Brasil, Chile Rugby League dealt big blows by COVID-19
Home / Brazil / Brasil, Chile Rugby League dealt big blows by COVID-19

Brazil Chile Hot news In Focus Latest News Latin Heat
BRASIL Rugby League has suffered a triple blow due to COVID-19, with an international game against Chile cancelled, talks with a potential World Cup sponsor put on ice, and a national talent camp to face big changes.
Brasil and Chile received International Rugby League (IRL) sanctioning just 10 days ago for a men's game between the two nations to be held alongside the Ipswich Jets versus PNG Hunters game on May 9.
Today's cancellation of all Queensland Rugby League (QRL) major competitions until June 5 due to COVID-19 was just one of a number of factors that led to the decision to halt the Brasil-Chile game.
"The whole situation has escalated so rapidly that we didn't even have a chance to properly announce the game before it was cancelled," said Brasil football manager Robert Burgin.
"To their credit the IRL worked with us in giving the green light to the game on short notice and adding it to the international calendar so we could join a day of multicultural celebration for Ipswich and PNG.
"If you'd said to us even a week ago that the game would be cancelled because of COVID-19 concerns, we would have been disbelieving.
"But the reality is already starting to hit home and the financial and family pressures on some of our players is clearly evident.
"We have some players who work in the fitness industry who have lost half their clientele in one week, others who will be deeply impacted by travel restrictions, and making group bookings in advance with any certainty has become extremely difficult."
Both countries hope to reschedule a game for later in the year, possibly alongside fixtures for other Latin American nations and youth teams.
In an added blow to Brasil, its history-making women's team – drawn to face England in the opening game of the 2021 World Cup – has had to postpone discussions with a potential major sponsor.
The sponsor, a significant player in the international travel market, also cited COVID-19 and the associated economic downturn as reason for freezing discussions which had progressed over several months.
"In a long-term sense, that is probably the bigger blow," admitted Burgin.
"The World Cup appearance by the women is a massive opportunity in all senses, and landing major sponsors is critical to not only our preparation for the tournament, but also the legacy for rugby league in Brasil – and in fact, Latin America by association.
"We're not a one-trick pony and we have other organisations to talk to, but approaching any business right now about sponsorship is a tough task.
"We also have national talent development camps coming up in April in Sao Lourenco and, although we are determined to press ahead, there are some key personnel who have had to forego travel.
"That's a developing situation and we are confident of arranging alternatives, but it's not ideal."
For their part, Chile's men's side is still looking at playing the Philippines in Sydney later in the season.
The Weichafes have also booked a spot for a November 10 Americas Cup showdown in Jamaica.
Colombia is continuing its intention to host a Latin American championship in November 11-15 near the city of Medellin, with between three and five other nations set to travel for the event.

Here is just a short list of articles on coastal flooding and erosion in the Northeast. While local politicians and some shoreline residents point at a breach at The Old Inlet as the source of their flooding woes, a much larger picture, as large as climate change itself is starting to emerge. With all that is happening, we need a federal plan to address a slow motion regional disaster now.
Please add your own links to other coastal flooding stories from this winter. We are seeing coastal flooding and beach erosion literally from Florida to Maine. Those calling for a closure of the breach at The Old Inlet on Fire Island, believing that it is the source of their continued flooding woes need to compare notes. The evidence, the data does not at all support the notion that the breach is contributing to the flooding? But the flooding itself? It is everywhere, therefore a federal response is necessary. Governor Cuomo's call for $400 mil to raise homes and buy out flooded owners must become law, for starters.
People who think the breach was the cause of the flooding are probably the ones who think dredging the bay will lower its water level. Attacking this notion is a strawman arguement for your crusade to leave the breach open. What excacerbates the flooding is the size of the apertures when wind and barometric pressure push water into the NY bight.

The breach will not be open for long anyway. Sand migrates east to west, and will eventually seal the breach ; – until the Next storm.
In addition, this picture of minor street flooding is misleading, in that this water level ( or much more) has occurred historically in every coastal community worldwide.

I admit it. I loved School House Rock as a kid, especially the one where a bill becomes a law (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nKyihoV9z8). This year, thanks to the work of the Colorado Nonprofit Association and in collaboration with Mile High United Way, Community First Foundation was a part of passing a bill into a law. HB1190 became a law on May 3rd, when Governor Hickenlooper signed it.
What this means is that donors can make donations via a nonprofit such as Mile High United Way or ColoradoGives.org to pre-approved Enterprise Zone organizations. Donors then receive the additional tax credit available.
The process to pass a bill was almost exactly like they talk about in the video. It started as an idea after we worked with the Department of Revenue and the various Enterprise Zone Administrators to better understand how donations through intermediaries such as these two should be viewed for tax purposes. Colorado Nonprofit Association, along with their legislative group Aponte & Busam, worked to put the correct language together and called on a Representative and a Senator to take this bill forward to the legislature. Rep. Dominick Moreno and Senator Rollie Health saw this as a way to assist their constituents both from the nonprofit and donor sides.
The bill was introduced into the House on January 31st with a first reading. It was then assigned to the Finance and Appropriations Committees. The Finance Committee meeting was held February 21st with testimony from Kenneth Kirwin (Community First Foundation), Leslie Hannon (Mile High United Way), Victoria McVicker (SafeHouse Denver), and Mag Strittmatter (The Action Center), as well as Ken Summers (Teen Challenge Rocky Mountains). It passed unanimously. Then the bill went on to Appropriations where it also passed unanimously without testimony on March 8th. The final step on the House side was a full house vote which passed unanimously on March 18th. But that is only a third of the equation.
Next step was on to the Senate, introduced on March 20,th where it was assigned to the Business, Labor & Technology committee. Again, Ken, Leslie, Victoria and Mag testified about the need for this bill. Again, it passed unanimously on April 9th. Back to the full Senate, where on April 17th it was passed unanimously. I mention the unanimously only because we are extremely excited that this was supported by all legislators on both sides.
Finally, the group gathered for one final time on May 3 in the Governor's Office and he signed it! Our bill became a law.

Dutch court
defers decision on
English in universities
An interesting read for those contemplating the issues and outcomes of English-medium instruction.
By Rosemary Salomone
University World News Issue Issue No:516
http://www.universityworldnews.com/article.php?story=20180724140627526
A recent court decision in the Netherlands says as much about the potential and limits of court action in shaping education policy as it does about the legal status of English-language programmes in Dutch universities.
What seemed on the surface as a 'win' for the University of Twente and Maastricht University was really a move by the court to reserve final judgment in a case where the law itself was unclear, the underlying facts were not yet fully resolved, the evidence presented was not sufficiently detailed to support the claims and the political process seemed to be working towards a resolution.
To understand the court's reasoning and its implications, you need to first look at the political backdrop and the events leading up to the litigation over the course of several years.
Universities throughout the world are increasingly moving towards teaching in English in the name of internationalisation. Perhaps nowhere has this movement been more pronounced than in the Netherlands where 74% of masters and 23% of bachelor degree programmes are now totally taught in English, a move which intentionally draws students from across the globe.
Close to 90,000 or upwards of 17% of the overall student population in Dutch universities is now made up of international students. The postgraduate numbers are considerably higher, close to 50% for PhD students. At Maastricht University where all masters programmes are offered only in English, 58% of the student population is from outside the country.
These figures may not sound cataclysmic in a country where 90% of the population reports that they speak English fluently. Yet the more international students these programmes attract, the more compelling the justification to further expand them has become. The further the programmes expand, the larger the numbers of international students flocking to the Netherlands.
This seemingly endless cycle has raised concerns, given budgetary constraints, as to the accessibility and quality of higher education offered to Dutch students and the loss of the Dutch language as a vehicle for intellectual engagement and knowledge production.
Calls to protect the Dutch language
At the heart of the issues raised in the recent litigation is Article 7.2 of the Higher Education Law, adopted in 1991, which states that teaching and examinations must be conducted in Dutch except if the training is related to another language or in the context of a lecture given by a foreign teacher, or if the specific nature, organisation or quality of teaching or the nationality of the students so requires, according to a code of conduct adopted by the university's executive board.
Over the past three years, concerns over English-taught programmes in the Netherlands and their relation to internationalisation have provoked a vigorous debate that has captured the press and spread from campus to parliament.
A prime mover in that debate has been the association Beter Onderwijs Nederland (Better Education Netherlands), popularly known as BON. In June 2015, BON issued a 'manifesto' or 'call to action' for universities to comply with Article 7.2 and more vigorously protect the Dutch language. The document gathered close to 6,000 signatures and set in motion a series of actions.
The following December, adding fuel to the fire, a poll of 269 Dutch university students found that 60% of those questioned had encountered lecturers whose English was incomprehensible and who said that they learned less in English-taught classes than if the lecture were in Dutch.
That same month the Dutch House of Representatives addressed the question in a hearing attended by student groups and dozens of professors, scientists and writers, but apparently nothing tangible came of it.
As the debate continued to heat up, the minister of education, culture and science commissioned the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) to conduct a study on language policy in Dutch higher education.
KNAW's final report, submitted in July 2017, recommended that the decision to provide instruction in a particular language be based on "good subject-specific evidence-based reasons". It must be a "conscious choice" and "firmly anchored in a supportive language and internationalisation policy".
The report also noted that both students and lecturers "must have a good command of the language of instruction". KNAW was even more direct in a subsequent report on language in the Netherlands where it criticised the government for failing to develop a national language policy that upholds the Dutch language, looks beyond English and mobilises the multilingual skills of the Dutch people.
In May 2018, the Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU) issued a joint paper in which members agreed to place an upper limit on English-taught courses in order to take control of the number of international students and thereby protect the quality and accessibility of education for Dutch students. They also agreed to coordinate their language decisions.
The following month, the Dutch minister of education, culture and science, building on the KNAW reports and the VSNU joint paper, sent a letter to the House of Representatives echoing themes of quality and accessibility while calling on universities to take responsibility for balancing their Dutch and English course offerings.
Most importantly, the minister proposed revisions to Article 7.2 whereby institutions, when choosing a language other than Dutch, would have to consider the "added value for the quality" and the "accessibility" of education for Dutch students.
She further ordered the Dutch Inspectorate of Education, which she heads, to examine the codes of conduct that universities must develop under Article 7.2 and determine the appropriate action for individual institutions. The initial findings will inform a wider investigation into internationalisation in higher education in 2019.
It was against this yet evolving political landscape that BON brought a lawsuit, using the University of Twente and Maastricht University and their all-English psychology bachelor degree programmes as extreme examples in what also was intended to be a broader challenge to English-taught programmes and the perceived failure of the government to enforce the law.
BON claimed that the programmes impaired both the quality of teaching and the accessibility for Dutch students to higher education. It also asked the court to declare a moratorium on English-taught programmes for at least one year while the government developed a new language policy.
After addressing procedural matters and dismissing claims against the inspectorate, the court took a measured and narrow approach in weighing the interests and arguments on both sides. That weight, at least for the purposes of this lawsuit, fell on the side of the universities.
The essential problem for BON was that it failed to counter the evidence presented by the universities that their decisions were not driven solely or mainly by revenue considerations, as BON claimed, but rather by factors demanded under Article 7.2, including the international character of the field of psychology where the academic literature is largely in English and the universities' diverse student bodies for whom English is a common language.
That being said, the court reserved judgment on the larger question of whether the codes of conduct and the method of implementing them complied with Article 7.2 since the article itself does not indicate the requirements such a code must meet.
As the court noted: "It is not up to the judge to take a position in the debate on the importance of Dutch-speaking education for the quality of education."
That task the court left to the inspectorate in completing the investigation it had already started. This clear exercise of judicial restraint is not uncommon in education cases where courts recognise their limited capacity and legitimacy in deciding education matters, especially where the political actors appear to be acting in good faith.
While the two universities now claim victory, it might be short lived. The court in fact warned that once the inspectorate's investigation is completed and clearer standards for compliance with Article 7.2 are established, Dutch universities, including the University of Twente and Maastricht University, may still find themselves subject to legal claims of offering English-taught programmes "without any need", however defined in the law.
BON, on the other hand, can take credit for having energised the debate with its 2015 'manifesto' and having maintained the momentum for a political response with its repeated threats of litigation. At the same time, by deferring to the political actors, the court has implicitly placed pressure on them to keep to their word and find a workable solution to a policy problem with broad implications for higher education and for Dutch society.
It is now left to the legislature and the minister of education, culture and science to respectively clarify and update the legal standards under Article 7.2 and enforce the law in a way that more thoughtfully addresses the quality and accessibility of education offered to Dutch students and preserves the intellectual integrity of the Dutch language, while recognising the cultural and economic benefits of maintaining a diverse and international student body.
As they say, "It's not over 'til it's over." This is a case that demands continued attention as it unfolds, not just for how it ultimately affects universities in the Netherlands but for what it may generally reveal about process and substance in resolving the many issues surrounding internationalisation and English-taught programmes.

The summer marks a time in which many college and seminary graduates will find themselves entering the realm of vocational ministry to students. In preparation for the "ramp-up," which often coincides with the beginning of the school year, it is also a season in which many volunteers will find themselves taking on new roles in existing ministries. Regardless of one's level of involvement, the disciplines of study, reflection, and strategic implementation are invaluable to building a sustainable, God-glorifying ministry.
Student ministry is a field which is full of urgency. In an eternal sense, the souls of teenagers and their families weigh in the balance; there is a holy impetus to "walk in wisdom towards outsiders, making the best use of the time" (Colossians 4:5). In a temporal sense, deadlines abound. Messages must be prepared, events planned and communicated, payments collected, conflicts and misunderstandings resolved.
With so much to do, and with seemingly so little time to do it, the disciplines of study, preparation, and strategic development may appear to be secondary concerns.
As you seek to build a ministry to students upon the sure foundation of Christ's finished work, I would recommend the following six books to anyone beginning a new chapter in the context of student ministry. They are neither infallible nor all-inclusive, but they are each helpful in a unique way.
My encouragement would be to read them each within twelve months of your new beginning, even if that means using a portion of your office hours to do so (the emails will still be there afterwards!) Take notes, ask questions, and brainstorm ideas. Don't simply consume them. Inasmuch as they are faithful to Holy Scripture, let yourself be consumed by them, that God-glorifying ministry may abound as a result.
As You Go: Creating a Missional Culture of Gospel-Centered Students (Alvin L. Reid). Simply stated, no book outside of Scripture has had a more profound impact upon my philosophy and practice of student ministry than has As You Go. Reid provides a re-orientation of the scorecard of success in ministry: away from large numbers and dynamic events (though those things aren't condemned) and towards the making of disciples who are consumed by the Great Commission. Far from having implications only for student pastors, I place this book among the top five most influential books which I have read (the Bible excluded). You cannot afford to miss this work.
Real-Life Discipleship: Building Churches That Make Disciples (Jim Putnam). Though not specifically related to student ministry, Real-Life Discipleship provides an enormous wealth of knowledge regarding the theology and practice of disciple-making, both at the personal and the organizational levels. It will also prove to be a helpful resource for training ministry co-leaders to be fruitful in the work of discipling students.
Gospel-Centered Youth Ministry: A Practical Guide (Edited by Cameron Cole and Jon Nielson). With individual chapters written by a unique mixture of youth ministry practitioners, Gospel-Centered Youth Ministry is a helpful primer for a variety of student ministry-related topics. These include the role of musical worship in student ministry, advice on partnering with parents for the work of youth ministry, the best practices for student ministry service projects and mission trips, and more. Building upon the paradigm-shift put forward in works such as As You Go, Gospel-Centered Youth Ministry is immensely practical and common-sense without being devoid of theological richness.
Communicating for a Change: Seven Keys to Irresistible Communication (Andy Stanley and Lane Jones). I tend to disagree with much of this book's content, and I would not recommend it to anyone who was not already committed to Scripturally-sound, expository teaching of the full counsel of God's Word. That being said, the practical preaching considerations offered in Communicating for a Change have been invaluable in forming my approach to preaching, both to students and to the congregation as a whole. First, read chapter 3 of Gospel-Centered Youth Ministry ("The Impact of Expounding God's Word" by Eric McKiddie). Then, don't miss the opportunity to grow in a similar fashion; read Communicating for a Change.
God's Big Picture: Tracing the Storyline of the Bible (Vaughan Roberts). It's one thing to claim that Scripture is "one story," but it is quite another to understand the exact nature of that storyline. Roberts simply and elegantly identifies the central theme of Scripture as the establishment of God's Kingdom: God's People living in God's Place under God's Rule, and therefore enjoying God's Blessing. Whether you are leading a Bible study, explaining Scripture to a skeptic, or simply looking to improve your own understanding and articulation of the storyline of the Bible, God's Big Picture will prove to be an invaluable resource.

City of Vincent chief executive Len Kosova (centre) has resigned.
AFTER almost four years as City of Vincent chief executive, Len Kosova has called it quits.
Mr Kosova announced his last day as chief executive will be September 28.
In a statement, he said he wanted to spend more time with his family and explore new opportunities.
"I've spent the last 23 years working in local government, the last 16 years at an executive level and I've been especially proud of the results achieved over the past four years at Vincent," Mr Kosova said.
The City now has five months to adopt the 2018-19 budget and new Corporate Business Plan and Strategic Community Plan, and on-boarding of the new Acting Director Development Services while the current director takes seven months paternity leave before Mr Kosova leaves.
Mayor Emma Cole said Mr Kosova had "great passion, good humour and smarts".
"We've enjoyed almost four years of Len at the helm of our administration, and councillors and I greatly value the cohesive and collegiate relationship we have built as Team Vincent," she said.
"During this time together we have achieved real and meaningful change.


My first post to you. Mmmm……. How did it all started??
I think it's an inborn talent I've got or perhaps it's generic. I remember dad talking about Mont Blanc pens, Patek Philippe watches etc when I was just in my elementary school but of course, those were just names to me then. Somehow through the years, I began to develop a penchant for designer stuff…..
I got my first designer bag as soon as I got my first pay cheque – a Charles Jourdan bag. You hardly hear of it now but back in the 80s, CJ was kinda popular. In no time, I had a big collection of CJ stuff. Then I progressed to Gucci. Of course being an ex-crew does give one a headstart too. You travel the world in one of the best airlines, stay in mostly 5-star hotels, introduced to the world of caviar, Don Perignon etc, etc. Very soon, I found myself slipping into Ferragamo shoes, carrying Louis Vuitton cabin bag to work & Chanel to dinners, blah, blah, blah.
It's probably strange to start a blog about fine dining, designer bags, gorgeous spas at this time of crisis but one doesn't necessarily need to splurge to pamper oneself. In an economic downturn like this, I'll be sharing with you on tips like "Your very own D.I.Y", "How to cut down on your spending on designer bags?" as well as updating of events like Designer Sales or Spa Packages.
Well, I'll try to share as much as I know & provide as many pictures as possible. I'd like to maintain this as a friendly & colourful site & "No Bitching" here please……..
Let's all have fun & thank you for visiting Luxury Indulgence!
and fun. Thanks for sharing.
Wish you a Happy Valentine's Day.
Hey, thank for the encouragement! Will strive to provide more interesting posts. Happy Valentine's Day to you too!

Killing of Negotiator for Go George Integrated Public Transport Condemned
Joint Statement by Donald Grant, Minister of Transport and Public Works and Charles Standers, Mayor of George Municipality
Yesterday was a tragic day for George and for the whole of South Africa. Mr Tom Queba, a leader within the George taxi industry and the chief negotiator in the engagements with government, was shot and killed. My government unreservedly condemns this violence. There can be no circumstance in which a crime like this can be excused or accepted. Government will institute all necessary measures to ensure that justice is brought to bear on the perpetrators of this terrible crime.
Over the past eight years, government has been working with the George taxi industry and the people of George to develop a public transport system that will see George transformed.
The George Integrated Public Transport Network (GIPTN) is a flagship project for the country as a whole. It will offer the George public affordable, scheduled, safe and reliable services, contributing to improved quality of life and much better access to opportunities. Existing industry operators will be incorporated into the new system as owners of a new company called George Link.
Drivers and other people (such as "gaatjies") affected by the implementation of the GIPTN (Go George System) will also be given an opportunity to be employees of the George Link if they so choose. Together, we have achieved great things and the Go George system is ready to be implemented. This system will bring massive investment to George, it will create jobs, it will provide affordable, high quality public transport services to the people of George, and it will provide the basis for a transformed industry.
Government has ensured that no member of the existing industry is detrimentally affected by the roll-out of Go George. Our teams have worked tirelessly to realise this joint vision, and we will see it to fruition.
The GIPTN will go ahead as planned. No act of violence or intimidation will prevent this government from fulfilling its mandate and its promise to the people of George. In this conviction, we have the support of the people of George and of the George taxi and bus industry.
We remember Mr Tom Queba for the strong, principled and committed leader that he was. Mr Queba was a visionary individual, a dedicated leader who sought the transformation of George and the greater South African public transport sector for the betterment of all.
He foresaw the benefits of the Go George system, and the promise it held for substantially improving the lives of the people of George. He also understood how the transformed system could better the circumstances and long-term prospects of his fellow operators. He negotiated fairly, and was fiercely committed to achieving an outcome to the benefit of all.
He had an important role to play in the future system and his early death is a great loss to George and indeed South Africa. Our condolences go to his family and loved ones. My department, along with George Municipality and national government, remain resolute and unwavering in our combined commitment to rolling out Go George services to the people of George, fulfilling Mr Queba's vision and continuing his legacy.

840 PACKED PAGES, £40, FREE PACKING & POSTAGE!
To anyone who knows anything about Prison Law the names Simon Creighton and Hamish Arnott are synonymous with prison law excellence and expertise – and this book shows clearly why they are so deserving of that reputation.
The 840 pages that reside between the covers span the subject of prison law authoritatively and in a way that cuts legal jargon to an absolute minimum.
Divided into a dozen easy-to-read sections the book details the legal framework that applies to the prison system as a whole, and the law relating to IEPS, categorisation, allocation, property, transfers, security, intelligence, searching, prison discipline, IPP, lifers, visits, ROTL, HDC (and many more subjects besides) in respect of those who live and work inside it. This book is an essential legal reference book for prison lawyers, prisoners and prison staff alike – a copy deserves to be in every prison library, and also in the top drawer of every prison prison lawyer and prison governor in the country; a truly remarkable book from two truly remarkable lawyers.
Prisoners: law and practice is a comprehensive guide to the law governing prisons with a strong focus on prisoners' rights and remedies.
This is a magisterial study of the interface between prisons and the law.' Stephen Shaw, Prisons and Probation Ombudsman, from his foreword.
'This is the most up to date and authoritative guide to prisoners' rights and the prison system. It is superbly written and organised and is, in my view, essential for anyone who works with prisoners.' Andrew Sperling, Solicitor.
'This is the most comprehensive text on prison law, concise and accessible and written with the overarching theme that people deprived of their liberty for whatever reason should be treated with humanity.' Matthew Evans, managing solicitor, Prisoners' Advice Service.
Prisoners: law and practice critically analyses the duties the state has to those in detention and provides thorough coverage of all the relevant domestic and international case-law, legislation, policies and guidance. It is set out in an accessible and practical way. The book follows the path of a prisoner through the custodial process from reception at prison, via the issues of categorisation and allocation, prison conditions and rights while detained, to the various mechanisms for release.

Tag Archives: Assembly Hall
Dave Davies (and Ray!) at Islington Assembly Hall 18/12/15
December 19, 2015 live reviews, rock musicAssembly Hall, Dave Davies, Islington, Kinks, live review, London, Ray Davies, rock gig, setlistDarren Johnson
A couple of years ago I drew up a list of some of the bands I wanted to try and catch at least once before they (or I!) died, became otherwise indisposed or packed up for good. Black Sabbath with Ozzy, The Who, The Beach Boys with Brian Wilson, Deep Purple and, given rumours of a possible reunion, The Kinks. One by one I worked through all the bands on my list, but The Kinks reunion remained elusive. So the next best thing seemed to be to at least catch the surviving members perform solo. I'd already seen original drummer, Mick Avory, perform with several 70s-era ex-members of The Kinks. So a Dave Davies solo gig in Islington seemed like a good idea and I could hopefully get to see a Ray Davies solo gig at some future date, too.
The Islington Assembly Hall, part of the town hall complex, is not the largest of venues but it's filled up nicely as Dave Davies takes the stage, backed by three supporting musicians. We get a nice mixture of classic 60s Kinks singles, some lesser known tracks from the band and a selection of Dave Davies' solo material. Although his speaking voice sounds frail at times, his singing voice is much stronger and his mastery of the guitar (arguably, on You Really Got Me, the man who invented the heavy metal riff) is as powerful as ever. It's a particular joy singing along to those old Kinks numbers especially: All Day and All of The Night, Tired Of Waiting For You, See My Friends, Death of a Clown and I'm Not Like Everybody Else.
Of course, when he came back on for an encore we could all guess absolutely what the song was going to be. What we couldn't guess, though, was who would be joining him for that final song. "A surprise for Christmas!" announced Dave and on walked his brother Ray, the two of them sharing a stage together for the first time in 19 years. The audience as one are hit with amazement and wonderment at this beautiful and unexpected moment in rock'n' roll history. Ray was in fine voice as he sang You Really Got Me and Dave cranked up the guitar. The audience went wild. Excitement, joy and genuine emotion as that 2 minutes and 14 seconds of one of the greatest rock'n'roll songs of all time blasted out from the stage. An early Christmas present indeed.

…needs. We've crafted it from a soft, midweight cotton, with twin-needle stitching along the hem to make sure it goes the distance during five-a-side games. We've added herringbone tape on the back of the neck and side splits with subtle pops of colour, making this an instant weekend classic.
…crafted from tight-knit waffle jersey that has a lightweight, textured feel. A crew neck and sporty raglan sleeves are cut for comfort, while side splits provide free-and-easy movement. The contrast-stripe cuffs add a distinctive splash, even if your life is more spreadsheets than student right now.

…our easy-to-wear shorts in four different lengths so you can decide how low or high to go. They're crafted from soft cotton mixed with a smidge of elastane for a flexible and flattering fit. Functional side pockets, a timeless mock-horn button and subtle splits at the side seams add to their appeal.

This week we were gifted a Natal Lily (Clivia Miniata) with bright orange blooms which immediately brightened our living room. The plant originates from South Africa and is reputed to be a prolific bloomer as well as a nearly indestructible house plant in our temperate climate. It belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family, so it is related to the better known Amaryllis flowers. However, it is much sturdier and requires less care. Even benign neglect, especially as far as watering, would do.
Here are some photos I took of this new plant as soon as the sun made its appearance inside our house.
I took the following photo at Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado almost three years ago. Looking at it now, I am struck by the straight line outlining the dune in the middle of the picture. It seems to be drawn not by the wind and other forces of nature but by some unnatural being.

Mute Swans were the favorites of many this past October. As the swans preened during a foggy morning, they struck poses that were bold and beautiful.
And here's my entry: the sky just before sunrise near Glacier National Park in Montana.

I put out a brick of bird feed mixed with mealworms, and right on cue, the birds came and willingly posed for Cee's challenge.

Two days ago, I was taking pictures of the moon when I heard the sound of a jet airplane. It flew overhead, to the left of the moon, and I just had seconds to swing my camera toward it. There was no time to adjust any setting, with the following result.
Airplane and its photographic shadow.
Here's a picture of the moon.
and here's my interpretation of it.

Photos of water make a good chunk of the shots I have taken since 2010 when I started doing digital photography. In the following series, the shots are of water from its sources high in the mountains, to waterfalls, and finally as part of the giant ocean mass around our globe.

One of the narrowest places I have ever been to is Lower Antelope Canyon near Page, AZ. Walking through it, in many spots only one person at a time could pass through. The following photos attest to that.

This last photo was a surprise for me. I first heard the bird or birds chirping, and when I saw one I quickly took a shot before it flew away. If you can recognize what kind of bird it was, please let me know in a comment.

I submit two closeup photos of daylilies showing details at the core of each flower. The first photo was taken a couple weeks ago on a dry morning, the second one just after a heavy downpour this afternoon.

For photographers, it is always a good idea to look up when they are walking around taking pictures. In early May, that's what I did while hiking in Garrapata State Park in Northern California, and saw a large band of Brown Pelicans flying high in the sky toward me. I just had enough time to capture 17 of them in the following photo.
Brown Pelicans over Garrapata State Park.
Later in the month, I was concentrating on getting good shots of Night Herons in the rookery near Ocean City Welcome Center. Then I heard the sound of a motor, looked up and took the following shot.
Plane landing in Ocean City, NJ.
I was too eager yesterday and went out to the lotus pond near our house to photograph lotus flowers. It was too early in the season, and there was no flower to be seen, only green leaves and stems, and lots of curves.
Rain water on lotus leaf. It looked so pure.
Stony Brook is a small river about 3 miles North of our house. It meanders around the area before ending up as a tributary of the Millstone River, one of the major rivers of New Jersey. After living nearby for almost 30 years, I thought it was time to go there and take some photos for this week's challenge.
There was't much water, but an ND filter created unusual flow patterns.
Finally a shot of one of the tiny yellow wildflowers growing along the banks.
Wildflower on Stony Brook bank.
Yesterday, without knowing about this week's photo challenge (https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/half-light/) I had shot the following pictures of a PJM Rhododendron bush that was starting to flower. The sun was very low on the horizon and only tiny rays of light managed to get through the branches.
PJM Rhododendron in waning sunlight.
A flock of Ruddy Turnstones was basking in the sun at the Barnegat Lighthouse jetty at the northern tip of Long Beach Island in New Jersey. I took a few pictures of them, and of one in particular that was shaking off water perhaps coming from a wave that got too close.
A female Ruddy Turnstone with a few drops of water on her back.
Suddenly, she twirled her head, sending water in a spiral around her head. You need to click on the image to view it in full size and see the spiral of water droplets.
All done, no more wetness in less than a second.
I took the following photo at Grand Canyon National Park almost six years ago, when I started getting interested in digital photography. I had a new camera and had never heard of HDR or any of the esoteric terms that photographers like to bandy about. I just saw the beautiful colors as the sun was setting, and they kept getting better and more vibrant by the minute. So, I took the shot.
I showed the photo to a person who knew a lot about photography, and who said: "Very nice, but how do I know this was taken at the Grand Canyon?" He said I should have used HDR to get some features of the canyon walls out of that mass of black at the bottom of the image. Oh well, one lives and learns.

Q: Extraction of usernames from FileVault 2-encrypted disk image I am working on bitstream (dd) images of disks from MacBook (Mac OS X 10.11.6) encrypted with File Vault 2. I do not have any password, passphrase or recovery key to unlock the drive, but I am not interested on unlocking/decrypting the drive.
I only need to extract all the possible information related to the login screen. This information should include usernames enabled to log in and password suggestions (if any). For password suggestion, I mean the suggestions which are available if you click on the question mark (?) at the right of the password box.
Here is an example of login screen:
Login screen example
As far as I understood, the system starts a special EFI pre-boot where it displays the FileVault 2 unlock screen with the icons of designated OS X accounts approved to unlock the disk. Login information (usernames, etc) should not be encrypted because they are available and visible when you start the system and before user logs in using the password (i.e., disk is not unlocked yet).
I have also tried to get this information by attaching the image and then using sudo fdesetup list -device <UUID> but apparently this operation is not allowed for an external device. Again, I am not able to unlock the image because I do not have any password. However, I believe that usernames should be available somewhere in a not encrypted format because they are visible when I start the system.
Here is the output of diskutil list after attaching the disk image (stored in an external USB drive) with hdiutil attach -nomount /Volumes/USB/image.dd.dmg:

Finally, the question is "How can I extract login information (not passwords) from a disk image encrypted with File Vault 2?". Based on the availability of this information before entering the password, I assume that usernames as well as other information (e.g., password hints) are not encrypted and could be extracted from a disk image.
Looking forward for your feedback.
Thanks a lot.

Hereditary hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is typically inherited as an X-linked recessive trait, characterized by deformity of at least two or more of the ectodermal structures - hair, teeth, nails and sweat glands. Two cases of hereditary HED involving identical male twins, is being documented for the rarity of its occurrence with special attention given to genetics, pathophysiology, clinical, intraoral manifestations and to the methods to improve the masticatory function, the facial esthetics and psychology of patients affected by this disease.

Available from: https://www.jpbsonline.org/text.asp?2013/5/6/150/114314
Ectodermal dysplasia (EDA) is a large group of inherited disorders characterized by a primary defect in hair, teeth, nails or sweat gland function, in addition to other abnormalities in a tissue of ectodermal origin, e.g., ears, eyes, lips, mucous membranes of the mouth or nose, central nervous system. [1] The ectoderm is the outermost layer of cells in embryonic development and contributes to the formation of many parts of the body including all those described above. EDA occurs when the ectoderm of certain areas fails to develop normally. All EDAs are present from birth and are non-progressive. [2] Defects in tissues derived from other embryologic layers are not uncommon. [3]
A 23-year-old boy presented with a complaint of missing teeth with difficulty in speaking and eating to Farooqia Dental College and Hospital. He was moderately built, poorly nourished and had the typical face of EDA with features like: Frontal bossing, prominent supraorbital ridges, perioral pigmentation, dry skin, depressed nasal bridge, protuberant lips, low-set ears, recession of hair line all along with fine, sparse scanty scalp hair, scanty eyebrow and eye lashes. The left eye was slightly smaller than the right eye and the nails were not very brittle [Figure 1], [Figure 2], [Figure 3] and [Figure 4]. Informed consent was procured from patients before any findings were reported. He was accompanied by his mother who gave a history of a total of six children born of a non-consanguineous marriage, with the boy and his younger male identical twin also suffering from the same condition since birth [Figure 1]. No other members of the family suffered from this trait. The mother also gave a history of the twins, presenting with partial anodontia in the upper jaw, complete anodontia of the lower jaw, progressive hyper pigmentation around eyes and mouth, complete absence of sweating since birth, repeated episodes of unexplained hyperpyrexia and thirst, which necessitated consistent drinking of cold water. They were of normal intelligence.{Figure 1}{Figure 2}{Figure 3}{Figure 4}
Medical history revealed that the boy complained of frequent headache, dry eyes and poor vision in the left eye. Other systems were within normal limits. Intraoral examination revealed partial anodontia of the maxillary arch with the presence of four teeth suggestive of maxillary central incisors and canines on either side of the midline. The mandibular arch was completely edentulous with poorly developed alveolus. Moderate dryness of the mouth, with inflamed mucosa was evident [Figure 5]. A panoramic radiograph showed the presence of four cone-shaped crowns with roots in the maxilla consistent with central incisors and canines on either side of the midline. The mandibular alveolar ridge was narrow with complete anodontia and with evidence of right impacted canine like tooth [Figure 6].{Figure 5}{Figure 6}
The younger twin brother also presented with almost the same identical physical and medical findings. He demonstrated good vision with no marked asymmetry of the eyes and a slight increase in scalp hair. Intraoral examination was identical. Examination of the panoramic radiographs of the younger twin showed the presence of four cone-shaped crowns with roots in maxilla consistent with central incisors and canines on either side of the midline. The mandibular teeth were missing with a narrow alveolar ridge. Cephalogram revealed normal growth pattern in both the twins [Figure 7]. Examination of impression and working model [Figure 8] confirmed it. Since hypohidrosis, hypotrichosis and hypodontia were very evident on physical examination, the twins were diagnosed with hereditary hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) with partial anodontia. Treatment plan consisted of fixed partial dentures (FPD) for the conical shaped maxillary anterior teeth followed by construction of removable dentures.{Figure 7}{Figure 8}
Thurnam, first reported EDA and the term EDA was coined in 1929 by Weech. EDAs is congenital, diffuse and non-progressive. To date, more than 192 distinct disorders have been described with the most common being X-linked recessive HED (Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome) and hidrotic EDA (Clouston syndrome). Current classification of EDAs is based on clinical features. Pure EDAs are manifested by defects in ectodermal structures alone while EDA syndromes are defined by the combination of ectodermal defects in association with other anomalies. Freire-Maia and Pinheiro proposed the first classification system of the EDAs in 1982, with additional updates in 1994 and 2001. Their original classification system stratified the EDAs into different subgroups according to the presence or absence of (1) hair anomalies or trichodysplasias, (2) dental abnormalities, (3) nail abnormalities or onychodysplasias, and (4) eccrine gland dysfunction or dyshidrosis. Overall, the EDAs were classified into either Group A disorders, which were manifested by defects in at least two of the four classic ectodermal structures as defined above, with or without other defects and Group B disorders, which were manifested by a defect in one classic ectodermal structure (1-4 from above) in combination with (5) a defect in one other ectodermal structure (i.e., ears, lips, dermatoglyphics). Eleven Groups A subgroups were defined, each with a distinct combination of two or more ectodermal defects (e.g., 2-4, 1-2-3, 1-2-3-4 from above). The Group B disorders were indicated as 1-5, 2-5, 3-5, or 4-5 (from above). With the recent identification of the causative genetic defect for a number of the EDAs, newer classification systems have been devised. In 2003, Lamartine reclassified the EDAs into the following functional groups based on the underlying pathophysiologic defect: (1) Cell-to-cell communication and signaling, (2) adhesion, (3) development and (4) other. Similarly, in 2001, Priolo and Laganà reclassified the EDAs into two main functional groups: (1) Defects in developmental regulation/epithelial-mesenchymal interaction and (2) defects in cytoskeleton maintenance and cell stability. Several EDA syndromes may manifest in association with midfacial defects, mainly cleft lip, cleft palate or both. The three most commonly recognized entities are (1) EDA, ectrodactyly, and clefting syndrome (2) Hay-Wells syndrome or ankyloblepharon, EDA, and cleft lip/palate syndrome and (3) Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome, all of which are caused by mutations in the TP63 gene.
The prevelance of EDA is 7 estimated at seven cases/10,000 births, [3] the carriers-incidence is probably around 17.3 in 100,000 women. [4] Morbidity and mortality is related to the absence or dysfunction of eccrine and mucous glands. Beyond early childhood, life expectancy ranges from normal to slightly reduced. [3],[5] A family history of similar clinical features is helpful. [6]
The typical facies, which is often not recognized until infancy, is characterized by frontal bossing, sunken cheeks, saddle nose, thick, everted lips, wrinkled, dry, hypopigmented skin with hyperpigmentation periorbitally and large, low-set ears. Onychodystrophy may occur but is not common and may result in brittle, thin, ridged, or grossly deformed nails. There may be developmental delay and short stature due to growth retardation, but intelligence is normal. [5] There is absent or diminished body hair, sparse or absent eyebrows and eyelashes due to a reduction in the number of hair follicles in conjunction with structural hair shaft abnormalities due to aberrations in the hair bulb formation (include longitudinal grooving, hair shaft torsion and cuticle ruffling). Hair bulbs may be distorted, bifid, or small resulting in sparse, fair, brittle hair, therefore, little pigmentation in the hair shaft is observed microscopically and the medulla is often discontinuous. When medullation is present, a "bar code" appearance is often seen. Eccrine sweat glands may be absent, sparse or rudimentary, which may present in early infancy as recurrent episodes of hyperpyrexia, which may also lead to seizures and neurological problems where in the mortality rate may approach 30%. The development of a chronic eczematous dermatitis is common. Other secretory gland defects include hypoplasia of the salivary and lacrimal glands resulting in xeostomia, Xerophthalmia, photophobia, conjunctivitis and defective vision. In some patients, Pharyngitis, rhinitis, cheilitis, and dysphagia may result from reduced numbers of functional mucous glands in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. Dental defects include abnormal morphogenesis, (peg or conical shaped), hypodontia, delayed eruption or complete anodontia. [3] More often, most of the deciduous teeth form, but there are few or no permanent teeth. Patients with severe dental abnormalities may develop feeding difficulties, which may result in malnutrition and failure to thrive. [6] The cephalometric measurements, reveals the general facial growth proportion, and pattern of jaw growth appear to be normal in these children despite the absence of tooth development. [1] The alveolar ridges can remain severely hypotrophic due to oligo or anodontia in the primary and/or permanent dentition [7] resulting in protuberant lips due to the reduction in the height of the alveolar process. [3]
Other signs and symptoms include, deficient hearing and otitis. [5] The X-linked recessive HED has full expression only in males. [3] While female are carriers, show little or no signs of the condition. [3]
The genetic defects responsible for approximately 30 of the EDAs have been identified. X-linked recessive HED (EDA or Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome) is caused by mutations in EDA, which encodes the ectodysplasin protein, a soluble ligand that activates the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) and JNK/c-fos/c-jun signaling pathways. [3] The corresponding molecular mechanisms involve altered interactions between the EDA-NF-kappa B pathway and signaling molecules essential in skeletogenic neural crest cell differentiation, migration, and osteoclastic differentiation [7] autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive HED are caused by mutations in the DL gene, which encodes the EDA (ectodysplasin) receptor. Mutations in the ectodermal dysplasia receptor associated death domain (EDARADD) genes encoding the ectodermal dysplasia receptor (EDAR) and (less frequently) the adaptor protein that associates with the EDAR death domain result in autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive forms of HED. [8]
Genetic mapping showed linkage of family with autosomal recessive form of HED to EDAR gene on chromosome 2q11-q13 and family with X-linked recessive isolated hypodontia to EDA gene on chromosome Xq12-q13.1. Recurrence of mutations in EDAR and EDA genes in unrelated families is evocative of the dispersion of ancestral chromosome in a different locality groups through common ancestors. [9] The prognosis for most patients with ectodermal dysplasia is very good. If hypohidrosis is recognized in the neonatal period and managed appropriately, no evidence indicates that the life span of a person with Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is shorter than average. [5] However, the lack of sweat glands may lead to hyperthermia, followed by brain damage or death in early infancy if unrecognized. Thus an early diagnosis is important and families with EDA should therefore be offered genetic counseling. [4]
Crowns, FPD and direct composite restorations are often used to restore malformed teeth in combination with removable partial dentures and implant-supported prostheses in the Prosthodontic and psychological management of these patients. Periodic recalls are often necessary in young adults as a result of continuing growth and development that mandates adjustments in the prostheses. Dentures create conditions for maintenance of a normal, satisfactory daily diet, at an early age. Dentures help positioning of the chin in place, and prevents the anterorotation of the mandible, upward and forward displacement of the chin, a reduction in the height of the lower-third of the face; a tendency to C1 III malocclusion.

Aria looked at the note in her hands, her anger leaving so fast her heart skipped a beat. She read it over and over again before crumpling it up and going over to where Mal and Dominic were. She didn't reply to Mal and didn't even seem to achknowledge that she heard her, she just walked on with a rigid gate.
I'm going to die in here. She thought, and remembered before she got into this Estate where she thought the same thing.
The trail of blood was peculiar to say the least, there was the fresh blood from the recent fight but underneath that there was much older blood which was ingrained in the cobble years old. Like something had been dragged over the floor again and again over the years.
The archway was bleak and reared of blood, light from torches thankfully illuminated the path ahead, revealing that the trail continues onward. This hallway thankfully was short, the door being in clear view from where the party was at.
"Strange…" Grom murmurs, wiping his now bloodstained fingers into one of the brigand's clothes.
"At least two bodies, maybe more, were dragged along this way. One quite recently, the others long time ago – I'm talking years here. Fresh blood covers dried." He scratched his head. Whatever it was, surely wasn't right.
The group would move onward, Dominic in the lead with Mal, Aria, then lastly Grom. Entering the next room would lead to a horrific sight. Severed body parts littered the floor, arms, hands, legs, feet, all neatly assorted into their own piles. The dried part of the blood trail would lead into the piles of body parts, while the fresh blood would lead to the end of the room.
At the end of the square room that would be similar in design to the room that was flooded with liquid earlier would be a body, a body of a madman who was still alive. He was in a straight jacket that had broken at the arms so he could move them freely. He had a wound on his leg that was slowly bleeding and clearly badly scraped, matching how the fresh blood on the floor would've been created.
The man stared wide eyed at the group as they entered, clearly surprised that there were people still alive in this place. His mouth was moving but no sound came out, maybe perhaps he was parched or that he couldn't speak at all.
If this had been her first run this sight would've made her throw up. Thankfully the Warrens had prepared her for this kind of grossness.
She didn't even notice the man at first, she was more focused on screaming silently to herself than to really pay attention.
What she did realize, was that there was supposed to be a creature in here. The question was…..where was it?
Grom levels the gun on the man. "Who or what did this? Quick!" He barked while scanning the room, trying his best to ignore the masses of human body parts… it was not easy.
Mallilie grimaced as she took in the gore piled up about the room. Being towards the front, it didn't take her long to spot the man cowering at the other side of the room, especially as Grom was quick to point a barrel at his face. To be fair, she would have done the same, but Grom seemed to have him covered well enough.
Her tone was markedly sarcastic to poke fun at Aria. If she couldn't distract herself with something, she would probably have lost her lunch.
The Mountain of a man stepped forward; brandishing his sword, blade pointed to the bloody floor, as the glistening skulls on the pommel looked to either side of gore flanking the party. He brought a fist around and slammed against his barely concealed chest, a sound akin to a wardrum, as he held the sword out in a means of salute to the Madman.
"Water, my friends… Avert your eyes from the carnage, look to me: your Bastion. I will guide you through this, if you need." He offered, and asked for, as his helm's visored slit stared emotionlessly at the Madman.
The gore was… unsettling. He had been on countless Crusades, in the harsh desert and cold alike; seen blood shed on soil, stone, wood and structure alike… Gore beyond salvation. And yet… In the dark, as the torchlight glimmered off blood and broken bone, he felt his stomach turn and the beginnings of doubt swirl in the guts of his mind.
The madman looked at Dominic, a wide smile slowly forming on the man's face. He started cackling, like Dom had just said the funniest thing in the world to him.
"Rubble… To ruin. The Prohpet has foreseen your doom! I don't know what's he's doing. But I know that death will be by a ghoul!" He spoke, laughing the entire time. Clearly insanity had taken over his brain, but perhaps he could be saved.
Dominic would remember those words, 'rubble to ruin', like the voice that had spoken to him before when the blue stone was destroyed. He would, also, know that this man in front of him wasn't the same person that spoke to him then.
Grom, would feel something splatter on his arms, and if he looked up he would find blood was leaking down from the beam above.
The half-rotted, and more disturbingly half-eaten corpse of a man, an unlucky brigand if the tattered remains of his gear are anything to go by, was carefully draped over a crossbeam above Grom. If he was fast enough in looking up, Grom would get a brief glimpse of the abattoir's resident before they landed on him; a surprisingly average-looking man, garbed in blood-splattered and torn priests robes, and wielding a pair of daggers.
Grom was aiming down the sights, anger growing at the madman's gibbering, when suddenly he felt something tap his shoulder. Instead of looking at WHAT that was, he looked up to see WHERE it came from. It bought him precious seconds, as he immediately dived away, head and arms first, right towards a pile of corpses.
The 'Ghoul' quickly corrects for the loss of his 'springboard', tucking into a roll just as he hit the ground, and smoothly transitioning into a combat stance from there. "… I was expecting Folter's followers…" The man states in a flat tone.
Mal gripped her rifle close to her chest, and glared at the madman as he ranted. Her finger twitched on the trigger guard, ready to shoot if she needed. Her gaze was distracted by Dominic, ever the figure of solidarity. She was jealous of his stature, for she couldn't command the others as he did, and even worse she relied on him to keep her head among all the filth and blood.
The body fell over Grom, and Mallilie quickly spun, and fired her musket in the general direction of the corpse.
The shuffle of Grom's feet, and respective wet slap of flesh on leather inspired enough curiosity in the giant to turn his helmed head to divine just what was so required to fetch some water for the madman.
What was presented before him was, at first, baffling; a man of the cloth, seemingly, who impressed such vile and hateful airs. Good; perhaps in an earlier life, but now the enemy. His mind flowed as simply as his hands: flourishing his sword in an easy arc into both his gloved paws, wielding it in a low stance, ready to flick out in either a quick pommel strike or wide swipes. Letting the crossguard rest roughly at his waist.
Despite Grom's danger, Dominic stepped forward and posed himself to the robed fellow, his daggers were worrying, but manageable… However, he did flinch as he heard Mallilie's musket crack in its signature thundering way, sending his helmet ringing with the noise as he did his best to keep his poise and position himself, now, between the musketeer and the apparent daggerman.
He could only surmount a grumbling growl, as the ringing subsided in his ears. Dominic knew the rational response was to impose a defensive posture, and he had, though he was all too ready to mount an offensive. With a roll of his shoulders, he shifted his longsword from its low guard to a middle guard: holding it poignantly parallel to his midline.
The shot, being fired out of panic without real aim, passed by Grom, and the 'ghoul'. However, out of the facts stated, and that Aria had not even decided to move from her spot, she was the unlucky target for the shot which if it couldn't hit her via how it was fired, would hit her anyway via richocheting.
She had spinned to look at the bloody priest that had fallen from the ceiling that had tried to ambush Grom, her mind thinking it was the creature. As she did so she heard the sound of Mals gun firing, and the next thing she knew her right arm, below the elbow in the middle of her forearm had ignited with pain.
Blood was gushing out of Arias arm, the Musket ball was at her feet. Her arm had been almost blasted off, the musket ball taking a chunk out of it. It broke some of the bone, causing the lower part of her arm to dangle off like fabric that had been torn partly off.
She screamed in pain and fell to her knees, out of all the things she hadn't expected to be shot by her own teammate, even if it was an accident. She shakingly held the dangling lower part of her arm so it would cause less pain and make sure it didn't tear completely off. Shock had reduced her senses but pain courses through her still.


Kinco recently completed the construction of a new K-4 facility for the Westside School District on their Hartman campus. The project included a new 20,000 square foot, 16 classrooms. The scope of work included demolition of 3 existing buildings on the site. The building has a standing seam roof and brick veneer exterior. It also features a FEMA funded, integrated, cast-in-place concrete safe room/tornado shelter. Work was completed for occupancy before the 2011 fall semester.
