John Gall says being involved in Darvel's rise is like a dream come true.
The Irvine Valley club's chairman is loving being part of such an incredibly tight-knit community club – and he's never seen anything like it before.
He was delighted to see the smiles on everyone's faces as the West of Scotland League Premier Division side made history by reaching the last 32 of the Scottish Cup with a penalties win against Brechin City in a replay.
The first match was screened live on BBC Scotland with Darvel getting the job done on spot-kicks last week
Speaking to the Kilmarnock Standard, Gall said: "It is some achievement...we have came a long way the last few years, it's just like a dream.
"The messages of congratulations were incredible, they were coming from everywhere, all across the country.

"Everyone has been watching the story of this wee tiny club who are now in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup in their first year in it."
Gall continued: "It means so much to the area. It's unbelievable the amount of exposure that Darvel as a town is getting now.
"There has been a big social media push talking about tidying up the area due to the amount of people talking about the town.
"People are saying, 'who is Darvel and where is it?', across the country, so people in these Facebook groups are saying, 'oh, we are on the map!' So they are out making sure the town centre is clean and litter is picked up.

"Everyone in every shop, all they are talking about is Darvel, it's brilliant. It's great to be a part of it, I am genuinely humbled.
"The thing with this club is that there are so many skills on the committee, it's a real team effort.
Darvel fans and committee members on the road in Brechin for the Scottish Cup
"Whether it's media, organising skills or just people skills, everyone has something to bring.
"It's not the John Gall Show at this club, there is so many people, and that includes Michael Kennedy, the manager, and his staff. It just makes the club tick over all the time.
"It's the committee who are coming in changing lightbulbs, fixing heaters; they are keeping everything going.
"There's the washing room in the old dressing room now and I've got someone who washes all the strips – and what a job she does.
"It's the epitome of a community club, and the volunteers who have been helping has been massive.
"Everyone wants to come in and help us, just anything they can do, as little as cleaning seats in the stand before a game. They just want to help in any way they can."
Kilmarnock manager Tommy Wright sacked as Ayrshire side start new boss hunt
Gall revealed that disaster struck in their replay with Brechin – which was already called off three times due to weather before going ahead at the fourth attempt.
There was a power cut at the ground at half-time as punters were flocking to purchase their pies and drinks – but quick-thinking volunteers surrounded the pie hut with TORCHES in a bid to ensure there was no wasted food.
Gall said: "Our pie hut ran out of power and within five minutes everyone scrambled torches together.
"We managed to get the stuff sold as it was all still warm in the ovens, but the girls were serving in the dark and they did a brilliant job.
"That just sums it up, these are all volunteers, no one gets paid.
"The amount of goodwill gestures from people in the town is amazing, it takes us to a different level."

Ragamala Dance Company brings "Written in Water" to The Cowles Center The Cowles Center for Dance & The Performing Arts 528 Hennepin Avenue Minneapolis, MN 55403

MINNEAPOLIS – Following a successful debut in Tallahassee, Ragamala Dance Company is bringing its newest work, "Written in Water," to The Cowles Center for Dance & the Performing Arts. Developed over nearly
MINNEAPOLIS – Following a successful debut in Tallahassee, Ragamala Dance Company is bringing its newest work, "Written in Water," to The Cowles Center for Dance & the Performing Arts.
Developed over nearly four years, "Written in Water" is an exploration of the Indian board game "Paramapadam" – an early version of "Snakes and Ladders" – and the 12th century Sufi poem "The Conference of the Birds" – which details a journey through the seven valleys (or states of being) necessary to attain Enlightenment. Both the board game and the text reflect an intricate allegory of the way in which a universal paradigm – that of the seeker on a journey to overcome human failings and find ultimate truth – is experienced within these spiritual traditions.
"Paramapadam was originally invented to impart the consequences of human actions and reveal that some aspects of life are within our control and some are unpredictable," explained Ashwini Ramaswamy, Director of Marketing and Publicity for Ragamala Dance Company.
Large-scale projections of original paintings by Keshav – a Chennai-based visual artist – and Minneapolis artist Nathan Christopher on the stage and behind the dancers are woven throughout the choreography, as the dancers navigate the game and experience its emotional and philosophical consequences.
"Written in Water" is further punctuated with an original score by Amir ElSaffar – an Iraqi musician known for blending contemporary jazz trumpet and traditional Iraqi Maqam – and Prema Ramamurthy – an Indian composer specializing in traditional Carnatic compositions.
Ramaswamy added, "Each art form and artist was specifically chosen to enhance the work and strengthen the performance as a whole."
Of "Written in Water," The Tallahassee Democrat wrote, "The work's power and the company's artistry created a lexicon of sound, vision, and movement that allowed each audience member to project their own story onto the stage."
About Ragamala Dance Company
Under the direction of Ranee Ramaswamy and Aparna Ramaswamy, Ragamala's work explores the dynamic tension between the ancestral and the personal. As choreographers and performers, Ranee and Aparna create dance landscapes that dwell in opposition – secular and spiritual life, inner and outer worlds, human and natural concerns, rhythm and stillness – to find the transcendence that lies in between. As mother and daughter, each brings her generational experience to the work—the rich traditions, deep philosophical roots and ancestral wisdom of India meeting and merging with the curiosity, openness and creative freedom fostered in the United States.
Now in its 24th season, Ragamala has been hailed by The New York Times as, "soulful, imaginative and rhythmically contagious," "[Ragamala] showed how Indian forms can provide some of the most transcendent experiences that dance has to offer." The company has been featured at the American Dance Festival (North Carolina), Lincoln Center (New York), Kennedy Center (Washington, D.C.), Music Center of Los Angeles (California), Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art (Illinois), International Festival of Arts & Ideas (Connecticut), University Musical Society (Michigan), Just Festival (Edinburgh, United Kingdom), Bali Arts Festival (Indonesia), Sri Krishna Gana Sabha (Chennai, India), and National Centre for Performing Arts (Mumbai, India).

The Cowles Center for Dance & the Performing Arts serves as the Twin Cities' flagship for dance, presenting 20+ productions each season in its historic Shubert Theatre in the heart of Downtown Minneapolis. Furthermore, the Center's campus includes three performance spaces, education studios, and administrative offices for more than 20 arts and nonprofit organizations – making it a dynamic and vibrant hub for the Twin Cities' performing arts community and a place where dance can grow and thrive.

Hola Review
This Review is focused primarily on Hola's free plan, since regarding the Premium service as superior would be downright false, potentially damaging to your wallet, or far worse, for reasons explored in further detail below.
Simultaneous connections
ProPrivacy.com SpeedTest (average)
Visit Hola
Alternative Choices for You
ProPrivacy.com Score 9.6 out of 10
Simultaneous connections 10
Server locations 50
Number of countries 40
Total servers 1000
Our previous coverage found that Hola isn't too different in principle to a Ponzi scheme, in that each user's bandwidth, in addition to (possibly, but not ever conclusively) data is being leveraged to monetize the entire service for those at the top. Hola previously defended its business model, claiming to have been forthright about sharing user bandwidth and turning each user into an exit node, in a similar vein to where each user functions just like a Tor exit relay. However, this is something we at ProPrivacy and the EFF staunchly advise against as you could be held liable for any malicious, illegal, or otherwise unsavory traffic passing through your connection.
Hola is based in Israel and has an IP count in the millions with a large subscriber base, including those who signup to the Luminati Business proxy (another scam-brick in the wall). If nothing thus far has scared you off, take a peek at some blatantly disingenuous advertising after the jump, or keep reading for further analysis of Hola and some recommendations for decent alternative providers.
Visit Hola »
Speed and Performance
You'd normally see two images depicting speed test results stacked one above the other, right below this paragraph. Well, it felt a bit silly to throw speed test results for my ISP (seeing as how those tests bear no relevance to Hola's speed) in this review, but I average roughly 30-34 Mbps download speed against UK servers and in the 10-15 Mbps downstream when tested against US New York test servers on a 30 Mbps baseline, on average.
Using Hola brought forth no noticeable differences when either informally browsing or streaming, or when running tests, but that's not the most disconcerting issue. It's altogether disheartening to see results always returned with the testing location, and not the server I should be connected to according to my selection in the Hola extension.
Leak tests
ProPrivacy.com SpeedTest (average) 31
ProPrivacy.com SpeedTest (max/burst) 50
Compare Hola's DNS leak protection to the dams and dykes keeping Holland from flooding with me (seen being pole-jumped above), for a moment. Good, now imagine a bizarro-world with the Netherlands underwater, meaning the dams either broke under the pressure from rising water levels and were swept away - or were somehow never there - and that's the level of anonymity Hola gives you. Zilch.
Feel free to check ipleak.net for most DNS leaks, and the WebRTC Bug. Test-ipv6.com will show you wide open IPv6 leaks, and our leak testing tool is a bit of both tests, should a bout of privacy-masochism hit you. Jokes aside, it's always good practice to check for leaks from time to time to make sure you aren't caught unaware while believing yourself to be under a VPNs' protection.
$7.69 $92.26 billed annually
$2.99 $107.55 billed every 3 years.
Hola is entirely free, but how? By using your device - once the software's installed - as an endpoint in a connection chain, a function normally taken care of by your VPN provider. If you choose to opt out, you may purchase a premium Luminati subscription, which we would strongly recommend against based on issues found in the free version. Don't be fooled by the innocuous freemium model.
While it can be used for free there is a Premium subscription plan that claims not to use you as a peer on the network (although there's a fair amount of evidence to believe it still does, and certainly did in the past). Then there's the dual common sense and ethical consideration of using other peoples' freely given bandwidth while allowing yourself to be profited from at very little if any, tangible benefit to you. Not to mention you'd be under risks Hola won't take on as they'd be more costly and involve setting up, securing, and running servers.
In this case, the old adage "Who would buy a cow if the milk flows freely?" readily comes to mind.
Hola's website is well-designed and gives out no more than the minimum information. Links are easy to follow, and there isn't a wall of them to click through when looking for information.
If you are looking to use a VPN on mobile, they offer a VPN app for Android and iOS devices. Both the Android and iPhone VPN apps are avialble in their app stores and are very easy to use. They also offer support for computers with a VPN for Windows, Mac and Linux users. The Mac VPN client is similar to the Windows version. They do not offfer a full Linux VPN client, however, users can use it as a browser addon on firefox, chrome and Opera.
Money-back guarantee length 30
Unfortunately, Hola's supports get low marks. This mainly results from unresponsiveness. Several emails sent using an unrelated account with no mention of my affiliation to ProPrivacy went unanswered for five days, as of this writing. I can only wonder as to why Hola's design or sales teams haven't responded to my queries about the service. As there isn't a LiveChat or ticket-based support option, you'll have to make due with a pretty sparsely populated FAQ section. That, or praying someone eventually replies to your messages.
Hola's blog has some interesting insights on how revenue is derived and monetized from goods or services online, among other relevant and interesting news from the privacy industry. The problem is, the post below starts off meaning well with a solid premise, only to let you down by neglecting to fully cover the ramifications of indiscriminately allowing your bandwidth to serve as a bridge for traffic from all over the internet. It isn't AirBnB so much as inviting anyone to squat on your data stream for free (or, better yet, pay Hola for the privilege to do so. No thanks!).
Below is the latest post on Hola's Facebook, with the Netflix complaint running theme in response to the Hola Social Media Team's posting of a 'work&play balance' image every couple of days. There aren't currently any replies from Hola on Facebook, which is curious, to say the least.
A post from earlier in May summed up the mood of Hola users in recent times, which shows that plenty of people are still using the service unaware or in flippant disregard of general self-preservation online.
"I don't care if you guys are employing God himself, just fix the damn Netflix blocking."
Registration is simple for the free plan. Just enter an email address and download the relevant client or extension for your device or platform. Remember, paying for a subscription doesn't de-anonymize you in any way, you're still a peer.
The Hola Windows VPN client (Chromium)
Hola's Windows VPN is a modified version of Google Chrome, with three Hola plugins. The main one is Hola's flaming head logo on the upper-right-hand side of the page, just below the close window button. Clicking it opens up a fairly standard yet workable UI, with server selection front and center, and settings tabs in the dropdown menu accessed through the three horizontal lines in the top right. The Hola VPN app looked and felt right, but fell short in testing, as the next section will show in a bit more detail.
On a brighter note, Hola also packages a fairly decent ad-blocker (which looks like it's based on other popular ad-blockers), and a video accelerator which had no tangible effect on my streaming speeds. The history in the Hola browser was more disconcerting, though, as you can see it logs the files I opened internally on my computer, completely unrelated to my internet connection in any way. Notice the Skype call with 'apps.skype.com' on the tail end. Creepy and unnecessary logging is unsettling under any scenario. In this particular case, it's at least consistent with the cloud of suspicion surrounding Hola.
It's tough to fault Hola for being one-dimensional regarding the devices or platforms you can choose from. The only major player missing is the Opera browser. There isn't a simultaneous connection limit because, hey, more bandwidth equals profit for Hola.
On the same note, folks on a quick trip, or those who need to download a file in a pinch might weigh the pros and cons and use Hola. It may be a better option than nothing at all, if you have zero sensitive material on the device in question and no concern for privacy in the short-to-medium term.
Other/Free Services
Hola also provides a paid video CDN, if you trust Hola to host your content for some odd reason or other.
Kill-switch
Obfuscation (stealth)
WebRTC leak protection
Bare-metal servers?
Self-hosted DNS
P2P filesharing is a no-brainer, as the backbone of Hola's service is based on P2P architecture. It's unclear if Hola is monetizing your data in any way, though speculation to that effect wouldn't be exactly unwarranted. However, it's plain to see that usage and connection logs are kept, even if the last sentence mentioning' aggregated' data is meant to throw you off - it's simply false. Unique IP address, times, dates, and click-trails we all leave when browsing online are exactly the reason folks like us go for VPN technology in the first place. Otherwise, why use one?
Encryption Protocols
L2TP/IPSec
SSTP
That being said, Hola is superb for unblocking while rowing around on a bloody river of your long-dead and buried privacy. There isn't any information as to what types of encryption are used (if any), but the heavy IP leaks that came up during testing would basically invalidate encryption anyway.
Any thoughtful security plan rests on the idea of a so-called weakest link, wherein a backdoor compromises the entire security plan. Well, encryption is usually among the strongest points of your VPN connection - the gate to the castle, if you will. One IP leak is like a hidden passage, and multiple leaks render any conceptions of security and privacy moot to the point of being laughable.
You'd be well within the confines of basic logic and reason to find any outright recommendation of Hola as a worthwhile VPN service with healthy skepticism. With little to no encryption, IP masking, or concern for those, and proven dishonest practices ranging from partial truths to outright non-disclosure, Hola should only be considered in the most dire streaming-junkie's hour of need. Otherwise, take a look at our Top VPN Services, or Ultimate Privacy Guide to see what constitutes a worthy VPN service.

Winter in Nyon is depressing. It took me until just recently to wrap my head around why we are all cranky and depressed by the time February rolls around. For two years in a row, we have hit that month and spent the whole time talking about how much we hate it here and want to leave – often with no good reason. Well, some good reasons, but mostly no good reasons. Now that it's summer, it's easier for me to look back on things from my state of happy, sunny days and realise the problem was the weather, not us, obviously.
In Ottawa, the winter is long and cold. But it's bright – even the short days are offset by at least one or two days of full blue sky, shining sun, and sparkling snowfields. Heck, the nights aren't even what I would call 'dark', since the snow keeps the light even through the evening.
In Indonesia, the equal 12h-12h days on the equator do seem shorter, and we always missed the evening light. But there was a regularity to the schedule that kept us on track, with lots of sun in the morning to keep us going even through weeks of dark, rainy evenings.
Somehow it's the worst of both worlds here. We get the short days AND we get the dark, rainy evenings (and mornings), and then the fog rolls in. And that's it. Weeks and weeks of misty skies, barely-there sun, and depressing dampness. It's dark when you get up, dark when you get home.
This year was slightly better since we got about two weeks of snow to break up the monotony of grey. We tried to make the most of it, although not being skiiers and having a fussy sportscar that can't drive into the mountains put a cramp in those plans. We built snowmen, buried into the snow like wolves, went for walks in the winter wonderland fields, and even managed one nice trip into the hills for a sledding trip with friends.
Moral of story – please set an alarm to remind us about this post in about 6 months. So maybe we can make it through the next winter without as much agonizing depression!

Government Code Section 12956.2 - Restrictive Covenant Modification
(a) A person who holds an ownership interest of record in property that the person believes is the subject of an unlawfully restrictive covenant in violation of subdivision (l) of Section 12955 may record a document titled Restrictive Covenant Modification. The county recorder may choose to waive the fee prescribed for recording and indexing instruments pursuant to Section 27361 in the case of the modification document provided for in this section. The modification document shall include a complete copy of the original document containing the unlawfully restrictive language with the unlawfully restrictive language stricken.
(b) Before recording the modification document, the county recorder shall submit the modification document and the original document to the county counsel who shall determine whether the original document contains an unlawful restriction based on race, color, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, familial status, marital status, disability, national origin, source of income as defined in subdivision (p) of Section 12955, or ancestry. The county counsel shall return the documents and inform the county recorder of its determination. The county recorder shall refuse to record the modification document if the county counsel finds that the original document does not contain an unlawful restriction as specified in this paragraph.
(c) The modification document shall be indexed in the same manner as the original document being modified. It shall contain a recording reference to the original document in the form of a book and page or instrument number, and date of the recording.
(d) Subject to covenants, conditions, and restrictions that were recorded after the recording of the original document that contains the unlawfully restrictive language and subject to covenants, conditions, and restrictions that will be recorded after the Restrictive Covenant Modification, the restrictions in the Restrictive Covenant Modification, once recorded, are the only restrictions having effect on the property. The effective date of the terms and conditions of the modification document shall be the same as the effective date of the original document.
(e) The county recorder shall make available to the public Restrictive Covenant Modification forms.
(f) If the holder of an ownership interest of record in property causes to be recorded a modified document pursuant to this section that contains modifications not authorized by this section, the county recorder shall not incur liability for recording the document. The liability that may result from the unauthorized recordation is the sole responsibility of the holder of the ownership interest of record who caused the modified recordation.
(g) This section does not apply to persons holding an ownership interest in property that is part of a common interest development as defined in Section 4100 or 6534of the Civil Code if the board of directors of that common interest development is subject to the requirements of subdivision (b) of Section 4225 or of subdivision (b) of Section 6606 of the Civil Code.

WWF's newly released Living Planet Report makes for harrowing reading, showing a 60% fall in wildlife population over the past 40 years as habitats have been destroyed by exploding human consumption of resources.
The report comes after last month's bombshell UN climate report, which warned that urgent action is needed to keep global warming to a maximum of 1.50C, or life on Earth will become increasingly dangerous for hundreds of millions of people.
At the same time, 40 scientists from five countries warned that halting deforestation was as important as eliminating fossil fuels in avoiding runaway climate change. They said the world would achieve 18% of the emissions mitigation needed by 2030 by protecting and restoring forests.
In 2010 hundreds of companies made ambitious commitments to end deforestation in the commodities that are the biggest contributors to tropical forest loss: soy, beef, palm oil, and timber by 2020.
In the first article in our timely briefing on deforestation we look at how those commitments, which centred mainly on sourcing certified palm oil, lie in tatters, and the radical new approaches that are now being discussed as companies try to get to grips with deforestation risk in their supply chains after a lost decade of inadequate action.
Mark Hillsdon assesses the success of corporate efforts to put a halt to galloping deforestation from soy in Brazil's Cerrado, one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, which is already 60% under the plough.
Eric Marx, meanwhile, looks at how mass tree-planting efforts and the Cocoa & Forests Initiative in Ghana and Côte D'Ivoire are trying to stop rampant deforestation in Africa, and Angeli Mehta profiles three companies that are innovating to meet the booming demand for tree restoration projects.
Giles Grosse looks at fresh UN efforts to overcome the barriers that have prevented a plethora of satellite surveillance to turn the tide on deforestation.
Finally, Eduardo Tugendhat, director of thought leadership at impact consultancy Palladium Group, explains why he believes deforestation-free cocoa and palm have been so elusive.
Our second briefing is on how the healthcare industry is stepping up its efforts to address the Sustainable Development Goals.
Michael Levitin reports on how the health sector in the US is taking steps to reduce its environmental impacts and help cities become more resilient to climate change.
Mark Hillsdon reports on how pharmaceutical companies are working to fulfil SDG3, by bringing access to healthcare to all. He looks at how Gavi, the innovative public-private partnership struck in 2001 to meet the Millennium Development Goals, is now innovating to raise stalled vaccination rates. And he reports on how pharma companies are trying to overcome a dearth of community health workers that is confounding efforts to combat the spread of non-communicable disease in Africa.

White House issues memo requiring staff to wear masks in West Wing
The White House is requiring all staffers to wear masks or facial coverings when entering the West Wing of the building, NBC News reported Monday, citing two sources familiar with the matter.
The new precaution comes days after two staffers close to President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence tested positive for the coronavirus.
Trump and Pence have both resisted wearing masks in public or at the White House.
White House advisor Jared Kushner (C) and others wear face masks while attending a press briefing about coronavirus testing in the Rose Garden of the White House on May 11, 2020 in Washington, DC.
The directive from the White House management office was laid out in a memo to staffers Monday afternoon, NBC reported. The White House said it will make masks available for employees who need them, according to NBC.
The memo also asked staff members to avoid visiting the West Wing, where the Oval Office is located, unless it is necessary, the sources told NBC.
Trump and Pence have both resisted wearing masks in public or at the White House. Trump did not wear a mask last week while touring a Honeywell factory in Phoenix, Arizona, that was producing N95 masks. A White House official said at the time that Honeywell had told the White House that Trump and other visitors did not need to wear masks.
When asked Friday at a roundtable event with Republican members of Congress why White House staffers were not seen wearing masks by the reporters stationed at the building, Trump said, "They are … the people that are serving me are."
Pence was criticized for refusing to wear a mask during an April 28 visit to the Mayo Clinic. The vice president did wear a mask two days later, during a visit to a General Motors plant in Indiana.
The Centers for Disease Control, a division of the Trump administration's Health and Human Services Department, in early April updated its guidance to recommend "wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain."
Trump, who first announced that update, said at the time, "I don't think I'm going to be doing it."
On Thursday, a personal valet for the president, who assisted the president with his food, clothes and other personal needs, tested positive for the coronavirus. A White House spokesman said later that day that Trump and Pence had since tested negative.
On Friday, Pence's press secretary, Katie Miller, who is married to senior Trump advisor Stephen Miller, also tested positive.
Katie Miller said she was asymptomatic and that she tested negative a day before testing positive Friday, NBC reported.
Trump's physician and White House staff "continue to work closely to ensure every precaution is taken to keep the President, First Family and the entire White House Complex safe and healthy at all times," White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement later Friday.
Deere said the White House was taking steps to prevent transmission of the disease in the building, including daily temperature checks, making hand sanitizer available and regularly deep-cleaning work spaces."
Trump and Pence also said that they would be tested for Covid-19 daily, as would every staff member and guest in proximity to them.

This survey asks about the types of student positions, hours of work, work schedules, and your industry sector. The survey focuses on students in the Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP), pre-RAP opportunities, dual credit programs, and health internships connected with CAREERS: The Next Generation. This survey is anonymous.
The survey is being conducted by CAREERS: The Next Generation Foundation whose mission is to enable youth on their path to rewarding careers. We do this by working with employers to open opportunities for high school students to earn while they learn as a part of building a talent pool of future skilled workers.

* 1. What industry sector is your organization represented by?
* 2. CAREERS Intern Pathways are listed below. Have high school students at your work site been part of any of these high school programs?
If your company has not employed a high school student in one of these CAREERS Intern Pathways, we thank you for your participation in the survey. You can now skip to the end of the survey and click done.
* 3. We recognize that your organization may not have a CAREERS student intern working at your site at this time. Please answer the remaining questions based on the last time there was a CAREERS intern pathway student working at your site.
* 4. What occupations / roles have CAREERS intern pathways students had in your organization?
* 5. Are you aware that Alberta Education covers the WCB for students in high school work programs such as those listed above.
* 6. In what region of the province is your work? If the Intern(s) work in multiple regions, select all that apply.
* 7. Typically how many hours per day would Interns work at your site from September to June?
* 8. Typically how many hours per day would Interns work at your site from July to August?
* 9. When would Interns typically start work? Select all that apply.
* 10. When would Interns typically end their work day? Select all that apply.
How often would an Intern work Overtime Hours?
* 11. Have Interns worked shift-work at your work site?
* 12. If the Intern or Interns are on shift, what shifts are common for them?
* 13. Are there provisions for transportation for CAREERS Interns to the work site?
* 14. If yes, then what transportation provision have the Interns used?
* 15. On average over the last 3 years, what number of CAREERS program high school students work at your site at one time?
* 16. What concerns does your company have if the Off Campus Handbook Guidelines are changed to an 8 hour per day limit for off campus program students? In the proposed change hours worked beyond 8 would not be considered part of an off campus program.
Thank you for your participation in this survey! And thank you for providing opportunities for Albertan youth to earn while they learn.
Survey results will be posted on our website after July 1, 2016.

After the 1960 earth quake, the city was rebuilt anew. Now it's a hospitable tourist paradise.
Agadir is an interesting and intriguing Moroccan city: on the one hand, it's the largest resort of the country, a modern city with a well-developed tourist industry, services and educational facilities; on the other hand, it's the last large, civilized city before the vast Saharan Desert that stretches all the way to the coast of West Africa. The feeling that you're in a city with only a handful of small towns beyond its limits and a single, thousand-kilometre-long road through the desert, is guaranteed to give your vacation in Agadir some extra flavour.
The tall Atlas Mountains protect the resort from the scorching Saharan heat. During summer, Agadir is cooled by the Canary Current, and in the winter it's warmed by the Sahara. The summer here is usually marked by a 27- to 30-degree ambient temperature and roughly 21- to 24-degree water. Even during autumn (October to November) the average air temperature here is around 24 degrees and water - about 18 degrees. Agadir's warm, soft climate and 300 sunny days per year attract many tourists each year.
Photo taken by 123rf.com. Agadir beach full of tourists
The resort, situated near the Atlantic Ocean, at the southern base of the Atlas Mountains, is surrounded by eucalyptus trees, pine groves and a wonderfully clear, calm and refreshing ocean.
The small fishing village of Agadir came to be known to history in 1505 when Portuguese sailors built a fortress here. Later, the village became a trade centre, with merchants coming in from France, Italy and Portugal. It was a centre of spice, date and gold trade.

On the 29th of February 1960, the city was hit by a strong earthquake which killed around 15,000 people, destroyed the ancient fortress Kasbah and most other buildings. After this terrible event, the city was completely rebuilt. Agadir is famous for its sugar canes, dates, vegetables, exotic fruit trees, preserved fish and non-ferrous metal industries.
The beach of Agadir stretches for about 10 km. The most famous beaches here are as follow: Dakhla, Grottes d'Hercules, Asfiha, El Jadida, Lalla Fatma, Larache and Tangier. They are all characterized by spaciousness and romantic tranquillity. These beaches are also excellent for surfing.

Make sure to visit the Bird Valley where you'll find huge colonies of flamingos. Tourists are also impressed by Agadir's Thalassotherapy Centre and its many different procedures.
Agadir is considered to be the most beautiful and hospitable resort in Morocco. Here you'll find all of pleasures of the Orient: smoking hookah, riding camels and horses, sea fishing, playing golf and tennis on excellent fields, and sailing on catamarans.
The city also has a few night clubs and discos which often host various festivals, music concerts and other events. The small coastal shops attract customers not just by always keeping the doors open, but also with their interesting architecture.
Photo taken by 123rf.com. Agadir harbour
Snacks in Agadir are very easy to find – the locals will be glad to offer you both traditional and foreign dishes. There are many cafés and stalls around mosques built specifically for tourists, and the Morocco Fish Market can be found on the seaside.
Carefully maintained roads connect the city to Casablanca and Marrakesh, but if you're after an even more exotic experience, we recommend you head to the desert and other little towns and oases of Southern Morocco.

Breck Park Stadium was a greyhound racing stadium in Liverpool.

Origins
Breck Park would become the first of four greyhound stadiums in the city of Liverpool; the others were White City Greyhound Stadium, Stanley Greyhound Stadium and Seaforth Greyhound Stadium.

In 1927 the site chosen to construct Breck Park was on the south side of Townsend Road on unused ground and a former site of a brick works adjacent to a goods yard and the Edge Hill and Bootle branch railway line. To the north there was a football ground and housing and to the south was a Corporation yard.

The Liverpool Greyhound Club Ltd (LGC) was one of the first greyhound racing companies in existence and was a rival to the larger Greyhound Racing Association (GRA). A bitter battle took place during 1927 when the (LGC) and the Leeds Greyhound Association Ltd (LGA) owners of the Elland Road Greyhound Stadium took the GRA to court for false advertising. The public claim by the GRA was that they had sole rights of greyhounds chasing electric hares and this upset other companies because it implied that they were the only company allowed to race greyhounds.

Opening
The first meeting at Breck Park got underway on 23 April 1927 and attracted 8,000 spectators. The GRA opened Stanley Greyhound Stadium on Prescot Road just four months later.

History

The dangers of early racing were evident when during a meeting in September 1927 the electric hare ran off the rails and broke through the railings
scattering spectators in the shilling ring. Affiliation to a governing body came in the form of the British Greyhound Tracks Control Society (BGTCS); this organisation was much smaller than the National Greyhound Racing Society (NGRS).

Despite stiff competition all four Liverpool tracks made good profits, based on the fact that there was a large population with many keen on the racing. In 1932 the track faced a one-week closure after the authorities took the track owners to court over the use of the totalisator. Also in 1932 Breck Park switched allegiance from the BGTCS to NGRS becoming the only Liverpool track with affiliation to the NGRS at the time.

Breck Park became a popular venue for boxing and held many high-profile bouts being promoted alongside the greyhound racing.

Bomb damage
The track suffered bomb damage during the Second World War as many parts of Liverpool did at the time but contrary to some reports the closure of the track was not attributed to this damage because business was good after the war. In 1946 the totalisator turnover was £836,354 and one year later £624,157.

Closure
The stadium suffered a serious fire on 26 February 1948, the same day that another unrelated serious fire ripped through White City, Manchester. Whereas the Manchester track recovered Breck Park did not; the wooden buildings had been destroyed resulting in the immediate suspension of racing at the track. The owners considered the rebuild cost unviable.

It is possible that racing either returned for a very short period of time after 1948 or that there were plans to restart the racing at some stage based on the fact that in March 1950 all four Liverpool tracks (including Breck Park) resigned from their NGRC affiliation. The stadium was demolished and renamed Edinburgh Park in 1953, the track would have been located where the Edinburgh Park Dockers Club and Waterloo Dock FC football pitches meet Darmonds Green Avenue.

Will we enter in? Do we want to?
O Lord , who shall sojourn in your tent?
And can't we agree that we know what is right from what is wrong? Can't we agree that we have the opportunity to make choices each day between doing right or doing wrong?
And deciding to do right instead of deciding to do wrong has a name in scripture, and it is called repentance. It is a step that is taken in a new direction, it is a turning away from our old path as we decide to turn to a life seeking the Lord's purpose and direction for our lives.
Yes, our deciding to change direction is the beginning of our journey and not the end. Because if repentance under our own power was out goal – if fighting against these old urges to keep them under control and in compliance with the law was all that we had to rely on, wouldn't everyone turn back from the burdensome curse of the law?
And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking in tongues and prophesying. There were about twelve men in all.
We can see that there is more than just repentance. We can see that there is more than just putting on an outward mask of compliance while wrestling to keep our carnal nature hidden under the wraps of religious exercise. That is not a place of peace, but one of fear, because how could those living that way "speak the truth from their hearts" while still meeting all of the other descriptions of a believer?
You see, it takes a divine intervention, not just our own turning in repentance.
Yes, it requires or repentance AS WELL, so please do not misunderstand me to be justifying grace as a license to sin. I expect that some itchy ears will seek out the false teacher they desire if that is the message they seek. But I pray that you would instead remain to hear the truth (even if it proves uncomfortable and convicting) that I share with you from the Word of God rightly divided and Holy Spirit led.
There is a point at which repentance shifts from striving against our old nature into a life of praise and worship to God for what He has done and is doing in our lives. That shift comes when we are made a new creation through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
And I encourage you not to get hung up on which spiritual gifts you have and which you do not, whether you speak in tongues or you do not, whether you prophesy or you do not, whether the Holy Spirit fell on you like Paul on the Damascus Road, or whether you received it from the laying on of hands like these disciples at Ephesus, or whether you were born with it and grew in it like John the Baptist – because we each are different parts of the body of Christ with our own callings, seasons, and purposes. But I do encourage you to test yourself to see whether or not you are walking in the Spirit and living the life of one "who may dwell in" His sanctuary, "who may live on" His holy mountain.
We have much to celebrate, child of God! We have such a great reason to celebrate in praise and worship over what the Lord has done for us!
I'm learning that guilt is a corruption of conviction and a trap of the enemy. Yes, I've known this intellectually, but I'm beginning to understand it in my heart. You see, guilt is dwelling on past things that we cannot change, just like anxiety is dwelling on the future that we cannot yet affect. Guilt and shame paralyze us and bring no honor or glory to God. They are perversions of God's wonderful gift of conviction.
4) Believe. Know that He will overcome.
Conviction is an opportunity for transformation now, in our hearts. It moves us forward, it presses us on toward our goal. Conviction leads to prayer, to communication and a drawing into the presence of God in that humble position before God that allows us to worship God and receive His grace and mercy fresh and new.
And His grace poured out upon these old bones, as our hearts cry out to Him, "Great are you, Lord!" What a blessing is this conviction that leads us to praise our Lord and rely upon Him as our comforter, as our protector, as our Savior, and as our Lord.
So I encourage you, friend, do not run from conviction – for it is the light that shines down and offers us the blessing of His touch. Do not fear the light revealing your imperfections, because His refining fires will burn away the imperfections, His blood will wash over the wounds and heal and restore you. Stand with confidence in His presence, friend. Not because you are worthy or proud, but because He is worthy and His promises are true, and He will forgive you. He will restore you. He will redeem you and deliver you.
Let Him make you brave, friend. Know that He is for you and not against you, friend. Even as the waves crash against us, He is our rock and our foundation, and He will not be overcome.
Receive everything that you need to walk in the path that He has set before you. Walk in His will and see the enemy conquered and defeated and see His hand upon the lives around you as you learn to love and serve, as you grow to be more like your teacher, as you accept the imprint of Christ who lives in you upon your life choices and actions.
Live, bride of Christ. Arise to meet your Love in the heavens. Come, Lord Jesus, come. Rescue us into your presence. Release us from our waiting, from our yearning for your face, deliver us together as one into your eyeball courts, to sing your praises eternal.
We are no longer lost, we are no longer blind, we can see the love in your example, Lord – in your grace you are revealed to us, and we are humbled at your feet. Amazing grace, that saved a wretch like me – so sweet a sound, to be found in your arms, even a prodigal like me. Your mercies reach so deep into the darkness to rescue even me, Lord. Even me.
Am I lifting Him up? Or just expecting to be lifted?
How many of us treat God like a genie with our prayers? Only calling out to Him about the things that we want and need? Forgetting to praise and worship and honor Him for all of the blessings we have already received – and like a spoiled child only thinking about the blessings ahead that we want?
Not to us, O lord , not to us, but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness.
Shout with joy to the lord , all the earth!
Will our dog or cat "out praise" us?

Q: How to call a function from ImmutableJS Record constructor I've replaced many/most of my typescript entities with Immutable Records for some level of safety/security/warm and fuzzies but I just noticed that my constructor is now broken.
Originally, I was automatically creating new UUIDs in my constructor as a default value, but with the ImmutableJS Records - this behaviour is broken.
I do understand why, but I'm not entirely sure what the correct workaround is - but I feel like it's either really complicated, or stupidly simple.
import { Record } from "immutable";
import uuid from "uuid";

const tagDefaults: TagParams = {
    depth: 0,
    id: "tag::" + uuid.v4(),
    name,
    order: 0,
};

interface TagParams {
    name: string;
    order: number;
    depth: number;
    id: string;
}

export class Tag extends Record(tagDefaults) { }

Creating that initial tagDefaults is what creates the first UUID - after which, all subsequent new Tag()'s use the same ID.
Is there a simple way to have a function called on each constructor? I've tried overriding in the constructor (this.id = uuid.v4()) but that actually causes Webpack to crap out on me.
UPDATE: June 8th, 2018
Using the answer @mpontus provided, here is an updated example showing that either option can work.
import { Record, Set } from "immutable";
import uuid from "uuid";

const tagDefaults: TagParams = {
    depth: 0,
    id: "",
    name,
    order: 0,
};

interface TagParams {
    name: string;
    order: number;
    depth: number;
    id: string;
}

export class Tag extends Record(tagDefaults) {
    constructor(props: Partial<TagParams> = {}) {
        // Option A - Works
        if (!props.id) {
            props.id = uuid.v4();
        }

        super(props);

        // Option B - Works
        // if (!this.id) {
        //     return this.set("id", uuid.v4());
        // }
        // return this;
    }
}

describe("Given a Tag", () => {
    describe("When constructed", () => {
        test("It should contain a unique id", () => {
            const tag1 = new Tag();
            const tag2 = new Tag({});
            const tag3 = new Tag({ depth: 1, name: "hello", order: 10 });
            const tag4 = new Tag({ id: "tag4Id" });
            const tags = Set([tag1, tag2, tag3, tag4].map((t) => t.id));
            expect(tags.size).toBe(4);
            console.log([tags]);
        });
    });
});

A: You can't accomplish what you want using default values.
Your attempt to override Tag constructor was good, but you have to override the values that go into the constructor:
const tagDefaults = {
    depth: 0,
    id: "",
    name: "",
    order: 0,
};

class Tag extends Record(tagDefaults) {
    constructor(values) {
        const finalValues = { ...values };

        if (finalValues.id === undefined) {
            finalValues.id = uuid.v4();
        }

        super(finalValues);
    }
}

Alternatively, you can return a different record instance from the constructor, but I'm not sure if TypeScript will accept that.
const { Record } = require("immutable");
const uuid = require('uuid');

const tagDefaults = {
    depth: 0,
    id: undefined,
    name: "",
    order: 0,
};

class Tag extends Record(tagDefaults) {
    constructor(values) {
        super(values);

        if (this.id === undefined) {
            return this.set('id', uuid.v4());
        }

        return this;
    }
}

Jean Pierre Rousselet combines the classic styling of Michelangelo with the lines and pure colour palette of Andy Warhol to arrive at his unique and instantly recognizable style. His high-impact, large-scale paintings capture the very essence of his subject; from the Renaissance to contemporary pop culture, his art celebrates the unique character and personality of every subject that he paints. Jean Pierre's paintings are the centerpiece of a room; the heart of a home.
Born in the world's third largest city, Sao Paulo, Brazil, Jean Pierre got his paint stained genes from his artistic father. He studied fine arts as well as industrial design and architecture at Sao Paulo's internationally recognized universities, FAU and FAAP, and has been a professional artist and designer ever since.
Jean Pierre has worked with companies from Nestle to Air France and in 2001 he relocated to Miami Florida to serve as a producer for Disney Channel International Television. Later, he worked for HBO Television International creating promotions of HBO original series such as Roma and Big Love for Brazil and Latin America. His work in film and television has earned him both national and international awards.
Since 2005, Jean Pierre has forged a successful solo career as an artist and designer, focusing on high-impact, large-scale Pop Art acrylic paintings on canvas. Yet his talents are not confined to the screen or canvas, Jean Pierre's sculptures and interior design create an artistic atmosphere that has won him international recognition. With a keen eye on the future, the multi-media Pop works of Jean Pierre Rousselet promise to offer a new perspective of classic works of art we recognize.
Jean Pierre's paintings have been displayed in CASAdecor Miami, art exhibitions in Design District and he enjoys gallery representations in Miami, Boca Raton and Naples. He has completed personal Pop Art portrait commissions and delighted collectors across the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and South America. Collectors include Stephen King, Clint Eastwood and the family of Vicente Fox, ex-President of Mexico.
"What if Michelangelo had apprenticed at Andy Warhol's Factory in New York City?
The results might be something like the works of Brazilian born, Florida based, painter Jean Pierre Rousselet. Rousselet rethinks the epic figures of the Sistine Chapel ceiling in startling Technicolor.
The recumbent, well-muscled torso of Adam both emerges from and recedes into a background that traverses the spectrum from fiery orange and yellow to cool blue and raspberry hues. Although his rock ribbed midsection is swathed in a patch of yellow, the rest of the truncated figure, neither his head nor his outstretched arm beyond the bicep is depicted, appears in black and white, as if he were carved from marble.
Bands of colored balls, a recurring Rousselet motif that resembles the Benday dots appropriated by the pop artists of the 1950s and '60s, create an opposing diagonal to the figure. The dots also appear in the artist's version of the Sistine Eve, whose sculptural, twisting torso floats against a sea of tangerine orbs.

Last days at DRC
On March 8, 2010 April 9, 2010 By Mary KateIn UncategorizedLeave a comment
I've got a few last updates on my senior project before I wrap it up and fly home tomorrow! I'll give you an overview of the past week — The internet has been spotty as of late and I haven't been able to update as often as I'd like.
Last Thursday and Friday were Claire's and my days off from DRC. On Thursday my grandmother took us into downtown Key West to look around and sight-see a little. We saw Mel Fisher's Treasure Museum, which showed off many gold and silver artifacts from the Spanish ship Nuestra Senora de Atocha that he discovered in July of 1985. After that we swung by Ernest Hemingway's house — a lovely southern colonial-style hosue nestled behind beautiful street side landscaping. Before leaving the downtown area we took a trolley tour of some of the prettiest houses in town — an interesting fact: most houses have unique gingerbread trims that their owners, ship captains, would carve while out at sea, giving each house a distinct and homey look, as well as a connection to the past.
Saturday we went back to work, with no more days off! That was no problem, however, as working at DRC was such a pleasure each and every day. Claire and I did the usual: feeding birds in the morning, sweeping off the underwater platforms, and assisting with encounters. Late in the week, our two Volunteer Directors, Becky and Kris, arranged for us to go down on the docks and partipate in a Meet-a-Dolphin program, in which we gave backrubs to three dolphins (Kibby, Tanner, and AJ) and got handshakes and kisses in return!
It's been a fantastic two weeks. I fly home tomorrow. Hope you all have had fun reading these posts!
Exciting Firsts with the Dolphins, Sea Lions and Birds
On February 24, 2010 February 24, 2010 By Mary KateIn Uncategorized1 Comment
I've got some stories to share from my first three days at DRC! I'll go by animal:
Dolphins: "Our middle name is research," literally, says DRC's public speaker Julie, and yesterday I got to see my first dolphin research session. DRC is the only facility that allows the public to view their research sessions, so this was quite a treat. Talon, a 19-year-old male, can recognize sequences of numbers from 1 to 5. He ranks in the 90th percentile and has a very high success rate — when I watched him he only made 2 mistakes! The trainers position Talon in front of a blue board, onto which they lower the numbers 1 thru 5 in a random order. Once he is given the signal, he touches his rostrum (nose/snout) to the numbers in their correct order. Pretty amazing stuff!
Sea Lions: DRC has 3 California Sea Lions: an 8-year-old male named Kilo, and two "elderly" females, Karen and Renee. The girls haven't even been at DRC for a full year, and have only recently gotten accustomed to actual bay water (as opposed to the freshwater tanks they were kept in for most of their lives). Today, for the first time, the ladies actually waddled down the stairs into the lagoon and swam around! Karen is older than Renee and has gone completely blind, so she was only in for a little bit before she swam back to her trainer for some fishy treats. Renee, however, who still has some of her eyesight, kept on exploring the lagoon for more than fifteen minutes! The best part was when Renee swam beside one of the fences that separate the lagoons and realized that there were dolphins on the other side. She started barking joyfully, and the five dolphins in that lagoon, Jax and Gypsi in particular, started whistling and cheering her on. It was such a cute exchange!
Birds: Last but not least I had some fun encounters with our tropical birds. DRC has wild peacocks that roam the grounds, and I was treated to a full peacock feather display yesterday! I never knew that in addition to spreading out their feathers in a brilliant display of color, they shake their hard back feathers to make a rustling noise and make the "eyes" of the long feathers vibrate. Also, the fanning out of the top feathers leaves the lower down feathers exposed, so when they turn around, you can see a big fluff ball of soft down feathers — cute and unexpected! Another bird first was my first conversation with Buck, DRC's sulfur-crested cockatoo. He's quite the character, and once he realizes you're the one giving him treats, he speaks to you! His phrases include "pretty bird!" and "bye-bye," as well as whistles and other incoherent mumbles. I thought I'd never get him to speak but now every time I walk into the avian hut he's got a lot to say! =]
Just a few anecdotes from my first couple of days at DRC — I can already tell I'm going to miss this place!
First Day with the Dolphins!
On February 22, 2010 February 23, 2010 By Mary KateIn UncategorizedLeave a comment
"Welcome to the Conch Republic!" said the cheery, cheesy banner at the Key West airport. Claire and I landed in the Keys right about 3:00pm yesterday (Sunday) afternoon. The weather was a balmy 76 degrees, a welcome change from the freezing conditions at Westtown! Unfortunately, that balminess translated into on-and-off rain showers all day today, so after we went through an orientation session, we spent the majority of our day at DRC outside being drizzled on. All is well, though, as the forecast for the rest of the week predicts clear skies. =]
Now that I've been through a full day, I can give you a better idea of our daily duties. Claire and I start off the day by sweeping off the submerged platforms on which visitors stand when participating in a Dolphin Encounter. Depending on who is given what duty, we sometimes have the responsibility of feeding the tropical birds in the morning. After that, we help out wherever is needed, observing various dolphin encounters and assisting the trainers who run them. We also have the opportunity to structure our day so that we can watch seminars and workshops, or pull research material from DRC's library. We have lunch around noon, where we eat with the rest of the volunteers and interns. Our next scheduled duty is giving the birds their afternoon snack, around 2:00pm. We then continue helping with dolphin activities until we return to the birds to clean out their dishes as well as the floor of the entire avian hut, at about 4:00pm. We collect trash and recycling from around the grounds and finish up any other tasks that need to be done and leave around 4:30pm.
Overall, it's a pretty laid-back atmosphere, but everyone at the DRC takes even the smallest responsibility seriously. I've set a personal, albeit somewhat silly goal for myself: be able to identify each of DRC's 20 dolphins by the end of my two weeks! Take a look at Jax, my first identified dolphin. We're looking forward to continuing our work with the birds and dolphins and hopefully the next couple of days will be sunny and warm!

Key West project details
Hi! My name is Mary Kate, and I'm 18 years old. As you know, I'm about to go on my Senior Project and I'll be keeping you updated on my progress, but first I should let you know where I'm going and what I'll be doing there. Claire, a fellow senior, and I will be travelling to the Florida Keys to volunteer at the Dolphin Research Center, which is about 30 minutes away from Key West, in Marathon. We'll be working there, 9am-5pm, for two weeks, starting Monday, Feb 22nd and ending Friday, March 5th. We will stay with my grandmother, who has a condo in Marathon.
Over Winter Break my family actually spent a week in Marathon for Christmas. While we were there we participated in the interactive "Dolphin Encounter" that the DRC offers, and we swam with the dolphins there! It was so much fun and I even met with Becky, the Director of Volunteer Resources. I spoke with her for a while and got a good sense of what Claire and I would be doing every day. We'll start off every morning by cleaning off the submerged platforms that visitors stand on to interact with the dolphins. We will actually be the first people the dolphins see every morning, and as Becky put it, "if you don't say hi and play with them a little, you'll be in trouble!" (I don't think playing with the dolphins will be very difficult!) But after that, it's on to the fish house, where we'll prepare the dolphins' meals and feed them their breakfast. Some of the dolphins need extra hydration, we will be helping the trainers give them water. After the dolphins have all been fed, we move on to grounds keeping. Since the DRC welcomes hundreds of visitors each day, the grounds must be kept clean, and it's up to the volunteers to make sure that happens. We'll pick up any trash and sweep off the walkways, etc. Then we go to the DRC's tropical bird house, where we will feed them as well.
Those are our basic daily chores. After they are finished, we report to Becky and she'll direct us where we are needed, whether that be assisting the trainers with the Dolphin Encounters, working in the gift shop, or preparing educational brochures and leading visitor orientation sessions. My hope for this project is that I do something a lot different from things I've done in the past as far as experiences. Yes, I have been swimming with the dolphins before, but as far as work experience and skill application, I have only held the straightforward jobs of field hockey referee and lifeguard; they are seasonal and only require a specific set of skills. At the DRC I will be doing all kinds of work; as I mentioned before, not only will I be working with the animals but also with the landscaping and grounds keeping aspects, administrative tasks, and educational work as well. My only real fear is that I might not get everything done that is asked of me. I can see myself getting distracted by the animals that I will be working with, but hopefully not to the point where I neglect my other duties. Overall it should be a lot of hard work, but coupled with great rewards.
Thanks for reading! –Mary Kate

Approximately 40–50% of women will experience concerns pertaining to sexual health during their lifetime. DSM-5 updated the classification of female sexual dysfunction, combining hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) and sexual arousal disorder into a larger category termed "female sexual interest or arousal disorder." Despite this reclassification, some groups recommend maintaining the two as separate clinical entities due to disparate pathophysiology and specific evidence supporting treatments for HSDD. Additional conditions that may impact female sexual health include female orgasmic disorder and genitopelvic pain or penetration disorder. When diagnosing any sexual health disorder, symptoms must be present for 6 months, be personally distressing to the patient, and meet at least three of six specific criteria related to symptoms and frequency (outlined in DSM-5) to ensure an accurate diagnosis. Duration criteria may limit overdiagnosis as transient factors commonly impact sexual function, such as relationship conflict or other life events.
Although female sexual disorders are common, only about one-third of women seek help from their clinicians. Thus, it is important for health care providers to invite women to discuss their sexual concerns by routinely initiating dialogue about sexual health during office visits. Patients who express concerns can be asked a more complete history that includes the onset, duration, and severity of symptoms as well as associated distress. A number of screening instruments are available that can be useful for identifying specific disorders.
