"Anything Goes" for the play
Kate Schumacher
Students know it is time for another spring musical when all the drama kids are filled with excitement, when singing fills the hallways or classrooms, and when the clicking of tap shoes are heard during after school hours.
The spring play, "Anything Goes," has worked to produce an entertaining and talented show. The director, Marilee Mahler, didn't cut one person, which made for a bigger cast and more dedication from the performers. "We rehearse about three to four hours a day. There are about sixty performers, with two acts, and seven to eight scenes per act. This is one of the most joke-filled plays yet," said junior Jack Tift, who plays the captain.
The "Anything Goes" book was written by Guy Bolton about a love triangle and the struggles between higher and lower class families. "This play is basically the same as the Titanic, minus the sinking. Basically Billy [Ben Zeman] falls in love with a girl of a high class family," said Tift.
This play has high expectations, because it's the first time an underclassman was given the main role. "At first when I read that I was given the main role, I thought it was a joke, and then once it sunk in I started freaking out," said sophomore Ben Zeman, who plays the main character Billy.
Zeman fits his character perfectly, because of their similar characteristics. "Billy is crazy and awkward, he doesn't care what others think about him, and is driven by love. Playing Billy comes natural to me, because I can be really crazy myself at times," said Zeman.
Zeman has been practicing extremely hard in order to master his role. "I have been running lines a lot and also practicing dances," said Zeman.
Cast members are excited that a younger student was given such an important role in "Anything Goes." "It's cool a sophomore was given the main role. I found it surprising that such a young kid can get the lead role," said senior Claire Leiter, who plays one of the four angels.
There has been a great amount of preparation to make this play the best one it can be. "There is a lot of dancing and singing. To prepare, I've even started singing in the shower to make my voice stronger," said Tift.
Some directors or choreographers make looking forward to rehearsal easier than others. "It depends who's directing that day. Bridget, the choreographer, is really fun to rehearse with," said Claire Leiter.
Performers are becoming more anxious as the days pass. More excitement is built up each day as it gets closer to the performance night. "'Anything Goes' is probably the funniest play we've ever done. There's a lot of humor and jokes for the audience," said Tift.

Good, short book. A journalist/soccer coach spends a season observing the Dutch powerhouse team Ajax, and this book is a record of what he saw at their training sessions. Some great technical exercises, and good, brief explanations and diagrams throughout.

It is most important to be sure combustion equipment is maintained and properly adjusted. Vehicular use should be carefully managed adjacent to buildings and in vocational programs. Additional ventilation can be used as a temporary measure when high levels of CO are expected for short periods of time. Never use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, sheds, or similar areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these areas and can linger for hours, even after the generator has shut off.
Install a battery-operated CO detector in your home. Check and replace the battery each Spring and Fall.
Test your detector regularly. Plan what your family will do if the detector sounds. If the alarm ever sounds, leave your home and then call 911.

I do 99% of my archive work via the shell extensions, be it adding or subtracting. One of the most common ones I use is the Extract To ___ where it creates a directory with the name of the archive and unzips to it. I just find the fact that PA trys to shove in the full path really annoying and unnecessary. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see how this is useful…99% of paths are going to be too long to be read there and are just trunkated, and at that point they're just clutter. Even just using one's desktop makes it rather ugly. Furthermore I don't see a situation where this could be useful even if you could read it, I mean it's a shell extension so you're already looking right at the folder in explorer. I think it'd be much cleaner and simpler to simply give the new folder name and skip the full path ("Extract To folder_name").

Bob Prince says "there is massive differentiation in the system"
videoHedge funds
Bridgewater sees $41 trillion hole in income
Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund, has identified a US$27 trillion ($41 trillion) hole in global corporate income from the outbreak of the pandemic.
Co-chief investment officer Bob Prince said the hedge fund had built programs that run macroeconomic conditions through company income statements and balance sheets that identified the global shortfall in income as well as the winners and losers from the downturn. He was speaking at Investment Magazine's Fiduciary Investors Digital Symposium from his home in Connecticut.
"To then translate that into equities and to bonds is going to be very important," Prince told delegates. "That hole in income is going to be filled unevenly. Some companies and some countries will feel the impact much more; some governments will be able to deal with it better than others. There is a massive differentiation inside the system."
Prince warned of a duration mismatch between the time frame of when the pandemic may be brought under control and the "staying power" of company balance sheets and fiscal support from governments. According to the co-CIO, it is estimated that between 60 to 70 per cent of the population will need to have developed an immunity to COVID-19 either through a vaccine or by having caught it.
"That takes time," he said. "We are roughly looking at an 18 to a 24-month timeframe for that virus to play out. If you think about an 18 to 24-month timeframe for a collapse in income, how long can governments offset that and how can they do that effectively? That will be a key question."
He also cited countervailing forces in the financial system between falling cash flows – as a result of the collapse in income – and the abundance of liquidity coming from government measures to stave off a severe economic downturn. Fiscal policy, whilst replacing lost income, was not replacing the drop in spending.
Prince estimates that for every dollar that policymakers inject into the system, just 50 cents was being spent with the rest used for debt reduction. "It means you really need to see $2 of fiscal to get $1 to replace $1 of spending," he said.
As for monetary policy, Prince noted that of the US$6 trillion that the US Federal Reserve was printing as part of its latest round of quantitative easing measures, US$2 trillion supported the government's fiscal policies with the rest underpinning financial markets. He said economic recovery would likely come in two stages – an initial "pop" as social distancing measures are reduced, and then a "slow grind" upwards as the unemployment rate slowly normalised from levels not seen since the great depression.
And because of the increased indebtedness of countries going into the pandemic, Prince said that the growth rate would be not too dissimilar to the period between 2000 and 2008 which saw a gradual decline in the US jobless rate at around half a per cent a year. By way of comparison, the US jobless rate soared to 14.7 per cent last month and during the peak of the global financial crisis, was between 8 to 10 per cent.
"So much depends on what happens with the virus and what happens with medicine," he told delegates. "It will be literally the trade-offs that society makes between mortality and the economy. Massive amounts of uncertainty mean you really can't make any predictions with any confidence."
As for investing in the stock market, Prince said there would be a "massive differentiation between industries and companies." He added that a 10 per cent unemployment rate could cause a decline in company earnings anywhere between 90 to 10 per cent.
"Differentiation is a key thing to focus on," he said. "This adverse level of economic activity … will squeeze some things up, because they benefit from liquidity, and it will squeeze some things down because they will be hurt by the cash flow. The biggest opportunities will be in those differentiations."
The hedge fund manager also reiterated his positive stance on the Asia bloc – a group of eight countries that actively trade with one another and China – and roughly contribute to global growth about two and half times that of the US and Europe. He noted that the pandemic had only reinforced the divide that already existed between the two trading blocs, which created opportunities to further diversify portfolios.
Prince also said that unlike the US or Europe, Asia still had more levers at its disposal to manage its economy with interest rates not yet at zero and with more room to do QE. He added that an independent monetary credit system was driving Asia's economic engine from China.
Elsewhere, the hedge fund manager said his team was focusing on companies with long duration cash flows. He named Microsoft as one example of a firm with little debt, fat profit margins and a strong balance sheet that had the "ability to absorb the collapse of income for a period of time."
"If you have a long stream of cash flow you can more reliably look to what is the valuation of this asset with a five, 10, 20-year time frame because they can last that long and leapfrog over this environment," he said.

Kemper Schools touts improved ratings
Posted Thursday, January 5, 2023 12:00 am
From Combined Reports
Kemper County Superintendent of Education Hilute Hudson contends that the recent school ratings released by the Mississippi Department of Education indicates that the Kemper County School District is indeed "on the rise."
The Kemper County School District has moved from an F rating (pre-pandemic) to a C rating with a growth of 117 points, just seven shy of a B rating.
The high school had a C rating, but was two points from a B, while the Lower Elementary School and Middle School were both Cs. The Upper Elementary raised its score by 90 points, but was still rated as a D.
"Kemper Rising" was developed with Kemper County's educational community and stakeholders' input from board of trustees, faculty, staff, alumni, partners, families and friends of Kemper County School District (KCSD) over a two-year period. In 2020, KCSD heavily invested in "The Wildcat Way" campaign, which was conceived and designed by current Superintendent Hilute Hudson to galvanize support for placing students first in every decision for the district.
The Lauderdale County and Neshoba County School Districts were rated as A's, while the Louisville School District was a C and Noxubee County a D.
In Noxubee County the high School was a C, while the Elementary School and Middle Schools were both D's. In Louisville, the high school, middle school and Fair Elementary were all D's, while Louisville Elementary was a C, while Noxapater Attendance Center was a C and Nanih Waiya Attendance Center was an A.
"When you hear about Kemper Rising, you cannot help but to think about a district that was n the verge of a state takeover due to a F status on the MDE accountability model that now is rated as a C,' Hudson said. "A district that was once perceived as lacking success in student achievement and advancement, financial accountability, and employment retention and growth is now the district that is rising and strengthen in all areas."
Hudson pointed out several areas the district has shown success:
— Five students graduated in 2022 with both a high school diplomas and an Associates Degree; — The attendance rate at KCHS is now 93.1 percent, a marked improved over the pre-pandemic rate of 84.1 percent.; — During the 2021 -2022 school year, 64 students took at least one Dual Credit/Dual Enrollment Course and 44 students received a National Industry Certification — Restructured East Kemper and West Kemper Elementary to create an Upper and Lower Elementary —Successfully passed $a $12M School Election Bond to aid in the construction of a new elementary school to be located in DeKalb; — KCSD moved from probation status to fully accredited on all MDE accountability standards — Increased certifications to 14 National Board Certified Teachers — More than half, 73 out of 140, of the KCSD employees have an advanced degree.
— Improved facility structure and middle and high school to enhance learning opportunities and create safe school environment "Our students and the community are champions in more ways that one," sad Hudson, who took over as Superintendent of Education in January of 2020. "Kemper rising reminds me of that one stanza in Maya Angelou's poem 'Still I rise' that says ' Just like moons and like suns, with the certainty of tides, just like the hopes springing high, still I'll rise."

On each bed we sat, staring and basking in the stagnation between us, neither one of us courageous enough to break the silence, a curse looking to be broken in order to restart time. Our eyes swirled, a captivating effect around each pupil, millions of cells around a spiral galaxy. The air conditioner, augmenting the molecular make-up of air particles had turned off, and I rose to my feet and walked to the mini-fridge near the doorway, careful not to trip over suitcases or step on the piles of clothes strewn about the floor. Inside was a Styrofoam box filled with Applebee's leftovers. Next to it was an ice-cold can of Rockstar, a possession that was logically mine. I snatched it from the fridge and climbed back over to the clothes to my original spot opposite of Bill. A loud crack rang through the room followed by an aroma of citrus, a pungent sting of soda released in through the crackle of fizz. Bill took a breath, neither long nor short, neither heavy nor light, but a most notable breath regardless.
"I don't have anything against farm girls," he said after a short pause. There was no sign of emotion in his face or voice. Our eyes remained fixed, and I pressed the can of Rockstar to my lips, allowing the liquid mixture of carbonated water, condensed sucrose, and energy producing chemicals to pour down my throat, each swallow amplified through the cool and dense air, along with every other proceeding sound effect. I cautiously set the Rockstar on the nightstand next to Bill's iPad, where a small shockwave reverberated through the room after contact. I waited another beat.
"The stairs. We blew it. Missed a golden opportunity," I replied, affording him the same emotion he showed me a minute before. Bill wetted his lips, pressed them together, and then hesitated.
"Forget it. It's the Fourth of July."
We studied each other for another minute. In a synchronous manner, we turned our heads to the corner of Bill's bed. Gretch laid, sprawled out across it, one side of her face buried deep within the pillow with one closed eyelid and a half-open mouth exposed. She was to remain in a heavily sedated state for at least another hour or two, unless excessive intervention was to be involved. We both turned our heads back to face one another, our straight faces sustained, as though we were competing in a laughing contest of which no jokes were being told.
"Get dressed. We're going to the mall."
It was a surprisingly efficient outing at the mall, as a sense of purpose propelled our feet back and forth across the tile, dead set on a mission to look good… damn good. We breezed through the crappy jewelry and cell phone case stands at each intersection, ignoring the calls from salesmen hoping to con us in for a quick buck—it wouldn't work, not with this amount of focus. Bill stopped in his tracks and peered to his right. A bright red sign burned bright in his line of vision, and out of the corner of my eye, plastered what seemed to be four letters in close proximity—HELL. I turned, only discover it was much worse—H&M.
"Don't do it—Bill!"
"Gretch said I could probably exchange some of the clothes if I found something I liked," he said as he walked slowly towards the entrance, his eyes fixated as if he was under a hypnotic trance, inching closer into the store.
"Let's go Bill, you have to look nice for the wedding today," said Gretch, nudging him closer and closer into the departmental abyss.
"Screw this, I'm going to Macy's."
10 minutes later, I came out of Macy's with a flat green shirt to match my yellow tie, truly appropriate colors for the present geography, foregoing another living nightmare with Bill and Gretch, and all for less than 10 bucks! There was still time to kill however, as I knew there would be, and there was no way I was spending it in that God-forsaken store! Across the way was an Old Navy, a great place to score some 4th of July apparel. Although it wasn't the premium time to buy (the day after the 4th, you can walk out with an awesome American Flag T-shirt for under 4 bucks), it was still worth a glance.
"Hey, what's this," I asked myself, my attention quickly diverting towards a rack of shirts with a color scheme consisting of red and blue. "Wisconsin Badgers? Milwaukee Brewers? I didn't even know Old Navy made sports shirts… Oh man, they even have a couple green shirts in here too. What's this say, Green Ba—GREEN BAY PACKERS?!?!" I dug through the pile in search of a shirt in my size and ripped it out of the stack—size large, thin cotton, and solid green with the words "Green Bay Packers" spread across in yellow. It was perfect. Perhaps it was too perfect…
I felt a presence behind me, breathing down my neck, a Golem like figure lurking behind the scenes. I moved my head nice and slow as not to make any sudden moves that would startle the mysterious figure behind me. What could they want? My wallet? My life? Or worse… my shirt… Suddenly, a fight or flight instinct rose within me; make my move or become another victim of this sadistic stalker closing in. I spun backwards to confront the culprit, only to see a streak of blond hair fly behind a clothes rack. A loud bang and crash sounded through the store followed by a number of gasps. I darted my head, seeing a flash of a crouched body, zipping through the store with its head down, using its shoulders to hide its face from detection. It was pitiful attempt, for I could recognize that sneak from miles away.
"Gretch! What are you doing? I know that's you! Get out of here, and quit creeping on my style! You hear me? GRETCH!"
I walked out of Old Navy, a bit disturbed, a bit violated, but at least with a new shirt. Across the way was the big bright sign—H&M, a symbol of despair, a time trap, a psychological torture chamber I unwillingly braced myself for. What a fool Bill was for walking in there, and what a fool I was for not stopping him! If it wasn't for Gretch… Gretch! The source of all my misery! We'll never make it to the wedding in time, the reason for this whole trip! We're doomed! We've been doom the moment we left Idaho, and it's all her fault. It's been her goal this entire trip! Gretch… Gretch! I curse that name! GRETCH—
My eyes settled on the entrance, my thoughts frozen at its sight. In front stood a man holding up a bag in each arm with a growing smirk on his face. I slowly approached him, his appearance coming into full focus while a girl came up from behind and stood beside him sharing the same smirk. "I have my outfit," said Bill, lifting the bags shoulder length as if he were shrugging. I couldn't believe it. I looked over at Gretch, her smirk ever growing, waiting for the respect she demanded, and quite possibly deserved.
"Gretch… son of a B. You pulled it off."
"And we still have time to change," said Bill, checking the time on his phone.
I placed my designer sunglasses over my eyes, fitting between my ears and the America Flag Bandana over my head. "Well then, let's do this."
Bill and I sat at opposite sides of each other at the end of the paired beds in our room as to give each other a quick inspection before show time. Our hair was gelled and parted to perfection, our ties straight and our suits fitted. We looked good… damn good, noted by a single nod of approval provided by both of us. The bathroom door rattled. Bill and I turned in observance, and out walked Gretch in her dress for the wedding. I gotta hand it to her… the girl cleans up pretty nicely.
"What?" she blurted, unfamiliar with the inspection routine. "You guys ready or what?"
We both shot her a single nod of approval. "Let's get this show on the road boys and girls," I answered, putting a pair of sunglasses over my head for the second time that day.
Many impressive looks were sent our direction during our strut through the lobby of the La Quinta Inn, acting as if we were a couple of secret service agents whose mission was unknown, but understood to be important nonetheless. We couldn't help but build a harmonious sense of confidence among us as we entered my Black Mercedes-Benz E350, a confidence that would nullify the chilling effects felt during our first dark and dreary drive to the mansion. We knew where this path would lead and what we were about to be a part of. The turning of a V6 engine came to a roar and Third Eye Blind's "The Red Summer Sun" blasted through the car speakers. Engulfed by the music and the blanket of light spread across the Wisconsin plains, we sped out of the La Quinta Inn parking lot and towards our destination, the wedding of the summer. The climax of our trip was just around the corner. Beth… Blake… We're comin' for ya!

Teachers at a Sunderland school have joined forces with police in a bid to alleviate parking problems on surrounding streets.
Police and employees at Hill View Junior Academy have received a series of complaints from local residents about parking disorder as parents drop off and pick up their children at the beginning and end of the school day.
Cars have been parked dangerously on the Stannington Grove entrance to the school, often blocking the road and obstructing traffic, while some residents have also seen vehicles parked illegally over their driveway.
That has sometimes sparked confrontation between parents and residents, with frustrations threatening to boil over.
To ensure the tensions do not escalate further, police and teachers have now come forward to plead for cooperation as the school heads into the final term of the academic year.
PC Adam Carlton, of Northumbria Police, said: "Police are aware of a series of complaints from local residents about parking issues around Hill View Junior Academy when parents are picking up and dropping off their children.
"We would like to remind drivers that it is a criminal offence to park irresponsibly and wilfully obstruct property or roads.
Police will continue to patrol the area at peak times to ensure the message has been heard, while the school's head teacher, Tricia Bevan, has echoed officers' stance.
"This is an ongoing problem with children now being put at risk by the inconsiderate parking of parents," she said.
"We also need to be mindful of our local residents who have, at times, taken verbal abuse from parents.
Anyone who witnesses irresponsible parking or any subsequent disorder in the area is asked to contact police on 101.


Lipids are fundamental to all life forms, a key component of cell walls, and essential to proper respiratory function. They are amphiphilic molecules and readily form bilayers. Dendrimers are designer molecules that can be tailored to provide a variety of endgroup moieties, sizes, and charges. The interaction of liposomes and dendrimers can provide information on how medicine interacts with cells and an array of unique structures can be imagined from their assembly into superstructures. Polypropylenimine tetraamine (DAB-Am) and 1-directional arborol dendrimers have been studied in different molar concentrations with 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) bilayers. One-directional arborols are amphiphilic dendrimers with a hydrophilic head group composed of 9 hydroxyl groups and a short alkyl chain for the hydrophobic tail while DAB-Am is a uniform, hydrophilic dendrimer.
Designing, building, and repairing equipment added instrumentation to Louisiana State University's research infrastructure and provided capabilities to perform experiments without traveling to distant laboratories. Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) was installed at the Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices (CAMD) in 2002 and has begun to produce useful information about the size and structure of molecules. Its versatility and availability makes it a powerful tool for researchers and the user base is growing. The Balzers BAF 400 Freeze Etching equipment, or FF, was reintroduced after about 10 years of inactivity and, if properly maintained, will provide scientists the ability to explore samples in situ for years to come.
These techniques have been used to study dendrimers' interactions with lipid bilayers. The liposome decreases in size upon the addition of 1 × 10-6 moles per liter of dendrimer or less. As the dendrimer concentration increases, the lipid bilayer increases until it is no longer visible in SAXS spectra. FF-TEM shows the formation of large aggregates at high dendrimer concentration, 5 × 10-6 moles per liter.

Georgina Miranda is probably one of the most inspirational people that I have ever had the privilege to meet. Beyond the extensive list of super human achievements that Georgina has completed in her own personal life, she is a leading light as an entrepreneur, a business leader, an adviser, a consultant and an inspiration to all those who are fortunate enough to engage with Georgina at whatever level. She is a true leader, an inspiration, an ambassador and one that is focused on, and making a real difference in the world today. Georgina has a very rare gift and set of skills and experience that I am sure will take her to even more atmospheric heights into the future.
adventure, entrepreneurship, social And environmental impact, travel, spirituality, wellness, and living and working from your full potential.
Creating Happiness Through Habit. A Little Step Towards Mental Wellness.
As an ambassador for Project Happiness, I am thrilled to bring their 21 Day Happiness Habit Challenge to life, not only to help share how to create happiness through habit, but also to discuss important topics around our overall wellbeing and mental wellness. I hope you will join me.
In June 2018 I set off with Explorer Tim Jarvis and team to climb and document the sublimating glacier on Africa's Rooftop, Mt. Kilimanjaro.
"Just like a mountain is really big and daunting, I think climate change can seem daunting and a big problem to solve. The reality is if all of us take little steps and make little changes in our lives, we will all make a collective difference." - Georgina Miranda.
The question is, what else are we prepared to lose? There is no Planet B.
Thank you Sarah Williams of Tough Girl Podcast for the feature!
Hear my story, the challenges and the victories over the past decade and why I do what I do and why I am a champion for women around the world.
Being an activist can start with the choices we make day to day. It's been over 11 years as a gender-based violence activist and my adventures and the state of our planet have made me an environmental activist. Yet really, we should all be activists helping heal and protect people and planet. We are not individuals living in a big world, we are connected beings to every single person and particle part of this earth. Our impact is not ours alone, never has that been more clear than now.
The journey inward to discovering our full potential can be the most daring and rewarding and our best gift to those around us.
I had the pleasure of being invited to speak at Booking.com this week here in Amsterdam to discuss this very thing. When thinking of the value we bring to our teams, the focus needs to start within. When we are living and operating from our full potential- mind, body, and spirit- it not only benefits ourselves, but everyone around us.
I had the honor of being on the On She Goes Podcast in November. On She Goes is a digital travel platform that helps women of color travel more confidently, more adventurously, and more often.
We had a dynamic conversation on how a Latina girl from LA somehow found herself climbing the world's highest peaks, starting from zero when not being able to run a mile, using my voice for activism, and the diversity that is still needed in the adventure space.
My breath. Something that most of my life I took for granted in a sense. Yes, grateful each day to breathe and be alive, but never really realizing the power it has had in my life or the magic it could deliver. Breath is life and freedom and love and salvation all in one. Breath is an incredible instrument for healing and growth if we give time to cultivate the concentrated practice of it.
Super grateful to Gale Straub of She Explores for featuring me on her podcast!
It's taken me a long time to be able to write this. As crazy time flies, it's been close to a year since I left San Francisco, what had been my home on and off for 7 years. Leaving there officially October 17, 2017 in retrospect was the best thing I ever did. (If you don't want to read the background skip down to "ripping off the bandaid").
You might have read the title to this and thought....WTF? But for real, it is something that maybe since I left San Francisco is a conscious effort to stay connected to. I felt like I had lost it in a lot of ways.
I chose challenges that were vast and hard in lots of parts of my life that kept bringing out my masculine energy in order to succeed, or so I thought that's what I needed. In the end so many times I felt I moved away from my true essence, which is love and more on the feminine energy side.
Formally… I am a social entrepreneur, adventurer, public speaker, consultant, coach, and activist combining over a decade of Corporate, Start-up, and Adventure experience. I'm a social innovator working to accelerate gender equality globally and exploring new ways to unleash full human potential in life, business, and beyond from a holistic mind, body, spirit approach to benefit the collective good. I am the CEO of She Ventures and in the process of completing adventure mega challenge of the Explorer Grand Slam- something less than 15 women globally have done in order to raise awareness and funds for gender-based violence and climate change. I've led and advised cross-functional teams and clients in Fortune 500 companies globally, with a focus on transforming performance and developing leaders and company culture.
The real deal… I am a LA girl born and raised, but a global citizen. My heart is in nature and where I feel like my true essence, and yet I spend a lot of my time in cities for my work and mission. I am the first in my immediate family to graduate from college (I put myself through school) and before I started all of my adventures I could barely run a mile, never having been considered "athletic". I've never let my starting point determine my end point. Hence, most of my big challenges in life have started from ground zero and taken me to places like the summit of Mt. Everest.
I use my voice and adventures to advocate for women's rights and equality, climate change, and mental wellness.
I dedicate my work as an entrepreneur, adventurer, public speaker, consultant, coach, and activist to accelerating gender equality, helping people discover and reach their full potential in life, work, and beyond, and working towards solutions that are for the collective good of people and planet.
This journey of life continues to teach me the greatest adventure we take is the one inward and that sometimes the biggest mountains we climb are those in our mind.
I'm a mountaineer, skier, traveler, yogi, meditator, reiki practitioner, and overall external and internal adventurer of the soul.
I look forward to connecting with you. Say hello or hola or learn how you can work with me!

Q: form(method='get') works for node.js, but status: pending in dev-tools I am making a webpage that uses forms to submit user votes to a mongo database using node. While the code below sucessfully modifies the db, it causes a pending status operation in chrome dev-tools. This prevents all js from running, and after a few minutes the browser redirects to (the non-existant) /v/foo. This problem also occurs when using 'post' rather than 'get' as the method.
index.jade:
form(method= 'get', action= '/v/foo')
  button.vote(type= 'submit')

app.js: app.get('/v/:postID', home.vote);
home.js:
exports.vote = function(req, res){
  // gets postID from the URL
  postID = req.params.postID;
  // gets logged-in user
  user = req.session.username;
  // sends postID, retrieves a post with ID postID
  postdb.findPost(postID, function(post){
  // readPost(postID, function(post){
    // increments the 'votes' property of the comment by 1
    titles.update({postID: postID}, {$inc: {ups: 1}}, function(err){
      if (err) throw err;
    });

    // code that calculates current post level and progress goes here (works fine)

    // updates level and level progress
    titles.update({postID: postID}, {$set: {level: level, lvlProg: lvlProg}}, function(err){
      if (err) throw err;
    });

    accounts.update({username: user}, {$push: {votedPosts: postID}}, function(err){
      if (err) throw err;
      console.log('recorded')
    });

  });

A: Your code doesn't send a response, so the browser gets confused. ;)
Try res.send(200); if everything succeeds.
The HTTP form still expects its request to be closed cleanly and node will happily hold onto that connection indefinitely, if you don't end it with res.send().

One of the wisest decisions you can possibly make is to have a water feature added to your landscape setting. Amenities such as pools, ponds, waterfalls, fountains, and the like are guaranteed to make your outdoors more inviting and appealing. Backyard water features will also make your property more marketable if you eventually put it up for sale. However, you can only get these wonderful benefits if you get the services of professionals like us at Eastman Hardscape Construction.
We specialize in creating personalized and truly magnificent waterscapes for residential and commercial clients. We have installed many such amenities for clients across Tennessee. As a family-owned and-operated company, you can trust in us to render a personal touch to your dream water features.
There are several garden water features that we can recommend to make your landscape a more appealing place to spend time in. We suggest waterfalls, fountains, ponds, pools, bird baths, or artificial stream for your garden. We have created many of these awesome water amenities for owners of private properties and businesses. This makes us pretty capable of designing and building such outdoor features according to your specifications.
The great thing about us is that we can work on your set budget. Even if you have a limited budget for your waterscaping project, we can still work on it and create the specific water feature that you desire.
Our company has been building extraordinary outdoor water features for clients across Tennessee with outstanding results. Unlike other companies that do a trial-and-error approach to installing such amenities, we follow a very meticulous set of methods that eliminates any chance of a bad job. We first design the client's desired water feature based on their specifications. Among the factors we consider are the client's budget, the existing landscape theme, the preferred location of the amenities, and the personality of the client. Once we factor in these things, we then come up with a design plan that we present to the client for approval.
Consequently, we ensure that our crews only use premium materials during the installation to guarantee the best outcome. For example, we only use top quality liners, pumps, aquatic plants, natural stones, and boulders when building ponds and other similar amenities. We have reliable partner suppliers from where we source the materials that we need for our projects. So whether you demand a Zen-inspired water feature or a Mediterranean-like garden water feature, you can be sure that we can build it the way you wanted.
Since we began our landscaping business in 1978, we have served numerous residents of Tennessee, particularly those in Nashville and surrounding locations. Our clients from these areas have already tried and tested our capabilities and skills in designing and building highly personalized water features. Since we are experts in this field, we can offer our services at affordable rates. This allows us to cater to as many clients as possible and to establish our services as budget-friendly.

The sale of passenger vehicles grew by 4.37 percent in April-December 2018 over the same period last year.
The passenger vehicle segment has had its share of hits and misses in the calendar year 2018. While, sales started on a healthy note at the start of 2018, the auto industry faced several hurdles throughout the year. The rising fuel prices in the second half also led to a drop in volumes and the festive season too didn't bring in any cheers. The industry produced a total 23,861,485 vehicles including passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, three-wheelers, two-wheelers and quadricycle in April-December 2018 as against 21,432,030 in April-December 2017, registering a growth of 11.34 per cent over the same period last year.
The sale of passenger vehicles grew by 4.37 percent in April-December 2018 over the same period last year. Within the passenger vehicles segment, the sales of passenger cars, utility vehicle & vans grew by 4.34 percent, 2.63 percent and 12.89 percent respectively in April-December 2018 over the same period last year.
In the FY18-19 budget, the government increased the tax on CKD components to 15 per cent which led to an increase in the cost of some of the models which global players such as Honda and Skoda, among others sell. Furthermore, the industry went through several headwinds such as increase in fuel prices, poor performance by NBFCs, increase in interest rates and to top it all, customers had to pay a one-time insurance premium. Vishnu Mathur, Director General, SIAM said, "We were expecting better growth this year but we didn't expect all of these to happen. Q3 was significantly impacted due to rise in fuel prices and one time insurance payment," said Vishnu Mathur, Director General, SIAM.
In December 2018, the passenger vehicle segment recorded a negative growth of 0.43 per cent at 238, 692 units as compared to 239,723 units in the same month last year. The growth for the CY2018 (January-December) stood at 5.08 per cent at 33,94,756 units, around 2 per cent lower than what the industry body was expecting.
SIAM expects Q4 to make up for the loss to an extent, as people generally postpone their purchase decision to next year just to get the new year model in a bid to avoid depreciation. Moreover, the industry body is also expecting sales from pre-buying ahead of the implementation of the BSVI emission norms as carmakers are likely to roll out offers to clear inventories.

To kick off 2017, we take a look at some of the up-and-coming male and female stars who will hope to represent NSW this year and in the future. Today we look at a workhorse in the NSW and Roosters' under-20s sides: Nat Butcher.
With a breakout Holden Cup season and an outstanding performance for the NSW Under-20 side, Nat Butcher is one to keep an eye on for future seasons.
Butcher, whose father Blake played 23 first grade games for the Rabbitohs from 1989-93, was also brought through the South Sydney system. Playing junior representative football for the club, he was named their Harold Matthews Player of the Year in 2013 and was seen as one of their brightest prospects. A controversial move to arch rivals the Roosters in 2015, however, has seen him progress to one of the country's standout rookies.
The 19-year-old was one of the best in the NYC this season, averaging a huge 188.5 metres and 43 tackles a game as he took the tricolours to a maiden Holden Cup title. He was rewarded with NSW selection for the Origin III curtain-raiser, where the lock made 141 metres and 35 tackles alongside a line-break assist and three offloads. As the NRL Roosters were destined to miss out on finals football this year, Butcher was handed his first grade debut in the final game of the year, where the side would lose 24-14 to the Broncos.
With both a Grand Final ring and the 2016 RLPA NYC Player of the Year to his name, Butcher has already achieved as much as any 19-year-old could hope for. With those achievements, of course, come greater expectation and it will be interesting to see how Butcher goes about securing more NRL appearances next season.

Jointfresh has to be taken for long-term as it is a nutritional supplement for overall well being of Joints.
11. What are the doses of 4Steps capsules and Jointfresh?
4steps plus capsules has to be taken 1 capsule, 3 times a day after meals and Jointfresh, 15gms sachets have to be mixed with lukewarm water, to be taken once a day, empty stomach.
12. What is the role of modern medicine, Nutritional Suppliments and Ancient medicine in OA.
As you have seen above that modern medicine is unable to cure OA, in fact, it helps OA progression and injectable are also a temporary relief.
The fact you have to understand that journey of cartilaginous degeneration in a joint from fit to extensive cartilaginous deterioration and deformity and bony spar formation is of about 15 to 20 years where modern medicine due to its side effect and limitation cannot serve for more than 2-3 year in the entire period but no doctor of modern medicine will accept this fact upfront.
So the truth is Drs of modern medicine is helpless and looks like they just wait and watch when the patient gets deformity to an extent where they can suggest replacement of joint, but taking support of old Ancient or Herbal medicine is like a prestige issue and limitation for them but under this reality patient themselves move on to take support of alternative medicine which is truly advisable.
Ancient and alternative medicine not only gives relief in pain and inflammation but also checks or slow down the progression of the disease and make patient life comfortable, without any side effect.
Along with Ayurvedic and alternative medicine, Nutritional Supplements also plays an important role to give relief and it is observed all Doctors of modern and Ayurvedic medicine have taken the support of such Supplements to give relief to patient from agony of OA.

FA Cup – Arsenal Gunning For Spurs in Clash Of The 3rd Round
Bet on Arsenal v Tottenham live and inplay at 888sport
Arsenal v Tottenham
Saturday 4th January. 5.15pm ITV1
The third round of the FA Cup isn't something that is synonymous with excitement where supporters of Premier League clubs are concerned nowadays. However, football's oldest domestic cup competition will generate plenty of excitement on Saturday when two of English football's oldest rivals lock horns.
Arsenal host Tottenham at the Emirates in what is undoubtedly the plum tie. The bitter north London rivals haven't met in the FA Cup since 2001 when the Gunners prevailed 2-1 in a semi-final clash at Old Trafford. And while it's a place in the round four rather than the final at stake this time, there is bound to be fireworks nevertheless.
Put simply, neither of these heavyweights will want to suffer a third-round K.O.
Selection headaches
Both Arsene Wenger and Tim Sherwood have selection headaches following the congested festive fixture list. In addition to long-term absentees Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Abou Diaby, the Gunners will also be without Aaron Ramsey, Kieran Gibbs, Mesut Ozil, Nicklas Bendtner and Olivier Giroud.
The visitors are in a similar situation, with Andros Townsend, Jan Vertonghen, Jermaine Defoe, Paulinho, Sandros and Younes Kaboul all expected to miss out. In addition, the resurgent Emmanuel Adebayor is also a major doubt after being carried off on a stretcher during Spurs' victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford on New Year's Day.
Still, there are plenty of reasons to think that neither manager will want to field a drastically weakened team, with Wenger desperate to end Arsenal's nine-year trophy drought and Sherwood keen to build on the momentum of the Lilywhites victories against Southampton and United in their last two league matches.
Podolski and Soldado to lead the lines?
Pick up £88 in free bets at 888sport and bet on the FA Cup live
In the absence of Bendtner and Giroud, Lukas Podolski looks poised to lead the line for the Gunners, though fellow German Serge Gnabry is also likely to be in the mix. Theo Walcott, who has scored five goals in as many matches since returning from injury, is expected to start, along with Jack Wilshere, Mathieu Flamini, Santi Carzola and Tomas Rosicky.
Adebayor will no doubt be desperate to line-up against his old club, but if he is not deemed fit enough to take part one suspects that Roberto Soldado and Nacer Chadli will spearhead the Spurs attack. The visitors have plenty of midfield options, with the likes of Christian Eriksen, Etienne Capoue and Moussa Dembele all in contention for a place in the starting XI.
Arsenal v Spurs Betting
Predictably, Arsenal are favourites for this tie, with the 20/21 with Bet Victor the best price available about a home win at the time of writing, while Tottenham can be backed at a standout 31/10 with 888sport.
There is much in the Gunners' favour. They beat Spurs 1-0 at the Emirates earlier in the season, they are high on confidence, sitting atop of the Premier League, and recent results have been solid. Furthermore, they have been strong defensively, keeping clean sheets in three of their last four matches – they're 2/1 with Sky Bet to keep another clean sheet this weekend.
However, despite Tim Sherwood's shaky start as interim manager following Andre Villas-Boas' departure, things are starting to look up for the Lilywhites. They remain vulnerable at the back, but there was a real fluidity about Spurs against United on Wednesday, and the mood within the camp will be very upbeat following their victory at Old Trafford.
Tottenham invariably have a real go at Arsenal from the moment the first whistle is blown when they visit the Emirates, playing at a high tempo and not affording the Gunners the opportunity to settle into a rhythm. They are likely to do just that again on Saturday and, with that in mind, the 31/20 offered by Ladbrokes about Spurs in the team to score first betting is worth considering.

ISPs and content owners square up in Oz iiNet battle
ZDNet carries a very readable review of some pithy comments made by Music Rights Australia's General Manager Vanessa Hutley, who was speaking at the Australian Copyright Council's Copyright Law and Practice Symposium in Sydney, and some equally forthright comments back from Australian ISP iiNet's chief regulatory officer, Steve Dalby
Australia, along with a recent appellate decision in Holland, has bucked the growing trend for courts to issue blocking injunctions forcing ISPs to block access to websites such as The Pirate Bay. Courts in the UK, Belgium and France have all granted blocking orders and in UPC Telekabel Wien GmbH v Constantin Film Verleih GmbH und Wega Filmproduktionsgesellschaft GmbH the Advocate General's opinion was that Member States are to ensure that copyright holders or holders of related rights are able to apply for an injunction against intermediaries (including ISPs) whose services are used by a third party to infringe their rights that a specific blocking measure imposed on a provider relating to a specific website is not, in principle, disproportionate. But back in April 2012, in the iiNet case, Australia's High Court, the nation's highest, gave a clear ruling that internet service providers are not liable for authorising copyright infringement by making their services available to people who do infringe copyright and case and the Court observed that iiNet had no direct technical power to prevent its customers from using the BitTorrent system to infringe copyright in the appellants' films. In Holland the Dutch High Court overturned a lower court order forcing two internet service providers in the country - XS4ALL and Ziggo - to block their users from accessing The Pirate Bay. Calling the blocks "ineffectual", the court also stated that the blockades "constitute an infringement of [people's] freedom to act at their discretion". That case is now going to the Dutch Supreme Court. But in Australia - the iiNet decision stands.
Hutley's view is that the Australian government should undo what the High Court did. She said that although there has been an explosion in the availability of legitimate digital music services in Australia, such as Spotify and iTunes Radio, they are unable to compete on a level playing field with the likes of the Pirate Bay. ZDNet reports that she said that Music Rights Australia, which represents artists and music labels through the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), supports Attorney-General George Brandis' call for a review of safe harbour for ISPs. Hutley also said she supports blocking websites such as The Pirate Bay through a court order, and rejected criticism that it would lead to internet censorship - with some great quotes!
"The right to go to court and argue a case is not going to kill the internet. Here's a news flash: There were four orders today made in the UK against four major sites and last time I looked, friends of mine in the UK were sending me email," she said.
"Those orders are presently being made around the world, and the internet is not broken. Freedom of speech has not stopped. I think there needs to be a little more calm in this discussion."
"The Copyright Act needs to be amended to force ISPs to 'act reasonably' to prevent their users from infringing on copyright" she said. However, Hutley said she doesn't know what reasonable measures could be used against an ISP's customer, but did say:
"Just to be clear: We're not breaking the internet; it's not about filtering; it's not about censoring creative expression. It doesn't prevent free speech, we're not asking for anyone to be disconnected, we just sort of want them to be slightly educated about what it is they're doing and maybe ask them to go somewhere else to get the music they're using," she said.
"It won't result in a lot of litigation. It isn't about that; it's about giving the space to the genuine, fully-licensed, legal services to compete head to head and actually give consumers the music they want."
Hutley made it clear that suing customers is no longer a priority, and that MRA had no interest in individual customer's details, and admitted that she doesn't know how much it would cost ISPs to implement blocking orders or a 'three strikes' system, and said it never came up in the three years the ISPs were in discussions with content owners and the Attorney-General's Department although she did say "Every time [ISPs] do something that [they] have an obligation to do, based on that balance, [content owners] will pay".
iiNet's chief regulatory officer Steve Dalby, who was a participant in the roundtable discussions before they came to an abrupt halt last year, told ZDNet that costs were repeatedly brought into the discussion, but it wasn't about the quantum so much as the principle of the liability for costs saying "The content owners' principle being that they want to stop what they described as losses, by having ISPs incurring costs by harassing customers" and "Our principle was that according to law, we have no obligation to incur costs by protecting third parties' rights" adding "It's not our industry's job to do their work for them, and that includes putting proposals forward to solve their problem" and rather bitingly commented on content owners actions as ""The only proactive steps they've taken is lobbying incessantly with cries of 'somebody do something' [and] failing miserably in the High Court to prove that ISPs are at fault for their failed business model."

Graham Smith said...
The plaintiffs in the iiNet litigation argued unsuccessfully that iiNet itself infringed copyright by authorising its users' infringements.
The EU blocking injunctions are against ISPs who, it is accepted, do not infringe.
The two are quite different: conceptually, jurisdictionally and in the balancing of interests when an injunction is sought against a third party acting lawfully rather than against an infringer.

Videos from a Ken show at the Fire on March 20th 2010. My best guess is Ken has been around now for over 15 years. Going through many different singers and drummers in the early days until the current lineup that has been together for at least 10 years now. They released one 7″ and two cd's (you should buy them here) Ken doesn't play out much these days but when they do it's worth the wait. I'm not very good at describing music and I can't think of another band that Ken sounds like so just check it out. Also go to the I Like Ken Website. (I tried to fix the audio on the videos but it's still a little crackly. My flip style video camera I discovered does not have a volume control and it recorded a little too loud.) I also included a video for the song "Happy Suicide" directed by Paul Hazlett and the audio files are below all the videos.

Jumbo loans is a term used to describe those mortgages that are well above the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac federal loan limitations. The limitations are set each January, and they vary based on market conditions and average home prices. For an individual to seek a loan larger than the limit, he or she will need to go to a lender willing to provide a jumbo loan. Most standard lenders will consider these large loans for those individuals who qualify based on their financial stability. Even if you qualify, though, a jumbo loan comes with many risks to consider before signing the contract.
The biggest risk with a jumbo loan is you will not be able to meet the extremely high monthly payment fees. When you are paying off a loan greater than $500,000, you will have to pay a large chunk of your monthly income toward your mortgage. Beyond this, interest rates on jumbo loans tend to be higher because the loans pose more risk for the lender. Most individuals who seek jumbo loans have a high salary but low liquidity to make a down payment. If this describes your position, consider what would happen if you lost your job. While the risk may be minimal, it is still a risk. Do you have the cash saved to continue to make your payments even if you lose your job? Experts say should have at least three months' salary saved. However, if you are in a jumbo loan situation with high interest rates and high monthly payments, you may need six months' saved in order to keep yourself safe.
Even though you will pay a substantial sum each month toward the principal of the loan, you are chipping a way at a huge amount of cash. Most jumbo loans are arranged on 30-year loan terms. This means you will be in debt well into your adulthood regardless of when you are taking the loan. People who choose jumbo loans have reason to believe they will be in the home for a significant amount of time. To these purchasers, it makes more sense to have one pricey loan than to buy and sell multiple homes alone the way. If you do choose to leave before you have built enough equity in your home, however, it will be essential for you to sell you home quickly and at close to the asking price. Otherwise, you could end up losing money in your home purchase.
Lenders need to protect themselves against the risk of possible refinancing or modification on your part. Because you will have the loan for so long, you may decide it is in your best interest to change the terms somewhere down the line. This usually occurs when interest rates go down or your financial situation improves. To protect against this risk, lenders will offer very strict loan terms and high origination fees. This makes seeking the loan in the first place expensive and modifying the loan later on additionally very pricey. You should not accept the terms of a jumbo loan based on the assumption you can easily change them in the future once your situation or the economy improves. Choose your loan as if you will be stuck with these terms for the entirety of the loan cycle.

NNSA achieves 50 percent production for W76-1 units
Posted at 11:06 pm October 29, 2014
By National Nuclear Security Administration Leave a Comment
Frank Klotz
WASHINGTON, D.C.—The National Nuclear Security Administration said last week that it had reached the halfway point in the production phase of the W76-1 warhead Life Extension Program, or LEP. An event held at the Pantex Plant in Amarillo, Texas, underscored NNSA's commitment to meeting the U.S. Navy's requirements for the W76-1.
Gen. Frank G. Klotz, U.S. Department of Energy under secretary for nuclear security and NNSA administrator, was on hand to personally thank the men and women of Pantex who helped achieve the production milestone.
"The W76-1 Life Extension Program is one of several steps we must take as a nation to ensure that America's smaller nuclear arsenal remains safe, secure, and effective," Klotz said. "The highly skilled Pantex team will continue to play an indispensable role in protecting the security of the United States, as well as our allies and partners, for many years to come. For that reason, it's imperative that we continue to invest in the people and in the infrastructure needed to carry out that important, enduring task."
"This is indeed a significant milestone for our nation and our Navy," said Vice Adm. Terry Benedict, director of the Strategic Systems Programs. "Through the Navy's continued partnership with NNSA, the team has achieved this important milestone, and I look forward to completion of W76-1 production before the decade is out. The combination of the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine and the Trident II D5 Strategic Weapon System operated by our dedicated sailors forms the backbone of our nation's nuclear deterrent."
The W76-1 Life Extension Program involves engineers, scientists, and technicians from NNSA's Pantex Plant, the Y-12 National Security Complex, Savannah River Site, National Security Campus, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories.
The W76-1 Life Extension Program first unit was completed in September 2008. The program remains on track to produce and deliver warheads to the Navy in keeping with its commitment to complete production not later than the end of Fiscal Year 2019.
The primary goals of the W76-1 Life Extension Program are to extend the original warhead service life from 20 to 60 years and address aging issues. In addition, the goals of the program are to incorporate nuclear safety enhancements, maximize the reuse of W76-0 components, minimize system certification risk in the absence of underground nuclear testing, and refurbish the system in a proactive and affordable manner.
As a key part of its national security mission, NNSA, through the Office of Defense Programs, ensures that the U.S. nuclear stockpile meets the country's national security requirements and continues to serve its essential deterrence role.

I liked Chastity more than the book before it Grace. Though I wasn't a fan of the character, Chastity at first (much like I didn't care for Grace), I grew to like her. When she finally decided to do what was best for her, I couldn't help, but cheer her on. What Chastity went through seemed relatable to me. I have known so many people who didn't get the love they deserved from their parents, and just have been treated badly for things they had no control over. I have seen what people who are treated like that will do. Seeing Chastity grow beyond that was amazing.I did have a two small problems. One, Chastity's love interest, Jared. Many of the characters aren't likable, granted they weren't supposed to be, but I suppose that was okay. Jared was a good guy, and Chastity deserved someone like that. I don't know why, but I didn't like him. (Maybe I just had high expectations after Lucien in Grace.) The second problem, which was probably my fault (again my expectations might have been a bit high). I was a tad bit disappointed with the ending, however, I still enjoyed the book, and it didn't kill anything for me. Of course by the end I was just so proud of Chastity and what she had done that the ending probably could have been worse and it still wouldn't have mattered to me. Once I was sucked up into it and couldn't put it down, there was no question about the rating I would give it. I would give it a 4 out of 5. And as with Grace, I would highly recommend this book to people who are into both contemporary and/or paranormal romance. The book can also be read without reading Grace, as they aren't exactly connected.I was given this book by the author for an honest review.
