I've been working in the film and television industry since graduating from VCA School of Film and Television in 2007. I have a range of experience and credits to my name in a variety of positions from (Director of Photography/Cinematography to Directing and Producing) and even won the odd award along the way.
I'm well versed in balancing creative intent to the realities of production and like to think that my eye for detail is what makes my work stand out.
I've worked on major campaigns for large international brands (like Uber, VICE, ABC, Penfolds, Pay Pal, Jacob's Creek and more) as well as broadcast television, commercials, corporates, online videos and short form film. I like to bring a film aesthetic to work which otherwise doesn't demand it.
The type of work I do varies greatly which has led me to become a very versatile and adaptable member of any crew.
I love what I do and always work to keep shoots enjoyable and stress free for those around me.

As previously stated, Daniel and I do have a plan. Admittedly, there are parts that we will not be able to figure out until we get to New York, but we have strategies in getting us there.
Making a move from Georgia to New York is a BIG move, especially with no job prospects. Luckily, with our NY plans out in the open now, we have had a lot of people share with us their own personal stories of making similar changes in life as well as share contact information of someone who has done the same thing. Daniel and I have talked with many great resources (thank you all) and so we have been able to add more meat to the plan.
The third bullet point, while important, is not going to stop our move to NY in 2018.
We will have a good bit of cash in hand to get us started, but this cash is not meant to cover our CC debt while trying to start a new life in NY. We are going to have to save as much as possible for storage fees, costs to move, and all the initial fees when we finally find an apartment.
Our credit became "good" credit just recently; we have been decently vigilant in paying off high-balance CCs since June of this year. Not only is having CC debt exhausting, but having bad credit on top of that would severely damage our chances of getting an apartment. Bad (or no) credit could have forced us to pay additional fees and deposits just for approval purposes. I currently work in property management and, trust me, your credit plays a big role in renting.
Bettering our credit became my main goal. How did we suddenly switch gears and focus on credit card debt all of a sudden?
After reevaluating our budget and costs, Daniel and I were able to cut some luxuries out of our life. We canceled both of our Orangetheory Fitness memberships (which was heartbreaking).
We also downgraded our pest control package. We still have pest control services, but we don't get additional services that sounded so beautiful to us when we became first-time home buyers. However, it's Georgia. If the winter was not cold enough to kill the bugs, no use in paying someone to try to do overtime bug-killing.
Other than that, Daniel and I have been more focused on budgeting (well, trying to get better at budgeting) and spending more time looking at our money.
I have been able to determine how much from each paycheck needs to go towards CC debt; we should be 100%-free from credit card debt prior to leaving for New York!
Now to Savings! Erm… we're still working on it. Our main focus has been taking care of the CC debt, but we have not totally forgotten about increasing our Savings.
Daniel, my hero, has a portion of his paycheck that goes directly into Savings. This is a BIG DEAL. This is an immensely helpful tool in building Savings. We now make it a point to NEVER pull money from our Savings account.
After we pay our bills and budget our monies before the next paycheck, Daniel and I try to figure out if there is any additional amount we can add into Savings. Whether it's $20 or $100 or $300, we do the most that we can so that we can still get to the next paycheck comfortably. We could be putting ourselves on a much tighter budget, but honestly, that's difficult for us. I enjoy going to the movies and we both enjoy having breakfast/dinner out. We are still living our lives but we are doing a good job on our "To-Do" items.
Daniel's To-Do items are extremely important. If you are planning a big costly life change, look at credit card debt and your current Savings balance.
Plus, if you're someone like me who is dealing with high-functioning anxiety, making life simpler – in any way – helps in a big transition like this.
^ Easy stuff. All of the above points, while stressful, will be the easiest part of all of this. The hard part comes when we get to NY and we start the job search.
Firstly, thank you to our wonderful Uncle Peter. Peter's offer for us to invade his home for two months is a TREMENDOUS help. If Peter had not offered his home, I don't think Daniel and I would have been able to make this big move for a couple of more years. When Daniel had finally asked Peter the big question, after spending a lot of time on our own trying to figure out the move to NY, I had never been so stressed. A "No" would have meant that we would need more time to acquire the funds to make a move with no job prospects and no place to live. This also could have been dangerous for us, making a transition with no where to go. While I am the same anxious, fearful planner, I was also anxious and determined to get to NY in 2018.
Thank you, Peter, for helping us. We owe you so much. More specifically, thank you for helping me change my life. Thank you for the opportunity for a girl to chase her dream.
If we get closer to Month 2 with no ideal-job prospects, Daniel and I will apply for any type of position.
Note: I will explain my specific goal to becoming a writer in the next post.
In finding an apartment, this part of the plan does not scare me. NY has ample apartment availability. Again, we're going with a good amount of cash in hand, so we will feel comfortable to pay the initial fees and any additional monies.
And here we are. What I love most about our plan is that we're starting smart. We are moving to New York the smartest and best way possible – debt-free, money in the bank, and a confirmed place to live so we can search for jobs and an apartment while in NY.
Yes, making the move is still unnerving. Nothing is set in stone.
I think it helps that I am extremely lucky in this situation. My husband is a great partner for this new adventure. Our house is in a great area and the sale from it will provide us monies to start a new life. We have Uncle Peter housing us so we can have a comfortable transition from GA to NY.
I did spend time reading articles and other blogs of women who made the move to NY. I read about how single women couch-surfed until they found jobs. There were a lot of similar experiences of people who took months to find a job. I even discovered those that made the trek to NY, but then returned home within less than a year.
Coming back to Georgia would not be considered a failure. I just want to try something new. I want to try making a silly dream come true. Trying is not failure.
I will be tenacious in all of my endeavors. That is a promise.
If you have suggestions or ideas, I would love to hear from you. Thanks again for reading. Please continue to follow my blog!


This is a Complaint / Review about NBC TELEVISION.
Today while having lunch I was sickened to my stomach to the site of open homosexuality being displayed on Days of our live TV show. These people make up less than 7% of the world population yet Hollywood wants it to appear that this sick lifestyle is ok; and pushes for it to be taught in our schools to our kids. This is NOT a lifestyle but a choice these people make and therefore doesn't belong on national television for our kids to be exposed to. You the producers and the writers of this garbage should be taken out back an beaten for placing garbage like this for our kids to see on daytime TV.. I for one feel its time for the decent people to take a stand and let you know we do not want to see this garbage on our TV programing any longer!!!!!

Today London whistleblower and metals trader Andrew Maguire told KWN that a large bullion bank made a massive bet that the price of gold will surge above $1,250 by December.
Andrew Maguire continues: "However, into the September $1,184.30 lows, we had reports that a large market making bullion bank had placed 3-month bullish bets that would move into profit above $1,250.00.

Frank Engel, Luxembourg-based MEP, the chief of the Christian Social Party, part of the European People's Party, said that Romanian PM Viorica Dancila had told Socialist MEPs that "there is no corruption in Romania, but just a different cultural approach, of giving something to thank somebody", according to ziare.com.
"Let me tell you what has Mrs Dancila stated before the Socialist group. A Socialist MEP from Hungary told me very amused that, before addressing the European Parliament plenary sitting, Mrs Dancila had come to the group and the members had reproached her the corruption-related problems in Romania. And she said it is not true, that there is no corruption in Romania, that it is just a different cultural approach, to thank somebody. I thought it was very very clever to talk about a cultural difference. Practically, I could directly buy a favorable ruling in justice, but that would not mean I am corrupt or that I would corrupt somebody, no, it means I would have a specific cultural conduct", said Frank Engel.

Opinion: Minimum wage hike won't ruin Alberta
The Alberta government's plan to increase the hourly minimum wage from $10.20 to $15 by 2018 has generated considerable public debate and some bold predictions. The Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses (CFIB), for example, claims that it would cost the province "between 53,500 and 195,000 jobs." In other words, the CFIB believes that as many as half of the 379,500 Alberta workers currently making less than $15 an hour could lose their jobs. This is simply not credible. It's not just the CFIB. Any proposal to increase the minimum wage by any amount in any province or territory seems to be met with dire warnings of massive job losses and impending economic doom. The problem for critics of the minimum wage is, neither history nor academic research backs these notions up.

It's not just the CFIB. Any proposal to increase the minimum wage by any amount in any province or territory seems to be met with dire warnings of massive job losses and impending economic doom. The problem for critics of the minimum wage is, neither history nor academic research backs these notions up.
There is much to learn from the recent experience in neighbouring British Columbia. After almost a decade without an increase, the B.C. government in 2011 announced it would raise the minimum wage from $8 to $10.25 over the course of a year — a raise of 28 per cent. Shortly before the first planned increase, the Fraser Institute published a report warning the wage hike "could lead to over 52,000 job losses" equivalent to a 16-per-cent decline in employment for young workers under 25.
That didn't happen.
University of British Columbia economics professor David Green examined the impact of B.C.'s increase and concluded that the employment rate for workers under 25 declined by 1.6 per cent between 2010 and 2013. That's a mere one-10th of the Fraser Institute prediction.
In a report released in April, Green explains why the kinds of wild job losses predicted by business lobby groups and think tanks fail to materialize. He identifies two common mistakes minimum wage opponents make when interpreting the economics research. The first is assuming that estimated employment effects for teenagers apply to young adults aged 20 to 24. In reality, estimated effects for young adults and adult workers are effectively zero. The second is relying on old research based on 1990s data, while newer studies using the same methodology and data up to 2012 find much smaller employment effects of the minimum wage.
The recent CFIB prediction of massive job losses is based on a report it published in 2011 that similarly misinterpreted the economics research. A closer reading of that report reveals the bulk of the predicted job losses are for workers over age 25. However, the weight of the academic evidence finds no negative impact of minimum wage increases on the employment levels of this age group.
Further, a 2013 study by economists Pierre Brochu and David Green that uses more recent data than the research available in 2011 did, finds that even for teenagers and young adults, increases in the minimum wage have much smaller employment effects than those assumed by the CFIB.
Moving to a $15 minimum wage — even over the three-year period the Alberta government has proposed — represents a much higher increase than Canadians are used to, so it's impossible to know exactly what the impact would be. However, the best estimates we have, those presented in Green's recent paper, suggest a fraction of the employment costs the CFIB warns of.
Moreover, these costs must be weighed against the often overlooked benefits of a minimum-wage increase. Twenty per cent of Alberta's workers — 379,500 people — earned less than $15 an hour last year. The vast majority (78 per cent) are not teenagers, and 38 per cent are 35 or older. Sixty per cent work full time and 54 per cent have been in the same job for longer than a year.
A $15 minimum wage would significantly boost the income of low-wage workers as a group, reduce working poverty and make a dent in the large increase in income inequality Canada has seen since the 1980s. The minimum wage is not a magic bullet, but it is an important element of a comprehensive strategy to reduce poverty and inequality. Plus, as Green has argued, higher minimum wages create incentives for employers to offer better, more stable jobs by making low-wage, high-turnover business models more expensive.
Business as usual is not working. Past minimum-wage increases had no significant impacts on poverty rates because they were too small, keeping full-time minimum wage earnings below the poverty line. It's time for a bold increase, and it looks like Alberta's new government is ready to show leadership.

Drug Possession: Marijuana Charge in Federal District Court
Marijuana Charge in Federal District Court
MaryL
My question involves criminal law for the state of: NC
My husband was camping in a National Park with a group of 10 guys this weekend- some of which were smoking pot. Police arrived at some point because they were being too loud. My husband, who has never touched drugs, was closest to a pill box that contained marijuana. He honestly didn't even know that it was there (it was 11pm so very dark). He was given an "United States District Court Violation Notice" for possession of paraphernalia and simple possession of marijuana. The guy that was responsible tried to explain to the officers that it was his, not my husbands, but the officers still gave it to my husband. The officer appeared to feel bad after talking with my husband because A- he was the only one there not drinking; b- he is an elem school teacher and this could cost him BIG; c- he has literally never smoked a thing in his life, legal or otherwise.
The officer told him that he would not arrest him or make him come to court. He checked the box that says my husband only has to pay a fine ($400 total). The officer was under the assumption that this would never go on his permanent record. I find that hard to believe. I have a called several lawyers, none of which would handle it because it is a federal violation.
Since he is a school teacher, my concern is that by simply paying the fine he will be admitting guilt and could lose his job if the school system ever finds out... which they could through a simple search online.
Is the cop correct? Is it just a citation? Will it show up somewhere? Can we get the charge reduced or dismissed if the real owner of the pot comes to court? (He is willing to do this as he got a ticket as well) We can't really afford to pay a lawyer but we really can't afford for my husband to lose his career over something he didn't do.
And yes, he will no longer be hanging out with his pot smoking family on federal land.
(sorry this is so long)
Re: Marijuana Charge in Federal District Court
It could be a civil infraction and not an actual crime,so it would leave him with out a record,there must be some lawyer who you can to speak to. It depends how deep the background check is but maybe he wasn't actually charged or arrested. I would ask the lawyer if it's a federal misdemeanor or an infraction. It's worth talking to a lawyer to see where he stands .
KeyWestDan
Had it been a crime of any type, he would have been arrested and booked. he would have had bond and the right to have an attorney appointed.
Civil infractions are not crimes. However, I have seen them reported to NCIC as if they are crimes.
Personally I would fight the charge regardless.
snowtraxx
OK, I'm guessing your husband received the violation notice at Great Smoky's or Blue Ridge, but it doesn't matter which National Park unit it was. Here's my advice...
I am a National Park Ranger and I have taken these matters to court many times. If you're husband was literally "in possession" of the object containing the marijuana, then he was "in possession". It's like the people who say, "Oh, I was just borrowing this car". Well too bad, you should be more cautious about who your friends are. However, if the marijuana was truly NOT in his possession and he feels strongly about this, he should take it to court. That is what our legal system is here for. Keep in mind, that in order to WRITE a violation notice, an officer only needs PROBABLE CAUSE (meaning "probably guilty". In order to be CONVICTED in Federal court, the Government must prove your husband's guilt BEYOND A RESONABLE DOUBT. Those are two different standards.
In regards to Criminal Histories. It is true that if the officer checked the box that allows you to pay a collateral forfeiture, then it will most likely NOT APPEAR on a criminal history. I have NEVER seen the US Department of Justice report these. It's often a disconnect between Federal/State, etc. However, some states DO have reciprocity with the Central Violations Bureau and some of these crimes ARE reported to your state's DMV(this is different from a criminal history), but it wasn't a driving related offense, so it shouldn't. You can call the number on the back of the violation notice and ask what the reciprocity is with your state. It is important to note that should your husband chose to fight the ticket and LOSE, then it WILL most likely be on his criminal history. If he wins, then obviously it would not. If you lose the court case, then you may also be responsible for all the court costs, etc.
Bottom line... If he believes he truly is innocent, he should take it to court. I think most officers would agree.
Hope this helps..

Postgame Quotes
Recap | Final Stats | Notes |
Oklahoma State 48, Kansas 14
Nov. 20, 2010 – Lawrence, Kan.
Kansas Head Coach Turner Gill
On how the team played in the first half:
"I thought in the first half we played pretty good football. We had several positions make plays and our guys made some plays offensively and defensively and we had several opportunities to do some good things."
On not being able to capitalize on offense after a defensive stop:
"With a team like Oklahoma State, your offense is going to have to score some touchdowns. We had opportunities to do that in the first half and in the third quarter, but we could never capitalize on it and we couldn't maintain anything on the drive offensively; and of course that hurts the defense when they are on the field for quite a long time."
On moving sophomores Kale Pick to wide receiver and Bradley McDougald to safety:
"For the final two ballgames – against Oklahoma State and Missouri – we're playing more of a tight team and we thought Bradley McDougald would give us a better chance to be successful on the defensive side so we decided to make that switch. We tried it for a couple of days and we weren't sure we were going to do it for sure until after two days of practices we felt like he did a good job and he would help our team. With Kale Pick, we took him off of the quarterback (position) and let him on to where we were at in this point in time. We told Kale that we were going to have the other two guys as far as Jordan (Webb) and Quinn (Mecham) were really the guys that were going to get the reps. We asked him if he was willing to take another opportunity at another position to get himself on the football field so he considered it for a day or so. Tuesday he let us know and Wednesday we made the transition."
On if Bradley McDougald will continue on as safety next year:
"We won't decide that until after the season is over. We'll stay with him there for the next ballgame and then we will go over the evaluation with all of the personnel as far as offense, defense and special teams after the season. He might be there next year, he may not be, but at this point, he will be there for the next game."
On the senior class:
"They played with a lot of heart and I'm proud to be their head football coach. I'm glad they have one more game and hopefully we can finish on a great note for those guys. They are good people, good football players and they will be very good in our society for the rest of their lives."
Senior defensive end Jake Laptad
On the pressure on the quarterback:
"I think our d-backs did a good job of covering the receivers, and we worked on that all week: getting back there as fast as we could."
On not being able to get sacks with all the pressure:
"When you can get back there and you can get a sack, or you can get pressure just to force him out of his comfort zone is one of the biggest things you have to do with a quarterback like (Brandon) Weedon. He is good with his precision and accuracy, and he did a good job today."
On Weedon's second half play:
"I think we came out strong in the third quarter, I think we just fell off after the punt got blocked. We got to keep our energy up on defense."
On Oklahoma State's offense:
"Their offense is very good, their offensive line is very good, they did a good job protecting Weedon, and with Kendall Hunter, and [Joseph] Randall at running backs. They did a good job using both of those guys to get as many yards as they could."
Senior safety Chris Harris
On the momentum swing:
"I think it was that fourth-and-one (from the one-yard line), that fourth-and-one hurt. Then getting that punt blocked they gained a lot of momentum, and everything just started falling their way."
On third quarter woes:
"Other teams have been coming out with a lot of corrections to what we are doing, and making a lot of good plays. We had a couple stops in the third quarter; we just have to put points on the board, and try to gain some momentum."
On the tough season:
"It has definitely been one of those types of seasons. It is a learning experience for the young guys, hopefully they learn from this and work real hard in the off-season and come back next year. It is definitely a learning experience, it's good that they can learn from this and be ready for the future."
On poor special teams play:
"We definitely pride ourselves in special teams, I wasn't out there, but I guess we had a couple of miscues on the punt, but we definitely can't have that on a punt. That is the most important play in all of special teams."
Junior quarterback Quinn Mecham
On the play in the first quarter:
"We came out fast and played our game plan in the first half, so things were positive in the first half."
On confidence going into the second half:
"We definitely had some confidence coming in and we came out and just kind of lost focus a bit. Their defense made some adjustments and it just didn't come out our way."
On Oklahoma State's adjustments:
"They changed things up a bit by dropping more guys to cover Daymond, so just hats off to them."
On Oklahoma State's defense:
"They're a good defense and they came out with a good game plan to stop us."
Kansas sophomore safety Bradley McDougald
On moving from wide receiver to safety:
"Coach Gill just called me in for a little informal meeting. We sat down and talked about the options, and told me it was completely up to me if I wanted to take the chance to play safety for the last two weeks. I knew it was going to be a critical situation. Oklahoma State definitely has a high powered offense, and a lot of things were going to be on my shoulders, but I was fine with it."
On learning the position:
"We had to go back and talk about some stuff. Being on offense we still work on coverages, we still talk about where the safteys going to be, so I had some tips about that already coming in. Coach (Robert) Wimberly did a great job all week and Coach (Carl) Thorbush did a great job explaining where I needed to be pre-snap."
On Chris Harris' influence:
"It was great to have a great senior back there who knew defense very well. Without him I probably would have made more mistakes than I did. He kept me in line, and made sure I knew what I was doing every play, whether it was a blitz, or coverage."
Kansas freshman quarterback Jordan Webb
On his health:
"I'm 100 percent now. At the beginning of this week, I finally felt back to normal."
On playing in a game for the first time since Oct. 23:
"It was good. It would have been better if we had been in a different position in the game, but it was good to get back in. It felt good to get some snaps."
On whether it was frustrating to miss some games:
"Yeah, but that's just sports. Injuries happen. You have to make the best of your situation and push through it."
On Kale Pick playing wide receiver:
"He did good. He has a lot of potential. He's a great athlete and he has some great hands. He's got a bright future (at receiver). He stayed after practice and ran a few routes the day they asked him (about switching positions). He looked good doing it. I think he's going to be a great receiver for us.
Kansas sophomore wide receiver Kale Pick
On when he was asked to switch from quarterback to wide receiver:
"It was Monday. Coach Gill talked to me about switching to wide receiver. I was willing. I wasn't doing much on the field before; I was sitting on the sideline. I'd much rather play than sit on the sideline obviously. I had fun today. I still have a lot of things to work on."
On how wide receivers' coach Wyatt helped him during the week:
"It started Tuesday. Coach (Darrell) Wyatt was a big help for me. He taught me all the technique stuff that receivers are used to that I wasn't used to – at the end of the route I need to break down and working on my stance."
On if he thought about Kerry Meier's switch from quarterback:
"It's nice that it's been done before. Kerry's obviously successful at it. He's playing in the NFL right now."
Kansas freshman wide receiver Chris Omigie
On catching the first pass of the game:
"I really respected that a lot – the fact that they trusted me to go and make a play our first play of our first drive of the game. They called my number so I just had to do what they wanted me to do and make a play."
On whether he was nervous in his first career start:
"I think I had more jitters yesterday than today. When the game came around, I went back to the place I always like to be in and just let the game happen."
On how he would grade his first start:
"If I had to grade myself, I'd give myself a 'C+' to a 'B-' for the simple fact that it was my first game. I had a big catch and I had a pass interference, which led to a touchdown. Second half, I don't know what happened. I just lost my concentration."
On Kale Pick moving to wide receiver:
"When I saw him line up at wide receiver in practice, it wasn't a shock because I had a feeling it was going to happen. Quinn (Mecham) has been doing really good and Jordan (Webb) was doing really good until he hurt his shoulder. I guess they wanted Kale to be on the field because Kale is a playmaker. He's an athlete. I'm pretty sure he could go play safety if he wanted to."
Oklahoma State Head Coach Mike Gundy
A recap of the game:
"We're very proud of our football team for rallying in the second half. Kansas had a nice plan in the first half. We didn't play as fast as we wanted to. Our defense gave up 200 yards. They came back in the second half and only gave up 80. (Their) Offense played very well. They didn't turn the ball over. We were fortunate enough not to have to punt today. I was proud of the way (quarterback Brandon) Weeden played. I thought offensive line played fairly well; I don't think we gave up a sack. Overall, I thought it was a good day. The game-changer was the blocked punt. It was a great call by Coach (Joe) DeForest. It was very well executed. It changed the game for us and it was nice to come and get the road victory."
On the first half penalties:
"We didn't play smart at all. We had a hands to the face (call) which I have to watch and see. Sometimes that happens accidentally. We have to try to do the best (we can) to make sure that doesn't happen. We had a play where we had a late hit. I saw it on the replay and I know it was a late hit. That wasn't very smart. That was on 3rd-and-10. We had them stopped. Then Lane Taylor got called on a play down the field. They said he was blocking after the whistle had been blown. We have to play smarter football. That's our fault as a coaching staff. We'll do everything we can to get that corrected."
On the goal line stand:
"That was really big. For us to be able to stop them while being on the road, and not letting their crowd back in to the game could have been huge. That was a really big stand."
On the road victories this season:
"It shows that we have some character to our team. It difficult to win on the road, but our players have bought in 100 percent. They believe in each other and they believe in our coaching staff. We have a good group of guys. They like being around each other. They care about each other. Usually when you have those ingredients the results are good."
Oklahoma State senior defensive tackle Shane Jarka
On how it feels to be Big 12 South Champions:
"It feels amazing, it feels great to go down in the history books. It is wonderful to accomplish it with this group of guys – it's great to accomplish something we've been working for all season long."
On the defense in the second half:
"We definitely picked up our intensity level, Coach (Mike Gundy) gave us a pep talk, and the defense really stepped it up – we just got a lot better overall."
Oklahoma State junior quarterback Brandon Weeden
On setting the single-season school record for total offense:
"I didn't realize I had broken the record until the game was over. It's more important to me that we got our 10th win, no team has ever done that in Oklahoma State history. It says a lot about this team."
On if they spoke about getting their 10th win before the game:
"It was in the back of our minds. When we were in the huddle, I told the guys about it, that we have a chance to make history. The offensive linemen had no idea, other guys had it in the back of their mind."
On their drive in the second half that started from their own one yard-line:
"Of course, when you are inside your own one, it's great to drive that far down field – even though we came up short and kicked the field goal, we still did a good job. It was great to get the momentum going."
On their 5-0 record on the road:
"Road wins are tough, everyone talks about how important they are, but winning five road games with a young squad is very impressive."
Oklahoma State senior linebacker Orie Lemon
On winning the Big 12 South for the first time in Oklahoma State history:
"It means a lot, I give a lot of credit to our young guys. The seniors know what we have to do to come out and get a win, as do the coaches. It was a huge game for us to come out and get this win against Kansas."
"We've worked hard since January to accomplish this goal – we knew what we wanted to do since the beginning of the season. We stayed focus and kept being motivated by our goal."
"We knew we were making mental mistakes in the first half, we knew we had to read our schemes and produce on our assignments better."

'Night mayor' to be appointed by Glasgow City Council
'Night mayor' to be appointed by Glasgow City Council 19th May 2019
Glasgow City Council's leader has announced the appointment of a night mayor to "co-ordinate the late night licensed trade activity in the city, including pubs and clubs."
Council leader Susan Aitken is reported to have told the city council's Local Licensing Forum that the appointment would follow the same model as Manchester which is a model which is "emerging as the one that is most relevant for Glasgow".
She said: "We were clear from the outset that if Glasgow doesn't find that kind of model, we risk falling behind other cities who have."
According to local reports Ms Aitken described the 'night mayor' title used in other cities as a "bad pun", adding that, as Scotland doesn't have mayors, the working group were more likely to go with 'night time commissioner'. They have also considered 'night tsar'.
Glasgow's commissioner would be "an ambassador for the licensed trade in the city, who is able to connect with decision makers".
Ms Aitken said the idea arose after a number of venue owners contacted her for informal talks about the state of the industry.

Federal Court Upholds Harvard's Race Conscious Admissions
by Stanley Augustin | Oct 1, 2019 | Press Releases
Judge also finds no proof of intentional discrimination against Asian American applicants
Boston, MA – Federal Judge Allison D. Burroughs' issued a landmark ruling today in favor of Harvard University on all counts in Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v. Harvard. Today's decision should reassure public and private universities across the country that their limited and measured consideration of race to increase diversity, to acknowledge persistent racial segregation and inequities, and to see applicants as complex people is both valid and important today.
"Today's ruling rightly recognizes that race-conscious admissions is both lawful and indispensable for ensuring institutions are open and available to students from all walks of life, including racial minorities," said Kristen Clarke, president and executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. "Race-conscious admissions allows Harvard – and colleges across the country – to cultivate diverse campus environments that move our country forward: bridging racial divides and instilling greater cross-cultural understanding among a talented student body of future leaders. By upholding a policy that only views race in a positive light – never a negative one – today's decision appropriately acknowledges that our institutions cannot be colorblind in a world full of color, nor may they be indifferent to a world full of difference."
Clarke continued, "this case was mounted by activist Ed Blum who has waged an all-out assault on affirmative action efforts across the country for years. He has consistently been defeated in the courts. We will continue to fight against his efforts to tear down racial diversity on our nation's campuses."
"As an Asian American, affirmative action helped give me a fair shot in Harvard's application process," said Sally Chen, who testified in support of Harvard in the trial last fall. "The court made the right decision for Asian Americans, for diversity in education, and for all of the students like me who believe race is an important part of our identity and something we deserve to be able to share. The fight for racial equity is far from over. I will continue to fight for race-conscious policies on behalf of other Asian American students at Harvard and across other college campuses."
"Affirmative action programs are necessary for resolving the persistent problems of privilege and isolation at Harvard and other universities across the country for students of color. Though essential, race-conscious admissions is not enough on its own to ensure fair access and opportunity — we must demand more," said Sarah Cole, who also testified in support of Harvard in the trial last fall. "As a middle school teacher serving mostly students of color, I know that the fight for equitable access to higher education begins in preschool and continues throughout the K-12 system to ensure that all students of color and all low-income students are prepared to compete on equal footing with those born with racial and economic privilege."
The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law represents a racially diverse group of current and former Harvard students, many of whom are Asian American, who support race-conscious admissions. During the three-week trial in October, four of the students were able to testify and share their stories about how they benefited directly from Harvard's race-conscious admissions process and why race matters in the admissions process.
Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law is currently involved in virtually all of the pending cases involving challenges to race conscious admissions policies. The Lawyers' Committee secured another victory in a separate but related case challenging the University of North Carolina's race conscious admission's efforts. A link for more information on that matter can be found here.
The Court's Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law in favor of Harvard are here and its Judgment is here. The Harvard Student-Amici post-trial brief is available here.
The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, was formed in 1963 at the request of President John F. Kennedy to involve the private bar in providing legal services to address racial discrimination. Now in its 56th year, the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law is continuing its quest to "Move America Toward Justice." The principal mission of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law is to secure, through the rule of law, equal justice for all, particularly in the areas of criminal justice, fair housing and community development, economic justice, educational opportunities, and voting rights.

I don't understand why The Star and Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon are pussyfooting around on the case of Chris Nicastro, Missouri education commissioner.
Nicastro, who has been education commissioner since July 2009, has twice exhibited her propensity for secretive dealing with individuals and organizations seeking to direct the course of important city and state educational matters.
The disturbing episodes took place within a few weeks of each other — close enough to discredit her in the eyes of many officials, including several state legislators who are screaming for her scalp.
She reports to the Missouri Board of Education, which consists of eight citizens appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Missouri Senate.
Our intrepid governor, Jay Nixon, got way out on the ledge at a news conference Monday and said the state Board of Education should "monitor and evaluate" the concerns raised about Nicastro. Maybe he doesn't want to be viewed as publicly telling the Board of Education what to do, but he at least could have said that he was concerned.
Like Nixon, The Star failed to call Nicastro to account. The editorial mentioned "the questionable process" on the study and "behind-the-scenes maneuvers," but then it lamely segued into the issue of the Kansas City School District's attempt to gain provisional accreditation.
Let me recap Nicastro's transgressions.
About two weeks ago, it came to light that Nicastro had conspired with an organization financed by Rex Sinquefield — a St. Louis area resident who has earned the nickname of "the meddling multimillionaire" — to craft ballot language for an initiative petition that would give Missouri voters an opportunity to eliminate teacher tenure.
The proposed district would have enveloped the Kansas City School District, which lost its accreditation in 2012 but seemed to be on the verge of gaining provisional accreditation, based on the most recent test scores.
The emails also detailed a hurried and wired bidding process that steered a $385,000, privately funded contract to an Indianapolis firm to develop a plan for overhauling the Kansas City district's failing schools. The Indianapolis firm was selected over three competitors with less costly bids, including one, as Robertson said, "that offered to do the work at a third of the cost" of the selected firm's bid. On the private study, Nicastro colluded with the Kauffman and Hall Family foundations of Kansas City.
It's clear to me that Nicastro has lost all credibility and is on the way out. My prediction is she'll be gone by this time next week.
The Star and the governor could have insured that result by emphasizing that Nicastro, as education commissioner, had an obligation to be straightforward and transparent in dealing with major, public educational issues.
When you've got a top-ranking public official who has clearly compromised her integrity, it's time for those who have the ability to hold such officials accountable to do just that.
Somebody needs to say these things plainly. Thanks for doing it.
I appreciate the reinforcement, Vern…Welcome to the Comments Dept.
You are absolutely right about the editorial, but I think the work Joe Robertson has been doing on this is terrific.
I completely agree, Kate…Joe's Dec. 7/8 story, when he broke the news about the contract was outstanding. Here it is.
Click on "here it is" and there it will be.
Malfeasance and skullduggery are the last best hope for a resolution to the ongoing cancer that is the KC School District. More, much more Machiavelli and far less input from local grifters and cronies of a bankrupt (Literally and metaphorically) district and corrupt local politicians.
This is quite the transition for The Star. Under both Brisbane and Zieman this kind of thing was promoted. I can recall many an article explaining what the Civic Council's goals were for the city (without a word as to what the hell the Civic Council was, or why we would care what their goals were), or the latest report from the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation, not to mention the Chamber, indicating the direction the city should/would be moving in..
Pronouncements from these groups were treated with much more credibility by The Star than anything uttered by public officials (unless they were confirming the decision handed down from on high by these groups). But now there appears to be a crack in the dam given this report and the Star's at least partial divergence from the establishment's goals on the research tax.
That transition is certainly far from complete as evidenced by The Star's support of that idiot Mark Holland over the uber competent and uber independent Ann Murguia in WYCO, but clearly a transition there is, or I don't think we'd be reading about this issue on their pages.
Little off topic here Fitz, but your recent article on the "Comments" section in the KC Star had me thinking you might like this read.
Nicastro's email exchange with Sinquefield's people was obtained by MO NEA. The emails regarding the contract surrounding the privatization plan were obtained by MORE2. Both groups filed routine FOIA requests for the emails. Not The Star and not Joe Robertson. He merely wrote the story.
I knew about the MORE2 request, but I didn't know NEA was responsible for the Sinquefield break. I should have given credit where it was due…You're absolutely correct about Robertson, but he did a heck of a job laying out the story about Nicastro working with the Hall Family Foundation and the Kauffman Foundation on the special school district.
Welcome to the Comments Dept, kct.
Surely your journey through the land of the KCFC (Kansas City Fat Cats) and the Jackson County Question 1 vote have exposed you to a dimension where the public interest takes a back seat to the profit motives of the connected.
1. It's this time next week already.
2. Nicastro's plan, however hidden, makes more sense than anythung the KCPS has tried in the last 30 years and would have the added benefit of removing the district's long corrupt administration from the equation.

NASA Finds Spiny Dinosaur Prints in Own Backyard
Aug. 21, 2012, 4:50 PM UTC / Source: LiveScience
By Stephanie Pappas, LiveScience Senior Writer
At NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, some of the most brilliant minds in the world work to build the spacecraft that humans use to explore their universe. But where space scientists now roam, dinosaurs used to call home, according to dino-hunter Ray Stanford.
Stanford has discovered the footprint of a lumbering, spiny dinosaur called a nodosaur in NASA's own backyard on the Goddard Space Flight Center campus. NASA officials aren't disclosing the precise location of the print, fearing that someone might damage or try to remove the fossilized track.
The dinner-plate-sized footprint bears the mark of four dino toes. It belongs to a nodosaur, a tank-like, armored beast studded with bony protuberances that roamed the area about 110 million years ago during the Cretaceous period, which lasted from about 125 million to 65 million years ago. Nodosaurs were plant-eaters, and this one appeared to be moving quickly across the Cretaceous mud, as its heel did not sink deeply into the ground. [ See Images of the Ancient Dino-Print ]
Stanford, an amateur paleontologist who has had several papers published, confirmed his find with Johns Hopkins University dinosaur expert David Weishampel. On Aug. 17, Stanford shared the location of the find with Goddard officials and with Washington Post reporter Brian Vastag, who made the discovery public the same day.
Stanford also found several smaller dinosaur footprints in the area, likely from meat-eating theropods. He called the location "poetic."
"Space scientists may walk along here, and they're walking exactly where this big, bungling heavy-armored dinosaur walked, maybe 110 to 112-million years ago," Stanford told Goddard officials.
Maryland is no spring chicken when it comes to dinosaur fossils; in fact, the corridor between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Md., is known as "Dinosaur Alley," because so many of the beasts' fossils were discovered during iron mining in the 18th and 19th centuries, according to Weishampel. "Today, Maryland remains the only source of Early Cretaceous dinosaur fossils on the East Coast," he wrote in a 1996 article for Johns Hopkins University magazine.

Juana de Aragón (octubre de 1375 - septiembre de 1407) fue la única hija superviviente de Juan I de Aragón y su primera esposa Marta de Armagnac. Era miembro de la Casa de Aragón (La Casa de Barcelona se había fundido en la anterior con el matrimonio de Ramón Berenguer, conde de Barcelona y príncipe de Aragón, con la reina Peronila de Aragón) y fue Condesa de Foix por su matrimonio con Mateo I de Foix.  Gran Enciclopedia Catalana (ed.): «Juana de Aragón y de Armagnac» (en catalán).

Juana nació en Daroca, la segunda de cinco hijos nacidos en el primer matrimonio de su padre. Con su segunda esposa, Violante de Bar, sólo tuvieron una hija que sobrevivió hasta la edad adulta, Yolanda.

El 4 de junio de 1392, Juana se casó con Mateo de Foix en Barcelona, hijo de Roger Bernardo II, vizconde de Castelbon. Era su primo cuarto, ambos descendientes de Pedro III de Aragón. Estuvieron casados durante quince años, pero en este tiempo no tuvieron hijos.

En 1396, el rey Juan murió. Le sucedió su hermano Martín, el tío de Juana. Sin embargo, los nobles sicilianos estaban causando disturbios y Martín fue retenido en Sicilia. Mientras tanto, la esposa de Martin, María de Luna, reclamó el trono en su nombre y actuó como su representante hasta que llegó en 1397. Aun así retraso abrió el camino para que surgieran más problemas y disputas en Aragón. Su derecho al trono era disputado por Mateo y Juana. Sin embargo, Martín logró anular la invasión por las tropas de Mateo y Juana.

Yolanda, la medio hermana pequeña de Juana, reclamó el trono con el apoyo de su madre, a pesar de que Juana todavía estaba viva. También fracasaron pero Yolanda se casó con Luis II de Nápoles cuyos hijos desafiaron todos los derechos de Martín al trono.
Juana, que no se convirtió en reina de Aragón, murió sin hijos en Valencia en septiembre de 1407. Después de la muerte de Martín, Yolanda intentó nuevamente reclamar Aragón pero fracasó.

SAPCO there and now
High tension leads
Feed-through and other products
The company was established in 1949 in Courbevoie, to the West of Paris, manufacturing electric component, plugs, switches, fuses. Very quickly, the use of porcelain was overtaken by a new insulating material for electro-technical applications: steatite (chemical name of talc). This made for the rapid success of the company.
To differentiate itself from the competition, the company moved the production from semi-finished ceramic components, to completely finished products: fully assembled metal electrodes, incorporating the ceramic component. Always in search of an improvement of its products, SAPCO invests in a process to produce ceramics using alumina, of higher quality and superior performance.
Faced with the company's growth thanks to those technical advances, the company created a new production plant in 1970 in a town in the south of Paris called Le Coudray-Montceaux, which is its headquarters today. Following the pressure of countries with low production costs, like China, SAPCO decided to concentrate on a niche market: the manufacture of electrodes for condensing boilers, whose production requires more expertise, which enhanced the company's know-how by manufacturing a more technical product. To help customers deal with specific problems such as the electrical arcing, or the Corona effect, the company also developed special connectors and cables to solve these problems and so was able to offer a complete product range for its customers.
SAPCO today
Today, SAPCO is a family business which contributes to the wellbeing of households by manufacturing critical boiler's components. The company has business in more than 25 countries, on all continents, mostly in Northern America and in Europe.
SAPCO is an international leader in the field of ignition technologies for the combustion industry, specialized in the design and manufacturing of ignition electrodes, flame rods, feedthroughs, high voltage cables and connectors for boilers, burners, and combustion system. There are numerous applications, including ignition, flame detection, but also high voltage transmission with gas tight feedthrough.
Sapco is a vertically integrated pure player, producing ceramic, electrodes, forming, shaping, and assembling in our facility located near Paris.

Want to meet the Challenge of a Living Building?
The Living Building Challenge
The Living Building Challenge is a philosophy, an advocacy tool, and a certification program. It addresses building projects at all scales, from renovations to public spaces to multifamily housing.
The Metaphor of the Flower
At Healthy Building Science, we are inspired by the principle that all projects should use nature as the ultimate measurement stick for performance. The Living Building Challenge uses the metaphor of the flower to illustrate this point. We strive to create buildings that:
Interchange elements through the movement of water and air, allowing buildings to "breathe."
Shield occupants from the harmful effects of electricity and technology.
Are built from natural and life-friendly materials.
Operate efficiently, considering the resource needs of the overall system.
The Materials Petal and the Red List
The Precautionary Principle underlies the Materials Petal: in the absence of a scientific consensus that a material is conducive to life, the burden of proof falls on those who would advocate for its use.
There are 14 chemicals and materials on the Red List in the Living Building Challenge, representing over 300 chemicals and materials, when used in combination with other materials.
Eliminating these chemicals from a project is no small order, but it is a practice we undertake with all our clients. Regardless of whether a project aims to be a Living Building, we screen every material that goes into one of our healthy homes or commercial buildings with this level of detail.
Our expertise in Building Science, Building Biology, and healthy building materials can help owners strive for the Living Building Challenge, the most stringent green building standard (in the world? in the world today?).

President Muhammadu Buhari Receives Report of SARS Reform
June 3, 2019 in Latest News, Speeches and Remarks
Remarks of President Muhammadu Buhari on the Submission of the Report of the Presidential Panel on Special Anti-Robery Squad (SARS) Reform
Protocols:
I am very pleased to receive you all on this occasion of the presentation of the Report of the Presidential Panel on SARS Reform, which was constituted as a result of public outcry and various media reports on allegations of human rights violations perpetrated by officers and men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
Reforming and repositioning the Nigeria Police Force to be more effective and efficient in safeguarding lives and properties, apprehending offenders and generally improving the internal security of our Nation in line with our laws and international best practices has been one of the major policies of this Administration.
In order to reposition the Nigeria Police Force to effectively carry out its statutory responsibilities, I have taken major steps by increasing the workforce of the Nigeria Police as well as improving the welfare of Police officers, because they put their lives on the front line on a daily basis so that the rest of us may freely go about our business in safety.
However, in carrying out their statutory responsibilities, the Police must at all times act within the ambit of the law and must not violate the fundamental human rights of Nigerians whom they have sworn to protect.
Where the rights of Nigerians are violated by Police Officers while discharging their functions, the Government has a responsibility to address the instances of violation in line with its human rights obligations and ensure that such Police Officers are held accountable for their actions.
It is in recognition of our obligations under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and International Human Rights Laws, that this Administration decided to set up this Presidential Panel and directed the National Human Rights Commission to constitute its membership in order to investigate the various public outcries and media reports alleging human rights violations against citizens by officers of SARS.
The panel was empowered to make appropriate recommendations not just for holding Police Officers found wanting accountable, but also, on ways SARS and by extension, the Nigeria Police could be generally reformed.
The decision directing the National Human Rights Commission to constitute the membership of the Panel and to take the lead in investigating the said allegations of human rights violation, was borne out of the mandate of the National Human Rights Commission which include the promotion, protection and enforcement of human rights in Nigeria as enshrined under sections 5 and 6 of the NHRC Act, 1995 (as amended).
It is also in recognition of the fact that the decisions, determinations and recommendations of the Commission are binding and enforceable as provided under section 22 of the NHRC Act, 1995 (as amended).
I am very happy with the work of the Panel and thank the Panel members for working hard towards the realization of the Presidential Directive.
I believe that the Report of the Panel and recommendations contained therein would go a long way in redressing the grievances of the complainants, ensure accountability on the part of the Police Officers in discharging their responsibilities and facilitate the various Police reforms being introduced by this administration.
I want to assure you and all Nigerians that this Administration will continue to fulfill its obligations of promoting and protecting human rights of Nigerians, and will give the National Human Rights Commission all the support required to ensure full implementation of the recommendations contained in its Report.
In addition, we will strengthen the operations of the Commission to enhance its effectiveness and capability to resolve cases of human rights violations.
This administration is conscious of the role the Commission plays in ensuring security and stability in the nation through the resolution of complaints of human rights violations, which if neglected, could result into major security challenges.
As you are aware, I have recently approved the reconstitution of the Governing Council of the Commission. The names of the Council members will be submitted to the National Assembly for confirmation before the inauguration of the Council in line with NHRC Act, 1995 (as amended).
I want to thank the Panel once more, and hereby direct that since the recommendations of the Commission that constituted the Panel are enforceable as decisions of the Court, that the Inspector General of Police and the Solicitor General of the Federation/Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Justice meet with the Commission to work out the modalities for the implementation of the Report within 3 months from today.
I thank you and may Almighty God bless our country.

Q: Using angular-ui-routing, why is my express routing not working? I am using angular-ui/ui-routing. The problem lies with either my angular routing, or my server routing, I don't know which. My express routing is this:
var compositions = require('../controllers/comptroller');
module.exports = function(Compositions, app, auth) {

        app.route('/critique')
        .post(auth.requiresLogin, compositions.createCritique);

    app.route('/users')
    .get(compositions.showProfile);

    app.route('/compositions/:compositionId')
    .get(compositions.show)
    .post(auth.requiresLogin, compositions.createCritique);

    app.route('/compositions')
   // .get(compositions.profile)
    .get(compositions.all)
    .post(auth.requiresLogin, compositions.fileUpload);

and my angular routing is this:
$stateProvider
  .state('all compositions', {
    url: '/compositions/recent',
    templateUrl: 'compositions/views/list.html'
  }).
state('create comp', {
    url: '/compositions/create',
    templateUrl: 'compositions/views/create.html',
     resolve: {
            loggedin: checkLoggedin
        }
}).
state('myuser', {
    url: '/users',
    templateUrl: 'compositions/views/profile.html',
     resolve: {
            loggedin: checkLoggedin
        }
}).

I am using a state machine to handle routing. When I navigate to localhost:3000/#!/users I receive my profile.html template, which is what I want. However, the GET request on my express route never gets called. I am trying to get the function 'showProfile' but it never hits the function. UNLESS, I navgiate to localhost:3000/users, then the function, showProfile gets called, but the template, profile.html does not. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I need to get to the showProfile function in order to query my mongo database. Any advice or help is appreciated, thank you.
EDIT: Interesting to note, if I were to put compositions.showProfile in another app.route, I hit the backend function, and load the template. It's for this route, /users, it does not seem to work.

J.K. Rowling to be Honored at Pride of Britain Awards
Posted by: SueTLC
A few days ago we first told you about the Pride of Britain awards which will be held tomorrow night in London, England and that actress Emma Watson and J.K. Rowling would be attending this event. Tonight GMTV is reporting that Jo will also be honored at this event, getting special recognition for the following:
"Twelve years ago, a woman sitting in Edinburgh coffee shop could be seen scribbling in a notebook, creating the life of a schoolboy wizard. Since the success of Harry Potter, Jo has inspired a new generation of avid readers, and she has encouraged a whole host of wannabe writers to put pen to paper. But despite a full-time writing schedule, Jo is also President of the charity One Parent Families, the patron of The Multiple Sclerosis Society and co-founder of the Children's High Level Group, helping young people in care."
As reported previously, these awards "honor those real life heroes in the UK, such as" an air stewardess who delivered and battled to save a 1lb premature baby at 30,000ft to Britain's oldest man, the last First World war volunteer, who still visits schools to educate children at the age of 111 years old." Others attending this event including UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Prince Charles, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, and UK audio book narrator Stephen Fry among others. These awards will be held tomorrow night, and then will be broadcast Wednesday, October 10 on UK channel ITV1 9:00pm ' 10:30pm. If anyone can capture this video, please send it in!
Thanks paul for emailing and to radcakesfan!
