Nature Conservancy preserves rocky wilderness near Kingston

The Nature Conservancy of Canada has purchased 119 hectares of granite ridges, wetlands, stream banks and forests in a rocky area north of Kingston known as the Frontenac Arch.
The area known as the Leland Wetlands, 25 kilometres from Kingston, will be preserved as part of the Nature Conservancy's Loughborough Wilderness, a collection of protected lands.
The Frontenac Arch is a long, rocky expanse that forms a natural north-south bridge for wildlife between two larger natural areas — Ontario's Algonquin Highlands to the north and the Adirondack and Appalachian Mountain chain to the south. Such corridors are vital for the long-term success of natural areas as they allow wildlife to move over long distances, rather than being cut off in isolated pockets.
Frontenac Arch Photo by NCC / Postmedia
The Nature Conservancy calls the Arch "one of the most important forest corridors east of the Rocky Mountains."
Its rocky outcrops also form the Thousand Islands.
The newly-purchased land has belonged for the past 40 years to a private owner, Jack Allum. He was a conservationist who worked on his own to expand the forest, restoring former farm fields by planting 20,000 native trees. After his death, the Nature Conservancy has now purchased the site from his sons.
The Frontenac Arch is one of 18 UNESCO World Biosphere Reserves in Canada. It is a place where different types of forests meet — northern Canadian Shield forests and forests from the southern fringe of Ontario, knows as the Carolinian zone. This allows it to attract a wide variety of wildlife species; the Queen's University Biological Station has recorded more than 200 bird species there.
This land conservation project had funding from the Government of Canada, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and private donors.

And that right there defines the issue: How can I continue in a relationship when there just isn't a fit? There are times and places where we need to be friends for a moment, perhaps even longer, but no one needs to be homies for the long haul. Here's the rub: We were taught from a young age that we needed to get along with one another. The problem is, there's a major difference between getting along and inviting someone in.
We joke and say that Sarah is my lobster (come on; someone gets that reference). You may even say she's my person (thanks Meredith). But not everyone is my lobster and you better believer you are not my person. And herein lies the line in the sand: there are people in your life that you need to pull full-stop. They don't fit and they don't need to be there.
I am not my children's friend; I am their father.
If you're a pastor, your job is to shepherd, not be friends. If you are a coach, you help your student athletes refine their craft, not go out for drinks after practice.
Maybe the water is a bit muddy for you. Own it. Move on.
Those you are closest to will ultimately end up influencing you. Garbage in, garbage out they say. What you put in is what comes out. So let me ask you this, "What (or who) are you putting in your life?" These are your people; your lobsters. Whether you have ever looked at it this way before or not, they are by very definition, influencing you.
There are two major filters I use that keep margin in my life for personal relationships.
I only allow those who build me up to speak into my life.
I cordially invite the toxicity to take a hike.
Just like my calendar, people are filtered.
Trust is the basis of all relationships, so those I do not have a trust-based relationship with are set aside.
I can continue to be cordial with those I do not trust, but they are get at a distance and not let in.
My wife is an amazing resource for me, as she has an uncanny ability to know people (discernment).
Allowing people to walk away respects all parties and will not prolong suffering. Now you can be you, with those you want to be you with. And because you have filtered the fluff, you have more space for those you want to "do life with".
It's one of the reasons I have always appreciate Dave Enns at North Coast Church. He's always been crystal clear that if you don't like your Life Group, you can move to another group. No hurt feelings; just not a right fit. As a Life Group leader, it hurts when people leave (this is something I need to work on – it's nothing personal). But our group is near capacity, people share on the deepest level, we laugh and cry, enjoy our fairy share of food, and know where the door is if we need it.
Find your people and fix the fluff.
It's OK to be you and just you. There is no need to present a fake persona or keep someone close that needs to be kept at bay. You can move on, and life will continue. It's healthier for you and it's better for them. Definition demands clarity in relationships. In a world of grey, some things need to be black and white. Relationships are one of those things.

Move over Mike, it's LeBron's World Now
by Doug Burr
Growing up watching Michael Jordan in his prime has made rational discussions on "Who is the greatest NBA player of all time," quite difficult for me. The discussion began and ended with Jordan. Period. No question about it. He played against the best competition and was far and away the best player on the court every night. He could score, defend, distribute, and his practice regiment was legendary. I'll admit I never saw Wilt, Russell, or West, and although I loved watching Bird, Magic, and Kareem, I always believed no one ever did what Mike could do.
No one until LeBron, that is.
They are different players, making true comparisons difficult, but the talent level is undeniably similar; so is the dominance. I wasn't always a LeBron guy. Other than his passing, I didn't love his offensive game. I thought when he tried on defense he was great, but didn't always see that on the court. He had a problem disappearing late in crucial games, and seemed to be a reluctant shooter in the clutch. And "The Decision" doesn't even need discussion, other than to say we do all tend to overlook the money he raised for children.
But recently, something has changed for me. Watching the overall level of play deteriorate in the NBA, LeBron has become a breath of fresh air. His scoring is much improved, his patience is something that should be continually commended, his passing is as good as ever, and he is finally a leader. But these aren't the main reasons I'm ready to hand the torch over. What impresses me is his night in, night out, commitment to his team and his defense. He guards the best player on the court, regardless of position. He'll guard D Rose and Jimmy Butler, then switch to Gasol late if needed. Anthony Davis, check. Durant check. Westbrook check. He's guarded everyone, when it matters, and he locks people down. No one ever, could guard every position. Not Jordan, not Magic, not Rodman, not Pippen, and not Kobe.
The beauty of LeBron is that he averages roughly 25/6/7 per year while doing all this. He has played the last few years of his career with unbelievable supporting casts, and he has found a way to make them better as well. To me, there is no longer a question of who the most talented player of all time is. He doesn't yet have the total number of titles, he hasn't stuffed the scoring stats as much as Mike, but his presence as part of the team, is flat out better. He's tougher to defend, impossible to score against, and a threat both with an without the ball. For me, it's quite simple. I've never seen anyone do what LeBron can do. That's what I used to say about Mike, even before the titles, and now I realize that's my measure of the GOAT.
*Note: With only one shot to win, I still take Jordan over anyone (can't give that up yet!)
Back to The World According to Doug


Quick, get in your time machine and set the dial to "1999." When you arrive, seek out your teenage self (perhaps playing Dungeons & Dragons in a basement) and explain that one day in the future a burlesque show based on Buffy the Vampire Slayer won't just be a fever dream.
On February 7, Peepshow Menagerie and Lusty Kitten Productions—a purveyor of themed burlesque shows that cover everything from David Lynch movies to naughty takes on Disney characters—host Across the Whedonverse: A Burlesque Tribute to Director Joss Whedon at Fais Do Do in West Adams. Whedon, whose recent work includes writing and directing Marvel's The Avengers, hit it big in the late '90s with a TV show about teenage angst, abusive boyfriends, and killing lots and lots of vampires, demons, and the occasional demi-god. Although Buffy the Vampire Slayer is widely regarded as Whedon's magnum opus (thus far), he's also responsible for Angel, Serenity, Cabin in the Woods, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, an oeuvre that has spawned one of fandom's most devoted and vibrant communities.
In addition to the promise of costumed burlesque, Across the Whedonverse will also offer some of the traditional mainstays of fan conventions such as merch vendors, fan art exhibitions, and costume prizes, not to mention a special appearance by comic book artist Georges Jeanty, who has worked on several Whedon adaptations.
Before you put on your Spike outfit (which can double as a Billy Idol costume for Halloween), check three of Whedon's creations that don't get enough attention.
This fan-favorite cult TV show, which ran on Fox for just one season in 2002, follows the travails of a band of intergalactic smugglers in the year 2517. In addition to Whedon's trademark snappy dialogue, the show features strong performances from scifi mainstays Nathan Fillon and Summer Glau. The 2005 film adaptation, Serenity, featured a chilling turn from Chiwetel Ejiofor, nominated for an Academy Award this year for his performance in 12 Years A Slave.
Almost as if he had been eavesdropping on his fans' fevered conversation, Whedon cast Buffy alum Eliza Dushku as Echo, a body-for-hire whose memory is wiped between assignments. While the show only ran for two seasons on Fox, it has enjoyed a long afterlife in the Whedonverse, generating a veritable Beinecke Library of fan fiction.
This black-and-white adaptation of one of the Bard's most beloved romantic comedies might seem like an odd choice for Whedon, but the film received almost unanimous praise from critics upon its 2012 release. Featuring a cast of largely unknown young actors (alongside some of the filmmaker's favorite playes), Whedon's take on Shakespeare's comedy of courtship was shot at the director's Santa Monica home. The marriage of Hero and Claudio has nothing on the wacky buddy comedy we're hoping this project will generate in fan fic form: Joss & Bill's Excellent Adventure!


Are You Facing SQL Server Page Level Corruption Error?
SQL Server contain it's all data in Primary File, which are also known as MDF file. Every MDF file contains all primary information inside of its equal sized (8182 Bytes) pages. Each page of SQL server consist three sections- Header, body and slot array. When any information becomes changed from any part of page via hardware failure, in that case user will unable to open that page of file. This is called SQL Server page level corruption which may occur due to several reasons.
Therefore, in today's article we are going to fix page level errors of any database. For this we will create a new database and after that we will corrupt it. When corrupted database show us error then we will solve it through various manual and alternate methods.
Now, we are creating a new database in SQL server and the name of database is 'Test'. For creating database with Create database statement, then we are creating a table Example and inserting few records in this table.
When database 'Test' is created successfully, we are setting database offline to perform page level corruption task in that database.
By using above mentioned command our database will become offline and when we will refresh database folder, 'Test' database will displayed in red coloured icon. It is so because we are making some changes in database to make it corrupt.
We cannot make any changes in database, when it is online. It is so because the SQL Server will not allow us to make any permanent changes in online mode of database. So, for making changes in database we are setting it in offline mode. Now, we are opening the database file test.mdf via hex-editor and making some changes in Strings of it and then Saving the changes.
After making string changes we are again setting database in online mode to check whether the database is accessible or not.
There could be several reasons for this error message. Users must know about causes of page level errors because when they have idea about root cause of problem, then only they can try to fix them. Therefore, following are the causes may responsible for that error message.
Now point comes that how to resolve this error message. For solving this error, there are some manual methods, which are in-built commands of Microsoft and other are third party tools. Here we are describing both methods, now let's discuss about both techniques.
In this section we will show you how to use built-in command to fix SQL Server page level corruption.
DBBC CHECKDB command is mostly used and well-known command to fix page level corruption. This built-in repair utility operates systematic data integrity and identifies areas of concern. This command has three options of recovery-REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS, REPAIR_FAST and REPAIR_REBUILD. Here REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS is most risky command to use.
Note: Use REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS command only at last resort because the command recover either whole data or loss all data. Therefore, it is highly recommended this at last.
Check suspect pages of table presented in database, in which error 824 is showing on.
Now check the state of SQL server database consistency by using DBBC CHECKDB command.
Use PAGE_VERIFY CHECKSUM option, if page is not activated already.
Stop all operations of SQL server. After that Copy corrupted Server database and Save it into a new memory allocation.
Open SQL Server again and Create a blank SQL database with same name.
Now, separate this new database from its original database.
If user execute above query then, maybe there are no anomalies with the data. The data is successfully recovered now, by following above steps.
If user have maintained the recent backup of the corrupted database then they can restore the database from the backup file. If you don't have any recent backup of data then you cannot recover their database via this method.
Keep database Online and execute following query for restoring data from backup.
These statements will succeed without any Input /Output errors and user will get all his data recovered without loosing of any information.
Restoring database from backup is a good option only when, if you have already taken a recent backup of your database. Now, when manual methods are not able to recover user's data then one can go with SQL Recovery Software, which is an alternate option to recover all data from a corrupted database file of SQL Server without any hassle.
In this blog, we discussed about how to recover corrupted data of MDF files by various methods. Manual methods have possibilities of data recovery and also could make a permanent data loss, we can't apply those methods without any recent backup. Therefore, for recovering all data back, users can also try Third party application. It is an option to fix database from corruption.
I'm a SQL Server DBA. I love to explore my knowledge about SQL Server database ( stored procedures, functions, and troubleshooting) and have experience with database administration (installing, configuring, maintenance, transaction log shipping, replication, database mirroring etc) also I like to write blogs about these technologies.

Today I drove Goldie—my 1969 MGB—to work. Yes, she runs again! Below is an e-mail excerpt marking the occasion.
Last night on my birthday I got Goldie running (don't know if I mentioned it, but in April 2001 the engine blew, so in my free time this year I pulled the engine, got it rebuilt, then put it back in myself and finished last night). Then I drove her on the streets of Fremont for the first time in 14 months. What a b'day present!

HOME MOWERS ARGOs LAWN EQUIPMENT LAWN CARE PRODUCTS PARTS/SERVICES DIRECTIONS/CONTACT
RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL GOLF ELECTRIC
Hustler Turf Equipment was born of a simple need - a mower that would maneuver the irregular landscape of the family home - complete with bird baths, gardens, and winding front walkways. The first Hustler was a compilation of mower parts and farm machinery, created by a genius named John Regier. Mr. Regier's mower cut grass and steered like no other. It could hug a flag pole or reverse directions at a fence line, with a turning radius of zero. With this, the world's first zero-turn mower was born.
And it changed everything.
When Mr. Regier brought his design to tractor cab manufacturer Excel Industries, the timing was perfect. He couldn't maintain production alone, and Excel was looking to expand its product line. When the folks at Excel saw the mower in action, they knew they had a product that would revolutionize the mowing industry. Under the direction of company president Roy Mullet, Excel began production of Hustler mowers at its plant in Hesston, Kansas.
Since then, Hustler has become one of the leading turf care brands in the world. Across the globe, the Hustler brand signifies innovation, quality and superior customer care. In addition to manufacturing the best-in-class mowers, Hustler is committed to providing a quality owner experience. The mission is to provide the most dependable, useful, and time-saving products in turf care, while providing unmatched customer loyalty and the best warranty in the business. As an experienced Hustler dealer we are always ready to answer questions and provide expert service to every customer.
By continually evolving the Hustler line, the company has grown from humble beginnings to a leader in the industry. Hustler mowers undergo regular re-designs and improvements under the guidance of innovative Excel engineers, always living up to the highest Hustler standards. With every mower the goal remains the same - to provide customers with a dependable mower that will help them complete more work in less time.
Innovation and quality.
That's how Hustler changed everything.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A citizens' panel said Tuesday that Indiana's Supreme Court should discipline the state's attorney general over allegations he drunkenly groped a lawmaker and three legislative staffers at a bar.
The commission's complaint says Hill violated state rules by touching the four women — Democratic state Rep. Mara Candelaria Reardon; Niki DaSilva, a legislative assistant for the Indiana Senate Republican Caucus; Gabrielle McLemore, the Indiana Senate Democrats' communications director; and Samantha Lozano, a legislative assistant for Indiana House Democrats. All the women have gone public with the allegations.
The General Assembly can impeach and remove a public official from office with a two-thirds vote in both houses, but it's unclear whether that would apply to Hill because the attorney general isn't specifically listed in the Indiana Constitution as a "state officer" — unlike secretary of state, auditor and treasurer.

The original Dubbo Macquarie football team played Rugby Union in long pants
The original Dubbo Macquarie football team played rugby union in long pants, but according to "Telly" Samuels, who was a member of the team, they would have put it up to the present day Macquarie league boys.
Another old supporter of the team, Mr Haold Taylor, whose brother George was also in the team, assisted in identifying the players for present day rugby union coach Wally Kin.
"Telly" Samuels is the only known surviving member of that team and still lives in Dubbo.
He can recall the feats of the side in which he played as a youth 67 years ago.
He and Harold Taylor identified all of the players in the team for us with the exception of one player, whom neither could recall.
In the back row of the picture (published above) are shown the club secretary Billy Tank on the left and the Team coach Ernie Howe on the right.
Billy Tink was a member of the well known Tink family of Dubbo and Ernie Howe worked in the Dubbo Lands Office for some years but was later transferred.
Second from the left in Tom Tourle who worked in the Commercial Bank and was the father of Miss Jess Tourle of Dubbo.
Next to Tom Tourle is George Rich, a plumber whose decendants are thought to still be in Dubbo.
Harold Taylor's brother George is the tall player in the white cap.
The captain of the team, holding the ball was Jack Hives a noted sportsman of the day and a member of theHayes family who owned the cordial factory.
Dick Baird is next in line. He was a grazier who later went to the Boer War and was wounded, returning with a stiff leg and played no more football.
"Telly" Samueld, the only known surviving member of the team, now aged 90 os the father of Dubbo solicitor Bert Samuels.
Another member of a well known Dubbo family was Alf Wheeler, next to Samuels, the father of well known grazier Gordon Wheeler who first bought the old photograph to Wally King.
In the front line on the left is Bob Craig about whom we could find out nothing except that he was a very fine footballer.
Then "Bollie" Frawley another about whom little is known.
The third player is a "mystery man" - we cannot find his name.
Fourth from the left is Art Wheeler, brother of Alf and next to him Martin who was a local carrier.
Then comes one of the most noted sportsman of the team Neil Hives, who was a brother of the skipper and known as the top cricketer and footballer of the town.
With the cross on the front of his jersey is Angus Samuels, a brother of "Telly" and ob the right another about whom only his name is known - R. O'Connor.
Was this the first football team or were there others before it?

Irv Gordon dies; LIer who gained fame for his 3 million-mile Volvo was 78
"If a car can have a soul, this car has a soul," the so-called patron saint of Volvo told Newsday about his reliable 1966 Volvo P1800.

By Rachelle Blidner rachelle.blidner@newsday.com @rachelleblidner Updated November 21, 2018 6:55 PM
Irv Gordon, a lifelong East Patchogue resident who set world records and traveled more than 3 million miles behind the wheel of his cherry-red 1966 Volvo, has died.
Gordon traversed the country and the world in his Volvo P1800, which became a part of him and gave him a unique outlet to travel and make friends, his daughter Danielle Gordon said.
"He was a person who needed to be free and who needed to just be out on the road," said Gordon, 41.
Irv Gordon collapsed Thursday while traveling in a remote, mountainous region of China for promotional work with Volvo Cars, Danielle Gordon said. He is believed to have died of a heart attack just hours after messaging his daughter that he was "having one of the best times of his life." He was 78.
Irvin Gordon was born in July 1940 to Henry and Emma Gordon. He graduated from a Massachusetts college, which Danielle Gordon declined to name citing security concerns over his valuable car. He worked as a science teacher at Roslyn Middle School from 1962 until he retired in 1999.
Gordon purchased the Volvo for $4,150 on June 30, 1966. In the first two days, he drove 1,500 miles. He continued adding to the odometer with his daily commute to Roslyn. In 1987, it became the fourth car to pass the million-mile mark. Eleven years later, he broke the Guinness World Record for "highest certified mileage driven by the original owner in noncommercial service" with 1.696 million miles. He reached 2 million miles in Times Square in 2002 and 3 million miles in Alaska in 2013.
"If a car can have a soul, this car has a soul," Gordon told Newsday in 2002, one of many media interviews he did over the years.
The so-called patron saint of Volvo eventually drove 3.4 million miles — enough to circumnavigate the globe about 120 times, according to Guinness World Records. He traveled to 49 states and became a "walking tour guide of an entire map of the United States," his daughter said.

"Irv never set out to break world records, to him, he was simply living his life in his Volvo," Volvo Car USA said in a statement.
Gordon regularly checked the car, which he did not let anyone else drive. His engine was rebuilt twice, and his car had been hit at least four times.
"Why would you get rid of a car that starts every time you hit the starter, takes you where you want to go and never gives you any grief?" he told Newsday in 2011.
Even with his love for driving, he had other feelings about Long Island roads and traffic: He called the Long Island Expressway "the largest parking lot in the world," his daughter said.
Danielle Gordon said she drove the famed car, with the license plate MILNMILR, for the first time after Gordon's death to move it to a secure location. But the key broke off in the ignition, and the car somehow got locked from the inside while empty on a flatbed truck.
"We were all laughing," she said. "It was like, oh my God, my dad is here and he's saying, 'Don't touch it.'"
Danielle Gordon said she plans to put the car on display. But because "that car really is my dad," she said she is "really not ready to let it go right now." She said she is going to "take a drive with my dad and his car" this week before she returns to Rosario, Argentina, where she works as a psychiatrist.
Gordon, who was divorced, is survived by his daughters, Danielle Gordon and Amy Sircusano, of Maryland, and three granddaughters: Elizabeth, Lucia and Isabella.
Gordon, also remembered for his boisterous laugh, warm personality, sense of humor and thoughtfulness, will be cremated. Services will be set after his remains are returned from China.
"I'm having fun," he said in 2002. "Now it's just a challenge to see how far it will go."

Buck Ringgold: New 'Ranger Dome' a welcome sight in basketball-crazy Roland

ROLAND — Traveling to Roland High School on Roland Road off of U.S. Highway 64, you will eventually cross a bridge going over Interstate 40.
Once you go over that bridge, you'll see something off to the left that initially seems to be out of place in this community of more than 3,000 located a few miles west from Fort Smith, Ark. But for these residents here, it's perhaps a welcome sight.
It's the top of a domed structure, and when you get closer into view, it's part of a gleaming new facility on the Roland High School campus. Originally called the Roland Event Center, it's now commonly known as the Ranger Dome, named after the school's mascot.
The Ranger Dome is a brand-new, $6 million dollar facility that's more than 20,000 square feet. It took 19 months to build, starting in March 2020 and finally being completed this past October.
Seating capacity is 1,396. Then the dome itself is 150 feet in diameter and 45 feet, eight inches in height.
It's also a big step up from the school's former basketball facility, Carl Matlock Field House, which was built in the 1970s and was known for its tight, cramped quarters.
The old gym was one of those places where seating could definitely be limited, especially when archrivals such as Muldrow and Sallisaw came to town. There were even times where spectators had to walk in front of both teams' benches to find a seat.
But that's not the case in the Ranger Dome. Fans can now get to traverse a vast concrete walkway behind each team's benches to find seats. And there's plenty of places to sit.
You can find a chair-back seat on each side of the court. Or you can walk up into the bleachers behind both baskets. In fact, during Roland games now, the student section has staked its claim to one set of bleachers.
The Ranger Dome finally opened up for basketball last week, appropriately enough, with the facility being the main site for the Armstrong Bank Sequoyah County Area Classic. Since the tournament was formed in 2000, it rotated each year between Muldrow and Sallisaw, though Muldrow hosted it last season for the second straight year due to COVID-19 issues at Sallisaw.
But finally, with the Ranger Dome open for business, Roland administrators wanted to be in the mix to host the county tournament.
"We were excited to get to do that," Roland superintendent Randy Martin said. "Our staff and our fans were really wanting to host the tournament that we've played in for a lot of years, and to finally get to be the main site, it was a big deal to us, so we were really thrilled to be that main site this year."
And fans, not just Roland fans, responded once the new venue was finally able to hold basketball games.
"A lot of (feedback) what I hear is the space and the seating areas," Martin said. "It was a big deal and kind of comparing it to our old facility, it is quite a bit more. Then just the traffic flow of the walkways, where people are not stepping all over each other, it's just a good-sized facility in that way."
Greg Pratt, Roland's girls basketball coach, observed he has heard more wows from the fans over the new place than even from his players.
"There's not a bad seat in the house," Pratt said. "That's the thing that I've noticed, that the fans and people like that, they are so excited to be able to come to the ballgame and be able to sit in a facility like this.
"And what I like, too, is we've got people off the court; whereas in the old gym, people were right on the court, but when you're up there, it still doesn't feel like you're extremely far away from the action. So I think that was a good design, so people still feel close to the action because people like that."
Roland's locker rooms are located on opposite ends of the court, and to reach those, one has to walk a curved hallway.
Not surprisingly, the locker rooms have been upgraded from the old gym, complete with a trainer's table and a game clock on the wall which is synchronized with the clock on the scoreboard, letting both the Rangers and Lady Rangers know when it's time to return to the court.
"It's honestly real crazy going from that small gym we used to have, and now we've got all this big stuff, like our student section's crazy now," said Tuvaris Noonan, a senior on the Roland boys team. "In the old gym, it was just tiny, and now we can fit the whole town in here."
Another unique feature of the Ranger Dome is the building's acoustics. With the domed design, the noise circulates all around the building, and it has already been proven it can get really loud in there.
"It's very loud," said Racheal Watie, a senior on the Roland girls team. "I think it's a good atmosphere to play in because if we get going and we get farther down the road and make it to state maybe, it's like here it's very loud and it's going to be like you're playing in an area or regional tournament.
"I think we get a bigger crowd. It was tight, really hot in the other gym, but we get a bigger crowd here."
Even Eddie Lewis, a Roland native who has won more than 700 games in 40 years as the Rangers' coach, was on board with the move to the dome.
"It was really hard to leave the old gym, but really, I had some really good players, and I guess it don't really matter what gym you're in, if you've got good players, they perform, and I've been real fortunate here at Roland to have some really good players throughout the years," said Lewis, also the school's athletics director.
That's another thing that stands out about Roland: It's long been considered one of the premier basketball towns in the state. Lewis has taken 10 teams to the state tournament, and the Rangers were a state runner-up in both 2007 and again in 2013.
Lewis also had the top-ranked team in the state in 2020 when the Rangers qualified for the state tournament. But of course, that tournament never took place due to COVID-19.
Roland's girls have also fielded solid teams over the years. Pratt has taken the Lady Rangers to state in two of the past three seasons, including 2021 when Roland took an undefeated record into the tourney before falling to Jones in the 3A title game.
With Roland, who had been in 4A during the 2000s and the first half of the 2010s before dropping down to 3A, having an arena to fit the capacity of the school and the town was another consideration to take.
"I've heard people talk about, when this was first built, they talked about, 'Man, I thought it was going to be bigger,'" Pratt said. "We don't need it any bigger. If we start getting it too big, then we're never going to fill the thing up and the atmosphere that you want in a high school basketball game's not going to be there.
"This fits us, this is perfect for us. … That's plenty for 3A Roland."
The Ranger Dome will not just be used for basketball. It will be used for other activities, and will also be a community-wide tornado shelter, another selling point in the bond to build the facility eventually getting passed a few years ago after various other proposals over the years were eventually voted down.
"The tradition itself that Roland has in basketball, I think, maybe made everybody want to hang on to the old gym," Martin said. "There's a little nostalgia associated with it and there had been so many good memories there.
"I think people finally realized that it was just kind of time to move on, and the storm shelter aspect and part of the bond issue also, we were able to do a lot of repairs on campus. I think the patrons of the school district wanted to see those classroom buildings taken care of, too, so getting all of that done I think made it a more viable project."
Roland's new arena also coincides with a recent building boom of awe-inspiring basketball arenas in the area.
Across the Arkansas River into Fort Smith, the two rival high schools, Northside and Southside, have opened up arenas of its own this school year. Arenas in the nearby towns of Van Buren and Alma have also been built in the past several years to rave reviews.
Spiro, a conference rival of both Roland and Muldrow, opened up its basketball arena in 2009 and has been notable for serving many years as the site of the finals of the LeFlore County Tournament, the longest continuously operating basketball tournament in Oklahoma. Another conference opponent, Checotah, also has a fairly new arena that has become a popular place to hold postseason regional and area tournaments.
Once the Ranger Dome was finally open for business, everything went off smoothly last week. But alas, for both home teams, they weren't able to win the county tournament.
Instead, that honor went to both the boys and girls teams at Muldrow, just a few miles farther down Hwy. 64 from Roland. Muldrow fans also came out in full force for the arena's debut, and even had its own rowdy student section to match the Roland students in the title games held last Saturday.
"It's really nice; to be able to come over and play the first county tournament in it, it makes it special," said Jana Armer, who has been Muldrow's girls coach since 2000. "It's definitely something to be proud of."
And that pride is rising just as high as the top of the dome one sees when heading to see a basketball game being played in Roland these days.

Division of Special Piano
This Division stood at the cradle of the Belarusian State Conservatoire and made an essential contribution into the formation of the Belarusian performance school. The creative image of the Division formed under the influence of the Moscow and St. Petersburg piano schools. The formation and development of the national piano school is linked with the names of M. Berger, G. Shershevsky, I. Tsvetayeva, V. Epstein, E. Alterman, V. Shatsky.
Currently, talented pedagogues are fruitfully working at the Division, among them are Honoured Workers of Arts of Belarus, Professors of the Division V. Nekhayenko, L. Shelomentseva, Professor L. Yushkevich, Z. Kаcharskaya, L. Ter-Minasyan, Assistant Professors V. Doulov (Head of the Division), T. Volodsko, A. Khimchenko, S. Mikulik, N. Gromova, Senior Teachers M. Rusakova, E. Vashkevich. For many years among the most successful teachers of the Division are well-known performers of the country, the soloist of the Belarusian State Philharmonic Society, People's Artist of Belarus, State Prize Laureate of Belarus, author of multiple transcripts for the piano, Professor I. Olovnikov, Art Director of the Belarusian State Philharmonic Society, Honoured Artist of Belarus, Professor of the Division Yu. Guildyuk and others.
The high professional level of Professors and teachers allowed to prepare a number of talented young pianists for participation in international competitions. Among them are the winners of first prizes of international competitions in the USA, Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, Russia, performers, well-known in the country and abroad A. Sikorsky, Y. Blinov, A. Ponochevny, I. Serguey, K. Krasnitsky, A. Mouzykantov, V. Netouk, P. Koschevo, M. Irgalina, piano duet of A. Getmanova and A. Poznyakova and others. The Division has prepared a total of 50 laureates of international competitions. An evidence of high international recognition of the national piano school became the victories of pianists Andrey Ponochevny at the International Competition named after P. Tchaikovsky (Moscow, 2002, 3 Prize) and Konstantin Krasnitsky at the International Competition named after S. Rakhmaninov (Moscow, 2002, 4 Prize). Thanks to creative achievements of young Belarusian pianists, it became possible to hold in Belarus a number of huge "Minsk-96", "Minsk-2000", "Minsk-2005", "Minsk-2010", whose winners became A. Sikorsky, A. Mouzykantov, T. Scherbakov, V. Shatskaya.
An evidence of international recognition of the Belarusian piano school was inclusion of the Belarusian Public Association of Piano Teachers, whose founder and President is Professor V. Yakonyuk, and Vice-Presidents – V. Olovnikov and V. Nekhayenko into the European Piano Teachers Association (EPTA).

Turn the Repair Service on. It immediately activates the Repair Service and opens the Status tab.
If you are elsewhere in the monitoring application and the Repair Service is already activated, click Details for the Repair Service. The Repair Status tab displays full details for repair processes.
Tip: Information to fully understand all aspects of repair status are readily available from within the Repair Status tab. Hover over areas of the Status page to view inline information. Click tooltip icons to access short descriptions about an item. Click the Read more links to access the relevant Repair Service documentation.
When the Repair Service is actively processing repairs, the Repair Service Status indicates Active. The progress graphics and statistics reflect real-time measurements of repairs.
The Repair Service Status appears Paused in response to cluster or schema change events.
The repair process performs validation compaction and streams data to and from other nodes in the cluster when synchronizing replicas. Those activities when active are visible in their respective panes.
Indicates whether the Repair Service Status is Active or Paused.
The progress and statistics pane displays progress bars for subrange and incremental repairs. A pie chart represents Completed, In Progress, and Failed repair tasks thus far. Remaining tasks are not represented in the pie chart; they are represented in the progress bars. The remaining time until the incremental and subrange repairs are completed is indicated underneath each respective progress bar.
Note: The Total Repairs value represents the number and percentage of the grand total of repair tasks for the current repair cycle. Repair tasks for each category's count can represent an aggregate of the tasks shown in the Table Repair Tasks pane. Repair tasks in a particular category might not equal the total number of tasks displayed in the Table Repair Tasks pane because multiple tables might be aggregated into a single repair task. The number of tasks in the Table Repair Tasks pane are displayed and counted in all rows for tables within the range of a repair task.
The Validation Compactions pane displays the progress of any validation compactions per node for both incremental and subrange repairs. In the absence of compaction activity, the No active validation compactions status is displayed.
Note: If repairs are configured for Running validation compaction sequentially, compaction progress is considerably slower, impacting both subrange and incremental repairs.
A validation compaction reads and generates a hash for every row in the stored tables, adds the result to a Merkle tree, and returns the tree to the initiating node as part of the underlying Merkle tree comparison process.
The Streams pane displays an aggregate of streaming activity progress per node. The streams could be comprised of hundreds of files. When actively streaming data, the nodes from which the streams originate and their target node are shown along with progress bars for each node receiving streamed replica data. Otherwise, the No active streams status is displayed.
View keyspaces and tables excluded from repairs, grouped by the exclusion criteria.
View details of repair tasks at the individual table level. Click a row to view repair task details isolated per keyspace table in the Repair Tasks for keyspace.table dialog.
Each column is sortable. Click a column heading to sort its column contents. The Status column provides visual status indicators along with a summary of completed, running, or pending repair tasks. Any task with errors displays a red explanation point.
The Total Attempts column indicates how many attempts (retries) the repair service has made before temporarily skipping the task. The skipped task is added to the end of the queue to retry later. The default maximum is 10 attempts. When that maximum is reached, an alert is fired and the Repair Service abandons any further repair attempts for that task. In the above graphic, 0/10 indicates all repair tasks completed without the need for any retry attempts. Configure the maximum attempts with the single_task_err_threshold option.
Incremental repair tables are opted in for repair as mentioned in the incremental repairs overview. There are a few OpsCenter keyspace tables that are hard-coded for incremental repairs: OpsCenter.backup_reports and OpsCenter.settings tables. The incremental tooltip flags these as special tables and provides a link to documentation to configure additional tables or datacenters to include in incremental repairs. Any tables configured by OpsCenter admins appear in the tasks pane sans the tooltip.
Incremental repairs have their own threshold setting for alerting about failed repair tasks. The default is 20. Configure with the incremental_err_alert_threshold option.
Excluding keyspaces and tables from unnecessary repairs makes repair processes more focused, efficient, and faster with less workload impact on DSE clusters.
A link is available above the Table Repair Tasks pane for viewing keyspaces and tables excluded from subrange repairs. Click the View excluded tables link. The Excluded Keyspaces and Tables dialog displays the keyspaces excluded due to RF=1, system keyspaces, reserved tables, or those specifically configured for subrange repairs to ignore.
Note: If using authentication, be sure to change the replication strategy and replication factor for the dse_security and system_auth keyspaces so that those keyspaces are included in repairs. See Managing keyspaces and tables.
Click any row of the Table Repair Tasks pane to view more details about a particular task.
The Repair Tasks for keyspace.table dialog provides details for the number of Succeeded, Failed, Running, Pending, and Aborted repair tasks for each repair-eligible table in a keyspace. The Average Repair Time and number of Attempts (configurable) for the repair task are also shown.


Brief description The advent of "big data" in business, government, science, social networks, the internet, etc. creates opportunity in business and commercial domains. Big data also raises issues of increasing volume, variety, dimensionality and categories in open domain big data applications, which this project will solve by developing novel machine learning techniques, including theoretical foundations, a big data machine learning framework and open source website. The outcomes of this project will provide frontier technologies for big data analysis that will have social and economic impact in such areas as social media computing, bioinformatics and business intelligence, and enhance Australia's global position in the pattern recognition and data mining communities.

BJP's Go-To Man Piyush Goyal Retains Cabinet Post
From the BJP's treasurer to its go-to man who has held coal, power, railways and finance portfolios, 54-year-old Piyush Goyal's rise has been phenomenal.
A chartered accountant by profession, Mr Goyal, known for his corporate network developed during his days as an investment banker, is considered to be a key backroom strategist who played a significant role in resource mobilisation of the party.
Considered a blue-eyed boy of both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah, Mr Goyal was given the finance portfolio in May last year which he held till August, while Arun Jaitley was recuperating from a kidney transplant.
He was again handed over the charges of the Finance Ministry in January this year, when Mr Jaitley fell ill and presented the Interim Budget in Parliament.
Political observers say the Bharatiya Janata Party, which has not appointed another treasurer after Mr Goyal, depends on him to raise funds for the party.
Known to work with a team of around 20 trusted advisors, mostly graduates of top business schools, Mr Goyal has facts, figures, spreadsheets on the activities of his ministry at his disposal at all times. In fact, most of his public engagements through the day are streamed live on Twitter by his team.
As a railway minister, Mr Goyal, a Rajya Sabha member, achieved several firsts — it was during his tenure the government announced its first bullet train which would run from Mumbai to Ahmedabad, the prime minister's home state, manufactured its first indigenously-built and engine-less high-speed train Vande Bharat Express, commissioned its longest bridge, converted a diesel loco into an electric one for the first time, built its first transport university, its first air-conditioned local train and perhaps its biggest first in last three decades – lowest accident figures.
He is also credited for making transformational changes in India's power sector, including fast tracking of electrification of nearly 18,000 unelectrified villages, roll out of UDAY, a comprehensive reform of the power sector, world's largest LED bulb distribution programme, UJALA for energy efficiency and a massive renewable energy expansion programme.
Mr Goyal, a technology buff, has also taken the initiative of digitising governance which he says brings transparency in the government — from e-auction of coal blocks to free WiFi across railway stations and live feed for passengers of how railway meals are cooked and packed — as a minister he has taken strides in using technology to simplify working of the ministries under him.
From an illustrious political family, his father Vedprakash Goyal was former Union minister of Shipping, and National Treasurer of the BJP for over two decades and his mother Chandrakanta Goyal was a three time MLA from Mumbai.

The press was first implemented in the time of Nebuchadnezzar I, though in a primitive manner involving figs, granite, and several thousand willing slaves. Press technology remained stagnant until just last year, when the members of an organization that soon thereafter disbanded to become members of our organization discovered that similar results could be realized by hiring a licensed contractor.
Should you wish to distribute using our logo, brand, method, or general capacitance, please be advised that nothing short of total nuclear devastation will enshrine upon the public what could be the greatest idea ever written: that only the best, the brightest, and the slightly overripe can be sufficient to equal that which has yet to be come and gone. That said, it is our preference that all references to Open Republic be prefixed by "Best Physical Therapy NYC". This keeps us feeling proud of our organization and that pride in turn allows us to continue what we do. While physical therapy is not actually something we do here, we all suffer from various ailments and over the years have had to keep them in check. Therefore if we at the Republic would be so bold as to take on the most precious of patients – our own selves – then that makes us more than qualified to see others. Please ensure this single guideline is met.
Understand this is not a place for truth, nor is it a place for lies. The Republic exists in a state that is and just is or simply is. The word of the Republic stands and shall continue to stand. You may as well sell your belongings now, throw it all away, burn what you have, and do not forget that therapy is a powerful tool.
In advocacy there is gathering. Find the lost thread, pick it up, and dispose of it in the proper colored receptacle at your earliest convenience. Mission control, over and out.
