Cherry Hills Village police officer returns to work after being shot in the line of duty
Posted 12:31 pm, January 6, 2020, by Matt Mauro and Deborah Takahara, Updated at 12:47PM, January 6, 2020
CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE, Colo. - It's been almost 18 months since a Cherry Hills Village police officer was shot in the line of duty, while responding to a home invasion.
Officer Cory Sack was shot twice and made a promise that he would get back to work and patrol on his own. That became a reality on Sunday.
Officer Sack responded to a 911 hang-up call late at night on Aug. 20, 2018. He found a home in Cherry Hills Village with the door open.
When he went inside to investigate, he got into a shootout with the robbers. Officer Sack said, "It`s definitely something that we train for, something that we hope never happens and then it does happen."
The gunshots that hit Officer Sack shattered his femur and heel. He spent about a month in the hospital and has had six surgeries and hundreds of hours of physical therapy.
He said he couldn't have done it without the support from this community and his family. "The biggest supporter has been my wife. She`s done a lot more than she needed to and a lot more than she`s used to, ultimately got us here today."
There was really never any doubt Officer Sack would get back to serving the community. It's a job that he knows all too well is inherently dangerous.
He said, "It just worries me that I might not make it home to my kids. I want to be the father. I`m just a police officer. I come to work every day and I love going home to my family."

There are many things that make Zephyr a great product and one of them is that Zephyr is user friendly – if you are not sure about this statement you should try following the 4 step guide below for easy automation of service requests! But first some basic concepts.
The very foundation of requests in Zephyr is built around Forms. A form is a collection of information and elements, that you fill in and request. The data from the form, directly from the user, or added automatically through other integrations, creates a Request which is essentially a workflow with different states which is run in the Zephyr backend. The states can perform different actions and through them collect more data, integrate the data in external APIs or systems, send mail or perform request approvals.
Everything a user does in Zephyr is considered a Request, and they all are tracked and retained in the tenant's database.
With this toolbox, you can create a catalog of appealing self-service interfaces for an organization's users every service need. You can highlight them on the front page, you can group them with tags, and they can search for them.
Zephyr doesn't stop on the consumer side of your service catalog. We're growing the catalogue of out-of-the box services to configure for your environment, and you can create your own automation of every Request through custom code in our backend or on premise.
For this section, which requires Admin access in your Zephyr tenant, and that you are your own approver (or have approvals turned off for the relevant requests types), we're going to look at creating a service from user form to the actual automation in just four steps. Can it be that easy?
Let's start with how you create a form, then proceed to make it smarter, write some custom automation code that uses form data, and finally stitch it all together and run it.
First, start administering your tenant by opening the administrator menu from the cogwheel button in the top bar menu. This menu is where all configuration options for a Zephyr tenant can be accessed.
To set up a Form, click on Forms, and the page that loads is the overview page for all Forms. You might not have anything there in the list, but there is a Create button – Click it! In the right hand panel that appears you have the choice of cloning an existing form, or create a New.
The first part is called Settings, and it's where you set name, description, tags, image and so on for the service you are creating a form for. There are other more technical bits further down that we will return to later. Go ahead and give your service a Name. You'll notice that most options open a side bar on the right that allow further options, for instance adding names in different languages.
I've added two steps, the first with a textbox for IP address, and a dropdown list of countries with name value pairs like "Sweden – Sweden" and "Norway – Norway" (you will probably want to add the one for your country, keep the value in that option in English for now), and the other with a text area for adding a message.
That's it for your first form! Go ahead and submit it in the Summary step. You can click the link to the Form creation Request to follow the process in real time, but it should only take a couple of seconds. Then you can see the form in its full glory, for example by searching for it by clicking the magnifying glass icon in the top bar menu, and entering a part of the name. Try it out and see what you get!
Now this form doesn't do that much, and let's make our form a bit smarter and make life easier for our users – it's tedious having to enter your IP address, when the computer knows it already, right?
So go back to editing your form, and go to the Generators step, it looks a bit like the elements step, but now you're adding generators. What are those? A generator is a function that operates on form elements. It can among other things set the value, use the value or set visibility of elements. And it does so either through a implementation in the form, or through Hooks in the Zephyr backend (more about those later). A generator has input and output elements, and as soon as any of the inputs change the generator runs and sets the generated value (or visibility) to its output elements.
In the Settings modal in the edit side bar, add the following URL: https://api.ipify.org/?format=raw and the Method GET, and set the IP Address question as Output. This is just a publicly available API as an example, but feel free to use your own, as long as it's SSL encrypted (starts with https).
In the preview you should now get your IP populated – now that's smart right? Submit the changes to your form and enjoy!
Now it's time to start automating this service! As you've seen you get quite a few mails when you create and change forms and so on, and emails are the most basic form of automation in Zephyr. This means that with a simple click you can have Zephyr send the results of a form to any email address. This is available in the Forms editor settings part. But for now let's look at what kind of automation you can create in Zephyr by other means, we call them Hooks.
Like with Forms, just go to Hooks in the administrator menu, and click Create.
You can give Hooks a Name and other properties, but for now let's limit ourselves to setting it as a System Hook, and adding Inputs. For this example, they should match the ID of the elements we want to use from the forms.
In the next section, the Scripts, you can start writing your own code. As a courtesy I'll provide an example below, but you can use Roslyn C#, PowerShell (with a limited function set), or run the scripts on your own server using an Azure Relay.
Now what are these cryptic bits? Well if you're not familiar with PowerShell, just look at the blue part and understand that it makes a web call to the address starting with https:// (which you would get from your Azure Automation setup). Inside the body of that call are the Hook Inputs. The other parts after it are basically formatting for getting something nicer looking back for showing in the Zephyr logs. The main takeaway here is that basically any API is consumable with a method like this.
Go ahead and Test run if you've done the Azure bits (or use another API), and submit when you're happy with the results.
Now let's put all this together. First you can go to your Form and set the Hook you just created to be run on request completion, you do this in the lower part of the Settings section.
This is an epic message!
Now, we could probably stop there, but we haven't looked at State flows yet, and we should. As it is now, all users that want to send the message will have their request going through an approval (which is default), so let's take this away for this form.
Go to State flows from the administrator menu, and have a go at cloning the Request form flow by clicking Create, then choosing it as the one to copy in the side bar, and finally Copy.
All states in the flow are in the list in the center, and can be edited by clicking on them and getting a property side bar, as usual. For this exercise what we may want to do is removing the Approval step, so that our users can send the messages freely. So give the stateflow a Name, and click on the Approval step and then at the Remove button at the lower right to remove it. Now to not disrupt the flow, you need to set the Success state of the previous step ("Created") to the new next one ("Performing hook").
Have a look around to see how Actions for Hooks and email sending are run and Conditions are set up, you might get more ideas!
Now, it should be ready to save by clicking Submit in the Summary view. To use it in your form, or any subsequent creations, just pick it in the State flow drop down list in the Form settings.
Keep posted for other walk throughs and info about Zephyr, and as exercise until the next time: Why don't you try and see if you can get the Country Element populated automatically?

Mary Stevens Park restoration gathers pace with removal of 10,000 fish from Heath Pool
Major restoration work in Mary Stevens Park in Stourbridge has been gathering pace with the removal of fish from the pool.
There was a removal of around 10,000 resident fish from Heath Pool last Thursday and Friday.
Lost bikes and scooters, batteries, the front end of a motorcycle, obligatory shopping trolleys and old radios were also found in the pool which is being dredged for the first time since 1974 as part of the £3.1 million park revamp.
Councillor Hilary Bills, Dudley's cabinet member for environmental services, said the wildlife needed to be safely removed from the pool before a major operation to remove the silt gets underway.
She added: "Some of the fish were in poor health because of the historic water quality, something we are improving through this work, but the fish are now being treated at the fishery.
"For safety, the site will be sealed off until work is complete in the spring, but we will be keeping park users up to date with the work with signs up at the pool.
"We have been working closely with a number of environment and wildlife experts to ensure the safety of all the fish and other animals."
Norton resident Lewis Payne, who has been creating a photographic record of the park restoration works, was among those watching the dramatic removal of the fish. He also caught a glimpse of one the park's famous resident terrapins.
Councillor Heather Rogers, chairman of the Friends of Mary Stevens Park, stressed no trauma was caused to the fish which were caught in large nets by experts from Furnace Mill Fishery and Wyre Forrest Aquaculture.
There was quite a few big carp in there they used to get the bread before the ducks

Q: Calculating significance for multiple variations in AB testing in python Sorry if this is a basic question, I have been learning AB testing for couple of days now.
For instance i have a table with visitors and purchases for four different versions of websites and
visitors|Purchases
21      | 3
180     |30
250     |50
100     |15

Is there a way that I can find the pvalue for this scenario in Python to find the significance of these tests?
TIA

Sometimes, when I'm stuck in the house at my desk on very beautiful days, I post random mini session deals on Facebook for that evening in the Muskegon area just so I have a reason to get outside. It was just perfect out and Brennigan and Adam came up from Holland to a session at my favorite place, Hoffmaster! The hoffmaster sessions have been really fun and I hope to do about a million more in my life. It's just the best!
They do anniversary photos every year which I think is just the best idea. I wish that Ryan and I would do that but our ridiculous reasons that we don't are pretty much the same as everyone else who neglects to get pictures taken. It is quite a shame because we certainly know better and know how awesome it is to have these done together. I must fix that soon because I'd love to have photos like this of us.


looks very good. you even managed to get that nls stuff correct!

You are here: Home / Playlists / Machaut's Motets & the Blessed Henry Suso–The Transition from Late Medieval to the Renaissance
Program: #07-17 , Air Date: 04/16/07
Thanks to the work of Anne Walters Robertson, we have an amazing theory--that the motets 1-17 of Machaut form a vast cycle on the aspects of spiritual love as delineated by the popular mystic and Dominican friar, Blessed Henry Suso in his treatise "Wisdom's Watch Upon the Hours"--and with two recent recordings, we can track these astounding works.
Our guide will be long-time Millennium guest and chant expert, Fr. Jerome Weber, early music critic of Fanfare magazine. In each case, the comments in italics are from Fr. Weber.
I. Motets--Guillaume de Machaut
(Hilliard Ensemble). ECM NEW SERIES CD # 1823 (B0001859-02).The complete works of Guillaume de Machaut, (c. 1300-1377) compiled by the composer himself and preserved in several sumptuous manuscripts, have still not been recorded in their entirety. The Messe de Notre Dame is the work best represented on disc and has been the subject of several recent books. Of all the shorter fixed forms, only the 3 motets have now been recorded. The most thorough discussion of the motets can be found in Anne Walters Robertson's recent book, Guillaume de Machaut and Reims (Cambridge, 2002). In the substantial middle section of this book, Prof. Robertson shows that motets 1-17 form a cycle on the spiritual aspect of love based on a popular mystical treatise of a contemporary Dominican friar, Blessed Henry Suso, titled "Wisdom's Watch upon the Hours." The Latin-texted motet 9 occupies the central point in this cycle, eight French motets leading up to it, eight more French motets returning. The other six motets are unrelated.
--De souspirant cuer ("With sighing, suffering heart").
--Fine Amour, qui me vint navrer ("True love, who came to pierce me").
--Puis que la douce rousee ("Because pity does not wish").
--Qui plus aimme ("He who loves most").
--Lasse! je sui en aventure ("Alas! I am in danger!").
--Ha! Fortune ("Ah! Fortune, I am far from port").
--O livoris feritas ("O savageness of envy").
--Helas! ou sera pris confors ("Alas, where shall comfort be?").
--Fine cuers dous ("Sweet noble heart").
--Eins que ma dame d'onneur ("Before my honored lady").
--Faus Samblant m'a deceu ("False Seeming has deceived me").
--Se j'aim mon loyal ami ("If I love my faithful friend").
--Bone pastor ("Good shepherd").
--Diligenter inquiramus ("Let us diligently seek out").
--Biaute paree de valour ("Beauty adorned with worth").
--Veni creator spiritus ("Come, Creator Spirit").
--Plange, regni respublica ("Weep, commonwealth of the kingdom").
--Inviolata genitrix ("Inviolate Mother, beloved conqueress of pride").
II. Guillaume de Machaut--Les motets
( Ensemble Musica Nova). Zig-Zag Territoires CD # ZZT 021002. The Hilliard Ensemble sang 18 of the 23 motets, unaccompanied. On another program Ensemble Musica Nova sing all 23 motets, but three are not sung as written and others are accompanied by instruments. Yet we can hear four other motets from their collection. (It may be noted that the one missing motet, no. 14, has only one recording by Cantos, a large vocal ensemble of Osnabrück Cathedral, a far cry from these vocal ensembles with one voice to a part. But it is interesting because the choir begins with the chant antiphon Anima mea, and as it reaches the last phrase, "quia amore langueo," which is the tenor of the motet, the choir sings Machaut's motet.) All works are by Machaut:
--Amara valde ("Love and perfect beauty make me fear").
--Et gaudebit cor vestrum ("Thy heart shall rejoice").
--Libera me ("Set me free").
--Super omnes speciosa (Fair above all").
Guillaume de Machaut, (c. 1300-1377), Johannes Ciconia, Solage (fl. 1380s), Guillaume Dufay (1397-1474), Antoine Busnois (c. 1430-1492), NICOLAES CRAEN (d. 1507), ADRIAN WILLAERT (c.1490-1562), JACQUES or NICHOLAS CHAMPION, NOEL BAULDEWEYN,

Il tessitore dei bufali beccorosso (Bubalornis niger ) è un uccello passeriforme della famiglia dei Ploceidi, endemico dell'Africa centro-meridionale.

Descrizione
Il tessitore beccorosso si presenta come un piccolo uccellino dal corpo nero che in alcuni casi può presentare chiazze bianche. La sua caratteristica saliente è data dal colore rosso del becco, che lo distingue dal congenere Bubalornis albirostris, di eguali dimensioni ma con il becco bianco.

Biologia
Il suo areale si estende in Africa, dove fino ad oggi è stata accertata la sua presenza nella parte orientale del continente, in particolare in Etiopia fino al confine col Sudan del Sud, Kenya, Somalia, Tanzania, Malawi, e, nella parte meridionale, in Zimbabwe, Namibia, Angola, Botswana, Mozambico e Sudafrica.

Maryland Hospital's Innovative Approach to Community Health
Garrett Regional Medical Center looks within its service area to hire patients as community health workers
Matt O'Connor
Nurse navigators are common at many hospitals, but Garrett Regional Medical Center is taking a fresh approach by hiring patients, instead, to guide their peers through the hospital journey.
In January, the 55-bed rural hospital in western Maryland will begin training five people to become chronic disease management peer navigators, because who is more qualified to lead patients through care than former patients?
"What better way to enter into the health care system than to have lived through it," says Mark Boucot, president and CEO, Garrett Regional Medical Center. "That example is going to be so much more powerful to the community and the patients we serve."
The proposal, which was approved by Maryland regulators, is part of Garrett Regional's Population Health Workforce Support for Disadvantaged Areas Program, an arm of its larger Well Patient Program. Garrett will accept people with longstanding chronic disease conditions, who commonly have other social needs, such as economic uncertainty, into the Well Patient Program.
They will be required to complete an 80-hour community health worker educational program where they'll learn how to navigate the system and use resources to help patients with chronic pain. The curriculum is being developed in partnership with local Garrett College in McHenry, Md.
The approach is taken from evidence-based substance abuse programs that have proven successful by using former substance abusers to council those struggling with addiction.
"The idea is that, from the beginning, we're trying to create a mindset in patients that they are on a journey toward wellness, and they can and will be able to manage their chronic conditions better to keep themselves out of the hospital," says Boucot.
Those who graduate from the Well Patient Program will then be placed in the patient care management department at Garrett, gaining experience in care coordination, navigational skills and knowledge on how to collaborate with the primary care system. There, they will guide new patients who enter the Well Patient Program.
Kendra Thayer, Garrett's vice president of patient care services and chief nursing officer, says they're expecting to train more workers in the upcoming years. She envisions some trying to advance their education to become social workers and nursing assistants.
Garrett may have the state's lowest readmission rate, says Boucot, but it is always working to improve.
"I think it's our role to take responsibility for the total cost of care. It's important for us to take responsibility for the community's health and be more proactive in managing patients' health," he says.

Is it safe to install a larger sized circuit breaker?
Question: can I replace 3-15 amp breakers with 3-20 amp breakers without any serious adverse effects?
NEVER replace a circuit breaker with a larger size. This creates the potential to overheat the circuit wiring and which could cause a house fire!
The solution is to have new circuits installed for specific areas or devices which would eliminate the possibility of overloaded circuits.

Supernatural: Season 1 – Episode 1 Pilot Review
Supernatural Television
Supernatural: Season 1 – Episode 1 Pilot Review0
When episode 1 of Supernatural first launched no one could ever predict this first episode would grow into the franchise it is today. The series has continued to grow to this day, and this author at Zone 6 has decided to take a look at each and every episode "sense" then!
This pilot episode does a good job of intriguing the viewer right from the start. A man and his wife, living the American dream in a beautiful home. He hears something weird and goes to check on his wife. Only to find her stuck to the ceiling right before she bursts into flames.
Now you cut to the scene where Sam, a smart and upcoming young man, is at a Halloween Party. Not to soon after his brother, Dean, breaks into his house once Sam leaves the party. This is the first look anyone gets of the Winchester brothers. Dean hints at their father went on a "hunt" and has not called back home yet. Despite not seeing each other for years, Dean asks for Sam's help.
The woman in white on the bridge in this episode is both classic and cliché. While the woman's story is sad, it's easy to see the writers needed a fast away to introduce the brothers into the job they do. One of the best parts of this episode was actually seeing the interaction between Dean and Sam. The brothers are awkward around each other, but that's to be expected for guys who have not seen each other for years. Sam teasing Dean for his choice in music, and Dean arguing since it was his car only classic rock is on the menu for the radio.
Dean gets arrested after he and Sam investigate the bridge. The local police suspect Dean is responsible for the kidnappings. When the police leave Dean grabs his Dad's journal and breaks out of the police station. He has nothing more than his father's journal to guide him as he goes to find Sam.
Towards the end of the episode Sam and Dean end up solving their case less than gratefully. Sam crashes the car into the home of the white woman who drowned her children. Thus forcing her to accept her loss and pass on as a spirit. This is where you also get to learn about Dean's love for his Impala. Once Sam returns home what happened to his mother has happened to his girlfriend as well. She is on the ceiling, blood dripping down onto Sam, and she bursts into flames only a few seconds later.
Episode 1 does a good job of getting the viewer to wonder what happens next. It gets its message across that Sam and Dean are "Hunters." Hunters are people who have been exposed to the supernatural, and solve cases. However, the first episode of the series can quickly become boring for anyone not interested in ghosts, demons, and other things that go bump in the night. Sam and Dean's constant bickering is tiresome and stiff. In all fairness, the actors were young back then and just starting out. They are not as close then as they are today and have grown into their roles quite well.
In the author's opinion, while this first episode is interesting the first time, when watching it a second time it's easy to forget. The story starts out with a bit of a cliché start and some classic bad boy tropes going on when it comes to Dean. However, for an episode that has been able to catch thousands of fans it has of the series it does win itself a little justice. It's interesting if you've never seen it before, but after re-watching it the first episode can usually be skipped to watch the more interesting episodes.

'Right' Amount of Carbs May Help You Live Longer
By Robert Preidt
FRIDAY, Aug. 17, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- You've probably heard about the high-carb diet and the low-carb diet, but a new study suggests a moderate-carb diet could be the key to longevity.
Researchers followed more than 15,000 people in the United States for a median of 25 years and found that low-carb diets (fewer than 40 percent of calories from carbohydrates) and high-carb diets (more than 70 percent of calories) were associated with an increased risk of premature death.
Moderate consumption of carbohydrates (50 to 55 percent of calories) was associated with the lowest risk of early death.
"This work provides the most comprehensive study of carbohydrate intake that has been done to date, and helps us better understand the relationship between the specific components of diet and long-term health," said senior study author Dr. Scott Solomon, of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston.
The researchers estimated that from age 50, people eating a moderate-carb diet would live another 33 years, four years longer than those with very low carb consumption, and one year longer than those with high carb consumption.
The investigators also found that all low-carb diets may not be equal. Eating more animal-based proteins and fats from foods like beef, lamb, pork, chicken and cheese instead of carbohydrates was associated with a greater risk of early death, while eating more plant-based proteins and fats from foods such as vegetables, legumes, and nuts lowered the risk.
The study authors noted, however, that the participants' eating habits were self-reported and only assessed at the start of the study and six years later. Their eating habits could have changed over 25 years, which might affect the link between carbohydrate intake and longevity, the scientists explained.
The researchers also analyzed data from more than 432,000 people in more than 20 countries and found that those with high and low carbohydrate intake had shorter life expectancy than those with moderate carbohydrate intake.
The results of the study were published Aug. 16 in The Lancet Public Health journal.
Because this was an observational study, it could not prove cause and effect.
"While a randomized trial has not been performed to compare the longer-term effects of different types of low-carbohydrate diets, these data suggest that shifting towards a more plant-based consumption" is likely to help prevent major deadly diseases, Solomon said in a news release from the journal.
According to study leader Dr. Sara Seidelmann, a cardiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital, "Low-carb diets that replace carbohydrates with protein or fat are gaining widespread popularity as a health and weight-loss strategy."
However, she said, "our data suggests that animal-based low-carbohydrate diets, which are prevalent in North America and Europe, might be associated with shorter overall life span and should be discouraged."
Seidelmann suggested that, "instead, if one chooses to follow a low-carbohydrate diet, then exchanging carbohydrates for more plant-based fats and proteins might actually promote healthy aging in the long term."
Two experts who wrote an editorial accompanying the study added a note of caution.
"Such differences in risk associated with extreme differences in intake of a nutrient are plausible, but observational studies cannot completely exclude residual confounders when the apparent differences are so modest," according to Andrew Mente and Salim Yusuf, of McMaster University in Ontario, Canada.

Xenoblade Chronicles' Switch remaster fixes the 'one regret' of the game's developers
Xenoblade Chronicles was always an ambitious game. The sci-fi RPG, which debuted on the Wii in Japan in 2010, takes place in a massive open world set on the backs of gigantic creatures. When the game was ported to the Nintendo 3DS a few years later, its huge size meant that it was only playable on the enhanced version of the handheld.
According to Tetsuya Takahashi, executive director at developer Monolith Soft, the team was able to cram almost everything they wanted into the experience, including a sprawling world, epic storyline, and intricate battle system. But because of the limitations of the hardware, that came with a price: the visuals. "We deliberately passed on using the best-looking graphics so we could pour every last ounce of…

Home Oil And Gas News MMHE to Build Offshore Platform, Pipeline for SapuraOMV's Jerun Field
MMHE to Build Offshore Platform, Pipeline for SapuraOMV's Jerun Field
Malaysia's offshore energy infrastructure construction firm Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering (MMHE) has won a contract from SapuraOMV to build and install a platform and pipelines for the oil company's SK408W Jerun Development Project, offshore Sarawak, Malaysia.
The contract is for the construction of an approximately 15,000-metric tonne (MT) topside, 10,000 MT jacket, and 5,000 MT piles of Central Processing Platform (CPP).
It also includes the design engineering of a 30-inch carbon steel pipeline with a length equivalent to 80 kilometers distance from the Central Processing Platform to the existing E11R-B platform to commingle with the existing trunkline to Petronas Malaysia LNG Plant in Bintulu, Sarawak.
Upon completion, the facilities will be installed in Jerun gas field, which lies in the SK408W Block located offshore Bintulu, Sarawak.
SapuraOMV Upstream is the operator of SK408W Block, with Shell and Petronas Carigali holding 30% equity interest, each.
Encik Pandai Othman, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of MHB, MMHE's parent company, said: "As I have mentioned before, the industry is now getting back on an upturn after the slowdown in 2020 due to the low oil price and COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in CAPEX cutback by oil and gas giants due to the uncertainties in the industry.
"2021 has been coined as our recovery year and what a better way to start it other than with a major EPCIC project like Jerun." "With this being our first project with SapuraOMV, we hope this marks the beginning of a long-lasting business relationship and mutual support between the two companies."
MMHE did not share the financial details of the contract. Below is an infographic with more details on the platform, as shared by MMHE:


In response to citizen comments at the Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan) Workshops held last week, the Planning Commission (PC) has scheduled one more Comp Plan Workshop.
Thursday, June 28th, 6 p.m.
The focus will be on information received from citizens and developing a schedule for reviewing the CP Update. This isn't a public hearing, but comment will be accepted.
Congratulations to you all – you've been heard!
Follow up on your concerns!
Plan to attend – track the process – learn how the PC works.
Key County Players Meet Tomorrow to Review Comprehensive Plan!
The Board of Supervisors, Planning Commission and Economic Development Authority will review preliminary issues identified by staff. Expect the BOS to authorize the Planning Commission to formally begin the 2012 update to the Comprehensive Plan.
WHEN: Wednesday, June 13, 2 p.m.
Updating current demographic and socioeconomic data to evaluate changes that influence growth forecasts.
Reconciling suburban residential land use policies with adopted zoning regulations.
Evaluating policies that guide Economic Development Zones (EDZs).
Assessing the recommendations for Small Area Plans (SAPs) to determine consistency with current development trends.
Evaluating the Major Thoroughfare Plan (MTP). Is it adequate to meet traffic projections based on potential land use changes?
The Ashland Planning Commission will hear proposals for two zoning amendments and one Conditional Use Permit (CUP).
WHEN: Wednesday, June 13, 7 p.m.
This would also allow an additional monument sign and it seems apparent that this first amendment needs to be approved in order for the next amendment to go forward.
An amendment to allow Martin's (Giant) to build a retail fuel center on the property – the current Town Comp Plan indicates this would be an appropriate use.
A CUP request by the Virginia Truck Center to allow a building exceeding 35 feet high on the east side of Washington Hwy just north of Jamestown Road. The current Twon Comp PLan indicates this would be an appropriate use.
Your Planning Commissioners need to hear from you!
Attend public hearings and voice your concerns.

Howard Stern's advice to Donald Trump: "Just give it over to Mike Pence"
March 27, 2018 by WCQJ
Donald Trump was a regular on the Howard Stern show prior to assuming the presidency. Howard admits he is not an "insider" with Trump, but also says that they used to have a friendly relationship and he considered Donald Trump a personal friend.
"I was watching the news. They said that the president calls his friends and asks advice," said Stern.
"He's never once called me and asked for advice. Which kind of got me a little upset." Robin Quivers suggested that President Trump might not expect good advice from him, Howard agreed.
"Yeah, probably not," he said. "My advice would be, like, get the fuck out of there man. Just give it over to Mike Pence. Let him do his thing."
By signing the $1.3 Trillion Omnibus Spending Bill last week President Trump has completely betrayed his hardcore base. Even die-hard MAGA supporters like Alex Jones and Mike Cernovich are convinced impeachment will occur.

Objective. The "environmental justice" movement has suggested that demographic inequities characterize the location of hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs). While some researchers have found evidence that TSDFs are disproportionately located in minority areas, others attribute TSDF location to nonracial factors such as income and industrial employment. Methods. We used both univariate and multivariate techniques to analyze the location of TSDFs in Los Angeles County, California; the focus on one county allowed us to overcome the problem of "false" addresses for TSDF sites and to introduce specific land use/zoning variables that are not used in the other studies. Results. In our univariate results and the multivariate model, we find that (1) industrial land use and manufacturing employment do matter, as suggested by critics of environmental justice; (2) income has first a positive, then a negative effect on TSDF location, a pattern that likely reflects the fact that the poorest communities have little economic activity while wealthier communities have the economic and political power to resist negative environmental externalities; and (3) race and ethnicity are still significantly associated with TSDF location, even when percentage African American and percentage Latino are evaluated as separate groupings. Taken together, the results suggest that communities most affected by TSDFs in the Los Angeles area are working-class communities of color located near industrial areas.


Great shots. I need to look into getting Lightroom.
I finally bought the disc version (not the subscription). It's quite powerful if you know what you're doing, apparently! And only about £100, so nothing like full Photoshop or anything.
That's a lot of snow on the trees, Ali.
Yep. Weirdly not so much on the roads, though (hooray!).
Pretty 🙂 24 hours later it was all gone again.
We usually get a snow like that where I live a couple times a winter… but this is our second straight year that was largely snowless. After all those years of wishing the snow would go somewhere else, I guess it finally did! Congratulations, and enjoy your gift!
Thanks! I don't know that it's better, just different, but it was fun bringing up the green and so on.
A long time since we saw flakes like that.
Yoinks 😦 It's a magical happening here!
It was nice because it was a Sunday. For work the next day, there wasn't too much on the roads and I made it up the hill without issue, fortunately.
Snow is especially lovely on Sundays. Not so lovely on Mondays — so I'm glad for you that the timing worked out well!
You did indeed have a lot of snow. Love what you did with that lightroom – it's all a bit clearer and sharper and slightly unworldly at the same time.
It looks so pretty! Is Lightroom easy to use? I tried a trial of Photoshop but didn't do a thing with it because it was so overwhelming.
Lightroom is more geared towards photo processing rather than manipulating images. The basics are quite easy as when you open it you get quick tools for various supplied filters, white balance, colour manipulation (eg bring up green, less blue etc) and so on. So there's quite a lot you can do right off the cuff, which is as far as I have taken it! The catalogue system is a bit confusing so I just do one photo at a time and then delete it from the "catalogue". I think if you're really into it you can build up a catalogue of your photos and the various things you've done to them.
As an example, I took a bunch of photos a year ago where the white balance was waaaay off (the sun was too bright). It took one little slider in Lightroom to make one of those photos look great and natural.
I bought the one-off copy on CD/DVD from Amazon for about £100, so no subscription charges or anything.

RNS Number : 4660V
Successful Completion of Bond Restructuring
Sound Energy, the Moroccan focused upstream gas company, is delighted to announce that at the meeting of the holders of the Company's Luxembourg listed EUR 28.8m 5.0% senior secured notes due 2021 (the "Notes") held earlier today (the "Noteholder Meeting") to consider the Company's proposal for the restructuring of the Notes (the "Proposal"), the Proposal was duly approved by the requisite authority.
At the Noteholder Meeting, Quorum was reached with voting instructions representing EUR 22.4m of the Notes lodged by holders of the Notes ("Noteholders") with 96.88% of votes cast in favour of the Proposals.
As a result of the Noteholders' approval of the Proposal:
· The maturity date of the Notes will be extended by six years from 21 June 2021 to 21 December 2027;
· The outstanding principal amount of the Notes will be partially amortised, at a rate of 5% every six months, commencing on 21 December 2023;
· EUR 3,479,999 of the Notes will be converted, pro rata across Noteholders, into a total of 141,176,448 new ordinary shares in the Company (the "New Ordinary Shares"), issued at a conversion price of 2.125 pence per new ordinary share. 50% of the New Ordinary Shares to be subject to three month lock-in and 50% subject to a six month lock-in both with effect from date of admission;
· The Notes shall bear until maturity 2% cash interest paid per annum (the "Cash Interest") and 3% deferred interest per annum to be paid at redemption (the "Deferred Interest") for the period commencing on 21 June 2021 (in place of 5% cash interest per annum);
· In addition to the Company's existing redemption rights, the Company will have the right, at any time until 21 December 2024, to redeem the Notes in full for 70% of the principal value then outstanding together with any Cash Interest accrued and 100% of the Deferred Interest then accrued at the date of redemption; and
· The Company will issue to the Noteholders 99,999,936 warrants to subscribe for new ordinary shares in the Company at an exercise price of 2.75 pence per ordinary share (the "Warrants"). The Warrants will be exercisable from the date of issuance until 21 December 2027. The Warrants will be listed and admitted for trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
Details of the Proposal were set out in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum issued on 30 March 2021, which remains available on the Company's website at www.soundenergyplc.com.
With the Proposal approved by Noteholders, the Company will issue the 141,176,448 New Ordinary Shares in the Company (representing c.10.64% of the Company's current issued ordinary share capital) to Noteholders on a pro rata basis, as detailed above.
Application has been made for the 141,176,448 New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that Admission will occur at 8.00 a.m. on 20 April 2021. Following Admission, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will comprise 1,467,420,837 Ordinary Shares, none of which are held in treasury.
Therefore, following Admission of the New Ordinary Shares, the total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights in the Company will be 1,467,420,837 which may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
The Company is progressing the Final Investment Decision contract and approval processes for its Micro LNG phase 1 development with all relevant stakeholders. This will lead to a 'notice to proceed' and construction to start in due course. The Company confirms that, after restructuring of the Notes, it has sufficient cash resources through to August 2021 to undertake these activities.
Graham Lyon, Sound Energy's Executive Chairman, commented:
"I am pleased that Sound Energy has now successfully completed the restructuring of its loan note obligations. This new arrangement removes one of the constraints in progressing the development of the Tendrara TE-5 horst development. I would like to thank the Noteholders for working closely with Sound Energy to develop a solution that benefits all stakeholders. The Company is now well into the contracting and approval processes which will consequently deliver the phase 1 Micro LNG 'notice to proceed'."

Exclusive: New Images Of Robert Pattinson In David Cronenberg's 'Cosmopolis'
Exclusive: New Images Of Robert Pattinson In David Cronenberg's 'Cosmopolis'
Kevin Jagernauth
Aug 6, 2012 2:36 pm
Eric Packer is having a bad day. With the financial markets in turmoil, unease in the streets, a marriage that's crumbling and more, his odyssey across Manhattan to get a haircut will take him on an adventure he never expected. Welcome to David Cronenberg's "Cosmopolis."
Starring Robert Pattinson alongside a strong supporting cast that includes Paul Giamatti, Juliette Binoche, Jay Baruchel, Samantha Morton, Mathieu Amalric and more, the adaptation of Don LeLillo's novel centers on a young whiz kid billionaire whose seemingly innocent journey in a limo takes on surprising dimensions. It's certainly a different kind of role than we've seen from "Twilight" franchise star Pattinson, and it's another interesting stylistic turn for Cronenberg. Premiering at the Cannes Film Festival this spring, our man on the ground loved the picture calling it, "both an exceptional adaptation and a remarkable work unto itself."
With the film hitting theaters next week, we've got two exclusive pics to get you primed, with a gun-wielding Eric Packer and a grafitti covered limo suggesting just how wild his journey is. "Cosmopolis" opens on August 17th and is recommended as one of our 10 Films To See In August.

FAITH, HOPE AND CHARITY
Greek Press
REVIEW OF NATIONAL THEATRE PRODUCTION
Faith, Hope and Charity are cardinal virtues in Christianity, and they are also the title of Alexander Zeldin's new play now showing at the Dorfman stage of the national Theatre in London. Religion does not enter the play at all but there is indeed faith in humanity. Hope in helping the poorest and charity with love and humility.
The play takes place in a soup kitchen where people go for a meal and company. There is also a choir where the ability to sing is optional.
The kitchen is run by Hazel (Cecilia Noble) and Mason (Nick Holder), a middle-aged man who volunteers to help and organize a choir. He is a former prisoner and knows what it means to be down and out.
The people who frequent the kitchen have a lot in common. They are poor, of course, but they also come from broken families, have emotional problems and are basically society's forgotten. Tharwa (Hind Swareldahab) does not speak English and comes regularly with her little girl for some food. That is all we know about her and that is all we need to know.
Susan Lynch as Beth has a troubled teenaged son Marc (Bobby Smallwood) but has an even greater problem she has a small daughter and there is a court hearing about her custody. Beth is about to lose custody of her child. The moving story goes to the end of the play as Beth desperately searches for help and looks for support from Mason and Hazel.
There is Bernard (Alan Williams) whose committed the crime of getting old, being forgetful and poor. We get a few laughs from his conduct but there is nothing funny about his fate. He comes to eat and wants to sing but can't remember any of the lyrics.
If the people who come for a meal have problems so does the institution itself. The developers are trying to evict Hazel and Mason and shut the whole thing down. Developers versus helping the socially left out. Guess who wins?
The key characters are Hazel and Mason. They come from broken homes and they are like the people for whom they cook and jolly along every day. I will pay special tribute to their acting because they manage to capture the spirit of the play. There is no preaching, no charity just plain decency. The level of acting by the entire cast is superb.
Not one of the visitors to the kitchen is judged in this beautifully modulated and marvelously acted play. It is a paean to basic humanity and decency. The faith of the title refers or should refer to Hazel and son's faith in humanity. The hope is what they naturally engender in people who seem to have no hope. Charity? No, just plain decency in a frequently if not fundamentally indecent society.
Zeldin also directs this wonderful night at the theatre.
Faith, Hope and Charity by Alexander Zeldin continues until October 12, 2019 at the Dorfman stage of the National Theatre, South Bank, London, England. www.nationaltheatre.org.uk.

Return to ICT Infrastructure Backup and Recovery — Schools ICT Infrastructure Backup...
ICT Infrastructure Backup and Recovery — Schools
The purpose of this policy is to specify the minimum operational backup requirements for information and communications technology infrastructure in schools. Data archiving and records management are not within the scope of this policy.
To minimise IT security and business continuity risks associated with data loss, there is a requirement to implement operational backup and recovery procedures for information and communications technology infrastructure in schools.
This policy excludes:
data archiving and records management
backup and recovery of data residing on school systems hosted by external service providers
backup and recovery of data residing on school systems hosted centrally by the Department.
For the purposes of backup and recovery, each item of information and communications (ICT) infrastructure located in schools will fall under one of the following categories:
Department-supplied ICT infrastructure where the Department is responsible for backup and recovery
Department-supplied ICT infrastructure where the individual school is responsible for backup and recovery
ICT infrastructure supplied and supported by an external service provider who is responsible for backup and recovery
school-supplied ICT infrastructure where the individual school is responsible for backup and recovery
staff and student devices, where the individual school is responsible for backup and recovery
The ICT Infrastructure Classification document in the Resources tab sets out the different types of ICT infrastructure in schools and list who is responsible for backup and recovery. Where a particular type of ICT infrastructure in a school does not appear in this document, schools are responsible for backup and recovery procedures.
Where the Department is responsible for backup and recovery procedures, the standard operational backup frequency will be daily, with backups to be retained for a period of 31 days. Recovery of data on such infrastructure outside of a declared disaster is to be requested by a school through logging a service request via the Services PortalExternal Link (staff login required).
Schools, supported by Technical Support to Schools (TSSP) personnel, are responsible for defining, implementing and supporting backup and recovery procedures for school ICT infrastructure. These procedures are to be used for the purpose of operational data recovery to minimise IT security and business continuity risks associated with data loss.
Schools are required to classify each item of school ICT infrastructure as falling into one of the 2 following categories:
where no backup procedures are required, as recovery in the event of data loss can be accomplished by re-initiating or rebuilding the item without loss of data
where backup procedures are required, due to the business need to recover data in the event of data loss through whatever cause
Where backup procedures are required for an item of school ICT infrastructure, schools are responsible for:
determining the method used for backup
determining the backup frequency and retention period for each type to meet operational needs for business continuity, both with respect to recovery from declared disasters and recovery from data loss through other causes
successfully testing recovery of data from each different type of backup at a minimum of once per year
implementing automated processes to execute backups according to a schedule that meets the required backup frequency requirement
putting in place procedures to monitor and report on the success or failure of backups
ensuring that data recovery of school ICT infrastructure from backup can be achieved in the event of a declared disaster, up to and including total loss of a school site, for example, through fire
Where backups of school ICT infrastructure are transmitted or stored offsite, they are to be encrypted. Schools are to implement suitable processes to manage certificates used for encrypting backups, and that certificates are available for recovery purposes in the event of declared disasters, including total loss of a school site.
Schools are advised that where technically possible, backup processes should be configured to minimise their use of computing and network resources during normal school hours.
It is recommended to backup data stored on staff and student devices by configuring cloud-based data storage services on these devices. The Department-approved cloud-based data storage services for use by schools are:
Each school should select one of the above cloud-based data storage services for use by staff and students.
The Department, via the assigned school technicians, schools which infrastructure items located at school sites are covered by Department backup and recovery procedures along with assisting the school to put in place backup capability for the school ICT infrastructure.
Further information about school administration server backup of data in the (D:\Users on the fileserver) folder can be found in the Guidance tab.
Storing older information that is not needed for everyday operations (that is, moving these older files to a separate, long-term storage device). The technical requirements and user expectations of data archive are different to data backup.
Copy data to another medium so that in the event the active data is lost, it can be recovered in a recent, if not completely current, version. Backup is primarily intended for disaster recovery. Backup is not intended for archiving data for future reference or maintaining a versioned history of data. Data backups are not intended to serve as archival copies of data or to meet the departmental records keeping or retention requirements.
The process of bringing data stored offline back onto a storage system, such as the school administration server.
The length of time a backup is kept. The backup is deleted at the end of the retention period. Note, retention periods for disaster recovery are different to this policy retention period. The retention period of data backups used for disaster recovery provide for recoverability and a point-in-time snapshot of data as it existed at the time of backup.
School ICT infrastructure
ICT infrastructure that is provided and supported by an individual school, plus that Department-supplied ICT infrastructure where the school has responsibility for backup and recovery.

Kneeling at a small U-shaped table, Christopher de Lis was silent as he clutched an orange Sharpie and carefully wrote "thank you" on the front of a blank card.
Students around him were chatting and working on various projects, but his concentration stayed on the card. The 10-year-old repeated the words over and over, first in red and then in green Sharpie before filling the card with exclamation points and a smiling stick figure on the bottom.
His mother showed up to take him home from YMCA at John R. Peterson Elementary School, but he stayed a little longer to finish his card for troops serving in Afghanistan over the holidays.
"I wanted to thank them really a lot, so I decided to say 'thank you' on the front and 'thank you' on the inside," Christopher said.
For Christopher, the card was important "because they respect our country and they fight every day."
The card will be delivered in time for the holidays along with hundreds of Christmas stockings filled to the brim. Huntington Beach Cub Scout Pack 290 and Peterson's YMCA students came together after school Nov. 18 with a military outreach nonprofit to assemble the stockings.
"We wanted to support our troops and give them a little taste of home," said Cubmaster Trinon Carter.
Lunch tables were covered in heaping piles of goodies. Candy canes formed a small mountain on the middle of one table, surrounded by piles of gum, Starbursts and Mentos; wet wipes, floss and toothbrushes; and another hill of every kind of candy. At the end of the table was a blue card box laid on its side with Cup Noodles overflowing from it.
Cub scouts in their blue uniforms leaned over one side of the table, stuffing handfuls of treats into their red and blue stockings until they bulged with candy and toiletries. The room buzzed as parents milled around calling out instructions to get as much stuff inside the stocking as possible, and students from the Chess Club, which had just ended, circled the tables, eyes alight at the treasure trove of candy.
Dylan Casson, 7, filled his bear stocking and delivered it to the boxes filling up with completed stockings.
The assembly line, which started as a frenzy that was over in a few minutes, was fun, Dylan said.
The stockings will be nice for the soldiers who, Dylan imagined, are lonely and sad fighting overseas. He said he hopes they will cheer up the troops over the holidays.
Dylan's father, Nick Casson, served as a Marine in the Gulf War and, Dylan added proudly, still serves as a fireman. The fact that his father served the country made the event extra-special for the second-grader.
Having served this country, Casson said the stockings will mean tons for the troops stationed in a desert environment under constant treat of assault.
It isn't while they are out serving, but when they get back to the barracks and the adrenaline subsides that the loneliness sets in, he said. That is when getting a stocking filled with wet wipes and playing cards will mean a lot.
"It's a different world when you are there," he said.
Casson, who was with his family at the assembly event, said teaching his son to give back "is the most important thing in our lives."
The Huntington Beach resident said he talks with Dylan about the importance of helping others and the history of this country.
"If everybody just did things for ourselves, what kind of society would we be?" he asked.

A typical hearing evaluation consists of a few simple and painless steps. Mark Rahman, the hearing specialist behind Gulf Gate Hearing Aid Center, will consult with you on your current hearing abilities, your personal and family medical history, and any experiences you may have encountered lately that may affect your hearing (medication, exposure to noise, etc.).
Following this consultation, your ears will be examined with an otoscope, which allows Mr. Rahman to see in your ear canal. After the physical examination, you'll take a series of hearing exams in which you will hear tones and speech at different volumes. The results of your hearing exam will be recorded in an audiogram, which will show the configuration of your current hearing abilities – and will identify whether you are experiencing a hearing loss.

Delhi gangrape victim battles on, undergoes fifth surgery
Edited By Odishatv Bureau Published By Odishatv Bureau On Dec 19, 2012 - 10:04 PM
New Delhi: The 23-year-old paramedical student, who was gangraped and tortured in a moving bus on Sunday night, today underwent fifth surgery and "continues to be critical but stable", doctors attending on her said.
Doctors at the Safdarjung hospital where she is undergoing treatment performed an elective abdominal surgery –gastronomy and duodenustromy — and surgeons had to remove her gangrenous small intestine. They said she has lost most of here intestine.
"This was a planned surgery and at this juncture she is responding to treatment fairly well, she is stable but she continues to be critical," Dr B D Athani, Medical Superintendent of the hospital, said.
The girl, who remains on ventilatory support, was taken to operation theatre at 10 AM and was shifted to ICU at around 1 PM after surgery. Doctors said she had withstood the operation fairly well.
"She is fairly stable at this juncture and we have to wait and watch. We would observe for the stability for next few hours," she said.
"Before going for surgery, she was quite alert and spoke to her mother and brother as at that time there was no tube so she utilised that opportunity but her father didn't go inside," doctors said.
Athani said that yesterday also her level of alertness was good but today since she is recovering from anaesthesia, she is "not communicating nor are we are trying to communicate".
"Her abdomen has been cleaned and it has been closed today. Because most of the intestine, almost all portion, I would say, because of the initial loss and subsequent gangrene is not existent," he said.
Doctors said that Duodenum, which is the first part of the intestine, has been brought out of the stomach and a tube has been put into drain out whatever secretions are there.
She is being fed intravenously. She is getting feeding as well as antibiotics and all her essential drugs through intravenous route.
