Say It Ain't So! A TON Of Joss Whedon Stuff Is Leaving Netflix In April

Netflix just released their list of shows and movies expiring in April, and it's a doozy – we're losing a lot of our favorite content. The most noticeable overhaul? The celebrated series of Joss Whedon. That's right; Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dollhouse, and Firefly will all be departing the streaming service in April. With the exception of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Whedon's series will go missing from Netflix's catalog for the foreseeable future.
These shows have called Netflix home for a long time now, so it's a bit of a stake to the heart to see them go. Luckily, they aren't disappearing from streaming altogether. Services like Hulu, Fullscreen, Crackle, and other services are here to aid you in your time of need. Whedon is just too good to go without.
If you're wondering what's really leaving and where you can stream it, we've got you covered.
Angel: Seasons 1 – 5
This Buffy spin-off starring David Boreanaz as broody, soulful vampire Angel alongside other fan-favorite characters depicts Angel's life away from Buffy in Los Angeles and the souls he tries to save. While Sunnydale might be situated on the Hellmouth, L.A.'s got its own kind of dangerous demons. If you love Buffy, you have no excuse for not taking a bit bite out of Angel.
Where You Can Stream It Once It's Gone:
Purchase on Amazon Video
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Seasons 1 – 7
If you don't know her by now, you should. Whedon's epic series following a teenage girl with the power to protect the world from evil, kick ass, and throw out some seriously great one-liners holds up as one of the best television shows of recent memory. This fashion-loving, chatty cheerleader with the capacity to kick vampire ass cemented the show's feminist legacy and remains Whedon's best work.
Dollhouse: Season 1
Another sci-fi series from the mind of Whedon stars Eliza Dushku as an "Active"/Doll known as Echo. Actives are programmed individuals who are given temporary personalities, skills, and missions in order to accomplish whatever they have been hired for. Wealthy clients hire these seemingly unknowing beings for a series of bizarre tasks – sexual encounters, assassinations, and other illegal activities among them – and while Echo does her duty, she slowly becomes self-aware – and that is the journey we get to join her for. Unexpectedly riveting, unsettling, and complex, Dollhouse is a must-see for fans of Whedon.
Purchase on iTunes
Firefly: Season 1
Whedon's short-lived series set 500 years in the future after a universal war follows the crew aboard the Serenity spaceship who are eager to get in on the action of the new frontier. This motley crew (made up of familiar faces like Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Adam Baldwin, and Alan Tudyk) are willing to take any job, regardless of legality, to keep their ship afloat (in space). Once they begin to harbor a fugitive, however, things get complicated. While there's only one season of this exciting series, it's way too fun (and suspenseful!) to pass up.

Self-taught artist Susan Davis (Born 1948) had a career that spanned over 25 years. She's known for works that include formal oils, book and magazine illustration, detailed watercolors, murals, and pastel drawings that are highly evocative. Being self-taught means she had control over her technique and style. That's why she produced unique pieces of art. Outside of her work Susan was most proud of her murals. Over her last eight years she spent the bulk of her time creating, executing and installing historical murals and large paintings for clients in New York, Washington, and San Francisco. These were mainly privately commissioned. In June, 1998 she held an exhibition that was retrospective and was one of the most successful and eagerly received shows of its kind. Her corporate patrons included the Los Angeles Times, The Honeywell Corporation, MCI, the Toyota Corporation, Foundation for Critical Care, the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation, Suntory of Japan, the Willard Hotel, American Express, The Washington Post Company and the Wolf Trap Farm Park for the Performing Arts.
Over the course of her work, she illustrated nine children's books, including The Party and The Dinosaur Who Lived in My Backyard; both are best sellers. In 1993, she was contracted to execute the official Presidential Inauguration image which was to be used for limited edition prints to be distributed throughout the world to friends and colleagues, officials, and also as posters for the national celebration. Susan's illustrations appeared in Museum & Arts, Washingtonian magazine, New Yorker, Yankee magazine, The Washington Post, Italian Elle magazine, America Illustrated, among other books and magazines worldwide. Susan died on December 20, 1999.


Our Belgian correspondent Joline Vermeulen is in town and introduces us to some wicked songs from her beloved country.
Trixie Whitley sure is one of the most authentic multi-instrumentalists ever born and raised in Belgium. This song emphasizes her versatile nature, as she perfectly succeeds in harmonizing the rough- and tenderness of her soul voice. Such a pity she chose New York City over my hometown Ghent.
If there's one band in my country that creates a universe of its own on stage, it must be BeraadGeslagen. They usually compose transcending electrojazz, which makes "Isabellade" the closest to Flemish pop culture the two musicians will ever get.
This Absynthe Minded song never gets outdated. To me, it's uncomplicated jazz at its best. Please do me a favour and listen to the violin part carefully.
These siblings have found their own way in the Belgian and international pop and hip hop scene, but strenghten one another's energy when they join forces. With "Tout Oublier" they shed an ironic though accurate light on millennial issues and life.
"Mad About You" is one of the few Belgian songs you just couldn't dislike. It's an actual and honest masterpiece, reaching one climax after another.

The lab instructors and I work with about 180 undergraduates each semester. The undergraduates and all of the lab instructors except one are Millennials. Nicki Karimipour is second from the left and I'm standing next to her.
Every semester, I work with about 200 Millennials in undergraduate and graduate courses at the University of Florida. I also supervise teaching assistants, most of whom are Millennials. I just did the math, and that's about 5,200 Millennials I've worked with in the past 13 years.
When Nicki Karimipour, one of my teaching assistants and a Millennial herself, recommended that I read Dr. Meg Jay's "The Defining Decade: Why your twenties matter — and how to make the most of them now," I purchased the book.
Nicki, a doctoral student in the college, said she thought I'd be interested in reading Dr. Jay's discussion of Millennials. Nicki and I recently met for lunch to talk about our perspectives on the book and then extended our conversation in Google Docs. We thought you'd like to listen in on our conversation and hope you may have some comments you'd like to add. This post is the first one on our discussion of Dr. Jay's book and our own views on the Millennials.
Julie Dodd: What made you decide to read Dr. Meg Jay's "The Defining Decade" and why do you think that college students and those in their 20s would be interested in reading the book?
Nicki Karimipour: Before I knew about the book, I knew about Dr. Meg Jay (the author) from her wonderful TED Talk, "Why 30 is not the new 20." After watching the talk, I decided to purchase her book because my curiosity was sparked from watching the video. I wanted to learn more.
College students and people in their 20s would be interested in reading this book because she gives advice that is inspirational, but edgy and thought-provoking at the same time. Her anecdotes and tips are things you can incorporate into your life starting right now, which is gratifying, but she also provides tips that will benefit you in the long-run. She instills a sense of urgency in readers, while also empowering them. According to Dr. Jay, you shouldn't wait for your life to begin — your life is happening right now. Living with intention is paramount. The choices you make in your 20s will, in many cases, set the stage for the rest of your life. Your major, your decision to attend graduate or professional school, your finances, your career path or job, your health, your mate, your friendships, your decision to start a family (or not).
What has reading "The Defining Decade" taught you about the issues facing Millennials today?
Julie Dodd: As a college faculty member, I try to keep in mind what my friends, college classmates and I were like as college students. The stress of class assignments and grades. Choosing a major and deciding what to do after graduation. Making good friends. Dating. The changing relationship between college students and their parents. Those are the ongoing concerns of young people, regardless of their generation group – Millennials, GenXers or Boomers.
The discussions Jay has with her clients and shares in her book are a reminder to me that Millennials have a challenging situation with today's technology in that they sometimes are too connected to their parents.
College students and people in their 20s often are on the phone with their parents several times a day or texting them or Facebooking – or all of those.
Some of Dr. Jay's clients were involving their parents in almost every daily decision they were making – and rehearsing almost every conversation they were going to have with a boss. That's quite a difference from my college experience, which was before cellphones and social media.
As Dr. Jay explains to her clients, they need to know when to consult and confide with their parents and when they need to be more independent.
Having the ability to have regular contact between parents and adult children can be a wonderful addition to life. So the issue is balance. Adult children need to develop their own independent problem-solving skills.
Parents need to avoid becoming "helicopter parents," swooping in to try and solve any difficulty their children are having. For example, I've shared Dr. Jay's experience of having to advise a Millennial not to take her mother with her on a job interview. But that's only happened once to me.
I was interested in Dr. Jay's discussion that many Millennials are putting off making big decisions. She warns Millennials that by delaying making big decisions that they will be putting more pressure on themselves in their 30s.
We'll continue our conversation about "The Defining Decade" and how it applies to our work with Millennials in our next post.
We'd be interested in your comments about "The Defining Decade" or your own experiences as a twentysomething or someone (teacher, employer, parent) who is working with Millennials.

Indian BPM companies join IT peers in US hiring spree
EXL Services appointed a new head of US talent acquisition, poaching from a top-tier tech-focused consulting company. Ayan Pramanik | ET Bureau | Updated: November 13, 2018, 16:39 IST
Indian back office service providers such as EXL Services and Hinduja Global Solutions have stepped up hiring in the US on the back of increasing demand from healthcare and retail clients, emulating their IT peers amid growing protectionism.
Hinduja Global Solutions (HGS) has added nearly 400 Americans in the last 12 months to grow its onshore headcount in the US to about 3,000 people. "The company has been able to balance out offshore and onshore growth," Partha DeSarkar, chief executive officer at HGS, told ET.
EXL Services has appointed a new head of US talent acquisition, poaching from a top-tier tech-focused consulting company, to boost its local hiring.
"We're approaching the goal of acquiring the best talent at 3 different levels: first, we're strengthening our talent acquisition teams across all businesses. To lead that process in the U.S., we have appointed a new Head of U.S. Talent Acquisition from a top tier technology-oriented consulting company," Rohit Kapoor, Chief Executive Officer, EXL, told analysts on November 3.
In response to a mail from ET, Kapoor pointed out that "by hiring locally in the US, where EXL currently has more than 2700 people, it can serve clients across end-to-end processes, handle more complex work, such as in the areas of digital transformation, and deliver better business outcomes" .
While business process management (BPM) providers have traditionally hired local graduates and engineers to meet client demand and provide tech enabled delivery of services, the spike in such hiring can be partially attributed to growing protectionism, industry insiders and experts said.
"Political diktat and systematic crackdown on H-1B visa are two major reasons why there is increased focus on localisation," said Sanchit Vir Gogia, chief executive at IT and telecom research and advisory firm Greyhound Research. "With automation, companies are demanding more consultative approach or local selling than back office," he said.
DeSarkar said a balanced distribution of talent helps the company."The fact that we have more balanced footprint actually helps us grow the business without really attracting any undesirable attention," he said.
The US administration under President Donald Trump has beefed up its scrutiny on H-1B visa in the past couple of years, impacting IT services and BPM sectors. Companies have seen significantly higher number of requests for evidence (RFEs) from the US authorities.
"Political instability is one of the main reasons (for increased local hiring in the US)," said a senior executive at a BPM firm. "Buyers who are outsourcing services want to keep some processes onshore and offshore because they want to show the administration that they are keeping a good blend of offshore and onshore. Secondly, a lot of clients have healthcare customers and for them they want local certification to do the work," the person told ET on condition of anonymity.
A lot of US-based healthcare sector clients of BPM companies require talent with specific local certifications, another senior executive at a BPM provider said.
Indian software services exporters such as Infosys, TCS, Wipro and HCL Technologies have been ramping up hiring locally in the US as tightening of visa norms has made it difficult to deploy employees from India and other location on projects in the US. Most these firms have already localised about 60% of their workforce. Infosys had last year promised to hire 10,000 Americans in two years.

If you are dealing with anxiety, you are not alone. Anxiety and mood disorders are the most common type of mental illnesses in the United States and Canada. If you have anxiety you know what it feels like. It feels like crap! Some typical anxiety symptoms are dizziness, tension, nervous stomach, racing heart, chest tightness, muscle tightness, dry mouth, fear of dying, nausea, and on and on and on.
Our minds are incredibly powerful. The mind can create happiness and hell. It can lift you up as easily as it can bring you down. Now let me share something else with you. You are incredibly powerful! You are the master of your mind. Perhaps you have forgotten this. Sometimes I forget. My mind will easily spin out of control if I forget this. Left unchecked and untrained the mind can take over and cause chaos. No one is immune from experiencing anxiety; not even therapists.
The bright news is that anxiety is treatable. There are many ways to help you calm and manage and even alleviate anxiety. Everyone experiences anxiety differently and a treatment that works for one person may not work for another. A therapist will work with you and help you discover the methods that work best for you.
I offer a well-known exercise to help calm and balance you while you are experiencing anxiety or a panic attack. And practice, practice, practice. Use this often even when you are not experiencing anxiety. When you are in the middle of a panic attack, it is hard to remember your tools. Practicing will help you access this calming exercise and your mind and body will work together to help you ground into calm faster.
First take a deep breath. Breathe into your belly so it rises and falls at a slow even pace. If it helps, put one hand on your belly to make sure you are breathing deeply. Deep breaths send signals to the mind that everything is safe – that you are safe. Take at least 3 deep breaths – more are always okay.
Look around you and name 5 things you see. Look at each object's shape, size, color, and texture.
Look around and name 4 things you feel. Feel your feet on the ground. Feel your skin against your clothes or rub your fingers together. Press your lips together or feel your teeth with your tongue.
Look around and name 3 things you hear. Hear the clock ticking. Hear the traffic outside. Hear the birds, wind, or rain.
Look around and name 2 things you smell. Smell any nearby perfume. Smell some spices from your kitchen cabinet. Smell your hair or skin.
Look around and name 1 thing you taste. Taste in your mouth. Taste a piece of your favorite food.
This exercise can be done as many times as needed. It can also be adapted. If you can't remember the sequence of numbers, just choose a single number for all the senses.
And remember this: You are powerful!

With more than 50 years of experience, the team of Richard Lee and George W. Ofsonka III at Islander Pest Solutions has the answers to your questions regarding those always-pesky subterranean "ground" termites.
Q: Who needs to be concerned about termites?
A: Considering the damage that feasting termites can have on your home — your largest investment — all homeowners need to be concerned. Don't be the homeowner who isn't concerned about this problem until your house is being eaten because, reality is, either you already have termites or sooner or later you will have them. Subterranean "ground" termites numbering in the millions threaten the structural integrity of your home and will lead to costly repairs.
Q: Do these termites leave signs?
A: Yes. Besides seeing the flying termite swarmers, or "alates," during the spring or even late fall, ground termites create underground tunnels or above-ground mud tubes made of mud, feces or debris, which can usually be found along your exterior foundation wall, floor joists or interior walls. These mud tubes protect them from dehydration as they travel from their nest in the soil to their food source — your home.
Q: How can these termites be contained around my structure?
A: Termites can be controlled in two ways — with a termite baiting system or a "conventional" liquid treatment. Both are lethal and non-detectable by termites — controlling the ground termites through ingestion and contact — but are safe for children and pets.
Q: What is a termite baiting system?
A: Termite baiting systems take advantage of the termites' natural foraging behavior. Baited stations are placed in the soil around the structure and monitored for termite activity. Station installation requires no drilling (into the concrete that may be around your home), and is suited for homes on hillsides, homes surrounded by concrete or slate tiles, or homes located very close to water. An annually renewable service warranty comes with the termite baiting system.
Q: What is a "conventional" liquid treatment?
A: A liquid treatment involves applying a termiticide mixture by spraying directly on the soil and/or deep into the soil (where termites live) through holes drilled or trenching done along the foundation walls of your home. This creates a continuous treatment zone around the structure.
Q: When should I decide to have my house treated for subterranean "ground" termites?
A: Don't wait! You should invest in a treatment if you've noticed signs of ground termites or even if you haven't, to prevent them from infesting your home in the future. The liquid termiticide mixture has been proven to remain in the soil and be effective long-term.
Q: Why should I choose Islander Pest Solutions?
A: Although we've only been in business since March 2010, we have quickly gained the confidence of many homeowners because of our communication and education before during and after each ground termite treatment. There are many different construction types, so based on our extensive knowledge gained through the years, we develop a treatment plan specifically for your home. We use the best, most effective products and back them up with a six-year ground termite service warranty (which all homes qualify for) or a 10-year ground termite service warranty (restrictions apply).


Continuing the theme I've picked up in the past week, it only seemed right to speak in more detail of the doctrines of grace, and the ever-comforting doctrine of the Preservation of the Saints.
It seems there are a million sources I could quote to deal with this profound truth, yet the actual words of Jesus Himself trump them all. Please look at what He prays here in John 17, just moments before He was arrested, carried off, and by the next day murdered by the Jewish leaders.
This chapter is often labeled as the "High Priestly Prayer of Jesus," and such it is. This is where He goes before the Father on behalf of His people, and prays a prayer of intercession for us. If you cannot see the comfort intended here, that we cannot lose our salvation, then you must begin again in your system of doctrine. This text is a clear seat of doctrine, able to interpret less clear texts.
17 Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You, 2 even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life.
Jesus assumes that there are people "given" to Him by the Father. It is to these people that Jesus gives eternal life.
3 This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 4 I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.
Click here to compare this to John 6:37-40.
5 Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
6 "I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. 7 Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You; 8 for the words which You gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.
9 I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours;10 and all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.
This High Priestly prayer is an intercession only for those who will be saved. Jesus is praying for HIS PEOPLE, and no one else.
11 I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are.
Will the Father not answer this prayer? Will He not keep His people?
12 While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.
Judas was lost because he was not one of the people whom the Father had given Jesus, but everyone else is kept perfectly.
13 But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves. 14 I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.17 Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. 18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19 For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
20 "I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; 21 that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
22 The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; 23 I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
Will this prayer fail? God forbid.
25 "O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me;26 and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them" (John 17 NASB).
Jesus' prayers will not fail. He ever lives to make intercession for His people. Perhaps among the very clearest teachings in the Bible, the Calvinistic doctrine of the Perseverance of the Saints is the greatest comfort I have ever known.
It drives me homeward in joy.
I will be writing on the doctrines of grace as much as possible in coming days and months. This post will deal with the Perseverance of the Saints, as it is known in Reformed theology. This post is simply one facet of this glorious doctrine, I am not trying here to speak comprehensively of all the Bible says about it.
If salvation is something you can attain or earn, then it is definitely something you can lose and fall away from.
But if it is not your salvation in the first place, then it is an entirely different situation. Consider the Christian doctrine of the Preservation of the saints, seen through the eyes of an Old Testament sinner.
You will provide atonement for them.
Here we see a prophecy of the cross-work of Jesus (v. 3), a vocalization given to divine election (v. 4a), and the resultant preservation of the saints in fellowship with God (v. 4b).
Notice the "Blessed"s like in Psalm 65 above? Connect the dots of grace here. Blessed people are chosen, atoned for, transgressions forgiven, sin covered, and their iniquity is not counted (imputed) to them! God removes all of the enmity between Him and us in order to bring us to Himself.
Do you really think He would then leave the perseverance up to us after all He has done to make us His children?
God's work in saving people from the penalty of their sins is God's work. The worker in salvation gets the glory, and the preserver in salvation gets the glory. It's all of Him!
Often the question from Christians is "can I lose my salvation," or, "can those who are truly born again fall away and end up in hell?" I've asked the question, and so have you if you are a believer.
My Lutheran brothers and sisters maintain that a truly regenerated believer in Christ can lose his salvation if he stops believing in Christ.
Similarly (but not the same doctrine as the Lutherans), many Arminians of all denominations teach that a Christian can lose their salvation, but with the added pressure of having to make the decision to be born again in the first place.
For the sake of brevity, I just want to say this: the eternal covenant of God to save His elect, the atoning work of Christ to purchase those the Father had given Him, and the sealing of the Holy Spirit for the day of redemption are bonds of love and power that only one Being is strong enough to break, and you ain't Him.
I'll leave off today with the reassuring words of Jesus concerning us, His people.
I praise You, Jesus my Lord.

Mariehamn, Åland, Finland, 5/30/2022, National Geographic Explorer
Aboard the National Geographic Explorer
Today is our second day in the wonderful Åland Islands. The island archipelago is at the entrance to the Gulf of Bothnia and sits between Finland and Sweden. Although inhabitants speak Swedish, they carry Finnish passports, and the islands are officially part of Finland. Like all lands around the Baltic, these islands have been under the control of several other countries over the past several hundred years.
On our second day here, we enjoyed three morning options: a nice long nature walk, a bicycle ride across the island, or a Zodiac cruise to Kobbaklintar, a small island that is the site of the original pilot station. The station was built in 1863 to house the ship's pilots while they awaited incoming ships to help guide them through the rather dangerous channel leading to Mariehamn. The entire archipelago contains thousands of small skerries and submerged rocks, which make transiting its waters quite challenging. Without a pilot on board, it can be pretty dangerous. The area was smoothed out by the immense glaciers that covered the entire area 18,000 years ago.
On our Zodiac cruise, we transited south down the now well-marked channel. We arrived at the small island of Kobbaklintar and docked at a small pier. We met a local resident who is working to restore the pilot's house and outbuildings that were abandoned in 1972 when the pilots moved to Mariehamn. At its height, the pilots' house would have supported a chief pilot, a few senior pilots, and several junior pilots, all waiting for the many ships that visited Mariehamn every day. Today the conditions were perfect, sunny, and clear; in the winter, the site can be whipped by the Baltic winds, or totally obscured by pea soup fog. After WWII, the pilots installed spar buoys along the sides of the channel. Originally made of wood and now replaced by steel channel markers, the buoys make the channel much easier to find. When the weather turns bad, however, pilots are still used and are mandatory for occasional visitors like National Geographic Explorer. Under the guidance of one of the local preservationists, Rune, we visited the pilot house and its gigantic foghorn.
After our wonderful visit to Kobbaklintar, we returned to the ship. On our way, we took our time to observe the many interesting birds swimming along the skerries that line the channel.
We returned for lunch and then visited the Stallhagen Brewery in the afternoon, which everyone enjoyed.

Ahus, Sweden
This was the first time National Geographic Explorer has visited Ahus, a small city of 11,000 people in southern Sweden. It certainly won't be the last. This charming community is the world headquarters of Absolut, the iconic vodka brand. After a lovely Zodiac ride through the morning mist, we divided into two groups, one that toured the factory (and got a lesson in how to make a Cosmopolitan cocktail) and the other that strolled to a nearby beach where they learned about the town's historic eel fishing tradition. After a delicious lunch together at the Absolute Home, an ornate building that was once the office of Absolut's founder in the late 1800s, the groups switched places. It was a lovely visit to a picturesque community that we will "absolutely" add to our regular list of destinations. This was the last day of our expedition across the Baltic Sea, and we ended the day with the Captain's Farewell in the lounge. I was moved to recite this fitting poem by Swedish songwriter and bon vivant, Evert Taube. I think it speaks to all travelers – those who literally take to sea and those whose journey is the voyage of life: While still the boat sails along While still the heartbeat is strong While still the sun's rays on waves are a glittering throng Though you should suffer, perform each endeavor There will be rest soon for ever and ever! But that's no reason at all To not be glad and stand tall It's time to strike up a quite irresistible waltz! It's such a great stroke of luck you're alive now, my friend And can waltz through the day around Havana! And when your last money's gone, go to sea once again With the trade wind your sailor's bandanna Do your duty aright Go on land that's in sight Take a kiss maybe two in the dance's swift flight! While still the boat sails along While still the heartbeat is strong While still the sun's rays on waves are a glittering throng
Gotland and Visby
Our sixth day in Sweden was spent exploring the country's largest island, Gotland, "The Pearl of the Baltic." An unspoiled island with pine and spruce forests, hay meadows full of wildflowers, wide deserted beaches, old farmsteads, a profusion of country churches, and a capital city, Visby, with charming medieval houses and one of the best-preserved ring walls in Europe. Finding a berth after traveling 150 nautical miles from Stockholm, we immediately set off– cycling around the ramparts, visiting a sheep farm (with a few bronze age monuments thrown in), or taking a long stroll through the old town, which is what I did. Kathy, an English archaeologist who has been working on the island for the last 25 years, was our guide. Her first stop was the Gotland Historical Fornsal Museum. There are many treasures here–huge silver hoards, to begin with–but the greatest treasure is the array of decorated standing stones. For well over a millennium and a half, the Gotlanders erected skillfully carved stones decorated with symbols of renown, death, and resurrection, including dramatic scenes from the sagas of gods and monsters and entwined dragons filled with runes. A woman with a serpent-like object in her hand also seems to be involved in the event–can she be a witch? Might it be a valkyrie on the scene of the battle? The stones were probably erected both in memory and in honour of the deceased, and to foster the contemporary cults. They were not tombstones; they stood at road crossings and bridges to impress passersby. Kathy has personally been involved in the excavation of a number of skeletons, dating back to 2500 BC. This is not just a professional interest: she remembered how touched she was, removing a jar of food from the remains of a 19-year-old girl, given to her for her last journey into the underworld. The bones came alive, so to speak. The museum focuses on the heyday of Visby, when it was part of the Hanseatic League, that great medieval alliance of trading cities. It later declined due to power struggles and was eventually plundered in 1525 by its rival Hanseatic town, Lübeck. We then strolled through the utterly picturesque cobbled streets of Visby with Kathy. We passed sturdy warehouses from the 14th century, a number of ruined churches, the great German cathedral, and wooden houses covered under a freckled skin of tar. After lunch, we took another stroll to the ruins of St. Clemens Church, where the Visby Vokalensemble gave us a taste of their Försommarskonsert. About twenty singers sang a bit of Händel in perfect acapella harmony, followed by delightful Swedish and Gotland traditionals, while a bunch of upstart crows screeched along with them; it was an open air concert, after all.
Stockholm's charm was on full display on this precious sunny weekend day. The city's harbor was teeming with activity, from pleasure boats blasting techno music to dozens of intimidating military ships that assembled the day before to celebrate 500 years of the Swedish Navy. The water level of the harbor dropped a bit during the night, thanks to the departure of the massive USS Kearsage, a powerful instrument of war to send a clear message to Vladimir Putin that Sweden was off limits. Our morning began with a short Zodiac ride to the Vasa Museum, which features the carefully harvested remains of another awe-inspiring ship, the ill-fated boondoggle that keeled over and sank on its maiden voyage in 1628. The shock of watching that powerful ship sink into the dark waters of the harbor all those years ago might have been akin to seeing the USS Kearsage suddenly tip over and drag all of its mighty cargo under the water. We then hopped in the Zodiacs for a quick jaunt across the water. Kolonien, a Swedish band, met us and proceeded to entertain us with their fabulous blend of Nordic fiddle tunes, haunting acapella songs about climate change, and up-tempo romps that had our guests clapping furiously, and even inspired some to dance in the aisles. Kolonien charmed everyone with their exceptional performance, funny and moving stories, and irresistible melodies. The afternoon saw our guests splitting up, some heading off on a walking tour of the lovely Gamla Stan, or old town, which is overflowing with beautiful historic buildings and meandering cobblestone streets. Another group headed to the lovely Millesgården Museum, which highlights the work of the famous Swedish sculptor Carl Milles and his equally accomplished wife, painter Olga Granner. The group continued their artistic explorations at Fotografiska, one of the world's greatest photography museums, which features an astounding series of exhibitions of cutting-edge images. It was a magnificent day in Stockholm, leaving no doubt that it deserves its reputation as one of the world's most beautiful and creative cities.

Q: C# visual studio 2017 help!, text box input to add to an url I am working in C# VS 2017, added an image to form on click on which it goes to an url.
So not what I want to do is to add a text box next to my image so that the user can input his text in it and when the user clicks on the image he will be navigated to url+text
my code is
 private void pictureBox8_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("https://my.adobeconnect.com");
    }
}

Example when user clicks on the image, the user will be navigated to "https://my.adobeconnect.com" and now when the user add a text lets say "help" then if he clicks on the image he should be navigated to "https://my.adobeconnect.com/help"

A: Put a TextBox on your form, I call it textBox then just:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("https://my.adobeconnect.com/" + textBox.Text);

As this is a bit ugly with multiple variables I tend to use string.Format:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start
    (string.Format("https://my.adobeconnect.com/{0}", textBox.Text));

Or with C# 6.0 you can use an interpolated string:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start($"https://my.adobeconnect.com/{textBox.Text}");

Cub Scout Pack 225 Recruits At Marine Corps Base
by U.S. Marine Corps Kristen Wong - September 10, 2015
MARINE CORPS BASE HAWAII — Prospective members came to play on the water slides, munch on snacks and meet the leaders of Cub Scout Pack 225 during the pack's annual water roundup and membership drive at Riseley Field aboard Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Aug. 22, 2015.
This is the only recruitment event of the year for the pack, which consists of boys ages 7 to 10 years old and meets weekly. Because the pack is made up mostly of military children, many have left due to their parents making a permanent change of station move. In addition, others have moved on to be Boy Scouts. However, it seems recruitment went well this past weekend.
Kayden McIntyre competes in a water relay during the Cub Scouts Pack 225 annual water roundup and membership event at Riseley Field aboard Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Aug. 22, 2015. "They're a high quality unit," said Richard Galluzzi, the district executive for the Boy Scouts of America Aloha Council. "I see all the good they do for both the kids (who) are involved and also the community. It makes me happy to come here and see how it benefits the community and the base (to have a Cub Scout pack). I think it's a big asset." The cub scouts do many different activities throughout the year, learning new skills, visiting new places and eventually moving up in rank in the Boy Scouts of America. The pack, which meets weekly, has many military children as members. Volunteers from Marine Corps Base Hawaii support the pack and the scouts, which helps the overall mission of the base, to take care of the families aboard the installation.

"I'm extremely excited," said Irene Zaborowski, the pack's committee chair. "It looks like we're going to have a huge pack. We have a ton of events planned."
Zaborowski, a Fairfax, Va., native, has been involved with the pack for four years, ever since her son joined the Cub Scouts as a Tiger.
"I was seeking an extracurricular program that offered volunteer service (and instilled) good morals in kids," she said. "The scouts offered that."
Among the events, there will be an overnight campout for multiple Cub Scout packs called the Cuboree. The Cub Scouts also incorporate service projects and fundraisers into their year, such as beach cleanups, bake sales and canned food drives.
In February, the pack celebrates the organization's founding at its annual blue and gold banquet, promoting the boys who've earned their next rank. Another major event is the Pinewood Derby in March, which is held in conjunction with the annual Boy Scouts Aloha Council Makahiki event at Ala Moana Beach Park. The boys build and race their own cars at the derby.
"The most rewarding aspect for me is seeing them grow and develop life skills that they're going to carry with them for the rest of their lives (such as) good self-esteem (and) being a helpful citizen," she said.
Zaborowski commented that there are similarities between military and scout values. She said many scouts join the military, and many of the parents involved in the pack are former scouts themselves.
"These kids are resilient because (many of them) deal with deployed parents and the stresses of being a part of a military family," she said. "We're a very close group because we're used to that in the military — a group approach to raising kids."
Ashley Wilson, of Dayton, Ohio, has been involved with the pack for little more than two years. She led the Bears and Tigers dens last year, and continues to support the pack before she leaves the island this year.
Wilson's co-worker, who was a den leader, encouraged her to help volunteer with the pack. She started out as an assistant den leader, then underwent training and eventually became a den leader. She described her time with the pack as a learning experience.
"I love them like they are my own nephews," Wilson said. "It's amazing to teach them and see them grow as people ... especially because I don't have kids of my own. I've always been 'Aunty.'"
In one instance last year, Wilson remembered supervising the boys as they were earning their whittling chip. She said she was impressed by how the boys demonstrated responsible use of pocketknives, but could still enjoy themselves.
Wilson said she will miss the scouts. She said the most memorable moment during her time with the pack was watching the Cub Scouts officially reach their highest level and transition into the Boy Scouts. She said she felt a sense of accomplishment in helping them achieve their goal.
"I hope the next pack in Virginia has the camaraderie and love that this pack has," Wilson said.
Richard Galluzzi, the district executive for the Boy Scouts of America Aloha Council, calls Pack 225 a "high-quality unit."
"I see all the good they do for both the kids (who) are involved and also the community," he said. "It makes me happy to come here and see how it benefits the community and the base (to have a Cub Scout pack). I think it's a big asset."
Galluzzi does monthly visits and supports the pack. He officiated relay races at the annual water round up.
"(Cub Scouts is) a moral development program," Galluzzi said. "We're there to turn these young men into good people. There (are) not a lot of programs out there that teach the same quality of values that scouting does and I think that's why it's important that scouting is on this base."
The Honolulu native has been at his current position for little more than two years, and is a former Eagle Scout.
"(Boy Scouts) allowed me to grow into an ethical adult," Galluzzi said. "(The organization taught me the) importance of giving back to others, conducting myself and holding myself to a high moral standard (which is) very important for our society to have."
Volunteers from MCB Hawaii support the pack and the scouts, which helps the overall mission of the base, to take care of the families aboard the installation.

Weekly INT Boost – Sharing Our Stories
By Nissa Campbell · August 18th, 2017 · News
Welcome to our roundup of the best mental health and gaming stories you may have missed. This week, we have three amazing stories about gamers and game developers dealing with adversity, and we also have a look at a fascinating new tech initiative that may help us understand how PTSD develops.
An 8-Year Opiate Addiction Fueled His Love for Games. Now, He's Quitting.
"I started talking to Larry in March. He'd been searching the Internet for stories about addicted video game fans, seeking an emotional lifeline. If someone else had made it to the other side, maybe he could, too. But Larry wasn't able to find any stories, so he considered telling his own. Larry's story didn't have an ending when our first email exchange took place. That was when his supply of opiates was almost dry—two weeks left, to be exact."
If you haven't seen this story over at Waypoint, it's an absolute must-read. Patrick Klepak shares the story of one man's journey through opioid addiction, and the complicated relationship it has given him to video games — and of course, his family and loved ones.
Someone Live Streamed Themselves Sexually Harassing Me
[font_text link="" icon="star" color="dark" size="small" border="off" spin="off"]Content warning: Abusive behavior and sexual harassment.[/font_text]
"Here's the thing: I knew at once that I was being raided by a troll group, because I've had previous experience with this behaviour. As has probably any woman who's streamed. But knowing that the camera was pointing at my face and being broadcast to numerous channels I couldn't watch, engage with or prepare for, I knew I had to be incredibly careful with every single movement to ensure they didn't 'win', they didn't get the reaction they were looking for. It was paralysing."
When streamer Charleyy Hodson had her Twitch channel invaded by a harassment group, she took the story to Kotaku UK, shining a light on a huge problem in the streaming world. Not only did Hodson document her own experience — she was also able to see how her harassers targeted her and others in their Twitch channels. As a follow-up, Kotaku UK conducted an experiment to see how many harassment channels they could identify on Twitch. The results are eye-opening (and hopefully will be for Twitch, as well)
Threats, Fake Names and Philanthropy: The Untold Story of Jane Whittaker
"Andrew Whittaker coded and released over 30 titles, including Atari's biggest selling game of the '90s: Alien vs. Predator for Atari Jaguar. But eventually his true name was discovered, which shouldn't have been a problem but as [Jane] Whittaker puts it: 'There are some very extreme people in the world.' He elaborates: 'I had numerous death threats from people who found out my real name. Letters were sent to Atari saying I was a sin in the eyes of God and needed exterminating. One death threat was so extreme they had to get the FBI involved, and the guy got arrested. But he was adamant that because I'd been born a Siamese twin that it was the work of demons.'"
GamesIndustry.biz has the amazing story of developer Jane Whittaker, whose struggle to reclaim his identity in the wake of decades of harassment and discrimination has led him to create Keystone Games, a game publisher dedicating its profits to disabled and life-limited children worldwide.
Google's Health Spinoff Verily Joins the Fight Against PTSD
"Aurora's design is, without doubt, slick. When eligible people come to one of Aurora's 19 partners, caregivers will try to sign them up. People who agree will, within hours or days of the inciting event, get a baseline biologic assessment, and they'll return for more tests every month. They'll also get a Verily Study Watch, a wearable that captures data like heart rate, skin electrical conductivity, and movement."
Until recently, the volume of information required to study the origins and risk factors of disorders like PTSD have been beyond the scope of researchers — now, machine learning and wearable tech are allowing the kind of data collection that could lead to major breakthroughs, and in some cases, already has. Wired has more on Verily.
And with that, we're off. Team Take This has a busy weekend ahead, preparing for PAX West and heading toward reward fulfillment for our crowdfunding campaigns (backers, don't forget – it's time to make sure your addresses are final!). But we'll be right back here on Monday with more great stories. Until then, take care of yourselves — and each other.

The Boiler in my Apartment has been wavering between working and repair. So even if I was back in Ann Arbor yesterday, I was forced to sleep in a Hotel for warmth. The Apartment Complex agreed to cover the cost of a Hotel.
New Years Day, I packed enough clothes for a night stay at my parent's house an hour and a half ways away when driving. I ended up staying until yesterday, but my sister/roommate had to work this week so she needed to spend three nights in a Hotel. I believe she picked more expensive Hotels than she would have if she were not going to be reimbursed.
According to emails, a new Boiler has been installed in the building and despite a few air pockets in the piping, the heat should be fixed.
I did bring my computer to my parent's house, but all comfortable chairs for writing posts in were claimed once the day settled enough to give time to post. I will report that one of my year old posts, that I had forgotten completely about, was reblogged on a popular blog.
You know what? I have changed in a Year.
It is a totally different place that I am starting this New Year from and how I started the last. I have given up on waiting for a Disclosure or an RV. If these things happen, great, but I am not going to count the seconds until they arrive.
Strangely enough, as I sit here, not focusing on that particular future, it might be closer than ever.

Thurmond is an old railroad town that sits on the New River. Settlers first started arriving in Thurmond around 1844. It was HIGH traffic for trains going in and out of the state of W.Va. for trading. The actual town is now open as a museum to tourist, filled with all the old buildings maintained as well as possible. There are only 4 residence that live in the town of Thurmond today. Residence claim to see people walking at night, in old 19th century clothing as well as visions of children looking out of broken windows, and noises heard from the old train stops.
. . . a foreboding looking town.

Canadians Riot After Losing Stanley Cup

The Vancouver Canucks (hint: hockey) lost the Stanley Cup Finals on Wednesday night, falling to the Boston Bruins 4-0 in the seventh game. This is a big deal in Canada, where hockey is basically their version of American Idol. And so they've decided to riot.
This is the second time Vancouver has erupted into a most un-Canadian chaos over hockey; in 1994, the Canucks lost the Stanley Cup to the New York Rangers (also in seven games), and rioters ended up doing over $1 million in damage. (Canadian dollars, that is.) So why not do it again?
Police fired both tear gas and pepper spray in attempts to disperse angry Canucks fans, who had spent much of the day well-behaved before climbing light poles, getting into fistfights and setting fire to vehicles.
Images from a news helicopter flying above Georgia Street in downtown Vancouver showed a silver car turned over on its hood, with fans jumping up and down on its underside. Moments later, the car was set ablaze, but firefighters quickly put out the inferno.
Not far away, angry fans tried to flip over a truck, while another car was seen resting on its hood at Nelson and Granville Streets.
Apparently they're also setting jerseys on fire, as you can see to your left.

Shepherd alumna creates two deferred scholarship awards
Tina's mother, Opal D. Morris
For alumna Tina Maria Morris '83 theater was a large part of her Shepherd experience.
"I was involved in every stage production in one way or another during my time at Shepherd," said Tina. "I really loved the theater program. My love for theater and the arts is an integral part of who I am."
Now Tina has chosen to establish a named fund to benefit Shepherd students pursuing a major or minor in contemporary theater studies. A deferred gift, the Tina Maria Morris Scholarship for the Dramatic Arts was created through a bequest in her will.
While at Shepherd, Tina pursued and graduated with a Regents Bachelor of Art degree and was inducted into Alpha Psi Omega dramatics honorary, noting that theater was offered only as a minor at the time. That changed in 2017 when the university began offering a Bachelor of Arts in contemporary theater studies. Tina acknowledged that she would have majored in theater had it been available to her.
"I had always intended to take my chances in New York [as a stage actor], but I had family obligations that required me to go to work right after college. During my time at Shepherd I was involved in plays with my classmate, Eric Lamp, who was with the original cast of 'La Cage aux Folles,'" explained Tina, who is now a contractor for the U.S. Department of Defense and resides in Fredericksburg, Virginia. "With this scholarship, I would really like to help someone follow their dream right out of school."
Tina Maria Morris '83 (right, leaning against door) in Shepherd's 1983 production of Thornton Wilder's "The Matchmaker" as depicted in The Cohongoroota
Tina chose to name a second deferred scholarship in honor and memory of her mother, who served as a registered nurse during World War II. The Opal D. Morris Nursing Scholarship will benefit students enrolled in Shepherd's nursing program.
Having grown up in a small town in North Carolina, Opal Morris was recruited as a nurse trainee by St. Leo's Hospital in Greensboro, North Carolina, paying only what her family could afford in the way of tuition with the nurses offering to cover the rest.
"My grandmother scraped together $100, which was a lot of chicken-and-egg money in 1940," said Tina. "My mom was able to get a college education and went on to be a nurse during World War II and help her country. She was able to do that through the generosity of other people."
"It makes a real difference to have a profession that you can easily apply and that helps people," she continued. "I hope the Opal D. Nursing Scholarship will make a difference in the lives of the students who receive it."

Every day of our lives, we are—knowingly or unknowingly—influenced by others in many ways. We can be influenced by the will, the persuasive logic, or simply by the example of another.
One of the most amazing life skills we could attain would be to harness the power of our own influence on others. Not many people are easily fooled by attempts to "drop hints" or coerce them into the behavior we'd like to see from them. But if we could learn to use our interpersonal skills to gain desirable behavior from others, we would have a win-win situation.
To be sure, such techniques are working on you every day, even if you don't realize it. Advertising campaigns, for example, are skillfully designed to manipulate your desires and emotions. Why do you suddenly crave that particular ice cream flavor? Why must you have that brand of shoe? It's because the power of influence has been used upon you.
What if you could learn to use the power of influence to bring about results that you desire? Our program will help you to identify the methods others use to manipulate you, but what's more, it will equip you with an in-depth knowledge of how to use these same skills to your own advantage. You will increase your ability to influence others.
The goal of the program is to arm you with the skills necessary to influence others. It will help you to understand exactly how people are influenced, and will help you to develop practical methods of applying these techniques in your own work environment.
With this program you will understand the "human shortcut" and why it makes influence possible. We'll explain the six principles of influencing and how each one is used, and we'll help you identify key situations where you can apply the influencing principles in your own environment. You won't come away empty-handed, because we will show you how to follow an action plan for influencing success.
We will also explore the value of consistency. As your own life experience surely tells you, once we've made a choice or taken a stand, you can bet that we will encounter pressures to behave consistently with that commitment.
With our online program, you will learn to be a person of your word—someone who can be depended on to live consistently with his or her stated values. What's more, you will learn to be a leader who is able to influence others.

At Fasteners, Inc. in Denver, we know that choosing the right fastener for the build is a key decision. If you have a construction project, the right choice of fasteners means a successful completion of your work, so it's important to understand the type and scope of the project and role the fastener plays in it before you can determine which fasteners will work best. Once you have that nailed down, you can rely on us for an extensive inventory of fasteners. Nuts, bolts, screws and more – we've got them for prompt, accurate delivery or shipment.
Let's look at some of the types of fasteners and different kinds of projects and which ones might go together, taking into account the project, materials, durability, and design.
These have a cylindrical protrusion on top of the head. You need a rivet gun to put the rivet through holes drilled in the materials to fasten. The gun makes the tip of the rivet collapse against the back of the material. This flattens out the tip of the rivet, pulling the material together against the head of the rivet. This makes the materials squeeze together. Rivets are durable and tamper-proof. They are also inexpensive. However, rivets need pre-drilled holes and high-quality tools. Rivets are hard to remove so make sure they're what you need when choosing the right fastener for the build.
Threaded fasteners, screws are good at holding two pieces of materials together. They are driven by rotation. The screw threads grip and hold the materials and pull the two pieces tightly together. The head of the screw stops the screw when it reaches its proper depth. Screws offer a secure hold but are easily removed. They seldom become loose and there are a large variety of styles. However, it's hard to hide the screw head and it can sometimes strip. Screws sometimes rip and tear the materials.
These fasteners are like dowels but are metal. Pins are pressed into materials to hold them together. They might have holes on either end, so a clip can be placed into it to secure the pin. Pins are easy to install and remove if not pressed. They can be used as a good temporary fastener. However, pins can be hard to get a tight connection and need drilled holes, so it's an important decision when choosing the right fastener for the build.
Spiked pieces of steel, nails are driven into the wood to hold the wood or something attached to it securely in place. A hammer or are a nail gun are used to drive them in. If you are dealing with nailing into concrete, a tool with an explosive charge is used. Nails are easily installed, particularly if you have an air gun. They can be countersunk into trim materials and they are inexpensive. However, nails sometimes work loose, split materials, and if your hammer misses, the small head it can damage the materials.
This kind of fastener is U-shaped and is fired into materials to hold them together or keep them in place. You will need a spring-loaded or air-powered staple gun. Staples can be installed fast and removed easily. They can be a good temporary fastening solution and they can bridge seams. However, staples can be loosened easily. They are not load bearing and sometimes they rip through light materials.
These are wooden cylinders that are placed in drilled holes with two different pieces of material. They are tightly pressed into the drilled holes and are secured with wood glue. Dowels have strong holding ability. They are easily installed and you can't see them. However, you can't remove them. The drilled holes have to match perfectly and there needs to be time for the glue to dry.
Threaded fasteners placed in holes drilled through two or more materials are bolts. A threaded nut is placed on the threaded bolt to hold the materials together by screwing it tightly. Washers are used under the head of the bolt to add more holding power. Lock washers or locking nuts are often used to prevent the nuts from loosening or falling off. Nuts and bolts are secure and offer high load bearing. They are easily removed and come in a variety of sizes. However, they require pre-drilled holes in order to install them and you will need multiple tools to tighten them.
Of course, these are just a few of the more common fasteners. There are many other specialized fasteners that are used for specific needs. What material you are working with is key for choosing the right fastener for the build. Keep in mind that most construction projects will be using many different materials, so you will need many different types of fasteners.
Let's examine what fasteners would be recommended for certain projects. Just a reminder, choosing the right fastener must be followed by the proper use and installation.
Screws or nails are used to install roof panels. Nail guns make a roofing project go faster. You can use staples to hold down the roof tar paper. Roofing nails are best for asphalt shingles.
If there are wooden studs, nails are an option for installing drywall but most of the time you will be using drywall screws. If you have metal wall studs, then drywall screws are the only choice.

In France, a new 75% income tax on individuals earning over a million Euro ($1.2 million) per year was announced today. Incomes of $150,000 will be taxed at 40%. French business owners and citizens are scrambling to leave the country to avoid the new legislation. This has been done to offset the billions being used to bail out failing banks and reckless government spending.

As stock market volatility continued well into the third quarter, and both institutional and retail investors remained wary of equity products, the public mutual fund sector AUM fell from RMB7.05tr to RMB6.68tr (USD1.05tr) in Q3. However, this drop was not as severe as expected: rather than fleeing from the market altogether, money flowed into fixed income products, namely MMFs, allowing companies with diversified product ranges to retain AUM. This quarter, we also provide in-depth analysis of the mutual fund non-core business segment, which grew by RMB1.1tr in 3Q15, largely unaffected by market turbulence. This Z-Ben Advisors report guides readers through established and developing types of non-core business, assessing their relative risk levels. Furthermore, we delve into the booming and opaque world of online/mobile phone distribution which we believe has become a key disruptive threat to the competitive landscape of the mainland mutual fund industry, one which will become central to fund marketing over the next three years.

The Agenda 2030 - ratified in 2015 at the United Nations (UN) - is an agenda designed to transform our world. It is based on 17 Sustainable Development Goals which, as former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon explained, are a "roadmap to ending global poverty, building a life of dignity for all and leaving no one behind. It is also a clarion call to work in partnership and intensify efforts to share prosperity, empower people's livelihoods, ensure peace and heal our planet for the benefit of this and future generations."
Aotearoa/New Zealand has signed onto these goals, understanding the significance of leaving no one behind and creating a sustainable present and future. To understand how these global goals have been, and could be, worked towards in the local context, a summit series has been designed and implemented.
With two successful summits held in Wellington (2018) and Auckland (2019), the next instalment of the series is being held in Christchurch (2020-2021).

Crooked Tree makes 'Impressions' with summer exhibits

PETOSKEY — The Crooked Tree Arts Center in Petoskey will soon celebrate the openings of new summer exhibits bringing impressionistic work and other artistic images to its galleries.
The larger of the two exhibits, the "Impressions Small Works Showcase," will cover the walls of the center's main galleries with work from the American Impressionist Society.
"The society has been around for awhile and, for the past three years, have been doing exhibits like this for small pieces of work which is somewhat similar to their national show," said galleries director Liz Erlewine.
"There were over 1,000 submissions from society members and it was paired down to around 180 through the team of jurors. It's a lot of paintings."
Erlewine noted that only society members are showcased in the exhibit but that a handful of local artist were selected and have work included in the exhibit alongside many other artists spread throughout the country.
"Just looking at a small selection of this work gives you a good look at impressionism," she said. "All of the paintings differ but are consistent in the way that these artists gave attention to light, color, form and how their subject was captured with a paintbrush. There's a sort of free feeling through the work here."
The exhibit will have a soft opening for the public on Saturday, June 1 but will have a shared opening reception with the arts center's second summer exhibit on Saturday, June 8.
In conjunction with this exhibit, the arts center and the American Impressionist Society are hosting a number of workshops on June 6 and 7 with live painting demonstrations and a live "paint out" June 5-8 in the Petoskey area. The paintings created during the paint out will be for sale at the opening reception at the arts center.
The Impressions Small Works Showcase exhibition will be on display at the arts center through Saturday, Aug. 31.
The second exhibit, "Fresh Works," is taking over the lower level of the arts center with even more paintings.
Fresh Works is an exhibition showcasing new works created by the Crooked Tree Arts Center Painter's Studio with different art mediums and styles including acrylic, oil, pastel, pencil, ink and more.
"This show has over 20 artists that are in this group that meets regularly to support being active in making and painting," said Erlewine. "The show isn't juried and was open to anyone of that group to exhibit their work."
Exhibiting artists in this exhibit include Jim Abbey, Liz Armbruster, Prudence Barber, Ahlea Campbell, Ann Carolan, Mike Coltman, Kateri Ewing, Rod Gibeau, Tracey Harrington, Heidi Geiger, Mary Grosvenor, Sheryl Kendrick, Karen Kimmell, Mary MacLellan Koaches, Maria Livanos, Ann Matzka, Loretta Miles, Teri Rounds, Michele Smith, Joan Duval Tebo, Wendy Shoults, Edy Stoughton and Kay Winters.
"I think a common thread in this exhibit and through this group of paintings is a real connection to this place and environment," said Erlewine. "Each artist has their own way of showing their appreciation of where we are."
Fresh Works opened on Friday, May 24 but will have a shared opening reception with the other summer exhibit on Saturday, June 8 to celebrate all of the new works at the arts center collectively. The Fresh Works exhibit will be up in the downstairs Atrium Gallery through Saturday, July 27.
More information on either exhibit, workshops, classes or the upcoming paint out event can be found online at www.crookedtree.org or by calling (231) 347-4337.

Let your readers know about all the great pro-life resources they can find on this website.
To make sure everyone gets the pro-life facts, we have to go back to what every political organisation or campaigning charity does and deliver them to people's doorsteps.
Could you join one of our leafleting teams?
People need to read about why abortion is wrong when they open their newspapers, switch on their TV or tune into their favourite radio program.
Could you write to your local and national media?
Can you think of any other ways to spread the pro-life word? Do you have any skills or time you can offer to the pro-life cause? Whether you're a writer, designer, or just an all-round earnest pro-lifer, we want to hear from you.
