Rogelio Martinez
More than 24 hours after two Border Patrol agents were injured, one fatally, in a rural Texas county, there was still no official explanation for what happened.
A spokesman for their union said, however, that the two agents appeared to have been hit by rocks, a conclusion that Customs and Border Protection did not confirm. It said only that the dead agent, Rogelio Martinez, died as "a result of injuries sustained while on patrol."
Martinez, 36, and a second agent, who has not been identified, were responding to unspecified "activity" while on patrol near Interstate 10 near Van Horn, Texas, when they were injured, CBP said in a statement Sunday. The second agent then called in for assistance and said they were both injured.
CBP provided no additional information about the activity the agents were investigating, or the cause of their injuries. A spokesperson for the agency referred questions to the FBI, which took over the investigation Sunday.
Jeanette Harper, a spokesperson with the FBI, said that on Saturday at about 11:20 p.m. Border Patrol agents located Martinez and another colleague near a culvert area adjacent to Interstate 10, about 12 miles east of Van Horn, Texas.
"Both Agents sustained traumatic head injuries, along with other miscellaneous physical injuries such as broken bones," Harper said.
Martinez succumbed to his injuries on Sunday morning and the results of an autopsy are pending. The other agent remains in the intensive care unit at a hospital in El Paso, Texas.
Art Del Cueto, a spokesperson for the National Border Patrol Council union, said agents on the ground said the injuries were likely caused by rocks.
"They didn't find a weapon and the injuries were consistent with an attack by rocks," Del Cueto told BuzzFeed News. "From what we know, the agents were responding to sensor traffic."
No one had been arrested in the case, Del Cueto said.
Martinez's death would be the first time a Border Patrol agent had been killed by rocks after years in which officers and the union have said rock throwing prompted agents to shoot at immigrants.
"People always say, 'It's just rocks; why did they have to use their guns to protect themselves?'" Del Cueto said. "Rocks can kill you, that's the bottom line. It's not pebbles people are throwing; these are big boulders."
The issue of confronting rock throwers has long been a problem for Border Patrol. A 2013 report commissioned by CBP found that agents repeatedly stepped in front of fleeing cars to justify opening fire, and that agents shot at rock throwers from across the border instead of simply moving out of harm's way.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced Monday that the state is offering a $20,000 reward for information aid Monday that the state was offering a $20,000 reward for information "leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible."
In a statement Monday, however, the FBI did not confirm that the agents had been attacked. Culberson County Sheriff Oscar Carrillo also expressed skepticism about the union officials' account of the incident, telling the Washington Post Monday that the agents may have fallen.
"The evidence is not obvious as to what happened out there," Carrillo told the paper. Martinez's injuries, he added, "were consistent with a fall."
"Why is the other guy hurt? That's the unknown," he said. "What happened to him?"
Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Elaine Duke said her office was fully supporting the ongoing investigation to determine the cause of death.
"On behalf of the quarter of a million frontline officers and agents of DHS, my thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Agent Martinez and to the agent who is in serious condition," Duke said in a statement.
Politicians including President Trump took to Twitter on Sunday to decry Martinez's death and renew calls for increased enforcement on the border.

"What upsets me is how quickly this was politicized," Del Cueto said. "The reality is we have a dead agent and he was murdered."
Martinez started working with Border Patrol in August 2013, CBP said, and was from El Paso, Texas.

Thoughtful ideas explicating good mental health, posted by a legit research center at UC Berkeley.
Happiness is not just about joy.
people who experience "emodiversity," or a rich array of both positive and negative emotions, have better mental health.
"prioritizing positivity"—deliberately carving out ample time in life for experiences that we personally enjoy.
That's what I've been trying to do with my work—to make space to be exuberant, think about purpose, find flow, exercise creativity, and nurture relationships.
I don't need to make space for myself to be negative—I'm plenty good at that already. Like most people, I get anxious and stressed out. I ruminate. I replay regrets and hold pointless internal monologues about perceived slights. I get angry and sad. These are easy habits of mind for me. Via my work, I'm trying to create a counterbalance.
Lately, I've also become interested in non-attachment. Tackling things head-on is one strategy; letting things go by on their own momentum is another.
Mindfully embrace—rather than suppress—tough emotions…. Rather than getting caught up in the drama of an emotional reaction, a mindful person kindly observes the emotion without judging it as the right or wrong way to be feeling in a given situation, creating space to choose a healthy response.

Bladen Co. Improvement Association President says he was tipped off about absentee ballot investigation
PAC tipped off about investigation
By David Hodges | February 26, 2019 at 3:57 PM EST - Updated February 26 at 7:39 PM
CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - The President of the Bladen County Improvement Association says he was tipped off that the North Carolina State Board of Elections would be investigating McCrae Dowless and absentee ballot programs in Bladen County during the 2018 election cycle.
In an exclusive interview with WBTV, BCIA President Horace Munn says he received the tip before the 2018 primary. Shortly after getting the tip, he said, he told investigators with the North Carolina State Board of Elections that his organization would not take part in an absentee ballot program that year.
The NCSBE voted last week to hold a new election in the 9th Congressional District, following a four-day hearing into voting irregularities in the district that focused largely on activities carried out by Dowless as part of an absentee ballot operation.
Dowless was hired by Republican candidate Mark Harris to run an absentee ballot program, among other things, in Bladen, Robeson and Cumberland Counties.
When asked, Munn would not reveal who tipped him off, saying he would withhold that information until the criminal investigation into absentee ballot fraud is finished.
After he received the tip, Munn said he also informed members of the Improvement Association that they would forego any absentee ballot programs during the 2018 election.
"I told them we are not doing absentee ballots this year," Munn said. Munn said he told the members that what they do on their own time is up to them.
Several members of the BCIA turned in a total of 458 absentee ballot applications before the 2018 general election but Munn insisted that they were acting on their own and not representing BCIA.
Despite his claim, the BCIA was brought up numerous times by board investigators, witnesses and board members. But Munn said he felt the treatment from the NCSBE was unfair and that he was set up by investigators to try and make a case that 'both sides' were violating election laws.
Specifically, Munn said testimony from Lisa Britt—who worked for Dowless in the 2018 election—in which she pointed out Munn and said she saw at Dowless' office making copies of absentee ballot applications, was a lie.
Lisa Britt points out Horace Munn on the 1st day of hearings in the 9th Congressional District election hearings.
"I haven't dealt with McCrae in years," Munn said.
Munn believes his entire reason for being at the hearings was a ruse by board investigators.
Munn said that after he received the tip that the NCSBE would be investigating Dowless, he called Joan Fleming, NCSBE's Chief Investigator, to tell her the BCIA would not be participating in an absentee ballot program in 2018.
"I know that he's (Dowless) doing stuff illegally and to keep my organization clean we will not participate," Munn said he told Fleming. He said he also told her that he was tipped off about investigation.
Before the 9th District hearings began, Munn said he received a subpoena to testify. He said Fleming told him he would be called to testify about their conversation.
Executive Director Kim Strach (left) and Chief Investigator Joan Fleming (right) during the first day of hearings.
Instead, Munn said that on the first day he was asked to leave the witness room and come to the main hearing room during Lisa Britt's testimony. It was at that point that Britt pointed out Munn as someone she saw at Dowless' office during the 2018 election cycle.
"Haul me upstairs like a piece of meat just to point me out," Munn said. He said that once Britt's testimony was finished he was told by board staff that he was released from his subpoena.
Munn claimed that Dowless' phone records obtained by the board would prove that he's telling the truth about not being in contact with Dowless.
"Why would you let her point me out when you know she's lying?" Munn said
Munn also claimed that the board of elections did not pay for his room or travel and only did that for witnesses they wanted to hear from.
Munn said there's even more to uncover about McCrae Dowless' absentee ballot operation and he's hoping that investigations into his operation continue.
"McCrae wasn't stupid enough to get caught," Munn said. "He thought he was above the law."
A spokesman for the NCSBE said in an email statement "State Board staff believes that the evidence presented in Raleigh last week will serve as a reminder that this agency will not tolerate efforts to defraud the electoral system in North Carolina. Our agency will support all prosecutorial efforts by the Wake County District Attorney."
The spokesperson declined to answer numerous questions from WBTV citing the ongoing criminal investigation but said that "The State Board paid expenses for witnesses who were asked to travel to Raleigh on Sunday night ahead of the hearing."

The new realities of the tech-centric workforce has, in many ways, required a reassessment of how well values of equality are played out in the public space. Through its exponential growth in the last decade, tech has been prodded to take a step back, and ensure that its hiring practices and company cultures are propelling the values of equality forward, not backward.
In a slew of reports published in the US last year, the number of women working in the tech industry was only 30%, despite the fact that women account for 59% of the total workforce. Despite the challenges that face the industry, SweetIQ surpasses the industry average by 15%. Over the next few weeks, we'll be celebrating our bright women leaders as we near International Women's Day.
Meet Emilie Fournelle, Director of Product at SweetIQ. Emilie began her journey as a Program Manager at SweetIQ nearly a year ago, and was promoted to Director not long after. She leads a team of nine people, and is the key strategist for the development of SweetIQ's platform. Emilie sat down with me to answer a few questions about her career development, her day-to-day, and how women in tech can be crusaders for equality.
I'm from a small town near St. Sauveur called Prévost. I went to highschool in St. Jerome, and did my degree and my MBA at Université de Quebéc à Montréal in Fashion Marketing. It was a great program; students were given plenty of opportunities to understand the realities of the workforce.
Well, I should mention that during my time at university I started a company with my sister-in-law and brother-in-law. We launched Raphaël-U while I was in CEGEP (in Quebec, that's a couple of years of college after high school), and the company is actually what inspired me to pursue fashion marketing. I wanted to get better at my "day job" as a fashion entrepreneur!
3. Wow. So you ran a company and attended school at the same time? How did you make that happen?
It's all about the team: I had a great team at Raphael-U and we were experiencing very intense growth; we were doubling the size in our market every year. We specialized in school uniforms. I jumped in and helped in every way I could — so that means I worked in a warehouse, drove a lift, managed a team, just to name a few, all in between the ages of 18-27. During our rush right before the school year begins, it wasn't uncommon to work for 24-hours straight. Needless to say, good training for those long-haul tech hours!
4. What happened next — how did the jump from fashion to tech happen? Was it accidental or purposeful?
When I finished my degree in marketing, I went to do my MBA right after. I knew I wanted to transition out of fashion eventually, simply because I was passionate about learning more about the digital sphere, and I wanted to really expand my skill set and knowledge base.
When I was finishing up my MBA I applied for a job at Yellow Pages on a job hunting site. I wasn't expecting anything. The entire transition into the tech world was actually very organic. I applied for a Go-To Market position and got it. My job there was to oversee SEO and website — where I planned pricing, training and collateral for product.
5. What was the company there like, did you work with people who made a big impact on your development?
Well Yellow Pages has been around for over 100 years; it's a matured company, so it's very structured. In comparison to the typical start-up environment, the pace isn't as crazy. So this is all to say it's a great place to learn a ton in a tech environment, while there's some breathing room to ask questions and take slightly more time with your projects if you need to. There's plenty of training available too, which is also great for young, eager people. And when I was there, I met two women in particular who have become key mentors for my career.
6. What were the qualities these women had that made them "mentors."?
The delivery of constant and open feedback; both negative and positive comments. There was a clear sense of openness, and a willingness to give me projects and let me grow into the position. I was a afforded a lot of liberty, freedom and trust to run with it and learn along the way.
7. Tell me about your jump to SweetIQ: why did you choose to take the next step, and what's it like developing a platform in such a competitive industry?
I met with the executive team and I loved the vision they had — there was a clear direction toward the future and I knew of their strong influence in a niche market. I also saw how much potential there was to grow, both as a professional and along with the company. I was very excited at the potential to contribute to something that was going to evolve greatly and have the freedom to implement my own ideas.
As for developing a platform in a competitive industry, it's always challenging, but that's what makes it fun for me. And I would say that there's a big reliance on the team aspect, too. Your team needs to be your central motivator and your reason to push forward. In this industry, there's a lot of pressure to perform and constantly evolve — but if you keep looking towards the future, you'll be in a good position.
8. What qualities do you try to use in your own leadership?
Transparency is key for me. From my first mentors, I really learned the value of feedback. But I also want my team to feel like they can approach me with anything. I work on instilling a strong sense of team; always cover someone else's back.
I think we might be getting closer. But there's so much more to do, particularly within emerging tech environments. I think tech could take some lessons from the jobs like notary or a lawyer; I think that where there is more structure, there might be more room to implement protocols and strategies towards a diversifying staff.
On the other hand, with less structure there's more room to grow — but that might only be for a certain personality type. There's pros and cons to each, but taking certain elements from hyper structured companies may be a good solution.
10. What advice do you have for women going into a tech environment who want their career to grow?
Just roll with it — you are smart, you can do it. If someone beside you is capable; that means you are capable. At this point, I think one of our biggest challenges is the widespread problem of Impostor Syndrome. We need to believe in ourselves and ask for the things that we want, and trust in our own intelligence and value.
11. How do you recommend we go about overcoming the challenges we face in a concrete way?
As I said before, the most important thing is to be confident. Don't be held back by the past. Go for whatever you want and just do it. I also think it's key that women hire more women and other minorities. We need to sponsor each other, mentor each other, and push for progress from within our own companies. Also, know your target when you're negotiating at work: be firm and stand your ground.
12. Do you see the current political climate in the US as a setback?
No — I think the opposite. The demonstrations around the world are showing solidarity. It's inspiring for me and shows we have the potential to keep pushing towards diversity. The sense of camaraderie I'm witnessing is something I feel within the tech industry as well. We need to keep doing more of this and moving forward. That's the key.

Q: Let $A^3=0$; check if $A^2-A+I$ is invertible and, if it is, find its inverse
Let $A^3=0$; check if $A^2-A+I$ is invertible and, if it is, find its inverse.

Is it possible to solve it this way?
$A^2-A+I=A(A-I)+I=B$
Multiply both sides by $A^2$:
$A^3(A-I)+ A^2= A^2B$
$A^2= A^2B$
$I=B$
$I$ is an invertible matrix!

A: $$(A+I)(A^2-A+I)=A^3+I$$
Hence,
$$(A+I)(A^2-A+I)=I$$

A: No, you can't remove $A^2$ in the last step, because $A$ is not invertible.
For instance, $A=\begin{pmatrix}0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0\end{pmatrix}$ satisfies $A^3=0$, but
$$
A^2-A+I=\begin{pmatrix}1 & -1 \\ 0 & 1\end{pmatrix}\ne I
$$
contradicting your conclusion.

A: The problem with your proof is that you consider by saying $A^2 = A^2 B \implies I = B$ that $\mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb{K})$ is an integral domain. An integral domain is a ring $R$ such as :
$$\forall a, b \in R, \ ab = 0 \implies a = 0 \lor b = 0$$
In such a ring, if $c \in R\setminus\{0\}$, we have :
$$\forall a, b \in R, \ ac = bc \implies (a-b)c = 0 \implies a-b = 0 \lor c = 0 \implies a = b$$
...which is the property you've used.
However, $\mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb{K})$ isn't an integral domain, for exemple :
$$\begin{bmatrix}
1 & 0 \\
0 & 0
\end{bmatrix} \times \begin{bmatrix}
0 & 0 \\
0 & 1
\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}
0 & 0 \\
0 & 0
\end{bmatrix}$$
Ahmed S. Attaalla's answer is a correct proof that $B$ is an invertible matrix.

A: You can go further with your approach to make it work. One route through is to try to express the left-hand side as multiples of $B$ plus the original $I$ (you can do that with $A^2=A^2B$ so need to attack the $A$) $$A^2-A+I=B$$Multiply by $A^2$ as you did $$A^2=A^2B$$ Now also multiply by $A$ $$-A^2+A=AB$$Substitute the result for $A^2$ in this latest result $$-A^2B+A=AB; A=A^2B+AB$$ Now sub back into the original equation $$A^2B-A^2B-AB+I=B$$ or $$I=B+AB=IB+AB=(I+A)B$$

As I discussed in my last post, our company made a commitment in 2015 to achieve organizational health.
Signs that indicate organizational health are: minimal politics and confusion, high morale and productivity, and low turnover among good employees.
What business leader doesn't want to achieve all that?
To become healthy, an organization must be willing to engage in a process that answers such foundational questions as: "Why do we exist?"; "How do we behave?"; "What do we do?"; "How will we succeed?"; and "What is most important right now?".
Sound easy? It's not. The goal is to create unifying clarity, which means your entire leadership team must be involved in answering and totally aligning behind the answers.
KCIC's core purpose is to create an environment in which our employees can thrive while solving problems for our clients in a transformational way.
Partner and Collaborate – We are deeply committed to client service and enjoy investing in long-term relationships with both our clients and members of our company. As project teams, we engage with our clients in co-creation and joint problem solving rather than simply executing instructions.
We Find a Way – We have the persistence, perseverance and creativity needed to find solutions to problems, and embrace the challenges we find along the way.
Passion for Learning – We encourage an enthusiasm and energy for improving every aspect of what we do and how we do it.
Achievement with Flexibility – We are demanding of ourselves as individuals and as an organization. We achieve our goals with a seriousness of purpose balanced with humor and a sense of humility. We strive to balance this with valuing our employees as members of families and members of communities.
We are a consulting firm that helps companies manage their product liabilities.
We do our best work when we partner with our clients to combine leading-edge technology and consulting expertise to create innovative solutions.
The answer to the last question ("What is most important right now?") can vary from year to year, quarter to quarter … any given amount of time. But it must identify only a single area of focus – the top priority. That's it. No other priorities get listed.
I must say, it has been quite liberating to be clear, to have those crisp answers, and to recognize and own them as being truly ours. Repeatedly communicated and reinforced within our organization, our Playbook is a daily reminder of who we are.

Working title of thesis: Greek Diatonicism In Western & Byzantine Music Theory (9th-13th cc.): Mathematical Nature, Interpretations, Deviations, and Performance Practice
Supervisor: Dr Alexander Lingas
Overview and Research Interests
A cross-cultural reconsideration of the question of 'corruption' of the diatonic scale in Early Medieval Latin chant and Byzantine Psaltic Art. This research aims to offer a new, more holistic understanding of the relative cultural positions of Byzantine liturgical music and its Western Christian counterparts during the Middle Ages, stressing their similar character along their natural differences.
The research will propose:
A re-reading of medieval theory for a synthesis that takes into account the latest research on the matter of Western reception of Greek diatonicism and its multiple forms of deviation in both Eastern and Western traditions, stressing especially the importance of chants that did not fit to descriptive or prescriptive systems of classification and their gradual 'correction' or abandonment.
Using primary sources to indicate the practical reasons behind the superficial reading and misinterpretation of the Greek music theory, and the narrowing down of broad-scope diatonicism. Greek music theory taught as a foreign language and losing in translation.
Chant transcriptions with suggested performing solutions.

Steve Coomber examines the likelihood of finding a Monet or money in the corporate world
Steve Coomber
"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life," said Pablo Picasso. But, as Steve Coomber discovers, deep in the dusty engine room of the corporate world you are as likely to find a Monet as money.
The late 1980s was a boom time for auction houses around the world. A remarkable series of art purchases, many by Japanese corporations such as the Mitsukoshi Department Store and Nippon Autopolis, culminated in the sale of Vincent van Gogh's the Portrait of Dr. Gachet for £49.1 million, at Christie's New York in 1990. Portrait of Dr. Gachet was bought by Japanese industrialist Ryoei Saito, at the time chairman of Daishowa Paper Manufacturing. The painting was shipped to a secret location in Tokyo, locked away in a climate-controlled vault, and has not been seen in public since.
This is the popular image of corporate art: trophy art – large, expensive paintings either adorning the offices of senior executives, or more frequently languishing unseen in a bank vault. Increasingly, however, this view is misguided. More and more major corporations are embracing the notion of art for art's sake.
The lure of art is explained by Gerry Griffin, of the Business Communication Forum (BCF) and author of The Power Game. "First, art can be quite a good investment," says Griffin. "It is also associated with innovation and breaking the rules, thinking outside the box. Companies like the sound of that, and use art to say there is a different way of looking at things. Plus there is the corporate social responsibility side with companies becoming involved in worthy projects which are still related to what the company does or where it operates in some way."
A new aesthetic
Few companies embrace the concept of corporate art like Deutsche Bank. Art permeates the corporate infrastructure. Deutsche Bank buildings are an introduction to the history of art. Whole floors are named after artists. Visitors to the company's headquarters in Frankfurt can take a ride in the lift to the Horst Antes floor or the Joseph Beuys' floor; both famous German artists. In the London HQ, Winchester House, executives hold meetings in the Graham Sutherland, or Francis Bacon conference room.

Nakheel, Centara ink JV deal to build $136m Deira Islands resort
Thai hotel group partners with Dubai developer to create 550-room beachfront project with waterpark
Dubai-based master developer Nakheel and Thai hotel group Centara Hotels and Resorts on Monday signed a joint venture agreement to create a 550-room, AED500 million ($136 million) beachfront resort with waterpark at Deira Islands.
Under the agreement, the two companies will deliver an upscale resort on a prime stretch of beach on Nakheel's new 15.3 sq km tourism, leisure, retail and entertainment hub, a statement said.
Nakheel said the joint venture with Centara is the latest development in the company's aggressive expansion into Dubai's hospitality sector and its second international joint venture for Deira Islands.
The first, an 800-room, AED900 million all-inclusive resort and waterpark with Spain's RIU Hotels & Resorts, was confirmed in February.
As the first Centara establishment in the UAE, the new resort will cover an area of 295,900 sq ft and include a waterpark, dining facilities, business centre, kids' club, spa and fitness centre. The resort is anticipated to have soft opening in 2019 and grand opening in 2020, Nakheel said.
Centara's portfolio currently includes around 14,000 room keys across 65 hotels and resorts under six distinctive brands in Asia, Indian Ocean, and the Middle East.
Nakheel chairman Ali Rashid Lootah said: "Our joint venture with Centara cements our commitment to partnering with successful, reputable international hotel brands to bring new tourism concepts to Dubai in line with the Government of Dubai's tourism vision.
"Today's signing is a key milestone in hospitality expansion – and the beginning of a long-term strategic partnership between Nakheel and one of Thailand's biggest, most popular hotel operators. We look forward to seeing this exciting project come to fruition by delivering a new and unique offering at Deira Islands."
Suthikiati Chirathivat, chairman of Centara Hotels and Resorts added: "We are thrilled and proud to be partnering with Nakheel on this joint venture hotel investment that will see Centara Hotels & Resorts operate and manage a distinguished new resort in an exciting new destination.
"This partnership is a ground-breaking move for Centara as we continue to extend our upscale resort portfolio internationally. This is Centara's first hotel in Dubai, and the UAE, and represents our arrival in a key gateway city in the Middle East."
Deira Islands, where Nakheel has already invested more than AED3 billion in infrastructure work, coastal works and design services for a range of new projects, will add 40km, including 21km of beach, to Dubai's coastline.
The development is expected to create more than 80,000 new jobs, and offer hundreds of new hotels, serviced apartments and mixed-use buildings, and extensive retail and leisure attractions.
Nakheel itself is building 16 residential towers, five hotels, two serviced apartment complexes, Deira Mall, Deira Islands Night Souk and several marinas at the islands.

We are just over halfway through the season, and United are very fortunate to be in their position. They have certainly been no great shakes all season, but the rest of the top sides just haven't got their act together either.
Don't really care. Anyone could post on Yahoo.
Have to totally agree with this. They do deserve to be top of the table, but they don't deserve to be undefeated! For one they should have lost to West Brom.
True. Rooney has played all the matches, hasnt he?
Yeah because he is SOO on form.
And yes,Rio and Vidic were injured and didn't play in the same game.
Nani was injured for 4 months,righht ?
You were hit By THOSE Injuries,right ?
Got your point, karim. And I like the way you wrote it! Buble up for you!!!
Thanks...I thought you were gonna be angry.
fergie even admitted that they woud get beat eventually, i still dont know how arsenal did it.


Jeremy and both boys went with me to Brian Head this weekend and it was the first time he has seen the place without snow since he was not around during fall last year. The grass is coming in green and the Aspens are starting to grow leaves.
The place had more people than my last trip up, but it was still largely dead. We ate at the Bump and Grind and hung out a decent amount. We took US-89 up and back and the ride was mellow and relaxing as we avoided Hoover Dam over a holiday weekend.
Summer is just kicking off in Phoenix and the 110 degree temps are only days away. As we drove in on Saturday, it was SNOWING! It got down into the low 20's and while it didn't snow much, it certainly snowed some. Foggy and snowing. What a contrast.
I had some business at the Condo to take care of and missed game 3. We watched on the tv in the condo. But I ran into the former owner of my condo and invited him up to have a look. He didn't know what to say. Not even the same place. You would think he had never lived there. Amazed.
I am heading up again after the playoffs are over. This season's playoffs have been a marathon of emotions, but certainly enjoyable. It was nice to relax a bit and breathe the fresh air at Brian Head.
Great blog… hope you'll keep it up over the summer!

- My name is Kady Taylor. I teach first grade at Kuumba Academy Charter School in Wilmington, Delaware. After five years of teaching first grade, I've always believed that kids should be in a developmentally safe place, a developmentally appropriate place, and Labs is just that. It lets them learn through play. It lets them follow a routine, which is what primary learners need. Right now, we're exploring different types of birds, and how their body parts help them survive. Why is this beak so important for crushing a seed? Giving them that hands-on experience really helps to just deepen their understanding. It's so much better than just reading it in a book, writing about it, and moving on. Now they get to do it, and feel it, and know it.
- A macaw, that's right. That's a really good question. What do think would happen if this bucket was filled with water?
- Are we allowed to fill it with water?
- Do you think we should try to?
- I had not planned to pull out water. Something in my gut was just like, teachable moment. Run. Go. They're asking a relevant question, and they're curious, and they want to know. Give them the tools to find out, and they did. She started scooping that water, and she was like, "It works." That's where you kind of learn, as a teacher, what your practice is really about. In that moment, that's what that practice was really about, giving them the tools they needed to discover that piece of learning. I think the other part of Labs is trust. I trust them with materials, and they trust me, like Jayana trusted me today. If I'm gonna ask her to do something, she's gonna let me learn this. Using the different stages of Labs is so important. So, when we launch, they're exposed to one Lab at a time, as a whole class. And, we go over what the goal is, what the materials are, why we're doing this work. I think as you build up their self-esteem in that Lab, their knowledge of the Lab, the purpose of the Lab, you also move through a gradual release of the ownership of the Lab. The teacher's guide has been really great. The first thing I did was I just sat and I read it. I needed to understand how Labs were supposed to move, the materials that I would need, and then ultimately what is the goal of each individual Lab, and what is the progression. After reading it, then I go back and I find the purpose of each Lab. Then I go back again, and I figure out which pieces are inherently already living within me. Right? Singing to my kids is something that brings joy. Transitioning between three different stations is something that I really needed to flush out. So, that's where I went back to the teacher's guide to look for any advice or input. Primary learners learn through routine. They learn through song and exploration. So, the fact that they can sing this book is not only an engagement technique, but they're also remembering what makes a bird a bird. Any time I can pull in music or chanting, we do a lot of oral response in here. It gives them a chance to let noise out, but it also helps keep them in this rhythm and this pattern of moving. In the Explorer Lab, they're really supposed to be testing that with pennies. So, I made a modification, and I just used cubes. For other materials, I've relied on the other staff members in the building. I've gotten a lot of free lab materials from using Donors Choose. So, I just think being creative is the best way to kind of navigate all the materials. So, earlier today, I had to pull them back and kind of reground them in what are we doing and why are we doing this. I have a shout out.
- How strong it is.
- I'm testing how strong it is by putting cubes in there, and feeling which side is hard.
- But, birds can't fill their hollow bones. So, there's this weird gap of knowledge that I somehow now need to address, which is fine, but I wouldn't know that unless I was really paying attention and writing down the things that I notice. Can birds fill their bones, though?
- So, should we fill our bones?
- Ah, okay. So, let's try to test it when it's still hollow. Labs matter to my kids because it gives them a chance to kind of figure out who they are. I kind of like breathe easy, and I just think learning is messy. Dirt is messy. Labs are messy, but you need this mess. So, the shift in my practice has really been from what does Miss Taylor want to what do my kids deserve. I think my practice needed that. You know, you hit the five year, and you're like, "I'm tired. "I'm really tired." But now, I'm kind of like, "I'm so excited. "What are my kids gonna do today? "What are we gonna build? "What are we gonna make? "What are we gonna learn and wonder?" So, Labs has really helped me bring passion back and joy into the room.

Your organization is filled with people who have great ideas to make things run better. The problem is, most of that innovation goes unheard, and therefore untapped. Why? Because people may not think their idea is worthy of consideration, or they simply don't know where to go with it.
People love the show Shark Tank because they love seeing the little guy with the big idea find believers who will stand behind him and invest in his dream. Your employees are really no different. They would love nothing more than to have the sharks (senior leaders) value their ideas enough to help test them and bring them to fruition.
A culture of innovation doesn't happen by default – it must be fostered by design. That means having a mechanism in place to solicit and nurture ideas without discouraging creativity.
About a year ago I was working with an organization on culture transformation. We fostered ideas to increase employee engagement. When I talked to them about idea generation they assured me they had a mechanism in place, but no one participated. When I looked at their system and talked with employees, I learned why no one bothered. The process discouraged submission. The paperwork required was more complex than a government grant application. Even an MBA would be intimidated. Their process was equivalent to putting a fifth grader in front of the Sharks. Brutal and extremely lopsided.
Instead of asking someone to write the equivalent of a doctoral dissertation, get the high level information and then allow the person to talk through their idea. If you squelch people's enthusiasm, you'll miss the real pearls of wisdom from the frontline.

This week has been very similar to last week for me. I've been working on the updated website and on the secret graphics feature. Things are coming along nicely, if I do say so myself.
This week turned into another business development week, planning for the road ahead in 2018, and putting the great things that will happen into a spreadsheet.
I spent the week on some general housekeeping and audio.

Andy Murray targets ruthlessness and ranking after brutal Australian Open | Tumaini Carayol
Andy Murray has made undeniable recent strides but aged 35, could do with avoiding epic battles that have built his legacy
At the end of a delirious six days in Melbourne, as Andy Murray again battled into the night and took his audience on a journey of persistence and grit across three consecutive rounds, he was asked if the sacrifices and efforts he had made in order to prepare for the tournament were worth the result. He took a moment to consider his answer.
"I felt good about the way that I was playing," he said. "It's more enjoyable for me when I'm playing like that, when I'm coming into a major event and really believing that I can do some damage. But I can have a deeper run than the third round of a slam, there's no question about that. Obviously draws can open up for you. I need to also help myself with that."


Residents and businesses are reminded that it's never too soon to start preparing for a hurricane. As many of us experienced last September during Hurricane Irma, it only takes one storm to change your life and our community. Tropical cyclones are among nature's most powerful and destructive phenomena and everyone needs to be prepared.
For more information about what you can do to prepare for Hurricane Season, visit the Broward County Hurricane Center and Ready South Florida. You can also receive the latest updates from Broward County Emergency Management on Twitter and Facebook.
In the immediate aftermath of an emergency such as Hurricane Irma, residents can help first responders quickly identify areas of devastation, even before damage assessment teams are able to more effectively canvass the County, by participating in the Home Damage Assessment Program.
The website for the Home Damage Assessment Program shows varying levels of flooding and devastation. As soon as it is safe to go outside, report home damage to Broward County officials via the Broward County Emergency Hotline at 311 in Broward or 954-831-4000. You can also report using your smart phone.
Oakland Park uses CodeRED to quickly deliver emergency messages. This system gives individuals and businesses the ability to add all of their phone numbers directly into the database and select how they receive emergency notifications (phone, text or emails). All businesses should register, as well as any individuals who have unlisted phone numbers, who have changed their phone number or address within the past year, and those who use a cellular phone or VoIP phone as their primary number. CodeRED allows geographically based delivery, which means street addresses are required to ensure emergency notification calls are received by the proper individuals in a given situation.

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) best practices recommend that you do not use your root account credentials to access AWS. Instead, you should create individual IAM users so that you can give each user a unique set of security credentials. The IAM Best Practices also recommend that you enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for IAM users who are allowed access to sensitive resources or APIs.
You can monitor whether activity in your AWS account adheres to these best practices by creating the CloudWatch alarms that notify you when root account credentials have been used to access AWS, or when API activity or console sign-ins without MFA have occurred. These alarms are described in this document.
This scenario walks you through how to use the AWS Management Console to create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm that is triggered when root (account) credentials are used.

Q: Please outline the three most important macro trends that you believe will impact the market infrastructure industry in 2019?
A: The first important macro trend that I believe will impact the market structure industry in 2019 is political event risk. Particularly in Europe and the Americas, I believe political event risk will continue to drive market volatility spikes and associated volume. The second trend will be market fragmentation and algorithmic trading. This will drive transaction volume and increase the complexity of meeting audit trail requirements. The third trend will be cybercrime and the potential for activities by nation-state actors. This will require continued high levels of focus and expenditures on all forms of information security.

Data collection for the 2004 Census of Medical Examiner and Coroner Offices was conducted by RTI International (RTI) on behalf of BJS under cooperative agreement 2005-MU-MU-K011. BJS provided an initial draft questionnaire and respondent list to RTI. RTI reviewed the draft questionnaire for general content and design and coordinated a forensic expert panel review of the instrument to obtain feedback on specific items.
The initial list of ME/C offices operating in the United States was provided to BJS by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. RTI updated the list and conducted telephone verification of contact information for each office.
Data were collected by mixed mode. In addition to mail-out packages, RTI created a web site on which respondents could access the questionnaire and provide responses electronically. Follow-up efforts included Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) and e-mail. Seventy-one percent of respondents used mail or facsimile transmission of data, 13% responded via the Internet, and 16% responded by telephone.
A total of 1,998 ME/C offices were enumerated in the census. Despite extensive follow-up efforts, 281 ME/C offices did not respond to the request for information, yielding an overall response rate of 85.9%.

Ben Affleck will no longer direct The Batman, according to Variety.
Affleck, who wrote the screenplay and will remain on board as both star and exdecutive producer of the film, has been expressing slight differences of opinion with the studio for some time, indicating that he was more concerned with perfecting the script before going forward, while the studio had concerns about hitting their release date.
Affleck debuted his take on Batman in last year's Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and was generally praised even among the film's harshest critics. He looks poised to be the point-of-view character and de facto lead in this year's Justice League movie, which sees Batman and Wonder Woman assembling the titular superhero team.
The filmmaker had recently made some comments suggesting that he was reluctant to direct the film while also starring, indicating that he hoped to get a more comfortable costume to work in, and that he understood the scope of the project.
Justice League will open in theaters on November 17, 2017. The Batman release date is TBD.

At the Florilège Vocal de Tours in 2009, le Chœur voyageur won the first 2 prizes and also picked up the Inter-Category award at the Rencontres Nationales. The fourth award was for Alexis Duffaure who won the international award for choral direction.
Alexis Duffaure began his career in music as a pianist at the age of 5. Driven by his passion for direction, in 2004 he obtained a degree in choral direction. After 2 years conducting the academy's symphony orchestra, the Conservatoire de Bordeaux appointed him director of the Grand Choeur in 2009. He is currently choirmaster at Bordeaux cathedral, a staff member at the Conservatoire de Bordeaux and lecturer at the Bordeaux III Faculty of Musicology. He also directs the « Choeur Voyageur » together with two children's choirs.

Sustanon 250 and Anavar Cycle (Cutting) Anavar is an oral steroid, predominantly used for cutting to enhance fat burning and muscle gains, but also used to reduce inflammation and to control blood sugar and insulin levels. It is thought to be a potent anti-acids. Aconitine Anavar is the first amino acid I introduced in this column, sustanon 250 cutting. It's widely used in Japan and China because it's been shown to be both effective and safe in reducing blood sugar levels and maintaining weight loss, how often to inject sustanon 250 bodybuilding. According to Wikipedia, in the United States Anavar is considered the equivalent of about 250 mg per kilogram of bodyweight. Anavar has other uses besides body-fat reduction, sustanon 250 stack with deca. It's being used in Japan to treat various liver and kidney disorders and to prevent cancer in the prostate, and some studies suggest it's useful to enhance muscle metabolism and to keep blood pressure down in certain people with high blood pressure levels. Aconitine can be used in diuretics, as a diuretic, or as an analgesic, sustanon 250 sale. Erythrobasaline Erythrobasaline (also known as ivermectin, or COC or RAL) is the main antihistamine used to treat anaphylaxis, and it is believed to have antifungal properties, acting by both blocking immune cells that attack the skin from the inside out, and allowing skin cells to enter the mouth and mouth areas where the bacteria in the mouth live, sustanon 250 sale. It acts to kill the bacteria on the skin but do not necessarily prevent them from entering the mouth. (The antifungant effects of ivermectin is well known.) Aconitine Erythrobasaline is the only diuretic that doesn't have a glycolic acid as its primary constituent; therefore, it will not clog the kidneys or cause kidney damage while being used as a diuretic, sustanon 250 ciclo. Anavar Erystromine has been studied and, according to Aconitine Health, was found as effective as a diuretic in treating various conditions while causing minimal renal damage over a period of a few days of use, sustanon 250 cutting. (Side effects of Erythrobasaline have been observed; these side effects are not related to the antifungal effects of the medication.)

Nonetheless, many pharmacists are extra than inclined to promote pharmaceutical steroids like Andriol, Sustanon 250 and Deca Durabolin with out a prescription. I'm here to convince you why using such drugs does you no good. First, let's discuss the main problems associated with this product. This product is a steroid which can alter muscle structure through the suppression of anabolic hormones (which, in turn, suppresses testosterone activity), thereby diminishing androgen levels, thereby raising levels of the so-called, "male sex hormone"- DHT, and thus ultimately affecting the levels of a number of other androgens, sustanon 250 organon pakistan original. The major problems associated with anabolic steroids are related to their effect on the body's libido and sexual sensitivity. DHT is a type of androgen which has a very high affinity for the androgen receptor, as is testosterone, thus increasing testosterone's androgenicity. Testosterone and anabolic steroids in combination, therefore, result in an increased level of a low molecular weight enzyme in the human hypothalamus known as aromatase (Aromatase Activating SLC-24, an enzyme involved in protein degradation of androstenedione, testosterone, cortisol and the hormones DHT), sustanon 250 stack with deca. This enzyme can have a direct stimulating effect on male sexual responses and can activate the sexual hormone receptor, thereby increasing both the rate of synthesis and its breakdown, sustanon 250 mg nedir. This leads to both increased sexual arousal and, ultimately, a higher level of sexual activity and orgasm in males. These results can be counterbalanced by the opposite phenomenon involving anabolic steroids – the stimulation and inhibition of the body's response to estrogen. This results in higher levels of both sex hormone concentrations (especially DHT, but also its precursor, estradiol) in women. When this is coupled with DHT, it produces a very strong urge to have sex in both sexes, thus reducing a woman's sex drive. This has two undesirable effects: Increases the likelihood of premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction due to lowered libido, as well as increased feelings of sadness, irritability and self-esteem problems (see below); Causes a decrease in sperm motility, which in turns leads to delayed ejaculation and a reduced capacity for prolonged ejaculation; and Increases the risk of sperm competition in women (see below), sustanon 250 gen pharma. As an example of the importance of libido, here is a study done by the American Academy of Pediatrics which investigated the relationship of testosterone, a common male sex hormone, and sexual activity:

AIADMK's list of candidates is proof that Amma knows she's in for a fight
sristy 0 April 7, 2016 10:25 am
Image credit: Arun Sankar K/AFP
Tamil Nadu's ruling All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam on Monday released its list of candidates for the May 16 assembly elections. The theme: the tried and tested hands are back, as are loyalists of former chief minister MG Ramachandran – senior politicians who have been waiting in the wings for several years.
The AIADMK will field candidates in 227 seats, while its allies will contest seven seats. Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa will seek to retain the RK Nagar constituency in Chennai. Finance Minister and two-time stand-in Chief Minister O Panneerselvam gets his old constituency of Bodinayakanur, while state Electricity Minister Natham Viswanathan, another powerful leader within the AIADMK, will now contest from Aathur.
Senior party hands C Ponnaiyan and Panrutti Ramachandran – both MGR confidantes – have finally been brought back after a long hiatus. Ponnaiyan landed the Saidapet seat in Chennai, while Ramachandran will contest from Alandur in the capital city.
Ramachandran rejoined the AIADMK two years ago after close to decade with Vijaykanth's Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam. Businessman K Pandiarajan (also known as Ma Foi Pandiarajan as he runs a human resources firm by that name) is the only other rebel DMDK legislator to have landed a seat with the AIADMK. He will contest from Avadi, near Chennai.
Shrewd politicking
There are very few newcomers in the AIADMK's list of candidates. The party leadership has preferred to go with candidates who have some prior experience, unlike the 2014 Lok Sabha elections where most candidates were first-timers.
"Neither loyalty, nor seniority or experience counted for Parliament," said N Sathiyamoorthy of the Observer Research Foundation, a think tank. "But seniority and political experience as ministers has been taken into account while choosing candidates for the Assembly election."
Some political hawks say the list is rather impressive and indicative of Jayalalithaa's mood for combat in an election that is likely to go down to the wire. Out of 234 constituencies, only seven have gone to allies. These allies, too, will contest on the AIADMK symbol, a move described by analysts as shrewd and calculated.
"Now that she doesn't have any serious established parties as allies, what she has done makes a lot of sense," said RK Radhakrishnan, a senior journalist. "The recall of an Independent's symbol will be far less than that of the 'two leaves' symbol [of the AIADMK], which will bring in more votes than the face of a candidate on the ballot box."
Safe solution
According to Radhakrishnan, Jayalalithaa's list has been carefully thought out.
"She's playing it safe – O Panneerselvam, Natham Viswanathan, Senthil Balaji [former state Transport Minister] have been given tickets again," said Radhakrishan. "She is very clear that she does not want any of these guys working against the party in an election that is going to be won on very small margins. There are a lot of pragmatic decisions. She is playing it safe on all counts."
Radhakrishnan said Jayalalithaa has also managed to keep powerhouses and rival factions happy. Thanga Tamilselvan got the Andipatti seat while O Panneerselvam got Bodinayakanur – these party leaders are rivals within the same district, Theni.
"For the AIADMK, the list can't get any better than this," said Radhakrishnan.
AIADMK candidates were not available for comment.
Meanwhile,observers say that all said and done, it is Amma whom the electorate ultimately votes for. "It is the leader who sways the vote, whether Jayalalithaa or Karunanidhi," said Sathiyamoorthy of Observer Research Foundation. "Very few of these candidates can bring in additional votes beyond what the party cadres and Jayalalithaa could, from the non-committed votebank. Candidates do not matter all that much in Tamil Nadu."

Burgundy and Gold Breakdown: Cowboys guarantee win and deliver perhaps ending East title Division hopes
by Mark F. Gray December 14, 2021

By Mark F. Gray
Special to the AFRO
Channeling the shadows of the legendary coach and current Fox Sports NFL analyst Jimmy Johnson, the Dallas Cowboys came into FedEx Field after talking the talk last Sunday. However, it was their defense that walked over the Washington Football Team, which propelled them to a 27-20 victory and cemented their command of the NFC East Division.
Washington's offense manufactured two scores for the Cowboys defense who took advantage of a depleted offensive line. Micah Parsons made a case for becoming the NFL Defensive Player of the Year and it's Most Valuable Player. He sacked Taylor Heinicke twice and forced a fumble that was returned for a touchdown that sucked the life from the home team's fans. Doran Armstrong recovered the fumble and made a 37 yard house call for the score.
Armstrong and his teammates celebrated his touchdown with some of the many Cowboys by turning the Washington home stadium into an annex of AT&T Stadium in Dallas. The fans in blue outnumbered their Burgundy and Gold counterparts for what felt like a home game for the leaders of the NFC East. After their coach Mike McCarthy guaranteed victory, they brought their personal accessories as part of a takeover with custom benches on the visiting sideline.
In one play, all the warm fuzziness that was buzzing around the team during the four-game losing streak was left for dead. Washington gave up 18 points in the first quarter, which was more than they had given up per game over the past month as they were playing themselves back into contention.
Later in the opening stanza, Randy Gregory also played a part in helping the Cowboys take control of the game and regain it's hold on the division. His acrobatic deflection and interception returned for another touchdown capped an early stretch where Dallas went ahead and never looked back. It was his first day back in the lineup after spending seven weeks on the injured list.
The Football Team looked dazed and confused after the Gregory play and needed pro football's version of a standing eight count to recover. They trailed by margins of Dallas led 24-0 and 27-8 before Kyle Allen replaced Taylor Heinicke and led them on a 73-yard touchdown drive to give them hope Cole Holcomb intercepted Dak Prescott and ran it back for a pick-6. Washington's comeback bid came to an end when Allen fumbled with 2:24 remaining.
Washington's season ending tour around the NFC meets Philadelphia next weekend. Resilience is in long supply, which is something that this team continues to display each week and will be the impetus for what carries them through the gauntlet of division foes during the stretch of Russian roulette games they play to end the season.
However, it will take more than just the ability to overcome the conventional adversity that all teams face when trying to win a division or earn a spot in the playoffs. Washington is running out of quality bodies to replace the ones who continue falling.
