History of Mobility Cup
Disabled sailing got its start at Expo 86 in Vancouver when British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher donated a British made Sunbird sailboat to Rick Hansen in honour of his "Man in Motion World Tour". In 1988 Rick Hansen presented this boat to Sam Sullivan, who subsequently used it to found the Disabled Sailing Association of BC.
The first Mobility Cup was initiated in 1991 in Vancouver by Sam Sullivan, founder of the Disabled Sailing Association of BC. Sam's hope was that by inviting key individuals from other cities to take part in Mobility Cup – whether they had ever sailed before was irrelevant – that the sport of disabled sailing would spread and grow.
That's exactly what happened. People became excited about the potential and recognized what it could mean for people with disabilities in their home towns. New disabled sailing organizations began appearing in cities across Canada and the United States. There are now seventeen disabled sailing associations across Canada.
Sam Sullivan dedicated the Mobility Cup Trophy with a Deed of Gift on Sept. 5, 2001. He said: "It is my wish that Mobility Cup stand as a symbol of freedom and possibility and to demonstrate that all areas of life can be made accessible for people with all levels of disability."

A couple power play goals, some breakaways, that would explain it. Can't give a team full of snipers like the Wheaties too many odd-man rushes, they'll make you pay every time. Breakaways are just a result of total mis-communication between the defensemen and I think with all the juggling they've been doing partner-wise the last few games it probably has a lot to do with it. Hopefully that gets straightened out in time for this weekend. Anyone going on the fan bus trip to Alberta?

The Enough Moment – A New Book
SGN Blog
Katie-Jay
Last Updated: September 14, 2010 September 14, 2010
Almost every human rights activist has faced that moment in their life when they learn about a grave human rights atrocity, and say to themselves, "I must do something. I can do something."
This is exactly what John Prendergast and Don Cheadle's new book, The Enough Moment, is all about. Last week here in Los Angeles, JP and Cheadle had an inspiring community conversation about their Enough moments and how together we can make a difference in countries like Sudan, Uganda, and Congo.
Gabriel also shared his Enough Moment, which is included in the book on page 87. He mentioned the powerful brainstorming sessions he had with his then nine-year-old daughter, Noemi, about what more they could do to make an impact on the world. Noemi, now 14 and attending high school, listened in the audience as her father shared his story.
Check out this great new book that is a conversation between JP and Cheadle about important conflicts and the Frontline, Famous, and Citizen Upstanders who have decided to no longer be bystanders. It's a must read for advocates and a great opportunity to bring this information into the classroom if you are an educator.
You can also share your own Enough Moment and connect with thousands of activists. Together we are a movement working to end genocide and mass atrocities!

ADVOCACY GROUPS PRAISE ADMINISTRATION'S STEPPED-UP LEADERSHIP ON SUDAN


The Eglinton-Crosstown is one of the largest transit expansion projects in North America today – and it's happening right here in Toronto. The Province of Ontario through Metrolinx has invested $8.4 billion to fund transit projects in Toronto.
The Eglinton-Crosstown will provide rapid transit across the Eglinton corridor, linking subway lines and replacing the Scarborough RT with a modern, reliable service. The Crosstown will move passengers 60% faster than bus service today.
The 25 kilometre line will include up to 26 stations. Nineteen kilometres will run underground from Black Creek Drive to Kennedy Station. The Crosstown will continue on a structure completely separated from traffic for 6 kilometres to Scarborough City Centre.
Construction has started with tunnel launch site preparation underway at Keelesdale Park (On Eglinton avenue, between Black Creek Drive and Keele Street). Tunnelling will begin in summer 2012 and head east.
*Exact alignment west of Keele Street and east of Laird Drive to be determined.
The main station entrance for the Allen Road – Eglinton West Station will remain unchanged. An east station entrance will be located at Allen Road North and Eglinton West, and a west station entrance will be located at Allen Road South and Eglinton West.
The key benefits of the Eglinton West Station Design include: an improved look and feel from the street for the community; a new pedestrian underground walkway from east and west; entrances to safely cross underneath Allen Road; and preserved potential for a future station entrance in the Police Station Parking Lot when/if that land is developed.
Below are two preliminary representations of the entrances and station, subject to change throughout the next phases of the design process. The Crosstown is three levels below the existing subway entrance, and three levels below the future West and East entrances. Passengers will travel below ground to the concourse level where they will pay their fare and then down two more levels to board the train.
At this early design stage, construction staging is not yet developed. Individual construction plans for each station will be developed with local consultation, well before construction. As part of the tunelling process, tunnel extraction shaft construction at Allen West is tentatively expected to begin Summer 2012 (TBD), and launch shaft construction at Allen East is tentatively scheduled for Fall 2012 (TBD). Construction of Eglinton West station is currently scheduled to start Spring 2014 (TBD).

Il darunavir è un inibitore delle proteasi che viene utilizzato nel trattamento dei soggetti con infezione da HIV ed AIDS. Darunavir è stato progettato per inibire l'enzima proteasi di molti ceppi di HIV, inclusi quei ceppi che presentavano resistenza, a seguito di mutazioni, a molti altri inibitori della proteasi.
In Italia il farmaco è venduto dalla società farmaceutica Janssen-Cilag con il nome commerciale di Prezista nella forma farmacologica di compresse rivestite contenenti 300, 400 e 600 mg di darunavir (come etanolato).

Farmacodinamica
Il darunavir interferisce con la formazione di alcune proteine essenziali per il virus, in particolare con le poliproteine Gag-Pol che vengono codificate da HIV all'interno delle cellule infettate. Il composto impedisce il clivaggio di queste proteine (ovvero ne impedisce la trasformazione da precursore inattivo a forma attiva) e quindi blocca la formazione di particelle virali mature rendendo il virus incapace di infettare altre cellule.
Lo sviluppo di resistenza al composto tende a svilupparsi più rapidamente se viene utilizzato da solo, e con maggiore lentezza in caso di contemporanea somministrazione con altri inibitori della proteasi. La resistenza sembra essere associata alla sostituzione di alcuni amminoacidi nel gene della proteasi.

Farmacocinetica
Dopo somministrazione per via orale il darunavir è rapidamente assorbito dal tratto gastroenterico. La concentrazione plasmatica massima (Cmax), quando co-somministrato con ritonavir a basso dosaggio, viene raggiunta entro 2,5-4 ore dall'assunzione.
La biodisponibilità della molecola assunta per os è pari a circa il 37% ma aumenta fino ad oltre l'80% se viene contemporaneamente somministrata in presenza di una bassa dose di ritonavir (100 mg due volte al giorno).
Se la somministrazione è accompagnata dall'assunzione di cibo, la biodisponibilità incrementa ulteriormente.
Il legame del composto con le proteine plasmatiche è di circa il 95%. Nel legame appare principalmente coinvolta la α1–glicoproteina acida plasmatica.
Darunavir è metabolizzato ampiamente per ossidazione dal sistema epatico del citocromo P450, ed in modo quasi esclusivo dall'isoenzima CYP3A4. Almeno 3 metaboliti ossidativi di darunavir sono dotati di attività antiretrovirale, sia pure inferiore rispetto al composto progenitore.
Il farmaco viene eliminato dall'organismo umano per circa l'80% con le feci (per il 40% in forma immodificata) e per il
14% tramite l'emuntorio renale (il 7-8% in forma immodificata).
L'emivita di eliminazione terminale è di 15 ore.

Usi clinici
Darunavir è un inibitore delle proteasi che trova indicazione nel trattamento dell'infezione da HIV e nei soggetti affetti da AIDS.
Per evitare l'emergenza di resistenze viene utilizzato in associazione con altre molecole ad attività antiretrovirale. Darunavir è somministrato con una bassa dose di ritonavir, che agisce come potenziatore della farmacocinetica del primo. È stato inserito nelle linee guida SIMIT del 13 marzo 2020 in combinazione al ritonavir o al Cobicistat come alternativa la lopinavir per l'infezione da SARS-CoV-2

Effetti collaterali ed indesiderati
Gli eventi avversi più spesso segnalati in corso di trattamento con darunavir sono di tipo gastrointestinale: comune il dolore addominale, la nausea e il vomito, la dispepsia, la flatulenza e diarrea. Meno comuni stomatite, secchezza delle fauci, lingua impaniata, eruttazione, malattia da reflusso gastroesofageo, gastrite, pancreatite, stipsi.

Altri effetti riportati in letteratura medica comprendono astenia, cefalea, vertigine, stanchezza, insonnia, alterazioni dei lipidi sierici: in particolare ipertrigliceridemia e ipercolesterolemia.

Con minore frequenza è stata riportata la comparsa di infarto miocardico, tachicardia, gotta, diabete mellito/iperglicemia, osteoporosi, sonnolenza e attacchi ischemici cerebrali transitori.
Rari i casi di reazioni cutanee come rash cutaneo, iperpigmentazione, perdita di capelli, reazioni orticarioidi, eritema multiforme, necrolisi epidermica tossica e sindrome di Stevens-Johnson.

Per lungo tempo si è sospettato che alcuni pazienti in trattamento antiretrovirale con darunavir potessero andare incontro a lipodistrofia; il 23 ottobre 2015 l'EMA, in linea con le evidenze raccolte nel corso degli anni, ha convenuto di togliere gli avvertimenti sull'accumulo anomalo e sulla ridistribuzione del grasso corporeo

Controindicazioni
Il farmaco è controindicato nei soggetti con ipersensibilità nota al principio attivo oppure ad uno qualsiasi degli eccipienti utilizzati nella preparazione farmacologica. Inoltre è controindicato nei soggetti con grave insufficienza epatica, mentre i soggetti con insufficienza moderata dovrebbero essere attentamente monitorati nel corso del trattamento.

Nikole Hannah-Jones: 'There are a lot of wrongs in this world & I want my journalism to help right them.'
By Perla Arellano Fraire
Just like any other industry, journalism must also come to a reckoning with its role in the institution of slavery, said said New York Times Magazine reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones,during her ISOJ keynote session, "Covering race from 1619-present."
"There are so many industries that were entangled in the institution of slavery, even though we have been taught to think that the only people who benefited or bare any responsibility for slavery are people who actually owned human beings, but of course we know that is not the case," she said.
In a July 23 conversation with moderator Jeff Jarvis, director of the Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism at CUNY's Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, Hannah-Jones spoke about her Pulitzer Prize-winning 1619 Project, the obstacles journalists of color face in the industry, and her advice to journalism students of color and mentors.
Nikole Hannah-Jones and Jeff Jarvis during ISOJ.
It is necessary, she said, for journalists, regardless of their beat, to write about racial inequality. To not do so, she said, would be to ignore the lived experience of Black communities and other communities of color.
With the publishing of The 1619 Project, which examined the institution of slavery in the United States, Hannah-Jones said she felt a heavy responsibility because she knew if her work failed it might end up closing the doors to Black journalists and other journalists of color who would want to undertake similar projects. Since the 1619 Project was published, Hannah-Jones has partnered up with Oprah Winfrey and Lionsgate to adapt the project into a TV series, documentary films and more. She has also signed a multi book deal with Penguin Random House, which is set to come out in Fall 2021.

When asked how she handles the psychological weight of having right-wing media try and discredit her and her work, she said that is not something she spends a lot of time thinking about.
"I have a power to write about things on the biggest platform in the world in a way that can change the national conversation," she said. "I try to funnel it into more work and try to use what privilege I have for the benefit of my people."
When asked by Jarvis what reparations would look like in journalism, Hannah-Jones said it was a question she would like to think more about, yet offered the response that reparations had to be monetary and needed to go beyond the renaming of a building or the hiring of more journalists of color. As an industry, journalism has done badly in hiring Black journalists and retaining that talent.
"Industries are looking for small levels of racial diversity but they want phenotype diversity," she said. "They want people who are racially different but ideologically the same."
She spoke about her experience at The Oregonian, where she worked for six years, during which time she said she was thinking of leaving the industry all together. It's a common experience for Black, Latino and indigenous journalists who get into the newsroom and are driven out.
"Our industry is based on transparency and accountability… we refuse to be accountable and transparent ourselves about who we hire. I think it's so hypocritical…" she said. "It's a scorn on our industry that we refuse to be transparent on those things."
On the topic of what advice she would give journalists of color starting out, Hannah-Jones said it's challenging work and that it takes a lot of effort to find editors to accept the stories you pitch. Offering advice, Hannah-Jones said she would analyze editors' decisions and then rework her pitch to turn it into something that would get approval.
"Find a mentor somewhere who can help open doors from you and guide you. You have to find people that open doors," she said.
Mentors are also key in nurturing aspiring journalists. They shouldn't "presume that silence [from student journalists] is disinterest," especially when it comes to first-generation students who come from communities that have been marginalized, Hannah-Jones said.
Jarvis followed up on this saying: "Be aware of their imposter syndrome and that you are the cure for that as their mentor. There's a bias to silence."
When asked if she considers herself an educator, Hannah-Jones answered that teaching is built into her writing since she is telling readers the whys and hows and providing context for decisions going years back. The element of education, she added, provides understanding and therefore the empathy to want to do something about injustice.
"There are a lot of wrongs in this world and I want my journalism to help right them," Hannah-Jones said. "Not only do I write and try to educate through my writing, I teach all over the country about the things I write about. In that way, I hope my journalism is educational."

Bankruptcy is a legal procedure that allows an individual or business to have some or all of their debts discharged. It is typically considered as an option of last resort, because while it can stave off financial disaster, it has some substantial long-term consequences warranting careful consideration of the costs and benefits. Bankruptcy is controlled by federal law, and proceeds in federal courts. So, the process for filing for bankruptcy in Arkansas will be very similar to the process everywhere else in the U.S. However, individual bankruptcy courts have different rules for exemptions, so it might be a good idea to consult with a local lawyer in Fort Smith, Arkansas before filing.
In Fort Smith, Arkansas, there are 2 typical types of commonly-used consumer bankruptcy: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Chapter 7 states that a certain percentage of the debtor's property be liquidated to pay off at least a small part of their debt. However, many forms of property are exempt, and do not need to be liquidated, such as cars, homes, insurance policies, and retirement accounts.
Once appropriate assets are sold, and the money turned over to the creditors, most remaining debt is excused. However, there are certain types of debt that cannot be excused in bankruptcy, including student loans, taxes, child support, and criminal fines. If most of your debt is non-dischargeable, it may not be a good idea to file for bankruptcy in Fort Smith, Arkansas.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy in Fort Smith, Arkansas differs considerably from Chapter 7. It might be a better option than Chapter 7, depending on the facts of your case. Chapter 13 does not absolve any debt, but it creates a new payment plan that should give the debtor some breathing room. Typically, all of the debts are consolidated into 1 periodic payment. While this may make it take longer to pay off the debt, if the debtor is willing to make a few sacrifices, the plan should be manageable.
Of course, you should always seek the counsel of an accomplished local Fort Smith, Arkansas bankruptcy attorney before you make the decision to file. He or she will be able to advise you of your options, and suggest the best possible course of action for your specific situation.

We live in a time and place obsessed with appearance. My Body, Myself is a discussion of how the cultural focus on beauty hurts an individual woman's perception of her own body -- her body image -- and her whole self.
The thousands of images of perfect women's bodies we've seen in our media on a daily basis, for decades, has made each of us feel flawed in comparison to an appearance standard. Our culture's focus on our looks has created the idea deep down that it's our job to look like the people we see in the magazines, on TV, and on social media. So, we've tried to control our bodies the way our diet culture advises, by restricting our food.
For middle-aged women raised in the 60s and 70s dieting was normal. This was the beginning of our current diet culture. Half a century of dieting and food restriction later, we see how the need to control our body shape and size has wreaked havoc on our generation. And, it's spiraled out of control for our daughters. Their generation has had more media, more focus on their bodies, more cultural fat-phobia and weight stigma, and less of safe place to land at home because of our generation's body image issues.
One of food restriction's ugliest by-products, eating disorders, was practically unheard of 50 years ago. Today, the National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA) predicts that 20 million women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with an eating disorder in their lifetime. This number is staggering; nearly 1 of every 8 American women will be diagnosed with a mental illness around body image and eating.
We all live on a continuum of body dissatisfaction today, from disliking parts of our bodies to a pervasive hatred of the skin we live in. Seven of every 8 women live with this negative view of their bodies, a negative body image.
Our focus on our own bodies -- how they appear to others, what to feed them, and what they need to weigh -- has become an overwhelming distraction in our lives and the lives of our daughters. It zaps our confidence and courage because we feel flawed. It steals our time and energy because we spend so much of our time and energy focused on how we appear. This time and energy drain keeps both younger and older women from living how we want to live. It keeps us down; it keeps us small.
It's time we women learn to appreciate our bodies for what they do for us, not as an ornament for others' viewing pleasure. This is how we learn to love and appreciate our bodies as vehicles to live our best lives from. This is how we learn body confidence.
We don't have to stay down or small. It's time to inhabit our bodies, figure out what makes us happy, and spend our precious time doing that.
No one can make you feel that your body is flawed without your consent. Don't consent.


Dr. Pawan K. Bhartia, the winner of the Kaufman award, is a senior research scientist in the Atmospheric Chemistry and Dynamics Branch at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
For these reasons, the AGU Atmospheric Sciences Section is proud to award the 2012 Kaufman Award to P. K. Bhartia.
—ALAN ROBOCK, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N. J.
It was an honor and pleasure to receive the 2012 Yoram J. Kaufman Unselfish Cooperation in Research Award from the Atmospheric Sciences Section of the American Geophysical Union. Yoram and I joined NASA around the same time and were colleagues at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center until his tragic death in 2006 in a bicycle accident inside the GSFC campus. The award named after him not only honors Yoram's life and work, but it is also one of the rare scientific awards given for collaboration and teamwork, in which Yoram excelled.
As the complexity of scientific research is increasing, scientific progress increasingly requires team building, mentoring, and cooperation. This is particularly true of the science we do at NASA. Though I have received many personal career achievement awards from NASA and other organizations, I cherish the team awards most.
Most of all, I cherish the citation and the nomination letters sent by some 27 of my colleagues for this award. I didn't know that I had touched the lives of so many. My greatest reward has been the pleasure to work with them. I think the famous Chinese proverb doesn't quite capture it. The pleasure one derives from teaching someone how to fish is at least as important as the skill one conveys.

Lanner Falcon
DESCRIPTION: Lanner falcons are stocky, powerful birds of prey. They are raptors, as are eagles, hawks and owls. They have long, thin, pointed wings, relatively short tails, and a powerful hooked beak of a greyish-blue colour. Their extremely sharp talons are non-retractable and they have an opposable hind toe on each talon. They have a noticeable "tooth", halfway along the upper mandible, that fits into a notch in the lower bill. Their bones are lightweight, and some are hollow; the lightness allows for greater flying abilities.
Lanner falcons are large birds, measuring between 43 and 50 cm in length with a wingspan of 95 - 105 cm. Females can weight between 700 and 900 g, while the smaller males are between 500 and 600 g. Lanners are a slate to grey-brown colour above, paler on the rump, and pale buff below with sparse brown spotting on the breast. The crown and nape are rufous. They have a blackish band from eye to nape, narrow blackish moustachial marks, and dark streaking on the fore crown. Pale buff cheeks extend almost to the eyes; the tail has narrow pale barring. Wing linings are pale, but may have darker bands across the greater coverts. The base of the beak, orbital ring (cere) and the feet of the Lanner are yellow. Adults in North Africa, are more heavily streaked and barred below, and the crown is dark chestnut in colour. The sexes have similar colouration, and juvenile birds are generally slimmer with brownish back and dark streaked underparts.
Conservation Status: IUCN
Lanner falcons have a large range of distribution, being found throughout most of Africa, in southeastern Europe, Turkey, and Asia Minor.
These birds prefer areas dominated by rocky cliffs. They can be found on the African seashores as well as inland. They like open country and savanna since this is an ideal situation for them to hunt. They are also found in semi arid desert areas, and in areas that offer an arid climate. They avoid forests.
Their preferred food is small to medium sized birds, like thrushes or pigeons. However, they will also take bats, insects, small mammals, and reptiles. In rare circumstances, the Lanner falcon has been known to take domestic fowl. Food on the wing is hunted horizontally and caught in flight. They often share their hunting territory with other raptors, like owls, kestrels, and other falcons.
Lanner falcons are sexually mature at one to two years of age. They are monogamous, living in pairs, usually for life. Breeding takes place generally when there is an abundance of food available for raising the young. Lanner falcons do not often build nests; instead they reuse old nests of other birds like vultures or crows. Occasionally they will nest on a cliff ledge amongst the rocks, or in the hollow of a tree. Four to six eggs are generally laid, (one egg every two days), between mid-February and the end of March. Both parents share incubation duties, with the female doing most of it. The male gets food for both of them, while the female fiercely protects the eggs from potential predators such as birds, mammals, or reptiles. In some instances, it has been observed that the mating male is not allowed near the eggs either. When returning with food for her, he will let out a shriek, kri kri, and she will fly to him; the male drops the food and she retrieves it and returns to the eggs.
Incubation lasts for about four weeks with the chicks hatching out in mid-April. The first hatchling is usually the largest of the brood, and has been known to kill and eat the smaller ones. The female bird feeds the young. Fledging occurs five to six weeks after hatching in about mid May or early June, and fledglings are dependent on the parents for about two months. After that, they are on their own. Their lifespan can be up to 15 years in the wild.
Adaptation:
Lanner falcons are raptors, and although they are at the top of their food chain, larger raptors may attack them as their prey. These fast and agile flyers catch and kill their prey with their feet; usually killing it with the long opposable hind toe. The lanner attains speeds of up to 144 kph when in pursuit of its prey. A human being, stooping or diving at these speeds would not be able to breathe at all. Raptors have special adaptations in their nostrils that allow them to breathe. Each nostril has two fins and a rod – the air is slowed down considerably as it passes by them, making breathing less of an effort. The lanner more often attacks its prey horizontally – head on, something quite unique in the raptor world. This requires incredibly fast reflexes to catch its prey in mid-air. Sometimes, lanners merely stun their prey in the air, and hit them so hard that they fall to the ground. The lanner will then use its "tooth", and insert it in the cervical vertebrae of the prey to dislocate the neck. It uses its powerful hooked beak to grip and tear away at prey.
This species is diurnal, meaning that they are out and about during daylight hours. The lanner has forward facing eyes; with binocular vision (binocularity), which enables them to see prey from a great distance and judge distances accurately. Their eyesight is eight times better than humans. Normally, they hunt as a mating pair where the female will flush out the prey and the male will chase it down and catch it. It has been observed, during wintering, that they will sometimes group hunt – co-operating with other falcons to flush and ambush prey.
Threats to Survival:
These birds are very common in Africa where their numbers are thought to be increasing. However, declining populations make it endangered at the European level. The reasons for these declining numbers are several, and include habitat loss, and elevated pesticide use. Eggs are stolen from nests for collectors, zoos, and tourists, and the birds themselves are shot by hunters seeking larks, or trying to control the populations of "pest" birds like corvids. Rock climbers disturb breeding sites, causing them to be abandoned. Generally Lanners are bred in captivity for falconry.

Q: How to calculate the error terms in mixed ANOVA? I recently came across this question and just couldn't figure it out.
I have to derive a ANOVA table from the following data:

B1
B2
B3

A1
35
32
29

A2
29
28
27

A is a between-participants IV with 2 levels. B is a within-participants IV with 3 levels. Each cell represents the mean of 10 observations. SSTotal is 1520 and no other information (SD, subjects mean...) is available.
I am given a table as following:

SS
df
MS
F

A

B

A-Residual

B-Residual

AB-Residual
?

Total
1520
59

For the non-residual parts I'm fine and have come to these results:

SS
df
MS

A
240
1
240

B
160
2
80

AB
40
2
80

Given SST=1520, I know the total residual must be 1520-440=1080. I also know the degree of freedom of A-Residual = subjects - A levels = 18, and since this is a mixed design AB Residual can be identical to B Residual with a degree of freedom = 36. But how do I partition the total error (1080) to these two parts (A & B)?
Thanks in advance for your helping!

And so, as it goes… I found myself a new novel to read and it is reading from the original language, Mandarin. And I am addicted to the novel…. I am reading it at every opportunity I could….
Good Morning, Mr President! (早安,总统大人!) is a novel by the Chinese Novelist, 南音音 (Nan Yin Yin). Be warn…. this novel is not completed yet!
I got addicted to Good Morning, Mr President! (早安,总统大人!) when I started reading the translated version on Ai Hrist Dream Translations. Unfortunately, the translation stop at Chapter 9. And I started reading it in the original language from then on…..
Good Morning, Mr President! (早安,总统大人!) is the story of Xia Xing Chen whom at at her young age, 18 years old, got pregnant unexpectedly one fine night. When she thought that it was all seems to be a dream, two months later, to her dismay, she found out that she is pregnant. And she did not know who the father of the baby is.
Xing Chen, wanted to abort the fetus and went to the hospital. Just as she was about to be operated on to remove the fetus, the hospital received a call. And this resulted in all the hospital in the country not daring to operate on her and removing the fetus.
She broke up with her boyfriend, Xu Yan and had the baby.
Five years later, when she least expected it, the child was taken away from her suddenly. And to her surprised, the child's father is actually the President.
This is the start of Xing Chen's story with Bai Ye Qing, the President. What started off rough for them especially Xing Chen, Bai Ye Qing slowly fell in love with Xia Xing Chen. And Xia Dabai suddenly gaining a father, is the happiest boy with his dream come true.
As each novel as it is, the road ahead of Xia Xing Chen and Bai Ye Qing was not smooth with many obstacles filled with surprises, secrets and jealousy.
When Bai Ye Qing found out that Xia Xing Chen is his cousin, he tried to hide the fact from everyone. And he quickly arranged for them to get married. Marry did they not unfortunately as they were found out by the Bai family.
Not wanting to give up their love, Bai Ye Qing fought hard to stay with Xia Xing Chen. Will their love win in the end?
I guess I would continue to read this addictive novel for the next month or so…. And pray hard that it will be a good ending for Bai Ye Qing and Xia Xing Chen.
Tim (팀) Hwang is back!

Game Day Slants: Jones feeling empty after record day
September 18, 2016 By Brett Friedlander Leave a Comment

COLUMBIA, SC — The stat sheet from ECU's game at South Carolina was one that Zay Jones might want to frame and proudly admire someday.
Someday, but not Saturday.
That's because when the senior wide receiver looks at the numbers on the page for now, he's too distracted by the score line at the top to notice the 22 receptions that helped put his name into two college football record books.
(Article continues below navigation box.)

Audio: Coach Mo Post-Game (Recorded by Al Myatt)
The only stat that mattered to Jones in the immediate aftermath of his career game at Williams-Brice Stadium is the one showing that the Pirates suffered a heartbreaking 20-15 loss to the Gamecocks.
"With all due respect, I'm not worried about that right now," Jones said of the school and American Athletic Conference records he broke in a losing effort. "I've got guys in the locker room that are hurt and disappointed. Right now my focus is on the team, not me."
Jones did everything he could to help that team effort by hauling in virtually every pass quarterback Philip Nelson threw his way.
He had 10 catches by halftime and despite plenty of attention from the Gamecocks' secondary, he got even more over the final two periods. During one drive late in the third quarter and early in the fourth, the 6-foot-1, 197-pound senior caught five passes in a seven-play span.
The last of those, a 14-yard grab across the middle, was his 18th of the game — breaking the ECU mark set by Justin Hardy on Oct. 12, 2013 against Tulane.
Jones went on to catch four more balls, finishing one short of the NCAA record of 23 set by UNLV's Randy Gatewood in 1994 and Eastern Michigan's Tyler Jones in 2008.
"He's phenomenal," center J.T. Boyd said of his roommate Zay Jones. "He puts in the work. He deserves to play like that. He's watching film all the time at the house, running extra routes with Phil after practice. Those two deserve to have good games and they put on for the team like they should."
Jones came into Saturday's game having already caught 17 passes for 253 yards on the young season. It's a total he surpassed in one afternoon.
"Our game plan this week involved a lot of getting Zay the ball and putting him in positions to make plays," Nelson said. "The coaches called the plays. Trust me, I go through my reads and he finds the ball. That's just our offense."
One thing that helped Jones get open so consistently is that he moves around so much in coach Scottie Montgomery's attack. His frequent shifting from outside receiver to inside and back, working both sides of the field, made it difficult for the Gamecocks to locate him until the ball was in his hands.
"When you come on road games you want to pack the bus with a lot of guys with big-time character. Those are the guys that always play well," Montgomery said. "[Jones] has big-time character and is a big-time player. When you put those two things together, it doesn't matter where you go."
As productive a game as Jones had catching the ball on a day in which he moved past Dwayne Harris into second place behind Hardy on the Pirates' all-time receptions list, the biggest hole in the star receiver's stat line was his inability to get into the end zone.
But he was hardly alone.
Four times ECU drove inside the USC 10-yard line during final three quarters and on all three occasions, it came away without scoring. It wasn't until the final 2½ minutes that Nelson finally hit Devin Anderson with their team's only touchdown of the day.
On the ensuing 2-point conversion try, Jones was on the throwing end of a pass that fell short of Nelson in the end zone.
It proved to be a frustrating ending to what could have been an unforgettable day.
"I always expect to do well and I expect my teammates to do well," Jones said. ". . . Our offense shot ourselves in the foot and it showed. We put some great drives together, it just sucks that we couldn't finish and we came up short. It hurts. It hurts really bad."

Rosalind Ambrose (born 1953) is a Vincentian radiologist who has been instrumental in the development of the field in her country and throughout the Caribbean region. She served as Director of Education for the Kingstown Medical College, was a founding member of the Caribbean Society of Radiologists, and was President of the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Medical Association from 2001 to 2010.

Early life
Rosalind Baptiste was born in 1953  in Kingstown, on the island of St Vincent, a part of the British Windward Islands. She was raised by her mother in Kingstown Park. After completion of her primary schooling, Baptiste attended St. Vincent Girls' High School and then moved to Seattle, Washington to complete a course in applied science at North Seattle Community College. She went on to further her education, earning a bachelor's degree in zoology from the University of Washington and then enrolling in St. George's University School of Medicine in Grenada in 1979 on a scholarship from the government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. In 1982, she married a fellow student at St. George's, Dennis Ambrose, from Trinidad. Initially she wanted to pursue pediatric medicine and completed her Doctor of Medicine degree in 1983.

Career
Upon her graduation, Ambrose worked in a chest surgeon's office as a medical transcriptionist, which influenced her desire to specialize in radiology. While in Trinidad, she gave birth to her oldest daughter Michaela. After completing a two-year internship, which was completed partly in St. Vincent and partly in Trinidad, she obtained a fellowship to continue her education at the Chinese University of Hong Kong completing studies on diagnostic radiology at the Prince of Wales Hospital. After completion of her studies, she was hired as a lecturer for the university and remained in Hong Kong for two more years, giving birth during this time to her second daughter, Gabriella.

Returning to St. Vincent, Ambrose worked for around eight years as the director of education at the Kingstown Medical College and taught as an associate professor on imaging for the clinical anatomy curricula. In 1998, she opened her own business, Caribbean Medical Imaging Center (CMIC), bringing the first CAT scan services to the island nation. She also introduced fluoroscopy, mammography and ultrasound, among other technologies and was the pioneer of teleradiology in St. Vincent, which allowed transmission of imaging for consultation with specialists in other parts of the world without having to travel.

Ambrose works as a consultant with the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital and was a founding member of the Caribbean Society of Radiologists (CSR) formed in 1993. For twenty-three years after the formation of the CSR, Ambrose acted as chair of the organizational committee for the annual conferences of the society. Between 2001 and 2010, she was elected and served as president of the St Vincent and the Grenadines Medical Association. Since 2008, Ambrose has served as chair of the National Accreditation Board to assure that degree standards offered by colleges and universities in Saint Vincent are accredited.

When wholeness and justice replace cycles of incarceration and oppression, communities THRIVE.
Work to address the needs of returning citizens and their communities has become critical. According to the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics, an estimated 1,561,500 prisoners were incarcerated in U.S. state and federal correctional facilities at the end of 2014 (Walmsley, World Prison Population List, tenth edition, International Centre for Prison Studies, 2013). Most of these citizens will be returning to communities, but many for only a brief time. In a 2014 study of recidivism for citizens released in 2005, more than 67% were arrested for a new crime within three years of release, and almost 77% were arrested within five years of release (Cooper, Durose, Snyder; Recidivism of Prisoners Released in 30 States in 2005: Patterns From 2005 to 2010, U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, April 2014). With more than 600,000 people returning to communities each year, this is a crisis American society cannot afford to ignore. There is an urgent need to reintegrate returning citizens into local communities in a truly meaningful way.
But returning citizens are often the last people American society wants to empower. The issues of injustice in the rates of incarceration for the poor and minorities are widely understood, but when it comes to the actual individuals coming home, society all too often falls short of compassion and continue to punish people for their convictions—dehumanizing and categorizing returning citizens as less deserving of employment, housing, and social supports. How can communities learn to embrace and support their returning citizens, to provide the opportunity for healing and new beginnings?
THRIVE is working to build wholeness in our communities after incarceration by empowering adults returning from incarceration (returning citizen/neighbor) and integrating community members into experiences of reentry. The THRIVE Community does this by organizing and supporting grassroots efforts for restorative reentry, community building, and constituent leadership.
RESTORATIVE REENTRY: THRIVE organizes Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSA), an evidence-based reentry model, where a dedicated team including a returning citizen and three community volunteers meets weekly for at least one year after the returning citizen is released. This team is supported by a THRIVE staff member and fortified with concentric circles including appropriate family members still in the returning citizen's life, professional advisers equipped to respond to the challenges the team might face, as well as supportive community groups and organizations. These layers of community join together to strengthen the resilience of returning citizens–helping individuals uphold reentry requirements and achieve their own goals, while at the same time providing a space for supportive forms of accountability.
COMMUNITY BUILDING: Building the THRIVE Community starts with equipping community members to become stronger allies in reentry. THRIVE hosts quarterly trainings open to all community members.
CONSTITUENT LEADERSHIP: THRIVE supports and mentors grassroots organizers who have experienced incarceration to enable and foster community change.
Through restorative reentry, community building, and constituent leadership THRIVE empowers communities to become whole after harm and incarceration. With your support, THRIVE Communities will double the capacity of local efforts in three Massachusetts cities and explore ways to support THRIVE Community start-ups wherever Circles of Support are wanted.

From $2,445 $2,515
Activity Level:
Explore the north-west frontier of Roman Britain
Roman presence in the northwest was by no means concentrated around the area of Hadrian's Wall and wherever you travel in Cumbria you are not far from evidence of Roman settlement. Primarily a military region at the edge of the empire, the area was a complex of roads and defences and everywhere there is evidence of the trail they blazed during those four centuries when the greater part of Britain became a province of the mighty Roman Empire.
Tour highlights:
Hardknott Roman Fort
Gelt Woods
Bewcastle
Enjoy the remote site and spectacular views over the Eskdale Valley at Hardknott Roman Fort
Explore the atmospheric Roman quarry site hidden amongst the trees of beautiful Gelt Woods
Admire the remarkable carvings and skilled workmanship of the renowned Bewcastle Cross

Day 1 - Penrith
We meet at our hotel in Penrith in time for an early evening lecture followed by dinner together as a group.
Meals included
Day 2 - Penrith & Epiacum Fort
This morning we visit the picturesque Brougham Castle, situated beside the River Eamont a few miles east of Penrith. Brougham dates to the early 13th century but the site was used much earlier by the Romans. The Roman fort of Brocavum was stood on an escarpment above the present castle, and its stones were appropriated for use in the medieval castle structure. After lunch we visit the Roman Fort of Epiacum which controlled access along the Maiden Way, a vital strategic link connecting the frontier with the wider Roam world and possibly used to control local mining of lead and silver. Epiacum is unusual as its construction did not follow the usual 'playing card' configuration but was distorted into a rhomboid shape to suit the terrain upon which it was built.
Day 3 - Gelt Woods & Bewcastle
We drive north today to see the remarkable Roman quarry at Gelt Woods set in a deep, red sandstone ravine close to the river. Chiselled out by Roman engineers nearly 2,000 years ago, you can see the marks and chips left by the quarrymen all along the cliff face. It is here that archaeologists have been working with climbing specialists to try to preserve the rare Roman graffiti inscribed high on the cliff wall. From here we continue further north to the remote hamlet of Bewcastle where we examine the famous, intricately carved 7th or early 8th-century ross which resides in the churchyard of St. Cuthbert's Church. This is a real gem of Britain's pre- Norman heritage. All four sides of the shaft are beautifully carved in relief with human figures, animals, knotwork, interlacing, scrolls and runic inscriptions.
Day 4 - Hardknott Fort & Ravenglass
Travelling south today we visit Hardknott Fort one of the most remote and isolated posts in Roman Britain. Its setting and surrounding scenery is spectacular with sweeping views over the Eskdale Valley. At one time, Hardknott Fort (Mediobogdum) supported the fourth Cohort of Dalmatians, infantry soldiers from Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro. Living at 815ft above sea level, they guarded the Roman road between Ambleside and Ravenglass from invasion by the Scots and Brigantes. After lunch we visit Ravenglass Fort (Glannaventa) and its remarkable bath house, one of the largest surviving structures of its kind in England.
Day 5 - Ambleside & Penrith
On our final day we visit Ambleside Roman Fort (Galava) situated on the northern shores of Lake Windermere. Of particular interest here is the large size of the storage granaries which suggests that they were used to supply troops throughout the region especially as the fort's waterside position would make the loading of cargo a relatively straightforward process. Today you can clearly see the foundations of the headquarters building, commandant's house, granaries, gates and defences, all exposed by excavations in 1914-20. After a final lunch in the pretty town of Ambleside, we say our farewells, returning to Penrith for our independent onward journeys home.

Many thanks for your comprehensive report.
Brilliant, thank you. Did not expect to get a reply on a Sunday night!
Thanks for the very thorough report. We were really impressed with the detail despite the pretty depressing reading!
We would definitely like to take you up on your offer of meeting at the house to discuss the minimum needed prior to habitation and rough costs so we can start negotiations with the vendor.
Thank you for the survey and reports.
Thank you very much for the survey which will be very helpful, as will the contacts for getting quotes for the itemised work.
Meanwhile I have booked someone to look at the gutters tomorrow as having done a watering can test I think that the water might be flowing back into the gutter at that end of the porch which will not help matters. I've also booked a plumber but am less confident that the pipe knocking problem will be easily fixed from my discussion with him on the phone about possible causes.
I hope that I can come back to you with any queries raised once I have contacted the companies.
