Survey: Nearly 2 In 3 Have Lost Or Had Stolen Their Wallet - FOX21- Entertaining Delmarva One Click at a Time
Survey: Nearly 2 In 3 Have Lost Or Had Stolen Their Wallet
Thursday, March 28, 2019 10:07 PM EDT
Have you ever experienced that sinking feeling when you reach in your pants or purse for your wallet, and it's gone? You're not alone. According to an exclusive MoneyTips survey, 62% of respondents have had their wallets lost or stolen. More than 1 in 3 had suffered both from wallet loss and theft, while 36% of those admitting misplacing their wallet did so repeatedly!
"These numbers remind me to limit the credit cards and cash I carry, and to make sure I know how to contact every credit card issuer in my wallet," says Greg Scott, an IT professional and identity theft victim. "I should probably also keep a copy of my driver's license, insurance cards, and other 'wallet stuff' somewhere safe. Just in case."
In an exclusive MoneyTips Survey conducted in November of 2018, we asked:
Of the 509 respondents, 316 (62%) admitted losing their money holder (we'll use 'wallet' from now on to represent these four accessories) or having it stolen, while 193 (38%) said they hadn't. It appears the fatter it was, the more likely it would disappear; 73% of those with annual salaries of $150,000 or higher had their wallets vanish, as opposed to just 63% of those earning less.
We then asked people to explain how their wallets disappeared and were relieved to find out that misplacement was much more prevalent than theft.
Of the 316 who couldn't locate their wallet, 293 (93%) admitted losing it at least once. Of those forgetful people, 187 (64%) reported losing it just a single time, while a whopping 36% of them didn't learn from their mistakes and lost their wallet repeatedly. More than 1 in 5 (21%) of the wallet-losers went through the harrowing experience twice. Rounding out the forgetful field, 7.8% of the absent-minded admitted losing it three times, 2.4% four times, and 4.8% more than 4 times!
"Since I'm part of the 64 percent, these numbers don't surprise me," says Scott, author of the identity theft book Bullseye Breach. "There are lots of reasons for losing a wallet. Since most of us carry a wallet for our entire adult lives, it's not hard to imagine at least one careless moment over all those years."
We were surprised when we looked at age as a factor.
We expected to find older people admitting losing (misplacing) their wallet more than younger people as they had much more opportunity (not to mention "senior moments"), but the youngest group, 18-29-year-olds, admitted losing their wallets more than any other group. It's true that among the wallet-losers, those who lost it exactly once did increase with age. But the percentage who admitted losing their wallet more than once dropped from a high of 39% (ages 18-29) to 38% (ages 30-44) to 36% (ages 45-60) to 31% for the eldest (ages >60).
Scott, who examined the MoneyTips data, admits, "This is a surprise. I expected people older than 60 to report more instances, not fewer, because we're exposed for more years."
But Professor Steve Weisman, who teaches White Collar Crime at Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts, was not surprised by the data. "The Federal Trade Commission has found that millennials are actually more likely than the elderly to become the victims of identity theft or scams. We don't have definitive evidence as to why this is so, but it may relate to millennials not appreciating how at risk they are in regard to identity theft."
Finally, we examined the people who reported having their wallet stolen.
Of the 316 who couldn't locate their wallet, 196 (62%) reported having it stolen at least once. Of those victims, the vast majority (71%) said it was stolen exactly once, 21% said it was stolen twice, and 5.1% believed it was taken three times. Although only 0.5% reported it taken four times, 2.6% reported having their wallet stolen more often than that! Of those who couldn't locate their wallet, 66% of the women surveyed reported having their wallet stolen, compared to "only" 57% of the men.
Overall, only 38% managed to hang on to their money holder. 58% misplaced their wallets, 39% had them stolen, while 62% (nearly 2 in 3) either lost or had it stolen. More than 1 in 3 surveyed (35%) suffered from both wallet loss and theft. While nearly 1 in 4 (22%) had lost their wallet but not had it taken, less than 5% had it taken but had never lost their wallet.
Says Michael Zey, Ph.D., Professor of Management at Montclair State University's Feliciano School of Business, "The survey's finding that four in ten respondents have had their wallets stolen shows how vulnerable the public has become to criminal behavior. Many of these thefts are caused by people's everyday carelessness, such as leaving unattended personal belongings like coats and handbags in shopping carts, restaurants, libraries, airports, movie theaters and a host of other venues. And too many people pay more attention to their smart devices rather than their surroundings, including people around them. Such behavior is an open invitation to individuals only too willing to unburden them of their most valued possessions, especially their wallets. Personal safety requires eternal vigilance and caution."

Denver's independent source of
Michael Roberts May 17, 2001 4:00AM
It's been over a month since the official deployment of the Denver dailies' joint-operating agreement, and the chaos has hardly calmed, particularly in a business sense. Publicly, the Denver Newspaper Agency, which handles all non-editorial functions of the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Post, insists that plummeting circulation and advertising volume are of no serious concern. But behind the scenes, DNA reps are scrambling to retain clients even as other media operations are busily luring new dollars their way. Moreover, this free-for-all is unlikely to be over anytime soon. According to Marv Rockford, vice president and general manager of Channel 4, one of the area outlets to see an uptick in sales, "I think we're talking about many months, and perhaps even a couple of years, before things settle out."
All is not awful for the News and the Post, especially in terms of labor. In April, News editorial types ratified a new long-term contract, joining their brethren at the Post, who have inked a nearly identical pact. Since DNA business-siders are also under contract, these arrangements squelch the threat of strikes for years to come: Says Tony Mulligan, administrative officer for the Denver Newspaper Guild, "We're solid through 2008." In addition, a voluntary buyout offer made to over 300 workers in the production department last month is, to all appearances, running smoothly and hasn't triggered a notable public-relations hit.
Which can't be said in several other cases. Since the early-April debuts of the JOA-imposed weekend editions, DNA operators have been besieged by complaints about confusing TV listings, and many readers have also been baffled by production idiosyncrasies like varying page sizes and, in the May 13 Post, the splitting of the gargantuan comics section into two halves located in different parts of the paper. Likewise, the two-week absence of Monday-Thursday listings for Landmark Theatres venues such as the Mayan dismayed folks more into Memento than The Mummy Returns. Michael Williams, a Landmark spokesman, blamed the situation on ad-rate hikes that the chain was unwilling to pay given its current financial situation: Landmark's parent company, Silver Cinemas International, is bankrupt. (Oaktree Capital, described by Variety as a "vulture fund" that frequently partners with Denver moneybags Phil Anschutz, purchased Silver Cinemas at auction late last month; the deal is expected to close shortly.) Landmark eventually returned to its place in the so-called "Movie Timeclock," but only after a monetary compromise was reached.
The DNA doesn't like to talk about such arrangements, which can't help but recall the recent newspaper-war days when rate cards were widely ignored. Although agency spokesman Jim Nolan concedes that some new ad packages have been created to entice reluctant buyers, including a Monday-Thursday "introductory program" aimed at small businesses, he specifically denies rumors that rates have quietly been cut in the wake of widespread advertiser defections. Yet bargaining is taking place, and on a greater scale than has been acknowledged thus far. Mattress Factory, a major bedding firm that dropped out of the dailies when rates skyrocketed, returned to the Post on May 10, and according to a reliable source, it did so after DNA sales reps substantially lowered the take-it-or-leave-it price tag they presented mere weeks before. (Mattress Factory representatives declined comment.)
Nevertheless, ad totals in the average News and Post are down noticeably, and the words in some of those that remain carry a sting: One Tattered Cover notice sported the lines, "Due to increased advertising rates, we can no longer include all current events in this weekly ad."
That's not to mention updated circulation figures released by the Audit Bureau of Circulations on April 30, in which the Post's daily average dove by 11.9 percent and the News's fell off by 17.9 percent. In some ways, these dropoffs help. The DNA saves money when people cancel subscriptions bought at penny-a-day rates, and it does the same when a slimmed-down paper generates the same ad revenue as a fatter one did; the result is more profit per page. That's the tune the DNA's Nolan is singing, anyhow. "We're still transitioning to a new business model, one that moves from volume selling to value selling, and things are going pretty much as we anticipated," he says. "We're seeing a lot of the old free and heavily discounted advertising wash from the system, and that helps us in the long run."
Still, those advertisers need to go somewhere, and they're finding plenty of media outlets willing to welcome them aboard, including the Denver Daily News, a Monday-Friday newspaper whose first edition hit the streets last week. The Daily News's initial circulation was 1,000, with distribution focused on the downtown area, and while publisher-editor Mike Kirschbaum expects the numbers to grow by 1,000 copies per week, making that happen will be difficult given the paper's modest, eight-page size and dearth of original articles (the May 11 issue was dominated by copy ripped from the Associated Press wire). But Kirschbaum is optimistic and says the situation at the dailies hasn't hurt his cause. "We didn't time our launch to the JOA," he says. "But the JOA environment makes things a little more relaxing for us."
Russ Littler, president of The Employment News, sees the JOA as something more -- a golden opportunity. Littler's Denver-based company, which has branches in ten cities, produces weeklies specializing in job-oriented classified advertising, a longtime cash cow for daily newspapers that's trending downward nationwide due to increased competition from the Internet and other venues. (For example, recruitment advertising in the mighty Washington Post dipped a stunning 30 percent during 2001's first quarter.) Over the years, Littler has occasionally run radio ads in Denver touting The Employment News, but in the wake of the April jump in DNA rates, he authorized his company's largest local campaign to date -- a blitz of radio and (for the first time ever) television spots declaring that an ad in The Employment News costing a few hundred dollars would go for several thousand bucks in the Sunday Post. This approach has been effective, Littler believes; he's seen significant declines in other markets because of the soft economy, but his cash flow in Denver is holding steady.
Representatives at Denver radio and television mainstays are doing better than that, if not enormously so. Roger Ogden, president and general manager at Channel 9, says, "There's been a little upside, but not a windfall"; Graham Satherlie, general sales manager for Channel 7, says, "A lot of very interesting people who shall remain nameless are talking to us about what they want to do in the future"; and Lee Larsen, vice president and general manager for Clear Channel, says, "We've had a noticeable increase." Along with Channel 4's Rockford, these three confirm that their reps are actively pitching potential clients about the power of broadcast advertising, and a reasonable percentage of local businesspeople who've done all or most of their selling through the newspapers seem receptive to the idea of trying new things.
Of course, DNA account executives are doing likewise, even going so far as to target advertisers in this very publication, which has seen its page count climb steadily since April. A letter attacking Westword via the line "LET'S COMPARE PURE VOLUME" promises that qualifying signees "will receive an extra 20 percent off per ad with the 12-week commitment or an extra 40 percent off per ad with the 26-week commitment."
Monty Hall would feel right at home.
The name game: Last week in this space, consumer advocate and self-declared "troubleshooter" Tom Martino announced plans to file a lawsuit against Scott McDonald, the former managing editor at Channel 31, where Martino also works, for allegedly defrauding him of $50,000 -- and he said he'd finger Channel 31 in the document as well. Thus far, however, he hasn't followed through. Jody Reuler, Martino's lawyer, says Martino had to leave town late last week to care for his ailing mother, thus delaying the suit's filing by approximately two weeks. But Reuler insists that Martino has no intention of dropping the matter and will likely bring it before the courts upon his return.
Meanwhile, the McDonald affair received major play by numerous Denver media outlets, Channel 31 included. The most devoted scribe was Penny Parker, gossip columnist for the Rocky Mountain News, who wrote about it on four separate occasions and induced a pair of local celebrities not previously linked to McDonald -- Barry Fey! Ed Greene! -- to reveal that he'd approached them with investment schemes as well. Pretty soon people will be pretending that they were scammed for fear of seeming too unimportant for McDonald to shake down.
That's not the way it was prior to the day the story broke. Indeed, three sources who spoke to yours truly only after receiving a promise not to use their names insist that Denver Post staffer Joanne Ostrow made a similar pledge but then printed their monikers anyhow. Ostrow refutes this charge: She says she received approval from each person with whom she spoke before printing their names in her May 9 article on McDonald. But she confirms that she never called Channel 31 personalities David Treadwell and Will Jones before writing that they were owed money. Ostrow says, "I got their names from McDonald" -- a man under investigation by the Denver District Attorney's Office -- and gave neither a chance to respond.
According to Ostrow, Post rules state that articles can't use anonymous sources, but that's an oversimplification. Post editor Glenn Guzzo maintains that there can be exceptions to the policy, but he acknowledges a "predisposition" toward the presence of names. This tendency cuts both ways: Some readers believe that unnamed sources damage a piece's credibility, while others understand that certain stories might not otherwise reach the public. But there's no doubt that sources who've been burned are less likely to take a journalist's word in the future, and that only adds to the perception that reporters are two-faced scumbags who can't be trusted.
Back to McDonald: One source who still wants to remain anonymous (despite being named in the Post) received $500 from McDonald last week, or just over 5 percent of the amount owed. Payback is a bitch.
The dinner party: How close did Steve Kelley come last week to quitting his job at Colorado Morning News, KOA's morning-drive staple? That depends on whom you ask. Kelley didn't return calls from Westword, nor did April Zesbaugh, his CMN co-host, but KOA program director Don Martin allows that tensions were running high. As he puts it, "Steve Kelley had a bad day."
The brouhaha began after CMN scored big in the latest ratings book: Martin says the program was number one among listeners ages twelve and above, and a shade off the top spot in the key 25-54 demographic. To celebrate, plans were made to treat the show's staff to a May 12 dinner at swanky Brook's Steak House -- but somewhere along the line, word got out that spouses and significant others could not attend. (Although several insiders say guests were invited, then uninvited, Martin denies it.) Upset, Kelley stormed into Martin's office on May 10 and, after the two exchanged heated words, stormed out again. When Kelley played hooky from the next day's broadcast, rumors circulated that he'd resigned -- but he was back behind the microphone on May 14.
What happened? The aforementioned insiders say feathers were smoothed after a meeting between KOA honchos and Kelley's lawyers, but Martin won't go there. The way he tells it, "Steve was upset about some things and walked out. But after that, he was allowed to say his piece, I was allowed to say mine, and cooler heads prevailed -- and his butt's back on the radio again."
Oh, yeah: Kelley dined at Brook's on May 12. Sans one wife.

The phone that knows it's being watched.
Getting bored of texting and want to call your friend instead? Normally you drop out of the app, go into contacts to call or use speech recognition but the S3 makes this simpler. In the screen where you are texting, pull the phone up to your ear and it starts to call that person.
Samsung Galaxy S3 – Svoice.
It seems you can ask the phone simple questions via voice recognition such as "what's the weather like in London?" The Samsung Galaxy S3 will go off and bring back results in a style similar to Siri but more graphically pronounced.
The phone itself is inspired by nature and this is apparently the reasoning behind the nice sleek curved back of the phone. Other features like tapping the home screen and watching the ripple effect giving you a theme of nature from holding to interaction.
It's certainly shaping up to be a phone that isn't going to leave anyone disappointed. Being specification heavy there is plenty of grunt for multitasking. Example; you could watch videos in a small thumbnail whilst browsing, tweeting, facebooking etc etc.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 will be available in stores from 29 May.

After the WWII, Enewetak Atoll was used to test nuclear weapons; the program ran from 1948 to 1958. After an intermittent use from 1958 to 1972 it was decided to return Enewetak Atoll to the Marshallese after the establishment and completion of the clean-up operations. The island of Runit (on Eastern side of Atoll). A cleanup plan was devised to remove all radioactive and non-radioactive debris (equipment, concrete, scrap metal), soil that exceeded 1.48Bq of plutonium per gram of soil and depositing it into the Cactus test crater on Runit Island. Approximately 73,000 cubic meters of surface soil from 6 islands were removed and deposited into the crater.
This project uses a Porites coral collected in 2003 from the lagoon side of Runit Island to reconstruct the radiocarbon history. The coral core covers the years 1982-2003 with radiocarbon measurements every two months. Preliminary results suggest slightly elevated radiocarbon measurements when compared to external coral datasets. At this point it is unknown if the slightly elevated measurements are due to the dome or the much higher inventory of radionuclides in the atoll lagoon sediments.

The George Washington Colonials are thirteen women's and eleven men's teams that play for George Washington University in NCAA Division I. Most of them participate in the Atlantic 10 Conference. Selected sports are represented in the Collegiate Water Polo Association, College Squash Association, Middle Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association, Intercollegiate Sailing Association, and East Atlantic Gymnastics League. The university does not currently have a football program: it existed from 1881 to 1966, after which it was abolished due to disproportionately high costs and a lack of spectators.
The previous emblem, like the name of the sports department, reflects America's historical past. It depicts the very George Washington, who stood at the origins of the United States. True, the image is rather caricatured: the drawn character runs with a furious expression on his face and holds a large blue flag with the letters "GW" in his left hand. He lifted his leg to jump over the Colonials George Washington University sign. The first word is yellow and, thanks to the unusual font, immediately catches the eye. The name of the university is white and barely noticeable.
In 2009, sports teams adopted a new logo because the old one was overwhelmed. The first president of the United States was replaced by a simple monogram consisting of "G" and "W." The letters are golden, with white highlights and a blue outline. The same sign was used in 1997-2008, as secondary.
George Washington Colonials Basketball Logo
The George Washington Colonials basketball team played its first season in 1912-1913. Her achievements include participating in two CBI events, six National Invitation Tournaments, and eleven NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournaments.
George Washington Colonials Baseball Logo
The university introduced the baseball team in 1891. They have won at least eight championships. He currently plays home games at Tucker Field (Barcroft Park).

A flash mob of over fifty teens randomly beat several people in Philly's City Center on Saturday night.
The news media won't describe the attackers but the kids were undoubtedly black teens.
There was a similar attack at Temple University in October.
Several people were hurt, including an off-duty police officer, in what people called a "flash mob" attack in Center City on Saturday night.
According to police, a smaller group of juveniles broke off from a large crowd and began attacking people in the area of 16th and Walnut streets around 6 p.m. Saturday night. Six people were injured.
Officials say one of the victims was a 55-year-old police officer, who was off-duty at the time. The officer, who has not yet been identified, was punched repeatedly while trying to grab one of several teens kicking two individuals and suffered a possible fracture to his right orbital bone. His wife was also assaulted and punched in the face after throwing water on the assailants in an attempt to stop their attack.

Ohio State DT Haskell Garrett Named To All-Big Ten Team
By Patrick MayhornNovember 30, 2021 (12:56 pm)Football
Ohio State super senior defensive tackle Haskell Garrett has been selected to the All-Big Ten first-team on Nov. 30 as part of its first batch of postseason award announcements. He's the lone Buckeye selected to the first-team league group on the defensive side of the ball after it struggled in getting off the field for much of the season. He joins Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, Penn State defensive end Arnold Ebiketie and Purdue defensive end George Karlaftis on the defensive line.
A 2020 first-team All-American by CBS Sports, Garrett saw his role decrease slightly with the Buckeyes this season and even fell out of the starting lineup near the end of the season, but still racked up 22 tackles, including seven behind the line with 5 1/2 sacks. Both of those marks are team-high totals.
Garrett made news early in the week when he issued a public apology for Ohio State's loss to Michigan on Nov. 27, 42-27.
"To Buckeye Nation, I want to take this moment to apologize for a failed mission," Garrett wrote in his message. "As a defensive leader, I did not uphold the standard that was set before me in that game. Thank you all for sticking with us during a winter's cold yesterday. May the rivalry clock reset. Go Bucks."
The Buckeye defense placed a pair on the coaches' list of second-teamers in defensive lineman Tyreke Smith and safety Ronnie Hickman, and a third on the third-team in end Zach Harrison, along with cornerback Denzel Burke. The media grouping flipped Smith and Hickman with Harrison but did not select the freshman cornerback. Cornerbacks Sevyn Banks and Cam Brown, defensive tackle Antwuan Jackson and returner Emeka Egbuka were named honorable mentions by coaches and media while Burke, linebackers Steele Chambers and Tommy Eichenberg, safety Bryson Shaw and defensive tackles Taron Vincent and Tyleik Williams earned it just from the media.
Ohio State was without a defensive award winner. Offensive awards will be announced on Wednesday and are expected to heavily feature the Buckeyes.

The European project ECCOFLOW aims at a versatile resistive-type superconducting fault current limiter. For the first time, such a device will be tested at two different sites. The project partners have developed a superconducting fault current limiter design based on REBCO tapes with respect to the specifications provided by two hosting utilities. The limiter will operate at 1 kA at a rated voltage of 24 kV, and will be tested in both a busbar and a transformer feeder application. The design started with extensive investigations on the superconductor tape properties, especially with respect to the limitation behavior in all possible scenarios, and subsequent wide-range modeling of its in-grid behavior. The general integrated layout provides a limitation time of up to 1 s. The limiter is cooled using Gifford-McMahon cryocoolers to recondense the evaporated nitrogen. The present status of production and testing will be presented as well.

Tom Holland teases many more 'Spider-Man' sequels
Scott Campbell Jan 15, 2022 4:49 am 2022-01-15T04:49:31-05:00
Even though Sony producer Amy Pascal may have jumped the gun a little when she outlined her intentions for another trilogy of Spider-Man movies with Tom Holland in the lead role, they're almost definitely going to happen.
As things stand, though, the actor's fourth solo outing is the only one officially confirmed to be in development, and even then it's only been a month since No Way Home was unleashed onto an unsuspecting world, where it currently ranks as the eighth highest-grossing movie ever made.
There's no doubt we'll be seeing Holland's Peter Parker back on our screens at least a couple more times, and in accepting No Way Home's trio of Golden Tomato awards from Rotten Tomatoes, the 25 year-old teased that multiple sequels are on the way.
"Guys, Spider-Man: No Way Home has received three Golden Tomatoes, so I just wanted to say a massive thank you on behalf of everyone from Sony and Marvel, the critics, the fans who have shown so much love and respect and support for our movies. It means the world and hopefully, we can do it again and again and again. But thank you, thank you, thank you. And we'll see you soon."
'Spider-Man: No Way Home' releases official promo art of the heroes
The burning question surrounding Holland's Spider-Man 4 is how it could possibly top the success of No Way Home, but it looks as though Sony and Marvel Studios aren't even going to try, at least in terms of scope, scale, and spectacle. The end of the threequel wiped the slate fairly clean, sending Peter off to college with less to worry about than we've become accustomed to seeing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Contests are perfect for freelancers who want to showcase their work and are excited by competition. Winning means you earn money, build your reputation, and get the chance for more work, all while learning more about your skills.
Of course, anyone* can! And it's free.
*Anyone who is a registered freelancer on our site, has the drive to improve and win, and completes the verification requirements.
Find the contests that interest you by reading through the descriptions in the browse jobs page: Contests come in a wide range of categories, with a majority being design-related. However, there are also a large number of video, writing, and programming contests that are also regularly open.
Understand what the contest holder wants: If you feel that there are important details left out of the description, ask a question on the Public Clarification Board that is found in a contest's view page. Do your research. Observe the entries that get 5 star ratings, and read through the contest holder's comments.
Once you have an idea that fits the contest holder's needs, craft your entry. Showcase your skills and creativity! Just make sure that it's an acceptable file type.
What happens after I submit my entry?
Your participation in the contest doesn't end after submitting that first entry. Contest holders can rate your work and give feedback. Take this chance to improve your work and get closer to winning.
If you have several ideas for a contest, make sure you submit all of them. This includes changes in color and the arrangement of elements, as they can make all the difference in showing the contest holder what they want.
And then there's waiting. While waiting for the result of a contest, your time is best used finding and joining more contests that interest you. That will just increase your chances of winning even further!
So when do I win?
You win when the contest holder awards your entry. They also have the option of buying your entry, in which case you'll get paid at the price you sell it for. You will be notified on Freelancer.com and on email when either of these happens, then you will be prompted to proceed with the handover process.
You will not win every contest. This is simply part of the competition, after all. However, if you sharpen your skills with each entry your work on, you never lose.
I'm new to Freelancer. Can I still participate?
Yes, as long as you meet the criteria* above. Contests are the best way for freelancers with no ratings on the platform to showcase their skills and build their reputation.
If you're an experienced freelancer, this is your chance to work on a wide range of jobs from around the world. Impressed contest holders might even offer you more work in the future.
If you're a new freelancer, invest more time in upgrading your skills and crafting the perfect entries. We want to make sure your effort goes into entries that have a good chance at winning. You can find resources for learning on our community blog. Aspiring designers can get ahead with these tutorials and tips.
TL;DR. What do I really need to know?
Copying other freelancer's work is strictly forbidden. Borrowing images taken from the internet is discouraged, unless otherwise specified by the contest holder.
All entries submitted must follow the contest brief. Placeholder entries are not allowed -- you can let the contest holder know that you plan to participate in the contest instead.
You can't own a generic design, and thus can't be paid for one. Take this chance to show off your creativity.
If you catch someone violating the rules, report them or tell them politely. Abusive language is not tolerated on the platform.
We hope this guide is the kickstart you need to join contests. As long as you continue to improve and play fair, contests are a great way to earn while you learn. Impressed contest holders and a good reputation will also lead to more work on Freelancer.

5 Dead, Hundreds of Homes and at Least Two Churches Hit in Alabama Tornado Outbreak March 25
Alabama Baptist SBOM
At least five people were killed and hundreds of homes — and at least two churches — were destroyed or damaged when tornadoes struck several Alabama communities on March 25.
The deaths occurred in Calhoun County in east Alabama, where Ohatchee, Wellington and nearby communities were struck.
Calhoun Baptist Association Director of Missions Roger Willmore said one church in the association, Wellington First Baptist Church, was "totally destroyed." It is the second time the church has been hit by a tornado. On April 27, 2011, the church suffered severe damage as the structure was rocked on its foundation, causing the backside of the building to fall off. That tornado also ripped away much of the church's roof. The rebuilding project following the 2011 tornadoes was completed in late 2012.
Calhoun County Sheriff Matthew Wade said the twister cut a diagonal path across the county, striking mostly rural areas — something that likely kept the death toll from being higher, he said…(continued)

Honestly I actually loved this book so much.
Marissa Meyer has done an amazing job of creating such a unique novel about cinderella with twist.
I would catorgorise this book in the Sci-Fi / Fantasy genres, and thats perfect as those are both one of my favorite genres!
First lets talk about the main characters.
Cinder is such a cool character, also she is a cyborg which is totally AWESOME! Cinder is so funny! Her character's sarcasm is on point and half the things she says crack me up, she is definitaly the perfect type of character for this novel.
Lets talk about Kai now, Kai is the prince of new beijing and he seeks Cinder to fix his android for him. When he goes to meet Cinder at her mechanic's booth theres a hint of flirtation there from Prince Kai which is so ADORABLE!!! Ok cmon when you read this book you will see that Kai is totally swoon worthy. ahhhh I love Kai.
Ok guys last thing about the characters in this book. Iko. Iko is Cinders android thingy and oh my gosh she is so cute! She follows Cinder around and helps her with everything and and Iko also has a celebrity crush on Kai!!!! She is such a chatter box and is so adorable. Who knew a mechanical machine could be so loveable??
The book has been written so well and Marissa has Done such an amazing job on this book.
This book is Cinderella with a twist and its been created so perfectly. The evil step mom and step sister are just like the ones in cinderella!, although the other sister Peony is friends with Cinder which works well because having Peony there shows how kind Cinder is!
Sorry for the long review I write way to much!
I definitaly recommend this book to all Young Adult lovers, It's worth the read and you won't regret it!
I rated this book a 5/5 stars and I cannot wait to read the rest of the books in the Lunar Chronicles!
If you would like to comment down below your favorite character from Cinder and Why!

Q: Is it possible to be "too good" at Spider Solitaire? There was a similar question here: Losing at Spider Solitaire However, what I'm asking is different.
The game has a rule that it would not deal the next ten cards, unless there is already a card in everyone of the ten slots. What I'm asking is whether it is theoretically possible that at any time, except the last deal, there might be a situation with less then 10 cards on the table? To me it feels like it should be possible, but it never happened to me, and I couldn't find any mention of it happening to anyone else...

A: The initial deal in Spider is 54 cards. Cards can only be removed in runs of 13 (A-K). So it is theoretically possible for that initial deal to allow you to remove four full runs of cards and be left with only 2 cards on the board (13 * 4 = 52).
Here is one initial position where the cards are dealt almost in sequence that would create this scenario:
QD KD AS 2S 6D 7D 8D 9D 0D JD
2D 3D 4D 5D 9C 0C JC QC KC AD
5C 6C 7C 8C QH KH AC 2C 3C 4C
8H 9H 0H JH 2H 3H 4H 5H 6H 7H
JS QS KS AH 5S 6S 7S 8S 9S 0S
AS 2S 3S 4S

A: I played Microsoft Solitaire Collection today and this exact situation just happened to me. I don't remember what the starting condition was but the chance for that to happen has to be extremely low. I made a screenshot of the situation:

I never had this before.

2013 Has been an amazing year and in a way I don't want this year to end. I cant complain about the bookings on Zen2 or the weather . It was a massive learning curve and the number of new waypoints on my GPS has exploded around the county. We started the season on the Eddystone launching from Plymouth . We fished Falmouth Bay and Lizard, Roseland , Porthleven and Mounts Bay, St Ives 7 Stones, Padstow and Newquay . One area of Cornwall I wont name has been bugging me for years, well were now fishing there and the results have been spectacular . This opens up a whole new chapter and I think that I will be headed that way a great deal more in 2014. I have 200 miles of coastline to keep me wondering what's around the next corner.
James is on fire !
Simons becoming a regular !
All this love and attention to Zen2 does come with a price tag. Its been very hard to keep the retail side flowing smoothly. I have no misconceptions about the lure market and where ukbassfishing.com fits into the status Quo. Uksaltwaterflies.com will be the focus for winter 2013 and 2014 its still unique and something to be proud of .

Airbus Delivers First A330-900 to Launch Operator TAP Air Portugal
France | November 26, 2018– TAP Air Portugal has taken delivery of the world's first new-generation widebody A330neo and, as the launch airline, will be the first to benefit from the aircraft's unbeatable operating economics, increased range, and Airbus' new Airspace cabin offering passengers the best in class comfort. The Portuguese carrier will take delivery of a further 20 A330-900s in the coming years.
TAP Air Portugal's first A330-900 is leased from Avolon. It features 298 seats in a comfortable three-class lay-out with 34 full-flat business class, 96 economy plus and 168 economy class seats. The Airspace by Airbus cabin offers more personal space, larger overhead storage bins, advanced cabin lighting and the latest-generation in-flight entertainment system and connectivity. The aircraft will be deployed on routes from Portugal to the Americas and Africa.
"I am delighted to welcome the first Airbus A330-900 into our expanding fleet. Its unbeatable economics and efficiency will power our business forward," said Antonoaldo Neves, TAP Air Portugal CEO. "The A330neo will give us a lot of operational flexibility thanks to its commonality with the other Airbus aircraft in our fleet. This aircraft will be the first equipped with the new Airspace cabin, which is a new concept shaped to meet TAP's ambition to offer the best product in the industry to our passengers," he added.
"Handing over the first ever A330neo to a long-standing Airbus customer, TAP Air Portugal, is a very important milestone for Airbus," said Guillaume Faury, President of Airbus Commercial Aircraft. "Through continuous innovations, the A330neo, our newest widebody aircraft, will offer maximum value and efficiency to our customers and superior comfort to their passengers. This occasion marks another step forward to meeting our industry's goal for sustainable aviation," he added.
The A330neo is a true new-generation aircraft building on the A330's success and leveraging on A350 XWB technology. It incorporates the highly-efficient new-generation Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, and a new higher span 3D optimised wing with new Sharklets fully optimised for the best aerodynamic performance. Together these advances bring a significant reduction in fuel consumption of 25 percent compared with older-generation competitor aircraft of a similar size. Moreover, new composite nacelles, a fully faired titanium pylon and zero-splice air inlet technology provide the A330-900 with state-of-the-art aerodynamics and acoustics.

Former jail guard accused of drug running claims his Charter rights were violated
A former jail guard at the Whitehorse Correctional Centre who was charged with possessing drugs for the purpose of trafficking says his rights were violated, Yukon Supreme Court heard this week.
PIerre Chauvin
Jun. 3, 2015 2:00 a.m.
Michael Gaber was charged on December 26 with possessing methylphenidate, also known as Ritalin, and marijuana for the purpose of trafficking.
The actual trial hasn't started yet as the court is hearing about the admissibility of some evidence.
Gaber's lawyer, David Tarnow, filed a Charter application, arguing that evidence for the case was gathered by breaching his clients' rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and should therefore be excluded from the trial.
The court heard from Geoffrey Wooding, the deputy superintendent of operation at the jail, Jayme Curtis, the superintendent, and Blane Damchuck, a manager of correctional services.
Gaber arrived at WCC on December 26 at around 2:30 p.m., and was called to a boardroom with Curtis and Wooding.
Curtis said he informed Gaber he had information about him potentially trying to smuggle contraband in the jail.
Gaber denied twice, and then after told his belongings were going to be searched, he emptied his pocket, revealing pills wrapped in a condom, Curtis said.
Curtis then told Gaber his car would be searched. Curtis called in Damchuck to be in the boardroom while Wooding searched the car. Wooding came back with two vacuum-sealed packages, one containing tobacco and one that looked like marijuana. There was also a Ziploc bag with cash in it, according to Wooding's testimony.
Gaber admitted he was paid to bring in the packages when asked, said Wooding, and the RCMP was then called.
When police officers arrived, Gaber was read his rights and brought to the police station.
In his Charter application, Tarnow argues the packages, pills, as well as statements by RCMP officers and jail officials should be dismissed.
He spent much of Monday and Tuesday's proceedings cross-examining the Crown's witnesses. At issue was whether Gaber had been unlawfully detained in the boardroom and whether he should been read his rights when jail officials started questioning him.
"Why didn't you tell him he had a right to speak to a lawyer?" Tarnow asked Wooding.
"We were conducting an investigation, he was an employee on paid time," answered the jail guard.
"Would Gaber have been allowed to leave (when in the boardroom)?" asked Tarnow.
"We had the power to detain him," said Wooding, adding that had Gaber tried to leave the guards would have had to make a decision about whether to detain him or not.
"You sir, are the champion of bureaucratic speech!" shouted Tarnow.
Wooding argued the signage in the WCC parking lot clearly indicates vehicles may be subject to search, negating the need for a warrant.
Tarnow also took issue with the fact Wooding was seen discussing with Curtis the questions Tarnow had asked after the preliminary hearing.
"After 30 years in the system, you didn't know it wasn't appropriate?" Tarnow asked Wooding.
"I understand it now," said Wooding.
Tarnow pointed out the similar wording both Wooding and Curtis used to answer why Gaber wasn't told he was detained or had right to speak to a lawyer. Both denied consulting with each other to prepare the testimony.
Curtis testified that he asked Gaber how long he had been smuggling contraband in the jail, how much he was paid, and who his clients were.
Curtis said Gaber was uneasy when he first arrived in the boardroom, then started breathing heavily after he was told about the search.
Crown attorney Ludovic Gouaillier asked Curtis why they didn't explicitly seek consent from Gaber before searching his belongings.
"Things were happening so fast," said Curtis, who admitted it was the first time in his career he had to search another officer suspected of bringing in contraband.
Tarnow also questioned the jail guards about an investigation conducted several years ago into allegations that Damchuck was bringing contraband in WCC. Wooding and Curtis were visibly uneasy when Tarnow asked about it.
Eventually Tarnow asked to see the files pertaining to the investigation into Damchuck, and the Crown agreed.
Tarnow asked Damchuck about the identity of the informant who let him know about the contraband and his motive for giving information to jail officials.
Damchuck said the informant asked for canteen privileges in exchange for the informations – food and products inmates can buy from the jail. He refused to tell the informant's name, as it would put his life in danger, he said.
As Tarnow was pressing Damchuck for more details about the informant, the judge reminded Tarnow to be careful.
"I'm getting closer," Tarnow answered.
"I don't think so," Justice Veale said.
The hearing about the evidence's admissibility continues today. Tarnow is expected to argue for the informant's identity to be released so he can be called to testify to the trial, something the Crown made it clear it was opposed to for safety reasons.

It's Time The San Antonio Spurs Rebuild
By Thomas J. Brown / NBA, US Sports / Comments
1 The Spurs' playoff streak was epic
2 Age and health are problems for the Spurs
3 The current roster still has some valuable assets
4 San Antonio has a young talent they could build around
5 The time to act is now
Last Updated on 17 Sep 2021 1:42 pm (UK Time)
This has been an NBA season unlike any other. The entire season was put into a four-month-long hiatus due to a once-in-a-century global pandemic. There was the loss of an iconic player to an unexpected tragedy and the passing of the greatest commissioner in the history of sports. Although those are the headlines we will all remember for the rest of our lives, something else epic happened this season too: The San Antonio Spurs missed the playoffs for the first time in over twenty years.
The Spurs' playoff streak was epic
Before discussing what went wrong this season and diving into possible solutions, the San Antonio Spurs' historic run must be saluted. Only the Detroit Red Wings (25 straight NHL playoff appearances) have a longer stretch of postseason appearances than San Antonio in the history of North American pro sports. To put the San Antonio Spurs streak of 22 consecutive playoff runs into perspective, this season's rookie of the year, Ja Morant, wasn't even born yet the last time the Spurs missed the playoffs. Hats off to Coach Gregg Popovich and his staff for such a historic run.
Age and health are problems for the Spurs
To be fair, the San Antonio Spurs did play well enough to be invited to the Orlando bubble. Meaning they weren't mathematically eliminated from the playoffs when the NBA put its season on hiatus in March. However, their best player, forward LaMarcus Aldridge, did not make the trip due to season-ending shoulder surgery. What will his health look like next season? Can the team continue to win with him as its centerpiece even when healthy?
Any time a player's health is brought into question, their age must be brought into the conversation. Aldridge is 35 years old, meaning his absolute peak years are clearly behind him. When he was signed as a free agent, it was with the understanding that Kawhi Leonard would be the man and Aldridge would be an elite second option. However, an unexpected chain of events led to Leonard's departure. Aldridge has handled the added responsibilities admirably. Still, it's time for San Antonio to at least consider moving in a different direction.
The current roster still has some valuable assets
Aldridge isn't the only veteran the team must make important decisions about this off-season. All-Star guard DeMar DeRozan is 31 years old and has a player option on his contract for next season. Given the uncertainty of what the market will look like this year, most players in DeRozan's position are expected to take the remaining year on their contract and stay with their current team.
However, if San Antonio Spurs decides it's time to embrace the youth movement, now may be the time to move DeRozan. That's a better option than letting him play his final year and then watching him walk away for nothing in 2021.
34-year-old forward, Rudy Gay is in a similar position. Next season will be the last of a two-year deal he signed in the summer of 2019. Although, still a solid rotation piece, a player his age whose battled injuries earlier in his career is not a building block for the future. These veterans have served San Antonio Spurs well, but the NBA is a business. It may be time to move on.
San Antonio has a young talent they could build around
If the San Antonio Spurs do decide to move on from their core of veteran players, they have two young up-and-comers who've both received the public endorsement of Coach Popovich. Dejounte Murray was a rookie the last time the Spurs were a real threat in the Western Conference.
That year San Antonio Spurs found themselves up by double digits in game 1 of the Western Conference Finals before Zaza Pachulia made a dirty play that altered the course of that series and the trajectory of the Spurs' franchise.
Since then Murray has gone through a serious injury, rehab, and completed the process of a full comeback. Coach Popovich even moved Spurs legend Tony Parker to the bench to hand Murray the keys to the backcourt. Next season will be Murray's fifth year in the league; is he ready to be the Spurs' new leader?
Another young Spur with a similar story is Lonnie Walker IV. After missing a good portion of his rookie year with a meniscus tear, Walker had a bounce-back second season, appearing in 61 games. Since his initial campaign was limited by injury, next season will be Walker's second year as a healthy player.
As a 6'5" combo guard with a huge upside, he could prove to be a very nice compliment to Murray in San Antonio's backcourt. Is having to come off the bench behind DeMar DeRozan stunting Walker's growth as a player? Inevitably, he will make mistakes as a young player with added responsibilities. Still, now could be the right time for him to develop faster as a full-time starter.
As an organization, the San Antonio Spurs have a lot to consider. Coming off a historic run of playoff appearances, led by a legendary coach, they are now at a crossroads as to what direction they should take.
Their three best players are in their mid-30's and the Western Conference is only getting stronger. One look at the teams who made this year's playoffs, combined with the teams whose absence can be largely attributed to injury, makes it hard to see a place for San Antonio among the top eight teams in the West next season.
The good news for San Antonio is they have a few veterans other teams may be interested in. They could potentially package the 11th pick in the draft in a trade that brings back some valuable assets.
San Antonio Spurs' epic run yielded five championships. The fact that its over is nothing to be ashamed of. Starting over is always painful and at times it lasts longer than a franchise intends. However, it's time for the Spurs to face the truth; the time to rebuild is now.r

Q: Execute function at specific moment with millisecond precision Faced an issue while trying to execute function at specific time.
The idea is that I've got a while loop for a random amount of time, where during that period of time I need to execute a beep sound for 50ms at randomly generated time and then reassign it again (so that in theory it can be called 1-3 times).
How can I ensure accurate timing?
For now I used:
random_time_loop = np.round(np.random.uniform(4,7), 3)
random_time_tone = np.round(np.random.uniform(2,3), 3)

print("Random_time: {}; random_time_tone: {}".format(random_time_loop, random_time_tone))

t_end = (datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(seconds=random_time_loop)).time()
t_tone = (datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(seconds=random_time_tone)).time()

print("current: "+str(datetime.datetime.now().time()))
print("t_end: "+ str(t_end))
print("t_ring: "+ str(t_tone))

while datetime.datetime.now().time() < t_end:
    if(datetime.datetime.now().time() == t_tone):
        print("Ring ring")
        print(str(datetime.datetime.now().time()) + "==" + str(t_tone))
        random_time_tone = np.round(np.random.uniform(2,3), 3)
        t_tone = (datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(seconds=random_time_tone)).time()
        print("New tone random time: {} ringing at: {}".format(random_time_tone, t_tone))
print("ended: {}".format(datetime.datetime.now().time()))

The output of this implementation:
Random_time: 5.684; random_time_tone: 2.909
current: 12:32:36.713071
t_end: 12:32:42.397056
t_ring: 12:32:39.622069
Ring ring
12:32:39.622101==12:32:39.622069
New tone random time: 2.663 ringing at: 12:32:42.285198
ended: 12:32:42.397059

As it can be seen current time is not exactly the same at time for function execution. Moreover, it was planned to ring at *42.285198, but it did not happen even though the process ended at *42.397059. Is it possible to ensure accurate execution with milliseconds precision? I've checked some other solutions, but most of them are trying to execute something once in a while and do not operate with such fluctuating timings.
PS. I understand that there's a small delay when executing code, so that datetime.now() may differ a bit especially when declaring t_end and t_tone (could be a bad implementation and rather use single "current_time" variable with the same current time assigned to it). Nevertheless, how can I ensure millisecond accuracy when comparing times.
Thank you in advance!

A: Its impossible to do that in an computer "common" operating system, you need some type of OS called RTOS, it's used in embedded systems programming to tackle this types of accuracy.
If you research more on this, you will notice that exist something called "Timer interruption" it's a hardware which main functionality is this types of things.
You need another way of implement this more "near" the hardware.
When you program microcontrollers, its very common work with this types of counters for timer events, basically you set a counter which will do something when it set to 0, and you can set millisecond, microseconds, etc., that's why this types of things are used for robotics and another special applications, like telecommunications.
It's a different world very distant from the common OS, you need to know much about C and hardware programming.

Great Britain's professional men's hockey team will be taking place in the 2019 IIHF World Championship games that are to be played next year in Slovakia, something that many were not expecting.
They managed to finish first in the 2018 Division 1 standings, giving them entrance to the games next year. What makes the feat even more remarkable is the fact that it will be first time they've taken part in the World Championships for 25 years.
The game that saw them through was their final match of the season, which they played against Hungary. Although Hungary got ahead with a 2 point lead, the Sheffield Steelers forward Robert Down scored with just nine minutes left in the game. Robert Farmer then managed one more point in the last 15.8 seconds, finalizing their place in the games for the next year.
The last IIHF games that the British attended was as far back as 1994. They finished at the bottom of the pile back then, with a final loss against Austria at 10-0, and they decided to call it quits for the next 25 years.
How far they will go next year will remain to be seen, but many have high hopes.

Q: Display records from a database and then when a new one is added automatically update the displayed records from the database with the new one I'm trying to display records from a database and then when a new one is added automatically update the displayed records from the database with the new one
I am doing this using php and javascript.
I want to load a page and display tags under a video and then when a user adds a new tag by entering it into text box to add it to the database and then refresh the part of the page which shows these tags and include the new one which has just been added all without the page being reloaded.

A: You will need to use Ajax and Javascript or a Javascript Framework like JQuery or Prototype to create HTML DOM Elements dynamically and show them to the user after the Ajax call returns the result.
UPDATE:
For JQuery + Ajax
--- Learning jQuery: 11 excellent resources
--- Simplify Ajax development with jQuery
--- Use jQuery and PHP to build an Ajax-driven Web page
For Example to create a HTML DOM Element in JQuery
var myLink = $("<a />");

//Add a link to it
myLink.attr('href', 'http://localhost/index.php');
//Add a text
myLink.text('Go Here');

//Add it to a div of id "myDiv"
$("#myDiv").append(myLink);

I hope this helps.

Glenwood to revisit purpose of River Commission
Local | April 7, 2017
Nick Cashman, Dean Rieger, Hayden Knapp and Justin Meagher hit the water off of Two Rivers Park.
Chelsea Self / Post Independent |
A night dominated by discussion about rivers, river habitat and river recreation might just have served to save the day for the Glenwood Springs River Commission.
City Council, at its Thursday meeting, put the brakes on a plan to combine the city's separate Parks and Recreation and River commissions, following pleas from river advocates for the city to maintain an advisory panel focused on cleaning up, restoring, protecting and preserving the city's waterways and riparian zones.
Recently, at the suggestion of some council members and city staff, the city put together a proposal to combine the two advisory commissions, partly because of some overlapping duties related to recreation trails planning, construction and maintenance. Waning participation by some of the appointed commission members also weighed into the thinking.
It was that decision several years after the River Commission was formed, essentially putting the river stewards in charge of carrying out the city's river trails master plan, that pulled the commission away from its original mission, said Steve Smith, who sat on the commission for several years after it was formed in the early 1990s.
"Your timing couldn't be better," Smith said, urging council to instead revisit the mission of the River Commission and possibly remove trails from its purview.
"Trails were never a primary purpose of the River Commission, and it would be better for that group to turn its attention again to matters of river health," Smith said.
Having the River Commission take lead on planning for the river trails made sense to the extent that trails needed to be properly routed to protect the riverbanks and sensitive riparian areas, he said.
Improving access to the Roaring Fork and Colorado rivers also served to introduce people to the river ecosystem, so that they would be more likely to appreciate and care for it, Smith added.
Several proposals that happened to come before council that same night point up the need for a river advisory group, Smith and others said.
Among them:
• A proposal for a temporary fishing boat ramp near the new 14th Street pedestrian bridge during the upcoming Grand Avenue bridge detour; an idea council was lukewarm to partly because of potential river impacts.
• A plan to place a changing station near the Two Rivers Park boat ramp for rafters and other river users.
• A council decision to appoint outgoing Councilor Stephen Bershenyi to represent Glenwood on the "Raise the River" project, which is aimed at creating a permanent flow in the Colorado River that would be adequate to restore the Mexican delta.
Rick Lafaro, executive director for the nonprofit Roaring Fork Conservancy, said his organization is willing to offer its expertise on river health matters in Glenwood Springs, but an advisory board is a useful tool to help direct the city's efforts.
"A lot of people are unaware of the challenges that these rivers face," Lafaro said, noting that riverfront landowners often build structures and clear vegetation on riverbanks without realizing the negative impacts it can have.
"It's important to restore some of that healthy, messy vitality in the riparian areas," he said.
Newly elected City Councilor Shelley Kaup also weighed in on the issue.
"I was distressed when I heard about the potential for combining these two commissions," she said. "The rivers are an important part of who we are and our character."
City staff often doesn't have the time to research and advise on matters related to river habitat, which is the value of having a citizen advisory group, Kaup said.
Where Parks and Recreation is focused on maintenance of city parks and overseeing recreation programs, the River Commission has its own distinct duties and responsibilities, she said.
Council members, after hearing the comments, tended to agree that combining the commissions might not be the best move.
"We define ourselves by water," Councilor Leo McKinney said of the Glenwood Chamber's marketing focus on all things related to water as a way to promote Glenwood Springs.
"Before we had the River Commission, there were pieces of cars if not whole cars in the river that had to be removed," McKinney said. "I would prefer to see us redefine the duties of the commission."
Bershenyi agreed.
"A great deal of the blame for the perceived failure of the River Commission rests right here on council, because we have tended to give them tasks that weren't a fit for what they were doing, namely trails," he said. "That should rest with parks."
Councilor Kathryn Trauger said council would do well to have more regular communication with all of the city's advisory boards and commissions.
"My mind has also shifted on this, and I agree that a lot of the fault lies with council for not giving better direction to this commission," Trauger said, adding, "Trails is not a good match with the River Commission."
Council may also look to reduce the size of the River Commission, which now stands at nine and often makes it hard to get a quorum for meetings.
Two vacant positions on the commission will also be re-advertised in hopes of making new appointments in May.
