Okay, brace yourself for bad news. After what's sure to be a majorly cliffhanger-y midseason finale of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (last year's featured Coulson's kidnapping, and the show's major upswing is any indication, this year's will feature even higher stakes), we're going to have to dig in for a long, cold, S.H.I.E.L.D.-less winter. After the Dec. 9 episode, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. won't return for the second half of Season 2 until March 3, according to TVLine.
Yup, March — in other words, an absolute eternity. I feel like I need to go bear-style and reserve a lot of fat deposits so I can dig in for a few months of S.H.I.E.L.D.-induced hibernation (shoot me in the chest with the night-night gun, why don't you?). With everything that hangs in the balance, from Skye/her crazy dad, Skye/her immortal mom (who might still be alive), and Skye/her true identity (are you sensing a theme here?), you can bet that we're going to be screaming for answers at end of the hour on Tuesday. Though, to be fair, showrunner Maurissa Tancharoen did demure in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, regarding Skye, "You will learn her real name sooner than you think." So maybe we'll at least be finally learning that in the midseason finale, "What We Become."
Unfortunately, Tancharoen also rather ominously said, "After the midseason finale, things will never be the same again," so I'm guessing more questions will be raised than answered. It's going to be tough to wait three whole months to solve the cliffhanger, but at least we're not left out in the cold, because — Agent Carter and the Howling Commandos to the rescue — ABC will be running its highly-anticipated Agent Carter miniseries during S.H.I.E.L.D.' s hiatus.
Agent Carter (which stars Hayley Atwell, reprising her star-turn of a role from Captain America: The First Avenger) is set to explore the genesis of S.H.I.E.L.D. We've already gotten a few glimpses of her post-war world, and it promises to be cinematic and awesome. Another bonus? According to Deadline, Enver Gjokaj (who you might remember as the guy who did the most spot-on Topher Brink impersonation ever) will be playing a "sweet and honorable...war hero who has risked his life many times." Sounds perfect for the ever-lovable Gjokaj, now all we have to do is hope Dichen Lachman and Reed Diamond stop by on their way home from their S.H.I.E.L.D. flashbacks so we can have a mini Dollhouse reunion!
So as much as it hurts to know that S.H.I.E.L.D. won't be back until March, Agent Carter premieres on Jan. 6, so you'll have a lot to keep you occupied in the mean time (thank goodness).


A web site went live this week that represents a significant new endeavor for The Voice of the Martyrs in answering our call to be a voice for our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world.
VOMRadio.net represents the beginning of what will become a half hour weekly radio show featuring the testimonies of our Christian family around the world, and stories from VOM workers who travel into hostile and restricted nations and meet first-hand with Christians who serve and suffer in those places.
The show is launching online and as a podcast this week, and in 2015 VOM will pursue broadcast opportunities with Christian radio stations around the US.
Todd Nettleton will host the weekly show. As VOM's media spokesperson, Todd has done more than 2,000 media interviews over the past 16 years and interviewed hundreds of Christians who have faced persecution.
The goal is to give listeners in-depth insights about serving Christ in difficult places and under intense persecution. How can someone hang on to—and even increase—their faith in an Iranian prison? What is it like for a VOM worker to sit down with a wife whose husband is in jail in China? What do you say to her? Why does the North Korean government work so hard to stamp out Christianity? These are a few topics addressed in the first four episodes of VOM Radio, available online now.
There are multiple ways to provide feedback, all listed on www.VOMRadio.net.
To listen electronically, you can subscribe to VOMRadio on iTunes, SoundCloud or Stitcher.
This week we have a little bit longer podcast that you'll want to tune in for. Learn the latest prayer requests from David and then hear some inspiring comments regarding the persecuted church, fear and hope. What is stronger fear or hope?
Now you can also share these podcasts and anything VOM produces on your Pinterest account. Click here to follow the official Pinterest page.
Today I want to remind you of our two latest Persecution Podcasts that we have recently posted for you. On December 10th we aired our podcast in which we focused on prayer requests from Central Asia, Kazakhstan, Iran and Nepal.
Here is the prayer request for Central Asia and you may click here to read the other prayer requests and click here to listen to this short Persecution Podcast.
A young woman in Central Asia was kicked out of her home by her parents recently after a Muslim leader blamed them for the girl's Christian faith. "Rebecca" and a group of other women gathered to comfort a young woman whose mother had died, and one of the Christian women prayed. While prayer is common in this Muslim-majority country, several Muslim women became enraged when the Christian ended her prayer in Jesus' name. A local Muslim leader questioned everyone in the room, asking them if they believed in Jesus, and the Christians bravely admitted their belief. The Muslim leader then took Rebecca to her parents' home and blamed them for their daughter's Christian faith. Though Rebecca's parents aren't strongly opposed to Christianity, they forced her to leave the home out of fear of their neighbors. Pray for Rebecca as she adjusts to this change in her life, and pray that the community will be positively affected by the faith of these young people.
Then on December 14th we aired another podcast in which we discussed the nations of Algeria, Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria and India. Please click here to listen to this short episode and please share with your praying friends.
Here is a specific prayer request for Nigeria. As you know, Nigerian Christians have suffered tremendously this year. Please pray.
Suspected Islamists attacked two villages in Borno state on Dec. 1, killing at least 10 villagers and burning four churches. The attackers, thought to be members of the Islamist group Boko Haram, went from house to house in a predominantly Christian area of Chibok on Saturday evening, killing nine Christians and one Muslim man. They also attacked 20 homes and a church in Chibok. The same night, extremists burned three churches and several other buildings in Gamboru Ngala village, near the border with Cameroon. Several police officers were killed in the second attack. State officials met with community leaders and senior church leaders on Monday, Dec. 3, to discuss how best to help them. Pray for those affected by these recent attacks, and pray that Nigerian Christians will support their persecuted brothers and sisters in Nigeria.
I have to tell you that I just got done finishing listening to last Friday's Persecution Podcast and I really want to encourage you to take the time to listen to it. After you hear this past weeks prayer requests, which you can still pray for, you're going to be challenged as the VOM speaker discusses an influential person in his life named John and tells a story about Don, and 80 year old trumpet player.
You will be challenged to consider your heart for the lost and be asked when was the last time you wept for those who did not know Jesus.
This weeks Persecution Podcast is now live for your listening pleasure and edification.
This week Dory and David share prayer updates for the countries of Philippines, Iran, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
This podcast is only about 7 minutes long. Please click here to listen now!
Every Friday we post our weekly Persecution Podcast, and this past Friday our show dealt with important prayer requests from China, Nigeria, Kenya and Central Asia. If you missed this short podcast, please click here and listen. The show is only about 6 minutes.
Here is a short synopis of each praise and/or prayer request for each nation highlighted.
Central Asia - We give thanks for those believers who received a sewing machine so they can provide for their families and so they don't have to worry as much about getting a job, since in Central Asia, they always ask if a person is a Christian and if it turns out they are a Christian, they don't get hired. Be inspired by the faith of these women and pray for their continued endurance and blessing.
Kenya - Pray for Christians in Kenya, who are increasingly subject to harm at the hands of al-Shabaab militants from Somalia. Pray for the parents who recently lost their children in these attacks.
Nigeria - At least Twenty-two students were shot dead or stabbed at a Federal Polytechnic University in northeastern Nigeria in Adamawa state Oct. 2 by suspected Boko Haram militants. Some reports say over forty students were murdered by Boko Haram. Please pray for the families of the lost and also for the members of Boko Haram to come to faith in Jesus Christ.
China - Pray for those involved in a digital Bible project. Digital music players are loaded with audio New Testaments, portions of the Old Testament, VOM books and hymns.
You can read more detailed prayer requests on our Persecution Podcast page.
We have now posted this weeks Persecution Podcast #134 which deals with specific prayer requests for those in North Africa, Laos, Kazakhstan and Sierra Leone.
In Sierra Leone, we have much to praise God for in prayer, as many converts from Islam have converted to Christianity and are now following Christ. Christian radio is also playing a huge part in their Christian development! Praise God!
Please pray for Pastor Makset Djabbarbergenov, who is being held in Kazakhstan and could be handed over to Uzbek authorities. Pray for his family and for the Lord to deliver him from Uzbek authorities.
A number of pastors and Christians have been arrested in Laos. Please pray for their deliverance.
Lastly, please pray for teachers in North Africa, as they teach about the Lord.
Click here to download this short podcast and please share it with your friends.
Last Friday, late in the afternoon, we posted our latest Persecution Podcast. This is about a 35 minute episode and features some special things besides our normal prayer requests.
The countries of focus are Afghanistan, Russia, Laos, and Armenia. Then after the prayer you will get to hear about some correspondence from Richard Wurmbrand as shared by a VOM worker.
Click here to listen to the podcast now. Please share with your friends!
This is a Persecution Podcast that you must hear because at the end of the show you will hear correspondence from Sabina Wurmbrand as shared by a VOM worker.

updated on January 7, 2019 January 9, 2019 by edel3154Leave a Comment on Day 16 Stay Motivated – Look How Far You've Come!
Sometimes your goals and "resolutions" can get hard, but to keep moving forward you only need a little bit of motivation. You can keep your levels of motivation up in a few ways. Motivating yourself can be as simple as tricking your brain into seeing things in a new light. One of the best ways to gain a new perspective is to examine your past. Some believe the past is best left in the past, but taking a look back can be extremely useful when you purposefully pull out the good things. Let me show you how you can stay motivated by looking at how far you've come.
You can start by looking at the goal or "resolution" you're currently following to find examples of times you've moved forward along this path. For example, you hit a plateau in your weight loss: look back on the ways you've succeed on your journey so far. Remind yourself of these weight loss accomplishments! This can give you the tenacity to tackle the obstacle you're up against right now. If you're finding this method difficult because you are just starting out and don't have successes to pull from about your newest goal, you need to take a different approach. Find other areas in your life in which you've had success and have overcome difficulties.
While that time may not be the same as this current challenge, this kind of self-inspection lets you know that you have done hard things before. It gives you the confidence to know you can do them again.
Once you've started thinking of the times in where you've been successful in the past, write them down! This is evidence you can return to during tough times. Document the past victories related to your current goal, but also choose other accomplishments of which you're especially proud. You might even want to add photos of certificates and awards or copies of positive employment reviews and congratulatory notes from colleagues. These can be an amazing addition to your file of visual reminders. Don't stop there. If you want to keep the motivation going and continue to see the worth in your current mission, it's a good idea to keep a weekly record of small things you do well.
Include tasks you accomplish for work, small victories in your personal life or projects you've taken care of around the house. Doing so can be a powerful confidence booster for when you're not feeling that great about your potential.
Finally, you will want to use the evidence you collect as a resource for planning to attack your current struggle. Going back to our weight loss plateau example, you could review the goals you've accomplished already on the road to becoming more fit. Write down the tangible steps you took to get there and then take it farther by making a list of the types of personal strengths you utilized to make those goals a reality. Do the same thing by examining an unrelated accomplishment if you don't have anything relevant to the immediate task at hand. Then brainstorm ways you can use those qualities to move past this slump.
You may have discovered that it was your sheer stubbornness that helped you lose those first 10 pounds. Some may see being stubborn as a negative, but that's not necessarily so in this case. Don't be afraid to delve deep within and to be honest about what you find. Use those discoveries to your advantage to move past your roadblock.
I hope you have an idea of how you can use past accomplishments to keep you motivated toward your goal or resolution. I've always found this to be a really empowering way to get back on track.

In the simplest terms, a landing page is any web page that a visitor could arrive on (or, you know,"land on"). Landing pages would be the best way for businesses to turn internet visitors into either leads or sales; however, while many companies use landing pages, these pages are under-utilized. Research suggests that 62 percent of these businesses use just six or fewer landing pages in their marketing strategies.
Too frequently, website visitors fail to convert because their click sends them into the homepage rather than a specific landing page that guides them through the sales funnel. An effective approach can enhance conversions by 48 percent or longer. Don't get left behind. Here's why each modern marketer needs to incorporate landing pages into their digital marketing plan. Conversions – Your website is to provide customers with an engaging and tailored encounter since it is those experiences that cause sales. When visitors are given targeted content, they are more inclined to take another step, such as filling out a contact form or purchasing a product. Lead generation – Nothing leaves collecting online leads simpler than landing pages on your website. Links that are distributed through different channels like social media, email, and search traffic are dropped to your website's homepage. Reclaim those lost leads by steering traffic to your landing pages. SEO value – When is the last time you seen the next page of search results? Can you remember? More landing pages means more opportunities to rank high in searches. If you rank high, you convert high. It is worth it to be at the top. Literally. Collect demographic information – When a lead becomes a conversion, then you get valuable information about who's visiting your site. That information permits you to target your audience at a more direct and efficient method. Content to match with marketing offers – Marketing offers can have a hard time finding a home in your website. Offers seek to incentivize users to obtain your service or product. So obviously, the best location to put them is with pages created to convert. If you're looking to generate more leads, rank higher in research, score more conversions, then pinpoint your demographic, and boost the effectiveness of your marketing offers, then it's time to come up with a killer landing page plan.

Not everyone needs a wedding planner to help with their entire wedding. The couple from this 1920's Garden Party Wedding planned out a whole weekend of celebrating before we were brought on board to assist with the last minute details and day of coordination. They booked out the entire grounds of the Xenia Centre on Bowen Island for the weekend, allowing their close friends and family the opportunity to really get to know each other. Two families becoming one!
After all of their hard work recruiting vendors, scouring thrift shops for their vintage decor, and wrangling up their friends and family for the weekend, they just wanted to be stress free on the actual wedding day. We were more than happy to help alleviate this stress- that's what wedding planners are for!
Who doesn't want their wedding to be the best day of their lives? After all the planning and organizing is over, enjoying the big day should be top priority. When we first sat down to talk wedding with this bride, she only had 2 wishes- to have fun at her wedding, and to have a zipper put in the dress so she could easily get it off to use the bathroom. The latter in our opinion, is one of the best ideas ever- especially when you're in a beautiful form fitting dress. Our bride was a clever one, also because she knew the only sure fire way to enjoy her wedding was to hire us to help plan and take care of all the details on the big day. 😉 Once we got the photos back from the photographer Richard Pasco, it was clear our bride for exactly what she wanted. Take a look at some of the photos from this fantastic wedding, which was held at the Sunset Ranch Golf and Country Club in Kelowna.

Amazing to think this is the fifth year of the BPMN Model Interchange Working Group (MIWG). Yesterday as the annual demonstration and once again there was a room full of BPMN practitioners and vendors as well as a live stream. The demonstration took the form of ten vendors each modelling an additional part on top of the previous tool's contribution. In other words at each handover the model was interchanged between two tools carrying forward all standard model elements and vendor extensions.
The scenario required a customer data object to be used by numerous tasks. For those unfamiliar with this aspect of BPMN, this requires a single, non-visual, Data Object to be contained in the model and several, visual, Data Object References to be placed on the diagram and linked with the task consuming them. Each Data Object Reference is typically assigned a state that describes what is expected at that point in the process.
Data Object Reference and underlying Data Object it refers to.
A Call Activity is a vital construct that allows process reuse. This scenario showed separate tools creating the called and calling process and a third connecting them together.
This marked a milestone year for KnowProcess as Tim demoed the process modeller modifying processes as opposed to viewing and executing models created in other tools for the first time. More on that in a future post. For now here is the completed process re-imported into KnowProcess.

The Washington Grays of Philadelphia (also known as Volunteer Corps of Light Infantry, Light Artillery Corps, Washington Grays, Artillery Corps, Washington Grays) was a volunteer regiment which functioned during peace and war.  The regiment was formed in 1822 and was eventually integrated into the Pennsylvania National Guard in 1879. John Oppell Foering wrote, "Without question [the Washington Grays] have been the parent and pattern of the militia of the City and State, as well as the foundation upon which was erected the magnificent National Guard of Pennsylvania if not of the entire country."

Formation
Some members of the Second Company of Washington Guards who were veterans of the War of 1812, on April 19, 1822, resolved to form a Volunteer Corps of Light Infantry, the color of the uniform to be gray and of domestic manufacture. In whatever civic function, where there was the least degree of military flavor the Grays was always expected to perform its distinctive part, and for over fifty years it stood unrivalled in this respect.

The Corps made its first parade July 1, 1822, with four officers and forty-two men, under command of Captain John Swift.

On June 27, 1827, the title was changed to "Light Artillery Corps, Washington Grays." Based on a silverplate "Soldier's Gratitude" presentation trophy dated February 1832 and crafted by T. Fletcher of Philadelphia, L.G.Childs Esq. was their "Late Commander". Fifteen years later, on June 3, 1843, the title was again changed to that of "Artillery Corps, Washington Grays."

The Washington Grays served in the Philadelphia nativist riots of January 1844, and in the Kensington and Southwark riots in May and July of the same year. In 1846 the Corps tendered its services, through the Governor of Pennsylvania, to the President of the United States, as United States infantry during the Mexican–American War. The tender was not accepted, but five members of the Corps served as officers in the Regular and Volunteer Army.

The Corps acted as a guard of honor for the remains of ex-President John Quincy Adams, while lying in state in Independence Hall, March 7, 1848. The last and most important event in which the Corps participated, just before the breakout of hostilities in 1861, was the firing of the salute at the raising of the first thirty-four-star United States flag over Independence Hall, by President-elect Abraham Lincoln, on the morning of February 22, 1861.

American Civil War
The American Civil War broke out when Fort Sumter was fired upon on Friday, April 12, 1861, and capitulated on Sunday the 14th with no lives lost. The President issued his proclamation calling for seventy-five thousand men to deny Southern independence and defend the Union. The Grays held a meeting and resolved to offer its services at once and recruit the unit to its full strength. It was determined to form two companies.

The two companies which were attached to the Seventeenth Pennsylvania Volunteers, commanded by Colonel Frank E. Patterson. There was delay in starting because the government insisted that no troops should be allowed to leave for Washington unless fully equipped and able to successfully repel an attack similar to that made upon the 6th Massachusetts Regiment while going through Baltimore in April, 1861.

Forming on the west side of Washington Square on May 8, 1861, the regiment marched to the railroad depot at Broad and Prime Streets and started for Washington.

The Corps, while being largely represented at the front during the war, still maintained its organization at home, and in the fall of 1862, during the incursion of Robert E. Lee's army into the north in the Antietam campaign, organized a company of one hundred and twenty-five men, which became Company "A" of the 21st Pennsylvania Militia, and during Lee's second incursion in 1863 in the Gettysburg campaign, on June 30, organized a full Company "A," and part of Company "B", for the 49th Pennsylvania Militia.

The Corps was incorporated April 15, 1867. The regiment served in the railroad riots at Pittsburgh and Scranton in 1877.

National Guard
In February 1878, when the National Guard of Pennsylvania was being organized, the Corps was increased to a battalion of four companies. Company "A," the original company, was divided, part of it forming the nucleus of Company "D." On July 31, 1879, the battalion was consolidated with the Weccacoe Legion Battalion and formed the Third Regiment N. G. of Pennsylvania. On December 11, 1879, the Governor issued an order consolidating companies "A" and "D" of the Third Regiment, and assigning the consolidated company to the First Regiment N. G. of Pa., as Company "G." At the same time, the "Artillery Corps, Washington Grays," disappeared from history as a separate and independent military organization. The First Regiment NG is perpetuated by the 103rd Engineer Battalion.

Zehnder long has been a leader in the mechanical ventilation field, helping improve the indoor air quality for both residential and commercial environments.
Continued demand by consumers for new, efficient ways to optimize air quality drives how the company develops its latest and future product lines, Ray Bolger, general manager for Zehnder America, said at AHR Expo 2018.
Zehnder also uses research on the benefits of good indoor air to determine what components those units should include and how they should function within an application.
"It's not just about energy efficiency, it's also the comfort and health these systems provide," Bolger said.
Energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) and heat recovery ventilators (HRVs) – the key parts of Zehnder's Comfosystems line – are becoming more commonplace in structural HVAC systems, particularly as homes and building envelopes become tighter.
The annual AHR Expo for Zehnder, like it is for many companies with booths set up on event's expansive show floor, proves a vital chance to connect with customers and prospects.
"It's a great showcase," Bolger said. "It's fantastic to see what everyone else is doing. It's nice to talk to people to see where we should be going and what's working. Even with competitors, it's nice to sit down with them and chat about the industry.

There has been a large amount of attention focused on high intensity interval training in the fitness arena and with good reason. HIIT is effective and can result in rapid fitness gains. Recent studies have found that only 20 minutes of HIIT can cause changes in aerobic endurance that would normally take months of traditional steady state cardio workouts of 30 to 60 minutes per day. High intensity exercise increases the use of fat for fuel and releases fat from fat cells. It also results in an increased metabolic rate after exercise.
HIIT involves timed intervals, intensity or speed with each interval, repetition of intervals, and periods of rest between the intervals. However, high intensity interval training does come with a certain amount of risk. Overtraining or a lack of proper conditioning in unfit individuals can result in injury. Thus, it is always a good idea to start gradually and to cut back on HIIT if you are overly fatigued or sore. Combining HIIT with lower intensity steady state cardio sessions is a good option for increasing metabolic rate while reducing the risk of injuries.
One of my favorite techniques for HIIT is to perform a ladder format where each interval segment becomes increasingly difficult until I reach the highest peak. Once I reach the peak, I then reverse the order of the intervals and work my way back down the ladder. Here is one of my favorite ladder HIIT workouts on the stair stepper. Ladder workouts can be intense. So adjust the levels and interval times as needed to suit your fitness needs.

I have a "Request" Entity with an 1..* relationship to the "RequestProperty" Entity. So there's a collection of RequestProperty objects in "Request". When I update a "Request" I want to delete all items in the RequestProperty EntityCollection and add the new items from the incoming domain object. When I iterate over the Request.Properties collection and call a remove or a DeleteObject on the item, the enumeration fails because the collection has been modified.
Since this is not really "cool" I thought there must be another way to empty a collection of a relationship. Thank you for your thoughts.
The answer depends on the way you modeled your entities. If you are using common independent relation or foreign key relation you will have to use your current approach - I'm using it as well in my project.
If you defined identifying relation you will be able to call just Clear on collection as @Craig described. Identifying relation is special relation where primary key of dependent entity contains foreign key of parent entity.
The example shows Order entity and OrderItem entity with foreign key identifying relation between them. Primary key of OrderItem consists of unique Id and OrderId which is FK of Order table. With this configuration you don't need to iterate through OrderItems and delete each item separately. Simply removing OrderItem from collection will be executed as delete in database and clearing collection will delete all related OrderItems in database.

Bidar: The Working President of KPCC Eshwar Khandre on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on the sitting BJP MP of Bidar Bhagwant Khuba remarking that "he (Mr Khuba) is not fit to even become a gram panchayat member".
What provoked Khandre, who has been selected as Congress candidate for the Bidar LS seat, was Khuba's questioning of the Khandre family's contributions to the progress of Bidar district. Eshwar's father Bheemanna Khandre was a veteran leader of the Congress party who dominated district politics for over five decades since the late sixties.
Speaking at the Parivartana rally organised here after filing his nomination papers, Khandre attacked Khuba for seeking an answer to the issues raised by him. " Khuba has stooped low by questioning our family's contributions? My father, who is a role model for me, has made immense contributions in the areas of irrigation, education, cooperation etc. The credit for development of the district should go to my father. Five years back when Mr Khuba contested the Lok Sabha poll, he was not fit to contest even a gram panchayat poll. And after getting elected, he has done little for the constituency. Has he fulfilled his promise to get a civil airport for Bidar? Or build a memorial at Gorta or complete the railway pit line at Bhalki for which the foundation was laid during UPA rule?. On the contrary he is taking credit for the work done by our senior leader Mallikarjun Kharge. He should lose his deposit in this election, then only will Bidar district get a fair name," Khandre remarked.

Universo Treviso Basket (diminutive TvB), known for sponsorship reasons as NutriBullet Treviso, is an Italian professional basketball club based in Treviso, Veneto. Founded in 2012, it plays in the Italian basketball first division Lega Basket Serie A (LBA) since the 2019–20 season. Despite being a distinct club, Universo Treviso de facto inherited the fanbase of Pallacanestro Treviso, the historic club of the town.

History

2012–2014: Beginnings

Following the Benetton family's planned withdrawal from professional basketball that would occur in July 2012 and see Benetton Treviso without backing, the Universo Treviso consortium was launched in March 2012 with the goal to assure the club's continued presence as a professional outfit. Former players, led by Riccardo Pittis who served as the consortium's guarantor, were at the basis of the initiative.

After overcoming some economic struggles, thanks to the efforts of Pittis, Claudio Coldebella and Paolo Vazzoler (who was named president), the consortium managed to obtain enough funding to create a new club on 4 July 2012, thanks to five local businessmen and the sixty-seven firms involved in the consortium. The new company, managing the club, Treviso Basket s.r.l., was given Benetton Treviso's sporting rights for free, though the latter had earlier withdrawn from the first division Serie A in order to apply for the amateur leagues (as a youth club).
However, the Italian Basketball Federation (FIP), who decides which clubs are admitted into the national leagues, refused Treviso Basket's application to join the Serie A, a decision upheld by the Federal Court on 2 August 2012. The explanation by FIP's president Dino Meneghin was that admitting the newly created organisation would go against league rules and create an unsustainable legal precedent. Meneghin also bemoaned the lack of reaction since Benetton announced its withdrawal eighteen months beforehand and the fact that the two entities did not merge.

The club grown up slowly, winning the amateur Promozione (the seventh division) thanks to support from Benetton Treviso, which transferred them their Under 19 squad and personnel. Treviso Basket earned promotion to the Serie D by winning the 2012–13 championship playoffs.
At the end of the season, the team got a wild card for the National Division B, the fourth level of the Italian championship. Treviso ended the regular season at the 4th place in the group, but it was immediately eliminated in the first round against APU Udine.

2014–2018: Second league's powerhouse
After buying the sporting rights of B.N.B. Corato, Treviso moved to the Serie A2 Silver, the nominal third division, which was soon merged with the second division, Serie A2 Gold. The club also changed its name to "Universo Treviso Basket". Treviso arrived first in the Serie A2 Silver regular season, moving on to the joint Gold/Silver playoffs where they lost in the first round.

In the 2015–16 season, Treviso won the Eastern group of the Serie A2 championship, qualifying for the playoffs where it ousted Junior Casale and Ferentino, but it was eliminated in the semifinals by Fortitudo Bologna. In the 2016–17 season, led by coach Stefano Pillastrini, the team qualified for the playoffs as the front-runner in the Eastern group. The team eliminated Trapani in the first round, while in the quarterfinals it faced once again Fortitudo Bologna, being ousted 3–1. In the 2017–18 season, he ranked third in the Eastern group, qualifying for the fourth consecutive year to the second league's playoffs, where it eliminated Trapani 3–1 and Ferrara 3–0. However, it was ousted 3–0 in the semifinals by Pallacanestro Trieste.

2018–2022: Menetti era
In June 2018, the club hired a new coach, Massimiliano Menetti. Menetti built up a good team, signing important players like David Logan, Amedeo Tessitori and Dominez Burnett, and renewing good Italian players like Matteo Imbrò. At the end of the regular season, Treviso arrived second behind Fortitudo. However, on  17 June 2019, after beating Benfapp Capo d'Orlando in the finals, it achieved the promotion to the Lega Basket Serie A (LBA).

Arena
During the first two years of its existence, Treviso Basket played in the Centro Natatorio and PalaCicogna (in Ponzano Veneto) respectively.
In 2014 it moved into the PalaVerde (capacity: 5,144), the state of the art former home of Benetton Treviso.

In a surprise move, the National Basketball Association and 2K Sports have teamed up for an official eSports league.
The NBA and Take-Two Interactive Software announced their plans to launch the NBA 2K eLeague, A professional gaming league fully backed by the NBA. The league will be the first of its kind in the United States.
Scheduled to start in 2018, the tournament will be run by 8-12 real NBA franchises. Those teams are expected to be announced in the next few months. Each team will have five professional eSports players.
The NBA has plans for all 30 franchises to eventually have their own league.
Gamers will be chosen through a recruiting process by NBA teams and Take-Two. They'll go through a virtual version of a combine and be selected in a draft, which NBA commissioner Adam Silver says will either be televised or streamed online.
The competition will run in a similar fashion to American sports leagues. There will be head-to-head competition with a regular season, playoffs and a championship match-up. The league will most likely will take place at an NBA arena, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said.
EA Sports' Madden, FIFA, NHL and UFC games have tried to get into the eSports competitions with varying degrees, but the EA has never been able to make a move of this magnitude. Having the NBA teams run the eSports teams gives the league a vested interest in the success of this competition.
This will likely lead to an exposure of NBA 2K's eSports presence that would have been difficult to attain for the publisher on its own. If this proves to be successful then it may see NBA 2K in a position to rival iconic eSports titles such as Starcraft, Call of Duty, Counter Strike and Defence of the Ancients in popularity.
Now let's hope the NBN can get to a point in the next 12 months where we may see a few Australian players named in the competition.

Not a whole heck of a lot is new around here. I've been running still, trying to win this Nike challenge at work. At the time of writing this, I'm about a half mile away from first place, so winning is definitely do-able. I've managed to log about 82 miles so far this month. For you math majors out there, that's almost 4 miles a day. I'm not marathon material, but overall, that is pretty good. At least for me anyway. One thing that I've learned is that consistency pays off.

lately. Not sure why. I guess I'm growing bored of taking pictures of sunsets and the "normal" stuff. Laura and Haley seem to be getting a little tired of posing as well. We did go to Memorial Gardens on Friday night though to take some pictures. Memorial Gardens is a cemetary, but there are some fantastic photo ops in the Crystal Grotto. The biggest problem we faced was that the sky was overcast and it looked like rain. Hardly the environment you're looking for when you want to use natural light. We'd been putting this off for a while until we had an evening where we could make use of the setting sun's light. We ended up overcoming it by bringing our own strobes and putting them up on stands. I covered the flash with a straw colored gel to throw some "sunlight". We only got a couple of pictures because we didn't heed the advice of others and bring bug spray. In the 20 or so minutes that we took pictures, Laura got probably 15 mosquito bites. We packed it up early. At least we got a few good ones!

Battlefield 4: DICE has"identified and eliminated" most common crash issues for PS4, game update set for next week
Following our post just a few moments ago where it was revealed that Battlefield 4 has a one-hit kill "bug"…
By Alex Co November 22, 2013 January 28, 2019 Share
Following our post just a few moments ago where it was revealed that Battlefield 4 has a one-hit kill "bug" that DICE is looking to fix as soon as possible, we now have good news to share — at least for PlayStation 4 BF4 players. In a post on the Battlelog forums, DICE developer "trydling" has announced that they've "identified" and "eliminated" the three most common crash issues on the PS4. Not only that, but PS4 players can expect a game update (patch) next week, too.
We have recently identified and eliminated three of the most common crash issues on PS4 in a hotfix. We will continue to investigate and eliminate stability issues as we find them. We have a game update on PS4 in the works for the week of Nov 25 and will be able to share details on it soon.
This is, of course, a sigh of relief for those who bought a PS4 specifically to play 64-player Conquest. Let's hope that other crash issues and that single-player save-eating bug gets hammered soon, too. Have you played BF4 on PS4 today? How is it so far? Sound off in the comments.

Die -Analyse (auch bekannt als -Analyse) ist ein englisches Akronym für Sociological, Technological, Economic and Political Change (zu Deutsch: sozio-kulturell, technologisch, ökonomisch, politisch).

Die STEP-Analyse ist ein Modell der externen Umweltanalyse, also der Makroökonomie. Die -Analyse listet die Faktoren der einzelnen Kategorien auf, die einen Einfluss auf die untersuchte Einheit haben können. Oftmals wird es von Unternehmen eingesetzt, um einen Markt und die Marktchancen zu untersuchen.

Beurteilungsfaktoren
Soziokulturelle Faktoren sind Werte, Lebensstil, demografische Einflüsse, Einkommensverteilung, Bildung, Bevölkerungswachstum, Sicherheit.

Technologische Faktoren umfassen Forschung, neue Produkte und Prozesse, Produktlebenszyklen, staatliche Forschungsausgaben.

Ökonomische Faktoren sind Wirtschaftswachstum, Inflation, Zinsen, Wechselkurse, Besteuerung, Arbeitslosigkeit, Konjunkturzyklen, Verfügbarkeit von Ressourcen.

Politische Faktoren beinhalten Wettbewerbsaufsicht, Gesetzgebung, politische Stabilität, Steuerrichtlinien, Handelshemmnisse, Sicherheitsvorgaben und Subventionen.

Zwischen den einzelnen Faktoren gibt es wechselseitige Abhängigkeiten, das heißt, dass eine Änderung in einem Gebiet auch zu Veränderungen in anderen Bereichen führen kann. So können bspw. technologische Veränderungen ökonomische Folgen haben oder politische Entscheidungen die ökonomische Entwicklung beeinflussen. Für jede der vier oben genannten Einflussfaktoren sollten bei der STEP (PEST)-Analyse die folgenden Fragen gestellt werden um die Veränderungen und die treibenden Kräfte zu identifizieren, die die Veränderung herbeiführen:
 Welche zukünftigen Trends könnten das Nachfrage- und Marktverhalten unserer Lieferanten/unserer Wettbewerber verändern?
 Wann wird hierfür der Zeitpunkt sein?

Erweiterungen
Je nach Branche kann es sinnvoll sein, die Faktoren zu erweitern oder weiter aufzuteilen.

STEEP
 (oder auch PESTE) ist die Erweiterung der -Faktoren um den Faktor environment (zu Deutsch: ökologisch). Es handelt sich dabei um Werte wie Müllentsorgung, Emissionsregelungen oder die Beseitigung von Altlasten oder auch Auswirkungen des Ozonlochs und der Globalen Erwärmung.

PESTLE
Bei der PESTLE (auch PESTEL oder LEPEST genannt) fügt man zu der STEEP den Faktor Legal hinzu, der sich besonders auf rechtliche Aspekte konzentriert. Diese werden normalerweise in den politischen Faktoren integriert, können aber auch zur besseren Untergliederung als extra Faktor aufgeführt werden. Es handelt sich somit um Faktoren der Gesetzgebung, Steuerrichtlinien, Wettbewerbsregelungen sowie weiterer juristischer Einflussgrößen. Im Gegenzug konzentriert sich die politische Analyse stärker auf Stabilität, Regierungsorganisation, außenpolitische Beziehungen. Das zweite "E" steht für Environment oder auch für Ecological mit dem man weitere Aspekte wie z. B. Emissionshandel, Umweltbelastung und Klimaschutz mitberücksichtigt.

Verwendung
Die STEP-Analyse sollte nicht nur statisch durchgeführt werden, sondern sollte über einen zeitlichen Raum vollzogen werden, um Änderungen und Entwicklungen zu erkennen.

Die Analyse wird von Unternehmen durchgeführt, die in einen neuen Markt, beispielsweise ein neues Land, expandieren wollen. Um einschätzen zu können, welche Risiken, aber auch welche Chancen bestehen, kann die STEP eine gute Hilfe sein. Die Ergebnisse werden dementsprechend für die externe Analyse der SWOT-Analyse verwendet.

Die Kriterien der ISO 9001 fordern seit Revision 2015 im Abschnitt "4.1 Verstehen der Organisation und ihres Kontextes" eine STEP-Analyse.

Last week I was honored to be sworn in as a new member of the Missouri Senate representing the people of the 21st Senatorial District. As I stood in the magnificent Senate Chamber and took an oath to uphold the office I have been elected to, I was humbled by the task before me, but excited to get to work for my constituents.
It is a privilege to have the support of my family, friends and constituency as I begin this next chapter in my legislative career. I would be remiss if I didn't thank my fiancée Michelle, and my children Cole and Amelia, for their support once again as we start this new journey together. After spending eight years in the House of Representatives and serving as your Speaker Pro Tem from 2013 to 2016, I look forward to the new challenges and opportunities my time in the Missouri Senate will bring me. I'm here to work for you and I thank you for putting your trust in me once again.
On Monday our new governor was sworn in on the steps of the State Capitol and ushered in what I believe will be a new era of conservative leadership. The Governor's Ball was held that evening at the State Capitol, and I held a reception in my office to welcome my constituents. I'm proud to report that every county in my Senate district was represented by citizens who came to help celebrate. I urge you to come visit my office any time.
I would also like to use this column as an opportunity to introduce you, my constituents, to the 21st Senate District office staff.
Rachel Bauer serves as my Chief of Staff and began those duties in my office in 2013 when I was elected as Speaker Pro Tem. Rachel has been working for the Missouri Legislature for more than 12 years.
Marybeth Bruns serves as my legislative assistant and has worked for the Missouri Legislature for more than 20 years. She joined our office in 2013.
My team has invaluable experience and our district is fortunate to have them. I have full confidence they will do an excellent job working for the citizens of the 21st Senate District.
In next week's column I hope to discuss my committee assignments and the legislation I have sponsored for the 2017 session.
I urge you to contact my office with any questions or concerns you have about state government so that I can better represent you during the 2017 legislative session.

Alabama voter turnout was third highest in state history
MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) - More than two million Alabamians cast ballots in Tuesday's election, but the 2,065,660 total fell short of the expected record-breaking turnout.
Tuesday's turnout of 61.97 percent is the third highest in state history. The largest turnout documented in Alabama was 2008 at 72.8 percent.
"We attribute that to the lack of enthusiasm for Secretary Clinton," said Secretary of State John Merrill.
Clinton carried only 13 of 67 counties in Alabama, including Bullock, Dallas, Lowndes, Macon and Montgomery. Some of those counties did see an historic turnout.
Of the tri-county area, the highest percentage of registered voters turned out in Elmore County with 69.29 percent casting a ballot, narrowly followed by Autauga County at 65.51 percent and Montgomery County at 62.14 percent. More than 1,500 voters cast absentee ballots in Elmore County, along with notable numbers of write-in candidates and straight ticket voters.
"This was one of the most enthusiastic, exciting, unique elections in the history of the state," Merrill said. "When you see how we played a significant role in the selection of the Republican nominee, who is now President-elect, and the selection of the Democratic candidate who made three stops, I think Alabama has well-established herself as a future stop for presidential candidates."
The 25 counties who demoed new electronic sign-in technology gave high marks. The new technology replaces traditional sign-ins where someone must search for a voter's name for verification.
"In Mobile County, they processed more than 650 voters in 60 minutes," Merrill explained.

This year's theme for the church's Seasonal Window Displays was 'The Nativity'.
Being the Local History Group, we always like to try and link our window display into the history of the village. Therefore, we decided to concentrate our efforts on the word 'Inn', especially as St Michael's Church is positioned between The Hop Inn (formerly The Cricketers) and The Farriers Arms.
Our display consisted of three areas. On one side of the windowsill we created an arid scene with stones, drought tolerant foliage, and spices and almonds, to represent Bethlehem.
In the middle section we displayed a beautiful traditional manger together with a children's Nativity Book, opened at the page explaining that there was 'No room at the Inn'.
The final part of the display created the illusion of an Inn with tankards, beer bottles and mats to represent the pubs past and present in our village.
We also displayed on the wall, further information about The Cricketers and The Farriers.
Additionally, at the St. Michael's Christmas Fayre, held on Saturday 9th December, we had on display, a 'Work in Progress Folder' containing detailed historic information about Inns and pubs in Spencers Wood, Grazeley, Three Mile Cross and Shinfield.
It took the group three years to research and write our most recent book. We would like to say how proud the community have made us by sharing their memories and their initial response. We would like to tell you of the success of sales through events and social media activity.
Our launch event in December 2016 was really successful, and we sold 50 books. In total we have sold approximately 300 books, and will continue to sell at local events over the spring and summer.
The book has been available in many outlets in the Parish – the Post Office and Library in Spencers Wood; Budgens; Caf' Active in St Michael's Church; local pubs; Riseley Tea Rooms; Henry Street Garden Centre; Village Shop at Beech Hill; Waterstones and Amazon; Parish Office in Shinfield and Swallowfield Post Office. In addition, we have donated to many libraries, the Berkshire Record Office and Lambs Lane School. In fact, there are not many places you can visit in the Parish without seeing our book – if we have forgotten your outlet, please let us know!
Budgens have taken 60 and have been the top selling outlet! Well done Budgens 🙂 A huge thank you to Ian Clarke for passing on this contact. This does show how strong the community network can be.
We would also like to share some of our more "amazing" responses.
Maria Antonia Bertoni emailed the group. She is a researcher and was writing her village's history. Maria is an History and Philosophy teacher in a high school "Liceo A.F.Formiggini" in Sassuolo (Modena, Emilia Romagna, Italy) and lives in a small village, San Michele, five Km from Sassuolo. Modena is just north of Bologna in Italy.
Her father, Bertoni Pio, was a Prisoner Of War in Stanbury in 1941, after being captured in Egypt. He was transferred there via Bombay and Bangalore.
He was held as POW 283614 German P.W.W. Bertoni sadly died in 1994. We were delighted to send her a book, and await further memories from her.
We heard from Brian Carter (also via email) who said – I have been enjoying dipping into your recent publication "More from our Village" and find it very impressive and clearly the result of a great deal of hard work by the contributors. Reading chapter 5 I was surprised to see in the centenary photograph of 1937 to see a Miss Bentall from Reading. I suspect she might be Miss E. M. Bentall (Mollie) a cousin of mine now long departed but cannot be sure as the picture is not very clear. Best wishes for your future endeavours.
Have a look at this picture from our book – Miss Bentall is behind the two children on the right – Did anyone else know her?
Melanie Long emailed us having recently discovered she was a descendant of the Swain family, the brick makers of Spencers Wood. I have to say what a great book, I have only just started to read it but I noticed 'Swain' appeared on 3 different pages and I saw the photo of the brick too.
She visited a member of the group, who showed her around pointing out where the brick makers was sited.
