Musical icon David Rudder shares the secret of Bahia Girl, the aftershocks of the 1990 attempted coup, High Mas and what music says about our lives today.
1990, the cache of guns came in and NO governmetn dealt with the issue, instead CRIME continued to fester, which successive governments politick. The PP opened all the borders and left them with no patrolling and let the guns, drugs and human trafficking to come in and grow. NOW they talking, instead of continuing what the previous government had in place they disbanded everything . Why? who is CRIME working for?
Excellent delivery David Rudder. I thoroughly enjoyed.
This David Rudder interview was a friend to the soul. Quite the historian, entertainer, pioneer, and legend.
For some reason, I also believe that 1990 was a “tipping point”. While A Corey has a very strong point about immunity (Brad Boyce) , somehow it did feel that from the mid-seventies through the 80s we were defining something. Somethung unique and great about Trinidad and the West Indies as a whole. Despite the tremendous problems we had (corruption, drugs etc.) many seemed to have a sense of a brighter future and a sense of destiny and a willingness to contribute to that destiny. I think that 1990, with the subsequent pardons, broke that. Now, we live in a patchwork society. Each man for themself. Amid a cloud of impending doom , particularly with respect to upholding Law. It is difficult to pin down, but, I know that I feel very different about who we are as a people before and after that point in history.
It must also be noted that much of the spike in violent crime came from the escalation of the drug trade which began to take off in the mid-80s and on that note, we must remember that the JAM was one of the few organisations that took on the drug traffickers with the intention of disrupting their operations (some may argue so as to take it over), but there is some merit in what is outlined by people like abu Bakr and Dairius Figueria especially when you consider that the US, since the 1970s has been flooding Jamaica and many South American countries with arms and drugs. Strange how that is left out of most conversations.
Agreed. I have no doubt about what you say. As I hinted above, Brad Boyce. Using Darius Figuera’s writings makes it very clear to me why we continue to suffer the climb in murder rates. (I also have other thoughts on that as it is clear to me that this focus on a few “bad boys” is merely so much smoke) My suggestion is that many, in what we would determine to be middle-class, used to be appalled and willing to fight back against the rise of the elements in the country. By whateber means was available to them. There was a sense of country. Of our unique place in the world. There seemed to be a sense that we had a chance of holding , or even pushing back, the tide. Now, it feels like most have given up, and are willing to see only about themselves. It could be simply coincidence in timing, I guess, but I know a lot of people who also feel the same. The society seems even more fractured. More walls built against each other. A beautiful environment for crime to flourish. | 2019-04-19T10:40:21 | https://wired868.com/2017/12/27/chasing-greatness868-video-david-rudder-on-bahia-girl-uzi-diplomacy-and-high-mas/ |

Summer’s here in full swing and one of my favorite looks this summer are soft, natural looks with corals and peaches. Coral fever is everywhere..from makeup to clothes to footwear! Coral/peach lips paired with a peachy-pink blush instantly give a glow to the face imparting a soft, natural look.
This is the lightest shade of my collection and I do not like it as much as the other 2 shades cos it washes me out a little whereas the other 2 shades especially Lotus Herbals ‘Peach creme’ brighten up my face. More suitable for fair complexions.
This is a true coral shade and a gift from my Mum. Love the shade!
The shade isn’t showing up in the following picture. The true shade is as visible in the swatch above.
This is a peach shade with pink and brown undertones hence easier to pull off. Gives a very bright, fresh look to the face and ‘safe’ peach shade, would suit most complexions.
What are your favorite coral and peach lipsticks? Let me know your comments by replying below. | 2019-04-22T12:01:21 | https://corallista.wordpress.com/category/latest-trends/ |

The Rotacaster is the only multi-directional wheel technology developed primarily as an industrial and commercial floor wheel.
The fixed orientation of the main wheel allows forward and reverse movement without fighting a swivel caster offset, while the peripheral rollers facilitate turning, rotational, lateral and diagonal movement. When navigating turns this also eliminates all skipping associated with fixed wheels.
The Rotacaster's unlimited manoeuvrability makes it a real alternative to a swivel castor and brings a whole new dimension of possibility to the design and functionality of wheeled products. | 2019-04-19T02:59:46 | https://www.factorysupply.com/product/multi-directional-wheels/ |

Kanga-logoâd Qantas is angling to be the most stylish airline in the sky. For the job, they’ve retained design icon Marc Newson.
Native son Newson dabbled with the idea by designing the upper class Skybed seats â complete with built-in shoebox and adapter-free power outlets – in 2003. So successful were they, that now the airline has effectively surrendered its entire image,from flatware to the color of the floors in its lounges to – yep – Newson.
Judging by the first examples of the mashup, the relationship is a happy one — the new First Class lounge at Sydney airport reinvents the concept. Itâs a modish, retro place â the departures are indicated on clackety old-fashioned boards instead of flashing computer screens â with swirling, Star Trekky oak dividers, square Poltrona Frau sofas and a leather-floored library area. Thereâs even a so-called âvertical gardenâ, with plants growing in the walls; it runs through the free, onsite spa, so every treatment room has one wall made entirely of greenery (best one to book for that gratis massage is room 3, the largest).
Next up, Newson will mastermind new business lounges, before his take on the Airbus A380 jumbo debuts next summer. | 2019-04-25T13:22:31 | https://nypost.com/2007/10/04/update-first-class-all-the-way-in-sydney/ |
"Patterns of Life History and Habitat Use of an Important Recreational " by Jonathan P. Williams, Jeremy T. Claisse et al.
Spotfin croakers Roncador stearnsii, a prized recreational catch, were collected throughout the Southern California Bight, primarily as bycatch from a long-term, scientific gill-net collection effort. The maximum otolith-based age in the present study was 24 years—14 years greater than in a previous scale-based aging study. Multiple models were used to estimate mean length at age, including models that utilize larvae as well as juveniles and adults, and the model selection results suggest sexual dimorphism in growth patterns. The juvenile and adult catch per unit effort reflected a clear pattern of habitat selectivity, with fish strongly preferring soft-bottom habitats. Catches in rocky-reef areas were limited but tended to increase with water temperature. The data also suggest that spotfin croakers segregate themselves sexually during the spawning season, when recreational fishing from jetties will target males and fish caught in bays and estuaries are more likely to be spawning females. These results provide further evidence for the importance of protection and restoration efforts for estuaries and bays along this well-developed coastline. The growth of larvae captured in plankton tows in July and September 2004 was substantially faster than that of larvae sampled in May, which coincided with warmer sea surface temperatures, highlighting a potentially important relationship relating temperature (and therefore geography) and settlement success. | 2019-04-22T11:05:47 | https://scholar.oxy.edu/vrg/7/ |
In April 2017, an extraordinary claim of the Israeli security services was published in Ha’aretz (Hebrew): over 400 Palestinians had been detained under suspicion they may be involved in future terrorist attacks. They were detained not on the basis of evidence, but on the decision made by an algorithm.
The practice grew out of a security issue for the Israeli authorities. The so-called “Intifada of the Individuals”, beginning in late 2015, presented the ISA (Israeli Security Agency, AKA Shin Beth) with a quandary. The ISA had spent decades dismantling Palestinian society via a network of informers and intimidation, but those tools, while very useful against any sort of a cell organization, proved helpless in the face of individuals who decided to go on an attack on a whim.
It took the service a few months to recalibrate, and then – most likely with the assistance of Israel’s version of the National Security Agency, the vaunted Unit 8200 – it began analyzing the social media profiles of Palestinians, and deriving from them a series of indicators which, when aggregated, produced a profile of a possible attacker.
The past few years have seen algorithms used to predict the likelihood of a convict returning to crime, and those results were used to determine whether that person is worthy of parole. Those systems, when checked, often show proof of bias – for instance, against African Americans in the United States. At least the systems used by the American justice system can be challenged; US courts are now dealing with several appeals by prisoners whose sentencing or parole refusal were determined by algorithms.
But when it comes to the military justice system as applied to Palestinians, the situation becomes much more twisted than in the U.S. Who precisely is going to oversee a system developed and used by the ISA?
As John Brown and Noam Rotem noted (Hebrew), the fact that someone fits such a profile – for instance, he praised attackers and changed his profile picture – does not in any way serve as evidence a court will accept. Basically we are asked to believe a system, of which we know nothing, may accurately predict the actions of a specific person in the future, and, on the verdict of said system, we may then detain that person – not for something he did, or even planned to do, but for something he may do.
The first option is to get around the courts: when a Palestinian is detained by algorithm predicting future actions, the security services simply put him under administrative detention. This basically means no legal process: the military commander of the West Bank rubber-stamps an order actually issued by the ISA, and the person is thus sentenced to six months incarceration with no possibility of appeal. After six months, the general may rubber-stamp the detention order again, ad infinitum; people have served long years without ever seeing a court.
This draws attention, however, and as Brown and Rotem noted, Israeli lawyers of Palestinians noticed a new pattern: when someone is arrested by algorithm, he is charged with “incitement.” The level of proof required is quite low. Even supporting a Palestinian armed group online may suffice. The smoking gun is what happens in the rare cases when an algorithm detainee is acquitted: then he is almost immediately put into administrative detention, i.e. the one without any judicial oversight.
So, basically: A computer program whose biases may never be discovered, as it is a state secret, decides that a person may commit a crime; the person is then detained, but is not informed of the real evidence against him or her, as there is no valid evidence; he or she is then charged with the faux crime of “incitement”, and, should the judge refuse to be a cypher and acquit the person, the person is thrown into the maws of a technically lawless system of administrative detention.
All the while, the prisoner is repeatedly told they should confess to the phantom crime of “incitement”: they are informed that should they confess, they will be given a relatively light sentence – but should they plead innocence, they will be held in detention until the process is over. That may take several years; the offered sentence is lesser. So, our software says you’re guilty. Do you want to take it to court and go home after five years, or confess and go home after three?
While this particular legal twist may only be used against Palestinians, the algorithm itself is not so limited. Former Unit 8200 soldiers are highly-sought-after programmers, and what they know is surveillance. The systems used for practice against Palestinians are often later sold to other countries. Your local police department may soon acquire one.
Do you have a documented history of protest? Do you dislike the president? The government in general? Israeli-made software may soon be secretly cataloguing it.
A major part of the problem, of course, is the fact that we have become used to sharing information on social media platforms that collect numerous data points about us. We have done so willingly, for ephemeral benefits: we have forged the bars of our own cell.
And yet, for all that, someone is shaping the bars into a cell, and we better stop it soon – because doing so from within will be infinitely more difficult. We should not accept the normalization of tools used by a military dictatorship against an occupied people.
“But even if human intelligence begins to dry up, Israeli officials point out that they built up wide ranging communication and surveillance system. In addition, no fewer than a thousand members of the police force 29,000 strong are involved in monitoring the Internet and social media sites.
Obviously, UK democracy is more democratic than Israeli “democracy” preventive detention is not yet used for pre-crime, like in Israel, or Turkey, although it has been tried on Samina Malik in UK in 2007.
When that Israeli general came to speak at Brown University, I remember he summarized the ‘research findings’ regarding the ‘profile of a terrorist’ — the profile that presumably underlies the algorithm. One criterion is that the ‘terrorist’ is likely to be young and single: he does not yet have family responsibilities. Another is that he is likely to be related to someone who has been arrested and tortured by the Israelis, especially a brother, father, or other close relative, so that he has a motive for revenge. This points in the direction of arresting entire families, as in North Korea.
Another is that he is likely to be related to someone who has been arrested and tortured by the Israelis, especially a brother, father, or other close relative, so that he has a motive for revenge.
Yes, the self licking ice cream cone.
This system also shows the often overlooked 3rd use of detention and torture: in addition to ‘punishment, and ‘intelligence gathering’, torture produces the conversion event. See the Inquisition. You must come to love your captor and prove your love by becoming a quisling. That’s the real purpose of the various GWOT torture sites: conversion through trauma, catch and release.
Disturbing, at the very least. I am reminded of Brave New World and 1984. Modern Israel and Palestine will need much more than a truth-in-reconciliation commission.
Suspect same algorithm is used in the dreadfully increasing summary executions at checkpoints.
A further advancement in Israel’s matrix of control which it exports to other countries. We are at the end of an era, and as the world drifts into PLANNED chaos, control of crumbling societies during desperate times will be critically important to the elites who wish to maintain their power and privilege. There is more to the social media than meets the eye. And the US Constitution an increasingly worthless parchment barrier.
After months of trial postponement, Josef K goes to court painter Titorelli to ask for advice. He is told to hope for little. He might get definite acquittal, ostensible acquittal, or indefinite postponement. No one is ever really acquitted, but sometimes cases can be extended indefinitely.
P.S. Woe be unto anyone who dares to question a divinely inspired algorithm, for G-d will surely smite them with a heightened vengeance! To be on the safe side, it is best to just assume that all algorithms are sacred.
I’m an errand girl for algorithm, send me. | 2019-04-24T10:48:25 | https://mondoweiss.net/2017/07/orwell-arrest-algorithm/ |

Stayed at Marytown, also known as The National Shrine of St. Maximilian Kolbe- amazing!
Taped a radio show with Fr. Francis all about vocations, of course!
Had delicious deep dish pizza with 12 awesome college seminarians from St. Joseph College Seminary at Loyola University. Please say a Hail Mary for each of them!
Then, the big day arrived. I can’t tell you how excited I was to speak with the 425 priests of Chicago in attendance! They received the Vocation Ministry message well and bought many books! Praise God! I sat next to Cardinal Cupich as a bonus! I love subtle (and not so subtle) hints from the Holy Spirit. The antiphon we sang (Holy Spirit, Come to Us)! The Holy Spirit was with us!
Another standout was that only 28% knew what to do to learn more or how to explore a vocation to the priesthood or religious life further. | 2019-04-22T22:15:04 | https://www.vocationministry.com/about/blog/208-chicago-priests |

This chapter gives an introduction of Petri nets, its applications and security challenges. Petri nets are a graphical and mathematical modeling tool available to many systems. Once a system is modeled as a Petri net, the behavior of the system can be simulated by using tokens on the Petri net. Petri nets' abundant techniques can be used to solve many problems associated with the modeled system. This chapter gives formal definitions, properties and analysis methods of Petri nets, and gives several examples to illustrate some basic concepts and successful application areas of Petri nets. Then this chapter presents Petri nets based challenges to security such as Intrusion Detection System, security policy design and analysis, and cryptography tool.
We first introduce formal definitions, properties and analysis methods of Petri nets. These are based on the many books, surveys, and research papers. The most popular introductory books are Refs. (Peterson, 1981), (Desel, 1995), and (Reisig, 2013). The most important survey is Ref. (Murata, 1989). | 2019-04-24T08:34:38 | https://www.igi-global.com/chapter/introduction-of-petri-nets/153075 |

The Kalamazoo Wings are in the middle of the off season but they landed a new player this week with the completion of a trade from March with The Reading Royals.
The Kalamazoo Wings wrapped up their season last month and as the team heads into the off season, they are auctioning off many of their game worn jerseys.
The ECHL season is almost half way over and the league recently announced the rosters for the all star game. This year the game will feature a player from Kalamazoo.
After their recent affiliation with the Tampa Bay Lightning and Syracuse Crunch, the Kalamazoo Wings have announced a new affiliation agreement with the Vancouver Canucks.
It is never too early to stock up on your Kalamazoo Wings gear. The team is currently hosting a jersey sale on their website. | 2019-04-24T21:17:48 | https://wrkr.com/tags/echl/page/2/ |

New perspectives on player skill and behavior.
This project introduces new defensive metrics for the NBA, based on statistical modeling of optical player tracking data. We introduce counterpoints--a measure of "points against" for defenders--as well as defensive shot charts, which track how defenders impact shot selection and effectiveness throughout the court.
This project uses optical player tracking data to estimate, in real time, the expected number of points obtained by the end of a possession. This quantity, called expected possession value (EPV), derives from a stochastic process model for the evolution of a basketball possession, and acts as a stock ticker of a possession's value as it unfolds. By tracking EPV, we are able to quantify the effect of every action, movement, and decision made during a game, revealing new ways in which players affect their teams' possession outcomes.
Tools for generating intelligent inferences from advances in sports data and analytics.
While new sports metrics are changing our understanding of the sport, they can also make finding the right metric to support a particular decision like finding a needle in a haystack; this clutter threatens the untility of advances in sports analytics. Meta-Analytics analyzes sports statistics themselves, and introduces metrics for metrics: reliability, discrimination, and independence.
Modeling NBA shot attempt data as a point process, we create a low dimensional representation of offensive player types using non-negative matrix factorization (NMF), an unsupervised dimensionality reduction technique. The spatial representations discovered by the algorithm correspond to intuitive descriptions of NBA player types, and can be used to model other spatial effects, such as shooting accuracy.
Identifying and learning from set plays, tactics, and coordinated movement of teammates.
Throughout the NBA, coaches consistently stress the importance of ball movement in a functional and efficient offense: “either you move it or you die,” according to San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. To test Pop's theory, we introduce entropy and opportunity metrics, and show how teams and players balance capitalizing on immediate shot opportunities with entropic strategies yield better scoring opportunities down the line.
Every NBA team employs a small army of scouts, video coordinators, and analysts to dissect the strategic tendencies of their competition. This project integrates optical player-tracking data with emerging computational methods to offer a brand new scouting mechanism for the so-called “big data” era. Integrating new techniques in machine learning, statistics, and visualization, we "reverse engineer" the playbook for every team in the NBA, easily finding each similar instance of a particular play's ball and player movement.
Continuously throughout a basketball possession, offensive and defensive players battle for control of different regions of the basketball court. From this competitive dynamic alone, we can infer the implicit value of positioning and spacing among NBA players and teams. This allows us to quantify the NBA court real estate market, enabling new insights and metrics for both offense and defense.

Whether you are a retailer who is expanding into the arena of Amazon, an entrepreneur with an existing product, an experienced Amazon seller scaling your business, or you are just getting started as an Amazon seller; there are tools currently available to get you launched like a pro. And if you are already listing on Amazon, these tools will take your business to another level. The tools we will overview will optimize, automate and streamline every facet of your Amazon seller page.
In today’s complex, competitive and crowded Amazon marketplace gaining a competitive advantage is much more than getting your product listed and then waiting for the orders to start rolling in.
Contrary to what many may say, to be successful on Amazon is not an easy task. At first glance, it appears to be a simple, easy and fast way to get products listed and sold. To be successful requires careful planning, precise execution, strategic decision making, persistence, and patience.
Depending on the loftiness of your dreams, goals, and ambitions without the proper tools in place you are going to increase the amount of time you spend on mundane and repetitive tasks and lower profits and productivity while your competition is using every angle they can to gain a competitive advantage.

Quickly get paid and refunded for damaged or returned items.
Monitor reviews and respond to them quickly and efficiently.
Maximize the amount of automation that is available to optimize your product listings.
As a quick benchmark of your knowledge of selling on the Amazon platform, if any of this information is foreign or unfamiliar to you then this is the perfect indicator that you need these tools and secondly, you are now aware of some of the complexities that are involved in being a successful seller on Amazon.
The audience and reach of Amazon is massive and can be overwhelming. The competition is fierce, and the one’s that are succeeding and rising above the pack are the ones that purchase and implement the tools that are available to them through relevant software tools. Almost every platform has been created as a result of an experienced Amazon seller looking to make their Amazon store more productive and profitable and because the marketplace did not have these tools available.
When these software platforms get implemented into your business, you will begin to see immediate results and will be on your way to positioning yourself as a top retailer in a competitive and crowded marketplace.
These are tools that every Amazon seller should have to automate, assist and equip their business for profitability. So as not to show favorability or endorsement of any of the tools we have listed the software tools in alphabetical order.
Jacob Heinz is the founder and CEO of Amzsuite. This program is designed to help you maximize your Amazon profits and includes three tools designed specifically to help you accomplish this. Below is a detailed description of the three tools and how they can help your business.
Refund Rescuer – Every Time a customer initiates a refund request, Refund Rescuer will log and track this refund for 45 days. It automates the reconciliation of your refund and makes sure the person has returned the product and Amazon has credited you for that product. If Amazon does not return the money to you, Refund Rescuer will automatically open a case for you.
If you have been selling for a while, the program will go back 365 days to see if any refunds are due to you. It is important to note that you will not want to open more than 3 cases at a particular time. If you do submit more, you run the risk of Amazon bundling and escalating these cases. Refund Rescuer maximizes the number of reimbursements, with minimal headaches from Amazon.
Inventory Salvager– Once you find that you have damaged inventory an 11-day timer is triggered to make sure that Amazon reimburses you. If you are not reimbursed within this time frame, the program will file a case on your behalf to ensure you are reimbursed. This suite will monitor the inventory that you have on Amazon. 1.50 base on a per unit. if they get you reimbursed for a damaged product. “One-offs” you get a $50 credit to begin.

Greg Mercer is the CEO and founder of Jungle Scout, one of the most popular software tools on Amazon. This program is for people that want to import products and private label them through Amazon’s FBA program. In it’s most simple definition, this software program helps you to identify profitable products to list online.

Jungle Scout has both a web application site and a Chrome Browser Extension to assist in this process. The web app identifies products that have potential, and the Chrome Browser Extension analyzes each of your selected products.
The Product Database: JS has recreated Amazon’s catalog down to the categories, filters, size tier and fulfillment type and you can either include or exclude keywords.

It begins tracking on the date that you create it and it takes 48 hours to accumulate data. Once you have several products in a category, you can start to use the data.You can create categories to sort out different niches you may be interested in.
Average demand – how many sales you can expect to get on a monthly basis based on the sales of the top 10 products in that niche.
Average price – is the average price of the top 10 sellers.
Opportunity score – is a combination of the demand, competition and listing quality. Helps in determining what products would be right to sell.

Last week, Joanne Proulx, Fred Jennings and Joseph Pugliese took a cheque for $52,880.80 to the LaSalle borough office.
The payment covered Royal Canadian Legion Branch 212 property taxes for 2013 and 2014, half of the organization’s water tax for 2015, and a $45 Federal Express charge for delivering a demand letter.
“We withdrew all the money from a GIC we had set aside for building repairs,” said Fred Jennings, who is president of the branch.
Jennings said that most of the money for the payment originally came from Bell Canada, which paid for a long-term servitude on the property. Members had planned to use the funds to repair the brickwork and otherwise update their building.
Instead, they’ll be scrambling to continue paying property taxes, which are now ten times what they were in 2012. The non-profit lost the right to reduce its property tax under Subsection 204 (10) of the Municipal Tax Act last year, after it was unsuccessful at proving that every inch of the building it occupies is used for purposes that the Quebec Government recognizes as charitable.
Several Legions have found this exercise difficult. The Legion branch in Verdun downsized, in part due to difficulties in paying the taxes it owed. At least one branch in Laval disbanded. Other non-profits, including the Pointe Claire Curling Club, successfully retained their status despite arguments by City of Montreal lawyers.
Branch 212 in LaSalle hopes that they it be able to requalify for tax-exempt status by the time its 2016 tax bill arrives.
In the meantime, withdrawing enough money from the bank to write a cheque to the City of Montreal was the first official action by Proulx, who became treasurer of the branch on the first of April.
To help the Legion raise funds, drop off a cheque at the bar at 7771 Bouvier or call 365-0595.

ATHENS, Ga. — There was a plan and no reason for Stetson Bennett to think he would deviate from that plan. Georgia was part of a past life. A past life where he left regret and had been unfulfilled, but the past nonetheless.
This was the beginning of the early signing period and Bennett, who had dreamed of playing quarterback at Georgia but had transferred out because he saw no path to his dream, was going to sign with a Sun Belt school.
Then Bennett woke up that mid-December morning and looked at his phone. He looked at the missed calls. Kirby Smart. James Coley. | 2019-04-21T04:56:05 | https://theathletic.com/896961/2019/03/30/stetson-bennett-georgia-once-in-a-lifetime-quarterback/?source=rss |

In answer to the Helicopter Industry’s need for qualified Pilots, and in an effort to attract new talent to the industry, the Helicopter Foundation International is sponsoring four (4) Commercial Helicopter Pilot Scholarships. The scholarship will open July 1, 2012.
Up to four (4) Scholarships of up to $5,000 each may be awarded.
Payment of scholarship monies is conditional upon receipt of supporting documentation from the attended school that the student has successfully completed the required coursework and has been licensed and received an FAA Commercial Helicopter Pilot Certificate from a certified FAA Part 141 school or international equivalent. If the school has not been compensated by the student, the HFI will make payment to the institution on behalf of the student, up to the maximum limit of the scholarship awarded.
In the event that the student was previously invoiced by the school and has completely paid in advance, the HFI will reimburse the student directly, up to the maximum limit of the scholarship awarded. The application must be typed or legibly handwritten. All questions must be answered completely. Incomplete application packages will be rejected.
A letter from your school certifying that they are an FAA certified Part 141 school or international equivalent.
Winners will be notified by phone and by mail, and they (or their representative) will be encouraged to attend Helicopter Association International’s HELI-EXPO 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada. A complimentary one-year HAI membership and a complimentary Full Registration to HELI-EXPO 2013, for Scholarship Winner and guest, including dinner for two at the HAI Salute to Excellence Awards Banquet will be awarded with each scholarship, courtesy of Helicopter Association International. Attendance at HELI-EXPO® affords the scholarship winner the opportunity to attend the Helicopter Pilots Mentoring Panel and the Industry Outreach to Students Mentoring Panel, as well as the opportunity to meet and talk with helicopter professionals from around the world.
Winners will be required to provide a name and phone number for a point of contact at the school, and an address to which the letter confirming the intent to remit funds may be sent upon award of certificate. Winners will be required to complete their training and receive their rating within one year of date of acceptance and abide by all scholarship rules.
This scholarship, funded by the HFI and supporting organizations and individuals, provides up to $5,000 to assist a candidate, who currently holds a private helicopter pilot license to obtain a commercial helicopter rating. A primary determinant will be evidence of the applicant’s skill and ability to be a commercial helicopter pilot and interest in pursuing a career as a pilot in the helicopter industry.
Scholarship funds will only be applied to tuition costs. Scholarship winners are responsible for their own transportation and ancillary expenses (books, meals, lodging).
Any portion of scholarship money over and above the student’s tuition must be sent directly back to HFI.
Scholarship monies will be paid upon award of an FAA Commercial Helicopter Pilot Certificate. Written notification of FAA Certificate along with a copy of the certificate must be sent to HFI at 1635 Prince Street, Alexandria, VA 22314.

Dave Woodhall talks to blues voice extraordinaire Lisa Mills.
I’ve been raving about Lisa Mills ever since I saw her fronting Big Brother & the Holding Company around fifteen years ago. Her voice and her stage presence electrified the audience and I’ve seen her solo shows many times since, but this was the first chance I’ve ever had to talk to her.
I’d say welcome to England but you’ve played here so many times you must like the place already.
You have a devoted fanbase here. People who like your music really do love it; dare I say you almost have a cult following.
The first time you played here was the tour with Big Brother. You played the old Robin at Merry Hill and it seemed that everyone in the room, their jaws dropped when you started singing.
Have you ever thought about doing another Janis Joplin set?
You had bass player Ian Jennings with you for a long while but you haven’t worked with him for a few years. Who are you playing with on this tour?
It is, as I say to virtually everyone who’s ever played there before, a venue where you’ve had some great night.
It’s all a bit different to growing up in Mississippi.
You really are getting to think like a local. But where you did grow up, you’ve said you were rooted in gospel and rock’n’roll, although I suppose that in that area all the different forms of music – you can throw blues, soul and country in there as well – are much the same.
It seems sad to me that the area where you’re from doesn’t seem to respect its own heritage particularly well. It’s the birthplace of Western music and yet it’s often overlooked by the local people.
“It’s true. As an American musician I’ve learned that coming over here many people in Europe know more about my musical heritage that I did. When I’ve been travelling with musicians I’d be talking about songs I remember from my childhood and they’d tell me who wrote them, who recorded them, when and where. Thousands of miles away, years later, I’d find out about the songs from when I was young.
Talking of change, have you noticed a change in the way audiences appreciate the blues since you first played over here?
“I guess that because I’ve been coming over so long I’ve become familiar, comfortable. When I first started playing in Britain one of the things that struck me was how quiet the audiences were. I was worried they weren’t liking it, they weren’t getting into it. Then when I finished the show they’d come up and tell me how much they loved it.
“The other thing I notice was that at first I would be booked to play a blues club and when I got there it was almost like a classroom. Everyone was seated and they were all watching intently, and they knew all the trivia about the music, whereas if I play blues in a club back in the South, everyone would be drinking and talking and enjoying it that way. | 2019-04-21T10:41:48 | http://thebirminghampress.com/2019/01/born-with-the-blues/ |
I told you last week I would be back to show you the rest of my laundry room makeover. I'm not sure we should go so far as calling it a makeover. It is more some laundry room ideas for storage and organization as well as adding a little pretty to my laundry room.
I'll start by spoiling the surprise and showing you the after. Doesn't it look so pretty and cheery? After I cleaned the wire shelves last week, I wanted to add something pretty to make my laundry room a little more pretty and more cheery. It wasn't so cheery.
It was fine and functional and organized. At least it was organized to me. I knew exactly where things went and had spots for all the things we use. But I knew, from all the pretty pictures on Pinterest and the blogs I read, that I could add a little something else. I spent some time looking for inexpensive baskets with color because I really wanted some color.
Now just in case you've noticed, yes those are a few of my race medals hanging in the laundry room. I'm a runner and those are finisher medals. I haven't figured out another way to display them yet, so I'm super classy and hang them in the laundry room. Another project for another day.
I found the flower baskets at Five Below. I knew when I saw them that they were perfect for what I wanted. I also knew that a whole room of the flowers would be too much. I looked high and low for something that I liked to add with them. I finally ended up with these white weave baskets from Target. I have long loved these bins. They were a little bit more than I ideally wanted to spend. I actually started pricing only the white weave baskets and it was going to be too much money. So, in the end by adding the more inexpensive baskets from Five Below, I was able to have the white that I wanted, the color and fun that I wanted and bring the price down to a level that worked for me. Love it when a win/win solution happens!
While everyone in my family knows what towels and rags go where, I decided to add labels because they are fun and add more color. To me, they also look like I had a professional organizer come by. 😉 I tied the tags to the white weave bins with baker's twine.
Next to the dish towels and cloths, I have my laundry supplies and laundry detergent. Now my laundry detergent in its cute bin looks like it fits in the laundry room.
Speaking of my laundry detergent. Quite a while ago, I wrote about making my own Fast and Easy Homemade Laundry Detergent. When I wrote the post, I had no idea how long the detergent would last. I was guessing 6 months. It ended up lasting 7 months. 7 months of detergent, doing 1 load per day, for $12!!! Can't beat that!
For the flower baskets, I used a clothes pin to attach the labels.
On the other side of the shelf, I have all our rags. I have them divided up by size. We have large rags (old sheets and towels), medium rags (old dish towels), and small rags (old dish cloths and washcloths). We also have our dust cloths here. All the things for cleaning together on one side, easy for anyone to reach what they need. I also keep our odd recycled items, things like batteries and printer cartridges, in here until they are ready or enough to go to be recycled.
If only cleaning were as fun and cute as these bins and baskets make it seem. lol!
I love the pop of color both the baskets and tags add to the room. The details of the clothespins and baker's twine are fun to me as well.
I'm so happy with the changes I made to the laundry room! It just makes it so nice to go in there now….not fun per say as I still don't like laundry, but at least I enjoy the view now.
Now if my husband would only take the hints I have been giving forever and paint the laundry room as a present for me. This kids have gotten the hints, but not Mr. T. In his defense, I think he has gotten the hint that I want him to paint the laundry room, he just doesn't want to. I can't blame him. I don't want to do it either, it seems like a huge pain. That is why I keep asking for him to do it. 😉 Someday, someday!
Have you ever painted a laundry room? Is it a total pain? Our laundry room is small and also has a huge water heater(i.e. we can't open the door to the laundry room all the way because of the water heater) in it that seems like it will be a challenge to paint around. What do you think?
Great job, makes me want to do laundry.
Thanks! If it really makes you want to do laundry, you can come on over and do the laundry right here…laundry just stinks!
Looks great! My laundry room is in the utility closet that is unfinished in the basement. It will never be pretty! My hubby is bugging me to create a way to display his medals. I have it in my brain…just haven’t had the time to get the supplies and make it.
Boo that you can’t pretty up your laundry room. If you do make the way to display the medals, I would love to see it.
Squeal! I love a good laundry room makeover! I think those baskets with the flowers are too cute! Thanks for sharing at Pinworthy Projects.
Thank you, Carrie! I love them…they are so bright and cheery, just what I need when faced with laundry!
that looks great and the laundry room is as good a place as any to keep your race medals!
Thanks, Dara! At least by keeping them in the laundry room I see them daily and remind myself of the current goal…which right now is my 10k tomorrow morning. This race doesn’t give out medals though…boo!
Great job! I love the bright colors you picked for the totes. It makes laundry not seem quite so bad.
My laundry room needs a makeover! Cute ideas!!
Thanks! Good luck with yours.
I love the bright colors. I’m your newest follower. I would love for you to come by and share this on Fluster Creative Muster Party. It starts tomorrow at 6pm EST. Hope to see you there!
Thanks! I’m enjoying the bright colors.
So cute! I love the bright colors, too! I would love for you to link up at my craft party SHOW-licious Craft Showcase.
Love your laundry room updates! I would be ticked if you joined the Pretty Things Link Party (live now) and shared your fab ideas KC!!
So pretty! I love the pink and orange color scheme! Thanks for sharing, KC! Have a great week!
Thank you! I’m enjoying the pink and orange as well…such happy colors.
I love all the bright colors. Maybe if my laundry room had brighter happier colors I’d want to spend more time in there. 🙂 New follower.
Thanks! I’m enjoying the bright colors, too. I still don’t want to spend tons of time in there, but at least it looks a little better now.
Isn’t funny how the littlest things make the day brighter? Your laundry room looks so cute. Well done with the baskets and bins!
Yes, it sure is the little things that help brighten a day! Thank you for your sweet comments.
You are welcome…I hope you figure out what you want and make yourself a lovely laundry room!
Thank you! Isn’t making your own detergent the best secret ever! It saves so much money and is so easy! Thanks for the link to the liquid.
Lovely! I love the baskets!!!
Looks super cute and functional! I love those floral baskets, such fun vibrant colors.
Thank you! I’m enjoying the color…it makes it slightly more fun to do laundry. | 2019-04-24T00:11:54 | https://www.realcoake.com/laundry-room-ideas/ |

Same as in English. Many words do not have an equivalent, so you use the same words as the origin. For Jack Russell Terrier, that is English (Brittish).

Here are five critical qualities of great leaders and how they can help you be a great leader -- or colleague, or family member, or friend -- as well.
Clearly, as Antoine de Saint-Exupery, author of The Little Prince, suggested, great leaders are inspiring. It's generally true that you know great leaders when you see them -- but what, exactly, are their characteristics? Here are five key characteristics and groups of characteristics to consider.
See which of them you might have, and which you might be able to develop or develop further, as they may help you get ahead in your professional (and even your personal) life.
This first characteristic of a great leader encompasses a host of similar ones, such as honesty, integrity, candor, transparency, and accountability. If you're the leader of a company, your underlings as well as those outside the company should get the sense that they can trust you. They need to believe that what you say is true and that you're not hiding things. They need to know that you are ethical and hold yourself accountable.
Laura Rittenhouse has made a career out of studying and writing about candor among CEOs. In analyzing CEO letters to shareholders, she has found that about a quarter of CEOs communicate clearly and with candor, discussing their business's progress with honesty. At the other end of the spectrum, around 25% to 30% of CEOs are "incomprehensible and so riddled with jargon that it's hard to understand what they're communicating." Warren Buffett is often presented as a great example of a candid CEO. In his 1996 letter to shareholders, for example, he cautioned investors in his huge company that "our past rates of growth cannot be matched nor even approached." In 1998, he lamented some investment decisions, noting, "Overall, you would have been better off last year if I had regularly snuck off to the movies during market hours."
Great leaders are inspirational, but how, precisely do they inspire us? Well, in several ways. They tend to have great passion for the work they do, and this dedication and enthusiasm can be contagious. Being authentic and honest, as described above, can also be inspiring, making others want to be authentic and honest, too.
They're often generous, too, and not in the sense of giving money away. (Though they might do that, too -- Buffett, for example, has given away tens of billions of dollars.) Instead, they're generous giving credit to those who work for them and generous in taking blame themselves instead of pointing at others. They're generous in caring about their workforce and having empathy for others. They want their workers to have a work-life balance and to feel valued. (Happy employees have long been tied to above-average productivity, with one recent study suggesting that happy workers are, on average, 12% more productive, while unhappy ones are about 10% less productive.) Generous leaders are generous with their time, their attention, and with information. (Having more information can help those below the leader make better decisions and feel more invested in their work, instead of feeling left out or confused.) They're generous with forgiveness, too, when necessary.
Of course, a leader may have great passion and great integrity, but if she's not a good (or, better still, great) communicator, then she will be less effective. Some ways of being a great communicator include reaching your audience at their level and not using fancier words than you need to or many more words than you need to -- these are true both for speaking and for writing. Think, for example, of Abraham Lincoln and how effective his Gettysburg Address was, despite being just 273 words long. Warren Buffett, meanwhile, has explained that when he writes his annual letter (and he actually does write his, while some CEOs will delegate that task), he imagines writing it to his sister, who is more of an ordinary person than a Wall Street analyst.
When communicating with employees, great leaders need to convey what the company's strategy is, why it makes sense, and how it's progressing over time, among other things. Great leaders will know what their audience is thinking or worrying about and will address such concerns. It's important to remember that what isn't said can be very important, too. Thus, the qualities above -- candor, generosity, etc. -- come into play here. It's also effective to keep in mind how your audience is feeling and to be aware of the effect your communication is having. As Maya Angelou famously observed, "People will forget what you said and did, but they will never forget how you made them feel."
A sense of humor can be quite effective in communication, too. Consider the widely beloved Ronald Reagan. Speaking at the 1992 Republican National Convention, he quipped that, "according to the experts, I have exceeded my life expectancy by quite a few years. Now this is a source of great annoyance to some, especially those in the Democratic Party."
Up next is confidence, which can be demonstrated in a variety of ways. Great leaders typically are quite confident in themselves and their abilities, and are ideally also confident of the abilities of those who work under them. This breeds a positive attitude, which can be inspiring and infectious.
When great leaders exhibit confidence in their workers or followers, it also reflects trust and respect -- they respect them and trust them to do what they need to do. In turn, this can build trust in and respect for the leader. Confidence is especially important in times of crisis when people will look to the leader for reassurance and inspiration.
A leader instills confidence and "followership" by having a clear vision, showing empathy and being a strong coach. As a female leader, to be recognized I feel I have to show up with swagger and assertiveness, yet always try to maintain my Southern upbringing, which underscores kindness and generosity. The two work well together in gaining respect.
Lastly, great leaders need to be open-minded -- eager to read and listen and learn, and willing to change. Open-minded leaders welcome others' thoughts and suggestions and really listen (as opposed to just hearing). Think about how rapidly many industries change. A leader can't know everything, so he or she should be willing to hear about how the company might adapt and change and tweak (or overhaul) its current strategy. Humility can help a CEO understand that others have a lot to contribute, too.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Warren Buffett again serves as a great example. He had had success by only investing in very undervalued companies, but by being open-minded to the perspective of his friend Charlie Munger, he came around to sharing the belief that it's better to pay a fair price for a great company than a great price for a fair company. That helped his company grow much faster over the long run.
Great leaders need to be willing to change course when needed. Some years ago, for example, it started becoming clear that the Internet was going to change how many companies did business. Those that adapted more quickly had an advantage over those that dragged their feet or stuck with their original plans.
The characteristics above are among the most important ones you'll find in great leaders. Consider developing some of them in yourself and your personal and business life. Open-mindedness and honesty can pay off in your family life, for example, while communicating more clearly and being more confident can pay off at work. | 2019-04-19T07:10:44 | https://www.fool.com/careers/2017/05/04/5-characteristics-of-a-great-leader.aspx?utm_campaign=article&utm_medium=feed&referring_guid=daa900bb-c22c-4c91-9b43-3e4ef2ca6c22&utm_source=newscdlnk0000001 |

Bank of England boss Mark Carney seems to have aroused a contentious furore in the Brexit hierarchy.
They strongly oppose his observations regarding his presumptuous economic shocks.
This uplift for the “stay in” brigade will be like food and drink to the Prime Minister.
It will be reiterated loud and clear in his relentless tirade against the Brexits.
Senior Cabinet ministers have already suggested that Cameron should be preparing for a possible exit strategy.
It should be his duty.
With his stubborn refusal even to contemplate any such results, his efforts and concentration in this direction are liable to be very half-hearted and negative.
Therefore a separate body could be introduced to make absolutely certain that the correct and proper procedure be introduced immediately.
In a nutshell, to remain in the EU and be governed forever by foreign bureaucrats in Brussels, costing £55million a day, the future prospect for this once great country is too frightening to contemplate.
The British people deserve to have their country back. | 2019-04-19T12:39:43 | https://www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/news/your-say/deserve-to-get-country-back-1-7802169 |

Tuesday nights in the early 1970’s meant one thing in my house: “Happy Days”. I wasn’t the only one who loved the show: my parents, having spent their teenaged years in the 1950’s, were also huge fans of Richie, Potsie, Ralph Malph, Joanie, Mr. and Mrs. C, and–of course–The Fonz.
A couple of years after “Happy Days” premiered, “Laverne & Shirley” spun off and joined the Tuesday night lineup on ABC.
I always wanted to be Laverne: assertive, outgoing, and sassy. One Halloween I even dressed up as Laverne, and a friend of mine who was cuter and much smaller than I dressed up as Shirley. Seriously.
So, knowing that, you might have a smidgen of an idea how excited my sister and I were to learn that the two theaters in town that host celebrities on a regular basis (Hollywood Boulevard and Hollywood Palms: the same theaters where we met Burt Reynolds earlier this year) were having a weekend event featuring the movies “American Graffiti”, “Night Shift”, and “A League of Their Own”, HOSTED BY Cindy Williams, Henry Winkler, and Penny Marshall. We purchased tickets to see “American Graffiti” immediately, since Jim nor my sister (who I thought had seen every movie on earth) had never seen it. Our tickets were for Saturday night, and Julesie and I decided to go stand in line to meet Henry, Cindy, and Penny on Friday so we wouldn’t be in danger of missing our movie.
The celebrities normally arrive about an hour before the first showing of whatever movie they are hosting, which put arrival time on Friday at about 6:00 p.m., so naturally we got there and took our place in line at 4:00. (What?) We had waited in line for Burt Reynolds for a little more than two and a half hours (the kiss I got was TOTALLY worth it, too!), and knew that the line for Henry and Company would be longer. Plus, we wanted to be near the front of the line, for better picture-taking opportunities while we waited.
The thing about these celebrity appearances is, it costs money–of course–for autographs and for posed pictures with them. They are getting paid for their appearance, and this is just how it works. We found out that there would be a separate fee for each signature and each posed picture for EACH of the three of them, and my sister and I were putting all of our money on (so to speak) Henry Winkler. I really, really wanted to meet Penny Marshall up close and personal too (if you’ll recall, “A League of Their Own” is one of my all-time favorite movies), but couldn’t justify that at that time. Plus, I would have felt guilty not paying to get a picture with Cindy Williams (shut up, it’s who I am) too.
After standing in line for about twenty minutes, we were informed that Cindy Williams wasn’t able to make Friday’s appearance. I looked at my sister and said, “Wow. Um, I feel like someone’s trying to tell me to go ahead and meet Penny Marshall too.” I spent the next ten minutes sputtering out reasons why it would be fine to spend the extra money on a picture with Penny as my sister laughed at me. Finally, I decided I was going to just go for it.
When they finally arrived, it was mayhem. The movie screenings had been pushed back by 45 minutes and it was clear there would be no leisurely conversations with Henry and Penny, but WOW was it cool to meet them. My sister approached Henry first and told her that we were the ones tweeting with him, and he gave her a big bear hug. Four hugs were exchanged in the course of their meeting, actually, and Henry signed a jukebox stereo that she has, which our dad has threatened to steal from her for years. Now, with the signature “Jules, I love you. Henry Winkler”, he’s going to have to rip it away from her cold, dead body, I’m sure.
He hugged me, too. (Sigh.) SUCH a nice man. Truly. He was just as nice as you hear: perhaps even NICER than that.
I walked up to Penny Marshall, who was drinking a Pepsi (no milk), and as I babbled about how much I loved “A League of Their Own”, she said, “Come ova heah” and beckoned me closer for the picture. It was a thrill.
On Saturday we headed over to Hollywood Palms an hour early to get in line for our movie and try to get a glimpse of Henry and Penny again, and Cindy Williams. The place was chaotic and loud, and we arrived just as they did.
I took tons of pictures from afar that aren’t really much good for posting, and was on my way over to the movie line where Julesie was waiting with Jim and J when the night took a crazy turn.
Eddie Mekka, a.k.a. Carmine Ragusa, “The Big Ragu”, was standing right in front of me.
I don’t blame her: I’ve been wrong and/or delusional countless times, especially in the presence of celebrities. However, I would’ve bet my life on it that this was indeed The Big Ragu. And we got hugs from him. Free ones.
Oh, that's just me, hanging out with Eddie Mekka, a.k.a. Carmine "The Big Ragu" Ragusa.
When we were seated for the movie, Henry, Penny, and Cindy walked in (Cindy was “hosting” the movie) and Naperville’s Mayor Pradel gave the three of them keys to the city, and then Cindy did a ten-minute question and answer session before the movie started. She was delightful. She said that Ron Howard was a good kisser, that she and Penny Marshall were paid (for “Laverne & Shirley”) less than ten percent of what the cast of “Friends” was paid, and that filming “American Graffiti” was like going to a “risque church camp”. I wanted to invite her over for dinner.
Wow, I was right there with you, every Tuesday night and, well, you guys have ALL the fun 🙂 Thanks for the great recap and sharing the awesome pics of you and your new Twitter besties!
How fun! We totally did the Happy Days/ L&S on Tuesday nights, too. Did you ever watch Henry in Arrested Development? He played an attorney called Bob Lablaw (pronounced quickly, “blah, blah, blah). He was funny. Yes, Happy Days and some great pics, too.
So fun – so happy to read your post- it sounded amazing – can’t wait to hear more!!
🙂 What fun! I keep meaning to go to one of those Hollywood Palms events with a celebrity, but always forget. The cast of Back to the Future was there a while back and I MISSED IT. And it’s my FAVORITE!
Wow!!! How absolutely awesome!!! I saw some of your tweets and was dying to know where they were at!
This made me want to cry! I was a HUGE Laverne and Shirley fan (of course, I wanted to be Shirley…another reason why we make a great pair).
What a wonderful night you all had. I’m so glad to hear that they were all as nice as they appear on TV.
It looks and sounds like you had an awesome time.
I always loved Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley. We never missed them.
Great pictures, I’m so jealous maybe the next time.
To say I am jealous would be a huge understatement! Wow. Absolutely fantastic! It is things like this that would make me want to live in/very near a city.
Ok. WOW! You met some of my favorite actors in the world. Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley were staples in my house, too! A League of their own is one of my top five movies and I’ve watched it numerous times. I could watch it again! Glad you had the chance to meet and greet these wonderful actors! | 2019-04-22T17:59:01 | https://www.suburbanscrawl.com/2011/10/happy-days/ |

Brute Squad v. Molly Brown. Fury v. Ozone.
The four semifinalists in the women’s division include three of the top four seeds, and one very surprising lower seed. Atlanta Ozone shocked the tournament with an come-from-behind victory over Riot in the quarterfinals. Molly Brown survived an effort from Scandal that took them to the edge. Meanwhile, Brute Squad and Fury dismantled their opponent.
One matchup is just like we drew it up. The other is one nobody projected. Everyone has their chance at the final.
For the third straight year, Boston Brute Squad and Denver Molly Brown will square off in a national semifinal. The past two confrontations have gone Brute Squad’s way – Boston routed Molly Brown in 2015 and won 14-9 in 2016 – and the reigning champions are 6-2 against Denver in their last eight meetings. Brute Squad has been the more dominant outfit, with a dramatically better point differential.
There are plenty of stars to watch in the game and how they matchup will be crucial. Claire Chastain (Molly) and Kami Groom (Brute) are the biggest names, while Jesse Shofner, Manuela Cardenas, and Liza Minor have been on a tear for Molly Brown and Caitlin O’Connell, Angela Zhu, and Lauren Sadler are in good form for Brute Squad. Boston’s defensive depth has been the difference-maker in past matchups and should be a factor again. And in the Sarasota gusts we’ve seen this weekend, you can expect Boston to have some defensive looks to mix things up.
Molly Brown’s offense has been their strongest unit, while Boston’s calling card during their back-to-back title wins has been their defense. The matchup will be one of strength on strength. Denver’s shown the propensity to bring the intensity, and when Boston catches fire, they can incinerate the opposition. This game will most likely go to whichever team can find their energy soonest and keep it the longest, despite the best efforts of their opponent to wrangle the momentum into their corner. Whoever can grab that elusive advantage will have a big edge in advancing to the final.
Atlanta Ozone did the unthinkable. They unsettled the top four by defeating no. 1 seed Seattle Riot in a stunning performance. Ozone has already demonstrated a lack of fear when it comes to playing the top four, and they’ve also shown a true ability to game plan for each opponent. Truthfully, that will be their strongest asset against Fury. Against each opponent thus far, they’ve come out with specific game plans to give them their best chance to win that one game, while Fury was almost certainly planning to play Riot before the tournament even began.
Against Riot, Ozone excelled in attacking the deep space, and they’ll likely look to do that against Fury as well. Paula Seville put on a masterclass in their quarters game, and how she plays could determine how late into the game Ozone is able to hang around.
Fury, on the other hand, has not even been challenged this weekend. They are clicking on all cylinders and playing their best ultimate of the season by a significant margin. They seem to have no concern for whom their opponent is at the moment. They’re enforcing their strengths in games and bending opponents to their will. There seems to be little danger of Fury overlooking Ozone as a challenger based on how they’ve dispatched their opponents thus far, and that’s likely Ozone’s best chance. On paper, Fury is the best team in the division, and for the first time this season, Fury is playing close to that potential, if not fulfilling it.
Ozone has had an impressive tournament, and their upset of Riot is a hell of a statement. But it would be a real surprise for them to match that performance and for Fury to match Riot’s. Atlanta has shown they can prove the doubters wrong, while Fury has shown they are a dominant force. Only one will confirm the narrative they cultivated this weekend.

In the wake of the law that will probably legalize the use of cannabis, beginning on July 1, 2018, rental property owners and tenants of rental income housing are quite concerned.
Indeed, the odours resulting from cannabis smoke are very strong and quite annoying for most people. In a building, ventilation systems and the proximity of people to each other are elements that converge into a problematic situation for everyone’s life.
First of all, before meeting for the signing of the lease, you must send the regulations of the building to the tenant. To do this, you can use the APQ regulations, but make sure you have the most recent version of them.
Moreover, the new version includes restrictions that concern the cultivation and smoking of marihuana.
Tenants must be given enough time to review the regulations prior to signing the lease. | 2019-04-18T17:35:46 | http://leproprietaire.apq.org/en/December2018/word-editor/ |

ally needs to be observable or caught on a regular basis. It also helps if natural or added markings allow individuals to be identified. The two main techniques to estimate absolute density without changing the density are either mark/recapture or distance sampling. Mark/recapture uses an initial capture period that results in a known number of marked animals. A second capture period then looks at the ratio of marked to unmarked animals and estimates how many animals the population contains. Mark/recapture is based on the two assumptions that all animals can be captured and capture does not influence the probability of future captures and that animals can be marked and the marks will not fall off or influence the probability of the animal to be recaptured. There is also an assumption that no mortality, natality, or immigration occurs between capture sessions, but it is possible to relax this assumption and still estimate density.
Removal sampling allows the observer to estimate a population's density post-hoc. The number of animals removed for each unit of effort, or a change in the ratio of two classes of animals (i.e., antlered and antlerless deer), is the basis for most surveys of harvested large mammals. For both calculations, the advantage is that the researcher is not necessarily the one doing the removal. Large areas and large populations can be estimated using volunteer hunters that agree to follow simple rules such as harvesting only antlered animals. The disadvantage is that there are limited species that attract a large number of volunteer hunters and the removal is limited to populations that are robust enough to sustain a harvest. It is possible to use the catch-per-unit-effort technique without harvesting animals, but the observer must be able to identify animals that have been previously sighted. There are several statistical programs that are commonly used to analyze this type of data and details of the programs and their assumptions are available at <http://www.cnr.colostate.edu/~gwhite/ software.html>.

This is a seminar focused on in–depth examination of theory, application and research issues in Educational and Cognitive Psychology. The content will be adjusted according to the interests and specializations of each lecturer. The goal is to have distinguished visitors or specialized scholars/scientists who will work with the Psychology Department to provide lectures for this seminar.
The course is designed to provide an integrated, in-depth and applied approach to multivariate data analysis and linear statistical models in psychological research. The focus will be on practical issues such as selecting the appropriate measures of analysis, preparing data for analysis, performing the analysis with SPSS, interpreting output and presenting research results. This course will provide an overview of some of the most common multivariate methods, namely: exploratory factor analysis, analysis of variance and covariance, multivariate analysis of variance and covariance, multiple regression, meditation and moderation. The course will strongly emphasize the applications of multivariate methods, rather than their theoretical derivation. All multivariate procedures will be discussed with reference to research designs and interpreted in a practical manner.
This course presents the contribution that psychological research can make to educational practice and discusses relevant issues that concern classroom educators. It critically examines contemporary theories of human development and learning in order to apply this knowledge in educational settings and situations. Additionally, it examines topics such as individual differences, home/school relations and cooperation among the educational psychologist, teachers and parents.
This course will inform students of the current research and theory in the area of cognitive development. Theories and models of cognitive change will be taught, as well as methods for determining conceptual change. Students will be required to study the relevant bibliography and present reports on relevant topics of the bibliography both orally and in written form. For practical experience, students will also be asked to participate in small-scale experiments with the models taught.
The main theories of human development, from conception to the end of life, will be critically presented and discussed. There will also be discussions concerning intra-personal and interpersonal influences on biological, cognitive, emotional and social development.
This course will cover the main theories and research on cognitive, physiological, socio-emotional, moral, and personality development during adolescence. Furthermore, we will also discuss the various problems faced by adolescents, emphasizing the factors contributing to the development of problematic behavior, including emotional, social and academic problems. The importance of discussing various psychological and other problems faced by adolescents lies in the fact that they are connected to extreme behaviors, such as suicide, criminal and aggressive behavior.
This course will introduce students to classic and contemporary theories of human development, which consider development to be a socio-psychological process. There will be a historical review of theories that form the theoretical bases of the contemporary socio-genetic approach to human development, e.g., the classic theories of Mead, Baldwin, Piaget and Vygotsky. There will be also in-depth discussions about recent meta-Piagetian theories of the Geneva social school, and about meta-Vygotskian theories such as those of Bruner, Rogoff, Wertsch and Valsiner.
This course will offer in-depth discussions concerning two of the most significant areas of Social Psychology: social influence and social representations. There will be discussions about the functional and the genetic model of social influence, as well as about classic and contemporary advancements in the areas of social influence and social representations. Moreover, the development of social representations of gender and national identity will be discussed. The applications of social influence and social representation theories to the fields of prevention, health psychology, advertising, communication and trade will also be discussed.
This course will review the most common disorders of childhood and adolescence with an emphasis on diagnostic criteria, developmental course, possible etiologies and the role of the environment in the development and maintenance of problem behaviors. Scientifically based treatments for these disorders will also be discussed.
This course will examine the phenomenon of aggressiveness, by presenting the various theories that attempt to explain it, as well as the empirical research that aims to locate its parameters. Terms such as pre-active and counteractive aggressiveness, emotional toughness and its relationship to psychopathology; family as a trigger for the development of aggressive behavior and the development of an aggressive personality will be analyzed. There will be special reference to bullying and profiles of children involved in it (bullies, victims, aggressive victims).We will also discuss about issues related to antisocial behavior in general, such as substance abuse, youth violation of rules and youth criminality.
This course examines the ways that social psychology can facilitate an understanding of discourse as a social and communicative practice. It will examine the ways in which discourse, both written and spoken constructs, creates different social realities and is structured in order to achieve specific communicative ends. During the course, reference will be made to research that critically analyses everyday communicative discourse as well as institutional discourse (media, political). Special reference will be made to representations in the media discourse that relate to specific social and psychological issues, such as psychopathology, gender, disability, sexuality, racism and nationalism.
This course examines how structural and functional features of the family microsystem influence its members, especially the young, still developing members. The main theories of family development and function will be presented, with emphasis on the systemic approach. There will also be presentations and discussions on recent research targeting the interaction of intrapersonal and interpersonal variables on the child's cognitive, psycho-social and personality development.
Human language is a dynamic and complex function. The purpose of this advanced course is to discuss the theoretical and scientific bases for language acquisition and development, and the language disorders caused by developmental, organic, and neurological etiologies. The course will cover the spectrum of ages beginning with infancy and will conclude with the aging process. Disorders like aphasia, specific language impairment, language learning disabilities, as well as language impairments resulting from brain injuries and dementia and the relationship between language, cognition, and other psychological functions will be presented. Assessment techniques and intervention strategies based on contemporary theoretical, research, and clinical models will be included.
This class identifies the need for a social psychological approach to the study of phenomena related to cross-cultural contact and communication. Students will use different theoretical paradigms and empirical evidence coming from intercultural contact zones worldwide in order to understand issues related to the psychological aspects of movement and migration. The course will first explain and discuss concepts related to nation and nationalism and will then move on to the study of psychological processes related to migration. We will then identify the challenges that people face when they are exposed to new environments, by examining processes of acculturation and focusing on issues of identity and stigma negotiation. We will discuss the challenges that societies face with migration, by referring to issues of acculturation, identity and prejudice. Finally, we will discuss of intergroup relations issues in multicultural societies.
Cognitive neuroscience is the study of the biological underpinnings of the mind. This course will be an introduction to the field and will cover a range of techniques/methods as well as demonstrate applications of those techniques to a wide array of cognitive, social, emotional, and developmental processes. Aside from summarizing key research and methods in the field, the course will aim to sharpen student's ability to think critically about topics in the field so they can apply such skills in their own research.
This course will offer in-depth discussions on classic and contemporary theories of intergroup relationships. The concepts of stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination will be discussed. We will focus on the theories of Frustration-Aggression, Authoritarian Personality, Realistic Conflict, Social Identity, Contact Hypothesis, as well as recent evolutions of these theories, such as the theory of Orientation towards Social Reign, the Theory of Threats, and theories combining the Contact Theory with the Social Identity Theory. We will also discuss empirical findings and applications of these theories on the mixed education institution and on the resolution of intergroup conflicts in North Ireland, South Africa, Israel, Palestine and other places.
This course will discuss the socio-psychological bases of crosscultural education. Students will learn the main theories on the generation and reduction of prejudice, stereotypes and discrimination, as well as their application in educational settings. There will be discussions on the phenomenon of immigration, looking at the issue from the perspectives of the minority and the majority. The course will also discuss the topic of national conflicts, as well as the role that the educational system may play in peace consolidation through the application of the discussed theories.
This course will introduce and familiarize students with qualitative research methods in psychology through a theoretical review and empirical applications. The course will involve the study of qualitative research projects in the areas of social, developmental, educational, cognitive and clinical psychology. The course will include study of: 1) the epistemological principles of qualitative and quantitative methodology; 2) principles and application of methods of data collection; 3) analytical theoretical models; 4) organization, management and class presentation of an original small research project.

We provide a private specialist children’s physiotherapy service in Nottinghamshire and the surrounding counties.
Treating children and young people is very different to treating adults. Like all people, each child and young person is unique. But in addition, their bodies are still developing and constantly changing as they grow into adulthood. There are a number of conditions that could affect their development and ability to move and function, from growth spurts and other bone and muscle conditions to neurological conditions like cerebral palsy and genetic conditions like Down’s syndrome, all of which can cause development delay.
We are here to give each child and young person the specialist treatment they need to help them develop to reach their full potential. We have years of experience and knowledge of treating children and young people and the various conditions common in their young lives.
As well as providing private specialist children’s physiotherapy support, we believe in a fun and engaging approach to our treatments to help your child be the best they can be both physically and mentally.
We’d love to help your child or young person live life to the full. Why not get in touch today to talk through your needs and find out how we can help.

Home > Are capital flows fickle? And does the answer still depend on type?
In a new paper and a Vox column , we ask whether the conventional wisdom holds in our contemporary world. We analyze trends in capital flows in emerging economies since 1990s, including in the post-global-financial-crisis era. While a majority of previous studies have utilized annual data largely for reasons of availability and convenience, we work with quarterly data. This allows us to analyze capital flows at business cycle frequencies and around country-specific sudden stops and global stops, events that are hard to pinpoint using annual data. | 2019-04-25T22:34:36 | https://blogs.worldbank.org/developmenttalk/print/1541 |

Money Advice for Truckers. Clark Howard is Awesome when it comes to Money Advice And Not Getting Ripped Off.
There are so many websites now days that claim to be the expert on everything from Cell Phones to best credit cards. I've found that it's easy to google say "Best Credit Card for Travel" and you'll get a bunch of paid adds first then You'll get the smooth articles that were built by pro webmasters to give the article a high rating on google search engines. Unfortunately I've found that most of these articles are only trying to sell You the same stuff they are advising You about. i.e. It's not about helping You, it's about helping them. I used to listen to this guy Clark Howard on Sirius when I was over the road. His Mantra was "save more, spend less and avoid rip-offs." He was always answering questions from every day people about anything from Mortgage advice to how to find the best credit card (or which are the worst) I was looking for a better deal on a rewards card for travelers, credit card, and after spending an hour searching, and not finding anything that felt like a good deal, remembered Clark, and found his helpful website. Clark.com. Within 15 minutes I'd found what may be the best credit card for road trippers, travelers, and truckers. | 2019-04-20T23:09:21 | https://www.healthtrucker.com/blog/archives/12-2017 |

Johnthony Walker was driving "well above" the posted speed limit (30 mph) at the time of the deadly crash, according to an arrest affidavit.
Walker "lost control of the bus and swerved off of the roadway to the right, striking an elevated driveway and mailbox, swerved to the left and began to overturn, striking a telephone pole and a tree," the affidavit states.
Bus driver Johnthony Walker, 24, has been arrested and charged with vehicular homicide after the school bus he was driving crashed on a suburban Chattanooga street on Monday, killing five elementary school kids and sending 23 more to the hospital.
Five children died at the scene, our partner at WTVC reports. Police have not yet determined the cause of the crash, though speeding was being considered "very, very strongly," city police chief Fred Fletcher said.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam said, "We're going to do everything we can to assist in any way."

What kind of knitting project would you pack for your travel?
So, you are going on vacation and you want to take some travel knitting? But you don’t know what to take? Or what you should consider when choosing a project? In this first part of my two part series on vacationing as a knitter, I’ll tell you about what you may have to think about and add a little bit of project inspiration. Next time we’ll talk about knitting on your actual vacation.
How are you going to get there? Will you be traveling by train, car or airplane?
If you’re taking the train that means you’ll likely have a nice long time to knit. Make reservations for seats, though. Otherwise, you may be standing the whole time. Pro tip: Think about sending your luggage ahead if possible. It makes getting into and out of trains so much easier which is great if you have to switch trains. And if you have less to carry around it would make it possible to even take two or three projects with you to choose from.
If you’re going by car, you might also have a nice long time to knit – unless you have to be driving. Then you will only be able to knit a little when taking a rest (which you should do if you’re driving longer than an hour or two).
Planes are tricky. Most theoretically allow you to take knitting needles. But that also always depends on the security personnel at the airport. So better take an envelope with you, in case you are not allowed to take your knitting you will at least be able to send it back that way and don’t have to throw it away.
How long will you be traveling? Just an hour or longer? If you are traveling longer you could consider taking more than one project. In case you wanted to work on something else for a while. Or in case you might finish the first one. They should be different enough to offer some variety. But they could be two projects of the same kind – as long as style and techniques used offer enough variety. Or you are two very different places within the project. For socks that might be just the start (either cuff or toe, depending on whether you are knitting cuff down or toe up) on one pair and just at the heel on the other pair.
No matter how you are traveling, you will likely not have a lot of room. That includes your project itself, your arms, your needles, the tools you may need and the pattern. Take a small project that requires a lot of knitting. Think about how long you will be able to knit before you have to cut yarn and weave in ends. It’s best to choose a project that doesn’t require you to look at the pattern all the time. If there is a chart, make sure you can memorize it quickly. Read through the pattern before you leave! Highlight everything important for the size you are making and make sure you are taking everything along you would need to complete knitting the project. You will likely be unable to pick up any tools you may have forgotten while traveling.
You will also have to consider the amount of material you’ll need for the project. Just one or a handful of balls or skeins? That’s fine – but don’t forget to wind skeins before you leave! I personally find center pull cakes work best for travel knitting. They won’t roll away as easily. Also, you may not want to do any intarsia, stranded colorwork or similar projects. Handling multiple balls (or cakes) of yarn attached to your knitting requires space and concentration.
If you have read the pattern, you should know which tools you’ll need. Consider how many you may need and what you may have to access more often and choose a project bag or container accordingly. Or add a container just for your tools.
If you are using stitch markers have a box or pouch with you where you can put them in once you don’t need them anymore. Don’t let them lie around they slide off of tables and surfaces easily. For similar reasons avoid using beads. Unless the project requires pre strung beads they are just too fiddly.
Consider the needles you will use. I prefer using circulars and find them easiest to work with while on the go. Nothing slides off as easily and I don’t necessarily need anything to keep them tamed. Although these needle point protectors are cute. You can also use needle point protectors for straights and DPN holders if you prefer doing your small circumference in the round knitting on double pointed needles.
You should also think about whether or not you need to keep track of your rows. There are apps for your cell phone – I personally like this one on my android phone. But if they keep your display on all the time, they might cost you too much battery. You should test that first. Or invest in a simple counter for your traveling needs. You may have to keep track of things like increases, decreases or pattern repeats differently then. But it’s never a bad idea to write these things down.
This is another matter to consider that involves some of the previous points. Very complex patterns may require more materials and tools. They may require you to knit with multiple colors at once. You will likely need to have the pattern out at all times. But one thing that they definitely take is a lot of attention and concentration. You may have traveling companions who need and want attention, too. Or you may need to make sure you are ready to get out quickly and on time (as with trains). You definitely don’t want to miss your stop or forget some luggage.
Make sure you prepare everything you may need ahead of time. And always read the pattern first!
Are you traveling soon? What will you take along with you? Can you think of other problems when knitting while traveling? What did you think of this post? Please, let me know in the comments below.
Next time on this very blog a follow-up post on what to consider when you want to knit while on vacation. So come back and check it out. | 2019-04-20T12:41:04 | https://sheepamongwolves.net/2017/07/how-to-avoid-problems-with-your-travel-knitting/ |
The RICS Building Survey, formally known as a structural survey, is the most detailed survey we offer. It provides professional advice and information on the most urgent or serious issues on the condition of the property and is ideal for older properties, unusual properties and where there are known defects. It uses a Traffic Light system to illustrate defects and if you plan to purchase a property of age or character then this report is an important safeguard.
Condition Rating 3 – defects that are serious and/or need repair, replacement or investigation urgently.
Condition Rating 2 – defects that need repair or replacement but are not considered to be either serious or urgent. The property must be maintained in the normal way.
Most completed reports will contain a mixture of ratings; the important items shown as Condition Rating 3 will need urgent repair or replacement and may be costly defects/ issues which may lead you to want to reduce your offer accordingly.
The Building Survey will help you make a reasoned and informed decision when purchasing a property.
The Building Survey does not include a Market Valuation, but this can be provided as an extra service. Any Market Valuation will be based on comparable research and our Chartered Surveyors expert local knowledge and will take into account any defects found and may again lead you to want to reduce your offer accordingly. | 2019-04-21T14:58:15 | https://www.fennwright.co.uk/professional-services/residential-surveying/building-survey/ |
I always made guacamole the simple way: avocados mashed with lime juice and salt. That’s it. And while I still like it that way, our friend Cheryl introduced us to HER way of making guacamole that knocked our socks off. I mean, every time we all got together all anybody could talk about was Cheryl’s famous guacamole as elbows were raised and tortilla chips flew, all decorum out the window, as our crew fought for the last scoop.
I finally threw in the towel and resigned to the fact that yes, Cheryl’s famous guacamole was indeed that good and that my old standard had to step down to make room for this shiny new version (even if it was only famous in Kamloops… we’re working on it).
Now, we make tacos (really more like a burrito with everything we put in them) on a regular basis, it is by far the meal that gets made the most in our home! And I’d like to think that we’ve kind of perfected them. It took a lot of time, and a lot of tacos, but layer by layer we figured out our own secret recipe for creating the yummiest Mexican dinner that is perfect for entertaining. I love taco night when we have guests over, as it’s such an unplugged way to serve our guests … AND they can make their taco exactly how they like it. Everyone is happy.
you can expedite the ripening process for avocados by sticking them in a paper bag with a ripe banana or an apple and closing the bag for a couple of days. The trapped ethylene gas that the fruit emits helps speed up the ripening process!
My sweet friend Cheryl was nice enough to share her famous guacamole recipe with me that has THE most asked for appetizer at our parties for years! It is zippy and slightly chunky and basically perfect.
Place all 3 avocados in a large bowl and roughly mash them up (it should be slightly chunky still). Stir in the diced pickled jalapeños, basil, cilantro, lime juice and add a splash of the pickled jalapeño juice and salt to taste.
Place the reserved avocado pit in the bottom of a serving bowl, scoop the guacamole on top, and garnish with extra cilantro or fresh sliced jalapeños for garnish if desired. Serve with a basket of tortilla chips. | 2019-04-23T00:25:36 | https://fraichenutrition.com/cheryls-famous-guacamole/print/ |
A PICK-UP LINE in any other language is still a pick-up line.
Even if I didn’t understand a word of it.
I looked up at the man speaking to me in French. He was tall with shoulders broad enough to suggest he worked out but not so broad to suggest he mixed steroids into his orange juice at breakfast. He was dressed in a T-shirt and jeans and wore scuffed sandals that looked like they’d just come from a day at the beach.
With a demure shake of my head, I offered him a low non merci, but he remained standing to the side of the teensy table where I sat in the teensy café that had beckoned me in with its vintage mismatched chairs and vibrant mismatched coffee cups. And maybe most importantly of all, its whirring air-conditioning. After the morning I’d had, I was in desperate need of a reprieve from the sauna outdoors trying to pass itself off as just another summer’s day.
If I’d known summers in Montréal could be just as smoldering as back in New York, I never would have moved here. Okay, maybe that’s not true. I agreed faster than it took me to blink when my boyfriend, Adam, had asked me to accompany him to his hometown. And when it wasn’t playing mix’n’match with blistering heat and sweltering humidity, I loved the city. From its cobblestone walkways to its vast parklands to its array of one-way-streets. I loved the museums and the endless summer street festivals and the French air of je ne sais quoi that made strolling in the park seem far more essential than running the rat race.
I heard the rustle of chair feet on tile floor and pick-up-line man sat down across from me, pulled out a journal, and began jotting notes in the pages. Not looking at me even once.
The tingly warmth on my skin, faded thanks to the air-conditioning, started to flame again. Maybe I had it wrong. Maybe the guy just wanted a place to sit. Perfect strangers shared tables all the time in popular restaurants during busy times. And one perusal of the place told me it was definitely busy time. Nary an empty seat in sight. Maybe I had misunderstood the pick-up line after all. Since arriving in Montréal, I’d brushed away over a dozen years of dust from my high-school French and trotted it out gleefully only to realize my teacher had been generous with my C grade for the class. Maybe what the guy had asked was more like “Is this seat taken?” and the shake of my head gave him the go-ahead to join me.
I rearranged my mochaccino glacé and croissant in front of me, fidgeting to hide my embarrassment. Jumping to conclusions was not a sport I played often. Or well, apparently.
I went back to the novel I’d brought with me to read on the métro. The carnation, bought earlier from a street vendor for luck and tucked into the book’s pages, still marked the same place it had then, my mind too tense to read on the way downtown and too dejected after I’d left my appointment. A job interview. The latest in a string of interviews that went exactly the same. My education, impeccable. My nearly ten years experience as a social worker in New York, impressive. My lack of French skills, impassable. As in a deal-breaker. A roadblock, as it were, to my getting any position in a city that requires bilingualism for jobs in my field. Or possibly, stellar unilingual skills, so long as that uni language is French.
“It’s not personal,” one interviewer had said. “It’s just the law here for organizations like us. We can’t hire candidates without at least some good French.” A sympathetic smile capped her words.
I’d smiled back, clutching the sheet of references I’d brought that would once again go unused, wanting to ask if she might be so kind as to list any organizations that may hire candidates like me. But I knew better than to bother. Having already sat through identical conversations at other interviews, I feared the answer would be a confused look and a head shake. If there were any social work jobs in Montréal that accepted English-only workers like me I was sure the jobs would be few and far between, in high demand, and likely once secured, kept until retirement.
I perched my book at the edge of the café table, beside my croissant plate, and made myself read a paragraph. Either I could sit here and brood about my unemployment or I could escape into the British countryside and manor house life of the nineteenth century, and I was choosing escape.
Every few words my eyes drifted upwards, to my table mate’s notebook, the zip of his pen crossing the small pages in swift streaks, his movement causing our table to rock onto its one short leg and back again. The man’s head bent forward and his hair, wound at the crown like dark rotini, dipped so close to me I caught a hint of musky scent from his shampoo.
I peered at his scrawl, a skeletal printing tough to make out upside down. Not English I thought. But same alphabet. Likely French, or Italian maybe, definitely some kind of accents over letters.
At the end of a page, he paused and checked a text on his phone then flipped the book closed, drank down his espresso in one shot like it was booze, and looked straight at me.
I smiled, hoping he hadn’t noticed my brief perusal of his notes. My chair jostled, once and then again, and I let my eyes travel from the man to the ground where a white rubber wheel ensnared my chair leg. The wheel belonged to a stroller. The stroller to a young mom with a toddler snoozing, chin to chest in the seat, and another child, a girl maybe five years old, sweaty, one elbow held aloft smeared with dirt and fresh blood. The girl dragged a scooter and wore a bright pink helmet tilted sideways on her head, straps dangling open at her neck. Tendrils escaped the mom’s tangerine braid of hair, her skin glistened, and her eyes had the look of someone in desperate need of caffeine. And a place to rest her weary feet.
The mom glanced at my nearly-full mochaccino glacé and my uneaten croissant.
“No really,” I said. “I, um, was going to move to the patio to get some sun.” Okay, this was a lie, but lies didn’t count when they were white ones for good causes.
The girl limped to my chair and sat, taking me at my word. While she hopped up, I held the wood back of the chair firmly, noticing that my pick-up-line friend had vacated his side of the table and was nowhere to be seen. Quickly I gathered up his leftover espresso cup and my own things and smiled at the mom who gratefully sank into the man’s vacant chair and thanked me, her accent French but her words perfect English.
I thought of offering to watch the toddler while the mom took the girl to the bathroom to wash off her bloody elbow but knew that babysitting may not be a welcome suggestion from a stranger, so I offered to get her some wet napkins instead. She declined, thanking me again, and withdrew a package of moist wipes from the diaper bag draped over the stroller handlebars. She passed the wipes to her daughter who cleaned up her own boo-boo, topping it with the animal print bandage her mother doled out automatically in follow-up. In the preparedness department, Boy Scouts had nothing on mothers. Mothers with diaper bags were like turtles with shells. Wherever they went, they carried all the comforts of home. Or at least the important ones.
The mom dropped the daughter’s used wipe into a tiny bag draped from the side of the stroller near a cup holder. She pulled a coloring book and set of crayons from the mess of toys and books brightly covered in flowers, trucks, and kittens crammed into a basket below the snoozing child, and she passed the crayons to the little girl who waved me off with a shy smile.
To make good on my lie, I went out to the patio, more courtyard than terrace, surprised to find it too quite crowded. Flagstones on the ground, the area was longer than it was wide, the width as narrow as the café interior, the length longer, extending outward buffered by a brick wall at the end, the rest lined by a short iron fence, intertwining vines covering the iron in lush green. On the outer side of the fence hung flower boxes with bright pink and white flowers. Courtyard side, marble-topped bistro tables clustered with narrow chairs made the most of every square inch, most already taken, but I managed to snag a table close to the café door, hoping to catch wafts of air-conditioning streaming out as people came and went.
Two bites into my croissant, a shadow darkened my table. Another man, glare of sun behind him catching me in the eye when I looked up.
I waited a beat for him to speak, not wanting to jump to conclusions again, hoping this newcomer and I spoke the same language. This time, whatever the guy wanted had to be more than a seat because there were empty tables to be had.
To lessen the glare in my eyes and see the guy better, I reached down to where I’d left my purse on the ground beside me, fishing for the sunglasses I’d hooked onto the straps. The shadow above me loomed closer, swooped down, and in a flash my bag was gone. Nothing left but my department store shades dangling from my fingertips. | 2019-04-25T12:17:24 | https://www.katyleen.com/the-demitasse-debut |
These and other pollutants are harmful to drinking water and aquatic life in creeks and in the Roanoke River.
Illicit discharges are generally any discharge into a storm drain system this is not composed entirely of stormwater. The exceptions include water from fire fighting activities and discharges from facilities already under an NPDES permit. Illicit discharges are a problem because, unlike wastewater which flows to a wastewater treatment plant, stormwater generally flows to waterways without any additional treatment. Illicit discharges often include pathogens, nutrients, surfactants, and various toxic pollutants. Report any illicit discharges as soon as possible by using our online Request Tracker System or download, print, and send an Illicit Discharge Reporting Form.
If you have any questions, please contact the Public Works Department at (540) 983-0646.

The Agricultural Plan was adopted by the SLRD on October 1, 2014; it is the culmination of a year-long public dialogue concerning the future of agriculture in the Lillooet area. Focus will now shift toward implementation of the plan priorities and recommended actions to realize the vision for agriculture in the area.
As Board policy, the Agricultural Plan will inform future OCP amendments in Electoral Area B, by aligning the policies with respect to agriculture. Additionally, it will provide guidance for future policy making and zoning regulations.
This Agricultural Plan is unique amongst agricultural plans in BC in that it was developed with extensive input from local indigenous community members. Significant input was also gathered from agricultural community stakeholders and the public - this is a plan made for and by the community.
In 2016, the Agricultural Plan was recognized with a Real Estate Foundation of BC Land Award (Public Sector category) for excellence in land use planning. Download the News Release, and check out the video below to learn more about the planning process.
The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) Area B, District of Lillooet & St’át’imc Agricultural Plan (Ag Plan) Working Group has formed a non-profit society to implement the Ag Plan and advance agricultural economic development in the Lillooet area. The move to form an independent non-profit will also allow for increased access to funding opportunities. The society, called Lillooet Agriculture and Food Society (LAFS), meets regularly, with general membership open to the public.

The new law focuses on anti-discrimination in the workplace.
Utah businesses will now be required to provide sufficient time during the workday for mothers to breast feed and take care of pregnancy-related matters.
Senate Bill 59, signed by Gov. Gary Herbert on March 28, mandates employers with 15 or more employees provide accommodations for workers who are pregnant, breastfeeding or in "any related condition."
Through this new anti-discriminatory law, employers for at least one year must provide a reasonable amount of time for breaks when employees need to breastfeed or express milk.
The law does not make it a requirement for businesses to permit employees to bring their children to work to accommodate pregnancy or breastfeeding needs.
According to the bill’s sponsor, Sen. Todd Weiler, R-Woods, employers can ask for a doctor’s note to avoid any pregnancy-related guessing.
Weiler said for 25 years the U.S. has already set up similar standards for disabled employees under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
This law puts into place provisions for businesses to allow employees with disabilities to fully participate in their work environment by making needed accommodations, which could include larger computer monitors or wider desks to fit a wheelchair.
House Bill 105 was passed in 2015, which modified the Utah Antidiscrimination Act by addressing breastfeeding and medical conditions related to breastfeeding.
According to a 2014 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 40.7 percent of mothers were still breastfeeding when their child was at 12 months.
Women's Leadership Institute CEO Patricia Jones said the bill is a much-needed change for businesses that do not offer a designated space for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Said after she gave birth and went back to work she was forced to sit in restrooms to breastfeed because there was no other place to go.
Weiler said he had previously been approached by both employees and employers to discuss their concerns related to breastfeeding at work.
A women’s legislative coalition and female workers spoke with him about finding a way to create breaks for female employees during the work day.
Employers also told Weiler how they wanted to find a way to allocate the breaks for pregnant or nursing women but were afraid of other employees believing they were not being treated fairly.
Weiler said this new bill will help alleviate that concern among employers while providing the accommodations female employees need.

You are probably eager to get started playing Warhammer 40k (or “40k”). You may have even dipped your toe into the 40k waters by purchasing a starter set or playing a few demo games and are now looking to make the plunge. Before you get in too deep, do me a favor and read this article series. I will be offering advice based on my own experiences with 40k that could save you time, money and frustration. I would love to welcome everyone to 40k, but I know that it’s not a game for everyone. I want everyone to come to the game with their eyes wide open and to enjoy their experience.
There are other more expensive hobbies I suppose, such as golf or scuba diving, but as a game 40K has to be one of the most expensive you can buy into. How expensive? Well, for a 1500 point army, (the standard starting point size for casual games), you are looking at dropping at least $300, and that is just for the models and that is at an online dealer typically offering a 20% discount. Books will run you over $100 and hobby supplies such as glue or paint or brushes cost even more, and the further you get into the hobby, the more you will find yourself spending.
Games Workshop, the company that makes Warhammer, is strange, and not in a funny, quirky way. They don’t market their products, they rarely interact with their customers, they don’t use social media, and they are very tight-lipped about what they are doing. It’s this silence that makes things worse when they release expensive products and confusing and unbalanced rules. Naturally players (many who no longer play the game) spend a lot of time online complaining. Go to any message board or comment section of popular 40k websites and it won’t take long to see that there is a small but loud chorus of anger, sarcasm and bitterness. Some of this is well-deserved criticism, but at some point it becomes tedious negativity that breeds and feeds on itself. Even worse, you might start to find yourself getting caught up in this and agreeing with strangers on the Internet and getting sucked into the negativity. At times like that, it’s important to remember your own personal experience with the game rather than listen to the opinions of others.
So that is a pretty good list of what you need to consider before you start 40k. Are you still with me after all of that? Check out my next article where I discuss why you should start 40k. | 2019-04-19T10:45:02 | http://thebattlehosts.com/be-better-gamer/getting-started/getting-started-with-40k-part-1/ |

In 1981 Roger Daneault, a 32-year-old Mississippi electrician, bent over to pick up a 50-pound motor on an offshore drilling rig. His life has not been the same since.
Four years and at least $90,000 later, Daneault it still paying the price of backache caused by improper lifting–in his case, a ruptured spinal disk that eventually required corrective surgery and months of therapy before he was able to return to work.
Backache, one of the least understood of physical afflictions, is business’ silent crippler, costing an estimated $56 billion annually in insurance, treatment, lost production and employee retraining. Until now, nostrums have included everything from pain pills, bed rest and surgery to chiropractic spinal adjustment, acupuncture and even psychotherapy. Yet a growing number of physical therapists nationwide are at last beginning to attack the problem from the prevention angle, beforehand, with the so-called extension technique.
The approach is catching on. Safety directors at a lengthy list of companies, including IBM, Owens-Corning, Westmoreland Coal, CSX, Dow Chemical, Schlumberger, United Parcel Service, Data General, Lockheed and Coors, are now providing extension-technique training to employees to prevent backache.
What is extension technique? In contrast to conventional treatments such as “flexion” exercises, which emphasize a combination of pelvic tilts and knee-to-chest routines to flatten and strengthen the back, extension technique involves a method of sitting, standing and lifting that capitalizes on the spine’s three natural curves. This lets the back extension muscles, in concert with the backbone, bear the stress of weight loads, which can exceed 1,000 pounds per square inch of disk when a person lifts even 70 pounds.
Known also as the McKenzie technique, for Robin McKenzie, the New Zealander who introduced it to the U.S. in the mid-1970s, extension technique is designed to preserve normal lordosis, and inward curve in the low back. “Most people have lost the curve through faulty sitting, watching TV five hours at a stretch, and driving,” says therapist Peter Mayock, who instructs workers on the technique at Anheuser-Busch’s brewery in Merrimack, N.H.
One useful technique recommended by Mayock: When sitting, place a rolled towel behind you to support the natural curve at the base of the spine. To stretch the abdominal muscles and the spine’s long front ligament, necessary for normal lordosis, Mayock also recommends a kind of semi-push-up that bows the low back in. For lifting, Mayock prefers the style that lets an Olympic weight lifter heave 300 pounds and lift it over the head by, in essense, locking the back into its naturally curved position instead of squat-lifting with a flat back and the legs bearing the load.
Extension technique is already showing real success in reducing injury on the job. After 350 “high-risk” workers at Public Service of New Hampshire completed Mayock’s two-hour course in late 1983, the number of back injuries dropped 60%.
Texas Instruments’ data systems group in Austin cut the number of back injuries there by 60% after 2,000 employees took Gilbert Gimbel’s Las Cruces, N.M.-based Save-A-Back extension back care course. After 183 workers at Austin Power & Light took Gimbel’s class, the number of lost-time back injuries fell by two-thirds. Inco’s Huntington Alloys in Huntington, W.Va. cut compensation costs 21% after Apts trained nearly 1,600 of its workers.
Treating backache is, of course, complex, and extension technique, although used for treatment, is by itself hardly a cure-all once a person does damage to his spine. But as a way to prevent damage from occurring in the first place, the technique has much to commend it. Compared with the cost of injuries, the $10 to $30 per head that therapist-instructors charge for prevention is small. Mississippi Power safety director Mikel Gusa says back injuries fell from 12 a year to zero after 1,200 employees took a back class there. | 2019-04-19T14:49:25 | http://www.alyssaalappen.org/1986/02/24/oh-my-aching-back/ |

Esperansa Morales, from Klamath falls, is the first female to cross the finish line at the Pear Blossom 10 mile run.
MEDFORD, Ore.,-10-year-old Esperansa Morales crossed the finish line with a time of 1 hour and 3 minutes. She's from Klamath Falls and says she's only been training for a month or two.
"In the beginning I had to start hard in order to get a good place. And it's tough but it's all about the mental game and the physical game," says Morales.
She told NewsWatch 12 that if she didn't win, she was ready to try again next year.
The first place male to cross the finish line was 26-year-old Tyler Vandyke. He had a final time of 54 minutes and 24 seconds. This wasn't Vandykes first run, he says he was ran in a 65 mile race before. He's been running since college. | 2019-04-21T02:29:03 | https://www.kdrv.com/content/news/10-year-old-wins-Pear-Blossom-10-mile-run-female-division-508547891.html |

Based on the Super Crown power-up, most of the characters in this ROM Hack are in their transformed variation including Bowsette, Boom-Boom, and the Koopalings.
Also includes bonus patch file replacing Bowsette with Princess Bowser from the Mario Odyssey design. Which also changes to the W7 letter, boss sprites, and ending.
Included patches for both SMB3 USA and SMB3 USA Rev A versions.
Behind Pizza Time 64 this has to be the best ROM Hack in existance. | 2019-04-23T13:53:07 | https://www.mfgg.net/index.php?sess=200b2f8616a77483e9e05bfa6f93ee64&act=resdb¶m=02&c=7&id=35133 |

Posted: Mon Oct 10, 2016 9:50 am Post subject: Avant Window Navigator dying? Alternatives?
I am long term user of AWN and i still love it. Never had much trouble with it but it seems like this project is almost dead and is soon to be removed from Gentoo. I still hope it comes back to live like other projects that have been considered dead before (like Revelation or Compiz). Is there any useful alternative for XFCE users? I have used Docky or Cairo-Dock back in the days but AWN was better. Checking portage it seems like Cairo-Dock is gone as well and while Docky is still there it looks pretty dead too.
Anyone knowing of anything else useful?
I switched to x11-misc/plank from the sabayon overlay.
Thanks! Never heard of it. Looks ok on screenshots and at least alive and i'll give it a try. | 2019-04-26T05:58:49 | https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1052740-start-0.html |
I was feeling dangerous last night in my twirly skirt and velvety top, an ensemble I ended up sleeping in all night, which was lovely, and I wrote up a rant (see below) striking a blow against people that made my life Hell for three years at my last place of work. I was feeling pretty proud of myself, along with having found the whole Other People's Heartbreak album by Bastille on youtube to listen to with a glass of wine and tea (soup).
then I received word from Tilly that our boiler had packed in. Frustratingly I have a vague idea what is wrong and I kinda know how to fix it - a swift relight with a match - but Tilly won't do matches (they scare her) and so we have to call a man out. The sure knowledge that five minutes fiddling from me would have probably solved the issue whilst Tilly stressed about a sleep over for the Girlie with her best friend at our place last night was pretty hard. I ended up feeling down and, well, punished. No good day goes unpunished and all that.
Same ensemble tonight, with the addition of a shirt with floppy cuffs (it's designed for use with cufflinks) that is slightly too big for me and I'm feeling safely feminine again. Grounded. Such an odd thing but not something I shall knock too much. I just wish I could share photos.
I woke myself up this morning and actually uttered the words "Come on Joanna, get out of bed!" before I realised what I was doing too. Is that good?
Oh, the rant follows in case you're interested. It was posted on my other blog where I post beer reviews from time to time.
This comes after a week's worth of renting away from home in a lovely little holiday cottage that I was lucky enough to get a deal on for the month. It's a little more expensive than a basic room but I cannot overstate the joy of having a self-contained space with my own bathroom, well, shower room, from which to operate.
If I have taught you please know that you are still very dear to me. I learned so much from my students where I used to work and I continue to benefit from the wisdom that you have imparted to me both deliberate and accidental. I have been inspired by you and challenged by you in equal measure.
If you are a colleague with whom I used to work and to whom I used to unload then know that there is little here pertinent to you, you kept me going and your time and patience with me is well regarded. There will be beers in the future. Home brewed too!
I have started working at the new place and I am impressed. I may have my ultimate boss in my Department and I may have conflicting loyalties between him, the Faculty Head, the Department and my Line Manager but these things are surprisingly not the issues that they first appear. The students are very different too. They are less sparky and open than I am used to but they remain keen and interested and they are very much more quirky than I am used to. That's not to say that those that I used to teach were not quirky, no, just that the numbers of truly quirky students was smaller than where I am now, at least so far. My colleagues are the usual bunch of different people but, in just a week of actual work, I have achieved more than I managed in two, no three, years at my last place in terms of organisation. The difference a change of place makes I suppose. Also confidence.
When I started looking on the journey that would eventually lead me to where I am now I felt very much like I was running away, like I was generally unsatisfactory and that I had shot my bolt by peaking too soon - that I was on the long slow decline to competency and ridicule. Now that I am here I feel that I run towards this place rather than away from my last. I feel that I have something positive to offer again. And I am offering it. I feel that people listen carefully and hear my meaning rather than assuming my meaning and attaching negative connotations.
Much of that was my own fault, I freely admit, I admitted to my short-comings too easily in an environment and situation that called for secrecy and lies. I was vulnerable in a situation that called for a carapace and boundaries of privacy. I was open when I should have been inscrutable. I was honest when I should have been noncommittal. I was idealistic when cynicism was the order of the day.
That is the largest and most welcome change. The students are not cynical. They are naive, to be sure, but they lack the cynicism that I had come to notice where I worked. Now, rest assured, those students I taught were endlessly fascinating and brilliant individuals - challenging the cynicism was fun and fulfilling. But the environment wore away at that. Now, here, I am in an environment where I can be who I am without fear of ridicule or destruction. I can be me. I can be idealistic. I can be eccentric, scatty, silly, enthusiastic and open. I can be stupid and the students are too. I never had any problems with students being themselves in my classroom, nor do I believe that they did with me. But there were pressures that prevented a full expression of my idealism and that assumed the worst whenever I was the remotest bit unclear. Deliberate misrepresentation, obfustication and misunderstanding dogged some important relationships and it wore me down.
Ultimately they won. I left. They remained. Ultimately I surrendered. And, in surrender, I found something better and unexpectedly wonderful.
So thank you all those people that refused to hear me and filled in my words, all those people that denigrated my contributions, doubted my intentions, undermined my confidence and were determined to show my failings when I was keenly aware of what you spotted and more. Thank you. Without you I would have toiled on out of a feeling of loyalty and safety rather than excitement. I would have squirreled myself away in the dark, become a corporate machine slowly growing old. Instead I am free. Thank you, you know who you are (and, conversely those who are not thus tarred know who they are too).
I think you were suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. You weren't defeated; you escaped a prison. And those awful wretches are still locked away, blissfully unaware that they are in purgatory. Rejoice, and pity them!
Oh of course. My dripping sarcasm, and cruel sneer, probably don't translate well to text.
In the end, as we know, there is not much wrong with surrender for the right reasons and with positive outcomes. And, besides, I win in the long run because they failed to destroy me. | 2019-04-26T04:35:56 | http://happinessv1.blogspot.com/2013/09/blogging-part-94.html |

I like movies about nuns. some of them are scary. some of them are sweet. most are good. some are bad. it’s a strange dichotomy.
It’s a work in progress. Suggest ones if you would like. I’m trying to stay away from the exploitation films unless they’re already in the MUBI database. Thanks!
A Question of Habit features interviews with more than 30 religious women, cultural critics, historians, and artists. The film, which is narrated by Susan Sarandon, explores the “nature, scope, and significance” of nuns and why they are so prevalent in our culture. The storyline dives into lives of the religious women in the United States “from the battle field medics of the Civil War to the creators of the first HMO in the country to the political activists fighting against capital punishment,” according to a description on the film’s website. | 2019-04-26T10:48:56 | https://mubi.com/lists/nuns/followers |
