As books they were generations removed from one another, but in a perfect storm of wizardry, both J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter cast their spell on.

Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party
Country of Reform:
Date of Interview:
Tuesday, December 15, 2009
Büdragchaagiyn Dashyondon discusses the democratic and market reform that occurred in Mongolia in the 1990s as the country transitioned away from socialism. He elaborates on the relationship between geopolitical events, reform within the Communist Party and overall national reform that eventually led to the adoption of a new constitution in 1992. He speaks about the changes in the Communist Party’s ideology, both due to domestic and international concerns, and the political gradualism through which democratic reforms were achieved without violence. He also describes key decisions, such as the resignation of the politburo, and how party members worked to ensure that these reforms were achieved from within the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party.
Büdragchaagiyn Dashyondon was a long-time official in the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party (MPRP). After serving as director of the MPRP school, Dashyondon assumed the position of deputy head of department of the central committee of the MPRP, a position he retained until the beginning of the democratic transition in 1990. He then became the head of the central committee of the Metropolitan Party. In 1991, he rose to become secretary-general of the central committee of the MPRP, which was the equivalent of the then-defunct position of chairman. He served in this capacity until 1996, when the MPRP lost power.

It is an open secret that all the nutrients that the body needs cannot be obtained from food that we eat. Not just about the prostastream you want to buy... but about their other products? What has been found with many of these supplements offered is that they do absolutely nothing for the prostate.
But, in today's day and age, with the soils depleted of minerals and nutrients, you might have no choice but to take prostastream if you want to support your gland and give it a fighting chance at health (especially if your prostate problems are hereditary). Prostate health should be a prime concern for every man. There are a lot of reasons why someone with BPH or prostatitis would want to take prostastream . According to a recent research, consuming fruits that are rich in fructose triggers the production of Vitamin D that hinders the formation or growth of cancer cells in the prostate. One study found that drinking 12 ounces of soy milk a day was associated with a lower level of estrogen in men, a hormone that is linked with increased prostate cancer risk.
Super Beta Prostate is also verified by Consumer Lab, one of the most highly respected third party lab certification. So I took my first round of it in the early evening with my dinner. What if the product contains natural, but unwanted substances?
In fact, 70% of men do not even bother about what they are putting in their mouth as long as it's edible. Beta Sitosterol is often used for benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, gallstones and coronary heart disease. Research shows the possibility that poor prostate health may be due to insufficiencies in the diet. Two servings of lycopene-rich processed tomatoes a week may help ward off prostate cancer.Secret To Choosing A Pure Omega 3 Food Supplements
Taking Saw Palmetto extract can help with this if taken daily. Surgery, called a prostatectomy for the surgical removal of the prostate gland, means impotence for about 75% of the men choosing this path, according to a September 2004 study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. He was a cop for 20 years - saw all kinds of gruesome stuff. This lycopene does not only prevent cancer, it also diminishes the size of an active tumor.

There are actually right now loads of websites giving CBD products containing both CBD as well as THC. Because CBD is certainly not yet thought about an approved drug in a lot of states, merchants who market CBD products without a prescribed could obtain into severe legal trouble.
If you or somebody you recognize goes through coming from one of an array of inflammatory or even persistent pain problems, consisting of CBD oil may assist individuals with discomfort and also inflammation. In the long condition, more documentation needs to have to be actually collected before CBD ends up being genuinely practical for clients with these kinds of sickness.

Thanks to the capriciousness of Mother Nature--the un-seasonal cool weather and rains in Northern California--the usual tinder-dry, wildfire-prone wild lands do not represent the fire danger usually associated with Fall.
This has prompted the BLM to lift all fire restrictions that have been in place since mid-summer. Specifically, campfires are again permitted outside of developed campgrounds, but you must still get a free fire permit. Restrictions on smoking and internal combustion engines off-road and on trails have also been lifted.
These lifted restrictions apply to the Arcata and Redding field offices in Humboldt, Mendocino, Del Norte, Trinity, Siskiyou, Shasta, Butte, and Tehama counties.

Sea Kayaking with Whales in the San Juan Islands
Orca whales, also known as Killer whales, are perhaps the most iconic symbol of the San Juan Islands of Washington State. Every summer thousands of visitors come here in hopes of catching a glimpse of these beautiful animals, and encountering Orca whales is one of the most highly sought after experiences.
The San Juan Islands are blessed with two populations of Orca whales that move through the area. One group is called the “Southern Residents” and the others are known as “Biggs”, or “Transient” Orca whales. The Southern Residents are fish eaters, while the Bigg’s Orcas primarily feed on mammals such as seals and porpoise. These two whale populations make the San Juan Islands one of the best places in the world to see Orcas.
Nothing quite compares with the feeling of floating in a kayak on the surface of the water and seeing a family of whales passing by. Occasionally the sounds of their songs can even reverberate through the hulls of the kayaks and, because we move silently, the sharp sounds of their breathing pierces the air. The additional thrill of being in proximity to such a large and intelligent creature is truly a world-class experience.
One of the most common questions that we get asked every year is “Are we going to see killer whales?” It’s a really good question that we feel needs to be answered as accurately as possible.
From the very first days of our company Anacortes Kayak Tours has tried to manage our guests expectations. Because the whales are such a popular attraction in the San Juan Islands sometimes people get the misconception that a whale sighting is as easy as falling off of a log. It isn’t.
There are difficulties with making claims about the possibility of “kayaking with whales”. The main reason is that Orca whales rarely stay in one place. They are fast and constantly moving, and can often cover more than 100 miles in a single day. By contrast relatively slow-moving sea kayaks cover far less territory, with 5-10 miles being the average distance traveled per day. What this means is that no kayak outfitter can promise a whale sighting on any given day. There is a huge element of just getting lucky and being in the right place at the right time. Kayak tours are not designed to be whale watch trips, we move too slowly for that.
Why is whale watching in the San Juan Islands so popular?
The last 30 years has seen the interest in whale watching growing worldwide, and the San Juan Islands are no exception.
Part of the reason for our popularity is that there were many summers when the Resident orca whales travelled like clockwork around the San Juans. We could often accurately predict where they would be simply based on what the tidal currents were doing. One predominant travel pattern those days was a clockwise circuit around the islands. They would very often be seen on the west side of San Juan in the morning and afternoon before moving north into Canada and looping back down the east side of the archipelago near Anacortes. The west side of San Juan Island became synonymous with Orca sightings and they even nicknamed a state park there “Whale Watch Park”.
The regularity of whales being present allowed for a robust eco-tourism industry to develop in Friday Harbor on San Juan Island.
What has changed?
In the last few years this pattern of movement has changed dramatically with the whales appearing less and less frequently near San Juan Island. The fabled “west side” of San Juan Island, once considered one of the best places on the planet to be able to see wild Orca whales, has perhaps been the most affected by these changes. The Resident orcas are choosing different areas to forage and are spending much less time there.
In 2017 the Center for Whale Research, located on the west side of San Juan Island, reported just 12 days out of 150 days (May 1st - September 27th) when the Southern Resident Orca whales were seen near San Juan Island. This was during the prime sea kayaking season in the San Juan Islands. In 2016 there was a similar lack of Orca whale sightings on the west side of the San Juans, with weeks going by without whale encounters.
What does this mean for kayaking with whales?
Luckily, for whale enthusiasts, there has been another remarkable change in the San Juan Islands. This has dramatically increased whale viewing opportunities for visitors to this region and whale watching companies have been able to show their customers whales on almost every trip.
Sea kayaking with whales is all about good luck and good timing.
Although we paddle in areas where whales are found, we don’t want to build up your expectations of whale encounters just to sell you a tour. Our belief is that nobody can make promises about wildlife sightings of any kind and we know how much you will enjoy the trip regardless of what animals are in the area when you join us. We would rather earn your business by providing a unique product in a remarkable area. Our guests love our trips and many come back year after year.
We do get lucky sometimes and kayak with whales during the summer months, but the frequency and proximity of those sightings is determined by the whales, not us. Every sighting is incidental and beyond our control. When we do see whales you can also be comfortable knowing that our guides will always act in a manner that protects the whales’ best interests. We are interlopers in their homes and so we want to be respectful of their space.
Kayaking with whales, in our opinion, should remain what it always has been…an unbelievable bonus to an already great kayak trip in the San Juans. Sea kayaking is a great way to experience the San Juan Islands. Nothing else gets you closer to the place, physically and spiritually.
Whether you decide to come out with us, or some other kayaking outfit, we certainly hope that your experience is entertaining, educational, and something that you will want to do again. And we hope that we helped shed some light on the subject of kayaking with whales in the San Juan Islands.
Please call if you have any questions or concerns.

Little is known of the Book of Serpents, Ash, and Acorns: Shadows of What Was and Will Be, a supposedly intelligent tome which provides the most complete information concerning travel to the mysterious Dimension of Time.
Originally discovered in a market in the Plane of Fire's City of Brass, it is cold to the touch and contain pages made of a malleable form of compacted ash. Only creatures originally from the Inner Sphere are able to use the information in this book, as deities and other inhabitants of the Outer Sphere seem unable to reach this realm. The author of the work is unknown, as are their intentions in penning the book. Even though travel to the Dimension of Time is not dangerous in itself, any attempt to interfere with one's own past is dealt with quite harshly, with the offending person trapped in an inescapable logic loop or excised completely from reality as we know it. The book's mysterious epilogue simply reads "In Stethelos, I am waiting," although no one knows to whom or what this refers.

We take a look at the changeover to decimal currency which occurred almost 50 years ago, and ask if there are any lessons to be learned that will help resolve the UK’s current measurement muddle.
In their book “The Blunders of our Governments” #, the authors begin by describing a number of successes of UK governments during the past 75 years. These include the introduction of decimal currency, then known as “decimalisation”. As a reminder for older readers and as an introduction to the subject for younger ones, the paragraph from the book on decimalisation is reproduced below. The book does not include in its catalogue of blunders the way the changeover to metric measures was carried out, but it could well have done so.
“Requesting people to wear seat belts and to stop drink-driving requires them to change their behaviour. It requires them in that sense to make choices. In the case of decimalisation, people had no choice. They had to use the decimal currency whether they liked it or not. Even so, the abrupt switch that took place in mid-February 1971 from old pounds, shillings and pence to old pounds and new pence could have descended into farce. It could have proved an administrative disaster. In the event, the transition proceeded so smoothly that some national newspapers, which certainly would have reported it if something had gone badly wrong, found it scarcely worth reporting. It was precisely the knowledge that something might go badly wrong that prevented anything from going wrong. The government announced that the country was going to go decimal as early as the spring as 1966, nearly five years in advance of the actual event. A few months later, an executive Decimal Currency Board was set up to engineer the transition. The board introduced early on two new decimal coins, which ran alongside pre-decimal coins of the same value, and it organised a massive pre-decimalisation publicity campaign, one that accelerated gradually as time went on. By February 1971 a major event had all but transformed into a non-event. Fortunately, there was virtual consensus among politicians and commentators on that issue. Controversy was minimal. Few were prepared to defend the old currency. The only serious argument revolved around the issue of whether the new currency’s basic unit should be the pound or some smaller unit, probably one with a value equivalent to ten shillings – half a pound – in the old money. But the argument was settled quickly in favour of the pound sterling and, once settled, it stayed settled. Administratively, decimalisation was a triumph.”
Does the success of decimalisation provide indications of where the change to metric measures – now in its 55th year – went wrong? Readers may wish to speculate.
In a future article, Metric Views will look at an historic blunder which, some would say, led directly to the UK’s current measurement muddle, namely the first report of the Commissioners Appointed to Consider Weights and Measures, dating back to 1819.

Let’s face it, we build our cars to make lots of horsepower so they go fast, but making sub-sonic pulls on the street isn’t super safe. The NHRA and drag strips were created to give people a safe place to race, but not everybody likes to make a pass from a dead stop, and that’s how roll racing came about.
Roll racing is a lot like what people do on the streets, but in a safe environment at the track. Street Car Takeover events offer a roll racing competition and the lanes are always packed with some wild cars. You’ll see everything from people in their street cars out to have some fun, all the way to exotic supercars laying down 200 MPH rips.

26 April 2019 | News
Teva promptly notified Golden State Medical Supply of the presence of the impurity in Hetero’s API and Teva will recall thirty-five (35) lots of bulk Losartan Potassium tablets sold to that company.
Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. has initiated a voluntary recall in the United States, to the patient level, of 35 lots of bulk Losartan Potassium USP Tablets (6 lots of 25 mg strength and 29 lots of 100 mg strength). This recall is due to the detection of an impurity – N-Nitroso-N-methyl-4-aminobutyric acid (NMBA) – found in six lots of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufactured by Hetero Labs Limited that is above the US Food & Drug Administration’s interim acceptable exposure limit of 9.82 ppm. Based on the available information, the risk of developing cancer in a few patients following long-term use of the product cannot be ruled out.
Losartan Potassium is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy, and nephropathy in Type 2 diabetic patients. The lots were sold exclusively to Golden State Medical Supply of Camarillo, California. Golden State Medical Supply packages this bulk product under its own label and distributes in retail bottles of 30, 90, and 1000 tablets.
To date, Teva has not received any reports of adverse events related to the lots being recalled.
No other Teva Losartan Potassium finished drug products have been identified, in the United States, containing API above the interim specification levels set for NMBA.
The affected Losartan Potassium tablets being recalled are described as:
Teva promptly notified Golden State Medical Supply of the presence of the impurity in Hetero’s API and Teva will recall thirty-five (35) lots of bulk Losartan Potassium tablets sold to that company. The tablets, which have been packaged and sold by Golden State Medical Supply, will be recalled from their customers and patients. Distributors and retailers that have the product being recalled should immediately stop distribution, quarantine all remaining product in their control, and return the recalled product per the instructions given to them by Golden State Medical Supply.
Patients taking Losartan Potassium tablets are advised to continue taking their medication and contact their pharmacist, physician, or medical provider for advice regarding alternative treatment. The immediate risk of harm to a patient’s health is likely to be higher if the medicine is stopped abruptly without any alternative treatment. For full drug product information, please refer to the full prescribing information for Losartan Potassium tablets USP.

Eidos's British PR firm, Barrington Harvey, has issued a statement on the subject of UK Tomb Raider: Underworld reviews after it came to light this afternoon that sites had been requested to not publish score for the game lower than 80 percent until Monday, three days after it goes on sale.
The story arose after Gamespot UK journalist Guy Cocker wrote on his Twitter on Wednesday that he had been told that, "If you’re planning on reviewing Tomb Raider Underworld at less than an 8.0, we need you to hold your review till Monday.”
VG247 then contacted Barrington Harvey to be told by a rep: “That’s right. We’re trying to manage the review scores at the request of Eidos.”
When asked why, the spokesperson said: “Just that we’re trying to get the Metacritic rating to be high, and the brand manager in the US that’s handling all of Tomb Raider has asked that we just manage the scores before the game is out, really, just to ensure that we don’t put people off buying the game, basically.”
The following statement is from Simon Byron, one of Barrington Harvey's directors. In its entirety:
Barrington Harvey is not in the position of telling reviewers what they can and cannot say. We love Tomb Raider and believe it merits a score of at least 8/10, but if someone disagrees that's entirely their prerogative. No problem at all. Seriously: no problem.
Our original NDA stated that in order to receive an advance copy of the game, reviewers agreed not to post reviews ahead of 5:00pm, Wednesday 19th November 2008. Nothing else. No further obligations whatsoever.
As you can clearly see from the scores posted so far, Barrington Harvey has no issue with scores of below eight out of 10 being posted online. The Eurogamer review in questions caused "problems" in so much as it originally contained a couple of minor factual inaccuracies which, to its credit, the site has quickly rectified and addressed (without, quite rightly, changing the context of the review).
Any site, be it Gamespot or whoever, is entirely within their rights to post whatever score they want and no-one is under any sort of obligation to delay any review.
As an ex-journalist myself, I firmly believe in editorial integrity and the right to express an individual opinion. As an agency, we never - ever - make demands of the press in terms of awarding scores; at the end of the day, they are free to score as they wish.
Barrington Harvey has been working hard to ensure the launch scores of Tomb Raider Underworld are in line with our internal review predictions over the launch weekend - but to suggest that we can in some way "silence" reviews of the game is slightly overstating our influence.
Tomb Raider: Underworld releases today for Xbox 360 and PS3.

The CDC is now reporting at least 80 confirmed cases of a polio-like illness called acute flaccid myelitis or AFM in 25 states, including Pennsylvania. There are more than 100 suspected cases. AFM starts as a cold, but goes on to cause sudden weakness and sometimes paralysis.
Altoona Infectious Disease Specialist Dr Robert Sullivan says the illness is one of several caused by the enterovirus.
“Enterovirus is a virus that circulates all the time, but it seems like it’s more prevalent in the fall months in autumn,” he explains.
He’s never seen a case of AFM, but he frequently treats other serious illnesses, such as viral meningitis, that are caused by the same virus.
Doctors say AFM can happen to any healthy child, but they don’t know why some develop it and others don’t. Fortunately AFM is very rare, and most children who do develop it get better on their own.
There’s no specific treatment for AFM. The best way to prevent it is to wash your hands, stay home when you’re sick, and cover coughs and sneezes. Dr. Sullivan says however, like other viruses, it can be difficult to head off.
“The flu virus is spread and even all viruses are spread so effectively. because it spreads and then, even before you know you have anything, you’re getting ill,” he says.
It’s important to remember that although AFM is often referred to as a polio-like illness, it’s not polio, it just has similar symptoms.
AFM itself is not contagious, but the viruses that are believed to cause it may be spread from one person to another, or even by a mosquito, depending on which virus causes the AFM.


Amid the economic turmoil initiated by the pandemic, United States major stock exchanges have continued to dominate the global equity market. Despite the dominance, major U.S. exchanges are delisting companies due to a range of factors.
According to data acquired by Finbold, a total of 179 companies have been delisted from the major U.S. exchanges between 2020 and 2021. In 2021, the number of companies on Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange stands at 6,000, dropping 2.89% from last year’s figure of 6,179. In 2019, the listed companies stood at 5,454.
NYSE recorded the highest delisting with companies on the platform, dropping 15.28% year-over-year from 2,873 to 2,434. Elsewhere, Nasdaq listed companies grew 7.86% from 3,306 to 3,566.
As of 2021, Nasdaq had 2,819 listed domestic companies, while foreign entities stood at 747. NYSE accounts for 1,848 domestic companies, with the foreign entities standing at 586.
The emergence of alternative markets potentially driving delistings
The report highlights some of the factors impacting the listing and delisting of companies on the U.S. stock exchanges. According to the research report:
“Furthermore, the delisting on U.S. major exchanges might be due to the emergence of new alternative markets, especially in Asia. China and Hong Kong markets have become more appealing, with regulators making local listings more attractive. Over the years, exchanges in the region have strived to emerge as key players amid dominance by U.S. equity markets.”
Over the past, the number of foreign companies listing on U.S. exchanges also surged. Generally, the U.S. has dominated the global equity market with companies aiming to gain liquidity, high potential to raise capital as legitimacy.

Arbuthnot & Co was a mercantile bank, based in Madras, India. It was founded as Francis Latour & Co in the late 18th century, then became Arbuthnot De Monte & Co and failed spectacularly on 22 October 1906.
In the last quarter of 1906, Madras (now Chennai) was hit by the worst financial crisis the city was ever to suffer. Of the three best-known British commercial names in 19th century Madras, one crashed; a second had to be resurrected by a distress sale; and the third had to be bailed out by a benevolent benefactor. The agency house to close shop, Arbuthnot's, was considered the soundest of the three. Parry's (now EID Parry), may have been the earliest of them and Binny and Co.'s founders may have had the oldest associations with Madras, but it was Arbuthnot & Co., established in 1810, that was the city's strongest commercial organization in the 19th Century. When it fell, thousands lost their savings and the good name of British stability was severely rocked.
Arbuthnot & Co had two partners at the time of its failure, namely Sir George Gough Arbuthnot and J.M. Young, a salaried partner who seems to have had no voice in the running of the firm. The firm entered into an arrangement with Patrick Macfadyen who operated P Macfadyen & Co which was effectively Arbuthnot's London branch. Macfadyen engaged in speculation, in the process losing huge amounts of the firm's money. Prior to its collapse, Arbuthnots employed between 11,000 and 12,000 people, had 7,000 creditors and £1,000,000 in liabilities. It was ascertained that the liabilities of Macfadyen's were £400,000 and there were 1,000 creditors. It was agreed by the English trustee in bankruptcy and the official assignee in Madras that the assets of the two insolvent firms were to be treated as one and the same business, all creditors were to be entitled to share rateably in the pooled assets.
Macfadyen committed suicide by throwing himself under a train in 1906, and both firms had to close their doors. Both Macfadyen and Arbuthnot were consistently over-optimistic concerning their speculations.

A memory box is an excellent option to store letters, photographs, and other sentimental objects. Each memory box is unique. Some are brightly colored and extremely individualized, while others are plain and unobtrusive. Consider your child’s or nephew’s own style and how crucial it is to preserve these emotions privately. Are you going to make this special box for yourself or for your youngster? If you are, in fact, making this magical box for your children, follow these creative ways to make one.
Steps To Create The Perfect Memory Box:
Choose a box that appeals to you.
Plastics, cardboard, metals, timber, or any other durable material can be used to construct these boxes. The box might be modest and basic or elegant and costly. Any vessel that houses your experiences can be used as the “box.”
Create a box.
You may create a basic box out of newspaper or a more durable box out of wooden material. The box should be big enough to house all of the “nostalgia” you’d like to cherish. Start planning: you’ll most likely want to add a lot more to this! Design anything at least the size of a storage unit or an antiquated hatbox in broad
Secure the box with a lock.
You don’t have to padlock the box, but it may help you feel more at ease about your stories. If you’re feeling clever, you can include a lock inside the box.
Make a decision on whether or not to adorn the box.
You likely wouldn’t want to do anything with the outside of the box unless you intend to stash it somewhere really secure if you would like to keep it hidden and unobtrusive. But on the other side, you may wish to customize your memory box so that it is immediately identifiable as belonging to the children. If you’re building a memory box for kids, you’ll like to make it bright and design it with their unique requirements.
Placing anything inside the lid is a good idea.
Attach or glue photos or pictures that are important to you. If you are using tape, you may replace the “highlighted memories” with other relevant objects as you go through life and create new connections.
The package should be labeled.
Try putting your initials or the “storyline” of the recollections in painting, ink, or highlighter right on the box. You may also carve out initials and adhere them to the board using adhesive. Try using a copier or a label generator to imprint the text onto stickers. Create a memory box for a particular trip or period of time.
For example, you may construct a memory box to keep all of your photographs, letters, and other mementos from the first day of school or the last day of junior high, the previous school term, or a great vacation.
These are the two creative ways you can build your own memory box for your toddler or any child you might be gifting this box to. Use up all your colors and glitters and have fun making them.

MARCH 26, 2014
Message from the Board of Trustees on Marquette's 24th President
Dear members of the Marquette community:
It is our distinct pleasure to share with you that earlier today the Marquette University Board of Trustees unanimously elected Dr. Michael R. Lovell as the 24th president of Marquette University. Dr. Lovell will begin Aug. 1, 2014, succeeding Interim President Robert A. Wild, S.J.
The entire campus community is invited to a short media availability at 2:30 p.m. today in the AMU, 227, with Dr. Lovell, Father Wild, Rev. Thomas A. Lawler, S.J., of the Wisconsin Province and members of the Presidential Search Committee. Following the media availability, all students are invited to meet with Dr. Lovell at 3:15 p.m. in the AMU, Brew Bayou.
Our selection of Dr. Lovell was the clear choice. First and foremost, a devout Catholic, Dr. Lovell is energized to lead this Catholic, Jesuit university into the future. He brings demonstrated executive-level experience in leading a highly complex educational institution as the current chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a campus with more than 28,000 students, 14 colleges and schools and nearly 1,800 faculty members. During his tenure at UWM, Lovell oversaw the UW-Milwaukee Initiative – a landmark $240 million capital construction and renovation program, including its 89-acre Innovation Campus in Wauwatosa, the expansion of its School of Freshwater Sciences, the first phase of the Kenwood Interdisciplinary Research Complex and the Northwest Quadrangle Redevelopment Plan. Additionally, he opened the Zilber School of Public Health's new academic and research facility and fostered a new sense of entrepreneurship and innovation on the campus and in the greater Milwaukee community.
As we see it, Dr. Lovell is ready to address both the opportunities and challenges we face as a university. An accomplished engineering scholar and researcher, Dr. Lovell embraces our pursuit of academic excellence and providing a transformational student experience. To learn more about Dr. Lovell, please visit marquette.edu/president-elect for the full news release on the announcement, as well as his CV and quick facts about our president-elect.
Later today, President-Elect Lovell will meet with deans, vice presidents, the University Academic Senate, MUSG and representatives from various campus groups, including the Marquette University Alumni Association and Parents Council. Tonight, the Marquette Jesuit Community will welcome Dr. Lovell and his wife Amy with a special Mass and dinner at the Jesuit residence.
This historic day is the result of an intense six-month search process that included input from more than 1,200 members of the Marquette community – faculty, staff, students, alumni, parents and friends. With this input and that of the Board of Trustees, the Presidential Search Committee, comprised of trustees, including a member of the Society of Jesus and for the first time a dean and a member of the faculty, developed the Presidential Position Description that highlighted the key qualifications and attributes of the ideal candidate.
Our recruiting efforts were two-fold. With the help of our national search firm, Witt/Kieffer, and from nominations received from the Marquette community, we identified more than 1,200 lay prospects. Working closely with Jesuit leadership, we also pursued qualified Jesuit candidates. Since January, we focused our efforts, using the Presidential Position Description as a guide, to narrow the list to the most promising candidates. Through a mutual process of discernment and reflection, we ultimately identified the best person to serve as Marquette's next leader.
On behalf of the entire Board of Trustees and the Presidential Search Committee, thank you for your involvement in the search and confidence in our process. We hope you share in our enthusiasm as we welcome Dr. Lovell, Amy and their family to the Marquette community.
We are Marquette,
Charles M. Swoboda, Eng '89
Chair, Marquette University Board of Trustees
John F. Ferraro, Bus Ad '77
Chair, Presidential Search Committee

Palmdale, Ca (PRWEB) February 22, 2013
Many companies find themselves with overstocked items. One company has thought of a to put their overstocked items to good use. Tarps Plus, the Palmdale, California based tarp distributor found themselves within overstock supply of untreated white canvas tarps, as well as some tarp tents. Tarps Plus CEO Michael Stein decided to put these items to good use. The company is collaborating with schools, donating a 30 x 30’ white canvas tarp and a 10’ x 10’ wide pop-up tent. The concept is: Tarps Plus shows up to the school with paint and paint supplies, the tarp and the tent. Children then get to paint the tarp and tent with the teachers. The tarp and tent are donated to the school.
Tarps Plus CEO and founder Michael Stein says, "We were trying to think of a unique way to use our overstocked tarps and tents. What better way than donating them to schools and getting the children involved with painting them?”
The tarps plus truck arrives to the schools, lays out the 30 x 30’ white canvas tarp. The 10 x 10 white pop-up tent is set on top of the tarp. Employees of Tarps Plus lay out paint and supplies for the kids to paint the tent and tarp. Children dip their hands in paint and imprint their hands onto the top of the tent along with the teachers; symbolizing the unity of the students and teachers. The canvas tarp that lies in the ground is used as a free-form of art where the children can paint whatever they want.
Schools use the tarps and tents for fundraisers, assemblies and other various outdoor functions.
Tarps Plus plans to do the program throughout the Southern California area, and eventually the entire state of California. The first tarps for kids program is scheduled for March 28th 2013.
If you are a school and interested in the tarps for kids program, please contact tarps plus at 1-800-838-3057 or visit the website at http://www.tarpsplus.com

A hyperbolic cosine latent trait model for unfolding dichotomous single-stimulus responses
Andrich, D. and Luo, G. (1993) A hyperbolic cosine latent trait model for unfolding dichotomous single-stimulus responses. Applied Psychological Measurement, 17 (3). pp. 253-276.
*Subscription may be required
Social-psychological variables are typically measured using either cumulative or unfolding response processes. In the former, the greater the location of a person relative to the location of a stimulus on the continuum, the greater the proba bility of a positive response; in the latter, the closer the location of the person to the location of the statement, irrespective of direction, the greater the probability of a positive response. Formal probability models for these processes are, respec tively, monotonically increasing and single-peaked as a function of the location of the person relative to the location of the statement. In general, these models have been considered to be independent of each other. However, if statements constructed on the basis of a cumulative model have three ordered response categories, the response function within the statement for the middle category is in fact single-peaked. Using this observation, a unidimen sional model for responses to statements that have an unfolding structure was constructed from the cumulative Rasch model for ordered response categories. A location and unit of measurement parameter exist for each statement. A joint maxi mum likelihood estimation procedure was inves tigated. Analysis of a small simulation study and a small real dataset showed that the model is readily applicable.

LONDON – Aircraft dismantling firm and end of life specialists eCube have opened their first facility in Arizona, United States.
Opening the doors within Coolidge Municipal Airport, it also happens to be just 50 miles away from the well known ‘Aircraft Graveyard’ and storage facility located at Pinal Airpark.
The addition of this site it takes the company up to three locations across Europe and the US along with its headquarters in St Athan, United Kingdom and Castellon, Spain.
At just eleven years old it is a relatively young company, so this expansion proves that since opening their doors, they have been going from strength to strength.
eCube boasts to re-use or recycle 93 per cent of the aircraft that comes into their dismantling hangars, this helping to support and sustain aviation’s ‘circular economy’.
The decision to base themselves in Arizona does not come by chance. eCube can now say it is the only company in the world that covers two of the busiest regions in the world for aircraft dismantling activities, supporting 90% of the global part-out market.
Having facilities at both sides of the Atlantic will ensure a high level of of service, building on what they have been able to provide to its customers out of its UK and Spain hangars in recent years.
“At the forefront of our US expansion plans is the consistency of service, ensuring we replicate the experience our customers have learned to enjoy and rely on at our UK and EU facilities.”
“We also plan to elevate the importance of our industry’s circular economy within the region, focusing on quality aircraft teardowns delivered with expertise and experience,” said Chief Executive Officer, Lee McConnellogue.
The leadership team understood the demand was there through their customer feedback and describe it as a “logical and exciting development in the company’s growth”.
“We underwent an extensive exercise over the past 12 months in speaking with and listening to our customers to understand the optimal location for asset owners of EOL aircraft, this inevitably resulted in eCube planting its flag at a new location in Arizona.” McConnellogue continued.
To coincide with the new facility opening, a Boeing 737-700 was welcomed through the doors on October 5th. The aircraft was managed by leasing company Aero Capital Solutions, a team that has worked closely with eCube in the past.
Kevin VanDenBerg, Senior Vice President of Commercial & Asset Management at ACS, said:
“We are very excited to be working with eCube at their new location in Coolidge. eCube has a terrific customer focus and we have valued their partnership throughout a longstanding working relationship at the UK St. Athan location.”
Chief Commercial Officer for eCube, Steven Taylor predicts an increase in requirement for both aircraft storage and teardown across narrow body and wide body jets as we head toward the back end of 2022 and into 2023.
He said: “The convergence of aircraft utilization and passenger traffic trends to pre-pandemic levels should elevate demand for Used Serviceable Material (USM), and as a key determinant in aircraft EOL evaluations I anticipate a higher level of global retirements (compared to the previous 2 years) to service this need.”

I’ve always felt that one way to judge the popularity that the WECA heroes had during the time that these comics were on the stands (1941-46) would be to look at the number of central cover billings that each one of them got. Today, we are looking back at this era after seven decades and assign special prominence to characters using eyes and attitudes and tastes that have fed on four or five comic era strata and several iterations of moral, cultural, and info-technical “advances.”
For this post let’s stick to the Bell heroes as they appeared on the cover of six of the seven titles; we’ve got to make an exception of The Funny Comics because it featured one central character, Dizzy Don, who got every cover appearance for the 20 issue run with Bell. Also, the first 13 issues of Commando Comics feature generic soldier covers as one would expect and there are a couple of more generic soldier covers in the runs of the other titles (e.g., Dime 18 and 19, Wow 21). So let’s just look at the covers for the runs of Wow, Triumph, Dime, Active, and Joke Comics and see which characters are most featured on their covers.
When the first and only title was Wow Comics, Edmund Legault simply put Dart Daring on every cover, but when Dime and Active Comics came out in Feb. of 1942 (about the time of Wow Comics No. 5 by my estimation), Edmond Good was Art Director and maybe he chose the central cover figure. But by May, 1942 Adrian Dingle had been hired as Art Director and he brought Triumph Comics along with him from Hillborough Studios. From that point on, Dingle was probably making the cover decisions and, in fact, illustrating the majority of them. Throughout this time it’s not clear if Cy Bell had any input as to which hero would be the central figure on each of the covers.
We also know that by 1945 Cy Bell chose to issue a handful of compendium books that included a collection of the text stories from earlier books called Thrilling Stories for Boys, and five other books that each brought together stories of The Phantom Rider, Tang, Spike and Mike, Speed Savage, and Nelvana.
Each one of the hero ones probably contained at least one new, previously unpublished story. But in our context, the important thing to notice is that around the end of the war these must have been the most popular Bell Features characters.
Looking at the run of covers in the six Bell titles excluding The Funny Comics, we find that Rex Baxter had the most central cover features at 16, all in Dime Comics.
He appeared on the first 14 issues of Dime plus issues 21 and 28, more than double the appearances of the next nearest characters, Speed Savage who appeared on 8 Triumph Comics covers (#s 9, 14-15, 17, 20, 22, 26, and 29).
And Nelvana who appeared on another 8 covers of the same comic (#s 2, 7, 12, 18, 21, 25, 27, and 30).
Is this an indication of popularity? Cy Bell was always asking for letters and feedback from readers as to which features and characters they liked the most, so perhaps he or Dingle were guided by this indicators when they chose central figures for the covers.
There are a number of characters with seven central cover appearances. Alphabetically they are: Dart Daring (Wow Comics 1-6, and 11); Dixon of the Mounted (Active Comics 1, 4, 6, 9, 10, 14, and Triumph Comics 24).
Private Stuff (Joke Comics 3-5, 9, 10, 15, and 17). Close behind with six appearances are The Brain (Active Comics 3, 8, 13, 17, 22, and 25).
The Penguin (Wow Comics 16-19, 23, and 25), Spike and Mike (Joke Comics 6-8, 16, 19, and 24), and Tang (Triumph Comics 3, 8, 11, 13, 19, and 23). Crash Carson, Jeff Waring, and Thunderfist only had 4 covers each and Capt. Red Thortan, Dr. Blue and Blackie, Drummy Young, Nitro, and The Wing 3 each.
The glaring omission is Johnny Canuck who, though amongst the highest profile WECA heroes looking back on this period, NEVER received a top cover billing and didn’t merit a compendium in 1945. He did, though, have a couple of 1946 reprints of non-Canadian material named after him and the cover image was a reprint of the Nels Grant cover by Clayton Dexter from Triumph Comics No. 28.
What, then, can we surmise from this Bell Features cover landscape? The war, of course, permeated these comics and this is reflected in the number of covers that had a soldier, airplane, or espionage theme. If we look at all, roughly 190, covers of the seven main titles issued by Bell Features only 44 have a costumed super hero on the cover, meaning that a superhero appeared on the cover of only every fifth issue or so or just over 20% of the time. Yet, it seems to me that, after 70 years, these are the comics that we pay most attention to and that are probably the most collectible.
This is a fact of collecting. Joker covers are the most collectible issues of Detective and Batman Comics, aside from the obvious keys, of course and Nelvana (followed by The Penguin, Thunderfist, Nitro, and Speed Savage as the White Mask) covers appear to be among the most collectible of the Bell Books. Even with the other WECA publishing companies, the costumed hero covers (Iron Man, Brok Windsor, Freelance, Commander Steele, and Canada Jack) seem to be the most collectible issues, again aside from Number 1 keys, etc.
Super heroes were only the tip of the iceberg of what the WECA Whites were about, yet it seems to be the sharpness of this tip that affects us the most today. Even when the war ended there were still about 18 months of Bell Features comics to come out, but the super heroes didn’t take over and none of the former non-costumed heroes became costumed (Rex Baxter became a counter spy, The Young Commandos were reduced to civilian investigators Ruff and Reddy, and Whiz Wallace became a test pilot, even Nelvana gets an alter ego in the form of Alana North and a job as a secret agent) except for one: Doc Stearne became Mr. Monster in the very last panel of his story in the last issue of Triumph Comics.
One thing I noticed in this investigation was that towards the end of the Bell Features WECA run a couple of covers got a little mixed up and were unrelated to the contents of the books they represented.
For example, the Nels Grant cover drawn by Clayton Dexter on Triumph Comics 28 better belongs on the previous issue, No. 27 but Dingle opted out for his own cover representing the encounter of Alana/Nelvana with the Staticites who appear in the Nelvana story.
The other misplaced covers are those for Commando Comics 20 and 22. Commando 20 features a cover that has nothing to do with its own content but represents a Grant Randall story that appears in Triumph Comics No. 29.
Commando 22 has the same problem with a cover not connected to anything in it but instead represents Fred Kelly’s “Ju-Ju Swamp” story in No. 31. Fred Kelly must have done these covers for Triumph Comics originally but Dingle went with his own covers and perhaps decided instead to use them on the Commando issues. I wonder if we’ll ever find out the reasons behind this juggling?
