This is the website that pays tribute to DIY filmmaker Don Dohler. Someone who became a Dohler convert in recent times is Jon Cross of the podcasts THE AFTER MOVIE DINER, B-MOVIE BARGAIN BIN and DR. ACTION AND THE KICK ASS KID. Excellent podcasts – go check them out. But we at Smash or Trash are here to nail down what it is he likes about Baltimore's horror movie Golden Child.
Robert: So Jon, I was listening to your podcast where you and a bunch of friends talked about an action movie, a mafia movie, and Don's NIGHTBEAST. I delighted in hearing how dumbfounded you were that everyone else present thought NIGHTBEAST was the best movie of the night. You were not a big fan of the movie, but have come around to enjoy it. Can you expand on what happened that initial evening that eventually swayed you into being one of Dohler's biggest supporters. And I want to ask – what do you think of NIGHTBEAST now?
Jon: I can't rightly tell you except to say that I am a creature of my moods and since starting the show a year and a half ago and coming under a barrage of new influences, my tastes have changed and evolved rapidly. I also feel like I have found myself again in a weird way. I think that night in question I was far more excited and enamored to see Massacre Mafia Style because, as a fan of Duke Mitchell's recently released Gone With The Pope, I was anxious to see the only film he shot, acted in, wrote, edited, produced and distributed in his life time. The other film that night was McBain which was a curiosity for me because it's Christopher Walken in a role you wouldn't associate with him today from the ludicrous but fun director James Glickenhaus. NightBeast after that odd double bill just seemed, well, alien to me I guess, at the time.
I think it had been a long while since I'd been exposed to that sort of independent film making and, for me, at the time, I had to click my brain into a certain gear to get it.
I have listened back to that episode and watched the film again several times and I, honestly, don't know what it was that night other than the explanation I just gave, I even remember the watching of it being fun and enjoyable so I have no idea why I was sour to it when it came to the review on the show.
As for how I feel about the film now, well I love it. I am a big fan of that original cast line up, repeated as it is from one of my favourites, The Alien Factor. In fact, I think it's the cast and the performances in NightBeast that I love most about it. To Dohler fans it's an iconic line up from The Griffith Home-Perm to George Stover's lab coat via the incomparable Mayor Burt Wicker. You just can't beat it! I also love the alien suit, the soundtrack, of course, and I love the look of the film.
I think all the films that Don made in the early part of his career have a special quality, individually and together. I, in turn, think the films he and Joe Ripple made have another special quality and are equally interesting and entertaining but different, definitely different.
NightBeast, while it tends to be a stand out and one that's often mentioned because of, I imagine, it's availability through Troma, I still put The Alien Factor and Blood Massacre at the top of my list.
Robert: I have heard that you feel the documentary on Don's life – John Kinhart's BLOOD, BOOBS, & BEAST is an excellent gateway drug to the world of Dohler. After watching this – you have gone on record of completely embracing Don's first movie – THE ALIEN FACTOR – as your favorite movie by him. Can you tell us why that is?
Jon: What Blood, Boobs and Beast did for me was to show me Don, his family and his wonderful extended family of friends, actors, crew etc. It was able to put me in a time and place where these films were made and show me how they were made. It also showed me clips from the variety of films he worked on throughout his career. All this was a fantastic way to make me re-evealuate my opinion on NightBeast and Don Dohler the filmmaker, while also whetting my appetite and making me determined to see more.
I have subsequently watched the documentary again a few times but now, as a hardcore Dohlerite, I find the two "fans" involvement in the film insulting and disrespectful. There are things to have fun with in Dohler films, as there are with almost any film, a lot of the time that is part of the entertainment with film in general, but it's not why you love them, it's not why you champion them and if it is then, I personally think that's a shame and people should look closer.
Which brings me to the reason that The Alien Factor is one of my favourites (although I think that if there's one film that could've got Don much more attention on a national level, if it had better distribution, it's Blood Massacre). The Alien Factor is so good as a first independent feature because it shares the traits that so many great first time features have. It's ambitious, it's packed full of heart and inventiveness, the alien costumes are superb, you've got that great original Dohler cast and above all, where Don could've chosen to just make your standard alien as an invading monster movie, he chooses to create an actual story behind it all, one you haven't heard before. His script has depth and twists, motives and set-ups and the characters all have their own back stories and parts to play. It's an attention to detail and crafting a world of people around the story, so that it's set in a world you can relate to, that sets it apart from the myriad of independent films that don't seem to remember a film needs a plot and character development. I agree you may have to watch the film with certain eyes to see all that but it's there and, like a magic eye poster or something, once you can focus on Dohler's films like that, you will get so much more out of them.
Robert: FIEND is Don's personal favorite as far as his films are concerned. Admittedly it is more thoughtful, serious, and slower paced than his other movies. What are your feelings and thoughts on this movie?
Jon: It's one I definitely need to revisit again but I loved Fiend when I saw it. There is so much going on in that film. I honestly felt it was talking about a lot of different things that go on internally with all of us. It's about creativity, anger, a sort of haunting loneliness and almost empathy with a monster that dates back to Jekyll and Hyde or the great Frankenstein movies of the 30s. It's also about the neighbourhood and community, fear of others, secrets and suspicions. It's very layered. Don Liefert's performance is fantastic and the make up effects wonderfully grotesque. Yes it's slower in pace and a little weird, eerie and surreal in tone but I personally like that. I would recommend it. I would recommend all his films.
Robert: Now Don's next film after NIGHTBEAST was GALAXY INVADER. According to the biography book about Don – titled B-Movie Horrors – the reason GALAXY INVADER came about is because NIGHTBEAST was supposed to be part of a video package deal for distribution. However, Don's partners on NIGHTBEAST felt the movie was too good for that deal and wanted it pulled from that package. This meant that Don had to come up with another movie very quickly; thus GALAXY INVADER was born. This brought together a lot of Dohler's core cast, plus gave starring roles to Greg Dohler and Richard Ruxton. Now this movie seems to have a lot of affection from both you and the other Dohlerites on the podcast. Can you tell us what you think about the film, and why this one seems to be so gripping to your group.
Jon: Oh yes we loved Galaxy Invader. In fact I find it hard to choose out of Don's films because just as you start thinking "well Alien Factor's the best because it's got the multiple aliens, the great cast etc." you then start thinking "yeah but look at the performances in Galaxy Invader, that great score, the fantastic ending etc."
I think the main reason I loved Galaxy Invader is, again, that wonderful way Don has of, on the surface, making a rednecks vs alien film but then layering it with wonderful characters, sub plots and ideas. That and, apart from maybe George as Rizzo in Blood Massacre and Dick Dyszel in Nightbeast, Galaxy Invader features the most fantastic performances given in a Dohler film. Don Liefert and Richard Ruxton are just tremendously enjoyable, ably supported by the wonderful Anne Frith, the dependable Dick Dyszel and the legendary George Stover. Norman Noplock's score is also one of our personal favourites. Not a lot is made of B Movie or independent scores but films can live or die based on their music and Don's films always had a great drive and atmosphere to them and that, very often, comes from the score. It's an all round entertaining, funny, exciting and well acted film, often overlooked by fans of Dohler I think but incredible when you know that this was a script and a story he gathered together at the last minute! incredible and very cool.
Robert: We now come to a major departure for Don Dohler. His next movie is a gritty crime drama named BLOOD MASSACRE. However with most of Don's movies there are several things going on besides the main story, and the film takes more twists and turns than a wine bottle cork screw. But let me not get ahead of myself. The core story is a Vietnam vet by the name of Rizzo (played by George Stover) is part of a gang that pulls small heists. After a particular job goes bad on them, the gang kidnaps a female motorist and forces her to take them to her family's home. It is at this point where literally all Hell breaks loose. Now, there is a TON going on in this movie. I know you place this very high on your list of favorite Dohler films (along with Alien Factor and Stakes) so please tell us what about BLOOD MASSACRE makes it such an incredible film for you.
Jon: The thing about Blood Massacre versus the other of Don's films is that it feels like you could watch this without knowing about Don's world, who the actors are, where it was filmed or, indeed, the budget. That it isn't better known and wasn't better distributed is an absolute crying shame because it deserves to be sat on the video shelf of every 80s horror movie geek in the world along side their copies of Intruder, Slumber Party Massacre and even a bigger title like an Evil Dead 2.
It's a great, tight, simple story that unravels and twists and turns brilliantly as the film builds to its wonderfully gory and nutty finale. It doesn't look like any other of Don's films, George is fantastic in a complete role reversal for him and it blends, mashes together and messes with genres in a way Tarantino or Rodriguez could only dream of. I can't under sell this film, everyone who asks me about Dohler I urge them, that if they watch none of Don's other films, that they watch Blood Massacre.
The thing it has in common with Dohler's other work is that it just has a near perfect idea at its core: What if you're a villain and the people you take hostage turn out to be more mental than you. In Hollywood they want you to pitch your idea in a sentence, Don's strength was being able to do exactly that but then taking that premise and pushing it into every possible, entertaining direction.
Robert: Unfortunately – due to serious distribution problems with the movie BLOOD MASSACRE (these are documented in the movie Blood, Boobs, & Beast) Don Dohler quit movie making for around a decade. Then in 1999, Producer Joel Denning teamed up with Dohler to do ALIEN RAMPAGE. Don wrote, directed and edited that production, and it was also the last movie he did which was shot on 16mm film. This was a new era for Dohler films. It had some of his regular favorites in the cast, but it introduced several new actors as well as new techniques to the fold. This is also the first appearance of his future film partner Joe Ripple.
The story is of yet another space craft that has landed on Earth, this time in search of fuel. An alien steals radioactive material and is pursued by the FBI. The being gets gunned down in the woods and is taken to a small town for treatment. When the alien got wounded, a signal was sent to its ship – triggering (1) a force field around the entire community and (2) sending a cyborg out to retrieve the alien – killing anyone that may get in the way.
There is a lot going on here, Jon. Have you had a chance to revisit this "transition stage" film, and overall what are your thoughts on everything that transpires?
Jon: I haven't revisited it but remember it pretty well. For the most part the thing I liked about it was it had a fresh look to it, Don's directing and camera movements are ambitious and exciting, it introduced Joe Ripple and I loved Stover and Ruxton's performances. Apart from that I have to say it is probably the least satisfactory Dohler film for me. He is getting back on the saddle and there's still interesting things going on but he's not hit his stride yet. It's still enjoyable and if you were in a house where this was the only Don Dohler film available then I would suggest watching this in a heart beat but really I don't think it will be a film I'll revisit as often as the others. I am not sure exactly what has changed here but maybe it's because there isn't that multi-layered story aspect to it or twist in the tale that I had become used to previously.
Robert: The next film would in turn be the very first Timewarp Films title – HARVESTERS. This is the first partnership pairing between Dohler and Joe Ripple. The story is similar to that of BLOOD MASSACRE. A gang of thugs led by a Marine vet knock over a convenience store. One of the gang gets shot and the getaway car conks out. This forces them to carjack and kidnap a young woman – making her take them to her family's house. This mild mannered family is held at gunpoint until two Federal Marshals show up, looking for the criminals. From this point on it is a cat-and-mouse chase, and not everything is as it initially seems to be.
Jon, this is the first one shot on video and directed by Joe Ripple. There are veteran cast members present, but also new additions including Leanna Chamish, Donna Sherman and Steven King. There are a lot of visual effects on display; some work, some are surreal, and some do not work. There is a strip club, a blood bath, vicious kills, stalking in the woods, Federal agents, eerie basements and a synth soundtrack. Can you separate this as its own movie (knowing its roots are in BLOOD MASSACRE) and will you please give us your thoughts on everything discussed here?
Jon: For Joe's directorial debut this is a fantastically assured piece of work and you can immediately see where Don focusing on the camera and Joe focusing on the performance has improved things and pushed everything up a notch. The new additions to the Dohlerites, especially Leanna Chamish are already making their positive presence felt, I definitely preferred Donna Sherman in this versus her turn in Alien Rampage and reliable George Stover turns in a wonderfully duplicitous evil father role that, at one particular stage, goes full blown Hannibal Lecter. Spectacularly creepy.
I think the echos of Blood Massacre for me, while I understand them because of previous distribution frustration and because it's too good a story not to tell, does make the second half of the film, for me, not feel as atmospheric or as weird and wonderful as its predecessor. I think with Blood Massacre you connect with George and therefor his 'last stand' seems more heroic and brilliant. It's also a more pleasingly frantic and crazy finale than Harvesters which is definitely more mainstream, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
The production values, camerawork and acting are definitely an interesting improvement. Also the step towards a more exploitation/horror style of film making (the blood bath, the pitch fork, the cleaver etc.) shows Don and Joe to be as inventive in this genre as Don had previously been in the alien/monster movie pictures.
Robert: We now get to Timewarp Films first vampire movie STAKES. Now the audience is luckily spared the usual Vampire lore as this movie is basically the movie THE TERMINATOR with blood-suckers. From a parallel Earth a group of Vampire hunters (lead by George Stover) jump through a portal to pursue three pure blood Vampires (lead by Leanna Chamish) that have come to our Earth and are looking to breed and feed.
This has become a favorite for you. Admittedly this has a more epic feel, a bigger cast, lots of fights and locations and epic camera work. It has George Stover in an action hero role and even a cameo appearance by Dick Dyszel. Jon, please tell us – the reading audience about your thoughts on the production, everything that is transpiring that works for you, and why this ranks very high for you in the post solo Dohler era.
Jon: Stakes is tremendous. It's in my top 3 of Don and Joe's films next to Alien Factor and Blood Massacre and definitely in my top 10 of vampire films. I am not sure where to start because it gets so many things right that I feel people should stop reading this and just go and see it.
It's inventive, you haven't seen a vampire story told like this before, it's on a bigger scale, the acting has taken yet another leap forward, it's pleasingly ambitious, Leanna is wickedly delightful and desirable in the head villainess role, George is a kick ass adversary for her, complete with tight hero roll neck, action man beret and a collection of suitable, clergy appropriate, vampire hunting weapons, Steven King really comes into his own as the nerdy comedy sidekick turned bad ass, the directing is fantastic, the camera work assured, the pace is exciting and finally they get out of the woods and into the nut factory!
Also, just recently on the Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman hosted Hollywood Babylon podcast they were talking about frozen holy water weapons and saying why hadn't it been done and the whole time I was listening I was thinking "it HAS been done! Stakes!! Don and Joe made it happen!"
Lastly, I would like to say that, as the internet continues to expose people to a variety of film making, with both low and high budgets, that there is a worrying trend of sneering, laughing or downright smuggly and superiorly attacking films like this. Don acknowledges some of this in Blood, Boobs and Beast, which is why, on re-watch, it bothers me that there were 'fans' included who do, quite simply, that. These films while, of course, there are aspects of the production that might not be perfect, polished, A grade or, more importantly, what you're used to, if you step back a moment and look again you will see the heart, the passion, the great storytelling, the invention and all the other stuff I have talked about in this article. Anyone who watches these and can't see that they creatively rise above your average shot on a shoe-string movie and present something interesting and valuable need to stop their sneering and adolescent jibes and show me that they can do better with just their friends and family in a back garden with not a lot of cash. I bet you can't.
Since the availability of HD cameras, computers to edit on and relatively affordable sound equipment, not to mention the rise of a more savvy and cineliterate/pop culture exposed audience I rarely see films that come close to the spirit, intelligence, fun and invention of Don and Joe's stuff.
Thank you Robert for giving me this great opportunity to share my enthusiasm for these films and a big thank you to all at Timewarp films and Don's family, his work was fantastic and lives on!

Even though the overwhelming majority of media attention revolves around AMD's upcoming Zen architecture and AM4 socket, it's important to not overlook new additions to the current range. The company's Carrizo architecture is the final iteration of Bulldozer which launched way back in 2011. So what does Carrizo bring to the table? Firstly, Carrizo is a major step forward towards 25×20 and delivers much better performance per watt compared to Kaveri. This is due to the "real SoC" design which positions the Southbridge and I/O ports onto the chip itself. On another note, the voltage adaptive function reduces voltage variation by a significant degree which can result in power saving gains of 19 percent. Evidently, AMD is trying to produce new processors which target affordability and low power consumption.
A few weeks after CES, AMD officially unveiled two APUs based on the Kaveri architecture and the Athlon X4 845 which utilises four Excavator cores. This particular CPU features a base frequency of 3.5GHz and maximum turbo reaching 3.8GHz. Additionally, the processor has a very respectable TDP of 65W, includes 2MB L2 cache and supports x8 PCI Express 3.0. Please note, the X4 845 requires a discrete graphics card and doesn't incorporate an iGPU. Despite this, the product has an enticing price point around £55 which is impressive given the quad-core configuration. Could this be the best budget CPU available today?
The CPU is housed in a bold, attractive box which adopts a classic red and black colour scheme. Furthermore, the imposing Athlon logo looks fantastic and really stands out from the dark background. The front clearly states that there's no iGPU which should help consumers select a processor which matches their individual requirements.
On the rear section, there's a very brief outline of the packaging's contents and the label displays information regarding the CPU's specification and part number.
Once opened, the box contains the stock heatsink, warranty information/install guide, the processor itself and a case sticker.
AMD's revised stock cooler is designed for low power usage scenarios and provides quieter operation than its predecessor. This "near-silent" 95W thermal solution can be deployed to achieve surprisingly decent overclocks although this isn't the method we rely on for AMD CPU reviews due to temperature restrictions.
From this angle, we can see the traditional FM2+ mounting system and larger fan which provides better airflow at more acceptable RPM values. Sadly, the fan cable isn't sleeved but you can't expect much when using a cooler bundled with a sub-£60 processor.
The CPU's appearance will be familiar if you own any FM2+ products and the model number is AD845XACI43KA.

The Tennessee Historical Records Advisory Board and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission gave a $1,250 grant to assist in digitizing the letters.
Letters found in a Corn Flakes cereal box reveal intimate relationships between German prisoners of war and the Tennessee locals who lived and worked among them.
Curtis Peters of Tennessee said his sister-in-law in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, found some 400 letters in the home of her great-aunt when she passed away in the late 1980s. The letters, written by German men who lived in a prison camp near Tennessee's southern border after World War II, are "social history, about their lives, their families, the hardships they suffered," said historian Tim Johnson.
"It was a different world," said Peters, a retired high school history teacher who is president of the Lawrence County Historical Society.
The family eventually donated the letters to Lipscomb University in Nashville after Peters happened to meet one of their history professors, Tim Johnson, while he had breakfast at a diner.
The letters were written between 1946 up to a Christmas card sent in 1976.
"For that long after the war, they show that's how close the relationship was," Peters said. He said he believes the 330 or so German prisoners held at the camp were held separately from those who were Nazis. According to local newspaper accounts at the time, Peters said, "The tone changed from calling them Nazis to German soldiers to German boys over a two-year period of time."
Charles McVey, German professor at Lipscomb who is translating the letters, said, "Many American only know WWII from Brad Pitt and Tom Hanks movies."
In the earliest letters, the German prisoners, who worked on the property of the Stribling and Brock families, ask the Americans for help. Peters' wife and her great-aunt were related to the Stribling and Brock families.
One German prisoner eventually became a dentist in war-torn Germany and asked for medicine for his patients or clothes, which were limited to a black market there. But the letters, which address Americans as family, such as "aunt" or "uncle," show the relationships turned into friendship, Peters said.
One of the letters that stuck with Peters the most was written by the former prisoner Willi Mueller, dated Sept. 3, 1948: "I think there would be no war and enemies in the world if the different nations could understand so well as we did. We paid dearly for starting and leading the war. I wished everybody could forget the war and the bad things that happened in it and try to live in peace and respect as neighbors. The whole world would benefit from that."
Tim Johnson, history professor at Lipscomb University who first learned about the letters, said, "I really thought this should be available to the public. It's unusual to find this large of a collection of letters."
The Tennessee Historical Records Advisory Board and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission gave a $1,250 grant to assist in digitizing the letters. Lipscomb University provided a summer faculty grant for German professor Charles McVey to translate the letters. Both of the original parties wrote in their native language and the recipients would find people to help translate them, Peters said.
The library plans to feature them in an event to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II.
"Many American only know WWII from Brad Pitt and Tom Hanks movies," McVey said. "Even though I'm a German professor and my father was a POW in Germany, I knew some Germans were POWs here in American, but it never occurred to me that German POWs were so close to our area. Through this project, we are finding people all over the U.S. who knew of these camps and knew Germans housed in them. These letters are really bringing something that was old and forgotten to life again."
McVey said that the significance to the university is its library may become a center for the study of this aspect of World War II.

Bain & Company expert expects electronic flight delays
29 December 2017 Consultancy.uk
The aerospace and aviation sectors have seen profits fall amid rising costs, with automation and electrification viewed as key strategies for reversing this. However, while this has seen investment in electric, autonomous and vertical-takeoff-and-landing concepts, the delivery of such projects remains a distant prospect.
A number of established aerospace players are presently making moves to prepare for an electronic revolution in the industry. Firms are aiming to take off in one or all of three emerging technologies, with early investors already pouring tens of millions of dollars into electric, autonomous and vertical-takeoff-and-landing (VTOL) concepts like Zunum Aero, Volocopter and Aurora Flight Sciences.
A failure to keep up with digital disruption in the aviation sector has already proven fatal for long-term market incumbents such as UK airline Monarch. In an attempt to avoid being similarly left behind, Boeing, one of Zunum's main investors, represents one of many legacy aerospace companies aiming to keep up with an industry-wide push to evolve electric technology. Fellow aerospace giant, Airbus, claims its quadrotor flying taxi is on track to make its first flight by the end of 2018, with plans to start flying the craft in cities by 2023 – with professional services firms Rockwell Collins and Honeywell also looking to benefit from advancements in autonomous technology.
Increasing costs have seen commercial aerospace profits fall slightly over the past year, and many industry players view electrification, automation and innovation as methods of cutting costs relating to labour, as well as drawing more business to their respective brands. Italian airways giant Alitalia entered bankruptcy earlier in 2017, following their failure to execute a $2.2 billion saving scheme drawn up by Roland Berger, involving cuts in pay and conditions, along with over 1,700 job-losses.
"Don't get carried away"
However, while an industrial arms-race to leverage new technology in order to drive down operating fees is understandable, an Aerospace and Defense Partner at Bain & Company has that suggested firms would do well to avoid getting carried away on the matter. Recommending the aviation sector does not neglect the provision of its usual services in the meantime, as consumers will likely have to wait longer than some more boastful companies might suggest for electronic flights, Jim Harris said, "2022 feels early to me. We're likely 15 to 20 years out for something like an electric aircraft being used for commercial passenger transportation."
Electrically fueled flights will also necessitate a structural overhaul of the present infrastructure available to airlines, as is the case with other forms of electronic travel. "The level of maintenance required is going to be significantly higher than on automobiles and you'll need the infrastructure to do that," Harris confirmed.
E-vehicles require serious investment to build out the infrastructure to refuel and service. In the UK alone, the Highways Agency has had to commit to a £15 million infrastructure programme designed to ensure that drivers are never more than 20 miles from a charging point on the UK's A roads. Similarly, measures announced in the 2017 Queen's Speech will see motorway services compelled to install a number of chargers for electric vehicles to supplement those already in place from Ecotricity with its Electric Highway, and other charging network providers.
New legacies
"The legacy in aerospace is hardware with a little software. Now software is becoming a much bigger part of this," Harris said, before adding legacy aerospace companies will be required to reposition to a model based on software. However, while this is going to necessitate a sustained period of sustained investment, most of which is currently taking place outside of the traditional aerospace areas, spikes in venture capital expenditure and M&A activity in the sector over the coming years are unlikely to see an immediate return on their commitment.
Harris warned that, regardless of the substantial resources involved in supporting projects developing electric, autonomous and vertical-takeoff-and-landing concepts, the first-generation of vehicles produced are unlikely to turn the world of aviation on its head. Instead, Harris anticipated that progress is more likely to come through adapting these technology advances to legacy aircraft, as a steady evolution, rather than revolution, occurs. "That will change how Americans, and people globally, get around," Harris concluded.

Using Habermas's theory of communicative action, this study explores the educational visions held by a multi-cultural class of students enrolled in a teacher preparation programme set in a culturally and linguistic diverse urban environment with a recent history of colonialism. The purpose of the study was to analyse the educational and teaching visions put forward by student teachers in an essay during the course "Principles of Education," which took place in the 2013–2014 academic year and to determine whether the variation in respondents' vision statements was related to the students' cultural backgrounds. The students' awareness of the instructor's grading role may have influenced the content of their vision statements, and thus Habermas's theory of communicative action was selected as it allows one to focus on both the content and the process of communicative interaction. The current qualitative research presents data from twenty Macau-Chinese and twenty non-Chinese overseas students. Their visions for education and teaching were examined along the lines of culture. The findings revealed that the idealised representations of what education and teaching is, does and symbolise, varies along culture lines. Since urban educational environments are growing culturally diverse, it is recommended that additional attention be given to cultural awareness in teacher education programmes.

International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 1–19. https://doi.org/10.1080/1034912X.2020.1808949
This study examined responses from 508 full-time teachers working in inclusive schools in Macao (SAR). The intention was to understand the teachers' perceptions about their roles and how they responded to inclusive practices in their school. Teachers' perceived levels of emotional exhaustion and cognitive work engagement were assessed in relation to several professional competencies (self-efficacy with using inclusive instruction, collaborating with parents and paraprofessionals, and managing disruptive behaviours), as well as the organisational variable of role understanding. Regression analysis showed that teachers' self-efficacy with using inclusive instruction was found to be the most powerful negative predictor of emotional exhaustion; while self-efficacy for managing disruptive behaviours was a positive predictor of teachers' cognitive work engagement. Teachers' level of understanding of their role and that of their schools was a negative predictor of emotional exhaustion and a positive predictor of cognitive work engagement. Moreover, it further confirmed that the concept of co-existence between work engagement and burnout can be applied to inclusive teachers. Results were interpreted in relation to management in inclusive schools in Macao and were followed by a discussion on the implications of enhancing inclusive education.

In Macao, the government has initiated a debate regarding revisions in the Decree Law in order to promote a more inclusive schooling system. In this Special Administrative Region of China, inclusive education is one of three possible types of special education that are likely be legislated in the future. The way the teachers perceive the different aspects related to inclusive education, namely the principles, concepts and law, is essential for its full implementation. The aim of this study is to understand teachers' perceptions about the proposed amendments in the consultation document for changes in the special education regime. In particular, we focus on teachers' acceptance of the recommended role of parents, the proposed placement models and expectations for teacher training. A mixed-methods approach with a survey of a sample of 500 teachers in private schools and interviews to a sub-sample of 20 provide the data. While agreeing in principle with the majority of the proposed changes in the Decree Law, there were several reservations made by the teachers, especially regarding the extent of parental choice, placement decisions and teacher training. Recommendations to continue the pathway for a more inclusive education system in Macao and for further research are made.

In an inclusive education system, educators engage with increasing their understanding of individual differences, especially in regard to learning, and develop and adjust learning and assessment tasks and contexts in ways that make them accessible and appropriate for all students regardless of starting ability levels, interests, learning strengths and weaknesses. In inclusive schools, diverse approaches to learning are valued and all learners are challenged and supported to be successful in their learning goals. Macao has begun the journey to develop an increasingly inclusive education system. This book has been written as the journey is beggining and explores some of the different perspectives twoard inclusion and interpretaions of "inclusive education" within Macao's education systems and the wider community at this time. The main aims of the research presented in this book are to understand the different views and roles of staff in Macao schools and in the wider community. The book raises questions about how inclusion in Macao might unfold and identifies areas where efforts may be needed to progress inclusive education.

This paper reports findings of a mixed methods study examining private school teachers' perceptions of efficacy in dealing with the challenges presented by inclusive education in Macao. This is highly pertinent after the Government invited consultation to propose changes to amendments of the Decree Law of 1996 concerning the education of students with Special Education Needs (SEN) which will likely see private schools being required to accept these students in the future. Within the context of teacher preparedness for inclusive education, the study found that a number of teachers felt that they were not at all prepared to teach students with SEN. Whilst some teachers suggested that they lacked skills and knowledge in teaching in inclusive classrooms, some felt overwhelmed with the challenges. The teachers proposed that they would need to know how to provide instructional adaptations and modifications to support students with SEN. Implications for continuous development of teacher training and education are discussed within the context of improving teacher efficacy and how private school teachers could better respond to the challenges of inclusive education in Macao.

The aim of this study was to explore home–school collaboration in the areas of assessment, placement, and Individual Education Plan (IEP) development for children identified with disabilities or special educational needs (SEN) in Macao. Despite the noted benefits of parent–school partnerships from prior research, minimal research has been conducted from the perspective of parents of children with SEN to examine whether these partnerships materialize in the context of Macao. Participants included 115 parents of school-aged children diagnosed with SEN. They provided demographic information and completed a 36-item questionnaire derived from two validated instruments. The research identified a range of factors which hinder parental involvement in decision-making and in the inclusion of children with SEN in optimal ways in Macao schools. Parents indicated they were not receiving relevant information and assessment feedback from the teachers; they were minimally involved in the IEP process, and their children were not receiving one-to-one support, regardless of the type of placement. Parents also underlined issues related to the timing of assessment procedures. Parents of children attending special classes in regular schools voiced more satisfaction with support provision than parents of children following the full inclusion model. Recommendations about how services could be improved for greater parental involvement are discussed.

Kostel svatého Jana Křtitele, španělsky San Juan de Busa nebo San Juan Bautista de Busa (aragonsky Sant Chuan de Busa) je církevní stavba v comarca Serrablo, na území města Biescas, při silnici z Olivánu do Lárrede.

Byl to pravděpodobně farní kostel středověké vesnice, která zmizela. Nechal ho postavit Ramón Guillen mezi lety 1060 a 1070 v mozárabském nebo lombardskorománském stylu, stejně jako další kostely v Serrablo.

Nemá zvonici a apsida není dokončena. Jeho obdélníková loď je kryta dřevěnou sedlovou střechou.

Ve středu jižní zdi je hlavní vchod. Je tvořen dvěma archivolty a jeho exteriér je zdoben nápisem v kúfském písmu: «není jiného boha kromě Boha».

V letech 1973 až 1977 byl obnoven z trosek. Mezi španělské památky byl zařazen v roce 1982 .

Keepsolid VPN Unlimited
KeepSolid VPN Unlimited Review
byMax Eddy May 07, 2019
KeepSolid VPN Unlimited provides a strong slate of security features, but it doesn't offer many servers, has a restrictive device policy, and is less transparent than we prefer.
Best Deal$3.33
VPN Unlimited $3.33
Specialized servers.
Well-designed client.
Strong features in some versions.
Allows P2P and BitTorrent.
Restrictive policy on number of devices.
Confusing privacy policy.
Small number of servers.
No ad blocking.
With a virtual private network (or VPN), such as VPN Unlimited from KeepSolid, you can rest assured that your browsing is encrypted and your online privacy is greatly improved. This service provides industry-standard security, but KeepSolid VPN Unlimited has lost the flexible pricing we previously appreciated, retained its restrictive device policy, and become more opaque about its practices and privacy policies.
When you switch on your VPN, it creates an encrypted tunnel between your computer and the VPN server, one that can foil hackers spying on your network or even your ISP from watching your activities. From the server, your web traffic travels off into the public internet unencrypted (unless you're connecting via HTTPS), but your actual IP address remains hidden. Without your real IP address, data-hungry website advertisers will have a harder time tracking you across the web.
By hiding your IP address, VPNs also disguise your physical location. This is why these services are used by journalists and political activists operating in countries with restrictive internet controls.
Pricing and Features
VPN Unlimited offers several pricing plans, differing in the duration and the number of devices you can use with the service. For five devices, you'll pay $9.99 a month, $59.99 per year, $99.99 every three years, or $199.99 to last your lifetime. Step it up to 10 devices, and you're looking at $14.99 per month, $89.99 per year, $149.99 every three years, and $299.99 per lifetime.
Note that all prices are charged in full at the time of billing, and a seven-day money-back guarantee is included. You can buy a plan with PayPal, credit cards, Amazon Pay, Bitcoin, and Payment Wall.
That said, the current $9.99 monthly plan is still below average for the industry. Looking just at the top 10 VPNs we have reviewed, the average listed monthly price stands at around $10.30. Among those top VPNs I've reviewed, Private Internet Access is the most affordable, at $6.95 per month.
Want to go cheaper? KeepSolid does offer a free version of VPN Unlimited called KeepSolid VPN Lite Free. This service works on Android, iOS, and macOS, and gives you access to one VPN server. The app supports the IKEv2, OpenVPN, and KeepSolid Wise VPN protocols, but chooses the "optimal" protocol and does not let you change it (more VPN on protocols later). Importantly, it does not restrict the amount of data you can use. You can also upgrade your VPN Lite account to Turbo for $24.99 per year or to Turbo Stream for $6.99 per month. While I appreciate the effort to diversify the pricepoints, this separate product with separate pricing and separate device limitations is a bit confusing. I test VPN Unlimited rather than the free VPN in this review.
There are numerous free VPNs available. ProtonVPN, from the makers of the security-focused ProtonMail email service, has the best free subscription I've seen. While it limits you to just a few countries, ProtonVPN places no limit on the amount of data you can use with a free account. VPNLite and ProtonVPN are the only free VPN subscriptions I've found that do not have a data cap.
VPN Unlimited lets you connect up to five or ten devices simultaneously. The industry average is five, and I'm happy to see KeepSolid add the ability to easily double the number of devices on your subscription. If you've got a big family or a lot of devices, it's a good option. TorGuard VPN lets you purchase up to 200 additional connections, while Avira Phantom VPN and Windscribe VPN place no limit on the number of simultaneous connections. Alternatively, you could set up your router to use KeepSolid's VPN service, providing protection to every device on your network. If you're not into that kind of a digital DIY project, KeepSolid will sell you a router preconfigured to use with the VPN.
One irritating aspect of KeepSolid VPN Unlimited is the way the company handles simultaneous connections. Most other companies simply limit the number of devices that can use the VPN service simultaneously. KeepSolid, on the other hand, allots each user five (or ten) slots that are assigned to specific devices. Even if all those devices are offline and you try to log in on a sixth (or eleventh), you'll be rejected. You can delete devices from the list to free up slots via the KeepSolid VPN website, but you can only delete one device every week. That's an unusual and irritating restriction to place on paying subscribers. It's a transparent effort to herd users toward purchasing more device slots. You can opt into the five or ten device plans, or add them in groups for less. One additional device costs 99 cents per month, five devices cost $2.99 per month, and 10 devices cost $5.99 per month. That's in addition to your monthly fee.
Unlike TorGuard VPN, which is designed as a VPN for BitTorrent and P2P services, VPN Unlimited allows file sharing on only five servers (in California, France, Luxembourg, Ontario, and Romania).
Power users looking for a personal VPN server in the country of their choice or a static IP address that is (allegedly) not associated with proxy services will be pleased to know that VPN Unlimited offers these rare options. A static IP not known to be associated with VPN companies is handy, as IP addresses used by VPN companies are sometimes blocked.
KeepSolid offers personal IP addresses, available in Canada, France, Germany, India, the Netherlands, the UK, and the US. An IP address in any of these locations costs $14.99 per month. A Personal Server offers users improved speeds, since you won't be sharing it with other VPN users. These start at $24.99 per month and have a bandwidth limit of 1TB to 3TB per month, depending on options. TorGuard also offers static IP addresses and includes other add-ons, such as access to a high-speed 10-gigabit network. So far, VPN Unlimited is the only service I've reviewed that offers server rental.
VPN Protocols
VPNs are a mature technology; as such, they offer more than one way to create an encrypted tunnel. Of the VPN protocols in use today, I prefer OpenVPN. It's known for its speed and reliability, but most importantly, it's open source. This means the source code has been picked over for potential vulnerabilities by many volunteers.
In addition to the normal slate of protocols, the company offers something called KeepSolid Wise, which disguises VPN traffic as HTTPS traffic. This is designed for use in countries where access to the free internet isn't available, and where the use of VPNs is blocked. TunnelBear has a similar feature it calls GhostBear.
For Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows, VPN Unlimited supports IKEv2, OpenVPN, and KeepSolid Wise. That's great, since Apple forces developers to jump through extra hoops to include OpenVPN in apps. iOS and macOS also support the older IPSec protocol, while Windows Phone users (if any) are limited to the less secure L2TP/IPSec.
Servers and Server Locations
VPN Unlimited sports 400 servers across 70 locations in 51 countries. That's a good distritibution of server locations compared to the competition. Private Internet Access has servers in 33 countries, while NordVPN has servers in 62 countries. ExpressVPN leads the pack, with servers in 94 countries. A good mix of countries means you'll always have a VPN server close by for better performance while traveling, and more options for location spoofing.
While VPN Unlimited offers a fairly good mix of server locations—covering the oft-ignored regions of South America and India—it has no servers in all of Africa. KeepSolid does provide servers in some regions known for internet censorship, such as China, Turkey, and Vietnam, it has ceased operations in Russia. It's not too surprising to see Russia leave the list, as operating a VPN in many regions is becoming increasingly difficult.
With only 400 servers, KeepSolid VPN Unlimited is a squarely mid-sized operation. NordVPN leads the pack with over 5,200 servers, while CyberGhost, ExpressVPN, and TorGuard VPN all have over 3,000 servers. Total server count is partly a function of the number of subscribers, but a larger collection of servers can mean you'll have better performance.
We think of servers as being physical machines, but a single hardware server can host several software-defined virtual servers. The trouble with virtual servers is that it's not always clear where they are truly located or where your data is traveling. Some companies, like ExpressVPN, make it clear that they use virtual servers to meet sudden demand and to provide coverage for dangerous regions by keeping physical servers in safer locations. KeepSolid has opted not to provide information as to the actual location of its servers, citing a non-disclosure agreement. No other VPN company has cited an NDA as a reason to withhold this information and KeepSolid refused to even characterize its use of virtual servers. That's very disappointing and doesn't engender trust in my eyes.
Your Privacy With KeepSolid VPN Unlimited
Although a VPN is intended to protect your privacy, using one requires that you trust the VPN company. That's because the company can have the same level of insight as your ISP and could do all kinds of unpleasant things if it isn't an ethical company. It's also important that a VPN service retain as little information about you as possible. Otherwise, that information could be used to identify you online and defeat the purpose of using a VPN in the first place.
KeepSolid's privacy policy is extensive and occasionally vague as it covers all of KeepSolid's products. It's unclear, for instance, when a situation described in the policy might apply to you as a VPN user. Additionally, the policy does not contain the usual information about VPN usage I'd expect to see. For instance, the policy says that it automatically collects—and later that it does not store—information including IP address, browser type, OS, device information, and even the name of your WiFi network. A company representative explained to me that KeepSolid does not retain the information mentioned above for VPN customers. For those people, KeepSolid only retains device name (or "device code"), email, and social media information if you provide it.
The policy also says that the company won't sell or rent your personal data, but if KeepSolid did do that, it would ask first. Lastly, the policy mentions that data may be given to law enforcement if necessary, but does not indicate what information that could be or if that information would be unencrypted or identifiable. When I spoke to a KeepSolid representative, I was told that the company keeps no logs and therefore would have nothing to provide to law enforcement.
KeepSolid's representative was clear that the company does not make money from sources other than subscriptions. That's very good.
The full name of the company is KeepSolid Inc., and the representative I spoke with says it is based in the US with its R&D in Ukraine, and operates under US legal jurisdiction. This means it is not subject to any specific data retention laws. I don't believe that I can make a judgment on how safe a VPN company is based solely on its location, and I encourage you to simply go with the company you feel you can trust the most.
Many VPN companies have begun commissioning third-party audits to verify different aspects of their privacy policies and service. TunnelBear, for example, has committed to releasing annual audits. KeepSolid has a more contrarian view. A company representative tells me, "We rely on our users' feedback and experience and trust them more than third-party audits." KeepSolid also has not participated in the Center for Democracy and Technology's VPN questionnaire.
The information I received from KeepSolid, and the information in its privacy policy, does leave something to be desired. I would not say there are explicit red flags, but there is a lack of clarity that must be addressed so customers (and reviewers!) know exactly how this service works. The company needs to clear this up soon.
Hands-On With VPN Unlimited for Windows
Although you can manually configure a computer to use a VPN, most services offer an app to do the heavy lifting for you. In my testing, I used a Lenovo ThinkPad T460s laptop running Windows 10. An even older version of the client, for Windows XP machines, is also available on the company website, but if you're still using Windows XP you have other problems to worry about besides VPNs.
KeepSolid recently launched a new version of its app with a refreshed interface, which is bright, clean, and easy to use. Unfortunately, it still advises users to deactivate their antivirus applications before installing the KeepSolid Unlimited VPN client. I'm disappointed that KeepSolid is advising people to deactivate their antivirus products in order to install, of all things, a security product. Not only is it a confusing hurdle to pass, but it also encourages people to make themselves less safe. Sure, maybe it's just off for a moment, but if it were a bogus installer made to look like KeepSolid VPN Unlimited then the victim would find the real site advising them to turn off their antivirus. Or perhaps customers won't remember to turn their antivirus back on. Either way, it's not great.
My installation appeared to work fine, so I soldiered on. The app is built around a map of the world, showing your current location in blue and bubbles across the world indicating VPN Unlimited servers. Unlike NordVPN ($3.49 Per Month at NordVPN) or TunnelBear, you can't interact with the map. A large Start button at the bottom quickly connects you to the nearest server by default. I appreciate this design choice, since most people just want their VPN app to work without having to fiddle with it.
Clicking the location button pulls up a new view showing all the available VPN servers. Tabs across the top let you sort the list by servers you've added to Favorites, All servers, Torrent, and Streaming. You can also use the search bar at the top. I like this arrangement, and I especially like that the client shows ping time and an approximation of the load on each server. I also like that I can see individual servers, not just generalized locations, and pick the one that works best for whatever I need.
From Settings, you can change your VPN protocol, and toggle VPN Unlimited's custom DNS server. You should probably leave these alone. The Kill Switch toggle, when activated, blocks all traffic from your machine should the VPN connection break. The Trusted Networks pane is a whitelist of networks. If you connect to a network you've added to the list, VPN Unlimited switches off. I prefer this to blacklists, since most networks shouldn't be trusted.
When using a VPN, you don't want your information being leaked accidentally. In my testing, I confirmed that KeepSolid VPN Unlimited successfully hid my IP address and my ISP information. Using the DNS Leak Test tool, the service did not appear to leak DNS information. That's excellent.
Windows Store version of KeepSolid VPN Unlimited
Alternatively, you can opt to install KeepSolid VPN Unlimited from the Microsoft Store. Doing so does not generate a warning about needing to deactivate antivirus before installation. I found the app to be easy to use and snappily responsive. It does lack some of the advanced settings found in its standalone counterpart. For example, the Microsoft Store version only supports the IKEv2 protocol.
KeepSolid VPN Unlimited and Netflix
Netflix and other streaming services are keen to block the use of VPNs. That's because of geographically specific licenses for streaming content. For example: in the US, Star Trek: Discovery is only available on CBS All Access. If you live anywhere else in the world, you can watch it on Netflix. In order to enforce that restriction, Netflix and others will try to prevent you from spoofing your location via VPN.
Unfortunately, I was not able to stream shows from Netflix while connected to a KeepSolid VPN Unlimited server in the US. That could change at any time, so your mileage may vary. I was, however, able to watch Netflix when connected to KeepSolid's dedicated Netflix streaming server.
Beyond VPN
KeepSolid previously offered what it called DNS Firewall. This was a bundle of features aimed at preventing websites from tracking your movements, protecting you against malware, and blocking ads. However, the company has since decided to remove this suite of tools. When I asked why, a KeepSolid representative said that the DNS Firewall blocked only 80 percent of ads and was being redesigned to better protect users.
Other VPN services bundle malicious site protection, protection against malicious downloads, and even ad blocking in with their VPNs. It's important to understand their limitations. These tools complement your existing antivirus solution or privacy tools, rather than replace them. NordVPN and Private Internet Access block ads, and TunnelBear notably offers separate browser apps for ad blocking and password management, the latter known whimsically as RememBear.
Regardless of the VPN service you use, you'll likely experience more latency and decreased upload and download speeds. To get a sense of the impact using a particular VPN will have on internet speeds, I perform a series of tests with Ookla's speed test tool to find a percent change between performance with and without a VPN. You can read all about how I test VPNs in a feature aptly titled, "How We Test VPNs."
(Editors' Note: Ookla Speedtest is owned by j2 Global, the parent company of PCMag's publisher, Ziff Davis.)
See How We Test VPNs
My tests showed that KeepSolid VPN Unlimited increased latency by 3,150 percent—surprisingly, not the worst score for this category. I also found that it reduced download speeds by 89.9 percent and upload speeds by 96 percent. You can see how KeepSolid VPN Unlimited compares in the chart below with the top 10 performers among the more than 30 services we tested.
All that being said, I try to discourage people from choosing a VPN based on speed test results alone. After all, different servers and network conditions can dramatically change the results. Based on my results, however, it's fair to say that HideIPVPN is the fastest VPN, as it had the best results in both download and upload testing.
KeepSolid VPN Unlimited on Other Platforms
KeepSolid has numerous clients for its VPN Unlimited product, including: Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows. Notably, the company also offers a Windows Phone option and has instructions on how to use the product with Apple TV—although you're just streaming via AirPlay. I highly recommend using a first-party VPN app whenever possible, as they provide greater access to features and are infinitely easier to use than manual configuration.
KeepSolid also offers browser plug-ins for Chrome, Firefox, and Opera. Browser plug-ins let you spoof the location of your browser traffic—and only your browser traffic—but secure your connection differently than a fully realized VPN. They're useful, but I recommend sticking with an app wherever you can.
Increasingly Limited
Since we first reviewed KeepSolid VPN Unlimited, the company has winnowed down its service in terms of features and pricing. It no longer offers the flexible pricing schemes that so impressed us in the past, and its draconian approach to limiting simultaneous connections isn't a great experience. It also disheartening to see the company become more obtuse with its privacy policy, and to see it claim cannot release the basic information about its server infrastructure that other VPN companies provide. That said, the introduction of VPN Lite has brought new appeal to the company's offering.
We continue to recommend our Editors' Choice winners: NordVPN for its features and server fleet, Private Internet Access for its affordable pricing, ProtonVPN for its technology and flexible pricing, and TunnelBear for its friendliness.

Dangerous or misunderstood? Local governments in Georgia restrict pit bulls
More than 4.7 million Americans are bitten by dogs annually, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For some families, these bites turn into attacks with devastating consequences.
Tragedy struck a community when a boy was killed and a girl was injured early Tuesday in a dog attack on the way to school, according to Atlanta police. One of the dogs involved in the attack was a pit bull mix and the other was a border collie, according to Fulton County Animal Control.
More than two dozen people have been involved in fatal incidents with pit bulls in Georgia since 1980, according to DogsBite.org, a group that tracks serious dog attacks across the country.
Between 1982 and 2014, pit bulls were responsible for 68 percent of dog attacks and 52 percent of dog-related deaths.
Pit bulls are often represented as "dangerous" because they are often bred and trained to be fighting dogs. Authorities arrested a Georgia man in 2016 suspected of mistreating and training dog - mostly pit bulls, for dogfighting, according to reports by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
But is the reputation deserved? The American Kennel Club, which classifies pit bulls as American Staffordshire Terriers, describes the breed as "people-oriented" and "intelligent and excellent guardians."
In 2015, the Georgia General Assembly considered preventing local authorities from banning pit bulls, but eventually backed away from that effort. A law passed in 2016 permits local governments to continue writing own measures to deal with "vicious dogs, abandoned dogs, or stray dogs."
Senate Bill 184 was signed by Gov. Nathan Deal and went into effect July 1, 2016.
Pit bull ordinances in metro Atlanta
Cobb County: The city of Marietta prohibits pit bulls and Rottweilers from dog parks or off-leash areas.
Gwinnett County: The city of Lawrenceville has restrictions against pit bulls and ordinances against "vicious dogs."
Fulton County: The city of East Point declares pit bulls, rottweilers, doberman pinschers and German shepherds as "potentially dangerous."

No change. The San Antonio-New Braunfels metro area unemployment rate remained unchanged at 7.9 percent in September. The unaffected status happened only after adjustments by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the August unemployment rate. The August rate was originally reported at 7.8 percent, but this is based upon preliminary numbers derived from surveys. It is not uncommon for adjustments to be made after additional reviews of sampling.
While the unemployment rate remained the same, there are some significant industry job changes at this time. Local Government added the most jobs over-the-month with 5,100 (5.2%) as public school filled jobs for the new school year. When we compare this growth to this time last year, it is a loss of -3,000 jobs. We knew the state budget cuts would eventually show in the number of jobs, and it seems to have begun. Next month will tell us more. On average, we see 1,900 jobs added to this industry between September and October. That may not be the case next report.
On a good note, positive job growth continues in Construction with 400 additional jobs (0.9%) over-the-month and 1,800 more jobs (4.2%) over-the-year. After reviewing data for the last five years, we found that we have historically lost jobs in Construction at this time of year. In fact, that has been the case since 2005. It is encouraging to see this change.
Other news includes Retail Trade added 800 jobs (0.8%) since August and 2,800 jobs (3.0%) since September last year. Financial Activities continues to fluctuate but added 500 jobs (0.8%) over-the-month, and reports a loss of -300 jobs (-0.5%) over-the-year at this time. There are no changes reported in Mining and Logging for the MSA this month. This is interesting after all the activity happening in the Eagle Ford Shale. Yet, it does still show a whopping annual growth of 14.7%, so jobs have definitely been added.
When the Workforce Solutions Alamo metro area is compared to the state and nation, the Texas unadjusted (actual) unemployment rate remained at 8.4 percent in September, the same rate reported for August after adjustments by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (the unemployment rate was originally reported at 8.5 percent). The nation's unadjusted (actual) unemployment decreased to 8.8 percent in September, down from 9.1 percent reported in August. Comparatively, the state and nation release seasonally adjusted unemployment rates with both Texas and the nation holding steady at 8.5 percent and 9.1 percent respectively in September.


Company acquires the minority interests in Western Diversified Mining Resources, Inc.
NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- August 4, 2006 -- Great West Gold, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: GWGO) confirms that it has acquired the 28.57% of Western Diversified Mining Resources, Inc. ("Western") that was held by outside investors. The Company now owns 100% of Western.

(should they convert these loans into shares of shares of Common Stock of the Company) for a period of not less than two years* from the date of any issue of shares of Common Stock of Great West Gold, Inc. to themselves.

Single-family homes built-for-rent increased to approximately 8,000 starts for the second quarter of 2015, compared to about 6,000 for the same period of 2014. The share and count of built-for-rent starts are off post-recession highs and will likely approach historical norms as the housing market continues to expand. However, given the relatively small size of this market, care must be taken when tracing changes in the estimates.
According to data from the Census Bureau's Quarterly Starts and Completions by Purpose and Design and NAHB analysis, the market share of single-family homes built-for-rent, as measured on a one-year moving average, stands at 3.8% of total single-family starts for the second quarter of 2015. It is worth noting that the estimates for this market segment are small, so that quarter to quarter movements are typically not statistically significant.
The current market share remains higher than the historical average of 2.8% but is down from the 5.8% registered at the start of 2013.
This class of single-family construction excludes homes that are sold to another party for rental purposes. It only includes homes built and held for rental purposes.
With the onset of the Great Recession, the share of built-for-rent homes rose.
Despite the current elevated market concentration, the total number of single-family starts built-for-rent remains fairly low – only 26,000 homes started during the last four quarters.
Of course, the built-for-rent share of single-family homes is considerably smaller than the single-family home portion of the rental housing stock, which is 29% according to the 2011 American Community Survey. The reason for this is that as single-family homes age, they often transition to the rental housing stock.
