I am a strong believer that we can always improve in what we do.
I believe it is essential, to take on new experiences and challenges which take us outside of our comfort zone, to develop confidence, resilience and overall student development in their early adult years.
I joined Beau Soleil in September 2015 as the Director of Sport and Physical Education, prior to which I was Coordinator of Physical Education at a leading sports academy based in South East London and responsible for the pastoral care of 220 students.
My focus is on innovation, enjoyment and education through physical activity using creative education methods, to develop independent thinking pupils.

Donate Enjoy pipes|drums $5.00 – $20.00
The Piper's Ultimate Reed Poker for Bagpipe Chanter Reeds with Storage Case $40.00 CAD
I've said before that Highland piping is often a solitary pursuit that attracts introverts. The lone piper. Solo competition. Hours of isolated practice at home. Maybe nowhere in our art is independence more evident than in our music creation.
An estimate based on a lifetime of observation is that 99% of pipe music is written by a lone composer. Music creation in our world is thriving, driven by an ever-present thirst for the new by competition pipe bands. A band with a strong composer in its ranks has a great advantage.
I work in the songwriting, composing and music publishing side of the music industry. Our piping and drumming world is a model of creativity. But it's also a relative outlier in that our composers don't truly collaborate with each other to make tunes together.
Songwriters (also usually introverts), on the other hand, actively seek out new ideas from their peers. They attend song camps with other writers. They trade notes, as it were, and concepts for new music. Their publishers will put together writers from disparate genres and styles to see what happens. They chip away at their stuff, adding a word here, a key change there. They experiment with different idioms. They are almost always totally open to working together to create a better or more widely appealing work.
The exceptions to pipe music composers writing in solitude are generally the instances of a composer tacking on a few parts to an existing tune. Donald MacLeod did it a lot with traditional pieces, to the point where we attribute "The Wee Man from Skye," for example, to him as the sole composer, when in fact it's his arrangement. Piping schools will sometimes have an entire class compose a tune, coming up with phrases and changes together. Mainly because these pieces are written by relatively inexperienced pipers, they're generally not great (read: terrible) compositions, but well intentioned and educational though they might be.
I was once in a band where, like most bands, we'd sit around the table with practice chanters in the winter and trade ideas on music possibilities for the next season. There were several composers in the band. They'd pitch new compositions, and the rest of the pipe corps would suggest a note change here, a timing improvement there, or even a collective Ugh! on first-listen of some or other hopeless piece. The group as a whole was a good editing machine. It was collaborative and, in many instances, it was a co-writing process. The tune got better when rattled around the ears of others.
Tunes that go through an editing process are almost invariably better. I don't know what G.S. McLennan's writing process was, but I would guess that he would, as I understand Donald MacLeod did, bounce tunes off of carefully chosen trusted pipers for their opinions and suggestions and then make many amendments and revisions before declaring a piece "final." And no piece of music is ever final, anyway.
Composers who collaborate will often realize that they're better off trashing a tune altogether. On their own, they might not twig that it's too close to another piece designed around our nine notes, or that the new tune is unplayable or, um, unappealing.
Most composers do seek advice and suggestions about their draft work, but rarely if ever would they give credit to another piper as a co-writer, whereas in songwriting and composing in other genres it wouldn't only be expected, it would be legally prudent. There's a saying in the songwriting industry: "Change a word, get a third."
How many pipe music composers sit down with one or more other composers to create a tune from scratch? Are there bands out there where the pipers sit around that winter table and collectively create a tune needed for the new medley? Or do all bands expect "the composer" in the band to come up with something great on his or her own?
I know that most of us are introverts who, perhaps paradoxically, like being in a spotlight, letting our music speak for us. But when it comes to new compositions, taking the cue from successful songwriters and seeking real collaboration could well pay better dividends for the art.
Matt MacIsaac says:
The obvious and most well-known collaborative duo I believe is Gandy / Grey, and also the only one I can think of. In folk music / piping I think Ross Ainslie and Ali Hutton do quite a bit of collaborative composing, but certainly seems to be the exception to the rule.
Funny. Maybe we're all just really selfish too?
hgm says:
Quite correct, Andrew. GS did refer much of his work-in-progress to his most trusted mentor – his own father. Several of his original manuscripts are endorsed with comments passed between the two. In addition, there are letters from Lt John to GS which also address composition matters.
There's also evidence that other piper/composers – James Robertson for example – used GS in turn as a sounding board for their own efforts.
Peter Deneen says:
Could "The Scotsaire Hornpipe", aka "An Offshoot of Sorts", be an example of this sort of collaboration? What a tune!
Pipers: Never start your tune in competition unless your pipes are 100% in tune or the red light is on.

Straight Outta Compton star O'Shea Jackson, Jr. and Fetty Wap's alleged baby's mother Celina Powell were a couple?!
Apparently, Celina thought she was his on and only girl, while O'Shea was playing the field and the two started twitter beefing last night after O'Shea tweeted he wasn't looking for a girlfriend. That got his boo Celina all in her feelings and she started posting pics of his messages to her.
When he threatened to get his lawyers involved, she deleted them, but not before explaining herself.
Celina is the girl who slept with Fetty Wap after meeting him once in his hotel room after sliding in his Remy Boyz group member Monty's DMs. They had unprotected sex in the hotel on Instagram. She immediately started claiming she was pregnant, posting pics of a pregnancy test and tagging Fetty in them. It was later revealed she was faking the pregnancy and the pregnancy tests belonged to a friend of hers.
She's trying to come up by any means necessary…

Hillary Clinton Emails
The 11 gushiest emails in Hillary's inbox
By Nick Gass
In between the messages about Israeli policy and Pakistan's nuclear weaponry, Hillary Clinton's inbox contained plenty of gushing emails that the former secretary of state, her aides and her acquaintances freely tossed about.
The latest trove of Clinton's emails released by the State Department Monday night show the unabashed love fest, with the affection often flowing both ways during her time at Foggy Bottom. A simple search on State's website reveals the words "thank you" came up often in the emails.
Here are 11 of the most doting messages:
New Year's wishes
Clinton wrote an email to Anne-Marie Slaughter, the State Department's director of policy planning, on Jan. 1, 2010, thanking her for two recent memos and for her "wonderful year of work, creativity, collaboration and progress."
"I know the start for all of us was shaky, but we have hit our stride and you are such a valuable member of the team, a generator of ideas, a conductor of talent and even a necessary nudge from time to time. Thank you for making this journey w me," she wrote.
Slaughter responded in kind, thanking Clinton for "such a lovely note."
"Life seems very sweet indeed this New Year's Day, and all the more so with the privilege of doing meaningful and important work with a great team of people and a leader whom I am proud to serve," she wrote. "It has been quite a journey indeed, one thathas been hard at times, but immensely rewarding. Happy New Year, and here's to a great 2010."
The Oscars and politics
On March 8, 2010, after Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to take home the Academy Award for Best Director for her film "The Hurt Locker," Sidney Blumenthal opined that "it was Hollywood's re-voting of the 2008 primaries."
Bigelow prevailed in the category over ex-husband James Cameron, who directed the box-office behemoth "Avatar," a fact that Blumenthal described as "not giving it to the 'Avatar,' but to the tough woman."
Praise from Gordon Brown
"Bravo! Brava! Issue your statement!" Blumenthal wrote in a February 2010 email congratulating the secretary of state on her role helping reach an agreement in Northern Ireland to devolve powers from the British parliament.
"I will be doing a press event at 8:30. Do you know if Gordon mentioned me? Can you find out?" Clinton asked, referring to then-Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Blumenthal responded that ambassadors at the event would praise her role.
State aide Jake Sullivan followed up with an update on what the British prime minister said.
"Great ideas (no surprise)"
An email forwarded by aide Cheryl Mills to Clinton in January 2010 contained ideas from education activist David Domenici, Mills' domestic partner, on how to rebuild infrastructure in Haiti following the devastating earthquake that struck the island the previous week.
"Read all the way down (2 emails)," Mills wrote in her message.
Clinton's response: "Great ideas (no surprise). Let's work toward solid proposal maybe to Red Cross and Clinton Foundation since they have unencumbered $."
"My favorite secretary of state"
In an August 2010 email, Kris Durmer, general counsel for the General Services Administration, wrote Mills to convey his congratulations "to my favorite Secretary of State for the re-launch of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations."
"Good stuff! Would love to swing by to say 'hello' to you all if you ever have a moment. Let me know," Durmer wrote in the message, which Mills forwarded to Clinton.
"Pls add to dropby list," Clinton instructed an assistant.
Diane Reynolds'/Chelsea's "favorite secretary"
In an email chain from February 2010, Chelsea Clinton (emailing under her Diane Reynolds pseudonym), prefaced a complaint about the State Department's website with the salutation, "to my favorite secretary of state."
Clinton forwarded the email on to aide Philippe Reines, cc'ing Huma Abedin.
"Hillary would approve ... not too many swear words"
Film executive Harvey Weinstein recommended one of his studio's upcoming films to the secretary in an August 2010 email to State official Capricia Marshall.
"I have such fond memories of you guys watching SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE. I made another movie you might like about the ascendancy of King George after Edward abdicated, it's called KINGS SPEECH," Weinstein wrote, adding that "Hillary would approve because it's PG-13 with not too many swear words."
The film went on to earn an R rating in the United States, though, in large part thanks to a scene featuring a cascade of profanity from the main character as he tried to work through his stammering. Like the aforementioned "Shakespeare in Love," the Colin Firth vehicle would go on to win four Oscars the next year, including Best Picture.
"I love you. I respect you. I miss you."
Ad guru Roy Spence showered the secretary with praise for her work at the State Department in an April 2010 email. Spence, who has advised Clinton's 2008 campaign and is playing a role in her current one, has been a longtime family friend. Spence also created the "Don't Mess with Texas" slogan as well as Southwest Airlines' "You are now free to move about the country."
Writing Clinton directly, Spence remarked upon the "raw respect" she has earned and the "love and respect you give freely to all whom love life and liberty and opportunity for all."
"The struggle for an Iran that is more concerned about its people than false power. The relentless quest to stabilize the un-stable. The never give up journey to inspire and empower women and young girls to have a seat at the table of full opportunity. The pursuit for opening doors of happiness for those who struggle with the unimaginable. The steady. The Steadfast. The unwavering commitment to the dream — not the hope — but the dream of a better USA and world for all. The tough and uncompromising 'pretend leaders' whom you have [to] negotiate with. The opinion rich and caring poor arrogance of the mean spirited. The stuff that is on the news but is not really the real news," Spence added.
"Please please please * note there are *three pleases"
Longtime Clinton family friend Lanny Davis wrote Clinton to ask her if she would speak to a reporter about their working relationship for an article in which he anticipated that "cheap shots" would be taken at him. Or, if she could not speak to the journalist herself, he added, perhaps Reines or Mills could issue a statement on her behalf.
"Please please please * note there are *three pleases*: *Do not be bashful or concerned about saying no to my request," Davis entreated. "As you can see, I have a number of people who have talked to the reporter or, in the case of President Clinton and President Bush, who may be giving written statements. I was not even going to ask you for that reason since I didn*t want you to feel badly if you have to say no."
"The honest to goodness truth is ... aside from Carolyn, my four children, and my immediate family," Davis gushed, "I consider you to be the best friend and the best person I have met in my long life. You know that from the dedication and appreciation of you I have always felt and expressed to you over four decades. So that is why your comments would mean a lot to me, even if just a written statement."
Clinton passed along the email to Mills and to Reines, whose further guidance is redacted.
A longtime staffer's departure
David Helfenbein, who had worked for Clinton in various capacities since he was a teenager, wrote Clinton an email of more than 600 words to express his gratitude for everything she had meant to him over the preceding decade. Helfenbein, who founded "Kids 4 Hillary" in 2003, worked as a volunteer, an intern and a staffer on Clinton's Senate campaigns before working for her at Foggy Bottom.
Upon his departure from the Obama administration in June 2010, Helfenbein took care to emphasize his appreciation and that his leaving did not mean that he was leaving "you or your team."
"Sometimes people ask me why I have been dedicated to working for you for so many years. It is not for fame or glory. The truth is, I have worked for you because I have always believed in you," Helfenbein wrote. "You are one of a kind — there is no other one like you, and there never will be. I truly believe that the world needs you in whatever capacity that you are in. And more than anything, I am most appreciative and thankful for all that you have offered me: Not only the mentorship and guidance but the continuous opportunities to learn. On my own path of public service, I can truly say that I was able to learn time and time again from the very best. Parting from your team is thus not an easy task for me, especially leaving Philippe's direct team, where I really enjoy what I am doing.
"But I also feel that I want to take another next step forward/a different one in my own life. And I am hopeful that this is not a permanent goodbye in any way. I hope that you and I can remain in touch via email, and I promise not to email too often, as I know how busy you are. But I must reiterate one comment that I made: I have worked for you for so long for a reason: Not for my resume. Not for myself, But because of you. I am confident enough to say that I know you well enough to tell others that I have worked for the most brilliant mind and strongest leader I will ever see in my lifetime. And I am incredibly proud of that," he wrote.
"Let's hear it for the nuns"
Maryland Sen. Barbara Mikulski exalted in the House's passage of the Affordable Care Act in March 2010, praising the work of Roman Catholic nuns in pushing it across the finish line.
"Whew once again u are in the thick of thing--- but didn't it make your heart feel good about the passage of. Health.Care----and. The. Nuns pushed it over the finish line----as usual in the fcore front of. Social. Justice and a daringwillingness. To break with the. Boys if you need a tonic. Go to the. Nuns exhibit @ the. Smithsonian--- Ripley.Center. Gives the 250 year history of. Nuns in. Usa. And their role in shaping. Our country and producing 1000s ofwomen leaders with names like. Pelosi. Mikulski. Ferrar0. Sebilius.takes less than a hour. You are doing great," the senator wrote.
"Let's hear it for the nuns — I knew when they came out, the die was cast and Bart would get his knuckles rapped," Clinton wrote, referring to Michigan Democrat Bart Stupak's opposition to the bill unless it did not prohibit the federal funding of abortion. Stupak and President Barack Obama came to an agreement earlier in the month in which the president promised to sign an executive order that would ban the funding of abortions through the law now popularly known as Obamacare.
"Now, let's wrap this up in the Senate and go drink something unhealthy!" Clinton declared. "All your AIPAC friends told me you're doing well so take care and keep going — w the wind at you back and my fervent cheers — Hillary."
Hillary Clinton,

A FN FNP é uma série de pistolas semiautomáticas com armação de polímero fabricada em Columbia, Carolina do Sul, pela FNH USA, uma divisão da Fabrique Nationale de Herstal. A pistola estreou no início de 2006 e utiliza os cartuchos 9x19mm Parabellum, .40 S&W, .45 ACP e .357 SIG.

Características-padrão
Todas as variações da pistola incluem alavancas de decocking ambidestras e um retém do carregador reversível, além de um trilho tático para acessórios integrado. Além disso, a FNP-45 oferece um retém do ferrolho ambidestro.

Quando introduzida, a FNH USA constatou que a linha de pistolas FNP era a única pistola de auto-carregamento com armação de polímero no mercado com os trilhos da armação totalmente substituíveis; isso permite que a pistola seja reconstruída após um período extensivo de disparos, prolongando assim a vida útil (as pistolas da série Steyr M também possuem essa característica e foram lançadas em 1999).

Design e operação
As pistolas da série FNP são armas de fogo com cão, utilizando um sistema de came Browning com um extrator externo. O módulo do gatilho está alojado dentro da armação de polímero como uma unidade individual conectada ao cão. O retém do carregador é mantido no lugar por um pino retentor que pode ser removido para que o retém do carregador seja invertido. A puxada do gatilho para a variante FNP-9 é de, geralmente, 8 libras-força (36 N) em ação dupla e de 3 a 4 libras-força (13 a 18 N) em ação simples. Enquanto a armação é feita de polímero de alta resistência, o ferrolho é feito de aço inoxidável.

A desmontagem e remontagem da pistola é relativamente simples. Para desmontar a arma, o ferrolho é trancado para trás e o carregador é removido da arma. A alavanca de desmontagem localizada na frente da armação é girada para baixo e o ferrolho é liberado para permitir que ele seja removido dos trilhos da armação. Uma vez removida, a mola recuperadora é removida de sua posição no cano e o cano é removido. Para remontar a arma, o processo é inverso, com o ferrolho sendo inserido nos trilhos da armação e a alavanca de desmontagem girada para cima enquanto o ferrolho está trancado para trás.

Variantes
As pistolas da série FNP são produzidas em cinco modelos básicos, com várias variações diferentes em cada modelo. Cada um dos cinco modelos, o FNP-45, o FNP-40, o FNP-357, o FNP-9 e o compacto FNP-9M (cancelado), é oferecido com os seguintes recursos:
Dupla ação, ação dupla ou ação simples (cancelada)

Ferrolho de aço inoxidável com acabamento preto fosco ou ferrolho de aço inoxidável com acabamento natural fosco

Armação preta ou marrom-clara

Miras padrão ou miras noturnas
A FNP-9 e a FNP-40 também foram comercializadas com as designações Browning Pro-9 e Pro-40. A série FNP foi substituída pela série de pistolas FNX.

Utilizadores
: A força policial de Genk comprou 190 pistolas FNP-9 e FNP-9M em abril de 2005.
: A Infantaria de Marinha começou a substituir as antigas Llama M82s pelas FNP-9s.
: Doou-se uma quantidade de 27 pistolas FNP ao departamento de polícia de New Roads, Louisiana, em outubro de 2009, para substituir as armas danificadas, devido a restrições orçamentárias.

THE JORDAN XIV'S CELEBRATE THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH RIP HAMILTON
When Michael Jordan scored The Shot, his last throw with the Bulls, not only was he closing his career, he was also presenting in society a prototype of Jordan XIV that would be launched a few months later. The announcement of Michael's retirement left those Jordan XIV without its principal protagonist, but those became the sneaker of choice for many players that were close to him like Toni Kukoc, Scottie Pippen or Ron Harper and others that weren't as close to him like Charles Barkley, David Robinson, Tim Duncan or Reggie Miller.
However, the most unexpected performance of a Jordan XIV came from someone who wasn't a professional yet. Richard Rip Hamilton scored 27 points to win the victory for the University of Connecticut against the all mighty Duke in 1999 in their first appearance in a Final Four. Rip Hamilton got his first Jordan's when he was just a kid as a gift from his father. If you want a moment to be special, you have to be dressed in a special way, that was his advice. From then on, every single one of his greatest moments has been associated with different pairs of Jordan's and his victory in the NCAA would always remain tied to the Jordan XIV's.
After that big success, Richard Rip Hamilton came to an NBA team that didn't seem very exciting, the Washington Wizards. Only three months later, Hamilton's new team stopped taking centre stage, not for their performance in the courts but for their new president of basketball operations, Michael Jordan. Shortly after, the revolution; Michael Jordan announced he would leave the offices to play for the Wizards. Hamilton, who had arrived at a team with very little prestige, would become a teammate to his idol.
Even though many players wore Jordan's, only a few of them were chosen by Michael himself to become part of the Jordan Team to represent the brand. Michael Finley, Ray Allen, Derek Anderson, Eddie Jones or Vin Baker had not only showed their level of basketball-playing, but they also had a very defined style. But Richard Rip Hamilton, the player who had Michael the closes to him, couldn't get a place in the Jordan Team. One day, in the midst of a training session, he asked "Hey Mike, why don't you include me in the Jordan Team?". The answer was unusually tough for someone who had become his older brother; "Uh, Rip, my sneakers are only for All Star players. You aren't good enough to wear my sneakers".
That was the only season Hamilton played with Michael Jordan, The next season he was transferred for Jerry Stackhouse, a player who had also played for North Carolina, like Michael. Already at the Pistons, away from Jordan, Hamilton won the 2004 ring and he became an All Star three times before finishing his career with the Bulls. Rip Hamilton created an image that mixed aesthetic preferences and medical obligations.

In 2009 we purchased a block of 12 new build flats from Habitat for Humanity. The negotiation process took place during the construction phase and went extremely well. The resultant flats were built to a high standard, have been popular with residents and were trouble free during the defects period.
We would be very happy to work again with Habitat should they have a future scheme within our areas of operation.
I just wanted to say thank you again for the opportunity to come and work with your team on the Kings Grove project yesterday. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and were thrilled to be a part of such an amazing organization like Habitat for Humanity.
These properties have been refurbished to the high standard that Genesis HA expects. We are more than satisfied with the overall quality and condition of the property.
It has been a pleasure to work with HfH. This project was well organized, and the dedication and enthusiasm of their people involved was evident throughout. We would more than happy to enter into further projects with HfH.
Completely satisfied with the overall delivery on this project.
From start to completion HFH showed commitment to doing things the right way. In exploring the feasibility of the project their option development skills were crucial in establishing the best option to deliver the successful outcome. The sequencing of the work was well managed…this is a cost effective solution to a complex problem that has saved the council from having to raise the funding to bring the dwellings back.
LBBD are delighted with the outcome. Three families are now housed in quality accommodation at affordable rents. A depreciating asset is now appreciating. We have saved money and the street scene of the area has been significantly improved. LBBD are keen to build on the success of this project, and are in the process of identifying suitable properties for future projects.
It was delivered on time and on budget, which is always a good result for any project. It's delivered affordable housing where it's needed, jobs and training, and it's great to actually recognise the housing needs and deliver them.
This is a flagship scheme for us, we'll learn from what we've done here to deliver future jobs and training. The quality of this project is a testament to the young adults that actually delivered this. It's a great build, the folk are happy who live here, the place is fully occupied.
It was a huge success, just one of those projects that we felt – what a great job and what a great legacy for Banbury. We felt that through construction we had a great opportunity to not only address homelessness but to help young people develop skills and opportunities.
The ambition now is to create 250 opportunities like this over the next three years so actually it's been a trigger for massive growth and change in our district.
We won a national local government award for innovation that was totally down to the partnership work that happened here and the outcomes that were achieved.
In their time here, the guys have worked really hard in redecorating both parts of our hostel and our young people's centre. In all the time they have worked here the standards of work have been fantastic and it's been a pleasure to have the team around, always smiling and enjoying the work they have been doing.
The work carried out in the youth centre has transformed the space and the feedback I have received from the young people who use the centre has been nothing but positive. Before the centre was pretty drab and dreary but now there is lot of colour in the place which has given it a new lease of life. I hope we can continue to work together in partnership in the future as I feel we both have a lot to offer one another.
SHFH are very interested in following up leads and working with a range of clients and customers. SHFH are able to deliver many of the requirements needed to tackle problematic and long term empty property. SHFH are willing to explore and engage with the local authority and understand the preses and constraints the LA is under to turn around eyesore and long term empty property.
SHFH's commitment to training and developing building skills with their volunteers helps towards offering a competitive quote for property owners. The project was well managed and delivered on time and within budget.
The quality of work SHFH produced on this scheme was of a very high standard. The site was a very difficult one, with a high level of dereliction. The scheme was located in a conservation area and protected shopping parade which added extra difficulties in terms of finance and design to the project.
Southwark Council are extremely pleased with the outputs of this scheme. It was a pilot scheme for the Council in terms of the financial model SHFH produced, and one that has delivered. The Council will continue to promote the work of SHFH with other empty homes owners and are supportive of the work they have done. We look forward to a continued partnership with SHFH.

Delta passengers stranded in Las Vegas.
Delta Air Lines got very lucky this morning.
Even though a computer outage at the airline's Atlanta headquarters on Monday crippled its global operations for more than six hours, it could have been far worse for the airline and its passengers.
The airline managed to work through its computer issues and get its planes back in the air by 8:40 a.m. Eastern.
The quick fix isolated much of the direct effect of the outage to the relatively calm overnight period and early morning flights without disrupting too much of the Monday morning rush.
In addition, many of the flights affected are of the long-haul international variety, which have longer turnaround times — allowing the airline more leeway to reallocate its resources to make those flights work. However, Delta warned that passengers should expect further cancellations and delays throughout the day.
The grounding of Delta's 800-airplane fleet comes less than three weeks after a computer failure forced Southwest Airlines to cancel more than 1,100 flights over a 24-hour span.
"The negative effect on revenue will be minimal," Airways senior business analyst Vinay Bhaskara told Business Insider. That's even after you factor in how much each flight cancellation will cost Delta.
The failure has, thus far, forced the airline to cancel 451 of the 6,000 flights scheduled for Monday, Delta said in a statement.
According to Bhaskara, each cancelled domestic flight could cost an airline as much as $17,000 once you factor in the costs resulting from the cascading effects on later operations.
At the same time, the cancellation of an international flight could cost airlines in the neighborhood of $65,000.
There are still thousands of Delta passengers who have had their travel plans thrown into disarray.
Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian apologized to customers in a video posted to the airline's Twitter account.
The airline announced that affected passengers will be allowed to rebook their flights for free by August 12.
With the increasing level of automation in the airline industry, computer outages have become more common.
In January, JetBlue temporarily halted operations across its network because of a power outage at a Verizon data center.
American and United have also been forced to temporarily ground their fleets in the past two years because of crippling computer outages.


I had the privilege of mingling with some of the Red Cross Donut Dollies at the American Red Cross Overseas Association (ARCOA) award ceremony in October. These amazing women have served members of the U.S. military in WWII, Korea, Vietnam and Iraq, among many other military operations, helping to support soldiers and their families. I didn't think I would have much in common with them, but the majority had recently graduated college when they chose to serve overseas, and they were looking for something meaningful and exciting. As we poured over old photographs together, they reminisced about their life changing volunteer experiences, and they left me with advice I will always remember.
There is nothing more fulfilling than helping others.
Experience is truly the best way to learn.
Sometimes you have to take a chance and step out of your comfort zone.
This holiday season, draw some inspiration from the Donut Dollies and consider how you can dedicate time to something meaningful, by helping others. The Red Cross provides numerous opportunities to get involved in your community. To find out how you can help, visit http://www.redcross.org/support/volunteer.
Meaning of volunteering… most precious things on earth. Many thanks.

Spring Break redux! ICANN picks Cancun for 2023 meeting
Kevin Murphy, May 13, 2020, 16:27:46 (UTC), Domain Policy
Having had its plans for a public meeting in Cancun, Mexico concurrent with Spring Break nixed by the nasty coronavirus this March, ICANN has decided to try again not once but twice.
Not only is it planning to hold its Community Forum there next year, but its board of directors has just voted to return in 2023 also, in a meeting that will run from March 11 to 16.
It will be ICANN 76. But the location of ICANN 75, scheduled for September 2022, is still a mystery. The board has authorized negotiations with the proposed venue(s) but has redacted any clues as to where it might be.
We don't even know which of ICANN's five rotating geographic regions it will be in, though Asia-Pac seems most likely, given that its last physical meeting there was in March 2019.
ICANN rejected Israel as meeting venue due to threat from Gaza and Iran

Hundreds of thousands a year in huge salaries and fun at public expense.
Then these guys have the nerve to call ICANN non-profit

American Apparel reportedly set for second bankruptcy
Fashion giant American Apparel is preparing to file for its second bankruptcy in two years, according to Bloomberg.
According to sources who wish to remain anonymous, the filing could take place within the next few weeks and set the brand up to be bought out.
Brand licensors Authentic Brands Group LLC and Iconix Brand Group Inc have reportedly expressed interest in acquiring the brand.
This comes after a difficult two years for the retailer, which came out of its previous bankruptcy at the end of January this year.
READ MORE: American Apparel loses second CEO in as many years
Aiming to turn around its finances, the fashion brand converted £189.4 million worth of bonds into equity, but falling sales and a damaged reputation following the ousting of its founder and chief executive Dov Charney have led to its current financial turmoil.
It was announced earlier this month that the brand's new chief executive, Paula Schneider had quit the company to join DG Premium brands, having joined American Apparel in January last year.
Schneider took over from the company's founder following allegations of misconduct, and it is not clear whether her departure is connected to the company's financial woes.

Places: The Children's Hour
First published: 1934
First produced: 1934, at Maxine Elliot's Theatre, New York City
Type of work: Drama
Type of plot: Problem
Time of work: 1930's
Places DiscussedWright-Dobie School
Wright-Dobie Children's Hour, TheSchool. Girls' school, near the fictional town of Lancet in rural New England, that is the play's principal setting. A modest but comfortable private residential school, it uses a large converted farmhouse that contains both residential units and classrooms for a small group of middle-school girls. Karen Wright and Martha Dobie, the teachers and owners, also live in the building.
Although the action of the first and third acts occurs in the living room, the layout and location of the school are significant. Especially important is a lack of privacy. The schoolgirls easily overhear adult conversations that can be misinterpreted–to the detriment of Karen and Martha. The malicious schoolgirl Mary Tilford persuasively claims that she and other students have witnessed or overheard a sexual encounter between the two teachers.
The school's rural isolation is important in the third act. The two accused teachers live alone, cut off from the village culture that rejects them and leers at them, making them feel they are prisoners on display. This isolation contrasts with the hope of escaping to Vienna, Austria, that Karen's fiancé, Joe Cardin, offers near the end of the original script. In her 1952 revision of the script for a revival during Congress's infamous House Committee on Un-American Activities hearings, Lillian Hellman changed Joe's proposed escape to a place even bleaker than the empty school–an unspecified American farming country in the middle of nowhere.
Amelia Tilford's living room
Amelia Tilford's living room. Home of Mrs. Tilford, the grandmother of the malicious Mary. The fact that Mrs. Tilford is wealthy but old-fashioned is reflected in her home, which appears to be in the village of Lancet; however, this is not made clear in the script. The size and comparative emptiness of her house are important in the play's second act, when Mary has the opportunity to be alone with her schoolmate Rosalie, whom she intimidates into confirming her own story about Karen and Martha's alleged sexual encounter. The house's location near the center of village life and the visual evidence of Mrs. Tilford's social and moral authority help to establish her power to close the school and to win the libel suit brought by Karen and Martha.

Signs during the South Minneapolis Protests at the 3rd District Police Station, May 28, 2020 (AndrewStecker / Shutterstock.com)
In June 2020 Mariame Kaba penned an opinion piece in the New York Times entitled, "Yes We Literally Mean Abolish the Police." The essay responded to calls for institutional reform in the wake of George Floyd's murder by police on May 25, 2020 in Minneapolis, MN and the resulting rebellions and protests across the world. It is also included in We Do This 'Til We Free Us: Abolitionist Organizing and Transforming Justice, a must-read collection of Kaba's writing published this year. Reformist proposals from groups like Campaign Zero and Democrats, including then presidential hopeful Joe Biden, failed, as they always do, to address the fundamental issues at hand. Instead, activists all over the country, perhaps more popularly than ever before, demanded action at every level to abolish the police. Kaba's essay offers an important historical lesson about the failures of police reform. In doing so, Kaba helps us consider the uses of history as a method for thinking not only about the past and its present, but towards the just future which abolitionists have long sought.
Abolitionists across the history of the United States have thought historically in attempting to change the worlds in which they lived. In the nineteenth century United States, Black abolitionists used history to argue for a world without slavery. In their writings and speeches they compared the conditions of contemporary slavery to past iterations of the institution. They revised historical narratives to pull at the loose threads of hypocrisy present in the ideals of the nation. Some even imagined their position from the future, suggesting that their evidence of enslavement might be of interest to historians who lived after they, and hopefully slavery, were gone. Still others, like William C. Nell, William Wells Brown, and Martin Delany, produced historical work on African Americans that revealed complex and rich histories that challenged their absence in the field's accepted historiography and white supremacist ideas. In his book A Faithful Account of the Race, Stephen G. Hall argues that this historical work was central to Black intellectual thought in the period. By creating Black narratives, these thinkers rooted the histories of people of African descent in the history of the world and built community as they constructed a past that could help them better consider both their present and futures.
In the hands of Black abolitionists, history helped the movement critique the current condition of African Americans, enslaved and free alike. But, importantly, it was also invoked as a way to envision and call forth a new world in which slavery would cease to exist. The history of Haiti, the revolutionary Black nation that David Walker called the "glory of blacks and terror of tyrants," loomed large in these discussions. Abolitionists conjured the memory of the first independent Black nation in the Americas and the first country to abolish slavery in the revolutionary age. Speaking on the history of Haiti in 1854, William Wells Brown closed his speech by comparing the careers of Toussaint L'Ouverture and George Washington. He warned that the institution of slavery, which, unlike L'Ouverture, Washington had "aided in giving strength and vitality" would "one day rend asunder the Union." Brown claimed that the enslaved "burns for revenge" and that if their revolution would occur in the United States, as in Haiti, the one "commenced in 1776 would then be finished."
In the same year, Brown had been forced to purchase his legal freedom while in England after the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. It is maybe unsurprising that Brown, who had previously refused to do so despite living as a fugitive from slavery for over a decade, looked to Haiti as a warning for a government that would enact such laws. The history of Haiti, although complicated, acted as an alternative tradition to that of his own nation which continually refused to stop protecting slavery and enslavers despite decades of abolitionist work. This is also why abolitionists in the United States commemorated the end of slavery in the British Caribbean. These public acts of transatlantic memory kept a history of emancipation, as a possible future for African Americans, alive until they had their own reason to celebrate.
The ways that Black abolitionists understood Haiti as both a past and a future is useful for thinking about history's place in between and how historians can work to help us all ask those "better questions for the future" as Kaba purposes. History can tell us not just about the past, but serve as a reminder of what is possible, and what is at stake. In looking to Haiti, abolitionists like Brown reminded their audience that the end of slavery had a past and present, invited them to envision a future without slavery, and to act on making that future a reality.
By the Civil War, the actions of enslaved people and abolitionist activists led the nation to imagine itself without slavery. Through both force and vision emancipation did come. Yet in the wake of the war, even constitutional change, a type of reform, was not enough to completely transform the future. As abolitionist and writer Frances Ellen Watkins Harper claimed in 1867, "slavery, as an institution, has been overthrown, but slavery, as an idea, still lives in the American Republic…" Activists, then and now, described slavery's afterlife. This afterlife, which Harper saw in 1867, continues to affect Black lives through a "racial calculus and a political arithmetic entrenched centuries ago," as described by Saidiya Hartman. Some 150 years after emancipation, we can see the way abolition remains incomplete. Activists continue to disorder historical narratives that maintain the "idea of slavery" as they work against institutions born of slavery. Even the normative narratives dismantled by African American writers since the nineteenth century remain alive, the former president's 1776 Commission being just one example.
Abolitionists today wrestle with the failures of these centuries of reform. The uprisings against state violence last summer also brought down monuments to white supremacy, settler colonialism, and anti-blackness. Protesters targeted these symbols, from those of Christopher Columbus and confederates like Robert E. Lee in Richmond to the Minneapolis Police's Third Precinct. These actions do important historical work as they disrupt what has been, what is, and create a landscape for what can be. This, too, is what abolitionist organizers do in their work to end police and prisons. They require us to imagine and organize towards a world that may seem impossible to some at present. This imagined impossibility is why it is also important to remember that abolition has a history. It is one of both achievement and still to be realized aspirations.
In 1935 W.E.B. Du Bois published his radical rewriting of the history of the Civil War and Reconstruction. Given its subject, it is perhaps appropriate that Du Bois ended Black Reconstruction in America with a meditation on the historiography of the period and the practice of history itself. In his time, Du Bois could see the ways that emancipation had failed. Not quite a century after abolition, Du Bois lived through the violence that the destruction of Reconstruction's radical possibilities had wrought. He believed that the propagation of "cheap and false myth" by historians was partially to blame for the "present lawlessness." He could see, because he both created and lived under them, the ways that historical narratives had power and could shape what comes. For Du Bois, the future of the world was wrapped up in the history of abolition.
The ways that we learn and teach about the relationships between the past and present and even time and progress, can be better informed by abolition. In this context, Kaba's positioning on how to use history is a perceptive methodological call for historians. The study of history should help us all understand how the time of reform is past. It should bring us all closer to abolition, which is to say the future.

I really liked this piece. It put the current prison abolition movement into an important historical tradition. It shows that what may have appeared radical to some at one point become understood as necessary to many more. Thank you for helping me to understand this. It is both sobering and optimistic.

Integrated roadside vegetation management is an approach to right-of-way maintenance that combines a variety of management techniques with sound ecological principles to establish and maintain safe, healthy, functional roadsides. IRVM includes judicious use of herbicides, spot mowing, prescribed burning, mechanical tree and brush removal and the prevention and treatment of erosion and other disturbances to the right-of-way.
A long-term IRVM objective is to establish diverse stands of native plants in the right-of-way. These strong, weed-resistant plant communities adapt to all roadside conditions and provide a variety of services: enhancing rainfall infiltration; slowing runoff; trapping sediment; reducing erosion and creating habitat for pollinators, nesting birds and other wildlife.
Iowa's IRVM objectives were first outlined in Iowa Code 314.21 and 314.22. This 1988 legislation created funding for the IRVM Program Office at the University of Northern Iowa through the establishment of the Living Roadway Trust Fund.
In addition to providing a variety of resources to Iowa's county roadside programs, UNI's IRVM Program Office also provides guidance and support to Iowa counties establishing new IRVM programs, and strengthens IRVM statewide through partnerships with the Iowa Department of Transportation and other agencies.

Le château de Vigouroux est un château situé sur la commune de Saint-Martin-sous-Vigouroux dans le Cantal, en France. Il comportait deux édifices : un château fort, chef-lieu d'une ancienne châtellenie, possédé par les vicomtes de Murat puis de Carlat jusqu'en 1791 et un château de plaisance, construit à proximité par la famille de Berthomier qui n'avait aucun droit sur le fief de Vigouroux, et qui est le seul à subsister aujourd'hui.

Histoire

Une famille de Vigouroux est attestée dès le . Cette ancienne châtellenie qui constituait un des mandements de la vicomté de Murat, puis de Carlat existe  depuis le . Cette forteresse a été détruite en 1360 par Jean Chandos, lieutenant du roi d'Angleterre.

Fief supérieur
En 1273, Marquèze de Peyre, veuve de Pierre IV, vicomte de Murat, rendit hommage pour Vigouroux au nom de ses enfants à Henri II de Rodez, comme vicomte de Carlat.

En 1328, Helis de Murat, reçut 10 000 livres de dot assises sur la terre de Vigouroux lorsqu'elle épousa Bernard de Cardaillac.

En 1477, la seigneurie supérieure est confisquée à Jacques d'Armagnac qui est décapité, à la suite de sa révolte, et donnée à Jean de L'Isle. Elle est ensuite rendu à son fils, le duc de Nemours Jean d'Armagnac. En 1489, il vend les vicomtés de Carlat et de Murat à Pierre II de Bourbon, sire de Beaujeu en échange du comté de l'Isle-Jourdain. L'ensemble est finalement confisqué à Pierre de Bourbon et annexé à la couronne et se retrouve plusieurs fois dans l'apanage des reines douairières. En 1641, Louis XIII l'attribue en même temps que le Carladès à Honoré II Grimaldi de Monaco et à ses descendants qui l'ont conservé jusqu'à la Révolution française.

Il restait en 1780 un tronçon de tour de l'ancien château qui a été détruit et dont les matériaux ont été utilisés par M. de Lastic pour construire les écuries du château actuel.

Seigneurie et château
Jacques de Berthomier, seigneur de La Vernhette, à Brezons et de La Fontio, avait une fille qui apporte le château moderne en dot en 1616 à Annet Ier de Lastic, seigneur de Bellemur, d'Auzolles et de Laterrisse. Ainsi débute la branche de Lastic-Vigouroux. Depuis cette époque, ce rameau de Lastic a continuellement résidé au château neuf de Vigouroux dont l'emplacement se trouve à côté de celui de l'ancien fort.

Annet II (1609-1688), épousa en 1638 Marie de Greil de la Volpilhère qui lui apporta le seigneurie de Saint-Martin-sous-Vigouroux et lui donna sept enfants.

Annet V de Lastic, seigneur de La Vergnette s'est marié en 1720 à Saint-Flour à Marie Coste, fille de François, receveur des Tailles et de Marguerite Delpuech. C'est à cette époque qu'il a ajouté un nouveau corps de logis en équerre avec la tour Est.

Joseph-Annet de Lastic (1772-1866), page de Louis XVI, qui était membre de la coalition d'Auvergne, devint chambelan de Impératrice Joséphine, inspecteur général des Haras, député du Cantal. Il épousa Octavie de Lastic-Sieujac (1785-1861), héritière de sa maison, ce qui a réuni les deux branches de cette famille. Leurs trois fils, Antoine-Annet dit Tony de Lastic (1810-1880), page de Charles X, Harold et Octave de Lastic étaient membres de la Société cantalienne.

Joseph de Lastic a vendu le château vers 1845 à M. Beaufils-Coste.

Descriptions

Château haut
Le château fort a disparu. De cette forteresse du  il ne reste que des  fondations.
La chapelle castrale était sous l'invocation de Saint-Laurent.

Château moderne
Le château de Vigouroux a été construit au  sur les soubassements d'une partie de la forteresse ruinée. Le logis rectangulaire est entouré  d'une tour d'escalier centrale, et de deux tours dont celle de l'ouest est portée sur un cul de lampe. Les ouvertures sont à croisées renaissance, sans croisillons.

Un corps de logis en équerre a été ajouté contre la tour Ouest vers 1720 par Anne V de Lastic tandis que le logis et les deux tours ont été réduits d'un étage. La tour des archives, située à l'arrière, a été rasée durant la Révolution et le bas relief qui figurait dans le tympan de la porte de la tour centrale, comme à l'hôtel dit des princes de Monaco à Vic-en-Carladez, a été  martellée.

Certaines fenêtres conservent des éléments de vitraux aux armes des Lastic du . La chambre du deuxième étage est ornée de papiers peints d'époque.

The extra service includes five extra trains on the Hudson Line between 1:38 p.m. and 4:11 p.m., three additional trains on the Harlem Line between 2:15 p.m. and 3:34 p.m., and ten extra trains on the New Haven Line between 12:58 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Times are shown in the current timetables.

There is also expanded outbound service starting in the late morning and continuing through mid-afternoon. Customers leaving New York after the parade must show a ticket before boarding trains at Grand Central or Harlem-125th Street Station. On this day last year, about 30,000 customers departed Grand Central between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Finally, there will be extra trains in the evening for customers returning to New York City after their Thanksgiving feasts.

The "Family Fare" costs $1 per ticket for up to four children (ages 5 to 11) when they are traveling with a fare paying adult. Metro-North recommends customers use MTA eTtix®, the mobile ticketing app that enables you to purchase one-way, round trip, ten trip, weekly and monthly passes, as well as reduced fare tickets, child and family fare tickets and military tickets, on your smartphone or mobile device.
Staten Island Railway customers looking to get a head start on the Thanksgiving Day holiday will be able to catch earlier afternoon express train service on Wednesday, November 21, with MTA Staten Island Railway's Early Departure Getaway schedule. Extra SIR trains will be added earlier in the afternoon beginning at 2:30 p.m. from the St. George Ferry Terminal. There will be one express train and one local train awaiting every boat until 7:50 p.m. On Thanksgiving Day, SIR will operate on a Saturday schedule.
For all intents & purposes, the first phase of the MTA's Second Avenue Subway has been a success. Ridership continues to grow while helping ease the crowding issues that were happening along the Lexington Avenue lines.
Nov. 19, 2018 (New York, NY) – The MTA announced today that the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, issued a "Finding of No Significant Impact" (FONSI) for Phase II of the Second Avenue Subway project, based on review of the Supplemental Environmental Assessment prepared for the project.
This phase of the project will extend the train line from its current terminus at 96th Street and Second Avenue, north to 125th Street, then west to Lexington and Park Avenues, where it will connect with the , , and trains and the Metro-North Railroad. Three new stations will be built at 106th Street and Second Avenue, 116th Street and Second Avenue, and 125th Street and Lexington Avenue. Tail tracks, where trains will be stored prior to heading back south, will continue west just past Lenox Avenue.
In connection with the Supplemental Environmental Assessment, the MTA conducted a robust public outreach program, which included numerous meetings with and presentations to Community Boards 11 and 10, elected officials, business and residential groups and other major stakeholders. A 30-day public comment period was conducted, during which the MTA accepted comments on the Assessment and held a meeting on July 31st, where the public had the opportunity to present comments verbally. The public comment period and meeting were advertised in six local newspapers, including Spanish language publications. Responses to all comments are contained in the FONSI.
Phase II of the project will provide a number of benefits for the East Harlem community, much of which sits in a "transit desert" with few public transportation choices. The new service will also stimulate the local economy, create thousands of jobs, cut commute time by up to 20 minutes a day, and further reduce crowding on the Lexington Avenue line. Phase I of the Second Avenue Subway, which began service on January 1, 2017, reduced crowding at parallel stations on the , , and trains by up to 40 percent during the morning rush hour.
The milestone is pretty significant for the much needed completion of the project. Let us hope the agency will be able to get it done in a timely manner as the sooner the better.
Next Stop On The Second Avenue Subway; 125 Million St….
Second Avenue Subway Getting More Funds!
Families along Superior Road by the Bellerose train station for the Long Island Rail Road are angry that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority had trees cut from behind their backyards.
While I understand the complaints of the residents, I don't feel they have much of a case considering the trees cut were on transit property & not of the homeowners.
The safety & well being of the rail road trumps their personal desire to have trees to help insulate noise or block views. If these things were such concerns, they should not have purchased homes right next to railroad tracks. This is typical NIMBY action at work.
