Sleep Apnea/Snoring is a serious medical disorder where breathing stops and starts during your sleep. Breathing can become very shallow and can typically lasts between 10-20 seconds and may occur multiple times a night. This can disrupt your natural sleep rhythm.
For mild to moderate sleep apnea, custom dental appliance are effective to help you stop snoring and overcome sleep apnea. A sleep study will diagnose the cause of apnea.
Most dental devices are acrylic and fit inside your mouth, much like an athletic mouth guard. These devices open your airway by bringing your lower jaw or your tongue forward during sleep. It is very important to get fitted by a dentist specializing in sleep apnea, and to see the dentist on a regular basis for any dental problems that may occur. You may also need to periodically have your dentist adjust the mouthpiece to fit better.

Assistant Principals' Report
Jo Sayer, Assistant Principal (Excellence in Teaching and Learning)
Over the past term, staff have enjoyed hearing from our student body on curriculum and wellbeing matters. In October, four students from Student Council spoke to the Curriculum Committee suggesting ways of enhancing our current curriculum. Ongoing consultation between Learning Area Leaders and Student Council will see some of these suggestions embedded into the 2023 curriculum.
Two Year 11 students were invited to speak at the whole staff meeting on Tuesday 8th November about how the school can further create a community of inclusion for all cultures. The students spoke eloquently about possible ongoing staff training, ideas for the curriculum and having a clear and open dialogue between students and staff when it comes to reporting racism.
In addition, the school is currently re-writing the Child Safety Policy which now includes an Action Plan for Aboriginal Learning, Wellbeing and Safety. This plan aims to outline the measures that are in place in our school community in order to acknowledge and appreciate the strengths of the Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander culture. Student Council will be an integral part of the writing of this Action Plan to ensure we actively encourage and support all of our student's ability to express their culture and enjoy their cultural rights within the school context.
On 1 July 2022, the new Child Safe Standards were introduced. Consequently, many of our school policies have been recently updated to reflect these changes. I draw your attention particularly to the following policy updates:
Camps and Excursions Policy
Health Care Needs Policy
Duty of Care Policy
Anthony Avotins, Assistant Principal (Positive Climate for Learning):
Our Wellbeing team worked closely with Autism Spectrum Australia to customise a professional learning for all our staff at the last curriculum day of the year. The emphasis was on providing relevant information, perspectives and useful evidence-based strategies when working with students on the Autism Spectrum.
An ASPECT Occupational Therapist and Community Liaison Officer were extremely engaging and provided so many meaningful ways of providing support through reasonable accommodations. Our school places great emphasis on inclusive practices and we are richer for this professional learning experience.
Year 9 Wilderness Week - Our dedicated staff have worked hard to provide memorable wilderness week experiences. We share photos from each of the camps later in the newsletter. The cold wet and snowy December weather challenged the students and staff, and all should be commended for their resilience.
2023 Year 7 Orientation Day - The school was buzzing last Tuesday with excited Year 6 students attending the school for the day, finding their lockers and meeting their teachers and getting to know one another. Welcome the Princes Hill Secondary College community! Special thanks to the 39 current Year 7 students who supported the Grade 6 group to feel at ease.
The completed mural as featured above is the culmination of great work and persistence of our student council. We are also working with the 2022/2023 student leadership group to revamp the school atrium and were successful in our application for a Community Landcare Grant and have started planting native species in the atrium garden beds.

Maria Aurora Couto
Couto at her home in Carona, Aldona in 2015
Maria Aurora Figueiredo
(1937-08-22)22 August 1937
Salcete, Goa, Portuguese India, Portugal
14 January 2022(2022-01-14) (aged 84)
Goa: A Daughter's Story
Filomena's Journeys
Padma Shri (2010)
Maria Aurora Couto (22 August 1937 – 14 January 2022) was an Indian writer and educator from Goa. She was best known for her book Goa: A Daughter's Story and for promoting literature and ideas within Goa and beyond. She lived in the north Goan village of Aldona. In addition to her books, she wrote for newspapers and magazine, and also taught English literature at Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi and Dhempe College of Panjim. She also helped start the DD Kosambi Festival of Ideas in 2008.
Couto was a recipient of the Padma Shri, India's fourth highest civilian award in 2010.
Couto was born in Salcette in South Goa on 22 August 1937 to António Caetano Francisco (Chico) de Figueiredo and Maria Quitéria Filomena Borges. Her parents were both natives of the Velhas Conquistas district of Salcette. Both her paternal and maternal origins were from the Roman Catholic Brahmin community of the erstwhile Portuguese Goa and Damaon.[1][2][3]
She moved as a child to the neighbouring city of Dharwad, then in the Mysore state, and a centre of education and opportunity for Goans, with her parents and six siblings in an attempt to control her father's alcoholism.[4] Following their father's abandonment of the family, the seven children were raised by their mother as a single parent.[5]
Couto studied at St Joseph's High School and later studied English literature at Karnatak University.[6][2][7] In a later interview, she would later recollect that her growing up days were centered around her identity as an Indian, as a Goan, and as a Catholic. The college at the time had students from all over the then Mysore state. Some of her classmates at university included playwright Girish Karnad and author Shashi Deshpande.[2][8] She later completed her PhD in literature studying religious humanism in the works of François Mauriac.[8]
Couto went on to teach English literature in colleges[9] such as Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi and Dhempe College, Panaji[10] and also contributed to periodicals in India and the United Kingdom.[11]
Couto's writing career began with her 1988 book about English author and literary critic, Graham Greene's works, Graham Greene: On the Frontier, Politics and Religion in the Novels.[9] She had met the writer earlier during his visit to Goa in 1963.[2] Her 2004 book, Goa: A Daughter's Story, covers the history of Goa from her perspective in addition to being an autobiography.[12] In 2014, Couto released her book Filomena's Journeys, which delves into the life of her mother, Filomena Borges, covering "Goa's dying Catholic elite" as it showed the shift of society and culture in Goa.[9] In this third book she described her father's battles with alcoholism, life in the changing times, and growing up in multicultural India.[13][14]
As the Chairperson of the DD Kosambi Centenary Committee in 2008, Couto helped initiate the DD Kosambi Festival of Ideas, a lecture series sponsored by Goa's Department of Culture.[15] She was also actively involved with Goa University.[10]
Couto also spoke about environmental issues and on various social justice causes pertaining to her home state of Goa. She spoke against the attacks and vandalism of Catholic crosses in Southern Goa in 2017.[2] She was also a supporter of the Goenchi Mati Movement, a people's movement that protested the mining activities in Goa.[2] Couto was amongst writers who asked the Sahitya Akademi to condemn actions including the M. M. Kalburgi killing and other violence in the country in 2015.[2]
Couto was awarded the Padma Shri, India's fourth highest Indian civilian award, by the Government of India in 2010.[16][17]
Personal life and death
Couto married an Indian civil administrator of Goan origin, Alban Couto (Albano Francisco Couto) in 1961. She moved along with her husband spending time in different parts of India, as well as abroad, and later returned to shape the literature of the region in her later years.[18][7]
Her husband, belonged to the Indian Administrative Service. She met him in Mumbai and they had three children together.[10] Due to the nature of his work, they would travel and stay across the country. They almost settled in Chennai, before finally choosing to live in Aldona, Goa,[19] in his ancestral house. She enjoyed listening to South African jazz and was passionate about films, having started a film club when she was a teacher.[10] Albano Couto died in June 2009.[20]
Maria Couto died of pneumonia on 14 January 2022 at the age of 84.[11][21][2][7]

Smithsonian Folklife Festival records: 1984 Festival of American Folklife
1984 Festival of American Folklife Program Book
This collection documents the planning, production, and execution of the 1984 Festival of American Folklife. Materials may include photographs, audio recordings, motion picture film and video recordings, notes, production drawings, contracts, memoranda, correspondence, informational materials, publications, and ephemera. Such materials were created during the Festival on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., as well as in the featured communities, before or after the Festival itself.
Series 2: Alaska
Series 3: Black Urban Expressive Culture from Philadelphia
Series 4: The Grand Generation
The 1984 Festival of American Folklife was produced by the Smithsonian Office of Folklife Programs and cosponsored by the National Park Service.
Smithsonian Folklife Festival records: 1984 Festival of American Folklife, Ralph Rinzler Folklife Archives and Collections, Smithsonian Institution.
Smithsonian Folklife Festival records: 1984 Festival of American Folklife forms part of the Smithsonian Folklife Festival records .
The 1984 Festival took place for two five-day weeks (June 27-July 1 and July 4-8) between Madison Drive and Jefferson Drive and between 12th Street and 14th Street, south of the National Museum of American History (see site plan).
In the Festival Program Book, its new Co-Directors, Diana Parker and Peter Seitel, took note that 1984 marked a change in Festival administration, noteworthy not because of any change in goals or policies, but because the transition provided the opportunity to recall publicly that it was Ralph Rinzler who began the Festival in 1967 and directed it until 1983 when he became the Institution's Assistant Secretary for Public Service. It was Rinzler who devised the model for scholarly research, planning, and production that made the Festival unique and worthy of emulation by other folklife festival planners around the Nation. He also created an environment in which innovation was enouraged, and cross-fertilization of ideas led to healthy growth. This steady development in the cultural ideas presented in the Festival, Parker and Seitel concluded, had happened under Rinzler's careful supervision and with his guidance at important turning points.
The 1984 Festival included three thematic programs, each of which included a substantial foodways component. Charles Camp served as Foodways Program Coordinator, with Joan Nathan as Consultant and Fieldworker, and Charles Camp, Tim Lloyd, and Phyllis May as Presenters.
The 1984 Program Book provides information on each of the programs.
The 1984 Festival was co-presented by the Smithsonian Institution and National Park Service. It was organized by the Office of Folklife Programs.

Coreau will serve as the Blues' third netminder for the team's playoff run, but it's highly unlikely he will see the crease. The 27-year-old's numbers with San Antonio -- a 3.15 GAA and a .886 save percentage -- are far from appealing, but he'll remain on hand as depth in the event an injury occurs now that the Rampage's season has come to a close.


To support Manushi in the extension of its range of products to develop and maintain its partnerships with Fair Trade and commercial buyers.
Currently Manushi's buyers are doing the design of the products they order, and Manushi's staff or the producers only sometimes develop new designs on their own.
However, by developing by themselves their ranges of products, Manushi is hoping to develop partnerships with more Fair Trade and commercial buyers and maintain their current partnership. It will allow Manushi to give regular work to the producers, which is currently not the case, and to employ more producers as well.
Therefore, Manushi would need the support from a professional product development designer in fashion clothes, accessories and bags for the European market.
Currently Manushi has 12 Fair Trade buyers and 2 commercial buyers answering to Fair Trade principles. They have catalogues of products to share with their buyers or potential buyers; or they send them a CD presenting their products. They have a show room in Katmandu.
But Manushi do not have professional designers working in the organization to develop new products or diversify the existing products.
- Potentially developing a collection of products. Manushi do not have a professional designer working in the organization and a local designer does not have the western standard required.
They would like a professional designer to develop their products, their range of products and the natural raw material used. A succession of several volunteers might be required to fulfill the objective overall.
Profile of the volunteer: experience in development product design and natural material research.
Training will be held from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm The office is located 15 min by taxi from accommodation. Breakfasts and dinners will be taken in restaurants or at the guest house, lunches will be organized in Manushi's office. The mission can happen anytime except during national festivals (weeks 40 and 43 in October).
Women staff of Manushi and indoor producers.
The mission is organized for 10 women staff of Manushi and indoor producers. Also, potentially outdoor producers to be defined.They can read and speak English but have never been trained in design.
Manushi was created in 1991 by a group of seven professional women from different sectors (University teacher, high Level government officers and social workers) to support the empowerment of disadvantaged women especially from rural areas. Ms. Padmasana Shakya, the founder of Manushi and chairperson of the organisation, has a Master in Economics and is devoted social work and women issues. Manushi is addressing gender issues and its goal is to promote gender equality in the promotion of sustainable development, enhance social and economic status of women and put women in the forefront of human development. Manushi is supporting women economically by providing them skill-based and capacity building trainings to empower them through social and economic upliftment. Manushi's main projects are: -Women empowerment and self confidence. -Micro enterprise development through a micro credit programme -Social and economical upliftment of women through handicraft development -Network development for marketing At the beginning, Manushi started a micro enterprise project for 4 years (1993-1997), with the support of the International Council on Management of Population(ICOMP), a Malaysia-based organization. Manushi established a handicraft development programme focusing on low income, destitute, marginalized producers, especially women. This programme became regular and is now supporting 1,800 beneficiaries from 8 districts (90% are women). Manushi also currently provides skill upgrade trainings to the producers through on-the-job training, as well as advanced skill upgrade trainings with the help of partner organizations. Most of the time the design of products is decided by the buyers but Manushi's staff and their producers also develop new products or designs to expend the market. 1.	Production – Manushi focuses on eco-friendly handicrafts based on natural fiber products like banana fiber or hemp, and using natural dyes like herbs and fruits. Manushi has 1,200 regular producers. 2.	Micro credit to women- Manushi has launched a microcredit programme since 10 years for poor women in four districts. It supports 16,397 (2014) beneficiaries, providing them group-based loans without collateral and individual saving skills. The loans are managed by the women's groups, that provide them to individuals and the group has to monitor the repayment of their members. 3.	Micro enterprise development. 4.	Skill training - in different subjects such as technology improvement, production, according to the needs of the market. Manushi supports around 18,000 beneficiaries in total: -	16,397 women from different districts for the micro credit programme. Most of them are from low income family, single women, widows, disadvantaged and marginalized, housewives. -	1,200 regular producers, women and men, sometimes up to 1,300 to 1,500 depending upon the market demand. 20 full-time producers are "in house" producers which mean they produce in the office in Kathmandu, the other ones are producing from their home. The "in house" producers receive a fix monthly salary of Rs. 12,000 (95 euros) + some facilities as insurance, food, transportation. The other producers are paid per piece but their salary is more than the minimum base salary from the government. Manushi finances its programmes thanks to export to fair trade buyers and commercial buyers and the marketing of products from their small producers. Regarding the design of the products, they receive technical support from the fair trade buyers and commercial buyer that apply fair trade principles. Manushi's action covers the following districts: Sindhupalchok- Micro Credit Nuwakot- Micro Credit Kathmandu- Micro Credit, Handicrafts Dolakha- Micro Credit Janakpur- Mithila art and crafts Nawalparashi- Natural Fibre Lalitpur- Handicraft Bhaktapur- Handicraft. It employs 14 people working at their head office and 20 "in house" producers.
The Planète Urgence volunteer will be accommodated in a guest house in Lalitpur, with individual room, bathroom, electricity, mosquito net.
The training will be held in Manushi's office in Lalitpur. Visit to project areas can be organized if needed. The training room is equipped with a white board, paper board, computers, projectors, Internet.

But as much as it is a game of nostalgia, it's a game of competition, frustration, and irritation; over the years the developers haven't kept on top of certain issues that other games are designed to handle.

Lady Saints Volleyball wins over Hutchinson, sits first in Jayhawk West Conference
Brynn Grieshaber
Alvaro Rengifo, Reporter
The fight for sole ownership of the top spot in the Jayhawk West Conference finished with an emotional fight to the fifth. The Lady Saints faced Hutchinson Community College in a rough and dramatic night for both teams. The support from the community and the intensity shown on the court made this night one to remember.
The game started off competitive from the first serve and both teams were looking at their peak with a three to three score in the first two minutes of the game, but Hutchinson gained momentum and started leading by three. The Saints made an important come back to 10-7 with an even match following through the majority of the game. The first set was being led by Seward until Hutchinson made four consecutive points in the late game earning a score of 19-22. Hutch took the first set with a score of 22-25.
The Lady Saints made it clear that they'd had enough by starting the second set with a score of 7-1, making their rivals fly off the handle. The cheers of support from the packed house aided in keeping the players on their toes and excited. The set was dominated by Seward until they lost their footing and allowed Hutchinson to win five points in a row to sway the game with a score of 18-13. But the Lady Saints doubled down and quickly started taking decisive points to win the second set 25-21.
Mariana Nascimento powers up for a serve. The 6″1′ freshmen has had 24 service aces so far this year.
After a short intermission, both teams came back from the locker room ready to tackle the third set. Seward County started strong once more and took the lead by winning the first two points but its hit back by Hutchinson who levels the score. After an intense set of even plays throughout the match, Hutchinson who was able to win the third set 22-25.
Just as before, the Lady Saints bounced back with fire. The whole Greenhouse was in a roar as SCCC began leading by 5 points. Hutchinson were not going to let this happen and made a comeback to start leading by 12-13. Coach Thias B. Allen called the timeout when saw her team losing too many consecutive points. The short break did wonders for the team as they began leading by 16-14. The game was getting fierce and the tension was high. Hutchinson coach Patrick Hall burst up when the referee made a controversial call that seemed to affect the Blue Dragons' synergy and gave the Lady Saints the power to win the fourth set 25-20.
The struggle was now down to the wire. The tension shown by both teams was pure adrenaline as the fight for first place in the conference was to be decided by a fifth set played to only fifteen points. The game was neck and neck but Hutchinson was able to control the pressure and came back to get ahead by 6-4. Seward called a time-out which, as before, was without any doubt the key for the team to buckle down and clear their minds. The Lady Saints came back by playing smart and earning four points in row to get a score of 8-6. Every point left the audience on the edge of their seats. As the final point struck the court, it was Seward who grasped victory with a score of 15-11.
Emotions were running high as most of the Lady Saints Volleyball team cheered and even cried happily. Coach Allen could not resist showing emotion as she said, "This is a very important win as you can see in the player's faces."
Maritza Mesa, sophomore from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, said "We made it! They were the only ones we have lost to, and I am very proud of what we just did."
The Lady Saints gather to celebrate with pats on the back after gaining a point. The team will take on Colby Community College next Wednesday at Colby.

Liberal Democrats set to elect fourth leader in five years
Result of contest between Ed Davey and Layla Moran to be announced midday on Thursday

The Liberal Democrats will elect their fourth leader in five years on Thursday as the party continues to try to rebuild itself after a series of crushing general election defeats and poor poll ratings.
The result is due to be announced at midday on Thursday, with senior party sources suggesting it had been an extremely close race.
The coronavirus pandemic meant the acting leader and former energy secretary, Ed Davey, and the party's education spokeswoman, Layla Moran, were forced to conduct the campaign almost entirely online.
This is Davey's second attempt to take on the leadership of the party after he lost to Jo Swinson in her landslide victory last summer.
Just six months later, she resigned after losing her seat at the 2019 general election following a highly personalised campaign in which she claimed she could be prime minister.
Davey said: "The next leader faces a huge job to rebuild the party, take on the Conservatives and get the party winning nationally again.
"This contest has put both candidates through our paces and made sure that the victor is battle-tested for this tough job ahead.
"Whoever wins, it is vital that the party unites, works together on the challenges we face and continues to stand up for the people in society who need us the most."
The new leader will take over the party at a moment when it is polling at 6% and has struggled to make a comeback since its time in coalition with the Tories when it had 57 MPs. However, membership remains at a record high of 120,000.
In a relatively quiet campaign, one of the main points of difference has been on how closely the Liberal Democrats should work with other parties, with Moran favouring closer cooperation than Davey.
Moran, who is half-Palestinian, has also been seen by younger members as a fresh face untainted by the coalition era, as she was elected to Oxford West and Abingdon in 2017. She also got widespread support from the party's LGBT+ group.
Strategically, both will have to contend with an altered political landscape where Labour's disenchanted supporters may drift back to the party under the leadership of Keir Starmer.
Moran said: "I am immensely proud of the positive and hopeful campaign my team have run, and I have sent my heartfelt thanks to all the volunteers who helped me.
"Both Ed and I have committed to implement the general election review and improve diversity in our party."

As the proposals for revising the EU clean energy directives are going through the approval process, it is timely that Nils Zimmermann wrote this article on the Deutsche Welle website. What are your views? EiD would like to hear from you.
First, a dry statistic: Eurostat, the European Union's central statistics agency, released a report on Monday saying that the EU consumed slightly less energy in 2015 than it did in 1990.
"The total amount of energy consumed in the EU in 2015 amounted to 1626 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe), 2.5 percent below its 1990 level, and down by 11.6 percent compared to its peak of almost 1840 Mtoe in 2006," according to the report.
Why are these numbers interesting? Let's put them into perspective. Over the same period, gross domestic product (GDP) of the 28 countries in the EU more than doubled. EU GDP in 2015 was about 2.15 times the size of the bloc's GDP in 1990.
The numbers show that Europe's economies have become much more energy-efficient at producing goods and services since 1990. That was to be expected, given the long-term trend toward more efficient cars, trucks, industrial and energy-generation equipment, especially in the post-Warsaw Pact countries of central and eastern Europe.
However, the statistics also underline that Europe is failing to do what's necessary to protect global climate stability. Efforts to decarbonise energy and transport systems have been far too slow and limited in scope. Eurostat's numbers also show that Europe remains worryingly dependent on energy imports from outside the region.
It's been nearly thirty years since June 24, 1988. That was the day leading NASA climate scientist James Hansen rang warning bells heard around the world. He testified at a US Senate hearing that the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere resulting from the burning of fossil fuels was changing the global climate – and that extremely disruptive long-term consequences could be expected as a result.
Accounting for nearly three-quarters of EU consumption of energy in 2015, fossil fuels have continued to represent by far the main source of energy for Europe. Their proportional weight has decreased over the past three decades, as a result of increased deployment of renewable energy technologies – but only from 83 percent in 1990 to 73 percent in 2015.
In light of Hansen's warning, since confirmed and intensified by countless scientific studies, that's very modest progress.
Europe's dependence on imported fossils fuels has increased especially markedly. 73 percent of fossil fuels consumed in Europe in 2015 were imported, compared with just over half (53 percent) in 1990.
Denmark's leaders decided in 1976, in the wake of the OPEC oil embargoes, to take measures to reduce the country's dependence on imported energy. Since then, Danish engineers took steps to tap the substantial endowment of oil and natural gas under its North Sea coastal waters, and Denmark has become a net exporter of crude oil.
Denmark has also made great strides in achieving housing-sector energy efficiency, and in installing renewable energy capacity – above all by deploying wind turbines, which supplied 42 percent of the country's electricity by 2015.
It is clear that Europe will have to move much more quickly than it has in the past to deploy domestic low-carbon energy systems, in order to avoid further destabilising the climate. The subcontinent's growing dependency on imported fossil fuels provides an additional reason to accelerate the build-out of domestic clean energy systems: Doing so will reduce Europe's geopolitical dependency on oil and gas imports from unstable or potentially hostile supplier countries.

2016 Person of the Year: Tijuana Fulford
By Jen Nuzzo
Christmas shined a little brighter this year for families living in some of Long Island's poorest neighborhoods thanks to the efforts of one Riverside native.
Tijuana Fulford, 33, a former Girl Scout and mother of three young children, surprised nearly 90 young girls with mountains of presents Dec. 21 at the Riverhead Town Senior Center in Aquebogue.
It marked the second year in a row Ms. Fulford, known to the children as "Miss Tia," organized the charitable event through The Butterfly Effect Project, a nonprofit she founded in March 2014.
Before opening their gifts — many of which were donated or purchased by Ms. Fulford — each girl wrote a thank-you note to Judy Doll, the town's senior citizen programs director, expressing gratitude for allowing them to use the building.
"It was very awesome to see everyone in the community come together," Ms. Fulford said. "I live by example and I'm very honest with the girls. With this program, we have a lot of ups and we have a lot of downs, but at the end of the day, I won't trade one volunteer. Not one child."
For creating a free program to help preteens build confidence and live life to its fullest while staying out of trouble, Ms. Fulford is the Riverhead News-Review's 2016 Person of the Year.
The group, which achieved nonprofit status in August 2015, started with eight girls and meetings were held in the basement at Riverhead Free Library. Currently, there are 90 girls in the program, which meets Wednesday nights at the town senior center in Aquebogue, where local professionals are often invited to teach a fun skill and discuss their careers and life experiences. A second chapter operates in Bellport.

Ms. Fulford, who now lives in Mastic Beach and works as an office manager at Middle Country Endocrinology in Smithtown, said she created the program to share what she's learned with local children who are less fortunate, hoping to ensure that the girls won't miss out on opportunities to better their lives.

Twelve-year-old Riverhead Middle School student Amaryana James said she had fun at the recent Christmas gathering, where she listened to a reading of "The Polar Express" and then received a copy of the book. She said she mostly enjoys the opportunity the Butterfly Effect Project affords her to show compassion for others.
"It's really fun to see people smile when they don't have something," Amaryana said, recalling times the group members provided Easter baskets for local shelters and made sandwiches for the homeless.
Her friend Azharia Allen said she enjoys participating in group activities, such as parades. She's also grateful for the friendships she's made through The Butterfly Effect Project, as well as Ms. Fulford's teachings.
"Miss Tia is very important to me," Azharia said. "She's my role model."

Riverhead parent Ebony Street and her 6-year-old daughter, Hanna, said they also appreciate opportunities to get involved with community projects.
"My daughter is experiencing new things, meeting new people," Ms. Street said. "She's able to give back to people she doesn't know."
Ms. Street said she believes Ms. Fulford's thoughtfulness has reached families who may not have the means to have a nice Christmas.
"I think it's great what Tia is doing and what the program stands for — helping others in need," she said. "It's a hard time of year. It definitely helps aid other families to have a good Christmas."
Feeling left out because of your family's financial situation is a scenario all too familiar to Ms. Fulford, who grew up with four siblings and a father addicted to crack cocaine.
"Even though he suffered from drug addiction, he made it a priority to make sure I got up and went to school," she explained. "By doing that, it led me to meeting Justine Wells."
Ms. Fulford attributes her success to the late Ms. Wells, a longtime Riverhead town historian who died June 23, 2015, at the age of 91.
Ms. Wells' message of choosing hard work over self-pity helped Ms. Fulford gain confidence, enabling her to better herself and make friends.
Lately, Ms. Fulford said she finds herself saying "W.W.J.D."— "What would Justine do?" — out loud when she's trying to figure out her next move with The Butterfly Effect Project.
"She saved my life," Ms. Fulford said. "Every idea she taught me, I teach every girl. She didn't see Tia, a little black girl. She saw a girl who had potential. She didn't give up on me."

Chris Kempner, the town's community development director, said there's a strong need for a program in the area to mentor girls, especially one that's open to all children regardless of financial background.
Ms. Kempner said she's inspired by Ms. Fulford's actions and admires how she's dedicated a lot of time — and her own money — to making sure the program succeeds.
"She brings the whole world to these young girls so they can enlarge their goals," Ms. Kempner said. "Tia has a lot of opportunities for people to get involved with the program. From volunteering or one donation, no matter how small. It's just a great program for kids who deserve to have opportunities outside what they might just see at their home or school."
Ms. Fulford's husband, Troy, is the group's lone male volunteer. While he tends to clown around with the girls, he said he enjoys acting as a father figure.
He grew up in a single-parent home and his mother worked two jobs to support her family. The lessons he learned about the importance of hard work are what he tries to teach the group.
"You want to work for it because it's more rewarding that way," he said.
When asked about his wife's accomplishments, Mr. Fulford said he's in awe of how much The Butterfly Effect Project has grown in just a few years and that he sometimes finds himself having to remind her to pause and carve out some time for herself.
"My wife is an awesome person," he said. "She doesn't know it, because she's always doing everything for everybody. She never gives up on something she wants to do. She conquers everything."

The Baltimore County Arts Guild (BCAG) seeks a Maryland artist to create a permanent outdoor mural for an audience of all ages on the east wall of the Catonsville Cube located at 757 Frederick Road, Baltimore Maryland 21228, to be completed by August 2020. Currently, this location serves as the gateway to the downtown's major community gathering place for Frederick Road Fridays, Sunday Farmer's Market, and the July 4th musical celebration. This site also marks where the Bike and Hike Trail will connect to Catonsville's Main Street.
BGAG is committed to creating an aesthetically engaging, inspiring, and welcoming gateway to Catonsville's busiest communal area. The large mural on the highly visible east wall (on Frederick Road) of The CUBE will celebrate Catonsville's vibrant musical, social, and cultural traditions while actively promoting the Bike and Hike Trail. It is our intention this large mural (Phase 1) will then serve as the catalyst for transforming the entire parking area with a series of smaller murals (Phase 2), creating a visually engaging venue for the many community events held there.
The Baltimore County Arts Guild was formed in 2012 with the mission of providing visual and performing arts experiences for artists and residents to strengthen Baltimore County communities. We create art spaces, provide introductions to the arts, serve budding and experienced artists, and build a strong community through arts engagement.
The large CUBE mural will serve as the gateway to Catonsville's cultural hub, while supporting the Bike and Hike Trail and its physical connection to Frederick Road. The mural will promote Catonsville as a walkable, bike-friendly community.
The parking area on Mellor and Frederick behind The CUBE has developed into the place where Catonsville residents gather as a community; every Friday in June, July, and August, residents enjoy music, food, and socialize with their Catonsville neighbors. Every Sunday from May to November, the lot is transformed into a bustling farmers' market with fresh produce, baked goods, and unique specialty items. And even at the Farmers' Market, there is music, supporting Catonsville's reputation as Music City, Maryland. The CUBE parking area enjoys a rich history, once the spot where the Short Line Depot stood. Currently, community activists are working to connect the Short Line, (now the Bike Trail) directly to downtown Catonsville's Frederick Road at the Depot's original location, on the east side of The CUBE.

I rarely feel overdressed, but last night at the Neurolux, it occurred to me that maybe this silk wonder is a bit much. And then, I draped myself over their pool table. I'll do anything for fashion. Especially risk being too luxe. Exquisite photographs by the multi-dimensional, multi-talented Kim Philley.

This is a healing journey that I performed on myself after having experienced a deep sense of betrayal in regards to misinformation perpetrated by my pendulum.
The healing truly begins when I ring my dear friend, Kim, to share the entire circumstance of this betrayal from it's onset. I had kept it to myself, suffering greatly. I trust her judgement implicitly and felt so incredibly relieved to be able to share this pain with someone who knows and loves me so deeply. I must say, there is an infinite amount of palpable relief experienced when one unburdens one's heart to someone they trust.
Having gratefully and completely unburdened my heart, I felt that my entire perspective shift from victim to observer.
I set to meditate with intent to give gratitude for the diversity. And the advice.
I evoke the beautiful meadow of wildflowers that is the entrance to my personal Spiritual Atmosphere. A door opens. This room is in much need of light and there is a torch in a wall sconce. I lift it and bend it until it cracks open with light. The growing light reveals an old attic. The windows are blacked out there are old trunks and boxes, wardrobes and old portraits lining the round walls. A trunk opens and what seems like a dress fit for a queen rises from it.
I put it on and the dress falls to ashes. I find a little hand broom and I sweep these ashes up and place them inside a small pouch. I carry it as I continue around the room. Another trunk opens and a military uniform appears. I don it and it too, falls into ashes. Now having two pouches of ashes, I proceed to a box that has opened to reveal a staircase. I have to hold the rail as I descend the steep stairs.
When I arrive at the bottom I am on a desolate street running parallel to a river. I climb down some stairs and follow a path by the river's edge. I decide to sit and wait under the bridge. Along the river emerges an old oriental man in a boat. He eagerly trades me one coin and one diamond for the two sacks of dust. I go back upstairs to the street and a village has appeared on the far side of the lane.
I cross the road and enter a small bodega. There is a drink machine there and I drop the coin in the receive a beverage. I get a bottle of healing, glitter gel! Then, I notice that change from this coin is erupting from the machine. The entire room is being flooded with these shiny, new coins. I go outside and alert the neighborhood children to come scoop up the coins to bring them home. The word spreads like wildfire and soon, the bodega is flooded with all the townsfolk who were desperate for the infusion of prosperity.
"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" She shouts at me and continues down the path.
The steep stairs then emerge so I climb them and am now back in the attic room.
This attic space has become a very happy and important part of my Spiritual Atmosphere. The windows are open and cleaned, revealing out of the 4 windows a scene from each season. There is a large round, silk tuffet in the center for meditation. From this vantage point, I can enjoy Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall as I wish. There is also a family of white mice who have presented themselves to me. They announced that it is their job the keep the space tidy and fresh. They are such darling friends that I opened for them, a little portal into a little tiny amusement park so they can play while I am away. These darling critters often join me when I am just laying amongst the wildflowers just outside of the attic. I love that I have friends everywhere!

JA Solar, a China-based global solar cell and module manufacturing leader, will establish its first US manufacturing facility in Phoenix, Arizona. The $60 million project is expected to create more than 600 jobs.
The new facility will produce high-efficiency solar panels (PV modules) for commercial and residential rooftop applications, as well as for utility-scale solar power plants deployment with annual production capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW) once it is fully functional. Operations are scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2023.
"We are very excited to be able to set up the first US solar module manufacturing facility in Arizona to provide our customers in the US the flexibility and ease of access to JA Solar's high-performance PV products," said Aiqing Yang, President of JA Solar. "JA Solar thanks all the partners in Arizona, especially the ACA, GPEC, and the City of Phoenix for their great support and tremendous assistance during the entire process of site selection and space leasing in preparation to establish the manufacturing facility. Solar is a critical part of renewable energy and we are thrilled to be a part of the effort to meet the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 in the US"
JA Solar Holdings is a solar development company founded in Yangpu district, Shanghai. The company designs, develops, manufactures and sells solar cell and solar module products.
"JA Solar's new facility showcases Arizona's attractiveness as a global manufacturing destination," said Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA). "We are grateful JA Solar will manufacture its high-efficiency solar panels in Phoenix, enhancing Arizona's renewable energy industry."
"Innovations in clean technology allow Greater Phoenix to produce the power requisite for promoting job growth throughout the region," said Chris Camacho, President and CEO of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council. "We are excited to support JA Solar in its expansion to Phoenix, creating more than 600 jobs for local residents and sustainably bolstering energy production in the region to enable economic transformation."

IBackup for Windows For those who need advanced functionality and a range of service options, and can invest some time in learning the service, iBackup is a good choice.
Somewhat difficult to use for mainstream tasks such as scheduling.
For those who need advanced functionality and a range of service options, and can invest some time in learning the service, iBackup is a good choice.
We also found that setting up automatic backups wasn't as intuitive as with DataProtector and wasn't built into the install as seamlessly. This was characteristic of IBackup's wizards and features in general; the functionality was excellent, just tough to wade through.
Once we got the hang of IBackup, it proved to be rich indeed. The Sync feature lets you synchronize your desktop and backup files, and even prompts you to organize your files neatly to facilitate syncing. IBackup does not handle system files and rollback, however.
IBackup's toolbar shows how much of your allotted storage space is being used. Also, sharing files with multiple users is easier and potentially more economical than with DataProtector, thanks to a workgroup service plan for small businesses or home networks. As many as 25 users can access the same files for fees ranging from $10 per month for 500MB to $75 per month for 5GB.
In addition, IBackup recently launched an on-site backup software title called IBackup Personal. It has the features typically associated with traditional backup products, and you can integrate the software with the provider's online service. We tested the integration component, which was easy to set up and schedule, and it worked as advertised. The draw here is that setting up a two-tier plan, with on-site and online storage, is easy to accomplish.
IBackup has done a nice job of giving users choices. The price you pay is a higher learning curve. But if you think you need a greater diversity of service options, IBackup is a good place to safeguard your data.
Bottom Line: For those who need advanced functionality and a range of service options, and can invest some time in learning the service, iBackup is a good choice.

People in the village of Derby Line want to explore the idea of merging with the town of Derby. On Tuesday, the village approved the creation of a merger committee approved by the town last month.
In dairy circles, it's like the Red Sox winning the World Series. A cow from the northern Vermont town of Derby has won the title best female Holstein in the world.

"I was extremely impressed with how nice the new condos were. The room was extremely comfortable for our large group of 8. The view was stunning."
"We had a lovely time in this rental. The view is amazing. Furniture was comfortable. Renting a golf cart was super easy, money well spent. The only sad thing was that we went off season and some places we closed.
"Our condo was beautiful. Everyone we worked with was very helpful and kind. By far it was one of the best places I have ever stayed at while visiting the island. I highly recommend the Island Club Waterfront Condos! You won't be disappointed! "
"These condos are very nice and you can tell they are relatively new. They are beautiful inside and have plenty of room for a big group. Loved the view of the water off the back balcony. It's also nice that the facility has its own pool right outside your door. Property staff was very helpful. Lots of families with kids staying here. "
"Such an amazing stay! Will only stay here from now on when I visit PIB! On the water & your own private pool. 2 minutes from downtown but not in the heart of it which is so ideal! And the owner is so down to earth. I'd recommend this to everyone. "
"We had a wonderful time. The condo was awesome! "

Three confirms 4G roll-out will start in December
By Kate Solomon 2013-08-28T23:01:00.239Z Mobile phones
London, Birmingham and Manchester the first to get it
A visual representation of the speed of 4G
Three has got all official on its 4G plans, confirming that the network's roll-out will begin in December 2013.
If you already have a 4G handset and a Three SIM then 4G speeds won't cost you any extra - all you have to do is install a software update from the network to activate it.
Those on monthly plans with all you can eat data won't see any caps imposed on their data limits either, which sounds like a pretty sweet deal.
London, Manchester and Birmingham will be the first cities to get the 4G network, with the switch on set to "accelerate" in January bringing 4G access to over 1.5 million customers in the new year.
By the end of 2014, Three intends to have 4G coverage in 50 cities across the UK, and nearly the whole country covered by the superfast connection by the end of the following year. This is thanks to the numerical networking managing to nab some of the 800MHz spectrum to deploy 4G speeds to the rural parts of the British Isles.
Three is a fairly slow horse in the 4G race though, with EE having launched its 4G network back in October 2012, and Vodafone and O2 following suit today.
Time to ask the question: which is the best 4G network?

Jessica is a special education teacher, serving our most vulnerable students within under-resourced communities. The students with whom Jessica has been entrusted need many varied forms of instruction to prepare them for the future. Her career in education has taught her to search for best and creative practices in what works and what doesn't work within our education system. She is well prepared with a unique perspective and ability to problem solve creatively.
We can trust Jessica Florio to fully fund our schools and to bring her new ideas to Harrisburg as she works to provide system improvements. She has and will continue to fight for every student and parent of the 44th District.
The safety and well-being of our community is an extremely high priority for voters in the 44th District. This significant concern has risen from the severe uptick in violence which we have witnessed in Philadelphia, and which is pressing into our District communities.
Jessica will be an advocate for policies that keep our communities safe. She wholeheartedly supports the work of our law enforcement community. As President of Borough Council, Jessica works with her Council and Mayor to ensure that their police department and its officers have the training and resources they need to do their jobs and to keep the community safe from violence and crime. Additionally, she supports an expanded safety-net so that those suffering from a mental or substance abuse disorder can get the help they need.
Our economy continues to be rebuilt following the COVID-19 pandemic and as that progress advances, we need elected officials who understand the struggles that so many families are currently going through. As a single mother, Jessica knows what it takes to raise her daughter while working full-time and struggling to pay the bills. She has a special appreciation for the difficulties that had faced our low-income families and seniors through the pandemic and now, during the current historic inflation which has slammed these same persons.
Jessica supports a strong safety-net that ensures assistance for home energy, childcare for families and which helps seniors stay in their homes by offsetting the rising cost of rent ad property taxes.
EMS/First Responders
As President of Honey Brook Borough Council, Jessica has worked closely with the EMS and First Responder personnel that serves her town to ensure that they have the necessary and readily available resources needed to protect the families and residents of her community. In Harrisburg, we can count on Jessica to always have the backs of the men and women who keep us safe, and we can count on her to provide them with the resources needed to do their jobs.
Recent hospital closures have magnified the need for additional EMS in the surrounding communities. While our current State Senator remained silent, Jessica Florio organized surrounding municipalities to provide resources to add an additional EMS crew and to reduce vital response time.

Genetic evidence for wide distribution of the alien prawn-goby, Vanderhorstia mertensi (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Gobiidae), along the northeast Mediterranean

Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria 39(2): 153-156. https://doi.org/10.3750/AIP2009.39.2.11
Vanderhorstia mertensi Klausewitz, 1974, is a recently acknowledged alien fish in theMediterranean Sea, hitherto observed only from Fethiye Bay, Turkey. To explore its distribution, trawl bycatch from eastern Antalya and Iskenderun was examined and an underwater survey was performed off Kas (western Antalya). An established population was found off Güvercin Island, Kas, and six specimens were identified from trawl bycatch collected off Antalya and Iskenderun. The trawl-collected specimens were badly damaged and identification was made possible by the analysis of their 16S rDNA sequences. Our findings suggest that the species was only recently introduced and its population size has increased rapidly. Symbiotic relationship with alpheids (Apheidae, Crustacea) may have enhanced this prawn-goby's establishment and dispersal along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey.

Hello all, I am from Mass. I ride a 1994 FXDWG.
Love this forum, full of great resources, good advice and good people.
looking forward to being here a long time..
BTW nice avatar and signature. Have you seen Alien vs. Predator yet?
94FXDWG is a great bike, just got rid of mine.
Welcome to the forums. The only problem with this group is that the posts are so interesting, that you may spend more time here than the ole lady will tolerate.
squonk, huh? a little trick of the tail, perhaps?
Welcome to the forums RHSquonk. Hopefully we'll all be here a long time.
Junior, I am impressed. Not to many cats even know about that song or the album for that matter. Great album...1976 ( gawd I am old!). I just love how heavy that song is when it starts out. To quote the Who "meaty , beaty, big and bouncy!" I usually just get a " What the hell is a Squonk" comment though.
No I haven't...but I am dying to.
I don't even care who wins...I just love both those flics and just dig the concept.
Funny some of my buds and me have been talking about AvP for years wondering who would win.
Friends who have seen the movie say the fight scene is awesome.
Once the riding weather slows down here in Mass I will start renting movies again, but I will ride until the snowflies so it will be a while.
i am a huge genesis fan- even saw their last show (with peter gabriel) at winterland back in....well, you know....lol.
Wish I had seen that one!
As you probably have guessed, I am also a big fan...of Old Genesis. anything after Ababacab for me is too poppy. Like the prog feel.
I guess "Lamb Lies Down" and "Selling England ..." would follow close.
I basically learned to play drums with seconds out. Great live version of in the cage.
btw- (you might know this).....you know what "abacab" is right? the opening chords of the song....a, b, a....etc.
I think that was their last album worth paying for...the rest are just pop candy.
How the hell did they go from "turn it on again" to "mama"?
Did the drugs wear off or what??


You've already got the oven on for the chicken—what a perfect time to roast some veggies too! As you get more experienced, you can arrange the veggies around the chicken and cook them that way. But first-timers should cook the vegetables in a separate pan so you can tell when they're done. Feel free to add or substitute other root vegetables such as turnips or parsnips. We love pairing these with chicken, but you can also eat them cold, by themselves, or paired with pasta or rice, and even in frittatas.
Turn the oven on and set it to 425 degrees.
Put the onion, carrots, potatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper in the bowl and mix well. Dump the contents of the bowl onto the baking sheet, making sure the vegetables are in a single layer, not crowded on top of each other.
Carefully put the baking sheet in the oven and bake until the vegetables are deeply colored on the outside and tender inside, about 45 minutes.
