The Club Renaissance was a proposed 60-story condominium tower that would have been built in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada. Besides residential units, other features would include office space, retail, and restaurants. The project was announced in January 2005, and construction was originally scheduled to begin later that year.

Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman initially praised the project for its affordability, noting the $150,000 starting price of its condo units, although he later threatened to revoke approval of the project in 2007, as construction had yet to begin. The project was ultimately canceled following financial issues.

History
Marketing of the Club Renaissance began in December 2004. The project was officially announced the following month, by developers Diversified Real Estate Group and Downtown Redevelopment Group. Club Renaissance would consist of a 60-story condominium tower with 950 units. Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman noted the $150,000 starting price for condominiums in the project, saying, "I like the affordability of it." Philippe Pageau-Goyette, the president of Diversified Real Estate Group, planned for Club Renaissance to be the least-expensive high-rise condominium in the Las Vegas Valley, and said 95 percent of the project's inhabitants would be local residents: "I don't want to go after luxury, I want to go after locals. As of right now, we have no competition in the locals affordable market. A lot of guys are doing luxury."

The project was planned for a 1.5-acre parcel owned by Diversified, located at the southeast corner of Casino Center Boulevard and Bonneville Street in downtown Las Vegas. The target demographic consisted of young professionals who wanted to live in the downtown area. The Club Renaissance was one of several new projects being built in the downtown area, which was seeing a surge in redevelopment. Downtown Las Vegas was chosen for the project because of the area's large employee base, including lawyers.

The entire project would cost $300 million, and would include  of retail space, located on the first floor. Other amenities on the lower floors were to include restaurants, a food market, child day care, and dry cleaners. An additional  of office space would be located on the 13th and 14th floors, with condominium units beginning on floor 15. The top two floors were to include a private club and fitness center. The building would include several floors of parking, with a total of 1,400 spaces.

Construction was originally scheduled to begin in July 2005, and was expected to last about 18 months, with completion by 2007. The project received approval from the Las Vegas City Council in February 2005. Several historic railroad cottages located on the property were expected to be relocated to the Springs Preserve. The tower, expected to be 702 feet high, was one of the taller high-rise projects to be approved for downtown Las Vegas. Sales began in October 2005, at which point the starting price for units had increased into the $400,000 range because of rises in steel, concrete and labor costs. As of February 2006, the cottages remained on the site, with little progress on the Club Renaissance. Gilles Pageau, a Canadian developer and the uncle of Philippe Pageau-Goyette, said he had invested $60 million of his money into the project and that he had been offered an additional $400 million from various banks to cover the construction costs. Pageau said at the time that the project would still be built.

In February 2007, Goodman gave the developers two weeks to demonstrate to the Las Vegas City Council that the project was nearing construction; otherwise, he said the approval for the project would be revoked. Leanord Mussina, a spokesman for the project, had told the city council, "We're just a victim of construction costs. Financing has dried up to a large extent for Las Vegas. We're redesigning, trying to value engineer, to do something affordable. We're in negotiations with some large construction companies to joint venture at this point, because that's the only way to finance it." Mussina estimated that it could be up to a year before the start of construction, to which Goodman responded, "I'm not interested in a year. I've been to three groundbreakings there so far and haven't seen ground broke." Approximately $8 million or $9 million had already been spent on the project up to that point.

The city council ultimately granted the project a six-month extension. At the time, part of the property that was to be used for the project was in foreclosure. By March 2007, the project had been purchased out of foreclosure by Los Angeles architect Mark Vaghei and engineer Nabih Yousseff for nearly $3.5 million. The pair had previously placed $1.2 million in liens on the property. After their purchase, they began redesigning the project to be smaller, but Club Renaissance ultimately did not materialize.

Grazeland, The 10,000sqm Food Precinct In Melbourne's West Has Finally Opened
By Rick Stephens
The west is really having a moment, and the vibe is only going to continue with the opening of Grazeland, a 10,000sqm food haven by the Yarra River's entrance to the bay.
True to the name, the airy space is all about grazing, and grazing you shall do with offerings ranging from far and wide: expect the likes of award-winning pizza from 48h, Bengali-style curries from The Calcutta Club, and freshly shucked oysters and lobster rolls from Claw & Tail. Meanwhile, on dessert duties is Stix with their frozen cheesecake and Cielo Gelateria scooping up classic gelato.
The team behind Grazeland wanted to pay homage to the street parties of yesteryear, where everyone could get involved and feel comfortable in their surroundings while enjoying some top-notch food and drink.
"We're very excited for people to be able to head to Grazeland in March. It will be a great weekend destination for families and friends to come together to relax and be entertained. We welcome Melburnians from across the city to explore more of what Melbourne's inner-west has to offer," says Cr Jonathon Marsden, Mayor of Hobsons Bay.
Grazeland is officially open for business. You can get there via a 17 minute train from Flinders Street, a short drive across the Westgate, or, get all boujee and take a boat.
Make a night of it and check out the new outdoor cinema by the Williamstown docks.

Der Windpark Pottendorf, auch Windpark Pottendorf/Tattendorf ist ein Windpark in den Gemeinden Pottendorf und Tattendorf im Bezirk Baden (Niederösterreich). Der Windpark wurde zwischen 2014 und 2015 errichtet und umfasst 15 Windkraftanlagen. Der Windpark steht in Besitz der Wien Energie.

Lage
Der Windpark Pottendorf liegt im Norden der Gemeinde Pottendorf bzw. im Südosten der Gemeinde Tattendorf. Er erstreckt sich zwischen der Piesting im Nordwesten, der Südautobahn im Nordosten, der Fischa im Südosten und der Landesstraße 157 (Badener Straße) im Südwesten. Im Norden schließen sich der Windpark Tattendorf (8 Anlagen) und der Windpark Oberwaltersdorf (6 Anlagen) an.

Von den 15 Windkraftanlagen liegen drei in der Gemeinde Tattendorf, die übrigen in der Gemeinde Pottendorf. Alle Anlage wurden inmitten von landwirtschaftlich genutzten Flächen errichtet.

Geschichte

Das Genehmigungsverfahren für den Windpark dauerte mehrere Jahre. Danach starteten die Bauarbeiten mit Vermessungsarbeiten sowie auf Grund des nahe gelegenen Truppenübungsplatzes Großmittel mit der Suche nach Kampfmitteln. Nach archäologischen Untersuchungen sowie der Befestigungen von Zufahrtswegen begann die Herstellung von Kranstellflächen. Im Juli 2014 wurde mit der Errichtung der Fundamente für die Windkraftanlagen begonnen. Als Generalunternehmer fungierte die Ökoenergie Projektentwicklung GmbH. Für den Bau des Windparks wurden insgesamt 66 Millionen Euro investiert. Nach 15 Monaten Bauzeit ging der Windpark im Jahr 2015 in Betrieb. Die feierliche Eröffnung erfolgte am 19. Juni 2016 mit einem Eröffnungsfest, an dem 900 Besucher teilnahmen.

Der Windpark versorgt rechnerisch rund 28.000 Haushalte und produziert jährlich rund 94.400 Megawattstunden Energie. An vier der Anlagen konnten sich interessierte Bürger beteiligen, wobei die Anteile innerhalb von wenigen Minuten ausverkauft waren.

Technik
 12 Anlagen vom Hersteller Enercon E-101, 3 MW, Rotordurchmesser 101 Meter, Nabenhöhe 135 Meter
 3 Anlagen Enercon E-82, 2,3 MW, Rotordurchmesser 82 Meter, Nabenhöhe 108 Meter

It is officially fall here in Toronto, as the leaves are just starting to change colour and the weather has certainly seen a drop in the mercury. Brrr.
When the leaves start to change colour and fall it makes for some very beautiful scenery. I suggest planning a day trip to a park and checking it out. I went to Edwards Gardens last Thanksgiving long-weekend and it was wonderful.
As the temperature continues to drop these become a necessity. I actually really like autumn for this reason. I love being able to wear warm, cuddly sweaters without being too cold. It's a very nice in-between and I love being able to cuddle up in sweaters.
Even in sweater-overkill like the models above.
I don't know about you but I live for the 3 times a year I am guaranteed a big turkey dinner with all the fixings (Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter). I love that it takes upwards of 6 hours to cook the turkey, I love the smell it gives off, and I love the wonderful sleepiness of the tryptophan. I love that I have one dinner with my family and another with John's family. Turkeyyyyy. I should start demanding turkey for my birthday dinner.
I really love everything about squash. They make for such great decor peices and they also taste really good. Nutritious and delicious. I made a surprisingly good squash tart earlier in August (recipe here) and I think I will make it again. My favourite would probably have to be the spaghetti squash. You cut it in half, bake it for about 45 mins and then go at it pulled-pork style with a fork. I often eat it like spaghetti too with sauce and cheese. If you've never had it, BUY ONE.
This is what it looks like and the open side on the left is what it looks like when you scrape it out.
I love Halloween. I get to dress up and pretend I know how to put on makeup. I went trick-or-treating until I was 15. No joke. My best friend and I are both under 5'3" and withour youthful visages we still get mistaken for teenagers. I could probably go this year and only get a few "aren't you a little old for this?" looks. Or I could just do what I learned from my mom and buy several packages of the candy and eat most of them before Halloween actually rolls around. Important life lessons. Thanks, mom.
So there you have it, your 'Good Things' for October.
I'm off to a country fair this weekend so you can expect some pictures and hopefully some good country stories.


Europe is struggling to keep pace with the US when it comes to installing Wi-Fi on aeroplanes, due to technical difficulties and the consequential large sums of money needed.
Jan Remmer ter Haseborg, product engineer for innovation at Lufthansa Technik – the independent division of the German airline which develops and provides Wi-Fi technologies for numerous airline partners – made the claim at Aruba Networks' annual European conference in Alicante.
Many domestic airlines in the US have adopted Wi-Fi on their craft by using ground-based technology, which makes the process much simpler than the satellite technology used in Europe.
Not only can the US use this spectrum for Wi-Fi signals, but it also has companies willing to stump up the expense of building out the infrastructure.
"Gogo has made up a business model providing connectivity to aircraft. It works as a service provider, so the passenger is paying directly to Gogo, not to the airline. We don't have a similar system in Europe or Asia," said Remmer ter Haseborg.
Instead of this ground-based model, coupled with a service provider, Europe is only able to install Wi-Fi using satellite systems, which makes deployment expensive.
Providing connectivity is more costly for airlines in Europe, particularly on short-haul flights, so they have to decide if it is really worth the greater investment, he said.
There is no hiding from the growing trend of Wi-Fi everywhere, and passengers are starting to demand the services, but it will take a lot more effort and a lot of working together to make in-flight Wi-Fi ubiquitous across Europe.
"If installations become cheaper and the initial investment is much less, then there might be some added value for airlines to provide Wi-Fi to customers, even on short-haul flights," said Remmer ter Haseborg.
Some airlines in Europe are already investing in Wi-Fi provision, but if a provider in Europe were to invest in the infrastructure, as Gogo has in the US, or if satellite prices were to drop, then it might come faster, he said.
"In the US you have the united states; here we have all the different countries which would have to deal with licences and frequencies – it is a lot more complicated and it is really a technical challenge to get it working within all different countries across Europe," said Remmer ter Haseborg.
All of the "Google" citations are really about "Gogo" as an FYI.
Yeah. Supposed to be Gogo, not Google.
This is poorly written and poorly researched. Google? Wow.

UNICEF first launched the Child Friendly Cities initiative in Belarus in 2007. Since then, it has expanded widely around the country to bring an explicit child focus to the traditional, adult-oriented local governance system.
Twenty-five cities to date have joined the initiative including the capital, Minsk, as well as a few of the regional centres, such as Homiel and Brest, and others. Of these, 10 cities have already been granted honorable CFC status (Baranovichy, Brest, Minsk, Novogrudok, Novopolotsk, Pinsk, Polotsk, Pruzhany, Soligorsk and Zhodino). The population of the cities ranges from 30,000 to 1.4 million.
The objectives of the initiative are: 1) to create an enabling environment for child development; 2) promote inter-sectoral collaboration around child-related issues; and 3) enable meaningful participation of children and youth in decision-making processes. The initiative places particular emphasis on child and youth participation through youth councils and assessment measures.
A primary feature of the initiative is the "Child Friendliness Index" which has seven parameters that measure child well-being and development, including a unique measure for child participation in decision-making. The index not only serves as an assessment tool, but also as a mechanism to dedicate the efforts of the municipality around specific areas concerning children at the city level.
The CFCI Coordination Council, a body that includes officials from the National Assembly, Ministries of Health, Education, Labour, and Social Protection, Internal Affairs, and Foreign Affairs, as well as representatives from non-governmental organizations, local authorities, and UNICEF coordinates the CFCI in Belarus. The Council advocates for CFCI priorities, provides ongoing technical support and guidance, training and national leadership over the course of the programme and maintains the CFCI webpage.
To be formally recognized as child-friendly, a city must assess local conditions in partnership with children and youth, community members and other stakeholders and have sufficient baseline data and indicators. It must also have a City Action Plan that prioritizes child needs, which will be monitored using the Child Friendliness Index.
If the city shows significant improvement in the prioritized needs over a three-year period, it receives the honourable status of Child Friendly City, which promotes the city as a favourable place for children and families to live in. The award is given by the CFCI Coordination Council.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD'S END (PG-13) See review.
THE VALET 3 stars (PG-13) In this French farce, a parking valet pretends to be the boyfriend of a supermodel when her real lover's wife gets suspicious.
CASABLANCA (1942) 5 stars (NR) Arguably the most atmospheric and cleverly written romance Hollywood ever made, with delightful supporting players and superb musical choices. Humphrey Bogart plays a cynical nightclub owner torn between love and idealism when his long-lost soulmate (Ingrid Bergman) turns up married to a resistance fighter (Paul Henreid). Round up the usual suspects and see it again. Screen on the Green. May 31 at dusk. Piedmont Park meadow near 10th and Monroe. Free. 404-878-2600. -- Curt Holman

-- Felicia Feaster
KLIMT 3 stars (Not Rated) Chilean director Raul Ruiz offers a typically surreal take on the life of Austrian secessionist painter Gustav Klimt, more fantastic snapshot of the painter's sexual preoccupations and hotheaded temperament than conventional biopicture. John Malkovich plays the painter as a sexually promiscuous maverick whose story begins in the hospital where he lays weakened by syphilis. Fans of Klimt will enjoy the director's translation of the decadent, heady world of the turn-of-the-century Vienna that nurtured painters such as Klimt and Egon Schiele (Nikolai Kinski) though Ruiz's stream-of-consciousness style (influenced by the Austrian writer Arthur Schnitzler) may irritate just as many. Wed., May 30, 7 p.m. Goethe Zentrum, 1197 Peachtree St. $3-$4. 404-892-2388. www.german-institute.org.-- Felicia Feaster
THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (1975) (R) The cult classic of cult classics, the musical horror spoof follows an all-American couple (Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick) to the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry), a drag queen/mad scientist from another galaxy. It's all fun and games until Meat Loaf gets killed. Dress as your favorite character and participate in this musical on acid. Midnight Fri. at Lefont Plaza Theatre and Sat. at Peachtree Cinema & Games, Norcross.
28 WEEKS LATER 3 stars (R) Following the outbreak of the "rage" virus in Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later that turned most of the population of mainland Britain into crazed berserkers, this sequel takes up after the crisis has passed — or so it seems. Under U.S. military control, English civilians such as a haunted father (Robert Carlyle) and his two children (Imogen Poots and Mackintosh Muggleton) move back to a London safe zone until all hell breaks loose again. Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo may surpass Boyle's ability to craft jittery, unnerving thrill scenes, but the script's harsh anti-U.S. sensibility relies on plot points too nonsensical to be easily ignored in the film's last half-hour. -- Holman
AFTER THE WEDDING 3 stars (R) One of this year's Oscar nominees for Best Foreign Language film, this Danish drama depicts a schoolteacher in India (Casino Royale's bad guy Mads Mikkelsen) who returns to his native Denmark to woo a potential philanthropist and discovers family ties he didn't know he had at a wedding. Thanks to the cast's realistic responses to some melodramatic plot points and Susanne Bier's energetic storytelling, After the Wedding combines fish-out-of-water humor and heated family conflicts without feeling like a Danish soap opera. -- Holman
ARE WE DONE YET? 2 stars (PG) In this modern interpretation of the 1948 postwar classic Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House family man Nick Persons (Ice Cube) moves from a city apartment to a drool-worthy country mansion but finds himself and his house wrapped around the finger of an outlandish local contractor (a genuinely uproarious John C. McGinley). The laughs are few and far between — mostly courtesy of McGinley — though Ice Cube's scowl and introverted, impacted emotions come in handy in expressing homeowner building angst. -- Feaster
AWAY FROM HER 5 stars (PG-13) An exceptionally accomplished and thoughtful directorial debut feature from the actress Sarah Polley. An absolutely luminous Julie Christie delivers one of the best performances of her career as a Canadian woman suffering from Alzheimer's disease, who along with her husband (Gordon Pinsent) makes the difficult decision to enter a nursing home. What happens after she does is unpredictable, emotionally harrowing and an incredibly moving statement about marriage, old age, death and dying. Not to be missed. -- Feaster
BLACK BOOK 4 stars (R) In the Netherlands in 1944, a Jewish fugitive (Carice van Houten) turns femme fatale as an anti-Nazi resistance fighter, only to discover that things aren't as black-and-white as it seems. Dutch director Paul Verhoeven returns to his homeland after making such lurid, visceral Hollywood product as Basic Instinct, Showgirls and Starship Troopers, with results that can be both thrilling and ridiculously melodramatic. Instead of coming across as a caricature of femininity, Van Houten's star-making performance always feel credible and anchors the film despite its borderline-ludicrous plot twists. -- Holman
BLADES OF GLORY 3 stars (PG-13) Two figure skaters, played by fey Jon Heder and swaggering Will Ferrell, attempt to put aside their bitter rivalry and become the first man-on-man ice-skating team. Will Ferrell's typical comedies let the funny outfits do half the work, but Blades of Glory improves on the formula with stranger, snappier dialogue ("Get out of my face!" "I'll get inside your face!"), a wonderfully bizarre vision of professional skating and an ability to tweak gay panic without resorting to actual homophobia. Ferrell and Heder make amusing foils, and the film gives "Arrested Development" fans a treat by reuniting Will Arnett and Amy Poehler as a psychotically competitive brother-sister figure skating team. -- Holman
BOY CULTURE (NR) A successful Seattle-based male escort describes his tangled relationships with his two roommates and an older male client. Directed by Q. Allen Brocka.
DELTA FARCE (PG-13) Starring Blue Collar Comics Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall, the film follows three inept Iraq-bound soldiers who are accidently dropped in Mexico. Hilarity ensues. Directed by C.B. Harding.
DISTURBIA 3 stars (PG-13) A likable but troubled teen (Shia LaBeouf) under house arrest turns self-appointed neighborhood watch and suspects the guy next door (David Morse) of being a murderer. Director D.J. Caruso proves interested in the voyeuristic POV shots of the premise, at least as a technical exercise, and LaBeouf and Morse lend snap to their roles. Despite being a transparent Hitchcock imitation, Disturbia persuasively argues that the time may be ripe to revisit Rear Window's themes, thanks to advances in picture phones, digital cameras and other gadgets of the YouTube generation. -- Holman
THE EX (PG-13) From director Jesse Peretz, this comedy stars Zach Braff and Amanda Peet as newlyweds Tom and Sophia. When Sophia decides the family should return to Ohio so she can be a stay-at-home mom and Tom can work for her father, life as a new family unit gets a bit more complicated when an old flame of Sophia's (Jason Bateman) threatens to break up their love nest.
FAY GRIM 1 star (R) Indie-precious auteur Hal Hartley returns with a sequel to his 1998 Henry Fool starring Parker Posey as a Queens housewife (as if), strapped with a delinquent teenage son (Liam Aiken) and a brother (James Urbaniak) in prison, who finds out the husband Henry Fool (Thomas Jay Ryan) she thought was dead may actually be alive and wanted by the CIA for his subversive international activities. Hartley's usual droll, mannered comic style does not mix well with his feeble attempts at Syriana-style geopolitical skulduggery in this laborious, emotionally hollow affair.-- Feaster
FRACTURE (R) Crime thriller starring Anthony Hopkins as a meticulous engineer accused of murdering his adulterous wife. Ryan Gosling (Half Nelson) plays the district attorney in charge of bringing him to justice. Directed by Gregory Hoblit (Hart's War) and co-stars David Strathairn and Embeth Davidtz.
GEORGIA RULE (R) Never straying too far from tabloid caricature, Lindsay Lohan stars in this emotionally diarrhetic melodrama as Rachel, a sexually promiscuous hell-raising California girl parked with her earthy, sensible grandmother (Jane Fonda, a real woman in a cast of cheap imitations) in Idaho for the summer. Gary Marshall attempts to wrassle some big social issues like alcoholism (Rachel's mom played by Felicity Huffman is a lush) and incest to the ground. But Marshall's dingbat, superficial sensibility triumphs in the end, making even molestation seem as inconsequential as prostitution was in Pretty Woman.-- Feaster
GRINDHOUSE 3 stars (R) Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez team up for a self-contained double feature that pays homage to sleazy exploitation films of the 1970s and the seedy cinemas that screened them. Rodriguez's zombie spoof Planet Terror goes almost exclusively for juvenile gross-outs, although Rose McGowan creates an iconic character as a go-go dancer turned zombie killer who's like a cross between Wonder Woman and the Bride of Frankenstein. Tarantino takes Death Proof more seriously by affectionately introducing the strong, likeable female characters (including Rosario Dawson and stuntwoman Zoe Bell as herself) stalked by a psycho stunt driver (Kurt Russell). Apart from Death Proof's breathtaking final car chase, Grindhouse's most appealing qualities are its hilarious fake movie trailers and its evocation of the scratchy prints and missing reels of old film prints. -- Holman
HOME OF THE BRAVE (R) Directed by Irwin Winkler, this war drama stars Samuel L. Jackson and Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson as returning Iraq war veterans adjusting to life back at home.
HOT FUZZ 3 stars (R) A London supercop (co-writer Simon Pegg) finds himself transferred to a seemingly crime-free English village, which turns out to be far more dangerous than it seems. Pegg and director/co-writer Edgar Wright satirize action-movie clichés with the same blend of affection and adrenaline that they brought to their zombie romantic comedy Shaun of the Dead. Pegg and Wright pen an air-tight screenplay, charged with the vocabulary of Hollywood shoot-em-ups (tight close-ups and booming sound effects can accompany the most mundane actions). Partnered again with Nick Frost as a bumbling police officer, Pegg and Wright display a sense of humor that should be registered as a lethal weapon. To hear an exclusive podcast interview with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, visit atlanta.creativeloafing.com and click on Flicks. -- Holman
IMAX THEATER Hurricane on the Bayou (NR) Shot before and after the unprecedented devastation of Hurricane Katrina by director Greg MacGillivray, this documentary brings into focus the startling loss of Louisiana's rapidly disappearing coastal wetlands that are New Orleans' first line of defense against deadly storms. Starring Meryl Streep, Allen Toussaint II and Tab Benoit. Wired to Win: Surviving the Tour de France(NR) explores the minds of cyclists training for the Tour de France and studies the effects of the race on their brains. Fernbank Museum of Natural History IMAX Theater, 767 Clifton Road. 404-929-6300. www.fernbank.edu.
THE INVISIBLE (PG-13) High school teenager Nick (Justin Chatwin) becomes trapped in a kind of limbo between the living and dead after being mistaken for someone else and attacked by a disturbed girl (Margarita Levieva). Supernatural thriller from David S. Goyer features Marcia Gay Harden.
LUCKY YOU (PG-13) Set in Las Vegas' high-stakes poker world, Huck Cheever (Eric Bana) struggles with personal challenges (including a complicated relationship with his father, poker legend L.C. Cheever, played by Robert Duvall) while trying to win the World Poker Championship and the heart of Billie Offer (Drew Barrymore). From director Curtis Hanson (8 Mile, Wonder Boys).
MEET THE ROBINSONS (G) A schoolboy inventor travels to the future and meets a lovably eccentric family. This computer-animated family flick is based on A Day With Wilbur Robinson by William Joyce, whose playfully retro children's books inspired the kid's shows "Rolie Polie Olie" and "George Shrinks," not to mention the cool designs of Robots.
THE NAMESAKE 2 stars (PG-13) Mira Nair's (Monsoon Wedding) latest foray into cross-cultural ennui is a bit of a disappointment. When her adaptation of Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Jhumpa Lahiri's novel is focused on recent newlyweds Ashima (Tabu) and Ashoke (Irfan Khan) as they make the difficult immigrant's journey from bright, warm Calcutta to grim Queens in the '70s the film succeeds beautifully. But when Nair's attention turns to their dour teenage hatchling Gogol (Kal Penn) in this epic family drama of cultural collision between the old world and the new, the film loses some energy. Gogol's bratty angst just doesn't carry the emotional gravitas of his parents' loneliness and yearning and every time the attention is on the younger generation's problems the film suffers. -- Feaster
NEXT (PG-13) Cris Johnson (Nicholas Cage) is able to see a few minutes into the future — a gift that sometimes causes him more trouble than it's worth. Sick of being treated like a science project by the government, he flees to Las Vegas to see if he can make something out of always knowing what comes next. Julianne Moore and Jessica Biel also star. Directed by Lee Tamahori.
PERFECT STRANGER 1 star (R) Without big names Bruce Willis and Halle Berry, this stupidly serpentine sex thriller with an unbearably hackneyed twist ending would have been direct-to-cable fare. Like soft-core Nancy Drew, Berry is a maverick reporter who decides to use her sleuthing expertise, sex appeal and the help of a computer genius colleague (a wasted Giovanni Ribisi) to go after an advertising bigwig (Bruce Willis) she believes is behind a friend's gruesome murder. Very little seems plausible or even especially entertaining in this crass, throwaway thriller from the wildly uneven James Foley (At Close Range, Two Bits). -- Feaster
SHREK THE THIRD 2 stars (PG) Slovenly ogre Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) shirks his royal duties by trying to enlist the only other heir, meek teen Arthur (de facto king of pop Justin Timberlake). Smug and self-congratulatory, Shrek the Third lacks the freshness and energy of its predecessors and takes perfunctory potshots at such cutting-edge topics as high school, dinner theater, hippies and vain, snobby princesses (although such voice actresses as Amy Sedaris offfer amusingly ditzy turns). -- Holman
SPIDER-MAN 3 4 stars (PG-13) In the third and most entertaining of director Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, the darker impulses of normally sunny superhero Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) take over thanks in part to an alien parasite that provides him with a black costume and a bad attitude. Awkwardly paced and top-heavy with new characters, Spider-Man 3 nevertheless keeps the conflicts rooted in character while improving on the spectacular special effects of the earlier films. If it's a little tiresome to see girlfriend Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) constantly in peril, the creativity and excitement of freaky, poignant villains such as the Sandman (Thomas Haden Church) take up the slack in Raimi's web. -- Holman
VACANCY (R) Nimród Antal's horror film stars Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale as a couple forced to spend the night in a roadside motel after their car breaks down. After finding hidden cameras in the room and a terrifying snuff film playing on the VCR, they realize they must escape before they become the stars -- and victims — of a real-life horror flick.
WAITRESS (PG-13) From director Adrienne Shelly comes this romantic comedy about a small town waitress who is pregnant with her abusive husband's baby and finds love with the new doctor in town.
YEAR OF THE DOG 4 stars (PG-13) Screenwriter Mike White's (Chuck & Buck, School of Rock) directorial debut is a gingerly misanthropic anti-chick flick about a woman, Peggy (Molly Shannon) crazy for dogs who goes through a radical life change when her beloved beagle, Pencil, dies. Defying every expectation about where such stories are "supposed" to go, this deadpan comedy and wonderfully openhearted film is a small triumph of go-it's-own-way indie cinema. Shannon is a revelation playing an utterly idiosyncratic and lovable woman who sees life very differently from the people around her. -- Feaster

Worst Dressed In Sports Draft History
The comedy Talladega Nights portrays the life of a NASCAR driver named Ricky Bobby, a character played by actor Will Ferrell. This vehicle, the No. 26 Wonder Bread Chevy Monte Carlo is one of the two cars driven by Ferrell's character in the flick. They were later auctioned off for charity.
This iconic ride is known as the "Deathmobile" from the cultural classic film Animal House. The comedy, with a premise focused on college debauchery and fraternity life, features the black 1966 Lincoln Continental which began as the weekend loaner vehicle from a pledge's older brother. It is used in a series of events in the flick.
This 1957 Plymouth Belvedere was used in the film Christine. The film interchanged vehicles between the 1958 Plymouth Fury, the 1957 Fury and other Chrysler models. The film is based on the thriller novel written by Stephen King.
Who could forget the smiling face on the front of this ride, a character known as Lightning McQueen. He is the movie's main character in the Pixar animated film Cars.
Keyshawn Johnson, 1st Pick in the 1996 NFL Draft
I think what happened here was that Keyshawn uses the same dry cleaners as Shaquille O'Neal and he picked up his suit on accident. The only reason to doubt this, though, is that the sleeves on that suit jacket would be like T-shirt sleeves on Shaq.

On Friday, March 14, 2014, TGI and Hewlett Packard (HP) hosted The Power of 3 Symposium, focusing on Innovation, Education and Interaction. Friends, clients and colleagues joined us for this innovative event all under the theme of our favorite holiday, St. Patrick's Day. Watch our video below to see what the day was all about, and read below for more information.
Innovation was the name of the day – from the way we transformed our workspace to the speakers we invited from around the country – we wanted to bring opportunities for provocative thinking to our attendees.
Leading by example was essential for this event to be a successful one. We developed event graphics pulling out all the stops in our production capabilities. We ran an integrated marketing campaign combining print, email, web, social and in-person touches. And we chose speakers who are leaders in their fields, providing the most innovative solutions to our customer's greatest challenges.
The goal of the Symposium was to provide great insight and ideas for clients and colleagues on the hottest challenges they are facing. We called in some of the leading marketing professionals and industry experts, to discuss marketing techniques and trends in today's multi-channel world. Integrated Marketing, Tradeshow ROI, Branding through Packaging , Video Storytelling, Efficiency in Marketing Automation and Wall Décor gave our clients a diverse range of topics to lean from.
We had some great people in the building –between clients, speakers and TGI employees. That is why when planning our Symposium, we wanted to make sure that the ideas presented had the opportunity to be discussed and that the sparks of innovation could be ignited. First, we ensured each presentation was designed to facilitate an interactive exchange. During lunch, we brought the St. Patty's Day theme to life with Irish Singers and Irish Dancers. During Cocktails and Connections, Fortune 500 marketers mingled with speakers to exchange ideas. We even brought in Comedian Joe Conklin to warm up the crowd with impressions of Philly's greatest sports stars, and brought in Philadelphia Eagle's Tight End Brent Celek. Scotland's finest, Jimmy McGinty joined us for the event, kilt and all, to share his enthusiasm and love for our favorite holiday.

Reverse transfer agreements allow students to finish earning their associate's degree from a two-year college like NMC while working on their bachelor's degree at a four-year college or university. This degree-completion opportunity is for students who have started their education at a community college and transfer to a four-year college or university before completing their associate's degree. It can allow students to reduce their time to obtain a degree, and their student debt.
Students who transfer to any four-year college or university from NMC before completing their associate's degree may still obtain their two-year degree from NMC, provided that they complete the associate's degree requirements while enrolled at their new school.
If a student is enrolled at one of NMC's Reverse Transfer Partners (listed below), transfer students should submit the appropriate Reverse Transfer Release form to the participating school's Office of the Registrar once all courses have been completed to fulfill the associate's degree requirement.

Q: A possible typo in this statement of optional stopping theorem I'm reading about optional stopping theorem from this note. In Optional stopping theorem, version 2 below, there is no restriction on the stopping times $T_1, T_2$, i.e., $0 \leq T_1 \leq T_2 \color{blue}{\leq +\infty}$. As such, $M_{T_1}, M_{T_2}$ may not be well-defined.

Could you confirm if there is a typo in the statement of that theorem?

Theorem 13.3. (Doob's optional stopping theorem, version 1) Let $\left(M_n, n \in \mathbb{N}\right)$ be a martingale with respect to $\left(\mathcal{F}_n, n \in \mathbb{N}\right)$, $N \in \mathbb N$ be fixed and $T_1, T_2$ be two stopping times such that $0 \leq T_1(\omega) \leq T_2(\omega) \leq N<+\infty, \forall \omega \in \Omega$. Then
$$
\mathbb{E}\left(M_{T_2} \mid \mathcal{F}_{T_1}\right)=M_{T_1} \text { a.s. }
$$
Theorem 14.2. (The martingale convergence theorem: first version) Let $\left(M_n, n \in \mathbb{N}\right.$ ) be a square-integrable martingale (i.e., a martingale such that $\mathbb{E}\left(M_n^2\right)<$ $+\infty$ for all $n \in \mathbb{N})$ with respect to a filtration $\left(\mathcal{F}_n, n \in \mathbb{N}\right)$. Under the additional assumption that
$$
\sup _{n \in \mathbb{N}} \mathbb{E}\left(M_n^2\right)<+\infty \quad (17)
$$
there exists a limiting random variable $M_{\infty}$ such that

*

*(i) $M_n \underset{n \rightarrow \infty}{\rightarrow \rightarrow} M_{\infty}$ almost surely.

*(ii) $\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \mathbb{E}\left(\left(M_n-M_{\infty}\right)^2\right)=0$ (quadratic convergence).

*(iii) $M_n=\mathbb{E}\left(M_{\infty} \mid \mathcal{F}_n\right)$, for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$ (this last property is referred to as the martingale $M$ being "closed at infinity").

Optional stopping theorem, version 2. Let $\left(\mathcal{F}_n, n \in \mathbb{N}\right)$ be a filtration, let $\left(M_n, n \in \mathbb{N}\right)$ be a square-integrable martingale with respect to $\left(\mathcal{F}_n, n \in \mathbb{N}\right)$ which satisfies condition (17) and let $0 \leq T_1 \leq T_2 \color{blue}{\leq +\infty}$ be two stopping times with respect to $\left(\mathcal{F}_n, n \in \mathbb{N}\right)$. Then
$$
\mathbb{E}\left(M_{T_2} \mid \mathcal{F}_{T_1}\right)=M_{T_1} \text { a.s. and } \quad \mathbb{E}\left(M_{T_2}\right)=\mathbb{E}\left(M_{T_1}\right).

Are Cucumbers Bad For You? - Here Is Your Answer.
Are Cucumbers Bad For You?
Cucumbers are very good for you. They are full of water, fiber and other important nutrients—keeping you hydrated, helping you maintain a healthy weight and much more.
When most of us think cucumbers, we envision the refreshing crunch of a summer salad or the cool, rejuvenating sensation of cucumber slices on the eyelids. From cuisine to skin care, cucumbers are used for a variety of purposes—and for a good reason. Cucumbers provide many benefits for your skin, body and general health and well-being.
First of all, cucumbers are comprised mainly of water—95 percent, to be exact. That means they help you stay hydrated, supplying about one-quarter of your daily recommended water intake in just one vegetable! And because cucumbers are mostly water, they're also low in calories: a cup of sliced cucumber only has about 16 calories.
But even though cucumbers are low-calorie, that doesn't mean they aren't filling. One cup contains about half a gram of soluble fiber. This helps you feel fuller longer because fiber breaks down into a gel-like substance once it's in your stomach, which slows digestion. This is also why fiber-rich foods are thought to help with weight control.
Cucumbers can also help freshen up your breath after a meal! Vegetables rich in fiber and water tend to make you salivate more, which helps to wash away the odor-causing bacteria that create bad breath. Next time you could use a little refresh, try pressing a small slice of cucumber against the roof of your mouth.
Beyond hydration, weight control and fresh breath, cucumbers offer even greater health benefits. They contain potassium, which is a vital electrolyte. It interacts with sodium to help your cells perform essential functions: nerve transmission, muscle contraction and even heart function. A diet rich in potassium has also been linked to a reduction in blood pressure.
Cucumbers also promote brain health. They contain fisetin, a powerful flavonol with anti-inflammatory properties. Fisetin has been shown to improve memory and guard nerve cells against damage that typically occurs as we age. Taking that one step farther, fisetin has also been shown to aid in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease: one animal study showed that fiestin helped prevent progressive learning and memory deterioration in subjects suffering from this disease.
Cucumbers offer many important benefits, and incorporating more of them into your diet is a great idea. Just be careful if you have certain allergies—the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia reports that cucumbers can trigger oral allergy syndrome in some individuals, particularly those with an allergy to ragweed.
You should also be cautious about which cucumbers you choose. The Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting human health and the environment, has ranked them as the 9th most contaminated food. To reduce your risk, choose organic cucumbers over those that have been conventionally grown with pesticides and other chemicals.


The goal of the deli2go Coffee Campaign 2017 was to communicate the outstanding "coffee competence" of deli2go as the catering operator in the Shell stations. We achieved this by compiling many informative and often humorous facts on the subject of coffee ("Did you know that ...") and producing various visually surprising and meaningful video contributions for the brand communication of deli2go.
In the course of the "competence offensive" and even before the start of the actual campaign, we revised the Shell website. The brand deli2go got its own subpage, which now offers a lot of important and interesting information about deli2go coffee.
To support the campaign at the POS, there were different sales-promoting measures and campaigns, such as the "Tasting Weeks" and the "Get Your Cup" and "Free Refill" activities. For these campaigns, we also developed accompanying videos and print materials for in-store communication.
For the coffee campaign in 2018, we then designed the "Coffee Lottery Cup", which was used from then on as the most important medium for brand communication. On the cup, all the most important lottery prizes were listed and with its trendy design, the cup stood out clearly from the deli2go cups commonly used.


In August Brooke was able to be baptized. It was such a special fun time. We had quite a few family members come to support her. It is always so nice to have family celebrate our milestones. Brooke was really excited to be baptized and become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We were very proud of her. She has become such a special girl. Brooke is so passionate about everything she does. She is a good helper, and can be so kind to her parents and siblings. Brooke loves to have fun. One of my favorite sounds is her giggle. It so full of joy you cant help but smile. Brooke is so smart! She is a really good kid, and we are glad she is a part of our family.
This is the picture that we sent out to our family and friends to announce Brookes baptism.
My Mom makes each of the kids a quilt when they turn 8. Isn't Brookes beautiful! I love it.
Dressed and ready for her baptism.
Grandma and Grandpa with Brooke. We are so glad they were able to come.
Brooke wanted to have ice cream with lots of toppings for everyone to enjoy after the baptism and confirmation. It was a big hit!
We sure are proud of you Brooke!

Jeff Mincham Object: stories of design and craft
Jeff Mincham AM is one of Australia's most prominent ceramic artists. Hear what it was like to witness the birth of the Australian Crafts Movement, how Jeff deals with success and failure, and his characteristically blunt advice to makers.
Jeff is known for his large, coil built, earthenware vessels. On these vessels are his dramatic, painterly interpretations of the South Australian landscape - the patchwork fields of the Fleurieu Peninsula, the sand dune grasses of the Coorong and the leafy surrounds of the Adelaide Hills.
With over forty years of professional practice, he was awarded an Order of Australia for his services to the visual arts. Jeff's work is held in over one hundred permanent public collections including the National Gallery of Australia.
As a master of Australian craft, Jeff was made a Living Treasure by Australian Design Centre in 2009, and his exhibition toured around Australia from 2009 to 2012. Jeff lives and works on the ancestral lands of the Peramangk and Kaurna people, in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia.

Show highlights and takeawaysNo tractor for me. [4:50 mins]Jeff comes from five generations of farming in South Australia. He was the first to break the tradition.
Agriculture. I understood it. [7:50 mins]While Jeff never followed in his family's footsteps, he sees his connection to agriculture as ongoing. After initially studying painting, he discovered ceramics and was overwhelmed. "It was blood and guts and real."
Craft would be your profession. [8:20 mins]The Australian Crafts Movement was underway when Jeff studied art and teaching. He describes how there was 'no horizon' and the accepted idea was that craft could be your profession.
Artists don't retire. [10:18 mins]People have often said to Jeff, "Jeff, are you retired?" And his answer to that is, artists don't retire. They just die.
People keep changing their mind. [12: 27 mins]Jeff is firm about following your own core beliefs and path. He says that if you rely on people telling you what you should be doing, you're not going to last long because people keep changing their mind.
When you get lost, basic skills are your compass. [15:17 mins]To recover from setbacks, Jeff returns to the basics. For him, it's making Japanese tea bowls. "This is why that good, strong core of basic skills are important when you do get lost. They'll rescue you. They're the compass you can pick up and find your way again.
Dammit, we're fashionable again. Never be fashionable. [17:37 mins]Jeff has ridden the wave of ceramics being popular, and then for other mediums (hello, glass!) to take the limelight. Many ceramic artists gave up and only ''a core group of us remained.' Sceptical of the current trendiness of ceramics, Jeff says, ''After the last time, I'm very cautious.'
You contribute to your profession. [20:20 mins]"The growth and success of your profession and the success of others makes the field grow, and expands the opportunities for everybody." This ethos saw Jeff take on management roles in many Australian arts organisations like the https://www.jamfactory.com.au/ (JamFactory ceramics workshop) and the https://www.helpmannacademy.com.au/ (Helpmann Academy Foundation).
We need powerful advocacy for the arts in Australia. [21:33 mins]Jeff argues that the arts in Australia are suffering from a lack of strong, powerful advocacy. "We're not playing the politics of the game strongly or determined early enough."
Art is humankind's big idea. [22:40 mins]For Jeff, arts policy goes deeper, stressing the need to "put

"Swing first and ask questions later!" is Rob's description of this reunion with longtime rhythm mates Rufus Reid and Akira Tana. After having played a weeklong club engagement in New York City, the trio captured the "spirit of the gig" in the studio, romping through first-takes of many jazz classics: Bud Powell's "Keepin' in the Groove", 'Cleanhead' Vinson's "Four", Tadd Dameron's "On a Misty Night", Clifford Brown's "Daahoud", Wayne Shorter's "This is for Albert", "Caravan", "Dizzy's Bebop", and Eddie Harris' "Deaccelaration", plus "Tugboat", Rob's variation on "I Got Rhythm".

Brussels Armenian protest
InternationalVideosArmenian-Azerbajani diaspora clashes
Clashes between Armenians Protesting Azerbaijani Attacks on Tavush and Azerbaijanis Took Place in Moldova, Belgium, Russia: Video Report
Haykaram Nahapetyan
WATERTOWN – Clashes between Armenians and Azerbaijanis continued to take place in various parts of Europe in the aftermath of the Azerbaijani attacks on the Tavush region of Armenia in mid-July. On July 22, Armenians in Belgium, led by the Committee for the Defense of the Armenian Cause (the equivalent of the Armenian National Committee in Belgium), protested in front of the Azerbaijani embassy in Brussels to condemn the attacks. The Armenian protesters condemned not only Azerbaijan but also the "Turkish government's shameful support for the Azerbaijan offensive." "No military involvement of Turkey in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict can be tolerated," said the statement of the Armenian National Committee of Belgium.
On the same day, clashes between Armenians and Azerbaijanis took place in the Moldovan capital of Chisinau. The Congress of Azerbaijanis in Moldova attempted to hold a protest in front of Armenia's Embassy in Chisinau. Armenians of Moldova arranged a counter-protest and stood in front at the entrance to the diplomatic mission. High tension led to scuffles. Law enforcement officers had to interfere after which the Azerbaijanis left the site.

HOLUB ET AL.
ROBESON ET AL.
Interference No. 101,485
*1 Dated: July 20, 1988
DECISION ON PETITION
� Robeson et al. have filed a petition, stated to be under 37 CFR 1.644(a)(3), [FN1] requesting that the Commissioner:
��� [1] ... exercise his supervisory authority so that the issue of suppression, concealment and/or abandonment be decided by the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences or remanded to the Examiner-in-Chief for further proceedings to reach a decision.
��� [or 2] ... invoke the provisions of 37 CFR 1.183, and suspend or waive the appropriate rules so that the issue of suppression, concealment and/or abandonment may be decided.
The petition is opposed.
� On May 23, 1986, Robeson et al. filed a motion for judgment under 37 CFR 1.633 (Paper No. 10) on the ground, inter alia, that Holub concealed and/or suppressed the invention in contravention of 35 U.S.C. 102(g). In his decision of October 20, 1986 (Paper No. 27), the Examiner-in-Chief dismissed the motion as to this ground because:
��� The issue of suppression and concealment cannot arise until such time as a party has established a reduction to practice. The issue is one of priority, not patentability within the meaning of �� 1.633(a). See Panduit Corp. v. Dennison Mfg. Co., 774 F.2d 1082, 277 USPQ 337, 350 (Fed.Cir.1985) and Piher S.A. v. CTS Corp., 210 USPQ 806 (N.D.Ind.1981).
� The time for Holub to complete testimony expired on January 16, 1987. Holub submitted testimony in the form of affidavits; Robeson et al. did not cross- examine, but filed an affidavit in rebuttal.
� In part IVB of their brief (filed August 10, 1987), Robeson et al. argued that Holub had concealed and/or suppressed the invention. A motion by Holub to strike the part of the Robeson et al. brief directed to the issue of concealment or suppression was dismissed by the Examiner-in-Chief on October 30, 1987 (Paper No. 58), but it was indicated in the decision that Robeson et al. were not entitled to be heard at final hearing on the issue for failure to comply with the notice requirement of 37 CFR 1.632. [FN2] In its decision after final hearing (Paper No. 61, March 10, 1988), the Board reviewed the decision in Paper No. 58 and confirmed that the issue would not be considered, holding that the dismissed preliminary motion filed by Robeson et al. (Paper No. 10, supra) would not suffice in lieu of properly filed notice under �� 1.632.
� Considering first the request to exercise supervisory authority, it is noted initially that the junior parties contend that the question of compliance with �� 1.632 is "a matter for appeal and not petitionable subject matter" (opposition, p. 5). However, since the question is one of procedure, and, in the words of �� 1.644(a)(2), "does not relate to (i) the merits of priority of invention or patentability or (ii) the admissibility of evidence under the Federal Rules of Evidence," it may be considered in the context of a petition under �� 1.644(a)(2) to invoke the supervisory authority of the Commissioner. Cf. Omori v. Ohsemachi, 230 USPQ 633 (Comr.1986). Such authority will not normally be exercised absent an abuse of discretion by the Board. See Woods v. Tsuchiya, 207 USPQ 228 (Comr.1979).
� *2 Robeson et al. assert that the issue of suppression and concealment did not arise until March 10, 1988, the date on which the Board issued its final decision finding that the junior parties actually reduced the respective inventions to practice. They apparently believe, therefore, that the notice required by �� 1.632 need not have been given earlier.
� This position is untenable. Section 1.632 provides (see note 2, supra) that a party who intends to argue the issue of suppression or concealment must file a notice, and �� 1.654(c) provides that a party shall not be entitled to argue the issue unless a notice under �� 1.632 was timely filed. Having devoted a large portion of their brief to the issue, Robeson et al. clearly intended to argue it, and thus fell squarely within the requirements of �� 1.632.
� In the notice adopting the new interference rules (37 CFR 1.601 to� 1.688), 49 Fed.Reg. 48416, 48423 (Dec. 12, 1984), 1050 Official Gazette 385, 392 (Jan. 29, 1985), the following appears with regard to �� 1.632:
��� Under current practice where notice is not required, it is possible that a party may learn for the first time that abandonment, suppression, or concealment is an issue when the party receives an opponent's brief at final hearing. See Klug v. Wood, 212 USPQ 767, 771 n. 2 (Bd.Pat.Int.1981). At that point, it is often too late to reopen proceedings in the interference. The purpose of requiring the notice under �� 1.632 is to make the parties and the Board aware during the interlocutory stage of an interference that abandonment, suppression, or concealment may be an issue in the interference. Early notice will permit the parties to ask for and the examiner-in-chief to set appropriate testimony periods for a party to present evidence related to abandonment, suppression, and concealment, particularly in those cases where long unexplained delays tend to prove the allegation of suppression concealment. Early notice will also eliminate the need for the party moving to reopen the testimony period. Klug v. Wood, supra.
To hold that notice is not required until the Board has made a final determination of actual reduction to practice would not only be contrary to the provisions of the rule itself, but also contrary to its purpose, as expressed in the foregoing quotation.
� Petitioners further assert that supervisory authority should be exercised because the Board indicated in footnote 6 of its final decision (Paper No. 61) that it had, for completeness, reviewed the suppression or concealment issue. It appears however that petitioners have misread the footnote, since the "matter" referred to therein as being reviewed by the Board was not the issue of suppression and concealment per se, but rather the Examiner-in-Chief's decision (Paper No. 58) holding that Robeson et al. were not entitled to raise the issue at final hearing.
� *3 No basis is found for the exercise of supervisory authority.
� Turning to petitioner's request that the "appropriate rules," presumably� 37 CFR 1.632 and 1.654(c), be suspended or waived under �� 1.183, the junior parties assert that the petition is improper and untimely because it did not comply with the third sentence of �� 1.644(b), which reads:
��� Any petition under paragraph (a)(3) of this section shall be timely if it is made as part of, or simultaneously, with, a proper motion under �� 1.633, �� 1.634, or �� 1.635.
� The junior parties' position is not well taken, because �� 1.644(b) does not provide that a petition under �� 1.644(a)(3) which is not accompanied by a motion will necessarily be dismissed as untimely. In the present case, the filing of a motion with the petition would not have been appropriate, since the petition does not seek a waiver with respect to a matter which is now being raised for the first time by way of a motion. The petition is therefore considered timely.
� Rule 1.183 provides that for the suspension or waiver of a rule there must be an extraordinary situation, and the interest of justice must require the relief requested. Chauvette v. Scartazzini, 206 USPQ 764 (Comr.1979). Petitioners assert that these criteria are met in this case because the junior parties' record and the case law "clearly establishes that [the junior parties] abandoned, suppressed and/or concealed the invention" (petition, p. 3), that the record "certainly makes the validity of any patents granted on the [junior parties'] applications of questionable validity" (id., p. 5), and the provisions of �� 1.632 are vague.
� Upon review of the record in the present proceeding, it does not appear that the situation is extraordinary, or that the interest of justice requires the suspension or waiver of 37 CFR 1.632 and/or 1.654(c). Insofar as petitioners' assertions concerning what the record shows are concerned, the junior parties note in their opposition to the petition that:
��� Because of Robeson's failure to provide notice of his intention to rely on a suppression/concealment theory, as required by 37 C.F.R. �� 1.632, Junior Parties had no opportunity to present rebuttal evidence or argumentation on that issue. Therefore the Board did not have before it a sufficient record to decide the suppression/concealment issue.
As discussed above, the purpose of �� 1.632 was to give a party an opportunity to present evidence to rebut an inference of abandonment, suppression or concealment. The purpose of the rule would be subverted if a party who did not comply with the rule could obtain waiver of the rule on the ground that the interest of justice required the waiver because the record did not contain any such rebuttal evidence.
� It is not considered that the provisions of �� 1.632 are vague. However, if Robeson et al. were uncertain about what notice was required by the rule, it would seem that as a matter of ordinary prudence they would have served a notice on the junior parties within ten days of the close of the latters' testimony-in-chief, rather than relying on the dismissed motion for judgment as constituting sufficient notice.
� *4 The request for waiver or suspension of any rules is denied. The petition is denied.
FN1. Section 1.644(a)(3) relates only to petitions seeking relief under �� 1.183. The current petition also appears to have been brought under �� 1.644(a)(2). The $140.00 fee set by 37 CFR 1.17(h) has been charged to the deposit account specified in the petition.
FN2. Section 1.632 Notice of intent to argue abandonment, suppression or concealment by opponent.
��� A notice shall be filed by a party who intends to argue that an opponent has abandoned, suppressed or concealed an actual reduction to practice (35 U.S.C. 102(g)). A party will not be permitted to argue abandonment, suppression, or concealment by an opponent unless the notice is timely filed. Unless authorized otherwise by an examiner-in-chief, a notice is timely when filed within ten (10) days of the close of the testimony-in-chief of the opponent.


During your first year teaching you want everything to be perfect and cute and fun and shiny and wonderful. I totally remember being there and buying gobs of stuff that never got used.
I've been thinking about what cheap materials you actually need, and have come up with a short list.
It may seem shorter than you thought, but I have come around to the minimalist teaching method. Less really is more. You don't need a lot of stuff to teach. Stuff makes you happy, but it doesn't make you a better teacher.
I put this first for a reason. No matter what other "stuff" you buy, you can always teach great lessons if you have books. I get mine from the public library. Once a month they sell off the old, ripped, out of circulation books. They are hard cover and wonderful. Sometimes if I wink at the little old man working the counter I can get a whole box of cheap materials for $20. So, ask around, talk to the librarian, find books.
Copy paper, computer paper, any paper. You will be amazed at the amount of paper you go through. I don't "do" worksheets, but we make books. Making books takes paper. Ask businesses to save their "mistake copies" for you. Many times it is on cool paper that the kids can use the other side of. Ask copy shops about paper. You need paper.
This seems obvious, but if each student uses one pencil a week and you have 20 kids you will need over 600 pencils for a year.
Just get some. Kids love them.
I buy mine on sale and write my name on them. They are my scissors, so I know I have them from year to year. They are kept in a bin so they don't get lost in desks.
Some teachers like white glue, some like glue sticks, but whatever you like find it on sale and buy as much as you can. Even if you aren't into crafts and projects – it gets used.
Whether it's shelves, bins, buckets or boxes all classrooms need storage. Once you've seen your room you'll have a better idea on what to get. Whenever I find a bin I like, I buy 10. That way I know they will stack.
I thought, and thought, and thought about it.
You could teach a whole year with just these cheap materials. It won't be the most amazing set up, but it would work.
I know you're thinking, "No way!" But I speak from experience.
One year I taught for 14 weeks without any teaching materials except for what's listed above.
I didn't even have desks, tables or chairs. We sat on the floor. It can be done.
And sometimes, the less you start with the more you can create together.
If after you've bought the short list and have a few bucks left, here are some cheap materials that you might like. These are a little icing on the cake.
I found these cute plastic lunch trays at Big Lots, but I hear they are everywhere. They are perfect for segmenting and blending words. I used a cut up index card, but magnets, letter beads, play dough or letter pasta would work great too.
Dry erase marker also wipes off of the tray nicely, you just have to do if quick so it does not dry on it for days and days.I bought enough to do this as a warm up during guided reading.
I think they were $0.80 each.
I found a package of 100 sheets of color copy paper for $1. I knew I could do something with it… but what? Then I remembered that I had some lined writing paper from last year in a box. Viola! Folded in half with a bright cover, it makes an eye catching fun book!
The coupon sorters were in the Target $1 section. I wasn't sure what to do with these either, but they were too fun to pass up. I was thinking about using them for my Daily Math Journals and having the kids do it on a ½ sheet of paper and slide them in. So, these will be a type of portfolio.
At Dollar Tree they had a whole section of phones.
I bought 3 and plan on putting them in the books and baskets center. The kids can read to their friends on the phone.
The only thing I had to do was cut the cords. They were around 10 feet long and thought they would just be a mess, so I trimmed them down to a manageable foot.
I had heard of writing words on these games, but didn't think it would be fun until one night my friends and I wrote little goofy "Truth or Dare" things on my board at home.
There's something truly enjoyable about building and reading and laughing with friends.
So, I found these cheap materials at Big Lots and started writing sight words on them.
I'm looking forward to this fun game!
Have questions? Contact me about cheap materials in your classroom.

Judy Shelton Restoring Order to the Global Currency System
President Donald J. Trump Announced Intent to Nominate Individuals to Key Administration Posts,

Judy Shelton interview on gold standard:
"I like the idea of a gold backed currency, it could even be done in a Cryptocurrency sort of way.
A unified money system, so when you talk about the international marketplace, everyone is playing on a level monetary playing field.
I don't see it so much as returning [to the gold standard], more like 'back to the future.' I think that what a gold standard stands for is monetary discipline for its own sake. Money is supposed to be a unit of account, a reliable measure and a dependable store of value. It really shouldn't be subject to who's the chairman of the Federal Reserve.
How can a dozen [...] people meeting eight times a year, decide what the cost of capital should be versus some kind of organically, market supply determined rate? The Fed is not omniscient. They don't know what the right rate should be. How could anyone? [...] If the success of capitalism depends on someone being smart enough to know what the rate should be on everything we're doomed. We might as well resurrect Gosplan.
A linked system could allow currency convertibility by individuals (as under a gold standard) or foreign central banks (as under Bretton Woods). Either way, it could redress inflationary pressures.

The top two teams from the regular year will meet to decide the Kingston Area Secondary Schools Athletic Association field hockey championship. They just don't know when.
Under normal circumstances the Regiopolis Notre Dame Panthers and Holy Cross Crusaders, who both won their respective semifinal games Monday, would play Wednesday afternoon at Caraco Field. A severe storm is forecast for that day, however, and KASSAA is pondering whether to delay the game until Thursday.
Whenever it is played, the game will feature undefeated Regi and Holy Cross, which suffered its only defeat, a 1-0 decision, to Regi on the final day of the regular season.
The Panthers didn't get there easily, though, as they faced a determined group of Napanee Golden Hawks and needed overtime finally to prevail. In a game at Brother O'Gara Field, a goal by Jen Cowan, after a shot by Lilly Dixon on a short corner penalty play 15 minutes into overtime, gave Regi a 1-0 win.
The loss ended what was developing into a storybook season for a Napanee team that went into the game on a six-game undefeated streak, after starting the year 1-3.
At Daniel Field at Holy Cross, the Crusaders needed not just overtime, but penalty strokes to defeat the Kingston Blues. The teams went through regulation time and overtime in a 1-1 deadlock, before the Crusaders outscored the visitors 3-1 in the tie-breaker.


It's that time of year again (see previous post). The short list for this year's oddest book titles.
I REALLY like that map projection, with Australia off to the far side along with Antartica, and the rest of the world together on the other side. Kinda familiar, and not just in the world of "chilled single-serving desserts and fromage frais", don't you think…?


U.S. aid to Israel should be given the same scrutiny as aid to Egypt.
The Post editorial board is absolutely right that the Obama administration should consider the $1 billion a year in U.S. aid to Egypt in the context of Egypt's domestic repression and the role of its military, and that Congress should "link military funds to human rights, as it has for several democracies that are U.S. allies" ["Mr. Mubarak vs. Mr. Obama," editorial, Nov. 27]. And yes, President Obama should "make it clear that he will not be dismissed or pushed around" by regional leaders.
Shall I assume The Post's next lead editorial will say the same thing about the $3 billion in military aid (and potentially $3 billion more in "incentives") that the Obama administration will give to Israel this year?
The writer is director of the New Internationalism Project at the Institute for Policy Studies.

Paul Gard
paulg@mountofolives.net
Paul has been the Lead Pastor at Mount of Olives Baptist Church since Feb 2018. He and his family came from southern New Hampshire where he was the pastor of Monadnock Congregational Church of the CCCC.
Paul grew up in eastern Wisconsin on a dairy farm with 7 brothers and sisters and was raised in the Roman Catholic Church. His family was very consistent in their attendance and observance of the Roman Catholic Church. Yet, God had another plan as Paul was exposed to the Gospel in his high school years by friends who sought to be faithful to the Lord's call to evangelism. God was working in Paul's heart while he wrestled with the new ideas of grace alone through faith alone for salvation. It was in his early 20s that Paul then came to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
Paul received a BA in History from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay in 2006. He then attended the University of Massachusetts-Amherst for a MA in History from 2006-2008. It is there where Paul fell in love with the English Puritans and has been reading them ever since. This led Paul away from the pursuit of a PhD in History to God's will for him to pursue the pastorate. Thus, in from 2009-2013 Paul attended Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary where he attained an MDiv degree.
Paul has a passion for many things, foremost being his family. He has been married to Deb since 1994 and they have 3 children; Abbey ('95), Elijah ('98), and Isaiah ('02). He is steeped in Reformation theology and enjoys virtually any type of theology. He loves board games (especially Scythe) and nature hikes with his family. He also enjoys sci-fi and fantasy literature (especially Tolkien) as well as movies.
Finally, Paul loves to preach expositionally and teaching any opportunity he can get. He desires for MOBC to flourish for the glory of God that all may know the Lord.
Troy Turner
Associate Pastor
troyt@mountofolives.net
Troy has served as the Associate Pastor of Mount of Olives since August of 2014. He and his wife Alyssa moved to Duluth from Louisville, KY in 2013.
Troy finished his B.A. in biological sciences at Lee University, in Cleveland TN, where he and Alyssa met and eventually married. They then spent four years in Johnson City, TN where Alyssa attended medical school. After graduating, they relocated to Louisville KY to continue their education. It was there that Troy attended Southern Seminary and received his M.Div.
Shortly after moving to Duluth and accepting the position of Associate Pastor at Mount of Olives Baptist Church, Troy and Alyssa adopted two young girls, Jameicia (CJ) and Shaniya. Learning the art of parenting has been a challenge for both of them but they are deeply grateful for the gift of adoption and the spiritual truths it teaches. They love their girls, their church, their new home town.

Member Spotlight: Treating the Entire Patient
Member Spotlight: Dr. Luisa Thompson
Luisa Thompson, OD
One advantage of a private optometry practice is being able to develop close relationships with patients. These relationships lead not only to better vision and eye health for patients, but for Dr. Luisa Thompson at Advanced Eye Care in San Antonio, Texas, it can lead to life-changing outcomes for diseases like diabetes.
Dr. Thompson has a personal stake in helping patients who have diabetes manage their condition and develop healthier habits.
"It started with watching my father who, ironically, was an optometrist, go blind from diabetes," she said. "I wondered, what can I do to prevent this? Am I going to end up this way?"
"I learned that diabetes is a lifestyle disease and that genetics only predisposes you. Only 5% of it is genetics – the other causes are lifestyle-related," she explained.
To prevent becoming diabetic, Dr. Thompson started educating herself, going as far as to enroll in insulin resistance and nutritional endocrinology practitioner training courses, while studying on weekends.
"The more I learned, the more I realized a lot of my patients were diabetic and did not know how to help themselves," Dr. Thompson said.
Initially, she tried counseling diabetic patients herself, but "this was really causing havoc because I was always running late spending so much time with patients," Dr. Thompson explained. "I had the idea, what if I hired one of my classmates?"
And that's what she did, in what has become a win-win for her patients and her practice. "Now, when I see a patient during my exam who I feel needs some help, I talk to them about it, then ask if they're interested in seeing my wellness coach, right there in the office," she said.
At the first meeting, the coach asks the patient a series of questions during a no-charge session that can take up to 2 hours. If they both decide to move forward with the coaching, the patient enrolls in a 12-week coaching program. The entire program is kept affordable, including lab tests for patients not covered by insurance.
An Effective Program With Tangible Results
While the service is still in its early stages, six patients now are meeting with the wellness coach weekly, with some choosing to re-enroll in the program to continue their coaching sessions.
"The purpose is to empower patients to help themselves," Dr. Thompson said.
"I had a patient who was constantly having eye issues – irritation, inflammation, and a lot of tearing and dry eyes. We ran a test and found that she had leaky gut and was very allergic to gluten. Since the patient started working with the wellness coach, she has changed her diet and her condition has improved 'tremendously,'" Dr. Thompson said.
Susan Skinner-Larsen, Wellness Coach
"Our coach is more like a functional medicine wellness coach, in that she looks at the body as a whole," she explained. "We are looking to expand the program to especially treat gut and autoimmune issues, because it seems like those lead to problems with the eyes."
"Treating lifestyle diseases like diabetes is so perfect for optometrists because we spend more time with the patient than primary care physicians are able to," Dr. Thompson said. "And if we are doing a comprehensive eye exam, we're also addressing their medications and all their symptoms and issues."
Specializing in diabetic and autoimmune disorder patients is not the first time Dr. Thompson has forged a new path in her field — when she first started her career, she was the first female optometrist to serve in the U.S. Army, and then soon after started the first female-owned optometry practice in San Antonio.
"The coaching program has been much better than we ever expected," Dr. Thompson explained. "It all comes down to the patient getting healthier, which leads to a happier patient and better eyesight."
