Katie Compton Storms to Gateway Cross Cup Win in St. Louis – Updated: Photo Gallery
cyclocross magazine — September 27, 2012
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI – In race #2 of the Cross After Dark Series, Katie Compton (Trek Cyclocross Collective) resumed her winning ways, just three days after her back-to-back USGP Sun Prairie wins, by soloing to an easy win in front of Nicole Duke (Raleigh – Clement) and Ashley James (Fuji – KCCX). In a small field of just 10 Elite Women, the top three women quickly separated themselves from the rest of the field with a fast first lap, and then in a massive display of power on lap two, Compton detonated the field, putting a whopping 22 seconds in to Duke, leaving her and the rest of the field to fight for second.

Coming into the evening, all eyes were on the powerhouse Raleigh-Clement team, title sponsors of the event and boasting such talents as Nicole Duke and French National Champion Caroline Mani along with Belgian Ben Berden on the men's side. The team would not disappoint, taking a Berden win in the men's race and putting up a brave fight in the women's race against the unstoppable Katie Compton.
Duke recovered later in the race, matching Compton's speed in later laps but by then, the race all but decided. In the end, there was little pack racing, with the top four racers each separated from each other by nearly a minute. James stayed steady to hold third, while behind her, Rebecca Much (The Service Course | World Bicycle Relief) and Caroline Mani (Raleigh – Clement) battled for fourth, with Much winning that battle.
Surprisingly, since Duke, Much and Mani finished outside of the Cross After Dark Series points at CrossVegas, Compton ties Sanne van Paassen for the series lead and the leader's jersey. The series continues with the Lionheart International race on Saturday at the Cincy C3 Cyclocross Festival. Full results and lap times below the photo gallery.
With a course universally praised by competitors and a solid and growing fan base, the Gateway Cross Cup looks set to continue its growth and lock its position as a fixture of the ever growing domestic 'cross circuit.

It's simple. This use bool game attributes: BUTTON_0, BUTTON_1, BUTTON_DOWN, etc.
If bool is true, then button = press.
- It works only on HTML5.
Wow! Awesome job man! Cant wait to try this out!
Strange that does not work in dropbox. Must be HTTPS security problem.
So this works for Xbox controllers also, correct?
Hey I'm having some issues with this extension. It doesn't seem to work in the flash web player. How does it actually work? Do I use regular controller input after I've enabled it through the extension block? Do I have to run it with the html5? There's so much that's unclear. Otherwise it's great that you made this extension. And what do you mean when you say I have to use html template? And jQuery?
Also your stencyl projec uses an extension with a diffrent name, which completely ruins the point of having a stencyl project because all of the blocks are removed that's supposed to help you.
Sorry if I sound negative about this. Thanks in advance for an answer!
Hey I'm having some issues with this extension. It doesn't seem to work in the flash web player.
The Online Demo worked with his control?
How does it actually work? Do I use regular controller input after I've enabled it through the extension block?
It's simple. This use bool game attributes: BUTTON_0, BUTTON_1, BUTTON_DOWN, etc. If bool is true, then button = press.
The extension has a single block to activate it.
Do I have to run it with the html5? And what do you mean when you say I have to use html template? And jQuery?
In html template, insert your game.swf. Only this.
Ok. I updated the new file of project. Anyway, after enabling the extension you need to restart Stencyl.
I wonder if it were not free how that would be.
Ok I used your stencyl project, and the extension was enabled, and I put the Game.swf in the html template, and then I created a test project on newgrounds, the program loads, it seems, but the controller does not work for some reason. Your test program works though, with the same controller. And I checked, the extension was loaded into the program and it had the create block just where it's supposed to be.
If it works on the local server the code is ok. I tested it on dropbox and not worked.
So I put this site.
Anyway, the technology Gamepad API is still beta. I do not know what can be.
I think I am missing something here. I've been playing around with this extension for hours but I can't make this thing work.
I was able to install the extension and able to export the sample game you provided in flash. I think there will be an animation when you pressed a button. Anyway, if it's possible can you provide any flash game link that has this extension enabled? Thanks.
Does this work if i compile the game as html5 ?

Q: Equivalence of (M a >>= f) >>= g and M a >>= (f >>= g) in Haskell I have two Haskell functions that are equivalent.
triple :: Int -> Int
triple = do
  n <- id
  d <- (n+)
  (d+)

triple2 :: Int -> Int
triple2 = (id >>= (\n -> (n+))) >>= (\d -> (d+))

The signature of >>= is M a ->  (a -> M b) -> M b, so the parenthesis are used to stress the relation ship ((Ma >>= f) >>= f2) or M b >> f2.
However, this triple3 is also the same equivalent function as triple or triple2.
triple3 :: Int -> Int
triple3 = id >>= (\n -> (n+) >>= (\d -> (d+)))

What is the logic behind these equivalences?

A: This equivalence is the third of the Monad Laws and concerns itself  with associativity, so it is no surprise that triple2 and triple3 are equivalent. After all the  (->) r monad obeys the monad laws. The third monad law states that
(m >>= f) >>= g ≡ m >>= (\x -> f x >>= g)

In your case, you have m = id, f = \n -> (n+), and g = \d -> (d+). To prove why this law holds, we need to look at the definition of (>>=) for this monad. From this link, we get that
f >>= k = \ r -> k (f r) r

To verify the third monad law with this definition of (>>=), we'll use a couple rules:

*

*Definition of (>>=): f >>= k ≡ \ r -> k (f r) r

*Beta transformation: basically function application

*Function currying: (f x) y ≡ f x y
Now for the proof:
(m >>= f) >>= g
  ≡ (\ r1 -> f (m r1) r1) >>= g                             (Definition of (>>=))
  ≡ \ r2 -> g ((\ r1 -> f (m r1) r1) r2) r2                 (Definition of (>>=))
  ≡ \ r2 -> g (f (m r2) r2) r2                              (Beta transformation)
  ≡ \ r2 -> g ((f (m r2)) r2) r2                            (Function currying)
  ≡ \ r2 -> (\ r1 -> g ((f (m r2)) r1) r1) r2               (Beta transformation)
  ≡ \ r2 -> ((\ x -> (\ r1 -> g ((f x) r1) r1)) (m r2)) r2  (Beta transformation)
  ≡ \ r2 -> ((\ x -> f x >>= g) (m r2)) r2                  (Definition of (>>=))
  ≡ \ r2 -> (\ x -> f x >>= g) (m r2) r2                    (Function currying)
  ≡ m >>= (\ x -> f x >>= g)                                (Definition of (>>=))

The FBI raided Taylor City Hall, the home of Mayor Rick Sollars and several other locations Tuesday as part of an ongoing and wide-sweeping corruption investigation in Detroit and its suburbs.
FBI agents and members of the Detroit Area Public Corruption Task Force swooped into city hall around 10:30 a.m. and also raided the mayor's home on Hunter Circle.
Late Tuesday afternoon, the FBI declined to say what other locations were raided and what exactly authorities were investigating.
"The warrants were conducted as part of an ongoing public corruption investigation," Timothy R. Slater, special agent in charge of the FBI's Detroit office, says in a news release. "While I recognize the public's right to know what the FBI is doing on its behalf, we have a responsibility to protect the integrity of our investigation and, as importantly, we have a responsibility to protect the rights of individuals who have not been charged with any crimes."
No one was arrested Tuesday. The evidence likely will be presented to the U.S. Attorney's Office, which Slater said "will ultimately decide whether or not to prosecute."
The FBI's ongoing public corruption investigation has led to 17 convictions and criminal charges against at least 22 public officials and contractors, including towing magnate Gaper Fiore, trash titan Chuck Rizzo, Detroit City Councilman Gabe Leland and Clinton Township Trustee Dean Reynolds.
According to campaign finance records, Sollars received a $9,750 donation in 2013 from Rizzo Environmental Services, the trash-hauling contractor that has been at the center of the corruption investigation. Sollars also negotiated a no-bid contract with the company.
"If charges are ultimately filed, the substance of our investigation will become a matter of public record," Slater said.


The Klein House was built in c. 1858 and houses the National Historic Museum of Kleinburg. The museum contains photographs and artifacts from Kleinburg's rich past. The museum is organized by the Kleinburg Old Boys and staffed by volunteers.
The collection is open on weekends from Victoria Day to Thanksgiving.
The Klein House is but one stop on the Kleinburg historical walking tour. In the historically designated Village of Kleinburg, you will find that the atmosphere of early Canadian traditions and architecture joins with the modern amidst the growing urban setting of the City of Vaughan.
Founded by John Kline in 1848, this picturesque village nestled atop the Humber River Ridge is now home to many businesses including galleries, boutiques, design and home décor and gift shops, as well as several respected fine dining restaurants and indulgence cafés. The village centre is lined with many beautiful historical buildings that include the picturesque Kleinburg Railway Station (c. 1907).
The village of Kleinburg flanked on two sides by the West and East Branches of the Humber River is a haven of trees and wildlife and is protected as parkland with walking trails for you to enjoy.
The Kleinburg historical walking tour is self-guided thanks to a handy pamphlet that can be picked up at the National Historic Archives or at Artisa.

A strong storm in Kathmandu last evening gave a gloomy prelude of the things to come in Nepal. The shelters built in Tundikhel camp were blown away and people were seen struggling to set up fresh bamboo shelters to have a roof over their heads.
With the monsoon season not too far away and millions still homeless in Nepal, the need of temporary shelters is urgent.
The Tundikhel camp in Kathmandu city is home to almost 4000 people who have left their collapsed houses in Nepal capital to stay in these temporary shelters.
The tremors of May 12, brought more than 12,000 people to Tundikhel. Many lost their houses, others too scared to live inside buildings. Two-third of them have returned to homes but others like Pooja, have nowhere to go.
Having been rattled by the massive earthquake in Nepal on April 25, Pooja's life was turned upside down by the 7.0 magnitude aftershock on May 12.
She lost her husband, her house and all her belongings. Pooja had to send off her three children to live with her relatives in safer parts of Nepal. She then arrived in Tundikhel camp looking for food, water and shelter.
As our team went to see the 10,000 litre water tank installed by Oxfam in the camp, Pooja greets us in Hindi. She is currently living in one of the relief shelters, which houses seven people. The same shelter that has been uprooted by the storm.
Pooja has no money to buy medicines, no fixed shelter, limited food and water supply with no way to rebuild her home.
In was also heartening to see a group of volunteers from Patiala, India taking the time off from their work to come to the camp and dal and rice. They supply regular meals to the people – the only source of food for these 4000 people.
Oxfam has also built toilets and shower stalls for men and women in the camp. On the other side of the camp we saw another cluster of people. It is here we met Rajan Shreshta and Vivek Ranjiktar. They too have lost everything with the earthquake, but have volunteered with Oxfam, while staying at the camps.
Rajan and Vivek are amongst the many young men and women who keep these toilets clean in various shifts. The men on duty said the shower stalls will again be up and running in another two hours.

Diane Francis, highlighting the priority to embrace the needs of all parties in a conflict setting, writes: Thus it becomes possible for the conflict to be viewed inclusively and seen as a shared problem rather than in terms of opposition. Such shifts in perception are seen as possible if one assumes not only the existence of universal human needs but a human capacity for empathy for making the imaginative leap from what is needed for our own well being to an understanding of others' needs. (Francis, 2002:69) In thinking through the underlying purposes of ARROW I came across the writing of a prominent mediator and writer in the United States, John Paul Lederach, whose work became a major source of inspiration for making connections between the respective work and ideas of conflict practitioners and arts educators.
If you stand and look to the front, you can see the series of past events leading to this moment. The future is behind you. You cannot see it; you can only imagine it as you begin to move backwards towards it. To illustrate the past that lies before us, Lederach devised a 'set of embedded circles that flow towards the past as a way of exploring a more holistic understanding of the settings of cycles of violent conflict' (Lederach, 2005:141). The first circle includes recent events that may cover a time frame of weeks or months.
The arts provide a language and means to explore these long-term tensions, whereas the priority of resolution is to search for immediate solutions to presenting problems (Lederach, 2003). Lederach's book, The Moral Imagination (2005), is a key source of inspiration for the ARROW/Indra programme. He describes the moral imagination as the generation of transformative ideas and initiatives from within conflict settings: initiatives that symbolise ways in which cycles of violence may eventually be transcended.

Forget the maps app fiasco: When will Apple apologize for Lion upgrade?
By Michael Hiltzik
Sept. 28, 2012 12 AM PT
Is Apple losing its grip? Most people asking that question are referring to the maps app that comes bundled with iPhone 5. The app, which is Apple's attempt to wean its users off a superb map program created by its archrivals at Google, is a spectacular flop, the NFL replacement ref of the software world. It's so bad that Apple chief executive Tim Cook has issued a formal apology for it.
But when will Cook apologize for the disaster that is Lion upgrade 10.7.5?
That's an upgrade to the operating system I installed, unwisely, on my iMac desktop, a superb performer on which I haven't lost 10 minutes of work since I acquired it in mid-2010.
Until now.
Apple released Lion 10.7.5 on Sept. 19, the same day it released a larger upgrade called Mountain Lion. But because I'd already discovered that Scrabble for Mac, my favorite game, was mysteriously incompatible with Mountain Lion, I chose to stick with Lion and installed 10.7.5 to keep it current. That was a mistake I've evidently shared with thousands of other users, because the upgrade broke our Time Machine.
Mac users know Time Machine as a first-rate backup program that comes with every Apple computer. You plug in an external hard drive, and the system automatically backs up your hard drive to it every hour. It keeps an hourly backup for the previous 24 hours, daily backups covering the previous month, and weekly backups for all previous months.
Typically the hourly backup takes a few minutes to complete, and you don't even notice it happening because Time Machine works silently and in the background. But it's incredibly valuable: Even if your computer suffers a catastrophic meltdown, Time Machine saves you from losing more than an hour's work. And if you need to find a file or a version from a week ago, a month ago, or even more than a year ago, you can retrieve it from Time Machine.
Soon after installing the latest upgrade, I noticed that Time Machine was working a lot slower—sometimes spending hours on a simple backup that used to take minutes. Eventually I put in a call to Apple support, which initially expressed perplexity and had me run some simple diagnostics and disk cleanup programs on my system. But they didn't have a solution. They still don't.
Online forums for Mac users are burning up with complaints about exactly this problem. Plainly it's associated with the Lion upgrade and more specifically with the Mac's Spotlight program, which allows you to search your entire hard drive, and which also got all screwed up by the Lion upgrade. Users are waiting anxiously for Apple to issue a software patch to correct the problem, but so far it hasn't materialized.
Meanwhile we're getting absurd results from Mac programs that previously worked flawlessly. One of my fellow sufferers on the Apple.com online forum we all use as a support group just reported that his Time Machine is showing that his routine backup will be done in 54,015,439 days. "In other words, the year 149,999 AD," he writes. "Just in time for millennium."
Free-floating anxiety abounds: Does Apple know about the problem? Do they care about us? Will they issue a software fix or is this a plot to force us to move up to Mountain Lion? The bottom line is that this bug has made one of the Mac's best features nearly useless.
I've only been a Mac user for three years, so for all I know bugs like this aren't uncommon in Mac upgrades. But Apple isn't a company known for pushing buggy software out the door and fixing it at leisure — traditionally that's Microsoft's business model. So this experience is not only a big disappointment, but a disturbing hint that having developed a reputation as a company that could do no wrong, Apple is beginning to rest on its laurels.
I should mention that I have no complaints at all about Apple's support techs—they've devoted a lot of time to working with me (occasionally on their days off), they're faultlessly professional and empathetic, and they seem determined to help me find a solution. Other than Time Machine and Spotlight, my iMac keeps humming along; but it's unnerving that I can't automatically back up my work.
Somewhere, somehow, the Apple higher-ups let a flawed program sneak out the door — two programs, if you include maps. That could be coincidence, or it could be the beginning of a trend that leads to no good place. Over to you, Tim Cook.

'90 Day Fiancé : How Caesar met Maria
90 Day Fiancé fans recently met a new star in the show – Caesar Mack. This 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star claims to have fallen in love with a Ukrainian beauty named Maria. Unfortunately the two are only dating virtual and he never met her in real life.
Fans were immediately concerned that Caesar was being murdered, especially when he revealed how much money he sent his alleged "soulmate". However, a Reddit user claiming to know Caesar Mack in real life has claimed that he is performing an action.
How Caesar met Maria
Me and my boy chilling at the house
Caesar Mack (@caesar_mack)'in paylaştığı bir gönderi ( 22 Ağu, 2019, 7:05ös PDT )
Caesar Mack claims to have met his 90-day fiancé girlfriend, Maria, through a dating service. According to Caesar, he used a service called Anastasia Date, which he claims to "bring Americans and Ukrainian women together for a small price." The Anastasia Date website says they "connect singles around the world with their ideal partner."
Caesar says that Anastasia Date users can spend real money on gifts for the women on the website, who can then decide to send them back based on what they have sent. Caesar admitted that he had spent $ 450 to send Maria a card and flowers when he first sent her a message.
Caesar is a nail technician, as well as a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic. "I learned to do nails from my ex-girlfriend. She was my sweetheart in high school, we went out for thirteen years and when we parted, I was deeply sad. But I am still a hopeless romantic. It is very important for me to have someone who is my soulmate. Someone with whom I can walk to the beach, live my life and actually live our life in a kind of dream country, "explains Caesar.
Caesar sends Maria money
Caesar admitted in a shocking revelation that he had sent Maria a huge sum of money. In the course of their 5-year relationship, Caesar says he sent Maria $ 40,000. Allegedly he sends her around $ 800 a month.
During the premiere of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Season 3, it is clear that Caesar's choice to send so much money to Maria has influenced his lifestyle. His apartment, for example, is bare.
Caesar Mack has also spent a lot of money trying to set up airline tickets for herself and Maria – apparently losing money on cancellations when Maria withdraws from the plan. Viewers were treated to an uneasy conversation between Maria and Caesar in which he tried to convince her to meet.
Caesar has taken out a $ 2,000 loan from his boss to send Maria money for airline tickets to Mexico – it remains unclear if Maria will even meet Caesar in Mexico. Although he had not heard from her three days before, he made the trip and expects to meet her there and make a proposal.
One Reddit user claims it's staged
A Reddit user has stated that he knows Caesar Mack in real life, and that much of what viewers see is staged. Beware, there may be spoilers for the viewer who keep track of Caesar and his relationship.
The user wrote: 'He says that ALL the drama in their relationship was made up by producers. Not like, too much written but edited and there was quite a bit of acting on his side. "
The same user further claimed that Caesar's relationship with Maria is already over in real life. "Their relationship ended before the show even started – and she wasn't interested in a camera, which was the nail in the box," they wrote.
The most striking is that the user wrote: "He only took part in the show to build a film roll – he doesn't get a TON (like 1200 an episode I think he said?). But they pay more for the Tell All, pay for travel and so on for many shots and he wants to do commercial work – so he took this as an ACTIVE work. His girlfriend was aware of that [sic]. "
Only time will tell if what this user has written is the truth, but it will surely keep fans wondering what is real and what is not when it comes to 90 Day Fiancé.

Our Workplace Case Study
Since we introduced our global inclusion and diversity strategy in 2013, we have significantly increased our understanding of what is required to create a workplace where everyone is treated with respect and contributes to the Company's success.
Specific learnings and observations include:
A commitment from the Board of Directors and executive leaders is essential to operationalize efforts.
There must be an equal focus on diversity (increasing representation in certain groups) and inclusion (ensuring diversity thrives through support from teams, peers and others) to teach inclusive practices to majority groups and improve retention among minority groups.
Data is crucial for analyzing historical trends, identifying root causes, forecasting, tracking progress and validating hypotheses.
Our employee-led and executive leadership-sponsored business resource groups (BRGs), which we have at each operation, are tremendous assets in creating an even more inclusive workplace.
Removing basic symbols of exclusion – such as offering women's uniforms and ensuring rooms for women who are nursing are available at mine sites – is critical.
These learnings are reflected in our refreshed global inclusion and diversity strategy, which details our journey toward 2030 across four key areas:
Inclusive leadership – embedding our value of inclusion and the importance of diversity in our culture;
Disrupt people systems – improving diversity through initiatives across the entire employee lifecycle;
Leverage accelerators – dedicating resources and actions to accelerate progress (e.g., new projects and operations that provide opportunities to consider the employee mix); and
Metrics – expanding diversity metrics, introducing inclusion metrics and continuing to hold senior leaders accountable.
This refreshed strategy leverages the long-term nature of our commitment to the Paradigm for Parity framework, which aims to create a more inclusive workplace and one where women and men have equal opportunities. A critical component of the strategy focuses on improving our inclusion metrics in addition to the existing diverse representation metrics around gender, nationals and local/indigenous employees. In 2018, we identified five metrics of inclusion that provide a more balanced measure of both an inclusive workplace and a diverse workforce:
Global engagement survey – We will continue to measure employees' views of Newmont's commitment to our value of inclusion and the business implications of this measure.
Symbols of exclusion – In 2018, we identified and began to address several basic symbols of exclusion across the business. Going forward, we will continue to identify and eliminate any additional symbols of exclusion within Newmont and engage with the mining industry to do the same.
Education – We want to measure not only the participation in, but also the impact of, inclusive leadership, unconscious bias and other training efforts.
BRGs – Along with evaluating the number and diversity of our BRGs, we want to measure their impact on participants and the business.
People systems – We aim to measure the impact of ongoing "disruption" trials in our talent-related processes – such as blind resumes, inclusive job postings, and diverse hiring slates and interview panels – on attracting, hiring and retaining more diverse talent.
We are committed to advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goal to achieve gender equality (SDG-5), and we believe that progressing an inclusive workplace culture is a critical part of tackling the challenge of retaining and attracting top female talent in the mining industry.

Stars gear up for Macy's Passport show
LOS ANGELES "It is fun. Its fashion and glamour and you can't miss it," said Peter Gurski of Project Angel Food. "All of the beautiful people are here -- boys and girls."
The night will be filled with fashion, fantasy, music and magic. The 28th Annual Macy's Passport is just one week away and organizers are excited about its prospects.
"We are probably helping someone that you know," said Gurski. "So come on out, support us and have fun."
It all started in the Macy's employee cafeteria in 1982 to raise awareness for HIV/AIDS and has since grown, raising more than $28 million.
Event proceeds benefit Project Angel Food and AIDS Project Los Angeles.
"In this economy with the recession it has been really tough. With state budget cuts our clients have been hit really hard," said Craig Thompson of AIDS Project Los Angeles. "The funding this year is even more important than it would be in a particular year."
The show is transformed into a compilation of high end fashion and entertainment and has been renamed, Glamorama.
This year's show will include live performances from Macy Gray and Eric Hutchinson, alongside collections from Tommy Hilfiger, Marc Jacobs and Calvin Klein to name a few.
This year the show will be held at the historical Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles at 8 p.m. The new vibe is aimed at all audiences.
"There is not a bad seat in this theater," said Thompson. "It will be wonderful if you want to come out and have a great Thursday evening and see a great show. It is never hard to spot celebrities."

Solving problems through scientific inquiry is one of the bedrocks of cultural heritage conservation. Heritage conservation science is a well-established field, nevertheless, to remain relevant to current and future priorities it is necessary periodically to examine established approaches, especially in the ways conservation science operates and connects within the heritage sector and beyond.
In October 2013, ICCROM together with a consortium of 15 institutional partners from 14 countries organised an international think tank to critically reflect on the current role and future directions of science in the field of cultural heritage conservation: The ICCROM Forum 2013 on Conservation Science. This think tank brought together 80 professionals from diverse disciplines and contexts within the heritage sector to critically reflect on the current role of science in the field of cultural heritage conservation, and to set key priorities for a more impactful future.
The topics discussed at the Forum centered on three main aspects: the role of science within the cultural heritage sector, its contribution to wider society, and future strategic directions for conservation science.
An outline of the Forum format, themes and discussion topics is given below.
Each day started in plenary, with a single keynote speaker drawn from outside cultural heritage conservation to provide inspiration and fresh perspectives.
Following this, the meeting broke into small discussion groups each focusing on a particular thematic. At each discussion table, one group member presented a case-study paper related to the group topic, to initiate and stimulate the discussions.
On the third and final day of the Forum, discussion groups pulled together the findings of the first two days to arrive at a series of key recommendations for the field.
The topics discussed at the Forum centered on three main aspects: the role of science within the cultural heritage sector, its contribution to wider society, and future strategic directions for conservation science. A brief description of each theme and corresponding discussion topics is given below.
How can science connect with and be of greater benefit to conservation practice?
The primary purpose of conservation science is to support the work of other heritage professionals in caring for heritage and communicating its values. The relevance and effectiveness of conservation science are therefore determined by how closely it aligns itself to the needs of its immediate end users, and how well it engages and communicates with them.
Needs and priorities change, and for conservation science to remain relevant it must – like any other science sector – be agile enough to respond. This requires not only good needs assessment, planning and strategy development, but also professionals who are willing and able to adapt their skill sets to changing requirements, and collaborate closely with end users. Moreover, to be effective, the knowledge, tools and know how generated through such collaborative research need to be disseminated in ways that facilitate uptake in conservation management and practice.
Bridging the gap between research and practice: Changing practice through research. When does it happen and why? How can it be measured?
How can conservation science connect with and contribute to wider societal priorities?
Connecting out to address broader societal challenges is a high priority in many fields, and today professional sectors are increasingly rethinking the ways in which they engage with the rest of society. In the field of conservation science, more often than not, attention is centred on its role to enhance the preservation of heritage assets. To be relevant and impactful, however, the sector's focus needs to shift towards its greater goal which is to enhance the benefit it delivers to society.
Conservation science has a positive contribution to make through enhancing people's understanding, enjoyment and engagement with heritage.
Also, assuming a responsibility to contribute economic, environmental and social sustainability, is not only ethical, but also pragmatic – considering that a large part of the conservation sector is publicly funded.
Enhancing Access and Quality of Experience: How can science contribute to provide more and better access to heritage?
Environmental Policies: How science can contribute to green policies for conservation?
How can we build an integrated and impactful future for conservation science?
Building upon the outcomes of the previous thematic discussions, the concluding theme aimed to synthesize the findings and make strategic recommendations for the sector. These focus on enhancing the integration, relevance, and impact of the conservation science within the cultural heritage conservation sector, and its capacity to deliver wider societal benefit.
Connecting In: How can science connect with and be of greater benefit to conservation practice?
Connecting Out: How can conservation science connect with and contribute to world societal priorities?
Building the Future: How can we build an integrated and impactful future for science in conservation?
The Forum recommendations centred around the common concern of responsibility, in terms of the ability of the sector to provide benefit through relevant research and innovation, and also being seen as doing so in order to leverage support.
Looking ahead to creating a more impactful future for conservation science, the Forum concluded that focus should shift towards setting strategic priorities, promoting engagement and dialogue with stakeholders beyond the sector (e.g. policy makers and the public), as well as strengthening the role of specific actors within the sector (e.g. conservation organizations and educational institutions) to carry this forward.


In the course of the most recent decade, numerous colleges and set up scholastics have started to talk about the idea of Internet Culture. Since individuals have started to associate online nearly to such an extent, and frequently more than, they talk disconnected, it is inescapable that we have started to see the ascent of totally electronic networks. These people group show all indistinguishable attributes from traditional geo-social networks, yet exist altogether in a virtual space. The greater part of these gatherings began on or ventured into expansive message sheets. While probably the most established destinations might be gone, we can see their fingerprints on these advanced gatherings.
The birthplaces of Internet interchanges are established for the most part in what was called Usenet, which was basically an accumulation of talk rooms made to examine explicit subjects or diversions. This early style of correspondence was immediately received and disentangled for the majority at the introduction of America Online, the primary standard course to the Internet. The landing page offered access to the great talk rooms, and also connections to the recently made locales for conventional retail and excitement organizations. While a few people immediately received the talk capacity of dispatcher, a considerable lot of the first Usenet bunches moved to what we currently call discussions.
Gatherings, and message sheets, turned into the go-to place to talk about your interests, including sports, vehicles, home fix, or motion pictures and TV. These content gatherings developed with the innovation and moved toward becoming picture discussions. The absolute most well known and notorious destinations on the Internet are in reality simply customary picture discussions, which incorporate spots like 4chan, Reddit, Livejournal, and Tumblr.
These areas turned into the places for web networks, since they had the least limitations on what could be referenced. With honest genuineness, numerous people started to become used to the identities of different clients, which lead to setting up trust and shared encounters. Shared encounters are the premise of cleverness, which is frequently the paste of a network and the quickest method to make conspicuous social topics. These subjects and thoughts are named "images." Even however images exist outside of the Internet, they are made and spread unquestionably more quickly in advanced media.
These gatherings of individuals gradually made spaces where they shared a kind of verifiable vernacular dependent on things that occurred in the past on the site. Much the same as how you and your neighbor may bond over griping about uproarious youngsters or late waste get, or by respecting each other's vacation shows, these electronic gatherings thought back about critical remark strings, comical YouTube recordings, and pictures of felines.

The Info List - Walter Camp
Walter Chauncey Camp (April 7, 1859 – March 14, 1925) was an American football
American football player, coach, and sports writer known as the "Father of American Football". Among a long list of inventions, he created the sport's line of scrimmage and the system of downs.[1] With John Heisman, Amos Alonzo Stagg, Pop Warner, Fielding H. Yost, and George Halas, Camp was one of the most accomplished persons in the early history of American football. He attended Yale College, where he played and coached college football. Camp's Yale teams of 1888, 1891, and 1892 have been recognized as national champions. Camp was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame
College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1951. Camp wrote articles and books on the gridiron and sports in general, annually publishing an "All-American" team. By the time of his death, he had written nearly 30 books and more than 250 magazine articles.

Life[edit] Early years[edit] Camp was born in the city of New Britain, Connecticut, the son of Leverett Lee and Ellen Sophia (Cornwell) Camp. Walter Camp
Walter Camp was of English descent. His first immigrant ancestor was the English colonist Nicholas Camp, who came from Essex, England and arrived in colonial New England in 1630, arriving first in Massachusetts and then moving to Connecticut that same year.[2] He attended Hopkins Grammar School in New Haven, entered Yale College in 1875, and graduated in 1880.[3] At Yale he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon
Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, the Linonian Society, and Skull and Bones.[3] He attended Yale Medical School from 1880 to 1883,[1] where his studies were interrupted first by an outbreak of typhoid fever and then by work for the Manhattan Watch Company. Playing career[edit] In 1873 Camp attended a meeting where representatives from Columbia, Rutgers, Princeton, and Yale universities created the intercollegiate football association (IFA). The representatives created the rule that each team is only allowed 15 plays per drive. Camp played as a halfback at Yale from 1876 to 1882. Harvard
Harvard player Nathaniel Curtis took one look at Camp, then only 156 pounds, and told Yale captain Gene Baker "You don't mean to let that child play, do you? ... He will get hurt."[4][5] Camp worked for the New Haven Clock Company beginning in 1883, working his way up to chairman of the board of directors.[3] Family[edit] On June 30, 1888, Camp married Alice Graham Sumner, sister of sociologist William Graham Sumner. They had two children: Walter Camp, Jr. (born 1891), who attended Yale as well and was elected as a member of Scroll and Key
Scroll and Key in 1912, and Janet Camp Troxell (born 1897).[6] Coaching career[edit] Camp served as the head football coach at Yale from 1888 to 1892 before moving to Stanford University, where he coached in December 1892 and in 1894 and 1895. On Christmas 1894, he and Amos Alonzo Stagg's Chicago Maroons organized an early intersectional contest. Father of American football[edit] Camp was on the various collegiate football rules committees that developed the American game from his time as a player at Yale until his death. English rugby rules at the time required a tackled player, when the ball was "fairly held," to put the ball down immediately for scrummage. Camp proposed at the U.S. College Football
College Football 1880 rules convention that the contested scrimmage be replaced with a "line of scrimmage" where the team with the ball started with uncontested possession. This change effectively created the evolution of the modern game of American football
American football from its rugby football origins. He is credited with innovations such as the snap-back from center, the system of downs, and the points system as well as the introduction of the now-standard offensive arrangement of players—a seven-man line and a four-man backfield consisting of a quarterback, two halfbacks, and a fullback. Camp was also responsible for introducing the "safety," the awarding of two points to the defensive side for tackling a ball carrier in his own end zone followed by a free kick by the offense from its own 20-yard line to restart play. This is significant as rugby union has no point value award for this action, but instead awards a scrum to the attacking side five meters from the goal line.
Camp as he appears at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.
In 2011, reviewing Camp's role in the founding of the sport and of the NCAA, Taylor Branch
Taylor Branch also credited Camp with cutting the number of players on a football team from 15 to 11 and adding measuring lines to the field. However, Branch noted that the revelation in a contemporaneous McClure's
McClure's magazine story of "Camp's $100,000 slush fund," along with concern about the violence of the growing sport, helped lead to President Theodore Roosevelt's intervention in the sport. The NCAA
NCAA emerged from the national talks, but worked to Yale's disadvantage relative to rival (and Roosevelt's alma mater) Harvard, according to Branch.[7] Writing[edit] Despite having a full-time job at the New Haven Clock Company, a Camp family business, and being an unpaid yet very involved adviser to the Yale football team, Camp wrote articles and books on the gridiron and sports in general. By the time of his death, he had written nearly 30 books and more than 250 magazine articles. His articles appeared in national periodicals such as Harper's Weekly, Collier's, Outing, Outlook, and The Independent, and in juvenile magazines such as St. Nicholas, Youth's Companion, and Boys' Magazine. His stories also appeared in major daily newspapers throughout the United States. He also selected an annual "All-American" team. According to Richard P. Borkowski, "Camp was instrumental, through his extensive writing and lectures in attaching an almost mythical atmosphere of manliness and heroism to the game not previously known in American team sport."[8] By the age of 33, twelve years after graduating from Yale, Walter Camp had already become known as the "Father of Football." In a column in the popular magazine Harper's Weekly, sports columnist Caspar Whitney had applied the nickname; the sobriquet was appropriate because, by 1892, Camp had almost single-handedly fashioned the game of modern American football. Eastern bias[edit] The dominance of Ivy League players on Camp's All-America teams led to criticism over the years that his selections were biased against players from the leading Western universities, including Chicago, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Notre Dame.[9][10][11] Many selectors picked only Eastern players. For example, Wilton S. Farnsworth's 1910 All-American eleven for the New York Evening Journal was made up of five players from Harvard, two from West Point, and one each from Yale, Princeton, Penn, and Brown.[12] The selectors were typically Eastern writers and former players who attended only games in the East. In December 1910, The Mansfield News, an Ohio newspaper, ran an article headlined: "All-American Teams of East Are Jokes: Critics Who Never Saw Western Teams Play to Name Best in Country -- Forget About Michigan, Minnesota and Illinois."[9] The article noted: "Eastern sporting editors must be devoid of all sense of humor, judging by the way in which they permit their football writers to pick 'All-American' elevens. What man in the lot that have picked 'All-American' elevens this fall, saw a single game outside the North Atlantic States? With a conceit all their own they fail to recognize that the United States reaches more than 200 miles in any direction from New York. ... Suppose an Ohio football writer picked 'All-American' teams. Ohio readers would not stand for it. But apparently the eastern readers will swallow anything."[9] The Daily Dozen exercise regimen[edit] Camp was a proponent of exercise, and not just for the athletes he coached. While working as an adviser to the United States military during World War I, he devised a program to help servicemen become more physically fit.
Walter Camp
Walter Camp has just developed for the Naval Commission on Training Camp Activities a "short hand" system of setting up exercises that seems to fill the bill; a system designed to give a man a running jump start for the serious work of the day. It is called the "daily dozen set-up", meaning thereby twelve very simple exercises.[13]
Both the Army and the Navy used Camp's methods.[14] The names of the exercises in the original Daily Dozen, as the whole set became known, were hands, grind, crawl, wave, hips, grate, curl, weave, head, grasp, crouch, and wing. As the name indicates, there were twelve exercises, and they could be completed in about eight minutes.[15] A prolific writer, Camp wrote a book explaining the exercises and extolling their benefits. During the 1920s, a number of newspapers and magazines used the term "Daily Dozen" to refer to exercise in general.[16] Starting in 1921 with the Musical Health Builder record sets, Camp began offering morning setting-up exercises to a wider market.[17] In 1922, the initiative reached the new medium of radio.[18] Head coaching record[edit]

Commission/ Chairman's Message
Welcome to the website of the Commission des services juridiques, the agency charged with administering Québec's legal aid system. The legal aid system was established in 1973 and is recognized as being original, creative and unique. More than 40 years later, a number of other legislatures have drawn inspiration from Québec's model when establishing or updating their legal aid system.
Over the years, Québec's legal aid network has had a considerable impact on access to justice and has played a significant role in the dissemination of legal information to the public. Whether through its participation in the legislative process or through the more than nine million instances in which it has provided services to litigants in Québec, our legal aid system has shown itself to be not only an essential service for eligible litigants, but also an indispensable component of the government's policy to improve access to justice.
The January 1, 2014 increase in eligibility thresholds for free legal aid and the increase of January 1, 2016, which are based on the minimum wage and are maintained at that level through an indexation clause, form part of the measures intended to offer citizens better access to the justice system.
In addition to learning more about Québec's legal aid system and obtaining legal information, by visiting our website you can find out the eligibility criteria for free legal aid services and for services requiring a contribution. Did you know that even if you are not eligible for free legal aid you may be able to obtain legal services in return for a maximum fee ranging from $100 to $800, depending on your situation? To find out more, please visit our webpage on Services requiring a contribution . You can also contact staff at the Legal Aid office nearest you in order to determine your eligibility.
In addition, for the first time since the creation of the legal aid system, a new legal aid service in family law matters is available to everyone, regardless of the recipient's financial situation. Since October 10, 2013, citizens can contact a legal aid office to take advantage of the Homologation Assistance Service (HAS) in order to obtain the modification of a judgment or the recalculation of support payments initially established by a court. More information on this service is available under the "Homologation" tab.
Moreover, since April 1, 2014, the CSJ has been responsible for managing another service, the Service administratif de rajustement des pensions alimentaires pour enfants (SARPA). Under certain conditions, this purely administrative service, which is also offered to everyone regardless of income, allows parents to have child support payments recalculated without having to use a lawyer or go to court. More information about this service is available at www.sarpaquebec.ca.
Until next time, enjoy your visit!

Daredevil Pulls No Punches
By Jon Winkler Apr 16, 2015
The funny thing about Marvel studios as of late is that they're trying really hard to distract people from the fact that they deal in superheroes. In the movies, they've turned Captain America into Ethan Hunt and made big money putting a raccoon and a talking tree in space. The same goes for their work on television, with another Mission: Impossible rift (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) and a World War II spy drama (Agent Carter). Continuing with their progressing conquest of all forms of media, Marvel is now in a deal with Netflix to produce more TV adaptations. Their first shot is a tricky one with an adaptation of one of Marvel's most acclaimed costumed crime-fighters: the man without fear, Daredevil. Not only is this Marvel's second attempt at the character after the underwhelming 2003 movie with Ben Affleck, but it also creates the challenge of l making the hero of Hell's Kitchen enjoyable for the new Marvel generation. In this case, they pull no punches.
Daredevil premiered its entire debut season on Netflix on April 10, and it's Marvel's first out-and-out successful TV show since The Avengers were featured in Disney stores. Created by writer/director Drew Goddard (The Cabin in the Woods), Daredevil jumps into the tale of blind attorney Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) as he and his partner, Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) establish an independent law firm in Hell's Kitchen. Murdock and Nelson's first big case is defending Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll), a secretary at a construction company who wakes up in her apartment with blood on her hands and a dead man on the floor. Page believes she's being framed for murder to keep her from exposing an embezzlement scheme. Keeping the scheme under wraps is Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. The Kingpin (Vincent D'Onofrio), an organized crime boss looking to clean up Hell's Kitchen. Little do these people know that Mr. Murdock dons a skin-tight black attire and roams the city fighting crime.
Being on Netflix is certainly appropriate for the dark atmosphere of Daredevil, because there's no Agent Coulson(esque?)-sunshine here. Daredevil is a dirty, brutal and dark crime drama that owes as much to David Fincher as it does Stan Lee. Everything is either faded into near darkness (like an exceptional one-shot fight scene between Daredevil and a hallway of Russian gangsters) or exposed to unflattering fluorescent white light (the first physical look at Kingpin as he stares at a white painting in an art gallery), which makes nothing seem polished or staged. Daredevil takes advantage of its little restrictions on Netflix with its graphic violence and expertly staged fight scenes in condensed settings that hark to Oldboy or The Raid. But the violence here isn't graphic for the sake of being graphic, in fact, it's kept to a restrained amount on certain episodes (especially in the first half of the season) to keep focus on the story. Admittedly, the violence somewhat overshadows the story after the seventh episode, but it's well choreographed and doesn't succumb to shaking-camera syndrome.
The acting is also top-notch, with Charlie Cox (HBO's Boardwalk Empire) embodying the wholesome and friendly Matt Murdock and the brooding intensity of Daredevil. He mixes the two together in solitary moments and shows his battle scars. There are the obligatory flashbacks which provide backstory and an entire episode dedicated to how Murdock got his skills, but Cox shows that Murdock isn't invincible. Cox has great support in Elden Henson (leagues away from Fulton Reed in The Mighty Ducks) and Deborah Ann Woll (funnier and more heartfelt than her work in True Blood) as his legal colleagues. There's also the question of killing while in costume in scenes with civilian nurse Claire Temple (the always wonderful Rosario Dawson). The cherry on this ice cream sundae of acting talent is Vincent D'Onofrio, who acts circles around everyone else as Kingpin. Instead of just being a big black suit with a cue ball for a head, D'Onofrio brings a great amount of sympathy to the character, especially with his backstory revealed in the eighth episode. He's soft-spoken, intelligent, compassionate and vicious all at the same time. I know award shows not voted by texting frown on acting in comic-book media, but someone better give D'Onofrio an acting trophy for this soon.
Marvel's television output has felt very safe, so it's refreshing to see them take a risk again with Daredevil. It doesn't rely on the presence of Daredevil onscreen to feed fanboys and it doesn't sugarcoat details to bring in the Disney crowd. Daredevil feels strong and independent, not attending to a formula. It's barely even a superhero show, but a gritty crime drama with a touch of pulp. It's sure to have competition (Marvel has two more Netflix shows on the way), but like Battlin' Jack Murdock in the ring, Daredevil will just get up and hit harder.

Number Concentrations and Modal Structure of Indoor/Outdoor Fine Particles in Four European Cities. Aerosol Air Qual. Res. 17: 131-146. https://doi.org/10.4209/aaqr.2015.04.0267
Indoor/outdoor measurements have been performed in four European cities.
The characteristics of indoor and outdoor size distributions were determined.
Indoor activities affected the characteristics of the indoor modal structure.
Indoor activities resulted in the strong presence of Aitken mode particles.
Indoor/outdoor aerosol size distribution was measured in four European cities (Oslo–Norway, Prague–Czech Republic, Milan–Italy and Athens–Greece) during 2002 in order to examine the differences in the characteristics of the indoor/outdoor modal structure and to evaluate the effect of indoor sources to the aerosol size distributions. All the measurement sites were naturally ventilated and were occupied during the campaigns by permanent residents or for certain time periods by the technical staff responsible for the instrumentation. Outdoor particle number (PN) concentrations presented the higher values in Milan and Athens (median values 1.4 × 104 # cm–3 and 2.9 × 104 # cm–3 respectively) as a result of elevated outdoor emissions and led to correspondingly higher indoor values compared to Oslo and Prague. In absence of indoor activities, the indoor concentrations followed the fluctuations of the outdoor concentrations in all the measurement sites. Indoor activities (cooking, smoking, etc.) resulted in elevated indoor PN concentrations (maximum values ranging between 1.7 × 105 # cm–3 and 3.2 × 105 # cm–3) and to I/O ratios higher than one. The I/O ratios were size dependant and for periods without indoor activities, they presented the lowest values for particles < 50 nm (0.51 ± 0.15) and the ratios increased with fine particle size (0.79 ± 0.12 for particles between 100–200 nm). The analysis of the modal structure showed that the indoor aerosol size distribution characteristics differ from the outdoors under the effect of indoor sources. The percentage of unimodal size distributions increased during indoor emissions, compared to periods without indoor sources, along with the number concentration of Aitken mode particles, indicating emissions in specific size ranges according to the type of the indoor source.

What's Wrong With Your Internet Service?
AT&T VS. Google – FIGHT!
It is possible that in the very near future Internet providers, including mobile broadband, will be regulated much like a public utility.
Boss – Oh, it's you. What can I do for you?
Cynic - Well, I had this really brilliant idea. It will raise security awareness amongst your users and let your customers know how seriously we take their privacy.
Boss – Sounds interesting, what's your plan?
Cynic – Well I was thinking I could deliver a presentation on infosec to the shareholders at the annual general meeting.
Boss – Errrm it's a good idea, but do you have experience in presenting?
Cynic – Pah, who needs experience? I mean its just talking, if you can talk to one person, you can talk to a thousand at the same time!
Boss – But what will you talk about?
Cynic – Oh just general infosec stuff. I talk about security all day long, I'm sure I can come up with some relevant stuff on the spot.
Boss – You can't just make it up on the fly at the AGM! You need to get your presentation prepared, approved and practise it before I'll let you even utter a single word!!!
Cynic – But think of all the benefit you'll get from me delivering a top notch presentation.
Boss – Now you're just being silly. How on earth can I take such a risk?
Cynic – Let me get this straight, you want me to list the requirements of the presentation, write up the slides, practise the slides, maybe do a dry-run in front of a small group and only once you and your peers give it the thumbs up will you let me talk at the AGM just because you're paranoid I'll ruin the company's reputation?
Cynic – I didn't realise you were such an expert on managing risk through a structured systems development lifecycle… why do you suddenly feign ignorance when I tell you want your latest website to go live without any security requirements considered or a penetration test?
Boss – Ummm lets take this subject offline.
Cynic – Offline? We're the only two people on the phone!

Ban big money bill
Banning Big Money Donations
Written by Clive Langton on September 21, 2017
l personally feel the allowable limit for donations, should be much lower. That way, each citizen of BC will be able to feel that they can contribute and afford to support their candidate and their party. Many people cannot afford to contribute the proposed $1,200 annual limit, so the few that can afford to, will have more influence than the majority, who cannot afford such an amount. l think it should be a limit of around $500. That way the parties will be on an equal footing and will have to be more involved with the election process, instead of buying billboards, and radio, print, and tv media advertising. The politicians will have to be more involved with the populace, one on one.
Definitely, eliminate any possible loop-holes for 3rd-party funding for PACs. l like the idea of less overall election spending, as it becomes more about the getting to know the candidates and the parties, by their efforts to work the crowds in the ridings and in the Province. lt brings the politicians back onto the level of the citizenry, instead of directing a 'War Games' election strategy from their 'lofty towers'.
The NDP and Greens blew it when they just bought out their election financing reform package. lt seemed that right away they said we will ban c, u and in-kind donations, but now we will make you, the taxpayers shoulder the funding of the contesting parties for their election campaign. Why do politicians, in power, have such a 'perception deficit'? Don't they see that such a narrative is just going to blow up in their faces, and people will have forgotten that they were changing the election financing limit (which many of those that are now disgruntled, were wanting the NDP & greens to implement).
Besides editing for grammar and spelling, l wish that the two political parties that are now leading the charge for change would also look at what they are trying to convey in the 'Message' and how it might be perceived.
'Two examples would be: the 'Ban on the Grizzly Bear Hunt' (except for eating the bear meat). Why couldn't the NDP have the balls to just ban the Grizzly Bear hunt. Now they have created a contentious loop-hole, so their ban is totally unenforceable and toothless.
The other, is when the NDP fired Gordon Wilson from his Liberal hired position. Any mature, diplomatic and wise politician and party, would have said, "Thank you for your services, but we will not be continuing your contract / employment, so let us work out a severance package", instead of slandering Wilson, and saying that he had done nothing worthwhile, which lead to a defamation suit, that will cost BC Taxpayers, all because of an arrogant Politician's ego rant.
We have to remember that not everybody voted for your two parties...Around 40% for the NDP and about 20% for the Greens, so be respectful and attentive to all BC citizens. You will get the traction and support to enact a lot more of your agenda, if you are listening and pacing yourselves so that you have the voters understanding and accepting your bills and legislation.
Let's bring about Real Change for the people of BC and the wonderful Province that we live in. Clive Langton
Official response from Kelsey Reid submitted
Hello Clive,
We agree $100 per individual a year is a more accessible limit, however, during negotiation with the NDP government, $1200 per individual a year was the compromise made between the two parties. Here is more on the consultation process from an article in the Globe and Mail: https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/horgans-fundraising-policy-reversal-tied-to-greens-insiders-say/article36338684/?ref=http://www.theglobeandmail.com&
As for the relationship between the NDP and Green Caucus, I want to reassure you that the BC Greens remain a distinctly separate political party and have only agreed to support the BC NDP on confidence and supply votes (about 2 votes per year). We will vote independently from the BC NDP on every single other issue, using the available evidence and our own principles and platform to guide our decisions.
Both the BC NDP and the BC Greens agree that the legislature works best when all MLAs work together to pursue the betterment of British Columbia. In a minority government, any MLA can bring forward good policy for consideration and have it passed by the Legislature. We will work with the BC Liberals to advance good public policy, and hold the BC NDP to account.
I hope this alleviates some of your concerns.
How would you tag this suggestion?

Sherry Keith-King commented 2017-09-21 19:28:09 -0700
What's this about taxpayers paying? That wasn't in the 5 points above… Clearly I have not been following. I guess I have to read the whole bill. Where? I really don't think that on the spectrum of $500 to $1200 there's going to be a big difference in influence. Even $10 to $1200. It all comes in bits, anyhow. As for tags, none of the above apply.

1) Steve - That's probably all I need to say, and most who frequent my blog know how great he is. But, really he is the best husband a girl could ask for. All you other ladies out there really missed out. He is my best friend. We have so much fun together, and he loves me unconditionally.
2) My Heavenly Father - I'm thankful that I am a daughter of God, and that he loves me. And isn't it cool that we get to talk to him anytime we want? Pretty great.
3) The gospel - I honestly don't know how people live without it. There is so much comfort and knowledge that comes with learning the gospel. It has truly molded me into the person I am.
4) My Mom - Need I say more? She's amazing. I hope that one day I can be as great as she is. I am so lucky that I got THE best Mom for 22 years. She is the greatest example to me everyday. Most days I find myself thinking "what would my Mom say or do?" She taught us all so well!
5) My sisters - They give me so much strength and love. I don't know where I would be without them. They are some of the few people (besides Steve probably) that really get me. I love that we can laugh so hard together that we cry, and talk so openly with each other.
6) My brothers - It is so nice to know that I have great brothers who have made some pretty great decisions. They're awesome.
7) Nieces & Nephews - They are the cutest kids around. When I think about any one of my nieces or nephews I smile. They bring so much joy and happiness to our family, and I'm lucky I have them to teach me how to deal with kids. Being the youngest in the family you don't know how to change a diaper or do anything pertaining to kids...good thing I have them. My children will thank them I'm sure.
8) School - I never thought I would be thankful for school, but now I am. I feel so lucky that I was able to accomplish all that I did in school. Not just the academic lessons, but lifes lessons that come with going to school.
9) Work - Although I don't absolutely love my job right now, I'm grateful that I have one. There are so many people out there who don't.
10) Our house - It is one lucky girl who gets married to a man who wants nothing more than to buy a house. Even though it isn't a huge place, I love it! It is so nice to have a place to call "ours".
11) Food - I love food. I love to eat food. Chocolate, marshmallows, my Mom's famous roast beef, mashed potatoes, M&M's, Zingers...you name it and I'm pretty sure I'll like it. Maybe that's why I love Thanksgiving so much!
12) Friends - I have some wonderful friends who make really great decisions. Even though we had some wild times in high school, we all turned out pretty okay. I am lucky to have those friends to this day who love me.
13) The rain - I love the rain. I know some may think I'm crazy, but I love it!
14) Blankets - I also love blankets. Any store I walk into I check out their blankets to see if they are comfy. Needless to say, we have about 20 at our house. Technically I don't need about 18 of those, but oh well.
16) Books - I'm really pretty into reading lately. I like to escape my life sometimes, or learn something new.
17) Music - Obsessed. Most memories in my life include a song to go along with it. Perhaps a lifetime soundtrack is in the mix (Pedro's brilliant idea).
18) Cars - We started our marriage out with one car, and decided to buy our second after a year and a half. Now I really appreciate the convenience of having a car.
19) Primary - Serving in the primary for two years, and then going back to Relief Society, really showed me how much I loved it. And it's true, everything I needed to know about the gospel pretty much came from primary.
20) Relief Society - Yes it's quirky, and some of things that go on are hilarious (i.e. good news minute, sharing of recipes, enrichment ideas, sign-up sheets for everything under the sun), but I love it. Wish me luck on being a new Relief Society teacher. Yikes!
21) Examples - There are so many great examples that I am surrounded with everyday!
22) Thanksgiving - Even though I should really sit and think about all the things I'm grateful for more often, it's nice to have a holiday to remind me. Have a great Thanksgiving!!
Nice post, Cath! It's good to be reminded of all the things we are thankful for. And it was a nice window into your life.
I had no idea you loved Zingers! I love them, too!! Alec buys them for me way too often. Have you tried them chilled from the fridge? That's my favorite.
Love you! I'm grateful for you!! I hope you know that. You are a true blessing in my life. Thanks for inspiring, I need to make a list too! And Yay for the Zinger contraban.
Great post - I agree with you about Thanksgiving; it's all about being grateful for the things we have been given. Hope you guys had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Steve and I met on a blind date in January of 2004. We dated for 1 1/2 years and married in the Salt Lake Temple August 9, 2005. It has been an amazing 5 years! I graduated from BYU in '07 and Steve graduated from the U of U in '08. We welcomed twins May 18, 2009 and are loving being parents. Steve works for Intermountain while I stay at home with Andrew and Caroline.
