Ingram Micro Australia is celebrating hitting budget as globally the company delivered a record-breaking fourth quarter ending December 28, 2013.
It delivered record gross profit, revenue and earnings for the quarter.
The company notes in its statement around the results : "Australia achieved the company's target for non-GAAP [generally accepted accounting principles] operating profitability in the 2013 fourth quarter, improving more than $12 million from the operating loss in last year's fourth quarter."
But the Australian effort was just part of massive quarter for the distributor. Worldwide sales were an all-time record $US11.8 billion, up 4 per cent in US dollars, when compared with $US11.4 billion in the fourth quarter last year.
Worldwide gross profit was $US710 million (6 per cent of total sales), compared with $US661 million (5.81 per cent of total sales) in the 2012 fourth quarter.
Operating income was $US173 million (1.46 per cent of total sales), compared with 2012 fourth quarter operating income of $US168 million (1.48 per cent of total sales). 2013 fourth quarter net income was $US112 million, or $US0.71 per diluted share. This compares with 2012 fourth quarter net income of $US101 million, or $US0.66 per diluted share.
"The fourth quarter marked a strong close to a year where we executed well on our key strategic and financial objectives," Ingram Micro CEO, Alain Monie, said. "We successfully balanced revenue growth with margin and earnings improvement and drove solid operating leverage across the business. The end result of our focus and steady course is evident in our fourth quarter and full year results, which demonstrate excellent progress along the trajectory towards our 2015 financial targets and helped us deliver strong shareholder value for the year."
Non-GAAP operating income for the 2013 fourth quarter was $US211 million (1.78 per cent of total sales). This compares with non-GAAP operating income for the 2012 fourth quarter of $US189 million (1.66 per cent of total sales).
2013 fourth quarter non-GAAP net income was $US139 million, or $US0.88 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $US115 million, or $US0.75 per diluted share, in the 2012 fourth quarter.
Non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are financial measures that exclude the amortisation of intangible assets and charges associated with reorganisation, integration and transition costs.
For the 2013 year, these non-GAAP financial measures also exclude a benefit related to the receipt of $US29.5 million from a LCD flat panel class action settlement and the impact of a $US5.0 million reserve recorded for estimated potential charges related to indirect tax declarations in Europe.
Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share also exclude the impact of foreign exchange gains or losses related to the translation effect on Euro-based inventory purchases in Ingram Micro's pan-European entity and a net discrete tax benefit of $US28.5 million in 2012, primarily related to the write-off of the historical tax basis of the investment the company had maintained in one of its Latin American subsidiary holding companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the Supplementary Information section of this release.
The company's mobility business was accretive to 2013 fourth quarter non-GAAP earnings per diluted share by$US0.11 cents. This brings total accretion from the mobility business for the 2013 full year to $US0.35, above the company's target of $US0.34 that was initially established upon announcement of the acquisition of BrightPoint in July 2012.
Ingram Micro Mobility added new OEM distribution agreements in Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America and won new logistics contracts in all regions.
Australia achieved the company's target for non-GAAP operating profitability in the 2013 fourth quarter, improving more than $12 million from the operating loss in last year's fourth quarter.
Ingram Micro added global enterprise IT asset disposition, onsite data destruction and e-waste recycling services for large enterprise customers, retail customers and OEMs, increasing its supply chain capabilities and solutions offerings with the acquisition of CloudBlue Technologies.
The company expanded its capabilities in the e-commerce logistics market with the acquisition of Shipwire, enhancing its ability to accelerate growth in the rapidly expanding e-commerce fulfilment industry, while also better enabling Ingram Micro Logistics (IML) to meet the e-commerce needs of large retailers with significantly reduced onboarding time, cost and complexity.
Leveraging the company's existing strong presence in distribution, Ingram Micro Mobility announced that it expanded into Latin America and now offers a full suite of wireless device lifecycle services in the region.
Based on its current ability to reach an extensive network of mobile devices and accessories resellers, Ingram Micro Mobility was named a core distributor of Samsung Mobile smartphone and tablet accessory products in the United States.
Cash flow from operations for the 2013 fourth quarter was $US353 million, bringing total 2013 full year cash flow from operations to $US466 million. This compares to 2012 fourth quarter and full year cash flow from operations of $US81 million and $US46 million, respectively.
Maintaining investments in expertise and capabilities to continue to transform the company's business mix in faster growing, higher margin businesses.
As a result of the alignment and de-layering programs, the company expects annual savings between $US80 and $US100 million. One-time restructuring, integration and other reorganisation costs associated with these programs are expected to be between $US80 and $US100 million, which includes $US8 million in costs associated with implementation of initiatives that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2013.
The majority of the costs are expected to be incurred in the first half of 2014. The company anticipates the majority of the cost savings beginning to occur in the second half of 2014 and the full run rate of savings to be realiSed in 2015.
Monie said, "Our company is proactively accompanying great changes in the technology industry and evolving its business composition and structure accordingly. As we explore and execute on our various initiatives for growth and stronger profitability, the overall objective of our organisational effectiveness programs – which we have been working at developing over the past few months – is to streamline and focus our resources to run our businesses faster, smarter and better to capture the tremendous opportunities we have already started to invest in, while generating greater, sustainable shareholder value."
For the 2014 year, the company currently expects worldwide revenue to grow in the low- to mid-single-digits, in-line with overall global IT spending. The company also expects to drive solid non-GAAP operating leverage in 2014, as additional investments into the business are more than offset by continued execution, operational improvement and benefits from earlier investments, as well as the favorable impact in the second half of 2014 from the company's organisational effectiveness programs.
For the 2014 first quarter, the company currently expects a low double-digit sequential decline in worldwide revenue and a high-teen basis point sequential decline in gross margin, both in-line with recent historical seasonality.
The company also said that it is continuing its organic investments, which also now include investments into recently acquired businesses to leverage Ingram Micro's global reach. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the 2014 first quarter are expected to be 158.5 million.

Notae et Animadversiones in Epictetum et Simplicium [TOGETHER WITH] Johanne Elichmanno. Tabula Cebetis Graece, Arabice, Latine. Item [and] Aurea Carmina Pythagorae, Cum paraphrasi Arabica
by [Epictetus, Arrian and] Simplicius of Cilicia
Trillium Antiquarian Books
Four works bound as one (Simplicius' Commentary on Epictetus' Enchiridion, or compilation of practical precepts; Claude Saumaise, Commentary on Epictetus and Simplicius; parallel Greek, Latin, and Arabic texts arranged by Johan Elichman of the Tabula of Cebes (Anon.) together with the Aurea Carmina of Pythagorus). Lugduni Batavorum [Leiden]: Johannis Maire, 1640 ([xviii], 332, index; 329, indices; [xxxii], 88; 15). Quarto (20 cm.) in modern calf, titles to spine, five raised bands; new endpapers, headbands. Epictetus (c. 55- 135) was the Stoic philosopher and teacher concerned with questions of ethics (as in, how to live one's life), and the Enchiridion, a collection of his teachings and sayings, was compiled and preserved by his student Arrian. Simplicius of Cilicia (c. 490- 560), said to be one of the last neo-Platonists, also wrote commentaries on Aristotle. Claude Saumaise (1588- 1653) was professor at Leiden and something of an academic controversialist for hire, as witness his duel with Milton over the rights of monarchs (and Charles II in particular). He evidently never was at a loss for words (in any of several languages) and as another description, citing Brunet, notes much given to 'commentaire prolixe'. An attractive copy bound in suitably plain seventeenth century fashion, a few period ms. notes in Greek.

This book has been sitting on my shelf for about three or four years. I had expected it to be rather trite and boring fluff. I was glad to have been proven wrong.
Every person has the desire to know that they are fulfilling their purpose in life; The Call, as the subtitle suggests, is about finding and fulfilling that central purpose. 'Calling' – in the context used by Guinness – is the specific purpose for which we were created: "calling is the truth that God calls us to himself so decisively that everything we are, everything we do, and everything we have is invested with a special devotion and dynamism lived out as a response to his summons and service" (p4). It is in this calling, this purpose, that we find our identities.
Once the foundational idea of calling and its importance is laid Guinness proceeds to unpack the various aspects of calling: our primary calling is as followers of Christ, our secondary calling is to live, think, speak, and act for God as our sovereign. It is this secondary calling which – according to Guinness – comprises our specific 'vocation' (a teacher, lawyer, construction worker, etc), what Guinness calls "our personal answer to God's address" (p31).
When viewed through this lens our calling gives us meaning, meaning which mere work or a mere job cannot. Despite referring to lines of work as 'secondary callings', Guinness pushes back against equating work with vocation, noting that "slowly such words as work, trade, employment, and occupation came to be used interchangeably with calling and vocation… The original demand that each Christian should have a calling was boiled down to the demand that each citizen should have a job" (p40). Guinness chief issue seems to be that secondary callings took center stage over the primary calling [to follow Christ]. He thereby seeks to counter the Protestant distortion of making the secondary calling primary and the Catholic distortion of confining calling only to the clergy.
In this way we are to discern our specific secondary callings based upon our respective gifts, all the while remembering that these gifts were given to us for the purpose of serving others. Not all will be able to make these two align – our gifts and our work – for as Guinness points out, "to find work now that perfectly fits our calling is not a right, but a blessing" (p51). This he largely attributes to the Fall.
Even still, Guinness again reinforces that we cannot intertwine our vocation so closely with our occupation that losing the occupation means losing the vocation; we can retire from jobs, but not from our calling, we can be unemployed but not uncalled and our careers cannot sustain our significance (p244).
With the notion of callings laid out and advice given on discerning them, Guinness proceeds to offer various angles of insight into how to live our lives in light of this: listening to God, living our lives with him as our audience, that our calling is a basis for responsibility and ethics, that we are not merely summoned individually but corporately, that we must avoid the temptation toward conceit and envy, toward commodification and putting a price tag on everything, that calling serves as an antidote toward sloth, that it flattens the distinctions between the sacred and the secular, between the public and the private, between privatization and politicization, and that it charges even the most menial tasks with the splendor of the ordinary.
All in all, this is a thoroughly enjoyable read and a fairly good introduction to a more biblical notion of calling and vocation, one which avoids both the error of identifying calling with clergy and that of equating calling with occupation.
The text is inspiring and pleasant to read, if for no other reason than that Guinness loves to quote Chesterton, and more Chesterton is always a good thing.
While I did thoroughly enjoy this book, it is not perfect.
My biggest issue with Guinness' work is a waffling in the way he employs his ideas and his terminology. In this case, while Guinness makes a distinction between the primary call (to salvation and following Christ) and secondary call (toward serving God and one another in particular ways), I find that Guinness tends lack consistency in the way he describes this secondary calling.
Thus on the one hand towards the beginning of the book Guinness describes this secondary calling being "called to homemaking or to the practice of law or to art history" (p31) and uses our gifting as a means of discerning this calling (pointing out that we all might not be able to get a job that lines up with our calling). This implies that our secondary calling is a specific thing that we do. Yet on the other hand, Guinness pushes back against an identification of calling and occupation in reference to the 'Protestant distortion', and again at the end of the book pointing out how our vocation cannot be too intertwined with our occupation such that "calling should not only precede career but outlast it too" (p243).
That we shouldn't confuse primary and secondary calling is straightforward enough, but Guinness also seems to be both advocating for and objecting to the notion of secondary calling being identified with occupation. He states that our secondary calling is the specific occupation we are called to do, but then also states that we shouldn't identify it with our occupation. Perhaps this could be remedied by an appeal to the idea that we can have multiple or successive secondary callings, but that's not what he says.
With this contradiction in his thought the question might be asked why Guinness bothers with specific secondary callings at all. As he himself points out, "[T]here is not a single instance in the New Testament of God's special call to anyone into a paid occupation or into the role of a religious professional" (p50).
Unfortunately Guinness never follows through with this thought. If the New Testament never uses the term that way, then why use the word that way?!
In my opinion, it would be more consistent to identify our primary calling as the call to salvation in following Christ – as Guinness does – and to identify our secondary calling as doing everything we do for the glory of God and in service to him (with emphatically no specifics to it). This secondary calling emphatically cannot be identified with any one thing. It is not something we discern based on our gifts, it is not anything specific at all.
It would be more consistent to identify our secondary calling as expressing itself in whatever we do without the need to appeal to anything specific.
This is why both the Protestant distortion and Catholic distortion are wrong. The Catholic distortion is wrong because it defines vocation as something specific that is done and then limits that specific thing to the ministry of the clergy. The Protestant distortion is wrong not merely because it prioritizes secondary calling over primary calling, but because it keeps the specificity at all.
The reason vocation can't be confined to the clergy is because vocation is expressed in whatever you do, without qualification. It doesn't matter what you do, if you're doing it to the glory of God and in service to him and others, then you're fulfilling your vocation. This is why vocation outlives any career, because as long as you're still doing things, any things, then you are still living out your vocation. Occupation, then, is merely one expression of vocation, one area where we live out our calling.
This, then, is my primary issue with Guinness' idea of calling; namely, that he waffles with his ideas such as to produce contradictions and ambiguity, and that he vaguely limits vocation to something that we do rather than how we do anything and everything.
For a more biblical approach to calling, check out Kevin DeYoung's book Just Do Something.

LA based artist Zeal Harris has some very interesting series in the works, the most exciting of all is a graphic novel she recently started!
When we humans experience aesthetic pleasure, we experience joy, and joy is the ecstasy of living. When humans do an activity that creates aesthetic pleasure, I understand this process and its outcomes to be art. My art is making painting, cooking, growing plants, nurturing relationships, and exchanging jokes and stories with people that I adore. This artistic statement begins in an autobiographical and self-ethnographical kind of way. I find it extremely difficult to separate my life from my art. In fact, as evidenced by my paintings, my life is my art.
The series below is titled "Nice Legs"

"The cradle of Western Civilization, whose legacy echoes down the ages, and plays host to a vast number of iconic cultural sites. An eclectic blend of ancient and modern, Athens is fascinating, exciting and unique."
An eclectic blend of ancient and modern, Athens is a place that needs no introduction, being the birthplace of democracy, philosophy and theatre. It is not known as the cradle of Western Civilization without reason, making it the ideal holiday destination for anyone with an interest in history. Visitors can walk the same streets that iconic figures like Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Pericles walked; see the many beautiful monuments and pieces of art, which have played such a crucial role in Western culture. Athens is also vibrant, modern and fun, with an exciting night scene, plenty of family activities and great shopping experiences. The chance to visit the Acropolis during the day is an experience that everyone should venture out to on their city break.
The capital of Greece and its largest city, it has a population of around three-and-a-half million. Located on a large peninsula, it is surrounded by a number of mountains, including Mt Egaleo to the west, Mt Parnes to the north, Mt Pentelikon to the northeast and Mt Hymettus to the east, all of which play an essential role in Greek mythology. It is situated on the southern coast of Greece and is surrounded by the Aegean Sea. It has a hilly topography, best defined by the famous Acropolis, which sits in the very centre of the city.
With its hot, dry climate for most of the year, the best time to visit is between the first week of May, and the end of June, when temperatures range between 21 degrees and 28 degrees and the weather is pleasant without being scorching hot. Athenian weather can be very hot during August, reaching highs of 38 degrees, meaning that some tourist spots, located high up on hills may be difficult for older or younger people to reach. The weather becomes cooler again in September, October and November, which are also good times to visit.
Its history is rich and potent. For more than 3,000 years there has been a settlement on the Acropolis, with Greek mythology claiming that it was formed after a competition between Athena and Poseidon, over who would become the patron of the city. The eventual winner, Athena, offered the inhabitants an olive tree, and since ancient times a tree has grown on that spot. The city itself is most famous for the democratic reforms that took place during the 6th century BC, when Cleisthenes, a local aristocrat offered the citizens democratic rights, and they cast out the Spartan-supported dictator. This foreshadowed the most successful period in the city state's history when they stood up to the power of the mighty Persian empire. The first moment in the Greco-Persian war was the battle of Marathon, where the Athenians defeated the Persian hordes on a beach close to Athens, and one heroic citizen ran the first marathon to Sparta to get help, perishing upon completing it. This led to the battle of Salamis 11 years later, when the heroic Themistocles, persuaded the Athenians to abandon the city and evacuate to the nearby island of Salamis, from where they defeated the entire Persian navy, thus saving Greece from conquest. Later Athens was defeated in the Peloponnesian wars, against their great rivals for Greek hegemony, the Spartans. It is a place famed for its many famous sons including Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Thoucydides, Pericles, and Themistocles to name but a few. Suffice to say, anyone even vaguely interested in history, art, philosophy, science or politics, simply must visit Athens once in their lives.
Its food culture is rich and varied, featuring a number of local classics, including Briam, a vegetarian dish, which involves roasting a load of vegetables together; tomatokeftedes, an appetizer made up of spicy fried tomato balls; retsina, a traditional liquor produced in the region; along with many other Greek staples, like kebabs, salads and delicious wines. Athens is also an international city and you will find a wide variety of restaurants serving cuisines from around the world.
The Allou Fun Park, a theme park with a wide variety of games and incredible experiences, is a great way to entertain the younger members of the family in Athens. The Cultural Park in Mesogeia, a large area, includes art workshops, and is a place where you can learn about Greek culture and folklore. The Museum of School Life and education, also includes a load of exhibits about how education has progressed throughout the ages and The Children's Museum in Plaka, is both educational and a fun experience, where children develop their observation skills. Athens is a city that will both entertain and educate children on their family holiday.
A spectacular city, Athens has a plethora of fascinating cultural events throughout the year, including The Athens Epidaurus Festival, which runs from June to August and holds a variety of musical, theatrical and dance events, in the many open air theatres that populate the city; the Rockwave music festival, in June, which is a three day homage to contemporary Greek music; and the full moon festival, which is held in late August and celebrates the moon's most prominent and brightest period, with a plethora of events, including music, dance and food.
There are many companies that provide exciting and educational walking tours around Athens' most famous monuments, ideal for people who want to get to know the city and skip those frustrating queues. Visitors, who want an experience where they are in control, should head to the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum; the ruins of the Agora (the ancient marketplace); the Temple of Hephaestus; and the Temple of Zeus. There is also a great selection of things to do slightly further outside the city, like visiting the place where the battle of Marathon happened.
A cosmopolitan city known for its social scene, it has something for everyone, including bars/clubs playing internationally renowned tracks; cosy venues offering great local music, both contemporary and classic; trendy bars, featuring long cocktail menus; chilled-out pubs with a relaxed atmosphere; as well as gourmet restaurants with Micheline star menus and friendly tavernas, where you can enjoy a refreshing drink.

I had a wonderful experience with Genesis. The team in Pune was amazing, co-operative and helpful. They even offered help and assistance to me beyond classroom which were not strictly a part of my package, which is a rarity in this age. The teaching staff was very co-operative. A great experience.

Baldessari, Luciano
Libero Andreotti
(b Rovereto, Dec 10, 1896; d Milan, Sept 26, 1982).
Italian architect, stage designer and painter . After studying at the Scuola Reale Elisabettiana, an applied arts school in Rovereto, he joined the Futurist movement, headed locally by Fortunato Depero. After serving in World War I, he enrolled at the Scuola Superiore di Architettura del Politecnico, Milan, graduating in architecture in 1922. He then spent four years (1922–6) in Berlin working as a stage designer and frequenting the avant-garde milieu around Max Reinhardt, Erwin Piscator and Oskar Kokoschka. He returned to Italy in 1926 and set up his own practice. His first important commission, the remodelling of the Bar Craja (1930; with Figini and Pollini) in Milan, with its handsome glass and steel interior, established Baldessari's reputation as an innovative designer. He collaborated again with Figini and Pollini on the De Angeli-Frua office building (1931–2) in Milan, a fine example of Italian Rationalism at its most restrained. Baldessari's architectural masterpiece of this period was, however, the Press Pavilion (...

Painter (gouache), watercolourist, draughtsman, illustrator, stylist. Figures, portraits, landscapes. Stage costumes and sets.

Feuerstein, Bedřich
Radomíra Sedláková
(b Dobrovice, Jan 15, 1892; d Prague, May 10, 1936).
Czech architect, painter and stage designer. He graduated in architecture (1917) from the Technical University, Prague, and in 1921 he received a scholarship to the Ecole du Louvre in Paris. In 1922 he became a member of Devětsil, the group of avant-garde writers, artists and architects centred on the figure of Karel Teige. He also joined the Architects' Club. His early work was influenced by Cubism and classicism, but his most significant building was the crematorium (1921–3; with Bohumil Sláma) at Nymburk, a fundamental work of Czech architectural Purism composed of dramatic white cylinders and slabs, with a row of massive columns and ceremonial steps along the main façade. All his designs were strictly tectonic; he aimed for the creation of a new style inspired by the Neo-classical Empire style. During the first half of the 1920s he also worked as a stage designer in Prague, creating a range of designs in the spirit of poetic Purism; examples include sets for the National Theatre (...

Klein, César
(b Hamburg, Sept 14, 1876; d Pansdorf, nr Lübeck, May 13, 1954).
German painter, printmaker, poster and stage designer. He attended the Kunstgewerbeschule in Hamburg (c. 1894), and art academies in Düsseldorf and Berlin (c. 1897). In the first decades of the 20th century he exhibited with the New Secessionists. He drew and painted still-lifes and figures in landscapes and interiors in a strongly Expressionist style, which revealed his admiration for Cubism and for the work of Ferdinand Hodler. He was an assiduous worker; besides paintings, woodcuts and lithographs, he designed stained-glass windows, mosaics (e.g. Kaiser Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche, Berlin), murals and painted ceilings. He also decorated the interiors of a number of Berlin theatres, as well as the Marmorhaus cinema (1913). Klein and Gerhard Marcks joined Gropius to organize the 1914 Deutscher Werkbund exhibition in Cologne.
In the post-World War I ferment of cultural and political activity, Klein, with Max Pechstein and others, founded the Novembergruppe in Berlin in ...

Nigerian painter, sculptor, architect, and set designer. Nwoko's works of art and architecture have been understood as exhibiting the tensions between modernism and indigenous design. Nwoko's own published discussions of the political history of Nigeria and his recommendations for improvements in education, medicine, environmental conservation, and mechanical engineering have inspired art histories that describe him as not only an artist–architect but as an advocate for social reform.
Nwoko was one of the first of his generation of contemporary Nigerian artists to study fine arts at the Nigerian College of Arts, Science and Technology, Zaria (1957–61). During his time as a student in Nigeria, Nwoko (along with classmate Uche Okeke) designed the Pavilion of Arts and Crafts, Lagos, in celebration of Nigerian Independence (1960). After his graduation, Nwoko won a scholarship from the Congress for Cultural Freedom to study scenic design at the Centre Français du Théâtre. Nwoko continued his studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, choosing to add the disciplines of fresco painting and architectural decoration to his educational programme....
Suisse, Gaston
Born 1 December 1896, in Paris; died 7 March 1988, in Paris.
Pastellist, painter (including gouache/mixed media), draughtsman, designer. Animals. Designs for stained glass, stage costumes and sets.
In 1913, Gaston Suisse studied at the school of decorative arts in Paris, where he learned the craft of lacquering. In 1920, he was taught by Paul Renouard, David, Albert d'Ys and Kruber. He was a friend of the decorative artist Dunand and of Jouve, Trémont, Sandoz, Petersen and Guyot, with whom he participated in all the major salons. He was awarded the Puvis de Chavannes prize in 1936. He executed decorative works for the Alhambra of Algiers in 1925, for the Galeries Lafayette's Pavillon de la Maîtrise and for the reception hall of the Conseil Municipal de Paris. He designed theatrical sets for the Paris Opéra and costumes for the Comédie-Française. He also produced fabric designs for Madame Duchesne, cartoons for stained glass windows for Grubber and a number of lacquered decorative panels for such celebrated individuals as Jansen, Straub, Ruhlmann and Boyer. He also produced many pencil, charcoal and pastel life drawings of animals which show a great understanding of animals and which he then executed in lacquer....
Suta, Romans
Mark Allen Svede
(b nr Cēsis, April 28, 1896; d Tbilisi, Georgia, July 14, 1944).
Latvian painter, printmaker, ceramicist, interior designer, tage and film set designer and theorist. He was the foremost ideologue for modernism in Latvia and was one of its greatest innovators. His militant defence of avant-garde principles befitted his experience as a soldier and as one of the artists who, after World War I, was denied a studio by the city officials and staged an armed occupation of the former premises of the Riga Art School. At the end of the war he painted in an Expressionist manner: In Church (1917; Riga, priv. col., see Suta, 1975, p. 19), for example, is an exaltation of Gothic form and primitivist rendering. Unlike his peers Jāzeps Grosvalds and Jēkabs Kazaks, he was extremely interested in Cubism and Constructivism, the theories of which informed his paintings, drawings, prints and occasional architectural projects of the 1920s. At this time he and his wife, the painter ...


The centenary of Czechoslovakia's foundation will culminate with a number of public events, exhibitions, concerts, a military parade and a firework in Prague at the weekend of October 27-28, organisers told journalists today.
Fireworks on Letna will begin symbolically at 19:18. Prague bridges - most Legií, Čechův most, Mánesův most, Charles Bridge or embankments - Smetanovo nábřeží, Dvořákovo nábřeží are the best for watching, as well as Petřín hill and Letná itself. Outside the center a popular place is the hillside in Rieger's Orchards or the hill in Vítkov.
On October 28th there will be the official re-opening of the National Museum with video-mapping on the façade of the building. There will be all-day concerts taking place simultaneously on several stages in Prague. Another big focus of interest will be in Evropská street and Dejvická street where people will be able to see a military parade, there will be a stage on Náměstí republiky with festivities organized by the Czech Tourists Club, a pop music concert on Old Town Square featuring Czech and Slovak musicians and there will also be a stage on Wenceslas Square where there will be a video-mapping.


I often interrupt working on the computer with a quick game of Solitaire. Mindlessly moving cards has a mind clearing effect and actually helps me focus on what I'm doing, or at least, that's what I tell myself. The last game did get me thinking about what programs I simply couldn't live without, not counting Solitaire of course. I discounted school, or work, related applications like email, grade book, Office, or a web browser as 'must have' survival type software. With a cup of coffee, and another quick game, I concluded that there were, at minimum, two apps the loss of which would truly muddle the way I work.
Evernote and Dropbox are two free web apps that allow me to collect, save, share, and later organize any matter of thoughts, notes, web pages, pictures, or anything really, from any computer or smart phone. I recommend both as a much better way to not 'loose a bookmark', forget a good idea, or wonder where you put that neat photo.
So what are your 'can't live without' applications? How do you work on the computer, and what do you use to make life easier? Sounds like a good self-reflection type question to me.
My daughter recently visited with her newly purchased 'Nook' tablet, plus a new Kindle 'Fire' she won at a charity raffle. I don't have either one but now she has both. There must be something wrong with that. The only good part was it gave me an opportunity to compare both side-by-side and decide which was right for me.
Both the Nook and the Fire share the same processor, same as the iPad 2, so not surprisingly the performance of both seemed much the same. The Nook trumped the Fire with double the memory and storage capacity. For me, that was impressive. For visual and in-your-hand appeal the Fire took honors. The glossy black won my heart. Barnes and Noble have in-store sales and service, which is something Amazon cannot match. Amazon has a staggering array of services, cloud storage, and app store, which is something the Nook cannot match, at least yet.
My verdict; a very close call. While the Nook's hardware was appealing to a gadget geek like me, I think I'll stick with Amazon's services and go with the Fire.
Anyone have other thoughts or observations? How do you use, or see yourself using, an e-reader device?
Another of our Kindergarten teachers has shared a new, and innovative, class management site called "Class DOJO". ClassDojo enables the teacher to easily award and record points, achievements and rewards for behavior and performance in class in real-time, with just one click of your smartphone or laptop. ClassDojo provides instant visual notifications for your students ('Well done Cindy-Lou Who! +1 for teamwork!') with a whole host of game mechanics: think level-ups, badges and achievements to unlock, in-classroom games, avatars and leaderboards. We will be looking forward to future reports.
ClassDojo will be free for teachers who are part of the beta test group. There are a limited number of places available in this group, so sign up early and be a part of it!
One of our kindergarten teachers recently shared with the staff a quick, easy, and free web site for graph making called Kids' Zone . The site is indeed an excellent resource to engage a math class needing a bit of tutoring on graphs and the information they can communicate. But the site has far deeper resources than just Kid's Zone. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) is the primary federal entity for collecting and analyzing data related to education. The nations report card in reading and math are only two of the latest subjects. Need some information on the state of American Public Education? This is the place I would start.
I stumbeled on this site when we first started the IPS Wiki. The site has multiple ideas on how to use a Wiki in the classroom. All are practical and readily doable. A 'must read' for any teacher looking for an idea to engage their students. But Wikis are not the only covered topic. Rubrics, free audio books, resources for graphic organizers, or vocabulary development all have excellent coverage. The list goes on and on. Check it out, you will be glad you did!
One of our teachers recently acquired a digital camera, and asked for some ideas for its use to engage her students. She wanted her students to use the camera to illustrate creative writing stories, but simply putting pictures in a word document, or printing them out, seemed "old fashioned". I suggested an often overlooked free application called Photo Story 3 for Windows. Photo Story creates slideshows with your digital photos. Stunning special effects can be added, titles, captions, soundtracks, or even the students own narration can be added. Small file sizes make it easy to send your photo stories in an e-mail, watch on a computer, smart phone, or embedded in a Wiki or web page. Photo Story has a table top flat learning curve that anyone can master. Easy, polished, and with certain student engagement, it's a classroom "do-able".


Solar education programs have existed for more than three decades. Three of the earliest and most notable programs were developed by ARCO Solar (a PV module manufacturer), the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC, a university-based research, testing and education institution), and Solar Energy International (SEI, a private training organization).
These organizations independently developed education and training programs based on their assessment of constituent needs. The primary target audience for all three was the solar industry. However, the duration of training, technical content, and focus on specific solar occupations varied.
In 2002, the first national job task analysis (JTA) was prepared by industry experts and professionals for photovoltaic (PV) system installers. Originally, this JTA was to be a framework for a national certification examination. However, it has also been used as a guide for the development of PV installer curricula and programs. The North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners' (NABCEP) PV System Installer JTA has been updated several times since 2002. Other NABCEP JTAs have been produced for jobs in solar thermal, PV technical sales, and small wind.
This paper gives a brief overview of the curriculum development process—with special attention to DACUM (Developing A CurriculUM) methodology and JTA. We have used the terms curriculum and program interchangeably because we are discussing the process of development rather than a specific set of courses that might constitute a particular curriculum or program.
Typically, an instructional program is a set of structured learning experiences used to teach a particular subject that is offered by an educational institution or recognized educational provider. It can, but does not have to, lead to a formal degree or formal award such as a certification. A curriculum is a set of courses or a plan for a particular area of study that may or may not be linked to a particular provider and may or may not lead to a formal award. The process of course development is addressed in a separate section.


The Annual Local Government NSW Conference was held in Albury earlier this week. Deputy Mayor Glen Neill, General Manager Derek Francis and Councillors Graham Jackson and Tony Elias joined Councillors from all over the State to debate about 100 motions, and hear the Premier and State and Federal Local Government Ministers address the Conference. Most of the motions dealt with Councils seeking a better deal from State Government on Drought Policy, Transport, Health, Planning, Financial Assistance and winding back regulation. With a close State Election coming in March next year, hopefully a better situation for Councils and the communities they represent will eventuate.
Our thoughts and best wishes go with the Year 12 students from the Nyngan High School as they sit their HSC exams this week. We hope their results will open the path into whatever career they hope to embark on. No doubt the eight students who are heading to China to visit No.15 Middle School in Tongling City later this year are flat out fund raising for their trip. I am sure our community will give them a helping hand as this trip will have lifelong memories for them all.
It is good to know we will have a Rural Counsellor back in the Nyngan office this week. Former Counsellor Victoria Boag has been reappointed by the Central West Board and has a big responsibility in front of her after with the local office being closed for two months. Her previous experience and understanding of current rural issues will ensure clients receive the best assistance.
Council has approached the State and Federal Health Ministers with support from local Doctor Peter Hanley to try and have the Q Fever Vaccine and test substantiality reduced cost wise and become part of the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. Drought conditions make the spread of this virus more likely and with four cases already reported at our Medical Centre, vaccination is recommended.
Council at its monthly meeting tomorrow will consider a report on the Palais Theatre. Three options are up for consideration in the report, being Demolition of the Palais Theatre, Renovation or Reconstruction. Councillors met with Architect Charles de Beer at an informal workshop on October 8 and indicated an initial preference for reconstructing the Theatre. The cost of reconstruction would be considerably less than renovating, as the cost of repairs of all timber material would be unknown until fully dismantled. Hopefully many community members have indicated their views to prior to the meeting, with the report for consideration available in the Business Paper.

CS-Script is a free and open-source scripting platform that enables creating scripts in ECMA-compliant C# syntax. These scripts have access to .NET Framework or Mono APIs. CS-Script offers standalone script execution as well as hosting the script engine from CLR apps. A newer edition of this product, called CS-Script.Core works with .NET.

Existing .NET development tools (e.g. Visual Studio and Sharp Develop) can be used, allowing editing and debugging scripts within traditional .NET-aware development environments. Additionally, CS-Script support can be added to Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code via plugins.

FlashDevelop uses CS-Script as its internal scripting engine.

Benefits

Simple deployment approach
Just bring both the script and engine file (about 100 KB) onto the system that has .NET runtime installed and the script can be run.

Portability
Scripts can be run on any system that has CLR installed (including Mono).

Base language is a full featured C#
CS-Script is a truly object-oriented language that supports VB.NET, C++/CLI and J#. All .NET functionality is available (including FCL, COM Interop, Remoting, WPF, WCF). Easily available debugger and rich IDE (Visual Studio or third-party IDEs). Execution model within the script is the same as for any .NET application: static void Main().

Optimized interpretation
Interpretation of any statement in the script is done only once even if the statement is frequently used throughout the code.

Strongly typed
Strong typing is a luxury not available for the most of the scripting languages. All software development tasks can be done in the same language. GUI development for script application becomes easy.

Extensibility
Scripting system can be extended by using new assemblies written in any .NET languages or COM components. Any script can be easily converted into an application and vice versa. Functionality of any CLR application can be extended with scripting.

Script hosting
Can be run within WSH and can be mixed in one WSF file.

Mazzy Star – amerykański zespół rocka alternatywnego i dream popu, założony w Santa Monica w 1988 roku.

Historia
Grupa powstała z przekształcenia działającego od połowy lat 80. zespołu nurtu Paisley Underground Opal (nazwanego początkowo Clay Allison), w którym grał David Roback i do którego dołączyła folkowa wokalistka Hope Sandoval. Jedynie ta dwójka stanowiła stały trzon zespołu, współpracownicy zmieniali się stosunkowo często. Grupa prezentowała psychodeliczną odmianę rocka alternatywnego, czerpiąc z folku, dream popu i shoegazingu. Pierwsza płyta grupy została wydana w 1990 przez Rough Trade Records, kolejne wyszły nakładem Capitol Records. Największą popularność grupie przyniósł singiel Fade Into You z 1994 roku, który dotarł do 44. miejsca listy Billboard Hot 100 i 48. na UK Singles Chart. Zespół rozwiązał się w roku 1997, po czym reaktywował się jeszcze dwukrotnie, wydając ostatnią z płyt, Seasons of Your Day, w roku 2013 i wyruszając na trasę koncertową w 2012. Po raz kolejny zespół zawiesił działalność w roku 2014.

14 maja 2017 zmarł Keith Mitchell, grający na perkusji na wszystkich płytach zespołu.

Bridging the Gap: New Augusta organization unites clothing bank, essentials pantry and warming center
With the group's current location at St. Mark's for sale, the organization serving the needy must soon find a new home.
By Keith EdwardsKennebec Journal

AUGUSTA — Time is running out for the Augusta Community Warming Center, Addie's Attic clothing bank and Everyday Basics Essentials Pantry to find a new home.
As temperatures drop, the group is still offering in-demand services for the needy even as their existing location is listed for sale.
Augusta Food Bank could open at new location by November to meet growing demand
Augusta Community Warming Center provides shelter from bitter cold
Prominent Augusta church property, home to food bank, up for sale
A new organization, Bridging the Gap, is bringing all three of the charitable service-providing entities together as one, and hopes to find a new location they can all make home.
And with pressure being applied by city officials who say those services cannot continue to be provided in the long-term at the former St. Mark's parish hall between Pleasant and Summer streets, the group hopes to find a new location by December, in time for the warming center to open for the season.
"Remaining here is not an option," said Betty Balderston, a member of Bridging the Gap's leadership team and president of the Prince of Peace Council. "There is not enough space here and the need for the services and support we provide continues to grow, so we need a better location."
Bridging the Gap is a program of Emmanuel Lutheran Episcopal church, formerly known as the Church at 209 and made up of the former congregations of St. Mark's Episcopal Church and Prince of Peace Lutheran Church. The church previously oversaw both Addie's Attic clothing bank which gives out free clothes several days a month and Everyday Basics Essentials Pantry, which gives out free toiletries and other essential items twice a month.
Those two outfits worked out of the St. Mark's parish hall, which is on the west side of Augusta between a large residential neighborhood and the Lithgow Public Library.
The Augusta Community Warming Center, begun several years ago through the United Way of Kennebec Valley, is also located at the parish hall. Until now, the warming center was overseen by the United Way. Earlier this year, though, United Way officials asked if Emmanuel would take over responsibility for the warming center, which officials there agreed to do.
The United Way will continue to provide funding for the warming center, and continues to see its value to the community, according to Rob Gordon, executive director of the Augusta-based organization that oversees a large annual fundraising campaign to raise money for numerous area charities.
Gordon said the United Way's mission is not to be a direct service provider, though it ended up filling that role for several years with the warming center. He said it is crucial the warming center continue, as a place of refuge from the cold during the day, and as a place for social interaction and where people can get help accessing other services such as counseling and other assistance.
"It has become part of the fabric of the community," Gordon said of the warming center. "We've got a lot of people living on the edge, in fragile circumstances, in our community, and winter can push people over the edge. As time went on, we got better and better, at the warming center, of helping people with resources, becoming more than a drop-in center, becoming a place where people can get substantial help. Or if they just want to get out of the cold, they can do that too."
Organizers hope Bridging the Gap, which is funded by Emmanuel and others, in uniting the three previously separate entities, will provide it with a solid base and gain efficiency.
Sarah Miller, former director of the Augusta Food Bank, is serving as project director of Bridging the Gap.
"We'll have three gears, all rotating and becoming stronger together," Miller said of the new unified group of services.
Organizers envision guests who come to the warming center volunteering, as some of them already do now, at the other two entities, such as by helping to take in, sort, fold and distribute clothes for the clothing bank.
Judy Colomy has been volunteering at the warming center for some eight years, putting in 40 hours a week for no pay when the warming shelter is running full-time. She also frequently volunteers organizing clothes donated to Addie's Attic.
"My pay is the self-satisfaction I get" from helping others, the Augusta resident said. "It helps the community and it helps me, I'm a giver. And I like the place."
The St. Mark's property is for sale, and the social service programs offered there, according to city officials, were allowed in that zoning district because they were considered part of the use of the property as a church. Now that the property is no longer being used actively as a church, those uses aren't allowed in that zone, city officials have said.
The Augusta Food Bank is also currently located at the parish hall, but a new food bank is being built on Mount Vernon Avenue.
Bill Sprague, of Sprague and Curtis Real Estate, which has the St. Mark's property, including the parish hall, ornate historic church, and a nearby home, listed for sale, said a few parties have expressed interest in the property but, so far, there haven't been any takers. The property is listed for $595,000.
He said the church building is spectacular and the property is unique, and while he is optimistic they'll find a buyer, he said that is a matter of timing, and finding the right person or entity for it.
Miller said a long term goal for Bridging the Gap is to become a year-round resource center.
Their short term goal, however, remains finding a new location, by the planned Dec. 1 opening of the warming center.
Mayor David Rollins said city officials have been helping Bridging the Gap find a new location for the clothing bank, essentials pantry and warming center.
Rollins said after working all summer they thought they had a location, in space above Kmart off Western Avenue, but negotiations fell apart.
"We've got to find one, don't we?" Rollins said of the need to find a location for the three services for people in need. "Right now I don't know what we're going to do. We've got to figure it out."
While there was initially friction between the city and area faith community over the zoning issues surrounding St. Mark's, Balderston said city officials — including Rollins and City Manager William Bridgeo — have come to be very supportive and helpful in trying to find a better location for the services.
Liz Burgess, vice president of Emmanuel's congregation council and a co-coordinator of the essentials pantry, said the ideal new location for Bridging the Gap's combined services would be more than 4,000 square feet of space, accessible to people with disabilities and in the central part of the city so it is within walking distance to other services, such as the Bread of Life soup kitchen.
They've looked at multiple potential sites, but haven't yet found a new home.
They'll consider properties to lease or buy. "If we had a donor of space, that would be heavenly," Burgess said.
Anyone wishing to volunteer, donate money, or donate items to Bridging the Gap may mail funds to Bridging the Gap, 209 Eastern Ave. in Augusta, 04330. Items may be donated, for now, at St. Mark's parish hall Thursdays between 9 a.m. and noon or Tuesdays from noon to 2 p.m. The organization may be reached by phone at 248-1782.
