ACTIVE SENSING - a method by which a MIDI device detects disconnection. A message is sent to the receiver around three times per second, and if no message is received during this period, the unit assumes the MIDI connection has been broken. It then begins a routine to reestablish normal operation.
ADDITIVE SYNTHESIS - a synthesis method that builds complex waveforms by combining sine waves whose frequencies and amplitudes are independently variable.
ADSR - Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release are the four stages of an envelope that describe the shape of a sound over time. Attack represents the time the sound takes to rise from an initial value of zero to its maximum level. Decay is the time for the initial falling off to the sustain level. Sustain is the time during which it remains at this level. Release is the time it takes to move from the sustain to its final level. Release typically begins when a note is let up. In most sound generators, the time and the value reached are programmable.
AFTER TOUCH - a measurement of the force applied by a performer to the key on a controller after it has been depressed. Either polyphonic, which measures the pressure on each individual key, or monophonic, reflecting the total pressure on all keys.

Nipsey Hussle Memorial Shut Down After Bootleggers Caught Trying To Make Money
May 2, 2019	by Char Patterson	in Music	with 0 Comments
Nipsey Hussle Memorial Shut Down
Nipsey Hussle's fans and family kept his legacy going by turning the parking lot of his The Marathon store in South L.A. into a memorial for the late rapper. Now, his team is reportedly shutting it down after bootleggers were caught trying to earn a profit from fans who were paying their respects. Fans initially showed their support for Hussle by establishing a memorial in the parking lot with photos, notes, pictures and candles.
But the purpose of the memorial was ultimately lost in the crossfire as people sold apparel with Hussle's face on it and requested money for a tour of the neighborhood. Some went as far as charging fans to see the exact spot where Hussle was gunned down. His team decided to close it after realizing the lack of respect for the memorial. There's no word on if it will be replaced, but his family does plan on launching a foundation in his honor.
This isn't the first time bootleggers tried to make money off of Hussle's passing. People were caught trying to sell tickets to his celebration of life ceremony last month.
Hussle was shot and killed in the parking lot of the store on March 31.
Police have the suspect, Eric Holder, in custody.
Nipsey Hussle, Eric Holder
Hussle opened The Marathon store back in 2017 in an effort to give back to his community.

Go to the link https://appointments.uidai.gov.in/ where you will get the appointment form online.
Fill in the details .e. name, email and phone number. Please note that phone number filled here will be used further if you need to do any kind of amendment online and we would recommend to fill these details carefully. otherwise it will cause other troubles before you can get the aadhar card.
Once you fill the person details you can select the enrolment center and the date and time of the appointment online.
It is a must for you to visit one of the aadhar centers in order to register for the card irrespective of whether you obtain your form online or from an aadhar enrolment center.
Take the required documents with you to the enrolement center.
Carrying everything necessary along with you will make it easy for you to go through the process without any hassle.
At the time of registration, you need to provide identify and address proof to verify your application.
In order to prove your identity you could provide one of the 18 options listed in the website of UIDAI.
In order to prove your address they allow you to provide one of the 33 options given by them.
At the aadhar registration center the officers will take your photograph, finger prints and an iris scan.
Since these scans are unique for everyone, they are mandatory for UDAI ( Unique Identification Authority of India).
Once the process is over, you have the possibility to view the details given by you once again in order to make sure that they are correct.
Process to Apply Aadhar Card Offline.
Select your Aadhar Enrolment centre :- This is the first and foremost task one will have to go through for applying one fresh Aadhar card. Every state has a list of Aadhar enrolment centres where one will have to visit for filling up the application form for new Aadhar card. These enrolment centres collect all the information needed for the Aadhar card, from the beneficiary. One can also visit these centres for any correction of Aadhar card or any Aadhar related enquiry. One may visit the online link: https://appointments.uidai.gov.in/easearch.aspx to search all the enrolment centres of Aadhar card in India. The applicant can select the state or Union Territory, followed by respective district or city. This will show up all the Aadhar enrolment centres in your area which you need to visit for new Aadhar application. For applicants of Assam and Meghalaya, they must get in touch with the NPR centres.
After the selection of an enrolment centre, the next task is to book an appointment for fresh Aadhar card application. One may do the same online through the UIDAI website or may contact the concerned enrolment centre and take an appointment. Taking an appointment is a good idea as it will save good amount of effort and time of an applicant. One can download the application form for Aadhar through the website from the link: https://uidai.gov.in/images/aadhaar_enrolment_correction_form_version_2.1.pdf. This application format is also eligible for those who need corrections in their existing Aadhar card. The Aadhar application is totally free of cost. In addition to this, it is also not mandatory for all citizens to have a Aadhar card. However, possessing an Aadhar card is always advisable.
Provide any pre-enrolment ID is available. This will be applicable in case of correction of already existing Aadhar card. So fresh applicants should skip this section.
Fill up the NPR slip number or TIN number if available. Otherwise it may be left blank.
Enter the applicant's full name in block letters.
Select your gender in the next segment. In addition of Male and Female, the Govt. has also included the Transgender option in this segment.
Provide the age of the applicant in years. One can also provide the DOB and select whether it is verified or not.
Fill the full residential address along with PIN code.
Enter the valid e-mail address. This is very helpful for those who want to know updates on their Aadhar card through e-mail.
Provide your valid mobile number in the next section to make yourself eligible to receive SMS notifications related to Aadhar card.
Fill name of any of your legal guardian like Father, mother, husband, wife etc. along with their Aadhar no. This section is optional for adults, but is mandatory for minor applicants who age below 5 years.
Select the type of verification which one may select. There are three verification modes that can be proceeded with. One is the document based where one can simply submit the identity proof and address proof for verification.
The second one is the verification through the head of the family. Here the HOF bears the responsibility to introduce his/her family member along with relationship proof for Aadhar verification.
The third Aadhar verification process is the introducer based which may only be done in case the applicant does not have proper ID and address proof documents or a family introducer. This introducer will be selected only from the Aadhar enrolment office and must possess a valid Aadhar card.
The last segment of Aadhar application is where the applicant must put his / her signature or fingerprint.
The only fact that makes Aadhar card so important and unique is that it captures all the demographic as well as the biometric data of the card holder. So whenever the fresh applicant goes for new Aadhar application at the enrolment centre, biometrics will be recorded and will be embedded with the Aadhar no. which will be provided later on. Every enrolment centre is equipped with biometric capturing devices such as camera for clicking photograph of the applicant's front face, iris scanner for recording the retina data and the finger print scanner. Finger prints of all ten fingers are captured separately along with two irises capture of both eyes.
After all the above formalities are done, the fresh applicant will be provided with a acknowledgement slip. This slip will be a machine printer slip which will contain an Enrolment ID which is a 14 digit number. This acknowledgement slip will also contain all the details which were captured during the enrolment process. This slip is essential for claiming your Aadhar card or to make any corrections if required. In case, one needs some correction in enrolment, the same can be rectified within 96 hours of enrolment. One just needs to show the acknowledgement slip to the enrolment centre. The EID will be essential to track the status of Aadhar card online or through SMS.
After successful enrollment and getting the EID no. from the Aadhar enrolment centre, the applicant should wait for some duration till the Aadhar card is ready. However, one can always check the status of the Aadhar application which was done through the online link: https://resident.uidai.gov.in/check-aadhaar-status. Enter the EID provided along with date and time to check the latest status of your Aadhar card. In case one losses the EID which is required to track the Aadhar details, then one can visit the link: https://resident.uidai.gov.in/find-uid-eid to get it back using details of mobile number and e-mail ID.
Another mode of checking the Aadhar status is through SMS from your registered mobile number. The SMS should be sent to the number 51969 with the SMS body: "UID STATUS <14 digit EID>". In case the Aadhar no. is generated, the same will be displayed in the mobile no.
The Aadhar card is one such document which is accepted either in original or also as a downloaded e-copy. The original colour printed Aadhar card is sent to the beneficiary's address by registered post. This process generally takes up to 90 days. One may also download copy of their Aadhar card online which is equivalent and equally accepted as original. One may simply visit the link: https://eaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/ to download the soft copy of Aadhar card and print it. There is no need to take a colour print out. Black and white print on simple page is totally accepted. One must enter the EID or Aadhar no. (if known), followed by name, PIN code, and mobile number. The verification will be done through sending an OTP to the registered number. Once Aadhar card is obtained, one should check whether it needs any correction or not.
What If You Don't Receive The Aadhar Card OTP?
The OTP for Aadhar card is received in the mobile no. registered during enrollment. In someone needs any correction in the Aadhar details, the same is done by OTP verification. But there are some instances when one does not receive the OTP.
One of the main reasons for not receiving the Aadhar OTP is that the mobile no. registered while making Aadhar enrolment is incorrect. The fault might be of the operator also who might have entered wrong mobile no. Other general problems may be your SIM card is either blocked and is unable to receive SMS. Or there might be some network issues. Another reason is that the phone memory for SMS has become full and new SMS are not getting registered.
In some cases the Aadhar application might get rejected. One of the main reasons of Aadhar rejection is submission of non-proper documents. Another reason might be that the person is applying for multiple times.

America East Lacrosse
Massachusetts-Lowell Names Ed Stephenson First Head Coach
The River Hawks finally have a head coach.
By Hoya Suxa@HoyaSuxa Jul 29, 2013, 10:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Massachusetts-Lowell Names Ed Stephenson First Head Coach
161 days after announcing that it would join the America East Conference as a full Division I member (including the addition of men's lacrosse), Massachusetts-Lowell finally got around to naming a Supreme Democratic Lacrosse Dictator. The River Hawks, set to take fancy bus rides around the country with Scarface blaring from itty bitty televisions starting in the 2015 season, seemingly meandered through their coaching search, finding their man on the arbitrary timeline that the school set (July 2013), doing so after Sacred Heart and Hobart -- the only two schools at the college game's highest level that needed to fill head coaching vacancies this summer -- discovered bodies that required the filing of new W-4 payroll forms.
Anyway, to the press release!
Ed Stephenson, a native of Baltimore, Md., was named the Head Men's Lacrosse Coach at UMass Lowell, Director of Athletics Dana Skinner announced Saturday.
Stephenson, who was the associate head coach at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County the last two years, comes to UMass Lowell to restart the men's lacrosse program which was discontinued after the 1989 season. Both the men's and women's programs are slated to open in the spring of 2015.
UMass Lowell's men's lacrosse team will be the second program Stephenson will build from the grassroots. In 2001, he started the program at Binghamton University and enjoyed success within his first three years.
Stephenson will begin his position on Aug. 1.
"Recruiting is paramount, so we'll begin that process immediately," he said. "We will focus on hardworking student-athletes who will be ready to play good lacrosse and receive a good education at an affordable cost. The first year is quite a challenge for that first group of recruits, but with that challenge comes a great reward."
Stephenson starts in a tough spot: Not only is the entirety Massachusetts-Lowell's athletic department making the difficult transition to Division I, but Stephenson will guide the school's men lacrosse program through that process without the benefit of two full recruiting seasons at his disposal before the River Hawks start play. The 2012-2013 contact period comes to a close on July 31st; the 2013-2014 contact period ends on August 5th, enters its quiet period on August 6th, moves into its dead period on August 13th, and goes into a two-month contact period without lacrosse evaluations on September 1st (not to mention the fact that virtually all of the major summer recruiting events are over). Stephenson -- and whatever staff he can piece together -- needs to act quickly and efficiently, pulling together a roster of high level talent on short notice (both from the preparatory ranks and, likely, from the transfer market). As the recent crop of schools that have elevated to Division I status have shown, playing at the college game's most competitive level carries with it a level of having your face smashed in; those schools, unlike the River Hawks, suffered through that existence with lead time to put a program in place with sufficient recruiting time. Massachusetts-Lowell, contrastingly, is going into this difficult process with just enough gas in the tank to hopefully make its destination.
Stephenson has some nice bona fides, but he's entering a situation that is going to need him to bend reality in his favor.

When positive-psychology expert and author Caroline Adams Miller began parenting in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it was the height of the self-esteem movement and what Miller dubs the "everyone's a winner era." She noticed that many of her children's peers attended the kinds of ceremonies where everyone got a medal. Their schools inflated grades or threw them out the window altogether. Parents lowered expectations and went to great lengths to make children feel special, boosting mediocrity in the process. Miller describes this age group (who are now millennials) as the "bubble-wrapped generation." Why weren't these children learning about persistence, patience, and diligence?
As a long-time performance and goal-setting coach, Miller believes students need less coddling and more tools to surmount future obstacles in their own lives. In her book Getting Grit: The Evidence-Based Approach to Cultivating Passion, Perseverance, and Purpose, released this year, Miller discusses the importance of the education buzzword "grit" (defined as passion and perseverance in achieving long-term goals and popularized by psychologist Angela Duckworth) as the answer for what her children's generation—and others to follow—need.
CAM: I am talking about millennials—the primary group in the workforce. Young adults haven't launched by the age of 30 in the way that previous generations did by the age of 25.
Teachers want kids to be resilient, to have a growth mindset. They are facing an uphill battle from some parents who say, "You can't criticize my child." There's a school in New York that gives parents the opportunity to request a fake report card because kids' feelings might get hurt if you give them the real feedback about their courses.
One of the first things teachers can do is assess their own grit level, because a teacher who has grit can create a contagious environment where that is the norm. You can also discuss the character strengths of gritty people. The turning points in history are marked by figures who have what I call "Mount Rushmore grit." Those are the Martin Luther King Jrs.—people who had a passion and a calling for something that was so important to them that it didn't matter what got thrown at them. Because of that, they changed the course of history.
How can students use their strengths in productive ways to pursue the things that are important to them? Build upon what's there and positive? Teaching unsolvable problems gets kids to think outside of the box because they're so used to getting the answer right. There isn't a creative grasp of what happens if there is no right answer.
To accomplish a goal, you write that we need intrinsic motivation. What sort of motivational tools can teachers use to excite students so that they're learning for the sake of learning, not just for a test?
When I start working with clients in adulthood, I ask them the "so what?" question. When I ask them about their goals, I'll say, "If you accomplish that goal, what changes in your life that makes you better?" If we don't start asking that question early, you get into adulthood without the ability to know what the difference is between your goal and someone else assigning you a goal.
Psychologist Angela Duckworth says grit is different from conscientiousness because grit is the "emotional fire" that pushes people to achieve. Could you elaborate on the qualities of "gritty" people versus those who are merely conscientious? Can adults instill these qualities in students at a young age? What is the school's role in this?
I finished writing my book as psychologist Marcus Crede's criticism arose of grit being "old wine in a new bottle." I disagree because I know a lot of conscientious people—I'm one of them. I was not gritty though; I was conscientious in the name of getting good grades. That's checking off the boxes. The variable in grit is passion.
Conscientiousness is a head strength; it's about the ability to persevere and do what's expected of you. Conscientiousness is just not enough to hang in there through hard times. You cannot be gritty without intrinsic motivation. After I spoke about grit at a middle school in Texas, school leaders formed a grit committee to answer: How do we cultivate this quality in the student body where the norm is affluence?
The school created something called the "Stall Street Journal." In every bathroom stall, they put stories of adults all over the school: … stories of overcoming that students wouldn't have otherwise encountered. You can start to believe, in this era of Instagram and Facebook, that failure doesn't occur.
Critics say that focusing on grit in schools ignores the challenges that children living in poverty face. Some have argued that these students must take on more household responsibilities and that the adoption of additional roles at a young age is an expression of grit. Additionally, living in high-stress situations might affect a child's ability to be gritty. What is your response to that?
They're absolutely right. Those are students who are defying the odds to just show up at school. When you grow up in these high-stress environments with poverty and drug abuse and domestic abuse, students are already struggling.
I don't think teaching grit is the panacea. These are students who often have the ingredients of grit already, but they don't understand that what they're overcoming could be a potential muscle that they could use to accomplish other things later in life. That's a discussion worth having.
I think that "social-emotional learning" is a catch-all phrase. The research on "The Benefits of Frequent Positive Affect" shows that success is always preceded by emotional flourishing. You don't become happy because you succeed; you succeed because you're in your best possible emotional state. If social-emotional learning means that you are getting to the basics of the interventions that pump up your feelings of well-being, I think that's all great. It has to be part of the dialogue, though, that flourishing can and should be used toward pursing the right goals.
Social-emotional learning in and of itself is fine, but if you want to connect grit, you have to go from the flourishing to the science of goal-setting to the hardest of goals, which is what seems to bring self-esteem. That's what leads to having the ability to create a resilient mindset and to change the channel when you want to be a quitter. That's when you have to go back to the discussion of grit.

Love looks with the mind, but not with the eye… which explains Cupid's success
When Viscount Jasper Henley is caught kissing a marquess' niece in the gardens during a ball, he agrees to marry the girl. It's not the first time he's been forced to marry—he and his late wife had been caught kissing in front of the same fountain prior to his marriage proposal—but he had always intended to marry Sophie.
While on a visit to London to visit her uncle and his new wife, Marianne Slater is happy to attend the Season's entertainments—even if she can't see very well. The world is a blur unless it's close-up. Usually a wallflower at balls, Marianne is stunned when a gentleman approaches and offers to escort her in the gardens. A clear-eyed innocent kiss suddenly results in the blurry whirlwind of a quick wedding and its subsequent aftermath.
Determined to show his new bride the wonders of the ancient world as part of his next archaeological expedition—their wedding trip—Jasper will do whatever it takes to see to it Marianne can see more clearly. But as things come into focus for her, Jasper may find his own vision clouded by an unexpected revelation. Can the insights he discovers from bits of history open his eyes to future possibilities? He may prefer blindness in The Vision of a Viscountess.

Mitel ships phone call controller for virtual servers
Greg Meckbach
Mitel Networks Corp. of Ottawa has released a version of its call control software that lets companies install unified communications on servers using VMware Inc.'s (NYSE:VMW) vSphere virtualization software.
The whole point is to let users save money on hardware, electricity and cooling by running phone call control software on the same hardware as computing applications.
Virtual Mitel Communications Director is available now, and virtualized server versions of Mitel Applications Suite (MAS) and Mitel Border Gateway (MBG) will be available in two months, said Alan Zurakowski, Mitel's director of business development.
"Instead of running it on ICP 3300 it runs virtualized on vSphere," Zurakowski said, referring to Mitel's Internet Protocol Communications (ICP) private branch exchange.
It's part of a trend in which users are installing telecommunication software on to commercial off-the-shelf servers instead of purchasing PBXs or call control hardware, said Brent Kelly, senior analyst and partner at Wainhouse Research LLC of Brookline, Mass.
"Given that fact that all these call control engines are software-based anyway now, it seems to makes sense to be able to do this," Kelly said.
Virtual Mitel Communications Director will have the same features as the current version of Mitel Communications Director, Zurakowski said.
These include controlling calls using IP, media streaming, dynamic extensions, administration groups, audio conferencing, multi-node management and connecting calls between more than one Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) provider.
"It moves companies away from needing a specialty and often proprietary communications hardware in their data centre," said Grant Aitken, area vice-president of VMware Canada. "A customer now has all they need for running their telephone systems at least on the back end, by using industry-standard servers and industry standard computer networking."
Virtual Mitel Communications Director requires version 4 of vSphere on a server running Intel Corp.'s (NASDAQ:INTC) Xeon 5500 series processors with a speed of at least 2 GHz, with a minimum of two processor cores, with Intel's Nehalem technology and hyper-threading. The server requires at least 2 GB of RAM, 10 GB of disk space and 40 Megabits per second (Mbps) of throughput.
By using vSphere 4, users can run other applications on the same server, including SAP AG's business software, databases and file and print servers, Zurakowski said.
"You can run Mitel Communications Director on a virtual machine with other business applications and call quality and performance is guaranteed," he said. "We have done enough testing to guarantee that. Our competitors have not been able to achieve that."
Kelly said this is the first product available to the public he is aware of that offers these features using virtualization.
Zurakowski said Virtual Mitel Communications Director users can move between machines using VMware's VMotion technology.
"You might get a few cracks and pops like a cell phone, but the call will not be dropped."
VMotion lets companies move virtual machines from one server to another without losing the network identity or connections or access to virtual disk storage.
Kelly said the major concerns when moving IP calls among machines include latency, jitter and packet loss.
MCD lets administrations manage more than one system from one logon screen and lets companies delegate management control of specific tasks. The "dynamic extensions" refers to the ability for administrators to route calls to different devices, such as cellphone and home numbers. For example, a user could have up to eight devices, including SIP Wi-Fi clients, includes in a single identity. It also includes hot desking, meaning users can log into any Mitel IP phone and have their profile, including speed dials and line appearances, downloaded to those phones while they are logged in.
With a virtual machine version of call control, this opens the door to service providers offering unified communications, presence awareness and other telecom services from their servers using the cloud computing concept, Kelly said.
"If you look at where the market is going, there is this trend toward centralization or virtualization, moving to the cloud," Kelly said. "This cloud can be within the enterprise or with the service provider."
Kelly cited as an example a demonstration at last year's VoiceCon conference, where Siemens Enterprise Communications (SEN) of Munich announced it was running trials of its OpenScape unified communications software on Amazon.com Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AMZN) Elastic Compute Cloud.
SEN Group is 51-per-cent owned by Gores Group LLC, a Los Angeles-based private equity firm, with German electronics conglomerate Siemens AG a minority owner. It also includes products from Enterasys Networks Inc., formerly known as Cabletron.
When it announced its demonstration last March, SEN described it as a "proof of concept" of a way to deliver "pay as you go" services to telecom managers who do not want to purchase PBXs.

More than 75 residents, neighbors, and friends gathered at City Hall in Bowie, Maryland this past December to celebrate the community's seven year journey to become a Certified Community Wildlife Habitat under the National Wildlife Federation's (NWF) Garden for Wildlife program. The excitement in the room was palpable as Bowie was awarded its certification in a public presentation to Mayor Robinson and city council members. Bowie became the 95th Certified Community Wildlife Habitat in the United States and the 5th in Maryland, joining Takoma Park, Centerville, Annapolis, and Rockville.
This massive effort, initiated by Maria Parisi and led by the Bowie Gardens for Wildlife Habitat Team, resulted in the creation of over 230 wildlife-friendly gardens throughout the city. The team also organized countless events and workshops, including native plant sales sponsored by the local garden club and an annual Backyard Habitat Tour, to educate residents about the need for habitat creation and engage them in the program.
The city of Bowie itself was a crucial partner and helped to encourage community participation by facilitating the installation of a demonstration garden behind City Hall. City employees, students, and other volunteers came together to design and plant a wildlife-friendly garden that improves habitat for birds, butterflies, and other pollinators by providing the four essential elements needed by all wildlife – natural food sources, clean water, cover, and places to raise their young.

NWF's Garden for Wildlife program encourages responsible gardening that helps pollinators and other wildlife thrive by planting with native species like milkweed and discouraging chemical pesticide use. Since 1973, the program has educated and empowered more than 200,000 wildlife gardeners including individuals, schools, groups, and whole communities committed to creating and restoring habitat. The importance of this program is underscored in urban and suburban, densely populated corridors where wildlife populations are threatened by increasing development as well as climate-related vulnerabilities.

Whistler Biathlon Society awarded 2019 Nationals
Over 150 of North America's best biathletes expected to compete at Whistler Olympic Park
Megan Lalonde / Whistler Question
Some of the continent's best biathletes will descend upon Whistler Olympic Park in 2019.
Photo by Photo submitted
Although Whistler is no stranger to hosting high-level sporting events, it's been awhile since Canada's best biathletes battled for a major title at Whistler Olympic Park.
That's set to change next year, following the Whistler Biathlon Society's announcement last week that it has been selected to host the 2019 North American and Canadian Biathlon Championships. The event, tentatively scheduled for March 19 to 24, 2019, will feature the best biathletes from across the continent, including national team athletes returning from the World Cup biathlon circuit in Europe.
"It will be six years since we last had nationals, so it's going to be great to have it back," said Whistler Biathlon Society president Clayton Whitman. "That was our first time hosting Nationals post-Olympics and it went really well. It just kind of goes east to west, and there's different places that host across the country so sometimes it takes awhile to come back, but it was a good event in 2013 and biathlon has kind of grown since then, so we're hoping it's going to be even bigger this time around, especially locally."
Of the 150 to 200 athletes aged 15 and up who are expected to compete for national and continental biathlon championship titles in 2019, Whitman estimates about 20 of those will represent the Whistler Biathlon Society.
"They're pretty excited just to have it close, because it makes it easier for them to attend and less expensive," he explained. "It gives them a kind of home field advantage too, compared to going somewhere they've never skied before. A lot of people, it'll be their first time at nationals, they're pretty excited that it's going to be at home."
Hosting events like nationals is central to the society's athlete development model and further contributes to biathlon's growth in the community, Whitman added.
"Providing opportunities for local athletes to compete against athletes from across the province, and in this case from across North America, gives them competition and it really shows them a pathway that you can go from the club, to the provincial level to the national team and kind of continue on in the sport," he explained. "Its pretty central to our plan to develop athletes to get them … to training centres, to national teams, by bringing these kinds of high performance events where the younger athletes can see what the older athletes look like, and how they race and how they train, how they perform and hopefully inspire them to stay in the sport."
Other Sea to Sky athletes looking for a shot at the title will be the small group representing the Whistler Nordic Development Centre — the high-performance program, aimed for biathletes ages 18 to 21, didn't even exist last time WOP hosted nationals.
"They're the high-performance local team that we hope will do really well," Whitman explained. "They just came off a trials event at Whistler Olympic Park where a bunch of them qualified for the national junior team, so they're our local, really good athletes."
But athletes aren't the only locals needed to contribute to the event: hosting nationals requires a team of over 100 volunteers each day. While the Whistler Biathlon Society already boasts a capable and committed group of volunteers, "We're always looking and welcome more people to join us and share the load," Whitman said. While experienced volunteers will fill supervisor positions, the majority of volunteers are needed for duties like time and score keeping.
"There's no better way to take in a biathlon event than to be right there volunteering —helping, supporting the event and having a front-row seat to the athletes as they compete," Whitman added.

GURURAJ
Our Meditation Teachers
Request a Teacher
Gururaj Ananda Yogi (1932 – 1988) was born Purushottam Narsinhram Valodia in the province of Gujarat, India, on December 12, 1932 to a well-to-do business and farming family. As a child, he displayed a remarkably advanced spiritual awareness. Already by the age of three, his questions consistently concerned the meaning and purpose of life and the possibility of truly knowing God.
At the age of four, he ran away from home to seek a personal experience of communion with the Divine. He wandered from village to village for nearly six months, living off the food offerings left at temples for the gods. His frantic parents finally found him ragged and barefoot wandering through a village street. When questioned, he explained that he went to as many temples as possible, but the "gods were lifeless and would not speak to me."
Throughout the rest of his childhood and into his early teen years he lived the normal life of a boy in his culture, but continued his intense desire to experience the reality of God. He was taught various philosophies by gurus he encountered, and at the age of eight was given a spiritual practice by a monk who wandered from village to village throughout the Indian countryside. Then, driven by the fire within him, he again left home at the age of 13 or 14 to continue his search for the peace, integration, and wholeness that is inherent in the realization of the true Self.
To support himself and pay his university fees, he took a job in the film industry, at first performing such menial tasks as sweeping the floors. However, he was well-liked by those with whom he worked. As he progressively assumed more important duties, he came in contact with many influential people. At a gathering in the home of a film financier in Bombay, Gururaj met the cultured, well-educated, husband and father, Swami Pavitrananda. As Gururaj described the meeting, he looked at Swami Pavitrananda and he looked back where, "a spark of communication was set forth though not a single word was spoken." In subsequent days Gururaj returned to work and school, but the thought of Pavitrananda was constantly in the back of his mind, energizing and inspiring him.
Pavitrananda traveled from ashram to ashram, so when vacation time came, Gururaj went in search of him. Gururaj had envisioned Swami Pavitrananda welcoming him with all the warmth and love of a father for a son, but on meeting, Pavitrananda said not a word for almost two weeks. In the meantime, Gururaj performed minor housekeeping chores and errands around the ashram. Finally, Pavitrananda spoke to him: "See those papers there. Pick them up!" Only in retrospect did Gururaj understand that Pavitrananda was teaching him, metaphorically, to pick himself up.
Gururaj realized that while other teachers with whom he had studied spoke from the intellect about God, Pavitrananda was a man whose personal experience of Divinity touched Gururaj's heart and helped him fulfill his yearning to experience Divinity. During every vacation, he made the trek into the Himalyas to be with Swamiji, as he affectionately called him. This continued until Gururaj had been with him for eight months.
Suddenly one day Pavitrananda said to him, "Let's meditate." When they came out of meditation, two hours had passed, but, emerging from a state beyond time, it seemed to Gururaj as though it had only been a few minutes. Everything was covered with a golden haze. In the years we were with Gururaj, he often told his students that he continued to see everything with that golden glow which was visual proof of unity consciousness, or the consciousness of the oneness of all.
After reaching the state of self-illumination, Gururaj returned to his work and studies, though he continued to visit Pavitrananda. Residing in the state of eternal, joyful fulfillment, Gururaj felt that there was nothing the world could offer him that would bring greater happiness and satisfaction. He entertained the idea of living the reclusive life of a monk, but that was not to be. Pavitrananda told him that his dharma, the reason for which he had taken birth in this life, was to teach. He was to share the wisdom gained from the direct experience of Divinity with householders in the Western world. Pavitrananda advised him to establish himself in a Western country and immerse himself in the pains, pleasures, joys and sorrows, problems and solutions of full participation in that life. This practical experience would aid him immeasurably in his work as a spiritual teacher for those in the Western world.
In his early 20's, having completed his studies in English, commerce, and accounting, he emigrated to South Africa where he had lived with his father for three years as a child, thereby establishing rights of residency. There he started a business career. Possessing indefatigable energy and a highly refined intuition through his self-illumination, he was extremely successful as a businessman and became the director of several companies. He married, and, with great love and devotion, he and his wife raised three sons and (at the time of his death) two grandsons.
About 1974 Pavitrananda informed Gururaj that his career as a businessman must stop. Gururaj noted that it would take at least a year to bring his ventures to a close. But the "finger of Divinity" pushed him in a different direction. He had a congenital heart defect that suddenly required surgery. His worldly vocation came to an end, and he began his time as a spiritual master.
Some time later, he visited Pavitrananda whom he had not seen in over four years. Pavitrananda was not in good health, but after visiting with Gururaj for several days, he became stronger. During one conversation Pavitrananda said with what Gururaj described as "utter humility," "Don't call me your guru anymore. You are my guru." Then he added, "You have come to release me." Guruji knew that he was seeing his "father" for the last time. In 1978, while enroute to a British Meditation Society course, Gururaj received word that Swami Pavitrananda had died. But for Gururaj there was no sorrow, for he had risen to a blissful state beyond sorrow where, regardless of who comes or goes, everything is just life.
In 1975 Gururaj founded the International Foundation for Spiritual Unfoldment. He began teaching in South Africa, expanded his teaching to include England, and in 1977 was brought by devotees to America. Eventually IFSU included America, South Africa, England, Canada, Spain, Denmark, Belgium, Ireland, and Israel, and he also taught in Germany and Cyprus.
With inexhaustible energy he traveled from country to country several times each year, holding meditation retreats of about a week at a time. Often teaching far into the night, he shared the wisdom he had gained from his own experience on the spiritual path. He considered himself a Universalist and taught the essence of the teachings that underlie all the world's major religions. In the time-honored methods of the oral tradition, he would sit with us, we would ask a question, and he would answer for an hour or so, frequently intuiting the unspoken questions in our minds and answering them as well. He never prepared a talk. He spoke directly from the heart. He never insisted that we believe anything he told us. Rather, he taught us to experience the welling up of joy that comes when our meditations and spiritual practices have made us receptive to the flow of grace. Sometimes his answers would spring forth in the form of spontaneous songs or poetry, sublime and devotional one minute, humorous the next. We laughed, sang, and danced with him. We ate with him and made our impressions of Indian food for him. Some of us traveled to retreats in the other countries where IFSU held meetings, and a few of us visited him at his home in South Africa. He told us that we would no longer need the outer guru when the connection to our own inner guru was established in our hearts. But few, if any, of us truly believed that we had reached that level of internal communion when we waved goodbye to him in Canada at Easter of 1988. On May 17, 1988, we received word that he had died peacefully at home.
GURURAJ AND THE AMERICAN MEDITATION SOCIETY TODAY
Gururaj wanted people to know that he was an ordinary man. He differed from his students only in that he had walked the path to Self-realization while we are still walking it, and he could therefore serve as a guide. He made it clear that anyone could achieve what he had, and that it is our inherent right and destiny to find our own inner guru, or the direct connection to the heart.
After his passing, the leaders of AMS set out to carry on the teachings of this great spiritual master in the way he requested. He taught that to be truly effective meditation and spiritual practices must be individually prescribed and then taught by a qualified instructor. We still hold to those standards. We continue to do many of the things we enjoyed when he was with us. We hold retreats in which we meditate together, study the vast body of recorded wisdom he left, and share our own experiences. We have local meditation meetings where we cook, eat, and laugh together. We support one another when life puts us through our own difficult practices. In short, we do our best to embody the principles he taught us, to live accordingly, and share these teachings with others.

Our Classes Start at the age of 18 months. We provide a fun-filled 30-minute class which aims to develop and improve children's gross motor skills. Through movement to music, mime and imaginative play, children experience physical, social, and cognitive development; it is the perfect introduction to dance for very young children.
The roots of Imperial Classical Ballet stem from the early days of the ISTD and the first written syllabus in 1913 which was based on the teaching of the French School from the Paris Opéra. The syllabus has now evolved to promote the English classical style and address the changing needs of Ballet dancers today. We offer classes from Pre Primary up to Grade 6. The grades include classical technique, free movement and character styles of dance.
Modern is often seen on the stages of West End Musicals. This genre provides a wide range of exciting dance styles including aspects of contemporary, jazz, lyrical, blues and street dance. One of the most enjoyable aspects of this genre is the wonderful range of musical styles that can be brought into class.
Students can attain high levels of skill, by learning correct dance technique, which further complements all their other dance training.
Students can study the comprehensive ISTD syllabus, which provides a framework through progression from Primary to Advanced levels.
Tap dance is exciting, fun and is very satisfying for young children as it is possible to create a simple rhythmic routine from the first lesson onwards. The children love the sound of their noisy feet, and quickly learn to listen carefully to the rhythm and beat of the music.
We follow the recently revised ISTD Tap dance syllabus, which provides a framework for progression from Primary to Advanced levels.
The class is structured to include warm up, centre exercises, cool down and set choreographic pieces each term. We provide training incorporating aspects of Radar Technique to encourage strong jazz technique, as well as artistic style. We love to use current music from the charts and produce exciting, up to date choreography!

Hello! We've made it to the middle of the week. I'm still over here working on lots of stuff on the back end of my blog. It's always worth mentioning that the EASIEST way to shop my outfits and get any info about what I'm wearing is to go to my blog. All of the outfits I post via social media can be found HERE and don't require you to be signed up for Like To Know.It.
Instagram can be frustrating for a slew of reasons…I for one am so sick of hearing about the "algorithm" and I'm even more irritated that I rarely see the people I want to see on Instagram anymore due to the ever changing algorithm. It has really come down to me PHYSICALLY searching for accounts I love to see if they've posted anything on Instagram and so many of you have told me it's the same with my photos. Sigh. So what can we do about this?
One way to see more of my posts (or the people you love to follow), is to engage on their Instagram pages. Like and comment on their photos so that Instagram knows you want to see more of that content. Weird, but it works. Cue eye roll emoji, right? But seriously, if I haven't seen a photo in my Instagram feed of someone I really love in a while, I will manually search for their page and like and comment on a TON of their recent photos. Then BAM…they magically appear in my feed again. But let's circle back to the blog- it's always the best and easiest place to get outfit details! Speaking of, let's chat about your Top 5 from the month of August!
This ribbed cardigan was the 2nd most purchased item last month. It has a cocoon like fit and is so soft. It comes in 5 colors, is under $70 and is sure to be a staple in my closet all Fall and Winter! It runs big so order at least one size down. I ordered an XS and love the way it fits.
These sunglasses came in at #3. They're a classic cat eye and honestly, my most worn sunglasses. I get so many compliments on them when I'm out and about. You gotta love that they don't break the bank too!
This slouch pocket long sleeved t-shirt was #4. Honestly, I'm surprised it wasn't #1, I love it THAT much. I purchased it in both white and striped (in a size XS). I appreciate the soft fabric, that it covers my behind when I wear leggings, and how versatile it is. It comes in 6 colors and is at an ideal price point of $19.
My favorite grey dress came in at #5. I'll have to check but I think it was one of the favorites in July too! It's the perfect layering dress and I can't wait to add my tan moto jacket or denim jacket over it in the fall. I personally love wearing it with sneakers and flip flops but am not so patiently waiting for the day I can wear it with booties. I just ordered these and think they'll be perfect! PS- it's currently on sale for $32!


Over the past few months I have been getting Birchbox and Glossy box and I have been trying out some of the new bits I have got in my boxes, however, I always end up with a few things I haven't got round to trying and they end up in my 'new in' stash waiting to be rediscovered when I fancy something new. Its like a mini shopping spree, without spending a penny! I wanted to have a little dig through my collection of new products I haven't tried yet to see what new things I could try, as I am feeling a little underwhelmed with keep using the same things in my project pan and on my declutter mission!
I am sure my shower gels multiply on my shelf when I am not looking! I am sure I never have as many as I do, but behold, there is a good stash. I pulled out this Rituals foaming shower gel, and I have to admit, part of the attraction was the coppery orange tone of the bottle which makes me think of autumn! I love foaming shower gels, they work well, feel nice and add a little extra luxury to the shower. The scent is described as sweet orange and cedar wood, and I am excited to use this and have a little bit of something different to switch between alongside my main shower gel for my project pan!
I love testing new beauty items, but recently, other than things in my project pan, I haven't been buying a lot of make up. I feel a bit uninspired with the current collections but I have a few new bits to try and see how they work for me. I want to try the Benefit porefessional pear primer as part of my make up routine, I used to use the original porefessional and really liked the way it worked, so I am hoping the pearl version is just as nice. I have almost used up one of the other primers that I have been using and so I am on the look out for a new one to purchase soon, so this sample might turn out to be one I want to repurchase.
Two Benefit products together? Well, this one is a mascara, I always seem to have a few mascaras on the go, but I have got to a bit of a point where a few of them have got to the end of their life and I just need to replace it for hygiene reasons. I pulled this one out my drawer, and I am really excited to give it a go as I have heard such good things about it. I love getting a new mascara too, I think it is the one thing I feel like is most changeable in my make up routine as they expire and dry up quite quickly.
When I first got the Eyeko brow liner I was a bit unsure about it, the colour is medium but it just didn't seem to look like it was going to match. I have decided I just need to try it! I think the colour will look ok when I use it in my brows, however I am going to make sure to test it out in the evening one night just so I have the safety net of washing it off if the colour doesn't suit me. I have never used a felt tip brow liner before so I am looking forward to testing out something new and seeing how I get along with it.
Perfume samples are one of my favourite kinds of samples, they are a great way to properly test a perfume over a couple of days without commiting to spending around £70 a time if you get it home to find it isn't quite what you hoped it would be. I want to try the new Paco Rabanne Pure XS fragrance. The scent sounded intriguing and as soon as I got the sample at an event just over a week ago I decided I needed to try it! The scent sounds so intriguing with notes of ylang ylang, hot vanilla, sweet and salty popcorn, sandalwood, and ambrette seeds, it sounds like nothing else I have heard described before. The notes of popcorn and hot vanilla sound amazing and make me think of the carnival! I haven't yet had chance to smell this as I am saving it to wear soon, but I will report back as I think it sounds lovely!
While these aren't the newest releases in the stores at the moment I think they can sometimes get overlooked when they have been out a while and so I thought I would share with you a few of the things that are new to me, and why I was intrigued to test them out of my ever growing collection!

Brady's back and he's in great form
He showed little rust and renewed arm strength after his suspension
By Domonique Foxworth	@Foxworth24
As a former player, I have grown frustrated with the oversimplification of football analysis. So this season, I will be watching the coaches' video and analyzing the impact of all 22 players on the field and coaches' game plan.
I know why you're here: to read about the new addition to the New England Patriots offense. This week the Patriots added an exciting new running play, the "Wham." In order to deal with the Cleveland Browns' dominant defensive tackle Danny Shelton, the Patriots tried to use his aggressiveness against him. Rather than double-team Shelton with a guard and center as many teams do, on the "Wham," the Pats center and guard run past Shelton without touching him, allowing him to run into the backfield, where the fullback blocks him. If run correctly, the "Wham" can put the D-linemen at different depths, which creates holes for the running back and can cause Shelton to play more slowly as the game progresses.
Oh, yeah, and the Pats started a new quarterback this week. Tom Brady is back! Since Sunday's game, all I've heard is "he's in midseason form" and "there's no rust on him." His 406 yards, 70 percent completion rate and three touchdowns seem to support those statements. But those stats are for the Football 101 crowd. As I do every week, I dove into the coach's film to provide my fellow football nerds with some honors-level material.
Brady is as good as ever, right? As scary as it may be, for the rest of the league, the answer is no. Let's start with the negatives.
👎 Thumbs-Down
1. Rusty
There were plays where Brady was surprised by the Browns' blitz and found himself under immediate pressure, facing an unblocked defender sprinting toward him. The best example of this was a third-and-10 play in the second quarter. Brady waved for a running back, who was lined up outside like a receiver, to come in and block if one of the defensive backs blitzed. However, two D-backs blitzed. To Brady's credit, he immediately threw the ball away, avoiding a sack or turnover. The Patriots punted on the next play. The Browns deserve some credit for executing some well-disguised and effective blitzes, but those are situations that Brady is capable of exploiting.
At the 8:06 mark in the third quarter, the Browns were able to fool Brady with a blitz look. At the snap of the ball, they played man coverage, with linebacker Tank Carder dropping into an underneath zone. Brady targeted Martellus Bennett on a quick crossing route, but didn't see Carder. The ball hit Carder in the hands, but wasn't intercepted.
👍 Thumbs-Up
1. Smart
Though he was not sharp on every play, Brady outwitted the Browns' defense on more plays than he didn't. On Brady's first play, he put on a clinic. The result was just a 10-yard pass to Julian Edelman, but Brady's pre-snap manipulations and checks were impressive. Brady was under center with the running back, LeGarrette Blount, eight yards deep. There were two receivers to the left and on the right, Rob Gronkowski was next to the tackle, with Edelman in a tight split only a couple of yards away from Gronkowski. Brady puts the slot receiver in motion and learns that the Browns are in a zone defense. And because of the tight split of Edelman, the safety has to come down to the line of scrimmage to avoid getting blocked by Edelman and not getting to his run responsibility. Those two tells are enough for Brady to know the Browns are in cover 3. So, Brady audibles to a pass. Blount moves his alignment two yards closer, in order to join the protection. Then Brady snaps the ball knowing that the safety, who is at the line of scrimmage, cannot get to the flat, his pass responsibility, fast enough to defend an out route. Watching that play unfold was like watching the inner workings of an expensive watch, so precise and methodical that it was almost boring in its excellence.
2. Arm strength
It was clear that the rest served Brady's arm well, because he was throwing the ball with characteristic accuracy and uncharacteristic strength. The pinpoint accuracy may come as no surprise, but Brady threw some impressive long balls. But, the passes he threw that warranted a rewind were deep comebacks and out routes. Brady hasn't been much of an outside-the-numbers quarterback since the Randy Moss year. His top targets have been slot receivers and tight ends. But in this game he threw outside more than I was expecting. And the passes had velocity.
3. Buying time
For years Brady and the Patriots have prioritized getting the ball out quickly. That has allowed them to rely on Brady's accuracy and not their offensive line. However, this week Brady channeled his inner Ben Rothlisberger, by moving in the pocket and buying time for receivers to get open deep. Rothlisberger is a bigger guy who can take hits, but Brady is not, so I hope he doesn't make a habit of this. But against the Browns, it created a 63-yard pass to Chris Hogan. Brady employed this strategy a few times with mixed success, but fortunately he never took a big hit. If he continues, his good fortune will eventually run out.

Passion. Experience. Diligence.
Now in its third generation, S & B Motors has been a family-run, independent garage since 1965. The company was founded by Peter Boyce and William (Bill) Slevin. In 1975 Peter's son, Steve Boyce finished school and started as a trainee. Steve worked through the ranks, gaining both experience and management skills from his father and Bill.
Bill unfortunately passed away in 1986 and Steve began to share duties with his father. In 1993, upon Peter's retirement Steve became the Proprietor and expanded the business. Following in her father's footsteps, Steve's daughter Natalie joined the team in 2006. Like her father, Natalie felt there was something special about family-led businesses and upon Steve's retirement took over the business with the Manager Sean Regan.
Right from the start, the company's reputation was built on reliability and honesty rather than just price. As we are now servicing and repairing vehicles for the third generation of many of the same families, who became customers and friends all those years ago, we feel this decision was the right one.
We have an extremely low turnover of staff - our longest standing member of staff, Bruce Bellotte has been with the company for over forty years. Consequently, many of our customers have come to know our technicians and will often have the same person maintaining their vehicle for the whole time they own it. This means you get the benefit of decades of local experience and a heritage of excellence, when you need it most.

Upon joining S & B Motors in 2006 I began working in the office which enabled me to develop and enhance my communication skills. I have educated myself on the foundations of mechanical engineering and have broaden my skill set to include basic mechanics, this has enabled me to help out on the shop floor as and when is required. Our 51 years of trading have allowed us to build up very strong relationships with both our suppliers and our customers and I take personal responsibility with maintaining this and building on it.
Sean Regan
Sean is also a fully qualified and skilled mechanic which allows him to help out on the shop floor as and when required. Sean's meticulous nature has earned him the reputation as the fixer with our problematic jobs. Sean has consistently been aware of his own personal development and strives to seek improvement. In 2012 Sean became a nominated MOT Tester for Class 4 and Class 7 vehicles this involved a course and practical test where much of the revision was done in his own time. Sean has also trained himself to a high standard with our diagnostic equipment..
