Brennen was introduced to The Student Leadership Challenge® as a junior in high school and wrote about his leadership experiences in high school and college. Now he's begun his career and The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® continue to inform his path.
Every employer, regardless of the industry, looks for strong leadership skills and leadership potential. I believe that The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership can not only change students' lives, but also help them land a job, perform well in their professional role, and progress in the career of their choice. As just one example of thousands of lives that have been changed by The Five Practices, I see the positive returns of The Student Leadership Challenge in my work and personal life each day.
When I began my own job search after college I found myself relying on my leadership experiences and self-knowledge of my leadership skillset to find a career path that was right for me. As I looked for a profession, I noticed that companies were looking for candidates who could lead by example and think differently about the conventional processes used to satisfy their customers. Model the Way and Challenge the Process are two Practices that I focused on exemplifying in all of my interviews. By modeling the way, or leading by example, potential employers see that you are not afraid to take the front seat and face a challenge head-on, and do it in a way that allows coworkers to follow. I also found that many companies have not updated the ways they do business. But we live in an ever-changing world, and the mindset that processes are better left unchanged is detrimental to success. A job candidate who cannot challenge the process with new ideas and efficiency will not be as valuable as another candidate who can.
As a Product Marketing Manager at Microsoft I get the opportunity to market brands such as Skype® and Office. Such large brands require large teams to ensure their success and leadership capabilities are essential. Especially at such a large organization, it's important for me to recognize that part of being a leader is doing the best I can so that I encourage others to follow my example. When I work on projects, I continually keep in the back of my head that other people may be looking at my work to learn more, build upon the existing work, or produce insights. Model the Way helps me to remember how I am setting an example within my team for others to also build on top of my leadership. In addition, keeping spirits high within such a large team can be tough. Producing creativity and inspiration in the workplace requires you to encourage new ideas and celebrate the accomplishments of your team. The Encourage the Heart Practice is essential in helping me understand how and when to celebrate our team's successes and continue the flow of creativity inside the company. Because of my experience with The Student Leadership Challenge, I'm able to better understand my leadership capabilities and my own opportunities for improvement at work.
In thinking about my career path I know that my ability to understand leadership skills and to identify which skills I have and which ones I need to develop will ultimately help me progress. Not only in my professional life, but also in my personal life, the leadership skills I curate and work toward improving will always help me get to my next goal. Inspiring a Shared Vision, one of The Five Practices, is something that every leader and manager must do to grow and push a team forward. Not everyone should or will be a manager, but in a team those who can inspire a shared vision are looked to as natural leaders who will push the team to success. Working in a way that allows those around you to reach their highest potential is also necessary as a leader. The Practice of Enable Others to Act helps me assess how I can continue to grow in my team by enabling others to act and ultimately progress my own career through continual leadership development. Leadership is an invaluable skill that every person, group, and organization needs to propel it forward. Investing time in leadership development is one of the most valuable things any student can do.

English Open Final: Stuart Bingham vs Mark Davis
by David Caulfield on October 21, 2018
The English Open final will be contested between two home players but one of them won't be Ronnie O'Sullivan after the defending champion crashed out to Mark Davis on Saturday in Crawley.

O'Sullivan had been the overwhelming favourite to continue his unbeaten streak this season, following his previous triumph in the Shanghai Masters invitational last month in China, but was out of sorts after a week in which he generated a succession of headlines.
Davis, competing in a ranking event semi-final for the sixth time in his long career, took full advantage with a superb display that inflicted a deserved 6-1 defeat on the Rocket, who made a maximum break on Wednesday after earlier calling the K2 venue a hellhole.
Stuart Bingham will be Davis' opponent in Sunday's showdown for the first Home Nations series tournament of the campaign after the 2015 world champion pulled clear of Stephen Maguire in the first last four encounter for a 6-3 triumph.
It's hardly the final affair that many would have predicted or perhaps hoped for, but it's a clash between two players who have been stalwarts of the Main Tour for more than five decades between them.
While Bingham will be bidding for his fifth ranking title and a potential second Home Nations success – he would become the first player to achieve the feat since the series launched in 2016 – Davis is set to contest a ranking final for the first time at the tender age of 46.
A professional since 1991, Davis recently admitted that he was going to try everything in an attempt to land a ranking trophy before his career ended and he has now given himself a wonderful opportunity to do just that.
In recent years, the likes of Anthony Hamilton, Ryan Day, and Mark King have broken their ranking tournament duck and Davis would be one of the next in line to take on the unwanted mantle of being the best player never to win one.
If he were to score like he did against O'Sullivan, when he compiled runs of 102, 93, 84, 65, and 52, the player known as Dark Mavis on social media will certainly give himself a great chance in the English Open final.
However, despite the obvious confidence boost that any hammering of the former world number one would bring, an experience of playing a match with the silverware and champion's cheque on the line is another prospect to deal with entirely.
Davis has enjoyed success in the Six Red World Championship, a competition he has famously won three times, but he would dearly love to be among the exclusive club of ranking event winners too.
Of course, Bingham will be the favourite to go on and lift the trophy aloft as he has a wealth of experience at the business end of proceedings in these big events.
Almost exactly a year ago, Bingham was handed a six month ban – three suspended – after an investigation was launched into his betting on the sport.
The scandal damaged not only the 42 year-old's reputation but also his membership among the elite in the game as his period away caused him to slide down the rankings.
Just about still in the top 16, Bingham's run this week looks set to help guarantee his ticket to the prestigious Masters at the turn of the new year in his hometown London.
Of more immediate concern obviously is this final and Bingham will be hoping to add to the 2017 Welsh Open that he bagged in the inaugural Home Nations season so he can add the Steve Davis Trophy to the Ray Reardon Trophy already in his collection.
Bingham and Davis have an even head-to-head record, with the former boasting just two more victories from their 14 previous battles since 2001.
Davis will need to score like he did in the semi-final and hope that he can get his nose in front early because Bingham could very easily end up using his experience to power home if he could stamp his authority from the outset.
This year's English Open final is not necessarily one that will get the pulses racing but the Home Nations title deciders have often proved to be dramatic in the past, with four out of the eight previous finals going the distance.
Let's hope for something similar as Bingham and Davis play for the £70,000 top prize.
Live coverage of the English Open final will be on Eurosport and Quest TV.

Could Libra launch herald the mainstream use of cryptocurrency in retail?
Home Industry Insights Blog Could Libra launch herald the mainstream use of cryptocurrency in retail?
eBay, Farfetch, Facebook and PayPal are among the partners set to launch the new Libra cryptocurrency next year. The Libra launch, announced today, could be a first step towards the mainstream use of cryptocurrency in retail. But plenty of factors, not least consumer trust, could hold that back. Today's announcement of the new blockchain-based cryptocurrency came first from Facebook, which said its own Calibra digital wallet would go live in 2020 to enable users to buy and spend the currency across a range of platforms.The social media organisation has led development of the Libra, but its control will rest with the Libra Association, based in Geneva. The Libra Association will be overseen by its founding members, who meet at least two of a range of criteria around net worth, reach and industry leadership. Once the currency is launched – and spendable –Facebook will have the same rights and obligations as any other founding member of the association. So far the association has 28 members – from marketplaces eBay and Farfetch, technology companies Uber, Spotify and Lyft,and telecoms providers Iliad and Vodafone Group, through to blockchain, venture capital and non-forprofit organisations. The aim is to have about 100 by the time the currency launches in the first half of 2020. Read more…

'Life is Better Abroad' Overseas Residents Claim
In the last five years, over 500,000 Britons have left the country to pursue careers and lifestyles overseas, new data shows. The overwhelming majority appear to agree that lifestyles, income, and happiness all improve when sent on an overseas placement or assignment.
While overseas removals saw a slight dip in demand during the recent recession, British expatriates seem to have little interest in returning home. Popular expat countries include Spain, New Zealand, and the Australia, all of which ranked highly in approval from British travellers and expatriates across the world.
However, it's not all enjoyment and free time overseas. British residents of Singapore, Hong Kong, and the United Arab Emirates were less pleased with their foreign lifestyle than many others. Data suggests that those in countries with limited populations and developed economies tend to be happier than residents of countries with booming populations.
Just 19 percent of Britain's expats intend to return home at some point. Overseas removals are a popular option for expatriates aiming to reduce the cost of a move overseas – by keeping your current possessions, the cost of replacing furniture and electrical goods in a new country decreases significantly.

If you have more ornaments than will fit on your tree (or if you pick some up from a nearby dollar store), you have an easy, low-cost Christmas decoration! They look great inside glass containers. You can vary the colors, or stick to a color palette, like this one in silver and red. Take a tip from Dandelions and Dust Bunnies and "cheat" by filling the container with items like a toilet paper roll so you don't need as many ornaments. No one will know!
Another fun and simple way to decorate for Christmas with ornaments is to hang them. Get some ribbon and string the ornaments up. Don't you love this look from Pikadilly Charm with the ornaments hanging in the window? So chic!
For a cute door decoration, forget the wreath and try an ornament hanger instead! Just take ribbon and tie them to ornaments, like this idea from Best DIY Ideas. They covered the ribbon in a little bit of evergreen garland and voila! A cute (and unexpectedly simple) Christmas door hanger.
For inexpensive decorations, you can't beat pinecones. Just take a walk outside and you're bound to find some on the ground! Or if you don't live in an area with pine trees (I'm looking at you, Hawaii!), you should be able to find them cheap at your local craft store.
Similar to the ornaments, you can arrange pinecones in a bowl or container for an elegant holiday look. You could even tie a holiday ribbon around the bowl for an added touch. I love the pine cones in a simple wooden bowl from Classic Casual Home.
For some homemade decorations you could make with the kids, check out these DIY pine cone Christmas trees from Recyclart. Some paint and beads can transform a pine cone into a mini Christmas tree!
Since candy is abundant at Christmastime, why not use it to decorate? A simple peppermint by itself isn't anything fancy, but a whole bowl of peppermints can be beautiful.
Another great candy decor idea is to glue peppermint sticks to a candle like this one from The FW. It's easy, affordable, and charming.
And look at this… peppermints that double as a Christmas serving tray! This tutorial from Growing in Grace shows you how to do it, step-by-step.
The holidays are more fun with a little sparkle! With some inexpensive glitter, you can create eye-catching Christmas décor. This beautiful striped candle is perfect for Christmas. You can take candles you already have and follow the directions from The Ivy Cottage. It's so simple (and one of my favorites)! Just cover the candle with double-sided tape, then brush glitter onto the tape. There are unlimited color combinations to go with for the holidays. If you love the neutral look, a white candle with silver glitter would be beautiful. Or you could go with the traditional red and green. Or for a more elaborate look, take a patterned candle (like leopard-print), and add a complimentary color, such as gold. You can create endless styles with this technique.
Other fun hand-crafted Christmas decorations you can easily create are glitter figurines. Just take Christmas figurines like snowmen, Santa, or a nativity, and cover them in glitter. Use ones you already have, or buy them from a discount store like these from Fiscally Chic. Aren't these penguins adorable and festive?! For a more traditional Christmas look, you could use toy deer (think reindeer!). Love it!
There you have it: some great, low-cost ways to decorate your new home for the holidays. If you have more ideas for simple, inexpensive, homemade Christmas decorations, we'd love to see! You can send pictures to social@upack.com, and we might even share them on our Facebook page (giving you the credit, of course!).
Enjoy your new home, and happy decorating!

Yelich hits grand slam, Brewers power past Braves 13-1
Latest Stories Sports
By Editor July 17, 2019 July 17, 2019
Christian Yelich hit his second career grand slam, Keston Hiura and Lorenzo Cain each had a solo home run, and the Milwaukee Brewers got a needed 13-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night.
Brandon Woodruff (11-3) gave up one run and five hits in 6 2/3 innings for the Brewers, who had lost eight of their previous 10 games. He walked one and struck out seven, snapping a 12-game streak in which Milwaukee starters failed to get a win.
With the Brewers holding a 7-1 lead in the seventh, Yelich hit his 33rd home run of the season with the bases loaded. The shot, which came against Braves reliever Huascar Ynoa, was the first grand slam for Milwaukee this season and the second of Yelich's career. He also had one last Sept. 2 at Washington.
Mike Moustakas picked up his 1,000th career hit with a single to right-center field in the seventh. Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman stepped away from Moustakas to allow the 10-year veteran to acknowledge the standing ovation from the crowd of 31,599.
Bryse Wilson (1-1) allowed four runs and six hits in four innings for the Braves. Wilson, recalled earlier in the day from Triple-A Gwinnett, became the youngest pitcher to start a game in the National League this season at 21 years, 208 days.
Tyler Flowers scored the lone run for the Braves on a solo homer in the fifth, his eight of the season. The 12-run loss is the largest deficit for Atlanta this year.
After finishing a home run short of the cycle on Monday, Hiura continued his hot streak at the plate with his ninth homer of the season in the second inning. He finished with three hits and has hit safely in 12 of his last 14 games.
Yasmani Grandal had an RBI single and Moustakas a run-scoring double to push the Brewers' lead to 3-0 in the third.
Yelich scored on a wild pitch in the fifth and Cain homered in the sixth to make it 5-1.
Yelich's homer capped a six-run inning that stretched the advantage to 11-1 in the seventh. Ben Gamel's RBI single and Cain's bases-loaded walk capped the scoring in the eighth.
STAYING ON BASE
Ronald Acuña Jr. reached base on a single, extending his career-best on-base streak to 22 consecutive games.
Braves: LHP Max Fried was placed on the 10-day injured list with a blister on his left index finger. Braves manager Brian Snitker says the blister developed during the fourth inning Monday night. Snitker pulled Fried after he pitched five scoreless innings.
Brewers RHP Chase Anderson (4-2, 4.27 ERA) will face Braves LHP Dallas Keuchel (3-2, 3.60 ERA) in the finale of the three-game series Wednesday.

Soul Funk Secret have been our clients for over 10 years and we love working with Marco and his band. The focus of our brief was the evolve the much liked look of the site into a fresh, new design which integrated the promotion as well as the sale of their new single.
Over the years, the band had been busy, gigging, writing and recording – and had now outgrown the once fitting site. We worked with the band to revise the content structure and created a better backend for site admin, making updates easier. The new design now reflects the current line-up and direction.
Ten years ago, I had my first website and logo designed and set up by Prisca. She was a freelance web designer who had been highly recommended to me. I wanted a funky 70s look – something very eye catching – that would impress potential clients. The final website was fantastic, and the logo Prisca designed is now recognised in the industry.
Between then and now, Prisca set up her own web design company so when the time came to update our site, we of course asked eyedea studio to do the work. With the refresh of the site, there is no doubt that it is the winning tool of our business. Everything has been set up to make it easy for us to change photos, add news and generally update content as and when necessary. The site is so well constructed!!
I have been relying on Prisca for our design work for 10 years now, and she and her team have never failed us. They contribute to our growth, as a band and a business. Thanks to the Soul Funk Secret website, I have the opportunity to broadcast my music in a very stylish and elegant way.

Why would a middle-aged businessman who had never even spent the night outdoors, attempt to hike the entire Appalachian Trail? Bill Walker, a former commodities trader in Chicago and London, and an avid walker, had developed a virtual obsession to hike this historic 2,175 mile footpath in one hiking season. In the spring of 2005 he set off from his home state of Georgia, hoping to make it to Mount Katahdin in northern Maine before the arrival of winter.
Liked the story, but the recording quality was fair.
Jeff Alt takes you along every step of his 2,160-mile Appalachian Trail adventure. This entertaining journey includes bears, bugs, blisters, captivating characters, skunk bedmates, and hilarious food cravings. Alt walked more than five million steps in tribute to his brother, who has cerebral palsy and lives in a home called Sunshine. This trail adventure has inspired an annual event that has raised more than $200,000 for Sunshine. It includes hiking tips for the whole family.
Have you ever wanted to visit Machu Picchu, or witness the Northern Lights? To explore remote landscapes where no boot has tread, no shutter ever snapped? You can.... Before he became Green Giant on the Appalachian Trail, Gary Sizer was a Marine, a computer nerd, and a guy with a problem. No matter how much time he spends outside, it's never enough. Whether being thrashed by drill instructors at Parris Island or drenched by a squall in a high tundra, the same calming thought always prevailed: It's good to be outside.
The book that will make you want to explore!
When Niki Rellon fell 45 feet from the side of a Utah mountain in 2013, she thought she was going to die. She didn't, but the devastating injuries she suffered may well have put an end to her thrill-seeking outdoor lifestyle. But Niki is tougher than that. Not only did she bounce back, stronger and more determined than ever, but she took on a challenge which defied the odds and had many friends, family and medical experts advising against it. Now you can hear Niki's incredible story in Push On: My Walk to Recovery on the Appalachian Trail.
I tried to "Push On" through this book.
This is the true story of a young EMT and school teacher who found inner harmony on the Appalachian Trail.
Stuck in a job he no longer found fulfilling, journalist Mike McIntyre felt his life was quickly passing him by. So one day he hit the road to trek from one end of the country to the other with little more than the clothes on his back and without a single penny in his pocket. Through his travels, he found varying degrees of kindness in strangers from all walks of life - and discovered more about people and values and life on the road in America than he'd ever thought possible.
Told with sincerity, humor, and wit, Trespassing Across America is both a fascinating account of one man's remarkable journey along the Keystone XL pipeline and a meditation on climate change, the beauty of the natural world, and the extremes to which we can push ourselves - both physically and mentally.
Like a well-crafted stage play, Just Passin' Thru delivers one suspenseful scene after another. But in this historic setting a store on the Appalachian Trail called Mountain Crossings the characters who show up are no fictional creations. They are the real-life stars of the author's new life as a backpack-purging, canteen-selling, hostel-running, bandage-taping, lost-child finding, argument-settling, romance-fixing, chili-making man of many faces. Like any good drama, there are the good guys (and gals) and the weirdos, too. Some show up once (and that's enough), and some appear again and again. Some are friends, and some dangerous. But all are united by two things: the author's story-capturing talent, and whatever it is that lures them to attempt (or conquer) a 2,200-mile path that climbs and plummets from Georgia to Maine.
©2009 Winton Porter (P)2013 Audible Inc.
I enjoy hiking tales and heard about this book from another hiker. My past reads have been about hikers and their trail events. This book is about a man who bought an outdoor gear/ hostel establishment called Mountain Crossing. His store is a well known rest stop on the AT and has quite the following (I checked out their website & Facebook pages).
This was a great "welcome to my world" book. He shares encounters he has had through the years with hikers and employees. I found these stories funny & captivating. The narrators voice made this an easy listen. You don't have to be a hiker to like this one - it's a great read!
Just Passin' Thru? Come back and tell me more!
Loved this book! It is not nearly long enough but what there is was absolutely charming. Winton Porter does a wonderful job of spinning the yarn of his years minding a store on the Appalachian Trail and the hungry and loopy hikers who show up at his store. I have always wanted to hike a hunk of it but sadly I live nearer the Pacific Crest Trail so must live vicariously through stories like this.
The descriptions of the trail, the amazing characters who decide to take on the daunting hike and make the commitment to do it, and in many cases do it over and over, are delightful.I could actually picture them like I had been sitting on a stone bench in the sun with them.
I love the guy on the roof with Oldham flute, just taking life in stride. I admire Porter's wife who just copes with the realities of living in a frigid old stone house year round and rolls with whatever happens.
This book is a great introduction to the brotherhood and sisterhood of people that are taken/fascinated and addicted to the reality and the dream of the Appalachian trail. The narrator does a wonderful low key job of telling the story in a way that feels very real and like I imagine Porter's actual voice and delivery would sound.
My only gripe? It was not nearly long enough?
Where does Just Passin' Thru rank among all the audiobooks you've listened to so far?
This is an amazing audio book. It has a great cast of characters. Billy Bumble Foot and Winton being my favorite. This is one of my favorite books i have listened to.
What other book might you compare Just Passin' Thru to and why?
I've never read or listened to anything like it. It did remind me of Empire Records, the movie, in a sense that the story wasn't about the store, but it was more of just a back drop to the lives and experiences of hikers, the staff, Winton and his family. I think it would be a great anime series, but that's just me.
Have you listened to any of Jones Allen's other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not listened to any other of Jones Allen's performances, but I wouldn't hesitate to listen to his work. He created voices for the characters. Winton, Sierra, and Billy. He nailed it.
With out any spoilers I'd say the story of Lorac and her gift to Winton.
I ordered this book looking for another hiker book, but found something much more. This book was funny, entertaining and had so many positive messages. This book will help you see things from a different perspective reminding "that it's not about the miles, It's about the smiles" and that life would be better if we all could just stop and capture the moments of our lives that do our heart good. To "smile and dance."
The author brings to life many interesting and at times hilarious characters. A well crafted story line helps to keep the reader / listener engaged and wanting more. As a hiker and outdoorsman, I can relate to many of the situations described. I recoomend. this book to those looking for some situational adult humor blended with a few difficult and dynamic topics.
What did you love best about Just Passin' Thru?
I really liked the stories and accounts of everyday life on the AT.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Just Passin' Thru?
The author's account of running up Blood Mountain was very exciting.
no but I never listen straight through.
Yes. The narration was excellent, the stories interesting and overall, I was able to appreciate the care and concern Winston Porter had for those who walked their walk.
When he relayed stories of the individuals he connected to and the love of his family.
No. I enjoyed listening to it in stretches... kind of like a hiker takes the trail.
This is the kind of story you want to hear about when talking about through hiking!!! Details of the people and places give you the feeling of being a part of the experience. Wonderful experience with the good and the bad being told. Out of all the books I've listened to about hiking this is bar far one of the best!!! Read it! Worth it!!!
What made the experience of listening to Just Passin' Thru the most enjoyable?
The characters that come across the trail.
It is not like Wyld, but it is about hiking one of the US's big trails, and the people who do that.
Can't compare. FIrst listen to him. Very nice.
An adventure in meeting hikers on the Appalachian Trail.
Really enjoyed his caring concern with hikers and their safety and the mistakes hikers make.
Surprisingly entertaining and original nonfiction.
This is an unusual sort of narrative, although partly autobiographical, it is mostly about people who drift in and out of the author's life running a general store and hostel near the Georgia end of the Appalachian Trail. For Porter, it is kind of a spiritual adventure, living and rearing a family as life was lived in the distant past. His nonjudgmental approach to his customers and friends causes them to open up to him in intimate ways. He is neither naive nor overly cynical; he senses when he is being lied to, although on occasion, he is surprised to learn what skeletons some of his friends have been keeping in the closet. He's also a very good writer, with vivid descriptions of nature and people, and an excellent sense of timing.
The narrative is enhanced by the excellent reading by Jones Allen.
Enjoyed very much. Wish it were longer.
Loved it. Wish it were longer. Loved the humor and characters. Made me feel good.

Passengers can now give feedback through touch screen at Chennai Airport
Chennai: In a bid to make Chennai Airport more effective and passenger-friendly, the Airport Authority of India has launched a pilot project for passengers to air their grievances or provide their feedback on the quality of services at the airport, said Chennai Airport director S Sreekumar.
Sreekumar told Express that the touch screen machine has been installed near the arrival gate of the domestic terminal. It was launched by Chairman of Airport Authority of India, Arvind Singh, who was in the city last week.
Sreekumar said the passengers can key in their grievances or give feedback on the amenities in the airport which will be rectified by the terminal manager immediately. "This is different from the Smiley machines installed by the AAI. The smiley machines would provide only ratings and is not of much use when it comes to sorting out issues faced by the passengers," said Sreekumar.
This is a pilot project and in future, it may be expanded across the airport based on the experience in the pilot project.
Usually, for taking action on complaint or other issues, the airport had to depend on the consultant or a survey by an organization which would submit a report after three months. "This would take a long time to sort out issues," said Sreekumar.

Understanding El Salvador's Civil War
Exactly how El Salvador's 12-year civil war got started depends on whom you ask. More specifically, it depends on where that person falls on El Salvador's socioeconomic scale. Some on the upper end will tell you the war was caused by senseless terrorism by those who had no right or cause. Some on the lower end of the pay scale see the war as a courageous people's struggle. But, generally speaking, the war began because El Salvador's campesinos, or peasant farmers, got tired of living as, well, campesinos. By the late 1970s, these campesinos had struggled for decades without much forward progress, despite occasional and tepid reforms passed by El Salvador's right-wing military government and land-based oligarchy, and calling for war began to seem like the best way to call for change. Add to the mix yet another failed government reform in 1976, the 1980 government assassination of the beloved human rights leader Monseñor Oscar Romero, and the organization in 1980 of four left-wing people's groups into the formidable Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN), and the stage for war was set. Some had hoped that war could be avoided when a group of slightly more moderate government agents took control of the government and nationalized some aspects of the economy in 1979 and 1980. But those moderates didn't go far enough and were themselves soon targets of the country's right-wing military death squads.
The FMLN launched its first major offensive against the El Salvadoran military in 1981 and successfully gained control of areas around Chalatenango and Morazán. El Salvador's military's response -- with the help of the U.S. government, which spent $7 billion trying to defeat the organization -- was fierce and lasting. The war raged on and off for the next 12 years, until both sides had had enough. The atrocities of the right, including individual assassinations and the 1981 Mozote Massacre, have been well documented since. A peace deal was signed in 1992, most war crimes were legally forgiven, and the FMLN agreed to halt its military operations and become a political party. This conversion to democracy finally paid dividends when, in 2009, an FMLN-backed candidate, Mauricio Funes, was elected president.
Be Careful What You Ask For
Most travelers have some awareness of El Salvador's bloody 12-year civil war, which ended with the signing of peace accords in 1992, and are curious to better understand the war and its aftermath. But be careful with that curiosity. El Salvador's civil war was exceedingly violent, often included torture, and took place in a relatively small area. Because of El Salvador's high population density, very few Salvadorans of a certain age failed to be personally affected by the war. I learned the hard way not to casually ask too many questions about those times. Salvadorans are renowned for their friendly nature and will tell you about the war if asked. But almost inevitably, their stories will include the loss or torture of a wife, a child, or a father. The war is not a taboo subject, but these are horrific memories that should not be casually unearthed. It's better to ask questions of educators or El Salvadorans you know well.

Prospects and applicability of molecular diagnosis of allograft rejection
Terry B. Strom, Manikkam Suthanthiran
We believe that changes in blood urea nitrogen and plasma creatinine are, at best, surrogate markers for rejection. It seems certain that rejection, an immunologic process must precede deterioration in renal function. We suggest that the efforts to prevent chronic rejection should include an effective means to diagnose rejection before the advent of fixed renal injury. Through an analysis of transcription for a series of genes that are expressed by activated, but not resting, cytotoxic lymphocytes, eg, granzyme B, a remarkably accurate tool for assessing the presence of rejection has emerged. Although our methods first centered on analysis of kidney transplant biopsy specimens, noninvasive surveillance using transcriptional profiling analysis circulating blood or urine sediment cells has proven equally informative.

Law Society of South Australia Submitted Four Critical Bills to Parliament
Legal News,
by Joseph Craig September 30, 2016, 3:29 am 526 Views
SubscribePlus 1
Last week, the South Australian legal body showed their concern on human rights by submitting four critical bills that may help solve problems faced by most vulnerable South Australian residents. This took place after the South Australian Parliament resumed its duties.
The Law Society of South Australia said that they were pleased to learn that the Bill to establish a Children's Commissioner was passed at the Lower House after they had made a submission regarding the same. In addition, the South Australian legal body said that they had summarised their views on the Bill and other significant Bills that were presented to parliament.
The submissions that were presented before parliament by the legal body include the following: the Sentencing Bill 2016, the Births, Deaths and Marriages (Gender Identity) Amendment Bill 2016, the Criminal Law Consolidation (Mental Impairment) Amendment Bill 2016, and the Protection and Wellbeing of Young People and Children (Advocacy and Oversight Commissions) Bill 2016.
The South Australian law society believes the legislation that checks on offenders in South Australia should be reformed as stated in the Sentencing Bill 2016.
According to the Law Society, this bill is a great step towards ensuring that every SA resident get equal rights.
The Law Society stated that the Criminal Law Consolidation (Mental Impairment) Amendment Bill 2016 aimed to exclude residents that cause crime through intoxication, even if it is self-induced.
In view of the Law Society, the bill overlooks medical evidence in regards to the connection between mental illness and substance abuse.
The Law Society believes that more people may be exposed to the massive injustice when self-induced intoxication gets prohibited. For example, there are scenarios whereby one is charged of a crime or offence that they committed while mentally incompetent.
As a matter of fact, the Protection and Wellbeing of Young People and Children (Advocacy and Oversight Bodies) Bill 2016 entailed that there should be put in place an effective Injury Review Committee that will perform its duties accordingly, the combination of work by the Commissioner for Young People and Children.
The South Australian legal body argued that the children's commissioner needs to be given power to investigate and look deeply into individual cases that might lead to solving hidden issues affecting children and young people in the society. Hence, that's the reason why the Law Society proposes that a children's commissioner should be included in the bill.
The children commissioner will also be involved with guiding young people and children to big offices where they can access effective community service and get their complaints addressed accordingly.
On the other hand, the legal body believes that there will be efficient procedure for people wishing to make changes to their gender or sex on the register of marriages, deaths and births, thanks to the Births, Deaths and Marriages (Gender Identity) Amendment Bill 2016.
The legal body is fully behind this bill because it will help curb laws that have been prejudiced against individuals based on intersex status, gender identity, gender and sexual orientation.

When it comes to identifying common negative classroom behaviors, you probably already know the importance of getting input from everyone involved. The gym teacher runs into issues that never affect the 7th grade English teacher or guidance counselor, who spend decidedly less time reigning rowdy kickball games. Plus, they probably all have different ideas for addressing those behaviors.
Your school's PBIS Committee needs to make sure that every voice is heard in order to develop a behavior rubric that everyone believes in. But getting useful feedback from so many different groups could be a logistical challenge. Here, we've laid out a few of the best methods for getting input from all of your key stakeholders, designed to be led by your PBIS Committee.
Chances are, you've already begun some sort of small group discussion (even if it's just a few teachers and committee members tossing around ideas in the lounge). This is one of the best ways of gathering feedback, but it's important that you have a planned approach.
Organize these group discussions in advance, and make sure your small groups include all key stakeholders – grade teams, specials teachers, administrators, other support staff, and you might want to include parents and students. The more ideas and perspectives you have, the more complete your final behavior standards will be.
We recommend giving each PBIS Committee member their own assigned groups to round up. So a 9th grade teacher on the Committee is the perfect point person to gather feedback from the rest of the 9th grade teachers. A guidance counselor might be a great liaison for parents or administrators.
Maybe you're ready to gather the troops (all of them) into one big think tank. More people requires more organization, so get prepared.
In order to get meaningful feedback from a group this size, you'll want to assign someone as the moderator. Establish a time limit for comments (and stick to it). Come up with a general outline for the discussion, and put it in writing for everyone to review beforehand.
Keep in mind that some people may not be comfortable voicing their opinions in front of a large group. You may want to seek out feedback from the quieter members afterward.
It might sound daunting, but there are some notable advantages to a big discussion like this. It gives everyone a chance to hear and discuss each other's point of view firsthand. And with this many people in the room, you're guaranteed to get to get more than enough input. Just make sure the meeting is carefully managed so you can make the most of everyone's time.
A survey is one of the easiest and fastest ways to gather feedback. It's not very time consuming on your end or theirs, and it's a good way to make sure the same information is gathered from all parties.
But choosing from a multiple choice list and typing a two-line short answer isn't always conducive to setting classroom behavior expectations. While you'll get direct responses to your questions, you may miss out on additional feedback that parents, teachers, and others may have volunteered during an in-person conversation.
If you're pressed for time and you decide to go this route, there are plenty of free tools that make your job even easier, like SurveyMonkey and Google Forms. Both of these survey platforms are user-friendly - perfect for a busy PBIS Committee.
Regardless of the option you choose, it's vital that your PBIS Committee pick a strategy and plan ahead. Think about how much feedback and detail you need, and how much time you can spare. Once you have a plan in place, the task of gathering input from everyone will seem much more manageable.
Have you tried any of these methods yet? Let us know how it went! Tweet @whyliveschool or share your story with @liveschool on Facebook.

I got hold of one of both "Lord of Battles" rondels last year. For the price, I was pleasantly surprised: well put together, sturdy, historically plausible (from some distance).
Both are sturdy, perfect candidates for upgrades. It took me 2 minutes to disassemble - good surprise as nothing is glued. A few pass on the "peened" tang top and I was able to unscrew everything.
Nut and top rondel are simply screwed on. Wood grip and brackets are loose, which could not be better to tweak and play around with. So for 57$, I have a dagger kit including a nice roped wooden grip, 2 grip brackets, a very sturdy triangular blade (with a beefy threaded tang), 2 nicely shaped rondels (the discs tapper towards the edge), a steel scabbard shape I can work with. Scabbard and bayonnet style loop suspension had a one way trip to the bin. Most of the hard work is done, everything is pre-assembled and ready for tweaks...so pretty happy with a purchase I was not fully convinced about.
This will be an excuse to do an rondel scabbard, always wanted to make one of those, but I could not resist and started messing about with the discs and wooden grip. I'll make the grip profile more subtle, file work the grip brackets, peen the all thing. I've started working on the discs - black and decker power file...35 minutes so far. I'll refine with dremel and file work.
Oooh! Exciting project! I've wondered about those as project pieces, so this will be fun to watch.
I'm sure you have Sean! I'll try not to go overboard and finish within the next 2 month instead of embarking on a 2 to 4 years epic project . I keep on screwing up my shape brazing on my Durer project and I needed a break.
Mine's ordered! I see some silver wire wrap on a grip and some file-worked rondels in my future. Sheath.....not too sure yet....may keep the bottom chape and build around it.
Thx Mark, looking forward to see what you'll make of it too. These rondels are easy to work with, especially the top one that you can screw on the tang and clamp on a vice and file away. Yeah keeping the shape is a good idea, not hard to make more appealing with some filling too. Should look good on a double layered veg tan scabbard.
Thanks much for the lead. Had started a rondel project several months ago and was considering butchering an old bayonet for the blade.

250 jobs lost in Canada with end of U.K. brand Jacques Vert
Category:	Economic
About 256 Canadian jobs will be lost with the collapse of British womenswear maker Calvetron Brands, which is behind labels such as Précis, Eastex and Jacques Vert.
The company has been under bankruptcy protection since last May, but failed to find a buyer, according to administrators Duff & Phelps.
On Friday, it announced that all of its concessions, which are inside larger retailers such as department stores, will close.
The Bay in Canada carried the Jacques Vert, Précis Petit and Eastex.lines of womenswear.
Employees in Canada have been told they will be laid off by September.
About 1,400 jobs will be lost in the U.K., Ireland and Canada, according to Duff & Phelps.
"We have explored a number of potential options, however no viable offers for the business as a going concern have been received," Duff & Phelps joint administrator Benjamin Wiles said.
"Calvetron Brands has faced the perfect storm of extremely difficult trading conditions on the high street, rising costs and low customer confidence all of which hindered our ability to secure a buyer."

The father of a loyalist paramilitary murder victim is to pursue legal action over the decision not to bring charges against former police officers implicated in the killing.
Raymond McCord's lawyers are pressing ahead with a High Court challenge after rejecting a PPS offer to have a senior barrister carry out a further evaluation.
A judge has listed his case for a hearing in November.
Mr McCord's 22-year-old son, Raymond McCord Jnr, was beaten to death in November 1997.
The killing was at the centre of a report by former police ombusdman Nuala O'Loan which found collusion between a UVF gang and their Special Branch handlers.
Earlier this year loyalist supergrass Gary Haggarty was jailed after confessing to hundreds of paramilitary offences. His catalogue of crime included five murders - but not that of Mr McCord Jnr.
The 46-year-old pleaded guilty as part of a deal that offered a reduced sentence in return for providing evidence on other terror suspects.
His prison term was slashed from 35 years to six-and-a-half years due to the assistance provided to police.
Haggarty implicated 16 people in crime, but only one man currently faces prosecution for murder.
Former director of public prosecutions Barra McGrory announced last year that his claims alone were insufficient to prove allegations made against the other suspects.
Mr McCord then issued judicial review proceedings against the PPS for failing to review the decision not to bring charges against former police officers implicated in the alleged failure to prevent his son's murder.
His lawyers claimed the position was unlawful and "deprecated" the weight which could be given to Haggarty's evidence.
A potential resolution to the litigation emerged in April when the PPS confirmed that a review of the decision not to prosecute the former police officers was to be carried out.
But Mr McCord's legal team rejected the move, claiming the same senior counsel who advised on decisions not to prosecute in another Haggarty-related case would be involved in the review.
His solicitor, Ciaran O'Hare of McIvor Farrell said "the review that has been offered by the PPS falls manifestly short of the key principles of transparency, freshness and independence from the original decision maker.


Our Lady of Guadalupe is the most important religious icon in the Americas. This lavish pop-up tells her story and that of Juan Diego, the humble Mexican peasant to whom she appeared on a hill in Tepeyac. The Virgin tells Juan Diego that Tepeyac is the place where she would like her sacred house built, that she will love and help all who seek her there, and that he must relay this to the bishop. At first Juan Diego is not believed, and the bishop asks that he return with proof. Vivid pop-ups convey the anticipation when the Virgin tells him to fill his cloak with flowers and the thrill as Juan Diego presents the flowers to the bishop, revealing a beautiful image of the Virgin on his cloak.

Listen to the words when spoken with all your heart.
Listen to the words, and hear them from the very start.
Listen to the words of the Lord, and take time to hear.
Hear the words and feel them, perhaps even shed a tear.
Shed not a tear out of sorrow.
Shed one, in thanks for tomorrow.
Shed one for the lives, of those you know and love.
Shed a tear of thanks, for the love of God above.
Be of a thankful mind and heart.
Thankfully allow God's spirit into your heart.
Let the Lord's words and meaning enter into your soul.
Having a thankful mind and heart should be your highest goal.
For he who gives thanks for the Lord's word, has heard every one.
For he who gives thanks for the word, also knows what the Lord has done.
He is thankful to the Lord for every breathing day.
He is thankful for having been taught how to pray.
So take the time to listen, and to say a prayer.
Take time to listen and pray to God, for He does care.
Take time to listen and to truly hear.
Take time to remember, God loves us all here.

Not so long ago some of pretty recognizable names of Swedish music - Miike Snow, Lykke Li, Peter Bjorn and John and some other less recognizable ones have set up their own lable Ingrid which has already got releasing plan for this summer and one of the first releases to come out is a compilation "Ingrid Volym 1" including songs of Lykke Li, Little Majorette and Karlsson & Winnberg (guys behind Miike Snow).
Mostly we were interested in Lykke Li's song "Come Near" which was already performed live at concerts last year and probably has just become a leftover from "Wounded Rhymes". Finally it has leaked. In studio version of the track you can really feel atmosphere of "Wounded Rhymes", right that sort of paranoid pop in all its epic and depressive atmosphere. Fans of "Wounded Rhymes" will be absolutely pleased with it.

Home is where the heart is. Or Lena Horne's forks.
Until 2005, under John Paul II, the papal apartment was run by Polish nuns. The memores aren't nuns, do not wear religious garments, are laypeople and live in the world. But this isn't the first time that lay housekeepers are allowed inside the papal apartment. In 1922, upon his election, Pope Pius XI demanded that his housekeeper follow him inside the Vatican. When he was told this might seem inappropriate and had no precedent, Pius cut it short: "I'll be the first one then," he was said to have responded.
As part of Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey Buckingham wrote some of rock 'n' roll's most eternally beloved songs, and the bedroom in his Los Angeles home is packed with artifacts that have influenced his creative path over the years.… Among the treasures: a Martin D-18 acoustic guitar he bought at age 19 ("It's gotten better and mellower with age...a bit like me"), a boogie board ("The sensibility of water is something I hope would enter my music"), and vinyl 45s by Elvis and Chuck Berry that sparked his interest in rock 'n' roll.
Proulx's house is newly built: its roof is lined with solar panels and a well-stocked greenhouse sits to one side.... Past the kitchen, a dining-room table and sitting area give way to a large room with a writing desk and hundreds of books arranged on metal shelves. Proulx takes great pride in her library, and the books are separated by category, providing a quick summary of Proulx's particular interests: water, fire, fur trade, maritime, river travel, gates, textiles, rodeo, livestock, death, outdoors, Indian wars. A section devoted to her own work is labeled oeuvre.
Now I live in Worthington, in a house built in the late 1800s, with four white columns and a circular porch painted a pale pearl gray that I imagined Pauline de Rothschild might have used.... Although I've collected wonderful china, acquired sterling silver knives and forks from Lena Horne's estate sale at Doyle this year, and I shop without ceasing actually, I do not entertain in my home. Cupboards are jammed with beautiful porcelain and plates from Paris, napkins, linens, tablecloths, crystal, and I have yet to give my first dinner or luncheon party.
After the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, Sarah was trapped in her bedroom for a short time of seven hours. However, when she got out, she told the construction crews to stop working on the nearly completed front part of the house and had her carpenters board it up, leaving most of the extensive earthquake damage unrepaired.... Due to constant construction and the lack of a master plan, the house became very large and quite complex; many of the serving staff needed a map to navigate the house. The house also features doors that open into walls, staircases that lead nowhere, the recurring number 13, and windows that look into other walls.

`SwiftExceptionCatcher` allows Swift Code to catch exceptions thrown from Objective-C code.

This is useful when using Thrift libraries, where it is perfectly normal for code to throw `NSException` types.

# Cocoapods
```xml
pod 'SwiftExceptionCatcher', :git => 'https://github.com/RedRoma/SwiftExceptionCatcher.git'
```

## Using the RedRoma Repository
```xml
# RedRoma Repository
source 'https://github.com/RedRoma/CocoaSpecs.git'

pod 'SwiftExceptionCatcher', '1.0'
```

# API
Simply wrap the code-in-play in the `tryOp` function call.

```js
var object: SomeObjectThatThrows
...
do {
    try tryOp() { object.act() }
}
catch let ex is AromaException {
    print("Aroma Failed: \(ex")
}
catch let ex {
    print("Exception: \(ex")
}

```
