The issue that is of great importance to discuss at this point, requires that I go back a few years to pick up the story, and that is that I've emphasized several times the enormous demands for cell cultures that were made by people in the United States and Europe. And it soon became apparent that I was spending, and my technical helpers were spending an enormous amount of time and energy, and funds as well, Wistar overhead funds, which was indirectly supporting our work, such that my time that I wanted to use for my regular work was diminishing. At about this time, in fact it was rather early on, a fellow who I had known for many years, a cell culturist, who... who worked at the National Institutes of Health, a man by the name of Robert Stevenson, who was also a cell culture pioneer, but by this time he had an administrative job at the NIH. He was very influential in promoting the cell culture activities throughout the United States.
Because my cell cultures, WI-38 and WI-26, were used widely at the NIH, a government facility, of course, and by many government grantees who were now dependent on these cells for their research activities, made the demand for the cells actually skyrocket. Bob Stevenson came to me one day, I knew him personally, of course, from former meetings on tissue culture subjects, and Bob said, 'Len, look, we know that you're struggling to keep up with the demand for these cells, and it's apparent to you and to me that the NIH and our grantees are dependent on you as a source of these cells for their work. What about my preparing a contract for you – and the title of the contract is important, as will be shown later – to produce, store, and distribute? Those are the key three words – produce, store, and distribute – your cell cultures to properly qualified folks in the research, not only in the United States but even worldwide, as I recall the contract later was interpreted to cover. But this was a windfall because now, and of course this did indeed happen, I had funds, sufficient to hire another technician whose sole job it would be to prepare cultures, package them and ship them, and that was a big relief.
It's important to note at this point, the contract did not cover the development of a cell culture. It did not cover the research that went into it. It did not cover anything other than storing the ampoules, distributing them, and producing enough to meet the demand. And this will become an important issue later on.
Leonard Hayflick (b. 1928), the recipient of several research prizes and awards, including the 1991 Sandoz Prize for Gerontological Research, is known for his research in cell biology, virus vaccine development, and mycoplasmology. He also has studied the ageing process for more than thirty years. Hayflick is known for discovering that human cells divide for a limited number of times in vitro (refuting the contention by Alexis Carrel that normal body cells are immortal), which is known as the Hayflick limit, as well as developing the first normal human diploid cell strains for studies on human ageing and for research use throughout the world. He also made the first oral polio vaccine produced in a continuously propogated cell strain - work which contributed to significant virus vaccine development.

You've completed your novel. It's so horrible that you're ashamed. What on earth gave you the idea that you could write a novel, much less write bestselling fiction? Calm down. If you've got a mess, that's AMAZING. It's exactly what you're supposed to have at the first draft stage.
Seriously. Never, ever worry about your first draft. You've got a NOVEL — even in potential, and that's a huge achievement. Celebrate that.
Let's look at what a "draft" is. Creating a second draft/ rewriting isn't recreating your novel from the beginning. (That said, it can be, if you feel that you've missed the mark completely and want a do-over.) If anything, rewriting is more akin to putting together a jigsaw puzzle, while creating some new pieces to fit.
1. What are you writing? What's the genre and story question?
Before you do anything else, reread what you've written.
Makes notes on the emotional highpoints — what makes you feel? Fiction is all about emotion, so you need to know what works, and what doesn't, at this stage.
Then decide on your genre, if you haven't done it already. Also, check to see whether you have a story question — this is the one essential which turns a mess into a potential bestselling novel.
You'll have two or three major scenes. Rewrite these, without focusing on what you've written. You know your story, your aim now is to deliver emotion in all your scenes, but most especially in the big scenes of your novel.
All plots have holes. You can ask someone else to find them for you, but try to do it yourself. Read through your novel again, and check the characters' behavior and thoughts. Do they make sense, logically? If any character's behavior doesn't make sense, that's fine — you'll need to foreshadow the weird behavior.
While you're checking, write new scenes where you need them.
Next, focus on your characters. Check how you introduce your main characters. Your main characters will change in your novel, as they grow from their experiences. Make sure you're showing the changes.
Timelines can be tricky. You can have someone's mother marrying at five years old, and a character in London when he's supposed to be on a ship somewhere in the Pacific.


There is a widespread belief that the driving force of innovation is competition between companies. The government is viewed as an obstacle holding back the full potential of entrepreneurs with outdated regulation. However, practically all tech start-ups that are poster-boys for innovation are built on two profound inventions, both of which are born out of publicly funded research: the digital computer and the internet. These inventions were not born from profit driven competition, but instead cooperation between scientists.


Looking for a good use for a little bit of canned pumpkin? This recipe uses only half a cup, and it's combined with applesauce for sweetness. I tried several variations on this recipe, and this version had the best texture. Adding chopped apples never led to a good result, but use chunky applesauce if you're looking for a bit of fruit in your muffins.
These are low in fat, and the sprinkle of pumpkin seeds makes them feel special. If you don't have any seeds, though, chopped almonds would work just as well. Either crunchy topping will complement the spices and the soft, carby muffin goodness.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, beat eggs lightly. Mix in the oil, pumpkin, applesauce, milk, and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, stir together both flours, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices until blended. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until incorporated.
Pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter into each muffin cup. Sprinkle the surface of each with pumpkin seeds, and press them gently into the surface of the batter with your fingers.
Bake at 375 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
I was holding on to this recipe until I felt that true autumn feeling, and it finally happened today. As I drove around my new neighborhood and found a road that looked downright rural, leaves of many colors littered my windshield. It's pumpkin spice season!
I often use sweet potato instead of pumpkin in baked goods because the potato leftovers are more versatile than the leftover canned pumpkin. Sweet potatoes take more time, though, since you need to microwave and peel them. The taste is similar, so use whichever item you prefer.
Combine the oats, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes.
Add the sweet potato and maple syrup and stir. Microwave for 2 more minutes, watching the bowl carefully for overflow.
Stir and serve topped with sliced almonds, as well as more cinnamon and maple syrup to taste.
When I received small pickling cucumbers in my Boston Organics produce delivery, I knew I wouldn't be making any vinegar-soaked, acidic pickles. Cucumbers aren't my favorite salad addition, either. But they add a surprising flavor to smoothies without being strong enough to overpower the sweetness of the fruit.
This is one of the more unusual smoothie combinations I've tried. Since pineapples and most berries are too low in pH for the low-acid diet, I have to get creative! The cinnamon and ginger were a nice touch here, and the unexpected flavor combo worked for me. Try adding a spoonful of almond butter if you're looking for a more filling, protein-packed snack.
Peel the cucumber, and use a small spoon to remove the seeds. Roughly chop the cucumber flesh.
Add the cucumber, pear, banana, and milk to a blender or mini-chop. Blend for about a minute until smooth.
Add cinnamon and ginger to taste. Pulse to combine and serve.
I wouldn't call these cookies, but they satisfy a sweet tooth and come in cute little packages. The texture is crispy on the outside and oatmeal-like on the inside. This is the kind of snack I would serve to my all-female book club, but it probably wouldn't fit in as well at a Superbowl party.
Be sure to use Turkish apricots if you're worried about heartburn. If not, any dried fruit will work here. If you want the bites to be more gooey and less oatmeal-like, try reducing the oats to 1 cup. This recipe is very forgiving, so throw everything in the bowl and bake!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and move the racks to the top and lower thirds of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse the oats and nuts until finely chopped.
Mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl until well combined.
Scoop 1 heaping tablespoon of dough into your hand and roll it into a ball. Place it on the parchment paper and flatten slightly. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Then switch the cookie sheets and bake for 13 to 15 more minutes, until the bites are golden brown and the air in the kitchen smells toasty.
Move bites to a cooling rack. Once cooled, store in the fridge or freeze for later.
As is obvious from the lag between blog posts, I haven't been in the kitchen much this summer. The large box of produce I get delivered every other week from Boston Organics seems to make me cook less; I've been eating a lot of simple veggie wraps, salads, and smoothies.
I've heard that avocado is delicious in smoothies, but I don't normally buy high-fat avocados. After getting one in the produce delivery, I experimented with eating a quarter of an avocado at a time. With a relatively low-fat meal, it didn't cause any heartburn.
To store the rest of the avocado between uses, leave the extra flesh in the skin and wrap the whole thing tightly in plastic wrap. Be sure to push the plastic into empty space in the skin.
Place the first 6 ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth.
For an extra-thick smoothie, add yogurt or more banana and blend again.

Android: not merely another word for "robot." It's also a wise decision proper who wants a portable device unshackled by the closed os's utilized by certain other smartphone manufacturers. The result is a collection of games that's nearly bottomless. Even when you've been navigating the Google Play look for years, it can be hard to learn where you should start. That's where we come in. Below, here's our set of the dozen best games for Android devices.
The newest gaming sensation to emerge in 2020 is Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout. The charming game, that adds a bit of game-show spin to the battle royale genre, is a huge resounding success.
Fall Guys has recently spawned multiple apps and games looking to get aboard the hype train and reap the benefits of the trend. The game has even overtaken industry juggernaut Fortnite as it pertains to streams.
You might find thousands of Android games on the Google Play Store. But don't you think that it's very difficult to find out the actual gems? Yes, it seems to be very difficult. Furthermore, it's too embarrassing to find a game boring just when you have downloaded it. This is why I are determined to compile typically the most popular Android games. I do believe it could come as a great help for you if you should be really willing to take pleasure from your leisure by playing Android games.
Fall Guys is one of the most fun games players have noticed recently and is a more laid-back experience compared to standard battle royale. To date, there hasn't been a Fall Guys app for mobile devices.
However, there are many of games you are able to download from Google Play Store for the time being.
We're past the half way point in 2020. One suspects that for most of us, 2021 can't come soon enough.
Still, there's no knocking the grade of the mobile games we've been getting of late. In the last 30 days approximately we've received some absolutely killer ports alongside a smattering of first-rate mobile originals.
July was heavy on the'killer ports'part of this equation. But some of these have been of really a high quality, with one or two of the next selections arguably playing best on a touchscreen.
Google Play Store provides you the very best and award-winning games that would allow you to eliminate your boredom during the lockdown due to the ongoing global pandemic. The app downloader can provide you various kinds of games such as for instance Strategy Games, Sports Games, Shooters, RPGs, and many more.
If you're a new comer to Android, or simply wish to have new games to play on your smartphone, here are some of the finest games in Google Play Store that you'll find right now.

Kathryn's Garden Musings - Winter!
Home » News » Winter!
It seems that Mother Nature has decided we'll need to practice patience and wait a wee bit longer for spring to burst forth. I confess I'm far from patient but it does mean the opportunity for me to indulge in another favourite pastime of mine — reading next to the warmth of a roaring fire. Ah yes, dear readers, of course those books are all about gardening.
I've been reading all about cottage gardens recently. What I love about them is their mix of the practical with the very beautiful. There was nothing romantic about having to grow enough crops to feed yourself and your family but even with that necessity, it didn't stop those gardeners growing flowers for the local village show.
Often the gardens had a small orchard with apples, pears, plums and quince. Herbs would be grown in pots close to the house for easy access from the kitchen. Another area would be given over to vegetables and whatever space that was left would be filled with flowers, more often than not those self seeders that would require little effort or cost in purchasing seed.
Another topic that has loomed large in the headlines recently has been plastic and what appears to be compelling and damning environmental evidence against what was once deemed an innovation.
So rather than look on, I've decided to take some action inspired by those cottage gardeners of old. I've often thought that buying herbs in plastic pots wrapped in another layer of plastic is far from sensible, so this year I'm going to attempt to be herb self-sufficient and grow all of my own. I've already established a couple of patches of flat leaved parsley. It does require a trip behind the garage which ordinarily is a nice walk but in the cold winter is far less appealing. So I'm going to start some new plants and a herb growing patch nearer the house.
The way I started my current herb collection was to focus on growing the ones I used most in cooking. I grow bay, chives, mint, dill, oregano, thyme and rosemary all of which I use, but what I really need to grow is coriander, sage and tarragon. They all need more sun and more free draining soil, frankly a bit more effort on my clay soil. So, I'm going to take a leaf out of the cottage gardener's book and grow them next to my front door, a south facing sheltered space, in gritty free draining soil that they'll do well in. Frankly there is nothing so disheartening than going to all the effort to plant things only to have them sulk and ultimately perish.
Then I'll be able to make my own 'smudge sticks' by tying bundles of herbs together with string. When they're dry I can light them to cleanse a space. I'd be delighted if a few neighbours joined me in becoming herb self-sufficient — or perhaps you already are?


It is being reported that the Trudeau government will soon announce that marijuana will be legal in Canada by July 1, 2018.
The pledge to legalize marijuana was one of the most controversial (but effective in winning some of the youth vote) policies of the campaign.
The plan will reportedly put provinces in charge of how marijuana is sold, and will also decide the price. With provinces handling implementation of the policy, the federal government will oversee the safety of the marijuana supply and will control licensing of marijuana producers.
While many Canadians may support the idea of legalizing marijuana, there are concerns about the policy possibly leading to a growth in drug use among young people. The Globe/Nanos poll showed 51% of Canadians are worried that legalization will increase marijuana use, while 45% do not share that concern.
The Liberal plan appears to be one that will favour powerful corporations and government over small businesses. There is no doubt that the marijuana market will become incredibly lucrative. However, by putting regulatory power in the hands of the federal government, combined with their ongoing crackdown on small marijuana dispensaries, the government seems to be following a path that will concentrate the windfall from legal marijuana in the hands of politicians and big business.
Just as bad, provinces like Ontario are already musing about using liquor stores to control marijuana sales. That is unfortunate. The last thing we need is more of a big government nanny-state telling us what to do, but politicians like Justin Trudeau and Kathleen Wynne will never miss an opportunity to extract more in taxes and make government more powerful.
To that end, the Trudeau government will limit the number of personal pot plants to 4 per household – a policy which will favour large corporations and put more tax money in government hands.
Polls show Canadians oppose a government-controlled marijuana distribution system, with 44% saying they prefer dedicated marijuana dispensaries, 43% favouring pharmacies, and just 36% favouring government-regulated liquor stores.
Who can trust this promise?
Consider the fact that Trudeau has broken almost every promise he made. Even if he does soon announce the timeline for legal marijuana (an announcement is expected next month), why should anyone believe him? Only when the policy actually changes will there be any reason to think Trudeau is really planning to follow through.
The drug war has been a total failure. In Canada, we've spent massive amounts of taxpayer money only to end up with the highest percentage of our youth using cannabis. Clearly, the current policy was not working.
Considering that our police and security forces have limited budgets, I would much rather see them spend their time and money going after terrorists and rapists, rather than going after marijuana users. And considering the horrendous and rising death toll of Fentanyl, more resources are need there as well.
Sending Canadians to jail for marijuana use makes no sense, and I'm wary of any big-government approach that takes away someone's freedom because they use pot.
For those reasons, I think marijuana legalization could be a good idea – if handled correctly.
Unfortunately, I have zero trust that Justin Trudeau will handle it correctly, since he has failed at just about everything else.
The biggest concern is not under-regulation but over-regulation. The government is clearly going to ignore market forces and instead impose prices (at the provincial level). Politicians – always wanting more of our money – will set the price at a level that makes illegal producers and sellers a bargain compared to the government prices.
That will lead to the worst of both worlds: We will still have an illegal market – which is increasingly dangerous as marijuana is more powerful and laced with more other drugs than ever before. But we would also have government concentrating even more power and money in their hands.
Considering the obsession that Trudeau and politicians like Kathleen Wynne have with big-government, that worst-case scenario is very likely.
To prevent that, the government would need to dramatically toughen penalties on those who sell drugs (including marijuana) to children and keep prices low enough to increase the market share of the legal marijuana market vs illegal producers and sellers. But Trudeau is both weak on crime and ignorant of the market, so that kind of policy intelligence is unlikely from him.
That leaves many legitimate concerns – especially for parents – that the government will have to address. If they actually manage to pull off a half-decent marijuana policy, it would demonstrate a level of competence and wisdom we have so far not seen from the Trudeau government.
And however it turns out, Trudeau has still failed so miserably everywhere else that he needs to be decisively booted from office in 2019.
Something that will certainly be overlooked by the establishment media is the way the information on the upcoming policy change "got out" to the public. CBC was first to report on the Liberals bringing forward their marijuana legalization plan. Of course, CBC is a government-controlled broadcaster, so any leak is almost certainly deliberate.
With his poll numbers falling after a terrible budget and his forcing the dangerous M-103 motion against the opposition of Canadians, Trudeau desperately wants to change the channel. Talking about marijuana legalization is almost certainly a political ploy to try and distract us.
That's why those of us opposed to Trudeau's destructive agenda need to keep the focus on his lies and his disturbing agenda of weakening our country. Trudeau has been consistently supporting those forces that oppose our Canadian principles and values, and that must be relentlessly brought to light.
Trudeau may be trying to hide his failures in a cloud of marijuana smoke, but Canadians can still see right through it.

Childers celebrates Gaydon's building 125 years
Wayne Heidrich
Pictured at the 125th anniversary celebrations of Gaydon's Building in Childers are (from left) Dr Brett Phillips, the building's current dental practitioner, Gaydon family descendants Susan, Paul, Murray, Liam and Sandra and Tony Boland. Bev Santacaterina, coordinator of the Old Pharmacy, the museum located in Gaydon's Building is at far right.
The 125th anniversary of the historic Gaydon's building in Childers was celebrated today.
The two-storey Gaydon's Building is currently occupied by local dentist Brett Phillips through to the upstairs level while the Isis District Historical Society operate the Pharmaceutical Museum located on the ground floor.
Descendants of the building's founder, Thomas Gaydon, were among those in attendance.
Dr Phillips said the original Gaydon's Building, a single-storey structure, was built in 1894 and was home to Gaydon's Pharmacy operated by a leading Childers businessman, Thomas Gaydon.
"Unfortunately the disastrous fire of 1902 which ravaged the main street of Childers claimed the building and 22 other premises," he said.
"Thomas Gaydon rebuilt and resumed his thriving business. He was a versatile man carrying out the duties of chemist, dentist, optician, vet, anaesthetist at the local hospital and town photographer."
Deputy Mayor Bill Trevor said the Gaydon's Building is a wonderful asset to the community.
"It really does take pride of place among the heritage buildings which provide such an amazing streetscape admired by everyone who passes through Childers," Cr Trevor said.
"Thomas Gaydon was a man with tremendous energy and a great desire to carve out a future for himself and he saw fantastic opportunity in the emerging communities north of Brisbane.
"He was a chemist of four years' experience when he arrived in Childers in 1894 and selected his block of land.
"It's reported he set to work with purpose and cleared the land using a mattock so he could build The Isis Pharmacy, which was one of the first shops built in the town."
Cr Trevor said Thomas Gaydon was a public-spirited man who also served as president of the Chamber of Commerce, School of Arts, hospital and school committees at various times.
Thomas Gaydon was the second chairman of the Isis Shire Council in 1919 and served in this role again between 1924 and 1930.
His two sons, Thomas Geoffrey and Stanley Noel also followed in the footsteps of their illustrious father although Thomas Geoffrey Gaydon gained distinction during service with the Armed Forces in the First World War.
"You cannot place a value on what the Gaydon family gave to this community over an extended period of time," Cr Trevor said.

Investments by Macau companies in Guangdong increases 47.7 pct in 2012
Investment by Macau companies in Guangdong province rose 47.7 percent in 2012, said deputy governor Zhao Yufang cited by Chinese language daily newspaper Macau Daily (Ou Mun Iat Po).
Adding that investment made by companies from both Hong Kong and Macau rose by 4.5 percent year on year, the deputy governor said that all investment projects had been approved but had yet to be implemented.
In the last five years, Zhao Yufang said at a meeting with members of the Guangdong Provincial Commission of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference from Hong Kong and Macau, the province attracted investment totalling US$65.7 billion from companies in the two special administrative regions.
Figures from the statistical department of Guangdong province showed that Macau and Hong Kong accounted for 72.8 percent or US$17 billion of external investment in the first nine months of 2012. (macauhub)

A cube is just one of the 3D shapes that can be introduced to first-graders.
Using interactive games to help teach first grade students about three dimensional, or solid, shapes, gives them the opportunity to review shape names and attributes in an engaging way. Before playing the games with your class, ensure that they have been introduced to each of the shapes that will be included in your activities.
Invite pairs or small groups of students to race against each other to build their own three dimensional shapes. Provide each group of students with a specific geometric solid shape, such as a cube or pyramid, to construct. Give them an assortment of toothpicks and marshmallows or gum drops to use as the sides and corners of their assigned shape. The group that is able to construct their shape the fastest is the winner. For a variation of this game, give students paper cut-outs of two-dimensional shapes, such as six squares for a cube or a square and four triangles for a pyramid, and have them tape the pieces together to form a three dimensional shape.
See how many three dimensional shapes students can find in your classroom or around the school by sending them on a scavenger hunt. Provide each child or group of children with a list of each type of shape they should find, and have them write down the name of each object they find. For example, they might find a book, a classroom door and an eraser in the shape of a rectangular prism. If you have access to several digital cameras, invite students to photograph their finds. When the scavenger hunt is over, invite students to share their shape discoveries. The student, or group, who has found the most unusual three dimensional shape wins.
Challenge your students to a riddle contest that focuses on the attributes of three dimensional shapes, and see if they can beat you at the game. Give clues such as "this shape rolls and has circles on each of its two ends" for a cylinder, or "this shape has four rectangular sides and two square sides" for a rectangular prism. For each shape that students guess correctly, they receive a point and for each shape they are unable to name, you receive a point. As students gain more confidence with the shapes, invite them to take turns asking the riddles.
Prepare a tray full of three dimensional objects, such as an ice cream cone, a toilet paper tube and a marble. Place the tray out for students to observe for a set period of time. Once students have had the opportunity to look at all of the objects, take the tray away and ask them to recall which shapes were displayed. Another option for this game is to display several objects for each shape on the tray, ask students to recall how many items were on the tray for each shape and have them name the objects.

U of M professor to be sentenced in domestic assault case
Wednesday, a well-known University of Minnesota professor is expected to be sentenced after pleading guilty to domestic assault.
Aaron Doering, an internationally-recognized explorer and a magnet for grant money at the university, pleaded guilty in April to domestic assault by strangulation, as well as violating a domestic abuse no-contact order. Although the domestic assault was originally charged as a felony, Doering's plea deal will allow him to be convicted of a gross misdemeanor instead.

The case came to a head in December when police were called to a Minneapolis apartment on Dec. 26 on a report of a "domestic assault-in-progress."
Police gained entrance to the apartment and found Doering and a woman inside. When asked what had happened, the woman said Doering had assaulted her during the course of an argument.
One month after Doering was arrested during that dispute, two more women came forward to say he also physically abused them.

Review Of "Daughters Of Light: Quaker Women Preaching And Prophesying In The Colonies And Abroad, 1700-1775" By R. Larson
Larson has written the first comprehensive account of the role of 18th-century Quaker women ministers. Emphasizing a collective portrait rather than any individual woman, Larson shows the importance of female ministers in expanding Quakerism, holding the movement together, and helping to initiate major reform movements of the 1750s in England and America. Although considered witches during the 1650s, within a century Quaker women ministers had become respected in the general society--even more popular than male Quaker ministers in preaching to outsiders. Those who disapproved of Quakerism nevertheless admired the natural gifts of the ministers. Sympathizers, including many "New Lights," saw the female preachers as inspired by God. Readers are left with the problem of why a struggle for women's public speaking, seemingly won in the 18th century, had to be fought again after 1830. The book's lively style, reasonable price, and many illustrations show that author and publisher aimed for a general audience. Daughters of Light will also be useful for scholars of women's history because it shows how itinerant women ministers created a visible public role, exercising authority within and outside the Quaker meeting. For the Quaker historian, the book's major value is in providing a nuanced discussion of theory and practice of women's ministry.

Q: Reorganise Stored Procedures display in SQL Server Management Studio I'm currently working with an Asp.NET web application which involves a lot of stored procedures.
Since I'm also using the Asp.NET Membership/Roles/Profile system, the list of stored procedures displayed in the Microsoft Sql Server Management Studio is really becoming something of a pest to navigate. As soon as I open the Programmability/Stored Procedures tree, I have a long list of dbo.aspnet_spXXX stored procedures with my procedures loitering at the end.
What I would like to do is shuffle all those aspnet stored procedures into a folder of their own, leaving mine floating loose as they are now. I don't want to dispense with the current organisation, I just want to refine it a little.
Is it possible to do this?

A: I think the best you can do in SSMS is to use a filter to exclude the aspnet stored procedures.

*

*Right click the Stored Procedures folder

*Select Filter -> Filter Settings

*Filter by Name, Does not contain, 'aspnet_sp'.

A: I would recommend redgate's SQL search tool - handy for finding a particular proc, rather than scrolling through a large list.  Allows you to double click and go to it:
http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-search/

A: Management Studio doesn't support the ability to sort these objects other than alphabetically.
I like the filter and 3rd party add-in ideas, but another idea you can explore is using a different schema for your objects. If you name the schema 'abc' or something more logical, they will always sort first and none of your users will have to apply the filter.
CREATE SCHEMA abc AUTHORIZATION dbo;
GO
ALTER SCHEMA abc TRANSFER dbo.proc1;
ALTER SCHEMA abc TRANSFER dbo.proc2;
ALTER SCHEMA abc TRANSFER dbo.proc3;
...

Of course you will need to update your code to reference this schema and you should also change all of your users' default schema.
This isn't really one of the primary purposes of schemas, but short of putting your objects in a different database, this is one way to visually separate them.

A Big Top for Indie Rock: Looking Ahead to Brilliant Corners - Chicago
It's being billed as a Vaudeville experience for the 21st century. Comprised of part music festival, part community gathering and part circus performance to be held September 16 – 18 at Chicago's Eckhart Park.
Brilliant Corners of Popular Amusement
It's being billed as a Vaudeville experience for the 21st century. Comprised of part music festival, part community gathering and part circus performance. It's kept a relatively low profile as it approaches and may not be fully understood by those whom have heard of its ramblings. So what is Brilliant Corners of Popular Amusement and what all will be taking place under the "big top" of Eckhart Park here in Chicago this coming September weekend?
What most will notice first about Brilliant Corners is its global list of bands and musicians. Partly to due with it's conjunction with the World Music Festival but also because Brilliant Corners has a derived eclectic nature about it in general. Ranging from Hawk and A Hacksaw's eastern European folk sounds to the Latin dance rock of Columbia's Bomba Estereo and all the back home to Chicago's own pysch-trancers Cave. It's a line-up any listener will get more and more excited about as they explore the range of acts that have been assembled. But hopefully attendees won't stop their. Brilliant Corners is also offering some of the best in off-beat circus style performances to boot. Groups like The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus (replacing RICOCHET) and Chicago's own El Circo Cheapo bring contemporary circus out of the cities loft spaces and back into the big top tent where these acts once originated. It's a combination that has yet to be proven, at least in Chicago, but should perk the interest of any fan of the live arts.
The major factor Brilliant Corners has going for it in its inaugural year is in its creator and curator, Mike Reed. It's a name that has been a part of many of your Chicago music experiences even if it doesn't jump out at you at first. But consider this, if you enjoyed an early summer Monday evening at the Jay Pritkzer Pavilion or shared a blanket and some wine at the Chicago Jazz Festival you've been under the musical care of Mr. Reed. Oh, and not to forget him and his company, At Pluto, LTD, have put on Pitchfork for the last seven years here in Chicago. That alone, should make any live music connoisseur glance up from a blog and it may also be the reason there is quite a confidence in Brilliant Corners lack of over promotion in a city with an overflowing summer music scene.
Reed says that BC came together as a merging "of experiences that I've had and heard about. Little bits of ideas all collected and spit out as an event". After first seeing the usefulness of large circus tents to factor out the weather at festivals, he later started thinking about the idea of non-music events after the praise and sell out performances of the El Circo Cheapo shows.
"I've always been more interested in creating unique situations big or small," says Reed. "In this regard the idea is really about bringing together as many ways to be entertained under one umbrella -- this is basically an old Vaudeville idea. This goes further in that we can recognize and build communities of art and information by assembling in this unique way".
And in order to distance itself for being tagged as just another music festival, Reed and company have added many community focused events such as a Farmers Market and a scaled down Renegade Craft Fair in the hopes of attracting a wider audience and allowing the surrounding neighborhood to enjoy much of the event free of charge.
"If someone wants to just walk around they don't have to pay for the ability to do so. In that time they can see free music on the outdoor stage, have a beer, buy some cheese, watch some sword swallowing -- it's as much or little as they want. If they want more they can be more invested by buying tickets to the featured tent shows".
It's a concept Reed hopes he can extend well beyond this initial weekend. "I hope that people will be talking about something they've never seen before or a band that they got to see in a different setting. After that I want people to be asking when and how is it going to happen again."
And I have to say, I'm already hoping this will be the case.
From official press release:

Description Radicchio's bold flavor balances beautifully with common omelette ingredients like cheese, cream and smoky bacon.
Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Place potatoes in pan and sauté until slightly golden, add the prosciutto. When the prosciutto starts to sizzle add the radicchio and sauté until slightly wilted.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs, Parmesano-Reggiano cheese and chives together and blend into the mixture in the pan. As the eggs set, lift edges, letting uncooked portion flow underneath. When the eggs are almost set, broil 4-6 inches from the heat for 1 minute or until top is set. Top with gouda cheese slices. Broil 1 minute longer or until cheese is melted.
While your frittata is finishing, grill or toast your sliced sourdough and spread with a thin layer of crème fresh or Greek yogurt, add a slice of your frittata on top of toast and serve with a fork and knife!

Tsar Putin Brings the Sultan Wannabe Erdogan Half Way Down the Tree
Arabi Souri- March 6, 2020 - Syria- 1 Comment
Ten days ago the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov offered the neo-Ottoman Sultan wannabe Erdogan a very large banana that time to come down the tree which he climbed very fast and very high, he rejected it.
Five days later, the IRGC offered a smaller Iranian banana to Erdogan to come down the tree and showed a stick in case he goes higher up, he rejected that as well and tried to go further up.
Yesterday, the Russian Tsar Putin brought Erdogan to the Kremlin, held him behind closed doors one on one for 3 hours, and extended with Erdogan's entourage for another 3 hours, he offered him a carrot, Erdogan took the carrot and was very thankful to the Tsar.
Prior to yesterday's summit between the established Tsar Putin and the wannabe Sultan the Turkish madman Erdogan, the latter was issuing threats the combined forces of NATO couldn't achieve when they were at the height of their power and at the weakest time of the Syrian Arab Republic. The Ottoman wanted the Syrian Arab Army to withdraw from the Syrian province of Idlib, handover cities and towns freed during the past month from al-Qaeda terrorists back to those sub-humans, accept free movement of the Turkish Janissary and lift the siege off their posts they established within the Syrian province, and to stay away from the Damascus – Aleppo, and Aleppo – Latakia highways, yes, utterly insane but what to expect from someone like Erdogan?
After fierce battles throughout the month the Syrian Arab Army and their allies fought against thousands of anti-Islamic al-Qaeda terrorists and thousands of the Turkish Janissary forces (TSK or Turkish Army), the SAA managed to clean more than one thousand square kilometers and hundreds of towns, villages, and strategic hills. The military operation launched by the Syrian Arab Army and their allies was meant to implement the Sochi agreement by force after Turkey failed to implement its part of the agreement for more than 16 months, these include mainly:
Securing the north-south Aleppo – Damascus highway aka M5.
Securing the east-west highway known as the M4, especially the Aleppo – Latakia part of it which runs through Idlib province.
Cleaning Saraqib from terror, the city sits on the M4 – M5 intersection.
Disarming al-Qaeda terrorist groups like the Nusra Front aka Jabhat al-Nusra aka Al-Qaeda Levant or HTS.
All of the above-mentioned points were about to be achieved before Erdogan sent thousands of the Turkish Army troops to act as human shields to protect al-Qaeda terrorists from the advancing Syrian Arab Army, and that's exactly what they did and that's why they lost significantly when the SAA was shelling the gatherings of al-Qaeda terrorists resulting in the killing of dozens of the Turkish Army soldiers who were sharing the posts with the very terrorist group that is listed as such by the UNSC, Russia, Syria, the USA, and even by Turkey itself!
Simultaneously, the Turkish madman Erdogan unleashed a new wave of refugees towards Europe in large numbers, except this time it was obvious for the Europeans that these refugees are coming from almost everywhere else except Idlib, most from Central Asian countries all the way to Afghanistan, and some from the African east coast.
The outcome of yesterday's summit as stated by the Russian President and the Turkish madman and detailed, to some extent, by their foreign ministers, confirm the above-mentioned points:
No mention of the M5, meaning the SAA which cleaned the vital artery from terrorists will keep it.
No mention of returning Saraqib to al-Qaeda, as per Erdogan's demands.
No mention of reversing the SAA last month gains, instead, a ceasefire will be established at the current position of the SAA.
The M4 highway will be reopened and Russian and Turkish joint military police units will patrol it. There will be a 6 kilometers perimeter secured on both sides of the road.
The agreement also reiterated an article from the previous Sochi agreement that is combatting terror will continue, especially the groups designated as such by the USNC resolutions. Erdogan, instead of implementing this part of the Sochi agreement, augmented these terrorist groups, namely Nusra Front, with radical terrorists loyal to him brought from other places, launched a recruiting campaign within Turkey for Arabic speaking fanatics, supplied them with new advanced weapons including MANPADs to shoot down SAA helicopters and airplanes, anti-armored missiles, increased the intelligence sharing, and worse than all of that he sent the Turkish soldiers to sacrifice their lives in order to protect these terrorists.
Yesterday's 'agreement' explicitly states that combatting these terrorist groups will continue. I'd personally say this will continue to be carried out mainly by the Russian air forces, and by the SAA in case they try to advance towards the SAA posts or the cleaned town and villages.
The agreement does not refer to the new refugee crisis launched by Erdogan towards Europe, the ceasefire, if implemented and respected by Erdogan forces (TSK and Nusra Front) in Idlib, will drop any need for refugees coming from Afghanistan to cross into Europe, Erdogan's refugees and humanitarian abuse couldn't be more exposed and the citizens of Europe should decide through their 'democratically elected' governments whether they want to fall preys for Erdogan's blackmailing in this regard.
History, especially modern history, more precisely the events of this last decade, teaches us valuable lessons if we want to learn from it: Never trust a flip-flop, never trust a Turk with dreams to revive the buried most hated most criminal Ottoman empire, never to trust a Muslim Brotherhood, never trust a US stooge, never to trust a liar, never to trust someone who uses the suffering of innocent people, in their hundreds of thousands to his personal goals, and all these evil features are embodied in a single individual, who happens to rule a regional power for the past 17 years.

Landslides, in and of themselves, constitute a major geologic hazard. They are widespread, result in $1-2 billion in damages and cause more than 25 fatalities each year. Landslides are frequently triggered by strong ground motions. They are an important secondary earthquake hazard.
Slope material that becomes saturated with water may develop a debris flow or mud flow. The resulting slurry of rock and mud may pick up trees, houses, and cars, thus blocking bridges and tributaries causing flooding along its path. Landslide hazard maps provide planners and engineers a picture of where this hazard must be carefully assessed before development can safely occur in high risk areas.
Landslides triggered by earthquake shaking are a major concern in the Pacific Northwest. Earthquake Point in Chelan County, Washington, near Entiat is named after the ~ M7 1872 earthquake that struck nearby. The shaking split the mountain, forming the cliff to the west and causing a huge rockslide which stopped the flow of the Columbia River for several hours.
A recent study suggests the next big quake on the Seattle fault may cause devastating damage from landslides, greater than previously thought and beyond the areas currently defined as prone to landslides. Published online Oct. 22 by the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America (BSSA), the research offers a framework for simulating hundreds of earthquake scenarios for the Seattle area.
Large and small landslides occur frequently in the Puget Sound area, where glacial geology dominates, and evidence has been uncovered that details large block landslides into Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish about the time of the Seattle Fault Earthquake approximately 1100 years ago. [One enterprising individual was arrested in the 1990s for harvesting old growth Douglas Fir trees still in upright position from the floor of Lake Washington where they had been deposited by a landslide triggered by that earthquake.] Landslides into and under bodies of water can also generate tsunami or seiche waves that can be locally quite distructive.
Heavy rainfall can saturate the ground greatly increasing pore pressures particularly where porous soil layers meet less permeable soils such as clay and then move out along that boundary toward an open face or bluff.
Strong earthquake ground shaking greatly increases the likelihood of landslides where landscape is susceptible to these types of ground failure. If the ground is saturated with water, particularly following heavy rainfall, the shaking will result in more landslides than normal.
The Washington State Department of Ecology has published information about landslides, historic events, and mitigation. The City of Seattle offers vauable landslide hazard, preparedness, and policy information. Learn more about Oregon landsildes from DOGAMI.

Taroko National Park ( Chinese : 太魯閣國家公園 ; pinyin : Tàilǔgé gúojiā gōngyuán ; Pe̍h-ōe-jī : Taroko kok-ka kong-hn̂g) is one of the eight national parks in Taiwan and was named after the Taroko Gorge, the landmark gorge of the park. The park spans Taichung City , Nantou County , and Hualien County .
The park was originally established as the Tsugitaka -Taroko National Park (次高タロコ国立公園Tsugitaka Taroko kokuritsu kōen ) by the Governor-General of Taiwan on December 12, 1937 when Taiwan was part of the Empire of Japan . After the Empire of Japan's defeat in World War II , the Republic of China assumed control of Taiwan. The ROC government subsequently abolished the park on August 15, 1945. It was not until November 28, 1986 that the park was reestablished.

Affirming the strong ties between the U.S. and Israel, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet next week with President Trump at the White House and will speak an estimated 18,000 people at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's annual policy conference in Washington.
The prime minister's visit comes on the heels of President Trump's announcement Thursday in a tweet that "After 52 years it is time for the United States to recognize Israel's Sovereignty over the Golan Heights," which were captured from Syria in the Six-Day War in 1967.
Trump's announcement is welcome news for Israelis and further evidence of his strong support of the Jewish state.
Israeli voters go to the polls April 9 for parliamentary elections. Netanyahu has long sought U.S. recognition of Israel's' control of the Golan Heights. President Trump's announcement and the Israeli leader's meeting with him are both expected to boost Netanyahu's chances of staying in power in the elections.
The AIPAC policy conference has been dubbed the largest pro-Israel gathering in the United States. U.S. government officials from both parties – including Vice President Mike Pence, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. – are among the speakers, showing the closeness between the U.S. and Israel.
But AIPAC and its grassroots activists are just one small piece of a far larger pro-Israel community in the U.S. that works to support the Jewish state. Altogether, millions of Americans are eager to stand with Israel because of its commitment to democracy, human rights and freedom.
Critics of Israel have attempted to use the term "Israel lobby" as a slur. The popular and notoriously anti-Semitic book written by Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer titled "The Israel Lobby" argues that Jews and evangelical Christians who support Israel have some sort of puppet-master control over U.S. foreign policy and skew it to be pro-Israel in a secret and sinister way.
While Walt and Mearsheimer have served as the intellectual foundation of this anti-Semitic movement, prominent politicians like freshmen U.S. Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., serve as its foot soldiers.
Omar, a rising star in the Democratic Party, argued on Twitter that American politicians who support Israel do so only because they collect large campaign contributions from Jews.
Omar doubled down on this anti-Semitic charge by saying that supporters of Israel may have "dual loyalty" to a foreign nation – Israel. This is a painful charge long made against Jews, implying they can't be trusted to be patriotic citizens of the nations where they live because they have a secret loyalty to the Jewish community and (since 1948) to Israel.
Fortunately, Omar, Tlaib and other misguided critics of Israel don't represent the mainstream viewpoint in America.
Most Americans recognize that a large majority of people in the U.S. support the Jewish state. And because Jews make up only about 2 percent of the U.S. population, the vast majority of Israel's supporters in the U.S. are non-Jews.
Don't just take my word for it. Polls have repeatedly shown that nearly 3 out of 4 Americans have a positive view of Israel. That includes folks across the spectrum—from liberals to conservative evangelical Christians.
But really, is anyone surprised by this?
America and Israel are like two peas in a pod. The two countries were both established by dreamers who fought against the odds to create nations built on the principles of human dignity and freedom. Mutual respect for human rights and liberal values will always keep the U.S.-Israel relationship close and strong.
In addition to our shared values, the Jewish state continually promotes America's security interests in the Middle East. Israel serves as the main check on Iran and works to combat the regime's radical Islamist proxies across the region. The Israeli military has conducted hundreds of strikes against Iranian installations and forces in Syria alone.
Americans also greatly benefit from products and services that we use daily that come from Israel. As an example, reading this article from a smartphone would be nearly impossible if it wasn't for Israeli technology within your device. Driving would be harder without the use of the popular navigation app Waze, created by an Israeli startup that was acquired by Google in 2013 for over $1 billion.
That Via ride share you recently took to see friends or family was operated by an Israeli company. And who doesn't love a big spoonful of Sabra hummus – made by another Israel-based firm. Not to mention that American technology giants like Intel, Apple and Facebook all have significant research and development investments in the Jewish state.
To be sure, this list is just the tip of the iceberg of the special relationship shared between our two nations.
With this in mind, let us end the ridiculous notion that American support for the Jewish state is built on some secret cabal of rich Jews handing out money and operating in the shadows. This discredited and absurd conspiracy theory is blatantly anti-Semitic and completely ignores basic facts, statistics and countless polls that show otherwise.

An 18-Month Study on Narrative in Animal Advocacy
Learn how animal advocates can win over the public with a new story about animal freedom.
What's this all about? ↓Just tell me what to say →
To end animal farming, we need to act together through the government. How can we win over the public to support these actions?
It all started with a puzzle…
A large number of people say they support animal freedom…
A series of surveys in the last decade caught our attention. In these surveys, a surprisingly high number of Americans agreed with strong animal rights positions such as "all animals should have the same rights as humans" (32%) and "slaughterhouses should be shut down." (47%)
But not at the cost of personal choice.
98% of the same people agreed that "Whether to eat meat or be vegetarian is a personal choice, and nobody has the right to tell me which one they think I should do." And, of course, nearly all of them are making the "personal choice" to keep eating animals.
What if the difference was about framing?
It turns out there's a whole field of research dedicated to explaining discrepancies like this, which exist in polling about all sorts of different issues. The key concept is framing.
Framing refers to patterns in the words we use to talk about an issue. Specifically, different frames draw our attention to different pieces of information, while leaving others out.
Frames exist as observable neural structures in our brains, but they typically present as metaphors and narratives that we use to make sense of the world. Most of the frames we look through day to day have been with us since childhood.
We undertook a series of studies to uncover the frames behind latent public support for animal freedom.
Review the research on framing
Review existing research on public opinion of farming animals
Analyze narratives currently in use by advocates, industry, and news media
Interview ordinary meat eaters to deeply probe their values
Develop and test new messages in focus groups
There's lots of research comparing messages about animals, health, and the environment. This study is different.
When animal advocates think about messaging strategies, we tend to focus on the different ways that farming animals causes harm. But framing can refer to more subtle differences. There's more than one way to talk about any of these issues.
For example, compare these ads:
Cowspiracy
This is happenning
yoyoyo
Meat Mouth
Eating animals kills more animals than you think
Eat for Planet
1600 trees yo
it happens
steak man
All of these ads link meat to deforestation. But they have important differences.
The first shares lots of facts. The next two strongly emphasize the responsibility of individual consumers. The last pair each try to visualize the impact of the industry, while still nodding to consumer change.
It turns out that subtle distinctions like this may hold the key to communicating with the public.
So here's the problem:
The public knows meat is harmful, and they're buying it anyways.
Most of the people we interviewed were surprisingly quick to let us know how conflicted they are about eating slaughtered meat. Many had seen slaughter footage and almost all are aware of the ethical issues. In fact, they admit that they actively "try not to think about it" when buying meat.
And here's what we need to do differently
Animal advocates are not adequately addressing the public's rationalizations, and it makes us seem out of touch.
Animal advocates tend to dismiss these concerns. After all, they didn't stop us from changing. But in our interviews, we found that issues like this truly are important reasons people keep eating animals.
The most persistent excuse people have to ignore us is futility, and it's closely tied to the consumer frame.
When thinking only about their role as consumers, people can't imagine a change as big as leaving behind animal farming. They feel powerless and don't see how their purchase at the grocery store makes any difference, especially since none of the people around them show any signs of changing.
With futility as their excuse, people bury their misgivings about meat and stick with business as usual.
When experiencing dissonance, people fell back on familiar rationalizations like culture, tradition, and naturalness
The most common ones we heard sounded like this:
Culture/tradition:
Meat is a vital part of many important cultural traditions that wouldn't be the same without it. Preserving these outweighs other moral considerations.
Humans evolved to eat meat and should continue to do so in order to respect the balance of nature, the food chain, and the circle of life.
Meat is an affordable source of nutrition, while meat-free diets are an expensive luxury.
Meat simply tastes too good to give up.
Personal Choice
Everyone should make their own choice without pressure from others.
Futility
It doesn't matter whether I stop eating meat because everyone else will keep doing it.
In order to win over the public, we must replace the consumer frame, address common rationalizations, and lay out a credible path to a future without slaughterhouses.
Show me how we win over the public! →
We are conducting hands-on research to improve the ways animal advocates organize, take action, and communicate with the public.

'They Are Monsters': Daughters, Sisters Of Marlen Ochoa's Alleged Killers Say They Can't Forgive Them
Filed Under:Chicago, Clarisa Figueroa, Desiree Figueroa, Local TV, Marlen Ochoa, Missing Pregnant Teen
CHICAGO (CBS)– Scared to show their faces or reveal their names, the adult-twin daughters of Clarisa Figueroa describe the horror after learning, that their mother and half sister, Desiree, allegedly murdered 19-year-old Marlen Ochoa, took her baby, and tried to pass it off as their brother.
"They are monsters," one sister said. "It's just too much already, it's just too much."
The twin sisters said they are living a nightmare. They have received death threats and their children have been harassed. Because of this, they requested to hide their identity.
The twin's mother, and her daughter, Desiree, 24, have been charged with one count each of first-degree murder and aggravated battery of a child. The elder Figueroa's boyfriend, 40-year-old Piotr Bobak, has been charged with concealment of a homicide.
"My mom goes 'Do you want to see your baby brother?'" one of the twins said.
That was April 24, the day after they say their mother Clarisa called to say she had a baby. The twins said they hadn't seen their mom in nearly a year, but they did keep in contact over the phone.
The sister said her mom stayed in the hospital for three days, accompanied by her boyfriend Peter Bobak, who they confirm is seen in pictures with the baby.
One sister said she visited her mom, two days later on April 26.
"I seen the baby, and I touch the baby, and I didn't think of anything about it wasn't my brother because my mom said it was my brother," one sister said.
Both women said they grew up in an unstable home and were neglected by their mother.
"I was a teen mom at the age of 16, and lived on my own since then," one of the sisters said.
Both sisters admit they had doubts.
"They should have checked my mom. They should have made sure that the baby was hers. If they knew her tubes were tied, why didn't you double check? Why didn't you check that that was her baby," a sister said.
The twins say they will not be able to forgive their mother and sister for killing Ochoa, cutting her unborn baby from her womb, and passing the baby off as Clarisa's.
"I want to tell Marlen's family that I am so sorry for what they are going through," a sister said.
One of the twin sisters said she won't attend her mother's and sister's court hearings; and if they are convicted, she will not visit them in prison.

Florida deputy fired for taunting and threating to imprison 13-year-old autistic boy for life in mental hospital
A Florida deputy who worked part time at a middle school has been fired after he was caught on tape taunting 13-year-old autistic boy whom he threatened to cuff and take to a "mental hospital for life."
According to the Daily Mail, deputy Ural Darling, a 22-year law enforcement veteran, was working at Osceola Middle School when he was asked to assist with student Evan Dowdy who was accused of throwing a textbook at a teacher.
In video released by the the sheriff's office, Darling can be seen walking the 13-year-old down a hallway when he became enraged and threatened the boy with abusive language. The video shows Darling telling Dowdy to put his hands behind his back because he was going to cuff him.
During his tirade, Darling can be heard threatening to institutionalize the boy for life.
"This is what you've been wanting, right?" Darling can be heard shouting. "How about if I throw books at you? Last time I told you to stop that crap. I am not playing with you anymore!"
Announcing the firing of Darling for the incident that occurred in May, Sheriff Bob Gualtieri explained that Dowdy has the "cognitive skills of a first grader, his communications skills are those of a kindergartner."
Darling attempted to excuse his behavior saying he has never received training on how to deal with individuals with autism, but did apologize, saying he, "Never should have acted the way he did."
The school issued a statement saying, "We thank the Sheriff's Office for their thorough investigation into the allegations against Deputy Darling … We will work with the Sheriff's Office to identify a new school resource officer for Osceola Middle School."

Sometimes, of course, future tense is unavoidable because you're actually talking about the future. (For example: "The hedgehog will hibernate starting in October.") Attempting to predict the future in a document is usually a bad idea, but sometimes it's necessary.
But the fact that the reader will be writing and running code in the future isn't a good reason to use future tense. Stick with present tense where possible, as shown in the "Recommended" example above.

This research investigates the uses and perceived impact of engaging with research on teaching and learning. The project was carried out by NFER in partnership with United Learning.
The work contributes to the growing debate around evidence informed teaching practice. There is a widespread belief that significant improvements in educational outcomes could be made if teachers engage with the best evidence of 'what works' and develop their practice accordingly. Our joint research sought to gain a clearer picture of what current 'evidence-informed practice' (EIP) looks like, the perceived benefits of engagement, and how to develop a culture of EIP.
We conducted 17 telephone interviews with United Learning senior leaders and 39 face-to-face interviews within seven United Learning case-study schools.
Overall, engaging in research evidence was perceived to encourage practitioner reflection and open-mindedness. Teachers' openness to engaging with research and adopting different pedagogical approaches was considered to make lessons more engaging for learners.
Interviewees believed that teachers benefit from evidence through its use to inform professional development and through the confidence acquired from implementing new approaches.
SLT members explained the benefits of using research evidence to drive school improvement initiatives; to substantiate the reasons behind change; and to underpin staff professional development. Additionally, creating the right environment to nurture a culture of EIP was considered critical.
Creating the time and space to engage in evidence, and making it easy for teachers to engage with evidence (by for example having support from external experts) were also viewed as important.


Opening day for baseball is fast approaching and teams hope to fill the stadium seats. One team with a strategy in mind is the Boston Red Sox. In an effort to continue their sell-out streak they will be making some changes.
What sort of changes you ask? Well, the changes will mainly affect the price of beer. As reported by the Boston Globe, the Fenway Park beer prices are being reduced to $5 for a 12-ounce glass. Fans that frequent the park already know the hefty prices of $7.50 or $8.50 per cold one. Before you get too excited, the cheap beer, if you can call it that, will only be available at this price in April. Hotdogs will also be available for 2-for-1 and kids will eat free all month.
The discounted prices are being offered as a result of typical April weather and the fear that tickets won't sell.
'We recognize that the sellout streak is likely going to be coming to an end in early April, and we're looking for ways to thank our fans for their incredible support and commitment,' Red Sox chief operating officer Sam Kennedy said.
Although they see these prices as a real deal, will anyone be rushing to pay $5 for 12 ounces of beer?

Those saying Christians shouldn't take Covid vaccine misinformed – Ighodalo
With the rollout of Covid vaccine by leading pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Moderna, Senior Pastor of Trinity House, Ituah Ighodalo, has said there was nothing wrong with Christians taking the Covid vaccine..
The pastor of the Lagos-based church said those saying Christians should not take the Covid vaccine were misinformed, noting that the vaccine was not a "sign of the beast".
The cleric spoke on Monday while featuring on Arise TV's The Morning Show monitored by Edujandon.com .
Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, had last week said Nigeria should be taking delivery of Covid vaccine by January 2021.
Some persons have, however, expressed fears about the vaccine being tied to the 666 phenomenon mentioned in the Bible.
But speaking today, Ighodalo said the vaccine has nothing to do with the "sign of the beast".
He said, "Let us deal with facts. Fact number one is that there is virus out there. Where it came and how it came, we are not so sure but there is a virus and the virus is medically proven to be affecting people. The second thing is what is the solution? A vaccine is not the sign of the beast.
"The vaccine itself is just taking some of the virus, culturing it and putting it into somebody's body so that he can build up resistance to the disease. There is nothing wrong with that.
"People saying that we shouldn't take the vaccine are a little misinformed. They are just trying to frighten people, and prey on people's ignorance. We need a cure to this ailment. We need a prevention thereof and we must work assiduously towards it thereof.
"Yes, there is a portion of the Bible that talks about the mark of the beast -666, nobody fully understands it but the reference is to the microchips that it seems as though people will be getting – nobody can buy or sell unless they have that have it. That is technology and there is nothing you can do about it. What the Bible has done is to forewarn you about it such that you don't get under the yoke thereof.
"I think their problem is that they are thinking that very soon, they are going to insist that people will have microchips in their hands to prove that they have been vaccinated."
The cleric, however, urged Christians to pray together and resist any form of evil control over human beings.
He also advised Christians and Nigerians, in general, to trust in God to overcome the situation while observing all preventive guidelines by health authorities.
