Inside Edition Staff
Published: April 12, 2020, 6:34 am
What It Takes to Be a Paramedic During the Coronavirus Crisis
First responders working through the COVID-19 pandemic are facing unprecedented challenges as the U.S. grapples with nearly 500,000 confirmed cases of the deadly virus.
Inside Edition was there as paramedics in Manchester, Connecticut worked a shift amid the coronavirus crisis. Andrew Hedberg and Kyle Caldwell have given everything they have to saving as many lives as possible and have put themselves in harm's way in the process.
"I have a newborn at home right now, so that's a little stressful," Caldwell told Inside Edition. Caldwell, Hedberg and all their team members begin the day by checking their temperatures. And then they demonstrated how they spring into action when a call comes in, including when they received details from a dispatcher that a person is having difficulty breathing.
"It will be a hot response," the dispatcher advised, noting "respiratory precautions" would be needed to be taken. In these dangerous times, paramedics can't rush into a house as they normally would, they noted, telling Inside Edition that when possible, they ask a patient to come to the front door.
From there, they keep a safe distance while gathering information. If an emergency is coronavirus-related, they meticulously suit up in protective gear and transport the person to a local hospital.
"After every call we decontaminate our ambulance, starting with our stretcher," they said. "We spray it down with disinfectant spray."
After that, the crew heads back to base to prepare for their next call, which in times like this, is never far off.

Libyans trying to collect loose weapons
Local // Houston & Texas
McCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS Oct. 1, 2011
TRIPOLI, Libya - Alarmed at the deadly arsenals piling up in ordinary Libyan neighborhoods, self-appointed community leaders in Tripoli have begun issuing their own gun licenses and, in some cases, conducting raids to retrieve land mines and rockets stored in private homes.
Qatar and other nations flooded Libya with arms during revolutionary forces' six-month struggle to overthrow longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi. And when the NATO-backed former rebels finally toppled the regime just over a month ago, weapons depots in newly liberated territories were left unguarded, flung open for anyone in the market for anti-aircraft guns, heat-seeking rockets and mortar rounds.
Grass-roots initiatives to register or confiscate arms from civilians and former rebels constitute the only real push to track the weapons because the National Transitional Council, the de facto ruling authority, is already overstretched.
The proliferation of loose weapons already has led to a spike in accidental civilian deaths.

TK# Christmas Gift Ideas That Cost Less Than $5
by admin November 10, 2020
For years, men in the military have been using the waterproof paper of Rite in the Rain's line of notebooks to record vital data that can't afford to be lost in a squall. The company's big four-by-six spiral-bound notebooks are the perfect carry-along for life's little emergencies, shopping lists, and can't-forget details — no matter the weather.
Coleman Enamel Mug
The classic campfire coffee-holder is perfected with the Coleman 12 oz. Enamel Mug. Made from a sturdy steel skeleton, the white-speckled blue cup channels the traditional heritage of outdoor cookware. Throw it in the dishwasher without a second thought.
Buy Now $8.48
Time in the kitchen with the kids is more fun when cookies come out the shape of prehistoric reptiles. We wish we could say that the Suck UK 3D Dinosaur Cookie Cutters will cool their Jurrasic Park frenzy. That's not going extinct any time soon, so you might as well buy in.
Previous generations understood that a refresh of the details, from a sharp press on a shirt to the shine of one's shoes, belies the character of the man. Wren's, which traces its heritage back to the Nineteenth century, is cut from this cloth, and its Leather Cream Classic, available in a variety of colors, is an easy upgrade for those beat-to-hell boots — and even helps prolong their life.
At a near constant rate, Apple is putting some killer books on their digital clearance rack for less than five bucks. Whether you're looking for a pulpy thriller to kill time while waiting out ballet practice or feasting on some hardcore literature like Proust's Swann's Way, it's there and always fresh, regardless of the pub date.
We're far from doomsday preppers, but regardless, some supplies are good to have on hand. The UCO Survival Matches come in a moisture-tight container, are both water- and windproof, and will relight even after being submerged. We like knowing that should we need them, there's nothing stopping their performance.
Dr. Bronners may be known for its liquid soap, but the bars carry the same scents at a quarter of the cost. Pick up the classic peppermint (it tingles) through certified fair-trade ingredients and organic hemp oil.
From the bottomless backstock of Art.com comes the inevitable problem of glut. The company is constantly blowing out prints that aren't selling. Swoop up a Monet to freshen that frame, or discover a new artist whose work is available at a fraction of its worth.
The simplest way to breathe new life into old boots is with a new pair of laces. Timberland's come in several lengths and have the durability for which its footwear is known.
Patagonia Action Works helps you laser-focus that fiver toward causes in your area. Input your zip code and put those few bucks toward where they're most desperately needed.
Like those CD clubs of the Nineties, the real purpose of Dollar Shave Club's Starter Kit is to get you to subscribe. Regardless, the package, which includes trial sizes of its body cleanser, shave cream, and wipes, along with four razor cartridges and a handle, is an incredible deal. Continue if you'd like to set it an forget it, but this intro package is a supercheap way to refresh that stale dopp kit.
We get it: Fatherhood doesn't always leave time to take care of yourself, or shower. It's why we keep a few Epic Wipes stashed in the gym bag, car, and elsewhere, allowing us to use its giant disposable towel for a quick touch up on the way to where we're headed. Short of a shower, it's the best way to get clean on the go.
Items like the watch cap are staples of the men's wardrobe depended on for decades. If you don't own a few already, get one like the Beechfield Beanie, which comes in a few attractive autumnal colors and yet won't set you back much. There are few wrong ways to wear its acrylic knit.

Midland-based Concho Resources will pay $8 billion to buy West Texas rival RSP Permian in a merger that creates the largest shale driller in the booming Permian.
While not a household name, the big sale makes Concho an even larger power player in the Permian Basin, which now accounts for more than half of all the oil drilling rigs in the entire country. RSP Permian is based out of Dallas, but it's also focused just on West Texas and the parts of the Permian extending into New Mexico.
"The RSP team built an exceptional high-margin asset portfolio consistent with our playbook – large, contiguous positions in the core of the Permian Basin," Leach said. "And they did so with a strategy of maximizing well performance and returns, which provides substantial running room for continuous development with large-scale projects.
However, the sale is happening at a time when investors are asking for discipline and shying away from forking over a lot of extra dollars. As such, the initial Wall Street reaction was down on Concho's big move. Concho's stock dipped about 8 percent in early Wednesday morning trading. Likewise, RSP Permian stock jumped more than 15 percent.


Payment & Reservations: Full payment is required to confirm reservations, and must be secured no later than September 24, 2018.
An early morning departure takes you to New Hampshire for the largest quilt shop you've ever seen, Keepsake Quilting & Country Pleasures.

Your rocking it my friend, keep up the fine work !


I'm posting this to see what other people have to say about it/see if there's any insights or drawbacks to how I have an email program set up.
Basically, I ran into the issue that many people have where you can't send an email based on local time zones. You also can't have a wait step in an email program if you're sending directly from the control panel. I'd still like to use my email program to send emails as it allows me to A) nest them in other programs (like landing pages) and B) I am able to track email success differently than landing page success (which is obviously the point of different channels). If you send your email through a smart campaign, however, you are able to not only set up time zones if you have segmentations/smart lists set up, but you can also still add people to different statuses in the event program.
My question is: what are the drawbacks of using an email program, but not using the email scheduler built in to the program?
I can still get email reporting via an analytics or RCE report, and I can still set the program statuses via smart campaigns (which I would have to do anyway). The only things I really see are that the icon doesn't change so it looks like the program hasn't been run yet, and A/B testing might be a bit more difficult.
I'd love to hear what other people have to say about it!
The drawback is that it's not as easy.
The positives are you can run it as a batch campaign (ie, more than once) etc.. And it seems like all the stats get updated.
Maybe you'd be better off with a default program, and using the email insights tool for stats - but it all depends on the overall pros and cons of email programs.
I use email programs as a gateway into Marketo for new users.
I've used default programs in the past, but we also run into the issue where the channel statuses don't line up with email sends. So "member" when sending an email means something completely different than "member" when someone's downloading a white paper.
I guess I should be clear: we only use the "email send" channel and not the "email blast" channel that is built in when we launched our Marketo instance. It feels silly to me that we would have two different types of email programs... but maybe that's because I'm thinking about it all wrong.
Also, the email program(s) in question are generally nested within a landing page program, something you can't do with the default program.
I highly recommend splitting these concepts as separate Channel Types and using different Member Statuses to match your needs. It is certainly not silly because they handle diff needs.
I only use Email Send when AB testing is needed.
Thanks Josh! I will take a look at this set up and run through it with my team. We definitely don't want to have TOO many channels, but we do want to have accurate reporting.
I've done something similar before for a variety of reasons (ie: used an EP as an umbrella to house smart campaigns that actually sent the emails). The only issue I ran into (that kind of annoyed me) was I thought the reporting from those smart campaigns would trickle up into the EP's dashboard, as that's what it does when you're resending an email via smart campaign in an EP; however, that wasn't the case. I believe this is because the EP wasn't run, so you might be able to accomplish that by scheduling the EP to send to a seed list first, and then everything else might fall into place. I haven't had a chance to test this, though!
Awesome, thanks Jenn! I will try this out.
Just curious. Did you try this and did it work as expected?
Hi Edward Camarillo, sorry for the delay here! My team decided not to add any extra channels. Instead, my Downloads template has a nested Email program for sending the announcement about the new asset (such as getting a new white paper to all relevant subscribers).
For email programs in general, I send the email using a smart campaign so that I can add wait steps for different time zones. As I mentioned in my original post, this captures all the standard email reporting, but it doesn't change the program icon to show a sent email. In order to get around that, I set up the email program smart list so that it will only go to me (filter: email address is rachel.egan@tubemogul.com) and schedule it for a few minutes in the future. Once the email is sent to me and the email is sent through the smart campaign, the program will appear as though the email was sent via the email scheduler. The key is to ensure that the email in the smart campaign is the same email as the one in the email scheduler.
For reporting, if I'm looking at program performance, I exclude my email programs from the reports. That way I don't have to worry about double-success. Plus, email success tends to be measured differently than other programs anyway. More about reporting insights here.
Hopefully that makes sense. I'm happy to clarify anything if it would be helpful.

This week: Matalan, Sportsworld Media, Moss Bros
Updated: 19:00 EST, 11 December 2000
Price wars on the High Street have borne heavily on top retailers such as Marks & Spencer, and pundits have warned that the likes of Wal-Mart, the US discount stores giant, would sweep into the UK on a wave of consumer power.
In fact, Wal-Mart has found the UK market harder to crack than it expected and the real success stories have turned out to be home-grown discount retailers, which have taken a huge bite out of the market, particularly in clothing. Chief among them has been Matalan. The group, founded in Preston, Lancashire, in 1985 by chairman John Hargreaves, has seen its share price leap since it was floated in 1998. Last week it narrowly missed being promoted into the FTSE 100.
The fastest growth has taken place in the past four years under chief executive Angus Monro, but there is no sign that its spectacular progress is about to stop.
Interim results released last month showed profits up 72% and like-for-like sales have consistently risen in double figures. But sales growth has also been achieved by store expansion and the company is still planning to open 800,000 square feet a year, including a number of superstores.
Underpinning the group's growth is its membership system. To shop at Matalan, customers must pay £1 membership fee. The fee itself is of little significance, but the membership structure gives the company a golden opportunity to research its customers' buying habits, building loyalty and targeting key customers with new products. A clear example has been the launch of a Matalan credit card.
The one external threat that could have derailed Matalan's rise was Wal-Mart, or rather its subsidiary Asda, with its George range of clothing. The loss of George Davies, the eponymous head of the company's clothing division, in October is only the latest in a number of signs that the Asda threat has receded.
• Midas verdict: The fastest period of share price rises at Matalan may now have passed, but few doubt that there is plenty of growth yet to come, both from store openings and from organic growth. The shares, now 716p, are a buy at anything up to 730p.
A sporting chance of long-term gains
Sportsworld Media has seen its shares drop from 616p since late November. There is no sound reason for this and investors could regard it as a buying opportunity.
The company has established a strong position in the world of niche sports, snapping up the TV rights to a number of cult pursuits such as snowboarding and surfing, which have a strong appeal to the valuable young male audience.
The group has combined programme-making with sponsorship business, allowing it to bring advertisers directly into the funding of TV programming, and with about £40 million in the bank it is poised for more rights deals.
Sportsworld's deals have also given it the rights to Popstars, a documentary-soap series tracking the creation of a pop band that became a hit in its native Australia. The UK rights have been snapped by Granada Media and the broadcast of a UK version next year is likely to boost Sportsworld's profile here.
• Midas Verdict: As a media-related share, Sportsworld may suffer plenty of turbulence in the short term, but its growth prospects mean the shares at 520p are a buying opportunity for the long term.
Formality is old hat
Forget Black Monday. For investors in Moss Bros, the dreaded day is 'dress down Friday' and the wider trend towards informal dress at work.
Shares in the suits company have slumped over the past year, but a restructuring aims to give the company a better balance between premium-price fashion and affordable suits.
• Midas verdict: The shares are close to the bottom, but a rise in the price could be sharp and sudden. A gain will depend on management strategy or the prospect of a buyout. For the brave, the shares are a buy at 29 1/ 2p.

Vital statistics for Adrian Newey
Nationality GBR
Position Chief technical officer
Team Red Bull Racing
As Chief Technical Officer at Red Bull Racing since 2005, Adrian Newey has turned the team around from a midfield marque to a quadruple championship-winning outfit. His clever work with a pencil, and ability to read between the regulation lines, has allowed the Red Bull cars to reign supreme for many seasons. However, after the 2014 rules clamped down on how much design was available, Newey confirmed he would be stepping back from Formula One to concentrate on other interests.
Adrian Newey attended Southampton University, where he studied Aeronautics and Astronautics. His thesis on the ground-effects principle caught the attention of the Formula One paddock, and he joined the Fittipaldi team soon after graduating. He moved to the March squad, employed as a race engineer for their Formula 2 project. He moved up to a design role with March's IndyCar team, helping to create a title-winning car on his first attempt.
After a brief stint away from March, Newey was back with the team and pushing them back into Formula One. Now at the technical director level, he joined Williams for the 1991 season, producing cars that took five Constructor's titles. He continued to bring titles to McLaren, when he moved there in the late '90s, with three more constructor trophies coming his way. Having won with very successful teams, Newey started hunting for a new challenge, and joined the newly coined Red Bull Racing.
He moved to the Austrian squad ahead of the 2006 season, with his influence not being felt until 2007. The team's first victory came in 2009, with German superstar Sebastian Vettel on board. Red Bull finished second in the championship that year, but turned it into victory for 2010. The following four seasons were just as successful, with 2011 in particular showing supreme dominance with Vettel winning 11 of 19 races, only finishing off the podium twice.
As well as designing the best motorsport has to offer, Newey has also tried his hand behind the wheel, participating in the endurance racing of Le Mans, the hill climbs at Goodwood and more. For 2015 and beyond, Newey confirmed that he would be focusing more on his interests outside Formula One, concerned by the lack of flexibility in the rules for encouraging design and thinking outside the box.

Mentions during live coverage
Another interesting preview video from Red Bull, this time talking to the people that made the car, the engineers!Adrian Newey, who clearly can't quite let go of F1 as much as he keeps saying he wants to, has this to add: "Here we are in the middle of February and it's that feeling of... well, it's exhaustion towards the end of the season for many of the guys, but then you go through the winter, you do your work and it's time to think 'yep, now I just want to get going again, to get out on the circuit and see where we are'."
Adrian Newey heads to the green room to be the RBR representative. Ricciardo asks some questions of Rosberg and Bottas. "Finish on prime?" he asks. Or maybe "Finnish on prime?"
Adrian Newey who earlier announced he's stepping back from the sport at some point in the future, talks to Martin Brundle on the grid. "I had a great time in Formula 1, it's time to try some different things"He'll be involved in developing next year's Red Bull car, but probably not much beyond that.
Adrian Newey: "We've just got to run our own race and take advantage of any opportunities that arise. I think Daniel was slightly disappointed after qualifying, with Sebastian we had a problem that cost him some lap time. We came out of qualifying slightly disappointed but nobody's done race pace here yet, so we don't know where we stand in a race situation."
Adrian Newey eyeing up other cars on the grid: "There's a large variety of ideas out there, it would be very arrogant not to see what everybody's up to. I questioned some of the changes that are happening, that's my personal opinion. Formula One's a fantastic sport, isn't it? How could I not be excited? I don't think carrying a penalty for what was ultimately human error… to carry that over to here seems a bit unjust."
Asked by the BBC for his take on the new F1 engine regulations, Red Bull's chief technical officer Adrian Newey was less convinced by the need for change."I like lightweight and efficiency, and these regulations have created cars that are exceptionally complicated, quite a lot heavier. Complication and weight is an expense, if it brings something that's absolutely fantastic, but I do believe that should be debated."Trade the cost of the power-unit versus the cost of making the car lighter or more aerodynamic or whatever. So I think it's questionable."
Adrian Newey: "Our straight line speed is not very strong, so these weather conditions probably suit us. We had a good outing in the wet in Melbourne with Daniel. If it's as wet as this, they'll probably have to delay qualifying."They're very different cars, and we had very little time to sort it out, we didn't get very much testing done on the dyno before the first test, which is where you get to sort out all the problems before going out in the public eye. The problem was a local heat problem on our side... it takes a bit of time to sort it out. It wasn't a huge problem, it just took time. When the tests come that fast and quick it's embarrassing to know you have a solution but can't get it on the car yet."Where we are the moment, it's very much an engine formula, which means it's in the hands of the engine supplier."
A side on view of the nose. Red Bull have painted this so its full impact is hard to gather, but it looks quite shark-fin-esque and very pointy. Adrian Newey has admitted that the new noses aren't what the FIA had in mind and could be just as dangerous as before. "If you hit the back of the car square on, then you go underneath it and end up under the rear crash structure, which I think is a much worse scenario."

Christine's personal musings

The idea of a "soul of the world" was dreamed up by Plato in the Timaeus and repeated by countless later thinkers, including many Theosophists in turn-of-the-century Dublin and London.
The anima mundi, as it came to be known, is an essentially religious conception, but Plato offers it less as a doctrinal claim than as a myth—a kind of encouragement to study the metaphysical bases of our world. Joyce may have encountered the idea in more doctrinal forms, however. Gifford suggests that he acquired it from Giordano Bruno, the Italian philosopher and cosmographer whom the Catholic Church burned to death in the Campo dei Fiori in 1600. His claim seems plausible since, as he notes, the young Joyce named him the "father of what is called modern philosophy," and since Joyce later filled A Portrait of the Artist, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake with admiring references to the Nolan. Bruno uses Aristotelian logical terminology to advance an essentially Neoplatonic metaphysics. He describes the ways in which every part of the material universe is spiritually interconnected with every other part.
A book by Theoharis Constantine Theoharis, Joyce's Ulysses: An Anatomy of the Soul (1988), explores this very systematic Brunonian understanding of the world soul as one of the possible philosophical inspirations for the organization of Ulysses.

US Navy America Expeditionary Strike Group Participates in Combined and Joint Battle Problem
August 7, 2021 August 9, 2021 by admin
USS America Expeditionary Strike Group, along with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), will conduct operations alongside Royal Australian Navy's HMAS Canberra (L 02) and HMAS Ballarat (FFH 155), and Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force's JS Makinami (DD 115), Aug. 5-8, in support of the Combined and Joint Battle Problem (CJBP). CJBP is one of many operations nested under the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command's Large Scale Global Exercise (LSGE) 21. LSGE 21 is global command and control exercise, with a regional focus, to enhance integration of the U.S., allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region. The U.S. in conjunction with like-minded partners and allies will operate across several bases in the region and project sustained combat power.
Royal Australian Navy, Commodore Flotillas, Commodore Mick Harris highlighted the opportunities that LSGE 21 presents for Australia. "Australia always looks forward to working and training with our like-minded partners and friends to address shared security challenges in our region," Commodore Harris said. "This exercise with the USS America Expeditionary Strike Group and JS Makinami represents an opportunity to enhance our ability to seamlessly integrate anywhere in the world."
"It should come as no surprise that our blue-green team will continue to operate with like-minded nations in order to promote stability and the international rules-based order," said Rear Adm. Chris Engdahl, commander of Expeditionary Strike Group 7. "Operations such as these ensure our forces can come together, if called upon, to defend shared interest in the region and respond to conventional or non-conventional threats."
During CJBP, surface units will conduct complex maneuvering, refueling at sea, and integrate aviation assets through helicopter cross-deck opportunities.Each training evolution was planned and coordinated among units and will be executed as multi-domain operations in order to provide commanders with numerous options for executing processes and maneuvers. Events are based on a continuum of scenarios and designed to test operational concepts. Together, the forward-deployed ships of ESG 7 and elements of the 31st MEU are operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of responsibility to enhance interoperability with allies and partners, and serve as a ready response force in support of peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.

Fragmentary thinking is an obstacle to sustainability and reductive attitudes towards knowledge cannot address problems associated with complex ecological systems, or social and economic systems for that matter. Responding to this dilemma, EcoLabs uses a whole systems approach facilitated by visual communication. Ecological literacy (EL) is a powerful concept developed by sustainability educators that has the potential to create an integrated foundation for understanding environmental problems and potential solutions. Unfortunately, ecological literacy has largely failed to spread across disciplinary boundaries in the two decades since the concept was first conceived. To address this problem EcoLabs will create learning processes for ecological literacy facilitated by visual communications. This serves to synthesise different traditions while producing new visual displays and transformative learning processes. It aims to help learners develop new cognitive and social capacities including the agency to put new ideas and values into practice.

New UK National Land Use Map Produced by GeoInformation Group
The GeoInformation Group announces the first release of its land use reference database for the United Kingdom. This unique and comprehensive National Land Use Map identifies the location and the extent of 26 different land use categories throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is the only current map of its kind enabling planners and policy decision makers to consider the strategic implications of their plans in the context of a national picture.
The land use information is updated on a regular basis and includes industrial areas, retail and business parks, agricultural and natural landscapes as well as different types of urban environments. These key categories help professionals directly address both current and future issues such as flooding, house building and the preservation of open space all based on a single and consistent database.
The National Land Use Map, which was derived from projects in support of national utility network programmes has been adapted for use by market sectors such as local and central government, consulting engineers and commercial property developers. It is broadly based on NLUD v4.4 classification system to ensure compatibility with databases that have been created in the past.
The database enables professionals to make informed decisions about development, taking into account both local and regional context and balancing the conflicting pressures of urban growth and rural protection.
"The availability of a national land use database that covers the length and breadth of the United Kingdom is a powerful resource for anyone charged with managing our landscape. Not only does it offer the ability to consider the wider implication of plans but the ability to identify land use and derive statistics in a consistent and coherent manner", said Alun Jones, Manager Director for The GeoInformation Group.
"For over 15 years, The GeoInformation Group has used its extensive expertise to create land use maps through digitising land use types from high resolution aerial photography but never before has a database been available at a national scale. Its value will be recognised by professional users in a wide range of market sectors."
Data is provided in easy to use formats and users can define the area they wish to purchase. Alternatively, Customised Land Use maps are available on request as well as UKMap's Base layer for Greater London which offers land use at the 1:1,000 mapping scale.

The impact of Coronavirus on..
The impact of Coronavirus on the economy
06/05/2020 4:31 am / 13:50
Luke Grant
Jim Chalmers MP, Shadow Treasurer & Labor member for Rankin, joins Luke Grant regarding his press conference yesterday where he spoke about a variety of topics including the confronting numbers released by the Reserve Bank, the Federal Government and by the Bureau of Statistics in the wake of coronavirus.
Mr Chalmers said yesterday "my fear is that there are job losses in the economy which could have been prevented."
"The unemployment cues will be longer than they need to be because too many workers are being denied access to the JobKeeper wage subsidies. It remains to be seen whether unemployment has peaked already, or whether it will peak in the weeks and months to come."
"What is clear is that in crises like this it takes longer for unemployment to go down than it took unemployment to go up. The recovery when it comes will be patchy at best."

Athabasca University (AU) is a Canadian public research university that primarily operates through online distance education. Founded in 1970, it is one of four comprehensive academic and research universities in Alberta, and was the first Canadian university to specialize in distance education.

Origins
Athabasca University was created by the Alberta government in 1970 as part of an expansion of higher education to cope with rising enrolment at the time. In the late 1960s, the University of Alberta (U of A) had long been established, the University of Calgary was created through new legislation, and an Order in Council had created the University of Lethbridge. In 1967, the Manning government announced its intention to establish a fourth public university, but this would be delayed by three years as the government considered different proposals. The U of A wanted to expand rather than see another university open in Edmonton to compete with it. One proposal favoured establishing a Christian university instead of a secular one. Another early suggestion was an "Alberta academy" that would take credits students had earned at multiple universities, evaluate them for transfer, and perhaps award degrees. A Department of Education ad hoc group favoured the establishment of a fourth public university.

A group of U of A graduates including Preston Manning influenced the development of an independent fourth university. In 1970, Grant MacEwan, then the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta, established AU by an Order in Council. The name for the new university was a challenge, as it was not desired to associate the new university with a city (Edmonton) that already had a university (the U of A). Athabasca Hall, a student residence at the U of A, was scheduled for demolition, so the name was appropriated for the new Athabasca University.

In 1984, AU moved its main campus in Edmonton 145 kilometres (90 miles) north to Athabasca. Today the main campus remains in Athabasca, and there are satellite locations in Calgary, Edmonton and St. Albert.

In 1994, AU's Centre for Innovative Management introduced the world's first online MBA program.
The program had 65 students in its first year, and to date there have been almost 4,000 graduates from the online MBA program. Under the leadership of university president Dominique Abrioux (1995–2005), Athabasca expanded programs in all faculties, including graduate studies, with a new MA in Integrated Studies called MA-IS.

Mandate

The initial mandate for Athabasca University dictated that AU be primarily undergraduate in scope. Creating new procedures for curriculum development was also part of the mandate.

AU's mandate was later revised to include graduate studies as well, and the university has offered graduate programs and courses since 1994.

First president and early years
In April 1971, Timothy C. Byrne was appointed the first president of Athabasca University, and he assumed office in June that year.

The initial governing authority of the university had eight members as well as a broad range of powers to set up the new university. On 2–3 July 1970, they met for the first time, and Carl W. Clement was the first chair. It was expected by the government of the day that AU would have 10,000 students by 1979. 1 September 1973, was set as the target date to open.

The AU administration chose the University of California, Santa Cruz, as its model, deciding that individual colleges should serve as the basic planning units for the new university, which would be organized as a federation of colleges. Each of the colleges was to have 650 students with corresponding lecture and office space. The learning approach would have students in small tutorials instead of large lectures. Research within the new university was to be limited to a specified region around the city of Edmonton. One criticism was that the university was trying to do too much.

The government of Peter Lougheed in 1971 brought changes including a cabinet portfolio specifically for post-secondary education. The newly elected Conservative government was opposed to building a new university in Edmonton, but architectural plans were permitted to continue. A proposal was made to the government to test the new model for three to five years, and if it succeeded, AU would become a fully independent university. This happened under chair Merrill Wolfe. The proposal was accepted by the government.

In the summer of 1972, the new deputy minister of Alberta Advanced Education stated there was a demand for lifelong continuing education. There was also a need for an "Alberta academy" that would evaluate university courses taken at multiple institutions and award degrees based on its evaluations. Meanwhile, AU also proposed to serve part-time students and made the case that this would not affect the traditional universities already established in Alberta or the new approach of AU. An open-door admissions policy removing most traditional university admission requirements was part of AU's proposal.

In 1972, a new Order in Council was issued to include only a new pilot project for distance education.

Piloting distance education

Trial and error characterized the pilot period, as there was no similar model to follow for the mandate Athabasca University was given. In 1973, AU began to advertise for students to help with course development. World Ecology was the first course and the core of the pilot project. In-house production of the learning packages for courses was important to the staff, so the university developed its own printing process.

In 1975, plans came together to reach out to students through field services tutors and regional learning resource centres. In 1976, the first part-time telephone tutors were appointed, 24 in total. The tutor role was to facilitate learning, not to teach the course. Tutors were assigned blocks of between 20 and 40 students each, and AU provided toll-free phone numbers that students used for contacting the tutors. All tutors were (and are still) required to have at least a master's degree.

An early test project for a learning resource centre had books and tapes relevant to the courses available at branches of public libraries throughout Alberta. Although the libraries were keen on the idea, students preferred to remain in their homes to learn. By 1975, the median age was between 35 and 40, and there were 725 students. A minority of students had only completed Grade 9.

In 1975 at the end of the pilot project, an agency was appointed to evaluate its success. A recommendation was made to the Alberta government that the university be made a permanent member of the province's university system. It was also to remain an open university. Under the chairmanship of Edward Checkland, the university gained permanency.

In 1976, Sam Smith took over as president, and the university's permanency was established through an act of the Legislature of Alberta.

Early collaborations
The first collaboration the university embarked on was with Keyano College, which eventually led to the opening of a regional learning office in Fort McMurray, Alberta. (This regional office would later close.) In 1976, North Island College took on the challenge of delivering many of AU's courses on its many campuses.

In 1985, AU reached an agreement with the Correctional Service of Canada for the payment of tuition and program delivery fees for federal inmates taking courses through the university.

Modern Partnerships and Collaborations
The university maintains more than 350 collaborative agreements with other Canadian and international educational institutions, with professional associations, with businesses, and with Indigenous institutions and communities.

Educational Partnerships
Through Athabasca University's partnerships with other post-secondary institutions, students have options. For example, they can add an Athabasca University course to their program at a partner institution, take classroom versions of Athabasca University courses at a partner institution or enrol in an Athabasca programs while studying at or working for a partner institution.

Through established transfer agreements, Athabasca University also recognizes previous education that obtained through colleges, technical institutes, or professional organizations. Block credit transfer arrangements have been established with numerous educational providers across Canada, granting program graduates a specified number of credits toward a particular degree.

A range of academic partnerships are in place, including a recent announcement in early 2019 with Lakeland College.

Amazon Web Services
Athabasca University is the first Canadian post-secondary institution to enter into a formal collaboration with Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS). This collaboration modernizes AU's IT infrastructure and the two organizations will also be designing, implementing, and managing cloud education programs, artificial intelligence and machine learning initiatives, and research-based applications for the education sector. The partnership speaks to the five-year digital transformation of Athabasca University, as set out by the university's strategic plans – Imagine: Transforming lives, transforming communities and RISE: Athabasca University's Digital Transformation, Our 5 Year IT Strategy.

Canadian Football League Players' Association (CFLPA)
In June 2014, Athabasca University formally partnered with the CFLPA as the official education provider for their players – both past and present.

Western Hockey League (WHL)
Since 2009, the WHL and Athabasca University have partnered, offering fully accredited university courses to any WHL player interested in pursuing post-secondary studies while playing in the WHL. For the 2018/2019 hockey season, over 75 players have been taking courses through Athabasca University.

Professional Hockey Players' Association (PHPA)
Partnering with the PHPA, members of the association have access to online courses that they can complete through Athabasca University.

Blue Seal Program
The Achievement in Business Competencies Program, also known as the Blue Seal Program, gives Alberta-certified trade and occupational certificate holders the opportunity to earn a business credential that is recognized by employers. A Blue Seal illustrates they have the skills needed to succeed in business.

Education delivery models

The majority of Athabasca University's courses are taught through online distance education, but some courses or components of courses are taught in-person, face to face. The major education delivery models at AU are as follows:

 Individual study: Students are provided with the textbooks, computer software, and video material required. A preset recommended schedule comes with each course. Each course has a professor, as with any university course. This person publishes creates a series of learning activities, readings and assessments. That publication becomes additional reading and activity for the student. Assignments are submitted to the professor via email or more commonly via the Moodle assignment drop box. The final exam is administered at Athabasca's learning centres or a partner university, college or accredited individual. Students have up to six months to finish their course, unless they have received a student loan, in which case, they have up to four months. Courses start at the beginning of each month. Most courses are now augmented with additional resources and activities using the Moodle LMS
 Collaborative, online: Courses in the graduate programs are paced, usually beginning three times a year. The primary delivery platform is the Moodle Learning Management System, that is augmented by web conferencing using Adobe Connect and social networking using elgg-based Athabasca Landing
 Grouped study: Offered primarily to students physically in Alberta, this method allows students to get together with other students in the same course, and study in a manner similar to that of a regular university. Students studying in this method have up to four months to complete their course. Courses start in September and January.

Centre for Distance Education
In addition to delivering courses and programs primarily through online distance education, Athabasca University has a Centre for Distance Education (CDE). Since 2019, the CDE has existed in name only, and its staff and programs are now part of the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences (FHSS). The former CDE, led by a core faculty and supported by additional sessional instructors, offered graduate-level courses and programs that taught other educators how to develop, design and deliver online education. The CDE was home to North America's first online Doctor of Education in Distance Education, and it also offered a Master of Education in Distance Education and post-baccalaureate certificates and diplomas in distance education technology, instructional design, and technology-based learning. These programs and associated teaching methods continue to thrive in the FHSS.

Distance education research
AU also sponsors the publication of the International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, which is listed in the Social Sciences Citation Index and is a well-known and frequently cited scholarly journal in the field of distance and open education.

Accreditation
Athabasca University reports to the government through the Minister of Advanced Education and is publicly funded through the Province of Alberta. The university's governing council is authorized to grant degrees through the Post-Secondary Learning Act along with governing its own affairs. Members of the governing council are appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in council.

Under the Post-Secondary Learning Act, Athabasca University is considered a "Comprehensive Academic and Research University" (CARUs). CARUs offer a range of academic and professional programs, which generally lead to undergraduate and graduate level credentials and have a strong research focus.

The university is accredited with the United States by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.

Research
AU has five faculties: College of Business, College of Health Disciplines, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, College of Science and Technology and College of Graduate Studies. AU spends over $2 million per year on research. The university has four Canada Research Chairs, one NSERC/Xerox/Markin/ICORE Research Chair and one of three UNESCO/COL Chairs. The Athabasca University Research Centre is the primary centre at the university, along with the Technology Enhanced Knowledge Research Institute and the Centre for World Indigenous Knowledge and Research. AU is also a participating member of the WestGrid Research Network.

Scholarships and bursaries
The Government of Canada sponsors an Aboriginal Bursaries Search Tool that lists over 680 scholarships, bursaries, and other incentives offered by governments, universities, and industry to support Aboriginal post-secondary participation. Athabasca University bursaries for Aboriginal, First Nations and Métis students include: Alberta Historical Resources Foundation; Syncrude Canada Ltd./Athabasca University Aboriginal Scholarship; Frank and Agnes Cardinal Neheyiwak Bursary; Harold Cardinal Essay Prize for Aboriginal Students; Canative Scholarship for Métis Students; AU President's Scholarship for a Blue Quills Student; First Peoples Technology Bursary

Notable people

Some notable people have studied through Athabasca University, including Alberta politician Debby Carlson, Olympic bobsleigh racer Christian Farstad, former Alberta Premier Ralph Klein, professional hockey player Alyn McCauley, and cross-country skier Milaine Thériault. AU serves over 38,000 students (over 7,900 full-load equivalents) and offers over 900 courses in more than 50 undergraduate and graduate programs in a range of arts, science and professional disciplines.

Controversy

In 2012, it was revealed that Athabasca University was one of the institutions of higher education involved in illegal donations to the provincial Progressive Conservative party of Alberta. The university spent $10,675 on Conservative fundraising events, including golf tournaments and dinners. The university president retired early, and an interim president, Peter MacKinnon, was appointed by the university governing council.

Coates Report
Facing financial pressures in 2015, Athabasca University underwent an independent third-party review to report to ascertain long-term solutions. The report found that there was a significant student demand for flexible, online post-secondary options, but that Athabasca University needed a clear and shared vision for the future.

Looking forward
Looking to the future and guided by a new president, Neil Fassina, Athabasca University charted a renewed course. Building off recommendations from the Coates Report, Imagine: Transforming Lives, Transforming Communities was a strategic plan forward, built out of extensive collaboration with the entire Athabasca University community and acted as a roadmap with priorities to guide them on the path forward.

Imagine: Transforming Lives, Transforming Communities
Imagine: Transforming Lives, Transforming Communities is a strategic plan that charted the path forward for Athabasca University crystallized the university's mission and mandate. Important priorities were enacted, including a partnership with Amazon Web Services to transform and update its Information Technology infrastructure. A range of educational partnerships and collaborations also increased opportunities for learners to have barriers moved for access to university-level education, from Bow Valley College to Aspen View Public Schools and Northern Lakes College.

Student representation

Undergraduate students
Undergraduate students at Athabasca University are represented by the Athabasca University Students' Union. The AUSU head office is in AU Edmonton, though the students' council may have elected members from any area where AU students reside.

AUSU was officially incorporated as of 16 July 1992, and was formalized as a registered Alberta society until students' unions in Alberta were granted recognition under the Post-Secondary Learning Act. On 13 September 2004 the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta approved an order in council establishing "The Students' Association of Athabasca University".

AUSU offers services to its members including but not limited to: student awards, a free subscription to LinkedIn Learning, student advocacy, and Athabasca University course evaluations. Student media at Athabasca University is provided by the official publication The Voice Magazine. Previously published on paper, the magazine since 2001 is published exclusively online in HTML and PDF format.

Graduate students
Visiting and program students at the graduate level are represented by the Athabasca University Graduate Students' Association. The organization was founded in 2010, and approved by the Alberta Advanced Education.

You can shop 24/7 and browse the pages and prices of the product you are looking for.
Ordering and buying your groceries from your local supermarket any time, any day is a huge attraction for many mums who otherwise would have to take the kids along usually making a long job longer. Find price comparisons between stores in a few seconds instead of physically going to the other store etc…etc… My 90-year-old mum bought her last ensemble online after browsing her favorite clothing stores all from the comfort of her rocking chair. It was delivered in days. She was impressed and so was I!
The internet has changed our lives forever. The world population is exploding! Soon to be 9 billion people in the world. 2/3rd s of the world's population will be online. Doing business online and from home is one of the fastest growing industries. Do it now, build your online business and become part of this reality!
For Business Owners, if you don't have a presence online then you are missing out.
In my own town, on what used to be the main street, you will see mostly eateries these days. Many of the big stores do not have a presence there anymore, that's because Mainstreet is now the internet. Businesses without a website are greatly disadvantaged. So instead of paying high rents and related overheads in my town, the big stores have opted to have fewer main street stores (mainly only in our much larger cities now) but have a presence on the internet and leveraging affiliate online business to move their products.
Wealthy Affiliate has everything you need to get an online business up and running in no time at all. It literally took less than 2 months for my online business to get up and running AND EARNING! See a Wealthy Affiliate overview here.

We can also store your bike while you work!
We put community before profits and provide a place where cyclists can meet, interact with each other and exchange tips and stories.
By giving cyclists the space to help each other, we aim to nurture Manchester's cycling community.
Our workshop incorporates bike repair, servicing and maintenance, the sale of high quality pre-owned bikes and allows cyclists access to quality service at reasonable prices.
We welcome anyone that appreciates good company and great coffee. Our café serves speciality handcrafted coffee to wake you up on those early mornings or keep you going long into the evening.
We are open from 7:30am until 7:30pm.
So if you have a bike problem while you're riding to work, bring it straight to us – we'll usually be able to repair your bike for your journey home, the same day.
The most important thing to us, is our customer's happiness and we want you to leave with a smile on your face after the most positive of experiences, so we don't quibble about the little things.
Our mechanics aim to repair every bike that's brought to them. No job is too big or too small – or too weird. If your maintenance job is not on this list, just pick up the phone and request a quote.
I've used this place several times and I cannot rate it enough. The staff are great, knowledgeable and always aim to get the repairs done on the same day. As a city centre 9-5 worker, this place is a god-send as I can drop my bike off at 7.30am and pick it up after 5pm. Absolute first class service!
Hands down best bicycle store in Manchester, know their way around old bicycles and always ready with an innovative low cost solution. Also the coffee and sandwiches are rad!
Fantastic! Excellent service, great value for money and free advice. Been in a couple of times and they don't do unnecessary work.
The wizards at Popup Bikes sorted out my loveable but awkward 70's French racer. Amazing service! Kept me in the loop all the way along, and the service was impeccable. It's a great place with fantastic staff, great coffee and delicious snacks. Couldn't recommend highly enough!
Having used a well known bicycle chain store for the last few years, I'm used to having to wait for ages Popup was really fast, efficient service and significantly cheaper; I will definitely be taking my bike back in the future!
The idea of Popup Bikes began one Friday in 2011, when Prestwich-based cyclist Dipak Patel rode into Manchester for a drink with a friend.
After walking around the city looking for a place to park his bike, Dipak ended up leaving it with a doorman in the gay village, wondering why there was no secure parking for bikes in the city centre. After all, there was plenty for cars. He had found a gap in the market.
Dipak realised that using empty (or under-used) commercial property would limit his costs, meaning he could charge less, so cycle parking could 'pop up' in vacant premises. The search for a property took Dipak to the garages beneath the railway arches in Angel Meadows on the edge of the Green Quarter of the city centre, which he had visited as a child with his Dad.
Popup Bikes opened in April 2012, under an arch previously used to park just one car. Dipak found second hand furniture for the customers and scaffolding poles to hang bikes from. The coffee bar and the mechanics bench were made with timber from salvaged pallets and the chairs were repaired using inner tubes, a technique Dipak had seen in India. Many of the bike tools were second hand. By the end of the year, the business had the equipment and the skills to strip and rebuild bikes and to build wheels.
In 2013, we took on a barista and an apprentice mechanic. To keep things local, we began buying coffee from a Manchester-based roastery, and cycle components from wholesalers in Worsley and Whitefield and Chorley.
Today Popup bikes has a team of 5 people, maintaining and repairing bikes and providing the great people of Manchester with the best coffee and toasties the area has to offer.

Alex roy Super Reviewer. A competent, but routine police thriller. I think we can all guess its a film about a tough highly skilled elite team of cops, and this being a modern flick the testosterone is through the roof!. Ricky Lopez as Agusta Pilot 2.

The hourly 14 and 14A service, which had run from Monday to Saturday between Accrington and Blackburn Hospital, will cease to serve Fern Gore, Green Haworth and Broadfield as of July 26.
Hospital patients and schoolchildren are among passengers hit by the axing of a bus link.
Alternative services will be available for Fern Gore and Broadfield residents, but not Green Haworth.
Phil Turner, headteacher at Green Haworth Primary School, said the cutbacks would affect some pupils.
Mr Turner said that LCC had offered to extend the service that currently goes to Mount Carmel High School as a replacement.
He said: "We're thankful that they're providing something, the issue is that the majority of children pay 77p per child per day return on the current bus. The flat rate for travelling on the LCC service is £2.55 per child.
Lancashire County Council (LCC) said Blackburn with Darwen Council has withdrawn £93,000 per year of financial contributions to cross boundary bus services, therefore they are no longer in a position to continue their contributions.
LCC said the majority of trips from Green Haworth were made by school children, up to 15 per day.
The county council confirmed they would be extending the 867 School Bus service, but that fares will be charged in line with LCC's 'school bus service flat fare structure'.
Blackburn with Darwen council declined to comment.

Eastbourne landlord's anguish as car hits house for 4th time
Photo by Colin Martin SUS-190116-165848001
A landlord is calling for something to be done after a vehicle crashed into her house opposite the Beacon car park for the fourth time.
Chris Ireland says it's only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured or killed outside her house on the corner of Tideswell Road.
This was the scene after a car crashed into the hallway of the house in Tideswell Road in 2009
Car collides with house in Eastbourne
She said, "The Beacon is getting busier and busier and it's only going to get worse. I think it's an accident waiting to happen and a tragic accident unless they do something about it."
This comes after a car collided with the house on Saturday (January 12) – less than a year after a previous incident which saw a car ram through the car park barriers and smash the front wall.
Luckily no one was hurt and there was limited damage to the property at the weekend – unlike a decade ago. Mrs Ireland said, "I originally had the bollards put up after the first incident in 2009. A car went through the outside wall into the hallway of the house.
A previous accident in February saw a car collide with the front wall of the house
"The tenant was quite shaken, if it had been 30 seconds earlier he would have been stood in the hallway."
She believes the incidents happen when automatic drivers put their foot on the accelerator instead of brake and 'lunge forward' from the car park.
"Someone will get seriously injured if another car comes hurtling out," Mrs Ireland said, "I just want the council to make it safe for people and protect my house.
"The bollards now don't stop anything. I just want something a little bit stronger to stop anything hurtling across that road."
An East Sussex County Council spokesperson said they understand Mrs Ireland's frustration, "The concrete bollards currently in place were installed at this location many years ago and are not a solution we would consider appropriate today."
But, they said, "We have to focus our very limited resources for road safety measures on the areas where the need is greatest, and this location, which has a good safety record, doesn't meet the criteria at present."

Looking Season 1 Blu-ray (Blu-ray, TBC)
The experiences of three close friends living and loving in modern-day San Francisco. This new HBO comedy series revolves around three thirty-something friends living in San Francisco, who explore the exciting, sometimes overwhelming, options available to a new generation of gay ...men. Looking offers up the unfiltered experiences of three close friends living - and loving - in modern-day San Francisco. Friendship may bind them, but each is at a markedly different point in his journey: Patrick (Jonathan Groff - Spring Awakening) is the 29-year-old video game designer getting back into the dating world in the wake of his ex's engagement; aspiring artist Agustn (Frankie J. Alvarez - Smash), 31, is questioning the idea of monogamy amid a move to domesticate with his boyfriend; and the group's oldest member, longtime waiter Dom (Murray Bartlett), 39, is facing middle age with romantic and professional dreams still unfulfilled. The trio's stories intertwine and unspool dramatically as they search for happiness and intimacy in an age of unparalleled choices - and rights - for gay men. Also important to the Looking mix is the progressive, unpredictable, sexually open culture of the Bay Area, with real San Francisco locations serving as a backdrop for the group's lives. Rounding out the Looking world are Dom's roommate Doris (Lauren Weedman), Agustn's boyfriend Frank (O.T. Fagbenle), and Patrick's co-worker Owen (Andrew Law), as well as love interests Kevin (Russell Tovey), Lynn (Scott Bakula), and Richie (Ral Castillo).

About Kingston
Cherry Hill Township is proud to host 13 neighborhood swim clubs and KESC is proud to be the first of the 13 built.
KESC has been serving the Cherry Hill community and the Kingston Estates neighborhood for almost 60 years. We are located at 116 Deland Avenue next door to the Cherry Hill Little League fields. See our directions page to find your way to us.
The club came into being, thanks to over 300 families pooling their resources in the late 1950's to build a community center where families and friends could gather in a safe and friendly environment to relax and escape from the heat and cares of the day. They wanted a place where their children could play and cool off. They wanted more than an all too brief one or two week vacation down at the shore or up at the mountains. They wanted a place to vacation every day of the summer. They found that place at the swim club. The tradition they started back then of enjoying an everyday summer long vacation continues today.
Come visit us. Come join us. And start your own family traditions this summer.
