NEW VISUAL ARTS BUILDING TOPS OUT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA
The University of Iowa celebrated the Topping Out of its new Arts Building on March 9, 2015. This is Steven Holl Architects' second arts building on the University of Iowa campus. The first, Art Building West completed in 2006, brings together Studio Arts and Art History in a flexible 'instrument' for the arts. SHA was selected via competition to realize the new Visual Arts Building in 2010 which will be a state of the art facility for all studio disciplines for this renowned arts program. The new Visual Arts Building replaces an original arts building from 1936, which was heavily damaged during a flood of the University of Iowa campus in June 2008. The new building is located directly adjacent to and northwest of Art Building West, forming a new campus space dedicated to the Arts. The Architecture is shaped by the following aims:
- INTERCONNECTING THE ARTS: HORIZONTAL PROGRAMS, VERTICAL POROSITY
The new facility for the University of Iowa's School of Art and Art History will contain 126,000sf of loft-like space for the departments of printmaking, painting, photography, intermedia, and three-dimensional art. A four story structure is aimed at the interconnection between the arts.
- SHAPING CAMPUS SPACE
The new building picks up the original campus grid, forming the space of a new Art Meadow together with Art Building West.
- CREATING MULTIPLE CENTERS OF LIGHT
A rectilinear volume– 200' x 180' x 68'– is carved out for seven light courts, interconnecting floors and programs. Here, light and natural ventilation are brought into the body of the building.
- STAIRS AS "SOCIAL CONDENSERS"; CORRIDORS AS MEETING SPACES
Vertical circulation is flanked by generous spaces forming "social condensers."
- INTEGRATING MATERIAL RESONANCE & ECOLOGICAL INNOVATION
The building is heated and cooled by 'active' slabs, with radiant tubing integrated in 'bubble-deck' concrete floors– the first such installation in the United States. Each elevation is developed in a curtain wall maximizing energy performance, with sunshades on the south and high performance glass on the north. Operable windows allow for scenic campus views and natural ventilation.
The building will open in May 2016.

Set out with an objective of making our mark on travel, D'Roamers intends to bridge the gap between travelers going on a vacation and truly enjoying the experiences pertaining to that destination.We, at D'Roamers, believe that providing experiential travel to all our clients will provide them with a higher level of satisfaction from each and every vacation. Travel is an ever-evolving industry and the need of the hour is clearly underlined in travelers looking to experience something new which sets their vacation apart from their daily lives. We also believe in giving a good value for the money invested by people on travel.
By including never-before seen cultural experiences, visiting offbeat places, and unearthing hidden destinations, D'Roamers can add that extra bit of x-factor in every vacation.
What makes us whole-heartedly act towards the need of providing experiential travel comes from the shortcomings we have seen in the current travel industry. As people who not only enjoy travel, but also pursue it as a passion; we strongly empathize and relate with travelers who go on vacation but are unable to truly connect with the destination they are visiting.
The D'Roamers team tirelessly works on creating experience for travelers that focuses heavily on finding a fine balance between visiting the most popular destinations, providing the most comfortable accommodations, and including experiences that truly represent the destination at its core.
We believe that if a traveler can come out of a vacation with an experience that defines a destina	tion, then we would've fulfilled the purpose of travel for that person. Creating a unique identity that leaves a long-lasting impression is the key to a happy vacation.
We at D'Roamers recognize the value of experiencing a completely new and unexpected activity at a destination. Our goal is to bring more out of every travel destination, so as to present a complete picture of the diversity and charm of a particular location.
For travelers who wish to go on a vacation with one major focal point such as a particular adventure activity, religious experience, or cultural event- we provide activity-centric packages custom-made for that particular experience.
A segment that we not only understand but admire deeply- luxury travel is poetry in motion. With the rich cultural history of every destination, comes a luxurious undertone of experiences and activities. Our determined aim is to provide best-in-class services for travelers who cherish a royal decree of memorable experiences.
However, our expertise and services don't just stop there. We strive to make sure that travelers get adequate on-field assistance, 24*7 customer support, and post-vacation assistance for any feedback, queries, or renumeration.

Long, of course is a relative term. What is long to a newbie middle school runner is an easy run for a fiend like me. As I previously stated, we are having two different workouts each day for the next few weeks. So, today I lead both of these workouts on what is probably our longest regular run – our Mt Rite Aid run. From Hillview, if you make it all the way to the peak and back it is a 5.5 mile round trip. There were only a half dozen or so who made it all the way in the morning. Another half dozen or so made it their in the much more difficult (95 degrees) heat of the afternoon.
Tomorrow, I plan to run with Clay and Karl and whomever else shows up on the trails by San Francisquito Canyon road. As previously stated, I feel the ups and down are doing a positive number on my strength and ability so I intend to stick with it for a while now.
← Long Day continued ….. There are some fast kids in our middle school league!

Home is where the art is . . .

AN ART student is opening up her home to quite literally give others a snapshot into her family's life.
Single mum Naomi Boyle is risking the wrath of her two teenage daughters as she prepares her Hidden Lives photography exhibition, laid out in her own home.
Ms Boyle, who is in her final year studying Art and Design at UCA in Rochester will completely gut her former council house on Brunswick Walk, Gravesend, tearing up carpet and white-washing walls, to transform it into a temporary gallery.
She said: "It was one of those things you come upon when you can't sleep or you've had one glass of wine too many.
"I'm one of those people who once they've decided upon something has to do. Frankly, I'm now petrified."
Ms Boyle, 39, who works as a receptionist for the Sure Start centre attached to Kings Farm School said she wants her daring venture to inspire the creation of a public space for artwork in the town centre.
She added: "We have St Andrews Art Centre but it is on the edge of town. There are so many empty shops in the town centre surely one could be taken up so that anyone rich, poor old or young could use it to show off work.
"I worked as an art assistant at St George School for a while and there were so many young talented people coming through but they end up moving away. We need to encourage people to express themselves."
The artist's work focuses on shots of life with her 15 and 17-year-old daughters, at home, as well as staged pictures used to symbolise the challenges faced by single parents and low income families. Her home, 36 Brunswick Walk in Gravesend will be open to the public from 6pm to 9 on Friday May 7 and 10am to 2pm on the Saturday.

Q: Encrypting War files I would like to encrypt or obfuscate my WAR file so that reverse engineering will take a little more effort.  Is there such a tool or maven plugin that will encrypt a WAR file and its contents?
Also, once the WAR is encrypted, how will the Web Application be deployed at that point?  If the web server explodes the WAR, can each jar and resource still be encrypted, how will the startup behavior be modified to decrypt the nested jars and resources?
Thanks,
Walter

A: DashO from PreEmptive Solutions will also obfuscate WAR files.

A: Cracking Java byte-code encryption - Why Java obfuscation schemes based on byte-code encryption won't work - Article from JavaWorld.
If your code is important enough to go to all this trouble it probably makes sense to host it on a private server... :\

A: Zelix KlassMaster can be run from Ant.  Looks like it handles WARs too.
Couldn't tell you about the deployment of the WAR but any obfuscator that causes an archive not to work after it's been obfuscated isn't worth much.

A: i have same problem here.
I tried it with Yguard 2.4, Proguard 4.7, Zelix 5.4.6, Allatori 4.0 , JavaGuard 1.0, Sandmark 3.40. All of those are not giving me glance that my obfuscated web application would not run. They can obfuscate bytecodes even they can obfuscate my application. That is all.
p.s : The application server(server container tomcat, apache, glassfish, weblogic , websphere etc) can't hide our code from hackers. in my experience all of them has temp folder which contains currently using items. In this folder we can see the code.
Finally i would say if we use Java then we make opensource. :P

A: I had a solution to this problem. It goes like this:
Encrypt a war file. Like ZIP it and encrypt it, so it cannot be read without the password.
Set up a system, or only give the password to a hosting service. Once you and a client
have worked out your terms, you give the password to the hosting service. They decrypt the
war file and install it. They client only sees the website/api. The client never has
access to your jar files.
Any comments?

Tottenham spent £6,066,935 on Agents fees in a year!
We've made the Top 4!
And it only took Harry one season to do so!
We could say well done but that would be a bit cheeky! Maybe – as supporters – it is none of our business to whom or for what transaction these were paid but like the current furore over Bank bonuses these are large sums of money and amounts that certainly need some justification.
My memory tells me in this period we resigned Defoe and Keane, signed Palacios, Crouch, Bassong, Naughton and Kranjcar. We also sold and loaned a few out. Therefore we would have paid a few bob to agents. But £6M? Kranjcar, for example, was a £2M fee but how much did the agent get – more than that? And was Defoe not in court over the sacking of his agent?
I've never quite worked out why the club ends up paying this money in any case. Surely if the player employs the agent he should pay him and not the club. It's like foreign players asking for wages net rather than gross. Maybe in your Country Senor but not in North London me old china!
As a consequence surely the amount that the club pays should be capped and if the agent is due more the player settles it. After all he is getting pretty decent wages from which to do so.
It might be helpful if the "undisclosed" deal dies a death. After all published accounts will eventually allow people to guess what the transfer sums were if they are not disclosed in the Club's annual report. If all transfer deals had to be published and then associated agent payments also had to be reported as an additional amount the agents might ask for less and the Clubs might end up paying less.
Think of it this way. If the players have moved the payments over to the clubs this suggests they think the amounts are too much. The agent maybe said once "OK I understand you think it is al lot but if I can get the club to pay it are you Ok with that?" What player would say no?
Then the Club probably thinks it is too much but wants the player. If they had to reveal the payments as part of the transfer then they may well be able to say "our shareholders will not be happy with this amount of money" and force a reduction.
That only leaves the agents. It would be interesting to know how much each of them have earned within the £70M and also how much tax has been accounted for by them. If Bank bonuses need to be controlled surely these payments also need to be.
I dare the Premier League to try and do it for the sake of our beautiful game!
Stoke are one of the Premier League's Jekyll and Hyde teams. At The Britannia Stadium they're a massive handful to control and without an early goal against them can give their opponents a massive amount of problems, away they could be a regulation 3 points victory if you are a side looking for a Europa League or better finish.
Granted they are still a nuisance but an early goal forces them out and provides more opportunities. I saw last years game and we won it comfortably once the first goal went in so let's hope for a decent start tomorrow with a front line of Keane and Crouch.
Stoke have some weapons of their own. James Beattie conspired to down us by half time in Hoddle's last match in charge against Southampton so we must not give him space and Dave Kitson would for me be a decent fourth striker. My match day mate disagrees but who is Stoke's top scorer according to the BBC site – none other than Mr Kitson.
I'm hoping that Gomes continues and am unconcerned who plays at centre back for us as they are all good. It will be interesting to see who gets the nod in midfield. Will Wilson get the start forcing a decision between Tommy and JJ or will we keep the Portsmouth wining side? I think Wilson is called for to stamp an early authority on the game. If it were me JJ would drop to the bench leaving Lennon and Niko on the flanks. We may also see the Russian coming off the bench so let's hope we're ahead by that stage!
Prediction: Should be a 3-0 but more interested in a clean sheet to improve goal difference before the Arsenal game.

The Obama Foundation will pay a mere ten dollars for a century-long lease.
The Chicago Park District had begun felling trees on land destined to become part of the Obama Library complex, but those preparations ground to a halt Monday after the Chicago Department of Transportation refused to grant a permit that would have allowed the Park District to move utility lines running through the site. CDOT delayed a decision on the matter until after the federal lawsuit and federal assessments have been resolved.
Hearings on the lawsuit, which claims the Obama Library received unprecedented and potentially illegal assistance from the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago, start Thursday. Plaintiffs claim that the Library is being granted part of historic Jackson Park — a huge public green space designed by Frederick Olmsted (the same man who designed New York City's Cental Park) and dedicated for the people of Chicago's recreational use. They also say that plans to move two major arteries that currently run across Jackson Park will harm economic growth and isolate residents of Chicago's south side.
Construction also halted on a new athletic field — a project the city claims has no connection to the Obama Library complex. The Chicago Sun-Times reports the city might have misled residents: the Obama Foundation appears to have granted more than $2 million to the city for the new athletic field because the old one will need to be demolished to make room for Obama's massive complex.
The permitting and construction process became even stranger on Wednesday, when the Sun-Times reported that the City Council was working on a bill that would grant the Obama Library a century-long lease on what is, essentially, public land, for a mere $10, even though the Foundation can afford much more — and Chicago is desperately in need of the money.
"One of the ordinances includes the agreements between the foundation and the city, which includes the foundation paying the city $10 for the 99-year pact; the other ordinance clears the legal way to plow under Cornell Drive from 59th Street to Hayes Drive to be reconfigured as green space on the Obama campus," the Sun-Times says. That's down from the $1-per-year rental fee proposed earlier in the process.
In return, the Obama Foundation must pledge to cover the $350 million in expected construction costs for the Library, protecting Chicago taxpayers (the Foundation has already received nearly $220 million in construction grants from the State of Illinois).
One of the Library's top critics called the deal infuriating.
Other Chicago museums are located on public property, but those museums have agreements with the city of Chicago in perpetuity.
The City Council is expected to read and vote on the rental agreement Thursday.

Argument: Doing pharmacogenetics is futile since the frequency of clinically relevant genomic variations does not differ between the patient population and the normal population.
Reply: Since the frequency of most of these genomic variations is high, you would need a large cohort to verify that no over-representation exists in your patient samples. In addition, a negative answer (no variation detected) is not the same as a useless answer, as it can be used to look for other reasons for the condition presented.

Somerset to require new homes to have sprinkler systems
Deborah Gates
dgates@dmg.gannett.com
One and two-family homes built in Somerset County after June 30 must include a sprinkler system. Somerset County Commissioners are accepting written comments from the public on the measure for 10 days.
Somerset County home-buyers should brace for a law that requires one- and two-family homes constructed after June 30 to have sprinkler systems.
A June 16 public hearing was held to hear comments on a proposed amendment to the county building code that would include the mandated requirement. No home-buyers spoke at the hearing about the measure.
Gary Pusey, head of the county's Planning Department, told commissioners that the requirement satisfies an International Building Code measure adopted in January 2015 by the state of Maryland. The code is updated every three years, he said, and Somerset was exempt from applying the measure for one and two-family homes since a 2012 code update.
"We can't be exempt" anymore, Pusey told commissioners. "Up until now, Somerset County has exempted the fire sprinkler requirement from the code. But state law adopted in 2012 no longer allows this exemption."
The requirement is expected to increase the cost of construction, meaning that a home buyer likely would bear the added expense.
The cost to install a sprinkler system at a retrofitted mobile home, for instance, could be as much as $10,000, said Mark Konapelsky, a county inspector.
He added that sprinklers would not be required for mobile homes manufactured before July 1.
Pusey said there has been "a bit of a rush" on permit applications by home buyers of stick-built houses anxious to build before the July 1 law takes effect.
County Commissioners are accepting written comments from stakeholders about the measure for 10 days.

Q: What do Quincy Jones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Flying Lotus and a bunch of movie theatre janitors have in common?
A: They're all fans of Louis Cole.
He is right of course - 'Bank Account' is super funky and it was a game changer for Louis. He uploaded a split screen video of him performing the song (sporting a customised McDonalds uniform shirt no less) to his YouTube channel in April 2017 and, propelled by the candid and relatable lyrics - "I don't want to check my bank account. I'm too scared to check my bank account" - it went viral. So far it's amassed 2 million + views, the vast majority of those by folks equally fearful of viewing their account balance.
The runaway success of 'Bank Account' was in part, accidental, but Louis has a history of DIY film-making and uploading humorous performance videos to YouTube - it's integral to his creative being - so it was really only a matter of time before he hit the jackpot. He says he was inspired by his friend Jack Conte (Pomplamoose) a singer-songwriter and entrepreneur who released the majority of his music as home studio split-screen performance videos (or as Jack refers to them - "Videosongs") posted to YouTube. "Jack gave me this big pep talk in about 2009, basically saying: 'You HAVE to pursue your music as a career!' So I owe him a lot," smiles Louis.
Louis's new album features his friend Thundercat (with whom he worked on "Drunk" co-writing 'Bus In The Streets' and 'Jameel's Space Ride') who returns the favour, contributing lead vocals on 'Tunnels In The Air'. Genevieve Artadi and acclaimed jazz pianist and experimental composer Brad Mehldau also pop up on 'When You're Ugly' and 'Real Life' respectively. Furthermore, 'Last Time You Went Away' features a 23-piece string orchestra - the Rochester Stringz from Eastman School of Music.

The passage of new regulations and healthcare reform, combined with a dramatically increased focus on government enforcement and compliance, have created an unprecedented set of challenges for the healthcare industry. Two recent cases demonstrate these challenges.
The new healthcare regulations will likely result in more complex rate structures. As a recent litigation case in which A&M was engaged highlights, payer-provider contracts can include complex pricing terms for medical services with different payment methodologies and payment rates covering different types of services. As a result, issues often arise regarding the interpretation and application of contract terms that limit reimbursement for services.
In this matter, more than 35 providers filed lawsuits relating to various contracts between providers and payors, which stated that the provider will be paid for services at a percentage of "billed charges" (for example, 75 percent of the billed amount for such services). However, the contracts also included separate language, stating "in no event shall payments made for medical services provided to beneficiaries exceed one hundred percent (100 percent) of any government reimbursement."
The providers alleged there was a violation of their contracts — if not for the use of the government rates as a ceiling on reimbursement for certain services, the claims would have been paid at the agreed-upon percentage of billed charges. Further, the payers were seeking to collect an amount equal to the difference between claims priced at a percentage of billed charges and the actual payments based on government rates, for an eight-year period.
Each of the contracts contained different payment rates covering different types of services and were amended over time (sometimes retroactively).
Large databases of payer entities claims, across many years, had to be reviewed, cleaned, matched and analyzed. Because the data was not maintained for the purpose of litigation or any type of ex-post audit, the accounts payable for services rendered in one database had to be "matched" to the amounts actually paid in another database.
Since it was not practical to review every hardcopy claim, statistical sampling analyses were used to respond to the allegations and identify patterns of unusual billing practices to quantify any damage associated with any underpayment or overpayment of claims.
The underlying physical documentation supporting the claims was often missing or incomplete and many electronic claims were either "bundled" together or "miscoded".
Co-insurance and other factors needed to be taken into consideration.
Government-provider payment terms and payment rates changed over time.
A&M professionals had the expertise needed to address the issues described above; our team includes economists, accountants, statisticians, forensic technologists and healthcare experts. Notwithstanding the complexities of the above, A&M successfully quantified the amount of damages resulting from various scenarios of liability and contract interpretation. More importantly, the collaboration and strategy employed by the company, counsel and A&M facilitated successful outcomes for all of these cases.
With the government's focus on stepping up enforcement activities, combined with the prospect of an individual receiving an award that, in some cases, can be millions of dollars, even healthcare providers in compliance with the regulations are encountering an increase in the number of qui tam actions.
The False Claims Act (FCA) includes an ancient legal device called a "qui tam" provision, which allows a private person, known as a "relator" or "whistleblower," to bring a lawsuit on behalf of the United States, where the person "allegedly" has information that a party knowingly submitted or caused the submission of false or fraudulent claims to the United States.  Violations of the FCA could result in triple damages and even exclusion from healthcare programs, and whistleblowers are allowed to keep a portion of what the government collects.
Another case in which A&M was engaged in response to a qui tam action, involved how a provider was required to produce documents and information, and address all the issues raised in the suit filed under the FCA, regardless of legal merit. In this matter, a hospital received a copy of the complaint (filed under seal) and A&M assisted the healthcare facility in evaluating the relator's analysis and conclusions.
No methodology documenting the type of statistical sampling performed was provided.
The statistical sampling techniques did not comply with the Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) Program Integrity Manual and were inappropriately applied in this matter.
Certain payments were netted in error and resulted in an overstatement of the sampled payment amounts that were extrapolated to the claim population.
An improper assumption was made regarding incorrectly services — instead of assuming a 100 percent reversal of payment, the proper reversal measure was the difference between the value of the services provided versus what was billed.
Other hospital billing data were referenced as a benchmark without substantiating the relevance; in fact, A&M analysis showed that the wrong geographic region was used and when corrected, the provider was within the reasonable range.
A review of the documentation supporting the sample of claims selected by the relator showed that the relator's allegations were unsubstantiated.
Separately, A&M applied its own statistical sampling techniques to make the correct inferences about the claim population and demonstrated that the relator's findings were systematically biased in favor of the relator. As a result, the provider was able to resolve the case in its favor. Success in this case was attributed to collaboration and experienced teamwork between the provider, legal counsel and A&M.
Integrated healthcare seems to be the wave of the future in healthcare. Pressure from employers to keep rates low, combined with increased scrutiny from state regulators, could force health plans to get tougher during contract negotiations with health systems. Certain healthcare insurers may also make acquisitions of healthcare-provider networks. In addition, future reimbursement mechanisms prompted by the health reform law — such as bundled payments or accountable care organizations — will likely shift more financial risk to providers. These activities indicate that the lines between healthcare providers and healthcare insurers are blurring. While this hybrid model may result in better data sharing and claims processes, it will likely also result in more complex rate structures and an increase in the number of disputes as their interests clash.
1 31 U.S.C. § 3729 et seq.
3 Id. The suit is filed under seal. The Attorney General (or a DOJ attorney) must investigate the allegations of violations of the Act and determine where or not to intervene in the underlying action.

The R.E.A.L. Women of Canada Realistic, Equal, Active, for Life
Home/Activism, Pro-life Groups/The R.E.A.L. Women of Canada Realistic, Equal, Active, for Life
archives2009-06-23T06:40:22-04:00May 23, 1983|Activism, Pro-life Groups|
On Mother's Day this year we celebrated the birth of a special Canadian baby. Small but vocal, like all newborns, this child represents the true women's movement.
This pro-family, pro-life national women's organization, the R.E.A.L. Women of Canada, was conceived by a group of women who could no longer tolerate the way the majority is being represented. Together with the media, the various women's groups who purport to speak for the women of this country in fact only speak for small radical minorities. We, the majority, are no longer willing to allow this to happen.
The traditional family is constantly under attack today. We frequently read of the escalating divorce rate, battered women, child abuse, alternate lifestyles, the seeming breakdown of moral values. The fact is, 60% of marriages work. There are hundreds of thousands of fulfilled women, of successful families nurturing happy, well-adjusted children and young adults.
On the other hand, the pressures of modern life, have resulted in many families having to manage with the stress of working mothers, the problems of single parents, and of children being cared for outside the immediate family circle. Traditionally, the linch-pin of the family has been the mother, and so these pressures fall most heavily upon the woman. Any influence that attacks women also attacks the very structure of the family.
Working mothers, married or single, often have to become superwomen to fulfill their family responsibilities with their career responsibilities. R.E.A.L. Women is a voice for these women who need the security of quality day care and more flexible working arrangements.
While a large percentage of mothers of young children are in the paid work force, there are equally a large number of us who are lucky enough to be able to treat motherhood as a profession. As a professional mother, I greatly resent the condescending attitudes, which frequently accompany the remark, "just a housewife." R.E.A.L. Women is working to restore the dignity, respect and position in our society due to the mother.
The childless wife who is not in the paid work force is equally in need of protection. R.E.A.L. Women rejects totally the notion put forward by Judy Erola that these families should lose the spousal tax deduction because these women are supposedly not contributing to society. As Minister responsible for the Status of Women, she should know better. These women are the backbone of volunteer organizations, they are the nurturers of the community.
The single woman also nurtures the community; she too has an important place in this organization. Just as each family-unit receives special practical and emotional support from its individual members, so too does the extended family of R.E.A.L. Women receive support from the single woman.
This organization aims to unite responsible women across the country. Its strength lies in the principle that no one section of society can demand rights for itself when in so doing it is denying the equal rights of others.
The R.E.A.L. Women of Canada needs your support and encouragement. To become an effective force it has to have a substantial membership. In this issue of The Interim there is a membership form , please take the time to fill it in.

Growth Report 2017: Meridian HealthCare Treats Nearly 10,000
Editor's Note: The following story is from Growth Report 2017, published by The Business Journal.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — Across its five divisions, Meridian HealthCare served nearly 11,000 clients in 2016, says CEO Larry Moliterno, adding up to 364,360 units of service.
Meridian offers recovery, prevention, work life, criminal justice and health-care services. With greater demand, Meridian expanded its staff to 260 from 225.
One of the highlights of 2016 took place in August with the opening of a Warren office at Compass Family & Community Services, 320 High St. NE.
"This new project truly integrates primary and behavioral health care by embedding primary health care into medication assisted treatment and recovery-based programming," Moliterno says.
Meridian offers general family medicine services to the community in Trumbull County, he notes.
Last year Meridian broke ground for the Commons at Madison Avenue, a $7.1-million, 40-unit housing project developed with Compass and Help Hotline Crisis Center.
The project will provide permanent supportive housing for those with substance abuse and mental health disorders.
The organization held two fundraisers in 2016: the Winter Sprinter in February and the Crossroads Comedy Show in October. The Winter Sprinter, held on Mill Creek Metro Parks' Canfield Bike Trail, raised more than $8,000. The comedy show was sponsored by PNC Bank and raised nearly $20,000.
Other 2016 highlights include Moliterno's appearance on WTAM-AM's "Town Hall on Heroin" with Attorney General Mike DeWine and a gambling awareness event at Youngstown State University featuring former NBA referee Tim Donaghy.
Dr. Daniel Drown, Meridian's chief medical officer, was presented with an award from the Mahoning County Mental Health and Addiction Board for his leadership and advocacy for medication-assisted treatment, telemedicine and Narcan training and disbursement.
In 2016, Meridian awarded $1,000 college scholarships to four students from Howland, Mineral Ridge, Liberty and Lowellville.
Since starting the scholarship program in 2010, Meridian has awarded more than $41,000 to 15 students.

no matter interest in a sequel, touchstone snap shots opted now not to finance one. shyamalan set out to write break up using a character he had written for unbreakable but pulled from its script because of stability troubles. shyamalan found out the opportunity he needed to create a trilogy of works, and used the ending of split to establish the movie as within the unbreakable narrative. this blanketed securing the rights to use willis's unbreakable individual from waltdisney studios, with the promise of together with disney inside the production and distribution of this 0.33 film along popular snap shots. split changed into a economic and essential fulfillment, and via april 2017, shyamalan introduced that he started the manufacturing procedure for glass.
the movie had its global most appropriate at alamodrafthouse cinema on january 12, 2019 and changed into launched inside the america on january 18, 2019, by customary snap shots. it grossed $247 million international against a $20 million production budget. glass received "usually adverse reviews" from critics, who determined the movie "disappointing" and "underwhelming".
19 years after the teach crash and its aftermath, and three weeks after "the horde" incident, superhuman daviddunn is now a vigilante dubbed "the overseer" via the internet. dunn and his son joseph pursue kevinwendell crumb, any other superhuman, dubbed "the horde" with the aid of the media because of his dissociative identification sickness which produced two dozen identities, who captured three young ladies.[a] david tracks down kevin to an abandoned factory wherein he has 4 cheerleaders hostage, however he is then confronted by way of kevin's maximum dangerous persona, the beast. their warfare is interrupted through a group of law enforcement officials led by way of dr. ellie staple, who places both men in raven hill memorial mental institute. david's destined foe and terrorist – elijah charge / mr. glass – is likewise being held there for bombing the teach david became a passenger on 19 years in the past (the educate crash of which david changed into the only survivor and uncovered his superhuman nature).[b] david and kevin are located in separate rooms, every with particular safety features to save you them from escaping or posing a danger: david's room has a high-powered sprinkler system, as he believes that water is his weak point, even as kevin's room has a machine of "hypnotic lighting fixtures" that pressure him to randomly trade personalities whilst activated, for that reason neutralizing the beast.
staple explains that her task is to persuade folks that believe they are superhuman that in truth they're absolutely suffering delusions of grandeur; she tells david, elijah, and kevin that she has been given three days to persuade them of this, otherwise they will be despatched to trial. elijah's mom, joseph, and casey, a woman who survived the horde's imprisonment,[a] all go to at distinctive occasions, but fail to convince staple that the 3 men's superhuman competencies exist. as a part of her very last evaluation, staple brings the three men to a room together where she checks david and kevin's psyches; she concludes that both men's items are completely natural, with david's delusion being inspired via a head damage from the teach crash, while kevin's turned into caused by his demanding formative years of long term abuse from his mother and the unexplained absence of his father. the results distress david and angers the horde, who each lose religion inside the perception they may be exceptional-human beings. elijah, but, remains seemingly sedated at some stage in, notwithstanding staple's fine efforts.
that night time, elijah, who feigned his sedated state, escapes his cellular to analyze kevin, however is observed by means of staple who plays a prefrontal lobotomy on him. but, elijah had previously predicted this and sabotaged the surgical laser, inflicting it to have no effect on him. he is again to his cellular, however escapes again after killing his caretaker daryl. he then frees kevin and allies himself with the beast. elijah then contacts david and declares his plan to reveal the horde at a brand new skyscraper within the metropolis of philadelphia, where he additionally plans to explode a chemical corporation unless david stops the beast. as a end result, david accepts his powers yet again and uses them to break out of his mobile and pursue his enemies.
mrs. fee, joseph, casey, and staple all arrive on the institution just as the three superhumans escape. david faces off in opposition to the beast outdoor the institution; they fight once more and are lightly matched. elijah tells the beast that water is david's weak spot, however joseph intervenes and well-knownshows that kevin's father didn't depart, but instead became killed in the same teach crash david survived and elijah sabotaged. elijah justifies his movements, mentioning the incident left kevin alone together with his mom to abuse him, which caused the advent of his personalities. although the beast thanks elijah for growing him, the beast mortally wounds elijah by way of breaking his frame slowly. the beast does this because elijah's actions have shown that he cannot be depended on. david intervenes, however the beast assaults him by throwing him right into a water tank. david is able to escape the tank, but is left severely weakened via the water. the beast retreats, promising to finish their battle at the tower. before the beast can break out, however, casey intercepts him and summons kevin to "the mild". kevin is then fatally shot by using a sniper running for staple. the horde offers kevin manipulate of "the light", and he dies in casey's hands. david is then killed through considered one of staple's men, who drowns him in a water-crammed pothole, by shoving his face into it. staple informs david that she is part of a clandestine employer running to homicide superhumans, because it's miles "unfair" for them to possess unique talents. she then goes to a dying elijah and explains that the human beings she works for have suppressed and destroyed superhuman heroes and villains for millennia to protect civilization from the tyranny of dwelling "gods" among guys. elijah dies in his mom's arms, satisfied that he became right about the existence of superhumans.
with all three superhumans lifeless, staple deletes the photos from the organization's protection cameras to report her task to her superiors as a success. but, she then discovers that elijah had previously hacked the computer systems and live-streamed the security footage to a personal network, and realizes that he in no way honestly supposed to assault the tower, as the group's protection cameras provided him with all of the proof he wished. mrs. fee, joseph, and casey all obtain copies of the security footage and release it to the general public, revealing the lifestyles of superhumans to the sector.
after unbreakable's release in 2000, rumors of possible sequels started out circulating in different interviews and in movie fansites. in 2000, brucewillis was quoted as hoping for an unbreakable trilogy. in december 2000, m. night time shyamalan denied rumors he had written unbreakable as the first installment of a trilogy. in august 2001, he said that due to a hit dvd income, he had approached touchstone pix about an unbreakable sequel, an concept shyamalan said the studio in the beginning declined due to the film's disappointing field office performance.
in september 2008, shyamalan and samuel l. jackson's said discussions approximately making a sequel have been largely abandoned in light of the disappointing container workplace returns. jackson indicated he turned into nonetheless interested in a sequel, however shyamalan remained noncommittal. in february 2010, willis said that shyamalan become "nevertheless considering doing the fight film among me and sam" and stated that so long as jackson turned into able to participate, he would be "up for it".
shyamalan persevered to work on other movies, freeing split in 2016. kevinwendell crumb, played by means of jamesmcavoy, is a man laid low with dissociative identity disorder, that influences his frame chemistry to such an quantity that he adopts the mannerisms of each separate personality. this kind of personalities is "the beast", which drives crumb's frame into a feral superhuman state, guided with the aid of the desire to consume the ones who have not had a traumatic scenario in their lives – those it does not consider "damaged". crumb had to start with been written into the script for unbreakable, but shyamalan felt there have been balancing issues together with his inclusion and removed him from the tale. split changed into efficaciously rewritten from some of the scenes he had planned for crumb and accelerated out right into a standalone picture.
the final scene for break up includes the advent of daviddunn, played through willis. shyamalan blanketed dunn there to attach cut up to unbreakable, by using showing dunn getting to know approximately the escape of "the beast" and thereby figuring out that different superhumans exist, as anticipated through mr. glass (jackson). in 2017, shyamalan said despite the fact that he hoped a 3rd unbreakable film could be made and already had an define prepared, "i don't understand what's going to happen after I go off in my room, every week after this movie opens, to write down the script."
unbreakable have been produced for and owned by touchstone images, a label of waltdisney studios, at the same time as split turned into produced through ordinary photos. shyamalan acquired permission from disney to reuse the person of dunn. he met with waltdisney studios president sean bailey and came to a gentlemen's settlement wherein bailey agreed to permit the use of the man or woman within the film with out a fee, and shyamalan promised that disney might be concerned in a sequel, if evolved.
break up became met with crucial and financial achievement and, in february 2017, shyamalan affirmed his subsequent film will be the 1/3 paintings inside the trilogy.shyamalan finished the script through april 2017, saying that it'd be referred to as glass and feature a target release date of january 18, 2019. commonplace became selected to distribute the film in the america, even as disney distributes the film internationally via its buena vista global label.

Dry transfer decals add realism to buildings, fences, signs, boxcars and more!
What is the best method for removing a Dry Transfer from something that is painted with acrylic paint?
The best method we have found for removing dry transfer decals is to press a piece of clear tape onto the decal, rub with a burnisher or dull pencil, and then peel off the tape. The Dry Transfer should come off fairly easily, but it may take a couple of applications to remove it all.
If there are spots of decal remaining, soak a cotton swab in denatured or isopropyl alcohol and rub over the decal. The remainder will come off easily.
Can I apply dry transfer decals to a surface and then seal with an acrylic gloss varnish or spray vinyl fixative?
Sprays contain a propellant that is usually solvent-based. Solvents have been known to eat away at decals. We recommend using the brush-on acrylic gloss varnish. Apply to a small, test area first to check for compatibility.
Dry Transfer Decals are a quick and easy way to add graphics to your hobby projects.
Easily transfer decals from the carrier sheet to any surface.

Efficacy of interventions to combat tobacco addiction: Cochrane update of 2013 reviews
Hartmann-Boyce J., Stead LF., Cahill K., Lancaster T.
© 2014 Society for the Study of Addiction. Aims: The Cochrane Collaboration is an international not-for profit organization which produces and disseminates systematic reviews. This paper is the second in a series of annual updates of Cochrane reviews on tobacco addiction interventions, covering new and updated reviews from 2013. Methods: In 2013, the Group published two new reviews and updated 11 others. This update summarizes and comments on these reviews as well as on a review of psychosocial interventions for smoking cessation in pregnant women, and presents pooled results from reviews of cessation interventions. Results: New reviews in 2013 found: low-quality evidence that behavioural interventions with mood management components could significantly increase long-term quit rates in people with current [risk ratio (RR)=1.47, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.13-1.92) and past (RR=1.41, 95% CI=1.13-1.77] depression; evidence from network meta-analysis that varenicline and combined forms of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) are associated with higher quit rates than bupropion or single-form NRT (varenicline versus single-form NRT odds ratio (OR)=1.57, 95% credibility interval (CredI)=1.29-1.91; versus bupropion OR=1.59, 95% CredI=1.29-1.96); and no evidence of a significant increase in serious adverse events in trial participants randomized to varenicline or bupropion when compared to placebo controls. New evidence emerging from updated reviews suggests that counselling interventions can increase quit rates in pregnant women and that school-based smoking programmes with social competence curricula can lead to a significant reduction in uptake of smoking at more than a year. Updated reviews also suggested that naltrexone, selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors and St John's wort do not have a significant effect on long-term smoking cessation. Conclusions: Cochrane systematic review evidence from 2013 suggests that adding mood management to behavioural support may improve cessation outcomes in smokers with current or past depression and strengthens evidence for previous conclusions, including the safety of varenicline and bupropion and the benefits of behavioural support for smoking cessation in pregnancy.

Merseyside Poets, Writers & Artists Of The First World War - compiled by Lucy London
For the past 6 years or so Lucy London has been researching poets, writers and artists of the First World War and come across a great many who have a connection to the Merseyside area.
Wilfred Owen – who spent his formative years living in Birkenhead - needs no introduction and, although he was relatively unknown during his lifetime, is probably now the best known WW1 poet in the world. In stark contrast, others such as May Sinclair and Richard le Gallienne - to name but two - who were highly successful writers and world famous in their day, but are almost completely forgotten today.
This book contains a selection of poets, writers and artists from Merseyside and has brief biographies and, where possible, examples of their work.

Poets' Corners In Foreign Fields: A Guide To Literary Graves In Military Cemeteries
The idea for this book came from a friend of ours asked for advice regarding visiting the graves of some of the poets killed during the First World War, I sent him the list I have been compiling since 2016 but Paul, my editor and publisher, suggested it might be easier if the information was in book form.
This is very much an on-going project. I only began researching forgotten poets of WW1 in 2016 for an exhibition of those involved in The Somme Offensive and for this particular section of the project, I still need to go back and find those who were killed during 1914 and 1915.

Aviator Poets & Writers Of WW1: A Centenary Collection Compiled by Lucy London
The idea for an exhibition of poets who were in the Royal Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service during the First World War, came from a conversation I had with Marilyn Summers, who is the Air Show Deputy Director at Royal Air Force Cosford.
This book is a compilation of the exhibits that I produced for that exhibition and other interesting aviation material that I had previously gathered together.
I think it makes a fitting tribute on the 100th anniversary of the forming of the RAF from the RFC and the RNAS in 1918.

Arras, Messines, Passchendaele & More: Poets, Writers, Artists & Nurses In 1917
1917 is of particular significance to my family because Great-Uncle James Yule was killed on the Western Front on 9th April 1917 – the first day of the Battle of Arras. James has no known grave but is commemorated on the Arras Memorial in France.
My Grandfather – Lewis Jackson – was an "Old Contemptible" and fought with the Royal Artillery in Belgium and France in 1914/15. He later served in Mesopotamia and was with General Allenby when Jerusalem was liberated from the Ottoman Empire in December 1917.
This is the book of the commemorative exhibition held at The Wilfred Owen Story museum in Birkenhead in 2017 to remember some of the poets, writers, artists, musicians and nurses who were involved in the First World War during 1917.

The latest in entrepreneurial technology news for Kiwis
Retailers must prepare for social media revolution
Retailers need to ensure their back end operations are fit for purpose if they want to cash in on Instagram as a commerce platform, according to digital commerce consultancy firm Tryzens.
Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, earlier this week set out his vision to ramp up retail on the platform and connect the dots between shoppers, sellers and the app's huge number of influencers.
On the back of this, Andy Burton, CEO of Tryzens, says retailers need to prepare for this next level of shopping on the social media site.
"Instagram is already used to great effect by retailers and brands looking to communicate with and engage with consumers, but the challenge is that it can be difficult to tempt Instagram's users off the site and therefore convert 'likes' into sales," explains Burton.
"Our research suggests that 85% of millennials reach for their smartphones first when making purchases via the internet, and with one billion people using Instagram every month, the market potential for retailers to capitalise on this move is huge," he says.
"By working with Instagram, retailers will be able to reach the largest possible audience, who can purchase an item in a matter of seconds due to advancements in simplified payments on websites from the likes of Apple Pay, Android Pay, and PayPal," Burton says.
Burton says there is 'logical excitement' around Instagram's 'shoppable' content.
"And I am sure we will see further advances in the market as a whole, as additional ways to connect user and brand generated content with an intuitive, immersive and efficient shopping experience come to the fore," he says.
Burton says making the social commerce experience as easy and seamless as possible is critical to increasing conversions.
"However, retailers need to ensure that their support systems and back end operations are fit for the social media revolution – by which I mean being able to respond to enquiries in near real time, engage with consumers in the right tone of voice, and, ensuring orders are fulfilled effectively, requiring a single view of customer, single view of stock and single view of inventory to be truly agile," he explains.

Despite the election the Faye, Don and I continue our work on the Board. This mainly involves progressing our SLIPs projects and, for me as transport spokesperson on the Board, working with Auckland Transport (AT) to keep delivering better roads, and footpaths.
The results can be seen around the island as we get ready for our busy summer visitor season.
Most of you will have seen roadworks happening all around the island in the last few weeks. This is part of a cost effective road maintenance system being delivered by the AT team responsible for Central Auckland, including Waiheke, that saves tens of thousands of ratepayer dollars. Instead of the piecemeal approach we've had in the past AT now bring over the heavy and specialist equipment needed to do all the maintenance jobs in one hit with the best engineering solutions. The Board has asked them to complete the work before the tourist season gets underway at Labour weekend so we experience the least disruption. For minor inconvenience we get a great result throughout the island.
At the same time our SLIPs projects are being progressed with a new concrete bus pad installed in Ostend Rd. This will make getting on and off much safer opposite the store. More good news on the bus front is that Fullers have agreed to covert all the fleet to 'kneeling' buses in the next few months following requests from Faye, Don and I. As a BeAccessible Board we're committed to making access easier for people of all ages and several projects will result from our recent BeAccessible audit.

2017 Mock NBA Draft: Version 4.0 - Post-NCAA Tournament Edition
By Brian Rauf April 6, 2017
The 2017 NBA Draft class is being hyped as the best in over a decade with an abundance of star power at the top and plenty of depth to go along with that. And now that the NBA regular season is coming to a conclusion and the college season is over, we know which stars will be at the top of the draft and the teams that will be at the top of the draft. So, without further ado, here is Version 4.0 our 2017 Mock NBA Draft - the post-NCAA Tournament edition - with the order based on the current NBA standings:
1) Boston Celtics (via Brooklyn Nets) - Markelle Fultz, Fr., PG, Washington Huskies
6'5", 186 lbs. - 23.2 ppg, 5.9 apg, 5.7 rpg
I've had Lonzo Ball going to Boston in the top spot for most of the season, but I'm becoming more and more convinced they'll go with Fultz. I ultimately think Boston will trade this pick for an established superstar, but if they keep it, Fultz if their guy. He can do everything on the court, is a dynamic scorer and is big enough to play alongside Isaiah Thomas in the off-guard position. There are questions about his drive, leadership and passion after Washington's nine-win season, but I think the Boston brass would rather work with that than have to deal with LaVar Ball.
2) Phoenix Suns - Josh Jackson, Fr., SF, Kansas Jayhawks
6'8", 207 lbs. - 16.3 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 3.0 apg
Phoenix is loaded at the guard positions (why I have them passing on Ball) and needs players with versatility, which Jackson would provide. He's as athletic as any player in this class, is great at attacking the rim and - most importantly - is an extremely smart player. Jackson also has the passing and ball-handling abilities to play point forward, making him that much more valuable.
3) Los Angeles Lakers - Lonzo Ball, PG, Fr., UCLA Bruins
This seems to be way things are trending in LA. Ball became one of the best players in the entire country in his lone season at UCLA, turning a team that went 15-17 last year to 31-5 this year. At 6-foot-6, he can play either guard position, and while he's at his best with the ball in hands, he doesn't need it to make a huge impact on the game. His vision and up-tempo style would make him a perfect fit in head coach Luke Walton's system.
Yes, the Lakers already have D'Angelo Russell running the point, but Ball can either play alongside him or replace him. After all, Ball is a better prospect (and potentially already a better player) with more upside.
4) Orlando Magic - Jayson Tatum, Fr., SF, Duke Blue Devils
Orlando needs scoring in the worst way, and Tatum may just be the most well-rounded offensive threat in this class. He showcased a reliable jump shot (especially from mid-range) and wide array of finishes around the rim during the season. He isn't the quickest player in the world and needs work defensively, but he knows how to get his shots off by using his size and length.
5) Philadelphia 76ers - Malik Monk, SG, Fr., Kentucky Wildcats
Philly needs shooting and backcourt help in the worst way. Enter Monk, who's dynamic shooting and scoring ability nearly helped Kentucky make the Elite 8. There were times this year when he was simply unstoppable, and Philadelphia needs a perimeter weapon.
6) New York Knicks - De'Aaron Fox, Fr., PG, Kentucky Wildcats
Fox's stock is rising after the NCAA Tournament, and he's a good fit with the Knicks who need a point guard with Derrick Rose entering free agency. He has the size (6'4") and athleticism that NBA teams love, along with having the scoring ability to take over a game. That being said, he is also a pass-first point guard that would rather get his teammates involved. He's a bit like former Kentucky point guard John Wall in that sense - dangerous scorer, but he's most dangerous with his passing ability.
7) Sacramento Kings - Dennis Smith Jr., Fr., PG, NC State Wolfpack
Sacramento's point guard situation is among the worst in the league, and they'd be more than happy to land a player with Smith's potential now that he has fully recovered from a torn ACL he suffered in high school. Smith is an elite athlete and lightning quick. Couple that with very good ball handling, and Smith can get to where ever he wants on the court. He can play a little reckless at times and doesn't have the most reliable jumper, but all of the physical tools of a star are there.
8) Minnesota Timberwolves - Lauri Markkanen, PF, Fr., Arizona Wildcats
The Finland-native wanted to play at Arizona instead of entering the 2016 draft, and it has benefitted him greatly. He's already polished offensively with a reliable three-point jumper, which would make him a perfect fit as a stretch four in Minnesota next to Karl-Anthony Towns.
9) Dallas Mavericks - Frank Ntilikina, PG, Strasbourg (France)
6'5", 170 lbs. - 4.9 ppg, 1.8 rpg, 0.9 apg
Ntilikina could be the best international guard prospect we've ever seen, and with Dallas' need at the position and their international scouting department, this would be a great fit. Along with his elite size and seven-foot wingspan, he is a very good athlete that is polished in almost every phase of the game. He is a great passer with gifted vision, but his jumper does need some work - the only part of his game that is a serious flaw.
10) Sacramento Kings (via New Orleans Pelicans) - Jonathan Isaac, SF/PF, Fr., Florida State Seminoles
6'11", 210 lbs. - 12.0 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 1.5 bpg
Long and lanky, Issac obviously needs to add weight to his skinny frame, but he has all the ability in the world. His length and athleticism make him a very capable defender on the perimeter, and with his shooting ability, Isaac can be a matchup nightmare at small forward or as a stretch four. The Kings need versatility and they need offensive weapons. Isaac would provide both.
11) Detroit Pistons - Justin Jackson, SF, Jr., North Carolina Tar Heels
Jackson showcased his full potential this year at UNC as a lanky shooter/defender, making him a prime "3-and-D" guy in the NBA. However, Jackson has also proven in his career to be a terrific rebounder and knows how to score around the rim, particularly with his floater.
12) Charlotte Hornets - Miles Bridges, SF/PF, Fr. Michigan State Spartans
The Hornets really lack an explosive threat on the wing, and Bridges fits the mold. He already has the combination of size, strength and quickness that has NBA scouts drooling about his potential. A freakish athlete, Bridges also has smooth (though inconsistent) jumper, making him virtually unguardable on the offensive end when he's on. He needs to continue to improve defensively, but Bridges provides great value.
13) Miami Heat - Harry Giles, Fr., PF, Duke Blue Devils
6'11", 225 lbs. - 3.9 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 0.7 bpg
At this point, we still don't know what to make of Giles. He was the top-ranked recruit in the class, but has already torn both ACLs in high school and had three knee surgeries. He returned to the court in December month for the first time in 14 months, so while he showed all the skill of a franchise player in high school, we don't know if he can still play at that level. He has done it in flashes as he continues to re-gain his athleticism, but not consistently. For a team like Miami who is looking to add a star, they could be the ones to gamble on Giles.
14) Denver Nuggets - Terrance Ferguson, SG, Adelaide (Australia)
Ferguson opted to play in Australia instead of going to Arizona, and he has already carved out a niche role as a three-point shooter and may be the best shooter in this class. Denver needs shooing in the worst way, making this a perfect fit.
15) Portland Trail Blazers - Justin Patton, Fr., C, Creighton Blue Jays
7'0", 230 lbs. - 12.9 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 1.4 bpg
Patton has skyrocketed up draft boards with his outstanding play during his freshman season, showcasing incredible fluidity, athleticism and skill as a seven-footer. He changes the game on both sides of the ball, with is something Portland really needs from a big man.
16) Chicago Bulls - Jarrett Allen, Fr., C, Texas Longhorns
Chicago needs frontcourt depth, and Allen is kind of skilled, high-upside big man they are likely to gamble on. After a slow start to his freshman season, Allen showed why he was one of the top recruits in the country over the final two months. Even though he's a true post player, he's athletic enough to make a real impact in today's NBA.
17) Indiana Pacers - Zach Collins, PF/C, Fr., Gonzaga Bulldogs
Collins' draft stock really rose during the NCAA Tournament as he started to look like the McDonald's All-American he was, showcasing excellent footwork and shooting ability. He's still largely unproven, but is talented enough to make an impact.
18) Atlanta Hawks - T.J. Leaf, PF, Fr., UCLA Bruins
6'10", 225 lbs. - 16.3 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 2.4 apg
Leaf has surprising cemented himself as a first-round talent as he continues to play well - dominating, at times - against good competition. He will never develop into a go-to guy, but Leaf is a very smart complementary player who will be able to make an immediate impact as a stretch four.
19) Milwaukee Bucks - Rodions Kurucs, SF, Barcelona (Spain)
He needs to fill out, like most 19 year olds, but Kurucs has good ball-handling ability and is a knockdown shooter that can create shots for himself. Milwaukee needs shooting in the worst way.
20) Portland Trail Blazers (via Denver Nuggets from Memphis Grizzlies) - Bam Adebayo, PF, Fr., Kentucky Wildcats
Simply put, Adebayo is an athletic beast. He's an extremely strong player who loves getting physical on the block on both ends of the court. Adebayo is still incredibly raw developing post moves, and his athleticism is his main calling card right now. He's the perfect big man for an up-tempo NBA team, which Portland is. And, if they draft another big man earlier in the round, they can wait for Adebayo to develop into a larger role.
21) Oklahoma City Thunder - OG Anunoby, SF/PF, So., Indiana Hoosiers
6'8", 215 lbs. - 11.1 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 1.3 spg
Anunoby is the kind of athletic, versatile prospect NBA teams love - and is just starting to scratch the surface of his potential. He is a dynamite defender and a very good rebounder, and while he's still a work in progress offensively, he has the potential to be a very good small ball four. His stock dropped after season-ending ACL injury, but assuming he is able to fully recover, OKC would get an elite defender with a growing offensive game on the wing - something they've been looking for.
22) Toronto Raptors - Isaiah Hartenstein, PF, Zalgiris (Lithuania)
Hartenstein has excellent physical tools and athleticism, allowing him to play power forward instead of center, but he still struggles to put it all together at times. He can play with his back to the basket, shoot from the perimeter, create his own offense and attack the basket off the bounce - yet is very inconsistent, often makes bad decisions and is a bit of a ball hog. The potential is there, but he needs a lot of polishing.
23) Brooklyn Nets (via Washington Wizards) - Donovan Mitchell, SG, So., Louisville Cardinals
Without many draft picks for the next few years, Brooklyn needs to gamble with this late pick - and Mitchell is the high-upside prospect who fits the bill. He might be the best athlete in this class (which is saying something) and has developed a good jump shot, making an average of two three-pointers per game this season.
Mitchell is still scratching the surface of how good he can be and is already an elite defender in college basketball. The Nets would love to watch him develop into much more.
24) Orlando Magic (via Toronto Raptors from Los Angeles Clippers) - Tyler Lydon, SF/PF, So., Syracuse Orange
Lydon will be a stretch four at the next level (42.7 percent from three), and that has been his calling card in college. Scouts want to see him add strength and become more consistent, but he is a first-round talent. As Orlando looks for offense, he could be a good fit.
25) Utah Jazz - Ivan Rabb, PF, So., Cal Golden Bears
6'10", 215 lbs. - 14.0 ppg, 10.5 rpg, 1.5 apg
Rabb needs to bulk up, but he's the prototype stretch four at the NBA level. He has excellent touch around the rim and on his mid-range jumper, shooting 51.6 percent this season. However, Rabb's biggest problem is his tendency to fade out of games offensively from time to time because of his passiveness.
26) Brooklyn Nets (via Boston Celtics) - John Collins, PF, So., Wake Forest Demon Deacons
6'10", 235 lbs - 19.2 ppg, 9.2 rpg, 1.6 bpg
Another high-upside pick for the Nets, Collins is the kind of player who can give them a spark - specifically offensively - off the bench. He has taken a huge step forward this season and has emerged as a force for a Wake Forest team challenging for a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Collins will be able to contribute immediately and give them a post scoring threat once they inevitably move on from Brook Lopez.
27) Portland Trail Blazers (via Cleveland Cavaliers) - Caleb Swanigan, PF/C, So., Purdue Boilermakers
6'9", 250 lbs. - 18.5 ppg, 12.5 rpg, 3.1 apg
Swanigan was the most dominant post player in the country this season, and it's pretty much a guaranteed two points when he gets the ball on the block. He also has range that extends out to the three-point line, is a good passer and a decent defender. His lack of height is a problem, and there are questions about how effective his style will be in the NBA, but he's talented enough to be a first-round pick.
28) Los Angeles Lakers (via Houston Rockets) - Semi Ojeleye, SF/PF, Jr., SMU Mustangs
While Swanigan's back-to-the-basket style may not translate to the NBA, Ojeleye's skill set translates perfectly. His strength and athleticism makes him a perfect stretch four, and he's excellent at scoring around the basket. However, he's also quick enough to defend small forwards on the perimeter. His potential is high enough that the Lakers should take a flyer on him.
29) San Antonio Spurs - Josh Hart, SG, Sr., Villanova Wildcats
Stop me if you've heard this before - a really smart and skilled player going to the Spurs! Hart has cemented himself as a National Player of the Year candidate while leading a Villanova team that was a top team for most of the season. He's only an average athlete, but is a great shooter, reliable defender and excellent around the rim.
30) Utah Jazz (via Golden State Warriors) - Luke Kennard, SG, So., Duke Blue Devils
Kennard emerged as the best player on a loaded Duke basketball team this year. Averaging nearly 20 points per game, Kennard used his craftiness and high skill level to create shots for himself whenever he wants despite a lack of athleticism. Offensively, he's incredibly polished, and that has elevated him to a potential late first-round pick. That being said, there are still questions about his defense, but Utah can gamble on those kind of players with Rudy Gobert protecting the basket.

Chiyonosono was the first brewery to bring back Junmai Sake post WWII with their Sake called "Shared Promise".
Sacred Power is brewed with an heirloom rice called Shinriki which no one had made a sake from for over 50 years prior to Chiyonosono.
They are located on Japan's southernmost island. The warmer weather leads to a shorter faster brewing season.
Chiyonosono Shuzo Brewery is located in the Kumamoto prefecture on Kyushu, Japan's southernmost island. The warmer weather results in a shortened brewing season which can prove challenging to Toji Yoshihiro Inaba and his team. This brewery is revered for introducing Junmai sake back into production after WWII. Chiyonosono was founded in 1896 and the current president is Katsutaro Honda.
