Toy and Miniature Museum of Kansas City, ReCAP
Toy & Miniature Museum of Kansas City
University of Missouri - Kansas City, Missouri
The Toy & Miniature Museum of Kansas City was founded in 1979 by two avid collectors of toys and miniatures. When their collections outgrew their respective homes, they leased a 1911 historic home on the campus of the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) and opened to the public in 1982.
The founders continued to add to their collections. In 1989, a 14,000 square foot building addition was made to the original building along with increased parking and other site improvements. With the donation of a large toy marble collection, the museum constructed another 12,000 square foot building addition in 2004, for a total facility area of 33,500 square feet.
The museum had a CAP assessment in 1995, but the board staff desired a ReCAP of the entire facility to assist in a strategic planning effort, provide a framework for decision-making and set priorities for future facility improvements.
The Conservation Assessment Program ( CAP ) is a federally funded grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services that is administrated by Heritage Preservation. The grant provides funds a general conservation survey of a museum's buildings, collections, environmental systems and property. Two professional assessors visit each institution; an architectural assessor and a collections or objects assessor.
The assessors spend two days on-site gathering information, touring the museum and its collections and interviewing the staff. Within eight weeks, each assessor transmits a rough draft of their report to the museum for review and comments. The assessors then finalize the reports and issue two copies, one to the museum and one to Heritage Preservation.
The reports provide the following information for each museum:
1. Executive summary including an overview history and background, and a list of recommendations with short-term, medium-term and long-term priorities.
2. Brief description of existing conditions and observations, evaluation and recommendations for the following:
· Site and property
· Building exterior and interior
· Collections
· Photographic survey with comments
· Drawing(s) of site or building floor plan(s)
CP&Associates has two certified architectural assessors, who have completed a total of eleven (11) CAP reports.

Cooper Nixon Emergency Cottage is available for short-term emergency placements, and is located near the main campus of Connie Maxwell Children's Home in Greenwood, SC. The cottage is staffed by two adults, who alternate on seven day shifts, as well as two nightshift staff members. All of the meals, recreation and study sessions are conducted in the cottage by the cottage parents and volunteers. The cottage has a capacity of eight school-aged children and can accommodate both boys and girls. The Adams Campus in Chesterfield has a similar cottage with the capacity of eight school-aged children.
We use the Children and Residential Experiences: Creating Conditions for Change (CARE) practice model. This practice model incorporates six guiding principles that allow us to create a balanced life while helping the child cope with their family circumstances.
Our crisis care program offers many of the same recreational activities as our residential care program. These activities provide our children a rich and full life as well as help them improve their interpersonal skills. Like all Connie Maxwell residents, children in our crisis care receive medical and dental assessments and any needed follow-up care and personal items. We also offer fun birthday parties, holiday celebrations, and access to other campus-wide activities.

Former Federal Prosecutor: DOJ Believes It Can Prove Insurrection Was 'Armed Effort to Overthrow Our Government'
January 14, 2022 at 03:49 PM ET
A well-known former federal prosecutor is making clear how significant it is that the Dept. of Justice decided to charge eleven people, mostly members of the far right wing anti-government extremist group Oath Keepers, with seditious conspiracy on Thursday.
Joyce Vance, the former U.S. Attorney for Alabama for eight years who is now a law professor and MSNBC/NBC News legal analyst, says the fact that DOJ used that charge on Thursday is "very significant" and means they believe they can prove January 6 was "an armed effort to overthrow our government."
"The Justice Department when it speaks has a different burden than when folks in the political arena or in the news media speak," Vance said Friday afternoon on MSNBC. "DOJ knows that if it makes an allegation, it has to be able to prove it in court with admissible evidence beyond the reasonable doubt. So the fact that DOJ is now calling what happened on January 6 "an insurrection" and referencing violence and the firearms – the storing of firearms across the river that you all have just been talking about, strikes me as very significant. It confirms the importance of this event. It was not a tourist day in D.C. It was not a riot. It was a an armed effort to overthrow our government."
Vance says she believes DOJ has "a strong case," says it's clear DOJ has "cooperating individuals who've turned over, for instance, private communications that would be very difficult to obtain."
"The fact that they have access to these communications, that they know who was talking to who but more importantly, what they were saying is essential in proving that conspiracy."
"DOJ will have to prove that there was an agreement to do this, and it will have to prove who was involved in that agreement and what they agreed to do. The fact that they have access to cooperating individuals is what will make this case very strong. backing that up with of course the photographs that we've seen of people moving, you know, firearms wrapped in bedsheets into hotel rooms. The evidence in this case appears to have been very, very carefully put together before DOJ went to the point of indicting and setting forth its claim that it believes it can prove this."

The Daily Beast is reporting that a witness who is cooperating with prosecutors can confirm that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) was told by former "wingman" Joel Greenberg that he'd had sex with an underage girl.
According to the Daily Beast's sources, the witness was in the same room with Greenberg when he called Gaetz and informed him that a woman they had paid for sex was under the age of 18.
The witness in question is talk radio host "Big Joe" Ellicott, who earlier this week pleaded guilty to charges of paying bribes and kickbacks, as well as illegally selling Adderall.

"While the sources did not know whether Ellicott had discussed the call with investigators, his account would likely be of critical interest, since it would match a key claim Greenberg made separately in a confession letter," The Daily Beast writes.
Ellicott is not the only potentially incriminating witness Gaetz has to worry about, as a grand jury earlier this month heard sworn testimony from one of Gaetz's former girlfriends, who was granted immunity in exchange for testifying.
Bob Brigham – Raw Story
Former FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok explained two key revelations in an exclusive CNN interview with Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco.
"Major news this morning in a story that CNN broke overnight," CNN's John Berman reported. "For the first time, the Department of Justice is publicly acknowledging that it is looking into a specific aspect of the plot from high-level Donald Trump allies to overturn the 2020 election."
"We learned that federal prosecutors are reviewing the fake electoral college certifications from 2020 that falsely declared former President Trump the winner of seven states, states that he lost," he explained.
RELATED: DOJ confirms probe of fake Trump electoral certificates: 'Our prosecutors are looking' at referrals
"The fake electoral certifications were signed by Trump allies, who falsely claimed to be the rightful electors in Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Wisconsin."
For analysis, Berman and co-host Brianna Keilar interviewed Strzok.
Berman noted Monacco's "carefully chosen words."
"How do you read it?" Berman asked.
"Well, absolutely. You know, in my experience, any time the Department of Justice or FBI makes a comment on an ongoing investigation, particularly at a high level, those words are very carefully chosen and they're very closely scrutinized," Strzok replied. "Certainly, when you hear them coming from the deputy attorney general herself, I have no doubt that the intention and the plan to do that was probably — went up to the attorney general and certainly the office of the attorney general."
"And it's important when you're looking at a statement like that to read it very carefully and there are two things I see in there." he explained. "One, prosecutors are looking at it. What that means to me is they are examining the allegations, they're looking at federal law, they're seeing what the elements of the particular crimes that might be involved are and are looking where the evidence falls and doesn't fall."
"And the second thing, the last point is she says she can't comment anymore on ongoing investigations. That means exactly what it says, that means right now there are investigations — plural — that are open and ongoing within the Department of Justice about this matter," he explained. "So that's a very significant event and to me it indicates just how high the level of investigation is now going within DOJ."
Psaki Rips Doocy Apart Over Crime Claim: 'I Think We Should Be Responsible in Reporting to the Public'
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has clearly grown tired of Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy, even growing apparently angry after delivering an exceptionally long and detailed response to his claim President Joe Biden isn't doing enough to "keep Americans safe."
After he asked, "would you agree that the most important job for any president is to keep Americans safe?" Doocy got slammed with facts.
Crime has existed in America since before America was America, but Doocy suggested in his first year President Biden should have somehow eliminated crime.
"If the President's never satisfied if people don't feel safe," Doocy began, "does he know that after a year in office, people do not feel safe in this country?"
(Fox News has turned crime into a hot business, bragging about its "up-to-the-second crime coverage.")
"Well, Peter, I think if we look at the facts here, we've seen a surge of crime over the last two years. Would you agree with that?" Psaki replied.
"So what are you attributing the rise in crime to that?" Doocy said to a very prepared Psaki, who, in a rare move, accused him of not being "responsible" in his reporting.
"Well, I think we should be responsible in how reporting to the public what the, what the, what the roles are, what the reasons for the surge in crime," she began.
"Gun violence is a huge reason for the surge in crime. Underfunding of some police and police departments and their need for additional resources, something the President has advocated for consistently through the course of his career. That's something we know we need to take action on. And it is absolutely true that he will not be satisfied or complacent when officers are being gunned down or when Americans have to worry about whether they can safely ride the subway or bus," Psaki continued, growing more and more angered. "That should not be a political issue. He's somebody who has had a long career many decades of fighting for funding for police departments for local communities in order to reduce crime."
Doocy was undeterred.
"He's been here in office for more than a year, and the murder rate is nearing a 25-year high. So why don't we see and hear more from the President about this? We hear all the time about things that you guys are doing to fight the pandemic. Because that is a risk to American people. A rising murder rate is a risk to American people too."
"And he has spoken to crime, but I think what people are most focused on as they should be or what actions he has taken. He has unveiled a strategy to focus federal law enforcement resources on combating violent crime, offered unprecedented levels of funding through the rescue plan for cities and states to put more cops on the beat and invest in proven community anti-violence programs, something every Republican voted against."
"The Department of Justice has announced $139 million in grants to cities for community policing, which will put 1000 more officers on the streets. He's also proposed doubling those grants, and he's called for an additional $750 million for federal law enforcement. He's announced a zero-tolerance policy for gun dealers who sell, willfully sell, illegal guns and we've launched gun trafficking strike forces in New York and cities across the country. Actions are important here and he has a long record of them."
"Does the President think that any of that is working?" Doocy dared to ask.
"The president thinks you should have a plan to address crime and gun violence. He has one, and we look forward to working with people who support that effort."
Jen Psaki: "Well, Peter, I think if we look at the facts here, we've seen a surge in crime over the past two years. Would you agree with that? I think we should be responsible in how we're reporting to the public what the reasons are for the surge in crime." pic.twitter.com/vPgz5bl6FH

Georgia Forecasts Hospital System Capacity during COVID-19 Pandemic with Data Analytics Software
With more than 8 million confirmed cases around the world and more than 2 million in the United States, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an unprecedented pandemic that has compelled federal and state governments to implement rapid emergency response. From dashboards reflecting local statistics to daily press briefings and drive-through testing sites, each state has had to manage its response to the pandemic and create innovative solutions to protect residents.
The State of Georgia is no exception, coping with increased hospitalizations and unexpected demands on the health-care system due to 60,000 plus confirmed COVID-19 cases in the state. To evaluate hospital resources and anticipate what might be needed moving forward, state leadership in Georgia, including the Governor's Office and the Department of Public Health, needed a way to better understand, forecast, and visualize critical hospital resources necessary to support COVID-19 patients.
A new task force under the direction of Brigadier General Emmanuel Haldopoulos, chief of staff with the Georgia Air National Guard, utilized analysis software to develop forecasting models and determine whether or not state officials should increase the health-care capacity of state hospitals to aid hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
To better evaluate hospital resources in the state, Haldopoulos assembled the Georgia COVID data analytics team. Georgia governor Brian Kemp requested data to determine whether or not officials should surge health-care capacity in Georgia based on demand forecasting (using past data to make future predictions) in response to COVID-19 hospitalizations. With the rapidly changing crisis, the governor wanted the data in less than 26 hours.
"The only question I was tasked with was, Should we or should we not spend millions of dollars to increase the capacity and the capabilities we have in the Georgia health-care system and bring in outside support?" Haldopoulos says.
Susan Miller, State of Georgia geospatial information officer and a task force member, says state leaders needed to better understand existing capacity and surge capacity, defined as the ability of a state hospital to rapidly and independently raise the number of resources available to support emergency events.
"We needed a better understanding of what beds we have—general and intensive care unit (ICU) beds—and ventilator capacity. We needed to understand the baseline for all of these resources and then immediately start exploring what the potential onslaught of patients might look like around the state under different scenarios," says Miller. "State leaders needed to understand current capacity, as well as predict what the near-term future might hold in store for the state during this unprecedented crisis."
She adds, "They wanted to be as prepared as possible to fill any potential gaps that might occur due to the outbreak to help save lives."
The task force needed a new solution that would allow state officials to easily view data and make fast decisions. He explains that to assess capacity, a database other than a mix of spreadsheets and a process for forecasting had to be developed to allow hospital administrators to report current status.
"We were able to advise [Governor Kemp] with very rudimentary data and graphics that were spreadsheet based, but we knew that the need—not just for that decision but others that would be asked of us in the future—would require some real professional visualization. And that's when we expanded with Esri," says Haldopoulos.
Hospital Preparedness Planning
With 60,000 plus confirmed COVID-19 cases, the state required a way to better forecast critical hospital resources necessary to support patients
The state implemented ArcGIS Insights to bring copious amounts of disparate data to life and make data-based decisions.
ArcGIS Insights made data collection and analysis much faster for the team, and the team says the difference has been night and day.
To begin this predictive modeling on hospital beds and ventilators, Miller says they assembled a collection of amazing minds from different institutions, including Georgia Tech and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and utilized data from the University of Pennsylvania's COVID-19 Hospital Impact Model for Epidemics (CHIME) as well as the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) model.
Miller says, "What we ended up with was an absolute dream team of amazing scientists and subject matter experts from a number of fields all focused on helping us answer critical questions that ultimately enabled the state to be better prepared for the coming weeks and the spread of the disease."
The new task force selected ArcGIS Insights for its capability of translating results into visualizations. ArcGIS Insights is an analytics workbench that offers spatial and nonspatial analysis capabilities and allows users to perform iterative and exploratory data analysis.
Miller says Insights is just one of the Esri tools they implemented to visualize the reality of what's happening in state hospitals and predict the possible impact of COVID-19 under different scenarios.
"We chose Insights because we needed a single place to bring copious amounts of disparate data to life and empower leadership to make data-based decisions. We needed to be able to look at a variety of combinations of the models and break them down by geography to better understand current and surge capacity along with predictive numbers," says Miller.
She adds, "This would allow leaders to better anticipate where we might have surplus or shortages of ICU beds and ventilators needed to save the lives of our residents who become deathly ill."
To forecast what the possible peak demand on the Georgia health-care system would be, the task force focused on the aforementioned critical assets and broke these down beyond the state level to the regional coordinating hospital level, Haldopoulos explains. There are 14 across the state.
Esri published a forecast model template/script that was immediately usable in Insights, which the task force used to run its models along with Esri models and visualize them in Insights. The team used Insights to see all the different models together in one view to help them consider the different approaches and the many data points to help forecast needs for the state.
"With little guidance from the principals beyond the context of some dialogue about the spreadsheet chart and its intended objectives, the Esri team took a 'high school athlete and produced a Navy SEAL,'" Haldopoulos says. "I'll never forget when I first saw the initial draft presentation of the capacity planning tool. I was truly amazed at how the team was able to capture nearly every aspect of the intended functionality."
The use of Insights has given the task force the ability to quickly and efficiently provide a visual of the outputs of various models in one place so it's easily consumable by decision-makers. Haldopoulos says these visuals have helped state leaders make informed decisions faster during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Anytime a policy authoring entity is confronted with decisions made complex by multiple variables, it helps tremendously to graphically depict a situation," Haldopoulos says. "Visualizing the efforts of a data analytics team for state leadership aids in the delivery of the information, both in time and the understanding of the material."
ArcGIS Insights has made data collection and analysis much faster for the team, and the team says the difference has been night and day. Haldopoulos says he was spending half a day gathering data from the five modeling groups and trying to display it on a spreadsheet in a "consumable format by which the pivot table could be populated and the charting created to depict in even the simplest manner."
Miller echoes this sentiment, saying, "Once we got our hospital capacity planner (our Insights tool) built, General Haldopoulos was able to visualize all five models simultaneously for all variables and resources. So, the functionality excelled in every way. The time savings is astronomical."
The ability to create visualizations of data for state officials has been incredibly valuable during the unfolding crisis. "I sat in a room of leaders, and I watched them use the visualizations in Insights to help draw conclusions and make decisions and was so thankful we could give that to them. The analytical and visualization capabilities are incredibly powerful," says Miller.
The task force has received positive feedback following the implementation of ArcGIS Insights. "The organizations we're working with have all repeatedly commented on the task force's excellent work visualizing the observations of these data analytics teams and believe it to be a collaboration and product unmatched in the nation," says Haldopoulos.
Miller adds, "The amazing Esri team made this possible through their technical and subject matter expertise, their industry knowledge with geospatial and epidemiological sciences, and most of all their dedication and passion for helping others in time of crisis."
In an unprecedented crisis, the insights revealed from this project have better-equipped state leaders to make critical decisions that can help save lives.
"The use of the Insights tool has literally brought data to light for multiple stakeholders who would've never had access to such insights and the results of our modeling teams' work," says Miller. "It enabled state leadership to better understand the current landscape for hospital capacity under COVID-19, thus enabling them to be better prepared for the outbreak in Georgia."
"It's impossible to use words to convey the breadth and depth of the data, information, and knowledge packaged up in our various models that ArcGIS Insights brings to life. Insights tells a story that would have otherwise remained buried in rows and columns in a database."
Susan Miller, State of Georgia

Three weeks ago the BIB drew attention to the Old Time Crowdfunder campaign set up to support the making of Kenny Dalsheimer's documentary film You gave me a song: the life and music of Alice Gerrard. At that time, the campaign had raised 10% of the $20,000 target: it's good to learn that very nearly 75% of the total is now pledged (see the 'Banjometer' above), with forty days to go. So success is a great deal nearer, but contributions are still needed. You can see at this link (and on Vimeo) an enjoyable three-minute 'teaser' of the film.

For the pickled red onion, combine the ingredients and set aside for at least 10 minutes. This will keep well for 2-3 days also.
For the coconut sriracha mayonnaise, combine the ingredients and set aside until ready to serve.
Place the chicken, Marion's Kitchen Coconut Sriracha, chilli powder, garlic powder, sweet paprika and vodka in a large bowl. Mix until well combined. Set aside to marinate overnight or at least 10 minutes.
To prepare the chicken for cooking, place the flour in a large bowl or tray. Pour the chicken and the marinade into the flour. Mix and push the crumbly bits of flour so they stick to the outside of the chicken to form a craggly, bumpy coating.
Fill a saucepan or wok to about 1/3 capacity with the vegetable oil. Heat over high heat. Once the oil is hot (320°F or 170°C or when a wooden spoon dipped into the oil forms small little bubbles), add half the chicken pieces and cook for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towel and sprinkle with sea salt. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Cut the chicken pieces in half.
To serve, open up each bao bun and spread bottom with coconut sriracha mayonnaise. Top with the fried chicken pieces. Drizzle with more coconut sriracha and top with pickled red onion and spring onion.


LAREDO, Texas – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers recently seized over $518,000 in alleged crystal methamphetamine during one enforcement action this past weekend.
The seizure occurred on Sunday, Sept. 17 at Juarez-Lincoln International Bridge when a CBP officer referred a 2014 Dodge Journey driven by a 39-year-old female United States citizen from Pflugerville, Texas for a secondary examination. Upon a canine and physical inspection of the vehicle, CBP officers discovered 33 packages allegedly containing 26 pounds of alleged crystal methamphetamine with a street value of $518,521.
CBP officers seized the narcotics and vehicle. The driver was arrested and the case was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement-Homeland Security Investigations (ICE-HSI) special agents for further investigation.


A Dance With the Devil: A True Story of Marriage to a Psychopath | Escape Abuse!
In her page-turning memoir A DANCE WITH THE DEVIL: A TRUE STORY OF MARRIAGE TO A PSYCHOPATH, Barbara Bentley weaves a story of how fairy tale dreams, trust and hope collide with the crazy-making world of psychopaths and domestic violence.
Psychopath — the word evokes fear and reminds us that serial killers stalk our society. Alarmingly, most psychopaths are not killers like Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy, or even killers. Recent studies reveal psychopaths (a.k.a. sociopaths) permeate our everyday lives as ordinary people who move through life wreaking havoc on unsuspecting victims.
As frightening as this revelation is, it is Barbara Bentley's hope that her compelling story will help others recognize the psychopath's deviant behavior before it's too late for them.
Lessons learned are lessons to be shared. Through personal experience, Bentley shows in her book that inspiration is culled from mayhem, hope shines light through darkness, and strength emerges with belief in one's journey.

Driver who killed student in horror road crash avoids prison sentence
Driver who killed Astrid Yeates in road crash avoids prison
By William Brown
Astrid Yeates was just 21 when she died after being struck by a car driven by Steven Clifford Cohen
A TAXI driver who killed a young student by running her over has been banned from the roads.
Johnstone man Steven Clifford Cohen, 58, ploughed into Astrid Yeates while behind the wheel of his silver Skoda Octavia.
She suffered catastrophic injuries, including a fractured skull, and later died in hospital.
Cohen, of Speirs Road, admitted causing 21-year-old Astrid's death by careless driving, in breach of the Road Traffic Act 1988, but was spared a prison sentence when he appeared in the dock at Paisley Sheriff Court last week.
Instead, a roads ban was imposed and he was ordered to carry out work in the community.
The court previously heard that Astrid was making her way to a bus stop when she was struck by Cohen's car on the A77 in Giffnock, East Renfrewshire, on January 18, 2019.
She was heading to Strathclyde University, where she was a Masters student, to deliver a presentation on a scholarship programme.
The force of the collision, which took place at the junction of Woodvale Avenue and Ayr Road, sent her tumbling over the car and onto the ground.
Marks on the road indicated that Astrid had been dragged along by the car before it came to a halt.
Members of the public, including two doctors, rushed to help her as she lay unconscious.
Paramedics later arrived at the scene and she was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, in Glasgow, but her condition deteriorated and she was declared dead.
It's understood that Cohen, who worked as a taxi driver for several years before Astrid's death, voluntarily gave up his job after the tragedy took place.
After considering the facts of the case, Sheriff Gillian Craig decided against imposing a prison term.
She ordered Cohen to carry out 130 hours of unpaid work as part of a year-long Community Payback Order and disqualified him from driving for 15 months.


What Is Diet? How To Do It?
Fats accumulated in the body as a result of inadequate and unbalanced nutrition cause obesity and some chronic diseases. Diet programs implemented in accordance with the rules of healthy eating ensure that individuals reach their ideal weight and regulate both their physical appearance and psychological state.
The ideal weight among diet terms can be defined in many ways. The most commonly used and most trusted weight calculation method is considered as the body mass index. The result obtained by dividing a person's weight by the square of his height is considered as the BMI.
Diet, meaning the word meaning, is of great importance as the first step to be taken for slimming. The diet, which means all foods consumed by a living metabolism, is based on intense or restricted food consumption under certain rules. Food choices vary according to the diet applied. The diets applied in the relevant diets, the diets that need to be applied depending on the diseases and the diets preferred by those who have the dependency problem are among the most applied diets.
Dieting requires stability. The aim of the diet is to have a healthy nutrition metabolism and also to keep the body weight at a balanced level. On the other hand, preventing the intake of macro and micro nutrients required to sustain vital functions by releasing the body in order to lose weight can cause irreversible damage. Due to the health reasons, diet regimen should be prepared adequately and balanced. The diet list should be prepared according to the person's eating habits, height, age, weight, chronic disease, occupation and physical activity. Diet soups, diet snacks and diet breads that are low in calories and accelerate metabolism can increase motivation by making dieting more fun.
How Diet Programs Are Applied?
The fact that the diet programs are personalized also makes the application easier. Determining the target before starting the diet is one of the factors that affect the successful weight loss process. Failure to lose weight by placing too large targets affects the motivation and prevents the diet to be sustainable. An adequate and balanced diet menu prepared by the dietitian according to personal characteristics and dietary recommendations, as well as healthy weight loss. Diet and sports support the success of the slimming program by increasing the daily calorie motivation. It usually consists of a healthy diet, 3 main meals and 3 breaks.

Memorable Manitobans: Vincent Leah (1913-1993)
Born at Winnipeg on 29 November 1913, son of Francis and Bridget Leah, he contracted polio at the age of eight. He was educated at Ralph Brown School and Isaac Newton School. He joined the Winnipeg Tribune in 1930 and was a sportswriter there for 50 years. He coached hockey and other sports, especially soccer, and was a constant booster of community sports. He served on an athletic committee of the Manitoba Centennial Corporation. Leah became a columnist for the Winnipeg Free Press in 1980 and also wrote for Seniors Today. He wrote eight books on local and Manitoba history, including West of the River: The Story of West Kildonan (1970), Pages from the Past (1975), A History of the Blue Bombers (1979), and Alarm of Fire: 100 Years of Firefighting in Winnipeg, 1882-1982 (1982).
Leah received numerous awards through the years, including a Manitoba Golden Boy Award (1962) and a Centennial Medal of Honour (1970). The University of Winnipeg gave him an honorary doctorate in 1985.

I was wondering how long this image could go, for the most part, unclaimed by the photographer as Shepard Fairey made such a name from it. Well it finally caught up to him, and I don't think its merited but I'm no judge.
NEW YORK (AP) - An artist who created a famous image of Barack Obama before he became president sued The Associated Press on Monday, asking a judge to find that his use of an AP photo in creating the poster did not violate copyright law.
The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan said street artist Shepard Fairey did not violate the copyright of the April 2006 photograph because he dramatically changed the nature of the image.
The AP has said it is owed credit and compensation for the artist's rendition of the picture, taken by Mannie Garcia on assignment for the AP at the National Press Club in Washington.

Marines welcome newest fighter jet
OKINAWA, Japan (FOX 13) - American Marines have a new tool in the global battle for freedom. This week, a detachment of F-35B Lightning IIs landed on the USS Wasp, marking the advanced fighter plane's first deployment with a Marine expeditionary unit.
The F-35 is one of the military's most advanced new aircraft, including new electronics, sensors, and stealth capabilities. The 'B' variant is the only one capable of near-vertical takeoffs and landings, designed especially to support Marines.
The resulting flexibility allows a lone F-35B to accomplish missions that would otherwise require multiple aircraft, the Marine Corps says.
"This is a historic deployment," offered Col. Tye R. Wallace, commanding officer of the unit that received the planes. "The F-35B is the most capable aircraft ever to support a Marine rifleman on the ground. It brings a range of new capabilities to the MEU that make us a more lethal and effective Marine Air-Ground Task Force."

It was a gray Monday somewhere in the East China Sea as the Lightning IIs arrived, slowly hovering down to the deck of the Wasp. Pilots practiced their signature vertical landings and short takeoffs, and they expect to be fully qualified for operations soon and be ready for regular patrol.
"It's an unbelievable aircraft," added Maj. Michael Wyrsch, an F-35B pilot. "We have seen first-hand in multiple exercises and training events where the F-35 has brought an entirely new level of capability and lethality to the Marines on the ground as well as the overall air fight."

As a life coach who guides people to set goals and achieve them, I first work with my clients to think about, and then focus on, a desired outcome.
This is a process that generates results. Every time. However, some are not so convinced.
Case in point: A good friend of mine, a sales rep for a large company, was telling me that a client of his was asking way too much from him – at least he saw it that way. This client was expecting a list of strategies, and contacts, and sales goals that my friend had to provide. While I was chatting with my sales rep friend it became very apparent that this wasn't his regular style of working. He actually had quite an aversion to it. I asked him if he'd be willing to try this new sales approach if his desire to work with this client was strong enough.
His answer… Goals don't work, nobody ever looks at the goals they make, they're stupid!
Wow! I wasn't expecting such a strong reaction, but it was clear that he wasn't willing to change his sales style, or even try this new approach out, in order to work with this client. Case closed.
I didn't argue my point on why I think setting goals is important. I don't think he would have reacted the way he did if he knew how much value I put into creating goals, and how much that action has to do with achieving a desired outcome. Long story short, having clear goals has made all the difference.
This interaction got me thinking about the pitch I would have made on goal setting, if my friend had actually asked my opinion.
I guess the bottom line is that when I know the results I'm after, and I focus on that outcome, it absolutely, unequivocally works. When I change my focus, the quality of my life also changes.
The key is knowing exactly WHAT you want, WHY you want it, and then making time every day to align your attention and efforts into making it happen. It seems so simple, but it's incredibly powerful and it's how to achieve goals.
I suspect that my friend's attention was more focused on his fear of not being able to deliver what this client wanted. The thought of trying something new, and failing, was too painful for him. If I'm right, this is purely the ego standing directly in his way. Living in fear causes so much unnecessary stress and drama.
This is the very reason I believe that setting goals – especially ones that move me out of my comfort zone - enable growth, skill-building, and new ways to contribute.
Knowing how to set goals helps to clarify what I want and, more importantly, defines the purpose that will drive me to achieve my goals. Sometimes I'm not even sure how I'm going to make them happen, but the very act of writing a goal down and focusing on the desired outcome regularly, means that I'm putting time, energy and intention into finding a way through.
My Challenge For You: I challenge you to write down all the dreams and aspirations you could ever want for your life.
Spend 6 – 10 minutes writing down everything and anything that comes to your mind.
Circle 3 of the items in your list – the ones you think you can make happen within the next year.
Take those 3 outcomes, write down a paragraph of WHY you need to make them happen, and then brainstorm what steps you need to take to get the ball rolling.
Revisit this list every week, or every day, and edit your Action Steps if necessary, but make sure to dedicate time and energy into accomplishing these 3 goals.

Admitted Students Give Back At Food Drive
By Michelle Adams O'Regan
At the February and April Saint Anselm College Open Houses for Admitted Students, attendees and their families donated over 1,500 food items for low-income communities.
For the second year, the Office of Admission at Saint Anselm College conducted food drives, asking high school seniors already accepted to the college and their parents to bring a food donation to the Open Houses.
Donated goods were dropped off at Registration and delivered to Waypoint, the oldest children's charitable organization in New Hampshire. Waypoint services over 10,000 people a year.
"Our Open House Food Drive is the perfect opportunity for future Anselmians and their families to be immersed into our community," says Michael Iorio '07, director of Admission Recruitment. "It's the first of many actions to follow that proves Anselmians are a part of something so much bigger than themselves or this Hilltop campus. I am truly humbled to see our admitted students and their families participate in this tradition."
Founded in 1889, Saint Anselm College is a four-year liberal arts college providing a 21st century education in the Catholic, Benedictine tradition. Located in southern New Hampshire near Boston and the seacoast, Saint Anselm is well known for its strong liberal arts and nursing programs as well as for the New Hampshire Institute of Politics. www.anselm.edu

Eckert, Garcia to meet over report disparity
FIFA's ethics chief will come face to face with the man who compiled the 430-page report into the World Cups corruption.
Mon Nov 17 2014 18:22:42 GMT+0000
Garcia (L) had spent 18 months probing the allegations of corruption [AP]
FIFA's ethics adjudicator Hans-Joachim Eckert will meet investigator Michael Garcia on Thursday to discuss their differences over the probe into the controversial bidding process for the 2018/2022 World Cups.
A source close to the investigation confirmed to Reuters that the meeting would take place on Thursday and said the location had not been decided. No other details were available.
World football's governing body FIFA was plunged into chaos last Thursday when Eckert, head of the ethics committee's adjudicatory chamber, said in a 42-page statement that there were no grounds to reopen the bidding process which led to Russia and Qatar getting the tournaments.
But three hours later, former US prosecutor Garcia, the head of the investigatory chamber who spent 18 months probing allegations of corruption in the bidding process, said Eckert's statement had misrepresented his 430-page report.
Garcia also said he would take his case to FIFA's appeal committee, the latest twist in the investigation which has been dogged by delays and confusion over the exact procedure.
Earlier on Monday, former England FA chairman David Bernstein urged the FA to lobby European soccer's governing body UEFA to organise a European boycott of the next World Cup in Russia unless FIFA reforms itself.
German Football League president Reinhard Rauball has also warned that European soccer federations could pull out of FIFA if Garcia's complete report is not made public.


Not only is the interpretation of network traffic crucial to analyse the safety and performance of a network structure, but also for other tasks, such as incident management, the optimisation of our network infrastructure or for didactic purposes. In order to do so, it is necessary to have dissectors that help separate each of the fields that make up a protocol, and allow them to be individually analysed.
From the point of view of cybersecurity, access to automation and industrial control systems is one of the most critical control points and that's why special care must be taken when it comes to applying access security and fortification policies. On occasions, it is necessary to carry out remote tasks such as, for example, maintenance, upgrading or device or application management work. Thus, external personnel outside our company may perform said tasks, including manufacturers, wholesalers or providers of services, making it necessary to protect these accesses from potential threats.


Cape Town - Heavy mid-match rain forced the Dolphins to endure a third successive home RAM SLAM T20 Challenge washout as their clash against the Cape Cobras had to be abandoned at Kingsmead in Durban on Friday night.
The hosts, whose previous two home games did not see a ball bowled due to the weather, did at least give the 5500 fans that turned up some entertainment in the 22.1 overs that were played.
Most of the performing, though, was done by the visitors, in particular their captain JP Duminy who smashed an unbeaten 85 off 44 balls (8 fours, 5 sixes).
Hashim Amla also made 40 as the Cape side amassed 172 for four in their 20 overs after losing the toss and being put in to bat first.
It did rain during Duminy's knock, which included smashing Andile Phehlukwayo for 25 in the final over, but not enough for the players to go off.
However, a massive thunderstorm that had been threatening eventually arrived with the Dolphins on 8 for one in 2.1 overs forcing an early end to the game.
It was the fourth washout for the hosts this season and left them frustrated once more.
They have only managed to play two of their six games and now have a total of 12 points, with the Cobras up to 14.

July deadline for free trade pact
By chrissychin@protonmail.com Monday November 14th, 2011 No Comments
Home » Blog » July deadline for free trade pact
HONOLULU: The United States and its eight Trans-Pacific Partnership allies have agreed to complete the broad outlines of the free trade agreement by July next year.
Leaders of the member countries, including Malaysia, who met here yesterday also agreed the partnership should be inclusive and opened to other countries to pave the way to free trade across the Pacific.
President Barack Obama, who hosted the meeting, the first among the partnership's leaders, said the pact will secure prosperity for the region by increasing region-wide trade and investment as well as boost exports and create jobs in member economies.
In a joint statement released after the meeting, the leaders said they shared a "strong interest" in expanding the deal and that negotiators would meet in December to make headway on the pact.
"Taken together, the eight economies will be America's fifth largest trading partner with US$200bil (RM628bil) in annual trade and nearly 500 million consumers between us.
"There is so much we can do together.
"The Trans-Pacific Partnership has the potential to be a model, not only for Asia-Pacific but future trade," Obama said at the end of the meeting, which was also attended by Prime MInister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
The other TPP partners are Australia, Brunei, Chile, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. More countries have expressed interest to join the pact, including Japan and Mexico.
Najib, in an immediate response, said Malaysia was committed to the deadline but it required great effort.
"Very clear direction should be given to negotiators and resources, in terms of budgetary (requirements), to make sure this process has enough momentum to achieve the July deadline," he added.
Najib said he told the meeting the pact must have key operative words, such as being flexible and realistic in taking into account domestic requirements, different levels of development and different levels of domestic priorities.
"These are important things for the nine member countries in the partnership to be mindful of in trying to achieve and accelerate the timetable," said Najib, who is here to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit.
Meanwhile, in a briefing to Malaysian reporters later yesterday, he said during bilateral talks with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, they touched on expanding trade ties.
"He said Russia is happy with Petronas' investment and wants the national oil corporation to expand its operation.
"We also discussed space exploration and may consider purchasing more Sukhoi (aircraft).
"We are also looking at Russia for the palm oil market and possible increase in flights to Russia, including to Vladivostok," added Najib.
He mentioned that he also met Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt, who was writing a book on the Internet and wanted Najib's views.
The Prime Minister said he told Schmidt that, as a politician, he engaged the public through social media, blog and tweeting regularly.

Elegant architecture can be hard to reconcile with the darkest era in a country's history. Yet this was precisely the challenge faced by the architects Andreas Veauthier and Dr. Nils Meyer with the restoration of the 'Schwimmhalle Finckensteinallee', a swimming pool located in southern Berlin.
"The design was considered highly modern and elegant both for its time, and still is today."Originally designed by architects Karl Reichle and Karl Badberger as a paragon of Nazi architecture, the pool opened in 1938 as a physical training facility for the SS Leibstandarte, the personal bodyguard division of Adolf Hitler. Despite its distressing origins, the design was considered highly modern and elegant both for its time and still is today with its lofty windows and Neoclassical proportions. We sat down with Andreas Veauthier to find out more about and the challenges of restoring a warm, humid space, the struggle to save historical buildings from demolition, and the role of an architect in coming to terms with a building's troubled past.
Schwimmhalle Finckensteinallee is not the first swimming pool that you've worked on. How the architectural design of swimming and sports facilities in Berlin come to be one of your areas of specialization?
The question of specialization is always a tricky one, because at a certain point, you simply come to have certain areas of specializations. It's not like you say, "now I want to become a specialist in swimming pools", but rather you do your work, and the credentials you earn eventually turn you into a specialist. The key point is those credentials.
"The pools we've worked on represent an incredible type of architecture, one that's becoming increasingly rare today."What particularly interests me about working on swimming pools is that they are public spaces. They're big open rooms that play host to many people. In comparison to say, an office building, they have much more foot traffic – people who come to swim because of the architecture, perhaps. The second thing that comes to mind is that we work on existing public buildings of a certain caliber. The pools we've worked on represent an incredible type of architecture, one that's becoming increasingly rare today. Schwimmhalle Finckensteinallee represents a very modern style of architecture. It's an unbelievable space, and so to be able to work on it was an incredible opportunity.
What are the specific aspects when working on a swimming pool? What makes it different to the refurbishment of other types of buildings?
That's an easy one: A swimming pool is very warm and very humid. So each element of its construction is under constant strain. Every element that is built – be it wood, plasters, or stone – must be able to withstand a lot of moisture and a lot of heat over the decades. This is what distinguishes swimming pools from gymnasiums – which are cold – or town halls, which vary between the warm and the cold. The whole task takes on a whole new dimension when you're working with historical buildings, say 80- or 100- year old surfaces, which still need to be able withstand heat and moisture today, whilst many pools built in over the past 20 years are already in decay.
Floor and section plans of Schwimmhalle Finckensteinallee.
Which element of the project did you find to be most challenging?
"The big task was to work with these limitations to recreate the original cellingThe most challenging aspect was the ceiling."There used to be a large, bright ceiling that let daylight flood through, but we couldn't rebuild it in its the original style as the roof was badly damaged. The ceiling that was inserted by the Americans when they took over the building after the war was a white drop ceiling – it was so hideous! The big task was to work with these limitations to recreate the original celling, without allowing direct daylight through. The work we did on the windows was also very interesting. And we completely replaced the pool itself – it used to be five meters deep, and was destroyed. Our main task was to build a new pool with a lot less water, in order to save energy. We also had to consider the acoustics, which hadn't been taken into account in the past, not to mention ventilation, which is very complex, especially when working on historical buildings. Since September 2014, the pool has been – for the first time ever – barrier-free: Fully open to the public, to both genders, and accessible via wheelchair.
Could you tell us more about the hall's original architecture?
"That is of course the challenge: How do you go about democratizing such a building, opening, making it accessible to the public?"Schwimmhalle Finckensteinallee was built in 1930s and originally served as a physical training facility for the SS Leibstandarte, as part of a large military complex in the south of Berlin. It was built very quickly, without a paragon at that time. Well, there's a very modern pool from the 1930s in Gartenstraße, Mitte, but Finckensteinallee was the largest swimming pool in Europe of its time. It was built solely for men, given that the soldiers were all male, and it was created as a utopia for fitness. The ten-meter diving board set the scene, and – for the 1930s – the building was extremely modern, due to its integration of highly technical features. For example, even today the cellar contains ventilation systems that you can walk through – they're as large as a two-family house.
For me, the architecture isn't 'Nazi architecture', as in, conservative. Yes, the hall was built by Nazis for Nazis, but today fewer Nazi elements remain – and that is of course the challenge: How do you go about democratizing such a building, opening, making it accessible to the public? It's not easy. We approached it by focusing on the important elements of its architecture – the precious stones, the construction of the windows – and went about restoring and refurbishing these.
Can you elaborate on your approach to the uneasy historical background of the building? What do you think is most important for an architect when dealing with the architecture with such a difficult past?
"I think the most important thing for an architect facing such a challenge is not to lie, not to suppress the past or turn away from it."I think the most important thing for an architect facing such a challenge is not to lie, not to suppress the past or turn away from it, but rather respect the original characteristics of the building. We didn't transform it into something else, because we didn't overrate or place too much importance on the characteristics of a Nazi building. For me, it's a modern 1930s design. Of course, the dimensions hark back to a certain time – you can compare it to the departure hall of [the now defunct] Tempelhof Airport, for example, which is also a particularly beautiful space – but it's not like we built the place anew, it doesn't represent my style of architecture. If we built it from scratch, it would of course be totally different. But our task was one of restoration, of which I fully understand the purpose, because it's a testimony of the architecture of its time. As architects, our contribution was to ensure that nothing was misplaced or put aside: That it remained intact as a testimony. It's doesn't represent the Nazi architecture of 1945, but instead the very early Nazi architecture of 1936, that – as a typology of a sports facility – was not dictatorial or manipulative. It's principally a bright, transparent and modern example of 1930s architecture, and one that was completely justifiable to refurbish.
Berlin is a city with a layered history and an eclectic architectural landscape. Are there any other recent renovations of historical buildings that you find noteworthy?
I think we're living in a moment in time in which we misunderstand history, in which we haven't yet come to terms with it. On the one hand, we have many memorials that aren't restored, as the 'public domain' says there's no money for it, and on the other hand, we have new buildings that are designed completely eclectically, even in historical styles. Many new apartment buildings look like they were built 100 years ago, without the quality and integrity that existed at that time. In this respect, we approach history in a complicated, burdened way. The imbalance is highly prevalent in Berlin, though it hasn't always been this way, looking back over the past two decades. Up until the turning point, we took a very modern, avant-garde approach to history, to historical structures, and then came the turning point and the critical reconstruction of Berlin, where it was said that Berlin is 'almost there', we just need to complete it.
"We don't have the money to preserve our own heritage – take the Olympiapark Schwimmstadion, for example."At this time, all questions of 'how could we do it differently?' were ignored. And from this eventuated the architectural tendency towards the conservative, which set the direction of the city's evolution. Today we're at a point where we have a very repressed, burdened approach to history. We don't have the money to preserve our own heritage – take the Olympiapark Schwimmstadion, for example. This city is full of incredible historical buildings that are partially in decay, as we're not restoring them. Therefore I saw it as very important that the Schwimmhalle Finckensteinallee was renovated, because I think Berlin is the swimming pool capital of Europe: We have many designs and it makes sense to restore them, as there are hardly any more of their kind them remaining in Germany. We have the Olympic Stadium from the 1970s in Munich, and in Wuppertal there's the Schwimmoper from the post-war years – but we have very few remaining large swimming pools in which the public can swim in today. Here in Berlin, it was hard to convince the Senate of Berlin that it was necessary to renovate the Schwimmhalle Finckensteinallee. It was too expensive. "Why can't you tear it down and build it again, much smaller?" They asked. We replied, "No, it's a monument. It can't be torn down, and neither should it be – it's beautiful.

Apple Says Developers Have Earned Over $70 Billion From App Store Since It Launched
Thursday June 1, 2017 6:26 am PDT by Joe Rossignol
Apple today announced that its global developer community has earned over $70 billion since the App Store launched in 2008.
"People everywhere love apps and our customers are downloading them in record numbers," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. "Seventy billion dollars earned by developers is simply mind-blowing. We are amazed at all of the great new apps our developers create and can't wait to see them again next week at our Worldwide Developers Conference."
Given that Apple takes a 30 percent cut of App Store sales, including in-app purchases, the App Store's all-time revenue has likely passed $100 billion.
Apple said App Store downloads have grown over 70 percent in the past 12 months, led by the Gaming and Entertainment categories. Lifestyle apps, as well as Health and Fitness apps, have experienced over 70 percent growth in the past year. The Photo and Video category has also grown nearly 90 percent in that time.
Last month, following its quarterly earnings results, Apple said App Store revenue grew 40 percent year over year to set an all-time quarterly record, but it didn't disclose the exact amount. Apple said the App Store's success has been boosted by "breakout hits" like Pokémon GO and Super Mario Run.
Apple last disclosed its App Store payout amount in August 2016, when CEO Tim Cook said developers had earned over $50 billion.

So apple made 30B just by using the Developers' IP. Good.
Let's not forget they set up the entire end-to-end infrastructure to create and distribute the apps, all the way from designing and releasing the applications used to program them - and even making their own programming language to boot - hosting said apps on their servers, designing the operating system used to run the apps, and last but not least designing and producing the actual hardware devices that run them.
Let's not forget that little part.
keysofanxiety
That's crazy. Such a cool idea and then everyone else (Google, Microsoft) followed suit
Well agreed it was a good idea, though the concept of apps on a device was far from a new one, and ironically Jobs was really opposed to the App Store in the first instance. I think the original iPhone only had Safari widgets or something.
There was a lot of internal pressure from inside Apple and external pressure from developers to really open up the iPhone and let people make proper apps for it. It's great that they did it though I doubt they honestly imagined the iPhone selling nearly a million units a day within a decade either. The iPhone is such an unbelievable success story.

Weird to announce that now and not at WWDC.
I bet they'll mention it at WWDC
OldSchoolMacGuy
The App Store provides a lot. Keep in mind that for us developers, 30% is nothing compared to the 40-50% that a normal reseller takes.
The App Store provides a place to be seen. It means small developers who would never be found normally, now have the chance to be seen by an audience of millions. They build a market place and that has HUGE value.
Imagine you're trying to sell you hot sauce. How will your product be found? Getting your product into a big grocery chain like Costco means that millions could see and purchase it. That's what Apple is providing everyone with the App Store. Without that, these developers would just be selling it on their little websites which few would find due to their limited marketing abilities to rank well in search engines and be found.
Developers could choose to instead develop for Android and not pay those fees but Apple has created an ecosystem where people are cool with paying for good apps. Apple users spend on average 4x more than Android users. They're much more willing to pay for an app and that's hugely attractive to anyone looking to sell an app.
They also provide an easy way to update apps, advertise them, monitor sales, and many other tools that small developers wouldn't normally have access to.
Complain all you like about the 30% cut that Apple takes but the truth is that few developers are complaining. We get far more from the deal than the small fee we pay.
Amazing Iceman
I made about $5.00 out of the $70 Billon, and didn't get a check yet, because it's a very small amount.

Including Apple, if I recall, who initially planned on having web apps serve as the primary way to consume content on iPhones. Thank Cydia for demonstrating the potential of a dedicated App Store.
