The civilian review board working group released their final recommendations on Wednesday to Mayor Andrew Ginther and City Council President Shannon Hardin, both of whom accepted the recommendations.
The 17 recommendations — resulting from seven meetings between August and December — are broken down into two categories: composition and structure, and functions and powers. They cover everything from how many members should exist on the board, who should appoint members, qualifications for the inspector general as well as member diversity, training and investigative powers, among other things.
(Read the full list of recommendations at the bottom of this story.)
"With the civilian review board working group's recommendations in-hand now, council will hold additional hearings at the start of the new year," Shannon Hardin, city council president, said during a press conference. "Rebuilding trust and improving accountability in the division of police is a critical component to re-imagining safety here."
Beginning today, the city is accepting applications from residents and non-residents to the civilian review board, Ginther also announced during the conference. The application can be found here.
Glenn McEntyre, assistant director of the Department of Public Safety, wrote in an email to Matter on December 7 that the city expects "to seat the board in the first weeks of 2021."

A civilian review board was recommended by the city's 2018 Safety Advisory Commission, a group separate from the current review board working group. The 16 members of the current working group were seated in July, a month after protesters against police brutality were met with force and riot gear in Columbus.
And in November, Columbus voters took that reform a step further by overwhelmingly passing a charter amendment giving the City the power to create the civilian review board, a group meant to investigate individual instances of police misconduct and use-of-force allegations.
Within that charter was a commitment by City Council to create a budget for the board that will not be reduced unless "financial circumstances dictate an overall reduction to the City's budget," the charter states.
Council has allocated a $1 million budget for the civilian review board, Hardin said, but no members will be paid — only the inspector general and their investigators.
"It will not be a paid position," Ginther said during the press conference. "We expect the inspector general and his or her investigators will be full-time, but the civilian review board members will not."
Ginther also said during the press conference that not only will the review board be racially diverse, it will also seat members of varying economic status. When asked how Ginther and City Council will ensure low-income residents or non-residents will have a fair opportunity to join the board if they will not receive compensation, Robin Davis, a spokeswoman for the mayor's office, reiterated Ginther's comments and added this in an emailed statement:
"The board will not require full-time participation and will not preclude them from jobs."
After the applications are reviewed by Ginther and City Council in the coming month, Mayor Ginther will begin making his recommendations to the civilian review board, and council will approve the appointment Once the board is fully seated, the board — which is tasked with investigating individual instances of police misconduct — will then appoint an inspector general, whose role is to look into broader policies and patterns of behavior within the division.
The recommendations from the working group also include notes about the inspector general. Read the full text of the recommendations:

I know that many of you might scoff at the notion of considering a career in music, but I have some strong opinions on the subject (what else is new?). Before we take on any details regarding this issue, I'd like to dispel one of the most common myths about careers in the music field.
As you might imagine, I interview prospective students on a routine basis. One line that I hear over and over again is "I really don't have any professional music aspirations. I'm just doing it for my own pleasure." Well, guess what, folks? Doing it for your own pleasure is the only path available, and we'd be hard-pressed indeed to cite even one example of a well-known artist who actually achieved notability and financial success by any other means. Fame and money aside, you simply have to love your craft with "no strings attached" (pardon the pun) to eventually be in a position to consider it as a career. And even the love by itself is not enough if that infatuation is not accompanied by an obsessive drive to study hard and steadily improve your ability.
Now that we're clear on "where" the motivation should logically come from, let's take a moment to look at just how realistic a career in music might be.
In the first place, is making a living in music realistic at all? I believe that the answer to that question lies in two areas of personal viewpoint. One is the magnitude of importance that you place on doing something in your life that you love doing, despite the social gamble of leading an "alternative" lifestyle that doesn't necessarily guarantee financial security. The second lies in your imagination, and how broad you can envision careers in the music field to be. These two viewpoints are definitely related, because if your imagination allows you to creatively see a number of possibilities to explore, the decision doesn'tseem as much of a gamble after all. Make sense?
As long as I can remember, people in general seem glued to a very limited concept of a musician's way of life. I find that it's usually in extremes. On the one hand, you have the tiny minority of musical "super-stars" (most often vocalists), who are instantly recognized by both their music and their appearances on television and concert stages the world over. Now we pan to the other extreme, that of the "club" performer who continually faces the dilemma of being underpaid to work in some very sleazy situations, often in front of people too drunk or disinterested to know a guitar from a tuba. Like I said, these are extreme examples. Is there something else in between? Other alternatives? Of course.
The music world is truly enormous when you really think about it, but to find a niche for yourself involves some creative vision, both in achieving the broader perception of possibilities that I mentioned above, and in arming yourself with the musical tools to take advantage of your opportunities. For me, one of the biggest factors has been in being versatile, which has put me in a position where I can present my ability in a variety of different scenarios. While it's not necessary for me to list all of my specific accomplishments, the bottom line is that I arrived at a career in music by simply following my heart. You know, "for my own pleasure?"

Q: Convert CTE to better performing query I have a CTE query that updates a single column in a table with approx 2.5 millions rows. I let the query run and it took about 16 hours!! How can I update this procedure so it will be faster? I read that SELECT INTO and create a new table should be a better way. I just dont know how to convert this CTE into a SELECT INTO.
WITH CubeWithRowNumber
AS (
    SELECT rownum = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (
            ORDER BY CustomerId,
                Period
            ),
        c.Period,
        c.CustomerId,
        c.PayDate,
        NS_Regular,
        NS_Single,
        NySales
    FROM Cube2 c
    )
UPDATE Cube2
SET MonthlySales = (
    SELECT
       CASE
         WHEN YEAR(cu.Period) = YEAR(cu.PayDate)
             THEN cu.NySales
         ELSE
           CASE
             WHEN prev.Period IS NULL
               OR YEAR(cu.Period) <> YEAR(prev.Period)
                 THEN cu.NS_Regular + cu.NS_Single
             ELSE cu.NS_Regular + cu.NS_Single - prev.NS_Regular - prev.NS_Single
           END
         END AS Result
     FROM CubeWithRowNumber cu
     LEFT JOIN CubeWithRowNumber prev
         ON prev.rownum = cu.rownum - 1
             AND cu.CustomerId = prev.CustomerId
     WHERE cu.CustomerId = Cube2.CustomerId
         AND cu.Period = Cube2.Period)

A: I don't think you need to reference the table three times.  Your CTE is updatable, so I think the following is equivalent:
WITH CubeWithRowNumber AS (
      SELECT c.*,
             rownum = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY  CustomerId, Period),
      FROM Cube2 c
     )
UPDATE CubeWithRowNumber crn
     SET MonthlySales = (SELECT (CASE WHEN YEAR(crn.Period) = YEAR(crn.PayDate)
                                      THEN crn.NySales
                                      ELSE (CASE WHEN prev.Period IS NULL OR YEAR(crn.Period <> YEAR(prev.Period)
                                                 THEN crn.NS_Regular + crn.NS_Single
                                                 ELSE crn.NS_Regular + crn.NS_Single - prev.NS_Regular - prev.NS_Single
                                            END)
                                 END) AS Result
                         FROM CubeWithRowNumber prev
                         WHERE prev.rownum = crn.rownum - 1 AND crn.CustomerId = prev.CustomerId
                        );

There might be further optimizations along these lines, although if you are using a more recent version of SQL Server, the lag() function would be a better choice.

A: Try inserting the data into #temp table:
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY  CustomerId, Period) as rownum,
       c.Period, c.CustomerId, c.PayDate, NS_Regular, NS_Single, NySales
INTO #tmp_Cube
FROM Cube2 c

Then use that in your update:
UPDATE Cube2
SET MonthlySales=
  ( SELECT CASE
               WHEN YEAR(cu.Period)=YEAR(cu.PayDate)
                    THEN cu.NySales
               ELSE CASE
                        WHEN prev.Period IS NULL
                             OR YEAR(cu.Period)<>YEAR(prev.Period)
                        THEN cu.NS_Regular + cu.NS_Single
                        ELSE cu.NS_Regular + cu.NS_Single - prev.NS_Regular - prev.NS_Single
                    END
           END AS RESULT
   FROM #tmp_Cube cu
   LEFT JOIN #tmp_Cube prev ON prev.rownum = cu.rownum - 1
   AND cu.CustomerId = prev.CustomerId
   WHERE cu.CustomerId=Cube2.CustomerId
     AND cu.Period=Cube2.Period)

Some of the delays are likely to be caused by your use of the CTE with such a large volume of data. However, you might still see some delays with my solution, hopefully less, because you are still joining the #temp table to itself with FROM #tmp_Cube cu LEFT JOIN #tmp_Cube prev ON prev.rownum = cu.rownum - 1, which is going to impact performance to a degree with the amount of rows you're working with.
Take a read of this answer:
What's the difference between a CTE and a Temp Table?
Quote from the answer:

As far as when to use each, they have very different use cases. If you will have a very large result set, or need to refer to it more
  than once, put it in a #temp table. If it needs to be recursive, is
  disposable, or is just to simplify something logically, a CTE is
  preferred.
Also, a CTE should never be used for performance. You will almost
  never speed things up by using a CTE, because, again, it's just a
  disposable view. You can do some neat things with them but speeding up
  a query isn't really one of them.

A: It's possible to avoid calling the CTE twice by remodelling the query
UPDATE Cube2 SET
  MonthlySales = CASE WHEN YEAR(cu.Period) = YEAR(cu.PayDate)
                           THEN cu.NySales
                      WHEN YEAR(cu.Period) <> YEAR(COALESCE(prev.Period, 0))
                           THEN cu.NS_Regular + cu.NS_Single
                      ELSE cu.NS_Regular + cu.NS_Single
                         - prev.NS_Regular - prev.NS_Single
                 END
FROM Cube2 cu
     CROSS APPLY (SELECT TOP 1 Period, NS_Regular, NS_Single
                  FROM   cube2
                  WHERE  cu.CustomerId = cube2.CustomerId
                    AND  cu.Period > cube2.Period
                  ORDER BY Period Desc) prev;

that can improve the performances, even more if supported by an index on CustomerId and Period, but introduce an ORDER BY that is somewhat costly, so you may want to check it on a reduced set of data.
Another little trouble is that CROSS APPLY is like a INNER JOIN and the first period for every customer have not previous period. To fix that it's possible to change the CROSS APPLY to an OUTER APPLY that is like a LEFT JOIN, but that will destroy the perfomances, or we can create some values from nothing. Coalescing a grouping function can do that: if there is the row its values it will remain the same, if the subquery is empty the MAX (or MIN or AVG, your choice) will create a new row, as the MAX of a table with no rows is NULL.
The updated UPDATE is:
UPDATE Cube2 SET
  MonthlySales = CASE WHEN YEAR(cu.Period) = YEAR(cu.PayDate)
                           THEN cu.NySales
                      WHEN YEAR(cu.Period) <> YEAR(COALESCE(prev.Period, 0))
                           THEN cu.NS_Regular + cu.NS_Single
                      ELSE cu.NS_Regular + cu.NS_Single
                         - prev.NS_Regular - prev.NS_Single
                 END
FROM Cube2 cu
     CROSS APPLY (SELECT COALESCE(MAX(Period), 0) Period
                       , COALESCE(MAX(NS_Regular), 0) NS_Regular
                       , COALESCE(MAX(NS_Single), 0) NS_Single
                  FROM   (SELECT TOP 1 Period, NS_Regular, NS_Single
                          FROM   cube2
                          WHERE  cu.CustomerId = cube2.CustomerId
                            AND  cu.Period > cube2.Period
                          ORDER BY Period Desc) a
                  ) prev;

there is some extra work for the grouping, but hopefully not that much.
Sometime converting the CASE logic to math operator can help to further improve performances but in addition to the fact that it doesn't work always the query become less readable.
If you want to try it here is the version converted
UPDATE Cube2 SET
  MonthlySales
  = cu.NySales * (1 - CAST((YEAR(cu.Period) - YEAR(cu.PayDate)) as BIT))
  + (cu.NS_Regular + cu.NS_Single)
  * (0 + CAST(YEAR(cu.Period) - YEAR(COALESCE(prev.Period, 0)) as BIT))
  * (0 + CAST((YEAR(cu.Period) - YEAR(cu.PayDate)) as BIT))
  + (cu.NS_Regular + cu.NS_Single - prev.NS_Regular - prev.NS_Single)
  * (1 - CAST(YEAR(cu.Period) - YEAR(COALESCE(prev.Period, 0)) as BIT))
  * (0 + CAST((YEAR(cu.Period) - YEAR(cu.PayDate)) as BIT))
FROM Cube2 cu
     CROSS APPLY (SELECT COALESCE(MAX(Period), 0) Period
                       , COALESCE(MAX(NS_Regular), 0) NS_Regular
                       , COALESCE(MAX(NS_Single), 0) NS_Single
                  FROM   (SELECT TOP 1 Period, NS_Regular, NS_Single
                          FROM   cube2
                          WHERE  cu.CustomerId = cube2.CustomerId
                            AND  cu.Period > cube2.Period
                          ORDER BY Period Desc) a
                  ) prev;

Here's how to make pancakes. Chelsea's Sunday Pancake Recipe is super easy and quick. Enjoy with Chelsea Syrup - Golden, Maple or Honey Maple. And don't limit yourself to eating them just on Sunday!
Sift the flour and Chelsea White Sugar into a bowl. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients. Add the lemon zest, milk, egg and melted butter/margarine and whisk to combine. Heat a large non stick frying pan over medium low heat and grease lightly with butter or oil.
For each pancake, place 2 tablespoons of batter into the pan. Cook for 2 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface. Turn and cook for a further 1 to 2 minutes or until the pancakes are cooked through.
Garnish with berries, bananas and Chelsea Maple Flavoured Syrup or Chelsea Honey Maple Flavoured Syrup.
Double this recipe if you prefer a larger portion of pancakes!
I loved the taste and the texture of them, yum!
I absolutely LOVE making these pancakes, my whole family loves them.
My pancakes didn't come out like that pancakey.
Thank you so much. My family love the recipe.
I made these for my family and they loved them, I didn't like them at first. The batters was better than the cooked pancakes. However, the more I ate the more I enjoyed. Would be better with more sugar.
I love to cook them for my family and they love it. They are so easy to make and very yummy and quick to make.
Wow, this recipe was fantastic! Really loved the idea of putting syrup in it, it made it delicious!
Anyone can make this pancake for their loved ones. It's simple, affordable, and so amazing. Thanks.
Need some adjustments for family that eats a lot although is very yum.
I'm 11 and love baking. I wanted somthing sweet for breakfast and this was so easy and fast to make. Loved it.
This is the most tasty pancakes ever I loved it and I give it 5/5.
My favorite pancake recipe I have found! Absolutely delicious!
Looks amazing, tastes amazing and is amazing. Love everything.
Made these with my class, kids loved it, easy to make, and tasty. Added some tears of vanilla just to give it that lovely aroma. Delectable!
I really loved this pancake recipe as it did not make too much like other pancake recipes do. It was really yummy! I also added a dash of vanilla because I do that to almost every recipe and this made it even more delicious!
Really good recipe! Made these a couple of times and absolutely love them!
Perfect on a cool Saturday morning, kids just loved them.
Amazing, just what I needed.
WOW.. super quick and delicious. I only added 1 TBLSP of sugar as with lashings of maple syrup I didn't want to make them too sweet. Will be definitely on my go to list from now on.
Amazing. The recipe is so easy to follow; I'm only eleven years old and I made them with no parent help first time. They are also delicious and they really fill you up.
This was an easy recipe for me to bake,I will definitely be baking this again!
The recipe is fine but how the hell do you sift sugar!!!
This recipe was real easy to make! My first one flopped but all my others were really good! couldn't stop eating them!! the only reason it's not a 5 star is because of that first one but other than that it's one of the best pancake recipe i have tried!
A little bit too sweet but loved it. Next time I added less sugar and it was less sweet so maybe you should do that next time.
This is a great recipe it makes great pancakes and also great pikelets. Is great with chocolate chips.
Classic kiwi pancake recipe that can't be beat!
My Moko's breakfast favourite every time. They look forward to it every time they stay over. Topped with maple syrup, bananas. Love it.
Do u have to put lemon zest?
CHELSEA: Hi there, no the lemon zest is not essential in this recipe.
Wow!! this pancakes is a very awesome recipe. Thanks for sharing this nice pancake recipe.
OMG, these are so quick and easy and SSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOO DELICIOUS!!!!!
My wife, kids and colleagues have called this "to die for". The zest adds an amazing flavor that makes even the staunch pancake detesters (myself) want to make them on a regular basis.
Great recipe. The grandkids love them. If they don't work out for you, you're probably doing something wrong. Have another go.
Thank you for this recipe. Tried out the recipe today and the kids loved the pancakes.
This recipe is amazing I made it for my mum for her birthday breakfast in bed and she said the recipe is awesome.
Thank you Chelsea for your recipes my family and I love them!
margarine is one number away from being alkathine.
not good for humans to eat.
It is just wonderful. I love all the Chelsea recipes and they really excite me.
A lovely wee treat to start the day. I "encourage' my fiancé to make these for me every morning!
I've just literally made these pancakes and to tell you the truth both my son and I were disappointed. They do not resemble the picture and looked like they were deflated. As for feeding 3 people I don't think so. I won't be making this recipe again.
This pancake recipe is delicious - I tried cut up strawberries to top my pancakes and they were so good!
I also tried adding blueberries into the mixture to make blueberry pancakes - yum!
Great quick recipe and they all love the maple syrup with bananas and crispy bacon.
I have always used this recipe. The grandkids love it when I make them. Usually I will beat the egg and sugar first until it is light and fluffy then add the rest of the ingredients. Very good.
We made it and ate it.
I absolutely love this recipe!! Has made my pancakes sooo much tastier. Thank you!! Have passed on my new found wisdom already.
I normally do my pancakes like a crepe and everyone loves them. However gave these ago as I had a huge brunch at my place today with overseas relative..and they went down a treat!! I 8x the recipe as I had a big crowd but the mixture fed 15 adults and six kids who love pancakes..I would make again. (I made them in a small fry pan) so they were even size but it worked a treat with all the other food! And it was a good time to break out the Canadian maple syrup I had been saving for a special occasion.
Fantastic easy recipe! Makes me question why I ever used the shake bottle pancakes! These are quicker and so much tastier!
The best of all my pancake recipes, really nice.
Delicious quick and easy, I make these pancakes at least 3 times a week! My family loves them and most of all me!
I suppose everybody should have all the ingredients!
They're light and fluffy and moist, really good for Saturday too.
This is the first time I have made pancakes from scratch, and they turned out perfectly delicious. My kids loved them. Will definitely be making them again. Thank you.
this is the best pancake recipe - a must try!!
Delicious! Fluffy and crunchy on the outside and so easy to make!
This is delicious! Great for Saturday mornings too!
Delicious pancakes, come out perfect every time!
Delicious and easy to follow. But needs more sugar.
I often make these on the weekend. They are the nicest pancake I have ever made. Light and fluffy!
I went through a stage of making these literally every week. I absolutely love them and think they are the best I have ever tasted! Super quick and easy to make and delicious to eat!
Great pancakes, they are very much like hotcakes which is how I like them. Great with the Chelsea Golden Syrup, lemons and bananas. Made these this morning and were delish!!!
I loved the taste. However if your feeding boys or big eaters this won't feed four let along two. I doubled the mixture and found it feed four adults.
Looks scrumptious, I thought they were called by a different name as pancakes in the country where I was born are paper thin! Am cooking these this weekend!
Delicious, thanks for sharing this recipe.
Absolutely great and helpful! STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS RECIPE!
My daughter and I often have pancakes for Sunday breakfast. This morning she wanted different ones to our usual traditional pancake recipe. So I tried this recipe and WOW they are delish! More like hot cakes though. She just told me she wants them everyday! Yum!
I use this recipe almost every weekend, and it is so easy. The results are amazing and so yummy, I recommend this recipe.
This is a very easy recipe, and tastes delicious. It was a hit with my fussy children as well. Just need to double the recipe for more pancakes.
it 's really great :) love this recipe good for my younger siblings!
Excellent! Easy, the lemon flavour is delicious. This has to be the best pancake recipe.
Yum! Made for dinner as a special treat, needed 3 batches to full two hungry adults and a child.
Very easy recipe for pancakes, and beautiful and light. I used soy and dairy free marg too. I doubled it and made enough for 4 adults and two preschoolers for lunch.
Just made this delicious pancakes, instead of lemon I use orange, lovely recipe.

The Green River Lakes Lodge is located 50 miles north of Pinedale, Wyoming. The lodge is available as a rental for day use events such as weddings, family reunion, or meetings for up to 50 guests, or as an overnight rental for smaller groups of up to 12 guests.
This lodge is set upon the lakeshore of the lower Green River Lake, at an elevation of 8,000 feet. A commanding view of Square Top can be seen right from the living room of the 2 bedroom/2 bath rental unit. The lower lake sits on the western edge of the rugged Wind River Range and the Bridger Wilderness. The area is replete with wildlife and provides access to scenic mountain views, as well as plentiful opportunities for recreation.
During the summer months, hiking and horseback riding into the Bridger Wilderness and Wind River Range are popular activities enjoyed by visitors to the area. The lake is open to small watercraft only, making it an excellent location for canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boarding. There is a small boat launch located on the lakeshore, but turnaround space is limited and the access route steep. Anglers fish for brook, cutthroat, rainbow and Mackinaw trout. Fall and winter opportunities abound also, from hunting and late season hiking to snowmobiling and ice fishing on the lower lake.
The cabin contains flush toilets and showers (summer only), propane and wood heat, and the lodge is furnished. The master room has an outstanding view of the lake, a double bed, its own fireplace and its own bathroom. The second bedroom has two twin bunk beds and an attached bathroom. A propane refrigerator and stove are provided for your culinary delights, while dinners are shared overlooking the lake. Although the cabin has several amenities, guests do need to provide their own food, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, linens, towels, dish soap, matches, first aid kit, toilet paper and garbage bags. Firewood may be available, but it is not guaranteed. Lighting may be available, however guests are advised to bring an additional light source in case of emergency. The cabin will need to be cleaned before leaving and basic cleaning equipment is provided.
Nearby is a developed campground, and trails for non-motorized use including the popular Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, as well as fishing and canoeing on the lake. During the winter months, a system of groomed snowmobile trails provide access to the lodge. Pinedale is the nearest full service community, and is located 50 miles south of Green River Lakes.
From Pinedale, drive 7 miles west on U.S. Highway 191. Turn north onto Wyoming Highway 352 and continue 25 miles to the forest boundary, where the pavement ends. Continue on the dirt road for 18 miles to the campground. The cabin can be accessed by vehicle; however, it is a rough, native surface road. Four-wheel drive is highly recommended as well. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety. During winter months, lodge access is via 18 miles of groomed snowmobile trails.

15 Aug Credit Reports and Bankruptcy?
As a Bankruptcy Attorney, I have an obligation to my client to help them achieve a Fresh Start by obtaining a Discharge in Bankruptcy. The Bankruptcy Discharge is only as good as the information contained in the Bankruptcy Petition and Schedules. Accordingly, we pull credit reports for each and every bankruptcy client of the firm. I watch my clients faces when we review the credit reports, and I can tell that many trade-lines on the report are clearly inaccurate.
Yesterday, my client had a trade line stating that a debt was owed since 1988. If this information was true, it would need to be removed, but more importantly, the client was horrified because they were only 15 years old at the time and did not have a repossession. Each day, the inaccurate reporting seems to get worse, I cannot remember the last time that a client's credit report was accurate. After thinking about this for a few minutes you realize that this inaccurate trade-line may have cost this person a higher interest rate on the mortgage and car loan, thereby costing them tens of thousands or maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Additionally, I heard a statistic on the radio that said over 80% of credit reports have issues. Not too long ago, it was said that 50% of people had credit report issues. I am starting to believe that the number may very well be 80% or higher. I was shocked when I took on my own credit report fight. It wasn't as difficult as you may think. You need to be diligent and detail oriented on this task, but the results can pay dividends.
After the bankruptcy process has been completed, you will need to review your credit reports to make sure they are correct, and then you will need to monitor the credit reports at least once a year to keep on top of the creditors. Many bankruptcy attorneys and consumer advocates help their clients with the problem creditors. I believe that any creditors that fail to abide by the laws are violating the discharge injunction.
There are many posts on this site about how to remove negative information on your credit reports. Please do it now, do it today.


The population is ageing at an unprecedented rate and with the NHSstruggling for bed space; people are being discharged from hospital earlier, increasing the need for healthcare at home. It's a trend that is set to continue well into the future. Home healthcare has been a big topic of conversation in the news in recent months and the findings of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) report (Not Just a Number, 2013) only strengthened the argument that, in order for care organisations to effectively deliver the standards of care required things in the industry need to change, and fast.
A few years ago I worked as a carer for a private home healthcare organisation. As a carer, I provided a range of home-based care services to the elderly and those requiring care as a result of a hospital stay or terminal illness. The majority of care companies work by scheduling carers and appointments using an old fashioned nursing rota system which doesn't allow for complex scheduling, reassigning shifts or the high turnover within the industry. This has a negative impact on the service provided. I saw on the front line the physical and mental anguish that late or missed appointments have on patients and their families. I experienced the disorganised and disjointed approach to shift management and the pressure this put onto carers to deliver high quality care in a shift plan that hadn't even taken into consideration how long it took to get to the appointment.
Frustrated with the situation, I became a care manager and experienced the chaos that ensues when someone calls in sick and you have to find cover for their shift. The sensitive and complex nature of healthcare requires a robust system that can assign a carer to a patient taking into account the skills required and the geographic location – a task that's complicated enough when done manually but even more so when you factor in that most carers are employed on zero hours contracts and all work different shift patterns. Patient care plans are in place for a number of reasons and appointments are subsequently scheduled to take into consideration patients' meals and, more importantly, medication. Movement of an appointment time by the smallest degree can be, at least, distressing but also potentially dangerous. Patients, particularly the elderly, are vulnerable and knowing who is coming to their home and at what time is crucial; changes can have a massive impact on that person's wellbeing.
There were a number of significant findings and recommendations that came from the CQC report, but the top priorities to address included a lack of continuity, missed or late calls, inconsistencies at weekends, a lack of coordination when visits required two or more carers and a failure to keep patients and their families informed of change.
Now looking back on this situation from my role here at Leadent Solutions, I can see the massive benefits that an optimised mobile workforce strategy could provide to a home healthcare organisation. By taking advantage of the latest scheduling, rostering and mobile technologies, care plans could be effectively delivered providing better outcomes for the patients and a more satisfactory working environment for the carer. These outcomes would prove beneficial for the healthcare organisation, which maintains its reputation, satisfies all the requirements of the Care Quality Commission and provides updates in real time to carer, patient and office at the touch of a button. The technology that provides this capability is mature, proven and relied upon by many service industries; it's time the healthcare industry embraced workforce optimisation.

Happy Sunday! I'm up on the blog today for Whimsie Doodles sharing this card I made for my niece Abbey who looks very much like this adorable image - Stuck on You Leah which can be found here.
Whimsie Doodles has so many fun Valentine images, it is sooo hard for me to choose! For those of you who haven't tried digital images - you really should! It's so easy, and you don't have to worry where or how to store them!
oh, super cute card Cathy! Awesome colouring too!


Seeing visions of what I want of my own, most. Stuck chasing ghosts in the quick reflections of my peripherals. I create in a way so that it feels spiritual. Tapped into my inner g to keep distracting me from my rear view. I need to go where the sun brighter, skin tighter cause sun kissed traditions, im talking bout west coast dreaming. This lifestyle too bright for my present cause I can see my future beaming.

'Neglect' of Bletchley condemned
24th July 2008 3 min read Andy
A call to save Bletchley Park has gone out from the UK's computer scientists.
Many parts of Bletchley Park are showing their age.
More than 100 academics have signed a letter to The Times saying the code-cracking centre and crucible of the UK computer industry deserves better.
They say Bletchley, Buckinghamshire, should be put on a secure financial basis like other "great museums".
"We cannot allow this crucial and unique piece of both British and World heritage to be neglected in this way," the letter to The Times said.
The academics were brought together by Dr Sue Black, head of the computer science department at the University of Westminster, who was moved to act after visiting Bletchley Park in early July.
"I went up there and felt quite upset by what I saw," she said.
Many of the buildings on the Bletchley estate were in a state of serious disrepair, she said. One building, where code-breakers worked during World War II, was falling apart, said Dr Black, and was protected by a blue tarpaulin that was nailed down over it.
Describing Bletchley as a "gem", Dr Black said it was a "national disgrace" that such a historic site was being allowed to fall into ruin.
"I do not know why they do not have funding as a national museum," she said.
The visit led her to contact other heads of computer science departments at universities up and down the country. Within hours, she had hundreds of responses – all of them backing her call.
Dr Black said she had been "overwhelmed" by the response which showed the depth of feeling about Bletchley and the position it occupies in the history of the computer age.
Bletchley Park is well known as the place where the Enigma codes were broken but it is also the place where Colossus was created – a machine that was the forerunner of many modern computers.
The engineers that worked on Colossus at Bletchley helped define and develop the UK computer industry after WWII ended, said Dr Black.
What was needed, she said, was for Bletchley Park to get secure funding from the government. Until recently the site was deemed ineligible for Lottery funding that would help preserve it.
A change to the rules on who can get funds has led to negotiations with the Lottery Fund. However, said Dr Black, it could still take up to a year for funds to materialise.
In the meantime, said Dr Black, the site was falling into an ever worse state of disrepair.

Yunnan: Dali, Lijiang & Shangri-la; how many days?
MmePerdu, thanks for clarifying. I got another email today showing the extent of China's pollution seen by satellite. When I have a specific travel question, I'll ask them.
BTW, I've just "discovered" a different tour operator to get a private journey quote from....China Highlights. While I've been going back and forth about doing this on my own (especially after reading Peter NH's previous posts about why you shouldn't use one), I will sleep better at night if I can trust all the logistics to local knowledge and assistance. There are extensive positive reviews of this company on TA.
I've come around to the idea that a well chosen tour operator can be useful for a first trip to a new culture when you don't speak the language and don't have a long time to stay and figure it all out. It can be the practical compromise.
The main complaints from disappointed tour takers seem to be group size, quality of the food and many stops for shopping "opportunities". Knowledgeable travelers in China also say that the history presented is largely invented so you might want to look for your information from outside sources if that's important to you.
Regarding shopping at stops along the way, not sure how this can be avoided since apparently the kickbacks from merchants are a sizable portion of the guides' income. It may be inevitable. But do make a big point of asking and insist that you don't make these stops and maybe they'll be reduced to a minimum. And I'd guess that group size could be related to food quality as it's easier to feed a large group at a buffet. So if your group is very small then that may make a difference.
But all this is hearsay as I've only traveled independently in Yunnan, my only China experience, where I spent a month. I have to tell you that the places you plan to visit are on a well-trodden tourist path and I see no reason why you'd have to put up with the down side of a tour where you plan to go. I suggest you investigate every detail offered and ask for changes of items that aren't your first choice if this is, in fact, a custom tour. Often I think the recommendations people make of tour companies come from those who have never traveled any other way so don't know what fun it can be to have the option of spontaneity and possibly a much better all around experience. I think one can pay a huge price for the convenience of a tour, even the relative good ones.
The China Highlights site addresses the shopping issue and claims no forced shopping visits. Since our itinerary is being developed for just my husband and I, we have flexibility and the final word in what we want to do....and I do want to do "some" quality shopping. They also claim you don't eat at dumbed down tourist haunts but at local, authentic places. We're also on our own at dinner, which I think is a good thing. A lot of their good press on TA does come from independent travel people who say this is the first tour they've taken.
But given all that, I'm still coming up with what I'd pay to book this all independently. If there's a big difference, I'll go it alone and risk the inconveniences. I can arrange transfers from all the hotels I'm staying at and I've already tracked down a lot of good independent local guides. I guess I'm most concerned about last minute flight problems and getting them resolved, standing in long lines to get admission tickets, boarding passes, etc., knowing where to go biking or hiking without getting lost, help in deciphering menus, and lastly, but hopefully will not be an issue, what if there's a disaster (like an earthquake) and no one is aware where we are or how to get us out.
Let me see if I can address any of the concerns.
1. Last minute flights. In China it's much more the norm to buy tickets what we'd consider last minute. We bought some, for instance, from a travel agent in Dali. That's not a big issue.
2. Admission tickets to what? Yunnan isn't Beijing. I never saw a line for anything.
3. Getting lost. People are very helpful. Have your hotel write your address on a piece of paper, or anywhere else you might want to go for that matter, and show it to someone. You won't be lost for long.
4. Menus. When a menu isn't in English it's a good thing. That means you aren't in a tourist joint or at least the tourists are probably Chinese. If there's no one to translate they'll take you into the kitchen where you can point at what you'd like. Or point at dishes other people are getting. Much more interesting than knowing what you'll get.
5. Earthquakes. Don't worry about things you can't do anything about.
barefoot - you are a seasoned traveler. No need for all your concern. Do your research and you will enjoy. Often what we remember most and enjoy reflecting on are the crazy experiences most unexpected.
If you hire a local guide he/she can help out with all of your concerns. Our guides got us tickets for the cable car(Jade Dragon), Impression show, arrange the car from one town to another and accompanied us on the ride. Very nice to have a local guide who can speak English as your personal assistant!
You guys are killing me! Price willing, I'm going to go with a tour operator just to prove that you can have a great experience! Or, I'll be eating my words. The jury's not out yet.
For 7 or 8 days it makes perfect sense to have facilitators. It's not much time and to not have to figure out the logistics would be good, assuming your helpers are helping you do what you really want to do and not what they want you to do or what everyone else does. If you get my drift. It's easy and cost effective (more profit) for them if you don't deviate from preplanned itineraries. So if you can avoid this and other pitfalls then I think it makes good sense.
One of my best days was the only day I hired a lovely English speaking guide to drive us down to the market near the Burma border. He took us to visit a woman in a village nearby and to lunch at a country restaurant where we were the only lunchers and I had the best meal of my life. I hope your trip is as successful as that day was for me.
How was your trip to Lijiang? I'm heading to Lijiang and Dali area in mid September and would love any tips and experiences you can share about hiring local guides v. trying to explore on your own.
You'll have to tell me first! We're not going until late October! In Lijiang, we'll be under the wing of China Highlights.
In the Dali area, we're staying at the Linden Centre, which is acclaimed for being a boutique hotel that offers an authentic cultural experience. All the activities are offered by them. They're located in a renovated three courtyard home in the village of Xizhou....near Dali. They've gotten great press...you should check them out.
Went to Kunming, Dali and Lijiang this past December. It was great - we used Asiatravel.com for all arrangements and booking us a car plus English speaking guide.
Dali is good for perhaps 2 days - highlight was boating on the Er Hai Lake - fisherman use cormorants to catch fish - an amazing spectacle. Dali did not have much to offer. Walk around a bit in the old town, grab dinner and people watch!
For Lijiang, strongly recommend the Crowne Plaza - lovely hotel with a great view from their foyer and an 'empty' heated pool for what it's worth. We actually bought swimming costumes and used the pool - great fun! The hotel is walking distance to the old town which we explored on our own. We went to the Jade Mountain and found it well organized. We did the tiger- leaping- gorge trek - not the whole thing what with our then 6.5 year old in tow - stayed overnight at the Naxi Village Guesthouse - basic but charming. You can also have a horse carry your bags for the walk. It was a different experience altogether, and far from the madding crowd. Be prepared for loooong drives to anywhere but roads are generally good and people helpful.
From Kunming we did the Shi Lin stone forest and Jiu Xiang underground caves. We did not go to Shangrila. - really much further out. I would have liked to visit Yuang Yuan to see the terraced rice fields but again the distance was a deterrent.
All in all, it was a pretty memorable trip, the highlight being the overnight trek at the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
Oh, and we flew in and out of Hongkong to Kunming and back.
Sorry, forgot to answer your question - a full day and a half is enough for Dali unless you are going walking up the mountains. For Lijiang if you are going to do the trek and enoy the environs, four to five days should be more than enough. I would suggest you finish the the trek and stay one more night at Lijiang to recoup and enjoy the trappings of luxury! Connections from Kunming to Hong Kong are once a day, as I recall you will end up spending time there.
P.s. do try the Dali beer. And be prepared for the loos!
thanks for the update! I'm looking forward to the Crowne Plaza and walking around Lijiang. Impressive you id the Tiger Leaping Gorge trek...we'll probably just get a walk in (especially because I just trashed me knee!) I'll see Dali for a short visit but will skip the cormorants.
Lijiang Crowne Plaza is an awesome hotel. The best one we stayed in China, and we stayed in many good ones. I would recommend the Blue Papaya restaurant, which is a 15 minute walk from the hotel. The Jade Mountain will be chilly, so dress accordingly.
Don't forget to see the show "Impressions of Lijiang" by hundreds of local performers on a huge outdoor theatre up in the mountains. You can rent long parkas and oxygen bottles to go up to the top of the mountains via gondolas, view is amazing. There are many other sights within an hour or more from Lijiang, take your time and don't rush.
@ MmePerdu Do you have any suggestions for the Yunnan area? I didn't see a trip report on your profile. Guidebooks that I've read gloss over the area quickly but have found a couple interesting blog posts.
Flyingbaran, this is an awfully old thread. Consider starting a new one with any specific questions you may have (orange button at top left). Exactly what sort of suggestions are you're looking for?
The newest guide seems to be a Rough Guide to SW China. There are others, older, for Yunnan alone. But any guidebook needs to be supplemented with recent information, especially for China.
Thanks for the guidebook suggestion. I found a recent copy at the library to read over.
I heard about Tiger Leaping gorge and Yunnan area via google searches and a tour group itinerary. I think it will be a good contrast to other parts of my trip (Beijing, the usual stuff) where I could slow down and take in more scenic sites via hiking or renting a bike. From what I gathered it seems these "quaint" villages have been built up for tourism but still great to visit. I just don't have much information other than a couple places (Lijiang, Dali, Shaxi, Kunming). It's not that I expect to find undiscovered places to visit, I just want to know what's available.
Like this blog I found mentions salt towns and this thousand lion mountain: http://www.gokunming.com/en/blog/ite..._lion_mountain Hopefully it won't take 10 hours to get there.
Sorry about the lengthy reply. I will be posting a new topic once I have more of an itinerary together.
I stayed in Kunming, Dali, Lijiang and Jinghong in the south on the Mekong River, all with excursions by taxi into the surrounding countryside. Our day trip outside Jinghong was especially interesting, to a large hill tribe market near the Burma border. From Jinghong, or downriver a bit, there are boats you can take to northern Thailand.
I didn't hike the trail above Tiger Leaping Gorge but my companion did. He's an experienced hiker and backpacker (Everest Base Camp, Kilimanjaro, Grand Canyon, etc.) and he described it as a good one. If you're fit and have the stamina, it might be fun, depending on weather. I don't believe the trail is suitable for bicycles but you might look into it to confirm.
Dali is in a flat area with a lake nearby and farming villages around. I think it would be most suitable for leisurely bike rides.
I found the area south of Kunming much less touristed that the north, although admittedly that was ten years ago and I believe there are a lot more Chinese traveling these days.


Today's young expats are very different from their predecessors in the way in which they view and engage with the world.
Ahhh, the old days! The year was 1968 and I was preparing for my first year at a local university in my US hometown. It was an exciting, pivotal time for any young person, but my excitement increased, and my life changed, when an invitation came from a family for whom I had worked for years. They were embarking on a three-year corporate assignment to Switzerland and invited me along to continue my role as mother's helper to their six children! Mr Barney, an automobile executive, was given approximately one month to ready himself and his family for this adventure.
Mobility management? Cultural training? Expatriate preparation? Third Culture Kids? These terms barely existed in those days, but off we went, ready for anything.
Once I had the opportunity to live and 'work' in Switzerland, I was hooked on culture and language for life. I became a high-school foreign-language teacher and taught French to adults for business purposes in my spare time.
Fast forward 30 years, and I found myself absorbing everything I could from intercultural pioneers like Hall, Trompenaars, Hofstede and Renwick. I was assigned my first intercultural training, assisting a country-specific expert preparing a US family for their new life in France. It was my exciting task to assist the children in this transition. Through the use of food, activities, music, and discussion, I advised them on, among other things, efforts to keep in touch with their friends and family back in the States. We had a great little book which suggested sending home-made postcards at various intervals to classmates and teachers to keep connected.
between 1980 and 2000, who view and engage with the world in a very new and unique way. Today, these people, labelled Generation Y or Millennials, have almost everything at their fingertips, and manage it all at lightning speed. They are connected through Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, smartphones and, by the time this article is published, possibly another form of social media with which I will be unfamiliar.
How have these digital natives changed the way we train and counsel them for living and working in a new culture? How are they different from, and how are they the same as, the generations of travellers before them?
No, trainers don't recommend postcards, or worry about long-distance phone bills any more, and there is certainly less communication-isolation for most expats. Today, we encourage Skype, and suggest that sojourners create a blog or a family website where friends and relatives can follow them in their new culture. Programme content has evolved too, from culture-generic awareness presentations to as many as two or three days of adaptability inventories, personal adjustment strategies, target culture facts, and business role-play. But does one size ever fit all?
They are also much less frugal than their parents, who, in keeping with a strong Chinese value based in Confucianism, were famous for saving. Money is available to this younger group for clothes, electronics and dating!
Born in China in the 1990s, Crystal Xia, a Chinese student in the US, adds credence to this observation. "We enjoy the freedom of the internet, communicating with native speakers, and are not as willing to sacrifice all of our time for work and fulfilment of family obligations." She says coming to English-speaking countries has a dual advantage: language acquisition, and avoidance of extreme competition in Chinese universities. Insights like these are golden to receptive cultural trainers, who are always on the lookout for shifts in cultures, identifying new trends and attitudes.
Similar reversals of old stereotypes are evident in Gen Ys from Brazil and Mexico. Ricardo Nùñez, an intercultural trainer for over 15 years, notes that the Mexicans he prepares for expatriation are much more open to taking risks and making decisions on their own. They do not use the US as the ultimate benchmark, as in the past, when it comes to business and leadership. They want to know more about how Asians and Europeans do business and respond to challenges. Nùñez comments, "Actually, the lesser-known culture is the one Mexicans want to understand, as this is status-driven, and valuable when the corporate traveller returns home and can be considered expert in that culture." Brazilians, too, share some of these characteristics, plus a drive to be fluent in English, but often have the additional social goal of maintaining the growth of the new economy, a departure from the more elitist view of their predecessors.
and, in mid-programme, respond to interruptions such as emails, texts or phone calls. They are multitaskers! They are also more visual and kinaesthetic learners, says Peter Reilly, of the English Teaching Forum, so static, tightly structured, trainer-dominated programmes do not work.
Mary Alice O'Brien-Mecke, a former expat spouse and parent of a TCK, trains individuals and families from all over the world for both expatriation and repatriation. Her programmes include the important cultural value contrasts, historical, political and economic impacts on culture, as well as daily life details and social and business orientations. She says, "Demand for up-to-date information, creatively presented, from a myriad of perspectives, in an interactive format, in real time, is a tall order, but it can be and is being done. Customisation is the key."Here are some recommendations from Mary Beauregard and other highly experienced and seasoned Global LT trainers for producing effective, customised expatriate programmes for every generation.
1. Know your audience – Verbal needs assessments completed via Skype or phone are more immediate, detailed, personal, and productive.
2. Employ self-reflection or assessment tools – Expats must learn about their own cultural conditioning and where their strengths and weaknesses lie in order to anticipate appropriate adjustment.
3. Include guest experts – For optimal engagement and learning, a variety of perspectives, styles, and target-country expertise is critical.
4. Put family first – Whether an expat's family joins him/her on extended assignment or stays behind, the primary focus should be on preparing the family for enhanced communication and redefined roles, identity and relationships.
5. Address repatriation – It is never too early to discuss the return home and assist in formulating a plan.
6. Provide follow-up or coaching – Trainers and trainees can form a strong bond. The opportunity to continue the connection and reinforce skills adds value to the traveller and the corporation.


I love food - cooking and eating - and great wine. This love has become a family affair with my awesome husband, Craig, my wine guy (who also does a fantastic job cleaning up after me in the kitchen), and our 19 year old son, Connor, who is a student at the Culinary Institute of America. Together, they are tremendous taste testers, adventurous eaters, and always provide brutally honest feedback, both good and bad. They're fantastic sous chefs, too.
I am an oddity in our circle of friends in that I cook almost every day even though I work full time for a technology company (my job is not technical, so creating this blog has been an accomplishment!). For me, cooking is a creative outlet, relaxing - yoga with a sauce pan - and cheaper (and much more fun) than therapy. Plus, we get to taste some good stuff.
We eat mostly made-from-scratch food, and our eating philosophy is pretty simple. Local if possible, follow the USDA's "dirty dozen" list for organic, and no processed foods (if you can't read an ingredient on the label of a food, we don't eat it). I have really gotten in canning vegetables the last few years, and this summer I mastered jam making. I typically prepare a few new recipes each week, which I will chronicle here. I do have a list of repeaters, favorites that my guys request on occasion, as well as family food traditions such as the seafood stuffed shells in a cream sauce we have every Christmas Eve. I love weekend cooking when I have time to make more elaborate fare than what we eat during the week, and along with my wine guy partner, we enjoy hosting dinner parties for friends, who also enjoy good food and vino.
Over the years, I've collected more cookbooks than any person should own, but if I find just one great recipe, I rationalize that the purchase was justified. I love food magazines and books about food and cooking. I am a chef instructor for nutrition/cooking classes through Share Our Strength's Cooking Matter program, and I'm on the board of directors for Food Outreach, a metro St. Louis organization that provides nutritional support to men, women, and child living with HIV/AIDS and cancer. Food really is our passion in so many ways.
At the moment I am an amateur, and who knows where this journey will lead me, but for now I'm excited to learn some new things (food photography - realizing mine need a lot of work!) and perfect some skills (bread making). I would be thrilled to hear your comments, thoughts, and any suggestions.
Feel free to email me at dphelabaumevans (at) gmail (dot) com.
OK, this is way cool. Connor and I are two lucky guys not only because we love Denise, but because we get to enjoy the results of all of her food adventures. I hope everyone enjoys this blog as much as Denise enjoys cooking.
This blog is awesome. You might even inspire me to cook. You make it sound so fun and exciting. Congratulations on your new adventure. We will stay tuned in Atlanta.
Melinda, Susan, thanks so much for your comments. Stayed tuned for good stuff!
Can't wait to try and replicate the next great receipe. We've done it in the past, with great success. What a great IDEA!!!!!

Q: CSS only recognising body id tag on page 1 I have a Wordpress site and I have added the page id to the body tag in the form of an id tag and as a class, i.e. id="pid1234" class="pid1234".
This is working perfectly on page 1 of a WooCommerce Product page.
However when I use the pagination and move onto page 2 the CSS is completely ignored, it doesn't even appear in my Browser developer tools. The id and class tags retain the appropriate values.
Returning back to page 1 using the same pagination buttons and the CSS is again applied correctly.
Any ideas why the CSS is being ignored on all but the first page of a WooCommerce page.

A: Dont do such thing as using this kind of id/class in your stylesheet file (pid1234). Wordpress create and changes these ids all the time dynamically, especially using pagination.
Using just body { style here }; will probably work for you.
Tell me if it doesnt fix your issue, and sorry about my english.
Best regards.


The 2009 edition of the InterClub contest was held on April 20th at the Churchville Nature Center, hosted by the Churchville Photo Club. Thirty entries were selected by each club to compete for the InterClub score, and for the first time digital images were allowed. Prints were also featured, but no slides were entered. Clubs were encouraged to include in their entries one image from each member who submitted prints or digital files for consideration. Awards were given to the highest and second-highest scores from each club. The judges were Michael Riddle (brought by HVCC) Sandy Kornhauser (hired by Focal Planes) and John Barclay (Hired by Newtown).
The 2010 InterClub will be hosted by Newtown.
The 2008 edition of the InterClub Contest was held on April 15th at the JCCC, hosted by the JCCC. Thirty entries were selected by each club to compete for the InterClub score, but any photographer that submitted entries for consideration had one entry submitted for scoring. While these scores did not count toward the club total, they did count toward an overall Highpoint and 2nd High Point Award for each club. Thus several photographers were recognized individually in addition to the entire club's work being seen and judged. The judges were Rob Sjulander, Richard Wright, and Sandy Kornhauser.
The 2007 edition of the InterClub Contest was held on May 14th at the Silver Lake Nature Center, hosted by Focal Planes. This year only three clubs participated, so there were only two judges. Again 30 entries were entered from each club, with the bulk being prints. Only Churchville entered slides (12) and everything else was prints. The high score of the evening was 18 awarded to CPC's Dave Sacerdote for "Blue Waterlily". The next highest score was 17, given to Newtown's Jeff Godwin for "Robert". Judges for 2007 were Rob Sjulander and Dan Creighton.
The 2006 edition of the InterClub Contest was held on May 4th at the Church of Gods Love hosted by the Newtown.Camera Club There were some rule changes this year to accommodate the changing habits of photographers as they move into the digital world. Each club could enter a maximum of 30 images in any combination of prints and slides. Photographers can enter from multiple clubs, but with a maximum of five images.
CLUB PRINTS SLIDES TOTAL PTS.
The 2005 edition of the InterClub Competition was between Churchville, Focal Planes, JCCC & Newtown on May 2nd 2005. As a special treat, Sig. Carlo Fiorentini, a photographer visiting the Allentown area from Poggibonsi Italy came and presented several books and matted prints to Warren Holtzman for the host club, and extended an invitation to open a dialog with his club.
Thank you all for participating, and for helping to make this a successful InterClub. The highest scores of the night went to Doreen McCabe (Focal Planes) for a slide of a night heron; Jeff Goodwin (Newtown) for a print "Monks", and Sherry Resnick (JCCC) print of a waterlily.
The 2005/2006 InterClub will be hosted by the Newtown Camera Club.
The 2005 InterClub will be hosted by Churchville.
Once again the scores were incredibly close!

ADAM MELCHOR – " Plan On You " EP
Posted: April 4, 2019 in MUSIC
Tags: Adam Melchor, New Jersey, Plan On You EP, singer songwriter, United States
There is a warm haziness in the musical landscape of the song. Melchor's vocals wax emotion while the backing vocals punctuate and echo the sweet sentiments. Though the time difference from the East Coast to the West Coast coast may seem like a mere three hours, many of us know just how much of a difference those few hours can make. We'll be looking to hear more from this precocious new artist!.
"I Don't Wanna See You Cryin' Anymore" is a simple folk sound with a brilliantly played acoustic guitar lines that pulls from elements of jazz, blues, and folk music. The slow picking, sets a perfect tone for Adam Melchor's gorgeous voice to float on top. In reality the song is an apology type song. Adam is singing to a close friend that he has let down, and he is owning up to the mess that he had made with this beautiful song. He comes across as being a caring and genuine person through the emotional and heartfelt delivery of the vocals. The acoustic nature of the song gives more room for the lyrics to really be heard and digested, and hopefully that means Adam Melchor's apology has been accepted. Adam Melchor is a singer-songwriter from New Jersey who is currently based in Los Angeles, CA. "I Don't Wanna See You Cryin' Anymore" is the closing song on his 2019 EP titled "Plan on You."

ADAM MELCHOR – " Three Hours Ahead "
Posted: March 7, 2019 in MUSIC
Tags: Adam Melchor, California, Jon Gilbert, Los Angeles, Plan On You EP
Adam Melchor graduated college with a degree in opera, but as a singer-songwriter, he specializes in dreamy, harmony-dense, Technicolor folk-pop songs like "Three Hours Ahead," which celebrates a friendship that transcends time zones. Melchor, who recently moved from New Jersey to Los Angeles, sings about what he knows: the search for personal growth and connection, overcoming doubt and holding onto the slivers of the past worth keeping. The relocation proved to be fruitful and has since propelled the singer-songwriter's career as an artist.
Acoustic singer/songwriter Adam Melchor is also streaming a new song titled "Plan On You." The track is taken from Melchor's new Plan On You EP set to arrive on March 20th. Check out the new song below.
With a soft instrumental introduction and Melchor's delicate indie vocals, "Plan On You" brings us to a nostalgic place. Surrounded by unknown plans, the opera-singer-turned-bedroom-folk-artist sings of the one certainty in his life, crooning, "I don't have a plan/ I just planned on you." An ode to the modern love song, Melchor illustrates his brilliant ability to write simple and raw lyrics that resonate with you long after the song has reached its end.

FRANCES CONE is Christina Cone, Andrew Doherty, Adam Melchor, and Aaron Hamel. The Nashville based indie-pop band, fronted by Christina Cone, is named after Christina's father and great-grandfather, both musicians themselves in South Carolina and both born on September 11th. The band has been praised for their compelling, emotional live show and captivating recordings. In 2016, Frances Cone released, "Arizona," the first single from their forthcoming full-length album, Late Riser, which is set to release in 2018. Stereogum praised "Arizona" for "Cone's melodic vocals, rich harmonies, and an electrifying guitar sound." Written about her brother, filmmaker Stephen Cone, "Arizona's" .
The band's second single, "Leave Without You," was released in March 2017, is an emotional song about the band's decision to leave Brooklyn. Cone says, "it is the only place I've known as an adult person, and (the song is about) what and who I'll carry with me." Billboard raved that the track "employs the band's signature slow build before exploding with synth and drums into the song's chorus."
"Arizona" is the first track off Frances Cone's new album, "Late Riser" due summer 2018.

FRANCES CONE – " 85 / Unravelling " Buzzsession
Posted: April 2, 2018 in ALBUMS, MUSIC
Tags: Aaron Hamel, Adam Melchor, Andrew Doherty, Brooklyn, Christina Cone, Frances Cone, NY
Filmed in the quiet comfort of a living room, Nashville indie pop band Frances Cone delighted us with a Buzzsession that carries an openness and honesty not often found in the genre. The band has been praised for their compelling, emotional live show and captivating recording Lead vocalist Christina Cone comes from a line of musicians, and it is clear that music runs through her veins in these energized, emotional performances. Director Sonya Goddy chose black and white visuals to mesh with the purity of Cone's voice and the band's sound, and we think you will love their sincere, simple style.
A song about the desperation of impending loss, "85" features the spacey whine of a pedal steel and the buzz of a beautifully arranged guitar, creating an undeniable electricity in the room. What starts as a lullaby-like whisper from Cone crescendos into something full of power. Her angelic vocals morph into an edgy grunginess that creates an enticing blend of folk and rock. In "Unraveling," a militant snare drum contrasts with the gentility of the male vocals, and Cone erupts with a warm, soulful narrative about breaking down. By the last verse, Cone has learned to embrace the calm of letting something go, and you can feel the catharsis with her. We cannot wait for more from this captivating, inspired group.
A collaboration with Way Better Snacks, 'Buzzsessions' is an original video series produced by The Wild Honey Pie. With each new episode, we capture footage of our favorite bands as they record alternate studio versions of their songs.

American Motorcyclist Association Partners with WERA
All 2017 WERA Roadracing Events to be Co-Sanctioned with the AMA
By The Wire
American Motorcyclist Association Teams Up with WERA Motorcycle Roadracing for 2017 SeasonCourtesy of WERA
The American Motorcyclist Association and WERA Motorcycle Roadracing have partnered to advance the sport of motorcycle road racing in America. Beginning with the start of WERA's 2017 season, all WERA events will be co-sanctioned with the AMA.
"WERA has produced a long line of impressive winners, and many of them have gone on to great success in the AMA Superbike Championship and beyond," said AMA Track Racing Manager Ken Saillant. "The professionalism and fairness demonstrated by WERA's leadership has always been exceptional, and the organization is an important partner for the AMA as we work to grow both amateur and professional road racing in this country."
With this partnership, WERA has access to AMA-approved insurance, AMA ratification and recognition of results, and the opportunity to develop a clear path to professional licensing for those riders who aspire to race with MotoAmerica, the home of the AMA Superbike Championship.
"AMA and MotoAmerica have worked hard and are succeeding in bringing growth to professional motorcycle road racing in the United States," said Evelyne Clarke, WERA owner and president. "Many WERA racers have a dream to compete on a professional level, so it is important to provide them the path to accomplish this, which is one of the things this partnership will do. The many benefits of an AMA membership are valuable to all WERA racers."
Clarke, whose history with WERA dates to 1976, added that the AMA's role as the country's premier motorcycling advocate also was important to the decision to sanction with the AMA.
"The AMA has long defended our freedoms to ride and race," Clarke said. "This includes uniting AMA members to help defeat the lead law ban on youth dirt bikes as well as stopping the more recent effort by the Environmental Protection Agency to prohibit the conversion of emissions-certified motorcycles into race bikes."
WERA, based in Canton, Ga., is one of the oldest and largest national sanctioning bodies conducting motorcycle races at road courses across the United States. Since 1974 WERA has enabled thousands of racers at all levels the opportunity to compete across the country. WERA offers a Rider's School with entry-level racing, pro-am racing and vintage racing for anyone with a motorcycle.

Key regional pillar's legislations await outgoing lawmaking body
Bills for walking almost a decade-long East African Monetary Union rhetoric have been tabled before the House
Some coins of the defunct East African Community (EAC). The revived bloc also envisages integrating its financial system. PHOTO | EAC
The 4thEast African Legislative Assembly (EALA) will next month wind up its five-year tenure by debating and approving fundamental laws to the integration agenda.
Before the community attains the Monetary Union, it has to put in place legally created institutions that will integrate financial interactions, integration, monitoring and statistics.
"I am happy we're going to end our tenure with a very good note, the legislations will take us a step towards Monitory Union, the third pillar of the integration," Mr Martin Ngoga, the EALA Speaker, told a high-level delegation from the Burundi government recently.
The 4th assembly was inaugurated on December 19, 2017, in Arusha, Tanzania, instead of June 5, 2017, following belated election of its members by national assemblies of Kenya and South Sudan.

MORE INFORMATION: Burundi Delegation
Ms Domine Banyankimbona, the Justice Minister and Attorney General, led the Burundi Delegation to the headquarters to acquaint itself with activities of the organs of the bloc, namely the East African Court of Justice (EACJ), the East African Community (EAC) Secretariat and the EALA. Among other Burundi government officials, the minister was flanked by the President of the Supreme Court, Mr Emmanuel Gatereste, and the Prosecutor General, Mr Sylvestre Nyandwi. Justice Nestor Kayobera, the President of the EACJ, hosted the delegation in Arusha. "I had wanted to conduct this plenary in Burundi, unfortunately the Speaker told me that the plan has clashed with the National Assembly calendar," the EALA Speaker regretted. Burundi being the next Chair of the community after Kenya, the visit of the delegation apparently prepares the EAC partner state for the role ahead.

Bills tabled
Ms Rebecca Kadaga, the Uganda First Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister for EAC Affairs, tabled Bills for consideration and enactment of the key laws before the regional House between late in February and early in March 2022.
The Bills she tabled on behalf of the Chairperson of the East African Community (EAC) Council of Ministers and Kenya's Industrialisation and Trade Cabinet Secretary, Ms Betty Maina, are critical for smooth functioning of the Customs Union and for fast-tracking the process of establishing the Monetary Union.
The EAC Customs Management (Amendment) Bill, 2022; the East African Financial Services Commission Bill, 2022; and the EAC Surveillance Compliance and Enforcement Commission Bill, 2022, were all tabled in late February and early March 2022, for the first reading.
The Bills have been referred to committees on Communication, Trade and Investment; General Purpose; and Legal, Rules and Privileges, respectively, for scrutiny and public hearing.
Several amendments have been made to the Customs Management Act since, but this year's amendment seeks to streamline and rationalise customs administration, operations and procedures in line with the improved customs operational procedures recently adopted by the community.
Ms Rebecca Kadaga, the Uganda First Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister for East African Community (EAC) Affairs, tabled three key Bills pertaining to the establishment of the EAC Monetary Union before the East African Legislative Assembly recently. PHOTO | EALA
The Bill provides some of the measures that the EAC Council of Ministers may approve to remedy adverse effects on a partner state, including waiving duty on specific goods where there is a shortfall in the production of the goods in the community as allowed by Article 12(3) of the Customs Union Protocol.
The Article says the EAC Council of Ministers may review the common external tariff structure and approve measures designed to remedy any adverse effects which any of the partner states may experience by reason of the implementation of part of the protocol or, in exceptional circumstances, to safeguard interests of the community.
The objective of the East African Financial Services Commission Bill, 2022, in turn, is to establish a commission as an institution of the community to provide for functions, governance, funding and headquarters as stipulated in Article 21(a) of the Monetary Union Protocol.
The objective of the commission is to promote the integration of financial systems; harmonise supervisory and regulatory practices for the non-bank financial sector; promote confidence and protection of consumers, investors and other users; coordinate functioning of non-bank financial services; and to promote the stability of the financial system.
The objective of the EAC Surveillance Compliance and Enforcement Commission Bill, 2022, is to provide for functions, powers and governance structure of the commission.
The Burundi Justice Minister and Attorney General, Ms Domine Banyankimbona (Second Right), led the East African Community partner state's delegation to the Arusha-based headquarters of the bloc recently. Third Right is Justice Nestor Kayobera, the President of the East African Court of Justice, and the First Left is Mr Martin Ngoga, the Speaker of the 4th East African Legislative Assembly whose five-year tenure ends mid this year. PHOTO | FILE
The main role of the commission is to promote the attainment of the macroeconomic convergence criteria for all partners states during the transition to the Monetary Union and to monitor the maintenance and adherence of the criteria by the states once a single currency is established.
Also tabled before the House during the period is the Standardisation, Accreditation and Conformity Assessment Bill, 2022, which was also referred to the Committee on Communication, Trade and Investment for scrutiny and public hearing.
The Bill seeks to separate matters relating to standardisation, accreditation and conformity assessment from those relating to metrology which were mixed in the previous Standardisation, Quality Assurance, Metrology and Testing Act the community enacted in 2006.
The objective of the Bill is to provide for standardisation, accreditation and conformity of products produced or traded in the bloc in a bid to facilitate industrial development and trade and to provide for protection of the health and safety of the society and the environment.
The Bill also aims at streamlining and rationalising standards and the community's conformity assessment principles with the international best practices defined in the WTO Technical Barriers to Trade AgreementΩ

From a pedicure at the infamous Slauson swap meet to FatBurgers.

Vikings defensive tackle Kevin Williams didn't like it when Leslie Frazier said the defensive line wasn't as physical as the Bears were last Sunday. Williams said if Frazier's going to call somebody out, he should call out who he's talking about rather than the entire group.
Vikings defensive tackle Kevin Williams is battling plantar fasciitis in his left foot, but the All-Pro won't let that keep him on the sideline when he returns from his two-game StarCaps suspension on Sunday. Williams says he's ready to play after yelling at the TV during the first two games.
Head coach Leslie Frazier believes Kevin Williams played his best game of the season Sunday. The defensive tackle finished with 8-tackles and recorded his first sack of the season. It's too bad the Vikings lost to the Raiders because Frazier would have given Williams the game ball.
Kevin Williams was forced to sit at home and watch the Vikings give the first to games away. He said the Vikings can't afford to let that happen again, and that they "need to get it going this week" against Detroit.
Vikings defensive tackle Kevin Williams has finished serving his two-game suspension and is ready to help his team start winning. However, the All-Pro won't be getting paid over the next two weeks. It's part of his punishment from the Starcaps case.
