The Albums That Changed Mac Miller's Life
Credit: Rachael Wright
In the current issue of Q, Mac Miller talks about the records that shaped him, recounting how hearing Outkast's Aquemini aged 12 changed how he thought about music and explaining why Radiohead's In Rainbows made him reconsider how his own records should sound. After the rapper's tragic death last week, here is Miller's Albums That Changed My Life published online in full.
Aquemini (1998, LaFace)
"That's the bar for me, it's my guiding light. I heard it when I was super-young, maybe 10 or 12. My brother had it and the cover was just so unbelievable that I grabbed it. I remember locking myself in my grandma's guest room and listening to it on repeat all day. Being that young, and having an idea of what I thought music should be, then hearing Aquemini completely shifted things. It's a whole, complete album, not just a collection of songs. Hold On, Be Strong is such an incredible opening track. It makes me feel like I'm in water, which is my favourite feeling."
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963, Columbia)
"My dad was a big Bob Dylan fan – he'd come into me and my brothers' room with a guitar and play his songs. I've loved this album ever since I was young. When I was a kid, I did a lot of sitting in my room and listening to music, dealing with the world and my perspective of it. Don't Think Twice, It's All Right, A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall and especially Girl From The North Country – I was obsessed with that song. It all helped me see that you didn't need a whole lot of things to make an impact. Sometimes you just need a guy and a guitar speaking his own truths."
Bitches Brew (1970, Columbia)
"I knew about Kind Of Blue when I was younger, because I used to play Blue In Green on the piano all the time. But I never dived into Bitches Brew until I was living at The Sanctuary, which is a crib I had. You put it on and it feels like you're in the room with everyone – it sounds like they're sitting right next to you. There's a free movement to it, a lack of rules, which is so beautiful. You sometimes get in a place where you start thinking too much what song you're making, and then you listen to this and think, 'OK, I can go wherever I want to go.'"
Baduizm (1997, KedAr/UNIVERSAL)
"I don't like the whole business of going, 'This era was best', cos there's amazing music in every single decade. But there's certain records that definitely shaped me in my younger years, and this is one. Some of my favourite music is music that can quiet my mind. That's a tough thing to do. But the first time I heard this, I was immediately at peace. I've used it to go to sleep so many times – this shit tucks you in. And by the way, if an album can make me sleep, that's top tier for me. Her voice is like nothing else – it doesn't sound human. It sounds like elevated understanding."
John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band (1970, Apple)
"I only listened to the whole album for the first time last year and it fucked me up. Just the rawness of it, the pure emotion of songs like Mother and Isolation. It's another album that shows you don't need a lot. He's not the greatest piano player in the world, but he hits you in a way that you don't expect. That's inspiring. I know there are people that are way, way better at the piano than me, but there's something special about what you do, yourself, with your own hands. It's one of those albums you want to listen to from front to back, no interruptions."
Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous (1995, Columbia)
"He was a rapper from New York [who died in 1999, aged 24], and when I was 15, that's who I wanted to sound like. I was matching his cadences, trying to be like him – a super-grimy underground rapper. I thought I was so cool, cos I was up on some shit that no one else my age was up on. Put It On was the big hit and Jay-Z was on Da Graveyard, but Let 'Em Have It L used to be my ringtone. Dude, I was obsessed. I actually started the very first Big L Facebook fan page. I think it's still up and running today. I had to give up my administrator's rights, though."
I'm Still In Love With You (1972, HI)
"Al Green has the greatest voice ever, no question. If I could sound like anyone else on the planet, it would be him. But the textures on this record have such an identity, too – as soon as you hear the textures of the drums and the organ and the guitar, you know it's an Al Green record immediately. You can touch it, it's beautiful. I'm Glad You're Mine is my favourite song on the record – the melody and the strings are unreal. It makes you feel like the world is a beautiful place. Every time I put it on, I'm happier. You need a record like that to feel better about the world."
In Rainbows (2007, self-released/XL)
"It's a joint that my friends told me to listen to, and it completely changed my whole view of how I wanted things to sound. The guitar sounds on Weird Fishes and Reckoner are so watery, in a great way. It sounds like a band met up, pressed 'record' and just played the whole thing in one take. I've never met them, but my mom has. We were both playing at the Bonnaroo festival. She saw Thom Yorke in the elevator. He must have liked her, cos he introduced her to the rest of Radiohead. She had no idea who they were: 'Are you guys playing Bonnaroo? So is my son.'"

Data Protection by design and by default are new principles defined in article 25 of the new data protection regulation (GDPR). Even though they are now explicitly referred to in the GDPR, they are the consequences of the application of the other data protection principles and were already implied by the data protection directive 95/46/EC.
Who is concerned by data protection by design and by default?
Data protection by design and by default principles concerns both data controller and producers of products and services using personal data. Under these principles they should take into account the data protection principles when designing their new products and services or implementing new data processing activities.
However, the GDPR have limited the obligation of producers since they are only encourage to take privacy principles into account when designing their products and services. Therefore the principles are actually applicable to data controllers only (see recital 78).
Data protection by design principle explicitly requires that data controllers implement appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to implement data protection principles in an effective manner and to integrate the necessary safeguards into the processing in order to meet the requirements of the GDPR.
These measures must be implemented both at the time of the determination of the means of processing and at the time of the processing itself.
This principle applies to the amount of data used for each purpose, the extent of the their use, the retention period of data and their accessibility (i.e. management of access).
The difference between data protection by design and by default principles is unclear. Both principles are aimed at implementing organisational and technical measures and it seems privacy by default is a subsection of the privacy by design principle as the former concerns specific data protection principles while the latter covers all of them.
However, data protection by design principle is applicable at the outset while the data protection by default may be the consequences of the decision taken when the data processing activities were designed and implemented.
In practice, making a difference between both principles is not really relevant when it comes to ensuring compliance with the GDPR.
Implementing these two principles means that a data controller must put in place organisational and technical measures aimed at ensuring its data processing activities are compliant with data protection principles from the outset until the end of the processing.
It should also keep a record of the decisions taken for each data processing in terms of purposes, amount of data processed, data retention period etc. (see here for more details about the register) and carries out a data protection impact assessment where necessary in order to keep an history of what measure has been taken for specific data processing (see here for more details).

Q: Does GCC merge files compiled together? Let's say that you have prog.c that includes lib.h, whose functions are defined in lib.c, and you build the program with ̀gcc -O3 lib.c prog.c.
Does GCC merge both source files before compiling them?
Is GCC able to inline short functions of lib.c into the resulting binary?
Summary of answers
This does the trick: gcc -flto -O3 lib.c prog.c.
Both source files are still compiled individually, but the linker is able to inline functions from one file into the other one.

A:
Does GCC merge both source files before compiling them?

No, it doesn't

Is GCC able to inline short functions of lib.c into the resulting binary?

Yes, at advanced optimization level. Look at Whole Program Optimization, Link Time Optimization and similar options

Alan's story: How the Scheme has changed my life
Alan, Scheme customer and ex-armed forces, tells us how the Scheme has changed his life."It has given me the freedom to continue with my recovery both physically and mentally." It's allowed him the opportunity to choose a car that's comfortable for both himself and his family, and has enabled him to continue his passion for golf, archery and travel. Alan's wife, Julie says that the Scheme has given Alan a lot of freedom, "It's like his safety net. He's been able to go places on his own and visit places that he wouldn't have been able to go to before".
"Funny, happy and exciting" are the three words that Julie uses to describe the Scheme and the impact that having a car has made to Alan's life.

Steve has been a Motability Scheme customer for 10 years and in this video, he shares with us how the Motability Scheme has given him the freedom of independence.

Eastern: Military couple exchanges vows
by Lainey Millen January 3, 2014 September 2, 2021
Fayetteville Observer video still, YouTube: youtu.be/_6cuQxp8hTI
FORT BRAGG, N.C. — On Dec. 22, 2013, The Associated Press reported that Maj. Daniel Toven, 44, and Johnathan Taylor, 24, were married in the base's Main Post Chapel. It is believed to be the first same-sex ceremony held on the base since the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in 2011.
Fort Bragg is home to the Army's 82nd Airborne Division and the Green Berets and is opening up its chapel for same-sex ceremonies.
The couple welcomed over 100 friends and family members to the ceremony. They had previously held a legal marriage in Washington, D.C., in August 2013.
Toven serves as commander and conductor of the Army Ground Forces Band and Taylor is a registered nurse at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center and is pursuing his pre-medical studies at Methodist University and Fayetteville Technical Community College.
Toven told the AP, "For me, it was my hope that someday before I retired that I might see the repeal of 'don't ask, don't tell,' … This? I never imagined in a million years. It's a dream come true."
The news service also reported that there were some military family who attended the ceremony and that there was no opposition to the ceremony from post officials and chaplains. Included among guests were Lt. Col. Heather Mack, along with her wife, Ashley Broadway. Broadway made news in early 2013 when she tried to apply for membership to the Officers' Spouses Club but was barred. Additionally, Staff Sgt. Donna Johnson who became the first military same-sex war widow upon the death of Staff Sgt. Tracy Johnson in Afghanistan in 2012, was there as well.

Brad: Hello everyone. It's Brad and Robert again with our Clarity Clip of the Week. We're still out here in DC because we brought a client up here to kind of understand the language of this city because we all know this city has its own language in congress and audience speak and everything else. And we brought him up here to talk a little bit about what Robert? They're a medical company.
Robert: Well, their message to congress and how they could be affected by the regulatory environment. Once we had a brainstorming with them, we realized from our political experience that one line in a healthcare bill could wipe out their business model and they did not know that.
Brad: And they wouldn't even know it, right? When you know it, when something like that happens in particular business categories, it's too late.
Robert: So it's sort of an example of what we do. We're way more than content and social media. We kind of take a deep dive into your business.
Robert: So we have a term called "audience speak" of understanding the audience language that is spoken. So you saw there's a different language in this city.
Brad: Yeah. Let me tell you what. We've met with four, five firms up here, some of the top lobbyists in DC. Some of the movers and shakers if you will, that old school terminology, and there's so many acronyms up here that I had to stop and ask Robert because he spent some time up here and knows what all this stuff mean.
Brad: And I was learning their audience speak.
Brad: I was learning their language and it's – and just in communication, basic communication up here.
Robert: And we were trying to teach our client that you have to talk a different way in this city.
Brad: Well, unfortunately that's just the way it is.
Robert: So if you need help trying to navigate this place with your message, that's something we do.
Brad: Yeah, we can definitely help you guys with that, especially when it comes to getting people involved that know this business, if you will, and know this language, so that you don't have to.
Robert and Brad: That's our Clarity Clip.


The ten lepers who came out to meet Jesus and His disciples that day kept their distance. According to the law, they had to. But they certainly didn't keep quiet. For these men, their only hope was Jesus and His mercy. They had no doubt heard stories of others being healed of all kinds of diseases, and there was the miracle healer, within shouting distance. "And they lifted up their voices and said, 'Jesus, Master, have mercy on us'" (Luke 17:13). They were not asking for what they deserved, they were pleading for mercy. Mercy is not simply the withholding of punishment, but it is the act of giving help or having compassion on someone who is afflicted.
Jesus did have mercy and He did heal them, but not in the way they thought He would. He didn't lay His hands on them and say, "You are healed." Instead He told them to go and show themselves to the priest. You see, the Old Testament law required that a person who thought he was healed of leprosy go to the priest for inspection and proclamation that he was indeed healed.
No healing words were spoken, yet the lepers apparently understood that, when Jesus said "go to the priest," it implied that they would be healed. Imagine what this must have looked like--ten men dressed in rages and covered with sores; Jesus tells them to go and show themselves to the priest; and away they go, still dressed in rags and still covered with sores.
Sometimes believers hope God will give them faith to obey, when the fact is that faith is expressed as we obey. "And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him" (Hebrews 5:9.) Obey first, and then watch your faith grow.

It has been quite a tough past few weeks for Bitfinex. The exchange has suffered a lot of negative press around its involvement with Tether. This came on the heels of Bitfinex officially exiting the US market because of the termination of their banking licences.
There were also complaints by a number of clients who suffered losses as a result of a flash crash on a number of alt coins.
Now, it seems as if they are also facing the heat from online attackers. On the 12th of December, Bitfinex was hit by a large Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack.
This attack was so large that it took down most of the services on Bitfinex. This, of course, did not happen at the best time as traders were trying to take advantage of large price swings.
What is no doubt clear is how large the attack actually was. In a tweet issued by Bitfinex to update on the attack, they claimed that the attack had also taken down their Application Programming Interface (API).
We are currently under heavy DDOS. API is also down. We are working on further mitigation.
Apart from seding a large number of requests on the platform, the attackers were also able to immobolize the exchange by creating hundreds of thousands of "fake accounts" which clogged up the system for new clients.
In order to lessen the effect of these, Bitfinex had to temporarily disable new account creation capability.
Bitfinex has been suffering from a range of DDOS attacks this month already. Just last week on the 7th of December, they released the following tweet that covered the extent of the attacks that occured over the week.
Bitfinex has been under significant denial-of-service attack for the past several days. The attack has recently worsened. Please monitor https://t.co/u3pYCWdhHY for ongoing updates.
While many may think that cyber criminals may be the perpetrators behind this attack, this is less than likely. Given that the attack was attempting to bring down Bitfinex's trading platform, it could have been perpetrated by a competitor.
Bitfinex is known as one of the largest online cryptocurrency trading platforms. It would therefore make sense for competitors who wanted to bring down the Exchange.
There are also some who will claim that it may be a result of nefarious actions by those in the company. There were similar accusations that were raised when Bitfinex suffered a $71m hack last year. This was the hack that of course caused the issues with Tether.

Find out more about the six Museum of the Year finalists with our weekly Q&As. This time, the Sainsbury Centre in Norwich talks hippos, helicopters and Henry Moore.
Describe yourself in three words: World art locally.
What's new with you? I've been through so many changes in the last year it's difficult to sum up! My newly refurbished temporary exhibition spaces opened in September 2013 – they are the largest in the east of England. The Robert and Lisa Sainsbury Collection has also been redisplayed and is now all on one floor for the first time. And a real highlight was when I was granted Grade II listed status by English Heritage.
What is your most treasured possession? Henry Moore's beautiful stone sculpture Mother and Child was one of Sir Robert Sainsbury's early purchases, and stands as an icon of the collection at the heart of the Living Area gallery. It represents something of the personal story of my founders, the Sainsburys, who were friends with Moore, as well as many of the other artists in my collection.
Who was your most famous visitor? Norman Foster, my architect, drops by in his helicopter sometimes!
Is there a museum/gallery pet? A 3,000-year-old ceramic hippopotamus from Egypt! There are also hundreds of rabbits on the University of East Anglia campus, and wildlife on the broad (lake).
I shouldn't leave without experiencing... The breathtaking view over the Living Area from my upstairs walkway.
You have a museum crush on... The Kimbell Art Museum, in Texas, United States.
You're most happy when… I'm welcoming visitors for a new exhibition or event.
What do you most like about your appearance? How fresh and modern I still look, 36 years after opening.
And dislike? There are a lot of windows to clean!
This year you're excited about... So many things! The Museum of the Year nomination, collaborations with museums in Brighton and France, a really packed exhibition schedule, working with students and academics from the University of East Anglia – and I'm always excited to introduce new visitors to my permanent collections.
If I was named Museum of the Year I would... be very happy! I have so many exciting ideas on how I would follow up from the award. For example, I'd like to create a new scholarship for students and enhance my outreach and education work, and so much more.

Anyone abused by a priest or other Stockton Catholic diocese employee and who wants to sue has less than a month to file a claim as part of a bankruptcy deadline established for the religious organization that claims abuse settlements and judgments have emptied church coffers.
A priest abuse survivor's group held a news conference Wednesday outside the Stockton diocese headquarters to draw attention to the Aug. 15 deadline and push the diocese to increase public outreach of the upcoming date.
The Stockton diocese, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January, is the 10th Catholic diocese across the country to file for such protections. The Stockton diocese has already paid out $14 million over the past two decades to settle abuse cases, and the diocese in May established a phone hotline for additional abuse victims to call for information on claims.
Attorney James Stang, whose law firm has been hired to man the hotline, said he's received about 10 calls, meaning the organization could be hit with additional claims.
Victim advocates are disappointed the diocese's bankruptcy filing will likely limit monetary payments and perhaps leave some victims out if they miss the pending deadline.
"After that deadline, it may be impossible for compensation for damages regarding child sexual abuse," said Melanie Sakoda, the East Bay director of Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. "(The diocese) contributed to the problem. There wouldn't have been so many victims if they acted responsibly in the first place."
Stockton diocese Bishop Stephen Blaire, in a letter to parishioners announcing the bankruptcy filing in January, wrote: "Very simply, we are in this situation because of those priests in our diocese who perpetrated grave, evil acts of child sexual abuse. We can never forget that these evil acts, not the victims of the abuse, are responsible for the financial difficulties we now face."
In the bankruptcy filing, the diocese claimed to owe more than $2 million in debts, including a $500,000 victim settlement. It points to four pending abuse lawsuits involving three John Does and a Jane Doe as the impetus for filing bankruptcy.
"We believe that filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection is the only way the Diocese of Stockton can continue the ministries and support it offers to Catholic parishes and communities, and fulfill the responsibilities it has to victims of sexual abuse, particularly those who have not yet had their day in court," Blaire wrote in January.
Included in the bankruptcy court documents was a list of 11 confirmed clergy abusers who served across the diocese, including at St. Bernard's Parish in Tracy.
"To some victims, particularly the young ones, it was just Father Michael or Father Pat, but they don't know the priest's full name," Stang said of the reason the priest's full names and assignments were provided.
The abuse does not have to be limited to the 11 listed priests. At Wednesday's news conference, the survivor's group handed out a list of six other priests convicted, arrested or accused of abuse who spent time within the Stockton diocese.
The advocacy group had concerns because the phone hotline was not operational from June 25 to July 7 as Stang's office changed phone systems. However, Stang said Wednesday the phone line tracks caller phone numbers, and no one called the Stockton diocese hotline during those two weeks.
The attorney said he personally returns calls and provides information to the callers on how to file a claim, and claimants then join a committee consisting of abuse victims. After the deadline passes, a pot of money will be negotiated, and based on the total number of claims, a protocol will be devised on how the money will be disbursed, Stang said.
The Stockton diocese has said it published newspaper advertisements, shared the claim information in church newsletters and conducted other outreach to alert parishioners of the upcoming deadline.
In addition to Stockton, these Catholic diocese have declared bankruptcy because of sexual abuse liabilities, according to The Wall Street Journal: Milwaukee; San Diego; Spokane, Washington; Davenport, Iowa; Portland, Oregon; Tucson, Arizona; Fairbanks, Alaska; Wilmington, Delaware; and Gallup, New Mexico; as well as the Christian Brothers Institute, which operates Catholic schools and orphanages.

Abuse claims are not limited to these 11 priests.


Wariness in Moscow and European capitals increases, and Senate Democrats signal no need to race ahead.
Four months after taking office, Bush officials have found it far more difficult than they had anticipated to generate foreign enthusiasm for one of their top geopolitical priorities - missile defense.
If anything, wariness about the costs and arms-control side effects of new missile-defense systems has increased in Moscow and allied European capitals in recent weeks, despite the dozens of meetings and thousands of frequent-flier miles racked up by US envoys.
Things aren't going much better back in Washington, defensively speaking. Newly empowered Senate Democrats are signaling that they see no need to race ahead and begin to deploy systems before the end of President Bush's current term.
The bottom line: The Bush team's early insistence that it would erect a missile shield whether other nations approved or not appears to be increasingly in question.
"There was this brief window the administration had when they had successfully convinced the world that missile defense was inevitable," says Joseph Cirincione, a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington. "That bubble appears to have burst."
The sharpest and most recent pin to prick the administration's dreams of defense was wielded by NATO allies at a meeting of the North Atlantic Council in Budapest, Hungary, last week.
Despite intensive diplomacy, Secretary of State Colin Powell failed to win allied endorsement of a common intention to move away from the 1972 Antiballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty and toward a strategy based on missile-defense systems. Allies refused to join the US in saying that missiles fired by rogue states or by accident from big powers are currently a worldwide threat.
Secretary Powell was sanguine about the setback, saying that eventually allies would realize that the threat from Iraq, North Korea, and others is immediate and clear. "It will take us time to persuade everybody of that proposition, but I'm sure we will be successful at the end of the day," he said.
Others were not so sure. The administration has been lobbying its friends on missile defense virtually without ceasing for months, they point out. Mr. Bush himself has buttonholed every NATO visitor to the Oval Office on the subject, and he outlined his vision for a new world of defense-based deterrence in a lengthy May 1 speech.
"Yet at their first opportunity in a public forum, the allies essentially rejected the Bush administration approach," says Stephen Young, senior analyst in the Global Security Program at the Union of Concerned Scientists in Washington.
To some extent, NATO's less-than-warm reception was a comment on the state of US-Russia dialogue as much as a judgment on the abstract appeal of the missile-defense concept.
If Moscow would agree with Washington to move away from ABM pact limits and toward some sort of brave new defense world, Europe would undoubtedly salute and follow along, note analysts.
Toward that end, the administration has been trying to figure out what combination of the geopolitical equivalent of jewelry and flowers might persuade Russia to follow the US lead.
Bush has already indicated that the US is willing to move toward much smaller nuclear arsenals - something Moscow has long pushed for - in a defense-dominated world. The administration is also reportedly considering an offer of aid, joint exercises, and arms purchases to try to get Russia to agree to scrap the ABM pact.
The problem is, Russia has already publicly rejected this package, even before Bush has a chance to proffer it at his June 16 meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Slovenia.
"If such proposals come - we have not yet received them - I am sure they will not solve the ABM issue," said Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov last week.
Yet behind this rhetoric may still be opportunity for the Bush administration, say some experts. A deal with Moscow is far from impossible, they say.
Ironically, the Democratic takeover of the Senate might make such a bargain somewhat more likely. With pro-ABM Treaty Democrats holding at least one of the nation's purse strings, Moscow can rest assured that for the moment it is next to impossible for Bush to press ahead with unilateral missile-defense deployment.
Russia's central concern is that any defenses be limited enough in scope to ensure that its own offensive nuclear weapons are not rendered impotent. Whether that requires a new treaty structure to replace the ABM pact, or revisions to ABM, or some sort of handshake agreement, remains to be seen, says Mr. Cirincione of Carnegie.
In any case, the administration will likely have to start filling in the blanks of its still-undefined plan before Russia begins sounding more interested, he says.
"There's a deal there that can be struck," says Cirincione, "but it's not going to be easy."

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA, September 20, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ — Love 2 Learn proudly announces Destination Exploration, a community based program designed to nurture the development of language and social skills for children between the ages of 3 and 7.
Destination Exploration launched in the summer of 2016 with 8 learners for 8 days. It is an experience that leaves Love 2 Learn's staff fulfilled, their clients making massive gains, and their families in awe of the community they are surrounded by. Three years later, Love 2 Learn has 42 children enjoying Destination Exploration throughout the year.
In Destination Exploration, families utilize the OCTA access bus which offers a door to door rides anywhere in Orange County for a small fee. Love 2 Learn often has parents, siblings, and even grandparents ride along. Some of their more memorable experiences includes visits to The Shea Riding Center, California Pizza Kitchen, Caporia, Sawdust Art Festival, OC Circus Trix, OC Fair, Fountain Valley Skate, Atlantis Park, John's Incredible Pizza, Discovery Cube, Boomers, Crown Valley Park, and Santa Ana River Lakes.
"Clinically, we often talk about the 'Natural Environment,' but then Behavior Analysis programs traditionally require children to be at home after school while all the other children are out doing fun activities. Destination Exploration creates a rich and dynamic backdrop for Behavior Analysis to happen within. It provides the enrichment, culture, community, and availability to peers and varying clinical eyes all at once. I would propose that this is one of our children's true 'Natural Environments,'" said Renee Suss Keisman, CEO of Love 2 Learn Consulting while speaking about the impact of the program.
Love 2 Learn Consulting is an award winning agency that provides high quality Education, Behavior Analysis, Speech and Occupational Therapy. We serve a diverse population of families including those with special needs. Love 2 Learn is known for being a place filled with warmth, innovation and specialists.

Apollo Pilot
The Memoir of Astronaut Donn Eisele
Donn Eisele
Edited and with a foreword by Francis French
Afterword by Susie Eisele Black
Historical overview by Amy Shira Teitel
Outward Odyssey: A People's History of Spaceflight Series
In October 1968 Donn Eisele flew with fellow astronauts Walt Cunningham and Wally Schirra into Earth orbit in Apollo 7. The first manned mission in the Apollo program and the first manned flight after a fire during a launch pad test killed three astronauts in early 1967, Apollo 7 helped restart NASA's manned-spaceflight program.
Known to many as a goofy, lighthearted prankster, Eisele worked his way from the U.S. Naval Academy to test pilot school and then into the select ranks of America's prestigious astronaut corps. He was originally on the crew of Apollo 1 before being replaced due to injury. After that crew died in a horrific fire, Eisele was on the crew selected to return Americans to space. Despite the success of Apollo 7, Eisele never flew in space again, as divorce and a testy crew commander led to the three astronauts being labeled as troublemakers.
Unbeknownst to everyone, after his retirement as a technical assistant for manned spaceflight at NASA's Langley Research Center in 1972, Eisele wrote in detail about his years in the air force and his time in the Apollo program. Long after his death, Francis French discovered Eisele's unpublished memoir, and Susie Eisele Black (Donn's widow) allowed French access to her late husband's NASA files and personal effects. Readers can now experience an Apollo story they assumed would never be written as well as the story behind its discovery.
Purchase the audio edition.
Donn Eisele (1930–87) flew the Apollo 7 spacecraft in 1968 and served as backup command module pilot for the Apollo 10 moon mission. After retiring from the air force and the space program, he became director of the U.S. Peace Corps in Thailand. Francis French is the director of education at the San Diego Air and Space Museum and the coauthor of Into That Silent Sea: Trailblazers of the Space Era, 1961–1965 (Nebraska, 2007). Susie Eisele Black (1939–2014) was the widow of astronaut Donn Eisele.
"A posthumous memoir gives an unsung astronaut his due."—Kirkus
"[Donn Eisele was] a sharp-eyed witness to space history, to the darker side of Apollo, and we are lucky to have his memories."—Michael Cassutt, coauthor of Deke! and We Have Capture
"Raw, unvarnished, and edgy, this is Eisele, unplugged. His highly personal account is both sweet and sour but, ultimately, one hell of a unique and fascinating read."—Richard Jurek, coauthor of Marketing the Moon: The Selling of the Apollo Lunar Program
"At long last, the enigmatic Donn Eisele tells his story. Eisele holds nothing back in his memoirs discussing 1960s-era NASA and his historic Apollo 7 mission. His blunt reminiscences make other Apollo astronaut autobiographies look like kids' books. His memoirs illuminate his frustrations with astronaut life, his unique, often quirky sense of humor, and his thrill at the view from Earth's orbit. Like it or not, Eisele tells it like it is—his long-silenced voice is finally brought to vivid life."—Emily Carney, space historian
"Apollo Pilot is a lost treasure of the golden age of space exploration, a critical and controversial time that people talk about, but that no one has ever heard like this. This first-person account of Apollo 7's Donn Eisele is a vital missing piece of the history of NASA's journey to the moon."—David Hitt, coauthor of Homesteading Space: The Skylab Story
"I came away astounded, frankly, by [Donn Eisele's] brutally honest depiction of life in the heyday of NASA. I felt like I was there with Eisele, only a step or two behind him during the colorful phases of selection, training, and flight operations that marked his time as an Apollo 7 crewmember."—Jay Gallentine, space historian and award-winning author of Infinity Beckoned: Adventuring Through the Inner Solar System, 1969–1989

Now That We've Seen ARKit, Which Games Will Drive It?
Now That We've Seen ARKit, Which Games Will Drive It?
Apple's long-awaited iOS 11 has been out for a couple weeks now, and that means users everywhere have had the chance to download and familiarize themselves with it. Included in the new operating system is ARKit compatibility. This is basically a behind-the-scenes program that exists to help developers make augmented reality apps. Think Pokémon GO, but with more sophisticated designs and more convincing effects.
The phones were already capable of combing camera and screen usage to bring about AR. But with iOS 11 the development became much easier, and there are now entire categories of AR apps emerging for Apple devices.
We've now seen iOS 11 and some of the early effects of ARKit. There are a few pretty exciting augmented reality games already, and more importantly, the apps that are already out can help us to better imagine what might be around the corner. Therefore, it feels like the right time to speculate a little bit about which games will drive this new and exciting medium.
Projecting large characters, settings, and events is still a little bit awkward in AR. But projecting small ones is a lot of fun, and can definitely add a new dimension to a game (quite literally). Before iOS 11 even came out, we learned that a game called Gladiator Heroes – which already existed on mobile platforms – would be among the first to add AR features.
The game now makes it look as if a sort of arena has appeared on whatever surface you're using, and you can control gladiators fighting in 3D on that surface. It's a very cool early example of a concept that could envelop a lot of games moving forward. From tower defense to tabletop strategy, to RPGs and fighting games, there are a lot of titles that could work like this.
This is perhaps the busiest category in AR gaming right off the bat. Some puzzles (such as Stack AR) involve an element of action, as you control moving pieces and try to maintain a creation as long as possible. Others are more about geometry and the gradual manipulation of environments. This genre will go as far as developers' creativity stretches, and may ultimately the deepest and most versatile space in mobile-based AR gaming.
Where can you take technology now that it fits in your pocket? This was a question that was actually posted in an article about virtual reality as the future of casino gaming. It's a form of gaming that's always striving for new and realistic qualities, and AR fits in naturally with that ongoing effort.
With AR as it now exists, we can imagine the projection of poker and blackjack tables, slot machines, roulette wheels, and more. In fact, we can even envision small, full casinos appearing on surfaces, such that players could explore them and then zoom in particular games they're interested in.
Almost a decade ago the idea of augmented reality shooters emerged, and people tried early versions of the games on their smartphones. It was in 2009 that just such a game by the company Shadowforce was referred to as a very early indicator of how AR might revolutionize gameplay.
There will be additional genres that make it in AR, and some are already starting to trickle out. But based on the early apps we're seeing in iOS 11, these look to be the ones that will get out in front.

Syrian Troops Advance in Northwest Amid Intense Bombardment
admin August 15, 2019 General
BEIRUT - Syrian forces gained more ground from insurgents in the country's northwest on Thursday, edging closer to a major rebel-held town a day after militants shot down a government warplane in the area.
The government offensive, which intensified last week, has displaced nearly 100,000 people over the past four days, according to the Syrian Response Coordination Group, a relief group active in northwestern Syria.
Syrian troops have been on the offensive in Idlib and its surroundings, the last major rebel stronghold in Syria, since April 30. The region is home to some 3 million people, many of them displaced in other battles around the war-torn country.
The fighting over the past days has been concentrated on two fronts as government forces march toward the town of Khan Sheikhoun from the east and west. The latest offensive also aims to besiege rebel-held towns and villages in northern parts of Hama province, according to opposition activists.
The town of Khan Sheikhoun is a stronghold of al-Qaida-linked Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the most powerful group in the rebel-held areas. The town was the scene of a chemical attack on April 4, 2017 that killed 89 people.
At the time, the United States, Britain and France pointed a finger at the Syrian government, saying their experts had found that nerve agents were used in the attack. Days later, the U.S. fired 59 U.S. Tomahawk missiles at the Shayrat Air Base in central Syria, saying the attack on Khan Sheikhoun was launched from the base.
The Syrian government and its Russian allies denied there was a chemical attack.
The government-controlled Syrian Central Military Media said Thursday that pro-government fighters captured three small villages, just west of Khan Sheikhoun.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitoring group, said the villages fell in the morning hours and that the town of Khan Sheikhoun is being bombarded relentlessly.
Syrian state media confirmed insurgents had downed the government plane on Wednesday. An al-Qaida-linked group has released a video of the pilot in which the handcuffed man identified himself as a lieutenant colonel in the Syrian air force.
In the video, the pilot says his fighter jet was shot down when he was carrying out a mission near Khan Sheikhoun.

Switzerland Blacklists 65 Websites from Foreign Operators
When the new Gambling laws were published in Switzerland effective from January 1, 2019, it was evident that the foreign operators have to leave the market. Now, the International Lottery and Betting Commission and Swiss Federal Gaming Board have published the backlists for 65 operators. These operators have to shut down from the Swiss Market with immediate effect because of non-obeying the regulations.
As per the new regulations, Swiss Casinos can open their online gambling products and offer them to the public. However, from July 1, 2019, it has made mandatory for the foreign operators to have a partnership deal with the local operators. The regulators can now block any foreign operator that hasn't made any partnership deal. Both the bodies have listed out 65 websites and Internet Service Providers are expected to block these websites or domains. There are many top names in that list and that includes Bet365 and Pinnacle.
This was an expected outcome of the law that was overwhelmingly voted to regulation in Switzerland. The intention was to keep the money within the Swiss borders and the actions have already started. Many companies had foreseen the same long back. Websites like Bwin and PartyPoker operated by GVC Holdings exited the Swiss market back in January. William Hill was operating till June and then said goodbye to the Swiss Market as well. It is believed that they understood that it is hard to strike a deal with a local partner and thus moved away from the market. William Hill noted that they had very less Swiss Players and it was an easy decision.
But is there a way to get reintroduced to the Swiss market? Well, there certainly is but the road would not be easy. Operators need to show that they can follow and obey local laws for five years and in that case, they would be allowed for partnership and re-entry to the market.

NPC Launches New "Eye on Potatoes" Podcast
Photo: National Potato Council
Kicking off the 12th annual Potato Expo, held Jan 14-15 in Las Vegas, the National Potato Council announced the launch of its new podcast, "Eye on Potatoes." The podcast, available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts, provides a platform for growers throughout the country and policy makers in Washington to learn about industry policy priorities and hear from growers and experts on the latest issues affecting the industry.
"NPC was created in 1948 for the sole purpose of impacting federal policy to benefit the U.S. potato industry," said NPC CEO Kam Quarles. "A key part of our ability to be successful in that mission is for growers and allied industry members to know what NPC is doing on the federal level, how it's impacting them, and how they can get involved. The 'Eye on Potatoes' is a terrific way to keep our partners throughout the country and in D.C. updated, knowledgeable, and engaged with our efforts on their behalf."
The biweekly podcast is hosted by Lane Nordlund, a professional television and radio agriculture broadcaster based out of Bozeman, Mont. Born and raised in Central Montana, Nordlund has been involved in production agriculture his entire life. He provides live televised broadcasts for the Montana Ag Network and hosts a segment on the statewide radio program "Montana Talks Hosted by Aaron Flint." Nordlund also hosts a podcast for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association and produces an agriculture podcast called "The LaneCast," which focuses on rural and agriculture issues in the western United States.

5 million healthy Britons will be tracked in bid to detect disease sooner
This article was taken from: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/12/05/5-million-healthy-britons-will-tracked-bid-detect-disease-sooner/
By Laura Donnelly, health editor at the Telegraph news
Five million healthy Britons will be tracked for years in attempt to develop artificial intelligence which spots signs of cancer and dementia far earlier.
Ministers said the measures – part of Britain's industrial strategy – will form the largest ever study of its kind.
The programme to accelerate detection of disease will track detailed clinical information – such as genetic records, scans and samples – from 1 million volunteeers, while regularly questioning a further 4 million patients in order to build a detailed picture.
The plans aim to speed up cancer diagnosis, potentially resulting in 22,000 fewer deaths a year within five years, as well as making breakthroughs detecting other major diseases far sooner.
Officials said the changes could save tens of thousands of lives by spotting deadly diseases long before symptoms even appear.
The technology will be developed by a new partnership between government and industry using artificial intelligence (AI) to develop the next generation of treatments.
The plans – the second part of the Government's Life Science's Sector Deal – will see more than £1.3 bn investment between the public and private sectors.
Business Secretary Greg Clark said: "From the first vaccine to the discovery of DNA, the UK has always been at the forefront of medical endeavour and healthcare innovations. That is why we are building on our unique strengths by placing life sciences at the centre of our modern Industrial Strategy, backed by the biggest increase in public research and development investment in UK history."
In a meeting with industry leaders at No10, the Business Secretary announced that as part of the deal, a new £150 to 200 million research and development facility of global biopharmaceutical company UCB will be built in the UK as part of a total investment of around £1 billion over the next 5 years.

Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor are dating each other and it is not a secret anymore. The couple are now openly making public appearances and also going for dinner dates. Like other couples, Malaika and Arjun keep commenting on each other posts. Arjun is currently shooting for his next film titled 'Panipat' in Jaipur and he had posted a picture on his Instagram handle.
Arjun posted a picture where he is seen lying on a couch. He put a long caption alongside the picture saying he is 'enjoying the day off'. Here is the picture.
Have a look at Malaika's comment.
This is not the first time Malaika is so quick to comment on Arjun's picture. A few days back, when the 'Half Girlfriend' actor shared his childhood picture, Malaika commented calling him 'cute'.
When earlier Malaika shared a throwback picture of her, Arjun replied saying "Hmm…". Have a look at the picture of Malaika.


The experience of living requires that as fully developed persons, we seek meaning in all things. Our daily and spiritual lives are crowded with events and information rich in meanings both overt and symbolic. In accordance with the Xaverian Philosophy of education, we believe that we hold a sacred responsibility to develop and encourage the fullest capacity to experience, express, and create the extraordinary in the everyday lives of the Good Counsel student. We believe it is imperative that we inspire our students to read, interpret, and make the things that express what cannot be experienced through any other means. That is art. Through music, art, and theatre, we strive to foster the loving, good person, who works to influence the world and others for good.
Our mission is to offer academic classes and activities that create an environment in which every Good Counsel student can find rewarding and engaging work which provides the opportunity to grow and develop as the creators and consumers of art. Through a sequential program of courses, we seek to establish and build upon a solid foundation of knowledge and skills that allow our students to experience the depth of meaning to be discovered in the arts. Our primary focus is on student performance through the creation of drawings, paintings, sculpture, graphics, theatrical, and musical performances of the highest quality. We bring our students into contact with professional artists from each discipline in a variety of ways including workshops, mentorships, and community-based relationships that connect our work in the classroom to the world at large. Our goal is to make the arts a lively experience for every student and to create an ongoing appetite and appreciation for the Fine Arts in the lives of our graduates.

Hospital Security Audit: How Secure Is Your Access Control System
Medical institutions face many challenges. One of the most important is ensuring the safety and well-being of all on-premise individuals. Hospital access control systems are used to increase security but they can only help if installed and set up correctly and efficiently. A cohesive effort between hospital management, security, HR, and IT is necessary to ensure everyone's safety, prevent theft and violence and avoid a shutdown of hospital operations.
Who is Protected by Access Control?
Even in a smaller hospital setting, it is difficult for security cameras and personnel to keep an eye on everyone at all times. Not only that, your security officers may not be allowed access to specific areas, such as those that house dangerous substances or contagious patients. With access control, you can protect all people throughout your hospital at all times.
Hospital staff – administrative, doctors, nurses, utility crews, volunteers, etc.
Patients – referrals, walk-ins, scheduled check-ups, emergency cases, inpatients, outpatients
Visitors – family and friends of patients, hospital staff visitors
Hospital suppliers – medical representatives, delivery crews for medical and non-medical supplies
Vendors – cafeteria and concessions servers, gift shop staff, and all other vendors
The need to protect staff, patients, and visitors from those with malicious intent is also something to consider.
Access Control System Functions
Protecting high-traffic areas may seem a little more obvious, but there are also critical areas of the hospital that don't receive high foot traffic and still require stringent security. Implementing access control means protecting all areas from unauthorized access and restricting entry to areas that are closed off to the public.
It also allows for monitoring the movement of guests and hospital personnel throughout the building(s), identifying individuals who can access restricted rooms, and granting entry to personnel who have clearance to specific areas of the hospital. Your security team is enabled to program specific security parameters based on your needs.
In such a fast-paced environment, it is critical that hospital security is ready and able to respond when a crisis occurs, such as a sudden influx of emergency patients, a stream of media, and police in pursuit of a high-profile patient or a dangerous individual entering the building. Access control systems allow you to deploy lockdowns (specific areas or the entire facility) and usher people in the right direction during an emergency to ensure their safety.
Incorporating access control maintenance in your routine security audits will ensure your systems are working properly.
Access Control Security Audits: Focus Points
Regular audits are vital for ensuring that your access control systems are functioning correctly. It is important to pay particular attention to the following five areas.
Physical Barriers – Access control audits should include tests on physical barriers like magnetic and auto-lock doors and turnstiles and speed gates for pedestrians and cars. Barriers that are slow to respond could be problematic in emergency situations.
Identification Devices – Impress upon your staff the importance of keeping their personal identification and access keys safe. Built-in devices like biometric-access locks, access control keypads and identification sensors must be programmed to admit the correct clearance levels into certain areas of the hospital. The audit should also extend to the data logs, which show an accurate record of foot traffic into restricted areas.
Door Control Hardware and Software – Faulty access control due to careless installation and software bugs can render your access control system useless.
Clearances – It's imperative for the administration to keep a close watch over the clearances of all hospital employees, vendors, and visitors.
Human Resources should immediately deactivate identification devices of resigned or terminated employees. Don't wait for a system audit but do initiate small, periodic audits to ensure everyone has the proper access.
If you are looking to update or upgrade your hospital's access control systems, we can help. Not only that, we specialize in nurse call systems, panic buttons, fire detection, mass notification, and communications systems installation, integration, and maintenance, too.

Q: SSAS adding a custom attribute member to a cube for reporting We have a cube with many measures and one of the main dimensions is a 'site' dimension with about a dozen sites.
I've been asked to add a 'site' that is basically ALL the sites.
They don't want the actual hierarchy,
I tried defining the ALLMEMBER attribute but they don't want another hierarchy level, they want an actual attribute member at the same level. They want the whole displayed as another site next to the actual site values
Example:
Right now with the all member attribute I can show
All Sites - 140
  +
    New York   45
    Chicago    60
    Boston     35

But what they want is this:
New York   45
Chicago    60
Boston     35
All Sites  140

I'm not sure where to go from here in BIDS.  It's not really a named dataset, nor a calculated measure.  It's really a custom attribute member.

A: You can define a calculated Dimension member in your cube calculation script.
You'd need something like:
Create member Site.site.AllSiteCalc AS SUM(Site.site.children,Measures.currentmember)
Once you've processed the cube this should become available in ssms,excel or to use in a query


THE holiday season is here and whileTico timekeeping is infamous, the onething many appear happy to begin early isa party.Rather than just celebrating a few specialdays, such as Christmas and NewYear's, Costa Ricans typically put theiraguinaldos (mandatory Christmas bonusesequal to one month's salary) to good useand turn the entire month of December intoa time of merrymaking.The annual Festival de la Luz will becelebrated for the eighth consecutive yeartomorrow evening in the capital.Floats with fairytale characters andcovered with thousands of lights will leavefrom La Sabana Park, in western San José,at 6 p.m., and slowly make their way to thecenter of San José along Paseo Colón.The main roads along which the paradewill pass will be partially closed at 1 p.m.and totally closed off to vehicle traffic at 3p.m. Fireworks will announce the lightparade at 6 p.m. behind the Museum ofCosta Rican Art in La Sabana, and near theBanco Nacional and Banco CréditoAgrícola downtown.THIS is the second year running thatthe Municipality of San José has sponsoredthe traditional "Avenidazo" on the pedestrianmall downtown. From now untilChristmas Eve, evening shoppers along sixblocks of Avenida Central will find themselvesin the midst of a tropical blizzard, aspaper confetti is liberally thrown overeveryone.Decades ago, before Avenida Centralwas remodeled and turned into a pedestrianwalkway in the 1990s, the avenue wasclosed to vehicle traffic during the monthof December, and pedestrians took overthe streets for the Avenidazos.However, the holiday tradition fadedaway after the Ministry of Public Healthbanned the sale of confetti in 1989,prompted by complaints that people werethrowing dirty confetti scooped up off theground, getting it in people's eyes andmouths. The sale of confetti remains prohibited,but this week appeared to be toleratedby the police present at theavenidazos, which begin at 6 p.m. dailyand include Christmas caroling and musicalperformances, among other culturalofferings."I come here because it's a CostaRican tradition and I love it," said MaríaEugenia Quesada, as she threw large handfulsof confetti everywhere.Eduardo Mora, there with his 4-yearolddaughter Montserrat, said, "I used tocome when I was a child and loved theavenizado. Then it got dirty and wasbanned, but this year I decided to take arisk and bring my daughter. It seems safe,there are lots of police around and there isa nice atmosphere."Officials from the Municipality of SanJosé said they are hoping to see "thousandsof Costa Ricans" show up to enjoy the traditionalpaper throwing.ANOTHER year-end tradition is Ticobullfighting – this year in a brand-newbullring in Zapote, in eastern San José.The old bullring was torn down lastyear amid fears the aging structure wasunsafe. The rebuilding of the bullringbecame a controversial issue last week asthe company Aditec, contracted by BGLConsultants to do the work, began constructionbefore it received official authorizationfrom the Municipality of San José.The work has started and stopped severaltimes, leading some fans of the corridade toros to wonder whether the bullringwill be finished on time. On Monday, theMunicipality gave permission for the workto go ahead, although the company says itwill have to use twice as many workers asplanned to finish the bullring in time.BGL consultants and the Municipalitysay everything will be ready in time for theshows, which start Dec. 22 and continueuntil Jan.2. A total of 4,000 tickets will besold for each of two daily shows, scheduledfor 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., and cost from¢2,500 ($5.50) to ¢5,000 ($11).This year, professional female toreraswill take center stage in the bullfights.(Animal-lovers need not worry; Ticobullfighting is nothing like Spanish bullfighting– the bulls are teased, but notkilled.)A more gentle but equally excitingevent will be the tope, a traditional horseparade along Paseo Colón on Dec. 26. Itstarts at La Sabana Park, in western SanJosé, at noon.THIS year's traditional Carnavalparade promises to be bigger and betterthan ever.The theme of the parade is "hope," andthe event will be dedicated to Katia Brenes,a 22-year-old woman who generously gaveup one of her kidneys to save a man shedidn't know (TT, Nov. 26).Although his body rejected the donatedorgan, the news helped other people in needof kidney transplants, according to MorrisMolina of the San José Festival Commission– 21 people have since been inspired to stepforward and offer to donate a kidney.The Carnaval parade is scheduled toleave the Merced Park in San José at noonon Dec. 27, with a 30-meter-long Chinesedragon leading the way.MYRIAD other year-end holidayevents have been scheduled around thecountry throughout the entire month ofDecember, including cultural activities,picture-taking sessions with Santa, musicand dance performances and a variety ofother activities.

Sherburn High School achieves "good" in latest Ofsted inspection
Sherburn High School, a comprehensive school located in Selby, North Yorkshire, achieved "good" in their latest Ofsted inspection which took place in April this year.
The school recently has engaged with the Secondary School Recruitment Project over the past 18 months to gain support with writing adverts which in turn aided them to recruit talented Maths teachers during 2016. This has ultimately helped them towards their Ofsted outcome of "Good" with comments on the report specifically about Maths teaching.
The report said "The local authority has provided effective support for the school since the last inspection. The headteacher has welcomed the opportunity to engage in a range of external reviews and has used the recommendations to inform the school's next steps to further improvement."
In relation to Maths teaching, the report contained many positive comments including:
"Pupils make very good progress in mathematics as a result of consistently strong teaching."
"Teaching in mathematics is particularly strong because the school has been successful in retaining a team of specialist teachers who are keen to learn from each other."
"Progress in mathematics in 2016 was particularly positive. Pupils made significantly better progress than other pupils nationally with similar starting points."
Given that the school was rated as "Requires Improvement" in their previous inspection, this is a huge success story for everyone involved.
If you would like to know more about the support available to you through the School Recruitment project and how we can help your school please contact Lauren Mosley, Resourcing Solutions, on 01609 533113 or This email address is being protected from spambots.

What attracts and challenges our local teachers?
We recently asked a series of English and Maths teachers from the local area what attracted them to the profession together with what they found most challenging about the profession.
Overwhelmingly, teachers were attracted to the profession because they enjoy working with young people, are able to make a difference and have a genuine passion for the subject area.
Teachers told us that it was both the reputation and location of their current school which attracted them to work there and were less interested in money and benefits.
Listed amongst the biggest challenges teachers face were high workload, lack of work life balance and performance monitoring.
The rationale behind collecting the data was to inform how we as a county can improve the attraction and retention of our teachers. Here in North Yorkshire we are aware of key issues and are pro-actively trying to support our teachers with these.
We have a Secondary Improvement Board which recognises some of the biggest challenges that teachers face and as such has commissioned a Teacher Recruitment and Retention Project. This project provides dedicated support to our schools in order to raise awareness of valuing staff which in turn will help to aid retention.

Purpose: Town-driven, bond-funded and quick-turnaround projects requiring no additional funding sources. Funding will be used to improve pedestrian and motorist travel throughout Holly Springs with an emphasis on what will benefit residents most and what can be done within an immediate time frame.
Work on these projects began immediately after the bond referendum. These projects will be of most direct benefit for local residents travelling local routes. Because a funding partner is not likely for these projects, the Town isn't waiting for that opportunity. Funding for these projects is entirely from the Town.
Widening Holly Springs Road from Flint Point Lane to Sunset Lake Road to a four-lane road with bike lanes and sidewalks. This project will increase road capacity ahead of the 540 interchange planned on Holly Springs Road. Also, upgrading bridge over Middle Creek will improve public safety as the current bridge area floods during heavy rain events.
Adding new right turn lane on Main Street (from near Earp Street to Holly Springs Road), giving turning traffic a place to stack so northbound through-traffic on Main Street can keep moving.
Adding new right turn lane southbound from Avent Ferry Road to South Main Street, improving traffic flow onto South Main Street.
Completing widening, sidewalk connections, curb and gutter, and crosswalks. This project improves traffic flow and safety on a well-traveled gateway road that leads to neighborhoods and premiere parks – Womble and Sugg Farm – where games and events are held throughout the year.
Realigning Avent Ferry Road to create a new cross-town connection from Avent Ferry Road to Bass Lake Road via Stinson Avenue. The realignment uses Pine Street to connect Avent Ferry Road with Stinson Avenue, reducing downtown congestion and serving as another access to the UNC Rex hospital site.
Connecting existing segments of Estes Lane over creek crossing. Combined with Teal Lake Drive, this connection will complete a route for local traffic between N.C. 55 and Bass Lake Road.
