For a person in the Very Serious crowd, I like Fareed Zakaria. He says smart things and points out the problems inherent in dogmatism very articulately. But he also very often can be trapped in the conventional wisdom of the day far too easily. His column in Time this week is a study in this duality. He rightly points out that America is not even close to Greece territory, regardless of what the bond vigilantly fearing conservatives may think. The points he makes about solving America's debt and the deficit are mostly sound, even if like the rest of the establishment media he thinks Simpson-Bowles is a centrist proposal when it is in fact a right/center-right one. Simply pointing out letting the tax rates revert to Clinton era rates would solve our short to medium term deficit problem.
Underlying all these good points however, is the fundamental flaw with the premise to begin with. The idea that we should even be talking about debt reduction at a time of 9% unemployment and slow GDP growth is bad policy and bad politics. When crops are beginning to rot on the vine, you don't worry about how you are going to pay for the seeds for you next batch of crops ten years from now. You figure out ways to pump resources into the field to make sure you pick all the crops you can before they go bad. A better column would talk about more stimulus and job creation, but alas the consensus says we must talk about our debt, so its a debt column we get.
Then Zakaria decides to go full Washingtonian when he veers into "pox on both your houses" territory.
This is downright wrong. First the Democrats have a serious plan for entitlement reform. It's called the Affordable Care Act. They went ahead and cut $500 billion from Medicare last I checked. Furthermore they implemented the Independent Payment Advisory Board as a way to curb growth in Medicare spending. This is the type of policy somebody like Zakaria should love, it takes policy choices out of the hands of irresponsible politicians. But since it is an entirely partisan accomplishment, it gets overlooked.
Moreover, Democrats have agreed to $1 trillion in cuts over the next ten years. Those are serious cuts in entitlement spending. Republicans simply won't come to the table in an honest fashion, and are holding the entire economy hostage. He briefly talks about the Republican's irresponsibility, but doesn't explore the implications in any depth, preferring to simply revert to the Very Serious default of "both parties are irresponsible."
Both parties might be talking about the complete wrong topic, but only one party is willing to take us to a Greece type situation. Zakaria seems almost ready to say this, but as a Very Serious Person, he simply is unable.

Currently, all persons on international air flights must have a valid U.S. passport to enter the U.S . All persons must also have a valid U.S. passport, passport card or other travel document approved by Homeland Security.
The U.S. Government offers two types of passport processing: 1) routine service 2) expedited service.
If you choose routine service, the U.S. Government states that you will receive your passport within 6-8 weeks after your application is submitted. They also warn that processing times can vary depending on workload and occasional unforeseen circumstances and busier travel season times.
Additionally, the U.S. Government also offers expedited service for those travelers needing a passport quickly. In this case, the government states that you will receive your passport, if you pay additionally for expedited service and two-way overnight delivery, ordinarily in about 3 weeks. This service costs an addtional $60 per application, plus overnight delivery costs.
Canadians must present a passport to visit the Bahamas, which must be valid for at least three months beyond the date of expected departure from that country. Prior to traveling, ask your transportation company about its requirements related to passport validity, which may be more stringent than the country's entry rules. Permanent residents of Canada must travel with their Permanent Resident Card and also a valid passport from their country of origin.
Latin American citizens are required to present a valid passport which must cover the period of intended stay. No Visa is required if the stay is less than 3 months. When departing The Bahamas for a country that has the passport validity requirement of six (6) months beyond the dates of travel, that requirement will be enforced.
Also required is a return ticket or onward journey ticket, hotel confirmation (if staying at a hotel, or name and address of residence) and proof of funds to support your visit.
Airline travelers should visit www.iatatravelcentre.com to check that travel documents are sufficient for the airline you are traveling on.
To enter The Bahamas, Canadian residents (and landed Canadian immigrants) who are not Canadian citizens are required to present a Passport.
Travelers should purchase return tickets even when they are certain to return via a private boat. The chance of an airline/cruise line ticket agent allowing travel on a single ticket is very slim. If, however, the person gets to the point of Bahamas Immigration on a single ticket, the Captain of the boat would have to present himself and the cruising permit. However, crew members who may be arriving by plane and returning by boat as their names will appear on the manifest.

Studying User Appropriation of University and Secondary school «Learning Centers»: Methodological Questions and Issues
Susan Kovacs, Yolande Maury
How can Information-Communication researchers define a protocol for the study of emergent phenomena? In the context of a research project examining the creation of nine Learning Centers in France, we were faced with this query. The concept of the "Learning Center" has been taken up as a new model for the library, a "place" situated between learning, training, teaching, living and "being." We were interested in the ways in which different actors appropriate the idea of the Learning Center and which dimensions they choose to develop or adapt. Rather than evaluating the degree of successful compliance to a model, we sought to understand how actors "do with" and co-construct this new form of the library through their uses of space. Our inquiry, as applied to information practices and culture, foregrounds the issue of the most pertinent approach to empirical study. Ethnography is a powerful tool for in-depth study of users as they participate in the definition of informational devices. While comparing our methodological choices to certain observational techniques, we explore the strengths and limits of an approach in which the focal points of observation, undefined at the outset through floating attention, become more accurate during the different phases of observation and interviewing. The relevance of certain data collection instruments used for describing and understanding "seeing" over time (ethnographic fieldnotes, photographs) is also discussed. We attempt to show that emergent phenomena require an open-ended, comprehensive approach; a posteriori categorization can afford a rich way to investigate user practices in an as yet undefined institutional setting.
Keywords: appropriation, library, learning center, space, qualitative research

The Young And The Restless Writer And Melissa Claire Egan On Portraying Depression - Exclusive
Paul Archuleta/Getty Images
By Hannah LaFond/Updated: Dec. 2, 2022 8:53 am EST
The following article includes discussions of depression and suicide.
In the 50th season of CBS' "The Young and the Restless," the writers and actors are tackling important subjects that the show has never gone into before. In this momentous season, Melissa Claire Egan's character struggles with depression to the point she considers suicide. It's a critical point in her character arc and the series that the creators wanted to handle respectfully. CBS released a PSA in conjunction with the episode, in which Egan and fellow actors Jason Thompson and Sharon Case encourage anyone struggling or supporting someone struggling to reach out to 988 for free, confidential support from trained counselors 24/7 or to go to save.org.
During an exclusive interview with The List, Melissa Claire Egan and the show's head writer and co-executive producer, Josh Griffith, discussed the importance of this story and the steps they took to tell it well.
If you or anyone you know is having suicidal thoughts, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline by dialing 988 or by calling 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
They didn't want to sensationalize Chelsea's mental health story

At first, Melissa Claire Egan was surprised by her character Chelsea Lawson's journey with depression. "I was in shock at what happened to this character of 11 years of mine. I was like, 'Oh my God, I can't believe she gets to that place,'" she said. But after looking at what brought Chelsea to that point, Egan understood why her character was experiencing thoughts of suicide and was "honored to tell the story."
In telling Chelsea's story, it was important to the writers and to Egan as an actor that they didn't sensationalize or play up the storyline for drama. They wanted to be honest and sensitive in their approach to the subject. The head writer, Josh Griffith, explained, "Many people are going to be affected. There are so many people that have experienced this in one way or another. It would've been a disservice to them if we had sensationalized it or tried to make it into another melodramatic soap story."
To that end, they brought on Dr. Dan Reidenberg from the International Association for Suicide Prevention to advise them and help them tell the story realistically. They also made a PSA in conjunction with the show encouraging anyone suffering to reach out for support. Egan felt this step was essential because the episode "did pull at the heartstrings. ... You have to help give them the resources if they're hurting to be able to get help."
Continuing Chelsea's mental health journey

It was important to Josh Griffith and the rest of the creative team to show how Chelsea's journey continues after that low point. Viewers see Chelsea Lawson go to therapy and make steps forward, but she also has setbacks. "It's not a linear path. It's not a clear cut ..." Griffith said. "There's still a lot of work to do, and there are a lot of setbacks that you're going to face."
Melissa Claire Egan was grateful that the writers had enough build-up to Chelsea's story that viewers understood what she was going through. "I didn't hear one person say, 'That's not realistic,'" she said. "You saw everything building up to that point that led her to that place." And it was equally important that viewers see how she gets out of that place and all the hard work that goes into her recovery. Egan hopes that through their realistic portrayal, viewers walk away from the show "feeling less alone and knowing that there's hope."
If you or someone you know needs help with mental health, please contact the Crisis Text Line by texting HOME to 741741, call the National Alliance on Mental Illness helpline at 1-800-950-NAMI (6264), or visit the National Institute of Mental Health website.
"The Young and the Restless" is broadcast on weekdays 12:30-1:30 p.m. ET/11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. PT on the CBS Television Network.

This means that millions of families are likely trying to speak to Property Property Insurance Attorneys Florida about their coverage, and whether or not they are even able to get compensation for their lost valuables. Even if this is successful, there is still a mental and emotional toll. As a result, you want to make sure that you have all the means possible to protect yourself from property crimes. Here are some things to think about.
For starters, the simplest things may have the biggest impacts, as a lot of property crimes aren't committed by skilled criminals so much as people trying to take advantage of other people's mistakes. For example, always look at the entry areas into your house like the doorway or ground floor windows. It's also a good idea to make sure that you keep an eye out for leaving things outside that could potentially be used to enter the home. The same thing applies to cars. The most effective anti-theft system won't work if you accidentally leave the door unlocked or the keys in the ignition. Try to avoid keeping your valuables in plain sight as well.
A lot of time, these common-sense steps are enough to keep you and your property safe. However, nothing is guaranteed, and if you are in an area where property crime is common, you may want to invest in a home security alarm. The thing about these, though, is there are a lot of different options on the table. However, you don't need to pay top dollar to reap the benefits of a home security system. A lot of the time, the threat of a home security system is one of your best tools in order to help deter crime. Make sure that you put up stickers showing that you have a system, and potential criminals may want to look elsewhere.
The final piece of dealing with property crime is making sure that you stay informed. Many neighborhoods have local networks or platforms on social media for people to talk to each other about potential risks of property crime. In other cases, if you're interested in a home security system, you may want to follow a company on social media to learn about new innovations or options to add to your home.
With all this said, when it comes to property crimes, there are no guarantees that you may not deal with some of these issues. This is why investing in property insurance is always a good idea to make sure that you are compensated in case something happens. With this said, different insurance packages come with different costs and tiers of coverage. When it comes to learning more about your coverage, you may want to speak to an insurance attorney in Miami for more clarification.

In Light of the Forthcoming Ruling on the Berta Cáceres Case, the OHCHR and the IACHR Express Concern over the Exclusion of Victims' Legal Representatives and Unjustified Delays in the Trial
IACHR Press and Communication Office
More on the IACHR
IACHR Press Releases
IACHR Website
Tegucigalpa/Washington, DC - The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in Honduras and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) express their concern over the exclusion of the private prosecution representing the victims from the Berta Cáceres trial and the unjustified delays in the trial process. The IACHR and OHCHR note that on October 19, the private prosecution filed a challenge against the court hearing the case and thus absented itself from the hearing until a final decision was reached on this matter. The court interpreted this as the prosecution abandoning the trial and appointed the Public Prosecutor's Office to act as the victims' legal representative.
Likewise, the OHCHR and IACHR note that over the course of the trial, there have been delays in the processing of three other writs of amparo that have yet to be ruled on. In addition to requesting the recusal of the court, these amparo actions relate to the inclusion of the Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH) as a victim, the exclusion of the private prosecution on the grounds of abandonment of the trial, and the inclusion of one of the victims as part of the private prosecution.
In light of the fact that the Court of Judgment is soon to announce its ruling, the OHCHR and IACHR stress that the exclusion of the private prosecution from the public oral trial significantly undermines the victims' right to fair, effective access to justice and their right to the truth.1 This exclusion also has concrete effects on the use of evidence that had been put forward by the private prosecution, which was then unable to explain the purpose of this during the proceedings. As the OHCHR rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation, and guarantees of nonrecurrence observed, "criminal prosecution is effective only if the victims and their families are actually involved in the trial," and this involvement leads to and strengthens their right to the truth.2
With regard to the delays in processing the writs of amparo discussed above, the OHCHR and the IACHR stress that these are an essential guarantee for protecting human rights, including the right to due process and the right to an effective legal remedy, which are enshrined in article 2 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and article 8 of the American Convention of Human Rights. The delay in ruling on the amparo applications thus diminishes the effectiveness of the protection they provide, especially in relation to irreparable acts and the duty of due diligence that it is incumbent on the state during hearings of this type. In this regard, the OHCHR and the IACHR wish to highlight the United Nations Human Rights Committee's observation that expeditiousness is an important aspect of the fairness of a hearing. Consequently, "delays in civil proceedings that cannot be justified by the complexity of the case or the behaviour of the parties detract from the principle of a fair hearing." 3
Justice for victims will be effective and comprehensive when all the material and intellectual authors of the crime are brought to justice and held accountable. In this sense, the Inter-American Court has stated that "this is an international right and it is the duty of states to guarantee compliance with the obligation to investigate cases ex officio, without delay, and to do so in a serious, impartial, effective manner such that those who are truly responsible for human rights violations can be brought to justice."4
The OHCHR and IACHR note that the justice system must be able to guarantee absolute compliance with guarantees of due process and effective legal protection in this first trial over the murder of defender Berta Cáceres. In this paradigmatic case, ensuring that justice is delivered in a context of transparency and access to information is key to strengthening citizen confidence in the judiciary and legal rulings. It is also a vital part of seeking justice for the victim's family and safeguarding the work of human and environmental rights defenders in Honduras.
The OHCHR is monitoring the human rights situation in Honduras, reporting to the UN Human Rights Council on this, and advising the Honduran authorities on creating and implementing policies, programs, and measures that play a part in promoting and protecting human rights in the country, guided by the principles of impartiality and independence. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) is part of the United Nations Secretariat and coordinates global efforts to promote and protect human rights through cooperation and the strengthening of national state institutions and civil society organizations.
A principal, autonomous body of the Organization of American States (OAS), the IACHR derives its mandate from the OAS Charter and the American Convention on Human Rights. The Inter-American Commission has a mandate to promote respect for and to defend human rights in the region and acts as a consultative body to the OAS in this area. The Commission is composed of seven independent members who are elected in an individual capacity by the OAS General Assembly and who do not represent their countries of origin or residence.

The life of the Danish composer Leif Kayser (1919-2001) was devoted equally to the religious and the musical. However, after establishing himself early as one of the young hopes of Danish musical life, he broke off his musical career to become a Catholic priest. This release features Leif Kayser's Second and Third Symphony. Both works are typified by the composer's remarkable technical mastery and rich sonorous idiom that unites a great Danish tradition with the most exciting elements of the past currents in European music.

The critics were enthusiastic, not least about the craftsmanship of the work. "Carl Nielsen rose to his Olympus, but sent Kayser down here," was one of the reactions. In 1940 followed the Second Symphony, which was performed in one of the radio's Thursday Concerts, again conducted by Tor Mann, and the same year the concert overture Kong Christian stod ('King Christian Stood') for the occasion of King Christian X's 70th birthday. In September 1940 he had his first work printed, 7 Pezzi per violino solo.
But this did not mean that his music was unaffected by the currents of the age. The development simply took place at his own tempo and was typified by thorough reflection. There is a clear difference between the relatively carefree, stylistically traditional early works and the more complicated and speculative music from his mature years, which is often dry, with a high information density, coloured by unprepared dissonances and with a deliberately unlovely exterior. In a radio broadcast he explained that it takes time to absorb a tradition in earnest. Only when a composer has really understood and lived through the tradition will he be able to leave his personal mark on it.
Second Symphony
Leif Kayser's Second Symphony was written in 1939, shortly after the first performance of the First Symphony. It was given its first performance in February 1940 in Gothenburg and later played in the Danmarks Radio Thursday Concert of 10th October 1940, on both occasions conducted by the Swede Tor Mann. It is an expansive and ambitious work in the traditional four movements, typified by a remarkable technical mastery of the large orchestral apparatus.
The first movement, with its rocking 6/8 rhythm and its gently melodious idiom, continues a Danish tradition. But Gregorian chant too makes itself heard at the beginning of the movement, where the individual string groups, and later the solo winds, unfold their long unaccompanied melody lines. In the third bar of the violas, which returns at the end of the movement, one can hear a perhaps unintentional echo of the Latin Christmas song Quem pastores laudavere ('Shepherds came, their praises bringing'). The movement is built up as a series of waves of increasing contrapuntal complexity and ebbs out as it began with the unison melody of the violas.
A review of the Danish first performance said that the scherzo "will pass into Danish musical history as the most boring ever written", a judgement that is rather surprising, inasmuch as this very movement is written with a light hand and exhibits a virtuosity in the orchestral treatment that comes as a complete contrast to the first movement. The winds lead the way in a whirling texture that is transparent and thoroughly articulated down to the last note.
A ceremonial, modally tinged harmony colours the slow movement, whose basic subject with its little rising third is present almost throughout. The tone is hymnic, and the warm, full orchestral sound is given extra colour by the introduction of a mixed choir singing on the vowel A. Unlike the Late Romantic symphonies with choral elements, where the function was always to bring a textual dimension into the work, the choir has solely a sonorous function here and is thus more akin to Carl Nielsen's use of singing voices in the second movement of Espansiva.
The energetic first subject of the final movement, Allegro con brio in A major, is not conceivable either without Carl Nielsen's example. The whole movement takes a festive course and ends in stately manner by bringing back the choir for some concluding remarks.
In the reviews the Second Symphony was judged in very different ways. The reviewers agreed on praising the young composer's technical dexterity, but while some spoke of "blessed clarity and exemplary logic", others called it "an amazingly stale work that operates exclusively with old familiar resources."
Kayser was asked to respond to the criticism in the newspaper B.T., and he wrote: "There are reviewers who have reproached me with the criticism that my music is based on traditions - and they are absolutely right. There is perhaps no one who knows that better than myself. I could take my First Symphony apart phrase by phrase and say: "You have that from Bach ... now it is César Franck who is joining in the conversation ... and here it is Carl Nielsen who has influenced you." I willingly concede my debt to all the composers who have written the music that has given my 21 years content and perspective. I openly declare my love of Gregorian -sacred music, and my soul is moved to this very day just as strongly - or stronger than before - by a simple Praetorius triad. It is the love of music that has made me a composer - or at any rate an industrious music copyist. Is there really anything odd about the fact that I write down what the heart is full of? You could as well go out in the field and forbid a young lark to sing trills that sound like the ones the old larks have sung before."
Third Symphony
Whereas the first two symphonies were written in a relatively short time, Leif Kayser's Third Symphony was a whole ten years in coming. This may be because in the years 1943-53 he only composed part-time, since he was busy with his theology studies in Rome and later his priestly duties at St. Ansgar's Church in Copenhagen. But in addition the form and tonal idiom of the symphony are so new and different from the earlier ones that we experience it as a new composer taking new liberties with his classicist starting-point. While the first symphonies preserved the classical four-movement form, the Third Symphony is an unbroken progression, although subdivided into clear sections.
The Third Symphony begins like the Second with a unison string melody. The cellos present the first subject "tranquillo e cantabile" - calmly and singably. But whereas the Second Symphony was diatonic and as clear as day, the Third Symphony - at least in some sections - is strongly chromatic and generally coloured by substantially higher dissonant tensions. The key of the symphony is D minor, but the first four bars of the subject already cover the twelve notes of the chromatic scale. It is not in Schoenberg's twelve-tone music that one finds the inspiration for this - Schoenberg's music only really became known in Denmark at the end of the 1950s, and Leif Kayser was never its champion. One should rather see it as a game with the expanded tonality and its possibilities.
The first subject in the cellos is immediately followed up by the second important subject of the movement, a brief figure in the oboe. The whole movement unfolds as a fantasia over these two subjects which are set up against each other, developed further and combined. After a culmination we are guided over into the next section of the symphony, a largo with a quick middle section. Expansive string sounds of bright, pure beauty are inter-rupted by a busy, neoclassically inspired episode, but the hymnic tone returns.
The next section functions more or less as the symphony's scherzo, but there are not many traces of the scherzo form in the almost improvisatory course of the music. It begins with some short eruptions in the brasses that are set against intangible gestures in the strings and woodwinds. There follows a section in shifting time signatures with muted timpani and pizzicato strings, later with long, chromatic melody lines in the flutes. The movement reaches its climax with a powerful transformation of the introductory motif of the brasses and then moves through a succession of solo passages to the grandly conceived finale.
The finale is a slow movement with a number of subjects that unfold one by one in dignified calm and with much contra-puntal treatment, to be combined in the end at the peak of the movement. This begins with a chorale-like theme in the woodwinds and low strings, and is followed by a cantabile D major theme in the violins. The third theme, which consists of repeated notes and a small turning figure, is heard for the first time as a contrast to the D major theme. The culmination is a masterpiece of counterpoint, where the themes are played all at once - and the D major theme into the bargain as a canon between trumpets and trombones. The movement ebbs out in a pure, quiet ending with the echo effect of the horns and an original and definitive-sounding cadence in D major.
Although the Third Symphony is among Kayser's best works, the first performance was a disappointment for him. He did not think the musicians had done their best, and the interest of the audience waned. A few people liked the work. Kayser's pupil, the composer Niels la Cour, has said of the symphony: "With its freely fantasizing structure it can almost be felt as a young man's musical self-portrait, a self-portrait that reveals a little of the world to which the composer dedicated his life. A remarkably pure and almost suprapersonal beauty radiates from this music."

Music and/as Process
Music and/as Process brings together ideas about music and the notion of process from different sub-fields within musicology and from related fields in the creative arts as a whole. These can be loosely categorised into three broad areas – composition, performance and analysis – but work in all three of these groups in the volume overlaps into the others, covers a broad range of other musicological sub-fields, and draws inspiration from, non-musicological fields. Music and/as Process comprises chapters written by a mix of scholars; some are leaders in their field and some are newer researchers, but all share an innovative and forward-thinking attitude to music research, often not well represented within 'traditional' musicology. Much of the work represented here started as papers or discussions at one of the Royal Musical Association (RMA) Music and/as Process Study Group Annual Conferences.
The first section of the book deals with the analysis of performance and the performance of analysis. The historical nature of music and the recognition of pieces as musical 'works' in the traditional sense is questioned by the authors, and is a factor in the analyses which address processes in composing, performing, and listening, and the links between these, in three very different but interlinking ways. These three approaches posit new directions and territory for musical analysis. The second section builds on the first, framing performance and/as process from the individual perspectives of the authors and their experiences as practitioners. Music by Berio, de Falla, music by the authors and their collaborators, and music composed for the authors are explored through looking at processes of interpretation and risk; processes which further undermine the ontology of the musical 'work' as traditionally understood, and bring the practitioner as active agent to the foreground of an examination of musical discourse. The third section encounters and questions the musical 'work' at its inception, exploring composition and/as process through its encounters with performance, analysis, collaboration, improvisation, translation, experimentation and cross-disciplinarity. Through explorations of new music, the way in which practitioners relate to music frame a personal and reflective account of the creative process, finally looking beyond music to musicology.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday waded into the U.S. Senate race in West Virginia, urging Republicans to reject former coal executive Don Blankenship and instead vote for either U.S. Representative Evan Jenkins or state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey.
Blankenship served time in prison for safety violations connected to a 2010 disaster that killed 29 miners and is seen as the weakest of the three candidates in the upcoming primary. The winner would take on Democratic Senator Joe Manchin in November.
Blankenship, the former chief executive officer of coal company Massey Energy, has centered his candidacy around attacking Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, accusing him of undermining Trump, and is running television ads targeting the Taiwanese heritage of McConnell's wife, U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.
Republicans are seeking to maintain control of Congress in the November midterm elections in what is increasingly being seen as a referendum on Trump's tenure in the White House.
The West Virginia race is one of several primary contests where Republicans are wrestling over their allegiance to Trump.
"To the great people of West Virginia we have, together, a really great chance to keep making a big difference. Problem is, Don Blankenship, currently running for Senate, can't win the General Election in your State … No way! Remember Alabama. Vote Rep. Jenkins or A.G. Morrisey!" Trump wrote on Twitter.

We feel beautiful, confident and happy when we know our skin is healthy. As we age our skin changes in so many different ways, one of these big changes is skin dryness. So what do we do when our skin is showing signs of dryness?
The dreaded ageing process is something we don't look forward to with each year. As our skin ages, we release less oil onto the skin which in turn can make us feel dry and dehydrated.
What causes dry skin and what can we do about it?
Our skin is the largest organ of our body so it deserves the best loving care we can give it. Your skin protects your body from pollution around you. It shields you from the elements, helps control body temperature and is responsible for your sense of touch.
When your skin is dry, these cells lose moisture and shape, so their ability to protect underlying skin is compromised, with water escaping through the surface. The result? Visibly dry, scaly or flaking skin that feels rough to the touch. On the face, this is most common along its periphery, like your cheeks, jawline and chin.
Consider adapting your daily "cleanse, tone, moisturize" skin care routine to include a few dry skin additions that will give your skin the added moisture it needs.
No longer as intimidating as they once were, serums have now become the weapon of choice of skin care junkies everywhere. But how do you choose the best serum? Our Hydra C Serum that is made with natural ingredient is formulated to address for every skin concern and are particularly known for its ability to deliver intense hydration.
It may seem too common, but drinking water throughout the day naturally keeps your body— and by extension— your skin cells, hydrated.
While it may not immediately come to mind, dry skin can sometimes be a sign of a larger skin issue. It is also important that monitoring your skin frequently and contacting a dermatologist or doctor when you notice anything suspicious is essential for maintaining skin health.
Maintaining happy, healthy skin is definitely a long term process. Nothing will give you immediate results. But if you take the time to develop a skincare routine you will see the improvements.


With all of the success Ennis High's Carli Bragg has enjoyed on the volleyball court over the last four years, it's only appropriate that her playing career will continue at the next level.
This week, the senior signed her letter of intent to play for the Navarro College Lady Dawgs in Corsicana. Navarro coach Wally Brooks came to one of Bragg's games for the Lady Lions in the fall to talk to her about his program. He also invited Bragg and fellow Lady Lion Ashley Lewis to Corsicana to check out one of the Lady Dawg practices.
Brooks actually wanted Bragg to consider playing volleyball and softball at Navarro, but after three years of playing four sports at St. John, Bragg wishes to zone in on a single sport. She is still currently on the softball field as the leadoff hitter and left fielder for the Lady Lions.
"I was going to just focus on school [in college], but I wanted to stay in shape and I love volleyball," Bragg said.
An outside hitter throughout high school, Bragg said Brooks would like to make her a libero because of her strong instincts on defense.
"I wasn't sure about that change at first, but I do love to dive for digs," she said.
Brooks certainly sounds pleased to have Bragg entering the fold for the 2009 season.
"I am very happy to find a local student-athlete who meant so much to her [high school] team," Brooks said.
Bragg thinks she wants to become a physician's assistant one day, but she'll focus on getting her basic courses out of the way next year.
"That's what [EHS athletic trainer Krystal] Cunningham wants to do and I talked to her about it, plus I have a friend who does it," Bragg said of her career aspirations.
Bragg plans to make the 20-mile trip back to Ennis often to visit her family next year. Plus, her boyfriend D.J. Betik will be a Lion senior and Bragg wants to catch some of his football games when her schedule allows.
When St. John closed last summer, Bragg's senior year still lay ahead. Well before the school year started, Bragg was getting better acquainted with Ennis High as she went through preseason workouts with the Lady Lion volleyball team.
"Coming to Ennis High, I was worried that I wouldn't have a starting spot," Bragg said.
Having to transition from TAPPS 1A to UIL 4A, Bragg met the challenge for the Lady Lions. When it was all said and done, she helped Ennis return to the playoffs for the first time in three years and earned 16-4A First Team All-District honors.
"As far as becoming an all-district player here, I just look at it like working hard pays off in the end," Bragg said.
Wanting to prove herself to her Lady Lion teammates, Bragg said she tried to work harder and harder in each practice to show coach Kim Vernor and the other players that she was willing to do whatever the team needed.
"Coach Vernor was going to change some things [about my game], but she decided since it was my senior year and things were working early on that she wasn't going to change the way I played," Bragg said.
As for Vernor, she was thrilled to have Bragg come aboard. In fact, the coach drastically revamped her lineup when Bragg entered the picture as an accomplished outside hitter.
"I wanted to use Ashley and Tina as middle hitters, but that wasn't an option until Carli came over," Vernor said.
Taking the perspective of a college coach for a moment, Vernor could certainly see why Bragg drew interest from the Lady Dawgs coach.
"Carli's versatility makes her valuable to a college team," Vernor said.
No coach in any sport has ever complained of Bragg being a problem on or off the court, because she's all about taking care of business and making a positive contribution.
"Carli always did everything I asked and she meshed very well with our team," Vernor said.
Bragg's parents, Keith and Connie, have always been very supportive of her efforts in all sports and it's no surprise they were at the top of her thank-you list.
"I want to thank my parents and all of my family for their support," she said.
All Bragg has ever known is working hard and laying it all on the line to make every team she played for better. It's safe to say that approach will be embraced by Lady Dawg volleyball.

South of Schladming, at the foot of the imposing Dachstein Glacier is Ramsau. This is a romantic alpine village situated on a plateau about 300 m above the Enns Valley. Ramsau is known as the village with the most horses in Austria. It is very worthwhile taking a horseride through the rolling mountains. Please note that Ramsau and the surrounding villages are quite far apart.
The ski resort of Ramsau is suitable for all levels due to its great diversity. Beginners can get plenty of practice on the wide and relatively flat slopes, while there are also famous and challenging freeride runs for advanced skiers. Besides skiing, you can use a carriage or sleigh for a ride through the mountains, which gives great views over the snowy landscapes.
In Ramsau am Dachtstein you have the choice of several ski areas. The advanced skier will be drawn towards [IL: ATSTEI013] and Ramsau itself is ideal for beginners who can practice techniques on the gentle slopes. There are other ski resorts nearby such as Fageralm in [IL: ATSTEI005], Galsterbergalm, Stoderzinken and the Dachstein glacier which are not all connected but the ski bus takes you quickly from area to area.
Ramsau am Dachstein is also very popular with cross-country skiers. The village has been awarded several cross-country labels and they are well-deserved. Around the village you will find no less than 220 kilometers of cross-country trails! Whether you are advanced or beginner there are always the right trails for you. There is even an illuminated night trail of 2.5 km in the World Cup cross-country stadium.


There's a general election in NZ on 23 September, and we've invited each of the four major political parties to chat social enterprise, community and engagement. This third episode is with Alfred Ngaro, Minister for Community and Voluntary Sector for the governing National Party.
Our purpose in producing this series is to 'be useful to building the social enterprise sector in New Zealand through meaningful dialogue with politicians'. We're under no illusions that what they say will bias your primary voting decisions, but we do hope this series is useful in learning more about where each party sees #SocEnt currently, and what intent and plans (if any) they have for the future.
Our long-form '2 guests, brews and weeks' returns next week to the 'normal' fortnightly schedule and 'founder stories and journeys to now' content.
two weeks in creative endeavour is an independent show (in all senses of the word). We have no affiliation with any of the politicians featured. Grateful thanks to them for giving valuable time to share their views in the digital. This episode recorded at Minister Ngaro's office at Parliament last month/Monday 21st August 2017.

Forward Arkansas: Pre-k access, workforce training part of plan to improve education outcomes
FedEx, UPS to raise rates up to 10% in 2023
BusinessLatest News
by Kim Souza ([email protected]) December 20, 2022 3:21 pm 1,057 views
Shipping costs are projected to increase between 8% and 10% in 2023 from FedEx and UPS, the two largest U.S. package delivery companies, according to a Dec. 16 report from TransImpact.
The shipping consultancy predicts there will be virtually no difference in 2023 rates between FedEx and UPS. Though the rates will differ depending on specific products, the all-in result is there will be virtually no discrepancy between the carriers, the report noted. Both have announced record 6.9% general rate increases (GRIs) for 2023. However, virtually all parcel traffic moves under contract.
TransImpact said UPS rates for three-day deliveries will be about 15% below those of FedEx and UPS will also underprice on second-day morning service in the U.S. and on most international routes. However, FedEx will underprice UPS on the carriers' slowest and least expensive ground services, TransImpact said. UPS' SurePost service is managed in conjunction with the U.S. Postal Service, which delivers UPS' parcels. The report said there will not be much total difference in the delivery charge increase of two carriers in 2023 but there will be some variance depending on the specific surcharges, the report noted.
The report said both carriers will retain their per-pound international delivery surcharges in 2023, first instituted to combat the declining air cargo capacity during the first two years of the pandemic. TransImpact said a lack of price gap between UPS and FedEx is not really a surprise given the companies' move to be competitive, but each company has unique challenges that resulted in rate increases.
FedEx has been hit by high double-digit labor cost increases at its FedEx Ground unit since 2021, the report noted. By contrast, UPS has been shielded from the surge in labor cost inflation because its 2018 contract with 380,000 members of the Teamsters union locked in modest annualized increases over the past five years.
FedEx on Tuesday reported second fiscal quarter net income of $788 million, down from $1.04 billion in the same period of 2021. Earnings per share of $3.07 was better than the consensus estimate of $2.82 per share. The Memphis-based company also said it is reducing full fiscal year capital spending by $400 million.
In 2023, UPS will face a significant cost adjustment when the Teamsters contract comes up for renewal in July, the report said. The Teamsters leadership have already said they plan to ask for a significant wage increase during the next contract negotiations.
The growth of online commerce has forced UPS and FedEx to invest in infrastructure and workforce during the pandemic, but now as demand is cooling, the package carriers will be working to protect margins through higher rates, the report said.
Trucking industry carriers said they expect freight volumes to decline in 2023 as the economy slows. Among major long-haul freight carriers that serve retailers there is pressure on freight rates amid declining volumes and excess capacity in containers compared to the past couple of years. However, less-than-truckload carriers expect to raise rates in 2023 between 5% to 14% depending on company and freight lanes, according to a recent survey from Peerless Research Group.

Pertrochanteric Calcifications in Patients With Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome: Description, Prevalence, and Correlation With Intraoperatively Diagnosed Hip Abductor Tendon Injuries
Background: Pertrochanteric calcifications can be found in patients with greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). A systematic description of the types and prevalence of these calcifications has not been undertaken. Furthermore, there is conflicting evidence regarding their association with abductor tendon injuries.
Purpose: (1) To describe the various types and prevalence of pertrochanteric calcifications in patients presenting for the surgical management of recalcitrant GTPS. (2) To evaluate the association of the various calcifications with intraoperatively diagnosed hip abductor tendon injuries, including tendinosis, partial-thickness tears, and full-thickness tears.
Study design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.
Methods: Patients undergoing surgical management for GTPS, in isolation or as an ancillary procedure during hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement, between April 2008 and February 2020 were included. Of these, 85 procedures were isolated treatment of GTPS and the remaining 628 were ancillary to hip arthroscopy. Radiographs were scrutinized for the presence of pertrochanteric calcifications. The hip abductor tendon status was intraoperatively classified as intact, partial-thickness tear, or full-thickness tear. The prevalence and correlation of the various radiographic findings in relation to the intraoperatively classified tendon condition were analyzed via the odds ratio (OR).
Results: Surgery was performed on 713 hips with recalcitrant GTPS. No tear was found in 340 hips (47.7%), 289 hips (40.5%) had a partial-thickness tear, and 84 hips (11.8%) had a full-thickness tear. Radiographically, 102 hips (14.3%) demonstrated proximally directed enthesophytes, and 34 (4.8%) had distally directed enthesophytes. In addition, 75 hips (10.5%) had amorphous calcifications, 47 (6.6%) had isolated ossicles, and 110 (15.4%) had surface irregularities. The presence of any calcification was associated with partial-thickness tears (OR, 1.67 [95% CI, 1.21-2.21]; P = .002) and full-thickness tears (OR, 6.40 [95% CI, 3.91-10.47]; P < .001). Distally directed enthesophytes (OR, 10.18 [95% CI, 3.08-33.63]; P < .001) and proximally directed enthesophytes (OR, 8.69 [95% CI, 4.66-16.21]; P < .001) were the findings with the highest OR for the presence of any type of tear. Distally directed enthesophytes were the findings with the highest OR for a full-thickness tear (OR, 15.79 [95% CI, 7.55-33.06]; P < .001). Isolated ossicles were the findings with the highest OR for a partial-thickness tear (OR, 1.73 [95% CI, 0.96-3.13]; P = .070).
Conclusion: Pertrochanteric calcifications were common radiographic findings in patients with GTPS and can help guide management in these patients. Proximally and distally directed enthesophytes were strong predictors for the presence of a hip abductor tendon tear, and specifically a full-thickness tear, and increasing size of the findings was associated with more severe tendon injuries.

Giving the Dems Their Due feat. Jason Harris
They lost Florida, they lost key Senate races, they lost ground in the House, and they lost their collective cool as they descended into arguments and infighting this week. But the Democrats also won their biggest prize, and it wasn't really very close. Today, Americans all across the political spectrum (except the right) are breathing a sigh of relief that at least bad-orange-man can't hurt them anymore.
We talked with Awesome Movie Year cohost Jason Harris about the historic effort it took to drag Trump from power and the accompanying catharsis. We also got an inside look at some of the jokes he's workshopping as Joe Biden's ghostwriter.

#181: Jason Harris: The Art of Soulful Persuasion
Jason Harris is Co-Founder and CEO of Mekanism, an award-winning creative advertising agency. Jason is the author of The Soulful Art of Persuasion that highlights the 11 habits you need to become more authentically or soulfully persuasive. He proves that persuasion is not a dirty word, but the most positive, productive, and ethical way of changing peoples' minds through the cultivation of character building habits.
Become a person with more fulfilling experiences and more authentic personal relationships! Tune in to this episode to learn the power of positivity and persuasion, collaboration, storytelling, building lasting relationships, and actionable habits that you can implement to become a master influencer.
Why did you write The Soulful Art of Persuasion? What was the inspiration behind it?
He's an avid reader, listener of podcasts, and loves reading business books. As an entrepreneur, he's figuring out how other people approach business and sales, so he consumes that type of content. It dawned on him that there's something different about the way he approaches business and the principals he follows compared to everyone else's approach. He saw transactional, short-term methods of building a business rather than relationship and long-term focused methods. He had a different angle and a different thing to say in the business book atmosphere. To Jason, the idea of being a soulful persuader and influencer is being an influencer in your personal and professional sphere.
What are the core principals of your book and how did you develop these principals?
Jason worked at a lot of different companies before starting his own and he felt like he didn't respond well to a lot of the company cultures he was experiencing. There wasn't much of a space where people could feel truly themselves and be original, so he learned a lot of what he wanted to create and the ways he wanted to work from seeing what other people were doing, both positive and negative. He kept a journal of these ideas and beliefs until he developed the four core beliefs that he follows to this day. The four principals are: be original, be generous, be empathetic, and be soulful. His inspiration also came from books he was reading, the way people made him feel, and seeing success growing from long-term relationships.
How did you decide that those four, out of all the principals we could live by, were essential?
The 11 habits he mentions in the book fall under these categories. Being soulful came last to him, but the other three came from a balance of business, how he wants to pursue his life, and the type of person he wants to be. Some of the habits came naturally to him and some he had to practice and develop over time.
What's an example of something that was not natural for you?
Jason isn't a naturally generous person. He says he was born on the more self-absorbed and slightly selfish side. Through work and growing up and his experiences, he realized that it's a characteristic that's really important.
When working with big brands, how do you tell a story that can build a sense of trust, but that is also not transactional?
You can't always do that. They'll send you a brief of what to talk about and then you come up with the creative work off of that brief. You have to absorb what they're saying and what they want to accomplish, then crack the creative and spit it back to them with ideas that position the brand in a way that you feel is right. It's always a dance with what you feel the audience will respond to and what the brand thinks they will respond to. He tries to embody the principals of being original and knowing the audience.
Do you think the art of storytelling in a way that connects with the person or brand applies to long-term relationships?
Definitely, 100%. When he talks about relationships, there are personal and professional relationships and you have to approach them in a similar fashion.
Can you share with us your journey and how you got to where you are now?
Jason is an odd duck in the sense that he knew he wanted to be in advertising at the age of 12 or 13. Both his parents were teachers so he grew up in an academic household. He was a TV junkie and would always break down and study the stories in between the shows he watched. He realized that must be a fun job to create those advertisements and the first time he thought he was persuaded was around the same age when the band KISS transported him through storytelling.
Stories can be from your heart, your life, books you love, music, and movies. Success in a lot of areas is built on storytelling techniques.
Did you get your degree in advertising?
Jason got his degree in economics to make his parents happy, then he hustled to get his foot in the door at a design firm, then a few advertising agencies doing direct mail, strategy, and production. He got a feel for how business is done and what it's like through these different areas of the companies. With a decade of advertising under his belt, he started a production company, and then a couple years later, he co-founded Mekanism which has been around for over 10 years.
Looking back, had your journey been a bit confusing but now makes sense?
Yes, when you start out, it meanders a lot and he did have aspirations to open his own company after college. He didn't know exactly what area or that he wanted to be CEO but he had that entrepreneurial spirit. It's interesting how your journey can be both focused and flexible. The hardest thing is figuring out the industry you love and what skills you have that you can apply in that industry.
What's an obstacle, fear, or limiting belief that you feel like you encountered in your journey of figuring out the path that you really wanted to be on?
For Jason, he likes to have control. When he moved to having partners, from having all the control in his own company, the limiting thing for him was: can he learn to let go and let other people take the reins and control their areas? That was a really hard thing for him to learn and he feels like he's good at it now, after a few years of learning.
How do you build trust?
Today more than ever, trust is so important because we've gotten so entrenched in our beliefs. We watch the stations and follow the social media that are going to tell us what we believe is right. We have to try and open this view about the idea about empathy and understanding and being curious about other people. That builds trust. When we, in business, think about techniques like mirror matching our audience to help sell something, that's not building trust, that's not being vulnerable or showing who we are. When you're allowed to tell stories to people you might not even know, that allows them to do the same, and it allows trust to be built. Listening and trying to learn more than you might be judging other people also builds trust.
Empathy allows you to collaborate better. That's another aspect of persuasion, joining forces with other people. Look at other people and see that we're really not that different from each other. Seek the common ground and approach everyone as an equal, thinking about collaboration.
Can you share one or two of these 11 habits that can be really simple and practical that we can apply today?
One thing Jason always thinks about in business is this notion of never be closing. It's an idea of shifting your thinking, when you're thinking about any deal, and going against the transactional way of thinking that will sabotage your attempts at persuasion. Thinking about building a relationship rather than closing the deal. If you do that, the impact of what you're actually trying to close magnifies.
Another thing is trying not to let your relationships drop to zero. Think about reaching out to five people every week to keep those relationships going. When it comes to social media, how do you think about sharing your interests with everyone vs reaching out and sharing with a particular person or group of people that would care about that issue.
Could you post something on Instagram and share it personally with another person?
Either way, it's the ability of thinking about it as an act of generosity and thinking of who might benefit from this piece of knowledge and the connection. It's the mindset that makes a big difference.
Can you share a story of a time where you didn't have a relationship with somebody but you wanted to foster one and the process you went through to make that happen?
Jason shares about a business relationship where he met an interesting guy at a conference, how he wrote him a letter about how great he thinks his brand is and sent him a Mekansim hoodie. That meant a lot to him and about six months later, they decided to put the business up for review and threw Mekansim into the mix because he had that memory on his chest all the time. Now, they've been working together for over six years.
Let me know if you agree, I think complementing people is so underused.
Jason agrees! Reach out to your role models to express your thoughts and the impacts of the business on you personally. Let them know you'd love to have a follow-up conversation about it, that's how you build a relationship. There's so few people who do that nowadays and when someone does that, it's super powerful. Part of persuasion is that awareness of the other person and generosity, acknowledgement, and research on who you want to network with can be very similar to complements.
What's a question you ask yourself a lot in terms of business in order to move it forward?
He's always thinking about: are the messages that we're putting into the world positive stories? Are we filling the world with more positivity or are we just adding to the negative noise?
What's the best advice you've ever been given?
This idea that business is a marathon and not a sprint. Building your career doesn't have to happen as fast as you think it has to happen. Allow yourself to realize that you can take time with it. Allow yourself to know that relationships do take time and work and you always have to exercise that muscle.
I think the essence of business is relationships, what's your take?
Yeah, that's all it is. It's relationships with people and that's it.
Any last thoughts?
The idea of soulfulness in business – something that's helped Jason is trying to be inspirational in whatever career or industry he's in. It does help you become more influential and feel good, putting positive things out there and inspire by giving back. Direct your skill(s) towards something that's bigger than yourself, like teaching tennis in low-income areas. It's a very important aspect of success.
Do you use the word intention in your work?
He doesn't but now he's going to because he really likes it and it's important!

Vigor Life Podcast · EP113: The Soulful Art of Persuasion & Becoming A Better Human w/ Jason Harris
I met Jason Harris at my friend Adam's 212 entrepreneur event when he was one of the mentors. At the event, Jason gave a presentation on connecting your business to social good and philanthropy. He talk resonated deeply with me and led to what I now consider a great relationship with him.
A little history about Jason. He is the President and CEO of award-winning creative agency, Mekanism. Where he works closely with brands through a blend of "Soul & Science" to create shareable and provocative campaigns that engage audiences. Under Harris' leadership, Mekanism has been named to Ad Age's "Agency A List" and twice to their "Best Places to Work", as well as been listed on Creativity "The Creative 50" and recognized by Effie as one of the "Most Effective Independent Agencies". He has been profiled by The New York Times, Fast Company and ABC's Nightline.
Harris serves on the board of directors for Advertising Week and the United Nations' Social Impact Leadership Council, and is an advising member of the elite Marketing 50. He has helped build and refresh some of the world's most iconic brands, including adidas, MillerCoors, Levi's, Ben & Jerry's, HBO, Nasdaq, Amazon, The North Face and The United Nations.
Jason also wrote the best seller, "The Soulful Art of Persuasion: The 11 Habits That Will Make Anyone A Master Influencer"; which is what we dive into this podcast episode.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN
What made Jason decide to go from helping some of the most well-known companies in the world with advertising, to writing a book on persuasion.
Why/how the book started as "The 10 Greatest Marketing Campaigns Ever…." but evolved into a book that can replace "How To Win Friends and Influence People".
Why relationship building, marketing and business all come down to your daily behaviors and how you operate.
Why most business books aren't practical and don't help you change who you are and change the actions that lead you to success; and why Jason felt that a guide book to change was actually needed.
How to create your own personal guiding compass even if you're a young entrepreneur. "Expose your psychic skin."
The power of storytelling and why it's integral to creating connection with people.
What "Never Be Closing" means and why it's the most powerful long-term success strategy.
One of Jason's daily habits that you can apply today and change the way you do business and build relationships.
How my conversations with Jason led me to create the Vigor DREAM program; which will now partner with Badges and Barbells to help mentor underprivileged youth.
Why fear based persuasion does NOT work better than positive persuasion, especially in the long-term.
The collaboration imperative and how it is better than constantly being competitive.
The story of the "Million Dollar Hoodie" and how you too can create stories like that in your business.
Why Tom Hanks is the most trusted man in America and how building your skillset and building celebrity will make you much more trusted.
The habit of skill hunting and why this may be the reason you're not achieving the growth you want in your life and business.
What "Personal Jesus" means and why you MUST have this in your life and work to be fulfilled. It's also a way to pay your skillsets forward.
Jason's personal thought process in making campaigns that succeed and how you can mirror it for your own business.

O.C.C.: Oscar Category Completist
Episode #27: The Oscar Host Draft with Jason Harris from Awesome Movie Year
Following reports the Academy is looking at bringing back a host for next year's Oscar ceremony, Jake is joined by comedian and filmmaker Jason Harris from the Awesome Movie Year podcast to run down their top picks for next year's hosts in the first unofficial O.C.C. Oscar Host Draft. Theme song is Inevitable Hope by RKVC.


Products of the Bath Rugby Academy, Mark Lilley and Louis Messer have returned to where it all began as they look to develop the next crop of talent at the Club.
Lilley and Messer both spent their early years of their rugby careers in the Academy, with the aforementioned making 25 appearances in the first team before going on to play for Bristol, London Scottish and finally Rosslyn Park. Messer meanwhile took a different path after a serious injury bought a premature end to his playing career. The former England Students representative spent time coaching at Cardiff Metropolitan University before he joined Lilley back in the West Country at Bath Rugby.
Messer, also a Pathway Coach added: "When this job came up, it was time to come home and something I'd always aspired to be a part of. It was a little bit of unfinished business for me when it came to Bath, so it was great to have the opportunity to come back. What we're working on is that last piece in the jigsaw puzzle in terms of player development to ensure we have a clear pathway and programme for players beyond the age of 18."
The Club has recently cemented partnerships with Beechen Cliff School and the University of Bath, relationships which they hope will prove to be fruitful in years to come. Beechen Cliff has unearthed the likes of Bath duo Kane Palma-Newport and Freddie Burns and the aspiration for Lilley and Messer is to see more players coming through the pathway to win first team honours.
Lilley explains: "The aspiration is to identify players at an early age and then offer high quality coaching, but equally to ensure that doors are open along the way for later developers. Hopefully some the guys that follow this pathway, will exit university, come into the first team environment and eventually get to play first team rugby. It's a really long process and to create Bath first team players, it takes a lot of time and resource, but it's a great opportunity for us to have consistency throughout the pathway and we have some good young players already working within the programme."
"Relationships are key to developing players at any club and the University gives the squad first team experience, where they are important players within a club and can learn about how to deal with the wins, losses and the process of learning together," Messer adds.
One of the Academy's key focuses is not only around identifying talent, but also nurturing them throughout University and giving those players the opportunities to showcase their talent in the professional environment.
Lilley added: "We've had guys that aren't contracted at the Club that have played their part already this season. There have been 14 university players that have represented Bath United in the A League, so it's not just players that are with the Club, but also from the University that have the opportunity to play a really high standard of rugby. This is a stepping stone to go on and represent Bath.
However, Messer is keen to stress that a lot of work in this partnership is built around not only preparing individuals for a life on the field, but also away from the sport. Current Academy protégées Josh Bayliss and Darren Atkins are just two players studying alongside their commitments with Bath Rugby, something which Messer feels is particularly important.
Lilley admits that the partnership will flourish being so close to Farleigh, with the players from 15-years-old through to the Academy having the opportunity to train alongside the first team. Not only that, but Lilley and Messer have been able to draw upon the squad's vast experience to help with their coaching techniques, something which has been hugely important.
"The Academy Player Development Group train on Monday nights, where we work with a large group of young men from 15-18. Some of these players also train up at Farleigh alongside the University on Saturday morning and get to see what they could experience further down the pathway, and as a professional rugby player. It sometimes links up well when Bath has a game on the Sunday – they'll team run on a Saturday and there's a clear vision from top to bottom of how the pathway is working. You're seeing it visually, not just on a slideshow presentation.
The history of the Club speaks for itself, but Lilley and Messer are clear about what the long-term aspirations are for the Bath Rugby Academy.
Messer explains: "From a young age, we used to be in the stands at the Rec watching. You get engrossed in the atmosphere and the prestige of wanting to become a Bath player. You don't just see talent, you see players that want to be part of the Club. Now we're capturing these players at 14-15 in Dorset, Wiltshire and Somerset through the DPP and the whole pathway keeps banging the drum of what the Club is about.

This file is used to list changes made in each version of the chef-server cookbook.

## 5.3.0 (2017-04-11)

- Convert testing to kitchen-dokken with inspec with a test recipe that looks more like the wrapper cookbook a user would use
- Convert lint / unit testing from Rake to Delivery local mode
- Remove the table of product names in the readme, which weren't up to date. Link to mixlib-install instead since that list is updated
- Update the license strings to be SPDX standard Apache-2.0

## 5.2.0 (2017-03-27)

- Add compat_resource to the readme instructions
- Pin chef-ingredient and require Chef 12.5+

## 5.1.0 (2016-09-16)
- Testing updates
- Require Chef 12.1 not 12.0

## v5.0.1 (2016-04-28)

As of Chef management console 2.3.0 the [Chef MLSA must be accepted when reconfiguring the product.](https://docs.chef.io/install_server.html) Chef ingredient added the [accept_license](https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/chef-ingredient/pull/101) property to provide a way to automate this. This fix adds the attribute ['chef-server']['accept_license']. The default value is _false_. Individuals must explicitly change the value to true in their environment.

## v5.0.0 (2016-04-13)

### Breaking Changes:

This cookbook now requires chef-ingredient 0.18 or later. This switches the package source for chef-server packages to packages.chef.io, and also changes the names of the server add-ons as follows:

- chef-ha -> ha
- chef-sync -> sync
- push-server -> push-jobs-server

## v4.1.0 (2015-08-31)

- [#105](https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/chef-server): Move `fqdn_resolves` method to chef-ingredient cookbook.

## v4.0.0 (2015-06-30)

**Major version update, breaking changes ahead**

- 84: Add ability to set the package source with an attribute for local package installation
- 90: **Breaking** Use [chef-ingredient cookbook](https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/chef-ingredient). The breaking change is that of the configuration file. Users who are modifying the configuration with the `node['chef-server']['configuration']` attribute as a hash will need to convert it to a string. See the README for more detail.
- 93: Add a `topology` attribute. Finally you can use this cookbook for non-standalone installs.

## v3.1.1 (2015-04-09)

- various cleanup
- rubocop -a
- adding .kitchen.cloud.yml
- minor readability refactoring

## v3.1.0 (2015-03-16)

- Add a recipe and attribute to support installing addons. These are Chef premium features, see the README for more information about the `addons` recipe.

## v3.0.1 (2015-03-02)

- Issue #74, use :reconfigure action instead of notification so other configuration can happen after the Server is up within the same Chef run.

## v3.0.0 (2015-02-24)

**Major Version Update**

Version 3.0.0 supports Chef Server 12. For background and rationale, see [the mailing list post](http://lists.opscode.com/sympa/arc/chef/2015-02/msg00351.html). Changes are from commit [0f2d123](https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/chef-server/commit/0f2d123ad9ebb40ac18fdabdeee2d66735604bbe).

- Remove the omnitruck API client library and related attributes
- Use packagecloud repository for packages through the `chef_server_ingredient` resource
- Remove the `dev` recipe
- Remove the dependency on the git cookbook
- Remove the Vagrantfile - we use test-kitchen now
- Update the Berksfile accordingly
