Because all the other lists are wrong. Niantic's involvement is enough to get me pumped for Pokémon Go. I was deep into their first war. The words hit me like a ton of bricks. Ingress' soothing in-game rhythms flowed over me like a massive wave of baby blankets.

Thread: This Is It, Lost Fans, Tonight... JEVLACH Location: South Shore Long Island For all of you 'Lost' fans, this article is from NY Post online and thought it was pretty funny: Hell, I'm Lost By Joanna P. DelBuono "I'm dead, too?" Jack asks at the end of Lost. OMG, what tripe. From the pens of Damon Lindelof and J.J. Abrams this is the best they could come up with? After six seasons of black smoke monsters, others, a crazy French woman, bite your nails off cliffhangers and polar bears in the Pacific, all Lindelof and Abrams can come up with is "I'm dead, too?" Let me get this straight, for the past six seasons they've all been dead, but had to wait for Jack to remember that he was dead so they could all be together? And Benjamin, Mister Meanie himself, had some issues to deal with so he was staying, staying where, outside of the church, in the alternate world, at the island? Where oh where did he stay and where oh where did they die? IDK. Okay, okay, they're all dead, I get it, but did they die initially in the plane crash, did they die at different times on the island, did they really get saved and then go back to the island, but then died, or did they wait for Jack to die before they could die and did Lock really die at the end? Was he faking it laying on those rocks? Did Jack's surgery really cure his spinal injury, or was that just my imagination? I'M SO LOST. Why where they in the church, wasn't that building the portal to get back to the Island, was there going to be a group funeral mass for the Oceanic 11? Why wasn't the entire cast there and why was it a different brother? And finally where did the dog come from? I stayed up till 11:30 pm waiting for a really boffo ending and all I got was a GPS full of dead ends. Not for nuthin'™ Damon and J.J., but fading to black would have been better, then there would have been a reunion option. Cue "Don't Stop Believin'!"

In Koine Greek, sentence order does not necessarily change to indicate a question, as it does in English (for example: I am a man is a statement, whereas Am I a man? is a question). Questions are indicated in Greek by a semi-colon - ";", which is equivalent to the English question-mark - "?". The addition of certain words can change the emphasis of a question. For example, in English, "I am a man, aren't I?" changes the emphasis of the question so that an answer in the affirmative is expected. In contrast, "I'm not a man, am I?" implies that an answer in the negative is expected. Similarly, in Koine Greek, the addition of certain words changes the emphasis of the question. When the word ουκ or ουχι is used in a question, it may convey an expectation that the answer is "yes". When the word μη or μητι is used in a question, it may convey an expectation that the answer is "no". When the word μη or μητι is used in a question, it may convey an element of doubtfulness. In these cases The word μη (or μητι) can be translated as "maybe" or "perhaps". This page was last modified on 20 June 2008, at 20:58.

Víctor Amadeo de Saboya(Turín, 6 de mayo de 1699 - id. 22 de marzo de 1715), era hijo mayor de Víctor Amadeo II de Cerdeña y de Ana María de Orleans. Fue el presunto heredero de Saboya desde su nacimiento hasta su muerte. Actuó como regente de Saboya, desde septiembre de 1713 hasta septiembre de 1714 en las ausencias de su padre. Primeros años Fue el quinto, pero primer hijo varón de Víctor Amadeo II de Saboya y de su esposa Ana María de Orleans (sobrina de Luis XIV, y hija de Felipe I de Orleans y de Enriqueta Ana Estuardo). Víctor Amadeo nació en una época en que la Casa de Saboya estaba en necesidad de un heredero varón, ya que la ley sálica prohibía a las mujeres heredar el trono. Su nacimiento fue recibido con gran festejo y durante toda su vida, su salud fue cuidada con atención. Como hijo mayor, permaneció cerca de su padre durante toda su vida, quién a su vez lo adoraba. También disfrutó de una relación estrecha con su madre, que, a pesar del protocolo, estaba criando a sus hijos sola, algo bastante inusual entre la realeza de la época. Durante la batalla de Turín, él, su madre, su abuela y su hermano menor, Carlos Manuel, tuvieron que huir de Turín por su seguridad e ir a Génova. Su padre participó en la batalla que se desarrolló al oeste de la ciudad. El príncipe fue trasladado del cuidado femenino en 1708. Fue hermano menor de María Luisa Gabriela de Saboya, reina consorte de España, como esposa del rey Felipe V de España y de María Adelaida de Saboya, delfina de Francia, al ser la esposa del duque de Borgoña. Regencia En 1713, hacía el final de la Guerra de Sucesión Española gracias al Tratado de Utrecht, Sicilia fue cedida a su padre, y como tal, Víctor Amadeo se convirtió en el heredero de un reino en lugar de un ducado soberano. En septiembre de ese mismo año, sus padres partieron hacia Palermo con el fin de ser coronados oficialmente, y por negación de su abuela, María Juana de Saboya, fue a Víctor Amadeo a quién se le otorgó la regencia durante la ausencia de su padre. Su regencia terminó cuando su padre volvió en septiembre de 1714. Las tensas relaciones entre Saboya y Austria, dieron lugar a un posible matrimonio entre Víctor Amadeo y la archiduquesa María Amelia de Austria, hija del fallecido José I, pero todo esto fue ignorado por su padre. También hubo negociaciones de matrimonios con la Infanta Francisca de Portugal e Isabel Farnesio. Muerte El príncipe Víctor Amadeo murió en Turín, el 22 de marzo de 1715, después de haber cogido la viruela. Fue enterrado en la Catedral de Turín y en 1786 se lo trasladó a la Basílica de Superga. Su cuerpo se encuentra en el Sala degli Infanti (Salón de los Infantes). Su hermano menor Carlos Manuel, lo sucedió como heredero.

Mental Health Awareness Training to be rolled out to secondary schools 5th June 2019 By: Tim Linehan Over 1,800 secondary schools and colleges will receive free Mental Health Awareness Training (MHAT) delivered by the leading mental health charity, the Anna Freud Centre, as part of a Government-funded drive to promote whole-school approaches to mental health. MHAT is a national programme which will provide knowledge, skills and practical tools to staff working in secondary schools, to promote and integrate mental health and wellbeing across the whole school community. The training is grounded on a rigorous evidence base and will take place across England in over 130 locations between September 2019 and February 2020. It covers: What the evidence tells us about mental health difficulties in schools Spotting the early signs of a mental health problem Positive approaches to promoting mental health and wellbeing in the whole school community This is the third phase of the rollout of the training programme and the training will be available throughout Autumn Term 2019 and Spring Term 2020 and is available for two members of staff from each school. It is open to all schools and colleges who have not already received training. A full list of schools and colleges is available on the Anna Freud Centre website. Jaime Smith, Programme Director for the Mental Health and Wellbeing in Schools Programme at the Anna Freud Centre said: "This training gives schools and colleges a vital evidence-based grounding in mental health. Addressing children's mental and physical health is one of the most important things we can do for children and their families so that they can thrive and lead fulfilling and productive lives. Schools and colleges have really embraced the mental health agenda and we are delighted to be working with them. "Being mental health aware is important but this training also equips schools and colleges with the first steps around what to do. Knowing how to support is vital not just for the young person's but also for the teacher's wellbeing." School Standards Minister Nick Gibb said: "Children and young people's mental health is a top priority for this Government, which is why I am so pleased that the experts at the Anna Freud Centre will deliver the third year of training for staff in secondary schools – helping to make sure pupils get the help they need when they face difficulties in their life. "This adds to a range of important work already taking place in schools to support pupils' mental health, including connecting schools with NHS specialists in 25 trailblazer areas around the country and the introduction of health education on the curriculum from September 2020." One in eight (12.8%) five to 19 year olds in England have at least one mental disorder according to standardised diagnostic criteria. This equates to 1.25 million children and young people. The Anna Freud Centre is the leading charity supporting schools to tackle mental health and its work reaches over 1 million children and young people in schools in England. Its work includes: Running the world's largest research trial into mental health interventions, commissioned by the Department for Education. Mental Health Services and Schools and Colleges Link Programme– a programme of workshops commissioned by the Department for Education which has delivered to over 1,300 schools and to mental health professionals. The workshops bring together schools and colleges and mental health services to embed long-term collaboration and integrated working.

Carnil History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms Cornwall, one of the original six "Celtic nations" is the homeland to the surname Carnil. A revival of the Cornish language which began in the 9th century AD has begun. No doubt this was the language spoken by distant forebears of the Carnil family. Though surnames became common during medieval times, English people were formerly known only by a single name. The way in which hereditary surnames were adopted in medieval England is fascinating. Many Cornish surnames appear to be topographic surnames, which were given to people who resided near physical features such as hills, streams, churches, or types of trees, many are actually habitation surnames. The name Carnil is a local type of surname and the Carnil family lived in the county of Cornwall in southwest England. Early Origins of the Carnil family The surname Carnil was first found in St. Stephens in Brannell, Cornwall. "The manor of Brannell was granted by King John to Richard Earl of Cornwall and king of the Romans. By Richard it was given to Richard de Cornubia, or Cornwall, his natural son by Joan de Valletort, widow of Sir Alexander Oakeston. William de Cornwall of Court in this parish, is mentioned by Prince as first prior of Bewley; and afterwards in 1272, abbot of Newham in Devon. He is represented as living to a great age, and as dying in the year 1320 blind and decrepid. Godfrey de Cornwall, a carmelite friar who distinguished himself as the author of several learned works about the year 1300, is said to have been born at [the]Court [manor house]." [1] Early History of the Carnil family This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Carnil research. Another 195 words (14 lines of text) covering the years 1180, 1513, 1601, 1452, 1467, 1581, 1659, 1613, 1644, 1842, 1605, 1675, 1610, 1662, 1632, 1673, 1660, 1662, 1655, 1698, 1692, 1693, 1689, 1698, 1654, 1717, 1685, 1689, 1468, 1537, 1502, 1503, 1514, 1515, 1505, 1506, 1515, 1516, 1519, 1520 and 1797 are included under the topic Early Carnil History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. Carnil Spelling Variations Cornish surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. The frequent changes in surnames are due to the fact that the Old and Middle English languages lacked definite spelling rules. The official court languages, which were Latin and French, were also influential on the spelling of a surname. Since the spelling of surnames was rarely consistent in medieval times, and scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded rather than adhering to any specific spelling rules, it was common to find the same individual referred to with different spellings of their surname in the ancient chronicles. Moreover, a large number of foreign names were brought into England, which accelerated and accentuated the alterations to the spelling of various surnames. Lastly, spelling variations often resulted from the linguistic differences between the people of Cornwall and the rest of England. The Cornish spoke a unique Brythonic Celtic language which was first recorded in written documents during the 10th century. However, they became increasingly Anglicized, and Cornish became extinct as a spoken language in 1777, although it has been revived by Cornish patriots in the modern era. The name has been spelled Cornwall, Cornelle, Cornell, Cornwell, Cornewall, Cornal, Cornale, Cornevale, Carnwell, Carnewell, Carnville, Carnevale, Cornhall, Cornehall, Cornhale, Cornwale, Curnow (from native Cornish word) and many more. Early Notables of the Carnil family (pre 1700) Notable amongst the family at this time was Thomas Cornwall, High Sheriff of Herefordshire in 1452 and 1467; Jane Cornwallis (1581-1659), an English lady whose private correspondence (1613-1644) were published in 1842, mother of Frederick Cornwallis; Thomas Cornwallis (c. 1605-1675), an English politician and colonial administrator, one of the first Commissioners of the Province of Maryland; Frederick Cornwallis, 1st Baron Cornwallis Bt KT (1610-1662), an English peer, MP and Privy Councillor; Charles Cornwallis, 2nd Baron Cornwallis of Eye (1632-1673), an English landowner...

The Carnil Motto + The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.

All lot of people just can't wait to have 500 post so they can add image when they respond a topic. Also they want to do that to earn more. But did you know that you can upload pictures in your interest? I just found out 2 days ago. And I think that you are earning more if you upload a picture in an interest without one. Do you upload picture? Do you do this for fun or only for the money?I do that for both. But mostly is to help an interest have some picture. I know that we can upload pictures in interests, but you have to wait 10 minute after every uploaded picture (or that it's only me). I upload picture like you, to help that topic or if I have I picture that it isn't in that interest, but I have do admit that I upload picture for the money too. And I'm a little frustated that I can't upload in a respons because some times I have pictures that relates with the discussion. Well that is life, I can't do nothing, only to reach 500. I tryed to respond to this discussion about 7 hours ago and I couldn't. I have a lot of problems like this and I'm starting to be very frustrated. I don't have a lot of time now and this problems makes imposibil to use myLot. And when I make a comment on a discussion I write as ideas popup, I can't write the same thing again and if I copy the respons in to a file on my computer I can't paste it after mylot works because I don't have 500 posts (yet :D). Thank you for the "best repons". Have a nice day. I was uploading photos in the beginning because it was fun and it paid more. Now I only upload a picture every now and then. It takes a lot of time and sometimes it doesn't even upload for me. I have even messed up on the wording and couldn't delete the photo unless it is in my photos. so, I haven't sent any in lately. It is not worth the maybe penny in the end for me. not even sure how u do it need help!!!

Dead things don't grow. If I'm changing, I'm alive. However unpleasant it is. Shedding. I've shed relationships that once were a celluloid membrane around my heart. I am the snake rubbing herself against rocks to remove what is no longer useful, ugly and worn in the process. I was born to be alone. I do not write this in a remorseful way. I am seeing the benefits now. It is my calling, to live life for myself. Not, I hope, in a selfish way or arrogant way, but in a way suited to writing and honing a craft. I have a desire for power. I've been laughed at my whole life. I can hear it in my head now; most people are unwilling to acknowledge how weak they feel. I've learned that this is the first step towards changing, towards becoming stronger. What are you willing to sacrifice? A question from boxing class, but useful in any context of change. To leave behind the person I am now for someone much stronger and more capable of making on life, I am willing to sacrifice everything. I do not feel resentment or anger at that person, I just know I need to be someone different. Nonetheless, plenty of anger and resentment to go around. I am disappointed in the people I have loved. Where is their passion for a better life, their willingness to face themselves, to stop complaining, to be grateful for the lives they have? Am I being too harsh? Judgmental? I am certainly capable of praise and admiration, and I have that for many as well. But I need to stop giving people a break, and stop giving myself those same breaks. Being sloppy, slow, late, etc. But being gentle is oddly powerful. Trying to beat out the qualities in you that you don't like doesn't work. But small delicate changes and delicate encouragement have a big effect. I have an idea of who I would like to be. I don't know if that actually suits me. I can't work from ideas, I have to discover what's really there. Know thyself. I want to earn my arrogance. To live up to whatever grandeur I have about myself. Losing people along the way, it is no great loss if they were not up for the challenge of finding themselves along their way. I am so tired. I want more.

Fifty years after the Holocaust, the world allowed another genocide to take place, this time in Rwanda. In April, 1994 the international community, including the U.S., sat by and watched as 800,000 Tutsi men, women and children were massacred. The killings took place under the eyes of UN peacekeepers. Today, Rwanda remains torn by ethnic killings. Part 1: "Blood was flowing like a river" Part 2: "We were cowards" Part 3: "We felt betrayed"

Taking The SAT While Black March 12, 2019 March 12, 2019 by Craig Korkoian This is the 9th in the Soon to be Award Winning Series of "XXXX" While Black in America". Previous editions documented "Baby Sitting While Black", "Black and Living in a Luxury Condo", "Gardening While Black", "Cashing a Check While Black", "Wrestling While Black", "Calling While Black", "Waiting for AAA While Black" and "Eating Yogurt While Black" In this edition, "Taking SAT While Black", a Black Student claims she was accused of cheating on SAT after her exam was held for review A Black Florida high school honors student is fighting back after she says her SAT score was held for review following a Uuuuuuuuuuge increase from a test earlier this year. Black Student, Kamilah Campbell, 18, is calling on the Educational Testing Service (ETS), which administers the SAT, to release her test so she can be considered by college admissions officers. Black Student Kamilah Campbell is accused of cheating on the SAT Black Student Campbell's lawyer Ben Crump, said: "ETS's invalidation of Kamilah's SAT scores has already had a significant negative impact on her and her family, causing extreme emotional pain and suffering, and threatening her future success." Crump went on: "In concluding that the only way Kamilah could have improved her score so substantially was by cheating, ETS defamed Kamilah's character and replaced what should have been appropriate and motivating pride with shame and confusion." Crump added in the letter that Campbell, a dancer, is looking to attend Florida State University and invalidating the score "has threatened her ability to pay for college by eliminating her consideration for a Bright Futures Scholarship." About two weeks after Campbell took the test on Oct. 6, she received a letter from ETS, a non-profit, saying her exam was flagged for review. ETS officials told Campbell she scored 1,230, which is more than 300 points higher than when she took the SAT in March, the lawyer said. SAT scores range from 400 to 1,600. The SAT Test, do they still use pencils today, where do they get the pencils? Lawyer Crump said his client was told her score was flagged because that big of an improvement "indicated to ETS that she likely had 'prior knowledge' of the test." Black Student Campbell said she explained to ETS that when she took the SAT in March, she hadn't prepared, so between March and the October exam, she worked hard to improve, using prep resources and working with tutors. Of course, the ETS, comprised primarily of Old White Educators, claim that they are not racists. In a statement, the ETS stated: "We are consistent in our test security procedures for all students. We analyze multiple factors looking for evidence of score invalidity. The criteria we use in our test security efforts are not determined by race, ethnicity or any other personal attribute." Of course, citing privacy concerns, the ETS would not divulge how may students have been cited for cheating this cycle. Knowing that she could not beat the Old White Man, Black Student Campbell retook the SAT. Categories Life in the USA Post navigation Speak American Picking up Trash While Black

Almost one-fourth of opioids prescribed for chronic pain are misused, a new study concludes. A review of studies found average rates of misuse were 21 to 29 percent. Average rates of opioid painkiller addiction were 8 to 12 percent. Researchers reviewed 38 studies of opioid misuse, abuse or addiction, HealthDay reports. Misuse was defined as using opioids in a way other than prescribed by a doctor, regardless of whether there were harmful effects. Abuse was defined as intentional use of the opioid for a nonmedical purpose, such as getting high or altering one's state of consciousness. Addiction was defined as continued opioid use with actual or potential harmful effects, along with craving. Lead author Kevin Vowles of the University of New Mexico and colleagues wrote in the journal Pain that the findings raise questions about the benefits of widespread opioid use for chronic pain, given the harmful consequences. They wrote, "If it is accurate that approximately one in four patients on opioids display patterns of opioid misuse, but not addiction, then perhaps more efficient targeting of treatment resources would be of benefit." For example, they note in a journal news release, "Even low-intensity interventions, such as patient education and monitoring, might be a viable alternative to simply not prescribing the medications for those at risk of misuse."

Tina Arena feels her ARIA Hall of Fame induction has come at the right time in her career. Arena will receive the honour on Thursday at The Star in Sydney. It comes almost 40 years into her singing career. "I kind of feel it's the right time now. I feel like I can justify it within myself, being inducted into the Hall of Fame now; I feel like the journey has been what it's been and it's definitely time," she told AAP. "It's been nearly 40 years for me so I guess it does make sense to be able to have that recognised." She appeared on TV show Young Talent Time in the 1970s and released her first album in 1977. "For me, the story was something that was created from Australia, the success and the experience of my childhood and everything after that," she said. "I learnt my craft in this country so it makes total sense to be able to come back and to be recognised for it." For close to 20 years, Arena has lived in Europe, mostly in Paris where she has been revered for her music and adopted into the culture. She was even officially awarded for her contribution to French culture in 2009 with a Knighthood of the Order of National Merit, presented by then French president, Nicolas Sarkozy. However, she relates her achievements back to her Aussie start. "If it wasn't for Australia, I would never have been able to have been catapulted internationally and to have done the things that I've been able to do. It was because of Australia that I've done that," she said. Arena has chosen to make Australia her permanent base again and will relocate to Melbourne with her fiance Vincent Mancini and 10-year-old son Gabriel. "Family is really the main reason (for the move). My parents are not getting any younger and it's also really important that my son understands where his mum comes from, and the kind of environment that she grew up in," she said. "There is a point, it may be a combination of different things, but you just wake up and go `OK, I think it's time to go'... you inherently know when it's time to go back and I knew now is the time," she said. Arena is about to add her 11th studio album release, the aptly titled Eleven, to her list of achievements. * Eleven will be released on October 30.

FISHMAN STUDENT CENTER You are here: Home → Division of Student Affairs → DEAN OF STUDENTS → Student Advocacy → - Student Complaint Procedure Procedures for Handling Student Complaints About Faculty Conduct in Academic Settings I. Introduction. The University and its Colleges have a variety of procedures for dealing with student-related issues, including grade appeals, academic integrity violations, student discipline, disclosure of student records, student elections, sexual harassment complaints, disability accommodations, and discrimination. One area not generally covered by other procedures concerns student complaints about faculty conduct in the classroom or other formal academic settings. The University respects the academic freedom of the faculty and will not interfere with it as it relates to the content or style of teaching activities. Indeed, academic freedom is and should be of paramount importance. At the same time the University recognizes its responsibility to provide students with a procedure for addressing complaints about faculty treatment of students that are not protected by academic freedom and are not covered by other procedures. Examples might include incompetent or inefficient service, neglect of duty, physical or mental incapacity and conduct unbecoming a member of the staff. II. Determination of Appropriate Procedure. If students have any question about the applicable procedure to follow for a particular complaint, they should consult with the chief student affairs officer. In particular, the chief student affairs officer should advise a student if some other procedure is applicable to the type of complaint the student has. III. Informal Resolution. Students are encouraged to attempt to resolve complaints informally with the faculty member or to seek the assistance of the department chairperson or campus ombudsman to facilitate informal resolution. IV. Formal Complaint. If the student does not pursue informal resolution, or if informal resolution is unsuccessful, the student may file a written complaint with the department chairperson or, if the chairperson is the subject of the complaint, with the academic dean or a senior faculty member designated by the college president. (This person will be referred to below as the "Fact Finder.") A. The complaint shall be filed within 30 calendar days of the alleged conduct unless there is good cause shown for delay, including but not limited to delay caused by an attempt at informal resolution. The complaint shall be as specific as possible in describing the conduct complained of. B. The Fact Finder shall promptly send a copy to the faculty member about whom the complaint is made, along with a letter stating that the filing of the complaint does not imply that any wrongdoing has occurred and that a faculty member must not retaliate in any way against a student for having made a complaint. If either the student or the faculty member has reason to believe that the department chairperson may be biased or otherwise unable to deal with the complaint in a fair and objective manner, he or she may submit to the academic dean or the senior faculty member designated by the college president a written request stating the reasons for that belief; if the request appears to have merit, that person may, in his or her sole discretion, replace the department chairperson as the Fact Finder. C. The Fact Finder shall meet with the complaining student and faculty member, either separately or together, to discuss the complaint and to try to resolve it. The Fact Finder may seek the assistance of the campus ombudsman or other appropriate person to facilitate informal resolution. D. If resolution is not possible, and the Fact Finder concludes that the facts alleged by the student, taken as true and viewed in the light most favorable to the student, establish that the conduct complained of is clearly protected by academic freedom, he or she shall issue a written report dismissing the complaint and setting forth the reasons for dismissal and send a copy to the complaining student, the faculty member, the chief academic officer and the chief student affairs officer. Otherwise, the Fact Finder shall conduct an investigation. The Fact Finder shall separately interview the complaining student, the faculty member and other persons with relevant knowledge and information and shall also consult with the chief student affairs officer and, if appropriate, the college ombudsman. The Fact Finder shall not reveal the identity of the complaining student and the faculty member to others except to the extent necessary to conduct the investigation. If the Fact Finder believes it would be helpful, he or she may meet again with the student and faculty member after completing the investigation in an effort to resolve the matter. The complaining student and the faculty member shall have the right to have a representative (including a union representative, student government representative or attorney) present during the initial meeting, the interview and any post-investigation meeting. E. At the end of the investigation, the Fact Finder shall issue a written report setting forth his or her findings and recommendations, with particular focus on whether the conduct in question is protected by academic freedom, and send a copy to the complaining student, the faculty member, the chief academic officer and the chief student affairs officer. In ordinary cases, it is expected that the investigation and written report should be completed within 30 calendar days of the date the complaint was filed. V. Appeals Procedure. If either the student or the faculty member is not satisfied with the report of the Fact Finder, the student or faculty member may file a written appeal to the chief academic officer within 10 calendar days of receiving the report. The chief academic officer shall convene and serve as the chairperson of an Appeals Committee, which shall also include the chief student affairs officer, two faculty members elected annually by the faculty council or senate and one student elected annually by the student senate. The Appeals Committee shall review the findings and recommendations of the report, with particular focus on whether the conduct in question is protected by academic freedom. The Appeals Committee shall not conduct a new factual investigation or overturn any factual findings contained in the report unless they are clearly erroneous. If the Appeals Committee decides to reverse the Fact Finder in a case where there has not been an investigation because the Fact Finder erroneously found that the alleged conduct was protected by academic freedom, it may remand to the Fact Finder for further proceedings. The committee shall issue a written decision within 20 calendar days of receiving the appeal. A copy of the decision shall be sent to the student, the faculty member, the department chairperson and the president. VI. Subsequent Action. Following the completion of these procedures, the appropriate college official shall decide the appropriate action, if any, to take. For example, the department chairperson may decide to place a report in the faculty member's personnel file or the president may bring disciplinary charges against the faculty member. Disciplinary charges may also be brought in extremely serious cases even though the college has not completed the entire investigative process described above; in that case, the bringing of disciplinary charges shall automatically suspend that process. Any action taken by a college must comply with the bylaws of the University and the collective bargaining agreement between the University and the Professional Staff Congress. VII. Campus Implementation. Each campus shall implement these procedures and shall distribute them widely to administrators, faculty members and students and post them on the college website. VIII. Board Review. During the spring 2009 semester, the Chancellery shall conduct a review of the experience of the colleges with these procedures, including consultation with administrators, faculty and students, and shall report the results of that review to the Board of Trustees, along with any recommended changes.

The Guardians of Traffic and the originally named Lorain Carnegie Bridge were an idea conceived in the roaring 20's but not constructed untill the midst of the depression. They are one of the many Cleveland collabarations of Architect Frank Walker and sculptor Henry Hering. Almost lost in the 1970's to the urban renewal trend at the time. The Guardians have lived to become arguably one of Cleveland's most popular landmarks. After renovation in the 1980's the bridge was renamed The Hope Memorial Bridge in honor of Cleveland's favorite son Bob Hope and his father who worked on the bridge's construction. The Bridge is now thankfully on The National Register of Historic Places. Local delivery of framed pieces now available to the northeastern Ohio area.

Posted on Wednesday, July 18, 2018 by Sasha Melia After a gruelling day of assessment at the British Racing School in Newmarket, Alex Monro was officially declared 'Fit to ride' in the Pertemps Champions Willberry Charity Derby race at Epsom on 27 August. This is the first time that such a race has been run at Epsom and the challenging nature of the course means the amateur riders taking part need to be as fit as professional jockeys. Hence each of the 12 had to spend a day at the British Racing School to be assessed. Alex who is director of Mole Energy Switching (www.moleenergy.com) explains: "I was pleased and relieved to get this assessment behind me. I have been training religiously since March – riding out, running and cycling at least 20 miles per week, as well as visiting the gym twice a week. I am delighted that this major hurdle is now behind me and I can carry on getting myself as fit as possible for the big day". Alex is on track to raise his personal goal of £5000 for Hannah's Willberry the Wonder Pony Charity and The Bob Champion Cancer Trust. His corporate sponsors are Mole Valley Farmers (www.molevalleyfarmers.com) and Mole Energy; Rutherford Estates, (who are currently developing a Proton beam to be used in the fight against cancer); Costguard; Bishop Fleming; and The All England Jumping Course Hickstead.and the correct link for Alex's Virgin Money page is https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/AlexMonro His mount for the day is being kindly provided by Karen and Paul George (www.karengeorgeracing.com). Alex concludes: "Thanks to everyone who has sponsored me so far and I hope I can do justice to both charities and raise thousands more. I will endeavour to keep you all updated on the preparations leading up to the big day via To date the professional riders for the race include three day eventer Lissa Green, (daughter of Lucinda Green MBE) and her cousin Lara Prior-Palmer, who has been battling Hodgkin's lymphoma. Lissa and Lara will be joined by Alex, Sheikh Fahad Al Thani, showjumper Tim Gredley and Horse and Hound journalist Gemma Redrup plus six other amateur riders from the equine world.

Art Directors lead creative teams to make commercial advertisements for television, print, radio and digital venues as well as other marketing collateral. This includes leading teams of artists in creating the most memorable advertisements – from Super Bowl commercials to beautiful display ads – for some of the largest companies in the world. When it comes to commercial art, the buck really does stop with the art director. Art director positions oversee selection of talent such as Photographers, Graphic Designers and Illustrators. The Art Director is ultimately responsible for the management and output of these teams and for any touch up art work; if the ad comes back with a blemish, the Art Director corrects the problem. An art directing job includes being responsible for bringing together top creative talent to come up with the theme of an ad campaign. Together, they'll make the client's vision a reality. Art Directors should be creative and on top of the latest industry and cultural trends. They must have strong interpersonal and communication skills in order to lead teams and interact with clients. Art Directors must have a good sense of color and design because they often create the first rough sketch of the concept for their client to approve. Once the design is approved, the Art Director unleashes a creative team on the project. The Art Director must know at least a small amount about the computer design process and photography in order to guide the team to their best effort. In a television ad the Art Director serves as a casting director, finding the right look and feel for actors and sets. An Art Director can handle the, sometimes delicate, artistic temperaments of creative teams. The role requires a strong but non-aggressive leadership style, as they ultimately control the use of time and resources during the creative process; and they must also stay within budget. Understanding the goals of the client while being driven by a complex timeline of tasks, requires finesse as well as stress management and organizational skills. Collaboration and teamwork are key to this role. The Art Director should be moderately proficient in all of the typical programs used by a creative department or agency, including graphic design programs, client billing systems and project management software. Let Our Creative Employment Agency Find You The Perfect Art Director!

Why it has two initializations and two different orderer types? Am I wrong somewhere? I use configtx.yaml from first-network and didn't make any changes there. V1_4_2 of hyperledger is used. A: Raft consensus protocol internally define solo orderer type only. So there isn't any problem with these logs. Its all working fine and you can continue further.

Medical associations… Medical associations oppose corporal punishment Date: 8th August 2013 Category: Civil Rights and Freedoms Child health experts from Australia and New Zealand have launched a campaign to overturn laws allowing parents to use physical punishment against children in the name of discipline. Part of the initiative by the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP), which represents 14,000 physicians, is a public awareness campaign to educate parents about the harm corporal punishment causes children and about the alternatives. "Many cases of physical abuse are the result of physical punishment that became more severe than intended and the difficulty with allowing the physical punishment of children is that the line can be easily blurred between abuse and 'reasonable' force or chastisement that is currently permitted in some states when disciplining a child," said the College's Associate Professor Susan Moloney. In its position statement, the RACP recommends that existing law be reformed to make all forms of corporal punishment unlawful so that children are protected by law against assault to the same extent as adults. Download the position statement here. Last year the United Kingdom's Royal College of Paediatrics made a similar move, warning that parents should be banned from smacking their children because of the risk that "today's smack will become tomorrow's punch", and on the basis that "[c]hildren should be provided with the same protection against physical assault as adults". Despite repeated calls by the UN Committee and more recently through the UK's examination under the Universal Periodic Review (where Norway, Finland and Sweden called for the UK to ban all corporal punishment of children) children in Scotland still do not have the same protection from assault as adults in law. Children's organisations continue to raise the need for the removal of the defence of 'justifiable assault' and for the promotion of positive, non-violent parenting methods. A law is being drafted in South Africa to ban the use of corporal punishment in the home. And in Liberia, the NGO Defence for Children International-Liberia has called on the Government to abolish corporal punishment of children in all settings, saying that doing so is key for eliminating harmful social and cultural practices in the country. Under current law, children can be physically punished by adults in schools, the home and alternative care settings. Access more information here.

President Obama is eager to conclude the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations as quickly as possible, as the TPP would contribute to the growth of the U.S. economy and employment by increasing U.S. exports. Prime Minister Noda has a keen interest in joining the TPP negotiations before its conclusion as he does not want Japan to be excluded from the important regional free trade agreement. The U.S. has not agreed to Japan's participation in the TPP negotiations. The TPP could become a case for which the US and Japan cooperate to establish a regional framework. Or the TPP could result in a long and harsh exchange of conflicting opinions between the US and Japan, a la Structural Impediment Initiative(SII) talks. This seminar discusses the meaning of the TPP for the U.S. and Japan.

Home » Chelsea, English Football, European Football The Urban Myth of Luck: Chelsea and your team should be so lucky! 14 December 2014 by Ben Robertson In order for this article to work, a few things need to be said first. As a 24 year old Chelsea fan, I have witnessed the birth of a new club – in 2003 certain Russian came in and transformed the landscape at Stamford Bridge. Before the Roman Empire started it was all about the odd semi final in some odd competition that no one cares about and drawing 1-1 away to Liverpool. Since then we have seen the club win both European competitions, win more FA cups than is possible and win the Title three times. In short we have been overly spoilt. However to get to the nub of this article, if we are not Champions in May – then all sensible supporters of the club should not blame it on a lack of luck. Luck in sport is often sensationalised and there have been theories that dismiss the term outright. That is possibly too far to take this particular argument. Fans of the world's most beautiful game say ridiculous things such as "If that penalty hadn't be given against us at Anfield we would have won the Title"… "The referee's made so many poor decisions and the Title is gone". The reason this is silly is because it defies all possible logic. For a start – the fact the world even exists is because of a sequent of Scientific Events not because everyone is lucky to live on Planet that shouldn't function. Do you then say that you are lucky to have such a great son or daughter or are you so lucky that it is hot in Australia? Managers, players and fans spend their life's moaning about decisions that have gone against them. Let's turn that fall circle- any season consists of injuries, sending's off , poor subs –luck itself has nothing to do with any of those. Human impact and choices do but not luck. Are you really trying to say that a star player breaking a leg is bad luck? Football is a team game and that is why managers have to blame either themselves or their boards when they don't have a squad to compete for honours. It is a game where very few people admit their own mistakes. It is a mistake not admit your mistakes in football- true in any other arena. It is also a mistake not too move on as soon as the final whistle has gone. The point of blaming someone else is to avoid the real truth. Sergio Aguero did not win City the league in 2012 in the dying moments of that season- Manchester City simply had the best campaign over the season. Liverpool did not lose the Title in May because Steven Gerrard slipped on his 'Bum and Gave It To Demba Ba'- they lost the Championship after they buckled under immense pressure. How many goals did Gerrard score that season? How many assists did he have throughout? How much of a driving force was he? Incidentally we cannot blame him for losing us the World Cup place, it was just because there were very few winners on the pitch. Liverpool also showed themselves to be tactically naive at times as well. When Iniesta scored in the Champions League Semi Final 2009, the crowd blamed the ref (to be honest he was dire and did turn down 4 penalty appeals that were beyond valid), it was Barcelona tailor made resistance that saw them through. Not some 'luck' conspiracy. In football as in life you have to enjoy victory and endure defeat. The referee did not wake up that morning in April and make it his duty to get Chelsea knocked out of the competition. Emotions get in the way during any match and that is why we watch it. But if you are going to enjoy those moments like witnessing your team winning the Champions League in Munich in 2012- then you have to suffer the hangover you feel the next day after a competition elimination. Without the clock going back in November there would be no Spring evenings to look forward to. In the second to last paragraph – the phenomenon of luck evening itself out shall be dissected. This is problem wish this theory is it is a random but that does not mean the theory is completely fraudulent. The premise that it all comes back to be fair could well be true. Football is the same as the rest of life – it is just one thing after the other. Luck is more something that is there but it's impact is greatly exaggerated. Sports fan and football fans should try and look beyond the whole phenomena. That is always easier said than done but it is important to remember. Luck for luck sake is not true though- winning does not make you lucky and losing does not make you unlucky. What breeds winning is the belief that you are good enough in the first place. A striker who has hit the post eight times in three games is not unlucky they have just hit the post eight times. Strikers like Henry, Shearer , Drogba and Rooney- do not mind not scoring because they all know that when they look at their statistics they will show they scored when it really matter. That is what being a footballer is really all about and that is why trying pays off. Take 10 Ivanovic over ten Glen Johnson's any day of the week. For now Chelsea are on the top of their game and as always luck has had nothing to do with it. What will us Chelsea fans think in May? Ben Robertson I am no journalist , but do have writing in my family history my granny being the inventor of the Wombles. I have coached at youth level and want to offer controversial opinions that I believe that fans like to comment on. By all means share your views!

It's been fairly a few years since we final noticed a carbon fibre path bike from Canyon. The truth is, it was 2014 when the Nerve CF was final kicking about – a relatively marathon-ish, light-weight full susser that featured racy geometry, 120mm of journey, and 26in wheels. Fortunately, issues have moved on simply a wee bit since then, and that's left Canyon's vary considerably languishing with out a high-end path bike. Properly, till now. Unveiled simply earlier than the finish of 2018, the Neuron CF has arrived to take the mantle as Canyon's model new carbon fibre path bike. The Neuron CF is an all-new platform for Canyon. All pictures shot by Timothy Arch. Canyon gives each full-alloy (AL) and full-carbon (CF) variations of the Neuron. Each are new for 2019, although the alloy body is extra of a refresh, and carries over the present body form and suspension platform from the pre-2019 mannequin. Of notice is that the 2019 Neuron AL shares virtually equivalent geometry to the Neuron CF, and we're advised that the suspension leverage price is very comparable too. It's the clean, plastic-fantastic body that we've obtained on check right here although, and this specific mannequin – the CF 9.0 SL – sits proper in the center of the five-bike vary, which begins off with the CF eight.zero (£2,449 / $three,949 AUD) and peaks with the 9.0 LTD (£5,zero99 / $eight,149 AUD). There are additionally two ladies's fashions that utilise the similar body, but are spec'd with a lighter suspension tune, narrower bars, a shorter 50mm stem, and a ladies's saddle. Canyon's advertising tagline for the Neuron CF is 'All You Need'. That's not solely the fact, as a result of you'll require pedals to journey this bike. For greatest outcomes, I might additionally advocate footwear, a helmet, and a constructive, can-do angle. In all seriousness although, I consider Canyon is referring to the proven fact that the Neuron CF is merely meant to be a good ol' original path bike – one thing that pedals effectively, and goes up ze hills equally in addition to it goes down. Certainly a fast take a look at the numbers will reveal that this is not the slacked-out, trail-blazing, genre-bending, adrenaline junkie from a 50to01 video. No, the focus right here is far more on endurance driving, over enduro racing. The Neuron CF needs to be extra Associates moderately than Jackass. Now I'd usually be down with that, but I've beforehand examined an alloy Neuron, again when it was nonetheless referred to as the Nerve AL. It had a good black anodized body and it was spec'd well for the worth. Sadly I used to be left utterly underwhelmed by the rear suspension. Until you pumped the rear shock up to the wazoo, it had a behavior of blowing via the journey, leading to a spectacular bottom-out on even the smallest of landings. It significantly let the entire bike down. The Neuron AL will carry over the present suspension design and body format. Would it stay an solely wheels-on-the-ground, barely heavy, longer-legged XC bike? Or would I discover a noticeable enchancment from the sprightly, versatile path bike Canyon has promised us? The 2019 Canyon Neuron CF 9.0 SL sits in the center of a 5-model lineup. Let's not beat round the bush – this is one excellent wanting bicycle. With its matte paint job, full carbon fibre body, and the neatly built-in composite shock yoke, the Neuron CF is uber clear. Its dashing seems to be have definitely confirmed sufficient to warrant inquisition on each single group experience I've been on with it. At a claimed 2920g with the rear shock (Medium measurement), the carbon body isn't as mild as I used to be anticipating. Examine that to Canyon's Lux SLX frameset, which purportedly weighs a lithe 2128g. Apart from the flattened prime tube although, all the things is fairly chunky and outsized. Huge boxy chainstays are bridged for power and stiffness. There's a plump tapered head tube, a big hexagonal downtube, and the boxy chain and seatstays are each bridged for added rigidity. Given the, err, Rubenesque form and a spotlight to element, I'd recommend this is a body made for the lengthy haul. All the bearings are absolutely sealed, with the drive-side essential pivot that includes dual-row bearings, and every pivot capped with plastic covers to maintain crap out in the first place. Having eliminated a few of the pivot bolts out of curiosity, I used to be impressed to seek out them adequately greased, with the threads prepped with Loctite too. With the new Triple Part Suspension format, Canyon has flipped up the rear shock, which now mounts beneath the prime tube. This enables for respectable standover clearance, whereas nonetheless offering room for a water bottle inside the mainframe. Different practicalities embrace a threaded backside bracket shell (in contrast to the press-fit shell the carbon Spectral and Lux frames use) and the now-familiar IPU headset, which prevents over-rotation of the bars, whereas offering a larger vary of motion than Trek's Knock Block design. The cutely-named Quixle thru-axle combines bolt-up cleanliness with a hid pop-out lever at the rear dropouts, although it does want cranking up fairly tight to cease it from working unfastened whereas driving. Quixle lever slides again inside the axle for a clear look. Canyon earns a vivacious high-five from me for the intelligent cable tunnel beneath the downtube, which makes use of bolt-on plastic plates to each cover and shield the cables with out having to resort to routing them inside the body itself. Genius proper? Sadly the solitary mech cable does flap about a bit at the entry level although, and mixed with some occasional chain slap on the chainstay cable information, the Neuron CF doesn't fairly reside up to its stealthy appears on the path. Although not the priciest choice, the CF 9.0 SL nonetheless comes dressed with a schmick outfit. The Fox suspension and dropper submit package deal complement the swish body, with shiny black stanchions and, extra importantly, high-tech internals all-round. Reynolds TR 309 wheels are a robust spec selection at this worth level. The carbon wheelset is constructed with straight-pull spokes, sealed bearing hubs, and a Four-pawl freehub mechanism with 36 engagement factors. Confirmed weight is a affordable 1803g, and the 30mm inner width offers a good platform for the tubeless Maxxis Forekaster tyres. Reynolds TR309 wheels function on the 9.0 SL. The 30mm large (inner) carbon rims proved strong all through testing. The 1×12 SRAM drivetrain is tarted up with an X01 mech and the wonderful X01 set off shifter, which possesses pretty, clean paddles which were a welcome change from the GX Eagle shifters I've been utilizing recently. On the notice of gears, it seems the Neuron CF will truly match a entrance derailleur. The CF 9.0 truly comes with a 2×11 drivetrain as inventory, but any Neuron CF body can have a mech bolted onto a particular bracket by way of the major pivot. I point out this 2x compatibility, as a result of chainring and tyre clearance are a bit restricted. 32t is the largest 1x chainring you possibly can run (38/28t for a 2x setup), and Canyon states an official restrict of two.4in for the rear tyre. I used to be capable of simply slot in a 2.6in extensive Maxxis Rekon tyre, although I personally wouldn't advocate it, notably for muddy circumstances. Given the rising reputation of massive quantity 2.5-2.6in tyres in the path bike area, this lack of clearance looks like a missed alternative on Canyon's behalf.

But this legislation is yet to be extended to commercial vehicles, caravans and trailers. Here, Peter Tillotson, business development manager of TyrePal, discusses the lack of TPMS regulation for alternative vehicles and the impact it is having on fuel consumption, breakdown costs and driver safety. Fuel economy is a prominent issue for any driver. Low tire pressure means more friction on the road, hence less efficiency. Too much air pressure can create an oval shaped tire and shorten wear time. Twenty percent of a car's fuel consumption is used to overcome rolling resistance, but this increases if tires are under-inflated. For commercial vehicles, this figure is even higher, with a fully-loaded HGV using one third of its fuel to overcome rolling resistance. While the current legislation helps reduce fuel consumption for passenger vehicles, HGV drivers and fleet managers are left to do their own research into the products that could help save them money. As of 2015, if a passenger vehicle registered after January 2012 has a faulty TPMS, or the system has been removed, the car will fail its MOT. The UK's MOT test is designed to analyze the safety of a vehicle, which suggests that having a working TPMS is crucial. This asks the following question: why would a TPMS be any less important for a commercial vehicle? The reality is that, if anything, there is more to gain from having a tire pressure monitoring system on a commercial vehicle than a passenger one. Highways England estimates that as many as 3,600 accidents and 20% of all breakdowns are directly related to flat tires or low tire pressure. Because of an HGV's size, they have the potential to cause even more serious incidents if the driver loses control of the vehicle. UK HGVs are required by law to conduct daily checks before they start their journey, but a puncture can occur at any time. If the legislation was to be extended, drivers would get updates on the pressure and temperature status of their tires while on the road. This would allow drivers to remedy the situation before the low or high pressure causes a serious incident. Extending the legislation to commercial vehicles, caravans and trailers has been debated, but it seems there are too many barriers to overcome. For traditional TPMS to work in trailer and caravan applications there needs to be a universal protocol so every make and model of vehicle can communicate with every trailer. The majority of drivers will change their trailer dependent of the load they're transporting. As there is no universal protocol, drivers might need a different TPMS for each trailer and they would have to take the time to change the system before each journey. Another problem with the existing regulation is that currently, TPMS have 60 minutes to alert the driver when tire pressure drops by 20% in more than one tire. If the tire pressure is decreasing rapidly, the alert would come too late for the driver to act. While there are instant alert systems available, such as the TyrePal range, these are not mandatory as part of the legislation. Unfortunately, the current legislation is designed specifically for passenger vehicles, so the answer isn't to extend existing rules for HGVs, trailers and caravans. The legislation needs to be adapted, or a new set of requirements created for these alternative vehicles. Although there are no legal requirements as of yet, fleet managers should take matters into their own hands by installing a TPMS in every vehicle. This will give them peace of mind that drivers and vehicles are safe and they're not wasting huge amounts of fuel or causing unwanted downtime every year.

'Do our lives count for less?': COVID-19 exposes cracks in disability aid "It doesn't just happen magically. People have to try to make society better." In 2017, more than a quarter of Canadian adults with disabilities — or 1.6 million people — said they couldn't afford a required aid, device or prescription medication, according to Statistics Canada. The study also found that 28 per cent of people with severe disabilities aged 25 to 64 live below Canada's official poverty line, compared to 10 per cent of their counterparts without disabilities. In a report on welfare incomes in Canada in 2018, the anti-poverty foundation Maytree found that annual incomes for individuals on standard disability assistance ranged from $9,800 and $12,500 in most provinces. Ontario had the highest rate at $14,954, followed by British Columbia at $14,802 and Quebec at $13,651. At these levels, the organization says many provincial programs don't cover the costs of living in their biggest cities. According to the government's "market basket measure," the poverty threshold for a single person in Calgary was $20,585 in 2018 — double Alberta's standard disability rate of $10,301. Even at the higher end of the spectrum, B.C.'s support payments fall $5,882 short of the $20,684 poverty threshold in Vancouver. Vancouver activist romham gallacher, who spells their name with lower-case letters, is part of the grassroots group 300ToLive that's pushing B.C. to extend its $300 supplement to disability assistance beyond the COVID-19 crisis as part of a broader effort to bring benefits in line with a basic standard of living.

We all know the capacity of statistics to predict average behaviour: this is what enables the creatioResearchn of voting intention surveys using a representative sample of 1,000 people, or the prediction of average rainfall based on the meteorological data of past years. However, it is more difficult to predict - based on these same data - the scale of extreme events, such as 100-year floods i.e. the flooding of a river that only occurs once every 100 years. And yet this is what researchers from the Mistis team at the Inria centre in Grenoble - who co-financed a thesis on this subject with EDF R&D - are working on. "For EDF, a better prediction of these meteorological disasters is crucial in order to better size the resistance of structures such as hydraulic dams or nuclear plants", Stéphane Girard, research director in the Mistis team, explains. To this end EDF teams have, for around the past 10 years, been using a set of statistical methods originating from the "extreme value theory", put in place by Dutch mathematicians following the terrible tidal wave that submerged the North Sea coasts on 1 February 1953, causing more than 1,800 deaths. "Their aim was to better predict such disasters, even though we often only have very few - if any - examples of similar events at our disposal", Stéphane Girard explains. For example, in the case of the Netherlands, the previous tidal wave of a comparable size took place in... 1570. "The advantage of the extreme value theory is that it makes it possible to estimate the probability of extreme events using a set of average data. The disadvantage is that the uncertainty linked to these extrapolations is even more significant if we want to predict over the long term, for example a 1,000-year - rather than a 100-year - flood. The whole purpose of our work is to quantify these uncertainties more accurately", Clément Albert, author of the thesis, explains. By basing himself on regional measurements of rainfall, river flow and wind speeds collected over more than 100 years, Clément Albert therefore endeavoured to quantify the reliability of EDF R&D's statistical tools. "For example, I looked to see if the predictions made based on the first years of measurements were proven by the last years of measurements, by comparing the model to the reality", the researcher says. The conclusions of this thesis, completed in December 2018, will enable the EDF teams to know what level of confidence they can attribute to each statistical prediction, and to take this into account when sizing the structures. However, they could also benefit other strategic areas, such as autonomous cars. "Autonomous driving is based on sensors that constantly measure the distances between the car and obstacles. Manufacturers are doing everything they can to best characterise the reliability of these sensors. In this context our methods would, for example, enable an estimation of the length of the test drive phase that must be carried out in order to derive a reliable to-scale prediction of the lifespan of a vehicle", Stéphane Girard explains.

Tag-Archive for » J.K Rowling « 15 Stories Which Show that Dreams Have No Age Limit How many times do we think that we have 'crossed the age' to do something? "Oh, I am too old to learn music now." "Well, not now. I can't act at this age." "I so much wanted to learn piano, but I guess I have just missed it now…should have started when I was young." – We say it to ourselves or hear it quite often. But passion knows no age. If your dreams are really big, age is just a number. Here are fascinating stories of some of the great artists who never cared for age and saw great success only in later stages of life….Read on and get inspired Remember Spider Man? Well, Stan Lee, the creator of Spider Man, was 43 when he began drawing the superheroes. Jack Kirby, his partner, was 44 when he created The Fantastic Four. The world famous cook, Julia Child didn't know cooking till the age of 40. She launched her popular show only when she was 50. Robert Frost spent nearly a decade working on a farm left to him by his grandfather. He published a collection of his works when he was 39 years old. Rickman was 42 when he was casted as one of the leads in the stage version of the book Les Liaisons Dangereuses. The play went on to become a hit and was adapted by Hollywood as Dangerous Liaisons. Vincent van Gogh, of the most well-known artists of all time, started painting in his late 20s, but many of his famous pieces were created in his last two years. During his lifetime, Van Gogh sold only one painting. French impressionist, Claude Monet became famous at the age of 33 with his iconic work "Impressions, Sunrise". But it was only in his early 40s, after his wife's death, that he started creating his most known work. When Rocky was released, Sylvester Stallone was 30 years. After giving up embroidery because of arthritis, Grandma Moses began painting at 76. She continued painting until 101. Wallace Stevens was an insurance salesman before he went on to become poet in his 50s. Laura Ingalls Wilder, the famous author of "Little House in the Big Woods" did not publish her first book until she was 64! She continued writing about herself and her family, ending with "These Happy Golden Years" in 1943, at the age of 76. The famous Japanese dancer and choreographer Kazuo Ohno performed his first recital at the age of 43. After around 10 years, he and colleague achieved worldwide acclaim as the nucleus of the Butoh dance movement Singing sensation Susan Boyle achieved recognition at the age of 48. Mark Twain published Tom Sawyer at the age of 41 and published Huckleberry Finn at the age of 49. J.K Rowling was rejected by 12 publishers before first Harry Potter book was published when she was 32 Raymond Chandler used to work in oil industry. It was only at the age of 44 that he decided to become a writer.

Carnival Triumph Review - Part 4: Accomodation ​There's no getting away from the fact that the decor of the balcony cabin I had on Carnival Triumph has not aged gracefully, however, it was reasonably comfortable. The bed, in particular, was excellent - I can see why Carnival seem to have a side business in selling them. However, the cabinets and wardrobes have seen better days. This was particularly noticeable on the first night when very rough seas had the wardrobe doors flying open and then slamming shut every time the boat heaved from one side to the other. Towel animals are VERY big on Carnival. ​The bathroom was small and sported both an odd pink colour scheme and the kind of wall-mounted hairdryer that I thought had been committed to history. Body wash and shampoo are provided in wall-mounted dispensers, but towels were plentiful and replenished regularly. ​The balcony, while cramped, did include a chair that converted into a sunbed, but, be warned, there is only room out there for one person to lie down. Carnival Triumph Review - Part 3: Embarkation New Orleans beignets. The healthy breakfast choice. ​I checked in online for this cruise a few days before leaving the UK and, at the same time, ordered some bottled water for my cabin. The online check-in process, while generally smooth, suddenly becomes clunky when they, inexplicably, ask for all your other travel plans. I don't know if this is a US Customs and Border requirement, but it's implemented badly - in an attempt to be helpful, the site insists on pre-populating your return flight details based on your, already supplied, inbound arrangements then gets terribly cantankerous when you try to change them. That being said, all of the documents and luggage labels printed out perfectly, despite, I assume, being designed for US Letter, rather than the A4 paper I was using. St. Louis Cathedral ​Having arrived in New Orleans late the night before, jet lag ensured that I was still up and about early, so I decided to walk to the famous Cafe du Monde for beignets before it became crowded, then walked along the waterfront, with Carnival Triumph visible at the port, just before the Crescent City Bridges. Carnival Triumph moored beneath the Crescent City Connection bridges. ​I took a short taxi ride to the terminal at my allocated check-in time of 2pm. There were plenty of porters on hand to deal with pre-labelled luggage, but I'm not a fan of the manner in which, rather than just asking for a tip (which I was in the process of doing anyway), my porter made an, almost threatening, comment about him being the last person to see my luggage. Despite large crowds, security, check-in and boarding was slick and fast and, by the time I was on the ship, cabins were ready for occupation. Luggage was a bit slow in arriving, but showed up in the cabin after a few hours. What was slightly odd was the time and effort expended by Carnival in policing their beverage policy. Carnival permits guests to bring on board one 750ml bottle of wine or Champagne and a maximum of twelve cans of soft drinks. I was shocked at how many people were bothering to lug 12-packs of Dr. Pepper onto the ship. More amusing were the number of conversations I overheard onboard about smuggling in contraband booze. A veteran of dozens of Carnival voyages advises re-filling an empty Listerine bottle with vodka and a few drops of food colouring. ​Shortly after we left New Orleans, the other shoe in this pantomime dropped - hundreds of people lining up to buy "discounted" bottle of spirits from a special sale in the ship's atrium. Oh, between boarding and departure there was a mandatory safety drill that was almost comically disorganised - mainly because most of the ship was already wasted. After that, I grabbed an oddly coloured cocktail from the poolside bar then retreated to my balcony to watch us pull away from New Orleans. Carnival's unique take on the Long Island Iced Tea. Don't ask me why it's green, I've no idea. Carnival Triumph Review - Part 2: Why Triumph Carnival Triumph's main pool and outdoor movie screen. "Why Triumph" sounds like some sort of philosophical conundrum and, if you were to get hung up on the pros and cons of each, choosing which of Carnival's 25 ships is best for you is probably just as tricky a question. I'm not a massive fan of duplicating work, so I'm just going to link to Cruise Fever's excellent list of what features are found on each Carnival ship. Aside from the eight Fantasy class ships, which are of a more traditional design with few balconies, Carnival Triumph is one of the older ships in the line. It's also one of the most notorious, following the unfortunate "poop cruise" debacle of 2013. While the ship doesn't have the large waterparks and multiple restaurants of the newer ships, continual refurbishments have delivered signature Carnival features, including Guy's Burger Joint, Alchemy Bar and a large screen for outdoor movies. Triumph's understated atrium. In truth, unless you're sailing from Southern Florida, you're selection of Carnival ship is likely to be decided by the port you want to depart from - you will be sacrificing choice for convenience, and for a short trip to the sun, that's fine. I chose Triumph because it was leaving New Orleans at a time when I was in that part of the world anyway. If a balcony is important to you, the Fantasy Class ships (Fantasy, Ecstasy, Sensation, Fascination, Imagination, Inspiration, Paradise and Elation) may not be for you, but from what I understand, they are maintained and refurbished to the same high standards as the more modern vessels, although their smaller size clearly limits what new features can be accommodated. Art Noveau, brass globes and twinkling signs... Welcome to Carnival Triumph. Carnival Triumph Review - Part 1: Why Carnival? Carnival's first ship, Mardi Gras. Built in 1960 as the liner Empress of Canada. Picture courtesy of René Beauchamp/Wikimedia Commons. ​Carnival Cruise Line is often credited with creating the modern cruise industry, offering short cruises which were accessible to people without large reserves of spare time and money. While other lines were earlier to building purpose-built cruise ships, as opposed to converting old ocean liners, Carnival has seen, almost, relentless growth since it launched it's first purpose-built ship, the Tropicale, in 1982. Today, Carnival's fleet is the largest in the world, with 25 vessels in a range of sizes, all featuring the line's signature "Whale Tail" funnel. The signature "Whale Tail" of Carnival Triumph. ​Carnival, with their Fun Ship branding is, unashamedly, about informal cruising in a party atmosphere. Recent new builds and ongoing refurbishments have toned down the line's original, neon-heavy, style, but the ships remain bold and brash. For the Cruise Sceptic, Carnival's big attraction is the wide range of cruises it offers from an unrivalled number of US ports. European sailings from Carnival tend to be limited to the season immediately after a new ship is delivered, however, if you're in the US for business of pleasure, the chances are that you'll be able to fit a Carnival sailing into your travels. Carnival Vista, the latest, largest, addition to the Carnival fleet. Picture by antonio from Trieste, Italy - TRIESTE NAVI, CC BY 2.0, Link ​Best of all, Carnival cruises can be very inexpensive. If you're looking for a quick escape to the sunshine when you're in the US or a low-cost way to round out a holiday after the mind-blowing expense of the Orlando theme parks, Carnival is for you. The entire Carnival fleet features a brand tie-up with Dr Seuss to keep children entertained and, with each new build, Carnival has added more elaborate entertainments - from larger and larger water parks to SkyRide on Carnival Vista, an 800m cycle ride suspended high above the ocean. SkyRide on Carnival Vista.

Alibaba's prospectus carries a stark message for investors—it's not about your needs The message is loud and clear. Image: Reuters/Lang Lang Heather Timmons This article has been corrected.* The long run-up to Chinese online commerce giant Alibaba's blockbuster public offering has been punctuated by numerous updates to the company's IPO prospectus filed with US regulators, each revealing more detail than the last. The company's decision to file in New York, rather than Hong Kong, was based on company leaders' desire to retain control of the board of directors. US regulators appear to be pushing Alibaba to spell out, in increasingly specific detail, what exactly this control will mean for investors. In three of the latest filings, the first on July 11, Alibaba has set out a stark warning to potential investors about the motives of the "Alibaba Partnership," a powerful 27-member group also known as Lakeside Partners that will nominate a majority of the company's board of directors. Under the section marked "Risks related to our corporate structure," the prospectus warns investors that "the interests of the Alibaba Partnership may conflict with your interests." The voting rights of the partnership, it says: … will limit your ability to influence corporate matters, including any matters to be determined by our board of directors. The interests of the Alibaba Partnership may not coincide with your interests, and the Alibaba Partnership or its director nominees may make decisions with which you disagree, including decisions on important topics such as compensation, management succession, acquisition strategy and our business and financial strategy. In particular, Alibaba says, the partnership may "focus on the long-term interests of our ecosystem participants at the expense of our short-term financial results." Ecosystem participants are defined in another part of the prospectus as the "buyers, sellers, third-party service providers, strategic alliance partners, and investee companies" involved in Alibaba's online sales platform. By giving the partnership, and an elite committee within it, control of the company's ultimate decision-making body, Alibaba's top management has created a situation that executives at many publicly traded companies will envy. Although the company's IPO could raise more than $20 billion in exchange for shares, managers are making it increasingly clear that they will ignore the pressure from investors for short-term returns that dogs so many other CEOs. This lack of control is unlikely to deter many investors. Alibaba's second-quarter net income nearly tripled, to $2 billion, the company said yesterday, helped in part by a meteoric rise in mobile revenue. Shareholder Yahoo has made it clear it isn't going to part with its Alibaba stake unless forced, despite the Alibaba partnership's ultimate control. As one analyst told Reuters this week, investors are "ready to buy," whether anyone is going to listen to them or not. *An earlier version of this article said that Alibaba's prospectus filed on August 27 was the first to say that the interests of Alibaba's partnership may conflict with investors' interests. A prospectus dated July 11 was the first to state this.

Q: Get ID of Master Page object in Content Page If the master page has a label with the id label1 how do I control that id in the content page. The id is not passed down so i can't control it inherently. For example if i have a control with the id contentLabel i can access it code by just typing contentLabel.(whatever i'm doing) A: Here are two options: 1: make sure your content aspx specifies MasterType:     <%@ MasterType VirtualPath="~/yourMasterPageName.master" %> Doing this lets your content page know what to expect from your master-page and gives you intellisense. So, now you can go ahead and expose the label's Text property on the master page's code-behind. public string ContentLabelText { get { return contentLabel.Text; } set { contentLabel.Text = value; } } Then you can access it in your content page's code-behind page ala: Master.ContentLabelText = "hah!"; or, 2: You can access the label via FindControl() like so: var contentLabel = Master.FindControl("contentLabel") as Label;

MITS 3.0 - Now including Assessments Note: These books are by Doug Stark. Dave Stuart Jr., who teaches down the hallway from Doug and can't imagine teaching an English course without Doug's warm-ups, is acting as the publisher. Welcome to Mechanics Instruction that Sticks 3.0, a series of writing warm-ups that can help your students master the conventions of the English language without drilling them or overstressing you. This latest version adds consistency in style and formatting across all levels, as well as an all-new Level D book. Best of all, we're thrilled to share that every level now includes a quiz for each unit -- ideal for formative or summative assessments. This much-requested feature makes it likely that Mechanics Instruction that Sticks 3.0 will be the only resource you need for attacking mechanics in your classroom or as a vertical secondary team. Below, we'll look at the material covered at each level, but you're welcome to see a more detailed map of the four levels of books here. Also, each book comes with a detailed explanation of how Doug uses these warm-ups in class. That explanation, found in each book's Introduction, is also available here for free. It's critical to read that Introduction, as it explains how to use the warm-ups. (Importantly, they are not meant as keep-'em-busy worksheets!) Level A: 13 Units of Warm-ups Level A is designed to provide a foundational grasp of conventional writing in English. We've seen it used successfully with Grades 6-9. It includes the following units: Unit 1 – Subjects and Verbs Unit 2 – Clauses and Phrases Unit 3 – Elements of a Complete Sentence: Avoiding Fragments Unit 4 – Run-ons Unit 5 – Commas Unit 6 – Semicolons Unit 7 – Colons Unit 8 – Apostrophes Unit 9 – Subject-Verb Agreement Unit 10 – Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement Unit 11 – Pronoun Problems Unit 12 – Tense Consistency Unit 13 – Common Usage Errors Supplements – Common Word Errors, Quotation Marks, Pronouns as Subjects NEW: Level A now includes one quiz per unit (13 total quizzes), plus an extra quiz on common word errors. To see how Level A compares to the other books, use this handy chart. To read Doug's brief explanation of how they fit together, click here. Level B: 13+ Units of Warm-ups Level B is our oldest level of MITS, now remastered to better align with Levels A, C, and D. It has been used by teachers in every US state and over a dozen countries around the world. It includes the following units: Unit 2 – Relative Clauses Unit 3 – Avoiding Sentence Fragments Unit 4 – Avoiding Run-Ons Unit 8 – Dashes Unit 10 – Subject-Verb Agreement Unit 12 – Parallelism Unit 13 – Avoiding Wordiness and Redundancy Plus: Supplemental units -- for teachers to use as they see fit -- on Using Active Voice, Awkward Constructions, Avoiding Illogical Sentences, Common Word Errors, and Common Usage Errors NEW: Level B now includes one quiz per unit (13 total quizzes). To see how Level B compares to the other books, use this handy chart. To read Doug's brief explanation of how they fit together, click here. Level C: 13+ Units of Warm-Ups Level C is the book Doug prepared for his English 11 students; however, we believe it has applications for 10th or 12th graders as well. At 13 units long, it is designed for teachers wishing to help their students prepare for both conventional writing as adults as well as successful performance on junior-year ACT or SAT examinations. It contains the following units: Unit 1 – Phrases and Clauses Unit 2 – Avoiding Fragments Unit 5 – Semicolons and Colons Unit 9 – Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement Unit 10 – Using Active Voice Unit 11 – Avoiding Wordiness Unit 12 – Avoiding Awkward Constructions Plus: Supplemental units -- for teachers to use as they see fit -- on Avoiding Illogical Sentences, Avoiding Vague References, and Common Word Errors NEW: Level C now includes one quiz per unit -- 13 total quizzes To see how Level C compares to the other books, use this handy chart. To read Doug's brief explanation of how they fit together, click here. Level D (NEW!) - 13+ Units of Warm-Ups, Targeted for Grades 10-12 Doug created Level D to give teachers an option for older students (10th grade and up) who need to focus more on style and less on mechanics and grammar. The units in the Level D book (i.e., avoiding wordiness, avoiding awkward constructions, using active voice) drive home the need for clarity and precision in writing. Unit 1 – Sentence Elements (clauses and phrases) Unit 3 – Avoiding Run-on Sentences Unit 4 – Punctuation Review Unit 8 – Active Voice Unit 9 – Avoiding Wordiness and Redundancy Unit 12 – Logic Level D includes one quiz per unit (13 total quizzes). To see how Level D compares to the other books, use this handy chart. To read Doug's brief explanation of how they fit together, click here. How do I decide which book is right for me? This chart will give you a general idea of what is covered at each level. Notice that many of the units overlap from grade level to grade level. Generally speaking, the Level A book includes more direct grammar instruction, the Level B book focuses more heavily on punctuation and usage, the Level C book emphasizes punctuation and clarity, and the Level D book concentrates on clarity and precision. Doug used the grade level expectations provided by the Common Core Standards (Language Progressive Skills by Grade) to make some determinations about unit alignment. Their grade level standards assume mastery of most of the punctuation and usage rules prior to middle school. However, Doug's experience suggests that most ninth grade students still need direct instruction (often times very explicit instruction) in these areas. What are other teachers saying? "We love your material! I've introduced it to many other teachers in our district, and they absolutely love it also. It's hard to find something that all teachers agree on, but those that I work with agree that MITS is wonderful!" --Melissa from Utah "It covers the skills my kids need to prepare for the SAT. It's adaptable – I can control the pacing of notes and practice. It's CORRECT – many programs are not. The grammar instruction applies to punctuation use immediately. I love it. It's the closest thing to what I'd develop myself if I had the time." --Rachel from Idaho "My kids are taking ACT prep tests and have said how much this methodical study of the language conventions has helped get higher scores... [I]t's been fun to see them actually like doing this work – they see the payoff... I've seen good growth in their writing as they have learned to proofread better; they have a firmer idea of what to look for." --Rho from Ohio "I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart... because this is exactly what I've been looking for... I have never put it all together as neatly and succinctly as [this]. Thank you for making this available to us. I shared the work with the LA teacher on the other team, and she almost immediately downloaded the book as well!" --Maura from Virginia "These exercises are perfect to help students who haven't been exposed to any significant mechanics instruction since grade school. The repetition of key ideas works very well." --Kris from Montana "I purchased Doug's book and just looking at it, I am hearing angels in the background. This is exactly what I was looking for!" --Karri from Oregon "I loved reading Doug's process of making these and then teaching and refining them." -- Kim from Michigan "Our whole department has been using it for the past nine weeks, and I think it's the perfect amount of time on each topic" --Anonymous "I have loved this program. The explanations and repetition help the kids. I have shared my excitement with this program with many colleagues. Thank you." "It is sticking! My students do not complain about all of the repetition – in fact, it is helping many of my struggling students feel very successful." "I love the progression of the skills; the lessons are as my adult education students put it "bite size". It's easy to incorporate the sentence structure into their assignment. The unit opener page is an easy reference that is simple for them to use and is not middle school-ish." --Anonymous adult ed teacher What if I want copies of this for a large group of teachers? We don't have the staffing to field or fulfill bulk pricing inquiries. However, we think we've priced the books affordably -- $25 for 1 teacher to use with unlimited students. Also, please note that there are discounts when you order multiple levels at the same time: Pick 3 = $20 off, All 4 = $30 off. Yes. Start the process by emailing me at support_at_davestuartjr.com. How do I use the warm-ups? On Dave's blog, we have published the Introduction to Mechanics Instruction that Sticks. Click here, and scroll down to "How to Use the Warm-Ups." Doug also wrote a follow up piece with more advice here. When do you have time to put these together? Our school has a policy for research and publishing that we comply with. This is why Doug puts these together during the summertime from the comfort of his home. MITS is prepared without the use of district resources, and our district's employees get free access to any of the MITS products. What if I don't like it? We have a simple guarantee policy: if you're not happy, email us (support_at_davestuartjr.com), and we'll immediately give you a refund. The Number One Thing we don't want to happen is for any teacher to feel like they did not get more than their money's worth with these warm-ups. Please: If you're not happy, send us a message. What if it changes the course of my life and my classroom ends up being the focus of a Hollywood teacher movie? Give Doug a line in the credits. What if I think something should be added? These warm-ups are what they are because Doug has tweaked them for years. With that said, we realize that we may have had blind spots in creating this book, so we'd be happy to hear from you. Email Doug at doug.stark1974_at_gmail.com. What if I want to edit the warm-ups or student notebook? Although we think the warm-ups are pretty versatile as is, we've included an editable (.doc) version of the warm-ups and student notebook as well.

Destinations, Central & South America Summer Destinations Look for Solutions to Tourists' Seasonal Stereotypes - Nov 18, 2014 2:04 pm Marketing beaches in the winter is a difficult task, suggesting destinations looking to break out of seasonal stereotypes need on-the-ground product development to give visitors a real reason to reconsider a place besides off-season prices and a smart ad campaign. Anyone that's ever visited a traditionally summer destination from Punta del Este, Uruguay, to Ibiza, Spain, knows that the beaches and businesses are empty until just a week or two before their busy seasons begin. Visit during high season and hotel rates soar, restaurants are packed, and beach access costs several dollars per beach chair. As global tourism grows to a record 1.087 billion in 2013, destinations across the globe are working every angle to get as many tourists and their pocketbooks into their hotels and restaurants as possible, making seasonality a serious challenge for similar summer hotspots. The United Nations World Tourism Organization recently embarked on a project to test its theories about what it takes turn a summer getaway into a year-round destination. Using Uruguay as a test case, the UNWTO focused its efforts on the summer beach city of Punta del Este where organization leaders met with private and public representatives to draft and test a prototype for reducing seasonality and attracting visitors 365 days out of the year. That initiative is part of UNWTO's Affiliate Members Programme, which aims to share lessons and help other destinations work towards sustainable economic and social tourism development. Punta del Este's Game Plan Tourism revenues have quadrupled in Uruguay in recent years to reach more than $2 billion dollars; however, three-quarters of it come during the summer months. In 2013, 720,000 people visited Punta del Este in the summer and only 277,000 people visited throughout the rest of the year. Based on the meeting, the UNWTO outlined the following prescription for overcoming seasonality in Punta del Este: raise the profile of the destination's culinary and agricultural sectors, develop sports and wellness tourism, create themed events to attract certain demographics, and attract businesses to the new convention center. From a communications perspective, these elements will be incorporated into the larger destination brand and marketed through storytelling. The prototype focuses around the concept of "energy" and aimed at attracting tourists who value simplistic and meaningful experiences that contribute to their body, mind and spirit. The UNWTO plans use the Punta del Este 365 as a case study, which, if successful, will be applied to other destinations. Other Destinations' Efforts Croatia has a similar problem. It's better known for its sunsets and beaches than its cuisine and culture resulting in 63 percent of its tourist arrivals for 2013 taking place between June, July and August. The destination recently started to combat its summer stereotype with a new marketing campaign designed to educate potential visitors about the cultural, wellness, culinary, outdoor and business opportunities available in 22 destination throughout the year. Switzerland has the opposite problem with its country brand more closely aligned with snow-capped mountains and world-renowned ski resorts than lakeside holidays or urban explorations. In an effort to change this perception more than 80 percent of Switzerland Tourism's marketing initiatives and funds support summer campaigns. Seasonality can also be impacted by market. Although Switzerland must spread awareness of its summer attractions to the European market, which is more interested in Mediterranean destinations between July and September, two-thirds of American travelers visit Switzerland in the summer half of the year. This is likely due to summer vacations where most Americans travel abroad.

Key Changes to California Employment Law for Businesses in 2020 2020 brings some significant changes for California employers, from the codification of the "ABC test" for independent contractor classifications (AB 5) to bans of certain mandatory employment arbitration agreements entered into after January 1, 2020 (AB 51). Below is an overview of key new employment laws businesses need to understand and be aware of going into 2020. Independent Contractors v. Employees (AB 5) The ABC test under the 2018 Dynamex case has been codified into law, at Labor Code Section 2750.3. Labor Code Section 2750.3 adopts the ABC test in most situations, making it difficult to correctly classify a worker as an independent contractor. Additionally, the new law is retroactive and applies to all wage and hour claims under the Labor Code, as well as unemployment insurance. Starting in July 2020, it will also apply to workers' compensation claims. The new statute, however, does carve out many exceptions, which if applicable, allows the old, less stringent, multi-factor balancing test under the Borello case to be used. Misclassification suits are being filed by workers alleging that they are wrongfully treated as independent contractors and denied protections afforded to employees. They usually allege that they were improperly paid under California's wage and hour laws, and denied overtime pay, as well as various other benefits. Businesses should consider their risk, and determine whether they need to convert their independent contractors to employees under the new law. Lactation Accommodation (SB 142) All companies should update their lactation policy after SB 142, which expands requirements for lactation accommodations, and requires that specific language be newly included in lactation policies. Companies should also consider an entire handbook review/update for older handbooks. Arbitration Agreements (AB 51) Beginning in 2020, new or modified arbitration agreements may not require workers to arbitrate labor code claims or claims of discrimination/harassment under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), unless the agreement is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and meets certain other requirements. Companies should have an attorney review their arbitration forms to ensure that agreements entered into beginning 2020 will be enforceable. Paid Family Leave (SB 83) Monetary benefits under Paid Family Leave, a California state program, will be extended from 6 weeks to 8 weeks, beginning on July 1, 2020. San Francisco's supplemental pay ordinance will follow California law and will also extend to 8 weeks. Companies that provide supplemental pay during leaves should review their policies. Statute of Limitations for FEHA Claims (AB 9) The statute of limitations to file a complaint with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) will be extended from one year to three years. Because employees may then take an additional year to file a civil suit after filing the DFEH charge, a minimum 4-year record retention policy is suggested. Injury Reporting (AB 1805) The California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal OSHA) reporting obligations have been expanded. The 24-hour hospitalization requirement has been removed. Now, any hospitalization must be reported, excluding those for medical observation or diagnostic testing. [email protected]

Home wwwhive Deadline looms for entry to Ontario Liberal leadership race Deadline looms for entry to Ontario Liberal leadership race It's D-Day for Ontario Liberal leadership candidates. The deadline for joining the contest, which costs $100,000 to enter, is 5 p.m. Monday. Barring any last-minute surprises, it appears that five people will be vying to lead and rebuild a moribund party that was all but wiped out by Premier Doug Ford's Progressive Conservatives in the June 2018 election. Ford ended a Liberal dynasty that extended back almost 15 years, reducing the Grits to seven seats in the 124-member legislature. Thanks to retirements, the Liberals' standing has dwindled to just five MPPs, though they are favoured to win winter byelections in Ottawa-Vanier and Orleans. The perceived front-runner in the leadership race that will be decided at a delegated convention in Mississauga on March 7 is Steven Del Duca, a former minister who lost in Vaughan-Woodbridge to Tory Michael Tibollo. His main challengers are MPPs Michael Coteau (Don Valley East) and MPP Mitzie Hunter (Scarborough Guildwood), who were ministers in former premier Kathleen Wynne's cabinet. Kate Graham, who finished third in London North Centre in last year's election, and Alvin Tedjo, the 2018 runner-up in Oakville-Burlington North, are also running for the top job. Del Duca said the Liberals "have an extraordinary opportunity — the five of us in this race, working with the women and men of our party across the province — to learn from those challenges and move forward." But he warned last week that regaining the trust of Ontario voters will be "a pretty steep hill" for the party to climb. "We still have to raise millions of dollars as a party. We still have to win two byelections that will be coming up in Ottawa over the next couple of months. We're going to have to nominate well over 100 candidates who are not currently incumbents," said Del Duca. "And we're going to have to develop a platform of ideas that are so compelling that voters will once again say — even though they put us into the penalty box back in June 2018 — that they … have an open mind and an open heart to what we're offering." All of that before the June 2022 election. Hunter said the party needs to modernize and ensure the voices of young people are heard. Youth in particular have been affected by a number of Conservative policies in elementary, secondary, and post-secondary education, and she said "we need to restore every dollar that was taken out of financial aid" for college and university students. "When we think about how Ontarians have lost trust in Doug Ford and the chaotic way he's governed, it's been disappointing and they are looking to the Liberal party," said Hunter. "We've got a lot of hard work that we need to do in our party," she said Friday as she unveiled her affordable housing proposal, which includes co-living buildings for students and seniors, more density around transit stops and better protections for renters. Get more politics in your inbox Make sense of what's happening across the country and around the world with the Star's This Week in Politics email newsletter. "We need to get out to listen to Ontarians, focus on them and making sure we are building the party from the ground up, not the top down." All the candidates have been releasing policy plans. Coteau's recent proposal to make transit fares free over the next decade garnered headlines across Ontario. "Climate change is an urgent, existential threat. We need to act in ways that empower Ontarians to reduce their carbon footprint and save their hard-earned money," he said earlier this month. "Our actions must be bold and decisive … I believe, as a principle, that like other public services in Ontario, public transit should be free at the point of access." While Tedjo, a former Queen's Park political aide, is seen as a long shot, his call last month for an end to publicly funded Catholic schools garnered much attention, including a high-profile interview on CBC Radio's Metro Morning. "As a Catholic I have a choice, but others don't have that choice," said the father of three young children who attend Catholic school. Graham, meanwhile, is casting herself as an outsider from beyond the insular "beltway" of Queen's Park. A fellow at the Centre for Urban Policy and Local Governance at Western University in London, she said the Liberals need to address issues that resonate beyond the Greater Toronto Area. The five leadership hopefuls will gather for a party "showcase" Thursday at the Chestnut Convention Centre in downtown Toronto.

Everything Everything are set to stage an artist residency at Manchester Central Library from November 10-15. The band will host the Chaos To Order event at the newly re-opened venue, bringing in a host of other artists and creatives for a week of "events and experiments which will challenge perceptions of libraries" according to a press release. The band – who are from Manchester – will be working with the Brighter Sound organisation on the project and it will be taking place as part of the Library Live series of events. Everything Everything are currently working on their third album, the follow-up to 2013's 'Arc'. Speaking to NME earlier this year, Everything Everything frontman Jonathan Higgs said of the album: "We want to be more instinctive, do it straight from the top of our domes." He added that touring Europe with Foals inspired some of the band's new material after Yannis Philippakis of the Oxford band played Higgs a collection of old prison recordings.

After weeks of searching, the NYPD has located the teenager connected to the murder of Tess Majors. This update on the case comes after the NYPD made the unusual action in releasing the pictures of the suspect even though he is a minor. Another allegedly involved individual, a thirteen-year-old, was arrested two weeks ago. NYPD Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison confirmed that the teenager has been located via Twitter this morning. It is not specified whether the individual is in custody or where he was located. Bwog reached out this morning and the NYPD refused to comment further as "this remains an active an[d] ongoing investigation." Update 3:25 PM: According to a recent tweet from NYPD Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison, the teenager was released from police custody and is in his attorneys' custody. The investigation is still active. Barnard Gates via Bwog Archives 3 weeks ago at 9:20 pm @Anonymous JUSTICE! FOR TESSA. please advocate for the perpetrators to be tried as adults. Viscous and Heinous crimes have to The same consequences in the punishments for these acts. I'm praying for Justice for Tessa. The sad part is she herself might have forgiven them if she survived this senseless and brutal attack. 3 weeks ago at 9:18 am @Anonymous Remember when all the social justice warriors told us "there was no evidence" the kid was black? That's the state of the alt left. 3 weeks ago at 10:34 am @Anonymous According to the New York Times: "The authorities believed that the teenager's family was shielding him until a mark on his hand healed, an official briefed on the case said. The official described the mark as consistent with a bite." Remind me again why the family members aren't being charged with obstruction of justice?

The School Council is made up of our Year 2 children who all take the responsibility very seriously. Each School Council is elected for a full term, therefore there are 3 different School Councils during the school year. The Autumn term (Sept – Christmas), Spring (January – Easter) and Summer (Return after Easter to July). They are also our playground 'Buddies' ensuring that everyone has someone to play with or talk to at playtime and lunch time. The School Council meet regularly with Mrs Davies (TA Year 2) and discuss their ideas of how to improve things in the school that are important to them. They also put their ideas for fundraising into practice – they held a very successful cake stall in school where they wrote to parents asking for cakes, ran the stall themselves making a very impressive £150 and then made the decision on how the money raised should be spent. They have also organised and run a 'Healthy Smoothie' day, asking parents/carers to provide milk and/or fruit. The children then made healthy, fruit smoothies which they sold to raise funds for their projects. Mr Cross is our Eco Co-ordinator. Our Eco Committee, made up of Year 2 children, work with Mr Cross every Friday afternoon. They help with the chickens, collect litter in the local vicinity of our school and have helped plant the flowers in our lovely planters which were donated by 'Keep Wales Tidy'.

Exercise is recommended for people with diabetes as it brings a range of health benefits. Hiking and walking can be done at your own pace and is a great way to see the world while staying healthy. What's an international hiking blog post without a route in Yosemite? Every twist and turn in this national park provides a stunning view. But the day-hike up Four Mile Trail to Glacier Point might just take the top prize for best views. In just 9.2 round-trip miles, hikers can tick off postcard panoramas of Yosemite Falls, Sentinel Rock, El Capitan, Half Dome, Vernal Fall, and Nevada Fall. Cat Bells only reaches the modest height of 451 metres, but it's one of the Lake District's most popular and cherished peaks. Rising in a distinctive cone above the sparkling surface of Derwent Water, this is a perfect starter hill for anyone experiencing hillwalking for the first time. A lovely scenic route starting and finishing at the Vee & taking in Knockmealdown & several other peaks, including Sugarloaf Hill. On the Karnaistenkorpi nature trail, you can find the atmosphere of wilderness close to the metropolitan region. If you have sharp eyes, you may also spot the Threetoed Woodpecker and the Eurasian Pygmy Owl that nest in the area. The trail offers a fairytale setting for both quiet walks, exciting adventures for the children, and orienteers training for competitions. Don't let the name of this hike deter. Hell's Hole is a difficult hike, but its challenge is rewarded. This trail travels through the woods to a high alpine basin in the Mount Evans Wilderness. When it ends at Hell's Hole, the path opens to a meadow where alpine willows grow in the shadow of Gray Wolf Mountain and Mount Evans. The only hell of the day will be found in the busy passing lanes of I-70 on the way there! The most beautiful and most famous hike in South Korea to see the fall leaves and spring flowers. You'll need a whole day for this stunning route. This trail is the section of the via Francigena leading from Bolsena to Montefiascone. The route takes you through scenic towns and countryside (spot the many wild flowers) and by the stunning lake of Bolsena. There is nowhere in Wales with as many spectacular waterfalls in such a small area as the part of South Wales known as Waterfall Country. Here, the rivers Mellte, Hepste and Neddfechan have worn away the soft rocks to create steep wooded gorges full of caves and waterfalls. Leaving the tourist office, this relaxing route takes you on a loop to the top of the hill, with great views of the city. Admire the landscape and architecture as you climb sixteenth century stairs and pass the fourteenth century chapel. The Old Rag Mountain hike in the Shenandoah National Park is one of the most popular hikes in the mid-Atlantic region. With many spectacular panoramic views, and one of the most challenging rock scrambles in the park, this circuit hike is a favourite of many hikers! Through the forest and along the river, explore the sedimentary and granite rock formations around Slieve Donard; and discover an old "ice house". Experience views extending north towards Scrabo Hill and the Ards Peninsula with Britain visible beyond. Stroll the eclectic downtown area, visit the majestic Capitol, climb Mansion Hill, and take in the lakeshores on both sides of the isthmus in this relaxing city walk. There are plenty of shops and restaurants for interesting stops. Head to the highest point of the South West Coast Path for breath-taking views. For dramatic coastline there's nowhere like it - try this bite-sized slice of Britain's longest long distance path and see if you agree. This path leads across the island of Skaftö, running along small roads, nature paths and old transport trails. The islands are characterized by old farms, fishing and boating villages and a large amount of holiday houses. The many viewpoints enable you to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Do you have any route recommendations, or did you try out one of these routes? Let us know on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram!

Marjorie Taylor Greene Says She Was 'Sucked Into' QAnon Conspiracy Theories (Video) Rosemary Rossi Marjorie Taylor Greene's promotion of QAnon conspiracy theories was called into question Sunday on Fox News' "MediaBuzz," when host Howard Kurtz asked if she still supported it. The controversial representative from Georgia joined Kurtz to talk about Kevin McCarthy's win for the House speakership that finally came to pass on Friday after 15 rounds of voting, for which she took partial credit. But he also confronted her about her past affiliation with QAnon and the spreading of crazy conspiracy theories they are best known for, like that there is a global cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles led by Democrats. "That was raw politics," Kurtz said, referring to Greene being stripped of her committee assignments because of those views and the violent rhetoric that ensued. "But in fairness, didn't you also say around that period that you had been a follower of QAnon conspiracy theories, and you had rethought this and you were no longer influenced by the group?" Jake Tapper Slams Marjorie Taylor Greene's 'Play Acting' Takedown of Fuentes: 'Might Make More Sense' if They Didn't Share a Stage (Video) Greene placed the blame on the internet. "Well, like a lot of people today, I had easily gotten sucked into some things I had seen on the internet. But that was dealt with quickly early on. I never campaigned on those things. That was not something I believed in. That's not what I ran for Congress on. So, those are so far in the past." You can check out her response above. Since assuming office in January 2021, video surfaced of Greene expressing racist, antisemitic and Islamophobic views, for which she was condemned. But the controversy around her has continued to bubble, with her promotion of many baseless conspiracy theories, including that the Clintons were responsible for murders, that the Democratic Party was responsible for a satanic child sex trafficking ring and that the California wildfires were caused by space lasers owned by a Jewish family. 'The View': Whoopi Says Marjorie Taylor Greene Should Be 'Behind Bars' After Bragging She 'Would've Won' Jan. 6 (Video) Newly empowered House Republicans are preparing to oust Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Somali-born Muslim lawmaker, from the House Foreign Affairs Committee over her past comments critical of Israel — and as payback after Democrats booted far-right GOP lawmakers from committees for their incendiary, violent remarks. A procedural vote Wednesday showed unified Republican support for moving against Omar, who has apologized for comments that she has said she came to understand were viewed as antisemitic. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has been eager to flex Republican power to remove the Minnesota Democrat after he blocked Rep. Adam Schiff and Rep. Eric Swalwell, both California Democrats, from rejoining the House Intelligence Committee once the GOP took control of the chamber in January. U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has angry unions to the left of him, anxious Conservative Party lawmakers to the right and, in the middle, millions of voters he must win over to avert electoral defeat. Installed as Conservative leader after Truss' plan for huge tax cuts sparked panic, the 42-year-old Sunak calmed financial markets and averted economic meltdown after he assumed the post of prime minister on Oct. 25. Next, Britain's youngest leader for two centuries — and its first prime minister of South Asian heritage — has promised to tame soaring inflation, get the sluggish economy growing, ease pressure on the overburdened health care system and "restore the integrity back into politics" after years of scandals under former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Vodacom Blue Bulls flanker Dewald Potgieter, is going to be on the sideline for at least four weeks after he fractured his wrist. X-rays on Monday confirmed Potgieter has a fracture after he had some troubles with his wrist for the last two weeks, and therefore coach Frans Ludeke will have to select a new loose trio for the weekend's match. Potgieter's partner in the Super 14, Deon Stegmann, will be available for Friday's clash against the Boland Cavaliers and Pedrie Wannenburg is also up for selection, after both recovered from injury. Apart from Stegmann and Wannenburg, Burton Francis as well as John Mametsa is also training again and they will be eager to show they belong in the starting XV. Francois Hougaard, who had to withdraw from the match against the Sharks owing to a groin injury, has recovered and might start at scrumhalf against the Cavaliers and although Wilhelm Steenkamp (knee), Flip van der Merwe (shoulder) and Fudge Mabeta (ankle) did not train with the team on Monday, Dr Org Strauss believes they will be fit for the fourth round clash. Nah, I think Duane Vermuelen is a better player!! And Stegman? We have quite a bit of depth, I won't be bold enough to choose the next 7, thanks. Stegmann = Walking yellow card!!! @molly (Comment 9) : Rob thinks Wannenburg is great. @molly (Comment 9) : hey – I like him! Unchanged Boks team for Saturday announced.

Startup of the week | Vidooly- the video intelligence platform using analytics By Srishti Deoras Team Vidooly at a Outing at Kingdom of dreams in Gurgaon The one of its kind video analytics and marketing company, Vidooly, has been providing tools for online video creators, multi channel networks, digital focused brands and agencies since 2014. Well, it might have spent just two years in the industry, but it has already been proving its uniqueness from its global counterparts as it caters to multiple stakeholders of the online video ecosystem unlike most others. Founded by Subrat Kar, Nishant Radia and Ajay Mishra, the idea of founding Vidooly was conceptualized over a friendly lunch meet in Noida when they randomly started discussing the possibilities in the field of online video. This is when, all three video enthusiasts saw a tremendous opportunity in this ecosystem and Vidooly came into existence. What is the tech behind Vidooly? Claiming to use analytics in its working, AIM tried to know how exactly is Vidooly using Artificial Intelligence and Analytics? Here's how it is. With a drastic increase in the number of people connected to the internet, there has been a steady increase in the quality of connections and in the number of audience in the online video space. In such a scenario, Vidooly believes that it is more important than ever to understand the behaviour of the digital audience. "With so much viewership happening everyday, online video creators and brands need to understand data to understand their audience. We at Vidooly have been tracking the data signals of around 15 Billion video views and 100 million audience members every day! That's a lot of data", said Subrat, the CEO of Vidooly. Subrat has been an entrepreneur and used to work at Jabong before taking a stint at Vidooly where he also looks after the Sales and Business Development. Vidooly uses this goldmine of data to predict the behaviour of audience depending on the need of the customers. "We even have built our own custom technology that can predict the virality of content. Our brand solution tool has a feature that tells them which videos are about to trend in the days to come. This is an invaluable piece of information that brands can use to strategically advertise and get the maximum ROI for their spend", added Subrat. So, how has been the growth story? With an interesting concept in hand, the journey has been exciting and difficult at the same time, avers Nishant who takes the position of CMO and is in charge of marketing piece. "Vidooly started off with a focus just on YouTube and then slowly started becoming more platform agnostic. Right now, Vidooly's big data engine tracks data from all the four major social media platforms – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube", he said. Nishant has earlier worked with Headstrong. While starting off in 2014, the concept of online video ecosystem in India was still at a nascent stage and after overcoming the biggest challenge of making potential customers understand the importance of data and analytics, Vidooly has come a long way. It has grown from a team of around 5 people to 40 people within a span of 15 months with a swanky office space in Noida. Seed funded initially by Bessemer Venture Partners, the company has great plans in store for 2017. Form social video, it now plans to spread its wings towards Video On Demand/ OTT as well. "Exciting things are happening in the field of online video in India now. With the entry of global VOD giants like Netflix and Amazon Prime and the emergence of homegrown OTTs like Hotstar and Voot, the audience is spoilt for choices. That's why it is absolutely necessary for brands who want to advertise on these platforms to understand their viewing behaviour to get the best bang for their bucks. YouTube and Facebook video is also gaining massive traction in India given the increased internet connectivity and quality. So, we at Vidooly believe that we're at the right place at the right time", concludes Ajay, who is the CTO and heads the tech team.

The Marple Wharf planning application will not come to the September Marple Area Committee meeting for determination. It is expected to come to the next Marple Area Committee on the 7th November 2018 (there is no meeting in October). We will continue to monitor the situation and confirm progress of the application to Area Committee as soon as we know. On Sunday 16th September a group of the Marple community braved the mist and rain to walk up from Linnet Clough to the new cross for a service of dedication, celebration and thanksgiving for the new "Cobden Cross". Marple Civic Society is one of the many local donors that has enabled the cross to be replaced by the council of churches in Marple, Compstall, Marple Bridge and Mellor. The New cross of solid French Oak sat in a stainless steel cradle, that replaces the old cross that had rotted and broken, now stands as a symbol of the christian community in the area. As the cross was dedicated the mist slowly rolled back and by the time the congregation was leaving the sun came out. This great land mark now fully restored has a guaranteed life of 500 years. Finally, after almost 10 years, the fate of Marple Wharf is likely to be decided on Wednesday 26th September 2018 at the Marple Area Committee meeting. Now, we can only put our trust in our councillors to do what they are elected to do i.e. vote on the planning application and give their reasons for their decision to their electorate. We therefore trust that all councillors will use their vote and that the decision is made by them in Marple - not shunted off to a planning committee that has little knowledge of, and no passion for Marple and Marple Wharf. Recently, the application has been held up yet again because, this time, the highways engineers were not happy with the access arrangement. In order to satisfy them, CRT's developer, H2O Urban, have had to alter the already unsatisfactory parking arrangement. The result is an even more confusing parking scheme and the loss of one visitor parking space (only two spaces remain). This demonstrates, yet again, that the site is too small for the development that is being crammed into it. See the civic society's response to this latest amendment HERE. If you have not yet responded to the Marple Wharf planning application, or wish to send further comments, it isn't too late to do so. You can view previous responses HERE & HERE Please feel free to use our responses to help you to write your own if you wish. We will confirm details of Marple Area Committee once the agenda is released one week in advance of the meeting. Confirmation will appear on our website when it is known and members emailed accordingly. The venue for the Area Committee meeting is Marple Senior Citizens Hall in the Memorial Park and it will start at 6pm. Attending the meeting is the last thing you can do for Marple Wharf. Although public speaking will not be allowed, your presence will speak volumes to those making the decision.

Panagia Trimartiri Chania Panagia Trimartiri is the metropolitan church of Chania, as well as the patron saint of the city. Dating back to 1860, while it is built on the foundations of an earlier temple. It is a three-aisled temple, with the central aisle dedicated to the entrance of Holy Mary in the temple of Solomonta, the north to Saint Nikolas and the southern to the Three Holy Hierarchs. About 1645, the temple was turned into a soap factory by Mustafa Pasha, to whom the area belonged, while the legend says that after the intervention of the Holy Mary, he changed his mind and allowed the Christian residents to perform the erection of the church, which was completed in 1860, giving it, its today's form.

Alden HS Presents: "Spook House" Featured above are the "monsters" from 'Spook House'. Pictured left to right is: Bridie (Brooke Strausbaugh), Cleopatra (Jocelyn Borynski), Frank (Everett Gilbert), Jekyll & Hyde (Carl Aldinger), Serpentine (Lily Hart), Hazel (Emma Retzlaff), Countess Dracula (Brooke Meyer), Count Dracula (Dylan Kiener), H.B. (Ian Johnson), and Harry (Joe Wallace) on the set of 'Spook House'. Filed under Arts, Community News, News, School News, Showcase We are just one week away from the curtain opening on Alden High School's fall play, 'Spook House'! 'Spook House' is a "creepy comedy" written by Billy St. John about ten misunderstood monsters that all live in the same house, protected from the outside world. However, when Tax Assessor and descendant of the vampire slayer Abraham Van Helsing VI (Max Gucinski) and monster movie producer Monica Myers (Mallory Ronan) try to take their property away to build a movie studio, the monsters and direct descendant of Henry Frankenstein, Victoria Stein (Paige Rzepka) along with her boyfriend, Roger Davis (Carl Farrell), decide to throw a party in order to raise the money to save the house. Things get even more complicated when a bank robber, Bert (Dustyn Grunthaner), his "moll", Molly (Hanna Kozma), and two cops, Officer Percy Dalton (Tim Hinsken) and Sergeant Martha Jones (Alex Burdett) get mixed up in the hullabaloo. This play has been the talk of the Alden school community recently with impressive spooky set designs, stunning original costume work, a hilarious script and impressive technical elements. Mr. Matt Masci (Co-Director) has said that "this show isn't well-known and we like that. It allows us to take this incredibly funny show and deliver the story to an audience who doesn't have a preconceived idea of what it should be". Mr. Masci went on to say that Mrs. Amy Froebel (Costume Director) has worked tirelessly on creating monsters completely from scratch and that his good friend Bill Holdsworth (Special FX Makeup Volunteer) has worked with a student team to really take those characters to another level of professionalism. Mr. Masci credited volunteer builder Tom Northem saying he "has truly outdone himself with this show" in bringing the creative set design vision to life and that it is one of the "most detailed sets we've ever created together". Mrs. Jill Farrell (Co-Director) has been working incredibly hard at staging this show and developing the monster characters while Mrs. Lori Gramza (Volunteer Choreographer) has been teaching them how to dance at their monster party. Dress and tech rehearsals are in full-swing and the students and production team are working hard on the final details in hope that the community will come out in strong numbers to support their performance. 'Spook House' will be performed at Alden High School on November 12, 13, and 14th at 7pm with a matinee Saturday at 2pm. Tickets are $10 at the door for general admission and $8 for students and Senior Citizens. Check out the 'Wilson R. Conrad Auditorium' Facebook page for more information. 2 Responses to "Alden HS Presents: "Spook House"" Lyle Grant on November 2nd, 2015 9:02 am Great Article can't wait to see the show!!

I was tempted to stop and talk to him, but after pondering this for a moment, I decided that my friendliness might be interpreted as an application for marriage, so I kept driving, torn between laughter and sorrow. But the rest of the day, I kept thinking about him, realizing that there's a part of me that completely understands his approach. Not that I think the corner of Venice and National Blvd. is the best pool to find a life partner from, but as a recent resident to LA, it's hard to meet people – friends or spouses. Not being in school or at a job, where do others find their people? There's the religious avenue, although after having gone to three different synagogues numerous times, I haven't quite met anyone other than the friendly smile and request if the seat is taken. Now, this could rest entirely on me – perhaps I didn't try hard enough, slipping into my seat quietly and slipping out at the final prayer – but it's hard. It's hard to know who to approach and how to do so without seeming pathetically desperate. Plus, it's one thing to make acquaintances to wave at in the halls of my apartment building, and quite another to find friends to share my life with. But then I realize, I'm full of it – I'm repeating an old script that excuses me from having to put myself out there and make an effort. Being so used to finding friends from the pool of women that I happen to live with or be in class with, I'm accustomed to easy friendships. Friendships that happen quickly and deeply due to being roommates or co-workers – friendships that don't take as much effort because I see them everyday without having to make plans; because we come home at the end of the day to sit on the same couch, or we show up each morning at the same office to gripe for another day. Now that I live alone and am not working in an office or in school, I'm beginning to realize that connections take work, and both participants have to be willing. And they are different kinds of friendships – they move slower and lack the intimacy that comes from brushing your teeth side by side or pulling an all-nighter in the dorm. So I'm quick to write them off as acquaintances and am tempted to back away before they have the chance to blossom into something beautiful. Plus, I realize that the old whining script about trouble meeting people was disproven last night. Who did I spend the evening with? Two friends – my neighbor from across the hall and a woman I met on an airport shuttle. In the ten minutes we shared a van to the off-site airport parking lot to claim our cars, we chatted, traded numbers and realized we lived within two minutes of each other. It could have ended there – a nice woman with a sweet smile. And yet, a couple weeks later, I called her, inviting her to come to synagogue with me, and since then, she has proven to me not only that you can find friends when you least expect them, but also that she is someone who comes through for me at a time when those than I expected to often do not. A true "gutta n'shuma" (a good soul in Yiddish) as my bubby Rene would say. And I am grateful – grateful for these two friends and grateful for the lesson that they teach me that there are friends around every corner if only I make the effort to look for them. So, perhaps Venice and National Blvd. isn't such a crazy place to look for a spouse – still, I don't think I'll be writing my own cardboard sign to find a mate anytime soon. But if you happen to be looking for a husband, there's one for hire in west los angeles.

Share this Story: It's on: Saskatchewan election campaign officially begins It's on: Saskatchewan election campaign officially begins Dave Deibert • Saskatoon StarPhoenix Mar 09, 2016 • June 2, 2020 • 3 minute read • Join the conversation NDP Leader Cam Broten (left) and Saskatchewan Party Leader Brad Wall Photo by Postmedia News With Saskatchewan Party Leader Brad Wall meeting with the Lieutenant Governor Tuesday in Saskatoon to drop the writ, and NDP Leader Cam Broten rallying the troops in Saskatoon on Monday, here are a few soundbites from the last 24 hours as Saskatchewan's 2016 provincial election campaign has officially kicked off, all leading up to voters heading to the polls on April 4 … Saskatchewan Party Leader Brad Wall, in a prepared statement on Tuesday, on the Saskatchewan Party's record compared to the previous NDP government: It's on: Saskatchewan election campaign officially begins Back to video "The NDP had the worst job creation record in Canada. Since 2007, Saskatchewan has had the second-best job creation record in Canada. Under the NDP, our population dropped. Since the Saskatchewan Party was elected, Saskatchewan has grown by over 128,000 people — the strongest period of population growth since the earliest days of our province." NDP Leader Cam Broten, speaking in Saskatoon on Monday, on a lack of clarity from the current government: "The Sask. Party hasn't brought forward a budget, they've talked about draconian cuts and they won't talk about what they're going to privatize next," said Broten. "The question is, when times are tight, who can you trust to protect and fix the public services we count on, like health care and education?" Wall, on wait times and tax increases: "The NDP had the longest surgical wait times in Canada. Saskatchewan now has the shortest surgical wait times in Canada. The NDP closed 52 hospitals, 176 schools and 1,200 long-term care beds for seniors. Our government has built new hospitals, schools and long-term care homes. The NDP raised taxes 21 times in 16 years. The Saskatchewan Party has delivered record income tax and education property tax cuts for everyone in Saskatchewan and has kept taxes low." Broten, on Wall's claims that NDP election promises would increase the province's debt to $5.5 billion. The Saskatchewan Party's third-quarter financials, released last week, showed a $427-million deficit: "He's making up numbers, first of all," Broten said. "Secondly, coming from the guy who is running nearly a half-a-billion dollar deficit, moreover coming from the party that for this whole lean project that they've plowed over $150 million into, independent studies show that for every one dollar of so-called savings … they had to spend $1,511." Wall, on ensuring the economy stays strong despite low oil prices around the globe: "We will keep taxes low, continue to invest in much-needed infrastructure projects and control operational government spending. Again, compare that to the NDP's record in government when they raised taxes, stopped investing in infrastructure and drove people, jobs and investment out of Saskatchewan." Broten, on the Global Transportation Hub deal. GTH purchased 204 acres of land west of Regina for $103,000 per acre and then sold 58 acres of the same land to the Ministry of Highways for $50,000 per acre: "People know that this stinks and they want some answers on this."

May 22, 2007 #11 puni88 Moderator Staff Member IL Hall of Fame hi pavithra, Please don't mind my comments on your comments. It is my own experience which i would to tell : Your comments on men "i think men have their own brains and can think wats right n wrong." I think it doesn't hold good for all men. Some men does't have brain that they will think logically and judge people. I have some extremeties in my own family. My husband doesn't have brain, whatever his mom says he just listens. Out of fear to this dialogue '"kalyanathukku aparam paiyyan mariduvan", my husband always so cautious in front of his mom that he doesn't sleep in my room, doesn't talk to me for a min also. Where as his elder brother is 50% better, he listens to both mom and wife. YOunger one listnes only to his wife, he never leaves his wife for a moment. Punitha puni88, May 22, 2007 pavithrasriram Bronze IL'ite hi puni, i also agree with u.its not all of them i meant, there are exceptions.i think it would be easier if the husband also took care of his wife's needs sumtime.its not fair always worryin abt wat others wud say.we have to live life for ourselves,we always can't keep thinkin abt wat others say.rite? pavithrasriram, May 23, 2007 krish22 Senior IL'ite The foto story really hillarious.. And Puni is true. If men have brains also they won't bather to use on their mothers and sisters. Infact they try to use on wives.Simply they tell I can't tell them what's wrong and right.Their sorry is anyway waste for us. Krish. krish22, Jul 17, 2007 padmaiyangar Bronze IL'ite the article is good, nice and I liked . I am 50 plus padmaiyangar, Jul 20, 2007 rajmiarun Gold IL'ite 100% true. This is for all the statements given above by all. What is the role of a wife in a family? One of my friend says it sarcastically; she is all in one but none for all!!!! Does it fit any where? Husbands !!!! Always becomes a exclamatory mark. When he is a son of the parents, he is too good a son. When he is the brother of his siblings again too good. When he is the father of his kids, too good to the core that the kids say that they have the best father in the world. What about being the best man for a woman? No one knows what does that mean. All that a man think about her is he is giving his share of money and she is in turn what is to be given by a woman and there is nothing so special about it. How many husbands realize that woman too have special qualities, qualifications and thoughts? Not all men. Infact only a very few identify the hidden talents of their wives and help them nurture it. Then too by the humbleness of the wife they are put forward in the front and get the credit done. I want to share a story : There was a girl who loved her father the most. He was everything for him and whatever he said she agreed to it. According to the father the mother is fit for nothing and she is nothing but a person who just gave birth to his daughter. The girl is exceedingly great in everything she does and she is the class topper, she studied all her education including her foreign education in scholarship which made her father beam even more. She got a very good job and the entire family moved to a very big house provided by the company. Still the mother insisted that she cooked daily inspite of all the servants that were provided by the company. All were going smooth and one fine day the father got a severe heart attack and without even talking to his beloved daughter. The daughter cried, cried and cried for days together. But it dawned on her that her mother did never cried right from the moment her father had passed off. She was getting irritated and burst out one day at her mother that she has no heart and she is not worried about the death of her father that is her husband. It was then the girl's aunt came to their house who had been away in US after her marriage. And who was unable to attend her brother's funeral. She was so sympathetic towards her sister-in-law. She never grieved over her brother's death. She told her niece that all these years she had been in touch with her sis in law through letters, and had known all the girl's acheivements through her mother. She is a proud mother said her aunt. The girl brushed off her saying that she could be anything but she is not a good wife; she has never cried over the loss of her husband. Her aunt chuckled and said infact I am happy that your mother is free now startling the girl. She looked at her aunt confused who said do you know anything about your mother? Do you know who she is and what she is? She is a great painter and a good singer. She was m classmate and friend at highschool and college; your father (she said I dont like him to be called my brother) wanted to marry her and my parents seeked your mother's hand and they were so proud as by that time your mother had sung close to 100 songs in films and for a song she had also got national award. Her paintings are too good and intricate that even the smallest one fetched great money as her colour sense is too good. The girl still looked confused, her aunt continued it was just because ofyour father she stopped everything, as she gained more name, fame and money your father cannot bear it. But this stupid friend of mine was in head over heels love with him that she accepted all his conditions. He asked her to quit singing and painting that she became a mere housewife. Though many including me persuaded her not to do it she accepted what all her husband has asked for and went into a shell. The girl started realising things that had happened all through her life; she had always thought that it was her father who had drawn all the record note drawings but the truth is it was her mother who never took the credit. So many simple things like that had been done by her mother and not by her father who had always taken the false credit. For once in her life she started seeing things differently. She started having a great respect for her mother and her father started going down in her respect. Just then her mother started singing the song for which she had got National Award. The girl always loved the song and she had always wanted to meet the singer who have sung the song though she was unable to trace her as the singer is no longer singing and her whereabouts is also unknown. She was awestruck that it was her mother who is the singer and all along she had been searching for the singer. She hugged her mother for the first time in her life and cried out her heart just to see her mother break into great sobs and louder cries. She started feeling all the remorse she had for her mother turn towards her father and stopped crying for him. She now promised her aunt that she will support her mother from now on and all the hidden talents of her mother will be bought to light by her and it will be her life's aim." rajmiarun, Jul 30, 2007 Aug 18, 2007 #16 SunitaGN New IL'ite puni88 said: ↑ Very true. WhatZ the use of telling sorry after 50 yrs. I don't except from my husband, because he never says sorry to me and he is such a male chauvinistic that he will never feels sorry for whatever he has done, infact at that time too he might say that his mom was very great person.:bangcomp: :bangcomp: (one is for my MIL and another is for my husband) Atleast I will teach my sons not to ill treat their wives. :mrgreen: hahaha... sorry no i dont mean to laugh at your troubles! as a fellow woman (only without the frustrations u r facing) i understand what u r going thru.. its just your hammering that made me laugh! I absolutely admire this sense of humor (for what else can it be called!) among the many members on this website. Thank you :-D I really love the spirit, girls. SunitaGN, Aug 18, 2007 WesternDevi New IL'ite Most of the posts on this site deal with how bad in-laws are and how the husband never takes side of his wife coz like a baby he is still afraid of Mommy. Are men in India really that childish? Why don't men in India love their wives and stick up for them? If they are not ready to do that, then they are not ready to marry and should just continue to suck milk from their Mommies boobs. And on the other hand it is the fault of the wives for allowing their husbands to treat them like sh*t. A wife has to lay down the law on how she will allow herself to be treated, and that should be with RESPECT. WesternDevi, Aug 27, 2007 dear western devi, very sorry to know you have got a picture like this from the asian community, but if more woman came here sharing their excellent relationship this site would be tooo over crowded with such letters, we as humans remember the wrong things more, and may be that is why we come here to find solace, when the parents of the girl stand helplessly, watching these as they have no go, and then the integral feeling of adjusting and staying together to make a family goes out, we fail in many ways, because we are emotionally too tied up, we are ready to pardon the other for his mistakes, which may be the men take advantage about...i know your anger, many of us share this here, and we try to console them in whatever way possible. we are now getting more and more independant financially and i think a change is already all over, that is why we get so many divorce cases all over, which is not good for the human relation..thanku for your opinion,men all over the world are childish and we have all to work together to understand that...regards sunkan sunkan, Aug 27, 2007 Abha Bronze IL'ite Dear Western Devi By the way what sort of language are you using here !!! please mind you language. Seeing your posts you yourself seem to be quite sexually frustrated ! Abha, Aug 27, 2007 You mean to say one for all and none for one. As opposed to the popular saying, "one for all and all for one". I am sorry to read all of this harsh treatment of wives by their husbands and in-laws in India. Here in USA, generally speaking, such treatment is borderline illegal and certainly court-case worthy. Although there is beauty in "traditional cultures", I feel that for women the negativity far outweighs the positivity. However, women are to blame for this. Unless we stick up for ourselves, who will? It is time for Indian women to be bold and take a stand. Do not give in to unreasonable demands and do not put your life on hold for any man or his mother. It seems that the family structure of India, of which so many Indians are proud, is actually the cause of most of the grief women in India experience. Women spoil their male children so that they expect their wives to serve them tea from the very first day of marriage onwards. Even the mother in law expects this and thus I'm reading that if any man serves tea to his wife in bed, he has to hide that from his mother! These things are absolutely inconceivable here in USA, unless you visit the homes of some "traditional" hindus or muslims from foreign countries. And then there is a demand that such people "assimilate" to the bigger cultural norm of gender equality. These reasons are the same reason why my mother left India at the age of 20 and made a life for herself on her own here in USA back in the 60's. She wanted to know what it was like to be in an equal and loving relationship with a man. On the otherhand I know there are several MEN who are suffering in India as well. A very good American psychiatrst friend of mine visited India recently and she came back saying that as soon as people found out she was a psychiatrist they all started opening up to her about their unhappiness in marriage, and it was mostly men who complained about a lack-lustre marriage with an unloving wife who did not know how to have fun. So I realize it's not just women who are suffering in dead-end relationships. Something must be wrong with the fabric of the marriage system in India to have so many dissatisfied people. At least here if you are dissatisfied in marriage you can leave and make a life on your own or find another partner and nobody cares or talks about you. In my humble opinion, gained from experience growing up as an Indian-American and seeing alot of unhappy, dry, lifeless desi marriages even here, I would say that it's an imbalance of power that creates unhappy unions. If a female is taught from birth, either through words or the example of her mother, that her whole purpose in life is to get married to a "suitable boy" from a "good family" and act as his and his parents servant for the rest of her life, to tolerate and "adjust" as much as she can and then some more, then she grows up with an inferiority complex which is very hard to overcome. If she has no power in the family, in the marriage structure, then what is her fate? A wife is more like a child, or worse, like a servant, in a relationship where she is supposed to be a respected equal. To live in fear of one's in-laws or to constantly worry what they will think about how you look, eat, dress or browse the internet is in essence to live like a 10 year old child in fear of her mommy and daddy. For goodness sake, a married woman is an adult! Ladies, I haven't been to India since 2004 but I feel I need to make another trip there soon and see what I can do create some awareness on this issues over there. I have a license in relationships counseling and I think I might put it to good use over there. Kaput replied Jan 17, 2022 at 10:08 PM

Q: Text filling up from left to right How can I get started filling up text similar to this screen? Should I use a Handler and delay every character? The background is that I am coding a mini game for Android similar to the classic Moon Patrol and now I want to create bonus for completing a checkpoint.

Some of Hollywood's biggest names were there to attend the event, including Camila Mendes and the cast of This Is Us. YEM was there in NYC to bring our readers live coverage from the show. Check out our coverage here! Photo Credit: Getty for POPSUGAR The morning was rounded out by an uplifting panel, "Power Your Evolution," which saw actress Mandy Moore get candid about failure and nerves in a discussion moderated by her This Is Us co-star Susan Kelechi Watson. Mandy talked about her recent experiences with hiking, which includes her recent trip to climb Mount Everest. Mandy also talked about her return to the music studio. She is writing and recording new songs, and collaborating with her husband. And she said her favorite lyrics in her new music are "Forgiveness is not a favor." Susan asked Mandy the question, "Who is the woman you are becoming and what should we know about her?" Mandy thought for a moment and then responded by saying, "I am becoming a force by my own definition." On the topic of wellness, Mandy also told the audience, "There's no substitute for time and the wisdom and clarity that comes with it." The day continued with another This Is Us star, Milo Ventimiglia, and actress Amanda Seyfried, who appear together in the upcoming film The Art of Racing in the Rain. Ventimiglia and Seyfried were joined by adoptable puppies as part of a partnership with the Best Friends Animal Society. Plus the spirit of Pride Month was alive with a panel hosted by charitable partner GLAAD bringing together some of the biggest voices in the LGBTQ+ community: Nico Tortorella (Actor, Younger), Alicia Garza (Principal and Founder, Black Futures Lab), Carmen Carrera (RuPaul's Drag Race), Brad Goreski (fashion stylist and TV personality), David Burtka (actor and chef) and GLAAD Director of Talent Engagement, Anthony Ramos, who led the conversation. Riverdale star Camila Mendes sat for a discussion about empowering one's own confidence. Mendes said, "It's scary [being on social media] because. . . You can delete your post, but it's everywhere. You'll never escape the choices you make." She talked about her own battle with an eating disorder, saying, "I never knew I had an eating disorder until my sister had an eating disorder as well. She's bulimic. My situation was never a comparison, I would purge every once in a while, thinking it's not a big deal." But after being cast as Veronica Lodge on Riverdale, Camila appearance became a topic of conversation in the media. One day during a fitting for Riverdale, Camila snuggled to feel comfortable with her body. "I don't dress like Veronica (on Riverdale) normally…she always looks perfect. The pressure of playing a character like that made me perceive myself differently." This led to her talking with a therapist and a nutritionist. And now, Camila said she wants to show her audience what women really look like. And one step at a time, she is changing how Hollywood and social media portray women and their appearances. Other key moments from the festival's first day featured some of Hollywood's biggest young stars. Sydney Sweeney (HBO's Euphoria), Peyton List, (Disney Channel's Jessie), Sasha Pieterse (Pretty Little Liars) joined forces for a panel entitled "Being Your Own Role Model." The three ladies talked about how they connect with their fans. Sasha is a big Twitter user, since Pretty Little Liars fans use Twitter so often. Peyton occasionally will start friendships with her followers on Instagram. And Sydney said her social media use changes depending on the day – but she really loves getting fanmail! The girls also talked about how their family and friends keep them grounded and inspire them. Head to YEM's Instagram stories for more coverage from Popsugar Playground!

Q: When my object is called via HAML it tries to trigger Active Record instead of just calling a method I have the following HAML snippet being called when constructing an email to send to the user. %p Please <a href="#{base_url}/verify/#{user.primary_email.email}/#{user.registration_token}">click this link to confirm your email address</a>. You will then be logged in and can choose a password and continue the process of confirming your identity. The user object defines the method primary_email def primary_email() result = self.emails.first(:conditions => {:primary => true}) puts "DEBUG: No Primary Email address found." unless result puts "DEBUG: Primary Email address found was #{result.email}" if result return result end but I get the error message NoMethodError - undefined method `primary_email' for #<ActiveRecord::Relation:0x10f0d3a58>: /Users/davesag/src/git/showpony3/rack/ruby/1.8/gems/activerecord-3.0.7/lib/active_record/relation.rb:374:in `method_missing' ./views/user_notifications/confirm_registration.haml:30:in `__tilt_2272398620' ./views/user_notifications/confirm_registration.haml:-7:in `instance_eval' ./views/user_notifications/confirm_registration.haml:-7:in `__tilt_2272398620' /Users/davesag/src/git/showpony3/rack/ruby/1.8/gems/tilt-1.3.2/lib/tilt/template.rb:140:in `call' /Users/davesag/src/git/showpony3/rack/ruby/1.8/gems/tilt-1.3.2/lib/tilt/template.rb:140:in `cached_evaluate' /Users/davesag/src/git/showpony3/rack/ruby/1.8/gems/tilt-1.3.2/lib/tilt/template.rb:127:in `evaluate' /Users/davesag/src/git/showpony3/rack/ruby/1.8/gems/tilt-1.3.2/lib/tilt/haml.rb:24:in `evaluate' /Users/davesag/src/git/showpony3/rack/ruby/1.8/gems/tilt-1.3.2/lib/tilt/template.rb:76:in `render' /Users/davesag/src/git/showpony3/rack/ruby/1.8/gems/sinatra-1.2.6/lib/sinatra/base.rb:563:in `render' /Users/davesag/src/git/showpony3/rack/ruby/1.8/gems/sinatra-1.2.6/lib/sinatra/base.rb:463:in `haml' ./showpony.rb:256:in `build_messge_for' In my simple unit test I test the primary_email method george = setup_dummy_user("George") assert george.primary_email.email == GEORGE_TEST_EMAIL and that passes fine. When I trigger the sending of this template it works once and then fails on the second send within the same request. (an Admin User and test user each get sent the same notification email when I test this via the browser) what's also weird is that in my logs I see the calls to the primary_email method being made. (actual emails redacted) org = {"number"=>"34567890", "name"=>"Test Limited", "country"=>"au", "website"=>"http://www.testing.com"} people = [{"name"=>"Test 1", "username"=>nil, "roles"=>[{"name"=>"admin"}, {"name"=>"billing"}], "email"=>"##############"}, {"name"=>"Test 2", "username"=>nil, "roles"=>[], "email"=>"@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@"}] DEBUG: Primary Email address found was ############## Sending confirmation email to ############## DEBUG: Primary Email address found was ############## Sending confirmation email to @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ DEBUG: Primary Email address found was @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ NoMethodError - undefined method `primary_email' for#<ActiveRecord::Relation:0x10ea44e58>: any clues? Using most recent Sinatra on Ruby 1.8.7 with most recent ActiveRecord and HAML. The actual sinatra route that is triggering the request to send an email is as follows: Note the loop down the bottom that goes through each user supplied (via JSON) and sends them an email. That process triggers the build of a HAML template with the User as a local template variable. It works okay for the first user but not for the second. post '/register' do content_type :json req = JSON.parse request.body.read if req['organisation'] == nil puts req.inspect return {:success => false, :error => "Request did not contain a proper Registration_Request object." }.to_json end org = req['organisation'] people = req['people'] message = "You (#{people[0]['name']} #{people[0]['email']}) have applied for membership on behalf of #{org['name']} (Company Number #{org['number']})." @@log.debug "org = #{org.inspect}" # do we have this org already? oo = Organisation.find_by_name(org['name']) if oo @@log.debug "Found exisiting Org #{oo.inspect}" return {:success => false, :error => "An organisation with that name is already a Member" }.to_json end these_people = [] begin ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do o = Organisation.create(:name => org['name'], :number => org['number'], :website => org['website'], :country => org['country']) @@log.debug "people = #{people.inspect}" people.each {|person| p = User.create(:name => person['name'], :username => person['email'], :password => random_password) p.set_email({:email => person['email'], :primary => true}) p.organisation = o person['roles'].each {|role| p.add_role(role['name']) } p.set_preference("HTML_EMAIL", "true") p.save! these_people << p } end end # send a secure notification to settings.notification_email send_system_email 'Membership Application received', :'system_notifications/registration', {:incoming_org => org, :incoming_people => people } # send an email_validation_request email to each user email. these_people.each {|p| @@log.debug "Sending confirmation email to #{p.primary_email.email}" send_user_email p, 'Please confirm your account details', :'user_notifications/confirm_registration', {:user => p } } return {:success => true, :message => message }.to_json end A: careful inspection of your error shows that you are trying to call "primary_email" method not on ActiveRecord object, but on Relation object this can happen for example if you are getting your "user" variable in the following way user = User.where("some conditions") because "where" returns not array of ActiveRecords, but Relation object to get the actual AR object you can try user = User.where("some conditions").first or user = User.find("some conditions") A: My first thought is to refactor this: result = self.emails.first(:conditions => {:primary => true}) to: result = self.emails.where(:primary => true).first But, not sure it is the cause of your problems. Also, try outputting user.attributes in your method: def primary_email() puts self.attributes.sort result = self.emails.first(:conditions => {:primary => true}) If that does't shed any light, I think you're going to have to give us the code for your User, Organisation and Email models, too. You might also check your database to verify that there isn't a stray column left over from an old migration, perhaps? A: This is going to sound crazy, but try rewriting your haml code in a .haml file so you can take advantage of writing it multiline with indentations: %p - email = user.primary_email.email Please %a{:href=>"#{base_url}/verify/#{email}/#{user.registration_token}"} click this link to confirm your email address... You will then be... Don't forget to @instance your variables

Where Are America's Volunteers Back to All Publications Reports & Working Papers School Authors Nathan Dietz Robert T. Grimm Jr. Publication File Fewer Americans Are Volunteering and Giving Than Any Time in the Last Two Decades Do Good Institute's New Report Examines Trends for all 50 States, 215 Metro Areas The United States recently experienced record highs in total volunteer hours and charitable dollars given to community organizations, however these seemingly positive numbers mask a troubling trend: fewer Americans are engaging in their community by volunteering and giving than in any time in the last two decades. In the first of its kind analysis of data collected by the United States Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Do Good Institute's report, "Where are America's Volunteers?" analyzes adult civic engagement (through giving and volunteering) with community organizations and how the recent national decline in American volunteering played out in all 50 states (plus the District of Columbia) and 215 metropolitan areas. Each year, volunteers work with congregations, charities and other nonprofit organizations to provide needed services of all types to communities. Volunteering has long been recognized as an influential activity for creating productive and engaged citizens and has been seen to help strengthen communities and help volunteers themselves. Volunteers are more likely to stay stronger emotionally, mentally and physically as they age. Other types of civic participation are encouraged, antisocial behavior is discouraged, and socioeconomic achievement is promoted through the act of volunteering. Volunteers help build a community's social capital by working together with their neighbors, finding ways to cooperate and compromise, and becoming more aware and understanding of each of our differences. This report uses data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) conducted by the Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics annually from 2002 through 2015, to calculate volunteering byadults (aged 16 and over). Community organizations have received record highs in total volunteer hours served (in 2014, individuals volunteered 8.7 billion hours of their time) and in charitable dollars given ($410.02 billion in 2017). However, since 2005 the national volunteer rate has declined from 28.8 percent to a fifteen-year low of 24.9 percent in 2015. If the volunteer rate had not declined at all between 2004 and 2015, over 9.8 million more Americans would have volunteered in 2015. Similarly, the percentage of Americans giving to nonprofits annually declined from 66.8 percent in 2000 to 55.5 percent in 2014. "As a nation, we must commit resources and time to the challenging work of putting more Americans back to work improving and engaging with their communities," said Robert Grimm, Director of the Do Good Institute at the University of Maryland. "Continued declines in community participation will produce detrimental effects for everyone, including greater social isolation, less trust in each other, and poor physical and mental health." The report also analyzes data on all 50 states (plus the District of Columbia) as well as 215 metropolitan areas to explore how the significant decline in volunteering played out in their geographical areas and to explain these national trends. Throughout the country, 31 states experienced significant declines in volunteering between 2004 and 2015, while not one state experienced a significant increase in volunteering over that time period. This decline is surprisingly more prevalent in states historically rich in social capital – which is generated by positive interactions between individuals, is closely tied to how, and how often, individuals engage in social and civic affairs. The data also suggest that rural and suburban areas – which historically have higher levels of social capital than urban areas – have seen the biggest declines in volunteer rates in recent years. Between 2004 and 2015, the volunteer rates dropped by more than five percentage points in rural areas, and nearly five percentage points in suburban areas. These trends help explain why significant changes in volunteer rate occurred less often among metropolitan areas than at the state level. Between 2004-2006 and 2013-2015, 57 metro areas (out of 215) experienced a significant decrease 147 metro areas experienced no change, and only 11 produced a significant increase in volunteering. As Nathan Dietz, Associate Research Scholar in the Do Good Institute, observes, "For more than fifty years, researchers have used data from the Current Population Survey to generate reliable statistics on a wide variety of topics. After using the CPS Volunteer Supplement to look at time trends in states and metro areas, we were surprised to find that the recent declines in the national volunteer rate have been strongly influenced by declines in communities that have historically been strongest in volunteering." The analysis of state and metropolitan areas shows that volunteer rates tended to decline in metropolitan areas with fewer places to volunteer, in places where people may be less likely to know their neighbors (like large cities with lower homeownership rates and a higher percentage of multi-unit housing), and in places where there is more economic distress (from high unemployment to high poverty rates).

I'm cheating this week. I'm actually writing this five days prior to the given post date. With good reason: I'll be in Big Sky then, and I'll be waaaaaaay too busy skiing to sit around blogging. Which leads me to today's topic: getting your ski gear ready for a flight. This is something I'm going to have to deal with in a day or two, so for me, it's top of mind. Oh, I know some people ship their stuff to where they're going in advance, but hey, I'm cheap. Plus I'm also a bit OCD about having my equipment with me. So I go through the agony of packing up, carting my stuff through the airport, and praying it makes it to where I'm going, along with the rest of my stuff. First, I never ever never — did I say never? — check my boots. I've worked too hard to get them to fit properly, and if they were lost, I'd have to spend a day or more in rentals, which could wreak enough havoc on my feet to make the rest of my stay unpleasant. So I put boots in a carry-on. I also fill the carry-on with a change of ski clothes, so if my luggage gets lost I'll at least have clothing in which to ski. My bag of choice is a Transpack. The Transpack easily fits in the plane's overhead compartment. And since it's a backpack, it's easy to carry through the airport. The boots go in the boot compartments, and the clothes where the helmet ordinarily fits. Yes, I do bring a helmet. I just put it in my checked bag. Rightly or wrongly, I figure it's the one piece of equipment I could do without, if I had to. Plus it makes the Transpack easier to squish into the overhead. There are loads of ski bags out there: singles, doubles, cloth, hard-shell, wheeled, unwheeled. A few years ago I got a Sportube. It's a hardshell, so it provides a measure of protection that cloth ones don't. And it's wheeled, so it's relatively easy to drag through the airport. My bag is a double, so it's big enough to carry both my and my husband's skis. I also surround the skis with base layers. This provides extra padding, and frees up my suitcase for other stuff. And that's pretty much it. I also check a bag with my non-ski clothing. Now, I know some other Ski Divas just check their skis and bring everything else in a carry-on. I haven't mastered that yet (unfortunately), even though I don't bring a lot of stuff. As I said, there are many paths to the same goal: getting your gear to your destination. And as of right now, this is what works for me. Next time I'll talk about Big Sky. PreviousGetting the most out of ski school. NextBig Fun at Big Sky.

Ukrainian Air Force "Lands" in Reedley Nov 2, 2019 | 2019 Articles, Community, Jim Mulligan by Jim Mulligan It's not very often that a contingent of Ukrainian Air Force officers, or any foreign air force officers for that matter, land in Reedley for a little R and R. But, on a hot August evening this year, that's exactly what happened. No, they didn't literally land their fighter jets in Reedley. They traveled to Fresno to participate in joint exercises with the local Air National Guard as part of a continuing mission of mutual training and good will. After a long day of exercises, they came out to Reedley's Hillcrest Farms just outside the city limits to eat, drink, and enjoy each other's company. Visiting Ukrainian Air Force Officers and pilots and crew from the California Air National Guard based in Fresno gather on the outskirts of Reedley after a long day of training. The mutual partnership is long-running and serves several purposes. Captain Andril Pilshchykov is the Senior Pilot of the Technical Aviation Brigade, stationed near Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. From Ukraine's point of view, Pilshchykov explained, "We are learning about preparation for air fights. You know, Ukraine utilizes the old Soviet system of training. We have some modern technology, but we need to upgrade our training. That's why we are here." While the Ukrainians benefit from learning about training protocols used by U.S military pilots, the benefits for the U.S. are totally different. Col. Rob "Tigger" Swertfager is the Operations Group Commander for the California Air National Guard in Fresno. According to Col. Swertfager, while the evening of recreational activities in Reedley came after a long day of tactical training and discussions, the diplomacy and relationship-building that comes with the recreation is actually the primary goal of the long-term partnership. Swertfager says that while there is a tactical aspect to the joint effort, there is definitely a strategic aspect as well. "They [Ukraine] are in conflict with Russia…it's in our best interest that Ukraine stays as a strong secure buffer against Russia." While a large portion of the time spent together involves tactical training exercises that strengthen Ukraine's ability to defend itself, the diplomatic relationships that emerge are extremely important to the continued positive affiliation between the U.S. and Ukraine. Swertfager himself has been traveling to Ukraine, and hosting Ukrainian Air Force and Army since 2002; he believes that the strong personal bonds that he and others have developed with their international counterparts will pay off in the future if conflict ever escalates with Russia. While this joint program between the Air National Guard and Ukrainian Air Force has been a great opportunity for both countries, it has not come without setbacks. This recent October 16 marked the first anniversary of just one of those setbacks. Just over one year ago, during training exercises in the Ukraine, two pilots, one American and one Ukrainian, died when their SU-27 crashed during a familiarization flight. Fresno native and Clovis High School graduate, U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Seth "Jethro" Nehring, assigned to the California Air National Guard in Fresno, was the U.S. pilot in the fighter jet. Of course, the loss of the two pilots was devastating for their families and their fellow airmen. Yet, as Col. Swertfager comes to terms with the loss, he admits that it has cemented the already strong bonds felt between the two nations. "We've trained together and we've bled together."

Despite the setbacks, this type of international cooperation may be an example of the best kind of diplomacy. When one thinks about international relations, the idea of special envoys or ambassadors traveling to meet with heads of state in a far-off land is likely what comes to mind. In actuality, diplomacy happens at many levels, frequently simultaneously, and sometimes in contradiction of one another, yet all for a common purpose. Even if formal diplomatic efforts seem to be struggling, it could just be these grassroots relationships that continue to shape our strong international partnerships, the kind of positive relationships that might eventually bring peace to all corners of the world. If you are a native or long-time resident of the Central Valley, you can appreciate the slower, less hectic pace that we all keep. You might not realize that among the tranquility, local heroes are taking on the role of diplomat, hosting international guests who won't make the evening news, but may someday be our best allies in difficult times. That's exactly what the pilots of the Fresno-based California Air National Guard, 194th Fighter Squadron are doing when they are not conducting training flights to protect California from the air. It's a complex and interesting mission on top of an already complex and interesting mission. It's pretty cool that our little town of Reedley gets to lend a helping hand to the undertaking. Jim Mulligan is a 6th generation Californian, born and raised in Selma. He has been employed in Reedley on and off for the last twenty years. He married his college sweetheart, a Reedley-ite, Kristi. They now reside in Reedley with their five children. Jim loves to create Bonsai and travel as much as possible, both near and far. He is a member of the KCUSD Board of Trustees and is employed by Reedley College as the Tutorial Coordinator.

Is it ok to use nitro fuel in a nitro RC car since it has a lower nitro content than what a nitro RC is used to running? Will the different nitro fuel percentage damage the engine? Whether or not a change in fuel will hurt your RC depends on the recommended fuel for your specific RC, the brand, and the amount of percentage difference. Nitro fuel has three main components: methanol, nitromethane, and oil along with additives such as anti-corrosion agents or degumming, agents added by the various fuel manufacturers. The amount of nitromethane in the fuel is typically about 20 percent but could be anywhere in the 10 to 40 percent range or higher. The oil that is mixed with a nitro fuel is what helps lubricate all the internal moving parts and keeps the engine running cool. If a nitro engine gets too hot, not only will you see a decline in performance, but worse things can happen. You could permanently damage or ruin the engine. Nitro fuel normally has both castor and synthetic oils in a predefined mixture set by the company that makes it. The percentage of both that are mixed with the nitro fuel is not typically disclosed (although it might be--read the container label). The percentage of oil might range from 8 to 25 percent; 15 to 20 percent is the typical amount of oil found in nitro fuel. When choosing nitro fuel percentages, first look in the manual that came with your nitro RC and check to see what percentage is recommended. If the manual doesn't list what percentage of nitro to use, ask your local hobby shop for advice as most of the employees have either worked on or own RCs. There are many different brands of nitro RC fuels out there and there is no consensus as to which one works best -- it's trial and error to determine which one works best for your nitro RC. Keep in mind that the Nitro RC engine size does matter when deciding what percentage of nitro to go with. Engines that are .21 - .26 or .27 generally use higher percentage nitro fuel in the ranges of 20 to 40 percent. Is it ok to switch nitro fuels? The best answer: maybe. I have switched fuels in a pinch when I've run out of what I normally use as long as it was a small change -- 5 percent or so. Going from 10 up to 20 percent can be harmful if your nitro engine is not tuned right for it (leaning out the air/fuel mixture). Going from 20 percent down to 10 will reduce performance and you will probably need to do some additional tuning (richening the air/fuel mixture). But in general, small changes won't usually damage the engine if you pay close attention to how your RC is running and tune the engine as necessary. Avoid making sudden switches to much higher or lower percentage fuels than you normally use and you don't want to constantly switch back and forth. Ideally, you should stick with the same brand of nitro fuel, even if the nitromethane percentage is different. Each brand may use different types or percentages of oil and other additives so you shouldn't switch brands and nitromethane percentages at the same time. The bottom line is that switching nitro fuel is a matter of trial and error. It's best not to do so if you are new to nitro RCs. Changing fuels will almost always require re-tuning your engine.

This stunning plant is named after the rare mountain gorillas silverback. Flush with anthocyanin, this plant offers a much needed, moderate level of THC. Silverback Stiletto was selected from a fresh encounter between GG4 and Stiletto. It generally follows the glue aroma profile, but tends more complex with a complex terpene profile.

The Oscars are tomorrow, so why not post the greatest Best Original Song winner ever (from the film Once)? Okay, maybe "White Christmas," "Moon River," and "Over the Rainbow" gives it a run for its money. What's your choice? In related news, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová's kinda sweet, kinda creepy relationship is over. Welcome to Dumpsville. Population: you. I BEYOND love that song and the whole soundtrack. I have never listened to "Lies" without tearing up. Thanks for sharing.

'Designated Survivor': Why Has It Had So Many Different Showrunners? "Designated Survivor" has been a buzzy show right out of the gate since launching last fall on ABC, thanks in part to Kiefer Sutherland taking the reins as President Tom Kirkman. So why has the sophomore drama had so much turnover in the showrunner position? "The Good Wife," "Law & Order" and "Gilmore Girls" alum said the series was looking to develop its character relationships and shorter-term storylines, rather than focus on action and government conspiracy. He said the show's team is now concentrating on how to take the hook of its premise and extend it into a project that lasts for years to come. Designated Survivor" airs Wednesdays at 10/9c on ABC. The clandestine former military contractor is the money man behind Pax Americana, the militant, alt-right group trying to take over the government. He talks a lot about "taking America back" and, like the real alt-right, that comes off as code for taking it back from people like progressives, minorities and women. Of course, he's just a greedy jerk who thinks America belongs to him and whoever he decides gets to come along. Evil assassin super soldier Catalan, AKA Nestor Lozano, is a veteran who considers himself left behind by his country. He's basically the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Winter Soldier, but if he was brainwashed by alt-right propaganda and Pepe the Frog memes from 4chan. As expected, it was pretty satisfying to see him go down after Hannah Wells kicked the crap out of him. We finally find out who the mole in the White House is close to the end of Season 1 — this traitorous old white guy. He's probably got a lot of private Facebook posts about how Democrats are trying ruin the country with chemtrails. Even more evil than her husband is Beth MacLeish, who's obviously the real true believer of the couple. She's willing to kill her husband, and die, for whatever it is these people believe in. That's how much she hates democracy, apparently. The Manchurian Candidate vice president was in on the capitol bombing from the start, and was installed to take over the presidency after Lozano assassinated Kirkman. Of all the conspirators, MacLeish at least had some semblance of a conscience — but he still super hates America and wants to pull a coup. In the immediate aftermath of the bombing at the Capitol, Royce basically tried to make Michigan a sovereign nation. He also immediately used his police to target Muslim Americans in his state, making him the kind of fascist who would persecute some Americans to consolidate his own power. The former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff couldn't wait to bomb basically whoever was available, until Kirkman fired him. Cochran got a chance to redeem himself a bit in the final moments of the season, but he's still a warmongering jerk who thought the right thing for America was going to war for vengeance, without knowing who to get vengeance on. After Kirkman survived an assassination attempt and started to get the government back up in running, Bowman tried to use the chaos for his own personal gain. Bowman's the kind of gross politician who personifies the Washington D.C. "swamp" that puts politics ahead of the country. Manipulated by the bad guys, the former White House chief of staff survives the Capitol bombing but goes into hiding. While it's true he didn't know who to trust, one can't help feeling like Langdon could have done a lot more for the country if he hadn't just bunkered down when he knew a coup was underway. Though the bad guys have been feeding him information to try to distract the administration, Abe Leonard's heart is in the right place when it comes to informing the public about their government -- the key to democracy. And he cares enough about the country to respect Kirkman's request to hold back on a story, too. He's also an investigative reporter who briefly works for "Teen Mode," an awesome shoutout to the positive political writing being done at real-world magazine Teen Vogue. Dedicated though he was to the FBI, Atwood couldn't put his country ahead of his family. The conspirators used his kidnapped son to force Atwood to help with their cover story blaming the Capitol bombing on terrorists. It nearly torpedoed the investigation, but Atwood redeemed himself by joining Hannah in finding the real conspirators. For a while there, it seemed like Aaron could be the traitor in the White House, and he was just cutthroat enough that it was hard to dismiss the possibility. But while he might be a guy more worried about his career than most other things, he was still willing to fall on his sword for his president, and for the good of America. The only remaining member of Congress, the Speaker of the House was the Republican designated survivor. Although at first she seems like a political animal looking to climb the ladder, she also proves repeatedly that she cares about America as much as her career. Not quite as selfless as some, but Hookstraten is a real public servant, at least. The FBI assistant director called in to investigate Hannah Wells, and then Jason Atwood, took a long time to come around to the conspiracy. But when he finally did, he became a dedicated ally who obviously takes his obligation to the president, and the country, very seriously. As Kirkman's most reliable and loyal Secret Service agent, Mike becomes a close confidant and a leader of the investigation into the White House conspiracy. It's clear that Mike is a guy for whom duty, loyalty and country are everything. President Moss, the guy who sat in the Oval Office before Kirkman's predecessor, shows up to help out the designated survivor with some of the tougher stuff -- seemingly because he wants to help Kirkman and America through a trying time. Moss is like America's Dad -- the one who will share a beer with you while telling you straight. Speechwriter Seth often seems to act as the stand-in for the rest of us — the guy is excited to be in his job, excited to be working for America, and excited to be on Kirkman's staff. "Designated Survivor" starts with a skeptical Seth being inspired by the principled Kirkman, and watching him get excited to help the country is always a good time. It's clear the reason Emily sticks with Kirkman and fights to become his chief of staff is less about her own advancement than how much she believes in him. Especially when Kirkman becomes president, Emily comes off as a person thrilled to go to her job in the White House and save America in the wake of a tragedy. A tireless FBI agent convinced from the start of a conspiracy in the government, Wells is the Jack Bauer of "Designated Survivor," but with less "enhanced interrogation." Wells is a tireless FBI agent and investigator, but there's more to it: she's serious about protecting America from treasonous jerks. The sudden First Lady is a successful lawyer on her own, and just as principles as her husband. Despite being pulled into the political world against her will, like Tom, Alex is all moral compass, all the time. She's always ready to do the right thing for the country. An independent cabinet appointee with no political aspirations, Kirkman suddenly finds himself president. Principled, compassionate, terrified of the implications of the job but obviously capable, Kirkman is every American ideal rolled up into one guy -- and he'll do anything for his country. He makes everyone who spends any time a better American just with his influence. Of course, that means self-proclaimed "patriots" try to assassinate him.

One of India's foremost activists and bestselling writer of novels, short stories and plays. Mahasweta Devi was born into a middle-class Bengali family in in the city of Dacca (now Dhaka) in East Bengal (now Bangladesh). Her father was a poet and a novelist and her mother was a social worker and a writer. Her family moved to West Bengal where Devi finished her elementary education at Medinipur Missionary Girls� School in . She attended middle school at the Santiniketan School, founded by Rabindranath Tagore which became Visva-Bharati University in 21, from through . After finishing high school at Beltala Girls� School in Calcutta in , she attended Asutosh College of Calcutta University (�), and then returned to Santiniketan to earn a B.A. (with high honors) from Visva-Bharati University in . She then briefly taught at a girls' and did private tutoring before taking a job with Indian government in . Although she never joined the party, she was accused of being a communist and lost her job the following year. Devi turned to writing light fiction forSachitra Bharat, a Bengali weekly, under the pen name Sumitra Devi. She published her first book, Jhansir Rani (The Queen of Jhansi) , a fictionalized biography written in Bengali in . Her first novel, Nati, was written in and quickly followed by four more novels in next two years all chronicling the social realities of Indian lives.

Alongside her creative writing exposing the brutal oppression of tribal peoples and others among the most downtrodden in the Indian society, Devi is equally well known for her activism. Beginning in the s, Devi intervened directly by bombarding the government with complaint letters; publishing a profusion of articles documenting abuses against tribal communities; and helping them lodge grievances, set aside tribal rivalries, and achieve their own development. She is the recipient of the Jnanpath, India's highest literary award, and a Magsaysay award, considered to be the Asian equivalent of the Nobel Prize.

So I'll give you two. I really like this bridge. I wonder who owns it, and if they'd be willing to sell it? The Brooklyn Bridge is a pretty cool landmark. Considering the job that brought me out here involves taking hundreds of high quality pictures with a digital camera every day, it seems like my photography skills should be better. Here's a few shots of the view from the bridge. You can hear the music, can't you? Duh-da-da-duh. Duh-da-da-duh. Duh-da-da-duh. Duh-di-da-duh. "Everywhere around the world.....they're comin' to America!" I actually rode the subway to the Brooklyn side of the bridge so I could try the pizza at Grimaldi's, which came highly recommended by Kristina, then walk back over the bridge. When I got there, it was obvious that Grimaldi's was at least very popular; I had to wait outside for about 45 minutes before I got in. Fortunately, just like at the Apollo, two guys got in line behind me who ended up being fun to talk to. But the conversation really picked up when they started talking about a party they were at the night before, and one of them mentioned the bouncers were bigger than the wrestler Zeus, co-star of the "hit" movie No Holds Barred, which came out just after I started watching the WWF. I don't know which was more impressive: the fact that he knew who Zeus was, or the fact that he brought him up in a conversation in 2008. This led us on to talk about American Gladiators, including the new incarnation of the show. We tried to name all of the original Gladiators. I don't think we got them all, but we did recall this immortal moment from all-time Gladiator great Malibu. Good times. Postscript: the pizza was pretty good, especially the pepperoni, but there were some mitigating factors. For one, I generally prefer regular pizza to brick-oven style, as Grimaldi's is. Also, I don't know that it was worth waiting that long for, and it wasn't particularly fun eating by myself (especially since they don't sell individual slices like most pizza joints, and I had to buy a small pizza. I'll refrain from saying whether or not I needed a to-go box or not). But I'd probably go again if I had friends with me. I'm glad you went to Grimaldi's. And walking back over the Brooklyn bridge became a tradition of Kurt and me last summer. I love the Brooklyn Bridge! I was sad to see it destroyed in Cloverfield. Oh well. PS--there's a great ice cream place on the pier just across the street from Grimaldi's. It's pretty good stuff. I actually got some of said ice cream after my pizza...I omitted this detail because I didn't want everyone to know I ate an entire pizza, then got ice cream too. If gospel rules against gluttony were as well defined as those against gambling/chastity/etc., I could be in trouble. After I got my ice cream and was walking back past the line of people waiting to get into Grimaldi's, two cute girls near the back of the line stared hungrily at my two scoops of chocolate, and one of them mouthed the words "That looks so--%$#&ing--good." I offered her a bite, but she declined. Her loss. But the thing is, since the crust on Grimaldi's pizza is so thin, and then don't over-do the cheese, their pizzas are way less filling than the average pizza. So you should feel no shame in eating an entire one. Besides, you burned off all those calories walking across the Brooklyn bridge! ..have you seen Cloverfield yet? Wow, Lori, it's like you're blogging through me! Cut it out. One Gladiators addendum: former host Mike Adamle has just been hired as an announcer for WWE! I guess he figured, "if Hulk Hogan can take my old job, I can interview the guys that took his old job." Go Mike! I came across your blog in a search for Apollo amateur night. I've never had Grimaldi's pizza, but have also heard good things....and I live in Brooklyn! You should try D'Faras though. Incredible, from the taste, to watching it being made. Thanks for the tip, Joshua. I'm always excited to try new pizza places. And if you haven't been to Amateur Night, I recommend checking that out (or even auditioning) too.

Convict tradesmen were much sought after by settlers, and in 1829 James Webber was fortunate to have assigned to him a stonemason and plasterer named Dennis Long. Dennis probably played a key role in building Tocal's 1830 stone barn which has survived to the present day. Below: an early photo of Tocal's stone barn, built in 1830 using convict labour. Dennis Long was from the city of Cork in Ireland where at the age of 23 he has convicted of stealing a coat and transported to NSW for seven years. He was assigned to Webber on arrival in 1829 but by 1832 was working in a road gang where he received 50 lashes for absconding. Long became free when his sentence expired in 1835 but he had several further brushes with the law for theft, serving various gaol terms and 12 months in an iron gang in 1842. The sandstone for Tocal's 1830 barn was quarried locally, and two quarries from this period are visible at Tocal today. In the quarries convicts used jumper bars to drill holes in the sandstone, into which they put gunpowder to blow the stone apart. They also used wedges to crack the sandstone into blocks. Below: Tocal's 1820s stone quarry.

The Omni-Block combines a swivel and pulley into one tool, and incorporates a unique sideplate that opens while the pulley is still attached to the anchor. Traditionally, a pulley is connected to a swivel by a carabiner. However, the Omni eliminates the need for the carabiner, reducing length and pieces of equipment in the rigging system. The short length of the Omni is important when used in high-angle, confined space or other space-sensitive rigging environments. The reduced weight of the Omni will make hauling your gear easier. Additionally the Omni sideplate can be opened without detaching from the carabiner. Traditional pulleys require removing from the carabiner to change the rope. With the Omni, the user is able to do this while the pulley is still secured. Allows rope change without detachment from carabiner The integrated swivel top allows the pulley to orient as needed in response to the load. Pulley body is machined from a solid block of aluminum for strength optimization and weight reduction. Shortens the length of rigging by combining the pulley and swivel in one device.
