Many aspiring storytellers get off on the wrong foot before they even get started. How? They mistakenly think the challenge at hand is figuring out what goes between "Once upon a time" and "the end". In reality, what happens before and after your story is just as important as the story itself.
Before you create your story, you need to have a clear goal for it. Why are you telling it in the first place? Just to entertain? Probably not. Make sure you have a very specific mission in mind and build your story to accomplish it. You also have to consider what happens after your story is set. Who is telling it? Where will it be delivered? What form will it take? Who will be there to hear it? Can it be told more than once, and in more than one way? Your plans for sharing your story (and you should have plans for sharing) directly impact how you should craft it.
And the hero is NOT you. Find a way for your customer, prospect, potential donor, etc. to be the one who saves the day. People like it when you make them a central character in the story you're telling, particularly if they are the hero. Too often, we get self-centered when we tell stories. It quickly turns into a tale about how great we are, and why everyone else should care. Flip the script and put the people you want to persuade on center stage. Show them how they can solve the problem at hand, with your help of course.
ave you mapped your story? Does it have a beginning and an end? A plot? Drama? Tension? Obstacles to overcome? Your story needs a structure, and it needs to incorporate the basic elements that everyone expects to encounter. Otherwise, you're just talking, not telling. When developing your story, go Hollywood and create a storyboard. Take it frame by frame and build your own blockbuster.
You need to link what's in your heart to what's in their head. Your story must resonate. To do that, you must deeply understand the recipient of your story. What are they thinking? What are their preconceptions? I've mentioned this before, but Seth Godin says that everyone is basically looking for proof that they were right in the first place. How you fit your idea into their existing belief structure goes a along way toward making your story compelling AND persuasive.
For as long as stories have been told, pictures have been a compelling way to tell them. Most people need help visualizing concepts. My sons won't touch a book that doesn't have big, bold pictures. Most of us never grow up in that way. You have to make sure that you are using imagery, and that the imagery you employ (pictures, graphs, video) supports and enhances the story you're trying to tell.
Your story has to be consistent and congruent with your organization. When people think you are being real, honest and transparent with them, they are much more likely to listen with interest to what you have to say. Writer Kurt Vonnegut once said that the truth is a very powerful thing, "because no one is expecting it." Make sure you know who you are and what you're all about it. And let that shine through as you tell your story.
George Costanza's strategy was "to go out on top" and leave them wanting more. Meanwhile, Kevin Costner has a history of making movies that are at least an hour longer than they need to be. Too many individuals and organizations bring the proverbial kitchen sink with them, and are still talking long after everyone has stopped listening. To this day, I don't know how Dances with Wolves ends. For once, George has it right. Go out while you're on top!
In addition, it also helps a lot if you study your craft. This means seeking out effective presenters and watching how they wow a crowd. Analyzing some of your favorite stories to better understand why they catch and keep your attention. Practicing your own story until you have mastered the telling of it. I could keep going here, but this is enough to chew on at the moment. In future posts, I'll offer additional tips and also share some favorite exercises I use to shape compelling stories.
Are you telling compelling stories? If so, what's worked for you?


After a number of years under development it seems that the EverQuest Next game which was originally started by Sony Online Entertainment and then passed to DayBreak when Sony broke off the division in February 2015, is to be no more.
Daybreak has this week announced that they are cancelling the EverQuest Next game, which included a sandbox-like environment now called Landmark, which enabled gamers to create buildings and structures which may have been used in the final game.
Last June Daybreak announced that it was shifting focus from the Landmark system to the EverQuest Next game, after it was first unveiled back in August 2013 by the then Sony Online Entertainment development team. Daybreak president Russell Shanks explains more about the cancellation of the game.
It will be interesting to see what Daybreak announces in the near future regards the continuation of the EverQuest franchise which is still seeing popular support for the original EverQuest game and its sequel EverQuest Two. As more details are announced will keep you updated as always.

Mixed-Use Rehab Revitalizes Area
Bank Street Advisors' commitment to redeveloping Richmond brings new shopping and office space to the heart of Richmond's most dynamic neighborhood. Opened in September 2016, 315 West Broad Street is a beautiful four-story 14,000 square foot mixed use building, featuring 3,000 s.f. of retail with the balance being office. Highlights include:
Upscale Retail. Ledbury, a nationally renown, high end men's clothier, anchors the development. In addition to housing Ledbury's flagship showroom, 315 West Broad houses the retailer's corporate headquarters and bespoke workshop.
Historic Renovation. The original building, a former store built in the early 1900s, has been owned by the Ukrop family since 1997. After decades of decline, this pioneering development is leading the way in the transformation of this formerly vibrant urban corridor.
Neighborhood Transformation. 315 West Broad is continuing to transform the 300 West Broad Street block of Richmond's Arts and Cultural District, making this once more a popular destination.
The building has brought over 50 new jobs to Broad Street. The retailer and history behind the location, coupled with the tasteful design and style of the building, is the promising beginning to the transformation of Broad Street into an atelier destination of choice. And once again, Bank Street Advisors is leading the way in both profitable development and urban renewal.

News Tuesday Morning Notes
Metro Says 'Never Mind,' on Station Closure Warning
by Karen Goff October 24, 2016 at 4:30 pm 11 Comments
Metro recently floated the idea of possibly closing rail stations during off-peak hours as part of a wider cost-cutting measure. The proposal to shut 20 under-used stations midday and late night is part of a solution to a projected $275 million budget shortfall.
Now the transit agency is saying it was not serious. Metro now says the map was meant only to illustrate the transit agency's dire financial situation.
The proposal, released two weeks ago in advance of Metro's budget talks, mentioned several Silver Line locations, including Spring Hill, Greensboro, McLean, and Virginia Square-GMU, as well as several on the Prince George's side of the line (Addison Road, Benning Road, Stadium-Armory, and Capital Heights)
The agency received criticism that the Maryland stations, which are located in lower-income neighborhoods, would affect people who needed public transportation most.
Now Metro says it was not serious, reports The Washington Post.
Metro heard from many community members during a nearly 10-hour long meeting on Thursday. Residents were livid, reports the Post:
Following the backlash, Metro said the map was meant only to illustrate the transit agency's dire financial situation. But critics questioned the wisdom of circulating the idea if there was no formal proposal. Some said it was merely an attempt to threaten the District, Maryland and Virginia to contribute more money to close the budget gap. …
Metro board Chairman Jack Evans applauded riders for taking a stand but said he had no problem with [Metro GM Paul] Wiedefeld's decision to use the map as a way to illustrate the budget realities facing the troubled system.
"What Paul is trying to do is say, 'Okay, if the jurisdictions don't put the money [to cover the budget shortfall] in, then we have to do service cuts,' " Evans said. "And what do service cuts mean? . . . It means no bus routes, it means no stopping trains at the lowest-attended stations. That's service cuts. Service cuts are painful. They're not abstract."
Board member Leif Dormsjo said the station closure idea is "not something we are taking through a public process right now."
"I found the map surprising at the time that it was introduced, and I think it contributes to people's suspicion that Metro doesn't have people's best interests in mind," he said. "I think that was probably a good indication of how serious the reaction would be to such a concept, if it was something that management was recommending."
Wiedefeld is expected to release his budget proposal in November.

Today was dedicated to setting up my GitHub account and figuring out how to use it. I wanted to be able to start a project but it took longer than I thought. I followed tutorials on YouTube by The Net Ninja. Also downloaded Atom and CMND for Windows.
The basics of using Git from the tutorial were installing it, creating repositories, staging files, making commits, undoing things, and branches.
I've had a GitHub account since December but didn't get around to actually using it. I just watched educational videos on what Git was and it's importance.
Time to actually start building my GitHub for my portfolio to qualify as a front end developer!

Wide distribution of 10-year and lifetime CV risk in patients with diabetes
News - Oct. 1, 2021
Distribution of cardiovascular risk in type 2 diabetes: results of an analysis using data from CAPTURE study
Presented at the EASD 2021 by: Jan Westerink, MD, PhD – Utrecht, The Netherlands
It is well known that patients with diabetes have an increased CV risk, but absolute risk differs between patients. Novel glucose-lowering agents with proven CV benefit, SGLT2is and GLP-1RAs, can be used in diabetes patients to lower CV risk. The use of these agents is supported in the most recent EASD and ESC guidelines.
In this study, distribution of 10-year and lifetime CVD risk were estimated using the DIAL model in patients in the CAPTURE study. In addition, treatment patterns, including use of SGLT2i and GLP-1RAs, were assessed based on risk.
The CAPTURE study was a non-interventional, cross-sectional study in which characteristics of almost 10,000 patients with T2DM were collected in 13 countries across 5 continents in 2019. The DIAL model is an externally validated competing risk-adjusted model for lifetime predictions of MACE and non-CV-related mortality in patients with T2DM.
In this study, high CV risk was defined as 10-year CV risk >10% or lifetime risk >50%.
There was a wide distribution of 10-year CVD risk in patients with a history of CVD (mean risk was 40%) and in patients without a history of CVD (mean risk was 5%).
96% Of patients with a history of CVD had a 10-year risk >10%. In patients without a history of CVD, only 14% had a 10-year risk >10%.
Similar, there was a wide distribution of lifetime CVD risk in patients with a history of CVD (mean risk was 65%) and in patients without a history of CVD (mean risk was 10%).
80% Of patients with a history of CVD had a lifetime risk >50% and in patients without a history of CVD, only 0.4% had a lifetime risk >50%.
There was no trend for use of SGLT2i and GLP-1RAs by deciles of lifetime CV risk. Use of these agents was similar in patients with and without history of CVD (SGLT2i use was 18% and GLP-1RAs use 10% in patients with CVD and SGLT2i use was 16% and GLP-1RAs use 11% in those without a history of CVD).
This study using data of the CAPTURE study showed that 10-year and lifetime CVD risk are widely distributed. Only a minority of patients receives GLP-1RAs and SGLT2is, with no difference in patients with or without a history of CVD.
Dr. Westerink ended his presentation by saying that shared decision making in the clinical setting can be greatly enhanced by discussions with patients on their 10-year and lifetime CV risk and the estimated benefit that can be gained from preventive interventions.

The Paynesville Area School Board approved a one-year contract for Lorie Floura as the new secondary (6-12) principal at their meeting on Tuesday, May 10.
The Paynesville Area School Board took the following actions at their meeting on Tuesday, May 10.
*The board approved keeping the middle school office open for the 2005-06 school year and staffing the office with an instructional assistant from 7:45 to 8:15 a.m., with students throughout the school day, and with an instructional assistant from 3:10 to 3:30 p.m. This administration proposal came after the board directed them to study a low-cost way to keep the office open for students and parents.
The board had previously approved the reduction of 1,514 secretarial hours for the 2005-06 school year as a cost-saving measure.
*The board approved moving the Community Education staff to the middle school office for the 2005-06 school year. Administration recommended this change to better utilize the office space, which otherwise would have been vacant, and to free space in the high school office. There rooms could be used for student discipline (in-school suspensions), etc.
*The board approved increasing hours for art teacher Kelli Woehler for the 2005-06 school year. She will teach full time next year in both the middle school and high school. This year, she was just part-time in the middle school, but the retirement of high school art teacher Carol Lura led to an increased teaching assignment for Woehler.
*The board approved increasing hours for speech clinician Michelle Hesse-Cremers to full time. Her position was 0.6 FTE this year, but due to caseloads, the position has been increased to 1.0 FTE next year. *The board met with the student advisory councils from the middle school and high school to discuss issues affecting students. (In order to meet with the student groups, the board met at 2 p.m. in the afternoon in the middle school media center.) Among the issues raised by the middle school students was a request to keep the middle school office open.
*The board approved an employee assignment for Sally Heitke as a supervisor in the fitness center.

Pumi is one of the least known ethnic minority groups in China, and out of the 30,000 Pumi people, most of them live in the huge mountains of the Lanping County, Yunnan Province. Due to its relatively isolated location, this small tribe gradually develops their own language and unique culture, and formed the nowadays Pumi culture. Although they do not have written language, they had been able to pass down their history, and keep their traditions through their storytelling, folk song singing, and indigenous religious ceremonies.
Chen Zhe, a famous Chinese musician who had written many popular songs in the 1980��s, founded a grassroots NGO �C Tufeng Projects six years ago. He organized his friends and volunteers to visit the local communities, trying their best to help establishing a mechanism, which provides incentive for the youth to learn from their elder generations. Six years later, Chen Zhe is relieved to say that he now has more than a dozen cultural centers established at the village level, and hundreds of Pumi youth are now actively learning their own music heritage systematically with their grandparents.
Chen Zhe will talk to CCC friends about Pumi people, their music and culture, and two typical Pumi villages and beautiful forest and landcapes.

Some simple truths are just so true. I want to tell you about two truths that I recently realized. The first one is: the only way to change something about your life is by setting yourself small goals. Everybody wants to change their life for the better, to be a good- or a happy person. And when I decide to change and be better I tell myself that tomorrow will be the day that everything will be different, that I will be different. But it doesn´t work like that. Nobody changes over night and changing habits, an attitude or circumstances takes a lot of time. A lot of trying and failing and starting over. Therefore, the key is to set small goals every day that serve the greater objective of changing something in life. Or if it doesn't, it gives at least the adrenaline and the confidence to tell myself: see I can do it, if I can do this then why not take the next step? So, the lesson is that small goals are the key to a happy life.
The second one is: A compliment should weigh evenly or more than an insult and never the other way around. On one day I received a compliment and a an insult. Somehow at the end of the day I only remembered the insult and felt sad about it. Until I remembered the compliment I also received that same day. Why did I forget about it and let the insult have such a big effect on me? So I told myself that from now on I will never let an insult have more weight than a compliment. And maybe, on a good day in the distant futures, I will actually even take the compliment more serious than the insult! Because why not, it makes me happy.

What it's like to be a second semester senior
wlceditorinchief / February 22, 2017
By Bianca B
After completing their first semester of the 2016-2017 on January 27, seniors were ecstatic to finally have the title of 'second semester seniors. This reassures them that they are one step closer to a huge step in their lives.
During this time, many of these seniors come down with a sickness referred to as senioritis. Senioritis causes apparent pain and suffering to anyone who is in their last year of high school. Basically, it's a loss of motivation.
Assistant Principal Eric Henderson has seen it all before and knows the dangers of senioritis and what happens when students get it. "All throughout high school, students are developing strong habits in terms of finishing things that they start. If you get senioritis, you stop doing just that," said Henderson. "I've had universities send me letters asking to inform students that they are no longer accepted. This happens when students slack off in their school work or begin skipping classes. I don't understand how they work so hard to get into their dream colleges and then throw it all away their last year,"
Still, senior Nadine Alshorachi explained how nice it feels knowing that seniors only have about four months left before they are officially done with high school. "This semester so far has been pretty easy and I hope it stays that way. It has been getting much harder to wake up for school and it's dreadful having to come every single day," said Alshorachi. "I'm excited to graduate and further my studies in college. It will be hard to leave my high school years behind but cool to move onto something new and exciting."
Senior Sydney Wallace said that she is relieved that this is her senior year and explains what she looks forward to the most. "I'm also a little sad that high school is almost over. I love how laid back this year feels compared to last year. I'm really excited about Prom and senior spring break," said Wallace.
Senior Ryan Sutcliffe said it feels awesome to be a senior. He talks about his lack of motivation during his final year. "I can't wait to graduate and start a new chapter in my life. I'd say I've lost my motivation 100% and came down with senioritis. My favorite part of my senior year so far has been attending the all of the basketball games," said Sutcliffe.

Special Order Units. The upgrade from retail store cabinets would be ordering all of them from your local home improvement store or perhaps local lumberyard. Quality will probably be much noticeably higher than stock cabinets, but your options are still somewhat limited as to what you may order. Expect to see laminated interiors in either white colored or maple color, wood drawers and doors, and upgrades such as soft close hinges or soft close drawer slides. These cabinets can come finished and ready to install. Typically, these will be offered in all of the 3 inch increments, generally ranging from 12 inches wide to 36 or even 48 in .. Doors and drawer face may be somewhat customizable when it comes to styles and colors, but options continue to be limited. Still expect .5 inch thick carcasses (the box part of the cabinets) and 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch thick cabinet back.


If you claim to be a summer lover, you ought to live in the Philippines where the weather can be so oppressively hot that even your armpits will cry in despair. If layering is a must in cold countries, then it's safe to say that wearing summer clothes in the Philippines any time of the year is never a problem.This is our second set of photos with Eli Arce shot in Bonifacio Highstreet last month.
F&F Fashion Tip: Don't bare it all. If you're gonna wear sleeveless tops, you may tone down the flesh flash by wearing a long skirt.
Like high heels, there's something about long skirts that make us feel extra-confident. You know when it's windy and you swoop into a room feeling like you're in a red carpet event, the wind lightly blowing your hair and skirt up? Well you get the idea.
We hope you like this set! You may visit and like our Facebook page for recent updates about us.

ScummVM is a program which allows you to play some classic graphical point-and-click adventure and role-playing games. You need to own the games files but some of these games are completely free to download or available for a low cost (£4-£10) from official distributors. This allows you to play a selection of games on your Raspberry Pi.
The official ScummVM webisite provides a list of compatible games that can be used. There is also a page that lists where these games can be purchased or which games are free to download.
ScummVM can run on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS so once you have the games you can play them on other platforms.
This will update the list of available packages and install the ScummVM programme.
It can be named anything you like as long as you remember that name.
If you are using the 3.5mm audio jack you may need to force the Pi to use it rather than sending audio via HDMI.
This will launch the raspi-config utility.
In order to improve the performance and eliminate the mouse lag you may need to make another change to a setting within rasp-conifg.
There may be more than one option for each game but I would recommend the "CD version" if available. Although a larger file size it will contain more/better graphics and sound.
Click "Beneath a Steel Sky, Freeware CD Version". It will download a Zip file which you should see in the browser's footer.
Select this and click "Open" to open the Zip file in "Xarchiver".
IF the Zip file contains a single folder select it and click the "Extract Files" button.
Set the destination directory to "/home/pi/mygames". Set "Files" to "All Files" and "Options" to "Extract files with full path". Click the "Extract" button. This will extract all the files into a directory as specified in the Zip file.
IF the Zip file contains a number of files click the "Extract Files" button. Set the destination directory to "/home/pi/mygames/####" where #### is a suitable name for the game. Set "Files" to "All Files" and "Options" to "Extract files with full path".
Click the "Extract" button. This will extract all the files into a new directory.
You can then repeat this process to download and extract games to the "mygames" directory. If you prefer you could download them on your PC and transfer to the Pi via SSH.
You are aiming to have each game in a separate directory within "/home/pi/mygames".
From the Raspian applications menu select "Games" then "ScummVM". This should launch the main interface.
Click the "Add Game" button. This will launch a file browser. Browse to /home/pi and select the "mygames" folder created earlier.
Select the game directory and click "Choose".
Click "OK" to add it to the list.
Repeat this process to add all the games you have downloaded and extracted to "mygames".
When the launcher is visible select the game you want to play from the list.
These sort of games tend to have an intro sequence which you may be able to skip using ESC. But if you are playing these sorts of games why rush?
You may have noticed when downloading the freeware games that some of them are available in different languages.
This is an awesome way to practice your own language skills or help a young person learn a new language while having fun at the same time.

"The editors are to be commended for having commissioned contributors to write groundwork entries....I was impressed with the overall quality of the entries...The Oxford Encyclopedia of Biblical Interpretation represents a splendid achievement by providing a comprehensive panorama of contemporary biblical interpretation. It shows how works from the previous centuries have initiated trajectories of biblical interpretation that continue today."--Review of Biblical Literature
"The contributors' annotations of their extensive bibliographies are an invaluable complement to the essays themselves. The roster of editors and contributors is varied and distinguished, and the selection of topics is as eclectic as one might wish. A superb index of 100-plus pages greatly enhances this set's usefulness. This is an extremely ambitious project that has the potential to foster broader and more sophisticated study in the field. Highly recommended."--CHOICE
"The Oxford Encyclopedia of Biblical Interpretation (OEBI) is an invaluable resource for scholars, and especially those in biblical studies. Steven McKenzie and his editorial team have produced a volume that combines accessibility, clarity, and eruditeness. The contributors include both well-established and emerging scholars from a variety of fields and from different global and cultural vantage points. Each of the essays, organized alphabetically, is a few thousand words in length and includes a -- many times annotated -- bibliography. The second volume helpfully includes at the end a list of contributors and their essays, an index, and a topical outline of contents." --FIDES et HUMILITAS

Strength and Conditioning for Rugby Union
Rugby Union as a sport has seen continual evolution over the years, and never more so than since the game officially became professional in 1995. While on the pitch tactics have seen more formalized approaches to skill acquisition, it is off the pitch where the biggest changes have occurred and no area has developed more than strength and conditioning. Players have gone from traditionally training for 'fitness' as an add-on to their rugby training to seeking out structured athletic training interventions. Furthermore, with modern rugby players being physically bigger and faster, the need to ensure that they are more robust and free from injury has led to the demand for a more scientific approach to the prescription of strength and conditioning. In Strength and Conditioning for Rugby Union, ex-international player Joel Brannigan presents the underpinning science of strength and conditioning in rugby. Using the fundamental principles of training, he details a structure of assessing rugby players that in turn will allow appropriate training inverventions to be planned out and, most importantly, coached to a wide range of rugby playing levels.

FOR THE RECORD: Father of modern water polo; Designer of modern water polo ball; 1955 PAN AMERICAN GAMES Coach; Author of first water polo textbook, 1936.
Jimmy Smith, father of modern water polo, knew more rules and history of the sport than anyone before or after him. Smith introduced and wrote them, developing many of the modern rules which are used in competition today, including the use of the yellow rubberized ball adopted by FINA in 1956.
A native of Oakland, California, Jimmy began his athletic career at the University of Southern California in 1924. Elected team captain of both the swimming and water polo teams, Smith earned an undergraduate degree in Business (1928) and a Masters degree in Education (1935).
Smith used his athletic experience to begin his professional career as a swimming and water polo coach and collegiate athletic director. For over thirty years, Smith served as the athletic director of Fullerton Junior College and Fullerton High School. His water polo and swimming teams amassed 164 team championships, including five national, five AAU, and six California State Championship titles. Internationally, Smith coached the United States Pan American Water Polo Team in 1955 at the second Pan American Games in Mexico City.
Smith was a mentor to many of America's top coaches, including Hall of Famer Monte Nitzkowski, United States National and Olympic team water polo coach. "He was the man who launched my career," said Nitzkowski. "It was Jimmy's guidance, leadership, and undying love for the sport that inspired me."
Smith authored several works on water polo mechanics and coaching. His first book, Playing and Coaching Water Polo, published in 1936 and revised in 1948, was the world's first complete textbook on the sport. Smith also produced and edited The World Encyclopedia of Water Polo, published in 1989. A member of the 1948 and 1952 United States Olympic Water Polo Committees, Smith was elected to the United States Water Polo Hall of Fame in 1976, and in 1985 received the highest honor in the United States Water Polo, the Peter Uebberoth Award, for his contributions to water polo.
Smith was an innovator and his creation of the modern day water polo ball was instrumental in the development of the above-the-water, faster-moving, ball-controlled game. From the 1912 Olympics, the leather soccer ball absorbed water and became extremely heavy, slippery and out-of-control when wet. Following the 1936 Olympic in Berlin, Jimmy developed a ball made with a cotton bladder, which later changed to nylon to improve performance, with a rubber fabric cover. The new ball was red, but by 1948 yellow was adopted for better visibility. It became an official Olympic ball in 1956, greatly increasing spectator interest.
Jimmy Smith is honored for his achievements, friendships, and trail-blazing accomplishments in the sport of water polo. As competitor, coach, and author, water polo was his life.


The timing of the Independence Day tennis tournament at Sun Valley is a little different in 2012. That's because the holiday falls right in the middle of the week—so the tournament is set for the weekend before.
The Lyle Pearson Fourth of July Tennis Championships are set for Friday through Sunday, June 29-July 1. The three-day tournament is presented by Sun Valley Resort.
Final entry deadline is Tuesday, June 26 at midnight. Use tennislink.usta.com to sign up. The tournament identification is 250008112. Tournament director is David Perry.
Perry said the Lyle Pearson will again offer the largest purse in Idaho for Men's Open Division based on a draw of at least 16 players ($300 singles champ, $150 finalists, $200 doubles winners, $100 finalists). Open women's prize money equals the men, based on draw.
You must be a U.S. Tennis Association member to compete in the Open divisions. Non-USTA members are welcome to play in the unsanctioned 3.5 through 5.0 classes for singles and doubles, or the 7.0 to 9.0 classes in the mixed doubles category.
Tournament sponsors are Atkinsons' Markets, Lyle Pearson of Boise and Sun Valley Resort. Players may enter three events, with two matches in each event guaranteed for all.
Players' party featuring raffle prizes is Saturday, June 30 at 6 p.m. Because of the earlier date, the tournament doesn't coincide with the Sun Valley Ice Show this year—but participants will receive 50% off the price of the tickets for the July 4 kickoff ice show.

News National 2016 01 16 JASTRe: More recycling centres needed in Brunei
JASTRe: More recycling centres needed in Brunei
16 February 2016 Wail Wardi Wasil National 1 minute, 46 seconds
MORE recycling centres are needed to decrease the amount of waste that goes to landfills, said the acting director of the Department of Environment, Parks and Recreation (JASTRe).
Speaking to The Brunei Times, Hj Shaharuddin Khairul Hj Anuar said there are only 10 recycling companies that are registered with the department.
He said the reduction of waste through more recycling can stretch the life span of landfills in Brunei.
It was previously reported that there are six landfills in 2014. Sg Paku landfill, which can last up to 20 years, collects an average of 450 tonnes of rubbish per day, with 350 tonnes originating from the Brunei-Muara district.
The acting director said: "There are plenty of recyclable wastes that can be reused as raw materials such as plastic and paper."
Existing recycling centres in Brunei cater to different types of recyclable waste, as some accept plastic and paper while others only recycle scrap metals.
He added that it is difficult to identify the type of recycling centres that are needed more in the country because it is "market-dictated", depending on the recyclable wastes that Bruneians produce.
"There is a wide spectrum of wastes that can be found in Brunei (therefore) the more recycling centres there are, the better.
"The only question is whether there is someone out there willing to take the challenge in collecting recyclable wastes in Brunei," he continued.
Hj Shahruddin went on to say that owners of premises should consider establishing recycling containers in commercial areas to improve accessibility of recycling containers.
He added that owners of premises should also try their best to ensure recycling containers are not abused, such as being used to dispose non-recyclable wastes.
An environmental officer from JASTRe, who did not wish to be named, said more recycling centres can help increase public awareness on the importance of recycling.
This is because, he said, there will be more locations for Bruneians to send their recyclable goods.
He added that more recycling centres would also help the department in achieving its aim of increasing the country's recycling rate of up to 15 per cent by the year 2020.
