Endnote toolbars can be added directly to your copy of Word 6 for Mac and MS Word 98. You can "cite while you write," adding footnotes and formatting bibliographies directly into your work.
Results of online database and library catalog searches can be imported directly into Endnote (no need to buy a separate program to do this, as with ProCite, or earlier versions of Endnote).
Endnote 3.0 is a Z39.50 client. This means you can use Endnote to connect to databases and library catalogs that comply with the Z39.50 protocol for cross-database searching and download results directly into your bibliography. ProCite offers a program, Bookwhere, that perform similar functions, but must be separately purchased.
URLs can be launched directly from Endnote bibliographies.
Endnote libraries can be exported as RTF and HTML as well as plain text.
You can enter your citations into many "reference types" (Journal Article, Book, Personal Communication, Electronic Source, etc.) These may also be customized to your needs. As a long-time user of ProCite, I found the Endnote reference types easier for beginners to understand and use, although fields within reference types are not as highly customizable. Endnote also provides more built-in "import filters" for data from the newer web-based versions of bibliographic databases from such vendors as OCLC FirstSearch, and SilverPlatter's WebSPIRS, than does ProCite. First-time users of bibliographic management software who are Macintosh users, or work in cross-platform organizations should consider Endnote: bibliographic "libraries" created in Endnote for Mac can be used by owners of DOS and Windows versions (and vice versa). Educational discounts, netpacks and site licenses are available.
System requirements: A Macintosh running System 7.0 or later, at least 2 MB of RAM, a hard drive with at least 5MB of free space. Your Mac need not be a PowerPC to run Endnote 3.0. - Gloria Rohmann, Head, Electronic & Media Resources, New York University Libraries.

Life Science learning is an exciting time for children and adults. Below is a Montessori approach to bringing life sciences into your learning environment.
Introduce the next sequence by using a real animal or plant. For example, if you have a fish or a plant, bring it to a work table along with a figurine/fake plant and a picture of the animal or plant.
Ask the children a series of questions about what they see as they observed the representation. Write down the observations.
Then put aside the real plant or animal and bring out the figure and ask the same types of questions. Cross out any observation or descriptive word that can no longer be used to describe the plant or animal.
Finally, put the figure aside and pull out an image of the plant or animal. Cross out any observation or descriptive word that can no longer be used to describe the plant or animal.
The message is a powerful one.
Observing is perhaps my favorite part of these exercises. Observation is a great skill to instill in children and to cultivate in ourselves. Plus, with observation, we often have the opportunity to spend time outdoors in nature, which children generally enjoy. Within the conversation, work in ways to care for the plant or animal. Maybe even demonstrate to the child.
From where does it get its nutrients?
Why do you think this plant/animal likes living in our yard? what does it like?
What do you think this plant/animal does during the colder months to survive?
What is the purpose of this plant/animal?
How does it help our earth?
Our job is to find a way to co-exist with that particular plant or animal.
Try to keep any squirminess to myself, especially in front of kids.
Do whatever possible to nurture a child's sense of awe and wonder. A child is born with an innate sense of curiosity. Our job is to make sure that sense of awe and wonder does not leave the child.
After observation, integrate life sciences puzzles to begin introducing a child to the parts of the plant or animal. You will be amazed at the power of education. Once a child learns about the parts of a plant or animal, he seems to gain even more respect for that plant or animal. So, caring for the plant or animal becomes second nature.
I hope you found this Montessori life science overview useful!

Would you hand a three-year-old a knife?
Okay, to be fair, we're talking a blunt knife, not a sharp one, to prepare food.
Using a child sized spreader, children spread warm butter, cream cheese, peanut butter onto toast, raw bread, crackers, and vegetables.
Butter in a bag, bread, peanut butter with a food grinder, cracking peanuts, hammering nuts, vegetable dip, cheese & meat snack, slicing hard boiled eggs or making deviled eggs, making a smoothie, drying foods, making salads, using a melon baller to prepare a melon snack, grate cheese, squeeze lemon, crush herbs with mortar & pestle.
Use step by step visual recipe cards to allow children to complete a recipe work cycle. This work is great pre-math work!
This last part of the sequence requires some preparation of mindset and environment. Allow the children to create their own recipes, observe, and experience the results. Ask inquiry questions along the way. Document the recipe to complete the work cycle. This work is a wonderful pre-science activity!
Bringing kids into the kitchen is fun and simple to do. Being patient with the experience is key. Your mindset needs to embrace the fact that there might be a bigger mess and the prep may take a bit longer. That is the name of the game. Think about the long term rather than the short term.
You'll find loads of resources for bringing kids into the kitchen on Montessori Services site!

More reports on: Sahara Group
Sahara chief Roy finally surrenders; son claims he wasn't absconding
Subrata Roy, the 'fugitive' chief of the Sahara Group, finally surrendered to the Uttar Pradesh Police in Lucknow this morning, two days after the Supreme Court issued a non-bailable arrest warrant on him.
Roy's advocate Ram Jethmalani, while telling the SC that his client had ''surrendered'', sought the formation of a special bench to urgently hear his plea for recalling the arrest warrant, but the bench firmly turned down the request.
The Sahara promoter may remain in police custody till 4 March, when an exasperated bench of the SC has demanded his appearance.
On Thursday, a team of the UP police had landed at his residence to arrest him under court orders, but found him missing. With his passport invalidated, Roy probably decided that he could run, but could not hide from the ''long arm of justice'', as the Supreme Court termed it while hearing the case on Wednesday.
Subrata's son Seemanto Roy promptly called a press conference after his father's arrest, in which he said father "wilfully submitted" before the Lucknow police and was cooperating with the authorities.
The junior Roy said his father was very concerned about the health of his 95-year-old mother, and was hoping for a short relief from the Supreme Court. But he decided to submit to the police authorities this morning after the "agony" he suffered from reports about deliberately absconding.
Some may scoff at this defence, as Roy was not at his residence on Thursday when the cops arrived to arrest him under court orders.
Addressing the conference, Seemanto Roy said the Sahara chief had come to Delhi on 24 February to appear before the Supreme Court on 26 February. "He is very attached to his mother and had to go back to Lucknow due to her illness. He had only sought exemption only for a day from personal appearance before the Supreme Court, But he was not granted a short relief," Seemanta said.
Earlier in the morning before his arrest, Subrata Roy himself issued a signed statement from Lucknow claiming he was not absconding and was ready to obey any Supreme Court direction "unconditionally".
The court had issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against him on Wednesday when he failed to appear in court in connection with Sahara's failure to refund Rs20,000 crore to investors. (See: SC orders Sahara chief Roy's arrest for avoiding court appearance).

Pokemon GO's January 2019 Community Day Includes Totodile
by Riley Little
– on Dec 20, 2018
in Game News
What has kept players coming back to Pokemon GO is the fact that the game has continued to grow since launch through major updates – trainer battles appeared in Pokemon GO only just recently – and monthly community events. The mobile title took the world by storm been it arrived in 2016, and Pokemon GO has continued to gross millions of dollars every month ever since.
January 2019 community event has just been detailed for fans, confirming that Gold and Silver Version's starter Pokemon, Totodile, will be the focus this time around. Developer Niantic took to the official Pokemon GO website, PokemonGOLive, to announce the event, and inform aspiring Pokemon Masters that January's Community Day will kick off on January 12, 2019. Much like other events, it will take place from 2pm-5pm EST (11am-2pm PST) and it will feature a number of incentives for anyone willing to open up the Pokemon GO app and begin playing during that day.
Related: Pokemon GO Meltan Research Guide
For example, the event will allow trainers to hatch Eggs with 1/4 of the previously required distance, making it much easier for the them to obtain rare Pokemon that can only be hatched. Additionally, Lures will last three hours instead of thirty minutes during this event, which means that players will be able to have one operating for the entirety of the Community Day – making it easier to catch Pokemon.
Since the focus will be on Totodile, it's likely that the event will mark the first time that a shiny variant of the creature will be available in the game. Furthermore, anyone that evolves Totodile into its final evolution, Feraligatr, during this time will be awarded for their effort with an exclusive move for the Water-type. It's really a double whammy for fans.
Admittedly, this upcoming Community Day is less noteworthy than December's Pokemon GO event, which played host to 11 Pocket Monsters and all of their shiny forms (as well as the rest of the above treatment) spread out over an entire weekend. In that light, it's not out of the question to suggest that Totodile may emerge as part of a December 2019 Community Day, but those that are unwilling to wait that long for a chance to round out the Johto portion of their Pokedex will want to make sure that they are playing Pokemon GO on January 12.

Do you ever daydream of escaping the hustle and bustle of daily life to enjoy a nice relaxing getaway? I know I do, and after living here a number of years, I feel qualified to tell you that Hendricks County should definitely be at the top of your destination list.
Finding an extraordinary place to call home for a few days is paramount when planning your trip.
How about a cottage nestled on a 75-acre horse farm? Imagine waking up and sipping coffee on the veranda while watching horses graze across the field. Located in Brownsburg, The Cottage at Natural Valley Ranch is a 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home surrounded by beautiful landscape. Take a walk or ride a horse on the miles of trails through woods and field. Or grab your fishing pole and spend an afternoon at the lake. The only problem I see here, is that you may never want to leave.
The Four Sisters Inn bed and breakfast is located a short walk from downtown Danville. This late 1800's era home features a small coffee bar for your convenience upstairs. Curl up with a good book in the parlor or on the patio. And evenings can be spent around the firepit. Featuring four unique rooms, hardwood floors and serene decor, this retreat may be perfect for you.
The choices are endless in Hendricks County when it comes to finding that perfect home away from home. When you arrive, take a few minutes to unpack your suitcase. This will help you feel more at home and reduce clutter, enhancing your relaxation.
An array of options are available when it comes to dining in Hendricks County.
Cafes like Court House Grounds in Danville or Cinnamon Girls Bakery and Cafe in Coatesville are local favorites, perfect for lunch or a light dinner.
In an ethnic mood? Hirosaki Japanese Steakhouse located in Avon offers the Habachi grill experience with food chopped and prepared right before your eyes. How about some Pad Thai cooked to order with your choice of heat at Thai Orchid in Plainfield. Or if you're in the mood for Greek-inspired cuisine, visit Mediterranean Grill in Avon.
Steak and seafood options are aplenty too. Boulder Creek Dining Company in Brownsburg offers a lodge-like atmosphere with a cozy, fine-dining experience. The Coachman Restaurant and Lounge located in Plainfield also features cooked to order steaks and seafood.
And of course there's the old stand by of a good pizza pie. Perillo's Pizzeria in North Salem is a favorite among locals offering pastas and even sandwiches. So Italian! in Brownsburg has a full menu including pastas, salads, pizza and calzones. Using fine flour, their pizza dough is made fresh daily. They also feature their own homemade sauce and fresh ingredients. This is one pizza you will never forget.
We tend to spend our days rushing to get to our next engagement. Skip the fast food and take some time to sit down and enjoy a leisurely meal with good company. It can make all the difference of turning a good vacation into a great one.
Exercise reduces stress hormones and increases endorphins which help foster relaxation.
Go ahead and pack those golf clubs for a round or two of golf on one of Hendricks County's nine golf courses.
Or bring your bikes for a leisurely ride down the B&O Trail. You can also head on out to one of the many parks in Hendricks County and bike or walk the trails. Get out and get moving. Commune with nature and feel those tense muscles relax.
How about a tour of the intricacies of the wine-making process? Visit Chateau Thomas Winery and try a sampling of the many fine wines produced right on site. Revel in the atmosphere as you tickle your taste buds. And every Friday through September, enjoy live music on the veranda.
Black Swan Brewpub in Plainfield also has a wide assortment of local beers and wines, including one beer crafted on site. Stop in and enjoy some good food and good spirits.
Finally, Three Pints Brewpub also in Plainfield, offers both cuisine and spirits, including locally crafted beer. Come on out and enjoy the cajun-inspired rattlesnake shrimp pasta or a burger, and sample their palatable site-crafted beer.
Stop in and unwind at any of these establishments and enjoy the true tastes of Hendricks County.
Finally, I want to encourage you to take time and pamper yourself. Go to a spa for a massage. Get a pedicure or manicure. I recommend Cass & Company Salon in Avon or visit Mars Venus Salon & Day Spa in Brownsburg.
Or enjoy a little retail therapy. Leisurely browse one of the many local antique shops in Hendricks County or stop in to visit an art gallery. You never know when you might find that perfect piece you never knew you had to have.
You have worked hard and you deserve to indulge every once in awhile. As you dream and plan for your next relaxing getaway, make sure Hendricks County is at the top of your list.

Press release - White collar boxing operator seeks promoters
White collar boxing operator seeks promoters for knockout business opportunity
Boxing enthusiasts around the UK are being offered the opportunity to build a business promoting white collar fights. Specialist events company LBM Boxing is looking for individuals to take on licences to operate its Zero2Hero programme in a range of local areas across the country.
Promoters will receive full training, along with back office and marketing support, to deliver high-quality white collar boxing events. They will need to work with local boxing gyms to ensure that fighters are fully prepared, as well as engaging with venues to put on the events themselves.
According to LBM Boxing, promoters can expect to make a profit in the region of £50,000 in their first year and upwards of £90,000 in their second year of operations.
Licences cost from £6,995 for one area, and an additional £3,000 for each extra area purchased by a promoter. LBM Boxing has engaged the national business transfer agent Blacks Business Brokers to market and handle the sale of these licences.
Anthony Meadowcroft, New Business Department Manager at Blacks Business Brokers, said, "This is a great opportunity for individuals with an interest in fitness and events management to acquire an 'out-of-the-box' business opportunity and become their own boss.
"White collar boxing is really growing in popularity and, with people's thoughts turning to health and fitness in the New Year, this is an ideal time for would-be promoters to take on a rewarding new challenge themselves."
The LBM Boxing Zero2Hero programme gives fighters with no previous boxing experience the opportunity to train intensively over an eight-week period before taking part in a three-round bout against an opponent of a similar weight and standard. Participants each undertake to sell a minimum number of tickets to their bout, the proceeds from which contribute to the promoter's profit as well as raising money for LBM Boxing's nominated charity, the Lennox Children With Cancer Fund.
LBM Boxing operates nationwide from its head office in Southend-On-Sea, Essex. It aims offer regular white collar boxing events in every county of the UK within 24 months.
All enquiries should be made to Blacks Business Brokers on 0333 370 0000, quoting reference 6021.

As we continue our conversation on marketing in an all-digital world, one topic at the forefront of our clients' minds is how marketing can best support sales. The reality is, physical industry events may not occur for quite some time.
I recently had the pleasure of participating in a panel discussion with industry thought leaders, Amanda Bohne and Megan Heur, talking about today's sudden, new reality and its impact on marketing.

Marijuana industry battling stoner stereotypes
(AFP/Getty Images: Oliver Berg)
PUBLISHED: September 20, 2014 at 11:01 pm | UPDATED: November 3, 2015 at 1:41 pm
Tired of Cheech & Chong pot jokes and ominous anti-drug campaigns, the marijuana industry and activists are starting an ad blitz in Colorado aimed at promoting moderation and the safe consumption of pot.
To get their message across, they are skewering some of the old Drug War-era ads that focused on the fears of marijuana, including the famous "This is your brain on drugs" fried-egg ad from the 1980s.
They are planning posters, brochures, billboards and magazine ads to caution consumers to use the drug responsibly and warn tourists and first-timers about the potential to get sick from accidentally eating too much medical-grade pot.
"So far, every campaign designed to educate the public about marijuana has relied on fear-mongering and insulting marijuana users," said Mason Tvert, spokesman for the Marijuana Policy Project, the nation's biggest pot-policy advocacy group.
The MPP unveiled a billboard on a west Denver street where many pot shops are located that shows a woman slumped in a hotel room with the tagline: "Don't let a candy bar ruin your vacation."
It's an allusion to Maureen Dowd, a New York Times columnist who wrote about getting sick from eating a legally laced candy on a visit to write about pot. The campaign is a direct response to the state's post-legalization marijuana-education efforts.
One of them is intended to prevent stoned driving and shows men zoning out while trying to play basketball, light a grill or hang a television. Many in the industry said the ads showed stereotypical stoners instead of average adults.
Even more concerning to activists is a youth-education campaign that relies on a human-sized cage and the message, "Don't Be a Lab Rat," along with warnings about pot and developing brains.
The cage in Denver has been repeatedly vandalized. At least one school district rejected the traveling exhibit, saying it was well-intentioned but inappropriate.
"To me, that's not really any different than Nancy Reagan saying 'Just Say No,' " said Tim Cullen, co-owner of four marijuana dispensaries, referring to the former first lady's effort to combat drug use.
A spokesman for the state Health Department welcomed the industry's ads, and defended the "lab rat" campaign. "It's been effective in starting a conversation about potential risks to youth from marijuana," Mark Salley said.
The dueling campaigns come at a time when the industry is concerned about inexperienced consumers using edible pot. The popularity of edibles surprised some in the industry when legal-marijuana retail sales began in January.
Edible pot products have been blamed for at least one death, of a college student who jumped to his death in Denver in March after consuming six times the recommended dose of edible marijuana.
The headlines, including Dowd's experience, have been enough for the industry to promote moderation with edible pot.
"I think the word has gotten out that you need to be careful with edibles," said Steve Fox, head of the Denver-based Council for Responsible Cannabis Regulation.
The group organized the "First Time 5" campaign, which cautions that new users shouldn't eat more than 5 milligrams of marijuana's psychoactive ingredient, or half a suggested serving.
The campaign warns users that edible pot can be much more potent than the marijuana they're smoking — and that the pot-infused treats on store shelves are much stronger than homemade brownies they may recall eating.
The advocacy ads tackle anti-drug messaging from year past.
Inside pictures of old TV sets are images from historic ads. Along with the fried-egg one is an image from one ad of a father finding his son's drug stash and demanding to know who taught him to use it.
The kid answers: "You, all right! I learned it by watching you!"
The print ad concludes, "Decades of fear-mongering and condescending anti-marijuana ads have not taught us anything about the substance or made anyone safer."
It then directs viewers to consumeresposibly.org, which is patterned after the alcohol industry's "Drink Responsibly" campaign.
Marijuana activists plan to spend $75,000 by year's end and eventually expand it to Washington state, where pot is also legal.


The European Commission plans to spend €2.2 billion on clean energy projects during 2018-2020 period through its EU research and innovation funding program Horizon 2020.
The €2.2 billion earmarked for clean energy projects will be split across four interrelated areas of renewable energy, energy efficient building, electro-mobility and storage solutions.
This also includes €200 million to support the development and production in Europe of the next generation of electric batteries, the European Commission said.
The total of €30 billion of Horizon 2020 funding available for the 2018-2030 includes plans to launch the first phase of the European Innovation Council.
Between 2018 and 2020, the European Commission said it would mobilize €2.7 billion to support high-risk, high-gain innovation to create the markets of the future.
At the same time, Horizon 2020 will continue to fund 'curiosity-driven science', according to the European Commission.
The annual Work Program of the European Research Council for 2018, adopted in August, will enable support for excellent researchers with nearly €1.86 billion.
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, which fund fellowships for researchers at all stages of their careers, received a boost with €2.9 billion in total over three years.
Horizon 2020 is the EU's biggest ever research and innovation framework program with a budget of €77 billion over seven years (2014-2020).
As of October 2017, Horizon 2020 has in total funded more than 15,000 grants to the tune of €26.65 billion, of which almost €3.79 billion went to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the European Commission said.

Or can our society along with the desire of educators teach children the values they need to take responsibility for living and learning. It's simple;the children are our future, it's our moral duty in schools to provide a Values Based curriculum.
The Little Book of Values explores twenty-two values that can be taught through schools and indeed the whole community. The book will inspire you by using examples of where values are already being used by children and adults in schools and share practicaltools to stimulate discussion and philosophical debate. It will also help people to take stock of their own values and how they wish to lead their lives.
Julie Rees (formerly Duckworth) has been teaching in the primary sector for 20 years. As Headteacher of a primary school experiencing all the challenges of a deprived rural area she introduced the Values Education approach which radically transformed the quality of life for both children and staff. Julie is currently Headteacher of Ledbury Primary School.Ian Gilbert is an educational speaker, award-winning writer and editor, innovator, entrepreneur and a man who the IB World magazine named as one of its top fifteen 'educational visionaries'.

This book examines why study abroad is a marginal activity in American higher education and evaluates the role gender has played in the development and maintenance of this marginality.
This book's central argument offers educationalists new ways of understanding the significance of sexuality and gender in young people's lives and suggests ways in which this knowledge is useful in practice.

Do not miss the match between Stranraer and Brechin City in Scotland League One that is going to be held this Saturday at Stair Park.
The club is now in the eighth place. Their most recent two matches ended with a victory over Raith Rovers (2-3) and Forfar Athletic (2-1); however, the players have managed to achieve only four victories in their last 10 games in all competitions. The home result of the club in the league is not impressive because the Blues have won only 1 out of their previous 8 battles held at their own ground.
Stephen Farrell's side is one of the top ten clubs in the league, and they will also have home advantage.
The team is just behind the hosts in the standings, so they have similar potential. The last match of the club ended with a 1-1 draw with Arbroath FC, and just before that, the players had lost 3 games in a row to Dumbarton FC (2-1), Montrose FC (0-3), and Airdrieonians FC (0-3). The away result of the team is quite good because they won 3 of their most recent 5 games on travels.
Barry Smith's men will have to try hard to defeat the hosts, but they have a chance to do that.
Based on a range of significant factors, the recommended bet is Stranraer or Brechin City (1.30 odds).
Here you will find the FOOTBALL prediction for the match of Stranraer & Brechin of the League One, Scotland. The prediction is prepared by our analytical team and is based on the latest news of the League One, Stranraer and Brechin stats and lineups, insider news and our team's expert analysis.

Are luxury cars reliable
March 26, 2019 – 10:13 am
Most Reliable Luxury Cars
Over the years, we have heard a lot of gripes about unreliable luxury cars.
Lamborghini's LM002 "had the durability of a potato chip, " one car-industry analyst remarked. Your typical Land Rover, one reader wrote, is "as reliable as a drunken house painter."
And there are entire Web sites dedicated to jokes about Lucas, the company which used to supply mediocre electrical components to Jaguar, giving the automaker's build quality a miserable reputation that has endured for decades ("Q. Why do the English drink warm beers? A. Because they have Lucas refrigerators").
In other words, if you buy a luxury car, don't expect it to be trouble-free.
But some brands, particularly Japanese luxury automakers, are known for immaculate manufacturing. At the start of this year, half of the market's 16 most-reliable luxury cars — the models which earn Consumer Reports' highest marks for predicted reliability and/or J.D. Power's highest marks for manufacturing quality — were Japanese, including Toyota Motor's $61, 000 Lexus LS flagship sedan, which the carmaker just overhauled.
Dependable Drive
The new LS is the fourth generation of the car since Lexus introduced the line in 1989, and it has garnered more awards for quality than any other luxury car, says Lexus. It has also won J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Index study every year it has been eligible.
Lexus builds five of the 16 most reliable luxury cars. Its slogan used to be "the relentless pursuit of perfection, " and it wasn't just lip service.
While the company has world-renowned manufacturing methods, "the pursuit of perfection" is implanted so vigorously into Toyota's corporate culture that Lexus engineers its trademark reliability into cars before they ever hit the factories. The company's designers and engineers have mastered the science behind the creation of reliable vehicles, and they don't need to wait to see how their technology and engineering will hold up on the actual cars, at least not to the extent that other manufacturers do (to test things out, other automakers need to build more pre-production prototypes than Lexus does).
Increasing Competition
Given Toyota's merits, we were surprised to find that several other luxury cars compare favorably with Lexus' models, despite being issued by companies that are hardly Toyota-like.
DaimlerChrysler's Mercedes-Benz subsidiary, for example, has had reliability issues resulting in massive recalls and dreadful Consumer Reports ratings. However, J.D. Power has given two of the carmaker's vehicles (the SL and SLK convertibles) its highest marks for manufacturing quality. Power reports that SL and SLK owners, within 90 days of taking delivery of their new cars, are seeing very few problems with features, accessories, interior components and body quality. Could Mercedes finally be tackling its quality-control issues?
We're asking the same question of other German cars this year. In general, they are known for having technology that is prone to failure because of its complexity. Yet we were surprised to see cars by Mercedes, BMW and Porsche on our list this year.

In my opinion the new Range Rover defines luxury. My personal
experience and backed by many auto reviews it is also the most
reliable of any of the newer luxury cars available. To read up on

Old reliable luxury car? | Yahoo Answers
If you are looking for a hassle free car for $3000 you may have a long wait. Try perhaps a top end low mileage car from a brand not noted for luxury cars, maybe a Hyundai or Kia perhaps. Domestic cars may also be worth a look, such as Buicks or Mercurys. Don't forget a luxury car will still have luxury car running costs, and all old cars will need repairs at some time. Good luck!.

Guests gathered at a Kyiv cinema in Ukraine for a special charity premiere of the documentary, 'Looks Like Home'.
The film, by Thomson Foundation and the internet television service Hromadske.Ua, featured the personal accounts of three internally displaced people (IDPs) who became hostages of the ongoing conflict in the east of Ukraine and were forced to flee their homes.
The Hromadske journalists behind the documentary were Angelina Karyakina, Oleksandr Nazarov, Anastasiya Kanaryova and Bohdan Kinaschuk, as well as Thomson Foundation consultant, David Hands, who mentored Hromadske as part of the Regional Voices project: Strengthening Conflict Sensitive Coverage in Ukraine's Regional Media, supported by the European Union.
Filming for Looks Like Home started in February 2016 and the documentary is aimed at increasing the awareness of the challenges faced by people who have been forced out of their homes due to war.
"One of the goals of the film is to destroy stereotypes about the displaced. We wanted to show who these people are, to understand them, to show their life as it is", says Oleksander Nazarov, co-producer of the film.
"Our film became an experimental movie. In mainstream media, IDPs, the war and leaving home behind, has already been reported heavily," continued Angelina Karyakina, who also co-produced the film. "I guess for that reason some of our characters had wondered why we had approached them. But to let us into their lives, in a moment of uncertainty and vulnerability, when the drama was no longer on the surface, takes real courage. And we are endlessly grateful to our heroes for this".
The pre-release screening of Looks Like Home was aimed at fundraising for the "Rukavychka" shelter for single IDP mothers in Orlivschyna in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The shelter is founded by Martin Club NGO.
Following the event, 14,226 UAH (almost £430) was raised for Rukavycka shelter and will partially cover construction of a playground where IDPs and local children can play together.
This documentary is aimed at increasing the awareness of the challenges faced by the displaced.
The Regional Voices project is implemented by a media consortium led by the Thomson Foundation and financed by the European Union. The overall objective of the project is to decrease potential areas of conflict through balanced news output in the regional media, thereby contributing to a decrease in communal tensions, specifically between internally displaced persons (IDPs) and their host communities.

Q: Get image from other ASP.Net project This is my first project:

This is where I have to access the images stored in other project (shown below):

Both projects are stored in the same drive.

Now, how can I display the images in CEEXAM Project when the images are stored in Admin Pages project?
P.S.: Projects are both running in IIS.

A: So I finally figured it out. It works well now. I did not copy-paste the image folder from one project to other because it's obviously not a good idea. What I did was in the IIS, I created a Virtual Directory for the CEEXAM Project that points to the image folder located in Admin Pages Project. (since both projects are deployed in IIS and running in one production server)

На пола пута је међународни књижевни фестивал који окупља писце из бивше Југославије. Одржава се од 2006. године у Ужичкој гимназији. За припрему фестивала задужени су ученици гимназије, а време одржавања је средина априла сваке године.

Настанак фестивала

Фестивал настаје 2006. године са идејом да се у школи разговара о темама за које у стандардној школи углавном нема места, а које су за средњошколце важне. Пократачи су Ненад Величковић и Ружица Марјановић.

Један фестивалски дан

Поред часова који се одржавају у Ужичкој гимназији, постоје и вечерња читања на малој сцени Народног позоришта у Ужицу, на којима гости читају своја дела након разговора са ученицима. Такође, организују се радионице драмског, преводилачког и другог садржаја. Сваку фестивалску годину прати посебан пратећи програм.

Gunman in Australia Attack Had Been Acquitted of Terror Plot
GLOBAL TERROR
AAP/Julian Smith
A gunman who killed a man and took a woman hostage before killing himself near Melbourne on Monday had previously been acquitted of plotting a terror attack on an Australian army base. The gunman, identified as 29-year-old Yacqub Khayre, had been acquitted along with one other man of plotting a suicide bombing in Sydney in 2010. Khayre, a Somali refugee, was involved in a two-hour standoff with police Monday after gunning down a man at an escort agency. He then took a female hostage before barricading himself inside an apartment, as swarms of police attempted to negotiate with him. Khayre later exited the apartment and fired a shotgun at police, sparking a shootout in which three police officers were wounded. Authorities are treating the incident as a terror attack, and ISIS has claimed responsibility. Authorities said they don't believe Khayre had accomplices, and have excluded the possibility that his actions were linked to Saturday's attack in London. "There is nothing that we've found thus far that would suggest to us that this was anything that was... planned or done in concert with others," Victoria state Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton said Tuesday. A local news station said it received a phone call from a woman claiming to be involved in the hostage situation, though a man grabbed the phone and said, "This is for ISIS, this is for al Qaeda."

The terrifying mathematics of the Anthropocene
By Owen Gaffney and Will Steffen,
Here are some surprising facts about humans' effect on planet Earth. We have made enough concrete to create an exact replica of Earth 2mm thick. We have produced enough plastic to wrap Earth in clingfilm. We are creating "technofossils", a new term for congealed human-made materials – plastics and concretes – that will be around for tens of millions of years.
But it is the scale that humans have altered Earth's life support system that is the most concerning.
In 2000, Nobel laureate Paul Crutzen and Eugene Stoermer proposed that human impact on the atmosphere, the oceans, the land and ice sheets had reached such a scale that it had pushed Earth into a new epoch. They called it the Anthropocene and argued the current Holocene epoch was over.
The Holocene began 11,700 years ago as we emerged from a deep ice age. Over the past 10,000 years, the defining feature of the Holocene has been a remarkably stable Earth system. This stability has allowed us to develop agriculture and hence villages, towns and eventually cities – human civilisation.
We use pretty powerful rhetoric to describe the Anthropocene and current human impact. As The Economist stated in 2011, humanity has "become a force of nature reshaping the planet on a geological scale". We are like an asteroid strike. We have the impact of an ice age.
But what does this really mean? Does it mean, for example, that we are having as big an impact as these natural forces are having right now, or is it, somehow, more profound?
Humans: the new asteroids.

The maths of the Anthropocene
In our recent study, we wanted to find the simplest way to mathematically describe the Anthropocene and articulate the difference between how the planet once functioned and how it now functions.
Life on Earth, the chemical and physical composition of the atmosphere and oceans, and the size of the ice sheets have changed over time because of slight alterations to Earth's orbit around the sun, changes to the sun's energy output or major asteroid impacts like the one that killed the dinosaurs.
Cyanobacteria changed the world; now it's our turn.

They can also change due to geophysical forces: continents collide, cutting off ocean currents so heat is distributed in a new way, upsetting climate and biodiversity.
They also shift due to sheer internal dynamics of the system – new life evolves to drive great planetary shifts, such as the Great Oxidation Event around 2.5 billion years ago when newly evolved cyanobacteria began emitting the deadly poison oxygen that killed all simple life forms it came in touch with. Life had to evolve to tolerate oxygen.
Taking as our starting point a 1999 article by Earth system scientist Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, we can say the rate of change of the Earth system (E) has been driven by three things: astronomical forcings such as those from the sun or asteroids; geophysical forcing, for example changing currents; and internal dynamics, such as the evolution of cyanobacteria. Let's call them A, G and I.
Mathematically, we can put it like this:
It reads: the rate of change of the Earth system (dE/dt) is a function of astronomical and geophysical forcings and internal dynamics. It is a very simple statement about the main drivers of the system.
This equation has been true for four billion years, since the first life evolved. In his article, Schellnhuber argued that people must be added into this mix, but his theory came before the full impact of humanity had been assessed. In the past few decades, this equation has been radically altered.
We are losing biodiversity at rates tens to hundreds of times faster than natural rates. Indeed, we are approaching mass extinction rates. There have been five mass extinctions in the history of life on Earth. The last killed the non-avian dinosaurs 66 million years ago, now humans are causing the sixth.
The rate we are emitting carbon dioxide might be at an all time high since that time too. Global temperatures are rising at a rate 170 times faster than the Holocene baseline. The global nitrogen cycle is undergoing its largest and most rapid change in possibly 2.5 billion years.
In fact, the rate of change of the Earth system under human influence in the past four decades is so significant we can now show that the equation has become:
H stands for humanity. In the Anthropocene Equation, the rate of change of the Earth system is a function of humanity.
A, G and I are now approaching zero relative to the other big force – us – they have become essentially negligible. We are now the dominant influence on the stability and resilience of the planet we call home.
This is worth a little reflection. For four billion years, the Earth system changed under the influence of tremendous solar-system wide forces of nature. Now this no longer holds.
IPCC, 2014: Climate Change 2014: Synthesis Report. Contribution of Working Groups I, II and III to the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. IPCC, Geneva, Switzerland
A new reality
Heavenly bodies of course still exert some force; so does the ground beneath our feet. But the rates at which these forces operate are now negligible compared with the rate at which we are changing the Earth system. In the 1950s or 1960s, our own impact rivalled the great forces of nature. Now it usurps them entirely.
This should come as a shock not only to environmentalists but to everyone on Earth. But our conclusion is arguably a modest addition to the canon of academic literature. The scale and rate of change has already been well established by Earth system scientists over the past two decades.
Recently, Mark Williams and colleagues argued that the Anthropocene represents the third new era in Earth's biosphere, and astrobiologist David Grinspoon argued that the Anthropocene marks one of the major events in a planet's "life", when self-aware cognitive processes become a key part of the way the planet functions.
Still, formalising the Anthropocene mathematically brings home an entirely new reality.
The drama is heightened when we consider that for much of Earth's history the planet has been either very hot – a greenhouse world – or very cold – an icehouse world. These appear to be the deeply stable states lasting millions of years and resistant to even quite major shoves from astronomical or geophysical forces.
But the past 2.5 million years have been uncharacteristically unstable, periodically flickering from cold to a gentle warmth.
The consumption vortex
So, who do we mean when we talk of H? Some will argue that we cannot treat humanity as one homogenous whole. We agree.
While all of humanity is now in the Anthropocene, we are not all in it in the same way. Industrialised societies are the reason we have arrived at this place, not Inuits in northern Canada or smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa.
Scientific and technological innovations and economic policies promoting growth at all costs have created a consumption and production vortex on a collision course with the Earth system.
Others may say that natural forces are too important to ignore; for example, the El Niño weather system periodically changes patterns globally and causes Earth to warm for a year or so, and the tides generate more energy than all of humanity. But a warm El Niño is balanced by a cool La Niña. The tides and other great forces of nature are powerful but stable. Overall, they do not affect the rate of change of the Earth system.
Now, only a truly catastrophic volcanic eruption or direct asteroid hit could match us for impact.
So, can the Anthropocene equation be solved? The current rate of change must return to around zero as soon as possible. It cannot continue indefinitely. Either humanity puts on the brakes or it would seem unlikely a global civilisation will continue to function on a destabilised planet. The choice is ours.

On April 13th, 45 students at JWU all made the trip to the Harborside campus to compete in a 3v3 Grassroot Soccer tournament. Grassroot is an organization based in Africa. Their mission is to educate children in Africa about HIV and AIDS. As we all know, the deadly decease is spreading rapidly in Africa. By participating in the soccer tournament we all helped Grassroot in their work.
To participate in the tournament all players had to donate either $10 or $20 to Grassroot. For $20 the player was also given a Nike/Grassroot Dri-fit shirt. We expected 30 players to play but ended up with 45 players in 15 different teams. The players' donations and donations from students who did not play added up to $580. That money will educate 23 children in Africa about HIV and AIDS.
The Delaney Gym was full of people playing soccer. There were always three games going on simultaneously. The players used the walls on the side to make the game quicker and we used small goals and no goalkeepers. The games were also being played without referees to encourage players to be honest and fair.
When players were not playing games it was great to see students interact with students they had not met before. It was a melting pot of students from all over the world, there were about 15 nationalities represented. The common interest in soccer made people bond and talk about players and teams. Hopefully some students found new friends when they were networking.
As the group stage ended there were times to see who made it to the semifinals. All group winners and the runner up with the most points all made it to the playoffs. Some of the students who did not make it were exhausted after playing several games and left the gymnasium. Others decided to stick around to watch the last games of the tournament. The first semifinal was a matchup between Team Sweden and Free Agent Team 2. A free agent team is a team consisting of players who registered without having a team, meaning they did not know each other beforehand. It is impressive that they made it that far.
The second semifinal was played between Sheep's Wool and Guasal FC. It was a close game but Guasal FC came out as winners with the result 2-1. The first semifinal was not a close one, the final score was 10-1 to Team Sweden.
The final was therefore played between Team Sweden and Guasal FC. Guasal FC had used four players throughout the tournament so they were more rested, they were also more technically skilled players. Team Sweden played physical and well as a team. The latter proved to be better. Team Sweden won the final with 2-0. Team Sweden won the t-shirts and mugs the JWU bookstore had generously donated to the winning team. The game for 3rd place was won by Sheep's Wool.


The word "pizza" became a part of the Italian Language in 793AD. However, its origins date further back. Who knew this meagre event would become a global phenomenon?! Pizza is more than just a good meal, it's that awkward feeling on your first date; it's a Saturday night indoors with the family; it's that cheeky slice on the way home after a good night out with the lads; it's movie night with the girls. Given the meaning our cultures have attached to this delicacy, we weren't going to be easily impressed by just any Italian joint.
The owner of L'acquolina is Italian, but, if you didn't already know that, the decor would lay any doubt of his nationality to rest. A riot of red, white and green covers the entire restaurant. We liked the relaxed and laid back atmosphere, where we were not judged for rocking up in shorts and T-shirts and leaving with our faces covered in tomato sauce and cheese. We were greeted by the charming and charismatic Matteo, who adds a homely and warm feel to his restaurant when he tells us about his family.
Spoiled for choice, the menu offers a vast collection of pizzas, pastas, sides and desserts catering to the exact palate of any Italian food lover.
Just trying to choose a pizza was daunting! However, Matteo informed us that there was no issue in putting up to four different varieties on one pizza. Problem solved!
Though it was still tricky, we managed to narrow down our pizza to just four types. First was Pepperoni, because sometimes the most delicious options are the simplest. Next was Salsiccia, a combination of cheese and the finest Italian pork sausage, and the herbs complimented the meat perfectly without being too overpowering. Third was Four Formaggi, created with 4 different kinds of cheese to fulfil any cheese lovers dreams, which was a perfect blend of all the cheeses, and as any westerner in China knows, good cheese is always a treat! Finally, we had Viennese, which brings America and Italy together by putting hotdog on a pizza, which was a match made in heaven!
We also tested out two appetising sides: Polpettine, which are essentially deep-fried breaded pork balls, and Mozzarella en Carrozza, which are just like miniature toasted sandwiches. Not to be over shadowed by the pizzas, these are a great treat to nibble on. Unfortunately, by this time we were bursting at the seams, so we didn't have an opportunity to try the pastas on offer.
L'acquolina de Bocca is definetly worth a visit, but if you're too lazy, and fancy a night in with Netflix, keep in mind that these guys deliver. Next time we're craving pizza, we know where we are going!
Pros: you don't need to order a whole pizza if you are just a bit peckish. L'acuquolina in Bocca sells it by the slice!
Cons: can be a bit difficult to find if you don't know where you are going.
Recommendations: Pepperoni Pizza and the Polpettine!


What we get is struggle, and From Mission to Microchip: A History of the California Labor Movement, the new book by long-time CFT Communications Director Fred Glass, chronicles that struggle: Working people on one side trying to make their lives and work better, and employers fighting every step of the way to keep them poor and powerless.
That's the framework of the book, the back and forth of initiative, opposition, and new initiative — that is, the way history happens. There are victories and losses, general strikes and lockouts, mistakes and false friends. There are villains and their hirelings, and people, often workers, who get beaten and tortured and murdered.
So this is neither a feel-good panoramic pageant nor a sociological collection of numbers. It's about people's lives and their work. Who were these people? Remember the missions? And that romantic, technicolor time in California history? Who did the work? Under what conditions? Who planted and picked the crops that turned California into an agricultural powerhouse? Who unloaded the ships? Who built the railroads and the Golden Gate Bridge? Who taught the kids? In most histories of California you'll find none of them.
Here, you will learn about the unskilled labor of thinning beet plants and how work was organized among California's pre-mission native tribes. About being a telephone operator or a carpenter in the first years of the 20th century, and labor's lost opportunity in Los Angeles in 1911. About Upton Sinclair and Harry Bridges. The redoubtable C.L. Dellums, suffragette Frances Nacke Noel, and master organizer Luisa Moreno.
One of Glass' caveats is that when we are united as workers, we can win, but, when divided by gender or religion or ethnicity or anything else, we lose. That should be obvious, but all too often, it has not been. For example: White workers in San Francisco went crazy with racism in 1877, murdered four people, and burned Chinatown. Even then, though, people resisted. Their story is here.
Unlike many histories, Mission to Microchip brings it all up to date. Glass includes the Justice for Janitors campaign, the comparable worth cases, and the recent work of the Millionaires Tax leading to Proposition 30.
The best thing about this book is that it has no end. It leaves you hanging. It puts the ongoing, unfinished struggle in your hands.
Use this book. Read it and teach the young. Our future will be better if you do.

Founding Fellows
Jacqueline Gahagan
Jacqueline (Jacquie) Gahagan, PhD (Medical Sociology) is a Full Professor of Health Promotion in the Faculty of Health at Dalhousie University. Jacquie holds research associate positions with the European Union Centre of Excellence, the Health Law Institute, the Beatrice Hunter Cancer Research Institute, and the Healthy Populations Institute. Jacquie's program of health promotion research focuses on understanding and addressing health inequities faced among marginalized populations at high risk for poor health outcomes through the development of effective policy and programming interventions. Prior to joining Dalhousie University, Jacquie worked in public health at the municipal, provincial and national levels in relation to harm reduction, HIV/HCV prevention, and tobacco use cessation.
Jacquie has been involved in issues of health equity, advocacy and activism for over three decades with a variety of rights-based and social justice-oriented community-based organizations such as the AIDS Coalition of Nova Scotia, the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network, the Interagency Coalition for AIDS and Development, Stepping Stone, prideHealth, the Youth Project, among others. Jacquie and has been involved in a wide array of service to Dalhousie University, including as a member of the DFA Equity committee, the University Employment Equity Committee, the University Senate, the FGS Faculty Council, numerous faculty search committees, as an academic integrity officer, a member of the health sciences research ethics board, and is a founding member of the Queer Faculty Caucus.
Why does policy matter?
Policy is a major tool used by public health and health promotion disciplines to ensure health equity is reflected in our evidence-based decision-making. Health policy offers an opportunity to better understand how well issues such as access to health care are manifest in our policy directions. There are a wide array of examples of health policies that were, for example, sex and gender blind which is why I am passionate about advancing health equity focused policies through the use of, for example, the Government of Canada SGBA+ framework.
What do you hope to accomplish during your time as a founding fellow?
I am looking forward to moving the policy landscape forward in relation to health equity in, for example, access to primary health, and healthy ageing policies for older LGBTQ adults and innovative housing and health models, programs and policies. I believe that partnering with the MacEachen in these endeavours is crucial to advancing health equity among marginalized populations in Canada.

Anonymous Fights Whale Hunting by Taking Out Icelandic Government Websites
#OpWhales pits eco-minded hackers against one of the biggest whaling nations in the world.

Loosely knit hacker collective Anonymous has been keeping pretty busy lately. In early November, members of the group began leaking the online identities of alleged members of the Ku Klux Klan. Then, after the terrorist attacks in Paris, Anonymous chapters turned their cyber-sights toward ISIS, launching a global effort to expose and curtail the militant group's shadowy digital communications. Now, for the third time in just over a month, members of the hacktivist network have made major waves online, reportedly knocking out a series of government websites in Iceland in protest of that country's ongoing hunting of whales.
On November 25, a video uploaded to an Anonymous-affiliated YouTube channel announced the launch of #OpWhales, a directed online effort to "expose the cruelty behind Iceland [sic] whaling industry."
"Iceland's escalating whale hunts are clear and willful abuses of the IWC's [International Whaling Commission] moratorium, as well as the ban on international commercial trade in whale products," explains the video's masked speaker. "Selling to Japan to fulfill the seemingly insatiable need for whale products. It has even been reported as being made into dog treats." The speaker goes on to accuse Icelandic company Hvalur H/F of slaughtering and selling the meat of more than 500 fin whales for a profit of around $50 million, before calling for "tweet storms to spread awareness" as well as "combined attacks on websites and databases."
The same day the video was posted, Reuters reported a number of Icelandic government websites—including those of the prime minister and the Environmental and Interior ministries—suddenly went dark, allegedly taken down by hackers participating in the #OpWhales initiative. Those sites stayed offline through midafternoon of the next day.
Iceland, while a member of the International Whaling Commission, has not abided by that body's 1986 moratorium on commercial whale hunting, resulting in repeated clashes with the IWC, as well as various anti-whaling organizations.
In addition to the website outages, a resource site created as part of the initiative offers a list of sample tweets meant to raise awareness for the campaign. It also features several pre-written anti-whaling messages that can be sent to members of Iceland's parliament and to companies accused of being linked with Icelandic whaling operations.
"Whales do not have a voice," proclaims the speaker in the Anonymous #OpWhaling video. "We will be a voice for them."

It gives an ordinary dress the chance that it may sing and dance in a musical in Paris today. And that's always a good thing.
There was a small cafuffule with my order. I ordered 2 pieces and my tickled pink necklace accidentally was missed. I sent off a e-mail, received a quick reply apologizing and assuring me it would be sent off right away. I really appreciated the Great customer service!
The necklace is lovelly, such pretty vibrant colours and it is BIG! But the bigger the better!
Love the vibrant colour of this brooch. She is the the unicorn of the sea and one of my favourites.
This little motor car packs a coool punch with its classic style that includes white walled tyres, very classy. Love the selection of resins.
Love this brooch. I was a little worried that the colours would limit what I could wear it with, but in fact he really pops against lots of colours so he stands out nicely!
Just received my tinsel town necklace. Love the hollywood bling. And impressed with the care taken to package the product for shipping.
