PSC Passes on Third-party Issue
Wisconsin's Public Service Commission (PSC) last month rejected a California developer's request for approval of model leasing language covering distributed solar generation facilities owned by the developer.
Third-party ownership of generation equipment has been stymied by Wisconsin law in which an owner/installer leasing the equipment to a homeowner, business, or municipality appears to meet the definition of a regulated utility, a situation developers wish to avoid.
Commissioners voted 2-1 against examining the leasing language proposed by San Francisco-based Sunrun, suggesting that any redefinition of "public utility" would fall under the authority of the Legislature, not the PSC.
Nuke Research Funds Requested
Nuclear scientists appealed to a Senate appropriations subcommittee in January for $10–$30 million in taxpayer funding annually over the next several years, to support research and deployment of new, small modular nuclear reactor technologies.
The new technologies are being promoted as the key to future emissions-free electric generation with advantages derived from their smaller scale, enhanced safety through self-shutdown capabilities, and greatly reduced production of spent fuel, compared with large nuclear generation units in current use.
Reader Study Highlights Magazine's Information
The Wisconsin Energy Cooperative News is regarded as a source of "relevant and useful information" by 95 percent of its readers, according to a recent study by the leading U.S. audience research firm.
New York-based GfK MRI sampled readers of this magazine last December and shared its analysis last month. It found that three-fourths of the 172,000 households receiving the magazine read three of every four editions and 63 percent read every edition. Nearly half the respondents said they save the magazine for future reference.
The research firm found that "nearly 80 percent of respondents had taken some kind of action" based on information from the magazine and more than one in four said they'd acted to make their homes more energy-efficient based on ideas found in the publication.
Readers' top three areas of interest—each listed first by 82–90 percent of survey respondents—were articles about energy conservation and savings, stories about events and places in Wisconsin, and news about issues involving their electric cooperatives. A surprising 93 percent said they prefer to read the magazine in a printed format, rather than electronically.
The research firm claims a 95 percent confidence level that its findings are representative of the entire readership.
Co-op Scholarship Offered
Law or pre-law students who reside in Wisconsin and are interested in practicing cooperative law have the opportunity to qualify for the third Charles Van Sickle Scholarship this year.
Named to commemorate the eminent co-op attorney and lobbyist, and partner in Madison's Wheeler, Van Sickle law firm, the scholarship is administered by the Federated Youth Foundation (FYF) and funded through an endowment established in 2013. The FYF is a non-profit, charitable arm of Wisconsin's cooperatives.
Eligibility for the $2,000 award is limited to pre-law or law students wishing to pursue a career in cooperative law who are Wisconsin residents. Preference will be given to students whose parents or grandparents are members of cooperatives, credit unions, or mutual insurance companies. The scholarship will be awarded during the Spring 2019 semester.
Applicants must have a minimum cumulative grade point of 3.0 on a four-point scale and will be judged on leadership, scholastic achievement, extracurricular activities during undergraduate studies, personal motivation, academic and life goals.
To be considered, applications must be received by FYF at P.O. Box 148, Baraboo, WI 53913 no later than April 5, 2019. For more information, contact FYF Executive Director Ethan Giebel at (608) 548-2818.

A stockbroker is referred to as an agent representing customers for purchasing or selling stocks as well as other securities. The particular term can be used for both companies dealing in securities along with their workers, who are technically registered representatives performing their work for the brokerage.
However, to most of the investors, the broker is the individual to whom they make a call whenever they like to make the investment in or trade stocks. Most of the individual brokers perform their work in offices.
A stockbroker presents the client, searching for the ideal deal to purchase or sell stocks. Most of the brokers buy and sell all kinds of securities and many of them manage commodity futures as well.
An individual broker might also give advice to a customer about the time of buying or selling a stock, about the specific things in market dealings.
A client gives an order to a broker for purchasing or selling a stock. The broker then transfers it along through the specific network of the brokerage firm to a floor trader.
After the completion of the transaction, the broker transfers the information to the customer and makes an arrangement to relay any stock certificates or other paperwork.
Individual brokers are given payments on commissions, generally as a percentage of the value involved with the trade. You can discover differences in commissions and fees.
Some brokerage companies regard themselves "discount brokers", providing trades at a single price. Brokers usually regulated by a "suitability role" means they should advise only those investments that fulfill the financial goals and requirements of a client.
An individual broker needs to pass a test managed by the particular authority. After passing the test, a candidate needs to complete registration via a brokerage firm. In some cases, it needs the registration with a securities commission in all the state in which he operates the business.
Stockbrokers consider themselves financial consultants or investment consultants. Stocks provide an individual person ownership in a company.
A stockbroker needs to be knowledge able, should have outstanding relational skills, should be able to give proper attention to details, and also should be good with numbers.His job gives him a scope to improve the financial portfolios of his customer and simultaneously earn him a living.
Among various responsibilities, one basic responsibility of a stockbroker is to purchase stocks on behalf of his customers. He may perform this job in several ways, based on the accounttype the customer holds. In a discretionary account, the stockbroker purchases stock for a client depending on some fixed guidelines.
In case of an advisory account, the stockbroker advises a customer on what stock to purchase and in an execution account, the stockbroker purchases stock that the customer has mentioned specifically.
A stockbroker also sells stock on behalf of a customer. Proficient stockbrokers research economic, accounting, and technical analysis of various companies as well as stocks.
If you are searching the Best stock brokers, then you can consult an experienced professional in this field.

Between them, Bob Huggins and Cliff Ellis have spent a combined 78 years as head college basketball coaches, and the pair has a total of 1,701 victories.
But surprisingly until this coming Monday night when Huggins' West Virginia Mountaineers host Ellis' Coast Carolina Chanticleers in the second round of the CBI, they have never faced off from opposite benches.
That doesn't mean they're strangers, though, far from it.
West Virginia's coach then told a story about the night Ellis entertained Nike president Phil Knight and others in the restaurant with his singing ability. Huggs noted he just hummed along like some sneakered backup singer.
As far as on the court, Huggins is currently eighth on the list of all-time winning Division I men's basketball coaches with 860, while Ellis is 16th with 765.
While the two current West Virginia and Coastal Carolina head coaches have never met on the court, Ellis has been to the WVU Coliseum before. He was coaching at South Alabama when his Jaguars lost to the Mountaineers 65-59 in January of 1981. Then in 1994, Ellis was coaching Clemson when the Tigers came to Morgantown for a second-round NIT matchup. CU put an end to the college careers of West Virginia seniors Marsalis Basey, P.S. Green, Phil Wilson, Ricky Robinson and Mike Boyd that night, dispatching the home club 95-79.
One of the Tigers who scored 10 points in the Coliseum in that NIT showdown was Merl Code, who still is in the news today. A former consultant for adidas, Code was one of the central figures in the recent FBI investigation into the scandal in which money was allegedly funneled to recruits by adidas reps to sway them to attended adidas-sponsored schools. Code was recently sentenced to six months in prison for his part in the scheme that has entangled some two dozen schools.
Ellis is returning to the Coliseum for the first time since that 1994 NIT victory. He'll be bringing a Coastal Carolina club that has never met WVU on the basketball court before.
The Chanticleers, who finished the season in a sixth-place tie in the Sun Belt Conference with a 9-9 league mark, are currently 16-16 after an 81-76 win over Howard in their first round CBI game in Conway, S.C.
In the regular season, CCU faced only one Power 5 program, losing 85-79 at South Carolina in November. It did have close losses to NCAA Tournament qualifiers Wofford (82-71) and Northern Kentucky (89-83), while defeating Sun Belt champ Georgia State (95-82) in Conway.
In his 12th season as the coach at Coastal Carolina, where he is 229-163, Ellis won't bring a big squad to Morgantown on Monday. His biggest starter is 6-foot-8, 210-pound forward Tommy Burton, but it is a team that can score, averaging 76.4 points per game and also is +4.3 in the rebounding department.
For West Virginia (15-20), wins in the CBI are nice – WVU defeated Grand Canyon 77-63 in its first round game – but this postseason tournament is mainly about getting the young Mountaineers – who are currently starting three freshmen and two junior – additional experience.
"The more games these guys play together, the better they are going to get," said Huggins with an eye towards the future. "The opportunity to play five or six more games would be extremely beneficial to them.

Criminal Activities (2015)
Published 4 February 2016 · Updated 20 February 2019
Four young guys reunite at an ex-classmate's funeral. One mentions to the others inside information on a stock that is a guaranteed lock to make them instant millionaires. Unfortunately, the deal goes south along with their investment. Things go from bad to worse: one of them borrowed his share of the money from a mobster.
Crime/Drama
Dan Stevens : Noah
John Travolta : Eddie
Michael Pitt : Zach
Are you sure he said he wanted to talk to all of us?
Actually he said he wanted to talk to everyone but the black guy…..
Yes! He wants to talk to ALL of us!
John Travolta standing in the middle of the cover in a "Pulp Fiction" -like-pose and according to the brief description he has something to do with the mob. He's flanked both by Michael Pitt, who I saw recently playing in the grandiose films "I origins" and "Rob the Mob" and by the alertly looking Dan Stevens. And all this directed by the versatile actor Jackie Earle Haley. It all looked promising. However, the end result is as horrifying as Freddy Krueger himself. A pseudo crime story full of irritating dialogues, nervous characters, and a complex denouement. But don't panic. Everything will be explained comprehensively in the end. A kind of brief guide for those who didn't understand it, entitled "How to screw your friends for dummies".
It all starts at the funeral of a mutual friend from Zach (Michael Pitt), Warren (Christopher Abbott) and Bryce (Rob Brown). The three former schoolmates organize a private after-funeral gathering in a bar where the rather timid and nerdy Noah (Dan Stevens) shows up. Quickly you'll notice that Noah used to be the poor bastard they picked on during college time. He's called, somewhat contemptuously, "poodles". While enjoying a joint, Noah tells them he got a golden tip about shares of a pharmaceutical company. Thanks to a little foreknowledge, this could be a lucrative proposition for them. However, since those loud-mouths don't seem to have the right amount of money, Noah proposes to give them the necessary money in advance. And you'll never guess what the outcome will be. Yep, how's it possible. It goes horribly wrong. The CFO is arrested for fraud. The shares are worthless. And apparently, Noah borrowed the money from the mob.
Enter Eddie (John Travolta). The quiet, calculated and thought out mafia type who, while enjoying a cactus cocktail, explains to them what the options are. Or they cough up the amount due. Or they'll take care of a small matter. Namely the kidnapping of Marques (Edi Gathegi), the brother of a drug dealer to whom Eddie's coke-snorting brother owes a lot of money. To put some pressure on them, the drug dealer kidnapped their niece. The brother could then be used for an exchange. Still following? Trust me, it gets even more complicated as the film progresses.
The most successful performers in this not so successful film (in my opinion) are undoubtedly Travolta and Gathegi, although Travolta also suffers from the illustrious "Bruce Willis disease". First, there's a short opening scene he appears in, followed by a long absence and finally a reappearance during the denouement. And yet his short performance was excellent. Although the attempt to reach the same level of humor as in "Pulp Fiction", didn't really work out. Gathegi only had limited working space, because he was taped to a chair the whole movie. But his defiant tone and manipulative teasing all the time was amusing enough. The rest of the cast just looked like a neurotic and panicky gang. Gradually they start realizing they ended up in a shitty situation. And this leads to lots of cursing, bickering and shouting back and forth (using the f-word an awful lot of times).
What we get is an amateurish kidnapping that takes place in a confined space with forced dialogues. And also a reasonable failed attempt to imitate the chemistry in dialogues as we know from "Pulp Fiction". Everything feels a bit flat and pointless. The only reason why it's so meaningless is that the denouement should blow you off your socks. The calm before the storm. The only lesson to learn here is that you should always treat others with dignity. You'll never know how it could backfire on you.
PS. Funniest moment anyway: the slipping shoes.

Chellino supports students artistic abilities
Krystal Steg, staff writer
Sponsor of the Heavy Metal Club, Coffee House, and now guitar clinics, Mr. Chellino has created countless opportunities for students. Mr. Chellino has also hosted events like the Night of the Living Dead showing, Metalhead showing, and soon the end of the year party for Heavy Metal Club on May 17th in room B104.
Since October, Mr. Chellino has held Heavy Metal Club meetings every other Tuesday. The first meeting was the best turnout- another sing-in sheet was even needed. But after every other following Tuesday, the turnout became smaller and smaller. The last meeting was on May 3rd, with just 6 or 7 people in attendance. A big controversy about this club is what actually happens at it. When you sign-in, there is another sheet of paper for everybody to write down song requests. Going down the list, each one is played and the requester is given the chance to talk about the song. Genres from metal to punk rock, anything "out of the norm" can be shared. This club allows students to share their interests with others and learn new ones they might not have known before.
Coffee House gives students the chance to show their musical talents with others in a judge-free zone. It's not allowed to say sorry if you play the wrong note or mess up. This environment encourages students to overcome a fear of playing in front of people, and to share what they love to do. Even if they don't play an instrument, students can still attend to listen to others play.
Recently in April, Mr. Chellino started a guitar clinic. This was made for students who either want to play guitar or already do, to learn more techniques or songs. The first event took place on April 21st, where Steev from the Fine Tunes Music School came and brought 6 extra guitars and one bass. Luckily, there happened to be 7 people there without an instrument. That's when Steev announced they all could keep these instruments. "It was really cool to get a guitar," said freshman Jennifer Cisneros. "Now I can finally learn how to play an instrument. The next meeting is on May 19th in the little theatre.
"Heavy Metal Club introduced me to new people and new music, I've found a lot new things I like," said freshman Blake Lewandowski. "Mr. Chellino has done a lot for students this year."


Paula Simons: In 1953, the annex building was ahead of its time. Now, will time be kind to it?
It's a message from 1951, when we were a braver, more visionary city, with a more optimistic view of our destiny.
Mocked by some and adored by others, the legislature annex building, as it is now known, was commission in 1951 to be built to house Alberta Government Telephones.
Let me take you back to the Edmonton of the early 1950s, a city on the brink of the future.
It was just a few years after the Leduc No. 1 oil strike of 1947. Edmonton was in the grip of a boom, filling up with postwar immigrant and refugees streaming into Alberta, looking for a new life.
Between 1946 and 1953, Edmonton's population exploded, growing almost 60 per cent. It was a time the city felt bold, creative, ready to take a risk on modernity.
And so, in 1951, Alberta Government Telephones commissioned a remarkable new building as its headquarters: sleek, futuristic, avant-garde.
Designed by H.W.R. (Hugh) MacMillan for the Edmonton firm of Rule Wynn and Rule, it was the first curtain-wall building in the city, and one of the first in Western Canada.
The structurally independent exteriors walls were made of green Aklo glass, set between plate glass windows. It was also the first building in Alberta that was built upon poured concrete pilings instead of structural steel — though that was less a design choice than a necessity of postwar steel shortages.
It was a building of its time and a building before its time. It looked more like a building you would find in downtown Manhattan than in Edmonton's river valley. And it sharply divided public opinion from the moment it opened in 1953 — especially because of its proximity to the more classical architecture of the Alberta legislature precinct.
Today, it's mocked by some and adored by others, from fans of heritage architecture to bridal parties and high school graduates looking for a striking and unique backdrop.
These days, we know the building better as the legislature annex. With AGT now the stuff of history books, the building has been used by the province as an office tower for years. Until recently, it housed opposition MLAs and government backbenchers.
But since they've moved to the freshly renovated Federal Building, the annex has been filled primarily with staff from the forestry department. It's also home to main floor public washrooms, which proved very popular this summer and fall when Pokemon hunters swarmed the grounds.
Now, though, the building's future is murky. The previous Progressive Conservative government proposed to tear it down and re-landscape the area. But it never moved forward on those plans. But as my colleague Emma Graney revealed this week, the NDP government has retained Rockcliff Pierzchajlo Architects and Planners to come up with a feasibility study for the property. Infrastructure Minister Brian Mason says they're considering everything from demolition to restoration and anything in between.
I don't envy this government. It inherited from the Tories a portfolio of under-maintained heritage buildings, including, among others, the Edmonton Law Courts Building, the old Royal Alberta Museum and the handsome brick building in the 104 Street Warehouse District that currently houses Edmonton Emergency Relief Services. It's a lot of real estate to cope with and a lot of deferred maintenance to manage in a time of provincial economic crisis.
Yet many of these buildings still have lots of useful life left in them. Simply ripping them down doesn't make fiscal sense. It's a waste of the money and the materials that went into them. Demolition isn't cheap.
Many of these sites are important public trusts. They belong to all Albertans. The government of the day is merely their caretaker.
Conservative governments past weren't good at conserving. I still feel a pang every time I pass the empty lot where the elegant lieutenant-governor's residence, also designed by Rule Wynne Rule, sat, before the Klein government demolished it in 2004, seemingly in a fit of pique.
The Notley government has so many calls on its purse, so many fires, metaphoric and literal, to fight. With schools, hospitals, highways, and LRT systems all on its funding priority list, it's easy to see why heritage buildings might get short shrift. But modernist masterpieces like the RAM and the legislature annex are such precious public legacies, investments that should not be squandered. And restoring them, sensibly, can make sound economic sense.
Perhaps in 1951 we were a braver, more visionary city, one with a more optimistic view of our destiny. It would be nice to restore some of that energy, that confidence, that cockiness — nice to renew, not just a very special building, but our trust in the future itself.
Graham Thomson: Notley's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day Alberta's politicians lean left and right, but where's the centre?

Comedian Gives Back
Candace Walker
Jamming Jay Lamont, comedian, impressionist and multi-talented entertainer has announced plans to headline several upcoming comedy shows in Atlanta at Uptown Comedy Club, 800 Marietta Street Northwest, Atlanta, GA 30318. The shows are set for November 1-2 beginning at 8 pm. There will also be a second 10 pm show on Wednesday.
Lamont has also offered to give some of the proceeds of his performance to The Clinton Ron Walker Foundation in support of their efforts for teaching youth how to have healthy hearts. "I just want to support the foundation because this work is so needed for our youth so anyway I can help I want to do that."
Lamont, a former classmate of mine from Langston University, has been performing comedy for years. The son of a preacher was born in Oklahoma City and says he lived a pretty sheltered life. "We had to go to church every Sunday and Wednesday. I use to say 'Dad can I go to the football game' and he would say 'You don't have time for that get ready for church' so it was tough but now I look back on it and appreciate growing up that way."
Lamont states the one thing that saved him was singing in the choir and the pretty girls that were in church. "Not that I was ignoring the Lord but I would say 'Lord did you create these girls? Well thank you Lord for the pretty girls'" jokes Lamont.
After graduating from Langston with a journalism degree, Lamont went on to work at the local radio station. He then moved to Houston Texas where he also was an on air personality at a radio station. One day a gentleman that owned a local comedy club came to the station to purchase advertisement and met Lamont. He asked him to host the shows at the club and that is when the comedy bug bit Lamont. "I think people always knew I was funny and loved impersonating people. So when I hosted the shows I really enjoyed it. It really clicked for me and I said let me go ahead and give this a try."
After that Lamont begin to book shows and has appeared on several television shows performing stand up including; America's Got Talent, BET's Comic View, Comedy Central, Showtime at the Apollo, Russell Simmon's Def Comedy Jam, Byron Allen's "Comic Unleashed", and Jamie Foxx presents "Laffapalooza".
Lamont has also performed with many great artists including the legendary Luther Vandross and Roger Troutman. As a staple opening performer for several acts including; The Gap Band, The O'Jays, Anita Baker, Ledisi, MAZE featuring Frankie Beverly, D.L. Hughley, Tommy Davidson, Cedric the Entertainer, Mike Epps, Jamie Foxx, Charlie Wilson, and many more, Lamont's clean comedy style and spot on impersonations is always a crowd favorite.

DojoX UUID is the port of the original Dojo 0.4.x UUID classes.  The UUID
classes can be used to represent Universally Unique IDentifiers (UUIDs), as
described in the IETF's RFC 4122:

2018 was yet another year of evolution in my journey as an anime fan. Throughout the year, I spent less time watching anime and less time engaging in anime-related activities like doing freelance writing, blogging, and livetweeting shows. So as I started to consider "my year in anime," I wondered if I would have much to say.
I needn't have worried. The year is 2018 and anime is still good, so in the spirit of the 12 days of anime project (that I didn't do this year)—here are twelve anime things that brought me some joy this year.
On Mari Okada's magnificent directorial debut and how it deftly weaves narrative, theme, and aesthetic together to create a gorgeous emotional tapestry.
I don't have as much time these days to watch anime, but the start of a new season is always so fresh with hope and excitement just at seeing new things we haven't seen before, that I couldn't resist checking out a few more shows than I actually expect to follow. So here's a breakdown of what I watched, and what I thought!
Despair is a reality with which we must contend.
As you may or may not have heard, Crunchyroll brought the Bungo Stray Dogs: Dead Apple film over the states as part of their Movie Night series. I was lucky enough to check it out, and I wrote up a review of the film with my thoughts! It's no Heartcatch Precure movie, but few franchise films are so I can't knock it that bad for being visually stunning while kind of flat narratively.
Putting words to that vague idea and (likely) wild claim that Hyouka might the best-directed TV anime of all time.

This nonfiction reportage (256 pages) was published in March of 2011 by Harper Perennial. The book takes you to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. Melissa read The Dressmaker of Khair Khana and loved it; it wouldn't be on our site if she didn't recommend it.

The Dressmaker of Khair Khana
Five Sisters, One Remarkable Family, and the Woman Who Risked Everything to Keep Them Safe
The stories of Taliban control and abuses in Afghanistan are undeniable and objectively terrible. But this solidly researched, engagingly written reportage has a happier tale to tell. Meet Kamila Sidiqi, a young Afghan woman who ran a successful sewing business and school in her home — and right under the Taliban's nose.
In 1996, Kamila was 19 years old and had just received her teaching degree. She was looking forward to working as a teacher and furthering her own education. But on the same day that she graduated, the Taliban took control of Kabul, and everything changed. Suddenly women were confined to the burka and their homes. Education for women was no longer an option. Simply being out on the street was incredibly dangerous.
And for her family, being at home was no guarantee of safety. Kamila's father had been a senior officer in the Afghan army. Although he was no longer active, his previous job put them all in danger. So her mother, father, and oldest brother went north — and Kamila was suddenly responsible for her four sisters and younger brother.
She turned her living room into a dress-making studio. In secret, she and her sisters crafted dresses by hand and sold them to shops in the market. Then, when demand outpaced their abilities, they quietly recruited neighborhood women and girls to help. And when these jobs became coveted opportunities, they opened a sewing school to share what they knew. Kamila eventually taught and employed more than 100 women.
It's an amazing story, very well told. There are lovely 'oh, isn't that nice moments' like the first time one of the new employees sews beads onto a dress. And countless friendships were forged in the sewing room that gave them a place to find sisterhood during a scary time.
These uplifting stories contrast with terribly suspenseful, frightening moments. When it's potentially deadly for an unchaperoned girl to be caught speaking to a man who is not a relative, every conversation is fraught with danger — for both parties. Gayle Lemmon's narrative describes a handful of heart-pounding scenes of real danger and suspense.
But ultimately, this is a story of triumph for Kamila and the other women who picked up needle and thread and found independence and empowerment.
Khair Khana, a northern suburb of Kabul, was home to a large community of Tajiks, Afghanistan's second-largest ethnic group… Kamila hurriedly made her way down the dusty street, holding her scarf over her mouth to keep from inhaling the city's gritty soot. She passed the narrow grocery store fronts and wooden vegetable carts where peddlers sold carrots and potatoes. Smiling, flower-laden brides and grooms stared down at her from a series of wedding pictures that hung from the wall of a photo shop. From the bakery came the delicious smell of fresh naan bread, followed by a butcher shop where large hunks of dark red meat dangled from steel hooks. As she walked Kamila overheard two shopkeepers trading stories of the day. — Gayle Tzemach Lemmon

When first responders reach the site of an emergency that is in progress, it often is unnerving and unsettling. They must keep their wits about them and perform their duty while focusing on their own personal safety. And in certain situations, first responders must work to deflate rising levels of emotionalism to prevent further incidents.
Former police officer Bruce Anderson, a senior staff instructor at the Safety Center, offers a conflict resolution class that features training for how to deal with people during emergencies to supplement a first responder's initial field training. The main focus of the class is to teach first responders how to control the situation better and not be controlled by it.
Anderson begins his class with a reminder of the three basic rules of survival: stay aware, stay together and run as fast as you can. Anderson also points out the best traits used for defense are skill, prevention, awareness and attitude.
The formula for a conflict, if known, is simple to recognize. When people, differing views and a triggering event come together, the potential for a conflict is great.
"There are a lot of factors you're dealing with [in a crisis], people's emotions being the biggest one. When you bring emotions into a crisis situation, you eliminate logic and reason," Anderson points out.
According to him, most people become emotional when they are given something they don't want or something is taken away from them. Emotion, gain, competition, relationships, peer pressure and personal attitude are all contributing factors in how a person is influenced to behave at any time.
Anderson makes a point of acknowledging that the victims and the victims' families aren't the only sources of conflict during an emergency.
Anderson also points out that assessing the situation and being aware doesn't just mean using all six senses. "Make it a learning situation. Identify specific threats against you, rally your resources and do not put yourself at risk" Anderson said.
There are four basic human needs: power, belonging, happiness and freedom. Anytime these needs are compromised, there is a potential for conflict, according to Anderson.
Power — Every human has the desire to achieve, accomplish, to succeed and to be acknowledged and rewarded for their endeavors.
Belonging — Every human wants to be liked, loved and accepted as part of a team, organization or family so that they can cooperate, share and contribute. "Anytime someone's family is compromised, you are going to incite violence. Baby-not-breathing calls or vehicle accidents cause lots of stress to a person's sense of belonging," Anderson says.
Happiness — Every human wants to enjoy life, have fun and be happy with the choices they make for work and play. Anderson said that an emergency situation doesn't naturally make people happy, but first responders should always want to try and make it as tolerable as they can. "Your verbiage and mannerism can maintain your control over the situation and keep violence from occurring," Anderson says.
Freedom — Every human wants the freedom to make choices, change their mind and find what they need and want from life. "Let people ask questions. Don't take away (that part of their) free will," suggests Anderson.
Inconsistency, error and a lack of safety or security certainly are main factors in creating a hostile environment, but misunderstanding and lack of communication can create severe issues in dealing with people during emergencies.
"So many family members want to know what's going on during an emergency or where the first responders are taking their loved one and a lot of times, they just want to be made to feel like they are important enough to have that information," Anderson says.
Diversity and prejudice can be a huge obstacle while handling an emergency. Differing values and morals and attitudes can be perceived as inappropriate behavior.
A lack of respect for victims and their families and a demeanor of unprofessionalism can hurt an entire industry of a first responder's peers. Anderson points out that the general public doesn't have much of a concept of individual departments, so when one firefighter is involved in a scandal or a cop is on the front page of the newspaper beating up a victim, it damages the integrity of the profession.
Aggressive — Shows a lack of respect or acting intimidating or forceful.
Subversive — Appears cooperative, but acts devious.
Submissive — Places blame or acts like a martyr; also can be patronizing.
Assertive — Stands up for their beliefs, values and morals without becoming hostile.
Hostile — Uses force, fear or intimidation.
Verbal indicators of impending violence include abusive language, threats, mentioning weapons, making unreasonable demands, self righteousness and curse words. Physical signs to watch for include a change in posture, staring, clenched fists, staggering and a nervous or anxious appearance.
Anderson warns that any threat of violence should be considered real and emergency responders should give plenty of space between themselves and the person issuing the threats.
"You have a right to do nothing if you think it will ensure survival," he says.
Active and passive resistance both can be used to keep a violent situation from erupting. Both verbal and non-verbal techniques can be applied, as well as non-aggressive physical contact. Active resistance is more about creating an opportunity for escape and getting away from the situation.
"When it comes to an attitude of safety, having preventative procedures is the key. Most people don't have it in them [to be a killer]," Anderson says.

Their names were Hwin, the horse, and Aravis, the girl. Englishman John Morgan is out shooting prairie chicken. Un lugar que tenemos que atravesar, un lugar del que huir, en el que habitar, en el que buscar nuestros sueños o robar caballos. El primero, El incrédulo, me pareció un relato interesante si el lector quiere conocer la situación cultural de los indios, como es mi caso. But this would require much more than killing a few Shoshone scouts. The sequel, The Return of a Man Called Horse sees Morgan grow tired of his aristocratic life and travel back to America to rejoin his tribe.
Of course, in the back of John's mind, there is always the thought of one day escaping and returning to his original world and culture. He says his mother was a Flathead Indian, but his entire family was killed by other Indians. After many hours of pain for Pretty Calf, the baby is born dead. During the course of the movie, tribe members do a -style ritual. The Indians brought him to their camp. Black Eagle wants to buy the sister, but Yellow Hand says no.
The assistant, a young man with a single-digit body mass index, looks ill at ease. Running Deer doesn't understand what he tells her in English, so she gives both flowers to Buffalo Cow Head. He joins the tribe by showing his bravery and, later, gets back his dignity by marrying his owner's daughter, killing rival Indians and taking their horses. Old Greasy Hand cut off the last of her fingers, thus she could not work at all. Now the medicine man takes two eagle claws and affixes them to John's upper chest by jabbing the talons in and working them farther into the skin.
Horse learnt out that his wife was pregnant, and he decided to put aside his escape for some time. Este relato trata este tema de diversos puntos de vista y ha resultado muy gratificante darle al coco un poco de trabajo; reflexionar, vamos. The Sioux come after him but stop and will not proceed beyond a certain spot. Warrior's Exile is built around a theme that is often prominent in Johnson's stories - the importance of an Indian's visions and medicine to his life and status within the tribe. He lives with them and begins to adopt their ways, eventually becoming accepted as a member of the tribe and ascending to leadership of the tribe by the 1840s. To bill this as an authentic film which accurately portrays the life and customs of the Sioux is not only wrong and unjust. This was more of a mixed bag for me than Johnson's other collection , where I liked just about all of the stories.
Mi abuelo fue el primer fanboy de Clint Eastwood y John Wayne en nuestro reducido clan, y digamos que, más o menos, desde pequeña me he visto influenciada por estas películas. He lays down just inside the teepee. Hence he natures himself for he finds out this is the only way he can survive. He felt that the way he was being treated symbolized the way one would treat a horse. He has to stand in the sun all day and stand up through the entire night until sunrise the next morning. Morgan comes to prefer the ways of the Indian to those of the white man.
A warrior starts climbing up the hill to see where the arrow came from that hit his fellow tribesman. How do Ove's core values lead him to appear as such a cranky old coot, when he is in fact nothing of the sort? En resumen, una estupenda antología, que gustará a los amantes del western en particular, y del relato corto en general. A brave notices him and tells Yellow Hand. Tenemos ante nosotros un personaje que no está bien psicológicamente y la autora se encarga de hacernos transmitir que es un narrador no fiable. He comes to respect his captors' culture and gain their respect. El relato cuenta la historia de amor de la protagonista con Látigo Randy.
Advertisement That was years ago, though, and after Morgan was found by another expedition he returned to civilization. The Story shows that finding equality is not just finding others like yourself. But Yellow Robe was really hurt. Running Deer opens the flap of the tent for her husband. Buffalo Cow Head now tells John to get up. Ove's devotion and brand loyalty to the company's Swedish roots is so steadfast that he ceases purchasing new cars after the General Motors acquisition, choosing instead to retain his dark blue 1998 Saab 9.
The people take everything from the old woman. Five of these stories, Flames on the Frontier, The Unbeliever, War Shirt, Journey to the Fort, and A Man Called Horse deal with a subject that Dorothy Johnson may have captured better than any other writer - whites living among the Indians, either from choice, or as captives, and the effect this had on them, the Natives they lived with, and the families that they left behind. She takes off one of her moccasins and shows John that there is no hole in it. He tells her that she is so much a part of him that when he goes, she will go with him. In a crowd of people, and at the same time a parade was going on, Shasta was snatched by a man. The young man in the story thought that he would be equal to the kings that were believed to be there, but when he got there he realized that nothing had changed. Totally humiliate and degrade an entire Indian nation.
Lewis from the series: The Chronicles of Narnia This is a tale of a horse and his boy and how they traveled to a mystical land called Narnia. You'd think one ceremony like that would do the trick, without any booster shots. Pocket the profits in Hollywood. A Sioux war party escorts him out of hostile territory. John is with Joe Mattock, who is his guide.
In the vision he tells her that when the chance comes, he will go. Se debía subir a una colina y tras varios días de ayuno, en un sueño los indios verían un animal que les indicase qué hacer, convirtiéndose el animal en amuleto de guerra, portando en las expediciones el pelo del castor o las plumas del pájaro que en sueños le hubiera hablado. There is a lot of wailing in the village as so many Sioux have to be buried. No hablo en ningún caso del amor a Dios, la Navidad o la Pascua. El relato permitirá conocer que el peligro en la frontera no está solamente en los habitantes que hay tras ella, los indios que progresivamente van cediendo terreno, sino también entre los propios habitantes de la población colonizadora.

'Wreck-It Ralph' Running Up $48M Box-Office Score
Disney's "Wreck-It Ralph" leads the way, and "Flight" is on pace for $23M as weekend box office is running ahead of last year
Todd Cunningham | November 3, 2012 @ 9:13 AM
Disney's "Wreck-it Ralph," an animated homage to classic video games, set off bells and whistles at the box office Friday and is on its way to a $48 million weekend.
The PG-rated family film from Disney Animation took in $13.4 million from 3,752 screens in its first day of release. That's a roughly $3,570 per-screen average and puts "Wreck-it Ralph" on pace to match the opening weekend of Disney Animation's last film, "Tangled." That film debuted at $48 million in November 2010 and went on to make $200 million domestically and $590 million worldwide.
Audiences gave "Wreck-It Ralph" an "A" CinemaScore, so word of mouth could push it even higher on Saturday and Sunday. John C. Reilly provides the voice for Ralph, and Sarah Silverman is Vanellope von Schweetz.

Overall box office was running about 15 percent ahead of the comparable weekend last year. That's a strong number, given that more than 100 theaters — mostly lower Manhattan, New Jersey and Long Island, where the power is spotty — remain closed in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. More than 300 Atlantic Coast theaters were shut down at one point last week, but they're re-opening more quickly than expected, and the region's moviegoers are returning to the theaters.
"Flight," the airline thriller from Paramount starring Denzel Washington, is off to a great start. It's looking at $23 million for the three days, after taking in $8.1 million from 1,884 screens on its first day. Its per-screen average of $4,299 was the best of all the wide releases. Audiences gave the film, which is generating awards buzz for Washington and director Robert Zemeckis, an "A-" CinemasScore.
The weekend's other wide opener, Universal's martial arts film "The Man With the Iron Fists," took in about $3 million from 1,868 locations. That projects to a $7.6 million weekend. Rapper-turned-filmmaker RZA makes his directorial debut on the R-rated film, which is presented by Quentin Tarantino, who served as its creative godfather. It stars Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu. Audiences gave the film a "C+" CinemaScore.

Last week's No. 1 film "Argo" brought in $2.9 million from 2,724 theaters. Ben Affleck's political thriller could hit $10 million for the weekend and will pass the $70 million mark in overall domestic gross for Warner Bros.
Fox's Liam Neeson thriller "Taken 2" is looking at a $6 million weekend after bringing in $1.8 million Friday. In its fifth week of release, it has made $120 million domestically and its overall worldwide gross is more than $317 million.
Lana and Andy Wachowski's sci-fi saga "Cloud Atlas" opened its second weekend with a soft $1.5 million from 1,963 locations and is headed for a three-day total in the $5 million range.
Earlier …
Disney's animated movie "Wreck-it Ralph" is projected to open to more than $50 million this weekend at a box office that may feel the effects of Hurricane Sandy with between 150 and 200 East Coast theaters still shuttered.
Much of the Atlantic Coast is still reeling from the megastorm. Exactly how many theaters will remain closed is unclear, with power and transportation services coming back sporadically.
Late Thursday, Clearview Cinemas still had 19 theaters closed in New Jersey and New York and AMC reported 15 of its locations were dark in the same locations. Factoring in smaller chains and independent exhibitors, box office tracking service Rentrak estimated that as many as 200 locations will remain dark over the weekend. That's a lot of unsold tickets and many of the theaters are in typically very busy New York City locales. But the number is down from the 320 East Coast theaters that reported shutdowns Monday.
"It's impossible to say how much it's going to hurt," an exhibition executive at one studio told TheWrap, "but it's going to take a toll." Physical considerations aside, whether a region digging out will be in a moviegoing mood remains to be seen.

Whatever the case, the projections for "Wreck-It Ralph" remain impressive. Disney's computer-animated homage to classic video games is expected to easily eclipse "Flight," Paramount's airline thriller starring Denzel Washington. "Flight" will bow on around half the number of screens — about 1,900 compared to 3,752 — for "Ralph" and is expected to come in at around $15 million. The weekend's other wide opener, Universal's martial arts movie "The Man With the Iron Fists," will finish under $10 million, according to analysts.
"Wreck-it Ralph" is Walt Disney Animation's first film since "Tangled," the Rapunzel tale that did $200 million domestically and $590 million in 2010. The reviews — it has a 79 percent positive rating on Movie Review Intelligence — and tracking have been strong. Disney is confident "Ralph" will connect with a broad audience.
"We think it's going to play straight down the middle," Disney's executive vice-president of exhibition Dave Hollis told TheWrap, when asked if the arcade-setting skewed too much toward little boys. "The strong female character Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman) and the Sugar Rush game are going to appeal to young girls and Ralph (John C. Reilly) and the Heroes' Duty realm will be as much fun for the boys."
Hollis thinks parents will be happy, too. "We believe they'll relate to the classic video game characters of their childhood, and there are plenty of jokes that play over the kids' heads. Our hope is that this becomes a date-night movie, like the 'Toy Story' films."
Pixar co-founder John Lasseter is an executive producer, and the storyline and multiple characters of "Ralph"– as well as merchandising opportunities — are reminiscent of that franchise. The last entry in that series, "Toy Story 3," rolled up $1.06 billion worldwide in 2010.
"The bar has very much been raised when it comes to animation artistry today, but I'd hold this up against anything Pixar has put out recently," Hollis said.
In addition to Reilly and Silverman, the voice cast includes Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch, Mindy Kaling and Ed O'Neill. Rich Moore, who's helmed multiple episodes of "The Simpsons" and "Futurama," is the director.
"Flight" represents a departure for director Robert Zemeckis, known for lighter classic fare like "Back to the Future" and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," as well as "Forrest Gump." The R-rated drama revolves around the investigation of a pilot's heroic emergency landing, during which it's found he had alcohol and drugs in his system.

The good news for Paramount is that Washington remains among the few bankable box-office stars. There may not be a blockbuster on his recent resume, but there are very few flops. Since 2000 his films — which include "Training Day," "Man on Fire" "The Book of Eli and "Remember the Titans" — have averaged $23 million openings and overall domestic grosses of $77 million, according to Boxoffice.com.
This one — which could bring awards nominations for Washington and Zemeckis — figures to wind up in that same range. That would be fine with Paramount; the "Flight" production budget is a reported $31 million. Nadine Velazquez and Carter Cabassa co-star and John Gatins ("Real Steel") wrote the screenplay.
The reviews are outstanding. Eight-five percent of the notices at Movie Review Intelligence are positive, as are 84 percent of those on Rotten Tomatoes.
Rapper-turned-filmmaker RZA makes his directorial debut in Universal's martial arts movie "The Man With the Iron Fists."
The film is presented by Quentin Tarantino, who served as its creative godfather, and stars Russell Crowe, Lucy Liu and an eclectic mix of figures from global cinema and the world of sports entertainment. RZA also stars and co-wrote the screenplay with his longtime collaborator Eli Roth. Strike Entertainment's Marc Abraham and Eric Newman produced.
"The Man With the Iron Fists" was filmed entirely in China on a budget of $15 million. In it, a band of warriors, assassins, and a rogue British soldier Jack Knife (Crowe) descend upon a village in feudal China, where a humble blacksmith (RZA) looks to defend himself and his fellow villagers.
The R-rated "The Man With the Iron Fists" is tracking most strongly with older males and ethnic moviegoers. Universal has it in 1,868 theaters and the studio sees it doing between $7 million and $10 million. The international rollout will begin on Nov. 12.


Divorce is not an easy process, but it doesn't mean that your best days are over. When you decide to divorce or must respond to a request for divorce, it helps to have a trusted ally in your corner. At The Page Law Firm, we believe in focusing on what's important to you and working to achieve an amicable resolution when possible.
Whatever your needs may be, our firm is ready to help you address the issues you are facing.
Most people look at divorce as an ending. The truth is that divorce is a beginning. This is not just a matter of perspective. While it is important to end a marriage the right way, it is even more important to ensure that you set the stage for a new future in which you can begin to chart a new course for your life. An experienced lawyer can help you do just that.
At The Page Law Firm in Frisco, Texas, we will work with you to address every aspect of your divorce in a manner that takes your long-term goals into account.
Texas law requires that all community property be divided between spouses. Of course, fairness is a matter of perspective. A 50-50 split may not be fair if there is some sort of economic imbalance. Our job is to analyze your situation and help you make the best decisions for your future. In addition to a division of community property, which is generally the property acquired by both spouses during the marriage, we must also take care to protect your separate property, which is generally property you acquired prior to the marriage. We are detail-oriented. We will make certain no opportunity is overlooked in our quest to provide you with financial security.
You want to protect your relationship with your children. We are here to help you achieve child custody and visitation arrangements that are in the children's best interests, as the law requires, while meeting your needs as well. We also handle child support payment calculation and calculation of alimony, also known as spousal maintenance or support.
While emotions can be intense in divorce and family law matters, at the end of the day, most people simply want to get through this and get what they consider to be a fair outcome. Life isn't always fair and divorce is certainly a time when you can really experience that, but we are here to help.
In many cases, that does not require a battle. After carefully reviewing your case, we will recommend the option we believe is best. One option available to resolve these cases amicably is Collaborative Divorce®. This is an alternative dispute resolution method that we have found success with frequently. We can also help with options such as mediation, or we can simply pursue traditional negotiation. Trial is an option when appropriate. The bottom line is that we have the flexibility and the knowledge to follow the path that is right for you.
If you are ready to contact a divorce attorney about your options, call 214-618-2101 to schedule a confidential consultation. Our Frisco, Texas family law firm serves Collin County, Denton County, The Colony, Little Elm, Prosper, Celina, Plano, Carrollton, Lewisville, Flower Mound and McKinney.

Last year was an eventful year for Samsung, and that's putting it mildly. August saw the release of the much-anticipated Galaxy Note 7, which blew the competition out of the water — quite literally, as the phone was soon blacklisted from entire countries and banned from major airlines after it revealed a nasty habit of catching fire in owners' pockets.
Not to worry, though; Samsung is a ginormous company, and it has a second chance to regain consumer trust with the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. So how does Samsung's latest flagship stack up against Apple's latest, plus-sized headset? We lauded the latter device in our iPhone 7 Plus review, but here, we examine how its flagship features compare with those of the Galaxy S8 Plus. Read on to find out which smartphone is right for you.

Audiobooks are one of my favorite ways to read these days. While many of my books are available in the audio format, read by professional audiobook narrator Aimee Jolson, I thought I'd spend a few minutes reading passages (generally from the beginning) of each mystery. That way you can get a feel for the stories. You can hear excerpts from the Audible books at Audible.com.
One proviso. I'm not a professional reader, as you'll be able to tell quickly from hearing me. Still, I always think it's kind of interesting to hear the spin an author puts on her own work.
Hope you'll find this fun and entertaining!

It looks like Apple(s AAPL) is ready to announce a new music service on Monday. The latest report from the behind-the-scenes negotiations says Apple and a third major music label have come to an agreement on recorded music licensing: AllThingsD says Apple has gotten Sony Music(s sne) on board with its plan for its streaming iRadio music service.
At this point, a Monday announcement at WWDC seems very likely.
Will it all be free? It's said to be ad-supported. But will there be a premium version without ads?
When will it actually open go online? The word is that it will be introduced next week, but not launch until iOS 7 goes live, likely in the fall.
How will it connect with iTunes? If it's a free music discovery service, Apple's going to want to push people to buy the stuff they like.
Will it actually be called "iRadio"?
Apple is certainly a bit late in launching a streaming music service. But then again, that's the company's general m.o.: it's never first to jump on tech trends to appeal to the tech-savvy. Apple typically hangs back and jumps in with a super simple product that your mom can easily figure out (iCloud excepted). To compete with what's already out there — Pandora, Spotify, Rdio, etc. — Apple's going to have to offer something that's super convenient — integrated with services or devices their customers are already using — or a better value.
We'll be live-blogging Apple's keynote at 10 a.m. PT on Monday, be sure to come back to GigaOM to get the up-to-the-minute details on the new music service and everything else Apple reveals.
BloombergTV says Sony signed on this afternoon.
Silly me, I thought you were going answer the questions, not reiterate them.
Another question I've been wondering is how's it going to work with iTunes Match? Is owned music going to become a thing of the past? I really hope not because I've spent loads building up my library.
I feel the exact opposite Josh. I stopped owning something physical (CDs. mp3s, etc) years ,ago. In my mind "renting" monthly is the way to go. I've had Rhapsody for close to 10 years and have been extremely pleased. Having to tote around music and buy singles is not for me. Streaming is the way to go. The one thing I kind of miss is the packaging. I used to love reading liner notes and stuff like that, but I prefer the trade off of not having tons of plastic take up a wall in my room back when I had a ton of CDs.
