Climate Has Battlegrounds, Not Borders
January 11, 2014 Larry M. Elkin
If you live anywhere east of the High Plains, it was probably pretty darn chilly when you got up this morning. A great whirl of frigid air, the polar vortex, is parked over the Upper Midwest, bringing one of the coldest air masses Eastern states have seen since the mid-1990s.
In St. Augustine, along Florida's northeast coast, the mercury was forecast to dip to around 26 degrees near sunrise today before recovering to a paltry 40. Fifty miles to the south, Daytona Beach was expected to touch 29 degrees, while Melbourne – 80 miles below Daytona and 130 miles south of St. Augustine – was due to hold just above freezing, at 35.
Melbourne lies near the northern edge of eastern Florida's citrus belt, which was not expected to suffer major damage. There is no commercial citrus growing in the colder environs of St. Augustine – not now, anyway. But this was not always true. A look back at the history of citrus orchards in the Southeast tells an interesting story about how climate really works.
It is a more complicated story than many people assume. Just last week, The New York Times reported on researchers' findings that mangroves – a tropical species that does not tolerate significant freezing weather – are moving northward along Florida's Atlantic coastline, from Melbourne toward St. Augustine. This, said the newspaper (quoting the researchers), is evidence that "the hard winter freezes that once kept mangroves in check had essentially disappeared in that region, allowing the plants to displace marsh grasses that are more tolerant of cold weather." The article also cited the spread of pine-eating beetles in the Rocky Mountains and New Jersey (New Jersey having been the subject of another recent Times article in the same vein) as evidence that extremes of cold that once set down ecological borders are disappearing, or rather are moving steadily poleward.
As a reality check, let's consider the well-documented history of citrus growing in America. Citrus fruits are not native to this hemisphere. Christopher Columbus brought them to the Caribbean in 1493, and Spanish explorers and settlers planted citrus in the St. Augustine area in the mid-1500s. St. Augustine and the St. Johns River basin, a short distance inland, were citrus growing regions for more than 300 years, until the 1890s.
Meanwhile, ambitious planters took citrus farther north, along the coastlines of Georgia and South Carolina. By the end of the Revolutionary War, some varieties were fairly widely grown in that region. Oranges, grapefruits and other citrus were also grown westward along the Gulf Coast, all the way to Louisiana.
But a killing freeze in 1835 wiped out the groves outside of Florida. Three more great freezes – in 1894, 1895 and 1899 – put an end to commercial citrus growing in the St. Augustine area, and did a lot of damage to orchards farther south near the central Florida towns of Sanford and Orlando.
Citrus was replanted in the Orlando region around the start of the 20th century, and the area remained a major orange-producing area (Orlando is the seat of Orange County) until the 1980s. By that time I was a regular visitor to central Florida, so I saw firsthand what happened next.
The 1980s were nearly a rerun of the 1890s, with major freezes in 1983, 1985 and 1989. (I vividly remember the last, during which an ice storm stranded me with my wife and toddler daughter in Jacksonville, Fla. It was the only white Christmas of the 20th century in the region between Jacksonville and Charleston, S.C.)
For years after the great 1989 freeze, we drove to Walt Disney World past hundreds of acres of dead orange trees. The growers never replanted. Instead, the orchards north of Orlando were converted to subdivisions, office complexes and shopping plazas, and the orange trees were relocated to the relative safety of a 100-mile-wide zone just north of south Florida's metropolitan complex.
The rules of natural selection dictate that all species try to expand their range. Sometimes they do it by invasive spread and aggressive growth, sometimes they do it by adapting to sub-optimal conditions, and I suppose to a considerable extent they do both. But eventually a species runs into the limits of its adaptability, and it can't expand any further. Often, in fact, it must retreat.
This much-discussed polar vortex is neither the first nor the worst cold wave to strike the eastern U.S. In Florida, the brief visit of cold air will probably be forgotten as soon as the next planeload of tourists sheds their sweaters at our theme parks and golf courses. Today's cold was pretty hard on any mangroves that had the temerity to grow very far north of Daytona Beach. To the south, however, the mangroves are probably safe until the next strong cold front.
The thing to remember about weather extremes is that they are extremes, meaning they do not occur every year, or even every couple of years. They occur on rare, memorable occasions. In Florida, there were great freezes in 1917, 1934, 1940, 1957, 1962 and 1977, in addition to those of the 1980s. There was another major freeze, though mainly away from the state's East Coast, in 2010. In between these dates were years, sometimes a decade or more, of mild winter weather. These are the sorts of periods that used to encourage growers to plant citrus in borderline locales, only to retreat after the next killing frost.
The Times' articles about mangroves and beetles portray climate and ecosystems as having fixed boundaries, like state borders. It is more accurate to see them as battle zones. Sometimes one side advances, sometimes the other. Over long periods, ground may be permanently gained or lost. But even a span of 15 or 25 years is not proof that something is different. It took more than 300 years, after all, for Old Man Winter to expel the orange groves from the fields near St. Augustine.
About Larry M. Elkin	564 Articles
Affiliation: Palisades Hudson Financial Group
Larry M. Elkin, CPA, CFP®, has provided personal financial and tax counseling to a sophisticated client base since 1986. After six years with Arthur Andersen, where he was a senior manager for personal financial planning and family wealth planning, he founded his own firm in Hastings on Hudson, New York in 1992. That firm grew steadily and became the Palisades Hudson organization, which moved to Scarsdale, New York in 2002. The firm expanded to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 2005, and to Atlanta, Georgia, in 2008.
Larry received his B.A. in journalism from the University of Montana in 1978, and his M.B.A. in accounting from New York University in 1986. Larry was a reporter and editor for The Associated Press from 1978 to 1986. He covered government, business and legal affairs for the wire service, with assignments in Helena, Montana; Albany, New York; Washington, D.C.; and New York City's federal courts in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Larry established the organization's investment advisory business, which now manages more than $800 million, in 1997. As president of Palisades Hudson, Larry maintains individual professional relationships with many of the firm's clients, who reside in more than 25 states from Maine to California as well as in several foreign countries. He is the author of Financial Self-Defense for Unmarried Couples (Currency Doubleday, 1995), which was the first comprehensive financial planning guide for unmarried couples. He also is the editor and publisher of Sentinel, a quarterly newsletter on personal financial planning.
Larry has written many Sentinel articles, including several that anticipated future events. In "The Economic Case Against Tobacco Stocks" (February 1995), he forecast that litigation losses would eventually undermine cigarette manufacturers' financial position. He concluded in "Is This the Beginning Of The End?" (May 1998) that there was a better-than-even chance that estate taxes would be repealed by 2010, three years before Congress enacted legislation to repeal the tax in 2010. In "IRS Takes A Shot At Split-Dollar Life" (June 1996), Larry predicted that the IRS would be able to treat split dollar arrangements as below-market loans, which came to pass with new rules issued by the Service in 2001 and 2002.
More recently, Larry has addressed the causes and consequences of the "Panic of 2008″ in his Sentinel articles. In "Have We Learned Our Lending Lesson At Last" (October 2007) and "Mortgage Lending Lessons Remain Unlearned" (October 2008), Larry questioned whether or not America has learned any lessons from the savings and loan crisis of the 1980s. In addition, he offered some practical changes that should have been made to amend the situation. In "Take Advantage Of The Panic Of 2008" (January 2009), Larry offered ways to capitalize on the wealth of opportunity that the panic presented.
Larry served as president of the Estate Planning Council of New York City, Inc., in 2005-2006. In 2009 the Council presented Larry with its first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award, citing his service to the organization and "his tireless efforts in promoting our industry by word and by personal example as a consummate estate planning professional." He is regularly interviewed by national and regional publications, and has made nearly 100 radio and television appearances.

Alleluia! Christ is Risen.
He is Risen indeed. Alleluia!
It was good to see so many people in church on Sunday morning. When there is so much talk about decline, it is good to have a full church occasionally to challenge the prevailing view.
Many people ask me – "What does the resurrection mean?" We spend so much time focusing on the empty tomb, at one particular moment in time, that we often fail to look around us.
Two thousand years ago the death of an itinerant preacher was hardly news, even the death of a successful one. Yet, this preacher, born into poverty, to an insignificant family, living a thoroughly unremarkable childhood, with the exception of that little hiatus in the temple, who in the last three years of his life gathers around him some fairly insignificant women and men, was eventually executed as a common criminal, an irritant to the religious authorities, utterly insignificant to the power of the Roman Empire, changed the world, turned the world upside down. There are over 2.2 billion Christians in our world today and the number is growing by the day, over 32% of the worlds population have been claimed by Christ.
What does the resurrection mean? It means hope; hope translated into practical encounters, millions of them every day, encounters which can turn lives round, offer hope in seemingly hopeless situations, offer love and companionship, where people feel isolated and unloved. The resurrection makes a difference everyday. Why do we do all that we do at St Nicholas, if it is not to make Christ known and the power of his resurrection known in this part of Chiswick in the early twenty-first Century. The resurrection is an explosion of love which has captured over 2.2 billion people. So when people ask you what does the resurrection mean? Tell them to look around!
After a moving and exhausting Holy Week, and a magnificent and joyful Easter Sunday, a sense of "Well, that's out of the way" or "After the Lord Mayors Show" can creep up on us. This would be a very big mistake. The news of the empty tomb; the glorious news of the Resurrection of our Lord is something to celebrate and shout from the roof-tops! We are an Easter People and Alleluia is our Song! The disciples of course in the days after the Resurrection were shattered; they thought it was all over. The game was up. But of course when they saw they believed. Thomas who was not with them has been condemned all over the world for having doubts. But in reality all he wanted was the proof that the other disciples had seen. I actually rather like Thomas, for he was being honest and authentic and saying it how it was. You will remember that he once said in John's Gospel "Let us return to Judea so we may die with him". These words to me, do not suggest that Thomas was a weak or insignificant man. Quite the opposite. And let's not forget that Thomas was the first out of all the Disciples to recognise the full person of Jesus "My Lord AND My God"
Recognising the person of Christ is not easy. The two disciples certainly struggled as they walked to Emmaus and it wasn't until they broke bread together that their eyes were opened. There is, of course, a little bit of Christ in all of us. In every person who crosses our path; although most of us struggle to see it. The beggar, the tramp, our enemies; Christ is as present in them as he is in us. The challenge for all of us in these post-Easter days is to keep our eyes and ears open and see where Christ is to be found. And if we don't know where to start looking, the first place is in a mirror….
We are an Easter People and Alleluia is our Song !
With every blessing,
Fr Andrew

Conversations with Freddie Mercury
Ronald Ritter
Freddie's outlook or comments about life now come from a different perspective as he has passed over. He views his life from this new existence.
This book is a record of his new perspective, he is charming, witty and spiritual.Once passed, Freddie experiences what is known as a viewing. Simply said it is the newly attained ability of the one who has passed to view their own life without judgement and with clarity of understanding.
It is not a biography as we will not tell you where Freddie ate or had his hair cut. It is not the purpose for this book as the facts are easily available on the internet. The sole purpose of this work is to relay the information Freddie passed to us through questions and answers. This is a true account of his perspective on life from his new position in the spiritual world. How he viewed himself in his physical life, may not at times resemble his viewpoint now. We thank you on advance and you can be assured these are the words of Freddie.
We met Freddie Mercury early one morning in late February 2013. Sussan and I had talked about the possibility of making contact with him on the previous day and she felt he was agreeable to come through. Channeling is about the host (Sussan) matching her vibration to the energy of the non-physical entity, in this case Freddie. Once this occurs the host relaxes and allows the non-physical entity to come through her and use her library of words and emotions to express themselves.
I immediately found strength in Freddie's direct and unashamed answers, he spoke without hesitation, he was in charge and knew exactly what his life was all about. I can only describe him as a 'straight shooter' as he talked freely about all the subjects we asked. He spoke about his early days at school in India, family, sister and the beginnings of the band Queen.
It was especially important to Freddie that we included discussions about all the members of the band and that we did not leave anyone out, as he reiterated, 'we were all part of the success of Queen'. We discussed Mary Austin, the love of his life and had a number of discussions on Brian May. Freddie described Brian as someone 'who would blow us all away' with his knowledge and understanding of the world, the universe and everything in between. It was Brian who gave Freddie great solace about the passage of his passing into the afterlife.
We laughed, we cried as Freddie told us of his sexuality and views on life, we had an education into the world of the superstar, nothing was left out. At one stage with tears in our eyes he gave an invitation to Brian to join us all at a dinner party in Freddie's honor and in his usual flamboyant style, told us to set his place at the table and said,
"Have a drink to life for me."
If you are a fan of Freddie Mercury or just curious you will find many answers about his life that have not been found or discussed in his biographies. You will laugh and cry, you might even sing a verse or two as Freddie talks to us from beyond the grave as we remember a man who reached the pinnacle of musical success. But this is not all about Freddie, it is also about the ones he left behind, the band, the soul mate and the lovers. So join us on an expedition into the world of Freddie Mercury and like us, you will feel something incredibly special for the experience.

You've Got To Be Kidding
What a load of garbage this book is. I'm sure the authors think they are doing something good by giving fans a chance to "hear from" Freddie from beyond the grave, but charging 6 bucks for a book of made-up conversations with the deceased is just exploiting the artist's death. The authors should be ashamed of themselves for trying to mislead fans with this ridiculous "channeling" nonsense. If you're dying to throw 6 bucks away, donate it to a charity. There is no reason to line the pockets of someone trying exploit the ignorant and
Scientifically naieve.

Rise of parental motivation in games
Published by Simon Jones on December 24, 2013
There's a surprising number of games around now in which you take on the role of a parent, one way or another – including literally. Whether it's directly protecting a child in The Walking Dead and The Last of Us or delicately balancing your ethics against the welfare of your family in Papers, Please, there's an increasingly common thread of adult responsibility that I don't recall encountering previously.
To trace it backwards, I'd probably go to Bioshock and it's flawed but intriguing Little Sisters, young children who you could either rescue for moral satisfaction or kill for a power boost. It was overly gamey and the consequences were rather obfuscated (the killing option in particular), somewhat neutering the weight of the choice, but it was nevertheless a ballsy depiction of a child in a horror game, forcing responsibility and ethical decisions on the player. Hardly parental in nature but still a context rarely seen in gaming.
There's also Heavy Rain, David Cage's crime melodrama about a kidnapped child and the father's efforts to save him. It's fairly unflinching, though the parental storyline is one of the weaker ones, the game feeling more comfortable when dealing with journalists and FBI agents.
Then you've got the likes of Half Life 2, whereby you have allies who accompany you, informing the story and giving your actions greater context. The interactions aren't quite parental but they're notable for not being romantic: prior to HL2 the presence of a female character alongside the player would have been solely as a love interest, and that's what makes the game important. It set the bar for the non-romantic relationships seen in Walking Dead and Last of Us, showing that players would still be engaged without cheap titillation and that independent female characters could be interesting. Surprise!
Before that there's a slew of games with escort/protection missions, which could be seen as a kind of parental responsibility, but these were usually isolated and inconsequential events in a larger action narrative. Not to mention rubbish and annoying. Finding a way to have players responsible for another without resorting to irritating escort missions, plagued by awful AI, was one of the main hurdles.
A particular early exception would be, of course, Ico. A platformy puzzler in which you're tasked with caring for a slightly pathetic princess, literally holding her hand and guiding her safely through the hostile world. It's a subtler and more touching basis for interaction than was generally seen at the time which set the tone for the likes of The Last of Us.
The shift from lone warrior, to action hero complete with love interest, to adult with responsibilities, directly tracks the aging of game developers and players, from teenagers to young adults through to real life parenthood. It's developers making games about topics relevant to them at the time.
It's part of the reason season 2 of The Walking Dead hasn't really grabbed my attention yet: it appears to have jettisoned the parent-child dynamic, with the player now controlling the younger character directly. At least on the surface that prospect seems less interesting and more generic, though trying to replicate the character relationships from the first season would also be a mistake. I'll check out how successful they've been at changing the structure of the series at some point next year.

Coining new acronyms for 'BC'and 'AD'--the two time periods, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Thursday used them to take a swipe at the Congress, saying the opposition party has known only two phases--'Before Congress' and 'After Dynasty'.
during the debate on motion of thanks to President's address on the country's achievements since Independence.
In a marathon reply to the debate, Modi said the Congress keeps bringing up 1947 like BC and AD whenever the current government speaks about its achievements since 2014 when it came to power.
"When we speak about history, we use BC and AD. We heard speeches which kept mentioning the periods from 1947 to 2014.
"BC and AD have their meanings. BC means 'Before Congress' which means there was nothing before the Congress came to power and AD 'After Dynasty' which means whatever happened was after the dynasty," Modi said in a veiled reference to the Nehru-Gandhi family.
The terms AD(anno Domini) and BC(before Christ) are used to label or number years in the Julian and Gregorian calendars.
Modi also accused the Congress of defaming the nation.
"In discussing Modi and in discussing BJP, they end up defaming the nation. That is why their leaders go to London and do press conferences to show India in bad light," the prime minister said.
Modi made this remark in an apparent reference to a news conference in London by a self-proclaimed cyber expert who claimed that the 2014 Lok Sabha polls were rigged through hacked Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs).
Congress leader Kapil Sibal was present at the conference last month through skype by an US-based Indian who identified himself as Syed Shuja.
Sibal had said he attended the event in personal capacity, in response to the BJP's allegation that he was there on behalf of his party.
Modi also said the Congress did not have vision and has not worked for the benefit of the nation.
"Modiji will frighten the people who are corrupt," said Modi, adding, "the nation has put me in this position to end corruption.


A comprehensive rehabilitation of a flat in MALAGA. On this flat the pillars were an aesthetic problem to be integrated into the project. Unable to hide them we opted for prominence. Thus metal and lighting created the point of care.
Comprehensive reforms in the small bathrooms if they have natural light improves dramatically when incorporating glass furniture combined with mirrors allowing the passage of light and give a feeling of spaciousness and wellness.
Sometimes furniture we designed with some of our suppliers to adapt to the spaces without losing originality and functionality. On this occasion, an exclusive bar work with cutting board included, essential for cooking easily.
Greenhouse portable. Furniture store fresh herbs, thyme, basil, parsley, and fresh all the time. This activity is relaxing and natural. We like to surprise our customers with details that help to promote healthy cooking.
Interior remodeling. A small functional bedroom, we boost giving a contrast of materials and colors. A wardrobe (must) with sliding doors to the ceiling and a generous bed head that distributes impact providing visual breadth.
Complete refurbishment of a kitchen. A proper distribution of the furniture with the color combination creates a kitchen full of character. We also have a large storage capacity without overloading the space thanks to the glass cases.
Complete refurbishment bathroom in Barcelona. One of the bathrooms were small in size and no natural light. Quite a challenge! Various options, the chosen one was visually expanding the space, removing the countertop and large mirrors were proposed.
Interior design for a hall. With furniture specially designed and manufactured as we solve a space and make it a reading room while on a table for a drink, share sociable moments or watch TV.

What is political advertising? Simply put, it is any type of ad that aims to sway voters one way or another. It has many forms, the hottest of which right now is social media. Traditionally it has existed as TV ads, newspaper ads, or magazine ads. The new era of political advertising brings several unique challenges and issues.
The issue has been a hot button one worldwide. There have even been cases where countries have used political advertising to sway voters in other countries. The most notable is Russia buying political advertising worth $100,000 to influence an important election in 2016.
A political ad can be paid for by a political candidate themselves, a special interest group, or a political party. Oftentimes there are complaints about how accurate or true the advertising is, especially during election periods. When getting their point across, often the party behind the ad will use hyperbole, or make claims that cannot be verified. The fact that they are funded by parties that cannot be identified is also a concerning one.
The media often has no control over the accuracy of the ad's content. Unless an ad flaunts broadcast rules, a radio station, newspaper, or website will not interfere. The viewers and readers, on the other hand, are the ones who usually complain of misleading advertisements.
Many developed countries have an ad standards body. The problem is, they usually have no say over political advertising. There's often no law in place that says an ad's content must be factually correct. In a sense, when it comes to these types of ads, anything goes. Currently though, there is a move in some places to scrutinize these ads and regulate them more effectively.
Regulation is a relatively new development in the field of political advertising. America is a prime example of what happens when regulation is attempted. The FEC started in January to put new rules in place. The year 2018 is a midterm election year, which makes it a significant point in time.
However, this process has been long and fraught with political back and forth. The proposed Honest Ads Act has gone nowhere. It targets online advertising in particular. If the bill were to be successful, there would be more transparency. There would be a public record of ads that included the price that was paid for it, and who it targeted. It would also update the 50-year-old Federal Election Campaign Act to cover digital services.
The US is one of the most proactive countries working to regulate the industry right now. Yet it's plain to see that they are still struggling. Soon, as voters become more knowledgeable, change may come. It will need the cooperation of traditional TV and radio companies as well as tech companies like Facebook. For legislation to pass, though, the same candidates and parties that benefit from an unregulated political advertising system will be the ones attempting to regulate themselves.

The 1960s ushered in an era of multiple narratives across the U.S. One striking story of the decade was President John F. Kennedy's election and a promise to land a man on the moon.
Another, covered a racial divide across the country that was also felt in Cleveland.
In the City's Hough neighborhood tension built over the 2 decades leading to the 60s as the racial make-up in that part of town changed.
Ideastream's Darrielle Snipes continues our series "Hough: Before and Beyond '66" with a look at the issues that surrounded a series of violent nights in July of that year.
During World War two, the Hough neighborhood was transitioning as more blacks migrated from the south to the north looking for better jobs, housing and education. Whites were moving to affluent suburbs.
Urban renewal, a federal program to clear and redevelop low-income areas with more affordable housing, and freeway construction forced more blacks to move to the Hough area in the 1950's.
Cleveland State University History professor Mark Souther says in the 1950's blacks made up less than 5% of the population in Hough. Ten years later more than 70% of the 2-point-2 square mile neighborhood was black. He says white property owners ended up renting, often at inflated prices, their houses to these new residents.
Souther says the city, under Mayor Ralph Locher, didn't provide services, like regular trash pick-up; attracting rodents and landlords neglected their properties further deteriorating the quality of life.
"One of the most insidious things the Locher administration allowed to happen is for the housing department to give an order not to enforce the housing code in the Hough area," he said.
The NAACP and leaders of the black community tried to get the city to make changes.
Rev. Charles Lucas, was a pastor at Greater Avery AME Church, located in Hough, and a member of the NAACP working to resolve issues including unemployment, a segregated school system and tension between African- Americans and a majority white police department.
"That was trouble right there so the police were not trusted. There was a lot of police brutality," he said.
In the early 1960's both Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcom X visited Cleveland and gave civil rights speeches.
The United States Commission on Civil Rights, created by President Dwight D. Eisenhower to investigate issues around discrimination, held a hearing in Cleveland in April of 1966.
The commission released its initial findings on June 30th, 1966 recommended the city bring homes up to code and improvements to the school system.
That was three weeks before the Hough Riots began.


The Easts Tigers sounded a warning shot that will be heard around the Intrust Super Cup as they defeated the Northern Pride 24-18 at Suzuki Stadium.
Bolstered by NRL players Javid Bowen and Ethan Lowe - and coming off five successive wins - the Pride certainly weren't humiliated.
They scored the first three tries of the game, with young half Jack Campagnolo opening the scoring in the 11th minute followed by a double to Shawn Bowen in the 13th and 17th minutes to lead 14-0 after 18 minutes.
The Tigers then scored 24 unanswered points, including three tries in the first half to claw their way back to 18-16 down at halftime.
The Tigers were strong across the paddock, with captain Jake Foster, a key figure in organising the club's inaugural Indigenous day jersey and celebrations, playing like a man inspired and being a constant danger down the left edge.
Scott Drinkwater had another sublime day and put on another fullback master class, scoring two tries and playing a part in both of the Tigers other tries.
He provided the match winner Shane Neumann in the 66th minute when he launched a high bomb down the short side, followed through, leapt high and batted the ball back for Neumann to swoop.
The two sides finished having scored four tries each, with the kicking of Billy Walters (4 from 5) compared to Campagnolo (1 from 4) being the difference.
Brett Greinke and veteran Neumann were among a plethora of well performed Tigers.
Meanwhile, former South Logan Magpie Marion Seve made a solid debut for the Tigers after a mid-season transfer from the Broncos to the Storm.
In a high-quality game with a low error rate, there were few penalties and both teams gave their all.
The Pride did not make many errors, however their tendency to turn over possession in their first set after scoring proved costly.
For the Pride Jordan Biondi-Odo and Campagnolo were to the fore, along with Sheldon Powe-Hobb who made a significant impact off the bench.
Ethan Lowe almost provided the match-winner for his side when he made a clean break through the Tigers right edge, however his inside pass to fullback Jack Murphy went to ground and the opportunity was lost.
The Tigers did not give the Pride another chance and wound the last 90 seconds off the clock to secure what could be a vital two points.
Both teams face tough road trips next week; the Tigers to Mackay and the Pride to Papua New Guinea.
EASTS TIGERS 24 (Scott Drinkwater 2, Jarrod McInally, Shane Neumann tries; Billy Walters 4 goals) def NORTHERN PRIDE 18 (Shawn Bowen 2, Jack Campagnolo, Javid Bowen tries; Jack Campagnolo goal) at Suzuki Stadium, Langlands Park.

Smoky Chimichurri Sauce is the perfect way to add zesty, smoked flavor to your beef, chicken or pork! Made with fresh parsley, smoked paprika, oregano, garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil and vinegar, it is a quick and tasty addition to any meal.
There is something so decadent about taking a bite of perfectly grilled steak… and even more so when it is slathered with rich Smoky Chimichurri Sauce. It is earthy and spicy and makes grilled meat taste extra rich and juicy. This chimichurri sauce takes the regular sauce up a notch by adding an unexpected hit of smoky flavor by spiking it with smoked paprika!
You guys…I finally did it! I have been struggling to create a really good smoky sauce for meat and for a while had just gone back to bottled barbecue sauce. But no more folks! Today I present a different take on the classic chimichurri sauce… a savory smoky sauce that takes all of our grilled meat up a notch!
Often called "Argentine Barbecue Sauce", Chimichurri is traditionally a marinade used on grilled meat, typically containing parsley, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, and flakes of chili pepper.
When using an herb like parsley, it is important to remove the tough stems before chopping it up or putting in the food processor. The stems do not have the same delicate flavor as the leaves and are hard to chew. Just take each stem of parsley and using a sharp knife, cut the long stem away. For the softest Chimichurri, I also pick off the parsley leaves from each of the smaller stems and discard them. Then….use your knife to mince up the parsley leaves as small as you can without mashing them. Done, now wasn't that easy?
Large Eversharp Kitchen Knife – this is my favorite knife ever! It feels like an expensive knife in your hands. I have used mine everyday for years and it is still as sharp as brand new.
Chop parsley up fine with a sharp knife and place in a small bowl.
Add all of the other ingredients and mix to combine.
Cover and serve at room temperature. Refrigerate leftovers.
For a smoother sauce, add all ingredients to the food processor and puree. Scrape into a bowl for serving.
For milder flavor, reduce or omit the red pepper flakes.

LA Times: Two guns recovered from suspects were purchased legally, federal officials say
Two guns recovered from suspects were purchased legally, federal officials say
Meredith Davis, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said officials had "successfully traced" the four guns recovered in connection with the San Bernardino shooting and determined that two of the weapons were purchased legally.
The guns were bought by an individual associated with the investigation, Davis said but declined to name the person.
"Agents continue to investigate leads concerning the two additional firearms," Davis said.
Police officials said that two suspects, Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, were armed with two assault rifles and two semiautomatic handguns.
The assault rifles were a .223-caliber DPMS Model A15 and a Smith and Wesson M&P15. One of the handguns was manufactured by Llama, and the other by Smith and Wesson.

UPDATE 12/4/17: It has been brought to my attention (thanks Alane!) that this feature is no longer available for MS Word 2016. I will update this post again if that changes!
If you've adopted OneNote as your note-taking program of choice, you'll probably want to share or send a Notebook at some point. Luckily, OneNote makes this quite easy. I'll note that the instructions below also apply to individual Sections in Notebooks! There is also a difference between sharing and sending–when you share a Notebook, you're sharing a 'living' document that will always be up-to-date, while sending a notebook just sends a copy of a specific file.

Contact - Flipped Out Science with Mrs. Thomas!
Hello! I am Laura Thomas and I am the 8th grade science teacher at Meridian World School.
I have a degree in Biology, specializing in wildlife. I worked as a biologist, an environmental educator and curriculum writer, but was drawn to positions where I taught people about ecology, native plants and animals. My love for our world and teaching gave me the inspiration to earn a Master's degree in Secondary Education. I have 2 children, both are in the secondary school at Meridian. My family and I love to travel, especially to the mountains. Travel also allows me to pursue photography and to share nature's beauty. As a family, we are involved in the local and school community by volunteering. My husband and I run and organize Meridian Science Saturday, along with our fabulous committee members.
I feel that when students are successful in their pursuits, it makes them more confident and better equipped to deal with everyday life. I am proud of my students and I want to know when they succeed, whether it is during the school day or during personal time. Please let me know when your child is successful in any pursuit, so that I can encourage them on their journey to discovering themselves.
My philosophy about science is that students need engaging lessons that utilize hands on labs and activities to learn skills and concepts. My role is to facilitate, guide and provide the information these students need to achieve a greater understanding of science and themselves. My goal every year is to become less and less of a fixture in front of the room, but to encourage students to become the experts in the classroom and to learn how to learn. I have high expectations because I feel that every student is capable of learning science. I incorporate technology as much as possible IF it enhances learning.
Have an issue or concern?
I have an open door policy. As a parent myself, I understand when you have questions about the school day. I want more than anything, for your child to be successful. Please understand that I am teaching (all day, every day) and that it will take time for me to return phone calls or emails.


we sure don't want him to choke, so we won't ask him any questions!
I second that motion, Karen!
The fruit man ... a simple and elegant name! I don't believe we know his actual name ~ we don't dare ask!
'Fruit Man' will do nicely.
He is pretty scary, Helen. I do not dare ask either. Thank you!
Yes, I think he would choke for sure.....love this Ninot!
Glad you could drop by. I have been so busy - miss poetry terribly. How are you, dear?
Only to find them rotten inside!


An international law enforcement action involving six countries, to dismantle a network of child abuse photographers, has resulted in the arrest of 10 individuals and the seizure of an extensive amount of digital evidence.
Arrests were made in the Czech Republic (5), France (1), Ireland (1), Spain (1) and Sweden (2). During six house searches, 30 TB of data, hundreds of DVDs, and 480 000 files for analysis were seized.
Europol's European Cybercrime Centre (EC3), together with Eurojust, supported this international investigation into a network of professional photographers who specialised in producing and distributing child abuse material.
The goal of Operation Atelier, which was initiated by the Czech law enforcement authorities, was to dismantle the criminal network that was established by the main targets in the Czech Republic and Sweden. The Czech target took advantage of socially and financially disadvantaged children by convincing them to pose for him - close to 70 children became victims. The suspects then distributed these illegal child abuse images off- and on-line to customers abroad, who are thought to be part of a worldwide network. The Swedish suspect cooperated closely with the Czech target to distribute the illegal material in the EU and Canada.
Europol supported the investigation by facilitating the exchange of information and intelligence, producing analytical reports and hosting an operational meeting. As a consequence of the operational meeting at Europol and a follow-up meeting at Eurojust, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Spain and Europol signed a joint investigation team (JIT) agreement in the framework of this operation. A coordinated action day was consequently held on 4 March 2014.

QlikView Customer Success Story: Lucketts Travel More than just A to B
Read our Customer's published article on how they have used technology to improve their business.
Over the last few years, our customer Lucketts Travel has used technology like Microsoft Office 365, SharePoint and QlikView to transform their business and stay ahead of the competition in their sector. Read this QlikView Customer Success Story below.
Ian Luckett, Director at Lucketts Travel, originally published this piece on Your Ready Business on 30 June 2015 to explain exactly how their technological evolution has helped business at Lucketts.
At Lucketts Travel we provide transport solutions for holidaymakers, day-trippers and corporate clients of all descriptions. In the last few years, the business has undergone a technological transformation far beyond what most people would expect from a business in this sector, but it is helping us stay ahead of the competition.
Lucketts is family owned and has its origins in the 1920s, founded by my grandfather, and now my brother Steve and I are in charge. We have set the business on a path of modernisation, which has helped to move it from a scattergun approach to a more grown up, professional strategy.
The business has always been evolving. Since I joined in 1985, for example, it has developed from a mixed travel and logistics business with about a dozen coaches to a much bigger 'passenger logistics' SME with a fleet of 130 vehicles and about £21 million in annual sales.
Acquisitions in the 1990s and more recently in 2012 have broadened the business and we now also do private hire, school contracts, traditional coach hire and more. We work for National Express and have just signed a great deal with HSBC for an office relocation.
To win these bigger contracts we have to show our credentials, as they all come with all kinds of pre-qualification requirements and stipulations. By professionalising the business and putting all of the necessary steps in place we can now compete on the main stage.
We are more corporate in our outlook and have invested heavily in compliance, customer service, HR, sales and operations. The cornerstone of this transformation has been technology, which is something that might surprise a few people.
About the Technology
When I joined we had a system called Coach Manager. We still have the same system today but it is obviously a lot more sophisticated than in 1985. Back then it was DOS (disk operating system) and had a basic menu-based system, but it still gave important structure to our sales system.
We had just one computer for the whole company and most of the work was still done on paper. We had to book "computer time", which now sounds very old-fashioned.
Over the years there were seminal technology moments, such as buying a second computer, networking them together and sending an email from one to the other for the first time. But now we have a full IT infrastructure with sophisticated communications, tracking systems and the latest software.
We are trying as much as possible to use the cloud to create efficiencies. This allows our team to work on constructive tasks such as quality control, making sure contracts arrive on time and keeping customers happy, rather than spending hours on piles of paperwork. Because of the cloud, our employees can also work remotely and access our internal systems wherever they are.
We recently moved to Microsoft 365, which is the cloud Office suite, and Sharepoint, which is a team-collaboration package helping people work on projects simultaneously and in real time. We also have Qlikview, which helps us get a better understanding of the data we produce.
To put it simply, we want to take our business information – which is contained in pockets – and turn it into business intelligence by collecting it together and learning what makes the business tick.
When it comes to the fleet itself, we've been tracking the vehicles for about 14 years but initially, we didn't really know what to do with the information. Now we use it in all kinds of ways, for example by using websites to discover if jobs are available where our coaches end up so that vehicles don't always travel back empty.
About the Benefits
All this upgrading has been a significant investment of time and effort. We have recruited a lot of people to fit with the new structure and goals of the business and we are still integrating the existing workforce into the new ways of working. But it has been worth it.
We think of it as taking a single step back in order to jump forward and we're confident we'll see further benefits in coming years with bigger, better contracts and the ability to deliver work in a way that exceeds customer expectations.
To other businesses thinking about investing in communications and cloud software I would say do it now. You simply must transform because business doesn't stand still. You might last a few years but soon your rivals will catch up.
Even a start-up with a good web designer can create a professional website that makes them appear a bigger business than they are. This alone could convince their first new customers to switch. You have to think of ways to keep one step ahead and keep innovating to create the best possible products and the most efficient business processes.
Please contact us if you're thinking of upgrading your office technology to catch up to or beat your competition.

In many county jails, deputy sheriffs are tasked with fielding incoming calls from the public with questions about a particular inmate.
That was the case at the jail in Stanislaus County, Calif. Before last year, a deputy sheriff spent countless hours responding to callers asking many of the same kinds of questions: Who is in custody? What are the detainee's charges? What is the bond amount?
Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson said the calls overwhelmed the deputy sheriff to the point that he couldn't do much else other than answer calls, manually searching the jail's computer database for inmate case information.
"I thought, how inefficient this is that I've got a full-time deputy sheriff that's doing nothing but answering the phone," Christianson said.
At the time, roughly 80 percent of calls to the county jail's control center were questions about inmates. To reduce that call flow, the county jail looked to an automated information services (AIS) system with voice recognition capability. The new system was implemented last December.
Now, when callers dial into the jail's phone system, they are prompted to answer a question about the nature of their call. Callers seeking inmate or case information are redirected using voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) technology in the cloud to an AIS platform, hosted by Telerus.
Once redirected, callers simply speak the name of the inmate and the automated system pulls up case information using a continuous data feed from the facility's jail management system, imported into the AIS. Callers then select the information they are seeking about the inmate. Christianson said that in a county jail environment, voice recognition technology provides more streamlined service than dialing in inmate names using a touch-tone process.
Nearly eight months into using the new system, the Stanislaus County jail has reduced incoming call load to the facility's control center by 80 percent, freeing up staff time for deputies to do other work. The Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department also provides a website called Who's in Jail? to help individuals access case information on inmates.

DJ Gold's advice on electro dreams

JMU Journalism's Sarah Hancocks with Thomas Gold at Cream
Liverpool has long been perceived as a hub for music lovers, producing some of the world's biggest music influencers, but its lesser-known house and electro scene has attracted some major stars.
These include the likes of Carl Cox and Paul Oakenfold, who played sell out gigs at Liverpool's Cream back in the 1990s. This week Berlin-born international DJ and producer Thomas Gold spoke to JMU Journalism about his experience of trying to break into the industry.
His advice to budding DJs was to "take your time in trying to find your very own signature sound. Your own little niche".
"Try to be yourself don't copy others use others as influences but if you want to stand out of the crowd you have to be yourself. Find your own unique thing for both producing and playing. Sometimes it may take a while but it's worth it. It's a lot of work," he said.
Gold has taken the main stage at numerous music events such as Coachella, Creamfields, Tomorrowland and Ultra Music Festival in recent years as well as producing a number of big name collaborations with the likes of Fat Boy Slim and Swedish House Mafia.
He added: "At the end of the year I'll be in Croatia and then I'm in the states after Christmas but before that I'm going to Panama, Brazil and then in January I have the whole month off for studio time so I'm super looking forward to that.
"I'm also meeting up with a singer called Harrison Shaw about a collaboration track who has previously worked with David Guetta and has just completed tracks with Hardwell and Steve Aoki."
Gold performed at Liverpool's Cream last Saturday, the event which has gone from a club night to a worldwide dance institution.
Gold said: "I had a great time in Ibiza this year where I played at clubs Amnesia, Cream, and Ushuaia. But I love Liverpool and Manchester. These two cities are crazy and whenever I come to Liverpool and play, it's always a rave. I love it."

MENLO PARK, CA – The National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) today presented Pete Bancroft with the 2018 American Spirit Award at the 2018 NVCA Leadership Gala. Held at the Rosewood Sand Hill in Menlo Park, CA, the NVCA Leadership Gala celebrates the venture industry and honors those who have made significant contributions to foster innovation, advance technology and drive new company formation.
Pete Bancroft is the retired chief executive of Bessemer Securities Corporation and has continued, through the years, an active venture capitalist. He recently sponsored an oral history collection program for the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley entitled "Early Bay Area Venture Capitalists – Shaping the Economic and Business Landscape".
Born February 27, 1930, he graduated from Yale University (Dean's List) with a B.A. degree in 1951. From then until 1956 he did post-graduate studies at Georgetown Foreign Service Institute, served in the Department of Defense and, subsequently, as an officer in the U.S Air Force, stationed primarily in Korea and Japan.
Between 1956 and 1962 Mr. Bancroft was associated with two investment banking firms in New York—Merrill Lynch, and, later, F. Eberstadt & Co. Thereafter, for the next five years, he returned to his native California as a general partner of Draper, Gaither and Anderson, one of the very early venture capital firms.
In 1967 Mr. Bancroft joined Bessemer Securities Corporation, a large private investment company in New York, as Vice President in charge of Venture Capital investments. He was subsequently promoted to Senior Vice President, Investments, in 1974 and then to President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director in 1976. He retired as CEO in 1988 but continued consulting and venture investing with Bessemer until the early 1990's.
Through the years he served on 30 or more corporate boards and also for three years as a Trustee of Carnegie-Mellon University. He was a founding Director of the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) in the early 1970's, serving as President in 1976 and 1977 and then as Chairman in 1978.
Mr. Bancroft remains active as a director of the Paul and Monica Bancroft Family Foundation and with The Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley. In this latter connection, he oversaw the collection of their oral histories by early California venture capitalists through direct interviews and through donations of similar interviews by members of the Western Association of Venture Capitalists and of many of their early compatriots from the East with the help of the National Venture Capital Association.
The Lifetime Achievement in Venture Capital Award was created to recognize venture professionals who have dedicated their professional lives to creating and building successful and highly competitive venture firms as well as portfolio companies that have made a significant contribution to the growth and success of the U.S. economy. Recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award were instrumental in the formation and growth of the venture capital industry and have consistently set high performance standards for the entire industry.
Previous recipients: Bill Draper, Chuck Newhall, Mike Moritz, Mark Heesen, Arthur Rock, Sam Colella, Felda Hardymon, James Blair, Brook Byers, Jean Deleage, Anthony Evnin, Grant Heidrich, Jim Swartz, Bill Hambrecht, Sandy Robertson, Thomas Weisel, Edward Glassmeyer, Peter Crisp, Henry McCance, Paul Wythes, Lionel Pincus, Pitch Johnson, Richard Kramlich, Stanley Golder, Burton McMurtry, Reid Dennis, Peter Brooke, Thomas Perkins, Stanley Golder and David Morgenthaler.

Located in the picturesque village of Trins in Tirol, The Schloss is nestled in a stunning Alpine valley only 25 mins from Innsbruck but in the heart of untouched mountain scenery.
The ethos at The Schloss is simple - unique accommodation, attentive service, inspiring scenery and great food. The traditional, yet unique Austrian house, which has been in the Saker family for centuries, is spacious and filled with character offering beautiful views and a calming and relaxing energy to help you feel at ease and at home.
Set in the picturesque Tyrollean farming town of Trins at 1,223m above sea level, Schloss Schneeberg is only 25 minutes from Innsbruck and 20km from the Brenner Pass into Italy. Trins is a lovely village; peaceful, tranquil and filled with natural beauty as well as being one of the sunniest spots in the Wipptal area. The mountains surrounding Trins are some of the richest with flora in the Alps and criss-crossed by more than 300km of hiking and biking trails, making it perfect for exploring nature's gifts.
Meals will be vegetarian, and produce used is organic whereever possible and sourced from Austria or as locally as possible. When ever possible meals will be served on the 13th century tower with 360 degree views of the mountains and village, the sound of the river below. Breakfast includes things such as seasonal fruit, over night oats, home made sourdough, foraged berry compotes and boiled eggs from local hens. Dinner flavours are based on a mix of European, Middle Eastern & Asian influences whilst also incorporating principles of healing through food. Dietary requests can be catered for.
We will enjoy two lunches and one evening meal out in the local area, taking in the scenery and sampling the local cuisine. These meals will not be included in the retreat price.
Our home for the week is based in the beautiful village of Trins, in Tirol. The closest airport is Innsbruck which runs regular international flights to many destinations across Europe, Innsbruck Train Station has direct links from Amsterdam, Salzburg, Zurich, Munich, Venice and other major European cities. Transfers on arrival and departure days from Innsbruck, whether arriving by plane, train or private transfer, are included in the retreat price. Alternatively transfers from Munich and Salzburg Airports can be arranged at an additional cost, both of which are around 2 hours drive. Suggested airports are Innsbruck and Munich.
Please note… all activities are optional – this is your break and you can choose to do as much or as little as feels right for your mind and body.
Most mornings will include a yoga inspired movement practice which will vary each day, and simple meditation, intention setting for the day, followed by a shared breakfast and then leisurely time to enjoy and relax around the area in groups or in solitude depending on your desire.
After lunch we will spend the afternoon immersing ourselves in nature with explorations on foot in the mountain area, followed by free time, an evening yoga nidra practice and optional sharing circle, then a delicious dinner to finish off our day.
The idea of this retreat is not to be constricted by strict schedules or rigid structure, we will flow with the weather, the energy of the group and days will vary. On at least two days we will take to the mountains for a day in the fresh air, with one all day hike, and there are additional optional activities such as bike hire, climbing and other adventurous experiences should you feel drawn to them.
While this is a guided immersion, if you crave exploration then you are more than welcome to follow your curiosities.
