Ruth Davies' Blues Night with Special Guest Keb' Mo'on July 25;
Khalil directs the Oaktown Jazz Workshop two afternoons a week, runs the instrumental music program at Allen Temple Baptist Church in Oakland, serves as an artist-in-residence at the Oakland School of Music, and rehearsing and performing with three ensembles: the Khalil Shaheed Quartet (often including his daughter, Savannah Harris, 16, on drums), the jazz-meets-Moroccan music group cleverly named Mo'Rockin Project, and Redwood Brass, a four-trumpet, one-trombone quintet that mixes jazz and classical music.
The first time Bay Area trumpet master Khalil Shaheed listened to cassettes of North African melodies given to him by Moroccan singer and multi-instrumentalist Yassir Chadly, he had a sudden insight: "They ain't playin' nothin' but the blues!" This revelation showed Shaheed the common ground that his own roots in jazz and blues shared with the soulful, ancient musical traditions of North Africa.
No matter where it comes from, great music can fortify the soul and bring people together. In the Mo'Rockin' Project, a septet co-led by Shaheed and Chadly, the excitement of a funky horn section and heartfelt jazz improvisation unite with the sublime sounds of Islamic devotional music and traditional Arabic and African instruments. The result is a remarkable fusion that captures the essence of two cultures and delivers the best of both worlds, conjuring up "how Marvin Gaye might have sounded fronting Abdullah Ibrahim's band" according to East Bay Express.
Without being overtly political, the energetic, funky music they create dispels misconceptions about American and Islamic traditions, and exemplifies the beauty that can be created when two cultures come together in the spirit of celebration, communication, and love. Describing the Mo'Rockin' Project's sound, bluesman Taj Mahal said it best: "There isn't a vehicle made by man on Earth or space that can give you this beautiful a ride!"

Grammy-winning jazz vocalist Cassandra Wilson became one of the top jazz singers of the '90s, a vocalist blessed with a distinctive and flexible voice who is not afraid to take chances. She began playing piano and guitar when she was nine and was working as a vocalist by the mid-'70s, singing a wide variety of material. She is a self-confessed restless spirit always eager to move on to the next project, the next sound. In a string of acclaimed, best-selling albums, she has expanded the boundaries of jazz by incorporating everything from blues legend Robert Johnson to Neil Young, James Taylor and the Monkees ("Last Train to Clarksville," off her lauded "New Moon Daughter" CD in 1996).

Tierney Sutton Band

During its 15 years together, the Tierney Sutton Band has received 2 Grammy Nominations for Best Vocal Jazz Album, a JazzWeek Award for Vocalist of the Year, consecutive nominations for Jazz Journalist Association Awards, recorded several CDs that made the #1 spot on jazz radio playlists, and garnered critical praise throughout the world. Comprised of vocalist Tierney Sutton and instrumental virtuosos Christian Jacob, Trey Henry, Kevin Axt and Ray Brinker, the band has headlined in recent years at Carnegie Hall, The Hollywood Bowl and Jazz at Lincoln Center and has appeared at the Monterey, Marciac and Umbria jazz festivals. To date they have recorded seven CDs, each resulting in increasing recognition and acclaim. The band's most recent disc, "On the Other Side", was released in February '07 and was hailed by Business Week "A Masterpiece…eloquent, honest and magnificently sung and played." Still, the band's greatest accomplishment is its continuing commitment to unity, excellence and creative collaboration. All musical arrangements as well as business decisions are made by the band members as full partners. A concert by the Tierney Sutton Band is an experience of rare and powerful harmony achieved by humble performers at the top of their game. Critics agree that the reason this band endures can be found in it's music: "Phenomenal rapport"…"the chemistry is palpable"…"telepathic give and take"…"a serious artist who takes the whole enterprise to another level"…"top-flight one and all"…"total connection"…"a seamless blend with superlative bandmates"…"an uncanny display of spirit and unity."

O'Malley.
On June 7, 2010 Abdul-Jalil al-Hakim filed and served a 200 page Corruption, Extrinsic Fraud, Criminal Misconduct, Ethics and "Whistle-Blower" Complaint complete with audio CD on Congresswoman Barbara Lee, State Assemblyman Sandre Swanson, Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley, Alameda County Presiding Court Judge Jon R. Rolefson, Alameda County Supervisor Kieth Carson, Oakland California Mayor Ron Dellums, Oakland City Administrator Dan Lindheim, Oakland City Auditor Courtney Ruby, Oakland City Councilpersons Desley Brooks and Larry Reid's offices, and is being submitted to the Alameda County Grand Jury while California Attorney General Jerry Brown's office refused service of their complaint! You can read and/or download the Complaint and the exhibits here if you choose or go to the website for complete coverage here http://nowtruth.org/city-attorneys-russo-williams-complaint-for-corruption-extrinsic-fraud-ethics/The Complaint is against:
1. Parties to Charges:
Oakland City Attorney John Russo, Mark Morodomi, Randy Hall, Janie Wong, Anita Hong, Sophia Li, Demetruis Shelton- current President of the National Bar Association, Elizabeth Allen, Erica Harrold, Michele Abney, Eliada Perez and the Oakland City Attorney's Office; former Oakland and current San Leandro City Attorney Jayne Williams; former City of Oakland employee Pat Smith; Stephan Barber and others of the law firm Ropers, Majeski; Ronald J. Cook, Randy Willoughby, Alex Stuart, Annette Bening's brother Bradley Bening and others of the law firm Willoughby, Stuart & Bening; William Jemmott now of the law firm Wilson Elser; Todd Jones and the law firm Archer Norris; Daniel Crowley of the law firm Daniel Crowley & Assoc.; Fletcher Alford, Joel K. Liberson and the law firm Gordon & Rees; Sean Robert O'Halloran now of the law firm Crone Rozynko; Anne Brooks Harrigan now of the law firm Grancell, Lebovitz, Stander, Barnes & Reubens; Yolanda Marnell Jackson- San Francisco BAR Assoc., now of the law firm Jackson Alternative Dispute Resolution; the law firm of Caven, Cleaveland, Murray; the former law firm of Jackson Harrigan; John Ratto and Dean K. Beyer, of ASU Group (formerly D. L. Glaze); defendants Rescue Rooter and Bay Area Carpet Cleaning; and retired Judges David Lee, Michael Ballachey, and Richard Hodge; and others.
2. The Charges:
The Parties have committed CORRUPTION, COLLUSION, CONSPIRACY, EXTRINSIC FRAUD, FRAUD UPON THE STATE, SUBORNATION AND SOLICITATION OF PERJURIOUS TESTIMONY, PROVIDING LITIGATION CASE FILES AND EVIDENCE TO DEFENDANTS, SPOLIATION OF EVIDENCE, FABRICATING EVIDENCE AND PLANTING FABRICATED EVIDENCE IN LITIGATION CASE FILES , ATTEMPTING TO DECEIVE THE PUBLIC IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANTS LITIGATION THEORY, CALUMNY DECEIT by giving the case files to defendant Stephan Barber and others of the law firm Ropers, Majeski, and Ronald J. Cook, Randy Willoughby, Alex Stuart, Bradley Bening and others of the law firm Willoughby, Stuart & Bening for nearly a year; then clearly constructed fraudulent fabricated evidence in 1999 and planted that evidence favorable to the defendants in the files SIX years AFTER the case was closed; engaged in spoliation of remaining evidence in the court files from 1991; and fostered witness testimony based on this planted evidence in the al-Hakim v CSAA and the underlying Rescue Rooter case that was created thru EXTRINSIC FRAUD with accompanying testimony procured thru admitted suborned and solicited perjurious acts by John Russo and others, they engaged in actions to destroy the litigation of al-Hakim's legal case; they engaged in actions to coverup their unlawful acts; they committed, aided and abetted this criminal activity with this unpardonable breach in the chain of custody of the court files to accommodate the defendants litigation strategy in both the CSAA and the underlying Rescue Rooter case.
John Russo, former Oakland and current San Leandro City Attorney Jayne Williams and the Oakland City Attorney office staffs' criminal violations of the Civil Code, Business and Professions Code, the Rules of Professional Conduct, and the California Cannons strikes at the heart of al-Hakim's fundamental civil and human rights, and the right to due process under the law guaranteed by the United States Constitution Amendments and the California Constitution. These actions qualify as a Hate Crime under the Unruh Rights Act, the Ralph Civil Rights Act and the Bane Act, while they are clear crimes of religious bigotry and intolerance, as such, this conduct rose to the level of consideration for a Federal Crime and a Civil Rights violation because the City Attorney's Office operates "under the color of law" and certainly the violation of anyone's civil rights is a federal crime. This deprivation of al-Hakim's civil, human and due process rights by the law enforcement body of the City Attorneys' office of Oakland "rise to the level of criminal activity and misconduct" by local and federal law enforcement officials. These criminal actions by Russo and his staff demand they be issued court ordered subpoena to testify.
3. The Liability and Damages:
The Parties have all failed and refused to provide the information sought by al-Hakim, and further failed and refused to appear under court ordered subpoena for deposition testimony twice and under court ordered subpoena for trial testimony and have caused al-Hakim and family to be forced from their $1 million plus home and office, foreclosed from an over $20 million law suit, and multi million business for 13 years thru the City Attorneys' violation of the business and professional codes, extrinsic fraud, subornation of perjurious testimony, committing these acts under the color of law with unclean hands, and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

4. City Attorney, Defendants Perjurious Claim of Innocence
Since 1999 Oakland City Attorney John Russo, Mark Morodomi, Randy Hall, Janie Wong, Anita Hong, Sophia Li, Demetruis Shelton- current President of the National Bar Association, Elizabeth Allen, Erica Harrold, Michele Abney, Eliada Perez and the Oakland City Attorney's Office has always maintained that the City of Oakland case file in the Abdul-Jalil al-Hakim vs. The City of Oakland matter from the 1991 backup were missing and were last requested for viewing by defendant Ron Cook.
For over eight (8) years CSAA defense counsel Stephan Barber had denied that he had anything to do with the handling, disappearance, transportation, having possession, copying or returning of the City of Oakland case file in the al-Hakim matter from the 1991 backup. He has repeatedly stated that he "never touched the file" and "knew nothing about it".
In August 1, 2007 al-Hakim had the court issuance of trial subpoenas served on Retired Judges Lee, Michael Ballachey, and Richard Hodge, John Russo, Janie Wong and Anita Hong to submit to trial testimony beginning September 7, 2007 regarding the handling of the City file. (See Exhibit C) Demetruis Shelton, current President of the National Bar Association and City Attorney employee left a voicemail message for al-Hakim acknowledging that Russo had in fact received the Trial Subpoenas! A copy of that voice mail here. http://www.box.net/shared/88g62hzaky
The requested depositions and investigation concerns trial Judge David C. Lee's allowance of the illegal product of fabricated and planted evidence, spoliated evidence and unclean hands by defendant/hostile intervener AAA Insurance; Cook and Willoughby, Stuart & Bening; defense counsel Steve Barber and the law firm of Ropers Majeski; the other underlying defendants; and the Oakland City Attorney's Office run by John Russo to be admitted as evidence, subjected to testimony, and fostered it's use to prejudice the jury. During the trial, testimony revealed that there were numerous documents and photos of a very damning nature to the defense and AAA as the hostile intervener, that were missing, altered, or incomplete. Retired Judges Lee, Michael Ballachey, and Richard Hodge, though they live in three different counties, all coincidentally hired the same Oakland defense firm run by former Oakland and current San Leandro City Attorney Jayne Williams whom was responsible for providing the files to the defendants initially that was then given to her client Judge Lee for trial by John Russo.
During the recent CSAA trial, in April 2008, defendant Ron Cook admitted on the witness stand that he received the City file from Barber before October 1999. Barber then admitted during the next break that he got the file from the City and arranged to have it copied by AKON Copying Service and that he had said file until June 2000. It was not stolen, misplaced, nor had he absconded with it, it was given to him by the City Attorneys office!!!
As a protective measure for his co-defendants, Judge Jon Tigar had ruled that Barber would have to testify and answer al-Hakim's charges of spoliation of evidence and subornation of perjurious testimony stemming from his handling of the City file if there was more than one case file. If there was ever more than one case file, they were ALL missing and that fact was attributed to CSAA's attorneys by the City Attorney. Clearly, Mr. Barber now has to leave the seat as defense counsel and take the stand as a witness and defendant! You can see video of Tigar's ruling!
Cook and Barber's admissions now corroborates the story that was told to al-Hakim and his attorneys Mike Michel and Jeff Fackler in July 2000 by Oakland City Attorney's Janie Wong and Anita Hong. However, since 1999 Janie Wong, Anita Hong and Russo have always maintained that the files were missing and were last requested for viewing by defendant Ron Cook. This statement is also perjurious and deceitful as we now know that the December 1, 2005 written statement by Oakland City Attorney John Russo about Anita Hong leaving the case files at the office counter and no one coming to review them is willfully and intentionally perjurious, deceitful and fraudulent.
The City Attorney has failed and refused to effectively respond and such a non response, to ignore the fact that they have been caught in these illegal transgressions, reveals that John Russo and the City Attorney's office was an accomplice to the breaking of the chain of custody of the evidence that was spoliated by the unclean hands of the hostile intervener, allowed the court to make the file a part of the record, and presented the fabricated evidence planted in the case files and spoliated evidence at trial. al-Hakim asserts that Russo's and the City Attorney's Office and the hostile intervener's misconduct in connection with the Rescue case qualified for "unclean hands" as their actions meet the requirement that, to be considered as unclean hands, a party's misbehavior must relate to the transaction in suit and to the adversary party.

5. Judge John Tigar's Admission of Fabricated Evidence, Planted in Case Files Tainted, and Spoiled by the Hostile Intervener and the Oakland City Attorney
The only evidence produced by CSAA in their defense at trial during the al-Hakim vs. CSAA trial in April 2008 was the two fabricated notes allegedly from Pat Smith taken at the time of the occurrence of 1991 back up. There was no other evidence lodged with the court reflected in the minutes of the hearing. The hearing was held in al-Hakim's noticed absence as he was attending a funeral after a second death during the trial of an over 40 year friend.
6. THE AUGUST 1999 CITY NOTE
al-Hakim had served a trial subpoena upon defendant Ron Cook to produce his entire case file at trial. Cook appeared at trial with less than 15 boxes of files claiming that these were the only ones he felt was responsive to the subpoena. Upon review of the files provided, it was clear that there were just many, many duplicates of the same documents copied over and over without there being any new information provided. al-Hakim had also subpoenaed Ronald J. Cook, Randy Willoughby, Alex Stuart, Bradley Bening and others of the law firm Willoughby, Stuart & Bening yet no one else appeared or provided their case files pursuant to the subpoena claiming that they knew nothing about the case and it was Cook's alone as an unsupervised "independent contractor".
During a review of Cooks files in the court room while trial was recessed for a week, al-Hakim found a document in Ron Cook's copies of the City of Oakland files which was a note entitled "Al-Hakim v. C/O (92416)" with two bates stamp numbers 001323 and 000002 (See one page note under Exhibit C) that was discovered on April 2, 2008 during trial subject to subpoena. This document apparently states a list of "documents not provided to council requesting file", and further mentions "Attorney-Client and work product documents". These notes clearly address:1) conversations between and a one page memo from EFA (City Attorney Elizabeth Allen) to RWH (City Attorney Randy Hall) and former City Attorney employee Pat Smith on August 27, 1999- SIX YEARS AFTER Smith was fired by the City;
2) another conversation between and a one page memo from EFA (City Attorney Elizabeth Allen) to former City Attorney employee Pat Smith on August 27, 1999- SIX YEARS AFTER Smith was fired by the City;
3) Two pages of hand-written notes from JWW (City Attorney Jayne W. Williams) to RWH (City Attorney Randy Hall) and former City Attorney employee Pat Smith on September 3, 1999- SIX YEARS AFTER Smith was fired by the City;
4) Undated, one page hand-written note from JLW (City Attorney Janie L. Wong) to persons unknown;
5) Undated, one page hand-written note from former City Attorney employee Pat Smith SIX YEARS AFTER Smith was fired by the City to EFA (City Attorney Elizabeth Allen);
6) Two pages of undated, unaddressed, nondescript notes for placement into the City file.
For years al-Hakim has asked for answers to the illuminating question of "Where are the rest of Pat Smith's alleged City case file notes allegedly taken contemporaneously during her two years of involvement from 1991-1993 in this case?". There was never any answer because there were no notes other than the two pages of notes (See two pages of notes under Exhibit C) that were fabricated and planted into the City file after August 1999 by the Oakland City Attorney's mentioned herein and at the behest of the defense attorney Stephan Barber.
Deputy defense-counsel Judge Jon Tigar had ruled in pre-trail conference that Pat Smith's notes would be admitted as evidence despite the fact that he noted that Judge David Lee had ruled them inadmissible in the Rescue trial. This is inconsistent with his ruling of all the previous orders of other judges relative to this case, no matter how remote, would prevail in this case and remain in full effect as he ruled on them and cited the prior judges ruling. Perhaps more revealing is that ALL those orders that he ruled on with the alleged support of previous judges orders were ALL against al-Hakim's interest. During pre-trial conference al-Hakim had stated to the court that the defendants could not and would not produce any of the witnesses from the Rescue trial and none would appear at this trial because they all were known to have committed perjury. During the trial Defense counsel Barber stated to the court that he had tried to locate Pat Smith at the City of San Francisco but she no longer worked there and requested of the court that Pat Smith be allowed to testify through her notes and the Rescue transcript. al-Hakim raised the issue that the defendants had not provided any proof of their efforts to locate and serve Smith and alleging that they merely tried to reach her at her former place of employment was not enough. Tigar stated that he had read the Rescue trial testimony and notes of Pat Smith and would allow the transcript and her notes to be admitted as evidence if there was agreement that she would not appear as a witness. There was never any agreement between the parties on her not appearing as a witness and though Tigar knew there was no such agreement, Tigar admitted her testimony and notes into evidence at trial on August 6, 2008 while al-Hakim was absent attending a funeral for a second death during the trial.
7. Oakland City Attorney Was Aware At All Times Whom Had The Files And Why
Oakland City File Note Refutes Defendants Recision Claim!
This evidence proves that the Oakland City Attorney's Office knew at all times that defendants CSAA, Ron Cook and defense counsel Stephan Barber had the case files, that they provided the case files to them, that Pat Smith's notes were clearly constructed in fraud and planted in the case files by the Oakland City Attorney's Jayne Williams, Randy Hall, Elizabeth Allen, Eliada Perez, Janie Wong, Anita Hong, and former Senior Investigator Pat Smith at the behest of defendants CSAA, Ron Cook, defense counsel Stephan Barber, and underlying defendants Rescue Rooter with their counsel William Jemmott and Bay Area Carpets with their counsel Todd Jones. al-Hakim has previously served several deposition and trial subpoenas on ALL the parties named above and they have all failed to appear every time.
Since Pat Smith was terminated from the al-Hakim v. City of Oakland case for lying, fraud, and presenting false evidence before it was settled in September 1993 and she was fired from Oakland City employment shortly thereafter in 1994, there is no logical reason for her to have had such close and alleged privileged contact, conversations, and the sending and receiving of documents between her and Oakland City Attorneys Jayne Williams, Randy Hall, Elizabeth Allen, Eliada Perez, Janie Wong, Anita Hong in August 1999- SIX YEARS AFTER she was fired by the City of Oakland. As she said at the Rescue trial while being examined by Rescue defense counsel William Jemmott under oath she "required her notes to respond to questions" because she could not remember what lies she had to testify to without them. The notes she previously alleged to have "created those notes at or near the time of the event as part of her claims file" is simply untrue. Her notes and testimony is why the defendants could not and would not ever produce her for testimony at trial and Oakland City Attorneys John Russo, Jayne Williams, Randy Hall, Elizabeth Allen, Eliada Perez, Janie Wong, Anita Hong could not and would not ever appear for testimony at deposition or trial in this or the underlying case.
8. Jayne W. Williams
Retired Judges Lee, Michael Ballachey, and Richard Hodge, though they live in three different counties, all coincidentally hired the same Oakland defense firm, Meyers Nave, run by former Oakland and current San Leandro City Attorney Jayne Williams whom was responsible for providing the files to the defendants initially that was then given to her client Judge Lee for trial by John Russo. (See July 26, 2006 letter from Kim Colwell under Exhibit B)
al-Hakim was stumped for years trying to find "Jane Williams" and was unsuccessful until recently while attending a Oscar Grant Town Hall meeting someone mentioned the Meyers Nave report on the abuses of the BART police in his murder and the general professional and ethical nature of the force. Curious about the alleged findings, al-Hakim did a web search and was surprised to find out that the principle of Meyers Nave and the City Attorney of San Leandro was none other than "Jayne Williams"! From there he found her active in many investigative roles as the finder of fact in case involving high level, high profile, governmental crimes.
Jayne Williams is the managing principal of Meyers Nave and the current City Attorney for the City of San Leandro. While at Meyers Nave, Jayne has served as City Attorney to the City of Suisun City and as Interim City Attorney for the Cities of Stockton and Merced.
Recently, Ms. Williams was retained as part of the Meyers Nave team selected by the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) to conduct a confidential internal affairs investigation of the officer-involved shooting death of Oscar Grant. This New Year's Day incident gained public attention throughout the Bay Area and the nation, and sparked protests that extended for a number of weeks following the shooting. The investigation reviewed the actions of the police officers who were involved in the incident to determine any potential misconduct.
As reported in The San Jose Business Journal's, Jayne Williams, and Meyers Nave were retained by San Jose Evergreen Community College District Board of Trustees to conduct an independent investigation into the allegations of financial and administrative improprieties by Chancellor Rosa Perez. In November 2009 these allegations were reported in three KGO news telecasts and a San Jose Mercury News article. Because of the significant public interest and attention generated by these news reports, the District Board decided that an independent investigation should be conducted and that the investigation report should be made available to the public, to the extent legally permissible. The investigation team, led by Jayne Williams, conducted a five-month investigation into the various allegations and produced a comprehensive report with findings, recommendations and conclusions that was released by the District to the public at a news conference on May 21, 2010.
Their website proudly boasts "Meyers Nave routinely represents public agencies in high profile internal investigations such as this investigation for San Jose Evergreen Community College District and the investigation conducted by attorneys Jayne Williams and Kimberly Colwell on behalf of BART into the actions of all the officers present during the New Year's Day shooting death of Oscar Grant. For more information on this investigation or for assistance with internal investigations, please contact Jayne Williams at 800.464.3559."
"Attorneys at Meyers Nave understand these pressures. In fact, we have earned our reputation by helping public officials find creative solutions to financial, regulatory and legal issues. Our extensive knowledge of all areas of municipal law — coupled with hands-on experience in negotiating and litigating — allows us to cut to the core of most issues and resolve them quickly."
"Our clients include a number of California's most forward thinking cities, towns, counties and redevelopment agencies. Our attorneys work closely with public officials — council members, city managers, planning directors, public works directors, finance directors and risk managers — to help manage and optimize programs and initiatives."

The geography of the Clutha District is dominated by the valley of the Clutha River, which flows southeast from the lakes of Central Otago, bisecting the Clutha District and reaching the Pacific Ocean via two river mouths, one of which is not far from Kaitangata, the other is closer to Kaka Point. The two branches of the river (the Matau and the Kouau) form the island of Inch Clutha.  To the south of this is the rough bush country of the Catlins, with its forests and rugged coastline. To the north of the Clutha valley is mainly rolling hill country, with the plain of the Tokomairaro River to the northeast, along with Lake Waihola and Lake Waipori, which are part of the catchment of the Taieri River.

The remaining area, Tuapeka, was centred on Lawrence, and included the inland valleys of the Clutha River and its tributaries the Pomahaka River and Tuapeka River. It had an area of 2,323 km².

The current mayor is Bryan Cadogan, who defeated incumbent mayor Juno Hayes in the 2010 local body elections, and retained the mayoralty in the 2013, 2016 and 2019 elections. Mr Cadogan's deputy is Stewart Cowie.

Following the introduction of a new performance management process and a review of managerial development requirements, William Hill recognised the need to create a fundamental shift in perspective amongst its leaders to embrace a whole new level of management capability, transforming focus from operational 'task' to more strategic behavioural leadership and development of people.
Full Potential Group worked in partnership with William Hill to develop a number of integrated performance management programmes aimed at providing managers with the necessary skills to effectively lead, influence and coach their people, a practical and relevant coaching programme for the business was created.
FPG worked closely with the senior management team as sponsors of the new approach. To maximise the cost-effectiveness of the programme, and to ensure long-term sustainability, FPG up-skilled a core group of leaders and managers across the business to actively role model coaching. These people worked with FPG to develop their own capability so that they could facilitate the programme as it was rolled out across the business.
Full Potential Group (FPG) initially delivered the programme to over 120 managers before William Hill licensed facilitators to cascade the programme to a further 135 managers over the course of two years. The coaching programme proved very popular, attendance was on a voluntary basis, with spaces filling up within 48 hours of advertisement.
There was a buzz created around the coaching programmes, with many managers telling their peers and senior reports that it had been the 'best development programme they'd ever attended'. The highest performing part of the business has been the area with the highest attendance on the coaching programme. To measure progress in terms of shifting behaviours, William Hill captured information via questionnaires completed before, during and after each coaching workshop to gauge how much time managers were spending on the doing and how much time they were spending on managing.

A pill is being developed to stop people craving alcohol, in what could spell an end to the habit of having a bottle of wine with dinner.
Scientists in Hull are reaching the final stages of testing the pill, which could hit the market in 2020.
The drug, which is being created by FTSE 250-listed company Indivior, works by surpassing the buzz that people feel when they have an alcoholic drink.
The pill – called Arbaclofen Placarbil – will help alcoholics get their drinking under control. But Indivior is aiming the pill at people who have a few glasses of wine every night and may not recognise they have a problem with alcohol dependency.
How much should you really be drinking?
An estimated 124 million people across the world are thought to be alcohol dependent. Health officials have warned repeatedly that many middle-class professionals are in denial about their alcohol consumption.
Pharmaceutical companies have to go through three stages of extensive trials before they can apply for regulatory approval. Companies typically apply for approval in the US, which makes it easier to win approval in other countries.
Indivior is well into the phase two stage. In its financial report, the company said its latest round of tests in the US proved the product was "safe and well tolerated in a controlled abstinence setting" when given in doses of 240mg.
However, there was significant variability between individuals when the dosage was increased and it is now developing a new formula.
The appeal of Arbaclofen Placarbil is that people do not have to cut out drinking altogether and do not have to go through a detox before taking it.
There is no product like this on the market. The only option for alcoholics at the moment is to take a drug that makes them sick, which has the effect of taking away any pleasure they get from drinking.
Indivior was spun out of Nurofen owner Reckitt Benckiser in late 2014. The company, which employs more than 50 specialist scientists at its research and development unit in Hull, also makes addiction-control products for people who take heroin or cocaine.
A spokesman for Indivior declined to comment today.

Anyway, after the announcement came the press conference, with added Pottermore detail.
The launch of #pottermore will have more than 18,000 words from J.K. Rowling, but that is only a third of what she has written so far.
#pottermore: you will follow the story, get sorted into a house and get a wand (one of 33,000 possibles) – all crafted by JKR.
It would appear that #pottermore is part the Scottish Book [the long-hoped-for Potter encyclopedia], part storefront for digital books and part social network. But all Owlery.
I would add… part immersive game. Members get sorted into a house, get a wand, and who knows what else?
Here is a complete write up on Wired.
Anyway, new information may come all day. So let's take a look at some pictures from Pottermore. The pics are most likely proprietary (and are way too large to embed on the page… believe me, I've tried!), so I'm providing just the links. But the pics are fairly breathtaking, so enjoy!

Q: Send environment variables in Ubuntu Hosts with powershell (Azure DevOps) I'm facing problems when I try to send an Environment variable between tasks using Powershell and Ubuntu hosts in Azure DevOps build pipelines.
To test and show this issue I have created a pipeline with the following:
-Two tasks are created, the first one is writing an environment variable:
$EnvVariable= "Value"

Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=EnvVariable;]$EnvVariable"

Write-Output "##vso[task.setvariable variable=EnvVariable;]$EnvVariable"

-The second Task is printing this value in the output:
Write-Host "env:EnvVariable : $($env:EnvVariable)"

Write-Host "ENV:EnvVariable : $($ENV:EnvVariable)"

Write-Output "env:EnvVariable : $($env:EnvVariable)"

Write-Output "ENV:EnvVariable : $($ENV:EnvVariable)"

-The output from this pipeline is looking good in Windows hosts, for example, using "vs2017-win2016" host I get this output:
env:EnvVariable : Value
ENV:EnvVariable : Value
env:EnvVariable : Value
ENV:EnvVariable : Value

-But when I execute this same pipeline in ubuntu hosts I'm not getting the expected output, here you have the output from second task executed in "ubuntu-18.04" build host:
env:EnvVariable :
ENV:EnvVariable :
env:EnvVariable :
ENV:EnvVariable :

As you can see there are no values from environment variable using the same tasks but in ubuntu hosts.
Just to double-check I've used Write-Output and Write-Host to check if the problem is caused by the requirement to use one of those and used env: and ENV: just to check if the case-sensitive variable name is the cause.
Thanks a lot for your time.

A: If you don't want to use env section you need to use upper case for Linux based agents:
- task: PowerShell@2
  displayName: Set Variables
  name: setVariables
  inputs:
    targetType: 'inline'
    pwsh: true
    script: |
      $EnvVariable= "Value"

      Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=EnvVariable;]$EnvVariable"

      Write-Output "##vso[task.setvariable variable=EnvVariable;]$EnvVariable"

- task: PowerShell@2
  displayName: Read variables 0
  inputs:
    targetType: 'inline'
    pwsh: true
    script: |
      Write-Host "env:EnvVariable : $($env:ENVVARIABLE)"

      Write-Host "ENV:EnvVariable : $($ENV:ENVVARIABLE)"

      Write-Output "env:EnvVariable : $($env:ENVVARIABLE)"

      Write-Output "ENV:EnvVariable : $($ENV:ENVVARIABLE)"

- task: PowerShell@2
  displayName: Read variables 2
  env:
    EnvVariable: $(EnvVariable)
  inputs:
    targetType: 'inline'
    pwsh: true
    script: |
      Write-Host "env:EnvVariable : $($env:EnvVariable)"

      Write-Host "ENV:EnvVariable : $($ENV:EnvVariable)"

      Write-Output "env:EnvVariable : $($env:EnvVariable)"

      Write-Output "ENV:EnvVariable : $($ENV:EnvVariable)"

A:
I'm facing problems when I try to send an Environment variable between
  tasks using Powershell and Ubuntu hosts in Azure DevOps build
  pipelines.

According to Environment variables:
On UNIX systems (macOS and Linux), environment variables have the format $NAME. On Windows, the format is %NAME% for batch and $env:NAME in PowerShell.
So what you met is expected behavior according to the document.
And to work for both Windows and Linux, I suggest using format $(EnvVariable).
Details:
The difference when you set the variable EnvVariable:

*

*In Linux using Powershell task you should use $env:ENVVARIABLE. Also it works for Powershell task in Windows, but it doesn't work in CMD/bash task.

*In Linux using bash task you should use $ENVVARIABLE, but it can't work in PS task.

*In both Linux and Windows, no matter bash task, cmd task or powershell task, you can use $(EnvVariable).

With today's vast range of options, how does one decide what is the best hearing aid?
The first step is a comprehensive assessment of your hearing loss and communication needs and then a full discussion with a skilled professional of the goals you want to achieve. The range of suitable devices will be narrowed by the type and degree of hearing loss. For example, severe and profound losses require more powerful devices which will usually be larger. Your lifestyle and the specific situations in which you would like assistance from the hearing aid will further identify options for consideration. If you lead a very busy life and find yourself in many challenging listening environments with lots of noise and people, then your needs will likely be quite different from someone who likes to live the quiet life, listen to the radio and garden. Sometimes ear health, comfort and personal preference will help determine the style of the hearing aid (eg, behind the ear, in the ear, in the canal, open fitting). Then budget and management of the aid need to be considered: do you want a remote control or would you like the hearing aid to do most of the work?
Do you want to be able to connect the hearing aid to the TV, mobile phone or laptop via Blue Tooth or a streamer? Your audiologist will make a recommendation based on all these factors, so try to think about what your needs are before your appointment and have a list of questions ready to make sure you come out with the device that is right for you.

Q: Renaming multiple files in a folder by adding Prefix using python Python script.

import os
[os.rename(f, f.replace('', 'xyz_')) for f in os.listdir('.')
if not f.startswith('.')]

from above script i want to rename the files as
Before
1.0.1.0.html
1.20.0.0.html
1.11.1.0.html
1.10.1.0.html

after renaming,
xyz_1.0.1.0.html
xyz_1.20.0.0.html
xyz_1.11.1.0.html
xyz_1.10.1.0.html

Is it possible,can anyone help me out.

A: You can use glob to find all the html files:
from glob import glob
import os
pre = "xyz_"
[os.rename(f, "{}{}".format(pre, f)) for f in glob("*.html")]

html files starting with a . should be ignored as glob treats filenames beginning with a dot (.) as special cases..
def glob(pathname):
    """Return a list of paths matching a pathname pattern.

    The pattern may contain simple shell-style wildcards a la
    fnmatch. However, unlike fnmatch, filenames starting with a
    dot are special cases that are not matched by '*' and '?'
    patterns.

    """
    return list(iglob(pathname))

A: Try -
import os
[os.rename(f, 'xyz_' + str(f)) for f in os.listdir('.')
if ((not f.startswith('.')) and f.endswith(".html"))]

DOJ's Challenge of Parker-Clarcor: HSR Clearance Does Not Equal Safe From DOJ Challenge
On September 26, the DOJ challenged Parker-Hannifin's $4.3-billion consummated acquisition of Clarcor, serving as a reminder that receiving HSR clearance does not immunize transactions from being challenged, even after closing.
The transaction, which the parties announced on December 1, 2016, was reportable under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. Parker's public filings indicated that the statutory waiting period under the Act expired on January 17 and that the DOJ had not issued a Request for Additional Information and Documentary Materials (commonly referred to as a second request). The timing also suggests that the DOJ did not open a preliminary investigation in the initial 30-day waiting period, since there would have been little opportunity to contact customers. The parties completed their transaction on February 28, 2017.
The DOJ opened an investigation, reportedly in response to customer complaints, after the initial 30-day waiting period had expired and ultimately filed a civil antitrust suit in federal district court seeking a divestiture and any other action necessary to restore Clarcor's competitive significance in the qualified aviation fuel filtration marketplace.
Complaint and Challenge
According to the DOJ's Complaint, Parker and Clarcor were the only two domestic suppliers of qualified aviation fuel filtration systems and fuel filtration elements. The transaction allegedly eliminated their head-to-head competition and effectively created a monopoly in these markets in the United States. The DOJ concluded that the merger threatened to result in "higher prices, reduced innovation, less reliable delivery times, and less favorable terms of service for the American businesses and military that depend on these critical products."
To restore competition and restrain the anticompetitive effects resulting from the transaction, the DOJ is seeking a divestiture of tangible and intangible fuel filtration assets sufficient to recreate the competition that existed in the fuel filtration markets prior to Parker's acquisition of Clarcor.
The Complaint refers to internal company documents that, according to the DOJ, reveal the merging parties knew that the transaction raised serious antitrust concerns. In a document created in the weeks before the transaction was announced, a Parker executive identified "the notable area of overlap" between the parties in "ground aviation filtration" and asked whether the company should be "forthcoming" about this "aviation antitrust potential." In the same document, the executive said the company was preparing for a potential divestiture of Clarcor's aviation fuel filtration business.
Notably, the markets that are being challenged represent a relatively small part of the overall deal: while the parties' combined 2016 revenues exceeded $13 billion, the combined annual revenues for the fuel filtration businesses under inquiry are less than $20 million, according to a Parker press release.
The DOJ's challenge of Parker/Clarcor highlights a number of important considerations that parties contemplating a transaction should keep in mind, including the following:
The DOJ and the FTC can and do challenge consummated deals, no matter how small the businesses in question may be.
The expiration of the HSR waiting period does not immunize a deal from investigations or challenges (although challenges of reportable deals post-closing are still very rare).
There is no statute of limitations on government actions challenging mergers.
Parties should be aware of the importance of customer satisfaction and document creation—both before and after closing—which can affect the likelihood, length and outcome of any regulatory review.

...As I Remember It...: ORDINARY PEOPLE | C01 | "Shower to Shower"
I need a bottle of Shower to Shower.
I push my wagon through the health and beauty section looking for the Shower to Shower. I turn the corner of the hair products aisle when I first see him. A quick glance of instant attraction; the kind of chemistry that draws two people together is aflutter. He is not a "pretty boy" by any stretch of the imagination. In that moment, I realize that I have never seen such beautiful skin. Coffee brown. His shoulders, broad and wide. The way the sweater lay on his chest indicates the body underneath. I'd bet that he plays rugby.
I quickly move past him, looking for my Shower to Shower powder. I love the smell of that powder. I'm not leaving the store until I find it. I am doing laps in the health and beauty section and am still unsuccessful in my attempt to find my powder. I pass 'coffee brown' again. He looks up at me and grins.
Is he grinning at me? I blush and move past him for the second time. I notice that his head is shaped like a football. Very oval. Not round. His legs are hidden beneath a comfortable pair of khaki pants, white low-cut tennis shoes, and a beige light-weight sweater with a thin blue stripe across his chest.
Was I looking that hard? He looked a little lost and quizzical, like he wanted to ask me a question. I keep walking down the aisle and giggle as I realize he's standing in front of the feminine products. Where is the darn Shower to Shower?
As I round the aisle again, my cart collides with another cart.
"Sorry. Excuse me," Coffee Brown grins.
"It's okay. No harm done," I retort.
I suddenly feel self-conscious about the current condition of my hair. The humidity of the day has rendered my hair a birds nest of frizz. Couple that with the aroma of my drying sweat rising from my gym clothes and I am a total disaster.
I begin to maneuver past him but he's stopped still and unmoving.
"Whoops. Excuse me," I tell him.
"You're not excused. I'm not moving," says Coffee Brown with a faint accent.
"I have a question to ask you, if you don't mind."
"I don't work here. I'm a customer just like you are."
His arrogance makes me gag and just like that, I imagine stamping a big "ACCESS DENIED" across his forehead before filing him away in my mind. My 30-second size-up of him was obviously just physical. His exposed conceit is not exactly my cup of tea.
"I know that," he says, with his chin up and his eyes staring down at me.
I attempt to shuffle past him. He moves his cart to block my progress. I look up at him dead in his eye, tilt my head to the left, and purse my lips. A wicked smile parts his lips, revealing a beautiful set of white teeth.
"So do you have time for a question, Miss _______," he trails off, waiting for me to fill in the blank.
"You can't pronounce it even if I tell you what it is," I tell him.
Even though my name is the simplest name you could imagine, I instantly try to think of the long Hawaiian names in my genealogy just so I can be right. Hmmm... I have the perfect name.
"Keli'ikuhalahala. Try that," I respond.
He repeats after me. My great, great, great, great grandfather's name rolls off his tongue. Surprised, I pull my cart back, shrug my shoulders, and step around him.
I turn around to see if he's following me and watch him, with his back turned already, walk away from me. Weird! I roll my eyes and wonder what just went down. I make my way to the check out, thoroughly frustrated that I didn't find the Shower to Shower but more frustrated by my interaction with 'coffee brown'.
As I'm loading my car, I hear a motorcycle pull up to me. I look up expecting to see 'coffee brown'. He has invaded my thoughts in such a short period of time. At first, it was the sight of him in front of the feminine products that caught my attention in a good way. Then, his arrogance irritated me. Top it off, he walks away from me after our little interaction.
I turn to see who has pulled up next to me and find 'coffee brown'. In his hand is a single, yellow rose.
"Miss Keli'ikuhalahala, this is for you," he says.
He hands me the rose, revs his engine then takes off.
My mouth is agape as I stand there with this yellow rose in my hand. I notice a few people stare and grin at whatever they just witnessed. I don't know how the audience interprets the exchange between 'coffee brown' and I but my brain is reeling. I watch him ride away. I don't know his name. I know nothing about him except for my very confusing first impression.
I sit in my car thinking about the last thirty minutes. What just happened? Why am I sitting here in utter disbelief about the events that have transpired. My hunt for Shower to Shower resulted in a yellow rose from a complete stranger. The mystery of him takes root in my mind and I wonder when our paths will cross again.


walk toward the shining of her light.
nor tread the paths of discipline in his righteousness.
and had no pity for a child.
and bereaved the lonely woman of her daughters.
17"But I, how can I help you?
will deliver you from the hand of your enemies.
for I have been left desolate.
I will cry to the Everlasting all my days.
and with the splendor of the Everlasting.
25My children, endure with patience the wrath that has come upon you from God.
will bring you everlasting joy with your salvation."
for he who named you will comfort you.
and rejoiced at your fall.
wretched will be the city which received your sons.

The electromagnetic spectrum has no theoretical limit at either end. … At the other end of the spectrum, it takes higher energies to create higher frequencies (shorter wavelengths). That means you are limited only by the energy available.
In general the frequency spectrum for Electromagnetic (e.g light, radio, etc) is continuous and thus between any two frequencies there are an uncountable infinity of possible frequencies (just as there are an uncountable number of numbers between 1 and 2).
At the upper end of the electromagnetic spectrum are Gamma-rays. These "Gamma-rays" have the highest energy content in the electromagnetic spectrum.
This range is known as the electromagnetic spectrum. The EM spectrum is generally divided into seven regions, in order of decreasing wavelength and increasing energy and frequency. The common designations are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared (IR), visible light, ultraviolet (UV), X-rays and gamma rays.
IT IS INTERESTING: How can you detect the electromagnetic spectrum?
The electromagnetic spectrum includes, from longest wavelength to shortest: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, optical, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma-rays.
Astronomers use the entire electromagnetic spectrum to observe a variety of things. Radio waves and microwaves – the longest wavelengths and lowest energies of light – are used to peer inside dense interstellar clouds and track the motion of cold, dark gas.
Violet waves
Most of the radio part of the EM spectrum falls in the range from about 1 cm to 1 km, which is 30 gigahertz (GHz) to 300 kilohertz (kHz) in frequencies. The radio is a very broad part of the EM spectrum. Infrared and optical astronomers generally use wavelength.
There is no doubt that short-term exposure to very high levels of electromagnetic fields can be harmful to health. … Despite extensive research, to date there is no evidence to conclude that exposure to low level electromagnetic fields is harmful to human health.
Electromagnetic waves are waves that consist of vibrating electric and magnetic fields. They transfer energy through matter or across space. The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves is called electromagnetic radiation. … The two vibrating fields together form an electromagnetic wave.
IT IS INTERESTING: How are electromagnetic waves used in astronomy?
Electromagnetic waves are those waves in which electric and magnetic field vectors changes sinusoidally and are perpendicular to each other as well as at right angles to the direction of propagation of wave.
As others have said, radio waves are alternating waves, but technically are not AC. It is a technical interpretation of the term AC more than anything. radio waves are alternating electromagnetic waves, not alternating current.

Q: Alternative way to write cUrl in PHP I am trying to  create a service on hook.io  to load token from another API.
public function loadToken()
        {
            $computedHash = base64_encode(hash_hmac ( 'md5' , $this->authServiceUrl , $this->password, true ));
            $authorization = 'Authorization: Bearer '.$this->username.':'.$computedHash;

            $curl = curl_init();
            curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
            curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, '');
            curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json' , $authorization ));
            curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $this->authServiceUrl);
            curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
            curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

            $result = curl_exec($curl);
            $obj = json_decode($result);
            $info = curl_getinfo($curl);
            curl_close($curl);

            if($info['http_code'] != '200')
            {
                // print error from the server
                echo($obj);
                return NULL;
            }

            return $obj;
        }

But it turns out hook.io doesn't support cUrl in PHP . I know it can done directly with php but i don't know how.
edit :
i used file_get_contents now it's give some other error now.
$username = '';
$password = '';
$authServiceUrl = '';

$computedHash = base64_encode(hash_hmac ( 'md5' , $authServiceUrl , $password, true ));
$authorization = 'Authorization: Bearer '.$username.':'.$computedHash;

// Create map with request parameters

// Build Http query using params

// Create Http context details
$contextData = array (
                'method' => 'POST',
                'header' => "Content-Type: application/json". $authorization ,
                 );

// Create context resource for our request
$context = stream_context_create (array ( 'http' => $contextData ));

// Read page rendered as result of your POST request
$result =  file_get_contents (
                  $authServiceUrl,  // page url
                  false,
                  $context);

I have added the error in comments below

A: Actually, hook.io has curl support as far as I know. But if you want to try other alternatives, you can use file_get_contents. It has support for custom context and parameters.
$opts = [
    'http' => [
            'method' => 'POST',
            'headers' => ['Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . $this->username . ':' . $computedHash]
    ]
];
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$file = file_get_contents('http://www.hook.io/example/', false, $context);


If you missed it, read the North Island roundup here.
The South Island is known as the more rugged, more remote island of New Zealand. Our road trip here was considerably shorter in duration than the North Island, mainly due to sparse accommodation options (especially on the West Coast, which is sparsely settled) and higher prices during the peak of Kiwi holiday season. Nevertheless, we've made a large loop around the perimeter of the remote island and have seen many great sights.
Blenheim (5 days) – where we played with flowers in exchange for accommodation. Read more on #1 and #2 here.
Nelson (7 days) – where we played with sheep and took a boat.
Westport (3 days) – the start of our West Coast drive (#3-5), where Santa travels via tractor rather than sleigh.
A one-way bridge also shared with one-way train tracks. Yikes.
Franz Josef (3 days) – glaciers! And finally some snow-capped mountains as seen in in all those promotional photographs.
Wanaka (3 days) – where we frolicked in lavender fields and did half a hike. Read more on #6-8 here.
Te Anau/Milford Sound (3 days) – world famous fiords!
Not every day can be sunny, but these clouds sure made Queenstown look a bit ominous.
Invercargill (1 day) – the southern-most city in New Zealand, just so we could say we've seen it all. We stayed in an old hotel that hosted the Queen (of England) in the 50's. More about #9-10 here.
Dunedin (7 days) – perhaps Insia's favorite New Zealand city, Dunedin was a stop that included penguins, chocolate, and beer.
Ashburton (2 days) – just a quick stop between the drive been #10 and #12.
Banks Peninsula (7 days) – a relaxing stay in the valley where we really settled into the slow-pace of Kiwi life. Read more about #12-14 here.
This island definitely delivered on the promises of amazing landscapes and many, many sheep. However, controversially, we may favor the North Island a bit more for the variety in landscape – from the huge sand dunes of Northland to geothermal Rotorua to the snow-capped mountains of Tongariro National Park – with shorter drives and even more notable roadside views. Nevertheless, we've had some experiences that we'll remember for a long time to come.
Lovely post. South island is simply pure and spectacular! Just wondering tho, how do you create that cool map with the numbered points? Thank you.
Thank you! I mapped the route on Google Maps, then took the image in the Procreate app on the iPad to write in my own numbers.

Q: T-SQL create table and index in one query Is it possible to create indexes(no foreign keys and not unique) and table( not a table variable ) with just one SQL statement like this.
CREATE TABLE tabind
(
    id          int             identity(1,1) primary key   ,
    birthday    datetime        default getdate()           ,
    some_id     int             INDEX index_name, /*this line causes a sql server error*/
    name        nvarchar(100)
);

In fact the equivalent of this statements:
CREATE TABLE tabind
(
    id          int             identity(1,1) primary key   ,
    birthday    datetime        default getdate()           ,
    some_id int             ,
    name        nvarchar(100)
);

create index idx_tabind on tabind(some_id);

My SQL Server Version is 2012.
Thanks.

A: No, the in-line index declaration is 2014 only.
This actually creates the same index though.
CREATE TABLE tabind
  (
     id       INT IDENTITY(1, 1) PRIMARY KEY,
     birthday DATETIME DEFAULT GETDATE(),
     some_id  INT,
     NAME     NVARCHAR(100),
     CONSTRAINT index_name UNIQUE (NAME, id)
  );

SQL Server silently makes non unique non clustered indexes unique by adding in the clustered index key (implicitly created by the PK in your case)


It's the end of the weekend, but I hope you all had a great couple of days!
Yesterday, Nathan coached a football camp here at SWOSU in the morning. They've been having great turn outs this year which is so exciting for the program! While Nathan was working on the field, I worked at home building my It Works business! I spent time researching the products, watching videos, filling out strategies, and just getting myself more excited about this opportunity!
When you sign up as a new distributor between now and July 22, you'll receive a second box of wraps in your Business Builder Kit for free! That's a really great deal! Let me know if you think this is something you're interested in!
Ok, back to the weekend!
How delicious does our lunch look? 🙂 We drove to Oklahoma City yesterday and went to one of our favorite restaurants: BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse. They have an awesome "EnLIGHTened" menu that features lower calorie options that are still super yummy! Nathan ordered the Bison Burger and I got the Asian Salad!
It was so nice being able to go out to eat at a restaurant while still sticking with our weight loss plan! It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle!
This morning was church and fellowship! We were able to spend time growing in God's Word by studying about King David and then we were able to enjoy good conversation with our friends!
This afternoon, I spent a lot of time connecting with people to tell them more about It Works. I'm hoping that I get other people excited about these products!
Yes, another salad : ) For dinner, we made salads at home with crockpot chicken. Nathan LOVES Ranch dressing, but I used Skinny Girl Balsamic Vinaigrette.
Tonight is more It Works training so that I can learn more about the products and how to effectively communicate with other people!
Right now is a great time to jump in and become a distributor or to try the products for 90 days at my price! Let me know if you have any questions about which products might help you or how you can turn it into a business!

Lampard hits back at Mourinho over Chelsea selection criticism | OneFootball

Lampard hits back at Mourinho over Chelsea selection criticism
Add to your bookmarks
Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard hit back at Jose Mourinho after criticism of his team selection for the 4-0 loss to Manchester United.
Lampard's first competitive game at the helm of the Premier League club ended in a comprehensive loss at Old Trafford, where Marcus Rashford scored a brace to go with goals from Anthony Martial and Daniel James on Sunday.
Working for Sky Sports, former Chelsea boss Mourinho criticised Lampard's selection, saying more experienced players like N'Golo Kante, Marcos Alonso and Olivier Giroud should have started, while questioning the performances of Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham and Andreas Christensen.
Lampard seemed surprised by Mourinho's comments, saying injuries had an impact on selection in his side's season opener.
"He didn't like the performance of Mason Mount? Is that what he said? Did he? Wow," he told a news conference.
"Well, I can't drag players out of the medical room to play if they are experienced or not, so these are the players that played in a game that we were clearly the better team for 45-60 minutes.
"What was evident that we made individual errors that led to four goals out of their five shots. So there's the harsh reality for us.
"I don't have to be too concerned about what anyone else says, pundit-wise or anyone, they have to speak. At the same time, what's clear is the squad is what we've got and I believe in it.
"If we go in at half-time 2-1 or 3-1 up, as we probably should have done if we were more clinical and maybe had a stroke of luck here and there, the game would've been completely different."
Giroud and Kante were both introduced off the bench, while Christian Pulisic also came on for his Premier League debut in the second half.
Lampard explained his decision not to start the United States international, who arrived in the close season after being signed from Borussia Dortmund in January for a reported £58million (€62.3m).
"Christian Pulisic is 20 years old. He will be a fantastic player for the club. He has got great ability. You saw little moments with his acceleration on the ball," he said.
"But I have also got other options in midfield and in those areas, and I don't want to stick Christian straight into the fire without trying to help him along the way. It was one of those games where I felt it was better to start with Ross [Barkley] and Mason, who have been very strong in pre-season, and bring Christian on.
"If the game had carried on at 1-0, or we were back in the game as we should have been, he would have been a great injection. In the end it was difficult for him because the game went quickly away from us."

Agenda setting role of the media, misuse or...
A GNA Feature by Hannah Asomaning
Accra, Sept. 14, GNA - People do not want to miss the news at 1900 hours on the national television. Similarly a lot of people spend time listening to the various morning shows on radio and television to be informed.
People depend on the media for information and people argue based on what is discussed on radio or television because a lot of people think that what they hear from the media is authentic. The media have a very important role to play in informing the people about what is h appening around them, and this role is known as agenda setting.
It is common to see people discussing what was said on radio in public places and offices.
Unfortunately it looks like most radio stations operating in the country now are not using the agenda-setting role properly. Most issues discussed on radio and television these days is centred on politics as if without it the country ceases to exist. Recently a popular radio station in Accra went so low to use the alleged impregnation of the daughter of President John Agyekum Kufuor as the main topic for discussion.
The two-hour programme was used to argue and to prove whether it was true or not that President Faure Gnassingbe of Togo had impregnated the President's daughter.
The Togolese Embassy in Ghana has since come out to deny the story but the presenter of the show, who discussed it with interest and even interviewed the editor of one of the newspapers that published the story, said he did not see the rejoinder. But what good would this do for the nation when there are social problems to be solved.
Illiteracy, lack of basic social amenities and other pressing issues that could benefit the nation could be discussed to prove that journalists were intellectuals.
In interviews with some people in Accra, they gave this writer the impression that there was so much of mediocrity in the media. Journalists come on air and give out information, which they are not sure of, basing what they put across on hearsay.
On Tuesday September 13, the Greater Accra Police Command cautioned FM Radio stations, especially radio presenters to be careful about their utterances so that they did not create disunity, contempt and rancour. This statement was issued perhaps because a lot of radio presenters talk carelessly about the Police as if they have learnt everything about policing.
"The Accra Regional Police Command reinforces its position that Policemen and Policewomen on the ground sacrificing their lives 24 hours a day combating robbers and hardened criminals should not be ridiculed on radio."
The statement signed by the Mr Jordan Quaye of the Accra Police Public Relations, said it was unfortunate and demoralizing when certain "un-developmental and divisive discussions are encouraged on the radio".
The statement noted that some of the discussions on some of the FM stations "unfortunately sometimes implied that nothing has been done on these robberies, which serve as a disincentive to the Police on the ground".
It urged all FM stations to crosscheck any alleged criminal offence before going public. They should also try to encourage discussions that would unite the Police, religions, ethnic groups, politicians and security personnel in the fight against crime.
It is unfortunate how journalists are rude to people of higher status since they feel they have power to destroy them with the pen. Some journalists go about begging for money with authority and threatening ignorant people that if they did not pay their ransom they would defame them by what they write.
It is time that the Ghana Journalist Association (GJA) organised workshops for journalists to remind them of the ethics of the profession.
Journalists and radio presenters should write and discuss stories that educate; inform and entertain the public.

Lovely truck cab 90 pick-up. Has lived locally for many years. Rebuilt and re-sprayed by a friend of mine who rebuilt it for his son, originally a blue petrol is is now fitted with a 200tdi engine ( 98500 miles ) and 5 speed gearbox. At the time of the rebuild it was treated to a galvanised chassis new front wings and doors. Fitted with factory power steering.
Genuine Boost alloys (5) fitted with Cooper 265 tyres.
Last of the lift up door handles. Its drive and runs beautifully with no smoke from a very strong, simple and frugal engine. Wind-up windows.
Chassis about to be re-waxed.
Some rust at the front bottom edge of the passenger footwell, the drivers side has been repaired. Other that that is in very good condition.
There is some of the famous Defender driveline clunk. I've checked all the bushes, so I'm guessing its the prop uj's at fault, apart from that its in very good shape.
TD5 fog and reversing lights . TD5 front bumper with end caps, 'soft-bull bar and LR 7" spot lamps.
Not perfect but a honest, straight, simple entry into the world of Land Rover defenders or a farm/shoot hack.
