Архиепархия Фучжоу (,  中文:福州) — архиепархия Римско-Католической Церкви с центром в городе Фучжоу, Китай. В архиепархию Фучжоу входят епархии Фунина, Тинчжоу, Сямыня.

История
15 октября 1696 года Римский папа Иннокентий XII издал бреве «E sublimi Sedis», которой учредил апостольский викариат Фуцзяня, выделив его из епархии Нанкина (сегодня — Архиепархия Нанкина).

3 октября 1883 года апостольский викариат Фуцзяня передал часть своей территория для образования апостольского викариата Амоя (сегодня — Епархия Сямыня) и в этот же день был переименован в апостольский викариат Фокиена.

27 декабря 1923 года апостольский викариат Фокиена передал часть своей территории для образования новым апостольского викариата Фунинфу (сегодня — Епархия Фунина) и апостольской префектуре Тинчжоу (сегодня — Епархия Тинчжоу) и в этот же день был переименован в апостольский викариат Фучжоу.

18 июля 1929 года и 6 мая 1931 года апостольский викарита Фучжоу передал часть своей территории для образования миссий sui iuris Шаоу (сегодня — Апостольская префектура Шаоу) и Цзянинфу (сегодня — Апостольская префектура Цзяньоу).

11 апреля 1946 года апостольский викариат Фучжоу был преобразован в архиепархию Фучжоу.

Apple is attempting to do damage control over the flurry of negative comments on the company's new version of Final Cut Pro X video editing software. Apple posted a FAQ on its site that aims to address some of the concerns customers have raised so far, including a couple of straightforward "no" answers.
Final Cut Pro X was introduced last week as a major update to Apple's professional video editing suite, exclusively through the Mac App Store, for $299 (instead of the old suite price of $799). The new version introduced important changes in the way the software handles, ingests, encodes and manages video production workflow, among other features.
But video editors and other users did not take well to Apple's self-declared "jaw-dropping" updates. Negative reviews and one-star ratings started pouring in the Mac App Store (which Apple allegedly tried to remove), and even Conan O'Brien ripped into Apple's Final Cut Pro X on his show.
In answer "to the most common questions we've heard," Apple addressed the elephant in the room: Can I import projects from Final Cut Pro 7 into Final Cut Pro X? "There is no way to 'translate' or bring in old projects without changing or losing data," says the Final Cut Pro X FAQ.
Apple is promising to add more features to the next iteration of Final Cut Pro, by saying "not yet." These include exporting XML from Final Cut Pro X, and support for OMF, AAF, and EDL exchange formats. Multicam editing is also on its way, "and we will provide great multicam support in the next major release," Apple said.
For now, users unhappy with the new Final Cut Pro X are reportedly receiving refunds for their Mac App Store purchase (though the refunds are only on request). The alternative is to keep on using Final Cut Pro 7 until Apple updates the software, or jump ship to Adobe, which is welcoming Final Cur Pro users with open arms.

Judy Chamberlain Review
by Scott Yanow
Imagine starting a song without counting off the tempo or even telling one's sidemen the name of the tune. Jazz singer/bandleader Judy Chamberlain, who has mastered the art of mesmerizing both the audience and her own band, does that regularly with her group without a moment's hesitation. The results are both spontaneous and memorable.
A New York City native who spent her childhood shuttling between homes in Manhattan and Connecticut, Chamberlain has had careers along the way as a radio/TV commentator and lifestyle columnist but always sang, becoming a professional when she was 13. After moving to southern California in 1980, she established herself as a popular performer whose 4,000-song repertoire ranges from the Great American Songbook to swing and vintage rock & roll. She also oversees the extensive jazz program at the famed Spazio in Los Angeles, produces a noteworthy annual summer concert series in the courtyard of the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, and serves as artistic director for the KKJZ Los Angeles International Jazz Festival.
Judy Chamberlain, who maintains a busy performance schedule putting on critically acclaimed and highly entertaining shows including her own unique "Swinging Jazz Salute to Frank Sinatra," has thus far recorded one CD, Road Trip.

I guess while L.T. is in the news for some suspect behavior it's a perfect time to mention the XBLA and PSN game, Tecmo Bowl: Throwback. For those of you born in the 70's and early 80's, the Tecmo Bowl football game was the end all be all football video game of that era. Who doesn't remember picking L.A., and running Bo Jackson right and Marcus Allen left for an automatic score, or picking San Francisco and dropping Joe Montana back to your own end zone and throwing a long bomb to your lone receiver, because the game's A.I. was special. Not to mention the flip-book style touchdown celebrations, classic.
Well, a whole new generation of gamers and maybe some of us gaming geezers can get a taste of the nostalgic Tecmo Bowl football again. Tecmo Bowl: Throwback debuted this week, and stays very true to the original Super Tecmo Bowl for the SNES. Unfortunately, Tecmo no longer has the NFL license, so all of the teams are fictional, but the gameplay is identical to the 1993 version. You even have the option of viewing the game with the old-school graphics it was made with, or for those who don't like retro, you can view them with a modern skin. Take a look at what I mean below.

Order of the National Green Tribunal regarding forest land encroachment in Mehrauli, Delhi, 09/11/2020
Order of the National Green Tribunal in the matter of Dr. Amarjit Singh Nalwa & Others Vs The State of NCT Delhi & Others dated 09/11/2020. The issue for consideration is remedial action against failure to remove encroachment from forest land inspite of order of the NGT December 11, 2015 at certain locations in South Delhi.
The matter has been earlier considered in the light of the status reports filed by the Deputy Commissioner, South District, Delhi Government. The status report shows that there are about 5000 encroachers and 750-800 structures set up illegally over a period of time at one camp and about 3000 encroachers are living at another camp in Mehrauli. Huge forest land has been encroached.
The NGT said that while removing such encroachment is a challenge but "if the Rule of Law is not to be enforced, we will have lawless society". The court said that forest laws can be defeated by allowing encroachments and then the authorities pleading helplessness in enforcing the law. The NGT directed that further action be taken according to law and status report as on March 31, 2021 must be filed before April 19, 2021.

David Yonggi Cho, founder of South Korea's Yoido Full Gospel Church, has been sentenced to three years in prison for embezzling $12 million in church funds, Christianity Today reported on Monday.
Allegations arose in November of last year when 30 church elders held a press conference accusing Cho and his family of stealing millions in church donations dating back to the 1990s. The elders enumerated multiple instances of Cho's dishonesty that involved him borrowing and never returning funds, acquiring enormous church donations without disclosing what they were being used toward and even taking an $18 million severance pay when he stepped down as head pastor in 2008.
One former church elder, Ha Sang-ok, was present at the press conference and urged Cho to come forward.
On February 21, Seoul Central Court found Cho guilty of embezzlement from encouraging church officials in 2002 to buy stock owned by his son at four times the market value, according to Yonhap News Agency. In addition to spending three years in prison, Cho will pay $4.6 million in fines as part of his sentence, though if the church elders were right this is still just a fraction of the total funds he stole.
This is not the first time Cho has been involved in scandal. In 2011, church elders accused the pastor of embezzling $20 million and privatizing church assets.
Yoido Full Gospel Church is an Assemblies of God-affiliated congregation and has grown exponentially since 1958 when Cho founded it. The church draws hundreds of thousands of worshippers to every service, according to PBS, making it the largest megachurch in the world.
Pastor Cho is one of the most revered evangelists in Korea. He was a Buddhist until he rejected his religion when he was near death from tuberculosis. He says that's when Jesus Christ appeared to him in the middle of the night and told him to preach the gospel. So he did. When the country was suffering in poverty and desperation after the Korean War, he preached the gospel of hope through prayer.
CORRECTION: A previous version of the article misspelled Yonhap News Agency as Yohap.

Why Our Kensington Personal Injury Lawyers Love Urban Axes
The Kensington area has been undergoing something of a rebirth over the past several years, with all kinds of interesting new businesses opening up in the neighborhood. One of our favorite recent additions is Urban Axes, which is a nationwide chain that chose to make their Philadelphia location in Kensington. It's what it sounds like - you have the chance to throw axes at targets in the middle of the city. This makes for a great group activity when you and your friends are looking for a fun night out. It's also a great choice for a team-building exercise at work or a fun and unusual date night.
What is Axe Throwing?
Axe throwing is an indoor sport that first gained popularity in Canada. It's been growing in popularity there for the past decade and has recently started to become popular south of the border, here in the United States.
The game is similar to darts. You throw hatches at wooden targets that have bullseyes. Like darts, you get points based on where your axe lands on the board.
Ways to Play at Urban Axes
Urban Axes offers three different ways to participate in the axe-throwing action:
Urban Axes offers special group events for groups of 6 to 24 people. These events last for 2.5 hours. In our opinion, this is the most fun way to experience Urban Axes. This is what you want if you're looking to host a birthday party, team-building exercise, bachelor/bachelorette party, reunion, or a fun night out on the town with a group of friends. These are organized in a tournament format and include safety and instruction from an expert staff member before the start of the tournament. Group events must be booked in advance.
8-Week Leagues
If you're really looking to build your skills as an axe thrower, consider signing up for an 8-week league. This is a great way to meet new people if you're new to the city. There is no need to find a team to compete with - you'll build bonds with other participants as you compete over the course of the season.
If you're just a little curious about axe-throwing but not quite ready to commit to a full group outing, you can check out Urban Axe during their walk-in hours. They offer set times where you can participate in an hour-long walk-in session. Staff will give you pointers and help you improve your game.

Brand Launch
Fountainhead MKTG Gives Volkswagen Passat a Chic and Stylish Launch
by EVENTFAQS Bureau Marketing | December 6, 2017 | News
Fountainhead MKTG Volkswagen
Volkswagen Passat, the car for the next generation is here and with a bang. The technologically upgraded automobile was launched on October 10, 2017 at JW Marriott Hotel, Aerocity in New Delhi. With parking assistance, LED headlamps, sensory easy open boot option and a 365-degree area view, Passat has created quite a stir in the automobile market of the country.
The grand launch was managed by Fountainhead MKTG, now part of Dentsu Aegis Network. The event was smartly curated and designed, keeping in mind the taste and class of the automobile itself. The team at Fountainhead MKTG approached the event with dynamic aesthetics and projected audio-visual sequencing to bring to the audience the car of the future.
The event was further designed by installing an infinity panel, which attracted the viewers in an unending loop of innovation and growth. Beside the infinity panel, two other panels were installed with words describing the car. The panel in the center came into motion during the launch of the car, giving the attendees an insight into the boundlessness of growing technology.
The entire look and feel of the registration area was designed so that the gathering was encouraged to be a part of the ever-expanding loop of technological transformation. The pre-function area also had six large panels with Passat spelled out in each of them. These panels acted as a veil, concealing the cars before the launch.
The attendees entered through a semi-transparent wall of suspended particles, with #FeelThePresence projected at the entry. The entire setup of the launch, including the graphics that were used, was smart and chic.
The event design was based on new-age features and reflected the car's characteristics as well. Kamal Basu, Head of Marketing, Volkswagen Passenger Cars, introduced the launch to the 200 media personnel attending the event, by initiating a fashion show. The designs in the show were inspired by technology and had captivating elements, like clothes that change colour with each mood. Post the fashion show and before the unveiling of the cars, a launch AV was aired.
The Volkswagen Passat launch effectively met the challenge of staying true to the product strategy, bearing the key points and delivering on the brief. Adding to the success of the same, Pankaj Agarwal, Chief Manager, Dealer Marketing and Events, Volkswagen, commented, "It has been an absolute delight working with Fountainhead MKTG. Their approach towards the entire event from the very beginning was creative and well planned. The design, content and set up was impeccable. All the best to the team and we look forward to more of such associations."
The team at Fountainhead MKTG approached the event with dynamic aesthetics and projected audio-visual sequencing to bring to the audience the car of the future.

The following instructions are designed to assist you in migrating mail from Zimbra.
You will need the credentials (username and password) of an admin account within Zimbra.
No extra configuration is required for migration from Zimbra servers. You must have credentials for an administrative user for the Zimbra system, or a domain administrator if migrating items from a specific domain within a multi-domain environment.
In order to read user lists from the system, a full system administrator account is required. To set a user as a global administrator.
If you are using a Network hosted install of Zimbra, please consult your administrator for the details of the Zimbra admin account.
Select the Zimbra configuration item.
Choose Zimbra as the migration source and enter your Zimbra settings into CloudMigrator and then click next.
Server Address - The hostname or IP address of the Zimbra server.
REST Connection Protocol - Choose whether to use a secure, HTTPS encrypted connection, or a default unsecure HTTP connection for REST requests.
SOAP Connection Protocol - Choose whether to use a secure, HTTPS encrypted connection, or a default unsecure HTTP connection for SOAP requests.
REST Port - The port number on which REST requests are made to the Zimbra server. This is usually the same port on which your Zimbra web access runs.
SOAP Port - The port number on which SOAP requests are made to the Zimbra server. This is usually the same port as the administrative web interface for Zimbra.
Admin Username - The username of an administrator account with full rights on your Scalix server.
Admin Password - The password of the specified admistrator account.
Test Username - Specify the full email address of a user within the system, this must be a real user and must be the primary email address; not an alias.
Domain - Specify the domain that you wish to migrate users from. Leave empty if you do not wish to limit migration to a single domain and would like to migrate users from all domains.
Most Zimbra servers listen for REST requests on the same port used for web access. When in doubt, try the default HTTPS port (443) or failing that the default HTTP port (80).
Similarly, the SOAP port is usually the same port as the admin web interface which defaults to 7071.
At this point you can choose what to migrate for each user, when migrating from Zimbra you can migrate mail , contacts , calendars and tasks .
While the default options are recommended for the majority of users, CloudMigrator gives users the ability to customise their migration experience. The following are the advanced options available to those migrating from Zimbra.
Migrate All Group Members - Migrate all personal contact group members, even if they are not in the user's personal address books. This may create contacts that are from the GAL or inline group members when they are part of contact groups, but not present in the user's personal address books.
Migrate Incoming Shared Folders - Set this to true to migrate folders that have been shared with the user being migrated. This can result in data duplicated between accounts, and is generally not recommended.
Categories - Migrate categories from Zimbra to labels or categories. Supported only on Zimbra 7 and above.
Use Metadata Date - Use metadata from Zimbra to determine the email date. Useful in the case of non-RFC822 date email headers.
Trace SOAP Requests - Trace SOAP requests and responses to the trace files. This is only applicable when the overall trace level is set to 'Trace'. Used for debugging, do not enable for normal migrations.
Trace iCal Requests - Trace REST requests and responses to the trace files. This is only applicable when the overall trace level is set to 'Trace'. Used for debugging, do not enable for normal migrations.
Unavailable Wait - If a Zimbra server is placed under too much load, the server may respond with '503 Unavailable' messages. Clients must back-off at that point or the server will continuously report 503. Specify the delay that will be applied if the server responds with 503.
Direct Mailbox Connection - Use a direct connection the mailbox server for each user rather than connecting through the main proxy address.

Today at the Proms - Day 7
Continuing our daily coverage of what's on at The Proms 2021, Susan Omand takes a quick look at today's Prom...
This Prom will be televised on BBC Four and available on iPlayer
Today's prom is, for me, very much a Prom of two halves.
The first two pieces are going to be fascinating to listen to. Ruth Gipps studied at the Royal College of Music in London, where her Composition tutor was none other than Ralph Vaughan Williams, and she was the the youngest British woman to receive a doctorate in music at the age of 26. She was no stranger to the Proms either, with Sir Henry Wood himself conducting her tone poem Knight in Armour at the Last Night of the Proms in 1942, however her symphonies remain her most acclaimed work.
I'm also keen to hear the London premiere of a new(ish) work by Thomas Adès. I say new(ish) because the Symphony is based on his opera from 5 years ago of the same name which, in turn, was based on a 1962 Mexican supernatural surrealist film, written and directed by Luis Buñuel. So it should be interesting to say the least.
The post-interval offering, by stark contrast, is the stolidly classical Brahms' Symphony No 3, the third movement of which you may recognise from various films, songs, TV shows etc - it's even sampled in the game Civilisation IV, as we enter "the Industrial Era".
Here's the full programme for today's Proms which you can listen to live on Radio 3 or on the iPlayer
Ruth Gipps
Symphony No. 2 in B major (21 mins)

The Exterminating Angel Symphony (20 mins) London premiere

Best Buy Ends Sales Of Unlocked iPhone 8 And iPhone X Following Public Backlash Over $100 Premium
Best Buy did not earn itself any brownie points by overcharging customers for Apple's newly minted iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X handsets, each of which carried a $100 premium for the privilege of buying one from the electronics chain instead of direct from Apple, and its explanation as to why it has now pulled the unlocked SKUs from its store shelves is just lame. Summed up, the marked up phones did not sell in part because of "noise in the media" and "confusion" with its customers. Really, Best Buy?
"Although there was clearly demand for the un-activated iPhone X, selling it that way cost more money, causing some confusion with our customers and noise in the media," Best Buy spokeswoman Danielle Schumann told Bloomberg. "That's why we decided a few days ago to only sell the phone the traditional way, through installment billing plans."
Prior to pulling the unlocked SKUs off its store shelves, Best Buy was selling the 64GB iPhone X for $1,099 and the 256GB iPhone X for $1,249. Apple's pricing for the same handsets is $999 and $1,149, respectively. There was nothing special about the phones to justify the $100 premium over MSRP (other than being carrier-free), and the iPhone X models were not even in stock, so that was not a benefit either.
Best Buy did the same thing when the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus launched last month, and its response to a customer as to why it was charging was more for the phones was equally lame.
"I would not be able to say why our price for the unactivated iPhone 8/8 Plus are $100 more than Apple is charging, but I can say we work to remain competitive, and we do have our price match guarantee where we would match lower prices found at a competitor in most cases. With that said contract phones like the iPhone 8/8 Plus do not qualify for our price match guarantee," a Best Buy representative said at the time.
So let's recap. Last month, Best Buy could not explain why it was tacking on a $100 premium on Apple's newest phones, but felt it was worth pointing out it has a price match guarantee, which does not apply to iPhones. And now this month, it is blaming the media and confused customers on the lack of unlocked and unactivated iPhone sales, which it claims "cost more money" to sell that way.
The bummer for consumers is that Apple is not yet selling unlocked and carrier-free iPhone X models for AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint—you have to choose a carrier when buying through Apple (though if selecting T-Mobile, you don't have to attach it to a wireless account, and it will work with T-Mobile or AT&T). Best Buy was, but rather than respond to criticisms over its inflated prices by lowering the cost too Apple's MSRP, it simply stopped selling the unlocked handsets. To borrow a line from Good Will Hunting, 'How do you like them apples?'

Octonauts: Operation Deep Freeze * Never Fails to Keep You Entertained
The Octonauts are a team of adventurers who explore the worlds oceans, rescue aquatic creatures and protect their habitats – from the bustling eco-system along the Amazon River to the deepest depths of the Mariana Trench. KIDS FIRST! Film Critic Katherine S. comments, "Octonauts once again never fail to keep people entertained. There is something new to learn for everyone. The animation is very high quality, yet simple, and always has a new landscape to see, even if it is just snow and water." Eshaan M. adds, "I have a bit of a history with the show Octonauts; I loved it when I was younger and, to be totally honest, still have a soft corner for the super awesome animated animals. Specifically two: the resourceful and level-headed Captain Barnacles who is voiced by the highly talented Simon Greenall; he's one of my favorite voice actors. And, of course the scaredy-cat Peso who is the first to show vulnerability, but is one of the most resilient characters in the show." See their full reviews below.
Octonauts: Operation Deep Freeze
By Katherine S., KIDS FIRST! Film Critic, age 12
Octonauts: Operation Deep Freeze, like so many of their other DVDs, is so enjoyable! It has the cutest animation that has a near stop-motion look and fun adventures.
The Octonuats are a group of animals that explore, rescue and protect. On this thrilling DVD, we join the Octonauts on their numerous exciting adventures to the Arctic and Antarctic (yes, there is a difference). And for those that have watched previous episodes, this DVD introduces some new characters. There are five episodes in this DVD, each running about 13 minutes and include Operation Deep Freeze, Walrus Pups, Emperor Penguins, Coelacanth and Hidden Lake.
Octonauts once again never fail to keep people entertained. There is something new to learn for everyone. The animation is very high quality, yet simple, and always has a new landscape to see, even if it is just snow and water. The voice cast includes Simon Greenall, who plays Captain Barnacles, the leader of the Octonauts, who also happens to be a polar bear and really nails the leader-type voice. Rob Rackstraw plays Kwazii, the adventurous pirate cat, and has a splendid "piratey" voice. Paul Panting plays Peso, the expert penguin medic, and does a perfect shy but kind voice. My favorite episode is Hidden Lake because I had no idea that red lakes existed, let alone that anything lives in them!
There are many positive messages throughout the DVD, including helping others, protecting the ecosystem and the importance of teamwork. Younger children should keep in mind that they should not be interacting with wild animals in real life. However, this show might inspire them to be a vet or animal researcher.
I give Octonauts: Operation Deep Freeze 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 3 to 8. Adults will think that the DVD is fun and probably learn as much about different animals as their kids will. This DVD is available now, so look for it.
By Eshaan M., KIDS FIRST! Film Critic, age 14
Octonauts: Operation Deep Freeze is a superb, educational DVD that will capture your attention for its entire duration. The intricately-designed characters (both their personalities and outward look) and the unique storylines are wondrous!This 66-minute DVD follows a team of sea-adventurers (Captain Barnacles the daredevil polar bear, a friendly ex-pirate named Kwazii the cat, a medic: Peso the penguin and others), as they embark upon an expedition to Antarctica to help out marine life. They prevent a group of penguins from falling into an ice chasm, rescue walrus pups with the Captain's niece and nephew, and discover some microscopic creatures under a hidden lake.
I have a bit of a history with the show Octonauts; I loved it when I was younger and, to be totally honest, still have a soft corner for the super awesome animated animals. Specifically two: the resourceful and level-headed Captain Barnacles who is voiced by the highly talented Simon Greenall; he's one of my favorite voice actors. And, of course the scaredy-cat Peso who is the first to show vulnerability, but is one of the most resilient characters in the show. He's played by Wayne Grayson. Also, the animation is absolutely spectacular; the deep colors and super cutely designed characters will surely catch your eye. Overall, it's a beautifully executed show!
Octonauts: Operation Deep Freeze promotes messages of teamwork, helping others, perseverance and resourcefulness. It's an uplifting DVD that will surely put a smile on your face.
I give Octonauts: Operation Deep Freeze 4.5 stars out of 5 and recommend it for ages 4 to 6. Octonauts: Operation Deep Freeze is available now on DVD! Look for it!

Joining the Order means making a life time commitment to witness to the faith, practice Christian life, and carry forward charitable works for the moral and material support of the Christian communities of the Holy Land, always acting with that discretion which distinguishes Christian charitable efforts.
The purpose of joining the Order is to serve the Catholic Church and promote initiatives to preserve the Christian presence in the Holy Land in a dynamic of dialogue and peace with followers of other religious traditions. The purpose of joining the Order is not to become a member of a prestigious organization in order to boast of one's status or acquire personal benefits and advantages.
Usually, though not always, a candidate is presented by an existing Member of the Order. The Delegate and Section President with jurisdiction over the area in question will assess the candidate at an initial interview. If his/her attributes are generally considered to meet requirements the candidate can begin a period of formation of no less than 12 months.

In this way, they have kept alive the Afro-Cuban heritage of their community, throughout a long history of slavery, poverty, and repression. Years of painstaking research finally led filmmaker Emma Christopher to a remote village in Sierra Leone. There, people watching a recording of the Cubans' ceremonies, joyously declared, "They are we!" and started to join in with the songs. Preparations then began, to welcome home their long lost cousins, with the biggest festival in the history of the village.

A Summary Listing of Honors and Awards at Colleges Around the Nation
The American Association of Women in Community Colleges presented the 2017 Mildred Bulpitt Woman of the Year Award to Karen A. Stout, president and CEO of Achieving the Dream. Stout received the award after her keynote address during the AAWCC breakfast at the American Association of Community Colleges annual convention in New Orleans. The Woman of the Year award was given to Stout for her outstanding leadership and mentorship to women in community colleges. The award is named in honor of AAWCC founder Mildred Bulpitt, as a symbol of her "tenacious, innovative, and selfless spirit in helping women attain leadership positions in community colleges." Stout has been a community college leader for more than 30 years, most recently heading ATD, a comprehensive non-governmental reform movement for student success. She currently shares her knowledge and experience as an accomplished leader as a mentor in the Aspen Presidential Fellowship for Community College Excellence program, a national effort to develop exceptional leaders who can transform community colleges to achieve higher levels of student success while maintaining broad access. She has been an active participant in AAWCC programs over the years, presenting on data-savvy decision making and on decisions about leadership transitions, and participating in the organization's CEO Network. Prior to joining Achieving the Dream in 2015, Stout was president of Montgomery County Community College (Pa.) for more than 14 years, where she created a leadership program with a strong mentoring focus. In October 2016, she was named by Washington Monthly as one of the country's 16 most innovative higher education leaders.
Charlene Newkirk, president of Community College of Allegheny County's (Pa.) South Campus, received a 2017 Shirley B. Gordon Award of Distinction at the 99th annual Phi Theta Kappa "Catalyst" Convention, held in Nashville, Tennessee. Newkirk was among 19 college presidents and campus CEOs who were selected for this award based on their outstanding efforts toward promoting the goals of Phi Theta Kappa honor society. To be selected, nominees should have served as president for at least five years at their current institution and demonstrated a strong level of support for Phi Theta Kappa during their tenure. PTK is the international honor society of two-year colleges and academic programs, particularly community colleges and junior colleges, with more than 1,250 chapters throughout the United States and abroad. It's mission is to recognize and encourage scholarship among two-year college students. The award is named for the late Shirley B. Gordon, PTK's longest-serving Board of Directors chair and president emeritus of Highline Community College (Wash.) Newkirk has served at CCAC since March of 2009. Her experience of 30 years in progressively responsible roles as a college administrator at large public research institutions as well as small public and private colleges, combined with her experience in a community college, has made her a well-respected and seasoned professional in highereducation administration.
Steve Smith, vice president of instruction and workforce education at El Paso Community College (Texas) has been awarded the prestigious Aspen Presidential Fellowship for Community College Excellence, a highly selective leadership program aimed at developing a new cadre of outstanding leaders capable of transforming student success at community colleges across the country. Smith joins 39 others in the the 2017-2018 class of Aspen Presidential Fellows. Delivered in collaboration with the Stanford Educational Leadership Initiative and top community college leaders, the program focuses on a new vision of leadership and aims to guide new and aspiring community college presidents to dramatically change student outcomes in four areas: learning, completion while in community college; bachelor's degrees transfer; employment and earnings after graduation; and equitable access and success for underrepresented minority and low-income students. Smith has been vice president of instruction and workforce education since 2012, where he leads the daily instructional, workforce and continuing education operations of El Paso Community College's five campuses, two centers and nine Early College High Schools. He has worked at the college for 27 years.

TAAT flexes some eCommerce muscle
TAAT Lifestyle & Wellness (TAAT Lifestyle & Wellness Stock Quote, Chart, News, Analysts, Financials CSE:TAAT) says its new online portal will accelerate expansion efforts across the US and help it to capitalize on the society-wide shift to e-commerce.
TAAT has been on a tear of late, with the stock vaulting ahead by 84 per cent since the start of February. That's a lot of ground covered in a short span of time but seemingly par for the course for TAAT, which now less than a year into its run as a public company has now returned a massive 620 per cent.
So, what is TAAT? It's a cigarette company forging a path down the middle between tobacco and vapes. Led by former Philip Morris lead strategist Setti Coscarella, TAAT's proprietary formulation Beyond Tobacco gives the smell and taste of a cigarette without the nicotine or the tobacco. And while vaping and e-cigarettes can offer something similar in the way of alternatives to nicotine and tobacco, the experience is said to be very unlike that of smoking a cigarette — hence the draw of Beyond Tobacco.
TAAT reached commercial-scale production this past fall and launched in the state of Ohio soon after, where so far the product — available in Original, Smooth and Menthol — has seen about 60 per cent of tobacco retailers who carried TAAT for three or more weeks now placing more orders.
The new event from TAAT is the launch of its e-commerce portal, scheduled for February 17 at 9 am EST, giving US adults 21 and over the opportunity to buy TAAT and have it shipped to eligible jurisdictions.
"Selling TAAT online can create a number of advantages for us in the $814-billion tobacco industry," said Coscarella in a February 12 press release. "Foremost, we will be able to benefit from an unprecedented market reach as soon as the online store launches, as opposed to having to set up distribution from scratch in each and every new market."
"Second, the online sales channel can provide us a much greater degree of insight into the tendencies and preferences of smokers aged 21+ who purchase TAAT directly from us," he said. "Additionally, by selling directly to our customer base we expect we will be able to maintain some very favourable profit margins."
TAAT aims to tap into the general movement of retail online, which was already gaining traction before the COVID-19 pandemic hit but got flipped into hyperdrive by the stay-at-home economy that quickly developed. The company quoted in the press release a stat from the US Census Bureau saying 14.3 per cent of total retail sales over the third quarter 2020 occurred online, which was up from 11.2 per cent a year earlier.
"Data from IBM's US Retail Index suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift away from physical stores to digital shopping by roughly five years," TAAT said.
Earlier this month, TAAT reported that due to sustained demand from Ohio retailers the company has upped its production rate by 233 per cent at its processing facility in Las Vegas.

BOK official calms worries over Turkey
The Turkish lira on display with other currencies at the KEB Hana Bank headquarters in central Seoul on Tuesday. [YONHAP]
Financial unrest in Turkey prompted Korean authorities to calm the market on Tuesday after the country's stock markets tumbled the day before on jittery investor sentiment.
Yoon Myun-shik, senior deputy governor of the Bank of Korea, said that contagion risk from Turkey's economic woes, which were triggered by tensions with the United States, are unlikely to have a significant impact on Korea.
"[The Turkish currency crisis] has been affecting global financial markets and also impacting Korean stocks and foreign exchange rates," the deputy governor said.
"Turkey has large fiscal and current account deficits, but holds a small amount of foreign exchange reserves, which is different from Korea," said Yoon. "We have different fundamentals, and the impact will also be limited."
The lira's dramatic fall rattled both Korea's main and junior bourses on Monday, and the main Kospi index reached a 15-month low at 2,248.45. But the markets bounced back on Tuesday over eased sentiments, with the Kospi gaining 0.47 percent to close at 2,258.91.
Washington doubled sanctions on Turkish steel and aluminum over the weekend in an apparent response to Ankara's decision to extend the detention of Andrew Brunson, an American pastor accused of espionage by the Turkish government.
The Korea Center for International Finance, a financial research institution, echoed the positive view on the situation, given that Korea has limited financial exposure to Turkey.
The institution noted that Korean lenders' links to Turkey are relatively weak, as Korean financial institutions are owed only around $1.2 billion by Turkish borrowers.
"Turkey's finance and trade largely depends on Europe, and Korea's exposure is relatively minor," said the Korea Center for International Finance. It did highlight the possibility of European banks cutting loans to other emerging markets like Korea in light of the Turkish woes.
Some investors fear that the meltdown could translate into broader financial rout in emerging markets. Emerging markets with exceptional imbalances - such as Argentina - are on the watch list.
Park Hee-chan, an analyst at Mirae Asset Daewoo, said that there are few fundamental reasons to count Korea alongside other vulnerable countries.
"Korea continues to maintain large trading surpluses along with sufficient foreign currency reserves," he said.
"The proportion of short-term debt also continued to drop, and now the portion stands at 30 percent," the analyst said. "It is unlikely that the Korean won will sharply depreciate in the short term."
The think tank went on to warn that Turkey's currency crisis won't be solved in the short term.
"The market consensus is that the financial unrest won't likely be addressed in the short term because the Turkish government's diplomatic efforts and its capacity to solve the problem are inadequate," it said, adding that the Turkish government should increase interest rates and seek aid from the International Monetary Fund.
The Turkish uncertainties appeared to decrease slightly on Tuesday, as the lira rebounded from a record slide a day earlier. The currency was helped by the central bank's liquidity measures and news of a planned conference call from the country's finance minister.

All of the Airports

From Airport to Petaluma

Lodging and Accommodation

Scheduling Your Visit

Food and Activities

All of the Airports

You can get to Petaluma from any of six airports, three of which we recommend, one of which is very convenient if it's an option for you:

Santa Rosa (STS)

Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport, in Santa Rosa, is just 25 miles away from the venue and offers the convenience of a small regional airport. With short lines, short walks, Snoopy statues, and the shortest distance from the venue, this is our #1 recommendation.

You can get to and from the airport in about 30 minutes with a taxi cab, bus, or train with a short cab ride. You could rent a car, but you won't need it unless you're planning to explore the North Bay while you're in town.

You can fly into Santa Rosa through many airports, including: Portland (PDX), Los Angeles (LAX), Seattle (SEA), San Diego(SAN), Santa Ana (SNA), Phoenix (PHX), Dallas (DFW), Denver (DEN), and Minneapolis (MSP). You could fly from San Francisco (SFO) if you really wanted to, but we don't recommend it!

Oaklank (OAK) and San Francisco (SFO)

The airports in Oakland and San Francisco are about 50 miles away from the venue and have many more connecting flights. Because of their distance from the venue, travel times are very subject to freeway traffic and can range from 60 to 90 minutes. Upon arrival, we recommend taking the express bus; it's faster and cheaper than weaving together public transit systems to get here.

Sacramento (SMF) or San Jose (SJC)

The airports in Sacramento and San Jose are about 85 miles away from the venue and aren't recommended, but are options available to you. You'll probably need to rent a car.

Petaluma (O69)

If you happen to be a pilot, or be willing to charter a flight, you can flight directly into town through Petaluma Municipal Airport!

From Airport to Petaluma

How you get to Petaluma from the airport depends, naturally, on which airport you're flying into. Per airport details are provided above, but broadly your options are: cab rides, express shuttles, public transit, ride sharing apps, or renting a car.

Depending on which airport you use, you'll be in town within 30 to 90 minutes. If you need to park a car, take note: all parking is free in Petaluma, however street-level praking is time-limited near the venue. All-day parking is available at street level west of 5th Street (towards 6th Street), and at the garages at Theatre Square and at Keller St. Both garages are in short walking distance of the venue.

Lodging and Accommodation

You'll probably want to stay at one of the hotels in Petaluma, but there are options nearby in Rohnert Park, or in Sonoma Valley if you'd like an extra dose of scenery. If you're feeling adventurous, you could even stay out on the coast in Bodega Bay or up in Santa Rosa. But staying in Petaluma near the venue means you'll have a very walkable weekend; you won't need to worry about driving or getting rides at all!

Check out our Where to Stay page for more details on hotels and other options, including links to discounted rooms.

Scheduling Your Visit

All the official events will take place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, from November 1st to 3rd, so we recommend you arrive Friday afternoon (at the latest) and depart on Sunday evening (at the earliest).

Many people choose to arrive Thursday evening and depart Monday morning, for convenience. Lots of attendees choose to start their visit even earlier, or stay longer, so they have time to explore our landmarks, expansive parkland, and world class hospitality.

Food and Activities

Petaluma is right at the intersection of Sonoma, Napa, and Marin Counties. This three county region, which makes up the North Bay, is famous for its parkland, agriculture, fine food, wine, beer, and spirits. There's a lot to do here and we encourage you to explore while you're here!

We've prepared a food guide which will help you find good eats in Petaluma, but if you're sticking around beyond the conference, you'll want to check out your favorite food or restaurant guide.

From family-friendly hikes to museums, wine tours to wind swept beaches, and lots of kid-friendly attractions, we encourage folks to bring their families along and stay as long as they can! We will offer free childcare for kids from 6 months to 12 years of age during the conference.


Sky looks totally different in each time and each place. I feel so fresh when I go to somewhere else and see the sky there. I love the sky of south warm countries especially.
Today I could start working at an apparel store named "Sky".
When I was in a basketball club at high school, my code name was "Sora"(sky in Japanese).
Sky seems to be something special for me.

She blogs and podcasts under her not-so-common maiden name where she laughs and writes about this wonderfully messy adventure called life.


You've probably had this happen to you a million times before: You're walking around a store looking for a nicely designed T-shirt and you find one with the sign, "Don't be happy, worry" on it. Or you're looking at a public bathroom's ceiling and notice that it's made out of a gigantic mirror. These hilarious design choices are all around us.
Here at Brightside, we've put together a collection of 27 pictures featuring designs you can't help but have a good laugh at.
2. Isn't this a tad too dangerous?
3. That's not how English works.
5. Is there "Eurrope" on the map somewhere?
8. A professional painter did this, obviously.
9. That's not how people's heads work.
10. Are you sure it's for the disabled?
11. You wanted privacy? What's privacy?
12. Happy "Brode" to be!
14. Are you sure that's what a body looks like?
15. Not the best advice, that's for sure.
16. We're not sure this designer knows what the clock is for.
18. Again, are you sure this bathroom has privacy?
19. We're pretty sure Jessica still very much needs her family.
20. Isn't this just 1 trash bag?
21. Good luck getting all the water in your tub!
22. At least they figured it out.
24. Please don't do drugs even though these say the opposite.
25. It's all about inclusivity.
26. That's not what word-wrapping should look like.

Wow, what a Sunday of bike racing! THREE women's cycling races streamed and two of them road. I wouldn't be surprised at all if you missed any of it – so here are videos and other media I've found from the race. As always, if there's anything I've missed, please do tell me in the comments, or on twitter, and I'll add it in.
Round 9 of the Women's WorldTour, and it's the last of the races outside of Europe, and the end of the mini North American UCI season.
If you're in the USA, you might not be able to see this – we don't know why, we're assuming the UCI has sold the rights to someone, and it's really frustrating. But Hola and Tunnelbear can help – set yourself to the UK.


Keiki Camp: How Many Kids Go to Keiki Camp?
How Many Kids Go to Keiki Camp?
This is a question we get quite often so thought we'd address it here. Our Keiki Camp summer camp program, which takes place in Malibu at Paradise Cove, is a rather small program serving approximately 25 kids per day. We keep the enrollment intentionally small so we can do very personal work with our campers and they get maximum enjoyment from the camp experience.

Students in the Bay Area come from all over the world — and you will be studying in a vibrant multicultural setting. So, if you are looking for a smooth tradition into your new life in the US, San Francisco will probably be one of the best destinations for starting your journey.
San Francisco is a centre of art, culture, music and all things creative. The city's openness to new experiences and different forms of expression have all contributed to a truly unique vibe that you won't find elsewhere in the world.
A big city can be a tough place to live in. It can be loud, complicated, rude and sometimes even stifling. It can challenge you in all the wrong ways and leave no space to clear your head after long days of study. San Francisco is different. It's a big and busy city that has somehow retained its quiet charm and calm disposition. Plus, you will find lots of great places to relax like Golden Gate Park, Ocean Beach, Baker Beach and more.
If you choose to study in San Francisco, here are some of the best universities in the city to consider.
Best universities in San Francisco
While San Francisco is a relatively small city (covering an area of just 50 square miles), it is home to over 20 colleges and universities — including some of the best and most selective universities in the United States.
Stanford is one of the most well-known universities in the United States. According to the QS World University Ranking of 2021, it is the second-best university in the world (right after MIT). Naturally, getting into Stanford is very complicated and the university is one of the most selective in the entire country with an admission rate of just 4.3%.
Every year, Stanford welcomes around 1,700 freshmen and the university counts close to 7,000 undergraduate students coming from 48 states and 77 different countries. Stanford's community of scholars and graduates includes 19 Nobel Prize laureates, 167 members of the National Academy of Sciences, 4 Pulitzer Prize winners, 33 MacArthur fellows and more.
Stanford University offers about 50 programs for graduates and undergraduates and is made up of seven schools: earth sciences, engineering, education, business, medicine, law, and humanities and sciences. The university also supports distance learning via an online platform — and there is a nice selection of free courses on offer.
Studying at Stanford full time is quite expensive with yearly tuition amounting to about $53,000.
Berkeley University
Berkeley's location, setting and educational environment are just a few of the factors that make the university one of the most sought after universities in the world by international students. Established in 1868 on about 2,700 hectares of land, the university is surrounded by astounding scenery that allows for comfortable and convenient learning.
Berkeley University ranks as the 4th best university in the world according to QS World University Rankings of 2021. The university has a tough selection process — but is not as exclusive as Stanford with an admission rate of 16.3%.
Regarding affordability, Berkeley university is one of the most affordable higher education schools in the United States. This is predominantly because it is a public school (in fact, the university ranks as the best public university in the US) but it produces excellent students. The in-state tuition fee at Berkeley is $14,253 and out-of-state tuition is around $44,000.
Berkeley University offers 106 bachelor programmes that span over four years, 97 PhD in 14 faculties apart from medicine, and 88 masters.
Santa Clara is another highly rated university in San Francisco. It is a private mid-sized Jesuit university with a picturesque campus at the southern tip of the San Francisco Bay. It is actually the oldest operating educational establishment in the state of California and has remained in its original location ever since its foundation.
The rate of admission to Santa Clara University is quite competitive at 49%. The cost of tuition at the university is around $55,000. Most students come to Santa Clara to study business, management, marketing, journalism, social sciences and psychology.
Santa Clara University is ranked as the 85th best university in the world according to the QS World University Ranking.
Academy of Art University is the largest private art and design school in the US. The university was established in 1929 and remains the centre of culture and creativity in the region to this day.
Academy of Art University practices the no-barrier admissions policy, which makes it easier for students from other countries and lower income homes to get access to quality education. The university welcomes applicants from all over the world — and there are 30 different study programs to choose from.
The acceptance rate at the Academy of Art University is 100% and there is no minimum GPA requirement. Plus, the university's Department of English for Art Purposes offers language support for non-native English speakers wishing to study here.
San Francisco State University is another public university in our list. It is part of the 23-campus California State University system and offers 118 different bachelor degrees, 94 master's degrees and 5 doctoral degrees.
San Francisco State University is one of the more affordable institutions in the area with out-of-state tuition set at $19,146 per year. The admission rate at the university is 67.3%.
The most popular programs at the university include business, management, marketing, communication, journalism, social sciences and others.
Applying for a student visa to study in San Francisco
To study in the United States, you need to apply for a student visa. If you plan to study in an American university full time, you will need to apply for the F-1 student visa. Once you have received the visa, you will need to stay enrolled in the university and to keep up good grades in order for your visa to stay valid.
If you are in the United States on an F-1 visa, you can work on-campus — as long as you are working no more than 20 hours a week. There are also options for working off-campus — but doing this is a bit more complicated and you will first need to file an application with USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services).
There are two other types of student visas you can apply for are J-1 and M-1.
J-1 visas are intended for individuals doing an internship, working on research projects or involved in similar activity in the US. Note that a J-1 visa is only valid for the length of the program you are enrolled in.
M-1 visas are meant for those who at enrolled in technical or specialized study programs that are not held at academic institutions. Generally, as an M-1 visa holder, you are not allowed to work while in the US.
To apply for a student visa in the United States, you will first need to be accepted into your chosen university. You will also need to show proof of your financial standing: you should have enough funds to pay for tuition and be able to support yourself throughout your stay in the US.
For more information on student visas to the US, refer to this article: Study in the USA.
General requirements for entry to a university or college in San Francisco
Different colleges and universities in San Francisco accept students under different conditions. This is why you should check the admission rate at your desired university/college to evaluate your chances objectively. As you can see from above, getting into a university like Stanford would be exceptionally hard — compared to, for instance, San Francisco State University.
Here are the main requirements for applying to a university in San Francisco:
You will need good grades from your previous study place and your grades should be equivalent to the GPA (Grade Point Average) requirement at the university you are applying to.
If there is a big academic gap between your previous educational establishment and the university you are applying to in the U, you can take a pathway program. Pathway programs are
preparatory courses designed specifically for international students to help them catch up on the curriculum of American colleges and universities. Taking a preparatory course can help you significantly increase your chance of a successful application to a university in the US.
Another important requirement for applying to a university in the US is a good knowledge of the English language. In most cases, you will need to present proof of your English language proficiency (in the form of a TOEFL or IELTS test) if you are not a native English speaker. If you want to improve your language skills prior to applying, you can take a preparatory language course. It may also be a good idea to take a language course to help you prepare for a specific exam like TOEFL or IELTS.
Without exaggeration, San Francisco may be one of the best places to study in the United States. It ranks in 35th place in the QS Best Student Cities list and is a very popular destination for international students. The city is home to some of the most respected and recognized institutions in the country and, with that, offers a calm and relaxing environment to study and relax after school.
Make sure you make the most of your time in this exciting city by doing more research on student life and leisure activities in San Francisco.

David Letterman: 'I would have gone to work on Trump'
Updated: 7:17 AM CST Mar 6, 2017
Wikipedia SOURCE: Wikipedia
David Letterman says he would have handled President Donald Trump a bit differently than "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon. In a wide-ranging interview with Vulture, the retired late night television icon discussed the playful moment when Fallon tousled Trump's hair during an appearance on his show during the presidential campaign. Letterman says Fallon got a "fantastic viral clip" out of the moment, but he "would have gone to work on Trump." He says, "I think I would be in the position to give him a bit of a scolding and he would have to sit there and take it." Letterman says he doesn't watch late night television anymore and has not seen successor Stephen Colbert's show. Letterman retired in 2015 after 33 years as a late night host.

Піта синьохвоста (Hydrornis guajanus) — вид горобцеподібних птахів родини пітових (Pittidae).

Поширення
Ендемік Індонезії. Поширений на островах Ява і Балі. Мешкає у первинниму та вторинному тропічному лісі на низьких висотах з густим підліском, в якому він знаходить їжу та притулок.

Опис
Дрібний птах, завдовжки до 20 см, включаючи хвіст. Це масивний, пухкий птах з короткими крилами та хвостом, подовженими головою та дзьобом. У самця на голові є чорний лоб, верхівка і потилиця, а також смужка, яка з боків дзьоба доходить до вуха і звужується до основи шиї, а також є жовто-помаранчева «брова» і жовтувато-біле горло. Крила і спина коричневі, тоді як на грудях, боках і животі окремі пера жовті в проксимальній половині і сині в дистальній половині, надаючи цим частинам характерний рябий вигляд. Махові пера чорні з білою серединною смугою. Хвіст блакитний. Смужка між грудьми і горлом теж блакитна. Самиця має обширнішу білу область горла та білий лоб, тоді як черево менш яскраве і має тенденцію до коричневого кольору, зберігаючи при цьому смугастий вигляд. В обох статей дзьоб чорнуватий, ноги тілесного кольору, а очі карі.

Спосіб життя
Трапляється поодинці. Активний вдень. Птах проводить більшу частину дня, рухаючись у гущі підліску в пошуках поживи. Живиться дощовими хробаками та равликами, рідше комахами та іншими дрібними безхребетними. Розмноження цих птахів досі не описано в природі, але вважається, що воно суттєво не відрізняється від того, що дотримуються інші види піт.

Aviation Planning Council Members Appointed to Prepare for Washington Airport Growth
The Aviation Planning Council could designate Paine Field for commercial service, making it a sub-regional airport, to take congestion pressure off Sea-Tac Intl.. That decision would settle a controversy between groups on opposite sides of a major issue.
By Terry Stephens
Recommendations from the new Aviation Planning Council, created in August by Gov. Christine Gregoire, will influence how Washington's airports grow to meet increasing demand for commercial passenger and air cargo service over the next 20 years.
The council's recommendations could settle a growing debate in Everett between business and citizen groups on opposing sides of one of the most volatile airport conflicts in Washington. Business members of the Private Enterprise Coalition of Snohomish County are pushing to attract airlines' interest at Paine Field, while Mukilteo residents are trying to discourage any efforts to bring commercial air service to the airport through the "Save Our Communities" campaign. According to a recent report by the Washington State Department of Transportation's aviation division, officials are concerned that despite the importance of aviation to the state economy, the aviation network itself is in danger, if changes aren't made to support it. The state's warnings are part of the three-year Long-term Aviation Transportation Study.
The combined forces of benign neglect, inconsistent levels of activity, an antiquated funding base, a fluctuating economy and local land use conflicts could interact to threaten the entire system, the LATS report noted. Researchers said other issues revolve around the pressures of rapid growth on the state's airports. For instance, the state's population has doubled in the past 30 years, to 6.5 million; another 2 million are expected to be added by 2025. Since population gains historically create increased aviation activity for business, freight, public safety and recreation, the FAA predicts a 25 percent increase in total aviation by 2025, a 42 percent increase in commercial operations and a 60 percent increase in business and corporate flying by 2030.
A project team for the new aviation council will begin preparing materials for members to review later this year. Members will particularly focus on two years of LATS airport facilities and capacities surveys finished in 2006. After convening in January for the first of its sessions, the council will issue its report to the legislature by July 2009, in time for project funding in the 2010-11 budget.
The governor's council appointments include individuals from various Washington cities. Carol Moser of Richland is a member of the Washington Transportation Commission. She served on the Richland City Council and the Association of Washington Cities board of directors.
John Sibold of Arlington is director of aviation for the Washington State Department of Transportation. He retired from Alaska Airlines, where he managed in-flight customer service. He was also the director of aviation and marine services for the Port of Bellingham and is a member of the National Association of State Aviation Officials.
Juli Wilkerson of Olympia is director of the Washington Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development. She previously served as director of the city of Tacoma's economic development department.
Paul A. Roberts of Marysville is the director of public works for the City of Marysville and an Everett City Council member. He's a former executive director of the Office of the Snohomish County Executive and former director of Everett's department of planning and community development.
John Townsley of Okanogan is a forest silviculturist with the USDA Forest Service. He's also a board member of the Okanogan Legion Airport Improvement Association and a member of the Washington Pilots Association.
David A. Field of Bellevue, a senior consultant with Carter and Burgess, is working on airport project development. He recently retired from 40 years with the Federal Aviation Administration, where he managed airport planning, programming and capacity studies.
Prod Gratton O'Neal Sealock II, director of Spokane International Airport (GEG), is a retired U.S. Army brigadier general with 31 years of active service. He's a lifetime member of the Army Aviation Association of America.
James McNamara of Vancouver is on the Western Washington Growth Management Hearings Board. He previously was an assistant city attorney in Vancouver, Federal Way and Bremerton. He's a licensed pilot and an adjunct assistant professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, teaching aviation law, aviation legislation and public administration.
Donald Garvett of Mercer Island is the vice president of strategy and corporate development for Alaska Airlines. He has more than 35 years of aviation experience.
Penelope L. Loomis, of Chattaroy, is the airport manager for Deer Park Municipal Airport (DEW) and is a member of the American Association of Airport Executives. Previously, she was the chair of the Washington Community Airport Association and on the board of the Washington Airport Management Association.

Happy October 1st! I can't believe it is already October. In celebration of the month of Halloween, I made these pumpkin-shaped cheddar cheese crackers. The husband calls them "cheese cookies" because they look more like cookies than crackers. I guess I could have rolled the dough thinner to make them look more like cheddar cheese crackers, but I also like their plumpness. You can get creative with the shapes you want for your cheese crackers. These pumpkin-shaped crackers make a fun appetizer recipe for a Halloween party, and they go really well with soup! I found a recipe for cheddar crackers on the Wilton website, and I have to admit I was worried about using Worcestershire sauce in my crackers (isn't that for meat?!), but I loved how they came out – super flavorful and cheddar cheesy!
What did everyone do this weekend? I went out in North Beach for the first time, and it was a lot of fun. I also saw Looper, which was pretty good! I am usually not a fan of "shoot 'em up" movies, but this one had some great twists and an interesting story.
Shred the cheese by hand with a cheese grater.
Cream the shredded cheese, butter, Worcestershire sauce and seasonings together until smooth in a standalone mixer with paddle attachment.
Gradually add the flour to cheese mixture until well-blended.
Flour hands and shape dough into a ball.
Use a floured rolling and roll dough out to desired thickness (thinner will give best results).
Use a knife or cookie cutter and transfer shapes to an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake about 12 minutes or until turning slightly golden brown.
Remove from oven let stand a few minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
This entry was posted in Appetizers, Halloween, Snack and tagged cheddar, cheese, crackers.
Your crackers couldn't be any cuter! I have to make these!! I have been wanting to make crackers and this recipe is perfect!!
P.S Don't forget to enter my international giveaway in my latest post!
They are verrrry cheesy 🙂 Happy 1 year anniversary!
How cute are those?! I would use my food processor to grate the cheese, since I recently lost a battle with a grater… I'll have to keep these in mind for soup sometime!
Haaa! These are so cute! I love that they're little pumpkins! They look like better versions of cheez-its!
Adorable! Now that it's cool enough to turn my oven on I've been itching to make some crackers. I think I might have to give these a try!
Thanks for visiting my site. These crackers look great, I like how you added Worcestershire sauce to them.
Aw what a cute idea! I've never made homemade crackers before, I'd love to give them a try!
Good stuff! I make cheese straws that are similar. I like the inclusion of Worcestershire sauce in your recipe – I'll have to try that. Thanks for this.
This recipe is very good.I have a blog of Italian recipes but I like to discover new flavours.Your recipes are great.
