About Don Henley
Donald Hugh Henley (born July 22, 1947) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, record producer and founding member of the Eagles. He was the drummer and co-lead vocalist for the Eagles from 1971 until the band broke up in 1980, and has reprised those duties for the group's reunions since 1994. Henley sang the lead vocals on Eagles hits such as "Witchy Woman", "Desperado", "Best of My Love", "One of These Nights", "Hotel California", "Life in the Fast Lane", "The Long Run" and "Get Over It".
After the Eagles broke up in 1980, Henley pursued a solo career and released his debut album I Can't Stand Still, in 1982. He has released five studio albums, two compilation albums, and one live DVD. His solo hits include "Dirty Laundry", "The Boys of Summer", "All She Wants to Do Is Dance", "The Heart of the Matter", "The Last Worthless Evening", "Sunset Grill", "Not Enough Love in the World", and "The End of the Innocence".
The Eagles have sold over 150 million albums worldwide, won six Grammy Awards, had five number-one singles, 17 top-40 singles, and six number-one albums. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 and are the highest-selling American band in history. As a solo artist, Henley has sold over 10 million albums worldwide, had eight top-40 singles, won two Grammy Awards and five MTV Video Music Awards. Combined with the Eagles and as a solo artist, Henley has released 25 top-40 singles on the Billboard Hot 100. He has also released seven studio albums with the Eagles and five as a solo artist. In 2008, he was ranked as the 87th-greatest singer of all time by Rolling Stone magazine.[2]
Henley has also played a founding role in several environmental and political causes, most notably the Walden Woods Project.[3] From 1994 to 2016, he divided his musical activities between the Eagles and his solo career.
Donald Hugh Henley was born in Gilmer and grew up in the small northeast Texas town of Linden.[4][5] He is the son of Hughlene (McWhorter) and C. J. Henley.[6] He has Irish, English and Scottish ancestry. Henley attended Linden-Kildare High School where he initially played football, but due to his relatively small build his coach suggested that he quit, and he joined the high school band instead. He first played the trombone, then in the percussion section.[7] After leaving high school in 1965, he initially attended college at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas. He then attended North Texas State University (renamed in 1988 as the University of North Texas) in Denton, Texas, from 1967 to 1969. Henley left school to spend time with his father, who was dying of heart and arterial disease.[8]
Career beginnings
While still at high school, Henley was asked to join a Dixieland band formed by his childhood friend Richard Bowden's father Elmer, together with another school friend Jerry Surratt. They then formed a band called the Four Speeds.[7][9] In 1964 the band was renamed Felicity, then finally Shiloh, and went through a number of changes in band personnel.[10][11] As Felicity they were signed to a local producer and released a Henley-penned song called "Hurtin'".[12] In 1969, they met by chance fellow Texan Kenny Rogers who took an interest in their band. They changed their name to Shiloh and recorded a few songs for Rogers, and "Jennifer (O' My Lady)" was released as their first single.[13] Surratt however died in a dirt bike accident just before their single was released, and the band members then became Henley, Richard Bowden and his cousin Michael Bowden, Al Perkins, and Jim Ed Norman. Rogers helped sign the band to Amos Records, and brought the band to Los Angeles in June 1970. They recorded a self-titled album produced by Rogers at Larrabee Studios, while living at the home of Rogers for a few months.[14] Shiloh disbanded in 1971 over the band's leadership and creative differences between Henley and Bowden.[15]
In Los Angeles, Henley met Glenn Frey as they were both signed to the same label (Frey was signed to Amos Records, together with J. D. Souther, as the duo Longbranch Pennywhistle), and they were recruited by John Boylan to be members of Linda Ronstadt's backup band for her tour in 1971. Touring with her was the catalyst for forming a group, as Henley and Frey decided to form their own band.[16] They were joined by Randy Meisner and Bernie Leadon who also played in Ronstadt's backing band (the four however had played together only once before as the band personnel changed) and became the Eagles.[17]
The Eagles were formed in 1971,[18] and signed to David Geffen's label Asylum Records.[19] They released their first studio album in 1972, which contained the hit song "Take It Easy," co-written by Jackson Browne. During the band's run, Henley co-wrote (usually with Frey) most of the band's best-known songs.[17] "Witchy Woman", which was co-written with Leadon, was his first commercially successful song,[20] while "Desperado" marks the beginning of his songwriting partnership with Frey.[21]
Henley sang lead vocals on many of the band's popular songs, including "Desperado," "Witchy Woman," "Best of My Love," "One of These Nights", "Hotel California", "The Long Run", "Life in the Fast Lane" and "Wasted Time." The Eagles won numerous Grammy Awards during the 1970s and became one of the world's most successful rock bands of all time.[22] They are also among the top 5 overall best-selling bands of all time in America and the highest selling American band in U.S. history.[23] Henley and Frey have been called the American version of McCartney and Lennon.[24]
The band broke up in 1980, following a difficult tour and personal tensions that arose during the recording of The Long Run. The Eagles reunited 14 years later in 1994. Henley continues to tour and record with the Eagles. Their most recent album, Long Road Out of Eden, was released in 2007.[25] The band had a number of highly successful tours, such as the Hell Freezes Over Tour (1994-1996), and Long Road Out of Eden Tour. On April 1, 2013, during a concert at the Casino Rama in Rama, Ontario, Henley announced the History of the Eagles Tour, which began in July 2013[26] and ended in July 2015, six months before Frey's death. At the 2016 Grammy Awards, the Eagles and Jackson Browne performed "Take It Easy" as a tribute to Frey.[27]
On his songwriting in the band, Henley stated in a March 2001 interview on Charlie Rose that "rock bands work best as a benevolent dictatorship," with the principal songwriters in a band (in the case of the Eagles, "me and Glenn Frey") being the ones that will likely hold the power.[28]
Solo career
Following the breakup of the Eagles, Henley embarked on a solo career. He and Stevie Nicks (his girlfriend at the time) had duetted on her Top 10 Pop and Adult Contemporary hit "Leather and Lace",[29] written by Nicks for Waylon Jennings and his wife Jessi Colter, in late 1981. Henley's first solo album, I Can't Stand Still, was a moderate seller. The single "Dirty Laundry" reached No. 3 on Billboard Hot 100 at the beginning of 1983 and earned a Gold-certified single for sales of over a million copies in the US.[30] It was Henley's all-time biggest solo hit single, and also was nominated for a Grammy Award. Henley also contributed "Love Rules" to the 1982 Fast Times at Ridgemont High movie soundtrack.[31]
This was followed in 1984 by the album, Building the Perfect Beast. A single release, "The Boys of Summer", reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.[32] The music video for the song was directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino and won several MTV Video Music Awards including Best Video of the Year. Henley also won the Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for the song.[33] Several other songs on the album, "All She Wants to Do Is Dance" (No. 9 on Hot 100), "Not Enough Love in the World" (No. 34) and "Sunset Grill" (No. 22) also received considerable airplay. He then had a No. 3 album rock chart hit with "Who Owns This Place?" from 1986's The Color of Money soundtrack.[34]
Henley's next album, 1989's The End of the Innocence, was even more successful. The album's title track, a collaboration with Bruce Hornsby, reached No. 8 as a single. "The Heart of the Matter", "The Last Worthless Evening" and "New York Minute" were among other songs that gained radio airplay.[35][36] Henley again won the Best Male Rock Vocal Performance Grammy Award in 1990 for "The End of the Innocence".[37] Also in 1990, Henley made a brief appearance on MTV's Unplugged series.[38]
In 1995 Henley released the single "The Garden of Allah" to promote his greatest hits solo album Actual Miles: Henley's Greatest Hits.[39]
MusicRadar called Henley one of the greatest singing drummers of all time.[40]
In live shows, Henley plays drums and sings simultaneously on some Eagles songs.[40] On his solo songs and other Eagles songs, he plays electric guitar and simultaneously sings or just sings solo. Occasionally Eagles songs would get drastic rearrangements, such as "Hotel California" with four trombones.[41][42]
On June 25, 2019, The New York Times Magazine listed Henley among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire.[43]
Lawsuits with Geffen Records
Henley spent many years in legal entanglements with Geffen Records. In January 1993, following prolonged tensions between Henley and the label, the dispute went public and the record company filed a $30-million breach-of-contract suit in the Superior Court after receiving a notice from Henley saying that he was terminating his contract even though he reportedly owed the company two more studio albums and a greatest-hits collection.[44] Henley wanted to sign a publishing deal with EMI that would have been worth a few million dollars. Geffen Records stopped this from happening, which in turn upset Henley.[44]
Geffen Records claimed that Henley was in breach of contract and Henley attempted to get out of his contract in 1993 based on an old statute. Under the statute, a California law enacted over 50 years ago to free actors from long-term studio deals, entertainers cannot be forced to work for any company for more than seven years. Geffen Records did not want Henley signing with any other label, and had an agreement from Sony and EMI that they would not sign Henley. He counter-sued Geffen Records, claiming that he was "blackballed" by David Geffen, who had made agreements with other record labels not to sign him.[44] Henley eventually became an outspoken advocate for musicians' rights, taking a stand against music labels who he believes refuse to pay bands their due royalties. Henley came to terms with Geffen Records when the Eagles' reunion took off and the company eventually took a large chunk of the profit from the reunion album. Glenn Frey was also in legal entanglements with his label, MCA Records (whose parent company had also acquired Geffen).[45] Before the Eagles reunion tour could begin, the band had to file a suit against Elektra Records, which had planned to release a new Eagles Greatest Hits album. The band won that battle.[46]
A long period without a new recording followed, as Henley waited out a dispute with his record company while also participating in a 1994 Eagles reunion tour and live album. During the hiatus, Henley recorded a cover of "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat" for the film Leap of Faith, and provided the background vocals for country star Trisha Yearwood's hit single "Walkaway Joe",[47] and duetted with Patty Smyth on "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough",[48] and Roger Waters on "Watching TV" on Waters' Amused to Death album, in 1992.[49] Henley provided the voice of Henry Faust in Randy Newman's Faust, a 1993 musical which was released on compact disc that year.[50]
Henley and Courtney Love testified at a California Senate hearing on that state's contractual laws in Sacramento on September 5, 2001. In 2002 Henley became the head of the Recording Artists' Coalition. The coalition's primary aim was to raise money to mount a legal and political battle against the major record labels.[51] Henley says the group seeks to change the fundamental rules that govern most recording contracts, including copyright ownership, long-term control of intellectual property and unfair accounting practices. This group filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the Napster case,[52] urging District Judge Marilyn Hall Patel not to accept the industry's broad claims of works made for hire authorship.[53]
Inside Job and recent solo work
Don Henley in 2000
In 2000, after 11 years, Henley released another solo album named Inside Job which peaked at number 7 on The Billboard 200 and contained the new singles "Taking You Home", "Everything Is Different Now", "Workin' It" and "For My Wedding".[54] He performed songs from the album in a VH1 Storytellers episode during 2000. In 2002 a live DVD entitled Don Henley: Live Inside Job was released. In 2005 Henley opened 10 of Stevie Nicks' concerts on her Two Voices Tour.[55]
Henley performed duets with Kenny Rogers on Rogers' 2006 release Water & Bridges, titled "Calling Me"[56][57] and on Reba McEntire's 2007 album, Reba: Duets, performing "Break Each Other's Hearts Again".[58]
In a 2007 interview with CNN, while discussing the future of the Eagles, Henley indicated he still has plans for more records: "But we all have some solo plans still. I still have a contract with a major label [Warner] for a couple of solo albums."[59] In January 2011, Henley commenced work on a solo album of country covers featuring special guests. Ronnie Dunn from Brooks & Dunn and Alison Krauss have recorded a song with Henley for the album.[60]
On July 18, 2015, Henley started pre-orders of his album, Cass County. The album was released on September 25.
Henley was honored with the "Lifetime Achievement" award during the East Texas Music Awards event in 2015.
Political and other causes
In 1990, Henley founded the Walden Woods Project to help protect "Walden Woods" from development. The Thoreau Institute at Walden Woods was started in 1998 to provide for research and education regarding Henry David Thoreau. In 1993, a compilation album titled Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles was released, with a portion of the royalties from the sales going to the Walden Woods Project. In 2005, he had a fundraiser concert with Elton John and others to buy Brister's Hill,[61] part of Walden Woods, and turn it into a hiking trail.[citation needed]
Henley co-founded the non-profit Caddo Lake Institute in 1993 with Dwight K. Shellman to underwrite ecological education and research. As part of the Caddo Lake Coalition, CLI helps protect the Texas wetland where Henley spent much of his childhood. As a result of the Caddo Lake Institute's success in restoring and protecting Caddo Lake's wetlands, Caddo Lake was included as the 13th site in the United States on the Ramsar Convention's list of significant wetlands. The Ramsar Convention is an intergovernmental treaty that provides a framework for national action and international cooperation for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources.[62]
In 2000, Henley co-founded the Recording Artists' Coalition, a group founded to protect musicians' rights against common music industry business practices. In this role he testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary in 2001[63] and the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation in 2003.[64]
Henley in a 2008 interview revealed that he contributes to many other worthy charitable causes such as The Race to Erase MS, and the Rhythm and Blues Foundation.[65][66] He is also a member of the CuriosityStream Advisory Board.[67]
A lifelong supporter of the Democratic Party, Henley has also been a generous donor to political campaigns of Democrats. In 2008, The Washington Post reported Henley had donated over $680,000 to political candidates since 1978.[68] Several tracks on the 2007 Eagles album Long Road Out of Eden (including the title track, which Henley co-wrote) are sharply critical of the Iraq War and other policies of the Bush administration.[69]
In 1974, Henley became involved with Loree Rodkin, and the breakup of their relationship was the inspiration for the song "Wasted Time" and parts of the lyrics for "Hotel California".[70][71] Late in 1975, Henley started dating Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks as her relationship with Lindsey Buckingham came to an end.[72] The relationship lasted on and off for around two years. Nicks later wrote a song "Sara" that Henley claimed was about their unborn child.[73] Henley then began a three-year-long relationship with actress/model and Bond girl Lois Chiles.[74]
Henley called paramedics to his home on November 21, 1980, where a 16-year-old girl was found naked and claiming she had overdosed on quaaludes and cocaine. She was arrested for prostitution, while a 15-year-old girl found in the house was arrested for being under the influence of drugs. Henley was arrested and subsequently charged for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He pled no contest, was fined $2,500 and put on two years' probation. Chiles, who was no longer in a relationship with Henley at the time of the incident, later said, "I was shocked to hear about it. He didn't have drugs around the house. It was an accident, I'm sure." The media attention from this incident was primary among the inspirations for the solo hit, "Dirty Laundry."[74]
In the early 1980s, Henley was engaged to Battlestar Galactica actress Maren Jensen. His first solo album (I Can't Stand Still) is dedicated to Jensen, who also sings harmony vocals on the song, "Johnny Can't Read." Henley and Jensen separated in 1986.[75]
In 1995, Henley married Sharon Summerall.[76] Performers at the wedding included Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Billy Joel, John Fogerty, Jackson Browne, Sheryl Crow, Glenn Frey, and Tony Bennett. Henley later wrote the song "Everything Is Different Now" from the album Inside Job for Sharon. Summerall has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.[77] They have three children together, two girls and a boy.
In 2012, Henley was estimated to be the fourth-wealthiest drummer in the world, behind Ringo Starr, Phil Collins and Dave Grohl, with a $200 million fortune.[78]
As of 2019, he resides in Dallas, Texas, with his wife and three children. Henley also maintains a home in Hollywood, California.

Democracy's
Democracy's Path Forward is a new national initiative designed to connect and harness the power of the American public's voice, by tapping into hundreds of local, state and national efforts. Through inclusive and non-partisan, digital and in-person platforms, our goal is to amplify and combine that public voice as a means to heal our present, honor the roots of our past, and choose our future.
These are very fractured times in the history of our nation. Many feel that we are on the edge of being ripped asunder as a divided nation faces issues of real consequence: the painful legacy of racial injustice; increasing social and economic disparities; a woman's right to live and work free from sexual assault or intimidation; immigration and its impact on families and our nation; making space for all sexual orientations and gender identities; and the growing separation between urban and rural life - to name just a few. These fractures are showing up in alarming ways – from large portions of our population who are convinced that differences in core values and political ideology make us "enemies," to embattled politicians whose inability to work together holds hostage the most basic government functions; to actual violence erupting between groups on opposite sides of these divides.
Yet as painful as these fractures feel, they are not the primary challenge facing America today. Our primary challenge is reminding each other that it is possible for our complex population to lean into and work through these fractures - together. The roots of democracy run deep in our nation. The United States Constitution, despite its contextual challenges, continues to offer us a vision and set of principles that bind us together for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The challenge before all Americans, then, is to come together in peaceful struggle to develop a sense of shared vision to carry us into a stronger future for each of us individually and for our nation as a whole.
All over the country, efforts are underway for the public to engage in this peaceful struggle– from "Dreamers" re-defining the meaning of legal status, to resurgent voices from rural and manufacturing communities to the #MeToo and Time's Up movements to women's safety and voice, to the new Poor People's Campaign, calling for a moral revival to combat inequity. More and more movements and voices are adding to this call to re-shape what democracy looks like in America. It's time to amplify and make THESE the voices that are shaping our future.
Below is our concept paper and seed campaign overview.
Democracy's Path Forward is actively reaching out to the partners needed to build, expand and sustain a flexible, nimble network to carry out these efforts. Resource partners will support network development, acquisition or creation of technology and community dialogues/engagements needed to amplify and project the American public's voice. Democracy's Path Forward is designed to exist side-by-side with and add value to projects that participating networks and their members are already doing. A wide range of community partners will allow Democracy's Path Forward to connect with people all over the country in as wide and deep a manner as possible.
The time is now, the need is great. Your ideas and support are critical.

Flawless Oatmeal Soap, So Yummy for Your Skin!
Normally it's beauty blogs that write about beauty and wellness products. Well, I'll give it a shot because I'm so in love with this soap I discovered through my mom who bought tons over the weekend. As the title suggests, I'm going to review about an oatmeal based skin product. I must say I'm really allergic to soaps but this one suits my skin type really well.
The Flawless Oatmeal Soap, as the name said, it is an oatmeal-based soap that helps exfoliate dead skin cells and moisturizes the skin. The smell is really yummy and nice, it has that milky plus oatmeal smell that you will feel like biting the soap to taste if it's delicious - but of course, I don't recommend you doing that. You'll end up with bubbles in your mouth.
My face tends to have break out's every time I try new products on my face, most of the time I would just end up throwing the products away. So here's what my face looks like after a busy day, yes it oily.
Research shows that men's face is 15% (or more!) oilier than those of women. I'm already on my 4th day on trying this soap and I must say its really wonderful and help reduce the oiliness on my face and it smells so good.
Check out the soap, it has big bits of oatmeals that act as natural exfoliants that gently scrub your face without harming or causing too much abrasion that can result in irritation on the skin or worse pimples!
After a good scrubbing, Here is what my face looked like - don't mind the large forehead. Fresh and doesn't look like I braced the rush hour MRT battle. It's like getting a face cleaning session at Flawless without going all the way to Flawless.
I don't know why but every time I use this soap, my face feels stretched, my mom also feels the same thing when She uses her own Flawless Oatmeal Soap. Here is the comparison my face before and after using the soap.
I will continue using this and also try the other soap from Flawless. If you're planning to get one, it sells for 140php and can be bought at your nearest Flawless Face & Body Clinic Nationwide.
for more information about their products & services.
Yes! It's the good kind though and I also love the smell!


On Tuesday, March 20, twenty-one Pace undergraduate and M.S. in Publishing students walked through a set of glass doors into Hachette Book Group's New York city office. The event was coordinated by Maria Pesantez, Pace University's Assistant Director of Employer Relations (Career Services) and Jane Kinney-Denning, the M.S. in Publishing program's Executive Director of Internships and Corporate Outreach.
Glancing excitedly at employee photos and a huge neon "H" that illuminates dozens of HBG titles, the group was welcomed to the "Big 5" publisher by Human Resources Recruiter Ashley Orlando. In a conference room off the main lobby, students were introduced to HBG's intern recruiting process, encouraged to pursue a career in book marketing by M.S. in Publishing alumnus Miguel Cervantes (now the Marketing Coordinator of Hachette's PublicAffairs and Nation Books imprints), and treated to a panel discussion with HBG's Senior Management team, where publishers and editors discussed their greatest achievements, their biggest fears, and the jobs they would have chosen had they not gone into publishing (how else does "training sea otters" come up in casual conversation?).
Hachette Book Group (HBG) is a leading trade publisher in the U.S. home to a number of big-name imprints like Little, Brown and Company, Grand Central Publishing, and Perseus Books. A division of the third largest trade and educational book publisher in the world, Hachette Livre, HBG publishes 2,000 books for adults and young readers each year and employs 500 people in the city alone. The publisher also has a recording studio in-house, as audiobooks are now the "fastest growing segment" of the digital publishing industry.
When it comes to recruiting, Orlando looks for specific, well-written cover letters, creatively-formatted resumes, thank-you notes after interviews, and, of course, enthusiasm for the industry.

Miguel Cervantes has been a Marketing Coordinator within Perseus Books since 2016. His primary responsibilities include writing and executing marketing plans, creating sales conference presentations, coordinating marketing timelines, and managing seasonal catalogs.
Cervantes is no stranger to Pace University. In addition to graduating from the publishing program in 2014, he was a frequent guest-lecturer in Professor Lian's Marketing Principles and Practices class last fall. His main challenge is making books more compelling than TV.
Cervantes recommends students look into marketing when applying for publishing internships, as marketing is a less competitive field than editorial. Knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite is a definite plus, and while coding experience is definite plus, it's generally not required.
To the delight of everyone in attendance, HBG invited members of its senior management team to speak at the event. Panelists included Lara Heimert, Publisher of Basic Books; Alvina Ling, VP, Editor-in-Chief of Little, Brown Young Readers; Rena Kornbluh, Vice President, Executive Managing Editor of HBG; Susan Weinberg, Senior Vice President and Publisher for Perseus Books; Josh Kendall, Executive Editor, VP, Editorial Director of Mulholland Books; Ned Rust, Vice President and Publisher for James Patterson; and Nancy Wiese, VP, Subsidiary Rights at Hachette Book Group. Clive Priddle, Publisher of Public Affairs, moderated the discussion.
Thank you for having us, Hachette Book Group!

British Theatre Association
British Theatre Association, also called (1919–73) British Drama League, organization founded in 1919 for the encouragement of the art of the theatre, both for its own sake and as a means of intelligent recreation among all classes of the community. It ceased operations in 1990.
The founder of the British Drama League, Geoffrey Whitworth, was its first secretary and later became its first director and chairman of the council. From its inception, the work of the association was mainly among amateur groups, helping them by advice, information, tuition, and the loan of books to improve their standards of production. Its library, started with a gift of books from the theatre manager Annie Horniman, became an important theatrical collection. The association also urged the establishment of national theatre policy, the establishment of drama departments at the universities, and a place for drama in the school curriculum. The organization founded the journal Drama in 1919.

Short-term memory: Recently learned information often for immediate use, such as phone numbers. We usually remember just long enough to dial or write it down for later. Information we don't need beyond a single use is removed to make room for new, more relevant memories.
Long-Term Memory: This includes personal information like your name and address, as well as common, over-learned tasks. In contrast to short-term memories, these are not easily purged or lost and we have a much larger storage capacity for long-term memories.
We remember in a 3-step process. Knowing the steps may help us understand how a break-down occurs for us or a loved one. We can then target those processes for improvement.
Consolidation: Strengthening new, short-term memories over a period of weeks or months which allows them to be transferred to long-term memory.
Retrieval: Recalling information. The length of time it takes to retrieve a memorydepends on our familiarity with the topic and the complexity of the memory.
It is helpful to know what normal memory "glitches" are and when to be concerned if more serious problems exist. The question is best addressed on a 1:1 basis with your doctor but there are some characteristics of typical memory loss over the course of a healthy lifespan.
Transience: Gradual loss of memories that have not been accessed for a long period of time.
Forgetfulness or lack of focus: Difficulty concentrating makes for poorer conditions under which to create new memories or retrieve established memories.
"Tip of the Tongue" syndrome: You know you know, but can't retrieve a memory just when you need it, especially in conversations or when there is an imposed time limit.
Bias: Memories become increasingly colored by personal experiences and biases as we age.
Misattribution: Accurately recalling some part of an event, but reporting other distorted details. We may remember a famous quotation but quote the wrong speaker. We may share an idea that we are sure is our own, but that we actually read somewhere. The likelihood of misattribution increases as more time passes between the event and retrieval of the memory.
One cause of non-typical memory loss is dementia (progressive deterioration of memory over time; usually does not occur before 60); Alzheimer's disease is one type of dementia. Traumatic head injury, stroke and other neurological illnesses (MS, brain tumors, Lyme disease, etc.) may produce memory loss. Thyroid dysfunction or Vitamin B12 deficiency can effect memory skills. Importantly, life style patterns of behavior (lack of sleep or poor sleep, lack of exercise, limited cognitive stimulation, stress and depression) may produce memory problems.
Make adequate sleep a priority. Boththe quantity and quality of sleep are important.
Keep your mind active. This might include discussions, reading, puzzles, brain- teasers, or classes. Learning new challenging information is esp. good "brain food".
Keep your body active. Regular exercise is more vital than intense exercise—everyday!
Talk to your doctor about medications or vitamins that might be appropriate, particularly as they relate to memory loss.
Reduce stress. Try exercise, meditation, counseling, music, quiet time or any activity that calms you. Avoid people and situations that cause unresolved stress or frustration.
Keep a day-planner or electronic organizer with daily/weekly/monthly tasks to be done. Add vital contact information so that everything you need is in one location.
Keep all emergency and personal information and important documents in a file cabinet with clear categories and labels. Clean out the outdated material regularly.
Designate a location that is logical to you and centrally located for easily misplaced items such as keys or a cell phone. Use it every time, all the time!
Eliminate background noise and visual distractions; control group settings.
Don't "multi-task"! It is rarely effective under even the best of conditions.
Repeat a speaker's message aloud by paraphrasing to confirm the meaning.
Advocate for yourself. Ask others to repeat or clarify and find quiet, stress-free environments in which to interact with them.
Associate: When learning something new, immediately ask yourself how it relates to your life or something you already know. Attaching new information to long-term knowledge and memories increases the likelihood it will be retrieved later.
Chunk New Information: This strategy is often used for phone #s. We "chunk" the area code or familiar exchanges (first 3 #s) in our local area. The technique is applicable to other tasks as well. When planning personal errands, "chunk" tasks by location rather than trying to remember an unrelated string of things to do.
Repeat: Consecutively repeating information several times is one way to remember facts or details. It focuses our attention and may even strengthen the brain connections for that information. Re-phrasing aloud may also be helpful in retaining it.
Write it Down: This is a compensatory strategy which allows us to refer back to important plans and ideas. The actual act of writing helps form stronger memories. Some people also use portable recording devices to help store and remember "spur-of-the-moment" thoughts.

Q: cuda occupancy calculator i used --ptax-options=-v while compiling my .cu code, it gave the following:
ptxas info: Used 74 registers, 124 bytes smem, 16 bytes cmem[1]

devQuery for my card returns the following:
rev:  2.0
name: tesla c2050
total shared memory per block: 49152
total reg. per block: 32768

now, i input these data into cuda occupancy calculator as follows:
1.) 2.0
1.b) 49152
2.) threads per block: x
    registers per thread: 74
    shared memory per block (bytes): 124

i was varying the x (threads per block) so that x*74<=32768. for example, i enter 128 (or 256) in place of x. Am I entering all the required values by occupancy calculator correctly? thanks.

A: ptxas-options=--verbose (or -v) produces output of the format
ptxas : info : Compiling entry function '_Z13matrixMulCUDAILi16EEvPfS0_S0_ii' for 'sm_10'
ptxas : info : Used 15 registers, 2084 bytes smem, 12 bytes cmem[1]

The critical information is

*

*1st line has the target architecture

*2nd line has <Registers Per Thread>, <Static Shared Memory Per Block>, <Constant Memory Per Kernel>
When you fill in the occupancy calculator

*

*Set field 1.) Select Compute Capability to 'sm_10' in the above example

*Set field 2.) Register Per Thread to

*Set field 2.) Share Memory Per Block to  + DynamicSharedMemoryPerBlock passed as 3rd parameter to <<<GridDim, BlockDim, DynamicSharedMemoryPerBlock, Stream>>>
The Occupancy Calculator Help tab contains additional information.
In your example I believe you are not correctly setting field 1 as Fermi architecture is limited to 63 Registers Per Thread. sm_1* supports a limit of 124 Registers Per Thread.

By now, you may be asking yourself, "Just how does the 1925 Tri-State Tornado compare with other tornadoes in recorded history?" To answer this question, we have compiled some interesting comparative tornado statistics and organized them in the following tables. Most of this information was derived from the book Significant Tornadoes by Thomas P. Grazulis. If you are in any way interested in tornado history, this book would be well worth your time to check into!

* Indicates that these tracks may have been due to a family of tornadoes instead of one single tornado. Some researchers argue that the Tri-State Tornado may have also been a family of tornadoes.
Each year, roughly 1000 tornadoes strike the United States. Although no area is immune to tornadic activity, most tornadoes are found in the Central and Southern Plains states of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. U.S. tornadoes usually occur in the spring and summer months, but they can occur at any time of the year. For instance, a secondary tornado maximum is found across the southern states in the fall.
Tornadoes are most likely to strike between 3 and 9 p.m. but have been documented at all hours of the day and night. Tornadoes usually move from southwest to northeast, but they have been known to move in any direction. The average forward speed is 30 mph but may vary from nearly stationary to 70 mph.
Because of the highly erratic nature of these vicious storms, it is imperative that you and your family are prepared in case such a storm does occur. The following guidelines developed through a cooperative effort between NOAA's National Weather Service (NWS), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the American Red Cross will help you to develop a plan of action in the event a tornado approaches or a warning is issued for your area.
Before the storm...
Develop a plan for you and your family for home, work, school, and when outdoors.
Have frequent drills.
Know the county/parish in which you live, and keep a highway map nearby to follow storm movement from weather bulletins.
Have a NOAA Weather Radio with SAME capability, a warning alarm tone, and battery back-up to receive warnings.
Listen to radio and television broadcasts for information.
If planning a trip outdoors, listen to the latest forecasts and take necessary action if hazardous weather is possible.
Realize the difference between a watch and a warning. A Tornado WATCH means that tornadoes are possible in and close to the watch area. Remain alert to changing weather conditions. A Tornado WARNING means that a tornado has been sighted by trained spotters or strongly indicated by Doppler radar.
If a warning is issued or if hazardous weather approaches...
In a home or building, move to a pre-designated shelter, such as a basement.
If an underground shelter is not available, move to an interior room or hallway on the lowest floor and get under a sturdy piece of furniture.
Stay away from windows.
Get out of automobiles.
Do not try to outrun a tornado in your car; instead, leave it immediately.
If caught outside or in a vehicle, lie flat in a nearby ditch or depression.
Mobile homes, even if tied down, offer little protection from tornadoes and should be abandoned.
Tornado safety in schools...
Develop a severe weather action plan and have frequent drills.
Each school should be inspected and tornado shelter areas designated by a registered engineer or architect. Basements offer the best protection. Schools without basements should use interior rooms and hallways on the lowest floor and away from windows.
Those responsible for activating the plan should monitor weather information from NOAA Weather Radio and local radio/television broadcasts.
If the school's alarm system relies on electricity, have a compressed air horn or megaphone to activate the alarm in case of power failure.
Make special provisions for disabled students and those in portable classrooms.
Make sure someone knows how to turn off electricity and gas in the event the school is damaged.
Keep children at school beyond regular hours if hazardous weather is expected. Children are safer at school than in a bus or car. Students should not be sent home early if severe weather is approaching.
Lunches or assemblies in large rooms should be delayed if severe weather is anticipated. Gymnasiums, cafeterias, auditoriums, and other buildings with large free-span roofs offer no protection from tornadic winds.
Move students quickly into interior rooms or hallways on the lowest floor. Have them stoop to the floor on their knees with their head low to the ground and sheltered by their hands.
Hospitals, nursing homes, factories, shopping centers, and other public institutions should develop a similar plan.
From tornadoes to floods, hurricanes, winter storms, earthquakes, and fires, preparation for natural disasters sometimes means the difference between life and death. NOAA's National Weather Service (NWS), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the American Red Cross urge you to develop a family disaster plan. Here are some general steps that you can take to make sure you and your family are prepared for whatever nature sends your way.
STEP 1: Gather information about hazards. Contact your local National Weather Service office, emergency management agency, and American Red Cross chapter. Find out what type of disasters could occur and how you should respond. Learn your community's warning signals and evacuation plans.
STEP 2: Meet with your family to create a plan. Discuss the information you have gathered. Pick two places to meet: a spot outside your home for an emergency, and a place away from your neighborhood in case you cannot return home. Choose an out-of-state friend as your "family check-in contact" for everyone to call if the family gets separated. Discuss what you would do if advised to evacuate.
STEP 3: Implement your plan.
Obtain a NOAA Weather Radio from your local electronics store.
Post emergency telephone numbers by phones.
Install safety features in your house, such as smoke detectors and fire extinguishers.
Inspect your home for potential hazards (such as items than can move, fall, break, or catch fire) and correct them.
Have your family learn basic safety measures, such as CPR and first aid, how to use a fire extinguisher, and how to and when to turn off water, gas, and electricity in your home.
Teach children how and when to call 911 or your local Emergency Medical Services number.
Keep enough supplies in your home to meet your needs for at least three (3) days. Assemble a disaster supplies kit with items you may need in case of an evacuation. Store these supplies in sturdy, easy-to-carry containers, such as backpacks or duffel bags. Keep important family documents in a waterproof container. Keep a smaller disaster supplies kit in the trunk of your car.
The disaster supplies kit should include: a 3-day supply of water (1 gallon per person per day) and food that will not spoil; one change of clothing and footwear per person; one blanket or sleeping bag per person; a first-aid kit including prescription medicines; emergency tools including a battery-powered NOAA Weather Radio and a portable radio, flashlight, and plenty of extra batteries; an extra set of car keys and cash; special items for infant, elderly, or disabled family members.
STEP 4: Practice and maintain your plan. Ask questions to make sure your family remembers meeting places, phone numbers, and safety rules. Conduct drills. Test your Weather Radio monthly using the local test tone broadcast by the National Weather Service every Wednesday between the hours of 11 a.m. and noon local time. Test your Weather Radio and smoke detectors monthly and change the batteries at least once a year. Test and recharge your fire extinguisher(s) according to manufacturer's instructions. Replace stored water and food every six months.
Remember that in coping with natural disasters, those who are well-prepared and have a plan of action are the most likely to survive! Contact your local NOAA/NWS office, emergency management agency, or local chapter of the American Red Cross for more information.

Romping and Rolling in the Rockies: Bear Buddies Playing!
Today I have a surprising and fun bear story.
Before I knew the story, I saw this photo on the tiny LCD screen of my trail camera. My mind said "Isn't that odd? Mating season should be over but a pair of bears were together recently."
Then, the video showed some posturing as the smaller bear appeared to be trying to block the bigger bear's way as he walked onward. The bigger bear rotated his head away from the smaller one in a way that reminded me of our dogs when they are about to play.
Then, the pair walked out of view of this camera.
Fortunately, they stayed on the normal bear route and another trail camera picked them up further down the trail. The smaller bear arrived first.
Then, when the bigger bear arrived, the two stood on their hind paws and were clearly playing. Moreover, I was able to see on the video that they both were male bears!
They seemed to play like a pair of buddies. The bigger bear rapidly took control and wrestled the smaller bear to the ground.
This was a case of my first impression being completely wrong. Bear researchers have occasionally observed groups 2 or even 3 male bears hanging out together during the summer, after mating season has ended. However, I'd never seen it until now.
I feel very lucky to have captured this footage of bears being social and playful!
Hard to believe something so big can be so cute, but the are!
I can't believe how well I can hear the trees rustling while they walk and play, just like dogs. LOVE IT!!! I just had my heart melted at baby cows in Africa and a dog sleeping on a donkey in Ireland and now two bears a playin... happiness fills my heart.
Love it! As bears have been spotted near us, I am glad to have followed your blog for so long because I am feeling more cautious then fearful. I thank you for that!
What extraordinary footage. They are so cute. Isn't it amazing to know that wild animals still play?
Brothers from different years? Father and son? or just buddies having fun? This is so wonderful,I had no idea they would play like this.
They do look like they're enjoying themselves. Incredible footage. Maybe they're relatives or just feeling safe and secure.
Loved this video KB,, they were defiantly having fun!
You think they might be brothers?
What a fun capture with your cameras!!
The Wonder of Watching Bears Swim!
Autumn has snuck up on us!
A cute bear cub with a unique fur style!


Learning how to invest your money is a wonderful way for you to take control of your financial future.
Be sure to write down your goals and always keep those in mind as you invest.
Goals may include supplementing your retirement income, saving for a house, or starting your own business.
What your goals are and the time frame you have for achieving them will guide your investment strategy.
Knowing which type of investment is right for you requires you to think about how much of a chance you are able and willing to take with your money (your "risk tolerance") and weighing that against your potential for return.
Make sure that your investments are diversified, which means that they are in many different areas, so that if any one investment is doing poorly, your entire portfolio of investments doesn't suffer.
Savings account – A savings account has very low risk, but you typically earn less money (a lower interest rate).
Bonds – Bonds are another low-risk, smaller-reward choice. You loan money to a government or company, who issues you a bond promising to repay you at a fixed rate of interest on a specific date.
Stocks – By purchasing stock in a company, you are actually buying part ownership of that company. You purchase the stock at the market price for that day. You can contact a financial advisor for additional information about investing in the stock market.
Mutual funds – A great way to achieve diversification is to purchase mutual funds. A mutual fund invests in many different areas and is handled by a professional fund manager. As an investor, you purchase shares in a mutual fund like you would with stocks.
Going to a financial planner can be a good way to find out information about investing for your future. Some banks offer free financial planning for a minimum investment.

Introducing BBC Wales' Back to Work Winners Nia Morgan & Fiona Calvert
August 11, 2015 @ 2:40 pm Posted in News Comments
We're delighted to announce that Drama Asst Production Coordinator Nia Morgan from Cardiff, and Factual PD Fiona Calvert from Bristol are the next of our Media Parents GEITF Back to Work Scheme winners. Both will be mentored by BBC Wales employees, to be announced, and Fiona Calvert will attend the Edinburgh TV Festival.
Drama Coordinator Nia Morgan http://www.mediaparents.co.uk/freelancers/11444/nia-morgan
Nia Morgan, Drama Production Coordinator
Since 2010 I have worked for a fantastic company called Tidy Productions mainly on a show called Stella (Sky 1). I started as a Production Assistant and they slowly gave me more responsibility becoming a Secretary and then an Assistant Production Co-ordinator. In this role I was often given the chance to try new things. For example, helping with casting, assisting the script department and even Script Supervising on 2nd unit days. My main role was to assist the co-ordinator with every day tasks like booking accommodation, distributing scripts, script clearance and travel arrangements… to name a few.
In January of this year I had my little girl. Since then Tidy Productions have offered me odd days work which have been ideal but I haven't been able to accept anything longer than a few days at a time. That's my main concern when thinking of going back to work, that I won't be able to do shoot hours for while or even work 5 days a week, which I know is essential when working on a busy production. I'm hoping to find an office based job in a production office where I can work part time. This way keeping a foot in the door for when I can eventually go back to work full time.

Starting out as an assistant in Channel 4 Documentaries was a great introduction to the commissioning process from the inside. Working as a researcher/AP on the flagship strands Cutting Edge and Modern Times was an amazing opportunity to learn from some great directors and producers. When I developed a series about a Health Farm beyond its initial conception, Stephen Lambert gave me a break to direct and I went on to PD popular documentaries taking all of my own material (and sometimes other director's) into the edit. Again, great experience. These were mostly 30 minute series, but I also made When a Wife Loves a Woman, a 50 minute film for C4.
All in all, a solid grounding in making documentaries: researching, casting, negotiating access, handling contributors in sensitive situations, directing on location and in the edit. I also did a fair amount of Development, converting funded developments into commissions and also originating ideas to commission including one for Modern Times.
I then had 3 wonderful girls (not all at once!)… and my TV career ground to a halt.
I found the perfect part-time work/life balance producing dozens of 30 minute educational programmes for Legal Network Television. High quality and business as usual: directing a crew, filming in great locations from prisons to the High Court, turning legal experts into presenters, interviewing campaigning lawyers to law lords, but non-broadcast.
The next chapter? I still have lots to offer and I don't want to disappear from the industry forever . Realistic options are edit producing and /or developing ideas (I have plenty), but knowing how and where to pitch feels daunting on my own. I need a kickstart – help to make that first breakthrough.
The ending? That mine is a story that proves it can be done!

Criado Perez, Caroline
Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, because it treats men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias, in time, money, and often with their lives.
Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates shocking root cause of gender inequality and research in Invisible Women†‹, diving into women's lives at home, the workplace, the public square, the doctor's office, and more. Built on hundreds of studies in the US, the UK, and around the world, and written with energy, wit, and sparkling intelligence, this is a groundbreaking, unforgettable exposé that will change the way you look at the world.

Just as color and typography can create emotion, illustration can communicate complex messages and feelings quickly. Illustration is an important pattern to remember when you're trying to appeal to specific audiences and emphasize messages through visual design.
Sources: Intercom, Dropbox, and Shopify. Each has invested heavily into their illustration styles and teams.
If you don't possess much skill in illustration yourself, there are still viable ways to use this design pattern.
Basecamp's homepage illustration shows a familiar emotion for the company's core audience: being overwhelmed with notifications, email, and meetings, and feeling lost and overwhelmed because of disorganization and poor communication that happens at work. The illustration builds rapport with potential customers by showing how the company understands their frustrations.
The custom illustrations at Podia do a great job of explaining the service's core features. For example, the illustration for digital downloads teaches users the types of file formats they could sell using the service with just a quick glance.
The illustrations on Wealthfront's site redefine the tone of the brand in a variety of ways. Most financial company brands are structured around building trust with customers, so they tend to be somewhat conservative. Wealthfront does use some conservative, mature themes in its typography and color system, but softens the stuffy feel that is so common in the financial industry with playful, emotional illustration. Illustration is a powerful way of making Wealthfront seem totally different from its competitors, which is important because their approach to investing is different from standard brokerages.
Illustration is a powerful way to support business goals at key interactions with users. For example, you could use illustration to try to persuade a customer from cancelling a service, finish purchasing items in a shopping cart, or invite friends to use an app.
In the example above, Dropbox uses 2 illustrations to communicate emotions attached to upgrading your account to a paid plan. The illustrations support an obvious business goal for Dropbox: getting free users to upgrade to paid accounts.
The top illustration connects upgrading to getting an extra scoop of ice cream (which everyone loves!) and is a smart way to make upgrading feel good without being pushy about it. The bottom illustration communicates the idea of losing files inside stacks of paperwork. It positions Dropbox as a solution to a common frustration.
Even if you couldn't draw something pretty to save your life, it's still possible to create simple, beautiful illustrations on your own. Here are a couple of basic methods.
Designed by the author, Jarrod Drysdale, for a client.
A simple way to create expressive animations is by drawing basic shapes and applying textured brushes to them in Adobe Illustrator.
Another simple way to create surprisingly nice illustrations is by combining icons. Use a vector icon library (such as Picons, as shown below, or even Font Awesome), and combine several icons into a larger illustration. Here's an example of what you can do with some clever editing.
This seems obvious, but we designers tend overlook the option of hiring an illustrator because we want to put every pixel on the screen ourselves.
However, if you aren't an illustrator yourself, having a network of illustrators you can bring in to collaborate on your projects can be an immense value to your clients.
Illustrators of all styles, experience levels, and fees are available for hire on places like Dribbble and Behance. The perspective and expressiveness they can add to your designs are considerable, so don't count them out.


Charlotte scored four runs in the first inning and added the final four runs of the game to defeat the Youngstown State baseball team 9-3 on Friday in game one of a four-game series at Hayes Stadium.
Junior third baseman Drew Dosch homered and drove in all three runs for Youngstown State, which shaved the 4-0 deficit to 5-3 through six innings. The 49ers, though, extended their lead to 8-3 in the seventh and added an insurance run in the eighth.
Both Dosch and Mike Accardi were 2-for-4, but the rest of the Penguins line-up combined to go hitless in 22 at bats.
YSU starter Patrick O'Brien settled down after the rocky first inning and kept the Penguins in the game. He was charged with four earned runs on nine hits in five innings, and he handed the ball to the bullpen with a two-run deficit.
The 49ers scored their four runs in the first on five hits and an error, and Dosch's RBI single in the third brought in Accardi to make the score 4-1. O'Brien allowed a double and single to start the bottom of the third but got a big double play to escape with just a four-run deficit. Dosch's two-out, two-run homer in the fifth made the score 5-3.
YSU reliever Joey Gajda retired Charlotte in order in the sixth, but he ran into trouble seventh. The senior right-hander allowed a run on two singles and a walk, and both of the runners on base when he left came around to score. The 49ers got a run on two doubles in the eighth for the final tally.
Charlotte clean-up batter Justin Seager went 4-for-5 with four runs scored and three RBIs, and Shane Basen had three hits from the third spot in the order. The 49ers finished with 15 hits as a team.
The Penguins and 49ers will play a doubleheader on Saturday starting at noon.

John & Yoko Plastic Ono Band
ISBN: 9780500023433 (HB - E)
Described by Lennon as 'the best thing I've ever done', and widely regarded by critics as his best solo album, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band was released on 11 December 1970. With first-hand commentary by Lennon, Ono and other members of the Plastic Ono Band, and packed with previously unseen photographs by those who documented their lives, this incisive volume offers new insights into the raw emotions and open mindset of Lennon after marriage to Ono and the break-up of the Beatles. Following their wedding in March 1969, Lennon and Ono decided that their future musical endeavours should be credited to a conceptual vehicle, the Plastic Ono Band. The band featured an ever-changing line-up of musicians, including Eric Clapton, Klaus Voormann, Ringo Starr, Alan White, George Harrison, Billy Preston and Jim Keltner, all of whom played live with Lennon and Ono, and contributed to their recordings. This period of intense personal soul-searching and fearless honesty that John & Yoko inspired in one another had a huge impact on Lennon's song writing, resulting in the creation of tracks that are intensely personal and unlike anything previously heard in popular music, including 'Mother', 'Working Class Hero' and 'God'. This book takes those lyrics as a starting point and explores Lennon's life, career and world view.
John Lennon (1940-80) was an English singer, songwriter and peace activist who co-founded the Beatles, the most commercially successful band in the history of popular music. Yoko Ono is a multimedia artist, singer, songwriter and activist. She married John Lennon in 1969 and became his creative partner and muse.

BERLIN, GERMANY--(Marketwire - July 20, 2011) - Bombardier Transportation announced today that, pursuant to the original contract announced in July 2006, the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) has placed orders for 300 additional rapid transit cars. These orders are valued at approximately $331 million US ($317 million CDN, 234 million euro) bringing the total number of cars ordered by CTA to 706, and the total value of the contract to approximately $1 billion US ($964 million CDN, 712 million euro).
These next-generation rapid transit cars (known as the 5000-Series) will be the first in CTA's fleet to utilize alternating current (AC) propulsion, a technology that permits dynamic braking regeneration, lower energy and maintenance costs, and improved reliability. The new fleet of cars also will be equipped with an active suspension system to ensure that the car floor is level with the station platform during boarding, allowing passengers to board the train more easily. Other features of the new cars include greater capacity, better communications systems, increased security and real-time diagnostics to improve reliability. The 5000-Series cars are being built at Bombardier's manufacturing plant in Plattsburgh, New York.
Commenting on today's news, Raymond Bachant, President, Bombardier Transportation, North America said: "We are proud to be a partner with CTA in providing modern, efficient and environmentally-friendly transportation to the citizens of Chicago. These orders illustrate the continued confidence CTA places in Bombardier and our products."
Bombardier is the world's leading supplier of rapid transit cars with over seven billion people worldwide using Bombardier rapid transit cars every year. North American cities operating Bombardier-built rapid transit cars include Boston, New York, Montreal, Toronto and Mexico City. In addition to the Chicago order, Bombardier currently has rapid transit car orders for 468 new cars for Montreal and 420 new cars for Toronto.
CTA operates the second largest public transportation system in the United States, covering the City of Chicago and 40 surrounding suburbs. CTA's 1,200 rail cars operate over eight routes and 224.1 miles of track. CTA trains make about 2,145 trips each day and serve 144 stations.

Good phone, records and plays back 24/192, everything else works. 64GB ROM 4GB ram. Gradually the files don't save so I can't see what I just worked on. Its been taking place gradually. I reduced the number of songs in the song file and that worked though I still have 20GB of space left. But now even after reducing songs from the song folder still can't save but the first song with a new file name. Is there a limit to how big the song folder can be? Or is it something else?
Weird, are you sure there are no locks or something? Maybe your memory is failing, that does happen.


When you can't afford those (extremely cool) Zara sneakers, the best way to cool off is to create some sets on Polyvore and hope for the best. Like maybe, someday, those outfits will become reality.
1. A casual outfit with some relaxed pants and a top with a cool print. A super comfortable outfit for everyday activities.
2. This would be a little out of my comfort zone, for a special event. An edgy mix between sporty and chic.
3.An unusual combination but I think it would definetly work! I think the sporty sneakers would balance the feminine side of the dress creating a modern outfit.
4. A classic combination I've seen on many street style blogs. The classic parka and sneakers combination, which can never go wrong. Classic and stylish!


The table game landscape has changed quite a bit in the past few years. At the top of the food chain, the name of the company has changed, but the core hasn't. Scientific Games (which purchased Bally Technologies, which purchased Shuffle Entertainment) is still the 800 pound gorilla. But there is a new player in the industry now.
I don't know where in the rank they fall, but they had the second largest table game display at the Global Gaming Expo two weeks ago. This week, I'll give a brief review of the games of AGS.
With Galaxy Gaming's High Card Flush and Scientific Games' Flushes Gone Wild, it is no surprise AGS would have an entry into the Flush hand market. High Card Flush has been in the market for a few years and has clearly been successful. In this industry that naturally brings new variations of the same theme. In this case, AGS used a betting structure similar to Ultimate Texas Hold'em, but the only hands that matter are Flushes. To begin, the player makes two equal wagers, the Ante and the X-Tra Bonus.
The player is then dealt three cards face down and may bet 3x his ante or check. Two community cards are revealed and if the player did not already wager, he may wager 2x his ante or check. The final two community cards are revealed and if the player has not already wagered, he must bet 1x or fold. The dealer qualifies with a 3-card Flush 9-High. If he does not have at least this high a hand, the Ante pushes. If the dealer qualifies and the player has a higher ranking hand, the Ante and Play wagers push. The X-tra wager will pay if the player wins with a 4-Card Flush or longer. Of course, there is also a sidebet that pays for player 4-Card Flushs or longer.
This is a more traditional Texas Hold'em-style game called River Hold'em. The player makes an initial Ante wager and receives two cards (as does the dealer). The player must now bet 1x his ante or fold. Three community cards are then displayed and again the player must bet 1x his ante or fold.
The final two community cards are turned over and now the player may bet 1x or 2x his ante or fold. There is no qualifying, so if the player's hand outranks the dealer's the wagers will pay even money.
There are two sidebets where the player may bet that the Player or Dealer hand will be Three of a Kind or higher.
AGS also had on display two blackjack variants. Mega, a minor variant, and a more intriguing Toss One 21. In this game, the player and dealer each get four cards. The player must discard one and only one card to make his best blackjack hand. If the player can't make a hand of 21 or less, he busts and loses his wager. If the player and dealer tie on their blackjack hand, the fourth card is used as a kicker. If the fourth card still leaves a tie, the House wins. If the player has two tens and an Ace, it is a blackjack and pays 3 to 2. The sidebet here pays if the player's initial four cards are 21 or less. For the sidebet, the Ace counts as a one, regardless of how it was used for the base game.
I've always found the notion of creating a game where the goal is to get the lowest possible hand one that interests me – and it is not as if I haven't tried. The problem is not usually the math, but player acceptance. Most players are not accustomed to trying to make low hands and frequently misread the cards, especially if they are trying to make a 5-card Low hand from a 7-card deal.
In this case, players think a Pair is the kiss of death, but you can always drop one of two from that Pair to keep the 5-card hand a true Low. The other issue is whether to count Straights and/or Flushes. Players see A-2-3-4-5 and assume it is a Straight and a bad hand. But this doesn't have to be the case.
Cali Lowball attempts to solve some of these problems. First of all, there is a total of five cards dealt to each player to make a 5-card low hand. So, a Pair can be the kiss of death. Straights and Flushes, however, are ignored, so A-2-3-4-5 is as good as it gets.
To begin play, the player makes an Ante and X-Tra Bonus wager (equal sized). The player is given two cards face down. The player may now make a Raise wager of 3x or check. The dealer will reveal the three community cards.
Now, the player may make a Raise wager of 1x or fold. The dealer will reveal his two cards and compare to each player's hand. If the dealer has a Pair of Jacks or higher, the Ante pushes. All other wagers are in play. If the player's hand outranks (under ranks?) the dealer's, the Raise wager will pay even money.
Many of AGS' games utilize the same basic type of bonusing system but with different triggers. This was an additional sidebet.
In their blackjack game, it might be a player blackjack that would trigger it. In Chase the Flush, it requires a 3-Card Flush in the player's pocket cards. If the player makes the sidebet and achieves the required hand, he has the opportunity to spin a digital wheel. The wheel can be set to pay any amount the casino desires, including prizes. In some cases, there is also an Envy payout, where all the other players who made the sidebet will be paid a lower amount.

Harry Ferguson was a remarkable inventor and a man of vision. Aside from his innovations in mechanized agriculture he designed a four-wheel drive system for road cars and created inspired design solutions to a wealth of engineering problems. Yet he is best remembered for the small, unobtrusive gray tractor that bears his name. Launched in the late 1940s, it rendered its competitors obsolete and provided farmers with a tool that could meet almost all their requirements. The book starts with Harry Ferguson¦s early work on tractors and his development of the system, and his collaboration with Ford in the USA on the development of the Ford 9N tractor. Then comes an in-depth study of the TE20. Later chapters cover the TVO- and diesel-powered versions, American- and French-built Fergusons, industrial models, special-purpose variants, and conversions including four-wheel-drive and high-clearance models. There is an extensive study of the extraordinary range of implements available, with information also on tractor options and accessories.
Michael Thorne first experienced a Ferguson tractor when he drove a TED20 at the age of 14. His interest in Fergusons was rekindled in 1985 when he bought a TED20, and since then he has become the Ferguson enthusiast par excellence. Over 20 years he has painstakingly assembled an outstanding collection of nearly 50 Fergusons.

Man seeks 'trial by combat' with ex-wife
By Jared Strong
Jared Strong
A Kansas man seeks a court-ordered sword fight to settle a dispute with his ex-wife in Harlan over his ability to communicate with their two children, according to court records.
David Zachary Ostrom, 40, of Paola, Kansas, asked for a "trial by combat" early this month to help settle an ongoing spat about what constitutes "reasonable telephone and electronic communication" with the children.
Ostrom also seeks money from his ex-wife to pay for property taxes of their former house in eastern Iowa.
"Trial by combat was still regarded as a legitimate method for dispute resolution when the Constitution was ratified by the United States and by the original 13 colonies," Ostrom wrote in his request. "To this day, trial by combat has never been explicitly banned or restricted as a right in these United States."
Ostrom further seeks a delay of about three months so that he can obtain two samurai swords for the fight. He said the woman's attorney is allowed to fight instead as her "champion."
Because the two have "indicated they have destroyed me legally, I now wish to give them the chance to meet me on the field of battle, where I will REND THEIR SOULS from their ... bodies," Ostrom wrote.
Ostrom and his ex-wife have been separated for nearly two years after having been together for 10. At the time a judge granted their divorce, he noted that both of them "are very bright and articulate."
District court records since their separation are replete with assertions by Ostrom that his communication with the children is lacking when the children are with his ex-wife, who has primary physical care of them in Harlan, where she lives with her parents. Ostrom "now RARELY speaks with the children when they are not in his care," he wrote.
Schumer: We will force votes on witnesses and documents
Trump rages against impeachment while overseas
Dog with "weird" eyes becomes internet star
Ostrom cites a 2016 ruling by a New York Supreme Court justice in which the justice agreed he had the power to order a trial by combat but chose another option.
In a response to Ostrom's request, the ex-wife's attorney — Matthew Hudson, of Harlan, who refers to himself in the response as "potential combatant" — argued: "Although the respondent and potential combatant do have souls to be rended, they respectfully request that the court not order this done. We humbly request the court deny this motion, as the potentially life-ending ramifications surely outweigh the severity of the petitioner's proposed legal remedy of trying to avoid responsibility for property taxes and to acquire additional telephonic communication."
Hudson has also asked a judge to suspend Ostrom's visitation rights and order a psychological evaluation of Ostrom.
It's unclear when a judge will rule on the requests.
Judge chooses words, not swords
A man's request in district court for a sword fight to the death with his ex-wife ran afoul of proper court procedure, a judge has ruled.
