Twelve-year-old Julianne Speyer, of Russell Township, wrote a letter to the editors of the Geauga County Maple Leaf this month that called out the announcer of the Chesterland Fourth of July Parade for sexist language, (image above).
"The announcer labeled the Boy Scouts the 'future leaders of America,'" Speyer wrote, "and he said the Girls Scouts were 'just having fun.'"
Speyer asked that the Maple Leaf let others know "how much this kind of thing happens and how bad it is."
"I feel it is an insult to both girls and women of all ages," she wrote, of the announcer's language. "This kind of thing happens way too much and it is not OK at all."
We couldn't agree more. While the Maple Leaf published the letter in its July 19 edition, the letter does not appear on the Maple Leaf's website, though letters from the more recent July 25 edition do.
We'd like to help Julianne push out her message, too. She was disturbed by the announcer's language and took an action to correct an injustice. We could all learn from her example. Pass it on.


Start/Parking: For this walk you need to set off early to make sure you can park inthe free car park which is next to the Robin Hood pub just off the A619 road to Baslow (DE45 1PQ). You start and finish the walk here which is great because the pub serves great beer and Panini's.
Walk summary: I started this walk at 10.40 on a bank holiday Monday. When I arrived there were a couple of parking spaces left but the weather wasn't great. The full walk is 8 miles and takes about 4 hours. I was walking with my 10 year old daughter so we only did 3 hours, about 5 ½ miles.
Leave the car park and walk down the main road towards Baslow. Just after the camp site sign on the right you'll see a footpath sign and a stile on the other side of the road. This is where you take your life in your hands and try to cross. Sometimes this road is busier than the M1!
Once you've survived the crossing descend the steep steps, over the bridge and up the hill to a "cross roads". You need to go straight ahead following the sign for Beeley via Swiss lake. At the top climb over the ladder stile and continue on the path to the left. This is "Dobb Edge" – you should take great care. After the roped section climb over the stile into the field and climb the other a little further down the wall to the right.
Descend the rocky path. Continue on the path upwards to another stile and keep following in the same direction (it goes down and then up following a wall and heads towards the woods. Once in the woods turn left and then right on the main path and follow. This path goes past the farm buildings on the left and deeper into the woods.
Continue along the main forest road until you come across Chatsworth's Hunting lodge. Now I've always wondered what the hunting lodge was for. Historically it was where the ladies gathered to watch the hunt. Now you can hire it out for a romantic stay!
Descend the steps in front of the lodge and turn left. We walked down the main forest track and passed the aqueduct which feeds the Chatsworth fountain.
The road bends to the right. Follow this past the farm/play area and to the stables. Once you've a look around walk down hill with the house on the left. Carry on through to the bridge at the bottom which goes over the Derwent.
Don't cross it take the path to the right and follow the river to the cricket pavilion. As you reach the cricket boundary fence turn right to the main path. Follow the main path left, pass the white lodge, and take the right hand fork to the Kissing gates.
Follow this path; pass the house continuing right around the house. Follow this path to the bridge, over the bridge to the Nether end of Baslow.
We reached hear at 12.20 and decided to call it a day, well walk back to the Robin Hood about 30mins. To return to the Robin Hood follow the main road right, past the Wheat sheaf, straight on at the roundabout, and follow the road until you reach the car park you started from.
OK if you're going to continue the walk. Cross the main road and walk up Eaton Hill (the Italian is on the corner). Walk as far as the road where you turn right. This is a no through road for traffic; at the end there is a track. Walk up this steep track until you reach the moors. Walk up and past the stone cross "Wellington's monument". Follow the obvious path for a while following the wall and downhill. You'll come to a gate at the bottom. Turn right down the road and over the junction. You'll find a stile on the right just after the junction.
There are 2 paths, choose the left hand path. You're heading to the distant ridge on the left so follow the best route. You reach some rocks there is a small path to the left which takes you to a more defined path leading up to the ridge. Follow the ridge as far as a water hydrant where you turn right down a steep descent which overlooks a 3 par golf course which is behind the Robin Hood pub.
We hope you have enjoyed the Robin Hood pub walk as much as we did. A pint of Jennings and a Panini went down very well when we finished the walk. My daughter obviously had a coke (and her own Panini, she deserved it).

Cooling Castle wurde in den 1380er Jahren von John Cobham am Rande der Marschen des Dorfes Cooling, etwa zehn Kilometer nördlich von Rochester in der englischen Grafschaft Kent gebaut. Es liegt über drei Kilometer von der Küste entfernt. Von Thomas Wyatt wurde es während der Wyatt-Verschwörung 1554 belagert. Lord Cobham ergab sich nach kurzem Widerstand. Er gab zwar an, er habe sich einem Stärkeren ergeben, hatte jedoch vorher mit Wyatt sympathisiert und war deswegen auch kurze Zeit inhaftiert. Die Burg gehörte später dem Lollardenführer John Oldcastle – später für seinen Glauben hingerichtet und Vorlage für William Shakespeares Falstaff – durch Heirat mit Joan Oldcastle, 4. Baroness Cobham.

In den 1990er Jahren gehörte das Anwesen den Brückenwärtern von Rochester. Die später angelegten Wohngebäude der Burg werden noch genutzt. 2006 gehörten sie dem Musiker Jools Holland. Der Hauptteil der Burg ist eine Ruine; im Inneren befindet sich ein Privathaus. Das Torhaus ist in gutem Zustand und von der Straße aus zu sehen. Die Schuppen von Cooling Castle dienen zur Ausrichtung von Hochzeitsfeiern und anderen Veranstaltungen.

English Heritage hat die Burg als historisches Gebäude I. Grades gelistet und 2009 auf die "Heritage-at-Risk"-Liste gesetzt.

Next Gen Member Swish Goswami Launches Trufan
Social media analytics tool Trufan allows influencers to engage with their top followers
Haley Hoffman Smith, Speaker & Author of Her Big Idea
I recently started speaking, which means my social following has been growing steadily and I'm connecting with more people than ever on Instagram and my other social media channels.
This is incredibly important to me. Building a 'fanbase,' even though I'm only considered a 'micro-influencer,' (influencer on a smaller [less than 10,000 followers] scale) leads to more friendships, leads, and connections. There's no denying the incredible power that influencers today hold – we all saw how Kylie Jenner made Snapchat's stock plummet after tweeting that she hardly uses Snapchat anymore, and how Taylor Swift's posts on Instagram about voting crashed the voting registration site. But, the path to becoming an influencer with a handful of true fans has become increasingly difficult despite options such as social advertising (promoting your posts on Facebook and Instagram) because of the surge in the number of influencers and dreaded I
So, when I heard that Next Gen member Swish Goswami was working on a new social media analytics tool that would change the game for not only influencers, but marketers, I was excited. Swish is a sharp entrepreneurial mind, a renowned speaker, and an all around wonderful person. He first came up with the idea for Trufan after CEO of Cogent Marketing, Mark Zablow, asked him if he had a tool that could help NBA all star Chris Paul determine who his most loyal Houston-based fans were. He recently launched it (Trufan) his team, which includes Aanikh Kler and Tim Hyde.
Trufan is an enterprise Saas that allows influencers to build a direct relationship and connection with their strongest advocates to engage them and concomitantly, form a community. Trufan aggregates the audience that is truly listening; there's no more 'shouting into the void' of followers, because you know that the audience you're speaking to is already engaged. This makes it much easier for influencers and marketers to identify and scale their tribe.
Think about it: the impact of knowing the segment of your followers that are your 'true fans' allows you to better market to them – to host events and invite them, to launch new products and sell to them, and just to speak to them and build that relationship. It's a tool of unprecedented community engagement and connection, which is quite timely. 2018 is a day and age grounded in social media followings and online connection. The Trufan team has recognized the needs of influencers to identify their most committed followers, and risen to the occasion.
Others are just as excited about Trufan – their investor lineup is quite impressive, and has yielded $500,000 CAD in its second pre-round from investors such as Kyle Kuzma (the Los Angeles Lakers forward) and Manny Padda (Canada's Angel Investor of the Year). Celebrities from Kevin Hart to Gucci Mane have beta tested the app, and their board of advisors includes Hootsuite CEO Ryan Holmes.
The beta has been rolled out to brands such as McDonalds Canada, Western Union, Under Armor, and more – an exciting burst of momentum that contains great promise for the future. The Next Gen Community can't wait to watch Trufan unfold, and I personally can't wait to try it, myself! Swish and his team are truly changing the tide for today's influencers, bringing more people together in a more effective and mainstream way.

GSL vs. the World 2018
SERRAL IS CHAMPION
GRAND FINAL – Serral 4-3 Stats
Serral 3-1 Dark
Serral 3-0 INoVation
Serral 3-0 Kelazhur
Ladies and gentlemen, what a great time to be alive, as we are nearing one of the most anticipated events of the year! GSL vs. the World is the second WCS Global Event of 2018. Serral travels to Seoul, South Korea, to represent Team World among the elite of foreign StarCraft 2. The event is held on August 2-5th, and consists of two parts. In the main event, individual players face each other in a single-elimination bracket. The second part will have the two teams going up against each other in a BO9 series.
Since it is so rare for us to see these players compete against each other because of the region lock, there is no way to tell who will come out on top. Team World consists of Serral, SpeCial, Neeb, ShoWTimE, Kelazhur, Scarlett, Has and wildcard representative, Cyan. Team Korea's representatives are Maru, Rogue, Classic, Stats, Zest, Innovation, Dark, and soO. The skill gap between foreigners and Koreans has been closing more and more. For example, Scarlett won IEM Pyeongchang this year and Neeb won the 2016 KeSPA Cup. Also, a lot of the players from Team World have been practicing in Korea, and getting that vital intel against their players.
While Serral has reigned supreme on the foreign soil, his performance against Koreans is difficult to predict. Earlier in the year in WESG, he lost 0-3 to Maru, but emerged victorious against Classic with a 3-1 score. Many fans and players alike are hoping to see the rematch between Maru and Serral. Both players have been acclaimed to be the best their regions have to offer. But the road to that dream final is going to be rocky. Serral starts his run by going against a more familiar opponent Kelazhur. Right after that, he would already be up against an incredibly formidable opponent in either Innovation, the winner of GSL vs. the World 2017, or Rogue, last year's Blizzcon Champion.
We hope you join us in cheering for Serral as he marches into the tournament with 3 consecutive WCS titles under his belt and fights to put the Koreans in their place.
All matches are Bo5.
Finals are Bo7.
GSL vs. The World Team Competition
Best-of-nine. All matches will be played.
Each player from the GSL team plays a member of the World team.
If needed, an ace match will be played between one member selected from the GSL team and one member from the World team.

Over the past year, our followers have been introduced to new solar technologies, celestial tablets, and solar spells that have allowed many to be identified as divine celestial beings. We are born as divine beings, but most will only deliver this information to the universe in an unconscious sense. Most will never be able to acknowledge their divine heritage and power in any real way.
As a result, the universe cannot allow these souls to advance away from the world of suffering and rebirth. When a soul is identified as a divine soul fully conscious of its divinity, the universe changes in a tangible manner.
Thus far, we have identified about one dozen souls who are able to interact with the universe in this way. These souls are able to consciously communicate with the sun and make it blink. They are able to witness and record multiple suns in the sky. They are able to see and record the manifestation of spiritual power emanating from the sun. These souls have also been recognized by the Andromeda Council of Gods as conscious divine beings no longer fit for rebirth on this planet.
The human race stands at an important crossroads. We are at heart a race with much potential. However, we are still far too self-destructive, homicidal, and prone to war for the higher civilizations to allow us to venture into the stars.
We have received much help from many races over the centuries, but we continue to kill each other in vast numbers. We continue to make war, cause famine, and hold the less fortunate hostage to the greater powers in the world. We have the ability to solve many of our own problems, but we refuse to do so.
The Gods have given us a huge opportunity. If we can show that our planet contains at least 144 evolved souls who can communicate with the Sun in the manner described above, then the whole race will be offered the opportunity to awaken. Those who wish to remain in the matrix of illusion and holographic reality will be allowed to do so. However, those souls will no longer receive the help and support of the higher races. Those souls will be left to their own devices.
The Solar Paradosis is a ceremony that will allow those who attend to rapidly accelerate their ability to communicate with the sun and other stars so that they may be recognized at conscious divine souls. The purpose of the ceremony is to identify at least 144 of these souls so that our planet may be liberated as a free world.
All those attending will be given a physical empowerment via a Tibetan Wand of Solar Power that we have charged over the last few years. The wand was once in residence in a temple of the Order of the Red Dragon. The attendees will be given a special word of commitment that will be used in all their future solar work. The combination of the word and the special empowerment will rapidly advance the consciousness of the users. These souls will also receive secret solar formulas that will help with the process of advancement.
We have never given this information to the citizens of earth before.
We will give this seminar twice. Both ceremonies will be identical, but those who attend both will receive double the power of those who attend once. We hope to see as many of you as possible for this important work.
144 of us can literally free our planet. I would like to gather 200 conscious divine souls so that the Council will have no doubt and act swiftly to liberate this world.


From coast to coast, Canada crushes it in the quality of its wine, and brings home more awards every year. But that doesn't mean success is going to its head. Many wineries are accessible and local, dusting off old notions of pretentious oenophiles of the past and embracing the surge of younger and more casual wine aficionados.
The most abundant grape-growing happens in British Columbia and Ontario, but inventive and bold vintners are cropping up in new places all the time. Choosing favourites is quite a subjective matter, but we've broken down some of the best places to taste by what you might like to pair with your sipping experience. So take our advice or follow your own path—with these wines, you're in for a win, wherever you land.
You know your way around a wine menu and may even consider yourself a pseudo-sommelier, so these places should interest you the most. They're producing liquid gold on the regular, and garnering medals to match. When only the best will do, these are the Canadian wine regions for you.
Bottom left: Yelp/Lise P.; Bottom right: Yelp/Chris D.
Canadian wine production has a winning track record in British Columbia. Okanagan Valley boasts an impressive 172 wineries, and is the gold standard for BC wines. Okanagan wineries brought home both Best Red and Best White of the Year at the All Canadian Wine Championships in 2017. Okanagan Valley yields some of the most popular Canadian wines, and is the most-awarded wine country in Canada. Vintages like the Hatch's Black Swift Long Road Syrah 2013 are so highly rated they could run for Prime Minister.
Red lovers will relish Sandhill Estate Vineyard near Oliver, where the 2014 Howard Soon Red will show you why it earned top marks. Get it while you can.
Crescent Hill Winery in Penticton offers the stuff of dreams for white wine fans with its Gewurztraminer. It doesn't hurt that this homey winery is a joy to visit, with beautiful views and deep family roots.
Top left: Yelp/N M; Top right: Yelp/Stefanie S.; Bottom right: Yelp/Julie T.
Speaking of accolades, Niagara-on-the-Lake, the birthplace of the Ontario wine industry, has some hefty titles under its belt. The 37 wineries in this region have taken high honours in many competitions, from the Ontario Wine Awards to international prizes. The Niagara Wine Festival is a must-attend event, where regional wines and cuisine delight the palate, and concerts and parades entertain your other senses.
The toast of the town, Tawse Winery, has taken Winery of the Year at four WineAlign National Wine Awards and is the whole package, with consistent quality, world-class pinot noir and Riesling (to name a few), and an on-site restaurant.
Two Sisters Vineyards pairs high-quality wine with a pleasing atmosphere and delicious pizza from their authentic brick oven.
Left: Yelp/Ben B.; Bottom right: Yelp/Leticia P.
Nova Scotia is a dominant cold-climate grape region, perhaps best known for the unique and often full-bodied L'Acadie blanc. The Annapolis Valley is prime growing ground, and other fertile spaces include Gaspereau Valley, Bear River Valley, and the Malagash Peninsula. The two-dozen-or-so wineries are making their names known, especially for their whites, which are full of bright and aromatic nuance that highlight the unique terroir.
Sparkling enthusiasts know where to go—Benjamin Bridge Vineyard. This is the premier place for Canadian bubbles, and once you taste the fresh citrus complexity of the sparkling rosé or the rich balance of the brut reserve, you'll be a convert in no time.
Perhaps no winery is more Nova Scotian than Domaine de Grand Pré. Here, they are committed to producing varietals and styles that represent the flavours and land of Atlantic Canada.
Sure, you enjoy wine very much, but it takes more than a full-bodied vintage or a fresh, floral white to set your heart aflutter. If, like a newly opened bottle of red, you are better after a little aeration, these activity-laden regions will be a breath of fresh air.
With Vancouver in close proximity, Fraser Valley is an ideal Canadian wine region for those who also want to do some exploring. Pop over to the city or enjoy farm visits, fishing, paragliding, water sports, and farmers markets—there are unending things to do in the area. There also happen to be some great wineries.
Chaberton Estate Winery in Langley has an on-site bistro and hosts events and year-round tours and tastings.
For something different, sample award-winning fruit wine at Angel Estate Winery after a day exploring the paths and ponds of nearby George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary.
Top left: Yelp/Sheila W.; Top right: Yelp/Chris D.; Bottom right: Yelp/Chris V.
Just 350 km east of Fraser Valley is an agricultural area known as the Naramata Bench. Life is made to savour in this region, where the scenic Okanagan Lake, village charm, and network of farms, orchards, and vineyards invite you to explore everything on offer. Monashee Adventure Tours can show you the ropes. They even host winery walking tours, so you'll be sure to experience the tastes of the town.
One of the first in the region, Nichol Vineyard has really grown into its own. It's perhaps best known for pioneering syrah in Canada, but pinot gris and pinot noir are also some of their best-loved grapes.
Kettle Valley Winery has been perfecting its process since before planting their first pinot noir and chardonnay in 1987. They picked this spot for its potential to grow full-bodied wines, but the surrounding natural beauty make it ripe for outdoor adventure, too—from hiking to biking to water activities.
Top left: Yelp/Rodrigo T.; Bottom left: Yelp/Rodrigo T. ; Bottom right: Yelp/Philip S.
At Lake Erie North Shore and Pelee Island, bike trails and beaches are waiting to be explored, while summer festivals entertain during Ontario's longest growing season. Warm up on an outdoor adventure, then cool down with a crisp white. Hike through Carolinian forests and explore Point Pelee National Park. The bounty of things to do in this sunny, beautiful region is ripe for the picking.
Viewpointe Estate Winery hosts festivals and barbecues, and the activities calendar is packed. Take in the lake views as you sip world-class wine, then bring home a bottle or two from their winery shoppe.
Taste some of the best of the region at Cooper's Hawk Vineyard or Oxley Estate Winery, where periodic events have a foodie flair.
Pairing the finest vintages with the freshest views is your MO, and you understand that the impression on the eyes is just as important as on the palate. A truly good wine deserves an aesthetically divine backdrop, so put these places at the top of your must-see list.
Comprising one of the smallest regions in BC, the Gulf Islands are so charming and gorgeous, you won't even need wine goggles to fall in love. Incidentally, you'll encounter some wonderful vino while taking in the fetching setting.
Sea Star Vineyards on Pender Island is tucked against a forest backdrop with direct views of the sea, making this a truly unique environment. Delight in award-winning wines in a blissful setting; leave with a big smile on your face.
Salt Spring Vineyards invites you to picnic by their pond and enjoy a complimentary tasting. If you're celebrating something special, order the Karma brut-style bubbly, and let the cheery atmosphere put a spring in your step.
The Eastern Townships in Quebec are emerging as late-season experts, and the surrounding lakes and valleys make this a scenic road trip region with benefits. Come for the views, stay for the wine. Either way, you'll love it here.
Léon Courville is set high on rolling slopes overlooking Lac Brome with views of Mont Orford and its surrounds. Enjoy a bottle of Cuvée Charlotte or pinot noir reserve and breathe in the aromas of perfection.
At Le Vignoble de l'Orpailleur, the region's loveliness is in full force on the shaded terrace. Indulge in bites to rival your wine at the on-site restaurant, Le Tire-Bouchon.
Left: Yelp/Victoria S.; Top right: Yelp/Karen F.; Top middle right: Yelp/Arlan B.; Bottom right: Yelp/Pauline W.
With its southerly locale on the shores of Lake Ontario, the pretty Prince Edward County is a wine lover's paradise with the views to match. Picturesque is an understatement in this neck of the woods, where charming villages dot the coastline of the country's finest freshwater beaches.
At Waupoos Estates Winery, the stunning views of Lake Ontario make it a prime location for special events and unforgettable days. The sparkling-white rounded pavilion offers almost a complete circle of enviable vantage points, and once the sun starts to set, everything is bathed in pinks and golds.
Huff Estates lets you enjoy vineyard views from the large patio at the restaurant, but get ready to see more than leaves and vines at the on-site art gallery featuring Canadian and international multi-media artists.
You like to kick back and enjoy the fruits of your labour (or someone else's, for that matter), and you prefer to savour the end result than examine the ins and outs. You're not one to mince words like tannin, briary, or vinous. Like 'em leggy? Sure! A toasty varietal, you say? Bring it on! From fruity to flinty, it's about drinking what you like, and enjoying the process.
Colder-climate grapes love Montérégie, and Montérégie loves visitors. Especially those who appreciate the brilliant offerings of the region. It's full of stars like Mont-Saint-Hilaire for its ancient forests, trails, and lake, and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu with its hot air balloon festival and Chambly Canal walkways.
Prepare to be charmed by Le Mas des Patriotes, where restored farm buildings house a feeling of warmth and welcome. Bring home a bottle of Le Sieur Rivard Réserve, and be sure to take a guided tour of the vineyard.
Domaine St-Jacques produces flavour-rich wines, like their seyval-forward whites and beautiful rosé. Run in the spirit of sustainability, this vignoble is tended with a lot of heart and care, and the results speak for themselves.
Top left: Yelp/Ron P.; Bottom left: Yelp/Lauren L.; Bottom right: Yelp/Brock S.
Merlot and chardonnay are top grapes in Similkameen Valley, and the 19 licensed wineries of the region produce world-class vintages with no aftertaste of attitude. Rugged mountain landscapes, organic farms, and friendly small towns make up the personality of this area, where there is much to take in, and peaceful scenery to soothe.
Seven Stones Winery holds tastings in the underground caves, where the cool, dusky atmosphere lends itself to quiet contemplation. The gorgeous above-ground views don't hurt, either.
The small-batch, single-vineyard Little Farm Winery is as unpretentious as they come, lovingly operated using sustainable practices.
Bottom left: Flickr/Michael Pardo; Bottom right: Yelp/ Doc E.
With a handful of experimental wineries set against Georgian Bay and the Niagara Escarpment, this emerging region is the perfect place to stretch your legs and expand your knowledge. The VQA Wine Truck stops at events and festivals throughout Ontario, bringing regional wine in its wake. The wine comes to you—what could be better than that?
The deck at Coffin Ridge beckons with soft music, vineyard views, and the vintner's cheese and bread plate with custom wine pairings.
Learn about the art of cool-climate wines at Georgian Hills Vineyards, where no reservations are needed at their inviting tasting room and you're encouraged to linger over charcuterie and wines to suit your tastes.
When it comes to the perfect place to sip and swirl wine, these top Canadian wineries stand out. Each brings unique terroirs and is producing wines with distinctive character and alluring flavour. Pick between jam-packed adventure itineraries or relaxed tastings in peaceful surroundings. These exceptional regions across the country offer enough to satisfy every personal taste.

Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is one of my favorite celebrations at Walt Disney World Resort. You will have an amazing, but no-so-scary, fun night!
Generally, (and I say generally because things can be different based on other events taking place around the resort) the earlier parties and weeknight parties are the least crowded. Party nights closer to Halloween and/or on the weekend tend to sell out more quickly and have larger crowds. Since party dates have not been announced for 2018 yet, this is the best guideline I can give you for now.
It's a good idea to follow the Disney Parks Blog for announcements about special event schedules and all things Disney!

In the coming weeks, BCA members will be balloted about changes to the BCA Constitution aimed at abolishing the two house voting system which will remove the "Group" vote and disenfranchise clubs, regional councils and other such groups in favour of individual membership. This is a change that, if passed, will have profound and long lasting effect on British caving.
This proposal was placed directly before the AGM without prior consultation. It has not been debated by BCA's National Council. At a national level we do not know whether our elected representatives think this is a good idea or not.
Currently, the BCA has club individual members (all members of BCA member clubs are CIM's) and Direct Individual members who join the BCA directly; DIM's, all of whom have a vote in any ballot. Additionally, clubs, regional councils and other bodies known as Groups have one vote in any ballot. Regional Councils also represent member clubs at the BCA Council along with the other specialist groups.
The retention of the group vote and representation at BCA Council level is important for clubs and cavers as they have no other representation at council meetings other than the four representatives elected at the AGM.
The BCA Constitution is based on a club structure via regional councils which is recognised by the constitution of the BCA. A move to an organisation of individual members will likely see the removal of this recognition in favour of a centrally controlled regulatory organisation dominated by individuals to the disadvantage of the ordinary club caver who cares nothing for national caving politics and only wants to go caving.
The caving club has long formed the backbone of British Caving with its members trusting to their elected committee to deal with caving politics in whatever form they may occur. The caver kitted up and stood outside the cave entrance trust to their club and regional council to ensure they have continued access to that cave irrespective to how much politics it took to gain that access.
The proposed change to the constitution was passed at the BCA AGM by a very narrow margin and not everyone is in favour of such a fundamental change to the structure of caving as we know it and which has kept caving and cavers free to carry on what they love and enjoy with the minimum of interference.
Below are the changes which will be the subject of the ballot:
Abolish the house of groups in BCA AGM votes and ballots and the club vote along with it.
This is a shift away from a representative democracy towards a direct democracy. In effect issues will be decided by referendum which, as recent history shows, has its problems.
A responsibility is placed on the individual caver to engage with and understand the issues before voting. Many will but most would prefer to just go caving and leave the politics to their elected representatives.
Remove postal ballots so that all ballots will be conducted as online Ballots. There will not be a postal ballot. This will disenfranchise those members who do not wish to give their email address to the BCA (currently approx. 2000 members fall into this category)
Putting all proposals at the AGM that gain more than 25% of the vote out to an online ballot of all members. Currently constitutional changes that pass, getting 70% must go to a ballot. Non- constitutional proposals that pass, getting 50% go to a ballot if the AGM chooses.
This change will result in members being balloted far more frequently which is possibly a good thing but it does seem daft to ballot members on proposals that have so little support that they fail to be passed by the AGM.
Group Membership applications no longer taken at any General Meeting.
Contested election of Officers will go to an online ballot of all members. Thus it will be weeks if not months before the posts are filled.
Makes it ambiguous if the Chairman of a General Meeting has a casting vote. Currently they don't.
Removes the paragraph detailing how a ballot of the membership shall be conducted. This removes the option of a postal ballot in the process.
Upon dissolution, the plan for dissolution must gain 75% of the votes in an online ballot of the membership. Currently more than 75% of the vote at a special meeting convened for the purpose is required. At the point of dissolution the organisation might not have the resources or the time to conduct a ballot.
The CSCC is once again accused of being negative and resisting change, we do not see it that way, we are working to ensure the continuation of British Caving as we know it and not to promote some hidden agenda where individuals rule the roost and access and insurance could be used to force cavers to toe the party line.
It is therefore very important that, when you receive the ballot paper, you consider your vote carefully.
CSCC recommends that you vote against the removal of the group vote and its associated constitutional changes and show support for the retention of British caving as we know it, now and into the future. This recommendation was agreed unanimously at the last CSCC meeting.
Whatever your view, PLEASE VOTE. Every vote is crucial. Engage with your members and encourage them to vote as well.

We're coming upon the ultimate beach weekend. Here are a few things that are essential for sitting in the sand. Cause, let's be honest. We go to Oak Island … we'll be sitting in the sand and staying out of the water. I don't spend a ton of money on our beach supplies, so all of these items are $25 or less. I lost my favorite pair of sunglasses in a wave a couple years ago, and I'm still not over it. So, I go super cheap for the beach.
Happy weekend and Happy Fourth of July!

As if Larry the No 10 mouser hasn't got enough on his food bowl dealing with a ferocious feline from the Foreign Office, there is now a new cat on the block.
Gladstone, a former stray from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, has moved in next door at the Treasury.
Named after the former Liberal prime minister, William Gladstone, the black cat's official Instagram page describes him as "the most popular colleague at Her Majesty's Treasury, where I catch mice and receive cuddles". In one picture caption Gladstone is described as a moggie with "#catitude". Gladstone, who was known as Timmy before his adoption, will find himself pitched into an intensifying battle to be Whitehall's top cat.

Pac-12 Week 1 Preview and Predictions
Braden Gall
The Pac-12 is in the best position to challenge the SEC's strangle-hold on college football. Both USC and Oregon are ranked in the top five and have eyes not only on the Pac-12 title, but also the BCS National Championship. The Trojans are the nation's No. 1 team but the Ducks are the three-time defending conference champs. Something has to give. Additionally, this league added four new head coaches that will bring electric new offenses to a conference that already gives defensive coordinators nightmares. While there isn't a marquee showdown in Week 1 like years past, there are still plenty of intriguing match-ups that could be closer than the experts think.
Pac-12's Top 10 Storylines to Watch in Week 1:
1. Lane Kiffin's Quest for a National Championship
The high profile coach has been dealing with maturity questions since leaving Tennessee in unorthodox fashion in 2010. After recruiting and coaching in the face of NCAA sanctions, his 2011 team showed marked improvement after the five-loss debut of two years ago. With Matt Barkley's return to Heritage Hall, Kiffin has all the pieces in place to challenge the SEC's run at national supremacy. A trip to the championship game would begin to validate his brash attitude and coaching style. The Hawaii Warriors and new head coach Norm Chow — who is a former Kiffin co-worker at USC — won't pose much of a threat this weekend, but Barkley's Heisman campaign and Kiffin's quest for a championship begins in primetime on FOX's first-ever network regular-season college football broadcast.
2. The West Coast gets more offensive
The Pac-12 has always been labeled as an offensive-minded conference that fails to play elite defense. While that argument may never have a definitive answer, one thing is certain: The league's four new head coaches will cause plenty of additional headaches for defensive coordinators. Mike Leach, Rich Rodriguez and Todd Graham are widely considered three of the top offensive minds in the game today and all three will begin their tenures this weekend. Leach's air raid, RichRod's zone read option and Graham's spread will do nothing to shift the national perspective that this is an offensive league only. While Jim Mora Jr., may not be thought of on the same level in terms of game-planning as his three new Pac-12 peers, his offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone should do plenty to ignite a recently dormant UCLA offense.
3. What will life be like without Andrew Luck?
The best pro prospect since John Elway has traded in his Cardinal red for Colts blue, leaving David Shaw and Stanford with arguably the biggest void in the nation. Junior Josh Nunes battled with sophomore Brett Nottingham all summer long for the right to fill those big shoes and Shaw named the 6-foot-4, 216-pound Nunes the starter. When he attempts his first throw Friday night against San Jose State it will be his first pass since November 20, 2010, and so some rust should be expected. The Spartans should rollover relatively easily, so it is a perfect chance for Nunes to ease his way into the starting line-up. However, on a team that has gone 23-3 over the last two seasons under Luck's leadership, the pressure to win on The Farm has reached unprecedented levels. Nunes needs to prove quickly that he will be ready for Pac-12 play. USC comes to town in Week 3.
4. Redshirt freshmen set to lead conference contenders
Okay, calling UCLA a conference contender might be a small reach in 2012. Yet, the two teams that met in the inaugural Pac-12 title game will turn their hopes for a return trip over to redshirt freshmen quarterbacks. The Bruins will start Brett Hundley, a 6-foot-4, 225-pound Chandler, Ariz., native, against Rice on the road to open the year. He is charged with stabilizing a position that has been a complete mess for the better part of a decade. Meanwhile, national title hopeful Oregon will unleash Marcus Mariota on the Arkansas State Red Wolves. Mariota is a dynamic 6-foot-4, 195-pound dual-threat who has drawn Dennis Dixon comparisons — and possibly forced Darron Thomas to declare early for the NFL. Both players are highly-touted, upside prospects who enter the starting line-up with loads of expectations. And pressure to win.
5. Fireworks-a-plenty in Provo
Mike Leach, a former BYU undergraduate who learned his craft from famous Cougars LaVell Edwards and Norm Chow, returns to Provo with an offense that could be one of the most dangerous in the nation. Jeff Tuel and a host of talented receivers will give Bronco Mendenhall, who is also the defensive coordinator at BYU, all he can handle. The blue and white Cougars won nine of their final 10 games last fall, but against the top two offenses it faced, Utah and TCU, Mendenhall's defense allowed 92 points in two losses. Washington State will also struggle to stop Riley Nelson and company, but Leach understands this game could decide bowl eligibility at the end of the yeart. Wazzu will keep this one much closer than the two-touchdown spread indicates and just might pull the upset outright.
6. Early barometer for reworked Husky defense
There are a lot of new faces playing for and coaching the Washington defense this fall. Justin Wilcox, Peter Simon and Tosh Lupoi were off-season hires that made national waves for Steve Sarkisian. After allowing 777 total yards of offense and 67 points in the bowl loss to Baylor, Coach Sark knew something had to be done. Six new starters, including uber-recruit Shaq Thompson, will be asked to execute the new staff's scheme in an effort to improve last season's 106th-rated defense. And while San Diego State won't come close to the upset, Wilcox should get a quality gauge of his unit's development against former Pac-12 passer Ryan Katz. The Aztecs are used to being a competitive team and have been strong on offense over the last few years, so Coach Sark should get a solid picture of his defense right out of the gate. A strong showing will lead to optimism heading into a Week 2 trip to LSU. A poor showing against the Oregon State transfer will have Les Miles licking his chops.
7. Is Jeff Tedford's job at stake in Week 1?
The last time Nevada and Cal got together, Colin Kaepernick and the Wolfpack rolled-up 316 yards rushing and 52 points in a home win over the Bears. Two seasons later, Jeff Tedford enters the season needing to win and show improvement to keep the temperature on his coaching seat to a minimum. While Kaepernick is now in the NFL, Chris Ault's pistol system has a new star in quarterback Cody Fajardo – who led the team in rushing and scored 11 touchdowns on the ground last fall as a freshman. Tedford also turned to the ground game down the stretch last fall and Isi Solfele led this team to a bowl after a 3-1 finish to the season. The Golden Bears will once again need the rushing game in order to take pressure off starting quarterback Zach Maynard and a rebuilt, Mychal Kendricks-less defense.
8. Upset Alert: RichRod's offense better be ready
Rich Rodriguez begins his tenure as the Arizona Wildcats head coach on upset alert against the Toledo Rockets. His offense, led by a senior dual-threat quarterback, five returning starters along the offensive line and a future star in tailback Ka'Deem Carey, will need to be sharp right out of the gate to beat the MAC contender. Toledo averaged over 42 points per game last year on offense, and while wideout Eric Page and coach Tim Beckman are no longer present, the Rockets will still be able to score plenty under new coach Matt Campbell. This should be a high-scoring affair with plenty of big plays, so the Wildcats' Matt Scott will have to play well in the new zone read scheme.
9. Gus Malzahn vs. Chip Kelly, Part II
It wasn't that long ago that Guz Malzahn was standing on the sidelines of the national championship game watching Michael Dyer pirouette his way to a BCS Championship Game MVP award. Chip Kelly was there, too. And there is no chance Kelly has forgotten that night. The Red Wolves of Arkansas State could be in for a long night as Kelly, defensive coordinator Nick Allioti and Kenjon Barner exact their revenge on the former Auburn offensive coordinator. The first half should be entertaining as Mariota and Ryan Aplin go head-to-head, but the second half could be a bloody Red Wolf massacre.
10. Can Utah find a passing game?
The Utes are considered the top challenger to USC in the Pac-12 South this fall. They have one of the league's top defenses and a record-setting tailback in John White. Yet, this team was incredibly one-dimensional last fall once quarterback Jordan Wynn got injured. If Utah and Kyle Whittingham expect to compete with Barkley and Kiffin, a more balanced offense is a must. Wynn won't need to be great against Northern Colorado, but should he play poorly — or as soon as the game gets out of hand — fans should expect a long look at heralded freshman back-up Travis Wilson.

2 hospitalized after heavy turbulence on American flight
Maeve McDermott
A passenger and a flight attendant were hospitalized after an American Airlines flight hit heavy turbulence and was diverted to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport Wednesday night.
Flight 5781, an American Eagle flight operated by Mesa Airlines, landed safely in Texas after encountering weather issues, American Airlines told USA TODAY.
The plane was carrying 75 passengers and 4 crew members and departed from San Luis Potosi, Mexico, en route to Dallas/Fort Worth.
American Airlines stated: "During the diversion to Austin, the flight encountered turbulence. The Bombardier CRJ-900 aircraft landed safely at 5:39 p.m. CT, and taxied to the gate."
The passenger and flight attendant were transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to a statement from Austin-Travis County EMS. Both were released later Wednesday night.
All passengers were cleared by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in Austin and were provided with hotel accommodations before traveling to Dallas/Fort Worth Thursday, airport officials told CBS News and the Austin Statesman.


We are 1150 miles into the trip with 450 to go. A few small bumps here and there, but pretty good so far up here at 29,000 feet.
Temperature I'm the ground in Denver should be I'm the 80s. Positively chilly!
We are all here having a great time at Matt and Heidi's wedding in Kennebunk Beach. Wish you were here!
Apparently the powers that be have decided Kevin and I are best suited for watching the kids at the beach among the lust of wedding prep chores. Tough duty!
Enjoying a table by the window at Federal Jack's. Good food, good beer, great kids!
The family has gathered here in Maine for another summer vacation. We've had 30 or so years up here so far in various houses near Kennebunkport. As a neighbor said yesterday, "Oh you've got Maine blood in you now."
We can find things to do on days that are a bit cool and gray like yesterday. A bit of shopping in Freeport or Kittery, some biking or a quick, fully-clothed run on the beach all fill the day nicely. Take out lobster dinner, reading books, debating reality TV and watching kids play Wii rounds out the evening.
There will be a better day for the beach, a warmer night to go to town. After 30 years we know that it's ok to sit at home for a night. It's part of the reason we're here.
My brother Matt, who's getting married to his sweetheart Heidi this week, and I talked about the pull of Maine on our family last week. We agreed it's a romance with a place. WIth the tight clean lines of the houses, the gray rocks and cold water along the beaches, the colorful shops, good beer and crowded sidewalks. It's where we come to renew and recharge, take photos and listen to music, write in journals and devour novels.
The air is cleaner, the people more open, the sunsets just a little bit brighter. Sure there are mosquitoes, and racoons in the trash and family all on top of each other, but it's ok because we're here in a place we all came to love in our own way and time.
Just outside Hartford, CT on our way to Maine and look what we saw!

Q: Recursively search networkx graph A question about recursion (and tangentially the graphing library networkx): I have an directed graph with node that have edges that have an attribute ["value"] that can be 0 or 1 (effectively edge weights).
I want to be able to examine a node's neighbor recursively until a neighbor's node fails a certain threshold. For example:
def checkAll(x):
    for neighbor in graph.neighbors(x):
         if neighbor is bad:
             fail
         else:
            checkAll(neighbor)
         #add all good neighbors here? This isn't working!

I'm failing at recursion, basically, I think because of the way the "for" loop is done. Can I get some help? (I looked at this other SO post but it didn't seem particularly relevant?)
Thank you!

A: disclaimer : I don't know anything about networkx, but from my understanding of your problem, maybe this can help:
def examine(node, neighbors_list)

    for neighbor in graph.neighbors(node):
        if graph[x]["neighbor"]["value"] = 1:
            return
        else:
            neighbors_list.append(neighbor)
            examine(neighbor, neighbors_list)

x = parent_node

neighbors = []
examine(x, neighbors)

Somewhere up in the hills is a group of true believers – believers in God and sin testing themselves to show their purity. Old fashioned snake handlers, with no love or tolerance for the outside world. Lonely, secretive bartender Charlotte's (Emma Greenwell) sister has disappeared up there somewhere, though, and she and her reluctant companion (Brendan McCarthy) are going to find out where.
Fans of the Butcher Brothers could certainly expect to be forgiven for expecting a blood-soaked romp of crazy cult killing and mad rituals out such a set up. For his newest film, co-writer/director Mitchell Altieri (one half of the Butcher Brother team) has gone a far more meditative, character driven route, however. And if the fit isn't exactly good here, there are enough suggestions at the edges that he will be getting better with future films.
The shift should be clear enough right from the start as Charlotte's raspy voiceover introduces us to her and the battered Wayne, an Afghanistan war vet still dealing with PTSD with a big helping of Johnny Walker. Charlotte has decided he is going to help her whether he likes it or not, and Charlotte tends to get his way.
What she needs him to do is accompany her up to the mountains where her drug addict sister has joined the revivalist community of Brother Billy (co-writer Joe Egender).
It's when Billy arrives that Holy Ghost People is at its a best. A swaggering messiah who oozes charm, Altieri and Egender have crafted a well-rounded villain who sees a kindred spirit in Wayne – whether Wayne likes it or not.
Unfortunately, when Billy isn't around, the film slows quite a bit. Meditative is a good way to describe the experience. A not so good way is to describe the film as unfinished. There is just enough plot to get Charlotte and Wayne up to the mountain and then it stops dead waiting for the end. That would be fine if Holy Ghost People were the kind of character study it seems like it wants to be. But Wayne is too quiet and contemplative to let us in on what he's thinking, and Charlotte's back story is held on for so long to create a third act twist, there's not enough left to fill the space with. You're often left with a great sense of waiting for what feels like a solid pay off, but it never comes.
And then it turns into The Wicker Man.
Old school horror fans probably won't get what they're looking for out of Holy Ghost People, and neither will mainstream moviegoers. The production is slick and the film is beautifully shot, but it's missing that spark to become more. Still, it's nice to see a filmmaker stretching his wings, and even if it doesn't work great, it portends good things to come.

On Tuesday we fasted for Shivah Assar B'Tammuz, marking the beginning of saddest weeks of the Jewish calendar. During the three weeks, and leading up to Tisha B'av, we mourn the destruction of Jerusalem and the Bais Hamikdash, the holy Temple, and our current exile in galus.
Our sages teach us the importance of feeling a deep longing for for mashiach and the days of redemption. But achieving that seep inner longing is much easier said than done. How does one go about feeling that burning desire in the depths of their heart? How does one really learn to feel that yearning?
The answers lie within Yearning With Fire by Rabbi Heshy Kleinman, author of the best-selling and revolutionary Praying With Fire books.The deep insights and inspirational messages surrounding this important topic are broken down into daily learning segments. In just five minutes each day, you can change your outlook on life, and approach this Tisha B'av with the proper thoughts and feelings about galus and geulah.
To help you prepare for the nine days and tisha b'av, we're offering you a sampler download of Yearning With Fire. Download it. Print it. Learn it. Be inspired! And of course, please tell your friends about this valuable resource available from ArtScroll: every Thursday we offer an inspirational Torah download, related to the weekly parasha or other timely topics.

Hi Natalie! Thank you for being a part of our interview process! We are excited to have you here!
Which artists' styles do you love most?
I really don't follow fashion so much. But I would say that I like Beyonce's style. Her style exudes power.
Is there a song that brings you to tears?
I have two songs that bring me to tears. They are songs that I have written. "I Told You No" and "I'm Not Ready". They both stem from painful personal experiences.
What is the most meaningful song/album you've ever written?
The most meaningful song would be "I Am" and the most meaningful album would be my latest album "Where Do We Go From Here?" Both took some time to write and they are very meaningful to me.
What is a musical piece of work that has made a profound impact on you?
Stormy Weather by Lena Horne. This is the song that inspired me to go into the music business. It's not easy to sing and it is beautiful.
What is a cause that is near and dear to your heart?
The female empowerment movement is dear to my heart. It seems that we are always fighting for our rights. I think that women are beautiful and strong. We should be seen this way.
What is something that most people don't know about you?
Early on in my life, I was quite shy!!
Please tell our readers how to keep in touch with you and your latest music releases!!

A Columbia Professor Grades Trump's Economic Policy
Jeffrey Sachs, from the Rust Belt himself, shares his thoughts on Trump's economic plans and shares some red flags to watch for as new policy proposals surface.

The Rust Belt was promised a lot this election – will those promises, which are now transitioning into policies, be made good? Economist and UN advisor Jeffrey Sachs is a Rust Belt native himself, and believes it's in the hands of people in that area to take an informed look at the economic proposals of the Trump administration – will these proposals benefit the average person, or is there misdirection and populist scapegoating at play that will only serve to make the rich richer? Sachs provides some red markers to watch for when listening to policy proposals, and offers a question to keep in mind: "Who is going to pay for that tax break?" It may not be the answer the people of the Rust Belt signed up for. Jeffrey Sachs's most recent book is Building the New American Economy: Smart, Fair, and Sustainable.
Jeffrey Sachs: If you're from the rust belt the first thing I would say is so am I. I'm a Detroiter. And so I understand the situation in the rust belt and it's a bad situation. Now Donald Trump won votes there by saying I'm going to fix your situation and he said how he proposes to do it. He said you're suffering because China has taken advantage of us, bad trade deals because of migrants in our country, because of Mexico and NAFTA and our jobs going overseas and so forth.
I'd give that a rounded D, you know. Probably passing for effort but obviously didn't do much reading and doesn't really understand economics very much. The first thing I would say is, "Donald, you're my student. Didn't you read about the widening income inequality in the country – that as those voters in the rust belt are suffering your buddies, the billionaires that you put in the cabinet they're having the time of their lives. How about remembering that in your essay?"
The point I would say to the rust belt is you have now heard the words of a typical populist. A populist looks at a real problem and says it's the foreigners that caused it. It's the other people that caused it. A populist always is looking for misdirection for the enemy. It's kind of like a magic act where the magician tries to make you look over here while they're stealing out of your pocket on the other side. That's what's going on in America right now.
The problem with populism is it doesn't work. So he may try to beat up on China, good luck to us. We could end up with a real global crisis if they try that. He could try to beat up on Mexico. Probably a little bit more success in the sense of doing harm to others but we'd have a pretty bad backlash as well. But what he can't do is solve your rust belt problems that way. That he can't do
So I would say, you know, now it's your turn to grade the paper because you're going to be watching Donald turn in weekly exam papers and so you're going to have to be grading him. Who are the beneficiaries of his actions? Are the rich going to get richer? How many jobs do you really think are coming home? If Ford says, "Okay, we won't invest in Mexico, we'll invest in the U.S." and that creates 700 jobs for a $700 million investment, one job per million dollars. How far are we going to get that way?
You're going to be the graders now and I would say think hard and seriously. Are you watching gimmicks? Are tweets going to solve your problem or are you hearing solutions that are not solutions for a few rich people but are solutions for you? And one more thing I would recommend to Americans. He's going to come across and say, "I'm going to cut your taxes and I'm going to cut the rich people's taxes. I'm going to cut everybody's taxes." And Americans will say, "Whoa, that's wonderful. That's great." But then they should think for a moment. "Okay, well isn't that going to raise the deficit? Okay, isn't that going to be a lot of more public debt? Yeah. Who's going to pay for that? My kids?" Or if you're a young millennial; "I'm going to pay for that! What the heck is that – giving tax breaks to 70-year-old friends of our 70-year-old president and leaving me with the debt?"
So that I think is how we're going to have to grade this government. And so far they don't do their homework. They don't do their reading. They haven't really studied very hard and so far if they're passing it's close to failing.

Neurosis and Human Growth : The Struggle Towards Self-Realization
Krátky popis Exkluzívní produkt Neurosis and Human Growth : The Struggle Towards Self-Realization od výrobce WW Norton & Co u nás najdete téměř zadarmo od 494 Kč
WW Norton & Co
Karen Horney was born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1885 and studied at the University of Berlin, receiving her medical degree in 1913. From 1914 to 1918 she studied psychiatry at Berlin-Lankwitz, Germany, and from 1918 to 1932 taught at the Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute. She participated in many international congresses, among them the historic discussion of lay analysis, chaired by Sigmund Freud. Dr. Horney came to the United States in 1932 and for two years was Associate Director of the Psychoanalytic Institute, Chicago. In 1934 she came to New York and was a member of the teaching staff of the New York Psychoanalytic Institute until 1941, when she became one of the founders of the Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis and the American Institute for Psychoanalysis. In Neurosis and Human Growth, Dr. Horney discusses the neurotic process as a special form of the human development, the antithesis of healthy growth. She unfolds the different stages of this situation, describing neurotic claims, the tyranny or inner dictates and the neurotic's solutions for relieving the tensions of conflict in such emotional attitudes as domination, self-effacement, dependency, or resignation. Throughout, she outlines with penetrating insight the forces that work for and against the person's realization of his or her potentialities. This 40th Anniversary Edition includes a new preface by Stephanie Steinfeld, Ph. D. , and Jeffrey Rubin, M. D. , of the American Institute for Psychoanalysis.

Examining the different types of ear surgery
Individuals looking to add a little oomph to their ears are in luck, as there exist a number of procedures specifically geared toward restructuring these prominent lobes. While some patients are looking to correct ears that are seemingly too large or misshapen, others seek procedures that will allow them to don unusual shapes based on their favorite fictional characters.
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reported that in 2013, more than 40,000 individuals opted for this procedure, making it the 11th most popular operation of the year. Additionally, this was the fifth most common surgery among males, with men accounting for more than 38 percent of all otoplasties.
Ear surgeries can be corrective, reconstructive or cosmetic, so patients considering this option should learn about the different courses of action for this procedure.
Opting for an otoplasty
Otoplasties, or ear reshaping operations, encompass a variety of nips and tucks for the ears. These procedures can correct misshapen, uneven or disproportionately sized ears and, according to Smart Beauty Guide, are essential for boosting self confidence, especially in younger patients. Ear pinning, for example, is ideal for those who feel as though their ears stick out too much. This procedure flattens the ears, allowing for them to be more level with the rest of the patient's head. Repositioning is where a surgeon makes the ears more flush, while reshaping can decrease the appearance of oversized ears.
Generally, otoplasties can have a significant effect on one's facial symmetry and self-confidence, and results are typically long-lasting.
Corrective ear surgery for gauged ears
Gauged ears have become increasingly popular in the last 10 years. People are opting for large holes in their earlobes, and while this trend may look cool at the time, older adults have expressed their regret for jumping on this bandwagon during their younger years. Dylan Olson, a 21-year-old resident of Salt Lake City, had gauges in his ears that were an inch and three quarters in diameter. He explained to local news source KSL that he had to get plastic surgery to correct his lobes, as gauges without earrings can cause an unsightly appearance.
"My ears looked pretty even, pretty balanced," Olson said to the source. "They looked great and I had the ear lobes left that I wanted."
Olson added that while he thought the look was cool as a teenager, he didn't realize how much it would affect his life as an adult. He detailed how one company refused to interview him because of his ears, causing him to reconsider what permanent alterations he made to his appearance. The US Military also does not allow stretched or enlarged ear holes in men or women.
Passionate fans ask for pointed ears
Whether they're inspired by the pointers of Spock or the listeners of wood elves, a rising number of passionate science fiction fans have flocked to the surgeon to alter the shape of their ears, ABC News reported. Although this group only makes up a very small portion of the population, one plastic surgeon warned that this type of operation can lead to serious health detriments, such as severe pain or infection. One man who had the surgery, however, reported that his hearing and focus had both improved due to the animal-like new shape. Patients should be sure to discuss all possible outcomes with board-certified surgeons before opting for a procedure that would radically alter the structure of their ears.
Rhinoplasty: How Gender Plays A Roll In Your Nose Surgery
A nose is a nose is a nose. And while most are fairly good at accomplishing their basic functions—breathing, smelling, sending important messages to the brain like "eat this" and "don't eat this"—for some people that's just not enough. No, some people also want their noses to bring a certain je ne sais quoi to the proverbial party. And not all je ne sais quoi is created equal, is it?
Rhinoplasty: Do's and Don'ts For A Successful Nose Surgery Recovery
We hope you're the commitment type, because deciding to have rhinoplasty (or any cosmetic procedure, for that matter) requires a heck of a lot of it. You'll need to commit to choosing the right board-certified plastic surgeon, commit to researching and understanding your procedure, and commit to your desired outcome… you know… a reshaped nose.

Moscow State University (MSU) is one of the leading centres of Russian science and culture. The university gained status of Russian self-administered (autonomous) higher educational institution in 1992, when the President of the Russian Federation signed an appropriate decree.
The Main Building of Moscow State University (MB=GZ "Glavnoe Zdanie" in Russian) was designed by an architect – Rudnev Lev Vlavimirovich –, whose projects include various buildings all around Moscow and restoration of many Russian cities damaged during World War II. But Main Building design remains the masterpiece of Rudnev's creativity; the architect paid much attention to the harmonious combination of future building with its environment.
Moscow State University is a major traditional educational institution in Russia, it offers training in almost all branches of modern science and humanities. Its undergraduates may choose one of 57 qualifications, while doctoral students may specialize in 168 different areas. The total number of MSU students exceeds 40,000; besides, about 10,000 high school students attend various clubs and courses at MSU.

Translations - Table headers
Updates to the Show Estimate section
As part of our continued work, we made more enhancements related to language translations from English to French Canadian and Mexican Spanish. During this release, we provided translations for additional table headers.
We made the following changes to the Show Estimate section in order to provide clarity and reduce any confusion for new users.
The radio button SHOW ESTIMATE has been renamed to ESTIMATE and the section header has been changed from Show Estimate to Estimate Versions. These changes were to more accurately reflect the information in this section. We also added more information to the message shown when no estimates are present; it now reads "No estimate versions have been created for this case. Complete the REQUEST APPROVAL or SHARE APPROVAL STATUS actions to send an estimate version to the customer." Additionally, we added a link to Preview Estimate.
Note: The SHARE APPROVAL STATUS option mentioned above is part of the new operations and approvals table project that is currently in pilot.
COMING SOON: Data Privacy and Compliance
More information on this new initiative will be coming soon, however, we wanted to give you a quick heads-up about this future change. After the first of the year, we will start implementing a data privacy control feature that will allow you to select your data privacy and cookie settings for our applications.
Please note that we will continue with regularly scheduled work throughout the end of the year, but our deployment schedule will change. Our last release of the year will be December 8, and the additional work done will be combined and deployed during the first week of 2023. Our regular deployment schedule will resume mid-January.
Please note that we will continue our Top-liner schedule as normal (every 2 weeks).
