CHILD ABUSE & NEGLECT IN AUSTRALIA
Child abuse and neglect is one of Australia's most significant social problems. Last year (2017-18) over 32,000 Australian children were proven to have been abused or neglected.
The term 'child abuse' includes:
Physical abuse: non-accidental aggressive act towards a child including slapping, shaking, punching, kicking etc.*
Psychological abuse: includes rejecting, ignoring, terrorising and/or not providing emotional support and care.*
Sexual abuse: any sexual activity between a child and an adult or older person (5 or more years older). Includes fondling, oral or anal and vaginal penetration, exposing or involving a child in pornography, voyeurism etc.*
Neglect: failure to provide for a child's basic needs, including not enough food, shelter, clothing, supervision, medical attention etc.*
Children's exposure to Family Violence: a child being present, either hearing or seeing, while a parent or sibling is subjected to physical, sexual or psychological abuse or is exposed to damage caused by the abuser.
Child abuse is rarely a one off incident and is always harmful.
Tens of thousands of children are psychologically and/or physically harmed each year or die from the impact of child abuse and neglect. Far too often that damage lasts a lifetime.
Child abuse is known to increase the risks of:
Poor physical health
Educational failure
Poor employability prospects
Depression & suicide
As a result, past victims of abuse and neglect are grossly over-represented in the populations of our prisons, as perpetrators of crime and violence, and amongst the economically and socially disadvantaged members of our society.
Given the size of the problem, and the psychological, emotional and physical damage that can result, child abuse and neglect represents one of the greatest barriers and threats to the wellbeing of Australian children, young people and the next generation of children and adults. It affects mental, emotional and physical health, levels of violence and crime, addiction, educational attainment and employment.
The consequences can be lifelong and it has been found that the perpetration of violence and abuse can also be passed on to future generations (Tomison, 1996). Proven cases of abuse and neglect affecting Indigenous children average six times greater than the broader population.
*AIFS National Child Protection Clearing House
NAPCAN (National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect) was co-founded in 1987 by Rosemary Sinclair AO and Christine Stewart OAM.
The prevention of child abuse & neglect is a complex problem needing a whole set of strategies & actions to be successful in stopping maltreatment.

Is Your Partner Excluded? Doctors, Take Note.
An attorney with HHS' Office of Inspector General said Thursday that the OIG is hiring additional lawyers to look into taking more administrative actions against doctors. They're looking for the types of questionable payment arrangements addressed in an OIG fraud alert issued earlier this week.
So begins Modern Healthcare's expose on the OIG's newly-awakened interest in pursuing allegations against individual doctors.
Will this alert, issued after a host of OIG settlements connected to the anti-kickback statute, extend to exclusion screening as well?
In all candor, exclusion screening as a compliance necessity is still coming of age. The sheer confusion inherent in the legislature – Do we really need to screen against every state OIG? Do we really need to screen every month? Do we really need to screen every employee and vendor? – leaves the door wide open for gaps in exclusion screening protocols, even amongst big-time medical facilities and employers. Add the fact that it seems far more logical for the OIG to target facilities, and it's no wonder that small, privately-owned medical practices rarely bother with exclusion screening.

Q: Java class to remove HTML tags generated by MSWord Some HTML forms are filled by users using copy&paste from MSWord, in FCK editors, or others.
This generates nasty tags annoying other tools to work fine.
Is there a way the server can clean the incoming parameters, so nasty HTML tags would be removed?
Of course, regular expressions are not useful, as long as user can write whatever.
I mean about Java class kinda specialized in this job.
Par example, all this might be replaced by a void string.

A: FCKEditor has a "paste from word" button that works very well.
Could you ask your users to use this functionality?

A: You could try JTidy. It's a Java port of HTMLtidy, which can do the type of cleanup you're looking for. Caveat emptor: I haven't used JTidy and I have no idea how well it works.

A: The latest version of CKEditor supports auto detection when you paste from word, which means they wouldn't have to use the button, even though the button is there. it would detect pasting from word and offer to clean it up or convert it to straight text.

A: docx4j produces clean HTML, which is specifically intended to round trip through CKEditor.

A: Use https://code.google.com/p/owasp-java-html-sanitizer/
import org.owasp.html.PolicyFactory;
import org.owasp.html.Sanitizers;

to build an html accept only policy.  This will get rid of everything except the things you say to include.  Not only will this remove Word Html garbage it will also protect your html input from xss.
PolicyFactory policy = (new HtmlPolicyBuilder().allowElements("table", "tr", "td", "th").allowAttributes("style").globally()).toFactory();
        policy = policy.and(Sanitizers.FORMATTING).and(Sanitizers.BLOCKS).and(Sanitizers.IMAGES).and(Sanitizers.LINKS);

String safeHtml = policy.sanitize(html);

The problem with JTidy is that it can be quite slow.  The html sanitizer is incredibly fast in comparison.

CRFREE Mitigation Pipeline Undergrounding Project
The purpose of the project is to replace existing wastewater pipelines that currently span the south arm of the Carmel River Lagoon with new pipelines installed deep below the bed of the lagoon so that they would not be subject to damage by increased river flows in the south arm created by the CRFREE project being proposed by Monterey County. The new pipelines are proposed to be installed under the lagoon by means of horizontal directional drilling installation methods in order to minimize the amount of ground disturbance required to install replacement pipelines. Once the new pipelines are installed and connected to the existing pipes on either side of the lagoon, the existing aerial pipe structure crossing over the south arm of the Carmel River Lagoon will be removed.

Eucalyptus Pruning
Carmel Area Wastewater District (CAWD) proposes to prune existing eucalyptus trees at the CAWD Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The pruning is being done to control the growth of the trees and to mitigate falling branches. The existing eucalyptus trees have the potential to fall or drop debris which could damage existing wastewater treatment plant infrastructure. Where eucalyptus trees are spreading new seedlings, new eucalyptus trees would be removed as part of the work to avoid propagation of this non-native species. There are a total of approximately ninety (90) full grown eucalyptus trees surrounding the WWTP. The existing eucalyptus trees were planted during the 1980's to create a visual screen around the existing wastewater treatment plant. Many of the existing trees have grown to be much higher than they need to be to screen the existing facility. Existing eucalyptus trees around the WWTP range from about 75 to 90 feet tall. CAWD proposes to prune the trees to 42 feet tall along the Southern boundary of the WWTP, and 52 feet tall along the Westerly side of the Northern property line.

WWTP Elec/Mech Rehab and Sludge Holding Tank Replacement Project
Carmel Area Wastewater District (CAWD) proposes to conduct rehabilitation of several areas of the wastewater treatment plant to maintain the facilities in good operating condition. The project involves replacement of select electrical and mechanical equipment with in-kind or substantially similar equipment. The new equipment will be installed to serve the existing Influent Pump Station, Headworks, Chlorination Building, and Effluent Pump Station. Not all equipment in these areas is being replaced, and no changes are being made to the existing building structures. The project also includes demolition of three existing sludge tanks and a small storage building, and the installation of one new sludge tank in the location of one demolished tank. The new tank storage capacity will be about 75,000 gallons. The three sludge tanks being demolished are about 70,000 gallons, 188,000 gallons, and 70,000 gallons respectively. Detailed design plans and specifications can be obtained by emailing downstream@cawd.org with a request for design documents.

Rancho Cañada Sewer Replacement
The project would replace an existing CAWD sewer main, which would serve to upsize and upgrade the existing pipeline to address capacity issues to handle current flows and address surcharging. The project includes the installation and operation of a total of 4,240 linear feet (LF) of pipeline, the majority of which would be located alongside the existing alignment. Replacement of the sewer main would include 3,120 LF of 15-inch gravity sewer main, 330 LF of 15-inch sewer main truss, and 790 LF of 8-inch polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sewer main. The replacement pipeline location would generally coincide with the existing pipeline location but would be up to 100 feet apart in some areas. Additional improvements include two new 8-inch stub-outs that would be installed at intermediate manholes to provide future service for a public restroom at Palo Corona Regional Park and an emergency services staging area. A 15-inch plugged connection and 5-foot long capped segment of 15-inch diameter sewer would be provided for future connection/rerouting of wastewater flows, and the existing 10-inch diameter manhole outlet plugged. Sewer lateral connections to the existing sewer main would be reconnected to the new sewer main

Carmel Valley Manor Sewer Main Extension
The project would extend sewer service to the existing Carmel Valley Manor senior living facility. The project includes the installation and operation of approximately 9,900 linear feet (LF) of 8-inch diameter polyvinyl chloride (PVC) gravity sewer main, approximately 900 LF of 6-inch diameter force main, concrete manholes, and a 250 gallon per minute wastewater pump station. From the proposed gravity-fed sewer, wastewater would be pumped by the proposed pump station into the proposed force main, discharging to the existing collection system at the west abutment of the County Bridge 500 crossing over the Carmel River on Valley Greens Drive. Wastewater would be conveyed through the existing collection system to the CAWD Water Pollution Control Plant. The wastewater pump station would be a small (approximately 1,600 square feet) fully developed municipal site, equipped with a back-up generator; new electrical service; wet well with submersible wastewater pumps; pipes, valves, etc.; electrical and communications facilities; pumps control unit; and surface improvements. These pumps would be placed underground, submerged in a wet well. A 10-foot access driveway to the pump station would be located between two existing trees.

2021 Annexation Project
The proposed project is the 2020 CAWD Sphere of Influence (SOI) Amendment and Annexation in accordance with relevant codes and ordinances of the District, local jurisdictions, and the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000. The project area includes all CAWD's current jurisdictional boundaries in Monterey County, California and the areas being considered for SOI amendment and annexation; project areas include portions of the unincorporated communities of Carmel Valley and Carmel Highlands. The project proposes annexation of approximately 925 acres of developed land, outside of the current CAWD SOI, in locations where the District either anticipates, or has received applications for, near-term sewer service connection requests. This acreage includes approximately 220 acres outside the District's SOI but previously identified as "Future Study Area" located within the Carmel Highlands. The project actions identified above would result in the extension of the jurisdictional boundaries of the District to allow for future wastewater service extension in this area. For questions on the project: contact: Rachél Lather, MS, PE, Principal Engineer, Carmel Area Wastewater District (831) 624-1248 ex. 203.

As we know that ring is not just has a function for jewelry, but also as fastener tools for a couple who love each other. Ring is a fastener tool for engagement or wedding occasion. For men who have proposed a woman become her wife, he might give wedding ring sets for women. Wedding ring set is kind of one set wedding that containing two or three rings, either for both bridegroom or just for the bride. But of course the real wedding ring should be worn by bridegroom. And the wedding sets function is up them, whether for collection or maybe for investment.
One of wedding ring sets for women, can contained several kinds of wedding ring for women. For example, in one set wedding ring, there are a couple of original wedding rings and one oval wedding ring, or a couple camo wedding rings with one big cushion of women ring, etc. The kinds of wedding ring sets are depend on the bride wish or the groom wish. The price is also variety, depends on what kind of the wedding ring sets and how many ring on one wedding ring sets for women.
If you have another model of wedding ring sets for women, maybe you can order it in the some kind of jewelry designer. But, of course, you should prepare a lot of cost for that. The big price has a worth it stuff, it is always like that. Everything in wedding actually is always have compatible with your capability of budget. Do not to wish too high if you just have limited cost. Just be simple but still elegant with that cost, because everything in wedding are not always expensive and luxurious. Just you that can be determined, what kinds of wedding that would be look great but should not to spend much money.


Nonlinear effects in optical fibers impose different limitations on the communications link, and an understanding of such effects is almost a prerequisite for actual lightwavesystem designers. On the other hand, they offer a variety of possibilities for all-optical signal processing, plification and regeneration. The nonlinear effects are enhanced dramatically, and new phenomena are observed in the so-called photonic crystal fibers. In this paper, we review the effects — both detrimental and potentially beneficial — of optical nonlinearities in conventional and in photonic crystal fibers.
Keywords: Optical fibers; nonlinear fiber optics; nonlinear effects.

Many women want to have a smooth, flawless white skin. In order to achieve that, they use skin whitening products such as Meladerm and Revitol. These two skin whitening products are very popular on the market right now, and both are glowing with positive reviews. You are now probably confused in choosing between Meladerm vs Revitol. Which skin whitener should you choose? Before you make your decision, make sure that you are aware of the differences between these two products. They use different ingredients, and, although their primary goals are the same, you can also expect different effects from them.
You may need to know first that the price difference between Meladerm and Revitol is quite significant. On one hand, Meladerm is a product that has been backed up by scientific studies and researches. In addition, it is produced by a pharmaceutical company, and the packaging looks like a drug. Seeing all, you probably have expected that Meladerm is an expensive product. Even so, it has been proven to be effective and safe. There's the price, and there's the value.
On the other hand, Revitol is one of the most affordable skin whitener choices currently available on the market. Many people believe that Revitol is today's cheapest solution that works.
When choosing between Meladerm vs Revitol, note that they use some different ingredients. For sure, Meladerm contains safe ingredients without any harmful active ingredient. But not all of the ingredients are natural. Some are synthetic chemicals. Meanwhile, Revitol boasts that all of its ingredients are natural.
Meladerm's ingredients seem to be very promising. Many of them are already known to have real and effective skin whitening effects, such as Alpha Arbutin (which is ten times more potent than arbutin), kojic acid, licorice extract, and glycolic acid. The product is also enhanced with niacinamide, lemon juice extract, and vitamin C to help exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin.
On the other hand, Revitol uses arbutin and lumiskin for the brightening effects. It is also enhanced with nice ingredients such as shea butter, evening primrose oil, grapefruit extract, as well as vitamins A, C, and E to moisturize and nourish the skin.
Meladerm is indeed more potent than Revitol. Meladerm can deliver noticeable effects just within two weeks, and the best results usually come up within two or three months. On the other hand, Revitol may require several weeks to really show noticeable effects, and the best results can take three or four months.
Meladerm seems to make the skin dry, especially in the course of the first week of usage. It can also cause slight irritation. You want to stay away from the sun when using this, especially if your skin is a dry type.
People with dry skin may want to opt for Revitol instead. It doesn't produce significant side effects unless you are allergic to one of the ingredients (check the ingredient list first). It tends to moisturize the skin a little bit.
If you want to get quick results, you should use Meladerm, which has been proven to be effective and able to give results within two weeks. However, if your skin is a dry type, you may want to use Revitol instead to avoid the dryness and irritation side effects.

MeyGen Project Signs the UK's Largest Marine Energy Lease
By Atlantis | September 11, 2014 | 0
ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITED
("Atlantis" or the "Company")
Atlantis, owner of the world's largest planned tidal stream energy project, MeyGen, announces that it has signed a 398MW, 25-year seabed lease with The Crown Estate.
The lease was secured after MeyGen satisfied the extensive development obligations contained within its five-year Agreement for Lease ("AfL"), which was signed in October 2010. It is the largest marine energy Lease to be awarded by The Crown Estate and is the first in The Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters region.
Atlantis recently announced that it has agreed terms with a funding syndicate for a funding package for Phase 1A of the MeyGen project which will exceed £50 million. Construction is expected to commence in Q4 2014 with first power to the grid and revenues being earned in H1 2016.
Dan Pearson, Chief Executive of MeyGen, commented:
"Signing the Lease with The Crown Estate is a significant achievement being the first of its kind and demonstrates how a commercial scale energy project can be designed, consented, engineered and funded within four years. This is the culmination of a talented and committed team working alongside stakeholders and governments who are determined to launch a new energy sector within Scotland and the UK. We are thankful to all who have helped us along the journey and look forward to delivering the first phase."
Ronnie Quinn, Head of Ocean Energy, The Crown Estate said:
"Our commitment to invest in and agree a lease for the Meygen project continues our strategy to explore tidal stream energy on a commercial scale and its potential to help unlock the nation's tidal energy resources over the long-term."

Today on Verdict appears part 1 of a two-part series of columns in which I discuss the cases of Florida v. Jardines and Florida v. Harris, both of which are set to be argued before the U.S. Supreme Court October 31 (today). Both of the two cases raise questions about dog sniffs for narcotics: the question in Jardines is whether bringing a dog to the front door of a suspect's home to sniff for narcotics constitutes a Fourth Amendment "search" that triggers the probable cause requirement; and the question in Harris is when a dog's positive alert after sniffing a vehicle from the outside for narcotics may be considered sufficiently reliable to support probable cause to perform a conventional search of the vehicle.
In both decisions, the Florida Supreme Court sided with the criminal defendant, holding that (1) a dog sniff from outside the front door of a suspect's residence does constitute a search for which police must have probable cause, and (2) a dog's positive alert to narcotics may not form the basis for probable cause in the absence of a showing that the dog has a demonstrable, reliable track record of drug detection, including a record of avoiding false positives (alerts in the absence of narcotics).
In the column, I discuss some of the case law that bear on the Court's consideration of the case, and I also propose that there is an important distinction between a dog who sniffs for narcotics and an inanimate machine calibrated to detect narcotics -- a distinction that ought properly to play a role in deciding the two cases.
In this post, I want to take up the separate question of when, if ever, a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy in concealing criminal evidence from the police. That is, do individuals have a Fourth Amendment right to keep police officers from learning that they are harboring incriminating evidence, even if police can learn of this fact without having to uncover any law-abiding, non-criminal facts about the individual?
The Supreme Court's response to this question has generally been "no." The Court has said in United States v. Jacobsen, for example, that people lack any reasonable expectation of privacy in the fact that a visible powder is (or is not) cocaine. The Court has also said that people lack a reasonable expectation of privacy in the fact that they are (or are not) in possession of illicit drugs. The latter principle arose specifically in dog sniff cases, in which the Supreme Court concluded that a dog sniff for narcotics is not a Fourth Amendment "search" and can therefore proceed without probable cause (or any level of suspicion). The Jardines case before the Court today (October 31, 2012) asks whether that proposition extends to narcotics within the home, given a history (outlined in my column) of cases distinguishing between the privacy that people have in their homes and the privacy that people enjoy in of other, non-home locations.
Underlying this specific question is the general one of whether the Fourth Amendment protects more than simply innocent privacy. Ordinarily, when police search a home, a car, or any other personal space, they inevitably uncover private, lawful activity in which people have a reasonable expectation of privacy. A house search generally will disclose -- among other things -- the inhabitants of a person's home, the degree to which one's home is neat, clean, and well-organized, and the kinds of books or music or types of furniture the resident might enjoy. A person might also have embarrassing (but perfectly lawful) written communications visible to someone walking through his or her home. It is to protect this kind of privacy (innocent privacy, that is) that police must acquire a warrant (or probable cause and some reason for forgoing the warrant requirement) before entering a home.
But what if police could do a more precise kind of search that would tell them only whether or not the person in the house was in possession of criminal items? Would there then be any legitimate reason to prevent the police from performing this precise search on everyone?
To make the question more concrete, imagine a device that police could point at a house and then receive a readout like this: "contains explosive devices" or "contains a corpse." Assume that civilians were prohibited by law from having either an explosive device or a corpse in their home (with perhaps a special permission for relatives of the recently deceased, who could put up a death certificate to exempt themselves from the law). Would it invade any properly recognized privacy right for police to be able to point a device at every home in the country and thereby find out which homes contain explosive devices, corpses, or both?
I think the answer to this question is no. When the Court says that people lack a "reasonable expectation of privacy," it typically uses the term to mean that one could not realistically expect privacy under the circumstances, even if the police stayed out of the equation. For example, if you yell across a crowded bus to your friend, you cannot realistically (and thus reasonably) expect that your words will remain private. Everyone else on the bus can presumably hear you.
Other times, however, the Court uses "reasonable" in the Fourth Amendment context to mean that an individual has (or lacks) a normatively legitimate expectation that something will remain private, whether or not the expectation is realistic. For example, a person may live in a very modest home with ineffective locks and in a neighborhood in which there are constant break-ins. It might therefore be empirically unrealistic to expect privacy from intrusion in that home, even if police never try to enter. Nonetheless, the Court has recognized a (normatively) reasonable expectation of privacy in the home and requires a warrant for police to enter, notwithstanding the target's vulnerability to civilian home intrusions (and the unrealistic nature of any expectation that such intrusions will not occur).
The issue of whether people have a right to conceal criminality raises the second sort of "reasonableness" question. Plainly, in the absence of special technology, one can "realistically" expect that one's hidden explosives or corpses will remain hidden, so that an empirical approach to the reasonableness question would likely yield the conclusion that use of the hi-tech device is a search. Yet, from a normative standpoint, it does not seem that any valuable interest is at stake in the asserted claim that "I want to keep the fact that I am in possession of explosives and corpses a secret."
Notwithstanding these arguments, I am somewhat uncomfortable with the notion of the government being authorized to use its special device to detect whether individual civilians -- suspected of nothing -- are in possession of incriminating materials. Why the discomfort? I think there are two reasons for it.
First, the criminal law is extremely broad and prohibits and punishes a great deal more than simply violent crimes and other harms. The law in fact prohibits some things that many regard as innocuous conduct (possession of marijuana is one example). As a result, when police use a special hi-tech device (or a trained canine companion) to find out incriminating facts about a person's home, they may be finding things out that are illegal but that may not be legitimately criminal. This fact -- that not everything "criminal" ought to be criminal -- complicates the picture and leads me to think that police surveillance of all illegality would invade a legitimate expectation of privacy, in virtue of the overbreadth of our criminal law.
Granted, this complaint represents an argument against the substantive criminal law, not just an argument against hi-tech, precise searches. If we think that overcriminalization is likely to stay with us for the foreseeable future, though, then protecting the home from precise searches in the absence of probable cause can serve as an imperfect strategy for preserving some degree of valuable, innocent privacy.
The second reason for my discomfort with the precise hi-tech search is that I think that in reality, very little criminality lends itself to the sort of precision at issue. If police are trying to find a kidnapping victim, then yes, a police dog who can track from outside the home whether or not a victim is present inside ought to be allowed to do so, even in the absence of probable cause. But most of the time, incriminating evidence takes forms that are far more messy -- such as the thermal detection device that let police know that people were probably growing illicit drugs inside the house in Kyllo v. United States. As the Court noted there, the heat detector could have revealed other, lawful, private facts -- including such facts as how many people were in the house and what time of day one of the people there takes her daily sauna or bath. Most of the time, technology that detects and exposes one sort of fact (drug-growing, for example) will necessarily exposes other sorts of facts too. The precise search is thus mostly an illusion.
If there were a perfect surveillance tool, then -- one that would single out (1) only criminal evidence and, more precisely, (2) only evidence of crimes that truly ought to be crimes, then I would agree that such a tool would invade no reasonable expectation of privacy. My worry, however, is that we may come to classify tools that fail one or both of these criteria as perfect surveillance tools and thereby lose a great deal of innocent privacy in the process.

Sergio and Anna, the Italian founders of the Vegas Movie Awards

We like the idea of combining Americans' fresh mentality with our Italian taste, and with that unique ability, typical of those born and raised in our beautiful country, to think outside the box."
With films hailing from more than 70 countries around the world, the festival has featured over 4,500 films since March 2019. "We listen to the artists, we take care of them, and we make them part of a family in which they always feel welcomed and justified in their daring choices," Sergio and Anna tell me from their home, which is only a few miles from the most famous Strip in the world.

D3: The Mighty Ducks (1996)
Comedy, Drama, Sport
Robert Lieberman
Emilio Estevez, Jeffrey Nordling, David Selby, Heidi Kling, Joshua Jackson, Joss Ackland, Elden Henson
These Bombay Ducks are a Little Over Done
It was sort of inevitable that having given us one sequel another would follow and so in 1996 "D3: The Mighty Ducks" was thrust across the ice rink at us. Continuing the story of the young Ducks who first time around won the pee-wee hockey championship, second time around stuck it to the Icelanders at the Junior Goodwill games find themselves getting scholarships to a posh school where they don't fit in and with a new coach to deal with. All of which means that yes "D3: The Mighty Ducks" does have a different storyline but at heart is no different to the previous movies. What this means is that during the movie there will be problems before a triumphant finale where the bad guys get beaten and some more life lessons are handed out along the way. And like "D2: The Mighty Ducks" it is still entertaining but works best for younger audiences, lacking the intelligence to make it a pleasure for older audiences.
Following the success at the Junior Goodwill Games the Ducks are all given scholarships to the prestigious Eden Hall Academy. Unfortunately for them coach Bombay (Emilio Estevez - Loaded Weapon 1) is offered a job with the Goodwill Games permanently meaning they find themselves with a new coach in Ted Orion (Jeffrey Nordling - Trail of Tears). Between not really fitting into the snobby Eden Hall, the senior Varsity team taking a disliking to the Freshmen and a new coach with a different style life is not easy for any of the Ducks especially Charlie (Joshua Jackson - Magic in the Water) who is struggling more than anyone to deal with these changes. But can they keep it together and prove that the Ducks are still a formidable team or will they end up being thrown out of the snobby Eden Hall.
Whilst "D3: The Mighty Ducks" has an underlying theme which is no different to the previous movies I have to say I like the fact that a different story is manufactured as the vehicle this time around. It's a nice progression that this band of young hockey players find themselves struggling to fit in at a new, posh school, especially Charlie who takes it all very personally. There is a decent moral to all of this with Charlie having to learn to basically go with the flow rather than raging against the machine. It's not a very subtle moral and the whole life lessons aspect of the movie is handled a little heavily but then it will work for younger audiences who may be experiencing similar emotions.
What is for certain is that "D3: The Mighty Ducks" works to a well worn formula and it doesn't take a genius to predict every aspect of the movie. From the team struggling with a new coach, Charlie going off the rails through to the expected big triumphant climax there is not anything new or different chucked into the mix. Saying that it works, well at a young audience level, and from the comedy such as Goldberg out of control on rollerblades through to the winning goal scene it is entertaining. But sadly there is nothing this time which works for older audiences and in fact may find it all rather corny and too unbelievable even if its heart is in the right place.
As for the acting well this time around Emilio Estevez takes a back seat as his character Bombay is only in it for a few scenes, which in many ways is a good thing because not only does it mean we have a new coach but the children become more central. In fact at the heart of "D3: The Mighty Ducks" is Joshua Jackson as Charlie as he struggles to deal with coach Orion who seems to be trying to break him down and the Ducks up. Jackson does quite a decent job, playing what is in essence a stereotypical teenage with teenage turmoil's and he works well with Jeffrey Nordling who plays coach Orion. Aside from Jackson and Nordling it's very much as case of the kids doing very much what we saw them do in "D2: The Mighty Ducks" with the added bonus of Joss Ackland and Heidi Kling returning.
What this all boils down to is that "D3: The Mighty Ducks" is once more an entertaining movie but more than ever a movie which works for younger audiences with little for older folks who find themselves watching it. Behind the new storyline it is very much a formulaic movie with a life lesson which is handled so heavily it feels forced. But for those who watched the first two movies and for those parents who want their children to watch a movie which delivers a worthy message "D3: The Mighty Ducks" works.

The Brookhaven Courier • February 28, 2018 • https://brookhavencourier.com/6327/local-news/5k-run-to-honor-heroes/
5k run to honor heroes
By Jubenal Aguilar
Students, staff, faculty and the community will race to the finish line and run obstacle courses to honor first responders and veterans in Dallas County Community College District's first Heroes Run.The athletic, family-oriented event will be held 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 14 in Brookhaven College fields between Parking Lot P3 and Valley View Lane.
"The Heroes Run 5K recognizes the special spirit of those who are willing to serve and be the first in and last out, and it honors this by supporting the food banks at the colleges of the DCCCD," according to the Brookhaven website.
"I think this is an easy run for people to get behind because a lot of people have great respect for military and first responders," Cpl. Vikki Ethington, a DCCCD Police Department officer at Brookhaven, said.
To get things running, a foundation was created in 2016 Ethington said. The foundation will benefit all the campuses by ensuring their food banks receive the aid they need to keep shelves stocked.
Jennifer Allen, history professor and food pantry coordinator, said each DCCCD campus is aware of food insecurity among its students and is taking steps to address it.
Allen said each campus is at a different stage in the process of having a food pantry. "At Brookhaven, we have a food pantry, mobile food truck delivery once a month for fresh produce and are working on expanding our partnership with the North Texas Food Bank to supply more shelf-sustainable food so we can truly serve our community," Allen said.
The Heroes Run will be the starting point to raise funds for the foundation. "[We] will be raising money for the foundation food banks so that all seven colleges will be able to help keep their food banks full," Ethington said.
Funds will be raised from registrations of individuals and teams who sign up to enter the race. Ethington said the initial fundraising goal is $10,000.
Beginning March 1, registration for individual racers in the 5k will be $35, Ethington said. Racers may register in four-member teams to receive a $5 discount per member.
Registration for race day will increase to $45 and $160 for individuals and teams, respectively.
The registration fee will include all-day, unlimited access to the obstacle course as well as a T-shirt. In addition, Ethington said, first responders and military veterans will receive a commemorative paracord bracelet.
All-day obstacle course access is available for a $10 registration fee now through the day of the race, Ethington said. However, T-shirts will only be available for race registrants.
Ethington said other activities at the Heroes Run will include three age-appropriate obstacle courses – for adults, pre-teens and teens, and children 5 and under.
According to the Brookhaven website, firetrucks and a fire hose for children's fire safety lessons will be among the available activities. A police armored tank car and military vehicles will also be on display. Ethington said she is also working on getting CareFlite and a military helicopter to land during the event.
Different vendors will be present and provide activities for visitors to participate in, Ethington said. Farmers Branch Citizens on Patrol will have drunk goggles to allow people to feel the effects of trying to walk under the influence of alcohol.
Free food, music and performances by the Dallas Mavericks Dancers will also be part of the event.
"It is important to participate in the Heroes Run because of the focus and the potential outcome," Allen said. "First responders and our military veterans are the ones we count on to save us in the worst of times, so we can certainly come out and show our gratitude on one day."
Ethington said Cmdr. Gabriel Galvez, who now oversees Eastfield College campus police, helped her come up with the idea. She said they used Brookhaven's annual fun run, the Spooky Trot 5k Run/Walk, and expanded on the concept with the goal of helping to provide food for those in need across the district."We just wanted to expand what we were doing here at Brookhaven for the food pantry and that seemed like a good fit and good way to bring in people to do that," Ethington said.
She said the Heroes Run will rotate throughout the seven colleges each year. However, the host college for the spring 2019 Heroes Run has yet to be determined.

April rainfall was generally below average for the grainbelt. The last three months, February-April rainfall was below average for the northern and southern grainbelt, average for the eastern grainbelt and above average for the Esperance region. April maximum and minimum temperatures were average to above average. Despite the rainfall in late January and early February, there is little plant-available soil water in most areas. The latest modelled plant available soil water map (6 May) shows very low levels of stored soil water in the majority of the grainbelt with good levels in western parts of the Esperance shire.
In April the atmospheric pressure was near normal over the southwest. The Indian Ocean sea surface temperatures north-west and west of Western Australia are also near normal.
In the tropical Pacific, the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) remains neutral. All climate models indicate the tropical Pacific Ocean will continue to warm slowly, but temperatures will remain close to average through the southern hemisphere winter. By September, two of the eight models suggest ocean temperatures may approach El Niño thresholds.
The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is currently neutral. Most models indicate a neutral IOD is likely for autumn and early winter. However, three of six models suggest an increased likelihood of a negative IOD developing by July. Typically during negative IOD events, winter–spring rainfall is above average over southern Australia. However, forecast accuracy for the IOD is lower during the autumn compared to other times of the year and should be viewed with some caution. See the Bureau of Meteorology's IOD and Pacific Ocean interaction for details.
The Southern Annular Mode (SAM), also known as the Antarctic Oscillation (AAO), describes the north–south movement of the westerly wind belt that circles Antarctica, dominating the middle to higher latitudes of the southern hemisphere. SAM is currently near neutral and is expected to remain this way until the end of May.

Indian River Summerfest returns
Sean Miller
INDIAN RIVER — This summer has been busy for Northern Michigan with a slew of events returning, and Indian River isn't excluded from the fun.
Indian River's Summerfest has returned — officially kicking off Thursday, July 15 — with four days of family-friendly fun.
"It's really a traditional summer festival that Indian River has had for at least 40 years. It's a true community event," said Indian River Chamber of Commerce executive director Will Mulligan.
Mulligan, who is new to the chamber within the last year, is looking forward to bringing the event back with a few slight changes to mix things up and provide a sense of comfort for those who may still be leery of being in large crowds.
This year the festival has shifted from having the traditional beer tent to having a more "open air" space where people can wander, listen to music, see the craft show and car show.
"You can actually grab a glass of wine or a beer and enjoy walking around downtown while enjoying all of what we have simultaneously," he said. "In years past you kind of had to be at one thing then move to the next but now it's all encompassed into one large outdoor space where you can enjoy everything at once."
According to the Summerfest website, the four-day event is filled with the car and art show and live entertainment, but also has a full schedule with something for people of all ages.
Thursday will play host to a carnival and live entertainment in Marina Park and on the festival main stage. The carnival and live entertainment continues into Friday accompanied by a kids' zone with painting and games, a craft show and more.
The Saturday and Sunday of the festival is filled with the continued carnival and art show, a 5K foot race, biathlon, ice cream social, car show and more.
"This is my first festival with the chamber and I'm so excited to be bringing it back for the community," said Mulligan. "The response I've seen and heard so far from people is great.
"People seem excited and I think over the last year we figured out, through all of it, that people do have an appetite to do things again. There's a reason we all work, live and play up here. It's nice to add the 'play' and 'live' back to our lives again," he added.
Summerfest will continue through Sunday, July 18.
More information about Indian River's Summerfest and a full schedule can be found online at www.irchamber.com.


I am happy to report that I have taken the first very important steps in ending the abusive relationship I am in. That's right. I am breaking up - with my "too big to fail" bank.
Bank of America, bye-bye. It started out innocently enough. When I first started banking as a young woman, I went to the Norshore National Bank, a friendly community bank in my neighborhood. And then it was bought by a bigger bank, and then by a bigger bank, and then by LaSalle Bank, a large but esteemed institution in the Chicago area, and finally by Bank of America. The transitions were pretty smooth, and frankly, I admit I took the easy way out and stayed put.
Hello, Devon Bank! Yesterday I went to the bank that my parents patronized for many happy years. It's in the neighborhood I grew up in, near my house, in my district. The friendly bankers were happy to see me and helped me open a new checking account. I can still bank on line, get a debit card, and use without charge a network of ATMs that are conveniently located. They gave me a map that I'll keep in my car. Not only that, they will pay me 4.15% interest on my balance up to $20,000 and they gave me a very nice pen set and a clock!
As we celebrate the life of Martin Luther King Jr., I urge you to remember Dr. King's legacy of non-violence and compassion as he fought for progressive change. Many of you already take part in civic, religious, and volunteer activities as part the MLK Jr. Day of Service, which urges citizens to view the Federal holiday not as "a day off, but a day on."
This MLK Jr. Day, please keep in mind the people of Haiti, as the struggle to recover from last week's earthquake. Over the last several years I have travelled to Haiti many times, and the images of the destruction have broken my heart.
Haiti needs our help. As I'm sure you've heard, a major earthquake has devastated Port-Au-Prince, Haiti's capitol. I've traveled to Haiti several times, most recently in the last year. While there had been glimmers of hope in this country with a difficult history, news of this horrific tragedy breaks my heart.
In my time in Haiti, I was privileged to develop a strong friendship with Dr. Paul Farmer, and have become a passionate supporter of his remarkable organization Partners in Health, which many of you might already be familiar with. Chicago supporters of Partners in Health helped construct a hospital and Women's clinic in Haiti. By supporting Partners in Health, your donation will go directly towards helping those most affected by the earthquake. Please read this message that Partners In Health sent out yesterday evening, and consider giving your support.
A major earthquake centered just 10 miles from Port-au-Prince has devastated sections of the city and knocked out telephone communications throughout the country. Reached via email, Partners In Health staff at our facilities in the Central Plateau report that they experienced a strong shock but no major damage or injuries. We are still attempting to establish contact with other PIH facilities and to locate several staff members who were traveling in and around Port-au-Prince.
In an urgent email from Port-au-Prince, Louise Ivers, our clinical director in Haiti, appealed for assistance from her colleagues in the Central Plateau: "Port-au-Prince is devastated, lot of deaths. SOS. SOS... Temporary field hospital by us at UNDP needs supplies, pain meds, bandages. Please help us."
Donate now to support our earthquake relief efforts.
The earthquake has destroyed much of the already fragile and overburdened infrastructure in the most densely populated part of the country. A massive and immediate international response is needed to provide food, water, shelter, and medical supplies for tens of thousands of people.

My new year began in earnest on Monday, January 4. Full of the spirit of a fresh start, I began with 25 minutes of aerobics on the elliptical machine and lifted some weights. Feeling self-righteous, I luxuriated in one of the best holiday gifts ever from my husband Bob – a one and a half hour massage. I went straight from there to get a manicure, went to Jenny Craig and started on the annual diet, got my hair colored and cut, and now, I am fully ready to launch into 2010! Coiffed and polished, I am heading off to Washington to see about a health care bill.

Deusdedit (died ) was a medieval Archbishop of Canterbury, the first native-born holder of the see of Canterbury. By birth an Anglo-Saxon, he became archbishop in 655 and held the office for more than nine years until his death, probably from plague. Deusdedit's successor as archbishop was one of his priests at Canterbury. There is some controversy over the exact date of Deusdedit's death, owing to discrepancies in the medieval written work that records his life. Little is known about his episcopate, but he was considered to be a saint after his demise. A saint's life was written after his relics were moved from their original burial place in 1091.

Life
A post-Norman Conquest tradition, originating with Goscelin, gives Deusdedit's original name as Frithona, possibly a corruption of Frithuwine. He was consecrated by Ithamar, Bishop of Rochester, on 26 March or perhaps 12 March 655. He was the sixth archbishop after the arrival of the Gregorian missionaries, and the first to be a native of the island of Great Britain rather than an Italian, having been born a West Saxon. One reason for the long period between the Christianization of the Kentish kingdom from Anglo-Saxon paganism in about 600 and the appointment of the first native archbishop may have been the need for the schools established by the Gregorian missionaries to educate the natives to a sufficiently high standard for them to take ecclesiastical office. Deusdedit probably owed his appointment to the see of Canterbury to a collaboration between Eorcenberht of Kent and Cenwalh of Wessex. The name Deusdedit means "God has given" in Latin, and had been the name of a recent pope, Deusdedit, in office from 615 to 618; it was the practice of many of the early medieval Saxon bishops to take an adopted name, often from recent papal names. It is unclear when Deusdedit adopted his new name, although the historian Richard Sharpe considers it likely to have been when he was consecrated as an archbishop, rather than when he entered religious life.

The see of Canterbury seems at this time to have been passing through a period of comparative obscurity. During Deusdedit's nine years as archbishop, all the new bishops in England were consecrated by Celtic or foreign bishops, with one exception: Deusdedit consecrated Damianus, Ithamar's successor as Bishop of Rochester. Deusdedit did, however, found a nunnery in the Isle of Thanet and helped with the foundation of Medeshamstede Abbey, later Peterborough Abbey, in 657. He was long overshadowed by Agilbert, bishop to the West Saxons, and his authority as archbishop probably did not extend past his own diocese and that of Rochester, which had traditionally been dependent on Canterbury.

The Synod of Whitby, which debated whether the Northumbrian church should follow the Roman or the Celtic method of dating Easter, was held in 664. Deusdedit does not appear to have been present, perhaps because of an outbreak of the plague prevalent in England at the time.

Death
Deusdedit died at some time around the Synod of Whitby, although the exact date is disputed. Bede, in the Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum, states that "On the fourteenth of July in the above mentioned year, when an eclipse was quickly followed by plague and during which Bishop Colman was refuted by the unanimous decision of the Catholics and returned to his own country, Deusdedit the sixth Archbishop of Canterbury died." A solar eclipse occurred on 1 May 664, which would appear to make the date of Deusdedit's death 14 July 664. But that conflicts with Bede's own information earlier in the Historia, where he claims that Deusdedit's predecessor, Honorius, "died on the 30th of September 653, and after a vacancy of 18 months, Deusdedit, a West Saxon was elected to the archiepiscopal see and became the 6th Archbishop. He was consecrated by Ithamar, Bishop of Rochester, on the 26th of May, and ruled the see until his death nine years, four months, and two days later." If this information is accurate, then Deusdedit must have died on 28 July 664. Various methods of reconciling these discrepancies have been proposed. Frank Stenton argues that Bede began his years on 1 September; thus the date of Honorius' death should be considered 30 September 652 in modern reckoning. Further, Stenton argued that medieval copyists had introduced an error into the manuscripts of the Historia, and that Bede meant that the length of Deusdedit's reign was 9 years and 7 months, rather than 9 years and 4 months as stated in the manuscripts. From this, he concludes that Deusdedit's death occurred in the year September 663 to September 664. This would make the year of death correct according to the eclipse, but still leave a discrepancy on the specific day of death, for which Stenton asserted the length calculations given by Bede were more correct than the actual death date given. Thus Stenton concluded that Deusdedit died on 28 October 663.

Other historians, including Richard Abels, P. Grosjean, and Alan Thacker, state that Deusdedit died on 14 July 664. The main argument was put forward by Grosjean, who claimed that Bede had the consecration date wrong, as 26 May was Maundy Thursday in 655, not a date that would normally have been chosen for a consecration. Grosjean argues that the best method for resolving the conflicts is to just take 14 July 664 as the date of death, and figure backwards with the length of reign given by Bede, which gives a consecration date of 12 March 655. Thacker and Abels agree generally, although Thacker does not give a specific consecration date beyond March. Abels adds to Grosjean's arguments Bede's association of Deusdedit's death with that of King Eorcenberht, which Bede gives as occurring on the same day. Bede states that the plague of 664 began soon after the eclipse on 1 May. Nothing in Bede contradicts the date of 14 July 664 for Eorcenberht; therefore, Abels considers that date to be the best fit for the available data. The historian D. P. Kirby agrees that Deusdedit died in 664, although he does not give a precise date within that year.

Most historians state that Deusdedit died of the plague that was prevalent in England at the time. Because Bede records the death of Deusdedit shortly after he mentions the outbreak of the plague, the historian J. R. Maddicott asserts that both Deusdedit and Eorcenberht were struck suddenly with the disease and died quickly. Bede is not specific on the type of plague, but Maddicott argues that because of the time of its eruption and the way it arrived in England it was probably bubonic plague. Although Bede does not describe either Eorcenberht or Deusdedit's symptoms he does discuss another victim of the 664 disease, who suffered from a tumour on his thigh, resembling the characteristic groin swellings of bubonic plague.

Legacy
Except for the bare facts of his life, little is known about Deusdedit. Deusdedit's successor as Archbishop of Canterbury, Wighard, had been one of his clergy. Deusdedit was regarded as a saint after his death, with a feast day of 14 July, although the Bosworth Psalter, a late 10th or early 11th-century psalter produced at , gives a date of 15 July. His feast day is designated as a major feast day, and is included along with those of a number of other early Canterbury archbishops in the Bosworth Psalter. Deusdedit was buried in the church of St Augustine's in Canterbury, but was translated to the new abbey church in 1091. A hagiography, or saint's biography, on Deusdedit was written by Goscelin after the translation of his relics, but the work was based mainly on Bede's account; the manuscript of the De Sancto Deusdedit Archiepiscopo survives as part of British Library manuscript (ms) Cotton Vespasian B.xx. Because of the late date of the Sancto, Bede's Historia is the main source for what little is known about Deusdedit. Other than the hagiography, there is scant evidence of a cult surrounding him. His shrine survived until the dissolution of the monasteries in the 1530s.

Today marks our third consecutive "snow" day. "Snow" is a misnomer since what kids and people from northern climes consider snow is definitely not what causes us to close schools and other government agencies in Mississippi. We have extreme weather. Again, it's not really extreme if you have the infrastructure to deal with it. But in Oxford, Mississippi though we do have chilly temperatures, we rarely get debilitating cold/snow/ice. So, dealing with it is not in our city/county/state budgets.
Yesterday morning we did get some bonafide snow and kids were able to sled. But as the heat went on and off in our house all afternoon and the temperatures dropped, I began to worry about losing power. Though we have gas heat, it does not come on without power. We live in town so we don't lose power often and thus have never invested in a generator. We went to bed and it was 7 degrees Fahrenheit. When we woke up, it was supposed to be 5.
We never went to sleep. Just as we were about to turn out the last light, it turned itself off and the heater's comforting sound went whir whir hushhhhhhh. It was pitch black, like the Little House days. I couldn't see anything so I stupidly put my glasses back on. Guess what? Still couldn't see.
Then my husband and I started bumbling around in the dark, searching for flashlights so we could look for the never-used phone book, so we could call the city. It was clear by peering out our window (exactly the same as the inside of the house — pitch black) that the houses on our cul-de-sac were affected, but was anyone else awake to make the call? At one point I said, "Use your cell-phone flashlight!" Duh. We finally called the emergency line for the electric department and beep-beep-beep-beep-beep. It was busy. We weren't the only ones with a problem. Our neighbors texted and asked if we were without power and if we had been able to reach the electric department. Yes. No. A few minutes later, one of our calls went through and we left a message.
The kids were in their rooms — the teenager still awake so I offered our bed so we could stay warm while we waited. "I have a sleeping bag, I'll zip it up. Ziiiiiiiiiip," was all I got. So then with nothing to do in a pitch black house, my husband and I each did something very much fitting for our personalities. He got in the car and started driving around to see how wide-spread the outage was and whether or not the electric department was already working on it, and I did a math problem. I did this math problem not as a math teacher but as a mother — I needed to know when and if I would have to move my kids elsewhere to finish out the night. I did not want to freak out and pull my kids into bed with me. Except for when your 3-year old runs into a busy street, a parent needs to maintain composure.
When are we ever going to use this? I got to do the Newton's Law of Cooling Problem that I have taught for 23+ years! Here is my version of the story which I will forever use in my calculus classes from now on.
It is 10:50 PM when the power goes out in Ms. Cornelius' house. Inside the house the temperature is 65 degrees Fahrenheit, but outside the house it's 7 degrees. 30 minutes later, still no power, but the house temperature has dropped to 60 degrees. Should she go to sleep and not worry about freezing children and freezing pipes? Or should she take the offers of kind friends on social media who have invited her family (and four dogs) to stay with them?
Newton's Law of Cooling states that a body (in this case our house) will cool at a rate proportional to the difference between it and the ambient air. Thus, temps will drop (or rise) very quickly with a large difference, but will drop less as the difference decreases. The model is exponential decay and can be found with a differential equation and a few bits of given information. Then, the equation can be used as a predictor. This also works for heating situations like cooking a turkey which is why it always takes so long at the end for the internal temperature of the turkey to reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit with the leg/thigh area reaching 170 degrees.
This is what I did. I might have a few mistakes in there — let me know in the comments!
With the given conditions, our house would take about 4.7 hours to reach 32 degrees Fahrenheit. This made me somewhat relieved and I stopped engaging my teenager in conversation and let the house fall silent. My husband returned and gave a status report. The outage was fairly local and they were working on it. We had a flicker of light and heat and then heard a dull BOOM. "Dang," he said, "it's gonna be more complicated than just flipping a switch." He went back out and kept driving around. I laid there and debated stealing Peanut the chiweenie out of our 9-year old's bed.
The power DID come back on about 1.7 hours after it first went off. I fell into a blissfully uninterrupted sleep but I am sure the electrical lineman was off to another call. THANK YOU to the electrical linemen out in the frigid cold SAVING LIVES, especially of our very young and very old neighbors.
So the answer to the question, "When are we ever going to use this?" is … the same I always give: I'm not a fortune teller. I can't see into your future. I'm a math teacher. I am preparing you for your future. And now, back to the snow-less snow day.

Southern Hospitality Internship Program's Quarterly Newsletter – Summer & Fall 2022
SPOTLIGHT on our Director Barbara Joines
Barbara Joines unique experiences and leadership qualities make her the perfect person to lead the Southern Hospitality Internship Program in Tennessee. Her experiences and knowledge have been vital in setting up this internship program for college students all across the country.
Barbara is a unique, seasoned executive with over 40 years of experience in the hospitality industry and a great love for her community. Her career has spanned everything from theme park management to the championing of charitable causes. Through it all, a passion for the growth of those around her has been the mark of her career.
After relocating from Florida, she was hired at Silver Dollar City, which would later become Dollywood. Initially drawn to the spirit of the park and its leadership, she was instrumental in the park's metamorphosis, helping to maintain the rich, family culture as new attractions, rides and themes were added. During this time, she embarked on a journey to learn every possible aspect of the theme park business.
Barbara was blessed to work for a Company that embraced ambition, new ideas and creativity. On-the-job training was endless, management by wandering around and servant leadership evolved as the Company's required style of management and grew from 300 to over 2,000 employees. Dollywood received many awards, including the Applause Award, which they were one of only 15 parks in the world to receive. Barbara's responsibilities and titles changed throughout her Dollywood days until her retirement as Vice President & General Manager Emeritus. It seems the only thing she did not learn how to do was to retire.
Barbara and her husband, Gary Joines, pursued their love of travel. It was on a cross country trip that the idea for a new company began to form and Barbara's first venture into retirement would come to an end. Let Us Look Now, a consulting company was formed with a key focus on business improvement projects.
Consulting projects led to the acceptance of a then newly created Chief Operating Officer position for Fee/Hedrick Family Entertainment in Pigeon Forge. There, Barbara was challenged with bringing improvement to their areas of focus for the Hatfield and McCoy Dinner Feud, the Comedy Barn and Smoky Mountain Opry theaters.
After retiring from Fee/Hedrick, God's list for Barbara was not yet complete. In 2016, when wildfires devastated Sevier County, Tennessee, the Joines home miraculously survived. This experience inspired and equipped Barbara with a compassionate insight that created an opportunity to accept the Executive Director for the Mountain Tough Recovery Team. In this new role she was able to use her servant leadership skills to bring invaluable relief to the impacted families through recovery initiatives in Gatlinburg and Sevier County.
An integral part of Barbara's career has been her commitment to serving others. Dollywood's training on the principles of Servant Leadership, mentoring and walking-the-talk developed a management style which is blended with her business philosophies today. These qualities have opened the door to many opportunities for community impact, including serving on the Board of Directors for The Dollywood Foundation and introducing educational programs, such as Dolly Parton's Imagination Library program for childhood reading. Barbara has also served in various leadership capacities for Alzheimer's Tennessee and is active on the planning committee for the annual 4-county WALK, which includes Sevier, Cocke, Hamblen and Jefferson counties.
Today, Barbara continues to pursue excellence in business. Her latest endeavor is working with Sevier County Economic Development Council on a new initiative for the Southern Hospitality Internship Program (SHIP). This innovative program is dedicated to workforce development in Sevier County, Tennessee through internship and career opportunities within a 4-billion-dollar tourism and hospitality industry.
She and her husband, Gary, live happily in Wears Valley. Together, their adventures show no signs of slowing down.
