The Barrow Downs were once the sacred burial ground of men, but became haunted when tortured spirits fled across Middle Earth out of the Witch Kingdom of Angmar, trying to escape the unbearable light of the sun which would destroy them and turn them to mist. The Barrow Wights were these spirits whose bodies had been destroyed, and sought other bodies in which they could dwell. They manipulated the bones and jewelled armour of the ancient kings of men, and would enchant their victims, who would lose all will of their own. The victims would be taken into the treasure filled tombs under the downs and laid on a stone altar, bound with gold chains, draped in the cloth and jewellery of the ancient dead before being killed with a sacrificial sword.
Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin travelled through the Barrow Downs, and in the fog became trapped by the Wights. They were placed on a cold stone slab, and as Frodo came to himself he saw that they were dressed in white cloth, adorned with jewels and treasure, and that a sword lay across their necks. A cold song began, and changed to an incantation, part of the ritual in which the Wights planned to kill the hobbits. Frodo mustered his courage, grabbed a nearby sword and attacked the Wight's hand that reached towards the hilt of the sacrificial sword. He recalled the song of Tom Bombadil, and began to sing. Tom arrived and opened the Barrow, letting in light which destroyed the Wights and freed the Hobbits. He said words over them to lift the Wights' enchantments then from the Barrow provided each hobbit with a leaf shaped dagger, wrought with red and gold serpent shapes and set in black sheaths. These were knives long ago made by the men of Westernesse and stood the hobbits in good stead as they continued on their journey.

Have you always wanted to walk the borders? You can get pretty close to hiking between Shenzhen and Hong Kong along Robin's Nest. Not only does the hike offers a beautiful view of both cities, it also doubles up as history walk as it goes past some WWII relics as well as a former mine. The full extent of this hike is only possible recently as the government opens up previously military restricted zone, and here's how to hike it:
1 Robin's Nest hike summary:
2 Getting to the trail start of Robin's Nest
3 Robin's Nest hike
3.1 Ma Hang Lead Mines
3.2 Going up to Robin's Nest
4 Ending the trek
Robin's Nest hike summary:
Time taken: 5-6 hours for the full hike, early exit and later start also possible along the trail
Pros: in addition to hiking views, you also get to see WWII relics and an abandoned mine (at least the outside of it)
Cons: it's quite far so be prepare to spend some time getting in and out
Tips: wear long trousers because the trails has lots of hedges, and bring lunch/snacks!
Getting to the trail start of Robin's Nest
Get off at Sheung Shui (penultimate stop on East Rail line) and exit A4 and walk across the skywalk to the Minibus station.
Take 55K and get off at Tam Shui Hang Village, this took about 45 minutes as the trail start is near the Shau Tau Kok border.
If you get off at earlier stops, there are trails that go up from Sha Tau Kok Road up to Robin's Nest. In case you want to, the stops are Tong To, Nam Chung, or Ma Tseuk Leng
The trail start is a little difficult to find – take the road that goes into the village by the public restroom – which is also the last toilet you'll see in the next 5-6 hours.
Stay on this road and carry on left at a junction until you reach the end.
A ribbon tied on the trees should mark the trail start, but if you can't find it, make sure you download an offline map (I recommend OSMAnd) so you can use GPS to find it. You can also have a look at my vlog which shows how we did the hike.
Note: follow the ribbons when in doubt!
Robin's Nest hike
Not too far into the trail, we already come an abandoned structure from WWII, there are even trenches where people used to hide.
At this stretch, you can see Shenzhen very clearly with all the cities, whereas Hong Kong's side is all countryside.
As the trail continues, the uphill stretch consiste of stairs and slopes, where we walked past the transformers.
Around ⅕ of the journey we reached Ah Kau Kok at the top and found an abandoned house. Be careful of broken glass littered around.
Going down from the building is also a little scary, we had to hold on to the trees. This lead us down to this part where there's a laminated rough map on the trees to show the path ahead. We are headed towards the caves.
Next we arrive at a former border station – the MacIntosh Fort, but that's not the main route, so we had to double back.
Ma Hang Lead Mines
After crossing two streams, we found some more abandoned buildings and a broken bridge – which we did have to cross. On our hike, we ran into a group who took us along with them to see the abandoned mines!
Definitely the hard way
There are two options to reach it: climb up a pile of soil or take the stairs. We took the stairs and found ourselves at Ma Hang Lead Mines. It was blown up during the WWII by locals so it won't be used by Japanese.
From the mines, we carried on up and found a spot for lunch. Then, it's finally time to go to Robin's Nest!
Going up to Robin's Nest
Here is where you'll encounter two sets of opened gate, which marked the former military zone.
At the top, the border is unclear but Shenzhen is the built up part. Then it's time to go back down towards the Hong Kong side. It is a long way down…
Once we reached the concrete stairs, it's almost to the end!
Ending the trek
MOOD (yup that's me at the front right)
The path from Robin's Nest took us down to Shau Tau Kok Road, the main road in the area.
bus stop sign for reference
The nearest bus station is Wo Hang just a little further where we waited for the 78K bus back to Sheung Shui.

You want to get yours facts straight! It's not a "McKentish fortress", it's a MacIntosh fort. And Hong Kong isn't a city, it's a territory. The city is only a small part.

Hi, I made a typo and it is amended. To be specific, HK is a special administrative region, not a territory.

North Las Vegas to host virtual warrant quashing
The North Las Vegas Municipal Court will hold a warrant quashing event through Dec. 16, the city said Tuesday.

People with outstanding bench warrants can go online to this page to fill out a brief form, after which a staff member will work with them to resolve the warrant over email.
"Especially during the holiday season, economic uncertainty is a heavy burden for many in our community, which often leads to people choosing not to pay fines for citations, which leads to bench warrants that often increase the total cost of the underlying fine and even prevent re-employment," Municipal Court Chief Judge Chris Lee said in a press release.
The court also announced a partnership with Toys for Tots to collect new toys that will be distributed to children in need. People can drop toys off through Dec. 16 at the court, 2332 Las Vegas Blvd., between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Herbert Hoover and the 1930 Drought, continued
September 23, 2020 June 16, 2021 by Spencer Howard, posted in Herbert Hoover, Presidency
Part 2 — The Great Humanitarian Stumbles
[For Part 1, see https://hoover.blogs.archives.gov/2020/09/16/herbert-hoover-and-the-1930-drought/ ]
A farmer poses with his Red Cross seed package.
The Red Cross gave seeds to farmers who lost their crops so they could grow food for their families
At first, Hoover's drought relief plan was widely praised; it seemed that he had come up with a perfect combination of Federal leadership and local control. The state and local committees went to work with enthusiasm. But as summer turned to fall and fall to winter, things didn't go as planned. Local committees were overwhelmed with need. The railroads lost money and stopped providing discount rates. Any hope of private credit evaporated when it became clear that that much of the need was among those who couldn't qualify for loans. The Red Cross appeared to be the last hope, but they too were overwhelmed. The national leadership committed $5 million to relief, but quickly discovered much more was needed. Unprepared for the scale of the disaster, the Red Cross attempted to slow-walk assistance, hoping the local relief committees would find a way to get the job done. Through December, the Red Cross response was limited to distributing free seeds for spring planting; only in January did they begin providing food relief.
By October, Hoover realized more was needed. He held conferences with Red Cross officials, community chest leaders, cabinet officers and bureaucrats, trying to plan a nationwide fund drive for the Red Cross. The minimum needed for bare subsistence relief seemed to be about $15 million, but he explored the possibility of a much bigger drive — up to $200 million — to support more generous nationwide relief, including the urban unemployed. Nothing came of these discussions.
December brought the opening of Congress (in those years, Congress met only from December to March) along with public pressure for Federal appropriations. Negotiations between a bipartisan group of Congressmen and the Secretary of Agriculture settled on a figure of $60 million, including money for food and clothing in addition to crop loans and other aid. But Democrats maneuvered to take some of the credit for the relief package and in a fit of political pique Hoover put his foot down, demanding no more than $25 million, and only loans, nothing for food relief. Members of both parties felt betrayed by Hoover's intransigence, and after weeks of debate Congress finally settled on $45 million for crop loans.
Hoover continued to insist that the Red Cross could handle direct relief to impoverished families, even as the Red Cross struggled to provide aid in hard hit areas. At Hoover's urging, the Red Cross told Congress they had enough money, but within days they began calling for a $10 million fund drive. Senator Joseph Robinson of Arkansas tried to call Hoover's bluff — he proposed a bill to give $25 million in tax dollars to the Red Cross for food relief. In his public reply, President Hoover insisted it was "essential that we should maintain the sound American tradition and spirit of voluntary aid in such emergency and should not undermine that spirit which has made our Red Cross the outstanding guardian of our people in time of disaster." He warned that "opening of the doors of the Federal Treasury" would inhibit voluntary donations and destroy "American ideals and American institutions." The Red Cross leadership backed Hoover, fearing that Congress would drag them into providing relief for the urban unemployed. Hoover compromised on a bill for $20 million in additional loans, but with the provision that some of the money could be used to buy food; only $8 million was actually loaned as most of the needy couldn't qualify for credit.
Through the first half of 1931, the Red Cross, with Hoover's help, raised $10 million in addition to the original $5 million earmarked for relief. That $15 million provided food, clothing and supplies to over 600,000 farm families in 23 states, but it still wasn't enough as thousands of families struggled to survive. Voters throughout the country wondered why Hoover was unwilling to spend tax dollars on food for those who were needy through no fault of their own, as he had done so effectively in Europe and Russia. And in his clumsy battle with Congress, Hoover burned much of the good will and political capital he would need for the new emergencies to come in 1931 and 1932.

Advanced practical skills training and peer mentoring in written advocacy, including preparation of factums or other written submissions, through participation in a second intellectual property moot competition.
The course runs in two parts. Part I focusses on written advocacy (3 credits in the Fall or January term). Part II focusses on oral advocacy (3 credits in the Winter term). All students must enroll in both parts of the course, for a total of 6 credits.
Participation is by application only, with requirements and administrative details to be released in early September. CML 3184 (Written Advocacy in Intellectual Property) or the equivalent is a prerequisite for this advanced seminar.
Students enrolled in advanced IP advocacy will have previously participated in one or more of the following moot court competitions. In the advanced seminar, students participate at a more advanced level in a competition they have not previously participate in.
The Harold G. Fox Intellectual Property Moot focuses on problems of Canadian domestic intellectual property. The University of Ottawa team may be comprised of up to five students. In making selections, strong preference will be given to 2nd year students, because one of the Fox Moot prizes is guaranteed entry and paid travel to the Oxford Moot the following year.
The Oxford International Intellectual Property Moot involves a combination of international and comparative domestic and foreign law. Participants must find, synthesize and cite law from throughout the world, but especially the European Union, United States, United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries. Teams from universities including some of the world's most prestigious institutions in many different countries compete in the Oxford Moot. The University of Ottawa team may include up to three participants. In making selections, strong preference will be given to 3rd year students from the previous year's Fox Moot team. As part of their work on the Oxford Moot, these 3rd year students will be expected to mentor and support the Fox Moot team of 2nd year students.
The policymaking competition is unlike any other course or moot. Rather than preparing a factum, we'll teach you the art of a different sort of persuasive writing: the "Memorandum to Cabinet". And instead of arguing before judges, you'll be trained to persuade Cabinet Ministers and other senior policymakers that your ideas should become law. This component of the course stems from a collaboration between the Departments of Canadian Heritage (PCH) and Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED), and the faculties of law at leading Canadian law schools. It has been conceived as a way for students to gain instruction and experience in public policy thinking, drafting and briefing.
Section F is for students enrolled in the seminar who are competing in the Oxford International IP Moot, the written submissions for which are due in December.
Section FJ is for students enrolled in the seminar who are competing in the Harold G. Fox Intellectual Property Moot or the Copyright Policymaking Moot, the written submissions for which are due in January or March respectively.
Students enrolled in section F or FJ must also enrol in CML 4185: Oral Advocacy in Intellectual Property in the Winter term.
The prerequisite for this seminar is CML 3184: Written Advocacy in Intellectual Property.
Open access reading materials made available online.
Evaluation is based upon participation, teamwork, leadership, professionalism, and quality of written outputs.

Arkansas Prisoner Guilty of Threatening Federal Judges, Prosecutor
By Editor | May 5, 2022 | 0
LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas – An Arkansas inmate has pleaded guilty to federal violations, announced Eastern District of Texas U.S. Attorney Brit Featherston today.
Jeffrey Scott Williams pleaded guilty to mailing threatening communications today before U.S. District Judge Kristine G. Baker.
According to information presented in court, in June 2017, Williams was convicted of mailing threatening communications and was sentenced to 10 years in prison based on a letter he wrote in which he threatened to kill a United States judge. After that conviction, in March 2018, Williams mailed a letter to the federal courthouse in Memphis, Tennessee, in which he threatened to kill a United States judge. Then in May 2018, February 2019, and March 2020, Williams mailed letters to the federal courthouse in Little Rock in which he threatened two United States judges and an Assistant U.S. Attorney.
Williams was indicted by a federal grand jury on June 4, 2020. He faces up to 10 years in federal prison. The maximum statutory sentence prescribed by Congress is provided here for information purposes, as the sentencing will be determined by the court based on the advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the U.S. Probation Office.
This case is being investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and prosecuted by Eastern District of Texas Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan R. Hornok.

Sport Clips Unveils New Slogan "Women Are Inferior"
March 12, 2019 March 12, 2019 Posted in NationalTagged chet, funny, hair gel, lacrosse, men are the worst, misogynist, sexist, slogan, sport clips, sports guy, women
CHESTERFIELD, MO — ESPN Classic played on the TV and his ears were filled with Daughtry as Aiden O'Connor sat down for his sixteenth consecutive haircut at Sport Clips.
"I just thought the whole hair store was so cool," said O'Connor, whose locks were cut using teal safety scissors, "plus they clearly display their views on women, which really sold me."
Aiden's first visit to Sport Clips was no coincidence, as it comes right on the heels of the debut of the company's new slogan.
The slogan is finally being changed from the long-celebrated "It's good to be a guy."
Yes, that is the actual slogan. Look it up. Right now.
Chet Strafe, self-proclaimed founder & CEO of men's hair and also Sport Clips, said he doesn't get what all the fuss is about.
"Look. Look at me. Look. At. Me. Let me tell you something. I invented men's hair," Chet said in a series of Tik Tok videos sent from his personal TopGolf Suite.
"And for that reason, there is nobody — nobody— that understands women more than me, Strafe said.
"I mean, bro, can I be serious? I want to be serious for a second. Can I be serious? I ask women all the time if they know who started this whole 'men's hair' thing. Every single time, I kid you not, they mention something about my TopGolf suite."
Sport Clips also announced Tuesday that it will no longer be hiring female employees, a move that Chet says will allow for a long-planned uptick in unprecedented pornography screenings.
UPDATE: Since debuting the new slogan, Sport Clips Inc. has acquired both GameStop and Skechers.

RESIDENCE HALL ASSOCIATION HOSTS WINTER FORMAL
Brigitte Hernandez | Staff Writer | lhernandez3@mail.smcvt.edu
The Residence Hall Association (RHA) hosted the Winter Wonderland Formal on Feb. 25th. The event was hosted in the Roy Room on the second floor of Dion.
"I am wearing a blue suit. We are all dressed to the nines. Jonas didn't wear a tie though, but the rest we all look nice," said Finn McGillivray '24.
Student-run formals are traditional at St. Michael's College, said RHA Co-president Hannah Dawkins '22.
The tradition began with "Shane's Sparkling Soiree," organized by a previous RHA president. New themes emerge each year.
RHA Co-president Hannah Dawkins '22 said she was happy to host the formal this year, after they couldn't plan one last year due to COVID-19.
"St. Mike's has had quite a few formal dances, always put on [by] the Residence Hall Association. We weren't able to host a dance last year because of COVID, so we were so happy we could host a dance this year," she said.
Dawkins explained that RHA encouraged peers to follow health and safety protocols advised by the College.
"The guidelines for our event were basically the same as they are for any other indoor school event. Masks are required unless eating, people were asked to not enter the event if they were feeling unwell, off-campus guests had to register with Public Safety, and staff and club members had to be present to ensure people were keeping their masks on and being safe," she said.
Dawkins also collaborated with Felicia Fil '22, Mary Kohn '24, Associate Dean of Students Kerri Leach, and Assistant Director of Conferences & Special Events Emily Zimmer.
More than 60 people attended the dance.
The dance gave students an opportunity to leave their dorm rooms and socialize while listening to music. The playlist included a range of different genres from the early 2000s to today's top hits.
"I haven't worn this suit in forever so I am really happy to put it back on it. Hit the dance floor," McGillivray said.
When students took a break from the dance floor, they headed to the lobby to enjoy a food spread of gluten-free cookies, vegetable platters, fruit, cheese, and chips.
"There is great food spread. I liked all the cookies. There is so much diversity in the cookie plate." said Chloe Davis '21.
Dawkins said she was satisfied with the outcome of the event.
"I would like to think the dance was a success. I was there the entire evening and saw so many students having fun and socializing, and everyone looked so nice in their formal wear. The goal was to put on a fun evening full of dancing, good music, and good food, so I think we did a decent job," Dawkins said.
Andrew McCluster '23 is a University of Vermont student who attended the formal to enjoy quality time with friends.
"Honestly this is a great time for me. Usually, I am locked up in my apartment playing Mario Party and I normally go to events that are not as wholesome as this. I am glad that I am taking it down a notch and having some good wholesome fun," he said.

CHARLOTTE DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT BECOMES NINTH AIRPORT TO PURCHASE PROTERRA® BATTERY-ELECTRIC BUSES FOR GROUND TRANSPORTATION
Holly Hanbury-Brown
CLT procures five Proterra battery-electric buses for its fleet, cutting emissions and reducing operating costs for the airport
Burlingame, Calif. – June 17, 2019 – Today Proterra, a leading innovator in heavy-duty electric transportation, announced that Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) has agreed to purchase five 35-foot Proterra Catalyst® E2 electric buses and five 125 kW Proterra® plug-in charging systems. As one of the busiest airports in the nation, CLT serves approximately 46 million passengers each year. CLT becomes the ninth airport to purchase Proterra electric buses for ground transportation and joins a growing list of major airports across the U.S. that are electrifying their fleets.
"At CLT, we are dedicated to implementing sustainable practices that are cost effective and that create a better experience for our employees and visitors," said CLT's COO Jack Christine. "CLT has the goal of fully transitioning its fleet to zero-emission vehicles, which brings both economic and environmental benefits to the airport and Charlotte community," Christine added.
Proterra battery-electric buses will contribute to CLT's sustainability goals. Proterra Catalyst vehicles have no tailpipe emissions and decrease dependency on fossil fuels. Emissions are reduced by 230,000 pounds of CO2 annually each time a diesel vehicle is replaced by a Proterra electric bus.
In addition to the five electric buses, CLT is also installing five Proterra plug-in chargers. Proterra charging systems utilize the universal J1772-CCS Type 1 charging standard, enabling buses, utility vehicles and cars to share the same chargers. By planning for scale now, CLT can utilize the charging infrastructure for a range of battery-electric powered service vehicles in the future.
CLT is the first airport to leverage the Georgia State Contract to purchase Proterra electric buses. The state of Georgia underwent a testing and review process and selected Proterra as a statewide vendor for electric buses, and allows other states to leverage the state contract to simplify the process of purchasing electric buses. CLT's Proterra buses will be manufactured locally in Greenville, SC.
Airports across the country are transitioning their ground transportation vehicle fleets to zero-emission buses, and CLT joins a growing list of airports across the nation that are leading this trend, including San Francisco International Airport (SFO), John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), LaGuardia Airport (LGA), Sacramento International Airport (SMF), Silicon Valley's Norman Y. Mineta San José International Airport (SJC), Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU), and Honolulu International Airport (HNL).
"Airports are an ideal use case for electric vehicle technology because of their predictable circulator routes and potential for shared charging infrastructure with other service vehicles in the fleet," said Proterra CEO Ryan Popple. "It's exciting to see airports from coast to coast, like CLT, make the commitment to transition 100 percent of their fleets to clean, quiet zero-emission buses."
Proterra will be at the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) conference in Boston from June 16-19 at booth #1218. Join Proterra at the booth to learn more about its zero-emission bus and charging technology, and step on board one of the new electric buses recently deployed by Port Authority of New York & New Jersey at LaGuardia Airport.

Metal Anarchy's New Music Showcase: Exclusive Q&A With On Better Terms
Time for the next edition of Metal Anarchy's "new music showcase," the feature where I introduce you to bands that readers of this site may find interesting. This time I have an exclusive Q&A with On Better Terms.
METAL ANARCHY: Tell me a little about your band:
ON BETTER TERMS: We are On Better Terms, from Dallas, TX. We blend grovvy/indie guitar riffs with harsh vocals as well as some spoken word. We try to express and evoke as much emotion as possible. We would define ourselves as a harmony between chaos and melody. We got started when vocalist Andrew brought his lyrics to guitarist Alex who began writing songs while Andrew was still in college. We got together to write and record when we could and once Andrew graduated we added a bassist and drummer and started writing even more and practicing a set. We've been playing shows and releasing music ever since. Our collective love for music and similar bands as well the desire to express ourselves outside daily life really made us want to start this project
METAL ANARCHY: Who are your main influences?
ON BETTER TERMS: Our Influences span a wide range, but we would narrow it down to La Dispute, Touche Amore, Troubled Coast, and Being As An Ocean.
METAL ANARCHY: What is your latest release and why should readers of this site check it out?
ON BETTER TERMS: We just released our first full length record called Waves. It's something we've been working on for a long time and are very proud to release. It's the culmination of all our hard work over the last year, and we feel it's the best thing we've ever put out in terms of writing and production.
METAL ANARCHY: What can people expect when they go to your live shows?
ON BETTER TERMS: We feel our live shows are a celebration of emotion and a culmination of the natural feelings of life. A very raw and beautiful experience that guide the audience toward inner reflection and resolution. We like to think that our live show is the best feature of our band. We try to bring as much energy and emotion to our live set as possible. The guitar tones and lyrics seem to hit so much harder in person. We also have a light show rigged up to sync with our music that definitely contributes to our aesthetic.
METAL ANARCHY: Where do you see your band heading in 5 years?
ON BETTER TERMS: The plan for the band is to continue to write music and tour until we can't do this anymore.

Complex Trauma describes both children's exposure to multiple traumatic events, often of an invasive, interpersonal nature, and the wide-ranging, long-term impact of this exposure.
These events are severe and pervasive, such as abuse or profound neglect. They usually begin early in life and can disrupt many aspects of the child's development and the very formation of a self. Since they often occur in the context of the child's relationship with a caregiver, they interfere with the child's ability to form a secure attachment bond.
Many aspects of a child's healthy physical and mental development rely on this primary source of safety and stability.

Attorney General Lynch meets Gray family in Baltimore
By BRIAN WITTE
"We're here to hold your hands and provide support," Lynch said in a meeting with faith and community leaders, including members of Congress.
The new attorney general met privately at the University of Baltimore with Freddie Gray's family, days after the state's attorney charged six police officers involved in Gray's arrest. Gray's injury in police custody and death a week later sparked protests and riots that prompted Maryland's governor to bring in the National Guard.
Lynch was joined by the head of the Civil Rights Division, Vanita Gupta, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services Director Ronald Davis and Community Relations Service Director Grande Lum. Lynch met with Reps. Elijah Cummings, John Sarbanes and C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger and Sens. Barbara Mikulski and Ben Cardin.
"This is a flashpoint situation," Lynch said. "We lost a young man's life and it begins to represent so many things."
The FBI and the Justice Department are investigating Gray's death for potential civil rights violations. The Justice Department is expected to release results of a separate review of the police department's use of force practices in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, Baltimore City Council President Jack Young renewed his request that the Justice Department conduct a comprehensive, civil rights investigation into the policies, procedures and practices of the city's police department.
Lynch later met privately with Police Commissioner Anthony Batts at police headquarters. She then met about a dozen officers who had been on the streets when violence broke out, telling them they joined a noble profession.
"We are here to help you work through these struggles," Lynch said. "To all of you on the front lines, I want to thank you. You really have become the face of law enforcement. "
Lynch also met with Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake at City Hall.
Lynch returned to the University of Baltimore on Tuesday afternoon to meet with a group of residents who have protested against police brutality and excessive force.
Lynch, who is in just her second week on the job, has spoken repeatedly of the need to mend relationships between police and minority communities. At her January confirmation hearing, she described herself as being personally "pained" by the ongoing tensions, and spoke at her swearing-in ceremony last week of the need to "restore trust and faith both in our laws and in those of us who enforce them."
Associated Press Writer Eric Tucker contributed to this report in Washington.

Coronavirus Croatia – 6246 new cases of Covid-19 across Croatia in past 24 hours – 64 further fatalities
6246 new cases of Covid-19 Pixabay
In the last 24 hours, 6,246 new cases of Covid-19 virus infection were recorded, and the number of active cases in Croatia today is a total of 34,953.
Among them, 2,529 people are in hospital, of which 316 are on ventilators.
Unfortunately, a further 64 people died in the past 24 hours.
Currently, 29,853 people are in self-isolation.
To date, a total of 3,397,608 people have been tested, of which 15,526 in the last 24 hours.
As of 24.11.2021 4,047,302 doses of vaccine had been used, and 53.02 percent of the total population and 63.28 percent of the adult population were vaccinated. Yesterday 24,983 doses of vaccine were used, of which 9,894 people were vaccinated with the first dose.

I wish I had a nickel for every time I've heard someone say: "Snoop is too expensive". Some managers are so strapped financially, that they resort back to using plain old soap and water. Unfortunately, using a solution designed to cut grease is not very effective in finding leaks. The result is compromised accuracy and increased time required to get the job done right.
The most cost-effective and accurate solution is Heavy-Duty Leak Detection Fluid™ Concentrate (HD-LDF-C), a concentrate you dilute on-site, specific to the unique job requirements. At our recommended dilution of 7:1, each 16 fluid ounce bottle of HD-LDF-C makes one gallon of high tech leak detection fluid. One gallon! Why pay to ship water????
It takes 16 bottles of Snoop (8 fluid ounces each) to get one gallon of leak detection fluid. That means Snoop is almost 95% water! Snoop is very expensive. Let's look at the facts.
In addition to saving in a lot of money in shipping costs, HD-LDF-C has an economic payback of 4:1.
The best part is Heavy-Duty Leak Detection Fluid™ Concentrate significantly outperforms Snoop. Because Snoop has the viscosity of water, as soon as you squirt some on, it runs off. You have to keep squirting and squirting to find the leak.
Not with HD-LDF-C. Because HD-LDF-C is much more viscous (resists flow) it stays in place once applied. Plus our bubbles last ten times longer than a Snoop bubble. This makes your job easy and accurate.
Heavy-Duty Leak Detection Fluid™ Concentrate. Try some today!

There were two witnessed to that murder, Father Mac, and a young boy named Sonny that he had baptized and watched grow up. Unfortunately Sonny was recently found dead, an apparent accident on the train tracks, but more likely another murder by Tony in an attempt to cover up his crime and stop him from testifying against him.
Sam saves Father Mac from a falling cross and then later confronts Tony in a bar, leading to a fight when Mac also shows up and the situation escalates. With Sam's martial arts skills, and Mac's boxing prowess, they manage to take Tony down as his younger brother Joey looks on in awe.
Meanwhile, Al explains the reason he has been so distant on them leap: after his father died of cancer, he refused to have anything to do with the church because it felt like his prayers went unanswered.
Sam and Mac have a sparring match in which Sam tries to convince him to get out of town so as to avoid being targeted further by Tony and to dry out from his apparent alcoholism. Mac refuses as they lay punches on each other with Sam finally knocking Mac down and leaving to take his confession duty for him. Unfortunately, Tony has arrived for confession with a gun, shooting through the confessional and grazing Sam in the forehead. Father Mac discovers this and heads off to find Tony.
Al, having prayed to God once again after so many years and seeing Sam awaken from the bullet would, informs Sam that it turns out he is here's to save Father Mac from KILLING Tony and not vice versa. Sam finds Mac holding Tony at gunpoint on the tracks where Sonny was killed and won't let him off the tracks until he confesses. Mac reveals that Tony will walk without a confession because he didn't actually see the murder, he only told Sonny he did to help comfort the young boy. Eventually, just before a train would hit him, Tony confesses and Sam pushes him out of the way and after a heart to heart with both Mac and Al, Sam leaps.

One Strobe Over the Line:
Sam leaps into photographer Karl Granson working for Helen LeBaron a well known modeling agent. Sam's mission this time is to protect one of her models, Edie, from dying of an overdose.
As Sam gets closer to Edie, he learns that she was a small town girls who got caught up in the glitz and glamour of the modeling lifestyle and that Helen herself has been pushing drugs on her to help her keep up with that lifestyle. Sam confronts Edie about this and stays with her to help her get through the weekend as she attempts to break the habit, which she eventually does.
However at the next shoot she has, Edie shows signs that she needs a pick me up and Helen drops some pills into her drink to pep her up. Unfortunately, this relaxes Edie to a level where she starts drinking as well during the shoot and unwisely starts spraying a lion with champagne, and splashing it with water, which enrages the lion as it attacks people on set. Sam manages to intervene and save her from the lion, but Edie passes out and Helen's debauchery is discovered. Sam keeps Edie awake long enough for the ambulance to arrive and her life is saved, while Helen's coworkers and fellow professionals shun and leave her, paving the way for Sam to leap.

Danish patients to test drugs against the Covid-19
Consignments of the drug Remdesivir is conveyed to Danish hospitals. The medicine must be tested on 12 patients.
If there is a type of medication that can treat patients with the coronavirus, the arrow pointing in the scientific community – that it is the means Remdesivir.
Friday is the consignments of the drug received on several Danish hospitals.
Here a total of 12 patients are treated with Remdesivir as a part of an international research project, inform the Aalborg university Hospital.
The north jutland hospital participating in the project.
Remdesivir is one of the medicinal products, as the world's scientists have the greatest hope to know the treatment of bovine pleuropneumonia patients with Covid-19.
It tells senior chief physician Henrik Nielsen from the infectious disease department at Aalborg university Hospital.
– the Drug is attacking the very coronavirusset and have a direct effect on what damage the body.
– So I am thinking that it makes very good sense to try it. It is the first drug that how to really attack the root cause of the disease, he says.
Henrik Nielsen compares the medicine effect with antibiotics.
Covid-19 is the name of the disease that patients get after infection with the coronavirus. So far there hasn't been a known, effective treatment of the disease.
globally must Remdesivir be tested on 440 patients of which 200 in Europe.
Remdesivir was originally developed to treat other severe viral infections. For example, ebola, sars and mers.
the latter two are The former viral infections in coronafamilien.
– It is the first drug that offers real hope, but there are limited quantities, says Henrik Nielsen.
Therefore, it must preliminary be tested on 440 patients in the world.
– But I can't imagine anything more than that puts the speed on the production now, " says the chief physician.
He refers to the american manufacturer Gilead, which is doing Remdesivir.
of The 12 Danish patients are selected according to some specific criteria, among other things, how long they have been infected. If more and more people will be treated with the agent, depends on, whether sent more medicine to Denmark.
another remedy, which has been discussed as an option in the treatment of patients with Covid-19, is malariamidlet Klorokin.
to date, Henrik Nielsen, however, greater confidence Remdesivir.
In several cases worldwide are infected patients with Covid-19 already been treated with Remdesivir.
But there is a lack of data on whether the drug actually has an effect.

Sophos: Oracle Releases Java Fixes for CVEs
Original Author: Editorial Team;Chester Wisniewski
Approved by PR Firm: Inter-Asia
Out of nowhere Oracle has released an emergency update to address the zero-day vulnerabilities being exploited by many different criminal groups.
Surprisingly they included some previously unknown vulnerabilities that we can only assume may also have been in use in the wild.
According to Sophos, the good news is customers who require Java in their environments can now deploy an official fix and proceed with less risk. The bad news is one of the fixes they shipped out affects Java 6, so everyone needs to patch, not just those who were running Java 7.
Oracle officially fixed four CVEs, presumably covering five vulnerabilities. It appears that CVE 2012-4681 was actually two vulnerabilities, so it is difficult to tell for sure if they patched four or five flaws.
The first three only affect Java 7 and all have a CVSS score of 10, meaning they are remotely exploitable and result in code execution. That's as bad as it gets. The fourth affects both Java 6 and Java 7, but by itself does not result in code execution. Oracle have not stated precisely what kind of flaw it is, but based on its description it sounds like a privilege escalation vulnerability.
The fact that Oracle included this fourth vulnerability implies that they are seeing it used in conjunction with other vulnerabilities in the wild. You are strongly encouraged to apply the fix right away.
The bigger question is, "Do you really need Java?" If you can get by without it, you should. That is true for any application that interfaces with the internet. Fewer programs means fewer vulnerabilities.
Unfortunately, many organizations do require Java, but sometimes there are alternatives. All you need to do is ask.
According to Sophos' Chester Wisniewski, a Senior Security Advisor at Sophos Canada, "I tweeted complaining about Java requirements to @GoToMeeting yesterday and they responded with, 'We're in the process of replacing Java currently. On Windows you can always select the manual DL after disabling Java.' Excellent."
"Don't wait for your auto update program to trigger, download Java 7 Update 7 or Java 6 update 35 now, he said.
It took less than 12 hours from the time the proof of concept for the latest Java zero-day vulnerabilities went public for exploits of those vulnerabilities to be included in a commercial crimeware kit.
Brian Krebs was first to mention having heard that CVE 2012-4681 was being added to the Blackhole exploit kit, and SophosLabs confirmed seeing it in the wild a few hours later. In addition to CVE 2012-4681, SophosLabs noted that Blackhole still includes an exploit of CVE 2012-1723, which is a vulnerability in earlier versions of Java. Criminals are equal opportunity exploiters and don't want to miss out on the opportunity to attack any/all Java users.
Some have asked if Mac users are at risk from the CVE 2012-4681 exploit and the answer is "Maybe." The version officially distributed by Apple is Java 6, which is not vulnerable.
However, Oracle has made Java 7 available directly for OS X users, so if you installed the official Oracle version, you could be at risk.
Some Twitter users have reported that OS X users with Java 7 are being attacked, but the Blackhole kit is serving up Windows malware. I suppose this could be a blessing in disguise, as users are alerted to their insecure Java, but dodge the infection bullet. . . for now.
SophosLabs has increased the threat level to high after seeing this exploited both by the Blackhole exploit kit and in specific targeted attacks.
We recommend disabling Java or downgrading to Java 6 on any systems with humans actively interacting with internet-enabled applications.
PC World is reporting that a Polish security company called Security Explorations reported these 2 vulnerabilities and 17 others to Oracle back in April.
Why critical remote code execution vulnerabilities were not fixed in Oracle's June patch is unknown. Oracle has yet to acknowledge these publicly, but had set expectations with Security Explorations that they were to be fixed in October.

The closest airport to Offutt Air Force Base (OFF) is Millard Airport (MIQ), which is located only 12 miles (19 kilometers) WNW of OFF.
The 3902d Air Base Wing was inactivated on 1 March 1986, and the 55th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing assumed host-unit responsibilities for Offutt.
Aviation use at Offutt began in September 1918 during World War I as an Army Air Service balloon field.
In addition to being known as "Offutt Air Force Base", another name for OFF is "Offutt AFB".
Offutt Air Force Base is the host station for the 55th Wing, the largest wing of the United States Air Force's Air Combat Command.
The oldest surviving portion of Fort Crook is the parade grounds and surrounding red brick buildings that were constructed between 1894–96.
The furthest airport from Offutt Air Force Base (OFF) is Margaret River Airport (MGV), which is located 10,677 miles (17,183 kilometers) away in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia.
Offutt's population and facilities grew dramatically to keep pace with the increased operational demands during the Cold War.

of the valley of Shangri-La.
and decided to pursue this new expedition.
The road to Mansarovar Lake was well travelled by the three on many previous occasions. In this journey their togetherness, their growing love for each other, was new. The journey was short as they did not pursue the traditional pedestrian approach; they were conserving their energies for the unknown ahead.
Their minds were on a longer path of understanding, unravelling the true meaning of the world and its individual purpose. Like the snow mountains and the serenity of the waters of Mansarovar Lake, their minds were presently at peace and hearts were filled with their courage of conviction.
Gayatri felt a mental bond as strong as the physical attraction towards Jamshid. The joy in a touch, the thrill of a merged glance and the yearning after a missed hour, were all novel excitements for both. They shyly surrendered to their desires under the affectionate smiles of the Monk.
For Satori, devotion and love was a natural way of every substance. Everything had a heart, a beat, a cycle of changing forms and no constraints of Time and Space. He saw himself in the hearts, minds and bodies of the other two and had no need for the rationale of pouring love.
All felt a sense of the final call as they prepared themselves for the onward journey to the real Mansarovar. To Jamshid' s Shangri-La and Gayatri's Swans.
The Chief Monk had collaborated well with all the authorities under the wrap of utmost secrecy. They had all the resources needed for the expedition. For the next few months, in a secluded, untouched part of the Lake, the three went through an intense drill of deep diving and exploring the underground structures below the now slowly freezing Lake.
There were others before them who had tried and failed; robots using sophisticated equipments had failed too. Maybe they were all searching for the Impossible in vain. Or possibly there was only one approach to the rediscovery of Shangri-La.
And now these three had a deep drive, their coming was an inner calling. The Chief Monk sensed a rarity in this blending of three hearts and their deep search within. He blessed them to follow their longings.
The depth increased over the days; little light reached below the frozen ice. As they went deeper, they encountered a world of strange living things – the giant sea spiders, beetle-like creatures, and more. Further down, the diversity was mesmerizing. The sea fans, shellfish, soft corals, sponges, small fishes, fixed plant like animals and more.
And there were layers of underground ice caves, untouched for millions of years. There was one, among the many, which they sought. There were no maps here; only a broad outline drawn by Jamshid's ancestor and simply their inner eyes to seek.
Increasingly, they felt the pull as they dived into greater depths; there was an inner direction to pursue a path.
Then one day, they took leave of the Chief Monk and all those who assisted them over the months. They dragged the mountaineering equipments as they dived; robots helped to ease the navigation. And they searched, the meditating Monk guided their minds through numbing cold and pressure depths.
Under inhuman weather conditions, the three communicated with their eyes and hearts. They awaited a signal from the source. They now looked for others to guide them. They had used their drive, their knowledge and now had the will to surrender to inner strength and seeking, to let others hold out a helping hand.
There were doubts, the last tentacles restraining total surrender. Slowly under assuring eyes of Satori, they became like the unreal creatures of deep sea; holding physical laws in abeyance and concentrating on looking for the Sign.

Home / Migrate / Canada / Canada Express Entry
Before the Express Entry System was introduced, immigrants were invited on a "first come, first served" basis.
In 2015, Canada launched the Express Entry system that made immigration possible on the basis of eligibility rather than the stacking order.
An online application management system, Express Entry is used by the federal government of Canada to handle permanent residence applications from skilled workers.
The Express Entry system comes under the department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
Three of the main economic immigration programs of Canada are handled through IRCC Express Entry. These are –
[1] Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
[2] Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
[3] Candian Experience Class (CEC).
[*] Canada's Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) also has various immigration pathways or 'streams' linked with the federal Express Entry system.
There are two major factors that make Canada Express Entry a smooth and flexible system for economic immigration:
The Comprehensive Ranking System ranks immigration candidates on the basis of factors like age, education, work experience, and proficiency in English/French.
The adaptability of rounds of invitation for immigration whereby specific and precise requirements of federal or provincial labor markets can be met by customizing the eligibility criteria of candidates.
BENEFITS OF CANADA EXPRESS ENTRY

Form of authority to release personal information to a designated individual
Other names in order to confirm aliases
Any other document that you feel is relevant to the application
Your Express Entry profile is the complete information about yourself that you give to IRCC for assessing your eligibility for Canada PR. Your profile will be checked, accepted to the candidate pool if it meets the eligibility criteria, and ranked according to a points-based system. 67-points, on a 100-point grid, will have to be secured by the candidate for being considered eligible for Canada Express Entry.
There are 6 factors assessed as part of Canada's Skilled Immigration Points Calculation.
Canada Express Entry – Skilled Immigration Points Calculator
Factor Maximum Points
Factor 1: Language skills 28
Factor 2: Education 25
Factor 3: Work Experience 15
Factor 4: Age 12
Factor 5: Arranged employment in Canada 10
Factor 6: Adaptability 10
Factor 1: Language skills
The ability to effectively communicate in one or both of the official languages of Canada will help the immigrant establish themselves in the Canadian labour market. Up to 28 points can be secured for language skills in English and French. Of these, up to 24 points can be got for the first official language. 4 points are set aside for the second official language. Points are allotted based on an individual's ability to read, write, speak, and listen to the language.
This ability is assessed on the basis of standardized language tests. IRCC accepts the following language tests for the Express Entry system.
For English IELTS: International English Language Testing System
CELPIP: Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program
For French TEF Canada: Test d'évaluation de français
TCF Canada: Test de connaissance du français
A minimum level of CLB 7 or NCLC 7 will be needed – for the first official language, in all four language abilities – to be able to apply through IRCC Express Entry.
To get the points for the second language ability, the minimum requirement is that of CLB 5 or NCLC 4 in all abilities assessed.

Note. 4 points are given only for a score of at least CLB 5 in each of the 4 language abilities. No points for CLB 4 or less in any of the 4 abilities.
Factor 2: Education
Those with foreign education will be required to get an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) report "for immigration purposes". An ECA Report is needed to establish the equivalency of your foreign credential to the Canadian level.
The ECA Report must establish that the foreign education acquired is equal to a completed diploma/degree/certificate from either a post-secondary or secondary institution in Canada.
The Canadian or foreign credential – along with the ECA Report in case of foreign credential – will have to be included when applying for Canada PR through the Express Entry system.

The work experience must have been gained while working at either –
Skill Type 0 (management jobs),
Skill Level A (professional jobs requiring a university degree), or
Skill Level B (technical jobs requiring a college diploma or apprentice training).
To claim points on the eligibility calculation, the work experience can be acquired in Canada or abroad.

RECEIVE AN ITA FOR CANADA PR
IRCC issues invitations to apply (ITAs) to immigration candidates who get the highest scores in the Express Entry pool.
Once invited, you will have 60 days to submit your Canada PR application.
Applying for permanent residence in Canada through the Express Entry system is by invitation-only. You cannot submit your application unless specifically invited by IRCC to do so.
It is the highest-ranked – as per the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score – that are invited to apply in the federal draws held from time to time.
A nomination by a province or territory part of the provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is worth 600 CRS points in itself, thereby guaranteeing an ITA by IRCC.

What is Express Entry?
Canada Express Entry is an online application management system used by IRCC for assessing and processing Canadian permanent residence applications from skilled foreign workers.
Is Express Entry a Canada immigration program?
No. Express Entry is not a program on its own. It is a system that manages applications for three programs – the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
Can I make more than one profiles in the Express Entry system of Canada?
No. Only one profile can be created per individual at any point in time.
Do I need a job in Canada to be eligible for Express Entry?
A job in Canada will get your points, thereby increasing the chances of your Canada PR visa being granted. A job offer in Canada is, however, not compulsory for applying to Express Entry.
What is the Canadian PNP?
Canada is made up of 10 provinces and three territories. Of these, 9 provinces and 2 territories are a part of the Canadian Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).
Under Canadian PNP, provincial and territorial governments nominate skilled workers for permanent residence.
To take the PNP route to Canada PR, you must intend to settle within the nominating province/territory after you gain permanent residence.
What is NOC code in Canada immigration?
Occupations available in the Canadian labour market are allotted a unique 4-digit code, as per the National Occupational Classification (NOC) code. This is referred to as the NOC code for that job.

1st Place Mid-size Chorus in Region 3, and 3rd Place overall !! - no small accomplishment in a region with a history of serious barbershop talent. This speaks very highly of Yahara's leadership - Director Jennifer Johnson and her fabulous music team; our wonderful coaches; our chorus section leaders and PVI team; and to our individual members' commitment and support for barbershop education and excellence. It's a real team effort. We felt good on that stage.
Drum Roll Please . . . By Request - First Place Region 3 Quartet! They sang with heart and soul and got a standing ovation. Las Vegas - look out! Our other three quartets: BassLine, DreamRide, and Charisma! all made us proud. Charisma! took double honors - 5th place overall and their 2nd Most Improved Quartet award. Almost 1/3 of our membership was represented on stage in competing quartets this year. That may be a record.
At the quartet class on Friday, most of the demonstration groups had a Yahara volunteer, from veterans like Sharon and Rachel to our new gal - Joy! Way to go!!!


What an absolute awesome team to work with! Everyone from the salesman to top management are full of integrity, Customer Care & Quality Care. You can really tell that they are proud of the quality of material they use, and they have pride in the way they take care of their clients from start to finish, they give 120%!
Thank you for taking excellent care of us! We will always recommend Rain Gutter Specialties and Exteriors!


Suspecting your microwave oven of slacking off on the job? Here's a quick and easy test that'll let you check your microwave oven's heating output without needing to buy fancy equipment; only things you'll need are a 1 liter PYREX glass bowl and a thermometer that can measure the temperature of hot water.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the bowl you are using is PYREX glass or another brand of glass that explicitly states it is microwave safe. DO NOT use plastic (inaccurate) or metal (DUH!).
1. Fill the PYREX bowl with water at room temperature. Record initial water temperature.
2. Run the microwave on high power for 2:03. Not 2:04, nor 2:02 except ye go on to 2:03. 2:05 is right out.
3. Record end water temperature.
If the microwave magnetron is working right, the minimum difference between the initial and ending temperature should be about 86℉. If it's much less than this, then you probably have a weak magnetron. If water temperature hardly changes at all, then there's something wrong with the high voltage section and you'll need to troubleshoot it. Suspects include: magnetron, HV transformer, HV capacitor, HV rectifier, and door interlock switch among others.
This entry was posted in Microwave Ovens on September 11, 2010 by Samurai Appliance Repair Man.
Your recommended test procedure is flawed. It is important to measure the quantity of water to be heated. One would receive varied results were they to heat 10 oz of water vs 30 oz of water.
FYI, a delta of 86 deg Fahrenheit would indicate a microwave oven outputting 1668 watts of cooking power for 1 liter of water.


SM Columbia Basin will be having a networking event on Tuesday September 11, 2018 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Applebee's in Kennewick. This event will involve watching short YouTube videos on soft skills and discussing them as groups with the intent to learn about how to better network and interact. The videos will be entertaining and informative as Kyle Root guides us through the short activities. The event starts at 5:30 p.m. and the activity will start at 6:00 p.m. and end at 7:00 p.m. The event will be held at Applebee's on Columbia Center Blvd. in Kennewick at no cost to you, with the exception of any food or drinks that you order. The format will be introvert friendly, so please join us.
ISM-CB member Lance Stephen has asked our membership for suggestions and interest in participation. Contact Lance directly with your ideas.
I would like to ask the ISM chapter a question. For the past 3 years we have put on an event called Careers in Manufacturing (CiM). This year, the event is in combination with the 2nd Tri City Connect (Oct 2/3). Our goal for this event is to make sure young persons are aware of the myriad of career options that do not require a 4 year degree. The grassroots group we have is an outstanding conglomeration of positive people and entities. In fact this year's event has been super-charged with Brian's help in getting Lamb Weston involved. To give you a feel of the event, I am forwarding our last team notes below.
Now to the point – our company who was helping design a Supply Chain station has had to pull out. Before we remove supply chain as a station for this event, I wanted to ask ISM if you had any ideas for how we could still do a simple Supply chain station.
In summary, a station is an interactive location where we can engage kids and tell them what the career path is – the more hands-on the better. A station should be engaging and informative (not a job fair, more a community service to make young adults aware of these careers).
Participating in a leadership role on the board is not only a great way to expand your knowledge of the operations of our local association, but also to further network with purchasing professionals in our area. The idea of an additional commitment can be a little scary with our busy lives and schedules, but in reality, most of the time, the commitment is limited to a single meeting for an hour and half each month outside of the regular dinner meeting.
If you have a desire to participate, but can't commit to a regular time schedule, please let us know and we can accommodate you and help you build on your career goals and objectives.
Please contact any member of our leadership team to discuss how you can get involved.
Location: Classes will be held via GoTo Meeting with a conference call. GoTo Meeting invitations with access codes will be sent to registered attendees on the Tuesday before each class.
Cost: $99 for the 4 week session. Register with Thea Prince at (509) 625-6403.
CPSM Study Guide from ISM is required.
CPSM Exam Self-Study Workbook from ISM is optional.
CPSM Diagnostic Kit from ISM is optional but recommended.
ISM-CB Education Exchange - building a professional network.
Share educational opportunities and the benefits of an expanded professional network with your colleagues. Many professional organizations offer valuable educational opportunities. Most welcome non-members to participate.
ISM-CB professional network exchange is our way of encouraging communication and discussion among our members. Sharing information, expertise and experience are just some of the many benefits of membership. Networking with other members is a great way to build a professional support team.


Is Mt LeConte Weather Seasonal?
One of the most important things to consider when visiting and hiking Mt LeConte is the weather. Although the mountain is in a region that enjoys a mild climate with four distinct seasons, Mt LeConte weather conditions vary considerably depending on elevation and do not necessarily reflect the conditions of the city below due to the great difference in elevation.
At 6,593 feet, Mt LeConte is the third highest peak in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. When measured from its immediate base to its highest point, however, Mt LeConte is considered to be the tallest mountain in the entire Eastern United States, rising 5,301 feet from its base near Gatlinburg.
While the mountain does experience seasonal weather changes, and there may be better times to plan a hike than others, Mt LeConte weather has a climate with cool summers and cold, snowy winters. The climate is significantly cooler and fairly wetter than Gatlinburg's. The lowest temperature ever recorded was -32°F and the highest temperature recorded at Mt LeConte was 85°F.
Spring – As with the surrounding area in lower elevations, Mt LeConte experiences rapid changes in weather with sunny mornings turning into chilly evenings by the end of the day. Freezing temperatures are still common at night.
Summer – Both lower and high elevations enjoy nice weather throughout the summer season. Although, lower elevations experience fairly high temperatures with occasional thunderstorms and showers leaving muggy afternoons in their wake. Mt LeConte weather is a great deal more pleasant on these days with temperatures above 80°F being a rarity.
Fall – As temperatures begin to drop and frosts and overnight freezes become possible in lower elevations, Mt LeConte also taps into upcoming winter weather with snowfall becoming a possibility by November.
Winter – Mid-November through February reveals the greatest temperature and weather contrast between lower and higher elevations with the mountains enjoying dustings of snowfall while lower elevations may not see more than a flurry or two for the year as they continue to still enjoy warm temperatures reaching the 70s. In the low elevations, snows of 1″ or more occur 1-5 times a year. Snow falls more frequently in the higher mountains and up to two feet can fall during a storm. January and February are the months when one is most likely to find snow in the mountains.
Clothes – Clothes made from moisture-wicking fabrics – fabrics that capture moisture, move it away from your skin, and redistribute it to accelerate drying time – are your best bet when hiking in the Smoky Mountains, especially in Mt LeConte weather. These fabrics help keep you cool and dry when you're hot, but can also be worn in layers and under insulating shells, keeping you dry regardless of how warm or cold you become.
Shoes – While tennis shoes are typically all you need for an easy day hike in the Smokies, hiking boots are great for longer hikes like Mt LeConte. Just make sure they're comfortable and have good traction to prevent slipping.
What to Bring – Pack for the weather you're expecting as well as weather conditions that seem unlikely. An extra pair of socks, rain gear, extra layers, water and a snack don't require much space in your pack and are lightweight if distributed correctly.

Back when the CX-5 SUV was revealed in 2016, Mazda promised a diesel model was on its way. Then, we heard nothing. Frankly, we expected that it wouldn't make it to the US, given the increased difficulty in getting diesel passenger cars certified in the post-Volkswagen-scandal era. But today at the 2019 New York International Auto Show, Mazda announced that the diesel-powered CX-5 is here.
The long-awaited diesel is a 2.2-liter four-cylinder with twin sequential turbochargers, making 168 horsepower and a massive 290 lb-ft of torque. The diesel will only be offered in the top-of-the-line CX-5, the all-wheel drive Signature model, priced at $41,000. That's over $4000 more than equivalent CX-5 Signature with the 2.5-liter turbo gas engine.
The diesel gets an EPA-estimated 27 mpg in the city, 30 on the highway, 28 combined. That's better than the all-wheel drive gas model, though a CX-5 with the 2.5-liter naturally aspirated gas engine and front-wheel drive manages 25 mpg in the city, 31 highway and 28 combined.
Mazda will be one of the only automakers to offer a diesel passenger car in the US when the optional engine arrives. All the German brands have discontinued their US diesels, leaving only Jaguar-Land Rover and GM building non-pickup diesels. In the CX-5's segment, the twinned Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain offer a 1.6-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder that gets up to 39 mpg highway per the EPA.
Mazda first promised a diesel passenger car for the US back in 2012, teasing a possible diesel-powered 6 sedan. The automaker had trouble getting its Skyactiv-D engine certified for sale in the US, and the 6 diesel was eventually canceled. Now, finally, a diesel Mazda is here. The CX-5 Diesel Signature is available for pre-order right now.
