We operate in a purpose built and secure building with a fenced outdoor area which we allow the children to freely access during the sessions in all weathers. Weather permitting, we use the under 5s play area during the spring and summer term, we also like to go on nature walks around the estuary to see ducks, swans and geese. We like to plan a visit our local library once every half term. We are a pack away setting and offer a variety of educational and developmental activities which are planned in relation to the children's interests and abilities in accordance with the EYFS.
We are registered with Ofsted, The Charity Commission and Pre-school Learning Alliance. We are led by a volunteer committee of pre-school parents and have 4 paid members of staff, who hold early years' qualifications at a level 3.
Cultural and allergy related diets are catered for. We are part of the Healthy Eating Nippers Nutrition Programme and change our menus to suit all requirements. We currently hold a Level 4 award.

We have two member's of staff who are SENCO's, Emma is in the setting every day and Natalie is part time. we invite parents into our setting before a child starts for an induction meeting, where we gather as much information and knowledge to be able to support the child to the best of our ability. We are happy to invite professionals in to our setting to work along side ourselves, the parents and child.
We observe the progress children make using the EYFS. 7 Areas Of Learning Development Sheets are completed every 3/4 months and development record reviews on all children are done to ensure individual next steps are being met. If we feel a child's needs are not being met at our setting we will seek help and advice from outside agencies.
SALT, Portage, Senco, Schools, Children Centre and Health Visitors.
Managers meet with parents, children and new school providers to provide an easy transition, through meetings or with other professionals working with children with additional needs and requirements. The Keyperson also works with the parents and the child prior to transition and prior to leaving our setting all children who are transferring to school have a learning development assessment detailing their age and phase of development in line with the EYFS. Our setting agree with parents for information to be shared as part of the transition process, and arrange visits from surrounding schools into our setting at transition stage.
All our staff have experience of looking after children with SEND. The Pre-School is an all inclusive practice. Two members of staff have attended SENCO, and emotion coaching, two members of staff have attended Behaviour management. All members of staff hold Level 3 Childcare Qualifications. All members of staff hold First Aid and Food Hygiene qualifications. The SENCO and all staff attend regular network meetings covering areas such as Place Plus Funding, Supporting Children with SEND and Visual Aids. All staff have a basic knowledge of Makaton signs which are used every day in our setting.
We support children's health and well-being by getting to know the child's needs before they start at our Pre-School. We have a Level 4 at present and we are working towards a Level 5 with The Nippers Nutrition Healthy Eating Programme. All staff have training in Safeguarding and the designated Safeguarding Officers are Sally McGowan. Health and Safety Risk Assessments are carried out daily and assessments of any new activities or outdoor and cooking activities are undertaken before commencing the activity. We promote PSED through the use of positive praise, reward stickers, choosing of stories and sharing information with the child's parents. We have a good Key Person System in place and good relationships with all children and parents. Parents are also encouraged to share information with us about any changes to their child's well-being and staff are always available at any time to speak to. We also encourage the positive use of physical exercise and music and use activities from our fun fit book.
Ongoing communication. We have an open door policy and speak to the parents, especially children with SEND everyday. Each child has a Key Person who is responsible for them, planning their next steps, observing them and transferring information in to the child's Learning Journey. Parents are welcome to view their child's Learning Journey at any time and every three months approximately, we write up learning developments, where we will be inviting parents into discuss their child and their next steps. All children are also given opportunities during the sessions they attend to look at their learning journeys.
We have a Complaints Policy in place. All parents on starting their child at Pre-School receive a copy and the Policy is displayed on the Parents Notice Board at the Pre-School. There are clear steps marked in the Policy about resolving problems. The first point of contact is to speak to the Manager and most complaints are resolved amicably and informally. If this does not have a satisfactory outcome then there are clear and detailed steps in the Policy about making a written complaint, the holding of meetings or referring to mediation.
Our building is a purpose built building and was built for all children and adults to have access to. We have wide doors, a ramp, a toilet for the disabled and there is a hearing loop in the building.
We have a room/toilet where children can be changed. Potties are available for children getting to grips with toilet training in the early stages for 2-3 year olds. All staff are DBS checked and these are rechecked every three years as good practice. We have visual timetable cards in place to support and promote personal hygiene practices in the routines of the session.
At present we do not have any specialist resources but if we need to we can arrange to borrow or purchase equipment from specialist departments. We are age and stage appropriate and we offer Sensory and Heuristic Play.

Former Trump hotel partner charged in airport luggage theft
Published Tuesday, August 27, 2019
A Mississippi hotelier who had sought to open new hotels in partnership with President Donald Trump's family has been arrested on charges of stealing luggage from a Tennessee airport.
Dinesh Chawla of Cleveland, Mississippi, was arrested Thursday at the Memphis airport and charged with two counts of felony theft.
A sworn statement from a police officer obtained by The Associated Press says Chawla was seen on Aug. 18 on airport security cameras taking a suitcase from a baggage claim conveyor belt, putting it in his SUV, and then returning inside the airport to depart on a flight.
While Chawla was away, police towed his vehicle, obtained a search warrant and found a second piece of luggage identified as stolen from the Memphis airport on July 16.
Chawla was arrested Thursday after flying back to Memphis from Orlando, Florida. The police statement says Chawla confessed to stealing the two bags in question "as well as other thefts in the past."
The value of the suitcase and its contents taken Aug. 18 is reported at $2,599, while the bag and contents taken in July is valued at $1,300.
Chawla is free on $5,000 bail and didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment late Monday. It's unclear if he has a lawyer. A court hearing is set Friday.
Chawla is the CEO of Chawla Hotels, a family company that owns 17 hotels in Mississippi. The Trump family gave up on the two new hotel franchises that Chawla intended to license in February, with Eric Trump blaming politics. A high-end hotel that Chawla is building in Cleveland and intended to franchise under a proposed Trump brand remains under construction.
Chawla received widespread attention after agreeing to open the Trump-franchised hotels, facing questions about tax breaks granted him by the state of Mississippi. The family has a longstanding connection to Trump — Chawla's father, V.K. Chawla, sought Trump's advice in 1988 when seeking to start a motel in Greenwood. Trump called the elder Chawla and suggested that he apply for a minority Small Business Administration loan. Dinesh Chawla and his younger brother Suresh have steadily expanded the business, operating nationally franchised hotels in a series of Mississippi Delta towns.

After tying up with Pawan Hans to launch a joyride chopper service from the now-defunct Behala airport, the Mamata Banerjee government is now keen to extend the services to newer destinations in the city.
"We are looking to extend the chopper service to such destinations as Digha, Haldia and Gangasagar. We are keen to augment the service and discussed the proposal at length during a meeting a couple of days back. I would shortly visit Haldia and the Sagar Islands and will hold further meetings with district officials on ways to extend the chopper service to these places. I will seek a proper feedback on the proposal and then decide on the future course of action," state tourism minister Krishnendu Narayan Chowdhury told HT.
"Extending the chopper service to Digha and Sagar Islands would go a long way towards enhancing the tourism potential of these places. As for Haldia, a dedicated chopper service would help in the movement of industrialists and corporate tycoons willing to invest there," the minister said.
According to sources, the minister is set to hold a series of meetings on August 5, also featuring transport minister Madan Mitra, representatives of Pawan Hans and officials of both the departments.
Also involving key state officials posted in the proposed new destinations, the meeting would debate on the feasibility of the proposal.
The final call would be made after the meeting, said sources.
"The launch of a joyride chopper service by Pawan Hans has drawn a good response and offers a panoramic, aerial view of the city. We are now keen to extend the service to newer destinations," Chowdhury said.
"We have already begun talks with state ministers and officials on the proposed extension of services," Sanjay Kumar, general manager, marketing, of Pawan Hans told HT.
He said the company would weigh the feasibility of the project before going ahead with the proposed extension of services.
"We have already taken some strides in this regard and will soon sign an MoU with the authorities at the Durgapur airport (Aerotropolis) on provision of necessary infrastructure and requisite facilities for the extension of services there," Kumar said.
He said Pawan Hans was also open to working with the state government on disaster management and sending medical teams to remote corners along with other similar efforts.
The joyride chopper service across the city spans 10 minutes and costs R1,700 perperson.
The choppers used for the service can seat up to 10 passengers along with two pilots.


I attended the second International Beauty Fair of Shiseido last March 13, 2015 by invitation of Ms. Carmel Villongco, the chief makeup artist of Shiseido. I am so happy that I was given the chance to attend the fair as I learned a lot of tips on the workshop. Not only that, I feel pampered and boosted with more confidence while I was at the workshop. Being surrounded by beauty gurus gives me that burst of happiness.
From the assessment done on my skin using the Skin sensor machine at the event, I realized that my skin is very dry and because of that my skin looked older than what my actual age should be.
With that in mind, I decided to get the Bio-Performance Glow Revival Serum for my gift certificate from Shiseido. The only serum I had tried from the brand Shiseido before is the Ultimune sample from my BDJ Box, even with the small amount from the sample it still worked its charm on my skin. That is why I am now curious to try this Bio-Perforance Serum if it will be as effective like the Ultimune Serum. Although there's a big difference on the use of both serums, both of them still gives glowing benefits for the skin.
The bottle comes in a pump container as you can see on the photo below. The pump is easy to press and control on how much serum you needed.
Product Description: Glow Beyond Perfection.
Ingredients: Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Glycerin, Dimethicone, Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone, Sd Alcohol 40-B (Alcohol Denat.), Peg-20, Trehalose, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate, Behenyl Alcohol, Silica, Isostearic Acid, Mica, Phytosteryl Macadamiate, Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891), Stearyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Methyl Stearoyl Taurate, Lauryl Betaine, Methylparaben, Carbomer, Xylitol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Potassium Hydroxidw, Disodium Edta, Fragrance, Glycyl Glycine, 2-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Metaphosphate, Butylene Glycol, Limonene, Sodium Metabisulfite, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Oryzanol, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Saccharomyces Ferment Lysate Filtrate, Alcohol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Benzoate, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Linalool, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Iron Oxides (Ci 77491), Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Crataegus Monogyna Flower Extract, Citronellol, Geraniol, Sodium Benzoate, Tocopherol, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extract.
Before I share my reviews with you, I used this serum solely for 1 month. I did not use any other moisturizers or treatments to aid with my skin care to fully review the product. For cleansing, I used Shiseido Ibuki Softener before I applied the serum at night. I only used the serum once a day and I use it before I go to bed. Although Shiseido recommended a twice a day use, it is quite expensive and I want it to last longer so I only used it once a day.
> After cleansing, softening, and strengthening skin, apply two pumps to face and neck every morning and evening.
> Follow with daily moisturizer.
> When I applied it on my skin, it feels light and I felt relaxed due to its nice floral-like fragrance.
> For a product that claims it reduces dullness, I really believe it through my experience. Even with after a day of use, my skin looked fresher and brighter. I can point a great significance after a month of use. You can see it comparison of my photos below.
> My skin was moisturized without the problem of getting greasy.
> I let my sister use it for testing because she has eczema, she did not react at all and she is very sensitive to skin care products so I can recommend that it is safe for people with sensitive skin.
> The serum is not thick so it is easy to spread on skin with just one drop. I use two to three half-pump of serum for my whole face and neck. So one bottle will last for a few months unless used twice a day.
> Expensive but splurging once in awhile can be okay specially if you want to invest on your skin.
> Not all the skin discoloration was corrected in one month of use, I will continue to use it for more improvement.
How To Use: (As suggested on Shiseido website) Apply two pumps to face and neck each morning and evening after cleansing, softening and after Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate.
I achieved the brighter and glowing skin after a month of use, what more if I continued using it. To think, I only use it once a day and their recommended use is twice a day. Just looking at my old photo of Day 0, I am grossed out for my own skin. LOL. I hope that when I take the Skin Sensor Machine test again that my skin age will be closer to my real age. I am now curious to re-take it after I saw the improvement on my skin.

Bantams boss Stuart McCall was left frustrated by City's first half performance and the nature of the goals they conceded - but he still feels his side could easily have taken something from the game.
Lyle Taylor's swerving drive from outside the box twenty minutes from the end proved to be the winner for AFC Wimbledon, despite City hitting the woodwork three times.
Taylor's effort for goal appeared to swerve out of the grasp of Rouven Sattelmaier and into the corner of the goal as the German shot-stopper tried to make the save.
Before Taylor's winner, Wimbledon had originally taken the lead in just the seventh minute through Cody McDonald when the striker had raced onto a long forward pass and knocked the ball past the on-rushing Sattelmaier.
Wimbledon created chances to increase their lead during a forceful first period display, with McDonald and Taylor both going close.
Matthew Kilgallon did hit the bar for City but McCall's men weren't at their best in the opening period.
Paul Taylor's close range leveller two minutes after the break gave City the perfect start to the second half.
Even after Taylor's goal for Wimbledon, City had chances to score again and claim something from the match.
Nicky Law headed against the far post five minutes after Wimbledon's second, while the recalled Adam Thompson crashed a shot against the opposite post deep into injury time.
McCall said: "It is disappointing that we were nowhere near our very best in the first period.
"We improved a lot after the break, but you cannot expect to give the goals away that we did and still win the match.
"Having said that, we certainly didn't have any luck either.
"We've hit the crossbar in the first period, hit the inside the post through (Nicky) Lawsy in the second period, and then hit the post in the last seconds.
"We'd talked before the game about Cody McDonald's desire to get in behind, but there was that bit of indecision with us and he's nipped in.
"It was a difficuit game for us to get a foot-hold in. They were clearly boosted by the early goal.
"They were better than us in the first period. Their front two caused more problems than our front two, and their midfielders were first to too many balls and won too many second balls.
"We knew we had to play quicker in the second period, and our goal comes from getting the ball forward quickly.
"Their second goal has taken the edge off things a bit, however, and given them something to hang onto.
"The spirit the lads showed and the chances we created at the end merited more than we got out of the game.
"Both Lawsy and (Adam) Thommo's chances looked like they were going in. When that doesn't happen, you get the feeling it isn't your day.
"We have a chance to re-group now and put in a performance (vs Peterborough United) on Boxing Day."

Disney's SAVING MR BANKS Premiere Images
December 11, 2013 By // by Coralie Leave a Comment
Disney's SAVING MR BANKS Premiere was on December 9, 2013. Here are some of the images from the premiere and more information about the movie! I know I can't wait to see it.
Two-time Academy Award®–winner Emma Thompson and fellow double Oscar®-winner Tom Hanks topline Disney's "Saving Mr. Banks," inspired by the extraordinary, untold backstory of how Disney's classic "Mary Poppins" made it to the screen.
When Walt Disney's daughters begged him to make a movie of their favorite book, P.L. Travers' "Mary Poppins," he made them a promise—one that he didn't realize would take 20 years to keep. In his quest to obtain the rights, Walt comes up against a curmudgeonly, uncompromising writer who has absolutely no intention of letting her beloved magical nanny get mauled by the Hollywood machine. But, as the books stop selling and money grows short, Travers reluctantly agrees to go to Los Angeles to hear Disney's plans for the adaptation.
For those two short weeks in 1961, Walt Disney pulls out all the stops. Armed with imaginative storyboards and chirpy songs from the talented Sherman brothers, Walt launches an all-out onslaught on P.L. Travers, but the prickly author doesn't budge. He soon begins to watch helplessly as Travers becomes increasingly immovable and the rights begin to move further away from his grasp.
It is only when he reaches into his own childhood that Walt discovers the truth about the ghosts that haunt her, and together they set Mary Poppins free to ultimately make one of the most endearing films in cinematic history.
Inspired by true events, "Saving Mr. Banks" is the extraordinary, untold story of how Disney's classic "Mary Poppins" made it to the screen—and the testy relationship that the legendary Walt Disney had with author P.L. Travers that almost derailed it.

No. Think about a given pattern you may want to display that turns on all 16 leds of a single level (Row) going to a single output pin driving that row. That could be 16 X 20 milliamos of current which is more then the poor row enable pin can supply, hence the need to use 4 switching transistors to drive the 4 levels (Row). That make sense?
Regardless, I am amidst some heady (for me) reading on transistors and hope to understand the use of them for this project if necessary. I have some 2N2222's here and was initially planning on using these on the rows but am having some serious trouble understanding the calculations behind choosing correct resistors to use with the transistors. Any "beginner language" help would be greatly appreciated.
A 2N2222A transistor is really not able to switch 16 x 20ma of current, you need a 'bigger' transistor.
Yes, that does make sense. I was assuming (incorrectly) that multiplexing was for every LED. That is, only one LED would ever be lit at a time, not just for those in a single column (driven by a single pin).
I've read that you should build in some sort of safety factor, of say 2, when selecting the transistor. In this case I would need a transistor with a collector current (Ic) of 640mA minimum.
What should I set by base current (Ib) to? I understand it can be low. Is there a rule of thumb at play here? I'll assume 20mA for the Ib?
Hfe, or the gain (amplification) to the base current, is allegedly calculated Hfe==(5*Ic)/Ib where 5 is a factor used to ensure the switch closes "hard." If this is correct, Hfe=(5*.64)/.02 == 160mA min. I think things are falling apart here as I am not finding transistors that seem to fit this math. If things were correct, I'd now go to the store and try to find a transistor that has a minimum Hfe of 160mA, with a minimum Ic of 640mA, operating at 5V (or should this be 5V - LED voltage drop?).
When trying to "shop" online for a transistor that fits the above specs I was not finding much. I believe I am doing something horribly wrong here.
At the risk of being a FET pusher, try a small MOSFET instead. This is the perfect sort of application for them. You should use a small (100-200R will do fine) resistor for good measure, but the FET gate (analogous to the base of a BJT) has a high impedance, so there's no need to current limit or calculate gains. You'll need a logic level FET.
Nickity, I'm digging this route since, frankly, it seems clearer to me... but that's probably b/c I haven't sunk down into the weeds yet. Is there a benefit/drawback to running these at 20mA vs something lower? It looks like the circuit will all be laid out in the same fashion so there isn't much difference between the two. Would there be any difference in the programming?
Thanks for helping me through this beginning frustration!
It's pretty much that simple. In my opinion, BJTs are more applicable for linear amplification circuits.. take something and make it bigger (in this case, current.) FETs are ideal as switches. They'll both do either, but their characteristics lend themselves to applications. Some will disagree.
On a FET, you need to provide enough voltage to get it switched fully on. The spec sheet will list Rds(on) at a particular voltage. You want to provide the voltage listed in this spec, not the Vgs(thresh) spec. That's where it's just beginning to turn on.
On LEDs.. the current defines brightness. More current, brighter. Less current, dimmer -- and cooler. :-) Nothing special there really.
I too prefer logic level mosfets for simple switching applications. There was a time when the price and device choices were not as good as they are today, but now logic level mosfets of all current/voltage ratings are easy to find.
And as far as defining what current to run leds at in led cube applications, that is one of the real advantages of using external serial in/parallel out shift register to drive the columns. They (some of them anyway) have programmable constant current output drivers. So instead of building your design using fixed current limiting resistor and not really knowing how the final brightness will work out you can change a single resistor on a 16 bit shift register that will change the current value for the leds. So you don't have to commit so early in the design to what brightness level you will end up with.
Thank you for the patience and for helping me understand these basic concepts. This is a great, supportive community. Parts are en route from digi-key.

"The soul of someone from the Origin realm really is terrifying. Before I had broken through, my soul could only cover two to three hundred thousand kilometers, but now that I have broken through, it's suddenly increased by several dozen times the amount before. I can now envelope several million kilometers, which is already most of the Tian Yuan Continent." Jian Chen gently sighed inside. He would have never imagined that it was possible to hold a conversation across several million kilometers, like what he had just done with fairy Hao Yue.
Even though the difference between Saint Emperor and the Origin realm was a single level of cultivation, the difference in actual abilities was overwhelming. Saint Rulers, Saint Kings, and Saint Emperors were all part of Sainthood, and surpa.s.sing Saint Emperor would be crossing into a whole new realm of cultivation.
Although the difference between each cultivation level within Sainthood was very large, it was not impossible to make up for the difference using powerful battle skills or with numbers. However, there were no battle skills or any number of people that could make up for the difference between Saint Emperor and the Origin realm.
All those below Saint Ruler were ants. This was a saying because Saint Rulers comprehended the mysteries of the world and had the power to freeze s.p.a.ce. They could immobilize several hundred Heaven Saint Masters in a single moment. As a result, Heaven Saint Masters were unable to threaten Saint Rulers at all. The difference between Saint Emperor and the Origin realm was similar.
Saint Rulers, Saint Kings, and Saint Emperors all used Saint Force as well as some Spatial Force. Origin realm experts used origin energy. This was a power that surpa.s.sed Saint Force.
Jian Chen rode the Zi Ying Sword and found his way using the senses of his soul. He was surrounded by the violet light from the Zi Ying Sword as he tore through the air at an unbelievable speed. He advanced toward the City of G.o.d in the Holy Empire.
Soon, Jian Chen arrived in the City of G.o.d. He did not want to create a disturbance with his arrival, so he entered the city silently. He flickered a few times through the crowd and entered the headquarters of the Radiant Saint Master Union. Even though the security was tight, it was nothing more than a display to Jian Chen.
The president of the union and the grand elder currently stood on the highest floor in the headquarters. They watched people surge to and fro outside. The two of them were the most respected leaders of the union as well as the two most powerful Cla.s.s 7 Radiant Saint Masters.
However, the president and grand elder's face were riddled with worry because of the recent times. They never displayed the easiness that had once filled their faces.
"The tunnel to the World of Forsaken Saints is rapidly stabilizing. As time goes on, the time of the next wave of the invasion will get closer and closer. We may have had Jian Chen's help, allowing many people to break through and our strength to skyrocket, but I feel like we're still not the foreign world's opponent even with that. Once we are defeated…" The president of the union said with a heavy heart. He and the grand elder had always been worrying about this problem.
The grand elder, dressed in white robes, stood beside with his hands behind his back. He stared at the streets in the distance in a trance. After a moment of silence, he produced a long sigh. "We may have Origin realm experts on our side, but there's only so many of them. They are nowhere near enough to rival the World of Forsaken Saints. In the next battle, it'll be very difficult for us to be victorious. Even if our Origin realm experts can stop the foreign world's Origin realm experts, we still won't be able to match up to them in a battle with people below the Origin realm. We can see this from how the World of Forsaken Saints mobilized several hundred Saint Emperors so easily."
"As it stands right now, unless we have an expert so powerful that he or she can turn the situation around, probably only a Cla.s.s 8 Radiant Saint Master can make a difference when the next wave of invasions come. It's rumored that Cla.s.s 8 Radiant Saint Masters can revive the former masters of Saint Weapons. After all these years on our continent, quite a few Saint Rulers, Saint Kings, and even Saint Emperors have left behind their Saint Weapons after pa.s.sing away in meditation. If we can revive all of them, they would be an extremely terrifying force," said the president.
"How difficult would it be to reach Cla.s.s 8? Your talent's no less than that prodigy from the ancient times, but even with your talent, you've only reached this level after several thousand years of cultivation. Cla.s.s 8 is still very distant from you. Jian Chen may also be a Radiant Saint Master and his talent is greater than yours, but he hasn't cultivated for a thousand years. He's still not going to be able to reach the 8th Cla.s.s. The World of Forsaken Saints would never give us a thousand years to prepare." The grand elder sighed.
"Who said you need a thousand years to reach the 8th Cla.s.s?"
A voice suddenly materialized from behind, right after the grand elder had finished speaking.
The president and grand elder froze because of the sudden voice. Their faces drastically changed. They had failed to discover someone entering the room even with their strength.
However, the two of them soon realized that the voice was familiar. Their expressions were immediately replaced with jubilance as they both turned around suddenly. They saw Jian Chen standing straight behind them.
"Turns out it's you. Come in, come in." The grand elder smiled from the bottom of his head. He did not behave too politely, welcoming Jian Chen like family. The gaze he sent toward Jian Chen was filled with delight.
Even now, the grand elder still could not forget the moment he had given Jian Chen that purple medal. Back then, Jian Chen was still very weak, but the grand elder saw how extraordinary he was, so he gave him a purple medal. However, what he did not think was that in just a few decades, the pitifully weak fighter would become the sovereign of the Tian Yuan Contient.
The president smiled at Jian Chen as well. He was filled with emotion. Before him was not only the human sovereign but his disciple as well.
"Jian Chen, you just said that reaching Cla.s.s 8 doesn't doesn't require thousands of years. May I ask when a Cla.s.s 7 Radiant Saint Master can reach the 8th Cla.s.s then? With the current situation, a Cla.s.s 8 Radiant Saint Master is just far too significant to us," the grand elder sternly inquired.
Jian Chen smiled and did not explain much. He sent the grand elder and president into the artifact s.p.a.ce.
The grand elder and president stood within the hall filled with Radiant Saint Force origin energy in a daze. They did not return to their senses even after a very long time.
What they saw around them was Radiant Saint Force origin energy that had condensed into mist. Even though it was very thin, they still found it extremely shocking in their eyes.

Local biathlete headed to B.C.
Simon Gray seeks support as he shoots for sporting success
Going almost two years without competing hasn't dulled the passion a local biathlete has for the sport, in fact, it's only grown after a trip out west to take on Canada's best.
Simon Gray recently returned from a trip to the Youth/Junior World Championship Trials in Vernon, B.C., where he got to race against the top young biathletes in the nation and learn what it takes to get to the next level.
"You can see the difference in the training, these are athletes that are training five or six times a week and shooting 8,000 to 10,000 rounds a year in their home facilities," said his mother, Rhonda Gray, who joined Simon in B.C. "We've always heard that if you want to pursue biathlon, you probably have to move out west. You can see it once you get here and you're in the environment that yes, you definitely need to be here to get there."
Gray, a Grade-12 student at E.s.p. Nipissing Ouest, first got into the sport through Air Cadets. Biathlon piqued his interest because of his hunting background but it also gave a shy kid from Field a chance to make some new friends. Gray competed in regional competitions for the cadets for three years before starting to compete on the civilian side in 2019.
"I only had one race in my first civilian year and then after that COVID shut everything down for all of last year; it was only training that we were doing," said Simon. "Then this year in December, there was an opportunity to go to a race in Vermont, so I went there for the weekend and raced, and I found out that I still enjoyed it."
From there, the plan was to compete in the World Championship Trials in Valcartier, Que. in January, but provincial restrictions forced the event to move to B.C. The shift not only meant an additional cost to travelling, but it meant Gray's coach, Angele Caporicci, wouldn't be able to make the trip.
Gray races with the Timmins Biathlon Club because it's the closest option that has a coach, highlighting the lack of available options in Ontario. However, because the biathlon community is smaller, it's a tight-knit group that's willing to lend a hand to all athletes. Over the week in Vernon, Gray was able to get coaching help from Tim Hurley of the Chelsea Nordiq Club in Gatineau.

A Chinese reality TV show has been widely criticized for organizing "parent internships," allowing celebrities to live day in and day out with children who are not their own. The outrage follows the pairing of a 23-year-old man with a 4-year-old girl; the two have become a hit "couple" online.
The 23-year-old Olympic fencer, Dong Li, and his "daughter," Arale, – a 4-year-old girl whose real name is Cui Yahan – at first struck many viewers as sweet when the pair debuted in the fourth season of Chinese reality show "Dad, Where Are We Going?" The season premiered on Oct. 7 on Hunan TV.
However, the positive reception soon began to sour as the show broadcast increasingly more intimidate scenes between the young man and small girl, such as Dong bathing the 4-year-old. Many viewers also objected to the pair sharing a bed, with the child's underwear occasionally visible.
Arale said during the TV show that she would like to marry Dong when she grows up, as many young girls would likely say. Dong also joked back during interviews that he would love to have a girlfriend like Arale.
It is unclear whether Dong intended to make jokes or even respond to netizens' comments, especially after several media outlets released stories about the pair, along with photos showing their intimacy – for example, a kiss on the lips. Some netizens even went so far as to write online fan fiction about Dong and Arale as boyfriend and girlfriend.
On Nov. 18, a fund for the protection of underage girl under the umbrella of the China Foundation of Culture and Arts for Children vented the concerns of many viewers, calling for a stop to publicity surrounding the so-called intern father and daughter. In a post on Sina Weibo, the fund pointed out that the reality show is offering a problematic example for young people, encouraging them to believe that the behavior being depicted is proper.
However, the reality show argued on Nov. 19 that the interactions between Dong and Arale were a result of "purity and beauty," which are the biggest charms of the reality series. The show's management argued that the introduction of an "intern father" in the latest season is intended to educate young parents, many of who are around the same age as the celebrities on the show.
The show insisted that it had followed basic rules to protect underage girls, and that Dong's comments in interviews demonstrated nothing more sinister than a father's love. While the production promised to be more careful in the future, its response still disappointed many netizens.

The mainstream media needs more inclusiveness: Reflections on selected foreign policy issues
Farid Shafiyev March 14, 2017

By Farid Shafiyev
After the 2016 US presidential elections, a plethora of articles emerged posing the question: why have people turned to alternative sources of information, instead of relying on ubiquitous and reputable media outlets such as the New York Times (NYT), the Washington Post (WP), CNN, etc.? During the 2016 presidential elections, these media outlets purported to be the guardians of truth and liberal values against racism, white supremacy and isolationism.
However, the mainstream media can hardly be characterized as a bastion of liberalism. Many outlets from this camp were elitist information bases which became a tool in hands of certain political forces or interest groups; or, as Noam Chomsky described it, the agenda-setting media hinged on certain power centers or privileged strata. Certainly, left-wing liberals such as Noam Chomsky never regarded the mainstream as a proponent of liberalism. In the face of hateful rhetoric during the US elections, the Democratic Party appeared to be a champion of liberalism. However, in reality – and particularly with Hillary Clinton – the Democrats had an agenda for a privileged class with some outreach for marginalized groups such as LGBT groups.
A similar trend can be observed in certain European countries where traditional Christian- and social-democrats ceased to promote any meaningful social or economic policy, while populists from right and left took the podium. The result of this process was not only to create a vacuum on the left, but also to provide gains for extremist groups on the right spectrum of domestic politics. Until recently, traditional social media such as Facebook and Twitter were platforms for liberals, revolutionaries, and anarchists (as we recall their role in the Arab Spring). In today's America and elsewhere, social media was accused of facilitating the promotion of radical views and falsifications. Journalists and pundits coined a new term – "post-truth" – to describe the phenomenon of false news and an alternative radical vision of the societal problems. In this context, the Internet is increasingly presented as a medium for dangerous propaganda and social media as a threat to democracy.
The first problem with such representation is that the Internet is, as a matter of fact, only a medium – as is printed news. Both mediums can host polarized views. However, the Internet is much more diverse; therefore, marginal voices can access it and use it to disseminate their views. If the mainstream media would permit free political discourse, those extreme voices would be more effectively rebuffed on a visible podium – as can occasionally be observed at TV talk shows and debates.
For the observed phenomenon of polarized digital media with possible grave consequences for the so-called liberal world order, we should hold responsible not only extremists and populists but also liberals themselves. Liberalism became a banner under which certain groups found agreeable conditions in which to operate. I would like to illustrate this trend by analyzing foreign policy coverage of the mainstream media in the West. The effect of such coverage resulted in the wrong policy decisions – as many diplomats, experts, scholars and public advocates in the West rely precisely on those mainstream media outlets such as NYT, WP and CNN (or, at least, their opinions are strongly influenced by certain pool of major information sources).
One can look at Turkey as one example of this phenomenon. The mainstream media tends to focus on the rise in authoritarianism in this famously secular Middle Eastern country founded by Kemal Ataturk. However, in a quite twisted way, the fight against Kurdish terrorists and armed groups within Turkey and militia groups in Syria is portrayed as liberal thrust against the central governments. A few days before the horrible terrorist act in Istanbul on December 10, 2016, the New York Times ran an article titled Crackdown in Turkey Threatens a Haven of Gender Equality Built by Kurds, written by Rod Nordland. The author claimed that Kurdish political platforms, even including the terrorist organization PKK, gave greater freedom to women – unlike traditional patriarchal Turkish communities. Thus, the Kurdish political movement was portrayed as a progressive human rights and gender equality issue. The problem is that this claim has no scientific basis. It might be true that the gender situation in Kurdish majority areas in Turkey for the past decades has improved, but traditionally it lagged significantly behind other Turkish regions. Kurdish societies in the Middle East remain patriarchal – and this is especially notable in Syria and Iraq as compared to other Muslim communities. The presence of Kurdish female fighters does not translate into more rights in family affairs, just as the presence of female fighters among ISIS members does not translate into improved rights for women in that context.
The human rights issues of Kurdish minorities in the Middle East is a legitimate topic of concern, but it should be decoupled from terrorism and separatism. The old generation of the intelligence community knows that, for example, the PKK had strong links with the Soviet KGB.
The Western attitude toward terrorism in Turkey caused some suspicions regarding the goal of European and American policy makers; for example, condemning the attack on 10 December but not the organizations involved. The mainstream media continue to flatter Kurdish and other separatist movements in the Middle East and adjacent regions.
On Azerbaijan, the New York Times takes an even stronger position with Armenia-backed separatism in occupied Nagorno-Karabakh region (NK). Several American mainstream newspapers actually avoid a term "occupied", despite the fact that this is how NK is described in the relevant UN Security Council resolutions. Instead, they promote its "de-facto independent status." On December 6, 2016, the New York Times gave the floor to an American-Armenian writer Chris Bohjalian to promote the occupation regime in NK in an article entitled My Proud Pilgrimage to My Homeland. For the past twenty years, in which I have followed the New York Times articles related to Azerbaijan, the newspaper has never given the chance for the Azerbaijani view to be expressed.
In both cases, the description of the Times' articles are utterly wrong; however, once it is published, the editorial board of the newspaper rarely gives the floor to the opposite opinion – limiting feedback from readers to very short 'letters to editor.' Promoting separatism in the Middle East and Caucasus Muslim countries became the standard mainstream view of American media. The consequences of that kind of policy from major Western powers are already grave, and may even be worse for the international community as a whole. I recently had a chance to discuss issue of separatism covered under a banner of liberalism in the National Interest. We should remember that migration from the Middle East is one of the main reasons for the rise of extremist political forces in Europe. With more instability and fragmentation in the Middle East, the population flows will be greater.
The mainstream media also failed to reflect on the fate of secularism in the region. Several states which had a history of promoting a secular form of governance and promoting greater gender equality happened to be in an adversary camp of Western leading nations. It is true their human rights record was poor, as with many others in the Middle East. However, destroying those countries without any vision for their future left a vacuum for radical branches of Islam. This ignorance resulted in the complete destruction of secularism, domination of radical Islam, and a threat to democracy in the West itself.
There are many other issues such as the Arab-Israeli conflict, about which Middle Eastern audiences are seeking greater discussion.
Ironically, the Western mainstream media such as CNN devotes less attention to the issues of government surveillance revealed by Julian Assange and Edward Snowden than Moscow sponsored Russia Today. The result of this one-sided coverage is that viewers turn to Al-Jazeera or Russia Today not only to receive news and views, but also to calm their anger over one-sidedness of the Western media.
Critics might challenge my selection of individual articles as the manifestation of the mainstream view. The constraints of a single article do not allow for more in-depth data analysis; however, for those who want to do it, I would make available my findings and accept countervailing opinions.
This is exactly what the mainstream should do and how it must transform. Instead of marginalizing readers and viewers – adding more bitterness to their anger – the mainstream media should become more accommodating, allowing broader discussion and arguments of dissidents. Then it is easier to inject criticism incrementally and defeat radicalism, while keeping a broader audience within reasonable mainstream opinion.

ANSI and IOAS Partner to Strengthen Organic and Sustainable Food Supply Chain
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI), coordinator of the U.S. voluntary standardization system, is pleased to announce an agreement with the International Organic Accreditation Service (IOAS) that will help to strengthen the organic and sustainable food supply chain.
Under the agreement, ANSI will engage IOAS as an independent contractor to perform assessor services, including initial evaluation and ongoing surveillance of specified applicants, for ANSI's food safety accreditation programs.
The agreement applies to certification bodies active in the fields of organic and sustainable agriculture that are already accredited by IOAS or have applied for IOAS accreditation, and have also applied to ANSI for accreditation under one of the following ANSI-recognized programs:
GLOBALG.A.P
British Retail Consortium (BRC): Global Standard for Food Safety
Safe Quality Food (SQF): SQF 2000 Code and SQF 1000 Code
PrimusGFS
"When it comes to sustainable and organic products, consumers want to have confidence in the quality and safety of the food they eat," said Lane Hallenbeck, ANSI vice president of accreditation services. "Food suppliers - and the regulatory bodies that monitor them - demand an assurance that stringent food safety standards are being followed. And trust in this assurance is built on an accreditation assessment of the competence of those organizations certifying compliance with these standards."
ANSI is an internationally recognized accreditation body authorized by various food safety scheme owners to conduct accreditations in accordance with the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). ANSI's authorization by GFSI is by virtue of being a signatory of the Multilateral Recognition Arrangement of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (PAC). Multilateral recognition of product certification eliminates duplicative conformity assessment costs for importers and exporters on a global scale. It also helps reduce technical barriers to trade, transmitting attestations of competence across borders.
IOAS is an independent, non-profit organization specialized in assessment and accreditation in the field of organic and sustainable agriculture. It implements a range of private accreditation schemes in its own right but also works as an assessor under regulatory schemes in Canada and the European Union. For more information on the IOAS, visit www.ioas.org.
"Partnering with ANSI in this aspect of accreditation melds the strengths of both organizations, serves the needs of the marketplace and further enhances the range of services that we provide," said David Crucefix, executive director (Business) of the IOAS.
Recognized by both government and industry as a trusted leader in this arena, ANSI's third-party accreditation helps to establish widespread public confidence in products, personnel, and systems. Product certification bodies that are accredited by ANSI must meet the requirements of Guide 65, General requirements for bodies operating product certification systems, a document developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
For more information on ANSI's accreditation services, visit www.ansi.org/accreditation.

I agree that climate change is probably nonsense, but cleaning up our industries would be a good thing. It's a pity it will impact the economy, though.
Climate change "science" is a lot like astrology. It's based on false assumptions; it has a lot of weird believers; it influences people's lives with little regard for fact or reason; it is used to forward crazy economic and social agendas by corrupt politicians; and one day a lot of people are going to be ashamed they believed in it.
Well, that last part is just wishful thinking.

CAC, MCC, Pima finish high in Daktronics Cup
Westlake, Ohio – Central Arizona, Mesa and Pima all finished among the top 20 schools in the annual Daktronics Cup survey of NJCAA scholarship division schools for the 2018-19 season.
CAC was the top ACCAC finisher with an eighth-place showing. MCC was 12th and Pima 17th among the over 400 schools in the rankings.
The cup is determined by a point system using finishes in NJCAA national championship competition. It is administered by the National Association of Two-Year College Athletic Administrators (NATYCAA) and sponsored by scoreboard manufacturer Daktronics.
Central enhanced its standing with a pair of national championships. The Vaqueros won Division I titles in baseball and men's cross country.
Mesa's top national showing came in baseball where the T-Birds placed second in the Division II national championship tournament.
For Pima, men's soccer was the highlight with the Aztecs capturing the NJCAA Division I national crown.
The top 30 Daktronics Cup finishers.


ENCINITAS – After the fall, life was markedly different for the couple.
The humor, love and joy were all still there, but for the last three years of their relationship it was marred by hospital stays, rehabilitation efforts and the sight of a loved one connected to all sorts of medical machinery.
Three years ago, Katherine "Kat" Wilson had suffered a subdural hematoma after falling.
Veins ruptured in her head, causing blood to put pressure on her brain.
More than 20 years before that, Kat and Tom Whayne met during a docent training session at the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art where the two would become volunteers.
"I'm sitting there listening and here comes this woman," said Whayne. "It was just a connection and it worked out beautifully," he said.
It seemed like an unlikely connection – Kat was a stone republican and Whayne, a left-wing democrat that would cancel each other's votes out.
But they had plenty in common. They reveled over an Ellsworth Kelly painting at the museum, and they both loved poetry.
Hardly could it be known that the last few years of their relationship would eventually become the subject of a series of poems Whayne would write.
A trio of poems, documenting the three phases of what had happened to Kat beginning with the fall, to her rehab, to what life was like only a month before her death were a part of about 25 poems that Whayne wrote during that time.
Earlier this year, Whayne was invited to read his three poems in New York at a Narrative Medicine event.
Narrative Medicine is prose or poetry that describes a person in a hospital room, a person who is a caregiver, a person who is in a nursing home; all of the surrounding details of illness, Whayne explained.
"It's not related to scientific medicine; it's related to people's feelings," he said.
The Intima, an online journal, is a student-created entity of the Narrative Medicine Master's Program at Columbia University.
The goal of Narrative Medicine is to help enhance communication and understanding between health care givers and their patients, according to its website.
Whayne, a drama teacher in Oakland during the '60s, studied English Literature at Stanford University as an undergrad with poet Yvor Winters, who, Whayne said, didn't like his poetry.
But writing the poetry these past few years was a helpful way for him to cope, he said.
"The way it would work," he said, "Kat would sleep a lot and we would have dinner…and then we always would, I wouldn't look at them now for a million bucks, (watch) Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!
"We would both get in bed and Kat, she couldn't answer the questions on Jeopardy!, but she liked to watch it. But her mind was not affected in such a way she could solve the word problems on Wheel of Fortune. So the two of us would sit there, two old farts, and we would watch these two programs. Then, when they were over, the caregiver, and we had a caregiver for all the three years, would start getting her ready for bed.
As time went on, Whayne would take Kat to the museum to look at the Kelley painting.
Her lack of interest in the painting, the big wash of red, blue and green watercolor paints that drove the docents crazy whenever anyone, especially children, got too close to it, signaled to him, he said, that she didn't want to live anymore.
What is she dying of? What is she failing with? Whayne would ask the doctor.
"And the doctor looked at me and went, 'I don't know, but here, we say frailty.' And that was how they described her passing," Whayne said. She was 89 years old.
Whayne said he would make one last visit to their now empty Pacific Beach home, where the couple lived up until earlier this year.
"It may be pure sentimentality – maudlin sentimentality, I don't know, but I'm going to do it.
He continues to write today, though now it's back at his Leucadia home.
He still remembers the first poem he was driven to write, seeing her under all the wires and things and his kissing her and then the realization. "And it was just a poetic feeling," he said.


"The Type 45 destroyer is an impressive and sophisticated piece of air defence naval weaponry, based largely on new technology. Our Committee saw for itself just how advanced the ship is in terms of manoeuvrability and speed. But the risks to the successful delivery of the Type 45 were poorly judged.
"Persistent over-optimism and underestimation of the technical challenge, combined with inappropriate commercial arrangements, led to burgeoning costs and serious delays.
"It is encouraging though to hear that the Department appears to be applying the lessons from the Type 45 project and its actions to turn the project around to its programme to procure the two aircraft carriers.
"HMS Daring, the first of the six Type 45s, will not now enter service until the end of 2009, over two years late and £1.5 billion over the original budgeted cost. What is disgraceful is that it will enter service with not one of its main anti-air missiles having been fired from the ship - and it will not be fully operational until 2011. The fleet of Type 45s will not have their full capability until well into the next decade. As a result, the existing Type 42 destroyers are having to be patched up and kept in service for longer.
"In the Committee's view, there are two deeply worrying implications for the UK's air defence capability. One is our having to rely for a number of years on ageing vessels designed and built for the Cold War. The other is that, even when the full complement of six Type 45s is fully operational, this number of new destroyers falls short of the 12 originally planned and then eight subsequently proposed, making it very difficult for the MOD to meet its requirement of having five ships at sea at any one time."
Mr Leigh was speaking as the Committee published its 30th Report of this Session which, on the basis of evidence from the Ministry of Defence, examined capability provided by the Type 45 Destroyer, the reasons for the cost increases and delays on the project, and the lessons learnt for the Carrier project and support contract.
The Type 45 Destroyer is being procured to form the backbone of the Royal Navy's air defence capability for the next 30 years, and will provide a very impressive capability compared to the Type 42 Destroyers which is it designed to replace. There have been a number of problems on the project, meaning it will enter service over two years late and £1.5 billion over its original budget.
The Department has had to extend the life of the Type 42 Destroyers for longer than originally planned as a result of the delays to the Type 45. These ships are increasingly expensive to maintain, provide a more limited capability than the Type 45 and are more vulnerable to the most up to date threats from a modern enemy.
The Department originally planned to buy 12 ships. However, because of reduced threat, revised planning assumptions and an intended improved network capability, this number shrunk to eight and eventually just six. Despite this, the Department's requirement to have five ships at sea at any one time remains unchanged. It will be more challenging for the Department to meet this requirement with only six ships.
The problems on the Type 45 project result from the Department's failure to take sufficient account of the technical risks involved in such a complex project in its estimates of the likely costs and timescales to deliver, or in the commercial construct which it agreed, which led to a poor relationship with industry. Following a far-reaching review of the project, the contract was renegotiated in 2007, and there have been no further cost increases or delays since then.
Although the Type 45 will enter service in 2009, it is a disgrace that it will do so without a PAAMS missile having been fired from the ship, and will not achieve full operational capability until 2011. Other equipments and capabilities which will enhance the ship's ability to conduct anti-air warfare operations will not be fitted until after the ship enters service in some cases.
It is essential that the Department learns the lessons from both the failures and successes on this project, and applies them to its other programmes such as the Carrier, if it is to avoid a repeat of the cost overruns and time delays that have been a feature of so many of its major Defence projects. The Department also needs to apply the lessons in taking forward its longer-term support arrangements for the Type 45, which have yet to be finally agreed.

Our imaginative planners went all-out to create a captivating experience for the 100 guests who stepped into 9OFS on November 9. We invite you to take a look at the finished product—a flawless modern event filled with personality and inspiration.
The black cherry bourbon smash signature cocktail that greeted guests at 9OFS made a fantastic first impression. Bourbon, sweet vermouth, bitters, cherry juice and black cherry garnish gave many guests their first taste of an unsurpassed company event.
Boston Event Lighting did an incredible job of creating a vibrant ambiance in this breathtaking Boston venue. The beaming blue outdoor lighting and brilliant red indoor uplighting brought extra energy and excitement to guests. Complementary bold red floral pieces added a classy touch throughout the modern space and focused guests' attention on key areas and offerings.
Add in the incredible city views that 9OFS offers, with both stunning buildings and lush grass spreads in close proximity, and it is no wonder guests were captivated by the scene. From the time doors opened at 4:30pm to the event close at 10pm, the talented DJ from Beat Train Productions had quite the backdrop for entertaining guests.
But even with energy and enthusiasm at an all-time high, the company wanted guests to be able to relax and unwind. Many great ideas and emotions were shared in the lounge. Guests decompressed in this comfortable modern setting.

Guests had no problem finding plenty of desirable food and drinks throughout the event. There certainly was no shortage of either, especially when you take a look at the full bar, which included red and white wines, a phenomenal array of beers, mixers and other favorite alcoholic beverages. It is not surprising that in all the amazing photos David Fox Photography captured there are plenty of drinks in hand!
Whether the joy comes from featured guests like former New England Patriots players Rob Ninkovich and Niko Koutouvides or the newest company client, we are always overjoyed to see each guest enjoy a flawless experience. With creativity and professionalism abundant, it was a pure pleasure working together to make this event a huge success.

Myrtle Mae Gustin
Myrtle "Mae" Gustin passed away peacefully September 5, 2020 and was preceded in death by her husband, Willard L. Gustin. Mae was born on June 3rd, 1927 in Waukon, Iowa to Earl and Myrtle Beardmore. She was baptized and confirmed at Mount Hope Presbyterian church in rural New Albin, Iowa. Mae attended her first two years of college at Hamlin University where she met her roommate and future sister-in-law, Rae Holthusen Beardmore. She then attended Iowa State University, was a member of the Kappa Delta sorority and in 1949, she earned a Bachelors of Science in Textiles and Clothing. During her university years, Mae had many accomplishments. At 21 she was Waukon's reigning 1947 Corn Day Queen. As a senior at Iowa State, her planning and fashion work led her to designing and drawing up the blue prints and working plans for her parent's two-story, four bedroom home. It was later described as a "feminine Frank Lloyd Wright" design. During that time, Mae also met her soon to be husband, Willard L. Gustin of Blair, Nebraska who was also attending Iowa State. After graduation, Mae taught K-12 Art Instruction in the Decorah Iowa Public School District. Mae and Willard married February 15, 1951 and shortly after moved to Willard's hometown of Blair, Nebraska where he farmed and they began their family. During those years, Mae was active in Blair's United Methodist Church, PEO-Chapter EQ and the American Association of University Women (AAUW). Her love for fashion and design never left her and she began painting and selling intricate miniature paintings in the 1980s, showing at many galleries and shows in multiple states. She also helped in decorating parts of the United Methodist Church and Blair's Crowell Home. Mae's life was a living example of the bible verse, Ephesians 4:32 – "And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ." She always told her children they could do and be anything they wanted in their life, if they put their minds to it. Survivors include her four children: Tahni Gustin of Blair, Nebraska, Rick Gustin of Homer, Alaska, Lisa Gustin (Paul Duran) of Glenwood, Iowa and Karen Gustin of Lincoln, Nebraska; two grandchildren: Dana Engel of Corvallis, Oregon and Caleb Engel of Denver, Colorado; and two sisters: Jane Schoh and Ruby Herman of Waukon, Iowa. She was preceded in death by her parents, a brother Glenn Beardmore, a sister Helen Mohwinkle; sisters-in-law: Rae Beardmore, Elaine (Joe) Campbell, Bettie (John) Kiernan; three brothers-in-law: Delton Mohwinkle, Nyles Herman and Leon Schoh, all of Waukon, Iowa; and numerous nieces and nephews. Mom was our angel on earth and the heavens opened their gates wide to welcome her back home. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to an organization of donor's choice. Services are currently pending with Campbell Aman Funeral Home.

When I [Bryan Magee] asked him [Bertrand Russell] who he regarded as the greatest man he had ever met, he needed longer to consider his reply. In the end he came up with Lenin. When I asked why, he said it was because Lenin combined a brilliant mind with genius-level ability as a man of action, and this gave him extraordinary stature and effectiveness as a person. Also, he had changed the entire course of world history in a way few individuals ever do. However, he added, Lenin was not in the least morally admirable: he came near to boasting about the enormous scale of the death and suffering he was causing, and laughed about it in conversation with Russell.

Cocktail culture is increasingly gaining its footing in the South. Having a range of dense cooking flavors to match up to, Southern influence can be seen in classic cocktails, Prohibition-era style drinks, and influence modern creations. At the heartbeat are whiskey and bourbon.


The state of Maine's decision to enter into a lease for the former Marine Atlantic Ferry Terminal property on Eden Street in Bar Harbor for three years, and the Department of Transportation's willingness to pay the $1 million cost, is welcome news on the economic sustainability front.
As town after town in Maine has discovered, once vital access to the ocean is lost, or chances to acquire additional shorefront are squandered, such opportunities seldom come around again.
For more than 60 years, the former Bluenose ferry terminal has been a vital link, not only between the land and the sea, but also between two countries. Over those decades, the level or schedule of service frequently changed, but the benefits of having a veritable front door to the rest of the world remained. Should the ferry terminal land here eventually be sold to a private developer, there is little to no chance it would ever be available for public purposes again.
Chances are, whether through adaptation to also handle cruise ships or with the eventual resumption of ferry service to Canada, the property can continue to serve the town, the island and the entire region in a vital way.
It would not be surprising if the Canadian government would be willing to reduce the final sale price in return for a proviso that accommodation be made for the eventual return of ferry service should the less-than-successful experiment with running to Portland eventually cease.
While the appropriate level of cruise ship activity remains the subject of robust debate, a recent survey of Bar Harbor residents showed that more than two-thirds support keeping the ferry terminal in public hands. That margin would undoubtedly increase when folks come to fully understand the additional importance of that area for possible ferry service, marina or commercial fisheries uses.
With the execution of this lease, the countdown clock is ticking. The state's willingness to step up in this situation buys vital time for the community to further hone its vision for that property.


Another one! DJ Khaled is back to provide your Summer soundtrack. "No Brainer" was released today featuring Justin Bieber, Quavo, and Chance the Rapper.
Following the news of Bieber's engagement to Hailey Baldwin, "No Brainer" was first announced earlier this week on DJ Khaled's Instagram.
Bieber opens with the upbeat hook "You stick out of the crowd, baby, it's a no-brainer, it ain't that hard to choose, him or me, be for real, baby, it's a no-brainer," followed by verses from Quavo and Chance respectively.
Dj Khaled closes the track with his, presumably, new catch phrase "Father of Ashad!" Father of Ashad will also serve as the title for Khaled's upcoming album, due this Fall.
Following the success of last year's "I'm The One," featuring the same iconic team-up (Where's Wayne at?), it was a no brainer to reunite for a second chance at the coveted Song of the Summer title.
DJ Khaled's "Im The One" went 5x Platinum and debuted at number one on Billboard's Hot 100 list. Will the follow up be as successful? Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments.
