There are a lot of factors that affect someone's health. But contrary to common opinion, little of your health is genetically determined. Your genes certainly influence your susceptibility to disease, but the trigger is almost always environmental. The largest lifestyle factor is the way that you eat – get this right and you dramatically improve your odds of optimum health, and low healthcare expenses, as the years go by.
We often think of food as fuel – which it is. But it is also what makes up the structure of our bodies – our bones, our skin, our eyes, and our brains. The body is quite amazing, and if you regularly feed it cracklins and fried sweet potato chips, you will get body in return. It just won't be the most high-functioning or long-lasting body.
Food does more than provide fuel and structure. It affects what hormones your body produces. It affects your acid/base balance. It influences how your immune system works. It even turns on and off certain genes, affecting who you are at a genetic level.
In studying health for a number of years, I have been amazed at how powerfully diet influences health and disease. After many years of effort from the American Heart Association, most people know that diet can contribute to cardiovascular disease. It is less well-known that almost half of all cancer is related to diet. Fewer still know about emerging information indicating that many autoimmune diseases may be prevented, halted, or reversed by eating certain types of foods (and avoiding others).
The new information about auto-immune disease is especially exciting. Autoimmune disease occurs when the person's immune system attacks its own body. This happens with multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, rosacea, psoriasis, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, and many more conditions. 15 – 25 million people in the U.S. have autoimmune diseases, and nearly 80% are women.
At least one third of all known or suspected autoimmune diseases are associated with a "leaky gut," and the percentage is probably much higher. When someone has a leaky gut, they absorb protein fragments and other large molecules that should not be absorbed.
"Molecular mimicry" is the idea that the immune cells become sensitive to these foreign protein fragments because they have amino acid sequences similar to human cells. This causes the immune cells to eventually attack the person's own body.
If you've been reading this newsletter for a while, you know that I often recommend eating according to the principles explained in The Paleo Diet. By focusing a diet on foods that we evolved to eat – vegetables, fruits, fish, meat, and nuts – you can significantly reduce your risk of many diseases.
Because the Paleo Diet is low in substances called saponins and lectins, it significantly reduces gut permeability. Foods to avoid include wheat, dairy, potatoes, beans, and alfalfa sprouts. I have received some amazing feedback from people with various autoimmune diseases who have begun eating this way.
One of my goals is to help you find more ways to lower your healthcare expenses. The very best way to do this is to require fewer medical services and prescription drugs. This is one of the reasons I am interested in health and nutrition. In fact, after being in the health insurance business for 15 years, a few years ago I went back to school and got my master's degree in health and exercise science.
We have much more control over our health than most of us realize. But if you don't exert control over your own health and healthcare, then the laws of nature, overworked doctors, hospital administrators, insurance companies or government bureaucrats, and others certainly will.
Take care of your health by eating a diet focused on the types of foods our Paleolithic ancestors evolved to eat. And maximize the contribution you make to your HSA each year. The unspent money will grow tax-free, and years from now you should be healthy, with a lot of money in the bank. That's where we all want to be, and the actions you take today are what will get you there.
P.S. – Next month I'll talk about ways to use your HSA, based on your stage in life and your current financial situation.

Discover America Canada held their 11th Annual Discover America Canada Media Day at Toronto's Arcadian Court Monday.

US Customs and Border Protection Says Travelers'... Impacting Travel
More than 25 representatives from a variety of destinations in the US, both large and small, were on hand to meet with Canadian media and influencers in a type of speed-dating format. Media attendees pre-arranged ten one-on-one meetings of 10-minutes each, allowing the destination representatives to give a quick one-on-one update of what's new and hot in their destination.
"Discover America Canada Day is the only media marketplace in Canada where we get to talk about inbound tourism into the United States from Canada, which of course is the number one source of visitors to the US." said Susan Webb, of VoX Travel Marketing and president of the Discover America Canada committee. "Today is really important because it really showcases a lot of our US destinations as well as our partners, like airlines, car rentals and attractions, to our top media in Canada, both consumer and trade as well as influencers. So it's very important to that we get a positive messaging about travelling to the United States out to consumers and the travel trade."
Patrice Bell, of Pulse Communications, representing Brand USA, pointed out to TravelPulse Canada that Canadians continue to account for almost 30 per cent of visitors to the US and that we continue to drive year-over-year growth. In addition, Air Canada remains, by far, the dominant carrier to the US, with seat capacity of over 7.4 million, but WestJet's capacity to the US of 2.85 million seats, puts it in second place, with more capacity than United (2.3 million), Delta (1.99 million) or American (1.76 million), according to research from Brand USA.
During lunch, following the one-on-one sessions, Danya Dixon, vice president of programming for Canadian Music Week (CMW), gave a short overview of next year's conference and festival. Now in its 36th year, CMW is Canada's largest and longest-running music festival, with 3,000-4,000 delegates attending the conference and over 4,500 musicians participating. What's that got to do with the US?
Dixon announced that CMW will feature a Spotlight on the U.S.A. in 2018, in what CMW is referring to as the Year of the Three Amigos, and as such, Discover America Canada and Canadian Music Week are looking at ways to work together to use Canadian Music Week as a vehicle to promote the US as a destination.
The partnership with Canadian Music Week is timely as Bell then updated the group and then announced that following last year's wildly successful America Wild: National Parks Adventure, the organisation is working on a new film, focused on music.
The new film, entitled "America's Musical Journey", is a 3D Imax documentary narrated by singer, songwriter and musician Aloe Blacc, which celebrates the diverse cultures of the US, as told through the story of its music. The film, scheduled for release in February 2018, will feature the music of the US, with a focus on key cities like Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, Memphis, Nashville and New York, and is an ideal tie-in for promoting the US.

Creating a strong, eye-catching company profile is the key to becoming a powerful brand. In today's fast-paced world, it's important to make a great first impression. There's no better way to do that than with a company profile. Check out these great tips and company profile example designs.
There are a dizzying array of company profiles out there. You want to make sure that you have the right one. When in doubt, first consider the main information that you want to put in. How much is there? What kind is it? Whether it's a lot of numbers or a lot of text, look for a profile that can accommodate what you need.
Then, of those, choose which one best represents the feel you want your business to have. Consider your industry and the image that you want to project. There's no hard-and-fast rules for doing that right. Just go with what feels best! Your instincts will guide you. Check also our profile design jokes!
Now that you've picked a template, you're ready to design the profile. Here is some help for making the best company profile design for you.
Stand out from the crowd: Although you might decide to use a template, make sure you customize it. Incorporate a few symbols, shapes, and colors that represent your industry and your business. There's nothing wrong with templates, but if you're boring, you're not memorable, so spice it up.
Use a few bold colors: Bright colors catch the eye, but too many tire it. Choose a tight palette, with colors that suit your business, and use them mixed with neutrals like black, white, and grey. Make these the most noticeable colors. You can use others in small amounts, but sticking mostly to your palette will make your profile look cleaner and more put-together.
Avoid clutter: Like too many colors, too many objects can tire the eye. Give your profile a clean look by incorporating only a few important symbols. Giving the reader plenty of white space between lines. Densely packed numbers and text never make anyone happy. Making your profile readable will make it more interesting.
The importance of creating a company profile design makes it a daunting challenge. Now, though, you have some information and some examples. You're much better placed to create something really memorable. Go forth and design!
If you need a company profile example to optimize your business and truly show your strengths, contact us and let us help you shine.

Please provide an e mail addressPlease offer a valid e mail addressWe are sorry, but we have not been able to confirm your email domain. There is no certain qualification in management consultancy in New Zealand, but organisations usually choose to employ people with relevant management or project knowledge. As an added bonus, you will get our extensive video course, The MC Starter Pack, which contains the 61-web page Consulting Roadmap – your private guide to breaking into consulting and a $95 value – Definitely Free of charge!
IBM , or Oracle are examples of these.These tend to supplement and hawk the goods of their parent organization, but do involve some much more broad-primarily based consulting projects. Vacancies can exist in our risk advisory/internal audit, regulatory advisory, actuarial, economic modelling, IT assurance/safety and economic threat management teams.
Management consultants work in a variety of sectors, e.g. banking, healthcare, engineering, retail, and so forth. Management Consultants are right to stick with what they excel at, but they frequently need to have a companion to function alongside them in actual-time to guarantee the operate they recommend is really taking place – and is getting measured and enhanced upon on a regular basis.
Our professional consultants have a robust track record and unrivalled national network of senior project and programme employers which let us to match the correct individual to the proper job, like programme management jobs , project management jobs , alter management jobs , business analyst jobs , programme jobs and project workplace jobs. Drawbacks: As huge companies, they can have lots of bureaucracy, politics and lame management policies.
Probabilities of getting a job as a management consultant consultant are excellent for people with the proper background, due to increased demand for their solutions, as organisations reduce back on permanent staff. MBAs usually lured to profitable investment banking turned to consulting as a protected backup, and a recruiter at Boston Consulting Group said attendance doubled at some campus recruiting events in 2008. I have one particular year of function knowledge at an Investment Bank but have often wanted to do consulting.

Detroit Tigers Previews
Tigers vs. Blue Jays Preview: Can Buck Farmer keep pace with Marcus Stroman?
Farmer and the Tigers kick off a three-game series at Toronto on Friday.
By Rob Rogacki@BYBRob Sep 8, 2017, 4:50pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Tigers vs. Blue Jays Preview: Can Buck Farmer keep pace with Marcus Stroman?

Remember when Buck Farmer went gangbusters in his first two starts? Yes, that happened this season (it seems so long ago!). Farmer struck out 16 batters in 13 innings, and only issued three walks. He generated 29 whiffs in those two outings, including 22 (!) in a dominant performance against the Chicago White Sox.
Then, the wheels fell off. Farmer was lit up in consecutive starts by the Arizona Diamondbacks and Tampa Bay Rays. He failed to make it out of the third inning in both games, and allowed a combined 13 runs on 14 hits. He was optioned back to the minor leagues afterward, and made 11 solid-if-unspectacular starts to close out his season in Triple-A. Since returning to Detroit in late August, Farmer has made two more starts. He beat the White Sox again on August 26, and couldn't get through the fourth inning against Cleveland on September 2.
So far, the pattern is clear. Farmer has done very well against bad offenses, but struggled against good ones. The Indians are baseball's second-best offense in terms of wRC+, and the Diamondbacks have some dangerous hitters at their disposal. The Rays were much better in the first half — they managed a 106 wRC+ as a team — than their overall numbers (98 wRC+) suggest. Meanwhile, the White Sox (92 wRC+) and Angels (93 wRC+, 87 wRC+ in the first half) have been well below average.
Facing the Blue Jays would seem like a bad matchup for Buck, right? Not necessarily. Toronto has been one of the more impotent teams in baseball this year, with a paltry 90 wRC+ as a team. They are scoring 4.25 runs per game, the sixth-lowest rate in baseball.
Can Buck take advantage of the struggling Jays?
Detroit Tigers (59-80) at Toronto Blue Jays (64-76)
Time/Place: 7:07 p.m., Rogers Centre
SB Nation site: Bluebird Banter
Media: Fox Sports Detroit, MLB.TV, Tigers Radio Network
Pitching Matchup: RHP Buck Farmer (3-2, 7.18 ERA) vs. RHP Marcus Stroman (11-6, 3.08 ERA)
Game 140 Pitching Matchup
fWAR
Farmer 26.1 24.4 7.0 5.22 0.1
Stroman 172.1 19.9 7.1 3.84 3.1
Earlier this week, Marcus Stroman's status for this start was up in the air. He was struck on the right elbow by a Mark Trumbo line drive in his last outing. It was his shortest start of the season, naturally, and the only one to last fewer than three innings. In fact, Stroman has been rather efficient this year. He is eighth in the American League in innings pitched, and has pitched into the seventh inning in 14 of his 28 starts.
That efficiency, paired with an ERA over a full run lower than 2016, will result in a lot of "Marcus Stroman is back!!!!1!" fanfare. However, Stroman's peripherals are nearly identical to what he posted last year when he ran a 4.37 ERA in 204 innings. His strikeout rate is nearly the same, while his walk rate is actually a little higher. While he is generating a little more soft contact this season, it's not enough to excuse such a massive difference in the number of runs he has allowed. Even his batting average on balls in play (BABIP) is within five points of what he managed last year.
Normally, I'd look at Stroman's 3.84 FIP and suggest that he's due for a little bit of regression. However, he is generating ground balls at a 60 percent clip, a solid recipe for generating easy outs. We have seen Michael Fulmer out-perform his FIP in a similar way — Stroman also has an excellent changeup at his disposal — and the Jays' young righthander has also done a good job at limiting the home run ball.
Key matchup: Nicholas Castellanos vs. fly balls
Castellanos is starting in right field and batting third on Friday.
If the Jays offense is really as bad as the numbers suggest, Farmer should be able to keep them in check. The aforementioned theory that he rolls against bad offenses is based on a very small sample of starts, of course, but it passes the sniff test. However, given his home run troubles in his last few starts, I'm not sure Rogers Centre is the right environment for him. It might take a little while, but the Jays could break this one open in the middle innings.
Stroman and the Jays win easily.

This paper examines the role and status of Network Rail, a very significant example of New Labour's attempt to operationalize the 'third way'. A number of significant changes have occurred since its creation which make Network Rail's position as a private company with private sector debt appear increasingly anomalous. These changes include: the reclassification of the debt of another rail company from private to public, and the introduction of 'imputed debt' into public sector debt measurement; new funding arrangements for Network Rail which make it heavily dependent on public support; and important rail regulatory policy changes. The paper demonstrates that Network Rail is a very expensive mechanism for channelling public money to private companies, and argues that the Labour Government's attempt to maintain the company's private sector status as part of its third way approach is ultimately untenable.

Office 2010: Microsoft Seeking 'Road Warriors'
Written by Dave Courbanou 1
Here's an interesting tidbit out of Redmond: Microsoft is looking for "Road Warriors" to work with their New Zealand branch. The deal? Up to $43,000, but you'll have to hustle around for four months touting the awesomeness of Office 2010 Suite. Think you're up for the task?
Microsoft is nearly daring you to try and do this, as though it's the impossible.
Think you've got what it takes to be a Microsoft Office 2010 Road Warrior? If you do, a four-month contract and up to $43,000 could be yours as part of a new campaign to deliver the Office 2010 message to New Zealand businesses. The search is now on for five Road Warriors to work with Ingram Micro and Express Data. The mission: to each visit 200 medium-sized businesses around the country to champion the benefits of the upcoming Office 2010 productivity suite, while sharing their experience with others via social media.
Bloggin' Up Office 2010?
Okay, so what does that mean exactly? I think Microsoft is looking for over-exuberant marketing whizzes to pack up their bags, make a bunch of excited speeches, and BLOG about it. They admit that the job will be "frenetic" and only for the "right salesperson", but honestly, It doesn't seem like this is the approach that Microsoft should be taking about their software.
"A key factor [of the Road Warrior program] is a command of social media tools…" along with the responsibility to "present [Office] to customers and document their experience."
There's a bit of an English grammar problem here. Are we talking about the Road Warrior documenting their experience, or the experience the customer had dealing with Microsoft software (a-la the Mojave Experiment)? Let's go with the former, since it seems less weird.
Let me picture how this would work: After an event, the spokesperson takes a bunch of digital pictures, uploads them to Facebook and tweets about it. Okay. So, who'll be following him or her? Why would they be following? More importantly, if Microsoft is looking to market the suite out to business and consumers alike, what businesses are letting their employees use social networking, and what consumers have an undying affection for Office software that'd they follow a marketing spokesperson on their Twitter feed?
Maybe I don't have a solution to the problem, but I seriously doubt that this is the way to get people excited about another speed bump in a long line of nearly-redundant Office upgrades.
That being said: if evangelizing Microsoft sounds like the sort of thing you'd like to get involved in (and if you do, come back and let us know how it went) you have 'till February 18th to get your application in. March 2nd marks the choosing of the 5 and from there on, it's a mystery.

21 Beautiful Strong Black Love Quotes
Love is something that transcends color, age, and social status. Whether it is two black people deeply in love or an interracial couple, the power of love has no bounds. Expressing these powerful feelings through words can help strengthen a relationship and make it even more special. This article will focus on strong black love quotes that perfectly encapsulate the beauty of being in a loving relationship with someone who understands you.
Affirmations of the Strength of Black Love
Black love is the greatest force on earth, capable of withstanding any obstacle or challenge. It is a beautiful thing, transcending all boundaries and surpassing all expectations. Affirmation of this strength starts in our homes, where we are taught to cherish each other as individuals and as a collective unit. We learn to stand together no matter what life throws at us, knowing that our love for each other can withstand anything.
Our black love provides us with the support we need to make it through difficult times – whether it's an economic crisis or a global pandemic – and gives us the courage to become the best versions of ourselves. Whether through music, art or literature, we are constantly reminded that our connections to one another empower us and give us strength.
Here Are the Best Strong Black Love Quotes
Love is a powerful emotion that can bring people together in amazing ways. It's even more powerful when it's shared between two strong black individuals who have found each other and are ready to embark on a journey together. To celebrate this special kind of bond, we've compiled some of the best strong black love quotes to help inspire and uplift couples everywhere.
"Unconditional love will have the final word in reality."
Love is a powerful emotion that transcends time, space, and all obstacles. Unconditional love has been described as the highest form of love, where there are no conditions or expectations placed in order to receive it. It can be hard to comprehend this idea at first, but the quote brings clarity to what unconditional love truly means; it will always have the final word in reality.
Unconditional love is defined by its lack of conditions or expectations which makes it a very freeing emotion. It is given freely and unselfishly with no expectation of receiving anything back in return. This type of love strengthens relationships and provides an ever-lasting bond because it does not depend on any other external factors for its existence or validity.
When unconditional love is present, we experience an ultimate freedom from fear since we know that no matter what happens our relationship will remain strong and secure.
"Out of love, no regrets-though the goodness be wasted forever. Out of love, no regrets–though the return be never."
-Langston Hughes
"Don't ever think I fell for you or fell over you. I didn't fall in love, I rose in it."
"The times may have changed, but the people are still the same. We're still looking for love, and that will always be our struggle as human beings."
"We choose love. Our love for our children. Our commitment to leaving them a better world. Our love for our country … our love for our fellow citizens … that's what we choose."
"Finding love within yourself is truly an act of God. Love is about accepting everything about yourself."
–Ntozake Shange
This insightful quote speaks to the importance of self-love. When we can accept and love ourselves, it is truly an act of God. It can be difficult to make peace with our flaws, but by understanding and cherishing what makes us unique, we are free to put our best selves forward in life.
True love starts from within. It is not about finding perfections or trying to change ourselves; rather it means embracing who we are at our core and recognizing the beauty in imperfection. By taking time for self-reflection and being kinder towards ourselves, we open up a world of possibilities. We become more confident in how we present ourselves as well as how we approach relationships with others.
Love is not just a feeling – it's also an action that involves self-care and choosing empathy over judgment.
"The greatest lie ever told about love is that it sets you free."
–Zadie Smith
"Love means accepting many faults and taking revenge out of your vocabulary. If you love someone, let go of the pain and move on with that person."
"Being in love with someone will make you come out of your comfort zone. "
-Zora Neale Hurston
"I found god in myself and I loved her- I loved her fiercely"
"I am grateful to have been loved, and to be loved now and to be able to love. Because love liberates."
"A man who isn't willing to fight for love will always be alone."
Love is an emotion that requires strength and courage to pursue. It takes a special type of person to put themselves out there and fight for something they truly care about, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.
The quote "A man who isn't willing to fight for love will always be alone" serves as a reminder of this truth. It speaks volumes to how serious one should take their relationships and how much effort they need to put in if they want them to last. This quote also acts as a warning – if someone isn't willing to go all-in, then they won't find success in love. Putting forth effort is essential when it comes to matters of the heart, otherwise people risk being left without companionship or intimacy in life.
"Love is so blind it feels right when it's wrong."
"Paradise is one's own place, one's own people, one's own world, knowing and known, perhaps even loving and loved."
"Love takes off the masks we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within."
"Love is a feeling that's similar to being on a tropical island. It makes you feel like you are safe and living in a peaceful world. Love will bring you peace and joy."
"Love sometimes means letting go of something that isn't right for you. It's important to walk away from toxic people and things going on in your life. Love gives you strength and courage."
"Love is an endless act of forgiveness. Forgiveness is me giving up the right to hurt you for hurting me."
This quote is an inspiring reminder of the power of love. Love isn't just the romanticized notion we often think of; it's more than just a feeling, it's an act. The act of forgiveness is one that takes courage and strength, but when done with love in our hearts, it can bring us even closer to understanding what true unconditional love really is.
By forgiving someone for hurting us, we are giving up our right to retaliate and instead opening up our hearts to showing them compassion and mercy. This can be difficult if we feel hurt by their actions, but ultimately this act of kindness may be the very thing that helps heal any wounds between you both. When we choose to forgive out of love rather than hate or resentment, it helps create a bond that cannot easily be broken – a bond built on trust and understanding.
"To truly love we must learn to mix various ingredients – care, affection, recognition, respect, commitment, and trust, as well as honest and open communication."
"When you love and accept yourself when you know who really cares about you, and you learn from your mistakes, then you stop caring about what people who don't know you think."
"Love can hurt, but it shouldn't stop you from pursuing it. When you love someone, you shouldn't regret it. The feeling is worth all of the pain you may endure from it."
What is the most romantic quote ever?
"You are my heart, my life, my one and only thought."
What is true black love?
Black love is the acknowledgment of making sacrifices.
What's a powerful word for love?
Fondness, Affection, Devotion, and Adoration.
In conclusion, strong black love quotes are a reminder of the resilience and power in Black love. They are an encouragement to keep loving, keep fighting, and to never give up on each other. There is something so beautiful, so magical about Black love that we should strive to take care of it every day. May these quotes remind us all to honor and nurture our relationships with loved ones, for that is what gives life its richest reward.

louisstow: If you have the setTimeout at the befinning of the loop you shouldn't get delays.
surely there should be something to sync animations - so they all occur in the same event loop ?
How would you modify the latest jQuery with this shim and should I expect any performance improvements??
setTimeout is many times inaccurate, and so is setInterval. More importantly, however, setTimeout(1000/60) doesn't take into account where we are wrt to the next vsync (it always assume we have the full frame time ahead of us), so it needs to align to the "independent" intervals of an imaginary vsync signal.
var now = (window.performance && window.performance.now) ?
// setTimeout can return early, make sure to target the next frame.
now = this.lastTarget + 0.01; // Floating point errors may result in just too early.

Hi @mrdoob, why do we need the /* DOMElement Element */ element in the function?
@buttflattery I know this is an old post, but I'm replying for any future people who see this. You use 1000 / 60 because it results to around 16.667 milliseconds. If you were to use this number, it would call the render function almost exactly 60 times per second, meaning 60 FPS. You could easily do 1000 / 80 to get 80 FPS if you really wanted, but 60 FPS is a common number for monitor refresh rates. If you were to use 1000 as the delay, then you would only get 1 frame per second.

Q: AutoSize Columns Header I have a string grid that's linked to a FDMemTable and when I run the AutoSize procedure (that I added to its class helper) for the first time everything is perfect.
After that, when I try reopening the FDMemTable my Header goes back to the default size but the other lines stay the same.
My procedure is as follows:
procedure TStringGridHelper.AutoSizeCols;
var
  i, W, WMax: integer;
  Column : Integer;
begin
  for Column := 0 to Self.ColumnCount-1 do
  begin
    if Self.ColumnByIndex(Column).Width > 0 then
    begin
      WMax := Round(Canvas.TextWidth(Self.ColumnByIndex(Column).Header));
      for i := 0 to (Self.RowCount - 1) do begin
        W := Round(Canvas.TextWidth(Self.Cells[Column, i]));
        if W > WMax then
          WMax := W;
        if WMax > SizeMax then
        begin
          WMax := SizeMax;
          Break;
        end;
      end;
      Self.ColumnByIndex(Column).Width := WMax + 10;
    end;
  end;
end;

If I resize a column manually it goes back to normal.
I'm using XE7 and its a Multi-Device Application (FireMonkey)

A: This is looks like Delphi XE7 Update 1 bug.
On Delphi XE8 your code works well.

On Delphi XE7 Update1 it's looks weird.

A: By Changing the FDMemTable's (to any field) it got back to normal.

Makonnen Kenya: 'Align yourself with people who care about your voice'
February 27, 2022 February 28, 2022 by Gavin Barrett
It is Black History Month, and every day this month, The Message is sharing Gavin Barrett's short profiles of Black professionals from across the industry—marketing, advertising, PR, media and production. Barrett writes the profiles as a way to "fight invisibility," an exercise in representation for an industry where representation must get better.
When Makonnen Kenya was little, he paid more attention to commercials than to TV shows. He was fascinated by advertising's chameleon forms and how messaging reached and persuade people without them realizing it.
Now a fourth-year Humber Bachelor of Creative Advertising (BoCA) student, looking forward to a career that lasts decades, Mack is on the hunt for an internship. It's been challenging, he says.
Still he has fantastic individuals who believe in him—he names his program coordinator Richard Bingham and the stellar professors at Humber. And he gives his family and family friends in the profession a special shoutout—his mom is a graphic and presentation designer, and his maternal grandmother has a graphic design background. "From them, I've learned the importance of diligent work, research and keeping one's skills up to date," he says.
Mack tells me about a recent Humber eSports assignment that taught him the value of teamwork, perseverance and how to create effective work for an unfamiliar category. When their six-person team was cut down to two, Mack and his partner Atlas Ranjbari came up with a brand identity, collateral and an awareness campaign. When their case study video was screened (the next afternoon!) the program coordinator singled it out for special recognition.
Mack is inspired by Putney Swope the curmudgeonly anti-hero of the eponymously named black comedy and by Barbara Gardner Proctor, the first African-American woman agency founder. She established Proctor and Gardner because the agency she worked for wasn't speaking to African-Americans with an authentic Black voice.
To become more inclusive, Mack suggests the industry stop looking in the same old places because it ensures they'll hire the same type of people. "Not every creative has… the opportunity to go to design school," Mack says. He feels we need to groom talent earlier in their education, that company cultures need redesigning to actively include individuals from different groups, and that we should reward those who learn from and about other people.
Advice for young Black talent? "Never be deterred from your goals. Align yourself with people who genuinely care about your voice and experience," says Mack.
Mack's side hustle is instrumental hip-hop. Recently, he remixed musical cues from the animated series Little Bear, a personal favourite, and produced and edited a music video for one of the songs.
Mack wants to do work that gives "BIPOC like myself the platforms to share our experiences and broadcast our voices." He supports BIPOC entrepreneurs like Paulla McCarthy, the first Black woman in New York State to own and operate a water bottling plant and aquifer.
Her story inspired Mack's Humber packaging assignment. He came up with a Black-owned water bottle brand called OURWTR, using a minimalist design aesthetic and a predominantly black palette (a nod to Paulla's African-American heritage), in an eco-conscious package using very little plastic. A recycled plastic window in the shape of the primary graphic, a water droplet, is die-cut into the front to reveal the water inside.

Call for Proposals:Top-20 Innovations for Smallholder farmers.
Capacity Development / Opportunities
CTA is calling for proposals on innovations in use or have potential in smallholder agricultural production systems in ACP countries and which if known and widely promoted can benefit other farming communities.
From among the applicants, an international jury, comprising a multi-disciplinary team of experts drawn from agricultural research, academia, extension and farmers' organizations will select a shortlist (40-50) which will then be voted on by farmers. The final top 20 will be selected by an international panel of experts.
CTA is a joint international institution of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States and the European Union (EU). Its mission is to advance food and nutrition security, increase prosperity and encourage sound natural resource management in ACP countries.
Successful applicants (CTA top 20) will be given a grant of 5,000 Euros to elaborate their 'innovation' as a guidebook (for which they will receive support from the jury members); and invited to a cross-learning workshop where they will also work with an editor and an artist to finalize the guidebook which explains the innovation and the design of a brochure and a poster which can be disseminated to the public at large (for use, inter alia, by extension agents).
All materials will be made available in English and French, and will be widely distributed in ACP countries. A media campaign will be organized to draw to the attention of the public and policy makers of the possibilities that these innovations carry to significantly improve smallholders' lives.
A maximum of € 100 000 is available for this grant.
Applicant can be organizations such as research institutes, extension agencies, farmers' organizations and NGOs, or individuals working with such organizations. The innovations need to be well-articulated using the format provided, and proof that this innovation has been adopted by farmers or has the potential to benefit famers in ACP countries is necessary.

South Africa's demolition job on England killed off any hopes of West Indies getting back-door entry into the semi-finals, and they now go into Thursday's game against Bangladesh with only pride on the line. It will have escaped no one's attention that West Indies are currently level on points with Bangladesh and Ireland, an unacceptable state of affairs in a region that dominated the game for nearly two decades.
For Brian Lara, the tie against Bangladesh will mark his 298th in West Indian colours and the penultimate step on a journey that started on a November day in Karachi more than 16 years ago. It will forever be a source of regret for Lara that for all his individual achievements, West Indies accomplished little at the five World Cups that he was part of. Apart from the semi-final that Shane Warne stole from them at Mohali in 1996, each campaign has been as abysmal as the other.
"The two remaining games are of utmost importance to us," he said on the eve of Thursday's game. "It's important that we do start the second round. We still haven't actually. We want to finish on a high. These next two matches are of no consequence in terms of the World Cup, but they are very important for us, and the guys are fully aware of that."
The West Indian meltdown in the Super Eights, after they topped their first-round group, has been one of the most disappointing aspects of this competition, but Lara wasn't interested in playing the blame game. "This is not the time for condemnation but constructive criticism," he said. "We just did not play good cricket, we were beaten by better teams on the day. We have disappointed ourselves and our fans."
He accepted, however, that the prime reason for the debacle was the failure of the marquee players to deliver when it mattered most. "A lot of our seniors, including myself, have not performed like seniors in other prominent teams have done," he said. "The contributions from the seniors and the experienced players in the reason why teams like Australia, South Africa and Sri Lanka are in the semi-finals."
Several former players were scathing in their assessment of the team's performances against the tournament's best sides, with Colin Croft in particular pinpointing the lack of intensity at training sessions. According to Lara, such things were par for the course when things were going wrong. "There's no lethargy in the team and the boys are very upbeat," he said. "The result yesterday cast us out of the competition. The guys tried their best and have been under a lot of scrutiny lately. Unfortunately, that goes with the fact that we are not playing well.
"Bennett King and the support staff have been working really hard, but our trainer left last December, and we not had a trainer since. That is no fault of the players. The players are trying their best, but it is difficult at this time without a professional trainer."
With the pressure off, West Indies will hope to express themselves as best they can in front of the disappointed home support. As for Bangladesh, they have already embarrassed India and South Africa, but Habibul Bashar, the captain, brushed off suggestions that West Indies would be an easier mark.
"I don't think so," he said. "They're still a good team. For us, it doesn't matter who we play. It's how we play on that particular day. We beat India and South Africa, but also lost other games quite easily."
That inconsistency ruined any chance of a semi-final place, and the 74-run loss to rank outsiders Ireland was hugely disappointing for a team looking to kick on after the famous victory against South Africa. "There's been a big contrast in our performances," admitted Bashar. "Some days we're one of the best fielding sides. Other days, we're ordinary. It's very important that we learn to be consistent in all three departments of the game."
Bangladesh have only come close to beaten West Indies once in 12 attempts, at St Vincent three years ago, but such statistics didn't really worry Bashar. "Before we played South Africa [in Guyana], we had never beaten them before," he said. "Winning any game at the World Cup is very important for Bangladesh. We don't want to be No.8 in the Super Eights."
What is a worry is his form, or lack of it. "As captain, you always want to do something, to set an example for other players," he said. "It's important for me and my side that I score some runs."
In many ways he might do well to learn from his younger team-mates, who've shown oodles of confidence - perhaps too much at times - and no fear when confronted by illustrious opponents. "Bangladesh are really competitive in the Under-19s, and the boys think they can win," said Bashar, when asked about the impact of the youth brigade. "They have come to this level with that frame of mind."
It makes for a fascinating contest, a dead rubber with a fair bit at stake. "We have been disappointing," said Lara. "For Bangladesh, every game against the Test-playing nations is of utmost importance and we are aware of that. We don't want to be one of their victims. We want to come out and play our best cricket. Everyone wants to finish on a high, and we want to win back the support of the fans."
You sense that it will take more than one win to do that.

Zagreb (disambiguation)
Zagreb County (former)
Zagreb (Croatian pronunciation: [zǎːɡreb];names in other languages) is the capital and the largest city of the Republic of Croatia. It is located in the northwest of the country, along the Sava river, at the southern slopes of the Medvednica mountain. Zagreb lies at an elevation of approximately 122 m (400 ft) above sea level. In the last official census of 2011 the population of the City of Zagreb was 790,017. The wider Zagreb metropolitan area includes the City of Zagreb and the separate Zagreb County bringing the total metropolitan area population up to 1,113,111. It is the biggest metropolitan area in Croatia with a population of over one million.
Zagreb is a city with a rich history dating from the Roman times to the present day. The oldest settlement located in the vicinity of the city was the Roman Andautonia, in today's Ščitarjevo. The name "Zagreb" is mentioned for the first time in 1094 at the founding of the Zagreb diocese of Kaptol, and Zagreb became a free royal town in 1242, whereas the origin of the name still remains a mystery in spite of several theories. In 1851 Zagreb had its first mayor, Janko Kamauf, and in 1945 it was made the capital of Croatia when the demographic boom and the urban sprawl made the city as it is known today.

Zagreb County (Croatian: Zagrebačka županija; Hungarian: Zágráb vármegye) was a historic administrative subdivision (županija) of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia. Croatia-Slavonia was an autonomous kingdom within the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen (Transleithania), the Hungarian part of the dual Austro-Hungarian Empire. Its territory is now in northern Croatia. The capital of the county was Zagreb.
Zagreb County shared borders with the Austrian lands Styria, Carniola and Bosnia-Herzegovina and the counties of Varaždin County, Bjelovar-Križevci, Požega and Modruš-Rijeka (all in Croatia-Slavonia). The river Sava flows through the county. Its area was 7210 km² around 1910.
The territory of the Zagreb County was part of the Kingdom of Croatia when it entered a personal union with the Kingdom of Hungary in 1102, and with it became part of the Habsburg Monarchy in 1526. Zagreb County was re-established after it was liberated from Ottoman occupation in the early 18th century. In 1918 (confirmed by the Treaty of Trianon 1920), the county became part of the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Yugoslavia). Since 1991, when Croatia became independent from Yugoslavia, the county is part of the Republic of Croatia.

Passenger takes over driving taxi after cop pepper sprays driver
By Karabo Ledwaba - 03 July 2019 - 17:26
A passenger had to make a hasty decision to chuck off her high heels and take over the driving of a taxi after the driver was allegedly pepper sprayed by a metro cop.
Tshepiso Shongwe told SowetanLIVE that she was in a taxi on the way to Noord taxi rank earlier on Wednesday morning when the driver made an illegal move into oncoming traffic.
"We were stopped by metro police but because the driver started fighting, then he got pepper sprayed," she said.
Shongwe, who was on her way to her job at a bank, said all the passengers had to evacuate the taxi.
"Another taxi driver came and offered to take us to Noord but he wanted us to pay," she said.
The 35-year-old mother of two, who holds a code 14 driver's licence, said all the passengers complained until the pepper-sprayed driver asked if someone could drive the taxi.
"I decided to drive the taxi but it's a skorokoro and had to have him help me drive by changing the gears," she said.
Tshepiso Shongsta Shongwe
In the video that is making the rounds on social media, the driver can be seen writhing in pain in the passenger seat.
"I didn't want to show my fear because people were depending on me. But people started saying 'sho't'left' and getting off the taxi as usual," she said.
Shongwe received R20 from the taxi driver as a token of appreciation after they reached their destination.
Ralph Jones Chairperson for the Johannesburg Region of SANTACO said they were not aware of the incident.
"We are not aware of this video but it is scary if Metro Police can come and pepper spray our drivers. If he did something wrong then they should have given him a ticket or arrested him. I have never heard of such a thing before where a passenger drives. If she does not have a PDP then something worse could of happened. We will look into it," he said.
Metro police spokesperson Chief Supt Wayne Minnaar said that he was not aware of the incident but would look into it. "If the person who was driving the taxi does not have the relevant documents to drive, then that would have been illegal and we will have to investigate. I don't see how the police would have let her drive without the documents."
"The JMPD thanks Sowetan for bringing this to our attention and it will be referred to internal affairs for investigation," he added.

Character: Pery Clearlight, Warlock (Hexblade), Dead Rat Deserter
Here's another character app for a game that fizzled before it get started. I really like this one. I'd just read Erik Scott de Bie's Shadowbane at the time I wrote this, and used that book to frame his background. The game was to be set in the Neverwinter 4e campaign setting, and I think would have been a lot of fun. I may hang onto him and submit him for the next Forgotten Realms game I see that seems to have promise.
And yes, I know, another character who has lost his parents. But when you're born in Luskan and fall into the Dead Rats, that's almost a given, isn't it?
Name: Pery Clearlight
Race: Halfling
Class: Warlock (Hexblade: Fey Pact)
Theme: Dead Rat Deserter
Role: Striker
Physical Description and Personality: Small, even by Halfling standards, Pery stands just shy of four feet tall, with a mop of dark brown hair that he keeps tucked under his trademark green checkered cap. Nevertheless, he exudes a combination of delightful charisma and bravado that many find charming. While his language betrays his upbringing on the chaotic streets of Luskan, and his blue eyes tell of an eventful life, he nevertheless manages to portray himself as pleasant and, when circumstances allow, almost happy-go-lucky individual.
Background: Pery was born on the streets of Luskan. He doesn't know much about his parents. He has blurry memories of his mother from early in his childhood--one night, she just didn't come home--and he knows nothing of his father. From an early age, he had to make his own way. Even his last name is his own design--he borrowed it, as he'd "borrowed" many things in his life--from a temple dedicated to Tymora in southeast Luskan.
If one is to survive on the streets of Luskan as a child, one has little better prospects than to fall in with one of the local street gangs. For Pery, that was the Dead Rats. By age 10, he was scrubbing the floors at the Drowned Rat Tavern, and by his late teens he'd graduated to the role of a minor thug within the gang. His days were filled with the usual: extortion, theft, bullying, and so on.
He continued to move up through the ranks, and his prowess with his words and blade eventually caught the eye of Toytere: King Toy, the captain of the Dead Rats. In a ceremony in the dead of night, Toytere infected Pery with lycanthropy, granting him admission into the inner circle of the gang--an honor shared by only 20 others.
Gang life wore on Pery, though. While he enjoyed the mayhem and intrigue that went with the job, the brutal reality of the enterprise was a poor match for his sensibilities. He'd pulled himself up by his bootstraps with no small help from Lady Luck. But his duties to the gang required that he erase the limited opportunities of others.
One night, Pery was ordered to conduct an assassination. It would be his first, and success would undoubtedly raise his stock even further within the gang. Nevertheless, the target was guilty of little more than the loss of a small treasure when he was ambushed while serving as a courier. When Pery arrived at his target's house, the man, his wife, and his children were eating what passed as dinner. Pery just couldn't do it. Instead, he helped the family escape from town in the dead of night. Just as they were about to clear the walls, a group of Dead Rats jumped them. Pery held them off long enough for the family to flee--they were headed north toward Ten Towns--but the halfling was overmatched.
It's hard to explain what happened next. One moment, he was diving back, fleeing from the Dead Rats' enforcer as she spun her horrible axe toward his skull. The next, he was on his back in the snow. It was summertime in Luskan, so he knew that something unexpected had happened. Furthermore, as he sat up, he saw no signs of his former allies; just a cold, vibrant, frost-covered forest.
What happened next? That's something that Pery doesn't talk much about. It is clear that he entered into a pact with a powerful entity of some sort in that forest. And with that pact, he received a new set of powers, including a rapier covered in frost that he can summon into his hand at will, humming and quivering with energy. With those powers, of course, came equally powerful commitments.
After the deal was made, his patron returned him to Faerun, though fortunately a bit further to the south, near Port Llast. From there, he made his way to Neverwinter, joined an adventuring guild, and had begun to carve out a minor niche for himself as someone who could get things done. It was in this capacity that he received the summons from Belias Grigor, requesting his aide in an act of community service.

Neat character! Kinda makes me wanna start up yet another campaign just to give people a chance to play characters like this (and to give myself a chance to watch them develop!).
Berliad March 16, 2013 at 12:06 AM
Yeah, he would have been fun. I'll hopefully get to play him at some point. I've been keeping an eye open for a FR game, or some other game that I can shoehorn him into. I don't know if I have the time for more games right now anyway!

One Month Left to See Mapplethorpe-Smith Show at Selby Gardens
"Flowers, Poetry, and Light" Pairs Art of Photographer Robert Mapplethorpe and Poet/Singer-Songwriter Patti Smith for First Time Ever in a Botanical Garden Setting
An immersive, multisensory art exhibition that Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Patti Smith has called "beguiling" is entering its final month on view at the Downtown Sarasota campus of Marie Selby Botanical Gardens.
Robert Mapplethorpe and Patti Smith: Flowers, Poetry, and Light pairs the iconic flower photography of Mapplethorpe with the nature-inspired lyrics \and poetry of Smith, set in dialogue with original horticultural installations created by the Selby Gardens staff. The indoor-outdoor show will remain on view through Sunday, June 26, throughout the 15-acre campus.
"This is the sixth edition of our Jean & Alfred Goldstein Exhibition, and many return visitors have called it our best yet," said Jennifer O. Rominiecki, president and CEO of Selby Gardens. "To see Robert Mapplethorpe's exquisite flower photography illuminated by the vivid words of Patti Smith is a profound and enlightening experience. Add in the stunning vignettes of 'living art' created by our talented Selby Gardens horticulture team, and you have a multidisciplinary show that is truly one of a kind."
Flowers, Poetry, and Light is built around six photogravures created by Mapplethorpe in the 1980s at Graphicstudio, the studio and print workshop at University of South Florida in Tampa, which generously loaned the pieces to Selby Gardens for display in its Museum of Botany & the Arts. But the heart of the Gardens-wide exhibition is the relationship between Mapplethorpe and creative soulmate Smith, who emerged together as vanguard artists in 1970s New York City, and the effect each had on the other's legendary artistic output.

The show begins before guests even enter the Gardens, with a spectacular yellow trumpet tree outside the Welcome Center set in a black-and-white, cube-like frame, suggesting Mapplethorpe's famous use of geometric frames and light and shadow. Once inside, visitors proceed through Selby Gardens' world-renowned Tropical Conservatory, which has been transformed through a series of vignettes to evoke a photographer's studio and gallery featuring "living art" in the form of framed and suspended plants, a foliage-filled gallery space, and more. Back outside in the Gardens, guests will encounter eight more original, plant-centric installations inspired by the artists' work before arriving at the Museum, housed in the historic Payne Mansion. The Museum installation includes three galleries, which first tell the artists' shared story through reproductions of archival photographs taken by their peers before diverging to explore Smith's and Mapplethorpe's respective artistic evolutions.
The exhibition attracted Smith herself to visit and perform at Selby Gardens twice this year, in February and again in April. At the second performance, CEO Rominiecki announced that Smith had accepted the invitation to become Selby Gardens' first Artist in Residence, with return visits being planned for 2023 and 2024.
Robert Mapplethorpe and Patti Smith: Flowers, Poetry, and Light continues at Selby Gardens' Downtown Sarasota campus through June 26. Access to the show is included in general admission. Tickets may be purchased online at selby.org or in person at the Welcome Center. Selby Gardens' Downtown Sarasota campus is located at 1534 Mound Street.


Strength and conditioning routines must emphasize quality over quantity. Lengthy training sessions are often the result of excess rest between sets or a lack of intensity. When you train with intensity, you can often achieve more, in less time. Consider the fighter who jogs 5 miles at a leisurely pace. His roadwork session will average 40 minutes or more. Based on the total time spent training (quantity), this fighter believes he has trained with intensity.
Now compare his 40 minutes of slow paced jogging to the routine listed below. This brief (but intense) routine can serve as a morning conditioning session.
To perform this routine, you will start with 12 burpees. Upon completing your 12th repetition, you will immediately proceed with a 100-meter sprint. Upon completing the sprint, you will drop down and perform 10 plyometric pushups. Focus on exploding your hands into the air during each pushup. Many individuals add a handclap to the movement after thrusting the hands into the air.
There is no rest between exercises. After completing 10 pushups, you will jog back to the starting line (active rest), and proceed through the entire routine. Complete this cycle 6-10 times. This routine will require a fraction of the time necessary to jog 5 miles. Yet despite the minimal time requirement, the intensity of this brief routine will blow away any jogging session.
You do not need equipment, just the will to succeed. This routine focuses on explosive power, endurance, and speed. These attributes are essential for all combat athletes. You can perform this brief routine 2 to 3 times per week. Do not perform this routine on consecutive days. More lengthy (sustained) runs can be performed on alternate days for general conditioning and to assist with recovery between these more intense conditioning challenges. Even when running distance however, focus on keeping a brisk pace. Pushing yourself to maintain a brisk pace over several miles is much different than leisurely jogging through the distance with minimal effort.
Training is like many things in life. You get what you put into it.

540 Cruisers will Sail to Kotor Port in 2020
Visit Montenegro News
In recent years, Kotor enjoys an increase of international tourists, many of them visiting it via cruise ships. Visitors are attracted by both the old town and gulf's scenic beauty. Along with one of Adriatic's best-preserved medieval old towns, Kotor is also famous for Saint Tryphon Cathedral (1166-built) and the city walls stretching for 4,5 km above the town.
During 2020, 540 cruisers will sail to the Kotor Harbor.
The first arrival this year was recorded on January 3, when Costa Deliziosa sailed to the port.
"The first larger ship will sail again on April 1st. It is a cruiser – Aida Blu, and in the meantime, we have the constant arrivals of Athens and Artemis, smaller ships with a length of 58.80 m and 1,206 GRT," said the representatives of Port of Kotor.
Last year, 529 smaller and larger cruise ships sailed to Boka Kotorska bay, with more than 600,000 tourists.
The Port of Kotor is 15 minutes to Tivat Airport and 90 minutes to Podgorica airport and Dubrovnik Airport.

'DISTRESSING': Three assaults in nine days in emergency dept
Lismore Base Hospital in Lismore.
26th Aug 2020 12:00 AM
UPDATE 2.50pm: NORTHERN NSW Local Health District boss Wayne Jones said Sunday's assault on two staff members in the emergency department of Lismore Base Hospital was distressing.
Mr Jones said the incident, in which a female nurse was hit in the head and a male wardsman bitten in the face, had been reported to police and forecast improvements in the emergency department to combat such behaviour.
"Our staff do their best to provide professional and compassionate treatment to all patients, and the incident at Lismore Base Hospital on August 23 that was reported to police, is distressing. We are continuing to support the two staff members affected," he said.
"A quality improvement project to improve the patient experience and safety of care in our ED is already underway.
"This will include a number of aspects, such as reviewing the ED assessment area, strategies to reduce seclusion and restraint, trauma-informed care training for ED staff, and additional measures to improve our triage capabilities.
Further in-house de-escalation training for staff will also take place, above the mandated requirements.
Across NSW, $19 million has been invested to improve security in emergency departments at public hospitals. A further $5 million has been invested on duress alarms for staff in emergency departments."
Mr Jones said the NSW Government was also rolling out a ground breaking program called PACER. (Police Ambulance and Clinical Early Response) This program allows mental health clinicians to be based at a police station so when an emergency call comes in then the clinician attends with the police on scene.
"They are there to provide expertise and de-escalate, assess, triage then refer to appropriate services. It's the mental health clinician who makes the call as to what the next best step is, whether it be that the person does need to go to emergency, or they may be able to have follow up care at home," he said.
Already running in a number of metro locations, Northern NSW LHD is adapting this innovative model through a co-design process with NSW Police and NSW Ambulance services to work as a virtual mental health service which will be tailored to meet the needs of the region.
Original story: A NURSE was allegedly hit in the head, nearly bitten and had a female patient wrap her legs around her in another frightening assault at Lismore Base Hospital on Sunday.
A few hours later, the same aggressive patient is alleged to have bitten a male wardsman in the face.
It brings the total number of assaults at the hospital to three in the space of nine days.
On August 15, a female nurse was allegedly punched in the face by a patient, 37, in the emergency department, suffering severe bruising and pain.
The source who reported Sunday's alleged assaults said it had taken place in the emergency department in full view of children, the elderly and other patients.
It's led to calls for security to be beefed up in the emergency department with a full-time guard on call.
The alleged assaults on Sunday have been reported to police.
Earlier this week, Northern NSW Local Health District chief executive Wayne Jones, chief executive said the organisation had "a zero tolerance approach to violence and aggression in our facilities".
He said the hospital had "robust security measures and strict policies in place to protect staff, patients and visitors and respond to any aggressive behaviour."
Mr Jones said across NSW, $19 million has been invested to improve security in emergency departments at public hospitals.
"A further $5 million has been invested on duress alarms for staff in emergency departments," he said.
"At Lismore Base Hospital this includes an additional health and security assistant in the emergency department overnight and ongoing training to prepare staff for violent or aggressive behaviour."
Richmond Police District Acting Inspector Anthony Smith said of the August 15 incident the alleged assailant was brought into the Lismore Base Hospital emergency department via ambulance.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Three top Yahoo Inc. executives are leaving the slumping Internet company in an exodus that could put CEO Carol Bartz on the hot seat as she approaches the end of her second year trying to engineer a turnaround.
The company disclosed the departures Thursday, confirming an earlier report published on the technology site All Things Digital.
The defecting executives are: Hilary Schneider, an executive vice president who oversaw Yahoo's advertising in the U.S.; David Ko, a senior vice president in charge of mobile and audience; and Jimmy Pitaro, a vice president who ran the division that produced the heavily trafficked news, sports and finance sections of Yahoo's website.
Bartz, known for her brash, sometimes profane language, has been cutting costs while trying to find ways to get people to spend more time on Yahoo's website instead of rapidly growing online hangouts such as Facebook and Twitter.
In doing so, Bartz also abandoned any hope of catching Google Inc. in the lucrative Internet search market. She has farmed out the bulk of the company's search technology to Microsoft Corp.'s Bing.
Although analysts have applauded Bartz for bringing more discipline to Yahoo, her strategy has yielded few dividends. Advertisers are still spending more at Google and Facebook, leaving Yahoo in a financial funk that began under her two predecessors, former movie mogul Terry Semel and company co-founder Jerry Yang.
Yahoo's stock price also has fallen by about 15 percent so far this year, leaving it even further below the $33 per share that Microsoft was prepared to pay to buy the entire company in May 2008. Yang balked at the offer, prompting Microsoft to withdraw the bid.
Yahoo shares fell 17 cents Thursday to close at $14.17.
Bartz, 62, has cautioned it could take several years to revive Yahoo and pointed out that Apple Inc. didn't become a Wall Street darling as soon as Steve Jobs returned to the company in 1997.
Yahoo's board gave Bartz a four-year contract when it hired her in January 2009.
But that the latest personnel losses could prompt some second-guessing about whether the board made the right choice, Kessler said, given that Bartz has been unable to stop an exodus of talent that began under Semel and Yang. "This will increase the wattage of the spotlight on that issue," he predicted.
Yahoo has persuaded Schneider to remain with the company while it searches for her replacement. The company hopes to fill that key job by the end of the year.
Ko is being succeeded by Raymond Stern, who joined the company last year as senior vice president of North America partnerships. Yahoo didn't announce who will replace Pitaro.
"We wish them all the best in their future endeavors," Yahoo said in a statement about the departing executives.


The Harris campaign and Red Dome Group have been issued subpoenas by the state board's investigators.
The Harris campaign owes $34,310 for "Reimbursement Payment for Bladen Absentee" according to the FEC document.
Harris was at his home Friday morning, but declined to talk with a reporter from The Charlotte Observer. A representative said he would not be available for comment.
