These rules are subject to the sole interpretation, application, and discretion of the Tournament Chairman, after consultation with the Rules Committee.
This is a catch and release tournament and does not require that any fish be killed in order for an angler to accumulate points. Each team must come equipped with a digital camera, and will be provided with measuring options at the Captain's Reception. The tournament is broken into two divisions, Guided Teams (Up to 3 Anglers plus Guide), Unguided Teams (Up to 4 Anglers).  For Unguided Teams, the tournament begins immediately upon the first team's Registration at River Palm Cottages on September 29, 2017  (Registration begins at 4:00 p.m.).   For Guided Teams, the tournament begins with lines in at 5:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 30, 2017.
All Fish complete with a photo must be logged  into the Michael Shields Memorial IAngler Tournament Page/App by no later than 3 p.m. on September 30, 2017.  Officials from the Rules Committee will be present at River Palm Cottages, between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. on September 30, 2017 to assist anglers who need help logging their fish and uploading their photos.
For Unguided Teams, there are no restrictions as to fishing locations, or means of getting there. Unguided Anglers may fish from a boat, shore, or anything in between. All team members must be within either sight or shouting distance of each other without the use of technology.
For Guided Teams, the mosquito ditches are out of bounds.  The Guide is considered the captain of the team, and may fish, if the team chooses.
All anglers must abide by all local, State and Federal Rules and licensing restrictions on fishing for game fish with hook and line.
Anglers will target Snook, Tarpon, Redfish and Trout. Each fish will be measured by its Total Length. Total Length is defined as: the distance from the most forward point of the fish's head to the hindmost point of the tail.
Each angler bucket will include a program and a sticker measuring tape.  Anglers may also choose to use their own measuring device, subject to inspection upon request by the Rules Committee.   All photographs of fish measured shall include a copy of the 2017 Tournament Program.  Any fish that is too big to be removed from the water may be measured through use of the Iangler Tournament Scoring App.  To do this, make sure that the entire fish is visible in the photograph.  Lay the program on the fish's body with the back outside cover facing up, so that the measuring line on the program can be seen in the photograph.  That's it!  The App administrators will measure from there, and add the points to your score.
Snook caught on natural bait will be awarded 2 points per inch. Any tarpon caught on natural bait will be awarded 1 point per inch.  All tarpon must remain in the water at all times during measurement.  Redfish and Trout caught on natural bait will be awarded 1 point per inch. Additional points will be awarded for catches on artificial baits and for filling the scorecard as set forth in the chart below.  Scorecards should reflect the actual length of each fish to the half inch.
Each Team must be registered with the Michael Shields Memorial IAngler Tournament Page/App prior to commencing.  Officials from the Rules Committee will be present at the Captains Reception from 4:00 p.m. until 9 p.m. to assist in registering teams and anglers.  Each team should log every fish caught, however only the top three scoring fish will be scored per species. Teams must photograph each scored fish on the team's digital camera next to the Tournament Program and tape measure (see measuring above).
Failure to include the tournament program in the picture may lead to disqualifying the fish, at the sole discretion of the tournament chairman.  Should you wish to utilize your own measuring device, it is subject to inspection at the discretion of the tournament chairman.  The photos shall be uploaded to the Michael Shields IAngler Tournament App/Page by 3 p.m., as 3 p.m. on September 30, 2017 is the absolute deadline. After 3 p.m., the rules committee will validate the team's entries and apply the bonus points where appropriate as set forth below.  Any submissions after 3 p.m. may be disqualified or incur a point reduction, at the sole discretion of the tournament chairman after consultation with the rules committee. Any technical difficulties with digital equipment will be dealt with on a case by case basis by the tournament chairman after consultation with the rules committee.   In the event of a tie, the Rules Committee will re-measure each fish utilizing the Iangler Tournament measuring device to attempt to ascertain a more precise measurement.  If there is still a tie the winner will be the first to log all of their fish.  If there is a tie for the largest of a species, the fish logged closest to the angler start time wins.  Cheaters will be disqualified and subjected to public stoning, and shall wear a t-shirt that clearly states: I cheated at a charity fishing tournament.
Mystery Fish – Don't forget to log all your catches!!!!
How is this data used?


So as any Warhammer fans have no doubt grown accustomed to, the tradition of games based on the legendary tabletop gaming franchise will continue for many years to come. We know this because Focus Home Interactive and Games Workshop, and many other developers and IP holders, recently inked a deal to extend a long-term licensing setup between the two companies, including at least 12 more games. At least that much os confirmed via a Twitter announcement from Focus Home Interactive.
The team over at Focus is partnering with Games Workshop to create a ton of new games, and there's a really strong inclination that the main franchises being worked with in these new games are Warhammer 40K and Age of Sigmar.
The teaser images which you can see in the Tweet above depict some very interesting teases that reveal both the source material, as well as potential information about what kinds of games we're going to see. For one thing, one image shows the double-headed eagle, or the Imperial Aquila from Warhammer 40K. Saber Interactive will be developing this title. The "Protect. Redeem. Purge." heading hints at some Inquisition themes. Could we see another Inquisitor ARPG in the future?
And it's not just Games Workshop that's getting all of the love from Focus Home Interactive either. The publisher has been extremely open to new projects from a variety of developers, and has secured deals for a variety of existing properties and new IPs. In fact, it seems like Focus Home Interactive is setting itself up for a massive pivot to become a much bigger player in the gaming scene in general over the next few years.
This strategy has already borne plenty of fruit with some great games, and of course not all of them are set in the 41st millennia of mankind. There' Deck 13 (The Surge) who made a great game for the publisher. Sumo Digital (Dead Island 2, Team Sonic Racing, Crackdown 3) also contributed to the piles of amazing titles that Focus has created or worked on over the years.

KNOWvember: Day Seventeen - 100 Suits
In case you were wondering, the internet is filled with all sorts of things that can bring a person down or worse, make one feel hopeless. The company now known as Meta have faced criticism for their Facebook and Instagram apps that have given rise to pettiness, jealousy, and division. If you're a teenage girl, you could add body shaming to my small and nowhere near endless list. Still, one can find hope and good stories that can inspire and lift you up.
I don't know when the idea came, but when I started KNOWvember I had no idea or any intention to be like the Instagram page Humans Of New York (@humansofny), which was created by Brandon Stanton to showcase the beauty in ordinary people in his community. His page, unlike mine, has 11.5 million followers which tells me there is a need out there. We are all just humans. Like the people found and featured online, we are all ordinary people capable of doing extraordinary things. Every day.
One such person is Kevin Livingston, the founder of 100 Suits. This is how he tells his own story @humansofny Insta: "I still have the original flyer that I made: 100 suits for 100 gang members. At the time I was working as a bank teller. My manager allowed me to put a collection box in the lobby. People donated so many suits that I had to move them to the staff closet. I got written up for that, so I moved them all to my bedroom. Nothing in there but a bed and 100 suits. We handed all of them out that very first day. I brought a suit rack to her all the kids hang out on the corner. I gave each kid a haircut: lineup, fade, I can do it all. Then afterword I would fit him for a suit."
That is how it began. This is how hope is born daily. And faith is returned, if only to a small place in the world where most hope and faith seemed to have faded. That was 2011. I am al most positive that Mr. Livingston had no idea that four years later his vision and heart would become an official 501(c)3 non-profit simply known as 100 Suits. Ten years later, they are still turning lives around one suit at a time.
On their website they write: "Our core service is to provide free business attire to men and women who are in the job search process. By being able to wear appropriate attire to their interviews, these men and women are better equipped to achieve gainful employment, which will ultimately help them to transition into mainstream society and live more productive lives. Through this program, we also provide free haircuts for men and where needed, wig/salon referrals for women."
While this story is about Kevin Livingston, it reminds me of a woman who came into the church that I served. She and her husband had been living in their car after their moving truck caught on fire. They lost everything in that disaster. Not just their clothes, but also their documents and identification. I was used to being "hustled" by people looking for handouts. And truth be told, it never bothered me. But there was something about these two that I just loved. They had hope.
Working with a organization that helped unhoused people, I was able to get them a week stay in a very cheap hotel. While she was happy for that, what she really wanted was a job. She was smart, articulate, and kind. (She wore a wig because she lost her hair from chemo treatments as a little girl).
What was stopping her from finding a job, in a town that had very little to offer, was she only had the clothes on her back. A violet-colored sweat suit, the only thing she could find in her size and price range at Goodwill. That wasn't going to cut it.
Before I began calling parishioners for donations the church secretary came in, unknowingly, and said, "XXX just dropped off her mom's clothes. I put them in the storage room." The woman whose funeral I had just officiated was the same size as this woman. With a room to shower, and a new wardrobe, this wonderful woman got a job the next day.
Kevin Livingston's story is this same story. Only it happens every day with him. " I take a young man without any hope, and put him in a suit jacket, and a tie. He's going to change his opinion of himself. He's going to feel like his CEO of the world."
It really doesn't take much to give someone some hope, or to restore their faith, or to build both in them if they never had it before. "I brought along one of those cheap $10 mirrors. I showed him his reflection. Then I had sent him straight to the job development person. I had no idea what I was doing."
His story reminds me of the extraordinary things ordinary people can do, if only we take the time to get to know others, learn their story, and offer to help wherever possible. "I had no clue what it would grow to be. Over the last 10 years we've given out 50,000. Whenever a man needs a fresh start, 100 Suits is there with a suit."
Over the years, they have expanded their services; partnering with the prison and parole systems to assist people as they transition out of incarceration. They also provide leadership and job training. And they work to address "socio-economic issues as well as injustice issues with its community involvement and activism, making positive changes in the lives of men and women in the New York City area. These solutions help those individuals get to a place of economic freedom help to reduce recidivism rates."
This place reminds me of Homeboy Industries out here in Los Angeles; a program created by one of my heroes, Fr. Greg Boyle, to help gang-members get off the streets with employment opportunities. It's amazing how a person's life can be change and transformed because someone takes the chance to love them and care for them. This isn't always easy.
Livingston has had his own struggles along the way. He recalls, "There was an entire month in 2016 when I was homeless. Every night I slept in my car, in the parking lot of JFK. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone. But I kept doing what I do. Each morning I'd wash up in the bathroom of the travel center. I put on a black pants, and a $5 black T-shirt. And I drove to work. I kept a single suit jacket behind my desk. First thing in the morning and slip it on, and I get a boost. No matter what was going on. No matter how low I felt. When I slipped on that jacket, for a moment I felt like CEO of the world."
Livingston didn't let that get him down, nor did it make him throw in the towel. He persevered and as of today has extended the organization's reach into the community to include 100 Soups, to address the food insecurity issues among seniors and the most vulnerable in their communities. Meals are cooked and delivered by men and women who were formerly incarcerated.
As Charlene Rhinehart put in her interview with Livingston, which was featured in Black Enterprise, "Children, young men, and men of color need to see people like themselves represented in a positive light by "ordinary" people. Furthermore, it provides a framework for them to understand that dreams coupled with hard work lead to success and empowerment. It speaks to possibility, demonstrates hope, and has the capacity to spur someone else to pursue their dreams despite the lack of initial support."
With two offices now serving Brooklyn and Queens, 100 Suits lives up to their mission "to help underprivileged men and women improve their role in society build dignity and self-esteem, foster self-sufficiency, dispel stereotypes, and promote community involvement in order to build each other up."
This is what I think it means to be an ordinary person doing extraordinary things in the world. We are all superheroes, but not everyone has a suit to prove it.

Q: Login form validation with error messages I'm trying to make a login form that check if my data are correct.
For example, if I insert a different value than "new_user" in the username field, then it should display a red error message under the submit button saying "please insert a valid user", and the border of the input field should be red as well.
If the username field is empty it has to do the same thing, just that the error message now has to be "please insert a username" and the same thing has to apply for the password field.
If the values for both username and password are matching has to display the message "Successfully Login"
I will attach an image just as an example, and I have added my code below. Please feel free to tell me what am I doing wrong.

var form = document.getElementById("form");
var user = document.getElementById("username");
var pass = document.getElementById("password");
var botton = document.getElementById("btn")
var validUser = "new_user";
var validPassword = 123456789;

form.addEventListener("submit", function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  checkInputs();
})

user.addEventListener("input", function() {
  var username = user.value;
  if (username) {
    if (username === " " || username == null) {
      setErrorFor(user, "Please insert a username");
    } else if (username !== validUser) {
      setErrorFor(user, "Please insert a valid username");
    }
  } else {
    setSuccessFor(user, "Successfully Login")
  }
})

function setErrorFor(input, message) {
  var formControl = input.parentElement;
  var showError = document.querySelector(".text-message");
  var displayMessage = document.getElementById("msg");

  //add error message & add the class name inside the message element
  displayMessage.innerHTML = message
  showError.className = "text-message invalid"

  //add the error class
  formControl.classList = "form-control fail"
}

function setSuccessFor(input, message) {
  var formControl = input.parentElement;
  var showError = document.querySelector(".text-message");
  var displayMessage = document.getElementById("msg");

  //add error message & add the class name inside the message element
  displayMessage.innerHTML = message
  showError.className = "text-message valid"

  //add the error class
  formControl.classList = "form-control success"

Who is Mike Busey?
Michael 'Mike' Busey was born on 19 December 1980, in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, and is a host as well as an entertainer, who became popular particularly through holding parties at his home called The Sausage Castle. His fame has led him to work with numerous noted companies, including "Playboy" and Jackass.
The Wealth of Mike Busey
How rich is Mike Busey? As of early 2020, sources inform us of a net worth that is over $250,000, earned through a successful career as a host and entertainer. In recent years he's expanded his reach to include other avenues and platforms such as social media.
The Sausage Bowl Was A Good Time! @TheSausageCastle Is Waiting For You To Come Visit!
A post shared by Mike Busey ? (@mikebuseyshow) on Feb 3, 2020 at 7:50pm PST
As he continues his endeavors, it is expected that his wealth will also continue to increase.
Mike has not shared specific information regarding his family, education, and childhood, only that he grew up in New Orleans, and it was his family who exposed him to the party lifestyle at a young age – both of his parents were drug users as well as frequent party-goers. This led to him being exposed to things he wasn't supposed to see at a young age.
Due to his parents' problems, he spent a lot of time moving around, from homes of family members to foster homes.
He lived in seven states during his childhood, helped to survive by his friends. After matriculating from high school, he enrolled at a private Christian college on a basketball scholarship. During this time, he didn't really think of himself as an entertainer, envisioning a career as a youth pastor.
Sausage Castle Beginnings
Busey became disillusioned and his dream of becoming a pastor were shattered, after he discovered that the president of the college was misappropriating funds meant for mission trips. He confronted the school management about this, and was expelled without a home to go back to.
Mike Busey
In 2001 he moved in with seven friends, and they had the idea of creating The Sausage Castle. It was meant to be a house where the fun would never end, with the group adhering to the party lifestyle. Starting out, they promoted the party be calling acquaintances and distributing flyers. Soon their parties would attract huge crowds, gaining attention in the underground scene.
To attract party-goers, he often had something unusual such as a masseuse or a psychic in the party; later on he invited bands, rappers, and other artists.
With the advent of social media, his popularity grew, and he did a lot of promotions through websites such as MySpace and YouTube. Eventually, this fame led to him being approached by clubs, as he had the necessary qualities to become a promoter and host. He started working with several clubs, but soon saw the potential for his own show, and in 2005 he created the Mike Busey Live Stage Show.
Tours, Recent Endeavors, and Controversies
The Mike Busey Show featured scantily dressed women, a 500lb man, fire breathers and many more. The allowance of crowd participation proved to be the selling point for many.
For a while, they had residency at Club Lavela in Panama City Beach, before the party started touring around the country. In 2012 he gained national attention after media outlets discovered that he was organizing huge parties…. and selling liquor without a license. He's since relocated Sausage Castle several times, buying huge spaces and mansions where they can organize parties without much of a problem. The popularity of their parties has attracted numerous high profile publications, including "Vice".
The party has been heavily criticized by numerous online and print publications, with several of them naming the Sausage Castle as a den of debauchery. His house has been labelled a sex den, with party goers often going there to interact with prostitutes and sex workers. Busey has defended himself, stating that there is nothing wrong as he has not hurt anyone nor has anyone gone there against his will. In 2017, he attracted more attention after it was discovered that one of his parties led to a fire starting, burning the entire house to the ground.

Posted by Mike Busey on Sunday, October 20, 2019
He has also been fined multiple times for violating numerous local laws and regulations.
Personal Life and Social Media
For his personal life, it is known that Busey would find it very difficult to maintain a steady relationship with the lifestyle he has. He mentioned that he has not had a long relationship – the longest he's had is with The Sausage Castle! One of the tenants of the Castle, a stripper, says that Busey only typically likes young women from 18 to 23, as she was the oldest woman there and she was 25.
Similar to numerous entertainers and hosts, he is highly active online through accounts on social media. He has an account on Instagram which he uses to promote some of his day to day endeavors, which often feature him partying or organizing events with his Sausage Castle family. He also often goes on tour, and shows a bit of footage from his parties, but not showing too much, so promoting it to those who want to pay for more exclusive content. He has similar accounts on Twitter and Facebook, and also a YouTube account, which showcases videos done in video blog (vlog) style. The videos often show what goes on in parties, while censoring the adult material out.

Castillon History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Early Origins of the Castillon family
The surname Castillon was first found in Languedoc, where the family has held a family seat since ancient times.
Many of the family joined the Conquest of England in 1066 to fill the many vocations that arose. Henry de Castillun or Chastillon (fl. 1195), was Archdeacon of Canterbury and is first mentioned as a judge of the king's court in 1195. "In the records of fines for that year he is mentioned as Henry de Chastilon or Castilliun, but in those of 1196 he is always called Henry, archdeacon of Canterbury. It may therefore be presumed that he was appointed about the end of 1195 or the beginning of 1196. He may possibly be the same person as the Henry de Casteillun who in 1197 rendered an account of receipts and payments of the office of chamberlain of Condon for the two years beginning Whitsuntide 1195."

Honestly, the application process was very straightforward. I knew that I wanted to gain experience in public service and, specifically, that I wanted to work on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. I had a few friends that had enjoyed a great internship experience with Senator Isakson's office last summer, so I began my search there. I contacted my friends and learned more about their experiences and what type of role I would be interviewing for. After learning about the job, I wrote my application essays, gathered recommendation letters from professors who knew me well, asked friends and family to proofread my application, and submitted the final product via Senator Isakson's website. After I submitted my application, I was notified that I had been selected for an interview. Finally, I interviewed with two fulltime staff members and Senator Isakson's Chief of Staff before being selected for the internship.
While working for Senator Isakson, I was exposed to many different roles. From answering constituents' phone calls to walking the Senator to congressional hearings, my activities were extremely varied. A typical day, however, would begin with an in-depth reading of the latest political news (sources such as Politico, Roll Call, and the WSJ). My focus was education, so I was responsible for finding relevant articles on both local and national education and compiling them into a readable format to be sent out to the staff. After the education update was sent out, I would attend a staff meeting where everyone was updated on the day's projects and highlights. During these meetings, Senator Isakson would explain his positions on certain issues and prioritize particular areas. After the staff meeting, I would sit in on constituent discussions. These meetings involved constituents and Senator Isakson's staff discussing legislative impact on particular industries, businesses, and organizations. My day would often include a hearing or meeting on the Hill where I would take notes on whatever topic was being discussed. These meetings were varied, but generally involved informational presentations on current policy, rising issues, or potential bills. Finally, I would end the day by organizing support letters for different bills that the Senator was involved with and then proceeding to one of the many receptions on Capitol Hill.
My favorite aspect of this opportunity was the observational access to policy makers at the highest level. To be able to see, first-hand Senator Isakson's decision-making processes and leadership methods was a great privilege. The most challenging part about this opportunity involved the amount of information that I was required and expected to digest and understand everyday. There are no issues in the world that are more important and impactful than those being discussed on Capitol Hill – it can be a lot to take in at once.
My advice to future interns would be to take advantage of every opportunity in DC. Attend every hearing you can, explore the Capitol building, talk to people who work for other Congressmen and Congresswomen. Basically, buy-in on the experience. Also, take advantage of the staff-level access that your Senate ID gives you.
My most important takeaway from this internship comes completely as a result of interacting with Senator Isakson. You can tell a lot about a leader by the way he treats the lowest person on the totem pole, namely, the intern. On my first day, I had not been sitting at my desk for more than ten minutes before the Senator himself walked over and introduced himself to me. He asked me where I was from, where I went to school, what I was majoring in, and other questions that showed he respected me. Throughout the internship, Senator Isakson was always very inclusive and encouraging. He even went as far as to take each of the interns to breakfast. I will always remember the respect that the Senator showed me. That is probably the biggest takeaway that I will continue to apply not only to my college experience, but also to my life in general.
I would like to use this space to encourage everyone who has never worked in public service to consider spending a summer interning on Capitol Hill. I think that the experience is extremely beneficial in widening perspective and in gaining appreciation for the leadership that these men and women provide to our country.

You guys will be better without Favre. Having him convinced the coaching staff that you guys could throw the ball, when all of your other acquisitions during the offseason were designed to make you guys a good running team.
Thomas is a great go ahead runner, his style is much like Brandon Jacobs, and he got to the Superbowl with the Bears.
Washington is a speedster, he is great on screens and options, he is still not a developed runner though.
I don't understand, Favre has amazing recievers downfield, but he threw 20 interceptions? His last 6 games were just awful.
We still don't have a solid D though, we have solid DB's but our Dline isnt penetrating, so the QB's have all day.


Children in England with special educational ne and disabilities (Send) have lost out on £1.2bn worth of services because government funding has failed to keep pace with soaring demand for additional support over the past four years, according to an analysis.
The number of children and young people with an education, health and care plan, a legal document detailing a child's entitlement to support for special ne, has risen from 240,000 to 320,000 since 2015 – an increase of 33% – according to research by the National Education Union (NEU).
Yet central government funding paid into the "high-ne block" of councils' education budgets to cover Send provision has only increased by 7% over the same period, from £5.6bn to £6bn in today's prices, the NEU says, resulting in "massive" funding shortfalls in nine out of 10 local authorities.
One of the key reasons for increased demand, and cost, is the extension of education, health and care plan provision to include young people with additional ne aged 19-25. Campaigners also highlight the drift of Send pupils away from mainstream schools to more expensive special school settings, accusing some of failing to be inclusive, either because of funding or accountability pressures.
Nadhim Zahawi, the minister for children and families, said it was wrong to imply that funding had been cut and that the government had increased spending on high ne from £5bn in 2013 to £6.3bn this year.

Contemporary Art Jewels have been my interest since the beginning of the 1970s. In the course of time I have become an aficionado. Recently I have reorganized my collection and decided to change its focus. Several jewels will therefore no longer fit the new direction I am taking.

Microprocessor knees such as the C-Leg can provide safety and stability to amputees giving them a better quality of life.
Amputees in England living with above-knee limb loss are awaiting the imminent decision, from the NHS, for funding approval of a vital and necessary policy; Clinical Commissioning Policy: Microprocessor Controlled Prosthetic Knees. This policy would give above-knee amputees living in England access, via the NHS, to a life changing Microprocessor Controlled Prosthetic Knee (MPK).
If funding is approved it is hoped that by making MPKs more widely available on the NHS quality of limb loss rehabilitation will be improved at a national level. Hundreds of eligible above-knee amputees living in England would have access to one of the safest and most popular MPK on the market, Ottobock's C-Leg.
The policy was submitted to NHS England back in 2013 to guarantee centralised funding for the treatment of above-knee limb loss. Since the submission, various organisations including the Clinical Reference Group on Disability Equipment – creators of the policy – have campaigned for the approval of the policy. Earlier this year it was announced that the policy had been categorised for funding.
The associated benefits of an MPK would mean that amputees would have fewer trips to the NHS and the effects of wear and tear on the body would be minimised; all benefits which the NHS has recognised and therefore deemed the policy to be cost effective.
These mechatronic knees would allow those eligible to get on with everyday life without the fear of falls and stumbles and relieves them of having to concentrate on every step; providing them with the dignity and quality of life they deserve.
Someone who knows the benefits of an MPK is Damian Harper. He spent years fighting for his C-Leg. He managed to get his through specialised funding, which is now no longer available. It improved his life dramatically, but after what he calls a degrading and damaging time he doesn't want anyone else to have to go through such an ordeal.
Another who also knows the benefits is Gillian McBain. She was a competitive swimmer for the first 10 years after having her leg amputated. Back then she was only concerned about getting from her car to where she wanted to go and back again. Gillian explains, "As long as my prosthesis got me from the house to the car and the car to the pool or gym that was all I asked of it". She was then offered the chance to wear a C-Leg. This was the start of her life returning to something along the lines of what she used to know and allowed her to do the things she loved doing before her amputation. To see how the C-Leg 4 has enriched Gillian McBain's life watch this video where she tells her story: https://youtu.be/0BbMXq-JZJM .

One hundred students gathered in Washington, D.C., this past weekend to discuss, draft, and ratify a Students' Bill of Rights on School Safety, The 74 reports. The final 15-point bill called for universal background checks, waiting periods for firearm purchases, and increased access to mental health counseling for students, among other things.
During the three-day summit, students attended education sessions and small workshops. Some of the students had been personally affected by school gun violence, including a senior from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
Gun control issues took center stage in February after the Parkland shooting, but support for stricter gun laws has faded over time, according to a May 2018 poll. Students who spoke with The 74 remained optimistic that politicians on either side of the debate would acknowledge their efforts.
According to Education Dive, the importance of education in this year's midterm elections and the large number of educators running for office could impact whether lawmakers will take these students' voices into account.
The Kettle Moraine High School Campus in Wales, Wisconsin, caught the attention of Edutopia this week for its inventive university-like model. The campus houses four distinct high schools, one traditional public school and three public charter schools (which focus on the performing arts, health sciences, and global leadership, respectively). Despite attending different schools, students at Kettle Moraine share classrooms, resources, teachers, and sports teams.
This unique model is the result of a 2005 motion passed by the school board to change the school to "better and more efficiently meet the needs of all students." With feedback from students, families, and community members, district leaders prioritized student-led learning, career-oriented experiences outside of school, and access to cutting-edge technology.
As a result, the campus now has 3D printers and collaborative learning spaces, and teachers have redesigned lesson plans to focus on learning in our digital world. Students can also work at hospitals and local businesses to build skills that align with their future aspirations, according to the article.
Superintendent Pat Deklotz commented that the campus model is intended to nurture the love of learning that can get stifled with "the factory model of education." "When kids come to us in kindergarten, they are so eager to learn. You can't turn off the spigot," she told Edutopia.
As schools recover from Hurricanes Michael and Florence, many face new obstacles in the form of mounting bills and insurance issues, according to Education Week. Some districts can utilize surplus funds to pay for damages, but there are limits on what state-provided insurance will cover, as New Hanover County, North Carolina, Superintendent Tim Markley discovered. His district's insurance may not cover mold cleanup or damages that could have been caused before the storm, according to the article.
A measure passed in North Carolina last week will send millions to schools to pay for storm damage. Many district leaders are already working to figure out what these funds can be used for. The time it takes to sort this out could have impacts on rebuilding efforts and costs, David Stephens, executive director of risk management for the Florida School Boards Insurance Trust, told Ed Week. Stephens explained that the key is to start fixing small problems before they become bigger, more expensive ones. Issues like mold and mildew can develop when repairs stretch out over time. Larger districts may have access to these immediate funds, but for smaller schools, gathering resources can take valuable time.
Rebuilding fees are just some of the long-term issues schools face. Enrollment losses are high, for example. Many students, teachers, and their families were displaced by the storm, and major damages to homes and businesses mean that many may not return to the area for years.
A new report says socioeconomic inequalities in education are an international issue, according to an article by U.S. News & World Report. The 192-page report, conducted by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), analyzed student achievement levels in 70 countries, focusing mainly on data from the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA).
Researchers found that around the world, a school's socioeconomic profile was the most important factor in student achievement. Students who attended more advantaged schools performed better on the PISA than students who attended less advantaged schools, no matter their individual socioeconomic status. On average, disadvantaged students who attended advantaged schools scored much higher than disadvantaged peers who went to disadvantaged schools. "Basically those students get penalized twice," Andreas Schleicher, director for education and skills at OECD, told U.S. News. "They come from a poor family and they go to a school that is also disadvantaged…. Where they go to school really matters a lot."
But strides have been made in recent years. Some countries have made improvements in equity between 2009 and 2015, including the U.S. The achievement levels of disadvantaged students in the U.S. have inched upwards, even though the country's overall rank has not markedly changed.

Astronaut Hopkins will be sworn into US Space Force on International Space Station next month
On October 28, local time, the US Space Force announced that the US Space Force will soon have its first astronaut, and he will be sworn in to join the Space Force on the International Space Station.
According to US Space News on October 28, NASA astronaut Michael Hopkins will take an oath on the International Space Station next month to transfer from the US Air Force to the US Space Force.
The four American astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, Shannon Walker and the astronaut Satoshi Noguchi of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency will take the manned version developed by SpaceX on November 14 The "Dragon" spacecraft headed to the International Space Station. Space News quoted the US Space Commander John Raymond as saying: "If all goes well,
we want Hopkins to swear to join the US Space Force on the International Space Station."
According to reports, the US Space Force is currently discussing arrangements for the oath ceremony with NASA. Hopkins will become the first NASA astronaut to serve in the US Space Force.
On December 20, 2019, US President Trump signed the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2020. The bill recognizes space as the "field of warfare" and approves the establishment of the sixth largest U.S. service, the Space Force. This is another important development since Trump announced the establishment of the US Space Command in August last year.
Many experts believe that the United States is advancing on the road to militarization of space. According to the plan of the US Space Force Command, in the future, the space force can attack ground and network targets when necessary.
Earlier this year, Secretary of the Air Force Barrett stated that the Space Force currently includes 16,000 military and civilian personnel, all from the former Air Force Space Command. According to reports, the U.S. Space Force received 40 million U.S. dollars in the first year of funding.

Hello and Welcome to Fiddler's Malt Whisky Bar where we are passionate about Whisky and have over the years tasted, collected, drunk, discussed, nosed, loved, hated, analyzed, enjoyed and (unfortunately) spilt many different Drams. Whether they were, Blends, Vatted Malts, Single Malts, Single Casks, Young or Old Whiskies or, dare I say, not even from Scotland. We don't pretend to know everything about Whisky but we have done an awful lot of tasting and have discussed amongst ourselves and with Friends and Customers what is it that makes a Dram a Truly Great Dram!
As well as our Famous Whisky Library which includes nearly all the Named Scottish Single Malts available from Aberfeldy to Tullibardine we have many individual shelves for some of our more popular malts such as Old Pulteney, Talisker, Macallan, Balvenie, Ardbeg and Bruichladdich. Our Top Shelf is home to many Older Expressions, Award-winning Drams, Inverness Malts, Rare Whiskies and even some International Whiskies. One of Fiddler's Whisky Bar's Specialties is Port Ellen with several different expressions open at any one time. Independent Bottlers are also represented to show the amazing breadth and diversity of Scottish Whisky. Our Scotch Malt Whisky Society Selection is an excellent introduction to the world of Single Cask, Cask Strength, Un-chilfiltered and Non-Coloured Whisky, and the nearest thing there is to sampling straight from the barrel in a distillery's warehouse.
It's not easy deciding which whiskies to include in our list and we are constantly on the look out for the best of what is available. If you know of any particularly fine dram that you think we should be stocking please let us know and who knows next time you're here you could well be sampling it with us in our bar.
Our Famous Triple Tastings are always available where we can help Whisky Novices discover Scotland's National Drink or the more experienced can choose their own favourite or soon-to-be favourite malts. Other Flights of Whisky are available which can showcase a particular Whisky Region, an individual style of Cask and even our weird Otaku Malts. More personalized tastings have taken place and can be organized for groups.
During quieter periods Fiddler's Highland Restaurant and Malt Whisky Bar is closed from 3 till 6 O'clock leaving our Licensed Coffee Shop open throughout the afternoon. If you or your group of Whisky Lovers are planning on visiting in the afternoon and would like to taste some of our many whiskies or perhaps you would just like to see our great selection please contact us and we can ensure that you will not be disappointed.

SPONTANEOUS ADDICTION RECOVERY: WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST
by James Slobodzien
Some estimate that between 115 and 175 Americans are dying every day from drug overdoses. From 2000 to 2016, more than 600,000 people died from drug overdoses in America. This rapid increase of prescription and non-prescription opioid drug use and related addiction deaths in the United States beginning in the 1990s has been called the worst drug epidemic in American history. Comparatively, alcohol/drug and poly-behavioral addiction overdoses now have a higher death toll than car crashes, HIV/AIDS, and guns ever killed in one year. This death epidemic toll has reached over half the number of Americans killed in ALL U.S. Wars combined (1.1 million).
There are no simple solutions, as this is a very complex problem, but could there be something that we are missing? I stumbled across a very interesting phenomenon called "Spontaneous Recovery" that may be a significant part of this solution, but why has it been kept such a secret for the last 50 years? Conventional wisdom among counselors, therapists, and clinicians is that "once an alcoholic addict - always an alcoholic addict." These "experts" continue to inform us that it is common knowledge that you can't quit drinking or using drugs on your own without professional help. They insist that addiction to alcohol and drugs is a progressive, irreversible, chronic and fatal brain disease if not medically treated by professionals. But, is this what the researchers have been reporting for the last 5 decades? No No No!
No one has all the answers to this complex problem, as each individual's addiction is as unique as their fingerprints.
This book attempts to provide some biblical answers to the important questions concerning the mysteries of human nature, addiction, and spontaneous recovery. These include: How has the psychology of religion historically helped people develop a positive identity? What is a spiritual conversion? What does God's word - the Bible say about how to overcome addictions? Due to the chronic pain, suffering, and despair brought about by this epidemic, many have become hopeless and have turned to their faith as a last resort. It is my hope that the words of this book would encourage those that have repeatedly failed in their recovery to put their faith in God to work by ~ Visualizing - Meditating and - Believing in HIS Word!

Dr. James Slobodzien, a licensed clinical psychologist and expert in the field of addiction treatment and recovery, speaks on the subject of substance abuse in America. As the author states, "This book examines the relationship between poly-behavioral addictions and the Spiritual Conversion Experience which many believe was God's original plan to restore his relationship with humanity.
By first introducing the readers to the substance abuse epidemic in America to the proverbial "Elephant in the Room", the author uses this well-known metaphor to help others understand…the elephant cannot be ignored. The "Elephant in the Room" is America's fascination, and staggering record overdoses, pertaining to the Opioid Epidemic. His book proclaims that this overwhelming epidemic is set to reach unbelievable proportions by 2020. Yet, he presents an awing twist of data known as "Spontaneous Addiction Recovery". His book explores the links and connections of the "Spiritual Awakening" and "Spiritual Conversion Experience and how they relate to the "The Mind of Christ" as evident from Spontaneous Recovery data that has been hidden for the last fifty years.
Additionally, the author takes no joy in the overwhelming data that suggests…America's citizens have huge substance abuse problems. Alcohol, illegal and prescription drugs are just to name a few. With that said, Slobodzien gives the overwhelming data that suggests an "uncovering" of hidden data that over 75% of those with abuse problems recovered on their own – known as "spontaneous recovery or a spiritual awakening". Articles reveal remarkable links between the spiritual, and spontaneous recovery.
The first 7 chapters cover the different kinds of addictions; the remainder uncovers the hidden agenda of farming and animal consumption, historical views and insight from the Bible, the time of Noah and the Nephalim, God's judgement and Christ's sacrifice. Blending a history of Paul's conversion, and religious history add to the book. Presenting also the "definition" of "Spontaneous Addiction Recovery" assist readers insight into the awakening of the spirit to God in a soul, and highlight the life-transforming power available to all who accept Christ.
As the author states, "The most important message of this book is God's ability to empower the common believer to discover and utilize his or her God-given spiritual gifts - to actualize the "Mind of Christ" (1 Cor. 2:16) to overcome all addictions. This is an amazing witness to the truth of the Gospel.
This book is a must-read for all those dealing with substance abuse or those who have either friends, family and/or co-workers who might need recovery from addiction.
Jim Slobodzien is a Hawaii licensed Clinical Psychologist and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor. Dr. Slobodzien's credentials include a Doctorate of Psychology in Clinical Psychology from the American School of Professional Psychology, Argosy University, Honolulu, HI. (1995), a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Northern Colorado Greeley, CO, (1982), and a Bachelors degree in Criminal Justice from Chaminade University Honolulu, HI. (1980). He completed Post-Graduate Education at the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation: Westminster Theological Seminary in Laverock, Pennsylvania (1985). In addition, he holds a Doctorate of Ministry degree from the International Seminary in Orlando Florida (1985). He is also credentialed by the National Registry of Health Service Providers in Psychology and is an Internationally Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor. Dr. Slobodzien has over 25 years of public service and mental health experience. He has primarily worked in the fields of alcohol/ substance abuse and poly-behavioral addictions in hospital, court and correctional settings. He has taught graduate-level psychology courses as an adjunct professor of Psychology at Argosy University and has also maintained a private practice as a mental health consultant. For the past 20 years, Dr. Slobodzien has been employed as a Military Psychologist providing services to our active-duty war veterans.
More importantly, after being raised as a Catholic, and while serving in the military, Jim had a Christian conversion experience in 1977, and he was led to a family-home church model of Christianity where he was taught "The Way" to follow Jesus as a life-style apart from any organized religions of Christianity. This unique training and experience of spending time with Jesus in the Family-home Church has guided his study of the Bible for the last 35 years. It has educated and trained him to understand and articulate the differences and similarities of spirituality and religion to identify and treat those who are caught up in the web of religious addiction. This has given Jim compassion for the unchurched and the victims of spiritual abuse and religious extortion of our present-day Organized Christianity. After all, the Bible tells us that Jesus hated the teachings of the Nicholaitans (organized religion), and that the Early Church in an effort to avoid the former pagan practices of building religious temples and financially supporting a specialized professional priesthood, went house to house planting Family-home Churches to reach unbelievers and fulfill the Great Commission.
Jim hopes to inspire others to know, understand, and follow the traditions of the first century Early Church as taught by Jesus and the Apostles and revealed in the New Testament Bible. Dr. Slobodzien has authored several "self-published" books and many articles including, "Christian Psychotherapy & Criminal Rehabilitation: An Integration of Psychology and Theology for Rehabilitative Effectiveness," "Poly-behavioral Addiction and the Addictions Recovery Measurement System (ARMS), and "Hawaii and Christian Religious Addiction: A Survey of Attitudes Toward Healthy Spirituality And Religious Addiction Within Christianity." Dr. Slobodzien has also developed the 7 Dimension Addiction Treatment Model that has been recognized by the Joint Commission in there leading practices library as a best practice in the medical field of addictions. In addition, Jim is a classic hard rock and roll enthusiast and guitarist and enjoys motorcycle riding.

Effort to recall council president on tax shift vote started
David Still II
Feb 20, 2007 at 2:00 AM Feb 20, 2007 at 12:43 PM
Residents in Precinct 6 will be asked if their councilor, Janet Joakim, should be recalled because of last week's vote to eliminate a spilt tax rate for 2007. The vote is being termed "political deceit."
Effort to recall council president started
'Political deceit' on split tax issue cited
Centerville resident Jim Walsh, one of Joakim's constituents, spoke with the town clerk's office this morning about the process to get a councilor recalled.
The primary reason, Walsh said, was Joakim's vote to eliminate the split tax last week.
The language atop an affidavit to get the recall under way reads: "Whereas Janet Joakim, who in the period leading up to her reelection in November, 2005, made both written and oral promises to honor the wishes of her constituents on the non-binding Split Tax referendum, Question 1, and subsequently dishonored that promise at a great cost to her constituents, we the undersigned charge her with political deceit, and demand her recall."
Walsh said a door-to-door effort will be made within Precinct 6 to gather the 50 signatures necessary to start to formal recall petition.
"We're going to canvas the area," Walsh told the Patriot in a phone interview Tuesday morning.
As outlined in the charter, any councilor with more than six months remaining in his or her term can be recalled. The first step is a 50-signature affidavit from registered voters within the affected precinct.
"This won't take long," Walsh predicted of the signature drive.
On the blog site www.capecog.com, Walsh has also called for a boycott of businesses that are members of the Hyannis Area Chamber of Commerce, which he sees as a primary mover in the split tax reversal.
Joakim Responds
Joakim said that those working to file a recall petition against her are not discussing her support of the residential exemption. The 20 percent residential exemption approved by the town council last week provides a $105,000 assessment credit to residents on their primary residence.
"By voting to retain in the residential exemption at 20 percent we were able to retain a savings on the average tax bill in my precinct of $412 a year!" Joakim wrote in an e-mail response.
Joakim said that for her precinct maintenance of the factor of 1.15 adopted last year would have represented an additional tax savings of $26 for the average assessed home value of $339,440 in Precinct 6. That number assumes the relief provided by the residential exemption as approved.
"To retain the [split tax] we voted in last year, would have saved the residents of my precinct an average of $26 a year and to save the $26 the cost to business would be approx $534!"
Based on figure provided to Joakim from the assessing office, there are about 1,600 residential properties in Precinct 6, representing a precinct-wide difference of $41,600 if the same commercial factor was adopted.
"As a councilor, it is my job to balance what is best for my constituents, with what is best for the town as a whole," Joakim wrote. "$26 is not enough to justify the relative $534 cost to a small business owner."
Last week, Joakim voted along with six other councilors to adopt a "factor of one," eliminating the higher tax rate paid by commercial and industrial property owners. She did support the residential exemption, which provides a tax benefit for residents on their primary homes worth up to about $840,000.
In her 2005 reelection campaign, Joakim said she would support the sentiment of the voters in her precinct on three tax classification questions. Precinct 6 voters supported the adoption of a split tax rate, as well as the residential and small commercial exemptions. She voted that way for the FY'06 tax year, but moved away from the split tax rate and small business exemption this year.
In the last recall effort, the 2003 drive by Jim Crocker to unseat incumbent Carl Riedell, the initial petitions were deemed insufficient because they were not clearly marked "affidavit."
Walsh said that he wants to avoid any difficulties with the form of the affidavit and an attorney was reviewed the form to be used.
Town Clerk Linda Hutchenrider said that once she certifies the signatures on the affidavit, her office must prepare blank petitions bearing the town's seal, citing the purpose of the petition as stated on the affidavit.
Those collecting signatures have 10 days from when the affidavit is submitted to collect signatures equal to 10 percent of the registered voters in the precinct. Based on the 2006 election, it will take 247 signatures to initiate a recall election.
If and when that amount is certified, the clerk's office will inform the town council through its president, who happens to be Joakim, of the petition. There is a five-day window to allow the councilor to resign his or her position, after which the council must call an election no sooner than 45 days after and no later than 60 days.
It is this time frame that has Hutchenrider concerned as to whether there will be other recall petitions. The timing is such that, if all the needed steps are completed within a close enough span, petitioners can be grouped for elections on the same day. If the petitioners miss the window created by the initial affidavit, it's possible that multiple recall elections will need to be scheduled on different days.
Hutchenrider estimated that a single-precinct recall election would cost between $6,000 and $7,000.
The same signature rules apply for candidates in a recall election. Council candidates require 25 signatures from registered voters within their precincts.
A recall election is not considered valid unless a minimum of 20 percent of the registered voters in the precinct vote.
There is nothing to prevent the subject of the recall from running in the recall election, Hutchenrider said. It's possible that the incumbent could be recalled and then re-elected to serve the term at the same election, she said.

Q: Set AngularJS directives to DOM node from controller The idea that I'm trying to reproduce is to set the angular directive('ng-show') from the controller.
I try to do the next:

var node = `<div ng-show="this.length > 5">...</div>`;
var child = document.createElement('span');
child.innerHTML = node;
document.querySelector('.container').appendChild(child);

Is it proper way to set the directive on DOM Node before one is being added to the DOM Tree?

A: You need to use the $compile service of AngularJS to add the HTML with angular directives dynamically in the HTML page like this
app_module.controller('appController', function ($scope, $compile) {
   var node = `<div ng-show="this.length > 5">...</div>`;
   var child = document.createElement('span');
   child.innerHTML = node;
   $compile(document.querySelector('.container').appendChild(child))($scope);
});

The $compile service will re-compile the AngularJS template and detect the newly added ng-show.

New Zealand Versus Australia
Many people tend to lump New Zealand and Australia together with that catch-all term 'Down Under". True, both are south of the equator, but that's where most similarities come to a screeching halt. New Zealand and Australia each have their pros and cons on the travel scale, and here's a list of a few of them.
Getting To and Fro
Australia is huge. Huge. It is its own continent, after all. New Zealand is much more manageable, especially for the traveler on a time schedule. A ferry links the north and south islands for the road or train traveler, and a flight between Auckland and Christchurch takes just over an hour. That being said, it's not as if air and train and road travel don't exist in Australia, but much more time will be spent on travel between cities.
Cosmos or Beer
With the exception of Auckland, New Zealand is still quite a rural and laid back country. This is a big draw for many travelers, but for those in search of thumping nightlife, some of Australia's very cosmopolitan cities may be a better fit. Sydney and Melbourne are consistently at the top of the list for internationally recognized DJs and clubs, as well as frequent visits by touring acts from around the world. Brisbane and Darwin come highly recommended, as well.
Weather plays a huge factor in travel decisions, which is especially true when outdoor sports are involved. New Zealand definitely has the upper hand if a ski trip is on your radar, as its volcanic terrain has inspired some great ski resorts. Surfing is popular in both countries, so it comes down to a personal warm or cold water preference. The same holds true with SCUBA diving, but Australia has the Great Barrier Reef, and that's hard for any country to compete with.

New Zealand has that type of landscape that inspires magic, and epic films like Lord of the Rings. From fjords to volcanos to grasslands, New Zealand's landscapes are stunning in their beauty. But so is Australia's. The Outback offers some of the best desert scenery on the planet, including Alice Springs and the impressive Ayers Rock. Additionally, people flock from all over the globe to Australia's pristine beaches and thousands of miles of coastline.
In the wildlife department, Australia takes the cake. With its abundance of marsupials, including the cute kangaroos and koalas, as well as many species of lizard, snake, birds, mammals and a vast array of sea life, Australia is a nature lover's dream. Of course, New Zealand has wildlife as well, but the kiwi simply can't compete.
In a perfect travel world, we could travel to each country in the world and make our own opinions about the best and the less than best. At the end of the day however, it is up to you, the traveler, to decide whether Australia or New Zealand is next on your travel agenda. Each destination has its own very distinct culture, people, sights and activities to take part in, any of which will be a highlight in and of itself.
Also in a perfect world, we could answer this question simply using the rugby quotient, and we all know what the result would be.

Just cause it's simple doesn't mean it's not super helpufl.
