And to me it would be one of the better Alex Smith games when we had him, like the one versus Arizona versus lets say the one versus Tampa Bay or the Texans. I was actually thinking Alex Smith, at his best, while watching that one. He showed some mobility when needed. And he didn't just manage the game but also made some big throws when needed albeit most of what he did was conservative.
Have to capture momentum early in games when the coaches have created a schematic advantage early on and on days when there appears to be a talent gap. Allen did this today and like you mentioned, did make a few plays.
If he plays like this game in and game out, they can win with him. But alas that's not been how his young career has been so far so i am not banking on it.
Right with you.
Today is an anomaly for him, but game managers can be developed, ESPECIALLY ones that have some wheels. Wish he was a better instinctual runner— fascinates me to see if this can be worked on. For me I'd like to see him climb the pocket, scramble in the A and B gaps more often, and be more patient when play making on the edges (he sprints to the sidelines versus having spatial awareness of himself, sideline, and defenders coming after him).
Interesting that Kyle has learned from Alex. I was wondering some about it when I read the WP story about a player urging Haskins to model Alex -- I wondered how Kyle is doing on that front? You'd figure Alex is the perfect mentor to Kyle because Kyle's career issue has been turnovers and Alex's niche is avoing turnovers.
He did seem to have the look Smith at various moments. A blend of Allen and Smiths game management would be a nice mix. Allen did a great job of limiting 2nd or 3rd and long situations by avoiding sacks and making throws available to him and this was done by timely throw aways and at one time stepping up into a sack limiting the negative yardage. Alex was always great at taking the 1-2 yard sack versus 3-8 yard sacks that kill drives.
I've decided my rooting interest will be for Allen to develop into a good game manager with wheels and for the organization to feel confident about him going into next year as the starter, but still drafting a QB.

It surprised me that Kyle Allen is actually younger than Terry. Hopefully they can develop in to a serious threat.

The Cover Corner
Allen did exactly what he needed to do this week. He was accurate for the most part on the short throws that moved the sticks. He was accurate on the shots he took down field. The only thing you can ask from him now is consistency. Great game today.
Just keep the money train running on time.
Kyle's mobility is the key. Turner should find more creative ways to use it, not that I'm advocating for the read option.

I think Kyle may surprise people who thought he was not a good choice to bring in here by Ron. He could turn out to be better than many think. On this list, he was ranked #5 behind #4 - Jackson, #3 - Goff, #2 - Watson and #1 - Mahomes. It's also interesting to see where the QB's on this list are today compared to where they were when this list was made last year (2019).
I think Kyle Allen could turn out to be at least a Kirk Cousins level QB if not better.

>>Though he doesn't possess the star power of Minshew, Carolina Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen has quietly been one of the best young quarterbacks in the league dating back to last season. He's gone 4-0 as a starter in relief of Cam Newton, and not just because he has a quality team around him.
Allen is accurate and decisive with his throws, and he has enough mobility to make even premier pass-rushers like J.J. Watt look a little silly.
Though he may not become the new face of the Panthers franchise, Allen has shown all the tools needed to be a future franchise quarterback. Through three games this season, he's thrown for 674 yards with five touchdowns and zero interceptions. For his four starts, he has an impressive passer rating of 108.8.
The reality is that Carolina isn't going to rush Newton back from his foot injury, largely because they have a winning quarterback in Allen.<<

He certainly has the rest of the season to show us what he's got.
Thinking Skins
So my question is what are we going to do about his contract? Is he an ERFA again this year, or do we have to tag him when he wins us the division? Is this Kirk Cousins all over again where we snub him with a $15 mil offer but he wants $25?

Yep he is an ERFA again in 2021 and a RFA in 2022. This is why I didn't have issues giving up a 5th for him. You have him cheap for 3 years in total

Agree. I think he'd only accrued one season at CAR hadn't he. Really good trade value on balance.

Looking pretty smart by Rivera and Co. to trade for Allen in the offseason.

So can you educate me on ERFAs, are their deals set in stone or is it still negotiable?
Can we see this guy performs against decent teams before talking about contract extensions????

Hey! Dallas is a Super Bowl quality team. One of the chief contenders to win it all. Everyone on ESPN said it! Often.
Allen is a below-average arm (well below Haskins in arm strength). He's much more mobile and escapes pressure far better. He's got better touch too. I think he's a more mobile Rex.
My fear (and I'm honestly conflicted about this) is that Allen really does look good this year and we go into the draft with the idea that he is a viable option going into next year and then he embarrasses himself next year and shows he is not the one. I think he deserves a shot to be a franchise guy, especially if he's leading us to wins.
My normal attitude is that I don't like first round QBs because of all the hype they get and all the speculation that goes into their success or failure. I can remember wanting to trade for a AJ McCarron or Bethard or Mullens after their early games (I didn't want to give up much for these guys) and giving them a chance to succeed and grow as a starter. That seems to be exactly what we are doing and its right up my alley.
My other philosophy is to spend a mid to low round pick on a Kirk Cousins or Russell Wilson or Dak Prescott. Now obviously those are the ones who are the big names who made it. But I was for Grier and Finley a few years back, as well as Rypien. I liked Mason Rudolph and Kyle Lauletta the year before that. The question is are any of these guys playmakers or much of an upgrade over Allen. I don't know who the guys are in this year's draft and I know there may be some intrigueing names who drop because they took the year off (who is the guy from GA?).
But in the end this may be the best thing for our team because it allows us to run with Allen as long as we can and just keep building the team and if the next guy comes in and doesn't look good we stay with Allen, but if we are able to draft a young guy who shows potential we can make it into a situation where he's not under any pressure to come in and "take the throne" like they're doing in Miami.
Plus, if we don't draft a QB, we can get a LT (I don't want one mainly because we've had top LTs for the past 20 years and still sucked) or a WR or a DB or a S or a MLB, a bunch of areas where we could help to build a stronger team.
Part of me would embrace this. Unless we get one of the sure things, I'd much rather build the line. Even with a sure thing, I kind of want a line first anyway. We've seen what bad lines do to rookie QBs.

This. Even if hes not the one, if our plan is to make this team a contender we need to draft heavy on Oline and Defense, and spend on skill positions until we have a car that even Allen can drive. IF at that point its determined that the squad is GOOD and he is holding them back, you draft a guy that wont in whatever round you can get him. You could draft a Kirk Cousins and support him with a good team around him and make it work. Or you could draft a QB every year until you hit on a Wilson. Either way you need a squad around a guy and if Allen is giving you a chance to 1) compete and 2) actually see what the rest of the team has.....he needs to be the guy to build it around until you have a better, cheaper option for long term.
Hes exactly what you want out of a late round QB when you are in the spot we are in if you ask me. Though i have a talent for deluding myself so maybe im wrong lol
Its so interesting that all the complaints since Allen has been starting have been about his arm because this was one of his scouting reports from college in 2018:
https://www.underdogdynasty.com/2018/4/13/17219366/2018-nfl-draft-prospect-profile-kyle-allen-qb-houston-cougars-texas-a-m-aggies
STRENGTHS: There's a reason why he was a top recruit coming out of high school: his arm. Allen possesses a strong arm and is capable of making any throw. He made a number of throws that were put where only his receiver could get it, including many deep shots placed perfectly. His arm strength also allows him to make off balance throws when pressure is in his face. When he's given the time to make a play downfield, he can make accurate throws at any level. Even when pressured, he still showed the ability to make tough throws and not panic.
Allen doesn't get too antsy in the pocket, and his body seems calm when scanning the field. There isn't a ton of wasted movement in his throwing motion. He does a good job of squaring his shoulders when rolling out, but also isn't afraid to tuck and run. He doesn't have blazing speed, but has enough to gain yards when in trouble.
WEAKNESSES: Everything Allen needs to work on is between his ears.....it's all mental. There are times when he tries to force things or lets his eyes move a defender into the throwing lane. Accuracy downfield was an issue at times. While he can handle some pressure, it seemed like there were long stretches where he had to deal with constant pressure. That's not his fault, but it did lead to inaccurate throws, quick bailouts, and turnovers.
Allen had the task of replacing two stars at Texas A&M and Houston, and seemed to take it in stride. Inconsistent play is something that he's going to have to fix if he wants to be a pro. Many thought that he would (and should) transfer to another school to play his final year of college, but going pro may have been his best option. Now, he can focus on his game, and finding a team that will sign him as a free agent. He has the physical tools to be a good quarterback, but it all comes down to the mental side of the game.

I think he's shown enough to be our #2. Sign him for backup money and check one need off the list.
The guy is 97% not our starter in the future.
I'm actually looking more into this because I'm really intrigued into whether Allen could be our franchise QB. He has the intangibles and seems to be growing well. I'm thinking about two of his passes yesterday. The first is the floater he threw to Logan Thomas. That was so ugly that it made me strictly question his arm strength and his abilities at this level. It looked so bad that it reminded me of Colt McCoy's throw to Pierre Garcon against the Cowboys so many moons ago. That said, there was also the deep pass to Garcon, which hit him in stride and seemed effortless. So that second throw makes me believe that he does indeed have the arm strength but maybe not Dwayne level arm strength where he can throw deep balls off his back foot or something.
I'm reading articles from Carolina last year and seeing references to both "his arm strength" and "his lack of arm strength" so its somewhat puzzling.
He doesn't have elite arm strength or bad arm strength.
His mechanics are inconsistent and he tries to make throws off schedule. That's usually when you see him make a really nice play or a really bad one, too.
The Thomas throw he was being pressured, saw Thomas last second, threw off his back foot and I think his other foot was like a foot and a half in the air. Resulted in Lob City.
The throw to McLaurin (who I assume you meant when you said Garçon) he had better mechanics. Even then he doesn't have a rocket, but he has adequate arm strength when his form is right.
2 minutes ago, KDawg said:
Even this statement puts him into a different category than Colt McCoy for me. In my opinion McCoy didn't have NFL Arm strength. I remember the pass from McCoy to Doctson in the game where Smith broke his leg, that ball was short. There should have been DPI on that call, but if McCoy had put a little more on that ball Doctson could have caught it. I think over the next few weeks we will see what Allen has in his arm and that will be a big factor in terms of his ceiling.
As we were saying with Haskins, I think mechanics are correctable, particularly if he's putting in time. One thing about Allen that worries me is that he left Texas A&M and Houston and now Carolina when he was challenged. Its not always his choice but why does he keep leaving places and never seems to be the chosen one (even here if we draft a QB next year)?
Understandable.
No, I was comparing the Thomas throw to McCoy's pass to Garcon years back. The pass to TMac was very nice and gave me hope that he could make all the throws of an NFL QB. And I really wonder about how Allen compares to some of the other QBs in the league, like Case Keenum or Goff or the guy in SF. Who are the best guys who don't have the elite NFL arms?
JoggingGod
Allen is a good backup at best. Don't fool yourselves. We need a QB.

Developing a Complete Student Code of Conduct

by Derrick Meador
Derrick Meador, M.Ed., is the superintendent for Jennings Public Schools in Oklahoma. He previously served as a school principal and middle school science teacher.
Many schools incorporate a student code of conduct that they expect their students to follow. It should mirror the overall mission and vision of the school. A well-written student code of conduct should be simple and cover basic expectations that each student should meet. It should entail the essential elements that if followed will lead to student success. In other words, it should serve as the blueprint that allows every student to succeed.
A well-written student code of conduct is simple in nature including only the most critical expectations. The needs and limiting factors in each school are different. As such, schools must develop and adopt a student code of conduct that is tailored to their specific needs.
Developing an authentic and meaningful student code of conduct should become a school-wide effort that involves school leaders, teachers, parents, students, and community members. Every stakeholder should have input as to what should be included in the student code of conduct. Providing others a voice leads to buy-in and gives the student code of conduct more authenticity. The student code of conduct should be evaluated every year and changed whenever it is necessary to fit the ever-shifting needs of the school community.
Sample Student Code of Conduct
While attending school during regular hours or during school-sponsored activities, students are expected to follow these basic rules, procedures, and expectations:
Your first priority at school is to learn. Avoid distractions that interfere with or are counter-intuitive to that mission.
Be in the assigned place with appropriate materials, ready to work at the designated time that class begins.
Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself and never intentionally harm another student.
Use school appropriate language and behavior at all times while maintaining friendly and courteous behavior.
Be polite and respectful to everyone including students, teachers, administrators, support staff, and visitors.
Follow individual teacher instructions, class rules, and expectations at all times.
Do not be a bully. If you see someone being bullied, intervene by telling them to stop or immediately report it to school personnel.
Do not become a distraction for others. Give every other student the opportunity to maximize their potential. Encourage your fellow students. Never tear them down.
School attendance and participation in class are an essential part of the educational process. Regular attendance at school is necessary for student success. Furthermore, it allows students to achieve the maximum possible benefits from their educational experience. All students are encouraged to be present and prompt. School attendance is the responsibility of both parents and students.
Represent yourself in a manner that you will be proud of in ten years. You only get one opportunity to get life right. Take advantage of the opportunities you have at school. They will help you be successful throughout your life.

Аполло́ний Траллийский (II—I вв. до н. э.) — древнегреческий скульптор родосской школы.

Аполлоний и его брат Тавриск, сыновья Артемидора из Тралл, были усыновлены родосцем Менекратом и являются представителями местной скульптурной школы, известной как «пейзажисты».

Аполлоний и Тавриск известны как авторы выполненной из цельного блока мрамора скульптуры «Казнь Дирки». Скульптура, созданная около 50 г. до н. э., изображает братьев Амфиона и Зефа, привязывающих к рогам дикого быка мучительницу своей матери Дирку. Согласно Плинию, скульптура была перевезена с Родоса в Рим, где оказалась в коллекции Азиния Поллиона, известного ценителя искусства. Скульптура, считающаяся классическим образцом позднего эллинистического искусства (и, возможно, представляющая собой авторское переосмысление более ранней работы скульптора Филеса), стала образцом для многочисленных копий и подражаний, включая геммы и фреску в Помпеях, а также изображение на лидийских монетах, чеканившихся около 200 года н. э. Одна из мраморных копий, известная по одному из мест хранения как «Фарнезский бык», найдена в сильно повреждённом состоянии в 1546 году в термах Каракаллы и отреставрирована. В настоящее время находится в Археологическом музее Неаполя.

#Russia: Mufti of the North Caucasus supports #FGM for all Russian women
EU Reporter Correspondent | August 24, 2016	| 0 Comments
The Chairman of the Coordinating Center of Muslims of the North Caucasus Ismail Berdiyev supports women's circumcision. "It is necessary to make circumcision to all women to reduce lechery, to reduce sexuality," the mufti told an Interfax-Religion correspondent on Wednesday (24 August).
He pointed out that the circumcision is practiced in some towns and villages in Dagestan.
According to Berdiyev, Islam does not oblige circumcision for women.
"But it is necessary to reduce women's sexuality. And if it is applied to all women, it will be very good. The Almighty created a woman to give birth to children, to bring them up. And it (circumcision – IF) has nothing to do with it. It does not prevent women from birth-giving. But it will reduce lechery," the interviewee of the agency resumed.
However, a Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia official believes that female circumcision will not solve the problem of lechery, but accepts the problem of growing immorality in society."On one hand, I understand it that a great number of temptations surrounds a believer. They are temptations for a believer, for a non-believer it is just reality," Boruch Gorin told Interfax-Religion.
"It can compared to alpinism: people are climbing up to the top of the mountain. If the task is to reach the top, you can get there by a helicopter. But people do not want to go there by helicopters. It is not about the aim, it is about efforts. And these attempts legally or in some other way to eliminate temptations, seem to me as this helicopter platform on the top of the mountain. Many totalitarian theocracies try to achieve it, and we see that they do not succeed in it, at a certain stage people start rolling down and die," Gorin said.
The circumcision of women, more commonly referred to as female genital mutilation (FGM), has been condemned and classified as a violation of human rights, as well as a grave health risk, by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the United Nations Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), and the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) (1), along with countless other NGO's and civil society organization working to end this barbaric phenomenon.In addition to the health risks, the rational put forward by Mufti Ismail Berdiyev, that women were put on earth for child-rearing and that they should be mutilated to curb their sexuality, plays into the antiquated and deluded trope of woman as mother/sexual temptress. This has the sole purpose of promulgating the repression women. Women are human beings with the full spectrum of rights that men have, and are not mere objects to be used solely for the procreation of the human race.
There is also no religious basis for FGM and any attempt to justify the act of mutilating a woman's genitals in the name of religion (or any other reason) is unfounded.

Saturday, April 8, 2017, 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 noon: Saddfleback Butte State Park, Antelope Valley: Difficulty: easy to moderate. Leader: Mickey Long.
This trip will explore the plants and ecology of the central Antelope Valley. Mickey plans to discuss the ecosystem as a whole, plants, birds, reptiles and desert ecology, with emphasis on vegetation. We will hope the rains were sufficient to provide for wildflowers, but desert plants are interesting regardless. We may hike part of the trail (2.5 mi.) to the top of the butte.
Directions: Saddleback Butte is located approximately 17 miles East of Lancaster. Take the 14 (Antelope Valley Fwy) north to exit at East Avenue "J" in Lancaster. Travel east on Avenue J to the junction with 170th St. east. Meet at 8:30 a.m. along the dirt shoulder at the junction of Ave. J and 170th. Water and toilets are located near the picnic area at Saddeleback Butte. Wear good sturdy shoes or boots, a hat, bring water and snacks and a lunch if you wish to join us at the covered picnic areas. A per car entrance fee $6 is required.


Home Health & Food Why You Should Drink Coconut Water?
First, I'm going to tell you why coconut water is hot right now. Then I'm going to tell you why you should drink coconut water?
Odds are, if you are from North America, Europe, or Africa, you're asking whether or not you should buy into the coconut water fad. I mean, Coca Cola just bought a stake in Zico and Pepsi bought a stake in Brazil's top coconut water company, Amacoco. What's the deal with coconut water?
Well, first of all, It IS NOT a fad. It's been popular in Asia, the Caribbean, and South America for centuries. The problem is that it has a short shelf life. It oxidizes quickly and typically has a shelf life of 3-5 days, making it hard to export to foreign countries.
However, new technologies increase coconut water's shelf life up to 10 months! Now it's practical for companies to package it and ship it to places that have never been exposed to coconut water! Drinking it is safe as it is pasteurized to remove harmful bacteria before it is packaged and exported from its source countries. Coconut water is becoming popular right now because it can be exported so easily and is great for your body.
It helps you lose fat. Plain water helps detoxify the body and helps to keep your metabolism up. Its nutrient helps people who exercise regularly. It is high in potassium, so it helps you work out longer without cramping up and helps your muscles recover faster after working out. It has other nutrients like magnesium and sodium, which are often lost during vigorous exercise. So drinking coconut water after working out will help replenish these nutrients and help you stay hydrated.
Since coconut water has a sweet taste and is low in calories, it makes a great alternative to drinking soda and even orange juice. By replacing soda with it, you can cut calories, thus helping you lose weight, while still enjoying a sweet drink.
Remember, coconut water is not a fad, it's been around for centuries! Recently it has been made available to the whole world. If you have any doubts, you should try and drink some C water because it is packed with nutrients, helps promote weight loss, and tastes sweet!

ABOUT HEMPOIL
What is Hempoil – Cannabisoil
High quality cannabis oil can be used in many ways medicinally and can be used for many different conditions.
Cannabis oil is a thick, sticky, resinous substance made up of cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, that is extracted from the cannabis plant (Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica). Cannabis oil is a cannabis based product obtained by separating the resins from cannabis flowers using a solvent extraction process. Cannabis oil can also be known as marijuana oil, Rick Simpson Oil (RSO), Full extract cannbais oil (FECO), hash oil, dabs, shatter, or wax.
Cannabis oil is the most potent of three main cannabis products, which are the actual cannabis flower (marijuana), resin (hashish), and oil (cannabis oil). Cannabis oil is the most concentrated form of the three main cannabis products. That is what makes cannabis oil the most potent.
Cannabis Oil produced and sold by "dealers" can have many contaminants and many times will have minimal amounts or no THC or CBD in them at all. Most of the time cannabis oil available on the street should be avoided for medicinal uses such as treating cancer. It's always better to make your own oil or to have someone you trust make your oil. This helps assure a very pure, high quality oil is obtained. If you know who made your oil, you can better know what you are getting in your oil.
High quality cannabis oil can be used in many ways medicinally and can be used for many different conditions. Cannabis Oil can be orally ingested, vaporized into the lungs, used as a suppository or applied topically. You can also mix your oil with creams or salves for beauty treatments and other external uses.
Some of the conditions cannabis oil has been used for include: cancer, diabetes, crohn's disease, gout, pain relief, Glaucoma, Opioid Dependence, treating alcohol abuse, epilepsy, psoriasis, anorexia, asthma, adrenal disease, inflammatory bowel disease, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, pain, migraines, Dravet syndrome, Doose syndrome, Multiple sclerosis.
Cannabis oil also posses antioxidant properties. This property makes cannabis oil useful in the treatment and prevention of wide variety of diseases, such as ischemic, age-related inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Cannabis oil may also have a use as neuroprotectants for such things like limiting neurological damage following a stroke or head trauma. It can also be used in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia.
Based on history cannabis is believed to have originated from Central Asia. Cannabis is one of the oldest plant medicines known to man. It is difficult to trace the beginnings of cannabis use use by humans because it was cultivated and consumed long before the appearance of writing. According to archeological discoveries, cannabis has been known in China since the Neolithic period, around 4000 BC.
The Story Of Rick Simpson
Rick Simpson Hemp Medicine
From the time he was 12 years old, Rick Simpson just wanted a job so he could make some money. He was smart enough to get by in school without having to open a book, so education wasn't something he took very seriously. After getting in trouble for supplying his ninth-grade teacher with a case of beer as a Christmas present, he dropped out rather than face the consequences from school administrators. At age 16, he went to work in the steel mills in Ontario, Canada. Two years later, he moved back to his hometown in Spring Hill, Nova Scotia, and got married. Before long, he had a job maintaining boilers for All Saints' Hospital. Then his cousin was diagnosed with cancer.
"They found a little bump on his rib cage and cut him open," Simpson says. "He went from 200 pounds down to about 130. In 1972, we were having a drink and he collapsed right in front of me. I knew damn well it had to be the cancer coming back. They gave him six months to live, and he made it through three. I was 22 years old and didn't know anyone who had died from cancer. He was down to about 50 pounds when he died on November 18, 1972. I used to shave him, and it was like trying to shave a skeleton."
Two years after his cousin died, Simpson was listening to his car radio when he heard the results of a medical study at the University of Virginia claiming that THC reduced brain tumors in mice. "I stopped my car and just stared at the radio," Simpson recalls. "At the time, I didn't smoke pot or anything, although most of my friends did. The guy on the radio was laughing like a fool. Like this was all a big joke. I never heard anything more about it, so I thought it must be a joke."
It was no joke. The Medical College of Virginia had been funded by the National Institutes of Health to find evidence that marijuana damaged the human immune system. Imagine their surprise when the results came back indicating the opposite: Instead of hastening the death of mice implanted with brain cancer, marijuana dramatically slowed the growth of their tumors and extended their lives. The DEA quickly shut down this promising research. According to Jack Herer, two years later, President Gerald Ford would put an end to all public cannabis research and grant exclusive rights to major pharmaceutical companies to develop synthetic THC.
Fast-forward to December 1997: Simpson had been working at the hospital for 25 years and was covering asbestos on the boiler pipes with duct tape. He was using an aerosol spray that allowed the tape to stick to the asbestos. He didn't realize, however, that this spray was capable of causing a temporary nervous-system shutdown if the fumes were inhaled too deeply. And that's exactly what happened.
"Luckily for me, the boilers were shut off, or I would have been burnt to nothing," he says. "I fell backwards off the ladder and struck my head on a steel loading ring. Of course, I don't remember any of that. When I came to, I was hung up in the pipes by the side of the boiler."
Simpson slowly made his way back to his office and fumbled around for over an hour trying to call for help, but he couldn't even make the phone work. Finally, another engineer showed up for his shift and took Simpson to the emergency room. When asked his name, Simpson had no response. He was taken to the trauma center and put on oxygen.
"It felt like my head was going to explode," he says. "I remember it looked like people were moving funny — they were kind of jerky. I told the doctor, and he just kind of shook his head."
After three hours in the trauma center, the sensation went away and Simpson was told to go home. He doesn't remember much about the next few days, including the drive home, but somehow he made it. When his next scheduled shift came up on Christmas Eve, Simpson reported for work even though he was still feeling woozy. At around 10pm that night, while still at work, Simpson's head began ringing. The ringing got louder and louder. By 3am, he was back in the emergency room seeking treatment. When the nurse checked his blood pressure, she was so alarmed that she immediately gave him a pill and called a doctor. The ringing never went away.
"At lower levels, it's about 93 decibels," he says, "which is about the same as having a lawn mower running in your living room. I became very short-tempered. They tried every possible drug, but nothing worked. It got so bad I wanted to shoot myself."
Within a year, Simpson was having trouble remembering anything because he was taking 1,000 milligrams of Tegretol a day. Reading was out of the question, because by the time he got to the end of a sentence, he'd already forgotten what the sentence was about. Then, one day, he watched an episode of Dr. David Suzuki's The Nature of Things, Canada's longest-running documentary series. The episode was about the enormous promise of marijuana as a medicine.
"I went right back to my doctor and asked if marijuana would help," Simpson recalls. "Of course, he told me it was bad for the lungs and still under study. So I went out and got some pot and tried it, and it worked better than anything they were giving me. So I went back again and asked for a prescription, but they still wouldn't give it to me."
By 2001, Simpson was a chemical zombie from all the drugs he'd been taking. But he was still determined to get legal medical access to marijuana, so he asked his doctor: "What would you think if I took the plant and made an essential oil, and then ingested the oil rather than smoked it?" The doctor agreed that this would be a more medicinal way to take it, but still refused to write a prescription allowing Simpson legal access to the plant. A few months later, the doctor informed him that they had tried every possible treatment and nothing had worked, so Simpson was now on his own. He decided to stop taking pharmaceuticals and start eating cannabis oil exclusively.
"I didn't really believe the hemp oil could bring me back the way it did," he recalls. "But once the system gave up on me, I just continued making oil and taking it on a regular basis. The ringing was still there, but now I could live with it. Within a few months, people saw the difference. The oil controlled the pain, my blood pressure, and it allowed me to sleep. I lost weight and looked 20 years younger."
For many years, Simpson had lived with three suspicious spots on his skin — two on his face and one on his chest. "Yes, this looks like skin cancer," his doctor said upon examining them. In January 2003, the doctor surgically removed the spot near Simpson's eye and sent it in for a biopsy. A week later, Simpson was sitting at home when he recalled the 1974 news report about THC and cancer. "I knew I was supposed to go back and get the other two spots removed," Simpson says. "When I removed the bandage from the spot they had removed, I noticed it looked red and infected, and there was pus coming out of it. That's when the news report from 30 years earlier kicked in. I looked at the oil and I thought, 'Well, this is full of THC, and I've probably got skin cancer.' I put a little oil on two band-aids and covered the two little bumps. Four days later, I took the band-aids off and both bumps had disappeared."
Within a few weeks, the cancer that had been surgically removed reappeared. So Simpson tried the same treatment and got the same results: Four days after treating himself with the cannabis oil, the red bump was gone and the skin had completely healed.
Obviously, Simpson was overjoyed by this discovery, and he could hardly wait to share this information with his doctor, who had for so long resisted marijuana as a treatment for his head injury. So, after picking up his pathology report, he mentioned to the receptionist (who was also the doctor's wife) that he had something important to discuss with her husband. "I treated my skin cancers with hemp oil — " he began. But he'd barely gotten the words "hemp oil" out, he recalls, before the receptionist went ballistic: "The doctor will not go there!" she yelled. "The doctor will not prescribe this!"
"I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone," Simpson says now. "I'd just told her I cured my cancer, and she should have been interested. It was freaky."
Simpson soon made a visit to his mother's house. For years, she had suffered from weeping psoriasis. He applied the oil to her infected skin, and within a few weeks the sores were healed and the scales had disappeared.
Thus began the long journey of Rick Simpson and his miraculous cannabis-oil medicine. The fact that Simpson has always given this oil freely and without any charge has greatly enhanced his already-legendary status. "In the beginning, a lot of people didn't want to put the oil on their skin," he recalls. "In the first year, I treated 50 to 60 people for various skin conditions. The following year, I was treating a man with a melanoma cancer on his left cheekbone. It had been removed five times. It was a nasty-looking thing — you could put your finger right into the hole. I told him I could heal it, but of course he didn't believe me. Three weeks later, it was completely healed. And that's when he mentioned to me he had glaucoma. I said, 'Well, hemp is the best treatment for glaucoma.' He was the first one to start eating the oil other than me. At that time, he also had arthritis and had to sleep with a pillow between his knees. About two weeks after taking the oil, he stopped sleeping with a pillow, and his ocular pressure was already way down. When I started giving him the oil, the pressure was around 31 or 32. Last time I checked, it was 13 or 14."
Once Simpson started giving people the oil to take internally, it was only a matter of time before he tried it with cancer patients. Simpson became increasingly confident of the oil's healing properties after it was successfully used by several people with internal cancers. Even patients with Stage 4 terminal cancer — people who had been given only weeks to live — were miraculously brought back to health. Not only did the oil heal diabetic ulcers with a topical application, it also cured diabetes and allowed some patients to stop using insulin. Simpson kept treating patients until they got better, but he soon determined that a 60-gram treatment was necessary for serious illnesses. The oil is eaten as quickly as possible, starting with small doses until a resistance is established. Eating a gram of cannabis oil a day can be disorienting, but many adapt rapidly to the pharmacological effects.
After Simpson successfully treated a woman with cervical cancer, she visited the local chapter of the Royal Canadian Legion to share her story. The Legion is a veterans' organization whose lodges function as unofficial town halls in remote areas of Canada. Rick Dwyer, the bartender at the Legion, was so fascinated by the woman's story that he asked her to invite Simpson to drop by.
"I met Rick in 2005," Dwyer recalls now. "He told me he could cure skin cancer and diabetic ulcers and other skin diseases. I didn't believe him, but I could see he was sincere, so I asked if I could go with him to visit some of the people he was treating. So I interviewed his patients, and there was no doubt there was something to what he was doing."
Before long, Simpson was treating members of Dwyer's Legion chapter, and the cannabis oil continued to show successful results against a variety of chronic illnesses and infections. As a past president of the organization, Dwyer knew the Legion's mission — to serve veterans and their dependents, promote remembrance, and act in the service of Canada — and he felt strongly that this included a responsibility to share the information about Simpson's oil with as many people as possible. Dwyer contacted the local public-health authorities and asked them to investigate. He made calls to elected officials.
"Nobody would even come look at the evidence," Dwyer says. "I told the zone commander, 'People are suffering, and this stuff works.' But I just kept running into brick wall after brick wall." The Royal Canadian Mounted Police had already raided Simpson's property in 2003, after hearing reports that he was circulating cannabis oil. They seized all the plants in his backyard and confiscated his oil, but no charges were filed. In 2005, Simpson voluntarily returned to the RCMP office to drop off scientific information supporting his treatment, as well as a videotape containing interviews with patients. He made it clear to the RCMP that he intended to keep helping people who had nowhere else to turn. He continued to get plants to make the oil by working out trades whereby local marijuana farmers brought in their buds and split the oil they generated with Simpson. Most growers use shake to make water hash or hash oil, but Simpson is adamant that the best colas are necessary for making the best medicine for cancer. He will not make oil from shake unless it's intended for topical application only. He also likes indica-dominant strains, which means that although he prefers the term "hemp oil" for a variety of reasons, his medicine consists of the essential oil derived from flowering female Cannabis indica plants — i.e., THC-laden "hash" or "cannabis" oil.
Shortly after Simpson dropped off his video with the RCMP, the Mounties returned and seized 1,620 plants from his backyard. This time he was arrested and charged with marijuana possession, cultivation and trafficking.
Meanwhile, Dwyer's father had checked into the hospital with Stage 4 lung cancer. "He also had a bad heart and sugar diabetes," Dwyer says. "I remember telling him, 'Dad, don't take the chemotherapy — if you take it, you're dead. Go to Rick and get some oil and your chances of survival will be a lot better.' I remember my father looking at me, and what was he thinking? 'My son has no medical background.' Who's he going to trust?
"After his first chemotherapy treatment, he swelled up real bad. His legs swelled; his arms were full of fluid. He was suffering horribly. The doctors told us he wasn't going to make it. He talked to us and said the things a father says to his children when he knows he's going to die. I just kept thinking about the oil. I knew it worked on skin cancers and diabetic ulcers, but I wasn't sure it would work internally. So I called Rick and said my dad only had 24 hours to live, 48 at the most. Rick didn't know if it was too late. I think my dad wanted to die, he was suffering so horribly. It was like he was breathing out of a straw. I had a tube of oil in my pocket, and I remember thinking, 'I'll probably get arrested if I give this to him.' I asked the nurse to give him the oil, but she refused. The doctors didn't want to be responsible. So I put some oil on a cracker, and my father ate it. Then I left the hospital, and my brothers stayed on the death watch."
When Dwyer returned the next morning, something truly miraculous had taken place: His father had slept soundly for the first time in weeks, and he continued to sleep throughout the day. When he finally woke up, he had a smile on his face. "I thought to myself, 'My God, he's got a chance, but I've got to get him out of this hospital,'" Dwyer says. An ambulance took his father home, and he continued eating the oil for the next few months. "He was breathing better and didn't want the oxygen anymore. The oil healed two sores on his legs. The fluid went out of his arms and legs. But what really shocked me was that his prostate was shot, and one day he asked the nurse to take out the catheter. She said he'd have to go back to the hospital to have it put back in, and that would hurt like hell. And I looked at him and said, 'Dad, can you pee?' And he said, 'Yes!' I told the nurse to take it out, and I watched him pee like a racehorse." Then something even more remarkable happened: "The nurse came to check his lungs one day and said, 'Clear as a bell.'"
After that, says Dwyer, "I decided to hold a meeting at the Legion and invite the politicians, the police and the media so they could meet the people who had been cured of cancer and other diseases. The meeting was just supposed to look at the evidence so they could draw their own conclusions."
But on the day that the meeting was scheduled to be held, Maritime Command changed the locks on his Legion chapter's doors and informed Dwyer that his rights and privileges had been revoked. The Legion hall would remain closed until a new executive committee could be formed. An anonymous phone caller to Dwyer's wife said ominously: "Tell Rick he's getting in over his head." She took the call as a veiled threat and broke down.
Dwyer is unable to recount this part of the story without breaking down himself. "I tell [Simpson], 'There's many a night when I wish I'd never met you,'" he says, wiping tears from his eyes. "'I wish you hadn't shown me what you showed me, because this has been a terrible burden on me' — especially when I meet people with cancer. I try to explain this medicine to them, but people are so close-minded. They talk about swine flu killing people? My God, cancer and diabetes are killing millions across the world."
Rick Simpson's trial in September of 2007 was a carefully stage-managed affair. Simpson had obtained 48 sworn affidavits from patients, but the presiding judge decided that no med- ical testimony would be allowed. "I had people cured of terminal cancer sitting in the court waiting to testify — they wouldn't let them on the stand! They wouldn't let me introduce any scientific evidence. I defended myself, and when I cross-examined the Mounties, first thing I did was hold up a copy of an interview I'd given to the Spring Hill Record from September of 2004, one year before I was charged. It was a full-page article detailing everything I was doing. Would a criminal have a full-page article in the newspaper detailing his activities? Then they brought out their expert. So I said, 'You are a marijuana expert for the RCMP, correct? What do you know about hemp?' He said, 'Nothing, because hemp and marijuana are different plants.' I got out the book and read the law from 1923, which says nothing about 'marijuana,' but does call it 'Indian hemp.' So I shredded him—I beat them hands down, even without the medical testimony."
The jury needed only three hours to deliberate. But when Simpson was called back into the courtroom for the verdict, he noticed that the crown prosecutor wasn't in the room. A witness later told him that the prosecutor was seen departing the jury room right before the jury was brought back into the courtroom. It proceeded to find him guilty on all counts. "So I got in touch with the judge, but he wouldn't do a damn thing. They can tamper with juries, but not us. Then he called me into the side room be- fore sentencing and said, 'Rick, the truth of the matter is that the government wants the researchers to bring this out.' I looked at him and said, 'If one of your kids was diagnosed with cancer tomorrow, what would you be looking for?' And down went his head. So we go back into the courtroom, and he says: 'In my 34 years in the legal system, I've never seen a case like this. There was no criminal intent.' He admitted the scientific evidence exists to back up what I was doing. Now I was facing 12 years in jail, but he gave me a $2,000 fine and didn't even put me on probation, because he was get- ting a little bit of conscience. One time I used to be proud to be a Canadian; now that word means nothing to me."
Thanks to an Internet video titled Run From the Cure, which Simpson produced with filmmaker Christian Laurette, hundreds of thou- sands of people have been introduced to his cannabis-oil treatment. Early on, Jack Herer became one of Simpson's biggest supporters. "I first heard about Rick five or six years ago," says Herer. "I didn't believe him, and I knew all the cancer and THC studies that have been done — rats with all sorts of cancers were 100% cured and lived 40 percent longer than rats who had nothing at all." But when he looked at the human evidence, Herer changed his mind. "Now Rick has treated over a thou- sand patients — and there are others like him, like Ron Smith in Kentucky, distributing oil to terminal-cancer patients and having similar results. And Rick can't even come to the United States because of his conviction."
Unfortunately, not everyone is saved by the oil. While the HT photographer was taking pictures for this story, Simpson received word that one of his patients had died after only two days of treatment. Simpson estimates that his success rate with terminal-cancer patients is about 70%. "The ones that can't be saved are usually the ones who've had the most chemotherapy and radiation, or wait too long to start the treatment," he says. "They have to be able to stay alive long enough for the oil to start to work." In fact, most patients who undergo chemotherapy die from the treatment, not the disease. But because chemotherapy is a multibillion dollar industry that supports some of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world, it's unlikely these corporations will give up this profit stream without a struggle, no matter how many dead bodies pile up.
But the most amazing development in this story took place in April of 2009. Led by Manuel Guzman, a team of biochemists at the School of Biology at Complutense University in Madrid investigated the use of cannabinoids in treating cancer. Although similar investigations have been conducted on lab rats and tissue cultures many times since the original 1974 study in Virginia, this time the researchers used actual cancer patients and analyzed their results with methods used to gauge the progress of chemotherapy treatments. Their findings were published in the April 2009 issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation and are available free online.
The Spanish researchers had two patients suffering from recurrent glioblastoma multiforme, a fast-moving brain cancer. Using electron microscopes to analyze brain tissue taken before and after a 26- to 30-day THC treatment, the researchers found that the THC had eliminated cancer cells while protecting the surrounding healthy ones. The psychoactive chemical in marijuana promoted the death of brain-cancer cells by help- ing them feed on themselves in a process known as autophagy.
Strangely, little mention of this groundbreaking study made it into the national news. Instead, the media continues to run gutter-science reports on marijuana's cancer-causing effects, even though regular users of marijuana continue to have lower cancer rates than non-users.
While working on this story, I got a call from longtime cannabis activist Joe Barton, who had been providing free oil to a throat-cancer patient in Woodstock, NY. After Barton delivered 25 grams of oil — nearly half the treatment — his home was raided by an Ulster County drug task force. The police confiscated all of the plants and oil, which ended the treatment prematurely. Six months later, the patient died. "The oil was working," says Barton. "His neck tumor had gone down, and he was talking normally again."

To Boldly Stay: Essays on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is a collection of essays about Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Despite the fact that Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ended over twenty-five years ago, there has yet to be a stand-alone assessment of the series. This collection corrects that omission, examining what made Deep Space Nine so unique within the Star Trek universe, and how that uniqueness paved the way for an altogether new, entirely different vision for Star Trek. If the Star Trek slogan has always been "to boldly go where no one has gone before," then Deep Space Nine helped to bring in a new renaissance of serialized television that has become normal practice.
Furthermore, Deep Space Nine ushered in critical discussions on race, gender, and faith for the franchise, science fiction television and American lives. It relished in a vast cast of supporting characters that allowed for the investigation of psychosocial relationships – from familial issues to interpersonal and interspecies conflict to regional strife – that the previous Star Trek series largely overlooked. Essays explore how Deep Space Nine became the most richly complicated "sci-fi" series in the entire Star Trek pantheon.
Excerpts of copyrighted sources are included for review purposes only, without any intention of infringement.
The editors' suggestions for essay topics included patriotism versus terrorism, religion, sex and gender identity, family, and racism. Other topics suggested were essays on DS9's writing, editing, and music and the fiction published during the run of the series, as well as that which continues the story of DS9 and DS9's legacy. [1]

Heather Ann Wilson, née le  à Keene (New Hampshire), est une femme politique américaine. Membre du Parti républicain, elle représente le Nouveau-Mexique à la Chambre des représentants des États-Unis de 1998 à 2009 puis sert comme secrétaire à la Force aérienne des États-Unis dans l'administration Trump de 2017 à 2019.

Depuis août 2019, elle est la présidente de l'Université du Texas à El Paso.

Biographie

Carrière militaire et famille
Wilson entre à l'United States Air Force Academy en 1978, seulement trois ans après l'ouverture de l'université aux femmes. Elle en sort diplômée en 1982.

Titulaire d'une bourse Rhodes, elle obtient un doctorat à l'université d'Oxford puis travaille pour la mission américaine à l'OTAN. Elle sert dans l'Air Force jusqu'en 1989 puis travaille au sein du Conseil de sécurité nationale sous George H. W. Bush.

Elle est mariée au colonel de l'Air Force Jay Hone, avec qui elle a trois enfants.

Congrès des États-Unis
En 1998, elle est élue à la Chambre des représentants des États-Unis dans le  du Nouveau-Mexique, autour d'Albuquerque. Dans une circonscription plutôt démocrate, elle réussit à se faire réélire tous les deux ans, bien qu'elle soit une cible des démocrates nationaux. Au Congrès, elle sert au sein de la commission des forces armées, où elle s'oppose notamment à l'intervention américaine durant la guerre du Kosovo.

Lors des élections de 2008, elle se présente à la succession du républicain Pete Domenici au Sénat des États-Unis. Durant la primaire républicaine, elle affronte son collègue conservateur Steve Pearce. La campagne devient un affrontement entre l'aile conservatrice et l'aile modérée du parti. Peu avant l'élection, alors que Wilson est distancée par Pearce, Domenici lui apporte son soutien. Elle est toutefois battue par Pearce qui remporte la primaire avec environ 51 % des voix contre 49 % pour Wilson.

Après le Congrès
De  à , elle travaille comme consultante de plusieurs laboratoires financés par le gouvernement fédéral. Son travail est remis en cause lors de son audition au Sénat en 2017.

Wilson est à nouveau candidate lors élections sénatoriales de 2012. Elle remporte facilement la primaire républicaine, avec environ 70 % des suffrages face à Greg Sowards. Elle affronte alors le démocrate Martin Heinrich, qui lui a succédé à la Chambre des représentants. Dans un État qui vote de plus en plus en faveur des démocrates, notamment lors des élections présidentielles, les sondages donnent Wilson devancée de quelques points. Heinrich est élu sénateur avec 51 % des voix, Wilson n'en rassemblant que 45 %.

En 2013, elle prend la présidence de l'école des mines et de technologie du Dakota du Sud.

Secrétaire à la Force aérienne
En , elle est nommée par Donald Trump au poste de secrétaire à la Force aérienne des États-Unis. Sa nomination est confirmée par le Sénat le , par  contre 22. Elle pousse pour que la United States Space Force fasse partie de l'Air Force et ne soit pas une branche indépendante de l'armée, contrairement à son adjoint Patrick M. Shanahan. Elle obtient gain de cause.

Après la démission de James Mattis, son nom circule pour devenir secrétaire à la Défense. En , elle annonce qu'elle quittera l'administration Trump le  pour devenir présidente de l'université du Texas à El Paso.

Positions politiques
À la Chambre des représentants, Wilson est considérée comme une républicaine modérée.

Fantasist jailed for 39 years for murdering man during sex session
Jason Marshall, already serving 16 years for attacks in Italy, sentenced over torture and killing of Peter Fasoli in Northolt, London

A sadistic fantasist has been sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 39 years for murdering a vulnerable gay man in his home while posing as an MI5 agent.
Jason Marshall, 29, stripped Peter Fasoli, 58, and gagged and smothered him with cling film, before stealing cash and cards from the victim and setting light to his flat to cover his tracks in January 2013.
Sentencing Marshall, who was found guilty of murder and arson, at the Old Bailey on Tuesday, the judge, Nicholas Hilliard QC, said: "I am sure you were motivated by a desire to cause Mr Fasoli pain without his consent … You tortured him for so long because you enjoyed it so much.
"The dominant elements of your motivation for killing Mr Fasoli were robbery and sadism. I'm sure that you can have felt no remorse whatsoever for what you have done. On the contrary, you derived pleasure from it."
Marshall, dressed in a light pink shirt, was emotionless as the sentence was handed down.
He met Fasoli, a computer repairman who lived alone and had a heart condition, on Badoo, a dating website. Marshall, who has Asperger syndrome and epilepsy, arranged to meet him at Fasoli's flat in Northolt, west London, on the pretext of a bondage sex session, but with a plan of robbing him.
He stole £780 in the days after Fasoli's death and used the victim's bank card to buy a flight to Italy, where he killed a second man and attempted to murder another in Rome.
For nearly two years, Fasoli's death was believed to be an accident, until his nephew found hours of harrowing footage of his murder stored on Fasoli's hard drive. This was shown to jurors.
Marshall, from East Ham in east London, who was serving 16 years for the attacks in Italy, claimed to be suffering from amnesia.
Tomas Quinn, defending, said his client had a "bizarre" history of impersonating police officers and ticket inspectors.
Ed Brown QC, prosecuting, told the Old Bailey that Fasoli's sister Ann Murgatroyd had come to the court, but her son Christopher, who discovered the footage, was still too upset.
"Mrs Murgatroyd is here. The finding of the very distressing footage for her son, the nephew of the deceased, has plainly had a significant impact on both parties," he said.
"Her son has not felt able to come and he continues to be distressed by what he saw and therefore his part in this sorry affair."
Sally-Anne Russell from the Crown Prosecution Service said: "Jason Marshall murdered Peter Fasoli after being invited into his home. He suffocated him before lighting a fire to cover his tracks.
"If it hadn't been for Mr Fasoli's laptop footage, Marshall may have escaped justice. That video, which was extremely disturbing, clearly showed Marshall's true intentions and undermined any false account he could give."

Q: can't load gem in macruby I just started using MacRuby for a simple Mac Application, and I now have a problem.
For my project I use the rmagick gem.
I installed it as described with the command

sudo macgem install rmagick

Everything worked well, but the problem is that if I try to load it in my AppDelegate.rb file with require 'rmagick'. I get an error saying that there is no such file to load.
This is strange, because I noticed that if I first build the project normally and then build the deployment target, I'm able to execute the application without any problems.
It would be really cool if there would be a way to use the gem in the development target, because otherwise I need 30 seconds after each change I made which in total is really much xD

A: Yeah RMagick can be a tricky one:
require 'rubygems'
require 'RMagick'

is the answer. Also macruby apparently still requires the require 'rubygems'. But beware, the module you actually will be using is called Magick.
A short example:
require 'rubygems'

By Caroline Therrien. Photos by Victor Yin.
Alpha's very own physics team, "Alphagadro," (named after the famous scientist Amedeo Avogadro) competed in the 39th annual UBC Physics Olympics on March 4th, lead by Ms. Burnaci. This year, 72 teams from 69 schools across the province went head to head against each other in different events, labs, and challenges.

Star Search is one of Alpha's staple events for students, staff, and community members to witness the overwhelming talent at Alpha! Put on by the Offence, Alpha's humanitarian club run by Mrs. Borders, this yearly talent show is always an entertaining night for the Alpha community. The event was hosted on February 16th. And this year's ninth annual competition had a "Starry Night" theme. Members of the Offence ganged together to organize the event and decorate the small gym, transforming the gymnasium into a night sky.

On February 14th, Alpha spread the love in celebration of Valentine's Day!
This year, Alpha's Visual Arts Council (VAC) and Alpha`s Music Council hosted an amazing event called Crush On You offering paper roses and candies to students and staff. Not only was this idea unique and one of a kind, the flowers looked absolutely adorable and everybody loved them! VAC spent a lot of time creating these handmade flowers, each made with love, and they ended up looking fantastic! For only $2, you could send a loved one or a friend a paper rose and some chocolates.

Alpha's Enviro Club, the main environmental group within the school, has been active throughout the year. From raising baby salmon in classrooms to organizing events like "Dining in the Dark", their actions through the school have had an overall positive effect. To spread this positivity to younger students, the Alpha Enviro Club travelled to Lochdale Elementary on January 27th to lead various workshops. At these workshops, members of the Enviro Club taught Students in Grades 2-4 students to reuse newspapers and make newspaper bags.

Stroud's Milk Teeth evoke memories of oversized plaid shirts, taking walkmans to school and pirate cassettes of Wayne's World. Formed in 2013, 5000 miles from their spiritual home Seattle, Becky, Chris, Oli & Billy began making waves the instant "Smiling Politely" was released as they set out on a nonstop touring cycle. Their fuzzed up guitars, boy/girl vocals & tales of growing up perfectly balance teen angst with pop sensitivity. Their debut album 'Vile Child' is out now on Hopeless Records!
