11-13-13…..marks 12 years since a brain AVM (arteriovenous malformation) was discovered.
Well two as a matter of fact. They were discovered by one if them rupturing. In short I was on disability from work for a year….and was told I wouldn't be able to walk without a walking device (cane or walker). Obviously I thought that was silly. Fast forward 12 years and I have so many great people in my life that have gave me the confidence to try to go above just walking. I have a half marathon this Sunday…and it's not my first. I thought a great anniversary gift to myself would be to do a box jump in crossfit. Now to others that seems like an easy accomplishment….for me not so much. Well I have been working on them I was able to jump on the box but then I sort of fell backwards BUT I got up there. So I consider this a win. So this D Day anniversary I choose to celebrate my awesome friends that motivate me everyday to be more than ordinary.
Running friends celebrating Janeen's anniversary.
I'm so glad I didn't step my game up and wear eye makeup today. Can you say eye sweats? I mean, reading this stopped my complaining dead in its tracks. I thought about Janeen–her amazing story, the feats she has overcome. I live among miracles. We all live among miracles. Among us are people who were never supposed to walk again. Someone who was not supposed to live beyond six months or run that marathon they wanted to run or even get a job they were not qualified for on paper. Yet, these things are happening around us, among us. Thank you, Janeen for celebrating your miracle and for celebrating your friends. I'm happy to be included in that lot, because today you reminded me that miracles are not a thing of the past; they are always happening, always present. You are proof of that–one mile and one box jump at a time. Happy Anniversary, Janeen!

A new app geared towards locating missing people with Alzheimer's could help save lives.
Jim Baird of Alzheimer Scotland described the technology as being like Facebook but for people with the neurodegenerative disease.
Dubbed Purple Alert, the app aims to get community involved in a search for a missing person or someone who has lost their way.
It share information and allows for more eyes and ears on the ground to help with the search.
Jim Baird told the Kilmarnock Standard: "This technology is absolutely critical.
Newmilns man refused alcohol licence following conviction for fraud
"Many people will be familiar with the GPS technology that was previously used to track people with Alzheimer's.
"The problem with GPS trackers is that people don't always pick them up when leaving the house.
"This new app is almost like a version of Facebook but only for people with Alzheimer's and their families.
"It allows the community to see when someone with Alzheimer's has gone missing.
"This has already been rolled out and seven people have been found already so it is working.
"This could be saving lives and that's invaluable."

Alzheimer Scotland will be promoting the app in Stewarton all next week at the following locations:
●Monday – Stewarton Health Centre.
●Tuesday– Stewarton railway station, area centre and Co-op.
●Wednesday- Stewarton Health Centre.
●Thursday – Stewarton Sainsbury's supermarket.

Ingleby Barwick and Thornaby
Remember When: Toy collection goes to auction in Thornaby
It's 10 years since one of the biggest toy collections seen anywhere in the world went up for auction on Teesside
The 50,000-piece Zegel collection came from the United States
It's 10 years since one of the biggest toy collections seen anywhere in the world went up for auction on Teesside.
Thornaby auctioneers Vectis put the massive 50,000-item collection up for sale, with an expectation of making £1m from the vast, colourful array of sought after Corgi and Dinky toys.
As reported in the Gazette on July 1, 2003, the toys were brought to Britain for sale after their owner, American physicist Ferdinand Zegel, died the year before.
The collection included 30,000 rare die-cast toys from makers such as Matchbox, Tekno, CIJ, and Spot On, along with thousands of toy soldiers and more than 1,000 tinplate toys.
At the time, Bryan Goodall, Vectis chairman, described the items as representing "a life's work of collecting" and as "one of the largest collections ever to come up for sale".
He added the family had decided to sell the collection in the UK because it had become the focal point for toy sales around the world.
Staff from Vectis travelled to the United States to pack the toys into two massive containers.
It was to be sold through at least six separate auctions in order to do it justice.
The first sale was held on September 10 and 11, 2003, in Buckingham.
During those sales, a set of toys made before the Dinky dynasty sold for a world record price.
The 1933 set, part of the Modelled Miniature series that were the forerunners of Dinky toys, went for £12,650.
At the same sale, a 28- series delivery van made the same year and advertising "Ensign films" made £4,717 alone, while a collection of seven 28 series vans made a total of £26,335.
The sale of vans far exceeded the expected £20,000 price tag that was originally put on them by Vectis.
In August the same year, Vectis pulled in a £9,990 profit for a Welsh pensioner when it sold a set of 20 plastic Star Wars figures she bought for just 49p each in 1977.
The woman in her eighties had bought a complete set for her grandson to play with - but kept a second set back in case any became lost.
Telephone bids to the sale came from as far away as America and Japan and her Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca figures alone sold for £1,162 each.
The Thornaby toy auctioneer continues to sell collectable toys for tens of thousands of pounds today.
Most recently, we reported how an 80-crate collection of Dinky toy cars, trucks and trailers, is set to go under the hammer for£100,000.


With spring here and summer right around the corner, people are starting to do some spring cleaning. For many, this also marks the start of the lawn care and gardening season, which means many people have their lawns sprayed with chemicals for various reasons. If you're a dog owner however, you may want to reconsider the use of said chemicals, as they've been found to have a direct link to not one but two types of cancer in dogs.
According to a study that took over six years to complete, many of the chemicals used can raise your dog's chances of getting CML, or canine malignant lymphoma. The study too place at the Foster Hospital for Small Animals at Tuft's University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, and studied all of the main stream, professionally administered chemicals in use today.
The dogs that find themselves at the top of the risk pool for CML are often dogs over 50 pounds, and were living in homes where pesticides and herbicides are used. The study also took into account for lawn care products with insect growth regulators, which are also known as chemical killing agents.
The other type of cancer that has been linked to these chemicals is bladder cancer. The dogs were often found to have high levels of the toxins in their urine, which has to pass through the bladder eventually. Combine the fact that many dogs spend a good deal of time laying on the grass in the family yard all summer, with the fact that many of these toxins can be carried on the wind and into the lives of dogs whose family doesn't use these chemicals.
The studies conducted here were only one over a six year period, which normally isn't long enough to get a good grasp of everything that is going on. However, all of the dogs studied had alarming amounts of toxins and chemicals in their systems. All of this, just or a weed free lawn during the summer. It's something to seriously consider, because if it's bad for them, it's probably bad for us too.

Private Client Services Update – Virginia Has Authorized Asset Protection Trusts – But Do They Work?
By Gregory R. Davis, Estate, Trust & Wealth Transfer
Virginia recently joined 13 other states which have enacted legislation allowing the creation of domestic asset protection trusts (DAPTs). The new statute, section 64.2-745.1 et seq. of the Virginia Code effective July 1, 2012, allows a person to create an irrevocable trust benefitting him or herself, which protects assets transferred to the trust against the claims of creditors of the trust maker or 'settlor.'
Virginia's self-settled spendthrift trust law contains more restrictions than the legislation enacted by other states. First, creditors with claims existing at the time of the creation of the asset protection trust have a five year period in which to make claims against assets in the trust. This claim period is longer than the period allowed in most other states which have enacted DAPT statutes. Second, an independent trustee is required in order to preserve the asset protection attributes of the trust. The settlor, a spouse, descendants, siblings, parents, employees of the settlor and entities under the control of the settlor cannot serve as trustee. Finally, a trust created purely to defraud known creditors is not effective.
The availability of Virginia DAPTs offers a statutorily created planning tool with great potential. The law offers asset protection advantages to many trusts created for purposes beyond mere creditor protection, such as insurance trusts and land trusts. That said, it must be noted that the Virginia self-settled creditor protection trust strategy has not yet withstood a challenge in the courts where Federal law could take away these Virginia protections. Thus the safety of Virginia asset protection trusts remains untested.
Recent decisions in other jurisdictions have made it clear that asset protection trusts are not unassailable. An earlier article distributed by the Kaufman & Canoles Private Client Services Group explained the actions of a Federal Bankruptcy Court in ruling an Alaska DAPT ineffective as against creditors in Battley v. Mortensen. 10 B.R. 146 (Bankr. D. Alaska 2011). The bankruptcy court in Battley concluded that the purpose of the trust was evidence of an intent to defraud creditors because the stated purpose was "to maximize the protection of the trust estate or estates from creditors' claims of the Grantor or any beneficiary and to minimize all wealth transfer taxes." Although Mortensen was solvent when he created the trust, the stated purpose of the trust made clear his intent to hinder, delay and defraud present and future creditors. The transfer of the property to the trust, therefore, was voided.
More recently, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York permitted the IRS to collect unpaid taxes from assets held in a DAPT. In United States v. Evseroff, No. 00-CV-06029 (E.D.N.Y., April 30, 2012), the government successfully reached all of the assets held by a trust created by Jacob Evseroff, using those assets to satisfy Evseroff's tax delinquencies. The United States District Court looked to Evseroff's intent to determine that the conveyances of his primary residence and a large sum of cash to a DAPT were fraudulent. At the time of the conveyances to the trust, Evseroff was well aware of his tax liabilities. Prior to the conveyances to the trust, he had received two letters from the IRS and a notice of deficiency indicating he had a tax liability of more than $700,000. Further evidence of his intent to shield his assets from creditors was that he continued to retain the benefits of ownership of assets in his DAPT after the transfer.
Offshore trusts, the precursors to domestic asset protection trusts created in the United States, were successfully attacked by creditors in two separate 2012 cases. One, from the Illinois Supreme Court, suggests that even DAPTs which are created properly may still be vulnerable to judgments in those states that do not have legislation permitting DAPTs. Rush Univ. Med. Ctr. v. Sessions, 980 N.E.2d 45 (Ill. 2012).
These recent successful challenges to asset protection trusts have generally involved poor structuring of the trusts, or fairly blatant efforts to use asset protection trusts improperly to evade taxes or gain advantage in a divorce. Virginia lawyers eagerly await confirmation from the courts that properly structured DAPT planning offers solid asset protection. Until that happens, conservative use of this planning tool is in order.

Published on Monday, January 13, 2020
Pilots' fury as Flybe 'asks Government for emergency bailout'
Pilots have reacted angrily to media reports that Flybe's owners are holding secret talks with the UK government to prevent the airline's collapse.
It's been claimed that the airline, which operates half of the UK's domestic flights outside London, has asked ministers for an emergency cash injection to keep it flying.
The airline was rescued less than a year ago by a Virgin Atlantic-led consortium, which includes the Stobart Group and investment firm Cyrus Capital, which paid £2.2 million for its assets and operations and created a new entity, Connect Airways.
However, Sky News reported that the airline needs more financing than the group had envisaged, and accountancy firm EY is on standby to handle any potential administration.
Stobart and Virgin have refused to comment on the speculation and Flybe services are operating normally today.
A Flybe spokeswoman said: "Flybe continues to focus on providing great service and connectivity for our customers, to ensure that they can continue to travel as planned.
"We don't comment on rumour or speculation."
Flybe flies 8.5 million passengers a year to 170 destinations in Europe, operating from UK domestic airports.
The British Airline Pilots Association, which represents all Flybe pilots, said up to 1,500 pilots' jobs are under threat.
"I am appalled that once again the future of a major UK airline and hundreds of jobs is being discussed in secret with no input from employees or their representatives," said general secretary Brian Strutton.
"According to reports the airline could have collapsed over the weekend which would have been devastating news. This is an appalling state of affairs and we demand that the owners of Flybe - Virgin, Stobart and Cyrus - and the Government departments involved stop hiding and talk to us about Flybe.
"We have a right to be consulted and the staff have a right to know what is going on."


Home > News > 2017 Legislative Session Begins!
Great first day to the 2017 Legislative Session. Got sworn in (with my beautiful wife sitting next to me), voted on a few bills, witnessed the largest rally I've ever seen at the capitol. Democracy in action!


Oh! Right! Actually run on 1.7.0.227 (updated las week). I'll immediately download the latest and check with the same tests. Thank you. EDIT It says it's the latest version when clicking on the "about" info menu... I run to the web site to have a look.
One more thing: Yet few walls and hussels to overcome. How can I manage these issues?
Right. Leaving Quark for InDesign was quite a challenge for over a year… Now, to my opinion, Publisher is pretty easy to switch to. Personally, I already left Adobe behind and even used Publisher to print two of my last books. Working right from scratch makes it easier to forget about InDesign. Of course, I don't need to work with older Adobe files (and even then, there's still Adobe on my older Mac).
Hi everyone, First of all I have to congratulate the team for the overall work and the hope it brings me to get ridd off Adobe's InDesign. Yet few glitches to polish, so good luck folks! Here my little problem (see joinded pictures). Text follows nicely from page to next, yet, when I delete the unused empty pages, a strange thing happens: The end of text has to be rebound with next one. But doing this, the existing text is like copied as an overprint on most of the work. It's semais it has some interference going on with the master page involved... Hope it helps. I remain at your service for more détails.
High folks, First of all: big applauses to the team that works on Publisher! I am really impressed ... and it is "only" a beta! I tried a compile of a 245 pages book, and everything worked out real well and smooth from a-z. One question: Exporting a facing paging creates a PDF with double pages. How can I order a rail of single faced ready for printing? I'm looking forward testing out Publisher even more through these next days and weeks. Cheers.
THANKS! mac_heibu + Fixx, Simple and straight: 245 pages clean as any QXpress or Indesign work. I'm sorry for the terms used in my messages: don't know those in english... Will see if Publisher supports french well in the future. Have a nice time all together.
Great anshwers folks! Thanks, I'll follow thèse and give you a back up soon.
Hello, Yes, but this affects the text and not the box itself (border). What about having the usual text within its own framed and/or shadowed ground (Without having to add an extra background that will bug on e-pub export). Picture: Illustrates the opposit of wished effect.
Hi folks, Maybe it makes sens with CookyMonster's question, and you'd be interested with my last experience. For this i tried out with both: Photo and Designer. I had to vectorize large texts in order to have a flag printed with the needed font: 1. I isolated the text and exported it as EPS. 2. I flatend the background with the logo. 3. I verified on my old Illustrator: the text showed up as vectorized. Sadly, I had to be fast and finished my job by exporting it as AI file from Illustrator, and I'll see tomorrow how the printer reacts on this partly Affinity tweaked result... But, definitely, this no "direct vectorization" is probably the biggest handicap for pros to get rid off the usual tools.
Hello, Finally got these freebies downloaded. They're all in my download file... what is the next step? How do I install those into Designer or Photo? Thanks in advance for your help.

Launch the latest Asian inspired, hawker-style market – HWKR. Positioned beneath A'Beckett Street's Eq. Tower, HWKR brings a unique dining experience to Melbourne. With four kitchens housing four local and international Asian food vendors at any time. First cabs off the rank include; MasterChef's Diana Chan and Reynold Poernomo, Hong Kong's Bread & Beast and the Melbourne-based Rice Paper Scissors, is testing its own new concept, Khao.
Our role was to create an atmosphere that reflected east Asian tradition with an edgy, contemporary feel.
Show diversity between HWKR and each individual restaurant, support the performers and speakers and create a "reveal room" inside the restaurant area to house a media-wall and an open photo booth. All completed within a 3 weeks turn-around period.
The audio-visual experience started on arrival where the HWKR logo shone with Japanese style neon lights. As you walk through, the sounds of a traditional Chinese market played from strategically positioned speakers and each restaurant had specially positioned lights that coincided with their branding.
The highlight of the night was the "reveal room". Using strategically positioned drapes, custom high-end projection mapping, a custom designed multi-media display wall and neon sound effects we created a room that made you feel like you're inside a champagne bottle! Complete with pink bubbles bouncing on the walls and representing the fun and frivolity of the event.
A queue of people wanting to experience the opening first hand were lining up down the street. The event had a huge impact, was covered by the best culture magazines and created a great platform for future success.

Styling thin hair is difficult as many hairstyles do not support texture and volume. Thin hair needs more volume and texture. Given below are four hairstyles that will guide you how to get the perfect hairstyles for thin hair. All you needs is a volumizing mousse, thickening spray and dry shampoo.
Curls are one the easiest ways to get volume. It hairstyle is ideal for casual look. Use thickening spray to get more volume.
• Prep damp hair with volumizing mousse.
• Blow dry uisng a round brush.
• Heat up a curling iron and create curls on the lengths.
• Make backcombing at the crown section.
This hairstyle is ideal for wider and square face structure. Thin to medium hair works well for this hairstyle.
Spiral curls with side swept are an amazing hairstyle that can be carried for formal events as well as for casual look. It is the best way to add volume to thin hair.
• Prep wet hair with hair mousse.
• Blow dry using paddle brush.
• Heat up a curling iron and create spiral curls on the lengths.
• Apply holding spray to carry the curls.
This hairstyle works on oval and round face structure. To get the spiral curls, divide the hair into sections and warp it section around the curling iron. Remove the curling iron without damaging the curls.

Q: C2011 'CMemDC':'class' type redefinition in Visual Studio 2019 First of all, I would like you to know that the code that I'm using are the same codes that can be found in GitHub. Second, I have tried various solutions online such as setting header blocks or placing #pragma once on top of the cpp file, but still produce the same errors to be mentioned below.
What I'm confused about is how this code is found in various repositories, but I can't build it using VS 2019.
My guess is that I need to install VS 2010 for this to build properly, but I'm considering it as a last resort to solve this problem.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

C2011 'CMemDC': 'class' type redefinition
'dc' uses undefined class 'CMemDC'
'initializing': cannot convert from 'CPaintDC*' to 'int'

A: The CMemDC class you're referencing originates in an old codeproject article, and predates the CMemDC class built into later versions of MFC. So there is a conflict because of the same named classes.
You certainly don't need to install an older Visual Studio to build the example, but you do need to somehow reconcile the conflict. Two ways of doing so are:

*

*Modify the example code and rename the CMemDC class to something else.

*Modify the example code and wrap up the unofficial class in a namespace.

e.g (2).
namespace CodeProject
{
    class CMemDc : public CDC
    {
    ...
    };
}

and qualify the ocurrence of it
CodeProject::CMemDC dc(&PaintDC);


Holland is a region in the western part of the Netherlands. The term Holland is also used to refer to the Netherlands. Read up on our stories of adventure in the Netherlands and learn more about this fascinating Dutch country.


Cool music and fun-loving videos have long been an integral part of my life. Whenever the fast-paced and hectic life seems to be getting stressful, I take the help of some of my all-time favorite tracks to take me out of strain. And when I wish to laugh my heart out, I go for hilarious videos.
There is one more thing I often try out—"coloring." Apart from filling my inner core with the abundance of peace, it re-energizes my ability to be creative and playful. About a week back, I got 4 Axis Solutions' "Colorgram Adult Coloring Book" to review. Having given it a try and explored all of its features, I came out impressed with the coloring app for iOS. So, what makes it an ideal de-stressor?
The app boasts the variety of vibrant colors to let you design your creativity to your heart's liking. Hence, you can give your imagination a realistic look.
The one thing I always want in abundance while coloring artwork is the availability of a lot of different colors. It not only offers me more options but also allows me to decorate my creativity perfectly.
I'm really glad that the app has got all sorts of colors to beautify any artwork.
Another notable feature which I have found in this coloring app for iPhone and iPad is the collection of over 20 excellent filters. With so many options available, you will love trying out multiple combinations to find out which one can win attention right from the onset.
To me, filters are a must have as they let you embellish your art elegantly. Whenever I want to add an X-factor to my art, I make sure to use the most suitable filter.
It's great to watch your creativity. And the app ensures you can view your masterpiece in style.
Once you have created a fine art, you can replay it in sequence. If you wish to add more spice to your art, you can add music to it as well. Even better, Colorgram lets you choose from multiple types of tunes to ensure you can pick the right one for your special art.
Colorgram also supports iMessage and Apple Watch. That means you can send your great arts to your friends and loved ones right from iMessage.
You can also use Colorgram Watch app to bring more fun into coloring.
Step #2. Make sure Books tab at the bottom is selected, if it's not already.
Next, choose the type of artwork you want to color. For instance, you have multiple types of options like Fashionable Girls, Festive Celebrations. In this test, I'm going to select Festive Celebrations.
Step #3. Check out the plethora of options through which you can wish your friend. Tap on the one you want to try your hands on.
Step #4. Next up, you need to select your favorite color and then tap on the spot where you wish to use that particular color. Make the most of the plenty of available colors and use them smartly to give your art the desired look.
You can use your two fingers to pan and rotate your artwork. To fill multiple areas quickly, just drag your finger along the artwork. To go forward or backward, tap on the respective arrow at the top center.
Step #5. Once you have created a fantastic artwork, tap on the play button at the bottom left corner.
Step #6. If you want to add music to your creativity, tap on the music button at the bottom right corner and then turn on the toggle next to Music. Then select a nice music.
Step #7. Once you are done, tap on right icon located at the top right corner and select the background.
Step #8. You can access/share saved artwork by tapping on My Artworks tab.
Beyond features and intuitive design, what has attracted me about this app is the ability to join a community of like-minded people to share and explore great arts. If you are someone who has a penchant for wonderful arts, you will love being part of the community.
This coloring app comes at $2.99 weekly along with one-week trial period. Its monthly subscription price is $7.99 monthly, while the yearly subscription price stands at $39.99.
The app is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch running iOS 10 or later. It's also available for Apple Watch.
Simply put, Colorgram is one of the most exceptional coloring apps for iOS. What has stood it in good stead is the well-thought-out interface, intuitive features and more importantly; the ability to make your fascination for designing something incredibly beautiful a great experience.
If you are someone who is looking for something worthwhile to bring out the creativity from you and also help you de-stress with ease, you shouldn't miss out on Colorgram.
Being said that, I would have loved there been a full-fledged free app (I mean without any time limitation). The premium version of the app is slightly on the expensive side of the fence. However, looking at the rich features the app boasts, it's worth having a go at it.
Let me know what you think of Colorgram and whether you'd like to use it.

Ah, summer. The season of lazy days and vacations. It's a shame the Canadian dollar is trapping us all in our own country this year, isn't it?
Or is it? Let's take this opportunity to hit the road, people! Our gas prices are down and our roads are wide open. Family road trips are one of my favourite things in the entire world. It's a great way to see the country and despite the rumours, it's also a genuinely fun way to bond with your family (when done right).
If you're in the greater Toronto area, you've got a perfect starting point for so many amazing road trips, it would be crazy not to take them this summer! Here are five amazing one-day road trips you need to take with your family this summer.
Approximate Driving Time: 1.5 hours With warm, shallow waters and a gloriously long, sandy beach, Cobourg is a vacation destination right here at home. Cobourg Beach, nestled in a small town with quaint shopping, a boardwalk for strolling, a snack bar and playground for kids, is a beautiful place to spend an afternoon.
Approximate Driving Time: 1 hour Torontonians have been missing out on the beauty of "The Hammer" for decades now. Home to more than 100 waterfalls and cascades, Hamilton is quickly becoming a hot destination. Most of the waterfalls and cascades are easily accessed by hiking along the Bruce Trail, which is gorgeous even on its own.
Located just north of Peterborough, Petroglyphs Provincial Park is home to the largest known collection of First Nations rock carvings (petroglyphs) in Ontario. The carvings are thought to have been made by Algonkian or Iroquian speaking people between 900 and 1100 A.D. For some beautiful pictures and explanations of the petroglyphs, visit Meandering Mac.
While there, you can learn about Ojibwe (Nishnaabe) traditions, and visit McGinnis Lake, one of the only meromictic lakes (meaning layers of water that don't mix) in Canada.
Approximate Driving Time: 1.5 hours A former limestone quarry turned swimming destination is the central attraction at Elora Gorge Conservation Area. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the view from the bottom of the quarry.
In summer, adventurers over 42" tall can also enjoy tubing down the river. Offering beautiful scenery along hiking trails, a small town full of shopping and restaurants, Elora is a wonderful day trip from the city.
Approximate Driving Time: 1.5 hours If farmer's markets, boutique shopping, regional cuisine, and antiquing is up your alley, St. Jacob's is for you. Home to Canada's largest farmer's market, St. Jacob's is a perfect escape. Fresh fruits, vegetables, baked goods – absolutely everything is available at the market! But if by some chance you can't find what you're looking for at the market, try the outlet shopping nearby. St. Jacob's is also home to many Old Order Mennonites, and horse-drawn carriage farm tours are also available.
Summer will be here before you know it, so get planning. I'll see you on the road!
I'll have to check that out, thanks for the recommendation!

Drake knocks off Missouri State 84-74
foxsports Jan 29, 2014 at 10:24p ET
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Richard Carter scored 23 points and Jordan Daniels added 22 as Drake's second half comeback topped Missouri State 84-74 on Wednesday.
Drake (12-9, 3-6 Missouri Valley) raced to a 13-4 lead, fueled by a pair of 3-pointers by Chris Caird. Missouri State (14-7, 4-5) came back to go up 30-29 with 3:13 in the first, but Drake countered to lead 38-35 at the break.
Missouri State went up five on Gavin Thurman's jumper with 7:21 left in the game. Drake coach Ray Giacoletti immediately called time, and his Bulldogs scored 15 of the next 17 points to wrest control of the game.
Drake shot 52 percent from the floor, including 14 of 24 from beyond the arc. Daniels had five 3-pointers, and Caird added 18 points, hitting 6 of 8 3-point attempts.
Austin Ruder led Missouri State with 20 points. Ron Mvouika added 13 points while Jarmar Gulley had 12.

Garth Newel Music Center's Summer Season continues this weekend
Garth Newel Music Center's Summer Season continues with concerts on Saturday, Aug. 23 at 5 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 24 at 3 p.m.
Morphoses / The Wheeldon Company
Saturday afternoon's activities begin at 4 p.m. with a Musical Icebreaker discussion and mini-performance by National Symphony Orchestra double bassist Paul DeNola, who will share the ups and downs of life at the bottom (of an orchestra). He'll also perform the devilishly difficult and quite funny solo piece Failing: A Very Difficult Piece for Solo String Bass by American composer Tom Johnson. In the piece, the soloist is required to read a text about the difficulties inherent in playing the double bass while reading a text about playing the double bass.
German author Patrick Süskind's influential monologue The Double Bass begins the 5 p.m. concert. Conceived as a one person theater piece, it incorporates both spoken word and musical excerpts from Schubert's Trout quintet, the Overture to Mozart's Marriage of Figaro, von Dittersdorf's Double Bass Concerto, Brahms' Second Symphony and Wagner's Die Walkurie, all performed at the piano by actor/pianist and longtime Garth Newel Music Center friend Read Gainsford.
Shortly after its premier in Germany in 1981, the work was translated into English and eventually into over 35 languages. In the 1984-85 season it was performed over 500 times worldwide and it has been performed thousands of times since, to great acclaim.
After intermission, the Garth Newel Piano Quartet's Teresa Ling (violin), Evelyn Grau (viola) and Isaac Melamed (cello) will join pianist Gainsford and bassist DeNola in performance of Schubert's much loved "Trout" Quintet, one of the grandest and most beloved works in the chamber music repertoire.
Sunday's concert offers a dramatic contrast to Saturdays, featuring dancers/choreographers Gabrielle Lamb, Giorgia Bovo and Forrest Hersey performing original choreography in collaboration with the Garth Newel Music Center's musical artists and their colleagues.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Oboe Quartet in F Major, K370 will be accompanied by a trio of dancers in a newly choreographed piece by Adam Barruch. As a choreographer, Adam's work has been presented at venues such as Dance Theater Workshop (NYLA), City Center, NYU/ Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, The Juilliard School, The Ailey-Citigroup Theater, SUNY Purchase, New York University, Cedar Lake Theater and Theatre Usine C in Montreal. In March 2009, he self-produced his first full evening of original dance/theater works at The Baryshnikov Arts Center and in 2014 he was honored with the Lotos Foundation Prize in the Arts and Sciences, which recognizes institutions and individuals for distinguished accomplishments and exceptional talent in the arts and sciences.
Johannes Brahm's 1891 Trio in A Minor, Op. 114 for Clarinet, Cello and Piano concludes the first half of the Sunday program. Performed by clarinetist Richard Faria, cellist Isaac Melamed, and pianist Read Gainsford, the work is one of only a very few works composed for unusual combination of instruments.
Sunday's concert concludes with Sergei Prokofiev's Quintet in G Minor, Op. 39 for oboe, clarinet, violin, viola and double bass. In essence, the work is a 25 minute long, six movement suite that evolved out of his 1924 ballet Trapeze.
Scored for a rather unusual combination of instruments and a small dance corps, the work is now most often performed as a concert suite, rather than as movements from a ballet. Choreographer and dancer Gabrielle Lamb has taken on the challenge of reinterpreting this work and re-introducing the dance elements to it.
Garth Newel concert tickets are available for purchase now. Group discounts for groups of 10 or more are available as are ten-concert passes. Full program and guest artist materials are available on the Music Center website – www.garthnewel.org.

GVT presents 'Stand By Your Man: The Tammy Wynette Story'
Pocahontas County Opera House welcomes back Black Mountain Bluegrass Boys


Kev's third album 'Appeals For The Lonely' to be released on 28/9/18.
The album features Steve Pellatt on drums and appearances from Joanna Byrne (vocals & guitar), Lewis Dickinson (saxophone & Flute), vocal duo Kate Ferris & Emma Perry as well as Kev's daughter Lily (tenor horn) and wife Sam (percussion).
'Appeals For The Lonely' will be available here the day before release and will be available from iTunes, Spotify, Amazon and all other major download sites.
How long have you been working on your latest project 'Appeals for the Lonely'?
Kev Scott: Well, I started recording in spring 2017, so its been a long time in the making, which doesn't reflect well on the album because the reasons for it taking so long to make are purely time and equipment based! My trusted guitar amp broke and it was one of those things where nobody knew what what was wrong with it and how to fix it so I was without that for more than 6 months, that really slowed me down.
Who or what influenced the birth of this project?
Kev Scott: Just a natural progression really, I enjoyed the whole process of making my last album 'The Loved Ones' so i was keen to jump straight in to making another album, though I knew it would be under slightly different circumstances, I knew Chris Holland (bass player and co producer on 'The Loved Ones') wouldn't be around as much because he was going travelling and he put so much into the last album that I found it a bit daunting without him but it was something I had to just get on with.
Which musicians are you collaborating with this time around?
Kev Scott: Aside from Steve Pellatt on drums I did the majority of it myself, I did all the guitars, keys and bass and then had Lewis Dickinson on sax and flute, he's an amazing musician, he doesn't mess around when we're recording, real one take stuff! Then there's the singers, I've played with Joanna Byrne for a few years now, she's sang on all 3 of my albums, we get on great, there's a great chemistry in our voices and we really gel. We recorded 'For Brothers & Sisters' as a charity single for Manchester childrens hospital when there was some sad news about a friend of mine but it was going to be on the album anyway. Jo then got involved in 'Beautiful Winter', she's a huge Beach Boys fan and that's the kind of sound I was looking for for that song, she also played her 12 string guitar on it which gave it some warmth and low end.
I've tried a few times to create a huge choir but it's easier said than done, I've known Kate Ferris most of my life and we have family ties, when I saw she was out there with Emma Perry performing I asked then to get involved, I was blown away by the end of the session, the song wouldn't have been then same without them.
Which instruments are you playing on the album?
Kev Scott: I tracked the bass in the studio when Steve (Pellatt) did his drums, I did all the guitars, piano, organ, harmonica and banjo.
Apparently you also produced the album. Is this a new experience for you, and is there a specific reason you wanted to produce it yourself?
Kev Scott: I co-produced my last album with Chris (Holland) but as I said earlier he wasn't going to be around so I decided to do it alone. I want to learn as much as I can about the whole process of making albums. I paid someone to produce my first album and although I wasn't unhappy with the finished product, I felt quite frustrated. It's a communication thing, they want to please you, you don't want to be a pain in the arse, throughout the process, I think we both did our best to be fair and it was a relief for us both to get it finished, so from then on I said that I'd prefer to learn how to produce and mix myself. Nobody to answer to, learn by my own mistakes and if I get things wrong, I've only got myself to blame.
Do you currently have a preferred song on the album, and if so, why is it special to you?
Kev Scott: I think 'Dust' is the one for me, it's an old one written by Steve and we played it in our old band 'Nula' around 2003, the only studio recording we did was an acoustic version with him playing guitar and me singing so it was nice to get a full version of it for this album.
Which usually comes first to you – the melody or the lyrics?
Kev Scott: Usually its lyrics, or just lines that I'll develop once I get the sense that a song is brewing, I never sit down and force a song to come out, it's never produced a good result so I tend to just wait until I know one is about to come. I'll play around on the guitar or piano and something will magically come out at some point and then it's a case of putting the pieces together.
What key ingredients do you always try and infuse into your songs, regardless of style, tempo or mood?
Kev Scott: There really isn't a recipe to be honest, I stick to what I feel the song needs, if it's a happy song it gets a happy vibe and it goes from there, as long as it's honest and passionate, that matters more than having any kind of key ingredient, it's a natural thing.
This is your third album. How much do you think you've matured as a musician and songwriter? And where do you feel you still have room for improvement?
I'll always look to improve on whatever I'm doing really.
What do you feel was the most difficult aspects in regards to the recording and completion of this album?
Kev Scott: The whole thing was difficult and if I'm honest I wasn't happy through the whole thing, I came close to binning it near the end. The thing is, with 'The Loved Ones', myself, Steve, Chris and another friend (John Banks, lead guitar) worked on the whole thing together, I wrote the songs, made full band demos which they put they're own parts over, then we went into the studio and rehearsed it so by the time we started recording it we were really tight and it sounded like a band which is what I wanted. With 'Appeals For The Lonely', Chris wasn't around and I think Steve listened to the demos once before we put his drums down, which to his credit he pulled off. So the process didn't start well and then it was all down to me and I felt lonely working on it by myself without anybody to bounce ideas off. I guess I got there in the end but it really wasn't a happy experience and I've learned a lesson there.
Listening to 'Appeals for the Lonely' now, would go back and change anything on the album, or do you feel that it came out exactly as you wanted it to?
Kev Scott: Haha! See above! I'm happier with other musicians around me!
Kev Scott: I'm really proud of making 3 albums in 4 years. I'm proud of how much I've leaned from the first album to now, id like a crack at remixing that album.
A great high was having my song 'Hotel K' from my first album featured on the author Kathryn Bonella's website. I read her book about the Kerobokan prison in Bali (nicknamed Hotel K) and was inspired to write the song. Once it was finished I contacted Kathryn to see if she would be interested in hearing it and she loved it so much that it was used on her website to support the follow up book 'Snowing in Bali'.
Kev Scott: It's such a hard industry and with my family and work commitments I know it would be a miracle to be signed and have everything that goes with that. I'm lucky that I've found a place in my life where I can still make music and get it out there. So nothing discourages me because I'm happy with what I do, I know I'm not going to be playing stadiums or doing big tours but I accept that for what it is and just make the most of it. As long as people here my music I'm happy.
Kev Scott: I suppose a little more help for independent artists to get recognition by the bigger companies.
Kev Scott: Deep, soulful emotional and a little bit of a rollercoaster. Jason Pierce meets Neil Young! Good luck with that!
Kev Scott: I think it's great! The unfortunate thing is that you don't get any money back from it coz of things like Apple Music, Spotify etc. It gets your music out there though if you're willing to put the work into promoting yourself.
Could you tell us something about your involvement with the band 'Blanket' – recently signed to Sony?
Kev Scott: Well I wouldn't say I have an involvement with them as such but Steve (Pellatt, drummer for Blanket) and I are very close, we've been playing and making music together for over 20 years, we've got a great telepathy kind of thing going on where he seems to know what I want when he's playing on my stuff, it's a natural thing from growing up together but it's always been like that from making demos in his garage when we were 14 to making studio albums now. I'm proud of how he's worked at being a full time musician, it comes with a sacrifice and its paying off for him.
Simon (Morgan, guitars for Blanket) owned a studio in Blackpool and when me and Steve formed Nula back in2002 Si recorded the 2 ep's we made while the band was together.
Kev Scott: We made a video for a song on my last album, a song called 'Helpless (cryin' out). https://youtu.be/hIlGMrBTz8U Making that video was a great experience, I got in touch with a friend from school who now works on TV, she's been on coronation street, emmerdale, casualty, all that kind of stuff and she brought a real professional side to the video, how she got into the character and how it came across in the end. I was really pleased. So yeah, video is great but it's hard to make one that stands up to being a piece of art. I've done a couple that are kind of the cliche live band performance videos, they're good to watch if you're not expecting anything great!
Kev Scott: I've found my comfort zone in recording, it's what I enjoy, I want to play live but at the moment I can only play my stuff solo, I'd really like to get a band together to perform my stuff, I'm sure it could happen but it needs to be with the right players, I'm not being a diva when i say that, it just needs to be people I trust, if Steve and Chris had time in their schedule and we had something to aim for, we'd do it and it would be brilliant!
What's next on the upcoming agenda for Kev Scott in 2018?
Kev Scott: Well I have 12 songs ready for my next album and have demos ready. I'm going back to the band thing where I'm more comfortable and feel part of something, I'm hoping to get a few new songs while we're at it, I'm working on one right now, if more come, that will be great but I'm buzzing at the prospect of recording the ones that are already done, Steve's already played on the demos, it's exciting and I'm really into the new songs. I've just moved house so I'm in the process of building a studio where we can make things happen.

Area's horse riders urged to report dangerous driving
Geograph / Creative commons
Published 2 years ago | Updated 2 years ago
Selebian News reports
An operation to safeguard vulnerable road users will help protect horses and their riders in North Yorkshire.
Police are urging horse riders to report details of any dangerous or anti-social driving they have witnessed, as part of its Operation Spartan programme.
Spartan encourages members of the public to submit intelligence regarding poor driving and anti-social use of vehicles, via a driving concern form on the North Yorkshire Police website. The form captures the details of the incident, and requests information such as vehicle registrations, so police can carry out relevant checks and follow up with engagement or enforcement if required.
Motorists are being urged to follow four simple steps when passing horses:
1. Slow down to 15mph
2. Be patient, don't sound your horn or rev your engine
3. Pass wide (at least a car's width)
4. Drive slowly away
In the last five years, there have been more than 167 road incidents involving horses in Yorkshire reported to the British Horse Society, causing the death of two riders and nine horses.
PC Hannah McPeake, of North Yorkshire Police's Rural Taskforce, said: "Vehicles being driven too close or too fast past horses is a major concern for North Yorkshire's equestrian community. Although rare, collisions can result in very serious injuries, and even near-misses can leave both horse and rider shaken and too frightened to ride on the roads again.
"That's why we are urging riders to report instances of poor driving they witness, so we can take any necessary steps to increase the safety of horses on North Yorkshire's roads."
Inspector Dave Barf, of North Yorkshire Police's Roads Policing Group, said: "If anyone witnesses driving behaviour which causes concern – such as vehicles passing horses too close, or too fast – I would urge them to report it to us via the online form.
"Every report and piece of footage that is submitted is assessed by experienced traffic officers, and appropriate action taken. This may be the registered owner of the vehicle is contacted by letter to suggest that their driving behaviour be amended to avert possible future collisions. More serious reports may involve a personal visit by police and could ultimately result in prosecution.
"If the anti-social driving behaviour results in an emergency or immediate risk, please use either 999 or 101."
Last month, the first driver was prosecuted as a direct result of a member of the public reporting dangerous driving on the A19 via the Op Spartan online form. A motorist received a 12-week prison sentence, suspended for one year and was handed a 20-month driving ban. He was also ordered to pay £170 in costs, complete 250 hours of unpaid work and after serving his driving ban has to face an extended driving test.
In July 2016, North Yorkshire Police signed up to the British Horse Society's Dead Slow campaign, which urges drivers to slow down to 15mph when they meet a horse and rider on the road. Posters highlighting the safety message have been distributed across North Yorkshire.
The Op Spartan driving concern form is available at www.northyorkshire.police.uk/what-we-do/road-policing/operation-spartan/
Updates from Operation Spartan are published on Twitter @NYPOpSpartan
As well as backing Spartan, North Yorkshire Police's Horse Watch scheme provides security advice and warnings to help equestrians protect their tack and stay safe. To find out more, follow @NYP_HorseWatch on Twitter, or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/nyphorsewatch

Technology-delivered intervention fosters home-school partnerships in rural Appalachia
February 23, 2021 · 3 min read
by Chuck Green | CYFS
Nebraska researchers recently tested the effectiveness of an intervention known as TAPP when delivered via technology to help rural students struggling with significant behavioral problems.
Although rural America affords children notable opportunities, those same sparsely populated areas can also pose unique challenges.
Relative to their urban counterparts, children in rural communities are more likely to face academic, behavioral and mental health obstacles, such as anxiety or depression.
Distance technology offers a solution for rural communities that lack the specialized staff and infrastructure needed to support students and families who are struggling.
Amanda Witte, a research assistant professor with the Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families and Schools, recently led a project to address rural children's behavioral and mental health needs using a process known as Teachers and Parents as Partners. Witte has been involved with program for years, but had never tested its remote-delivery effectiveness.
Teachers and Parents as Partners is a problem-solving and decision-making intervention developed by Susan Sheridan, director of the Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families and Schools and other Nebraska researchers that builds on student strengths and fosters collaboration among parents and teachers to enhance students' academic, behavioral and social outcomes.
Funded by an Office of Research and Economic Development Layman Award, Witte designed her study to assess the efficacy, feasibility and acceptability of TAPP delivered via distance technology for rural students struggling with significant behavioral problems — a necessary next step to ensure access to sustainable and efficient support for rural children, especially on the heels of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Witte's research found remote-delivered TAPP reduced rural children's off-task behaviors at school, and that disruptive behavior at home decreased. There were also improvements in parent-teacher relationships and home-school partnerships.
The project included three students — a kindergartner, first-grader and second-grader — and their parents and teachers in rural Appalachia. Witte recruited participants with the help of research partners at East Tennessee State University.
"Although remote-delivered interventions are useful for anyone, we figured they would be particularly beneficial to rural communities where there may not be an expert consultant available, or where travel to the location can be especially burdensome," Witte said.
Rachel Schumacher, graduate research assistant, delivered the intervention via Zoom videoconferencing with parents and teachers at the schools, and maintained communication throughout the project with emails and text messages.
"Prior to the intervention, the home-school partnership was strained for a couple of the children," Witte said. "But after the intervention, the amount of trust and cooperation between home and school increased."
The rural parents and teachers rated their TAPP experience via distance technology as high or higher than some of the intervention's in-person studies, and rated it acceptable and feasible overall.
In previous rural TAPP projects, Witte said, some schools had difficulty sustaining the intervention — not because educators didn't like it, but because they struggled to identify trained staff who were able to continue the process.
"While there is evidence that remote-delivered TAPP works, more research is needed to ensure other schools using it will have a high probability of success," she said.
Witte plans to use the study's data to expand research into large-scale educational interventions. She recently applied for a grant from the Institute of Education Sciences to develop the same intervention on a wider scale.

There are some people who leave impressions not so lasting
as the imprint of an oar upon the water.
For example: breath. For example: a father.
Or dawn chewing up fireflies, raking the stars
down to campfire ash. The child you'll spend longer
grieving than raising, the sea's
clumsy mirror, the churchlessness of raw earth.
For example: that inevitable
first footprint sunk into the riverclay of an un-
mapped country. Heaven or hell or just another
Sunday wandering the wild outskirts of a fenceless
field. How everything is entirely unknowable
until ripped from the earth & tasted. Spit back, sometimes
swallowed. I'm done trying to breathe
life back into imaginary dead things. My hands, for example.
How much more you must have expected from them.

The Best Online Master's in Journalism Programs
Summary of work: More than 44 hours of research. Every online Master in Journalism program in the US analyzed. 22 industry experts, hiring managers, current students, and alumni consulted. 12 of the best programs identified.
Best Online Master's in Journalism Programs
Journalists research and write news, features, and opinions that cover current and critical events. Due to the gravity of these events, journalists must be well trained in clear communication and the ethics of reporting. With the rise of digital publications and social media, journalists also have the responsibility of ensuring that the public receives trustworthy content that speaks to social, cultural, and political reality. To develop the skills necessary to do so, many pursue master's degrees.
Graduate programs offer advanced coursework in the fundamentals of contemporary reporting. Courses include multi-platform journalism, ethics, and media management. Students can also specialize in specific fields including politics, environmental policy, and media. No matter what topic a student chooses, they can feel confident they are receiving the latest instruction in how to provide essential information in a manner that will engage audiences.
WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH A MASTER'S IN JOURNALISM?
Most graduates become journalists or produce content and media for publications. Specializing in specific fields can also open opportunities in niche fields such as video game and sports journalism.
CAN I GET A MASTER'S IN JOURNALISM ONLINE?
Yes, online programs are now widespread and common. The key is to make sure your program is accredited.
HOW DO I GET A MASTER'S IN JOURNALISM?
The specific requirements will depend on the school and program, but most list requirements on department websites. In any case, you'll likely need a minimum GPA, letters of recommendation, and a sufficient GRE score.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET A MASTER'S IN JOURNALISM?
It takes about 2 years to get an online master's degree in journalism. Students can complete programs faster if they take more courses.
HOW WELL ACCEPTED ARE ONLINE JOURNALISM DEGREES?
Online degrees no longer carry the stigma they did. Many employers and universities recognize and respect online degrees.
Reliable journalism is more important than ever.
