, Exelixis, Progenics are the top health care stocks to follow this Monday morning.
Let's take a quick look at five stocks -- Mylan (NASDAQ:MYL) Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT), Shire (NASDAQ:SHPG), Exelixis (NASDAQ:EXEL), and Progenics (NASDAQ:PGNX) -- which could all loom large in health care headlines this Monday morning.
Mylan acquires Abbott's off-patent portfolio for $5.3 billion
Mylan has just agreed to purchase Abbott Laboratories' non-U.S. specialty and branded generic business for $5.3 billion. The deal will be conducted via an all-stock transaction of 105 million common shares, which represent a 21% stake in Mylan. Shares of Mylan are up nearly 2% following the announcement.
The assets included in the deal include over 100 drugs that generate approximately $1.9 billion in annual sales. The deal will also include a sales force of roughly 2,000 sales representatives in over 40 non-U.S. markets and two manufacturing facilities. Mylan is expected to use the deal to move its tax domicile from the U.S. to Switzerland and lower its corporate tax rate. Mylan expects the deal to immediately become earnings accretive, adding approximately $0.25 per diluted share in the first year. Abbott intends to use the proceeds of the sale to invest in other opportunities.
Mylan's main rivals, Teva Pharmaceutical and Actavis, are respectively domiciled in Israel and Ireland, which both have lower corporate tax rates than the United States. Mylan had previously tried to acquire Swedish drugmaker Meda AB with the same aim earlier this year, but was rejected.
Shire could finally give in to AbbVie's fifth offer
AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) has raised its bid for Shire for a fifth time with a $53.7 billion takeover proposal, which grants Shire shareholders £24.44 in cash and 0.896 shares of new AbbVie shares. The new deal, if accepted, will result in Shire investors owning approximately 25% of the combined company. Shire has stated that it is now willing to recommend the new offer to shareholders.
AbbVie is interested in acquiring Shire for two key reasons -- to move its tax domicile from the U.S. to Ireland, and to diversify its portfolio away from its blockbuster arthritis drug Humira, which generated $10.7 billion in revenue (57% of AbbVie's top line) last year, but will lose patent protection in Europe in 2016 and in the U.S. in 2018.
Shire's portfolio mainly consists of attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) and rare disease drugs. Sales of its top drug, the ADHD drug Vyvanse, rose 19% year-over-year last year to $1.23 billion.
Exelixis soars on positive phase 3 results
Shares of Exelixis are up 12% in pre-market trading this morning on good news about cobimetinib, an investigational MEK inhibitor that it the company is co-developing with Roche's Genentech.
A phase 3 trial testing a combination of cobimetinib and Genentech's BRAF inhibitor Zelboraf met its primary endpoint of helping advanced melanoma patients live significantly longer without their disease worsening (progression-free survival) when compared to Zelboraf alone. Both MEK and BRAF inhibitors block certain proteins along a signaling pathway which regulates cell division and survival. If cobimetinib is approved, analysts at Maxim Group expect it to generate peak sales of $700 million, which would translate to $150 million to $200 million in revenue for Exelixis.
While this is a positive development, investors should remember that Exelixis' most closely watched drug is Cometriq, a drug that the FDA approved to treat metastatic medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) in 2012. Cometriq only generated $15 million in 2013 sales, but if the drug is approved for other indications -- such as prostate, liver, and lung cancers -- Piper Jaffray believes the drug could generate peak sales of $1.7 billion by 2020.
Progenics surges on sNDA label expansion of Relistor
Last but not least, the FDA has just notified Salix Pharmaceuticals that the data submitted for its supplemental new drug application (sNDA) for subcutaneous Relistor to include patients with opioid-induced constipation (OIC) taking opioids for chronic non-cancer pain is sufficient for approval.
Relistor was developed by Progenics, which signed a worldwide licensing agreement with Salix in 2011. The drug was originally approved in 2008 for opioid-induced constipation, and was originally commercialized by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals prior to its acquisition by Pfizer.
Salix will fund the development, registration, and commercialization activities for the drug worldwide except for Japan, where the marketing rights have been licensed to Ono Pharmaceuticals. Salix is obligated to pay Progenics regulatory milestones up to $90 million, sales-based milestones up to $200 million, royalties on product sales in the U.S., and 60% of all revenue from non-U.S. sublicensees. Shares of Progenix are up 12% in pre-market trading following the announcement.

Tullyroan (; ) is a townland lying within the civil parish of Kilcronaghan, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. It lies in the centre of the parish and is bounded by the townlands of: Brackaghlislea, Calmore, Cloughfin, Coolsaragh, Gortahurk, Tamnyaskey. It wasn't apportioned to any of the London livery companies, being kept as church lands.

The townland was part of the Tobermore electoral ward of the former Magherafelt District Council, however in 1926 it was part of Tobermore district electoral division as part of the Maghera division of Magherafelt Rural District. It was also part of the former barony of Loughinsholin.

Etymology
The townland of Tullyroan is derived from the Irish Tulaigh Uí Ruáin meaning "O'Rowan's hill". Tulaigh (or Tulach), which means "hillock/hill" likely refers to Belmount Hill which is in this townland. The second element could be of several different origins such as ruán in the sense of buckwheat, which grew well on small hills, or in the sense of red land or soil, of which Tullyroan contains a considerable amount of heath especially around Belmount Hill. Despite this it is postulated that it in fact derives from the name O'Rowan, a name found in western Ireland, however in the 1663 Hearth Money Rolls, a "Knogher O'Rome" (read as O'Roine) is recorded within this parish.

Belmount Hill in this townland is derived from the French Bel Mont, meaning "beautiful mountain".

History
Along with the townlands of Granny, Mormeal, and Tamnyaskey, Tullyroan comprises the four townlands that make up the Bishop of Derrys lands in the parish. Prior to the Plantation of Ulster, these four townlands constituted the termon (or erenagh) land of the parish, and were known as "Ballintrolla, Derreskerdan, Dirrygrinagh et Kellynahawla". Despite these townlands being in the same location as the later townlands, it is now impossible to match their names accurately.

Feeling love in my heart again, overflowing to You and to my loved ones and everyone. It's a great journey to walk with You. It's worth every effort to live. The riches are incredible. It's appreciating the small things, as well as the big, that really makes life so immense. I was hoping that I would feel this way about life, someday, sometime, and I anticipated it especially when I first met You—and it has arrived. It includes the hardships and the difficulties: they get churned in the mix of this Life with You, this Life where I walk in ever-growing love and respect for myself too. It is that nothing gets lost either, all things that ever happened are raised up to God's glory. Every effort, every mistake, every success purified and cleansed and polished ongoingly by God and by You. I am blessed to have You in my life.

The National Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is a bicameral legislature established under section 4 of the Nigerian Constitution. It consists of a Senate with 109 membersand a 360-memberHouse of Representatives The body, modelled after the federal Congress of the United States, is supposed to guarantee equal representation of the 36 states irrespective of size in the Senate and proportional representation of population in the House. The National Assembly, like many other organs of the Nigerian government, is based in Abuja, in the Federal Capital Territory.
In spite of a more than two-thirds majority control of the Assembly by the then ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP), the PDP government led by Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and the Assembly have been known more for their disagreements than for their cooperation. The Former President Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan has been accused of being slow to implement policy. Many bills, some from as long ago as 2007, are still awaiting the President's assent. While the Assembly has made strong and often popular efforts to assert its authority and independence against the executive, it is still viewed generally in a negative light by the media and many of the Nigerian people. The Assembly sits for a period of at most four years, after which time the President is required to dissolve it and call a new Assembly into session.
The Senate has the unique power to impeach judges and other high officials of the executive including the Federal Auditor-General and the members of the electoral and revenue commissions. This power is, however, subject to prior request by the President. The Senate also confirms the President's nomination of senior diplomats, members of the federal cabinet, federal judicial appointments and independent federal commissions.
Before any bill may become law, it must be agreed to by both the House and the Senate, and receive the President's assent. Should the President delay or refuse assent (veto) the bill, the Assembly may pass the law by two-thirds of both chambers and overrule the veto and the President's consent will not be required. The present Assembly has not hidden its preparedness to overrule the executive where they disagree.
The National Institute for Legislative Studies (NILS) is an organ of the National Assembly established by an Act of Parliament. Former President Goodluck Jonathan signed into law the National Institute for Legislative Studies Act 2011 on 2 March 2011 following the passage of the same by the Senate and the House of Representatives. NILS builds on the successes of the Policy Analysis and Research Project (PARP), established in 2003 as a capacity building institution of the National Assembly with the financial support of the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF). NILS has as its core objectives to provide quality academic and professional research, policy analysis, training, documentation and advocacy on democratic governance and legislative practice and procedures. The functions of NILS are similar to the services offered to the US congress by Congressional Research Service, Congressional Budget Office, Library of Congress only on a lesser scale as the institute was just established.

CCAN's annual conference was held in Long Island, New York on August 20th 2011. The theme of the day long conference was "Multidisciplinary Approach to the Diagnosis Treatment and Monitoring of NETs." Speakers included several local oncolgists, as well as Dr, O'Dorisio from Iowa, Dr. Delpassand from Excel Diagnostics in Houston.and Leigh Anne Burns from Ochsner Kenner's Neuroendocrine Program. It was a full day starting with an introduction to NETs, methods of detection as common ways to treat - with talks throughout the day on interventional radiology, surgery, blood markers, imaging and PRRT. As this writer does at many conference I take notes in real time and make them available to the NET Community and while efforts is takn to take accurate notes – there are certain to be omissions and errors – SO PLEASE talk to your medical professional – do not rely on these notes as a basis for treatment.
Thanks to CCAN there is a NET Awareness Day in NY and other states. NETs are not as rare as one thinks – Throughout the day you will hear about what NETs are, What to Ask and what your treatment options are.


Lxury feat. Deptford Goth - "Square 1"
London's own Lxury is still quite new to the scene, but he has been making some solid impressions since last year. His newest single "Square 1" is just as impressive as his previous work. The Deptford Goth-featured track begins with sounds that could easily hypnotize you. But that short trance ends as soon as the beat fully kicks in with twice the amount of energy.


In 1992, in a historic move, the Church of England voted to allow women's ordination to priesthood and in 1994 the first women priests started to be ordained. Despite much research interest, the experiences of priests who are mothers to dependent children have been minimally investigated. Based on in-depth interviews with seventeen mothers ordained in the Church, this paper will focus on how the sacred-profane boundary is managed. Priests who are mothers have a particular insight into the Church hierarchy as they symbolically straddle the competing discourses of sacred and profane. However, instead of reifying these binaries, the experiences of these women show how such dualisms are challenged and managed in everyday life. Indeed, in terms of experience, ritual, ministry and preaching, priests who are mothers are resisting, recasting and renegotiating sacred terrain in subtle and nuanced ways. Mothers thus not only negotiate the practical and sacramental demands placed on priests, but also illuminate how the sacred domain is regulated and constructed.

"I think I die for you I think I'll lie for you."
Cardi B may have gone and upgraded her smile but don't think she's gone and let fame go to her head because she's still got the same dude. The Love & Hip Hop star posted a photo of her and her boyfriend Tommy on Instagram to remind everyone that she rides hard for those that she loves.
Cardi wrote, "I think I die for you I think I'll lie for you." Could wedding bells be in the couple's near future? You may remember that Cardi admitted that she wanted to marry her man while he was locked up because she cares that much and a big flashy wedding isn't really her style.
Wedding or not, we love seeing Cardi happy with her love.

WOODROW WILSON, "THE PUEBLO SPEECH" (25 SEPTEMBER 1919)
Woodrow Wilson's Pueblo speech ranked 72nd in a survey of the "Top 100 Speeches of the Twentieth Century." Why do you think the speech is regarded as one of the "top 100" of the century? Do you agree that it should be counted among the "great" speeches in U.S. history? Why or why not?
How does Wilson describe the opposition to the League of Nations in his Pueblo speech? Do you get a clear sense from the speech of who opposed the treaty and why they opposed it? Do you think Wilson fairly characterized the opposition? Does he respond seriously to their objections to the treaty? Or does he sidestep those issues or try to cut off debate? Compared to today's politicians, does Wilson engage in a lot of "name-calling" or "mudslinging" in this speech?
As Hogan noted in his essay on the Pueblo speech, Wilson studied the great orators of British and American history and published a number of works on oratory and debate in American politics. How would you describe the ideal "orator-statesman," as envisioned by Wilson? What, by Wilson's own standards, would constitute a "good" or an "eloquent" speech? Do you agree with Hogan thatWilson violated his own ideals in the Pueblo speech? Why or why not?
In his critical essay, Hogan also criticizes Wilson for "waving the bloody shirt" in his Pueblo speech. What is meant by that phrase, "wave the bloody shirt"? And do you agree that Wilson should be criticized for doing that? Is a speaker ever justified in "waving the bloody shirt"?
Do you believe that Wilson's crusade for a League of Nations has been "redeemed" by history? That is, do you think that, despite his defeat, he ultimately proved "right" about the need for collective security and an organization like the League of Nations?
What do scholars mean when they refer to "Wilsonian internationalism"? How would you characterize the principles or philosophy of Wilsonian internationalism, and how does it differ from the practices and traditions of American foreign policy before Wilson arrived on the scene? Is the influence of Wilsonian internationalism still evident today? Who, among today's politicians, would you consider a supporter or an opponent of Wilsonian internationalism?
How did Wilson support his arguments for a League of Nation? That is, what sorts of evidence did he use? Did he invoke any credible sources of testimony? Did he offer any statistics or examples to prove his arguments that the peace settlement was fair or that a League of Nations could help prevent war?
What do historians mean when they describe the debate over the League of Nations as a battle for "public opinion"? What do you think they mean by "public opinion" in an age before scientific polling? Did "public opinion" mean something different then than it means today? In the absence of polls, how did people assess "public opinion" at that time, and how could we possibly know whether Wilson won or lost the battle for public opinion over the League of Nations?
In advocating the League of Nations, Woodrow Wilson suggested that World War I had changed the nature of war, and that the next war might well be the "final war," since modern warfare had become so devastating. Using Internet and library resources, research the military history of WWI and discuss what might have inspired Wilson to say that. Were the military or civilian casualties in World War I really that much higher than the wars that came before it? What sorts of new weaponry or new military tactics made World War I seem unlike previous wars, or especially brutal and devastating?
Investigate whether your college or community library has any of the local papers from the cities Wilson visited on his Western tour in 1919, perhaps on microfilm. Then compare the coverage of the tour in at least two different cities. How thoroughly did the newspapers cover Wilson's actual speech? What sorts of editorial commentary did they offer, and how did they assess Wilson's chances of "winning" the League of Nations debate?
Steven Vaughn's Holding Fast the Inner Lines tells the story of America's official governmental propaganda agency during World War I: the Committee on Public Information (CPI). Using Vaughn's book and whatever other sources you can find, research the CPI and discuss (1) the techniques and media it used to build public support for Wilson's war policies, and (2) the ethical implications of those techniques. Do you agree with some critics that the CPI's techniques were "anti-democratic"? Why or why not?
Another speech from Wilson's Western tour, his speech in Des Moines, Iowa on September 6, 1919, also made the list of the "Top 100 Speeches of the Twentieth Century" compiled by scholars of rhetoric. Find a copy of that speech either online or in Vol. 63 of the Papers of Woodrow Wilson, edited by Arthur S. Link et. al. Compare and contrast Wilson's speeches in Des Moines and Pueblo. What are the major differences that you see between the two speeches? How are they the same? Which do you think is the better speech—and why?
Citizenship Resources
Media coverage of Wilson's Western tour was limited to newspaper accounts, but many of the major newspapers provided full texts of Wilson's speeches on the tour and extensive front-page coverage. How, in your opinion, does that differ from how major presidential addresses are covered by the media today? Identify a major speech on the war in Iraq delivered by President Bush in the last four years, and evaluate the coverage of that speech in one major national newspaper (e.g. the New York Times) and one major Internet news sites (e.g. CNN.com). Do you think that the media today provide better, more complete coverage of major presidential addresses than they did in 1919? What might the media do to improve their coverage of major presidential speeches? Do you think it's more important for the news media to provide (a) extensive quotation or even the full texts of the presidential speech itself, or (b) extensive analysis of the speech by the journalist and expert commentators?
Debate continues today over the value and effectiveness of the United Nations, which most people see as the direct descendent of Wilson's proposed League of Nations. Research the structure and activities of today's United Nations and discuss whether you think it is essentially the same organization that Wilson proposed in 1919. Then answer this question: Has the United Nations lived up to the promise that Wilson talked about on his Western tour? In other words, has the United Nations worked as Wilson envisioned? Has it provided at least some "insurance" against war?


Crewe Alexandra winger Ryan Colclough has agreed a new two-year contract with the League One club.
The 20-year-old Stoke-born winger came through the Alex academy and has played 38 times for the first team, including seven appearances last term.
He originally turned down a new deal at Gresty Road, and appeared for Wolves in a pre-season game at Doncaster.
But Colclough, who has scored five goals in his Crewe career so far, has now agreed to stay with the Alex.

Simplicissimus and the Witches' Dance….
Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen (1621 – August 17, 1676) wrote a very popular "picaresque" novel Simplicius Simplicissimus in 1669. A picaresque is a story following the adventures of a low caste heroic rogue or trickster who uses his wits to survive precarious times among a corrupt society.
Following is an excerpt in which Simplicissimus stumbles upon a witches' dance while robbing a farmer's larder:
Chap. xvii.: HOW SIMPLICISSIMUS WAS PRESENT AT A DANCE OF WITCHES
During these my wanderings there met me once and again in the woods different country-folk, who at all times fled from me. I know not if the cause was that they were by reason of the war turned so timid and were so hunted, and never left in peace in one place, or whether the highwaymen had spread abroad in the land the adventure they had had with me, so that all which saw me thereafter believed the evil one was of a truth prowling about in that part. But for this reason I must needs fear lest my provisions should fail and so I be brought to the uttermost misery; for then must I begin again to eat roots and herbs, to which I was no longer accustomed. As I pondered on this I heard two men cutting of wood, which rejoiced me mightily. So I followed the sound of the blows, and when I came in sight of the men I took a handful of ducats out of my pouch and, creeping nearer to them, shewed them the alluring gold and cried, "My masters, if ye will but wait for me I will give you this handful of gold." But as soon as they saw me and my gold, at once they took to their heels, and left their mallets and wedges together with their bag of bread and cheese; with this I filled my knapsack, and so betook myself back to the wood, doubting if in my life I should ever come to the company of men again. So after long pondering thereupon, I thought, "Who knoweth what may chance to thee? Thou hast money, and if thou comest in safety with it to honest folk, thou canst live on it a long while." So it came into my head to sew it up; and to that end I made, out of my asses' ears which made the folk so fly from me, two armlets, and companying my Hanau ducats with those of the banditti, I packed all together into these armlets and bound them on mine arms above the elbow. And now, as I had thus secured my treasure, I attacked the farms again, and got from them what I needed and what I could snap up. And though I was but simple, yet I was sly enough never to come a second time to a place where I had stolen anything; and therefore was I very lucky in my thefts and was never caught pilfering.
It fell out at the end of May, as I sought to replenish my store by my customary yet forbidden tricks, and to that end had crept into a farmyard, that I found my way into the kitchen, but soon perceived that there were people still awake (and here note that where dogs were I wisely stayed away); so I set the kitchen door, which opened into the yard, ajar, that if any danger threatened I could at once escape, and stayed still as a mouse till I might expect the people would go to bed. But meanwhile I took note of a crack that was in the kitchen-hatch that led to the living-room; thither I crept to see if the folk would not soon go to rest; but my hopes were deceived, for they had but now put on their clothes, and in place of a light there stood a sulphurous blue flame on a bench, by the light of which they anointed sticks, brooms, pitchforks, chairs, and benches, and on these flew out of the window one after another. At this I was horribly amazed, and felt great terror; yet, as being accustomed to greater horrors, and, moreover, in my whole life having never heard nor read of witches, I thought not much of this, and that chiefly because 'twas all so done in such stillness; but when all were gone I betook myself also to the living-room, and devising what I could take with me and where to find it, in such meditation sat me down straddle-wise upon a bench; whereon I had hardly sat down when I and the bench together flew straight out of the window, and left my gun and knapsack, which I had laid aside, as pay for that magical ointment. Now my sitting down, my departure, and my descent were all in one moment, for I came, methought, in a trice to a great crowd of people; but it may be that from fear I took no count how long I took for this long journey. These folk were dancing of a wondrous dance, the like of which I saw never in my life, for they had taken hands and formed many rings within one another, with their backs turned to each other like the pictures of the Three Graces, so that all faced outwards. The inmost ring was of some seven or eight persons; the second of as many again: the third contained more than the first two put together, and so on, so that in the outermost ring there were over two hundred persons; and because one ring danced towards the right and the next towards the left, I could not see how many rings they formed, nor what was in the midst around which they danced. Yet all looked monstrous strange, because all the heads wound in and out so comically. My bench that brought me alighted beside the minstrels which stood outside the rings all round the dancers, of which minstrels some had, instead of flutes, clarinets and shawms, nothing but adders, vipers and blind-worms, on which they blew right merrily: some had cats into whose breech they blew and fingered on the tail; which sounded like to bagpiper: others fiddled on horses' skulls as on the finest violins, and others played the harp upon a cow's skeleton such as lie in the slaughter-house yards: one was there, too, that had a bitch under his arm, on whose tail he fiddled and fingered on the teats; and throughout all the devils trumpeted with their noses till the whole wood resounded therewith: and when the dance was at an end, that whole hellish crew began to rave, to scream, to rage, to howl, to rant, to ramp, and to roar as they were all mad and lunatic. And now can any man think into what terror and fear I fell.
In this tumult there came to me a fellow that had under his arm a monstrous toad, full as big as a kettledrum, whose guts were dragged out through its breech and stuffed into its mouth, which looked so filthy that I was fit to vomit at it. "Lookye, Simplicissimus," says he, "I know thou beest a good lute-player: let us hear a tune from thee." But I was so terrified (because the rogue called me by name) that I fell flat: and with that terror I grew dumb, and fancied I lay in an evil dream, and earnestly I prayed in my heart I might awake from it. Now the fellow with the toad, whom I stared at all the time, went on thrusting his nose out and in like a turkey-cock, till at last it hit me on the breast, so that I was near choked. Then in a wink 'twas all pitch-dark, and I so dismayed at the heart that I fell on the ground and crossed myself a good hundred times or more.

We wish you a very warm welcome to sunny Singapore and to the SMS's Special Conference on "Globalization of Innovation Strategies: Novel Moves for a Global Game".
Our conference theme is motivated by the rising trend of emerging, non-Western economies in the global economy which has resulted in the overuse of the term "innovation" to a point that it risks losing its edge and significance. We are therefore delighted to showcase over 100 presentations on the topic of novel innovation from leading researchers. The conference is aptly located at Marina Bay Sands (MBS) – Singapore's state-of-the- art integrated resort complex that has broken away from the conventional hotel model and in so doing, defined both a new typology and a new icon for Singapore.
This two-day conference brings together academics and executives in an intimate setting to share perspectives and confront rigorous research with real world experience. Some of the many conference highlights include pre-conference doctoral and faculty workshops; seven plenary panels featuring top scholars and executives from across Asia and an opening reception at MBS. There will also be two off-site dinner events held respectively at Mount Faber and the Singapore Flyer.
and extending current works on innovation. We hope that this conference, and the networking and conversational opportunities it provides, will enable academics and practitioners to learn from each other and push their respective ideas forward. There is no better way to push forward in the research and application of novel innovation ideas than through stimulating, rich dialogue.
We would like to thank the many individuals who served as conference reviewers, our sponsoring organizations – Nanyang Technological University (NTU), National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore Management University (SMU), INSEAD and Hay Group, and the staff of the SMS Executive Office.
Last but not least, we hope you have a wonderful time, and that you find this conference in Singapore interesting, thought provoking and inspiring.

Your oven broiler uses just the top heating element to cook food. It provides crisp browning like you get on a grill by using high, direct heat. The rack and pan that comes with your broiler encourages even cooking and allows excess juices to drain from the food.
To avoid heavy cleanup later, line the main pan with aluminum foil to catch juice and drippings. Set the broiler rack inside the main pan, then arrange your food on it in a single layer. Place the food 2 inches apart to allow the hot air to circulate, so the food cooks evenly. If you want to preserve the juices or just avoid cleanup of the rack, place food directly in the lined pan. Flip the food halfway through the broiling time if you aren't using the rack.
If you use the rack that comes with your pan, spray it with a nonstick cooking spray to make cleanup easier. Preheat the broiler first, then set the pan so it's about 4 inches below the heating element. Most food broils quickly, so use the time in the recipe as a guideline. Monitor the food throughout the entire broiling period and remove it before it burns.

Summer arts scene heats up
Music, mystery and Shakespeare on local stages
JUNE 14, 2019, BOSTON – The cast of "Dear Evan Hanson" at the Citizens Bank Opera House. Photo courtesy Broadway in Boston
By Jed Gottlieb |
PUBLISHED: June 13, 2019 at 9:29 pm | UPDATED: June 14, 2019 at 5:13 pm
It's time for picnics and fireworks and Broadway musicals! Remember summer isn't just baseball and barbecue, it's Shakespeare, "Dear Evan Hansen," playhouses by the sea and some of the year's best theater.
"Cloud 9," Central Square Theater, through June 30
The great Caryl Churchill created a delightfully damning indictment of Britain's colonial ambitions in "Cloud 9." Oh, it's also a comedy. With cross-gender and cross-racial casting, Churchill lampoons Victorian repression in a show that is part bedroom farce, part revisionist history lesson, all madcap romp. centralsquaretheater.org
"Fun Home," Calderwood Pavilion, through June 30
JUNE 14, 2019, BOSTON – Marissa Simeqi and Todd Yard in a scene from SpeakEasy Stage's production of "Fun Home." Photo Nile Scott Studios
Alison Bechdel's autobiographical graphic novel, "Fun Home," provides the story for this funny, brave, and five-time Tony-winning musical. Boring, small town Pennsylvania life in the 1970s gets toppled when a husband and father is unable to bury his repression any longer. The narrator, an adult version of Bechdel, provides a spoiler early on saying: "My father and I grew up in the same small Pennsylvania town, and he was gay and I was gay, and he killed himself and I became a lesbian cartoonist." speakeasystage.com
"Masquerade," Cutler Majestic Theatre, June 18 – 19
Lithuanian director Rimas Tuminas has already wowed the theater world (his "Uncle Vanya" became the talk of the 2017 Cherry Orchard Festival). Now he returns to the Cutler Majestic with a story of envy, sin and anger in the aristocracy of 1830s St. Petersburg. Tuminas based his version on the verse drama by Mikhail Lermontov and used the score by Soviet composer Aram Khachaturyan, written for the 1941 production. emersontheatres.org
"The 39 Steps," Gloucester Stage, July 5 – 28
Murder! Espionage! Comedy? Yes, this adaptation of John Buchan's novel (and Alfred Hitchcock's movie) by Patrick Barlow has thrills, chills and a few giggles. Follow the adventures of humdrum Richard Hannay as he gets pulled into a plot that could sink all of England. gloucesterstage.com
"Freaky Friday," North Shore Music Theatre, July 9 – 21
Think it's hard being an adult? Try swapping bodies with your teenage daughter for a day and see how that goes. The beloved Disney film has been turned into a smash musical with a book by Bridget Carpenter ("Friday Night Lights," "Parenthood") and a pop/rock score by Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winners Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey ("Next to Normal," "If/Then"). nsmt.org
"Once," Cape Playhouse, July 10 – 20.
The Playhouse has some range this summer — "Little Shop of Horrors" to "Deathtrap." Best bet? "Once" and its story of two Irish musicians looking for a little more out of life than a few coins in a guitar case. Sweet, light and unexpected in the nicest ways, "Once" is almost an anti-Broadway musical. capeplayhouse.com
"Dear Evan Hansen," Boston Opera House, July 10 – Aug. 4
Winner of six Tony Awards including best musical, "Dear Evan Hansen" is now global sensation. The show is about the impact of social media and the universal journey of finding your voice. boston.broadway.com
"Cymbeline," Parkman Bandstand on the Boston Common, July 17 – Aug. 4 Packed with hidden identities, wild schemes and loads of blood (what else did you expect from Shakespeare?), "Cymbeline" is "Game of Thrones" without dragons. Or wait, maybe it's "House of Cards" with medieval dress and Elizabethan language. Whatever, it's Shakespeare, it's amazing. commshakes.org

Students make New Year's resolutions for school
By phsponyexpress on March 1, 2016 • ( 0 )
By Alicia Arias | Journalism 1 Staff
With a new year, comes a new semester with many changes. Students and teachers have thought of many new ideas to help them out with school and academic activities. They have come up with skills and techniques to help them out with the new year.
"I have considered going to tutoring more and getting more help when i need it, rather than doing it last minute," freshman Vanessa Montiel said.
Students have been trying to increase their studying skills and get rid of their procrastination habits. Many have tried new skills such as just turning off their phone or being in a quiet place to study. Although it may seem like the smallest, silliest thing, it does help students a lot and lets them focus. With no distractions, they can finish the work and still have time to relax for the day. Breaking bad habits are things that everyone's trying to resolve.
"Last semester was really something I wished I would have taken seriously. I now realize what I should improve on and get help on," freshman Kara Solcruz said.
Many students have slacked off the first semester and now have realized how it could affect them in school. Looking back at last year's grades has been a wakeup call and has changed students' mindsets. Students have become ineligible or are unable to participate in sports or trips because of their grades, which has motivated them to get their grades up. They try to get things done during any period they have, even if it wastes their own personal time, wanting to still be able to have passing grades and manage their schedule.
"I am trying to individualize instruction," Mrs. Jordan Cappetta, AP Calculus and Algebra I teacher, said. "I'm trying to monitor the students, and if after one or two examples, a student has mastered the concept, then he or she can start on the homework."
Teachers have been wanting students to come in and get help on lessons they don't understand and be able to work with individuals more during class time. They think this would really be helpful to students and help them in school and reach their academic goals. Students many not always need the extra help, but it really does help change their understandings. This will make it easier for them to grasp other concepts and have other knowledge to work on for the new units.
Overall teachers and students have started the year with big and small changes that can really help them and each other, building better bonds and start on better habits. Many have begun to see changes in their grades and schedules and have been able to get assignments and grades done by the due date. Teachers have seen great changes in their classes and in students work. The new semester has really brought many changes to students and teachers, and has made J J Pearce a great place to learn in.

Call for Papers: Workshop 'Marking of Jews During the Holocaust'
Marking of Jews During the Holocaust
Yad Vashem Summer workshop for Scholars 8-11 July 2019 in in Jerusalem. Application deadline 15 April 2019.
Marking Jews was not an invention of Nazi Germany. The earliest cases occurred in the 8th century, in the Muslim world, and resulted from the intention to reinforce their protected status in society. The Catholic Church and Catholic European rulers later adapted this practice not as a means of protection but as a means of segregation and of visualizing the Jews' (and Muslims) inferior status within Christian society. The Fourth Lateran Council (1215) decreed "that such Jews and Saracens [=Muslims] of both sexes in every Christian province and at all times shall be marked off in the eyes of the public from other peoples through the character of their dress." Modes of marking varied, but for many centuries, before this obligation was abolished, Jews in Europe were visually identified marks or clothes.
The marking measure was re-introduced and harshly implemented in Nazi Germany - first on various categories of concentration camps inmates, later on Jews in the occupied territories and in Germany proper, and satellite countries of Germany followed suit. The Judenstern (Jewish Star - Star of David) became the major mark of identification of Jews though not the only form of marking; also, this measure was not implemented everywhere and at the same moment. In concentrations and forced labor camps many marking methods were used (bands on sleeves, clothing, badges, numbering etc.), suggesting a lack of central general instructions. This year's Yad Vashem summer workshop deals with the marking of Jews during the Holocaust.
This workshop will take place between 8-11 July 2019 and will be dedicated to the marking of Jews in various countries, in ghettos and camps, within the larger context of marking persecuted groups. We call upon scholars from various disciplines to propose topics for papers that will relate to the following aspects (other relevant topics will also be considered):
What were the different kinds of markings, badges and prisoner uniforms – in different countries, ghettos and camps? Where and by whom were they manufactured?
How were decisions taken and by whom – was the initiative of German occupying authorities, local German or local non-German authorities? What were the declared criteria, goals and means of implementation in each place?
How was the prisoner numbering planned and implemented in different camps? In which context should we understand the creation of unofficial "marking objects" (such as creating bracelets with the inmate's number etc.) by the prisoners, in conjunction with the official marking?
How did Jews and non-Jews experience and respond to this persecutory order? What was the psychological and social impact of the marking measure?
What place does the marking have in survivors' memoirs, remembrance and in public and private life after the war? How are the Nazi-era markings presented in post-war visual representations (in films, art and museums)?
What are the challenges encountered by museum curators regarding the marking artifacts and their display?
Participants are encouraged to approach these issues via real-time official documents, diaries, survivor and perpetrator testimonies, judicial materials, and photography.
Applicants are requested to specify in their applications primary sources which will be utilized by them. All application materials must be submitted in either Hebrew or English and received by the Institute no later than 15 April 2019. Incomplete applications will not be considered after this date.
****Late applications will not be accepted.****
An application consists of:
1) A completed application form
2) A one-page abstract (300 words) in English
3) A preliminary list of relevant documentation that would be presented
4) A short academic biography (15-20 lines)
Send all application materials to the International Institute for Holocaust Research. Email: research.applicationas@yadvashem.org.il. Tel: 972-2-6443-480 / Fax: 972-2-6443-479
About Yad Vashem and the International Institute for Holocaust Research
Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority, is located on the Mount of Remembrance in Jerusalem, Israel, and was established in 1953 by an act of the Knesset – the Israeli parliament – in order to enshrine and preserve the memory of the six million Jews annihilated by Nazi Germany, and the thousands of flourishing Jewish communities destroyed in the process. Yad Vashem is the monument of a nation's grief. Apart from its role as a commemorative institution, Yad Vashem is recognized as an academic center that specializes in Holocaust research and education.
The International Institute for Holocaust Research – Yad Vashem was formally established in the 1993. It inherited a research and publication legacy dating back to the establishment of Yad Vashem. The Institute is active in the development and coordination of International research; the planning and undertaking of scholarly projects; the organization of symposia, conferences, and seminars; the fostering of cooperative projects among research institutions; financial and academic support for scholars and students of the Shoah; offering MA, PhD and postdoctoral fellowships, and publishing academic research, documentation, conference anthologies, diaries, memoirs, and albums about the Shoah.
