Ole Miss grad returns to teach sports production class
Posted on: September 25th, 2013	by
Terry Ewert is a 1973 graduate from the University of Mississippi — one who has had a very successful career in media production over the past 40 years. The Emmy Award-winning producer is currently back in Oxford teaching a five-week sports television production class.
Under his direction, journalism students have partnered with Ole Miss Athletics for the first time, to produce live coverage of the women's volleyball match against Arkansas. Ewert has also been working with Dr. Bradley Schultz, a long-time broadcast journalism professor at the school.
Senior Morgan White is a student in the class.
"Now, I feel like I have a better foundation if I do feel like I want to go into production or even on air. Mr. Ewert has been amazing and I've learned a lot. I learned more than I expected in these 5 weeks and I'm going to use it in the future, " said White.
The live webcast of the game will be streamed on RebelVision at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 27.
Ewert also sat down with graduate student Brandon Rook to answer a few questions about Ole Miss and his career.
Rook: What was your favorite thing to do as an undergraduate at Ole Miss? what was your favorite memory?
Ewert: You know I had a lot of them, I was in a fraternity and certainly that was a lot of fun. It was bizarre for me coming out of high school and then coming to a university. I joined a fraternity and I have 120 or so automatic friends. Some are friends, some are not friends, but they're the kind of people that look out for you and that's just something that I wasn't used to.
When I came in, it was Archie Manning's junior year, it was his phenomenal year! I think all of us in the class that came in were all caught up with the great football and national attention that we were getting with Archie that football season. I think the fraternity, working at the sorority house and certainly my classwork were my best memories. Oh yeah, and the football season my freshman year.
Rook: So, how did you end up at Ole Miss?
Ewert: When I was in high school looking for a place to go to college, I had been appointed to the U.S. Air Force Academy. My father had arranged that appointment and I wasn't sure at the point that I wanted to be a career officer in the military. I was always a service brat; we moved from place to place; my father was in the Air Force.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to make the military my career so I promised him that if I got a scholarship to Ole Miss that I would take ROTC. Indeed I did get a scholarship and I ended up at Ole Miss and took ROTC at least for the first year (laughs).
Rook: As an alumnus of the University of Mississippi, what kind of advice would you give to a soon-to-be graduate from the university?
Ewert: Well I think you should explore were you want to be, I think this school of journalism has a very good reputation and I think the best thing to do is choose your steps wisely and reach out to every different media outlet, newspaper or whatever direction you want to go in.
Try to find your niche because I know it's out there and if you really want to stay in the world of journalism, I think the opportunities are out there for people who really strive and want to get noticed or hired.
Rook: So, how often do you come back and visit the University of Mississippi?
Ewert: Not very often. Unfortunately, I travel a lot on my job. I have my own production company where we have to do a certain amount of hours and certainly the Big Ten Network keeps me busy as well. I live in the New York area, so I don't get to visit down there often.
I always enjoy coming back and certainly there are great memories, I'm always impressed with how the university has grown a lot and how it's more diverse. I think that's the important step this university made years ago, and it continues to this day. I think it's getting to be as what Dr. Robert Khayat said, "A Great American Public University."
Rook: What advice would you give to Terry Ewert the freshman?
Ewert: Well, I probably would've taken more courses in broadcasting when I was here because that's the field that I went into. I really only took one and it happened to be a course in my field of study. I was a political science major, but I was also in speech and theater. I took Broadcasting 101, and I wish that I had pursued that another semester or even further. There were very rudimentary courses at the time, and eventually that whole system moved to where it is now, a school of journalism.
My very first job was in broadcasting, I was an on-air anchor and on-air sports director for KALB-TV in Alexandria, La., so I think I would have probably wanted to concentrate on more of the academic background in broadcasting, so that the learning curve wouldn't' t have been so high. I probably could have gotten a lot more out of Ole Miss at the time in the world of broadcasting.
Rook: With working in such a deadline-oriented and sometimes stressful business, how do you balance out your life when you're not working?
Ewert: Well, I have a wife and family; my children have always been an inspiration. They're grown now but that was always my recreation, if you will, is to spend time at home and watch my children grow up — ust being a dedicated family man.
Rook: Could you describe some of the biggest highlights of your career that were the most exciting to you?
Ewert: Well, I was a senior production executive for three Olympic games, two for NBC sports and one for the Atlanta Olympics. My former executive producer Don Ohlmeyer said, "If you ever wonder how good you are, do an Olympics," and I did three of them. The first one was the Olympics in 1988, and I did the broadcast side. In 1992 for Barcelona I did the cable side. Lastly for 1996 I did the overall; I actually worked for the Olympic Committee. I got to experience all sides of Olympic coverage and I think that was fulfilling, but I think working as an executive producer at CBS sports for six years and doing the Master's, NCAA basketball tournaments, SEC Championship games, doing a multitude of other things with the NFL and doing the PGA tour were really the highlights of my career.
Rook: What was your first job after graduating from Ole Miss in 1973?
Ewert: Well, it's funny because I didn't know what I wanted to do. I had worked the year before between my junior and senior year at WJTV in Jackson, Miss. I needed a summer job and they had cameramen positions open for those who were on vacation relief, so that is what I first did.
That was kind of the seed and I went back to the station after I graduated and they had a sister station in Louisiana and as fate would have it, they were looking for a sportscaster. I talked a lot of SEC football with them and they liked that; they auditioned me and I got hired. So my first job was being an on-air anchor and sports director at KALB.
Rook: Were there any risks that you ever had to take in your career?
Ewert: I think moving to New York. I was at the KALB station for a year, and I was also an actor while I was at Ole Miss. I was into speech and theater as well, so I did a lot of the plays. A group of theater friends were moving to New York and they asked me to come with them, so I quit the job at KALB and with $600 to my name, I moved to New York. That's all I had. I ended up on the streets of New york. I hated it while I was there because I was struggling and within three months I got a commercial and I thought it was easy, and for six months after that I didn't even get another callback.
That's when I decided to become an NBC page and from an NBC page I just worked my way up through NBC to NBC Sports; I was there for 18 years. The biggest risk I took was quitting everything and moving to New York City.
Rook: What did you learn at Ole Miss that has helped your career get to where it is today? Was there a specific professor or experience?
Ewert: I think the biggest thing most individuals learn in college is how to live with other people. You lived with your family your whole life through high school, and that's kind of a sheltered existence because there's someone that's always looking out for you. When you come to any university or college, you have to get along with other people and it's a great social experiment that you don't even know that you do. It's how to get along with other people and how to live with other people. You have all this freedom but you have to go to class; you have to get all your work done; you've got to get good grades and you've got to progress through the four years. So, the great social experiment of living with other people and being around other people was the greatest takeaway from this university because this university was very nurturing with the staff and the teachers.

Father, chef, urban farmer, vinegar vintner, and sustainable "sourcerer", Chef Jonathon Sawyer is a Cleveland devotee and James Beard award winning chef. Chef Sawyer's flagship restaurant is The Greenhouse Tavern and his culinary empire includes Trentina, Noodlecat, Sawyer's Street Frites, and more. Chef Sawyer's passion for his family, local food, and craft is fully reflected in his "Noodle Kids" cookbook focused on globally inspired recipes that the family can prepare together.
Chef Jonathon Sawyer's #8isEnoughQuestions interview is part of our Farm to Family Food Chain series with farmers, chefs, retailers, and more. Previous Farm to Family Food Chain interviews have included Chef Justin Warner, Molly Kroiz of Georges Mill Farm Artisan Cheese, "Cooking Priest" Father Leo Patalinghug, Chef Fabio Viviani, Chef Marc Murphy and Jesse Straight from Whiffletree Farm. For this 8isEnoughQuestions interview, each question was written and asked by one of our Full Van Fun family members and answered directly by Chef Jonathon Sawyer.
1. When cooking at home, do you find that you need to adjust the way you season compared to your restaurant?
No, I tend to season the same at home as I do in my restaurants. However, my daughter doesn't like spicy food, so if something is too spicy I'll tone down the spice to her liking.
2. What is your favorite dish for each season?
Tomato sandwiches for the summer and ramp pizza for the spring. hearty soups for the winter. anything cooked with foraged items for fall, like mushroom dishes.
3. What is the hardest part about being a farm-to-table restaurant in a big city?
There's not really a hard part of being farm-to-table in Cleveland. We have some really great farmers in the Cuyahoga valley. Citrus is more of a challenge, however, so we often replace the acid from citrus with the acid from our house made vinegar.
4. What variety of squash do you prefer and how do you like to prepare it?
2. Place pot of salted water on stove, bring to boil.
4. One squash begins to soften, add sage, nutmeg and cinnamon.
8. Add sage to pan, let crisp.. in the mean time drop garganelle in boiling pot of water, let cook until al dente.
11. Once garganelle is cooked, combine with sauce, let sauce and noodle get to know eachother over medium head for a minute.
12. Toss thoroughly and eat!
5. What tips would you give someone who wants to "Eat Local" but they may live in smaller/rural areas with less access to a variety of local options?
Jump online and search for local farms in your area.
6. Do you make pumpkin pie?
Currently making it with my daughter right now!
7. What age should you be when you first use a knife in the kitchen?
My son started when he was four. With proper training and technique, kids are quick learners.
8. Can you wipe my hands off?

I have to agree on tomato sandwiches guys. One elite summer food. Although a garden salad with marinated tofu I had at Spring eatery in Greenwich Village tonight may rival that dish. Solid! Always fun to get inside the mind of a chef. For an awesome recipe or 2.


Remember those days when you would say to yourself, "I wish I could travel all over the world!" or maybe "Ah, if only travelling was free you'd never see me again." Inquisitive?
What if I tell you can visit Times Square on New Year's Eve, gaze at a mesmerising star-lit night in Paris, or walk through a forest trail through the astounding Amazon and travel anywhere you want?
The prospect is exciting isn't it! Do you wonder how?
What if you were able to do it all on the same day, while you're working from home, sipping your favourite coffee brew and hanging out with your friends in your comfy PJs? Is this for Real? Virtual?
Folks, allow me to introduce you to the magical world of Virtual Reality, that allows you to relive your favourite moments, walk down the memory lane and fulfil your dreams and fantasies.
Companies like Google, Samsung, HTC and others have come up with their state-of the art VR devices, which make the immersive experience a dream come alive. With its diverse applications and uses, the possibilities it holds, are endless. And so, needless to say, Virtual Reality is the new kid on the block, and it looks like it's here to stay.
Simply put, virtual reality is a 360-degree, 3-D video that inserts you directly into the middle of the action. To watch VR, you need to wear a virtual reality headset—usually strap-on goggles that contain a VR-capable smartphone. The motion sensors in the phone allow you to look in all directions and feel like you're actually standing in the space. The sights and sounds of the moment surround you, adding to the illusion of being there. Through VR you can virtually travel to places around the world, from the Eiffel Tower in Paris, The Big Ben in London, or even the Colosseum in Rome, to even experience a movie as if you are a part of it, and immerse yourself in a video game without leaving your couch.
As the idea and innovation for Virtual Reality developed, research led its way into various outlets for the same. Virtual Reality can be consumed through various means of different VR headsets – ranging from the inexpensive Google Cardboard and Samsung Gear VR to higher end devices such as Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. Each has its own merit, and demerit but they all deliver the same end product, which is the immersive and ethereal experience that is Virtual Reality. Apart from the engaging headsets, which makes VR another experience altogether, VR can also be viewed through scrolling around on the videos on your personal computers, laptops, tablets and even mobiles. The alluring world of VR can literally be experienced from anywhere you want, be it at home or on the go.

It's election season . . . campaign signs dot the Irvine landscape.
As I drove to lunch with co-workers, one of them pointed out a sign for Ira Glasky, who's running for school board or city council or something.
"He's probably trying to cash in on the name recognition of Ira Glass," he said.
"Who's Ira Glass?" I asked, and he told me but I've since forgotten. A person on the radio, I think.
If I were a campaign manager, I wouldn't be advising my clients to coattail on the popularity of people no one's heard of.
"Maybe he's trying to play into the popularity of Dashiell Hammett's 1930s crime novel The Glass Key," I suggested.
Another Irvine candidate, Lynn Schott, is in a local women's networking group that my wife belongs to. I offered her a free campaign slogan — "Lynn-sanity!" — but she's not using it.
Ira Glass hosts This American Life on NPR. I've heard of him and I don't even listen to NPR. Get with the program, Epps.
Then you will come to think of things in a wide sense, and taking the Void as the Way, you will see the Way as Void.

Q: Find diameter PR of circle given tangents PQ and RS with their intersection X on circumference Let $PQ$ and $RS$ be tangents at the extremities of the diameter $PR$ of a circle of radius $r$. If $PS$ and $RQ$ intersect at a point $X$ on the circumference of the circle then find $2r$ in terms of $PQ, RS$
My attempt is as follows:-

In right angle $\triangle PXR$
$$PX^2+RX^2=PR^2$$
$$4r^2=PX^2+RX^2\tag{1}$$
$$\triangle PXQ \sim \triangle SXR$$, hence
$$\dfrac{SX}{PX}=\dfrac{RX}{QX}=\dfrac{SR}{PQ}$$
$$\dfrac{PS}{PX}=\dfrac{SR+PQ}{PQ}$$
$$PX=\dfrac{PS\cdot PQ}{SR+PQ}\tag{2}$$
In the same way
$$RX=\dfrac{RQ\cdot RS}{SR+PQ}\tag{3}$$
Placing all this in equation $(1)$
$$4r^2(PQ+RS)^2=PS^2\cdot PQ^2+RQ^2\cdot RS^2\tag{4}$$
Now we have to eliminate $PS$ and $RQ$
$$PS^2=PR^2+RS^2\tag{5}$$
$$RQ^2=PQ^2+PR^2\tag{6}$$
Placing all this in equation $(4)$
$$4r^2(PQ+RS)^2=(PR^2+RS^2)PQ^2+(PR^2+PQ^2)RS^2$$
$$4r^2(PQ^2+RS^2+2PQ\cdot RS-PQ^2-RS^2)=2PQ^2RS^2$$
$$2r=\sqrt{PQ\cdot RS}$$
Now one can see that the solution got very long + it took me some time to think, am I missing some property here which can come handy?

A: It'd much be simpler if you could identify the relevant similar triangles.
Because of the shared arc PX and PQ || RS, we have ∠PRQ = ∠QPX = ∠PSR. Then, the right triangles PQR and PSR are simpler, which leads to
$$\frac{PR}{PQ}=\frac{SR}{PR}$$
and the result follows.

A: Let $\angle RPS=\theta.$ Then $\angle PRS=90^\circ-\theta$
In $\triangle RPS$ and $\triangle RPQ$
$\displaystyle \tan \theta = \frac{RS}{2r}$ and $\displaystyle \tan (90^\circ-\theta)=\cot \theta =\frac{PQ}{2r}$
So we have $$\tan \theta \cdot \cot \theta=1 =\frac{RS\cdot PQ}{(2r)^2}\Rightarrow 2r=\sqrt{PQ\cdot RS.}$$

Homeownership continues to play a prominent role in the lives of retirees, according to the Census Bureau. Data recorded in their American Housing Survey showed one third of homeowners 65 and up had a mortgage in 2009.
Households of those aged 65 and over make up the largest portion of homeowners in the United States. Approximately 81% of individuals in this age group are homeowners, compared to 64% of people between 35 and 44 and only 38% of people younger than 35.
Age has no bearing on a borrower's qualification for a mortgage. If an individual qualifies based on income and credit scores, age is not grounds for denial. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) prohibits discrimination based on age, race, gender and other characteristics.
In California, retirees prefer condos in urban areas. City living affords Boomers access to public transportation, community amenities and the nucleus of culture. Further, condos shift the constant property maintenance and yard work necessary for a detached single family residence (SFR) to the homeowners' association (HOA).
As this age group makes their transition into retirement, they will create new opportunities for multiple listing service (MLS) brokers and agents as well as builders of multifamily projects. They will influence sales volume both in the suburbs they leave (lower pricing) and the urban market they flood (higher pricing) from 2016 to 2035, peaking in influence around 2025.
Simultaneously, Generation Y (Gen Y) will be entering the work force peaking in household formation around 2020 and looking for similar urban residence. These two demographics will spark a Great Confluence in demand for urban housing. Brokers and agents will do well to prepare accordingly. [For more information regarding Gen Y, see the October 2010 first tuesday article, The demographics forging California's real estate market: a study of forthcoming trends and opportunities – Part I and Part II.
How did you confuse "homeownership" with DEBT ownership? Most of us realize that DEBT is NOT Wealth. A mortgage can destroy wealth if its annual interest cost is greater or equal to the annual market appreciation of a house. Add to that the annual costs of maintenance, property taxes and fire, flood and earthquake insurance and you have a recipe for financial disaster. Blowing real estate bubbles and leaving before the first loud "pop" can lead to prosperity for the wise and economic Armageddon for the rest. You can be a REAL homeowner without having a mortgage by using YOUR OWN money instead of the governments. I see many boomers in the poor house or on the way to the poor house if they have a mortgage less than 20 years old. Who had the most benefit? Mortgage brokers and commissioned sales agents. All the rest is "fantasyland" wishful thinking. A house is not an asset an ANY price if there is NO ONE willing or qualified to buy it!


They need to assist law enforcement teams.
Our reputation is growing fast because of the success of our canines and their handlers. We understand what the demand will be when they return to work and that is why we offer only police canines for sale that are strong dogs with superior drive. We have a trusted relationship with selected sellers in Europe which allows me to select and offer canines that are just as superior then any other kennel. Our canines we have provided work for local police agencies up to the federal level to include TSA, FBI, overseas government security contractors and US Military Special Operations.
Learn how we select only the best breeds suited for the job.
The canine selection process we use is strict and specific to what we would want to handle ourselves on the road. We know not every dog will work and thats why we spend a great deal of time selecting only quality dogs. Canines that are selected will be tested in many environments such as: dark rooms, slick floors, large crowds, high level stair casings. With our selected police canines for sale we are very confident that we will meet or exceed any departments needs. There is always police dogs in training that are for sale for agencies wanting to select new dogs.

We also sell a number of sporting breeds such as labs, border collies and more. Each of our sporting breeds has their own special trait they can bring to your police work.
Kind words from some of the various organizations Tri-State Canine Services has worked with.
After stumbling in the beginning with another trainer, Tri-State Canine Services did an evaluation of K9 Faith and myself, Dave was able to help us to become a great team. Tri-State Canine Service provides a very professional service. I still ask Dave for pointers, guidance, and advice as K9 Faith and I try to better ourselves as a team. I am happy to call Dave and Shelly my mentors and great friends!
Tri-State K9 has supplied Weirton Police(WV) with 4 dual and 1 single purpose K9's. These teams have been certified through OPOTA and WVPCA. The teams always pass with ease and excel in scenario based training. We will continue to use Tri-State K9 because of their excellent customer service, K9s, and training.
The San Juan Police Department in Puerto Rico is very satisfied with the work of Tri-State Canine Services. Our canine unit was just recently created and their assistance in training our staff has been extremely vital in properly managing our operations. He has established a feeling of brotherhood, despite our location and language barriers. His commitment to our K9 unit has gone beyond just selling good dogs.
I went to Tri-State Canine for a new Explosive/Patrol K9. I left with an awesome new partner (Kai) and new friends for life (Dave and Shelly). They take care of you like family while you are there and offer so much more than solid K9 training.
...Your crates rock. Every day I come home to a calm and secure dog. With the crate, training, and exercise, Rolph has become a totally different dog.
Thanks for your interest in Tri-State Canine Services. If you'd like some more information on our services, give us a call at 330.501.3816 or fill out the form and we'll be in touch.


It is generally seen that these days, students approach tuition teachers after the school hours. The result is that the student is overburdened by two Masters. If there is no coordination between the school teacher and the tuition teacher, he gets confused also.
In order to check these difficulties faced by the students and their parents, Handiaya School is made Day Boarding from 1st to 10th classes. Day Boarding is compulsory for these classes and is optional for Nursery and Kindergarten Classes. However, it is not a conventional day boarding school where homework is done after the school hours. In this school, time table is so designed so that all the activities namely, teaching of Syllabus books, Co-curricular activities such as Painting, Drawing, Music, Computers, Games and Sports are carried on from morning till evening which not only help students to be stress free but also prove to be fun.

Other men saw, and tried to wheel away from the green trap. Those who managed to do so in time were broadsided by
the next wave of men—some of whom were, incredibly, still yipping or bellowing full-throated battle cries. More horses and riders were driven into the green shimmer, which accepted them eagerly. Latigo, standing stunned and bleeding like a man in the middle of a stampede (which was exactly what he was), saw the soldier to whom he had given his gun. This fellow, who had obeyed Latigo's order and shot one of his
in order to awaken the rest of them, threw himself from his saddle, howling, and crawled back from the edge of the green stuff even as his horse plunged in. He tried to get to his feet, saw two riders bearing down on him, and clapped his hands across his face. A moment later he was ridden down.
The shrieks of the wounded and dying echoed in the smoky canyon, but Latigo hardly heard them. What he heard mostly was that buzzing, a sound that was almost a voice. Inviting him to jump in. To end it here. Why not? It was over, wasn't it? All over.
He struggled away instead, and was now able to make some headway; the stream of riders packing its way into the canyon was easing. Some of the riders fifty or sixty yards back from the jog had even been able to turn their horses. But these were ghostly and confused in the thickening smoke.
The cunning bastards have set the brush on fire behind us. Gods of heaven, gods of earth, I think we're trapped in here.
He could give no commands—every time he drew in breath to try, he coughed it wordlessly back out again—but he was able to grab a passing rider who looked all of seventeen and yank him out of his saddle. The boy went down headfirst and smashed his brow open on a jutting chunk of rock. Latigo was mounted in his place before the kid's feet had stopped twitching.
He jerked the horse's head around and spurred for the front of the canyon, but the smoke thickened to a choking white cloud before he got more than twenty yards. The wind was driving it this way. Latigo could make out—barely—the shifting orange glare of the burning brush at the desert end.
He wheeled his new horse back the way it had come. More horses loomed out of the fog. Latigo crashed into one of them and was thrown for the second time in five minutes. He landed on his knees, scrambled to his feet, and staggered back downwind, coughing and retching, eyes red and streaming.
It was a little better beyond the canyon's northward jog, but wouldn't be for much longer. The edge of the thinny was a tangle of milling horses, many with broken legs, and crawling, shrieking men. Latigo saw several hats floating on the greenish surface of the whining organism that filled the back of the canyon; he saw boots; he saw wristlets; he saw neckerchiefs; he saw the bugle-boy's dented instrument, still trailing its frayed strap.
Come in,
the green shimmer invited, and Latigo found its buzz strangely attractive . . . intimate, almost.
Come in and visit, squat and hunker, be at rest, be at peace, be at one.
Latigo raised his gun, meaning to shoot it. He didn't believe it could be killed, but he would remember the face of his father and go down shooting, all the same.
Except he didn't. The gun dropped from his relaxing fingers and he walked forward—others around him were now doing the same—into the thinny. The buzzing rose and rose, filling his ears until there was nothing else.
Nothing else at all.
They saw it all from the notch, where Roland and his friends had stopped in a strung-out line about twenty feet below the top. They saw the screaming confusion, the panicky milling, the men who were trampled, the men and horses that were driven into the thinny . . . and the men who, at the end, walked willingly into it.
Cuthbert was closest to the top of the canyon's wall, then Alain, then Roland, standing on a six-inch shelf of rock and holding an outcrop just above him. From their vantage-point they could see what the men struggling in their smoky hell below them could not: that the thinny was growing, reaching out, crawling eagerly toward them like an incoming tide.
Roland, his battle-lust slaked, did not want to watch what was happening below, but he couldn't turn away. The whine of the thinny—cowardly and triumphant at the same time, happy and sad at the same time, lost and found at the same time—held him like sweet, sticky ropes. He hung where he was, hypnotized, as did his friends above him, even when the smoke began to rise, and its pungent tang made him cough dryly.
Men shrieked their lives away in the thickening smoke below. They struggled in it like phantoms. They faded as the fug thickened, climbing the canyon walls like water. Horses whinnied desperately from beneath that acrid white death. The wind swirled its surface in prankish whirlpools. The thinny buzzed, and above where it lay, the surface of the smoke was stained a mystic shade of palest green.
Then, at long last, John Farson's men screamed no more.
We killed them,
Roland thought with a kind of sick and fascinated horror. Then:
No, not we.
I. I
killed them
How long he might have stayed there Roland didn't know—perhaps until the rising smoke engulfed him as well, but then Cuthbert, who had begun to climb again, called down three words from above him; called down in a tone of surprise and dismay.
"Roland!
The moon!
Roland looked up, startled, and saw that the sky had darkened to a velvety purple. His friend was outlined against it and looking east, his face stained fever-orange with the light of the rising moon.
Yes, orange,
the thinny buzzed inside his head.
inside his head.
Orange as 'twas when it rose on the night you came out here to see me and count me. Orange like a fire. Orange like a bonfire.
How can it be almost dark?
he cried inside himself, but he knew—yes, he knew very well. Time had slipped back together, that was all, like layers of ground embracing once more after the argument of an earthquake.
Twilight had come.
had come.
Terror struck Roland like a closed fist aimed at the heart, making him jerk backward on the small ledge he'd found. He groped for the horn-shaped outcrop above him, but that act of rebalancing was far away; most of him was inside the pink storm again, before he had been snatched away and shown half the cosmos. Perhaps the wizard's glass had only shown him what stood worlds far away in order to keep from showing him what might soon befall so close to home.
I'd turn around if I thought her life was in any real danger,
he had said.
In a second.
And if the ball knew that? If it couldn't lie, might it not misdirect? Might it not take him away and show him a dark
land, a darker tower? And it had shown him something else, something that recurred to him only now: a scrawny man in farmer's overalls who had said . . . what? Not quite what he'd thought, not what he had been used to hearing all his life; not
Life for you and life for your crop,
"Death," he whispered to the stones surrounding him. "Death for you, life for my crop.
Charyou tree.
That's what he said,
Come, Reap."
Orange, gunslinger,
a cracked old voice laughed inside his head. The voice of the Cöos.
The color of bonfires.
Charyou tree, fin de año,
these are the old ways of which only the stuffy-guys with their red hands remain . . . until tonight. Tonight the old ways are refreshed, as the old ways must be, from time to time.
you damned babby,
charyou tree:
tonight you pay for my sweet Ermot. Tonight you pay for all. Come, Reap.
"Climb!" he screamed, reaching up and slapping Alain's behind. "Climb, climb! For your father's sake,
"Roland, what—?" Alain's voice was dazed, but he did begin to climb, going from handhold to handhold and rattling small pebbles down into Roland's upturned face. Squinting against their fall, Roland reached and swatted Al's bottom again, driving him like a horse.
Climb,
gods damn you!" he cried. "It mayn't be too late, even now!"
But he knew better. Demon Moon had risen, he had seen its orange light shining on Cuthbert's face like delirium, and he knew better. In his head the lunatic buzz of the thinny, that rotting sore eating through the flesh of reality, joined with the lunatic laughter of the witch, and he knew better.
Death for you, life for the crop.
Oh, Susan—
Nothing was clear to Susan until she saw the man with the long red hair and the straw hat which did not quite obscure his lamb-slaughterer's eyes; the man with the cornshucks in his hands. He was the first, just a farmer (she had glimpsed him in the Lower Market, she thought; had even nodded to him, as countryfolk do, and he back to her), standing by himself not far from the place where Silk Ranch Road and the Great Road
intersected, standing in the light of the rising moon. Until they came upon him, nothing was clear; after he hurled his bundle of cornshucks at her as she passed, standing in the slowly rolling cart with her hands bound in front of her and her head lowered and a rope around her neck, everything was clear.
he called, almost sweetly uttering words of the Old People she hadn't heard since her childhood, words that meant "Come, Reap" . . . and something else, as well. Something hidden, something secret, something to do with that root word,
char,
that word which meant only death. As the dried shucks fluttered around her boots, she understood the secret very well; understood also that there would be no baby for her, no wedding for her in the fairy-distant land of Gilead, no hall in which she and Roland would be joined and then saluted beneath the electric lights, no husband, no more nights of sweet love; all that was over. The world had moved on and all that was over, done before fairly begun.
She knew that she had been put in the back of the cart,
in the back of the cart, and that the surviving Coffin Hunter had looped a noose around her neck. "Don't try to sit," he had said, sounding almost apologetic. "I have no desire to choke you, girly. If the wagon bumps and you fall, I'll try to keep the knot loose, but if you try to sit, I'll have to give you a pinching.
orders." He nodded to Rhea, who sat erect on the seat of the cart, the reins in her warped hands. "
in charge now."
And so she had been; so, as they neared town, she still was. Whatever the possession of her glam had done to her body, whatever the loss of it had done to her mind, it had not broken her power; that seemed to have increased, if anything, as if she'd found some other source from which she could feed, at least for awhile. Men who could have broken her over one knee like a stick of kindling followed her commands as unquestioningly as children.
There were more and more men as that Reaping afternoon wound its shallow course to night: half a dozen ahead of the cart, riding with Rimer and the man with the cocked eye, a full dozen riding behind it with Reynolds, the rope leading to her neck wound around his tattooed hand, at their head. She didn't know who these men were, or how they had been summoned.
Rhea had taken this rapidly increasing party north a little farther, then turned southwest on the old Silk Ranch Road, which wound back toward town. On the eastern edge of Hambry, it rejoined the Great Road. Even in her dazed state, Susan had realized the harridan was moving slowly, measuring the descent of the sun as they went, not clucking at the pony to hurry but actually reining it in, at least until afternoon's gold had gone. When they passed the farmer, thin-faced and alone, a good man, no doubt, with a freehold farm he worked hard from first gleam to last glow and a family he loved (but oh, there were those lamb-slaughterer eyes below the brim of his battered hat), she understood this leisurely course of travel, too. Rhea had been waiting for the moon.
With no gods to pray to, Susan prayed to her father.
Da? If thee's there, help me to be strong as I can be, and help me hold to him, to the memory of him. Help me to hold to myself as well. Not for rescue, not for salvation, but just so as not to give them the satisfaction of seeing my pain and my fear. And him, help him as well . . .
"Help keep him safe," she whispered. "Keep my love safe; take my love safe to where he goes, give him joy in who he sees, and make him a cause of joy in those who see him."
"Praying, dearie?" the old woman asked without turning on the seat. Her croaking voice oozed false compassion. "Aye, ye'd do well t'make things right with the Powers while ye still can—before the spit's burned right out of yer throat!" She threw back her head and cackled, the straggling remains of her broomstraw hair flying out orange in the light of the bloated moon.
Their horses, led by Rusher, had come to the sound of Roland's dismayed shout. They stood not far away, their manes rippling in the wind, shaking their heads and whinnying their displeasure whenever the wind dropped enough for them to get a whiff of the thick white smoke rising from the canyon.
Roland paid no attention to the horses or the smoke. His eyes were fixed on the drawstring sack slung over Alain's shoulder. The ball inside had come alive again; in the growing dark, the bag seemed to pulse like some weird pink firefly. He held out his hands for it.
"Give it to me!"
"Roland, I don't know if—"
"Give it to me, damn your face!"
Alain looked at Cuthbert, who nodded . . . then lifted his hands skyward in a weary, distracted gesture.
Roland tore the bag away before Alain could do more than begin to shrug it off his shoulder. The gunslinger dipped into it and pulled the glass out. It was glowing fiercely, a pink Demon Moon instead of an orange one.
Behind and below them, the nagging whine of the thinny rose and fell, rose and fell.
"Don't look directly into that thing," Cuthbert muttered to Alain. "Don't, for your father's sake."

Dominic Fike "Chicken Tenders" | Track Review
For an artist who has yet to release a debut album, Dominic Fike sure knows how to keep himself busy. In 2018, Fike released his first project the Don't Forget About Me, Demos EP which spawned the hit "Three Nights". Since then, he's managed to create magic with the likes of Kevin Abstract and Brockhampton, as well as making an guest appearance on Omar Apollo's, Kenny Beats produced "Hit Me Up" and Halsey's album Manic on the track "Dominic's Interlude". Most recently, he made a cameo in the music video for Anderson .Paak's new single "Lockdown".
But now, Fike is ready to finally breakthrough and it all starts with the new single "Chicken Tenders". The single takes a left-turn from the usual pop number you'd expect, while Fike puts his own spin to it from avoiding it to be a total bubblegum pop song. Approaching his debut with a indie-pop sound is what fans should've been accustomed to expect. "Chicken Tenders" follows the formula of "3 Nights" but forgets the special ingredient — being a ear worm.
What made "3 Nights" captivate listeners was the classic jingle-like ear worm sound that made fans want more. Following it with his feature on Kevin Abstract's single "Peach" proved there was awareness in the young singer who knew how to curate a hit. Instead of falling into redundancy, Fike manages to go tender of a track that stirs into the indie route.
Still, there's this layered fascination within the track. It's nostalgic to indie-pop numbers from the late 2000s and into the early 2010s. Fusing sounds from that timeline, Dominic Fike's final reveal is something that The 1975 had saved in the drafts...which ends up working as it's a new stylistic direction for the star.

Six Years Later, People Are Moving Back to Fukushima
But hunting radioactive wild boar is now a civic duty.
Six years ago, tragedy struck Japan when the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant was hit by a tsunami wave, leading to three nuclear meltdowns. But now, several hundred former residents of the destructive "hot zone" are planning to return to the area.
Namie, a small town that once had a population of around 18,000, is the closest area that has been cleared for the return of residents since the disaster of March 11, 2011. Naime is only two and a half miles from the Daiichi plant, but on February 28, 2017, the former town hall showed a reading of only 0.07 microSieverts per hour, putting it in line with areas in Japan unaffected by the disaster. The government has been lifting evacuation orders on towns that fall below 20 milliSieverts per year, which gives Namie the greenlight.

However, that doesn't make it an easy sell. Over half of its former residents have said in a poll last September that they would not want to move back while only 18 percent showed interest. More than three-fourths of all people under the age of 29 expressed no interest in moving back, and nobody's blaming them. Only some parts of the town will open, radiation contamination has still left areas off limits. "Young people will not go back," said Yasuo Fujita, a former Namie resident who runs a restaurant in Tokyo, to Reuters. "There will neither be jobs nor education for children."
But those who do return are finding jobs they never imagined. Shoichiro Sakamoto, 69, describes to Reuters his new life as the head of a 13-man team dedicated to hunting radioactive wild boar with traps and air guns.

There are also plans for more traditional industry: a lumber mill has restarted and a hospital now has an eight-person staff. There are plans to open a joint elementary and high school to attract families, though only twenty students are expected initially, and also vague plans to recruit tech and robotics industries to the area. It will take another five years, scientists say, until more of the town will be habitable.
Of course, Naime isn't the only site of a former nuclear disaster hoping to rebuild. Future plans hope to turn Chernobyl into a solar energy farm, 30 years after its own reactor meltdown. Hopefully Naime won't have a similar wait.

After sitting (and sleeping) overnight at the dock in Whittier we disembarked the ship early this morning and boarded a bus to the Denali Princess Lodge at the Denali State Park. To leave Whittier we had to pass through a large tunnel. This is a one lane tunnel that is shared by both trains and motor vehicles.
After clearing the tunnel it was a very scenic drive between Whittier and Anchorage. Once we reached Anchorage the driver took a quick tour through downtown, where he pointed out several places of interest; this will come in handy when we visit a few days from today. The bus also stopped at the Alaska Veterans Memorial so everyone could stretch their legs.
Once we arrived at the lodge and put our stuff into our room, we met Frank and Tom for dinner at our first land-based excursion: the Music of Denali Dinner Theater. This turned out to be a major bust; a horrible dinner and badly sung show tunes. We skipped out partway through and got some ice cream at the small strip shopping center across from the lodge.
A little after midnight (probably close to 1 AM) I looked out the window to see how bright it was. It was nearly as bright out as when we first arrived at the lodge. No wonder the room had heavy curtains and blinds.

In a study conducted by The Journal of Healthcare Information Management, it was discovered that 86 percent of mistakes made in the healthcare industry are administrative. These small administrative mistakes, whether it's the misspelling of a name or a misrecorded number, can have a major effect when they go unnoticed. With the fast-paced and, at times, understaffed atmosphere of the medical field, it's no wonder why these mistakes happen. In most cases, mistakes can be eliminated by fact-checking, communicating with the involved parties and conducting peer reviews.
This brings us to the medical review process, which involves taking time to evaluate the findings in a medical case. Physicians conduct a peer review during case evaluations, which means professionally reviewing the treating provider's work or proposed work to determine an appeal on the case. A reviewer's assignment is to consider evidence-based medical guidelines, health plan language, and state and federal regulations, as well as the specific clinical situation of the patient to determine whether or not the care given or proposed by the provider was appropriate and medically necessary.
Many insurance providers outsource their peer review process to independent review organizations (IROs). These cases must be reviewed by board-certified physicians of the same or similar specialty and certifications of the original treating provider. This evidence-based approach, performed by IROs, can uncover unnecessary treatment while enhancing the quality and effectiveness of patient care.
IROs use physicians with varying backgrounds and disciplines, bringing a variety of knowledge to the table. Matching the most applicable board-certified physicians to the right cases ensures peer reviews are managed with the highest level of knowledge and expertise while using widely-accepted criteria. Peer reviews done by a reputable, certified and nationally-accredited IRO gives clients access to a reviewer network comprised of practicing physicians across a wide range of specialties and subspecialties.
Along with this network of physicians, IROs conduct peer-to-peer calls to evaluate medical cases. With peer-to-peer calls, a reviewing physician communicates with the original providing physician to clarify findings and gain a better understanding of a case. When the reviewer has all the proper details and knowledge, he or she will reach the most-informed decision.
In addition to being able to strategically match the right physician to the right peer review, IROs are able to adhere to strict compliance requirements, deliver quick turnaround times, and offer transparency. For both payers and providers, IROs ensure only services which meet current clinical guidelines, adhere to state and federal regulations, and are deemed to be appropriate and medically necessary.
Our ability to expertly match the right physician to review the right medical case is integrated with our AMR Client Portal. A flexible and intuitive platform that utilizes the most up-to-date and evidence-based medical research and guidelines, it enables a seamless review process through fully-customized templates, easy trackability of in-process reviews and a powerful search function for data analysis. Customizable to your workflows and needs, the platform is one of the most secure in the industry.

An interesting paper on Cuba's Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) was presented at the 2013 meetings of the Association for the Study of the Cuban Economy by Roberto M. Gonzalez, a graduate student in Economics at the University of North Carolina. The paper is especially interesting as it focuses on one important indicator of the quality of the health system, human development and socio-economic development which ostensibly has been a major achievement for Cuba. Cuba's exceedingly low Infant Mortality Rate has been a major "logro" of the Revolution and a source o pride since the early 1960s.
The essence of his argument is that Late Fetal Deaths (LFDs) or deaths of fetuses weighing at least 500 grams are abnormally high in Cuba compared to other countries while Early Neonatal Deaths (ENDs) or deaths occurring in the first week of life are abnormally low. In the chart below, Cuba's high LFD in orange and its low END in green can quickly be seen as outliers for the countries of Europe.
While perhaps further work is needed to analyze this LFD-END puzzle, Gonzalez work has certainly raised serious questions about Cuba's long-vaunted Infant Mortality Rate.

Q: F11 Key (Debug Mode) not working in Visual Studio 2010? In my Visual Studio 2010, F11 Key s not working.
I tried Step Into Property/Function (F11) doesn't work as expected But it didn't help me.
The same works it when I go to Debug menu and click on Step Into.
Can you help me out? It has become a very big problem for me!

A: Check if you have function lock key -- 'F Lock' key on keyboard. If so then try pressing it once and then press F11 for debuging.
Alternatively you can verify the working of F11 outside Visual Studio using it on IE or other windows and keying F11, this should maximize the window.

A: Try to go to Tools>Options and there to Environment>Keyboard. Type into the text field with the title "Show commands containing:" the term "StepInto". This filters the list below. Select "Debug.StepInto". Check if F11 is registered for "Global". If not do so.
If you have resharper installed go to the resharper options, select Visual Studio Integration and deselect the resharper shortcuts. Id you have anything else overriding the shortcuts try their option/keyboard/shortcut menues.
Play around with those options a little if it doesn't work immediately before you get back here.
Hope that helps.

A: Check if F11 key is working, did happen to me today that the F11 is faulty in key board


'We actually didn't think it was going to take off like this,' says pot vendor.
An unlicensed marijuana dispensary in Vancouver is struggling to keep up with sales after taking advantage of what it terms a "legal grey area" by selling a Christmas advent calendar full of medicinal pot and marijuana edibles.
So far, Coast to Coast Medicinals says it's sold more than 125 of the calendars for between $200 and $230 each. The calendars can be customized with products that can be smoked or eaten, from gummy bears to chocolate bars — and even products safe for pets.
"It's gone kind of crazy. We actually didn't think it was going to take off like this," said owner Lorilee Fedler, who told CBC her business is not licensed.

Whistleblowing judge told she was not an MoJ employee
A district judge who went public with her concerns about the justice system has been told she cannot be afforded protections as a whistleblower.
The Employment Appeal Tribunal this week ruled that Claire Gilham (pictured) was an office-holder and did not work under a contract of employment with the Ministry of Justice.
Gilham says she suffered a nervous breakdown brought on by overwork and bullying following her transfer to Warrington court in 2009.
Her appeal attempted to show she was a worker within the meaning of the 1996 Employment Rights Act and could rely on the whistleblowing provisions in the legislation.
But The Honourable Mrs Justice Simler DBE, sitting in the tribunal, said an employment judge was right to rule that Gilham did not work under any contract.
In Gilham v Ministry of Justice, Simler said the language of letters exchanged between Gilham and the lord chancellor when she made the bench in 2006 was that of office rather than contract.
The duties, functions and authority of a district judge were defined by statute, she said, and did not derive from any private agreement made between Gilham and the ministry.
Judge Claire Gilham
Source: Linda Nylind
The tribunal judge found key features of the relationship between Gilham and the MoJ prevented it being regarded as contractual: these included the lord chief justice – not the MoJ – being responsible for maintaining the welfare, training and guidance of the judiciary, and the MoJ being powerless to remove a district judge unless the lord chief justice wishes to do so.
Simler said there was no express employment contract between Gilham and the MoJ, and she saw no public policy requirement for a contract to be implied in this case.
She added that Gilham had other means available to enforce her rights, including the ability to pursue a grievance and statutory protection against removal from office.
Having cited her qualified right to freedom of expression under the European Convention on Human Rights, Simler said Gilham was attempting to add an additional category of 'worker', for someone who is not required to have a contractual relationship but is nevertheless entitled to protection for whistleblowing.
The tribunal judge ruled Gilham had sufficient means to raise a grievance of complaint, and in many respects was to a greater degree than other workers.
'I am satisfied that there are adequate safeguards in place to protect freedom of speech,' said Simler, adding that any further extension of the meaning of worker was a question for parliament.

Election 2016: The Candidates' Foreign Policy
By Cecily Hilleary
Crew members prepare the stage for Thursday's Fox Business News Republican Presidential Debate at the North Charleston Coliseum in North Charleston, South Carolina, Jan. 13, 2016.
WASHINGTON - In less than one year, a new president will be sworn into office and face a number of serious foreign policy challenges. Here is how the candidates stand on some of the issues of deep strategic interest to Washington.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks about her counterterrorism strategy during a speech at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Dec. 15, 2015.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
Diplomacy is not the pursuit of perfection — it is the balancing of risk. - Brookings Institution, Washington, D.C., Sept. 9, 2015.
IS/Mideast. Clinton supports a three-pronged strategy against IS: expanding the coalition airstrikes and upping support of local Arab and Kurdish forces; cutting off the global terror "pipeline" of funds, arms and fighters; and disrupting online radicalization and recruitment. She has called for a no-fly zone in Syria, but opposes any U.S. troop deployment.
Clinton supports a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict. She has also called for increased U.S. military and intelligence support to Israel as a vital partner against extremism and Iranian expansion.
Iran: Clinton says America's greatest security threat is nuclear proliferation and the possibility of nuclear material falling into rogue hands. She supports the Iran deal, but stresses vigilance and enforcement as part of a greater strategy to contain Iran. She has called for imposing new sanctions on Tehran for its ballistic missile program and opposes normalizing relations.
China/Asia: Clinton supported the U.S. strategic "pivot to Asia" as part of an effort to confront North Korea and support allies in territorial disputes with China in the South China Sea and near Japan. She opposes the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), a free-trade deal with 12 Pacific Rim economies that aims to crack down on China's trade policies. She has historically taken a tough stance toward China on cyberspace and climate change. Reacting to North Korea's claim that it tested a hydrogen bomb, Clinton called it "blackmail" and called on China block illicit trade across its border with North Korea.
Russia: Clinton would work with EU allies to develop tougher sanctions on Russia and reduce EU reliance on Russian oil. In the January Democratic debate, she suggested she was open to resetting relations with Moscow, depending on the terms. She says she believes that Russia, if not checked, would expand beyond Crimea. She has also defended the "reset with Russia" during President Barack Obama's first term, saying it achieved, among other things, a new bilateral treaty to reduce nuclear weapons, permission to resupply U.S. troops in Afghanistan by traveling across Russia and Russia's agreement to impose sanctions in Iran. She supported NATO expansion and argued in her 2014 book Hard Choices that curtailing Russian aggression would have been more difficult without NATO allies in Eastern and Central Europe.
Democratic presidential candidate, former Maryland
Democratic presidential candidate, former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley makes a point during the Brown & Black Forum in Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 11, 2016.
Former Gov. Martin O'Malley (Maryland)
We must put our national interest first, we must put America first. – campaign announcement speech, Baltimore, Maryland, May 30, 2015.
IS/Mideast: O'Malley's approach to foreign threats is to strengthen the U.S. economy and secure American cyberspace first, and to create a new foreign policy based on engagement and collaboration. He has called for strengthening U.S. intelligence gathering. He opposes U.S. boots on the ground against ISIS, but says the U.S. should give its regional allies the resources they need to defeat the group. He has called for amplifying local voices to reveal IS as "murderous thugs." He opposes a no-fly zone in Syria because it could lead to an escalation with Russia. He supports a two-state solution to the Mideast crisis.
Iran: O'Malley has said a nuclear Iran, along with IS and climate change, are the greatest threats facing the U.S. He supported the Iran nuclear deal and would reimpose "a full array of sanctions" for any violations.
China/Asia: O'Malley has called for a "rethink" of our relationships with China and Russia, who he says are "neither trusted allies" or "total adversaries." He opposes the TPP deal as "a race to the bottom" for American workers that will have little impact on China. He has said there are other ways to engage with "like-minded nations" - apart from fast-track trade deals to combat common enemies.
Russia: O'Malley has said very little about Russia, other than that he views it, like China, as neither an ally nor an enemy.
U.S. Military/NATO: "NATO has served us well," O'Malley said in October. But he advocates forming other alliances, in Africa and the South China Sea, to help manage international crisis.
FILE - Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sa
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders speaks at a campaign event in Fort Dodge, Iowa, Jan. 19, 2016.
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (Vermont) –
I think in terms of our priorities in the region, our first priority must be the destruction of ISIS. Our second priority must be getting rid of Assad, through some political settlement, working with Iran, working with Russia. – fourth Democratic debate, Jan. 17, 2016.
IS/Mideast: Sanders believes adversaries Saudi Arabia and Iran should lead the fight against IS both from the air and on the ground, and has criticized Gulf Arab allies for not having done enough. He has called for a new NATO, that includes the current members, as well as Russia and Arab League nations to confront IS as a united front. He calls for a negotiated end to Syria's civil war and would support rebels trying to remove Bashar al-Assad from power, but says he is ready to take America into war if necessary. Sanders backs a two-state solution to the Middle East crisis and has criticized both Israeli settlement expansion and Hamas rocket attacks on Israel..
Iran: Sanders, who views a nuclear Iran as a threat, supports the nuclear deal as a victory of diplomacy over "saber rattling." He has stated that the U.S. should "move aggressively" toward normalizing relations with Iran.
China/Asia: Sanders opposes trade deals with China, believing they benefit corporations but not the American worker - especially the TPP, which he says will outsource even more American jobs overseas, benefit Wall Street alone and be impossible to repeal. In the wake of North Korea's claimed hydrogen bomb test, Sanders called for China to apply more pressure on Pyongyang to abide by international conventions.
Russia: Sanders has called for working with allies to isolate Vladimir Putin politically and economically, enforcing sanctions and freezing Russian assets. He would also work with Russia to defeat IS.
Republican presidential, former Florida Gov. Jeb B
Republican presidential, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush speaks at the Republican Jewish Coalition Presidential Forum in Washington, Dec. 3, 2015.
Former Gov. Jeb Bush (Florida)
We are at war with radical Islamic terrorism…a struggle that will determine the fate of the free world. - addressing Citadel Military College, South Carolina, Nov. 18, 2015.
IS/Mideast: Bush's plan to defeat IS calls for the U.S. to lead an international coalition against it, establishing and enforcing no-fly zones and safe havens to harbor refugees. He has called for expanded airstrikes and using U.S. special operations forces to target terrorist networks. Bush would also boost U.S. support for Iraqi troops, embed with them and loosen engagement rules. Bush also supports directly arming Kurdish Peshmerga and build a new U.S. base in Iraq's Anbar Province. He would also work to secure U.S. borders and enhance national cybersecurity efforts.
Bush would undo Obama's defense cuts and rebuild the U.S. military, expand troop levels, bolster special operations forces and intelligence gathering, and replace outdated equipment. He advocates expanding the U.S. military presence abroad as a deterrent to enemies and says the U.S. must be prepared to use force against urgent threats.
Bush is a close friend of Israel and would work to repair U.S.-Israeli relations he says were mismanaged by the current administration. He considers Jerusalem as Israel's capital and would move the U.S. Embassy there from Tel Aviv.
Iran: Bush has called the Iran nuclear deal "dangerous, deeply flawed, and shortsighted" and, if elected, he might not repeal the agreement on "day one," but would reverse U.S.-Iran policy. He has said military force would be an option in enforcing Iran's compliance. He would also work to encourage civil opposition to the regime in Tehran.
Russia: Bush has said the U.S. should have provided greater support for Ukraine against Russian aggression and should consider invoking the collective defense clause of the NATO treaty - i.e.,"an attack on one ally is an attack on all allies." He has also said the U.S. shouldn't rule out putting troops on the ground in the Baltic states, if only to conduct "robust" training exercises. But he also said the U.S. should not isolate Russia to the point of pushing it into the arms of Beijing.
China/Asia: Bush has said he supports an "ongoing, deep relationship" with China: "It's so easy to create misunderstandings that we could easily go from being a competitor economically to being challenged in terms of security." Bush also believes the U.S. needs to expand its influence in Central and South America, to compete with China's influence in those regions.
Republican presidential candidate, New Jersey Gov.
Republican presidential candidate, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie talks as he meets with a supporter before a news conference, Jan. 25, 2016, in Concord, New Hampshire.
Gov. Chris Christie (New Jersey)
This century, more than any other, will be defined by the Pacific.- Portsmouth, New Hampshire, May 18, 2015
IS/Mideast: Christie has said he would send U.S. troops to fight against IS if necessary, but would prefer organizing and arming local players to defeat it. He opposes Russia's presence in Syria, which he says is aimed only at propping up the Assad regime. He supports imposing a no-fly zone in Syria and says he would shoot down any Russian planes who might violate that air space.
Christie also opposes allowing Syrian refugees of any age into the U.S., and maintains the U.S. should recommit to Israel, which he has called "a beacon of freedom in a sea of autocracy."
Iran: Christie believes Iran is a greater threat than IS and has criticized the White House for rushing the Iran nuclear deal. He said that if elected, he wouldn't repeal the deal on "day one" as Bush and Cruz would, but would review it and make decisions based on "where we are at that moment." He also noted that U.S. allies, as well as Russia and China, have a stake in the matter.
Russia: Christie takes a tough stance against Russia, which he says has been "stealing" America's "lunch money" throughout the Obama's terms in office. He has said he believes Putin is looking to establish himself as a leader in the Middle East, and that he won't let Russia bring "Communist domination back to the world."
China/Asia: Christie is equally tough on China. During the November 2015 Republican debate, he said he would fly U.S. planes over the disputed islands in the South China Sea to counter China's "upgraded presence" there. Christie says he supports free trade but opposes the TPP. He would continue to maintain partnerships with China, but at same time demand China respect human rights, global law and allies' sovereignty.
NATO/Military: Christie calls for upping support of NATO allies in Eastern Europe and encouraging European members to increase annual defense spending to 2 percent of GDP, as required by the alliance, and by helping them access systems and training necessary to counter Russian aggression.
Christie would increase U.S. defense spending and develop new weapon systems on the ground, air, sea and in space. He would also work to beef up U.S. intelligence gathering abroad, strengthen U.S. cyber security and, as a supporter of the Patriot Act, he would toughen anti-terror and surveillance laws.
Republican Presidential candidate, Sen. Ted Cruz,
Republican presidential candidate, Sen. Ted Cruz, July 23, 2015.
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (Texas)
On the first day in office if I'm elected I will rip to shreds this catastrophic agreement with Iran. – Republican debate, Sept. 16, 2015.
IS/Mideast: Cruz has called radical Islam as the second greatest U.S. security threat. He wants to ban refugees from terror-ridden regions and calls for Congress to pass the the Expatriate Terror Act, which would revoke the citizenship of American IS supporters. Cruz would arm the Kurdish Peshmerga as the main boots on the ground against IS and expand U.S. airstrikes. He would support ground troops only as a last resort – but if the U.S. does go in, it should be "with overwhelming force." Cruz would also beef up U.S. borders and ban refugees from terror-ridden areas.
Cruz calls the U.S.-Israel alliance a "bedrock". Cruz regards Jerusalem as Israel's capital and as president, would move the U.S. Embassy there. He has said that the issue of settlements is a matter for Israel to decide, and he would halt U.S. aid to the Palestinians for inciting terror. Further, he would defund the U.N. "if it continues its anti-Israel bias" and cut off federal funds to American universities boycotting Israel. And he would designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terror group.
Iran: Cruz ranks a nuclear Iran as the single greatest U.S. security threat and believes Iran will use billions in released funds to attack America and its allies. He has called the recent Iran prisoner swap deal "propaganda" for both Iran and the Obama administration. If president, he has said he would designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terror group.
Russia: In early 2015, Cruz called for arming Ukraine against Russia. To counter Putin, he would increase sanctions and expand laws that blacklist Russian rights violators. He has also called for opening up U.S. liquified natural gas exports to reduce Baltic states' reliance on Russian gas. And he has called for reinstating anti-ballistic missile batteries in Eastern Europe.
China/Asia: He supported the TPP initially, but later backtracked, saying the TPP would undermine both U.S. immigration laws and U.S. sovereignty. He has outlined a tax plan to encourage U.S. companies back to America. He has blasted China on human rights and states that in trying to expand its territory, China aims to "kick America out of the Pacific."

Gov. John Kasich, R-Ohio, speaks at the Republican Leadership Summit, April 18, 2015, in Nashua, New Hampshire.
Gov. John R. Kasich (Ohio)
Mark my words, we will all be on the ground [in Syria] sooner or later. Sooner is better than later.- Council on Foreign Relations, Dec. 9, 2015.
IS/Mideast: Kasich supports creating safe havens and no-fly zones in Syria. He would send U.S. troops to Syria, expand support to the Kurds in Syria and Iraq and beef up international intelligence sharing. He has said he would organize NATO and regional allies—Jordan, Egypt and the Gulf States — to defeat IS on the ground, rebuild the military and overhaul defense procurement, strengthen cyber defenses and international intelligence sharing. He has called for using U.S. international media – including VOA and RFE/RL - to counter extremist messages. And he would create a new federal agency to spread the Judeo-Christian message around the world.
Iran: Kasich opposed the Iran nuclear deal. If elected, he would review the deal, but avoid a knee-jerk decision on revoking it. He also says he wouldn't hesitate to reimpose sanctions if Iran "violates one crossed 't' or dotted 'i'".
Russia: Kasich advocates working with EU allies to bolster new NATO states against Russian aggression, supplying them with arms and training. He would also repositioning U.S. forces and strengthen air defense systems along eastern allies' borders with Russia. He has stressed that an attack on one NATO member is an attack on all.
China: Has said he would send an aircraft-carrier task force in the South China Sea and expand troop presence the Western Pacific. Kasich supports the TPP as a means of firming up regional alliances that could stand up to China. He recently called on China to stop manipulating the stock market.
Republican presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (Florida)
If you're a political adversary of Vladimir Putin, you wind up with plutonium in your drink or shot in the street. Charleston, South Carolina, Aug. 28, 2015
IS/Mideast: Rubio has called for sending U.S. troops (fewer than 50,000) to assist Sunni Arabs and local players against IS. His plan to defeat the extremists would expand airstrikes, set up safe zones in Syria and support rebels in ousting Assad. He also calls for arming Sunni fighters and Kurds directly. On the political front, he would counter IS propaganda by "broadcasting U.S. victories"; encourage a more inclusive government in Iraq and autonomy for Sunni tribes, and work to counter Iran's influence in Iraq. He would also expand the Patriot Act.
As for the Mideast peace process, Rubio has stated that under current conditions, a two-state solution to the Middle East crisis is not possible. In November 2015, He spoke out firmly against the EU decision to label goods produced in territories that Israel occupies.
Iran: Rubio says if elected, he would cancel the nuclear deal, and he has pledged to use military force if Iran pursues its nuclear activities, and work with Congress to impose tougher sanctions on Iran for its support of terror.
Russia: Rubio would seek tougher sanctions against "Putin and his cronies" for the Russian aggression against Ukraine and would work to reverse Rus

Humans begin acquiring skills which are useful for reading and writing much sooner than we think. By the age of 3 we are already laying the foundations which will later allow us to become good readers, and at age 6, we begin to more specifically train these cognitive processes. Therefore, the first warning signs that could indicate a LEARNING DISABILITY arise during pre-school education or on starting primary school.
Learning difficulties are caused by to the way in which our brain processes information and are life- long conditions. For individuals with learning disabilities, learning is difficult and requires the investment of a greater level of effort compared to that of their peers. Individuals with a specific learning disability typically have average or above average intelligence. However, they have specific difficulties with one or more of the processes related to learning, which may include, among others, difficulties with written numbers, spelling words, or the ability to process information heard without visual support. This can lead to difficulties in reading, reading comprehension, writing, spelling and maths.
The good news is that with a proper diagnosis and appropriate, individualised intervention, it is possible to train new and alternative skills and strategies that support the individual to learn in different ways. Fortunately, the world of education is also increasingly paying more attention to diversity, accessibility and the equality of opportunities by making adaptations for the differing needs of the individual student. Due to this, the vast majority of educational centres are open to starting to implement measures which adapt the curriculum to reflect individual needs (for example, providing extra time in exams, editing texts for students with dyslexia).
To be able to benefit from these new adaptions and the training of new and different strategies which replace previously learnt, ineffective and inefficient skills, a firm diagnosis is required from a centre which holds the necessary licences to perform the assessment.
At SINEWS we have the tools to assess and diagnose learning difficulties in both English and Spanish.
Following the assessment, our professionals will produce a report detailing the difficulties, along with recommendations for academic adaptations and the most appropriate intervention.
