EARN/JOBS VACANCIES
SOVEREIGN'S PARADE
History of Sandhurst
The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (RMAS) in Surrey, more commonly known simply as Sandhurst, is where all officers in the British Army are trained to take on the responsibilities of leading the soldiers under their command. The Academy's stated aim is to be "the national centre of excellence for leadership." All British Army officers, including late entry officers who were previously Warrant Officers, as well as many from elsewhere in the world, are trained at Sandhurst.
The Academy is the British Army equivalent of the Britannia Royal Naval College Dartmouth, Royal Air Force College Cranwell and the Commando Training Centre Royal Marines. The roots of the present Royal Military Academy Sandhurst lie in two separate institutions. Firstly a Military Academy was established at Woolwich (a district now absorbed into south-east London) in 1720 to train cadets for commissions in the Royal Artillery, moving to a permanent location at Woolwich Common in 1806 and being granted Royal status in 1841, subsequently known as the "Shop".
In 1806, the Royal Military Academy also took on the training of Royal Engineers officer cadets and, later, Royal Signals cadets. Secondly, in 1799, a school for staff officers was established at High Wycombe and in 1801 it became the Senior Department of the Royal Military College (RMC). The concept of the Royal Military College was the brainchild of John Le Marchant. He opened the Junior Department of the College at West Street in Marlow in 1802 to train "Gentleman Cadets" for the infantry, cavalry and Indian Army.
The Junior Department moved from Marlow in 1813 into the present buildings designed by James Wyatt at Sandhurst. A few years later, the Junior Department was joined at Sandhurst from High Wycombe by the Senior Department, which in 1858 became a separate institution, the Staff College. On the outbreak of WW2, Sandhurst became the home of 161 Infantry Office Cadet Training Unit (RMC), which moved to Mons Barracks, Aldershot in 1942; for the rest of the war Sandhurst was used at a Royal Armoured corps Office Cadet Training Unit. The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst was formed in 1947 on the site of the former Royal Military College at Sandhurst from a merger between the Royal Military Academy in Woolwich (which trained officers for the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers from 1741 to 1939) and the Royal Military College (1802 to 1939.)
Following the ending of National Service in the UK and the closing of Mons Officer Cadet School in Aldershot (which had trained Short Service Commissioned Officers) in 1972, the RMAS became the sole establishment for male initial officer training in the British Army. In 1984, the Women's Office Training College Bagshot moved to Sandhurst and in 1992 a new Commissioning Course finally unified the training of male, female and foreign cadets. More recently, for the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, the Academy hosted the running part of the modern pentathlon competition. Training at Sandhurst was the subject of a three part television series, first broadcast by the BBC in 2011.
In February 2013, Sandhurst accepted a donation of £3,000,000 from the Kingdom of Bahrain. In return, the newly built gymnasium was renamed the King Hamad Hall, in honour of the King of Bahrain.

The Winter League has seen some inconsistent weather over the last month, but we were able to enjoy relatively fine conditions for our End of Year Scramble & Xmas Scramble which was followed by an enjoyable presentation & meal in the Lime Tree Restaurant, so thanks to all that were able to join us for this.
Winners: Les Broderick, Pat Edgeworth, Philip Farrell and Pearse Daly.
November 26th saw our handovers to new Captain's Shemus Dore & Mags Ryan and incoming Men's President John Hyland. A highlight also was the presentation of an Honorary Membership to Tom Bryan by outgoing Captain Mark Reilly. For those of you unable to attend the men's AGM, the motion to limit play in Golfer of the Year events excepting the Captain's Prize to Sundays only, following much discussion was defeated. Pat Barrett the Resort Golf Business Development Manager addressed both the Gents & Ladies AGM providing us with an update on his role and plans for the ongoing development of the course, facilities and golfing events to further increase the profile of golf at Tulfarris. Pat is working closely with a committee liaison group with representation from both the Gents & Ladies Club with a focus on both improving the experience of our existing members and attracting new members. The Hon Secretary's report highlighted a fall in member numbers down 10 at the end of October from the previous year, however noted an improvement over the past month or two and a pleasing small increase in our Junior numbers. On the financial front the Hon. Tresurer Darren Ash reported on a difficult although improved year, all be it still a small loss resulting from lower membership numbers and Open/Competition income. Members were thanked for their assistance and contributions in regard to our successful Captain's & Crumlin Charity Days in addition to the Members Private Draw fund raising event. Continued improvement with the club returning to profitability this year is anticipated.
In general business, we remembered past long time member & Hon Treasurer Peter Byrne who sadly passed away during the year and took input and questions on a range of club related issues. The afternoon finished with a social gathering with finger food hosted by the Resort Management.
In closing, wishing you and your families all the very best over the Xmas & New Year festive season and looking forward to seeing you all in 2018.

1. What role can the DA's office play in protecting our environment? In what ways will you use the office to battle the climate crisis and the development of Rocky Flats?
District Attorneys can play a crucial role in protecting the environment through their Environmental Protection Units. Typically, DAs in Colorado have left environmental reform in the hands of the Attorney General's Office, but there is no requirement they do so. Colorado law gives DAs concurrent jurisdiction over certain environmental crimes, including pollution. The District Attorney's Office for the 1st J.D. was cited for its environmental prosecution efforts by the Department of Justice in 1993. Since then, however, the District Attorney's Office has failed to adequately protect the environment through its enforcement arm. DAs have the ability to enforce laws against those whose flaunting of environmental regulations damages the property and enjoyment of their neighbors, including the fracking industry.
As District Attorney, my office will investigate and prosecute hazardous material transportation, storage, and dumping violations, fraudulent automobile smog checks, and companies and individuals that commit fraud and thwart regulations at the expense of environmental safety and public health. This includes any developer making false or misleading claims concerning the safety and history of the Rocky Flats area that rise to the level of fraud. Further, as District Attorney, my office will work closely with the Colorado Attorney General's Office, and other state and federal agencies and their associated environmental crimes divisions to investigate and prosecute violations in Jefferson and Gilpin Counties.
A DA's Office can also take the lead in its use of environmentally friendly measures to limit waste and use of energy, to encourage good stewardship of the environment by its employees and running an environmentally friendly office.
2. How have the policies of the military and local law enforcement impacted the violence in our local communities?
Law enforcement approaches and District Attorney strategies have direct impacts on crime and violence in local communities. For the last thirty years and the "War on Drugs," which is neither a war nor an effective attempt to stop drug use, law enforcement has gone through a series of strategies based on such concepts as stop and frisk, broken windows, and a general attempt at punitive consequences influencing behavior. These strategies have not only failed to reduce crime but have also disproportionately affected communities of color and economically depressed areas.
All candidates for District Attorney should be focused on reducing violence in our community. However, the continued use of outdated models of enforcement and the election of DAs who tout their experience within the office instead of their programs to change the mindset and practice of enforcement, have led to a continuation of violence and a 50% recidivism rate in Colorado. Over-militarization of police forces and outdated strategies lead to a broken trust within the community. This broken trust then leads to a failure of intelligence gathering on crimes and a failure to properly utilize law enforcement. This then leads to more violent crime. At its heart, police-community interaction is based on relationship building. When the police are an integral part of the community and have healthy community relations, information flows freely from the citizenry to the police and crimes can be more easily prevented or those that commit them more easily apprehended. A community-based policing approach, coupled with de-escalation in violence, and a focus on preventive treatment instead of merely punitive sanctions will lower violent crime, and rebuild community trust.
Law enforcement and District Attorneys must make progress in earning the trust of local communities through fair and community-based policing and prosecuting. Included in this approach needs to be a shift of focus from low-level "quality of life" crimes to investigating and prosecuting truly violent criminals through the use of strategic gun laws, coordination and intelligence gathering, and the above-mentioned community trust-building. Criminal justice reform and progressive prosecution are about ending the cycle of violence in our community to make it a safer place for all. I was the criminal justice reform candidate when I ran for DA in 2016 and I have been advocating and fighting for these reforms for the last ten years. Only by truly reforming our mindset from reactive to proactive in criminal justice will we truly address violence in our community.
3. What important steps will you take to improve equality and safety in the workplace for all marginalized people?
I am the only candidate in this race that has endorsed the creation of a Worker Protection Unit along the lines of the one created by the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office. Worker and consumer rights are too often overlooked in our rush to prosecute violent offenders and higher profile crimes. As D.A., my office will no longer refer these to the civil legal system. We will, where appropriate, prosecute willful violations of worker safety that result in serious injury and death, proactively investigate and prosecute wage theft, including payroll fraud, employee misclassification, and foreign labor force wage theft. To this end, we will partner with cities and community-based organizations, especially those that work closely with vulnerable populations, to increase reporting and visibility of these often-overlooked crimes. When we protect the ability for everyone in our community to work to feed their families and do so in a safe environment, our entire community prospers.
4. Would you recommend changes in the Juvenile Justice System in the 1st Judicial district, and if so, what sorts of changes? In general, how should the juvenile system differ from the adult justice system?
The Juvenile Justice system, in general, has an entirely different focus than the Adult Justice System. While the Adult Justice system is fundamentally focused on community safety and victim's rights, the Juvenile Justice system is focused on the interests of the child involved. As such, the Juvenile Justice system has much more of a focus on rehabilitation and treatment, instead of a punitive based approach. I will continue and expand on this model including increased use of diversion programs.
My concerns with the Juvenile Justice system have to do with the number of times we remove juveniles from the Juvenile Justice system and charge them as adults. While there may be some circumstances where this is appropriate, I believe the vast majority of juveniles belong in the Juvenile Justice system. We know the juvenile mind is not the same as an adult mind and is not fully developed to consider consequences. DAs also need to support the current reforms bringing down life sentences without parole for juvenile offenders to more appropriate sentences.
Juvenile justice extends beyond the criminal system. Our focus should be to prevent juveniles from ever entering the justice system. While juvenile diversions programs are fantastic, the true need is to ensure that juveniles are not detained in the first place. We know that just one night in juvenile detention results in a massive 30+% increase in recidivism. We need to end the school-to-prison pipeline by providing more resources to schools in the form of counselors and behavioral health specialists. We need to provide better nutrition in schools and homes for young children and address the increase in police contact that was an unintended side effect of SROs in school. I believe so strongly in these ideas that I assisted in the recall election for the school board and served as the finance director of 5A/5B to provide the Jeffco School system with the tools and funds necessary to implement these policies. Running for office isn't merely about what you say you support. It's about what you've done to make your proposed changes a reality.
5. What are your views on gun control, and the red flag law recently implemented in Colorado? Does it need changes, or to be repealed entirely?
I support the red flag law recently implemented and believe the DA has an important role in ensuring that law enforcement follows the law. I've spoken on the red flag laws at various groups and recently defended the law at a candidate forum run by the South Jeffco Tea Party. While the Supreme Court recently ruled in Heller that the right to own a weapon is an individual right, even that Court recognized the right is not boundless and that there are individuals who should be never in possession of weapons. The Red Flag law will no doubt undergo minor tweaks in its implementation, but I believe it is constitutional and an important tool in preventing those individuals facing serious mental health crises from accessing the tools that take their situation from an individual tragedy to a community tragedy. Red flag is designed, among other things, to reduce the number of suicides by gun in this community, and given our incredibly high number, especially our high number of youth suicides, this is a welcome step.
Rep. Duran is also currently running a safe gun storage law which I support in order to restrict access to weapons for teenagers and others not allowed by law to have access. We cannot only address how one legally acquires weapons but must also address the attempts by many to illegally acquire them.
When talking about guns, it is always important to address the connection between domestic violence and guns. While the Lautenberg provisions federally ban anyone convicted of domestic violence from owning or accessing a gun, the enforcement of these provisions has been somewhat lacking. It has been my position from the beginning of this campaign, that I will cross-deputize selected DAs as Federal prosecutors with the power to bring federal cases against repeat domestic violence offenders who continue to possess guns. We know that a gun in the home during a domestic violence incident dramatically increases the lethality of that incident. DA McCann in Denver has attempted to address this issue by providing a full-time investigator to look into persons with DV convictions who possess guns and I agree with her approach. Felons and domestic violence offenders with guns will be a primary target for my office.
6. What is the role of the DA's office regarding:
a.Homelessness
Homelessness plays a large and increasing role in the cases coming before the DAs Office. I have been involved in the fight to end homelessness for years now through the National Center For Law and Homeless Policy and the Law Enforcement Action Partnership. I have testified for the repeal of the Denver Campaign Ban in the State House, and written articles opposing the criminalization of homelessness and supporting attempts to end that criminalization in Denver. I ascribe to a "Housing First" solution to homelessness and believe the prosecution of quality of life offenses for those who have no housing is merely adding to the problem instead of creating a solution. I became a prosecutor to protect society from violent criminals, not to lock up those who do not have the resources to get by and are frequently suffering from mental illness and addiction. I appreciate the recent efforts by Lakewood and Arvada police to have homeless response teams and want to encourage county-wide cooperation in these efforts.
b. Mental Illness
The State Penal system is the single largest provider of mental health services in the entire state. It is no exaggeration to say that the majority of criminal cases involve either mental illness or substance abuse or both. While Mental Health Diversion Courts are frequently cited by DA candidates as the solution to this issue, they are not nearly enough. There are 5,000 felony cases and 20,000 misdemeanor and traffic cases in Jeffco each year. A mental health court can handle perhaps 50 cases at any one time. There just isn't enough band-with to handle these types of cases through diversion courts. Rather, mental health must be addressed at its source. A DA must advocate at the legislature for more dollars for a functioning mental health system and make the case that spending money on mental health saves money on criminal justice. A DA must work with partners such as JCMH to provide services to people identified as repeatedly appearing in the criminal justice system before they are arrested. Police must be encouraged to use mental health officers, as Denver does, and to respond differently to mental health crises then crime calls. Our goal shouldn't be the diversion of a person suffering from mental health crises once they are in the criminal justice system but prevention from them ever having law enforcement contact or being charged in the first place. Once we have incarcerated someone suffering from mental illness even one night, we have made the situation worse. DAs conducting charging decisions need to be aware of the role mental illness plays and charge accordingly, and prosecutors must implement a true, pre-charge diversion, not our current post-plea diversion.
c. Substance use
Substance use mirrors mental illness in how the criminal justice system currently responds and should respond. Once again, we are treating a public health crisis with the blunt hammer of state force and we are then shocked when that creates as much damage as the original problem. The "War on Drugs" is an absolute and total failure and any DA candidate who does not proclaim that cannot be considered a progressive reformer. We need to look to the Portugal model for how a public health crisis should be accurately treated. Furthermore, we need to acknowledge the tremendous damage done to communities of color and low-income communities by the "War on Drugs" and use our Conviction Integrity Unit to redress those past harms. Substance abuse is a pervasive problem across America, but we need to stop trying to address morality with criminal laws and address actual harm. To this end, I intend to use a harm reduction model across all crimes as DA where the focus is on stopping harms, not regulating individuals' personal lives. We must recognize that substance abuse is an addiction and not just an individual making bad choices. As such, in line with the DA's role of reducing crime, we must treat the addiction to prevent the recurrence of the crime.
7. Is sentencing reform needed? If so, how much can be accomplished on the judicial district level, and what will require statewide action?
Absolutely, sentencing reform is needed. In Colorado, sentencing is entirely in the hands of the state legislature. However, a DA is a powerful voice in advocating for reduction or elimination of mandatory minimums, more appropriate classifications of drug offenses, and a continued step away from the draconian sentencing of the war on drugs. Mandatory minimums, in particular, should never be used as a bargaining tool or to force a Defendant to take a plea instead of asserting their rights at trial. Mandatory minimums take away a judge's discretion and force a "one size fits all" solution into inherently individualistic situations. As such, they should be reserved for the most severe of crimes only and never used for bargaining purposes. I was an advocate for the recent reduction in simple drug possession cases from felonies to misdemeanor and the sentencing changes that went with that. When the District Attorney advocates for sentencing reform, people listen.
A D.A.'s real power is in charging decisions and advocacy for appropriate sentences in individual cases. The single biggest factor in someone's sentence is the D.A.'s decision on the appropriate charge and the plea offer made. A D.A. intent on a fairer sentencing structure will institute guidelines for charging appropriate to the level of the crime, instead of merely charging the highest possible crime that the facts could be made to fit. In these charging decisions, the D.A. should consider factors such as mental illness, substance abuse, past history, economic opportunity, and other factors. Many DAs charge the highest possible crime with the intent to plea bargain lower. These charges meanwhile contribute to higher bail, more pretrial release conditions, difficulty maintaining employment during the pendency of the case and, studies reveal, higher sentencing when a bargain is eventually struck. As D.A., I will charge what I believe is fair and just and not with an eye towards plea bargaining.
A District Attorney's mission at sentencing is achieving justice regardless of popular passions. A DA must always consult with the victims but must request a sentence that reaches beyond merely punitive to attempt to stop crime from happening again. Some truly terrible people must be locked away from society for the protection of all, but we must also consider who can be rehabilitated and who can once again be a productive member of society.
8. What life experiences do you feel prepare you to support victims? How do you feel about conviction integrity units and are you willing to start one in District 1? Please speak to your managerial experience.
There is no doubt that life experience plays a major role in both empathizing with and supporting victims. As a sex crimes prosecutor on two different occasions, with numerous sex crimes jury trials, I frequently tell victims about my time liberating Iraqi torture camps and bond with them over terrible traumatic experiences and sights. I talk to victims who are scared of retribution from defendants about how scared I was when being shot at or facing bombs in Baghdad. I talk to parents about being the primary caregiver for my two young sons and I talk to victims of crime about having been a victim of a violent home invasion myself. I am also able to talk to victims having been a defense attorney where I represented victims throughout the process. It helps to have lived in numerous states, to have practiced law both as a defense attorney and prosecutor, and to have practiced civil law. Quite simply, a variety of experiences matter.
I will implement a Conviction Integrity Unit whose purpose is to reexamine past convictions, not only for actual innocents but also for prison sentences that we would no longer consider just or appropriate. In particular, this unit will look for past sentences that no longer conform with our current understanding of drugs and marijuana. I committed to this in 2016 when I ran for District Attorney and it has been part of my platform in this race from the beginning. I was present for one of the first conviction integrity units established by Craig Watkins in the Dallas prosecutor's office and saw what a valuable tool these units are to address past wrongs.
I am the only candidate in this race with outside managerial experience. I learned leadership as a soldier in Iraq leading 9-15 young Soldiers through the streets of Baghdad in search and rescue missions into Iraqi torture camps where managerial and leadership mistakes would have resulted in their deaths or the deaths of innocent people. I have been a supervisor in the DAs Offices I have worked in and now run Sexual Assaults for the 5th Judicial District.
I also have managerial experience as I owned and ran my own law firm, Triple L Law. At Triple L, I was responsible for budget, managing my employees, benefits, accounting, and all of the trappings of running a small business. Being District Attorney isn't just a matter of being another prosecutor. It's running a large law office and understanding there are many different ways to do something. I have practiced in 5 states, 3 different district attorneys' offices, a federal prosecutors office, a military prosecutors office and 13 counties in Colorado alone. I have tried jury trials in 6 counties in Colorado and countless counties across the country. This breadth of experience provides me with a diverse background to draw on in both managerial and practical experience for a prosecutor's office.
9. Jefferson County is currently dealing with budget cuts, which has led to a decrease in jail beds, decreased funding for the DA's office, and decreases in other areas of the county's budget. What are your thoughts about how best to address the serious budget issues facing the largest county in the first judicial district?
There can be no doubt that Jefferson County is facing a budget crisis. We must remember some basic facts though. The 1st Judicial District remains the best-funded DA's Office in the state. It's budget per capita is a little over $38, while DA's offices like the 18th and the 14th are down around $27 per person. Jeffco also has the highest paid District Attorney in the state, at $235,000/year, who is also one of the highest-paid individuals in all of state government.
The DA has a responsibility to utilize the funds allocated wisely. This includes lowering jail overcrowding by implementing bail reform. Over half of the people in the Jefferson County Jail are there pre-trial and have not been convicted. If budget cuts require the reduction of people in the County Jail, the District Attorney should lead the effort to determine which of those remaining in the jail should be reduced to a PR bond. If someone is acceptable to be released on a $1000 bond but does not have the money to do so, how do they become more of a danger if they are released on a PR bond? In short, they do not. I have long advocated for total abolishment of cash bail and a model more similar to the federal system which requires only a release/no release decision. As this would take a statutory and constitutional change, in the meantime, I will look to lower jail population by a re-examining of misdemeanor bonds to determine who is truly a danger and who can be released on PR bonds pending trial. Furthermore, I expect my focus on treatment and rehabilitation in misdemeanor cases and increased use of diversionary tools to contribute to an overall reduction in jail population.
I require Deputy District Attorneys to be trial lawyers, first and foremost. The DAs Office will, like all other county agencies, examine its budget to ensure that all DDAs are trial lawyers and that those with purely a supervisory role are kept to a minimum. Furthermore, the DA must examine its use of county property (such as county-issued cars) to ensure they are getting the most bang for the buck, and only the most absolutely of necessary expenses are funded. The DAs office needs to be a labor of passion for the attorneys therein.
10. Do you support the death penalty? If not, would you work for reform in Colorado?
Absolutely Not. Once again, I don't just say that I am opposed to the death penalty because I am running for office, but I have been publicly working hard to end the death penalty. I have been involved in the abolition of the death penalty in Colorado for the last 5 years. I am a member and donor of the Coloradans for the Alternatives to the Death Penalty (CADP) and the CCDB anti-death penalty lobby. I have served as a guest facilitator for the ACLU on panels to explain why the death penalty is not an effective deterrent and personally lobbied legislators to help achieve the votes necessary to end the death penalty.
I was publicly opposed to the death penalty when I ran against Pete Weir for DA in 2016 and ran explicitly on my plan to end it. I am endorsed by Sen. Julie Gonzalez, the sponsor of the anti-death penalty act in both 2019 and 2020, and Phil Cherner, Past President of the Criminal Defense Bar and founder of the CADP. Finally, I went down to the Senate two weeks ago at the request of Sen. Gonzalez and testified for the repeal of the Death Penalty twice. I was one of only 3 district attorneys who did this, while many more opposed the repeal or remained silent. I'm not just opposed to the death penalty; I have given my time, money, and public reputation to ensure its repeal.
11. What should the role of the DA's office be regarding immigration?
How we enforce our laws is a poignant indicator of the health of our free and democratic society. Therefore, fair and consistent enforcement of the law for ALL people, regardless of race, gender, or immigrant status is critical to our collective success and prosperity. The DA's office must work to recognize and address racial, gender, and economic disparities and implicit bias within the judicial system. Fair enforcement must include efforts to address mass incarceration and the devastation resulting therefrom in economically depressed communities and treat with dignity and compassion the unique vulnerabilities of undocumented immigrants.
Further, the DA's role is to protect victims and investigate crimes. This includes all victims regardless of race, gender, or immigrant status. To this end, the DA must promote an environment where any victim can feel comfortable coming forward to report a crime without fear of retaliation or deportation including by the U-Visa program. It's far more important to prosecute those who commit criminal acts then to report illegal immigrants when they come forward. Those who exploit vulnerable populations are a threat to our entire community.
We must also allow full and equal access to our courtrooms. In order to achieve this, at the request of renowned immigration attorney Hans Meyer, I testified on behalf of his bill to prohibit ICE from making civil arrests in a court building in Colorado. This will allow all individuals, regardless of documentation, access to the Courts and ensure justice for all, including victims of crime.
The District Attorney's Office is not and should not be an arm of the federal government in the enforcement of immigration laws.
12. What is your position on private prisons? Does the DA's office have a role, or potential role, regarding this issue?
Private prisons are an abomination and must be abolished. This concept has done nothing more than to promote mass incarceration, oppress vulnerable populations, and perpetuate racism in the criminal justice system and in our community. The DA can address this in two ways. First, the DA can be a powerful advocate at the legislature for ending private prison contracts. More importantly, the DA can work to end mass incarceration at the local level negating the need for a private prison system.
To do this, as DA, I will invest in expanding the use and capacity of Diversion Courts, including for Mental Health, Veterans, Drug Treatment Court, and DUI. Pre-plea diversions, pre-arrest diversions, youth offender diversions (17-25), officer-led diversions, and restorative justice will play a vital role in the effort to ensure rehabilitation of young and first-time offenders to prevent future crimes. Diversion and restorative justice techniques will also serve a significant role in addressing the school-to-prison pipeline and juvenile offenses. Finally, I will support efforts to fund a functioning mental health system, public health system, housing for the homeless, and a school system in order to address crime at its roots and be pro-active in lowering crime rates.
These efforts will be coordinated with an office-wide review whose goal will be to eliminate unnecessary incarceration so that we only incarcerate those who are truly a threat rather than those with whom we are merely angry.

Sophie, Countess of Wessex to visit remote First Nations reserve in Ontario
The Earl and Countess of Wessex's whirlwind tour of Canada is well underway.
Sophie Rhys-Jones, who is married to the Queen's youngest son, Prince Edward, landed in Vancouver with her husband on Friday, Sept. 12, where the royal couple visited schoolchildren and First Nations leaders.
CLICK TO LEARN 20 FACTS ABOUT THE COUNTESS OF WESSEX
They toured British Colombia for the next four days, but while the earl flew out to Saskatchewan on Sept. 17, Sophie has undertaken a rather unprecedented trip to a remote location.
The countess arrived in northern Ontario this morning to visit an extremely isolated First Nations reserve, Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug, which is only accessible by air.
Over the next three days, Sophie will stay at a modest inn and visit community members' homes, meet the village elders and share in a community feast.
It's an unusual treat for the aboriginal community, which has struggled with unemployment, poor housing and sub-par education. The town hasn't received a visit from the Crown since the treaty was signed in 1929, and officials kept the countess' itinerary quiet until yesterday.
Sophie, 49, said she was interested in visiting a Canadian First Nations' community, despite the challenges of conducting a royal visit in a remote community of just 1,300 residents.

Q: Combine two functions into one Stripe and Passport I currently have it set so a user signs up with just their email and password. Simple and easy, I want them to be able to select a plan from a select element. I know how to access the part of the request I want using req.body.plan if the name for the select is plan.
I have two separate controller functions currently to do this in a bit different way. I have it so the postSignup signs the user up using passport.js  and everything is all good. I also have postPlan that when the user is on /billing and selects a plan then submits the form that they have that plan assigned to them. The part I am stuck on is the User.findById(req.user.id, function(err, user) { part, more specifically the req.user.id. How can I take the two functions below and have them combined so that is sets the user's plan based off the select element in the signup form.
postPlan
exports.postPlan = function(req, res, next){
  var plan = req.body.plan;
  console.log("plan: ",req.body.plan);
  var stripeToken = null;

  if(plan){
    plan = plan.toLowerCase();
  }

  if(req.user.stripe.plan == plan){
    req.flash('info', {msg: 'The selected plan is the same as the current plan.'});
    return res.redirect(req.redirect.success);
  }

  if(req.body.stripeToken){
    stripeToken = req.body.stripeToken;
  }

  if(!req.user.stripe.last4 && !req.body.stripeToken){

    req.flash('errors', {msg: 'Please add a card to your account before choosing a plan.'});
    return res.redirect(req.redirect.failure);
  }

  User.findById(req.user.id, function(err, user) {
    if (err) return next(err);

    user.setPlan(plan, stripeToken, function (err) {
      var msg;

      if (err) {
        if(err.code && err.code == 'card_declined'){
          msg = 'Your card was declined. Please provide a valid card.';
        } else if(err && err.message) {
          msg = err.message;
        } else {
          msg = 'An unexpected error occurred.';
        }

        req.flash('errors', { msg:  msg});
        return res.redirect(req.redirect.failure);
      }
      req.flash('success', { msg: 'Plan has been updated.' });
      res.redirect(req.redirect.success);
    });
  });
};

postSignup
    exports.postSignup = function(req, res, next){
      req.assert('email', 'Please sign up with a valid email.').isEmail();
      req.assert('password', 'Password must be at least 6 characters long').len(6);

        failureRedirect: '/signup',
        failureFlash : true

War of Words: Today's March According to Both Sides of the Divide
By Bubble Staff | [email protected] | February 21, 2018 2:07pm
Today's march, headed up by union leader Hugo Moyano and supported by some unions, has tongues wagging on both sides of the political divide. Those calling for protest have called it a chance for unity among the opposition, while at the same time, the government has sought to downplay the impact of the mobilization.
So what exactly is each side saying? Take a look at some of the verbal volleys that were traded ahead of the march:
Moyano and allies
Pablo Moyano, Hugo Moyano's son, Teamsters Union, speaking with Radio Rivadavia: "More than ever, I think that those who haven't come to the march are cowards, traitors, because it's their workers who are suffering the consequences of this economic model.
"This is going to be a before and after for a government that doesn't listen to workers. Workers want there to be no ceilings on wage negotiations, and an end to layoffs and suspensions. They [the government] tried to discredit this march by saying that it was motivated by other factors."
Moyano also recommended that the government "set aside its pride and listen, that it see the number of [protesting] workers and that in the next few days, there be dialogue, but serious dialogue. Not just a photo-op and a sandwich. All of the workers' movements must be invited so that the government can give us answers."

Roberto Baradel, head of SUTEBA, speaking with Radio Con Vos: "There will be plenty of us who will be going as part of an organized group, but there will also be a lot of citizens going on their own, to express their unhappiness with the government's economic, labor, and social policies.
"Starting today, a new structure for the unions in Argentina is going to take shape with groups within the CGT, both CTAs, unions in the Corriente Federal, and social organizations." He added that it was time to "build bridges" and that "the government should consider the demands being made. Otherwise, there will be more protests."
Emilio Pérsico, Movimiento Evita, speaking with FM La Patriada: "If there isn't any response after the march, we'll have to call a national strike, but we need to do that with a united CGT, otherwise the government is going to screw us over."
The Macri administration and supporters
President Mauricio Macri, speaking as he visited the construction site of a water treatment plant in Entre Ríos: "It is important to strengthen the tools for dialogue, and in this way, build solutions. This is the way, without pressures, without extortion, without acting like the mafia, without seeking privileges."
Repeating that he intends to reduce poverty, Macri said that would be achieved by "working side by side." "That way, we will build the wonderful country that we want. We want Argentines to say, 'how can I help?'"
President Mauricio Macri toured Entre Ríos this morning (Photo via Presidency)
Interior Minister Rogelio Frigerio, speaking with Radio La Red: "If Moyano mobilizes a lot of people today, nothing will happen tomorrow, because society doesn't want marches, it doesn't want strikes. They want to continue working, to progress, to see how they can improve their situation, and they need this government to do well so that Argentina does well.
"We're not persecuting Moyano. The government isn't persecuting anybody, and this is the cultural change for this country that makes us different from the previous government. We've been clear on this. It's a march that has as its primary motivation the personal issue of one union leader who thinks that he should not face equal treatment in the courts."
Ramón Ayala, UATRE (rural workers' union), speaking with FM La Patriada: "The march doesn't make any sense, workers are better off than before. It's a march that is completely based on one sector, the majority has decided not to go because it doesn't reflect the workers' movement.
"Without a doubt, workers are better off now than in the last 12 years. We've achieved great things. We have improved many conditions, even if there are some particular situations in certain agricultural sectors.
"Unity within the CGT is very important, we hope that after the mobilization, there will be dialogue to unite the CGT."

Standing alongside the greatest of all, Zhang Li passes away
Born in 1951 in Henan Province, the most decorated member of the Chinese women's team throughout the 1970s; resident in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, surrounded by her family, Zhang Li passed away on Wednesday 13th February.
Although not a smoker and lived a healthy life, undergoing treatment for approaching three and a half years, she was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer through a genetic mutation in September 2015.

by Ian Marshall, Editor
Only 13 years old, she was selected for the provincial team, one year later she joined the national team, moving to Beijing. She made her debut at a World Championships in Nagoya in 1971 when 20 years of age, playing in an era when the tournament was staged every two years.
Later in 1973 in Sarajevo, alongside Hu Yulan, Zheng Huaiying and Zheng Minzhi, she secured a women's team silver medal, before progressing to the women's singles semi-finals. She was beaten by the champion elect, Hu Yulan. Two years later in Calcutta; then in 1977 in Birmingham and in 1979 in Pyongyang, she was a member of the Chinese team that won the women's team title; the only member to be selected for all five World Championships between 1971 and 1979.
Notably, in Calcutta, it was only the second time when China had won the women's team title; the one prior occasion being in 1965 in Ljubljana; a member of the outfit that won three in a row was ground breaking. It set the standard for the modern era.
Furthermore in Pyongyang, she won the women's doubles title partnering Zhang Deying, having in 1975 and 1977 been the women's singles runner up, losing on both occasions to DPR Korea's Pak Yun Sun. It was a time when China was seeking to promote good relations with DPR Korea, friendship first was very much on the agenda.
Additionally in Calcutta, joining forces with Liang Geliang she was a mixed doubles bronze medallist losing to the Soviet Union's Sarkis Sarkhayan and Elmira Antonian, the eventual runners up. Likewise in Birmingham in the women's doubles event, partnering Ge Xinai, the pair experienced a semi-final defeat at the hands of DPR Korea's Pak Yong Ok and China's Yang Ying; the partnership also underlining China's policy at the time of friendship and promoting good relations with DPR Korea.
Success at World Championships, additionally she enjoyed success at both the Asian Games and at the Asian Championships.
At the Asian Games, she competed in 1974 in Tehran and in 1978 in Bangkok, only two appearances but no less than seven gold medals; it is a record that no player can match and stands to this day. In 1974, lining up alongside Hu Yulan, Huang Xiping and Zheng Huaiying, she was a member of the gold medal women's team; later in the tournament she won the women's doubles title partnering Zheng Huaiying, before concluding matters by being crowned women's singles champion.
Three gold medals in Tehran, in Bangkok it was a full house. She retained her women's singles title, after earlier in the tournament having won women's team gold alongside Cao Yanhua, Yang Ying and Zhang Deying, the mixed doubles with Guo Yuehua and the women's doubles in partnership with Zhang Deying.
Additionally at the Asian Championships in 1974 in Yokohama, she won women's doubles gold partnering Zheng Huaiying, whilst securing silver in the mixed doubles with her future husband Li Zhenshi. Also she gained the same colour medal in the women's team competition.
Four years later in 1976 in Pyongyang, she won the women's singles top prize, having been a silver medallist in the women's team event and in the women's doubles partnering Zhang Deying. Later in 1978 in Kuala Lumpur, she won women's team gold, mixed doubles silver with Guo Yuehua, as well as bronze in both the women's singles and women's doubles events, again in the latter, she partnered Zhang Deying.
She retired in 1979 and married Li Zhenshi, winner of four World Championship gold medals. In 1981 their daughter Li Nan was born; from 1981 to 1983 she attended sports' college before in the latter year becoming coach for the Chinese National Junior Team.
Additionally she was a member of the national Congress for five years, representing Henan Province; she became coach for the Chinese women's team from 1985 to 1991, helping develop such players as Gao Jun and Liu Wei. Following the World Championships in 1991 in Chiba, the family moved to the United States; from 1991 to 1996 she became the coach of the United States women's team. Later in 2008 she formed the World Champions Table Tennis Academy, the first full time table tennis academy in North America
She leaves behind husband Li Zhenshi and daughter Li Nan who is married to Stefan Feth, one of the United States national coaches, in particular the guiding hand of Kanak Jha, a player Zhang Li also advised. They have one son Mika Feth, in Chinese Li Yu Ming, the grandson bringing Zhang Li the greatest moments of joy in her later years.
An outstanding career, overall 26 medals in major international competitions; in particular, the record in the Asian Games underlines that fact. She stands alongside the likes of Deng Yaping, Wang Nan and Zhang Yining. She retired before table tennis was part of the Olympic Games; we can only surmise but surely had the opportunity been afforded, she would have been a gold medallist?
Humble, thoughtful, caring, selfless, a kind heart, her strength unparalleled; she is sadly missed.
In order to honour Zhang Li, donations are requested to be sent to Stanford Lung Cancer Research in her name to fund and bring awareness to this insidious deadly disease.

The latest release of Adobe Creative Cloud offers a wide range of tools to help you stabilize your footage from any source. Mike Griggs offers some tips.
Video content is increasingly in demand; with the explosion of web content, nearly every product needs its own mini-documentary or web clip. Getting smooth footage used to be the purview of professional videographers and VFX artists only. But those days are at an end.
With the tools available with After Effects CC and Premiere CC, both of which come with Adobe's Creative Cloud, there is now a range of tools that can stabilize your footage and give you professional results really quickly. Even if you've never shot video before, it's worth checking out these tools, which can open up a range of new creative possibilities.
Naturally the easiest way to remove footage is to not have any in the first place. This does not mean you need to go and spend thousands on a steadicam. You just need a bit of preparation.
Does the camera need to be moving in the shot? One of the biggest tells between amateur and pro footage is a wavy camera. If you have a lot going on in your shot, maybe the camera does not need to be moved at all?
If you're only shooting work that doesn't need any visual effects integrated into it, many cameras (including smartphones) have anti-shake systems. Optical anti-systems, which stabilize the lens or sensor, are better than digital anti-shake, which is software based only.
Most camera stabilization systems are optimised for stills but an increasing number work well for video, so check to see if your camera is equipped. If you need to go handheld, mount your camera on a tripod with a weight hanging from the bottom; this will counteract any movement. Also don't be afraid to improvise. Wheelbarrows make excellent camera rigs!
If you're working on a piece for editing only, the latest release of Adobe Creative Cloud has taken a lot of the 'magic' shake removal tools that appeared originally in After Effects, such as Warp Stabilizer, and moved them into Premiere. This saves a lot of hassle moving between these two applications.
To apply the stabilize effect, just select your clip in the main timeline, go to the effects palette, use the handy search function to look for the Stabilize Motion effect and drag it onto your clip in the timeline.
A bar will appear over your clip, which will tell you which part of the stabilization process is occurring. All being well, your footage should appear stabilized once the bar disappears.
Of course magic tricks do not always work the way you want, and so After Effects has a range of options to help. The quickest way to access the tracking tools is to go to Window>Workspace>Motion Tracking, where the tracking palette will appear. I usually start with the Warp Stabilizer.
While the Warp Stabilizer tools usually do a pretty good job, especially over shorter clips, one of the drawbacks of the stabilizing tools if they're run automatically is that they can crop into your footage quite drastically.
To mitigate this, whether you're using After Effects or Premiere there is a range of options to help you get the result you want.
First of all, you can tell After Effects not to crop your image. If this does not work you can adjust the way that the Stabilizer works, by choosing a range of options from Warp Stabilizer through to Position Only.
Sometimes it's better to use the other stabilize options, other than the Warp Stabilizer option, especially if you're going to be integrating VFX into a shot. This is because the Warp Stabilizer literally warps the footage, and while this does not matter for non-VFX shots, it can make work like tracking objects into your footage much harder, as the tracking software cannot anticipate Warp Stabilized footage in the same way it can if the footage is direct from the camera.
You can either use the Warp Stabilizer set to 'position, scale etc,' or use the traditional 2D 'Stabilize Motion' tracking software in After Effects to apply stabilization, as well as give tracking data to help you integrate elements into your shots.
While there is a range of excellent tracking tools within After Effects itself, you get another piece of tracking software with Adobe Creative Cloud. Mocha AE is available from the After Effects menu: just choose Animation>Track in Mocha AE.
Mocha differs from the other trackers available from After Effects in that is a Planar tracker, which means it's much better for tracking shapes - for example, if you're doing screen replacements.
Mocha AE can also be used to stabilize footage, by copying the data back as transform data, rather than the more normal corner pin method, which you'd use if you were tracking elements within a shot.
While slightly more convoluted than the Warp Stabilizer tool, Mocha AE is an excellent tool and there are some excellent tutorials available through the After Effects help section.

Why we need sanctuary states
California's law limits the authority of state and local law enforcers to communicate with federal immigration authorities, and prevents officers from questioning or holding people depending on their immigration status or immigration violations.
California lawmakers have just passed "sanctuary state" legislation – the first state since Oregon, which 30 years ago passed a law preventing state agencies from targeting undocumented immigrants solely because of their illegal status.
Other states should follow California's and Oregon's lead.
Since January, when Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered immigration authorities to target "public safety" threats, federal arrests of undocumented immigrants have increased by over 37 percent. California is home to an estimated 2.3 million unauthorized immigrants.
California's law limits the authority of state and local law enforcers to communicate with federal immigration authorities, and prevents officers from questioning or holding people depending on their immigration status or immigration violations. But it still allows federal immigration authorities to enter county jails to question immigrants, and allow police and sheriffs to share information on people who have been convicted of serious crimes.
This is a fair balance. Sanctuary protections like these make sense because:
1. Under them, undocumented immigrants are more likely to come forth with information about crime when doing so won't put them at risk of deportation. This improves public safety and builds trusts with law enforcement.
2. By contrast, turning state and local police into immigration agents invites more crime because it diverts limited time and resources to rounding up undocumented immigrants.
3. Undocumented immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than native-born citizens, so it makes even less sense for local and state police to spend their precious time and resources rounding them up.
4. A dragnet aimed at finding and deporting all of America's 11 million unauthorized immigrants is cruel, costly, and contemptible. It turns this country into more of a police state, breaks up families, and hurts the economy.
We must resist Jeff Sessions and his dragnet. Help make your state a sanctuary.

Q: Wrapper with overflow:auto cuts off table right border How can I use overflow: auto and at the same time not cut off the right border of the table when the viewport is enough to fit the table.
I want to stay auto, because if there are more than 5 columns I will need it to scroll on the right. The question is why when the width is enough, the right border gets cut off?

table {

A: This seems to be because of a discrepancy between the thead (which doesn't have a border) and the tbody (which does).
Try adding an equivalent transparent border to the thead:

Colorless glass was difficult to produce because it required the use of impurity free materials. England starting making colorless glass in the 18th century through the use of pure quartz rock (also known as calcined flint). However, through improved methods during the 19th century, colorless glass was made more successfully and at a cheaper price. It is challenging to precisely date glass, but there are diagnostic tests that archeologists can perform to determine if the glass piece was machine made or mouth-blown, which can help to provide an approximate year.

According to media reports, the Pearl Consortium, made up of Downer EDI, Commonwealth Bank and Cubic Transportation Systems has won the Sydney electronic transport ticketing system. Key to the consortium is Cubic_Transportation_Systems which has provided electronic ticket systems to large city transport systems, including the Oyster Card for London Underground. Downer EDI is an engineering company (the EDI does not stand for "Electronic Data Interchange"). The Commonwealth Bank has experience with MasterCard PayPass and Visa payWave these are contactless payment cards. These and similar cards are now being distributed widely to bank customers. However, it unclear if the NSW will permit their use for travel payments.
Stilgherrian interviewed me on why transport smart card projects go bad.
Can you please explain to me where the complexity is in the Sydney ticketing system (before MyZone), because as I understand the problem, this is simply a lookup on an N-dimensional table, where the inputs are essentially the start and finish of the journey, date, time of day, type of fare (adult/child etc.). This doesn't seem like a hard problem at all.

Rock and roll will live forever – but can it float?
Pirate Radio is the newest ensemble comedy from filmmaker Richard Curtis (screenwriter of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill, and writer/director of Love Actually), spinning the irreverent yet fact-based tale of a seafaring band of rogue rock and roll deejays whose "pirate radio" captivated and inspired 1960s Britain. Playing the music that rocked a nation and a decade, the group boldly and hilariously defies the government that tries to shut them down.
Broadcasting live 24/7 from an old tanker anchored in the middle of the North Sea (just beyond British jurisdiction), Radio Rock sends out a vibrant and unifying signal to millions across the nation, ranging in age from wide-eyed pre-teens secretly tuning in long past their bedtimes to everyday people in need of a musical pick-me-up. The Radio Rock roster, overseen by unflappable station owner (and ship's captain) Quentin (Bill Nighy), includes a risk-prone American known only as The Count (Philip Seymour Hoffman); mystic deejay royalty Gavin (Rhys Ifans); slyly amorous Dave (Nick Frost); idiosyncratic New Zealander Angus (Rhys Darby); the rarely seen Bob (Ralph Brown); the aptly named Thick Kevin (Tom Brooke); lovelorn Simon (Chris O'Dowd); ladies' magnet Mark (Tom Wisdom); shy Harold (Ike Hamilton); reporter News John (Will Adamsdale); and lesbian ship's cook Felicity (Katherine Parkinson). One night in 1966, Quentin's teenaged godson Carl (Tom Sturridge) comes aboard. While Carl harbors romantic aspirations that he hopes will be fulfilled during one of the biweekly visits by Radio Rock's prettiest fans, he also hopes to find out more about his long-absent father…
As the ship sails on and rocks out, what Carl and the freewheeling, free-loving Radio Rock gang don't know is that back in London, landlocked government minister Dormandy (Kenneth Branagh) has embarked on a vehement crusade to silence their signal – permanently. To stay afloat and keep their devoted audience plugged in, the crew will have to band together and trust in the power of music like never before.

About JessicaChuck Moran2020-02-21T15:05:22-05:00
my goal is building better pathways
to health and healing
I offer one-on-one and group mentoring to practitioners pursuing board certification in neurofeedback through the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance (bcia.org). I have 15 years experience with neurofeedback in my practice, having attended over 30 neurofeedback, EEG and QEEG continuing education lectures and training courses since 2004. I earned my Master's Degree (MEd, EdS) in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Virginia in 2007 and became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LPC) in Virginia in 2009. I am co-founder of the Virginia Center for Neurofeedback, Attachment & Trauma.
I began studying Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG) in 2012 with Jay Gunkelman and learned from him up to his retirement in 2019. I currently work closely with Dr. Ron Swatzyna and Linda Walker, and in the past have done one-on-one mentoring with Joel Lubar and Len Ochs.
In my capacity as a board member and past-president of the Mid-Atlantic Biofeedback Society, and through my professional relationships, I enjoy supporting other practitioners in developing or expanding their clinical application of neurofeedback. I have been mentoring other clinicians in various capacities since 2012. I have served as an approved supervisor for clinical interns and residents for licensure as mental health counselors in Virginia, and I was a Site Adjunct Instructor for Old Dominion University's Human Services Bachelor's internship program capstone course for five years.
In addition to studying psychology in undergraduate school, I studied graphic design and fine arts and still enjoy expressing myself through creative and artistic outlets. I am also interested in esoteric and metaphysical studies, yoga and holistic health. I enjoy reading (my favorite genres are fantasy and memoirs) and playing geeky board games with friends.

Electric Brain
How the New Science of Brainwaves Reads Minds, Tells Us How We Learn, and Helps Us Change for the Better
by R. Douglas Fields, PhD
World-renowned neuroscientist and author R. Douglas Fields features Jessica and her clinic in his new book, out in February 2020, that explores brain waves from their discovery to the latest science. The following is an excerpt from the book:
As the name suggests, autistic individuals, can experience a wide range of levels of difficulty as a result of their differences. In Joey's case, even minor changes in routine or in his surroundings overwhelmed and upset him…
But after a practitioner named Jessica Eure treated Joey, who is now eight-years old, things changed dramatically. Joey's mother was so elated, she eagerly agreed to share Joey's experience. "Normally she can only complete one or two chores in a given day because if she does more he decompensates and is overwhelmed," Eure told me, reading from her notes on the changes reported by Joey's mother post- treatment. "Today they went all over the place. He got a haircut at a new salon. He tried new foods at a restaurant. She popped into a new store and bought some clothes. They went to the post office and the grocery store. Her husband recently took Joey to a movie, and to the mall for lunch."
"This has never happened before," Joey's mother told Eure. "He's doing great and he's so happy . . . there are more changes that I'm forgetting—there have been so many firsts."
Joey was not treated with a new drug. His transformation did not come from a novel form of psychotherapy or behavioral modification. Instead, Jessica Eure, and her colleague Robin Bernhard, treated Joey with a new and revolutionary approach … neurofeedback.
openings are available for new mentees in 2020
Contact me to set up a free half-hour consultation!
I'm looking for certification candidates who are dependable, responsive, curious, self-motivated, and excited to share the insights and benefits of neurofeedback with their patients. If you're ready for a mentor who will hold you accountable, give you clear feedback, meet you where you are, and teach you everything she knows, I'd love to meet you.
Sign up to receive periodic emails about neurofeedback and my mentoring program.

In the meantime, my classroom is really coming along! I'm so happy to have time to get organized this year. Settling in last year was such a mess...We were moving into a new school and only had 4 days to unpack and set up before the kids arrived. I was also 9 months pregnant and working in 90+ degree heat with unreliable air conditioning and elevator access for my 3rd floor classroom. It was insane! Then I was only there for 3 weeks before going on maternity leave, and by the time I got back, it was hard to make changes.
This year will be SO MUCH BETTER in that regard. I can already feel it, and I'm super excited about it.
I'll share more classroom pics next week. Have a great weekend!
