Rioting has spread to brum, and their appears to have been a shooting in Leicester.
Correction: Leeds not leicester.

Two articles I found regarding not the riots so much as the underlying tensions behind them (note that there are two articles linked there)
...here's a sad truth, expressed by a Londoner when asked by a television reporter: Is rioting the correct way to express your discontent?
"Yes," said the young man. "You wouldn't be talking to me now if we didn't riot, would you?"
The TV reporter from Britain's ITV had no response. So the young man pressed his advantage. "Two months ago we marched to Scotland Yard, more than 2,000 of us, all blacks, and it was peaceful and calm and you know what? Not a word in the press. Last night a bit of rioting and looting and look around you."
Eavesdropping from among the onlookers, I looked around. A dozen TV crews and newspaper reporters interviewing the young men everywhere.

Ok well that logic usually starts to fall apart pretty quickly.
If black males between 14 and 30 are at an elevated risk of violent crime, who are they at risk from? And WHY are they at risk?
Statistically young people (but especially males) from all backgrounds are at an elevated risk of crime. Are all young people criminals who bring it on themselves.
I am not going to pretend that much of the violence against young black men in London, is undertaken by other young black men. The statistics are fairly clear on this.
While you rack that up to thuggery, there is more to it than that.
While over all crime experienced by londoners is relatively flat across ethnicity with only mixed race individuals experiencing a significantly higher rates of crime, fear of crime in the black communities have a disproportionately raised fear of crime flat across ethnicity with only mixed race individuals experiencing a significantly higher rates of crime, fear of crime in the black communities have a disproportionately raised fear of crime
Along side this we have a situation where the MET is struggling with institutional racism, both real and perceived. Elevated fear of crime, and an unwillingness to turn to the police is recipe for weapon carrying.
Young disenfranchised men, turn to crime, as a way to reduce the presure of stress caused by social evaluative stress. And other young disenfranchised people make easy targets.
Elevated fear of crime, and an unwillingness to turn to the police is also a recipe for gang formation, as insecure, disenfranchised and frightened young men, form coteries for protection from each other, and from the perceived and genuine hostility of the police. Not all gangs are criminal enterprises, especially not initially.
Violence carried out by petty criminals and gang members drives those not members of gangs to join of form them.
However, beef between gangs, caused by the human tribalism generates violence, which rarely stops with members, but spreads to relations and wider friendship cicles, which in turn drives more people into gangs for protection.
The violence and weapon carrying within by gang members helps to criminalise them. After all, in for a penny, in for a pound.

Thank you for those. I'd caught the '"Yes," said the young man. "You wouldn't be talking to me now if we didn't riot, would you?"' quote already via twitter, but its interesting to see the full article.

Fear of crime?
Not likely brother.
You join a gang because it instantly gives you:
1: Power.
2: Celebrity status.
'Fear' hardly enters into the equasion. You don't join for all teh convenient lefty bleeding heart reasons of disenfranchisement and lack of Police presence, you join up because you instantly get a rep as being semi-dangerous and more powerful. It instantly gives you a mystique amongst peers, and strangely enough the girls look at you like you are the big man now.
Its the same sense of thrill and danger that people find intoxicating and cause people to drive fast, play with guns etc. hat rise you get in adrenaline on the edge of danger.
Quite a lot of gangs form up informally, its a bunch of guys usually from school or the like who form a bit of a core, and then collectively they get to know more people that then begin hanging around and it grows organically. Some gangs then harden up and begin formally gathering members, but most just drift along, changing fluidly over time.
Police attitudes are usually pretty poor, but whey wouldn't they be when Friday night presents the perfect time to go start trouble, and then when Police arrive you know FULL WELL you can just give them the finger or thwor something at them and there's basically nothing they can do about it, their hand are tied.... not like the old days when you'd be getting a sound thumping.
In fact it's easier starting a hassle with Police than other groups because not only WONT you get stabbed or shot, you get the added laugh of giving an up yours to authority - another exhilarating activity.
Simply put, you are now the King of the world.
Give all that up for a job at a supermarket? HARDLY!
And whats the barrier for entry into such a fun life of girls guns and thrills?
Nothing, no qualifications required and all you have to do is hang around and look tough, you don't even need to be able to fight as at least a few of your friends will be up for the real blood and guts violence and you can just hang with the numbers to add threat and cow people into not complaining.
And if you get to set fire to something and know you wont get in trouble, well how good is that eh?
Eventually, getting away with crime after crme after crime, you realise you can do more crime and get paid for it. Whats the worst thats going to happen? a short stint behind bars amongst your friends? Will only add to your already growing and weighty cred.
Any time you get nicked you can cry and say how you only did it because you are poor and disadvantaged, and then tell the youth services idiot you only carried a knife because you were scared.
One of my friends got charged for carrying a knife, he said it was because he got bashed and now had a (pair of) butterfly knives for protection. What he FAILED to tell the court was that he got bashed when he decided that he didn't like these two well dressed 'posh' guys one night and him and his friend decided to jump them and give them a beating for it. Sadly these pair of 'posh guys' creamed my friend and his accomplice, and beat them silly.
So he started tooling up so that next time he wouldn't lose.
THERE is the true mentality brother.
The first step to getting the sorry situation fixed is actually look at the REAL mentality and causes. Very little to do with teh Police and a horrible oppressive society.
If fear of violence gave one cause to join a gang then I'd just add that it is more usually fear of DOMESTIC violence, rather than an external third party.

I listen to The Clash, a lot....
Poverty is relative.... I could take a "gangsta" who lives in "The Block" in Redfern (notorious suburb in Sydney) or "The Valley" (Although that place has gentrified a lot) in Brisbane to a remote community in the Northern Territory and they would be screaming within the hour to get back to the city.
There have been "riots" in remote communities but they are far less about poverty (the level of which is shocking for a 1st world country) and more about Tribal and clan competition for power within the community exacerbated by alcohol and kava.

(raises hand)
Or the 'Bra housing estates, Kings Cross in the heyday, or the Brewarrina reservations... (oh and I don't recommend Dubbo). Old Redfern and Waterloo (And Wooloomooloo) was pretty bad once upon a time, but that was back when.
I have had the good fortune in later life to travel to a lot of countries and see a lot of 'interesting' places, from the downtrodden areas of the UK (England/Scotland/Wales/Nth Ireland) through the Pacific and South East Asia, and through the US and South America.
The skin colour and clothes change, but I can still spot 'my own kind; pretty quick, and it's always the same old same old.
Domestic Violence tends to be a significant catalyst to gang culture, as is drug and alcohol dependencies in parents. Ditto with single parent families where there is a high risk of exposure to violence etc.
Once the authority of the parents is exposed as a sham, the kids begin to buck authority in general, which is why sticking it up the Police becomes a passtime.

Oh, and the best line came on NPR's News of the World today. Some BBC wag was reading comments posted to their Facebook page, and a dude from Africa nailed the problem with their whole commentary on these riots so succintly. I'm paraphrasing here, but what he said was basically:
"When poor people are taking to the streets and rioting in Africa and the Middle East because they want jobs and opportunities, [the BBC] cheers them on and supports their cause, but when people do it in London, then its just an embarrassment, because the West doesn't want to admit that it has the same problems."
He's got a point there.

Ram the riot act through parliament, read it, and since the met seems incapable of doing its job call in the army to arrest anyone who doesn't disperse. Looting a corner store and setting flats on fire is not a legitimate form of political protest.

The Guardian interviewed teenagers at the end of July...who called a rise in violence and potential riots in July due to government and police activities.
If you trap an animal, it will injure itself lashing against its restraints. If you trap a community, it will react the same way.

You are right. we should all have personal forcefields.
A lot harder to be a victim of knife and gun crime when there are very very few knives and guns around... which means less of a reason to have a knife or gun of your own.
Similarly, if they don't have a knife or a gun they don't walk around trying to stand over other people.
Frankly though, if one scummy person really feels like stabbing another scummy person in the head because they both thought playing 'Gangsta' was cool then thats just fine by me, however the same lairy Muppets go around darkening the day of decent people, and that's not on.
So we go back to carrying Swords and Muskets and Knives like the Gangstas of 1700's london: Stab a few doxies in an alley way and carve out theyse internal organs, rumble a tourist off the boat from the americas and make off with his purse of coin, or just flog some of that Opium out of a back street tea shop to bored idiots with more coin than brains?

Hi, I'm Sally Smothers. As you can see, poor zombies are starving in this thread. Nothing to eat anywhere in sight. Won't you help? Please, donate a brain today.
Ok. I'll respond.
Because you are entirely avoident, not commenting on any links or information about the riots themselves but rather leaning back in your armchair to comment on those awful thugs.
Because you're privileged, not understanding what disenfranchised means. You seem to think there's jobs just out there for the taking that anyone can scoop up with their fingers. YOu don't get what kind of roadblocks having bad health, having no income, having one parent, having no education, can put up.
Because you are disenfranchising them too with your desire for a great cuilling - for f&++'s sake listen to yourself! You're all but asking every poor minority be rounded up and shot because they'll turn into gangsters! You don't understand that the criminal justice system is not there to rehabilitate criminals or reduce their numbers but to grow, or worse, you do realize this and support it anyways.
Because you don't comprehend what it's like to have a police force that does not see you as a citizen. You don't get why someone would carry a gun rather then go to a police officer because you don't get that the police aren't there to protect everyone, that some citizens are seen as crims by default and must prove their "citizenship" by being pulled over, by being searched, by being sent to court for even the slightest infractions, by being cast by what they wear - because it's cheap and that's all they can afford - or by their skin color.
Because you don't understand that gangs are about protection because there is no other protection. You don't understand that the guy who carried the gun did so because his brother was stabbed by someone who likely was malnourished and had no education, because their school is a pile of trash. You don't understand that gangs are all that's left when you tear down every youth center in the "poor neighborhood" because they cost just too darn much money.
Because you don't grasp where "bein' a gangster" comes from, and why they act like tough guys. Let me help you - it's because the rest of society declared that the poor minorites aren't fit to be anything else. They act tough because otherwise they're treated like garbage, and it's the only way they can get respect, and hell, the police are going to pull them over and search them anyways, looking for any little excuse to throw them behind bars, so why not?
Because you don't seem to get that having at least one family member in prison destroys that family. AT LEAST one, probably far more! And how that limits your money, your education, your health, your everything.
Because you don't understand what it means to not have a voice. To march two thousand strong and be ignored. To have your brother killed in cold blood and not be cared about. To have all of society view you as a nebulous "other" that doesn't count.
THAT. That is why I have troubles believing you had the little orphan Annie hard knock life you claim to have had, and you aren't anything but another middle class white collar Tory who throws around words like "multiculturalism" elsewhere.
And even if I'm wrong, that doesn't change the fact that you are factually wrong in just about everything you have said. You are wrong when you claim that "only criminals own guns." You are wrong when you claim that they can just "get a job," because that's real easy even without the awful economy when you're a poor black kid with no education, and I bet it's even easier now. You're wrong when you say it's alllll just the fault of dem poors. You're wrong when you say it's just about personal responsibility and nothing else.
And you're the wrongest person in the entire f$%!ing planet when you think all it takes is for dem poors to just pull themselves up by the bootstraps, as if all of society wasn't doing everything it could to push them down as far as they can go.
This blog puts it very well
I thought the UK had socialized medicine? What is up with "bad health"?
Because you are entirely avoident
Mothman Aug 8, 2011, 08:37 pm

Silver Spruce Reports Continued Significant REE Results Pope's Hill MP Trend, Trans Labrador Highway, NL
- REE bearing zone on PH - MP trend defined over an approximate 2.8 km strike length -- open
- Values to 25.4% TREE+Y, averaging 9% from outcrop / subcrop samples in the T1/T2 area
- 1 km from the Trans Labrador Highway; up to 70 m wide, averages 20 m to 30 m wide
- Parallel zone - T3 system -- values up to 6.4%, < 300 m from the Trans Labrador Highway
August 30, 2011 - Bridgewater, NS - Silver Spruce Resources Inc. (TSXV: SSE) is pleased to announce continued significant results from prospecting on the road accessible Pope's Hill (PH) rare earth element (REE) property, along the paved Trans Labrador Highway (TLH) approximately 100 km to the west of Happy Valley-Goose Bay in south central Labrador. Results were previously released on July 21 and August 9, 2011. A total of 153 samples have been submitted for analyses from the 100% owned PH property including 17 from regional exploration. Results are reported for the 136 samples along the MP trend on the original PH property. The regional results remain pending.
Most samples from the MP trend were taken from the moderately to highly radioactive, massive veins with some from the adjacent host rock. Total rare earth element plus yttrium (TREE) results range from 0.03% to 25.4%. In the T1 / T2 area, over an approximate 600 m strike length, 28 outcrop/subcrop grab samples gave an average of 8.6% TREE including 6 host rock samples with values < 1% (0.1 to 0.9%) (see map on website). Heavy rare earth (HREE) percentages ranged from 2.7% to 47.6%, averaging 12.7%, with 16 > 10% HREE. The average values of the rare earth elements and yttrium in this zone are as follows: 16,652 ppm (1.67%) La, 36,417 ppm (3.64%) Ce, 4,135 ppm (0.41%) Pr, 15,351 ppm (1.54%) Nd, 2,552 ppm (0.26%) Sm, 62 ppm Eu, 1,977 ppm (0.2%) Gd, 287 ppm Tb, 1,512 ppm (0.15%) Dy, 261 ppm Ho, 633 ppm Er, 74 ppm Tm, 379 ppm Yb, 49 ppm Lu, and 5,716 ppm (0.57%) Y. It should be noted that since these are grab samples they are not representative of the overall values in the zone.
The 136 samples from the MP trend give HREE percentages ranging from 1.1% to 47.6%, averaging 8.4%, including 45 values > 10% HREE. The average values of the rare earth elements and yttrium are as follows: 10,083 ppm (1.00%) La, 21,364 ppm (2.14%) Ce, 2,570 ppm (0.26%) Pr, 8,425 ppm (0.84%) Nd, 1,422 ppm (0.14%) Sm, 44 ppm Eu, 1,019 ppm (0.10%) Gd, 149 ppm Tb, 750 ppm (0.075%) Dy, 130 ppm Ho, 314 ppm Er, 37 ppm Tm, 191 ppm Yb, 25 ppm Lu and 2,775 ppm (0.28%) Y. Thirty (30) samples gave P2O5 values > 2% with a high of 11.6% and preliminary studies have shown that REE mineralization, with higher HREE content, is present in apatite (calcium phosphate) and apatite content should be reflected by P2O5 values. Thorium values for the radioactive, higher grade, REE samples, are generally in the 0.2% to 0.4% range.
Prospecting, using scintillometers to locate radioactive mineralization, along the PH -- MP trend has traced laterally continuous, rare earth element (REE) mineralization in subcrop/outcrop over an approximate 2.8 km strike length and the zone remains open to the east. The zone extends along trend from north of the the MP showing in the pit on the TLH, through the T1 and T2 showings located 800 m and 1,100 m, to the east, to the T5 and T6 showings located 2,000 m and 2,200 m to the east near the brook where a boulder running 24% TREE was found in 2010 (news release dated October 28, 2010). Outcrops with massive, vein type mineralization are located along the MP trend in all the northern "T" showings with other areas of mineralization noted between the showings but not fully exposed. The mineralized unit, a syenite to monzonite, which is not well exposed, is up to 70 m wide, averaging 20-30 metres wide, and carries green pyroxene phenocrysts up to 5 cm long. It remains open along strike. The host rock unit and the REE bearing veins appear to be generally conformable with the lithology (the strike of the rock units). The massive, high grade veins, up to 30 cm wide, which typically run 10-25% TREE, are characterized by pinch and swell structures with two parallel veins, separated by 5 m to 6 m of host rock noted in the T1, T 2, T5 and T6 exposures and other massive veins exposed in hand dug pits in the same areas, thought to be part of the same system, but up to 30 m across strike indicating the mineralized unit is likely much wider than now exposed.
The exposures will be exposed by trenching and then channel sampled to determine the grades and widths of the occurrences. This work should begin in the next few weeks. This will be followed by a diamond drilling program to test the mineralized zone at depth.
Regional exploration consisting of stream sediment geochemical sampling with limited prospecting should be completed this week, with a total of 550 samples taken to date at 300 m intervals on streams draining the prospective areas to the north and west of the Churchill River over the 100% owned properties. A number of radioactive zones have been noted in the prospecting surveys with rock samples taken from these areas. All results for the regional stream and rock sampling surveys remain pending.
Follow up of prospects located in the regional exploration will be carried out once results have been received to allow trenching and possible drilling of targets in the late fall and early winter.
All samples are transported to the Activation Labs preparation facility in Goose Bay by SSE personnel, then shipped to their laboratory in Ancaster, ON. for analysis using their 8 REE package. Uranium analyses are carried out using ICP MS, with higher values re-run using a DNC technique. The laboratory uses internal standards to check their analyses and blanks are included in each sample batch.
Plan maps of the properties, showing the sample results to date, the airborne Th radiometric and magnetic data plus pictures showing the area, the showings and some of the higher grade samples, are shown on the Silver Spruce website at silverspruceresources.com.

Luxurious homes and private villas are becoming an attractive alternative for travelers looking for more than just a typical chain hotel. Property managers help owners by renting out and maintaining their properties.
Completing thorough research before signing a contract helps owners avoid aligning themselves with an unreliable company. Check with your local chamber of commerce and industry associations like the Vacation Rentals Managers Association for reputable companies in your market area. Perhaps most importantly, meet with the staff of several potential companies to get an idea of how they operate.
Of course, it's good also to get a feel for how potential management companies may treat your guests. What kinds of amenities will they provide to enhance your guests' vacation experience? Look them up on travel review sites and read what guests have said about their experiences, but be mindful about looking for trends in the reviews rather than isolated instances; don't make a decision based on just one negative comment.
Owners should also compare the commission rates property managers charge in your market area and find out what services are included in their fee structure. If the rates are on the higher end, see if they are covering things like landscaping that might otherwise be an additional charge for you.
However, rates that are too low are not always ideal; the company may be making up for them with higher fees elsewhere, so be sure you know all the costs.
Once you decide on a management company, it is important to make sure you get everything in writing. Because contract formats vary with each company, make sure your manager discloses as much information as possible.
Consulting an attorney can help ensure you understand everything going into the contract, which should include a detailed list of what your expenses are and what is included in the fees being quoted. Your contract should also define what the company covers repairs to avoid any surprise charges to you.

Q: C++ what's the process when declaring a user-defined class object using = assignment to initialize? I defined a class named String, and I declare a String object using = assignment to initialize it, but I have some questions about the process behind it. Let's see the code:
class String{
public:
    String() :str(""){ cout << "default constructor" << endl; }
    String(int n);
    String(const char *p);

    String(const String &x) :str(x.str)
    {
        cout << "copy constructor" << endl;
    }
    String& operator=(const String &x)
    {
        str = x.str;
        cout << "operator =" << endl;
        return *this;
    }
    string getStr() const
    {
        return str;
    }
private:
    string str;
};

ostream& operator<<(ostream &o,const String &x)
{
    o << x.getStr();
    return o;
}

String::String(int n)
{
    stringstream ss;
    ss << n;
    ss >> str;
    ss.clear();
    ss.str("");
    cout << "String(int n)" << endl;
}

String::String(const char *p)
{
    str = *p;
}

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    String s6;
    s6 = 10;
    cout << s6 << endl;
    return 0;
}

the result is shown below:

well, this is understandable, first call the default constructor, then call String::String(int n) constructor, at last call copy assignment.
Then I modify the main function like this:
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    String s6=10;
    cout << s6 << endl;
    return 0;
}

the result is shown below:

I can't understand why it doesn't call copy assignment, what's the process behind it in this case?

A: You're confusing assignment and initialization.
String s6=10; is not assignment, but initialization; more precisely, copy intialization.

1) when a named variable (automatic, static, or thread-local) of a non-reference type T is declared with the initializer consisting of an equals sign followed by an expression.

So s6 is intialized/constructed by the appropriate constructor, i.e. String::String(int), no assignment here.

A: This is not an assignment, this is copy initialization.

T object = other;   (1)
...
If T is a class type, and the cv-unqualified version of the type of other is not T or derived from T, or if T is non-class type, but the type of other is a class type, user-defined conversion sequences that can convert from the type of other to T (or to a type derived from T if T is a class type and a conversion function is available) are examined and the best one is selected through overload resolution. The result of the conversion, which is a prvalue temporary (until C++17) prvalue expression (since C++17) if a converting constructor was used, is then used to direct-initialize the object.

In your situation T object = other transforms to T object(T(other)) (direct initialization). But

The last step is usually optimized out and the result of the conversion is constructed directly in the memory allocated for the target object, but the appropriate constructor (move or copy) is required to be accessible even though it's not used. (until C++17)

The last words selected explain why copy constructor was not called during direct initialization.

Several colleagues and I recently wrapped up a 5 month long React Native project. The client had come to thoughtbot with an idea, and went through our product design sprint process to come up with an MVP that we would start designing and developing.
One constraint the team faced was a hard 8 week deadline, due to an external event that could not be rescheduled. Additionally, part of the point of an MVP is to figure out if there is a strong market for your product. With these constraints in mind, the thoughtbot developers strategically chose to take on technical debt while building the MVP in the interest of getting something out the door.
To everyone's delight the initial launch of the product showed promise, and so our client chose to continue our relationship and work on the next version of the application. Given that we were now building an application with some longevity, the developers chose to look towards maintainability of the application before working on new features. We spoke with the client who agreed to two weeks of refactoring and bug squashing.
Based on the good experience two of the developers had in a past TypeScript + React Native codebase and the many well known benefits of statically typed code, the team decided to retrofit the codebase with a static type checker.
We chose to move forward with Flow because it proved much easier (than TypeScript) to introduce to a project mid-life. Sadly, TypeScript is a much more fully featured language that we would have preferred using.
Modeling the data at the state/reducer level laid the groundwork for typing our React components.
The types at the Redux action/reducer/state level are quite simple, generally product types that can be modeled via Flow's object types. For developers on our team that were new to static typing, starting with simple types was more manageable than, for instance, the type of the connect function in react-redux.
We started by modifying the application code as little as possible, i.e. adding types that reflected the current codebase, rather than both modifying the code and adding types simultaneously. This made reviewing the pull requests much less scary, and allowed us to notice and document 'weird' types as something to revisit.
As we added types to the components, we uncovered possible states & code paths we were not taking care of. The team knew these existed, since we consciously ignored some states because they were unlikely or affected a small amount of the userbase. Adding the types revealed edge cases and possible sources of bugs that we were able to add to our backlog or squash as they popped up.
Adding types to code we'd written automatically gave us time to review the codebase and reevaluate some architectural decisions we'd made. This allowed us time to document pain points and open up discussion on how to improve the code.
Third party type definitions. We used flow-typed for type annotations for some of our dependencies. Since these annotations are decoupled from the actual implementation of the libraries, there are occasional warts and inconsistencies that we had to deal with. For example, the team had to be diligent about ensuring the versions matched between our dependencies and the type definitions of those dependencies.
Increased toolchain complexity. We had to configure our continuous integration environment to type check as part of its steps. We had to ensure everyone's editors were configured to deal with flow type annotations properly. The team consisted of emacs/vim users, but most of us temporarily switched to Visual Studio Code for its seamless flow integration.
The team considered this experiment a success, and put in a similar scenario we would again advocate for types-after-the-fact as an effective tool for refactoring, establishing long term maintainability, bug catching, and ensuring correctness of application code.

Volusia school district asks middle school parents if they want before-school childcare
By Cassidy Alexander, calexander@news-jrnl.com
Apr 9, 2019 at 10:59 AM Apr 9, 2019 at 10:59 AM
The Volusia County school district is asking parents of middle school students if they would use before-school care for their children next year, when school schedule changes mean Volusia's 12 middle schools will start at 9:30 a.m.
The short survey went live Tuesday morning.
Less than two weeks ago, the Volusia School Board approved new schedules that pushed back the start of the middle and high school day and lengthened the elementary day. The new schedules will go into effect in August.
To help make it happen, district officials want to know what parents will do with their preteens who are too young to be left home alone before middle school, but too old for the type of supervision that elementary students receive before and after school.
[READ MORE: Against teachers wishes, Volusia School Board picks new school schedules to start in August]
The survey seeks to gauge interest in a before-school child care option, the Extended Day Enrichment Program.
It first asks parents to indicate which middle school their child attends. Taylor Middle-High School, which serves grades six through 12, and Holly Hill School, grades K through eight, are not on the list.
"We are working to determine their times," district spokeswoman Kelly Schulz said when asked if they would be following high school and elementary school schedules, respectively.
Then, the survey asks a yes or no question.
"If the district offered a fee-based morning Extended Day Enrichment Program at the middle school level, would you utilize the services for your student(s)?"
Currently, extended day programs are offered at 40 of Volusia's elementary schools. Before-school care for one child is $15 a week, and $10 for each additional child.

The school district is also considering the possibility of offering athletics and club meetings before school and trying to answer other questions like how to shuffle bell schedules during the day and how to use an extra 30 minutes for the elementary school day.
The survey is available until Monday at 5 p.m. and is also available in Spanish.

Coca-Cola just became a retailer with the acquisition of another company.
Coca-Cola is stepping into retail territory by buying a company that will give them a global coffee platform with a footprint in more than 30 Countries and potential for future growth.
The company announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to acquire Costa Limited, which was founded in London in 1971 and has grown to become a major coffee brand across the world. The acquisition of Costa from parent company Whitbread PLC is valued at $5.1 billion and will give Coca-Cola a strong coffee platform across parts of Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, with the opportunity for additional expansion. Costa operations include nearly 4,000 retail outlets with highly trained baristas, a coffee vending operation, for-home coffee formats and Costa's roastery.
For Coca-Cola, this expected acquisition adds a scalable coffee platform with critical know-how and expertise in a fast-growing, on-trend category. Costa ranks as a leading coffee company in the United Kingdom and has a growing footprint in China, among other markets. The company has a solid presence with Costa Express, which offers barista-quality coffee in a variety of on-the-go locations, including gas stations, movie theaters and travel hubs.
The Coca-Cola Company will acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Costa Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Whitbread. This subsidiary contains all of the existing operating businesses of Costa. Whitbread will be seeking shareholder approval for the transaction, which is expected to take place by mid-October. The deal is subject to customary closing conditions, including antitrust approvals in the European Union and China. It is expected to close in the first half of 2019.
Coca-Cola expects the transaction to be slightly accretive in the first full year, not taking into account any impact from purchase accounting.

Montreal Canadiens Look to Start New Chapter In The Offseason
May 4, 2022 by Last Word On Hockey Leave a Comment
It's not a bold statement to say the Montreal Canadiens have had a terrible year. After a surprising run to the Stanley Cup Final last year, the Habs had some expectations entering the 2021-22 season. While most thought they would be competing for a playoff spot, nobody was expecting them to completely bottom out and finish the year in last place while looking so awful in the process. This season definitely feels like the end of an era. The Montreal Canadiens offseason will have several big changes as they look to start a new chapter.
Montreal Canadiens Offseason Will Be A "Turn The Page" Moment
The Downfall Comes Quicker Than Expected
Sometimes winning can set a team back. The Habs were sputtering down the stretch of the 2020-21 season. They only made the playoffs because of the COVID alignment that was imposed. With the team's struggles, it seemed change was coming to Montreal. Especially when they fell behind 3-1 to the Toronto Maple Leafs in the first round. Then, they decided to go on a magical run where they won their next seven games and go 11-2 to win the Western Conference. The miracle run was ended, rather decisively, by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Stanley Cup Final. The postseason success gave the (at the time) interim coach Dominique Ducharme and general manager Marc Bergevin a new lease on life. Ducharme was rewarded with a three-year contract and a sense of optimism heading into the season.
The Wheels Fall Off
The realities of a hard playoff run were made painfully real to the Habs as their two leaders, Shea Weber and Carey Price, were unavailable for most of the season. The Habs struggled out of the gate, going 6-16-2 through November. These struggles led owner Geoff Molson to fire Bergevin and assistant GM Trevor Timmins on November 28. Jeff Gorton was hired as the Vice President of Hockey Operations and led the search for a new GM.
The team did not fare much better after Bergevin's dismissal. While losing is never enjoyable, it was the manner in which the team was losing. Consistently getting outplayed and dominated. They looked lost on the ice and behind the bench. There were no bright spots at this point. The team was difficult to watch. To put in some perspective, through the first 45 games, the team had three separate losing streaks of at least five games, while they had not won back-to-back games at all.
Shaking Things Up
During this time, the Habs hired a new GM, the former player agent Kent Hughes in January. Despite suggesting they would not make any decisions on the coach until the off-season, the poor play continued and Ducharme was dismissed in February. The Habs hired Martin St. Louis as an interim coach to see out the season. Then St. Louis, Gorton, and Hughes would then assess the situation about St. Louis' future in the off-season.
The hires of Hughes and St. Louis were very outside the box for an NHL team. While Gorton has a lot of experience Hughes and St. Louis are new to their positions. It's a risk for sure, but the Habs could not continue in the same cycle they had been on. Along with the new hires, Gorton has committed to modernizing the organization from the front office to the dressing room. It was a breath of fresh air after the conservative approach from past management teams.
Results Were Kind Of Respectable
The team on the ice responded to the shakeup quite well. While the results were still lacking, the team was infinitely more engaged and competitive. The players seemed to have more motivation and confidence in games. The biggest example is Habs rookie Cole Caufield. There were a lot of expectations for Caufield after his strong playoff performance last year. Unfortunately, under Ducharme Caufield struggled mightily. Through the 30 games Caufield played under Ducharme, he scored one goal and had seven points. After St. Louis took over behind the bench, Caufield found his game. He scored 22 goals and 16 assists in the final 37 games of the season.
Montreal Canadiens Off-Season Will Be Tricky
There is a lot to figure out during the Montreal Canadiens offseason. One thing is for sure, there are going to be some changes. The team is clearly looking to rebuild. That means many veterans are likely to be moved. It started during the season when Tyler Toffoli, Artturi Lehkonen, and Ben Chiarot were traded near or at the deadline. Still, there are some very difficult decisions to be made on some key long-term players.
One of the biggest issues facing Hughes and Gorton is the Habs salary cap situation. Their struggles this year have been compounded by the fact they have several aging veterans on big long-term contracts. It makes the rebuild that much more difficult, especially when a lot of the aging veterans have been the faces of the team for the last few years. It will be interesting to see which players they might be able to move on from to free up some cap space and roster spots for younger players.
The Canadiens captain did not play at all this year. Shea Weber was placed on LTIR before the season began. It seems for all intents and purposes, Weber's career is likely over and the Habs are using some salary cap gymnastics to take his cap hit off the books, for now. The issue for the Canadiens is that Weber's contract still has four more years and a cap hit of around $7.8M. Now if he officially retires, it's actually bad news for the Nashville Predators. With the cap recapture penalty, Nashville would be on the hook for $6.1M in dead cap space for the next four years.
While the Habs could leave Weber on LTIR and, assuming he does not return, the team will need to assign a new captain. Although, the league investigated the circumstances surrounding the Habs putting Weber on LTIR so who knows if naming a new captain would prompt a new investigation into cap circumvention. To avoid any questions about naming a captain while the current one is still, technically, on the team, the Habs could look to move his contract and turn the page completely.
Price had a difficult year. He, like Weber, started the year away from the team. Price had knee surgery in July and was expected to be back with the team in October. Prior to his return, however, Price announced he was taking a leave of absence from the team and entering the league's player assistance program, he later announced he was entering a residential recovery center for substance abuse.
Despite several setbacks Price made his season debut on April 15th against the New York Islanders. All said Price played in five games down the stretch for the Canadiens. In the Habs end of the year press conference, Price elaborated on his knee issues and what his next steps are. This is where the uncertainty about Price comes in. Nobody will question his commitment to the team but there are some harsh realities the team has to look at.
Price has five more years at a $10.5M cap hit. Price will be 35 when the next season begins so the question has to be asked whether an older goalie, with an injury history and a bloated cap hit, has a place on a rebuilding team. He has been the Habs best player for over a decade and has carried the team to exceed expectations in most years. He has given everything to the team. Still, at Price's age, he would certainly relish the opportunity to compete for another Stanley Cup, something the Habs don't seem poised to do any time soon.
Brendan Gallagher
Brendan Gallagher has been a fan favourite since he made the team in 2012. As a smaller forward, Gallagher worked hard for all the success he achieved in the NHL. Gallagher was never shy to mix it up or go to the high traffic areas, he was a player you loved to have but opponents hated. He played hard, never took a shift off, and never shied away from the dirty work. He did it all with a big smile on his face. His high-effort style would have been enough to make him a fan favourite, but he also became a pretty good goal scorer, netting 30 goals twice.
Still, the concern many had about Gallagher was how long could his body hold up playing the way he did. Well, the wear and tear of his style and injuries seem to have caught up with Gallagher. In his last two seasons, he has put up the worst production of his career. While he continued to make a nuisance of himself to the opposition, he seemed to be labouring more on the ice than he had before. The effort is there but it seems the body can't keep up with his will.
Compounding his decline in production, Gallagher signed a six-year extension that carries a $6.5M cap hit. The contract raised eyebrows right away. Gallagher seemed to be slowing down when the contract was signed and has been struggling ever since. It's a big cap number for a player that seems to be in the twilight of his career at the age of 29 (he will turn 30 in May). With his declining play and a big salary, Gallagher might be the most difficult player to move. Still, if they can find a taker Hughes and Gorton would probably jump at the opportunity.
Jeff Petry
Nobody struggles caught the attention of more fans and media this year than Jeff Petry. Petry, like the entire team, struggled mightily this year. And unfortunately for Petry, it seemed most of his mistakes ended up in the back of the Habs net. The constant criticism led to Petry requesting a trade from the team.
Like most of the team, Petry seemed to find his game and confidence under Martin St. Louis. This led to Petry walking back his trade request somewhat at the Habs' end-of-year press conference. Still, he is signed through the 2024-25 season at a $6.25M cap hit. Petry has played well for the Habs until this year. It was odd to see his play decline so sharply from last year. It could just have been an off-year for an older player (34) after a gruelling playoff run and short off-season. Still, with the Habs looking to get younger, Petry might be one of the prime candidates to be moved.
Other Names to Watch
Beyond these players, the Habs have several other players they could look to move. Newcomers like Mike Hoffman and David Savard would be high on the list of players to be moved if possible. Other Hab veterans that could be moved are Joel Armia, Jonathan Drouin and Paul Byron.
Change is Comming
With the season over, now all the attention for the Habs is on the draft. The Habs have secured a top-three pick by virtue of finishing in last place. Along with that pick, the Habs hold another first-round pick and hold a total of 10 picks in the first four rounds. They also hold two first-round picks in next year's draft. Needless to say, the next two drafts will play a key part in the long-term success of the rebuild.
The Habs can't trade all these players in one offseason, but they can move on from a few of them. They need to. They need to create much-needed salary-cap space and acquire future assets to help in the re-build process. With all the sweeping changes to the management and coaching staff, the roster is the next. It will be difficult to say goodbye to some of these players it is necessary for the future success of the team. While it will be hard to close the book on some old heroes, the Montreal Canadiens offseason will hopefully be the start of a new chapter of success.

Unifying the entire state, as the Thunder has done from the first tipoff in 2008, might have been enough to evoke gratitude from every Oklahoman, but this is an organization that defies the odds as a matter of course, going beyond – way beyond – expectations.
Through its Thunder Cares Foundation, the Thunder has connected to the community with a number of outreach projects that support nonprofit groups, Oklahoma schools and other organizations. Over four years, the Thunder has made more than 900 community appearances to promote literacy, fitness and nutrition, youth basketball camps and many examples of volunteerism.
Thunder center Kendrick Perkins points to the team's frequent interaction with children as an essential part of the organization's outreach. "We get to go to Boys and Girls Clubs. We get to go to different high schools and different elementary schools. Each and every one of us were one of those kids and they all have a dream just like we had a dream," Perkins says.
Thunder guard James Harden agrees that interaction with fans is just as rewarding from a player's perspective as it is for the fans. "Every time I do an appearance and go see kids – or just people – and make them smile and impact their lives, for that time that I'm there, that's all I can do. And that's what makes me smile," Harden says.
While the NBA encourages player involvement within the community as part of its global outreach initiative, NBA Cares, the Thunder regularly exceeds the recommended level of hands-on service and appearances to support the initiative. During the 2011-12 season, the Thunder finished second among 30 NBA teams in player community appearances.
"The involvement in these programs and events has brought some great moments," explains Thunder Vice President of Corporate Communications and Community Relations, Dan Mahoney.
This month, despite the frenetic pace of season openers, televised games and unforgiving travel schedules, the Thunder will take time to celebrate Thanksgiving by serving a holiday meal for a local charity. Last year, in a partnership with Cox Communications, the Thunder served more than 1,000 Thanksgiving dinners at the City Rescue Mission. The same partnership has resulted in holiday shopping sprees with Target and holiday donations for families in need.
"We've tried to establish some traditions of giving back," says Mahoney, predicting that the Thunder will observe many of those traditions again this season, while adding in a few new ones as well.
Mahoney notes that the Thunder Cares Foundation does not solicit public donations, but fans often contribute through their participation in various fundraisers, such as purchasing signed items that are auctioned at home games, with proceeds directed to specific causes.

Kosin – dawna gromada, czyli najmniejsza jednostka podziału terytorialnego Polskiej Rzeczypospolitej Ludowej w latach 1954–1972.

Gromady, z gromadzkimi radami narodowymi (GRN) jako organami władzy najniższego stopnia na wsi, funkcjonowały od reformy reorganizującej administrację wiejską przeprowadzonej jesienią 1954 roku do momentu ich zniesienia z dniem 1 stycznia 1973 roku, tym samym wypierając organizację gminną w latach 1954–1972.

Gromadę Kosin z siedzibą GRN w Kosinie utworzono – jako jedną z 8759 gromad na obszarze Polski – w powiecie kraśnickim w woj. lubelskim na mocy uchwały nr 10 WRN w Lublinie z dnia 5 października 1954 r. W skład jednostki weszły obszary dotychczasowych gromad Borów, Janiszów, Kosin, Łany, Mniszek, Wymysłów i Zabełcze ze zniesionej gminy Kosin w tymże powiecie, czyli w praktyce cała gmina Kosin. Dla gromady ustalono 27 członków gromadzkiej rady narodowej.

1 stycznia 1960 r. do gromady Kosin włączono wieś Wólka Szczecka i rybołówstwo Zawólcze ze zniesionej gromady Szczecyn w tymże powiecie.

Gromada przetrwała do końca 1972 roku, czyli do kolejnej reformy gminnej.

Nobody left the toilet unflushed last night.
Nobody left that empty milk carton in the fridge this morning.
Nobody used all of the bread.
Yeah. I did all of those things.
And there's not one thing any of you can do about it. Because none of you have the slightest idea who I am.
Not one teacher could remember my name at school, or place me at parent teacher meetings for that matter. Speaking of parents, they often forgot to lay a place for me at the table, or acknowledge my birthday.
Waiting staff serve everyone around and behind me in coffee shops and bars.
When I speed, I don't get pulled over. And when I find myself at a police checkpoint, I just drive on through as if the cops don't even see me.
Hell, I haven't paid for groceries in years, just walk on out the door with my cart full.
I'm the next best thing to invisible, even have to push my way through automatic doors.
Does it get me down?
Better to be a nobody than a somebody.
Somebodies get noticed, get promoted, get awarded, get pay raises, get fast cars, get expensive wives, get big houses, get enemies, get prices put on their head.
By people who need a nobody like me.
The kind of nobody even an infrared camera can't see, that two Doberman pinschers can't smell, that can stroll into a master bedroom and squeeze the life out of somebody's neck without somebody's said trophy wife batting a well maintained eyelid.
So next time you get that feeling, as you leave your home or walk down that badly lit street, think twice when somebody tries to reassure you with words like these.
And I've been put on this earth to do all of those things.

Karl Zuchardt (* 10. Februar 1887 in Leipzig; † 12. November 1968 in Dresden) war ein deutscher Schriftsteller und Dramatiker.

Leben

Der Sohn eines Buchhändlers besuchte von 1897 bis 1906 die II. städtische Realschule und die Petrischule seiner Heimatstadt.

"We're Hanging in There": 6 Moms From Around the Country on How the First Month of School Is Going
By Rachel Bowie
| Oct. 5, 2020
Sofia Kraushaar
It was late summer when we first checked in with a group of moms across the country, grappling with the pros and cons of sending their kids back to school with the risks of coronavirus still weighing heavy on their mind. In the eight weeks since, some went virtual, some sent their kids back to school full-time and some are doing a combo. Here, an update about how it's all going so far.
1. The Tennessee Mom Who's Nervous About Flu Season
The Kids: A second grader and a pre-kindergartner
The School Situation: "We sent the kids back to school full-time in person, which was our original plan."
The Pros: "We are surprised at how good the kids are doing with their masks. We thought that was going to be a struggle, but it's become the new accessory to wear, so we'll take it."
The Cons: "Some of the high schools near us shut down because of spikes, which doesn't impact us directly, but still feels scary."
What's Keeping Her Up at Night: "Flu season is coming. I just worry that we are in for a rough winter."
What's She's Learned About Herself: "I'm still learning to be more flexible and trying to digest that I can't control everything. I've also learned that kids are really tough and can roll with the punches. I honestly think they have better coping skills and know how to enjoy the day with a simple hike outside or a bike ride, which makes me proud."
2. The Massachusetts Mom Who Had to Pull Her Kids Out to Get COVID Tests
The Kids: A first-grader and a preschooler
The School Situation: "My son started back at his public school doing the hybrid model—in person two days and remote three days. On the remote days, he's doing a 'day camp' at his karate school where they troubleshoot online activities. My daughter was set to go full days, full-time at her private preschool, but with the cost of sending my son to the day camp, we've swapped her to a half-day program and then have our long-standing babysitter coming in the afternoons."
The Pros: "Both kids are thrilled to be back in-person with their peers and teachers. Their attitudes are much improved, they don't seem phased by having to wear masks. Even my three-year-old, who is in a 'mask optional' program, opts to wear it full-time most days. Remote learning is not going as terribly as in the spring because he's doing it from a different location and is able to focus better than being at home with all the 'fun' distractions."
The Cons: "Every cough and sniffle makes my anxiety spike. My son's school had their first COVID case (asymptomatic). Then, my son woke up with nasal congestion and a cough, so we kept him home from the day camp—even with no fever—and got COVID tests. We won't get the results back for two to three days, so it's more of the at-home shuffle. He can still participate in the remote-day activities during this time, but his in-person absences 'count' against the yearly absence. If the test does end up coming back as positive, he'll have to change classes to a full remote model for 10 to 14 days." [Editor Note: Since the interview, the tests came back negative.]
What's Keeping Her Up at Night: "I'm concerned with how the year will fluctuate between remote, hybrid and in-person learning. When there's a case identified at the school, those impacted are required to shift to the remote model for 10 days. They've said it takes at least one day to change around the framework and, if it's the whole school, then it will be counted as a snow day."
What's She's Learned About Herself: "I have a hard time with no real set schedule, but I'm willing to outsource some of the harder parts of this. I'm thankful we can afford to do that with some budget adjustments. I do think it's going to create more of a discrepancy with people who can afford to do it and those who cannot."
3. The Single Mom from L.A. Who Finds Distance Learning Better Than Expected
The Kid: A high school freshman
The School Situation: "In our city, all the schools are shut down due to high COVID numbers."
The Pros: "Surprisingly, my 14-year-old son is doing really well at school, thanks to me getting a tutor to help him with schoolwork. He even got a commendation from his biology teacher! And it seems like he is turning in most of his homework, although I could be better about checking Google Classroom to make sure he is. All in all, I'm pleased with how the school year is going so far. He's more successful and less antagonistic than I had anticipated."
The Cons: "I got in the bad habit of racing to get him fast food for lunch over the summer and now he's refusing to eat anything except that every weekday. It's too expensive, plus a time suck because I need that lunch hour to run other errands or work to meet deadlines. So that's a boundary I will need to draw."
What's Keeping Her Up at Night: "I'm worried that he's not going to get enough exercise as it starts to get a little bit rainy and cold. Also, that maybe he's not getting the education/socialization he should be—and won't anytime soon."
What's She's Learned About Herself: "I've learned that, to my chagrin, the more I show up for my son's education, the more he will. So, I guess in a way so far, the COVID home learning has been a gift because it's shown me what works with my son's development. Or at least that's how I am trying to make a silk purse, I guess."
4. The Pennsylvania Mom Who's Stressed About Staying Organized
The Kids: A high school junior, a sixth grader and a third grader
The School Situation: "Our school board decided to go all-virtual until October 5. From then on, we'll be doing a hybrid model where students go in-person two days a week. They also very helpfully made sure all my kids were scheduled on the same two days, which was really nice (but also more COVID-safe)."
The Pros: "I think the wins for me are the attitudes my children have had about online learning. A telling anecdote: I scheduled a brief beach weekend for the first week of school since it was the only time we could fit it in. I told my kids they could skip school on Friday since it was supposed to be a sunny day and we could spend it at the beach. All three kids thought about it, then declined. They explained that they really felt like they wanted to be in school that day, so they attended. I had taken the day off and wished I had spent more time with my feet in the sand, but I was insanely proud of them."
The Cons: "I'm worried about helping my kids with the organization of their school materials. I feel at the end of my rope keeping my own stuff aloft during this time, but now I have both physical and virtual things to help oversee with them, and it's just a lot. I'm trying to be Zen and only focus on the big stuff, but it's hard."
What's Keeping Her Up at Night: "Making sure that my kids aren't letting balls drop. The executive functioning required to keep all the things straight is tough for adults, let alone children."
What's She's Learned About Herself: "While I'm a pretty liberal 'live and let live' kind of person, it really helps everyone to have clear expectations and a clear plan, even if it is a compromise plan. We spend far too much time fighting about petty things and not getting things done in this country and that's often because we are selfish rather than thinking more collectively.
5. The NYC Mom Who's a Self-Described Wreck
The Kids: A Pre-K student and a Kindergartener
The School Situation: "After the mayor pushed the start date two times, we are finally back. My four year-old is in full-time, in-person Pre-K. My five year-old is in a hybrid model where he goes to school one of out of every three days (different each week!) and is remote the others. We've teamed up with a family in his class and trade off taking both boys for a few hours on remote days."
The Pros: "I'm so grateful my daughter can attend full-time in person. She absolutely loves it, and it gives my husband and me the time to figure out our son's bonkers situation. I'm also impressed with how happy my son is when doing school activities at home. (I'm the one who's a wreck!)"
The Cons: "The daily schedule is a nightmare to figure out. My son's Zoom meetings are at the same time as my daughter's drop-off/pick-up which means neither parent can be working at that time. There are also so many online assignments to keep track of. It's impossible to stay on top of my own work and do them all. I can't imagine how families with fewer resources or flexibility are managing."
What's Keeping Her Up at Night: "After many months of really low transmission rates, New York has seen troubling case spikes in recent days. I'm terrified they're going to shutter all the schools, just as families get back into the swing of things."
What She's Learned About Herself: "I do not do well with uncertainty. I need a plan, even if it's a crappy plan."
[Editor Note: Since this story originally published, her son's school went fully remote, due to a nearby cluster of cases.]
6. The Ohio Mom Who Is Feeling Good About the New Normal…For Now
The Kids: A kindergartner and a preschooler
The School Situation: "We had the option of fully remote or fully in-person. After a lot of back and forth, we decided to send both kids back in person."
The Pros: "Our kindergartner has done amazingly well with the transition. That's surprising since he had embraced the homebody life. They've also both done better than expected with masks. And, since parents aren't allowed in the building, teachers have done a wonderful job with sending pictures and updates."
The Cons: "When our preschooler's nose started running. It set me on an anxiety-provoked downward spiral. It'll be a long fall/winter!"
What's Keeping Her Up at Night: "We've accepted a higher level of risk of exposure by sending the kids to school. We aren't seeing my parents as often, but putting them at risk keeps me up."
What's She's Learned About Herself: "I've learned that life feels less overwhelming when I focus on one challenge at a time and take it day by day. I've also learned that melatonin gummies help me sleep!"

A true account of going through UCLA's famed Daniel Freeman Paramedic Program—and practicing emergency medicine on the streets of Los Angeles. Nine months of tying tourniquets and pushing new medications, of IVs, chest compressions, and defibrillator shocks—that was Kevin Grange's initiation into emergency medicine when, at age thirty-six, he enrolled in the "Harvard of paramedic schools": UCLA's Daniel Freeman Paramedic Program, long considered one of the best and most intense paramedic training programs in the world. Few jobs can match the stress, trauma, and drama that a paramedic calls a typical day at the office, and few educational settings can match the pressure and competitiveness of paramedic school. Blending months of classroom instruction with ER rotations and a grueling field internship with the Los Angeles Fire Department, UCLA's paramedic program is like a mix of boot camp and med school. It would turn out to be the hardest thing Grange had ever done—but also the most transformational and inspiring. An in-depth look at the trials and tragedies that paramedic students experience daily, Lights and Sirens is ultimately about the best part of humanity—people working together to help save a human life.
A cardiac technician takes you to the front lines of emergency medicine—from tragic car accidents to gunshot wounds—in this "fast-moving" memoir (Booklist). This book takes the reader to the front lines of medicine, from a serious automobile accident on a dark country road to a woman in cardiac arrest to a young man with near‐fatal gunshot wounds. For these patients and countless others, treatment cannot wait until they are wheeled into a distant emergency room. If lives are to be salvaged, care must begin with the life‐saving skills of Emergency Medical Technicians. "I could never work on a rescue squad," is a statement the author has heard over and over throughout her years of squad service and readily admits it once described her own feelings. "If I can do it, so can you," is her response to those whose fear and self‐doubt hold them back. "Anything is possible." EMT: Beyond the Lights and Sirens is more than a personal account of Pat Ivey's rescue squad experiences. It is a story of courage and hope and letting go of past losses. It is a book for anyone who has ever struggled to go beyond who they are. Step aboard the ambulance. Witness the tender moments amidst tragedy. Experience the joy and the anguish, and share the tears and laughter of volunteer rescue squad personnel who respond around the clock to the cries of others. In this heartwarming and compelling book, Pat Ivey takes the reader beyond the lights and sirens on a journey they will never forget.
Chloe "Donny" Donavon is a Firefighter/Paramedic who discovers an attraction to, Caitlin "Caity," a dispatcher. She has known Caity for a few years but never thought of her as anything other than a friend and fellow member of the fire department. Their relationship goes against everything Donny has believed about keeping romantic entanglements away from the workplace, especially since she works with and supervises Caity's younger sister, Pauli. Kristi, who is Donny's mentor, supervisor, and friend at the station is behind Donny's sudden promotion - but that promotion could change her own career as well. Kristy is dealing with things from her past that she can no longer repress. How will that affect her relationships with her protege and crew? What happens when the strongest of the strong finds out that she can't remain an island forever? Lights and Sirens shows a crew of well meaning men and women who come together to battle fire, fight illness, injury, and death for others. Can they hold it together for one of their own?
A New York Police Officer's relentless journey into the criminal netherworld, told with brutal truth and honesty. Perhaps Neitzsche described Rob Cea's life best, way before he was born: "Take care when chasing the animals; for you can very well become the animal you are chasing." No Lights, No Sirens is a sojourn so dirty and nasty it defies belief. Rob Cea starts off as an idealistic young cop, a true believer in the system for which he works tirelessly. He is sadly mistaken. The system he tried so hard to appease ultimately led to his downfall and the ruination of his life. What separates this from other cop—and—robber stories is the brutal authenticity from the cop himself. We will see and hear exactly what is discussed in a patrol car. We will see how the law was—and is—routinely bent to make collars stick any way possible. And we will see how Cea slowly spirals to depths of hell. No Lights, No Sirens is simplistic in its scope: A young idealistic boy becomes a man through fire, and then becomes exactly what he has been chasing for so long, a hardened man possessed by demons. With rapid fire and gritty narrative, Cea writes about his fall to the depths, and his salvation. We see the dark side of detective work in New York's most crime—riddled neighborhoods from a first-hand view never before seen.

May 23 (Time Magazine)—There are some who stand tall and stand out no matter where they are from—whether a large, densely populated country or a small island nation.
Prime Minister Mia Mottley of Barbados is one such person. Bold, fearless, and possessing a great intellect and wit, the Prime Minister is a brilliant politician who knows how to shake things up.
Since she was a young woman growing up in the Caribbean, Mia Mottley has always cared deeply about critical issues impacting the world.
From poverty to debt to climate change, she is a vocal advocate on the world stage for responsible stewardship of our planet, so that nations large and small and people rich and poor can survive and thrive together.
At COP26 in Glasgow late last year, she chided the world's leaders for not working more diligently to limit the potential catastrophic impacts of climate change, telling them to try harder.
While chair of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund's Development Committee, she reminded the world's finance gurus that the level of a country's per capita income may not always be the best measure of its wealth.
After all: one climate-change-induced hurricane can take a significant toll on that wealth. Mia Mottley is an icon in her country, having won re-election by a landslide.
The Prime Minister strides boldly on the world stage. She is an embodiment of our conscience, reminding us all to treat our planet, and therefore one another, with love, dignity, and care.

Do not upgrade you firmware to v3.94, as a previous fixed bug is back in this firmware. The bug is the power saving time bar that appears after the screen saver, this really does save power however the bar should move from top to middle to bottom of the screen every few seconds, this is to prevent the bar from burning out on the screen. In v3.94 the bar does not move, as a result it burns out the image on the screen, which is visible on darker backgrounds/images etc. If you do not understand the implications of this, basically it's damaging the LCD screen!!! Nokia have announced that once a new firmware is issued any damaged screens through this burnout issue will be replaced under warranty. I simply went to get a firmware upgrade on my phone as my Bluetooth connection kept timing out with my PC, this firmware fixed that issue however in the process it damaged my screen!
