Bordentown records first 10-win season on the gridiron

Things are looking up on the gridiron for the Bordentown Regional High School football program and Coach Skip Edwards was thrilled to watch history unfold this past season.
Bordentown recorded its first 10-win season in program history by going 10-1 in a 2021 campaign that was filled with many highlights.
"I'm still trying to understand what happened out there," Edwards said. "Ever since the second game of the season, the team kept improving each week. We peaked at the right time towards the end of the season."
The second game of the season for Bordentown marked its only loss of the fall, losing 40-7 to Gloucester City.
After that loss, Edwards watched his Scotties take their game up a notch in every contest going forward. Bordentown won its final nine games of the season, outscoring its opponents 369-69 in the process.
Leading the offensive charge for the Scotties was junior tailback Kerry Nicholas. He had a banner 2021 campaign, rushing for over 1,700 yards and tallying 20 total touchdowns.
In his career, Nicholas has been a barn burner in the return game for Bordentown. He currently has four kickoff returns for touchdowns, Edwards said.
It's been a joy for Edwards to watch Nicholas develop into a stellar running back in the Bordentown backfield during his three years at the varsity level.
"He's a humbled young man that leads by example," Edwards said of Nicholas. "He's fast and has great vision. He's running the record books for Bordentown right now."
Nicholas was joined by a host of fellow tailbacks in the Bordentown backfield that had stellar seasons for the Scotties this fall.
Senior Omari Owes was one of those backs, rushing for 800 yards and 10 touchdowns. Junior fullback Michael Poinsett and sophomore tailbacks Myles Hansford and Elijah Dean each recorded three rushing touchdowns over the course of the season for the Scotties.
Bordentown's success running the football this season came with improvement each week along the offensive line that was led by Cameron McDuffie and Kevin Santana.
An offensive line that was a work in progress at the start of the season did a good job coming together as a unit over the course of the fall, Edwards said.
"The offensive line got better week by week," Edwards said. "Coach Mike Smith did a nice job working with the kids and getting them to work as a unit."
The man at the controls of the Bordentown offense was three-year starting quarterback Dennis Morolda.
Morolda tallied seven touchdowns this season for the Scotties and did a good job operating the offense, the coach said.
In addition to its explosive offense, Bordentown was even more physical and lights out on defense.
Bordentown recorded five shutouts this season and held its opponents to under an average of seven points a game in each of the team's 10 victories this season.
Trotman Kertes, Christian Montalvo and Liyu Chen led the way in the trenches for Bordentown on the defensive line. Poinsett quarterbacked the defense in the middle at linebacker, while Shane Griffin and Maurice Cicca held down the fort on the back end with great seasons for Bordentown in the secondary.
Edwards credits the defense's success to the coaching of defensive coordinator Rich McGlynn.
"Coach McGlynn did a good job working with the secondary and getting our defense prepared for each game," said Edwards. "Every defensive day in practice we teach tackling and it really helped the kids in the games."
Bordentown won the final six games of its regular season schedule to earn a 7-1 record heading into the state tournament seedings.
Unfortunately for the Scotties, their 7-1 mark wasn't enough for them to accrue enough power points to make the state playoffs.
Edwards said that his group was disappointed that they didn't make the playoffs after a great regular season.
With two crossover games and its annual Thanksgiving Day game against New Egypt remaining in the 2021 season, Edwards and his coaching staff put a challenge up to their players to make the rest of the games their postseason.
Bordentown responded to that challenge in a thunderous way. The Scotties roared to a 35-0 victory over South River High School and then took down Steinert High School by a score of 37-14.
When his team arrived for the 21st annual Turkey Bowl Game against rival New Egypt on Nov. 25 in Bordentown, Edwards knew his squad was ready to go and make history on its home turf.
Led by Nicholas and its stellar defense, Bordentown rolled to a 30-0 victory over New Egypt to become the first team in program history to win 10 games in a single season.
It was a great way to cap off an amazing turnaround by Scotties, who just two years ago in 2019 went 0-10.
Now, the Scotties are coming off two straight winning seasons and with a host of starters coming back next year, Bordentown is lined up to have an even better season in 2022.
"Our senior class next year is very talented," Edwards said. "They're very focused on what they need to do on the field to win. There's a couple things we will need to get better at, but we can be just as good or better next year."

Green Leasing Series: Introduction to Green Leasing
By Geoff White on February 6, 2009 in Green Leases
This is the first in what will be a series of articles here at GRELJ on green leasing. Future articles will consider the unique legal risks of green leasing and a more detailed analysis of the various green leasing standards and form green leases currently available to owners and tenants.
Green building and leasing is increasingly becoming a best business practice for many of the largest retailers in the country. The generally perceived benefits of leasing a green building or tenant space is (i) increased worker productivity, (ii) profitability through long-term utility cost savings, and (iii) reputation enhancement, to both customers and potential employees. Although far from an exhaustive list, companies such as PNC Bank, Wal-Mart, McDonald's, Subway, Target, Staples, Kohl's, and Best Buy have either all opened "green" stores, or are currently constructing a "green" store or branch.
As noted in the New York Times article linked above regarding best business practices, many of these companies view green building as a tool to reduce costs during this challenging economic time. In December of 2007, President Bush signed the Energy Independence and Security Act ("EISA") of 2007, which set goals and standards to reduce energy use in federal buildings, including buildings in which the federal government leases space. These are the types of tenants that developers need to be able to attract during challenging times. As a result, green leasing will likely exponentially expand in the years ahead.
What is a green lease?
Much like the term green building, green lease is a term without a widely accepted definition. (Editor's note: this is a critical point that we will be exploring in detail in future articles in this series). A green lease can take many forms. However, the key concepts in any green lease are: (i) rent structure and operating expenses; (ii) build out of tenant improvements; (iii) sustainable development principles and regulations (throughout the building or larger development); (iv) the use and disposal of hazardous materials, including cleaning supplies; (v) recycling; and (vi) environmental management plans. A green lease will generally detail environmentally friendly products to be used, water and energy conservation methods and targets, the use of alternative sources of energy on-site, such as solar or wind, indoor air quality standards, and dispute resolution procedures.
The two most prominent green leasing standards currently available are promulgated by the United States Green Building Council ("USGBC") and the Building Owners and Managers Association International ("BOMA") USGBC's Leadership in Environment and Energy Design ("LEED") program utilizes widely accepted standards in the green building movement to certify tenant spaces through its Commercial Interiors certification process. This process is able to provide all parties with a framework and a third party classification following the construction of the tenant space. As detailed above, many tenants are now requiring certain levels of LEED certification as it provides a clear and industry wide accepted benchmark as to the company's commitment to going green.
BOMA was founded in 1907 and is made up of members that are building owners, managers, developers, leasing professionals, facility managers, asset managers and the providers of the products and services necessary to operate commercial properties. Its 16,500 plus members own or manager more than nine billion square feet of commercial properties in North America alone. In the summer of 2008, BOMA released its Guide to Writing a Commercial Real Estate Lease, including Green Lease Language (the "BOMA Guide"), which was designed to facilitate the ongoing implementation of sustainable building practices. The BOMA Guide provides both property owners and tenants with a framework to enter into a green lease, although without the rigidity of the USGBC classification and certification process. Although the BOMA Guide will not be universally adhered to, it provides building professionals with the tools necessary to craft greener leases. These smaller steps are also critically important for the movement, as it will allow more property owners and tenants to be able to consider more sustainable features in leases without undertaking the rigorous LEED certification process.

The California Sustainability Alliance has developed strategies to green California's commercial office space. This effort focuses on "green leasing", i.e., integrating sustainability practices into the entire commercial leasing process. The Green Leasing Toolkit 2.0 includes insight on service provider selection; marketing of buildings, development of green specifications; request for proposal (RFP) and letter of intent (LOI) drafting; site selection and due diligence; and the negotiation and drafting of realistic and enforceable lease language.

Home / iPhone / iOS 13 Public Beta 2: Better, but still a very broken beta
iOS 13 Public Beta 2: Better, but still a very broken beta
admin 6 days ago	iPhone Leave a comment 9 Views
iOS 13: A stronger battery, subscription reminders, and other features
ZDNet's Adrian Kingsley-Hughes discusses the latest features that iOS 13 has to offer, including one that will help users manage digital versions of their IDs all in one place. Read more: https://zd.net/2ISS6VI
If you're running the iOS 13 public betas on your daily driver iPhone then you have my sympathies. While the Public Beta 2 release fixes several pretty painful bugs — bugs which I think should never be present in public beta — there's still plenty left to have you tearing your hair out.
Must read: iPhone, iPad, and Mac buyer's guide: July 2019 edition
I've taken a quick look at the iOS 13 Public Beta 2, and while it isn't the horror show that Public Beta 1 was, it's still very rough.
And before you reach for your keyboard to tell me, yes, I know it's a beta, and yes, I know this stuff is to be expected in betas. But the purpose of this piece is not to discuss what beta software means, but to offer those who are thinking of running it an idea of what awaits them.
So, at first blush, there are many fixes, from the Wi-Fi icon now showing consistently, apps run far more smoothly and with fewer crashes, and overall performance is better. Also, wallpapers now display correctly, and according to the release notes, clicking on links in apps doesn't cause apps to become unresponsive (although I still saw this a few times).
However, on the downside, crashes and lockups are still common, many apps display weird and wonky behaviors, and the integration between iOS 13 and iCloud seems shaky, with lots of problems showing up (making it frustratingly unreliable). Large photo libraries also cause the iPhone to slow down to a crawl.
Oh, and if you are running an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus, you still can't get access to the iOS 13 beta… which might not be a bad thing. (UPDATE: A kind reader tells me that he has installed the Public Beta 2 on an iPhone 7 Plus, so the release notes for the developer Beta 3 don't line up completely. UPDATE 2: I have confirmed that the iOS 13 Public Beta 2 runs on iPhone 7.)
The bottom line is that unless you want to play with the beta and are willing to put up with broken things, or you need it to test stuff, my advice is to give it a wide berth. It's too shaky at present, and so much stuff is broken that it isn't fun to use.
Are you running the iOS 13 Public Beta 2? If so, feel free to share your thoughts below.

Grade Levels Offered
Our school offers a full academic program for Pre-K through 12th grade and a homeschool umbrella program for grades K-8.
Paideia maintains membership in the Association of Classical and Christian Schools (ACCS) and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). Our school is not accredited in order to give us the most flexibility in our curriculum and hiring practices. We are considered a Category IV Church-related Exempted School by the State of Tennessee.
We have not found this to be a limiting factor in our graduates' matriculation to the colleges of their choice.
Paideia Academy (pronounced pie-day-uh) takes its name from the Bible in Ephesians 6:4, where the apostle Paul exhorts fathers to bring up their children in the "training (paideia) and admonition of the Lord." This concept, the paideia of the Lord, involves an all-encompassing education of a citizen of God's kingdom. Paideia Academy is not affiliated with Mortimer Adler's "Paideia Proposal" or the related Paideia schools.
Our school community thrives on parent participation. We strongly encourage parental involvement and have purposefully structured our program to engage parents. We love for you to be active in the classrooms, to volunteer for school events, and to visit with the teachers regularly and frequently. For a listing of many of our volunteer opportunities, click here.
Paideia Academy is a distinctly Christian institution that is committed to the Word of God, the Bible, as the foundation and guide for all we do. We are not associated with any particular denomination or local church. Our Statement of Faith is reflective of historic, biblical Christianity. We have students from numerous area churches of varying denominations. We do require that at least one parent of each family be a professing Christian for admission.
Teacher Requirements
State certification is not a requirement for employment at our school. We are a different kind of academic institution with a different set of standards for our teachers. Our teachers must be active and faithful Christians, have a true love for teaching children, be committed to the classical model of education, have a love of learning and a passion for their subjects. Our teachers generally possess a bachelors degree; two-thirds have graduate degrees, and others are pursuing graduate studies.View our current faculty and staff here. For employment opportunities, click here.
We set standards that will stretch students of all abilities to reach their fullest potential intellectually and spiritually. This means setting the bar high in a way that is both accessible to the average student and challenging to the academically gifted student.
While we do not teach to a test, our students are regularly tested in aptitude, basic skills, concepts, and reading comprehension using nationally recognized standardized tests.
All students in grades 2, 4, 6 and 8 take the ERB CTP (Comprehensive Testing Program) assessment test in the spring. CTP is a reasoning/achievement test battery that is available to more than 1,600 ERB-member public and independent schools. It is designed as a challenging test to measure learning and distinguish achievement even among the higher-level students.
All 11th grade students take the College Board's PSAT test in October. This test also serves as the National Merit Qualifying Test (NMSQT). The PSAT/NMSQT is a standardized test that provides firsthand practice for the SAT, and gives 11th grade students a chance to enter scholarship programs and gain access to college and career planning tools. The PSAT/NMSQT measures critical reading skills, math problem-solving skills, and writing skills.
Most of our high school students also take the the ACT and/or SAT, and many take the Classical Learning Test.
Students with learning differences may be admitted to Paideia provided they meet all regular admissions requirements and are capable of functioning successfully in our classroom setting. Under the oversight of our Assessment & Accommodations Program Coordinator (AAPC), Paideia may make certain accommodations to assist these students, provided their learning disabilities have been clearly diagnosed by a licensed and certified education diagnostician. Securing a diagnosis will be the responsibility of the parents. The parents may also be responsible, financial and otherwise, for providing any and all special equipment, supplies, and tutors needed to accommodate the student.
Paideia reserves the right to decline any accommodation to a student with a diagnosed learning disability.
Fine Arts and Physical Education
Our students receive weekly instruction in specials including music, art or theatre, P.E., and optional band. Upper School students also participate in intramural activities through their halls.
Athletics and Extra-Curricular Activities
We are increasingly providing opportunities as our student body grows. For the 2019-20 school year, we will offer several sports (cross country, volleyball, basketball, soccer), clubs (climbing, robotics, board games), and band.
Computers / Technology
Upper School students in 7th-12th grade will need access to a computer with an internet connection and a printer at home. These students may bring their own device (Chromebook, laptop, or tablet) to school to allow for classroom writing, research, and collaborating as directed by the faculty. Any other student use of electronic devices, including cell phones and smart watches, is prohibited on campus during school hours.
Technology is not heavily integrated into the Paideia curriculum.
3-day University Schedule and Expectations
Parents of students in Kindergarten through 3rd grade may select a 3-day university schedule option to attend classes at Paideia on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and do school work at home on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Teachers will send home lesson plans and assignment packets for these work-at-home days. The packets are parent-friendly and contain all of the instructions, assignments, and details for the day's work which mirrors the 5-day students' day in the classroom. Parents of younger children need to work hands-on with their children during this time, while parents of older students may act more as monitors since these students are expected to work independently. Typically younger students have four hours of work to complete each Tuesday and Thursday, while older students may have up to six or seven hours of work these days. Specials classes (art, music, and PE) scheduled on Tu/Th for the 5-day students do not have at-home work. Parents may wish to supplement by adding their own activities in these areas.
After you become familiar with our school via our website, the next step is to schedule a school visit. From there our admissions staff will explain the procedure and direct you to the online application.
This is really where we learn more about you and your child and can have deeper conversations with you about whether or not this is a good mutual fit. Our online portal guides you through the paperwork. Upon receipt of your completed application, the school office will contact you to schedule a student assessment and family interview with our headmaster. The application doesn't lock you in – it simply opens the door to explore this option more fully.
Accepted applicants will then go into our waiting pool. After current families are re-enrolled, we will invite applicants from our waiting pool to accept any open spots. For more information, please review the ADMISSIONS section of our website or contact our school office.
Many parents are concerned about the transition, but we find that most transfer students adjust readily to the new approach and new curriculum. Although some encounter challenges with the higher standards, the school takes a reasonable approach to new students, allowing them ample opportunity to adjust and catch up as needed. When asked about their experience, transfer students report that their teachers and classmates are very supportive and will help them as needed.
We do not consider transfers for rising seniors unless the student is relocating from outside the area and has been recently enrolled at another classical Christian school.
Mid-year Enrollment
While we do accept mid-year applications, our standards and curriculum may make it difficult for students to begin classes during the middle of the school year. All mid-year transitions will be carefully evaluated with the student's ability to succeed in view.
2019-20 Tuition:
Pre-K: $2,098
Kindergarten: $8,892
1st-6th Grade: $9,240
7th-12th Grade: $9,540
University Schedule Students (K-3): $8,088
Paideia Academy does not charge additional fees for facilities, books, or field trips, although Omnibus students are encouraged to purchase their own copies of their reading books. Co-curricular program fees may be additional. Uniforms and supplies are purchased separately.
Large Family Discount:
4th Tuition: 50% off
5th Tuition and over: Free
We encourage any family that is concerned about their ability to afford a Paideia education to apply for tuition assistance.
Paideia Academy offers financial aid to qualified families with students in grades 1–12 (Pre-K and Kindergarten students are not eligible for financial aid). Paideia utilizes a third-party, Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST), to help determine how much aid the school will provide. Application is made to FAST online after a student has been accepted for enrollment.
Please check with the office for application requirements and deadlines.
Our students wear school uniforms. A detailed list of specific clothing items and suppliers for these uniforms may be obtained from the school office. Land's End and Educational Outfitters are the vendors for the primary items in the uniform list; shoes and accessories may be purchased wherever desired.
Monday through Thursday, students will bring a lunch from home. Brief microwave use (under 3 minutes) is available to students 4th grade and up who can independently heat their own items.
Each Friday, the school offers a hot lunch option. Monthly orders are placed online and billed through the office. The program is parent-run, so volunteers are welcome!

    // while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
       //  System.out.println(st.nextToken()+"xDDDDDDDDDDDD");
     //}

}
}

And now I need help with get the substring of the title after every "title" keyword (in each token!!) in my list and compare them. Any ideas?
Thx in advance! :)

A: I assume that the title will always be within the quotation marks. The problem will then be the same as here, except that the parenthesis should be replaced by quotation marks. So it will be something like:
public String getTitle(String s){
  s = s.substring(s.indexOf("\"") + 1);
  s = s.substring(0, s.indexOf("\""));
  return s;}

Your while-loop would then be:
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
String item = st.nextToken();
String substringWithTitle = item.substring(item.indexOf("title"));
String title = getTitle(substringWithTitle);}

A: if(textLine.startwith("title"){
    s = s.substring(textLine.indexOf("\"") + 1);
    s = s.substring(0, s.indexOf("\""));f
    System.out.println(s);
}

The International Red Brangus Breeders Association (IRBBA) is comprised of breeders who produce and market 3/8 Brahman by 5/8 Angus registered cattle. The hybrid vigor behind the Red Brangus breed offer commercial cattlemen hardiness, resistance to insects and disease, excellent maternal qualities, longevity, fertility, the most heat-tolerance money can buy, and more.
Red Brangus females are moderately-sized and early-maturing. The maternal abilities these cattle offer are unmatched as they milk sufficiently, but not to excess. With shorter gestation periods, Red Brangus females also breed back more quickly than others.
The heterosis in Red Brangus genetics offers a greater profit for producers as it typically generates more revenue and less costs. Red Brangus carcasses are high-quality and produce little waste. More pounds of carcass equals more value for the producer and for the consumer.
Providing sustainable beef for the world's growing population is something the IRBBA takes seriously. We strive to provide our members with the tools, resources and information they need to successfully raise quality cattle.
For optimal success, it's important for commercial cattlemen to market their individual operations, as well as the cattle within those operations. IRBBA membership is a great place to start. IRBBA pledges to supply its members with opportunities and ideas for marketing your operation.
The IRBBA exists to provide marketing avenues for registered Red Brangus cattle within the continental United States as well as tropical areas around the world. Marketing is achieved through member website listing, advertising, private treaty sales, breeder production sales, yearly shows, and an annual Association sponsored sale known as the Genetic Edge Sale. Registration of cattle, administrative functions, and Total Herd Reporting are accomplished by the IBBA.
IRBBA leverages its membership strengths and experience to achieve the objectives set forth while meeting cattle market demands of today and positioning itself to meet the demands of tomorrow.
The IRBBA is a regional association of the International Brangus Breeders Association. The two associations share common objectives in advancing the quality, reliability, and value of Brangus cattle, Black and Red, for the beef industry.
The International Red Brangus Breeder's Association (IRBBA) held its fall membership event "Fall in Love with Red Brangus" Saturday, November 3, 2018 at Chappell Hill, TX.
Scholarship Deadline is April 1, 2019. Applicants plan ahead! Application is detailed and can not be completed over night.
Junior scholarship applicants are eligible from 7th to 11th grade.
Senior applicants are eligible from 12th grade to age 23 as long as they are enrolled in college.

Don't throw away the turkey carcass. Pick all the meat off of it that you can to use for a variety of other recipes. If you don't want to deal with with the meat right away, chop it up and freeze it in manageable small portions.
Homemade broth is the best. You'll be amazed at just how astonishing the taste difference is using homemade broth versus mass produced store bought. Don't worry about putting your best vegetables into the broth pot. If you use organic vegetables, don't peel them, just rinse and chop. The point is to simmer all the flavor out of them. If you don't have a few ingredients, don't worry.
Broth is very forgiving. I don't use lemon in my broth, but some people do. If you want to toss some ingredients that I don't use in, if it makes sense, give it a try.
You don't want to use your very best vegetables to make a broth. You are going to discard every bit of the vegetables once the broth is complete. Try reserving aside your "little bit wilted" celerey sticks or your "day old" carrot sticks and maybe even the onion that has started to sprout at the bottom of the onion bin for making stocks and broths.
Some cooks like to take a meat tenderizing hammer to the carcass to crack the bones in order to expose the marrow. It doesn't hurt and might help reduce the volume of a big carcass to fit into a smaller pot.
Get everything chopped, sliced, diced (and maybe break the bones) and go for it.
You don't have to peel or neatly slice anything. Just break it up into chunks.
Good broth needs to simmer for at least 7 or 8 hours before you serve it. The best is if you can cool it overnight.
Put all the ingredients in a 8 to 12-quart tall stock pot. Add enough cold water to cover by 3 inches. Bring to a gentle simmer, partially cover, and simmer 5 to 6 hours. The longer it cooks, the richer the taste. Keep the solid ingredients covered with liquid.
Check on it every half hour or so. Keep the solid ingredients covered by about 3 inches. If you are losing more than a cup or so every thirty minutes, you probably have it too hot. Back off of the heat a fraction.
When it's done, you'll probably know by the smell. The celerey should look almost white.
Let it cool. Skim any fat from the broth. You can do this by running a folded paper towel over its surface or by skimming it with a slotted spoon or flat spatula wrapped in a paper towel. Discard the toweling and taste the broth for seasoning. If it is way off, season the broth, bring it back to a boil, simmer for at least 30 minutes, and let it cool again.
Strain out the broth. Use a double layer of cheesecloth over a collander over a clean pot. Slowly strain the broth. When the cheesecloth is full, gather the corners and twist the cheesecloth cache tight to squeeze out all the delicious broth. You may want to strain the broth again depending on how it looks to you.
Pour the broth into large jars (I use a Mason style jar) and refrigerate it overnight. In the morning or the next evening when you get back to the broth, the fat will have solidified at the top so you can just spoon it off. Generally, the broth will be very thick and jelly-like which is perfect.
Keep the broth a week or two in the refrigerator for weeks or freeze it for up to six months. If keeping the broth in the refrigerator, bring it to a boil every few days and simmer for a few minutes to keep it from spoiling.
You can, of course, follow the same basic recipe for chicken broth. Of course, I would use a few birds in that case.
White wine is optional, but alcohol releases the widest range of flavors, ones that aren't soluble in water or fats alone. Most of the alcohol cooks off and the tastes it opens up make for a fine broth. Cooking wines make your broth taste more like vinegar. Instead, use an inexpensive, but drinkable Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or other dry white wine.
I have just discovered your site today and it is a wealth of information!
I just have a quick question. My husband and I really only like the breast of a chicken or turkey (I know, most people like more than just that, but we both have a mental aversion to other parts!). Therefor, I never buy a whole bird because so much of it would go to waste (and I would have NO idea what to do with the whole thing!). Do you have any suggestions of what I could do to make broths without it – or should I start asking friends and relatives for their carcasses?
If you buy the breast on the bone, you could use the bones of the breast to make broth. Just freeze the skin and bones until you have several, and then put them in the pot as if you had a whole carcass.

Q: Ordering a barchart in R with list as a datasource I'm trying to order a barchart in R but I'm getting funny results. The data source is a list. Maybe this is the problem, but I don't know how to sort it out.
The initial chart is as follows:

I get it with the following code:
file <- c("C://path//file.csv")
dataSource <- read.table(file, header=T, sep=",")
#typeof(dataSource) ==> this gives me a 'list'
dataChart <- dataSource[ , c("Product","YTD")]
dataChart <- na.omit(dataChart)
barplot(dataChart[ ,2], names.arg = dataChart[ ,1],
      horiz = TRUE,
      ylab = "",
      xlab = "",
      main="Title",
      las=1)

If I add the following to sort the chart:
dataChart <- as.data.frame(dataChart)[order("YTD"),]

I get the following:

The data source is as follows:
dataSource = structure(list(Product = structure(c(2L, 4L, 5L, 7L, 8L, 9L,
10L, 13L, 1L, 3L, 4L, 6L, 11L, 12L, 13L), .Label = c("ADT", "BHL",
"CEX", "CMX", "CTL", "HTH", "MTL", "SSL", "TLS", "UTV", "WEX",
"WLD", "WMX"), class = "factor"), YTD = c(67L, 5026L, 503L, 29L,
3975L, 876L, NA, 40L, 62L, 1395L, 717L, NA, 423L, 277L, 35L)), .Names = c("Product",
"YTD"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -15L))

Any ideas on how to get the chart sorted correctly? Is the problem how the data is loaded?

A: I think that you just want to sort the data.
dataChart = dataChart[order(dataChart$YTD),]
barplot(dataChart[ ,2], names.arg = dataChart[ ,1],
      horiz = TRUE,
      ylab = "",
      xlab = "",
      main="Title",
      las=1)

PS4 devs speak up on costs: "Not as scary as some led you to believe"
In a first-party developer roundtable, Guerilla Games said the cost of development has only risen slightly
News by James Brightman Contributor
With PS3 and Xbox 360, cost of development saw a significant increase from the previous generation. Now next-gen's on the horizon, and many are anticipating another big bump up in costs (Epic's Tim Sweeney said a few months ago that costs could double). If you ask Hermen Hulst, managing director at Killzone developer Guerilla Games, however, next-gen shouldn't be a burden on developers' bottom line.
Speaking as part of a first-party developer roundtable attended by GamesIndustry International immediately following the PS4 reveal, Hulst noted that while costs are going up on PS4, it's not as dramatic as some would have thought. For example, on Killzone 1 and 2, team sizes maxed out at 125, he said, and for the new Killzone Shadow Fall on PS4, the team is now at 150 people.
Hulst said that a lot of his company's resources have gone into making development easier with better, more efficient tools. It's about making development smarter, he said. Hulst added that Guerilla is in constant conversation with lead PS4 architect Mark Cerny and many other developers to the point where they have weekly, or bi-weekly calls.
"It's not as scary as some people led you to believe," Hulst concluded on the financial aspect of next-gen development.
When the developers were asked about relying on graphics and how that won't work anymore since PS3 games already look quite good, Matt Southern of Evolution Studios, who unveiled Drive Club for PS4 today, commented that there's still plenty of room on the visual side to wow gamers. "No game has been able to recreate the real feeling of sitting inside a Ferrari," he said, and with PS4 he feels he's come much closer to that goal. Hulst added that the newer technology is now allowing developers to do much, much more overall. Whereas in the past they may have had to choose between more characters or a larger environment or better AI, now game makers can integrate all these things at once without bogging down the hardware.
One of the important features of the PS4 will be its Gaikai integration and the PlayStation cloud network. With all games being available to demo with just a click, developers will have to think about how they design their titles to grab players' attention more quickly. Making a mediocre game nowadays is a very, very risky proposition. Steven Ter Heide, game director at Guerilla Games, commented that it simply means you have to make great games. If a developer creates a great experience, then there's no need to worry.
Evolution's Southern was ecstatic about the Gaikai functionality. He remarked that a game trailer is a bit of an oxymoron, that trailers are bizarre, and games should have demos because they naturally demand an interactive experience. He said Dave Perry's vision means every single PlayStation game can be sampled, and "it's genius but obvious." He noted that "it's perfect for the PlayStation catalog."
Ultimately, the developers at the roundtable seemed incredibly enthusiastic about the vision that Sony is communicating with PS4. "I was very happy it's so forward looking," Steven Ter Heide said. "Technology is becoming an enabler rather than being about specs. It's about what it means to me rather than it's got X amount of memory."

2016. It's been a year. Elections and referendums and protests and loss and Bowie and Prince and Professor Snape. It's been a year. And it's been hard. And I don't know about you but I feel like I'll be white knuckling it through the remaining weeks until New Years Eve.
And so for my own peace and mind (and perhaps for yours), I've decided to re-introduce a bit of lightness and silliness and creativity. It was a favourite of mine and it seems timely to bring it back now. For those of you that have forgotten or are just tuning in, Bottom Of the Barrel is a boomerang of sorts wherein we ask a local bartender to use a not-so-savoury ingredient to create a new cocktail. Said bartender will then nominate another and give them a new challenge ingredient. See! Creative, silly, playful. And who couldn't use a laugh after the kind of year it's been? So without further ado…..
Stir all ingredients over ice. Strain into a glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a lemon peel.

Here's why it's so hard to crack down on drowsy driving
States are trying to find ways to crack down on sleep-deprived drivers.
Here's why it's so hard to crack down on drowsy driving States are trying to find ways to crack down on sleep-deprived drivers. Check out this story on USATODAY.com: https://usat.ly/2lPN7wN
Jenni Bergal, Pew/Stateline Published 7:00 a.m. ET Nov. 4, 2017 | Updated 10:13 a.m. ET Nov. 4, 2017

Whether it's working the night shift, caring for a newborn, studying all night for exams, or simply living in a 24/7 society, Americans are sleep-deprived — and that can be deadly on the nation's roads.
To draw attention to the problem, some states have passed resolutions, posted messages on highways, and required information to be included in driver's education courses and driver's manuals. But few have stepped up enforcement, trained police officers to detect when a driver hasn't gotten enough sleep, or enacted criminal penalties if drowsy driving results in a fatality.
This year, legislators in New York and Washington state introduced measures that would have made it a felony for a fatigued driver to cause a crash that kills someone. There was a public hearing on the Washington state proposal, but neither bill has passed.
Only two states, Arkansas and New Jersey, have enacted such laws, but meeting the standards for prosecution and conviction is difficult. Arkansas, which considers it negligent homicide, requires that the driver hadn't slept for 24 consecutive hours and New Jersey, which calls it vehicular homicide, does the same, but sets the time at more than 24 hours.
But those states have had "limited success" convicting drowsy drivers under the statutes, according to a 2016 report by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), which represents state highway safety offices. Arkansas had only three convictions since 2013, when the law took effect.
One reason it's tricky: When a fatigued driver is stopped by police, adrenaline usually kicks in and he doesn't appear to be sleepy.
"We don't have a sleep meter, like we have a breathalyzer, so it's difficult to recognize drowsy driving," said Pam Fischer, the Governors Highway Safety Association consultant who wrote the report. "It's hard to prosecute, hard to make the case, and hard to enforce unless the driver readily admits it."
Fischer said states need to do a better job training police officers to spot drowsy drivers on the road and to recognize some of the telltale signs if they pull them over or arrive at the scene of a crash. Officers also should ask drivers how much sleep they got in the past 24 hours, put that information in their report, and warn them about the dangers of drowsy driving, she said.
A 2014 study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety estimated that drowsy drivers could be involved in 328,000 crashes a year on average on U.S. roads, 6,400 of them fatal.
But AAA says the actual numbers may be higher, because the data collected by police at crash scenes is incomplete and there is no universal definition or standard wording for drowsiness or fatigue on crash reports.

Sleep-Deprived Americans
Lots of Americans are suffering from sleep deprivation, health officials say. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study last year found that more than a third of adults in the U.S. aren't getting the seven hours of sleep a day needed for optimal health.
And when they get behind the wheel, drowsy drivers' judgment may be impaired and their reaction time slowed, just like with drunken drivers. Their driving often mimics alcohol-impaired driving, with the car weaving between lanes or drifting off the road.
Among those most vulnerable: shift and night workers, teens and young adults, and truck and bus drivers.
A December 2016 study found that drivers who miss one or two hours of the recommended seven hours of sleep in a 24-hour period nearly double their risk for a crash. Those who miss two to three hours more than quadruple it. And nearly one in three drivers said that at least once in the past month, they drove when they were so tired they struggled to keep their eyes open.

Taking Aim
Some states are beginning to take modest steps to deal with the problem.
Earlier this year, the Governors Highway Safety Association and the National Road Safety Foundation, a nonprofit that promotes safe driving, distributed $15,000 grants to Iowa, Maryland, Nevada, New York and Tennessee to create innovative drowsy driving prevention campaigns. Maryland, for example, will launch an educational and social media campaign aimed at medical shift workers. Nevada will train law enforcement officers to recognize drowsy driving behavior and collect more data on the number of traffic stops related to it.
Last year, Iowa hosted the first statewide drowsy driving summit to increase public awareness of the problem. It also broadcasts warnings on highway system message boards, such as "Drowsy? Crash on a Couch Not a Road," runs public service announcements on TV and social media, and has partnered with a local supermarket chain to spread the word with bag stuffers.
Iowa will use its grant money to post signs, stickers and rack cards in every state rest area reminding people about signs of fatigue and urging them to take a quick nap if they're tired.
"The main thing is to get people to talk about it," said Patrick Hoye, bureau chief for the Iowa Governor's Traffic Safety Bureau. "We need to educate the public that this is a serious issue and it's causing fatalities in our state."
Traffic safety experts recommend that states make sure there are enough rest areas available, so tired drivers can pull off the road and take a nap. But they worry that some states instead have been shutting down their highway rest stops. Illinois is the latest to study whether it should rehab or close some of its rest areas.
"Closing rest stops doesn't help with the drowsy driving problem," said Fischer, the GHSA consultant. "The only thing that helps you when you're tired like this is to get sleep."
Safety advocates say states also need to conduct public education campaigns, install rumble strips on highways, and include information about drowsy driving in driver's manuals and driver's education classes.
Educating the public is important, said Jennifer Pearce, whose sister, Nicole Lee, was killed in a drowsy driving crash in 2008.
Lee, 18, and four friends were returning to Virginia Tech after a day of skiing when the SUV she was riding in crashed head-on into a tree in West Virginia.
Everyone was wearing their seat belts. Police ruled out drugs or alcohol and said the driver wasn't speeding and there were no skid marks. They believe he had fallen asleep at the wheel.
"It was incredibly painful because it was completely preventable," said Pearce, who has become an advocate for making the public aware of the dangers of drowsy driving. "We need to make sure that people understand that being drowsy is the same as being drunk or distracted when you get behind the wheel."
Traffic safety experts are hopeful that advanced technologies, such as lane departure and forward collision warnings on cars and automatic emergency braking will help prevent drowsy driving crashes.
But they argue that the biggest change needs to be cultural.

HomePress ReleaseThe Future of India's $2 Bn Edtech Opportunity Report 2020

The Future of India's $2 Bn Edtech Opportunity Report 2020
India has seen the launch of 4,450 edtech startups with 1,150 shutting shops between 2014 to 2019
India has 194 funded edtech startups, with 35 being acquired
BYJU's stood as the the top-funded edtech startup in India for five years straight (2015-2019)
The Indian edtech startups recorded an investment of $433 Mn in 2019, taking the total funds raised by the startups to $1.8 Bn, reveals DataLabs' recently released "The Future Of India's $2 Bn Edtech Opportunity" report.
Going beyond supporting school curriculum and helping candidates prepare for tests, edtech today has spread its wings far and wide. From K-12 and test preparation to skilling and learning management systems, edtech startups have branched out to cater to various submarkets.
This has a significant impact as the otherwise fragmented, and conventional education system has failed to address many crucial questions, which have a direct effect on the economy. From skill development and reskilling to upskilling, university-level courses and even B2B models, edtech has shown the potential to disrupt the entire value chain.
In terms of skilling, as per DataLabs analysis, more than half of India's workers will require reskilling to meet the talent demands of industrial revolution 4.0 by 2022. The emerging skill requirements are primarily focused on areas such as technology-led design and programming, complex problem solving, reasoning, ideation, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and analysis.
With the working-age population in India making up 67% of the total population (1.3 Bn), the market offers great opportunities for reskilling, skill development and upskilling. The right tech skill sets and certification are the two most important parameters for tech employment. It is to be noted here that the demand side of edtech is robust, thanks to the rising unemployment in India.
Factors such as the deep penetration of the internet and the rampant use of smartphones and other electronic devices have spiked the online content consumption in India. This has also, in turn, impacted India's addressable market for edtech products and services. The report also noted that it is the youth of the country who is driving the adoption of the edtech products and services in India.
These two factors have exponentially increased the capitalisation opportunity in Indian edtech. This is seen in the business done by edtech startups in the previous fiscal. In FY 2018, the gross merchandise value of edtech startups was above $120 Mn was a surge of 48% compared to the previous year. This indicates that edtech startups are poised for bigger growth as the market conditions and reception for the products and services are likely to increase.
"The growing expenditure of Indians towards education along with the cost-effective nature of online education are two of the most important factors behind the increased investor confidence in edtech startups in India," said DataLabs spokesperson.
The Report Also Highlighted The Following Trends
Online test preparation is one of the most prominent and aggressively-growing segments in the Indian edtech landscape
Flexibility, convenience and low cost are the factors gradually making the prospect of higher education online more appealing for students and professionals alike
Majority of edtech startups today offer products in a rich multimedia package apart from pictures or text. Given the fact that the share of video consumption to the total internet traffic is slated to rise from 58% (2017) to 77% (2022), the traction of the online educational content in India is also poised to grow exponentially in the coming future.
In 2019, 16.2% of the total investors who participated in edtech startup funding deals were corporates, while 41% were VC firms
DataLabs has analysed the future of educational technology and has recorded the growth prospects, the market and consumer-related insights from the booming Indian edtech market in its latest report — The Future Of India's $2 Bn Edtech Opportunity Report 2020.

Small States: Myro:Air wants you to have your high quality audio and AirPlay too, giveaway worth $599
Trevor Daugherty - Sep. 6th 2014 12:22 pm PT Twitter icon @trevorjd14
Apps GamesAndroid
Update (9/13): Thanks for all of the entries into our Small States giveaway, @strikeux is our winner and he has been contacted.
Small States is a new series on 9to5Toys that features small companies that design and manufacture within the United States.
The world of Mac and iOS accessories is packed full of choices, from the gas station 30-pin cables to the top of the line wireless speaker systems. Whatever you are looking for, you are bound to find it in some capacity. But what Danny Mavromatis is setting out to accomplish goes beyond a high quality product, it's building something with attention to detail in every area. It is creating a high quality audio experience that marries top-of-the-line digital-to-analog conversion with the convenience of AirPlay wrapped in a feel good Made in America package.
It's Myro:Air.
Danny has spent the majority of his professional life creating home automation systems for well paying customers in the Seattle, Washington area. That experience has allowed him to see where home automation thrives, but also where the industry is lacking. Many people that shell out a handsome payment for home automation want a high quality experience in every area, starting with the visuals. Frustrated by what was offered in the market place, that led Danny to take his first step into the home automation world with an interface that was both cleaner and easier to use.
"Looking around the market place, there was not really a solution that met the needs of higher-end homes." Danny says of the home automation market, "There are a lot of these Fisher-Price-like interfaces, and people wanted something that was a little more sophisticated."
Then it was time to correct the audio portion of home automation, AirPlay is clearly the easiest and most functional option, however the reality is that the AirPlay system cannot handle the highest quality music available on its own.
"We wanted an AirPlay system that offered two-way control with metadata…but also had this amazing digital-to-analog converter (DAC) on board."
It doesn't take an audio engineer, or an Apple Genius to know that creating high quality electronics in the United States is not an easy task. While the financial logistics itself are one part of the problem, it's finding everything you need to accomplish that task that often leads companies abroad. At the heart of Myro:Air is a Wolfson WM8741 DAC that makes it possible to use Apple's highest quality lossless format over AirPlay. The DAC takes your digital audio and converts it back to an analog signal, ultimately improving the sound quality and upping the volume in the process. This is a really big deal, while the price tag of this DAC is around $13, the majority of them found in your typical audio device run about $.25. As a matter of fact, the majority of you are using low to mid-quality DACs in every audio device that you use, you just don't know it.
"You've got Beats Audio that fits a specific sound, it takes the low-end and makes certain songs sound amazing, but from an audiophile perspective you want a true, flat sound. That's what you are paying money for. We are using the Wolfson for its quality, paying extra for that algorithym."
It is easy to pin the Myro:Air into a corner of the audio marketplace, there for audiophiles and people with money to spend. The reality though is that the Myro:Air is a great solution for anyone that wants a high quality audio solution infused with iOS ease-of-use and function.
"Really, you have not been able to do this before, you had to bring in an Airport Express to get the AirPlay. You'd spend $300 to get a quality DAC, $100 on an AirPlay device then try to piece them together." Danny says as he speaks of the design process, "We spent two-years working with Apple to become MFi-certified, after four or five revisions we found a product we are really proud of."
Additionally, the Myro:Air provides an excellent opportunity to support a product that is Made in America and sourced from as many North American companies as possible. For Danny, he found that his location in Washington provided a great opportunity for doing just that. With Boeing just down the road, Seattle has a strong community of manufacturers with a skill-set that fit the Myro:Air perfectly. While there were many ways throughout the process that could have been cost-saving, the focus on using American retailers for each piece has proved to be a big piece of the puzzle. The electronics within are manufactured in Portland, the serial number plates are hand-struck in New Jersey, with the assembling happening in Tukwilla, Washington.
"With the restaurant industry, farm-to-table is so popular, and I really wanted to take that mindset to our product." Danny says of his made in America mindset, "I think we've accomplished that, and will continue to strengthen that as demand builds."
Obviously, first impressions are always key when seeing a new product for the first time. The Myro:Air did not disappoint, from the hand-pressed box label denoting your serial number to the cloth bag and gorgeous walnut stand, it's a product that looks great on your shelf. When it came time to listen, we sampled a number of different tracks, from the Beatles' "Hard Day's Night" to "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd. As promised, it was like hearing the music in a whole new way. The Myro:Air includes RCA and optical out and is connected to your network via ethernet, Danny himself recommends Audioengine speakers as a nice compliment to the system.
We are excited to giveaway a Myro:Air to our readers this week, which has a value of $599 dollars. Included will be everything needed to get your system up and running, with your own system. To enter, simply follow us on Twitter and retweet this article, or like us on Facebook and share with your friends. We will pick a winner on Saturday, September 13th.

Pursuit Boats Enters Sport Yacht Market
Pursuit Boats launching Sport Yacht powered exclusively by Yamaha Outboards.
Pursuit Boats announced today plans to deliver a Sport Yacht powered exclusively by Yamaha Outboards to market in the early fall of 2012.
"Our goal is to leverage our strengths in design, engineering and manufacturing along with our reputation for delivering the finest in outboard powered fiberglass boats. We see an opportunity to bring new technologies to the Sport Yacht market giving customers distinct advantages in performance and fuel efficiencies not available in todays' marketplace," Tom Slikkers, President, Pursuit Boats.
The all new Pursuit Sport Yacht will be in the mid-thirty foot range and feature modern styling and manufacturing technologies powered exclusively by dependable Yamaha Outboards. The patent-pending design will be revealed to the marketplace over the next few months through a series of visual and print elements delivered online through the Pursuit website, social media outlets, online boating portals and traditional publications. The new series will be given a name prior to its physical debut to consumers in the early fall of 2012.
"New product is the lifeblood of any brand. We see the Sport Yacht market as a logical step in the growth of our model lines and customer base. The new Sport Yacht series will be Pure Pursuit, consistent with the heritage of the company and luxury product associated with the brand," George Hetzel, Vice President Sales and Marketing.


This project is sponsored by Royal Design Studio Stencils, and may contain affiliate links.
We picked this little table up from the thrift store several months ago and it's been sitting in my basement ever since. When I found out we'd be working with Royal Design Stencils this month, I thought it was the perfect candidate for a pretty, stenciled makeover.
We chose the Foliate Damask Stencil, and I have to tell you, it wasn't an easy choice! There were so many pretty stencils to choose from, it was really hard to narrow it down.
I had a feeling this table was going to have adhesion problems. I'm not sure why I had that feeling… some sort of painters 6th sense. So before we got started I gave the top a quick sanding and also sprayed the whole table with a coat of shellac.
We used Annie Sloan's French Linen chalk paint as the base color. For the stencil, we made a custom mix with Annie Sloan's Old White and a little French Linen. I also used the same custom color to create a wash over the entire piece. To do this, I brushed the paint on, taking care to get it into all the grooves and details, then wiped most of it off with a damp cloth.
Once the paint was dry I gave the entire piece a light sanding to distress, then sealed it with General Finishes top coat. We also filled in the holes for the original hardware and replaced it with a knob from Hobby Lobby. I didn't get a before picture of the knob, but it's a bronze color. I used the same custom paint mix for the stencil and wash to doctor up the knob a bit so it matched better.
Ready to see what the other girls did with their stencils? Just click the images below to see the full tutorial for each project.
Amy – you've done it again…the transformation of this table is like night and day! Love your color and stencil choice too!
Thanks ladies!! I always appreciate your sweet comments.
Wow, what a difference a stencil and some paint make. Gorgeous makeover, Amy. Y'all turned a sad little table into a beautiful accent table. Love the transformation.
Such a beautiful piece, Amy!!
This whole makeover brought that table to a new level. It's so French and the paint and stencil just bring out the character of the piece so perfectly. Love it!
Those colors and that stencil are so so pretty Amy! Great job!
It is beautiful Amy! A stencil gives that end table that extra little charm! Love the design you chose!
Thanks Kendra! It was so hard to choose a stencil design. So many pretty choices!
This is beautiful! I love this table! You inspired me to stencil the top of a table, too!
Lovely piece now, perfect stencil choice!!
Gorgeous stencil! Your use of it and the colours you chose are en pointe for this little table! Beautiful as always! I hope you have an amazing day!
Vicki and Amy, I love how the table turned out! That mix of grays with the stencil you chose is so pretty! Do you guys have a booth, or do you keep it? Either way…I love it!
Thank you, Florence! We do have a booth at the Ohio Valley Antique Mall. We haven't delivered this piece yet but it'll be for sale soon :). Hope you have a great weekend!!
I've never used stencils but this just might get me to give it a try. Beautiful job!
very elegant, love your floor even more!
Thank you, Barbara! Don't tell anyone but that pretty wood floor is a photography mat. The real floor underneath is just my boring dining room carpet :).
beautiful finished table. Why do you shellac the table before you paint it?
Hi Debbi! On this table, I used shellac before painting because I felt like I may have trouble getting the paint to adhere to the table properly. It can be used as a primer for adhesion issues, to create some "tooth" on a super slick surface, and to block bleeding stains and odors.
Forgive my late response! Somehow I missed this comment earlier :).
BEAUTIFUL!!! I love the stencil you chose and that knob is soooo pretty!
I love It! Just wondering why you haven't included how you did the stencil part. Is that posted somewhere else, or something it's assumed we know? I have never done a stencil so was really interested to see how it was done, but I still don't know. Is there a link to another page where you show a stencil being done. Thank you, and great work!
Hey Julie! I guess I did just assume, but you bring up a very valid point that some people might not know where to even start. I should have included more specifics and I will next time we do a stencil project. in the meantime, we do have another stenciled table project with a little more detail (but still not really step by step, start to finish: https://canarystreetcrafts.com/french-script-stenciled-tables/.


A Lovely Time – CNY Alive!
Syracuse music infiltrated the Snow Ridge campgrounds Friday and Saturday. Bands from Connecticut and Delaware and a comedian performed as well at the weekend festival. Two stages, a mini skate park, yoga and hiking made for a very lovely time for attendees. Snow Ridge, in Turin, is home to moe.down festival so some campers were familiar and led the way in creating a village like feel. The highlight of the event was the Shady Grove stage built into the woods. You crossed over a stream by log or bridge and could also see it from above at a picnic area. The sound engineer was on point with great lighting making it the place to be. The weather cooperated and the cool nights were perfectly accented by the full moon.
This was the festival's first year. Nick Feeley, Drew Shoup, Charlie Giancola and friends coordinated A Lovely Time and pinned down some of Syracuse's best bands on a busy July weekend. Local bands included The Black River, Tanksley, Professional Victims, Barroom Philosophers, All Poets & Heroes, Atkin's Riot, Bad Mama's Blues Band, Nadine Prince, Brian Wagner, Connor Campbell, Khloey, American Glove, and Mattydale Music Collective. Check out Instagram @alovelytime or www.alovelytimefest.com to participate next year!
Professional Victims' Shady Grove performance was something I'll always be glad I witnessed. They displayed so much artistic energy in a crazy, fun and interactive way with visuals, costumes, and crowd participation. They played an original, One Nation Under Fraud, with the relevant message "Don't you ever stop trying." Their daughter, Khloey, joined them on stage as well. She was overheard saying "amazing" in regards to the show. That sums it up in one word.


And when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us.
In order to have his name mentioned in the pages of history, Caesar Augustus had to reform a tax system, establish laws for citizens and non citizens, create police and fire fighting departments in his capital city, win a civil war, expand territory, make peace with border nations, keep client states in check, and lead one of the world's great empires into a great period of peace and prosperity. All Joseph did was stood by the woman he loved.
(Thesis) Cesar Augustus was very aware of the things going on in the Roman Empire and addressed nearly every situation.
(Antithesis) Yet, the Nativity of one greater than himself happened right under his nose.
As with 9/11 and the Virginia Tech shootings, we will remember where we were and what we were doing on Friday morning of December 14th, 2012. We will remember how and what we felt. Especially since this season focuses so much on children and families, the tragedy in the Connecticut elementary school is especially painful. On behalf of the Trinity Baptist Church Family, I offer my deepest sympathies and devout prayers to all who have lost friends and loved ones. Also remembering those who have been affected by other senseless losses in this time that is supposed to be for comfort and joy. Through Christ, we can still have these great gifts.
Christmas (Holy Nativity) is a little over two weeks away. This is a unique time for us to reflect on what it means to grow in God's grace. It is too easy to get caught up in the decorating, feasting, shopping, and other preparations. But, I encourage all of us to set time aside to think about how mercy and redemption are not one time gifts that get broken or go out of style. No, these are lasting gifts that are everlasting and bring us into unity with God and each other.

Glasgow Life delivers cultural, sporting and learning services for Glasgow's communities. It runs libraries, museums, leisure facilities, art venues, concert halls, and community centres across the city and organises family, cultural and sporting events.
To promote equality of opportunity in Glasgow by ensuring that our services and venues are welcoming to all; allowing everyone to enjoy the benefits of culture, sport, reading and learning in their lives.
Our Equality and Diversity Action Plan is designed to reduce barriers that prevent people accessing or services, including those who are experiencing poverty and those in protected characteristic groups as designated by the Equality Act 2010.
Glasgow is Scotland's largest and most diverse city: over 100 different languages are spoken, life expectancy differs across the city with those living in the most affluent areas outliving people in the most disadvantaged communities( by 15years in the case of men and 11 years for women) and one third of our children are growing up poverty. We are not all the same. We need different things, but we all rightly want and expect great public services.
Glasgow Life provides a huge range of services for people living, working, studying or visiting Glasgow. We manage every kind of venue across the city from international sporting, cultural and heritage destinations to facilities in the heart of local communities.
We do this because we believe that culture, sport and learning are profoundly life affirming and life changing. Our services help people to keep fit and healthy – mentally and physically. They help promote trust, understanding and empathy among people with different identities, values and experiences. They also help make Glasgow a place where people want to visit and in which companies want to invest.
We also employ 2,500 people and purchase millions of pounds of goods and services from local, national and international suppliers to help us deliver our services.
Glasgow Life plays a major role in the life of the city.
The size, scale and complexity of what we do means that what we do and how we do it has a big effect on the people that use our service and the organisations with whom we work. That's why our approach to equalities and diversity needs to be fundamental to everything we do. It's not an add-on.
We need to work with the city's communities and partner organisations to ensure that our services are used and valued by all of Glasgow's citizens.
It's now the law, it makes great business sense, and it's the right thing to do.
Everyone in Glasgow Life has a part to play. The action plan which follows sets out how we will begin this process.

Icy roads lead to accidents, late dismissals
RCMP warned drivers to stay off the roads and students were held back in schools across the province as freezing rain blanketed Prince Edward Island on Wednesday.
Schools across the province hold students back
CBC News · Posted: Jan 30, 2013 1:29 PM AT | Last Updated: January 31, 2013
Freezing rain coated Charlottetown in ice Wednesday morning. (Kevin Yarr/CBC)
Freezing rain that started late Wednesday morning made driving conditions treacherous. RCMP said there were 26 collisions since late morning — 10 collisions in Prince County, 12 in Queens County and four in Kings County.
"It was a fast freeze on the roads today so it took a lot of time and a little extra care to get around," said Mike Berrigan, the highway maintenance superintendent for Prince County.
"In some places they did have to stop and just kind of wait for a few minutes and get some traction and keep going. There have been a few sanders that kind of slid off on the shoulder of the road and had to get assistance to get going again. So that all takes time."
Schools across the province delayed dismissing students by an hour and a half in order to allow road and sidewalk conditions to improve.
The Charlottetown Police Service warned the sidewalks are dangerous for pedestrians.
"It doesn't look that bad, but it is actually quite bad," said Jane Jenkins.
The University of Prince Edward Island also warned its students of conditions on campus and said it was working to apply salt to walkways.
Environment Canada said the freezing rain is moving from west to east.
"It also gave some freezing rain into New Brunswick, where they closed some of the schools this morning," said Linda Libby, a Charlottetown-based meteorologist with Environment Canada.
"It's pushing its way through Newfoundland and up into the coast of Labrador later today."
