They are colourful due to the mesh mat that is covered in asphalt and sprinkled with granules that offer colour and serve to reflect the sunlight. They are very light-weight and have an above typical limit for tearing.
This shingle type is more difficult to work with since it's bulkier in comparison to fibreglass. It does, however, use exceptional stability against high winds. They are made of paper that generally has been recycled and saturated in asphalt and sprinkled with granules.
This type of roof tile is lasting, excellent looking, and economical. They will often last for the life time of a house. They are fire wind and hail resistant also. Because of their longevity they are budget friendly and economical too.
The current patterns in roof are shifting in favour of metal roof that is far more durable and energy effective. In current times, the need in metal roof is enjoying a renewal as more people are understanding its advantages of much better protection against things like hail storms, airborne coal landing on roofs as a result of fires and tropical type winds.
An unequaled quality of metal roof is the fact that it has a class 'A' fire score, which is the highest offered. This indicates it can withstand the test of 15 cycles of gas flames turned on and off and can withstand flames up to four hours.
Asphalt shingles at first have a substantially low expense throughout installation, however their life time expense is higher than that of concrete tile, slate or metal roofs since of their structure.
Building and construction of a flat roofing system in Mansfield does not utilise your regular products such as corrugated metal, concrete tiles, asphalt shingles. Instead, flat roofing system systems need product such as EPDM rubber, TPO, and PVC among others.
Standard products would not work on a flat roofing system since they need pitch in order for the water to waterfall. Our primary objective when doing a flat roofing system is to merely create a barrier that is impregnable by water.
There are two choices when it comes to picking an ideal flat roof product. The finest method is picking a substance that is visually appealing while at the exact same time fits within your budget and can attain the obvious objective of being durable despite the penalizing components.
Although the life expectancy of flat roofs differ, they are mostly determined by a couple of aspects such as proper installation, weather patterns in Nottinghamshire as well as a roofing system that is often accessed will have the tendency to use down faster.
Although described as flat roofing system, this roof system needs to be angled somewhat by a couple of degrees in order to avoid ponding. This is quite much like the method a rain gutter is made to be somewhat inclined in order for the water to flow to the downspout.
Our team is likewise geared up to deal with commercial jobs and provide on time. Naturally, it starts by asking you in terms of the roof needs of your commercial home.
Normally, aspects to be thought about in determining the finest roof system for an industrial structure consist of the area, type and location of the roof .

Playing the Cards You're Dealt
The Parker Inheritance
The Great Greene Heist
To Catch a Cheat
Behind the Scenes Facts about The Parker Inheritance:
Note: Mild Spoilers Ahead
The book went through fifteen drafts! The original working title was WHEN IT WAS LIKE SEPTEMBER…which no one liked. It was then THE PACKER INHERITANCE, but that reminded me too much of the Green Bay Packers.
The novel was first set in the 1980s! Candice was rocking New Edition and Janet Jackson posters on her walls. Also, the novel didn't start out with dual timelines. I didn't realize I needed that until I'd already written the first seven chapters.
The first chapter of the book—from Abigail Caldwell's point of view—was actually the last chapter I wrote. (The paperback backmatter goes into much more detail on how much the opening of the book changed.)
My editor, Cheryl Klein, sent me the longest editorial letter of my career while we were working on this book. The letter was TWENTY-ONE pages. SINGLE SPACED.
One of the many good ideas that came from that editorial letter was THE BRACELET! This was one of my favorite elements of the book—but it didn't exist until late in the writing process. And once I had the bracelet, I knew how I wanted the book to end!
Mentor "texts" for weaving the bracelet in and out of the story include POSSESSION by A.S. Byatt, STATION ELEVEN by Emily St. John Mandel, HOLES by Louis Sacher, and the Christopher Nolan movie, INCEPTION.
The last line of the book was inspired by Obama's 2008 campaign chant, "YES WE CAN."
The color scheme for the different timelines in the book—I wish I could take credit for that, but that was all the brainchild of my other editor, Nick Thomas, and book designer, Nina Goffi.
Near the end of the book, Candice mentions an author who wrote a book about raccoons. The author is C. Alexander London, and the book is THE WILD ONES.
The reason that Candice's dad works in construction and her mom is a writer? See my twitter bio.
Last one…and I'm trying to write this in a way that avoids spoilers…key character names in the book were inspired by the names of two historic board game manufacturers. Any guesses on the manufactures?

Skorba Temples
Mġarr, Malta
The Skorba temples are megalithic remains which have provided detailed and informative insight into the earliest periods of Malta's neolithic culture. The site was only excavated in the early 1960s, rather late in comparison to other megalithic sites, some of which had been studied since the early 19th century. The site's importance has led to its listing as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a listing it shares with six other megalithic temples in Malta.
The area around Skorba appears to have been inhabited very early in the Neolithic period. When the eminent Maltese historian Sir Temi Żammit excavated the nearby temples of Ta' Ħaġrat, only a single upright slab protruded from a small mound of debris on the Skorba site. Archeologists ignored this mound until David H. Trump excavated it between 1960 and 1963.
The remains on the site are a series of megalithic uprights (one of them 3.4m high), the lowest course of the temples' foundations, paving slabs with libation holes in the entrance passage, and the torba floor of a three-apse temple. This three-apse shape is typical of the Ġgantija phase. Unfortunately, the greater part of the first two apses and the whole of the façade have been razed to ground level.
The north wall is in a better state of preservation. Originally, the entrance of the temple opened on a court, but in later additions during the Tarxien phase, the temple's doorway was closed off, with altars set in the corners formed by the closure. East of this temple, a second monument was added in the Tarxien phase, with four apses and a central niche.
For a period of roughly twelve centuries before the temples were built, a village already stood on the site. Its oldest extant structure is the eleven metre long straight wall to the west of the temples' first entrance. Deposits at its base contained material from the first known human occupation of the island, the Għar Dalam phase, including charcoal, which carbon analysis dated to 4850 BC.
The pottery found on the site is divided into two styles, the Grey Skorba phase distinguished by grey-colored pottery with no motifs, and the Red Skorba phase, which is exactly like the grey Skorba but colored using red ocher.

Very small old stones temple. Must buy tickets in city if you want go inside. For me much more interested to see all small this town with very beautiful church.
Robin MacDonald (3 years ago)
Excellent site as the temples are around 5500 years old. Set back to the right of the entrance facing the temples is another excavation. I was told by archaeologists working on this small digging that what was uncovered were dwellings that predate the temples by around 1000 to 1500 years.
Jeremy Pullicino (3 years ago)
The historical value is great at this site. There is not much to see, however if you look up the history beforehand, you can appreciate what you are looking at. Parking is not too hard. There is also a small playground close by where the children can get rid of some energy. I recommend going in winter when it is not too hot since there is not much shade on the site.

Hungarian land on sale: stunning numbers!
Budapest taxi companies joyful as revenues shoot up
Ármin Ferenci
Land prices have been steadily rising for the past ten years in the country, the last year recording a 9% increase. Everything added up, an average one hectare of land is now worth 250% more than in 2010.
As agrarszektor.hu pointed out, 2018 saw a 13% increase in the number of transactions amid a 2% reduction in actual landmass changing hands. The average price for one hectare of land rose from 1.199 million HUF (approx. 3.7m Euros) to 1.312 million HUF (4.1m Euros): a 9% increase. Veszprém county observed the most significant boost in average prices for one hectare (28%), followed by Somogy and Komárom-Esztergom's growth of 15%. The only reduction in average rates was in Nógrád county, known for being one of Hungary's more impoverished areas.
When broken down to different types of land, orchards and vineyards recorded the biggest rise in prices, 21 and 16% respectively.
When it comes to agricultural land, there has been a difference in trends: the setback of 2017 has been reversed, and we saw an increase in the number of sales. These sales, however, followed varying patterns: Pest county recorded a 57% decrease in sales while sales in Zala, Somogy and Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok counties shot up by more than 50%.
One important takeaway from these figures is that although the number of transactions rose, the amount of landmass sold decreased. This means that
the average parcel of land sold is much smaller than the previous year. Land fragmentation persists and does so without any regulation.
Uncertainty over the CAP (Common Agriculture Policy) of the European Union might have some restricting effects on the market, but overall the rise in prices is expected to continue – István Szabó, Agricultural vice director of OTP bank stated. He further evaluated the numbers and explained that subsidies, tax exemptions and the overall financial environment are most likely what is behind the increase in both sales and prices.

The University of Missouri (UM) System has engaged EY-Parthenon to create a task force dedicated to developing its e-learning program.
In November 2018, the UM System Board of Curators discussed a 25,000-student enrollment surge that was estimated to take place over the next five years because of enhancements in the system's e-learning program.
As part of the agreement, EY-Parthenon will support the development of new enhancements that will allow the system to reach students and adult learners in underserved populations in and out of Missouri.


The German consortium Neubau KW in Lünen, Germany, successfully relied on Wacker Neuson's concrete technology for concreting a turbine platform. In 2008, work started on a modern coal-fired power plant in Lünen, Westphalia. The contracting consortium of Heitkamp und Züblin relied on Wacker Neuson's advice and high-quality equipment for concreting the turbine platform. This helped them achieve superior results in a very short space of time.
The building contractor Pöttinger is involved with the construction of "Parkside Leopold" – a huge residential complex at Leopoldstraße 250. Its base is perfectly compacted concrete by Wacker Neuson.
The Turkish-Italian construction industry joint venture IC İçtaş-Astaldi relied on the innovative heating technology of the Wacker Neuson Group for the interior work of the third terminal of the St. Petersburg-Pulkovo International Airport.


We've introduced dozens of key online-marketing concepts in this book, as well as some of their inextricable offline counterparts. There's one final trick, though: all this activity must come from one chief marketing officer's budget. And in the past few years, many of those budgets have been stagnant or shrinking. Even if budgets had exploded, they are still only one source of funds spread out across many marketing bets. So, which bets get the bigger stakes?
Marketing mix is at the essence of the chief marketing officer's dilemma. Like the many marketing options it includes, the term originated in the 1950s and is still evolving with the onset of all things digital, automated, or social.

Q: JUnit ServiceTest for delete method which tells me Wanted but not invoked I am stuck at a delete test now.
Here is the delete method of PostServiceImpl.class
@Override
public void deletePostById(Long id) {
    Post post = postRepository.findById(id)
            .orElseThrow(() -> new ResourceNotFoundException("post", "id", id));

    postRepository.delete(post);
}

PostServiceTest.class
@BeforeEach
public void setup() {
    postDto = new PostDto();
    postDto.setId(1L);
    postDto.setTitle("test title");
    postDto.setDescription("test description");
    postDto.setContent("test content");

    post = new Post();
    post.setId(1L);
    post.setTitle("test title");
    post.setDescription("test description");
    post.setContent("test content");
}

@Test
void givenPostId_whenDeletePost_thenNothing() {

    Long postId = 1L;

    BDDMockito.given(postRepository.findById(postId))
            .willReturn(Optional.of(post));

    BDDMockito.willDoNothing().given(postRepository).deleteById(postId);

    postService.deletePostById(postId);

    Mockito.verify(postRepository, Mockito.times(1)).findById(1L);
    Mockito.verify(postRepository, Mockito.times(1)).deleteById(1L);
}

and this is the output:
Wanted but not invoked:
postRepository.deleteById(1L);
-> at com.springboot.blog.service.PostServiceTest.givenPostId_whenDeletePost_thenNothing(PostServiceTest.java:148)

However, there were exactly 2 interactions with this mock:
postRepository.findById(1L);
-> at com.springboot.blog.service.PostServiceImpl.deletePostById(PostServiceImpl.java:95)

postRepository.delete(
Post(id=1, title=test title, description=test description, content=test content, createdTime=null, updatedTime=null));
-> at com.springboot.blog.service.PostServiceImpl.deletePostById(PostServiceImpl.java:98)

I do not really know what mistakes I made and any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks!

A: You are checking whether
postRespository.deleteById(1l);

is being called once here
Mockito.verify(postRepository, Mockito.times(1)).deleteById(1L);

But your PostServiceImpl.class is not calling that method. It is calling the
postRepository.delete(post);

which takes the Post class as parameter. Change the verification statement to
Mockito.verify(postRepository, Mockito.times(1)).delete(post);

and it should work.

If you have recently started reading my blog thank you for stopping by. My numbers have been growing and I am excited. New readers may not have come upon my more political oriented posts, which I regularly write. The reason for my non-political emphasis lately is that I have been focused for the New Year on my positive mental and emotional state and politics can be very challenging to keep a positive frame of mind.
A case in point of the inherent negativism is President Elect Obama who is already getting criticism from everyone who has an opinion and he is not even in office yet. We all have opinions but for many of the so-called experts seem to feel the need to be right and let their ego's strut about. I have come to the place that I try to ignore most opinion and instead find my own truths by listening in and feeling. I use to listen to Air America because I liked their slant on things but lately most seem to be just ego's on display. Al Franken was very good when he was on that network with humor and truth seeking. He will make a great Senator because he is a very thoughtful person.
I am rambling about I just realized so let me see if I can get to my point. The best way to see how President Obama is doing is to see the results he creates. There are so many things wrong after the last 8 years of horrendous leadership. Obama's task almost seems impossible but I believe greatly in us humans to rise to the occasion. This must be a government in which the people get back involved. If we don't there will just be more years of the same corrupted power.
We are at a very transformative moment in human history. We can continue down the path of planetary destruction and the elimination of the middle class / power in the hands of the few or we can alter the course. It is really up to you and I and everyone.
My choice is to continue to write and be as involved as I can be in encouraging all of us to make a positive difference. I will emphasize a positive difference and do my very best to be focused on solutions instead of problems. Please excuse my occasional rant. The positive emphasis is because I personally don't want to be in the energy of blaming, complaining, and spreading fear, which is counterproductive and self-destructive to one's personal life.
In this next year I suggest we all look forward positively and take action that makes productive things happen. Let's focus on where we want to go not on the mistakes of the past. Really redirecting our nation and the planet is going to take the best and most optimistic part of us to succeed.
The key questions seem to be: can we be compassionate enough; can we have enough patience; will we gain enough understanding; and what is for the good of all people and the planet?

FAAN underscores importance of synergy among airport security agencies
*Dunoma
As the need to protect passengers, staff and aircraft which use the airports from accidental/malicious harm, crime and other threats arises, the director of aviation security at the Federal Airports Authority of a Nigeria (FAAN), Group Capt. Usman Abubakar Sadiq (rtd) has called for synergy among security agencies at all the airports to stop such incidents.
Speaking at the annual lecture of FAAN's Aviation Security Department at the international wing of the Murtala Mohammed Airport, Lagos with the theme 'Aviation Security: An integral part of National Security' Sadiq said aviation security (AVSEC) plays an integral part of national security as it is statutorily charged with the responsibility of providing security services at airports nationwide.
The director who was represented by FAAN's acting general manager, administration, Mr. Ben Ailemen said information sharing is vital to collectively tackle any security issues that might arise, stressing that no security agency can work in isolation or handle security matters alone and achieve success.
He stressed that the responsibility is clearly spelt out in ICAO Security Manual DOC-8973-" Safeguarding Civil Aviation Against Unlawful interference" which includes the safety of passengers, airlines, ground personnel, crew members, the public and facilities.
"Every security agency plays a role in the overall security of the nation and as such all must not carry themselves as being superior to the other but must work as partners in progress to ensure the airport as an entry point is safe and free of security breaches.
"Thus, as the security architecture or security sector is not complete without the military, police or intelligence service, so also is the absence of aviation security in national security set up is incomplete due to the specialized security service it renders.
"The most important thing is to consider the present state of collaboration among security deployed to our airports. There exit gaps in the areas of cooperation, information sharing and synergy which need to be closed in order to meaningfully tackle the security challenges facing the nation," said.
In welcome remarks, the chief security officer at the airport, Mr. Mammam Sadiku said AVSEC capacity is not only to effectively surmount the present challenges bordering on airside security but also to assure adequate security and protection of all stakeholders and investments.
"I am excited to add that the highest level of the authority's management, an enviable leadership, commitment and support has been displayed again and again in an unequivocal manner. For this, we are grateful and are rededicated to achieving the core mission of developing and profitably managing customer-centric airport facilities for safe, secured and efficient carriage of passengers and goods at world- class standards of quality," he added.
Contributors at the event stressed the need for heads of security agencies at the airport to give importance to meetings held monthly to discuss security matters and the way forward.
Security service manager at the Nigeria Aviation Handling Company, Nahco aviance, Commodore Mohammed Lawal Badamasi (rtd) expressed displeasure over the little attention given to such meetings when subordinates of heads of agencies are sent to represent their bosses.
"It does not say well of that officer; the subordinates might not be able to explain in details all that transpired during the meeting and also, there would never be a feedback.
" I think we have not given security the importance it deserves; airport security committee meetings you have heads of security agencies that are supposed to be the main people but they do not attend. Rather, they send all sorts of representatives. That shows the level of importance they attach to that important decision making body," he stressed.
For their part, aviation security officers highlighted the challenges they face on a daily basis, especially in the hands of ministers, governors and other dignitaries.
They complained that such people would always resist to be screened adding that sometimes they are harassed by aides to such dignitaries.
They appealed to the FAAN management to introduce an enlightenment programme for other security agencies at the airport and explain AVSEC roles and duties at the airports.

Rethought version of Dvorak classic worth watching for Myrto Papatanasiu's riveting portrayal of the title character.
Andris Nelsons and his Bavarian Radio Orchestra forces deliver an exciting program with three Blu-ray premieres that precede an absolutely splendid reading of the Dvorak "From the New World" Symphony.
Thomas Dausgaard and the Danish National Symphony Orchestra submit a generous and glorious assembly of four major symphonic works. Beautiful to behold and hear, this is a wonderful introduction to an unfamiliar orchestra and conductor.
Marin Alsop and her Baltimore Symphony Orchestra continue their Dvorak cycle with excellent accounts of Symphonies 6 & 9 in this audio-only Blu-Ray disc.
Two of Dvorak's last symphonies, numbers 7 and 8, are performed by Marin Alsop and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. While both accounts provide pleasure, I was particularly struck by the effective musical direction of the seventh symphony and a bit let down by the finale of the eighth.


In this issue of STERNbusiness we mark the passing of Peter Drucker, the prolific and brilliant management theorist who spent the most productive portion of his remarkably long and influential career at New York University Graduate School of Business Administration, as Stern was then known.
Drucker had a transformative impact on the field of management, and on the broader business culture, because he was a creative and innovative thinker who did not confine his analysis to the standard theories of the day. While he spent much of his career based at universities – he taught at the School from 1950 to 1971 – he never fit conveniently into the academic mold.
Whether the topic was the impact of technology or the management of large corporations, he always offered a bold and fresh viewpoint – one in which close observation and experience informed theory. The same process worked in reverse. Through his writings, teaching, consulting, and lectures, Drucker brought theory and academic research outside the walls of the university to an extraordinarily broad audience.
Drucker encapsulated much of what we regard as our mission at NYU Stern – bringing together the best of academic research and real-world experience to provide the best business education to the brightest business students. It's a mission we're uniquely positioned to carry out by virtue of our location in New York. We see New York, in all its complexity and dynamism, as our classroom. In and around the city, the huge concentration of companies, managers, and executives serves as a vast source of knowledge – and as an audience eager for the future talent we provide.
As seen in this issue's alumni pages, Stern is actively connecting with a community that spans the globe. But we also have our sights set closer to home. In September, our Langone Part-time MBA Program, which already offers evening and weekend-only options at our Washington Square Campus, will return to Westchester County. This location will make it more convenient for working professionals in the area to advance their careers without stepping away from them. Students in Westchester will benefit from the same excellent curriculum and faculty and receive the same degree as all NYU Stern MBA students.
Making it easier for busy professionals to integrate a first-rate business education into their working lives is the sort of project that would surely have intrigued Peter Drucker. With this issue, we honor his legacy and contributions to the School and to the communities we serve, and we highlight the many exciting efforts and initiatives underway at Stern.


We are lucky to have Dr. Scott Olson working with us here at Issaquah Family Dental providing exceptional service and care to our patients needing tooth extractions; especially wisdom teeth.

My NORTIA residency at KU Leuven: China, Contestation, and Covid-19
The UACES Network | 30 September 2020
Spending some time in Brussels is always an invaluable opportunity for any EU researcher. I first arrived at KU Leuven on January 6th, 2020, a little over a month since the new von der Leyen Commission took office. At the time, COVID19 was only news in China and Western mainstream media was preoccupied with issues such as the coming into effect of Brexit on January 31st and the potential implications of the Soleimani incident between the US and Iran. Those were the days.
As a researcher in EU-China relations working on Chinese strategic narratives, their formation, projection, and reception in EU member states, and their effect on domestic spheres, I had come to KU Leuven to spend three months finalising my research design and developing ideas on how China's interests and influence may be understood and studied through the many lenses of contestation in the framework of the CONNECTIVITY project at the Centre for Global Governance Studies (KU Leuven). Upon arrival in Leuven, I was introduced to a stimulating academic environment provided by the interdisciplinary team of researchers at GGS, whose varied backgrounds and areas of interest were a perfect fit for my own and where I was welcomed to explore different approaches to research and scholarly production in general and more specifically to issues central to current debates in IR and EU studies, such as the nature of contestation and the conditions under which it takes place. My own research studying Chinese discursive power as a form of contestation of established EU narratives, GGS's work on contestation was a particularly fitting environment to be immersed in. It allowed me to develop and refine my conceptual framework and to get started with the empirical part of my work, by discussing different methodological approaches with my colleagues at GGS.
Coincidentally, as an example of the internal facet of contestation, the UK's departure of the EU on January 31st made pre-Covid19 Brussels was a very interesting place to be. On that particular day, I strolled through the Grand Place after stepping out of Central Station on my way back from Leuven to find it lit with the colours of the Union Jack. It was a parting homage, a reminder of a shared history for those whose feeling of belonging to the EU had been overpowered by the effectiveness of populism.
Being so close to Brussels, my time at GGS was intertwined with the hyperactivity of the EU's epicentre. During the first two months of my stay, I attended several workshops and seminars both in Leuven and in Brussels and I was able to expand my network of contacts on EU-China affairs, both in the academic sphere and the EU institutions bubble, which is proving to be instrumental in the advancing of my work. I was also gratefully welcomed to participate in the Connectivity seminars and the Leuven International and European Studies (LINES) sessions. By early March, however, Covid-19 had already driven half of Asia and the southern part of Europe to a halt, including my hometown of Barcelona and the rest of Spain. As Belgium seemed -at the time- spared in comparison, and I still had almost a month left on my stay, I remained in Brussels and continued to work from home. This would mean that I would be shortly locked out of my country and dependant on the increasing ticket prices of the very few flights or trains back to Spain. On the bright side, I was happy to navigate the online transition in the company of the GGS team and was allowed as per the Belgian government Covid measures to go on runs through the beautiful Cinquantenaire Park, which is more than my Spanish colleagues could do under strict lockdown measures. My NORTIA scholarship was strongly marked by the events that have shaken us all in different ways. I experienced first-hand the temporary undoing of the Schengen area, and witnessed how the far-reaching political, social, and economic implications of the corona crisis were perceived differently in several EU member states, including Belgium, the Netherlands, and Spain, the latter having an even greater stake in the subsequent EU budget and crisis response negotiations for obvious reasons.
Despite its unexpected ending circumstances, I am tremendously grateful to NORTIA and UACES for granting me the opportunity to step into another academic bubble, which is something I highly recommend any junior researcher to do for it will be an invaluable learning experience. I am also grateful to Dr. Kolja Raube for welcoming me to such a varied and vibrant community of researchers. Special thanks to PhD researchers Eva Claessen and Franziska Petri for their companionship and the many interesting conversations on and off research topics, to Siqi Zhao for the stimulating conversations about all things China, and to everyone else at GGS for making Leuven my home for three wonderful months.

The Lone Star College Board of Trustees reorganized its leadership following the election of two new members. District six trustee Myriam Saldívar was nominated for chair of the board and was elected unanimously.
The Lone Star College Board of Trustees reorganized its leadership following the election of two new members.
After the November election, the board said goodbye to former members Alton Smith and Ken Lloyd and welcomed new members Iesheia Ayers-Wilson and Jim Cain.
With the new members, the board had to reorganize and elect a new chair, vice chair, secretary, and assistant secretary. It is required by law that the board reorganize following each election.
In past years, nominations for each position were given by a nominating committee. This year, nominations came directly from the board members themselves.
District six trustee Myriam Saldívar was nominated by district one trustee Michael Stoma for chair of the board and was elected unanimously. No other nominations were made for this position.
"I would like to thank my fellow board members for the honor of serving as board chair," said Saldívar in a release from the college system. "I look forward to working with Dr. Head and my colleagues to ensure our students continue to have access to educational opportunities that keep our community strong and healthy."
Saldívar was elected to her seat in 2016, her term expires in 2022. Before the reorganization, she held the title of vice chair on the board while Smith held the position of chair.
Trustees Stoma and Mike Sullivan, who represents district eight, were both nominated for vice chair but Stoma took the position with five votes. Stoma was first elected to the board in 2018 and his term expires in 2024.
Ayers-Wilson was elected to the position of secretary, and Sullivan was elected to the position of assistant secretary. Sullivan was elected to the board the same year as Stoma, and his term will also be expiring in 2024. Before the reorganization, trustee Art Murillo, who represents district four, held the position of secretary, and trustee Linda Good, who represents district seven, held the position of assistant secretary.
"I am grateful to all the trustees for the work they do each and every day," said Stephen Head, LSC chancellor in a release from the college system. "Their dedication to student success is truly inspiring."
All of the trustees who won their seats in the November election were sworn in on Nov. 20. Ayers-Wilson and Cain officially joined the board, and Murillo returned to the board after he was declared the winner of his election when no other candidates filed for the race.
The board has no meeting scheduled in January and will not meet again until February.

2 New Films Available Through Artist Services; 4 Other Can't-Miss On-Demand Releases
Park Posey and Eric Mabius in Price Check.
Nate von Zumwalt
It may be a while before a clear victor emerges in the enduring battle between the advent of video-on-demand and the timeless tradition of moviegoing, but the former's convenience is only becoming more difficult to trump.
A pair of Sundance-supported films make their digital premieres today through the Sundance Institute Artist Services initiative, which provides Institute artists with exclusive opportunities for creative self-distribution, marketing, and financing solutions for their work.
First up is Andrew Berends' taut documentary Delta Boys, recipient of a 2008 Sundance Institute Documentary Film Grant. Berends explores an escalating conflict in the oil rich Niger Delta where impoverished local militants struggle to bank off the wealth of their own land and subsequently attempt to sabotage the operations of foreign corporations.
Watch the trailer below or click here to purchase the film in its entirety
Also making its digital premiere is Madeleine Olnek's Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same, which played in the Midnight section at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and makes charming use of a '50s sci-fi aesthetic in a tale of three lesbian space aliens on a quest for Earthling love. Click here to watch Codependent now.
Check out these other Sundance-supported films coming to a variety of on-demand platforms this month.
Price Check, Oct. 11
Susan (Parker Posey) is an overzealous new boss helming the pricing department of a supermarket chain. Pete (Eric Mabius), a former "cool guy," finds himself caught in a pleasant but prosaic existence since leaving the music industry and getting married. When he becomes the target of Susan's professional endeavors and personal desires, his entire world is flipped on its head. Director Michael Walker's incisive new film captures the peculiar nuances of office relationships and corporate politics, guided by Posey's and Mabius' brilliant on-screen chemistry.
The Invisible War, Oct. 23
Kirby Dick's 2012 Audience Award winner confronts one of the most disturbing and under-publicized injustices in America today: an epidemic of rape in the U.S. armed forces. An estimated 30% of servicewomen are sexually assaulted during their enlistment, with a majority of the cases never resulting in prosecution or conviction. Dick's unwavering documentary makes use of explicit accounts from the victims themselves as it bluntly exposes the facts behind this insidious cycle of crime and governmental negligence.
The Comedy, Oct. 24
A strident commentary on a generation of entitled white American 20-somethings, or simply a sardonic portrayal of the elitist and pioneering hipsters of Williamsburg, New York? Director Rick Alverson has stayed largely mum in response to inquiries about the ironically titled Brooklyn-set drama, but we strongly advise you to figure this one out for yourself.
Safety Not Guaranteed, Oct. 30
Deferring to Festival Director John Cooper's notes on the "based on real events" film: "Three magazine employees are sent to investigate a personal advertisement placed in the newspaper: guy seeking partner for time travel. They venture to the coast and set up a haphazard surveillance. Darius (Aubrey Plaza) is recruited as the shill; her dry wit and cynical nature are perfectly suited to trap this enigmatic oddball, Kenneth (Mark Duplass), and get a good story. But it is she who first sees past the paranoid loner façade to the compelling person inside. The drawback? This still doesn't rule out the possibility that he just might be crazy."

Computer 'Nudge' Spurs Doctors to Prescribe Statins to Heart Patients
Prescriptions of cholesterol-lowering statins for heart disease patients rose significantly when doctors were prompted to choose whether or not to order them, according to a new study.
It included 82 cardiologists and more than 11,000 patients. Doctors randomly received one of two "nudges," or notifications, in their patients' electronic health records.
One was a "passive choice" notification to which doctors would navigate. The other was an "active choice" notification to prescribe a certain dose of statins that doctors needed to accept or dismiss.
The nudges flagged patients with heart disease or those who were at risk for it. Each nudge also suggested the best dose of statins based on patients' information.
Some doctors didn't receive any nudge and acted as a control group in the six-month study.
Among doctors who received active nudges, there was a 4 percentage point increase in optimal statin prescribing in patients with heart disease, according to the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine study.
However, there was no significant difference in prescribing rates for those patients at risk of heart disease but did not yet have it.
"Active choice prompts are used commonly in electronic health records, but they often are not rigorously tested head-to-head against other approaches," said senior author Dr. Mitesh Patel, director of Penn Medicine's Nudge Unit.
"By systematically testing these interventions we can build upon the approaches that do work and turn off the ones that don't," he said in a university news release.
First author Dr. Srinath Adusumalli said active choice prompts led to small increases in prescribing statins for patients at highest risk -- those who already had plaque buildup in their arteries.
"These are the types of patients who stand to benefit the most from statin therapy with regard to reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events, like a heart attack, and mortality," said Adusumalli, an assistant professor of cardiovascular medicine.
The study findings were published Oct. 7 in the journal JAMA Cardiology.
The American Heart Association has more on cholesterol medications.

Estimating the immediate impact of the COVID-19 shock on parental attachment to the labor market and the double bind of mothers
I examine the impact of the COVID-19 shock on parents' labor supply during the initial stages of the pandemic. Using difference-in-difference estimation and monthly panel data from the Current Population Survey (CPS), I compare labor market attachment, non-work activity, hours worked, and earnings and wages of those in areas with early school closures and stay-in-place orders with those in areas with delayed or no pandemic closures. While there was no immediate impact on detachment or unemployment, mothers with jobs in early closure states were 68.8 percent more likely than mothers in late closure states to have a job but not be working as a result of early shutdowns. There was no effect on working fathers or working women without school age children. Mothers who continued working increased their work hours relative to comparable fathers; this effect, however, appears entirely driven by a reduction in fathers' hours worked. Overall, the pandemic appears to have induced a unique immediate juggling act for working parents of school age children. Mothers took a week of leave from formal work; fathers working fulltime, for example, reduced their hours worked by 0.53 hours over the week. While experiences were different for mothers and fathers, each are vulnerable to scarring and stunted opportunities for career growth and advancement due to the pandemic.

Villa de Paz Golf Course in Phoenix was the site of the first four tournaments. The committee decided to increase the value and quality of the golf tournament and moved the event to the Wigwam Resort. It was held there for 15 successful years. Like Air Force Base opened its own golf course in 1998 covering an old landfill on W. Northern Avenue and N. Reems Road just north of the base. Falcon Dunes Golf Course became the home of the Luke Shoot Out in 2000 and it has been at that location ever since.
Today, a portion of the proceeds from the Luke Shoot Out benefit "Operation Warm Heart" at Luke Air Force Base. This is a great way to say thank you to enlisted personnel who are devoted to serving.
The 36th Annual Luke Shoot Out Golf Tournament will be held Friday, April 7, 2017 at Falcon Dunes Golf Course, 15100 W. Northern Avenue with check in beginning at 6:30am and a shotgun start at 7:30am. Featured at the tournament is a putting contest with a guaranteed cash winner plus Hole in One and Closest to the Pin contests on all par threes. One of the Hole in One prizes is a new 2017 vehicle. There is also a Challenge Hole where you can double your wager if your ball stops inside a large circle on the green. Many raffle items will be available and mulligans through the purchase of raffle tickets at the tournament.
