More on the Matter of UFOs and Strange Creatures: Today it's Nessie and Aliens
Having written an article recently on the matter of the connection between strange creatures and aliens (that previous article being on Bigfoot and UFOs), I thought I would demonstrate the connection between UFOs and lake monsters – specifically, things relative to Loch Ness, Scotland. And, we all know what lives there! We'll begin with a fascinating, and controversial, story. According to Swedish Jan-Ove Sundberg – twenty-three at the time – on August 14, 1971, and at some point between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m., he was in a section of woodland above Foyers Bay when he came across something amazing. Sundberg near-stumbled upon a landed UFO and its presumed extraterrestrial crew! The craft was situated in a clearing, giving the impression that its pilots had chosen the site deliberately, since it gave them the opportunity to land and hide their presence – that is, until Sundberg inadvertently foiled their plan. The craft was, to say the least, a decidedly odd one. It was around thirty feet in length, dark gray in color, and cigar-shaped. It had a significantly sized section on top that reminded Sundberg of a large handle. The overall image was that of a giant iron used for getting the creases out of clothing. Amazement turned to concern when, out of the trees, came a trio of figures: all humanoid in shape, of approximately human proportions, and dressed in outfits that closely resembled the outfits worn by divers. In fact, at first, Sundberg assumed they were divers, from a then-active team that was searching the depths of Loch Ness for the monster. It became apparent the three were not divers, however, when they entered the odd-looking craft via a panel and the craft took to the skies, vertically, for about sixty feet. After which it began to move horizontally over the hills and in the direction of nearby Loch Mhor. Now, let's look at some other cases that blend UFOs and Loch Ness together.
(Nick Redfern)
More Loch Ness weirdness hit the news in 2011, specifically in August of that year. The UK's Daily Express newspaper splashed a headline across its pages that read: "Alert as UFO is sighted over Loch Ness." The story was, undoubtedly, an odd one. That something occurred does not appear to be in doubt. It is, however, the nature of the "something" that remains open to debate. It was on the night of August 20, 2011 that a number of people –many being completely independent of each other – encountered something unusual in the skies over Loch Ness. Witness descriptions of the movements of the object fell into two camps: those who said they saw it descending into the loch and those who maintained it was actually hovering above the expansive waters. As for the appearance of the UFO, it very much depended on who one asked. But, whatever it was, it quickly caught the attention of the emergency services, who were contacted by worried locals.
Martin Douglas, of the Loch Ness Life Boat crew, told the Daily Mail that someone in the area had seen what, superficially at least, resembled a microlight or a hang-glider, and which actually seemed to enter the loch in a controlled flight. Oddly, however, others who saw the unknown craft described it as being somewhat balloon-shaped. Then there were those who opined it looked eerily like a fully-open parachute. There was, then, no real, solid consensus on what was seen – or on what wasn't seen. Crew member Vivian Bailey added that although the mystery was not resolved, the emergency services were pleased that concerned people had quickly contacted them. There is, however, a very odd afterword to all this. Exactly one month previously, on July 21, law enforcement offices in the vicinity of 125-miles-long Lake Champlain – which covers parts of New York and Vermont, and portions of Quebec, Canada – were inundated with calls from worried locals, all who had seen a balloon-like object fall into the huge lake, near Rouses Point, New York. Police and Border Patrol personnel were quickly dispatched and scoured the area, but with no luck. After around four hours, the search was called off. It remained a mystery. It should be noted, however, that, just like Loch Ness, Lake Champlain has its own resident monster. Champ, as the creature is famously known, is, like Nessie, a large, long-necked leviathan that has taken on near-legendary proportions.
In the summer of 2015, the controversy of the Loch Ness Monster was taken to a new height – as in literally. That was when the mystery was yet again linked to the matter of high-flying UFOs. The three key figures in the story were Alan Betts and his wife, Anna, and Anna's mother, Tatiana. The family, from the English city of York, were holidaying in Scotland. It was April 2015, and the three were staying at a cottage near Urquhart Castle – which, as has been demonstrated in these pages, is an undeniable hotspot for Nessie encounters. While at the loch, and as is the case for practically everyone who visits the loch, they took a good number of photos. It wasn't until the Betts returned home, however, that they realized just how weird one of their vacation pictures was. Taken by Tatiana, it appeared to show a pair of anomalous objects in the sky, right over Loch Ness. As if Nessie wasn't enough of a mystery on its own!
Alan – the director of a refrigerating company – said when the story hit the headlines two months later that the timing of their vacation was fortuitous. The weather was pretty much perfect: that's to say it was bright and sunny for almost the entire time. However, on one particular day, and after the Betts spent hours of checking out the area, things changed. The sunny weather was suddenly gone and everything quickly became dark and gloomy and the rain poured in definitive deluge style. Tatiana decided to take a photo of the moody skies – something which proved to be crucial to the story. It was only after the family got back home, and downloaded their holiday pictures onto their PC, that they noticed something odd on that particular photo. It was a pair of brightly lit objects that appeared to be flying over Loch Ness, but which weren't seen at the time Tatiana took the picture. Alan was a self-confessed skeptic, but admitted that he was at a loss to explain what the camera had captured. Interestingly, Alan added: "Our Akita dog, Yuka, was strangely unsettled that night." No doubt.

Coloring the Sea Around the Pribilof Islands
The Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 captured this view of a phytoplankton bloom near Alaska's Pribilof Islands on Sept. 22, 2014. The Pribilofs are surrounded by nutrient-rich waters in the Bering Sea. The milky green and light blue shading of the water indicates the presence of vast populations of microscopic phytoplankton—mostly coccolithophores, which have calcite scales that appear white in satellite images. Such phytoplankton form the foundation of a tremendously productive habitat for fish and birds.
Blooms in the Bering Sea increase significantly in springtime, after winter ice cover retreats and nutrients and freshened water are abundant near the ocean surface. Phytoplankton populations plummet in summertime as the water warms, surface nutrients are depleted by blooms, and the plant-like organisms are depleted by grazing fish, zooplankton, and other marine life. By autumn, storms can stir nutrients back to the surface and cooler waters make better bloom conditions.

In recent years, the cupcake made a huge comeback with Magnolia and the Barefoot Contessa on the east coast, and Joan's on Third and Sprinkle's in Los Angeles where I live. Our friends Angela's violet frosted and Tory's vanilla cupcakes are heaven sent confections too. They're all delish and not just the frosting — the cake too. My kid loves these coconut cupcakes and we often throw a cupcake party just to have the excuse to bake and decorate them together.
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a bowl.
In your mixer, use paddle to cream the butter and sugar until fluffy.
On low speed, add the eggs one at a time.
Add one-third of your dry ingredients and then ½ cup of buttermilk. Repeat previous step and then add the rest of your dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, do not overmix.
Add sour cream or mayonnaise.
Line muffin/cupcake pans with paper liners.
Fill each cup with batter.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until the tops are slightly brown and your toothpick comes out clean.
After they've cooled, remove from muffin pans onto a baking rack and cool completely.
Frost with icing. Be generous.
Roll tops of frosting with sweetened coconut. Be generous.
My genius brother-in-law/chef extraordinaire provided the tip to add mayonnaise to this recipe which makes and keeps the cake moist. When baking, it's best if most refrigerated ingredients like butter, eggs, etc. are room temperature. Sometimes I make the mini version of these cupcakes (this recipe makes about 4 dozen minis) — you should start checking the mini-cupcakes at 15 minutes. One more thing — these cupcakes freeze well making this a good dessert that you can make ahead of time for parties.

Living in an endurance sport boom, there's no shortage of races happening on any weekend just around the corner. But there's still something alluring about racing away from home. You can't deny this when you see droves of people signing up to the Laguna Phuket Triathlon, the Tokyo Marathon or the 70.3 ironman.
New athletes may choose a destination race as their first taste of the sport to help motivate themselves to train, while more experienced athletes may be looking for a different challenge or have dreamt of finishing a race that's on their bucket list.
When planning a destination race, a lot of thought should go into not only the logistics of how to get there and where to stay and eat, but also how to prepare yourself properly to race on unfamiliar soil.
Here's how to plan your destination race.
Determine how far you're willing to travel and how much you're willing to spend.
If you're the kind who gets antsy on airplanes or fidgety on long road trips, then that should impact your decision about which race to target. But if you believe that race is worth it, then go for it.
Budget is really the limit when it comes to destination races. If there's a race you're dying to do even if it's on the other side of the world, you would pinch pennies and save however long it may take.
It's just like going to a holiday destination, except there's a bit more exertion involved than just lifting mai tais to your lips. And don't waste the travel by heading immediately home after the race; if you can spare a day or so post-race to take in some sights and culture, I highly recommend it.
Research the requirements involved in traveling to that destination.
Most race websites will give you a rough idea of how to fly or drive into the venue city and may have partner hotels and airlines with preferential rates. The more thorough organizers will provide full travel packages at set prices. There are also third-party travel agencies that provide these services along with guaranteed entry to the race.
Sometimes these packages and deals can end up being more expensive than if you make the arrangements yourself. Scout the hotels within a one- or two-kilometer radius of the race's start or finish on Google Maps and browse for deals on Agoda or Booking.com. For added thoroughness, check out their TripAdvisor reviews before booking.
Use a Google search to find out which airlines fly to the race city. Then you can see how much you could save by flying on budget airlines those versus full-service carriers. If you're flying with a bike, check the fine print on the airline's baggage policy before purchasing the tickets to avoid any nasty hidden charges at check-in.
Take note: it isn't enough just to find out how much plane fares, hotels, and transfers will cost. Some destinations may also require jumping through visa hoops, so make sure you can get everything sorted before you fly out.
Decide on the race before registration opens.
Depending on your type of work and the labor laws in your country, you will receive days of paid leave which you'll need to schedule in advance. Notice how most new races are announced in December and January? They want to be top of mind when you start thinking about when to take your leaves.
Once registration opens, many of the sought-after destination races sell out quickly. The most popular races and marathons in the world like New York, Tokyo, and Chicago run lotteries instead to allocate slots to their races.
So, once you've decided on the race you want to do, put yourself in position to pounce on a slot. Subscribe to the organizer's email updates. Follow them on social media. Camp out on the registration page and keep refreshing if you need to, because before you know it the next chance to do the race could be next year.
Train properly for the race.
Because you're going to all the effort and expense of racing somewhere different and distant, you should get your money's worth. By preparing yourself properly for what the race will require, you can cross the finish line strong and personally triumphant.
Take a look at the course profile and prepare accordingly. If it's a flat course it will recruit the same muscles over and over again so you need to train for that. If it's a rolling course you need to build strength to maintain your speed over the varying terrain. If it's a hilly or mountainous course, then hit the inclines! If its the 70.3 ironman then lock into a set training plan to cover all bases.
If the race is held somewhere with a climate or elevation that's very different from your home country, you should find every opportunity to simulate race conditions while in training. This is where heat or altitude training comes in.
Don't leave training 'til crunch time; it's important to build your fitness gradually so you can avoid illness and injury from doing too much too fast. There are a number of websites that provide marathon or triathlon training plans lasting several months (most will range from 12 to 16 weeks), perfect if your training for the 70.3 ironman! You can also retain a coach who can customize the training to suit your unique needs, abilities, and goals.
Some of us may be lone wolves in our chos en sport, training and racing by ourselves. But having friends training for the same race really helps when motivation flags. Knowing there's someone you know out there on the course who will have your back when things go wrong does wonders for peace of mind.
Traveling in a group can also cut costs per head particularly when it comes to hotel rooms and transport fares. As an added bonus, if you've got spectators in your group you effectively bring your own cheering squad.
There are so many well-run races in breathtaking destinations around the world. This year, don't miss out. Let your feet take you places… literally.

Mariners unearth a gem and A-League hope
Central Coast have came away with just a point but plenty of hope and a new star of the A-League, in Serbian Milan Duric, from their opening two games of the season.
And coach Alen Stajcic is confident his side is close to becoming a "very dangerous prospect for the finals" after back-to-back wooden spoon campaigns.
Central Coast drew 1-1 with Newcastle on Saturday night in Gosford courtesy of a retaken penalty from Jets attacker Dimi Petratos in the 56th minute.
Post-game debate centred on the use of video assistant referee to give Newcastle a second chance to equalise after Mariners goalkeeper Mark Birighitti came off his line to save the initial penalty from Petratos.
But the revival of Central Coast, in their first full season under Stajcic, was also in focus.
The Mariners repelled numerous Jets attacks and looked dangerous with the ball, especially on the counter.
And Duric was the standout.
As he did in the round one loss to Western Sydney, the 32-year-old put the Mariners in front -this time with a stunning strike in the fourth minute.
And was centimetres away from giving the hosts the winner at the death when his shot crashed into the post.
In between, the attacking midfielder was a regular threat for Central Coast with his pace and skill.
In the first minute of the second half, he was close with a thundering free kick that Glen Moss kept at bay.
Stajcic was thrilled with how quickly Duric had made an impact.
"He's improving week to week, I just can't believe how quickly he's improved and adjusted and adapted to our league," the former Matildas coach said.
"I'm really pleased for him. His work rate, his quality, his execution, his shooting - he's got a real weapon there.
"Just his cleverness on the ball and ability to read the game.
"There's not many imports who have come into the A-League and been able to adapt to the speed of our game so quickly, so a lot of credit needs to go to him for that."
Stajcic, though, was pleased with performances across the park and said that when his players execute key moments better "we're certainly going to be a team who can compete with anyone and beat anyone on any given day".
"When that comes and that clicks I think we're going to be a very dangerous prospect for the finals," he said.
The Mariners have the bye before tough away games to Perth and Melbourne City.

Q: On semi-group of operators W. Rudin. Functional Analysis (2nd Ed) $\S 13.34$ and $\S 13.35$.
$Q(t)$ is a semi-group of bounded linear operators on a Banach space $X$ for $t\in [0,\infty)$ such that
1) $Q(0) = 1$.
2) $Q(t+s)=Q(t)Q(s)$.
3) $\lim_{\epsilon\rightarrow 0}||Q(\epsilon) x - x||=0\; \forall x\in X$.
It is shown that there exist reals $C(>0),\gamma$ such that $||Q(t)|| \le C\exp(\gamma t)\; \forall \;t\in [0,\infty)$ and that the map $t \mapsto Q(t)x$ is continuous $\forall x \in X$. Then the operator $M_t$ given by $$M_t x=\frac{1}{t}\int_{0}^{t}Q(s)x \;ds$$ is well defined as integral of a vector valued function ($\S3.26-29$). The claim is that $$||M_t||\le C\exp(\gamma t).$$ For $\gamma\ge0$, I can see this. In fact $||M_t||\le C \frac{\exp(\gamma t)-1}{\gamma t}$ which implies the above for $\gamma\ge0$. I can not see how the above bound can be obtained for $\gamma\lt 0$.
Thanks.

A: $$
     \|M_tx\| \le \frac{1}{t}\int_{0}^{t}\|Q(s)x\|ds \\
               \le \frac{1}{t}\int_{0}^{t}e^{\gamma s}ds\cdot C\|x\|.
$$
The integral is the mean value of $e^{\gamma s}$ for $s \in [0,t]$, which is bounded by $e^{\gamma t}$ if $\gamma > 0$; but this would not be the case if $\gamma < 0$. You can test with the case $Q(s) = e^{\gamma s}I$; in this case
$$
     M_t x=\frac{1}{t}\int_{0}^{t}e^{\gamma s}ds\; x
$$
For $\gamma < 0$, this is not bounded by $e^{\gamma t}\|x\|$. So, if this is to hold, then I suspect they are assuming $\gamma > 0$.

For many Chinese born before the 1980s, traditional picture books, or lianhuanhua, are part of childhood memories.
In an attempt to revive public interest in the lost format, the first edition of Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the lianhuanhua style was recently reprinted.
A whole set of the picture book series.
Written by 15th-century author Luo Guanzhong, the novel is considered among China's greatest classics. Its lianhuanhua version has sold tens of millions copies since first being published in 1957.
Lianhuanhua, which literally means "linked pictures", originated in 1920s Shanghai. The palm-size book has a painting on each page, with a few lines of text below telling stories that range from the country's traditional fables to modern literature. Each lianhuanhua book is usually less than 100 pages.
A collector views lianhuanhua on display before an auction in Beijing.
"Back then, there were lianhuanhua rent stalls in every corner of Beijing," says Wang Jialong, the 74-year-old collector of such books, of his childhood in 1950s.
"After school, we all went to the stalls to read them."
Romance of the Three Kingdoms tells the story of the many wars among feudal lords in China at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 25-220). The first lianhuanhua edition of the novel, published by the Shanghai People's Art Publishing House, came in a set of 60 books. All parts of the lianhuanhua weren't released at once, says Wang.

"I bought them one by one, from the first book in 1957, to the last in 1961."
In the latest version, the novel is again divided into some 60 parts, with most of the original paintings reprinted. Some visuals that were lost over time have been given a modern touch.
"At the time, the price of one book was around 0.2 yuan, and I usually saved a part of the money for breakfast to buy them," says Wang, who has collected more than 23,000 books.
During the "cultural revolution" (1966-76), when many works of literature were destroyed because of their feudal themes, the lianhuanhua of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was no longer printed. But amid all that Wang was able to hide his books and turn into a collector later in life.
The books returned to their earlier popularity in the mid-1980s, when lianhuanhua were being published by the hundreds of millions annually.
As many other forms of entertainment, mainly TV and Japanese comic books and cartoons entered ordinary Chinese households as China ushered in economic reforms, lianhuanhua gradually disappeared again from the public eye. Since the mid-1990s, it has been difficult of find books in the format in stores.
But at the same time, almost, old lianhuanhua began to appear in the collector's market at steep prices.
"A well-preserved lianhuanhua collection of the first edition of the Romance of Three Kingdoms is worth more than 1 million yuan ($159,800) today," Liu Wei, the director of Beijing-based auction company, Guoxintaifeng, told China Daily on the sidelines of an auction held in Beijing, when more than 400 lianhuanhua went under the hammer, with opening bids at more than 1,000 yuan. Most collectors, between 40 and 60 years old, kept the books as a hobby during childhood.
Apart from the scarcity of lianhuanhua, the artistic value of the old books has driven prices high on the market.
There are around 6,900 artworks in the lianhuanhua series on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms by some 30 painters, many of whom were famous Chinese artists back then, and the original title for each book was drawn by renowned calligrapher He Tianjian.
In addition, each book has a stamp on its cover in a different shape and font.
Wen Zeyuan, president of Shanghai People's Art Publishing House, told local media earlier that lianhuanhua as a traditional Chinese art form is relevant now despite the passing of time.
"Just as lyrical poetry of the Song Dynasty (960-1279) cannot replace the classical poems that had flourished during the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907), the modern picture book, likewise, cannot replace lianhuanhua," says Wen, adding that every year, more than 100 titles of lianhuanhua are reprinted by his publishing house.

Richland One School District
Former Hand Middle School principal named 2015 Arts Administrator of the Year
From ColaDaily.com Article by Kelly Petty
The folks at Hand Middle School takes art seriously. Just about every wall in the school is adorned with colorful murals and original artwork from the students. The sounds of a rehearsal, band practice or orchestra warm up can be heard in the halls. None of it would be possible without the efforts of the faculty and staff under the former principal Marisa Vickers. Vickers was acknowledged for her leadership in promoting the arts and arts education at the school with the 2015 Arts Administrator of the Year Award by the South Carolina Alliance for Arts Education. "I'm thrilled, absolutely honored and humbled by the award," she said. "It's truly a collaborative award based on the work of Hand Middle School. I worked with extraordinary, talented and visionary teachers in the arts and academics." Vickers, who was promoted to serve as an executive director of schools for Richland School District One this year after serving as principal for 15 years, pushed for a comprehensive initiative to infuse arts in daily instruction at the Hand Middle. Vickers and the faculty and staff at the school found that they could create meaningful connections in the curriculum and build an interdisciplinary learning environment when art was incorporated into study. "We need to have those connections and approach children with different learning styles," Vickers said. "The arts do a beautiful job of that." The school offers orchestra, drama, chorus, dance, visual arts and band for students in sixth through eighth grade. Vickers said creative writing and video production was added to encompass all forms of the arts. Art also has become a tool for learning within the classroom for general subject courses. Sixth-grade students in drama who studied social studies and world history performed "The Odyssey" and other theatrical productions related to that time period, Vickers said. Those in drama who are bit shy to get on stage have an opportunity to learn stage production, including lighting, sound and set design through the technology team led by Hand Middle's stage manager and orchestra teacher. Vickers said students apply for the program during the spring and are trained during the summer. Those students go on to manage and operate what happens behind-the-scenes of a performance, which helps them develop into leaders. "It's motivational because children are actually involved. It's not just what we're performing on stage, it's all the facets," Vicker said. "We discover strengths we did not know existed in our students." Teachers are encouraged seek arts-related grants attend arts education conferences and collaborate on ideas to promote the success of the arts programs at Hand Middle. Vickers said the school gained exemplary on its report card because of the extensive arts curriculum. "We pulled on children's strengths and allowed children to showcase their works with alternative types of products that you don't traditionally see in a classroom," Vickers said. Hand Middle also extended their passion for the arts out into the community with a partnership between the city of Columbia and the school's foundation to build an outdoor amphitheater at Emily Douglass Park. The venue has become a place to hold performances including Richland One's jazz festival, as well as integrate into the existing park for the community to enjoy. "It's important for students to have an audience for their work," Vickers said. The teachers and staff at Hand Middle continue to make the arts and integral part of learning and have drawn on the lessons and leadership Vickers left. The teachers and staff at Hand Middle continue to make the arts and integral part of learning and have drawn on the lessons and leadership Vickers left. "I wanted to be the teacher that I didn't have and that is why I use the arts," said creative writing teacher Helen Schell. Schell said Vickers was a leader that gave teachers a chance to pursue new ideas to integrate art in the classroom, even allowing faculty-led classes to create learning experiences for other teachers to get them familiar with the arts. "Mrs. Vickers trusts her teachers," said Kara Corley, dance teacher. "She knows we know our craft. She trusts that we are going to deliver it accurately and enthusiastically to the students." Jennifer Simmons, Hand Middle's theater teacher, nominated Vickers. She said Vickers represented the type of administrator that was an ardent, visible supporter of the arts, which created an environment to see students blossom. "Whenever we would go to her for an idea or project, she would always respond with 'That's a great idea. What can I do to help," Simmons said. Vickers said receiving the award was unexpected because creating art does not come easy to her. "My art class in college was my most challenging," she said. "It is not a natural strength of mine." The experiences she had a Hand Middle, however, have continued to challenge her at the district level as she seeks to empower all students through learning. "Collaboration with all of our stakeholder groups, our teachers, students and community members--it will only make us stronger because our students are an investment," she said.

Paul Taylor Dance Company visit an "infusion of choreography, master classes, and performance"
Paul Taylor Dance Company dancers will offer master classes and lecture demonstrations to dance students at USC, as well as to students from area middle and high schools. [caption id="attachment_15656" align="alignright" width="150"] Paul Taylor[/caption] The University of South Carolina dance program will host the internationally acclaimed Paul Taylor Dance Company for a one-night-only performance, Wednesday, October 22 at the Koger Center for the Arts. The performance is sponsored by the University of South Carolina College of Arts and Sciences, the USC Department of Theatre and Dance and Richland One School District. Show time is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 for 2nd Balcony seating, $35 for Grand Tier seating and $40 for Orchestra seating. Tickets can be reserved by calling (803) 777-5112 or by purchasing online at capitoltickets.com. One of the towering icons of modern dance, Paul Taylor has been a prominent dance artist since the mid 1950s and is considered by many to be America's greatest living choreographer. Since its founding, Paul Taylor Dance Company has traveled the world, performing in 540 cities in 64 countries, reinforcing its historic role as one of the early touring companies of American modern dance. The New York Times has praised Paul Taylor Dance Company as "one of the most exciting, innovative, and delightful dance companies in the entire world." The company's Koger Center program will include performances of popular masterworks from the Paul Taylor repertoire, including Diggity, The Word, and Esplanade. "The dances we're performing showcase the brilliance of Paul Taylor in a variety of dance styles and themes," said John Tomlinson, executive director of the Paul Taylor Dance Foundation. "These dances – a combination of classics and recent masterworks – are a marriage of some of the world's greatest choreography – performed by some of the world's finest dancers." For USC Dance founder and Artistic Director Susan Anderson, the chance to bring the renowned company to the University stage was one she couldn't pass up. She says she has been in love with the choreographer's work since her early days as a dancer in Irvine, California. "I was one of those 'bunhead' ballerinas growing up," Anderson says with a laugh. "When I first saw the company in the early 1970s in Los Angeles, it was the first time I'd seen modern dance and I absolutely fell in love with Paul Taylor's style. He's extremely inventive and creative -- he breaks all of the rules and regulations of ballet." This visit to Columbia will bring more than just a dynamic performance to the Midlands. During their stay, PTDC dancers will offer master classes and lecture demonstrations to dance students at the University, as well as to students from area middle and high schools. For University dance majors, the Paul Taylor connection has informed much of the Fall semester's studies, as they rehearse Taylor's famous Company B with former PTDC dancer Cathy Buck. Company B is scheduled for performance during the USC Dance Company's 20th Century Masterpieces concert, which will be performed at the Koger Center November 6 and 7. Current PTDC performers will be present for a public critique of the student's progress on Company B on October 21 from 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. in the USC Dance Studios at 324 Sumter St. The rehearsal and critique are open to the public. Study of the Paul Taylor canon will continue for majors in USC's Dance Education track, who will be creating educational packets detailing Taylor's distinctive style, which they will distribute to area schools. "Having this infusion of Paul Taylor choreography, master classes, lecture demonstrations and performances is an outstanding way for our students to become very familiar with this very influential style of dance," said Anderson. "We are truly grateful to Dean Mary Anne Fitzpatrick from the College of Arts and Sciences for making this performance possible, and for her vision for the arts at USC to be an integral part of the community." For more information about the PTDC Koger performance or the dance program at the University of South Carolina, contact Kevin Bush, bushk@mailbox.sc.edu or (803) 777-9353.

top lyrics the song live
Dust in the Wind
By: Beck Hansen
Live Versions:
Dust in the Wind (Reprise)
Dust in the Wind [Live version (a)]:
Feelin' like dust in the wind that was one from the end of the bend
Where the dust could never end even if it wanted to!
And dust of the dust, dust, the plus of the plus and the most of the most
Through some kind of blown-out ghost, dust in and out of the wind
Between and sideways, lookin' out of the corner of my eye
In the wind, dust and wind, the words that have been used
Dropped like science from some appliance
Dust / wind equals instant folk song
Dust in the wind, dust in my chord changes
Holding me up, making me up, taking me up
And the wind is changing my own style
Of making dust feel like it is
The Song:
Beck performed one of his low-key, tiny acoustic concerts on September 1, 1996, in Hoboken, NJ. He did not have a setlist, and after opening with "Puttin It Down," Beck asked for requests. Among the roar of shouts, someone asked for "Dust in the Wind." They were probably referring to Kansas' classic rock staple, "Dust in the Wind," but Beck did not seem to realize that. So instead he improvised!
His little tune began about dust in the wind, but by the end was referencing itself?"Dust and wind, the words that have been used / Dropped like science from some appliance / Dust, wind equals instant folk song." The improvisation really sets a loose, fun mood for the rest of the show.
Later on in the set, he once again returned to the song. He quietly plucked some guitar and strained to reach some new high notes, but it was a little coda to the made-up, improvised song. "That wasn't a song. I'm just filling up the space," he explained.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited) Notes to Non-GAAP Financial Measures: This presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the tables included in this presentation for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures. Management monitors and evaluates our operating and financial performance using several non-GAAP financial measures, including Constant Currency Revenue, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Net Profit, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Capital Employed, Net Cash, Free Cash Flow, and CapEx. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and relevant information regarding our performance and improve our ability to assess our financial condition. While similar measures are widely used in the industry in which we operate, the financial measures we use may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies, nor are they intended to be substitutes for measures of financial performance or financial position as prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The Great Santini Study Guide
Chapter 19 Summary
The next evening, Bull and Lillian dressed up for the Marine Corps birthday ball. They were doing it in silence on opposite ends of their bedroom. This night usually makes Bull feel a deep pride for the Corps. But tonight, Bull feels saddened because it meant that they had to remember all of the men he knew that lost their lives in battle. As he was dressing, he pondered on how he's been gaining weight in his middle age. He got irate at Lillian for making a comment about his weight. She told him to talk to the children before they leave. Bull gathered some weapons from their bedroom and planned a surprise attack on his children.
Mary Anne refused to participate in their father's silly games. The boys continued playing with their father, with Karen not knowing what do without instructions. Seeing an opportunity, she attacked her father from the side, accidentally dropping a shot putt on his left foot. He screamed so loudly while the children retreated upstairs. Lillian immediately rushed downstairs upon hearing her husband scream. She poked fun at Bull for being knocked down by their youngest daughter. She started laughing so loudly at her husband's limping.
All of Bull's other kids were surprised at what Karen did. They waited for their parents to leave before returning back into the house. While they were alone at home, the children were having their own private celebration of the birth of the Corps for the third consecutive year. It was Matt and Karen's first time to join their older siblings with the tradition.
Notes: One of Bull's games backfired on him because of Karen's confusion to what she was supposed to do. The children's fear for him is so great; they had to resort to climbing up a tree to avoid his rage. Also, Ben and Mary Anne's disgust towards their father was symbolized by the "ceremony" that they have during the Marine birthday ball.
Ben packed his things and prepared for basketball tryouts. He always looked forward to making the basketball team every year that he entered a new school. However, despite playing a good game and making the team, he didn't find it pleasing due to the fact that he can't get along with the others that he's with. The day that he found out that he made the team, he walked home by himself. He thought about the first team that he didn't make it in and how his father exerted effort in making up for what happened. He was grateful for the first coach that he had but regrets not knowing him better, especially after cancer took his coach away. Upon returning home, his mother felt relieved that he made the team, despite Ben not seeming too happy about it.
Notes: Ben's talent for basketball was greatly lauded during the tryouts. Again, another key "father figure" in Ben's life outside of Bull is mentioned.
On the evening of the first Friday of December, Ben asked his mom if she could get him a new gym bag before his first game. Lillian responded by telling him that he can't grant his request because she and Bull were saving up some money for their dream house— only for the two of them. Ben dropped the case and joined Lillian and his siblings in praying at the shrine.
Ben entered the locker room and was interrogated by the other players if he was coming to the dance later that evening. The coach reprimanded the players from teasing each other about the dance and dating before the game and gave them a good pep talk. Ben played the game aggressively with his family watching from the bleachers. He was the one who took the winning shot for their team. Ben went back to the locker room and took a shower. He overheard the other guys exchanging stories about their sexual conquests. He was asked about his own sexual history, to which he answered with a lie. He left the building to meet with his family to go home. As Ben opened the door to their car, Bull started giving a blow-by-blow criticism of Ben's play during the game. He was proud of what Ben did, but got pissed off when he saw his son help someone from the other team get back on their feet.
While pouring himself a drink, he was proud that he was able to pass on a lot of his good traits down to Ben, however, he felt that he failed to drive out Lillian's softness out of him. He watched his children, knowing that Lillian's softness was evident in all of them.
Notes: There is no doubt that Bull admires Ben's ability with playing basketball. However, he still can't help but criticize him for inheriting is mother's softness.	Previous Page | Table of Contents | Next Page

The Model A carried Ford into the post-Model T era with modernized styling and mechanical specification. Produced in the US between the 1927 and 1931 model years, the Model A was built in eight different body styles by the end of its cycle. In all, over 4.8 million examples of the Model A were built in nine different countries.
This lovely late-production 1931 Model A Deluxe Cabriolet was purchased in 1997 from The Old Car Company, and later became a favorite runabout of Richard Donner at his home on Orcas Island, Washington. Part of the San Juan Islands, Orcas provided Donner with the perfect environment for a prewar car such as this, offering opportunities for motoring at a relaxed pace. Donner would often explore the island with friends such as Eric Idle, Joe Walsh, and Jeff Lynn, all of whom have enjoyed the charms of this Model A.
Offered in deluxe trim and corresponding three-tone color combination of yellow, brown, and black, this Model A is in driver condition, having been restored during a prior ownership. Whether actively used as-is or treated as the basis for a refurbishment, this Model A stands as a fantastic example of one of America's most successful models.
*Please note this vehicle is titled by its body number, which is M60427031. Please also note that the chassis number was not located on the vehicle.


Good article on the financial collapse in the London Review of Books: It's Finished. Focuses on the long-term effects on the UK . I share the author's opinion that the bailouts are not exactly a cover-up, more an instinctive class reaction out of loyalty to the economic model.
"To the relevant bigshots of the financial sector – people Tim Geithner knows well from his time as head of the New York Federal Reserve – this plan represents a bold, sane, ingenious attempt to create a space for the so-called assets to return to their rightful values. To many other observers, it's not so different from dressing up in a costume and dancing in a circle praying for the intervention of the Market Gods. The plan embodies a desperate yearning for this to be a crisis of liquidity rather than one of solvency, and hopes that by acting on that belief, it will make it come true."

During the evening of Friday 16th March 2018 I began to feel extremely unwell. There were pains in my head and above my eyes just beneath my eyebrows, with white 'floaters' across my vision.
It felt as though my head was about to explode.
I was told that I needed a more detailed examination of the retina of each eye, The test revealed two new haemorrhages, one on the retina of each eye-along with a third in my left eye which was known about already and had been there for 10 years plus.
I was then referred to the ophthalmologist and received an appointment for 18th April.
Three Mile Cross Church in Reading where I am a member.
At the service I went forward for prayer for my eyes and John and Gwynneth Prayed the prayer of faith. I then had just over 3 weeks to wait for the appointment with the opthalmologist.
We had an amazing time in this morning's meeting as we were joined by John and Gwynneth Grant, plus friends from Bristol and Weston-super-Mare. and the Spirit was moving – one lady received healing even during the worship time before any other ministry had started.HALLELUJAH!!! Our Lord Jesus is so kind and loving.
Then John and Gwynneth began to minister through song and the word of God, before praying for the sick. A wonderful message on Jesus the Lamb of God and then the Lord confirmed His word through healing the sick. We will post as many testimonies as we can, but at least one knee was healed ("something moved" as John laid hands on it and all the pain has completely gone.
Jane from Reading had a lot of pain in her neck and had a problem to turn her neck. After we prayed the prayer of FAITH about 2weeks ago she said she was healed and moved her neck freely without pain.

The B2B sector is growing dynamically like no other branch of e-commerce. More and more companies are considering transferring their B2B sales to the online world. Numerous benefits, such as lowering transaction costs, simple monitoring of buyers' activities or higher transparency of the sales process, influence the decision making. At this point, we are facing the choice of a SaaS platform, an Open Source or a dedicated platform. While SaaS platforms are quickly rejected, due to the low possibility of adapting to specific B2B processes, the decision weighs up to the end between open source platforms such as Magento and dedicated software. This article will try to explain why choosing a dedicated solution is a mistake.

Flybe saved as ministers agree last-ditch £106m rescue deal
Graeme Paton, Transport Correspondent
January 14 2020, 6:00pm, The Times
Ministers have agreed to defer Flybe's outstanding £106 million air passenger duty bill while the company deals with cash flow problemsPETE BYRNE/PA
Flybe was saved today after ministers secured a rescue deal to prevent the regional airline's collapse.
Andrea Leadsom, the business secretary, said that she was "delighted" that an agreement had been reached after three days of rescue talks.
It is understood that ministers have agreed to defer Flybe's outstanding £106 million air passenger duty (APD) bill until after the winter while it tackles a major cash flow problem.
A possible government loan to the airline, which carries 8 million passengers a year and employs 2,400 people, is also possible although discussions are ongoing.
Additionally, the company's shareholders have agreed to make fresh investments in the airline, possibly injecting more than £20 million.
In the longer term the government is likely to announce that it will…
