Fort Gordon Garrison Commander Col. Jim Clifford shows local educators around Fort Gordon during a windshield tour July 27. Laura Levering / Fort Gordon Public Affairs Office Educators and school administrators from across the Central Savannah River Area participated in Fort Gordon's third annual "Tour for Teachers" July 27.
The tour helps foster relationships between Fort Gordon and local schools primarily by providing educators with information about the future of Fort Gordon, the vast array of jobs on Fort Gordon, and insight into assisting military students and their families.
Participants began their day with breakfast and briefings at Gordon's Conference and Catering Center before getting on busses for a windshield tour and hands-on activities.
Col. Jim Clifford, Fort Gordon Garrison Commander, welcomed educators and praised them for the role they play in students' lives, then delivered an overview of Fort Gordon.
Amy Marchant, Aiken High School computer teacher, receives assistance putting on gear in preparation for the Humvee Egress Assistance Trainer during a Tour for Teachers event held July 27. Laura Levering / Fort Gordon Public Affairs Office An established military installation that operates much like a city, Clifford said Fort Gordon would rank as the seventh largest city in Georgia with a supported population of about 94,000. And with thousands more due to arrive over the next few years, local educators will feel the impact in their classrooms and communities.
"It is a good problem to have," Clifford said of the growth.
As the population grows and Fort Gordon's mission becomes more operational and technical in nature, the need for a relevant workforce will also grow. Clifford told teachers that they play an important role in developing that workforce by teaching and encouraging students to excel in subjects like science, technology, engineering, math and cyber.
Clifford also touched on some of the challenges military children face and how teachers can make a positive difference simply by listening and gaining an understanding of those challenges.
One of the biggest challenges military families face is moving and changing schools.
Melissa Barrickman, Fort Gordon school liaison officer, said that on average, military children move six to nine times during their school career. That is three times more than their civilian counterparts, she said.
Frequent moves mean having to leave old friends and make new ones, adjusting to a new schedule and curriculum, and in some cases new grading systems and extracurricular activity requirements.
As the mother of two military children and former elementary school teacher, Barrickman understands the challenges firsthand.
She offered teachers suggestions on ways they can help alleviate some of the stress such as by keeping extra information on hand for students who arrive late in the year, by creating a buddy system linking new families up with ones that have been at the school a while, by encouraging parent involvement, and by communicating regularly with Fort Gordon school liaisons.
For teachers who have military students leaving, she suggested making something they can take with them to their next location.
"As you're getting ready to say 'goodbye' to those military kids, make them a slideshow or a video tour of your school, or even a photo album of local things that have happened during their time with you," Barrickman said.
Barrickman closed her presentation by emphasizing to teachers that military students are just children, much like others but with unique experiences and challenges.
Following Barrickman's remarks, educators loaded on to buses for a windshield tour that included stops at the Engagement Skills Trainer, Humvee Egress Assistance Trainer, and Forward Operating Base Ready.
It was a day Amy Marchant won't soon forget.
"To me, this has been awesome," said Marchant, a computer teacher at Aiken High School.
Marchant said her experience at Fort Gordon was filled with enlightening information that she plans to take back with her to school. One of the biggest takeaways, she said, is that the military has changed dramatically over the years.

TRAVEL BY BUS THROUGH MYKONOS
Buses in Mykonos are the cheapest transport to get around Mykonos. Its high quality road networks enable tourists to explore the island with ease and convenience. Mykonos bus stations are both located in Chora or the Mykonos Town, each one lying on different sides of the place, the southern station and the northern station.
The southern station is located in Fabrica square. Here, the buses are headed to Platys Gialos and Paradise both every 30 minutes, Paraga after an hour interval, Agios Ioannis, and Ornos. The station also has night buses that travel to Paradise and Platys Gialos which leave every hour.
The northern station on the other hand is situated behind the town's archaeological museum, in proximity to the telephone company building. From this station, bus routes are around the north and east part of Mykonos – Tourlos, Agios Stefanos, Kalafati, Kalo Livadi, Ano Mera, and Elia.
Do not worry much about the departure times and end of the bus route as they are all clearly marked in both stations.
The not-so-good part about these two bus stations is that there isn't a bus connection between them. That means, if you are from the northern part of the island and would want to go to the other, you'd need to go on foot for 20 minutes to reach it. You can buy your bus tickets direct from the bus driver or in a bus vending machine placed in mini-markets, tourist shops and kiosks in the island – you'd need euro coins for this. Bus tickets are priced at € 1.60 for day trips, at night, tickets cost € 2. Take note that buses are often full during the day as drivers try to squeeze in as many passengers as he can.

Earthquake App Brings Safety Information to Mobile Devices
Posted on September 26, 2012 by American Red Cross - Wisconsin
The American Red Cross released its official Earthquake App, putting lifesaving information right in the hands of people who live in or who visit earthquake prone areas.
This free app—available in English or Spanish—is the third in a series created by the American Red Cross, the nation's leader in emergency preparedness, for use on both iPhone and Android platforms. The Earthquake App comes on the heels of the highly successful First Aid and Hurricane apps, which have more than 1 million users.
"This app gives users instant access to local and real-time information, so they know what to do before, during and after earthquakes," said Dr. Steven J. Jensen, member of the American Red Cross Scientific Advisory Committee, and a professor in emergency management at California State University at Long Beach. "The new, simplified 'Shake Zone Impact Maps' provide users with personalized local impact information on the status of their community in order to help them make crucial decisions."
Features of the app include:
Earthquake epicenter location, impact magnitude and local geographical impact data provided by the U.S. Geological Survey;
Personalized push notifications, monitoring both magnitude and geography;
A "Shake Zone Impact Map" that provides real-time, simplified impact assessment when available;
Comprehensive reporting of all seismic activity for every geographic area in the United States;
Options to view the app in English or Spanish based on user handset settings;
One touch "I'm safe" messaging that allows users to broadcast reassurance to family and friends via social media outlets that they are out of harm's way;
Locations of open Red Cross shelters;
Simple steps and checklists people can use to create a family emergency plan;
Preloaded content that gives users instant access to critical action steps, even without mobile connectivity;
Information on events that may happen after earthquakes such as fires and tsunamis;
Toolkit with flashlight, strobe light and audible alarm; and
Badges users can earn through interactive quizzes and share on social networks.
"The new customizations and introduction of the 'Shake Zone Impact Map' can help individuals and families gain a better understanding of the effects of earthquakes both near their homes or where friends and family reside," said Jack McMaster, president of Preparedness and Health and Safety Services for the Red Cross. "With more than 1 million downloads and high praise from the digital community, the Red Cross has established itself as a leader in mobile apps that put critical information in people's hands when they need it most," McMaster added.
National Red Cross experts in health, safety and preparedness have thoroughly reviewed and field tested the information and advice provided in Red Cross apps. A recent Red Cross survey found that apps have tied social media as the fourth most popular way for people to get information during emergencies, making the Red Cross app development effort even more important.
The Earthquake App can be found in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store for Android by searching for American Red Cross. Apps can help prepare people for disasters, but they are not a substitute for training. Red Cross First Aid and CPR/AED training empowers people to know how to respond to emergencies in case advanced medical help is delayed. People can visit redcross.org/takeaclass for course information and to register.
The Red Cross responds to nearly 70,000 disasters each year and we help people get ready to respond to emergencies by providing these apps for free. The Red Cross needs the help of the public to continue this lifesaving effort. People can make a donation to the Red Cross by going to redcross.org, texting REDCROSS to 90999 or by calling 1-800-REDCROSS.

Recoveron Tailgate Party Raises $1,000 for American Red Cross
(l-r) Shawn Kiser, Special Event Coordinator, Andy Kaye, president of Recoveron and Steve Hansen, Regional Chapter Executive
A special tailgate party hosted by Recoveron Restoration & Industrial Services earlier this month helped raise $1,000 for the American Red Cross of Northeast Wisconsin. Dozens of people came together September 9th to both celebrate the start of a new season and support a good cause.
"The outpouring of support from those who attended the tailgate party is tremendous and will help the Red Cross continue to provide much needed services to victims of disaster," said Andy Kaye, president of Recoveron. "As a local restoration company, we work with individuals, families and businesses that have just experienced a significant disaster in their lives, including fires and floods."
During local – and national – disasters, the Red Cross provides basic emergency needs such as shelter, food, medications, baby formula and more. This is on top of the emotional support and health services the Red Cross provides at the scene of disasters; most of which are local fires. "With support from business like Recoveron, we are better prepared and ready to respond around the clock," said Steve Hansen, Regional Chapter Executive for the American Red Cross of Northeast Wisconsin.
Recoveron Restoration & Industrial Services is a full-service restoration company, specializing in fire, water and mold restoration for both commercial and residential losses. Recoveron also provides a variety of industrial applications. Recoveron serves all of eastern Wisconsin with locations in Green Bay and Plymouth, WI. For more information, go to: www.recoveron.com
The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies nearly half of the nation's blood; teaches lifesaving skills; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a charitable organization — not a government agency — and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

Welcoming our Newest Board Member, Tom Rettler
By Lauren Lindstrom, American Red Cross Communications Intern
We are excited to introduce one of the new additions to the Northeast Wisconsin Red Cross Board of Directors, Tom Rettler.
He's an Appleton native who returned to the area four and a half years ago after more than 20 years in Milwaukee. He serves as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Menasha Corporation.
A busy man in the office and at home, Tom is married with three kids, two in college and one beginning kindergarten in the fall. He says his hobbies include fishing and golf, but most of his limited free time is spent enjoying time with his family.
Tom calls himself a "periodic blood donor" who saw an opportunity to get more involved with the community in another way. He is also a board member on the Menasha Corp Foundation, and felt he could also assist the NEW Red Cross with his skill set and career history.
Why Red Cross?
"It's an efficiently run organization," Rettler said. "As a CFO, using donor dollars well is something I am sensitive to…people want to see the money go to the problem, not overhead."

Kewaunee Celebrates our Veterans and Active Military
By John Kost, Regional Manager, Service to Armed Forces
Saturday, September 15, representing the Service to the Armed Forces (SAF) program I was with the community of Kewaunee celebrating Veterans and the work and sacrifices they have given to our country. It is amazing to be in a close community such as this that takes time to honor and remember those who have served and continue to serve. Local veterans from past and current wars are coming through and sharing their experiences with each other and if you are lucky, as I am, they share a part of their service with you.
Even in a small Wisonsin community as Kewaunee, its citizens have served in our miltary around the world.
Kewaunee has a rich history of ship building. During World War II this community manufactured ship for the Army Transportation Corps. During 1941-1945 eighty transport ships were manufactured for the US Army
A very touching balloon release ceremony was done in memory of those who lost their lives in service for our country and past veterans. Names of veterans were written on balloons by those in attendance and released.

More than One Million Download Red Cross Mobile Safety Apps
The American Red Cross today announced that over the past three months, more than one million smart phone users have downloaded the recently released First Aid and Hurricane Apps.
These free apps are part of a series created by the American Red Cross for both iPhone and Android platforms. The apps provide users with real time information on what to do before, during and after emergencies.
"The advances in smart phone technology have allowed the Red Cross to revolutionize how the public gets its safety and preparedness information," said Jack McMaster, president of Preparedness and Health and Safety Services for the Red Cross. "We've moved from having volumes of general information sitting on shelves to putting emergency-specific information right in people's hands."
Early evidence suggests that this is making a difference in emergency situations. In online reviews of the app, people have reported using the First Aid App to respond to everything from cuts and sprains, to choking, seizures and strokes. According to one user, "I was in my friend's car with two others when suddenly my friend started having a seizure. I immediately looked at this app for help while calling 9-1-1 on another phone. I told the police about it and they said that there's a good chance the information in this app saved my friend's life. Thank you, American Red Cross."
"As Hurricane Isaac approached the Gulf Coast, our Hurricane App was put to the test," McMaster added. "Hundreds of thousands of people downloaded the app and spent an average of 30 minutes using the app – demonstrating its value to consumers."
Nearly 2 million weather alerts were issued and usage of the Shelter Finder feature doubled during and after Isaac. People also used the app to send "I'm Safe" messages to their loved ones.
National Red Cross experts in health, safety and preparedness have thoroughly reviewed and field tested the information and advice provided in Red Cross apps.
Apps can help prepare people for emergencies, but they are not a substitute for training. Red Cross First Aid and CPR/AED training empowers people to know how to respond to emergencies in case advanced medical help is delayed. People can go to redcross.org/takeaclass for course information and to register.
About the American Red Cross: The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies more than 40 percent of the nation's blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

St. John's Lutheran Church in Princeton Steps up to be Heroes for the Red Cross
Pastor Daniel Heiderich is shown presenting the HEROES donation to Vicki P. Jenks, American Red Cross in NE Wisconsin Board Member and Disaster Action Team volunteer.
Recently, the congregation of St. John's Lutheran Church, Princeton, stepped up and became HEROES for their local AMERICAN RED CROSS. Hosting the food booth at the Princeton Flea Market, they raised $1,000 to be used for disaster relief and preparedness in Green Lake County.
The most common local disasters are residential FIRES. When the Red Cross is called in for support, trained volunteers provide immediate needs ranging from personal hygiene items, a place to stay, a hot meal and a shoulder to lean on. The Red Cross also supports first responders with hydration, food and respite.
Your AMERICAN RED CROSS–96% volunteers–arrives with hearts filled with compassion and a plan to support families in a very emotional time. Thank you, St. John's Lutheran Church and the Princeton community!

9/11: National Day of Service and Remembrance
In 2002 the nonprofit organization MyGoodDeed, in partnership with leading service-based organizations, proposed a simple yet powerful way for Americans to honor the September 11th victims, survivors, and emergency responders. This initiative – the September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance – would offer all those willing and able to participate an opportunity to pay tribute while simultaneously playing a role in our country's physical and emotional recovery.
After all, what better way to remind the world, fellow Americans, and ourselves that we – the United States of America – were not, are not, and will never be defined by this tragic event, and that those whose lives came to an end on September 11th did not die in vain, than to offer support, a helping hand, and hope to American people and communities in need.
The United States Government agreed, and in 2009, Congress designated September 11th as a National Day of Service and Remembrance under bipartisan law and tasked the Corporation for National and Community Service with supporting associated volunteer efforts nationwide.
According to the CNCS United We Serve website, "This year, more than 1 million Americans are expected to serve in their communities in honor of 9/11. Service projects will range from food drives to neighborhood cleanups and disaster preparation activities."
You can be one of those 1 million people. Visit the United We Serve website for more information about this special day, to register a project and recruit volunteers, and/or to learn more about volunteer opportunities in your area.
Or if you'd prefer, visit the American Red Cross website for more information about how to volunteer for your local chapter of the organization.
But whatever you do, go out and do good. Set an example for others by serving your community and showing the world – or your little corner of the world – that you remember.

Alario Kitchen story (Southern Baptist partnership)
Posted on September 7, 2012 by American Red Cross - Wisconsin
by Tom Breister & Virginia Hart
Dennis Nagan overseeing Kitchen #5. by Tom Breister
As he has done many times before during disasters, American Red Cross volunteer Dennis Nagan from Appleton, Wisconsin, is preparing to transport meals to disaster-affected clients.
Meals are prepared by the Southern Baptist Convention Disaster Relief Kitchen #5 at the Alario Center in Westwego, LA. Food is then stored in large cambros (insulated containers that keep the food piping hot) and American Red Cross workers load them into the back of American Red Cross Emergency Response Vehicles (ERV). ERV's are then dispatched to different neighborhoods that are desperately in need of hot meals and water. Each ERV can serve over 600 hot meals, plus water and snacks, each time it is dispatched. Depending on need, the ERV's can service up to 5 routes per day.
ERV drivers are specially trained in Red Cross Chapters across the nation. During a disaster, ERV's from all over the United States, driven by Red Cross volunteers, mobilize to help feed communities devastated by disaster. The hometown and state of each ERV is imprinted on the side of the vehicle.
Southern Baptist Convention Disaster Relief often partners with the American Red Cross to provide hot meals immediately following a disaster. They are expert in preparing mass amounts of food. Their state of the art food preparation vehicle costs $450,000. Several of these vehicles can be deployed following a major disaster. Southern Baptist manager Jack Sellers said his organization can produce up to 25,000 meals per day at that one kitchen.
Even though he has been deployed as an ERV coordinator in several past disasters, Nagan laughs and says that he always says "but this one is the best." "The partnership between the Red Cross and the Southern Baptists is critical in delivering services after a disaster," Nagan said.

July 23, 2012 Issue
By Emma Allen
Illustration by Tom Bachtell
The sights of sleepy Frenchtown, New Jersey, include several horse farms, three steepled churches, and, in front of one yellow Victorian house, a large supine Buddha. The deity reclines on the lawn of the writer Elizabeth Gilbert, who greeted a visitor recently wearing an apron on which was scrawled, "In her presence flowers blossomed, bees buzzed, and the sun shined brighter than before." Gilbert was about to attempt a recipe for Celery au Gratin from the cookbook "At Home on the Range; or, How to Make Friends with Your Stove," which was published in 1947, by her great-grandmother Margaret Yardley Potter.
The barefoot author bore little physical resemblance to her predecessor, who died before she was born ("Well, you must be the one who cooks," someone said of Potter, upon meeting her and her sister). But both Potter, a marmish débutante-turned-housewife with a drinking problem, and Gilbert, an ashram-hopping exemplar of self-discovery, have something of the guru about them. Both writers dispense aphorisms with a wink—the elder on learning to love dandelion greens and cockscombs with wine in the heyday of Jell-O, the younger on learning to love oneself, post-marital meltdown.
One frequently quoted maxim of Gilbert's might apply to both: "I am my best person when I have less on my plate." In Potter's case, the epiphany came after polishing off a proto-pizza she encountered in 1918, in the back kitchen of an Italian grocer: "The first mouthful left dull, run-of-the-mill food without appeal forever, and I learned then never to scorn an odd-appearing dish."
In her kitchen, Gilbert frenetically whisked a white sauce in a makeshift double boiler. "I really feel like she's infinitely more of this time, certainly of this moment," she said of Potter, whom she refers to as Gima. "Like, she would have had a food truck, for sure. She'd be one of those Brooklyn butcher chicks; she'd be doing heritage pig knuckles." ("Imagination is the only limit to the ways of serving it," Potter writes of calf's head.) Gilbert scooped grated cheese and chopped celery into ceramic dog bowls, and began opening and slamming drawers, in search of a measuring spoon.
Last year, while going through boxes in the attic of the big yellow house, Gilbert found her grandmother's copy of Potter's book. In April, McSweeney's republished it, with an introduction by Gilbert. Bonnie Slotnick, the proprietor of a vintage-cookbook store in the West Village, who recently sold a first edition of "At Home on the Range," says, "It wasn't the first narrative cookbook. It wasn't the first cheerful, self-deprecating cookbook. But it's a charming book—re-readable and comforting."
Giving up the hunt, Gilbert said, "I think a lot of times Gima wasn't sober when she was cooking, so she must have fudged some stuff." (Potter: "Any halfway intelligent woman should be able to produce a drinkable cocktail.") "She must have been, like, 'Ah, good enough on the teaspoons.' " Elliot, Gilbert's ten-month-old step-grandson, stuck his head through the dog door, beyond which a tooth-marked measuring spoon could be seen, abandoned on the porch. "Do you want to come in, buddy?" Gilbert yelled. "Come on, you can totally do it! If my dumbest cat can do it . . .
"Oh, wow, the flour was supposed to go in first, um, glad I had that figured out," she said, turning back to the stove and dumping some flour into the double boiler. (Potter: "So go your culinary ways with confidence and without apology.") "Making white sauce seems to me to be dangerously close to baking," Gilbert said, as she poured the mixture over a dish of chopped celery. "I like stews, where you throw in all the ingredients and then walk away and watch 'Game of Thrones.' " (Potter on bread baking: "Relax. Sit down, light a cigarette. . . . Is your cigarette finished? Let's go. This is fun.") "Luckily, you could cook my bra this way and it would be delicious," Gilbert added, as the Celery au Gratin gurgled in the oven.
"At Home on the Range" was originally published in a run of around five thousand copies, about the same number that "Pilgrims," Gilbert's début collection of short stories, sold in its first printing. Gilbert's memoir "Eat, Pray, Love," on the other hand, has sold more than ten million copies.
"Sadly, almost nobody wanted to hear about this rustic-ass cooking, when the signal of your having arrived was owning a shiny Frigidaire," Gilbert said, as she spooned out the viscous concoction. "Meanwhile, Gima was nostalgic for the ice man, with his sex appeal." Perhaps if Potter had stuck with racier material she could have had a best-seller, too. "My uncle Nick told me that, as a kid, he was obsessed with his grandparents' parties," Gilbert went on. "He used to hide out on the landing, and he remembers hearing Gima say, 'I learned everything I know about sex from a folding chair.' " Then again, maybe not. ♦

Liquid is a PHP port of the [Liquid template engine for Ruby](https://github.com/Shopify/liquid), which was written by Tobias Lutke. Although there are many other templating engines for PHP, including Smarty (from which Liquid was partially inspired), Liquid had some advantages that made porting worthwhile:

 * Readable and human friendly syntax, that is usable in any type of document, not just html, without need for escaping.
 * Quick and easy to use and maintain.
 * 100% secure, no possibility of embedding PHP code.
 * Clean OO design, rather than the mix of OO and procedural found in other templating engines.
 * Seperate compiling and rendering stages for improved performance.
 * Easy to extend with your own "tags and filters":https://github.com/harrydeluxe/php-liquid/wiki/Liquid-for-programmers.
 * 100% Markup compatibility with a Ruby templating engine, making templates usable for either.
 * Unit tested: Liquid is fully unit-tested. The library is stable and ready to be used in large projects.

## Why Liquid?

Why another templating library?

Liquid was written to meet three templating library requirements: good performance, easy to extend, and simply to use.

## Installing

You can install this lib via [composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

    composer create-project liquid/liquid

## Example template

	{% if products %}

		{% for product in products %}

{{ product.name }}

			Only {{ product.price | price }}

			{{ product.description | prettyprint | paragraph }}

			{{ 'it rocks!' | paragraph }}

		{% endfor %}

	{% endif %}

## How to use Liquid

The main class is `Liquid::Template` class. There are two separate stages of working with Liquid templates: parsing and rendering. Here is a simple example:

    use Liquid\Template;

    $template = new Template();
    $template->parse("Hello, {{ name }}!");
    echo $template->render(array('name' => 'Alex');

	// Will echo
	// Hello, Alex!

To find more examples have a look at the `examples` directory or at the original Ruby implementation repository's [wiki page](https://github.com/Shopify/liquid/wiki).

## Requirements

 * PHP 5.3+

## Issues

Have a bug? Please create an issue here on GitHub!

[https://github.com/kalimatas/php-liquid/issues](https://github.com/kalimatas/php-liquid/issues)

## Fork notes

This fork is based on [php-liquid](https://github.com/harrydeluxe/php-liquid) by Harald Hanek.

It contains several improvements:

 * namespaces
 * installing via composer
 * new standard filters
 * `raw` tag added

Any help is appreciated!

It is only one day of the year, but the build up to Christmas day starts weeks (if not months) before and the stress levels also build up, therefore what are the benefits of hosting Christmas day lunch at The Chichester Hotel, Essex?
You are already stressed with the Christmas gift shopping… what do you buy Aunt Doris or the teen who has everything? Why have the extra pressure of having to navigate one of the big four supermarkets, find a car parking space, fight to get the last pack of Brussels sprouts and then a ½ hour (if lucky) wait to get though the checkouts? We know that you need to do some food shopping but this can be limited, as the hotel provides a sumptuous four course festive lunch.
You'll probably be saying to yourself "who can lend me another table? I also need additional chairs what with hosting Christmas lunch at home and I never have enough space!" At The Chichester Hotel we can cater for numbers from 2 to however big your family is: space is not an issue.
You have eaten the last slice of turkey and you are fit to burst, you glance at the kitchen and all you can see is pile upon pile of dishes, baking trays and remnants of leftover food. All of a sudden everyone feigns exhaustion and leaves you to fill up the dishwater and not once, I hasten to add!
So what are you waiting for? The Chichester Hotel is offering a day of guaranteed indulgent celebration. The hotel provides a relaxed and informal setting for all the family and includes a visit from Santa with gifts for the under 12's.
Call 01268 560 555 to make your reservation today and avoid peeling all of those spuds!

Cape Coral High started Jaylen Watkins' Super Bowl journey
Philadelphia Eagles special teamer, defensive back is in Super Bowl LII.
Cape Coral High started Jaylen Watkins' Super Bowl journey Philadelphia Eagles special teamer, defensive back is in Super Bowl LII. Check out this story on news-press.com: http://newspr.es/2GIiwrp

A couple of hours after the Philadelphia Eagles lay waste to the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship, Spencer Boyd joined Jaylen Watkins in celebration.
They looked at each other and smiled.
"You're going to the Super Bowl," said Boyd, a former Cape Coral High teammate.
Watkins' grin grew larger. "I know."
Sunday, Watkins and the Eagles (15-3) will play in Super Bowl LII against the New England Patriots (15-3).

In celebrating with his best friend, "basically my brother", Boyd felt like he couldn't be any happier than "if I played in the game myself."
Former Cape Coral High quarterback Collin Saring, who is going to Philly this weekend to be with family and friends, texted Watkins a few minutes after the game to congratulate him. Watkins responded the next day. The two communicate regularly.
Sparing reminded his buddy that he's staying through Tuesday night so he can watch the Eagles' parade.

Watkins credits friendships like these with his former Cape High teammates in forming a foundation that has a major impact on his life.
Watkins said Boyd "led me over to Cape Coral Pop Warner. And then I went to Cape High School, which is probably the best decision I could have made for my career, keeping me out of trouble."

Brandy Peterson, Watkins' mom, said being around guys like Boyd and Saring taught him more about being a team player.
"They taught him loyalty and respect," said the fifth-grade teacher at Hancock Creek Elementary School. "They built that bond outside of the football field.
"Spencer came over quite often or Jaylen was at his or Collin's house. There were times Spencer referred to me as Miss Brandy or his mother, and Jaylen called Monica (Spencer's mom) his mom as well. It became real close-knit."
After playing for his dream college team, the University of Florida, Watkins went to the Eagles in the fourth Round of the 2014 NFL Draft.
He's now in his second stint with Philadelphia. In between, he spent time on the Buffalo Bills practice squad in 2015 and covered his half-brother, receiver Sammy Watkins, in practice. But after developing holes in their secondary, the Eagles wasted little time re-signing him, and he's been a fixture on the roster ever since.
This past season, the 5-foot-11, 194-pounder cornerback has made 18 tackles while mainly playing on special teams.
"Special teams is big for me the last few years," Jaylen Watkins said. "It's kept me afloat, I'm actually a pretty good special teams player."
"He's Mr. Do-It-All," Philadelphia cornerback Jalen Mills said of Watkins. "Whatever spot, if anybody happens to bust a shoelace, equipment issue, you can plug him in, and you know he's going to go out there and do the job."
Cape Coral and beyond
Watkins did a little bit of everything for the Seahawks. He played regularly on defense. Saring beat him out for the quarterback job his senior season but Watkins still played the position at times.
"Prince Holloway, Jaylen and me always were together since we were in middle school," Boyd said. "We'd hang out in high school and stay late after practice. On Friday nights, we'd watch 'Friday Night Frenzy.' We pushed each other and helped each other."

Meanwhile, Watkins' grandfather Sammy Watkins, a security guard at Cape Coral, also proved to be a steadying influence.
Boyd and Watkins thought they'd attend South Florida together but Watkins says his father figure helped him attend camps and combines and ultimately "supported my decision to go to the University of Florida — the second-best decision of my life."
Boyd signed with Notre Dame before transferring to USF.

The two often talked about playing in the NFL. For Watkins, that dream came true on May 10, 2014.
Saring, whose family owned Uncle Brewski's from 1998-2009, was working at the bar and heading to the kitchen, "When I looked at the TV in the fourth round and whose face did I see on the screen. I thought, 'Oh my goodness', I went to my phone and texted someone that my friend was drafted by my favorite NFL team."
While Saring tells Watkins about all the players who competed in the NFL who wish they had this chance, Watkins "has been telling me about this Dalai Lama book he's been reading on peace and meditation."
Boyd said the daydreams they had while sitting at their desk have become manifest. Surreal is a word they often use. Boyd senses the feeling of playing in the Super Bowl hasn't sunk in because he's so focused on preparing for it.
"But he's enjoying his moment," Boyd said. "It's right in front of him."

"When (the Eagles) cut him unexpectedly, it gave him a chance to spend more time with his brother when Buffalo picked him up," Peterson said. "When Philadelphia brought him back, it was like, 'What can I learn from my experiences.'
"The journey has had its ups and downs. It has taught us to become closer as a family, learn and encourage one other, be positive.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I tell Jaylen, 'Set goals and make memories.'"
Those words seem to have resonated with Jaylen Watkins.
He's especially excited about joining a fraternity of Lee County players to reach the Super Bowl, a group that includes Watkins' close friend Tre Boston – a former Pop Warner wingman and now a safety for the Chargers (and formerly for the Panthers' 2015 NFC title team) – Jevon Kearse, Greg Spires and one other notable defensive back.
"I want to win it all so I can be like Deion (Sanders)," Watkins beamed.

Comment: Where did 'gay' culture come from?
Jacob Wilde February 13, 2013
In a comment piece for PinkNews, Jacob Wilde assesses the different historical facets of the LGBT community.
Something that has always left me slightly baffled is the idea, prevalent it seems in the LGBT community, that there is a 'gay' way to act, a 'gay' culture and that to deviate from this is indicative of trying to stay in the closet.
When we think of a 'gay community', there is a mixed set of ideas that we can attach to the concept. Among the positive we count inclusivity, tolerance and acceptance, and perhaps a certain cheerful, party-going nature. And yet it often seems that the acceptance forms a shallow layer for many. For, while acceptance is free-flowing for those who conform to certain ideals, an aggression can sometimes seem to arise against those who are seen as betraying the community.
Firstly there are accusations against gay men, on whom I shall focus, who do not conform to behavioural stereotypes. I read recently about a website set up for gay men who struggle to find a place in the 'gay community', having interests instead in gaming, driving, sports or some other such area. This was not in any way an attack on the LGBT community, it was not an insult against people. It simply said that these men had struggled to integrate themselves into a certain culture, and thus found community amongst each other without having to try and be something they were not. Yet the response left me shocked; people claimed that they were trying to hide in the closet, or that they were somehow betraying the gay community.
If we were to go back one hundred years, we would find Britain a very different place. Sexuality did not really exist as a concept. A vibrant 'queer' culture – encompassing what we may now consider the LGBTQ community – developed in London in particular (although not exclusively) through the twentieth century; one needs only look at the 1926 Chelsea Arts Ball. The New Year's Eve costume ball was renowned for attracting working-class queens, wearing drag and socialising without fear of repression due to the police's inability to act within the boundaries of the hall. But the 'queer' culture that emerged was not limited to a 'gay' community; it was more of a working-class phenomenon than one of sexuality. Queer culture allowed the inclusion of a great number of men who were probably 'straight', but also saw no problem with having sex with other men for a bit of fun or money. Why? Because there was no real stigma against it in the way there is today.
Meanwhile, the middle and upper classes had a very different culture; open and fashionable homosexual fraternities existed in Oxford and Cambridge in the inter-war period, but there was less of the 'Queer' culture's flamboyance and display.
Ultimately, there can be no legitimacy in refusing to accept diverse cultures. One size does not fit everyone, and trying to claim that anyone who does not conform to a fairly flamboyant expression of sexuality is insecure is damaging the 'gay community' – if such a thing even exists. All it really tells us is that some people are brought up to be very open and expressive, while others are more subdued or restrained. Accusations of being 'in-the-closet' or 'insecure' because a person doesn't conform to a particular stereotype are wrong and ultimately damaging. We simply need to realise that a great number of people act the way they do because they're most comfortable that way – trying to force them to conform to a social expectation is as bad a crime when committed by the LGBT community as it is by the heterosexual community.

Q: how to force redraw contents inside a NSScrollView I put NSTextView + NSImageView + NSMatrix + NSTextView in a NSScrollView. And I scroll this scrollview to top using following code -
NSPoint pointToScrollTo = NSMakePoint(0, NSMaxY([[singleScrollView documentView] frame]) - [[singleScrollView contentView] bounds].size.height);
[[singleScrollView contentView] scrollToPoint: pointToScrollTo];
[singleScrollView reflectScrolledClipView: [singleScrollView contentView]];

But the problem is when it finish scrolling to top the view gets messed up.. Here is a screenshot -

I tried to force redraw contents with no luck using this -
[txtQTitle setNeedsDisplay:YES];
[viewOptions setNeedsDisplay:YES];
[singleScrollView setNeedsDisplay:YES];

Do anyone have any idea why this is causing and how should be solved?
Edit 1 - When I scroll the view using mouse scroll some part of the singleScrollView gets ok .. here is a screenshot of this -

A: Try with [[yourScrollView contentView] setCopiesOnScroll:NO]. I think, it should solve your problem.

State refuses to identify municipal professionals enrolled in state pension plan. Claims that those professionals have a "reasonable expectation of privacy"
In 2007, the New Jersey Legislature enacted N.J.S.A. 43:15A-7.2, which was intended to curtail the participation of professional service providers such as attorneys and engineers in the New Jersey Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS). The law, which became effective on January 1, 2008, made these professionals ineligible for PERS participation as of the expiration date of their existing contract or annual appointment.
Despite this mandate, the New Jersey's Office of the State Comptroller (OSC), in a July 17, 2012 report entitled "Improper Participation By Professional Service Providers In The State Pension System," (on-line here) found that "an overwhelming majority" the municipalities and school districts it surveyed had "failed to comply with the statutory requirement to remove independent contractors from PERS." This failure, the OSC report noted, has the potential to cost the state millions of dollars in inappropriate future pension benefits."
According to the report, the OSC developed a list of 332 professionals, retained by 228 municipalities and school districts, who remained in the PERS system after the law took effect. The OSC then conducted a survey of 58 of the 228 local units and several of those municipalities surveyed are mentioned in the report.
Asserting that "the criminal investigation has concluded," Gloucester Township (Camden County) municipal attorney David F. Carlamere has disclosed police reports of a "theft of services" allegedly committed by former Township Public Works Director Len Moffa. I have previously blogged about this lawsuit here.
In a September 3, 2014 letter, Perth Amboy (Middlesex County) City Attorney Mark J. Blunda, provided a redacted copy of a two-page police report regarding an alleged sexual assault by one Perth Amboy school teacher against another. The letter and the report, on-line here, bring my lawsuit, which I blogged about here, to an end.
I just learned today that Roy Rogers, the Gloucester Township Housing Authority's (GTHA) former director, filed a lawsuit against the Authority earlier this year alleging that he was improperly fired on February 27, 2013 and that he "was terminated for his objection to unethical GTHA policies and actions." The lawsuit is on-line here.
The most specific allegations start on page 9 and include charges that Mayor David Mayer "became visibly angry and frustrated" when Rogers objected to awarding a contract for a development project to a person who did not submit a bid. He also charged that he upset Township officials when he "refused to request campaign donations at fundraisers from private contractors for GTHA commissioners and Township officials and candidates." He also claimed that he verbally objected to a land transfer made by GTHA Commissioner Cindy Carlamere and her husband, who is Gloucester Township Attorney David Carlamere, stating that it was "unethical and procedurally improper."
On August 29, 2014, I blogged an entry entitled "Thirteen recent ethics cases against Perth Amboy school board members" concerning several school ethics matters filed by former Perth Amboy school superintendent Janine Walker Caffrey and former elementary school principal Alvaro J. Cores against members of the Board of Education.
In my blog, I noted that there were two other ethics matters, bearing Case Nos. ECC-11709-13 and ECC-00806-14 that had been " withdrawn by agreement of all parties in anticipation of settlement or mediation." I promised to submit an additional OPRA request for records pertaining to those two cases.
Well known for his public advocacy and a frequent panelist and speaker throughout New Jersey, John Paff this year becomes the 15th inductee into the State Open Government Freedom of Information Hall of Fame. Known as the "Heroes of the Fifty States," the joint initiative of the National Freedom of Information Coalition (NFOIC) and the Society of Professional Journalists recognizes the recipient's "long and steady effort to preserve and protect the free flow of information about state and local government that is vital to the public in a democracy." Formal induction takes place on October 24 at the 2014 NFOIC Freedom of Information Summit in St. Petersburg, Florida.
On August 5, 2014, West Berlin attorney Donald M. Doherty, Jr. filed an Open Public Records Act (OPRA) lawsuit on my behalf against Gloucester Township (Camden County). The lawsuit, John Paff v. Township and Gloucester and Rosemary DiJosie, Township Clerk, Docket No. CAM-L-3147-14 is on-line here.
The lawsuit's basis is a tip from an informant that those in power in Gloucester Township government sought to remove a high-ranking employee from his position so that they could give the job to another person who was politically connected and favored. In order to prod the employee into leaving his position, those holding political sway allegedly arranged for the employee to be caught doing something illegal and then used a threat of arrest and prosecution to coerce him into resigning.
I have tracked down the following thirteen ethics matters that are pending or have recently closed against members of the Perth Amboy Board of Education. The New Jersey Libertarian Party's Open Government Advocacy Project, as a public service, has provided links to the source documents regarding each of these complaints.

Catholicism: The Pivotal Players St. Augustine and St. Benedict — Word on Fire
The second installment of the Pivotal Players series focuses on two saints from the fourth and fifth centuries. Bishop Robert Barron traces the lives and contributions of these two pivotal saints: St. Augustine of Hippo and St. Benedict of Nursia. St. Augustine, the Teacher, is possibly the best example of how faith in Christ changed a person. Augustine's narrative of personal transformation in his book Confessions provides a template for life in Christ that still rings true today. Many would argue that St. Benedict, the Monk, contributed more to saving western Christian culture than anyone else. Born just after Rome fell, Benedict founded the religious community that would, in time, preserve the best of the old and allow for the emergence of an authentic, Christian way of life. (©2019)

Have you ever heard about MPB or male pattern baldness? From the meaning of the acronym itself you can already tell what this condition is all about. Yes, that is right! Male pattern baldness is a type of disorder in men, generally linked to a sexual related condition, wherein a man experiences severe hair loss due to hormonal imbalances. Most of the time, the hair is lost around the crown area of the head forming a horseshoe like pattern. Although it does not sound that serious, for most males this can be very embarrassing especially for a man at his younger age. It lowers self-esteem and affects overall professional or social life. For men who care so much of their crowning glory, losing a lot of hair can be a nightmare and a life-changing situation. That is why if you think you cannot afford to lose hair and you feel uncomfortable with a new bald look, then you might as well consider generic propecia as an effective solution.

Hair is something that is common to all of us. While not all of us were born with hair, it is something that has become a relatively important part of our childhood and youth, even though we never really thought of it that way. Nevertheless, our hair is very important to us. There is nothing more than can reveal how important your hair is to you is the point when you start losing it. Yes, all of us lose hair that number in the dozens per day. Even so, our hair follicle that has shed hair still has the capacity to both produce and support hair. However, for men that unluckily possess the genetic trait that makes them grow bald, their hair follicles die in a pattern like manner, starting from the temples and crown and progresses until the two points meet.

When you see a bald man, you do not necessarily think about what that person is going through with his hair loss condition. Normally, you just see a bald man, well, as bald. However, if you are male and possess the genetic trait of those that undergo such condition, then you should reconsider your nonchalant view of the condition, especially if you value how your hair carries and elevates your overall physical appearance. If you do not have any immediate relatives that have the condition, then there is basically nothing to worry about. But if your male siblings or your father and/or uncle from either side of your parents possesses the trait, then you should consider using Propecia generic early on to at least stop or inhibit the onset progression of this hair loss condition.

When everyone else has come and gone, Eric Boateng will still be there standing tall and proud.
Great Britain's Lion. The Great Survivor from the inception of the national team back in 2006 to the present day, a link to the acorn that was planted to resurrect a quest for respectability on the European stage, which then bloomed enough to merit an invite into the Eden of the Olympic Games, to now, and EuroBasket 2017.
Friday's Group D opener against Belgium in Istanbul will make the centre 100 caps strong, a testament to his talent but also to the dedication of the former Brixton Top Cats junior to the national cause.
It seems so long ago now that, while still at university in the States, he was asked to try out for a place in what would become Chris Finch's first squad.
"I feel old," the 31-year-old laughs. "I got the call from Radmilla Turner in 2006 saying that I was one of the players who would be invited to train with the GB men's team and I was in such shock and awe and excitement.
"I will never forget that day and that feeling has stayed with me every summer and every game since then but it's pure euphoria that the national team wanted me and wanted me to be part of the programme.
The Olympics in his home city were an undoubted highlight. Promotions from Division B to A, the move from small town arenas and 3-star hotels to overseas camps and glamorous stopping points.
And back to basics, with every penny a prisoner following an era where it so often seemed money was there to be burnt.
"It's been such a rollercoaster of ups and downs of just how the programme has been managed, Boateng underlines. "Sure there have been some benefits and pluses to it but there have also been some trying times.
"But just trying to stick through it and it's not even been me – it's been the likes of Dan [Clark], Kieron [Achara] alongside me and just all the other players that have been with me, alongside me from its inception to now, each person has put in their part.
It has been tougher, he knows, ever since 2014 – and the undignified and unnecessary removal of funding from UK Sport that left British Basketball operating on a shoestring with their still-lofty ambitions hanging by a thread.
A meeting on Wednesday between the agency's chair Kath Grainger and representatives of those bodies left out in the cold, including basketball, offered the slimmest hope of a re-think.
No promises, no guarantees, but a pledge to discuss a more flexible approach.
Boateng, a member of the British Olympic Committee's Athletes Commission, has seen the exponential returns that even the smallest investment can bring.
He said: "I started playing at the Brixton Rec where many other players have come through. Just to have that opportunity to start my career off there … I think we need to create links right across Britain to prove those opportunities to play and follow their love.
Just as he once was. All grown-up, and then some, the old stager will have an immense role in Turkey over the five EuroBasket starters. Whatever GB bring in grit and guile, they give up in raw size with Boateng the only proven big on the roster.
Off the floor, he will exert a quiet influence too, born of experiences gained during a professional odyssey that saw him peek into the NBA during a training camp spell with the Denver Nuggets but which now has seen him sign up for a two-year spell in France at St. Vallier.
With a group of young pups in the fold, follow-my-lead is of huge value.
And he adds: "I try to bring that area of comfort. Sure I can give my advice and perspective on things. But they're all learning at their own pace.
It would be easy to see Boateng as a mentor when his playing career is done. He has the personality, the easy affinity – and a passion that has changed little since he eagerly stepped through the door eleven years ago.
He sees newcomers like Luke Nelson and late call-up Kofi Josephs now where he was then. Enthused and eager to impress.
"It's been impressive to see how professional and mature they are. Sure they're young but they're attention to detail in practice has been very, very good.

NWF View: Return of the Bison and the Power of the One Who Insists
Bison from Yellowstone come home to tribal lands
Larry J. Schweiger, President & Chief Executive Officer
"The unique power bestowed on each individual human being to do good and even change the course of history is quite often underestimated. Even with sophisticated organizations working on the cause of a conservation ethic, there is a tendency of most individuals to say, 'What can I do?' The same kind of logic prevails in elections when they say, 'What can my vote do?'" –Ralph W. Abele, from "One Who Insists"
RALPH ABELE UNDERSTOOD how one individual could change the course of history, perhaps from his bloody experience as a company commander in the U.S. Army's Third Armored Division, which invaded the beaches of Normandy in June 1944. The sole survivor in his landing craft, Ralph pressed on in four more European military campaigns before he later became one of my most inspiring Boy Scout leaders.
I thought of his admonition in March as I watched Sioux, Assiniboine and Gros Ventre tribal leaders celebrating, singing and even weeping as 61 wild bison were released on Montana's Fort Peck Reservation. For more than a century, Native Americans had sought to restore genetically pure bison to their treaty lands. This wintery night was a poignant moment in the tribes' long struggle for justice and restoration of their heritage.
The Long Struggle to Bring Bison Back to Tribal Lands
For most Americans, returning bison to tribal rangelands makes perfect sense, but to many nearby ranchers it constitutes a threat. So for decades, the last herd of free-roaming, pure American bison has been restricted largely to Yellowstone National Park. During those years, some 7,000 of the herd's "excess" bison have been killed rather than moved to suitable native-grassland habitats.
NWF has been committed to the restoration of bison to key western rangelands. For the past 20 years, the Federation has had formal ties with many tribes and the InterTribal Bison Cooperative, sharing a goal of restoring the animals to reservation lands.
After many concessions by the tribes and by state wildlife and federal agencies, the American bison finally came home on March 19 to Montana tribal lands. I witnessed this historic release during a brief nighttime blizzard. The drama was punctuated by last-minute courtroom maneuvers to block the release by ranchers who are concerned about loss of grazing areas for their livestock and damage to cattle pastures from escaped bison—two unwarranted fears. They will continue to fight the release.
Most people do not appreciate the deep ties connecting American Indians with bison or the full extent of the injustice caused by the slaughter of the animals in the late 19th century. Bison provided Indians with food, shelter and much more; they were central to tribal histories, cultures and spiritual life. We may have called these groups "Plains Indians," but they consider themselves "buffalo people," descended from generations of ancestors whose survival was intertwined with the thundering herds.
Witnessing History and a Victory for Wildlife
While participating in a press conference celebrating the release, I heard Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribal Chairman Floyd Azure reflect on the historic moment. "When we signed the Fort Laramie Treaty in 1851, we were told we would be able to hunt as long as the buffalo roam," he said. "That was taken from us, but the return of these bison will help heal some of the wounds gone by with the U.S. government."
This was a great day for all tribes and for the American bison. Perseverance by many partners, including the tribes, federal and state agencies, and dedicated efforts by NWF staff, donors and board members over many years finally has paid off. The new Fort Peck herd eventually will be divided, with some bison going to the nearby Fort Belknap Indian Reservation where the Assiniboine and Gros Ventre tribes also will propagate their own genetically pure bison.
"One person with enough tenacity can dig in his heels and say, 'This much and no more.' ... There are great causes to be followed, and victory always starts with one person hanging on by his teeth and saying, 'I will never give in.'" –Ralph W. Abele
I cannot remember an easy victory in conservation. Every change we try to make to benefit wildlife is met with pushback of one sort or another. To win the important battles ahead, we must be steadfast and even stubborn, willing to hang by our teeth. Your continued support matters to bison and to the future of all wildlife. Working together, we can and must win the battles for the natural world and for our children's future. We must never give in!
