Great job as always...that's why I've been using you for over 7 years.
I got this back with too many errors. I now the writer may disagree with me on this, however I went through this in detail, some of it just didn't make sense and spent another 30 minutes cleaning it up myself. One reason I use an editor is get a 2nd set of eyeballs on this and clean up the grammar, though some of this may have been done, too much was missed.
Thank you Mr. Wiz, like always - you came through with expectations over the top.

Lockdown surge in male domestic abuse victims
Male domestic abuse charities have reported a rise of up to 60% in men seeking their help during the lockdown. Respect, the helpline for male victims of domestic abuse, said it had received 13,812 calls and emails between April and July in lockdown, compared to 8,648 in the same period last year.
Respect's Ippo Panteloudakis said:
"It was absolutely clear the lockdown period exacerbated everyone's domestic abuse experiences.
"They were talking about increases in violence, increases in psychological abuse and becoming homeless as a result of the domestic abuse and not having anywhere to go.
"We had reports from men sleeping in their cars overnight or sleeping in their friends' or parents' gardens in tents."
Pandemic causes reduction in mediation
The Ministry of Justice has published its latest statistics for legal aid, for the quarter April to June 2020. Included in the statistics are figures for family mediation, and they show a clear reduction due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The statistics show that Mediation Information and Assessment Meetings ('MIAMs', which should be attended by anyone wishing to make an application in, or to initiate, family proceedings) decreased by 20% in the quarter compared to the previous year, and currently stand at around a third of the level they were at before legal aid was removed for most family cases in 2013. Mediation starts decreased by 31% and mediation outcomes decreased by 21%, and are both also now sitting at around a third of the level they were at before legal aid was removed.
Latest Family Court Statistics
The Ministry of Justice has also published its latest statistics for the Family Court, for the quarter April to June 2020. Amongst the main points were:
That Covid-19 and associated actions have had a substantial impact on Family Court activity. A significant decrease in most types of family justice occurred in the quarter. These reductions in new cases started is linked to Covid-19 measures undertaken by the courts.
That 56,867 new cases started in Family Courts in April to June 2020, down 13% on the same quarter in 2019. This is due to a 30% decrease in financial remedy cases, a 24% decrease in adoption, an 18% decrease in matrimonial matters and a 7% decrease in private law case starts.
That the number of domestic violence remedy order applications, however, increased by 24% compared to the same quarter in 2019, while the number of orders made increased by 17% over the same period.
Lastly, that there was a decrease in the average time for divorce proceedings. The mean average time from petition to decree nisi was 23 weeks, and to decree absolute was 47 weeks – both down 11 weeks respectively when compared to the equivalent quarter in 2019.
Unnecessary Private Law Applications
A judge has warned parties and lawyers against making unnecessary applications to the court.
His Honour Judge Wildblood QC, sitting in the Family Court at Bristol, said that in the previous month he had heard applications relating to at which junction of the M4 should a child be handed over for contact; which parent should hold the children's passports (in a case where there was no suggestion that either parent would detain the children outside the jurisdiction; and how should contact be arranged to take place on a Sunday afternoon?
He said: "the message in this judgment to parties and lawyers is this, as far as I am concerned. Do not bring your private law litigation to the Family Court here unless it is genuinely necessary for you to do so. You should settle your differences (or those of your clients) away from court, except where that is not possible. If you do bring unnecessary cases to this court, you will be criticised, and sanctions may be imposed upon you. There are many other ways to settle disagreements, such as mediation."

As we went South towards Grand Teton today, we made one last stop in Yellowstone. The West Thumb area is a smaller caldera within the larger Yellowstone caldera, and it's named that because it's an offshoot of Yellowstone Lake that looks like a thumb. As we walked along the boardwalk, I noticed a couple of trees just a few feet apart. One was alive and well, while the other had succumbed to the hydrothermal activity. What a difference a few feet make!
The unique thing about the geysers and hot springs in this area was the fact that some of them were under water. Pictured here are Fishing Cone, Lakeshore Geyser and Big Cone (from left to right). I read in our guidebook that early park visitors used to cook fish in Fishing Cone. We overheard a park ranger giving a tour say that some of these hot springs and geysers would be above the water level by August, when the lake recedes after the snowmelt and the rain storms of spring have passed.
Further up the boardwalk, a spring called Black Pool seeped water directly into Lake Yellowstone. The orange and brown colors of the water are due the thermophiles.
And finally, one of the deepest springs and the park, the striking emerald green and turquoise Abyss Pool.
We continued on Hwy 89 south towards Grand Teton. We've been on Hwy 89 ever since we left Glacier National Park! What an amazing road! As we drove towards the Teton mountain range, one of the first peaks appeared in front of us, Mt. Moran, at 12,605 ft (3842 m).
We stopped at Colter Bay visitor center to get some maps and ask the park rangers some questions, then continued south to our hotel, the Jackson Lake Lodge. The hotel sits right on Jackson Lake, the biggest lake in the park, with amazing views of the Tetons right across from us. The lack of foothills makes for a striking effect as these giant mountains scratch the sky, and we couldn't peel our eyes off of them.
We sat down for lunch at one of the hotel's three restaurants, and enjoyed the 180 view from the outside patio. We googled a bit to confirm that you cannot hike to Grand Teton, the highest one in the range (13770 ft / 4197 m ). Even the easiest route to the top is a technical climbing route that requires specialized skills and equipment. We also read that seismic activity made these mountains, each shakeout jutting the mountains upward 10 feet and sinking Jackson Hole 30-40 feet. The current difference in elevation between the valley and the mountains is 7000 feet.
At the top, we enjoyed 360 views of the valley and the Teton mountain range.
We also saw the ledge of the craziest ski run in the US, Corbet's Couloir, which begins with a death-defying jump into powder. You can get an even better idea of how perilous this jump is by watching this video.
After the tram, we went into downtown Jackson. The town square was flanked by arches made from elk antlers on each of the four corner. Each arch is made of 2000 antlers. In the summer, the arches are a striking white in the sun, while in winter they sparkle with Christmas lights. These arches have been in existence since the 1960s. They come from elk that winter in the nearby elk refuge. Male elk shed their antlers each spring, and local boy scouts collect them and sell them at an auction here at the square each May. All four arches were built by the local Rotary Club.
On one of the streets facing the square sits the landmark Million Dollar Cowboy Bar. The most interesting feature here are the saddles that serve as bar stools. The bartender heard us talk about the total solar eclipse coming up on August 21 this year. Grand Teton National park is in the path of totality, and Laura and I were talking about how hard it must be to find a place to sleep here on that day. The bartender said that lodging goes for $5,000 a night, and that the very first reservation was made 5 years ago. He said that locals are camping out in friends' backyards that day so that they can offer up their houses to tourists.
Our final stop in Jackson was the town square, where we witnessed a gunfight reenactment. The event is put on by the Jackson Hole Playhouse and has been a summer tradition since 1956.
We had a great first day in the Tetons. We are happy to be connected again and look forward to enjoying marvelous views of these mountains in the next few days.


TRIACs look deceptively simple to use, however, a few design guidelines need to be followed.
At first glance you would think that since a TRIAC is controlling AC, it's two terminals M1 an M2 would be interchangeable. This isn't the case, if you swap M1 and M2 the TRIAC will not work. The gate drive must be referenced to M1. The schematic symbol for the TRIAC always has the gate drawn by M1, to show the asymmetry of the device.
The load should always be placed on M2 and not M1. This is important because this will cause the AC voltage to appear across the gate resistor, and will cause it to overheat and even melt. Yep, you guessed it - I've made this mistake.
Another factor is the gate drive current. The data sheet should specify gate trigger current: IGT. The gate should have a series resistor so that the current to the gate is greater than the trigger current. The resistor value should be the drive voltage divided by IGT + 20% to give it some margin. If the resistor is too small, the TRIAC will not turn on or only turn on half the cycle.

Austin clear favourite for Man of Steel – GET 'EM ONSIDE!
With ten days until the start of the 2019 Betfred Super League season, the competition's title sponsors' Man of Steel betting market already has a clear favourite in the form of Warrington Wolves' new marquee signing Blake Austin.
The 27-year-old arrival from the NRL's Canberra Raiders is viewed as a player who could still be one of the best Down Under so for him to be wearing Warrington colours in 2019 is viewed as something of a coup. The market suggests that fans believe his performances will certainly stand out this season – and why wouldn't they? With 34 tries and countless assists in Raiders colours, Austin is certainly set to shine for Steve Price's men and, at 7/1 at the time of writing, he is by far and away the favourite for the end of season accolade – one which, Robert Elstone has suggested, is set to be reformed and will adopt a system not dissimilar from the NRL's Dally M awards. The NRL's individual awards are voted for on a points system throughout the season and Elstone believes this will better reflect a player's quality over the course of the campaign.
His closest rivals for the award are three English hookers in the shape of James Roby, Paul McShane and Daryl Clark (14/1, 14/1 and 16/1 respectively). The quality of the three is undeniable but, given that hookers rarely shine as individuals, they may perhaps be beneficiaries of the new system. Roby and Clark have, of course, won the Man of Steel award before with Saints man winning the award in 2007 and Clark seven years later. Fellow Englishman Zak Hardaker is Wigan's leading candidate at 20/1 as he prepares to return to Super League after missing the entire 2018 season due to a drugs ban. His odds are the same as Sam Tomkins, the man who Hardaker is in line to replace as Wigan's first choice full back after the former New Zealand Warrior joined Catalans for 2019 and beyond.

In Photos – KISS Euro Tour 1976
KISS is one of the most world-traveled band in rock history but it wasn't always that way. Today, we take a look at the fearsome foursome's first trip outside of North America with some photos snapped during their 1976 European Tour.
This is an interesting set of photos due to the fact that the band opened this tour in support of Destroyer but were still wearing their Alive! era costumes. Some of the coolest photos in this set show the band posing holding promo photos where they are wearing the new costumes. This tour was not billed as The Destroyer Tour or the Alive! Tour but simply KISS Tour. The band did, however, perform Detroit Rock City as well as Flaming Youth off of the then-new album.
The tour began in Manchester, England on 5/13/76 and ended in Grundigshalle, Nuremburg, Germany on 6/4/76. Most, if not all, of these photos are from KISS' stops in Sweden 5/26-30.

Before you make any statements to the police, speak to one of San Francisco field sobriety tests lawyer at Okabe & Haushalter. We work with our clients one-on-one to provide aggressive legal strategies.
There are many areas where the accuracy of field sobriety tests can be called into question—and a good attorney will know what they are and aggressively attack them in fighting for his client's vindication. A DUI conviction can turn your life upside down with penalties including heavy fines, jail time, and the required installation of an IID. It is therefore in your best interest to contact an experienced DUI defense lawyer before you make any statements to the police.
Despite being labeled standard, these tests are only 65 to 77% accurate. In addition, these tests are often not precisely administered with many police officers never bothering to get training in how to administer or score these tests. Field sobriety tests contain a large number of physical coordination challenges where the results can be affected by the environment or other physical conditions present in the defendant besides lack of sobriety. For example, the person being tested might be tired or have some kind of physical condition such as an injured leg. The conditions present in the environment can affect the results of the test as well. The test might have been given on the ground that was at a steep angle, for example, or it might have been windy.
Before you make any statements to the police, speak with us at Okabe & Haushalter. We work with our clients one-on-one to provide aggressive legal strategies. We have the track record of achieving successful results and have been involved in such high profile cases such as the OJ Simpson and Michael Jackson trials. Our law firm is managed by Ryan J. King who is a former Deputy District Attorney. With his background, we have considerable legal experience for guiding the legal strategies that are used in the defense of our clients.

Congress Should Use the USMCA Ratification Process to Restore Congressional Authority Over Trade
The flags of Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. are seen on a lectern before a joint news conference on the closing of the seventh round of NAFTA talks in Mexico City, Mexico. Edgard Garrido/Reuters
Blog Post by Jennifer Hillman
With the signing of the Protocol of Amendment to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) on December 10, 2019, the battle over USMCA now moves to the Congress. Throughout the two-and-a-half year negotiating process, a threat by President Trump to withdraw from USMCA's predecessor, the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), has hung over the negotiations, with significant legal uncertainty over whether the president has the authority to do so absent action by Congress.
Congress now has the chance to clear up that ambiguity and to reassert its constitutional authority over trade policy. But to do so, it will have to act fast. It is likely that the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) will bypass the traditional process of holding a "mock markup" that would allow the Congress to propose amendments to both the legislation implementing the USMCA and the accompanying Statement of Administrative Action (SAA), which outlines executive branch commitments on how the provisions of the USMCA will be implemented. Rather than follow the usual order, USTR is expected to introduce a final, non-amendable bill next week, along with a (presumably amended) SAA, for quick consideration by the House Ways and Means Committee before it is sent to the House floor for final passage. Given the indications from Senate Majority Leader McConnell that the Senate will not take up the USMCA until after the impeachment trial ends early next year, it is not clear why all of the procedural steps in the fast track process must be waived.
Before it is too late, Congress should insist on including a number of items in the implementing legislation or on essential changes to the May 30, 2019, draft Statement of Administrative Action (SAA). Indeed, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer's transmittal letter for the SAA emphasized that the submission "is just that –a draft. It does not in any way prejudice the content of the final implementation package, i.e., the final SAA, final implementation legislation, and the final, binding text." Now is the time for Congress to hold Ambassador Lighthizer to his word and insist on changes to the implementing bill and the SAA in the following areas:
Renewing America
Ideas and initiatives for renewing America's economic strength. Twice a month.
View all newsletters >
1. Withdrawal from USMCA
The language of the USMCA mirrors that of the NAFTA: any party may withdraw from USMCA by providing written notice of withdrawal to the other parties, with the withdrawal taking effect six months after notice is given. USMCA Article 34.6. What the text of the NAFTA and the USMCA do not say is who gets to decide to submit the withdrawal notice, under what authority, and pursuant to what procedures. Congress should fill in those blanks by insisting on language, preferably in the implementing bill itself but if not, in the SAA, that spells out a process and clear role for Congress before any withdrawal notice can be sent. If it takes an act of Congress under the well defined Trade Promotion Authority procedures, input from stakeholders and advisory committees, and a formal economic evaluation from the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) to enter into the USMCA, surely it ought to take at least some process and congressional input to withdraw.
The May 30 draft SAA is completely silent on how the Trump administration intends to implement the withdrawal provision. Congress should insist that either the implementing legislation itself or the SAA include a commitment to a transparent process, including public hearings, input from the trade advisory committees, a USITC economic evaluation of the costs and benefits of withdrawal, and a fast-tracked Congressional vote before a notice of withdrawal can be sent to the USMCA parties.
2. Six-Year Joint Reviews
Article 34.7 of USMCA calls for a meeting of the Free Trade Commission (consisting of trade ministers of the United States, Canada, and Mexico) at least every six years. The purpose of the meeting is to conduct a joint review of the USMCA's operations, to consider any recommendations for action submitted by one of the USMCA parties, and to confirm each party's desire to extend the USMCA for a sixteen-year period.
Here too the May 30 draft SAA is silent on how the Trump administration intends to approach these six-year reviews. Congress should insist that either the implementing legislation or the SAA include a clear role for Congress in developing recommendations to be presented on behalf of the United States at the joint review sessions, and, as noted below, in determining whether to confirm continued U.S. participation in the UMSCA.
3. Decision to Invoke the Sixteen-Year Sunset Clause
Article 34.7(1) states that the USMCA shall terminate sixteen years after it enters into force unless each of the three parties affirmatively confirms its desire to continue the agreement for a new sixteen-year period. That confirmation must be made in writing at the six-year joint review meetings.
Congress should treat the decision to allow the USMCA to terminate at the end of the sixteen-year period the same as a notice of withdrawal. A decision not to confirm the United States' continued participation in the USMCA ultimately has the same legal effect as withdrawal. It should be done only following a full process that includes input from all stakeholders and trade advisory committees, a USITC economic evaluation, and a vote of Congress.
The uncertainty created by the manner in which U.S. trade policy has been conducted over the past three years has led to numerous calls for Congress to reassert the power expressly given to it by the Constitution to establish tariffs and regulate foreign commerce. The problem has been the limited opportunities for Congress to do so. The USMCA presents just such a chance. On the essential issue of whether to enter into and whether to exit as important a trade agreement as the one with our two largest trading partners—Canada and Mexico—Congress should insist on playing a central role. It should make it clear that the president does not have the authority to act without the express authorization of Congress.

The randomised, multicentre, open-label, phase II RENO trial was conducted with the objective of establishing a standard chemotherapy regimen in the setting of chemo-radiotherapy of locally advanced NSCLC. A total of 134 patients with inoperable stage III NSCLC received either oral vinorelbine plus cisplatin or etoposide plus cisplatin.
Although the analysis revealed no differences regarding both PFS (primary endpoint; 11.4 vs. 11.8 months with vinorelbine and etoposide, respectively) and response (ORR, 64 % vs. 66.7 %, respectively), vinorelbine showed a better safety profile. Grade-3/4 events were significantly reduced in the vinorelbine arm (19.7 % vs. 62.6 %; p < 0.001) due to higher tolerability with regard to both haematological and non-haematological events. The latter included oesophagitis, pneumonia, and sepsis. The RENO trial is currently maturing to assess the impact of these regimens on overall survival.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a rare malignancy in most parts of the world, with an incidence well under 1 per 100 000 person-years. Exceptions are the Chinese, especially the Cantonese living in the central region of Guangdong Province in Southern China. Other populations with elevated rates include the natives of Southeast Asia, the natives of the Artic region, and the Arabs of North Africa and parts of the Middle East. Intake of preserved foods at an early age has been linked to NPC risk in all population groups with increased NPC rates. Other recognized risk factors for NPC are cigarette smoking, and occupational exposure to formaldehyde and wood dust.

Had an interesting discussion yesterday with a colleague about promises made to ourselves. She asked, "Why is it when we make a promise to ourself, we don't work as hard to keep it as when we promise someone else something?" It's an interesting question and I can definitely see a multitude of times in my own life where this rings true. I guess in many ways that is the reason for this blog. Knowing that you are reading this right now, motivates me not to screw this all up for the hundredth time. It holds me accountable. I wish I could be more accountable to myself but I'm a work in progress.
A sign that hangs on my filing cabinet at work says: "I am part of all that is, however that may be defined. The life of the person that I am today is but the current expression of what I am." We are never the same exact person from one day or year or decade to the next. We are a work in progress. When I get aggravated at others because they fall short of what I expect, I need to realize that I too often fall short of what I expect for myself. We all suffer in some way. We all have hurts. We are not as separate as we like to think we are. That is an illusion. At least that's my take on it.


Reference is made to the GCB'S letter dated 2014-08-12 in the Kaieteur newspaper under the caption 'GCB RESPONDS TO ELROY STEPHNEY'S LETTER'. It was never my intention to easily score against the Guyana Cricket Board following the publishing of my letter on the same date that the GCB responded.
Instead I was merely exposing what was a piece of misleading and inaccurate information that was posted. In fact there is other incorrect information such as having the Gunners, Young Achievers and Lima Sports clubs as members of Central Essequibo; instead these clubs are from North Essequibo. The GCB responded by denying my claims and posted its website as www.guyanacricketboard.com which indeed has updated information and other relevant statistics of the GCB.
I wish to publicly congratulate the national under-15 and under-19 teams for securing regional titles. However the Essequibo Cricket Board does not have an official web site. Therefore, information regarding the county, including the Board's constitution is available and I presume that it is compliments of the GCB'S web site. If someone were to browse the site, a brief history about the ECB and the listing of the eight area committees can be found. Information regarding the North Essequibo Cricket Committee can conversely be found at www.guyanacricket.com/northessequibocricketcommittee.com.
This site has all the relevant information regarding the Guyana Cricket Board and includes headings such as Home, Clubs, Govern, Articles, Players and Scorecards which comprehensively contains the history of the GCB including the names of current and past players that would have represented their respective counties.
Surprisingly my name was not featured on Essequibo's list despite having captained my county at all levels. It is the very site that contains the misleading information regarding the executives of North Essequibo which officially conducted its AGM for 2011 on January 31st, 2011 at the ECB Hostel, with Mr. Prince Holder securing the Presidency. The site instead has Mr. Anand Azad heading the Committee, naming Sparta as the venue and elections held on February, 13th, 2011.
If the site is not being operated by the GCB then I may wish to know who would have posted such voluminous information and which has official news of the Board? The data includes updated news on the CPL and the Regional under-19 tournament. The NECC will not allow the rights of the Committee to be trampled upon, especially if there is a sinister motive to discredit the true executives of the NECC who continues to diligently serve under the Presidency of Mr. Prince Holder.
I would have detected a wrong which I thrust the GCB may wish to correct, liable to acknowledging ownership of the particular site which I was told, was created and hosted by the GCB before 2014.

Alison Bergmann rides her way to victory
Riley Carlson, Photography and Online Editor|October 5, 2021
Photo submitted by Cambrie Cole
Junior Alison Bergmann, with the horse that made her the World Champion.
"She's confident, calm and doesn't freak out when a horse does something stupid," senior Marit Hegstad said, as she described her friend and fellow competitor.
Junior Alison Bergmann attended last season's World Championship Horse Show. The competition took place in Fort Worth, Texas last June. It featured riders from around the world that participated in a variety of events.
"I have countless awards but my biggest one is World Champion Hunter Under Saddle," Alison explained.
Alison has traveled to many places for horse shows due to her passion for the sport. She has mostly traveled around Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota and Texas.
Graphic by Kennedy Tope
Alison's mother Colleen Bergmann added that Texas was the most memorable award because it was the biggest prize.
Alison's passion for riding horses started at a young age as a result of her mother training horses. Alison was never phased by the danger of riding and attributed her success to her devotion.
"Even when a animal that big does something so stupid, she doesn't get scared. She keeps pushing," Colleen added.
Alison did not win her first show, but she kept pushing. She pushed her horse while training and during shows to improve for their future competitions.
Colleen worked with Alison often to train her horse, "her biggest achievement was getting onto a horse that was not talented out of the gate, she pushed that horse," she explained.
Combined with her six years of experience and help from Colleen, Alison has decided to try more challenging horses. Despite her world champion status, Alison proved that she can continue to improve her skills.
"I've been on the same horse for six years now… we know each other like the back of our hands, but trying something new here and there teaches you what that animal can do. I can go into shows with a different outlook," Alison said.
Colleen has spent countless hours watching and coaching Alison. She emphasized the risk of riding horses. Alison has a small figure, but regularly deals with animals much larger than her.
"I'm happy to see her take a passion of mine and keep pushing to love the ride, but it does give me anxiety. Sometimes I have to walk away and take a deep breath to be able to keep watching," Colleen added.
The horse shows have become more competitive as Alison has aged, but Colleen was there to support Alison, as well as to push her.
"She never gets scared when she jumps on to that horse, her only focus is winning and coming home a winner," Colleen explained.
Alison's next goal is to attend the World Show. Her love for the sport and for animals continues to inspire her to improve and compete at a higher level.
Alison has always wanted to go to the World Show, "the one main reason I want to go is because of the puppy aisle which seems so fun," she said with a smile.
"I have already faced big challenges in my riding career, but no matter what challenges I have to face from here on out, I'm ready to do it," Alison added.

I really liked how this article shows Bergmann's personality. It really gave us an insight into her character that lead her to victory. This article really helped send the message of the passion and determination from Bergmann.
Hunter Reardon	• Nov 8, 2021 at 10:18 pm
This story is very interesting and your writing really pulled me in. I really like the quotes, especially the ones from her mom. I love how you used your mother's perspective. I also think the conclusion is very well done. Nice work!
Isabelle	• Nov 8, 2021 at 7:51 pm
I love the intro quote it really captured my attention, I also like how you ended with a quote to tie it all back together. I also really like the graphic. The transitions are really smooth on this piece and everything just flows together.
Cambrie Cole	• Nov 7, 2021 at 4:48 pm
The way you outlined your story and created a deeper meaning drew me in and got me invested. I think you did a good job at expressing Alison's life and how her achievements greatly affected not only her but those around her.
Lauren Guinee	• Nov 1, 2021 at 7:05 pm
I really liked how you chose quotes that relayed emotion to deepen the meaning of the story. I thought it was cool how you talked not only about her awards but her whole journey growing up as a horse rider, emphasizing her passion and drive. Great details and awesome story!
Nissa Wilcox	• Oct 28, 2021 at 9:59 am
You did a great job of showing Alison's and strengths and passion for riding and got a lot of helpful sources that really tie the article together, showing how much riding meant to Alison as she grew up.
Katie Kangas	• Oct 25, 2021 at 10:26 am
I really like how you show the strength of Allison and what she does. It's a dangerous sport and I appreciate how you outline that not just by stating it as a fact, but showing it through quotes. How you ended the story with showing what her future goals for her riding are really wrapped everything up. It really leaves the reader at a really nice leaving point. Great job!
Shannon Pothen	• Oct 14, 2021 at 9:28 am
I like that you got the perspective of Alison's mother. I thought that was a interesting perspective that added a lot to the story. I like that you wrote about not just her awards but talked about how she started riding. I like the the quote by her mother talking about how she has to step away when she is watching Alison. I thought that was a nice thing to add and relatable for a lot of parents when watching their kids.

By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them. And indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1499)
The sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is given to those who are seriously ill by anointing them on the forehead and hands with duly blessed oil – pressed from olives or from other plants – saying, only once: "Through this holy anointing may the Lord in his love and mercy help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit. May the Lord who frees you from sin save you and raise you up."
Who receives and who administers this sacrament?
In case of grave illness...
"The Anointing of the Sick "is not a sacrament for those only who are at the point of death. Hence, as soon as anyone of the faithful begins to be in danger of death from sickness or old age, the fitting time for him to receive this sacrament has certainly already arrived." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1514)
"If a sick person who received this anointing recovers his health, he can in the case of another grave illness receive this sacrament again. If during the same illness the person's condition becomes more serious, the sacrament may be repeated. It is fitting to receive the Anointing of the Sick just prior to a serious operation. The same holds for the elderly whose frailty becomes more pronounced." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1515)
"...let him call for the presbyters of the Church"
"Only priests (bishops and presbyters) are ministers of the Anointing of the Sick. It is the duty of pastors to instruct the faithful on the benefits of this sacrament. The faithful should encourage the sick to call for a priest to receive this sacrament. The sick should prepare themselves to receive it with good dispositions, assisted by their pastor and the whole ecclesial community, which is invited to surround the sick in a special way through their prayers and fraternal attention." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1516)
If you or someone you know needs to receive this sacrament please contact the Church Office (Phone: 305 649-5464)

The main goal of the sensing and actuation as a service (SAaaS) approach is to enrol and aggregate sensing resources from heterogeneous sensor networks and smart devices, providing them as a service in a Cloud-wise fashion. SAaaS aims at providing handles on sensing and actuation resources, abstracted and virtualized on top of physical ones, shared by contributors to the SAaaS. This requires adequate mechanisms for letting SAaaS end users interact with the contributing nodes hosting the provided resources. In this paper we focus on such problem, introducing the module of our SAaaS architecture specifically conceived to deal with all the issues related to user-resource interfaces: the Planning Agent (PA). The modular architecture of the PA and its main interactions with SAaaS stakeholders and framework components are described. The development of the PA on the Android platform is detailed, thus implementing a preliminary version of the SAaaS framework, targeted at mobiles: SAaaS4mobile.

I was running a bit late for work the other day, and considering not going to work out beforehand.
Instead, I went to the gym, stuffed all my crap in good old locker #69, and worked out anyhow, going for a nice 30 minute swim. I put myself first.
When I got to work, the work I had to do was still waiting for me. The other chores, errands, and home things I had to do that day still waited for me when I got around to them.

SME Education Foundation SME PRIME PRIME Success Stories All PRIME Highlights Honda Manufacturing of America Inc.
PRIME Investor Highlight
Industry Leader Honda Partners to Prepare
July 25, 2019 by SME Education Foundation
Honda produces Honda and Acura vehicles and their engines, transmissions and components; aircraft and aircraft engines, power equipment; and powersports products at 12 American manufacturing facilities. With the longest-sustained U.S. manufacturing presence of any international automaker, Honda contributes to the U.S. economy through manufacturing, R&D, sales, finance and other operations.
An SME PRIME school partner, the Honda of America Manufacturing operation in Anna, Ohio (producing engines since 1985), works with nearby Anna High School in a partnership forged through the SME Education Foundation.
A "New York Times" reporter recently travelled to Anna, about an hour north of Dayton, to learn more about the SME PRIME initiative and its progress at Anna High School. The piece published last month highlighted the connection between Honda and the school — and the opportunities being explored by students.
SME Education Foundation featured in The New York Times
The Times' piece notes that manufacturers' need for people who can operate, troubleshoot, maintain and install robotics and automation technology "is going to grow in the future," said Scot McLemore, manager of talent acquisition at Honda North America. Automation equipment is increasingly being adopted by sectors outside of auto manufacturing, which has used robots for decades.
The Honda Engine plant in Anna opens its doors to students for tours and learning. The relevance of their high school training becomes clear to Anna High School students who have visited the plant. One of the students, Jarred Seigle, liked how their classroom task was like what he'd seen robots do on assembly lines in Honda's engine plant a few miles outside the center of the village. "This is something we could all be doing in a few years if we're working in a factory," said Jarred, 18, who is planning to major in mechanical engineering at the University of Toledo. "We might be programming robots."
Like many schools and their industry partners, misperceptions can be a challenge. The SME Education Foundation is committed, as part of its mission, to address these misperceptions.
The Times' reporting notes the perception challenge. "Unless parents have a personal connection to someone working in manufacturing, they either have no idea what happens or they have a misperception that it's dark, dirty and dangerous, which is definitely not the case," said Scot McLemore.

Oak regeneration problems have been noted in the Missouri Ozarks and elsewhere in the eastern United States. Alteration of disturbance regimes, competition from nonoak species, and high overstory stocking are believed to be major barriers that impede oak regeneration. We studied regeneration in upland oak forests that were harvested by both even-aged (clearcutting) and uneven-aged (single-tree selection and group selection) regeneration methods, focusing on differences in oak regeneration among stands that received alternative harvest treatments. Ten years after treatments, the density of oak regeneration generally increased with increased removal of overstory trees, but only the clearcutting treatment resulted in a statistically significant increase in the density of oak seedlings and saplings over that in the no harvest treatment (the control). There were no differences among treatments in the relative proportions of oak seedlings and saplings as a whole or by size classes among the treatments. Successful oak regeneration after removal of overstory trees highly depends on the number and size of advance oak reproduction and is closely related to site conditions such as aspect and bedrock geology. Both site factors and advance oak reproduction must be considered when a regeneration method to promote oak is chosen. Compared with the uneven-aged methods (single-tree selection and group selection), clearcutting favored the red oak species over the white oak species.

Women's European Championship: Uefa move tournament to July 2022
Wembley Stadium will host the Women's European Championship final
The postponed 2021 Women's European Championship will take place from 6-31 July 2022, Uefa has confirmed.
The tournament, to be held in England, has been pushed back after the men's European Championship and the Tokyo Olympics were both postponed until 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The intention is to use the same venues as the original tournament.
Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin says the move ensures the competition will get the "spotlight it deserves".
He added: "By moving to the following year, we are ensuring that our flagship women's competition will be the only major football tournament of the summer."
Uefa's chief of women's football, Nadine Kessler, said: "This decision puts us in a position to deliver a tournament that attracts global attention, maximises media coverage and increases stadium attendances, and is therefore helping us to meet our core objective of inspiring the next generation of footballers.
"2022 also allows for further promotion and partner activation, which would have been much more difficult in what is now a crowded summer in 2021."
England are set to open the tournament Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium on 7 July, one of 10 venues used across the country, with Wembley hosting the final.
Moving the Euros to 2022 will avoid two women's tournaments in the same summer.
Three European teams – Great Britain, the Netherlands and Sweden – have already qualified for the Olympics.
As it stands, the finale of the Women's Euros will coincide with the start of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, which are held from 27 July-7 August.
Uefa says there were "extensive discussions" with Birmingham 2022 organisers.
The Football Association's director of women's football, Baroness Sue Campbell said: "We are also grateful to the Commonwealth Games Federation for its collaboration as we sought to confirm these new dates, and look forward to working together to showcase the best of women's sport across both of our events."

Returning 600,000 Acres to Nature, One Piece at a Time
As homeowners, churches and even railway operators "rewild" their land, biodiversity is flocking back to England's East Anglia region.
By: Peter Yeung
"This is about everyone," says Hugh Somerleyton, still breathing heavily after tending to a band of horses on his farm in East Anglia, England's far easterly region. "Rewilding should be a populist movement. It's important that ordinary citizens feel like they are making real, tangible change."
The 49-year-old conservationist, along with friends and fellow farmers Argus Hardy and Olly Birkbeck, are spearheading an ambitious effort to change the nature of rewilding. Built on the concept that natural areas will thrive if humans simply step back and let them heal, rewilding has caught on in places urban and rural, transforming everything from pocket-sized city parks to sprawling industrial farms.

Somerleyton and his friends' rewilding scheme is particularly ambitious. Known as WildEast, the radical project aims to give back some 250,000 hectares of East Anglia — one fifth of the entire region's landmass — to wildlife over the next 50 years. The goal is to restore biodiversity in one of Europe's most heavily-farmed regions by creating one of the world's largest restored nature reserves.
Achieving this will require the buy-in of thousands of people of all walks of life across a far-reaching swathe of countryside — perhaps the project's biggest challenge, and it's greatest potential for transformative success. "We're trying to democratize nature," says Somerleyton, the son of a farmer, "and the preservation of it."
From churches to train stations
WildEast was inspired by other rewilding experiments that came before it, such as the UK's Knepp Estate, the Oostvaardersplassen reserve in the Netherlands and Spain's Cantabrian mountains. Across the project area's vast expanse, the trio plan to restore the region's soil fertility through regenerative farming, and reintroduce species such as lynx, bison, pelicans and beavers. To the naked eye, the need for such restoration might not be obvious. But according to Somerleyton, while East Anglia, one of Europe's most heavily farmed regions, is "visually beautiful, much of it is ecologically inert."
East Anglia's loss of biodiversity is emblematic of a nationwide problem. A landmark report published in 2019 by the British wildlife charity RSPB found that 41 percent of UK species have declined since the 1970s. It's a similar picture across the globe, and last September, the UN revealed that none of the 20 global biodiversity targets agreed to by almost 200 nations in Japan in 2010 had been met.
"Britain is becoming incredibly nature-depleted," says Richard Bunting, a spokesperson for the nonprofit organization Rewilding Britain. "We're being outpaced by a biodiversity crisis. Large scale nature recovery and rewilding projects are hugely important to try and turn this around."

But beside the impressive headline targets, experts say that what sets apart WildEast from other rewilding schemes is its focus on building a grassroots movement to achieve them, encouraging everyone from farmers to home gardeners and churches to private businesses across East Anglia to pledge one-fifth of their land to wildlife and help create a more ecologically-rich nation.
WildEast is also working with schools in collaboration with the charity Papillon Project to educate children about the natural world and the importance of biodiversity and sustainable farming, while also launching an accreditation system that provides labels recognizing the produce of farmers who sign up to the scheme.
According to Rewilding Britain's Bunting, this people-led approach is helping to invigorate change like never before. "The empowerment and engagement aspect makes WildEast quite unusual," he says. "It's pioneering something quite special and allows people all across the community to get involved."
A year on from WildEast's launch, the project is showing green shoots of progress. A website known as the "Map of Dreams" that tracks rewilding efforts around the region indicates that the scheme has already met its target of recording 1,000 rewilding pledges by the end of 2021.
Somerleyton is leading by example in committing 1,000 acres of his 5,000-acre estate to rewilding, giving back grassland, heathland and wooded pasture to now be grazed by free-roaming Dartmoor ponies, rare-breed cows, large black pigs and water buffalo.
Many others across the region have begun to follow suit. One woman who inherited 100 acres of farmland is selling the farmhouse to pay for the land to be returned to the wild. A transport operator has pledged 56 railway station gardens to nature. And a vicar at the All Saints Chedgrave Church in Suffolk, who has pledged 20 percent of the church's gardens to rewilding, has also installed bird boxes and insect houses, planted wildlife plugs and ceased mowing certain parts of the land.
"It sits with our aspirations environmentally," says Reverend Alison Ball. "We have to take care of the earth responsibly. But WildEast also legitimizes what we're doing in our churchyard — we're not just one little church on its own. I think it's absolutely fabulous, and the way that they are creatively trying to engage people with it."

Ball says the impact is already visible: a recent flowering plant survey has revealed several more species than there were last year, with the gardens now teaming with flowers, long grasses and butterflies.
But it has not all been steady growth for WildEast. For one, Somerleyton admits that building a sustainable funding model has until now proven tricky. "It's early days and we're not well financed," he says.
The three founders have so far each invested around £50,000 (USD$70,000) of their own money, in addition to around £15,000 of donations from the public. For the project to be successful, he says other income streams such as national and regional funding grants, corporate investment and crowdfunding must be established.
Another key challenge is gaining the support of farmers, some of whom see the rewilding movement as a threat to their livelihoods — if land is rewilded, they believe it cannot be farmed. "But the reality is that we have enough unused land in Britain to produce enough food and still achieve our rewilding goals," says Somerleyton.
Nonetheless, signs are that their message is gradually filtering through. He points out that around 70 of the 1,000 pledges received by WildEast have been made by farmers.
"It will take us time and effort to convince them," he says. "But a year ago we didn't expect all of these individuals, institutions and companies to be on board. We didn't expect all of this momentum. We feel like the wizard from The Wizard of Oz. Anything is possible if we work together."

Reasons to Book Cheap Cuzco Flights
Cuzco is the capital of the Cuzco Region and the Cuzco Province in Peru. This beautiful city was once the capital of the Inca Empire and is now home to the civilization's archaeological relics and nearly 500 years old Spanish architecture. Cucco is one of the country's most visited cities because it is the launching pad to other regional Inca sites and to the country's folkloric capital - Puno. The city square, called Plaza de Armas, is home to a number of Spanish colonial buildings that were erected above Inca walls. This square is known for pulsating tourist-centric nightlife besides a range of churches, museums and art gallery. Paragliding in the Sacred Valley and water rafting in Rio Urubamba River are other prominent attractions here.
Sacsayhuaman
Sacsayhuaman is a citadel and a ruined fortress in Cuzco. Famous for its surgical-grade construction, it is considered a triumph of Incan military marksmanship and focused logistics because it was made of many 300 ton rocks that were brought up a hill and put together without using mortar. Sadly, this is also where the Incan armed forces were annihilated by their Spanish counterparts in 16th century, thus deleting the legendary civilization and its superlative architectonic enterprise from the world map.
Qoricancha
Incan Civilization attached an enormous amount of significance to sun, and their kings were considered 'the Sons of Sun.' Qoricancha was a religious temple dedicated to Sun god and combined with the supreme authority of Incan kings, this religious place was as important as the center of the civilization. It was a masterpiece of crafted stone work and used to be laden with gold plates weighing up to 2 kilograms. A bird's eye view of this magnificent temple gives the appearance of sunrays emanating out to all four corners of the civilization, thus giving the notion that the Incan inhabitants were blessed equally.
Museo de Arte Precolombino (Museum of Pre-Columbian Art)
The Museo de Arte Precolombino is the most prominent art museum in Cuzco. It has a remarkable collection of pre-Columbian artworks of 1250 BC and 1532 AD, and fall under ten broad categories like those of wood, jewelry, stone, silver and gold. Also of note are some historic ceramic objects like Aribalos that belonged to the royal family.

Cuzco Traveler's Reviews
Good and safe flight
The flight was very good staff did a good job of making sure everyone had there mask on properly service was good the pilot made a very good landing in a snow storm - Daniel Jan 20, 2022
My husband and I spent 3 weeks there with our kids (13 to 20yo), 1st trip since the Covid situation started, we all loved it. Just visiting Papeete and talking to locals is a bless: Tahitian people are amazingly kind. Going to Moorea is a must (we went to see the sharks and rays, all organized from Tahiti), and other islands are great if you're not on a budget (Everything is crazy expensive, but going to the beach and snorkelling are free :) ). Trip is cheaper than usual, don't miss it! - Geraldine Jan 17, 2022
