Ian Watson – "Happy to get that win under our belts"
Posted on September 9, 2017 by Luke Wallworth - News
Salford Red Devils Head Coach Ian Watson was delighted with his sides dominant victory over Huddersfield and feels 'the boys did themselves proud'.
Watson said: "We're a good team and this period has been real tough for us and we're happy to get that win under our belts.
"We've not been as good at sticking to our game plan as we were today for a while.
"The intensity with which we started the game I thought won us the energy battle with the likes of Sebastine Ikahihifo and Ukuma Ta'ai.
"They were under the pump early doors and that came to show as they came off pretty early whereas they normally do big minutes – we won that energy battle.
"The big one for us was when we conceded the try and then we pushed them in touch after the next set. That's the sort of resilience we've been talking about in defence and we've not had that for a few weeks."
The Red Devils ran in nine tries in a magnificent attacking display and Watson hailed his right-hand edge as well as Gareth O'Brien who started at half-back.
"We spoke about it on our right edge and executing a few things I didn't expect us to do it so quickly after half-time though.
"Some of the young lads out there Jake Bibby and Ryan Lannon were fantastic. Young Jake was on that right-hand side and was a last-minute replacement for Greg Johnson.
"Gareth O'Brien was a smart half when he played for Warrington and I love him playing out the back with his ability but Niall Evalds has been good as well so it was well worth the risk moving Gaz into the halves."

Olsi Krasniqi – "A really disappointing performance"
Salford forward Olsi Krasniqi is gutted that the Red Devils seem to have lost the chance to make the top four and knows the team need to pick themselves up quickly.
"It was a really disappointing performance, we got dominated by Wakefield and it's going to be extremely difficult for us to get a top four place now.
"We didn't really stick to the game plan and the attitude from the boys wasn't right and I think that was evident and cost us in the second half, especially.
"The top four is still in view but we've given away a very very good chance there.
"It's still there in sight but we've got some good teams that we need to beat now and the way we're playing at the minute it's going to be very difficult to overcome the likes of Huddersfield, Leeds and St Helens.
"We can't dress this up at the moment – we just aren't playing well and it needs to change very soon.
"But, if we can pick ourselves up and win our three games and win well you never know there's an outside chance we might make the top four.
"Obviously, the most important thing is just to put in the performances now and show up and entertain the fans a little and take that into the 2018 season.

Junior Sa'u – "Only us who can turn it around"
Salford Red Devils centre Junior Sa'u admits that the side is low on confidence following a disappointing 18-43 defeat at the hands of fellow top four hopefuls Wakefield.
Sa'u, sponsored by Bullen Conservartion said: "We just keep turning off in games which just isn't good enough.
"Obviously, we're down on confidence and there's only us who can turn it around individually and as a team.
"We've got to keep working hard and get back to the drawing board, fix the errors and just keep trying heading into these final few games.
"You can see the boys are down but we need to stay positive. We've got three more games to give it a good crack and just make sure we give it our all in these final three games and see where we end up.
"Whether we make the top four or not we've got to go out there and give it our all these next three week and play with some pride.
Sa'u returned to the Salford side after not featuring since the Challenge Cup semi-final and says he can always get better on a personal level.
Sa'u said: "I've got to go back and look at my individual performance and see what I can work on because there's always room for improvement.
"But, as a group, we've got to knuckle down and put some performances in through these final three week starting against Huddersfield next Saturday."

Ian Watson – "That's not what we're about"
Salford Red Devils Head Coach Ian Watson gave an honest assessment of his sides performance following their 18-43 defeat at the hands of Wakefield.
Watson questioned his sides desire as the Red Devils may have let slip a great opportunity to challenge for a top four spot in the Super League Super 8s.
Watson said: "It was an embarrassment from us, to be fair. The way we're playing at the moment isn't good enough.
"As individuals, and as a club, it's not what we've been about and it's something that needs rectifying quickly.
"People patted us on the back earlier in the season saying we've massively progressed from the Million Pound Game to becoming a top eight side but since we got in the top eight it seems like we've lost that bit of desire and don't want to push through and be even better.
"That's not what we're about and that's not the ethic we breed here at Salford.
"When you get an opportunity to be in the top eight and even be a top four team you've got to grab that chance with both hands and see what you get out of it.
"It should be something you look forward to playing at the top end of the table but for whatever reason we've lost that desire and it's not everybody – individuals I'd say."
The Red Devils went into half-time trailing by just eight points but two tries in quick succession in the second half helped Trinity pull away and Watson feels mistakes were a big problem for Salford.
Watson said: "We just made stupid errors. The errors we made, we then didn't have the resilience to then defend that error and it's something we've spoken about all season defending our errors.
"We conceded scrappy tries from kicks and then they got three penalties on the bounce which kind of took the score out a bit.
"But, the game was still there to be won and we needed a solid start in the second half which we kind of had but then we made another error, conceded a repeat set and then they score and we just weren't showing that desire.
"There's probably going to be some brutal honest conversations this week and let's see where we go from there."

Craig Kopczak – "The place will erupt again"
Posted on August 20, 2017 by Luke Wallworth - News
Red Devils forward Craig Kopczak says the aim is to get 'smiles back on faces' following Salford's defeat at Wigan.
Kopczak, sponsored by Jones & Brooks, said: "Momentum and confidence is low and things are just not going our way and the break that's coming up is going to do us a world of good to be honest.
"We need to have a bit of a break and focus on a few things.
"We'll freshen up our bodies and minds and really attack it hard in this last little block of fixtures we've got. We're still optimistic, it's still there to be taken so we've just got to have a good crack at it.
"We just need to recover and get some smiles back on faces and get that buzz going around the place again like it was earlier in the season.
"Once we get that first victory the place will erupt again."
The Red Devils have struggled with injuries over the last few weeks and Kopczak is one player who has only just returned to the side.
"After my injury coming back now I'm just giving it my all when I'm out there and it's always difficult when confidence in the camp is low.
"But, I'm trying to use my experience and get everyone fired up and ready for games it's just hard to get out of when you're in that dip in form.
"Injuries happen and the team we're putting out is very capable of winning every game so it's not that big of a factor – we don't look for excuses.
"Wakefield are going really well they're having a real good dig at making the top four as well and we need to welcome them with the right attitude and turn this run around."

Ian Watson – "We just weren't good enough"
Red Devils head coach Ian Watson feels his side lost the forward battle in their defeat to Wigan at the DW Stadium on Friday.
Watson said: "We had a little bit of possession on their line early on and we probably we needed to take a couple of points there to give us a bit of a foothold.
"But, we didn't and they marched us down the field and I thought their middles were outstanding and absolutely dominated us, to be fair.
"There's a quality of player you do miss but it's no excuse it wasn't good enough from us as a group.
"We've been discussing that in there as a team we want to compete going forward it's just managing to turn the form books upside down as we've been saying.
"We just weren't good enough and I thought Wigan were outstanding. We've met probably the three best teams at the moment in Hull, Castleford and Wigan as well and we've not done ourselves any favours with our performances.
"The effort was better in the second half and that's what we've said if we had some of that effort in the first half we might have had a little bit of a different outlook on the game.
"But, like I say, I think we met Wigan on a good day and they're getting ready for a big Challenge Cup final.
"What we wanted to do was try and rectify that semi-final defeat more than anything but I just thought they were too good for us today to be honest.
"Hopefully, this couple of weeks will give us a bit of time to get a couple of players back on the field which can give us a little bit more experience – we need to find a balance between training and freshening up both mentally and physically."

Todd Carney – "You have these periods"
Despite losing to Castleford on their return to the AJ Bell Stadium half-back Todd Carney feels there are positives from the Red Devils performance.
Carney, sponsored by Prowood, said: "Yeah, it's disappointing but that's footy I guess you have these periods and it's tough to get out of them.
"We were a lot better than last week so that's a positive.
"We'll take a few negatives and positives from the game but credit to Castleford they're a good team who play some positive football.
"We've just got to turn up Monday and train hard and work ourselves out of it but it's just Rugby League."
The Red Devils caused Castleford issues and Carney knows that Salford were unlucky to not have scored more points on Friday evening.
Carney said: "We were held up twice and we had two tries disallowed earlier in the game.
"Manu Vatuvei scored 15 metres from the first contact so I think that's a try.
"Early in the game Niall Evalds goes through I think that's 12 points there that we probably should gave had but the referee has seen a different picture.
"But, if you get those tires early in the day it's a different ball game. We could have had four tries so there's some more points which make it a different game completely.
"It was mine and Robert Lui's fourth or fifth game together and it's working it's coming along.
"But, you've got to take note of Castleford's defence it's been good all season."
Fans are reminded that tickets are now on sale for Red Devils remaining home games in the Super 8s against Wakefield, Huddersfield and St Helens. Tickets can be bought over the phone, at the club's ticket office or online via the club website. Supporters are also reminded that season tickets are valid for all Super 8s home games.

Ian Watson – "We just needed to take our opportunities"
Red Devils head coach Ian Watson is confident his side are learning lessons from the Super 8s despite falling to a 4-23 defeat at the hands of current table toppers Castleford.
Watson said: "Obviously, we'd like to be coming out of these games with victories but we are learning every week.
"Competing in the Super 8s is something we haven't done before and we're using this opportunity to improve and continue to grow as a side.
"We've got a few experience members in the side but the younger lads are really learning from this experience.
"Last weekend in the second half against Hull I was disappointed with the effort from the boys but the effort was certainly there against Castleford.
"Competing against the best sides like Castleford and Hull week in week out can only benefit us as a side.
"We actually had a lot of ball on Castleford's line and we looked dangerous for large periods of the game which is extremely positive – we just needed to take our opportunities.
"I thought Robert Lui and Todd Carney's partnership continued to develop and looked promising and Manu Vatuvei was brilliant again.
"We were on the end of a few tough calls in the first half particularly Manu Vatuvei's try which got ruled out for an obstruction by Ryan Lannon.
"We are competing which is very pleasing and it's always difficult when you're on a bad run but we're still confident we can push for a top four place.
"We've got another tough game against Wigan next weekend which will be another great test for the lads."

Go with a proven standard.
When customers contact us about our products, we always listen.
First off, we wanted to make sure there was nothing wrong with the beans.
We had the customer send the beans back for a tasting, but we couldn't find any problems in the product—the roast was perfectly fine, as was the quality of the beans. There was nothing wrong with how the customer had brewed the beans, either.
After eliminating a wide variety of possible causes, we finally located the source of the problem: the water.
Our customers weren't the only ones picking up on the differences.
We'd been noticing some taste variation among our different store locations, too.
We knew that we had to get our water from a source that could help our coffee live up to its full potential.
until we found our perfect match: water from Azumino, a city in Nagano Prefecture.
Water is the basis of any cup of coffee.
with water that brings out all the delicate aromas of the beans as faithfully as possible.
That's exactly what "Maruyama Coffee Standard Water" does.


Looking for a terminal emulator and a developer suite in one? Upterm has you covered. The best way to install Upterm on Linux is to grab the AppImage. The developers have gone this way because it can be a bit of a pain to have to make packages for a ton of different Linux distributions.
To get started, go to the releases page and download the latest version of the AppImage. Once downloaded, open up a terminal window and use the mkdir command to create an AppImage folder.
Creating an AppImage folder is a great idea because of how these types of files work. The instant you open them, they run and develop references in that folder. If you open an AppImage file directly from the ~/Downloads directory, you may end up accidentally deleting it, or forget what the file is for. Having a dedicated folder is a solution to these problems.
Note: use a "." if you wish to hide your AppImage folder from view. Keep in mind that hiding this folder will make things a little more tedious. You will need to click "show hidden files" to launch the file for the first time.
Place the Upterm AppImage inside the new folder (located in your /home/username/ directory). Then, using the chmod command, update the permissions of the file so that it can execute as a program. Changing permissions is critical, or Upterm will not work correctly.
With the permissions updated, go to ~/AppImages and select "open" to start it for the first time.
Please keep in mind that because Upterm is distributed via a downloadable AppImage file, you'll need to check the release page for a new version periodically. To update, go to ~/AppImages, delete the old file, replace it with the new one. Update the permissions (as shown above).
Since the Upterm client is an AppImage, users can go to ~/AppImages inside the /home/username/ folder, double-click on the file and run it with ease. However, if you'd like to be able to launch this program like any other one, you'll need to create an individual desktop shortcut file. Here's how to do it.
Using mv rename the image file.
Then move the terminal back to your Home folder. From there, open up the Nano text editor to create a new desktop shortcut.
Comment=A terminal emulator for the 21st century.
Be sure to change the username in the code above to the name of the user you will be using Upterm on. With all the information entered, press Ctrl + O to save, and Ctrl + X to exit Nano. Then, update the permissions of the file, using chmod.
Finally, install the shortcut to the system by using the mv command.
Find Exec=/home/username/AppImages/upterm-0.4.3-x86_64-linux.AppImage and change it to the new filename you downloaded. Save the changes you've made to the upterm.desktop file in Nano with Ctrl + O.
Want to uninstall Upterm from the system? Here's how. First, delete the desktop shortcut from /usr/share/applications/.
Then, delete the file from the ~/AppImages folder.
The AppImage should work on 99% of Linux distributions, but if you're on Arch Linux and you would rather install Upterm as a native application, you'll need to grab it from the AUR. First, you'll need to grab the "git" package to interact with the AUR. Install it using the Pacman package manager.
Now that you've got the git tool, use it to clone the latest version of the Upterm PKGBUILD file.
Now that the PKGBUILD is on your PC, use the CD command to navigate to the upterm folder.
Run the makepkg command to start the build process. When running this command with the -si option, Arch will go out and automatically install any dependencies that it can find via the official software repositories. Somtimes it doesn't get all of them. If this happens, you'll need to go over to the Upterm AUR page and install them manually.
Uninstall Upterm from Arch Linux at any time using Pacman -R.

Since Japan's economic decline in the 1990s, young Japanese men have struggled to find full-time, relatively permanent work. To reduce employment costs, Japanese companies have protected older workers, at the expense of younger workers. For an insightful analysis, see Mary C. Brinton's Lost in Transition: Youth, Work, and Instability in Postindustrial Japan.
"Young people discharged from reformatories feel a sense of relief in being accepted by society when given employment and a place to stay," says Mitsuyuki Iijima, president of a trucking company in Tokyo and volunteer probation officer.
Then again, don't most people feel a sense of relief when they're given a job and a place to stay? Which would give you more relief, no job and no place to stay, or a job and a place to stay? Who's more likely to commit crime, someone with a job (and thus something to protect) or someone who's unemployed (and thus has little or nothing to lose)?
"It is a highly important task for us to extend a helping hand to them in securing employment, along with helping improve the ability of families to supervise and support them," he added. Reformatories encourage families of inmates to meet them as frequently as possible to ensure a positive living environment awaits them after their release from the facilities. Having strong family ties is essential to preventing recidivism, the white paper stressed.
So a positive living environment can discourage criminality. Again … duh. However, the news article plays a bit loose with the statistics. (Let's assume that the original report is more rigorous in its statistical analyses.) The strength of family ties are measured by the number of times your family visits you while you're in jail.
96 percent of the men said that their families had visited them twice or more, and only four percent (27 out of 644 people) said their families had visited them only once or not at all. Four percent! Those whose parents visited them only once or not at all had a recidivism rate 11 points higher, but now we're only talking about two percent of the total group (15 out of 644 re-offended). Am I missing something? 15 men re-offended, whereas we'd expect only 12 to do so. So the difference is only three people? 644 young men are in jail, and researchers' analysis explains the behavior of only three of them?
It's also worth noting that the article does not specifically state that it's referring only to men, but … it is. If the white paper were referring to the criminality of young women, it would specifically say so, as would the newspaper article. However, men's gender is understood here. It's the default, accepted category. So we can write an article about men's criminality while referring to people in general, but an article about women's criminality would refer only to women.
The decline of employment opportunities for Japan's young men likely foretells greater propensity to crime. For those who don't go on to college, high schools used to link students to full-time employment after graduation. Now, those links have largely been severed. More students are thus continuing their education into 2-year or 4-year colleges or vocational schools, but without improved employment prospects when they graduate, is staying in school just delaying the inevitable? Jobs that used to be attainable with a high school diploma now go to college graduates, further marginalizing those who don't go to college.
One question unanswered in these studies is what happens to minority youth in Japan. Groups such as the Burakumin and Zainichi Koreans have historically been outside the mainstream employment market, which guides youth to work for large corporate employers. Joining these groups are second-generation South American Nikkei, who are now coming of age in Japan. If mainstream Japanese are struggling to find jobs with major employers, what effect is that having on minority candidates who are already on the margins?

President's Introductory Remarks
by SAF | Dec 30, 2017 | Featured, Meet A Scudder | 1 comment
The following is a transcript of Charles S.K. Scudder's introductory remarks on being elected President of the Scudder Association, at the Annual Meeting of the General Membership, December,4, 2017.
Dear Cousins,
Well, thank you all very much indeed for electing me President. I deeply appreciate your vote of confidence and will do everything I can to live up to the demands of the office. I intend to move the Association forward, building on what Rob Fish has managed to do in his six years in office which you have already heard described earlier in this meeting. I want to do it in a collegial, non-confrontational manner which has been the spirit of the Association for many years in the past where everyone's input is encouraged and valued. There is much good ahead for the Association if we together take the right path and work together harmoniously.
For those of you who don't know me, let me say a little about my background. I was born and grew up in London shortly after the Second World War. My father was Evarts Seelye Scudder from Boston who had married my mother, Dr. Nina Kellgren who was English and had her medical practice in London. They hosted a group from the Scudder Association in the 1970s at our home on Regents Park. My grandfather Charles Locke Scudder was a physician in Boston and was a member of the original Scudder Association formed in 1912. He also was an organizer of the Scudder reunion in Boston in 1918 in commemoration of the hundredth anniversary of the Rev. John Scudder's sailing to begin the long tradition of Scudder medical missionaries to India. We will be celebrating the 200th anniversary of Dr. John's departure for India in Boston next year.
I received my BA from Yale in 1968 and then spent three years in the US Army in a NATO Military Intelligence unit based in Vicenza, Italy. I then attended Merton College, Oxford in the UK where I received an MA in Law. I later received a JD from the University of Connecticut School of Law. I have practiced law for about 40 years in large firms in New York and Philadelphia. However, this has been punctuated by stints as Assistant General Counsel and General Counsel for DuPont, Conoco, Unisys, Carnaudmetalbox and the Dutch firm AkzoNobel. My specialty has been Corporate Law and Mergers and Acquisitions. I have been legal counsel for the Association for about 7 years.
I have three children all of whom are members of the Association. Whit Scudder, who is here tonight, is an attorney practicing in Westport Connecticut. My daughter Jocelyn runs an Art Institute in Park City, Utah, and my daughter Ansley is the Northeast manager for the online auction company "Everything but the House" and is based in Stamford.
I was married two months ago to my wife, Mary Olson Scudder who I believe is on the telephone. We were married in England on October 1 in the chapel at Merton College, Oxford. Mary is a clinical psychologist and teaches at Smith College in Northampton, Mass.
Turning to Association matters, as Rob mentioned in his remarks, we have increased the Association's assets from under $2 million in 2015 to over $4.8 million today. This was primarily due to the bequest by Eric Scudder of his home in Pacific Palisades, California. The property turned out to be problematic to sell, but after about 9 months, Rob and I were able to make the sale at $2.1 million which more than doubled the Association's endowment. The Association has also managed to generate good returns on its investments over the last 1 year period ranging from $11% to 18%. All this increases the funding the Association will be able to provide to its philanthropic causes, most notably the Indian institutions founded by Scudders, CMC (The Christian Medical College) in Vellore and the Scudder Memorial Hospital in Ranipet. It will also enable us to expand the Association's educational grants program, and possibly branch out into other philanthropic areas as well. We intend to continue to increase the Association's financial base through expanding membership and contributions to enhance our funding capabilities within the parameters of our 501 (c) 3 status, which requires us to contribute a certain percentage of our assets to charitable causes on an annual basis.
The next important item is the Web site. Under the guidance of Rich Scudder and Bill Scudder, it is poised to expand membership and increase contributions to the Association. Already membership alerts are being sent out to those who need to pay their dues together with the mechanism for making payments (I got one of those last month). I know Rich and Bill are ready to contact hundreds of potential Scudder members who they have identified across the country and abroad. I believe the web site will be the key to expanding membership, increasing contributions and disseminating information about the Association.
If you have not already done so, please access the web site scudder.org. There are amazing stories about past and present Scudders. One of the people highlighted is Chris Scudder, a decorated Vietnam Veteran who is a current Board member and is attending the meeting tonight, although remotely. Another is Boris Johnson, former Lord Mayor of London and now Foreign Secretary in Teresa May's cabinet. Boris has recently been in the headlines with his propensity to make some ill-advised public gaffs. However, every family has its bad boys.
There is still a lot of work to be done on the Web site to make it fully functional, but that will be one of our priorities.
On another front, many of you know, we changed auditors this year. Marks Paneth, the same auditor chosen by CMC, was selected as our new auditor. In addition to preparing the Association's 2016 financials, Marks Paneth was asked to review the Association's policies and procedures because of their expertise in advising many other 501(c) 3 companies. We were very happy that they concluded that there were no material deficiencies in any of the Association's current policies and procedures. However, they made a number of recommendations to improve and enhance our corporate governance. These ranged from training directors on financial statement presentation and interpretation, implementing two signature requirements on corporate checking and investment accounts and monthly formal reviews of the Association's financial statements by both the President and the Treasurer. In the near future we will be considering all their suggestions and determining which are appropriate for the Association and making a proposal to the Board. The changes which are put in place will be reported to the Membership at the next Annual Meeting.
Additionally, the Association's financials from 2013 through 2015 were subjected to a forensic accounting review by Marks Paneth. I won't get into detail about why or whether that was necessary, but I am pleased to report that the conclusion of the forensic accounting review was that Richard Williamson, the Association's Treasurer, had done an excellent job during that period in the oversight and preparation of the Association's financials, and no irregularities were found at all.
As you have already heard, Rob Fish and Jim Taylor have made considerable financial contributions to the Association's interests and projects in India. Kudos to both of them for this effort which I hope will be an inspiration to others in the Membership to make contributions themselves.
On another front, we have been in the process of updating the Association's By Laws, and the revisions are nearly in final form. However, they will also need to be further reviewed and amended in light of our new auditors' suggestions for improving corporate controls. This will be accomplished during the first quarter of next year, and we will need to come back to the Membership for final approval.
I look forward to a great Annual Meeting next year in Boston, which is being organized by Annmarie Bunce, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the first Scudders sailing to India. This will be followed by a trip to India in early 2019 to visit CMC and Scudder Memorial. I hope as many of you as possible can attend one or both of these events.
All that said, I will do my utmost to move the Association forward in a positive way. My goal is to foster a more collegial, productive and optimistic organization which can realize the diverse charitable objectives of the Association set out in its Charter and By Laws. I will have no hesitation to do what is necessary to achieve these goals. I look forward to taking the Association to a new level on many fronts. I am very excited to have been elected President and hope that I live up to your expectations.

Sending my best wishes. I have fond memories of your father and mother.
Sue née Whiteside Cleveland


So I just checked the e-mail, a public e-mail account, which I do often sometimes during the breaks, and I found one. A subject line is how I find these. "Dear Mr. Limbaugh, I disagree with your assessment of what this election is about. The main voting issue is not immigration or health care. It is that the Democrat voting base is a bunch of nuts." I wish that were true. I have tried to make that a fundamental issue in people's minds.
The literal insanity, the psychological disorders… And I mean that with every essence of my being. I think much of the Democrat Party agenda has derived from their voters being psychologically screwed up. They are suffering psychological disorders because of things that have happened to them in their lives, and they want to blame the country for it. They want to blame the patriarchy; they want to blame the founding.
But then they claim that the only fix for it is the government punishing the people that did whatever happened to these people. And the Democrat Party has embraced all of these various psychological disorders and abnormalities and has tried to normalize them all by enshrining them as policy planks in the Democrat Party platform, if you will. And that's how we end up with people that represent two-tenths of 1% of the population, giving the whole weight of the Democrat Party thrown behind them to make their issue one in which the otherwise vast majority can end up being bullied into submission.
I have tried ever since… Well, even before, but specifically since the Kavanaugh hearings to make the point that that's what we're up against, and that's what is going to end up triumphing and winning if the Democrats win the House. All of that abnormality is going to achieve power. And when they have the power to actually implement their forms of punishment against groups of people they blame for whatever is wrong in their lives… These are not people that think they can fix things themselves.
They are not people that… They've not been raised this way. The Democrat Party does not promote that kind of thing in human behavior. The Democrat Party is happy to help them blame others, happy to make them think they have no hope, that the deck is stacked against them because of whatever. Their skin color, their sexual orientation, their gender identity, their religion, whatever.
And the Democrat voter basically says, "Yeah, yeah, yeah." Now, what you need to do is examine every Democrat constituency group that they've been representing for the last, take your pick, 10 years, 20, 50, and ask yourself if any of the people in those groups have become happy, have had their issues addressed and fixed, or are they as miserable as they've always been?
Are they as angry as they have always been, if not more so? Are they still complaining today about things they were complaining about, injustice, discrimination, mistreatment, that they've been complaining about for 50 years? What has the Democrat Party done to fix any of this? The answer is nothing. Although the Democrat Party has done its best to punish people who are not Democrats.

Speaking of "dark pursuits," it seems that witches now outnumber Presbyterians in the U.S. Speaking of witches, it seems the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation brought them even more into the mainstream of modern liberalism – so much so that, now that we've entered the Kavanaugh era of the Supreme Court, Vox saw fit to report on how modern-day witches are helping the "faithful" to cope.
Part of this coping involves placing hexes on Justice Kavanaugh. New York City witches have an event scheduled this coming Saturday for devoted occultists. A $10 donation is suggested for those attending. Half of the proceeds will be split between Planned Parenthood and an LGBT organization. Justice Kavanaugh is just the latest target of those invoking witchcraft to "magically bind" President Trump and his administration.
The conservative news site Breitbart has been tracking acts of left-wing violence — or active encouragement of it by politicians and journalists — and found more than two dozen in just the first two weeks of this month. The list tops 600 over the past two years.
And what has been the response from leading Democrats and the mainstream media to these attacks, especially those against women? Expressions of outrage from party leaders? Loud denunciations of violence of any kind?
Fundamental misunderstandings of capitalism are peddled to young people on a daily basis. The most glaring example of this trend was a recent tweet by TeenVogue magazine, advertising their capitalism explainer article to teen girls with the caption, "Can't #endpoverty without ending capitalism!" This is a magazine that caters mainly to a very young, female audience, and whose readers are still forming their opinions on big picture things like what the ideal economic system is. How can such a publication, in good faith, put out something that is so misleading about the basis of our economy?
TeenVogue is a magazine that makes its money by telling teen girls which lipstick their favorite pop star thinks is in this season and selling ads for makeup, designer clothes, and TV shows. The prosperity of capitalism has allowed people the leisure to buy the sorts of products TeenVogue advertises; its entire model is a capitalist one. So, let's not take them at their word in their hope to end capitalism.
Why does the left think that using their children to make political points makes those points more valid, in any way shape or form?
And it makes no sense whatsoever.
Anyone who claims their children are "terrified" or "can't sleep" because someone was confirmed or elected is, in fact, saying they have gaslighted the kids into being scared or worried about this stuff. Isn't that child abuse? Shouldn't CPS at least investigate?
It might not cure the left of their inveterate need to put their sclerotic, murderous Marxist philosophy in the mouths of innocents – who don't know that philosophy always results in hundreds of thousands of mass graves – but it might at least make them think twice.
As we head into the 2018 midterm elections and eventually the 2020 presidential race, the expectations Democrats have from voters has stayed the same as previous cycles. The left's assumption is that women and minorities vote for Democrats because it's in their best interest and major cultural events back it up.
But over the course of the past two weeks, the left's strategy of identity politics as a way to divide and conquer American voters has not only failed, it's backfired.
Ann Althouse: I'm trying to read the new Michelle Goldberg column in the NYT, "A Cure for Political Despair/Join the women trying to save America from Trump," but it's so hysterical and melodramatic.

Packet networks don't do 'work'
To understand why the Internet has serious design issues you have to step right, way way way back to the beginning of networking to see how things have taken a wrong turn. We have made a huge category error in how we think about packet networks that pervades our language, invades our metaphors, and limits our understanding. By escaping this category error we can solve a lot of the problems that plague packet networking, the telecoms industry, and all who depend upon it.
Networking is alchemy, not chemistry
It is rightly fashionable at present to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Alan Turing. Along with Church and von Neumann he put in place the foundations for computation as a formal discipline. A Turing machine is a conceptual universal computer, and is quite easy to grasp: a piece of ticker tape with symbols being processed. We have confidence in the behaviour and failure modes of computers because we have a basic theory of why they work, and why they halt.
Strangely, networking lacks such formal foundations – thus far. One of the reasons is that we haven't got a 'universal network' model is that the problem domain is temporalrather than spatial. Humans have a lot of difficulty reasoning in the time domain. We don't see comparable multiplexed systems of flows in everyday life.
We apply the intuition and language from other domains – principally spatial ones – unconsciously using terms like 'bandwidth' to describe packet networks when they really only apply to single links. Indeed, in this case 'bandwidth' describes a very precise average quantity of data moved over a usually indeterminate and unspecified time period. Again, the temporal trouble shows itself.
We talk of 'pipes' and 'flow' – even though there's no back-pressure and no packet ever did any flowing, just copying. Even the work 'packet' comes laden with expectations from packages. In the physical world, losing a package in the mail is bad, whereas for information transmission losing a packet early can be a good thing if it prevents a greater loss of value elsewhere.
These metaphorical mistakes are problematic, because they have led us to make an enormous, horrendous, monstrous category error in how we describe packet networks.
The clue is in the name: packet networks don't do 'work'.
Some machines do 'work', just not packet networks
The mental category we have unconsciously put packet networks into is 'machines that do work'. A work-machine does a physical transformation in the atomic world. It typically leaves behind potential energy (e.g. a crane lifting things), mechanical energy (e.g. the deformation of a rivet), kinetic energy (e.g. a gun) or chemical energy (e.g. petrol refinery). They are governed and constrained by the laws of thermodynamics, and tend to chuck off a lot of heat.
Computers are work-machines because they do a form of work: transistors do transformational NAND and NOR operations that leave behind electrical energy and require the dissipation of heat energy when a '1' becomes a '0'. If we want more computation, we must emit more heat in proportion.
When we think of packet networks we see boxes throwing out heat, and they look like computers, so they are imagined to be doing 'work'. We can't see what they do, so we have an inner mental model of 'beads on a string' moving data towards its destination. There is the 'work' to be done: moving the beads. As we have done 'work' in getting a bead so far along the string, it would be bad to waste that effort, so we queue the beads up when the next link is busy, and are reluctant to lose them on the way. After all, we'd just have to redo some 'work', and that would be wasteful, wouldn't it?
More subtly and critically, we choose a particular type of queue: work-conserving. What that means is that if the onward link is idle, and a packet is waiting, then the packet will be sent. 'Work' is being conserved across the transmission interface. Why waste the opportunity to get some 'work' done? It's a work-machine whose purpose is to do 'work'!
But there is no 'work' being done. It's a fantasy. Nothing was transformed. Which is why the Internet doesn't work very well.
Networks are translocation machines
The word 'network' mathematically describes the topological connection of nodes. It does not describe how multiplexed flows work. That matters, because when we turn 'network' into a verb it causes profoundly faulty reasoning. Packet networks are very work-shy: we can do 'networking' with just laser light and mirrors. Sending the data twice as far or in half the time doesn't need twice the energy input.
Packet networks are really giant information-copying machines that suffer from slowness and sloppiness in copying bits. Their fundamental nature is the translocation of information. The ideal packet network does instant and perfect bit-copying, with no transformation at all.
Such 'multiplexed translocators' are rare in the ordinary world, and we have relatively little intuitive experience of them. A possible example is ski lifts, although these also serve double-duty as work-machines, and to get the analogy to work you need to think of transporting ski teams up multiple stages, not just individual skiers. The moving walkways in airports have a similar property, as long as you think of value coming from getting an orchestra onto a plane, not just one violinist.
So what? Your epistemology doesn't 'work' for me
These two types of systems are constrained by different parameters. The 'data processing' work machines are constrained by the principles of computability, whereas 'multiplexed translocation' is constrained by the three laws of networking I wrote in "The limitations of bandwidth" – i.e. quality attenuation exists, is conserved, and has two degrees of freedom (loss & delay) with a trading space.
These are fundamentally and categorically different. The former moves towards a positive outcome of computation, which one wishes to maximise, whereas the latter is about a negative outcome of quality attenuation, which one wants to minimise.
So whilst an ideal network performs instant and perfect copying of information at a distance, real networks deviate from this by adding loss and delay. That deserves big bold caps: THE ONLY THING TRANSLOCATION SYSTEMS DO IS ADD LOSS AND DELAY, i.e. deviate downwards from perfect reliability and timeliness.
You need to stop looking at networks as work machines doing 'positive' work by making packets flow. This is a hard mental jump to make. Look at the holes, not the packets. Look at the delay to serialise a packet, not 'bandwidth'. It's like quantum physics. Your intuition is wrong, no matter how much you feel comfortable with it.
Now for the important bit. There are four big consequences of getting this back-to-front and seeing packets with a work-machine rather than translocation-system viewpoint:
Nearly all the queues in today's Internet are designed for work, not translocation. Whoops! We've built the wrong Internet. Still, you can't fault people trying, as you wouldn't be getting this critque without it.
The lawyers have got network neutrality inside-out. They have mixed atom-based translocation ideas like common carriage together with work-machine Protestant work ethics to bit-based multiplexed flow systems.
We mistakenly attach value to delivery of individual packets, rather than allocating loss and delay across flows, so the network engineers have got QoS upside-down.
We exclude ourselves from deriving a fundamental algebra of networking, which means we have no understanding of why things work and why they break. Even the Internet Engineering Task Force doesn't do engineering! They'd be fired from any real society of engineers for coming up with networks that suffer bufferbloat when nobody had any idea it was possible.

New Quay appeal for players
NEW Quay Football Club are appealing for players to join them in a bid to ensure football has a future in the community.
The Club was in a similar situation a few years ago and a similar appeal helped to keep them going for another two seasons.
Now, the Ceredigion League Club have put out another request asking for anyone who may have an interest in football to consider joining the team.
In a post on Twitter, New Quay Football Club manager Charles Lloyd Harvey said: "Two years ago I made an appeal for new players as we were suffering a player shortage and faced the prospect of not having any registered football teams in New Quay for the first time in the clubs extremely long and proud history.
"The response to the appeal was fantastic with players old and new vowing to step in as much as they could, securing the clubs short term future.
"It is because of this community effort that we have been able to limp on for two more seasons.
"Well, here I am again, two years later, making another appeal for players as we once again face a critical shortage and the possible end of senior football at New Quay FC.
"If you, or anyone you know, is interested in joining New Quay FC for the coming season, get in touch. Or come along to our pre-season training sessions every Wednesday at the football pitch in New Quay, 6:30pm-7:30pm.
"Young (15+), old, from the area, not from the area, played for another team last year, played for us last year, anyone with an interest in joining the club and helping to secure its future will be welcomed with open arms.
"Please help us keep New Quay FC going and ensure football has a future in our community."
Anyone wishing to get involved can do so by contacting New Quay FC on their Twitter page.

Tiger football recruiting: RB who flipped from Colorado calls Memphis 'perfect fit'
Atascocita (Texas) High School running back Patrick Taylor Jr. became the first running back to join Mike Norvell's inaugural recruiting class as head coach.
Tiger football recruiting: RB who flipped from Colorado calls Memphis 'perfect fit' Atascocita (Texas) High School running back Patrick Taylor Jr. became the first running back to join Mike Norvell's inaugural recruiting class as head coach. Check out this story on commercialappeal.com: https://www.commercialappeal.com/story/sports/college/university-of-memphis/football/2016/02/01/tiger-football-recruiting-rb-who-flipped-from-colorado-calls-memphis-perfect-fit/90432864/
The Commercial Appeal Published 6:58 a.m. CT Feb. 1, 2016

Atascocita (Texas) High School running back Patrick Taylor Jr. spent only two days at the University of Memphis on his official visit, but it already felt like the perfect fit.
"I just felt like family, you know?" he said over the weekend. "Going on an official (visit) for like two days, I already felt like I was part of the family."
The three-star running back announced Thursday night that he was flipping his commitment from Colorado to Memphis, becoming the first running back to join Mike Norvell's inaugural recruiting class as head coach. Taylor also listed Louisiana-Lafayette as a finalist and reportedly held offers from several other schools, Colorado State and Texas State among them.
After decommiting from Colorado I'm blessed to announce that I am officially Committed to The University of Memphis pic.twitter.com/oJ7RlGnPFr
— PATRICK TAYLOR JR (@__PatrickJr) January 29, 2016
The Humble, Texas, native said he loved the family feel at Memphis, the bond among coaches and staff members he saw during his visit. And for Taylor, the family theme goes deeper; Atascocita wide receiver Coye Fairman, who committed to Memphis last week, is his first cousin.
"So during the recruitment process, we always joked about going to the same college. We never thought it would happen," Taylor said. "But the opportunity presented itself. It was the perfect fit for him, and it was the perfect fit for me. So hey, we're in this together. Let's go."
The 6-foot-2, 210-pounder ran for 1,405 yards and 20 touchdowns during his senior season. He said he tries to model his game after Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'veon Bell -- smooth, patient and precise in his cuts.
"But what I'm focusing on more now is my speed, being able to finish off runs when I get out in the open, stuff like that," Taylor said.
Taylor's decision came down to three schools: Colorado, Louisiana-Lafayette and Memphis. He eliminated Louisiana-Lafayette because he couldn't see himself playing in the Sun Belt Conference, and he wasn't sure what position he was going to play at Colorado.
"They were telling me they were going to put me at running back, but I wasn't sure what they were going to play me," said Taylor, who orally committed to the Buffaloes in August.
With Memphis, Taylor said the communication was more clear. Offensive coordinator Chip Long visited him at his house the week before his official visit and laid out a plan. Norvell and running backs coach Darrell Dickey reiterated that plan during his official visit.
Less than a week later, Taylor had made up his mind, bringing his recruiting process to an end. He plans to sign with Memphis on National Signing Day on Wednesday and arrive at campus this summer.
"At times it was stressful, but it was more exciting than it was stressful," Taylor said of the process. "I enjoyed it."

Q: What User Mode Graphics Driver (UMD) does OpenGL call in the Graphics Pipeline? According to Windows:

Graphics hardware vendors must write user-mode display drivers for
  their display adapters. The user-mode display driver is a dynamic-link
  library (DLL) that is loaded by the Microsoft Direct3D runtime. A user-mode display driver must at least support the Direct3D version 9 DDI.

e.g. nvd3dum.dll is the UMD for DirectX11 running with Nvidia. So shader compilation happens here from DirectX code called from the API, before it goes to the Kernal Mode Driver.

Also does a UMD put code in a intermediate representation? (e.g. can you say the driver is a Intermediate Language)?

A: OpenGL has basically always had a user-mode component of some sort on Windows beginning as far back as Windows 95 OSR2. The separation of client/server in the architecture made this extremely easy to do. What this means is that a lot of the client-side API can do basic command queuing, validation, resource creation, etc. without having to switch to kernel-mode.
Historically, this meant that draw calls, for instance, were cheaper in OpenGL than Direct3D. In Windows Vista (WDDM) the situation changed, WDDM mandates a User Mode Driver for D3D (this includes D3D9 on Vista) that serves a similar role to OpenGL's client-side front-end. The benefits are two-fold:

*

*If the driver crashes while doing something in user-mode the issue often will not propagate beyond the application that caused the issue (rather than a full-blown kernel panic).

*More actual work can be done without switching between user-mode and kernel-mode, which means that the API itself will be less of a bottleneck at render-time.
D3D10 focused a lot on reducing the overall overhead of the API, and the User Mode Driver introduced to WDDM actually benefits D3D9 applications as well. WDDM changes very little about how OpenGL architecturally operates in newer versions of Windows, although it does add a few new features that make interoperability between D3D/GL simpler (e.g. surface sharing).
Also, to answer your question - yes, shader compilation is just one of many things that OpenGL ICDs can do in user-mode on Windows.

A returnship programme works like an internship and acts as a bridge to get back to work. Companies recruit on a temporary basis, test your skills and train you. They then absorb you if you perform well. You are likely to be paid for the projects you work on, but do not expect the compensation to match industry standards. "Nearly 70-80 % of the candidates get an offer after completion of their training with the company," says Jyotika Singh, founder and facilitator, relauncHER , a platform that helps bring women back to work after a career break. Most big companies, including Tata, GE, Cisco, HCL Tech, Dell, IBM, L'Oreal and Maybelline, have returnship programmes only for women. "This is because over 90% of the resumes with career breaks are of women," says Sairee Chachal, founder, SHEROES, a mentorship and job search platform for women professionals.
Finding a job is tougher when you have taken a break and lost touch with the right people in the industry. Here, return-to-work boot camps, like the ones by SHEROES and relauncHER, help. They arrange for industry meet-ups and create forums for networking with the HR heads and industry leaders, who can mentor you to make the process smoother. "Returning to work requires realigning priorities with reality and a structured approach , and an ecosystem helps one build better momentum," says sir. However, these forums do not guarantee recruitment. "Understand that you might have to start at a level lower than the one you had earlier, and you should be ready to explore new avenues," says Singh.
You may not realise it, but volunteering can help you find employment , especially if you are trying to learn new skills or shift to a new sector. An employer values an on-job experience more, so rather than doing a course to upgrade your knowledge, you can give your services for free to fill the gap in your resume. You can also try overseas volunteering. The selection criteria are quite simple. The companies might ask only for a graduation degree in the area of work, or for an interview . Most of these programmes also give you a stipend. Organisations like iVolunteer Overseas can help you find such opportunities in areas like health, disability , education, livelihood and community empowerment.
There are many part-time options for professionals with prior experience. You can be a freelancer or choose a flexi-time option, you can work in an office or from your home. These options look for experience in business development , recruiting, programming, teaching, marketing communication and content development . People with technical skills will also find ample business opportunities. If your profile or skill-set doesn't match these, try applying to a start-up .
Starting a business is gratifying, but has its challenges, more so if you are returning to the market after a break. A franchise or an affiliate programme, where you become a part of a partner network, can be a safer route. "It allows you to de-risk the operation with established business models and a support structure provided by partners," says Singh. You receive training to run the business along with support material. One of the constraints here is initial investment. Even a low-cost franchise, as the one from SmartQ Education Solutions, a Mumbai-based venture in afterschool educational activities and workshops, requires a one-time , non-refundable , initial partner fee of 40,000 and 2,000 for the joining kit.

Q: How can I convert a text file to a dictionary to be used in Python? I am doing a small programming project for school, one of the main elements of my program is to be able to allow the user to enter a problem (e.g. "my phone screen is blank") and for me to iterate through each word of the string and compare it to a dictionary, and the dictionary must be an external text file, I would like help on the dictionary aspect of this. I have tried a few other methods from different posts of stack overflow but they do not seem to work.
Some lines of my dictionary include:
battery Have you tried charging your phone? You may need to replace your battery.
sound Your volume may be on 0 or your speakers may be broken, try using earphones.
blank Your screen may be dead, you may need a replacement.

Here, "battery,"sound" and "blank" are they keys with their respective values following on after, how do I plan on doing this?
Thank you!

[edited code]
def answerInput():
    print("Hello, how may I help you with your mobile device")
    a = input("Please enter your query below\n")
    return a

def solution(answer):
    string = answer
    my_dict = {}
    with open("Dictionary.txt") as f:
        for line in f:
            key, value = line.strip("\n").split(maxsplit=1)
            my_dict[key] = value
            for word in string.split():
                if word == my_dict[key]:
                    print(value)

process = 0
answer = answerInput()
solution(answer)

A: my_dict = {}  # defining it as a dictionary
with open("file.txt") as f:  # opening txt file
    for line in f:
        key, value= line.strip("\n").split(maxsplit=1)  # key is before first whitespace, value is after whitespace
        my_dict[key] = value

This will work well, something I have used personally.
It initiates a dictionary called my_dict,
opens the file and for each line it strips \n from the line and splits it once only. This creates two values which we call key and value which we add to the dictionary in the form {key: value}
Or, using dict comprehension
with open("file.txt") as f:  # opening txt file
    my_dict = {k: v for k,v in (line.strip("\n").split(maxsplit=1) for line in f)}


It truly is a new 12 months, you've established new targets, and you've determined it really is time to go to treatment. Now what? Moving into "find therapist" into your google search window is not likely to assist. There are a great deal of therapists out there, but finding the appropriate a single for you can be as complicated as making an attempt to discover a great day on-line.
After much more than 15 many years of seeing a selection of therapists myself, I have had my share of undesirable encounters. I as soon as met with a therapist who greeted me at the doorway dripping sweat and dressed like Run-D.M.C. (sans gold chain), straight from the gymnasium. And although I don't think a therapist's outfit is a reflection of competence, I do recognize a individual who cools down first and attire in a expert fashion. And then there was the girl whose very first query was "So, what is actually mistaken with you?" Not just the best way to generate a sense of basic safety.
But do not allow me scare you off, I've also had wonderful, life-altering, not-confident-what-I-would've-accomplished-with out-'em therapists. So even if it appears like you have to kiss a lot of frogs just before you locate your "theraprince," the result is absolutely value it. Under you will uncover my best five ideas for how to locate an amazing therapist.
Asking people you have confidence in for tips is a great spot to start. This could be a buddy, family member, coworker or other well being skilled. If an individual you trust can make a referral, this can act as a prescreening approach. If you have a pal or family member who is a therapist, they would also be a very good person to ask as nicely. Therapists are likely to have good information about other reliable folks.
Feel about why you are looking for support and if required, discover an individual who specializes in dealing with your specific problem. If you are struggling with one thing quite specific like OCD, ADHD, habit or an consuming condition, it is very critical that you see a person who specializes in the treatment method of these disorders. There are evidence-based mostly protocols which are utilised specifically to successfully deal with concerns like these detailed over. If you are looking at someone who does not have specific coaching in your troubles, you may well be squandering your time and cash. Also, somebody who statements to be an expert in every little thing is very likely an skilled in practically nothing. The discipline of mental health is just too broad for any of us to be specialists in all troubles, so beware of somebody who promises this sort of things.
The internet is a excellent useful resource for locating and studying more about local therapists. Psychology These days has a complete listing of therapists and permits you to research based mostly on numerous diverse factors. To be detailed on Psychology These days, therapists should show that they have an advanced degree and up-to-date specialist license. You can study profiles or click on through to specific therapist sites. If you are instantly turned off by someone's tone, pay attention to your intestine and keep searching. Just make certain you are searching in industry-appropriate areas. For illustration, Yelp is wonderful for dining establishments, but the identical theory doesn't utilize to treatment. Locating a excellent therapist is a great deal more nuanced than obtaining out which cafe makes the ideal duck-body fat fried Brussels sprouts.
A) What is your type like?
This is essential. Even if someone is a very competent therapist, his or her design might not jive with yours. Try out to get ΨΥΧΟΛΟΓΟΙ ΑΘΗΝΑ feel for what it would be like to be in the room with the person. Are they active and engaged or will you be carrying out most of the vast majority of talking? Will they be giving you homework or will all the "operate" come about in the periods themselves?
B) Do you have knowledge working with my situation? If we were doing work jointly on this problem what can I count on?
You want to make certain that the therapist has familiarity and is comfortable functioning with the situation that introduced you to treatment.
C) What is your theoretical orientation?
There are many different educational institutions of imagined in psychology and every single therapist techniques issues in a different way based on their training and theoretical orientation. For example, a psychodynamic therapist may well emphasis on childhood background, goals and the unconscious roots of your actions, although a cognitive behavioral therapist will support you recognize problematic views and aid you change those thoughts and their ensuing behaviors. There are numerous different approaches to strategy the exact same issue, and although you may possibly have no notion especially what style you want or need to have, make confident that what the therapist is proposing is anything that seems aligned to your individuality and wants.
Never be overly focused on discovering somebody with lengthy listing of accomplishments. Just simply because a therapist has composed a number of guides or has a hectic community talking timetable, it will not indicate that they are the proper match for you. Study has located that the most effective therapists build powerful therapeutic relationships with their consumers and have very designed interpersonal capabilities including warmth, acceptance, empathy and the potential to accurately determine how a customer is sensation. So give much more excess weight to how you truly feel in the area with the therapist, fairly than their list of accomplishments.
Now that you are armed with strategies for obtaining a wonderful fit I wish you the ideal of luck in your search. I hope you uncover the therapeutic experience as fulfilling and daily life altering as I have. Pleased therapist searching!

History of the Sunrise
The Sunrise Theater is situated amidst the magnolias and long-leaf pines on Broad Street in Southern Pines, North Carolina. The building, erected in 1898, began as a hardware store. In the 1940s, the building became a movie theater which remained a staple of downtown Southern Pines for over 40 years. When the movie house closed its doors, for what appeared to be its last time, in the early 1980s, the Arts Council of Moore County (ACMC) and the Sandhills Little Theater rallied enough community support to restore the building and give it a third life as the Performing Arts Center, owned and operated by ACMC.
In 1998, ACMC transferred the theater's operation to the Sunrise Preservation Group (SPG), citizens concerned with keeping the theater alive for the community. SPG formed a not-for-profit organization and through dedicated effort, compromise and goodwill, the historical theater building has a new lease on life. ACMC transferred ownership of the theater building to the Sunrise Preservation Group in 2005.
Today, the Sunrise Preservation Group is running a thriving entertainment center, an "Art House" of sorts. With first-run and independent films running weekly, the movies at Sunrise have become a popular source of entertainment for Sandhills residents. Musical concerts, live broadcasts of the Met Opera, live community theater and a smorgasbord of other offerings has helped Sunrise Theater continue to be the cornerstone of arts and entertainment in the Sandhills.

The Chicago White Sox say they have a strong pitch for Manny Machado and Bryce Harper. Just don't expect them to sign both star sluggers.
For a franchise with five straight losing seasons and one playoff appearance since the 2005 World Series championship, the Chicago White Sox sure are an optimistic bunch.


Students who have met the entrance requirements of the College and who are matriculating in a program of study leading to a degree, diploma, or certificate may take locally constructed departmental examinations for credit when the department feels the student has the necessary preparation. By taking the challenge test the student is only satisfying the prerequisites needed to enroll in more advanced courses that require the course challenged as prerequisite. Passing a challenge test does not relinquish the student's esponsibility for the actual course content. When the student enrolls in more advanced courses, instructors will assume that the student will have a working knowledge of every competency covered in the course, even if that competency is not specifically evaluated on the examination.
A student may attempt to challenge a test course only once and may not use the test as a course retake. A challenge test cannot be taken if the course is a prerequisite to a course that the student has already successfully completed. The credit(s) earned by passing the challenge test is entered on a student's permanent record when that student has earned 12 credit hours at DMACC. A "T" grade is earned and is not included when computing grade point average. The exam must be completed by the last day to drop classes for that semester (see the DMACC Academic Calendar).
The test may be administered at the Academic Achievement Center of either Ankeny, Boone, Carroll or Urban/Des Moines campus.
The test may be administered by a Business Technology instructor. It is the student's responsibility to have made arrangements with the instructor for taking the challenge test.
Once the exam is completed, the form will be sent to the Registrar's office as either successfully having completed the text or unsuccessfully having completed the test. A successful challenge test will result in a "T" grade being placed on the transcript when 12 semester hours have been completed.
