Key details about low-cost loans under Budget 2017 revealed
Amy Forde
Oct 12, 2016, 6:30am
Further details regarding the loan fund of €150m, announced under Budget 2017, which is to support low-cost loans for farmers have been revealed by the Minister for Agriculture, Michael Creed.
The loans are aimed at strategically alleviating the pressures of income volatility, the Minister said.
"The loans will enable farmers to improve the management of their cash flow and reduce the cost of their short term borrowings.
"The fund is to be provided for through funding of just under €25m for a low interest agri-cash flow fund for farmers, to be developed by the Department of Agriculture in partnership with the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland (SBCI)," he said.
This fund included the €11m made available under the EU's exceptional adjustment aid for milk and other livestock farmers, which the Government has matched (€11m) and added €3m to.
1.What farmers can apply?
Livestock, tillage and horticulture farmers are allowed to apply for the loans, which will have an interest rate of 2.95%.
2.How much can a farmer borrow?
Farmers can borrow up to a maximum amount of €150,000 and there is no minimum level of borrowing, according to the Minister.
3.How will a farmer know if he/she is eligible for a loan?
The Department has said that eligibility for livestock farmers will be in line with the conditions laid down in the EU exceptional adjustment aid regulation.
Meanwhile, loans to non-livestock farmers will be subject to de minimis State Aid requirements, it said. Normal lending assessment criteria will apply.
4.When does the loan have to be drawn down by?
The Minister for Agriculture has said that loans will have to be drawn down by September 2017.
5. When will farmers be able to apply?
It is hoped that farmers will be able to apply for the loans early in the new year.
The Minister is encouraging farmers to consider their cash flow and borrowings situation now, and if appropriate, to be prepared to apply for these loans when they become available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Further details of the loan fund will be provided in early November, when an open call for lending institutions to participate is expected.

No matter your age, you should feel Primed for your Life and have sustained energy throughout your day. Then, once tired, sleep well for at least 7 hours and wake ready and re-charged for another great day. Is this how you feel? Do you feel great all day long?
1. Stomach/digestive issues such as gas, bloating or diarrhea. A friend of mine fixed his irritable bowel syndrome of 15 years after going Primed.
3. Moodiness, depression, irritability, anxiety and other temperament issues.
4. Fatigue in the morning or after lunch. Any energy issues throughout the day.
5. Brain fog, lack of mental clarity, dizziness or other neurological issues.
6. PMS, PCOS or other similar issues. Mae cured her PCOS with her Primed Lifestyle.
7. Excess weight/obesity/too skinny. Another friend (lets call him Maiqui) lost 15 pounds in 3 weeks. Picture below before and after going Primed.
10.Inflammation that might give you sore joints, back pain or other unexplained aches and pains. Another client had his long-term back pain mysteriously disappear after improving his food intake.
11.Poor memory, poor concentration or forgetfulness.
13.Skin issues like pimples, rashes etc.
14.Difficulty in sleeping at night.
15.Basically anything that does not allow you to feel energized throughout your entire day and affects your quality of life.
If you are suffering from any of the above ailments then you should also know that it is not normal. Normal is to feel great. So, what is causing this?
1. Lack of Vitamin D (sunshine is essential).
2. Lack of movement by sitting too much. Read this interesting article.
3. Too much stress in your life.
4. Not enough water to properly hydrate your body and mind.
5. Lack of proper nutrition in your food choices that then have negative health consequences for you. This is probably a major contributing factor and one you can adjust relatively easily with some help and guidance.
Why not try a trial period of limiting grains, sugar, beans and vegetable oils for 2 weeks?
I did this before my Melbourne Ironman and felt so great (and lost 6 kilos) that I eliminated all those items full-time after my 2 week trial. I have since maintained the Primed Lifestyle with ease.
I have never felt better or been happier in my life and I get to eat a lot of great food daily. I am not reliant on my excessive exercise to maintain a reasonable body shape.
Make it a New Years resolution to try and feel great again with no pain and no ailments. If you need a Wellness Coach as a guide then feel free to contact me at 0929-421-2148 or at chad.davis.1@gmail.com.

Easy MaPo Tofu (Spicy Sichuan Minced Meat Tofu)-Learn how to make this easy yet authentic tasting Sichuan Mapo Tofu. This classic Sichuan dish will quickly become your favorite.
I've made this ever since I was in college. It's like one of the easiest one-pot Chinese dish to prepare. I remember how my sister often teased me whenever I decided to cook back in those days. She knew we would be having mapo tofu ha..ha…! I always have some sort of ground/minced meat and tofu in our fridge. So, needless to say, this appeared on the menu pretty often.
You probably don't need me to tell you that mapo doufu, or mapo tofu, is a popular Sichuan dish. It is a combination of tofu (bean curd) in a spicy chili oil and Chinese chili bean paste (dou ban jiang), often cooked with minced pork and amplified by the numbing Sichuan peppercorns. I know it sounds weird, but I love that numb sensation these peppercorns give on the tongue.
You can use ground turkey, chicken, or beef. A fatty cut of meat like pork belly slices will be very tasty too.
To the same wok and oil, add aromatics and stir fry for about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Watch out not to burn them. Add ground pork and stir-fry for 2 minutes and use the wooden or metal spatula to break up the meat while stir frying.

OPG says alert about Pickering nuclear plant incident was sent in error
Top Story CP
TORONTO — An alert warning Ontario residents of an unspecified incident at Pickering Nuclear Generating Station early Sunday morning was sent in error, Ontario Power Generation said.
OPG sent out a tweet about 40 minutes after the emergency alert, which was pushed to cellphones at about 7:30 a.m., saying it was a mistake.
A follow-up alert was sent to cellphones nearly two hours after the original notification, and about an hour after the OPG tweet.
"There is NO active nuclear situation taking place at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station," the alert said. "The previous alert was issued in error. There is no danger to the public or environment. No further action is required."
Premier Doug Ford's office said it was working to figure out what happened.
The original alert warned people within 10 kilometres of the facility east of Toronto of an unspecified incident. There was no abnormal release of radioactivity and people near the plant didn't need to take protective actions, the alert said.
Pickering has been operating since 1971, and had been scheduled to be decommissioned this year, but the former Liberal government — and the current Progressive Conservative government — committed to keeping it open until 2024. Decommissioning is now set to start in 2028.
It operates six CANDU reactors, generates 14 per cent of Ontario's electricity, and is responsible for 4,500 jobs across the region, according to OPG.

Haitian-Canadians commemorate 10 year anniversary of deadly earthquake
151st Cowichan Exhibition includes new category: best home-grown pot
Three possible cases of a new type of viral pneumonia have been investigated in Canada and ruled out as coronavirus, the country's chief public health officer said Monday.
The World Health Organization, meanwhile, announced plans to hold an emergency meeting to decide whether the illness linked to three deaths in China is an international emergency.
Dr. Theresa Tam declined to say where in Canada the potential cases were located, but she said the individuals had travelled to Wuhan, the Chinese province where coronavirus is believed to have originated in a now-closed seafood market before being detected in Shenzhen and Beijing and beyond to Japan, Thailand and South Korea.
"What I can say is that I did immediately contact my counterparts, the chief medical officers of health, in the provinces and territories. They in turn have notified their front line in terms of their health system," Tam said.
The novel coronavirus was thought to spread from animals but Chinese officials have said it's now being transmitted from human to human and 217 cases had been confirmed as concerns mount the virus may be increasingly transmitted during the upcoming Chinese lunar new year holidays.
Canadians are at low risk of contracting the illness, Tam said, adding precautionary measures are being taken, including screenings at airports in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal of passengers who have flu-like symptoms after travelling from Wuhan in central China.
Messages in English, French and simplified Chinese will also appear on arrivals screens at the airports in the coming weeks, Tam said. The measures are similar to those at airports in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York as well as in some Asian countries.
An additional health screening question will be added to electronic kiosks on whether passengers have travelled to an affected area in the last 14 days, she said.
"It is important to take this seriously and be vigilant and be prepared but I don't think there's any reason to panic or be overly concerned," Tam said, adding the novel virus has non-specific symptoms, such as fever, cough and difficulty breathing.
Coronaviruses, including severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, first infected people in southern China in late 2002 before spreading to more than two dozen countries and killing over 900 people globally, including 44 in Canada.
Two commissions of inquiry criticized the health system's response to SARS, leading to changes including the creation of the Public Health Agency of Canada.
Tam said Canada is now better prepared to respond to similar situations.
"We have governance mechanisms with the provinces and territories," she said, adding that a national laboratory to test for infectious diseases also owes its existence to the tragedy, which mostly involved people in the Toronto area in Canada.
She said the severity or the full spectrum of the current coronavirus is unknown.
The World Health Organization is expected to meet on Wednesday. Tam said if an international emergency is declared, the agency will make temporary recommendations that Canada would adopt.
Dr. Allison McGeer, who was head of infection control at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto during the SARS outbreak and is now a researcher in the field there, said trying to stop coronavirus at airports through current screening measures won't help if an increasing number of people are exposed.
McGeer, who contracted SARS at a Toronto hospital while at the centre of the early response to the virus, noted the Spanish flu pandemic that swept the world between 1918 and 1920 killed an estimated 50 million people, decades before extensive air travel.
"Screening at airports is difficult to do well and very expensive, so what we want our government doing is thinking very carefully about what the right extent is and the timing of it and making decisions based on science and evidence, not based on what our gut feeling is because the gut feeling tends to be we can control this at our borders, we can stop it coming in. But microbes don't recognize borders. It does not work," she said.
McGeer said pandemic preparedness policies are much more applicable to slowing a virus's transmission in populations.

OTTAWA — As of Jan. 1, every Canadian and all Canadian businesses are paying a price on carbon.
The federal Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act means provinces that do not have their own price on pollution that meets a federal standard get the federal carbon tax applied to them. That includes Manitoba, whose premier talked Monday about the prospect of replacing the federal charge with a home-grown version.
The federal tax is currently $20 a tonne and will rise $10 a year, on April 1 of each year until it hits $50 a tonne in 2022.
For individuals and businesses with relatively small emissions, that carbon levy is applied to liquid and gaseous fuels at the point of purchase. Households receive rebates on their income taxes to offset the cost of the carbon tax. The amount varies by province to account for different uses of fossil fuels.
There is a separate carbon pricing system for big industrial emitters. It charges the tax on a portion of their emissions, rather than on the fuels they purchase. This is known as the "output-based pricing system," and the carbon price is charged on between five and 20 per cent of those emissions depending on the industry.
Some provinces have both federal systems in place, while others use one or the other. Here's a quick glimpse at how the national price on pollution works in every province and territory.
Charges a provincewide carbon tax of $40 per tonne on fossil fuels including gasoline, natural gas and diesel. The B.C. government intends to raise the tax to $45 on April 1, and to $50 on April 1, 2021.
B.C. uses revenues to invest in clean technology and environment policies, as well as provide direct rebates to individual households with an income-based tax credit. The credit is worth up to $154.50 per adult (or for the first child in a single-parent home) and $45.50 per child. The credit is phased out as income rises, and eliminated completely for any family with a net income over $62,964.
Albertans began paying the federal carbon levy Jan. 1. Alberta is challenging Ottawa's authority to impose the tax in court.
The carbon rebate in Alberta will amount to $888 for a family of four in 2020. The amount represents a rebate for carbon tax paid over 15 months, from January 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021, because Albertans were not included in the rebate program last year.
Ottawa recently approved the Alberta system for big emitters, which charges $30 a tonne on emissions from facilities that emit more than 100,000 tonnes a year. Those facilities are each asked to reduce emissions by 10 per cent in the first year, and one per cent per year after that. If they don't hit those reductions, they pay the carbon tax on whatever they emit over their cap, or buy credits from firms that exceed their targeted reductions.
Saskatchewan families and small businesses pay the federal carbon levy. A Saskatchewan family of four received $609 in the climate rebate in 2019, and it will be $809 in 2020.
Saskatchewan has a large industrial carbon price that partially meets Ottawa's requirements, so Ottawa is charging its output-based carbon price on electricity generators and pipelines that are not subject to the provincial system.
Manitoba families and small businesses pay the federal carbon levy. A Manitoba family of four received $339 from the Climate Action Incentive in 2019 and will receive $486 in 2020.
The province is also subject to the output-based system on any facility emitting more than 50,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas each year.
On Jan. 20, Premier Brian Pallister raised the possibility of replacing the federal levy with a provincial one, which he said should be "flat and low like the prairie horizon."
Ontario families and small businesses pay the federal carbon levy. Ontario challenged Ottawa's authority to impose the carbon levy in court and lost and is now appealing to the Supreme Court of Canada.
An Ontario family of four received $307 in 2019 from the climate rebate and will receive $448 in 2020.
Quebec has had a cap-and-trade system since 2013. The system sets caps on emissions by industry, and companies that cannot reduce their emissions below that cap must buy credits from a carbon market shared with California. Each jurisdiction sets a minimum price per tonne for credits, which in Quebec last year was the equivalent of $20.82 per tonne of emissions.
Individuals pay the carbon cost embedded in the price of goods.
New Brunswick is subject to the federal carbon levy of $20 a tonne but on April 1, it will switch to a provincial system. The details of that system are still to come but will involve introducing a price per tonne on carbon and then reducing the province's gas tax by a similar amount to make the cost to individuals mostly neutral.
New Brunswick industry is also subject to the federal output based system at the moment but has proposed its own version that requires big emitters to cut pollution by 10 per cent over the next decade.
Nova Scotia introduced a cap-and-trade system in January 2019 that meets the federal standards. It sets limits on emissions in specific industries and companies that emit more than their limits must buy credits from companies that emit less than their limits.
P.E.I. has a provincial carbon levy of $20 a tonne on most liquid and gaseous fuels with the exception of furnace oil and propane.
P.E.I. opted to use Ottawa's output-based system for big emitters.
Newfoundland and Labrador introduced a carbon price of $20 per tonne on Jan. 1, 2019. At the same time it reduced its provincial gas tax by about the same amount.
The province has an output-based system for big industry that sets targets for cutting emissions.
Opted to use the federal carbon levy but was allowed to collect the revenues itself. It is providing rebates of about $172 per family of four in 2019 and 2020.
Yukon is paying $20 per tonne on fuels. The territory is exempt from paying the tax on aviation gasoline and aviation turbo fuel.
The territory is also using the federal output-based system for big emitters.
Implemented a territorial carbon tax of $20 per tonne last fall, with various rebates and offsets to aid residents, including a 100 per-cent point-of-purchase rebate on the carbon tax on home heating fuel, and a cost-of-living benefit of $260 per adult and $300 per child.
Opted to use the federal carbon levy. Nunavut is reducing the cost to individuals by covering half the levy, meaning instead of the cost of five gallons of gasoline going up 90 cents, it will go up 45 cents, with the territory paying the other 45 cents. The levy applies to all fuels except aviation gasoline and aviation turbo fuel.
Nunavut is also using the federal output-based system for industrial emitters.

Homebrew Metrology The CERN Way
Dan Maloney
We won't pretend to fully grok everything going on with this open-source 8.5-digit voltmeter that [Marco Reps] built. After all, the design came from the wizards at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, home to the Large Hadron Collider and other implements of Big Science. But we will admit to finding the level of this build quality absolutely gobsmacking, and totally worth watching the video for.
As [Marco] relates, an upcoming experiment at CERN will demand a large number of precision voltmeters, the expense of which led to a homebrew design that was released on the Open Hardware Repository. "Homebrew" perhaps undersells the build a bit, though. The design calls for a consistent thermal environment for the ADC, so there's a mezzanine level on the board with an intricately designed Peltier thermal control system, including a custom-machined heat spreader blocker. There's also a fascinatingly complex PCB dedicated solely to provide a solid ground between the analog input connector — itself a work of electromechanical art — and the chassis ground.
The real gem of this whole build, though, is the vapor-phase reflow soldering technique [Marco] used. Rather than a more-typical infrared process, vapor-phase reflow uses a perfluropolyether (PFPE) solution with a well-defined boiling point. PCBs suspended above a bath of heated PFPE get bathed in inert vapors at a specific temperature. [Marco]'s somewhat janky setup worked almost perfectly — just a few tombstones and bridges to fix. It's a great technique to keep in mind for that special build.
The last [Marco Reps] video we featured was a teardown of a powerful fiber laser. It's good to see a metrology build like this one, though, and we have a feeling we'll be going over the details for a long time.

Accidentally producing hydrofluoric acid is not something that any sane person wants to deal with ever. If it does not kill you, it can still be bad.
(before clicking on this link be aware that you may be disturbed by the images) https://www.emsworld.com/article/173379/hydrofluoric-acid-what-you-need-know
Or just watch the first 5 minutes of this video which explains the dangers well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQnmP7UD_zk
Denis says:
In my my misspent youth I hung about with a lot of kids who were into grafitti. For a while there was a trend to fill a shoe polish applicator or paint pen with HF to tag glass. Man as a bit of a geek and knowing the dangers I couldn't shout loud enough about how stupid that was.. not only to the user but subsequent public/cleaners etc. It seemed to die out fast once folk realised . But still makes me uneasy.
Marian Keller says:
No worries on that front, as long as you don't create a pressure vessel, you can't overheat the PFPE. I won't be say there's absolutely no risk involved, but a Teflon-coated frying pan is a lot more dangerous.
I do agree that it would require all the liquid PFPE to fully boil so that it could then be heated up to 350°C (662°F) and decompose. But it is not like that is an impossible mode of failure.
A Teflon-coated pan is dangerous, but it requires that you heat the frying pan, up above 350 and optimally pour cold water on it (search for "Polymer fume fever").
It's not impossible to get it to decompose, but I doubt one could do it by accident. Like even if the hotplate went berserk and you somehow forgot you where trying to reflow a PCB in the last two minutes, the biggest health risk is going to be the smoldering epoxy of the PCB itself…
Barry Carter says:
That was a great watch. Love the humour too :) that was an impressive build. Well done. (You are braver than me messing with HF)
Technically if everything is operating within expected parameters, there should be no HF. There is the possibility of a fault causing the overheating PFPE above 350°C (662°F) and decomposing. If that happens then fluorine will break down most materials, leak as a gas because it's boiling point is −188.11 °C, (−306.60 °F), and instantly form HF with the natural water vapour in the air. Then you are messing with HF.

Astonishing work.

Marco's videos are my favorite electronics-related ones on the web. He's 1PPM. Top-notch German build quality and humor.
ID says:
If only that vapor reflow used a liquid with less risk, The idea of accidental HFl generation is enough to put me off. One bad hotplate away from a bad day.
I'm left speechless by the project though. He doesn't do anything by half measures.
Drone says:
OK he built it. So now, who's gonna calibrate it?
BrightBlueJim says:
He is. That's what the Fluke calibrator mentioned at 31:40 is for. At the top of every NIST-traceable calibration is a primary standard. This instrument is not that standard. So even though it's crazy precise, it's not enough. I think when you get that many digits, it's not about absolute accuracy, but repeatability and being able to compare two different measurements. But just the same, here's an article from NIST about a primary voltage standard with 1 ppb accuracy and no need to calibrate: https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2013/04/primary-voltage-standard-whole-world. Maybe they will release that as open-source hardware, so Marco can build that as well.
Apparently you can order one now….

Bart says:
Messing with RF and cryogenic superconductors together, what could possibly go wrong.
But joking aside, this thing will not reach 8.5 digits, period. There are certain inherent issues in this ADC topology which prevents it from reaching that uncertainty level on an absolute measurement. It's very good, but not *that* good. This measurement module is clearly a custom design for CERN's specific application – where it probably excels. I also doubt he went through the trouble of burning-in the circuit properly, etc. So the Fluke calibrator is plenty in this case, it's mostly annoying how this is called a 8.5 digit multimeter while in reality this is more akin to a 5.5/6.5 digit from Keysight or Keithley performance wise.
A.M.A. says:
Way cool. 1710 USD BOM is a bit spendy. 30 dollar ADC at the heart feels a bit weird.

FILM CREDITS
Teodor started studying classical piano at the age of fourteen. Eight years later his symphony orchestra piece 'Dreams' was performed at Berwaldhallen in Stockholm. At the age of 22, Teodor became the youngest student at The Royal Academy of Music to accomplish that.
Despite his young age, Teodor Wolgers is already a highly meritorious neo-classical composer.
His instrumental and often melancholic piano music has already amassed over 50 million streams on Spotify alone, and his most recent rework of Daniel Avery & Alessandro Cortini's 'Illusion of Time' was hailed as a "Cinematic and optimistic masterpiece" by Sian Eleri on BBC Radio 1.
In June 2021 Teodor released his debut album 'Distractions In A Capitalist World'; a highly ambitious concept album questioning the structures of, and the human condition under, modern day capitalism. The ideas revolving around how the ceaseless flood of distractions brought on by capitalism has the tendency to distract us from what's really important in life. The music on the album offers a place to rest, and an opportunity to distract oneself away from capitalism's unrealistic demands on self-realization.
To further illustrate this, he has turned to the Swedish Yale professor and academic superstar, Martin Hägglund, who's doing a reading from his international best seller This Life on one of the album tracks. Teodor also invites the American poet, Rena Priest, who's reading of her poem The Index serves as the album closer.
Released together with the album, is also a commentary track where Teodor reflects on the themes of the album, using metaphors from a late night walk in Stockholm to further explore the questions and thoughts that the album addresses.
Apart from his solo career, Teodor is also a producer and a song-writer; most recently having worked with artists such as Janice, lennix and Elias. In other words, there's much more than just neo-classical composing on Teodor's palette; he has written music for symphony orchestras, big bands and for his own pop project Wilder Gray, and been a backing musician for Duvchi and LÉON.
In 2019 Teodor released his first trilogy of EP's titled 'memories', 'sensations' and 'hopes', the latter widely exceeding his expectations reaching a stellar 20 million streams alone. Since then, he's signed a record deal with [PIAS] who's released his previous three EP's 'notion', 'nocturnes' and 'narratives', signed a booking agent deal with All Things Live and released a well-recieved rework of Kleerup's 'Lovers Table' (ft. AlunaGeorge).
His debut album 'Distractions In A Capitalist World' was released on June 11th 2021 via [PIAS] Nordic.

OH MY GOSH, you know how you think "oh, I've got this…no biggie" about certain things? Well, that is not where I am right now. I am stressing big time and can't believe there is only one week left to get done. It's crazy madness around here and I am going to be working until next Wednesday at midnight on this hall bath makeover, I can just feel it. Just in case you don't know, I'm participating in a six week One Room Challenge sponsored by Calling it Home and it's week five!!
So, once again I don't have too many pretty pictures to show you this week, but the good news is I did finish the tiling. Tiling a shower is work. I mean, I have never been so ready to be done with a project. But, I'm not going to show it to you yet…that'll have to wait for the big reveal next week. It turned out nice, though, so totally worth it (I think).
The other good thing that is done is I have a toilet. We needed this thing back before our Halloween party on Monday night, otherwise, our guests would have to go through bedrooms and nobody wants to see that right now. It's funny how much we use this bathroom and didn't realize it.
So, we have toilet, but no vanity yet, which means no sink. And without a sink, we had to put up this fun little sign.
And here is a little sneak peak of the vanity. Can you see where I'm going with this?
So, I've got a ton of work left to do to finish this hall bath makeover.
So much to do. CRAZY. Have you ever tackled a DIY bathroom renovation? I'd love to hear about it! See the full reveal HERE.
I am rooting for you April!!! I think tile and a toilet sounds like a huge accomplishment! I have never attempted a tiling project before.
Thanks Emily! It was awful, haha.
OOH! wILL YOU!? I HOPE YOU DO!
I hope you do! You can do this, girl!
Thanks Amy! Feeling better today!
I'm liking those dark walls…can't wait for the reveal!
Thanks Roxanne! Finally coming together (whew)!
You got this! This is crunch time, but it will all look amazing once done.
Thanks Emily! Feeling better today!
I have been living without a sink in my master bathroom for way too long. My husband laughs at me because I have to go to the other bathroom for the sink. Hopefully soon that will no longer be the case! Good luck with the finishing.
It's done! Thank goodness! Thanks Kati!

Q: Testing Django 1.5 apps with custom user Getting the error
CommandError: One or more models did not validate:
admin.logentry: 'user' has a relation with model su.SuUser, which has either not been installed or is abstract.`

when I run python manage.py test.
su is my user app, and app is where most of the work is done.
settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    "su",
    "app",
)
AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'su.SuUser'

su/models.py
class SuUser(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
    username = models.CharField(_('User name'), max_length=254, unique=True, db_index=True)
    ...

    class Meta:
        app_label = 'su'

app/tests.py
from django_nose import FastFixtureTestCase as TestCase

from nose.tools import assert_equals

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
from django.test.utils import override_settings

User = get_user_model()

@override_settings(AUTH_USER_MODEL='su.SuUser')
class TestApp(TestCase):
    ...

Any idea? syncdb works fine. Running the app works fine.
EDIT 1
Even if I try to skip the custom user such as
@skipIfCustomUser
class TestApp(TestCase):
    ...

still getting the same errors.

A: I found a fix, but it may be a symptom of a bug. Previously, my directory structure looked like this:
root/
    su/
        su/
            views.py
            models.py (held SuUser)
            urls.py
            wsgi.py
            ...
        app/
            views.py
            models.py
            urls.py
            tests.py

on a whim, I broke out the user part into it's own app
root/
    su/
        su/
            views.py
            models.py
            urls.py
            wsgi.py
            ...
        suuser/
            views.py
            models.py (holds SuUser)
            urls.py
            ...
        app/
            views.py
            models.py
            urls.py
            tests.py

This works. After debugging, I found that the su "app" was never getting loaded into the app_store (django/db/models/loading.py). I haven't traced it back to see why or where or if it's by design. Anyone know?

Leicester CCG seeking new mobility aid tender wants feedback on equipment
Contracts & tendersEquipment by Joe Peskett	on August 17, 2017
People living in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland who use specialist mobility and control equipment are being asked to share their views on the services that provide these items.
NHS commissioners are currently arranging new contracts for the service that provides wheelchairs, orthotics and prosthetics, as the current contract, held by Blatchford, expires in March next year.
The CCG and NHS England is asking what people think about manual and powered wheelchairs, specialist buggies, pressure relief cushions, orthotics devices and prosthetics.
"This is an opportunity to make the service the best that it can be," commented Sarah Prema, director of strategy and implementation at Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Group.
"Both children and adults use this equipment and we need to make sure the new contract has everything in it to deliver a service that really meets their needs. So we want to know what people think of the current service, what is important to them and what would make it better. We would also like to hear from other people, such as carers, who are interested in giving their views."
Blatchford is the CCG's current provider and specialises in prosthetics, orthotics, special seating and wheelchairs. It provides clinical services to the NHS and military in the UK and to private patients both in the UK and internationally. It also designs and manufactures the Endolite range of lower limb prostheses. W

Statins are cholesterol-lowering medications that are often prescribed for individuals with high cholesterol and who are at risk for heart disease. Preliminary research has shown that statins may have other effects on the body that are unrelated to the heart. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of statins on mood, mental processes, aggression, and serotonin levels.
Individuals at risk for coronary artery disease are often prescribed statins, which are medications that reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood. By lowering cholesterol levels, these individuals have a lower incidence of heart disease, heart attacks, and stroke. Simvastatin and pravastatin are two common statins that are often prescribed for individuals with high cholesterol. While statins are effective at lowering cholesterol levels, their effect on mood, behavior, and aggression has not been widely studied. Preliminary research has shown that lowering cholesterol levels may lead to an increase in aggressive behaviors and a change in cognitive function. Serotonin, a type of neurotransmitter, is believed to play an important role in the regulation of mood, as well as behavior and cognition. The direct effect of statins on serotonin levels remains unknown. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of simvastatin and pravastatin on mood, cognition, aggression, and serotonin levels.
This study will enroll individuals who do not currently take cholesterol-lowering medications. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive 20 mg of simvastatin, 40 mg of pravastatin, or placebo for 6 months. Study visits will occur at baseline and Months 1, 3, 6, and 8. Height, weight, and waist circumference will be measured at all study visits. Blood and urine will be collected for laboratory testing, and standardized psychological questionnaires will assess cognition, aggression, mental flexibility, memory, depression, sleep quality, and quality of life at Months 1, 6, and 8. At Month 3, medication side effects will be monitored and a liver function test will be performed. Participants' partners will take part in a telephone interview at this time. At baseline and Month 6, some participants will undergo cardiac reactivity testing. During this procedure, participants will be videotaped and monitored for vital sign changes (blood pressure and heart rate) while they talk about potentially stressful situations.
Participants will receive 20 mg of simvastatin for 6 months.
Participants will receive 40 mg of pravastatin for 6 months.
Participants will receive placebo for 6 months.

Q: Satisfying 2NF with two primary keys? I've designed complex databases (self-taught), but taking my first official database course in school; recently I've been assigned to design a database schema that is 2NF.
I've been working with a table formatted as follows:

Where STDNTNMBR must be unique for all entries AND SSN must be unique for all entries (not necessarily the combination of both). Essentially, both STDNTNMBR and SSN are both primary keys for the table.
At first glance, this table doesn't appear to be in 2NF because a non-prime attribute FIRSTNAME is partial dependent, because it can depend on STDNTNMBR or depend on SSN.
My question is: how can I convert this table into 2NF?
It wouldn't make sense to have another table that maps STDNTNMBR to SSN, such as:

This type of relationship would have to be one-to-one, where StudentSsn.SSN is the primary key, and the StudentSsn.STDNTNMBR is a foreign key to Student.STDNTNBMR.
Although this proposed solution isn't exactly clean, is it technically 2NF?
Or am I completely off-track?
Any help is much appreciated!

A: It does satisfy 2NF already.
FirstName cannot be partially dependent on the candidate keys, because both candidate keys (StndtNmbr and SSN) are only a single column each.


This week's prompt is about our parents. Originally I was just going to write this chapter myself answering the questions below (and I will get to those questions later!) - but then I decided to ask each of my parents about themselves, to find out a bit more about who they were before I knew them as "mom" and "dad".
They both sent me such amazing emails filled with details about their respective childhoods.
So as not to overwhelm anyone reading, and to keep the stories as clear as possible for when I print these posts into a book for my kids, I've decided to split this week's prompt up into three blog posts. The first, today's, will be my dad's story of his childhood. Tomorrow I'll share my mom's story, and on Friday I'll answer the questions below.
"Okay, time to tell me about YOU.
Where did you grow up, what was your childhood like? What were your favorite hobbies when you were growing up? What are they now? What did you do after you finished school? Did you ever imagine you would be where you are now?"
I was born on the day after what is now known as VE Day – Victory in Europe – the war was officially over. My Mum (Granny) was out celebrating in the streets VE night – dancing and drinking - along with everyone else in Britain. I was born the next day – coincidence…maybe?
We (Granny, Grampy and me) lived with my grandparents in a small 2-bedroom house in Cheltenham. My Gran was a cleaner at a local college, and my Grandad was a carpenter. The house had no electricity, no running hot water, an outside toilet and no bathroom! The streets were still lighted with gas lamps. Milk and coal was delivered by horse-drawn carts; no cars. Sounds Victorian but this was post-war Britain. Also rationing – needed for sugar (and candy – we called them sweets), meat, cigarettes, etc. I should also add that Uncle Pete and Aunt Joan (and later Scott) also lived in the same 2-bedroom house with us! Sounds crowded, and maybe it was, but it was also a very happy home. I went to primary school at around 4 years of age – it was only just down the road – and was there until age 11.
My dad and his cousin, Scott.
I can't remember who moved out first, but when I was about 5, Mum, dad and I moved into a council flat on a new estate about 3 miles away from my Gran's house. ("Council flat" = public housing in Britain. Post-war under the labour government, there was a huge building program to house all the returning troops and families and also to replace houses destroyed by the war.) Pete, Joan and Scott also moved into a council house in a different estate in Cheltenham. I lived in that flat until I was eleven, catching the bus to and from school. I can't quite remember, but Mum (Granny) worked in a greengrocer's (produce store) near my Gran's, and I think she used to take me to school on the back of her bike. But I know that from an early age (i.e. 6), I would catch the bus back home by myself!
We had no television until I was about 9 or 10 – the first TV I ever saw was the Queen's Coronation in 1953, which we watched at a friend's house. Our only entertainment was the radio, which we listened to every evening, plus frequent trips to the cinema (movies). As kids, we used to play outside in the streets all the time – totally unsupervised. In those days, there was no traffic to worry about and we used to wander all over the place, and get up to mischief! In the holidays and on Saturdays, my friend and I would catch a bus to Leckhampton Hill, and wander all around, or we would go to the large outdoor pool in Cheltenham and spend afternoons there. I also did the usual schoolboy stuff like trainspotting, stamp collecting, etc. I was also an avid reader of comics – all the British comics like the Beano, Dandy, Lion etc. Later I would get into the American Marvel and DC comics as they became available.
Dave was born when I was about 7, and I guess we were on a wait list for a house, which we eventually got when I was around 11. So, we moved into a council house in yet another new estate in Cheltenham. Dave and I shared a room until I moved and went to college at 18. Granny was still working at the greengrocer and my Dad by now was working as a machinist in an aircraft factory midway between Cheltenham and Gloucester, where he made parts for the hydraulics for the landing gear.
My dad with his parents and grandparents.
In Britain in those days, everyone took an exam at age 11 – it was called the "Eleven-Plus", and the result determined which school you went to next. I passed the exam and went to Cheltenham Grammar School, which was founded in the time of Henry VIII – i.e. back in the 1500s. It was an all-boys school of about 700. Today it is co-ed and still ranked in the top-3 schools in the country. We had tons of homework everyday, so was studying most evenings and much of the weekends, but in my free time I listened to music (this was the late 50s/early 60s, so was the emergence of Rock & Roll.) I was also a keen lepidopterist – i.e. collected butterflies and moths; out in the fields with a net, and also raised some from caterpillars and pupae. I also did a lot of sport representing the school, primarily rugby and track & field (long jump and 100 yd sprint). I was county champion one year in long jump and placed third in the SW of England!
When I was about 16 I joined a club called The Young Everyman with some of my school friends. This was associated with the Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham and we used to go in on Friday and Saturday to work backstage assisting the scene shifting etc. The Everyman was a thriving rep, and had a great permanent cast some of whom went on to long careers on British TV; it was fun to see them turn up in various roles in both sitcoms and drama over the years. We used to meet with them in the bar for drinks after the Friday performances. Great fun until I left for college.
In the UK then, and maybe still now, there were formal nationwide exams at age 16 and again at 18. Most kids left school at 15/16 to enter the workforce, with just a small percentage staying on to take Advanced Level (A-Level) exams. Your results at A-level determined if you could go to university. I did well in my A-levels, was accepted at Birmingham University in the Chemical Engineering department, and got a full scholarship from the County. So, I left in 1963 at age 18 to go to Birmingham, about 50 miles to the North of Cheltenham. This was just before the advent of motorways, and it seemed a long way, especially in the old car I had bought from my Dad.
I was at Birmingham for 6 years, leaving with a Master's degree in Chem Eng, which I never used!! I went straight into the newly emerging computer software industry, and never regretted my decision. I still remember sitting down one Saturday morning and writing applications to about 20 job adverts in the Sunday Times, and doing interviews and sitting aptitude tests. As luck would have it, I was offered a job from the second company for which I interviewed, and was given a job as a programmer in their Reading office; hence why you were born and lived in Reading! That company was one of the leading software companies in Europe.
You asked "Did you ever imagine you would be where you are now?". The short answer, of course, is NO. From the above, I was the son of a shop assistant and a factory worker living in public housing in a small English town. Now I am a retired from a well-known computer company living comfortably in a house valued at $2M+ in Silicon Valley in California; a place most English people of our era could only dream of visiting after seeing it in the movies and TV."

In 2012, Washington passed legislation directing the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to create a library of OER and promote awareness and adoption. Over the past five years, the K-12 OER Project has evolved in response to stakeholder needs, experiencing many successes and challenges to share with the OER community.
- Evaluating OER quality led to an OER Library reviewed using the same procedure as traditional materials and generated a cadre of teacher OER advocates.
- Grants to groups implementing OER provided legitimacy to the work and encouraged districts to look closely at OER options as viable choices.
- On the policy front, work with the Washington State School Directors' Association created model Instructional Material Adoption policy that recognized OER as an option for core instructional material consideration. In addition, OSPI adopted an agency wide Copyright and Open Licensing Policy that acts as a model for school districts.
- Many school boards struggle with the adoption of adaptable resources that could impact fidelity of implementation district wide.
- Addressing misconceptions about what OER is and is not remains an issue.
Washington has advocated district consideration of OER. This message has been amplified by a similar push from the U.S. Department of Education. Having a dedicated program at the state level is critical to provide ongoing guidance about the inclusion of OER as an important part of the instructional materials ecosystem. However, to scale the work partners and collaborators are needed at the district, state, and national level.
I lead the OER work at CCSSO. We serve state superintendents of K-12 education in the U.S. Talk to me about #GoOpen, the Learning Registry, K-12 OER education, and Federal and state policies.

I read an article recently that said that a motive in a murder mystery must be strong enough to justify a murder, that nobody would kill somebody for stealing their socks.
As it happens, I had just heard an excerpt from Shostakovitch's Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District, in which the precipitating motive for a murder is a woman's appropriation of another woman's stockings. Granted, this is in Siberia and the stockings are warm.
So I would have to add three words to the article's advice: The motive must be strong enough to justify a murder to the murderer.
This means that the setting must be specific enough to affect the motive. The characterizations must be strong enough and deep enough to rationalize extreme reaction. Relationships must be clear enough to urge a violent resolution.
Think of Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart." Is there a strong motive for murder? No, there's no motive for the murder -- except in the mind of the murderer.
If you're just starting out writing murder mysteries, you might do well to follow the simpler advice and choose an obviously powerful motive like money, fear of professional damage, love, or immediate self-defense.
But subtler motives are a lot more intriguing, if more difficult to put across.
She took your socks? Yeah, baby, she had it comin'!

As co-leader of DT, Wang will partner with Grant and Faber to develop and direct the strategic direction of the DT program in the emerging field of immuno-oncology and will serve on Massey's Executive Committee, helping to advance the cancer center's scientific objectives. He will focus on opportunities to cultivate the DT program's cancer-focused grant funding, foster translational cancer immunology research leading to new clinical trials, strengthen the DT program's membership, and facilitate transdisciplinary and synergistic collaborations among its members in the areas of cancer biology and immunology.
The DT program consists of basic science researchers and clinicians who help bridge Massey's basic and clinical research by exploring cancer therapeutics, including molecular-targeted therapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy; identifying molecular targets; assessing the molecular genetic profiles of tumors; and translating these findings into the development of novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of cancer.
"Shawn Wang has been a valuable addition to Massey's leadership team," said Robert Winn, M.D., director of VCU Massey Cancer Center. "His scientific contributions and leadership will strengthen our research endeavors in developing better cancer treatments."
"It's an honor to help lead a Massey Cancer Center research program," said Wang. "Immuno-oncology is a critical area of cancer research now and for the foreseeable future. I look forward to working with my program co-leaders and research members to advance Massey's discoveries into more effective cancer immunotherapies."
Wang has been a Massey Cancer Center member since he joined VCU in 2009 from Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York. A professor in the Department of Human and Molecular Genetics at the VCU School of Medicine, he holds the Mary Anderson Harrison Distinguished Professorship in Cancer Research at Massey. After obtaining a B.S. in biology and Ph.D. in molecular cell biology from Beijing Normal University in China, Wang completed his post-doctoral training in immunology and stress biology at Roswell Park Cancer Institute.
Wang's research is largely focused on understanding the mechanisms that define and govern antitumor immunity and the development of immunotherapeutic approaches for cancer. He investigates stress sensing/responding molecules, such as heat shock proteins and immune pattern recognition receptors (which are proteins capable of recognizing molecules frequently found in pathogens), and myeloid cells (which derive from stem cells in the bone marrow) in the regulation of inflammation and immunity as well as immunopathology in cancer and autoimmunity. He has a long-standing interest in translating his laboratory research to clinical trials. His research on chaperone-based cancer vaccination has resulted in a phase 1 trial in patients with metastatic melanoma. Also, his research on innate pattern recognition receptors led to the discovery of a previously unrecognized function of a protein, scavenger receptor A (SRA), in restricting the function of T cells that play a critical role in controlling and eradicating cancer cells. He and his research team are engineering and testing a therapeutic agent targeting the SRA for improved cancer immunotherapy.
Wang has published more than 140 articles and reviews in peer-reviewed scientific journals on topics in immunobiology, cancer immunology and therapeutics. He holds six patents for his scientific inventions, and his research is currently funded by multiple grants from the National Cancer Institute and U.S. Department of Defense.
In addition, Wang was previously awarded an American Cancer Society Scholar Award, Western New York Inventor of the Year Award, Charlotte Geyer Foundation Award and the Harrison Scholarship in Cancer Research at Massey. He is a member of the American Association for Cancer Research, The American Association of Immunologists and Cell Stress Society International.

Q: iPhone only app rejected for not running on iPad I received the following from Apple. I tried fixing the constraints for just iPad but I can get the scroll bar to come on top. How would I fix this? It is an iPhone only app. Thanks

From Apple
2. 4 PERFORMANCE: HARDWARE COMPATIBILITY
Performance - 2.4.1
We noticed that your app did not run at iPhone resolution when reviewed on iPad running iOS 10.2. Specifically, we were unable to register as the sign-up option was behind the amount section.
We've attached screenshot(s) for your reference.
Next Steps
Please revise your app to ensure it runs and displays properly at iPhone resolution on iPad.
Resources
For information on iOS device screen sizes and resolutions, please see the iOS Human Interface Guidelines as well as the Points versus Pixels in the View Programming Guide for iOS.
Additional Information
If you have difficulty reproducing a reported issue, please try testing the workflow described in Technical Q&A QA1764: How to reproduce bugs reported against App Store submissions.
If you have code-level questions after utilizing the above resources, you may wish to consult with Apple Developer Technical Support. When the DTS engineer follows up with you, please be ready to provide:
- complete details of your rejection issue(s)
- screenshots
- steps to reproduce the issue(s)
- symbolicated crash logs - if your issue results in a crash log

A: This is not an issue with supported devices - even if the iOS app is for iPhone only, it has to run on iPhone resolution on an iPad. This is the same sizing (or very, very close) as running on a iPhone 4 simulator, based on the screenshots.
Fix the constraints for iPhone 4 and it will be approved.

A: I got the same issue with my app which had the Deployment Info set to iPhone. Did they attach a screenshot with their response?
The issue with mine was that the constraints weren't set up properly. On smaller screen sizes (which the 1x setting on the iPad shows) my buttons were pushed together.
Check out your build on the simulator using an iPhone 5.

A: I had the same issue with my app.
My application was intended for iPhone and not for iPad, but the apple review team told me this:

It would be appropriate to revise your app to ensure that it runs on
  iPad at iPhone resolution.

My solution:
Optimize the user interface for iPhone 4
I hope it helps.

A: Supported minimum iOS version is not relevant! I got rejection with iPad (1X) screenshot. App supports min version 10!
The problem is your app supports "minimum iOS version=9". it means your app must support 1x (not only2x or 3x) . Probably Apple itc review team tests the apps on ipad mini with 1x screen for iphone 4 device testing.
just optimize UI for 1x (iphone 4/4s)

A: I had also same issues throw me by apple. i search and got it solution to give support iPhone4 . this will resolved the issues.
Update your view constraint and give support to iphone4 or Run the app in the ipad and give support.

A: Simple remove suffix _iphone.storyboard or _ipad.storyboard, just may use Main.storyboard will fix this appstore issue

To engage in the community and the workplace requires physical, mental, and social health and wellbeing. Health promotion is a crucial rehabilitation counselling function for the health and wellbeing of people living with chronic illness and disability (CID). This exploratory review seeks to examine theories and models of motivation applicable to health promotion interventions in rehabilitation counselling practice. Although no single theory can address all the potential variables affecting people with CID's health behaviours, Bandura's (1977) concept of self-efficacy and outcome expectancy appear to be the most common factors in the health promotion models we surveyed. Among theories of motivation, only self-determination theory specifically includes a motivation variable, autonomy (internal and external motivation). We developed a diagram to depict a model, including all the theories and models covered in this exploratory review and identify commonalities among their constructs. This diagram can be used by rehabilitation counsellors to apply theories and models of motivation in case conceptualisation, formulating clinical hypotheses, developing treatment plans, and selecting and implementing evidence-based health promotion interventions for their clients.

1. One Thanksgiving tradition I have is watching the Macy's parade.
2. Black Friday I sleep in and any shopping I do is online!
3. The best part about Thanksgiving Day is the family time. And my favorite part of the meal, the cranberry stuffing.
4. One Thanksgiving, Angel Tara slipped out of the house. A few days before the holiday I'd put my turkey in the garage to thaw and was bringing it back into the house on Thanksgiving morning. Tara was waiting at the door and snuck out. Thankfully I saw her, threw the 15 pound turkey in the door and grabbed her. My dad was at work in the kitchen and missed the whole thing. It was quite funny after I had my heart attack.
What a cool, sparkly picture! My human is with you on Black Friday - it's the one day she absolutely won't step in a store (except maybe CVS for dental floss or shampoo).
We love this sparkly version of you, Mudpie! So pretty! You're the best kind of star to wish upon, that's for sure. And we love the fill-in answers. Like you, the only kind of shopping I might do on Black Friday is online. And we also love family time on Thanksgiving, and the food! Purrs to you, Mudpie and Melissa!
We love #4 where you threw the 15 pound turkey in the door to catch escaping Tara! MOL! And Mudpie, we noticed you are looking extremely purple...!Love that effect.
Love the star effect, Mudpie. You ARE a star!
Mudpie, you've got stars in your eyes! That came out very pretty :) I am with you on the whole Black Friday thing: sleep in & shop online!
Dreams do come true, Mudpie.
Beautiful art Miss Mudpie Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. That must have been scary when Tara escaped, luckily you saw her right away. I am a glutton for punishment and always go out Black Friday although by 7 am all the crazies are back home :) Have a nice weekend!
Mudpie you are a star!
Whew we understand the heart attack you felt with Angel Tara got out the door! One time Angel Abby did that when the front door was cracked and I freaked out so bad I yelled at the top of my lungs at her and she went SPLAT all four feet on the ground in a crouching posture and I picked her up. She wasn't one to run off but I was so scared that I just nearly died right then and there. But that was the ONLY time she ever did that.
Oooh, you look like you've been sprinkled with star dust.
We love your art this week, Mudpie.
Super artwork. We love the Macy's parade too.
I really liked this photo !!!! It was very beautiful !!!!
That is beautiful art, Mudpie!
I love the Macy's parade. It is just so nostalgic.

Corning girls claim Class AA title with win over Elmira
Andrew Legare
alegare@stargazette.com | @SGAndrewLegare
Corning head coach Julie Pierce said after her team's sectional semifinal victory against Horseheads that she wasn't ready for this season to be over. Clearly, her players feel the same way.
After losing twice to Elmira during the regular season, the second-seeded Hawks posted a 3-1 victory over the Express on Friday night in the Section 4 Class AA girls soccer championship game at Waverly Memorial Stadium.
Audrey Howard broke a 1-1 tie with seven minutes, 17 seconds left in the first half and Logan Olmstead added an insurance goal with 25:29 left in the game to help the Hawks win their first Section 4 title since beating Elmira in overtime in the 2012 final.
"We worked together and we played as one with one heart and that's all we needed," said Corning senior Hailey Bicknell, who scored the game's first goal.
"It is the best feeling in the world. We compete with Elmira every single time. They're one of our biggest rivals. And to beat them, it just feels amazing. We worked so hard and all that hard work is paying off."
Top-seeded Elmira finished with an 11-4-1 record and came up short in its bid for a third consecutive sectional championship.
Corning (11-5) will play again Nov. 7 at Johnson City High School in a state quarterfinal against the winner of the regional semifinal between Section 9 champion Monroe-Woodbury and the Section 1 champion, which will be either John Jay-East Fishkill or North Rockland.
As her players let out a loud cheer in the background following the win, Pierce remarked on what a great sound that was to hear.
"They're a really, really, really good group of human beings," Pierce said of her team. "They're kind. They care about each other. I couldn't tell you any one player who shined because I thought they all did tonight. Everybody came out and did their job."
The Hawks lost 6-0 to Elmira in the teams' first regular-season meeting this year, then dropped a much closer rematch, 3-2.
Elmira had the better of play over the first 10 minutes of Friday's third meeting, but later in the half the Niagara University-bound Bicknell came up with the type of play that has defined her career. After the Elmira goalkeeper was unable to secure the ball, Bicknell tracked it down and circled away from trouble to get herself a clear look from about 25 yards out. She blasted home a shot into the upper right corner with 16:47 remaining in the first half.
The Express, playing for the first time since falling to Chenango Forks in the Southern Tier Athletic Conference semifinals on Oct. 17, drew even when Jalasia Demember chipped in a perfect cross from Kendra Oldroyd with 9:53 left in the half.
Howard continued the game's up-tempo pace with her goal less than three minutes later off an assist from Riley Olmstead.
"Tonight was a night where they not only executed what our game plan was, but they battled," Pierce said of her team. "They laid it all out there. What more can you ask from a group of high-schoolers. They played well. They were gritty. They played with their heart. It was hard with the crowd. A couple of times they got a little bit lost in that noise and at halftime we talked about drowning out the noise. And the only way to quiet somebody is to play well."
Logan Olmstead's hard blast into the upper left corner extended the advantage to 3-1. Elmira responded with quality scoring chances over the final 20 minutes but was denied each time.
"We said at halftime that we couldn't hunker," Pierce said. "I said, 'Girls, you can not sit on your heels.' Two years ago (in the sectional final) we had a 2-0 lead against Elmira at halftime and we lost 3-2. Four or five of those players are on this team and I said, 'Girls, you have to remember that moment because I sure haven't forgotten it.' They just looked around and a couple of girls said something. ... I felt like we went after that and got that third goal."

It has a been the epicentre of the guys performances for the last year and you most probably have heard it being championed by all from Steve Angello, Tiesto and AN21 & Max Vangeli. The luscious chords that build underneath the mesmerising vocal brings you to a release of synth riff heaven. Already building their signature sound rapidly, Third Party and Cicada deliver another quality addition to the Size Records repertoire.

The course provides students with an introduction to the topic of the ontology of time. Students will be introduced to key questions such as the relation between the A-series (present-past-future) and the B-series (before-after), the nature of the passage of time and of becoming.
The course begins with a review of the principal categories and theses employed in the ontology and metaphysics of time. It then considers in detail the arguments for and against some of the main views about time, including the claims that A-time is all in the head, that there is no change, that past and future exist, that the passage of time is an illusion.
The course consists of a series of lectures alternating with presentations given by students and general discussions. The students will be required to submit regular written work and produce a research paper at the end of the course.
