CREATING A LOVE
FOR CLASSICAL MUSIC
Music Memory is designed to reach all children, not just music students, and give them a life-long love of music. The nationally-recognized curriculum provides students in the 3rd through 6th grades an in-depth study of 16 selected compositions each year. The music is chosen from the five historical periods: Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Contemporary. Prominent composers of orchestral, vocal, choral, band and keyboard pieces are featured. When the students reach grade 6 and have completed four years of this program, they will be able to identify and appreciate 64 pieces of classical music, including works by Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven, as well as some jazz standards, opera selections and even some Broadway songs.
While exposed to a carefully selected, diverse repertoire, students acquire focused listening skills. Their music teachers also engage them in a wide range of artistic activities, including creative and structured movement, singing, and performing on rhythm and melody instruments. As they become aware of the structure of each piece—its melodic, harmonic and rhythmic patterns and the instrumentation or voices used--they are able to identify works and composers upon hearing only a few bars.
Extension activities build on this learning. Students also have the opportunity to attend a live Cape Symphony concert where they test their knowledge in a fun Name That Tune team competition and receive awards for their hard work.
REINCORPORATE MUSIC INTO THE CLASSROOM
Music Memory also meets an urgent and critical need to reincorporate music into the classroom curriculum and offers a new approach for inspiring students to appreciate music over the long-term. Students develop critical thinking, pattern recognition, emotional involvement and creative expression skills. Music Memory also helps children achieve goals aligned with the Massachusetts and national standards for arts education; assessments are provided in two formats--with printed titles and with picture icons--to make the program more accessible to special learners and ELL students.
MUSIC MEMORY TRAINING FOR MUSIC TEACHERS
The Cape Conservatory provides specialized training sessions with a teacher who has worked extensively with the program, at no cost. Music teachers receive an education packet, including Video Maps, recordings, lesson plans and more as part of their training. Video Maps are visual animated guides for first time listeners to help them easily understand how music is constructed. Anyone can learn to hear and remember classical music with this proven and effective system.
A SOLID FOUNDATION FOR AN INTEGRATED MUSIC EXPERIENCE
Music Memory also integrates with other Cape Symphony education programs including the new School Concerts Program, Young People’s Concerts, and One Cape, One Symphony. In each case, music that students study in the classroom is featured in a live-performance setting; since students are already familiar with the music, they appreciate it so much more.

All things new
Jesus is in the business of making all things new…
But our part in this process isn’t peripheral. We aren’t the bystander watching from the sidelines. We aren’t even on the bench (unless we put ourselves there) or the coach’s first backup.
We are paramount, cocreating and collaborating alongside Jesus in this work. It was the original gameplan from the very beginning in the garden
We believe reimagining the space our churches possess (the $1 trillion of space our churches possess in the U.S. alone) and repurposing how we inhabit these spaces can be one small means toward making all things new. But as we listen to the land of each space, its people and the ordinances that govern them both, we need fresh eyes and lofty visions, grounding ourselves in one simple question:
What is possible here?
Because what works here, might not work over there—and that’s precisely the point. It’s not a science, but an art, with the end result one that will take your breath away.
A community hub.
Affordable housing complex.
A social business incubator.
Commercial kitchen. Art gallery. Recording studio. Healing space. Event venue. Mental health collaborative. And the list goes on and on….
It is good work and as we steward our resources well for the flourishing of us all, all things new becomes here and now…
On earth, as it is in heaven….
Let it be so.
Have a great week, friends!

Recruitment for manufacturing companies has been a challenge in recent years. Despite common belief, manufacturing in the United States is up 27% since 2009 and contributes over $2 trillion to the U.S. economy. That growth has put strain on the manufacturing talent pool, and there are limited candidates with the experience, skills, and training to recruit for these roles. High-tech advancements in the manufacturing industry, including emerging technology like automation, AI, and IoT, are changing the manufacturing workforce from primarily blue-collar to a highly trained mix of blue and white-collar professionals. This shift has created a high demand for highly skilled manufacturing talent, and also means manufacturers are often competing with organizations from other industries to hire workers with the right expertise.
That’s why our manufacturing clients rely on Bemana’s recruitment solutions. With more than 35 years of combined experience in manufacturing recruiting, we understand the industry and the challenges hiring managers face in hiring the employees they need to grow their business. Our recruitment process starts by asking the right questions about your company and role to fully understand your culture and workforce needs.

If your organization has a critical job to fill, contact Bemana today to find out how our manufacturing recruiters can give you a talent advantage.
Automation and robotics have become integral to the modern manufacturing process, as they have for organizations across sectors.

- Complete, ready-to-use kit
- Cost effective
- Quantitative determination of protein concentration
- Sensitive - detect as little as 10 pg/mL
- Reliable - thoroughly tested gene-specific kit
- Colorimetric detection
The MaxDiscovery™ Mouse IL-12/p70 ELISA Test Kit is designed for quantitative determination of the concentration of mouse IL-12/p70 in serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatant.
Mouse interleukin 12 (IL-12) is also known as natural killer cell stimulatory factor (NKSF) or cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor (CLMF). The biologically active mouse IL-12 is a disulfide-linked, 70 kDa (p70) heterodimeric glycoprotein composed of a 40 kDa (p40) subunit and a 35 kDa (p35) subunit. While the p40 and p35 subunits by themselves do not have IL-12 activity, the p40 homodimer has been shown to bind the IL-12 receptor so that it is an IL-12 antagonist. IL-2 is a pleiotropic cytokine which has been shown to have multiple effects on T lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells. Some of these effects include the induction of IFN-γ and TNF production by T and NK cells, the enhancement of cytotoxic activity of T and NK cells and the stimulation of T and NK cell proliferation. IL-12 has also been shown to be a central mediator of the cell-mediated immune response by promoting Th1 development. Although mouse IL-12 is active on both human and mouse cells, human IL-12 is only active on human cells. IL-12 is produced by macrophages, dendritic cells, monocytes, Langerhans cells, neutrophils, and keratinocytes.

The UK's decision to leave the EU will exert a drag on eurozone growth for the next three years, according to the International Monetary Fund.
The IMF said the 19-member bloc of countries that use the euro was at a "critical juncture", and warned that "muddling through" the single currency's problems had become "increasingly untenable".
While the Brexit vote in itself was unlikely to send massive shockwaves through the eurozone, the IMF said risks to the economic outlook remained "firmly on the downside".
The Fund revised down its growth projections for the region to 1.6pc this year, 1.4pc in 2017 and 1.6pc in 2018.
Its previous update, predicated on a remain vote, showed growth of 1.7pc per...

The trial of eight persons charged with responsibility for the anti-Semitic riot at the town of Kunmadaras on May 21 during which three Jews were killed and many injured, has opened here before a military court.
Most of the defendants, among whom there is one woman, were shoeless and dressed in tattered clothing. The woman, Esther Kabai-Toth, was unable to give her birth date, but said she was about 41 years old. Two of the others are illiterates. The youngest defendant is only 15.
The Kabai-Toth woman is charged with spreading the report that a missing child had been kidnapped by a Jewish shopkeeper and killed for his flesh, from which sausages were made. The prosecution brought out that she had continued to spread the rumor after she knew that the child had been found.
The other chief instigators of the riot, according to preliminary evidence, were a Slovakian named Zsigmond Toth and a school master named Nagy. The latter was on trial before a local court in Kunmadaras for pro-Nazi and anti-Semitic activities when the outbreak occurred. Toth is charged with making statements to the effect that the extermination of Slovakian Jewry was progressing and that the Jews of Hungary must suffer the same fate.
Aside from the slander about the Jews murdering children and the sympathy felt by many persons for the schoolmaster, the main motivation for the riot seems to have been a desire to loot the shops of the Jews who were the targets of the attack. As one of the injured men lay dying, the mob carried almost everything moveable from his store. The local police made no move to stop them. Two of the injured Jews, a husband and wife, had returned from the Bergen-Belsen camp only six weeks before the outbreak.
One of the accused told the court today that he was innocent, because the steel rod with which he had beaten one of the murdered Jews was hollow and, therefore, could not be considered a lethal weapon.
(Police authorities in Budapest announced today that an investigation of the destruction of an Orthodox synagogue at Mako, last Friday night, is continuing. The persons believed to be responsible for setting the fire which razed the synagogue have not been found, and some investigators have expressed the opinion that the blaze may have been caused by lightning.)

Mexican officials have said that they found over 600 migrants in truck trailers close to the border, per a new report.
As reported by the Associated Press on Friday:
Mexican authorities have discovered 642 Central American migrants in six trailers near the United States border.
The trucks stopped at a military checkpoint Thursday night on a highway between Ciudad Victoria and Monterrey in the northern state of Tamaulipas. The state public safety agency said Friday that four suspects were arrested.
Among the migrants were 564 Guatemalans, as well as migrants from Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Belize. More than half of those aboard the trucks were children, nearly 200 of them not accompanied by an adult.

Nigeria's Ministry of Information and Culture announced on Friday an indefinite suspension of Twitter. The Ministry said the suspension was made due to Twitter's "persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria's corporate existence."
It's unclear how the Ministry intends to enforce the ban. Twitter was still accessible in Nigeria after Friday's announcement, according to the BBC. Nigeria likewise continued to exist.
The suspension comes days after Twitter removed a tweet from President Muhammadu Buhari.
Referring to the separatist group Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), President Buhari tweeted: "Many of those misbehaving today are too young to be aware of the destruction and loss of lives that occurred during the Nigerian Civil War. Those of us in the fields for 30 months, who went through the war, will treat them in the language they understand."
Twitter deleted the post for violating its abusive behavior policy. It also froze President Buhari's account such that he could not post for 12 hours.In a press conference following the ban, Minister of Information and Culture Alhaji Lai Mohammed

RECAP: Jody Wilson-Raybould's testimony on SNC-Lavalin affair, political reaction
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he maintains that he and his staff "always acted appropriately and professionally" and that he "completely" disagrees with how former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould characterized events during her stunning testimony on Wednesday.
His comments come on the heels of Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer calling on Trudeau to resign after Wilson-Raybould alleged political interference in the criminal prosecution of SNC-Lavalin.
During her testimony Wilson-Raybould said she was subjected to a months-long "sustained effort" from nearly a dozen senior government officials to pressure her into doing what she could as then-attorney general to have federal prosecutors drop criminal charges against SNC-Lavalin.

Considering I work on a company which has only Rails applications and I'm writing a mostly static set of webpages, should I use Rails or Sinatra to do it?
closed as not constructive by mu is too short, Michael Petrotta, Phrogz, Frédéric Hamidi, Joe Dec 16 '11 at 16:01
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or specific expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, see the FAQ for guidance.
I think this comes down to personal preference, company policy (though if your using Ruby, its probably not an issue anyhow!) and whom your working with (other developers).
I'd suggest you try using Sinatra and see how it fairs in comparison to your current workflow with Rails for a couple of projects.
If you use lots of Rails helper methods you may need to manually do what they previously did or find a Sinatra equivalent and there is often many to pick from.
You also have frameworks like Padrino that target the middle ground between Rails and Sinatra.
For purely static sites there are Ruby tools to generate sites based on templates, that may be worth while considering.
If there is any chance of doing heavy lifting down the road with more dynamic content, I would recommend setting it up as a rails project and using high_voltage for the static content.
If there is no chance for heavier dynamic content down the road, I say use sinatra.
If your application is mostly about static web pages, and all you got to do is route the URL's to certain actions (and their respective views) in a controller, I'd say go for Sinatra.

How We Met
We met six years ago in college and instantly became best friends. Just a few weeks after meeting Brett I knew in my heart I was going to marry this man someday. Fast forward through five years of dating, traveling the world, and making memories we are happily engaged!
how they asked
I kept seeing pictures on Instagram of Banff National Park and just had to go, so my mom, dad, sister, and I planned a vacation there for July 2018. We were all so excited for every part of the trip, but Brett kept asking me what I was most excited for. Besides time with my family, I told him I was most excited to see Moraine Lake. Little did I know he was asking because he was planning a surprise proposal!
Rewind to four months prior to our vacation, Brett devised a plan to fly to Canada and surprise me with a proposal. After asking my parents permission to marry me they started planning every detail and came up with a plan to keep it a surprise. I was under the impression that we would be taking “family pictures” with a photographer at Moraine Lake. My family loves pictures, especially in beautiful places, so I didn’t think anything of it, I was super excited.
On the morning of August 1, 2018, we woke up at 3 am to get ready for pictures because there is limited parking at Moraine Lake and we wanted to arrive before sunrise. Brett & his brother (who had already been in Canada for three days without me knowing) rode with the photographer, Justine, that Brett hired so that they could arrive before us and be in place.
After a short hike up to the top of the rock pile at Moraine Lake, Justine had us stop in the most beautiful spot and suggested we start there. After a few family pictures she said she wanted to take a few pictures of me and my sister, Abbey, facing the lake but she had to change her camera lens first. Again, I didn’t think anything of it, I was just enjoying taking in the scenery with Abbey when all of a sudden I heard Brett’s voice behind me…
After asking me to spend forever with him as his wife we got to take sunrise engagement pictures in the most beautiful, magical place in the world.

How often do smoke alarms need to be replaced? Don’t feel bad if you don’t know, you’re not alone. A national survey conducted by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) shows that nine out of ten Americans don’t know how often smoke alarms need to be replaced. The correct answer: every ten years.
“While the public generally knows that smoke alarms play an important role in home fire safety, some smoke alarm messages are not as well understood,” says Lorraine Carli, vice president of Outreach and Advocacy for NFPA. “Not knowing how often smoke alarms need to be replaced—or that they even have an expiration date—are among them.”
According to Carli, that lack of awareness means some U.S. homes may have smoke alarms that have outlasted their full functionality, putting people at increased risk in the event of a home fire. NFPA statistics show that three out of five U.S. home fire deaths occur in homes with no smoke alarms or no working alarms.
Key survey findings:
- Half of Americans (50 percent) have three or more smoke alarms in their current home.
- Almost one in five Americans who have smoke alarms (19 percent) say the oldest smoke alarm they currently have in their home is 10+ years old.
- Nearly one in five Americans who have smoke alarms (18 percent) are not at all sure how old the oldest smoke alarm they currently have in their home is.
- When asked how often they should replace smoke alarms, nine in 10 Americans (90 percent) did not select the correct answer, which is once every 10 years.
“Working smoke alarms reduce the risk of dying in a home fire by half,” said Carli. “That’s why it’s so important to make sure they’re working properly.”
Protective Systems will check your smoke detectors and if they are more than ten years old, we can change them for you. Call for an estimate today.

TOKYO—Looking to become the world's leading clothing retailer, Japan's Fast Retailing Co. plans to introduce its Uniqlo stores in the fast-growing Indian and Brazilian markets and to vastly expand its presence in China, where the number of stores are intended to leapfrog those in Japan by 2020.
So-called fast-fashion retailers such as Spain's Inditex SA, which is the world's largest clothing retailer and operates the Zara chain, and Sweden's Hennes & Mauritz AB are quickly expanding their respective empires around the globe as consumers move away from higher-priced clothing in favor of less-expensive options. Fast Retailing, Asia's leading clothing retailer by sales, said it aims to move ahead of Zara and H&M within a decade, as it ramps up store openings—particularly in Asia.
Fast Retailing's fashion focus, however, is different from its competitors: It sells casual, affordable basics, such as fleece jackets, jeans and its Heat Tech line of thermal underwear. "We don't make clothes that you throw away after one season," said Naoki Otoma, Fast Retailing's chief operating officer.
In its home market, where Fast Retailing derives the bulk of its revenue, the company has caused a buzz by breaking with many of the conventions of Japanese businesses. Fast has said English must be spoken at all business meetings where foreigners are present, that all email correspondence must be written in English by 2012 and that the number of its foreign employees will overtake Japanese workers by 2015.
The retailer is quickly becoming a template for the rest of corporate Japan, faced with the twin obstacles of shrinking domestic demand and a dearth of Japanese leaders with the know-how and language skills needed to lead a push into global markets.
"Our advantage is that we are a Japanese brand, which is known for good quality and design, and we are closer in proximity to the Asian countries," Mr. Otoma said in an interview. "In China, we will grow organically without alliances or collaborations. There are no Chinese companies that can do a better job there than us.…We won't be striving to increase our store count in Japan by that much going forward."
Uniqlo is forecast to have 844 stores in Japan and 76 in China by the end of August. By 2020, Uniqlo aims to have 1,000 stores in China through organic growth alone. Zara had 60 stores in China as of Oct. 31.
Mr. Otoma, 50 years old, said Uniqlo also aims to crack the Indian and Brazilian markets within five years. Although a foreign retailer currently can enter India only as a minority stakeholder with a local partner, this restriction is likely to change soon. "Based on our research, these regulations will likely be dissolved within one year," Mr. Otoma said.
In the crucial U.S. market, Uniqlo is rebuilding its brand following some earlier missteps. It has retreated from suburban shopping malls and now has only one store, in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood. The company aims to open an online shopping site soon to reach more American consumers and plans to open a flagship store on New York's Fifth Avenue next year.
The company has made no secret of the fact that it is scouring the market for acquisitions in the U.S., following a botched bid for Barneys New York in 2007.
"We have received many proposals," Mr. Otoma said. "There are not that many good options in the market right now. And for the companies that are doing well, the amount of money required to acquire them is tremendous. We have to advance with e-commerce quickly. Our priority has been branding and raising our brand awareness in the U.S."
Although Fast has been vocal about its plans for global domination, the past year has been choppy after a period of buoyant profitability.
November same-store sales in Japan tumbled 15% from a year earlier, marking the fourth consecutive month of decline. The number of customers fell 7% and sales per customer dropped 8.1%.
Fast in October forecast that full-year net profit for the year through August would fall for the first time in four years, by 17% to 51 billion yen ($608.1 million). The company projected that net sales will rise by 5% to 856 billion yen, however. The company's stock is off 27% so far this year.
Tadashi Yanai, Fast Retailing's founder and chief executive, has blamed the poor performance on shortages in basic core items, poor marketing of the spring and summer lines and oversights in product and production planning.
"I think that our strong performance in the first half of the year led us to be careless in the second half," he said in a presentation earlier this year.
Analysts said that with more than 800 stores in Japan, the market is saturated and consumers are reining in their spending. "Overall purchase sizes [in Japan] have been going down, but Japanese consumers have been increasing the frequency of their visits to stores in some categories. People want to spend less on each visit," said Brian Salsberg, head of McKinsey & Co.'s retail-and-consumer group in Japan.
Mr. Otoma said the company still has a lot to learn, particularly from its foreign rivals. "We can learn from H&M and Zara by looking at the speed with which they launch new stores. They are very courageous to open new stores, whether they succeed or not. We, in contrast, are very cautious with what we do," he said.
When asked whether he has ambitions to lead Fast Retailing one day—a subject of speculation, as Mr. Yanai is 61 and has no obvious successors—Mr. Otoma laughed and shook his head. "I don't want to be the CEO. I want to have a good, balanced life."

Fast Retailing's same-store sales in Japan were down 15% in November. In earlier versions of this article, it was incorrectly reported that the company's same-store sales were down 155% in November.

The Research Team and Artist Gather at New Harbor and Research Begins!
At last, the entire research team is at New Harbor, and everyone is busy constructing sediment samplers, testing sediment corers and retooling them, and making experiments to be put on the sea floor before the ice starts to melt in early December. Why are we doing this? Our goal is to figure out why there are so few fossils of Antarctica’s sea creatures.
Molly Miller (on right in upper left photo) is keen to start work. She explores the sea ice to collect sand and gravel deposited from the strong winds. She will compare the grain sizes she finds above the ice, to those on the sea floor. She also is studying how fast sediments are deposited on the sea floor in New Harbor. This affects whether an organism makes it into the fossil record. Sediments piling up quickly may lead to better preservation of fossils. If sediments are slow to accumulate, then the shells and bones of organisms may not be preserved as well.
Sam Bowser (center in the upper left photo) is studying some of the smallest creatures in the Antarctic. He is looking at the diversity of single-celled organisms (protists) and whether they are likely to be preserved in the fossil record. Both Molly and Sam have over 30 years of experience working in this desert of snow and ice.
I am working on the fossil forensics of mollusks in Antarctica, especially the Antarctic scallop, Adamussium colbecki. My experiments are designed to measure the amount that shells disolve in these icy waters. Artist, Claire Beynon (right) joined us, tending dives and facilitating art projects from around the world. There was such a whirlwind of activity in New Harbor, with continuing ice dives. The middle picture shows Shawn and Cecil ready to dive.
Soon, we had to get to our other field sites, Herbertson Glacier and the Bay of Sails that were farther away, before the sea ice started to melt.

Until a few hours ago, we were gearing up to offer a handful of the BCI Fantasy Swords in the last few days before Christmas..
Shipping the swords from the Philippines is, however, extremely expensive. In the past, we shipped some in by airfreight – and the average shipping price worked out to be over $120 per sword – which we need to factor in the final price – basically paying for nothing.. (and then you have shipping again from the warehouse to final location).
The usual way sword companies avoid such high prices is to bring in a container load of swords, but as this is a ’boutique’ forge, not a factory churning out dozens or hundreds of swords a day, seafreight is out of the question..
So this time, we came up with a different plan based on the Forge Direct model – and that’s to pack and ship the swords direct to the customer from the forge to anywhere in the world. It was all ready to go, and we were just about to offer this up when a huge spanner came out of the ether and has scuppered all our plans and sent us back to the drawing board..
The cost of sending a sword internationally by post is typically around $60 to $100 – and that’s what I was expecting and factored into the price. So when I just got the final quote – and the shipping cost per sword direct from the forge is a few dollars of $200..
…That blew us right out of the water, and the swords that are ready to go out are stuck in limbo..
Much of these costs come from the so called ‘TRAIN’ law and tax, which brings the cost of shipping well above the international average.
As such we are left with two choices – either increase the price to cover the costs or put this swords into storage and invest in a large enough shipment to bring the average cost down to less than $100 per sword..
A real shame, as I was looking forward this launching – and its all been scrapped at the last minute..
At least though, the next post will be more positive as its time for the next installment of the webcomic..

The Civil Procedure Rules Committee (CPRC) have opened the following consultations:
Following the Court of Appeal’s judgment in Cardiff City Council v. Lee (Flowers) [2016} EWCA Civ 1034,the CPRC are considering whether amendments are required to CPR Part 83 and associated Court forms, including the N323, N324, N325, N445 and N54.
Responses to this consultation should be submitted by 5pm on 30 August 2017.
The CPRC is concerned that the current provisions and standard directions for credit hire cases may lead to contested directions hearings which could otherwise be avoided. The CPRC are looking to amend the standard directions in this highly contentious area of litigation to cover all tracks and to help the parties narrow the issues in each case as far as possible.
Responses to this consultation should be submitted by 5pm on 2 August 2017.

Benson exacts revenge as Bengals crush Bears
Cedric Benson got his revenge on Chicago, all right. The rest of the Bengals' offense had a sweet time, too.
Carson Palmer threw five touchdown passes - four of them in a dominant first half - and Benson ran for a career-high 189 yards and a touchdown against the team that let him go, shocking Chicago with a 45-10 victory Sunday that will go down as one of the worst days in Bears history.
"Everybody knew it was going to be an emotional day," said Benson, who spent two turmoil-filled seasons in Chicago. "Everybody knew. What a wonderful day and a wonderful thing, to go out there and strut your stuff."
downlevel descriptionThis video requires the Adobe Flash Player. Download a free version of the player.
The Bengals improved to 5-2 for the first time since 2005, when a fast-strike offense got them to the playoffs. There was a strong resemblance in the first half, when Cincinnati scored on all five possessions and went up 31-0. It tied for the third-most points the Bears (3-3) have allowed in an opening half.
In that half alone, Chad Ochocinco had 103 yards receiving and Benson had 98 yards rushing as the Bears gave up more points than they had in any game all season. Palmer finished 20 of 24 for 233 yards, one shy of his career high for touchdown throws.
Something wasn't right on Chicago's reshuffled defense.
The Bears have constantly rearranged their linebackers because of injuries, including Brian Urlacher's dislocated right wrist. Middle linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer moved outside Sunday in the latest revamping, and the line was missing tackle Tommie Harris.
Even with that, it was hard to explain.
The Bengals had been an all-or-nothing offense, scoring nearly half their points in the final two minutes of halves and overtime. This time, it got going right away and didn't let up.
The focus was on Benson, who was Chicago's top draft pick in 2005 but couldn't crack the starting lineup for long or earn a spot in some of his teammates' hearts. They let him go after two stormy years, and the Bengals signed him last season.
Carrying a grudge, he played like a No. 1 pick.


AFTER fruitlessly searching for over five weeks, Knowle Operatic Society have finally secured a leading man for their performance of Carousel.
Andrew Bird is the lucky fellow chosen to play the role of Billy Bigelow in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical in 2012.
Society chairman Peter Derrington expressed relief and delight that Mr Bird had been found – after an exhausting search which he feared might end up being unsuccessful.
“We held open auditions at the start of October, but with no luck,” Mr Derrington said.
“We began rehearsing and did as much as we could, but it’s particularly hard when you’re missing the leading man.”
Next year’s performance marks a special date in the Society’s history and takes on extra significance as a result, Mr Derrington said.
“2012 is the 50th anniversary of the Operatic Society’s formation,” he explained.

text: This has been my mantra for the last month or so. In fact, it’s been the consistent thread running through my life. I first realized it on a plane at 35,000 over the mid-Atlantic states. The hum of the engine, an entire row to myself and my iPod. I only put my “gotta hear” songs on the tiny device. Somewhere half way to Baltimore REM’s “Nightswimming” came on, something about the peace and quiet mixed with the rolling piano riff and I was lost. At that moment, my pervading thought was ” why can’t I find someone who loves this song as much as me and gets it, truly gets it?” Then, the profound sadness lasted but a few minutes and gave way to a calm. A calm that confirmed I may never find that person, but when I do, it will be one great conversation.

Case Report - Facial dysmorphism, skeletal anomalies, congenital glucoma, dysplastic nails: Mild Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome
Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome (RTS) is a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome characterized by mental retardation, broad thumbs and toes, short stature, growth retardation and distinctive facial features. We report an Egyptian patient, 5 months old with mild RTS. Our patient had mild mental retardation, growth retardation, microcephaly, hypertelorism, prominent peaked nose, high arched palate, mild micrognathia, low set posteriorly rotated ears, hirsutism, broad halluces, short 5th toe and dorsal kyphosis. However the antemongoloid slant and board thumbs and fingers were slightly evident. Also our patient had dysplastic toe nails and bilateral congenial glaucoma, with megalocornea and corneal haziness. Congenital glaucoma is considered a rare complication in RTS and dysplastic nails were not previously reported in RTS. High resolution karyotype was normal. Previous studies have documented considerable change in facial phenotype and skeletal changes with age. We consider our patient as having mild form of RTS and the features will be more evident as she grows older.
Keywords: Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome; Congenital glaucoma; Megalocornea; Broad halluces; Kyphosis; Broad thumbs; Dysplastic nails

This time the one talking is ICM agent Ron Bernstein. He’s the agent you turn to if your book is an award winner or a masterpiece – authors like Horton Foote, Carl Hiasson, Patricia Cornwell, or Margaret Atwood. If he believes in your book, he doesn’t give up easily. Either he keeps on searching and selling the book until he finds the producer to take it on.
I knew it would be hard to sell it. I took it out to a list of producers. To a man, everybody turned me down. Then I went to a new list of people. Still no luck.
Or he negotiates what he wants and sells the producer.
But part of what I do in selling people is to educate them as to why I’m doing what I’m doing. Whatever it is I’m negotiating for—money, credit—I explain to the buyer why I’m asking for what I’m asking.
Books to movies. Or, actually, author to agent to book (or before) to agent to producer to movie.

Arteries of the Brain - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
Brain Arterial Anatomy. This exhibit depicts the anatomy and arteries of the cervical spinal column and the inferior portion of the brain, including the circle of Willis, carotids, vertebral, cerebral and basilar arteries.
"The illustrations have consistently been well documented, accurate and
timely. Most important though is that the illustrations demonstrate to
juries and claims people the persuasive power of visual communication. Our
firm has achieved multiple eight figure settlements and verdicts over the
past ten years... Medical Legal Art has been there with us on every case."
Thomas C. Jones
Davis, Bethune & Jones, L.L.C.
Kansas City, MO www.dbjlaw.net
"Medical illustrations are essential evidence in personal injury litigation and MLA is simply the best I've found at producing high-quality illustrations. Your illustrators are not only first-class artists, but creative and responsive. Your turn around time is as good as it gets. My clients have won over $60 million in jury verdicts and I can't recall a case which did not include one of your exhibits. On behalf of those clients, thanks and keep up the great work!"
"Our firm was able to settle our case at an all day mediation yesterday and
I am confident that the detail and overall appearance of the medical
illustrations significantly contributed to the settlement. When we require
medical illustrations in the future, I will be sure to contact [MLA]."
Noel Turner, III
Burts, Turner, Rhodes & Thompson
"It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Medical Legal Art. We have
used their services for three years and always found their professionalism,
quality of work, and timely attention to detail to exceed our expectations.
We recently settled two complicated catastrophic injury cases. One medical
malpractice case involving a spinal abscess settled for 3.75 million and the
other involving injuries related to a motor vehicle accident settled for 6.9
million. We consider the artwork provided by MLA to have been invaluable in

ABC has become the first network to make full-season commitments to its new fall shows.
The network has picked up Pete Nowalk‘s How to Get Away With Murder and Kenya Barris comedy Black-ish for full seasons, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Both shows hail from its studio counterpart, ABC Studios. Murder will run for 15 episodes — the most that star Viola Davis‘ movie schedule can permit — while Black-ish is for a standard 22 episodes.
The Shonda Rhimes-produced Murder, created by Shondaland disciple Nowalk, became the banner’s newest hit after opening to a whopping 14 million total viewers and a 3.8 among adults 18-49. The demo haul tied the fourth season debut of Rhimes’ Scandal and topped its lead-in among total viewers. The drama was the most-watched scripted entry for the night, which included Scandal and veteran Grey’s Anatomy.

When factoring in three days of delayed viewing, the Davis starrer set a record, becoming the biggest DVR viewership in history. The series jumped to 20.3 million total viewers and a 5.6 in the demo — topping previous freshman demo leader Gotham and its total haul as well. Murder also topped previous record-holder The Blacklist, with only The Big Bang Theory posting more growth with three days of viewing in the demo. The second episode of the drama was the most-watched non-sports series on Thursday night, despite an 18 percent decline in t he demo to 3.2 and 11.8 million total viewers. The series topped both Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal in total viewers.
The 15-episode order comes after ABC Entertainment Group president Paul Lee and showrunner Nowalk told reporters at TCA that the series would have a limited season — largely the case with more cable-model fare that helps lure top talent like Davis and The Following‘s Kevin Bacon. The network will add Ryan Phillippe drama Secrets & Lies to the Thursday at 10 p.m. lineup following Murder‘s run.
Blackish, the semi-autobiographical comedy from showrunner Barris and starring Anthony Anderson, finally gave ABC a hit behind Modern Family. The comedy opened to 10.8 million total viewers and a 3.3 rating among adults 18-49, holding on to a large chunk of its Emmy-winning lead-in. After ABC touted the show as the No. 1 new comedy of the season, week two saw the series fall an alarming 24 percent to 6.6 million total viewers and a 2.5 in the demo, though it’s still the strongest second-week retention of any comedy in the problematic post-Modern Family slow since 2009. The series was up two-tenths this week to a 2.8 in the demo.

When opening the 2018 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show automotive exhibition on ICE BSD City today, Thursday, August 2, 2018, President Joko Widodo welcomed the presence of a rural vehicle called Rural Multipurpose Mechanical Transport (AMMDes). The multipurpose vehicle of the nation's work is designed to improve the economic productivity of rural communities.
"I welcome AMMDes, Rural Multipurpose Mechanical Transport, which we will launch today," said the President.
The presence of this rural vehicle will also have a multiplier effect on other industries. At least 70 domestic component industries are involved in the production of rural vehicles.
"This is a type of vehicle but there is a lot to do with the upstream industry. It is reported that more than 70 domestic component industries are ready to become suppliers of this AMMDes component," he said.
Basically AMMDes functions as a means of transportation and transport that can be combined with various post-harvest processing tools. In addition, this vehicle can also be combined with several supporting equipment such as generators for lighting, rice grinder, and water pumps for rural rice irrigation by placing the components in the back of the vehicle.
After officially opening the exhibition, the Head of State went straight to the booth where the multipurpose vehicle was exhibited and had boarded one of the AMMDes on display.
"In addition to increasing production and productivity in the villages, this can also solve many problems in the village both in the form of water, mobility, dryers and rice mills in a small form so that mobility in the fields and villages can be even better , "said the President commenting on the rural vehicle.
The development of the AMMDes has been monitored long ago by President Joko Widodo. During a working visit to Klaten Regency, Central Java, in September 2017, the President had visited the Kiat Motor factory which had been known through Esemka products. There, the President witnessed firsthand the development of rural vehicles which were then still called Mahesa.
"The government's task is to give encouragement so that ideas like this can enter the market," the president said at the time. ( biro pers )

Book Presentation Remaps the Americas with Hispanic History
October 20, 2014
In January, 2014, Spanish author Felipe Fernández-Armesto released a groundbreaking publication, "Remapping the Territory, Our America: A Hispanic History of the United States" (W.W. Norton). This Friday, October 24, 2014, Fernández-Armesto visits the University of New Mexico to share this work with the campus community through a book presentation and signing. The presentation will take place from 12:00-1:00 p.m. in Dane Smith Hall, Room 125. For reference, please see the event flyer. Co-sponsors for the event include the Instituto Cervantes of Albuquerque, Rael del Pino Foundation, UNM Latin American & Iberian Institute, and the UNM Department of Spanish & Portuguese.
As the publisher writers, "This absorbing narrative begins with the explorers and conquistadores who planted Spain's first colonies in Puerto Rico, Florida, and the Southwest. Missionaries and rancheros carry Spain's expansive impulse into the late eighteenth century, settling California, mapping the American interior to the Rockies, and charting the Pacific coast. During the nineteenth century Anglo-America expands west under the banner of "Manifest Destiny" and consolidates control through war with Mexico. In the Hispanic resurgence that follows, it is the peoples of Latin America who overspread the continent, from the Hispanic heartland in the West to major cities such as Chicago, Miami, New York, and Boston. The United States clearly has a Hispanic present and future."
Reviewers have acclaimed the book. Julio Ortega from the New York Times, in particular, has lauded it, writing that "Felipe Fernández-Armesto, a British historian of Spanish heritage at the University of Notre Dame, recasts the pilgrimage of Hispanics in the United States as a rich and moving chronicle for our very present. His book navigates five centuries of painful documents, atrocious statements and dubious literature to argue that the United States was, from its beginning, as much a Spanish colonial southern enterprise as an unending march westward. After long periods of migration, deportation and accommodation, the next United States could well be a pluricultural bilingual power, updating the American dream. 'Our America' is perhaps the first history to make the case for this nation's becoming a bright Latin American country."

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Space and money are tight for a yearlong $5.9 million project to rehab roughly 1.9 miles of cracked and bumpy traffic lanes on West 65th Street, on which work could begin this fall.
But even though the project as proposed by the administration of Mayor Frank Jackson would include bike lanes on parts of the street, Cleveland Metroparks and other organizations would like to see the city crank it up a notch.
So far, the city’s design, led by the engineering firm of Michael Baker International, includes striped bike lanes with painted buffers on the street’s shoulders, in spots, and “sharrows” — travel lanes shared equally by bikes and cars — in others.
Bike Cleveland, the city’s leading advocacy organization for cyclists, would like to see a consistent, two-way cycle track protected by a three-foot-wide buffer, instead of what the city is proposing.
Such tracks are commonplace in many American cities, and are on the horizon for Cleveland. For example, the city has approved a cycle track for Lorain Avenue from West 20th Street to West 65th Street, for which construction could begin as early as 2022.
Bike Cleveland said the cycle track on West 65th Street should connect with the Lorain Avenue track.
As part of its response during the official comment period for the project from June 11 to 21, Bike Cleveland offered a conceptual design for a cycle track that it designed using free software available on the Internet.
The proposal called for a two-way cycle track on either the west or east side of West 65th Street extending 1.9 miles from Denison to Herman avenues, and ranging from 9 to 12 feet in width. The cycle track would be separated from traffic by a three-foot painted buffer and a barrier such as a raised curb or planters.
Jacob VanSickle, Bike Cleveland’s executive director, said such a design would feel much safer and more attractive to a wider array of cyclists than bike lanes or sharrows.
“Traditional bike lanes are only going to serve a small section of population,‘' he said. “We want to open up the toolbox the city uses to build out a safe, stress-free network.‘'
Cleveland Metroparks, the Detroit Shoreway Community Development Organization and the Western Reserve Land Conservancy agree strongly with VanSickle’s position. Their comments were also among 250 gathered by the city during the comment period.
On Friday, June 26, the Jackson administration said it is considering Bike Cleveland’s proposal, but that it would have to see whether the cycle track could be built within the $5.9 million budget for the project, and whether its Traffic and Engineering Department agrees it would improve safety.
VanSickle said Bike Cleveland’s proposal would approach the safety level proposed in a 2013 plan for West 65th Street that called for a recreational trail to be installed off-road on a tree-lawn next to the street.
That proposal, funded through the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency’s Transportation for Livable Communities Initiative, would be more costly, he said. A two-way cycle track could be added more affordably within the existing roadway, he said.
Why the fuss over West 65th? Because Metroparks, Bike Cleveland and others see the street as a vital north-south leg in a loop connecting the West Side to several regional bike paths already completed or in the works along Lake Erie, the Cuyahoga River and the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority’s rapid transit Red Line.
Those paths include the new section of the Cleveland Lakefront Bikeway along the West Shoreway, the Red Line Greenway, now under construction and the Lorain Avenue cycle track. It also would include a section of the Cleveland Foundation Centennial Lake Link Trail planned for Irishtown Bend along the Cuyahoga River in Ohio City.
With the right kind of design, advocates say, West Siders within reach of West 65th Street would have far easier access than they have today to Edgewater Park on Lake Erie, the future park at Irishtown Bend, and the Towpath Trail, with connections to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
“The failure to provide a protected north-south connection between the burgeoning east-west multi-modal transportation networks will become obvious if completed in the currently proposed manner and will work against the larger collectively-held goals of connectivity and safety,‘' Metroparks told the city in its June 18 letter commenting on the current design for West 65th Street.
Metroparks has played a key role in planning the emerging network of off-road trails on the West Side, and will manage them as part of its expanding commitment in the city.
Ward 15 Councilman Matt Zone, whose district encompasses most of the West 65th Street project, called the upcoming rehab “our one-time shot to create a wonderful north-south connection.‘'
Portions of the project are also in Wards 14 and 3, represented by Jasmine Santana and Kerry McCormack, respectively.
Zone said he hopes to convene a meeting about West 65th Street during the week of July 6 with the organizations pushing for improvements to the rehab plan, and representatives of the mayor’s Office of Capital Projects and the city’s engineering and planning departments.
At issue is whether the project budget, which includes money from the State of Ohio Issue 1 bond funds approved by voters in 2014, could accommodate the cycle track.
Then too, the city would have to find solutions for tricky details where the track would cross private driveways and approach intersections. Both the city’s design and the Bike Cleveland design call for elimination of parking on one side of West 65th in certain sections of the street.
VanSickle and Zone said they’re optimistic solutions can be found, and that it’s worth pressing for a better design.
“In order to create safe mobility you have to create safe networks throughout our city,‘' VanSickle said. “It’s what our organizations are proposing and it’s what we need.‘'

Despite dozens of Juneteenth celebrations happening around the world, Juneteenth of Buffalo ranks as the third largest in the world according to event organizers. With hundreds of events, vendors, festivities, games, tours and more, the amount of attendees and volunteers that show up to MLK Jr. Park make this one of Buffalo’s largest summer events, too.
This Year, Juneteenth Goes Virtual

Italy is mourning nine of its nationals killed in Friday’s militant attack on a café in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka.
Italy is mourning nine of its nationals killed in Friday’s militant attack on a café in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka. A tenth is unaccounted for.
Several were business people working in the textile industry. One was said to have been five months pregnant.
They were identified as Adele Puglisi, Marco Tondat, Claudia Maria D’Antona, Nadia Benedetti, Vincenzo D’Allestro, Maria Rivoli, Cristian Rossi, Claudio Cappelli and Simona Monti.
Twenty people were killed in the attack, carried out in the name of political Islam.
Mostly foreigners, they also included seven Japanese aid workers and an American.
An army spokesman said the victims had been “brutally” attacked with sharp weapons after being singled out.
“The whole of Italy feels sympathy with the families of the victims, with great solidarity. And terrorism with its barbarity represents today the main danger for the world. A common commitment is needed, from all of us,” said Italy’s President Sergio Mattarella, who returned to the country from Mexico following the attack.
Flags in Rome flew at half mast as the country digested the horror of the attack.
Bangladeshi commandos raided the complex after a 12-hour siege, rescuing 13 people and killing six militants, arresting another.
Responsibility for the attack was claimed by the so-called Islamic State group.

INNSBRUCK, Austria, May 27, 1931 (UP) - The Innsbruck airdrome reported the experimental balloon of Prof. Auguste Piccard drifting in a changing wind over the northern part of Italy tonight.
Airdrome officials said big searchlights had been used in an attempt to signal the balloon, and it was believed the ground parties saw a signal light in response. The fact that the balloon was being tossed about in almost every direction and sinking slowly downward, however, was said to indicate it was out of control or that the occupants were dead.
Two airplanes proceeded to the Stubai valley in an attempt to observe the condition of the balloon, and motorcycles were dispatched along the roads. The gendarmes attempting to follow the balloon said it resembled "a large silver star" in the sky.

Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) refers to the fighting techniques of European origin. The curriculum at Tosetti Institute of MMA and Fitness is based on the historical texts and documents of the fighting styles of the prominent medieval and Renaissance masters of German Longsword and Italian Sidesword.
The sidesword, sometimes referred to as a cut and thrust sword, represents the time period when the sword was evolving from the most recognized “knightly sword” to the rapier, for civilian use. The sidesword would also slowly evolve into other variants for battlefield use, most notably the back sword. This particular time in swordplay offers a wide range of techniques in cutting and thrusting as well as striking with the pommel and grappling. The sidesword was also commonly paired with an offhand weapon such as the dagger, cloak, buckler, or even a second sidesword.
Our curriculum starts with the Bolognese (Italian) system drawing from such masters as Achille Marozzo, Antonio Manciolino, Giovanni dall’Agocchie, and the Anonimo Bolognese. A complete translation of the Anonimo Bolognese by Stephen Fratus can be downloaded here.
Beginners are welcome!
The first half hour of class focuses on drills related to building concepts, techniques and practical applications. In the second half of the class the more experienced students drill and spar with more equipment and a higher level of intensity.
