Another spectacular day on Mosquito Lagoon in Titusville, FL. Perfect weather with temps in the 70"s and not a breath of wind. We also experienced a simultaneous sunrise and full moon set.
We have collected data on 22 fish thus far. A surprising number of class 5 and 6 fish which are very difficult to catch..
Here is a chart that illustrates the data and Length x girth formula trend line.
We are observing a slightly different formula denominator for each of the 6 fish classifications.
Additional fish for a larger sample size should reduce the variance.
The combined data for actual weight compared to the weight calculated using the formula (Girth2 x Length)/759 is within 1%.
Best fish today was a 42.75" x 24.75" 33.0 Lb. monster. My fourth largest Redfish to date.
This entry was posted in Florida, Locations, News & Current Events, Red Fish, Species and tagged Billy Rotne, florida, Mosquito Lagoon, Operation Code Red, Tom Olivo.
My namon is Damon. I fish for bull Reds quite often normally at Haulover Canal. Recently I became a member of a tagging program out of Louisiana. " Tag Louisiana". I couldn't guess how many trophy size Reds I've caught ranging from 31-50″. I tag them, measure length but not girth, record GPS, date&time and conditions when released. If you can I'd like some more info on how I could be more helpful to your studies. Thanks, have a great day & good luck.

After 3 Weeks and a Flood of Details, Va. School Shooting Grows More Unthinkable
Atlanta Public Schools' turnaround efforts have received a $2.1 million boost from the Walton Family Foundation.
The gift, announced by the foundation Thursday, will be used to create a data dashboard for parents, hire a research institution to evaluate progress in improving Atlanta's consistently low-performing schools, and support turnaround efforts at two high-needs elementary schools.
The database, called APS Insights, will enable parents to see school options across the district and track their children's academic progress, attendance, and behavior starting this summer. The grant will provide $550,000 toward the dashboard.
The two elementary schools, Thomasville Heights and Gideons, are among five in the district that are being taken over by charter schools. Each will receive $325,000 in startup money to improve student learning. Just over 10 percent of the third-graders at the two schools read at or above grade level.
About $900,000 will go toward three years of research to track how the district's turnaround efforts are progressing. That work is being taken on by Mathematica Policy Research and will begin this spring. "It's very important to the district to have the evaluation," said Mathematica senior researcher Kristin Hallgren. "What we learn helps inform the research field and helps them refine and adjust any parts of the strategy that they need to think about differently."
Hallgren, who has studied national turnaround efforts including the U.S. Department of Education's Race to the Top and School Improvement Grants, called Atlanta's efforts "very comprehensive."
"Superintendent [Meria] Carstarphen and her team have blended the best of both the public charter and district school sectors into a strategy that puts serving children at its center," Marc Sternberg, K-12 education director at the foundation, said in an emailed statement. "The Turnaround Strategy embraces what we believe is a central path to improved school performance: autonomous and empowered educators with the authority to make decisions that matter most in the success of a school."
The foundation is a longtime supporter of education in Atlanta, having given nearly $9.2 million since 1999 to help parents access high-quality schools in the city.
"APS is grateful to the Walton Family Foundation for its continued support of our students and educators," Carstarphen said in a press release. She was hired in 2014 to turn the district around after the former superintendent and 34 other Atlanta educators were indicted in a cheating scandal.
Last November, voters rejected a ballot measure that would have allowed for a state takeover of the city's schools through an Opportunity School District. Currently, the legislature is crafting House Bill 338, which would create a chief turnaround officer appointed by the governor, tasked with saving failing schools across the state.

Small businesses get sales in offbeat ways
By Joyce M. Rosenberg;
NEW YORK – In the battle to win shoppers' dollars, small companies are finding creative ways to be where the sales are.
Such businesses don't often have the advertising and marketing budgets that larger companies do. That can put them at a disadvantage when they're trying to compete against bigger brands. And fighting for the limited space available on store shelves can be tough and costly.
So innovative owners are finding a way around these challenges by placing their products where their target customers go and by using nontraditional sales techniques.
"There is a lot of competition and it's difficult to break through the clutter and the noise," says Ted Hurlbut, a retail consultant who works with small companies. "You need to be creative."
A look at what some small businesses are doing:
• Company:
GSC Products, Scotia, N.Y.
• Product:
Sinus Plumber, nasal spray containing pepper and horseradish.
• Offbeat sales channel:
Hardware and automotive stores and garden centers. Owner Wayne Perry sells the nasal spray in nearly 1,000 stores that stock it near the cashier, where many customers find products that are called impulse buys. He would have to pay more to get his products in the most visible spots on the cold and allergy remedy shelves in drug and health food store chains.
• How did that happen?
Hardware store owners were reading about Sinus Plumber in news stories and contacted Perry. GSC began shipping to them.
"They were outselling all of the health food stores we were in. A couple of cases a month, really unheard of for a single store," Perry says.
It turns out that those retailers are a logical place to sell nasal spray. People who use paint and chemicals and stir up dust trigger allergies and irritate their sinuses, Perry says.
• Nothing to sneeze at:
Of GSC's $350,000 in revenue last year, $90,000 came from hardware and automotive stores. They sell 40 percent more Sinus Plumber than traditional stores.
SOFA AUDITIONS
Simplicity Sofas, High Point, N.C.
• Products:
Furniture including sofas and chairs.
Customers' homes. Simplicity's furniture is sold only over the Internet. Some customers want to see and try out the sofas and chairs. So owner Jeff Frank contacts people who have already bought his furniture and asks them if they'll let a prospective customer take a look. Most people say yes. In return, Frank sends them a $50 check.
• Where did they get the idea?
From customers. Several called Frank and volunteered. He decided to ask others.
• Seeing is buying:
About 10 percent of prospective customers ask to see the furniture, and 10 percent of Simplicity's sales come from in-person encounters. The strategy spurs word-of-mouth buzz.
Jim Hamren, who recently tried out a Simplicity sofa in a customer's home, says it was a little strange to shop in someone's house. But after seeing the sofa and sitting on it, he and his wife decided to buy one. They say they'll volunteer to let customers view their new furniture.

Buffalo man acquitted in Elmwood Avenue robbery
A Buffalo man accused of robbing a man last year outside a bank in the Elmwood Village was acquitted Wednesday by an Erie County Court jury that deliberated for more than eight hours over two days.
James Thomas, 45, was found not guilty of first-degree robbery in the June 13, 2013 holdup outside the former First Niagara Bank at Elmwood and Potomac avenues.
Defense attorney Paul G. Dell said the victim was accosted by a man in a rain slicker during a downpour. They grappled for a few minutes, the attorney said, and the robber, armed with a knife, took his cash, then ran to a car and drove away.
The victim ended up with the knife, which he held for five or 10 minutes before he left it with an attorney he knew who had an office across the street, Dell said. The knife was turned over to police.
DNA on the knife was later matched to Thomas, who was arrested on the robbery charge Nov. 12, 2013, but the victim's DNA was not found on the weapon, because the rain prevented it from affixing to the handle or washed it off, according to Dell.
The defense attorney argued that the rain also prevented the actual robber's DNA from getting on the knife and that Thomas' DNA could have been deposited on it years before and could have dried onto the porous, wooden handle, preventing the rain from removing it.
Dell said police stopped his client a few days after the robbery in the getaway car. Police then showed the victim a photo array that included Thomas, he said, but the victim failed to pick him as the robber.
The defense attorney said the robber was described as an Hispanic male who was 5 feet, 10 inches tall, very thin and about 30 years old; his client is a white male who is 5 feet, 7 inches tall and not thin. He was 43 at the time of the holdup.
Thomas did not testify during the trial before Judge Sheila A. DiTullio.
He had been held in lieu of $150,000 bail but was released after his acquittal.

When Nicole and I go antiquing, we search for cool old stuff, but, sometimes, objects find us. Regular readers of my (Tyler's) blog might have gathered that I'm particularly interested in, among many other things, historical clothing and buttons. There's something fascinating about these little artifacts and all the things they can tell us about clothing and the people who wore it. Years ago, at the Mansfield, Ohio, Civil War Collectors show, I came upon a small case of eighteenth-century cloth-covered buttons for sale. They had been found, so the attached note said, washed up on a beach in New England after a shipwreck. The price was a little high for me, though, and by the time I made up my mind to go back for them later in the day, some other savvy collector had snapped them up. And so I wrote them off, adding them to the "should have bought that" list that I suspect every collector secretly maintains.
Cloth-covered buttons with dime for scale. The middle buttons in the top and bottom rows are flipped to show how the fabric is secured on the reverse around the wood cores.
I thought over these buttons. They were great examples of the sort used on men's and some women's clothing in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. You can read a bit about the button "moulds" of forms here and see some in action on a pair of breeches here. I'll confess, I snuck away for a moment and cheated. I did an internet search using Nicole's phone to make sure that there weren't a dozen other such button sets floating around on eBay. There weren't, luckily. So I had to buy them. After all, how often does a second chance like that come around?
The challenge now was to figure out how much of the story was true. I had talked with the dealer, who told me that she bought them from another dealer who had bought a whole bag from descendants of the Toppan family of Hampton, New Hampshire. Of the two bags of buttons Christopher Toppan supposedly recovered, one had been water damaged but the other intact. And, so the story went, a bag of cloth-covered buttons from the wreck descended in the family right up until recently, when the dealer broke them up into little sets for resale. That, at least, explained how I had come across two different groups of buttons with the same unusual provenance and justified my skepticism about just how many sets there might be.
I initially despaired of finding much online about the shipwreck. There isn't as much digitized source material online for 1725 compared to, say, 1865, because newspapers and other printed material became more common over time. Moreover, there were hundreds of shipwrecks on the coasts of early America, many of which received little or no printed attention. But when I focused on Christopher Toppan's name and on Hampton, I got a few hits. Gradually, I started to piece together the story.
As it turns out, the wreck of interest happened not in 1725 but in 1764. That year, Captain Mallard had a string of bad luck. Based on New England newspaper accounts, he sailed from London on the St. George in May, but a few days out of port the ship sprung a leak and put into Portsmouth, England, for repairs. From here, things get hazy.
What's so important about the actual name of the ship to the story of my buttons? Isn't it enough to know they're from a shipwreck? Initially, I thought that's all I'd get. And if I hadn't checked some other sources and instead concluded the wreck was that of the Essex, I might not have uncovered a more interesting story. When I started looking into Christopher Toppan, however, I was able to make the connection with the 1764 wreck of the St. George, mentioned by Hampton writers including Peter Evans Randall and James W. Tucker.
Christopher Toppan, ca. 1790s, from here.
So, it seems, the St. George's cargo was valuable enough, and its dispersal controversial enough, that it did in fact spur something like a riot in Hampton in the early days of 1765, only a few short months before Bostonians and other colonists took to the streets to protest the Stamp Act.
More recently, a few other probable relics of the St. George have surfaced. In 1962, two young divers raised a cannon, mill stones, and other artifacts from the purported wreck site, and in 1992 another diver found an old anchor believed to be from the ship. To the best of my knowledge, no archaeological work or extended research has been conducted on the wreck site or the St. George's history.
Skip Hird and David Conrad with the possible St. George cannon, 1962. From here.
The possible St. George anchor, early 1990s. From here.
So, are my buttons in fact a relic of the St. George? According to their provenance, they descended in the Toppan family, and Christopher Toppan could certainly have saved them from the wreck's cargo. The buttons are definitely original and date to the eighteenth or early nineteenth century. The variety of their sizes and colors, their unused condition, and the fact that there are other groups of comparable buttons out there from the family's original group all suggest that these were buttons meant to be sold. If they were on the St. George, they were part of a merchant's shipment. They were not simply, for example, saved by the Toppan family from a worn-out garment for reuse and later attached to the wreck story.
I still have some lingering doubts about the buttons' connection to the St. George. They are covered in coarse linens, and it seems unlikely that such buttons would be imported and sold when they were so easy to make. Why would a tailor or seamstress have bought a button when it was so easy to make one in minutes using fabric that matched or coordinated with a garment (like on this coat)? Moreover, of all the things Christopher Toppan and his descendants could have saved and remembered, why a bunch of cheap buttons?
I'll probably never know the answers to these questions. But for now, I'm still a believer. I like the story and, anyway, the evidence is inconclusive for either side of the argument. I like thinking that these little buttons are part of a bigger story. And I like that they found me.
Dear Tyler and Nicole, I am a direct descendant of the Toppan family (Christopher Toppan mentioned here is my 3X great grandfather) and I hold a package of the buttons. Your research is true by all accounts based on our family story. We hold the original packaging of the buttons. We have a deep embedded history in our family, and we would hold on to these items because of the story involved. I would be curious to know what relative sold their bag of buttons, as many others have held on to them. I am the author of a book entitled Toppan's History: The Early Settlers, where Edmund Toppan, my 3x great uncle, collected and wrote stories of the early settlers of Hampton.
Hi, Lori - Thank you very much for your comments! Tyler and I would love to see a photo of the "original packing" you mentioned. Either way, we're glad you enjoyed the post!

Ann Combs
Ann Combs - Local Interest, Memoirs, Children's Books
Ann Combs' versatility as a writer is reflected in the variety of her writings. In her children's book How Old is Old (1987) Combs gently explains the concept of old age to young children. In Sunrise to Sunrise: Vincent Gowen's Memoirs (2008), Combs and her co-author Geoffrey Gowen chronicle the life of their father Vincent Gowen. Gowen was the revered Bainbridge educator, author and vicar of St. Barnabas Church, and a Bainbridge Island legend. However, Ann Combs is best known for the humorous accounts of her own life. In Smith College Never Taught Me How to Salute (1981) Combs tells of her life as a military wife, and in We'll Laugh about This... Someday (1983) she describes raising her large and boisterous family. Locally Combs is revered for her book Helter Shelter (1979) which was republished under the title Once Upon a Two By Four in 2012. The hilarious story of fixing up a large dilapidated house on Bainbridge Island is, as one reader puts it, "a funny warm-hearted book that makes high comedy of domestic travail and takes family togetherness from the heights of a leaky roof to the depths of a faulty septic system." Along the way, Combs does not fail to highlight the idiosyncrasies of some of the residents of our island. A reviewer once referred to Ann Combs' writings as "funny, sometimes sad, and frequently wise". That comment captures the style of this marvelous author perfectly.

"There will be a big sigh of relief from folks all over Kentucky," when the plan is released, predicted Hoover.
FRANKFORT, Ky. — Top legislative leaders gave no details Wednesday as to the contents of their nearly completed pension reform plan, but House Speaker Jeff Hoover said the plan is likely to relieve the concerns of many people.
"There will be a big sigh of relief from folks all over Kentucky," when the plan is released, predicted Hoover, a Jamestown Republican.
Hoover and Senate President Robert Stivers, R-Manchester, spoke to reporters Wednesday following a meeting of the Legislative Research Commission.
They have been holding long, private working sessions with Gov. Matt Bevin for weeks in an effort to craft pension reform legislation to be considered at a special legislative session that Bevin has promised to call this year.
And their comments indicate that, while Bevin can call a special session to begin any date he wants, that session is still many weeks away.
Hoover said significant progress has been made in arriving at a framework for the reform package that two other Republican leaders said on Monday could be revealed as soon as this week.
But Hoover emphasized Wednesday, "We still have some unresolved issues." He said he hoped to be able to release a plan within the next two weeks.
And neither he nor Stivers suggested when they expected the session will begin. "We have plenty of time between now and January of 2018 to do this," Stivers said.
Bevin has said in several interviews within the past week that the plan will call for moving future public employees into new 401(k)-type plans. He also has said it will call for changing the way government pays its contributions to the pension funds — from contributions based on a percentage of the government's payroll to a "level dollar" amount set high enough to assure immediate progress in reducing Kentucky's massive pension debt.
The combined debt of all eight plans in Kentucky retirement systems is officially listed at about $40 billion. Bevin, however, says that number assumes the plans will earn far more on investment returns than is likely, and he puts the debt figure at greater than $64 billion.
House Democratic Leader Rocky Adkins, of Sandy Hook, said the main concern of the minority party is that any plan honors the so-called "inviolable contract" – wording in state law that protects benefits of retirees and existing workers hired prior to 2014.
Adkins also said he has serious doubts about moving toward 401(k)-type retirement plans because he said some other states have found that such a move can cost more money than it saves.
Adkins said he and other Democratic leaders got their first briefing on the developing reform plan earlier Wednesday. But he declined to reveal what he learned because he said he agreed with Republican leaders not to discuss it and because he said even Republicans agree the plan remains incomplete.
Adkins said he did not know when the session will be called, but he cautioned Bevin "not to call this special session until he has the votes."
A special session costs Kentucky taxpayers an estimated $65,500 per day. And, to move a bill through the legislative process into law, it takes a minimum of five days.

Addicting but won nothing at all. Keep getting free play but already have pairs of everything. Oh well.
I just won 50 stars after using one of the free game codes in your article. Thank you!!!
How do I get a "No Purchase" play?
How and where do I enter the code?
I've been playing since the game started, but for the past two weeks I've only used the two free daily plays. I have all the pieces, except the rare ones. Last week, I won 125 stars, and I just now won 50 stars tonight. At least it's something. I'll keep trying for a bigger win. Good luck everyone!
Congrats Kim, you're doing better than me lol. I missed the 1st couple of days but I have two pieces in every section and have won nothing I keep getting a lot of repeat pieces. I play free daily and buy twice a week.
I used the codes on different days and they both worked. Maybe you can try again.
Tying to get starbuck for life tips.went under face book and twitter,no luck.
I won the 50 stars one. Nothing big but still pretty good.
Ps you can get extra plays from the purchase related challenges on the same link as the no purchase play. But you can only enter each challenge once that way.
It's addictive but all I've got is all the common pieces and 8 stars, all from the first days I played — has anyone won anything here?
Thank you for the code! I love this game.
Has anyone gotten a code other than this one?
thanks for the code! hard to find!

Scripts that are to be run by PowerChute Network Shutdown need to be written in the Bourne Shell and should start with a line that resembles the line above. Thus the first thing that needs to be verified when a script is not being run properly by PowerChute Network Shutdown is that the script is written for the Bourne Shell. The second thing that needs to be verified is that the Bourne Shell is being called properly in the first line of the script. It is important to keep in mind that if the script is not setup properly, it may run correctly when executed manually at the shell prompt.
Notice here, that the first line of the script specifies that /bin/sh is going to be used to execute the commands in the script. Once this change has been made to the script, it should execute from PowerChute Network Shutdown properly.

What's On: KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities (Cirque du Soleil)
Photo: Martin Girard / shootstudio.ca Costumes: Philippe Guillotel © 2014 Cirque du Soleil
Cirque du Soleil will return to Australia from October this year with its most acclaimed touring show, KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities™. KURIOS will premiere under Cirque du Soleil's Signature Big Top on 2 October 2019 in Sydney before opening in Brisbane from January 10, 2020.
KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities is a tale in which time comes to a complete stop, transporting the audience inside a fantasy world where everything is possible.
In an alternate yet familiar past, in a place where wonders abound for those who trust their imagination, a Seeker discovers that in order to glimpse the marvels that lie just below the surface, we must first learn to close our eyes. In his larger-than-life curio cabinet, the Seeker is convinced that there exists a hidden world – a place where the craziest ideas and the grandest dreams await. A collection of otherworldly characters suddenly steps into his makeshift mechanical world. When the outlandish, benevolent characters turn his world upside down with a touch of poetry and humour, his curios jump to life one by one before his very eyes.
KURIOS is Cirque du Soleil's 35th production since 1984, written and directed by Michel Laprise. The newest big top production to tour Australia arrives with a cast of 47 artists from 17 countries, including world-class gymnasts, acrobats, contortionists, hand-puppeteers, yo-yo wizards, clowns, actors and musicians.
KURIOS will open in Brisbane on Friday, January 10, 2020 at Northshore Hamilton. Tickets start at $80 and are available from 9am Monday, March 18 via Cirque du Soleil's website or by calling 1800 036 685.

The Top 15 Greatest Movie Endings
How To Write A Movie Review
Movie Critics Wanted!
Posted by Charlie | Sep 4, 2022 | Action, Adventure, Comedy, Sci-Fi | 0 |
2022 | rated PG | starring James Marsden, Jim Carrey, Tika Sumpter and Voices of Ben Schwartz, Idris Elba and Colleen O'Shaughnessey | directed by Jim Fowler | 2 hrs, 2 mins |
Few movie surprises have shocked me out of my chair as as much as seeing the running time for Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Over 2 hours. For a Sonic the Hedgehog movie. If there is a breaking point in the expanding running time of movies as they cram in extraneous storylines with extra characters to pad out diversity quotes – this should be it. As much as this movie tries to keep itself at a quick clip there is scene after scene of this movie that drags on way too long and could have ended up on the cutting room floor. I would love to see a Director's Cut of these movies that are actually shorter, trimming out all the fat for a more streamlined experience. Anyway, after decades in development with Sega, a pandemic and a famous character redesign, Sonic the Hedgehog shocked the world by hitting big in 2020, which lead to an immediate sequel with a dump-truck full of money to fuel it. Money that returning director Jim Fowler throws up on the screen with all it's thunder, turning the first film's quaint alien-in-hiding story into a globe-trotting adventure.
After being exiled to the Mushroom Planet, Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey, leaning into his worst-rubber face impulses) finally finds a way back to Earth when he accidently summons Knuckles (voiced by Idris Elba), an ancient alien in search of an all-powerful Emerald. The new partners converge on Sonic the Hedgehog (Ben Schwartz) on Earth whose mentor Longclaw held the secret to the Emerald's location and the group, along with gadgety Sonic fan Tails (voiced by Colleen O'Shaughnessey) race across the world to get the gem.
As with the original film, there is a hint of an endearing quality to the Sonic movies. In that while they are Kid's Movies ™ and they are based on video games, they also feel like real, fully fleshed out movies made by fans of the character – as much of a character as the silent, speedy protagonist there was. That somewhat sturdy foundation is what keeps this movie from completely collapsing, because the script is awful. It's an obnoxious series of random out-of-context pop culture references. Based on the games, Sonic was a blank slate of a character: he could have been a warrior, a Doctor Who humanity savior, any number of things. Instead he's a wise-cracking generic emoji. He is broadly defined with one-liners he seems too young to even get – only to be outmatched by Carrey's endless groan-inducing Robotnik puns. That every character in these movies all sounds the same is why the introduction of Knuckles is so refreshing in this film. A warrior looking for a mission and perfectly voiced by Elba, Knuckles' no-nonsense approach to everything is a welcome change from the puns. Yes, Sonic references The Fast and the Furious, dances in an endless scene to "Uptown Funk" and Jim Carrey makes the inevitable Donald Trump reference.
Bigger is the name of the game here, with the sequel-afforded budget allowing Fowler to realize a massive, bizarre adventure here. The opening scenes are the best, featuring a Robotnik booby trap and Sonic engaging with street-level criminals in Flash-style acts of heroism. The movie wisely dials back the Quicksilver slow-motion action from the first film and in a lot of ways is better. It spends most of it's time with our animated heroes, smartly punting Sonic's human guardians James Marsden and Tika Sumpter out of most of the movie by sending them to a destination wedding. I discussed in my Godzilla vs. Kong article about why these movies insist on inserting human actors and storylines into works that should be animated – this movie blends that pretty well actually, partly because Carrey comes off so much like a cartoon himself.
Is bigger better? In this case it would be, if it didn't also come with Michael Bay levels of indulgence. Both the action scenes and particularly the comic scenes wallow in their own wackiness. Sonic and Tails' pit-stop to a Bavarian tavern – cut it. A lengthy detour into a reveal that the destination wedding of Maddie's (Sumpter) cousin Rachel (Natasha Rothwell) was a hoax and her Bridzilla revenge on fiancé Randall (Shemar Moore) – characters that we just met and have no investment in – cut it, burn it and bury the ashes. It's enough to make any kid in the audience wonder, Who is this woman and where is Sonic?
This movie shows hints of cribbing from all the worst impulses of Marvel films, Michael Bay films, Video Game movies and Kid's films. Between the Blue Light in the Sky, the dance numbers and the lessons about friendship it's practically a bingo card of Hollywood tropes. But it's also so committed to it's weirdness, is ambitious in it's scope and scale and moves at a good clip. It's a light and sound show, you won't laugh, you will cringe but you might be entertained and feel terrible in the morning. It's moments of invention push it up beyond the glut of other live-action-animated Kid's movies. Maybe these things have been so bad for so long, they've conditioned to expect less than the big, brash, splashy Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

Peacemaking Circles help you create space for difficult conversations. Coupled with shared values and an agreement of how to be together, meaningful dialogue & relationships are the benefits achieved from the Circle process. Gwen Chandler Jones was first introduced to Restorative Justice in 1996 by the Criminal Justice system. She had her first Circle training in 1997. After being in Social Services for over 20 years, Gwen decided that 'Circle Work' was what she wanted to do. She has trained and been trained in the Yukon with Dahka T'lingit First Nation Circle trainers Harold Gatensby and Phil Gatensby. She served as the Director and Coordinator of the Frogtown-Summit University Community Circle Initiative for many years. The Science Museum of Minnesota hired her to hold a series of Circles during their groundbreaking exhibit on "Race" in 2007, and she has continued to be invited to hold Circles in the different cities where the Race Exhibit has traveled since. Gwen has also been invited to hold a workshop on Circles at Harvard University, in Jamaica and numerous cities across the USA. Currently Gwen is an Independent Consultant working with Schools, Institutions, Systems but her heart soars when she works with Community. Although Gwen is proficient in all Restorative practices, her specifics are Circles. Gwen is also one of the founders of 'Restoring Circles", Gwen has introduced Circles to over 2000 individuals.


I really admire Peter and how he always speak to Jesus. Sometimes, I wish I was Peter, able to talk to Jesus and tell Him what's really on my mind. In this chapter, I admired Peter's words "because you say so", he has lost his hope and was fairly honest to Jesus, but because he trust Jesus, he still obeyed.
Do not be afraid. The first time this line appeared in the book of Luke, it came from an angel; this time it's from Jesus. When the angel said this to the shepherds, he was bringing the good news, but as Jesus said this to the fishermen, He said that they will be bearers of the good news. These words are indeed so awesome, God is telling me not to be afraid to share the good news and to make disciples.
12 While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean." 13 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" And immediately the leprosy left him.
This event reminds me that Jesus is always willing to clean us, to heal us, to be with us, if only we can be like the man with the leprosy. We must come to Jesus and humble ourselves to Him, and acknowledge Him as our Lord and Savior.
This is the greatest! By faith, our sins our forgiven. And because I believe in what he say so, I know, I can come to Him any time without fear, shame, and guilt, for I know my sins have been forgiven; not for what I did but for what He has done.
If a man would ask me to follow him without me knowing that person, I definitely won't follow, but here Levi followed Him, there was such an authority in Jesus words that anyone who hears it did not doubt but obeyed.
Jesus is so right, a healthy man doesn't need a doctor, and the saved doesn't need a savior, that's why He came to save the unsaved. This reminds me that as a disciple of Christ, I must reach out not those who are found but the lost.
Jesus is the best example of a praying man; if the son of God loves to pray and makes time to talk to His father, what more us God's children? And so I will never stop praying, for even Jesus do so.

Q: Rendering NSView in another context Im looking for a way to have one NSView draw inside another NSView, to make a preview of that view. To be exact Im using VZVirtualMachineView and want to have a preview only in a grid. I would just use VZVirtualMachineView but there is one issue with it - it captures mouse cursor (can hide it) and reacts to clicks and mouse movement over it. And in this case I want to have only the preview with no interaction and no cursor hiding.
So I thought I might try rendering it inside another NSView using vmView.layer?.render(in: context.cgContext), or some other similar mechanism.
The question is how to do this properly? And how to make it refresh with correct time? Should I use something like CADisplayLink? Do I need to add this view first somewhere or can I draw it without adding? Also I would like to not use something like creating image (unless this would be efficient method)
Here is very simple first try, but Im not happy with that code, so
Please suggest some approaches that I should try.
class VMPreview: NSView {

    let vmView: VZVirtualMachineView
    var timer: Timer?

    init(virtualMachine: VZVirtualMachine) {
        self.vmView = .init()
        self.vmView.virtualMachine = virtualMachine
        super.init(frame: .zero)
        addSubview(self.vmView)
        dr()
    }

    func dr() {
        self.setNeedsDisplay(bounds)
        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.1) {
            self.dr()
        }
    }

    required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }

    override var frame: NSRect {
        didSet {
            self.vmView.frame = bounds.offsetBy(dx: 0, dy: bounds.height)
        }
    }

    override func draw(_ dirtyRect: NSRect) {
        guard let context = NSGraphicsContext.current else { return }
        vmView.layer?.render(in: context.cgContext)
        self.setNeedsDisplay(bounds)
    }

}

What a strange day. I've had nothing but back to back calls, and in a few minutes, I'll be jumping in the car and driving to Columbia to see my parents. No writing time for me! Tomorrow my dad and I will be driving to eastern NC for the King family reunion, something I haven't been able to go to since I was a child, while my wife and son say here because of prior commitments.
The drive to eastern NC normally takes about 7 or 8 hours, depending on traffic. Given that Columbia is in the middle, it makes sense to break up the trip by spending the night there and going on to eastern NC in the morning. I'm not sure I'm ready for another long drive but oh well. The audiobook is loaded, and the gas tank is full.
Since there's not much left to talk about today, I figured I'd share my latest LEGO build. It's from the Fantastic Beasts movie. This is the carriage used in Grindelwald's escape. Cool, no?


Fluent Bit source code provides Bitbake recipes to configure, build and package the software for a Yocto based image. Note that specific steps of usage of these recipes in your Yocto environment (Poky) is out of the scope of this documentation.
We distribute two main recipes, one for testing/dev purposes and other with the latest stable release.
Build Fluent Bit from GIT master. This recipe aims to be used for development and testing purposes only.
Build latest stable version of Fluent Bit.
It's strongly recommended to always use the stable release of Fluent Bit recipe and not the one from GIT master for production deployments.
the workaround for this problem is to remove the _FORTIFY_SOURCE from the build system.
Fluent Bit v1.1.0 which is under active development on GIT Master, already integrates native AArch64 support where stack switches for co-routines are done through native ASM calls, on this scenario there is no issues as the one faced with _FORTIFY_SOURCE in previous 1.0.x series.

Kingsclere charitable trust in toddler's memory raises over £40,000 in a year
Jane Meredith
jane.meredith@newburynews.co.uk
A CHARITABLE trust fund set up in memory of Kingsclere toddler Rodney Lawrence, who died in a garden pond accident four years ago, has raised more than £40,000 in a year. Launched in September 2013 by the family of the three-year-old, The Rodney Lawrence Trust aims to help young people achieve their goals, source play equipment for local groups and help children and families faced with life-threatening conditions. Rodney's uncle, Craig Gundry, said the money had been raised through the hard work and determination of friends, family and the general public. He said: "Starting a charity from a penny donation has been challenging and stressful at times, often taking over our lives. There is nothing more rewarding than making a child smile." A further boost came after Marks & Spencer's Newbury branch announced the trust was its chosen charity for 2014. Trustees recently received a £3,000 cheque after M&S, together with LK Hair, Shaw, held a fashion show, with hair treatments by LK Hair, raffle, Champagne and mince pies. Mr Gundry revealed the M&S (Newbury) charity for 2015 would be the Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance. Mr Gundry, whose own fundraisers have included making Straw Tots, said: "The air ambulance was first to arrive on that tragic day when my nephew Rodney drowned." Funding provided by the trust includes a seizure alarm mattress for a girl affected by meningitis, a girl's educational trip to Uganda, and wish granting for children with illness and disabilities. It has also paid the travel costs for Kingsclere dance group Feel the Beat to attend a dance challenge in Kent, where they won five awards; purchased new computers for Warren pre-school in Bishops Green, and a new play area for Busy Bees pre-school in Kingsclere. The trust's fundraisers have included Winchester Tough Mudder, Bupa Great South West Run, glider flights, a sky dive, swimming with sharks, car boot sales, pamper evenings, netball tournaments, themed evenings and boxing and darts competitions. Mr Gundry said: "We are truly grateful for all the local shops and pubs that have supported our trust by holding one of our collection boxes, particularly Claire French of the George and Horn pub, Kingsclere, who endlessly supports our trust in numerous fundraisers." A psychic evening is planned at the Portal Hall, Burghclere, on Saturday, December 6, with medium Darren Higgins. Tickets cost £15 on the door and there will be a licensed bar. Donations can also be made by texting TRLT07, followed by the amount, to 70070.

I'm not here to argue the merits and talents of Miley Cyrus. Love her or hate her, people are listening to her music and at the end of the day that's what matters. I just want to take a moment to share with you some other phenomenal up-and-coming female artists that may be overshadowed by our current pop princess.
Dessa is a singer/rapper and poet from Minnesota. Her latest album, "Parts of Speech," came out this summer, but I only stumbled across it recently. The album will resonant with anyone that has dealt with love and heartbreak or struggled with the ability to believe in themselves. Dessa impressively mixes the hard with the soft. Some tracks are tough and defiant. While others are delicate and full of vulnerability. Dessa is a great new voice and I look forward to hearing more from her. Here's her tiny desk concert for NPR.
Natalie Maines, of the once hugely popular Dixie Chicks, released her first solo album this past May titled "Mother." On the album she covers Pink Floyd's "Mother" and Eddie Vedder's "Without You." But she goes beyond just singing them, she makes them her own. Vedder's original version backed with only a ukulele is captivating, but Maines' rock rendition adds layers of grit and urgency that make the song's meaning hit home that much more.
Here are a few other artists that I would come highly recommended: Kacey Musgraves, Laura Marling, and Haim.
If you're interested, I've updated our Best Albums of 2013 list: Part 1 and Part 2.

Verizon says CWA created a false impression of the state of its copper network
Sep 24, 2015 11:15am
Verizon (NYSE: VZ) has fired back at the Communications Workers of America's (CWA) claims that it has turned its back on its existing copper networks in its wireline region.
In an FCC filing, Verizon said that the CWA misinterpreted a statement it made in a July letter to the FCC about how much it invests on its copper network.
"As we explained in that letter, Verizon takes reasonable steps to ensure its copper network remains healthy and, contrary to CWA's suggestions, has not engaged in widespread "de facto" retirement of copper," Verizon said in an FCC filing. "As part of that discussion, we wrote that Verizon since 2008 has spent more than $200 million on its copper network. CWA has seized on that comment, taken it out of context, and tried to use it to create the false impression that this was all of the money that Verizon has spent to keep copper in service."
Verizon contends that the "more than $200 million" it referenced does not relate to all of the capital dollars the telco has made in maintaining its copper network.
"Instead, that figure included only one category of capital investments, dedicated to copper infrastructure improvement and focused on proactive rehabilitation of copper facilities and related network support elements -- i.e., cable, air pressure, batteries, etc," said Verizon. "That figure does not represent all of the capital Verizon has invested in its copper network, nor does it include the significant expenses incurred in connection with the copper network, including maintenance and repair costs. Instead, those dollars were uniquely relevant to the issues the Commission then was considering."
De facto copper retirement is a process where a telco will let their aging copper plant deteriorate to the point where it would become necessary to replace the copper with fiber.
Joining CenturyLink (NYSE: CTL), Verizon said its letter was sent to the FCC in order to illustrate its claim that the de facto copper retirement concept is a "myth" and there's no need to include new requirements addressing the issue in its technology transition plans.
CWA, which is still in the process of negotiating a labor agreement with Verizon, asked that federal and state regulators in the 11 states where Verizon operates wireline networks investigate its claims that the telco is not performing necessary repairs and upkeep on its copper landline networks. The union has filed letters to regulators in six states and Washington, D.C.
Nevertheless, copper maintenance and retirement has become an ongoing battleground between the ILECs, CWA and the CLECs that purchase facilities to deliver business services to their customers.
Seeing greater efficiencies with fiber, Verizon has been aggressively retiring consumer copper lines throughout parts of its wireline footprint.
At the end of the second quarter of 2015, Verizon reported that it had converted 51,000 customers off of copper to fiber, bringing its first-half total to 98,000. It has set a full-year goal to convert 200,000 customers.
Meanwhile, CLECs like XO Communications and Windstream, two providers that use ILEC copper loops to provide Ethernet over Copper (EoC) services to complement its fiber product set, are concerned about how the incumbents' copper retirement could affect their ability to deliver business services.
XO had previously asked for a one-year notice on copper retirement, a request that Verizon and US Telecom said would delay the IP transition.

There is a variety of advantages to getting random drug testing on your employees. It is a reasonable method for seeing if your employees are following the guidelines or not. Planning drug testing in the work environment might be easier than you might think, and it should be done at random.
You need to do all that you can keep your employees genuine. Else, you will keep running into issues where employees believe that they can escape with anything. You never comprehend what sorts of drugs individuals could be on, which is the reason it is imperative to test them. All the more significantly, it is vital to do as such haphazardly with the goal that employees can never figure in the matter of when they will be required a test.
In the event that you keep up a consistent timetable predictably, individuals will know precisely when they have to quit utilizing with the goal that they have it out of their framework. They will have the capacity to pass through the test, and you will never get precise outcomes. This can be dangerous all through your business.
When you start random drug testing, you can improve safety at the work environment. Different drugs have different symptoms, and can be greatly hazardous. Individuals might not have the speediest reflexes, which can be an issue in the event that they are out and about or working substantial gear. They may encounter obscured vision, hot sweats, fantasies, and significantly more.
Indeed, even with a portion of the more recreational drugs that are out there, it can bring about lessened profitability. This can likewise cause mishaps since individuals are not going to give careful consideration to what they are doing.
At the point when security issue begin to rise, you will have more wounds. This will begin costing you cash, and the cost of your labourers pay is likely going to increment drastically too.
Worker confidence isn't something you ever need to see drop. At the point when Morale drops can be hard to get it go down. It influences your whole culture, and affects the choice regarding whether employees need to keep working for you or not. Random drug testing can be an extraordinary approach to help spirit, particularly for the individuals who don't take drugs. They would prefer not to work with individuals who are mishandling the framework, not being gainful, and who are infringing upon the law.
Your employees you don't take drugs are likely taking a gander at the ones who do and getting upset with you as a business. The random drug testing can be a definitive confidence sponsor in light of the fact that the individuals who are on drugs are probably going to test positive, and be compelled to locate another activity.
There are numerous businesses where it is entirely illegal for employees to be under the utilization of drugs. Using random drug testing, you can ensure that workers are not utilizing. This will enable you to stay compliant with the majority of the different controls.
We are manufacturer and supplier of FDA approves Urine drug testing Cup, Premium saliva Drug Test Cup and Hair Drug Test Cup for Home, business and institution. These drug test cups are user friendly as well as provide accurate result.

Buzzing, humid and exotic, Bangkok is the larger-than-life city where magnificent temples, historic markets, skyscrapers and rooftop bars create an intoxicating vibe that's hard to resist.
A blend of the traditional and the modern, Bangkok's every street has a surprise in store. Ramshackle buildings crouch next to striking holy shrines, which are overlooked by modern hotels and offices.
But traditional Thai life is never very far away. Saffron-robed monks weave among the morning rush hour to collect alms; communities dwell in stilt houses by the Chao Phraya River, eking out a living using centuries-old skills.
Most visitors begin in Rattanakosin, drawn by the Grand Palace and Wat Po. It's here the Chao Phraya River separates the city proper from its old capital Thonburi, a spot where quiet, narrow canals and floating markets illustrate why Bangkok was once called the 'Venice of the East.'
Banglamphu, the city's backpacker hub, still draws visitors to the non-stop action of Khao San Road, while the markets and restaurants of Chinatown lie just south. North is the leafy district of Dusit, home to Vimanmek Mansion and numerous government buildings.
East of the canals is modern Bangkok, a hive of activity with countless businesses, markets and shopping malls, handily connected by the BTS Skytrain. Around Siam Square and Victory Monument, and up to Sukhumvit Road, is where Bangkok's top hotels, restaurants and bars vie for attention.
The weekend market at Chatuchak remains an essential Bangkok experience. Locals, tourists and ex-pats flock here on the weekend to bargain for household goods, souvenirs, clothes and original Thai art before grabbing a bite to eat or a quick leg massage.
Those heading straight for Thailand's beaches, or to the countryside of the north, miss out on experiencing one of Asia's most exciting, ever-changing capitals.
Spend a few hours in its charm and it's easy to see why the great South East Asian gateway is one of the world's most visited cities; spend a few days in Bangkok and become hooked for life.
The Dusit Thani
This is one of the most opulent hotels in Bangkok and is conveniently located off the Silom Road in the business and entertainment district overlooking Lumphini Park. The 500-plus rooms are all sumptuously decorated in Thai style and all have satellite TVs, VCRs and mini-bars.
The Oriental
One of the most famous hotels in the world, The Oriental is located by the Chao Phraya River and is the hotel of choice for royalty and celebrities past and present, such as Somerset Maugham, the Prince of Wales and Elizabeth Taylor. Although the original Author's Wing was built in 1887 and is very much colonial in style, two more modern wings tend to dominate the appearance of the hotel. However, the 393 rooms (including 35 suites) are all sumptuously decorated.
The Eugenia
A fine boutique hotel, with just 12 suites, in an elegant colonial house. The suites all have antique furniture, part of a collection belonging to the owner. There is a lounge bar and a restaurant, the D B Bradley, which serves a fusion of east and west. Facilities include an open-air swimming pool and high-speed internet access. Airport transfers can be arranged in one of their fleet of vintage cars.
Stylish Bangkok hotel, close to Lumphini Park, with contemporary, understated Thai design throughout. Silk and wood are used in all the rooms and suites. Superb facilities including several restaurants (Italian, Chinese and Japanese), nightclub, spa, fitness centre, swimming pool, jogging track and tennis courts.
With commanding views of the Chao Phraya River, this hotel in Bangkok has a reputation for excellent service and hospitality. All rooms have a river view, some with balconies, terraces or outdoor Jacuzzis, and are sumptuously decorated. Rooms have marble bathrooms, executive work desk, CD/DVD player, camcorder video playback facilities and Wi-Fi. Diners are well catered for with several restaurants including Mediterranean cuisine at Jesters and Thai home-made style cooking at Thiptara. Leisure facilities include a spa, gym, tennis courts and three-tiered swimming pool.
Dream Hotel

There are even pet-friendly rooms. There is one restaurant, Flava , and a cocktail lounge, spa, health club, swimming pool and business centre.

Włodzimierz Łoś (ur. 1849 w Kłębówce na Wołyniu, zm. 3 października 1888 w Monachium) – polski malarz, czynny głównie w Monachium.

Zajmował się malarstwem pejzażowym i wizerunkami koni. W Niemczech używał imienia Waldemar.

Włodzimierz Łoś studiował malarstwo w latach 1870–1872 w Akademii Sztuk Pięknych w Krakowie u Władysława Łuszczkiewicza. Korzystał ze stypendium ufundowanego przez księcia Romana Sanguszkę.

W roku 1872 zamieszkał na stałe w Monachium, gdzie studiował w Akademii Sztuk Pięknych u Otto Seitza (w 1873 r. zgłosił się kolejno: 1 V do Naturklasse, 28 X do Malschule), a od 1874 w prywatnej pracowni Józefa Brandta. Należał do monachijskiego środowiska malarzy polskich, a także do niemieckiego stowarzyszenia Kunstverein München, gdzie uczestniczył w wystawach malarstwa.

Od roku 1873 uczestniczył też w wystawach w Krakowie, Lwowie i Warszawie. Wraz z malarzami Walerym Krycińskim i Sewerynem Bieszczadem założył grupę artystyczną "Nora" mieszczącą się w Warszawie przy ulicy Długiej.

W swojej twórczości pozostał wierny tematyce krajobrazów Podola i Wołynia, a także scenom w których pojawiały się konie: polowaniom, jarmarkom, przejażdżkom, wyścigom konnym i scenom batalistycznym. Wiele jego obrazów trafiło do kolekcji w Niemczech i Stanach Zjednoczonych.

Oprócz obrazów olejnych tworzył ilustracje do prasy polskiej.

Popcorn ceiling removal is one of the must do items in any remodel or update project.

Remove furniture and items in the room.
Seal off the entire room by hanging two millimeter plastic sheets from the crown molding all the way to the floor (Image 1).
Put a window fan in the window for added ventilation.
Add a drop cloth with a waterproof backing to the floor (Image 2).
If the popcorn was added before 1979, get it tested for asbestos by either wetting down a small area with a sponge and scraping off a little to place in a small bag, or by having a professional come out and test it.
Use a basic garden sprayer to wet down the ceiling. This will soften the ceiling texture and help to break down the adhesive bond making scraping easier.
Work in an area about 5 feet square. It's better to make several passes than allow the popcorn ceiling to absorb too much water which could damage the paper surface and the wallboards underneath.
Wait 10-15 minutes for the water to soak in and then start scraping it off (Image 1) with a ceiling texture scraper (Image 2).
Use a smaller putty knife to scrape the corners and the crown molding.
When the acoustic is substantially removed you will begin to see the results and beauty of this process. But often the ceiling has been slightly damaged in the process.
Repairing the Sheetrock, Recoating the Joints and Nails and smoothing out uneven areas is the final step in the removal process.

Baby number three for Jacqueline?!
Following the glitzy affair, some snaps emerged in the press appearing to show the duo, who share their two daughters three-year-old Ella and seven-month-old Mia, engaged in an intense-looking debate.
Sources had then claimed the root of the argument had been caused by 27-year-old Dan 'talking to a group of women' – with a fellow partygoer claimed 26-year-old Jacqueline was left in tears over the row.
However, despite the worrying claims, the former Eastenders actress has taken to social media to assure fans that everything is right as rain – even suggesting the duo could be considering a third edition to their brood!
Jacqueline often delights fans with her regular updates of her adorable twosome – managing to keep it as real as possible with followers.
Sharing a recent snap of her daughters, Jacqueline penned a tribute to the girls highlighting that there is 'no such thing as a perfect parent'.
'These 2 are EVERYTHING 💞,' she shared. 'I really hope they know how much I love them.
Fingers crossed for some baby news soon!
