Alison Brackenbury
Categories: 20th Century, 21st Century, Bestsellers, British, War writings, Women
(Pub. Mar 2016)
Digital access available through Exact Editions
Skies is Alison Brackenbury's ninth Carcanet collection. In these poems, Brackenbury sustains delicate proximities between war and love, joy and sadness, summer and winter. Starting out as the first trees 'chatter into leaf', the poems cross through July's 'dripping amber' to January's 'false thaw'. The seasonal shift is reflected in the poet's larder, its variegating hues and tastes: honeycomb, parsnips, apples, broad beans, sprouts, jams and spices summon an air of harvest. But it is also the seasons of life that concern Brackenbury here: the poet's irrecoverable past, her youth 'which I can never visit, like a star', is at the same time the thing that never stops revisiting: in an unexpected letter from an old lover, in a half-remembered playground song. The poems in Skies are attuned to this musicality, to time's echoes and refrains, the old errors that still 'flower and flower'. Finally, it is the poet's quiet conviction to savour life, to take seriously its succulent variety, that defines this collection: the poems attest to the special privileges of age: wisdom, self-sufficiency, a deepening patience with the world; the ability to be, as the poet says of an apple, 'self-sweet'. The communal warmth of the kitchen finds its double in the exquisite loneliness of rising early, of hearing the barking of town foxes at dawn, or in the contemplation of a garden in autumn, its rows of hips swelled by rain, a rose 'whose name I think means happiness'.
Alison Brackenbury was born in Lincolnshire in 1953.�She is descended from generations of skilled farm workers, including a dynasty of prize-winning shepherds. She won a scholarship to Oxford and left with a First in English. She then married and moved to a small town�in Gloucestershire, where she combined writing with horse-keeping, ... read more
'Brackenbury is a poet of strong feeling, deeply involved with her subject matter. That the work is cast with such craft and needs to do so little to draw attention to itself makes it all the more pleasurable.'
Jonathan Davidson, Poetry Review 'Alison Brackenbury's ninth collection of poems is a humble, often humorous, celebration of the everyday and the privileges of age.' - Harriet Barker, TLS 'It is her immediate response to the natural world happenings, the seasons, family and memories, and all life's incidentals that make her poems so easy to relate to.' - D. A. Prince, The North 'Alison Brackenbury loves, lives, hymns and rhymes the natural world and its people like no other poet.'
Gillian Clarke, National Poet of Wales Praise for Alison Brackenbury 'Brackenbury's range as a poet continues to grow, just as her stanza forms become simpler and more pared-down. A growing engagement with inherited English culture allows her to question unspoken and given assumptions.'
M.C. Caseley, Agenda
'Brackenbury conjures a poetry that brings those frightening things into plain daylight, a poetry of the active life, of thrift and graft, of spirits that when pressed resort to sanity.'
John Bevis
'Brackenbury makes rhyming seem easy in work that is clever, controlled, eccentric and thoroughly British in both subject matter and tone.'
David Starkey, Santa Barbara Independent
'Filigreed with images of light and dark throughout, it's evocative, amusing and utterly compelling.'
Frances Lass, Radio Times 'Glorious'
Gillian Reynolds, Daily Telegraph 'Enchants'

This is the entrance to the Halton regional forest complex, they have a small gravel parking lot just off the road and a map of the trail system.
Day 1 - Time to get to work, supplies are arriving so it's time to start laying out the stringers. Materials used for this board walk are rough sawn Tamarack. The stringers are a true 2'' x 10'' 10 feet long, deck boards are a full 2'' thick x 6'' wide 5' long. Everything will be anchored through 4'' x 4'' posts that will rest in concrete deck blocks.
In the distance you can see we've laid out all the parts roughly where the board walk will be.
The boardwalk is 300' long comprised of 30 sections 10' long. The stringers are 2'' x 10'' x 10' long, each section overlaps and will be held together with 2 lag bolts that go through 2 joists and a 4''x4'' post that will rest on concrete deck blocks.
The boardwalk had to remain under 24'' tall, the top boards are 2'' think so we initially setup the sections with legs that held the sections at about 20'' from the ground and proceeded to level from there.
Here you see the lag bolt that goes through the stringers, it's so long because it will go through a 4'' x 4'' post.
Now we have installed the 4'' x 4'' posts into the decking blocks and tightened down the lag bolts, in the distance Kevin is cutting some pieces to size.
In this picture it shows the main trail, in the spring time the water levels are very high and not possible to pass, with this boardwalk in place, no matter how wet it gets you'll still be able to enjoy a beautiful spring day.
This is a ramp at one end of the boardwalk, the pipe is there to help the blind to follow the boardwalk along.
Finished at last, this was a fun project to build. Its great to know that this boardwalk will not only be around for many many years to come but will be enjoyed by so many people.

Cloud computing continues to drive business transformations across the Distribution industry. And that is not marketing hype. Look at the latest industry news, you'll find multiple stories on how the "Cloud" is changing Distribution. Some of the times for the positive and other times for the negative. If you haven't felt the impact of the Cloud within your business you will, either in how you run it or how your competition is using it. One of the hot areas in Cloud-based business software right now is business intelligence (BI) software. What use to be available to only large corporations has become accessible for small to mid-sized businesses.
For many years now I have been following what is happening with reporting, data analytics and business intelligence software. It is an exciting area of software but with its own frustrations for the small to mid-sized business owner. In this blog post I want to look at some of the opportunities that exist and some of the challenges with today's modern BI software.
A majority of the BI software providers now offer a free or trial version of their software, which may have limited features available. This is a great way to try it before you buy it. The installation is typically care-free and you don't need the help of IT to do it. The downside is getting it connected to data. Finding the integration starting point and then connecting to a data source typically does require the help of someone with technical and network knowledge of your system. So you still need technical assistance to implement and use these modern BI tools.
The user experience of today's BI tools is very similar to what we have come to expect from the software we use on our smartphones and tablets. The user interfaces of these tools are clean, logical and help you find the function you are looking for. And if you can't find what you are looking for then a global search feature is usually accessible within the tool to help you find it. A challenge can be creating the exact, distribution focused report you need. It's one thing to have an intuitive application and quite another to have to create a report or dashboard from scratch. That takes time and intimate knowledge of your data both of which are probably in short supply for you and team.
Once you become familiar with the tool and show a few other people around your office how to use it you'll find that others are also creating their own reports, charts, KPI's and dashboards. This means people are not relying on an IT or a Business Analyst to create reports. Issues start when everyone has their own version of the truth. You may have replaced many of your Excel spreadsheets for much prettier charts and dashboards but you didn't reduce the confusion and volume of documents being created.
Finding a reliable, easy to use business intelligence tool has its challenges. Epicor Data Analytics (EDA) addresses many of the challenges I've seen with the new BI tools of today. EDA is tailored specifically to the Prophet 21 database. Epicor has figured out all the complex logic to transform your data and present it in a format that makes sense to a business user plus allow you the flexibility to integrate data from other databases, like HR, Payroll or industry specific sources.
EDA has six built-in data modules so you are not creating the distribution specific reports and dashboard you need from scratch. Each report can be modified to your specific needs. There are modules for Sales, Inventory, Purchasing, General Ledger, Accounts Payable, and Accounts Receivable. And since Epicor's experienced Distribution team built these modules, it means the information is right, reliable and ready to go in days not months. Epicor's decades of experience working with distributors, understanding your business, along with research in industry standard Key Performance Indicators, means we built a business intelligence solution which is a fantastic starting place for your business. And all of the information within EDA pulls from one source of data so everyone is singing from the same page.
Since Epicor Data Analytics is a subscription based service you have a low cost of entry which allows you to try the application before making a big commitment across your business. This reduces your risk but provides a scalable application to grow with your business.

Structure of CAREC Institute
CTTN
ADB-CAREC Institute Visiting Fellow Program
Asian Development Bank (ADB) and CAREC Institute (CI) based in Urumqi, Xinjiang Autonomous Region are pleased to announce a new Visiting Fellow Program and invite applications for fellowships from researchers who are citizens of ADB members.
Strong preference will be given to policy proposals that address cross-border issues in the CAREC countries (where at least two, preferably three or more, countries are taken as a unit of analysis) that are considered of strategic importance to the region and solve important policy challenges. Topics should be drawn from five operational clusters contained in the CAREC 2030 Strategy. In brief, these are:
1.	Economic and Financial Stability
2.	Trade, Tourism and Economic Corridors
3.	Infrastructure and Economic Connectivity
4.	Agriculture and Water
5.	Human Development
Further, rather than remaining within the confines of the proposed clusters as indicated in the CAREC 2030 Strategy, visiting fellows are encouraged to combine topics and themes across clusters, and engage with topics and themes beyond the scope of the current strategy and push the boundaries of thinking about regional integration. Especially for visiting senior research fellows, there is a preference for proposals that engage with wider issues that have an impact on the region and address these issues within a multidisciplinary framework. A comparative inter-regional analytical approach that draws on similar experiences within the Asia-wide region is especially welcome.
Fellowship Term
The duration of the fellowship is for a period of three (3) months. In exceptional cases, the term may be extended in consultation with the CAREC Institute.
For the period of the fellowship, the visiting fellow is required to write a Working Paper on a topic on regional integration. The CAREC Institute will post all Working Papers on its website. Before the end of their term at the Institute, fellows will be required to present their paper in a public event organized by the CAREC Institute.
The fellowship is open to researchers affiliated with universities, research institutes, and think tanks in the world, subject to the citizenship requirement stated above. Ideally, visiting fellows should have completed their post-graduate degrees at the time of application. Recent Master's degree holders and PhDs are also encouraged to apply for fellowships that will allow them to convert their dissertations and master's thesis into a book, and/or submit specific chapters as journal articles for publication.
Fellowship Support
All fellows will receive a fixed honorarium for the duration of the fellowship. In addition to the honorarium, all fellows will receive airfare and accommodation costs for fellowship related travel, and other related costs that will enable them to meet their requirements. Special requests for specific additional research costs may be considered on case by case basis.
The application process involves specific intake dates and submission deadlines. A selection committee comprised of experts will advise on the proposals. Reviewers will consider the applicant's background, experience, track record, the paper's contribution to regional integration, and likelihood of completion of the proposed research project. Selection decisions will be made within one month of the date of submission of the application. For the first phase of the fellowship program, four (4) fellows will be selected. All proposals should be submitted online to khalidu@carecinstitute.org. Upon receipt of the application, the applicant will receive an acknowledgment and an expected date on the outcome of the application.
All applicants are required to submit the attached application form.
The applications will be received until 31 October 2019.
Close relatives1 of ADB and the CAREC Institute staff are not eligible for selection under the Visiting Fellow Program. Applicants are expected to disclose if they have any relative/s by consanguinity/blood, by adoption and/or by affinity/marriage presently employed in ADB or the Institute.
1 Close relatives refer to spouse, children, mother, father, brother and sister, niece, nephew, aunt and uncle.

RALEIGH, North Carolina – Organic sweet potatoes are in high demand in North Carolina, but growers face two major hurdles: weeds and wireworms. North Carolina State University researchers think cover crops might be a solution, and that would make third generation farmer Kelvin Bass a happy man.
"I'm tremendously concerned about soil health," said Bass, owner of Bass Plant Farm in Nashville, N.C., who grows 80-100 acres of organic sweet potatoes. "It's key to what we are trying to accomplish organically. Soil is very important."
Bass expressed frustration over having to till his sweet potato fields to manage weeds and control wireworm, a pest that likes grass roots as a host. If NCSU research of a cereal rye/vetch mix incorporated with organic sweet potatoes is successful, Bass will have a means of curtailing tillage while boosting soil organic matter, which is historically low in eastern North Carolina.
Organic sweet potatoes are the most profitable crop on Bass' farm. A group of county extension agents from across the country visited recently to learn more about the farm's diverse production of tobacco, cut flowers, U-pick strawberries, vegetables, and organic crops such as soybeans, wheat and cucumbers. The visit was part of the Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education (SARE) Fellows Tour, a program hosted by SARE and the National Association of County Agricultural Agents (NACAA) to introduce county agents to sustainable agriculture practices outside their region.
This year's tour took the group to farms and NCSU and North Carolina A&T research stations across the state's Eastern, Piedmont, and Mountain regions. NCSU SARE state coordinator Chris Reberg-Horton praised SARE for laying the foundation of sustainability in the state, which has been progressive in its sustainable practices for decades. "NCSU and NC A&T have a great history with SARE," said Horton. "SARE has been transformative when it comes to where growers are at in terms of sustainable agriculture, our training programs, statewide conferences, and other activities, such as the Fellows Tour."
For several days, tour participants got a glimpse of some of the diverse farms across the state, and what makes each so unique in the world of sustainable agriculture. Examples included:
Allied Organic Farms in Hurdle Mills, N.C.: A diverse vegetable and agritourism operation, whose owners Tom Savage and wife, Linda, pride themselves on community relationships. Their biggest event, a free-of-charge Christmas light show, draws several hundred residents. "We are not a giant moneymaker," said Savage, "but I believe it's a good way of life."
Pangaea Plants in Lake Lure, N.C.: A biodynamic farm specializing in certified organic medicinal herbs. Nestle in the mountains of western North Carolina near Asheville, owner Gabriel Noard looks upon his farm as an ecosystem with the neighbors and environment around him.
Flying Cloud Farm, Fairview, N.C.: A diverse operation of vegetables, berries and cut flowers sold via direct marketing, through a CSA, or to local markets. Managers Isaiah and Annie Louise Perkinson are tuned in to the lifestyle of their community. Their biggest money maker is a self-serve farm stand that allows passersby to pay for their items via Paypal, accessible through the farm's website.
"I thought that farm stand at Flying Cloud Farm was pretty innovative," said Jessica Kelton, a farm and agribusiness management extension agent at Auburn University. "Flying Cloud Farm was one of the best stops. They seemed to grasp every aspect of sustainability and they were meeting the social demand through their CSA."
Like the other SARE Fellows on the tour, Kelton hopes to apply what she learned on the tour in her own sustainable agriculture efforts.
"Learning to work with other Extension personnel with different specialties really helps to get a better overall picture of the sustainable agriculture efforts of a particular farm," said Kelton. "Thanks to everyone who worked to make this trip a great experience.
Other SARE Fellows who participated included: Amanda Sears, horticulture agent with University of Kentucky; Anthony Bly, soils field specialist with South Dakota State University; FNU Naveen Kumar, assistant professor of horticulture and extension specialist with University of Maryland; Claire Strader, organic vegetable educator, University of Wisconsin; Kathleen Painter, assistant professor and agriculture extension educator, University of Idaho; Kurt Jones, 4-H county director, Colorado State University; and Nicole Santangelo, agronomy extension educator, Penn State University.
The next SARE Fellows Tour will take place in Kansas next year.

White button mushrooms can be substituted for shiitake.
1. In a 1-quart saucepan bring broth to a boil over high heat. Add rice and return to a full boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 40 minutes. Turn off heat and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff rice, cover, and allow it to completely cool before refrigerating. Makes about 3 cups.
2. Combine sherry and soy sauce in a small cup. Combine salt and pepper in a small dish.
3. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12 inch skillet over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in 2 Tbsp of oil, add onion and garlic, using a metal spatula stir-fry 10 seconds or until fragrant. Add mushrooms, bell peppers, carrots and sausage, and stir-fry about 1 minute or until sausage is partially cooked. Swirl in remaining oil, add rice and celery, and stir-fry for 1 minute, breaking up rice with spatula. Swirl in sherry mixture, sprinkle with salt mixture, and stir-fry for 1 minute, until well combined. Add parsley and stir-fry for 1 minute, or until sausage is cooked through and rice is hot. Yields 1/2 cup per serving.
Advance preparation: All ingredients can be prepped while rice is cooking. The rice will keep for three or four days in the refrigerator. The dish is best when made just before serving, but you can make it a few hours ahead and reheat in a medium oven.
To make this dish even more special, use homemade chicken broth for added richness and flavor. After cooking broth, refrigerate it several hours and remove any hardened fat on surface. *Rinsing the rice is an important step. To rinse, put it in a bowl and wash in several changes of cold water. Drain rice and carefully add it to boiling broth. **You can also use chicken sausage.


Here you will find a build guide for the Pass / Firstwatt F4 power amplifier using PCBs and chassis from the DIYaudio store.
The 5U 'BIG Amp Chassis' is shown, because that's the one I have. It will fit comfortably in a 4U 'Jack of all chassis' and have enough heatsink as well.
This is the heatsink(s) from the 5U 'BIG Amp Chassis' It has a mirror-imaged set of pre-drilled heatsinks and brackets to hole them together and make a mounting point for the rest of the enclosure. The 4U is similar, but the heatsink is a single piece.
This build will also utilize the 'DIY friendly' baseplate, here shown with the feet and hardware, and also the heatsink's brackets.
There is a hardware package available for the pre-drilled back and heatsinks, including input and output jacks, IEC module, and hardware for the PCB and heatsinks.
The contents of the hardware bag.
Speaking of PCB, it's a very nice layout, plenty of room, and the ability to use many sizes of resistors and caps. This is the front.
Stuffing the PCB should be done in the usual order, from smallest device to biggest - so that would be diodes and resistors first.
Of note, I got the bigger (Dale/Vishay RN60) resistors to see how they would fit on the PCB. They are the size of the PRP resistors that are quite popular amongst the fancy parts crowd. They are great everywhere except the row flanking the small transistors right in the middle. They don't fit there side by side. You could mount them soldier style, or just mix in a few smaller resistors like I did. Or just get RN55's. They are the smaller size.
The ziptie is just to help their thermal tracking.
I find it helpful to bend the leads of the transistors first, and mount them (a little bit loose) to the heatsink.
And then mount the PCB. You can snug all the screws down and then solder and trim.
Ok, now lets move on to the Power Supply.
Here is a photo of the PSU board, I am going to use integrated bridge rectifier blocks, so you need to remove the part of the PCB that mounts the diodes. The new PCB, not quite yet available at the time of this writing, will have a similar feature with the diodes, as well as room for more/bigger capacitors.
As always, stuff the small components first - the light blue resistors are the filter resistors, the darker ones with the teflon are the bleeder resistors, and the small ones are for the LEDs.
This PSU board is the exact same DIYaudio PSU board, just without the top blue soldermask.
The black connects the PSU GND to the CL-60 to the chassis.
The wiring from the PSU to the amp PCB is clearly shown.
As long as were are tailing about the transformer, here is a photo of the terminal block shown wired for 120v. The Blur lead is the AC Live, and the clear the AC neutral. The reds and blacks are the transformer primaries.
Transformer is an Antek 400VA 18v+18v, part number AN-4218.
The last bit of the PSU wiring is the chassis connection, the black comes from the PSU GND, and the green is the AC safety earth.
Let's look at the PSU schematic just to make sure everything is OK... Remember that I am wiring it for 120v operation, so the transformer primaries are in parallel. People wiring for 240 with a transformer like this, please ignore.
Look at the connections of the transformer primary, through the thermistors and line cap, to the mains.
Hot AC is connected to the "120" (which in my case is the red leads on the primaries) One red primary is connected to AC hot through a thermistor.
Neutral AC is connected to the black "0" leads, one of which is connected to the AC through a thermistor.
AC Hot and Neutral have a cap across the leads.
So, yes, the AC will be connected to the center 2 posts, which is across the cap.
POST 1 - Transformer primary 'B 0' which will be connected to AC Neutral at post 2, through the thermistor between post 1 and 2.
If you look at the red and black wires in the photo you will see that the Mains AC must to pass through a thermistor to connect to each of the 2 primaries. And that is the point of them, to keep inrush under control during powerup.
But first a bit more mechanical assembly.
This is the pre-cut back plate and the thick front plate.
Gather and mount the IEC plug.
Note that the shoulder washer goes on the inside, so the metal of the chassis doesn't touch the metal of the jack. There is a similar washer on the speaker posts.
The inside of the back panel.
And the outside. Looks good, yes?
The IEC module is wired as shown. This will switch both the Live and Neutral. The blue (live) and clear (neutral) go the the wiring block with the thermistors, cap and transformer primaries.
The amp PCB completely wired.
This happens to be the other channel, but the connections are all the same.
I'm not entirely sure what I was trying to show here, other than the screw and washer. It looks cool. I will keep the photo in the guide.
P1 controls the bias, measured across any of the 3W source resistors. Adjust for 0.13v when it's cold, and watch that it doesn't get higher than 0.2v once it's up to temperature in about an hour. Adjust for 0.2v when hot.
P2 is used to adjust the DC offset on the output to zero.
Attach a DC voltmeter across the speaker outputs to measure offset.
If you find that the P1 doesn't have enough range, I.E., you can't turn it up enough, replace R9 with a smaller resistor, I used 4.75K and it works well.
Connect a voltmeter across any of the source resistors. The outboard ones are easier to clip across.
Adjust for about 0.13v cold, and once the amp is up to operating temperature, trim for 0.20v - It takes a long time to warm up, take your time.
I'm driving the F4 with an O2 Headphone amp sourced from an iPod; Driving 85.5db speakers. Although it is a small room, it gets louder than I want to listen. It still can't drive it to clipping, but it does get really, really loud.
One thing worth mentioning, and it speaks very highly to the quality of the amp, is that it is completely non-fatiguing, and more interestingly, very easy to listen to turned up too loud… I don't realize how loud it actually is sometimes. Complete transparency is a word used a lot when describing this amp - but I have to agree. It's fantastic!
Please comment away if you desire.
Also please feel free to ask any F4 questions here, and if you would like to post photos of your F4 completions, old or new, please do!

awesome build guide... again! many thanks for all your efforts.
Awesome build. I should give this a shot - easy to build and swap out with my F5. Preamp outs on my Yamaha receiver would probably drive but the DIY Store could use a pre-amp board with some gain.
There are. BA1/2 and BA3. Both are very capable and can easily work as a preamp.

Athena Hiotis Releases "Unbreakable: Our Story"
Colette Josef April 29, 2017 Music Video, New Media, News, Single Leave a comment
Athena Hiotis (RÊVE) has teamed up with Baltimore artist and childhood friend Nina Themelis to release their inspiring concept video. "Unbreakable:Our Story" features a diverse array of women's empowering stories, from being proud to have gained weight to addiction victories to losing a spouse and fighting to change laws to protect others set to the Athena and Ian Kaine MacGregor written track, "Unbreakable."
We had one rule for them. They had to be positive in the syntax. Words like 'can't', 'don't', 'I'm not' were not allowed. They had to write their statements in an affirming way. – Athena
The reason I was so excited to work on this project is because of how frequently our culture perpetuates the idea of women working in competition with one another. It was important to work on something with strangers, or mild acquaintances, where the unifying thread was how we empower ourselves and each other. –Nina
Visual artist and creative director, Tré made a bold appearance in the short and penned an equally bold statement, recalling her experience participating in the making of the video. "Support is always important; we can't expect others to support us if we don't make an effort to support each other. Today, women support women because now we can, and now we must." – Tré (Visual Artist and Creative Director)

It takes a special kind of grandmother to make each of her grandchildren feel like they were her favorite. And that's exactly the kind of person my Bubby was. She made each one of her seven grandchildren feel like they were the center of her world. Today, on the fourth anniversary of the day she left us, I miss Bubby more than usual. No one loved my grandmother as much as I did, but the thing is, I know I'm not alone in that sentiment; my sister and my five cousins would probably tell you the same thing about themselves. And isn't that the ultimate tribute to what a great woman she was? Each one of us wants to be the person who loved her the most. All these years later, we're still competing to show who had the closest relationship with her, and who loved her more.
I will tell you I still think of Bubby every day. I still find myself wanting to call her and tell her something exciting. To make her laugh. To make her happy. Today especially, I just want to hug her one more time and have her tell me how much she loves me. What I wouldn't give to hear her voice again.
Four years later, and I still love and miss my Bubby very much.

The good news is that Burlesque is not the big, hot mess it might appear to be from its trailer and poster. And sure, that's damning with faint praise, but c'mon … this film just looks like it's going to be awful — or at the very least, tailor-made for a certain demographic that's not the one I'm a part of. It's got Cher as the owner of a burlesque lounge in Los Angeles, and Christina Aguilera as an impressionable-but-smarter-than-she-looks, small-town girl, diamond-in-the-rough performer, whose undeniable talent saves the club when it's in financial dire straits. And as if that's not enough, Stanley Tucci plays a gay sidekick (again). But I kinda liked the film anyway.
In her film debut, Aguilera does a decent job. She's not great, and not awful. She has her moments, but really, it's all about her singing. Those pipes are hard to deny. The best parts of the movie are, no surprise, whenever she's on stage performing — probably because they're like good music videos. The soundtrack features a few songs that burrowed themselves into my brain and are still swimming around (damned ear worms). And there's eye candy for both genders — the cast also includes Julianne Hough, Kristen Bell, Eric Dane, and Cam Gigandet. Some credit does go to the film's writer/director, Steve Antin for not asking anyone to do much heavy lifting (other than the singing and dancing, of course), and generally taking his film seriously enough to deliver something that's sometimes very enjoyable to watch.
That said, part of me kind of wishes Burlesque actually was the hot mess it promised to be. That might have made it a more fun way to spend my time. Sometimes it comes close — some of the dialogue is groan-worthy, Aguilera's character inhabits so many screen cliches in the first 15 minutes, and Cher's big number late in the film is a great time to take a bathroom break. The plot itself strains credibility more often than it doesn't. And I wish there was less handheld cinematography; at times, the film was harder to watch than Cloverfield was.
But in taking itself seriously and not going over the top, Burlesque ends up being a mixed bag: It's not the kind of film that's going to win Oscars, but it's not a prime target for Razzies, either. It's odd wanting a movie to be worse than it is, but that's because Burlesque caught me a bit off-guard. I liked it enough to rate it a B–.

I'm Thankful for …
It's the day before Thanksgiving, so I'm going to continue my annual tradition of giving thanks for some of my favorite things. Here's a partial list, in no particular order: Continue reading →

It's a Russian Novel
When Love and Other Drugs first begins, you may think you're in for a very long next two hours. After all, there's Jake Gyllenhaal dancing around an electronics store to the sounds of Spin Doctors' "Two Princes." Ugh. But damn if the film doesn't eventually win you over. In the movie, Jake plays Jamie, a charming, slutty sales rep for Pfizer, who meets Maggie (Anne Hathaway) during one of his sales calls. We learn during that first meeting that Maggie has Parkinson's Disease, and despite that, even though it's completely out of character, somehow Jamie falls for Maggie. Of course, that's after the two have sex. Lots and lots of sex. Let's just say if you need a reason to see this movie, that's it, and because you see plenty of the two actors. (Not that I'm complaining; they both look great.)
But anyway … with Maggie's illness looming, you know Love is going to take a more serious turn eventually. And thankfully, the movie doesn't become a total weepie. That's partly because Anne and Jake make such a winning couple, and the script by director Edward Zwick, Marshall Herskovitz, and Charles Randolph isn't a total downer. Zwick has made a film with plenty of intimate, sexy moments, and he's drawn some good performances from his two leads. Yes, there are some missing details, and some plot points that strain credibility, but Jake and Anne's great chemistry (yes, better than they had in Brokeback Mountain) makes it easy to overlook them. Thankfully, Love is much better than its opening few minutes would lead you to believe. I'm giving it a B.
What's the Story?
Morning TV news programs get a gentle tweak in Morning Glory. In the film, Rachel McAdams plays Becky Fuller, an ambitious television producer, who's hired to breathe life into Daybreak, the fourth-place network morning show. Her solution is to hire gruff veteran newsman Mike Pomeroy (Harrison Ford), who begrudgingly takes the job of sitting alongside the show's longtime host, Colleen Peck (Diane Keaton), even though he wants nothing to do with the silly antics and lightweight stories. But when the show is threatened with cancellation, all must do whatever it takes to keep Daybreak on the air.
Morning Glory was written by Aline Brosh McKenna, who also penned the screenplay for The Devil Wears Prada, and there are plenty of similarities between the two films. For example, both feature a perky, go-getter heroine who puts work ahead of her personal life, and both feature winning performances by their lead actresses. In this case, McAdams deserves all the credit for why Morning Glory is enjoyable to watch, even when the rest of it isn't. McAdams helps the screenplay seem better than it is. She's playing such a peppy, high-spirited person — and she does it so well — that I half-expected Ford to bark at her the famous Lou Grant line, "You've got spunk!" (Instead, he tells her she's got moxie.) But it's true. After starring in Wedding Crashers, McAdams stayed away from the breezy, lightweight romantic comedies she was offered, and she held out for a decent one. I couldn't help but think that if Katherine Heigl, who starred in another McKenna film, 27 Dresses, had played Becky, this would have been a much worse film.
Which is not to say that Morning Glory is a masterpiece, or even on the same level as Prada. The first half of the film is better than the second, and other than McAdams, none of the other leads have much to work with; they can't save the one-note characters they're playing (Ford especially). And, it should be noted, it's hard to take a film too seriously when it's centered around a television network with the unfortunate name of IBS. Yes, Becky saves the show and manages not to lose her boyfriend (Patrick Wilson) in the process. But the fact that she makes Morning Glory watchable is her real triumph. I'm giving the film a B.

Step Back Into Christmas with Me
This really is the most wonderful time of the year. In fact, every year I can't wait to get past Halloween because that means one thing: It's time to start work on the year's edition of A Very Marty Xmas.
2010 will actually be the 10th anniversary edition of my annual mix. That's right, I've been making holiday mixes for 10 years (that is, if you don't count 2008, which I skipped), and many folks have told me my mixes have become an essential part of their holiday. That's pretty amusing — and impressive — considering I'm Jewish and all. Continue reading →

What would you do to save your own life?
In 2003, Aron Ralston was out climbing in Robbers Roost, Utah, when he got stuck in a canyon — his hand trapped under a boulder.
Six days later, dehydrated, hungry, and nearly out of options, he somehow found the strength to free himself by first breaking his arm and then amputating it from the elbow down.
Ralston told his story in the book Between a Rock and a Hard Place, and now it's come to the big screen in the thrilling film 127 Hours. Continue reading →

Summer is over and autumn has begun. For football fans, Sundays are sacred once again. For leaves on trees, this seasonal shift means it's time get orange and yellow and red as heck. For turkeys, fall is the time to die and fulfill a second, gravy-drenched life at the center of the table (shoutout to Thanksgiving!). But for cannabis enthusiasts, medical marijuana patients, and anyone who smokes pot from time to time, the autumnal equinox spells out fun, festive, and sometimes spooky stoned days filled with weedy goods and infused foods.
The following list of fall-esque cannabis products features KINDLAND editors' fave ways to elicit the weedy feels in October and November.
According to the Chocolatier, Défoncé's "team of veteran artisans uses sun-grown, single-origin cannabis and incomparable chocolate ingredients." Each bar contains 180 mg of THC, and each serving is 10 mg of THC. Défoncé's infused chocolates are so notable, they were at one point slated to be slung at one of San Francisco's most popular malls.
Unwind on those chilly autumn nights with this botanical coconut oil-based balm that is made using beeswax, eucalyptus, and tea tree oil among other natural ingredients. Papa & Barkley's Releaf contains more than 400 mg of cannabinoids per 15ml jar, so your skin will be just as hyped on fall as it was on summer. A winner of High Times Cannabis Cup awards, Releaf is a 1:3 THC/CBD formulation and $30 well spent.
Fall is nature's reflective period of the year and the time when you should be nourishing your mental stasis. This is what bath bombs were made for. Kush Queens of California must operate on this wavelength as KQ's bath bombs are "made with 100% Organic essential oil blends, lab tested C02 cannabis oil, and CBD isolate." The bombs––Relax, Relief, Sleep, Awaken––also deliver on their respective promises via natural ingredients such as lavender, chamomile, and coriander seed essential oils. And for an extra dose of fall, pick up their limited release Pumpkin Spice Bath Boom.
Being basic doesn't always have to be a bad thing. Enter Liquid Gold's Pumpkin Spice (infused) Chocolate Bars. The rich, sweet, smooth chocolates contain six 35mg doses of THC and all of the other magical components found in cocoa. These are actually as autumnal as it gets.

Why pursue a Ph.D. in Anthropology at Notre Dame?
The Notre Dame Anthropology graduate program is focused on helping you develop the skills necessary to undertake research related to the human condition, to learn about what it is to be human, and to convey these understandings of what it means to be human to others.
We are committed to the richness and diversity of the discipline by helping you build bridges between various humanistic and scientific approaches.
The teaching and research interests of our faculty are diverse and represent all four of anthropology's subfields. We encourage you to work with multiple faculty members with different specializations to develop integrated analyses of anthropological problems.
In our department, you will be trained to develop and conduct your own research, speak across traditional disciplinary boundaries, and publish the innovative contributions of your research. Your experience will be supplemented by the Department of Anthropology's close relationships with other departments, centers, and institutes on campus. Through these partnerships, you will have access to substantial research and teaching funding and support.
When you graduate, you will be well prepared for work in academia and in research positions in the private and non-profit sectors.
As a scholar—you will learn how to identify, research, and solve important local and international problems. You will be trained in ways that reach beyond the methods and theories of your specialty, allowing you to easily adopt and engage with interdisciplinary perspectives.
As a teacher—you will discover how to conceptualize and set up an exciting classroom and engage with students across a spectrum of learning environments. You will learn to create compelling presentations that reflect your passion for anthropology, explore the complementarity of teaching and research, and remain sensitive to critical ethical issues.
As a practitioner—you will be pushed to think outside the box whenever possible, to be open to novel, interdisciplinary, and integrative applications of your research. You will be able to maximize career opportunities and take the lead in solving problems that are on the horizon but not yet obvious.
Our graduate students are successful recipients of prestigious national and international grants and fellowships, including the National Science Foundation's Graduate Research Fellowships Program (GRFP) and Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants (DDRIG), the Wenner Gren Foundation, Fulbright Foundation, USAID, among others.
"In the U.S., anthropology typically encompasses four subfields—biological, linguistic, sociocultural, and archaeological. And often, in practice, that means you have these disciplinary silos. But the way Notre Dame integrates these fields exposes us to very different kinds of literature and ways of thinking, which can bring up surprising questions that otherwise wouldn't happen."
— Angela Lederach, Ph.D. '19, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Creighton University
The University of Notre Dame has two Ph.D. tracks in the field of anthropology. Our Ph.D. in Anthropology is the main track and covers biological anthropology, archeology, linguistic anthropology, and sociocultural anthropology. We also offer a joint Peace Studies and Anthropology Ph.D. that combines these areas with a specialization in peace and conflict studies at Notre Dame's Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies. The joint Kroc Peace Studies-Anthropology Ph.D. track requires enrollment in both programs of study and has a separate application process.
Additional information can be found on the University of Notre Dame Graduate School website or in the Anthropology Graduate Guide.

Gurner, Henry Field (1819–1883)
by Carole Woods
Henry Field Gurner (1819-1883), by Samuel Calvert, 1883
La Trobe Picture Collection, State Library of Victoria, IAN16/05/83/77
Henry Field Gurner (1819-1883), solicitor, was born on 31 March 1819 in Sydney, the second son of John Gurner and his wife Rebecca Ann, née Gallefant. He was educated at William Timothy Cape's School, became a clerk under his father in the Supreme Court in 1834, then worked for the crown solicitor, Francis Fisher, and in 1841 was admitted as an attorney, solicitor and proctor in New South Wales. On 10 February he was appointed deputy-registrar and clerk of the Supreme Court of New South Wales for the Port Phillip District and in May became the first attorney, solicitor and proctor admitted in Melbourne. He entered private practice in November but on 6 January 1842 became clerk of the peace and crown solicitor at Port Phillip and in September agreed to act until December as the first town clerk of Melbourne. Gurner was crown solicitor of Victoria from July 1851 until he retired in November 1880.
Gurner's attachment to his native land and legal work was reflected in his valuable collection of Australiana (list published in 1878) and his own publications: The Rules and Orders of the Supreme Court of New South Wales for the District of Port Phillip (1841), Practice of the Criminal Law of the Colony of Victoria (1871), and Chronicle of Port Phillip now the Colony of Victoria from 1770 to 1840 (1876). He was well known and respected in Melbourne and was a member of the Melbourne Club from 1844 and president in 1870. He lived with his family in William Street, Melbourne, until 1854 and then moved to a house in Princes Street, St Kilda, with a view overlooking Hobson's Bay. Gurner Street, St Kilda, was named in his honour. During a brief recall as crown solicitor he died at the Melbourne Club on 17 April 1883 and was buried in the St Kilda cemetery; he left an estate worth £61,000. His wife Augusta Mary, daughter of Edward Curr, was a skilled horsewoman and travelled widely before she died aged 88 in 1917. Of their eight surviving children, Henry Edward and John Augustus were barristers and the latter became crown prosecutor in Victoria.

THE GERMAN WW2 SURRENDER AGREEMENT
The most important document ever offered for sale… The German surrender agreement that ended the Second World War.
Alexander Bitar History has the enormous honor and privilege to offer the document that ended the Second World War – the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany.
Mr. Norman Polar, historian and author, explains:
"On May 6, 1945, Admiral Dönitz sent his army commander General Jodl and Admiral von Friedeburg to Eisenhower's headquarters in Northern France to negotiate the surrender of all the German forces. The German delegation arrives, expecting to be treated as professionals to meet Eisenhower, possibly have coffee, certainly handshakes – and then discuss surrender terms. They were met by Eisenhower's chief of staff, who told them politely but firmly: 'There are no terms, you will surrender unconditionally – period!'. The German delegation went back, told Dönitz, and he realized that he had no choice. He went back, and surrender documents were placed in front of them; they were told to sign. After the signing, Eisenhower did meet with them. There were no handshakes. Eisenhower asked them bluntly: 'Do you understand the terms of this surrender'. Once they said: 'Yes, we do', he turned around and left. It had been a cruel, horrible, and terrible war; and Eisenhower to his credit, in my opinion, was not about to treat them as gentlemen."
The document in full: [1] "Only this text in English is authoritative
ACT OF MILITARY SURRENDER
1. We the undersigned, acting by authority of the German High Command, hereby surrender unconditionally to the Supreme Commander, Allied Expeditionary Force and simultaneously to the Supreme High Command of the Red Army all forces on land, at sea, and in the air who are at this date under German control.
2. The German High Command will at once issue orders to all German military, naval and air authorities and to all forces under German control to cease active operations at 23.01 hours Central European time on 08 May, to remain in all positions occupied at that time and to disarm completely, handing over their weapons and equipment to the local allied commanders or officers designated by Representatives of the Allied Supreme Commands. No ship, vessel, or aircraft is to be scuttled, or any damage done to their hull, machinery or equipment, and also to machines of all kinds, armament, apparatus, and all the technical means of prosecution of war in general.
3. The German High Command will at once issue to the appropriate commanders, and ensure the carrying out of any further orders issued by the Supreme Commander, Allied Expeditionary Force and by the Supreme Command of the Red Army.
4. This act of military surrender is without prejudice to, and will be superseded by any general instrument of surrender imposed by, or on behalf of the United Nations and applicable to GERMANY and the German armed forces as a whole."
[2] "5. In the event of the German High Command or any of the forces under their control failing to act in accordance with this Act of Surrender, the Supreme Commander, Allied Expeditionary Force and the Supreme High Command of the Red Army will take such punitive or other action as they deem appropriate.
Signed at Rhemis France at 02.41 on the 7th day of May, 1945.
On behalf of the German High Command.
"Jodl" [signed by Col. Gen. Alfred Jodl]
IN THE PRESENCE OF
On behalf of the Supreme Commander, Allied Expeditioanry Force.
"W. B Smith" [signed by Lieutenant general Walter Bedell Smith]
On behalf of the Soviet High Command.
"Sousloparov" [signed by Maj. Gen. Ivan Sousloparov]
"F Sevez" [signed by Maj. Gen. Francois Sevez]
This, the unconditional surrender of the German Third Reich was signed in the early morning hours of Monday, May 7, 1945; the time on the documents is noted as 02.41 hours, or 2:41 A.M. The scene was the war room at SHAEF (Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force), located in the Professional and Technical School at Reims, a historic city in northeastern France that had been almost completely leveled by the Germans during the war. Across the conference table, representatives of the four Allied Powers – France, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and the United States – faced the three German officers delegated by Adm. Dönitz: Col. Gen. Alfred Jodl, who alone had been authorized to sign the surrender document; Gen. Adm. Hans Georg von Friedeburg, a chief negotiator; and Maj. Friedrich Wilhelm Oxenius, an aide to Jodl.
Lt. Gen. Walter Bedell Smith, SHAEF chief of staff, led the Allied delegation as the representative of Gen. Eisenhower, who had refused to meet with the Germans until the surrender had been accomplished. Other American officers present were Maj. Gen. Harold R. Bull and Gen. Carl Spaatz. British observers were Adm. Sir Harold Burrough, Lt. Gen. Sir Fred Morgan (SHAEF deputy chief of staff), and Air Marshal J. M. Robb. Maj. Gen. Ivan Sousloparov, head of the Soviet mission to France, represented the Soviet High Command; he was accompanied by Lt. Ivan Chermiaev and Senior Lt. Col. Ivan Zenkovitch as interpreters. Representing the French chief of staff (Gen. Alphonse Pierre Juin) was Maj. Gen. Francois Sevez. The more than 44 hours between the signing of the Act of Military Surrender and the cease-fire to take place at 23.01 hours, or 11:01 P.M., on May 8 represented a concession to the Germans by SHAEF, one that unintentionally allowed more German troops to be moved westward for surrender to American or British and Commonwealth forces rather than to those of the Soviet Union. Signers of the surrender document were Col. Gen. Alfred Jodl, on behalf of the German High Command; Lt. Gen. Walter Bedell Smith, representing Gen. Eisenhower; Maj. Gen. Ivan Sousloparov, fulfilling the Big Three agreement that a Soviet representative would take part in any ceremony of total surrender; and Maj. Gen. Francois Sevez, signing as a witness for France.
It's interesting to note that the signature of the French representative was made in the lower margin of the document. This appears to be the case both on the original, issued to the Supreme Allied Commander, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and on the American, British, and Russian national copies. It's been verbally passed down that the Germans did not consider the French equal to the Americans, British, and Russians (as they had defeated France), thus insisted that their signature would not appear, except in the margin.
Along with the surrender document, another document signed at the same time is also included. The second document is an agreement for formal ratification of the unconditional surrender at a later date, to be specified by Gen. Eisenhower in his capacity as Supreme Commander, which is signed by Col. Gen. Alfred Jodl.
The document in full: "UNDERTAKING GIVEN BY CERTAIN GERMAN EMISSARIES TO THE ALLIED HIGH COMMANDS
It is agreed by the German emissaries undersigned that the following German officers will arrive at a place and time designated by the Supreme Commander, Allied Expeditionary Force, and the Soviet High Command prepared, with plenary powers, to execute a formal ratification on behalf of the German High Command of this act of Unconditional Surrender of the German armed forces.
Chief of the High Command
Commander-in-Chief of the Army
Commander-in-Chief of the Navy
Commander-in-Chief of the Air Forces
Representing the German High Command.
DATED 02 41 7th May 1945 Rheims, France"
There's a total of five copies of the surrender document; one of which is the document offered here. The other four are owned by various institutions in the U.S., England, Russia, and France. The American national copy is owned by the National Archives, who also are aware of the existence of the document offered here.
When the upcoming generations summarize the 20th century – they will do so by referring to the Second World War. A historical event that forever changed the world. The document that ended the Second World War is not only the ultimate military/war-related collectible, but it's also the most important document ever to be offered for sale. This is the definition of a once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity…
What happened between 1939 and 1945 is simply horrible, and heartbreaking – very much so. Approximately 80 million human beings died, both military and civilians. 80 million… This document demonstrates that evilness lost.
– and humanity won.
Size: Approximately 8 x 12.5 in. / 20 x 31,5 cm each, unframed.
Condition: Very good condition; some handling creases; paper clip impression.
Provenance: President Dwight E. Eisenhower (then General and Supreme Allied Commander) who gave his copy to his adjutant whose estate this document later was obtained from; Private collection, USA. Letter of authenticity from Alexander Bitar History.

When I began research on this paper, my original goal was to determine the effects of the tariff cuts resulting from the Kennedy Round of Tariff negotiations, completed in June, 1967. I soon found many related areas of economics which were both necessary for understanding the field of tariff reduction and interesting to me. So, my paper has used the Kennedy Round as a focal point around which to discuss tariffs. In my paper I include a few basic justifications of freer trade, a history of free trade in the United States, the particular problems preceding the Kennedy Round, and the Kennedy Round itself. I hope to have given a broad picture of the problems in any move toward freer trade, using the Kennedy Round as the most recent and most pertinent move toward freer trade in the postwar period. The Kennedy Round was a meeting of the signers of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade for the purpose of reducing tariffs and other non-tariff barriers to trade. It was held in Geneva from 1962 to the end of June, 1967. The United States was given power to organize and participate in the Kennedy Round through the provisions of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. I hope in this paper to justify tariff cutting as a move toward free trade and progress from the Trade Expansion Act to the Kennedy Round and the results of the Kennedy Round. I have attempted to make most of this paper understandable to the average undergraduate, but am afraid I may have included too many ideas to make this possible.


THE HAGUE, 12/09/13 - The health ministry's Medicinal Cannabis Bureau is to supply cannabis for a Utrecht experiment on the supply of hashish to people with psychiatric problems.
Utrecht has some 80 addicts with a chronic psychotic disturbance on its streets. They are difficult to treat and this is likely because the cannabis that they use provokes psychosis. A small group is allowed to participate in the treatment experiment for which the ministry is supplying the weed.
Addiction institutions and researchers at the Amsterdam Medical Centre (AMC) will investigate whether the controlled provision of the right type of cannabis helps the addicts. The experiment will start in the autumn.
The treatment experiment is one of the two initiatives that the municipality is supported to get the use of cannabis out of the criminal sphere. The other experiment is the establishment of the Social Cannabis Club Domstad (SCCD), in which a hundred adults grow cannabis together for their own use. The intention is to take the harvest out of the criminal circuit.
The SCCD will apply for an exemption so that the growing of cannabis for own use is not punishable. Justice Minister Ivo Opstelten has already indicated that he will put a spanner in the works, but according to Everhardt, it is not up to him at all. ''The SCCD is not applying for an exemption at Justice but at Health, because the club was set up to combat the negative effects of cannabis on health."
Utrecht municipality had come up with the cannabis club more than a year ago as its first thought. Meanwhile, similar plans have emerged in Rotterdam. Towns like Eindhoven, Tilburg and Leeuwarden are also considering legalised cannabis-growing.

Extract of sample "An Effective HR System: Employment Opportunity Law"
Download file to see previous pages Organizations operating in the United States, regardless of their country of incorporation, must fulfil with federal equal employment opportunity laws. U. S. companies with offices or plants in foreign locations must comply with both U. S. and host-country requirements in their overseas locations. All these laws are administered by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The EEOC is the federal agency responsible for enforcing equal employment opportunity law and hearing employee complaints. A person, who thinks that he or she has been discriminated against, and wants to file a formal claim against the offending company, first has to go to the EEOC. If the EEOC thinks the claim has some merit, the agency will try to help the two parties to reach a mutually agreeable settlement. If a settlement cannot be reached, the EEOC can pursue the case in court on behalf of the claimant or can give the claimant permission to pursue the case on his or her own. With that many claims to investigate, there's no way that the EEOC could possibly shepherd each of those individual claims through the legal system. Instead, the EEOC emphasizes out-of-court agreements and only takes direct legal action in cases that are likely to have a major impact; class action suits that affect a large number of people or are likely to set a legal precedent for future cases. The agency's function in investigating discrimination claims can lead some managers to think of their relationship with the EEOC as primarily adversarial—especially if they've found themselves facing the agency's representatives in a courtroom. ...Download file to see next pagesRead More

The first two issues that may arise with regards to showing photographs of white and Asian people are that this is considered by statutory laws to be racial discrimination. However, it could be argued through the use of the principle of positive action which states that racial discrimination is only applicable when a person reasonably believes that he/she would suffer a disadvantage in relation to the characteristic shared.

Putting Edge provides a new and exciting twist on the traditional game of mini-golf. From the moment you enter one of our "Blacklit" courses, you have left "the real world" and have entered a universe full of fun, imagination, and activity. You will be immersed in a kaleidoscope of dazzling "Glow-in-the-Dark" colors, images and sounds, rocking your senses in unordinary, inevitable ways.
Transport from the ocean depths to lush rain forests, from medieval times to the Aztec jungles, as you vie to sink your putt on our 18- hole challenging mini golf course.
