Cop rape case highlights life-endangering outrage of �Only Ones� mentality
... "But at what point would physical resistance to officer abuse under color of authority become appropriate, from both a moral and legal standpoint? At what point would a citizen be able to engage in self-defense against an attacker with a badge, up to and including using lethal force to stop a threat?" ...

"Remember the stunt the NJ State Assembly pulled when the leadership realized they didn�t have enough votes to pass their gun control measure? A coalition of gun groups today accused the Assembly of vote-rigging and said ten other gun control measures, some of which have already been approved by the legislature, are invalid due to their improper procedure. Of course a spokesman for the Assembly Democrats said they did nothing wrong. 'Nothing improper happened� There are no specific rules for committee votes (and there was) no problem at all with any procedure� the rule cited by the gun advocates pertains to floor roll call votes and not committee votes.' Pop some popcorn. This should be a fun one to watch . . ." ...
Question of the Day: What�s Your Favorite Gun Control Myth?
"In a prior posting on Federal Firearms Laws, I mentioned that I am in the process of writing a book about firearms for newbies and anyone who wants to learn more about guns. As I said in one of my comments on that article, I really like the book that Nick wrote last year. It was clear, concise, and loaded with a lot of good info. I�m not trying to improve on his work � like that�s even possible � rather, I�m covering a lot more ground to really give newcomers and experienced hands a one-stop reference to the whole firearms culture . . ." ...
Debunking Salon.com�s Misunderstanding of Universal Background Checks
"'It defies logic that in a country like the United States, a firearm can be purchased with no record of the transaction, and no review of whether the purchaser is legally prohibited from possessing a firearm.' That�s how Benjamin Hayes starts his 6 biggest lies about background checks article. And things don�t improve much from there. Hayes�s position is that every firearm transaction should have a record, period. And in furtherance of that goal, he penned an article based on flawed logic and a fundamental misunderstandings of the facts to try and browbeat people into accepting the 'universal background check' proposal that�s currently on the table. Let�s take a second to appreciate exactly how little salon.com actually knows about gun laws in the US . . ." ...
A Left-Leaning Reader�s Guide to Winning the Gun Control �Debate�
"I�m probably one of your most left-leaning readers. The whole 'slave state' stuff is a turn off. Anyway, I�ve been reading for around a year, and decided that once AR parts were reasonably priced again, I�d get my first firearm�a stripped lower, destined for an 18″ SPR. That was back in April. I�ve since realized that the design and use of firearms, particularly the AR pattern, is an incredibly cerebral exercise. It flies in the face of the uneducated and fear-stricken stereotypes. I personally don�t have that problem, as a well-educated former Californian living in Alabama. But I understand that�s not the case for most gun owners. There�s a massive problem in optics in the current debates we aren�t effectively addressing . . ." ...
Halfway Crooks and Halfway Patriots
"We all know there ain�t no such thing as halfway crooks. If you are a thief, you are a thief, plain and simple. If you wish to take from me my life, liberty, or property, you are a crook. Since there is no such thing as a halfway crook, I contend there is no such thing as a halfway patriot. You either believe there is no rightful reason for taking my life, liberty, or property other than in defense of your own, or you don�t. Restricting my liberty or the use of my property to those uses that appease you or your cause is one and the same, and it makes you a crook." ...
Youth unhappy with Obama on Gun Control. Not what they wanted.

"Looks like our young people are on our side after all when it comes to gun control. In the video below it is stated that recent polls show that young people are not in favor of gun control and in fact many consider buying a gun as they start a family of their own. Seems that the Obama campaign appealed to qualities favored by young people but with no specifics given. The young people who voted for Obama were not voting for big government spying on them or gun control, so it seems. ..." ...
The Ms. and the Gun, Redux
... "Someone walking around carrying a gun she admitted she didn�t know how to use was so scary a concept that I still consider it both a false premise and a false flag. The lady in question did so because she is an avowed anti-gunner, and wanted to show the world how dangerous guns are."
"Well, in hands like hers, they are."
"Go to the links ... You�ll see that in each, many people warned her of the danger she was presenting to herself and others."

In Defense of the Original Black Rifle
"One category of firearm has been under relentless attack since even before the latest push for gun control; I�m talking of course about black powder rifles. Oh sure, few want to ban them (yet), but they come up all the time in arguments for gun control. I�ll often hear something along these lines, 'Well when the framers came up with the Second Amendment, they only had black powder muskets, they couldn�t hit anything with those, that�s why they only fired when they saw the whites of their eyes. The framers never could have imagined a gun that could hit anything past five yards, or be reloaded quickly; the second amendment is out of date and needs to be repealed!' . . ." ...

"Like many people that grew up in the city, my first exposure to firearms occurred while I was serving in the US Army (sometime during the Pleistocene Era). After spending a considerable amount of time learning the nomenclature, disassembling, cleaning, reassembling, marching with, cleaning, sleeping with, cleaning, drilling with, cleaning ... the well-worn M-16A1 that I had been issued, I managed to qualify �Expert� on the rifle range.

Timeless Protection Of The Second Amendment

They had just used arms to overthrow a government they believed unjust, and they wanted to insure the future citizens of this great country the opportunity to do the same, should the need ever arise." ...
"Call me crazy if you want, but I personally find cleaning handguns to be almost as much fun as shooting them. I know many people, my wife included, who look at me like I�m crazy when I say that. I have friends who have firearms that go unshot for months at a time because they don�t want to clean them when they get home. To me this is unfathomable. While it is true that I don�t clean my guns after every trip to the range, I do clean them fairly often, especially my carry gun.

Gear Review: SIGTac SB15 Pistol Stabilizing Brace
"The concept of an AR-15 pistol is pretty cool. The practicality of using one, not so much. For one thing, an AR-15 pistol is heavy; a lot of the pistol�s weight lies forward of the pistol grip.Stabilizing the side-to-side motion is a challenge as well. It is, to put it mildly, awkward to shoot. Enter the SIGTac�s SB15 Pistol Stabilization Brace for the AR15, invented and manufactured by Alex Bosco of SB Tactical.

Posted on April 18, 2018 April 18, 2018 . by Patrick Johnstone. 2 Comments.
I wanted to comment a bit on this story. Kinder Morgan is apparently using an industrial lot in the Braid Industrial Area of New Westminster for staging and equipment storage as part of the Trans Mountain Pipeline Extension Project. That has caused some people to send me correspondence around why the City is allowing this, people asking me why I am not opposing the pipeline. I replied to a Facebook Post, but I think this issue is important enough for me to expand a bit on it here on my blog.
The site within New West being used by Kinder Morgan is on Port of Vancouver land, not land where the City has any jurisdiction. Council members were very recently made aware this was happening, but we do not have any regulatory authority around land use on Port lands, as only the Federal Government can issue or withhold those permits. We were not involved in the planning for this, and we have not had any formal correspondence on the issue from the proponent or the Port.
This City and this Council have been involved in the NEB review of the Kinder Morgan pipeline from the onset. The City acted as an intervenor in the NEB review, raised a number of significant concerns during the process, and continues to emphasize these concerns since. Not the least of these concerns is the potential for impacts on the Brunette River and its riparian areas.
We have supported court cases challenging this project and the process towards its approval. The NEB and the Federal Governments (past and present) have demonstrated no interest in our position, nor do I feel they have adequately addressed our concerns. It is actually worse than that, as there were recent hearings in Burnaby to review some of the still-unresolved questions about the routing of the new pipeline along New Westminster's border (and within the Brunette River riparian zone) and the NEB didn't even invite New Westminster to attend. I was refused entry to the hearings when I showed up. They were held behind closed doors, and as the routing was some 30m outside of our City, my being able to even listen to the conversation was not seen as relevant. At least the Harper Government invited us into the room to be ignored.
I cannot speak for all of Council, nor is this the "official position" of the City, but I have been involved in this process for several years now. I bring a significant amount of professional and technical experience to this, having provided expert evidence as an Environmental Scientist to several Environmental Assessments in my career. I am concerned about the pipeline, but I am much, much more angry about the unaccountable and unacceptable process that has taken us to this point. In the last Federal election we were promised that the industry-focused reviews brought in by the Harper Government would be replaced; that didn't happen. We were told that community consultations would be opened up, and that consent from communities would be sought; that didn't happen. We were told that a new era of reconciliation would be ushered in before we impose unsustainable and damaging infrastructure projects to unceded lands; that didn't happen. We were told that subsidies to sunset oil industrial development would end and a new energy vision would be offered; that didn't happen.
We were lied to, and now we are ignored.

There is a lot to grab your attention right now when it comes to local government. Budget deliberations, mobility pricing, the ongoing housing crisis, election 2018; it is hard to pick your battles sometimes.
However, the pending start of construction activity along the proposed Kinder Morgan TransMountain Pipeline Expansion is likely to spend some time in the news this spring and summer. Although directly-impacted local governments such as Coquitlam and Burnaby have taken very different approaches to the project, there have been people in New Westminster raising alarm about the potential impacts on the Brunette River watershed, along our eastern border.
What has not been discussed as much in our local government context, is what this project means to the First Nations along the route and to the indigenous people upon whose traditional lands this project will impose itself. As our own City approaches reconciliation, we need to start thinking more broadly about how we engage the indigenous community when we are evaluating our support or opposition to resource projects – even ones we have little jurisdiction over.
By all reviews, it is a serious, but at times humourous and disarming discussion of pipeline politics, and the sometimes unrecognized push-pull between "environmentalism" and the ongoing fight for indigenous rights. There are even a couple of matinee performances/discussions for those who can't get out at night.
I think it is pretty timely with where New West, the province, and the nation are on this discussion. It's gut check time when it comes to defining what kind of place we want Canada to be. This is a good chance to start listening. Get tickets here.

I have already written a slightly-too-long blog post on the City's burgeoning reconciliation process. If I could summarize the thesis, it is that the community needs to take intentional and careful steps in creating a space for communication. We need to hear each other's stories.
I was both excited and apprehensive to see the Record name reconciliation as their News Item of the Year. It is great that our sole remaining local paper sees this as an important topic, as their participation in nurturing those conversations will be important. The problem being that their story once again focused attention on a statue – a potentially important issue point, but a relatively minor part of a much larger discussion that has to happen.
The story in the Record has, for good or bad, already started discussion in the letters section of the paper, and associated Social Media.
I disagree with some of what I read in those letters. However, I more strongly disagree with people jumping on Social Media to (with the best of intentions) correct things in that letter they deem as inaccurate or (with less clear intentions) accuse the letter writers of ignorance or ill intent.
One thing I have learned in my first forays into learning about the Truth and Reconciliation process is that we need people to tell their stories, to share their thoughts and experiences. This cannot happen if our default is to immediately question a person's ideas or impressions. Conversation is different than debate, and on this topic we need much more of the former, much less of the latter. Even when what we hear is uncomfortable. We need to find a way to talk about how our understanding, our experience, may be different or come from a different place without engaging in debate or placing the letter writer in an "others" group.
I wrote last time about trying to understand how we can create spaces where people who lived the Indigenous experience can talk about their truths. I think this is an important early emphasis, if only because we have to get over the hurdles related to 150+ years of systematic efforts to silence those voices. However, we don't get there by shouting down the voices of the members of our community for whom the entire idea of there being an "Indigenous Experience" is a challenge to their deeply held beliefs.
We all, all of us, have to learn how to listen. It's only the first step, but it's an important one. We can use this process to build a stronger, more just and compassionate community. And that is a way better goal than just having a well-debated statue.

Executive summary: Crime and Punishment
Russian author, born at Moscow on the 30th of October 1821, was the second son of a retired military surgeon of a decayed noble family. He was educated at Moscow and at the military engineering academy at St. Petersburg, which he left in 1843 with the grade of sub-lieutenant. Next year his father died, and he resigned his commission in order to devote himself to literature -- thus commencing a long struggle with ill-health and penury. In addition to the old Russian masters Gogol and Pushkin, Balzac and George Sand supplied him with literary ideals. He knew little of Dickens, but his first story is thoroughly Dickensian in character. The hero is a Russian "Tom Pinch", who entertains a pathetic, humble adoration for a fair young girl, a solitary waif like himself. Characteristically the Russian story ends in "tender gloom." The girl marries a middle-aged man of property; the hero dies of a broken heart, and his funeral is described in lamentable detail. The germ of all Dostoevsky's imaginative work may be discovered here. The story was submitted in manuscript to the Russian critic, Bielinski, and excited his astonishment by its power over the emotions. It appeared in the course of 1846 in the Recueil de Saint-Pétersbourg, under the title of "Poor People." An English version, Poor Folk, with an introduction by George Moore, appeared in 1894. The successful author became a regular contributor of short tales to the Annals of the Country, a monthly periodical conducted by Kraevsky; but he was wretchedly paid, and his work, though revealing extraordinary power and intensity, commonly lacks both finish and proportion. Poverty and physical suffering robbed him of the joy of life and filled him with bitter thoughts and morbid imaginings. During 1847 he became an enthusiastic member of the revolutionary reunions of the political agitator, Petrachevski. Many of the students and younger members did little more than discuss the theories of Charles Fourier and other economists at these gatherings. Exaggerated reports were eventually carried to the police, and on the 23rd of April 1849 Dostoevsky and his brother, with thirty other suspected personages, were arrested. After a short examination by the secret police they were lodged in the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul at St. Petersburg, in which confinement Feodor wrote his story A Little Hero. On the 22nd of December 1849 the accused were all condemned to death and conveyed in vans to a large scaffold in the Simonovsky Place. As the soldiers were preparing to carry out the sentence, the prisoners were informed that their penalty was commuted to exile in Siberia. The novelist's sentence was four years in Siberia and enforced military service in the ranks for life. On Christmas Eve 1849 he commenced the long journey to Omsk, and remained in Siberia, "like a man buried alive, nailed down in his coffin", for four terrible years. His Siberian experiences are graphically narrated in a volume to which he gave the name of Recollections of a Dead-House (1858). It was known in an English translation as Buried Alive in Siberia (1881; another version, 1888). His release only subjected him to fresh indignities as a common soldier at Semipalatinsk; but in 1858, through the intercession of an old school fellow, General Todleben, he was made an under-officer; and in 1859, upon the accession of Alexander II, he was finally recalled from exile. In 1858 he had married a widow, Madame Isaiev, but she died at St. Petersburg in 1867 after a somewhat stormy married life.
After herding for years with the worst criminals, Dostoevsky obtained an exceptional insight into the dark and seamy side of Russian life. He formed new conceptions of human life, of the balance of good and evil in man, and of the Russian character. Psychological studies have seldom, if ever, found a more intense form of expression than that embodied by Dostoevsky in his novel Crime and Punishment. The hero Raskolnikov is a poor student, who is led on to commit a murder partly by self-conceit, partly by the contemplation of the abject misery around him. Unsurpassed in poignancy in the whole of modern literature is the sensation of compassion evoked by the scene between the self-tormented Raskolnikov and the humble street-walker, Sonia, whom he loves, and from whom, having confessed his crime, he derives the idea of expiation. Raskolnikov finally gives himself up to the police and is exiled to Siberia, to where Sonia follows him. The book gave currency to a number of ideas, not in any sense new, but specially characteristic of Dostoevsky: the theory, for instance, that in every life, however fallen and degraded, there are ecstatic moments of self-devotion; the doctrine of purification by suffering, and by suffering alone; and the ideal of a Russian people forming a social state at some future period bound together by no obligation save mutual love and the magic of kindness. In this visionary prospect, as well as in his objection to the use of physical force, Dostoevsky anticipated in a remarkable manner some of the conspicuous tenets of his great successor Tolstoy. The book electrified the reading public in Russia upon its appearance in 1866, and its fame was confirmed when it appeared in Paris in 1867. To his remarkable faculty of awakening reverberations of melancholy and compassion, as shown in his early work, Dostoevsky had added a rare mastery over the emotions of terror and pity. But such mastery was not long to remain unimpaired. Crime and Punishment was written when he was at the zenith of his power. His remaining works exhibit frequently a marvellous tragic and analytic power, but they are unequal, and deficient in measure and in balance. Partly the reason for this is many of his novels were written in extremely frantic circumstances -- about nine months for Crime and Punishment and The Gambler, written concurrently, according to an agreement with a publisher that if he did not finish the works in time, he would sign over the rights to all of his literary works, past and present. His hiring of a stenographer, Anna Snitkin, greatly facilitated this accomplishment; after finishing both novels, he married her. The chief of his later works are: The Injured and the Insulted, The Demons (1867), The Idiot (1869), The Adult (1875), The Brothers Karamazov (1881).
From 1865, when he settled in St. Petersburg, Dostoevsky was absorbed in a succession of journalistic enterprises, in the Slavophil interest, and suffered severe pecuniary losses. He had to leave Russia in order to escape his creditors, and to seek refuge in Germany and Italy. He was further harassed by troubles with his wife, and his work was interrupted by epileptic fits and other physical ailments. It was under such conditions as these that his most enduring works were created. He managed finally to return to Russia early in the 1870s, and was for some time director of The Russian World. From 1876 he published a kind of review, entitled Carnet d'un écrivain, to the pages of which he committed many strange autobiographical facts and reflections. The last eight years of his life were spent in comparative prosperity at St. Petersburg, where he died on the 9th of February 1881.
His life had been irremediably seared by his Siberian experiences. He looked prematurely old; his face bore an expression of accumulated sorrow; in disposition he had become distrustful, taciturn, contemptuous -- his favorite theme the superiority of the Russian peasant over every other class; as an artist, though uncultured, he had ever been subtle and sympathetic, but latterly he was tortured by tragic visions and morbidly preoccupied by exceptional and perverted types. M. de Vogüé, in his admirable Ecrivains russes, has worked out with some success a parallel between the later years of Dostoevsky and those of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Siberia effectually convinced the novelist of the impotence of Nihilism in such a country as Russia; but though he was assailed by ardent Liberals for the reactionary trend of his later writings, Dostoevsky became, towards the end of his life, an extremely popular figure, and his funeral, on the 12th of February 1881, was the occasion of one of the most remarkable demonstrations of public feeling ever witnessed in the Russian capital. The death of the Russian novelist was not mentioned in the London press; it is only since 1885, when Crime and Punishment first appeared in English, that his name has become at all familiar in England, mainly through French translations.

Jarrow Formulas Resveratrol Synergy - With Grape Seed OPCs, Grape Skin Extract And Green Tea Extract! Supports Cardiovascular Function!
Cardiovascular Protection and Capillary Strength!
Resveratrol is an effective antioxidant, several studies have demonstrated this fact. It inhibits lipid peroxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), prevents the cytotoxicity of oxidized LDL, and protects cells against lipid peroxidation. It is thought that because it contains highly hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, it can provide more effective protection than other well-known antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E. On the other hand, it is less effective than the antioxidants quercetin and epicatechin found in red wine.
Reduced platelet aggregation has also been demonstrated in studies on resveratrol, further contributing to its prevention of atherosclerosis. To date, most of the research on resveratrol's antioxidant and anti-platelet properties has been done in vitro (in an artificial environment using test-tube or tissue-culture preparations).
Seems easy enough to take. Hopeful that it is giving me the major benefits it claims internally.
Other Ingredients: Cellulose, calcium phosphate, modified cellulose gum, stearic acid, magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide.
Suggested Use: Take 1 to 2 tablets per day with food or juice, or as directed by your qualified health consultant.

Black Lion were great to work with. They sat down with us and discussed exactly how we could have the most successful project possible and what angle our marketing should take to maximise the number of enrolments we receive. We have had overwhelming feedback about the site and stacks of enquiries for 'information packs' (an idea Black Lion came up with) that are very likely to result in enrolments that we may have missed out on. We have had a great experience working with Black Lion and would recommend them to anyone.
Black Lion Digital could not be a better team to work with. They work quickly, are incredibly professional and their attention to detail is second to none.

NCAA Official Football Ad
When Wilson Sporting Goods competed for and won the contract to become the official football of the NCAA they wanted to market the news. The wanted to make a statement and have visual to reinforce that statement. We created a series of ads for them but in the end they ran with only one. It was a big hit you could say.
The visual challenge of creating an ad using NCAA footage was making sure players were not recognizable. Being recognizable in advertising they would lose their eligibility. Paid or not.
Through an exhaustive search and with the help of Photoshop we found the perfect series of images that really told this news in an impactful way.
The ad ran in all the trade journals and was so popular requests came in asking for larger ads i.e. posters. So posters were made and sent out to all the media outlets. All sales reps had them for their accounts as well. Re-reinforcing that Wilson is the official football of the NCAA.

Q: Admin user not able to manage permission for Team Project in TFS 2015 Problem:
User 'TFSADMIN' is not able to manage permissions (add, remove users) in a Team Project. The user has admin role. After some investigation our understanding is as 'TFSADMIN' is member of a group(Contributors) which does not have 'Manage Permission' Role. Even though the user is TFS Admin, TFS-2015 is honoring permissions set at team project level.
Please advice how to resolve the issue. Currently I am not able to add/remove users from the team project.
TFS Version   : 2015;
Visual Studio : VS 2015 Professional Edition
User 'TFSADMIN' has access on below groups:

*

*Project Collection Administrator

*Project Administrator

*Team Foundation Administrators

*OracleSMG Team

OracleSMG team is member of:

*

*Contributors

*Project Valid Users

We have removed below permission from the 'Contributor' role on the team project 'OracleSMG':

*

*Manage Permissions  -- Deny

A: The problem is that "Deny" will override any other permissions. Deny always wins
you can do 2 things

*

*Remove TFSADMIN from the OracleSMG group. An admin account shouldn't need to be a member of a contributors group as admin is a superset of the permissions given to contributors.

*If for some reason you cannot remove the account from this group then change the permissions. TFS permissions have 3 states. Allow, not set, Deny. As the deny is causing the issue then change the permissions to "not set" this will still prevent members of the contributors group from being able to manage permissions, but will stop overriding the admin users permissions

A: Got the solution.
1. As mentioned in the comment I added a new admin with Team Collection Administrator. But I not able to log in to the security (Web) Portal from TFS server.
2. In our environment, AD users are binded with their hardware assets (Laptops). So his/her AD user may be authenticated only if the user logs in from his/her Laptop.
3. Logged in to the security (Web) portal from the newly added Admin from his Laptop and removed TFSADMIN and AN258 from OracleSMG group. Now I am able to manage the group.
Thanks everyone for your time and attention.

Watching Kelly Oubre make the walk from the team bus to the locker room is a little like being transported from the arena to front row of a fashion show. Roughly three-and-a-half hours before game time, with reporters and cameramen milling about, Oubre enters the scene.
Dressed in head-to-toe black, the red accents on his pants and sweater match the red-rimmed sunglasses he is wearing—despite a mid-April afternoon ice storm beating down on Toronto outside. Phones raise, camera flashes pop and the concrete walls seem to recede into the distance, becoming the backdrop for a 22-year-old's casually confident stroll toward the Wizards' locker room.
Once he enters the locker room, the only tangible evidence of his fashionable entrance hang from the hooks in his locker stall. For the rest of the night, he is wearing #12, serving as reserve swingman for the Washington Wizards. Two days later, prior to Game 2 in Washington's first-round series against the Toronto Raptors, Oubre does the walk once again. Keeping with the same red and black color scheme, this time he opts for a red Washington Capitals hockey jersey.
Despite these fine sartorial choices, the Wizards leave Toronto trailing the Raptors 0-2 in their best-of-seven series. Oubre was limited to just three points and 16 minutes in a Game 1 loss. He scored 16 points off the bench in Game 2, playing 30 minutes. Although there is disappointment in not being able to steal a game on the road, the Wizards are calm heading back to Washington.
Though Oubre's added flair on and off court—"that's the fun part of basketball, you can put your own style on it"—can draw the ire of detractors and opponents alike, his carefree spirit has been important for the Wizards. After grinding out a rollercoaster regular season and entering the postseason as the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference, confidence is crucial in the NBA's second season. Coincidentally, confidence is something Oubre hasn't ever been without.
In three seasons, Oubre has seen his minutes jump from 10.7 per game to 20.3 per game to 27.5 per game. His scoring averages have increased as well, starting at 3.7 points in his rookie season, nearly doubling at 6.3 in his sophomore season, to a career-high 11.8 points per game this year. Making the transition from college to the NBA is always an adjustment. Young players need to go through their first NBA season, they have to get used to the physicality, the size, speed and strength of their opponents, as well as learn tendencies and coverages.
Oubre's increased role and production hasn't happened by accident. He has made changes to his daily routine, the biggest being how he prioritizes sleep. While other 22-year-olds might be fresh off four years of pulling all-nighters in college, Oubre is focused on maximizing his resting hours to help his body recover from the rigors of the NBA.
When the Wizards were without John Wall for half of the season due to injury, backcourt mate Bradley Beal stepped up in his absence to lead the Wizards. It has been Beal who has served as Oubre's mentor, in addition to being one of his closest friends on the team, teaching him the ropes of being an NBA player and showing him how to be a professional.
While others focus on Oubre's showman tendencies, missing the improvements he has made to his game, Beal has been there for it all. He delights in discussing how his teammate has grown since being drafted by the Wizards in 2015.
In a long, sometimes grueling season, teammates who help to keep things light make coming into practices easier during the tough stretches. Beal encourages Oubre to be himself, knowing how it can help the rest of the guys on the team.
Beal isn't the only one preaching the importance of Oubre's energy, particularly of the defensive end of the floor.
Considering Oubre's obvious love for fashion, music and self-expression, it doesn't seem far-fetched to imagine him saying that one of the best parts of being in the NBA, beyond getting to make a living playing basketball, is the lifestyle. In reality, the answer he gives couldn't be farther away from the flashy trappings of celebrity life.
Oubre connects his passion for art—in any form—with growing up in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Excitement just seems to trail Oubre. Holding court with reporters talking about last night's game or huddled off to the side discussing one of his other passions, there is an earnestness that rises above Oubre's confidence that is immediately endearing. It can seem impossible to have things figured out in the whirlwind that is a life in professional sports at age 22. And yet, when Oubre sums up his journey, all of the basketball and non-basketball parts that make him who he is, it just makes sense.

An essential step toward establishing an effective PLC is developing schoolwide norms that unify the practices of individual collaborative teams across a school.
Within a PLC, each collaborative team develops its own set of norms, called group norms.
Group norms are monitored and reflected upon over the course of the year, to help collaborative teams work efficiently and effectively toward their goals.
When creating an assessment blueprint, how many and what types of items are generally appropriate for each level of the proficiency scale?
Why is a guaranteed and viable curriculum important?
Why should standards be translated into learning goals or objectives?
Schoolwide norms generally define and describe the group behaviors in which all members of the PLC will engage. Clear schoolwide norms help ensure consistent, efficient, and purposeful behaviors throughout a PLC's collaborative teams. Two important schoolwide norms that we recommend for every PLC are that (1) teachers and staff are given formal opportunities to provide feedback about the functioning of the school, and (2) collaborative groups regularly meet to address issues related to classroom curriculum, instruction, assessment, and student achievement. Overall, schoolwide norms communicate that the school is a place where all stakeholders work together, rather than in isolation, and use dialogue to advance their capabilities for the benefit of students (pp. 17–18).
In addition to schoolwide norms, each collaborative group in a PLC can create group norms that guide the team and its work. Collaborative teams can generate group norms by considering three questions: (1) What behaviors do we expect to see frequently? (2) What behaviors are unacceptable? and (3) How do we want to handle problems when they arise? Teams can also consider what behaviors are counterproductive to collaboration and then flip these behaviors to determine appropriate positive behaviors. For instance, if a team member suggests that tardiness is a counterproductive behavior, then the team might identify arriving on time as an appropriate behavior and incorporate it into the group's norms. After group norms are determined collaboratively, team members can discuss how the norms will manifest in meetings throughout the year. A clear set of group norms is essential for creating a productive, purpose-filled environment that prioritizes the improvement of school academics and culture as a whole (pp. 23–24).
Once collaborative teams have established group norms, team members can monitor and reflect on the use of and adherence to norms over time. Members of collaborative teams can celebrate adherence to norms and hold each other accountable if norms are not upheld for any length of time. It can also be useful to formally monitor adherence to group norms through the use of a norm-monitoring form. A norm-monitoring form lists group norms as well as related examples and nonexamples and asks team members to rate the group's adherence using a simple scale. As the needs or specific goals of a collaborative team change, members can also use monitoring and reflection to revisit the necessity of particular norms or make adaptations (pp. 24–25).
Assessment of score 2.0 content usually involves numerous short, forced-choice items, such as multiple-choice questions. Typically, five or more questions are needed to assess this level. Items that assess score 3.0 content require students to access multiple pieces of content and often take the form of short written responses. An assessment usually includes two or more items at this level. Score 4.0 assessment items also require that students synthesize numerous aspects of the content as well as make inferences or applications that go beyond what was taught in class. This level is often assessed by an extended essay question (pp. 51–56).
A guaranteed and viable curriculum works to reduce variability in students' education. When the curriculum is viable, all the content can be taught in the instructional time available. Teachers do not have to make idiosyncratic decisions about what content to teach. Therefore, all teachers of a course or grade level deliver the same content to their students, guaranteeing the curriculum and creating consistency for all students (pp. 33–34).
Standards, as typically written, often include numerous subcomponents. One standard might encompass several individual elements that each require a separate proficiency scale. Alternatively, a standard might include some content that would be an appropriate target learning goal and some content that is simpler or foundational to the target. By breaking standards apart and rewriting their components as individual objectives, teachers can make the standards more useful and get a better sense of how much content there really is (pp. 37–39).

Meet Jillian, early career researcher
Meet Jillian Moffatt, early career researcher with CRC ORE and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) student at the University of Adelaide.
Jillian Moffatt, early career researcher, at workJillian's research seeks to discover and exploit Upconversion Fluorescence (UF) emissions from minerals of economic significance as a means for real-time on-line identification of mineral species. UF has not previously been investigated for applications in the earth sciences, mining or mineral processing. The technology to do so has only become available within the last decade.
Jillian will contribute to the commissioning and validation of the first dual wave-wavelength UF facility at The University of Adelaide. Once commissioning is complete she will perform research and analysis on specific minerals of economic interest to produce a database of UF "fingerprints" that can potentially identify these minerals in the field.
Find out more about Jillian and her research on her CRC ORE researcher page.


There are a lot of entertainment & educational programs available for your children. Some lodges even have kids clubs, which can organize daily activities for your kids such game trekking, environmental education programs, treasure hunts and interview sessions with the local tribe's in a traditional village. However, please note that during game drives it must be ensured that children are quiet as even the slightest noise could scare away the animals. It is therefore requested that if you are traveling with very young children you do not share a game drive vehicle with other guests as this may adversely affect their experience and enjoyment. You can rent an exclusive vehicle for your family or arrange to be part of a family tour on a number of our safaris. Also, please note that some game viewing lodges [such as the Ark in Kenya and a number of up market lodges] do not allow children under the age of 7 years due to the noise factor, except on specially designated children's nights. Please consult us first for full details when planning a trip with your children on any of our featured safaris and we would be delighted to help you plan & put together your dream safari with the kids.
An exciting safari covering the scenic towns and reserves of Central Kenya and the Masai Mara Game Reserve.
Petting a tame Black Rhino, Boat ride [weather-permitting] & visit to chimpanzee sanctuary, William Holden orphanage, Human Maze adventure, cultural visit to a Maasai Village, a chance for the kids to stay in an authentic African zip-door tented camp and the ultimate jungle tree house that has Elephant in it's front yard, Golfing activities for parent[s].
Focuses on the wildlife and cultures of Tanzania.
The Seychelles are a sure treat if a family beach holiday is what you seek. Hotels are child-friendly and the beaches are fantastic. Birdlife is prolific and a visit to the Vallee De Mai forest is a must to learn it's fascinating story! Giant tortoises and the famed Seychelles island hospitality make for wonderful memories and relaxing break.
A fantasy fairy-tale world of Africa's jungles, cliff-tumbling gardens, streams, waterfalls, swimming pools and al fresco entertainment areas.
Lots of free-form swimming pools and fun-filled activities for parents and children. This destination, exciting as it is, falls as our number 4 choice because the African forests in the complex are not natural but man-made [like a Disney creation] and therefore it doesn't actually qualify as a "true safari destination", however, with it's vast array of programs and activity line-up's it does promise plenty of fun, adventure and excitement! For game viewing, a visit to the nearby Pilanesburg Game Park can be pre-arranged.


After midnight, it will get a whole lot darker at the Mini Stage! Brace yourself for a rave journey with Sub200 (Martijn van der Sar) as a tour guide. The final destination is yet unknown, but it's somewhere in between the harder styles of techno, drum 'n' bass and (psy)trance.


A Guardian ad Litem Volunteer Child Advocate is appointed by the court to advocate for a child. These children have been removed from their home due to no fault of their own.. The Child Advocate becomes familiar with the child and the child's case and makes recommendations to the court to help ensure a safe, caring, stable and permanent environment. They become a mentor and role model, and the one constant adult in their life throughout this scary process. Won't you please give us a call.
Would you recommend Guardian ad Litem Program?

Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem
Aqsa Mosque
The last of the three great shrines of Islam is the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. The Dome of the Rock is the crowning jewel of the Aqsa Mosque (a.k.a. the Haram al-Sharif, the Noble Sanctuary) in Jerusalem and a masterpiece of world architecture. Like the Taj Mahal in India and the Alhambra in Spain, it is a celebrated example of Muslim art. The Dome of the Rock was built in 680 - 692 A.D./C.E. and thus has the special distinction of being chronologically the first monument of the Muslim civilization. The structure is lavishly faced in brilliantly colored ceramic tiles and is surmounted by a massive golden dome which has just been completely restored.
The Dome of the Rock was built by Abd al-Malik bin Marwan, seven years after he was proclaimed the seventh caliph of the Muslim civilization. His family became known as the Umayyad Dynasty. They were centered in Damascus and ruled the region for 110 years, from Casablanca to Khurasan. Like the Medicis in Florence some seven hundred years later, the Umayyads were great sponsors of art and contemporary craft.
Tradition says that this is the same rock used in the sacrifice of Abraham. And later tradition says that this same rock was the point from which the Prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven on the mystic Mount Buraq. This ascension is called "mi'raj".
The Dome of the Rock is a very unique masterpiece of Muslim art

From $8.33 to $833+, monthly giving is easy.
Invest in the future of our children and our nation by donating just $8.33 per month!
How much is a lifetime of open doors worth? What does it cost to build this country's next generation of leaders? It costs a lot!
Yet, only $8.33 per month from donors like you, will help a Hispanic student complete college and prepare to lead our nation. That's about as much as it costs to buy one movie ticket a month.
It's such a small amount…how can that be? Simple dollars and sense. Think about it. If just 700,000 families within our 52 million strong-and-growing community each give $8.33 per month, we could more than triple what we raised in 2012. That would have been 10k more scholarships. And that's not even counting corporate donations and grants!
Giving should begin with us – inside our own community.
We need to do more! Even though HSF has awarded over $470 million in scholarships to more than 60,000 students since 1975, we are still forced to decline 4 out of every 5 qualified applicants. Our population is growing. Without the help of our own community, we simply can't keep up.
Our future is in your hands. If we can add individual contributions from members of our own community to the generous help we receive from corporations, foundations, and others, we can multiply by orders of magnitude the number of children we are able to put through college, now and going forward. Sign up here!
If you can give more, there's an "833" program designed for you.
If you've been blessed with the ability to give more, can we count on you to donate more?
Giving $83.33 per month (~$1,000 per year) multiplies the opportunities we can provide, ten-fold; $833.33 (~$10,000 per year), a hundred times. Plus, at $833.33 per month, you will become a member of the HSF Dean's List, enabling you to join a proud group of members at many events throughout the year, and more.
Set up your monthly Dean's List or Honor Roll donations here!
Register to make a monthly, recurring donation with HSF today by clicking on the plan that works best for you!
