Red Sea's Reef Foundation kit includes high resolution titration tests for accurate measurement's of the elements Calcium (75 test's), Magnesium (75 test's) & Alkalinity (60 test's) which are the basics foundation elements of Coral skeleton's.
All of these elements need to be available in balanced proportions for Coral health and growth. This test kit enables accurate dosing of the reef Foundation supplement, which is part of the complete Red Sea reef care program.
Why Test For Calcium (Ca)?
A successful coral reef aquarium is dependent upon maintaining the appropriate water parameters that in turn provide the stable environment required by the corals. Although all the elements found in natural seawater have an important role in providing the optimal water parameters, a few of them have a more significant role in the overall stability. These elements are the foundation of the reef environment and they include the three major elements, Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg) and Bicarbonates (HCO3). These 3 elements have a major effect on the water chemistry (pH stability, Alkalinity, sea water ionic strength) and on many of the coral's biological processes (skeleton formation, ions exchange, photosynthesis).
Why Test For Alkalinity (KH)?
The pH level in a salt-water aquarium is a constant concern to most aquarists. Whereas the occupants in a fish-only system can tolerate a fairly wide range of pH levels for periods of time with no major harm, the occupants of a reef tank rely heavily on a constant pH level in the right range to just survive, let alone thrive. The generally accepted pH level in a basic salt-water system is between 7.6 and 8.4, but reef tanks are a more sensitive, and therefore need to be kept at the higher end of the pH scale, 8.0 to 8.4. respiration and metabolic wastes are a natural part of the ocean, but the reason that sea water pH does not change is that the water contains a number of chemicals, such as bicarbonate, calcium, carbonate, borate and hydroxide, all of which act as natural "buffers" that retard the drop in pH. When the pH in a salt-water system starts to drop, it is an indication that the buffers are getting worn out, and the increase in acidity needs to be corrected.
Why Test For Magnesium (Mg)?
Magnesium plays an important role in any reef aquarium. In addition to its many biological functions, it serves to prevent the excessive precipitation of calcium and bicarbonate, which lowers the calcium level and causes a drop in alkalinity. Magnesium should be maintained at approximately 3 times the level of Calcium, measured in ppm. Corals build approximately 90% of their skeleton by combining Ca and CO3 ions from the water to form Aragonite (CaCO3). The rest of the skeleton is made up from Magnesite (MgCO3), Strontianite (SrCO3), Calcite (a more brittle crystal structure of CaCO3), Fluorite (CaF2) and other minor and trace minerals.
In unbalanced conditions such as low levels of Mg and/or Sr the skeleton will develop with a higher proportion of Calcite making it more brittle and more susceptible to damage.


Apple's Swift programming language has been taking the iOS programming world by storm. Now that it has been released as an open-source project, it is also poised to move on desktop and other mobile device platforms. Should you choose Swift as the development language for your next iPhone project?
Apple is doing their best to make your answer "yes." They are also trying to make the choice an easy one for existing development shops which have already invested heavily in Objective-C (the previously de facto coding choice for the iOS world). Swift is designed to operate seamlessly with Objective-C, despite being a radically different language. Existing Objective-C apps can be augmented with Swift code, since both can exist and compile within the same project. This allows developers to mix and match, picking their preferred solution for each particular programming problem, as well as allowing developers with different language fluencies to work together on the same projects.
It is designed to be much easier to read and learn than Objective-C, and consequently, easier to maintain. It's also designed to do more to protect programmers from themselves–Swift has powerful features built in to help coders detect and correct possible null reference exceptions and unpredictable errors before they ever release their code. The language is also less verbose than its older brother, requiring fewer lines of code to accomplish the same tasks.
Because both Swift and Objective-C rest heavily on Cocoa, Apple's API (Application Programming Interface) and shared library that makes the Apple platform experience what it is for users, there's no functional difference to end-users. They'll never know what the underlying language is of the app they are using, which is just as it should be.
Swift is currently on the second iteration of the language. Drawing the ire of some early adopters, Apple essentially gave the language a top to bottom review after version 1.0, introducing changes across the spectrum, from error handling to improved Objective-C integration. Although early Swift apps sometimes required extensive rewrites, the resulting language has proven faster to compile and to run.
Furthermore, iOS isn't the only platform that Apple is pushing Swift for. The language also works seamlessly on OS X, and Apple hopes to pull in more cross-platform developers by unifying the language across its product lines.
Currently, the major drawback for organizations interested in moving to Swift as their default language choice is a lack of skilled developers. The demand for Objective-C developers has been such that there had been little financial incentive for coders to adopt the new language. Many talented amateurs have begun learning to code in Swift, but it is a risky proposition to take on an inexperienced coder for an important software project.
This, however, is where the Objective-C/Swift integration comes in handy. Experienced Objective-C programmers can still be used as leads on new app programming projects, but less experienced Swift programmers can be brought in to participate as well. There is a soft ramp up to speed for the new developers, and an inherent learning opportunity for the more experienced staff.
It's also relatively easy for existing Objective-C developers to make the jump to Swift if they so choose. Swift does not change any of the essential iOS programming design patterns. Because it tends to be easier to learn and more readable, the technical details of the language are easy to pick up, and the basic architectural structures of apps remain the same.
Although Apple continues to support both languages strongly, the writing is on the wall for Objective-C. Few new developers will be trained in that language and many existing projects will be gradually migrated over to Swift as the environment shifts to favor Swift coders. Inevitably, Apple will devote more time and effort to improving and promoting Swift than maintaining Objective-C.
For organizations looking to develop a new app from scratch, Swift is the obvious choice. Businesses faced with maintaining and upgrading existing Objective-C apps may hold off on a full-scale Swift adoption, but it would be wise to start dipping toes into the new language as soon as possible to avoid being caught out entirely when the tide turns on Objective-C.

The Riding Centre at 60 — Soelberg's legacy lives on
By Lauren Shows
When Louise Soelberg died in 1994 at the age of 90, it was enough to spark the interest of several national news outlets. Obituaries in the NY Times and Variety note her work as a pioneer of modern dance and the injury that ended her dancing career. That's where the obituaries end — but Soelberg's life was far from over when she stopped dancing. In 1959, when she was 56 years old, she established the Riding Centre, and 60 years later, it continues to fulfill the mission laid down by Soelberg: to connect people and horses. On Saturday, Sept. 7, the Riding Centre will celebrate its 60 years.
The Riding Centre, located at 1117 E. Hyde Road, is a nonprofit organization that provides riding lessons for students ages 8 and older, as well as horse boarding services, clinics and the Therapeutic Riding Program.
Trading the stage for a saddle
It was dance that brought Soelberg to the village. After dancing and teaching across Europe and the United States, Soelberg came to Yellow Springs in the late 1940s after receiving a William C. Whitney grant to teach dance at Antioch College. Her husband, the actor Basil Langton, worked with the Antioch Shakespeare Festival and Antioch Area Theatre, and Soelberg also choreographed some of the company's productions. Though her marriage to Langton ended and he left the village, Soelberg remained in her position at Antioch College until she sustained a back injury in the 1950s. As she told the Dayton Journal Herald in 1976: "I sort of eased out of dancing rather than quit. A ruptured disc had a lot to do with it. I was one of those who couldn't sit and teach, but had to move."
Soelberg's daughter, Jessica Andrews, was entering elementary school when her family moved to the village. Before establishing the Riding Centre, Andrews said that Soelberg would occasionally talk fondly of the time in her youth that she spent with horses.
"She would tell me about how she and a friend in Seattle would go riding. They would tear down cliffs on horseback and horrify the drivers on the road," Andrews said.
Andrews said she suspects it might have been her own young love of horses that inspired her mother to get back in the saddle: she and Robin Lithgow — daughter of Antioch Shakespeare Festival co-founder Arthur Lithgow — both young teens and "horse crazy," bought a horse together. When the Lithgows left the village in 1957, the horse then belonged solely to Andrews and, by extension, Soelberg.
"We kept [the horse] at the Carr's barn [on Xenia Avenue] for a while," Andrews said. "And I think that was how my mom came back to her love of horses."
In 1959, Soelberg petitioned Antioch College to lease 15 acres of unused farmland owned by Glen Helen to her in order to establish a horse riding school. The Riding Centre would provide riding lessons to community members and physical education credits to Antioch College students who chose to learn to ride.
The Riding Centre did — and does — teach English riding, most recognizable to the horse layperson as the kind of riding that involves a small saddle, jodhpurs, hurdle jumping and the occasional top hat.
Under Soelberg's leadership, the Riding Centre strove to keep costs low in order to keep riding lessons accessible to the community. Soelberg taught her students to ride properly in the English style, but she also expected them to understand that caring for a living being requires hard — and often dirty — work. Andrews said that her mother's own life, in some ways, reflected this contrast.
"She had a way of speaking that wasn't a British accent, though she had been [in England] for 20 years, but it was very 'proper,'" Andrews said. "She liked to have nice things around her, and she conveyed a sense of grace and elegance to people — but then she would run around in rubber boots in the mud and clean out the stables in whatever weather."
In 1961, Soelberg and Antioch College drew up a formal lease agreement that granted the Riding Centre 60 acres. The Riding Centre would lease the land and be responsible for the upkeep and improvement of the facilities there. Original to the property, which had been vacated by a local farming family several years before Soelberg leased it, were a 19th century barn and a small house that the Riding Centre used as an office for several years. Soelberg eventually moved into the house — she called it her "hovel" — which, for the first year she lived there, only had electricity in the kitchen. Soelberg lived her evenings that year by candlelight, but because of her overall air, Andrews said it seemed "glamorous" to the young people she taught to ride.
"There was never a lot of money, but she did what she had to do, and I've always thought of it as pioneer spirit," Andrews said. "The kids loved it when she invited them in. She always gave them a sense that they were valued."
So beloved was she by her students that, in the mid-1960s, a group of tween and teen riders threw a surprise party in Soelberg's honor, complete with round-trip tickets to London, where Soelberg's elder daughter and grandchildren lived. The party was held at the barn of the McCally family, and Soelberg was celebrated with gifts and flowers — and in verse by students Debbie Vernet and Diane Leger, as reported by the News:
"There was a lady from Seattle,
Who soon will see the Be-atles.
Her name is Louise,
She does as she please
She raises horses and not ke-attle."
Riding Centre expands, transitions
With the money they raised from lessons, boarding horses and on-site horse shows, Soelberg and her cohorts continued to make improvements to the Riding Centre where they could, building stalls in the old barn and an outdoor arena for training. An indoor arena followed in the mid-1960s, after young Peace Corps members in residence at Antioch began training there in summer.
In 1974, The Riding Centre expanded its offerings with its Therapeutic Riding Program, which offers riding as an alternative therapy to children and adults with physical, mental and emotional disabilities. Program participants are referred individually by physicians and agencies, and ride specially trained horses, with the aim being to improve balance, coordination and muscle tone.
The program was groundbreaking enough that it earned Soelberg the distinction of being the first woman to be named national "Senior Citizen of the Month" in September of 1976. The award was sponsored by Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Soelberg accepted it from Col. Harland Sanders himself, decked out in his trademark white suit and black string bow tie.
YS News Editor Kieth Howard wrote of the day: "In accepting the honor she emphasized that members of her staff had done more to carry on this program than she — particularly instructors Gail Brown and Jalyn Jones Roe. In the past two years, 79 students have benefitted from the program."
Soelberg was 72 when she accepted the award, and still involved in the everyday operation of the Riding Centre's business. The center gained nonprofit status a few years later in 1979, incorporating separately from Antioch College. A board of directors was established to handle the center's financial concerns, which were many. In her YS News obituary, Soelberg was quoted as having said to a friend about the award she'd received: "It's a very pretty medal, but I ought to hock it. We need to raise $1,714 for the therapeutic riding program for the coming year to match a grant — and we'll raise it any way we possibly can."
Carolyn Bailey, who had been training at the Riding Centre since she was 8, was inspired by the Therapeutic Riding Program to enroll at The Cheff Center for the Handicapped in Augusta, Mich. in 1977. After four years of training and teaching there, Bailey returned to the Riding Centre to work alongside Soelberg as head instructor and trainer. When Soelberg retired in 1989 at the age of 85, Bailey became the Riding Centre's director. Though she was retired, Soelberg continued to live in her "hovel" on the Glen property until her death in 1994.
"When I think of how I am as a boss, it's because of who Louise was as a person," Bailey said. "There was never a day you left that she didn't thank you."
The Riding Centre today
Unlike in the Riding Centre's early days, when students like Bailey would sometimes get up before dawn to come down to the barn and take care of the horses, today's students are bound by liability clauses that prevent them from doing as much heavy lifting. Though employees of the Riding Centre do much of that work now, the Riding Centre still teaches students as much as it can about what it takes to care for a horse.
"In camps, the young people have to clean the stalls, and they get a bare minimum taste of the care that goes into these horses," Bailey said. "They learn to tack up the horse, brush the horse — they learn that 99% of horse riding is the care of the horse, whether it's cleaning the stalls or mowing the fields or putting up the hay or holding them for the farrier. It gives them a sense of responsibility."
Of the approximately 80 students currently learning at the Riding Centre, Bailey estimated that 98 percent of those are girls or women.
"We do get mostly young girls — and women who wanted to get into horses when they were little, and now they have enough money to do it," Bailey said.
Marsha Casdorph was one of those women — she started taking lessons at the Riding Centre when she was 41.
"At first, I was a little intimidated by the English riding style that we teach here," said Casdorph, who is now the secretary for the Riding Centre's board. "It can look very prim and proper, but that's not how Louise taught it and that's not how we teach it. It's very down-to-earth and low-key."
Bailey said that it's a nearly universally accepted truth that young girls are drawn to love horses, whether for their beauty or their nature, both wild and gentle, or for the freedom they often represent. Whatever the reason, for young girls especially, she said, working with horses can be a confidence boost.
"There are very few things of which these kids have been in charge. And I tell them, 'You may not be in charge when you go home, but when you're here, you're in charge of this 1,000-pound horse — and look at you!" she said.
Though the Riding Centre has made some necessary augmentations to programming and facilities over its 60 years, much about the Riding Centre has remained unchanged over the years, according to Bailey. Since becoming director 30 years ago, Bailey has continued to run the Riding Centre according to Soelberg's values, including instituting affordable lesson fees and a scholarship program as the cost of living rises nationwide.
"That's part of our mission: to keep our lessons affordable, to inspire people to ride and love horses and to get away from the idea that riding is a rich man's sport," she said.
Bailey also said that the Riding Centre's longevity can be chalked up to its unflagging attention to its core values, and that the center's best strategy going forward into the next 60 years is to keep doing what they've been doing since 1959.
"In the horse world, 60 years is phenomenal, and I think our success is that we haven't really changed what we do — which is teaching people horsemanship," she said.
Louise Soelberg's influence is still felt by those in the village who learned from her, even as their lives have taken them into different career paths. Jenny Cowperthwaite, executive director of the Little Art Theatre, said that the Riding Centre provided her with a work ethic that has followed her throughout her life's work.
"Louise Soelberg was pretty exceptional," Cowperthwaite said. "This woman gave a lot of responsibility to us — it's where I learned responsibility. We lived for her praise and, to me, she just had a magical, mystical touch."
Cowperthwaite said that both she and Bailey, who have been friends since their time together at the Riding Centre in the 1970s, look for the same types of qualities in their employees that Soelberg looked for in her students.
"Carolyn and I came out with the work ethic that we didn't wait to be told what to do — we just did it, and I think that made Louise proud," she said. "And to this day, when we have to hire somebody new, we're looking for 'horse people' — people who look around to see what needs to be done and do it."

Slothly Ruminations on Human Behavior
January 7, 2016 | cat9984
Les Sloth, Guest Contributor
I really didn't have to ruminate much to come to my conclusion:
Humans are crazy!
Cat assigned me to accompany B to Los Angeles for her modeling/talent convention. I joined her and her friend C while they finished packing for the trip. I don't think C was going there to be beautiful; I think she was supposed to keep B from being crazy while she was being beautiful. I hope Cat's paying her more than she's paying me.
Apparently it takes a lot of stuff to be beautiful and talented. B had two overflowing suitcases before C arrived. C helped her repack so all that stuff fit. Unfortunately, B still had a lot of stuff. Fortunately, it doesn't take as much stuff to prevent craziness so C could share some of her space.
Cat drove us to the airport in the dark. We had to get in a line where all the humans had to take off their shoes. Humans have ugly feet – no fur or claws. They made me lie down on a belt that went through a big box. B said they were looking for explosives. Why would I eat explosives? I'm a vegetarian.
The plane ride was awful. The airplane people said that animals ride under the seat. They also said that I really should be in a cage in cargo. I showed them my ticket. They finally said that I could have the seat but that if I made a mess on the seat I had to leave. Can you believe that?! People can be so rude.
We finally got to the LA airport. I was really sorry I'm not an insectivore. There were a lot of big black beetles on the floor. B carried me. She said it was too dirty for me to walk and that someone might step on me.
We had to wait for the luggage. That's a really scary place. There were a lot of people pushing each other trying to get their stuff. I think I would have left some of that stuff there and bought something better looking. C was really good at making sure no one got our stuff. That probably helped B not be crazy.
We got to the hotel pretty quickly. I think everyone in LA must be late getting somewhere. All they do is run around.
After we got there, B had a message that she had to go to a meeting. Of course, I went with her. There were four people there besides B. A lady with black hair was really excited and told them everything that they needed to do. The lady seemed pretty stressed out and was making B and her friends annoyed. Luckily, the lady didn't have a problem with me being there so B didn't get really upset.
B had to go to some kind of singing practice. I don't know how humans are supposed to sound when they sing, but they didn't sound anything at all like the songbirds where I come from. I guess B did OK. No one threw anything at her or walked out.
The last thing she did was to put on a lot of makeup and have someone take pictures of her. I think that went pretty well. I don't understand why all of the pretty girls there had to put stuff on their faces to have their pictures taken. Sloths look good the way we are. And none of them looked as good as a lady sloth when they were done.
That was the end of the stuff B had to do on the first day. She went to eat with her friends. I went back to the room to try and figure out whether the people were having a good time there or not. I fell asleep before I could decide.

Agassiz Medical Centre will be honoring Dr. Bob Menzies' spirit and passion with a modest fundraising effort. Clinic staff have modified an old Morden Hospital ER bed with a large banner and will be pushing it from Agassiz Medical Centre to Boundary Trails Health Centre and back on September 29th, 2018 starting at 9:00am. We feel this will be a special tribute to Bob who spent many years travelling that stretch of road serving the community he loved.
We will also be collecting donations during this time as well for Boundary Trails Cancer Care. Any donations larger than $20.00 must have the individual's name and address attached to receive a Tax Receipt. Any cheques are to be made out to BTHC Foundation (memo line: Cancer Care and/or Bob's Bed Push). The bedpans are a 'cheeky' container that we feel Bob would support by giving us one of his deep bellow laughs.
The Bed and Sign currently sit in the AMC waiting room and you can donate there as well at any time until the 29th. So come on down and make the "Tin Ring".

Warning: Pause before using Medtronic guidewires for your heart procedure

Recent Northeast Florida car accidents result in death

Federal health officials have toughened an already-announced recall of guidewires made by Medtronic, saying that the problems are serious enough to cause serious injury or death.The warning covers about 15,000 recalled guidewires, which are used in various heart procedures. A recall of the guidewires began Oct. 21 after Medtronic received reports of four complaints, including one patient who went into cardiac arrest but was resuscitated. The recall notice warned hospitals and distributors worldwide that coating on the guidewires could break off, causing obstructions or clots. The wires are coated to make them slide through blood vessels more easily. Medtronic announced Friday night that the Food and Drug Administration had classified the recall as Class I, a category reserved for products with reasonable potential to cause serious injury or death. The company said it has taken steps to prevent new shipments of the wires. It also has notified regulators around the world.

Problems with the guide wires can be reported to Medtronic by calling 877-526-7890 during weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT; adverse reactions or quality problems can be reported to the FDA.

VanDerBeek began his career in the 1950s making independent art film while learning animation techniques and working painting scenery and set designs for the American TV show, Winky Dink and You.
VanDerBeek studied art and architecture first at Cooper Union College in New York and then at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where he met architect Buckminster Fuller, composer John Cage, and choreographer Merce Cunningham. VanDerBeek began his career in the 1950s making independent art film while learning animation techniques and working painting scenery and set designs for the American TV show, Winky Dink and You. His earliest films, made between 1955 and 1965 mostly consist of animated paintings and collage films, combined in a form of organic development.
VanDerBeek's ironic compositions were created very much in the spirit of the surreal and dadaist collages of Max Ernst, but with a wild, rough informality more akin to the expressionism of the Beat Generation. In the 1960s, VanDerBeek began working with the likes of Claes Oldenburg and Allan Kaprow, as well as representatives of modern dance, such as Merce Cunningham and Yvonne Rainer. Building his Movie Drome theater at Stony Brook, New York, at just about the same time, he designed shows using multiple projectors. The Movie Drome was a grain silo dome which he turned into his 'infinite projection screen'. Visitors entered the dome through a trap-door in the floor, and were encouraged after entering to spread out over the floor and lie with their feet pointing towards the centre. Once inside, the audience experienced a dynamic inter-dispersal of movies and images around them, created by over a dozen slide and film projectors filling the concave surface with a dense collage of moving imagery. These presentations contained a very great number of random image sequences and continuities, with the result that none of the performances were alike.
His desire for the utopian led him to work with Ken Knowlton in a co-operation at Bell Labs, where dozens of computer animated films and holographic experiments were created by the end of the 1960s. Between 1964 and 1967 Vanderbeek created poem fields, a series of 8 computer-generated animations with Ken Knowlton.
During the same period, he taught at many universities, researching new methods of representation, from the steam projections at the Guggenheim Museum to the interactive television transmissions of his Violence Sonata broadcast on several channels in 1970. He ran the University of Maryland, Baltimore County visual arts program until his death.


Then you can see how each of the events flows into the next to create the overall plot.
Cause: Jane is so afraid that she blew the SATs that the next morning she runs away from home.
Event-- She joins the circus and learns to do trick-horse-riding.
Then look at that big event and after it jot down the EFFECT of the event-- internal and/or external.
EFFECT: At the circus she is befriended by the bearded lady and realizes looks aren't everything.
The ringmaster notices her talent and suggests that she become a full-time employee and travel with them.
Then go on to the next turning point event.
- a whole string of them.
Example: In the start of Wizard of Oz, Dorothy sensibly takes shelter from the tornado. But of course, the tornado is going to take her to Oz, so she has to get out of the tornado shelter, right? Notice though that the writer didn't just have her run out of the shelter; rather her beloved dog escapes, and she runs out to save him— the best motivation! This "cause/effect" doesn't just force the plot forward, but deepens the characterization: We now know more about what matters most to Dorothy.
You might find just identifying the problem event will inspire you to find a good cause/effect sequence!

Ferdinand Hiller (Frankfurt del Main, 24 d'octubre de 1811 - Colònia, 12 de maig de 1885) fou un compositor, pianista i director d'orquestra alemany del Romanticisme.

Biografia
El seu primer mestre va ser Aloys Schmitt, i quan tenia 10 anys, les seves composicions i talent van portar el seu pare a enviar-lo amb Johann Nepomuk Hummel a Weimar. Allà es va dedicar a compondre.

Amb Hummel, Hiller va fer grans progressos com a pianista. Tant és així que el 1827 va fer una gira a Viena, on va conèixer a Beethoven i va compondre seu primer quartet. Després d'una breu visita a casa, Hiller va anar a París el 1829, on va viure fins al 1836. Va tornar a Frankfurt per un temps a causa de la mort del seu pare, però el 8 de gener de 1839 va estrenar a Milà la seva òpera La Roinilda, i va començar a escriure el seu oratori Die Zerstörung Jerusalems.

Llavors es va dirigir a Leipzig, on vivia el seu amic Mendelssohn, on el 1843-1844 va dirigir diversos concerts a la Gewandhaus i va acabar el seu primer oratori. Després d'una breu visita a Itàlia per estudiar la música sacra, Hiller va estrenar dues òperes, Ein Traum i Conradin, a Dresden el 1845 i el 1847, respectivament. Va ser director a Düsseldorf el 1847 i a Colònia el 1850, i va dirigir l'Opéra Italien a París el 1851 i el 1852. A Colònia va adquirir prominència com a director dels concerts Gürzenich i director del conservatori on va tenir entre altres alumnes a Hubert de Blanck, Jacques Hartog, Charles Donald Maclean, Frederick Corder i Otto Dresel. El 1884 es va retirar i va morir a l'any següent.

Hiller freqüentment va visitar Anglaterra. Va compondre una obra per a la inauguració del Royal Albert Hall, Nala, i Damayanti va ser interpretat a Birmingham. Va donar una sèrie de recitals per a piano de les seves pròpies composicions al Hanover Square Rooms el 1871. Va tenir una perfecta mestria de la tècnica i forma composicional, però les seves obres generalment són seques. Va ser pianista i mestre, teint entre els seus alumnes destacats en Caspar Joseph Brambach, i ocasionalment un brillant escriptor sobre temes musicals. Entre les seves obres, al voltant de dues-centes, hi ha sis òperes, dos oratoris, sis cantates, molta música de cambra i un concert per a piano abans popular.

Speak Up Against Islamophobia: Since words have significance, people should recognize and articulate the word "Islamophobia". Issue a statement or write a letter-to-the-editor/op-ed in the wake of Islamophobic attacks. Contact media for inaccurate depiction of Islam or Muslims. Review letters-to-the-editor and op-eds on the topic of Islamophobia, as posted on MERI website.
Organize an Action: Organize a public rally or demonstration to show solidarity against Islamophobia. Hold a banner "End Racism and Islamophobia". Faith-based organizations can organize a faith-based action in solidarity against Islamophobia. Some examples include "Chanukkah Action Against Islamophobia and Racism" as organized by Jewish Voice for Peace or Christmas solidarity with refugees as expressed by Christian leaders.
Do Intersectional Work: Islamophobic forces employ fear to ascend to power and victimize all marginalized. Forces exploiting Islamophobia also attack African American, women, LGBTQ, workers and immigrants. It is important to connect our struggles and create space for Muslim, Black and People of Color voices.
Organize a Forum or Workshop: Organize a discussion, forum or workshop on Islamophobia and its connection to racism and other forms of oppression. Contact MERI or presentation or workshop on Islamophobia that is suited for faith organizations, peace and justice organizations and student groups.
Film or Book Discussion on Islamophobia: Conduct a study group to discuss articles, book or movies on the topic of Islamophobia. Check a list of articles, books and movies on MERI website.
Support Muslim/Black/People of Color Led Organizations: Support Muslim, Black and People of Color organizations fighting Islamophobia and racism levied against their community members.
I don't think that there is anything irrational or fearful about the criticism of a horrid idealogy which teaches hate and paedophila.
Do I have a phobia because I refuse to believe in a flying horse with a human face. Or that a man split the moon in half!? Don't waste my time. Islam is ridiculous.
That is without mentioning the outright paedophila. Ask a Muslim what his opinions on 'thighing' is because according to Sharia it is perfectly acceptable and even encouraged for a muslim man to massage his falice between the thighs of a young girl if she is too young to be penetrated. WTF. I do no have a phobia I just hate paedos and violent idiots.
Ipsa – It's sad to hear how little you understand about such a rich and vibrant tradition. Have you ever had an extended conversation with a person who believes in Islam? While not a muslim myself, having these types of conversations has opened my eyes to the beauty of this faith.

I'd say HZD is closer on the Monster Hunter stuff. In Zelda you're killing dudes to get some upgrade materials to increase the strength of your armor, but it's pretty optional. The combat is built around the dodge into flurry (sort of this game's take on Wind Waker's dodge roll super damage maneuver) so if you understand the enemy attack tells you don't actually need protective armor.
I've completed eight shrines...
I played for 8 hours on Saturday, 14 hours on Sunday, and 3-4 hours for each of the past week nights. I also focused on getting all the towers ASAP and in the process either stumbled upon or marked a lot of shrines. I haven't done much in the way of sidequests; mostly stuff that was on the way to something I was already doing or to collect materials I already had.

There's also a fair amount of crafting in Demon's Souls, and the cooking/crafting in BOTW feels very similar to the crafting in that game. The approaches to combat are also similar, although the penalty for failure in BOTW is much less severe than it is in Demon's Souls or King's Field. (This is a good thing in BOTW, by the way. It encourages creativity, and it highlights the amount of freedom the game give you in overcoming its obstacles.) The game is also much less linear than either The Legend of Zelda or Demon's Souls.
So...basically, I see a lot of From Software's influence on the game's mechanics. Certainly, the game much more forgiving than From Software's output, but its approach to combat and environmental hazards is similar. (If a bokoblin stabs you, you die. If you fall of a cliff, you die. If you fall into a freezing river, you die.) It is, to my knowledge, drastically larger than any From Software game, and its goals are a lot different. Nonetheless, it is clear to me that the people on the design team spent a lot of time studying the games in the Souls series.

I got the same vibe reading about it and watching videos. It's like BotW's designers tried to hybridize popular open world WRPG mechanics, in tandem with Souls' gameplay, and a dash of Monster Hunter cooking/crafting/weapon degradation, wrapped around a Zelda premise. Which totally proved successful for them, but at the same time comes across as a bit zeitgeist-derivative. Though nowadays every game is derivative of some other game at some point. So fair's fair, and the formula obviously works well.

For equipment, perhaps, but none of the Souls games use crafting for consumables (that I recall). You buy them, find them, or have an supply that's automatically replenished.
BoTW, you're looking at making food or potions or whatnot to both heal you, but (potentially) allow you to get past challenges. Whether that's surviving the cold, having stamina to climb something, etc.

As far as the games that BotW takes elements from are concerned, I wonder to what degree those ones were inspired by a previous Zelda or Nintendo game. Circle of life, baby.

Yeah, I was going to say, as good as HZD is, it's apparently very derivative of games that have come before it. Both of these games are taking elements from others and putting their own spins on them.
I haven't played HZD, but is it fair to say that perhaps it is a little more structured as far as its open world goes, compared to Zelda? I'm just struck by how organic everything feels in Zelda.

I remember reading a breakdown one time where someone showed all the influences that formed the original Zelda. I wish I could find that now and show you guys (just a fun read). But it only proves your point further; every game is mostly a derivative influence of other games before it. And that's perfectly understandable.

After what seemed liked years of long, straight and bland hair, much ado was recently made when Gwyneth Paltrow stepped out with a new 'do. Apparently she too was getting tired of her coif - either that, or she just couldn't handle the kiddies pulling on it incessantly. Whatever the reason, the change was much needed.
For every star that keeps us guessing with their ever-changing styles, there's surprisingly another who could afford to mix things up a bit. While it's important to stick with styles that work for you, there comes a point when someone can work a style to death. With all of the money some of these celebrities have, you'd think they could afford to be a bit more adventuresome with their looks. What's the worst that could happen? If the experiment goes wrong, they could always recolor or reattach.
The group of ladies on the following page are women I've been hoping to see something new from in quite some time. Aside from slight variations in some cases, these ladies have been pretty much been sporting the same old thing for ages.
Many words come to mind when I think of Mariah Carey—and "prude" isn't one of them. But that's just what the singer would like you to believe.
Now if she believes the word prude to mean "woman who wants to look good and doesn't care what you think" then maybe we'd have something.

Gary Cohn joins IBM as vice chairman
Gary Cohn, the former Goldman Sachs president and economic advisor to President Donald Trump, is joining IBM as its vice chairman.
Cohn announced the move in a tweet Tuesday morning in which he said he was "honored" to be joining the company's board.
IBM shares traded up about 1.2% following the news.
CNBC's Jim Cramer said the announcement is "an exciting move for IBM. Gary can be a change agent."
In the new role, Cohn will act as an advisor to IBM CEO Arvind Krishna, who took over the company in April with a pledge to expand its reach into the artificial intelligence and cloud computing space.
That might make Cohn an unusual choice in that his experience is primarily in finance and economics. He served nearly 11 years at Goldman as chairman and chief operating officer before accepting Trump's nomination as director of the National Economic Council.
While in the White House, he helped shepherd through the record tax cut package in 2017 but later became at odds with the president. He left the advisory position in April 2018 and was replaced by former CNBC host Larry Kudlow.
After heading back into the private sector, Cohn partnered with Cliff Robbins to form Cohn Robbins Holding Corp to launch a special purpose investment company, or SPAC. Despite accepting the position at IBM, Cohn said he will continue his involvement with Robbins.

Health experts warn of 'silent killer' ... radon
Amanda Cuda, Staff Writer
Published 5:20 pm PST, Sunday, January 1, 2012
Bridgeport health and social services director Kristin duBay Horton knows that the typical person doesn't spend much time thinking about radon. In fact, until a few years ago, even she knew little about the odorless, colorless gas that's the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers.
"Despite being in public health, radon isn't something I really thought about," she said.
Like most people, duBay Horton became exponentially more interested in radon when buying a house six years ago. Radon tests are part of most real estate transactions, and duBay Horton had one on her prospective new home as well. To her shock, the home's levels were so high that the people testing the home thought there had been an error. The reading was even more alarming, as the woman who had previously lived in the house had died of lung cancer -- even though she was a non-smoker.
In recent years, she said she's been more vigilant about radon and its potentially harmful effects. January is National Radon Action Month, and many public health advocates are urging state residents to get their homes tested.
"Radon is certainly an issue that we encourage all homeowners to be aware of," said William Gerrish, spokesman for the Connecticut Department of Public Health. "You can't see it or smell it, so people are often unaware that it exists in their home."
However, the department estimates that about one of every five homes in the state has elevated radon levels and the Environmental Protection Agency estimates that about 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year are linked to the gas.
Radon is a naturally-occurring radioactive gas formed from the natural decay of uranium. It's found in rocks, soil and water. Outdoors, the gas is relatively harmless but it can enter homes and become a health hazard.
The gas is measured in picocuries per liter. A picocurie is one trillionth of a curie, which is a standard measure for radioactivity. The EPA recommends that homeowners with radon levels at 4 picocuries per liter in their houses fix the problem. However, the state health department recommends that homeowners should consider reducing radon levels greater than 2 picocuries per liter.
The levels in duBay Horton's home were measured at more than 13 picocuries per liter. Thus, she had it fixed immediately. Radon problems can be corrected by qualified radon contractors, with costs typically ranging between $1,200 and $1,500. Though Bridgeport doesn't do testing, duBay Horton said city officials will supply homeowners with a list of companies that do testing on request.
Some towns offer radon test kits, including Trumbull and Stratford.
Kits can also be ordered from National Radon Program Services, at http://sosradon.org/test-kits or by calling the American Lung Association of New England at 1-800-LUNG-USA.
Her home-buying experience made her more sensitive to the issue of radon testing, duBay Horton said, and she urges Bridgeport residents who have lived in, or plan to live in, their homes for a long time to consider testing.
"If you're not buying or selling a house, you don't think of testing," she said.

State warns residents of a silent household killer


ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MO - Missouri American Water temporarily halted repair work Sunday due to the threat of icy road conditions. The extreme cold snap has kept the company from being able to keep up with an unprecedented number of repairs.
Spokesman Brian Russell said 47 crews were working Sunday to try and catch up on a 200-call backlog. The company has been averaging approximately 70 repairs a day but water main breaks have not subsided. Russell said the company has made more than 500 repairs since December 31st.
Russell praised crews for working long hours during a two-week stretch where temperatures have not been above the freezing mark and encourages customers to continue to report any water main breaks they see.


10 Years Time | What Does Mel Think?
For a lot of people the future is scary, but I love to sit and day dream about where I see myself in 10 years. What started this was my Grandad complaining that so many people go into university and get to the age of 20 without actually having any ambition or goals. It kind of woke me up to the fact that now I'm 'officially' an adult I should be thinking about what I want to do in my adult life. I have always had dreams but I wanted to try and think of something achievable so I can look back at the age of 28 and see how I have done.
To be content with my career which will hopefully involve writing and books, and to feel as if I am progressing through it to reach a stable position where I am comfortable.
To be married or engaged, in my mind mid to late 20s has always been the age that I want to settle down and think about starting a family. Hopefully if number 1 happens I will be financially stable enough to do so!
To have travelled a lot with my boyfriend, I'm thinking weekend getaways to Paris or New York, and a holiday to Australia or New Zealand.
To have found a house in an area where I am comfortable living, eg. not too far from my parents that I can't see them at least once a week but also the right location for my job.
To maintain the close relationship I have with my family. This won't be hard because I am a huuugely family orientated person but I will put in all the effort to see my lovely family as much as possible.
To be happy. Ultimately this is the biggest goal for me and if none of the above happen but I am still totally content with where I am and where I'm heading I will not have a problem. And probably by then I will have grown an awful lot and made entirely new plans for the next 10 years!
What are your goals for the future and do you think we should all know where we are aiming in life? Leave a comment to let me know.
Nice goals, something to aim towards and something incredible to look back on! If you come to New Zealand I would high recommend visiting Kuaotunu in the Coromandel in the North Island it has the most beautiful beaches and Rotorua is a great place for tourist attractions.

Alberta Regulator Probes Kinder Morgan's Failure to Disclose Climate Risk
WhisperToMe/Wikipedia
Sustained and growing opposition in British Columbia may turn out to be the least of Kinder Morgan Canada's problems, after the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) agreed Monday to review Greenpeace's complaint that the company failed to adequately disclose the climate risks it faces when it issued its first annual report.
"Under Alberta's securities law, a failure to fully disclose risks to shareholders can result in fraud charges or class action lawsuits," Greenpeace Canada notes in a release.
"The opposition of the B.C. government is only one ripple in a sea of troubles facing Kinder Morgan Canada (KML)," said Senior Energy Strategist Keith Stewart. "In its report to shareholders, the company admits that climate change threatens its facilities, and that the alliance of Indigenous and environmental climate protectors may block construction of its Trans Mountain Expansion Pipeline." But "despite these disclosures, we believe the company is still underplaying the risk that a successful transition to a low-carbon economy would pose to their business model."
Monday's release, a summary of Greenpeace's 13-page assessment of KML's 2017 annual report, says the company acknowledged public opposition to the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, technology and policy changes resulting in reduced fossil fuel demand, and climate impacts like sea level rise and extreme weather, as threats to the project.
However, Kinder failed to disclose legal and fraud investigations facing fossil companies that have bought space on the pipeline, or include a low-carbon scenario in its public analysis. The recent Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) "recommended that all organizations exposed to climate-related risks use scenario analysis to help inform their strategic and financial planning process—and to disclose how resilient their strategies are to a range of plausible climate-related scenarios," including compliance with the Paris agreement, Greenpeace notes.
"KML acknowledges that it is exposed to a range of climate-related risks, but does not provide a coherent assessment of how these risks inform their planning or how resilient their business strategy is" in a low-carbon future.
"What is Kinder Morgan's Plan B for the scenario where the world stops global warming?" Stewart asked. "Whether it's acknowledging the threat posed by the lawsuits alleging oil companies hid what they knew about climate change, or spelling out what management would do if new technology and climate policies reduce the demand for oil, Kinder Morgan needs to come clean with its investors and the public."
In another call for disclosure, a shareholder motion in late March instructed Kinder Morgan Canada's Houston-based parent company to set methane reduction targets by this fall. The proposal "says a strong program of measurement, mitigation, target-setting, and disclosure would reduce the company's regulatory and legal risk," the Seeking Alpha blog reports.
In a shocking, truly shocking development, "KMI's board recommends shareholders vote against the proposal, saying such a report would duplicate other efforts the company is making to reduce its carbon footprint."

Stephen Heins says:
It is hard to retain a modicum of respect for any environmental group who games the legal system, especially if they invoke their sense of moral rectitude and intellectual superiority.
Mitchell Beer says:
I don't know why you think anyone is gaming the legal system. Several international bodies, one of them led by the former governor of the Bank of Canada, did necessary and groundbreaking work on disclosure of climate-related risk — not to dictate a course of action for any company, but just to better make sure potential shareholders are informed of the potential risks they're investing in. Based on that standard, a well-researched package of evidence was presented to a regulator. The regulator assessed the merits of that evidence and decided to investigate further.
Does that mean the environmental group is gaming the system, or providing an essential public service by helping the regulator fulfill its mandate?
And, just curious — if the regulator does eventually conclude that Kinder Morgan, a direct descendant of the disgraced Enron empire, deliberately or inadvertently (since it could be either) withheld information it should properly have provided to its investors…well, now, you wouldn't be about to accuse Kinder of gaming the system, now, would you?
I enjoy your energy- mix stories. Who or what organizations sponsor the editorial?
Gloria Taylor
I'm glad you like The Mix, Gloria, and thanks for asking.
Ottawa-based Smarter Shift Inc. launched The Energy Mix nearly four years ago, originally as a modest service project and an experiment in community journalism, and has funded it ever since. I volunteer my time as publisher/curator, and Smarter Shift covers fees for the rest of the Energy Mix team and any other expenses that come up. We recently spun off the digest and archive as a separate non-profit, Energy Mix Productions, to better reflect the way the publication is evolving.
The intent is to deliver independent, reliable content that is unbiased in telling individual stories — with a story selection process that is relentlessly and proudly biased toward moving farther, faster on climate change mitigation and adaptation and accelerating the transition to a post-carbon world. I really hope we hit that standard!

This is Proto's Ultimate Fused Form.
He's already a fused being, originally as a mouse/rat to become combined w/ Cat's Wrath to be a cat-mouse/rat hybrid.
This form, he's also a mix of the other parts of his/my birthday before; snake, dragon and tiger.
So in this state he has a lot of capabilities, like one being able to stretch his neck out like a snake striking w/ "lightning speed" and more.
