The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration
Isabel Wilkerson
Robin Miles
In this epic, beautifully written masterwork, Pulitzer Prize–winning author Isabel Wilkerson chronicles one of the great untold stories of American history: the decades-long migration of black citizens who fled the South for northern and western cities, in search of a better life.

From 1915 to 1970, this exodus of almost six million people changed the face of America. Wilkerson compares this epic migration to the migrations of other peoples in history. She interviewed more than a thousand people, and gained access to new data and official records, to write this definitive and vividly dramatic account of how these American journeys unfolded, altering our cities, our country, and ourselves.
With stunning historical detail, Wilkerson tells this story through the lives of three unique individuals: Ida Mae Gladney, who in 1937 left sharecropping and prejudice in Mississippi for Chicago, where she achieved quiet blue-collar success and, in old age, voted for Barack Obama when he ran for an Illinois Senate seat; sharp and quick-tempered George Starling, who in 1945 fled Florida for Harlem, where he endangered his job fighting for civil rights, saw his family fall, and finally found peace in God; and Robert Foster, who left Louisiana in 1953 to pursue a medical career, the personal physician to Ray Charles as part of a glitteringly successful medical career, which allowed him to purchase a grand home where he often threw exuberant parties.
Wilkerson brilliantly captures their first treacherous and exhausting cross-country trips by car and train and their new lives in colonies that grew into ghettos, as well as how they changed these cities with southern food, faith, and culture and improved them with discipline, drive, and hard work. Both a riveting microcosm and a major assessment, The Warmth of Other Suns is a bold, remarkable, and riveting work, a superb account of an "unrecognized immigration" within our own land. Through the breadth of its narrative, the beauty of the writing, the depth of its research, and the fullness of the people and lives portrayed herein, this book is destined to become a classic.
Griffin C.
This should be required reading for all schools. It defines the post war period very well. It shows that segregation didn't just end. It was a long, drawn out, very violent process.
Robert Tracy W
This book provided a much needed background to the civil progress in the American experience. Bravo Isabel Wilkerson for job well done.
Chauna J.
A must read.
Teresa B.
A brilliant book. Must read for every American. Read with convincing, compelling narration. Ms. Wilkerson provides chapters of history we should have studied but weren't taught in school nor in all the venues through which we have historically told our culture's story. Her book as an essential companion to now as what was once the Republican Party has become a cabal of America's misguided Marjorie Taylor Greens, Jim Crow, Trumped up lies and rage, in an escalating assault on democracy and decency.
Fascinating life stories illuminate the foundations of modern America. I was stunned by how little I knew about the Great Migration.
Susan W.
I am 71 years old and this is one of the mostly interesting and profound books I have read. This should be mandatory reading for all public schools. It's much better than most of the books they made me read in school. Seriously, read this book and you will understand first hand how post civil war America developed into what it is today.
Everyone should read this book!
Kay S.
Very descriptive and well written book. I am impressed with the extensive research that had to be done - and with the insights gained by traveling with these individual families through the many challenges of their lives. Very well written.
Lisa H
Brilliantly written! So vivid and descriptive. l found my story within the lives of these individuals. As a child born as a result of two families migrating from Texas and Louisiana, I found the historical accounts so accurate. I came to understand the struggles they encountered and gained deep respect for my foreparents who did the best they could to give me the advantages I enjoy. I appreciate the many hours it took to seamlessly tell these stories. I so enjoyed this book and enjoyed the narrator!
ivie a
very enlighting history book to listen to. Put a great deal of enlightenment in my mind, as I grew up as,a white baby boomer in texas away from the black conflicts. would recommend this to anyone who Will just open their minds to history and people. make no judgements. listen and ponder the facts.
Bruce Green
This was an extraordinary book. Beautifully read, always engaging and informative. It's like three biographies woven together to create a picture of American history I was never taught. In the end it forced be to reject some of the history I had been taught. Further it's enabled me to be more critical and more empathic when confronted with social and political issues of peoples from other cultures moving about the world looking for a better life. And it was entertaining, made me laugh at times, brought me to the edge of my seat and allowed me to transcend my life and enter into another world. Thank you.
Daryl O.
This is a must read (listen) for anyone really wanting to understand our nation's history. It's not always easy to hear the shameful chronicles of racism, but confronting this history is nonetheless cathartic in a sense, and leads to a fresher, more honest view of our culture, which lays the groundwork for a more equitable and joyful future. Excellent journalism.
Greenbird1571
My grandparents lived this experience in a unique way as they came from the Caribbean to the North. My parents in the 1980s came back South but both told us the stories of their lives. Listening to this book helped me understand them better and learn more about why they raised me as they did. Thank you Ms. Wilkerson and Ms. Miles.
Renee R.
This historical book reads like a novel! As a 55 year old black women I never read or have been told about the great migration. There were parts of this book that were hard to read. The evil that a group of humans can inflict on another group of humans is hard to take in. However, there were many parts of this book that made me laugh and smile. I am better for having read it.
This book was phenomenal! Taking us into the lives of actual people who came up through the migration was brilliant! It was not a stuffy history lesson. If history was taught like this in school I would've loved it. I loved the personal, first hand stories of the actual people but I also loved the backdrop of historical events and historical climate of the times these events happened. I learned so many things that I never knew about my own people. It inspired me to learn more about my own family. They never talked about their migration and now I see why. They didn't just leave places and family behind - they left trauma behind as well. This book helped me get a window into my own family member's lives. It has helped me to develop a deeper respect for members of my family and community.
Nadia R
Best book I have read on Black American history after emancipation.
Jackie Vance
I thought this would be a more general topic of the migration across America, but turns out to be focused on the drama of one black family. Disappointed to say the least.

We all need serious therapy!
We all need some form of therapy (or call it escape if you like) from the craziness of our lives. Two of my favorites are riding my mountain bike and writing.
I love getting out into nature and just pedaling away from my stress. I also love writing; stories, poetry, it doesn't really matter. I find both cathartic in very different ways.
I also find therapy in my faith, in music, in drawing and painting, in family and friends (at least some of them 🙂 ), and not to forget coffee and chocolate!
What works as therapy for you?

"The Prince" is a 16th-century political treatise by the Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolo Machiavelli. From correspondence a version appears to have been distributed in 1513, using a Latin title, De Principatibus (Of Principalities). However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. This was done with the permission of the Medici pope Clement VII, but "long before then, in fact since the first appearance of The Prince in manuscript, controversy had swirled about his writings".

The Textorcist
The Textorcist is a bullet hell where typing is your only weapon
By Fraser Brown
The power of text compels you!
If there's one thing the legions of Hell fear, it's a priest with solid typing skills, at least in The Textorcist, a bullet hell game where reciting scripture is the only way to defeat projectile-spewing demons. It's due out on February 14 because what says 'love' better than exorcising Satanic hordes? Take a gander at the trailer above.
Demons have overrun Rome in an attempt to take over the Catholic Church, and 'private exorcist' Ray Bibbia is the only one that can stop them, mainly by typing, but also by unravelling the plot to conquer Rome. And of course he's got a dark past just waiting to be revealed.
Expect ten boss battles, an online leaderboard and you get to meet the Pope. The exorcisms are apparently based on real ones, so you might also want to brush up on your Latin. If you manage to get rid of demons without making any mistakes, you'll build up your combo and eventually spell a 'perfect exorcism', which mainly sounds like a way to lord it over your mates in the aforementioned leaderboard.
I have a hard enough time with regular bullet hell shooters, so I don't anticipate being able to put much of a dent in the demonic population if I also have to type Bible passages and exorcisms, but I would have given anything for a game like this or Typing of the Dead when I was in school. Kids just aren't taught how to exorcise demons properly, and it's a problem. The typing stuff would probably have come in handy, too, I guess.
The Textorcist will be available on Steam (opens in new tab) on February 14.

The typical employee orientation goes something like this: introductions to staff, a tour of the facilities, an overview of policies and procedures, and paperwork to fill out. But there's another way to assist new employees during the initial months on the job — and some employers are catching on.
They are pairing new hires with appropriate mentors — more experienced employees who act as a newcomer's guide to the workplace.
Mentoring is hardly a new concept; it's been around as long as work itself. But in the rush of day-to-day business, managers often forget the advantages of investing a bit of time in assigning mentors whenever they have new employees join their teams.
Mentors can provide assistance in a range of areas, from mastering basic skills to navigating the organization's corporate culture. This allows new hires to make a more immediate impact on the job. And it's a win-win move. Mentees are offered valuable, real-world experience while mentors expand their leadership capabilities and gain satisfaction from serving in a meaningful role.
Here are some basic steps in the mentoring life cycle that employers need to consider.
Launching a program. Mentoring programs have many potential benefits, but it's critical to have a plan in place before beginning them. For starters, goals must be established. Managers should determine exactly what they hope to achieve from mentoring, whether it's just getting a new hire up to speed on practices at the company or more in-depth training.
Effective matches are essential to the success of these programs. Those chosen to be mentors should not only have excellent interpersonal and professional skills, but also the time and interest necessary to make a difference in the role. A potential mentor may be an impressive employee, but if he or she is never available to meet with mentees, the relationship has little chance of success.
Managers should never serve as mentors to employees who report directly to them. New hires may have a lot of questions and concerns as they begin their jobs and need mentors they can talk to candidly without worrying about career consequences.
A team mentoring approach may be useful in situations where mentees need to learn about a variety of topics. For instance, an administrative professional might meet with the department's tech guru to learn how to master the firm's proprietary software, gain customer service strategies from another employee, and have discussions with a longer-term mentor who can offer professional direction and support.
Setting rules. The mentoring plan needs to include clear guidelines for how the program will work. All parties involved should understand the expected time commitment and degree of help that will be provided. For instance, a mentor might meet with a new employee weekly to practice better public speaking techniques.
It can be valuable to provide written confidentiality agreements noting that what's discussed during mentoring remains private and won't be shared with the mentee's supervisor. People new to a company may be particularly hesitant to say anything that might get back to their bosses. Privacy policies can encourage a more open dialogue among participants.
Following up. Managers should check in periodically to make sure the mentoring relationship is on track. That way, they can intervene early if there are any problems. Sometimes there's just a poor match and people need to be reassigned. In other cases, there may be issues with time commitments or the level of mentoring being provided.
A thorough evaluation of the entire mentoring program should also be conducted regularly to ensure it remains relevant and beneficial. Needs and goals may shift over time, so adjustments can make a big difference.
It's equally important to make sure the program is getting sufficient attention in the company. Managers should actively promote mentoring programs during recruitment, so people know the support is available.
Mentoring programs are not only useful for new hires but also in furthering the development of existing staff. Individuals wanting to advance in the firm or master new skills can benefit from working with mentors. A strong program can help create an inviting culture where people are constantly sharing knowledge, generating ideas and are mutually committed to building a successful company.

I am convinced this film would have won best picture - but it happened to come out the same year as David Lean's masterpiece, Lawrence of Arabia, with Peter O'Toole. How good was 1962 you ask?

Which Weight Loss Strategies Really Work?
Paleo, Keto, Atkins or the Zone. Low-carb versus low-fat. With dozens of diets to pick from, how do you find the one that's best for you?
Scripps Clinic endocrinologist Ken Fujioka, MD, says that for most, simply cutting calories will work. That sounds easy, but your genetics, metabolism and any number of medical problems can affect the results, and your body will adapt to fight weight loss, so you'll have to work harder to sustain it over time.
There are also a few commonly held beliefs about weight loss that can derail your efforts. Here, Dr. Fujioka debunks seven common diet misconceptions that may be keeping you from slimming down.
Cutting calories down to 1,200 to 1,300 for women and 1,500 to 1,800 for men will help you shed 5 to 10 percent of your body weight. However, beyond that, the body lowers your metabolism by 30 calories for every two pounds you lose. That means you'll have to keep cutting calories.
Contrary to popular belief, it's OK to drop below 1,000 calories, although your body won't like it. "When you get down to those lower calories, the body starts adjusting hormones to make you think about food constantly," says Dr. Fujioka.
Exercise is crucial for long-term weight loss, but "the best exercise is actually not just cardio or weights, it's both," Dr. Fujioka says.
He recommends setting aside three to five hours a week for exercise and upping the intensity for better results. Experts have traditionally said that exercising at around 65 percent of your maximum heart rate is best, but actually about 85 percent is most effective.
When you fast, you use up all your glycogen — aka sugar storage — which then forces your body to start burning fat. Fasting for as little as one to three days a week (every other day) can get the body into fat-burning mode during that fasting period. "It turns out fasting is a reasonable way to lose weight," Dr. Fujioka says.
But calories matter, too. If you eat a lot, this won't work quite as well. The ketones produced during this type of fat-burning are also a diuretic, so you're going to lose electrolytes. Take a multivitamin, and talk to your doctor, as you may need supplemental potassium or magnesium.
Caffeine and caffeine derivatives may aid in burning fatty acids, though. "The easiest thing is to drink coffee or tea," Dr. Fujioka says.
Upping your water intake to increase weight loss is also a myth — kind of. Just drinking more water throughout the day may not help weight loss, but drinking 2 cups of water 30 minutes before a meal may increase weight loss by 1 to 2 percent. Drinking that extra water ahead of time will also help you feel full sooner.
Avoid high-fructose corn syrup. It causes your blood sugar to spike more than other sugars, and appears to trigger a signal that the body needs to store fat. Fruit juice is also a no-go. It has too many calories, and juice causes the body to release more insulin than the same amount of whole fruit.
"It's clearly the future," Dr. Fujioka says, but the science isn't quite there yet. Out of about 30 to 60 candidate genes, researchers have only been able to figure out two.
With so many diets out there, it can be overwhelming. But the most important thing is finding something.

Best Betting Odds for Formula 1 2021
F1 is the only type of motor racing you even need to be paying attention to, especially if you're a punter looking to branch out. There's a massive market, plenty of action and fast cars.
What more could you want? Well, possibly £30 in bet credits from Betfred, but other than that you'll find everything you need to smash into the F1 betting markets down below – don't be sticking your money on Hamilton every week. There's more to F1 betting than that, and he'll lose eventually… probably.
Most Important Reasons to Compare Odds
In case you're new to betting, the first and most important thing that you should learn is to understand the different types of betting odds. It is known that betting usually provides us with the ability to predict the results of an event. Just like any other market, the case is similar to F1 races. Although odds come in different types, each bookmaker has its own odds when it comes to the races. Therefore, it is important to compare the odds of the best bookmakers to make decent money. For example, if you are rolling dice, there are six different outcomes that you can experience. If you are betting that a person will roll 'one', the possibility of it to happen is 16.67%. Similarly, when you are betting on a particular automobile, the probability of it winning is (1/n*100)%. The Best Bookmaker Formula 1 Odds will make you understand the likeliness of a particular thing to happen. Most of the Formula 1 Betting Odds UK represents the odds either in the fractional form or in decimal form.
Formula 1 Odds Comparison can help you in understanding how likely an event is to happen.
Formula 1 Odds Comparison can help you understand about the money that you can win.
Formula 1 Odds Comparison can give you clarity about the complexities in the event.
Formula 1 Odds Comparison stands as a guide for explaining the odds to enable you to calculate profits and losses.
Online vs. Offline: Chasing the Best Odds
A key difference between the online betting odds and the offline betting odds is the credit. With the online sites, you can only use the money that is right away with you. This is not the case with the offline bookies, who let you wager with the credit. In case when you have lost based on the credit, you will have to pay at that point. While this might turn advantageous to few bettors, most of the time, it is a disadvantage.
The best odds are always clear when it comes to online gambling. You don't have to worry about money management or the level of discipline through the Best Bookmaker Formula 1 Odds. Even when lost, you can track the wagers online and calculate your own odds to prepare yourself for a possible win. Another disadvantage of offline betting odds is that they can figure their betting habits over a long time, which is why you can't trust the same bookie and win again and again.
Online betting is a predictable option because of the best betting odds for Formula 1 available. Even if you are an introvert, you can place wagers with ease because of the online interfaces. These interfaces come with many benefits, based on your own figures and needs. That being said, you can find the bookmaker odds for Formula 1, and go with the best bookmaker in the town. However, if you'd like to bet on the go, then we'd recommend you have a read of our guides to the latest Android Betting apps and new mobile casino providers.

The History of Betting Odds in Formula 1:
The first United States Grand Prix was won by Bruce McLaren of Cooper-Climax, back in 1959 at Sebring. This 1960 United States Grand Prix edition was held at Riverside, California, in 1957, where Stirling Moss has won his first United States Grand Prix. Even though there are many other F1 races apart from the United States Grand Prix like the United States Grand Prix West, the former is the most known since the 1970s. When Formula 1 quit Watkins Glen after the win of Alan Jones' back in 1980, the Grand Prix was resumed from happening until 1989. It is 1989; three races were held in which Alain Prost has won the first, followed by Ayrton Senna in the next two races. F1 has been considered as one of the most acknowledged automobile brands that stand as a synonym for speed, ever since.
Circuit de Monaco: During the last eight seasons, the Winner of Grand Prix is from the pole position. But if we observe the races since 2007, at least four of the races have the starting three positions finish gracefully at the podium. As a result, the pole sitter has the highest odds in this race, as it is difficult when it comes to overtaking.
Circuit de Catalunya: The last decade has been very predictable for this circuit as all the winners came from the pole position. The 2011 winner was an exception, as he started at the 2nd position. However, F1 is adjusting this circuit to make it easier for overtaking, but if they are not making any changes, you can bet at the grids.
The Yas Marina Circuit: Hosted at Abu Dhabi, this circuit also favors the qualifiers. However, it is reported that the track officials are asked to change the course towards overtaking, which is why we are not yet sure about the betting odds.
On observing the history of the F1 races, it is seen that most of the circuits are repeatedly adjusted in order to accommodate the overtaking opportunities. But with the adjustments, it will be difficult to predict the Best Betting Odds for Formula 1 and to pick the winners instead of just going with the pole. Most of the races are won by the pole positions or by the aggressive passers who start even in the 3rd position or farther.
Types of Formula 1 Betting odds:
There are too many ways in which the bookmakers usually express their odds from different parts of the world in different formats. For example, a British gambler would prefer fractions while a European would prefer decimals. Apart from these, there are special odds known as American odds, specially written for the Americans. Bookmakers will always offer Best Betting Odds for Formula 1 in different formats to cater to all kinds of players. The most common betting odds are:
Decimal Odds: Decimal/European Odds will provide gamblers with a number as you can calculate the total returns, including the stake. For example, if you have a bet with decimal odds of 3.0, and your stake is 10; the profit is usually 30. To calculate the profit from any odd, you can simplify the stakes with this odd and subtract the stake from the number to get the profit. You can convert the fractional odd into the decimal odd, by just dividing the top number of the fraction with the bottom number. Decimal odds will allow you to extend flexibility so that you will gain interest in learning about matchbooks and bet fairs.
Fractional Odds: Fractional odds can lead to inaccuracies, but most of the UK bookmakers prefer the fractional odds just because they can be established in patterns. For example, when you take the stake and multiply it with the fractional odds, you can see the profit that you can win. Say your odds are 5/6, and your stake is 100; your profit would be 5/6*100 = 83.3. In most of the cases, the step-up of the odds can create larger gaps, and the step down can create discounted odds. This innate flexibility makes the format a little less accurate when compared to other formats.
American odds: The American Odds will enable the gambler to know about the profits if he is betting 100 and if the odds are above 2.0, or how much he has to bet in order to win 100 if the odds are below 2.0.
How are Formula 1 Odds Calculated?
There are multiple markets that stay available for every individual in each season of the Grand Prix. The Formula One gamblers can be involved with bets on longer options while the bookmakers calculate their odds. Most of the time, the odds are calculated based on the positions of the racers. The popular odds of the Grand Prix are found in the Driver's Championship, where we can find a man with the maximum points in the campaign. Besides, there are other factors that the bookmakers consider while calculating the odds like the tire sets that the teams are allowed to use. Followed by the chewing time of the tires, the bookmakers also keep a solid track on the rule changes both during the off-season and during the season.
A bookmaker will also see that the team strategies and execution are also important while calculating the odds. More often than not, some teams can make quirky and capable decisions which help them in giving an edge to the race. By planning minute things like pit stops, few teams can create huge differences that can enable them to win. Another factor that the bookmakers consider while calculating the odds is the weather. Hot weather or rainy weather can create a harder impact on the results.
Formula 1 Odds Betting Strategies:
Constructors' Championship Odds: The championship market is very similar to the drivers market. These odds will tell us to bet on the manufacturer who provides the best cars along with the drivers in the campaign. Each manufacturer has two cars for every Grand Prix, which is why you can just bet on the basis of the points by estimating who will have the highest points at the end of the tournament.
Grand Prix Outright Winner Odds: Every Grand Prix has an option that allows you to bet on the winner. This bet is known as the money line bet, which is extremely easy. Few bookmakers refer to it differently, but this bet is all about the winner who takes the chequered flag. The Money line bets are easier to predict because you will always have a set of drivers who you know has a higher probability of winning the race.
Driver vs. Driver Match Bets: If the result is being prohibitive of odds, you can always opt for the alternative prop bets, known as the Match Bets. A sportsbook will allow you to pick two drivers in the Match Bets, and the punter can decide who will end up in the high position. In some cases, you can even opt for the three drivers and choose one in the straight fight.
The most popular markets in Formula 1:
Fastest Lap Odds: The fastest lap market is difficult to predict when compared to other F1 betting markets. In case you have observed the entire 2018 season, you can see the winner is not the one who has done the fastest lap. It is always some outsiders who deliver these laps out of the contention on the field. Even when a driver is far from winning, he can still be open to speed, and it just takes one exceptional lap in order to win this fastest bet.
'Will a Safety Car Appear in the Race' Bet: There are numerous reasons why a safety car appears in the race. There is a separate market which allows the gamblers to see if this can happen or not. In modern-day, the vehicles are deemed to be safer, which is why the profits made on this bet are relatively low. In case the weather is bad, the possibility of a safety car being called out is more. Therefore, reliable weather can play a huge part in this particular bet.
Podium Finish Odds: Formula 1 Races do not have each way bettings, but to compensate them, we have Podium Finishes. In each Grand Prix, you can bet if a selective driver will finish the podium in the top three positions. This is a safer betting option because the winning probabilities are more with a single stake on the possibility.
Pole Position: Pole position is a popular betting market where you can wager if the driver who has the pole position will reach the qualifying portion of the Grand Prix. If at all, the driver at the pole reaches the portion, you will win the bet with a decent profit.
Irrespective of the betting markets, there are always certain F1 drivers who can benefit you in every bet. The most outstanding driver in this season is Lewis Hamilton, who won his 5th title back in 2019. He is back with his Mercedes automobile for a new campaign. Following him is Valtteri Bottas, who won two pole positions and held a record for the highest number of fastest laps in the last campaign. Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari is another challenger of Hamilton who has a total of 5 Grandprix victories. The remaining three of the top six are Daniel Ricciardo, Kimi Raikkonen, and Max Verstappen, who are worth watching across various markets.

The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe proposed four-phase plan to build a $1 billion casino in Taunton about 40 miles south of Boston and 20 miles from Providence.
The plan includes a 150,000 sq-ft casino with 3,000 slots, 150 table games and 40 poker tables, two 12-story hotel towers with 300 rooms each, indoor/Outdoorpater park, a family water park hotel and many restaurants.
The state enacted the Massachusetts Casino Bill extablishing the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) and authorizing three regional casinos and a slots parlor.
A non-binding ballot measure in support of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe's casino proposal was passed by voters in Taunton, but rejected by voters in East Taunton where the casino would be built.
In Sept 2015 the U.S. Department of the Interior approved the Tribe's request to take their land into federal trust, including their 152-acre casino site in Taunton. This transfer was completed January 8, 2016.
In April the tribe broke ground to begin construction of their casino.
In July construction stopped when a U.S. District Court judge ruled the federal land transfer violated the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act. The Interior Department appealed.
In April the U.S. Interior Department decided to drop its appeal and seek a legal alternative.
In September Interior Department ultimately conceded that the tribal land could not be kept in trust.
The tribe is seeking federal legislation to overcome its legal challenges to build the casino. A bill to support this was reintroduced to the U.S. Congress Jan 8th by by U.S. representatives William Keating and Joe Kennedy.
Indoor/Outdoor Water Park - 25,000 Sq. Ft.
The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe hopes the U.S Congress will reconsider and pass legislation to keep the tribe's reservation land in federal trust and allow the tribe to proceed with its casino plans. A Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Reservation Re-affirmation bill was reintroduced to Congress on Jan 8 by U.S. representatives William Keating and Joe Kennedy.
"We are extremely grateful that a bipartisan group of Congressional representatives understands the injustice of taking sovereign land away from the first Americans and have moved swiftly to ensure this nation does not return to the dark days of removing indigenous people from their land," wrote Tribal Chairman Cedric Cromwell in a statement released Monday.
The bill must first pass the Senate and House and signed by the President before a legal challenged can be launched.
On Friday a decision was made that put the future Taunton Casino development on hold. The casino project would be owned by the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe of Cape Cod. The casino would have cost $1 billion to complete.
The tribe was notified that the land where they wanted to build the casino would not be placed into trust for them by the U.S. Department of the Interior. In 2015 300 acres were placed into trust by the department for the tribe. The tribe was then able to use the land as their sovereign reservation as it was declared as such by the federal government. However, long lasting and ongoing legal battles by residents in the area caused a delay in the project. The department was then ordered by a federal judge to reconsider the action of placing the land into trust. The judge ruled that putting the land into trust did not fall under the authority of the department to do so.
In the ruling that was 28 pages long, it was said that land cannot be placed into trust for the tribe under the Indian Reorganization Act. The act was passed in 1934. Under this act, the tribe does not qualify to have the land placed into trust because it was not under the federal jurisdiction when it passed.
The tribe can trace their ancestors back to the arrival of the Pilgrims. However, they did not receive their federal recognition until 2007.
The federal government can grant a special status by placing land into trust. The property title is held by the government and allows for a tribe to use the land for their own use under their own decisions. They are free to use the land's natural resources and are tax exempt.
Ground was previously broken for the Taunton Casino project. However, construction was stopped by the tribe after the ruling.
As of now, 26 letters of support have been submitted for the proposed bill called the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Reaffirmation Act. The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe have been attempting to develop a casino in Taunton. Support for the project has been growing recently. 21 individual tribes, nonprofits, and pan-tribal organizations have submitted their support for the project.
Currently the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe are waiting for a committee hearing to be scheduled by state lawmakers. The tribe is interested in ending the legal battles regarding their reservation.
The proposed bill would end the controversy over property ownership. The land in Taunton was agreed upon to be taken into trust for the tribe. However, the land was sold for the price of $1 billion to neighbors that oppose the project after the lawsuit was ruled in their favor.
The concern is that the 150 acres of land in Taunton will be taken out of trust by the U.S. Department of Interior. The tribe also owns 171 acres of land in Mashpee.
Meetings are being scheduled by the Interior Department with tribal leaders from across the country. The meetings are in regard to taking land into trust for the tribes. The department is looking for recommendations on changes for the current regulation.
One of the changes that the Interior Department is considering is how to comply with court orders asking land to be removed from the trust.
Recently Rush Street casino company submitted a letter to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission. The company is located in Chicago. They are interested in joining with the Brockton Fairgrounds to develop a casino. That casino would cost $677 million to complete.
The proposed casino in Brockton was originally denied in April 2016. The state gaming commission rejected the plan with a vote of 4 to 1. Now Rush Street is asking for a reconsideration for their plan.

Q: SCP command line and PHP exec() not doing the same thing When I run this on the command line:
scp -i private.ppk -P 22 foo.txt someuser@domain.com:/home/someuser/foo.txt

Everything works fine. foo.txt gets transferred to the remote server without any problems. I need to run the exact same command from PHP. So, I have the following code:
$command = 'scp -i private.ppk -P 22 foo.txt someuser@domain.com:/home/someuser/foo.txt';
exec($command);

This doesn't work. The PHP file is being executed in the same directory as private.ppk. When I var_dump the results of the exec, I get a NULL.
I'm wondering if this is a permission problem. I know who I am running as on the command line, but I am not sure who is running the script. Could that be the problem? Or is it something completely different?

A: I think it is a permission issue. SSH clients usually refuse to connect unless the permissions have been set such that third parties (such as the user "nobody") can't read the keys.
That said, it is a bit odd that you're using a *.ppk - which is the extension PuTTY keys use - which OpenSSH doesn't support.
That said, my recommendation would be to use phpseclib's SCP client. You can just have the keys as a string in the PHP file itself at that point instead of having to have them live in the filesystem. More info:

Q: How can I determine the cause of CF card corruption? I installed qnx in my CF card and made it bootable and it was working well.  However, yesterday it stopped working while my system was running.  Checking the filesystem revealed that it was corrupted.  I tried to view the log files but they are corrupted and inaccessible.  How can I find out how it became corrupted and which files are corrupted with bit by bit.  How  can I view the hex file of cf card data.  The card is using an ect2 filesystem.

A: dd_rescue may be used to obtain a raw dump of a failed device in a way that avoids read aborts due to failed sectors.  This will not necessarily tell you why it failed, but, monitoring if failed sectors occur, and potentially where they are in the file system could help you gather information pertinent to finding a probable cause.
If the operating system image is not configured in a way that limits repetitive writes to particular sectors of a compact flash device, an OS that chatters a lot (logging, etc) can easily access the meta data area of a file system so many times that the FLASH sectors where they are stored reach their maximum write count long before the rest of the media fails.  It can be critical to use a CF device that employs wear levelling algorithms if the OS image is not crafted to avoid high volume of writes to certain areas of the media.
dd_rescue would give you a raw dump of the file system.  If that's what you mean by "the hex file of cf card", then I heartily recommend it.  I have used it to recover data from hard drives that have sustained hardware failures.
If you want to try to recover the log files, PhotoRec does wonders, but for a large partition, it is time consuming and a monumental task to pick through the output of the tool.  PhotoRec can get some file extensions (pictures, mp3's, and so on) correct, but the file names are completely lost.  It does well at recovering text files.  If the CF card failed in the meta data only, this utility would let you recover the content of the log files.
These utilities are on the SysRescueCD.
Hopefully you have not written to the CF card since it failed.  Never write to a failed device if you want to recover it later.  Always mount the media read only.


The General Assembly of Edirne Province announced that tendering of first works for the future Istanbul – Edirne high-speed railway will be launched in 2018. The project was also debated by the Parliament in Ankara during the meeting of 2 September.
"We believe the project is very positive for Edirne, especially from commercial, touristic and transport development points of view", declared Recep Gürkan, Mayor of Edirne.

REVIEW: Limited Edition Hostess Twinkies Ice Cream
February 9, 2017 December 7, 2018 Sean Reviews
Just in time for me dusting off the last of my White Peppermint Twinkies, Hostess is breaking down the freezer aisle doors with Limited Edition Twinkies Ice Cream. Combining a sweet butter cream ice cream with sponge cake pieces and a frosting swirl, the chubby 12-year-old in me can hardly contain his excitement.
It should go without saying that this isn't a super premium ice cream, but it isn't a "diet" ice cream either, and the lower fat, higher air ratio here actually works to convey the desired flavors well. It scoops effortlessly, folding over on itself and exposing wonderful ripples of aggressively churned dairy. The base flavor is rich and buttery with caramel notes that hint towards the golden outside of Hostess' sponge cake.
Texturally what it lacks in decadent density it makes up for with a light and fluffy whipped presence that melts with ease and reminds me of Twinkie creme. The frosting swirl is more predominantly mixed in with the base than standing out on its own, but when eating you can taste two distinct flavors. Some bites are pure sweet butter cream ice cream and others pop with a creme filling frosting surprise that is a touch greasy and extra sweet.
The sponge pieces are perfect. Although not huge, they are pretty evenly sprinkled throughout and make their way pleasantly into every couple of bites. They've held their shape well and are chewy like cake that has been served on a plate with ice cream that has melted its way onto the slice. The texture is spot on Twinkie, with the exception that there's no risk of them being dry because they're drowning in deliciously sweet ice cream instead of sitting for an unknown amount of time in a cellophane wrapper.
Overall this is an extremely well-executed ice cream version of eating a Twinkie. The buttery, slightly greasy mouthfeel and melty creamy textures all harken back to the experience of eating the classic Hostess cake – but perhaps even better.
It's no secret that eating Twinkies can be extremely hit or miss, and this ice cream takes care of the quality issues that can happen when you buy cake at a gas station. It's not going to flip the gourmet ice cream universe on its head, but it's fun and tasty, and for what it is, it's pretty damn good.

Pros: Nice buttery sweet base with caramel notes. Tastes just like a Twinkie put into a blender. Tasty sponge cake, no risk of dryness.
Cons: A Twinkie ice cream that tastes better than an actual Twinkie = high risk of overdose.

Bobby X. says:
Yes, this is unbelievably yummy. Usually, I don't feel much enthusiasm for any ice cream lacking chocolate and/or peanut butter and/or coffee. This has none of those — and I still loved it!! 🙂
Yes! Sub caramel for coffee in your list and I agree 100%. It was so impressive how well they nailed the Twinkie experience – and it's so much lighter than the usual premium stuff I eat I felt like I could go at it for-evveerrrr ;P
I bought the snowball ice cream and I'm in heaven. It's like eating spoonfuls of marshmallow fluff with a few chocolate bits in there. Going to pass on the Twinkie flavor as I'm kind of anti-Twinkie but I'll gladly keep buying the snowball.
I thought it tasted more like Dolce De Leche than a Twinkie. Still good though.
Daren says:
This is the best ice cream I have ever had and I was a nut for buttered pecan now I am crazy for twinkie ice cream. If I have one complaint it would be that they stopped stocking in the store I was buying it from. START STOCKING UP IF YOU ARE ABLE would be my advice.
Sherry Kabel says:
Twinkie I've cream is unbelievable good. My husband said it is the best ice cream he ever ate… Thank you Hostess for a great new taste!

Overview- The HL2270DW may be the same small-size whilst the HL-2240, using the 250- 1 and page input tray -page manual bypass tray without any document handling alternatives. It is also quick while offering fairly top quality result outdoing, over the panel the HL-2240 just by a little on both ratings.
Setting the printer on the community up is regular cost. I examined it by having an Ethernet link, utilizing a system. About the new edition of our company purposes collection (using QualityLogicis equipment and application for time) it arrived in at a fruitful 11.7 websites each minute (ppm). That is clearly in line with the 27 ppm motor score, and a very good cut, which will be near to everything you'll notice for publishing text files without pictures or artwork.
Fundamentally, the HL 2270DW is just an option that is very appealing. Its mixture of quick pace, fairly top quality result, document capability that is appropriate, duplexing, and born and WiFi community assistance, causes it to be a discount for that cost. Include the dimension that is little, and it is a printer in a office and metaphorically—as an especially great fit—both actually.

Book Review – Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir by Dave Mustaine
Posted by Drew
Legions of rock fans everywhere owe a great debt to delinquent and absent fathers whose inability to man-up left the children in their wake full of anger, bitterness, reckless abandon and a desire to take all this out in the form of music.
And sometimes through self-destruction these children make great music, get famous and tumble through life living on the edge of death. And once in a while redemption not only blindsides the star but the fans as well.
Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir (released in 2010) is an entertaining, very raw and yet a self-indulgent account of Megadeth founder and front man Dave Mustaine. Mustaine pulls no punches (and in some of the stories he literally pulls no punches) when it comes to his drug use, alcohol abuse and philandering ways. He also has no problem and almost obsessively explains his side of the story from day one. In one paragraph he may exalt himself, in the next he'll tear himself apart. Metallica still bothers him and you can see why if what he says is indeed accurate. Metal fans have to wonder what Metallica would be today with Dave Mustaine on-board.
Mustaine (the man) however is a rare breed. Who would have thought the singer/guitarist for the band Megadeth would have ever found faith in Jesus Christ. And then continue with Megadeth! The chapter recounting his conversion is gripping yet somewhat anti-climactic. You'd think a man who lived the stereotypical rock 'n roll lifestyle, hit bottom multiple times, had anger issues and has spent his life fighting the demons of his childhood would have a story of seeing Jesus.
But he didn't. His conversion was no more theatrical than most who find God which in hindsight is probably a good thing. After two decades of self-destruction Mustaine finally, in rehab of course, realized he needed help:
I sat there that evening, staring at the flames, thinking about my life…about the choices I'd made and the consequences of those choices, both positive and negative. Something was missing. I can't do this anymore. This has to be the end of it. – Page 306
Mustaine walked to a nearby chapel, held hands with a chaplain and invited Christ into his life. No doves, no thunder, no vision. Just a simple conversion from a broken man who finally discovered the Truth. He told his estranged wife what happened and she laughed. Not because it was funny but because this already godly woman had friends telling her it would happen.
It's truly amazing how God works in our lives. Mustaine, like many rockers from the 80s, is very lucky to be alive. He does not re-tell stories of a near-death drug overdose though he clearly had some harrowing close calls. But he abused enough substances (usually at the same time) that would likely kill a weaker man. It's amazing he ever had the strength to record such great records. (If you're not a metal fan than you can't appreciate his music.)
Megadeth lives on and so does Mustaine. Now in his 50s, Megadeth released its 13th album last year aptly titled Thirteen and continues to tour. In Mustaine one cannot miss just how much his sudden departure from Metallica really bothers him even after all these years. Empathetically, it's certainly understandable how building the foundation of one of the biggest music acts today only to be kicked off stage just as Metallica began its ascendancy into the stratosphere could be the proverbial thorn in his side. I too have felt slighted by people in the course of my lifetime, albeit nothing to the extent of what was done to Mustaine, and I too have wanted to somehow set the record straight, at times hoping for their failure just as Mustaine fastidiously watched for Metallica's downfall.
Here's the thing. Christian doctrine understands God to be an all-knowing, omnipresent being who lives out of the confines of time. To put it simply, God already knows the beginning and the end. For example, once you've read a book you know the beginning, middle and the end of the characters' lives and you can return to the book anywhere in the timeline of the book. This is how it is with God in our lives.
In 1986, Metallica's bassist Cliff Burton died when the band's tour bus overturned in Sweden. I am not hear to debate why and when God does or does not intervene, but I have to wonder if it's ever occurred to Mustaine that perhaps he is alive today because he was not on that tour bus.
Instead, God, who knows the pages of our lives, saw that sometime in 2002 the world famous heavy metal guitarist Dave Mustaine would turn to Him. And then in 2010 His child would write about his conversion introducing the Gospel to, what one could argue, an untapped segment of society who desperately needs to hear some Good News.

The water quality at all six Blue Flag award winning beaches in North Norfolk have been confirmed as Excellent in the 2017 Bathing Water Classifications by Government.
Bathing water at Sheringham, West Runton, East Runton, Cromer, Mundesley, and Sea Palling has been classified as 'Excellent' by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
Water is tested at our beaches every week over the summer months and each year DEFRA publishes the results, which rate bathing water as either: Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor; in 2017 all six of the blue flag beaches have been recognised as having excellent bathing water.
Nationally 270 locations (65.4% of those measured) have been classed as excellent in 2017.
Cllr Maggie Prior, North Norfolk District Council Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure said: "It's absolutely wonderful that the quality of our beaches has been recognised in this national bathing water classification.
This water quality classification will be a key factor in the award of Blue Flags for next year.
The news has been welcomed by councillors along the coast.

The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and high-level government representatives reaffirmed their commitment to the country's industrialization goals by announcing the launch of the first UNIDO Country Program for the Philippines. UNIDO Director General LI Yong's official visit, which coincides with the 25th anniversary of the Basic Cooperation Agreement (BCA) signed between UNIDO and the Philippine Government in 1993, seeks to support the country's renewed outlook on the industry sector, and on infrastructure as a key priority.
The Country Program for the Philippines focuses on supporting inclusive, sustainable and innovation-led industrialization; fostering green and resilient industrial communities; and cultivating effective partnerships for inclusive and sustainable development. Ultimately, the Country Program for the Philippines will seek to support the government's efforts to revitalize manufacturing in selected sectors, and to develop the biotech industry.
UNIDO's present portfolio in the Philippines covers the industry, energy, environment, and post-disaster economic recovery sectors. UNIDO's innovations in greening industries and sustainable cities, circular economies, and sustainable consumption and production will also be continued under this Programme. The Program will be implemented from 2018 to 2023.


We often hear of divorce stories featuring couples fighting over something meaningless. The marriage is over, the finality of divorce hasn't set in and they are stuck fighting over who gets the toaster. Neither person needs a toaster — they just want something to prolong the conflict.
In my view, the employee reference letter is to employment lawyers what the toaster is to family lawyers.
Most of the ink spilled and time wasted discussing reference letters has come as a result of an employer refusing to provide a letter of reference after a termination, without a legitimate reason. Despite popular opinion, the law does not require an employer to provide a reference — this was confirmed in 2008 by the Ontario Court of Appeal in Titus.
It will be difficult for any employee to prove damage arising from a previous employer's failure to provide a reference letter — this is especially true when a pre-made reference letter reeks of desperation in an application package.
While a reference letter may be as helpful as a hairpiece in an interview, it doesn't mean employers should exercise their technical right to refuse.
Employers have every interest in seeing former employees find alternate employment and should do what they can to assist (or appear to assist) in that process.
Also, some encouragement should come from the British Columbia Supreme Court in Vernon v. British Columbia (Liquor Distribution Branch), where the court ordered the employer to pay $50,000 for offering a reference letter in exchange for resignation, and also the Quebec Court of Appeal, which awarded a teacher $5,000 in damages for the employer's failure to provide a reference letter.
Neither would have happened if the employer simply treated the reference letter in its giving as in its receiving — as a useless piece of paper.
While these cases are more about the employers' bad behaviour than reference letters, an impractical stance on providing letters of reference can provoke damages.
Providing negative references is more problematic. In light of the Supreme Court of Canada's decision in Young v. Bella (and common sense), they need to be backed up with provable evidence.
There is no upside to providing a negative reference and, frankly, it is difficult to imagine a court awarding damages against an employer whose conscience prevents her from providing a positive reference.
In Young v. Bella, the court suggests employers can be held liable for negligently providing a negative letter of reference. However, it is rare for an employer to refuse giving a reference letter after termination because of legitimate reasons not to — they just don't want to. Employees are more often underwhelming than corrupt.
Admittedly, undeserved and unwarranted positive references prior to termination can also be problematic. A prime example is the mindless recommendations on LinkedIn. It's difficult to argue an employee is incompetent while praising his attributes in writing. However, by allowing managers to "recommend" people on Linked-In, managers and co-workers are forcing HR and lawyers to do just that.
Employees are encouraged to enhance their profiles online by asking for recommendations from co-workers and supervisors. And co-workers and supervisors are reluctant to refuse when asked, regardless of whether the employee is a good worker — therein lies the problem.
The solution is simple: Encourage employees to enhance their profiles online through sites such as LinkedIn — but do not recommend anyone without careful consideration. Human nature makes it difficult for a person, when asked, to deny the request to "recommend" someone. Therefore, a "no recommending employees on LinkedIn" clause in a social media policy is helpful. It provides an ideal excuse when denying an employee that request and, hopefully, avoids causing offence.
All the controversy can be avoided if employers have a policy with respect to reference letters that clearly makes the task one for HR. Human resources has the information about whether an employee's performance can justify a positive reference. This removes the emotion of the manager and the element of surprise in litigation when it's revealed a reference letter was refused. It also builds in a real assessment of whether an employer can say something good as opposed to nothing at all.
There is no reason to fight over the toaster. If you have legitimate, provable reasons that prevent you from providing a positive letter of reference, then don't. The letter of reference doesn't have to be a letter of recommendation, it can simply attest to an employee's skill or, at the very least, experience.
If you are ambivalent, highlight an area the employee did well and provide a letter of reference that is helpful — more often than not, a litigious employee wants a refusal more than a letter.
The reference letter could go back to being meaningless if we all stopped pretending it was a big deal. Use judgment and provide what you can, if you can. No employer has ever been criticized for providing a letter of reference that wasn't sufficiently "glowing." Take the high road and stop allowing employees to unnecessarily prolong the dispute.

#Spuštění:
./isj.py --id=884328
parametrem předané IMDB ID filmu. Skript poté vyzve uživatele k vybrání z nabídnutých českých titulků. Anglické titulky se porovnají všechny vhodné a vybere se to nejlepší řešení.

./isj.py --id=884328 --auto
Stejné jako předchozí, ale skript nevyžaduje další zásah uživatele a sám automaticky vybere některé české titulky pro které provede zarovnání

./isj.py -h zobrazí nápovědu

#Řešení:
řešení bylo zvoleno po konzultaci s některými studenty, kteří již s tímto měli zkušenosti.
Nakonec je implementováno přiřazování následovně:
- Z porovnávání se vyřadí titulky které mají výrazně jinou délku (např. verze rozdělené na více částí proti sobě určitě celé sedět nebudou)
- Podle prvního výskytu speciálních znaků (?, !) se vypočítá posunutí celých titulků (cz/en)  proti sobě. Tím se eliminuje například, když jedny titulky začínají např. o minutu dřív.
- Výpočet probíhá postupně pro každou českou promluvu. Vůči jeho časování se vypočítá +-okno. V anglické verzi se vyhledají titulky, časově spadající do tohoto časování
- Na základě počtu slov se provede přiřazení
- Pokud se žádná promluva nenajde, tak se vypíše pouze samotná česká.
- Výsledek se uloží pouze v případě, že došlo k přiřazení většího počtu promluv jak při předchozím eng titulku, jinak se zahodí
- Nejlepší řešení se nakonec zapíše do souboru

#Vyhodnocení:
- Poskytnutý soubor na porovnání má bohužel opačné řazení (eng-cz), tudíž jsem porovnání nedělal
- ručním projitím výsledného přiřazení bych určil správnost na zhruba 80%. Výsledek je ale závislý na výběru správných vstupních souborů a jejich správném načasování
- Pro otestování na doporučené sadě je potřeba skript spustit jako "./isj.py --id=884328" a ve výběru zvolit titulky číslo 3 (Za předpokladu, že na serveru nepřibydou další, které by pořadí načítání pozměnili)

Hodnocení od opravujícího: 35/40b

#Pokračování:
- V případě dalšího rozšiřování funkčnosti skriptu bych se zaměřil na zprovoznění spuštění skriptu se zadáním URL adresy konkrétních titulků. Tuto funkčnost jsem již zkoušel, ale server opensubtitles.org je velmi nestabilní a otestování se pravidelně zdařilo až na několikátý pokus a nakonec tedy tato část nebyla plně funkční a v odevzdávané verzi je tato část zakomentována.
- Pro zlepšení řpřazování by jistě prospělo upravit heuristiku aby nepočítala pouze počet slov, ale také například koncové znaky (?! apod), případně rozpoznávání Velkých písmen, například u jmen.

Throughout 2014-2017, in collaboration with the Centre for Sexuality, CPHA developed the content for three workshops focused on equipping frontline health and social service providers with the attitudes, knowledge and skills needed to provide safer, more inclusive and ultimately less stigmatizing sexual health, harm reduction and sexually transmitted and blood-borne infection (STBBI)-related services. The workshops are founded on adult education principles and promising practices in stigma reduction, and were pilot tested across the country to ensure their relevance and utility to a broad range of health and social service providers in Canada.
The turnkey workshop resources, including a facilitation manual, a participant workbook and the presentation slides, can help you facilitate a training session in your community.
To access the resources to help you facilitate a training session in your community, please complete the form at the bottom of this page.
During this introductory workshop, participants will explore stigma, the multiple factors that contribute to stigma, and the potential impacts of stigma on clients as well as public health interventions. In addition, this workshop will focus on strategies that can be employed at both practice and organizational levels to foster change and ultimately create more welcoming and inclusive environments for clients.
This advanced workshop is designed for service providers currently working in harm reduction, sexual health or STBBI-related services. During this workshop, participants will explore the multiple factors that contribute to STBBI-related stigma and the potential impacts of stigma on clients, as well as public health interventions. Participants will have an opportunity to enhance their skills in discussing sexuality, substance use and STBBIs with their clients and will be provided with several strategies and tools that can be employed to mitigate stigma within their practice.
During this interactive workshop, intended for frontline health and social service providers, program managers and administrators, participants will critically analyze the policies, practices and culture of their own organization and will assess the strengths and challenges faced by their organizations in providing harm reduction, sexual health and STBBI-related services that are less stigmatizing. Participants can expect to work through various tools in order to develop strategies that can be used to address stigma and discrimination within their workplaces.
Please complete the form below to access the workshop resources. We will email you with further information and access links within three business days. Your information is important to us and will not be shared. Collecting information allows us to monitor and evaluate the use of our tools.

Cherry Peak is a relative newcomer to the northern Utah ski scene, but this small mountain has attracted both tourists and locals to its pristine peak. Though smaller and less developed than central Utah's ski resorts, Cherry Peak is a favorite among locals, nearby Utah State University students, and townies looking for a community skiing experience.
This resort's size also comes with a few financial perks. Cherry Peak lift tickets are remarkably affordable when compared to the rest of the state. The mountain also offers significant military, senior, and student discounts, and children 5 and under ski free with the purchase of an adult ticket. When you ski at Cherry Peak, know you're getting a great price for some great skiing.

Keith Ellison Points To Allegations Against President Trump To Defend Himself
LEFT: Alex Wong/Getty Images RIGHT: NICHOLAS KAMM/AFP/Getty Images
Mike Brest Reporter
October 21, 2018 11:24 PM ET
Congressman Keith Ellison used the allegations of sexual misconduct levied against President Trump to defend himself against the accusations he's facing during the Minnesota attorney general debate on Sunday night.
Congressman Ellison, also the deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee, and Doug Wardlow are running to be the next attorney general of Minnesota. Ellison was forced to discuss the allegations levied against him by Karen Monahan, a former girlfriend, as soon as the debate began.
"Well I consider these allegations very serious, which is why I fully cooperated with the investigation. And that investigation, which is a 15 page report, which anyone can read has found that the allegations were unsubstantiated. I can tell you that I believe that it's wrong to politicize a tragic situation like this and I think it is absolutely improper for this to become a political football and a weapon in this particular election," Ellison stated. (RELATED: Keith Ellison Accuser, Karen Monahan, Says Democratic Party Doesn't Believe Her)
As Ellison mentioned, the investigation came back with the conclusion that her claims were "unsubstantiated." The conclusion was made after Monahan refused to turn over a tape of him allegedly abusing her because she said she was not fully clothed.
"Particularly when many of the people who are weaponizing this allegation have failed to bring it up in other critical situations, for example President Trump has been credibly accused 19 times, one on tape," he continued. "In fact, no one can forget that particular occasion, yet the people who continue to weaponize this allegation against me have failed to mention that at all. And let me note as well that this is just a tactic to divert from the critical issues in this particular race."

"President Trump is not on the ballot here, Keith Ellison is and he wants to be our state's top cop, our top law enforcement official. There are serious and troubling allegations of domestic violence that have been leveled against Mr. Ellison by two different women," Wardlow responded.
"And those two different women have brought those allegations forward and they're about conduct that's pretty recent in time — 2005 and 2016. There is overwhelming evidence to support these allegations," Wardlow concluded.

A DVD Training Series Developed and Produced by the University Tutorial Center.
Productive tutoring consists of a complex set of behaviors that can best be taught by demonstrating effective techniques, allowing practice in real tutoring situations, and providing opportunities for reflection and discussion. Over time, this guided training approach steadily closes the gap between actual and optimal tutoring performances.
A Look at Productive Group Learning Sessions DVD series is designed to be used in this cycle of modeling, practice, reflection, and discussion. Train your group tutors, session leaders or teaching assistants in effective group facilitation and tutoring techniques using this guided DVD training approach!
The DVDs can also be used for training middle school and high school tutors.
All four modules of A Look at Productive Group Learning Sessions contain footage from actual group learning sessions. The modules are sequenced to provide a progressive training experience for new group session leaders in either a single day's training or in four or more separate training experiences. Pause screens are inserted at various points in each module as reminders of the need for reflection and discussion.
To view a sample of the contents, click on the module number below to see a 1 – 2 minute sample.
(16:39) Introduction to Group Learning Sessions and Group Session Leadership An overview of the content of the four training modules and introductory information on the benefits of group learning sessions for students, modes of operating group sessions, and characteristics of good group session leaders. Includes both narration and interviews with group session leaders.
(33:28) Group Session Leader (GSL) Strategies and Skills A comprehensive outline of skills and techniques needed to operate successful group learning sessions. GSL skills are organized into three broad leader strategies: 1) encouraging student participation, 2) providing structure, and 3) helping students become independent learners. Skills are highlighted by graphic overlays and illustrated in short clips from group learning sessions. Narration is used to explain the rationale for the use of each GSL skill.
(21:15) Using GSL Skills in Example Sessions An exhibition of GSL skills in the context of longer segments of group session footage. Narration is used to introduce each group session in the module, but to maintain the continuity of the sessions, the GSL skills are identified only by graphic overlays. In the first few group sessions, the skills are clearly labeled by a graphic. In the later samples, a graphic is used to flag the moment a skill is used, and the viewers are challenged to identify the skill.
(33:13) Group Learning Session Critique A collection of longer group session segments similar to those in Module 3. These segments are shown without the use of graphics to flag the GSL skills. Instead, trainees are challenged to make a list of all skills observed and any improvements that they might suggest. After each segment, a list of the featured skills is revealed to the viewers to provide feedback and positive reinforcement.

A global issue we all need to resolve
White & Black Rhino
The poaching of Rhino in Southern Africa and in South Africa in particular has been increasing exponentially over the past five years. In 2013 more rhino were killed then born. In an effort to combat this increase in poaching incidents the Gondwana Conservation Foundation launched the Rainbow Rhino initiative.
The initiative's objectives are to employ counter poaching training and cutting edge technology to protect and distribute Rhino in Africa. The initiative will establish a top class counter poaching training facility based on Gondwana Game Reserve and combine both traditional counter poaching training practice together with cutting edge technology such as drones and satellite tracking devices.
The initiative believes in changing the face of rhino conservation using technology and social media as a platform. The Rainbow Rhino initiative plans to introduce over 60 individual rhino into various reserves in Africa over a 10 year period. Within this period it is estimated that over 85 rhino calves will be born and that the foundation will have over 180 rhino to distribute to suitable locations in Africa.
The foundation has a goal of working with conservation authorities where a package deal can be created. This package deal will include the deployment of a highly trained counter poaching unit together with a viable breeding herd of rhino to viable settlement areas. We believe that the loss of the Rhino is a global issue and we all need to join hands to resolve it. The foundation has thus launched an international fundraising initiative to contribute to the development of the Rainbow Rhino initiative.
People may participate in a variety of ways from contributing to the fund in general to sponsoring the training of a counter poaching unit to adopt a rhino or adopt both a rhino and counter poaching training team to be deployed in a viable area.
